Y/N: Martha? they won’t bother you ever again. I promise.

Martha takes Y/N’s hand…

Martha; don’t let them take me.

Y/N: they won’t ever find us.

Martha: I love you

Y/N: I love you too, my butterfly

Martha continues eating as Y/N observes…

Y/N: how does it taste?

Martha: really good. A-are we safe?

Y/N: If they ever came after you, they’d have to go thru me, my butterfly.

Martha: and this Continental place can keep us safe?

Y/N: I know management. They’re aware and will allow us to stay here.

Martha: thank you. Thank you so much

Martha hugs Y/N tightly…

Y/N: I won’t allow them near you ever again. If they try, I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all.

Martha X GN Reader

Summary: A Martha Marcy May Marlene Christmas special ;)

A/N: I dedicate this one to @gingerninja-93 @aloneodi @therealdisneyfan2319 @kram6496 @jgmg10 @jacelion @imaginationeuphoria and everybody who read my fics. All of you are awesome!

Christmas

The holiday when family unites, have a great time and the most fun, get presents! But most importantly, the family members have a memorable time that can be described as warming.

Every house on this day only radiates happiness. Christmas is a happy holiday, after all. But when people have gone through so much, their fears tend to get the best of them.

This is what is happening today at Martha's and Y/N's households.

-

Y/N opened their eyes after a long sleep, eyes darting straight to the ceiling of their shared cozy bedroom. They stretched their arms to their left only to feel that side of the bed empty.

The only thing they felt was the humid-like feeling of the bed sheet. They sighed. They quickly connected the dots to what happened.

They got up from the bed, went to the closet, picked up a towel, and headed to the bathroom.

Once inside the bathroom, Y/N's theory was confirmed: Martha had awakened before them.

They proceeded to brush their teeth and take a shower. The warm water falling from the showerhead and eventually soaking their body relaxed them.

Y/N stepped out of the bathroom as they dried themselves with a towel. They picked a navy blue long-sleeve t-shirt and blue jeans, which they completed with brown ankle boots.

Before they made their way out of the bedroom, they opened one of the drawers, moved some stuff out of the way, and pulled out a red velvet box.

Next to the box was a small note that read:

Don't worry much; she'll say yes. Beware my speech for you tonight.

- Lucy

Y/N smiled at the last sentence. It was heartwarming to see how Lucy cared for her sister. They crumbled the paper as they focused on the red velvet box.

They opened the box containing an engagement ring surrounded by emerald-cut diamonds. They saved up to buy it and asked Lucy to help them pick the best ring.

Lucy was the only person who knew that Y/N planned to propose to Martha on Christmas Eve. They had managed to keep it a secret from Martha, or at least they hoped.

They didn't like keeping secrets from Martha, but they made an exception in this case.

They closed the box, slid it into their pocket, and made their way out of the bedroom and into the living room.

As they entered the living room, they noticed the brown-haired woman whose hair barely touched her shoulders. She wore some gray pants, but her red cardigan stood out the most.

They smiled at the view of the woman they truly loved. They went to comfort her. They knew damn well how she was feeling.

Y/N approached Martha, sitting on the carpeted floor in front of the Christmas tree the couple had decorated together a week ago.

They sat to her right on the carpeted floor. Martha held a small ornament of 'Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer'. She was observing as her thumb slowly caressed it.

"Nightmares again?" Y/N questioned in a soft tone.

Martha didn't respond. She kept her eyes on the ornament she was holding.

Y/N sighed. Martha would close off whenever she had nightmares, which happened very often. It would take some time before she would open up. They couldn't blame her for it because they would also try their best to avoid talking about the nightmares they get from time to time.

"It's ok, baby if you don't want to speak now." Y/N continued, "I understand how you feel."

Despite looking like she wasn't listening to Y/N, Martha was very attentive to their words. Their words sounded simple, but they meant a lot to her.

"They're the same nightmares," Martha said unemotionally.

"It's ok, Marty." Marty was the term of endearment Y/N called Martha. "You must remember that those nightmares are caused by stress and anxiety. They're fake." Y/N placed their hand on Martha's back to comfort her.

