Greetings, readers and fellow SoKai fans!

Time for a certain Princess of Heart to take the spotlight in this story!  

Fair bit of warning though, I sort of used this chapter to showcase a few headcanons and speculations regarding the future of the series.

Chapter 3: Writings of a Princess

Land of Departure

Dear Sora,

I know it’s been a while since I last wrote to you.  I haven’t really had anything really important to tell you since I came here.

Now something incredible has just happened and I had to tell you first before anyone else.  But before that, here’s a few updates on what’s been happening on this side of reality.

I’m still training hard.  No offense to Merlin, but I think I’m getting way better with my Keyblade training under Master Aqua than him.

My days here at the Land of Departure are filled with learning various fighting techniques or improving my magic skills.  And to test them, I often spar with Aqua, Terra or Ven.  One day, I might even get a perfect score against one of them in our matches.

All of three of them and Chirithy have been very good to me. They’ve really made me feel like part of their family.

But as great as it’s been with them, they’re no true replacement for everyone back home.  I miss everyone:  Mom, Dad, Selphie, Wakka, Tidus, Riku, and you.  Especially you.

Sorry, Sora.  It’s just so hard every day knowing that you’re trapped in that fictional world.  I really wish I could’ve gone there with Riku to save you.  But after being out of action for a year and the fact that I couldn’t even land a single blow on that memory of Xehanort, I knew it was the better choice to stay behind and train even if I didn’t like it.

I really hope Riku finds you soon.  We’re all so worried about both of you.  Since nobody really knows anything about this Quadratum place, we’ve all thought Riku was a little hasty in just taking off there alone.

We still haven’t heard anything from Mickey yet either. Hopefully, he’ll come back soon from Scala Ad Caelum, and he’ll have found something we can use to help you and Riku.  Until that happens, all the rest of us can do is wait.

Anyway, time to tell you the real reason for this latest letter, Sora. And you are not going to believe what it is.  I can hardly believe it myself.

Last night, I had a dream.  It was actually the first dream I’ve had since I came to the Land of Departure.

Not that I’ve minded not having dreams just in case they ended up being recreations of my worst memories.  I’ve already watched you vanish twice.  I don’t think I could bear to watch it happen again in my dreams.

But the dream I had was nothing like that at all.  It was of a wedding, Sora.  Our wedding.

It was an amazing sight.  It was in this gigantic chapel that looked like it was in Radiant Garden, and it was filled with all your friends from around the worlds.

Many of our fellow Guardians of Light and closest friends made up our wedding party.  It was hardly a surprise to see Selphie as my maid of honor or Riku as your best man.

You looked so handsome in the suit you were wearing.  And judging from the stunned look on your face when you saw me coming down the aisle, I must’ve looked pretty beautiful to you.

It was truly incredible, Sora.  It felt so real and so wonderful.  I wished it never ended.

But, unfortunately, as it is with dreams, we all have to wake up eventually.  And when I did, the happiness I felt ended up giving way to other emotions as I reflected on the dream.

First of all, I felt a little confused.  As good as that dream was, I couldn’t help but wonder why I had it at all.  I mean, wouldn’t you find a little strange to have a dream about a wedding especially since we haven’t even had our first kiss yet?  It’s kind of rushing things a little.  

But don’t get me wrong, Sora.  I know, deep down in my heart, how we truly feel about each other. I wouldn’t have shared that paopu fruit with you otherwise.  And when the time is right for it, the idea of getting married to you is something I will embrace wholeheartedly.

So, I thought more about the dream and believe it or not, I started to think that it was not merely just a dream.  I wonder if what I saw was our future.  It definitely did feel like that since there were so many unfamiliar parts in it.  

For example, I had no idea there was a tradition in Radiant Garden weddings for the bride and groom to crown each other with symbolic flowers.  Then again, I could have known that if the knowledge came from a memory from when I lived there.  Maybe I attended a wedding there when I was young.

But what really stood out to me and made me believe that this could be our future was the many unfamiliar guests.  I knew that because I’ve been studying the details of your last two journeys from Jiminy’s Journal and the Gummi Phone.  And even though the Journal of your first journey was erased (Naminè’s still really sorry about that), I still remember everything about it from being in your heart through it all.

So, I was able to recognize who you had met and who were strangers. They were far too numerous to mention. But here are some examples that really stood out to me.

A tall woman with long black hair wearing a tan colored dress and a beautiful turquoise necklace with a raccoon, a dog and I think I saw a hummingbird flittering around her.

A pair of robots, one yellow and box-shaped, the other white and cylindrical, who were holding hands.

A couple that consisted of a redhaired woman and blonde-haired man who appeared to have some kind of hairless rodent on his shoulder.

A teenage boy and girl along with a younger boy and a company of animals such as a bear with gray fur, a panther, an elephant with a tuft of brown hair and a quartet of vultures.

A large family that appeared to be a mix of humans and skeletons along with a very colorful winged dog and a giant winged cat.

A boy with red hair (whose head looked triangular) along with another boy with green hair and a bunch of other teenagers as well as some kind of strange teal animal that looked like a cross between a duck and a beaver and a man with brown hair, poor posture and wearing a lab coat (who wears that to a wedding?).

A princess dressed in a beautiful green gown accompanied by a prince in a green suit with a blonde woman dressed in pink, a short old woman dressed in white and wearing sunglasses and a snake around her shoulders as well as an alligator who was carrying a trumpet.

A very unusual group consisting of two men and a woman with blue skin and pointy ears along with a dog-sized dragon, a centaur, and a winged lionlike creature with horns and a scorpion’s tail.

A girl with bushy brown hair among what appeared to be a family of giant frogs.

A woman dressed like she was some kind of islander with a burly man with numerous tattoos (I think I saw one of them move) over his body along with a pig and a chicken that didn’t look very smart.

A family who seemed to be some kind of royalty consisting of a princess in a simple green dress with long curly red hair along with three identical boys with the same kind of hair, their big, strong father with a peg leg and their very elegant mother.

A boy and a girl who looked like they were twin siblings who were accompanied by a pair of old men who looked like twins as well.

A redhaired boy in the company of a group of what looked like various human-sized bugs.

There were so many more, but I think I’ll stop here.  With the large number of guests at this wedding, I could go on listing them for a long time.  But it does seem there’s a lot more friends for you in the future.

Unfortunately, while I was mulling over the dream further, a horrible thought came to me.  I started to wonder if the dream, as beautiful as it was, wasn’t meant to bring me happiness at all because it was actually showing the future that we could have had but now would never have.  And the true reason of it was to punish me for my failures in the fight against Xehanort.

I know you wouldn’t like to hear this, Sora.  But there are still days where I can’t help but feel responsible for your disappearance and think that if I had made some different choices, you’d still be here.

