Work For It - jjk

i sigh heavily as i tug the tiny skirt down, purposely out of frame although i know my chat can tell i'm back by the way they begin to spam with glee.

i grab my pink cat ear headphones (as previously gifted by my boyfriend, not of my own will, although i find them rather adorable but would never admit it) and place them back on once again before speaking to my stream.

a week ago, gaining 1,000 subs in only seven days seemed an impossible task for a small time overwatch streamer. but what i’d assumed to be an unreachable sub goal had somehow been turned into an internet spectacle, and i had been naive to think men on the internet would not have taken advantage of my stupidity.

or that they wouldn't hold me to it.

“alright no disgusting comments or else horny jail to all of you!”

i sit back down in my chair with cheeks red, hoping my embarrassment wasn't noticeable due to my somewhat dim lighting.

“okay last round in the maid costume, as promised, then i'm done!”

and after the quickest round i've ever played i'm giving the most heartfelt thanks i can to all who supported me and signing off, promising to see them all soon and sending them off by blowing a kiss.

as soon as the streams off and the camera no longer flashes red, i heave back into my seat, completely unaware that that last round was not as fast as i thought it was and i had taken much longer to put on this stupid costume than i had anticipated.

i knew jungkook was coming over by 7, and my stream hardly ever went past 6:30.

but today it had, and i'd never regretted giving him a key to my apartment more than i had when he walked through my bedroom doorway in utter shock.

his naturally adored doe eyes were the widest i’d seen and i was not the only person in the room with a blush.

“w-what-”

“oh. well this is weird.” i spin around in my chair to face him, there's nothing to do about it now, the damage is done. I rest my chin on my hand as i face him in my seat, watching as he looks me up and down in surprise.

"what the hell are you wearing?” he finally lets out, giggling all at the same time as he crosses the room and pulls the extra chair beside me.

“i exceeded my sub goal, and i may have jokingly said if i gained a thousand by friday i would play a round in a maid costume.” i shyly admit, realizing now how stupid this all was and how i was most definitely taken advantage of by the internet.

to my surprise he sighs and chuckles, “jesus for a second i was worried you'd moved on from streaming just gaming.”

i look at him confusedly, “moved on from gaming …?” then the lightbulb goes off to what he was insinuating, “yah jeon jungkook!” he earns himself a slap on the arm and one on his thigh as he shields away from me with a laugh.

“what?! you're hot enough for it and you'd definitely make more money.” i cross my arms under my chest and his eyes don't do much to hide the way he shamelessly stares at the way they sit atop my arms, my cleavage on display from his taller angle.

“my eyes are up here jeon.” i uncross my arms and lift his chin with my fingers. “also, if you're so pro-cam girl then maybe i should.”

“hey now i didn't-”

“you think maybe a cat girl next? i think cosplay would be my thing. could probably make good money playing innocent characters since you tell me it's a part of my charm all the time.” i give him a seductive smile, playing it all to his personal likings.

“you'd be willing to do all that for old creepy men but not for me?” he scoots his seat closer and puts his hands on my knees, a pout resting on his face.

“why give valuable things away for free? this is simple supply and demand jungkook, you of all people ought to understand, it was your suggestion of course.”

he whines and pulls me closer to where our knees are touching, “i never suggested it! i got worried you were doing other things and jumped to conclusions, this is what i get for missing your stream last week.”

i grin and reach a hand out to twist his dark locks in my hand, “since you realize your mistake i won't tease you anymore.”

he lifts his head up and stares at me blankly for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, and i watch the smirk grow on his face, i already figured this would happen as soon as he caught me. “well, we both know what has to happen now.”

i giggle as he pulls me from my seat and towards my bed, “what makes you so sure I’m gonna let you fuck me with a maid costume on?” he opens his mouth prepared with some witty response i’m sure, but i ask, “also, are you really even into this? I thought we were memeing.”

he grins and shakes his head, “oh i am dead serious about this.”

“so you’re actually into this?”

he stares at me perplexed, “y/n i have never been so serious about anything in my whole life.”

we both chuckle at his response and he leans in to kiss me but i laugh, “i’m sorry, but seriously? a maid costume?”

he leans into me and groans, “baby please stop interrogating me about it.”

i shake my head, “i just don’t understand! you’ve never even mentioned being into costumes and stuff let alone specifically this.”

he sighs against my shoulder, “what do you want me to explain? that seeing my girlfriend in a sexy unrealistic maid costume with her boobs on display and her ass hanging out of the skirt has me hard as a rock in my pants? is that really hard to believe?!”

my laughter fills the room at his confession, “okay okay so it's more of an outfit thing and not really the whole dressing up thing?”

he nods and hums, “well, kind of, we could get more creative.”

i can practically hear the mischief in his voice, “creative, how? i’m not cooking or cleaning for you.”

he takes a step back, arms still wrapped around my waist and examines me, “you can work for me in other ways, as my maid.”

