#obviously they get mated and have eight kids and live happily ever after

[stevieharringtonwifeguy]

omega cheerleader steve in his senior year of high school, walking up to the hidden table in the woods in his game day cheer outfit, looking for alpha eddie munson, local dealer. he asks for some weed, and eddie's like okay, thirty bucks. and steve's like oh no 😔 that's so much 🥺 i don't know if i can afford that 😏 but eddie's just sitting there like ???? aren't you rich???

and steve just. blinks at him for a second. tries again. 'oh man, i forgot my wallet, is there any other way i can pay you?' he says, biting his lip and looking up at eddie through his lashes in that way he KNOWS makes all the alphas go wild

'uh. no. come back when you have money man what are you talking about'

so steve sighs and completely drops the act like goddamn it munson im trying to get you to fuck me. and eddie's like oh. OH! why didn't you just ask then??? and steve blushes and looks away, mutters something about it not being what 'good omegas' do, and how he's so horny and eddie smells so fucking good with his chains and his rings and his tattoos steve's losing it

so they end up making out in the woods by the school, steve grinding down on eddie's lap with eddie's hand up his cheer skirt, both so far gone with lust that when they realise neither of them has a condom, steve just shrugs, tells eddie to pull out before he cums, because hawkins high values abstinence only sex education regardless of whether or not that works. so eddie bends steve over the table and slides in, and he gets so caught up in steve's pussy clenching around him when steve cums that he almost doesn't pull out in time, cum splashing against steve's still fluttering hole and absolutely drenching his entire pussy. but that's fine, he's pretty sure none of it actually got IN there, so they're good, right?

and they hook up another couple times after that, WITH a condom this time now that they know it's going to happen, and they enjoy each other's company so much that steve invites eddie to share his heat with him in a couple weeks. except. when the time comes, steve... isn't actually going into heat. which is fine, maybe it's just late. except, eddie points out that he's been pretty nauseous the past week or so, won't kiss him if eddie's been drinking coffee because he says the smell makes him wanna throw up. and now steve's panicking.

eddie calms him down, says there's no use freaking out if they don't know for sure. gets him a glass of water and a sandwich and tells him to finish them both while eddie runs to the nearest pharmacy to pick up a pregnancy test. the cashier glares at him when he checks out, severely judging the metalhead alpha buying like five male-omega pregnancy tests, but eddie barely even notices, head full of images of steve round with his pup, which yeah, he feels bad about given that steve is clearly freaking out. and he's ALSO kind of freaking out, because they're still in high school and he's a trailer trash drug dealer and absolutely not father material. but also. he likes steve so much. and thinking about being with him, having kids with him. it sounds so nice.

when he gets back to steve's house, steve has finished the glass of water but barely touched the sandwich. eddie hands the tests to him, reads the instructions out loud, stays in the bathroom while steve pees on the stick because the omega looked so lost and scared when eddie tried to give him some privacy. eddie distracts him by telling him about his latest campaign while they wait for the test to do its thing, and while steve is busy laughing about the tantrum gareth had thrown after the party spent two real life hours trying to open a door only to find out it wasn't locked in the first place, eddie quickly flips over the test.

there's two little pink lines. they're going to have a baby.

[earnestly-endlessly]

kind of an odd request — do you have fics where erik is grumpy with everyone else but a ray of sunshine with charles?

Hi anon, thank you for the ask. First and foremost, I'm so sorry for how long this took me but I've been searching for all the fics that come to mind that fit your request. Second, this is not an odd request because I love this trope so much. I mean, it's basically canon that he's grumpy with everyone except for his Charles, right? Anyway, I might add to this list later on, but I can't sit on this any longer and hope that you have found some fics that you enjoy!!

Fic Recs Where Erik is grumpy with everyone but a ray of sunshine with Charles

Twice as Blind – Darksknight

Summary: Erik is probably the biggest asshole on the face of the earth, and because of this, he'll probably die alone. Charles is a complete flirt and playboy and, probably, will never commit to anyone ever.

(The lesson here is that when you have two friends who are BOTH secretly seeing someone, well, it's probable that they're seeing each other.)

In the moonlight, on a joy ride – scarlettblush

Summary: Librarian AU. Charles is the young librarian and Erik is the college student who is completely besotted with him.

The Proper Care of Actors – Clear_Liqueur, Clocks, Etherei, afrocurl

Summary: Erik is an A-list action star who is notoriously difficult to work with, until the day he gets cast alongside Charles Xavier, rom-com darling who can charm the pants off movie audiences the world over and apparently even one Erik Lehnsherr. The paparazzi catch them out and about soon enough, and their real-life Hollywood movie romance becomes instant tabloid fodder.

Rumor Mill – ikeracity

Summary: Erik is the grumpiest, most foul tempered worker at Stark industries. His grumpiness is the stuff of legends.

So it's obviously the talk of the office when Erik is being made to go to the company party and he's bringing his husband. There's rumors flying round about how much of a masochist or equally antisocial bastard Erik's husband must be to put up with him. Others think he must be a meek mouse perhaps bullied by Erik.

What they weren't expecting was the confident, charming, adorable and unbelievably nice Charles that turns up on Erik's arm. What they certainly weren't expecting was how much Erik obviously adores his husband and how happy he is to let others see this.

Work/Life Balance – pocky_slash

Summary: Alex is pretty sure his weird, anti-social boss is a robot. Right up until the guy's adorable husband shows up. His adorable husband who happens to be a famous actor. His adorable husband who happens to be the very same famous actor who was the source of many of Alex's teenage fantasies.

Terrifying Domesticity – ishipitsobad

Summary: Erik is the most dangerous and notorious mafia boss around for miles, and yet the strangest things terrify him.

For example: his children, and his very pregnant mate.

Of kittens and teacups and love – Ren

Summary: Modern AU in which Charles and Erik are flatmates. Charles studies psychology and likes tea and chess and keeps bringing home stray kittens, and Erik lets him because he's maybe perhaps a little bit sort of in love with him.

Fools Rush In – LoveSupreme

Summary: Erik owns a cafe on the edge of campus and accidentally starts maybe-stalking a Biology Professor there.

Growing Pains – ikeracity

Summary: Twelve-year-old Erik Lehnsherr is an angry, closed-off foster kid with trust issues and a bad temper. Ten-year-old Charles Xavier is a lonely kid in boarding school who just wants a friend.

Logan pretends he doesn't think they're both fucking adorable.

Series

Home Together (The Finding Our Way Remix) – significantowl

Summary: Erik is not the sort of person other students strike up conversations with. His expression, his posture, every part of his manner say: Don’t talk to me. I don’t want to talk to you. But none of that stops the boy ahead of him in line with the collapsible white cane, and nothing can stop Erik from falling for him, like it or not.