I know it was my choice to fight alongside you because I wanted to keep you safe the same way you’ve always done for me.  But looking back, I now see it was foolish to assume that my training alongside Axel would turn me into a Keyblade wielder on yours or Riku’s level. And it was probably an even worse idea for a wielder with very little actual battle experience to go from basic training to a high stakes battle with nothing in between.

We may have been desperate to stop Xehanort before he went after the New Seven Hearts especially since he had already assembled all his darknesses. But we probably could’ve and should’ve explored some other options instead of going to fight the Organization right away after you woke Ven.

Since Ienzo told us that they had a replica body ready before we even left for the Keyblade Graveyard, we could’ve gotten Roxas or maybe even Xion out of your heart before the fight.  In Axel’s words, they were the old hands when it came to Keyblades.

We also could have made a bigger effort to find and save Terra first even if our chances were pretty low.  That would not only have gotten us a more experienced wielder, but it would’ve also lowered Xehanort’s ranks by one.

Maybe if we had done things that way, we would’ve had more experienced Keyblade wielders to fill out the Seven Guardians of Light.  And even if it would be disappointing to be put in the reserves, it would’ve been worth it if it led to you being safe.

So, those are the reasons I believed that dream was a punishment. But you’ll be glad to know, Sora, that I only entertained those beliefs briefly.

After thinking it over some more, I decided that it didn’t matter what that dream’s purpose was.  Comfort or punishment, I’m going to actually use it to serve my own purposes instead.

I’m going to let it remind me of what my ultimate goal is and drive me to be the best Keyblade wielder I can be.  One that’s going to make the forces of darkness think twice before causing trouble and one that you and Riku will be proud to have fighting alongside you.  And hopefully, that will lead us to a future like the one in the dream or at least one that’s pretty close.

In fact, after seeing that dream, I think I may end up actually proposing a couple of ideas to Aqua and Master Yen Sid.  I’ve been thinking about them a lot and maybe now is the time to try to put them into action.

Since I need to get some real battle experience to become a stronger Keyblade wielder, I’d like to go on a journey throughout the worlds to gain some. Hopefully, Aqua will think it’s a good idea.  And even though there’s been little sign of the Heartless and Nobodies since Xehanort’s defeat, there is one thing I really wish to do.

I’d like to try to find and identify the remaining three of the New Seven Hearts.  After all, who’d better to find them than someone who’s part of the same group?  And if we knew who they were and what their home worlds were, we’d be in a better position to protect them if someone tried what Maleficent and Xehanort did.

Who knows?  Maybe all those unfamiliar faces at the wedding were not only friends you’ll make on future adventures, but ones I’ll make on my own adventures.  Maybe even the remaining New Seven Hearts were among them.

I also have an idea that may be able to help in the quest to bring you home. If Fairy Godmother could bring me back to the Final World, I could talk to that girl from Quadratum again.  She may not be able to remember certain things. But she might be able to tell us something about that world that could help.  

Naminè might even be able to help with this plan.  Even if you only met that girl briefly, that may be enough for her to be considered connected to you and therefore, Naminè’s memory powers can work on her.

Hopefully, the Masters will think that these are good plans.  I really want to do any part I can to not only help bring you and Riku home, but also to protect the worlds as both a Keyblade wielder and a Princess of Heart.  After all, with you two gone, someone’s got to pick up the slack.

Well, I think that’s enough for now.  It’s nearly time for breakfast and then it’s training until lunch.  But before I go, there’s just one final thing I’d like to say.

Whether that beautiful dream shows a wonderful future that is meant to be or not, it doesn’t matter.  Because the only kind of future I’ll ever wish for is one in which we’re safe, we’re happy, and we’re together.  That’s all I really need.

See you soon,

Kairi

________________________________________________________________

Much later, the training hall in the Land of Departure was filled with the sounds of clashing Keyblades and various shouts of magical invocation.  While those sounds were nothing uncommon in that location, there was an unusual intensity that day.

As Aqua, Ven and Chirithy watched, a heated sparring match was taking place between Kairi and Terra.  But much to their surprise, the more experienced Keyblade wielder was actually struggling as the young rookie was keeping him mostly on the defensive.

“Wow!  Kairi’s on fire today!” exclaimed Ven.

“She is, indeed,” concurred Chirithy.

“Well, she has improved a lot in her skills since she came here.  But you two are right.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this driven before,” said Aqua.

“You’ve got that right, Aqua.  If she lands one more hit on Terra, this’ll be the first time she’s won by a perfect score,” said Ven.

As the match went on, Terra blocked blow after blow from Kairi.  Then, strangely, she ceased her attack.

Terra saw his opportunity and charged toward her with a downward slash. The Princess dodged to the right narrowly avoiding the hit.

“Light!” she cried out as she fired a small but powerful Light spell at Terra’s side.  He grunted as the magic struck him and knocked him off his feet.

“Point to Kairi,” declared Aqua.

“That’s three to nothing!  Kairi wins!” exclaimed Ven as Chirithy clapped its paws together.

“Well done, Kairi,” said Aqua.

“Thank you, Master Aqua,” Kairi said as she walked over to Terra and helped him up.  

After exchanging bows with each other, the Princess of Heart said, “I hope that didn’t hurt you too badly, Terra.”

Terra chuckled.  “Not at all.  It helps that you’ve learned how to restrain your magic during training.  But I’ve got to say, Kairi that I am impressed. That’s the first time since you’ve come here that I’ve been unable to land a single hit on you.”

“You’ve certainly come a long way, Kairi.  Today, you showed some truly exceptional skill and strength.  You should be very proud of yourself,” said Aqua as she, Ven and Chirithy approached.

“Well, I’ve had a good teacher and some great sparring partners.  But I think it really helped that when I woke up today, I just felt a little extra drive,” said Kairi.

“Yes.  We noticed,” said Aqua.

“Why is that exactly?” asked Chirithy.

A certain smile came to Kairi’s face which caused her four friends to exchange knowing looks.  They had spent plenty of time with her by now to know what exactly brought out that special smile of hers: thoughts of a certain someone close to her heart.

“I had the most amazing dream.”

________________________________________________________________

Notes from the Mad Doctor:

I thought the best way for Kairi’s spotlight chapter would be to do in the style of one of her letters to Sora.  I’ve used it before as readers of my big fic Kairi’s Epic Journey would know.

So, in case it wasn’t obvious, the challenge I mentioned at the start is that list of unknown guests.  It was quite a challenge to write all those characters by description alone.  I hope you all will take a shot at identifying them. Some are pretty obvious, but some may be a little more difficult.

I hope I did a good job in trying not to make this chapter’s narrative too similar to the previous chapters.  I actually tried having Kairi leap to the punishment notion before the premonition notion.  But unfortunately, the flow didn’t work right.

