Meeting and Dating Carrie White

(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)

(God, she’s beautiful)

- You yourself struggle to recall the exact first time you met Carrie but the shy blonde remembers the interaction in vivid detail.

- The two of you were young, living in the same area of town: a factor which would normally result in the two of you becoming close friends. But the two of you barely saw each other; something her mother made sure of, and even when you did, you were barely able to greet each other, let alone play together.

- It all started with a wave. You were passing her house for one reason or another when you noticed some movement out of the corner of your eye.

- Upon looking, there she was, standing at her bedroom window, half hidden by the long, heavy curtains. Without giving it a second thought, you smiled, waved and kept walking.

- It was an overall forgettable interaction …well it was for someone like you. For someone like Carrie, a girl who was locked up in her home most of the time, forbidden from making friends and talking to most people, …it was the greatest thing to happen to her in a long time.

- Then school came around and the two of you found yourselves in the same class with the same walk home. Without her mother’s interference, the two of you were finally able to talk and play together, becoming friends while the rest of the class teased her.

- But there’s only so long that people can remain friends when they can’t see each other out of school and their mothers don’t want them to; not to mention how easily childhood friendships end.

- By the time elementary school is ending, your momentary friendship is fading into the background of your mind. But not hers, she never really forgets about you.

- For a while after the two of you part ways, she still imagines the two of you as friends: picturing how you’d stick up for her, the times you’d sit and talk and play, how much better her life would be if you were still in the same class and sitting together on the playground and allowed to walk together after school.

- Then high school comes around. You see her in the hallway and remember your old childhood friendship, feeling a little nostalgic once you do.

- So, one day as you’re walking in the halls and see someone bump into her, knocking her books to the floor, you decide to talk to her again. You bend down and pick up her books, greeting her and introducing yourself as you mention that you used to be friends.

- She’s obviously a bit shy and seemingly not interested in conversation so you just give her a little smile and say you’ll see her around before you walk off; leaving her to stare after you in awe as she clutches her books to her chest.

- After that, the two of you slowly start to develop a friendship of sorts. You aren’t close by any means, at least not for a while, but you stick up for her and do your best to be friendly and comfort her when you come across her looking upset.

- It’s that little bit of kindness that makes her fall for you and with no one else to turn to, it’s you that she confides in about those feelings. She keeps it vague, tells you that she thinks she’s beginning to like a girl the same way she used to like boys and you tell her that it’s perfectly normal, though it’s best for her not to tell anyone because most people don’t understand; especially not people like her mother.

- After she seems to have calmed down, you give her a smile and nudge her shoulder, asking her who she likes and teasing her a little as she bashfully hides her face with her hair.

- Carrie actually confesses her feelings for you a few months later. The two of you are alone together, having one of your rare out of school hangouts, when she asks why you’re always so nice to her and why you wanted to be her friend again. You tell her that it’s because you like her and she goes quiet for a few moments before she gathers up the courage to say “it was you”.

- Confused, you ask what she’s talking about and she bites her lip nervously, indecisively looking around as though she’s debating whether or not she should clarify. Thankfully she does.

“You remember when I told you that I was startin’ to like a girl like how most girls like boys? …well, it was you. I liked-like you …a lot. But it’s okay if you don’t like me, you don’t gotta worry about it. I just thought I’d tell you because I just think it’s more fair that way.”

- You aren’t really surprised. Carrie isn’t exactly subtle about her adoration towards people; though you’d previously written off her odd little quirks as behavior she’d developed because of her usual lack of friends. She looked at you like you hung the moon but you’d merely thought it was because you were one of the only persons who were ever really nice to her.

- When you spoke, you asked if she’d like to go out and the amount her eyes widened had you worried they were gonna fall out of her head. She struggled to speak for nearly a minute before she clamped her mouth shut and nodded her head, the corners of her mouth tilting up as you gave her a warm smile.

- For your first date, the two of you go to a soda shop and just enjoy each others company. It was an incredibly casual date; mainly because you didn’t want to make her too nervous or give people a reason to suspect anything, but she was still nervous as all hell before you picked her up. She kept checking herself in the mirror and shaking like a leaf; even though she knew that it was just you.

