[trashydemigodmess]

@imitheous​

Macey had been putting this off for a couple of weeks. It felt nice to not be worrying about colors and flowers and little details that made her head hurt. But, the one person who had been keeping her on track with all of those details still needed to know. She skipped up the steps of the Hermes cabin like normal, weaving around the hustle and bustle until she made it upstairs.

“Heeey—” Macey dramatically swung around the doorframe and leaned into Miranda’s bedroom, “I have a question for you. Just a thought.” Rey hopped from the bed and scurried over to rub against her feet. “Would you, uh, absolutely murder me if I decided to maybe...elope sometime in the near future?” Macey winced, but didn’t wait for a reaction before continuing, “And just have a massive party here with everyone like, next year or something instead of a wedding wedding?”

[imitheous]

@trashydemigodmess​

After sneaking out of Brennan’s apartment, Miranda had rushed back to her cabin to shower and change clothes.  She held onto some hope that it would help her calm her thoughts, but it proved to be a fruitless effort.  Semi defeated, she curled up in her bed and tried to force herself back to sleep.  It worked for about two hours or so, though she woke up feeling more exhausted than before.  Even resorting to tackling the cabin counselor chore list she rarely touch as a method of distraction, she finally broke and decided she couldn’t take it anymore and left her cabin once again.  Immediately, her feet started back down the path into town.  

However, the closer she got to the apartments, she felt nerves start to flutter around in her stomach, making her halt in her tracks and desperately tried to figure out what to do next.  The only thing she could think of was to change direction and whip her phone out of her pocket and quickly made a call.   Miranda was fully sure if she sounded more desperate or demanding over the phone, but regardless found herself waiting for her sister at the diner only a few minutes later.  Tucked into the corner booth, she stared at the coffee mug her hands were wrapped around, clearly lost in thought as the front door of the building jingled to signal a new customer entering. 

[hvlfwygod]

crystal clear on a star lit night | brent & macey (& miranda)

summary: you all know exactly what this is

Macey had taken her heels off the moment they got in the car. She always did. Her feet were propped up against the glove compartment, and was presently slouching in her seat, bopping her head to the music playing and scrolling through her phone. With a cute dress and a full face of makeup on, it was a stark juxtaposition. She turned to Brent, a grin on her face as she snapped a picture of him driving to post on her Instagram story, "I'm apologizing in advance about how annoying I'm gonna be. I'm fully prepared to take like, a million cute pictures of us, 'cause we don't have a lot of new ones."

Brent laughed, keeping his eyes firmly on the road. The sun was setting and shadows were expanding into darkness, but he'd driven this road so many times he wasn't very worried about it. The reason he was staring ahead was so he wouldn't stare (gawk, really) at Macey any more than he already had. Also, his heart was racing, and anything other than looking forward might give him away. "Don't apologize, that's exactly why I picked this place."

Macey shoved her phone into her purse and leaned her head back against the seat, "A fucking castle just out here." When Brent had randomly stumbled upon the place online, she immediately insisted they go. She didn't realize it was the kind of place that needed reservations a month in advance, however. So, the waiting for this date night to finally come was well worth it. "Like, that's so weird. I love it. We should get a castle." She joked.

"What would the two of us do in a castle?" One of Brent's hand floated off the wheel and hit the left blinker, reached for hers. He turned while his hand intertwined with hers. "Besides throw a party that your siblings would never be able to outdo."

"Uh, a lot of things." Macey grinned, bringing his hand up to her lips. She pressed a kiss to his knuckles before resting their hands on her leg. Her tone was suggestive, but, she dropped it easily with a laugh, "For real though, I've always wanted to just like, slide down a long ass hallway in my socks, or take a mattress down a huge staircase like a sled. And yes—we've tried that in the cabin. The staircase wasn't long enough." She shrugged, "Okay, amended. We Airbnb a castle."

The castle was just up ahead, so Brent tightened his grip and shifted somewhat in his seat. "We're about to be there," he said. "But yes, that I think we can arrange. We can slide down the hallway and do all manner of things on a mattress." He smirked, finally stealing another glance at Macey. "Okay, look to your right." He sped up just a touch, and then they passed the edge of the trees to a huge, open field. The castle was set back behind a courtyard, lit up softly by lights. Even Brent, who had only ever seen it during the day, was impressed. "Wow."

Macey scooted herself back up into a correct seating position so she could actually see as directed. Resting her forehead against the window, Macey watched as the trees gave way to the castle in the distance. A small gasp escaped her mouth, jolting up straight, "Stop it right now." She didn't quite know what she expected, but, what could you even expect when you've never seen a real castle before? "Brent!" Macey exclaimed, taken aback. Her bright eyes were still glued outside, watching as the castle got closer. She squeezed his hand again, "What the hell!"