Melted Ice Cream and Macaroni Art – pocky_slash

Summary: Everybody likes Charles. Nobody likes Erik. And that's really the source of Erik's doubts. Also, there's ice cream and a baby. Part of ‘the Daycare’ verse.

Walling in or Walling Out – stlkrchck

Summary: Erik stifles a sigh. Of course this is Mr. C. F. Xavier. Of course.

For the prompt: Charles and Raven are throwing a holiday party. Erik is the grumpy neighbor who is annoyed by how loud they are being. So he goes to complain, and Charles makes it up to him.

(Wise Men Say) Only Fools Rush In – wildelybroken

Summary: After reading a fic where Erik and Charles are super sluts, meet at what is presumably Raven and Emma's engagement party, and end up sleeping together, I made the following comment and just inspired myself.

"They start casually texting each other throughout the day, maybe while they’re bored or frustrated at work, and start out meeting up and sleeping together semi-frequently. And eventually they accidentally start dating without noticing it at first, not until Raven and Emma get them alone and are like “wtf you two super sluts are actually dating??” And at first they deny, but then they’re both like “holy shit, we are!” And they meet back at one of their places and they don’t have to say anything, they just look at each other and come together immediately, kissing passionately and ~making love~. In the middle of it they realise that’s what they’ve been doing for a long time now and they confess their love to each other and they live happily ever after because they deserve all the good in the world."

For Charles – Shigai

Summary: Tired of being told he has to find his 'heart', classical piano graduate Erik Lehnsherr decides to travel to Italy and drink from the famous Italian passion for music. While searching for it, he meets Charles Xavier, a graduate in Fine Arts who is basically travelling around the world perfectioning his technique, and who will turn his world upside down.

Together they will discover that, sometimes, what you thought you didn't need is what you needed the most.

Erik Hates People – Anonymous

Summary: Erik hates people- it's his rule, a way of living.

Sugar – humanitys_cutest

Summary: Erik glances at the clock for what feels like the tenth time in less than half the minutes. It feels like he's been in some meeting or other since the day started almost 10 hours ago, and he's had just about enough of listening to these pompous old men discuss what would be the best design for his building like they know anything about it. He tries as subtly as possible to massage his temples to assuage the building migraine, but he knows it's no use.

He just wants to go home.

Everyone Likes Charles – Rosawyn

Summary: '“Everyone who's met him likes him.” Cain's grin was even stupider than before. “Once you meet him, you'll see.”

It was almost like a challenge then. And damn. Erik hated saying no to a challenge.'

Still Going Strong – JackyJango

Summary: Speaking of forty-eight, Erik hates it. Hates it even more that others are aware of it. While he’s pragmatic enough to know and accept that aging is inexorable, the increase in number gives the people around him the freedom to pounce at him with questions, opinions and advice he'd fought to keep at bay all year.

Besides, Erik believes that youth is a state of mind, not a phase in one’s life.

You have a child’s mind in a man’s body, Charles constantly tells him.

But despite his age, Erik is healthy. He works out daily. His muscles are steel and he can dead-lift four hundred pounds. He can break bones without breaking a sweat. Most importantly, he can still carry Charles to the bedroom and fuck him senseless. And as long as Erik can do that, he’s perfectly happy.

All I know is pouring rain and everything has changed – hllfire

Summary: Charles meets Erik, the man he had heard about many times from his sister and some friends, on a rainy Sunday morning. The stories about Erik paint him as a distant and intimidating man, but Charles finds out that maybe the stories had been wrong.

How to Successfully Ruin Your Life – humanveil

Summary: Seventeen-year-old Charles Xavier accepts a job at his local café, expecting nothing more than a fun, new pastime. What he gets is a mysterious customer and a schoolboy crush.

Stolen – ishipitsobad

Summary: Erik is a miserable, grumpy, cantankerous bastard, and he has every fucking right to be. He drew the short end of the stick when he got the Underworld as his domain, and there isn't very much fun to be had in judging and governing dead souls who would rather be anywhere else but with Erik in the depths of Hell.

So when he meets Charles, brilliant and lovely Charles who is more popularly known amongst the mortals as Persephone, and feels the promise of something wonderful that could make his eternally doomed existence infinitely more bearable... you can bet all your drachmas Erik's not going to let Charles go any fucking time soon.

Erik Lehnsherr's Guide to Saving the Universe By Meeting Your Soul-Mate and Falling in Love in Less than 72 Hours – magneto, pangea

Summary:Army Pilot Erik Lehnsherr is just trying to enjoy his day off when a mostly naked person crashes through the roof of his car. Even more alarming, the strange falling naked person—who goes by Charles Xavier when he's not speaking an ancient dead language—brings tidings of the apparent potential end of the world, and begs Erik to help him put a stop to it.

Well. His mother has been nagging at him to go out and meet new people.

The Theory of Partnership Dynamics – Pangea

Summary: “Detective Lehnsherr, how wonderful to see you out on the job!” The fed in the front greets him as they draw nearer. He’s shorter than the other two by a full head, and he’s beaming at Lehnsherr as if completely undeterred by Lehnsherr’s paint-peeling scowl.

“What do the feds want?” Lehnsherr asks bluntly.

“You know I can’t tell you that,” the fed answers cheerfully. Then his gaze lands on Alex, and, impossibly, his grin gets even brighter. “Did you get a new partner?"

“No,” Lehnsherr says through his teeth while at the same time Alex says, “Yes.”

Happy 28th! Here are all the 14 fics I read and enjoyed this month. As always, all the love for all the amazing authors in this fandom! ♥

In The Still Of The Night | jacaranda_bloom | Dirty Dancing AU - a/b/o - prejudice - gender stereotyping - class divide - angst - pining - smut - 69k In a society where omegas are expected to follow a predetermined path, Louis strives for more; for his voice to be heard, for recognition, for true love. In a world where your past defines your future, Harry fights against the system; for equality, for a different life, for acceptance. When their two worlds collide, will they be beaten down by conformity or will they rise up and forge a new path together? OR the Dirty Dancing AU where Louis is a feisty omega who wants to change the world, Harry is an alpha from the wrong side of the tracks, and nobody puts Louis in a corner.

