Ship: Janis/Regina (Mean Girls)
Words: 244
Summary: She finally knows how she feels.

Here, lying in this dark room next to Janis.

And Regina knows.

She knows she loves her. Maybe she always has and was too blinding to see it. Internalized homophobia was a hell of a drug. Still Regina can’t help but grab at these feelings, finally letting herself hold them in her hands.

With Janis a few inches away from her, it almost doesn’t feel real.

I love her, Regina thinks to herself. She feels giddy. Her heart drums along in her chest and she brings her clasped hands up to feel it. Is this what it’s supposed to feel like? So warm, excited but at the same time utterly calm.

But it also scares her to death. Janis would flip out if she knew. They both did horrible things to one another. What they have now is balanced on the tip of a needle that could topple at any sudden movement.

Regina wants to hold onto these feelings. These feelings are her’s. They finally feel real, like they belong to her.

While her fingers long to be intertwined with Janis’s, and her body wants to pull Janis close and never let go, she knows it can't happen.

This wonderful feeling that suddenly makes sense and feels real. For now, they belong to her and only to her.

Maybe one day, if she's very lucky, they’ll belong to Janis too.

Regina lets that last thought float in her mind before sleep finally takes her.