“work for you?” i repeat, a smile forming on my face, how lucky he is that i prefer giving than receiving.

i hum and flip us around and push him onto the bed with a large grin, “is this what you wanted, sir?”

he crawls up on the bed until his back is against my bed frame, eyes blown out and hardly containing his eagerness. only now am i able to notice the tent in his sweats, he really wasn’t joking. “yes, maid, you do know what to do, right?

i nod slowly, crawling onto the bed with him and soaking in the way his eyes follow me with adoration. I sit beside him and place a gentle hand on his jaw, “may i, please?”

i feel his hot breath against my face and he whispers a yes, leaving me to close the gap between our lips. i kiss him delicately, as if i’m hesitant, and he mimics best he can until he becomes greedy. pushing against me, hands roaming my body anywhere he could reach and grab and he begins to lick at my lips until i open my mouth, allowing him in.

i could just kiss him for hours and never be bored, and many days he lets me. but today is his lucky day i suppose, and i’m sure he’d agree.

i move my hand from his hair and trail it down his chest, using my nails to create a chilling feathery sensation on his skin and he grins, pulling me by the bottom of my thighs towards him and positioning me on top of him, oh my favorite.

i smile and pull away, leaving a hand on his shoulder as i look at him, lips glossy from my makeup and i decide then and there i should do that more often because he looks angelic. “for a maid you seem to be spoiling me a bit, don’t you think?”

he just smiles and shrugs, “i treat my workers well.” he kisses me chastly, “and we’ll see if you still think i’m spoiling you after i paint your pretty lips white, hm?”

i fake gasp, “such a dirty mouth.” i rub my nose against his, “it would be my pleasure, though.”

“i bet it will be.” he leans back in more fervently, showing his need by the way he explores my mouth and grips at my ass through my tiny skirt, vocalizing just how much he enjoys it through small moans as he has his way with my body.

i only allow him a few more minutes before breaking the kiss and leaning into him, trailing my lips down his neck and rolling my hips against him. he rolls his head back against the bed frame and cusses, “you’re working so hard, almost like you’re getting paid.”

“almost?” i speak breathlessly into his ear, “guess i’m not working hard enough.”

he watches as i sink down on the bed and tug at his sweats, lifting his hips for me and kicking them off entirely leaving him only in his boxers that never leave much to the imagination. “something more like this, sir?”

he groans out a yes as i palm him, “you’re surely not getting paid to tease me.”

i grin, “just making sure.” he narrows his eyes, unappreciative of my joke and allows me to roll the rest of his clothing down, and resuming exactly where i was before. my hand won’t be enough unless i really plan on working at it but frankly i don’t, so after a few moments of preparation i lean down and place small kisses from his hips, then to his tip and he shutters. i trail my tongue flat against the base of his cock to the tip, swirling my tongue around and repeating the pattern until i feel his hand at the back of my head, wordlessly instructing me to take him all in and i do, looking at him with innocent eyes, knowing he loves it and it's one of my charms.

i work my way lower and lower each time, listening to his moans of approval and the way he grips a little tighter the deeper i take him, and to me it's a reward, knowing he enjoys it so much. “god baby, don’t fucking stop.”

i remove my mouth for a second and grin messily, “yes sir.”

he bites his lips and i don’t allow myself to cherish the way he looks at me, i’m determined to give him exactly what he requested. i take him as far as i comfortably can, and a little more, and stay as long as i can, allowing my throat to close periodically around him and hearing him groan each time. he begins to buck his hips into my face, nearing the end and struggling to maintain his composure.

"fuck, sit up.” he instructs, grabbing his length and rising to his knees in front of me as i sit on my legs, looking up at him. He grins and shakes his head at my eagerness, lending a hand out to my face as his thumb tugs on my bottom lip and i open my mouth. he places the tip of his cock on my tongue, aimed at my mouth as he jerks himself off until he comes in my mouth, some still managing to get on my face.

he relaxes back and stares at me for a moment, “you’re gorgeous.”

i tentatively open my eyes, “glad to know you still think i’m pretty with cum on my face.” he chuckles and i instruct him to open my bedside table that has a face towel tucked into it and cleans his mess off of me, giving me plenty of soft kisses and thank you’s.