Plant New Seeds in the Melody | 28sunflowers | enemies to friends to lovers - miscommunication - misunderstandings - emotional hurt/comfort - Original Character Death - grief/mourning - slow build - smut - 58k After losing his husband in a tragic car accident, the last thing Louis needs is to keep running into popstar Harry Styles, who David was quite fond of. Obviously, that’s exactly what keeps happening. But as their unlikely friendship blossoms, Louis realizes that, maybe, having Harry in his life was the only good thing that came out of his adverse circumstances. Harry could be just the right person to help Louis find trust and intimacy in someone new.

take my hand, wreck my plans | amomentoflove | Cinderella AU - a/b/o - royalty - Minor Character Death - emotional abuse - magic - 38k Louis meets the man in the center of the room, feeling every eye on him. “Mr. H,” he whispers. The man smiles brightly and laughs as if he can’t believe his eyes. “It’s you,” he says breathlessly. “I didn’t think I would see you again.” “Nor I you, especially under these circumstances.” “Even so,” Mr H says, his eyes bouncing from Louis’ eyes to his lips. “Will you do me a great honor and join me in leading the first … um…” “Dance?” Mr. H laughs and nods. “Yes, that’s the one.” Louis bites his lips and doesn’t hesitate before whispering, “Yes.” Mr. H beams and reaches for Louis’ hand. Sparks fly at the touch and a zing of excitement shoots through Louis’ body. His face heats up as he’s afraid his scent would give away his feelings towards the other man.

One More Taste of Your Lips | Canadianlarrie & MsHydeStylinson | canon compliant - reunion tour - angst - internalized homophobia/biphobia - cheating - smut - Coming Out - 80k It had been eight years since the hiatus began, and Louis had spent that time writing and recording music, touring and making it safely through the pandemic. When the opportunity arose to go back on tour with One Direction, Louis knew he'd be a fool not to take it. Sure, life on the road would be different after all this time apart, but he was looking forward to experiencing that comradery again. What he hadn't realised was that living the better part of nine months in each other's pockets was bound to dredge up issues from his past. And when one of the pockets belonged to Harry, who he'd had a rather unconventional friendship with that drifted apart during their last tour, life on the road again would upend both their lives in irrevocable ways. * Harry wasn’t that sixteen year old boy anymore. Nor was he the young man in his late teens who was on the cusp of conquering the entire world. But some traits seemed to remain the same; his vibrant green eyes, the dimples set deeply in his cheeks whenever he laughed earnestly, or his curls that were the same shade of cocoa that Louis remembered fondly. And yet, Louis had absolutely no idea who this man that stood a mere twenty paces away was today.

Old Photographs & Times I'll Remember | jaerie | time travel - Eroda - period-typical homophobia - anxiety - depression - discussion about suicide - self-discovery - post-break up - 54k Carefully he set that negative down and lifted the paper to see there was another beneath. This one again was a young man, this time posed against an antique car. He lifted a few more negatives out one by one, each a portrait of the same man with various backdrops. The man in a meadow, in an office, leaning against a doorframe — even one in his underwear grinning at the camera. On the edge of each negative printed in slanted, handwritten characters were the initials and date. H.S. 1924. He quickly but carefully packed them back into the box and buzzed with excitement. He couldn’t wait to develop them to see exactly what had been captured in the images. It was a find that felt like a puzzle to piece together. H.S. was likely the man in the photographs as well as the owner of the suitcase. Who was he? Why had his suitcase found its way into Niall’s attic? Was he still alive and well somewhere in the world? A camera, a suitcase, and a relationship forged through time.

Know a Trick or Two | SadaVeniren | Harry Potter setting - mpreg - magic - kid fic - - genderfluid character - smut - intersex - 44k The night before Louis is scheduled for a Portkey to begin training with the Vratsa Vultures in Bulgaria he heads into Muggle London for one last night of fun. A few months later he finds out he’s having a child. Eleven years ago Harry had a one night stand and now there’s a strange man on his doorstep telling him his daughter is something called a wizard and she’s got a place at the British wizarding school Hogwarts. Aka the one where Muggle Harry and Wizard Louis have a one night stand and get more than they bargained out of it.

come away with me | suspendrs | Minor Character Death - friends to lovers - sexuality crisis - emotional hurt/comfort - anxiety - smut - 80k Louis had such big plans. He wanted so much out of life, and so did Amy. Now Bridget is going to grow up without a mother, and she’s always going to wonder what it would be like if this hadn’t happened. He wonders if she’ll blame him for her mother’s death as she gets older, or if she’ll understand that this is just as painful for Louis as it is for her. Louis doesn’t know how he’s going to raise her on his own, because he’s a fantastic father, yes, but he’s always been the fun parent, and Amy was in charge of the rules. He doesn’t know how to make sure Bridget has everything she needs all the time, doesn’t know how to make her favorite meal or how to do that one braid she loves to have in her hair or how to teach her to be the best person she can be. He doesn’t know how to live without Amy, he doesn’t know what he’s going to do. Or, Louis has to pick up the pieces of his and his daughter's life after his wife dies, and Harry is a beautiful stranger that just wants to help.

we made our promises (we said our vows) | millsx | Military AU - established relationship - kid fic - angst - hurt/comfort - mentions of PTSD - mentions of depressions - mentions of anxiety - injury - long-distance relationship - 21k Fairy tales always end with the Happily Ever After; the princess escapes her evil stepmother and gets married to the knight in shining armor. It turns out real life doesn’t care about Happily Ever Afters and sometimes problems appear when you don’t expect them to. Harry sure didn’t, not after years of being married.

Love, Ever After | jacaranda_bloom | a/b/o - farmers markets - soulmates - pining - miscommunication - fluff - banter - smut - 21k One would assume that the charismatic omega in charge of the local matchmaking service would have found a mate and settled down ages ago. His clients, in fact, are always a bit surprised when they come to learn that Louis is still single. But Louis doesn’t mind, not really. His standards are just high; he is happy holding out for his alpha, his soulmate, and chooses to not waste his time with anyone else, despite what his friends might think. That is, until his best mate from uni drags him out of bed far too early on a Saturday morning after a night of drinking to go to a farmers market, of all places. It’s there that he proceeds to make an utter fool of himself in front of the hottest alpha he has ever laid eyes on. There’s truly no coming back from that, is there? OR The one where omega Louis makes love matches, alpha Harry makes cheese, and meddling friends might finally make their dreams of finding their soulmate come true.

Hometown | allwaswell16 | High School - College/university - driving - heartbreak - memories - friendship - happy ending - angst - 2k On the day Harry gets his driver’s licence, he drives through the suburbs, heartbroken that he can’t drive home to Louis.

fever dream high | wildestdreams | friends to lovers - childhood friends - a/b/o - fluff - angst - smut - mutual pining - High School - 30k "Excuse me, what?" Harry licked his lips, carefully looking him in the eyes. "I will spend your heat with you so you're ready by Monday to play your game." "Harry," Louis began, suddenly at a loss for words. "I couldn't ask you to do that." "Why not? You just said you trust me." "You're my best friend. There's no one I trust more than you." "Then what's the problem?" "Well, friends don't usually help you through your heats or ruts, so excuse me for being a little skeptical." or A High School ABO AU where Harry and Louis are best friends and nothing more until things start getting a little complicated and they're faced with feelings they never wanted to confront.