- The two of you wait a pretty long time to have your first kiss. You don’t want to rush her; especially since you’re her first real partner, so you let her get comfortable with everything else first. Funnily enough, it’s her who ends up making the first move; although she doesn’t have the nerve to finish the move.

- You’re doing her makeup which obviously requires you to be pretty close to her face. She’s watching you the entire time and once you’re finished applying her eye makeup, she tilts her face up and almost presses her lips to yours before she pulls away and apologizes.

- You tell her that she doesn’t have to be sorry and to prove your point, you tilt her face up and press your lips to hers in a soft kiss. When you pull away, you look into her eyes, checking if she’s alright before she leans in again and the two of you share another kiss.

- It was in that moment that Carrie decided she didn’t care if she burnt in hell, as long as she could feel as she did right then in that moment forever: like she was floating in the clouds of heaven.

- There’s not a ton of pda in your relationship, mainly because you don’t want to get yourselves into any trouble; knowing how your peers would latch onto anything they could bully her for or how her mother would react to anything even remotely homosexual.

- The two of you stick to affection that can appear purely platonic; especially when it’s between two girls in the 1970s. Although, the way she looks at you would probably have a few people talking.

- Interlocked arms or the occasional handhold.

- Hugs. If there’s anyone in the world that deserves them, its Carrie.

- Brushing her hair behind her ears. She tends to hide behind her hair a lot of the time and it breaks your heart to see her do it so you do your best to always let her know that you think she’s beautiful and want to see her face.

- Cheek kisses.

- Soft, sweet kisses. No matter how long you’ve been together and how much you’ve kissed before, she still gets a little shy after the two of you pull away.

- She’ll usually just call you by your given name but you’ll occasionally get a “honey” or a “petal”; or something equally sweet but strange.

- Considering how little time the two of you can spend together in a safe, private setting, cuddling isn’t a huge thing in your relationship. She loves it and carefully maneuvers herself into your arms whenever she can but these instances are few and far between for obvious reasons. When you do cuddle, she tends to either lay on your chest or let you be the big spoon; she’s tiny so those are the easiest.

- Carrie is ridiculously in love with you. She’s one of the most adoring and devoted girlfriends you could ever hope for. She’s so proud of everything you do and could listen to you talk for hours. Your mere existence gives her life purpose.

- Everything you give her is cherished; she has so many keepsakes from your relationship. A ticket stub from a movie date is kept in a journal, flowers you’ve given her are pressed in books, a ribbon you used to tie her hair up is used as a book mark, etc.

- Giving each other tons of compliments.

- Occasionally teasing her (affectionately) just to see her smile and get adorably bashful. The slightest thing can make her blush and want to hide her face so it isn’t like you have to do anything too drastic.

- Doing her makeup. She’ll have to wipe it all off before she gets home but it’s worth the effort just to see the way she stares at herself in the mirror after you finish, in awe of what you’ve done to her.

- Lending her clothes and playing dress up when she comes over. You’ll also go to different shops and try on clothes you know you’ll probably never buy. She’s used to wearing whatever frumpy thing her mother sews for her so it’s nice to see her wear things she thinks are pretty.

- Her making you clothes. She made her own prom dress so she’s obviously a pretty good seamstress and you live in a small town so not a lot of stores carry a ton of new and exciting fashion. She’d like being able to give you gifts and see you wear them.

- Making flower crowns and picking wildflowers while having little picnics and hangouts in meadows or flowery clearings.

- Persuading her to do things you know she’ll enjoy but is too shy to try.

- Library dates.

- Walking home from school together.

- Tv dates. Her mother doesn’t really let her watch anything on the television; besides maybe Christian shows or church broadcasts, so she loves to come over and see weekly reruns or the newest installments of different soap operas. She’d also love having you explain the plot of new episodes to her when she can’t make it over.

- Aimlessly wandering around town together, visiting random shops or just walking around.

- Going to sodashops, ice cream parlors and other small little restaurants.

- Putting on records and dancing around in your room.

