TW: Cheating, subtle threats of violence

Y/N’s POV

I woke up with the worst headache of my life, gently turning over to find a water bottle and tylenol beside me. I groan as I move to sit up, feeling my body's exhaustion from the lack of movement yesterday and the tear caused dehydration. Then there's also the fact that I'm embarrassed of the state I was in, and that the redheads saw me in yesterday.

I didn't expect to cry in Wanda's arms, I was vulnerable, and they were just being so gentle. They went out of their way to take care of me by cleaning up my space and ensuring I ate dinner. The moment she told me they loved me it just burst the flood gates back open. It sounded almost like a confession, not just a simple—I love you, but that's just crazy...

It's currently 5AM, and there's absolutely no way I'm making it back to sleep, so I'm just going to take a shower. The flowers and chocolate covered strawberries are set for a 7AM delivery anyways.

As I get out, I decide to still get dressed up for the day. Serena shouldn't be out, doing God knows what with Dick—Dave, while I cry myself into exhaustion on my favorite day of the year. I had wanted out of this relationship for months, I should be grateful, but something about being cheated on just hurts.

I make it to the kitchen, then grab out the ingredients necessary to make breakfast for my favorite people. Wanda, Natasha and I are the only ones here today. Everyone else is either on extravagant holiday trips, or missions.

I pull out all the red fruit possible to make an on theme for the day smoothie. Then I make them some heart shaped red velvet pancakes, with chocolate chips in them.

I place a tray on the counter, placing their individual plates of pancakes on the sides of it, then placing the smoothies behind the plates. Then I place the freshly delivered black and red roses in a vase, then settle it on the tray between the plates. Lastly, I split up the strawberries, taking four for myself, and setting four a piece on their plates.

Once I'm happy with my display, having set two gift bags to the side, I make my way to my room with my leftover goodies. Knocking on their door as I leave a post it note for them.

"Happy Valentine's Day!! The kitchen awaits(;"

I hear their door opening, just as mine shuts. Hopeful that they'll enjoy it, and not thinking that I'm creepy or something. They said "I love you," and might think I'm diluted enough to think I'm welcome in their relationship.

I'm not stupid though, I know that their love for me is friendly, and sadly, mine isn't.

Wanda's POV

Y/N knocked on our door, but she was gone in an instant, and that was absolutely disappointing. I can feel her feelings have shifted today. She's angrier, and slightly embarrassed, and I can only assume that it's over last night. The truth is, I loved being able to take care of her, I know Nat did too. We just hated that she had to be heartbroken for us to be able to.

"Y/N/N's left instructions for us to go to the kitchen." I shout to Natasha, who's currently meditating—I assume so she doesn't kill Serena.

Her intrusive thoughts have been so loud ever since Y/N cried in my arms last night. I almost want to indulge her and help her carry them out, but not without the full story.

"Well, let's go check it out." Natasha says, pulling me from my equally intrusive thoughts, then down the stairs.

As we approach the kitchen I see this beautiful display set up for us.

"Wow..." Natasha gasps.

"It's absolutely beautiful, far better than what I had planned for us." I laugh out, appreciating the beauty of the display, but then saddening at the thought that these are just leftovers from Serena.

"Your thoughts are loud lyubov', I promise you this is all for us, outside of the strawberries that is. Those were definitely pre planned for her." Natasha speaks, somehow reading my mind, and emphasizing her distaste for Serena in the end.

"How do you know?" I ask, slightly pouting as I wrap my arms around her, and meet her gaze. She leans forward and repeatedly pecks my lips until my pout eventually fades into a smile.

"Well, because that wretched woman liked peonies, and as I can faintly smell them, I can guarantee you they're up in Y/N's room. The roses fit our aesthetic perfectly, there's two gift bags to the side, meaning this was always meant for us. I'm pretty certain our suspicions of reciprocated love are correct. We just haven't been obvious enough with our feelings, she's probably just terrified of rejection; especially after the current heartbreak." Natasha deduces, filling me in, and the more she speaks the more it all makes sense.

We didn't see Y/N all morning, choosing to give her the space she might need this morning. We placed a sweet thank you note to her door for breakfast then left to our room. We exchanged our Valentine's gifts with one another, then separated to go get ready for this fancy lunch we had never intended to partake in.

