OUAT - Evil queen/Red + Regina/Ruby - New Skins (2/2)
“You have to remember. Remember. Everything we have done and every word i have ever said to you. Remember you. Remember your name, and mine, and this place. Store it inside of you, bury it, and when it is time, remember that we once loved each other. Remember that you were once mine.”
Red nodded and cautiously leaned forward, pressing her face to the queen’s dark hair and they slowly wrapped their arms around one another.
“How could I forget, your majesty?”
She did not realise this made the queen cry again.
The queen stared at her. She looked the same. Always the same, just like everyone did in this town. In this strange way, they could in fact be together forever - like flies caught in amber, never growing old or changing. She tried to hold onto this, every time Red’s - no, Ruby now, - Ruby’s eyes, slid across her without the slightest bit of real recognition or concern - but it didn’t really help. She still longed for the day when Ruby would become Red again, her real and true self.
“Here you go Mayor.”
Every time Regina took a coffee cup from Ruby’s hand, she let their fingers brush. The new girl never seemed to notice, but Regina would keep trying. Perhaps one day, their fingers would meet and it would feel the same for both of them, and Ruby would remember, and come back.
How pathetic of her to wish upon stars. How pathetic and cruel to herself. And oh how much she wanted it her red girl back.
