#anyways happy birthday maria ily

[negativefouriq]

my youngest sister turned twelve today, and she’s the funniest kid alive. every single one of us went to staples and went ham, and she’s stoked. i’ve never seen a kid so pumped about office supplies before. she put on her new lipgloss, opened her planner and took our her new erasable pen and conned me into playing ‘very busy office lady’ for an hour. we conducted interviews, booked time off, scheduled deliveries and everything. she was having the time of her life. i love weird little girls

INTERVIEWING CATHERINE SUNFLOWER

thanks for the tag @sirfluffig ily!!!!!!!

(I wrote this lazily and while Cat does speak casually it might still not be perfect sorryyy)

This takes part after Catherine's 5th year, they're interviewing her because they found out what happened with Rakepick.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What's your name?→ "My name is Catherine Maria Sunflower. Ah, it feels weird to introduce myself with my middle name, haha. Thought I'd be a tad more formal, since it's an interview and all."

Are you single?→ "I wouldn't say so, not unless my partner decided to run away during this interview."

Are you happy?→ "It's a weird time for me right now, I'm not really sure how I feel. Should I feel happy? I don't feel happy is the right word."

Are your parents still married?→ "Good question. I haven't seen my father in years. That being said, I'm not sure my parents ever officially separated, so by law they'd still be...married? Never thought about that actually."

-

EIGHT FACTS

birthplace→ "If you couldn't figure by my weird accent already, I'm irish. Though my mother was actually born and raised in Greece."

hair colour→ "It's er...light brown. Hazel? It's a light brown. Gets a bit funky in the sunshine."

eye colour→ "Traditional Sunflower gold. It's an odd eye colour, from my understanding my family was cursed some generations ago and the gold eyes that came with the curse have stuck. Despite it being a curse they all seem quite proud of it. Go figure."

birthday→ "The 9th of June, 1973."

mood→ "As I said, I can't exactly describe my current mood. I would say I'm still processing some things. It's that feeling when you're feeling all emotions and no emotions at the same time. You felt that?"

gender→ "Despite what some teases from school like to say, I am a lady!"

summer or winter→ "As a kid, I loved winter and the snow. Loved it, favourite season. But having spent so much time in cold, freezing Scotland I might have to say I quite miss a warm summer."

morning or afternoon→ "I'd love to say morning, really. The sunshine, the quiet and the birds singing. But I can't, because I'm not a morning person at all! It's hell for me to wake up so early every morning! So afternoon, I suppose."

-

EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE

are you in love→ "That's a strong word. Love. I would say...maybe? For now I'm happy where I am, that's a more solid answer."

do you believe in love at first sight→ "Well, not love! Like I said that's a strong, strong word! Of course you can develop an interest at first sight, but not love itself. Sorry if that disappoints anyone."

who ended your last relationship→ "As it happens I am currently in my first relationship! So no one, yet."

have you ever broken someone's heart→ "I've had to reject someone. One of my friends, in fact. It felt bad and I hope I didn't actually 'break his heart'. Gosh, now I feel bad."

are you afraid of commitments→ "As afraid of commitments a 16 year old would be, i imagine. I think I'm generally okay with commitments. I'd love to have a family of my own sometime in the future, I feel maybe I could handle it."

have you hugged someone within the last week?→ "I'm big on hugs, me! I've hugged many people by now, and I plan on hugging more if need be. My arms are always wide open."

have you ever had a secret admirer→ "Well if it's a secret admirer I wouldn't know it, would I? I don't know. I hope not because it would complicate things, seeing as I already have a relationship. But I would be fluttered."

have you ever broken your own heart?→ "I was quite a bit sad when I realized my first love wouldn't happen. But does it count as a heartbreak when you're 13? Or was I 14... Anyways, I've found someone new and everything is okay."

-

SIX CHOICES

love or lust→ "At this age, I don't really know lust as a feeling so much, honestly. But love is tender, and sweet and calm. I think I would pick it anyway."

lemonade or iced tea→ "I have a strong belief that tea is to be served hot only! It's a winter drink! It's an 'I'm sick and I'm in a warm blanket' drink! So for cold beverages, it's definitely lemonade."

cats or dogs→ "I seem to have a strong connection to cats... Dogs can be quite scary if I'm being honest."

a few best friends or many regular friends→ "I've been told I use the word 'friends' very lightly. I do have a few close friends that I mostly hang out with and enjoy the company of, but if you're a person I like you're automatically someone I call a friend."

wild night out or romantic night in→ "Depends on the mood, really, I can go for both! Usually it's up to my partner, because I'm indecisive as hell!"

day or night→ "I do enjoy a quiet starry night, but the day'll have to do it. I really am like a sunflower, need the sun to get my energy!"