“jungkook!” he hums and digs his face in my neck. “how about one more thing, hm?”

he picks his head up, “i’m listening.”

i grin and lean into his ear, “how about my payment, now?”

he takes a deep breath and looks at me, “i will do anything for you.”

i shake my head, “simp.”

he grins and kisses me, “you gave me head in a maid costume, i’d marry you right now if i could.”

i scoff, and push him lightly, letting him fall back against the bed, “shut up!”

he smiles at me as i straddle him again and lean in to kiss him, lips pressing together with much less care than before, and he gets excited quickly, flipping me over before kissing my neck and pulling my tights and underwear down, “never thought i’d say this, but it pains me to take your clothes off.”

i giggle and tug at the bottom of his shirt, “can’t say the same.” he strips his shirt off and tosses it in the same direction of my underwear, his lips resume their exploration of my neck and chest as one of his hands ghost the insides of my thigh, drawing circles on them but never moving closer.

i whine impatiently, grabbing his hand and moving it to cup my heat and he chuckles against my skin, running a finger across my slit teasingly, “so needy and wet.”

i hum, “want you so bad jungkook.”

he groans against my skin, slipping a finger inside of me and gently pumping in and out almost teasingly. i let out small noises of appreciation and he graces me with another finger, “so pretty baby.”

he removes his hand and begins to position himself until i stop him, “what?”

i smile and bat my eyes, “wanna ride you.”

he practically moans at my confession and wastes no time seating himself and helping me get into position, lining his tip with my entrance and slowly sinking myself onto him. i allow myself to get lost in the feeling of him stretching my walls, rubbing against them so deliciously i could ride him all day if only i had the stamina. “fuck i am not going to last long.” he tells me, eyeing my chest in front of him coupled with the way i wrap so tightly around him, and its relieving because after teasing me with his fingers and our earlier adventure i was sure i woudln’t either.

i lift my hips at a speed pattern that has me mewling in his lap, as he helps me out with both hands gripping at my ass, his lips kissing, biting, and sucking at my exposed cleavage and he groans, “so fucking wet baby, fuck please let me.”

he doesn’t need more than my tired nod of approval before flipping me onto my back and moving his hands up to the top of my thighs, underneath my knees as he spreads my legs and repositions himself before thrusting into me hard. both of us worked up and chasing our high and he reaches a hand out to draw circles on my clit and i moan loudly followed by a string of cuss words and his name.

he groans at the way i tighten around his cock and my back arches off the bed at his movements, knowing exactly how to get me to cum around him, “come on baby, you close?” he asks breathlessly.

i nod quickly, “y-yes fuck, so close.” my hands begin to curl into the bedsheets and i feel my high hit me like a brick wall, my vision fades as i cum around him. he cusses and chases his own high, pulling out soon after and finishing on my stomach.

“fuck, that was good.” he says, crashing beside me with one arm underneath his head.

i grin, “always good with you.”

he admires me, “and you called me a simp.”

i smile and roll over into his arms to kiss him, “we’re both simps. now, do you wanna help me shower or not?”

thank u so much for reading n i hope u enjoyed !!! kisses have a beautiful day <3 - ara :)

Take Me, not them! | [Norman x Reader]

A/n: Hello! A few things to notice before you start reading! One, my aesthetic is candy core, so my blog will have lots of bright pink colors. Don't mind my profile picture, it's the only thing that I could find that matches my aesthetic. Two, I might have bad grammar and spelling. Sorry! Another thing, Y/n has no gender! Their pronouns are they/them. This is only part one!

Warnings: Angst.

*✭˚･ﾟ✧*･ﾟ*✭˚･ﾟ✧

- Setting: Norman's room -

"I..I n-need to find them.." Norman said, pacing up and down the room, bead of sweat formed on his forehead. "They might have been taken by d-demons.." he breathed. "oh dear..I can't.." he stuttered. Then, a questioning voice called to him

"Norman? Mom said its-"

The voice belonged to Emma, a dear friend of Norman. "Emma-!" Norman said, running up to her. "W-where's Y/n..?" he said, breathing heavily. "I- I don't know. Why are you asking? I thought they were with you?". Emma thought for a moment, and said, "last time I saw them, they were going into mom's office. They looked quite scared, too." Emma said, looking at the white-haired boy, who collapsed on the bed in distraught.

