Revenge

Pairing : Charles Leclerc x reader

Theme : Angst

I needed something that would break my heart and shred it to pieces so I came up with this.

“Charles?”

“Yes, chérie.” He had fallen asleep face down on the couch as soon as he came home. The meeting with the team was supposed to take 2-3 hours but it ended up taking half a day so he had to rush home because he had another interview next morning. You felt so bad waking him up but your period had came early and you ran out of heating pad and tampons.

“Can you head to the store—“

“Can’t it wait?” You could clearly see he was annoyed and your words became a murmur. “I just came back not even for 30 minutes.”

“I know, but…”

“I’ll get whatever you need tomorrow, chérie. Let me sleep. Please.”

So you let him be.

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

You couldn’t sleep that night. Your period cramp was getting worse and you desperately needed a heating pad, a painkiller, and anything that would help to soothe the pain. Your head was throbbing, you felt nauseous, laying down felt wrong, standing up made it worse. You tried to wake up your boyfriend but again, before you could say anything, he had left the room and locked himself in the guest room so you won’t be able to disturb his sleep. And you decided to take matters into your own hands.

You changed into an oversized sweatshirts and short yoga pants then walked out of the apartment. You couldn’t drive and it was better to have to walk for 25 minutes than to crash into someone else’s car.

You had always loved an evening stroll around the city but you would always feel anxious if your boyfriend wasn’t with you. Which was why you couldn’t go by yourself in the first place.

The walk was a pleasant one. Much to your surprise. You saw a group of people who had just finished their night shifts, a number of tourists taking pictures, and just full of humans being humans. You had reached the store in no time and got yourself some pain-relievers and a new heating pad.

“Thank you! You are Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend, aren’t you?” The old man asked as he put the items into a plastic bag.

“Ah, yes.” You were surprised as you didn’t really get this kind of question a lot.

“I knew it. I have seen you guys together a few times. Such a beautiful couple.” He handed you the plastic bag.

“Ah, thank you. I’ll get going first. Have a pleasant night, sir.” You took the items from his hand and started making your way back, trailing the steps you took all the way home.

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

“Move away!”

Things would have ended in a perfect way if it wasn’t for a random man who came from the upper side of the road. He didn’t get to hit on the break before crashing on you. You saw him coming your way but before you could moved away, he and his bike had already fallen on top of you. The pedal from the bicycle was still gliding as it crashed on you, causing the sharp bit to cut the skin on your knee. The hit sent you to fall on your back and you were trying to stop the fall but the crash was too hard that you could feel a huge pressure on your wrist as it landed on the pavement. The bicycle handle then hit on your forehead as it fell so now you had a bruise on your forehead and a cut on the side of your lips from the sudden punch from the man as he tried to stop himself from falling on his face.

“I’m so so sorry. I’m really sorry, miss.” The guy started scrambling to stand up and offered a hand to pull you up to a stance.

“Ow..” You immediately retracted your right hand when you felt the jolt of pain as he pulled on it.

“Oh, no I think you might have sprained your wrist. Give me your other hand. I’m so sorry my brake wasn’t working I really thought I could turn away before crashing on you.” He pulled you on your left hand which made you stand on both of your feet now. “You are bleeding. There’s a clinic nearby, I’ll take you there.”

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

Charles were woken up when his throat was dry and he was parched. It was when he turned his body to the side was when he recalled that he had left you because you woke him up a while ago. Guilt started to fill up his heart as he stood up and left the guest room. He was expecting to see you on the bed but he was greeted with an empty one.

“Shit…” He whispered and ran to get his phone to call you. Much to his dismay, the call went straight to your voicemail. “Fuck! Where are you, Y/N.”

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

“Oh, my. What happened to you, pretty girl.” The old man from the store earlier was surprised when you walked back into the store now looking like you were beaten up for the past 20 minutes.

“I’m so sorry for bugging you, sir. Can I borrow your phone? I need to call my boyfriend.” You had walked back into the store with the man who crashed into you, Lucas was the name as he went to buy a drinking water for you and waited outside as you made your call.

“Hello?” You heard your boyfriend’s voice through the phone. It was a relief he would picked up a call from a random number.

“Charles..” You tried to speak without crying but failed as your eyes started tearing up even before you could explain to him.

“Y/N? Where are you?” You could hear him getting restless.

“I am at the store down the street. Can you come and get me?”

“Stay. I’ll be there in 5.”

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

Charles was staggered when he saw you full of cuts and bruises. Your sweatshirts had some bloodstain on it and you were still sobbing.

When he took you home, he didn’t say anything but you knew he was mad because he kept on biting the inside of his cheeks and he only did that when he was furious.

“What was that for, Y/N?” He slammed the door as you walked in.

“I was just trying to…” You sniffed softly and wiped your wet cheeks with your sleeves, unable to look at him in the eyes.

“You were trying to what? Playing games with me? Or is this some kind of revenge because I didn’t want to go to the store to get your what? Chocolate? You couldn’t even fucking wait until tomorrow?” You took a step back when he kept on raising his voice, your hand that was holding the plastic bag was shaking within every sob.

“I’m sorry…” You sniffled again, eyes still looking on the floor.

“Or was it your plan though? To embarrass me like that in front of everyone? To show everyone how bad of a boyfriend I am?” He stepped closer and for the first time, you were scared of him.

“What happened to your phone?”

“It ran out of battery..” You mumbled.

“Great. Now you are telling me it was a coincidence? That you just fucking left the house with a dead phone? It wasn’t because you tried to make it harder for me to find you? He threw his car key away to which you flinched.

“I can’t believe you would go that far just because you couldn’t get what you want. You are fucking spoil.” Charles was dazed by his own words. He didn’t know what had gotten into him but he was so tired and he expected you to understand him instead of pulling a show at 3AM. But he didn’t thought he would blow up to this extend. He regretted saying every words he had thrown to you but when he thought back about those looks he got from the strangers when he went to pick you up, he was demented with anger again thinking that you were secretly smiling at how successful your plan were to get back at him.

You looked up to him in shock at his words, your tears are now flowing non stop you didn’t even bother to wipe them off. “I…” Charles cut you off before you could say anything.

“Just go and change your clothes, Y/N. We are done here. Go!” He yelled out and you scurried to the bathroom to wash your face, leaving the plastic bag on the dining table.

When you stepped out of the bathroom, you saw Charles on the bed. He had his arm covering his eyes. He wasn’t asleep yet because you could still see how tense he was so you tried to take your change of clothes in silent before quickly head out of the room.

Charles thought you would have climbed on the side of the bed to sleep. But he didn’t think you would leave the room. First thing that came to his mind was the guest room. He thought you were so upset with him that you chose to sleep in the guest room. He couldn‘t understand why you were upset now. Obviously he was the one who should be mad. He wasn’t the one who went to that extend to play revenge. You started it first.

But he didn’t hear the door close. You could never sleep with the door open. Charles only heard the soft sound of a coffee mug hitting the other glasses. It was so soft and slow, as if you were trying to hide the sound from him.

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

It was hard to do things with one hand. The doctor had to wrap your wrist with a bandage because the sprain was really bad. You couldn’t even use your right hand. Even taking yourself a glass of water was a difficult task but you needed to take the pain-reliever pill or you won’t be able to sleep. Your head was still hurting. Every part of your body was in pain but it wasn‘t as much as the pain of your heart. You were still crying, sobbing, but you tried to hide every sniffle in case Charles would yell at you again.

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

Charles saw the way you were struggling to take out the pill, some sort of medicine with one hand and he could feel his heart clenching in pain. Why would you go this far just because he couldn’t go to the store. Why would you even hurt yourself just to make him feel bad. He was upset that you could do this to yourself just to wreak vengeance on him. He watched you struggled to drink from the mug and still chose to wash it off as you cleaned the table and even put his car key away, the key that he thrown away in anger earlier. He saw you struggled to walk, trying not to put much weight on the leg with the cut and hurried back to the room before you could see him.

﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎﹎

Charles walked back out when he heard you finally closed the door to the guest room and went back to the kitchen to check on the medicine that he saw you took earlier. Soon as he saw what was inside the plastic bag, he felt like there was a tons of rock being thrown on him at one time. It was a pain-reliever for a period cramp and an opened box of a heating pad. You didn’t go to the store just to play revenge on him, it wasn’t for a game. You went to get these things. He knew you always had a bad cramp and a migraine on your period but it wasn’t supposed to come until another 2 weeks. He had it saved in his calendar every month. You had asked him to go to the store earlier to get you these things because you couldn’t sleep, and it wasn’t for chocolate. He couldn’t believe what just happened. He had just yelled at his girlfriend who was in pain. He didn’t give you any space to explain anything. Now he knew why you weren’t saying anything else and just accepted everything that he said. You just wanted him to stop yelling so you could sleep the pain away. He would prefer you to shout at him back, curse at him, hit him, punch him, whatever it was. Perhaps that way it wouldn’t hurt him this much when he knew the truth.

He was a fucking asshole.

He had messed things up very bad and there was no way he could fix this up but he needed to. He couldn’t lose you.

PR Relationship

Relationship: Scarlett x Singer Reader

Summary: Y/n and Scarlett are in love with each other and have a secret relationship that only a select few know about. Things change when Y/n finds out that Scarlett may have her eyes on someone else.

(I do not own the rights to the lyrics, I just think this sounds fits the story perfectly. It’s Secret Love Song by Little Mix.)

Y/N’s POV:

For the last 3 months, I have been dating the beautiful Scarlett Johansson. However, as she hasn’t come out yet, it was a complete secret with only Lizzie Olsen knowing the truth. At first it didn’t bother me at all. It was exciting. The sneaking around was fun and trying to sneak dates and kisses without being caught was exhilarating. But the last couple of weeks have started to get tiring. If ever I stay over, she’s kicking me out at like 5am so I don’t get caught by the paps, we never travel anywhere together and I’ve lost count of the amount of times she’s totally changed her demeanour around me because someone has walked by us.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that Scarlett is scared of coming out. I’ve already done that and it wasn’t easy. I would never push her to do anything she’s uncomfortable with. But it’s starting to hurt, it feels more like she’s hiding me rather than protecting herself. Thing is, I love her and I’m willing to wait for her. Which is the problem, I’m scared this might break me.

So here I am, 4:30 in the morning tiptoeing around her bedroom getting ready to sneak out. I don’t want to wake her, she’s been so busy at work she deserves a good rest. I throw on some sweatpants and a hoody whilst picking up my underwear from the floor after last night’s activities. I leave a gentle kiss on Scarlett’s forehead before slipping out of the house, unheard, into the early morning.

As I’m sat in my car I can feel the exhaustion seeping through my body. I had been spending most nights at Scar’s which meant I was only getting a few hours sleep and it was starting to catch up with me. I’ve got to be at the studio at 8am so I decide there is no point in heading home. Instead I make my way to the beach to watch the sunrise and go for a swim. There’s no better way to start my day. Well other than getting to sleep in my girlfriends arms past 5!

I get to the studio early and I start having all of these thoughts in my head which I start to collate and write down. Lyrics forming as I write. I’ve not felt this inspired for a long time

We keep behind closed doors

Every time I see you, I die a little more

Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls

It'll never be enough

It’s not until I start to pull the lyrics together that I realise how much this whole situation is hurting me. By the end of the day it’s all starting to come together, the quickest that I have ever written a song. My team love it and are already planning for me to sing it on Jimmy Kimmel. I push back though. It’s not fair to Scarlett to hear about my feelings through an interview. But writing the song has helped, I’m feeling better already.

As I get into the car I check my phone. I’ve not spoken with Scarlett all day. That’s not unusual as for us though. But a smile forms on my face when I see a message from her.

Scarlett:

Hey Babe, thanks for this morning. I really needed that sleep. I know you’re in the studio all day so can’t talk. I’m working late but perhaps you could come over tomorrow? Love you xx

Me:

Hey Scar, no problem, you need your sleep! Tomorrow would be great. Love you too xx

The next evening I’m sat on the sofa in Scarlett’s living room her legs draped over mine as we watch TV. She has her laptop resting on her legs finishing up the last bit of work before she’s done for the day. I’m just sat scrolling through my phone when I seeing articles popping up about Scarlett and her new partner. We’d been so careful to not been seen together in more than a friendly capacity. In fact, by the way we act in public you wouldn’t think we were that close as friends.

But then my heart stops, the articles aren’t referring to me but Chris Evans. What the fuck?! I can feel my heart beating faster like it’s going to beat out of my chest. Then I click on one article, “Co-Stars Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans spotting kissing on a dinner date.” A photo accompanying it. That was yesterday! I sit up with a jolt feeling like I was going to be sick. My God she’s cheating on me and she’s not even trying to hide it!

“Hey what’s wrong Babe, you look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Scarlett says concerned looking over her laptop to me. I try to speak but I can’t form words. I can see her starting to get worried as she puts her laptop down on the table and goes to put her arm on my back. I’m quick to pull away and just throw my phone in her direction. She looks at the screen and her eyes grow wide.

“Y/N this isn’t what it looks like, I swear. Please..” Running my hands through my hair I stand up not even able to sit next to her. “I mean it looks like you’ve got your tongue down Evans’ throat. Not sure what else it could look like Scarlett!” I say coldly trying so hard not to yell. “Is this why you hid me? Not wanting anyone to know. Am I the dirty little secret to keep until you have Evans?” Pacing round the room I can feel my chest get tighter and my breathing becoming erratic.

“NO! I’m not cheating on you Y/N, I love you!” “THEN WHAT IS THIS!” So much for not shouting. I can feel my heart breaking in two. “Please just let me explain. With the new Avengers movie coming out our teams thought it would be good PR if we got some rumours going about being in a relationship. We had lunch and dinner dates here and there making sure to look like a couple for the paparazzi. I promise you Y/N there is nothing going on.”

I immediately stop my pacing, turning to her in disbelief. “So you can’t tell anyone about me, but you’re happy to go along with a fake relationship for you movie. Great, good to know where I sit in your priorities. Did you even consider telling me, it’s weird but I would have understood? Instead I find out by finding a picture of you kissing!” I can’t stop the tears anymore, but I won’t let her see me sob.

“Y/N please…” Scarlett grabs my hands trying to get me to look at her. “I-I can’t do this anymore.” I whisper pulling my hands away. “Wait, what do you mean? Y/N?” she says in a scared tone. “I’ve spent the last 3 months doing everything you ever asked. I never pushed for you to do anything you were uncomfortable with, even if it was at a detriment to me. I was waiting for you to be happy in yourself that you could share us with the world. I have always put your first. I knew this could break me and it has. I need to put myself first this time as it’s evident you won’t.” Turning my back on her I grab my things and walk towards her door.

I can hear her running up behind me and she grabs my shoulders spinning me around. “No, you can’t go. I’m so sorry Y/N, I love you, please you can’t leave me. Don’t go we can work this out.” Looking in her eyes I can see the pain. Her cheeks are stained with tears. “We don’t need to work anything out Scar, you do. I just hope you find happiness one day without having to hide yourself way.” With that I walk out, my heart tearing from my chest. A part of me just wishing that one day she might be ready for this relationship as a whole.

Scarlett’s POV:

I had really fucked this up. I hadn’t slept for days and had shut myself away, calling in sick to work to avoid seeing anyone. I had never felt pain like this. Y/N was my world. I love her with all my heart. I had always intended to tell the everyone but it just felt too hard and she was so great at giving me time. But this PR relationship with Chris was by far the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. This isn’t me, I don’t intentionally hurt people but it feels like I did with Y/N.

Whilst in my cave of self-pity and depression I hear banging on the door. Dragging myself up I find an angry Lizzie stood there with her Wanda head tilt. Shit that’s terrifying! “What the fuck Scar?!” She huffs pushing herself into my house. “Well hello to you too Lizzie” I half chuckle. “You broke her when all she has ever done is put your first. I warned you that you needed to be honest with yourself or you’ll lose her.” She’s angry but her tone softens when she sees the state I’m in. “Geeze Scar when was the last time you slept?” She said pulling me in for a hug. “I can’t sleep without her.” I whisper tears starting to form in my eyes.

We move to the sofa and she takes my hands in hers. “From what I hear, Y/N didn’t get much sleep with you. Staying up til God knows when with you then being kicked out at 5am. Did you not notice how tired she’d been?” I just shake my head in shame. “I’ve screwed up Lizzie and I don’t know how to get her back. I’ve told my team I won’t go ahead with the fake relationship anymore but I know I need to do so much more than that to show her I’m in this for the long run.” I don’t dare even speak that I’m terrified that I’ve lost her forever, in fear that speaking it will make it true.

“Scarlett, you need to decide what scares you the most. Coming out and fearing people will see you differently, or losing Y/N, the woman you are madly in love with, for good. Just don’t take too long in making that decision or it could be too late.” She pulls me into a hug and we lie together on the sofa. “I miss her Lizzie” I sniffle. “Well, she’s performing on Jimmy Kimmel. How about we watch that?” I nod and she grabs the remote switching over to her performance.

Y/N’s Performance:

Jimmy: Performing her latest single, please welcome to the stage, Y/N Y/L/N!

The lights dim with a sole spotlight shining on Y/N who is sat at a piano. She starts to play as the notes ring out through the studio.

We keep behind closed doors

Every time I see you, I die a little more

Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls

It'll never be enough

As you drive me to my house

I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down

You and I both have to hide

On the outside where I can't be yours and you

Can't be mine

But I know this

We got a love that is homeless

Why can't I hold you in the street?

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't it be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?

I wanna shout it from the rooftops

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't it be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

It's obvious you're meant for me

Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly

Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep

But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this, we got a love that is homeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't we be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?

I wanna shout it from the rooftops

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't we be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

I don't wanna live love this way

I don't wanna hide us away

I wonder if it ever will change

I'm living for that day

Someday

When you hold me in the street

And you kiss me on the dance floor

I wish that we could be like that

Why can't we be like that

'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't it be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?

I wanna shout it from the rooftops

I wish that it could be like that

Why can't we be like that?

'Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that

Wish we could be like that

The lights faded as the camera zoomed in close enough to see that Y/N was crying before the stage went dark and the audience erupt in applause.

Scarlett’s POV:

Lizzie and I just sat there in silence. I could hear the pain in her voice and it hurt me to know that it was me that caused it. I was pulled out of my trance by Lizzie squeezing me into a tight hug whispering in my ear. “If this didn’t help you decide then I don’t know what will.” She was right, the only person who I care about is Y/N. I’m not scared anymore. I’m going to win her back.

I’m up all night with Lizzie working a way out that I can come out and show my love for Y/N. An Instagram post didn’t seem like enough and a press release was too impersonal. It needed to be something special, and that’s when Lizzie came up with a risky but perfect plan. I just hope that she could forgive me and we can start out lives together a fresh.

Timeskip

It was a week later and here I am sat in the back of Y/N’s limo. She just doesn’t know it. It’s the night of the Grammy’s and Y/N is up for an award. I’m so proud of her and it’s time to show her that she is my number one priority. Lizzie’s grand plan so far had worked. We spoke with Y/N’s team and I explained the whole situation. Her manager was surprisingly nice about and said that it explained a lot about her behaviour recently. She had agreed to arrange a secret plus one for Y/N. I would wait in her car to surprise to walk down the red carpet with her, as her girlfriend. I just hoped she wouldn’t kick me out on the curb.

My heart rate starts to pick up as I hear her talking as she walk towards the car. God I’ve missed that voice. The car door opens and she gets in letting out a slight sigh as she sits. It takes her a moment before she notices me sat there with a nervous smile on my face and she jumps “Jesus Scar, you scared the shit out of me.” We both let out an awkward chuckle. “What are you doing here?” She asks not quite able to maintain the eye contact. This is it, the moment I win my girl back.

I put my finger under her chin and lift it so she’s looking at me. My God she is breathtakingly beautiful! I then take both of her hands in mine taking a deep breath “Y/N. Since the day I met you, I knew I was going to fall madly in love with you. Every day I spent with you I fell more and more in love. No one has ever made me as happy as you do. I know it’s only been 3 months but I know you are the women I want to spend the rest of my life with. I screwed up, I know I can’t take that back. I was so paralysed with fear about coming out and people’s reaction to it, that I didn’t think about you and our relationship. I just let you carry on making the sacrifices for me. But today that changes. I love you with all my heart and I’m not prepared to lose you again. I am so fucking proud of what you have achieve this last year. You deserve everything you are going to get tonight. And…. If you’ll have me… I want to be there for you every step of the way. No more hiding. I want to walk down that red carpet on your arm as your proud girlfriend. And then I’m going to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I love you.”

There is a long silence as her eyes flicker between my own trying to get a read of me. I hope she can see how sincere I’m being, that I mean every word that I’m saying. “Don’t hurt me again. I don’t think I can survive if you do.” She whispers. The biggest smile appears on my face as I reach up and put my hand to her cheek wiping away the stray tear. “I promise I won’t. Can I kiss you?” I ask. “You never have to ask Scar.” And with that I pull her into a passionate kiss. I have missed her lips connecting with mine. It makes me feel complete. “You look absolutely beautiful Y/N. I’m so glad I get to call you mine.” She laughs and pulls me in for another soft kiss.

As we pull up to the venue Y/N grabs my hand. “Are you sure Scar? I don’t want you to do something you’re going to regret.” I look at her and smile. “The only regret I have is not telling the world how much I love you sooner. Let’s do this.” The fear is gone, I’m only excited now. As the door to the limo opens, I see the start of our new life together.

“like, bananas with chocolate..lemons..ice cream but it can only be strawberry or chocolate..strawberries..ummmm..that’s all i can think of..” she said as you giggled, “well it’s their fault not mines..” you said smiling before the door opened to a joão and fermin, you looked at liliana as you walked over, “how was training..” you said throwing the lemon away as joão furrowed his brows, “estabas comiendo un límon??” (were you eating a lemon??) he said looking at you, “si por que?” (yes why?) you said as he chuckled, “you’ve been eating differently now days..” he said before walking over to you, his hand’s wrapping around your neck. “get off me, we’re not going for sex..i know what you’re usually up to..” you murmured as he chuckled, “you know me too well y/n..” he said kissing your cheek before you watched liliana get up and get her stuff, “i’ll be back tomorrow to pick up your girlfriend joão, we have something to do..” she said as he looked up, “okay, what time?” he said, “possibly around 1 to 2pm, i know you and fermin are off so just catch both to of y’all a break..” she said smiling before waving at you, both her and fermin walking out.

you looked up at him before turning around, “you’re off tomorrow?” you said cupping his cheek as he nodded, “yeah, then in a few days we have to go to my parents house for this birthday thing they planned out for me..” he said, a giggle coming out of your mouth, “mhmm..come on let’s go upstairs now!” you said before he carried you, you screamed being in a giggling mess, luckily he was careful with your stomach before he took you upstairs. he placed you down on the bed before you sat up, “you’re so clingy y/n..” he said as you giggled, “well, congratulations you’re also clingy urself mister sequeira.” you said giggling before he pinned you down, “no. no freaky stuff.” you said smacking his head playfully, “i’m not going to, you’re just so tiny and cute..i love having you as my girlfriend..” he said kissing your forehead, you smiled before kissing his cheek. “can we nap..” you said before he chuckled, “hmmm..well what if we watch something then you can fall asleep in the middle of it like usual?” he said as you nodded your head, he got under the covers before you sat on your knees, he held your hand before you crawled over to your spot, before going under the covers resting your head on his chest.

