Where could he be?โ Gwyn thought about looking for Azriel. She had told him to see her on the dance floor so she could help him shake off his bad mood, after all thatโs what friends did.
Friends..
She could hardly believe she had so many of them now. She had Nesta, Cassian and Azriel, alongside the other priestesses in Valkyrie training. She also had Emerie, who was more than a friend but also neither of them had made a move to cement.
She kept looking from left to right, scanning the ballroom where nestas mating ceremony was being held, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She tensed until she realized it was Emerieโs hand.
She smiled at the Illyrian in front of her, she looked stunning and breathtaking with her golden dress. Gwyn had always thought that Emeries presence resembled the sun. Warm and bright, Illuminating every room she walked to.
A light among the darkness of the night.
โ Are you okay?โ Emerie asked with concern.
โ Oh yes, yes everything is fine Emerie,โ Gwyn smiled, laying her hand on top of her friends.
โ I just saw you looking everywhere, I was concerned you werenโt feeling okay and were looking for the way out,โ Emerie said, smirking.
โOh so you came to my rescue?โ She joked.
โ Absolutely, as a Valkyrie it is my responsibility and duty to rescue all damsels in distressโ winking at Gwyn, Emerie grabbed her hand and kissed it, never breaking eye contact.
Gwyn snorted and then hid her face between her hands as she blushed.
Emerie chuckled enamored with Gwynโs reactions.
โWhat or who were you looking for?โ Emerie asked, blushing at how cute Gwyn looked.
โ Iโm looking for Azrielโ Gwyn answered, still laughing slightly, a bit embarrassed of how easy Emerie could make her blush.
One of Emerieโs eyebrows lifted in curiosity, โWhat are you looking him for?โโ
โ Oh! He was in a terrible mood last time I saw him,โ Gwyn explained, โSo I told him after the cake he should come and dance.โ
โThat might be hard,โ Emerie winced.
โโWhy?โ Gwyn asked, concerned, โIs he okay?โ
โโOh yeah,'' Emerie answered rapidly, โ I just think it might be hard getting him out on the dance floor when he is too busy chasing after the middle Archeron.โ Emerie answered wiggling her eyebrows
Gwyn gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, โReally? He went after her?โ She asked eagerly.
Emerie nodded chuckling, โ Yes, saw her bolting out of here and him not long afterโ
Gwyn sighed content, โ How romantic,โโ
Emerie nodded, โ Who would have thought the shadowsinger was such a romantic,โ
Gwyn noded, โCan you imagine if he comes tomorrow to training with a smile?!โ
Emerie gasped exaggeratedly , โ What if he actually laughs or even makes a joke!โ
Gwyn put her hand on her forehead dramatically, continuing with the teasing, โ The world is ending!โ
Emerie snorted and laughed loud enough that even some couples turned to look at them. Nesta who was dancing with Nyx looked up at her friends and shook her head smiling. Finally they were both giving each other the chance of true happiness.
Emerie rested her forehead on Gwynโs shoulder while grabbing her stomach, โ You never cease to surprise me Gwyn,โ she said.
Gwyn smiled, โThank you,โ she said, making a small curtsy.
Emerie parted from Gwyn and offered her hand, โ Well since a certain shadowsinger is no longer available, would you do me the honor of dancing with meโ She said winking at Gwyn, โ I hope I am a good enough substituteโ
She smiled, โ You are even better than the first options,โ she joked, winking back.
Emerie grabbed her hand and twirled her. Gwyn gracefully spun and held on to emeries shoulder once she finished. Both giggling and blushing, a first love blossoming between them.
Gwyn grabbed Emerieโs hands and started to dance with her, moving back and forth. Enjoying their time together, laughing and feeling free.
They danced until their feet hurt, until everyone else went to sit down.
Eventually they walked out of the ballroom and sat down on the stairs, looking at the stars.
Gwyn rested her head on Emerieโs shoulder and wrapped her arms around Emerieโs left one. โDid you ever wish for a mate?โ
Emerie thought about it for a bit, โ No,โ she said and turned to look at gwyn. โ Maybe it would be nice, you know? But I also think there is a beauty in falling for someone, even if itโs not meant to be.โ She continued while looking at gwyns eyes, her sight traveling slowly to her lips.
Gwyn saw Emeries gaze traveling to her lips and slowly got closer to her, โ I always dreamed of one up until one,โ she whispered looking her directly in her eyes.
Emerie closed the distance in an instant and held her cheek. Gwyn closed her eyes the minute their lips crashed, she fully turned her body to be facing Emerie. The kiss was slow and tender, soft.
Gwyn pulled away from the kiss first, blushing and with teary eyes. โ How long?โ
Emerie, equally blushing, stunned by the kiss, answered โ Iโm not sure,โ she said holding Gwynโs face between her hands, โ I just know that, one day I couldnโt stop looking at you and smiling whenever you smile. I couldnโt stop thinking about youโ
Gwyn hugged her and hid her face on her neck.
They stayed there hugging and enjoying the feeling of being on each others arms.