Norman quickly sat up at this news. "Mom's office..?"

"Yeah.." nodded Emma.

*✭˚･ﾟ✧*･ﾟ*✭˚･ﾟ✧

- Setting: Mom's office -

The door of Isabella's office creaked open. A head with [hair color] peaked out from it. "Mom? You asked me to come here..?". The [hair color] said. "Y/n darling! Hello. Please sit down." Mom said, pointing slightly at the chair across from her desk. Y/n walked as slowly ask she could to the chair. She already knew what the new's was, however.

"Anyways Y/n, your getting adopted tomorrow."

Y/n new that meant she was getting handed over to the demons. The demons Norman, Ray, and Emma told her about. A lump formed in their throat. "I..I don't want to leave though.." they said, their voice quivering.

"You can't be serious. Dear, you have to go, you have to leave. I'm sure your new parents will be wonderful to you, don't you agree?" Mom said, with a clearly fake smile on her pale face.

Words where already forming in your throat. Anger was bubbling up like Lava. A hot, angry, red-orange reply cam out from your throat.

"Stop faking! I'm going to be eaten.!"

*✭˚･ﾟ✧*･ﾟ*✭˚･ﾟ✧

You quickly regret everything you had just said. You slowly got up from the chair and backed away. For a moment, Mom looked calm.

That quickly changed.

"No..no..don't back away..say it again.." She said, darkness and anger forming in her dark, scary face.

"If you said it once, say it again!" she half yelled half scolded.

Before your reply came out, the door was opened revealing a white haired boy and a orange haired girl.

"No!" yelled Norman.

"Ah..Norman, you know I can't do that!"

*✭˚･ﾟ✧*･ﾟ*✭˚･ﾟ✧

"Please..take me instead! Please!" Norman begged.

Isabella simply smiled in a wicked way.

"Sorry Norman dear, but today is not get adopted. However, I assure you, you dear Y/n will be in safe conditions."

*✭˚･ﾟ✧*･ﾟ*✭˚･ﾟ✧

- Setting: Outside the house -

"Goodbye everyone. I'll try to write lots of letters while i'm gone."

Y/n smiled sadly.

Y/n set their suitcase down on the lush green grass and hugged Norman.

"i'll love you forever, Norman. Take care of Ray and Emma and the other children, while i'm gone. Goodbye."

They finished planting a soft but tender kiss on the white haired boy's lips.

The end. Part two?

61. lips or eyes: lips cus they just seem so soft and sensual hehe. Plus i dunno man, eyes are kinda gross with muta (da sht in da corner of ur eyes when you wake up, it's a filipino word) and sht. And ya have to wear glasses/contacts if dey weak so it's just such a hassle. Tho i do recognize their importance n stuff 😊

62. shorter or taller: ugh TALLER. im a pretty tall gal so for once id like to be da lil spoon for once, for someone to be able to carry me and ya know all dat jazz. But i wouldnt give up my height for anything, makes me feel confident and better than everyone else mwuehehehehehehe

63. older or younger: uuuhhh for now i think it's a bit weird to date someone younger dan me, but for me personally, wat age i'd like to be, YOUNGER ALL DA WAY. it was just way less stressful and innocent back den, id give anything to go back 🙍

66. troublemaker or hesitant: i am a hesitant troublemaker whahahahaha. Like i have all these ideas of thangs to do n sometimes i do dem but sometimes da situation n context scares me into not doing it like a wuss hahaha

HAVE YOU EVER:

67. kissed a stranger: haha nope.

68. drank hard liquor: haha nope but am looking forward to it hehe

69. lost glasses/contact lenses: thankfully i havent needed any yet whew

70. turned someone down: uhhh i guess the closest i came to "turning someone down" was being awkward around my crush haha but to be fair i think he was awkward too hahaha. And in an unromantic sense, i turned down a blockmate who offered to be my partner in an assignment becus i already had a partner hahahaha 😅

71. sex on the first date: haha havent experienced it if das wat ur askin. Maybe imma be dat kinda person after ive had a couple of relationships but for now i'll settle for someone actually being interested in me hahaha

73. had your heart broken: yes, by tv shows, and by da crappiness of life in general 🙇

74. been arrested: hahahaha nope but dat would be CRAZY hahaha

75. cried when someone died: yes, whether in real life or in tv shows, i have cried bcus of death 😢