“are you excited for your birthday..” you said before he scoffed, “not really..i’m not too sure what they’ll throw for me..” he said a giggle coming out of your mouth, “i think it’ll be fun baby, you just have to not think any harsh things..” you said holding his hand before playing with his fingers, he chuckled watching you. “you’re acting like a baby..” he said before you bit his finger, “be quiet.” he chuckled hearing your tone before putting on a movie, you two watched the movie as you began to slowly doze off. he looked down kissing your forehead before he ended up falling asleep as well.

approximately the next day…

you felt the nausea slowly hitting you again, morning sickness was a bitch. you got up before kissing joãos cheek, walking over to the bathroom you slightly closed the door, looking down at your stomach. “can i just have one day where i don’t necessarily pu-“ you said before randomly gagging as you opened the lid, letting your guts out. you coughed up half the stuff you had eaten before you flushed down the mess, you turned the sink on, starting to brush your teeth hoping that didn’t wake up joão..you poked on your tummy slightly giggling. you heard a knock the second you had finished before joão opened the door, “estas bien?” (are you okay?) he said as you nodded your head, “si, por que?” (yes, why?) you said, his brows furrowing. “i heard you gagging..you threw up didn’t you..” he said as you looked at him, nodding your head. “y-yeah..! but i’m fine, i took medicine.” you said smiling at him before he kissed your cheek, “okayyy, i believe you..” he said watching you do your routine, “joão. are you seriously going to stand there and watch me.” you said looking at him.

“of course, why can’t i watch my i hope to fiancé do her routine of the day?”

“becauseeeee..i have to leave in exactly a few hours..” you said as he chuckled slapping your ass, “i’ll be in bed then..” he said, you scoffed watching him roll back onto the bed. “HEY WHY IS HE IN MY SPOT.” you said staring at him, he chuckled watching your temper and the pink headband on your head, “because my girlfriend is currently getting ready..” he said pouting before you rolled your eyes, taking your headband off as you finished before getting back on the bed. “..well now she’s here!” you said giggling. before he chuckled as you sat on his lap, he slid his hand inside your shirt. you looked at him, his hands caressing your waist before you felt them near your breast, “nuh uh!” you smacked his hands off as he pouted. “meanie..” he said as you kissed his cheek, “nope, now let me go get ready.” you said as he watched you get off, his arms crossing behind his head watching you walk to the bathroom.

you were now in the closet finding for an outfit, something baggy and not as tight for your stomach, you put on a pair of jeans and a white shirt, surprisingly baggy on you as you changed out of your somewhat pajamas. you walked out the bathroom, joão looking at you. “can i help u?” you said before he shook his head, “you look so cute..” he said as you giggled, sitting on the edge of the bed putting your shoes on. “ow..” you said before joão furrowed his brows, “what happened?” he said as you widened your eyes, he doesn’t know yet. you carefully sat up looking back at him, “nothing..can you help me put these shoes on..” you said before he nodded his head getting up walking over to you, he kneeled down helping you put the shoe on. “what’s wrong?” he said, you shook your head. “oh nothing..just a few stomach pain..” you said twiddling with your fingers, “period cramps?” he said as you nodded your head. “yeah..something like that..” you said before he put the other shoe on for you.

“you’ll be okay, just take some pills baby..” he said before getting up kissing you, you kissed back cupping his cheeks before he moved your hand away, “nope..it has to be fair..” he said as you whined, “you’re no fun!” you said getting up, he chuckled spanking your bum. you bit down on your lip looking at him, “really?” you said turning around before he looked at you, “i just had to..” he said before getting back on the bed, you giggled. “uh huh..what a touchy pervert..” you said hearing him chuckle. he looked at you, “so where are you going with liliana..” he said as you gulped, “store..she needs some stuff for her home..” you said making up a lie, he wrapped his arms behind your waist, pulling you back to the bed placing you on the mattress, he hovered above you before tilting his head, “you’re always good at that..” he said kissing you, you kissed back cupping his cheeks. you expected him to let go but he didn’t..he continued kissing you.

your hand holding onto the back of his head, you felt his lips trickle down to your neck. kissing your skin, “j-j..we’re going to get carried out..” you said before he continued placing his finger over your lip, “let me do my part..” he said as you whined, “please..!” you said before he bit down on your neck, a moan coning out of you before he pulled back. “you bit my finger so..” he said as you stared at him, “REALLY.” you yelled out before he grabbed your cheeks tightly, kissing you again. you kissed back whimpering into his mouth, “j-joão..” you said as he looked up at you, “hm?” he said before you sat up, breathing heavily with pink cheeks. “what’s wrong..” you said fixing your shirt before he giggled, “nothing..just messing around..” he said as you rolled your eyes, your phone chiming looking down at the text.

“lils is here! i’ll be back later!” you said kissing him again, he kissed back. you did not want to leave him alone, you wanted more, your hormones craved more. you cupped his cheek, still kissing him. “joãoo..” you whined giggling before he pulled away, “you owe me.” he said before you nodded your head, grabbing your purse before kissing his cheek. “love you!” you said walking out the room, going downstairs then outside. you walked to lilianas car getting inside before she looked at you, “you mind telling me why you were blushing and why your lipstick is currently smudged..” she said before your face turned red, “be quiet! that’s not a bad thing..!” you said sitting down on the passenger seat before she laughed, “you’re definitely going to raise horny babies..” she said before driving off to the store, “HEY.” you said looking at her as she laughed, “is it true tho? you’re hormones girl..” she said a loud sigh coming out of your mouth, “true..i don’t know what to do tho..” you said before opening the mirror from the top of the car, fixing your lipstick. she giggled watching you apply the lipstick, “so what store are we going!?” she said, “uhh..definitely the baby store and target..i need to find a box to put the little surprise..” you said before she looked at you, “sounds good! don’t you also have an appointment today?” you said as you nodded your head, “yeah..it’s a checkup..” you said fixing your makeup before she giggled.

“i’m surprised he doesn’t know..and his birthday is in two days too..” you said tapping on your tummy, no sign of kicking or moving. you sighed as liliana looked at you, “they’re awake y/n..just they can’t move yet..” she said smiling at you as you nodded your head, “two babies in one tummy is a lot..” you said thinking how birth could be for you, a horrifying nightmare. “well yeah, two humans and you’ll be pushing them both out. of course it’s a lot..” she said stering the wheel as you sighed, “i just don’t know who to be in the room once im in labor, i mean i’m already planning and he doesn’t know yet until two days.” you said wondering what else you had in mind, “i don’t know the genders yet, i don’t even have the rooms yet, not even rhe names!” you said before liliana grabbed your hand and held it onto your thigh, parking the car.

“you’ll be fine y/n.. that moment isn’t here yet but once it’s here i’ll hopefully be there and even your parents, especially joão, you’ll be okay.” she said as you smiled, “okay..! now can we please go to the store and look for baby items.” you said as she nodded her head laughing, you opened the car door getting out before hearing liliana close the door from her side as the two of you walked inside.

meanwhile in the store..

“so..do you know what you’re getting so far?” she said as you looked around, “i was thinking a few pacifiers..but cute ones..then a little bear plush..” you said as she giggled just already watching you plan out, “and then the confetti and the tests of course with the little polariods of the babies..” you said walking over to the pacifiers, “although..” you said grabbing a pack of pacifiers, you were in awe looking at the tiny bubs. “though..i was thinking we cover the top with parchment paper and i write like a little note on the top, so when he opens it..it’s there..” you said looking through the pacifiers, finding the right color you had in mind. a little beige brown one should do. “since when you’d get creative with this..” she said laughing as you looked at her, “since i started eating differently.” you said putting the pacifiers in the cart, “now the plushie section!” you said as she shook her head laughing silently, following you.

“do a bear one to match the theme of the pacifiers, i think it’ll be cute.” she said before you found a small bear, “this one, it’s cute..” you said in awe, the stuff making you already just want to push your babies out. you put the bear stuffed animal in the cart before getting another one as you placed it in the cart, “okay! that should be it!” you said as she giggled, “you sure you don’t want more baby shopping?” she said, “i mean i wish.. but i don’t know if they’re girl and boy or boy and boy or girl and girl..” you said as she giggled, “you’re right..let’s go and pay now, then.” she said before you two walked over to the cashier.

“32.33!?for all this..” liliana said as you giggled, “they’re maternity and for babies..of course it’d be expensive..” you said gulping before you paid for the stuff, “thank you!” you said before you two left the store. “now we go get the little box you want, and the confetti then your appointment?” she said as you nodded your head, “mhm, she called earlier already so i’ll just have to go through everything again.” you said before getting in the car, as liliana started the car getting in the driver seat. “so is the appointment now? or..?” she said driving off, “she said 1:30 this time..” you said looking at your phone, “perfect! we’re on time then! it’s currently 12:20! we can stop by and get the box really quick at target and find some sharpies and parchment paper including some sticky notes for the reveal and then we head off.” she said as you nodded your head, she smiled before driving to target.

you leaned your body against the chair poking your tummy, still no sign of nothing. just you playing with your stomach, “really y/n is that how badly you want them out..” she said laughing at you poking your stomach, “be quiet.” you said huffing out, you sat up before she parked the car. “okay we’re here, let’s just go in there, grab and go and that’s it.” you said before she smiled getting out the car as you got out the car, the two of you walking inside the store. “these babies are a lot..” you said as she giggled, “i’m sure joão will love them y/n, even more when he finds out you’re having twins.” she said as you blushed, before finding the section of the gifts grabbing the white parchment paper, “..and then two isles down you’ll find the sharpies and sticky notes..” you said as she giggled watching you talk to yourself before you walked over to the other isle finding the sharpies and the sticky notes. “okay we’re done!” you said before she laughed, “you’re missing the box..” she said giggling before finding one behind you, “this will do, now we could find some ribbon to make it look like a gift and he can open it from there.” she said finding a gold roll of ribbon. “here, this should do..now let’s go.” she said before the two of you walked to the checkout.

meanwhile after paying..

“okay, shopping is done..now let’s go to your appointment, which gives us 15 minutes to get there and it’s currently 12:50..” liliana said, you in the other hand putting your seatbelt as she had already done everything before driving off to the clinic. “i have to wait two days for this..” you said frowning, “two days for the reveal?” she said turning the wheel, “yeah, i hate waiting. i don’t even know what i’m going to do.” you said rubbing your tummy, poking on it again. “well it’ll definitely not get you to waking those two up.” she said giggling, “oh be quiet!” you said smacking her arm playfully, “i still don’t get it, twins on my first ever pregnancy..its so scary..” you said as she hummed in response, “true, but like i’ve said y/n, you’ll be fine!” She said turning the wheel before parking the car.

“What’s wrong now?” She said furrowing her brows taking her seatbelt off, “sleepy..” you murmured before taking off your seatbelt, “i’m pretty sure it’s the twins..” you said fighting off a yawn, she looked at you giggling. “It’s okay, lets just go in there, maybe you’ll wake up. You get to see them today!” She said as your mood lightened up, that’s definitely something you wanted to see. Your twins through the monitor. You opened the door getting out the car as liliana did the same before you and her walked over to the building. You went over to the front, “i’m here for my appointment..” you said before the nurse smiled at you, “y/n?” She said as you nodded your head with a small, “mhm” she handed you a packet again to fill, but longer this time.. “fill this out and the dcotor will see you in a few minites!” She said smiling as you smiled back grabbing a pen before walking back to fill out the packet. “More stuff to sign?” Liliana spoke as you nodded, “just the usual but i guess with the symptoms im experiencing or just more concerns..” you said before filling out the form.

“Your belly..it’s really grown from the last time..” she said as you smiled, “Well..we know who to thank!” You said smiling before getting up carefully walking over to the front desk, turning the form in. Just in time as a nurse came out, “y/n!?” She said as you walked over and liliana followed you. “Okay! Just step on here real quick..” she said as you stood on the scale, she smiled letting you know you could get off the scale before you stood off the scale, “okay, head to room 4 and the doctor will be there in just a few minutes!” She said smiling, “okay, thank you!” You said smiling back before you and liliana walked to the room, you sat on the parchment paper again. “Nervous about this one?” She said as you shook your head, “Not really..what if they grew! Or what if i start feeling them kick and move this trimester!?” You said happily as she giggled, “I think you will, those two definitely will.” She said as you giggled before a knock on the door.

“Hola hola! Cómo han estado!” (Hello hello! How have y’all been!) Just when the doctor showed up you smiled, “bien! Muy bien!” (Good! Very good!) You said before she closed the door, “y los bebès?” (And the babies?) She said as you giggled, “hopefully okay..” you said before she smiled walking over to turn the monitor on, “your belly has grown since the last visit, how have you been coping with the pregnancy so far?” She said putting on a pair of gloves, “just sleeping in a lot..i went out today to announce the pregnancy tomorrow..” you said as she gasped in shocked, “that’s amazing! Where are you announcing it?” She said before she walked over grabbing the gel, you lifted your shirt up to your tummy. “A birthday party..precisely my boyfriend’s birthday party..” you said as she smiled, “his birthday surprise im assuming?” She said, you nodded your head as she squeezed the gel on your stomach.

The coolness making you shiver sending small goosebumps to your arm. “Well! Let’s see what the babies have done lately and anything new for them on the sonogram!” She said before sitting down on the chair grabbing the transducer connected to the machine. Liliana looked at the sonogram waiting for the babies to appear, already happy to see the babies. The second she began to move the device there they were. “There they are..” she said smiling as liliana looked over at you to see your reaction, “Their legs and arms are already forming, both sizes of an avocado..” she said, a small laugh coming out of you. “You just turned 4 months today so the babies should start moving anytime soon now that their legs and arms are ready..” she said as you smiled, the sound of their heartbeat echoing through the room. “Their not really easy to tell their gender.. have you thought of what you hope they’ll be tho?” She said as you blushed, “I thought maybe boy and girl..or possibly girl and girl..i’m not sure..” you said, “What does the tia think?” She said as liliana laughed, “i think boy and girl..” she said as the doctor smiled.

“These two are slowly forming their sex so by the next checkup they’ll be confirmed wether its boy and girl or girl and girl or possibly boy and boy.” She said as you smiled widely, “Is there a way you could take a picture and write something on it..” you said as she nodded her head, “Of course!” She said about to print the ultrasound photos, “maybe something like..surprise papi! we love you!” you said as she nodded her head, liliana was filming the ultrasound you looked over giggling before she took the copies, “before we finish it off, is there any questions?” She said as you nodded your head. “Just a small concern..” you said. “Yes?” She said looking at you, “Is there any chance that i could possibly like..have sex..” you said as liliana giggled at the way you got nervous to ask. “Yes, feel free to just try and go along with your way, i’d say it’s hormones. Nothing bad at all!” She said smiling, “It might get comfortable but just try talking it out with your partner!” She said as you nodded your head before grabbing a paper towel wiping off the gel off your tummy as she turned off the machine. “Here are the copies of the ultrasound! Good luck with the reveal as well!” She said as you smiled at her.

“Have a good day to you two ladies! Adios!” She said waving before you and liliana said your goodbyes as she left, “are they kicking right now?” She said as you shook your head, “not yet..maybe later or tomorrow, not sure when ana..” you said before pulling your shirt down as you got off the bed walking over to the door holding onto the ultrasound photos. You two walked out the clinic before you got in the car, “isn’t that exciting! The babies are moving soon!” Liliana said as you smiled, “well yeaa, but we have to worry now about the box, it’s two of these babies..” you said as she laughed before starting the car driving back to her place. “Do you think joão went over to your house..” you said as she shrugged, “maybe, he’s probably being delusional again..” liliana said, you rolled your eyes. “Let him be..you two are still young..” she said as you giggled, poking your stomach. “Wake up..” you murmured as liliana glanced at you, “silly they haven’t gotten to hear you yet.” She said as you rolled your eyes.

“Ur no fun.” You said as she giggled, she parked the car outside the garage as she looked at you, “HE’S HERE. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO-“ you shouted before she covered your mouth, “just put the photos in your purse, we’ll go to the second living room and when we’re done i’ll put the gift in my car, then tomorrow when we’re there and its nearly time to end it or the gifts then you’ll just grab it out!” She said as you nodded your head, she unlocked the trunk before you got out. You put the photos in your purse before grabbing the bags, liliana walked in as you looked at joão.

"Didn't expect to see you here." he said as you gulped, "Well you're here yourself and you never told me..so.." you said as he chuckled, "what did you get.." he said as your eyes widened, “just stuff for liliana..” you said as fermin turned around, you smiled before walking upstairs quickly, liliana smiled at both the boys before chasing you. You sat on the floor on the second living room you grabbed the box out as liliana watched you, “you sure you don’t need help..” she said as you shook your head, “nope! as long as they dont think this is suspicious..” you said before grabbing the parchment paper, placing it in the box. “How are you going to get up from there..” she said sitting on the sofa as you shrugged, “I dont know..i’ll just get joão or you to help!” You said happily, she bursted out of laughter watching you put the paper confetti around the box, “can you hand me the bag with the baby items..” you said as she nodded her head handing you the bag over, “do you think he’ll be excited?” liliana said.

“i think he will..apparently fermin told me that he was talking about it like a few days ago when they went out..” she said helping you place the pacifiers infront of the teddys. you heard footsteps as you lookded at liliana, “alguien viene..” (someones coming..) you said as she stood up, she covered the entrance as fermin stood there. “y que hacen?” (and what are yall doing?) he said confused, “nada! ve pa bajo, te miro en unos minutos.” (nothing! go downstairs, i’ll see you in a few minutes.) liliana said, fermin tippy toed trying to see what you were up to, you grabbed the pregnancy test as fermin gasped. “NO JODAS.” he yelled out as you looked at him, “are you fucking serious!?” you said before trying to get up, you whined before getting up. “you can’t say anything. not even a word. this is for tomorrow.” you said.

“pero-“ (but-) you slapped his hand, “pero nada. tú no digas nada, mañana se dice y punto.” (but nothing, you dont say anything until tomorrow and period.) he looked at you as you looked back, “i know he’s your friend but this is a surprise, and yes I’m pregnant..” you said quietly, fermin looked at your stomach. “oh that explains the baggy clothes..” he said as you frowned, “baggy clothes? how do you-“ you said confused, “joão keeps mentioning you’ve been suspicious lately..” he said as liliana palmed her face. “ay ya callate! ya! ve pa bajo, te miro. Ok? Te amo!” (ugh shut up! stop! go downstairs, i’ll see you, okay? Love you.) she spoke kissing his cheek before she scooted him out, you sat back on the floor putting the 4 tests on the box, you sighed remembering the day. before grabbing the polariods from your bag, “he’ll be happy y/n..trust me..” she said as you smiled slightly, “hopefully..” you said placing the polariods next to the teddies, grabbing the parchment paper covering the top.

you grabbed a sticky note writing down on it, “open me!” placing it on the top of the box, “you’re writing two?” She said as you hummed in response, “si” you said before writing down on the note placing it ontop of the parchment paper as you closed the box before grabbing the brown lace. Tieing a bow on it, you smiled. “done!” you said before holding onto the table getting up, “so you’ll keep it?” you said as she nodded, “si, then i’ll put it in my car then tomorrow we’ll be there at the other house.” She said smiling as you hugged her, “thank you.” you said before she hugged back, “your welcome y/n, and of course to the twins..” she said smiling before the two of you went back downstairs.

joão looked at you, “are we leaving?” he mouthed out as you nodded your head, he chuckled at your words and at the sentence coming out of fermin before he stood up. “bueno..me tengo que ir ya..y mañana pues..” (well..i have to get going now..and tomorrow well..) he said before you walked next to him holding his hand, he chuckled kissing your cheek. “miss sequeira and mister sequeira..not surprised..” she said as you blushed heavily, “thought we talked about this.” you said rolling your eyes playfully, joão chuckled. “bueno, nos vamos ya!” (well, we’ll be leaving now!) you said before waving ‘bye’ at both of them as you and joão exited their house.

he opened the door for you as you giggled kissing his cheek before you got in as he closed the door before getting in his side, sitting down on the driver seat. He started the car before holding your hand, you were distracted looking out the window. “hey..you okay?” he said glancing at you, you looked at him. “yeah! why wouldn’t i be?” You said smiling, “you sure? you can tell me anything that’s going through your head, i don’t want you unsafe around me amor..” he said as you began tearing up, “no,no,no..what’s wrong..” he said before stoping the car in the middle of nowhere, you wiped your tears shaking your head. “h..hormones..i’m okay i swear..” you said sniffing as he furrowed, “still on your period?” he said as you nodded your head, “l-let’s just go home..” you said kissing his cheek, he wiped your tear kissing your forehead. “okay..we’ll go home and i’ll see what we can do..” he said as you nodded before he drove back home.

there it was..the little unexpected moment you knew was coming.

he parked infront of the garage before looking at you, “let’s go..” he said caressing your cheek, you smiled slightly before he got outside the car, you got out yourself carefully before you two walked in back home. he opened the door to floki running straight into you, you held him in your hands before going upstairs. “he loves me..” you said as he chuckled behind you, you went upstairs to the bedroom sitting down on the bed attempting to take your shoes off, “o-ow..” you whimpered out before he walked in and looked at you, “what’s wrong?” he said as you pointed at your shoes, “it hurts to bend down..” you said before he walked over to you kneeling down, “one leg on my lap.” he said as you nodded before he helped you take your shoes off. you placed your other leg on his lap as he helped you take it off. you smiled before you sat criss cross on the bed, you whimpered at the back pain. “my back..” you said as he frowned, “does it hurt?” he said as you nodded, you took your shirt off.

“jeez..your boobs grew..” he said as you looked up at him, “quit being a pervert!” you said smacking him, he shook his head. “nooo..you’re my girlfriend silly..” he said before he cupped your cheek, you closed your eyes as his thumb rubbed your cheek. “kiss me..” you mumbled before he kissed you passionately, you kissed back cupping both his cheeks, he pushed you down on the bed still kissing you. “j..you’re going to get caught off..” you said in between, “you still owe me..” he said as you whined. “i..i know..” you said before his kisses went down to your neck, you moaned softly slightly shifting around the sheets, “joão..” you said. his hands going inside your bra clip, you held his hand shaking your head. “please..l-later..” you said as he pulled away nodding his head, “though you might wanna get rid of your little friend..” you said as he looked down at his pants, “your fault y/n..” he said as you sat up shaking your head, “no it’s not!” you said getting up before walking to the bathroom, “i’ll be in the shower..can you feed floki too..i-i forgot to feed him before i left..” you said.

he nodded his head, he went downstairs before you closed the door a few inches turning the water on. you took your jeans off before you fully undressed yourself going in the water, you let the water run through your body and hair before poking your stomach, “i know you two are asleep..” you said sighing, you grabbed the bottle of shampoo pouring it on your hand, then spreading it around your hair before going in, you grunted loudly feeling a hard kick in your stomach as your tummy twitched. “g-great..” you murmured before you rinsed your hair off, the kicking coming back again. “j-jeez..you two kick hard..” you said giggling. you went quiet the second the door slightly opened, you looked around. before turning back inside the water, suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around you. you screamed before turning around, “why did you do that!” you said before he smiled, “why not..” he said as you giggled, you looked up at him cupping his cheek.