Fortunately, the views on the punishment notion are a little different. Sora has absolutely no regrets for what he did and believes that he’s being unfairly punished for breaking rules he had no idea existed.  Kairi, however, believes her punishment is deserved since she blames herself for what happened to Sora.  Fortunately, both are able to use that dream to keep on fighting.

I hope you all aren’t put off that this is more like a series of one-shots centered around a certain plot device (the wedding dream) instead of a congruent storyline.  That was what this project ended up being.

I give my thanks to whoever reads this chapter.

I also give my special thanks to @fandomchanger, @flynn-science​, and @ladylucky​ for their likes on the previous chapters as well as @sokaiweek, @phoenix-downer, and @the-secret-place​ for reblogging the previous chapter.

Comments, likes and reblogs are much appreciated!  Stay tuned for what comes next because it’s going to be a real feel-good chapter!

warnings: small bit of smut, angst

The evening before the wedding Axel is going down on Susie as she sits on the couch legs wide watching a comedy with him. She giggles from both his scruff and the show. Her hands grip his hair as he sucks on her clit pushing her over the edge of ecstasy. The doorbell rings.  

“Fuck.” Axel gets up from his knees. “I’m sorry Baby Girl. Pull your panties up. It is probably my Brother Eric.”

“I’m good.” She panted.

Axel slowly walked to the door giving Susie enough time to get settled. It was his brother standing there with his tailored tux in a garment bag and a few other things in a suitcase.

“Sorry if I interrupted.” Eric walked inside.

“We are just watching a comedy.” Axel sat by his girl putting his arm around her. “hang your tux in the hall closet. You can put your suitcase there also. Then join us.”

Susie laid her head down on Axel’s shoulder with a big sigh.

Axel took Susie’s hand to bring up to his lips for a kiss. “I'll make it up to you tomorrow night.” He whispered. “I promise.”

“You are always worth the wait.” She smiled.  

Alex came in to sit on the big comfy grey chair. “What Are you watching?”  

“We just finished watching The Interview.” Axel picked up controller handing it to Alex. “Guest chooses next but only for tonight or we can get the Xbox out?”

Susie kisses Axel’s cheek. “Excuse me gentlemen. I’m going to get ready for bed. Big day tomorrow.” She smiles at Eric. “Get rest groom to be.”  

Susie went to shower before bed. The men played Xbox for another hour or two. Susie felt so good when she felt Axel’s arms around her in their bed. That was all she needed to sleep until the morning sun streamed into the window. An automatic alarm for her to rise.

When Susie rises to make coffee for the boys, she makes shore to put on some shorts with Axel’s Tool shirt she wore to bed. She is extra quiet knowing Eric is on the fold out couch. Tami has already texted her to join the girls for breakfast before the late morning wedding. Susie text back to tell her she will be there on time.

Axel sits up as Susie is dressing in a light white dress with pink flowers blooming all over it. He  stretching and scrubs his face. “Where are you off to Babe? I thought we would have awhile before you desert us guys for the girls.”

“No such luck.” She turned to give him a small peck. “Bride and her maidens are having breakfast this morning. Make sure Eric eats a good breakfast. I will see you on the beach at 11am promptly.”

Axel stood pulling her into his arms for a better kiss. “I will take care of everything important. Eric will be there on time. I will make sure he is fed and looks his finest. I’m glad you are getting along with the girls.”

“Yeah, it is nice to be included around here.” She pulls away. “Even Jen is coming around. She is a little abrupt but...”

“I’ll talk to Josh.” Axel grimaced.

“You will do no such thing, Axel.” She points her finger at him. “I said she is coming around. Let’s let her get use to us a little more. Don’t bring your brother in because it just looks like his girlfriend still wants you and that is not okay. She is getting better so let me deal with her.”

He put his lips around your finger pulling back slow with a grin watching her eyes widen and breath quicken. “You better get going to breakfast.”

She rolled her eyes pulled her finger away. “You suck.”

“Indeed, and you love it when I do.” His grin was wide and mischievous. He smacked her ass as she turned to leave and followed her to the door. He watched her walk out the door down the sidewalk until she could no longer be seen. His thoughts went from how sexy her legs, ass and shoulders looked to, he should have offered to drive or maybe he should just buy her a car or her own motorcycle.  

Eric put his hand on his brother’s shoulder. “You should buy her a ring bro.”

Axel chuckled. “I was thinking her own motorcycle. I’ll make you a big breakfast. I already smell coffee. Did you start that?”

“No, that’s all your girl’s doing.” Eric stepped back inside with his cup of coffee. “She made it strong. Just like I like.”

“That is how I take it to.” Axel went to get a cup. “Go shower while I make breakfast. You smell like ass. Does your girl know she is marrying a guy that smells like ass in the morning?”

“She does.” Eric laughed. “But somehow she is fine with how I smell at any time of day. I will go shower if it is the only way I get a good breakfast.”

“It is.” Axel joked as he got everything he needed together.

“I don’t think you ever made my breakfast little brother.” Eric thought fondly on memories of taking care of Axel and Josh.

“And this is the only time.” Axel quipped. “Now go shower stinky butt.”

Eric started to go towards the bathroom. “You always called me that growing up.”

Axel continued making a huge breakfast. When Eric was finished with his shower, he could smell the bacon and sausage. When he came out in his boxers, he saw a feast of not only the above but pancakes, eggs and hash browns. Orange juice was set out and two coffee pots were brewing fresh coffee.  

“I don’t think we should be drinking or eating that much, Axel.” Eric sat down and started dishing up a plate.

“The other men are on their way to get dressed here since my place is the closest to the beach.” Axel poured Eric fresh coffee. “You have any confessions between us before they ascend on the place?”

“What are you, my priest now?” Eric folded some sausage links into his buttered toast.  

Axel laughed. “No, I just meant if you have any reservation I can listen and tell you not to be a dumbass.”

“Great advice.” The noise of vehicles driving up were heard outside. “Don’t be a dumbass. Haven’t I told you that?”

“On many occasions brother.” Axel went to the door to let the groomsmen inside. “I made breakfast for everyone.”

“Is it edible?” Josh joked.  

“It’s the best shit I have had from a home kitchen.” Eric piped up.  

Josh smirked as the others started grubbing. “We will see about that.”

All the men were eating their fill complimenting their chef. While that was happening, Susie was arriving at Tami and Eric’s place. A nice two-story beach house. Two bedrooms upstairs. A guest room on the first floor where Tami’s soon to be Mother-in-law, Rebeca, was staying while she was in town. The first thing Susie noticed was the disgusted look on Rebeca’s face as the other girls were fluttering around excitedly setting out crapes, croissants and pastries for breakfast.  “How can I help.” Susie smiled hanging her dress in a portable closet in the living room where the others had hung their dresses.