"Wow, look at you two, the absolutely gorgeous creatures you are!" Y/N shouts, as she comes down the stairs right as we're about to leave.

"Us?! Look at you, you look lovely Y/N/N." I reply, stunned to see her all dolled up, in comparison to her tee and sweats from yesterday.

"You coming with us?" Nat shamelessly asks, hopeful eyes taking in Y/N's features.

"No, the reservations were for two, plus, you  two deserve a romantic date before you find yourselves stuck watching movies with me later."

"Well, that's an absolute shame, because you look far too good to not be seen out with us." Nat quickly quips back flirtatiously, winking in her direction.

She rolls her eyes playfully, as she instantly flusters at her comment.

"Also, we only agreed to lunch if you were to watch movies with us, because that's genuinely what we want to do. Being stuck with you sounds heavenly." I add on, nothing but sincerity lacing my tone.

She smiles sweetly, then pulls us into a group hug, then swiftly turns us around and lightly shoves us to the door.

"Goodbye lovebirds, you don't want to be late." 

"Goodbye dorogoy, we'll miss you." I coo, as I shut the door.

Nat's POV

The hostess at the front was sickeningly sweet, but her eyes were screaming 'please hit me with a crowbar' as she escorted us to our seats. I almost felt like putting the both of us out of our misery, as this date isn't really my scene. I feel far too exposed, but Y/N looked so hopeful that I found the strength to come here.

"This place is nice, I can see why Y/N loves it so much." Wanda muses, as she takes her seat across from me and looks over the menu.

"Yeah... She loves places like this." I agree.

As I go over the menu myself, my phone pings.

*Venmo: Y/N-Y/L/N has sent you $100 for 'Lunch is on me ❤️'*

"That little shit sent us money for lunch." I groan, and Wanda chuckles as she places her hand atop of mine on the table.

"Not even our girlfriend yet and she's spoiling us, we might be in trouble." She giggles out, and it's truly one of my top five favorite sounds to hear.

As her giggles die down, our waiter arrives to take our order.

"I'm going to have the Cotto Benedict, with a Bloody Mary and my girlfriend here will have the Skirt Steak, and eggs with a mimosa as her drink. Then, we'd also like an order of the French toast to go, please have the kitchen make it after we have our meals." Wanda orders for us, knowing exactly what I want without having to ask—or looking into my mind.

I smile up at her as the waiter retreats, starting to find more comfort in this date than I expected. All my comfort was torn away from me when I heard that laugh. God, that laugh, it was as if dying hyenas were all cackling one after the other, on an endless loop.

"No fucking way..." Wanda gasps, turning in the direction that the sound came from, then aggressively gripping onto her cup at the sight.

Sitting in a booth just three table lengths away was Serena, laughing like there was no tomorrow. Her head was thrown back, and her hands were all over this man, one was placed on his chest, as the other was on his arm.

Everything hits me all at once, as all the pieces seem to fall into place, filling in the gaps Y/N didn't. Y/N's not broken by losing Serena—no, she's broken by what clearly took place. She's far too practical to feel relief due to a breakup but still cry like it was the end of the world. Serena obviously cheated on her, what a stupid girl, clearly didn't think things through. Before Wanda could talk some sense into me, my legs were already moving me to her table.

I stood there steaming, as she had raised her glass to me, not even sparing me a glance. It figures she would treat her server like this, then I take a glance at her date, and he has the right response plastered upon his face—fear. As she takes in his face, she slowly trails her gaze towards me, and dramatically drops the glass flute to the floor.

"Na-atasha, what are you doing here?" She stutters out.

"Well I was enjoying a lovely date with my girlfriend Wanda, then I was rudely interrupted by your grating laughter. Then I look up to see you're out with a downgrade." I reply with a calmness to my tone, which is actually a sign of danger for her.

"Look, I don't know what Y/N told you, but we broke up, and I'm free to be with who I please." She replies, an air of confidence filling her chest.

Silly girl...

"Yeah, I always knew you were dumb, but never would I expect you to be this careless with her heart, let alone your life." I slightly threaten her.

