Part 2

✿ஜீ۞ஜீ✿•.¸¸.•*•.•ஜீ☼۞☼ஜீ•.•*•.¸¸.•✿ஜீ۞ஜீ✿

She still wasn’t talking and Melina truly didn’t know how to communicate with y/n. She’d only ever heard the girl say two words, ‘thank you’. It was astonishing to Melina that y/n could get even the hardest of tasks done in mere minutes with complete perfection. The girl was always on alert and never once has she objected, she was…very obedient.

Fiona, the assistant Grand ChamberMaiden, had helped y/n communicate, somehow. She had gotten y/n to say a few more words. Though, it was quite difficult for the girl. Fiona didn’t understand why y/n was the way she was until she heard from locals about her childhood and past. Tragic, it truly was.

So, Fiona and Melina, knowing the nature of y/n’s past, acknowledging the fact that she will need assistance if the Lady of the castle were to decide to take y/n as her new… plaything.

After a week or so, y/n was getting better but still stayed silent most of the time.

Alcina, one night, came into her bedroom to see it spotless and flawlessly clean. She was taken aback, no maiden had made her room this clean before, even the month old blood stain on her white carpet was gone. She hummed in approval to herself wondering who the maiden might’ve been, it couldn’t have been an old maiden, it must’ve been the new one.

what was her name? Ah, yes, y/n..

This new maiden seemed exceptional. Though, Alcina would never admit it, she was impressed. The Lady had made the mistake of toying around with every new maiden but it was a mistake she was quite fond of. Alcina’s personal favorites were the ones who could handle scrutiny and judgment. Of course, none of them could, most just cried and stayed silent. Which was…tolerable. But soon enough, she grew tired of their company and set the women on their merry way. But, if they dared to object to Alcina’s wishes they’d be gladly turned into a barrel of wine.

The Matriarch summoned for her head maidens, phoning their rooms, she ordered them to come to her chambers immediately. “Yes, My Lady? What is it that you need?” Melina asked, bowing her head, Fiona shortly following behind her, doing the same.

“Who was assigned to clean my quarters? Last night, to be exact, while I was at that family meeting.” Alcina quite bluntly asked, applying her crimson custom lipstick as she spoke. Melina and Fiona looked at each other in slight fear, could it be that y/n had done something wrong? Or had Alcina found a new toy?

“Well…? I’m not the type of woman who repeats herself.” Alcina coaxed, placing the cap on her lipstick. She fixed her straightened hair, adjusting her well tailored suit. “It was the new maiden, y/n, Mistress” Fiona responded, eyes boring into the ground. Not daring to look at Alcina. The Countess hummed, “bring her to my quarters later” Alcina instructed, Melina’s eyes widened. Alcina couldn’t hurt her. Not like she did every other maiden in the castle. Y/n was too naive and obedient, Alcina would ruin y/n. It’d be even worse if y/n fell in love and got attached to Alcina. The poor girl wouldn’t understand.

“My Lady, I must protest. Y/n isn’t ready. She has vocal problems. You might only find her as a nuisance rather than a new plaything. She’s an incredible maiden, but maybe not for as your plaything..” Melina insisted, trying to keep Alcina from ruining y/n like she did most of the maidens in the castle. Alcina stopped her movements and placed her hands down on the edge of her vanity. “Are you…talking back to me, Miss Thornton?” Alcina seethed, the Countess scoffed and stood up lighting her cigarette. “Be happy, I feel generous today, Melina. And as for your little new maiden. You’ve taken her under your wing I see?”

—————————

Alcina had taken Melina and Fiona’s words into consideration, maybe this new maiden would be a nuisance. But, as Alcina watched from afar she couldn’t help but gawk at the beauty that was her maiden.

Y/n went on, skillfully dusting the table lifting the objects in her way. Alcina watched from above, entranced by her movement. The Countess made a point to watch the girl, but the more she spent admiring fom afar the more Alcina wanted the woman all to herself. “Y/n, darling. Be a doll and fetch me a cigarette” The Matriarch cooed, elegantly sauntering down the stairs and sitting on her favorite lounge chair. The maiden nodded, walking away hurriedly to grab Alcina’s cigarettes and her cigarette holder.

