Willow looked at herself in the mirror again and scowled, Rory couldn’t possibly be right. Her hair wasn’t fine – even with the other girl’s stringent protests to the contrary. Looking over at the bed she sees the older girl sprawled out and staring at the ceiling, realizing that she wasn’t paying attention Willow quickly scrambled to get her hair looking at least somewhat controlled she quickly lays on the bed next to her. “Rory, did you mean it when you said I was amazing?”
The older girl turned to look at her, was she serious? Looking at Willow in disbelief Rory says exasperated, “Yes Willow. I swear to god… Do I have to prove it to you?” The quick response in the affirmative was enough to make Rory wonder, her eyes travel across the slighter frame of the runner how was she going to convince Willow that she was amazing.
Biting her lip Willow dared a glance at Rory, expecting to be met with an angry if not furious face. Rory had problems with letting Willow accept that she was anything less than amazing, but in its place she saw a soft look. Looking down Willow almost scoffed- pity; Rory was pitying her. That would explain a lot… Letting her live there, always being kind, it was just to hide that she had no reason why she was so “amazing and beautiful and not a monster” sitting up she scowls at Rory. “You’re pitying me aren’t you?”
Rory looked as though Willow just slapped her, sitting up she looked at Willow seriously. “Willow, where the hell did you get that idea? No, I don’t pity you – you’re beautiful and intelligent and fantastic, what’s there to pity?” Walking up to the smaller girl she traps her between her arms and against the wall, and before Willow could utter another word Rory leaned in and kissed her deeply.
Willow’s eyes shot open as she felt the other ginger’s lips against her own, and without thinking she wrapped her arms around the taller girl’s neck and kissed back. She felt so helpless, so angry all the time and she poured that into the kiss, and for the first time in a long time, Willow didn’t feel alone.
