It had been a long day. The Nevers had done their tests, now the Dean had to mark them. She was already tired after Sophie annoyed her all day. The girl had been sent to the doom room, now her torturer had gone missing! She dropped her pen, it clattered onto the wooden desk, a single lamp illuminated the darkness of her shared office. Dovey had left as she finished a while ago. The dean of evil leaned back in her chair. She was drained (but would never admit it). She pushed her chair back and took her cane before leaving the office. The dark hallway greeted her with a blast of cold air. She made her way to the stairs and quickly descended them. The guards said nothing as she passed them but stood straighter "keep the students inside tonight." She mumbled, the guards shared a confused look before nodding. Lady Lesso crossed the bridge, the air attacked her body and she felt the small heat her office offered her leave. She kept walking to the castle across from hers. She opened the doors and walked down the halls. Usually, they were bright and buzzing with ever princes and princess's but at this time of night the halls were deserted, the lights put out to ensure the students of future good can rest well. She went up several floors, students were asleep as well as most teachers. She got to the floor she wanted and walked the halls. The fairies flew over and tried to push her back but she just swatted them away and walked past the group. She knocked on the doors, white doors with vines painted on the frame, moving around to form an arch with golden handles. They opened revealing the dean for good. She sat at her desk, grading papers. She looked up for a second before her eyes turned back to the papers in front of her. "Hello, lesso. What's your reason for appearing so late?" She asked, Lady Lesso entered and just sat next to, Dovey on the chair beside her. Dovey ignored her presence and continued grading. In silence. Her evil counterpart kept tapping her hand or shoulder. "Stop it, lesso!" She said, annoyed. She stopped seeing her friend fully. Her posture was slouched slightly and her hair was a mess. Her tie, with was usually dead straight was now hanging off-centre and her sleeves were at different lengths. "What happened?" She asked only to get no verbal response. Lesso just held her hands out. Dovey sighed before letting the dean rest against her. "Long day?" She asked softly. Lesso nodded as her head nuzzled into the dean for goods. Dovey looked at the clock, she'd been here longer than she meant to. Lesso noticed and mumbled something then tried to move. Suddenlt tje fairies flew inside. They started to squeak rapidly "shh!" They stopped immediately, now taking the scene in..they smiled and suddenlt they were in Doveys room on her sofa. The fairies flew out. Dovey smiled at the dean, now layed on her, her head nuzzled into the crook of her neck, her jacket on the chair, hanging off the back, her cane layed against the same chair. She took her hair down and closed her eyes, the day's activities taken their toll. She looked back down and smiled at the woman against her. It was rare to see even a slight piece of softness from the dean, choosing to find someone never happened, let alone for cuddling, it never happened, she felt honoured that she felt safe enough. She started to play with the woman's hair. She heard the dean sigh contently and felt her relax. After a few minutes, she heard her breathing slow down, indicating she had fallen asleep. Dovey let her head rest on the armrest behind her. She felt the day's exhaustion overtake her. She didn't fight as she fell asleep.
The deans didn't show for breakfast. People whispered about what could've happened "maybe they god lost in the woods!" "No! They must've had a fight! With a dragon!" Anemone sighed as she heard the stories grow more and absurd. She left the hall in search for the two deans. She was ready to snap at them. The other teachers hurried to help her. After searching for a minute or two they got to Doveys room. "CLAR-" Anemone put her hand over Castors mouth. He stepped back "WHAT WAS-" They saw the deans, Lesso was layed ontop of Dovey, her shirt ruffled slightly as her arm draped over the side of the seat, her head layed atop Doveys chest. Dovey had her head turned to the side as her right arm held onto lesso, the other off the side, holding the dean for evil's hand. "Aaaaw." Princess Uma smiled. "Got the camera?" Anemone took a picture before closing the door
~Bonus Scene~
"So you both cuddle?" The deans shot their heads up "no! Why would I even touch an ever?" "That's repulsive!" "I agree." "Why would you assume-" Anemone held the picture up. "Give me that. Now." She ran out. "HEY-" "She won't use it. Let her be"
