HELLO KITTIE, i have a request 🤭🤭, what about poly! Relationship w/ abby & ellie x reader, obv smut (god im such a whore)

Hear me out; the 3 of them living together, and one night they come from patrol to find reader high & masturbating themself with a pillow thinking of them 🫦🫦

im sorry im down BAD for them

-🎧

been thinkin abt this request since i got it 🙀

high tide.

🎀 mentions of weed, abby and ellie share reader typa relationship, masturbation, mentions of the strap on but it’s not used, not writing another part to this sorry !

you hated being bored. therefore, tuesdays were your most despised day. it was the day abby and ellie were both scheduled to be out on patrol together, whilst you sat in your shared home all bored and lonely. the least you could do was get high and pass the time until they returned.

“you sure you wanna smoke without us? not gonna get all scared again and disturb jesses peace like you did last time, right?” ellie smirked, tilting her head at you as she pulled her jacket over her shoulders, abby stood behind her zipping hers up. you recall the time you smoked waaaay too much weed, got super panicked and ended up knocking at jesses door crying, telling him that you think you’re allergic to snow.

before you got the chance to respond, abby’s head whipped around, braid falling over her shoulder as she came and stood by ellie to look at you where you were sprawled on the sofa clutching a bag of weed. “i told you that was a bad idea earlier.” she argued, making your head lull back up at the ceiling with a defensive whine.

“but it’s boring. i know my limits now.” you sat up, baggy tshirt that belonged to abby jostled— exposing some of the skin on your stomach as you did so. you bat your eye lashes playfully, bringing your fists up beneath your chin. “i’ll be good, i swear.”

abby shrugged, giving up on telling you what you couldn’t do, knowing you were likely to do it anyway. “fine, have at it.” she was now occupied by looking around for her gloves, snatching it out of ellie’s hands when she saw the brunette trying to pull them over her own palms quietly, having lost hers. “i think not.” abby tutted, not in the best of moods about having to leave her sweet girl in her tshirt all alone to go on patrol.

“sheesh, what happened to sharing is caring.” ellie muttered, flicking her eyebrows up at you making you giggle.

“abby shares sometimes, i’m living proof.” you jest, wiggling your fluffy-sock adorned toes into the couch cushions to keep them warm. ellie smiled, huffing a quiet laugh out her nose before her eyes flickered to the pre roll you’d made from your bag before they’d entered the room.

“y’want me to light you up atleast, ‘fore i go?” ellie took a few steps towards you on the couch as she pat her pockets for her lighter before leaning her palms against the back of the seat. you scrunched your nose, looking at it before looking back at her shaking your head.

“i got it. gonna wait til’ i get really bored and desperate.” you smiled and she pat the back of the couch in a quick rhythm before pushing herself off.

“alright. god you’re so fuckin’ lucky—”

“come on, ellie.” abby called from the door, before her heavy footsteps rearrived in the door way, giving her a look telling her to hurry up before her gaze softened, looking at you.

“we won’t be too long. be careful, okay?” she instructed, pleadingly — telling you basically not to smoke more than you can handle again.

“i will. bye guys, miss you already.” you pouted, arm extended as you waved with your fingers.

“bye, babe.” ellie leant forward and ruffled your hair before following abby out the door, the sound of them bickering outside muffled as they trudged further away.

a few hours passed, and you could no longer entertain yourself. to be honest, you hadn’t tried too hard— you hadn’t even moved from the couch. you were set on having a lazy day, and that you were having. you rolled around on the couch trying to get comfortable again, kicking off the blanket and hoisting your leg up, abby’s t-shirt bunched up around your waist exposing your underwear and socks. you gazed at the pre-roll, enough was enough.

abby had gotten in your head a little about smoking too much, so you made sure you were careful — smoking half the zoot right there on the couch (knowing abby would complain about you smoking inside, but hey, it was punishment for her getting in your head.) before stubbing it out, enjoying the relaxing buzz it brought you. this was it, you thought. maybe abby was onto something, there was a limit — and you’d done a great job at not reaching it today, getting just high enough to feel good and hazy without it being all too intense. you relaxed back on the couch, stretching your arms out beside you.

the good feelings had made you feel all mushy and affectionate, and you blinked your red eyes open to stare ahead of you, pouting at their absence. you wished that they were here right now, experiencing your joy with you. you pictured ellie to your left and abby to your right and smiled, practically being able to hear their pointless bickering. the only time they could make true peace with eachother, was when they were making you feel good. most of the time, anyway.

something stirred in your underwear, a warm familiar blanket of pleasure washing over you thinking about the way they doted over you, letting you fall into that glorious submissive space just to take care of you. you wanted that right now, you wanted them to come home and take care of you.

the submission creeping in made you feel higher and you sucked your bottom lip into your mouth as you sunk down lower on the couch, letting your legs fall open. the heat had wedged itself between your thighs and you felt the urge to touch yourself tingling in the tips of your fingers. you indulged, running your hand down your stomach the same way one of your girlfriends might and wasted no time letting the pads of your fingers climb over your clothed clit, the sensation heightened by your high. you let out a shaky breath, rubbing with more vigour as you brought one foot up, bent to sit flat on the couch giving your more access. you cursed, slipping your hand into your panties and wondering how you could get so wet so fast.

you spread your juices through your folds, fingers darting around your swollen button making you mewl out. you wanted to whine one of their names, but your heart ached trying to decide who’s to moan first, not wanting the other to feel second bested despite their lack of presence. you fucked your own hand until you came, loud, desperate and easy. almost too easy, as it was proven that the second you came down the burning ache hadn’t subsided. you felt insatiable.

more desperate now, you decided to switch up your tactics. as soon as you had grabbed the cushion, yanking your underwear down just to your knees, too eager to take them off completely — your eyes were clamping shut, stuffing the folded cushion between your legs laying on your front. from the way it was folded, it nudged directly against your sensitive clit, folds spreading around its shape. your cheek smushed itself into the couch as you ground your hips, slow and lethargic, each move tugging your panties slightly lower down your legs, still binding them with its material.

patrol hadn’t been too long, luckily for the two girls. as usual, they were driving eachother up the wall with small disagreements and ellie’s inappropriate jokes. they were more than happy to arrive back home to their sweet mediator, hoping to be greeted with an excited embrace as usual.

abby unlocked the door, turning her nose up immediately as a warm pungent wall of cannabis hit her in the face. ellie shuffled in behind her, dragging her feet slightly to kick any snow and mud off. “fucking freezing out there— oh, somethin’ smells good.”

“neither of you listen, do you?” she sighed, unzipping her coat as the two of them walked through to the living room, expecting to see you napping or engaged in a book. ellie heard the telltale mewl of your pleasure before abby did, distracted by pulling her coat off as they walked towards the room. the brunette briefly stopped with a growing excited smirk before continuing to follow the broad blonde into the entrance of the living room.

they stopped at the door, watching your grind your cunt into the delicately stitched cushion, pathetic whimpers distracting the two of them momentarily from the smell of weed. abby’s demeanour softened, feeling the way her body heat up at the sight. your leg hitched up, making the swell of your ass more plump as your folds shimmered in the low light. ellie particularly enjoyed the view of your panties not even pulled fully down your legs, suggesting your desperation to get yourself off.

you were only alerted of their presence when abby’s heavy boots creaked the floor board— but you were in no rush to lift your head and stop your movements. infact, your hips slowed to a stop reluctantly as you just stared back at them guiltily, unsure of what the reaction might be.

“having fun?” abby crossed her thick arms over her chest and you tensed, pushing your cunt more firmly into the pillow at the sight.

“was just… i…” you were lost for words, you’d totally been caught. your eyes dragged over to ellie, the sound of her backpack thudding against the floor drawing your attention. she strode over, dropping to a kneel in front of you. she was smirking with amusement which only made you blink your eyes at her more innocently like you hadn’t been doing anything at all, her hand reaching out to take a hold of your chin, tilting it up to face you into the light more.

“just as i expected, high as a kite. damn, we can’t leave this one alone for five minutes.” she shook her head and you began to push yourself up off the pillow, the shame finally reaching you as a flushed heat crept up your cheeks from behind your ears. a weight dipped in the couch beside you, abby taking a seat. her strong hand clasped the back of your thigh.

“you can stay like that.” it wasn’t an offer, nor a suggestion— more like a thinly veiled threat. ellie nodded sympathetically and you dropped your cunt back down onto the pillow. abby’s hand casually slid up your thigh, her thumb just missing your folds as it reached your ass, taking the meat of it and jiggling it slightly. “you’re actually in the perfect position to get fucked, i just don’t know if you deserve it after smoking inside again and all.” she pretended to contemplate, hand sliding back down to your where your panties were bunched up around her, dragging them down a few inches. you knew she was staring at your soaked folds and the way they were spread around the cushion— you knew abby was strong willed, but she wasn’t that strong willed.

ellie glared at abby, scoffing as if to say ‘i’ll do whatever i want, actually.’ and turned to you almost stubbornly. “sit up for me babe, i’ll help you out.” she emphasised. you pushed yourself up by your clammy hands and repositioned yourself so you were sat on the couch, panties still pulled half way down which felt even more embarrassing from this position. ellie readjusted her squatted position on the floor, before taking hold of the backs of your knees and yanking so your hips were up where she needed them. “there ya go.” she muttered, pushing your knees up as she leant in, taking a long lick through your soaked folds and enclosing her mouth around your clit, sucking. you whined, folded legs flailing a little as you tried to ignore the imposing mountain of abby beside you, staring, almost plotting.

you thought you could ignore her intimidation, enjoy ellie’s tongue lapping you up, and you were — but your attention was briefly stolen when she spoke. “spoiled.” was all she said, a slow shake of her head paired with it. you turned to look at her, and then it was her turn to feel weak. you just looked so pretty — eyes glossy and pink, mouth swollen, flushed and drooly, hair a little out of place, chest rising and falling with pants with the brunette between your thighs, your hand gently caressing the back of her head. fuck, abby thought— and she couldn’t stop herself from her hand sliding round the back of your neck like a snake and gripping you there, not wanting you to tear your gaze away. your brows furrowed at her touch, continuing to whimper from ellie’s ministrations.

the blonde pulled you in for a kiss, messy and barely giving you a chance to breathe. she fucked your tongue with her own for a while before you broke away when you felt ellie’s mouth disappear from your cunt. you turn to face her but was met immediately with her lips on yours — jealous and attention seeking. you barely had time to register the change-over, a gasp wracking through your chest when her slender middle finger slid right up inside you, pressing hard against the delicate gummy spot within. she kissed you through your shocked noises of pleasure, and you noticed abby’s hand still gripping the back of your neck, always somewhat in control.

“yeah, needed that huh?” ellie whispered against your lips, and you felt abby’s hand start to travel. she was grasping the back of your shirt now in her fist, like you were a bag of fruit or something. it was almost humiliating, the same way kittens get lifted by the scruff of the neck. she waited for the right moment before beginning to tug your shirt up, removing it over your head and from your body. your nipples peaked now in the sudden change of temperate and abby shuffled closer, big palm running across them before grabbing one, thumbing the nipple. the sensation made you buck your hips against ellie’s hand, overwhelmed and oh god — you were going to cum again already.

abby’s hand left you as soon as she sensed this, and so did her warmth from beside you. she stood up infact, and ellie actually pulled away to let you look up at her, taking the opportunity to take abby’s seat so she could kiss your neck, fingers finding your cunt once more.

“don’t let her cum yet. you wanna slut yourself out on the couch when we come home, you get fucked properly. those are the rules.” she looked so big, her long sleeve off-white henley gripping her biceps like it was it’s day job, her shoulders squared and her chin lifted and determined. she held your watery gaze before walking away to her bedroom to retrieve what you can only imagine to be the strap on. ellie’s fingers only sped up, thumb tapping against your clit as she suddenly began the race to get you to cum before abby returned.

“els.” you whined warningly only making her chuckle against the shell of your ear.

“what?” she smiled, your fingers clenching around her at just her voice.

“abby said—”

“i know what she said.” she whispered meaningfully, making no effort to slow her hand down. oh. that’s what was going on here.

“y’gonna— mmh— get me in t—trouble.” you were panting and you felt the sweat gathering at the back of your neck, almost a marking of abby’s absence.

“so get in trouble, we all know you like being punished anyway.” she shrugged, green eyes boring into the side of you face. “you’ll still be my good girl atleast.” she purred, trying everything to push you over the edge as you began to hear abby’s feet descending back down the stairs. your cunt spasmed around her fingers and she smirked, knowing she was about to be victorious.

“ellie!” you squeaked, feeling yourself tipping over the edge, almost frightened and panicked.

“thats it, baby. you take whatever you want. fuck, i love this greedy pussy.” she cursed as you exploded, the unmistakable sounds of your orgasm filling the room, just as the footsteps of abby returned — her strong shoulder leaning against the door to watch. your eyes were closed, but you knew her arms were crossed, face unreadable, thick strap very much present.

“hope you enjoyed cumming.” her strong voice carried once you’d come down, making your pink eyes flutter open from dream-land. ellie was kissing your jaw, smug smirk on her face as she wiped her fingers on your thigh. abby stepped forward into your hazy view. “because it won’t be happening again tonight.”

____________________________________________

The orange and white monitors flickered between worlds as red irises scanned the various universes. His eyes calm down to his normal mahogany brown as he gazes at the various photos and videos of you and him.

Almost six years since he last held you in his arms. Last time he heard your sweet voice. How your laughter filled a room. When he pleasured you, your moaning was music to his ears.

His tired gaze stared at a video of you and him when the both of you went to the beach. You held the phone as it faced the two of you, sitting between his legs, resting against his chest. His lips twitched upwards into a small smile as he watched you change the filters from bunny ears to kitty ears on both of you. He rolled his eyes in the video at your cute antics as he held you in his arms, giving you a loving kiss on the cheek before the video ended.

Every moment he thinks of you reminds him of how much he messed up. Why did he distance himself from you? If he only opened up to you like you tried to do multiple times. He pushed you further away until he couldn’t shatter your heart into smaller pieces.

He wished he had run after you. He wished he had gone to your earth and pleaded for you to stay with him. But after you ended things, he broke down and drowned himself in work.

“Miguel?” Jess walked in.

“What?” He lightly snapped, not wanting to be disturbed.

“I’m taking Gwen on her first mission. I was just checking in to see if her watch is ready.” Jess swung up to his platform to grab the watch.

