an analysis of the dance of death murals in act 3 of pentiment
So I finally finished the game last night and it absolutely wrecked me :') the Chapter House scene in act 3 left a huge impression on me and since I couldn't find much on the deeper meanings of the murals Andreas drew, I tried to analyze the symbolism and what they each represent :) I'm not an expert by any means so if anyone has more insight on something I haven't mentioned please feel more than free to add your own thoughts, I'd love to see them
#again guy's is a personal interpretation based on my first impressions so if you don't see my point of view that's completely fine#and im not saying that in a bad way his jewish heritage can tie into antisemitism at that time period and the accusations that came with it#and martin luther writing on jews and their lies during when the game is set……yea#i can go on forever about this game i cant wait to play through it a second time#pentiment#andreas maler#lorenz rothvogel#ottilia#sister matilda#prior ferenc#lucky steinhauer#otto zimmerman#martin bauer#hanna bergeryn#brother guy#brother guy of dijon#sister matilda of kempten#pentiment spoilers

Pretty Please? (Lia Wälti x Catley!Reader)



“Y/n, I said no” Lia frowned.
“But Lia, angel, baby, beautiful, love of my -”
“No” she repeated, throwing her head back in frustration that you would not stop.
“It’s not fair” you huffed, slumping onto the couch with your arms crossed as she stood over you in a similar position.
“It is absolutely fair. I already have a golden retriever to look after with you. I can’t look after another dog” she smirked. A low blow, but she was absolutely right. You definitely fit the stereotype of a golden retriever lesbian that followed after her girlfriend everywhere and always had bundles of energy.
“But I’ll look after him” you pouted. She looked at you like she was debating it for a minute, she sometimes found it hard not to give in to you. “Pretty please?” you smiled hopefully, like you thought she was about to give in.
“No” she groaned again, leaving the room and going into the kitchen, clearly not finding it that difficult to say no to you right now.
“This isn’t fair” you said again with a huff, loud enough that you knew she could hear you, but in a tone that wasn’t stroppy enough for her to think that you were actually annoyed.
“Life’s not fair” she mocked you back. “Come help me Schatz” she shouted as you quickly got off the couch and sauntered into the kitchen. She turned to look at you as you walked through the door. You were pouting like a sad little puppy. “Come here” she sighed when she noticed your sad face. You were much taller and bigger than Lia, but she thought you were the cutest little thing to ever live.
“I just want a dog” you shrugged and she cupped your face. She knew you wanted one so desperately, but she just couldn’t bring herself to think of having a puppy right now. Especially while you were both nursing bad injuries.
“More than you want dinner?” She smirked, trying to lighten the mood as you rolled your eyes. You wrapped your arms around her waist and placed your chin on her shoulder while she cooked you both dinner. This was your job while she cooked, to just stand there with your arms around her and tell her how pretty she was and how much you loved her. Although, you’d added that part into the job description yourself. She would often feed you over her shoulder, some chocolate or whatever ingredients she was throwing in to your dinner, like cheese or chopped up peppers she had to spare.
You and Lia had been happily together for four years, and had been living together for three and a half of them. You moved in during COVID, after you both didn’t want to spend the proposed two week isolation period alone, and never moved out. You’d become too used to being together every day to ever even think of moving out now. You both liked your routine together and you were head over heels in love with the Swiss girl, even if she wouldn’t agree to get you a dog. You were currently both injured and going to physio on a regular basis at the Arsenal training ground. Lia had hurt her ankle and was out for the rest of the season, but you were pushing hard to be back for the Olympics, that you and your Aussie teammates had qualified for. You’d been following through on the recovery process of a bad back injury.
You had enjoyed the last international break, just you and Lia going in and out of physio appointments and then having the rest of the day to relax. You loved that she walked around all day in your hoodie that was far too big for her, and how you’d both spend all day cooped up on the couch when you got home.
However, this international break was different than the last one. You were back running now, but Lia was nowhere near that stage of her recovery. You had to do a bit more training during this window, while she still got to hobble in and out of physio. Usually you would piggyback Lia into the physio room and it would cause the physio to give you an earful about your back. You still couldn’t lift weights or kick a ball yet, but you were able to run, which was exciting.
It had been awhile since you were last in Australia, to see your family and mates. You luckily had your sister, Steph, here with you in London though. But you missed your Aussies at home. Lia was in the same boat with her family and friends in Switzerland, but she was significantly closer to home than you were. She’d noticed your mopey self was out a bit more than usual lately, and knew it was down to your lack of time at home and the upcoming international window that you still weren’t fit for. You usually spent every second you could when you were in Australia catching up with your friends and family. They all loved Lia too, the few times that either you’d brought her home, or they’d been over to visit you. Lia was good for you. She was kind, and thoughtful, and knew you were just a hopeless, big, softie that loved her so much, and she loved you back just as much.