We are the same, you run in my veins | 28sunflowers | a/b/o - non-traditional a/b/o- soulmates - wolves -pack dynamics - 4k When the time for Louis to become the Alpha leader of his pack comes, he can’t rise to the occasion for not being yet bonded. A series of trips to neighbouring packs in search of his soulmate is fruitless until he meets one of the other packs’ Alpha heir. Harry. The world seems to stop turning for a second and then it shifts, clicking into its axis. All the distress and wrongness he felt until that very moment suddenly disappears. Louis is finally whole. But two Alpha leaders from different tribes soulbonding is something unheard of before.

Divinely Blessed | thinlines | a/b/o - non-traditional a/b/o - established relationship - PWP - 17k “I heard you, Ni. But what do you mean?” “What do you mean what I mean?” Harry rolled his eyes as he shoved his alpha friend down onto a seat. “Did you mean you lick someone out or…?” “Nah, mate! It was me! I got licked out!” Harry could only stare at Niall in horror. Alpha Harry prides himself on having the bravest and most caring omega who might or might not just fulfill his sudden curiosity.

This chemistry like candy to me | CuckooTrooke | a/b/o - kink discovery - mpreg - male lactation - smut - 8k "It's just... Are you aware, that, uh... You're- You're kind of leaking." Harry feels his blood run cold. The heart that was thudding so loud and fast drops to his stomach, and his shoulders hunch in embarrassment. "Excuse me?" Harry asks once he manages to gather himself and recover from the shock. He automatically steps back but since he's already squeezed in the corner, it doesn't do much to put any distance between them, "Who the fuck do you think you are?" "Wha- No. Oh my god, I wouldn't- No," The man says as he realizes the misunderstanding, and wildly gestures to his chest, "I mean your- Your chest. Is leaking." OR Harry is 8 months pregnant with a poor balance and traitorous nipples. Unfortunately for him, that is precisely when he meets a beautiful alpha in a packed London Tube. Fortunately for him, the said alpha might just be the best thing he has ever come across.

The Courtship Of Jensen’s Co-Star{Masterpost} by qblackheart-  

Summary:- Somewhere in the time between a handshake and a hug, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki went from being reel-life brothers to real-life best friends, and complete strangers to cosmic soul mates, no rhyme or reason to it that either of them could ever see. Jared was everything Jensen was not: friendly, funny, and full of life; one in six-point-whatever billion the Earth’s population currently stood at. Life was awesome. Work was amazing. Everything was fine until Jared kissed Jensen. Everything was peachy until Jensen fell in love. With desperate times unexpectedly calling for desperate measures, Jensen called Chad Michael Murray for relationship advice – because being in love led to temporary insanity obviously – so it really didn't surprise him that he couldn’t seem to win when it came to wooing Jared. Still, Pisces must’ve been in a really good place in the night sky or something because suddenly, right smack dab in the middle of the miserable courtship of his co-star, Jensen discovered that maybe loving Jared was all he needed to do to win his heart. And luckily for Jensen, loving Jared was also the one thing he did best. ~112k~

The Play Nice Proviso{Masterpost} by qblackheart-

Summary:- When Jensen Ackles first met Jared Padalecki, it was most definitely not love at first sight. It wasn’t even like at first sight. In fact, Jensen hated him, and he had a few good reasons as to why. So what if his new co-star was oblivious to his one-sided warfare? Jensen could deal. Apart from when he couldn’t. So when it came down to picking between Padalecki and his peace of mind, the choice seemed clear. Except for the fact that The Network had his balls in a vice, leaving him stuck with Supernatural, stuck with his idiot co-star, and worst of all, stuck with a ‘Play Nice’ Proviso added to his contract. Well, he could play nice. He would play so nice that the world was going to think that he and Jared Padalecki were the bestest friends in the history of best friends. It was unfortunate then that no one had ever told Jensen what happened when an immovable object met an irresistible force; no one had ever thought to mention that there was a thin line between hate and love; and nothing, absolutely nothing, could have possibly prepared him for Playing Nice with Jared Padalecki. ~70k~

My Heart Don’t Beat The Way It Used To by Raina_at-

Luckily for Jared, he and Jensen have always been closer than other siblings, making his feelings seem a little less hopeless.

That’s when Chad and Sandy decide to convince Jared that moving on and letting go of his feelings are the only way to get through his lost love for Jensen.

You were swimming across the sea without a worry in the world when you spotted a man in the near distance. He was obviously in trouble because he was screaming for help and was possibly on the verge of drowning. 

You could see that he was a skilled swimmer because he was still fighting against the odds but judging from the swirling water around him, the problem was of a different nature. He’d gotten caught in a very dangerous whirlpool. You could see a giant ship further away but unfortunately, it would be impossible for anyone to come in time to help the drowning man. 

You sighed to yourself because you had been warned against getting involved with humans. You didn’t want to end up like your distant cousin who’d been turned into sea foam, because of her feelings for a human. But you couldn’t exactly watch someone die right in front of you. So, you swam towards the drowning man. 

Once you reached him, he’d already been submerged under the blue. You dived right into the whirlpool fearlessly and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him towards the surface. He was pretty heavy but you did your best to save him. As soon as you had gotten him out of the whirlpool, you began swimming towards the giant ship, hoping the other humans would take him off your plate. By the time you reached it, the man had regained consciousness.

“Did you just…save me?” he asked quietly.

“Don’t mention it,” you responded.

“Can I know the name of my saviour?” the man inquired.

You didn’t reply and just kept knocking on the wooden lower half of the ship, hoping the other humans would take him in so that you would get rid of any unnecessary human drama.

“That won’t work,” he chuckled and started screaming, “Yah, Joong, come get me, you ass!”

“Wait, you know someone on this ship?” you asked in confusion.

“Duh, I fell from here. Well, I got thrown out, more specifically.”

“Why would you want to come back, then?” you were even more confused.

“It was as a joke. I bet they didn’t expect me to fall into a whirlpool,” the man explained.

“Ah, I see.”

You were suddenly interrupted by a man on the ship who was rushing to help.

“Oh my God, Hwa, I’m so sorry!” he threw a rope into the sea and the man you’d saved grabbed it.

“Are you coming? I need to properly thank you for saving my life.”

“I c-can’t,” you whispered and looked down apologetically. The man still hadn’t realized what exactly had saved him.

When he finally noticed your tail, his eyes widened in shock.

“I have to go,” you murmured quickly and dived back into the sea.

“W-wait,” the drowning man spoke but it was too late. You were already gone.

☠️☠️☠️

Seonghwa’s POV

I climbed up the rope and was greeted by the captain’s tight hug.

“Dude, are you okay?” Hongjoong asked me in a worried voice. “What happened?”

“I’m fine. I swam away for a bit because I was mad at you for throwing me overboard as a joke. I didn’t expect to fall into a bloody whirlpool.”

Hongjoong shook his head.