“Make sure she doesn’t break it again.” Miguel tossed it to her, which she caught with ease. Jess glanced at the monitor of you and him. A sigh escaped her lips.

“I’ll make sure she doesn’t. How about you come on this mission with us? Show Gwen some of your skills.”

“I’m busy monitoring the multiverse. I can’t be bothered with menial missions just to teach a rookie a few tricks.” He rolled his eyes.

“I thought you would be interested in going on this specific mission because we’ll be going to y/n’s Earth.” Jess jumped down as she began to walk out.

“What did you say?” Miguel snapped as he turned around and jumped down, walking right up to her.

“I just thought you could use this excuse to finally see her.” Miguel glared down at her before finally giving in as he sighed.

“It’s been almost six years Jess. She probably has moved on by now. Why would she want to see me after all these years?”

“It wouldn’t hurt to try. Just come on the mission and make up your mind there.” Miguel pondered what Jess said. His heart yearned to see you again. But his mind was making him panic. What if she doesn’t want to see me?

“I’ll go.”

…

The mission was very simple as only a random person appeared and needed to be sent back. He would have stayed back at HQ if this wasn’t your world.

“I’ll see you back at HQ. Go get her back.” Jess said as she looked over at Miguel, who huffed as he swung away from her and Gwen.

“What’s he doing?” Asked Gwen.

“He’s going to see an old friend.” Jess looked at the direction Miguel went off to before heading back to HQ.

It only took minutes to get to for him to get to your apartment. However, time felt like it was moving in slow motion as he walked into your apartment complex and up the elevator to your floor.

33B, your apartment number. He dissolved his suit to appear in his casual clothing. His chest hurt as he felt his heart pound against it. Taking a second to calm his breathing, he knocked on your door.

In seconds the door opened wide as he was met with your surprised gaze. Even after almost six years, you still looked the same. The same gorgeous woman he fell for when he first laid his eyes on you. He wished he could wrap you in his arms and hold you. Capture your sweet soft lips with his.

“Miguel?” Hearing your soft voice again melted his cold heart.

“What are you doing here?” You ask as you stare up at him. Butterflies came to life in your stomach by seeing him again in person. He looked the same, except for his frame. He was a lot bigger the last time you saw him. After the breakup, he must have begun working out even more. Your heart dropped when you thought that he might be seeing someone new. Cheeks dusted pink as you move your gaze briefly away before looking back at those brown eyes you fell in love with years ago.

“There was an anomaly reported on your earth.” His response made you frown as you hoped he would come here to see you.

“Oh, do you need help with it? I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t been Spiderwoman in a bit.”

“Jess and I have already finished the mission. It wasn’t that bad.”

“Oh, I see. Then why are you here?” You ask again for his reason. Miguel’s gaze darted to different parts of your living room, having difficulty gazing at you without kissing you. You can see he was nervous as you could see his chest rise and fall faster than normal.

Suddenly, his gaze moved to you as he took your hand, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles. A shiver went up your spine as his hand swallowed yours. You felt like a schoolgirl again by him only holding your hand.

“I want to talk. I missed you, Y/n.” You felt the butterflies in your stomach become wild. He missed you like you missed him. But why did it take him so long to come see you? Why did he wait so long? You were suddenly reminded why you were heading out. You remove your hand from him as you pick up the things you dropped.

“I-I have to go.” You move out into the hallway with him as you close and lock the door. Moving past him, Miguel gently grabbed your arm.

“Y/n, please don’t ignore me. I really want to talk.” His voice was stern, yet his gaze looked desperate.

“I-I do want to talk, but I have to go.” You sigh as you remove your arm from his grasp. Pressing the elevator button, you walk in as it opens. Before it closed, Miguel pushed it back, walking in.

“Can’t we talk on your way?” He stood in front of you as you backed yourself against the wall. He walked closer, inches apart from each other. His gaze moved from your eyes to your lips, then back. Before, you would have a quick make-out session if no one walked in. He would have pinned you against the wall, arms wrapped around each other and tongues down each other’s throats.

“Fine.” You sighed as you turned your gaze from him. You could see in his eyes how he recalled your heated sessions in this same elevator years back. Walking out of the elevator with Miguel by your side, your nerves began to skyrocket.

You were on your way to pick up Mateo. Miguel’s son, that he didn’t know about. Checking the time on your phone you had 10 minutes to get there. Luckily, Mateo’s school was only a 5-minute walk away from your apartment.

“I wanted to say I’m sorry for distancing myself from you back then. For becoming cold towards you when you only tried to help me.” His words brought you out of your thoughts as you looked at him.

“I know that time of the year is really hard on you. But you didn’t have to shut me out. I was your girlfriend.” He looks back at you before looking ahead.

“I know. I wish I could take it back.”

“I’m sorry too. You were going through a dark time. I should have stayed by your side. But I didn’t have that much time to wait for you back then.” You stopped now in front of Mateo’s school.

“What do you mean by that?” Miguel’s brows furrowed, followed by a frown, confused by your last words. You take a deep breath as you look up at him.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes. Please wait here.” You say as you turn from him and walk into the school doors. You walk down the hall and see other parents picking up their kids. You see Mateo blabbering to another kid as you get to the room before he notices you.

“Mommy!” Mateo runs up to you as you lift him up into your arms.

“Hi baby, how was your first day?” You wave to his teacher before walking back down the hall.

“It was amazing! We drew our favorite animals, and we got to play games all day!” You smiled as he told you about his day.

“I can’t wait to hear more about it. Someone is waiting for us outside.” You tell him. Your last words perked his interest as he gave you a surprised look.

“Who is it?!”

“You’ll see in a second.” You set him on the ground and hold his hand as you walk out the front doors. You sigh in relief as Miguel is still waiting, but it is soon replaced with worry as you see Miguel’s eyes widen as he doesn’t move his gaze from Mateo.

You walk up to Miguel, and his gaze finally meets you again before returning to Mateo, who hides behind your leg. You knew it would only take him seconds to figure it out by how much he looks like him.

“How old is he?” Miguel breaks the silence.

“5 years and 6 months.” You answer him. Your gaze looks at your surroundings as other parents obviously glance over. “Is it possible if we can continue this back at the apartment? People are sort of staring.” Miguel nods his head before you walk back to the apartment.

Unlocking the door, Mateo runs in, throwing his bag in the living room. You turn to face Miguel, who is still standing at the entrance.

“You can come in. I won’t bite.” You smile at him. He chuckles at your response as he walks fully into the living room.

“He’s mine?” He asked as a question even though he knew the answer. You bite your lip as you nod your head. Your affirmation made his heart race again. He had a son. The same boy walked back into the living room, hiding his face in your leg.

“Can I?” Miguel looked at Mateo.

“Hey, Mateo. This is Miguel. Your father.” You tell your son as you comb your fingers through his hair to make him feel more comfortable. Mateo looks up at you before looking at Miguel.

Miguel kneels to the ground as Mateo slowly moves from your leg. You gently guide him to Miguel.

“Hi.” Mateo shyly speaks.

“Hi, Mateo.”

“Can I call you Dad?” Your eyes widened slightly at Mateo’s sudden question. A large smile appears on Miguel’s face.

“Of course, you can.” Air comes back to your lungs as if you were holding your breath. You can see Mateo’s face beam as he hugs Miguel. At first, surprised, Miguel hugs him back as he stands back up, holding him in his arms. Tears brim the corner of your eyes. You never thought this day would happen.

“Wow! You’re so big! You’re way taller than Mommy.”

“That is true, Papi.” Miguel chuckled as he looked over to you. You walk over to Mateo and lightly pinch his cheek before kissing him on the same spot, which makes him giggle.

Miguel looked at you and his son with so much love. He had a family again. He was going to do everything he could to win you back.

“Are you married to Mommy?” Mateo’s sudden question surprised both of you. Your cheeks redden as you look away from Miguel, who turns his head to hide his small blush.

“How about you go and play with your toys in your room? Hmm?” You tell Mateo.

“Aww, but I want to stay here.” Mateo pouts as he crosses his arms.

“You should listen to your mama, Mateo.” Miguel set him to the ground. You had yo admit, having another person back you up when your son was acting stubborn was nice.

“Can I show him my room first?” He pleads with you.

“Alright. But as soon as you do, you’ll let us talk?”

“Yay!” Mateo grabs Miguel’s hand and pulls him to his room. His hands felt so small and delicate in his large hands.

You lean on the doorframe as you smile at the sight before you. Mateo showed Miguel his favorite stuffed animals and toys as the two conversed about race cars and other things that came from your five-year-old’s mind. After a few minutes, you gently brush your hand against Miguel’s shoulder. Turning to you, he stood back to his full height.

“Ok Mateo. Your papa and I have to go talk now.”

“Aw, ok.” Mateo pouts as he sits on his race track carpet with a few of his stuffed animals in hand.

“If you’re good and don’t bother us. I’ll let us get pizza for dinner tonight.” At the mention of pizza Mateo jumps up and down in joy before going back to play with his toys.

Both you and Miguel leave his room. You walk to your bedroom, letting him in before closing the door.

“I didn’t think I could get you to the bedroom this quick, cariño.” Miguel chuckled.

“I did it so we can talk in private. But still, be close to him just in case.” You roll your eyes playfully, trying to hide your smile from his comment.

The silence grew in the room before Miguel had enough and broke it.

“Did you end things because you were pregnant?”

“Yes.” You looked away from his gaze as you felt guilty.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” His voice lowered barely above a whisper. You still heard as you closed your eyes, taking a deep breath before exhaling. You had some speculation that if Miguel ever came to find you, you would have this conversation.

“I tried telling you. But you were so distant from me. I couldn’t find the right time to tell you. I stopped trying after you said you didn’t want to have any more kids anymore after…after Gabriella. I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to be a father again if I told you.” Tears pricked the corners of your eyes as you tried so hard to hold them in. You look back at Miguel as he tries to remember what he said back then. His eyes suddenly widen slightly before he looks back at you with regret. He walks slowly over to you.

“Did that happen on Gabi’s birthday?” Miguel forced the question out. Even as years go by, his heart still aches at the reminder of his daughter.

“Yes. You said, ‘The thought of having another child is unbearable. I couldn’t handle the pain again if something happened.’” You remembered his words exactly, as they stayed engraved into your mind all these years. You couldn’t stop the tears from running down your cheeks.

“I-I didn’t mean to say I never wanted children again. I was so grief-stricken back then. I wasn’t thinking about what I was saying. If only I didn’t say those words. I would have been there with you. Seeing Mateo grow up.” Miguel sat on your bed, hands covering his face as he drowned in regret. You sit next to him as you move his hands from his face and guided his chin to look at you.

The tears continued to come out as you saw his eyes become glossy. “I’m so sorry you weren’t there for Mateo’s first five years. If you want, you can still see him grow up.”

“Of course I want to watch him grow up. I want to be in his life. But I want to be in your life too.” His last words caught you off guard. Miguel leaned in to kiss you, but you covered his lips with your hand. He pulled back, a frown evident on his face.

“Do you not want me back, amor?

“I do, Miguel. But I can’t rush right back into it. It’s been almost six years. And we only were together for six months before. Plus, let’s have Mateo get used to you being around first before putting our relationship on him too.”

“Alright. I’ll be patient but not that patient.”

“Let’s just see how the first week goes.” You put your hand out for him to shake in agreement. He gave you a deadpan look before taking your hand. However, instead of shaking it, he brought it to his lips and gently kissed the bottom of your wrist.

“Miguel…” You playfully roll your eyes. He kisses your wrist one more time before smirking.

“Alright, alright. I’ll play nice. For now.” You playfully hit his chest, which makes him chuckle as you both leave your bedroom and walk into the living room. Since Mateo didn’t disrupt your conversation, you decided to order a pizza.

“Do you still like pepperoni?” You ask Miguel as you sit next to him on the couch.

“Sí.” He replied as he scooched closer to you on the couch. You noticed but ignored it as you continued ordering the pizza online.

“Momma!” Mateo said as he ran to the living room.

“Yes, sweetie?”

“Can I watch my cartoons?”

“Of course.” Mateo sits on the floor in front of the tv as you grab the remote to turn it to the right channel.

As the cartoons played, Mateo would explain the characters to Miguel whenever a new one appeared on the screen. You didn’t realize how close on the couch Miguel had gotten, arm resting behind you on the sofa, until you heard your phone buzz.

Picking it up, your eyes widen when you see a text from a certain person.

“Whose that?” Asked Miguel.

“Just someone.” Miguel frowned at your vague answer, understanding why.

“Who is he?”

“Just a guy from when I was at a mommy and me group.”

“Are you seeing him?” You can hear the jealousy come out in his voice.

“Well, no. There were only two dates.”

“What does the text say?”

“He was just asking how Mateo’s first day was.” You said, “and asking for a third date.” You quickly added, which widened Miguel’s eyes as he turned to look at you, slightly upset.

“Well, you should tell him you’re not single anymore.”

“Miguel…” your tone turns serious with his response.

“It’s eventually going to happen, amor. So why string this man along when he can’t have you?” You roll your eyes at him. You decide to ignore the texts until you know what to say.

Thankfully the doorbell rang, indicating the pizza was here. Miguel got up from the sofa and opened the door. Grabbing the pizza and thanking the delivery man before closing the door.

Miguel brings it to the kitchen as you follow, grabbing two plates and then a plastic one for Mateo. After getting slices onto the plates, you go back to the living room. You hand Mateo his plate, which he cheers and says thank you in excitement before chomping down.

“I forgot your earth has the best pizza,” Miguel said as he took a bite.

“It really does. You remember that mission we went on that had that awful pizza with lobster and strawberries as toppings?” You cringe at the memory of you and Miguel stopping to grab food after fighting an anomaly and being horrified by what the locals called a delicacy.

“I do remember that. I’ve never tasted more disgusting food in my life.” He cringes at the memory alongside you. “Do you ever think about HQ?” He glanced over at you.

“Yeah, I do. I miss it a lot, actually. Seeing everyone and going on missions. Everyone came to me begging me to report their mission to you if it went bad.” You laugh at the last part.

“Everyone still misses you. A lot has changed since you were last there. There are more spider recruits, so the halls are always busy. Peter B remarried MJ, and they have a baby now. Jess and her husband are expecting one too. Some new teenage spiders annoy the hell out of me daily. Specifically, a guy named Hobie. He never listens and loves to get on my nerves.” Miguel’s fangs come out, annoyed by the thought of the rebellious spiders. Thankfully Mateo was facing away from him to not see the fangs.