Her reaction was all he needed; a wide, toothy grin spread across Brent's face and he pulled Macey's hand up to his lips to kiss it. "I told you it's beautiful here," he said quietly. He had to let go of her hand to properly turn into the long drive up to the building, but he found it again once the car was facing ahead once more. The sun was beaming out a brilliant sunset and everything felt perfect, so far. "Wait until you see the inside."

"Yeah, no shit. It's probably insane." Macey gave another bewildered laugh, eyes continuing to dart between all of their surroundings. She realized probably she should stop cursing with the fact that they were dressed up more than they have in months and were at, well, a castle.  Macey finally looked back over at him, "So, what exactly are we doing here, Mr. Date Planner?"

His heart stuttered but Brent masked it all behind a smile and easy, carefree shrug. "Dinner! And pictures, and a beautiful setting, and..." He put the car in park as a valet approached him. Finally, he could turn toward her fully and he played it up (though it wasn't that hard), ogling her a bit. "I get to see you all dressed up and imagine what it'll be like to take it all off later."

Macey couldn’t not bask in the attention, though her face felt warm all the same. She gave him a similar once over, doing an awful job of trying to hold back the smile on her face, “Hm, same.” Macey leaned over and gave him a quick kiss, “Okay, we’re at a fancy place, we can’t be all slutty just yet.”

"Of course, of course," Brent said, moving backward in his seat. "Don't move," he commanded as he opened his door and jogged around the car. The box containing the ring jostled just a bit in his pocket. Winking at her through the window, Brent opened her door and held a hand out for her.

Macey held her hands up in innocence as he got out of the car, then proceeded to take the few spare seconds to put her shoes back on. Her mind drifted back to their first date, how this act of chivalrous affection was off-putting and uncomfortable to her closed-off self. The thought felt laughable now. When he opened the door, she smiled, grabbing the bottle of wine from the car that he'd forgotten, and taking his hand to hop out of the car, "Thank you, sir, where to first?"

"We have," Brent checked his watch, "about twenty minutes until our reservation, but I want to save the walk around the courtyard for after. So we can take some golden hour pictures up there?" He pointed to the large, open level above them. The valet made it to them and he passed over the keys with a small smile, his arm sliding around Macey's shoulders.

"Oooh, yes, that's perfect," Macey bounced on the balls of her feet, "Lets head up there."

Brent led Macey across the drive, through huge entrance to the floor level of the castle. He paused, unable to not admire the view inside. Marble columns and floor-to-ceiling windows making the sunshine twinkle as it streamed in. "This is... wow." He took a deep breath. It was like everything around him was trying to look exactly how he needed it. He could get down on one knee right here. Instead, he glanced to Macey as he started up the huge staircase. "Want a picture here, too?"

"Wow," Macey breathed out, almost missing his words entirely. She turned around in a slow circle, watching how the sunlight made the room glow, and almost not noticing that Brent had moved to the stairs. She blinked back to reality and followed him, "Uh, yes, definitely." Her free hand grazed the railing as they walked up, "Gods, I feel like a princess just going up these stairs." She chuckled.

While she was distracted and starry-eyed, Brent pulled out his phone and took a picture of her, then held his hand out to take the wine from her. "I know, I feel fancier just being in here. Okay, pose, I got you."

Macey put a hand to her heart in a very 'who, me?' gesture, and hopped up a few steps above him, "Look at you, I've taught you so well," She laughed, "Okay, uhh, here." She leaned against the railing for him to take the picture.

Brent winked at Macey and took several pictures of her, then stepped back over to show them off. "All good?" he asked after he leaned in to kiss her.

Macey flipped through the pictures, favoriting the couple that she liked the most, "Yes, they're perfect," She smiled, flipping back one too far and seeing the picture he snapped of her before, "Aw! That's so cute!" It made her feel all warm and happy inside. Macey nudged him, joking, "Thanks for being my Instagram husband. Do you want a picture?" She raised an eyebrow.

Gods. She said it before, but hearing it tonight made Brent's stomach flip. "I'll take one outside," he said quickly. Brent pulled her in for another kiss and hoped he his face wasn't betraying him when he pulled back. "I'm gonna go check in and drop off the wine, I'll meet you out there."

"Okay," Macey shrugged, letting him go to get everything taken care of. He was a little quick to do so, which set off something in her brain, just the tiniest bit. Her feet were slow as she made her way out to the large balcony on the second floor, taking time to look at everything she could. Brent sometimes liked to have a surprise up his sleeve. Macey chose not to dwell on it or potentially spoil the fun, and simply moved on.

The air was just balmy enough, and the sunset seemed to know exactly what it was doing, painting the sky in warm colors. There were a few people scattered about on the balcony, but, Macey did a little twirl to herself regardless. She made sure to pull out her phone and send a picture to Miranda and Rory, having been raving about going to a castle for weeks now.

He did actually check in and drop off the wine, but not before sending a quick text to Miranda, confirming that they had arrived. He double and then triple-checked that the ring was still firmly in place, then wandered outside. He saw Macey, drenched in sunlight, and his chest constricted— not for the first time that day— at the sight. Once he was close enough, he put his hands on her hips. "Hi," he said, like they'd been apart for much longer than two minutes.

