15 minutes. That's how long she'd been staring at the door, but it had felt like hours. Katie was starting to wonder if this whole thing was a mistake, and that she should just leave it as it was. Forget it ever happened, and move on.

And yet, there was no way she could do that, because as much she tried to deny it, the truth was that Katie had a crush on Vespa, she thought about her a lot, and she wanted to kiss her again. She wanted to snuggle with her and hold her. She wanted to date Vespa.

It felt wrong, and it was wrong to feel that way. Vespa had killed people, and she seemed unapologetic about it. That should have been all Katie needed to avoid her, but she couldn't, she had to fix this, or at least try to make it right. For her sake at least, and maybe for Vespa too.

Finally, she knocked.

Vespa had spent the time since the failed sleepover being incredibly confused, the reaper had a lot of emotions going through her head. Sure, she hid it well, but she felt hurt and confused.

The knock came as a surprise, she didn't get many visitors, there was only a handful of people it could be. Standing she'd step over to the door, hesitating a moment she'd open.

She'd blink in surprise when she saw that it was Katie. "Uh.....hi?" she wasn't even sure what to say to her, she'd assumed the other girl had never wanted to see her again.

Katie

Katie was surprised by Vespas reaction, she'd expected the other girl to hate her, to never want to see her again, and she couldn't blame her for that. But it seemed like Vespa was more surprised at her arrival than anything. That gave Katie just a hint of hope that maybe this would be okay.

"H.. hi" she said, after hesitating for a moment, her voice just above a whisper. "Can.. can I come in? I... I need to talk to you.... please?"

"Hmm....I...," the grum girl would pause a moment before stepping aside. "Yeah, sure, ok, come in," she was nervous but hiding it decently well, she wasn't even sure what Katie wanted to talk about.

She'd close the door once the other girl had entered. Katie would notice that the snacks were still there, Vespa couldn't eat them so they were a bit useless to her.

"What'd you want to talk about?" Vespa would ask, tilting her head.

Katie

Katie hesitated for a moment before entering, last time she'd entered Vespas room, she'd left with a wild mix of emotions.

Finally, she stepped in, only to find it in much the same state it was in when she'd left it. Her nail polish was still there, as were the snacks. Very quickly Katie began taking sharp rapid breaths, almost to the verge of hyperventilating. It was all a little much for her to take in.

"Well.. I.. umm.. I'm.. uhh" She couldn't make up her mind on what to say. Finally, she looked down towards the ground, squeezed her eyes shut and just blurted out the first words that came to mind. "I'm sorry! I'm so so so sorry!" She said, before taking several choked breaths, and dropping her voice to just above a whisper. "I... I shouldn't have run away.."

She'd blink in surprise when the other girl started to apologize. She wasn't sure what she had expected. "I......," she'd tilt her head. "Its ok....yeah its ok," she wasn't really sure how else she was supposed to react to this.

"Anyways....," she'd rub her arm. "You forgot your nail polish and the snacks." She couldn't eat the snacks, so she might as well let Katie have them all.

"So....yeah," this was all weird and new to her, things she'd never experienced before.

Katie

Katie looked up towards Vespa, tears in her eyes, yet she wasn't crying. Of all the things she'd expected Vespa to do. Forgiving her was at the bottom of the list. "Are.. are you sure? You.. you don't hate me?" she asked, her voice shaky and not quite convinced that the other girl thought everything was ok.

"Oh.. oh, right." she said as she grabbed the nail polish, but not the snacks. After all, they'd been sitting out for a few days, and were probably stale.

"Umm... Vespa?" Katie asked after gathering everything. "Do.. would you want to try to be friends again?" She paused, before giving a pleading look to Vespa. "I.. I'd understand if you say no.. But I'd like another chance.. Please?" she quickly averted her eyes, and clutched the nail polish tightly against her chest, expecting Vespa to angrily send her out.

"I don't hate you," she'd say plainly, tilting her head, she often held grudges but she couldn't seem to do that with her.

The reaper thought about the other girl's request for a moment. Someone wanting to be her friend was rare, let alone someone wanting to do it after getting to know her. "Ok....yeah....sure," she'd nod. "Yeah, we can still be friends."

She expected Katie to hug her, given the girl seemed to like physical affection for some reason.

Katie

Katie stared at Vespa for a few seconds, trying to tell if the other girl was serious or not. She was still willing to be her friend? After everything that had happened? All at once a wave of emotions washed over her, shock, fear, joy. And love.

Before she even knew what was happening the tears were already falling. Unlike the last time though, these were tears of joy. "I... I... Th... Thank you.." Katie forced out in between choked breaths.

She'd look at her, surprised by the tears, tilting her head curiously. "Yeah...sure..," she'd nod, not really sure how to react to the other girl getting so emotional over this.

The reaper would sigh a little. "And.....you can hug me if you'd like," she was surprised that she hadn't done that yet.

If hugged she'd pat her friend's back a little. "So.....what now?"