-

FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS

been caught sneaking out→ "My brother has, for sure. Constantly sneaking out, he did. One time we wanted to go to a fair nearby so he snuck me out too. We did get caught but I'm not sure if it counts. Does it?"

fallen down/up the stairs→ "I fell down the stairs all the time as a kid! I tend to run down the stairs very often, though I know it's dangerous. The stairs at Hogwarts probably gave me a scare, and stopped me from running down them. Becoming a prefect also helped, giving me a sense of responsibility and all."

wanted something/someone so badly it hurt?→ "Definitely. Kept me up during the night, as well. I don't think I need to point out what I'm talking about, it's rather obvious isn't it? I do have quite the reputation already."

wanted to disappear→"I've never wanted to disappear, because there would always be someone I leave behind. I wouldn't want anyone close to me to feel what I felt when my father or my brother disappeared. It would be wrong. I do occasionally wish that my life was different, that I was in a different world, maybe, where everything was calmer, but not to disappear and leave everyone behind."

-

FOUR PREFERENCES

smile or eyes→ "Eyes during a smile!"

shorter or taller→ "If you're asking for a partner, I think shorter. I like being the tall one. But in general I don't care. All heights are good and nice"

intelligence or attraction→ "Bit of both?"

hook-up or relationship→ "All for relationship. Apart from the fact that I'm 15 and I don't do hook-ups, I feel like having a steady relationship would be best."

-

FAMILY

do you and your family get along→ "You're gonna have to specify the member, haha. The relationship I have with my mum, for example, is quite different from the one I have with my grandad. Completely different worlds. But I would say I'm in generally good terms with most of my family."

would you say you have a "messed up life"→ "That's an unnecessary question. You wouldn't be here if I didn't. Unless you're looking to interview a normal and morning student in which case in afraid I'm going to ask you to find someone else!"

have you ever run away from home→ "I did think of doing so sometimes, when I was a little girl! But as I said, no. I couldn't leave people behind. It would be too much to bare."

have you ever gotten kicked out→ "Not yet! Haha..."

-

FRIENDS

do you secretly hate one of your friends→ "Dearie me, I could never! I find it hard to hate anyone, really. Which can actually be bad."

do you consider all of your friends good friends→ "Well, er, I suppose? I don't think of anyone as a horrible friend. I don't really want to set a standard, friendship isn't a school test. I think... I think everyone is okay."

who is your best friend→ "I might have one or two that I like a tad bit more, but I know my friends will be reading this and I don't want them to think I play favourites. I love you all!"

who knows everything about you→ "Everything? As in, everything everything? Not sure there is anyone. There are some things I only tell my mom, I only tell my best friend or I only tell my partner. And there are some things I tell nobody. I think people know bits of me, but not the whole me at once."

-

"Will that be all? Lovely. It was really nice to be with you, I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day! I do need to get back to my dorm before it gets dark, so it's a goodnight from me!"

Catherine walks happily until she's out of sight. The interviewer is baffled from the girl's joyful nature, considering some of her melancholic answers. The interview just conducted ended up leaving them with more questions than before.

the Last Hour.

A/N: super late like....so unbelievably late I can’t even (I am so sorry it took forever) but here it is @yeol-stole-my-soul, your birthday gift....ily honey (as much as you loved ‘Twenty Four’ lolol)

The pace of the subway is slowly lulling you to sleep, head on your husband’s shoulder as he holds something small against his chest. 

Your cheek nuzzles against the soft fabric of his sweater, his coat slung over your shoulders to stop the shivering caused by the harsh winter right outside the window.

You know you shouldn’t fall asleep, your house was close and you’d never be able to get up in the morning and make it to work on time if you took a nap right here. But the night falling around you and the movement of the slowly rocking subway was too hard to resist, eyes fluttering shut.