Macey wondered if that would ever get old. How her heart would lurch in surprise, or how she found herself melting into him, or how his voice sent little sparks down her spine. She looked up at him and smiled, full-on heart eyes, "Hey, all set? Oh—!" Macey fully turned around to face him, pointing a finger into his chest, "Do you want a picture? We could also probably ask someone to take one of us, but, I don't know if I trust how good they'll be."

"Hmmm." He looked around at the other people out on the balcony. "I think we can risk it," Brent said, smirking.

A few minutes later, they had managed to get decent pictures thanks to a group of fellow millennials. Brent leaned against the banister and scrolled through their options, Macey's phone's screen angled toward her so she could select her favorites. "I love this one," he said. "The way the light is working? Oh, and you look good, too."

"Me? Why are you so hot?" Macey asked honestly, a big smile on her face, "I love that one too." She reached over and tapped the little heart to save it.  "Yay, I'm gonna use that for like, everything now."

He wondered if that would still be the case in a few hours. Brent leaned in to kiss her again, an arm wrapping around her waist and lifting her just enough that her heels were a bit off the ground. "Me, too." Or maybe another picture, one that had yet to be taken. He handed her phone back to her and put a thumb to her mouth where her lipstick smeared just a bit out of place. "Sorry," he said, though he didn't really look very sorry at all.

The smallest, surprised noise escaped her mouth as she hovered above the ground, but, Macey gladly kissed him back. Her eyes followed his thumb, then spent a moment too long on his mouth before looking back up at him. "Oh, please," Macey chuckled, reaching out and fiddling with the collar of his shirt, which had gotten slightly skewed from the motion, "I have it in my bag. Reapplying lipstick is always worth it."

He ran his tongue over his lips as they gazed at each other, then glanced away. "Okay, let me control myself for dinner," he said. Despite what he said, his hand was still against her back as he checked the time on his phone. "They should be ready for us now."

Macey felt her face get warm once again, but, this time she knew he could definitely see it. She laughed and put a hand to her mouth, along with a roll of her eyes, "Gods, you're so ridiculous, I love you so much." She glanced at his phone as well, smiling, "Well, let's go eat some rich people food, then."

Brent laughed as they made their way back inside. "Great, I can't wait." Once they were seated, a waiter appeared with the wine he brought, freshly opened and chilling in an ice bucket. Brent picked up the bottle and poured Macey's glass, then his own. "Should we toast to something?"

Macey scrunched her nose, thinking. Maybe she shouldn't have her elbows on the table, or shouldn't be swinging her legs under her seat. She still didn't quite know what constituted as the right behavior in a fancy restaurant. "Uhhh," She gently rotated the full glass in front of her, then laughed at herself, "How stupid is it that the first thing that came to my head was the dog?"

Brent grinned and picked up his glass, sliding his fingers through her with his other hand. "That sounds perfect," he said. "To Ziggy, our wonderful, rambunctious son." He held the glass out for Macey to tap with hers.

Macey ran her free hand down her face, sighing, "He really is our son, huh?" Admitting that caused a weird feeling to roll through her chest. She smiled and tapped her glass with his, then took a sip, "Mm!" Her eyes lit up, "Hey, this is really good, this is from that new place you went to the other day, right?"

"It is," Brent replied after he swallowed some wine, nodding. It was good, bright and sweet. "I'm glad you like it, I kept going between three nearly identical flavors trying to decide what would be best." As he spoke, he picked up the menu, but didn't look down just yet. He knew from checking ahead that he only had a few options for himself, anyway.

Macey knew him well enough to know that meant he probably was overthinking and took far too long to decide, "See, that's when you just give up, close your eyes, and pick one." The thought of him trying to pick between them was so wholesome, it made her chest ache. Macey grinned, "But, you definitely picked the right one." She glanced down at the menu, "I'm guessing you definitely looked at this ahead of time and there's actually stuff you can eat, right?"

Brent widened his eyes, looking worried. "No, I totally didn't think of that," he said quietly. After a beat, he chuckled and took another sip of wine.

Macey frowned for a brief second, fully believing him. When Brent laughed, she gave a playful glare, reaching her leg out and lightly kicking him under the table. She laughed into her drink before taking a sip, "So annoying."

It all seemed to be going to plan. They ordered food and continued to drink—Brent made sure to pace himself for the drive and so he wouldn't jumble his words later— and everything felt perfect. Sometime around dessert, his phone buzzed with a text from Miranda, confirming she was in place. The closer they got to the end of the meal, the faster his heart seemed to beat. Maybe he paced himself too much, he thought as he poured himself another glass. He scooped a spoonful of his dessert and held it out to Macey. "Try this."

She'd made sure not to drink too much—she didn't want to risk toppling over into a bush in her heels or not remembering all of this tomorrow. But, she had drank just enough to feel a bit brighter and happy inside. Macey leaned forward to try the dessert, and proceeded to do a little happy dance in her chair after she did. "Oh my god, that's so good."