“It would be nice to see everyone again. And to meet new faces.” You smile at Miguel’s reaction.

“Come with me tomorrow. After dropping Mateo off at school.” He looks at you, waiting for a response.

“I would love that, actually.” You say, which brings a huge smile to Miguel’s face.

“Sounds like a date.”

“It’s not.”

“I’m only kidding.” He holds his hands up in defense.

After finishing the pizza and watching more cartoons, you realize it’s way past Mateo’s bedtime. Looking over at your son, you see him dozed off on the floor. You go to pick him up, but Miguel places his hand on your arm as he picks up Mateo easily.

You both walk to his room as Miguel tucks him into bed as Mateo already is wearing his PJs.

“Buenas noches mi hijo.” Miguel whispered to Mateo before placing a kiss on his head. After he stands up, you brush some of Mateo’s hair out of his face as you kiss his forehead.

“Sweet dreams.” You say before getting up and turning off the light before closing his door.

After Miguel finishes cleaning the dishes, he walks into your bedroom, where he is handed a pillow and blanket.

“What is this for?” His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he looked back at you.

“For you.” You say.

“Y/n, don’t make me sleep on the couch. I would be much more comfortable sleeping in here with you.” Miguel pouts as he sets it on your desk.

“Miguel. We are not together.” You remind him.

“But we will be. So why not start slowly by letting me sleep with you. Plus, I’ll hurt my neck by sleeping on the sofa.” You pondered his words. He was right. He was too big to sleep comfortably on the couch. A sigh escaped your lips.

“Ok, fine. You can sleep with me. But only sleeping! Any funny business, and you’re heading straight to the living room.”

After getting ready for bed, you slip underneath the covers. You watch as Miguel takes off his shirt showing his chiseled body. You hide your face in your pillow so he wouldn’t see your red face.

You feel the bed dip as Miguel gets under the covers lying beside you. The lights were off, only the moonlight lighting up the room. Your gaze meets his. You start to fall into a trance as the moonlight reflects perfectly off of him, staring straight into his mix of brown and red eyes.

You didn’t realize he had wrapped his arm around your waist, bringing you closer. Your bodies now only centimeters apart. He cupped your cheek with his other hand as he leaned down before capturing your lips with his.

You missed feeling his lips on yours. The kiss lasts a few more seconds before your lips sadly part. Moving your gaze from his lips to his eyes, you see them cloud into a lustful gaze.

You are suddenly brought back to reality as you lightly glare at him.

“Go to the couch. Now.”

New Me In Another World

TW: sexual assault, harassment, stalking, death, choking (very light)

————————————————————————

"Y/n, can you grab the order for table four?" "Yeah, just give me a minute," I hum to myself as I clean up the table in front of me. I've been working as a waitress for a year. I've only just gotten used to it since my accident. Brushing off those thoughts, I drop off the dishes proceeding to table four. "Hi, my name is Y/n, what can I get started for you?" "Let me get...hmm, you...that skirt looks very sexy on you, miss." He touched my thighs. I look at his hand, pushing him away. "Please refrain from touching me, sir, or I will have you escorted out!" He looked at me with a dark smile. "Really? I'd like to see you try," the man says in a dark tone while he grabs me. "Sir, please let go of me!" I shout loudly, many nearby customers turn and look. "

Hey, man, let her go now," my coworker walks over prying his hands off of me. "We're going to ask you to leave now, or we will call the police," my coworker says. The man groans before walking out. "Thanks, Adam, I think I'll be leaving my shift early after that." "No problem, just talk to Jess in the back." Another hour goes by. After telling my supervisor what happened, she lets me go home early. "Thanks again, Jess, I'll rest well," I say my goodbyes before walking out of the restaurant. While walking down the streets towards my apartment, I feel someone watching me. I don't dare turn and look, so I pick up the pace. Before reaching home, I pass an alley nearby, seeing a cute black kitten. "Hi, kitty!" I walk towards the cat. "You're so cute!" I squeal at the cat as it purrs at me. "Do you have a name or a home, little kitty?" I say as I pick the cat up, taking a closer look at his collar. "Ken... What an odd name... still cute!" The cat gives a little glare. It soon runs away as it starts pouring rain. I turn to walk out of the alley and see a man standing before me with a hood. "How dare you kick me out of my favorite restaurant and refuse to let me touch you." He grabs me by my throat before I could scream. I kick and try punching at him. "Stop struggling. You're a woman; you could never outpower a man," he whispers in my ear while he pushes me against the wall. "Useless bitch, I'll make you have an endless death," he says loudly. Soon, I saw a glare of something sharp in the man's hand. He brought it down towards my stomach, stabbing me. I felt it every time, each one was at a different pace and a different force. A few seconds later, a tear fell down my eye and I looked down the alleyway, hoping someone could save me. Yet, the only thing I saw was that cat looking right at me. My eyes started to get heavy as they soon closed. "So that's it... a short-lived life as a waiter who failed to follow her dreams."

“Hey! Get up!” A loud voice shouted at me. My heavy eyelids slowly opened, I rubbed my face and yawned before realizing where I am. “Are you ignoring me?” The girl in front of me says. “Wow! You're cute, miss,” I say, complimenting her. She has long black hair, boots, and a huge scythe in her hand. She also has a collar on with a black robe covering her entire body. “Thanks, cutie... wait... did you say miss?” I nodded with a simple smile. “Just so you know, I am a sir,” he said with a frown. “No matter, waste. I am Kenichi. I am Master Death's cat and servant!” I looked at him confused. How can a cat help a god of death?

“My job is to help people pass on to the next life, and unfortunately, you have died early,” I looked at Kenichi, saddened a little. Why me? “But! I have an opportunity for you!” Kenichi smiled as he walked around me. Then he snapped his fingers, and I was sitting in a chair with a large whiteboard in front of me. On the whiteboard was a huge map and other information. “What's this opportunity?” I questioned. “I'm happy you asked. Well, Master Death has a soft spot for young adults who die early, so he gives them all the opportunity to reincarnate into a new world!” Kenichi looked at me with a happy face. “I also have a few rules; this only applies though if you say yes. So, do you want another chance at life, or do you want to go to heaven where they decide your fate?” I pondered my options. How bad could this other world be? “I accept your offer, Kenichi!” His ears and tail moved, showing signs of excitement. “Great. Back to the rules. You must not die. After you die here, it is out of our control where you go, so say it's neither hell nor heaven. Oh, and you can't tell anyone you've been reincarnated!” I nodded at him in agreement. “My final question before I send you off is, is there anything you would like to bring besides your memories?”

Hmm... what should I bring?

————————————————————————-

Please I really appreciate feedback!! I tried my best to make it interesting but also more realistic! I also would really love to hear all your ideas!

Please, tell me your vision of Clones daemons

Ok, so I've made a list of various clones and the daemon/familiar I've given them. Note, I assigned them based on the general vibe, and characteristics of each trooper, and what knowledge I have of various animals, their general vibe, and a few cultural associations, rather than what animals are associated with what in Dark Materials universe.

Rather than the clones all having daemons from one specific group of animals, such as canines, they all have animals from across the animal kingdom, as each clone IS a unique individual. I wanted that expressed through their animal daemon/familiars.

List and my thoughts for such choices below the cut!

So, lets get underway! This is gonna be LONG!

The 501st

Rex: A Golden Eagle

Eagles have A LOT of symbolism in various cultures across the globe! Rex has been bestowed the Mandalorian mark of Jaig Eyes, a symbol of the Mandalorian Jai'Galaar, the Shriek Hawk. A native bird of Mandalore that I imagine has similarities with our own eagles. When I think of Rex's Jaig eyes, I liken them to the eagle feathers in the beautiful war bonnets of many of the different indigenous peoples of the North American plains. A reverent symbol of bravery, honor and skill that can only be earned. Therefore Rex gets the eagle. I specifically chose the Golden Eagle due to the crown of golden feathers on its head, referencing Rex's blonde hair, his "crown of gold"

The Domino Twins, Fives and Echo: Lion and Cougar respectively.

For Fives, he's brave, he's charismatic, a leader. The lion is a typical symbol of such. Clones are also meant to work TOGETHER, and of course lions work together, and lion brothers especially. Lions are also pretty powerful and tough, and Fives is an ARC trooper! He's tough, he's skilled, so he gets something equally so.

As for Echo, he gets a feline like Fives, because they ARE a package deal after all. However, Echo is still significantly different from Fives, so a different cat. When I think of Echo, I think of how ADAPTABLE he has become. A far cry from the cadet "who couldn't adapt". Cougars, aka Mountain Lions, or Pumas, are pretty adaptable. Not specialists, which is a good thing in the wild. They have a huge range all over North and South America, from mountains, to open plains, hot deserts to lush forests and swamplands. The cougar has adapted to a wide range of ecosystems! Also....they can be very chatty, making all kinds of squeaks, purrs, chirps, hisses, screams, and growls. And well, Echo was pretty chatty, repeating orders and such.

Jesse: Tuatara

Do NOT mistake the cute little guy for a lizard! Tuataras are a native reptile of Aoteroa/New Zealand, and only found there. They are the last of their kind, the order Rhyncocephalians, NOT lizards despite the appearence. They have a kind of "third eye" that's sensitive to light. Now I wanted at least one of the clones to have a NZ native animal, and Jesse gives me the vibe that he'd have a reptile for a pet if he could. So I gave him this unique reptile. Also, like the Tuatara, Jesse is kind of the "last of his kind" in regards to being Rex's last named member of the 501st (Echo having joined TBB, and Kix gones missing)

Kix: Caracal

Ok to be honest, I'm not ENTIRELY sure why I chose this kitty for Kix, but something about it said "Kix" to me. The long tufts on the ears give it a sort of elegance, and of course we like to think Kix has a small sense of vanity about him, what with those intricately shaved lightning bolts in his hair, and admiring himself in the mirror.

Hardcase: Moluccan Cockatoo.

Honestly, if any animal could be the manifestation of ADHD, it's gotta be a cockatoo! LOUD, energetic, fun loving, but also SMART and clever, it just screams Hardcase to me. He likes to have fun, can't sit still, but he's also a highly competent soldier, social, and probably destructive if he gets too bored. A parrot of some sort fits him nicely I think.

Tup: Sea Otter

Of course Tup gets something cute! However, despite their cuteness, Sea Otters ARE still predators, and WILL bite if you harass them! They also meticulously care for their fur, and Tup probably has his own hair care routine due to having long hair. Otters are also clever little beasts, and it was TUP'S quick and clever thinking that allowed them to take down Krell! Tup was vital both for taking Krell down, and setting Fives on the path to discovering the chips, and Rex learning of them, etc etc. A huge domino effect that led to end of the Empire really. And sea otters are VITAL keystone species in their ecosystems of kelp forests. A health population of sea otters equals a healthy kelp forest environment and all the other animals who live there.

Dogma: Budgett's Frog

Heheheh If you know you know! (*coughFrogmacough*) But honestly, I'mma just link to the post that inspired the idea, because I can't associate him with anything else now.

The Bad Batch

Hunter: Ocelot

Hunter's mutations allow him to essentially be a stealthy well...hunter. And of course, what animal better showcase a "stealthy predator" than a cat? However unlike the other clones who have kitty daemons/familiars, Hunter's is much smaller, but no less fierce and skilled. I also like the idea that the ocelot's markings, kinda resembling Hunter's tattoo. Hunter also has a "smokier" husky voice compared to his brothers, and ocelots....well.... they make some interesting noises.

Crosshair: Black Mamba

I can't imagine Crosshair with anything but a snake! I know we all like to joke about him being a grumpy cat, but from the moment I first saw this character, I thought "deadly snake". Even the way DBB plays the character, and his voice, "very calculated and deliberate" feels very snake-like to me. He doesn't say much, is the quietest of the bunch, and snakes are often pretty quiet. The Black Mamba in particular also has an infamous deadly reputation, that I feel fits Crosshair pretty well.

Wrecker: Grizzly Bear

Naturally, Wrecker gets an animal often associated with strength and power, but at the same time soft and warm (Mama Bear, Teddy Bears) So a bear fits him perfectly I think. Bears are big, strong, tough, dangerous, but also protective (do NOT get between a bear and her cubs, it'll be the last thing you ever do) and we've seen how fiercely protective, but loving Wrecker is towards the people he cares about, especially Omega. Also, Wrecker clearly likes to fish, and eat good food, and of course bears love to fish in rivers and will eat just about anything. They'll hunt, scavenge, or forage for food. Bears are also smarter than some people think too, and Wrecker is smarter than a lot of folks make him out to be. (man built a mobile cannon out of scrap and within minutes!)

Tech: Crow

Crows. Are. Fucking. SCARY SMART! Like, if any animal evolves sapience like us next, I'd believe it's gonna be crows! Tech is curious, highly intelligent and skilled, a problem solver. Just like crows. THese birds use tools, learn fast, are inquisitive, and CHATTY! (I've got a small family of crows living the area I do, and I hear them a lot) They are also astounding mimics, and Tech records everything. Yet crows are also fiercely loyal to their flock (or "murder" if you will) you mess with one, you mess with them ALL! Tech is quite similar. He may not be confrontational, but you threaten his family, and he WILL retaliate and remember!

Omega: Red Panda

Now, Omega's daemon/familiar would still be unsettled, but once it does I imagine it becomes a red panda. Of course she'd have something cute. She just really gives me red panda vibes to be honest.

Commanders

Cody: Siberian Tiger

The Marshall Commander Cody gets the largest cat, the Siberian Tiger. With similar traits and associations as the lion (Fives), but still vastly distinct. Strong, charismatic, beautiful. A tiger fits Cody well in my opinion, and I can easily imagine the facial stripes mimicking his scar's pattern.

Wolffe and Fox: Wolf and Red Fox respectively

Yep, what it says on the tin. Would you expect anything less? But in all seriousness, their namesakes DO suit them quite well. Wolffe is loyal to his brothers, his "pack" to a fault. Wolves have strong ties to their packs, their family units, often associated with such.

Fox of course, lives and works on Coruscant, the big city. Foxes are adaptable, and can easily adapt to urban living if need be, better than other wild canine species. They've also got a bad reputation, and lots of people hate them. Fox gets a lot of hate in the fandom (especially outside of tumblr), but it's greatly exaggerated, and he's just as much a victim as Fives.

Bly: Coyote

Ok to be honest, I'm not entirely sure why I chose a coyote. It just....felt right? Maybe to tie him in with Wolffe and Fox.

