Work Text:
Helena and Amanda sit on the table and talk with each other.
"I fell hard for her", blurts the former out suddenly.
Amanda can already guess who Helena is talking about. She doesn't even have to say Zeudi's name to know that she is the person that Helena fell for. The black-haired woman knew it before Helena said something. After all she has eyes, which are pretty good working, and she can see how Helena looks at Zeudi.
"And will you tell her how you really feel about her?" asks Amanda.
"I don't know. I'm afraid. What if she doesn’t feel the same way?" asks
Helena and is scared that this could ruin her friendship with Zeudi, which means everything to her.
"You will only know that when you talk to her", says the black-haired woman and wraps an arm around Helena's shoulder.
Amanda can understand that she is scared but she won't know if Zeudi may feel the same when she doesn’t talk to her.
Helena knows that her friend is right.
The blonde woman thinks for a moment and decides to sleep one night on whether she should really confess her true feelings for Zeudi. She wants to spend the night thinking about whether she should really take this step or not.
On the next morning is Helena the first who wakes up. She immediately realizes that at some point during the night she snuggled up in Zeudi's arms. No wonder she slept like a rock last night. She feels safe and comfortable in Zeudi's arms. She always sleeps good in her arms.
Helena watches Zeudi sleeping but not in a creepy way. She looks so cute when she sleeps.
A few minutes after Helena woke up, Zeudi stirs and wakes up herself.
They cuddle a while with each other before they decide it's time to get up.
Helena wants to do it immediately, right after getting up. She can't wait any longer, she needs to get this off her chest now. She dreamed about Zeudi last night and that is a sign for her to confess it to her.
She can no longer hide her feelings for Zeudi. But she is pretty nervous. No matter how it turns out or what Zeudi says, something will definitely change.
The older woman hopes so much that Zeudi returns her feelings. But if not, she hopes that they can continue to be friends and that it won't become awkward and uncomfortable between them.
But now Helena decides to jump into the cold water. Helena's heart beats quite fast and it even beats up to her throat.
She gathers all her courage. She takes a deep breath before she opens her mouth.
"Zeudi, I need to tell you something", says she with a slightly shaky voice.
Zeudi is afraid because it sounds pretty serious. Oh god. What does Helena want to talk to her about shortly after getting up? What can't wait until they eat some breakfast or at least had a cup of coffee?
"I can't anymore", blurts the taller woman out.
Zeudi's heart stops for a moment as she heard this sentence coming out of Helena's mouth. What does she mean by saying she can't do it anymore? What can she no longer do?
Does she want to tell her that she wants to leave the house? Oh, please don’t. The younger woman really hopes that this isn't the case. Because she cannot lose her, she couldn't imagine being here in this house without her. It would be impossible for her and she would miss her so damn much.
But she could understand if Helena really wants to leave this house. Of course, she could understand it because she can see how sad and depressed sometimes.
Even though when she is sad about it, Zeudi will understand it and will support her in her decision to leave this house.
However, before the younger woman can open her mouth to say something, Helena continues.
"I can't pretend anymore that I'm not completely in love with you. I want to be with you. I already told you that I can imagine us in my home. I can imagine us outside of this house", says the older woman and holds her breath for an answer or a reaction from Zeudi, who is taken aback by this.
Did she hear that right? Zeudi has she feeling she is still dreaming. But something tells her she is definitely not dreaming.
"I'm in love with you too", says she finally. Helena's eyes light up.
"Really?" asks she like she can't believe it.
"Yes, really", assures Zeudi. Helena's heart skips a beat.
"It's pretty hard for me not to kiss you every time we are close to each other", admits she.
Zeudi smiles because for her it's pretty hard as well. But now after they finally admit their feelings for each other, they don’t have to hold back anymore.
The younger woman slings her arms around Helena's neck and pulls her down for a kiss. Helena moans as she returns the kiss. She wraps her arms around Zeudi's waist to pull her closer to her.
Because of the need of air they break their kiss and Helena rests her forehead against Zeudi's.
"So, those that mean we are offical in a relationship and girlfriends?" asks the younger woman just to be sure that they are on the same page, so that they don’t have any missunderstandings between them.
"Yes, if you want that", answers Helena without hesitation.
"Hell yes. I definitely want that", says Zeudi happy and excited.
Helena has now a bright smile on her face when she hears that. Without warning, she lifts her now girlfriend up and swirls her around.
Zeudi lets out a hearty laugh her girlfriend spins her around. She can't believe her luck. She thinks she is the most happiest person on this earth. The woman she is in love with returns her feelings and is now offical her girlfriend.
Helena puts her girlfriend back on the ground. They look into each other’s eyes and get lost for a moment.
Suddenly Helena's eyes flickers to Zeudi's lips. She leans down and kisses her girlfriend again. They break the kiss and Helena buries her head in the crook of Zeudi's neck.
The older woman thinks she doesn't even thanked Zeudi for what she did for when Ilaria attacked her after the gala last Monday.
And that’s exactly what she wants to do now. "Thank you, that you protected and defended me. I don't know what I would do without you", whispers Helena against Zeudi's neck.
"I will always be there for you. I will always protect and defend you, no matter what. That's a promise", replies the younger woman and rubs Helena's back.
Helena knows that her girlfriend will keep this promise. But she will also protect and defend Zeudi.
She pulls her head back to be able to look Zeudi in the eyes.
"I love you", says the blonde woman and kisses Zeudi on the forehead.
"I love you too", replies the black-haired woman.
Suddenly Amanda comes over to the them. She couldn't help but eavesdrop their conversation because she was too curious how it could end.
"I'm so happy for you", says she and takes them into her arms.
Finally, is the only thing that Amanda thinks at the moment while hugs her two friends.
The couple will do yoga after eating their breakfast. Although Zeudi doesn’t like yoga that much, she would do it for her girlfriend. She would do anything for Helena, even things she doesn’t like. She only does yoga to be near Helena.