“Susie.” Tami came to her hugging her a hello. “How are the boys doing this morning? Is Eric nervous? I have good butterflies in my stomach.”

“Of course, he is worried about marrying you dear.” Rebecca rolled her eyes like it was the most obvious thing ever.

Susie ignored her comment. “Eric is very excited to marry you. It is your turn to be happily ever after.” She held Tami’s hands while assuring her.

“Oh, please.” Rebecca mumbled pouring herself another drink from the bar.

“You are next.” Tami laughed. “I think we are already so let’s have some breakfast.”

Susie sipped some coffee and had a little of each treat. “Axel was making breakfast for the men when I left. I think he planned to make everything to appease them.” She giggled.

“You did not make them a proper meal?” Rebecca droned. “I gather you are his current person, so I am surprised he doesn’t expect you to wait on him and bow to what he needs all the time. It has to be exhausting.”

“He was eight when he needed a Mother to take care of his needs.” Susie glared at Rebecca. “Luckily his Father taught him how to be a self-sufficient man despite your lack of love.”

“God he was so clingy.” She added like she had not even heard Susie’s comments or noticed how quiet the room got.

“He was eight.” Susie reiterated. “I’m sorry Tami excuse me for a few.” Susie went outside to cool down, so she didn’t deck the women.

Unfortunately, the woman followed soon after lighting a smoke as soon as she stepped into the cool morning air. Susie tried to ignore her choosing to look out at the surf.

“I can’t believe he would marry someone like her.” Rebeca spit like it tasted bad in her mouth.

“Like what?” Susie knew she was referring to Eric’s Bride-to-Be not being white, but Susie wanted to hear if she would admit her hate. “A waitress?”

Rebeca rolled her eyes. “You know what I mean. She isn’t like you and I.”

Susie tilted her head. “I disagree. I think you are the only one without a soul.” She walked back inside with a big, pleased smile on her face.

“Oh good.” Tami said as you walked back inside. “She apologized? She is a little abrasive, but Eric is so happy she is here to support him. And I am happy he is happy. We just need to take a breath a few more hours. She is leaving tomorrow morning.”

Kingdom Sims Pt. 10

Mature for slightly sexual content.

Months had passed, it was now end of Spring, beginning of Summer. Prom was starting to approach and Sora had come up with the perfect way to ask Kairi. Though, it was obvious they were going together, but being the chivalrous Sora he was, he still wanted to officially ask her. He planned a beautiful day at the beach, just the two of them.

Kairi: This is so perfect, Sora! I’ve missed the beach!

Sora: Yeah, me too. Feels like home. 

Sora stood up and reached his hand out to Kairi.

Sora: Wanna swim like old times?

Sora and Kairi splashed and played in the ocean, just like they used to.

Sora: Hey, Kairi, wanna see a trick Ariel taught me?

Kairi: Sure.

Sora cupped his hand around his mouth and started squeaking like a dolphin. Suddenly a dolphin came swimming up to them.

Kairi: Oh my gosh Sora! That was amazing!

The dolphin started squeaking to Sora.

Kairi: Is he talking to you? 

Sora: Yeah, he said he has a question for you.

Kairi: What’s the question?

Sora: He wants to know if you’d want to go to prom with me?

Sora had his usual cheesy grin on his face and Kairi internally squealed. She swam to the dolphin and whispered to him.

Sora: What did you tell him?

Kairi: My answer.

Sora: What’s your answer?

Kairi: It’s yes, silly!

After playing with the dolphin for a little while, Sora and Kairi swam back to shore to watch the ocean and the sky. Kairi turned to Sora and started kissing him, passionately.

Sora moved his hands down to her butt and squeezed it. Kairi returned the favor by moving her hand down, over Sora’s swim trunks. 

Sora: Oh my god, Kairi...she keeps doing this to me. The want-no the NEED is becoming incredibly stronger. I don’t know how much more I can take.

Kairi pulled away, knowing full well what she had done to him.

Kairi: Maybe we should stop.

Sora: Uhh..yeah.

The pair decided to explore island more and found a waterfall.

Kairi: This is so beautiful!

She began playing and splashing in the water and Sora started splashing around with her.

Everything was perfect for these two. It felt like nothing could take away their happiness.

Unfortunately, things were different back at home. Obviously some members of the household didn’t make the people in the gang so happy. They remembered their house, their faces and found out their names so a group from the gang came to their house and tried to fight with the guardians. One woman tried to mess with Aqua and Xion, but they both showed her who was boss.

Namine on the other hand was knocked out cold. Roxas immediately started fighting with the male gang member.

Roxas had won the fight.

Roxas: I don’t ever want to see you put your hands on a woman again, especially her!

Namine started to come to and Roxas grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug.

Roxas: I’m sorry I didn’t stop him in time.

Namine: It’s okay, Roxas. I’m okay thanks to you. I owe you.

Roxas: No you don’t, I’m always going to be there for you.

Namine: How about you take me to prom?

Roxas: Deal!

Aqua and Xion approached Namine and Roxas.

Aqua: They will be back. They don’t seem like the type of people who give up to easily. They purposefully came here for us. 

Roxas: What did we ever do!?

Xion: It’s because of the few instances we’ve had with them, we didn’t back down. Ven and Axel fought with them and then Sora and Riku kicked them out of the house. They’re trying to make a statement with us and scare everyone. If we can’t handle them, then how can anyone else?

Roxas: So we’ll just have to keep fighting them off until they give up. They’re not going to beat us.

About a week went by and it was finally prom day!

Kairi and Namine were showing their boys how risque they could be.

Roxas: I never knew Namine could be like this...I wish I could just have her now...

Terra and Aqua were not shy on the dance floor either. It was clear they had reached that level in their relationship.

The music began to slow down and Sora took Kairi in his arms. He didn’t even need to say anything, she just knew.

Xion: Riku, I know we talked about just coming as friends, but do you wanna dance with me?

Riku: Oh...uhh..sure.

Riku wrapped his arms around Xion and even though, he played it off like we calm, on the inside he was anxious. He didn’t think he thought of Xion that way, but lately they had spent a lot time together and he was getting to know her as a person.

Namine: Roxas, I’m having so much fun. This is probably one of the best nights of my entire existence so far and its all thanks to you.

Roxas: Anything to make you smile, Namine.

Aqua: I’m so glad we finally get to live in peace again. I’m thankful for that everyday. We’ve all been through so much.

Terra: Yeah, me too. You know, you and Ven are the reasons I kept fighting back when Xehanort took ahold of me. 

Aqua: I do know that. I’m glad I could help in some way.

Terra: You helped me more than you could know.

Aqua: I missed you so much when I was trapped in the realm of darkness. I was afraid I’d never see you guys again.

