Love

Emerald's voice rings in Cinder's head and repeats over and over again. "Emerald loves you and you will realize you love her back. You want to ask her to be your lover."

"I... love Emerald." Cinder whispers through the trance. Emerald feels a rush of joy hearing her say that even if it's while she's entranced. Emerald adds that she will never realize she has been hypnotizes and lets the hypnotic suggestion set in so it'll remain when she's out of the trance.

The hallucinations fade and Cinder forgets it ever happened. She sees Emerald and now can't help but admire her. Her beautiful dark skin, the contrasting dark red eyes and mint-green hair. Even the Haven student uniform they have to wear for their disguises hugs her thin waist showing it off. She gets the urge to wrap her arms around it and hold her close, imagining their ample chests rubbing against one another. She thinks about how much Emerald care about her and how she was always doing things that she took for granted.

"Hey Em, how was your night off?" She says in a much warmer tone since normally she would truly not care about Emerald's whereabouts.

The two sit on Emerald's bed as she tells her how the heist went. Cinder pays attention and even compliments her dual takedown. Emerald has not been this happy in a long time, finally feeling closer to Cinder than ever before.

"Your skills are truly extraordinary Emerald. I'm lucky to have you." Cinder says as she lays her hand just below Emerald's skirt on her exposed thigh making Em blush. She looks Cinder in her amber eyes and she can't hold herself back anymore. Emerald leans in and kisses Cinder on the lips. Cinder eagerly returns the affection as they make out and to her delight Emerald's mouth is indeed mint flavored.
