    Summary

    This is the type of kiss that everyone talks about, the one she's never quite understood. Kissing Charlie is comfortable, perfectly nice, perfectly safe. Kissing Greta is none of those things. It's danger and thrill and something burning and bittersweet, and even for those first few seconds, that first kiss, that first closeness, it is more, more than she's ever felt, more than she knows how to feel.

    Or

    Carson and Greta's first kiss.

    Written for Femslash February, day 14: Kisses.

    Regina George.

    It's not like Janis doesn't know her, no. Quite the opposite, she knows her too well, more than she wants to.

    She simply has no idea what to gift her.

    Summary

    “My guess is that you were expecting a guy, but-” she laughs, and Janis feels her heart stop at the sound for a millisecond- “Alan is our cutest guy, Aaron needed to take off to spend time with his girlfriend, and Jason is kind of a jerk. We all think so, including Jason.” She blushes red, still holding the food in her hand. “We thought about sending Christian, but he isn’t exactly the most sociable guy. So, we ended up on me. Sorry if you’re kind of let down.”

    She holds out the bag of food, the receipt on top of it with her order request typed neatly under a line. Janis flushes red, reading over what Damian made her write after their third glass of wine.

     

    Plz send the cutest person u have in ur restaurant for the delivery.

     

    “I’m not,” Janis says.

    “You’re not… Janis?” The girl frowns, adjusting her beanie nervously.

    “Let down,” Janis corrects herself quickly. “I’m not let down.”

    (Or, the one where Damian makes Janis write something he thought would be funny in the other requests box on her delivery order, and she ends up getting a lot more than just a burger and fries by the end of it.)

    Summary

    Janis is genuinely fed up because this was a stupid idea and she could be doing so many better things on a Saturday afternoon. She’s about to get up and go, but the bell rings and the oily-haired man wearing a MAGA cap is replaced by the first woman on her speed date roster.

    And not just any woman, but the blonde-haired, blue-eyed muse of her nightmares.

    Her jaw drops and she can kind of feel her brain short-circuiting when their eyes meet. Regina looks equally shocked, mouth hung open and shoulders tense. “Janis?”

    //

    Alternatively, Janis runs into Regina George at a matchmaking party after three years of avoiding her.

    Summary

    The next words come to Janis easily. It’s all so obvious.
    This night was decided the moment Regina walked into the bar and said her name.
    “Well then, what do you want?”
    To answer, Regina reaches down and drags one hand up Janis’s thigh.