Brent watched her; a smile hadn’t fully left his face for most of the night but it grew in this moment. “So I’m thinking after we finish up here, there’s that courtyard out front, we can walk around and...” he pressed his lips together, then hastily added, “maybe see what we can get away with in the dark? Whatever you want.”

A smirk grew on Macey’s face, “That’s dangerous. I love it.” She checked her makeup in the reflection of her phone, and took a second to reapply the lipstick she’d lost from eating, “But yes, def, let’s go explore outside first. It looked so gorgeous when we came in.”

With a nod, Brent slid his hand back into hers from across the table, interlocking their fingers. He finished his dessert in a few more bites then topped it off with the last of his wine. It was getting harder to be patient, to not rush through the check and pull her outside and just ask. "I promise I'll be good, too, and let us enjoy the view before we do anything too crazy."

Macey laughed, squeezing his hand, “You do kinda love like, going zero to a hundred super fast. But,” She shrugged, “I love that about you.”

He pulled her hand up to his lips. "I love that about me, too." Brent laughed. "And I love that you love it."

Maybe she was feeling sappy because of the wine, or that he’d done all of this to surprise her, but, Macey rested her chin in her free hand, smiling, “You know what else I love about you?”

"What's that?" Brent asked. He copied her motion, putting his elbow on the table and holding his head up with his hand.

"I love that you're really kind. And thoughtful. And that you whistle when you do the dishes. And you have the best laugh. And the prettiest eyes I've ever seen." She pressed her lips together to keep her smile from getting too out of hand. A few years ago she would've stopped there. But she continued.

"Like, you have every right to just be the angriest person in the world, but, you aren't. You give everyone a chance and you make people feel welcome, instead. And," Macey's kneejerk response was still to bury her face into her hand and make a joke, but she forced herself not to, "You've just...helped me be a better person." She flipped their hands back and forth as she spoke, "You make me so happy and I feel so loved, like, all of the time. And I just really, really appreciate it. And I hope I always let you know that."

A few years ago, Brent probably would have had to look away, hide his face and his reaction to what Macey was saying. It was just as overwhelming to hear it now, his heart swelled all the same, but Brent never took his eyes off of her. “You do,” he said quietly. “You do like, every day. And I appreciate it so much, and I love you more than I can say. You’re the best thing to ever happen to me.” He pulled her hand a little closer and placed it inside both of his. “You help me become a better person, too. Come on,” Brent waved their waiter over. “I have something I want to show you.”

His words made her heart swell up as well. But she didn't have much time to dwell on it. Macey smiled, then squinted at him, jokingly, "I knew you had something up your sleeve." She looped her bag back over her shoulder, "Okay, let's go."

Did that mean she knew? Or was she thinking of something else, something smaller? He hoped it was the latter, though at this point some healthy suspicion probably wouldn’t get in the way of anything. Brent paid the check as quickly as he could, then pocketed his wallet. While he did, his other hand went into his other pocket, closing around the small velvet box that held the ring. He kept his grip there and brought out his other hand to hold Macey’s. They walked out of the restaurant and turned to head out toward the garden. He could see the fountain— still a ways away from here— where it would happen. His heart started racing again. “Can you believe it’s been five years already?”

The garden was absolutely beautiful, like something out of a movie. Macey had a hard time focusing on just one thing, but when Brent spoke, she immediately turned back to him. She shook her head, bewildered. The thought made her heart flip in her chest, "Gods, that sounds so fucking insane when you say it out loud."  She swung their hands back and forth as they walked,  "It literally doesn't feel that long at all, huh."

“I know,” Brent agreed. “Sometimes it still feels like we just started dating.” He chuckled, gazing around at all the foliage while they walked. “And like I’m this big idiot trying very hard to impress you.”

"You were the big idiot?" Macey laughed, "Brent, please, I was the one trying so hard to impress you."

He looked back to her, shaking his head. “Only because I had already been trying to impress you,” he insisted. Brent paused and leaned over to kiss her. “Seriously, I was a big mess and I had no idea how to relax. I was working so hard to figure out how to let loose, which,” he chuckled, “was probably counterproductive.”

"Yeah but, see, that's why it all works out. You didn't know how to relax, I didn't know how to be serious," She let go of his hands and took a few steps ahead, turning to face him and walk backwards, "You fit the puzzle pieces together and ta-da," Macey did a dramatic twirl, arms spread out, then curtsied, "Balance. Look at us now, I can be serious, you can have fun, we're out here thriving."

Miranda managed to find a spot that pretty much concealed her from the view of the fountain completely. She checked that her phone was stable on its tripod before moving to fiddle around with the camera, which may or may not have been swiped prior to her leaving camp, as the sound of voices reached her position. People had been occasionally passing her the past half hour or so, but these voices were familiar and caused her head to snap up and peer ever so slightly over her bush covering. Catching sight of Brent and Macey, she ducked back down before either could look her way, instead looking through the hole she had been poking away at creating while the two lovebirds were at dinner. Her leg was bouncing in excitement and nerves, but mostly excitement as she watched her sister twirl around. As they reached the fountain, she pressed the record button on her phone.