Other Clones

Howzer: Elk

Howzer was....difficult to be honest. I had enough carnivorous daemons for the clones, I NEEDED an herbivore for SOMEONE. I went with an elk, or deer for Howzer. These animals are often associated with pride, beauty, and elegance. Howzer is proud of being a clone, a soldier, a good man who protects others. He's also of course quite handsome lets be honest. Now, elk are NOT to be underestimated. They are bigger than you think (but not MOOSE big), and deadlier than you think too. Howzer may be a good, caring man, but he WILL FIGHT fiercely and is deadly in his own right.

Mayday: Snow Leopard

Mayday's gotta have something adapted to the cold, mountainous landscape we met him on. A snow leopard just...fits his whole vibe honestly. A stealthy, deadly hunter perfectly adapted to its domain; Mayday has had to adapt to the harsh conditions of the planet he was stuck on. However there was also a sort of charm to Mayday, we were instantly drawn to him, and snow leopards certainly have an alluring charm too.

Gregor: Hyena

Gregor has the hyena! Not just for his laugh, but Gregor is a COMMANDO clone. He's tough as hell, and survived stuff he shouldn't have and keeps fighting! Hyena's are tough, powerful, tenacious animals. Easily able to go toe-to-toe with other large predators like lions. However they're also pretty smart too, and Gregor is also pretty clever. Hyenas are also social, capable hunters. Gregor values his brothers, and enjoys a good Joopa hunt!

Ok....*sigh* That....that was really long.... But that is basically what I've got!

Anakin leaves the Jedi Temple with relief. He's been waiting forever for the meeting to end. But now he can fulfill your request. And you've asked him to go to an address you've sent him. A person in the apartment is to fill him in. He's intrigued by this request. He hopes it's nothing serious.

The address turns out to be an apartment on a luxurious street. He gets inside the building without a problem and hurries through the corridor. He's almost at the proper door when he sees two familiar faces that cause him to stop dead in his tracks with wide eyes – Lanash and you.

'Fancy meeting you here, General Skywalker,' your maid says with a teasing smile. He barely registers it, though, focused completely on your eyes shining with happiness.

'I could say the same,' he says and chuckles. 'That… is quite a surprise.'

'Good, that was the plan,' you laugh. You can't take your eyes from him either. Lanash rolls hers.

'How about we take it inside?' she suggests and ushers you two into a very grand suite. 'I'll be back later with something to eat for you two.'

The moment she closes the door, Anakin cups your face and kisses you like a starved man. You gasp and quickly respond with the same passion.

'I missed you,' he murmurs and joins your lips again. 'So much.'

'Me too,' you whisper and tangle your hands in his hair. He groans and pulls you closer to himself. Only after a few minutes you pull away for breath.

'You have no idea how happy I am that you're here,' he says, caressing your cheek, and you grin. 'But… why are you here?'

'Senator Berugha has stepped down from his position,' you explain, your good mood disappearing. Skywalker frowns.

'I heard some rumors but I thought they are just that,' he says. You shake your head and lead him to sit on the couch.

'Unfortunately, they're not,' you deny and look to the side, falling silent for a moment. 'His wife is ill. The doctors fear the worst.'

'I'm so sorry,' the Jedi says, stunned. You nod.

'He wants to be by her side until she gets better or… until the end,' you go on. 'He has resigned from his position officially. But my father hasn't accepted it yet.'

'Why not?' Anakin asks.

'Oh, you know,' you say with fake nonchalance. 'He has just so many documents to sign, it simply has to wait. And since he has a tremendous number of free days to take, he's on vacation now. But that means we don't have a representative in the Senate. We can't pick one until my father actually signs the note.'

'Why is he doing that?' Skywalker asks, confused.

'Because my father is an optimist. He believes Lady Berugha will get better. And her husband is the best senator we've had in many years. Picking another one will also take some time. And there's no guarantee he won't get quickly corrupted.'

'But now you have no one in the Senate, like you said.'

'That's why I'm here. According to our laws, until the senator returns from his vacation or a temporary one is appointed in his stead, a member of the royal family can take his place in the Senate, representing our planet and business there.'

Anakin stares at you, stunned. You beam at him.

'But… but you hate the Senate,' he reminds you. You sigh.

'Trust me, I'm not happy I'll have to deal with it,' you say and groan. 'I imagine a lot of headaches in my future. And yes, my family was surprised as well when I volunteered for it. Judging by my father's face when he was telling us about his idea, he was ready to beg me to agree to take on this role.'

'You volunteered?' Skywalker asks, his eyes wide. 'But why?'

You smile and cup his cheek. He leans into your touch.

'Because you're on Coruscant more often than on Luth,' you answer and he freezes. 'That's the real reason. I told my parents that I agree with father's opinion about Senator Berugha and I'll somehow manage to navigate the senators and the Chancellor, just so he could come back.'

'I love you,' Anakin says and leans in for another kiss. You giggle and quickly respond.

'Does that mean that I can come here anytime when I'm free and want to see you?' he asks, grinning.

'Well, unless I'm in the Senate,' you answer and think. 'But you are allowed to barge in and demand my presence, saying there's an emergency. I'll gladly be rescued from these meetings.'

He laughs and shakes his head. He pulls you in for another kiss.

'You have no idea how happy this makes me,' he says. You grin.

'Yeah?' you ask and he nods. 'I had some second thoughts on this. I mean, it's going to be harder to hide our relationship here. And… I wasn't sure if you'd like that I did that. Without consulting you first. But I just wanted to surprise you so much…'

'I love it,' he assures you and silences more of doubts with yet another kiss. When Lanash comes in half an hour later, she finds you cuddling on the couch. You move away at once, tense. She shakes her head.

'You're lucky I'm on your side,' she says. 'You don't hear anyone approaching you. I'm going to be your lookout along with C-3PO and R2-D2.'

'Artoo is on it, too?' you ask, surprised.

'Not yet, but while Threepio promised not to tell anyone, I'm sure he won't be able to be quiet to his best friend,' your maid explains, shrugging. 'But it's fine. He's been shipping you two as well.'

'Shipping…' you start, stunned.

'… us?' Anakin asks, equally stunned.

'If you ask me, I'm sure the Clones are shipping you, too,' Lanash says and winks at you. 'All right, enjoy your meal. I'll warn you if someone comes.'

She turns on her heel and walks away, humming. You and Skywalker look at each other and burst out laughing.

'Sometimes I wonder if she's truly your maid,' he says, shaking your head. 'She's terribly cheeky.'

'Oh, she's a wonderful maid, I wouldn't trade her for a world. 'But yes, she is. That's why we're so close. We've been together since we were kids.'

'She was already your maid, then?' he asks, frowning. You shake your head.

'Her mother was my governess,' you explain. 'Lanash was coming with her, as her father is dead and… neither grandparent approved of that marriage. She was too little to stay at home alone and my parents had no issue with her studying with me.'

'Your parents are really amazing people,' he says quietly. You smile and squeeze his hand.

'Your mother is wonderful as well,' you say and hesitate. 'I was thinking… If you ever want her to come here and visit… just let me know. I'll arrange it.'

In response, Anakin takes your lips with his. You melt into the kiss.

'Mistress Padmé!' C-3PO's voice startles you both. 'What a nice surprise!'

You and Skywalker quickly move to the opposite sides of the couch. You try to make yourself look presentable, as you hear Amidala's voice getting closer.

The door opens slowly to reveal C-3PO. Seeing you two are not going to compromise yourself, he opens it wider and allows smiling senator from Naboo to come in. Her face quickly turns to the look of surprise once she notices who's with you.

'Anakin- I mean, General Skywalker, I didn't expect to meet you here,' she says and forces a smile again. It puzzles you but you smile yourself.

'Looks like news travel fast,' you chuckle. 'I see you also heard about my arrival. And in good moment. Just in time for dinner. Threepio, bring a plate for the Senator as well.'

'Yes, the Senate is already gossiping about it,' your friend says and slowly joins you. 'I came as soon as I heard it. How… did you find out about it, General?'

'I had some business in the area, Senator,' Anakin lies. 'I heard someone talking about arrival of a princess of Luth. I got the details and here I am.'

'We're all friends here, so why are you so formal with each other?' you ask, blinking. Your friends look at each other and then attempt to relax. But fail. It's odd. You will have to dig details about it from Skywalker. Padmé will insist everything is fine.

'So, tell me,' you say, turning to Amidala. 'What can I expect when I enter the Senate tomorrow?'

'Lots of arguing,' your friend sighs. 'The new bill is causing quite an uproar.'

The more she talks, the more your face falls. But whenever you're very grim, you glance at the Jedi. Seeing his discreet smile, raises your spirits at once. Yes. It was a good call to come here. If only to see that smile.

*

Anakin is still surprised how easily he can get to your suite. No one pays him any attention. And there aren't any rumors. And he's pretty sure he's coming here way too often. For other people's liking. In his opinion not often enough.

'Why, hello there, General Skywalker,' Lanash says after she opens the for him. 'Princess [Y/N] is very grateful you've agreed to come and meet her.'

'I'm happy to assist the Princess with any problem she may have,' the Jedi says seriously. Your maid invites him in and closes the door behind him. She points him to your office.

'I'll bring you two some refreshments later,' she promises and disappears. He quickly hurries to your room. He finds you sitting behind a desk, writing something furiously. He smirks and sneaks out behind you. He feels you jumping when he starts giving you a massage.

'So, for whom is this angry message?' he asks. You smile hearing his voice.

'Anakin,' you say and turn your head to look at him. 'You scared me.'

'You don't mind,' he says cheekily. You laugh.

'Not at all,' you admit, shaking your head, and sigh. 'And answering your question, Chancellor Palpatine is going to receive this.'

He tenses. Chancellor is his friends and your clear resentment for him makes him feel uneasy. He'd love for both of you two get along.

'Let's not talk about it,' you say, knowing it makes him feel uncomfortable.

'No, tell me,' he insists. 'Maybe it's something I can help you with.'

'I don't think so, but thank you,' you say and sigh again. 'He keeps treating me so condescendingly. I can see it in his smile and eyes. He doesn't take me seriously. Every solution to some problem I have, he shuts it down without even considering it. I don't know if it's because I'm a princess or… I don't know. I'm just so tired.'

'Well, I have an idea what can help you take your mind off it and relax,' Skywalker says after a moment. He lets go of your shoulders and turns your chair so you'd face him. You can't even open your mouth to ask a question when his lips are on yours.

'Is it working?' he asks after a moment.

'Yes, so don't stop,' you answer. He chuckles and kisses you again, this time longer. At some point you stand up and he starts walking backward. But before his back can hit the wall, he turns, so you it's your back against the wall instead.

'Tell me what you want,' he whispers.

'I want your lips on my neck,' you murmur. 'And what do you want?'

'Your hands in my hair,' he answers and starts kissing your neck. You sigh and oblige to his request. He groans and becomes rougher.

'Anakin… ah! Oh…' you gasp, your eyes wide. You tug on his hair and his hips buckle against yours.

'I missed you,' he murmurs, gently caressing your hips. 'So much. Every minute without you is torture. I… I need-'

He is interrupted by his communicator going off. You both freeze. He sighs and very reluctantly lets you go. He walks away to answer the call. You hear Obi-Wan's voice.

A moment later Skywalker returns. He looks at you with anguish. Your shoulders slump.

'I have a mission,' he declares. You smile sadly at him and nod. Just at that moment Lanash peeks in. She freezes seeing your expressions.

'I was expecting more kissing, you know,' she says but frowns when none of you responds. 'What happened?'

'I have new orders,' Anakin answers. 'I'm afraid I won't be able to drink that refreshment.'

'Don't worry, it won't go to waste,' she informs him and looks at him with worry. 'Be careful out there, General.'

'I will,' he promises and glances at you. 'And you look after her.'

'Oh, no doubt about that,' she swears. 'I'll leave you alone.'

She walks out of the room. Skywalker turns to you, looking at you with despair. You put your arms around him and you hug.

'Always remember, my heart holds you when my arms cannot,' you say softly. He smiles and presses a kiss to your temple.

'I love you,' he says. 'I'll carry you with my heart wherever I go.'

You smile and this time you're the one to initiate the kiss. You pull away reluctantly.

'Please, be careful,' you beg. 'I can't live without you.'

'I promise I will,' he swears and kisses your knuckles. 'I'll call tonight.'

You nod. He lets you go and turns to leave.

'Anakin!' you call and he looks over his shoulder at you. 'I love you, too. May the Force be with you.'

He smiles at you and nods. A moment later he's gone. When C-3PO comes a moment later with your drink, he finds you sitting by your desk, your face in your hands.

Not long later you're standing on your balcony. You look at the sky and thanks to that you see the moment Skywalker's cruiser goes up. You look at it, sending a prayer to your gods.

On the cruiser, Anakin is standing by a window. He's checked from which side the part of city you're in and tries to find your apartment. He thinks he sees a lonely figure on the balcony. He smiles. His heart tells you that it is you.

'May the Force be with you,' he whispers.

'Did you say something, Master?' Ahsoka asks, walking to him. He shakes his head and walks away from the window.

'Nothing, Snips,' he denies. 'Nothing at all.'

Weeks pass before he returns. He's anxious when they land. They have to make sure everything is fine, give orders about the ship, then go to the Temple, give report to the Council… it will be ages before he's going to see you.

But to his surprise, when he gets off the ship, there you are, standing together with Padmé, Obi-Wan and Master Yoda. You're barely able to stop the grin and the look of love. And he barely resists running to you and taking you in his arms.

'That's quite a welcome comity,' Ahsoka jokes.

'Well, it was quite impressive what you pulled off,' Kenobi says with a smile.

'Are you all right?' Amidala asks, worried.

'There were serious casualties,' Anakin reports grimly. 'But we're not worse for the wear.'

'Impressed with how you dealt with the crisis, the Council is,' Yoda surprises him. 'Proud you can be, Skywalker.'

'Thank you, Master Yoda,' your beloved says, touched. You beam at him, happy he gets the recognition he deserves.

'Oh, you should have seen him out there!' Tano says, excited. 'I've never seen him fight like that. And the way he gave orders…'

She gives you a full reconstruction of the events. Her master is actually embarrassed. He doesn't feel like he did something amazing. Nor something more than usual. But maybe he didn't just realize that. He remembers, though, what was on his mind during that battle. That he must give his best and return to Coruscant. To you.