Martha's eyes darted straight to Y/N's.

"I know, and I'm sorry. It's just that they get the best of me most of the time." Martha murmured.

"You have nothing to apologize for." Y/N started stroking her back. "Just don't let those nightmares ruin your day. It's Christmas, after all."

Martha smiled and rested her head on Y/N's shoulder as they stroked her silky hair. She was glad to have them by her side. They were the only ones who understood what she had been through and how she felt about it.

Y/N rested their head on hers. "How about we go to the mall to buy something nice for your niece." They suggested.

She removed her head from their shoulder and gave them a weird look. Martha had started to go to places accompanied by Y/N slowly but was still wary of going out. She was afraid of encountering her past. Martha wasn't scared of what they would do to her; she was afraid they would try to harm Y/N.

"It will be ok, Marty. We'll stick together the whole time." Y/N reassured. "Go get ready while I wait here." They beamed a smile.

Martha put the ornament down and got up from the carpeted floor. It was evident that her mood had improved. She stopped and looked back as she made her way to the bedroom.

"Y/N," She called their name as they hummed in question.

"Don't abandon me," Martha said as she locked eyes with Y/N.

"Never."

-

Y/N was surprised to see that Martha had enjoyed herself in the mall. They both visited many stores and even shared an ice cream. Martha ended up buying a black dress and a doll for her niece. Y/N helped her wrap it when they got back home.

One thing that stuck with Y/N was how Martha had played 'hide n seek'. She ran inside a toy store and waited for Y/N to find her. It was a sign of improvement.

Y/N was finishing dressing up as they looked at themselves one last time in the mirror. They had never been to those upper-class social parties. So this was a whole new experience for them.

After spraying perfume, they walked out of the room expecting to see Martha excited. It was the contrary.

Martha was sitting on the edge of the couch. Emotionless. Similar to how she was this morning. She was wearing the black dress she had gotten at the mall. Next to her is a makeup bag. It was rare when she used any cosmetics.

Y/N walked to the couch and sat next to her.

"You need help with the makeup?" Y/N asked, trying to distract her from whatever was on her mind.

"Last time I was at one of these, it didn't end too well." Unlike the morning, she had spoken her mind this time.

"Marty, we don't have to go if you don't want to." Y/N turned their body to face her. "You being happy is the best present I could have for Christmas."

Martha looked at them, her eyes getting watery. "I don't deserve you; you deserve better." She said in a trembling voice as some tears rolled down her cheek.

Y/N couldn't hold it anymore. They knew they were supposed to do it over at Lucy's house. But this was when they wanted to tell her how much she meant to them.

They got on their knees in front of her and grabbed both her hands.

"Martha, ever since I met you. I immediately knew you were special in many ways. One of those is that you're a strong woman who deserves everything good life can give her." They brushed away tears falling from her face. "I know that you were taken advantage of by people who claimed to care for you. They made you believe that many things are fake, and it's time we leave them in the past."

Y/N reached for their pocket and brought out the red velvet box. Martha was left in awe expression when she saw it was a ring.

"I want you to let me be the person who will take away your fears because I will be here to protect you. The person who will teach you that you deserve this and much more. But most importantly, let me be the person who will always love you no matter what." Y/N grabbed Martha's left hand and gently slid the ring onto her finger. "Let me be your partner in this life."

Martha's face was now covered in tears. This time the tears were of happiness.

"This all I ever wanted with you," Martha said in a low sweet voice.

Y/N rose a little and connected their lips with Martha's. They were feeling each other's lips. Enjoying the moment This was all they both had ever wanted. To have someone that would love them till the end of their days.

As they broke the kiss, Y/N stood from the floor and sat next to Martha on the couch. Pulling her close to them in the process.

"Can we stay?" Martha asked as she relaxed onto Y/N. "I want to savor this moment."

"Of course, Marty. Your happiness is also my happiness."

Y/N and Martha still had many obstacles to overcome, but it did not matter now. They had just written a new chapter to their story on Christmas Eve.