Brent let go of the ring and held both her hands in his to keep her steady as she walked backwards. They entered the circular clearing around the fountain, and the water jets were sparkly under the stars and elegant lighting. His heart had moved on from racing to stumbling and stuttering while he managed to keep a cool exterior. “Yeah. I guess we’re perfect for each other, huh?” He grinned, his stomach flipping, and pulled his gaze off her face and to the fountain behind her. “Look,” he said, indicating with his head that she should turn.

Macey grinned and turned around, expecting something to suddenly happen. The fountain was beautiful, and lit up just so that the water looked like it was sparkling. But besides that and the sprawling garden, she didn't see anything else. After a moment, she shrugged, "What am I supposed to be looking at?" Macey called behind her.

As soon as Macey turned, Brent took a deep, shaking breath and lowered himself to one knee. Only now, settling into the position, did the reality of what he was doing really, fully crash over him. He spoke past the lump in his throat. "Mace?"

"Yeah—?" Macey turned, then froze. There were a few reasons why Brent could be kneeling in front of her. Maybe he had to tie his shoe, maybe his back suddenly seized and he lost his balance. Or...there was the third reason. She blinked a couple times, still frozen. "Brent..." Her voice got meek and quiet, unable to say anything more than that.

"Yeah," he breathed out, answering her unspoken question. Brent took another inhale before he kept going. "I... Uh, wow." He smiled. "Wow. I can't believe we're here. I never thought that I'd meet someone that I would feel so certain about spending the rest of my life with. Mace, you make me so happy, like unbelievably so beyond happy, and I can't imagine going a day without you. So..." Brent's hands were shaking just slightly as he pulled the box out of his pocket.

Somewhere in the middle of his speech her hands came up to her mouth, but, she didn't even notice with the way her heart was pounding. All she could focus on was his face and the words coming out of his mouth. Macey felt like her brain was short-circuiting. Was this really happening? "Holy shit." She breathed out, so quiet it was only a whisper.

Brent laughed, the worry shattering as Macey cursed. "Yeah, holy shit. Holy fucking shit, Macey," he opened the box to show her the ring, "will you marry me?"

She laughed, too, tears pooling up in her eyes. The nerves had disappeared and there was no hesitation in her voice when she nodded, "Yeah—yes, oh my god, yes."

Miranda has been snapping pictures this entire time, from the second Macey started spinning to now. She wasn’t fully anticipating how emotional she was going to get watching this go down, but turns out it was very emotional. Tears are streaming down her face, beyond happy for her sister, and she kept having to wipe away the tears before she could continue snapping photos of the two of them. Pausing once again to clear her vision, she also took a second to breathe and can her eyes before getting back into it, waiting for her cue to run over.

Brent had to swallow hard before he was able to compose himself enough to stand. His own eyes were stinging and he took a brief moment to drag a finger under them before he continued. He plucked the ring from it's case and slid it over her finger, then wrapped her up in his arms and kissed her. "I love you."

Macey tried to keep her hand from shaking as he slid the ring on, but it was hard, due the fact that she was fully crying now. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him back, "I love you, too," She said, then kissed him again, "I love you so much."

He pressed Macey into him; it wasn't clear to him if his face was wet from her tears or his own, but he didn't care. He kissed her, and then again, and again, and then again, laughing against her lips when he finally pulled back. "I have one more surprise for you," he said, looking toward the spot where he knew Miranda was hiding.

Miranda saw Brent look over and quickly hid her camera before popping up from her spot.   Her face was also wet with tears, but she had a wide and bright grin on her face as she hurried over. She couldn’t help but laugh as she closed in on them, slowing herself down what was hopefully enough to stop them from going straight into the fountain as she threw her arms around Macey. “Congratulations, babes! I’m so fucking happy for you.”

"Gods, I don't know if I can handle another—" Her sniffle was cut off by a surprised yelp as her sister materialized from the garden. Macey was startled enough that her reflexes were too slow to hug back. When Miranda let go, she wiped the tears from her face, though her voice was still watery, "I—Wh—Why were you in a bush?"

Miranda stepped back so she could wipe more tears off of her cheeks, and couldn’t help but laugh at Macey’s question. “So you have fucking photos? Duh.” She turned to pull Brent into a hug as well, though she was only able to wrap her arms around his waist due to the height difference. “Congrats, allow me to officially welcome you to the craziest family on the damn planet.” She laughed again, pulling away to focus back on her sister. “I’m guessing we totally got you?”

Brent accepted the hug from Miranda and laughed. "I think we did. The look on Macey's face when she turned around was priceless."