Her boyfriend seems to have left the table, she's stuck in place, partially due to the shock, but also because I've blocked her into her booth.

"You know, you never deserved her... Always taking her for granted, taking all her love and giving her nothing but crumbs in return. Then you go out of your way to crush her by cheating on her. Here she is still trying to protect you too, she didn't tell us the full story, and now I know why. You're a disgrace Serena... That girl loved you with all her heart, and you couldn't even properly break up with her." I quietly seethe, as she stares blankly at me, repeatedly blinking in attempt to hold back her tears.

"Now, as much as I want to rip you apart, limb by limb, I won't. Y/N, for some reason, wants you to be left unscathed, so I'll let you go because I love her enough to respect that. I do however take pride in knowing I just ran your date off, it also looks like he had wet his pants too. You really picked a fine replacement for yourself..." I continue on, chuckling as I see that the confidence she once had, has now completely faded away.

"Ty grebanyy tupitsa, ya mozhet i ne prichinyu tebe fizicheskogo vreda, no luchshe pover', chto ya tebya pogublyu." I mutter my threats in Russian, meaning every word, then slightly moving to the side as I watch her scurry out of the restaurant.

(You're a fucking dumbass, I might not hurt you physically, but best believe I will ruin you.)

I take a napkin, leaving all of her information on it for the servers, as she has now committed a crime by dining and dashing. Not even one minute in, and I've already began to succeed in my threats.

I then come down from my anger induced state, remembering my beautiful Sokovian girlfriend that I came here with. I slowly turn to face her with a sheepish smile, expecting to see a look of disapproval, but instead I see her smirking as her eyes swim with amusement. She's currently holding onto three to-go bags, then I notice that both of our flutes have been emptied.

"Now that you've had your well deserved fun, what do you say to us getting out of here? I think it's time we take this back home, and eat with our girl, huh?" Wanda states, extending her arm out to me, and I move swiftly to take it.

"Let's go get her, moya lyubov'!" I excitedly agree, softly kissing her lips, then pulling back quickly as excitement courses through my veins.

[pbandjesse]

So I'm writing this from a hospital bed! First time I've ever said that before. I am waiting to get a rabies shot. Cool cool cool. I am mostly terrified but using humor to cope with it. 

Today was a sleepy and lazy day. I had a horrible time waking up. But I forced myself out of bed at 10. I had a tiny breakfast. And got to work on putting things away in my studio. I was to hot but I was pretty productive. 

I played a little Stardew valley. And played with Sweetp. But I wanted to do more art. 

I would catch up on all my knitting and finally get to start working on the layouts for the Aesop's book. 

James brought me the prints yesterday and I spent some time cutting them down and setting up the pages. I would get four prints done towards the end of the afternoon. But it took a surpringly long time to piece everything together and I didn't want to rush because I was tired. So instead I just took breaks. 

I would lay around. Eat a leftover taco. Try to wake up. But I couldn't. I just felt so tired and it was hard to do much of anything at all. 

It really was just to hot and I was still dealing with my feelings from last night. Sleep did help. But I was emotionally tired. 

James would come home while I was finishing the printing I was doing.  They brought me donuts and I was just happy to have them home. 

We spent the afternoon chilling. We ordered Indian food and it was a little spicier then I wanted but was still very good.  

Eventually I went to lay down. James would make rice pudding that was very good. And I took a bath and used my new hair oil and things were good. 

I was a little restless but that was okay. James would come in our room when their mom called and said there was a stray cat lose in their house. And wanted James to come home. 

I offered to come too. I'm good at catching animals. I'd done this before. So we both got back into clothes from our pajamas and headed to the fulwiler house. 

Honesyly at first things were fine. Cat was under the bed. I got it by the neck and pulled it out no problem. But James wasn't ready with the towel and I lost grip and it went south from there. 

In grabbing it a second time under the dresser it got me three times. On both hands. And the one hurt very very bad and made a sound. I had put a sweatshirt on at this point to protect from scratching but I wasn't ready for such strong bites. 

But I got it and James wrapped.it up and ran it outside. 

My hands had blood on them and I felt a little bit in a daze. I went to the kitchen to wash them off and no one seemed to get how much pain I was in. I was very worried. My brain went to rabies. To infections. This was a deep puncture. 