76. fallen for a friend: look, man, my best friend's probably the most important person in my life who i couldnt bear to lose. I love her more dan anything in da world so i dunno if our friendship is something more dan da "typical" best friends i just know dat i love her n dat i dont wanna lose her n dat our bond's nothing like any other relationship ive ever had

DO YOU BELIEVE IN:

77. yourself: hahahaha not rlly 😅 im pretty unreliable tbh and i make tons of mistakes and ill never be enough ever and just in general hate myself and have 0 self esteem hahaha 😅😅😅😓

But there's a chance i could improve tho, a very very VERY small tiny chance... but i guess i'll take wat i can get :/

78. miracles: hhmmm not in da way most ppl think about miracles in dat, it's da impossible event. I like to think it's a miracle that i have the family dat i have, da friends dat i have, and da life dat i have cus honestly i think i'd be dead w/o em. It's a fucking miracle i have things im passionate about and things that i love and im surrounded by ppl who i love and who love me as well. So yeah, i guess i believe in those kinds of miracles :')

79. love at first sight: hahaha not rlly. Look, man, im a fat girl who doesnt rlly care dat much about looks so unless a person manages to fall for someone while dat someone was doing something dat was a huge indicator of their personality and thus it's not only da appearance dat da person "fell in love w/", den i rlly dont believe in love at first sight. It's just infatuation, bruh. Love at first sight is cheap and u dont rlly know any thing about dat person other than the fact that they're pretty (why they caught ur eye in da 1st place imo) and nothin, zilch. Unless, like i said, they were doing something important to dem n indicative of deir personality. But even then, it wouldnt be love. Like i said, it'd be infatuation cus imo love is deep and takes time and cant just HAPPEN just cus u looked at someone and thought he/she was pretty 😒. True love would mean knowing dat person to deir bone but wanting to know more about dem. So to conclude a ted talk from a bitter person w/ a non existent love life 😆😂😂😂, love at first sight doesnt exist, is cheap, and is discriminatory to "ugly" ppl.

80. santa claus: hahaha i know he probs doesnt exist and is u know basically just capitalism n marketing hahaha. But i dunno, man, i kinda wanna believe he exists just cus it's more fun n childlike n innocent 😍

81. kiss on the first date: hahaha yeah i guess so but i think i probs would have had to known dat person for a while before we decided to date. I havent had a first kiss yet sooo i aint just willin to give dat out to someone i just met/knew for like a day or something hahaha (i have no idea how dating works) 😆😂😆😂😆😂

82. angels: huh... i like to think guardian angels exist cus dat means there are like angels of pure light sent down from heaven to protect us from any harm w/c is just nice to think about, yknow? Hehe. But angels in da catholic sense... i dont think i do, bruh. Sorry :/ *shrugs*

OTHER:

84. eye colour: uuhhhh brown, i guess? Like i said, i dont rlly care much for eyes hahaha 😅 ooohh but da purple eyes thang ive seen on da internet sounds cool hahaha

85. favourite movie: aaaahhhhh there's just so many good movies thoo

((Continuation of this))

Now that Violet had time to think about this, the more nervous she became. Maren had a right to not care about her. To not want to talk to her. But she knew she still had to try. Maren was alive, she had to talk to her, no matter what. The train finally slowed outside of Golden’s train station after hours and hours since she had left, it had felt like days. She was going to see Maren again, part of her still couldn’t believe that. She scrambled up from her seat, swaying as she tried to run to the door. Soon she did, running out into Golden, where she was greeted with birds chirping, as well as a nice sunny sky. She looked up, smiling. It seemed so peaceful, it was perfect for Maren. The stars must be so amazing here.

Snapping herself out of her thoughts, Violet started to sprint around the town. One of these houses had to be Maren’s, right? The first house she saw was a white brick one with a pink roof. She squinted, it probably wasn’t Maren’s, she was never a fan of pink. But maybe this person could help her. So she ran up to the door, knocking frantically. Soon, the door opened, revealing a girl with deep brown hair and eyes the color of the trees that surrounded her house. “Hello! ...May I help you?” she asked. The girl squinted at her, as if she was trying to place her. Violet had always been told that she and Maren looked alike, did she see the similarity? “Do you know where Maren Cerulean lives!?” she asked quickly. She hadn’t meant to sound so intense, but all she wanted was to see her sister again.