"You guys," Macey tried to sound annoyed, but she'd already started crying again, so that was out the window, "What the hell." She looked down at her hand properly for the first time. The teardrop shaped diamond was a grey-ish black, the rose gold band embedded with little diamonds. The weight of it on her finger felt right. "It's so pretty," She sniffled, then wiped her eyes with her other hand, "Fuck, why am I crying so much?"

Reaching for her hand, Brent took another look at the ring. He'd stared at it enough for months now, but it was a whole new thing to see it on her finger. "I knew you'd like it," he said with a little smirk.

Miranda laughed. “Don’t worry, I think I managed to get her face in one of the photos.” When Brent pulled Macey’s hand up slightly, she couldn’t help but look at the ring as well. She looked up at her sister's face, looking for the flash of recognition at the ring but it never came. Miranda rolled her eyes. “Isn’t it beautiful? It's so your vibe.  Almost like you picked it yourself.” Her tone was only slightly sarcastic, but a smirk grew on her face as well.

Macey didn't let go of Brent's hand, looking at him with adoring eyes, "I love it." 

She blinked and turned to her sister, not quite sure what she was getting at. She glanced at the ring again, still holding Brent's hand. "How would I—" Macey stopped. The memory was vague: the ring store, Miranda trying to take her sweet time and Macey trying not to steal. Miranda coaxing her to pick something she loved and try it on.

Macey gasped, then immediately reached out and smacked Miranda in the arm, "You bitch! That was a fucking setup? Are you kidding?"

Brent grinned, poking her lightly in the side and kissing the side of her head. "Yep! She's been in on it the whole time." He angled her head up toward his and kissed her again. "I can't believe you never caught on."

Macey's eyes filled up with tears again, wrapping her arms around him in a hug, "How would I? I didn't think—I wasn't—" Expecting this to happen any time soon? Completely blindsided and still shocked? Yes and yes. "You had it this whole time?"

"This whole time," he confirmed, kissing her again.

Miranda laughed at her reaction, but stayed silent while the two of them talked. Once Brent pulled back again, she stepped in again. “I told you, it’s all about the story.” She teased. “There was a lot of us conspiring at the diner while I stole his fries.” She nudged him, more gentle than she normally would.

"Ugh, oh my gods," Macey wiped her tears with both hands, "Okay, I guess I'm just gonna keep crying, it's fine." She glanced around, finally coming back to terms with reality and that they were all just standing in the middle of a garden. "Miranda, are we taking you home?”

Brent kept his arms around Macey's waist, swaying with her slight as she spoke to her sister (and his sister-in-law, if all went to plan). "We are, unless she hijacked a car instead of taking the Uber I called for her."

Miranda rolled her eyes at his comment. “I didn’t steal a car don’t worry.  Any other day? Maybe, but not tonight.” She grinned at him and then bumped Macey with her hip. “He also promised me McDonald’s on the way back.  So there’s that too.”

"Cool, yeah, um," Macey sniffed and wiped her face again, "Gods, wow." Her brain still wasn't fully working. She leaned into Brent and rested her head against him.

Brent pulled his wallet back out and gave Miranda his credit card. "I did," he said. "But here, there's a bar up there, give us like twenty minutes.”

Miranda looked down at the credit card he was offering her, then back up at him and raised an eyebrow as if she was silently saying ‘really?’. Rolling her eyes, she took the card anyway and saluted him after putting it in her pocket. “You got it. I’m gonna leave the camera though.” She walked back over to where her things were set up, and pulled the tripod and camera out and over to where they were. “Just text me when you’re good and I’ll meet you guys.”

Brent sent Miranda a silent thank you as she retreated, then returned his attention to Macey, who still seemed to be speechless. He stared, grinning widely, admiring the way the wavy lights of the fountain bounced off her. "How are you feeling?" he asked, running a hand up her back.

"I..." It was all still sinking in. She kept running her thumb back and forth across the ring, assuring herself it was really real and really there. She looked up at him, once again caught by how striking he was, how he'd planned all of this, how he wanted to marry her. Macey shook her head, then laughed, "Amazing." Her voice was soft, "So happy."

It was surreal, how perfect this had all gone. How blissful and wonderful the night was, how feather-light he felt now. All these weeks of nerves and planning and now, his fiancé was standing in his arms. "Me, too," he mumbled. He swayed with her again, moving slowly like the promise of a dance they'd be doing one day. "So happy. So, unbelievably happy."

long drive | graves & miranda | part 1

date: friday, may 22, 2020

summary: two of the hermes siblings wake up at the crack of dawn for a road trip. final destination, myrtle beach. current location: somewhere on i-95 south.

“Hey! Monty! Let’s go!” Graves strolled into Cabin 11, making a beeline for the kitchen. “Loretta’s outside, doors are unlocked. Put your shit in the truck. Vamos, vamos! We got a long drive hermana.” He checked his watch as he dug through the fridge. 4:30. He closed the fridge, scooping up the food he’d gathered and dumping it rather unceremoniously into a bag. He snagged his water bottle from the counter and popped into his room to give it a once-over, making sure he had everything for the weekend. 