“I didn’t mean for any of this to happen, you have to know how sorry I feel. I was so worried…”

I smiled fondly.

“Yeah, you should have thought about that before throwing my ass-“

“Who was she?” Hongjoong interrupted.

“She…saved me. I think she was a mermaid,” I informed him.

Hongjoong stared at me in disbelief.

“Mermaids aren’t real, man.”

“I saw her tail, Joong. She was very much real. And remember that story about the prince from the kingdom nearby?”

“It’s just that,” Hongjoong argued with me. “A story. Not real.”

I disagreed with him.

“I know what I saw, man.”

“You must be exhausted,” Hongjoong thought I was making this up. And it was honestly frustrating that he didn’t believe me.

“Didn’t you see her? She was right there!” I was beginning to get aggravated.

“It was just you, Hwa. You swam back on your own.”

“But…you just asked me who she was?!”

“No, I didn’t,” Hongjoong denied his own words. “You should get some sleep.”

Well, he was right about one thing. I was on my last legs and needed to go to bed immediately.

“Fine. But we’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” I said, determined to get to the bottom of it.

☠️☠️☠️

Hongjoong’s POV

Okay, so maybe I lied. I had indeed seen the mermaid. But in my defense, I was trying to protect Seonghwa. Everyone knew the story about the mermaid who had given up her life to be with a human prince. Everyone knew she was eventually turned into sea foam. But nobody knows what really happened to the prince after that. When he found out what had happened to the mermaid, he was overwhelmed with grief and ended up killing himself. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to my first mate, my best friend, Seonghwa. I didn’t want to risk him falling for a mermaid. I didn’t want to lose him. But I had a feeling he wasn’t going to let this go.

The next day, of course, proved me right.

“Hey, Captain, we heard you almost killed our beloved first mate last night,” Wooyoung said casually during breakfast.

I gave him a deadly glare to shut him up.

“Yeah, Cap, what’s that about?” San, the treacherous son of a bitch quickly defended his boyfriend’s stance. “Hwa told us you threw him overboard and then he was saved by a mermaid!”

I frowned at Seonghwa for being so quick to share everything with the crew.

“Relax, guys,” Hwa laughed easily. “Joong didn’t mean to kill me. But the mermaid part is very much real,” he pointedly stared at me.

“Just drop this already, will you?” I scolded him, exasperated by this whole mermaid story.

“Damn, I wish I was awake to see that!” Yeosang chimed in eagerly.

I rolled my eyes.

“She had really long hair and her tail was glowing. She was really beautiful,” Seonghwa spoke dreamily, which was making me even angrier.

“Yah, you must have not seen a girl in too long,” I couldn’t take it any longer. Mermaid this, mermaid that, it was too annoying! “She wasn’t that beautiful!”

“Ha!” Seonghwa laughed triumphantly. “I knew it! You saw her too, didn’t you? You were lying last night!”

Fuck. I’d exposed myself. The crew looked at us suspiciously, assessing the situation.

“Fine, I saw her,” I confessed reluctantly. “Will you let it go now? Mermaids are nothing but trouble.”

“And us, pirates aren’t?” Seonghwa scoffed sarcastically. “Just admit you’re jealous.”

“Ooh, Mom and Dad are fighting!” Wooyoung snickered, which earned a couple of quiet chuckles from Yeosang and San. These little bastards were living for drama.

Seonghwa and I gave them an angry look simultaneously, which immediately shut them up.

“Not jealous, just worried. You don’t know the full story about that prince…” I started.

Hwa’s brows furrowed.

“You said it was just a story,” Seonghwa called me out on my bullshit once again.

“I’ll tell you everything. But not in front of the kids.”

“Come ooooon,” Wooyoung whined. “We’re old enough to know!”

I shook my head and grabbed Seonghwa’s hand, pulling him away.

☠️☠️☠️

Seonghwa’s POV

“What do you mean the prince killed himself?” I asked in horror. “I thought the asshole lived happily ever after with some princess.”

“That’s what his parents want you to believe. They were too ashamed to let the world know the truth,” Hongjoong explained patiently.

“And how do you know the truth?” I eyed Joong in suspicion.

“Because I am the one who found his body and buried him.”

“That’s…impossible, Joong,” I argued passionately, because he only knew part of the story. He didn’t even realize I knew more than he did.

“Why? Because you want to believe in fairy tales?” Hongjoong was growing tired by my stubbornness to drop this subject.

“No, because I am the prince from that story,” I finally told him what nobody else on that ship knew.

“You’re delusional,” Hongjoong laughed. “I buried the prince. And he looked nothing like you.”

“That’s what I wanted people to believe,” I said coldly, paraphrasing his earlier words. “I’ll tell you everything if you promise not to ask any questions until I’m finished. Can you do that for me?”

Hongjoong nodded unwillingly.

“Once upon a time, I was travelling with my parents, the king and queen, across the sea. But after a fight with them, similar to my fight with you yesterday, I foolishly jumped into the sea. But I was younger, then, not at all skilled at swimming. I began to drown. Until a mermaid saved me. We fell in love at first sight and spent a week together in a secret bay. She promised she’d find a way to turn her tail into legs so that she would be with me. I believed her and returned to my parents. When she found me again in the castle, she had lost her voice. It didn’t matter to me and I promised I’d marry her. But my parents were strongly against it. They wanted to get rid of her. So, they bribed the sea witch with treasures and turned my love into sea foam. The stories are all lies. My mermaid didn’t die because I didn’t love her back. She died because I did. When I found out what my parents had done, I was so miserable I considered ending my life. But I knew I had to live for her, I wanted to avenge her death. So, I tricked the sea witch. I told her she could have my kingdom on one condition – she had to transform her body into mine, making herself into an identical twin. She asked what I wanted in return and I came up with a stupid explanation that I just wanted to die but didn’t want my parents to be miserable, which is why she would come as a replacement to me. The witch’s greed was so grand that she believed every word I said. As soon as the transformation had been completed, I killed her. Well, myself. That’s what I wanted it to look like. And I wanted my parents to suffer for me the way I had suffered for my love. But I couldn’t get arrogant and risk being found out. So, I located a good-hearted wizard and asked him to change my face into something different. I told him my story and he didn’t want anything in return. He took pity on me and just wanted to help me. Thus, the explanation as to why the corpse you buried looked nothing like…the way I currently look. When I was stealing fish from that port market where you found me, I decided to start anew. To forget everything and move on. But last night, when that new mermaid saved my life, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my old love, of the past.”

I fell silent, expecting Hongjoong to ask me a million questions to check the validity of my story. Instead, he fully believed me and asked something unexpected.

“Why…why are you telling me all this now?” Joong whispered and in that moment he looked nothing like the terrifying pirate king I’d first met.

I shrugged.

“You’re the one who brought up the real story. I couldn’t let you go on thinking it was the truth.”