Terra: I know the feeling. I love you, Aqua.

Aqua: I love you too, Terra.

Xion: You’re a very good dancer, Riku.

Riku: I don’t know about that. I never really danced much before. Dancing is more of Sora’s area.

Xion: Well, it looks like you learned a few tricks from your friend.

Sora: You know, I never thought we’d get a prom. I remember when we were 14, I hoped I had the courage to ask you by the time ours would have rolled around.

Kairi: I would’ve said yes then too.

Sora: Then?

Kairi: Sora, you didn’t notice? I loved you since before our first adventure. I didn’t know exactly what love was but I knew I would’ve chosen you, no matter what.

Sora: Honestly, I thought you would’ve chosen Riku.

Kairi: Don’t be silly. Riku is like a big brother to me. But me and you, we’ve always had something special. I knew I could always count on you for anything.

Sora: Of course you can.

The night ended happily for everyone.

SKAM FRANCE PROJECTION -  Q&A RECAP

I wasn’t sure I wanted to write a description of the Skam France projection in Paris because I knew it would be so long ; but we were so privileged with all those informations that I though I needed to share with you some of it. And also for myself, so that I don’t forget this day.  I’m just gonna keep a few details to respect the kindness and sincerity they had for our little audience, and I don’t feel confortable repeating to hundreds (or thousands) without their consent. Important note : I didn’t take notes, I’m not a machine so I don’t remember everything, I don’t remember what they said word by word, so, I’m sorry if some quotes or meanings are a bit inaccurate. I tried my best, please don’t hold it against me.... :) Now, lets begin this VERY LONG recap. I’M SORRY !! 

We arrived a bit before 5pm, and people were waiting in line outside. The movie theater didn’t open before 5. Somehow, while waiting peacefully, we saw the cast and crew arriving just in front of the theater, greeting each other and talking together, like a reunion. That was nice. Marilyn came to us and greeted some people waiting as well.  Then we went in the theater, were handed a flyer/postal card (see at the end) of the Skam cast, and headed to the cinema. The crew and actors were already seated. We all sat, then David (the director) came on stage with some people from the production, France TV and Niels Rahou (main screenwriter). Him and David had a cute moment sharing the mic and saying I love you to each other/declaring their flames haha. What a pair ! David thanked all of them, the cast as well, we applauded (of course). Then David said : Are you ready to see Lucas and Eliott fall in love ??  We applauded loudly again, then he sat down and we started watching the first episode. We laughed a lot reacting to the funny scene or lines, and when FINALLY we saw Eliott for the first time on screen, everyone screamed and clapped. So I took a look at Maxence reaction, he has his face in his hand, kind of hiding but was smiling like crazy, that was adorable. From there, almost every time Eliott was on screen, we could here reaction in the cinema. When the episode ended, we applauded loudly. We waited 2 minutes, and the second one started. It was nice to hear people react to the jokes, we really felt connected. When Eliott appeared at the bus stop, same thing everyone screamed a bit and the next 15 minutes were intense ! I tried to take a look at Maxence pretty often during those big moments, he was smiling like crazy and hiding himself at the same time. He deserves everything. When the screen went black, we clapped, whistled and screamed a lot more, because... HEY what an experience to live ! And because we’re so grateful for everything they did obviously.  Then, the whole cast and David came on stage, David expressed his big though for Axel who couldn’t be here because he was filming a movie. Big clap for him too! Then he opened the Q&A part. Since it lasted quite a while, I’m gonna proceed with bullet points from what I remember.  • The first question was for the whole cast but more for Maxence and it was how does it feel to see yourself on screen. He answered it was kind of weird (chelou) since it’s his first role mostly...  • When ask what was their common points with their characters. Marilyn said she was a bit “motherly” like Manon. She has the tendency to tell people to be careful about what their eat, they do etc. They all agreed it was weird to speak about themselves like that, then she took the mic when Edouard (Mika) started talking and started praising him for his acting because he is the opposite of Mika, she saw him acting a couple years back and said she was so impressed that when she understood he was in Skam as well, she was really impressed and afraid to play with him. It was so nice, we applauded a lot. (The joke was that she actually added him on facebook 6 or 7 years back and he never accepted her request before Skam hahaa) For this same question, Maxence said he his a solitary/lonely person like Eliott. Lula is a workaholic, very invested in what she does and make people laugh without intending to. Assa is very similar to Imane, even if she might not have a temper as strong as Imane (but pretty much). And Léo (Yann) said he is pretty open (minded), and chill about things, people (I think.. not sure on this one) • Maxence and David explained how he was cast. David said that when they started the casting, they wanted to feel and know from the moment the actor would enter the room that it was him. But unfortunately, this feeling never came, for months... Then, the cast director called David and said she may have seen someone that could fit (at a “representation”). But she warned him that this actor had broken his ankle in the morning, so... for the “walk in the room and we know  it’s him” it was a bit compromised because of the crutches. So David and Maxence just sat down and talked, the feeling was there though, and this is how it started. Maxence then added : when he was called for the first casting interview, he didn’t want to go because he just finished his acting studies and wanted to go in vacation basically haha But then he convinced himself it would be just an exercice, so why not. Obviously it went well. Was called back for a second try, and a third try with Axel. He was in vacation when David told him he had the role. The moment he picked up the phone, a thunderbolt fell right next to him(Maxence) and David added at the theater “it was a prediction from what was about to happen” because “thunderbolt” is “foudre” in french, and when people fall in love at first sight we call it “coup de foudre” (coup = a stoke/a blow of thunderbolt)..... ❤ • During the casting call, Axel and Maxence did a scene but they incorporated the crutches situation in the scene, and it went very well. Also There was no weirdness between the two from the beginning even if Maxence said something to Axel that could have offended him. But he wasn’t and from that point, Maxence knew it was all good with Axel. He said they were lucky (I think?) that they had a such a good chemistry.   • A question was about the boys gang. Niels took the mic and made a big point on that. Saying that their reaction is normal. Here, they are teenage boys who know Lucas as there straight friend, they can not imagine or understand why he is acting now, what he has in his mind. They’ve been raised in a environment were masculinity is toxic, like any-elsewhere and we must not hold it against them because it’s reality. We (Skam viewers and lgbtq+ community) are well educated on the subject, but this is reality.  • Anne-Sophie (Chloé), David AND Niels especially made a big point on how Chloé is essential and must not be hated. She is a girl in love that is being fooled by Lucas. The only thing she does wrong in the og is outing Lucas like that, but apart from that, there is no reason to hate her. They were pretty passionate about that point.  • A recurring theme/question was about a fifth season... with (most likely from the person asking the question) Daphné. David, the head of production and a France TV representative, they all took the mic to speak about it, and the main thought was : they would love to do it because they love Skam so much BUT  because of legal reasons, of the views on Season 3 and 4, and so much more things, there is NOTHING planned on that yet... Somehow, they emphasized on how much we -the audience- matter for this kind of future. If we talk about Skam to people, if we raise the views, express how much we love it on social media etc, it might help.... So... talk about Skam France to everyone you know, and maybe, only MAYBE, we might have a change for more seasons... • Same thing with how homosexuality is usually shown in french TV. He said something like “If you’re expecting the usual kiss and then, a fade to black... No, that’s not gonna happen. We talked with France TV (the diffuser), they told us “no, you can give us all you want, we want to show a lot more”, so... since we had the images, a lot of images, we went thoroughly on that. Don’t worry for that, really ! There might be some bloopers/BTS too...” • Maxence hadn’t seen the Skam og or anything before shooting (apart from the toilet scene) because he wanted to be just like his character : he didn’t know anyone or anything of what was happening. Also, from what he saw in the toilet scene, he said he didn’t want to be like Even, it felt too “”“pushy””” and this wasn’t him or who he wanted Eliott to be. After shooting the season, he “binge-watched” everything in two days. • Now... If you are still afraid of the chemistry and the “intimate” scene. Just know that David made sure it would be realistic... that all I’m gonna say on that.  • They only had 35 days to film the two seasons!! It is extremely short. The other remakes shoot one season at a time. David emphasized on the few hours of sleep him and some of the crew had. Also, they shot around 15 minutes per day of images. It is HUGE. The work they put into the last 2 seasons is enormous. • Before staring, David thanked his wife for taking care of the kids 6 months during the year while he is filming (we clapped a LOT) • The first kiss scene was taken in one shot (correct me if I’m wrong) • Lula never wears jeans or pants, only skirts and dresses. In real life, but also on the show. • Basile falling was an improvisation from Paul, they shot it twice (I think...) • Axel doesn't play the piano, he just learned this piece for the scene (Maxence told us) and they shot the scene multiple times. • Marilyn complimented Michel on the common points questions. • Alex’ bisexuality was a random suggestion from Coline just before shooting the scene when we know about it. Easy peasy. • David and the whole team were frustrated for season 1 and 2 that they had to follow exactly the original script and lines. Even more frustrated when they saw the other remakes... • Niels was wearing a unicorn shirt, perfect  ❤  • Philippine (Emma) and Coline (Alex) told us 2 jokes.  • Lula (Daphné) is the most likely to laugh on set • They all see all your reactions, all you comments, the bad ones as well, they knew all the bad comments from season 1 and 2, knew all the pressure for season 3 and 4, so they just hope you’ll like it because they fucking love it ! :) • The journalists only saw episode 1 to 4 and the reviews are good, even if, according to Niels, they havent seen anything yet.................... so, we kind of know what to expect. Or not. Seriously, I think we’re not prepared at all.  • Neither are we for season 4 apparently... Warnings from David. Then everyone started to leave but... not really haha. The room stayed pretty full for a good 30 minutes. Personally I stayed close to David who was answering questions in a corner. I can tell you : he is SO PASSIONATE about this season, about Eliott and Lucas, his actors, it is SO heartwarming ; but above all, it confirms to me that this season has an intense depth that - in my opinion - we are NOT ready for. Outside, everyone was talking with the actors, especially Maxence, obviously... I talked with Edouard (Mika) and with Niels (the screenwriter) mostly. I just stopped Maxence who just finished talking and taking pictures with everyone to thank him, and let me just say he is an adorable sunshine. I barely started to say something, he was hugging me and he made the pictures I took with him adorable. He was jumping all around, a real ray of sunshine and kindness. Then he ran to hug David and it was the cutest thing I’ve witness that night. He must have seen me grinning like crazy at him and David, but I don’t care. It was WAY too heartwarming. They are all absolutely ADORABLE. ADORABLE !!  THANK YOU SKAM FRANCE !!!   