“want to..continue..where we left off..” you said running a finger down his chest, tilting your head. he chuckled before cupping your cheek tightly, you giggled before he kissed you deeply yet again pinning you to the wall. you held onto his shoulder his kisses going down to your neck, you moaned softly yet again his finges tracing down your waist. you breathed heavily, he continued kissing your neck as his finger slid inside of you. you gasped in between your moans, the warm water making it hot for you as it hit against your body. you whined before he began pumping his finger in and out of you slowly, you clenched tightly around him. He groaned at the tightness around your finger, he kept thrusting into your dripping cunt. “s-so good..” you moaned out leaning your head against the wall, your hand holding onto his arm. he added another finger, nearly almost throwing you off the edge.

you were breathing heavily his hand squeezing your boob as you cried out a moan, his fingers kept thrusting into you. you looked at him, your eyes teary from the pleasure already overstimulating you. “f..faster..” you cried out as he widened his eyes, “didn’t know you needed me this bad..” he said thrusting faster, the tip of his fingers brushing against your g-spot, you whimpered constantly in between your moans. you felt the burning sensation in your stomach again, “‘m gonna..gonna..cum!” you said gripping onto his bicep before releasing yourself on his fingers, you panted before he looked at you. “always taking my fingers too well..” he said kissing your cheek, you smiled lazily before you giggled. “i think you have a little problem yourself tho..” you said, he chuckled kissing you again. you kissed back before he pulled away, “i’ll see what i can do..” he said as you giggled.

meanwhile..

you were ontop of joão, rocking your hips back and forth. your hands on his chest, you were sweating, panting and moaning breathlessly. “t-too m..much..” you moaned out, he grabbed your hip tightly as you whined out before he thrusted his hips up against you. you were moaning breathlessly, nearly screaming after the..what round? oh yea, 3rd round. you arched your back as the tip of his cock brushed against your g-spot, “o-one more baby..fuck..o-one..more..” he groaned out , you moaned in response nodding your head. “s-sooo..close..gonna cum in you..” he murmured in your ear, he was moving you by your hips, stopping his thrusts before you got up moving your hips with the small strength in you. “c-close..!” you said before he caressed your ass. “come on..you can do it.. you’re doing so good..” he said before you felt your stomach burning up.

you leaned closer resting your forehead on his, you kept moving your hips quicker. “i-i love you..” you said softly in between your moans, “te amo mas..” he said cupping your cheek before your walls squeezed around him, you moaned loudly burrying your face in the crook of his neck, his cock almost slipping out as your pussy clenching caused his orgasm to trigger inside you. you panted heavily before he looked at you, “baby..look at me..” he said as you looked at him, you felt him slip out as you whimpered, “h-hey..” you breathed out smiling lazily, he chuckled moving the strand of hair away from your forehead.

“it’s midnight..” you said quietly your finger running a hand down his chest, “hm?” he said, “your birthday baby..” you said giggling before he smiled, “you’re so cute..” he said before he kissed your forehead, you slightly got off laying down in the middle, he rested his arm on the bed, head laying on his hand. you turned around facing him, your finger tracing around his chest. “since its your..b-birthday..tell me one of your wishes..” you said as he chuckled, “en serio..?” (seriously..?) he said as you nodded, “in the future..if we’re still together..hopefully.. i want a small family..” he said, your eyes looking into his. sparkles. “really..” you said, his head nodding in return. “yes..i’ll do anything, we can just stay home and be lazy with the kids when am off, we could help them make like a blanket fort and sleep with them..you know..” he said as you giggled, you smiled at him before sitting up, kissing his cheek.

“let’s sleep okay? maybe we can sleep in and then go to your parents house tomorrow..” you said smiling as he nodded, you got under the covers before he rested his head on your chest. “love you y/n.” he said before you kissed his forehead, “love you more..” you said as the two of you fell asleep.

approximately the next morning..

it was 12pm..surprisingly you and joão were knocked out. three rounds was very tiring for you, even for him possibly a workout due to his stamina.. suddenly, you felt kicking in your stomach a small whimper coming out of your mouth feeling the hard kick, you opened your eyes a bit, a sleepy joão still. his brown hair covering his face as you blushed, the sun slightly shining through the dark curtains, you looked around for floki himself as well. surprisingly he was plopped on the floor asleep, you sighed shakily before kissing his cheek, as you rested your head on his chest before falling back asleep.

2:56pm

“y/nn..wake uppp..” joão said shaking you slightly, you whined before moving around as your back was facing him. “come on..i don’t wanna wake you up but we have to get ready..” he said, you shook your head, “just..five more..minutes..” you murmured sleepily, he chuckled kissing your cheek. “love you miss sequeira..” he said before getting up, you were still asleep. your thighs were sore and your body was as well, not to mention two humans also..you covered yourself more with the blanket, still sleeping before you felt joão ontop of you. “get off..” you whined turning around, “come on we have to get going..” he said before you woke up, you rubbed your eyes looking at him. “three rounds is too tiring..” you mumbled before sitting up, the blanket falling off your chest as his eyes widened at the size of your boobs. “th-they’re growing..” he said as you slapped his arm, “quit looking!” you said before getting up, your legs felt like jello. wobbly and shaky, you careiflly limped to the bathroom. “i’m being honest tho!” he said before getting up, walking to the closet.

he squeezed your ass as you turned around, “hey! that’s enough! you had your turn yesterday!” you said before he kissed your cheek, you smiled before starting to brush your teeth. surprise surprise..the morning sickness went away. you poked on your stomach feeling the same kick, you grunted quietly before finishing, as you walked into the closet. “your boobs usually dont grow on your period..” he said before you turned around whining, “jesus that’s enough! they grow cause of hormones!” you said as he chuckled, little did he know. you were pregnant that’s why.. you put a pair of white panties on then a bra before finding a white dress, you looked down at your stomach that joão surprisingly didn’t ask yet. you put the dress on before fixing it on yourself.

he looked at you, “you look different..” he said as you looked at him, “different? how..?” you said before finding a pair of shoes, “your boobs and your facial features..” he said, you slapped his arm, “quit with the boob thing! it’s getting out of hand!” you said as he giggled behind you, “well they’re my favorite part of you too, you know that.” he said, your cheeks turning pink before you walked over to the bathroom doing your hair. “goddamn it j! the hickey is noticeable!” you said before he smirked looking at you, “good.” he said before you scoffed, “very funny mister sequeira..” you said rolling your eyes, grabbing the curling wand.

“soon you’ll be miss sequeira..” he whispered in your ear, you blushed heavily before he walked out putting his shirt on, you were nearly done with your hair..it was just some loose waves, you poked your belly yet again. two kicks this time, you smiled before finishing your hair as you went back in the closet looking for some shoes, you grabbed some heels before walking out the closet putting them on. “are you done..just like how you rushed me..” you said, “yes i’m done, you’re still short by the way.” he said as you whined, “this isn’t funny at all! come on we’ll be late!” you said before he pulled you in, you looked up at him. “my pretty girlfriend..” he murmured before leaning down to kiss you, you kissed back before he pulled away.

“let’s go now..” he said holding your hand, you held his hand back walking downstairs and to outside.

he opened the door for you as you got inside the passenger seat before he closed the door..walking over to his side he opened the door starting the car as he sat down on the driver seat. he drove to his parents house, his hand resting on your thigh. you looked at him, “what’s wrong now..” you said as he shook his head, “how come you didn’t get me a gift..” he said, you looked at him giggling. “that’s a surprise..you’ll love it a lot..” you said, his eyes wandered to you. “REALLY?” He said happily, you nodded while giggling. “mhm, i never lie baby.” you said playing with his pinky, he chuckled before parking the car.

“looks like liliana is here already..” he said rolling his eyes, you giggled. “calm downnn..come on now! let’s go!” you said before he kissed you, you kissed back cupping his cheek. his hand running inside your hair, “j..we’re going to..” you mumbled as he shook his head, “no..more..” he said before you pulled back breathing heavily, “l..later, we have to get going..” you said as he hummed in respone, “let’s go then!” He said before you got out the car, you waited for him as you held his hand, the two of you giggling after a small makeout in the car before the door opened. you stopped giggling before liliana looked at you, “the hickey explains…we’ve been waiting for you both!” She said before you looked down blushing, joão chuckled at your reaction before the two of you entered the house.

you greeted half his family before you sat on the couch, liliana plopping herself next to you. “that hickey is too noticeable y/n..” she said as you blushed looking at her, “we kinda got off guard yesterday and..” you whispered as she bursted out laughing, you smacked her arm rolling your eyes. “shut up..” you said, she rested her hand on your stomach. “so do they mo-“ the second she spoke, you felt a kick in your belly. she looked up at you with widened eyes, “..surpriseeee..! they move already..” you said giggling, she was still in shock. “calm down..they just started to kick yesterday, they can’t hear me or anybody. they’re not used to anything yet..” you said as she nodded her head, “oh..no wonder now..” she said, you giggled.

after a long dinner and conversations..

“bueno! ahora que ya se calmaron todos! quien tiene regalos!” (well! now that everybody calmed down! who has gifts or anything!) joãos mom spoke, you gulped before looking at liliana. “i’ll be back..” she said to fermin before she got up walking outside the house, you looked around looking for joão before running outside yourself chasing liliana. “WHERES THE GIFT.” you said before she giggled opening the trunk, “here, you ready for this? no more secret after this.” she said as you sighed loudly nodding your head. “ready than ever!” you said holding the box before the two of you walked back inside. you walked back to the living room where everybody was, “this one is for you..” you said walking to joão, suddenly everyone went quiet. you smiled at him before he furrowed his brows, “is this the surprise..” he said as you nodded your head.

“open it!” you said before he held the box walking to the front of the table, you stood next to him as he untied the ribbon. you gulped, you began balancing your weight on your toes, the anxiety kicking in. he opened the box as everybody was attempting to say what it was, “it’s probably a box of lingerie.” fermin said as you blushed heavily, joão chuckled shaking his head. “no, theres a letter.” he said holding the letter, looking down at the parchment paper. he held it as he looked down, “se que esto es muy temprano, pero te estamos esperando papi!” (i know this is early, but we’re waiting for you daddy!) his eyes widened. “no jodas y/n..you’re lying.” he said looking at you, you began tearing up before he opened the parchment paper. he looked down at the tests then the teddies then you.

“you’re lying!”

“a-am not..”

“TWINS!?” he said happily as you nodded your head, wiping your tears away. “mhm..” you said before he held the ultrasound photos, he looked at you before tears started flowing down your face. joão hugged you as everybody in the back kept saying “aw” or just gasping at the fact that you are now officially pregnant. joão was rubbing your back, before you looked at him, “how far along have you hid this?” he said smiling down at you, “four months..they just turned four months yesterday..” you said as he smiled, “do they kick yet..?” he said, you giggled. “i’ll show you that later..” you said before he kissed your forehead.

suddenly you pulled away from the hug and your bump was pretty noticeable now from the dress, everybody was congratulating you and joão.

“i knew all along too.” fermin said as you frowned, “you did. yesterday.” you said rolling your eyes playfully, “you’re an uncle by the way.” joão said to fermin as you giggled. “we can go home in a few minutes..” joão said, you nodded before you two walked around the house saying your goodbyes to his family. you hugged his mom as her hand held your stomach, “no te duele?” (it doesnt hurt you?) she said, you shook your head. “bueno..en la espalda si..pero el estomago no..patean muy feo..” (well, my back yes..but my stomach no..they kick ugly tho..) you said as she smiled slightly, “bueno deja que entonces joão te masaje, eso ayuda poquito..” (well then let joão massage your back, it’ll help a bit..) she said, your head nodded up and down before she hugged you one last time. “los miro cuando?” (when do i see y’all?) she said as you giggled, “gender reveal.” you said as she nodded, you and joão waved bye before you grabbed the box the two of you walking out the house.

“you might want to keep the box..the babies are already growing..” you said, he looked at you. “already..? when are you due?” he said opening the door for you, you slid in the passenger seat before you hummed, “in about five months..” you said, he rolled his eyes playfully before closing the door walking to his side sitting down on the driver seat, starting the car he drove back home. “so you hid it for four months..does that explains the weird food you’ve been eating?” he said as you nodded, “well yea..it’s weird..theres more changes too..” you said, he frowned. “like what..” he said holding your hand, “well..my boobs..floki chasing me around..” you said quietly, “your boobs are growing because of the twins!?” he said loudly, you giggled, “maybe..” you said, his eyes were widened and it was making you laugh. “you’re so cute..” you whispered, he glanced at you. “mhmmm..” he said before parking the car. you looked at him, “can you believe it tho..you’re going to be a daddy..” you said, he nodded his head as pink blush tinted over his cheeks before the two of you got out the car.

you and joão walked back in, you put the box down on the counter isle before he picked you up bridal style, “hey! i can walk you know that right!” you said, he shook his head. “no, heels make you tired baby, i know how you are..” he said kissing your cheek before walking upstairs, he walked to the room placing you down on the bed. he kneeled down resting his ear against your stomach. “can they hear me yet?” he said, you shook your head. “n-no..not yet, they’ve been kicking tho..” you said, he smiled before kissing your stomach. “if you poke a finger onto my stomach then they’ll kick, i guess they don’t like being poked or they do..i’m not too sure..” you said before he didn’t hesitate to poke your stomach, “i think the kicking is from their daddy..” he said as you giggled, your stomach twitching at the kick from the babies. “see..” you said before he poked your stomach again, “you think they’ll be tiny as you..” he said, you hummed. “mmm..maybe..” you said giggling before he kissed your stomach again, getting up. you sat up before getting up yourself walking to the closet, changing out of the dress into one of joão’s shirts. he looked down at your small figure, the shirt like a dress on you. you walked out before getting on the bed crawling to your spot.

joão laid next to you, before you rested your head on his chest. “your heart..it’s racing quickly..” you said, he looked down at you. “well duh..you’re right here and you’re carrying our children now..” he said, you smiled before playing with his fingers. “lils thinks its a boy and girl..” you said softly, he frowned looking at you. “i want a girl and girl..you know.. two little princesses running around..” he said, you giggled before he kissed your cheek. “i love you so much y/n..” he said, you looked at him, his eyes sparkling moving the strand of hair slightly away from his face. “i love you from the bottom of my heart..” you said before the two of you fell asleep.

Garreth Weasley x f!reader

Tags: explicit | fluff | smut | jealousy | blowjobs | unprotected sex 5.5k words Summary: Your second date doesn't go quite as planned, but Garreth insists you make the most of it past curfew. A/n: Have a little jealousy from various angles. Could probably still be read standalone without the other chapters.

Being Garreth Weasley’s girlfriend was about as gloriously easy as you’d expected. Once he’d overcome the awkwardness of not quite knowing what he was doing (and acknowledging that neither did you), your relationship settled back to comfortable familiarity with a whole host of added benefits. 

You’d already discovered his romantic inclinations when he twirled you around Hogsmeade and brought you to a heavenly meadow at sunset, but Garreth was both thoughtful and attentive. He wasn’t one for bestowing expensive gifts, instead choosing to smother you with affection and his absolutely undivided attention, which you eagerly lapped up.

As you readied yourself for the day, tucking your shirt into your skirt and forgoing your robe altogether, your mind drifted back to the previous afternoon’s stolen kisses in between lessons. Whilst you spent most of your days together, each night you retreated to your separate dormitories with a slight hint of regret. It wasn’t that you didn’t want to cuddle up to Garreth in his bed—in fact you’d love nothing more—but you preferred not to submit yourself to the school’s penchant for idle gossip. At least, not yet.

Heaving your bag onto the bed, you gazed inside; it was laden with supplies, textbooks galore, half of which you didn’t need for the day’s lessons. As you started pulling them out, something caught your eye—brightly coloured and now unfortunately broken. You stared at the lollipop at the bottom of your bag, barely able to contain your giggle. How had you forgotten about this? Granted, the end of your date with Garreth had been eventful to say the least, but the tongue-tingling lollipop certainly warranted some attention.

Bag lighter and lollipop stowed, you bounded down the stairs into the common room and caught sight of Garreth’s flowing copper locks leaning against the back of a sofa—he had a scrap of parchment in his hand and was deep in thought. His mind didn’t ever appear to slow, constantly turning over ideas even before breakfast.

“Garreth,” you nudged his ribs, breaking his trance before immediately pulling him by his tie to meet your lips.

The arm holding the paper immediately dropped to his side, taken off guard by your enthusiastic kiss for a moment before he melted, a gentle hum into your mouth and fingers sliding around your waist. He held you tightly, soft lips brushing yours with the taste of mint on his tongue and a delicious scent of lavender in his hair. It had been a long ten hours without him.

“Hello, darling,” he said with a grin as you came up for air.

The term of endearment had so far never failed to make your heart flutter.

“Good morning,” you smiled back. “I have something in my bag…”

Your news was cut short by the arrival of Leander, who greeted you both with a tired yawn. Your fellow Gryffindor and friend was probably one of the only people who had failed to predict yours and Garreth’s involvement—when Garreth had told him about your dinnertime escapades to retrieve his notes, he’d stared open-mouthed and disbelieving at the pair of you. To say he was less than enthusiastic about the idea would be an understatement, and he frequently lamented being what he termed to be a ‘third wheel’.

In this case, he was absolutely right.

“Morning, Leander. Not sleep well?” you asked.

“No, as a matter of fact. Might need you to brew me some dreamless sleep,” he directed towards Garreth.

“Of course, I can whip you up a batch later,” he said, before catching your tiny frown. “Erm, well, maybe tomorrow. We have a date planned.”

“Oh don’t bother, I’ll buy one from J. Pippin’s,” he huffed, heading towards the portrait hole.

You and Garreth looked at each other, exchanging confused looks and shrugs before following his towering form into the corridor. Leander barely fit through the portrait hole, his coiffed hair brushing the stone wall above him. There was little point trying to keep up with his long strides, so instead you fell into a comfortable walk with your hand clasped in Garreth's.

“Remember on our first date, I bought a lollipop?” you asked in hushed tones.

“From Honeydukes? I think so…”

“Well, it’s of the…,” you leaned in to whisper in his ear, “...tongue-tingling variety.”

“Oh? Oh, I see,” Garreth said, finally catching up on your lewd thoughts as you wiggled your eyebrows suggestively.

He broke into a grin, absolutely giddy at the thought already.

“When did you plan to, erm…"

“We have a free period later…," you suggested, already wondering how you'd be getting through the morning's Herbology lesson.

You'd never seen Garreth so happy as he practically skipped the rest of the way to breakfast, annoying Leander to no end by dropping subtle hints about what a great day it would be, that he was positively tingling with excitement. You tried hard to stifle your laughs as your classmates looked at the two of you in bafflement, eventually deciding they simply didn't want to know.

After a hearty breakfast, you headed off to the greenhouses for your first lesson of the day. Double Herbology was usually enjoyable, having time to chat whilst getting your hands muddy unless you were unfortunately repotting the shrivelled little Mandrakes. Today involved tending to the tentacular, who were in dire need of a prune. You were so involved in not getting injured that you barely registered the appearance of a certain Slytherin at your side.

"You ought to buy a new pair of gloves, those are looking a little tatty," he muttered in your ear.

"There's nothing wrong with these," you replied. 

"Where's your guard dog? Or puppy, rather," he continued, joining you with your pruning with a furtive look at Professor Garlick.

"If you mean Garreth, he's just gone to get some new secateurs from the other greenhouse."

"I don't like it."

You have him a disparaging look, almost losing the grip you had on the branch. That would have been unfortunate. You decided to feign ignorance, though you knew he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut about Garreth; it was a miracle he'd managed to hold off on this lecture for a whole week. Probably due to Ominis' influence.

"And why ever not? He's my best friend."

Sebastian simply shrugged; though you knew exactly why he didn't like the situation, you didn't want to give him the satisfaction of acknowledging his interest in you. You weren't able to go down that rabbit hole, particularly when you were grappling with a venomous plant hell-bent on making you its next meal. By the time Garreth returned, his usually jovial expression was painfully neutral as he joined you at the bench, casting a cursory glance over at Sebastian before getting stuck into the plant.

Whilst they'd never been bosom buddies, Sebastian and Garreth had always been civil, sometimes even bordering on friendly, so the sudden coldness between the pair was uncomfortable. Your eyes flicked between them and your task with growing annoyance as the small talk became stilted; you were thankful when Professor Garlick called an end to the class, shoving your tools away and leaving without a word to either of them.

Garreth caught up to you in the corridor, concern etched on his gorgeous, stupid freckled face, pulling you to the side with a firm grip on your arm. 

"Are you cross with me?" he asked, glittering green eyes searching yours.

"I am, because you're both making this really bloody awkward."

"I'm sorry."

Your peripheral vision caught a chestnut head as Sebastian walked past with his usual swagger, looking back over his shoulder with a satisfied smirk. Arse. Garreth noticed too, his eyebrows knitting into a frown.

"Was he the one you…you know. Before me?"

With a deep sigh, you crossed your arms defensively, not enjoying having this conversation in the middle of the corridor.

"Yes, he was."

"Right…," he nodded.

You weren't sure who he'd have preferred it to be; perhaps anyone but Sebastian. He looked crestfallen, the expression churning your stomach as you gripped his limp hand. 

"Garreth…"

"Why him? Why not me?"

"We were just friends, and you never said anything…and you said you were with someone before me, too."

"Yes, but it wasn't someone you know."

The thought had bothered you, but it wasn't worth thinking about. Knowing that it was likely some pretty girl from the village where his family lived made it somehow easier to bear.

"Are we seriously arguing about this? It was only a couple of times, and…"

"A couple?"

You rolled your eyes, which was the wrong thing to do as Garreth's body tensed; a rare indication that he was irritated. Wrapping your arms around his waist, you rested your head on his shoulder, embracing him tightly with a sigh. Garreth wasn't the stubborn sort, encircling your body in his arms and pulling you tightly against him. The movement and noise around you seemed to melt away as you swayed gently on the spot, a wordless apology between you.

"You've nothing to worry about, I promise," you said, kissing the tip of his nose.

"No, I believe you, I'm sorry. I never thought I'd be the jealous type, to be honest," he replied bashfully.

"Want to skip lunch?" 

