Leighton had never been happier. Her relationship with Reyna seemed to get better with each and every passing day. She could feel herself falling deeper and deeper in love. Not that she would admit that out loud, however. She wasn’t ready for that yet, wasn’t ready to potentially lose it all, if the feeling was not returned. She knew that her girlfriend cared greatly for her, but she didn’t want to risk it, not yet. She did feel a small smidgen of guilt, feeling like they were keeping everyone in the dark, but it was enjoyable keeping their relationship private, keeping between them and those who knew them in real life, and not over the screen. They were hiding in plain sight. They still acted like themselves on camera, still went out in public as a couple. They just hadn’t addressed their relationship. At least, not seriously. As careful as they were when filming, she hadn’t thought that they would need to be while out and about. Her own fanbase was decently sized, but sill small. And while Reyna was definitely more well-known than her, they were able to go through their days with barely ever being spotted. Which was why she didn’t even think anything of holding her hand as they walked down the street. That was, until she heard someone say their names. Frowning, she turned towards the voice, not recognising it. Her eyes widened slightly as it was clear it wasn’t someone that they knew. She smiled softly as the teenage girl rambled about how she loved them, and if it was okay to get a picture. Her hand was still firmly in Reyna’s, and she gripped it a bit tighter, knowing that letting go of it would send out the message to her girlfriend that she wouldn’t want to give. “Sure!” She agreed, hoping that it wouldn’t make Reyna uncomfortable to do so.
Walking around in public with Leighton was never a big deal to Reyna. They may haven’t yet confirmed anything, but they weren’t denying either. She did think it was entertaining for people to speculate and have others shut them down, but she also didn’t think it was really anyone else’s business yet. The second they do confirm it, it’s no longer going to be them separately. Everything is going to be surrounding them. The second one is without the other, break up rumors will start. When they’re together in every video, people will start complaining that their content has changed to exploit their relationship. None of it sounded appealing to Reyna. This just seemed easier. As they were walking down the street hand in hand, the last thing she really expected was to hear their names among the others that could potentially be called out. It wasn’t really a ghost town at the moment. She turned around and kept her grip in Leighton’s hand, smiling at the fan. “Of course,” She replied after her girlfriend, moving to stand beside the girl. She didn’t let go of Leighton’s hand behind the girl’s back, not really wanting to let her go despite the obvious fan of both of them.