PS : If he agrees, I’m letting David tell the story about his child name and their request :) You’ll melt and be happy about our future. PS 2 : Thank you to Manon et Laura who helped me remember a few things. Twitter : @lau_helder

ice to meet you (newt x reader)

Requested by anonymous: could you do an ice skater reader (like figure skating) and newt scamander fic? i just want it to be fluffy :)

Wc: 861

“You know, if I met you here, I would use the line ‘ice to meet you’ and hope you would instantly feel an unbearable attraction to me,” You spun in a circle gracefully on your skates, stopping in front of your boyfriend, Newt Scamander. Newt was very clearly struggling to maintain his balance while you were twisting and spinning in every which way as carefree as possible.

“You’re such a bugger, but you’re so unbelievably adorable when you make stupid jokes and skate at the same time,” Newt pulled you close to him, kissing you gently on the cheek, causing him to dangerously wobble on his skates. His coat and body warmth did heat up your body a bit and while you were worried that you both were going to spontaneously tip over and crack the ice.

“Honey, if you hold to me for a second longer, you might lose your balance,” You carefully untangled yourself from his arms and the second you separated from his body, you instantly missed his warmth. But then again, you couldn’t risk putting your brand new skates at risk of being hurt. The ice rink wasn’t as packed as it usually was, just as you predicted.

You knew this ice rink like the back of your hand. As a child, you came to this ice rink every weekend and would find it crowded with too many bodies and not enough space to attempt a flying sit spin so you began practicing properly Wednesdays after school when the rink was at its emptiest. You were one of the most advanced young athletes that practiced on the rink and you spent many years of your life devoting hours and hours and hours of your time to skate.

Unfortunately, magic called so you had to drop your dreams of skating in the Olympics to study at Hogwarts. In addition to learning magic, you met a very handsome, sweet boy by the name of Newt Scamander. You had planned on revisiting skating again after graduating Hogwarts but your time and attention voluntarily to your boyfriend.

Skating only popped up in your memory this winter, prompting you to nag Newt to go ice-skating at the rink with you. Fortunately, Newt was a considerate and kind boyfriend so he agreed to come with you even though he never learned how to skate. You had taught him a couple basic concepts of skating, such as how to maintain balance and skate without falling. He had clutched onto your arm tightly the first time you led him onto the rink.

Now, even if his balance wasn’t the best, he could at least travel across the ice without falling on his behind several times. Newt tired out quickly so he often watched you twirl and leap across the ice without taking many breaks. You seemed to be able to able to soar through the air smoother with him watching your every move. You had missed the sensation of your skates skimming against the ice and the chill bite of the winter air on the skin between your mittens and your jacket.

Ice skating had been your life since your childhood and as you were revisiting this performing art with Newt, you couldn’t help but think about how far you came from simply starting to skate.