"Skip…lunch?"

The thought of missing out on food wasn't the least bit desirable, but his lips turned up into a mischievous grin as he caught your flirtatious gaze. You had every intention of showing him exactly why he shouldn't be jealous of your Slytherin friend, dragging him into the nearest unoccupied classroom with great urgency. 

Garreth looked like Christmas had come early as he promptly pinned you against the wall, moaning into a deep kiss that left you breathless. His hands gripped your waist as yours flew to his hair, tugging and mussing as they went. He no longer tasted of the mint toothpaste, instead of the little snack of chocolate he'd pulled from his bag during Herbology. The sweet kisses and his wandering hands had you limp and pliable in his arms, and the soft moan of his name that escaped you caused an eager twitch inside his trousers.

Leaning back against the wall to get a better view of his flushed face, you ground your hips into his straining erection, revelling in the low growl and intense stare it elicited. 

"Pass me my bag."

Garreth did as he was asked, immediately rifling through the contents to find the broken lollipop. Ripping open the wrapper, there was still a sizeable chunk left on the stick, which you promptly put into your mouth with a teasing swipe of your tongue. 

"Fuck," Garreth muttered, freeing himself from his trousers as you continued to suck and lick the lollipop, never taking your eyes off of him.

You guided him against the wall and made him watch the display, sure to add your own moans as your hand wrapped around his thick cock as you finished the sweet. The tingle on your tongue was intense; a cold sort of prickling which reminded you of the popping candy you’d had on your very first date. The thought made you smile as you dropped to your knees, running the flat of your tongue all the way up his shaft. 

"Oh sh-shit…that feels fucking good. Incredible. Oh-," Garreth stuttered.

The sugary sweet didn't entirely mask his taste, and the first drop of his salty precum had you moaning against his head as you enveloped him completely. Your scalp burned as his fingers wrapped in your hair, taking your time to swirl your tingling tongue around the tip. Fuck lunch, you could happily gorge yourself on his cock all day. 

You'd barely started a rhythm before Garreth's thighs started to shake beneath your spare hand, and you ran your fingers over the firm muscle to grip his arse. Giving him a cheeky squeeze, you took his length into your mouth deeper and deeper until his stuttering turned to a whimper. His cock twitched and you pulled back, letting his release flood your mouth with a satisfied groan. Pulses of cum came thick and fast until your lips and chin were coated from the overspill, and you gulped every last drop down dutifully, gazing up at him with adoring eyes.

Garreth was breathless, pink and appeared to have lost his speech as he gasped for air. His fingers loosened on your hair as he met your eyes, using his thumb to wipe the stray dribbles from your lips, pushing them back into your mouth with a smirk. He was so fucking delicious, and you vowed to buy an armful of those lollipops the next time you were in Hogsmeade.

-

Skipping lunch had been a terrible idea. By the time dinner came around and you’d grown sick of the various snacks you both had stashed, you were the first into the great hall and sat fidgeting at the table as you waited for the food to appear. The meal could have been your most hated dish (liver and onions) and you still would have wolfed it down. Thankfully, the house elves had prepared a delicious game pie with mountains of roasted vegetables and syrup pudding for dessert.

You sat side by side in silence as you ate, almost choking on a large piece of meat with the enthusiasm of your eating. Leander and Natty had settled opposite you, engaged in conversation before they both caught sight of the gluttonous display.

“You both…alright there?” Leander asked with a quirked eyebrow as he scooped vegetables onto his own plate.

Garreth was already going back for seconds, mouth still stuffed and nodding at your friend. Natty was somewhere between amused and disgusted but that didn’t seem to deter him.

“We missed lunch. Absolutely starving,” you replied.

“Oh yes, why was that exactly?” Natty asked with a knowing glint in her eye.

“No reason, we er…wanted to catch up on some work.”

Leander huffed at the obvious lie but didn’t press you. You hoped he’d soon get used to the idea of you and Garreth being together, for all of your sakes. Perhaps a day out with your various friends was in order to show that you were, in fact, capable of holding a friendship at the same time as your romantic involvement with Garreth. For now, though, you had a date to attend; once Garreth had stopped eating. His plate was almost licked clean by the time he’d finished with a great sigh.

“You’d better not fall asleep on me,” you teased, looking at his contented expression and lazy eyes.

“No chance,” he grinned.

“You still haven’t told me what we’re doing. Is it inside or outside the castle?”

“Inside, in a way,” he said cryptically.

Inside, but…not entirely? A balcony, perhaps? The answer became obvious once you crossed the bridge to the astronomy wing, taking the stairs two at a time up the tallest tower. Up and up you went; the climb took a while, but was well worth it as you emerged onto the main observation deck and gazed over the railings. The sun had almost finished setting, still casting an orange glow over the steep hills that surrounded the castle. Soon the sky would turn an inky black and with the absence of cloud cover you’d be able to see the stars clearly.

Garreth had stashed a basket in the storage area below, and had assured you that there were no classes due and a caterwauling charm cast to frighten off anyone looking for a spot of nighttime stargazing. Opening the magically-expanded basket, you gasped in awe at the cavernous space inside the unassuming wicker container, filled with all kinds of things one might need on a date. Blankets, cushions, snacks, an entire china tea set, a sofa…he’d thought of everything to make it comfortable up here so you could enjoy the fantastic view to its fullest. 

You chose to forgo the furniture, instead pulling out various chintzy cushions and scattering them across the wooden floorboards on the protruding circular platform. Garreth flopped down onto them with a shake of a blanket, beckoning you into his arms. Warmth filled your chest as you snuggled up to him, watching the last of the sunset in silence until the moon and stars turned the light a colder hue.

“It’s beautiful tonight,” you murmured, shuffling your head against his shoulder.

“Do you like it?” he asked.

“I do. And no, I never did anything like this with anybody else.”

Garreth gave you an apologetic smile as you looked up at him, eyes twinkling in the dim glow. The way he kissed you now was much different than the feverish battle of tongues you’d exchanged in the empty classroom earlier. The brush of his lips was tender, restrained. They still set your pulse racing and core aching, but your heart fluttered along with them. Was it too soon to say those three little words?

You stashed the thought for another time—there would be plenty, with any luck. If the moments were even half as wonderful as this, you’d consider yourself the luckiest person alive. His warm hands were busy caressing your cheek as you pulled apart, his lips placing sweet kisses on your forehead before meeting your eyes.

“I wish we’d done this years ago,” he said, all joking aside and not a hint of insincerity in his voice.

“Me too, but we’re here now.”

There was no shortage of topics of conversation, though you knew practically everything about Garreth already. You talked about your families and their reactions when they found out about your involvement; likely it would be similar to Natty and Nellie’s responses of ‘finally’. Garreth pulled out the tea set when the temperature began to dip, boiling the water right in the teapot with a flick of his wand before pouring two cups of the herbal brew. Slight citrusy hints filled your mouth and you sighed happily as you sipped your tea and gazed at the stars, not wondering which constellations were visible but simply enjoying their beauty.

The perfect evening unfortunately had to come to an end as curfew approached, and the thought of returning to your own bed weighed heavily on your mind. Garreth seemed to notice the shift in your mood and gave you a questioning look and warm smile as he packed away the cushions.

“I…it would be nice to fall asleep next to you,” you admitted.

“Oh! It would. I mean, I’d love that, too. You’re more than welcome to, I just didn’t know if you were comfortable with everyone knowing that…”

“I think they can probably guess.”

“You’re probably right,” he chuckled. “I would love you to sleep with me tonight. In my bed, I mean…er, no pressure.”

It was your turn to laugh at his bashfulness, planting a kiss on his cheek.

“We’ll see, won’t we?”

Garreth grinned, gripping your hand, leading you down the stairs and stashing the basket hurriedly behind a large crate of old telescopes. Despite his assurances, he was clearly eager to continue the evening in private, in the comfort of his bed, curtains tightly drawn. Down the stairs you flew, giggling in response to his excitable bounding. This was really happening. Again. Except this time you'd be tucked up under his duvet rather than lain across grass.

You were practically giddy, until your fun was cut short by a familiar cackle. Peeves flew over your head, clearly gleeful that he'd found some students to harrass.

"It's nearly curfew, you two. Will you make it back to Gryffindor tower? Hah! I don't think so!" he said in a sing-song voice.

"Bugger off, Peeves. We're on our way back now," Garreth said, gripping your hand.

The poltergeist tutted, swooping through a wall and out of sight without another word. You should have been relieved, but the look on Garreth's face mirrored your own—suspicion. Peeves wasn't one to give up so easily. Picking up the pace, you skipped down the corridor, pushing through doors with unnecessary force. You had a few minutes to spare, and would be back in the common room just in time—or so you thought.

The whump to the back of your head destroyed those thoughts on impact, and the cold, wet, slimy sensation that covered your skull had you gasping for air from sheer shock. Garreth's exclamation beside you told you he'd had the same experience, and your hands pulled apart to tend to the mess on your heads.

“Peeves!” you shouted down the corridor after the mischievous poltergeist as Garreth shushed you. “Fuck…”

Whatever the menace had been carrying was utterly foul. Stinking, oozing, sticky sap that coated your hair and slid down the back of your neck like a cold flobberworm. Garreth hadn’t gotten off any lighter, his gorgeous copper locks now flattened under the weight of the greyish sludge.

“I think I might be sick from the smell if I don’t get this off,” he muttered, freckled face screwed up in a grimace.

Your wand was out before he’d finished speaking, uttering simple vanishing and cleaning spells. The result was less than desirable—whether because of your lack of aptitude of domestic charms or because the ooze was somehow resistant to magic, you weren’t sure, but the residue left on your skin was still incredibly unpleasant and pungent.

“We’re going to need a bath, I think,” you sighed.

“Maybe we can take one together,” Garreth said with a cheeky smile.

“That sounds…uncomfortable.”

“Not if we use the prefect’s bathroom.”

You quirked an eyebrow at him as your hands stilled from rubbing at your skin, wondering if he’d really thought through his suggestion. The twinkle in his eye he often got when he was excited about something was back, his sticky hand finding yours and lacing your fingers together with an uncomfortable squelch. He wasted no time in whisking you off towards the faculty tower with long strides that had you skipping to keep up with.

“Don’t you need a password to get in there…?” you asked breathlessly as you approached the corridor.

“Hm? Oh, it’s been the same for ages. I overheard my aunt tell Nellie at the beginning of the year and I’ve been using it ever since.”

“What? Well you kept that quiet.”

“I can’t give away all my secrets, can I?” he grinned.

“Well, I think you just did.”

“You’re my girlfriend now; there are certain perks.”

There certainly were, and as he muttered the password and the magic lock sprung open, you added this one to your ever-growing list.

Both you and Garreth had no time or inclination to be prefects, or even be considered for the role. In fact, it was safe to say that you were the very last people the faculty would have entrusted such roles to, but as your eyes fell upon the opulent bathroom you felt a pang of jealousy—perhaps there was something to be said for it after all. 

You’d never seen anything quite like it, and weren’t sure it could be classified as a bathroom at all. The bath looked more like a swimming pool; at least ten metres long and lined with gold taps in the shape of various fish. Lucky that there were such an array of taps, since the bath would surely take hours to fill otherwise. 

Garreth was already busy turning them on with a flick of his wand, jets of water shooting out in different colours with bubbles and floral scents filling the room. Your mouth was still agape, and you blinked, turning to lock the door before discarding your wand. 

His hands were all over you before it hit the tile, grabbing needily at your flesh as your clothes were discarded. You'd never been naked in front of Garreth before, and your nerves settled uncomfortably in the pit of your stomach. You needn't have worried, as with every item of clothing that slid off your skin, Garreth's lustful moans intensified, his fingertips digging almost painfully into your behind. He himself didn't disappoint, and the glimpses you'd occasionally caught of his midriff were just a hint to the firm and freckled torso that lay beneath his shirt.

Garreth was broad and strong—he had the look of a man who could easily pick you up and throw you about, which he decided to demonstrate by doing just that. Grabbing both cheeks, he pulled you up to his waist, your legs falling around him to hang on as your yelp of shock echoed through the bathroom. Garreth grinned as he carried you over to the water, taking great care when descending the steps until you were waist-high in the hot, fragrant water.

The taps turned off as the water reached the top of the great sunken pit, a smart bit of magic presumably added to stop the bath from overflowing and flooding the whole room. The only sound remaining was the gentle swish of water and the wet smack of your lips as you kissed Garreth, still clinging to his body. You didn't want to move; the gentle undulation of the water as it settled and weightlessness you felt was so incredibly relaxing that you lost yourself completely in the moment. 

"Mmm…is that butterbeer?" Garreth said after a while, sniffing the air.

It was. The sweet unidentified scent of the bath bubbles reminded you of the beverage and you nodded and grinned as Garreth tested a lick of the foam in his fingers.

"Okay, it doesn't taste like it."

"Disappointing. Maybe you can concoct a bubble bath that does."

The cogs in his brain started whirring, and you knew you had to distract him before he became too engrossed in the idea. Unwrapping yourself from his waist, you floated in the water for a few seconds, looking around at the sides of the bathtub. The stairs which you'd been carried down looked like a good place to perch, so you pulled Garreth gently by the hand to settle against the tiled wall, slinging his arm behind you.

"You're…so beautiful, you know," Garreth whispered as your head fell against his shoulder. "I've always thought so."

Your heart pounded in your chest as you tilted your head to look up at him, sliding a hand to cup his cheek. 

"I thought the same about you."

All those days, weeks, months being merely friends when you could have been so much more. Those three little words were on the tip of your tongue once more as you gazed into his eyes, wet hair falling onto his forehead to frame them. You thought he might be thinking the same thing, as his lips parted and a gentle 'I…' left his mouth, but he seemed to reconsider as you had done, instead pressing those lips to yours to convey the message wordlessly.

A fire erupted in your heart, desire coursing through your veins as the hot water suddenly became stifling. You were pulled into Garreth's lap with those strong hands in a swift movement sided by the water, landing in his lap with a soft moan. The sound was captured by his mouth, exchanged with his own in mingled pleasure as his erection grew against your backside.

"Garreth…"

"Mmm?" he answered distractedly, palming your breasts as his mouth nibbled at the skin on your neck.

Your head spun with the heat and sensory overload, the gentle candlelight and dim glow of the enchanted lanterns dimming in your vision as everything shifted out of focus.

"It's… too hot in here."

Garreth's attack on your neck ceased as he looked at you; deciding that it would be better to get you out of the water, he lifted you again onto the side of the bath. The cool air bit your skin in the best way, instantly reinvigorating you, as did the mouth that found itself between your parted legs.

"Oh, fuck, Garreth!"

He was still mostly submerged in the water, only his shoulders and head visible, as well as the hands that held your thighs with a vice-like grip. Moans of ecstasy filled the room and echoed off the tiles as his tongue swiped and swirled, sucked and thoroughly feasted on you. He looked to be enjoying himself as much as you had been whilst encasing his cock earlier that day; humming against your skin as he teased your swollen clit with expert ease. 

Your arms were weak from keeping your bodyweight up, but you endured the stinging of your muscles to watch Garreth. A flick of his eyes up at you through those stray copper strands and you were gone.

"I'm going to…oh shit, Garreth, I'm coming."

His fingers plunged inside your now soaking wet entrance as your walls contracted around them, gripping his digits with every mind-altering pulse that ripped through your body. It wasn't a moan that left your mouth, it was an animalistic growl. More. Garreth smiled against your folds as you wriggled away, your overly sensitive clit burning from his touch. More, please. You begged with your eyes, and he answered.

Finally you saw his form in its full glory, bathed in the dim glow you could see every chiseled muscle; his wide shoulders and strong arms, toned chest with the slight softness around his middle which made you want to bite his flesh, worshipping every inch of his delectable body. And oh, his swollen and touch-starved cock stood proudly against his abdomen, drawing forth a pool of saliva in your mouth.

"I don't think I can wait until we get back to the dormitory," he whispered, pressing himself between your legs.

"Me neither," you replied, removing your sore hands from the tile and wrapping them around his neck.

"You look so good wet," he muttered, almost entranced as his eyes scanned your naked body as he lined himself up with your soaking entrance.

"Mmmh, oh please…"

You didn't care if you sounded needy, because you were. Garreth moaned against your neck as he pushed the tip of his cock inside you, stretching you slowly. Every further inch was blissful; how you'd missed feeling so full. You drew your legs up fully, heels to your behind to take him as deep as you could. Incredible. Fantastic. Amazing. Words came to your mind but you had no ability to say them, instead settling for whimpered moans as Garreth began thrusting into you with a perfect, steady rhythm.

"Godric have mercy, you feel fucking incredible," Garreth moaned before resuming the gentle pressure just below your ear.

He'd leave a mark, but you didn't care. All the better, in fact; why shouldn't he claim you as his? You already were, completely and utterly. Your fingers found his damp hair, tugging gently in rhythm to the grind of his hips as he started hitting inside you just that little bit harder, then a little bit faster. That steady rhythm was fast dissolving into slightly erratic thrusts, pressing so deep you almost screamed. 

"That's it, fucking scream my name."

"Oh, shit, Garreth!"

You were clenching around his cock in anticipation of your orgasm, the pool of tension in your core close to exploding as your legs shook violently.

"Please tell me…you're on the potion now?" Garreth rasped breathlessly.

"I am," you gasped in reply. "Gods, I want you to come inside me."

Garreth growled, his eyes turning darker as they were consumed with lust, fucking you mercilessly as you shouted his name over and over again. You didn't care if every prefect in the school came bursting in the bathroom, as long as he didn't stop. 

"F-fuck...I'm going to fill you up until you're dripping my cum down your thighs…"

"Garreth…"

You reached your climax with a wail, fingernails digging into the back of his neck and shuddering breaths that couldn't seem to catch a single gulp of the chilly air. Garreth's cock twitched and his own orgasm exploded, forceful ejaculation shooting his load inside you in thick ropes. 

His thrusts slowed to a gentle grinding of his hips as the pleasure ebbed away and you were left panting and messier than when you'd entered the bathroom. Garreth broke into a grin as your eyes met, and you were just thankful that he didn't apologise again, returning the smile with one of your own.

"That was incredible," you sighed, pushing damp strands of hair off of your face.

"It was. Bloody amazing," he grinned.

"I'd better get back in the bath to clean off," you said, kissing the tip of his nose.

You took your time washing, exchanging sweet kisses and tending to each other's hair until your fingers wrinkled like prunes. There was the tiny matter of sneaking back to Gryffindor tower way after curfew to contend with, but even a detention for being out of bounds could taint what had been the most perfect night, sticky ooze and all.

you've been dating your boyfriend satoru for quite some time now, and you had to admit, it was pure bliss. his childish demeanor and carefree personality made him extremely easy to be around and trust with your feelings, and you truly loved him.

However, when the two of you had started dating, you informed satoru of your views on sex, and how you wanted to wait until you had been in a relationship for a while. you believe that sex is a very intimate connection between two people, and how you hate that its so overlooked and discarded.

luckily, satoru happily complied, for he was just happy to call you his girlfriend. he never wanted to risk making you uncomfortable or upset with him. however, that didn't change the fact that he loved to fantasize about you in all sorts of ways. he wanted you so bad, he wanted to have that deep bond with you that having sex with someone creates. so, he would wait for you.

yesterday, you and your boyfriend had discussed the topic of sex, since the next day would be your 1 year anniversary. as you got into bed together, you turned toward satoru. "hey, satoru..? I wanna tell you something, its kinda important.." you said sheepishly, semi-nervous to talk about the topic. "Hm? whats wrong my love?" gojo flipped on his side, facing back at you. you started anxiously messing with the bed covers as you spoke, "i uhm... i think i might.." you stumbled through your sentences. "It's okay, doll, use your words." your boyfriend replied, gently cupping your cheek with his hand. "I'm ready to.. have sex with you, satoru." his face lit up, a smile slowly creeping onto his lips. he was so so happy, he couldn't express his joy through words, so instead he pulled you ontop of him and started kissing you all over your face and hugging you tightly. After he was done with his little love attack, he smiled and looked at you eagerly.

"sooooo does that include tonight?"

"satoru its already midnight, wait till tomorrow I'm sleepy."

He let out a childish 'awwwwwww' and placed you back in your spot on the bed. you turned of your lamp and kissed your boyfriend goodnight.

"goodnight darling." he whispered

"goodnight baby." you whispered back

Its now the next morning, and you are woken up to see satoru already awake, eagerly waiting for you to wake up. you notice a vase full of lucsious pink roses, lilies, and snapdragons on your bedside table, with a little white ribbon wrapped around the vase and a tag that says "to y/n, love your boyfriend~!" in satoru's hands, there was a small bag from the convinience store

"Happy one year, y/n! I don't know what I'd do without you, youve made me the happiest person in the world, my love." he leaned down to kiss you, as you were still laying down. you stood up out of bed and kissed your boyfriend on the forehead, having to get up on your tippy-toes to reach it. "Happy one year, satoru!" you smiled at him. you then directed your attention toward the bag from the convience store. "whats in here?" you asked, as your hand reached out to peek inside the bag. Satoru swiftly stopped you, grabbing your arm and raising it up, preventing you from opening it. "its a surprise for later honeyyyy no peaking!" he exclaimed with a childish tone. you rolled your eyes playfully and he set the bag down next to the table.

he then placed his around your waist, pulling you closer to him, his other hand on your chin. His demeanor was changed. you hadn't seen this side of your boyfriend- the lustful, passionate side that was absolutely crazy about you.

(nsfw starts here) ~<3

"you have no idea how long ive waited for this.." he muttered under his breath, shortly after pulling you into a loving kiss. you wrapped your arms around his neck, kissing him back shyly, nervous of messing up your first sexual experience with Satoru. he continued to deepen the kiss, picking you up and then sitting down on the side of the bed, placing you in his lap. he grasped the bottom of your shirt, look up at you for a nod of approval to remove it. as soon as you gave him consent, he swiftly pulled your top off of you, staring at your body in pure awe. you were his definition of ethereal, beautiful, stunning and everything in between. he moved his hands from your waist up to your breasts, fondling and gently playing with them. your face was red, as you let out quiet moans caused by your boyfriend's touch. he proceeded to unhook your bra, exposing your chest completely. at first you covered them, still feeling nervous about messing up around gojo. he looked up at you and gave you a reassuring "its alright baby, its just me." you eased up and uncovered them, and satoru proceeded to play with them. "fuck baby... I just love your body so much, I wanna touch you all dayy.." he muttered.

he then flipped the two of you over. Now you were underneath him, and his slim figure towered over you. he proceeded to take his shirt off, exposing his abs and well-toned body. you couldn't help but to stare, and he found that quite amusing. "see something you like darling? hmm?" he teased you playfully. he slowly started moving his hand down your body, gently running hsi fingers against your bare skin, untill he got down to your panties. you didnt have any bottoms on, since you slept in your underwear and a tee shirt. Satoru then moved his fingers in soft little circled around your clothed clit, absolutely adoring all the noises you were making. You moaned softly, inhaling sharply and biting your bottom lip, trying to not wake up the people in the apartment next to you. Gojo then moved his hand into your panties, slipping one finger inside you while using his thumb to play with your clit some more. He went back in to kiss you, to try and muffle your moans. "come on now.. baby.. don't wanna. wake the.. neighborsss ..~" he teased you, muttering each word between kisses.