I ran my hands under cool water. And James got the first aid kit and cleaned me up and bandages but I was still shaken up. 

We said goodbye, they thanked us. And we headed out. But I was freaking out a bit. I was googling what to do and everything said if it's a stray to go to the er. 

I am still unsure if I have insurance. The whole thing got messed up and so I was panicking about that. But I also was very worried about rabies. 

So we went to the ER. And thankfully didn't have to wait to long. And this hospital is apparently known for their hand unit?? Wild. Everyone was very nice and I only cried a little because I was scared. 

I got an x-ray. And got to see my bones which was neat. I got two very burnt shots in my legs and one in my left arm. Then I had to soak my hands in iodine and saline for a half hour which made me feel like an Easter egg. 

Me and James were mostly joking because I don't know how else to deal with fear. But I was, and am, scared. The x-ray was scary. The bending and prodding of my very swollen fingers was scary. The needles were scary. 

But we handled it. And there was some waiting. But we were there less then 3 hours total. We are both tired and stressed. I don't know what happens with work tomorrow. I texted Alexi. I think I'll still make it for my afternoon programs. But I have to go figure out a prescription in the morning. Which is very scary for me. I don't even want to think about how much everything is going to cost. I just feel so dumb. And I'm hurting. 

We just got discharged and we're almost home. I'm going to ice my on hand and go to sleep. I hope the swelling goes down because my right hand feels so bad right now.  

I hope tomorrow is better. This last week has been a lot of my shoulders and now this. Sucks. 

Goodnight everyone. 

[pbandjesse]

I feel a little overwhelmed because I'm going to be working more days. And now I'm scared of that. Which is dumb. I have worked plenty. I think it's just knowing I'm working so many days. That it feels a little overwhelming. Like I'm thankful but also. Scared of leaving my house. That's not even actually true. But that's what my stomach is says when I look at my calendar and so many days are now assigned.

But it's good. It will be good.

It was a good day. I slept okay enough. But I wouldn't leave early with James. I woke up at 7 and James came in and I was like. Hey. I need to keep resting. So James said they would see me in a few and I slept a little longer.

I woke up for real at 8. Got washed up and dressed. I felt very cute. It would be very warm today. I left here with my printmaking stuff. And went to get breakfast.

I ate in my car. It was a nice drive even if the sun was in my eyes. I got to work and kissed on James. And then went to help set up the programs.

I had two sewing programs and then I was watching Kristin in the cannery. The school would come s bit early but wanted to leave early so we actually only had 40 minutes of an hour program. So that was stressful!!

But it went well. I set up all the needles and would teach the kids to do a whip stitch because they were 7th graders. And that went okay. They needed more help then I expected. But that is okay. It was still fun. Just a lot to do.

The kids were really nice though. The teachers were great and I just had a fun morning.

After I set the program for the third group I went to eat my lunch. The last program I had was an overlap cannery. Which basically means the cannery before is still happening and John was leading the program in the main hall instead of the classroom. I made sure all the tags and things were there and watched out in the hall because I didn't know when he would be ready. And that worked out well because I handed out all the tags and took the management to the office. I would help get Mr Platt the info they needed. It all worked out well.

I was mostly watching Kristin in the print shop. Some stuff went wrong. The chase was set but a piece was in the wrong place do it wasn't sitting correctly. The green press wasn't printing right and was coming out very light. And then the black press exploded. I know how to fix two of these things. John is going to show me how to fix the green press so I can do that as needed. But while fixing the other two things I got ink just all over my hands. Which would again my fingernails. So now I am painting my nails. But at work I would scrub them and get off as much as I could.

Once the kids were done I took a little break. Then went to sit with James. We talked and held hands. There wasn't a ton I needed to do. I was mostly just waiting for Alexis to come take a video for my program. She's in charge of a lot of the social media stuff. So it was fun showing her some prints. And I ink up some stuff. And then she was very excited to see our other coworkers. As she used to be an educator way back before the pandemic. So it was just very sweet having everyone together for a little while.

I hung out just to chat for a while. Went to the car to bring in the leftover supplies from my outreach yesterday. But soon it was time to go home.

