And then there’s an explosion inside Ivy’s mind, a loud thunderclap and a burst of warmth that makes her legs tremble. She squeezes her eyes shut against it, hears Harley yelp and feels her fingernails digging into Ivy’s shoulders.
Even when the noise subsides, they’re still clinging to each, dizzy and disorientated.
This time when Ivy opens her eyes, it’s blue eyes staring back at her, Harley’s eyes, and there’s a familiar pull in Ivy’s blood, the scent of plants and life in the air and their strength coiling within her.
She’s back in her own body, and Harley is back in hers.
They stare at each other for a long moment, and then Harley throws her head back and begins to cackle manically. “Holy crap!” she shrieks, wavering slightly on the spot because she’s laughing so hard. “We were cured by true love’s kiss!”
Ivy can’t resist the urge to roll her eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous, Harl-”
And then her mind actually registers Harley’s words.
For the first time in as long as she can remember, Ivy actually blushes.
Harley’s laughter turns into a knowing chuckle and a sly smile. “Sooo,” she coos, pressing closer so they’re chest to chest, her words a warm puff of air against Ivy’s lips. “You know what you were saying about how nobody knows your body better than you?”
Ivy nods slowly, and there’s an answering smirk forming on her lips.
“Well, I think I’d like to prove that wrong,” Harley purrs, fingers slipping over Ivy’s waist to grip at her hips.
“That might take a lot of practice.”
Harley smiles, lips brushing Ivy’s cheek. “That’s okay, we have the time,” she whispers. “After true love’s kiss comes happily ever after. And those are forever, you know.”