He looks at you and sees your eyes are already on him. You share a secret smile.

'Anakin, give orders of the repairs,' Obi-Wan says, breaking the spell. 'Then we will drive to the Temple.'

'With us to come, would you like?' Yoda asks you and Padmé, as Skywalker walks to give orders. He strains to hear the answers.

'Yes, I'd like to hear more about the battle,' the Senator answers.

'I'm afraid I have a meeting soon,' you respond to your beloved's dismay. 'I just wanted to welcome our heroes home. Anakin, do come by when you have the time. Maybe I'll get to hear your perspective on the matter. You've been unusually quiet.'

'I just don't think there's anything to brag about,' he says, happy with your suggestion, turning to face you. You smirk.

'Liar,' you say and look at your companions to say your goodbye. Skywalker walks away with a spring in his step, glad he gets to see you later, privately.

He gets there in the end later than he wanted. He knocks on the door and C-3PO lets him in. He finds you in your bedroom, wearing your nightgown already. You're sitting on your bed and reading a book.

'Forgive me, my star,' he says and falls on his knees before you. He presses his head to your stomach and sighs with content. You caress his hair gently.

'It's all right,' you assure him. 'Did the meeting with Council dragged out?'

'No,' he answers after a moment, a bit tense. You frown.

'What happened?' you ask but he doesn't respond. 'Anakin, tell me. Please. You're worrying me.'

'I was with Padmé,' he finally admits reluctantly. Your hand freezes.

'Oh,' it's all you manage to say. 'Well, she did wait for you after the meeting of the Council. But why didn't you-'

He pulls away suddenly, causing you to cut yourself off. He looks at you with guilt. Your heart starts beating faster a beat.

'When we… weren't talking to each other,' he starts slowly, 'there was this time where Padmé was in danger. I was rescuing her. We got into a situation and we… we thought we're not going to make it. She… confessed she has feelings for me… and then we kissed.'

'Oh,' you say again. You look away, not sure what to feel. You're jealous. But you weren't together then. You have no right to be.

'After it was over and the emotions cooled down, I talked with her,' he continues. 'I told her that we can't be together. Jedi Code, blah blah blah… That this kiss was a spur of the moment. And that I… I'm not sure about my feelings for her. That I thought there's something but I changed since that time. She accepted it, of course, but… it's been awkward ever since between us two.'

'Like that time when she showed up when I arrived here,' you remember. He nods.

'She… tried to fix things today,' he explains. 'I hated things being like they were, so I agreed for a talk and a walk. Things are better now, but… I think she still has feelings for me. And hopes I can have for her. If she tries to persuade me again, I'll be clear on my feelings. For her! Not you. She can't know, I know. I just-'

You silence him with a kiss. He sighs and puts his hands on your waist. Just like that his worries melt away. You're truly magical.

'I trust you,' you say after pulling away. 'Always remember that.'

He smiles at you. You sigh and caress his hair again.

'You're taking it much better than I would,' he confesses. 'If I knew someone wants you, I… I wanted to kill that prince for trying to have you. The way he spoke that day… I almost…'

You cup his face. You peck his nose, surprising him.

'I am jealous,' you admit. 'I want to march to Padmé and inform her you're taken. And… maybe… hit her… with something heavy… But that's wrong. Like killing. So, I focus on something else. Like the knowledge you're mine and she can't take you away from me. And no one can take me from you.'

He smiles and stands up, pulling you up with him. He pulls you close and kisses you deep. You sigh and respond.

'Stay with me tonight?' you ask and become nervous. 'No, forget I said that. I didn't mean-'

'Shh…' he silences you with a finger on your lips and chuckles. 'I know. It's too soon. But I want to hold you in my arms all night.'

You smile at him. He goes to take a shower. He's very surprised to find his sleeping robes waiting for him. Turns out, R2-D2, now aware of your relationship, figured out his master is going to stay the night and sneaked into the Temple, gathers some of Anakin's things and passed them to C-3PO. You're blushing terribly when explaining that to him.

'Are we really that obvious?' he asks, shaking his head.

'Not too terribly, otherwise Astrariel would be teasing me about it,' you sigh. 'And I'm pretty sure other Jedi would have something to say.'

'Yeah, that's true,' he murmurs and climbs next to you under the covers. He pulls you to himself. In a moment you feel safe. You close your eyes and sigh, putting your hands on his chest.

'Sleep, my star,' he says, kissing the top of your head. 'I'll be here when you wake up.'

'I'm really happy with that,' you whisper and kiss his chest. 'Goodnight, my love.'

'Goodnight,' he says, 'my universe…'

*

For the next months, Anakin comes off and back to Coruscant. The returns are always welcomed more, because he can rush to your apartment and have you in his arms again. You love those moments as well, immediately smiling when he walks in. Then, you spend every moment you can together. But all that's good must end eventually.

One day Anakin finds you on the balcony. You're sitting by a small table, drinking tea and staring at the setting sun over the city. Something's troubling you, he can sense it.

'My star?' he asks. You jerk, startled. You look at him and smile.

'Anakin,' you say and extend your hand to him. 'Come.'

He takes your hand and allows you to pull him to you. He sits on a chair opposite to you. He drinks your figure with his eyes. As usual, you look lavishing in your dress, and your posture, so elegant and refined, invites him to kiss you senseless. But the look on your face stops him.

'I have good news and bad news,' you say after a moment of silence.

'I want to hear-' he starts but you put a finger on his lips. He frowns.

'You don't get to choose,' you inform him. 'There's an order, otherwise it won't make sense. So, the good news first. Senator Benthura's wife is getting better. The doctors are sure she's going to make a full recovery.'

'That's great!' Skywalker says, beaming, but then his face falls. 'But that means…'

'That's the bad news,' you say, giving him a sad look. 'He's coming back within a week. I may stay a few days longer to bring him up to speed but after that… I must return to Luth.'

Your beloved looks at you with anguish. He's got used to this. Seeing you when he's here. It's not that often with the Clone Wars demanding his presence, but it was still more often than when you are on a planet he visits once in a while.

'I know I can't keep you here,' he says. 'But it breaks my heart.'

'I feel the same,' you say, reaching for his hand with a pained expression. 'I'm so relieved Hestia is going to be all right, I really am. But it's going to be a torture to seeing you less often. But we… I'm sure we can think of something. And we're going to call each other every night, like we already do when you're away.'

He nods but doesn't look convinced. It hurts you to see him like that. You stand up and sit on his lap. He looks at you with surprise. You lean down and cup his face. You join your lips and he melts into it gladly. You know you're playing a dangerous game. But every kiss with him is worth every consequence.

A few days later it's time for you to leave. You pulled it off for as long as you could, waiting for Anakin to come back from another mission. You spend the afternoon with him, trying not to think about tomorrow.

'Come to my apartments tonight,' you whisper when you're saying goodbye for the evening. He looks at you with surprise but agrees. He's strangely nervous when he knocks on your door a few hours later. Lanash lets him in and he enters your living room.

'You made it,' you say with a smile. He doesn't answer. He stares at your nightgown that is anything but modest. He sees your curves perfectly. He loves it. But he wants to so much to tear it off you.

'Lanash has prepared you a bath,' you say. He goes to the bathroom, his thoughts running. When he leaves the bathtub, you're not where he left you.

'[Y/N]?' he calls.

'In here,' he hears your voice from the bedroom. He gulps and enters it. He stands frozen. The room is lit with candles and you're standing by the window. You turn your head and he can't look away from your eyes.

'I'm going home tomorrow,' you say, slowly walking to him. 'I don't know when we're going to see each other again. I want to become one with you before that happens.'

'[Y/N]…' he says, stunned. 'I don't… We don't have to…'

'Do you want this?' you ask, stopping in front of him. He stares into your eyes, his heart beating like crazy. He gulps.

'Yes,' he whispers. 'I want it so much. But I can't… It's a serious decision and you-'

'I love you,' you interrupt him. 'With my whole body. I want to show you how much. I want to be fully yours and you to be fully mine. I'm ready. I want this. I want us to take this next step. But only if you want the same.'

He answers you by pulling you to himself by your hips harshly and pressing his lips to yours hard. You sigh and respond, putting your hands around his neck. The kiss is hungry, needy, passionate. He knows you two won't be able to stop now.

'Lanash-' he stars.

'Won't come until I call her,' you interrupt him. 'And she is not to let anyone in under any circumstances. Relax. Take me and let me take you.'

'I'm yours,' he whispers, staring at you, transfixed. You take his hand and start walking backwards. You stop when you hit the bed. You let go of Anakin and take off his sleeping robes. Then, you guide his hands to your nightgown. He slowly takes it off and stares at your naked body while you admire his.

'You're beautiful,' he whispers in awe. You chuckle, embarrassed, and touch his chest.

'And you're mesmerizing,' you say and kiss his jaw. 'Come on…'

You climb on the bed and lay down. Slowly, he climbs on top of you. You stare at each other for a moment, nervous and excited. Then, he starts kissing and caressing your body. You gasp and tangle your hands in his hair. You tug and he groans. He goes lower and starts sucking on your nipple. You moan.

'Anakin…' you whisper and start touching his body. You touch each other's body and exchange kisses. At one point he goes down and starts pleasuring your womanhood with his fingers and mouth, while you gently stroke his member. You're both moaning and panting.

Finally, he pulls away. He stares at you with eyes dark with lust. You give him the same look.

'Are you sure?' he asks. You spread your legs.

'Yes,' you declare. He slowly enters you, careful so not to hurt you. You whimper when he pierces your little barrier but after a moment you give him a green light. He starts moving in you, kissing you, gently touching your breasts.

'[Y/N]…' he groans. 'My [Y/N]…'

'Yours…' you pant. 'Only yours. Forever. Please. More.'

He goes faster and harder, but still minding your limits. But the moans you make for him show him you love this. It spurs him on. He wants to please you. To give you pleasure. The same amount you're giving him and you're giving him a lot.

'Are you close?' he asks some time later, his voice strained.

'Yes… you?' you ask. He nods and kisses you hard. He rubs your rosebud and you cry out. You press him closer to you. He groans and goes faster.

'Anakin!' you shout when your reach your peak, your body shaking. Feeling you clenching around him causes him to finish as well.

'[Y/N]!' he cries out, spilling inside you. When he's done, he falls on you, both of you breathing heavily.

'So worth… breaking… the Code,' he pants a moment later. You laugh. He lifts his head and sees your beautiful smile and eyes shining. He falls in love with you all over again.

'Let's just hope no one finds out anyway,' you say.

'Yeah, better not,' he agrees and gently pulls out of you. You shiver, feeling empty and incomplete. Judging by his grimace, he feels the same. He sighs heavily and collapses next to you.

'I'm not sure that was a good idea,' he says, opening his arms for you. You immediately turn and snuggle into him.

'How so?' you ask, worried. He looks at you with love.

'Now I'll just miss you more,' he explains. You smack him on the chest for scaring you like that. He laughs and kisses the top of your head.

'It was amazing,' he says. 'Every second of it. Thank you.'

'I agree,' you whisper and look up at him. 'And thank you as well.'

He can't resist. He leans down and kisses you. You sigh and respond. A long moment passes before you pull away. You stifle back a yawn.

'Sleep,' he says. 'You must be tired after such day.'

'Just a moment longer,' you say, shaking your head. 'I want to have as much time with you as I can. Tomorrow, I leave and… who knows when we'll see each other in person again.'

'I'll do everything I can for it to be soon, my star,' he promises and squeezes your hand. 'I swear. But now you must rest.'

You want to protest more. But in the end, the sleep takes you and your breathing evens out. Anakin stares at you for a moment longer with a soft smile, before he's asleep as well.

Next day, you're saying your goodbyes. You hug Ahsoka and Padmé for a long time, a few Clones as well. Obi-Wan and Jar Jar get a hug. But the last one is the most painful.

'Call me as soon as you land,' Skywalker murmurs into your ear, not wanting to let go of you.

'I will,' you promise and reluctantly pull away. You share one last sad smile and you turn to leave. You bow your head respectfully to Masters Yoda and Windu, who have come to see you off as well. They nod back and you pray they don't feel what you share with your beloved.

'Your Highness,' your personal guard, Clint Hawk, calls. You follow C-3PO and Lanash onto your ship. Onboard, you turn your head and meet Anakin's eyes. You see an anguish in them and you're sure he can see it in yours as well. From the window, you watch him until he's just a little dot. And just like that you're separated again.

*

One day, Yoda and Mace Windu are strolling through the Temple, discussing their next move in the Clone Wars. Suddenly, they see someone hurrying their way. They're surprised to see it is the King of Luth. When he's closer, they're even more stunned to see his clothes are wrinkled and hair in disarray.

'Your Majesty, unexpected, your visit is,' the Grand Master say. 'But a welcome one. What here brings you, hm?'

'I'm afraid I once again must ask Jedi for help, Master Yoda,' Andrrei says, stopping.

'We promise to do everything we can,' Windu says. 'What ails you, our friend?'

'The Separatists… they have taken my daughter,' the King says, looking at them with despair. The Jedi give him a shocked look.

'In private discuss it, we will,' Yoda decides and the three men go to one of the rooms. They sit on cushions and Andrrei starts his story:

'A week or so ago, my daughters went for a ride and picnic. But the dusk came and they didn't return. I took some men and we followed their trail. We found the horses tied to a tree. Not far was a picnic blanket. There was a mess on it. Like… there was some kind of fight. We started an investigation at once. But no one saw anything and my daughters weren't back.'

'You said one of your daughters was taken,' Windu reminds him.

'That's because a few days later one of the guards have brought Astrariel to the palace,' the King explains. 'She was in disguise, dirty, scared and exhausted, but she was fine. The guard told us she arrived on a cruiser prom from Abelor. After she rested, she told us what happened.'

'Hm… not so long ago a battle not far from Abelor there was,' Yoda says. 'Continue, please.'

'My daughters have been trained in fight,' Andrrei continues. 'Astrariel told us they fought back when the men that came out of nowhere attacked them. But they were quickly overwhelmed and knocked out. They woke up in a cell on a ship. But they're not damsels in distress and the guards didn't consider them a threat. So, they managed to free themselves from the cell. Recognizing the ship from her studies, [Y/N] has managed to lead them to escape pods. The moment Astrariel got inside one, they were discovered. [Y/N] quickly ejected her sister, allowing her to escape. Last thing Astrariel saw, was her older sister engaging in a battle with droids to draw away the attention of the escape pod. The pod landed on Abelor. Astrariel managed to reach the nearest city, got some clothes as a disguise and bought herself a ticked to our planet.'

