Oh !! Do you have any headcanons for Cherosie maybe? đđšâŁď¸
-for reasons cheryl doesnât understand yet, she starts spending more time with josie mccoy. maybe itâs because tina and ginger are gone, maybe itâs because valerie and melody started dating, but the amount of time sheâs started to spend in josieâs music room should concern her. and yet, it doesnâtÂ
-cheryl nearly runs when josie comes to her in tears after her father did god knows what to her self esteem. she isnât used to this role. she doesnât even think she knows how to be nurturing. but josie steps into her arms and cheryl finds herself whispering empty threats to her dad the way she knows sheâd want josie to do for her. when josie finally calms down, josie kisses her so hard cherylâs afraid her lips might bruiseÂ
-a few months later and theyâre in josieâs room, lips buzzing from all the kissing. she lets josie undress her. her hands shake as she goes to undress josie, too. âyou know itâs okay if youâve never done this before,â josie says. this time when they kiss itâs with softness that makes cherylâs head spin. âi havenât done anything like this before either.â
-the first time cheryl tells her is when sheâs leaving on tour with the cats. cheryl should be supportive but her head keep telling her that she wonât come back. tears prick at her eyes but she wonât let them fall. âi love you,â cheryl says freely; the first time since jason died. âand now youâll leave me, too.â
josie shakes her head. âcheryl,â josieâs eyes shrine with tears, too. âi promise iâll be back.â
-itâs almost five months before she sees her again. josieâs gone for the summer and first quarter, too. they call, they text, but cheryl still feels like sheâll wake up and josie will have been violently ripped away from her.
-thereâs commotion at school that day. exasperated teachers try to reel their students back in but itâs useless. people talk, celebrities and the pussycats and josie and-
she pretends like she didnât wear a pussycatsâ tee shirt to school that day. she avoids veronicaâs knowing eyes like the plague. she considers sending an acid remark her way but she knows that sheâll only be building a case against herself.Â
-when the bell that signals the end of the day does finally let out, cheryl is the first out of her chair. she sends a text to the vixens, practice is canceled, and she knows none of them will question it. she weaves through hoards of students, not bothering to stop when they call out to her. and then she sees it: the shine of metallic cat ears. five months of frustration melt away in the five easy steps cheryl takes to reach josie.
âthereâs my girl,â josie says.
âyou came back,â cheryl says back.
âi told you i would.âÂ
-josie cups cherylâs cheeks and she kisses her, a kiss that cheryl thinks is well worth the wait. she hears the faint snapping of pictures, sees the flashes of lights behind her lids, knows that their kiss will be plastered on social media before itâs even over. but that doesnât matter because josie is here. josie came back and her lips are even softer than cheryl remembers.