After using his fingers to loosen you up a bit more, satoru pulled down his sweats and boxers to reveal his throbbing, hard dick. He'd been waiting so so long for this, and it felt like what was happening wasn't real for the both of you. he moved the seat of your panties to the side, rubbing his tip against your entrance. you looked up at him with desperate eyes, "please satoru. I need you so bad right now.."

Satoru didn't know what about that statement turned him on so much, but the next thing you know his entire length is fully inside you. you inhale sharply and moan, trying to contain your noises. "fuck, baby... you feel so good. I can feel you tightening up around my dick." he smirks at you, amused. before you can respond, gojo starts thrusting in and out of you, his hips hitting yours in a deep, steady motion. you grip the sheets tightly, as the burning sensation quickly turns into a feeling of absolute bliss and pleasure. gojo's dick hits your g-spot multiple times and you can feel him slowly start to pick up his pace.

"uhg, I love your pussy so much...I could fuck you all day long baby.." satoru moaned out softly, watching the area between your legs become an absolute mess. "I'm close baby.. were do you want me to cum?"

"cum inside me, please.."

"huh?" satoru questioned your response "baby, are you sure? like your positive.."

you cut him off. "I'm on the pill already baby, I take it to help with cramps! please just cum inside me!" you begged and pleaded him

"whatever you please, princess." he sped up a lot, his stroke getting sloppier and sloppier with each time his hips hit yours. The room is filled with sounds coming from the two of you- moaning, slapping, heavy breathing, grunting. You both reach your climax at the same time, feeling his hot cum fill up your pussy. He pulled out, and proceeded to lay down next to you.

"fuck baby.... I love you so much, you know that right?" he tells you, out of breath. "of course baby, I love you a lot too." He swiftly gets up, putting his boxers on. "Let me clean you up honey. I made quite a mess of you~" he jokes. "I'll start a bath for you baby. Oh! and that bag you were so interested in earlier? Its filled with your favorite chocolates. I thought it would be nice to have during aftercare" he smiled at you, picking up the bag and handing it to you as you sat on the edge of the bed. Your eyes lit up as you looked down at the assortment of chocolate inside the bag, picking out a raspberry jam square. You smiled at your boyfriend as he went to go into the bathroom to start your bath

"hey satoru?"

"yes my love?" he turned his head around

"I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

“Stop,” Sirius presses a hand against James' thigh to stop it from bouncing. He had been on edge all morning and had not shared a single reason why. Sirius thought he would combust at any second.

“Prongs. Stop staring,” Remus warns not even looking up from his book. He didn't need to. “'s not because she's your girlfriend now that you can act like a creep.”

You were across the hall, holding a conversation with some of your friends and James had not taken his eyes off of you in a while. It'd be okay if it was the loving gaze he usually wore for you, but now his eyes just screamed beaten-up puppy-on-the-street.

Peter snickered beside Remus. James gave them both a glare.

“Sorry my nervousness is bothering you all, I'll leave.”

“Aw, Prongs!” Sirius pushed his shoulders down locking him into the bench as he huffed pathetically. “C'mon. He's just joking,” Sirius gives Remus a look, who shrugs. “Look. Perhaps if you shared your issues then we might be able to—”

“I'm having dinner at her house tomorrow,” James sputtered out, munching on his cheek.

Sirius, Remus and Peter stopped whatever they were doing as if a bomb was about to be dropped at the corridor.

Oh.

Now it all made sense.

James was a mess of nerves because he would meet the parents. Her parents. The Malfoys. Sirius switched a look with Remus as Peter stumbled next to James whilst asking details of the dinner party. He sounded more excited than James himself, who, by the grimace in his face, looked like he might pass out.

“Wormtail,” Sirius cuts him off, folding his arms across his chest. “Give it a rest, alright? He's a ball of anxiety already.”

“Why?” Peter gazed up at James, “It means it's becoming more serious, right? Shouldn't you be happy? You say you want to marry her all the time—”

“Peter,” Remus has a softer demeanour, he acts before Sirius can kick Peter off of the Astronomy Tower for being pushy. “Let's change the subject, yeah?” They start to discuss the Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff match next Thursday, and it seems to work, because James is laughing of a stupid dark joke Remus made a few second later.

“Boys,”

James can smell your perfume before he hears your voice, that's why he knows you're arriving. The striking smell of saffron rose with a hint of cinnamon surrounds him in a safety net.

“Hi, please stop his madness,” Sirius mumbles at you as he scurried the other two away from the couple. James doesn't even notice they're gone when you sit down in front of him, offering a gentle smile.

“Hi, love. Everything okay?” You know the truth and you know the answer he will give you; but that's alright. You have a hunch. James has been nervous about meeting your family for quite a while now, ever since you made it official. You don't care about formalities, especially if the Malfoys are a part of it. What matters to you is that you and him get to enjoy each other as long as time allows — not need for overbearing family members getting into your business. Your brother Lucius was already doing a great job at it and you were just waiting on the opportunity to suffocate the prick in his sleep.

James beams at you but there's something behind that action. His amber orbs tell you everything you need to know through the lenses of his crocked glasses.

“Everything's perfect now that you're here,” he muttered, giving you a peck om the lips and another on your cheek. “How's your day going?”

You wish James knew that he didn't have to the rock in your relationship. You could be his, too. Anytime he needed.

“It's going alright,” you lift his glasses that were slipping down his nose as usual. You fingers lower to the nape of his neck and his shoulders immediately relax as you begin the work with your nails. “Jay,” you whisper softly when he leans his nose into your neck, burying his face there.

He hums to let you know he's listening. His hands caging around your waist.

“You don't need to be nervous,” you kiss his temple, playing with the baby hairs on the side of his ear. “It's just a dinner.”

His curls tickle the side of your face when he retracts to look at you, “I know.”

Raising an eyebrow, you ask, “Do you? Because it doesn't mean anything. We already are us. It's not you meeting my family that will make it real.”

“I know,” James huffs, pushing his hair back in frustration. You frown at him. It seemed as if he didn't get it. “It's not just the dinner. It's everything else that comes with it.”

“Jay—”

“No,” he shook his head, staring at his shifty hands on his lap. “It's not just dinner. I'm going to meet your parents. I'm going to meet the people who brought you into this world, who are very important to you. I know that you say that it won't matter if they don't like me. But what about later? When we—” he sucks in a sharp breath to stop himself from saying the rest. You wanted to hear it but he interrupts you again by your name dangling from his tongue. “You're not just Hogwarts for me, you know? You're not just now.”

Did he mean...

No. No, you're just—

“... you're the rest of my life.”

You eyes widen slightly.

James gives you a sad smile, “I know. It's too much. We're young and we shouldn't move fast, but— I love you. You know that, right? I do. I don't want anyone else. You're it, love. And if I disappoint the people that you care about... I will be disappointing you.”

You breath out slowly. You were raised to not react when you're caught off guard, the cold and numb expression was perfected through the years of living in the Malfoy Manor. James wasn't strange to the fact, he had watched this coldness close by, in his dormroom, during feasts, at classes; Sirius was the first to show to him the effects of living in a pureblood home. It was all too familiar when you reacted like this — or didn't react at all. Although the boy that brightened the day like the sun didn't realize, you've softened with him by your side. You weren't proud to admit that love had made you soft, but James Potter could have your heart any day and a smile at a single breath he took.

Because you loved him. And even if you enjoyed living in the present, you didn't think about anyone else, either. He was your now and you're almost convinced he's also your then.

You just needed to...

“Do you mean it?”

James gazes up at you, eyebrows pinching, “What I just said? Of course—”

“About me being the rest of your life. About us being it for you. Do you mean it, James?” Cause I can't do it if you don't mean it. My heart is already yours.

His eyes softened and a smile spread around his mouth. He nudged your hand into his and took it, pressing it against his lips.

“I mean it. Every word. I don't want or need anything else. Only you, love. Only you.”

You grin, throwing yourself into his arms. He chuckles, wrapping his arms around you in a tight hold. He never wanted to let you go and he intended to keep that promise until you were old and gray.

“I love you,” you said, muffled by your face buried in the croak of his neck. “I love you, James Potter. So much. You're it for me, too.”

This is when he splits you both apart to press his lips against yours in a kiss that translated all into desire, love and happiness.

“At least swallow each other in private. That is gross.”

You and James broke the kiss apart to turn to the person who interrupted your moment. Narcissa and Regulus Black were standing in the hallway, giving you looks of judgement. You let out a heavy sigh when you noticed the twitch in the corner of Regulus' mouth. He was messing with James. Menace. Narcissa didn't escape it either.

James was harshly fixing his clothes and Cissy seemed to be enjoying your boyfriend's franctic apologetic reaction for the mischief in her eyes.

“Stop.” You warned. They look at you and blink. “You're making him break a sweat, can you quit it?”

James eyes you apprehensively, in fear of you making it all worst previous to The Dinner, but when Narcissa begins to laugh and Regulus breaks out a smile, he studies the three of you confused.

You roll your eyes, “I'm going to crash your wedding, Cissy, and you, Reggie,” he gave you a scowl for the nickname. “I'll switch your shampoo, again. Make it red this time. You'll look pretty.”

“You're not funny,” he deadpanned. “Potter, I hope you know what you're in for.” Regulus directs the sentence to him and it's your turn to scowl. “She's a menace and she will make your life miserable. Run while you still can.”

“Run like you do from your problems?”

“No. Like you attempt to run from your daddy issues.”

James is at a loss of words. He knows dark humor, he lives with it — hi, moony — but he doesn't expect it to be such a common occurrence between you and your cousins as if you're having afternoon tea. You curse at each other as if your life depend on it and then...

Then, you're smiling and Regulus is walking towards you to kiss your forehead. James is getting a whiplash. Narcissa makes a sound of appreciation and puts a hand on his shoulder. Is he dying now? Is she murdering him for fun? In front of you?

“Well done, Potter,” she says, patting the spot. Her sharp eyes turn gentle for a second. “Keep her smiling like that.” It's a warning. And she leaves. Regulus, too. They follow to the end of the hall and disappear in a corner.

“Want to run off to the hills, yet?” she asks, giving him a contained smile. “You still have time.”

James surveys you for a moment, making you think he's actually pondering about it.

Merlin, he loved you. He was so happy it was reciprocated. He was so happy you felt the same. His heart was at easy now. Because it was alright if he wasn't perfect in the eyes of your family. It was alright if he didn't attend all the expectations that would certainly have. In the end, what really mattered, was you. By his side. For the rest of your lives.

He cups your cheeks and kisses you again, this time, softly.

“Why would I need time when I have what I want right here?”

Part.2<-

•Masterlist•

After poring my heart out to Daryl, which was about a week ago, he’s been slowly helping me let go and move forward, he would stay with me some nights to help with the night mares or he’d hear me scream at night and come over from his room to settle me, comfort me

I woke up seeing him laid on the couch by my bed still deep in sleep, he was so handsome, I don’t know what it is about him but he was breath taking to look at, as I looked at him that tingly feeling in my chest happened, still not knowing what that was I decided to maybe talk to Michonne about it later when I got the chance

I decided to let Daryl sleep more knowing he barely ever got a full nights rest, I placed another blanket over him and went to get ready in the bathroom, then going upstairs seeing them eating breakfast as usual

“Morning y/n!” Rick said smiling

“Morning” I said quietly as I sat down and started nibbling in a piece of toast, over this week I’ve been able to open up more with the people in the house I felt safe here

“Where’s Daryl?”

“Still asleep, I woke him up again” I said as I felt my cheeks heat up

Everyone went back to eating when Daryl came up rubbing his eyes groaning as he sat next to me

“Why didn’ ya wake me?”

“I wanted you to sleep” I said smiling feeling that overwhelming joy just being around him

He squeezed my shoulder before he dug into his plate of food

“Well we gotta head out on our run soon so when your done Daryl meet me outside” Rick said as he got up and left outside after he kissed Michonne

Daryl finished, got his crossbow

“Be careful” I said and he returned it with a little smile before he left

“I’m gonna go out with Enid so I’ll see you guys later” Carl said leaving just me Michonne and Judith

“Sooo how’s things going with Daryl?” Michonne asked as soon as everyone was gone, with a wide smile

“Umm good, I was meaning to ask you something” I said picking at my nails feeling those nervous bubbles in my stomach

“What is it sweetie?” She asked as she bounced a giggling Judith

“When I’m with Daryl, I get this feeling in my chest, like my heart starts beating faster and my stomach feels weird, even thinking about him I feel it……..but I don’t know what it is, what does it mean?” I asked feeling stupid

“Oh honey, you like him”

“Ya I know that I like all of you”

“No this is different you wanna spend all your time with him, be his girlfriend, share private moments together, you love him y/n, like how I love Rick” I was shocked

Is this what love feels like cause if it is I never wanted it to go away, he made me feel so special, so important, he never made me feel like I was doing something wrong or that I was a burden he made me feel…….feel loved

“Love….i love him?” I felt like I was floating but I quickly came back down at the realization that he might not feel the same

“But what if he doesn’t love me? I’ve never had that before so why would he?”

She gave me a sad look but her eyes were happy

“I know Daryl, he’s hard to read but I can tell by the way he looks at you, the way he gets you things because it reminded him of you, take your chance and tell him because we never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow” she said getting up patting my shoulder before she went to get ready with Judith for the day

As I worked in the gardens all day I kept thinking about Daryl, how do I tell him I’m not the greatest with words obviously, or how I’m feeling but then again when I’m with him it’s easy to talk to him about things

Michonne is right though, I don’t know what going to happen and if something happened to him or me and I never got to tell him, I’d regret it so I’ve decided next time we’re alone I’m telling him what’s the worst that’ll happen he doesn’t love me? Then atleast I have a friend still…..hopefully

The sun was starting to set and usually they would be back by now maybe they just got more supplies this time, I went back home bringing back some fresh tomato’s for Rick like he asked and placed them in the fridge, Michonne poured me a glass of wine and we sat on the couch waiting for them

“It’s been a while do you like they’re okay” I asked biting on my lip

“It’s Daryl and Rick I’m sure they just had to stay some where but I’m sure they’re fine, probably will be back by morning” she said as she took a sip of her wine

“So how are things with Rick?” I asked trying to make the subject not as gloomy

“Good, great even, I was able to calm him down a bit but I kinda like his crazy side, specially in bed” she said making me choke on the wine as my cheeks turned red

I never really talked or even thought much about that kinda stuff atleast I tried not to so I wasn’t sure even how to respond

“Sorry, do you not think of that stuff about Daryl? Nothing about him turns you all gooey” Of course I saw him as beyond handsome with his strong arms and the way he turned golden in the sun, or the way his voice would get deep in the morning made me feel a certain way but I didn’t know that was a turn on thing

“I mean I guess thinking about it everything about him makes me tingle and my head all fuzzy”

“Y/n you think he’s hot, that’s what being attracted to someone is”

“I’m learning so much I feel so far behind” I said embarrassed

“Don’t push yourself if this is all new take it at your own pace”

After we finished drinking and eating we said our goodnights and went to bed, I laid up thinking about Daryl missing his presence on the couch, I decided to sleep on the couch and when I laid down his smell was there making me feel comforted

I woke up early from another nightmare and without Daryl I couldn’t go back to sleep so I walked out the front door and sat on the porch steps enjoying to cool morning breeze as the sky was bright orange and pink from the sunrise that’s when I heard the rumbling of a car pull up in front of the house and out came Rick and Daryl

Before I could even think I got up and ran into his arms holding him tight as I felt his arms wrap around my waist

“I was so worried are you okay?” I asked as I pulled back to look at him, he was a little dirty but that was normal other than that he seemed fine

“ ‘m okay, got blocked by walkers couldn’ risk it” he said squeezing my hips

“I have to talk to you……alone” I said as I saw Rick watching us smiling

“I’ll just go seeing Michonne and the kids” he said as he threw a bag over his shoulder and going inside after he patted Daryl shoulder

“So what goin on?” Daryl asked as we sat on the porch steps

“I was talking to Michonne…….i needed to ask her what this feeling was when I’m around you and she told me I should tell you because this world is never guaranteed so I’m just gonna say it and if you don’t feel the same it’s okay so here goes…….Daryl I love you, a lot” his eyed became squinted and he didn’t say anything making these nerves even worse

Before he said anything Carol came walking up the sidewalk interrupting us

“Hey Daryl you’re back how was it?” She asked, I was so embarrassed I wanted to shut myself off again so I got up and went inside leaving them alone to chat, Rick and Michonne were standing there smiling which only made the tears build up more as I ran downstairs to my room closing the door

I knew it, this was a mistake

Phoning

Part 3 of 5. Check here for more details.

Monday 21:57

Things haven't been quite the same There's a haze on the horizon, babe It's only been a couple of days and I miss you

Your thoughts still linger on the conversation you had yesterday.

"It won't always be this way, baby. I promise. It might take years, but this is worth fighting for."

As much as you felt reassured by her words, you can't hold back that feeling of longing. That wistfulness.

You wish you could wake up to her every morning. You wish you could be backstage at each one of her shows or support her at each one of her rehearsals. You wish you didn't have to talk through a screen every night, though you were grateful for every second that you could.

In other words, you miss her. A lot.

"Did you like the breakfast I made you? I was in a bit of a rush, but I hope it was still ok."

"It was perfect, baby. You're the sweetest. Thanks again! Wish you woke me up before you left, though."

"Well, I did give you a kiss before leaving. Thought you'd wake up, but I guess you were too tired."

"You did?"

"Mmhmm."

Damn it. Why didn't you wake up?

"Well, when you come on Saturday I'll kiss you back."

"You better."

"And I'll make you breakfast, too! Anything you want in particular?"

"I'll love whatever you make. I just want to be home with you."

"Aww, look at you being all sweet, bro."

The way she squeals, cringing at her own words.

"Hey, why are you hiding!"

Even with her face behind her hands, she's glowing. And you're in love.

A few minutes of laughter pass. Then that feeling in your chest returns as you realize she has to go.

"Hey, I have an early day tomorrow, so I should probably get some sleep."

"Ok. Sleep well, love. I miss you. I can't wait for you to come back home."

You wish you didn't have to say those words anymore.

"It's only been a day! You miss me already?"

"I don't know. It must be some side effect of loving you."

"That's probably why I miss you, too."

Tuesday 22:23

When nothing really goes to plan You stub your toe or break your camera I'll do everything I can to help you through

After another long day, there's nothing better than hearing her voice again.

"Hey, cutie! How are you?"

The way she drives you crazy within five seconds of picking up the phone. Through the blushing and the giggles you manage to reply.

"Hey, sweetie. I'm good! Just had a lot to do today, so I'm pretty tired. How about you?"

"Same. I could really go for some ice cream right now. And I wish you were here."

"I'd feed you all the ice cream you want if I were there, baby."

What you wouldn't give to be by her side right now.

"Oh! I should get you some for when you come home this weekend. Any requests?"

"Mmm, surprise me! You know my favorites anyway."

"You're my favorite, Minji-yah~."

As much as she knows how to pull at your heartstrings, you know how to get her right back. And you love the way she looks when she's shy.

"I dropped my phone today, by the way."

"Oh no! How did it happen?"

"I was just being dumb."

"But you didn't hurt yourself, right?"

"No, but the screen's all cracked. You still look just as pretty through the broken glass, though. How do you do that, Minji-yah?"

"Shut up, babe."

But she's smiling as she says it. You know she loves when you call her that. And yet with one look at the way her eyes light up, it's you that's falling for her all over again.

"I bet it's not even broken. You were just looking for an excuse to set up that line."

"As if I need an excuse to call you pretty, pretty girl."

"Oh my gosh, go to sleep. I can't deal with you right now."

"But I don't wanna! I wanna spend more time with my girlfriend."

"You said you were tired!"

"I'll never get tired of you, though."

She buries her head in her hands and you find it absolutely adorable.

"You make everything better, Kim Minji."

Wednesday 23:54

If you're feeling down, I just wanna make you happier, baby Wish I was around, I just wanna make you happier, baby

"Hey, it's getting late! Aren't you sleepy yet?"

"No, not really."

"How much coffee did you have today?"

"Probably too much."

"Minji-yah, even Bunnies are telling you to drink less!"

"I know. But I wanna be able to stay up with you. Spending time with you at night makes me so happy."

You want to continue chiding her but your fluttering heart chokes back any words that try to escape your mouth.

"By the way, how did you know that Bunnies have been telling me to drink less coffee?"

"Um, cuz I'm a Bunny, too, you know. I'm always on Phoning reading the chats. Did you forget that I'm your biggest fan, baby?"

"Well, I just didn't think you'd pay that much attention to the little things."

"It's the little things that make me love you even more, Minji. The way you're so sweet and kind to everyone. The way you look out for your fans and make sure to support them. You're incredible."

"Yah."

A little flustered, she struggles to find the right counter to your attack. In the end she resorts to the simple words that knock you out every single time.

"I love you."

"I love you, baby bear. Speaking of love, I remembered you said in one of your Phoning calls that 'love' is one of your favorite words."

"Mmhmm. 'With love, anything is possible.' I said something like that, right?"

You nod.

"I thought that was really cute."

"I was thinking about us when I said that."

Thursday 23:48

We've been doing all this late night talking 'Bout anything you want until the morning Now you're in my life, I can't get you off my mind

"It's almost midnight, babe. Sleeping soon?"

"It's hard sleeping without you. I just wanna cuddle."

Her pouting makes you want to punch something and scream. Damn, she's so adorable.

"Just cuddle with Hanni! I saw you two in your latest video."

You pout back.

"Aww, is my baby jealous?"

Yes. Yes, you were.

"No! What makes you think that?"

"You can't hide it from me, cutie. Don't worry, though. It's almost Saturday. I'll be there to spoon you soon enough. Then you won't have to be jealous of Hanni."

"Hey! I wasn't jealous, though..."

"You really are cute. Here, hold my hand."

She holds out her hand in front of the camera, then squeezes the air. You do the same.

"You have really pretty hands. Have I told you that before?"

"Why are you being so sweet? Are you trying to kill me, bro?"

"You do the same to me all the time. It's only fair."

"I adore you, Minji-yah."

"Right back at you, bro. Hey, we should probably try and sleep now. Before you know it, it'll be 3:00 in the morning."

"Just like the Hype Boy lyric."

"Baby~"

She got you feeling so crazy.

Friday 21:36

Can't get you off my mind Can't get you off my mind I won't even try to get you off my mind

"Look what I bought today! I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Aww, that's so cute! I love its little nose. Almost as cute as yours."