'And the rest we know,' Mace says. 'The only thing pointing at the Separatists are the droids?'

'Ah, no,' the King denies. 'On their way to the escape pods my daughters overheard the conversation between two droids. They were talking about a soon arrival of… Whorm Loathsom.'

'That is troubling,' Windu admits and thinks. 'Abelor… When were they there?'

'A few days ago,' Andrrei answers. 'We gathered out forces and set after them at once. But after they entered the active warzone… we couldn't follow. I didn't have enough men.'

'Help you, we will,' Yoda promises after a moment.

'If they travel as slowly as you say, they must have a reason for it,' Mace says.

'My guess is they hope someone will engage them and start a battle,' the King says. 'If my daughter was to die on that ship during the attack…'

'The consequences severe, would be,' Yoda agrees. 'Hm… maybe so. Everything you found out, send us. Decide what to do next, we will.'

'Thank you,' Andrrei says, relieved. He says his goodbyes and leaves. Soon after two Jedi receive all information they need and start their own investigation.

'If we are right… Skywalker is the closest to them right now,' Windu says.

'The princess' best hope he is,' Yoda says and calls Anakin. A moment later the Knight's hologram shows up in the room.

'A new mission for you we have,' the Grand Master says before the young Jedi can speak up. 'No need for you there, there is. Someone else your attention requires.'

'Master?' Skywalker asks, frowning.

'Princess [Y/N] of Luth is a hostage of Separatists,' Mace starts. 'We believe the ship she's on is nearby your location. We'll send you everything we know about the situation. Be careful. The ship is travelling suspiciously slowly. We don't know what their real goal is. It may be a trap.'

'Understood, Masters,' Anakin responds. 'I will bring the princess home safely.'

The Jedi send him every information he needs, telling him what they can. During their conversation, Skywalker gives the co-ordinates to Rex. Soon after the holograms disappear from the ship.

Ahsoka and the Clones that are present look with worry at their general. He has his fists and jaw clenched. Tano decides to take a step forward.

'Master?' she asks hesitantly. He turns on his heel.

'Prepare for battle ahead,' he orders, his voice emotionless, and marches out of the room. Others exchange a look.

Outside, Anakin tries hard not to panic. You're in danger. Again. Kidnapped. Again. He can only hope to get to you in time. He can't lose you. He just can't.

He stops. He swears and punches the wall. It doesn't help. But he doesn't hit it again. His face hardens in determination. He will find you. He must.

And he does. An hour or so later they're in the middle of the battle. It was a trap, obviously. But that doesn't stop anyone. Especially not Skywalker, who runs through the ship and slices any droid that stands in his way.

Finally, he turns yet another corner. A person in front of him turns around wildly, pointing a blaster at him. He immediately stops and raises his hands up.

'It's me,' he says, staring into your eyes calmly. You lower the blaster with shaking hands.

'Anakin,' you gasp. 'Oh, thank the gods…'

You drop the blaster and run into his arms. He catches you quickly, though he's surprised by such a public display of affection. But when he feels your body shaking and hears your sobs, he realizes how scared you are and what a relief it must be to see him.

'It's all right,' he murmurs into your ear, holding you close. 'I'm here. We're getting you out of here. You'll be safe in a moment.'

You just sob and cling to him harder. The battle rages on but it doesn't matter to him. Comforting you takes priority. So, he doesn't pull away even when Ahsoka and a few of his troopers show up. He doesn't seem to notice the exchange of a look between them.

'Sir-' Fives starts but Rex silences him with a raised fist. A moment later you pull away. Anakin cups your face gently and takes a good look at you. His heart breaks.

Your hair is in disarray and your face is dirty. There are a few burns on your arms. Your clothes are torn. But more importantly, there's a deep fear in your eyes.

'Can you walk?' he asks softly. You nod and pull away. You grab the dropped blaster and join others.

'Let's get out of here,' you say, somehow managing to keep your voice from shaking. Others nod and lead you out.

'How did you even find yourself on this corridor?' Skywalker asks. You smile.

'When you attacked, a couple of droids were ordered to bring me on the bridge,' you explain. 'Clearly, they haven't heard that I almost escaped with my sister already and underestimated me. The blaster belonged to one of them.'

'Resourceful and clever as always,' Rex chuckles. You send him a grin. But it quickly falters as you encounter more droids.

It seems hours pass before you find yourself on your rescuers ship. The moment you enter the hyperspace, your legs give out and your beloved barely manages to catch you before you hit the floor.

'I'll take her to a medical bay,' Jesse offers.

'I got this,' Skywalker says and picks you up bridal style. He walks away with you and his companions once again exchange a look.

'In moments like this I'm glad I'm not a Jedi,' Fives sighs.

'In moments like this I wonder how the Jedi Council can be so blind,' Rex grunts.

'Because they only seem to be on their best behavior around them,' Ahsoka murmurs, smiling slightly. 'And we're not going to inform them, are we?'

'Absolutely not,' the Clones answer. Tano snorts and heads to give the Jedi Council a report.

In the meantime, Anakin watches how the medic droid checks you over. He's relieved to hear that you've sustained no serious injuries. Once he's alone with you, he allows himself to grab your hand and squeeze it gently.

'I'm sorry I let it happen,' he says quietly, regret and sorrow in his voice. In your sleep, you squeeze his hand back, as if telling him it's not his fault. He smiles and brings your hand to his lips to press a kiss to it.

'Rest, my star,' he murmurs. 'You're safe now.'

*

You allow Anakin to support you when you come down the ramp. You spot your family immediately. Astrariel and your mother stay together, while your father is a bit closer than them. All of them watch you anxiously.

You let go of Skywalker once you're on your planet. You walk fast to the King and he hugs you tightly. You inhale his scent, feeling finally at home.

'My brave girl,' he murmurs, his voice breaking a bit. 'I'm so proud of you. But I'm sorry you had to go through that. Words cannot express how relieved and glad I am you're safe and sound. My precious little girl.'

'Dad…' you whisper, on the verge of tears. He pulls away and cups your face. He smiles, his eyes shining. You return the smile and close your eyes, bowing your head a bit. Your father mirrors the move and your foreheads touch.

'Go, your mother and sister can't wait to greet you as well,' he says. You nod and take a step back. Then, you walk around him and hurry to Astrariel and the Queen. They don't hold back and cry as they hug you.

Anakin watches the reunion with a smile. But he straightens up when Andrrei walks to him. He starts bowing but the King grabs his arms and smiles.

'General Skywalker, I can't tell you how grateful I am you brought my daughter home,' he says. The Jedi smiles.

'I'm glad I wasn't too late, Your Majesty,' he says.

'As am I,' your father sighs. The men look at you. They see your mother caressing your cheek and urging you inside. You turn your head and your eyes land on your beloved. A minute pass before you turn your head back. Neither of you is aware that the King is watching you closely.

'You must be tired,' he says and turns to the people on the ship. 'Come down, we have prepared food and baths for you!'

The Clones and Ahsoka cheer. They're not sure what excites them more. They rush down and pass their general, eager to properly rest. Only Tano stops and looks at her master.

'Walk with me,' Andrrei says, clapping the older Jedi's shoulder.

'Go ahead, Snips,' Anakin says to his padawan. She shrugs and hurries after her friends, shouting at them to wait for her. Skywalker and the King head the other way. The Jedi hopes whatever it is will be quick, because he hopes for a bath as well.

'How has having a padawan been for you?' your father asks once they reach his chambers.

'It's… definitely a challenge,' the Jedi admits. 'But a rewarding one for sure. Ahsoka is a great Jedi. And helps me in more ways than I have expected.'

'That's good to hear,' the King says and pours them some wine. 'To be honest, I was relieved when I heard you two were given the mission to rescue [Y/N].'

'How so?' Anakin asks, frowning.

'Because I was sure you'd rescue her. No one cares about my daughter the way you do. Outside my family, of course.'

'I… I'm sure that's not true, Your Majesty.'

'No? Are you not her best friend?'

'Y-yes, of course, I am.'

They sip the wine in silence for a moment. Skywalker finds a portrait of a royal family on a wall and smiles softly when he looks at your likeness. The King watches him with a soft smile of his own.

'You're in love with her, aren't you?' he asks. The Jedi looks at him, startled. He quickly starts to deny it but Andrrei silences him with a hand.

'Anakin, I'm not blind,' he chuckles. 'I've watched you two for years. I saw how your friendship blossoms into love. I see the way you look at each other. The look [Y/N] gives you is the same Lyra gives me. And I'm sure the look you give her is the same I give to my wife.'

Skywalker looks down, ashamed. Your father claps his shoulder.

'I am not angry with you and I'm not going to demand that you stop this,' he assures him. The Jedi looks at him with surprise. The King lets him go and walks to the window. He stares at the setting sun.

'In our culture, the most important thing in our life… is love,' he says. 'That's why my daughters and wife protested so much against the marriage with Prince Jordari. Marrying someone you don't love is hard to understand for us. Especially, when your heart already belongs to someone else.'

He gives Anakin a knowing look. The young man looks down bashfully. Andrrei chuckles.

'That's also why [Y/N] couldn't understand why Jedi can't love,' he says. 'She was asking me about it a lot when she was younger. I'm sure she asked you about it, too.'

'Yes, she did,' Skywalker confirms, remembering the conversation you two had about it.

'Love is sacred for us,' your father says. 'Love between two people even more so. So, I can't forbid you to stop seeing my daughter. Even though my common sense tells me you should. I understand the dangers that come with a love for a Jedi. But a broken heart can bring even more. However, there is one thing.'

'Your Majesty?' Anakin asks, worried.

'We love deeply. Unconditionally. When we give our hearts to someone, we don't ever ask back for it. So, I'm afraid that my daughter will never love anyone else. And since she's the heir to the throne of Luth and you are a Jedi… it is troublesome.'

'I… I understand, Your Majesty.'

'… No, I don't think you do. Do you love her?'

'With all my heart. She's… There's no one like her. I know she's the one for me. Only with her I feel free and… as myself. Just seeing her face brings a smile to my face. When I'm not with her, I keep wondering when I'll hear her voice again. Her laugh… is the most beautiful sound in the world.'

The King smiles. He sees in Skywalker's eyes he's telling the truth.

'Then I give you my blessing to ask her to marry you,' he says. The Jedi looks at him with wide eyes. Your father laughs.

'Don't give me that look,' he says. 'Surely, you thought about it if you say she's the one.'

'Yes, but… I didn't think I would marry her soon,' Anakin says, blushing. 'I mean… I want to. I know that. But I don't think she'd agree while I'm in the Jedi Order.'

'Are you planning to leave it?' Andrrei asks, interested.

'I consider it,' Skywalker answers after a pause. 'I'd love if we could be together in the open, her the crown princess and me the Jedi Knight… or Master. That's why I want to be granted the rank of the Master. Maybe I could change things then. But I'm also aware it may fail. But also, that one day [Y/N] is going to become a queen. And as her husband I'd have to take a place beside her as a king.'

'There are still years before that happens hopefully. I am in a very good health after all. But let me tell you something. Being married while sitting on thrones is something completely different than when being simple people. Or even a princess and a Jedi.'

'I know… But we don't need to get married.'

'Do you really think so? People say there's not much difference before and after marriage. Maybe that's true, but for some there is something different. Also, there is something comforting in wearing bands. "This person is mine and I'm theirs. No one can tear us apart, for we are joined, we are one." It's reassuring. Even if other people can't know that's true.'

Anakin thinks hard about it. He's still conflicted. Your father puts a hand on his shoulder with a kind smile.

'Think about it,' he encourages him. 'And talk about it with [Y/N].'

'I'm not sure if she's going to be keen on that idea. She was against a relationship with me at first.'

'I think you will find her more into that idea than you think. She has her mother's spirit. She, too, was against marrying me at first. She didn't want to be a queen at first. But then, I almost died in an ambush. The possibility of losing me made her change her mind.'

Anakin frowns. He looks down, thinking about it.

'Talk with her,' Andrrei encourages him. 'But whatever you two will decide, you have my blessing.'

An hour later Skywalker finds himself knocking on your door. C-3PO opens it.

'Oh, Master Anakin!' he says happily. 'How good it is to see you. We're all very happy you brought Princess [Y/N].'

'No one more than me, Threepio,' the Jedi assures him with a smile and walks in. The droid quickly puts himself on guard, while Skywalker walks into your drawing room. He finds you standing in the threshold of the balcony, staring outside, your arms around yourself.

'Something interesting out there?' he asks, walking to you. He puts his arms around you. His heart skips a beat when he feels you relaxing and leaning into him.

'People want to celebrate my return,' you explain. 'They're so happy I'm back and all right. I think they're considering building you a monument, since you've helped us so many times. Lanash says it's an excellent idea. I think it would just make your ego grow.'

'You're both right,' he responds and you laugh.

'I've heard my father talked with you in private,' you say slowly. 'What did he want?'

'He gave me his blessing to marry you,' he answers after a beat. He expects surprise, maybe a bit of fear. But you don't even budge.

'Ah,' you say instead. 'I wondered if he knows about us. What did you say to him?'

'That I want to marry you,' he answers. 'But I'm not sure if the time is right.'

'Will it ever be?' you ask. He looks at you with surprise. Also, with fear and hope.

'What do you mean?' he asks.

'A week ago, I'd probably say it's not a good decision for now,' you answer.

'But now?' he asks, his heart beating fast. You turn in his arms and face him. Your eyes meet.

'Now I've been kidnapped by Separatists and all I could think about when I would see you again,' you say and cup his cheek. 'I was afraid it would be never. And when I saw you… nothing else mattered. I didn't care who sees us and what they think. I was ready to shout to the world how much I love you.'

He looks at you, stunned. Hopes shines in his eyes.

'Hypothetically, if I were to propose to you… you'd say yes?' he asks. You smile.

'I would,' you confirm and a grin starts forming on his face. 'But you must be aware first that we don't have a thing like engagement. The couple decides they want to get married? They do it in the span of the next few days. And since I'm a princess, our wedding has to be public. Everyone will know. And since your troops and padawan are here… they will have to know as well.'

He frowns, worried. Just then Lanash looks into the room. Obviously, she heard at least the last part.

'Pardon me, but they already suspect there's something between the two of you,' she reveals. You look at her with surprise and fright.

'How do you know?' Anakin asks.