The girl looked her up and down, her eyes turning dark. “Why are you here?” she asked. “W-why do you look like that!? Is Maren okay!?” she cried, her heart pounding again. What if something happened since she had delivered the painting? “Maren is fine. I need to know how you know her, and why you want to see her.” What should she say? Did this person know that Maren had ran away? She thought about lying, saying she was an old friend of Maren’s, but the thought of lying made her sick, butterflies flying within her. “I’m... I’m her sister. I don’t want to hurt her! I swear! I just want to talk to her!” she insisted, desperation in every word she spoke. If she didn’t let her see Maren she would never get her chance to see her in her new life. To see her happy.

“...You are Violet, correct?” the girl asked her. Violet’s heart skipped a beat with the mention of her name. How had she known? Had Maren talked about her? “Yes, yes I am! But I need to see Maren!” she cried. “Do you have any connection to her parents?” the girl asked next. “No, no. I left after Maren did. I hate them just as much as she does,��� Violet told her. They were horrible people, and she just wished she had realized it before Maren died-- left, she corrected herself. She was alive. “...Okay. You may see her. My name is Tae, and I am the mayor here, and I have been friends with Maren for a year now,” Tae gave a bow, leading her down the town’s path. “You’re friends with Maren!?” she asked, breaking out into a smile. Not only was Maren alive and living here, she had friends in this town too! “Yes! She is a very special person.”

Hearing this made tears appear in Violet’s eyes. But nothing would make her cry more than what she saw next. Tae had led her to the cafe, keeping her at a distance, but she saw her. She saw Maren, smiling and laughing with another girl with flaming red hair. She was so full of life, full of happiness. She wanted to run up to her, to talk to her, but she couldn’t bring herself to ruin the scene. “She’s... she’s so happy...” she whispered softly, holding her necklace out of habit, like she always did when she thought of Maren. Last time she had seen her, she had been so pale and almost lifeless, just barely hanging on. Now she was bright and lively, even her hair seemed to be brighter now. “Well, are you going to see her?” Tae asked gently. Violet nodded softly, walking in Maren’s direction, hoping that she would be happy to see her. Still, she prepared for the worst.

---

“I can’t believe Tae did that!” Maren laughed, holding the coffee she had just gotten. Cam had offered to help her get even with Tae after she spilled the fact that she had bought stuffed animals, and wow did she deliver. “Yep! She totally did!” Cam laughed back. As Maren was about to say something else, something bright lavender caught her eye, standing out in the field of orange flowers. She turned her head, at first she thought it was a tourist, and was about to compliment her hair. But as she came closer, ice ran through Maren’s veins. She stood completely frozen as a million thoughts ran through her mind. “Maren! Maren...!” her sister cried, running up to her. Maren stayed silent, just staring at her. Why was she here? How had she found her!?

“T-they can’t know! No, no, p-please!” she wailed, tears in her eyes. Her breathing picked up as she started to shiver. If she was here then they knew. They knew. They had finally found her. “No, Maren, please calm down, it’s okay! They don’t know, I swear on my life!” Violet insisted, crossing her heart. “T-they... they don’t?” Maren repeated, slowly calming down as she took deep breaths. “Who are you!?” Cam asked, stepping in front of her before she could reply. Violet stepped back, panic in her eyes. “I don’t want to hurt Maren! I swear! I just... I wanted to see her. I missed her. I... I can’t believe I can see her again, I promise I mean no harm, please just let me talk to her!” She had missed her? Still cared about her? But she hadn’t even said goodbye. She had said nothing as she slipped away that night. She had left Violet completely in the dark. So why... did she care enough to come here?

“I don’t care! I’m not letting her awful family near her!” Cam cried. “Cam... it’s okay. Let h-her talk to me,” Maren whispered. Cam turned, shock in her eyes, but she did step aside. “Okay. But tell me if you need her to go away!” she told her. Maren softly nodded at Cam, stepping closer to Violet. Violet gave out a tiny gasp, slowly reaching her hand out towards Maren’s hair, but then it was swiftly pulled back. “Maren... oh my God... Maren...” she whispered, tears in her eyes, her hands trembling. She couldn’t help but feeling like this was her fault. “I’m s-sorry! I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye, I should’ve! I j-just didn’t want you to stop me, I w-wanted to leave so bad...” she whispered, feeling tears stream down her face. Violet really cared about her, she didn’t hate her. Even after she had pushed her away all those times at the end. Why did she care so much about someone like her? About a runaway who left the one person who cared about her without a word?