Making her shy once again, she holds the bunny up to cover her face slightly.

"What should we name it?"

"How about 'Tokki'? Simple is best."

"That sounds good. What about you? Can I call you 'bunny'?"

The sudden attack catches you off guard. It seems your calls this week have just been filled with attempts to assassinate each other with affection. You struggle to respond.

"Since you call me 'baby bear', I'll call you 'bunny'."

You're still too busy dying to answer her.

"I'll take that as a 'yes', then."

She has a smirk on her face, knowing she got you good. You can only nod.

"How was your day, baby? What did you do? Were you happy today?"

"Um, I watched some of your videos. So, yes, I was very happy."

"Oh, what did you watch?"

"I rewatched your ELLE photoshoot and I lost my mind. Again! How are you so pretty, Minji-yah? Like, it should be illegal for someone to be that beautiful. My chest was hurting for thirteen minutes straight!"

She giggles in response.

"How's my girlfriend so amazing?"

"You're amazing, baby."

For a few moments you just smile at each other, love swelling in your eyes. Then you feel it in your heart as you realize you'll see her tomorrow.

"I can't wait to see you, Minji. I still owe you that kiss."

"And I can't wait for my breakfast."

"Wow. So you're not excited to see me? You just want food?"

"Yup, I'm just in it for the ice cream, actually."

You try to put on a disappointed look, but just thinking about being with her again has you smiling relentlessly.

"In fact, I'm so excited for it that I'm going to sleep now, so I can get there early tomorrow. Tokki says 'good night'!"

"Good night, Tokki! And good night, Minji baby. I love you so much!"

"I love you more, my bunny! I'll see you in the morning."

And you know you'll see the morning before you get any sleep. Because you just can't get her off your mind.

BOOTS AND BROKEN HEARTS

Previous Parts: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3

Summary: Alessia and her UNC coach Willa have a bit too much chemistry. Only downside is that Willa has a girlfriend.

CHAPTER 4

The first game of the season was against Providence College, it was a very tight game and Willa approached Anson telling him they needed to put on Alessia. At half time Willa thought maybe he would make the change, she was visibly frustrated when the change wasn’t made and she stood by the bench with her jaw clenched. Alessia couldn’t help but stare at her coach, she looked really good pissed off. At the 55th minute Willa walked over to Anson and they appeared to have a somewhat heated discussion, Willa smirked and turned to Alessia. “Go warm up.” Willa won the battle to get Alessia on, it was ridiculous that she wasn’t on the pitch to begin with but now they would get some of that hard football that they needed. As soon as Alessia was on the pitch the whole game changed. UNC were pressing forward and keeping the pressure on Providence, Alessia watched a cross come in and got a header in, but it was just saved by the keeper. She groaned in frustration, “Less keep it going you got it!” She heard Willa from the sidelines. Willa was sat with a few of the other players talking them through the game when Alessia had a shot that was deflected by the keeper and scored off the rebound by Julia Ashley. The team celebrated but Alessia was slightly worried that she would remain on the bench after helping her other striker get the winning goal. After the game Willa found the blonde girl after their meeting and she had a change to shower and get changed. “Well done.” Willa leant up against the wall of the hallway, “I didn’t score Willa.” Willa shrugged. “You got the assist.” Alessia sighed, “Yeah off my shot.” Willa put her arm around the girl’s shoulder and lead her down the hallway. “Oh young one, don't worry, a few sessions with me and you will understand why you had a phenomenal game.” Alessia shoved Willa in the side with a slight smile. “You are annoying, teach me to score and I might think you are less annoying.” Willa laughed. “I will work you hard just so you know. Goodnight Alessia, celebrate and I will see you tomorrow at 10.” Willa stopped by her office and Alessia waved to her coach as she headed back to her dorm. There was an undeniable tension between the two of them, there was clear flirtation in each conversation that neither of them were going to cut back on. 

The following morning Willa got some Gatorade and water ready for the session, she set up some mannequins and cones then waited for the gorgeous blonde to come by. Alessia checked how she looked in the mirror before she walked onto the field, she wore her UNC shorts and training shirt with her Nike boots. As she walked onto the grass she saw her coach standing there in a UCLA training shirt and shorts. “What the hell Willa! You do know you are at UNC right? Can’t just walk around in UCLA crap.” Alessia laughed and Willa looked down at her shirt. “This looks way better on me than that sky blue, royal blue all the way princess.” She kicked a ball to Alessia, “Start warming up and no complaints.” After a minute Willa joined Alessia in warm up so she wasn’t lonely, they chatted about the game briefly during the warm up. They shifted into some ball work, going around cones and quick changes of movement. Willa was impressed by Alessia’s ball skills and the way the ball would do whatever she wanted like it was on a string. “Next drill, back to the mannequins then turn and shoot.” Alessia did the drill with ease, she needed some real pressure. Willa moved the mannequins while Alessia had a much needed drink, she then put on her boots and grabbed a few balls. Willa waited on the edge of the 18 yard box for Alessia who soon followed. “Okay, it’s you up against me now.” She tossed a ball to Alessia who smirked. “Do I get punished when I kick your ass?” Willa laughed. “Yeah you will be benched again.” Alessia gasped and shoved Willa. “Not funny.” She put the ball at her feet, Alessia began coming towards Willa who followed each movement Alessia made but didn’t make a tackle. It was hard for Alessia to be able to make any ground, she was used to players diving in to tackle and going around them. They seemed to be doing this dance for a few minutes before Willa closed the gap and tapped the ball slightly away from Alessia then took it a few metres down the field. “You got lazy there Russo, take me on.” She passed the ball back. Alessia found it hard to get used to the style of defence that Willa was doing and soon just used her body to block the ball. Alessia pressed her back into the front of Willa who put one hand on Alessia’s waist to hold her slightly. Alessia tried to turn but Willa was right there like velcro on her. Their bodies were pressed right against each other, able to feel every movement, both of them very aware of each twitch of their muscles but trying to focus. Alessia went to turn and Willa got the ball and Alessia fell over her leg. “Ugh what the hell?! How do you do that?” She laid back on the grass frustrated, Willa laughed at her reaction. “Well princess I can tell exactly what you are going to do. Use my body as a way to predict.” She held her hand out and pulled the striker up. “Turn around.” Alessia followed her instruction and suddenly felt Willa’s body against her and hands on her hips. “Use these to turn me. Push back to get me off balance, that will give you a few seconds of peace from me.” Alessia struggled to focus feeling Willa’s hands on her hips then it clicked what she was asking, to push her ass against her to turn her, it would be rude not to listen to her coach. Willa kept her hands on Alessia’s hips, Willa then felt the striker push back into her, sending her stepping back, this gave Alessia the opportunity to turn and have a shot on goal. Alessia turned with a smirk, “Well I guess you do know a thing or two about this football thing.” Willa stepped closer to the blonde, “There is a lot I know about this football thing.” They looked into each other’s eyes for a minute before Willa stepped back and cleared her throat. “Um good work Russo, film session later today.” She turned and began packing up, Alessia collected herself. “Yeah thanks, see you then.” She quickly headed back to her dorm and laid down on her bed.

Lotte watched as Alessia flopped onto her bed and covered her face with her hands. “How was your little private session with Willa?” Lotte smirked and Alessia groaned. “Ahhh yes that sounds phenomenal. Did you say actual words with her or just speak in grunts while you drooled all over her?” Lotte laughed and Alessia just gave her the finger. After a few minutes Alessia sat up and gave a recount of the training, their bodies together and the flirting. “Holy shit Alessia! She is so into you!” Alessia ran her fingers through her hair. “She has a girlfriend and she is amazing but again she has a girlfriend.” Alessia looked over at Lotte. “Look something is clearly going on between you two, you could keep going the way you are and just bide your time or you can shut it down. Only you can decide Less.” Lotte looked at her friend sympathetically. After their classes Lotte and Alessia walked into the theatre Willa was sat up the back in her usual spot with her notebook, Lotte gently pushed Alessia, “Go sit with your girl.” She whispered and went to sit with Lois. Alessia fixed her hair and sat next to Willa, “Hey Coach.” Willa smiled up at the blonde girl. “Well hello there Russo.” Willa shifted her body to face more towards Alessia. Anson spoke to the girls about the upcoming game, the previous UNC game started playing on the projector. Willa whispered tactics to Alessia, as the game continued Willa put her leg against Alessia’s. Neither of them made an attempt to move, Alessia put her hand on Willa’s thigh, “Just wondering, if I was going to cut back in that situation would I do what we did this morning and fake going down the line?” Willa looked down at Alessia’s hand and swallowed hard, she could only answer with a nod. Alessia smirked and moved her hand as she sat back, she knew what she was doing was very wrong but technically nothing had happened between them…yet.

A few weeks had passed, Willa was able to see Jennifer a couple of times but to be honest the reception to her being there was cold. Jennifer was so focused on hanging out with some of her teammates, some more than others. Willa threw herself into her work with the team which included multiple sessions with different players, none were as tension filled as the ones with Alessia. She and the striker were always pressed against each other during the trainings and finishing the sessions catching their breath but not from the running. The team were on the plane headed to Notre Dame for what was promising to be a tough game, Alessia and Willa exchanged looks throughout the flight. Once they were at the field, Willa brushed past Alessia, probably a few too many times as they got ready for the game. Alessia didn’t complain once and even a few times she made sure to be in her coach’s way. When the game started it didn’t take long for Alessia to make an impact, not even a minute in and Alessia lost her player and was able to header the ball into the back of the net. Alessia ran over to the sidelines and hugged her teammates, everyone began walking back to reset and Alessia winked at Willa making the coach’s heart race. Notre Dame equalised after 10 minutes and the girls dropped their heads slightly. At half time Willa stood in the middle of the players. “Keep pushing, that goal came from a lack of concentration. Remember those sessions in the Carolina heat, you pushed hard and fought for each other. Keep going and we have this!” The girls headed back out onto the pitch pumped up for the next half. Alessia came off in the 75th minute looking frustrated, Willa came over and patted Alessia on the back. “You are only getting a couple minutes off Alessia then I want you pressing those defenders. Pretend it's me in our sessions, use your body and don’t be afraid to shoot.” Alessia locked eyes with Willa and nodded. True to her word it was only a few minutes and Alessia was back on, again within two minutes Alessia made an impact, she had a shot on the keeper which rebounded to Freshman Taylor Otto who smashed it into the back of the net. The team was elated when the final whistle blew and began celebrating in the middle of the field. Once they were back in the change rooms the music was blaring, the players were dancing with a disco light strobing in the room. Alessia snuck away from the main group to find the coach standing to one side laughing. “Did you see my goal?” Alessia looked at her coach. “Of course I did. You really put a show on for me didn’t you?” Willa put her cap on and leaned in to whisper in Alessia’s ear, “In a few days you and I have a game to watch. Make sure you bring your tissues.” She left Alessia standing there as she watched Willa leave the room. 

The flirting between the two intensified on their way to Syracuse, Alessia made sure to bend over while Willa was close by and brushing against her coach whenever she could. At the game Alessia didn’t score but she did find herself sitting next to Willa on the plane ride home. They watched a movie together, Willa picked ‘Goal!’ Alessia only complained about having to watch a movie about Newcastle United for 10 minutes before Willa quieted her down with some snacks. Alessia rested her head on Willa’s shoulder and soon fell asleep. When they landed Willa gently touched Alessia’s hand that was resting on her thigh. “Hey princess, wake up.” Alessia groaned and sat up, she rubbed her eyes and then looked at Willa. “Well I seem to have wasted my flight haven’t I?” She got up and grabbed her things as they exited the plane. Conveniently for Willa, Jennifer didn’t seem to notice Willa’s new found focus because she too was focused on another footballer, Alanna Kennedy. There were rumours circulating that there was something more than friendly between the two, they had been snapped dancing together in clubs and getting close at training, this was squashed each time by Jennfier explaining that she was just friends and she had no one at her new team. Willa just accepted Jennifer’s explanation and moved on. 

The morning of the Newcastle United v Manchester United game Willa sent Alessia a picture of her in a Newcastle United shirt and shorts. Alessia checked if anyone was around and went to her wardrobe and grabbed her Manchester United jersey and went into the bathroom. She had on very short soccer shorts with the jersey and you could only just see the bottoms of them. Alessia held up the hem of the jersey slightly so you would be able to see the band of her shorts. She took the picture and sent it through to her coach with the message, ‘Red is such a nicer colour’ Willa stared at the picture before getting a call from Anson, she had to do a few things for Anson ready for their next game. There was a few hours before the game for her to kill with the work Anson needed done, she could do it before seeing Alessia, but she forgot to respond to the blonde striker. Alessia had spent the last three hours since she sent the message in a silent panic, maybe she took it too far and Willa was freaked out. She was pacing in her room and Lotte was starting to get worried, “Okay what is going on? You are going to wear a hole in the carpet.” Alessia groaned, “I messed up.” She sat on the end of Lotte’s bed. “I sent something to Willa.” She handed her phone to Lotte, the defender’s eyes widened as she saw the image. “Oh wow. At least it is a great pic.” Lotte handed the phone back. “I am sure you aren’t the first player to have a crush on a coach, you will be fine with the team, you won’t be kicked off or anything.” Alessia looked at Lotte. “I didn’t even think of getting kicked off the team! I was just thinking of having to face Willa for the Newcastle and Manchester game!” Alessia laid back on Lotte’s bed and covered her eyes. “Just leave me here to die.” She groaned and Lotte laughed. “At least you had clothes on.” It was little consolation for Alessia knowing the coach had definitely seen the picture. Willa checked her phone 30 minutes prior to the game starting, she noticed she hadn’t replied. ‘Sorry for the late reply princess had to quickly do some work. But yes you do look great in red, see you soon.’ Alessia felt a wave of relief sweep over her as she re-read the text and rushed over to the theatre where Willa was waiting. 

There was a moment of silence when Alessia walked into the theatre and saw Willa standing there in her Newcastle shirt. “God, you need to get rid of that.” Alessia grabbed the hem of the shirt. “You need to get rid of that.” Willa replied and grabbed the hem of Alessia’s jersey. They stood there looking at each other until the whistle from the game interrupted them. “Wanna sit?” Willa grabbed Alessia’s hand and took her to the middle rows where some food was set up. They cheered and bickered during the game, at half time Willa groaned. “If they bloody had defenders willing to track back we would be fine.” She put on her cap backwards and leant back with her hands on her head. “Just convert Willa, trust me it would be less suffering to go for Manchester.” Alessia smirked. “Read my lips Alessia, there is no way in the world that I would wear that god awful Manchster United kit, I'd sooner wear Middlesbrough.” Willa leant in with a smirk and Alessia bit her lip. Willa couldn’t resist anymore, this girl was constantly on her mind, she leant in and connected their lips. Alessia immediately put her hand on the back of Willa’s neck to deepen the kiss, Willa grabbed Alessia and guided her onto her lap, sliding her hands up the striker’s thighs. Their lips moved together in perfect sync, small moans escaping both of their mouths, three months of teasing had finally led to this moment. Willa made her way down Alessia’s neck planting kisses and digging her fingers into Alessia’s thighs. The moment was cut short by Willa’s phone ringing, Alessia picked it up while Willa was still making her way along Alessia’s neck. Willa felt the blonde on her lap stiffen and quickly get off her, “Less?” All Alessia could do was hand Willa back her phone and quickly leave the theatre. Willa looked at her phone and sighed, it was Jennifer. “Hey baby.” Willa said as she sat back, the game still on the big screen. “I saw your schedule and thought that you could come out to see me?” Jennifer sounded very perky and excited to hear her voice. “Yeah baby the game tomorrow?” Willa knew that she was in deep with Alessia and now had to try and pretend everything was okay with Jennifer. 

She got an afternoon flight and let Anson know where she was heading to, she just needed some time to think. Jennifer was waiting by the gate when Willa got off the plane, they shared a kiss and a hug as soon as they saw each other. Willa compared the kiss with Alessia's. It was nice but it wasn’t like what she had with Alessia, there was so much passion and intensity. The night was spent cuddled up on the couch watching a Hallmark movie and eating some pasta, in comparison Alessia gave Lotte a full rundown of what had happened. Lotte couldn’t believe that they finally gave into their feelings for each other. The two Brits sat down for a movie night, Alessia wanting to keep her mind off Willa, she scrolled on Instagram while the movie played and saw a picture of Jennifer and Willa kissing at the airport, Willa still wearing her Newcastle United jersey that Alessia had been holding onto while they made out. Alessia bit her lip to stop herself from crying, Lotte noticed and asked what was going on, Alessia simply handed her phone over and tucked her knees to her chest. Lotte clenched her jaw, “Bitch.” Alessia’s head snapped towards Lotte who was always the calmest and most sensible person. “How can she just go and be with her girlfriend after making out with you! Is she an idiot?” Alessia laughed at Lotte, it was nice to have someone in her corner. “Okay new plan, we forget her no more flirting with her, cut her off.” Alessia nodded, might be easier said than done. 

The game was fantastic to watch, Jennifer played well too. She was prominent and assisted in two goals. Willa watched closely as the game progressed, she made some notes on things she wanted to try with the UNC team when she got back. Willa looked at her phone and typed out a message to Alessia wanting to press send, ‘Hey Less, I am so sorry for what I did. You probably know that I am with Jennifer right now at her game but when I come back I want to talk about what happened. I do care about you, I am so sorry again.’ She backspaced everything and just simply sent, ‘Hey Alessia it’s Willa. Can we talk when I get back from Orlando?’. There was no reply for the whole game which Willa did kind of expect. After the game Jennifer met Willa outside the back of the stadium, Jennifer had a crop top and jeans on with a pair of heels. “Baby we are going out, you have to come!” She wrapped her arms around the coach. “Um yeah okay lets do it.” Willa tried not to go out too much, she got bored quickly and often Jennifer would forget that she was even there and leave her while she partied with her friends. It seemed that Willa could predict the future as she sat at the booth for hours while Jennifer danced with her teammates, she seemed to be quite close with them especially Alanna Kennedy who currently had her hands on Jennifer’s hips while Jennifer pressed her ass into Alanna. Willa rolled her eyes and finished her drink, it was clear that perhaps Jennifer and Alanna were a bit closer than just friends. Willa had enough of watching her girlfriend and she left the club, it wasn’t her scene. She looked at Alessia’s instagram profile and flicked through a few of the pictures, she had the kindest eyes and was gorgeous. Willa knew that she needed to end things with Jennifer, Jennifer was into Alanna and she was into Alessia. 

Jennifer didn’t come home until 4am while Willa was asleep. She was quickly awoken by Jennifer stumbling into the room drunk, “Where the fuck did you go?” Jennifer put her bag on the bed. “I came home. You seemed to have your hands full.” Willa said dryly not looking at her girlfriend. “Are you serious? I dance with my teammates and you get pissed?” Jennifer came around to the side of the bed that Willa was sleeping in. “I want you out. Now.” Jennifer pulled back the covers on the bed and Willa sat up. “Fine.” She grabbed her already packed bag, knowing what was coming as soon as she got home. Jennifer was always like this, she would get drunk, get flirty then kick Willa out when Willa was upset with her behaviour. “You didn’t speak to me the whole night Jen. But you were grinding up against Alanna right in front of me. If you don’t want me anymore just let me know.” Willa opened the door. “Fuck you! We both know you are just jealous that you never made it like me.” Jen crossed her arms. “You’re right.” Willa closed the door and called an Uber, she headed to the airport. 

Willa got a flight at 6:00am back to North Carolina she landed at 7:50am and was back at her apartment by 8:40am, the first thing she did when she got home was get changed into UNC uniform and headed to the gym. She worked out until 11:00am when her body was beginning to give up on her. Willa had done an hour on the treadmill, thirty minutes on the rowing machine and the rest of the time she did an arm weights workout. As Willa was finishing up Alessia walked into the gym, wanting to get in a quick session. She noticed the blonde and attempted to go over but Alessia turned her back when Willa got close. “Don’t bother.” Was all Alessia said, Willa sighed and left the gym. She had a shower to clean up before the team meeting, at least she would see Alessia in the meeting, maybe they could talk quickly. As they entered the theatre Willa sat in her spot up the back and soon after Alessia walked in, she noticed the girl up the back but chose to sit in the third row with Lotte and Lois. Willa needed to have a talk with Alessia about what they had done. The team meeting was very beneficial as Anson added in some of Willa’s tactics, as they were leaving Willa grabbed Alessia’s wrist and stopped her from leaving. “Hey, just wondering if we could have a chat?” Alessia looked at Willa’s hand. “Sorry, I have to get going, it’s late and I have class.” Alesia took her arm back and walked past the coach without looking at her. Alessia remained distant up until the game against Miami, they were a good team but were somewhat dirty as well. Willa had a chat with a few of the players outlining their tactics and ways to use it against them, she nervously walked up to Alessia. “Hey, um just like we worked on in training. They are a physical team and will want to come after you especially, if it gets too much let us know and we can bring you off. We need to keep you protected.” Alessia looked at Willa coldly. “I will be fine.” She pushed past Willa who knew that she deserved the girl’s hatred.

CHAPTER 5

[bubblegump-1-nk]

As She Walks By pt. 3

-summary: Theodore and you are just best friends (or not), but when he finally hooks up with the Hufflepuff girl who’s had a crush on him for years, things may start to change

based off of the song Heather by Conan Gray (a little bit), set in three perspectives: yours, Theos, and the Hufflepuff girl (an OC I named Althenea Circ). I made you a Gryffindor but if you want to change your house just imagine whatever house you want.

- warnings: insecurity, angst, not really cheating but idk, typos probably, cussing, toxic relationships (these warnings apply to the upcoming parts so you might not see some of them in some of the parts, if that makes sense) I think that’s all but tell me if you find anything else pls!

sorry this took me so long, I had exams and the got caught up in other stuff but I hope you enjoy this!

-Your POV-

I walked out of the library with the intention of heading to the Slytherin common room. I had to talk to Theo, I mean what was even going on? He had this new girlfriend - if I could even call her that - and she’s all up in my business. And on top of that, I have this new found jealousy thing. I have to sort this out with you.

As I turn the corner to head to the stairs that lead down to the dungeon, I stop. What the hell was I doing? I couldn’t go in to your dorm and tell you I’m in love with you for Merlin’s sake. Not with you having a “girlfriend”, not with me having figured out if I even did love you romantically, and especially not with the change that you reject me and then our friendship is ruined forever. After a quick reassessment of my thoughts, I decided against going to your room and instead began walking to the Gryffindor tower and calling it a night.

“Sogweed Jumpets” I said to the Fat Lady, and in return she allowed me to enter the common room.

It was fairly empty since it was getting late, and I made my way up to my bedroom quickly. I opened the door quietly not wanting to wake anyone inside just in case, and I was lucky I did because Parvati, Lavender, and Hermione were all in deep sleep. I changed into my pajamas and put on a robe and a pair of slippers to go brush my teeth and get unready. After I finished my nighttime routine, I slipped off my robe and took of my comfy slippers, and dipped under the covers.