But what I actually did first was go and get a smoothie. It's all I wanted all day. I drove up to the shopping center. Went to the dollar tree. Got a couple things. And got my strawberry lemonade smoothie. Which was excellent.

I came back here. It was a little after 3. There was a bunch of mail. Including my new bathing suit and the birthday gifts I got myself. I had fun opening everything. The bathing suit is even nicer in person and I'm super happy with that.

I started working on my knitting when James got home. They would put the dishes away. We were watching our own videos. Then they made me rice. I was really happy because it was warm and I was starting to feel cold.

The sun started going down. We played Pokemon. Had a lot of laughs. And eventually I would have all my Pokemon die on me. So it was time to go do my embroidery.

I was trying to make the tent I've had since highschool. But it's not very legible behind all the other stuff. I know what it is though and that's all that matters.

I took a bath for my skin next. Which has been looking better since I found that bottle of medication when I was at my parents. Which I will run out of and we'll be back where we started. But at least I'm not hurting as bad today.

I started painting my nails after my bath. And now we are in bed. I work at the science center tomorrow night. And I hope to just have a chill day before then.

Sleep well everyone. Take care of yourselves. Goodnight!!

[pbandjesse]

It's been another sleepy day but it was also very productive. My back hurt right now though so i didn't get as much studio stuff don't as i wanted. But that's alright. 

I slept okay last night. I got tangled in my blankets and that woke me up a few times. But that was okay. James woke me up to say goodbye. And i slept for a little longer. But soon enough I got up and felt pretty good. 

I got washed up and dressed. I had the rest of my chipotle from yesterday for breakfast. And decided it was time to attack the shelves. 

It took me almost 3 hours. Taking everything down. Wiping away all the dust. I decided to put all the books on the lower shelves first and then after i put all the stuff and knickkacks on the higher shelves. Some books made their way up to add some balance. I'm really happy with how they look. I also had a nice time putting the Christmas in better places. And i decided to get another set of string lights. 

So once everything was away i decided to clean up the kitchen shelf too and i felt really productive and good. I was excited to show James later on. 

But it was after noon now. I decided to drive out to target. I got myself together. Headed to the car. Ran into Mr Will. He had new glasses and i didn't even recognize him. He said he's going to get James a pumpkin latte for his birthday. He's so sweet. 

I had a good time at target even if it was to busy. I got pretty much everything I was there for. I forgot to get hair gel but that's alright. I still have enough left. I did forget to get tortilla chips and so after i left target i stopped at the grocery store and got them there. 

I did get some stuff for camping while i was at target. And some things for James. I also got vegetarian popcorn chicken. I hope it's good. 

I got home around 2 and would have to go meet James at 4. So i had lunch. And watched some videos. Played a little animal crossing. Tried not to feel stressed for no reason. 

I just out some frog bodies. And then i made hot chocolate using the toasted coconut flavor almond coconut milk blend. It was excellent. I used the new cup i got today and it stayed hot for at least the three hours it took to drink. Amazing. Awesome cup. 

I headed out to get James from work. I was a little early so i waited out front. And then we were off to his parents for pie. 

It was nice to see them and Charlotte. Pie was good. And they gave me a craft task to get back to them soon. And Anne gave me a bunch of thread to use with my kids. Awesome. I love James's family they are always so kind. 

We headed out around 6. It was starting to rain. We almost got in an accident because i couldn't see around some parked cars and James said it was clear and i went and it was not clear! We were all fine but i was not happy with him. Dangerous!! 

We made it home in one piece. James had accidentally gotten more bath bombs for me. So i got to open that and it smelled great so that was cool. James heated up the oven for me and i had leftover pizza. He had pasta. And got on his trivia call. 

I went to work on the studio. Cut and sewed a bunch of frogs but my back hurt and i knocked over my box of eyes and so i decided to tap out for the night and take a bath.

The bath didn't help my back to much because i wouldn't lay still. I just washed off and then took off my nail polish. And I've been laying in the studio chilling with sweetp. It's been nice. 

I am going to go get ready for bed now. It's been a long but good day. I have work tomorrow and I hope the new kid were supposed to have is chill. And i hope you all have a great night! Be safe!
