Hi! It took me forever but I finally wrote another fanfiction. It didnāt turn out quite the way I wanted it to sadly, but itās kinda cute anyway so Iām posting it. It was supposed to be either platonic or romantic, but it ended up sort of pre-relationship/romantic? I think? Takes place anywhere after the season 2 premiere. Enjoy! (Oh, and I realize my app references are from like 2011 and I took some liberties with explaining Bejeweled. Oops.)
Eve could have laughed at how focused Cassandra was.
The redhead had been staring at her phone all morning. It was a quiet day in the Annex for the two women as the boys were off on a simple retrieval. Eve had been doing paperwork, but Cassandraās attention was on the screen. Ezekiel had introduced her to the Bejeweled app the previous day, and now Cassandra was hooked.
Eve realized sheād been staring at Cassandra. Not that Cassandra would have noticedā this was a particularly frustrating level. After her fourth attempt, she was down to her last virtual life. She let out a groan.
āWhat?ā Eve chuckled.
āThis game is stupid.ā Cassandra frowned and set her phone down for the first time all day.
Eve finally did laugh. āYou think so? Really? It should be a piece of cake.ā
Cassandra looked thoughtful for a moment. āI donāt even enjoy it that much.ā
āThen why do you play?ā
The Librarian looked sheepish. āThe colorsā¦ā
āWhat about them?ā Eve was intrigued.
āI like the colors. Sort of. I guess⦠Itās just that the diamond is clear, right? Not for me, usually. The geometric shape for diamond is always blue. Even though the mineral diamond is clear. And in the game, the color is right for tigerās eye, but not the cut. Squares should be red, tigerās eye should be a rectangular prism.ā
Eve was confused. āIf it bothers you, then whyāā
āItās forcing me to think a different way. And I donāt know, maybe itās confusing me more than anything, but thereās something great in being overwhelmed by these shapes and these colors but then beating the level anyway. Like Iāmā¦ā Cassandra sighed. āItās the same satisfying feeling like when I had my first solo artifact retrieval. Not just winning for the sake of winning, but⦠learning, too.ā Cassandraās brow had become furrowed as she talked. āI just like that Iām thinking differently. Thatās all.ā She pushed her phone further away from her. āItās fine, you probably donāt understand.ā
Eve stood and walked over to where Cassandra sat at the long table. She put her arm around the redheadās shoulders and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. āI understand. And Iām proud of you.ā Cassandra smiled up at her. āNow come on, letās take a break. We should get some fresh air. Coffee?ā
Cassandra beamed. āThereās a new shop that opened last weekend, itās a little further than our usual spot but Iāve been dying to try it out!ā
āSounds perfect.ā Eve smiled warmly as Cassandra jumped up to collect her coat.
Maybe later sheād introduce Cassandra to Temple Runā¦