“When I asked you to come on board that night…were you planning on ever telling me?”

“No,” I admitted. “I was intending to carry this secret to my grave. But I trust you, Joong. And it was eating me inside.”

Hongjoong sighed deeply.

“Damnit, Hwa. How am I supposed to deal with this, huh? You’re a bloody prince, the very thing us, pirates, are sworn to steal from.”

I smiled.

“That’s what you’re worried about?”

“What do you suggest?” Hongjoong spat angrily. “Worry about the mermaid? Everything I’ve ever known about you was a lie.”

I grabbed his face.

“Not everything, Joong,” I looked into his eyes. “The way I feel about you hasn’t changed. It’s as real as freaking mermaids, man.”

Hongjoong blushed adorably and pressed his forehead against mine.

“What do you want me to do?” he whispered fondly.

“Aren’t you the one giving the orders on this ship?” I teased him.

“Shut up,” Hongjoong laughed. “Tell me.”

“I want to find her,” I said truthfully.

“I’ll help you.”

“You don’t have to,” I reminded him.

“I want to,” Joong insisted.

“Together, then?”

“Always.”

-

Being friends with the boys is difficult but so worth it. They all are like family to you. You were fourteen when you first met Harry. Okay sure, he wasn’t the most popular kid back then but he had his fair share of fan following even then. He has always been a charmer. Always liked entertaining everyone and it was literally impossible not to love him.

 After two years, when One Direction was formed on The X Factor, you then thought that maybe this was it. You would lose your best friend to fame and money, but that didn’t happen. He actually introduced you to the boys, and all the boys immediately loved you and hung out with you whenever you were in town for their small gigs. You were so proud of them that it caused great despair in your heart when after six years of being together they were going their separate ways to achieve things in the solo industry. Yes, you totally agreed that the boys needed a break, but that didn’t mean that it didn’t hurt.

 Now came in,  your feelings for your longtime best friend from Holmes Chapel.  After eight years of knowing him, which three of them were spent loving him from afar and supporting his every one of his relationships, you finally feel that it’s time to tell him about your feelings.

 “He feels the same way, love. I can assure you that. The guy literally can’t go without seeing your face for even a proper month.” Louis tries to explain and encourage you to go up to Harry’s front door and knock on it. He’s been trying to convince you to tell Harry about your feelings before it’s too late. You sigh and look at him.

 “Are you sure, Lou? I mean he hasn’t even given any hints that he might-”

 “I’m hundred percent sure. Now go in there.” he lightly pushed your shoulder, indicating you to get out of his car. “I’m waiting right here, if you need me, ey?” You nodded once more and gave him a grateful smile. He smiled back at you and nodded his head toward the door. “Best of luck, love. Not that you need it.” you laughed and shook your head at him. You got out of the car and walked up to the front door, slightly shaking with nerves.

 -

 That’s why you are in front of his house knocking on his front door. You look down to your feet, waiting for him to answer. The door opens and you look up with a smile, but the smile instantly drops when your eyes meet the pretty eyes of the unfamiliar blonde in front of you. She smiles at you and pulls you in.

 “You must be YN! Oh my gosh, I’ve heard so much about you. I was dying to meet you.” she exclaims. You are in too much of shock to say anything, and flinch when she yells out to call her babe.

 “Babe! Hurry up, look who’s here!” she runs to stand near the end of the stairs. Harry walks downstairs slowly with a pout.

 “What’s with all the squeals, hun.” he asks her. He wraps his arms around her, not even noticing you at the entrance of the living room. Your heart breaks observing their interaction. The way he is looking at her is different. Unlike any other times you have seen him with a girl. She giggles and pulls his face to her by cupping his cheeks in one of her hands and turned his head towards your direction. His eyes met your impassive ones.

 “YN?! What the in bloody hell? What are you doing here, angel!” He runs to you, excited to see your face after two months. He has been away to Jamaica, recording for his new album. He has been very busy, not even having time to call you once in awhile. Only a rare text message once in a blue moon. But apparently he wasn’t too busy to find someone to date during his time away. “C’mere you..” he pulls you into a tight hug. Before you could even wrap your arms around him he pulls away from you and extends his free hand to pull the girl closer to the two of you.

 “Babe, this is YN, remember? I was talking about her-” he goes to introduce you but the blonde cuts him off with a eager nod and wide smile.

 “I know I know! This guy right here couldn’t wait for me to meet you. He’s been talking about it forever.” she laughs. You give them a small smile. Harry is too busy staring at the girl beside him to notice your quiet exterior. You looked down at your feet for the second time in fifteen minutes, a nervous habit of yours. You let out a mute and sad laugh at your own expense. What were you thinking? Harry could never have feelings for you. He was one of those guys who would confront you about his feelings. He was honest and kind. So if he ever had feelings for you, he would’ve told you about that. How could you be so foolish? He is way out of your league. You never stood a chance with him.

 So for the sake of saving you from the embarrassment, you put a wide real/fake smile on your face. You are used to it now. You always used it when Harry introduced you to his new girlfriend. It was real because all you wanted was him happy, so you were really happy if he found someone worthy of him. Fake, because everything in you, especially your heart pains like a open stitch.

 “Well mister, when were you planning to introduce this lady to me?!” you laugh and looked at them. He smiles and blushes.

 “I was planning to this weekend, but you fucking surprised me by this visit.” He looks at you and studies your expression for the first time after your entrance. You looked genuinely happy for him. That’s what he loves the most about you. Your selflessness. Always making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Even strangers. He shakes out of his trance and looks back at the girl beside him, “This is Ella, m’girlfriend.”

 Your heart stings one more time, but you keep your smile and nod at her, “Hello, Ella.” you say in a playful formal voice and extend your hand to shake hers. She once again smiles wide at your acceptance and shakes it right back. It is definitely impossible to hate the girl. She is  bubbly and lights up the room, she is everything the boy you loved deserves. She is everything you wish you were.  

 “It’s great to meet you, YN.” she pulls you into hug, which you return but shortly pull apart after seeing Harry’s smile. “I’m really hoping that we get along and be good friends.” she tells you.

 You keep your smile intact and you nod your head frantically, “Of course..Of course!”

 She squeals and Harry laughs before wrapping his arm around her shoulders, you instantly look away.

 “I should get going.” you blurt out.

 He looks back at you just in time for you to look back at the pair of two in front of you. He frowns, “Already?! You just arrived… At least have lunch and go, angel.” he says. You scrunch up your nose a bit, and shake your head in denial. At that he looks at you in ridicule. “What that expression o’yours? This is bonkers! You just arrived, YN-” This was the first time you are behaving like this. But you have to get out of this house before you break down.

