yesss i love it!
it is 2am rn i should be asleep but i'm high on the buzz from reading literally everything you've written with her so i'm doing something i've never before and asking: Furina confession?
also, again, love the writing, tumblr one-shot writers truly make the world... something idk i need to sleep
I exist because content for the girls does not (or at least anything recent besides myself and others I can count on like one hand. On tumblr anyway, on AO3, BOY IS THAT A LOT OF SMUT)
Furina stood in the mirror, staring at herself and taking a deep breath.
Right now, she was in nothing more than a plain shirt and baggy pants since there was no home.
Her hair was also a bit disheveled, but appearances didn't matter right now!
Exhaling finally, Furina nodded to herself and recited her line.
(Furina) "(Y/N). I'm in love with you-!"
She elegantly gestured outwards with her hand, ready to go off on a mini-tangent, endlessly showering them with praise and dramatics...
...Until she sighed, shaking her head. Theatrics wouldn't do. This was something that deserved to come from her heart.
For the fat lot of good that was.
Furina slowly tapped her finger against the sink, eyes trailing down as her thoughts began to wander.
She had impersonated an Archon for centuries, performed in countless theater productions, faced the music of her people's judgement, and came out a new person, truly her own.
And yet, confessing to (Y/N) was up there in the most stressful of tasks.
They were one of the few people to treat Furina normally after the truth was revealed, and actively stuck around in her life after the fact much to her relief.
(Y/N) treated her as a friend, first and foremost, even when she was still under the guise of an Archon.
Any time spent with them caused her heart to race, and before she realized it, she fell head over heels for them.
And with the disaster looming over Fontaine averted, Furina could finally follow her heart.
And that terrified Furina to no end.
(Furina) "Ugh...! Focus! It shouldn't be that hard!"
Shaking her head again, she decided to leave the mirror and flop onto her bed, face first.
It wouldn't really help, but it'd at least just get her distracted. At least it would've, if she didn't hear a knock on her door.
Not bothering to check or remove her face from the mattress, a very muffled-
(Furina) "Who is it?"
Answered the knock.
(Y/N's Voice) "Furina. Are you okay? I can barely hear you!"
Furina quickly rolled onto her back and shot up straight like a bullet, eyes widening in surprise.
(Furina) "(Y/N)?! Oh, um! A moment, please! I'm not decent yet!"
She cursed her clothes that were still drying, rapidly darting left and right to see if any of her fancy dresses were ready!
Why was this happening now?! (Y/N) was supposed to meet up with her tomorrow!
(Y/N) "I just came by to drop off some food, I had leftovers and figured you would want some! I can leave if you-"
(Furina) "N-NO! Don't!"
After realizing that she said that a little too fast, she quickly cleared her throat and attempted to compose herself.
(Furina) "I wished to talk to you about something, actually!"
Realizing what she just said, she could hear her inner self screaming.
(Furina) WAITWAITWAIT! Maybe if I can say, later, I can have time to-
(Y/N) "May I come in now?"
(Furina) "Yes! You may-"
(Furina) WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU SAY YES?! (Also Furina) I DON'T KNOOOOOWWW!
(Y/N) entered the room, putting aside a picnic basket on her drawer, before turning to Furina with a smile.
(Y/N) "Hah, dress still in the dryer?"
(Furina) "Tch, unfortunately! Though, I was not expecting anyone to show up today either."
(Y/N) just smiled at that and sat on her bed, growing a little more serious.
(Y/N) "What did you wanna talk about?"
Furina's heart threatened to bust from her chest, but she did her best to calm it down and sat next to them, a respectable distance away as well.
Taking one last deep breath, she closed her eyes and turned to (Y/N), giving them a stare and speaking directly from her heart.
(Furina) "I bike you."
(Y/N) remained still, hands still in their lap, and a moment of silence passing between the two of them.
Furina clenched her fists, watching to see if (Y/N) would react in any negative way.
After what seemed like an eternity, (Y/N) finally gave their answer:
(Y/N) "...Bike?"
(Furina) "...Eh?"
(Y/N) "You bike me?"
(Furina) I MESSED UP?! NONONONOTHISCAN'TBEHAPPENINGHOWCOULDIHAVEFLUBBEDTHISUPSOBAD?!ICANNEVERFACETHEMAGAIN-
(Y/N) mercifully noticing her face turn bright red, only chuckled lightly before trying to help calm her down, by grabbing her hands and squeezing them.
It seemed to have worked as Furina was anchored back into the real world instead of her self-berating thoughts, (Y/N) smiling softly.
(Y/N) "Do you want to try that again?"
With how carefully Furina's hands were being held, she was confused.
Did they...Return her feelings?
The way they were smiling, the way their eyes seemed to glow with affection.
A small smidge of confidence coming back to her, she again steeled herself and spoke slowly.
(Furina) "I like you, (Y/N). You mean more to me than just a friend. You have been by my side for all these years, and have never stepped away, no matter what came. Will...you continue to do so?'
Not knowing her heart could beat even faster, she saw (Y/N) nod, moving closer to close the gap.
(Y/N) "I'd love nothing more, if you'd have me."
The corner of Furina's eyes were pricked with tears, Furina immediately going in for a hug, one that (Y/N) happily reciprocated.
After a far too brief dozen or so seconds, they pulled back and just smiled at each other. Until (Y/N) spoke.
(Y/N) "I came in while you were practicing to say that, didn't I?"
Furina stammered, quickly pouting while her blush gave her away.
(Furina) "I didn't need to practice! I just needed to speak from the heart is all!"
(Y/N) "So bike is how you really feel about me then, huh?"
(Furina) "D-DON'T TEASE ME!"
Furina squeaked when (Y/N) embraced her again, though after a defiant moment, she sighed and returned their affection, the two saying nothing and staying like that for a little while longer.
Even if it wasn't the way she intended, at least it ended happily.
...Maybe this was a better way to convey her feelings anyway.

A/N: I wasn't even gonna mention this last part, but my writer's integrity refuses to pass that bit off as original. Credit where credit is due, it's from an original Doujin called "The Show Must Go On!" by an artist named Chicken. I cannot link the source because it's AHEM, a spicy one, but nevertheless! I found it too cute to not utilize! And also because that absolutely seems something Furina would do.
