Most have left from the meeting, all that is remaining is Ace, Graham and Tegan. Tegan is typing away on her laptop. “How is everything else going Ace?”
“Fine, what about you Graham? Have you heard from Ryan recently?”
“No,” Tegan starts typing loudly, laughing at what she is doing.
“Tegan, what are you doing?”
“Writing fanfiction.” Tegan looks up real quick before looking down. She silently laughs at Ace’s panicked face.
“About what,” Graham isn’t looking at Ace, keeps his eyes focused on Tegan,
“You and Ace.”
“W-what? Why,” he glances around hoping no one knows he has a thing for the woman next to him.
Slowly, “Ace asked me to. I’m being paid.”
“I told you to keep that anonymous, you idiot.”
“Like I was going to do that. Everyone in this weird family knows you two need to be together.” Tegan adds, “and Graham after finally admitting he was madly in love with her, takes her by the waist, bringing her as close the two can get with clothes still on.”
“Tegan, stop.” Ace demands.
“One second,” Graham quietly adds, turning to face Ace. “Why did you want her to write fanfiction about us?”
Sighing, “isn’t it obvious, I like you.”
“We are both chicken shit, aren’t we?”
“What do you mean?” Ace searches his blue eyes for the meaning.
After the kiss breaks, “I love you too Graham.” Tegan reads what she writes.
“Tegan, shut up.”
“No, Tegan, keep going, though as you are watching us, you may want to rewrite the part of the kiss.”
“Graham,” Ace asks.
“I love you, with what you paid Tegan to do.”
“And after I post it in the chat, everyone is going to comment saying something along the lines, you know they should be together.”
“Tegan, continue writing, but Graham and I are having a moment and you need to stop being the peanut gallery.”
“Ace, do you like me?”
“I love you, you idiot.” His hand starts to cradle her left cheek.
“May I kiss you,” smiling Ace nods in a silent response. Angling his head, first gently brushing their lips together before laying them together. Both let out a little happy sigh as their eyes close and their bodies mold together. Tegan stands up, closes her laptop and walks away. Thinking of the note she will add at the end of the fic.
A few weeks later, “has anyone heard from Ace or Graham since Tegan posted that story about them. I stopped by Graham’s place a few times and there was no answer at the door,” Yaz asks the group.
“You didn’t read my note that I put in there didn’t you,” Tegan asks with a large smile.
“No, I never read the author's notes on fanfiction.” Yaz says.
“Ace did text me each day these past few weeks that she wasn’t coming in. After questioning her, she told me everything was more than good.” Nyssa adds, pondering what could be going on.
“Graham found out Ace paid me to write it, and they got together. They have most likely just been too wrapped up in each other to do anything. Nyssa, remember we were like that.”
“Wait,” Yaz starts to panic, “Ace paid you. Paying for fanfiction is illegal.”
“We looked into it. It’s illegal if the ip belongs to someone else. I still won’t be accepting any money from her though. I did this only from the goodness of my heart to get them together.” Tegan exaggerates by putting her hands over her heart.
“You mean they are finally together.” Jo asks.
“I have a feeling, if they come by anytime soon, both will be exhausted.” Tegan jokes as Ace and Graham rush in.
“Sorry we’re late.” Ace says as she sits down.
“Finally coming up from sex to see other people.”
“Tegan, not right now.”
“Oh we all have to.”
“No you don’t. Yes Graham and I are a couple now.”
“Don’t forget, we have spent the past 14 days in each other's company doing many things.”
“More than sex. We aren’t going to take things slow, saying that.” Ace grabs her bag.
“Yaz, Ryan is my best man, do you want to stand up with him?”
“Wait, you're getting married?” Tegan stands up.
“Yes, Tegan and you are my matron of honor. Graham and I know that something can happen at a moment's notice.”
“I also know that I want to spend the rest of my natural life with this wicked woman. We talked about it in length, we would like all of you there.” He looks around at everyone, who looked shocked. “Can everyone please come to the courthouse wedding I will have with Ace in one month's time?” After a beat Ace and Graham are swiped up in hugs by everyone.
One month later they are married in a nice little ceremony.