 “Harry, I actually just came to say hi. I heard you were back in town and I thought I should stop by. I have work to attend, mate.” You sass. He feels a bit of remorse. He knows he hasn’t been in contact with you a lot and both, you and him have noticed it but chose to ignore it for unknown reason.

 “Well..” he replies and look at you expectantly. Waiting for you to call your workplace and tell them you will not be coming in today, but that is not going to happen. Not today.

 “Well, I’m heading out now. “ you look back him copying his expression for the fun of it. He goes to shake his head but you beat him to it, you look back at Ella. “It was really great to meet you, El. El.. is it okay if I call you that?” you chuckle.

 She nods happily, “Yes! Everyone calls me El as it is.” You give them one more tight-lipped smile and walk towards the door, you hear Harry whisper something to her, and not look after he is falling your footsteps.

 “You can wait you know that.” He wraps his hand around your shoulder in a friend like way obviously. You look at him and sigh, he is looking right in front of him as he walks you to the door.

 “Of course I know that, you knob. But I seriously just came to say hi and remind you that your best friend still exist.” He snaps his head at you instantly and whines.

 “I’m sorry, angel! I know I’ve been neglecting you but I plan on making it up to you.” He humps and kisses your temple and opens the door for you.

 “I’m counting on that, mister.” you tell him. He clicks his tongue and you and winks before pulling you into a tight hug. The hugs lasts longer than normal but you pull away and smile at him once more, “See you around then.”

 He rolls his eyes at your words but abruptly stopping when his eyes land on the familiar car waiting outside his house in his driveway, “Lou?” he looks back at you in confusion. You follow his previous gaze and see Louis in his driving seat, looking down at his phone, yet to notice the two of you.

 “Oh…. he’s just dropping me off to work.” you lie. He raises one of his eyebrows at you.

 “I thought you drove here.” he chuckles in confusion again.

 You nod, “I did.. I drove here with him, H.” he forms his mouth in a o shape then forming a pout.

 “What happened to your car? If you needed a ride you could’ve call me, y’know? I could’ve driven you to your workplace.” he shrugs. You look at him with a weird expression.

 “And how was that possible? I surprise visited you, in case you forgot, H.” You chuckle and shake your head. He forces a chuckle right after you.

 “Right…” he looks back at Louis’s car and suddenly yells out to him, causing you a fright, “Hey, you dickhead!”

 Louis snaps his head at the voice and lands his eyes on the figure he smiles and rolls down the car windows. “Ello, lad! Everything good with you?” he yells back. Harry nods and Louis returns with a thumbs up, then he reads your melancholic expression before her quickly comes up with an excuse for not getting out of his car. “I would get out to hug you the shit outta yeh, but I’m running a bit late and I’m too lazy!” He said loudly.

 Harry shakes his head at his other best friend. “Oh sod off, you lazy arse!” and watches you walk up to the car before bringing his hands inform of cups to the corner of his mouth before yelling out once more to the guy sitting in the car, “If you’re trying to replace me in her life, you can forget about it, mate!”

 Louis lets out a loud laugh and raises his middle finger at him before pulling his car out of the driveway and Harry watched it back out then going back in.

 Back in Louis’s car atmosphere was tensed. He knew things didn’t go the way you two had planned. He wanted to ask you but not before give you space and time to recollect yourself. So he just took a hold of your  free hand which ways flat against your seat, in attempts to give you support. You looked at him and he looked back at you with a comforting smile. You rested your head against his shoulder accepting the comfort as you tried to forget the pain in your heart in the silent car ride.

Anna Saunders wasn't the most religious person out there. Sure, when she still lived with Mama she went to church and Sunday school alongside her sister, and never questioned a single thing they taught her. That had been easy. After all, the phrase "the faith of a child" is a phrase for a reason.

It was a good deal harder for her to hold onto complete faith in a God who would allow Anna's beloved family to split apart when she was just a little girl, and to keep her entirely separated from her sister and best friend, Elsa, from grade eight onward. Not impossible, but harder. While she still believed in God and the Bible, when her Papa took her with him away from their home in Toronto to the smaller, far-away city of Winnipeg, she no longer had the unshakable faith she held as a girl.

Therefore, Anna surprised even herself when she signed up to be a counselor at Peterhouse Bible Camp, well over six hours away from home. She needed the money, the job paid enough to make it worth her time, and she liked kids. But she was dreading all the religious indoctrination she had been able to avoid for the past five years. Especially given how much her beliefs had changed.

But her father had a secret smile in his eyes when he first handed her the pamphlet, promising that if she went, she would not be disappointed.

So there she was, a duffel bag slung over her shoulder as she followed after another eager counselor named Rapunzel. She was guiding her towards the dorms that she would call home for the next few months.

"You're really gonna love it here," Rapunzel gushed, cheeks bunched and eyes alight with excitement. "These kids really need to be fostered to Jesus, and like, where else is a better place than here?! And there's so many fun games, and activities — and wait until you see the lake! It's gorgeous!"

"It sounds wonderful!" Anna gave the other girl a warm grin. Her cheer was infectious and the more Rapunzel spoke, the more pleased and excited Anna became about taking this opportunity. She beamed and hoisted her bag a little higher. "Me and my sister used to go camping at a lake with our parents all the time when we were little. I've always wanted to go back again! Is there canoeing or kayaking in the event plans?"

"Is there ever!"

The two chatted on as they walked. She was practically buzzing by the time they reached the cabins that housed the campers, eager to meet her dorm mate and the group of kids they were supposed to keep an eye on.

"...and lanyards, of course," the other girl was still rambling. "I mean, how is it even camping if there's no lanyards?! But my fave is macrame." Then she brightened and hopped up and down. "Oh look - it's Aurora! She's the head counselor and she's- well, look at her!"

Anna glanced over in the direction Rapunzel was looking and felt her cheeks heat up in response. The woman was stunning! With long blonde hair and warm, honey brown eyes. She was kneeling in front of a small girl, speaking softly to her, but she looked up and smiled at the two younger counselors briefly.

"Wow," Anna breathed. "She's… really pretty! And she seems nice. I mean, n-not that I can tell from all the way over here."

"You have no idea! When I first started here last year, she was the one who took me under her wing, and… I mean, I just can't say enough good things about her. A true Christian, and she's so good with the smalls! And nice to pretty much all the other counselors!" In a quieter voice, she added, almost to herself, "Not like that other girl…"

Anna looked over at Aurora again, watching as she patted the girl's head gently before sending her off. For a second, she pondered on what Rapunzel said about the woman being a true Christian and wondered if any advances she made would be met with disdain. In the end, she dismissed the thought; it would be too much of a potential problem to ask her directly.

"What other girl?" Anna asked instead, having just barely caught the whisper. She furrowed her brow slightly. "Is it someone I should watch out for?"