Alcina couldn’t help but study the young girl as she moved, a slight sway in her hips. The way she gently bent down to grab something set a spark in Alcina.

Incredible indeed…

Alcina had thought, a soft hand under her chin as she smirked, the countess shamelessly looked her from head to toe. She certainly was a delicious sight to look at. The young girl looked at Alcina with wonder and curiosity. Was the Matriarch always this flirtacious?

“Oh, don’t mind me, sweet girl. I’ll just be your Admirer from Afar if that’s alright with you?” She smirked, winking at y/n with a mischevious glint in her eye.

As someone who loves character-driven stories above all else, what I appreciate most about Between Us is that it has one thing most BL series don’t have: a major character arc for both leads.

I FUCKING LOVE WHEN BOTH CHARACTERS NEED CHANGE AND LEARN DIFFERENT THINGS FROM EACH OTHER. MWAH. MWAH! 😙🤌

Team begins the series ten years after a traumatizing moment that’s left him muddling through life with chronic insomnia and noxious survivor’s guilt that he keeps entirely to himself. He can’t ever fully enjoy what he believes to be a stolen life and doesn’t want to leave the chasm he’s in without receiving forgiveness from someone who can’t give it to him anymore.

He ends the series able to sleep and communicate his grief and guilt. He isn’t fully healed, but at least he’s trying to get there. He trusts someone enough that he’ll reach for him in his darkest moments, and he’s been comforted by the only other person who still grieves as profoundly as he does.

Meanwhile, Win begins the series defining himself as what he can be for others. He’s the only pillar holding up his family’s roof, his friends’ supporter, vice president of the swim club, volunteer tutor for anyone who asks, etc. The strain of a transactional life has convinced him he’s going to be alone forever.

He ends the series with someone who saw his kindness and refused to stop showing his gratitude for it. He has someone who’ll put him first, who wants him to hear that he’s appreciated, who’s making him believe that who he is has far more value than what he can do for others.

I didn’t know what we’d get from Between Us, and sure, there are minor things I’d change about it if I could (mainly additions from the novel), but I love their story and how beautifully and gently they changed each other.

I think that’s how I’d describe their story: gentle.

[maggiezw]

You may find this silly, Torfun. Before this, I was into expensive model cars. But just with bamboo sticks, paper and rope, I can have fun as well. The funny thing is that this simple stuff gave me more fun than those toys I played at home. I understand what you said now. Happiness, sometimes, is in simple things and doesn't need a lot of money.

Finally received my copy of the first Magilumiere print volume from VIZ Media. Here it is beside my copy of the first Japanese volume. I don't have the space to be double-dipping on things but Magilumiere is an exception.

If you have enjoyed reading the series for free via official digital channels and you have the cash spare, I highly recommend supporting the official release that's local to you (or close enough, per me supporting the US release).

And if you haven't checked the series out on Manga Plus, now's your chance to get started in book-form before the anime series debuts in October-ish!

Farewell to My Heart PT. 2

MINORS DO NOT ENGAGE!

WARNING: SLIGHT NSFW, ANGST, DRINKING

»»————-　★　————-«« Today was the day. The goodbye’s and giggle’s would count. Today. “Rebecca?” y/n called from the hall, Rebecca was snapped out of her thoughts, she had almost forgotten about the events of…last night.

“Uh, yes? Darling?” Y/n came to her side and cuddled her, a groan escaping her mouth, “Are you alright?” Rebecca quipped, turning so y/n was in her arms. “Just hungover…and upset” y/n mumbled, Rebecca frowned and placed several kisses on the younger woman’s face, neck and bare chest. “You look ravishing in my robe, my sweet”

Y/n cheeks turned a deep red as Rebecca pulled her closer and played with the tie. “I could make us breakfast, but I already know what I want…” she whispered, y/n giggled, “do you now?”

