Carrying her two boxes of decorated cookies from the errand, she had to find Kaitlyn. Her heart was in her mouth with nerves. She was going to do it. Confess to Kaitlyn. Ever since her first flying lesson, her heart chose her. It only took her so long to act on it as she wondered if Kait would feel the same way. So she kept putting it off until she physically couldn't anymore. The errand forced her to.
Her heartbeat in her ears, cheeks red-hot with feeling and nerves. Come on, Do it Em. Do it. First, she walked outside to check the greenhouses, as Kaitlyn often spends her time there. The gentle February breeze ruffled her hair and cooled her face down, but only slightly. The first greenhouse was empty, and the second and Emiline hesitated before going in the third, as what if Kaitlyn was there?
She wasn't ready for this. She quickly backed inside and walked to her favourite place. The library. As she walked, her eyes constantly checked down at her two boxes of cookies to make sure they were perfect. The were few people about, and the third year had to change her grip on the boxes to make sure that the cookies weren't knocked or bumped into the ground.
She walked into the library. Hopefully Kaitlyn would be here. Or not, then Emiline wouldn't have to confess today. No, you are going to do it Em! She commanded herself. She turned into the study nook and saw her. Kaitlyn.
Her throat became dry. Her pulse increased. This was it, the moment she would confess. The moment where she could ruin this friendship. Clearing her throat, she approached. Her right hand subconsciously tucking the hair behind her ear. "Um.... Kaitlyn?" Instantly, she cringed. Great way to start, ummm. "I....." The brunette swallows nervously. "I made you these cookies..... from the Valentines errand." She quickly pushes the two boxes towards Kait on the table.
Her heart-rate was so loud. ba-dum, ba-dum. Ba-dum, Ba-dum. BA-DUM, BA-DUM. Emiline licked her now dry lips. Oh god, what's she going to say?! She thought helplessly.

A Sweet Cookie Confession
With her young face twisted in concentration, Kaitlyn was studying by herself in the library. Her Charms textbook and Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks were sitting in a pile in the corner … with her meticulous notes nearby. Presently, she was studying Transfiguration. It was often difficult for her to imagine properly and wrap her mind around the expected outcome. As such, she tried her best to study as often as she could … or at least as often as she could stomach the content of the course. That was often difficult to do when she had so many subjects to study for. Ah, priorities!
As the young snake flipped the page in her book, she heard movement nearby. When Emiline came into view, Kaitlyn looked up and offered a kind smile. “Hi Emiline," she greeted the Hufflepuff girl as she accepted the two boxes. She enjoyed cookies, which was very beneficial for this interaction! Although, frankly, she was far too polite if she didn’t like cookies. Thankfully, that wouldn’t be the case for now.
Opening one of the boxes, her blue eyes noticed the awesome cookie … covered in a familiar pattern of three colors. They formed the colors of the bisexual flag … wait, could this mean what she thought it could mean? Was there a message here? Implied? Made in surprise? Hoped to be conveyed? Pushed through the magical currents?
Kaitlyn could feel her hands tremble slightly as she struggled for a few moments to open the other box. Ah, confirmation. Both cookies were the same. In the same pattern. And that would explain the Hufflepuff’s fidgety behavior … Her cheeks flushed red. “They’re beautiful,” she whispered. That was definitely true. Emiline clearly did a great job decorating the cookies. Although that was also likely not what the Hufflepuff was expecting to hear from the Slytherin.
With the tremor continuing in her hand, Kaitlyn gestured to a nearby chair as an invitation to sit. “I … thank you so much, Emiline … I …” She could barely keep her thoughts straight. If this meant what she thought it meant … as a way to confess … And yet, she didn’t try to go to that errand, choosing self-care on that day. A poor choice on her part.
Taking one of the boxes, Kaitlyn held it out to Emiline. “I think it would be best to share …” she whispered. The entire time, the blush never left her cheeks.

Emiline's face turned a brighter red as Kaitlyn complimented the cookies. A blossom of pride swelled up in her. She likes them! She likes them! She Likes them! Her excited brain screams. Her heart racing, her cheeks flushing deeper. She called them beautiful.