Blinking, Rapunzel looked over with a vaguely-embarrassed smile. "O-oh, nobody! Gossiping is a sin, right? I'll let you meet people on your own, maybe you'll feel different if I don't tell you a bunch of stuff first." Then she glanced down at Anna's paperwork. "Counselor cabin four, huh? This way."

So Anna trailed after her, deciding to change the subject if it made the other girl uncomfortable. "Hey, Rapunzel… you're a pretty devoted Christian, right? How do you feel about… certain things? Like dating and stuff? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Well… I do have a promise ring Flynn gave me," she said with a slight blush, flashing it at Anna. "We're still not sure we're like, ready for all that, or interested, or anything… but, um…" Obviously, this was a hard thing for Rapunzel to talk about; she seemed to want to say a lot more but thought it would either be burdensome for Anna, or that it wasn't "Christian" to keep talking about her almost-boyfriend.

"That's a really pretty ring, " Anna praised awkwardly, noting the discomfort still gracing her new friend's face. She nervously brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and scrambled to pick another topic before she spotted a sign with a large black "4" and she let out a silent sigh of relief. "Well I guess this is my cabin; I'll see you around!"

"Right!" she called back as she turned down the landing, most likely to find her own cabin. Her cheeks were positively aglow with excitement. "See you around, new friend! Ohhh, this is gonna be so much fun!"

Anna waved as she watched the other girl walk away. "See you tomorrow!" she called after her and giggled as she turned to the door and pulled out her key.

"She's nice," she commented happily to herself. She was enjoying herself so far and was very excited to meet her new roommate, especially if she was half as nice as Rapunzel was. Without further delay, she pushed the door open…

Only to halt in the doorway, her face draining of all colour as she leaned against the door to support her suddenly weak knees.

Her roommate's shirtless back was facing her; smooth expanses of snowy skin that was only slightly covered dark blue straps of a bra. A bra that she got a full view of when her roommate turned and revealed her perfect breasts and flat stomach that Anna just couldn't look away from.

"Oh… my God."

"What? Who's there?!" The voice was muffled from being on the other side of thick cotton, of course.

"I'm so sorry! Oh my god, I'm sorry! I-I didn't think!" Anna quickly covered her reddening face in her hands while turning her back to the other before she could get a proper look at her face. Her own face felt like it was in an oven as she kept rambling apologies. The memory of the boobs was so fresh, she couldn't think straight!

Which made sense, because she wasn't straight. She had several crushes on both boys and girls over the years, and had even dated a lovely French exchange student named Esmeralda, who still took Anna's breath away when she thought about her. Most of the time, she embraced her sexuality, but once in awhile, it presented a problem such as this.

After another moment of struggling, the stranger was able to pull the shirt the rest of the way over her head. "You really ought to knock before you… burst in on someone when they're… oh."

As Anna's face continued burning, she finally uncovered her it and risked a glance over her shoulder. Only to be knocked off her feet a second time.

"E-Elsa?"

At odds with the order of things, the taller, blonder girl chose that moment to cover her bare chest with her arms, blinking her long lashes in complete shock. Her plump, pink bottom lip quivered a few times before she managed to croak, "What the- Anna? Wh-what are…?"

Her previous embarrassment and brief arousal was completely forgotten as Anna flung herself towards the older sister she hadn't seen in years, grabbing her into a tight embrace and pressing her face into Elsa's shoulder.

"Elsa! It's really you! I haven't seen you in forever! I-" She felt so overwhelmed in her pure elation at seeing her sister again that all she could really do was snuggle into the older girl and try desperately to hold back happy tears. "I missed you so much!"

"You missed- how did you get-" For a few more seconds, Elsa sputtered and stood there, not quite embracing her back but neither pushing her away. One hand did fall to the crest of her red head, caressing it for just a moment.

Then she gently pushed Anna backward by her upper arms, gazing down at her with bewildered blue eyes. "Wait, wait. Anna, what do you mean that you've missed me? I thought... you didn't want to see me anymore."

Anna stared at Elsa in disbelief, her eyes misty with unshed tears. "Wh-What?" She frowned at her sister. "What made you think I didn't want to see you? I tried calling every week up until last year! Mom always said you were too busy to talk to me… so I stopped calling, but I still wrote letters and you never replied to them! I even tried going to visit once but you were out of town! Why would you think I no longer wanted to see you?! If anything, I honestly thought it was the other way around…"

Pale eyebrows drew together on the elder sister's forehead. "What are you saying? I never got… Mom never told me about a single letter or call, not for the past few years. She said…" Her eyes went flatter, and she took a step backward away from Anna. "She told me that you and Father weren't… that neither of us could trust 'sinners' like you. I didn't want to believe her, but when the calls stopped coming, and you never visited anymore…"

Anna's lower lip trembled. "Why did...Why wouldn't Mom pass my messages on?" She whimpered, feeling dread and hurt like a punch in the gut. "Why would she say that about us? Papa said he only stopped visiting because Mom told him to… and I wanted to visit, but Papa only had enough extra to send me the one time and you weren't there, anyway!" She glanced at the wall, all of her previous elation having evaporated. "Why didn't you try calling us instead? Why wouldn't you get the story from us first before believing that me and Papa are horrible people so easily?"

"And you think I had any reason not to trust my own mother? The one who stood by my side, raised me and provided for me? Was my entire family after you two ran off to the west?!" Her chest was heaving, and after a moment she glanced down at herself before turning back to the suitcase that stood open on one of the two beds in the small room, catching up an official camp polo shirt. "You… I can't believe that. Right about now, I think you would say anything to convince me you and Father didn't completely abandon us."

"You honestly think I wanted to leave?!" Anna demanded. "I was five, Elsa! All I knew at the time was that Papa was going away and I didn't want him going alone! I didn't want to leave you or Mama but if I didn't, Papa would have been all alone! And it got even worse when the visits stopped completely five years back!" She shook her head. "I just don't understand why Mama wouldn't tell you about all the times I tried to talk to you! Besides, why would you pin all this 'abandonment' stuff on us when you and Mama never made any effort to come and see us either?! That isn't fair, Elsa!"

"Enough!" The shout was sharper than her voice had been before, but once the shirt was down over her head again, she took in a long breath and let it out slowly. "Enough. Listen, we… I don't know what you're doing here, or why, but… let's just try not to get in each other's way for the next month. Alright? I… I don't want to end up resenting you any more than I already do."

Anna stiffened at the cold words but she simply straightened her back and moved to pick up the bag she had dropped at the entrance.

"F-Fine," she managed to choke out, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She moved over to her own bed, placing it down roughly before digging through it in a vain attempt to keep herself from looking over at Elsa. She felt tired, sad and hurt and she knew she would break if she saw her sister's chilling eyes again.

'At least we don't have to start working with the kids until tomorrow,' she thought bitterly when Elsa swept from the room without another word. What once looked like a fun few months had now soured from a single conversation.