Rebecca hummed, pushing y/n into the kitchen counter. Whining, y/n pressed her legs together to relieve some of the tension. Biting on her lower lip, Rebecca came closer, teasingly leaving her robe open for y/n to see. Swallowing hard, y/n managed to choke out a few words, “I- you- uh, uhm, very- fuck me please.” Rebecca’s smirk grew wider as she fell to her knees, “so needy for me aren’t you?” She husked unraveling her lover’s robe, leaving her bare body on display on for Rebecca to see.

ring. ring.

Y/n’s phone rang, but that didn’t stop Rebecca from peppering kisses all over y/n’s glorious thighs, leaving love marks, and skipping the places she needed to be touched the most. “H-Higgins?” Y/n stuttered, panting like she had run a marathon, putting the phone on speaker, she placed it on the counter for both of them to hear. “Practice is starting in a few minutes where are you?” He questioned, y/n gripped the cold countertop, “I- I’m getting ready right now! I had a little a- accident in the kitchen this morn- -ING” she yelped at Rebecca licking a strip up her aching center. “Oh, well, I hope you’re quite alright. Are you sure you don’t need help?”

“Yes- YES- I’ll be there in a jiffy! BYE!” Y/n hung up, moaning and whining out when Rebecca stopped, “I know, love. But duty calls.”

——————————

At the club, Rebecca didn’t hold back from showing her affection. Of course, it wasn’t over the top. But tiny kisses here and there and her arm wrapped securely around y/n’s waist never felt so right.

In the last moments of the day, y/n retreated to Rebecca’s office. Coming inside and shutting the door she saw that her love gazed mindlessly off into the distance. She obviously hadn’t picked up on her presence, “Rebecca? Honey?” Snapping out of her thoughts, she immediately cheered up when she saw the face of the woman she loved so dearly, “Oh, my darling girl! What brings you in here? Aren’t the boys bombarding you with gifts and tears?” She joked, rounding her desk and hugging you tightly, she never wanted you to leave her. Ever.

“I just needed to see you, my flight’s at 10:00…” Rebecca’s smile faded, “I-“ tears formed, she couldn’t let them fall, no, she just couldn’t.

“I understand.” Her voice cracked as she plastered on a small smile, “Rebecca..” y/n comforted, trying to get the older blonde to finally open up, “No, I’m fine. Really.” She said, the tears in her eyes threatening to fall. “Lies, all lies, Rebecca, and you know it.” Y/n said sternly, “I- I know…I just can’t bear to see you leave…and-“ she finally let out a sob, hugging y/n tightly she couldn’t stop herself from crying. Y/n guided the heartbroken woman to the couch where they sat cuddling into each-other until Rebecca had calmed down. “I’m gonna miss you so much..” She choked out, wiping more tears away, Y/n only smiled and took away her hands kissing the salty tears away.

———————

with only a few hours left with y/n, she spent every moment with her, not once leaving her side. Rebecca drank away her sadness, feeling the burn of the alcohol made her swallow hard, “Becca, you really need to not get drunk, please.” Rebecca groaned, “Fine. But I only promise that for now,I don’t promise that I won’t do it later”

Y/n knew that she couldn’t stop Rebecca from drinking, not this time at least. Rebecca was hurting, pretty badly too.Rebecca had spent the past hour just holding the younger woman in her arms with the occasional kiss on the forehead or words of endearment.

It was hard to believe that, y/n, the y/n that made her smile after feeling useless. The y/n that could make any gloomy day seem just as bright as the brightest star. She was the glue that kept the team together when they’d feud, she was the extra kit man some days to make sure the employees had reasonable break times and not just to tend to the boys all day, non-stop. Being in her presence made her feel loved, safe even. It made her feel secure and confident like she could do anything. She was everything Rupert wasn’t.

Rebecca was always confident, especially when she felt good about her self that day. But when Rupert came around, it all seemed to go to waste. She still held that self-assured aura but it seemed to falter the minute he stepped into the room, his life mission was to ruin her, make sure she was alone the rest of her life, but him sabotaging her is what made y/n so deeply in love.

So, when the time came that y/n needed to leave, Rebecca was a mess. Though she still said her goodbye, embracing Y/n tightly until it was y/n’s boarding time.

Rebecca’s heart shattered seeing the woman she loved so dearly walk away. But at least she’d be happy…

“Farewell, My Heart.”