“Mira!” Graves called, after unloading more supplies into the truck. “We’re already behind schedule, andele.” He decided to forgo nicknames, his tone a little more serious than usual. “My mom’s cookin’ dinner tonight and we are not missin’ that!” Grave picked up his duffel bag and hooked the strap over his shoulder, seconds away from knocking on Miranda’s door.

Miranda opened her bedroom door, shuffling out of it with a few bags in tow.  "Okay, okay! Te escuché." She bent down to grab her magic bag, which was currently in its usual black backpack form, and threw it over her shoulder.  "Coño, don't remind me about the drive, I'm tired just thinking about it." She headed over towards the front door, pausing to slip on the flip flops she had left there before she finished packing. "Do you need me to bring anything out? Once I get to Loretta, I make zero promises that I'm coming back for you."

Graves shook his head, stepping back so she could pass. He made a shoo-ing motion with his hands in an attempt to usher her out the door. "Nah nah, she's already loaded up. I just need my-" he looked around the room, spotting the item and swiping it off the edge of the couch. "Hat, and now I have it. We're good to go. You're navigator and DJ, you know the drill." He put his hat on, turning it backwards. He gave the cabin one more cursory glance and closed the door behind them. "I hope Roz doesn't set the place on fire while we're gone." Graves hopped in the truck after loading in Miranda's bags and closed the door; he turned the key and the engine roared to life.

Miranda climbed up into the truck, dropped her backpack at her feet, and immediately started getting her phone connected to the stereo system Loretta had.  By the time Graves had finally joined her inside of the truck, she had already kicked her now bare feet up on the dash, and had her road trip playlist loaded and ready to go.  "Nah, we should be good, I didn't tell her what not to do, so it should be still standing when we get back.  I told Mace we were going to be gone, so maybe she'll swing by occasionally and check up on the place." She shrugged, ignoring the small part of her that was in fact worried about leaving her younger sister in charge of the cabin.  Once the engine started up, she turned on the radio to let her playlist start, leaning her head back into the seat as they started to drive.  The music filled the silence between them as they started getting onto the highway, and the farther they got from camp, the more excitement started to flutter inside of her. "I'm glad we're doing this, Gravy.  I didn't realize how badly I wanted to get out of that place."

He took the exit, as instructed by the GPS and looked over at Miranda. "Yeah, me too. I haven't been home since...I got here." It was weird to say out loud; now that he had, Graves' excitement doubled. "I can't wait for you to meet my mom. And Gran! And see the shop. And-" he cut himself off with a laugh. "I'm gettin' ahead of myself. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Miranda nodded her head as he spoke, a smile appearing on her face at his very obvious excitement.  "Yeah, especially since you're such a momma's boy, and all." She teased, choosing to do that instead of thinking about the last time she had gone home herself.  She hated thinking about it, but the idea of going on an adventure to meet Graves' mom had her feeling a little on edge about the whole family topic.  Regardless, she plastered a smile on her face.  "I'm mainly in it for those fishbowls you showed me, but yeah I guess the rest of it is fine too."

"Hey, I have a great mom! Of course I'm a momma's boy. You'll love her too, wait and see." Graves bobbed his head along to the song Miranda had picked. He checked the time. 5:00. He was not awake enough for the drive ahead of them and decided that the first pit stop would be at a Starbucks. His ears perked up at 'fishbowls'. "Oh fuck yeah, Monty, you're gonna love Duffy's. Well- actually you might hate it, it's kind of a dive? But the fishbowls are fuckin' bomb and we can walk there from the house."

"Why the fuck would I hate it? I'm not an elitist or some shit. But I am very okay with being able to just walk down the street whenever I want a drink." Miranda rolled her eyes, shuffling in her seat a bit until she was comfortably situated while half facing her brother, then pulled a blanket out of her backpack and draped it over her legs.

Graves shook his head with a laugh. "We'll have to walk there every day then. It's like a ten minute walk to the main avenue and there's Duffy's and really good pizza and we can get ice cream at Sweetz and- I'm ramblin'. You have to wait and see." He looked over at Miranda as she got comfortable in the passenger seat. "You wanna nap for a bit? I'll wake you up at the next rest stop."