Beautiful. A word with five vowels, four consonants and one deep meaning. A singular word with so much power over Emiline. A word which could brighten someone's day, or lift someone's mood. Beautiful. The compliment makes Emiline's brain short circuit.
The young brunette has to blink out of her flustered daydream as Kaitlyn offered her a seat and to share the cookies. With a nervous smile, she pulls the chair out, but doesn't sit opposite, she move the chair to the side of the table, so its close, but not too close. She listens to Kaitlyn's wonderful melodic voice thank her. "Oh... it was my pleasure....." Emiline gaze drifts back down to the cookies "No problem at all" Her cheeks flush a deeper red somehow and she has to take a quiet breath in to calm her flustered state down.
After her calming breath she says with a shy smile "I'd love to share them with you...." She pulls the closest box towards her..... Then a sudden thought came to her mind, What if Kaitlyn didn't understand the bisexual flag? Praying that she did understand, but knowing that there could be some miscommunication, Emiline knew she would have to be crystal clear.
She clears her throat quietly, wets her lips as they are now suddenly very dry. Her heart deciding to pump really loud. Oh god, why is my heart so loud.... okay okay.... Breath, you've got this. Her gaze went to the table
"K-Kaitlyn .... I like you. Not just in a friend way, and every time we talk it brightens up my day and I can't stop thinking about you.... so I made you these cookies to confess"
Her gaze flickered up towards Kaitlyn's stunning blue eyes, nervously waiting.

Her fingers nervously played with the box the cookie came in. Her blue eyes focused on the cardboard, not trusting herself to look at Emiline at the moment. This was a nice gesture, and she could certainly guess where this conversation was headed. Despite not having much experience, the gears of her mind continued to whirl with possibilities. While there was always the potential of misreading the situation, she didn’t believe that to be the case here with Emiline. After all, it was hard to misread when a pretty girl handed you a cookie decked out in the bisexual flag colors.
The young Snake could feel her heart thrump in her chest at each passing second … and felt like the time was passing oh so slowly. It was as if time stood still! A standstill filled with various thoughts! She nearly jumped in her seat at the sound of Emiline clearing her throat. Kait finally dared to look at the Hufflepuff girl … whose cheeks seemed to mirror her flustered thoughts.
Her eyes grew wide, and her cheeks flushed dark red at Emiline’s words. There it was. The confession. The likely outcome that she was expecting. And yet … that didn’t stop her awkward teenage flush. It wouldn’t help her short-circuiting brain or provide her with any reassurance. Kaitlyn fidgeted in her seat, suddenly feeling like this little corner of the library was suddenly very hot.
Kaitlyn gulped and giggled nervously. A shaky hand rose and started playing with one of her pigtail braids. She met Emiline’s eyes. “Emiline … I … I …” she trailed off. Her cheeks burned even brighter. She took a deep breath in an attempt to quell her hammering heart … which sadly didn’t help much.
“I - I li-like you, too, Emiline,” Kaitlyn squeaked, stammering. “And … not j-just as friends.”

Emiline felt herself grin at Kait's beautiful, gentle giggle. She was so so cute when she was flustered. Emiline almost beamed like a carebear as Kait's cheeks went a deeper flustered red.

Emiline leaned closer as Kait stammered out her name and a start of a response?
Then Kait says what she was not expecting. *I like you too... not just as friends.*
BA-Bump.... Ba-bum. Her heart echoes.
Kaityln Connor likes her back. A slytherin Prefect likes her back! It took Emiline a second for her brain to catch up. "R-really?!"
Now she was getting flustered, for some reason, Emiline had expected to get rejected. The hufflepuff grins like a buffoon who had discovered sugar. "Great um..."
Emiline glances down at the cookies... "Let's eat the cookies? Sorry if you don't really have a sweet tooth, I just wanted to make it super obvious..... Just in case you know?" Emiline starts rambling, clearly a post-nerves reaction of asking out her crush.
Emiline now echoes the nervous giggle Kait did earlier. "Oh god, I'm a such a flustered mess now that you have accepted.... Give me a sec." The hufflepuff, hides behind her hands trying to compose herself. But as she did that, her mind goes to a show she watched about the love interest moving hands away from the other. This makes Emi more flustered. "You are so pretty Kait.... S-so you accept...? Can we try... to you know..... " Emiline then takes a bite of a cookie to slow her nervous rambling and any further and current embarrassment.