'I heard Rex and Jesse talking about it,' she explains. 'Mind you, they should have kept their voices down. Anyway, they said something about what a cute couple you two are.'

You and Skywalker blush. Your maid must control herself not to giggle.

'So, I think they won't tell anyone,' she says. 'They're loyal to you, General Skywalker. Same as Ahsoka.'

You and your beloved share a look. You smile. He grins and drops on one knee, ignoring Lanash's presence, who quickly calls C-3PO and R2-D2.

'[Y/N] [L/N], Princess of Luth, will you make me the happiest man alive and become my wife?' Anakin asks. You squeeze his hands, beaming.

'Becoming your wife will make me the happiest woman alive,' you say and chuckle. 'Of course, I will marry you.'

He grins and stands up. He takes you in his arms and kisses you passionately. Behind him, your friends cheer.

'Pardon me,' your maid says a moment later, pushing her way next to you. You watch her, puzzled, as she walks onto the balcony. She grabs the railing and leans over it.

'SHE SAID "YES"!' she yells at the top of her lungs. You and your fiancé stare at her, horrified. But then you jump, startled, when you hear cheerful screams. Lanash turns to you.

'Apparently, as your mother has made me aware today, everyone in the capital knew you two have a thing, just no one spoke about it,' she explains. 'After seeing you come down the ramp, holding to him, they were sure you're going to get married, as they all remember why your mother finally said "yes" to your father. So, they're not preparing for a celebration of your return. They're preparing for a celebration of your wedding.'

You and Anakin look at each other, bewildered. He shakes his head.

'Is there anyone who doesn't know?' he asks. R2-D2 beeps.

'Oh, only people here know,' C-3PO translates. 'Apparently, you just control yourself around people you know could break you apart.'

You can't help it and start laughing. Skywalker looks at you, stunned, but then he starts laughing as well. He takes you in his arms and grins. In a few days his dream is about to come true. He'll be your husband and you'll be his wife.

Prove Me Wrong

Chapter 7: Pancakes and Meatloaf

Prove Me Wrong Masterlist

Summary: Billy meets Jess's cat, has dinner with her family, and seems to have a fine day, but Neil makes sure to ruin it.

Warnings: Neil making an appearance again. Child abuse. Mentions of hitting/slapping. Physical harm. Mental and verbal abuse. Threatening. Swearing. Please let me know if I missed anything. Also, not proofread.

Word Count: 5.6k

Author's note: This chapter goes out to my kitty, Waffle, who recently passed away. He was my homeboy since 5th grade, and though I renamed him in this pic considering the Stranger Things universe already had its own eggo enthusiast, he will always be my #1 waffle lover.

As always, eff Neil.

Jess dreaded the next morning, as she was convinced she needed to spend less time with Hargrove than she had allowed herself the past four days. Has it really only been four days? This realization made her even more disgusted with herself. She just needed time away from him, that was it. Then everything would be back to normal. Back to how it should be. But when she walked out of her house, towards the blue Camero, four muffins in hand, Billy made it quite difficult to ignore him, as she intended on doing the rest of the day. 

“Hey there, gorgeous.” She willed herself not to smile softly as she would have a few days ago, and simply distributed the muffins evenly, not making a sound as she lowered herself into the passenger seat. “You eat already, Logan?” He was now teasing her, as she had forgotten to feed herself just yesterday. Instead of answering him with words, she simply nodded her head and then proceeded to look out the passenger window. Billy only looked at her for a moment, taking notice of how she shifted herself away from him. “Alright.”

He took his time driving this morning, not speeding to their shared campus as he normally did. The music was not as loud and instead acted as background noise to the awkward silence of their ride to school. Max also seemed to sense something was off, as she shifted uncomfortably in the middle seat and made it a point not to give Billy any shit this morning. When the car was parked, Max wasted no time with her getaway. Not leaving enough time for Jess to unbuckle herself and exit first, Max climbed over the middle console as she did yesterday, and left using the passenger door, leaving it open for Jess. She saw this as an opportunity to leave as well, but when she finally released the seatbelt and began to step out, Billy stopped her, grasping at her elbow bend, careful not to hold on too hard, allowing her to break free if she needed. “You good?” 

“Yup. See you later, Hargrove.” The way she answered told him otherwise, but he didn’t push further, considering they were now at school, with a potential audience if things went south. He chalked it up to her still being stressed over derivatives and didn’t put it passed her to have picked up her notebook last night and continue studying, even when Billy advised her to rest.

She’s just tired. And he was right, she was tired, but not because she had spent the whole night studying, but instead, spent the whole night thinking about him, thinking about everything he has done and said, every smile she had received from him these past few days, which ones were fake, and which ones were genuine. She had dissected everything that went on between the two of them, looking for any hint of insincerity, sure she would find something, and when she didn’t, it drove her even more mad, coming to the conclusion that she was delusional. 

“Yeah, see you.” He said too late, she was already closing the door as the words were forced out of his mouth. His eyes followed her as she raced toward Steve, who seemed to be always waiting for her. Just for her. He took a long drag from a now-lit cigarette and finally broke his gaze from the pair to a different group, Tommy Hagen and Carol Perkins, who also seemed interested in the previous pair Billy was just spying on. Carol seemed to be nudging Tommy, pointing meaningfully at Jess as she whispered, causing Tommy’s eyes to widen and nod in what looked like agreeance to Billy. Sighing, he took one last drag of his cigarette and ashed it in his tray where he left the remaining half for later. 

As he began to walk toward the two, Carol quickly closed the gap between the two, making sure she informed Billy of what she just realized. “Looks like Tommy was right after all,” is all she said at first, believing Billy would clue into whatever the hell they were talking about based on that one sentence. 

“What?” 

“Your little girlfriend is wearing Harrington’s sweater, how cute.” Tommy now chimed in, which was enough to jog his memory of their conversation last Friday morning. This caused him to snap his head back over to the two a bit harsher than he calculated, which he hoped his friends didn’t notice. He didn’t take it for someone else’s at first, as it fit her perfectly, slightly loose, but not by any means baggy. It was a blue-green raglan sweater, seams visible only at the shoulders, and now looking at it, the arms were much longer than they should be on her, while she seemed to stretch the chest out slightly. In other words, it most likely wasn’t hers. The left side of his mouth ticked downward, as he scrunched his nose and cleared his throat, spitting unnecessarily to the right of his stance. 

“Bitch ain’t my girlfriend.” He then began to head toward the building’s entrance, interested in leaving with or without Hagen and Perkins, but of course, they followed him. 

“I’m throwing a party at my place Friday,” Carol piped up, already bored of the prior topic, something Billy was grateful for.  “Parents are going on some holiday skiing trip. You in?” He simply grunted in response. Of course he was in. 

“Cool, later.” And with that, she left the two boys, probably eager to spread the news of her having the house to herself this weekend. As she went from person to person, requesting them to “tell everyone” while dodging those that, according to her, didn’t need to come, Carol spotted her next target. 

Jess’s locker suddenly slammed shut, Carol Perkin’s hand stretched across the door. 

“Carol…” 

“Mrs. Harrington. My, you look super cute today.” Carol was now fingering her, or rather, Steve’s sweater, smiling knowingly. 

“What are you going on about?” Jess was already walking away from her locker, eager to get to her first period. 

“So, what is going on with you and Harrington?” 

“You’re out of touch, Carol.” 

“Not my fault someone doesn’t keep me in the loop anymore.” When Jess decidedly ignored this comment, Carol continued, “I’m having a party this Friday, or are you too cool to come?”

“Yeah, right, like you want me there.”

“Hey, you stopped hanging with us, or do you not remember?” Carol was now blocking Jess’s walking path, seemingly knowing the pathway she needed to take to her first period, looking annoyed and, surprisingly, hurt, an emotion she only showed briefly before shaking it away entirely. Again, Jess said nothing, so Carol continued, moving out of her way so that they could walk side by side, as they used to when walking to class. “You know, I figured it was your bible-thumping weirdos that made you quit hanging out, since we’re ‘bad influences’, but apparently, it turns out you don’t exactly hang out with them either.” 

“What’s your point, Carol?” 

“Seems like Steve Harrington is the only good enough friend for you. I mean, he must be since you’ve completely isolated yourself from everyone else.” Jess wished that this was the case, that for some reason, she’d randomly decided that Steve Harrington would be her only friend, that she was choosing to cut off everyone else. That would have made it easier. The truth was, she tried this year, really tried to go back to normal, as nothing different happened. That Hawkins was just Hawkins, that she wasn’t burdened by this incredible secret. And then it happened again. All. Over. Again. And there were only a few people she didn’t have to pretend with. Carol Perkins wasn’t one of them. And after what happened between her, Tommy, and Steve last year, it seemed there was no use trying again. 

“I’ll be there,” is what Jess was able to muster up, unwilling and unable to confront the current topic. 

Carol looked her up and down. “Wear something cute, you’re better than this. And tell Harrington.” Their shoulders softly brushed against each other as Carol turned around to walk in the opposite direction, and Jess was once again alone in a crowded hallway. 

Fourth-period practice was awful. As expected, Alicia did leave a detailed note of yesterday’s after-school practice, and Coach was not happy. Not happy at all. 

---

“Since SOME OF YOU are uninterested in our SCHEDULED afternoon practices, looks like we’ll ALL be having an unscheduled one this afternoon. I hope you girls like running because you’ll be doing A LOT of it after school.” As they were currently in the gym, the boys, who pretended they weren’t paying attention, heard every last word. Some snickers were exchanged at the girls’ expense, causing some dirty looks to get thrown the boys’ way.  

By the end of practice, they were a sweaty mess, Coach not easing up on their current practice either, practically pushing them passed their limits as punishment. Showers and reapplication of makeup were in order for many of the girls, causing them to take longer coming out of the gym than the boys this time around. Billy left the locker room after Steve, who was already waiting outside the gym doors for Jess, Jason and Patrick making small talk with him while they waited. Billy eyed the three boys, sticking his left hand in his jean pocket, running his right hand through his hair, and then began cracking his knuckles with his thumb. Steve stared at him apprehensively, considering he was normally long gone by now, walking to the cafeteria. Just then Chrissy walked through the doors and turned to Steve, who was now looking at her, “She’s almost done.” As if on cue, Jess came through the doors, hair now thrown in the same banana clip as last night. 

As Steve began to open his mouth, Billy beat him to the punch, “Hey, Logan.” Steve shot his head in Billy’s direction, unsure he heard that right. Jess also seemed caught off guard, but gave Steve a quick look, telling him “One minute”, and walked over to Billy. 

“Yeah?” She whispered this question, not meaning to be so quiet. Jess swiftly looked over her shoulder, and then back at Billy. Steve and the rest were barely out of earshot, causing Billy to also lower his voice, though not as much as Jess. 

“You still need a ride, right?” 

“Uhh.” Jess had yet to think about how her extra, unplanned practice was going to affect her after-school plans. “If you can’t it’s okay, I’m sure Steve-“ 

“I’ll be in the car. Don’t run too slow, Logan.” He then looked back over at Steve, who had yet to take his eyes off him, and nodded at him slightly, causing Steve to squint his eyes defensively. With that, Billy then walked in the direction of the cafeteria. 

Confused as to why he couldn’t have waited till their 6th or 7th period to go over their plans, she stood there for a moment, watching Billy walk away from her. Her gaze slipped away when she felt Steve standing right next to her. “What was that all about?” 

“Just letting me know I still had a ride, I guess?” This made Steve cross his arms, now both of them looking in Hargrove's direction again. 

Patrick, unaware of any tension, was now becoming impatient. “So are we eating or what?” 

---

“If you don’t make it in eighteen minutes, you’ll be running it AGAIN.” 

All the girls were dressed in their matching cheer sweatsuits, as it was much too cold for their regular attire, running around the track. Jess was nearing the end of her two-mile, feeling her right knee close to giving out. It began to tighten, making bending it nearly impossible, let alone putting weight on it. Only one lap left. She began hobbling slightly, pulling the right pants leg along with every step to be sure she would not have to endure another eighteen minutes of absolute hell. She was one of the only girls left on the track, which was, as always, disheartening. She hated the tightness she felt in her chest when she ran and always wondered if the other girls felt the same way. As she was rounding the last corner, she happened to look over at the bleachers, and to her horror, Billy Hargrove was leaning against them. She sprinted the last 100 meters, dragging her right leg with the same side arm. 

“17:46. I expect a faster time from my co-captains.” But, at this moment, Jess didn’t care. All she wanted was her second shower of the day and to finally be able to stretch out her knee. As she was exiting the track gate, Hargrove began moving toward her, smirk growing as she watched her shuffle away. 

“Jesus, Jess, looks like you’re falling apart.” He then nodded at her leg, continuing to eye her injury as she limped. “You get that from cheer?” 

“Nuh-uh, it’s older. Happened when I was a kid.” But when Billy began to open his mouth to ask what happened, she turned toward the back gym entrance, “I really need a shower, I’ll meet you at your car.” 

Jess quickly showered off what remained from her run, and quickly threw her still-wet hair up in the scrunchy that was previously holding her hair back. She threw on for the third time today Steve’s blue sweater and her own 401 jeans, quickly retied her old Nikes, and exited the locker room, heading toward the front parking lot entrance, bag swung haphazardly over her right shoulder. 

When she peeled the glass door open, she saw Billy leaning against the driver’s side, cigarette lit. He didn’t seem to notice her exit at first, and instead, was focused on the pavement. It was only when he heard the scuffing of her shoes did he look, slightly frowning when he took in her outfit. 

He flicked his red down and stomped it out, motioning his nod to the passenger door, which Jess figured meant “get in”. Billy turned the key over but didn’t speed off the way he normally did, looking out at the now abandoned student lot, with the exception of a few cars. He kept his eyes forward before starting back to the conversation before school. “What was with you this morning.” He didn’t state it as a question, he didn’t want her to lie to him again, didn’t want to leave room for her to. He knew something was different, being able to look back at yesterday morning and not recognize who entered his car this morning. Or rather, he did recognize this morning’s version, but it was the same girl that had met him on Sunday afternoon, and the same girl who avoided him every day before their shared project. 

“What do you mean?” Jess gave Billy a look of mock confusion, but her eyes gave her away, which were more aggressive than usual as if she were annoyed they were again having this conversation. 

“You seemed off, but what do I know, right?” Jess only shrugged, causing Billy to nod his head in disappointment and peel out of the parking spot he occupied. They drove in silence for a moment, no music playing in the background this time. Jess stared out at the now bare trees, their leaves now covering the grass and paved roads. She then peaked at Billy, who was caught looking at her but didn’t turn away when he was realized, only glancing in front of him when he needed to watch the road.  