Miranda laughed as well, though hers was laced with exhaustion.  "You, ramble? Never, Manito.  But, as long as they have black raspberry then I am in for ice cream."  She curled up slightly in her seat, and smiled when she heard Graves' offer.  "Yeah, I didn't really sleep last night, so that would be awesome." They talked for another few minutes, Miranda's voice slowly getting quieter before her end of the conversation dropped altogether as she fell asleep.

~~~ 

The rest stop parking lot was packed, considering it wasn't even 9 AM. It took Graves two loops around the place before he found a parking spot. He cursed himself silently for forgetting about the holiday weekend as he turned the car off and gave Miranda's shoulder a shake. "Mont, wake up. We're in New Jersey." When she didn't stir, Graves tried another tactic. He shook her arm again, talking louder this time, "Hey, hermana, levántate! I'll buy you coffee. There's a Starbucks here." As his sister began to wake up, he hopped out of the truck and sent two quick texts: one to his mom, the other to Macey, updating them with the progress of their road trip.

Miranda let out a small groan when she felt her shoulder get shaken, adjusting herself so that she was away from the source of the movement.  When it returned, but stronger this time, she let out a louder whine, though it cut off when she heard 'coffee'.  It took her a minute to wake up enough to register where they were, then another three to stretch and climb out of the truck to join Graves in the parking lot.  "Oh gods, coffee. Yes, please."

Graves stretched his arms over his head and yawned. "Okay, cariña. Let's make this quick, we still have nine hours to go. You grab breakfast, I'll grab the coffee?" He handed her a very wrinkled twenty dollar bill from his pocket then bumped her shoulder with his. "Meet you back here in five?"

Miranda looked down at the money he handed her, then back up at him and raised an eyebrow to silently ask him why this moment was happening.  Then she saw the look on his face, and the excitement in his eyes and decided not to say anything, instead pocketing the bill and following him towards the rest stop.  "Lo tienes. See you in five."  She started to walk, put turned around when she thought of something, but continued to walk backwards.  "Iced coffee!" Miranda turned back around and over to the food court.  The line made her take a little longer than five minutes, but roughly ten minutes later, she returned to the truck with two breakfast sandwiches in hand.

Graves was sitting in the driver's seat already, door open, his feet hanging out the side. The line for coffee had been much shorter than that for food and he'd beat Miranda back to the truck, taking the opportunity to check his texts. As she walked up to the car, he grabbed her iced coffee and handed it to her, eagerly trading for a sandwich. "Thank gods you're back. I'm starving to death, Mont. You ready to get back on the road?"

Climbing back into the truck, Miranda let out a huff. “I swear to gods, people are idiots. Someone was trying to get a vegan egg sandwich. At a rest stop. Like, where the fuck do they think they are, a gourmet coffee shop?” She rolled her eyes, exchanging food for a coffee and took a long sip. “But si, vamos, get me away from this place.”

He chuckled, waving his sandwich at her, "I assume this is not a vegan egg sandwich then?" Graves unwrapped his sandwich and took a bite before putting on his seat belt and turning the key in the ignition. "'This place' as in the rest stop? Or 'this place' as in New Jersey, armpit of America?" He joked before pulling out of their spot and getting back on the road.

Miranda laughed, returning her feet to the dash as he pulled back onto the highway.  "Sorry to disappoint you, I know how much you're dying to have something in common with 'tough guy' Brent." She teased, unwrapping her own sandwich and taking a bite out of it.  "I was going to say just the rest stop, but you know what, either one is fine by me at this point."

"Oh my gods, did Macey tell you about that?" Graves asked, indignant. He took another bite of his sandwich. "Brent is cool, and scary. Y'all stop makin' fun of me for bein' intimidated or I'm not talkin' to y'all about anything anymore." His eyes flashed to the GPS and he switched lanes before focusing back on the road. He repeated his earlier statement, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel in time with his words, "Nine hours to go, hermana. Luckily, we'll be out of Jersey in about an hour. "

"No? I was just there after the first night of fight night.  Brent just said the same exact thing Macey and I had already said you practically fell over trying to get back to the cabin after that.  Though now I will be texting Macey." Miranda took another sip of coffee.  "Cool, I'll give you. Scary? Sorry, can't agree there, Gravy."  When he switched topics, she decided to ease up, considering he was driving and was honestly in complete control of her not getting lost while wandering around Myrtle Beach.  She started the process of connecting her phone back to the stereo to get the music playing again.  "That's not bad, Any requests for the DJ?"

“Ah, fight night,” Graves confirmed, finally understanding the moment Miranda was referring to. He took another bite of his sandwich, mumbling, “punched a god” around his mouthful of food. He was thankful Miranda didn’t press the topic; Graves wanted to get to know Brent better. He didn’t really find the older demigod that scary, but he didn’t know him well enough to see the softer side that his sisters always pointed out. And if this guy had punched a god in the face without being vaporized on the spot? Well, Cam definitely wanted to call him a friend. He blinked, registering Miranda’s question a few seconds after she asked. “Hm, somethin’ we call yell along to? Somethin’ that’ll keep me awake until we make our next stop. It’s a long drive, but it’ll be worth it, I swear.”

Miranda nodded.  "Alright, I can work with that."  She debated offering to drive for a little bit, but her brother was stubborn.  Besides, it didn't even matter if she said anything or not, they both knew that they would swap if he needed a quick power nap, so she decided to not bring it up. Tapping her phone a few times, she pulled up a new playlist of songs they could easily jam out to and pressed play, reaching out to turn the stereo up as it started blasting out.