I laid still for a few minutes, trying to fall asleep but after no success I began tossing around. All I could think about was Theodore Nott and what he meant to me. Were we just friends? Was I in love with him? Maybe I was in love with one of his friends and was getting it mixed up? Mattheo maybe? Definitely not Mattheo. And what was up with his “girlfriend” anyway? I know him better than anyone, and I know he doesn’t like her. Plus, he used to make fun of her! And she… my thoughts eventually turned into dreams, and I fell fast asleep.

The next morning (Theo’s POV)

“Yo, mates, guess what?” Blaise says to the table as he sits down.

We all look up at him expectingly and wait for his response.

“Tyler Minx just told me Ravenclaw’s hosting a party tomorrow night, said something about a theme but I didn’t quite catch it.” He said, finally settling down in his seat and reaching for a piece of apple pie.

“Oh, yeah I heard about that. I think the theme is just to wear a costume.” Draco pipes in, finishing off his goblet filled with pumpkin juice.

“Hm, what’s something I could dress up as that doesn’t involve a shirt?” Asks Mattheo, to which I respond with by knocking him on the head.

“Oi mate! Just jokes. Eh, not really.” He says, the last part added after careful consideration.

“Are you and what’s-her-face going to match?” Blaise asks me in a mocking tone.

“It’s Althenea. And you wouldn’t catch me dead matching with her.” I say, stealing a piece of bacon from Mattheo’s plate.

“Watch it you git!” He says, smacking me.

I hit him back and we begin a playful fight when Blaise interrupts us.

“Ha! Looks like you two are already matching. I didn’t know it was that serious.”

I look at Blaise confused, and then grab onto Mattheo’s fist to stop his punch before turning around to follow Blaise’s eyes.

Althenea Circ.

Wearing my quidditch sweater?

“Looks like someone’s whipped.” Says Draco smugly.

“What? I never even gave that to her.” I say, astonished at how she got it.

“Oh yeah, I bet she walked into our dorm while we were sleeping and took it.” Mattheo said, sarcasm heavily evident on his words.

“I wouldn’t put it past her.” I grumbled, looking down at my plate. I hated seeing her with my last name spread across her back.

We were all silent for a little, me because I was trying to figure out how she got my sweater, and the others to give me space.

“Merlin! Y/n!” I suddenly said, looking up.

“What?” Said Draco, the others sharing confused looks

“I gave that sweater to y/n the last time we hung out on the astronomy tower. She must’ve given it to her.” I say, finally understanding the situation.

“You gave it to y/n, eh?” Said Mattheo, suggestively.

“Not like that.” I quipped, not like that I think.

“I’ll be back.” I said quickly, getting up from the table and heading towards the Gryffindor one.

I payed no attention to anyone or anything else, other than the back of your head as you laughed loudly with your friends.

Once I reached you, I cleared my throat loudly to get you attention.

You turned around and.. Merlin you were beautiful.

“Oh hey Theo!” You said, giving me your full attention.

“Can we talk? It’ll be quick.” I said.

A flash of worry appeared on your face, but it left as quickly as it came.

“Yeah, of course. I’ll be right back guys.” You said to your friends and you got up to start walking with me.

“What is it?” You asked as we began walking.

“Wait until we get outside.” I said, looking down at my shoes. I didn’t see your expression so I had no idea what you were feeling, but I hoped I wasn’t scaring you.

We finally got out of the Great Hall, and walked into an empty hallway.

“Um,” I said, scratching the back of my neck not knowing were to start.

“Yes?” You asked, I could sense your worry and it pained me to know I was the reason for it.

“Did you give Althenea my sweater?” I finally got out.

It was silent for a minute, and then you laughed. A light, airy, beautiful laugh.

“What? What is it?” I asked, quietly chuckling confused at the joke I missed.

“No, nothing. I just- yes, I did give your girlfriend your sweater. It seems more appropriate than your friend having it.” You said, smiling still.

“Best friend. And I don’t see how that’s weird.” I said.

“Oh Teddy. You have much to learn about relationships.” You say giggling, my breath hitched at the nickname, though I don’t know why.

“Well, firstly she’s not my girlfriend and secondly we share clothes all the time, and it’s never been weird.” I say, still mildly confused.

“Well, regardless if you’re dating or not, you’re still seeing each other. So it’s sort of weird showing all this affection to your friend, who’s a girl. It would be different if it was Mattheo you were sharing with.” You explain, putting your hand on my shoulder, a movement that makes my heart skip a beat. My hearts never done that before in the 12 years I’ve known you. Why is it doing it now?

“I would never share clothes with Mattheo, he’s a pig.” I say, which makes you laugh. I smile proudly.

“And I guess I understand? But next time just, tell me before giving my clothes to someone.” I say.

“You’re right. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.” You say, breaking eye contact.

“It’s alright, it’s not your fault.” I say. And after a few moments of quiet, I pull you into a tight embrace.

My chin rests on the top of your head and the hug is warm and comfortable. Your embrace is one I would stay in forever if I could.

Suddenly I hear a gasp coming from our right, which caused us to break apart to search for the culprit.

Quincy.

-Althenea’s POV-

I was sitting in the back of Transfiguration trying to focus on the lesson when something nipped at my shirt. I looked for the culprit and found a paper bird quietly buzzing around me. I quickly grabbed it and opened it up, revealing a note.

Meet me in the bathroom on the second corridor. Now. -Q

I read it quickly, confused at the urgency but went anyway. Mcgonagall allowed me to make a trip to the bathroom and I quickly made my way to the assigned lavatory.

“Quincy?” I asked as I stepped inside, looking around.

“Alth, you won’t believe it!” She said, popping out of a corner.

“What? What is it?” I asked urgently, growing more worried by the second. Oh how I hoped it wasn’t about my Theo.

“Well, first I should ask if you want to hear some bad news.” She said, suddenly feeling shy.

“Yes, I don’t care just tell me what’s so important.”

“This morning I.. well I saw Theo and…” She trailed off, not knowing whether to finish her sentence.

“With y/n.” I said, already having figured out who this would be about.

“Yeah. I’m sorry A, I really am.” She said, putting her hand on my shoulder.

“Well, what were they doing?” I asked expectantly

“Hugging. But they were pressed so closely together. It just looked really intimate.” She explained.

Suddenly my eyes began to well up with tears and my heart began to race. Why was it getting so hard to breath.

“Thanks for telling me. Bye.” I said, quickly leaving the bathroom.

I heard Quincy call out to me but I didn’t want to answer her, I just needed to leave.

-Your POV-

I walked towards the bathroom after leaving DADA. I opened the door and was met face to face with Quincy, who was trying to leave.

I jumped back a little but then smiled softly and quietly said “Merlin you scared me.” With a soft giggle.

Her face hardened and she looked at me intently.

“You disgust me.” She said, stepping back to let me enter.

“Excuse me?” I said, confused at her sudden rudeness.

“You’re a fucking bitch do you know that? I mean you could have anyone at this school and you pick one with a girlfriend?”

“I’m sorry, I’m not following.” I said confused.

“Oh Merlin don’t act stupid! I’m talking about Theodore Nott of course.” She said, walking closer to me.

Suddenly I started laughing, I couldn’t help myself even though I tried. Quincy just looked at me in disgust and confusion

“For the last time, Theo and I are just friends! When will you people understand that? And plus, Theo isn’t even dating Althenea.” I said, turning around to go look in the mirror.

“God you’re so shallow. You know they’re a thing, whether they’re dating or not. You need to butt out of their lives.”

“Funny you’re saying this to me seeing as I’ve known Theo for longer. And he actually tends to acknowledge me more than his “girlfriend”.” I said, angry at how she was treating me.

“Althenea has done nothing to you! Absolutely nothing! So why are you trying to ruin her life?!” She said angrily.

I turned around quickly to face her, and I stepped up close to her.

“First of all, Theo and I have been friends way longer than Theo has even known her name, so technically she needs to butt out of my life. Secondly, Althenea is not a fucking angel and you know that. She called Dean Thomas the m-slur at the beginning of the term and she goes around making fun of every girl at Hogwarts. If Althenea is going to date Theo she needs to understand that I’m going to be there just as much as Mattheo, Blaise, and Draco. And lastly, I will hex you to Beauxbatons if you speak like that to me again, understood?” I said sternly.

She looked at me with a blank expression, her mouth slightly agape. I took this as my time to leave and I stepped aside and left the bathroom.

Friday night (Theo’s POV)

I stood in a corner of the Ravenclaw common room, drinking some mystery drink out of a plastic cup. The lights were flashing harshly and the music was blasting through the speakers.

“So, why’d you choose that costume?” Althenea asked from beside me.

It took me a moment to register what she said but then I responded with, “I don’t know. I like the movie I guess.” I say, looking down at my vampire costume inspired by Lost Boys

“Oh that’s cool. I don’t really know why I chose my costume.” She said, and I quickly looked at her costume, registering for the first time that she was dressed as a mermaid.

I gave her a tight smile and then turned my attention to my friends.

“No way we win that game.” Blaise said, he was dressed as a mummy.

“We could easily take the Gryffindor team even without McCabe and Reis.” Draco said, offended that Blaise thought they were worse than the Gryffindor’s. He was dressed as Jack Frost.

I was trying to focus on the conversation, but all I could think about was were you could be. I didn’t see you anywhere, and you promised you were coming to the party. I started to become anxious.

“What’s up with you?” Mattheo asked me, he was dressed as a cowboy who had forgotten to wear a shirt.

“Nothing. Just tired of entertaining you-know-who.” I said quietly not wanting Circ to hear me.

“Makes sense. Wish I could help with that but that’s completely a you problem.” Mattheo said.

“Thanks mate.” I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

Suddenly I hear your laughter echoing throughout the common room and I look around to where it’s coming from. After a few seconds of scanning, I found you.

“I’ll be right back.” I said to the group and quickly left.

I walked quickly towards you and when I finally reached you I decided to put my hand on your shoulder and scare you. You jumped back and let out a quiet scream before laughing after having seen my face.

“Very funny Theodore.” You said smiling.

I chuckled and then asked, “Where’s your costume?”

You looked at me with a confused face and then looked down at yourself, “I’m an angel? Isn’t it obvious?” You said, turning around to show me your wings.

“A costume is when you dress up as something you’re not, obviously.” I say, probably because of the alcohol coursing through me.

You giggle at the comment and say “You are so cheesy you know that? I mean why am I even friends with you.”

“You know you love me.” I say, engulfing you in a hug and swinging you side to side.

“I think you need to slow down on the drinks.” You say laughing, the words coming out muffled since your face is pressed against my chest.

“I think you need to speed up on the drinks.”

“Well what do we have here?” Mattheo says, coming up to us with Hermione.

We leave the embrace and focus on the two people in front of us.

“Nice costume Mattheo.” You say.

“Wore it just for you.” He says, putting an arm around your shoulder.

My chest tightens with what I think is jealousy and I look at the two of you blankly.

“And you look great Hermione.” I say.

“Thank you.” She says giggling, she was dressed up as a cat.

“Well Matty, I don’t know any cowboys who don’t need shirts but I guess there’s a first for everything?” You say, poking his side.

He laughs before saying, “Well I for sure don’t know any angels that were shirts.” He says, which causes you to laugh and lightly slap him on the shoulder.

“It’s not like that corset is leaving any room for imagination.” Said Draco, who had walked up to the group.

“Thanks Draco.” You say sarcastically.

Suddenly I feel an arm around my waist, I look down confused because you’re currently wrapped around Mattheo.

I don’t recognize the arm and I look down at the mystery persons face. Althenea.

“What are we talking about?” She says.

The group goes quiet.

Mattheo breaks the silence by saying, “We are just talking about how much Theo enjoys y/n’s costume.”

“What? No we weren’t.” You say quickly, leaving Mattheo’s grasp to look him in the eye. Althenea’s arm leaves my side at the comment.

“What? We didn’t directly say it but it’s fairly obvious.” He says, which causes me to fully break out of my trance of staring at you.

You give Mattheo a look before saying “Hermione do you want to go grab a drink.”

The party continues, you left me a couple minutes ago to go dance with Hermione, and Althenea is talking about something stupid.

“And that’s why I think butter beer is better than pumpkin juice.”

“Uh-huh.” I say, my eyes on you.

“Teddy, I’m over here.” She says nervously.

“Don’t call me that.” I snap. “Sorry.” I quickly add to make up for my harshness.

“Sorry.” She says quietly.

The conversation continues after a few quiet moments, my eyes following you wherever you went.

“Um, I think I’m going to go the bathroom.” She says, quickly leaving me.

“Uh-huh.” I say moments after she’s left, still looking at you.

[Sorry this took me so long to write, I had exams and the got caught up in other stuff! I didn’t want to make this a series let alone more than 3 parts but here we are, sorry. I hope you guys enjoy this anyway, and part 4 (hopefully the last one) should come out soon-ish!]

Derreth's Troubles

Log Entry #3

Red,

I was extremely unproductive today as well. I'm so stressed out but I haven't done anything to stress me out. I don't know why I feel this way. I feel guilt from not doing work but I don't have work to do. It's not just work, I didn't even go to the market today. I just had apples from the trees outside.

The apples are ripe now. Ugh! That's another thing I have to do. Add picking apples to the list. Really, I should be doing things. Every time I try, I get demotivated. I make excuses. I can't get into a routine. This is torture.

I heard that Pidge set one of Adam's plants on fire and he's ANGRY. Now, I can't sell fire potions to the Holts. Even if I wanted to, Adam would be upset. You do not want to see Adam when he's upset. After a bit, he stops being angry and just sits there like he's waiting for you to do something. I call it the stare of disapproval.

Unrelated, Hunk ordered 5 fire potions today. I'll make them tomorrow because I'm pretty tired right now. Hopefully he's fine with the wait. He's usually pretty calm about that sort of thing.

Hunk is great. He doesn't come over often because the forest creeps him out but when he does, he always has food in hand. It's helpful because my cooking is horrific. He's amazing at what he does. He designs armor for soldiers and militia men. You should see him work with metal. He looks really in his element.

When he comes over, he usually talks about what's going on in town while I'm cooped up in my house working for long periods of time. Hunk came over today actually. He delivered his order in person along with an amazing pie. He told me about how Pidge set Adam's plant on fire. I'm guessing I'll also hear it from Adam as well.

Writing in this book really does help. When I start writing, I feel stressed and sad but now I feel relaxed. It's helping me remember the better parts of my day. I still don't feel better about not doing anything today.

I'll make better plans for tomorrow and write them down. I think that might help.

Tomorrow, I'll go to the McClain residence in the morning. Then, I'll get food for the week. Last, I'll make Hunk's potions and maybe make some potions for Allura. She hasn't ordered any but it's been a while and I should get ready for the next time she orders. Her orders are usually massive. It's because she has a huge stock and needs to refill every once in a while. I'm predicting that she'll need some soon.

Shiro and Allura are my two biggest customers. Allura runs a fae inn deep in the woods. I stayed there when my house was being built. They sell potions to magical creatures there. It seems redundant but it's essentially like having a spell in a bottle. It's useful sometimes.

Allura inherited the inn from her dad. She thrives there with her girlfriend, Romelle and the manager, Coran. Coran was her dad's friend.

Shiro runs the hospital in town. I make healing potions that close wounds and fix tissue. Those are the biggest needs. I also make potions for specific cases like sicknesses. One of those potions saved Lance's life. From what I know, he's suspectable to getting badly sick so he needs a potion to help his immune system.

Shiro is engaged to Adam. It's cute because Shiro is a doctor and Adam is a nurse. If only I could have a boyfriend who works with me. There's a problem with that though. I work alone.

I didn't make any potions today.

<<Part 3

〰️〰️〰️

Sarge came into the barracks hut at Camp McCoy on the morning of June 4, 1943, brandishing a set of papers, one for each of us.  Gabe and I looked at each other and figured this was it, our marching orders had come in.  Over a year's worth of training had made us a well oiled unit of fighting soldiers and now we were declared ready to join the fight in Europe.

"A Company," yelled Sarge.  "Gather around."  He waited while everyone in the hut got close.  "The Lieutenant is at Division and has charged me with giving you the good news.  We have our orders.  Tomorrow morning, at 08:00 you are officially on leave.  You may go home, see your wives, or your girlfriends, or your wives and your girlfriends, your folks and anyone else special to you.  If you're planning on having kids make them now boys, because it will be a while until you're back.  Maybe get married first before you do.  Make sure you have filled out your beneficiaries on your life insurance form.  You can give them to me right up to our embarkation date.  On Saturday, June 19 most of you are expected to report by no later than 15:00 at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn.  There you will receive your kit and await the call for transport to a port in the United Kingdom.  Everything you need to know is in your travel orders which I have right here for you."

He began calling out names and handed out the letters one by one.  I received mine and looked at the top line.  Travel orders for Dugan, Timothy C. A., Corporal, Serial number etc.  I looked at the date where I had to report back and noticed it was different from what the others were told.

"Hey, Sarge, why do I have to report back on the 15th?" I asked.

Those big baby blues fixed their gaze on me.  "Because some of us have to be back early, like me.  I have to be back on the 12th, all corporals on the 15th.  I didn't write the orders ... I just obey them."

"My wife isn't going to be so happy with only ten days," I replied.

"Times are tough, Dugan," he retorted as he kept handing out papers.  "I have about a dozen girls that I'm supposed to see in seven days.  Might have to double them up.  Stewart!"

The Sarge had a reputation as a ladies' man, which I had actually seen proof of in Sparta.  He went through the girls of that town like a man on a mission although he made good friends with a couple of them, like Miss Warren.  She was a real sweetheart, didn't seem to mind that he dated other broads.  He always treated her right and with respect.  She wasn't like some of the cookies he went out with.  Come to think of it he had weekend liberty that week before our orders came in, and when Gabe and I went to the store to say hi to Miss Warren they said she had the weekend off.  We wondered if he took her away, but we always thought she was too smart to fall for Sarge's lines.  Still ....

"Dugan," said Gabe.  "What are your plans for leave?"

"I'm sure my wife has a list a mile long of things for me to take care of," I replied.  "You?"

The handsome black man smiled.  "I'm hitting the jazz clubs," he said, "Been too long since I heard some good music.  Then I'm going to fill up on as much of my Mother's and Aunty's food as I can.  Would have been nice if the Yankees were in town."

I laughed.  "Why you cheer for those losers I'll never know.  You're as bad as Sarge and his Dodgers.  Red Sox, now there's a team."

Other guys got in on the conversation over who the best baseball teams were.  I saw Sarge smile as we jawed at each other.  As long as it didn't come to a standoff or blows he didn't care if we poked harmless fun at each other.  If things did get out of hand Sergeant James Barnes was pretty good at breaking it up.  I guess he would be, having been a YMCA welterweight champion three years running.  That's where I first saw him, fighting a buddy of mine on the undercard as an amateur in 1941, before Pearl Harbor.  Sarge was good, maybe could have turned pro if not for the war.  When I first met him at Camp McCoy I told him about seeing him fight.  We had good talks about Joe Louis, Buddy Baer, and Billy Conn among other boxers of the time.

Early the next day, after morning chow, the three of us, me, Gabe and Sarge, headed out for the bus to the train station in Milwaukee with our duffel bags and travel orders.  There was a lineup of guys kissing their girls goodbye.  I guess Sarge must have done most of his goodbyes already as only Miss Warren was there for him, and they gave each other a rather tame hug, then he did kiss her, kind of sweet like.  She waved at Gabe and me, then left as she had to be at the store for opening.  We got into Milwaukee an hour later and boarded the train right away, finding our spot together, as we knew there would be an issue about Gabe riding with us.  Sure enough the conductor came and said there was a car for Gabe's type further along.  Sarge just looked straight at the man.

"According to the United States Army Corporal Jones is white," he said.  "He stays with us.  You have a problem with that you take it up with the United States Army."

Gabe, who was sitting by the window, let Sarge handle it and he just stretched his legs out so they covered the aisle seat next to me, then pulled his cap down over his eyes.  When another conductor came to try his luck at getting Gabe to move Sarge just pushed his cap up and gave him that intense blue eyed gaze he gave anyone who was messing with him.

"Private Jones is in this unit, and I believe this car as well as several others have been reserved for our unit, 200 soldiers, in fact.  If he moves, we all move with him.  You able to squeeze us all into a single car?"

That shut the conductor up.  Of course, we went through the same thing again when we transferred in Chicago but Sarge wasn't having any of it and we were soon on the train for the long overnight trip to New York.  When we pulled in at 08:00 into Grand Central Station I wasn't expecting my wife and kids to be there but I was surprised to see my neighbour, Mr. Santucci.  He waved at me and was quite excited.

"Timothy, I'm glad you're here," he said.  "Come, I'll take you home.  There's something I need to tell you."

Well, this couldn't be good.  We got out to the street and he flagged a taxi, a taxi, can you believe it?  He gave the address of our building and then sat back. 

"Your wife, Kathleen, she kept a little secret from you since you were last here," he said.  "She didn't mean to.  She meant to tell you in person when you were supposed to be on leave the last time.  I told her she should write about it but she said it was something that should be said in person."

I rolled my eyes.  My leave got cancelled the last time about six months ago after Sarge, Gabe, and I squared off against a few soldiers from the south who took exception to Gabe's presence in our midst.  We all got our leaves cancelled as punishment but the guys from the south got recycled, had to restart their boot camp from day one.  I wondered what could have been so important that Kathleen had to tell me in person and then it hit me.  I looked at Mr. Santucci.  He nodded.

"You have a son," he said.  "Looks just like you, born two months ago.  He'll be a big boy, just like your other two."

I said three Hail Mary's right there in the cab with Mr. Santucci sitting right next to me saying them as well then I looked at him.

"You're not lying to me are you, Mario?" I asked.  "He's my boy?"

"No doubt about it," he replied.  "Your wife is sick with worry that you wouldn't believe her, so I said I would come for you and explain it all.  You know how some women get when they're full of child.  It's like their brain gets all fogged up and they can't think straight."

That did sound like Kathleen.  When she was pregnant with our first she took the subway to Yonkers and didn't know why.  Took her all day to get back.  With our second she went to the grocers and came back with a case of bananas, said it was too good a deal to pass up.  We shared them with everyone on our floor so they didn't go bad but Kathleen did do strange things when she was pregnant.  Until I saw her and the baby I didn't know what I was going to say or do.

Finally, we pulled up in front of the apartment building and I swallowed as I stood there looking up at the front of it.  Three kids in that small apartment.  Mr. Santucci patted me on the back and opened the front door for me.  As I went up the stairs, I was aware of several of the tenants opening their doors after I passed.  Did the whole damned building know?  Finally, I arrived at our door and knocked, as I left my key behind when I went to boot camp.  There was the sound of a baby crying and I almost burst into tears hearing it.  Then the door opened, and I saw my Kathleen standing there, her face fearful but just as beautiful as it had been eleven months before when I last saw her.  Two little shadows rushed out from behind her and grabbed my legs, my older boys, Tim Jr. and Danny.  After kissing them and letting them have their way with me I looked at the babe that Kathleen was holding, and she put him in my arms. 