With you and Lia, it was love at first sight. You’d signed for Arsenal a year after your older sister. On the very first day you were at the training grounds, when Steph introduced you to Lia, you nearly tripped over your own two feet when the Swiss girl smiled at you. Steph figured it out pretty quickly that you liked Lia, despite you not telling her. And she knew Lia liked you when Lia simply told her that she liked you. Steph gave you the big sisterly push to ask Lia out, and you’d been together ever since.
-
You had the day off today as everyone was leaving for the international window. You moped around all day yesterday, saying goodbye to your teammates and trying to hide how annoying it was that they were talking about seeing their family and friends. It pissed you off when you heard Caitlin and Kyra talking about their plans to head to the beach the second they got there. You tried to find Steph to say goodbye and give her something to give your mum and dad that you’d got them for their wedding anniversary, but you couldn’t see her anywhere. You thought maybe it was a sign to keep it for them yourself when you saw them in Paris in a few months.
You had been messaging Lia, who had stayed at home today, all day, telling her how annoyed you were about not being able to go home to Australia. The reason you couldn’t find Steph was explained later that night when you got home. Lia, being the most thoughtful girlfriend to ever exist, decided to call in a favour with your older sister, which actually was a win-win for everyone. Once Lia had explained the plan, Steph of course agreed as she was more than happy to help cheer you up in anyway she could. Lia had been trying her best all day to cheer you up, but knew what she had in store for you this evening would brighten your spirits.
She knew that her plan was definitely going to work when you were cuddled up on your couch and started teasing her.
“You know what would make this better?” You smirked as your girlfriend thought she was catching your drift. She moved as if she was about to straddle you before you decided to speak again. “If we had a little, teeny, tiny, puppy right here” you gestured to the minimal space there was between you.
“I hate you so much” Lia groaned as she pushed herself off you and walked towards the kitchen to start dinner. You shortly followed suit, laughing at her all the way in, getting ready to carry out the big role you had to play in the dinner preparations. You heard the front door bell and Lia squirmed to get out of your hold when you squeezed her hips tighter to stop her leaving. “Keep your eye on this” she said, handing you the wooden spoon as you looked at her, stunned.
“Wait baby, what am I suppose to do?” You shouted back, cluelessly looking at the sizzling pot. Her lack of response led you to use your own initiative and you just started harshly jabbing the contents of the pot with the spoon.
“Hey” Steph smiled when Lia opened the door. “You are both life savers” she squealed.
“It’s honestly fine. Y/n is going to freak out” Lia laughed. “Come in. Hi buddy” Lia smiled, patting Calvin’s head and letting them both walk in ahead of her to the kitchen.
“Hey girl” Steph shouted as she burst through the kitchen door.
“Hey Ste- oh my god, Calvin” you dropped to your knees to be face to face with Steph’s dog, who loved all the attention you gave to him whenever you saw him.
“Babe, our dinner” Lia tutted at you, annoyed that you’d just left it to practically burn and rushed over to start stirring the contents of the pot again.
“Baby, Calvin” you teased playfully, fully lying down on the ground now, playing with the big fluffy dog.
“Okay, so, I usually walk him twice a day, he’s fed around 10am and - Y/n, are you listening?” Steph asked, placing her hands on her hips.
“Oh Calvin, who’s the best boy? Do you want treats? I have so many treats for the bestest boy in the whole wide-”
“Y/n” Lia snapped, and that tone of voice Lia could turn on would always knock you out of what you were doing. “Steph is speaking to you” she told you, pointing her spoon at your sister.
“Walk him twice a day, feed him at 10am and 6pm. Don’t over do it on the treats and make sure he sleeps in this bed, and this bed only” Steph informed you, dropping the dog bed that was in her hands onto the ground.
“What are you talking about?” You frowned, standing up off the ground now as Calvin pottered back over to his mum.
“We are watching Calvin while Steph goes back to Australia” Lia informed you, watching your eyes bulge out of your head.
“Calvin is staying here?” You asked.
“Yes”
“With us?”
“Yes”
“In our house?”
“Listen, if it’s too much I can always ask Sam and-” Steph said, trying to stop the flow of questions being fired at Lia.
“No, no, no. We can watch him. It’s cool” you coughed, trying to keep your shit together.
“Okay. Thank you both so much again. I’ll see you both when we get back” Steph smiled and gave Lia a hug.
“I’ll walk you out” you said, leaving Lia in the kitchen and letting Steph say goodbye to her baby boy before you both walked towards the front door.
“You okay?” She asked emphatically, knowing that even though you were excited Calvin was here, and you and Lia could chill for the next few days, you still longed to be going with her to the airport.
“Yeah” you nodded, folding your arms across your chest and becoming suddenly interested in looking at your socks.
“It’s going to be so soon until you see them all again” she sighed, pushing into your much taller frame for a hug.
“Just miss ‘em’” you shrugged, and eventually wrapped your arms around her.
“Don’t think they don’t miss you too” she mumbled against your shoulder. You stayed wrapped up in the comfort of each other for a little bit before you pulled away.
“Enjoy your flight with Kyra” you smirked as she rolled her eyes.