“Heads up!” Newt shouted playfully as he picked up a handful of snow, aiming towards you as you attempted an Axel jump. As you landed gracefully on your skates, you felt a wet lump of snow land on your skates. You feigned an expression of anger as you skated towards Newt, grabbing him by the arm and spinning him around. He let out a yelp of protest but you refused to let go, enjoying his flustered expression.

Somehow, you didn’t consider that when you were spinning him around, he would get dizzy. As a result of being dizzy, Newt tripped over his skates and fell on his behind, dragging you down with him. You let out a squeal of surprise before you pulled yourself up, untangling your limbs from his. You helped him up, ignoring the strange glances people threw your way. Affection was best expressed through light-hearted teasing and pushing around; yet, while this type of affection was common between couples, people still believed that couples who gently nudged each other were having full-on arguments.

“You’re so clumsy,” You laughed, kissing him on the cheek as you clasped his hand, starting to slowly skate forward with him by your side. He pecked you on the cheek in response, holding your hand tighter as you both dodged inexperienced skaters.

“Of course I am. Aren’t one of the partners in figure skating supposed to be less agile than the other?” Newt joked, following your lead as you continued to guide him (more like drag him) across the ice rink.

“That’s not how figure skating works, but it’s cute that you consider yourself the clumsier partner,” You derisively replied, feeling strangely at peace with realizing how for the rest of your life, all the time you thought you’d spend ice-skating would be spent with somebody who cheered up your chilly heart.

Kurtbastian one-shot - “The Talk” (Rated PG13)

After watching Kurt and Sebastian say goodbye "for now", Elizabeth figures out what's going on between the two of them, and decides it's time for a little talk with her son. (2302 words)

I decided to have a little fun with the idea, "What would have happened if Kurt got the 'sex talk' from his mother instead of his dad?" :) I hope you like Elizabeth Hummel as much as I do. Let me know <3

Part 14 of Outside Edge

Read on AO3.

“Hey, Sebastian! I didn’t know we’d be seeing you tonight!”

Sebastian opens his eyes when he hears Kurt’s mother say his name. He’d been standing against the doorway with Kurt in his arms, running his fingers through Kurt’s hair and enjoying his boyfriend’s warmth blending with his own in the chill climate of the rink, the scent of jasmine and orange in Kurt’s hair overwhelming the smell of chlorine and refrigerant in the air. Sebastian had had every intention of bowing out quietly before Kurt’s mother finished her laps, but he’d drifted away into thoughts of the countless times they’ve stood here before watching their friends perform, watching their teammates play, watching new students learn to take their first glides on the ice.

He hadn’t noticed how much time had gone by.

But as Kurt’s cell phone alarm goes off in his pocket, Sebastian becomes aware of their surroundings. It has to be after eight by now, and Kurt’s mom is skating towards them with a huge smile on her face to say hello.

“Hey, Mrs. H,” Sebastian says, extending an arm for a hug. “I was just passing by and I saw Kurt’s Navigator. I didn’t mean to intrude.”

“Nonsense,” Elizabeth says, sneaking an arm around Sebastian’s back to snag a longer hug. “You’re family. You’re welcome to drop in any time.”

“Thanks. You were lookin’ good out there.”

“Don’t I?” She glides back a step and performs a small scratch spin, pulling her ponytail out of its tie so that her chestnut hair – the same shade as Kurt’s – spills to her shoulders. “Pretty good for an old lady, huh?”

“I’d say you’re doin’ pretty good for Connor Murphy.”

“You’re sweet,” she says, pinching Sebastian’s cheek.

“Unfortunately, that alarm means I need to get my mom home,” Kurt says, fishing his phone out of his pocket and switching off the musical trilling.

“Aw,” his mom pouts. “Party pooper. I was just getting warmed up.” She swivels backward and her knees wobble, attesting to the opposite.

“Be that as it may,” Kurt says, choosing not to mention it as part of his argument, “it’s getting late, and I know Mike’ll want to lock up soon.”

“I guess we should let the poor man go home to see his wife and kids.”

“Yes, we should.”

Sebastian smiles at their back and forth joking. So often it seems like Kurt’s the parent and his mom the teenager. It’s such a lighthearted and comfortable relationship. They have a closeness that’s unique to them, a special connection that Sebastian has never seen between a mother and son. He doesn’t know if it has anything to do with Kurt’s mother being sick, the amount of time they spend together, or the fact that they have skating in common, but Sebastian envies it so much.

Sebastian’s parents aren’t bad people. They’re not even bad parents. They’re just emotionally unavailable. They’d tell anyone who’d listen that they got to where they are in life through hard work and sacrifice, and they feel like everyone else should, too (even if that does discount a crap ton of luck, privilege, connections, and a sizable trust fund on both sides). The problem is that they chose to have a family when they enjoyed being childless more. They make time for work and they make time for each other, but there never seems to be enough time left over for Sebastian.

Sebastian always had the love and attention of his uncle Chris, and he was grateful for that, but it wasn’t exactly the same.

Kurt’s parents have done so much to make Sebastian feel like a part of their family, especially Kurt’s mom – Friday dinners, movie nights, Sunday afternoon picnics. And more and more, Sebastian is beginning to understand just how devastating it would be for Kurt to lose her.

“I’ll see you later, Kurt?” Sebastian asks, secretly confirming that Kurt is still sure about his decision - that he wants tonight to be their first night together.

“Give me an hour?”

Sebastian smiles, overjoyed but doing his best not to let it show in front of Kurt’s mom. But he can’t help himself, taking Kurt’s hand and kissing it. “Will do. See you in an hour.”

“I’ll text you before I come by.”

Sebastian nods. “Bye, Mrs. H.”

“Bye, Sebastian. Drive safe.”

“I will.”

“Come on, Mom.” Kurt takes his mother by the arms and helps her off the ice. “Let’s get those skates off.”

Elizabeth watches Sebastian leave while Kurt leads her to a nearby bench. Sitting down, she gets a clear view of the hallway through the glass on the doors. She sees Sebastian perform an off-ice double axel, finishing with a bounce and a silent cheer before he hurries out the door.

Kurt, busy undoing the knot in her laces, doesn’t see, but he’s biting his lower lip, trying to keep an equally excited grin from crossing his face.

She smiles to herself. Ah, youth …

“So, you guys hanging out tonight?”

“Yeah,” Kurt says dreamily, then catches himself. “Uh … well, for a while. I’ll be back, but it’ll be late.”

“Really? You’re coming back tonight?”

“Yeah. Why wouldn’t I?”

“I’d think you’d want to spend the night at Sebastian’s house, wouldn’t you? I mean, all things considered. It’s going to be a special night, isn’t it?”

Kurt’s fingers fumble with the laces. He looks up at his mother staring fondly back at him. “H-how did you …? D-did you hear us talking?”

