• Briar Beauty x f!reader
It was not like you and Briar were keeping your relationship a secret, people simply never asked if the two of you were dating anyone. two that if anyone found out they wouldn’t care, but you and your girlfriend wanted it to be a private thing for a while before telling anyone you guys have been seeing each other.
Now there was no one in particular that Briar herself didn’t want to find out but, there was one princess at Ever After who you would never want to find out. And that person is the one and only Apple White, also known as, your older sister. Now, don’t get me wrong, you loved Apple more than anything.
But your sister was devoted to following her destiny, for some reason she just loved the idea of getting poisoned one day and becoming the next Snow White. Still, as you are the younger sister you don’t have to follow any destiny, but Briar still does as she is the next Sleeping beauty.
You know that if Apple found out she would be — upset.
Because if Briar is dating you she wouldn’t be able to get her Happily Ever After. At first you thought about telling her, but after she found out that Ashlynn and Hunter were dating, her reaction made you rethink that choice.
Briar was understanding of your wanting to keep your relationship unknown to other peering eyes, but she also thought it was hilarious. The reason for this being? No one had suspected a single thing, you see before the two of you had gained romantic feelings for each other your friendship was close.
At first people did think, “Are they dating?” But after weeks of denying it, and the multitude of times they caught you napping together, hugging, holding hands, and being literally the epitome of a couple, your friends and such just shrugged it off eventually, thinking you two were just being touchy, and they had no qualms with that.
Apple thought it was cute, she was all giggles when she saw you two sharing what she thought was “just platonic affection,” that’s why when she saw the both of you holding hands in Book End she didn’t bat an eye. Or when your eyes lingered on each other than what would be considered friendly, in her eyes it was not but friends being friends.
Yet, you can’t help but wonder if that is what led up to this point…
“Seriously Bri, I can’t believe no one thinks of anything!” You tell Briar, wrapping your arms wistfully around the base of her neck. Currently the two of you were hiding out in her room, having a quiet little study date, “I wouldn’t be so sure, I think Cupid has noticed.”
Briar laughs, her own hands cupping your face, before leaning forward to kiss you on the lips gently, “Mwah!” She chuckles, while you sighed, content with your wonderful girlfriend. “I wanna know just how long before someone catches us,” Briar thinks, “Hopefully Goldie isn’t the one to find out.”
You both grimace, “I love the girl but her and her little Mirror are a dangerous duo. I swear she probably has hidden cameras or something,” Briar whispers, while looking around the room. “Probably, but enough about Blondie, I wanna know about you, how’s your day been?”
You question, while Briar begins to tell you of her daily adventures so far. “Well, I passed all my tests today, I nearly jumped out a window, again, just to feel that rush of adrenaline, and I got another gift from a certain froggy prince.”
"What was it this time?” She stares into a small trash bin at the side of her bed, little bits of green poking out. Throwing her arms up on the air, Briar tells you, albeit sarcastically. “A lovely bouquet of swamp grass!” Your expression changes to one of concern, “Swamp grass…? Hopper gave you swamp grass?”
She nods solemnly, “I live for the day I can just walk up onto a Castleteria table and shout at the top of my lungs, "I’m dating [Name] everyone! And then I’ll jump down into the hopefully large crowd and kiss you right on the lips, in front of all those kids..”
“Briar that is, wow, like just wow!” She leans forward and wraps her arms around your waist, the corners of her lips lifting up to give you a gentle smile. “But you know what day I wanna live to see?” Briar hums in response, “The day I get to tell someone that my name is ”[Name] Beauty.’“
Briar can feel the heat rise to her cheeks, and her eyes go soft, "You, you really want to get married someday?” Briar murmurs, her voice quiet as she looks at you. “Of course I do, Briar I love you, I may not be your perfect prince charming, I may not be the one to wake you with a true love’s kiss, but hex knows I’ll be the one to put that ring on your finger.”
You state determined, while Briar hides her face within the crook of where your neck and upper body meet. “And, you don’t have to wait to kiss me,” Though Brian can’t see your face, she can hear that teasing tone.
She lifts herself up, and looks deeply into your <[color]> eyes. When Briar looks at you, she sees nothing but pure adoration. “Well then, don’t mind if I do!” She smiles, while you both lean in, your eyes shut close, and you can feel her lips graze yours.
The moment was disrupted when Briars dorm room door was sung open and a familiar voice echoed across the walls. “Hey, Briar I was wondering if I could borrow notes from Chemythstry class.” Apple walks in, face directed downwards towards her MirrorPhone, oblivious to the state she had just caught her Sister and one of her best friends in.
Quickly you two break away from each other, startled at Apple’s sudden intrusion. “Apple! What are you doing here?” Briar questions nervously, “Isn’t it obvious? I wanted to borrow your—,” Apple begins but pauses when she notices your faces, she looks you over, you look scared almost?
She eyes Briar, nothing is out of the ordination until she notices, Briars bright pinkish lipstick was slightly smeared and her face was flushed. Apple’s eyes widen before she screams, “Are you two dating!?” While she looks between the two of you.
“What? No, of course not?”
“Yeah, Apple, us? Dating? You’re crazy!”
“Yeah I was — I was eating something and accidentally smeared my lipstick!”
Apple’s eyes become slant, “I never said anything about that! You two are dating!” You visibly gulp, “Apple, listen! Before you say anything just know we wanted to tell you—” You start before your sisters high pitched squealing interrupts. “This is hexcellent!”
Apple hurriedly makes run over and uses her arms to hug you both close. “My baby sister?! One of my best friends?! This is one of the happiest days of my life!” She lets you out of her grip, before clapping her hands together joyfully. “You…you’re not upset?” Quietly you glance at Apple’s face, “Why would I be?”
“Listen Sis, if I had known before the whole ordeal with Wonderland I probably would’ve screamed, even louder than I already have!” Apple laughs, while you and Briar share a look, “What is she talking about?” You both think simultaneously, Apple of course, notices.
“I know you probably expected me to scream something about "following your destinies!’” She rolls her eyes playfully, “But, a few people have shown me that, in order to get your Happily Ever After you don’t need to follow your destiny,” Apple smiles at Briar, “I’m happy for you!”
You jump up, hugging Apple close, evidently knocking her over though in the process from all the surprise weight on her. “Thank you!” Briar giggles in the back, watching the scene, the heartfelt moment warming her heart. “Alright that’s enough [Name]! You’re still my girlfriend!”
“But she’s my sister!” Apple retaliated, giving a slightly pointed look to Briar. When you finally let go, and sit back on your knees, Apple’s face lights up even brighter than it already was. “I have to tell Raven all about this!”
Apple tells you, before standing up to walk away. “What?!” You and Briar cry out in shock, but you’re too late as Apple has already walked out into the dorm hallway. “See! I told you something like this would happen.”