“Please don’t blame yourself, please!” Violet cried, her hands shivering as she touched the necklace around her neck. “Wasn’t that... wasn’t that mine?” she whispered. It had been one of her favorites, she had never been able to find another one like it. “Oh my gosh, yes...! Please, take it back!” she slowly took it off of her neck, holding it out to Maren, who took it. “You kept that...? Did you r-really... miss me enough to keep this?” Maren asked, looking down at the sapphire star on its silver chain. “Maren... I’ve missed you so much. Every second of my life since you left, I’ve missed you... your voice, the way you would always get so excited about the stars, everything. Oh Maren!” she cried, hugging her tightly and breaking out into sobs. “I’m s-so sorry! This is all my fault! I-I’m so horrible, you shouldn’t c-care about me!” Maren wailed, hugging her back. She had done this. She had been living her nice happy life while Violet had been suffering. 

“Don’t say that! Please, you were so happy! I wanna see you happy!” Violet whispered, running her fingers through Maren’s hair. “But I s-shouldn’t have--” “--Yes, you should’ve. You did the right thing! You’re free now, and so am I. It doesn’t matter anymore, what matters is that we’re both together again!” she said, her voice becoming stronger as she pulled away from Maren. “We’re together again. We are. I can’t believe... we’re together again,” she whispered, staring at her as if she was some sort of miracle. Maren finally let herself remember all the happy memories they shared together. Everything she had been trying to forget for a year came flooding back. “I missed you too!” Maren cried, wiping the tears from her eyes. “You... you did!?” Violet asked in disbelief. “Of course! You were t-the only person... that ever cared about me back then,” she said softly. No, she wouldn’t let herself go back that far, just the happy memories. The moment she slipped back into that house in her mind was the moment she felt everything crumbling. She wouldn’t let it crumble. 

“Maren... if you’ll take me, if you’ll let me... I... I wanna be close to you. I want to be your sister again, if you’ll let me...” Violet asked quietly, her voice shaking. “S-since when did we stop being sisters...? We always have been. Even through this,” Maren said with a smile. It was true. Violet was the only part of her family that was worth staying in touch with, worth seeing. She was the one regret as she had watched the town she once lived in turn into a tiny dot through the train window. The one person she couldn’t bare to think about for long without overthinking what she had done. But now she didn’t have to anymore. Now she had everything good about her family and her life now, all together. “R-really?” Violet asked in disbelief. Maren nodded, hugging her once again. There was so much she wanted to ask, but she could always do that later. For now she just wanted to stay here in this moment for as long as she possibly could.

[askgolden]

Tae had been visiting here since it was built, but today, it felt so different. It felt real to her, not that it hadn’t before, but tonight was the night that it all started. She had planned it from the start, she would have a nice, fancy party before opening day. So everyone could see what the place looked like. Tonight, this place would turn from an idea to reality. She smoothed out the cloth on one of the tables near the center of the room, brought in for the party. Both of them had little snacks she had brought. Some she had made herself, some she had bought. She just wanted it to be perfect, she had invited everyone she knew. Her eyes glanced toward her watch, nodding. Maren should be here soon, and the others would follow. 

Hopefully Maren would be okay at this type of party. Tae knew she wasn’t one to dress up, and that was fine. As long as she was comfortable, that was all she wanted. Maren was the whole reason this was happening, anyway. As she was double checking to make sure she brought everything, the now familiar chime of the door rang in the room. Tae turned her head, and she couldn’t help but gasp as Maren walked in. “Y-yeah, it’s terrible, I know. I tried, okay?” she mumbled, looking down at her sparkling blue dress. The blue rose in her hair stood out to Tae, how had she gotten something so rare? “That is not terrible! Maren... you look beautiful!” Tae smiled, walking up to her, hoping she wouldn’t mind being called that. It was so unlike the Maren she knew, and the image she always gave off. “Y-you really think so?” she asked, blushing. Maren’s eyes drifted to the tables behind her, of course not being able to keep eye contact after the compliment. “Of course! I would have never expected this from you, you look wonderful.”

