Chapter Text
Brightney brushes the blue strand away from Connie's cheek. "You want to know what the best part of being a lamp is?"
Connie gazes into her eyes with a small smile growing. "What is it?"
"You always look so beautiful in my lighting." Brightney murmurs. Connie almost loses her absolute mind. Her face seems to capture what her mouth couldn't.
Brightney giggles at her girlfriend's expression. "Your shyness around me has always been so cute." She moves her face closer to the girl. "The blush is for me and it makes me feel.. Haha.. Silly?"
"Silly? How so..?" Connie speaks in a low tone similar to her.
"You make my heart feel so warm." Brightney grabs Connie's hand gently and puts it to her chest. "Do you feel my heart beating?"
"..Uhhhh.. Yeahh.." Connie.
"Can I feel yours?"
"I don't know if you could. I'm a ghost and all."
"Can I try?"
"Sure. Go ahead.." Connie now takes Brightney's hand and puts it to her chest.
Brightney's breath stops for a moment to concentrate on any thumping against her palm. Nothing. Her eyebrows furrow as she looks down at the hand.
"Yep, I knew ther-"
"Wait, I feel it!"
"Huh?"
"It's beating so fast! Wow! Connie, you're so nervous!"
Connie squeezes the hand on her chest. "I'm.. I'm feeling pretty silly myself, heh."
They look up at each other and lean in for a kiss. Their quickening heartbeats syncing up.