Her hand continued to play with her pigtail, her cheeks burned bright crimson.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Kaitlyn’s heart threatened to bounce out of her chest after her confession. It wouldn’t surprise her in the slightest if Emiline could hear her heart beating loudly.
A simple nod confirmed the mutual attraction. Kait didn’t trust her voice at the moment. After all, it wasn’t every day a young girl confessed a crush on another girl. Thankfully, this was going to have a pleasant ending … well, pleasant enough other than the mutual blushing.
Her eyes returned to the cookie, and she immediately shook her head. “I …” she squeaked. Kaitlyn cleared her throat, which did absolutely nothing to improve her higher pitch. It would have to do for now. “I like sweets … you don’t have to worry,” she finally spoke, attempting to control her voice … and likely failing due to the wavering.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Another nervous giggle escaped her lips, and she nervously kicked her feet under the table … her heels grazing the ground, as Emi composed herself. Kait lowered her gaze again to the cookie, her cheeks maintaining the bright flush. It was a truly beautiful cookie, and made even better by the bisexual flag colors.
At the sound of Emi’s voice, Kait looked back at the Hufflepuff. She nodded in confirmation. “I … I do ac-accept. W-we could … y-you know … yes,” she spoke quietly, her voice squeaking through her stutters. Nervously, she took a bite of the cookie, hoping to quell her heart … or at least partially compose herself … or even to give her racing mind time to understand the situation. Although, to be frank, it was awfully unlikely to improve her current embarrassment, after all. She’d likely talk to Demeter, or her honking daffodils, in an attempt to talk about her feelings.

Emiline felt so relieved as Kait said she didn't mind sweet things. In hindsight she probably should have double checked Kait's preferences before all the decorating.

Butttt that's now in the past. Thinking a little too late after acting on her feelings.
Her heart keeps beating rapidly to the point that the back of her mind started to worry that something could be wrong with her heart.
Not knowing what else to say, she took another large bite of the icing-covered cookie. It was almost too sweet.
Then she realised she hadn't actually asked Kait to be her girlfriend properly, she had just trailed off and said 'you know'. like who says you know? She inwardly groans. How could she be so stupid!? Emiline covers her facer with two hands, fingertip touching her hairline and palms at her jawline. Emiline slowly drags them down, allowing her skin to pull. "Kait. Sorry for being an idiot and not asking you properly. Like I should have, instead of being awkward and just trailing off at the end of my sentence. " Her face tinged a light pink as she got herself embarrassed.
She probably had nothing to worry about as Kait was a kind, understanding soul who wouldn't actively go out of her way to make someone feel bad about themselves. That was something Emiline admired about the brunette. Her ability to always be composed and kind no matter the situation.
Anddddd she was getting herself flustered again.
Thinking about it, glancing at Kait, they both seemed very flustered. Ironic and kinda cute. Emiline leaned slightly forward in her chair, resting her left elbow on the table and she rested her chin on her hand and watched her cookie companion. Her eyes soft with adoration and the spark of young love. Looking at Kait, she felt like she could never get bored, she could easily just sit and count every freckle on her face.

To be quite frank, Kaitlyn didn’t mind how the treats she enjoyed were decorated. She didn’t require it to be of a certain sort … and had a rather consistent sweet tooth. The bisexual flag was a nice touch, in her opinion. But, she wasn’t about to say much about it. For one, her mind was racing just as much as her heart. Besides, from her pure elation, she would likely say something completely weird and not thought out. She was definitely the type that needed to think things through before acting … or even responding. Otherwise, who knew how she’d react?!?
With her cheeks seemingly permanently rosy, Kait bit into the cookie. The frosting glowed on her lips. Sweet. Definitely sweet. Kind of like this moment. Er, definitely like this moment. Had her heart quelled its insistent beat? Not a chance.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Kaitlyn looked back at Emi and flushed again at the other girl’s words. She immediately shook her head and squeaked. No, no. This moment did not need apologies, and certainly didn’t need to make either girl more awkward than they already were. Although it looked like that train of thought was already way off base.
“You don’t have to apologize ….” Kait trailed off, practically whispering. When it came to teenage declarations of love, she was by no means experienced. She really had no idea if apologies were to be given. Although if two girls were in love, did they necessarily need to apologize? She hadn’t a clue. Wait … just why was she so hung up on the apology? There was a cute girl with her blushing, and yet she raced down a mental tangent about apologies …
“And you’re not an idiot,” Kait continued, slowly, as if she were trying to test each word as she spoke. She was definitely a serial overthinker.