Before Maren could reply, the door swung open as Cam walked in. “Hiya guys! Tonight’s the big night, right? That’s totally great!” she exclaimed. If Cam was actually early to something, she must be excited about it. “Y-yeah, I’m just t-trying not to be too nervous,” Maren murmured, running her fingers through her hair to adjust it. Tae herself felt her nerves coming on, and was doing her best to push them back. This was the first moment that she truly owned something. Owning a place was much different than working for it, she could only hope she mastered it. “Aww, don’t be nervous! You’ll do great! You look awesome, by the way!” Cam giggled. Maren’s eyes brightened at that as she smiled. “She is right, we will do wonderfully,” Tae assured her. She nodded at her, and for a moment, she swore she could see just a tiny bit of confidence in her.

As the night went on, more and more people came in, but the trio never left each other’s sides. Mostly because Maren hovered around Cam, who in turn followed Tae everywhere. Which was fine with her, as long as they were happy, she was happy. “How are you doing?” she asked Maren as she reached over the table for a cup of tea. What was a party without tea? “...Surprisingly well. Of c-course I’m nervous and everything, especially i-in this dress, but... I can handle it.” Tae looked at her skeptically, wondering if it was just another of Maren’s signature ‘I can handle it’ cover ups, but she couldn’t tell. She was about to ask Cam, but she couldn’t seem to see her. She shrugged, she couldn’t have gotten too far.

“TAE! Tae!” Cam cried, running over to her. Her eyes were sparkling as she struggled to catch her breath. “There you are! Where have you been?” Tae asked jokingly. “You’ll never believe who’s here! I thought you didn’t tell her!?” Cam spoke quickly. Tae squinted, what was she talking about? Everyone she had invited was here, who else could there be? “Hello, Tae dear! This shop of yours looks fantastic!” Tae’s eyes widened she knew the voice as soon as she heard it. She spun around to find her own mother, at the opening of her shop. It was very hard to get Tae speechless, but now was definitely one of those moments. “W-what are you doing here!?” she gasped. Pure happiness spread through her, it meant the world to her that her mother was here to see this, but Cam was right. She hadn’t told her, so who had? By Cam’s surprise, she knew it wouldn’t be her. And with the way that she clashed with Maren, she doubted it was her.

“Well, I was invited here. I am so proud of you, Tae. I am sure both of you will do wonderfully!” her mother told her, her fingers gently touching the pink rose in Tae’s hair. “Thank you, thank you so much,” Tae told her, smiling brighter than she had in a long time. Hearing those words of approval meant everything to her. “But... how are you here?” she finally asked the question on her mind. She had thought of inviting her, but decided against it because of how she acting around Maren. Was she offended she wasn’t invited? “I believe it has to do with a certain someone I owe quite an apology to,” her mother answered, turning to Maren, who was still standing next to her. Maren seemed to be caught off guard, quickly glancing at Tae, saying nothing. “I was wrong to judge you, with how much you have helped Tae here. I know she would have never had believed in herself enough to do it without you, and your talent.”

“T-talent?” Maren whispered, staring at the woman in disbelief. What had caused the sudden change of heart? What had Maren done that her lecture didn’t? She supposed that was between them. They had to have talked alone, at some point. She wondered how much it had taken for Maren to set this up. To come here dressed up like this, and support her. “Yes, that is what I said,” she nodded, turning back to Tae. “I would offer my help, but knowing you, I know you won’t be needing it,” she told her. Tae smiled, nodding. She knew that whatever they faced, they could face it together. Even if it was hard at first. “Do... do you think that they will ever find out about this place? Do you think it will make them... regret it?” The question came spilling out before she could stop it. Tae had to admit, she thought about her old workplace more than she’d like to admit. Maybe her mother would have the answer, seeing that she worked there herself.

“I will make sure they do,” she smiled, putting her hand on Tae’s shoulder. “Just focus on your own success, and they will know about you,” she continued. Of course, and she knew she would be successful. At least... she hoped so. Where would she end up if they didn’t make it? She didn’t know. “Yeah, they’ll totally regret it Tae! It’s gonna be great!” Cam said, finally allowing herself to chime in. “She’s r-right. If anyone can pull it off, it’s you,” Maren murmured. “And you,” Tae replied instinctively, smiling at Maren. They were right, she wasn’t alone. Every work related thing she had ever done, she was alone in it. Cam would always support her, but Tae was the one that didn’t accept it as well as she should. She promised herself she would never let it happen again. She wouldn’t be alone this time, but with her two best friends. One working with her, and one supporting her just as she always had. There was always a chance of failure, of course there was. But it didn’t seem likely now, not with all this support with her. It felt a little cheesy, crediting friendship so much like this, but Tae couldn’t help but believe it.
