adora looked into glimmer’s eyes longingly.
“i love you,” glimmer whispered, finally, and it felt as if a huge weight were being lifted off of her chest, as if she could finally breathe, as if she had been carrying such an immense burden for so long that she had somehow just gotten used to it, and now she felt as if she could fly. she felt so light and happy and free and so utterly floaty that maybe, just maybe, her little, minuscule wings that could do little to nothing might just fly her away to the moon.
except there was one thing.
just one thing tethering her to the earth.
the thing was currently staring at her, mixtures of shock and adora tion and something glimmer just couldn’t place.
“... adora?” glimmer said sheepishly, and she could feel the blush forming on her cheeks. and then she realized. it was that look. “adora, please don’t cry.”
the tears were already rolling down her face. adora wiped them away as fast as possible, sniffling. “sorry, sorry, it’s just- oh my god.” she let out a chuckle, and suddenly glimmer was nervous. “i love you too, glimmer.”
glimmer sighed a happy sigh. “thank god,” she laughed, but it was cut off shortly by the sweetest kiss imaginable.
glimmer sighed into it.
finally.

and alas, her plan had worked.