“Billy, I’m just tired alright? You don’t need to be all weird about it.” 

“Oh, I’m being weird.” He smiled teasingly at Jess but stopped when she didn’t return the gesture. “You hear about Carol’s party?” When Jess nodded, he continued to ask, “You goin’?”

“I mean, I said I would, so probably.”

“You tell Harrington?” 

“Yeah, I told him in Spanish.” 

“He takin’ you?” Billy only looked out at the road when he asked, wanting to seem uninterested in the answer, that they were just making small talk. But an unspoken question lingered in his tone, a question that stayed with Billy for the remainder of the day after realizing whose clothes you were wearing. 

“I’m sure he would if I asked,” Jess answered this way, giving Billy an out, allowing him to be able to arrive by himself as he always did and take whatever girl home, as he, also, always did. 

“I’m sure he would.” His statement was stiffened with skepticism. Though wanting to offer her a ride instead, he decided he wouldn’t, as he was beginning to question whether he was starting to look desperate to be around her, and Billy Hargrove was never desperate. 

They finally pulled into her driveway, Billy immediately turning out the key once the car was parked. “We got a lot of studying to do if you’re gonna get that ‘B’ on Friday.” And with that, he exited, already heading toward the doorway. 

The smell of meatloaf hit both Jess and Billy as soon as the front door was pulled open, causing Jess’s growling stomach to become audible to those close to her, which wasn’t surprising due to the extra amount of “activity” forced onto her by her coach. 

As if reading her mind, Mrs. Logan shouted from the kitchen, “You kids hungry? Dinner’s just about done!” Jess looked over to Billy, unsure if he was willing to eat with her family, as this was unmarked territory for the both of them, having Billy share a meal with both of her parents. 

Billy looked down at Jess and coolly replied to her look of concern. “I could eat.” Before sitting at the dining table, Billy went over to Mrs. Logan and offered to help bring any dishes to the table, which made Jess watch them carefully, unwilling to have what happened the first time he met her mother happen again. But the offer seemed genuine enough that Jess allowed herself to look away and place her bag by the edge of the steps, ready for her to pick up and ascend to her room when it was time. She offered to take Billy’s bag as well, placing it near hers when he handed it to her. 

When Billy joined Jess at the table empty-handed, she assumed that her mother shooed him away, not allowing their guest to help, as she barely allowed her husband to help in the kitchen. He kept staring at the placemat in front of him, unsure of what to do next. His hands fidgeted with one another underneath the table. He was unwilling to admit it, but her was nervous, to say the least. He couldn’t remember the last time he sat at the dinner table with his own family, let alone someone else's. His mind eased, however, when he heard a familiar purring at his feet. There was the same cat, an overweight, orange tabby, who was now rubbing against his leg, seemingly begging for attention. “Hey there big guy.” 

“His name’s Pancake. Because when I first got him, he literally stole a whole pancake from me.” 

“Makes sense, he’s definitely shaped like one.”

Jess elbowed the side of his left arm. “Leave Pancake alone. He’s a good boy, aren’t you, Pancake?” As if he understood, he sent a tiny “meow” in her direction. 

“Alrighty, soup’s on!” Mr. Logan was now placing a narrow dish, recently out of the oven, in front of the two teenagers, making sure to place a flat oven mitt underneath first. Mrs. Logan then followed behind with a bowl full of homemade mashed potatoes, complete with garlic butter and a hint of parsley for color. 

“This smells and looks great, Mrs. Logan, thanks.”

“Oh, you can call me Beverly.” 

“Or you can keep calling her Mrs. Logan, that’s fine too,” Jess said under her breath, eyeing Billy knowingly. 

Mrs. Logan was too busy setting up the table to hear her disapproving comment, but Billy wasn’t, and to mess with her he responded, “Well then thank you, Beverly.” He then suddenly felt a strong kick underneath the table, effortlessly striking his shin. As he grimaced, a loud “REOWW” was heard, with Pancake disappearing into the living room. 

“You kids all right?”

“Yeah Mom, I think Billy just scared him.” She now turned her attention to Billy, “I’d be careful around Pancake, he isn’t declawed.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” He returned sarcastically. 

As both her parents took their seats, Jess habitually bowed her head, but the Logan’s normal routine of saying grace was replaced by a casual “dig in”, which caused Jess to give her mother a questioning look. 

“We have a guest.” Jess quickly nodded and did as she was told, grateful she didn’t have to wait any longer to fill her stomach. 

Everything tasted how it looked, delicious. And after many forkfuls of his own food, Mr. Logan began to ask questions about their shared assignments. “How’s the reading coming along?” 

Jess took it upon herself to answer all the questions, which Billy was thankful for, not knowing how long he would have been able to keep conversation going. She, in detail, described what their essay would be about, how much they have read so far, graciously leaving out how they’ve read so far, and how he was also helping her in math, something that Mr. Logan found interesting. 

“So you’re good at math, Billy?” 

“Try to be, sir.” 

“That’s good. I’ve heard your sister is quite good at it too.” At this, Billy turned to Jess, slightly confused, but when Jess returned his look of confusion, he quickly realized she was not the one talking about his family. Their shared looks made Mr. Logan chuckle. “Your dad and I work at the same bank, son.” 

“Oh.” This information made his stomach flip, causing him to be uncomfortable where he sat. He began shifting in his seat, attempting to still look Mr. Logan in the eyes during their conversation. 

As they finished their dinner, Billy insisted on at least carrying the dirty dishes to the sink, but once that was done, Both Mr. and Mrs. Logan ordered that they retreat upstairs to start their studying. Jess made sure to grab her bag, reminding Billy of his as well, and they went up the steps together. 

When they had finally entered her bedroom, Jess was already giving Billy an annoyed glance. He decided to put a close to her irritation, “Jess I wasn’t flirting with your mother this time.” 

“Oh yeah?” 

He then raised his right hand, tracing across over the left side of his chest, as he did the first time he visited, “Cross my heart.”

“Hope to die?” 

“Doesn’t everyone?”

Jess rolled her eyes at his quick remark but figured he meant his promise, and she continued with their plans for the evening. “So, The Iliad or derivatives, take your pick.”

“Whatever you want, princess.” He was busy eyeing her childish teddies along the far wall of her room, occasionally running his fingers along the ears, many of them wearing various cheer outfits, complete with pom poms, which made Billy chuckle. What caught his attention, however, was a picture of a much younger Jess, with a white long sleeve, the number 07 written in black on her torso, the word “Broncos” written above the number in the same color, complete with a pair of spandex and kneepads. “You played?” Billy now had the frame in his hand, facing it toward Jess as if to explain why he was suddenly asking her questions. 

“That was a long time ago.” 

“Were you any good?” 

“Honestly? Yeah. Really good.” 

He set the frame back down in front of another frame, which was slightly longer, and had depicted about a dozen girls, all wearing the same uniform Jess had in the previous picture. He searched for her in the group photo and when he found her, he turned back to the now older version. “Why aren’t you on the Hawkins team then?” But before she could answer, Billy suddenly turned back to her solo picture, and reread the mascot name on her jersey. “The Broncos? I thought Hawkins middle school were The Cubs?” 

“I went to middle school a couple towns over.” Jess had her copy of The Iliad already out, opened to where they stopped last Saturday. “You ready to get started?” 

“You deciding you don’t need me anymore, Logan?” 

Billy was not as eager to start on the reading as Jess was and was hoping she would have chosen him to tutor her in math instead, considering how stressed the epic poem made him.  “Like you said, I’ll figure it out by Wednesday.” She gave him a quick smile, ensuring it didn’t linger longer than being friendly, and gestured for him to sit next to her, which he did after he retrieved the annotated copy from his bag. As Billy sat, she shifted slightly, scooting away from him when he got closer. However, Billy didn’t seem to notice, as he was too engaged in Jess’s old notes. 

“Now pleasing sleep had seal’d each mortal eye, Stretch’d in the tents the Grecian leaders lie…”

She read this way for the next few hours, Billy quietly listening, occasionally glancing up to watch her read, something she would sometimes catch, but willed herself to not acknowledge them, as, she believed, that’s all they were: glances. They continued this way, him admiring her, her pretending not to notice him, with the occasional questions Billy had about the text interrupting their game. When the clock turned 9:45, Billy interjected Jess’s reading one last time. 

“We can pick this up tomorrow. But Thursday I have to finish my research paper for U.S History,” Jess began to explain, putting away her book and taking her physics packet in the process, “And since we’ll be… busy… Friday, I’m thinking we can just write the paper this weekend. Or I can just do it if-“

“I’m free this weekend.” Billy intended to keep his promise, to not push all the paperwork on Jess, even though he was unsure how useful he’d be in writing an essay. 

“Okay, Saturday then? Since you know, you work and all…” 

“See you tomorrow, Logan.” 

Billy softly closed her door, then began down the steps, his bag swinging in his left hand, his right hand holding onto his pack of Reds in his denim pocket. Her parents were no longer in the kitchen, nor the living room, so he took it upon himself to lock the bottom lock, closing the front door afterward. He climbed into his car, wearing a crooked smile, turned the key, and blasted his heat. Once his door was closed, he lit what he believed would be his last cigarette of the night, and trapped it between his lips before he pulled out and made the short drive back home. Before pulling up his own driveway, he was sure to turn off his headlights to avoid illuminating the living room, hoping not to wake anyone who may be asleep. Once parked he finished his Marlboro inside his car, taking his time, before it was time to leave the safety of his car and enter his father’s domain. He still held the smile on his face, reminiscing over his previous meal, but when he opened the front door to find Neil standing, facing the door, with Max sitting on the couch, also now staring at the door wide-eyed, he quickly dropped his smile, along with any hope of going to sleep any time soon. 

“So,” Neil remained unmoved, staring blankly at his son, “you’re too good to bring Maxine home from school now, hmm?” 

Billy looked from Max back to his father, who was still staring at him with the same wooden expression. It made his heart drop, as he always knew what came after his father proved his vacancy for emotion, the emptiness would be replaced with something else, something that wanted to prove to Billy that he was nothing. That he would always be nothing. 

Instead of Billy responding, Max did, attempting to diminish the tension, “I told you, I’m fine. I like skating sometimes and my friends were-“

“Quiet, Maxine. I was asking your brother.” The calmness in his voice made both children shiver. Neil was now walking toward him and only stopped before the tip of his nose reached the bridge of Billy’s. “Why don’t you go back to your room.” He was still addressing Max, who looked to be opening her mouth to protest until Billy locked eyes with her and shook his head painfully slow, hoping to not tip off his father about their nonverbal conversation.

For fucks sake Max, don’t make it worse.

When her footsteps were no longer audible, Neil continued. “So. Why is it, on a day you don’t have practice, did you allow your sister to skate home?” 

“Dad, come on, I had shit to take care of, okay? I got this English project and she even said her friends were with her. It’s not like she was fending for herself out there.” 

“Oh no, I saw who brought her home, Billy.” The color began to drain from his face as he tried to look anywhere but at Neil. “It’s your responsibility to bring her home. Isn’t that right?” 

“Dad I-“ Neil’s first strike to his face caught him off guard, his balance failing him as he teetered to his right. Once he caught himself, however, he was met with another blow to his lip, which connected much harder than the last. Neil shook his head in disappointment, annoyed that he had to do that. 

“That wasn’t a question, son.” Billy was now backed into the door, silently begging to materialize at the other side of it. The way Neil spat out his name for him, son, it made him want to return to the Logan’s, back to the dinner table with Mr. Logan, who made the name seem more endearing. “I’m tired of this attitude, thinking you can do what you want, that you can talk back.” He was becoming louder, more unhinged. 

“I’m s-sor-“

“HMM?” 

“I’m sorry sir.” He dared look into his father’s eyes when he said this, knowing it would only anger him further if this requirement was not meant.  

Neil then backed away from him, contemplating his apology. “I don’t. Ever. Want to see that shit again, you understand me?” When Billy nodded, Neil turned away from him. “Clean this shit up. Since you can’t even bother showing up to dinner anymore.” Neil gestured to the dining room, then retreated to his own room, slamming the door for good measure, indifferent about whether Susan could have been asleep. There was a single dish left on the table, a beer can sitting next to it. Billy willed the numbness in his legs to retreat back to his chest and began to walk toward the dining table, tossing the can and quickly rinsing off the plate, fork, and steak knife, placing them in the dishwasher once done. He stood there, still in front of the sink, looking out at the small window that was placed above it, only able to see his reflection as it was too dark outside to see anything else. He saw the cut left behind by his father, the redness around it threatening to turn purple any minute. He saw the moisture building under his eyes and the trembling scowl on his face. He saw how unquestionably weak he looked. He struck his palm against the edge of the now clean sink, still staring down his reflection, ordering it to change, but it only became worse, the tears now running down his face.  He couldn’t be here anymore. Not now. 

He retreated back to his car, now allowing his headlights to shine bright, not caring whether they were disrupting. He wouldn’t be coming back tonight anyways. He backed out, tires screeching and music blasting, something he was sure he’d pay for tomorrow if Neil cared to run into him again. He glanced down at his watch, seeing the time read as 11:37. Everything would be closed, this city not even a fraction as lively as SoCal. Billy looked around at the darkened town as he drove, his engine and tape disrupting the silence. He then found the abandoned parking lot, the same one that he allowed Jess to circle just yesterday. He parked but kept the car on, unwilling to turn off the heat, but if he were to sleep there, in his car, as he has done multiple times, he knew he’d have to turn it off eventually. He began to hang his head, tired from tonight’s events, until he decided to once again look at his reflection, pulling at his rearview mirror slightly to do so. His cut was now much more visible than it was in the reflection of the window, angering him, the sleepiness from just moments ago fading. 

“Fuck.” He then struck his palm against his wheel. “FUCK.” He continued to bang against it, his tongue now dripping venom, “FUCK this GODDAMN town. Fuck this. FUCK HE-“ He became incoherent, babbling as he struck his dash now, unable to see clearly through his tears. When he accidentally bumped his horn, he stopped, throwing his head back in his seat. While staring up at nothing, he began to realize he didn’t want to sleep in his cold car. He didn’t want to be alone. And though he knew better, he was blinded by the comfort he had felt only hours before, and because of this, only because of this, Billy began his journey back to Cherry Lane.