- Having tea together. You’ll sometimes come over after school when she knows her mother won’t be home and she’ll put the kettle on the stove and you’ll sit at her dining room table and talk.

- Coloring and doing arts and crafts together.

- I’m sorry but I’m just imagining Carrie going to a Ren faire and having this magical sort of experience where she’s dressed up all pretty and having fun and getting treated nicely by people who compliment her and relishing in the fantasy that her mother called demonic witchcraft all her life. She deserves to be a nice little fairy/elf and make magic loving friends.

- Giving her little gifts. Her mother doesn’t let her enjoy anything so you make it your mission to indulge her every now and again. Buying her that teddy bear she’s always looking at, giving her a bracelet of yours or a book with your annotations in it; they’re in good hands so you don’t have to worry.

- Love letters or notes with short, sweet little messages on them. She loves giving you them and knowing that you can read them later and smile. She also likes writing down a bunch of the things she wanted to tell you about but didn’t have the time to that day; sort of like a pen pal that lives down the street.

- Her constantly apologizing for things that she really shouldn’t feel the need to apologize for, and then apologizing for apologizing so much.

- Having to be careful when you’re in the public eye. You sort of have to be on edge: carefully choosing where you go together, what you tell people, what kind of affection you engage in, etc. It’s just until you have the ability to move out of the town and away from her mother so it’s all pretty temporary.

- Maybe having a very tense dinner with her and her mother at some point. She coaches you on how to behave and what to wear and talk about before you come over so you know exactly how to potentially impress the woman; or at least have her not immediately hate you.

- If your families normal and loving then you probably borderline adopt her; in the sense that she comes with you guys on family outings whenever she can. She’s incredibly polite and sweet; and everyone in town knows how her mother is, so it’s no surprise that your parents love her.

- Helping her with her powers and trying to learn more about them. She probably doesn’t mention them for a long time; too afraid that she’ll scare you off, but once she does, a huge weight is lifted off her shoulders and she immediately goes to you whenever something happens.

- Letting her come to you whenever she has any questions. You’re always patient with her, knowing that her mother probably never explained any of it to her; even though some of the stuff she asks about is stuff you usually learn when you’re young.

- Being there for her whenever she needs you to be.

- Patching and cleaning her up after her mother and classmates abuse her.

- Standing up for her.

- Regardless of whether you’re Christian or not, she probably will and has said that she’ll pray for you whenever you tell her about some difficult thing you’re going through. It was just how she was raised and it’s a hard habit to kick, just know that she’s saying it out of love and that she still respects your beliefs as well.

- There’s really no reason for you to be jealous and that’s obvious from the start. As for her, she may get a little jealous from time to time but she trusts you, you just have to explain that you’re only friends and introduce her so she can have some peace of mind.

- You’re the best thing to ever happen to her and she doesn’t know what she’d do if something were to happen to you so she’s pretty protective of you. You’re usually the one protecting her but every now and again she’ll use her powers to make sure someone who’s bothering you gets what they deserve; whether intentionally or not.

- Carrie really can’t argue for the life of her so it’s a good thing the two of you usually don’t have a reason to. When you do have an issue, you bring it up calmly and try to be understanding, knowing that she’s oftentimes too nervous to stand up for herself because of her mother.

- When she has an issue, she may freak out from time to time but she won’t necessarily lash out at you, she’ll just get emotional and have a bit of an episode; one you’ll have to calm her down from and try to navigate. If she’s really upset, she may use her powers to force the door closed so that you can’t leave or accidentally break something but you don’t need to be afraid. Just be patient and know that she’ll get better the longer she’s around healthy relationships.

- The both of you resolve things pretty quickly and give genuine apologies. Even if a fight is technically your fault, she’ll still apologize too and say things like “I know, but I could have handled it better”.

- It’s easy for her to say that she loves you because she knows she really means it and she’s used to saying it all the time with her mother; even though the woman doesn’t deserve it. She adores hearing it back so please tell her you love you whenever you can.

- The two of you have probably talked about leaving town a lot and while the idea makes her nervous, she is looking forward to starting a new life with you where people don’t know who she is.