He was definitely my boy, from the Dugan red hair, to the chubby cheeks and clenched fists that reached for me.  Even if he wasn't my boy I would have loved him because he was so perfect and I loved his mother so much.  When I kissed him she began to cry and I had to put one arm around her.  Mr. Santucci, who had been standing in the doorway smiled and left, closing the door behind him. 

The next ten days passed much too quickly as I played with the boys, helped look after little Liam, as Kathleen had named him after my grandfather, then had tender times with my wife that may or may not have put her in the family way again.  Before I left I made her promise that if she was carrying another baby to write me about it.  Before I left, just after lunch on June 15th I kissed her softly, as tears fell from her green eyes, and I touched her dark hair before enclosing her in my arms.  I kissed all three of my boys and then I carried my duffel bag with me to the train station and got on the train to Brooklyn, where there was a regular bus that ran between the station and the base at Fort Hamilton.  I didn't know then it would be several years until I saw her, our three boys and our daughter Bridget.

After I reported in I was directed to the barracks assigned to our unit.  Sarge was already there going over paperwork.  He took a stack of papers and shoved them across the desk to me.

"Put these in order by date," he said.  "The clerks here have their own system.  I had all the requisitions in, signed by the Lieutenant and everything and they brought them right back to me, date first, then requisition number."

"Hello to you too, Sarge," I said.  "How was your leave?"

"Not long enough," he said.  "Had to date two at a time.  You?"

"I have another child," I said bluntly.  "Kathleen was pregnant from my last leave, wanted to tell me in person but my leave six months ago got cancelled, and she didn't want to put it in a letter."

Sarge howled.  "So, what is it?"

"A boy, Liam, looks just like me.  She might already have another one starting but she promised if she is she would write me."

"How old is the oldest?" he asked.

"Four." 

He howled again.  "You're a cruel man leaving your wife with that many young babies."

"She's a good mother," I said defensively.  "The neighbours are good.  They'll watch out for her.  My mam had me at 17, then three more before she was 21 and she was a good mother."

Sarge just shook his head and grinned.  What did he know?  He was a bachelor and doll dizzy.  Our other corporal, Tommy Malone arrived and Sarge pushed a bunch of requisitions towards him to put into order.  Took us another hour but we finally got them organized like the clerks wanted and Sarge submitted them.  The day our company arrived they would line up at the quartermasters office and receive all their bedding and towels.  The day after they would get their kit, rifle, sleep roll, cooking kit, medical kit, everything we would need when we were finally mustered and ready to be shipped out to our destination.

"Do we have our ship assigned yet?" I asked.

Sarge smiled.  "The Queen Mary," he said.  "They're sending us in style to Scotland, leaving on the 24th.  We'll be training before we go." 

He wouldn't be so happy when we boarded.  They packed over 15,000 troops on that ship plus over 900 crew.  They had beds stacked three high in every part of that floating transport.  Even the officers had to share although they were only two or three to a cabin.  Although it was June the seas were stormy and by the time we arrived in Gourock, Scotland, half the complement were almost dead from sea sickness.  When we disembarked in Scotland, we boarded a troop train that took us from the port, through Glasgow and down to an army base near Manchester.  We had a couple of days there then another sea journey from Liverpool to Algeria where we transferred to another ship that took us to Sicily.  The Mediterranean was calmer but by then most of us were just plain worn out and only barely recuperated when we arrived in mid-July.

We did our best and made good headway when we landed in Sicily in July and took the island just a few weeks later, leading to the ouster of Mussolini.  When the British landed in southern Italy shortly after the Americans landed to the north, hoping to encircle the Germans and fascist Italians that were still loyal to them. 

We chased them to a place called Azzano in northeastern Italy in October 1943.  The fighting was brutal, and we lost the Lieutenant, leaving Sarge in charge.  Surrounded by enemy mortars he ordered Gabe to call in B Company for support.  Before Gabe could do that, we came under attack and the damnedest thing happened.  Suddenly we saw these blue flashes coming out of the dark, hitting the Germans and just ... disintegrating them into thin air.  Within seconds all the Germans were taken out.  We watched as this tank we had never seen the likes of come over a hill, shooting these pulses of blue lights at the German line in the far distance.  In awe, we just stood watching it unfold in front of us then suddenly the tank aimed its cannon at us and began firing.  Taking cover as best we could in the craters left by the mortar blasts we huddled there, hoping to hell that this wasn't to be our last day on Earth.  Then the flashes stopped, and we were surrounded by troops built like machines, dressed in black armour holding these strange rifles on us.

"Aufgeben," yelled the one closest to us and we looked at Gabe.

"They want us to surrender," he said.

Sarge raised his hands.  "Tell them we surrender.  What choice do we have?  We can't fight against those guns."

As we assembled Sarge told me to estimate a head count.  As best I could tell there were well over a hundred of us.  Whether the rest were dead or had escaped from the rear I couldn't tell.  We were marched to an area a couple of miles away and loaded into trucks.  Then we were transported for some time before the trucks were stopped and we were ordered out.  Sarge didn't look well and we closed ranks around him, knowing that a weaker POW could be subjected to cruel punishment by the guards.  They herded us into this building then forced us into an area full of different cells.  They stuck me, Sarge and Gabe in a cell with a Limey officer and a Frenchman.  I made a joke, not a good one, I admit, and the Limey took offence at it.  Well, my people are Irish and I wasn't too fond of the British just because of that and we pushed each other.  I have to admit that he wasn't scared of me, even though I must have outweighed him by 50 pounds, but I still got a few licks in before Sarge ordered me and Gabe to stand down.  The Frenchman said something and Gabe laughed, then answered in French.  It surprised the man and he stood up, offering Gabe his hand.

"I'm Dernier, Jacques Dernier, French resistance," he said, in his heavily accented voice.

Gabe looked to Sarge who nodded his approval and he introduced us.  Then the British officer stood up.

"Major James Montgomery Falsworth," he said.  "3rd Independent Parachute Brigade of the British Army.  My apologies to you Corporal, for being overly sensitive to your joke.  These soldiers are not the usual Nazi vermin we're used to dealing with.  They're worse and they have treated us like cattle.  It has stressed us immensely."

I nodded my acceptance of his apology.  "I'm sorry, sir," I replied.  "We have to work together against these guys, not fight amongst ourselves."

"Where are we?" asked Sarge.

"Somewhere near Kreischberg, Austria,"   replied Falsworth.  "This is a HYDRA facility.  As near as we can tell they were Nazis and now they're worse, looking at Nazis as if they're substandard.  The commanding officer is a sadist named Colonel Lohmer.  Try to avoid his notice.  He has killed several men just for displeasing him."

That was easier said than done when we were forced to begin working the following day.  No work, no food was what we were told.  Sarge, who hadn't been feeling well for some time could barely get up but he did and was assigned a job of moving carts of munitions from one spot to another.  He collapsed while pushing the heavy cart and fell against the munitions, causing some of them to fall.  Lohmer was right there and laid into the Sarge, beating him continually while the man didn't even have the strength to defend himself.  I could feel my hands curl in frustration at witnessing the savagery of the Colonel.  Finally, he stood up, gave a final kick to the Sarge's side and walked away, ordering Lieutenant Kleiber to see to the mess.  Kleiber motioned to me and Gabe to pick Sarge up and take him to the cell.  Gabe examined him as best he could and determined Sarge had broken ribs.  He also had a rattling cough.

"Sounds like pneumonia to me," said Falsworth, standing nearby.  "Kleiber isn't so bad.  He would let your Sergeant recuperate before sending him out to work but Lohmer would just as soon see him die on the work floor.  We need to take Lohmer out and I think I know how."

While we returned to our workstations we looked for a certain substance, it was sticky and if left long enough on a metal surface would weaken it.  The Major, Gabe and I found some, brought it to Dernier and when no one was looking he applied it to the chain attached to a crane carrying bins of scrap to be melted into munitions.  All night that stuff sat on the chains and the guards were none the wiser.  In the morning, Lohmer ordered Sarge to work.  Gabe and I helped him up.  I never knew a man who could tolerate as much pain as Sergeant James Barnes could.  Even though every step was agony for him he refused to show weakness in front of Lohmer.  He loaded scrap metal into a large bin.  When it was full Lieber ordered the crane to lift the bin up.  We all stood back, knowing the chains were weakened.  As the bin rose up high Lohmer walked under its path just as a part of the chain broke, dropping the bin right on top of him.  All of us POWs cheered when the son of a bitch was crushed, then the guards herded us back into our cells.  Again, Gabe and I supported Sarge while he stumbled back.

"You don't have to worry Jimmy boy," I whispered to him.  "Lohmer won't hurt you again."

"Bucky, my name is always Bucky," he mumbled.  "No one calls me Jim, or James."

"Alright, Bucky, we got you," I said, as Gabe and I laid him down on the floor of the cell.

We were there for hours while the guards and Lieutenant Kleiber investigated the "accident" as they finally determined it to be.  When we got our food, Gabe and I took turns feeding the Sarge.  The next day Kleiber agreed that Sarge was too sick to work and he was allowed to stay in the cell.  Even though he rested he seemed to get sicker and sicker over time.  Several days after Lohmer died a scientist showed up, a little guy with glasses.  Apparently he was now in charge.  At least he didn't order any beatings, but there was something about him that gave me chills, especially when he noticed Sarge.  His second day there he showed up at our cell with Kleiber.

"This man, on the floor, why hasn't he been working?" he asked.

"We think pneumonia, plus several broken ribs courtesy of your predecessor," said Major Falsworth.

The scientist turned to Kleiber.  "Why was he not sent to me sooner?" he asked.  "I am a medical doctor as well.  I have treatments for pneumonia.  Bring him to me."

"Yes, Dr. Zola," saluted Kleiber.  "Immediately.  Guards!"

He signalled to several guards and one motioned us back with his gun while the other two took the Sarge between them.  He tried to struggle but there was no strength left in him at all.  I was angry and upset.  Grasping at the bars I yelled at them.

"Don't you kill him, you dirty bastards!"

The doctor, almost out of the room turned back and walked towards me several steps.  What he said chilled me; not just the words but the way he said it.

"I have no intention of killing your Sergeant.  Whether he survives the treatment is up to him.  If it works it will be a new day in science and your Sergeant will never be sick ever again."

With a smile I can only describe as twisted the doctor left with the two guards carrying the Sarge behind him.  For the next few days we heard nothing, except there was another man in charge, an arrogant SOB called Schmidt who upped the production limits for everyone.  Even Kleiber wouldn't say anything about Sarge, and both Falsworth and Dernier shook their heads, saying it was likely that Sarge was dead.  Neither Gabe nor I were going to let his death go unpunished and we talked together about taking on the guards and getting one of those fancy rifles in our hands.  We knew it would likely end up with our deaths and although I was worried about leaving Kathleen a widow with four babies to look after alone (she had written that our last time together had produced another pregnancy) I wanted to die fighting, not as someone's slave.

One night we were sleeping in our cells when the guard on patrol above us suddenly fell over, knocked out.  Some guy, wearing a leather jacket, a toy helmet, and carrying a toy shield took the keys to our cell out of the guard's pocket.

"Who are you?" asked Gabe.

He looked around, shrugged, and said, with a Brooklyn accent, "Captain America."

Then the guy jumped down, proceeded to unlock our cells, and asked about Sergeant James Barnes.  Falsworth told him he was likely in the isolation unit.  The "Captain" told us where the tree line was, to wait there for him, to raise some hell along the way, and he took off towards the unit where Sarge likely was.  We all looked at each other and did what we were told.  We hit them hard, took their weapons, found grenades, found their fancy tanks with the blue flash cannons and gave them hell. 

When we reached the rendezvous point Captain America wasn't there but shortly after the whole factory went up and we wondered if he made it out.  We shouldn't have worried because he showed up with Sarge and we found out that this guy was his best friend from Brooklyn who disobeyed orders to drop behind enemy lines and rescue us.  Cocky little guy, little to me, anyways.  Sergeant Barnes couldn't keep his eyes off of him, as if this guy had undergone some big transformation.  Whatever it was, he had moxie, and there were several of us that kind of liked his style of fighting.  Oh, and Sarge?  I don't know what that Nazi doctor did to him but he was better and his ribs were apparently healed.  It was a miracle, as was our rescue.  For those of us who stuck with Captain America, it was the beginning of some incredible missions.

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL- holiday lights

A/n: naive little y/n gets sucked into the shopping portal just like i do except shes not broke. I got this idea while scrolling through target on Black Friday. Also i added a ton of fluff to it so it gets better.

Genre: fluff

Summary: you and natasha are a cute happy couple

You were on a mission. Opening up your computer, you opened google chrome and typed out what you wanted to find. 

About 20 minutes through your searching, Natasha walked in. Once she realized what you were doing, she yanked the computer out of your hands with her amazing reflexes and slammed it shut. 

"But, natasha-" You whined, begging her for the computer back. You grabbed onto her arm over dramatically.

"No. We are not doing that this year. Last year you stayed up for 72 hours shopping and would have bought $325 worth of stocking stuffers had i not intervened. And, Christmas is tomorrow so no matter how amazing the things you find are, they are going to arrive after New Years and be twice as expensive in shipping as the initial price."

The three things that you took away from that, of course, was

1) she was saying all of that in practically one breath, and was incredibly hot in doing so

2) you were not going to be opening that computer for the next 24 hours at least

3) you had to find something else to distract yourself

Fortunately, that last one wasn't a problem. You grinned sheepishly at Natasha. 

"Fiiine. You win . . . But can we walk to the lights after dinner?" A couple streets down there was a cul de sac that went all out for pretty much every holiday. It was in one of the more secluded areas (probably because it was a cul de sac) but by far the most beautiful. If you went there earlier, say around eight, you might see some families sitting around on porches, sipping hot chocolate and apple cider. But if you went there later, around. . . Midnight, it would be completely silent, usually not a soul out there but yourself. . . Or in this case, you and Natasha. 

When you arrived there, the street was completely silent. Some of the falling snow caught your eyelashes, and despite all of the Christmas lights, you could still see some of the stars in the sky. 

"Natasha," you whispered, "look. There's Orion's Belt." You let go of her hand to point to it, and her brow furrowed. 

"Wait. Why is a guy's belt in the sky?" She asked. You rolled your eyes. 

"Well the rest of Orion is there, too." You both started laughing. 

After that, you walked in silence. Holding hands, occasionally stopping to kiss. Like you were in a snow globe full of glitter, the perfect moments safe and happy, while all of the bad stuff was outside of the snow globe. The bad things could shake it up, but in the long run, it would only make it more beautiful. 

Because when you were with Nat, everything was perfect. 

-in the morning-

You woke up next to Natasha. The air outside of your fluffy comforter was cold, so you scooted even closer to her. 

"Hey, baby," she murmured, still half asleep. 

"It's Christmas," you told her, "will you drag me out of bed? Please?"

"I won't drag you out of bed. . . But i will race you down to the tree!" That was one of the things that you really loved about natasha. That she was not only your girlfriend, but your best friend. 

Scrambling out of bed, you threw on some clothes (pajamas) and ran down the stairs, Tasha at your heels. The tree sparkled in the early morning light, even though the string lights were unplugged. 

Grabbing the plug, you crouched down and looked for the circuit. (see? I know fancy words, too. Def did not use autocorrect for that) when you found it, you plugged it in, lighting up the whole tree. 

"Open it," you said, pushing it closer to her. She did. 

"Oh- oh my god, y/n." She said, "Is this. . . Us?" It was. It was a snow globe of you two, holding hands on a street filled with tall buildings tat were covered in Christmas lights. 

"Yeah. . ." You blushed, "i found this great local artist who likes to make snow globes, and. . . I thought of you." 

"Aww, thank you. That is so sweet." She kissed you, only stopping when Thor cleared his throat loudly. 

“My turn. This one is for you, from me.” Natasha said, smiling. 

“Close your eyes,” she said.”

“And now. . . Open them.”

She was there, a nervous smile on her face. Down on one knee. Tears rushed to your eyes. 

“Yes,” you whispered, earning a couple laughs from the rest of the team. 

“Hey, i have to propose first, silly!” She said, a bit less nervous than before. “Y/n m/n l/n, i have loved you since the moment i met you. will you marry me?”

“Yes. Oh, yes yes yes. Yes.” You just couldnt say it enough times. Yes. Yes. Yes. 

You said it until she shut you up by putting her lips on yours. 

On Christmas morning, you kissed your girl. 

I did not re read this but i got sappy towards the end. Idek what happened but this was supposed to be shorter. Word count 878 words. 

Hope ur enjoying ur holidays

Reaper Nurse Christmas Prompt Countdown | Day 3: Fruitcake

(This one is with a reader in a polygamous relationship with the nurses. As Christmas is a time for family, I'll be writing some with a child, girlfriend/wife/fiancée, etc. reader. Sorry this was late, basically can't have any of our meds in the house, because let's just say someone in the house has **really** bad depression. We can't get it ourselves, if we could, they could too, so someone else needs to bring it to us. By the time they got here yesterday, if I took them I wouldn't sleep at all so I didn't. Because Vyvanse is some ridiculously strong shit I had a really bad crash, and obviously had the exhaustion I have without it. I couldn't write whatsoever, but I have it now so we're all good. SORRY FOR THE LONG EXCUSES BACK TO THE COUNTDOWN- also fruitcake sucks, fuck you if you like that shit) (oh fuck more words? get back to the writing. this is the fruitcake recipe, get into this series it's good unlike the fruitcake, also you might see a familiar name that I split in half and gave to two of my OC nurses) ;)

(had to put this here to seperate my rambles and my other rambles. this fic may have been used as an excuse to relentlessly insult fruitcake and may contain traces of salt, and i had to make the introduction bit small bc it was way too big and it was distracting from the actual writing)

The entire hospital smelled like gingerbread, spices and sugar. It was a tradition in the hospital, this time of year, to make traditional Christmas sweets to serve along with tea for the guests, the patients who were actually patients and not men, and of course, the nurses, the Matron, and you. Yesterday, you and Julie had made ginger beer, the bottles of which were now sitting in the pantry to ferment.

You were now kneading the gingerbread dough, it was cool from being left in the fridge overnight, well, most of the night. It wasn't your fault that it smelled so good, you just couldn't resist coming down to pick at it every now and then. Well, that was until Mary was waiting there to catch the dough thief. She actually grabbed you rather hard by the wrist and started to tell you off, because you'd make you upset if there wasn't enough left in the morning to make a gingerbread house, until she realised that you... well, you were you. The hospital had obviously been dark, so that you and the patients could rest, the nurses didn't need much, none of the monsters did, unless they were sick or injured. Still, even though she had the excuse that she "couldn't see you too well in the darkness", she still had to use that excuse, with the Matron.

You were chucking to yourself about the whole thing, but you also felt a little bad for her. Just a little, though, because the gingerbread still tasted better than leaving it alone and sparing her the scolding. You then realised you were still pulling little bits of dough out of the lump and eating them, but the chunk in your mouth was... already in your mouth, so you were definitely allowed to keep this one, right? Nobody wanted your saliva in the gingerbread. Nobody wanted the chunk.

Well, that was true until Mary pulled you into a kiss, tasted it on you, and chided you for still eating it. She pulled herself a nibble - hypocrite! - before standing back and calling for the other (fairly jealous of the kiss) nurses in the kitchen to gather round.

"I got off scot-free, well, for the most part. The only condition was that Matron's really itchin' for some fruitcake on Christmas Day and considering her (ahem) size, we're gonna need some help.."

It was decided that you'd be making about 3 large fruitcakes stacked on top of each other, ("If she thinks it's too much we can say we made a lot so she could have more tomorrow, like having, like, a slice and having another slice the next day until it's finished, we just don't want it being too small that she feels disappointed in the amount")

So, off to the mall it was, after putting the gingerbread back in the fridge. You were dolled up in a black dress with a white lace collar and cuffs, brown ruffle socks, little black Mary Janes and a fuzzy winter coat. Anne drove to the Therapy Centre first, so you could wave good-bye to the Matron. Of course, you weren't allowed further than the balcony, like usual. She called you adorable and ordered the nurses to make sure you were warm in the snowy weather. So, after additionally having your head stuffed into a white beanie with a pom pom, and having your neck wrapped in a sheer grey scarf, you all gathered back into the ambulances - you were with Anne and Julie.

You all ran around like headless chickens looking for ingredients, rather annoying the mannequins, but they didn't say anything about it, - mostly because they couldn't, they would alternatively stomp and generally look angry until you all calmed down, but also, - because they obviously wanted the sales.

You actually had half a mind to dry the cherries yourself at the hospital, in the oven, with the idea of them being fresher in the cakes, but when you brought this up to Julie, she looked at you like you were insane.

"You'd have to do multiple batches, with all the cherries in the recipe I borrowed from Mama Bear, to make this much cake. Do you have any idea how long you'd need just one batch to be in the oven to dehydrate?? We'll be ready to mix the batter together and throw the cakes in the oven by next Christmas!"

She had a point, so you just raided the mall for every bag of dried cherries you could find, while other nurses ran to Julie to read the list for the next ingredient they needed.

Eventually you were all done, every ingredient was crossed off the list. By this point you were sleepy, so Anne scooped you up bridal-style to go back home. That was when she had a brilliant (and adorable) idea. Needless to say, all of the nurses were cooing at you wrapped up in a wool blanket, strapped onto the gurney in the ambulance, fast asleep. This way, you wouldn't be uncomfortable sitting up in your seat while half asleep. A chuckling Julie shooed everyone else away while she secured the bed in place inside the ambulance before hopping inside to drive while Anne took a picture to show Matron, and then started petting your hair.

You were a little disappointed, after waking up in your own bed that evening, to find the cakes had already been in the oven for 6 hours, having missed the baking while you slept the day away. But, after dinner, a chicken stir-fry with noodles and vegetables, after playing a heated, argument-filled game of Monopoly, (which you did NOT win. The winner was always Anne, she always bought the most hotels and never went to jail), you did get to pull the cakes out and leave them to cool, and you also got to poke holes in them and pour brandy into the holes. (You'd be doing that every day until Christmas, when the cakes would be served, to keep it moist.)

You were drinking hot chocolate in the reception hall when everyone heard Mary yell.

A moment later, she burst into the hall, the doors banging into the walls and leaving cracks in the paint. She stuck her head out into the room (the only part of her that was visible, the rest of her was still in the halls) before looking straight into your soul.

"How much of that gingerbread did you eat!?" she looked absolutely astounded.

Sure enough, there was not enough to make a gingerbread house, and you spent the rest of the evening moping and sulking, feeling sorry for yourself, as you heard Mary whisper "I told her so" into Anne's ear as Anne chuckled and shook her head, facepalming at you.