“Don’t you dare fall asleep,” Jackson whispers, slight tease in his voice as he bends his head to reach your ear.

You feel the frown form on your lips, brows furrowing as your burrow closer to him, “Shhhhh, lemme sleep for a second. Just wake me up at our stop.”

He chuckles, shifting a little for a more comfortable position, “Baby, you won’t be able to fall asleep when we get back. And you have to be up to turn in your new piece at the office early tomorrow morning. Try to stay awake.”

Irritation bubbles on the surface, prickling your skin. “Wang Jiaer,” you say, arms crossing and head feeling heavy, “I love you to the moon and back four thousand and one times but please. I’m so tired, we were out all day.”

A wimper sounds from his arms and your head snaps up to see your three old daughter Sooyoung wiggling in her father’s grasp. Jackson chuckles, suddenly cooing at his precious princess as she slowly opens her tired eyes to look at you. She says nothing, incredibly quiet when she’s exhausted, only smiling when you smile at her first. Her cheeks puff up, a habit she adopted from her Uncle Jinyoung, her eyes scrunching in happiness. You wind your arms through Jackson’s as you lay your head back down, just grinning at your little girl as she lets out a breathy giggle. Your slight irritation and mild sleepiness disappear in an instant, face contorting into something funny to make her laugh again. 

She’s amused, little fists hitting Jackson’s chest in a way that you know she picked up from her Uncle Youngjae, his fists just a bit heavier and laugh just a bit (alot) louder. Her butt wiggles and suddenly her face is buried in her father’s chest and he’s visibly melting at the sight. 

“You love her so much,” you whisper, watching his eyes shine as he stares at her.

He looks at you, nodding with no hesitation. “Of course I do. How could I not? Look at her, she’s perfect. The most perfect thing. We made this, I’ll love her forever.”

Your heart swells as she falls asleep slowly again, Jackson rocking her as the subway comes to a stop. You grab your bag and get off onto the platform, Jackson’s hand in yours as he cradles Sooyoung against his other side. 

Tokyo is still very much alive, even with the slightly late hour, people bustling about and lights bright as you weave through the crowd. You’re used to it now, your move to Tokyo over five years ago. Jackson stays close, politely bowing to vendors offering foods or little trinkets.

Before you know it, you’ve entered your more quite neighborhood, houses dark as you climb the hill to your home. 

You feel so content, husband’s hand in yours as your daughter makes small snoring noises from her tiny nose. The night is hushed around your family and you can’t help but zone out a bit as your house comes into view. 

Jackson pulls you back gently and you turn to look at him, “Something wrong?”

He shakes his head, “Nothing. Just...as slowly as you can, grab the wrapped box inside Sooyoung-ah’s backpack.”

You cock an eyebrow in suspicion but do it anyway, carefully unzipping the big compartment of her child sized backpack. 

The box is small, a red bow tied around it, and you meet Jackson’s eyes, “...what is this for?”

He laughs, “Your birthday, duh. It’ll be tomorrow in like - an hour. So go on, open it.”

You grin, your birthday was tomorrow but you weren’t expecting anything until morning when Sooyoung would most likely throw all her weight onto the bed before announcing a birthday breakfast. You untie the ribbon carefully, looping it around your finger, and open the box. 

The necklace is dainty, the pendant engraved with the letters of your first name, Jackson’s, and Sooyoung’s. It’s perfect and eyes tear up as you lift it out to stare at it.

“Jackson,” you whisper, “it’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you.”

He pulls you closer, muttering ‘you’re welcome’ against your lips. You push your hair back, putting it on and turning towards him, “Pretty?”

“The prettiest.”

He grabs your hand again and you start to walk, hands swinging between you. 

“Mommy,” a sudden and quiet voice says.

“Yes sweet cakes?”

Sooyoung rubs at her eyes, blinking lazily while she keeps her head on her dad’s chest, “Happy birthday, I love you.”

You smile, pressing a kiss against her forehead, “Thank you baby. I love you too.”

Jackson throws his free arm around your shoulders, pulling you close, and in the last hour of the day, you’re so unbelievably happy you never stopped searching the streets of Tokyo for the love that lead you here.

A/N: again, I am so sorry it took forever Maria lol but happy (late) birthday I LOVE YOU LOTS