“No,” she says. “But I know that look on your face. It’s a very significant look.”

“And what look is that?”

“Decisive. Determined. Anxious. Excited.”

“But how do you know we haven’t … you know … done it before?” Kurt asks, returning to his mom’s laces and undoing the knot. He’s curious, but not entirely comfortable focusing 100% on this conversation. He’s talking about sex with his mother, for Christ’s sake! He needs to do something with his hands so he doesn’t stick his fingers in his ears and start singing “na-na-na-na-na”.

“Kurt” – She takes over the task of loosening her laces so that Kurt can start on the knot on her other boot. “I’m not blind and I’m not stupid. I’ve seen you go on date after date with him, then watched both you boys perform a perfect routine the following day. At least one of you wouldn’t be walking straight if you had, so I can’t imagine what your guys’ skating would look like.”

“Mom!” he says, mortified, but also wondering if he should grace his boyfriend with this information. It might be interesting to see the shades of red Sebastian would turn if he did.

“I’m just saying” - She giggles - “but you’re also taking for granted how much I know you.” Elizabeth swallows hard, holding on to the strength in her voice with both hands. “I know that with everything going on in your life, the trouble you were having at school, the time you were putting in at the rink, the challenges you were facing with the team … you weren’t ready.”

Kurt exchanges one of her sneakers for a skate and starts putting a soaker on the blade. “Are you upset at me?” he asks quietly.

Elizabeth gives her son a sidelong look. “Why would I be upset at you, honey?”

He shrugs. “I don’t know. I thought ... maybe … you might be disappointed if you knew.”

“Kurt, why would I be disappointed? Sex isn’t a bad thing.” She puts a hand on his shoulder, rubbing tight muscles. “There’s nothing wrong with you wanting to have sex with your boyfriend. You’re a responsible, intelligent, mature young man in a committed relationship with a wonderful someone who loves you. Everyone should be so lucky. I’m happy for you.”

“Really?”

“Really.” She scoots in close and leans against his side. Even after all this time recovering, building up her strength and putting on weight, she still feels light as a feather against him. “But this is a big step. So before you do this, is there anything you need from me?”

Kurt looks at the skate in his hand and sighs. He wishes he could borrow a moment to throw on his skates and practice his newest routine. Everything’s so much easier on the ice. When he’s struggling with a move or ironing out a jump, his other problems seem smaller, farther away. On the ice, skating is all that matters – balance, artistry, footwork, control. Everything else has to figure itself out on its own without him.

Of course he learned a long time ago that that’s not actually the way it works. His problems just wait for him to take his skates off again.

“Maybe some advice?” he says.

“Sure, kiddo. What kind of advice are you looking for?”

“I don’t know. I guess what I want to know is – do you think we’re going too fast?”

“Sweetie,” she says, suppressing a kneejerk reaction which could be considered inappropriate, “you’ve waited a long time compared to a lot of other relationships. But this is your relationship, and only you guys can decide if you’ve waited long enough. What do you think?”

“I think we have.”

“And, when you think about tonight being the night, do you think you’ll have any regrets?”

Red stains his cheeks at a fleeting thought of what tonight with Sebastian will be like, knowing that his mother is sitting beside him, waiting for an answer. “No. Not a single one.”

“Then I would say that if this is what you want, then do it.”

“It’s going to change everything, isn’t it?”

“Not necessarily. It’ll only change what you guys let it change. But you two are starting out on good, stable ground. I can only see this being a positive experience for both of you.”

“B-but … what about Dad?”

“Yikes, Kurt!” His mother snickers. “We’re talking about you having sex with your boyfriend. What the heck does your dad have to do with it?”

“Do you think that he’d be disappointed in me?”

“Kurt, that shouldn’t matter.”

“It doesn’t. I’m just … I …” He drops his head, mildly embarrassed, slightly exasperated.

Elizabeth takes her son’s hand in hers, noticing that it’s bigger than the last time she remembers holding it. Bigger than her hand even. When did her little boy grow up? Wasn’t it only yesterday when his father was trying to teach him to ride a bike, but he said he wanted ice skates instead? Wasn’t it an hour ago when Kurt was standing outside of preschool, crying his little eyes out because he didn’t want his mom to leave him, and now he’s about to go off to Cornell? She’d passed by his bedroom just the other day and saw empty spaces on the bookcases where trinkets and picture frames used to be, empty rectangles on the walls where posters used to hang. Wasn’t it only about a week ago when she and Burt moved in, and they decorated his room for him, setting up his crib and Elizabeth’s rocking chair, eager for the day when Elizabeth would finally give birth to him?

She takes a deep breath, bites the inside of her cheek, squeezes his hand and fixes her smile.

“Your father believes that you should wait until you’re thirty, but that’s because you’re his little boy. And you’ll always be his little boy. You could be fifty-three, but when he looks at you, he’d still see you sitting at a plastic table on the front lawn, wearing a shirt and tie, and serving him cakes and tea in tiny cups and saucers. But, to be completely honest, you’re older than I or your father was our first time.”

“Really?” Kurt’s nose scrunches, not because he’s judging his parents, but because he could have lived a long and happy life without that knowledge. But as unsettled as Kurt seems by it, Elizabeth isn’t offended. She’d probably have reacted the same way if her mother had said that to her at his age.

Heck, she’d be icked out if her mother rose from the grave tomorrow and said it.

Ew.

“Look, Kurt, your father and I love you. All we want is for you to be happy. Whether or not we approve of you having sex shouldn’t factor into your decision because it’s not about us. It’s about you and Sebastian. But just so you know, if it’s important for you to know, we won’t be disappointed. As long as you’re making your own decisions without pressure from anyone else, you can’t disappoint us. Okay?”

Kurt nods. “Okay.”

“Good. Now give me a hug.” Elizabeth opens her arms and her son slides in them, wrapping his around her waist. “Do you feel any better?”

“Yeah. Yeah, I do.”

“Good. Because I have one more piece of advice for you, and I hope that you’ll take it to heart because it could change everything.”

Kurt looks at his mom, his expression warm and relaxed, confident in his decision even more than he had been before. “Yes?”

Elizabeth gazes deep into her son’s eyes. She puts a hand to his cheek, kisses him on the nose, and says, “Lube, Kurt. Lube is your best friend.”

Kurt blinks. Then his whole face pinches and he scoots away, lips pursed as if he just tasted something sour. “Oh … oh God, Mom. Why? WHY?”

“I’m sorry, Kurt!” she chokes out, balled over and laughing. “I had to! Embarrassing my kid is a requirement, but with you … you don’t make it easy!”

“There’s a reason for that!” he groans, laughing in between.

“Kurt! You don’t understand! I couldn’t show my face around the other parents if I didn’t grab the chance when I had it!”