“She’s a bloody pest that girl” Steph laughed. “I want daily updates of your nephew” she added, wagging her finger at you as she stepped outside the door, bidding you a final farewell before you shut it behind her. You let out a sigh, which you wish was a scream. You wanted nothing more than to just be going home, but all that left your mind when the big fluff ball took a run and practically threw himself against you.
“Come on, let’s go help your auntie Lia make dinner” you cooed at the dog, who trotted after you towards the kitchen.
-
Minding Calvin was a piece of cake. You usually didn’t handle responsibility well, burning dinner, turning whites into any other colour when you put a wash on. But a dog was somehow something you stepped up with. You’d just brought Calvin for a walk, and had left his bowl full of food out for him when Lia trudged down the stairs. You could just about manage to make toast and coffee, and you made sure you made that for you both every morning.
“Morning, my-” Lia began before she was stopped by a loud squeak. She looked down to see the floor was practically covered in dog toys. “I can’t remember all of these being in Calvin’s bag?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Well, um, me and Calvin were on a walk this morning and um, we found this shop” you began to explain as Lia frowned at you. “He’s just such a good boy” you shrugged and dropped down to squeeze his face. She tip toed around the toys and you pulled her up to sit on the counter, handing her the plate and mug. She kissed you gently to say thank you, before you pushed yourself away. “Couldn’t go by your favourite shop without getting you these, though” you smiled, producing a bunch of flowers that you’d already put in her vase. She giggled in excitement and pulled you close again, setting down her breakfast on the countertop. She wrapped her hands around your neck, and her legs around your waist. Both of you were too wrapped up in your lazy morning kisses to notice that Calvin was propped up on his hind legs, eating Lia’s toast straight off the plate.
“Calvin Catley” Lia groaned loudly against your lips, shooing the dog away as he ran off with the toast.
“I’ll make you more darlin’” you smirked at her annoyed, scrunched up face, watching on at the dog munching her breakfast.
-
As the days of dog sitting Calvin ticked on, Lia couldn’t get over how organised you’d become. You’d really stepped up while you had your fluffy house guest over, and since you’d gotten injured, she had never truly seen you happier. It was like anything that could have went wrong with Calvin, you were magically right behind him to clean it up, fix it, or replace it. Lia liked seeing you being responsible for a change and couldn’t quite get over that all it took was a dog, that wasn’t even yours, to do the trick.
-
You were on the couch, asleep, when Lia got in from physio. There was no training today due to everyone starting to arrive home from camp.
“Y/n?” Lia called, and when she got no answer, she knew you were having a nap on the couch, which was a very common occurrence for you. She found your big, tall, sleepy self to be cute enough as it was. However, adding a dog on top of that, snuggled into you, made it a thousand times cuter. She quickly snapped a photo and sent it to Steph, who was on her way over to collect her son.
The knock at the door didn’t wake you, but instinct of who it was, woke Calvin. He instantly plodded to the door and began dancing as he could start to pick up Steph’s scent.
“My baby boy” Steph squealed as Lia opened the door to reunite them.
“Ssh, Y/n is asleep” Lia shushed the Aussie captain and beckoned her inside.
“That picture was so cute” Steph giggled as both of them made their way into the kitchen, not before they both poked their head in to check you hadn’t woken yet, which you hadn’t. Lia swears a bomb could hit the house and it would barely make you move in your sleep. “I hope Calvy wasn’t too much trouble” Steph smiled, patting the dog’s head who was beside her as the pair sat on chairs in the kitchen.
“He was the best boy at cheering Y/n up, definitely” Lia smiled back, also giving the dog a gentle squeeze of affection.
“You need to get her a dog” Steph laughed as Lia rolled her eyes with a giggle. Steph waited awhile, accepting Lia’s multiple cups of tea, trying to see if you would wake so she could thank you for watching Calvin, but you never woke up. Steph eventually had to cave to her tiredness and jet lag and headed home, not before adding the photo Lia had sent her to her Instagram story.
When she left, Lia headed up to get changed before she nestled in beside you on the couch. She put on a TV show she was independently watching, and she’d just gotten through an episode when you squirmed awake.
“Oh, hello” you chuckled, pressing a lazy kiss on her cheek as she smiled and pushed closer against you. “When did you get home?” You mumbled tiredly.
“Hours ago” she groaned playfully.
“Does that mean Calvin is gone then?” You asked as you felt the girl nod against you.
“Steph said she’ll come by tomorrow with him to get all of his stuff that was in here. We didn’t want to wake you” she whispered, kissing your cheek. “Come on, let’s go start dinner”
“No” you groaned, pulling her waist against you tightly. “Comfy” you mumbled, causing the girl to laugh.
“Will we order in then?" she asked and you nodded, handing the girl your phone to put the order in.
-
A few days had passed and Lia noticed you were gone a bit mopey again. Steph was overwhelmed with the amount of toys you’d bought for Calvin and labelled you as the best auntie ever. You just weren’t allowed to tell Beth that she’d called you that.
You kissed Lia goodbye as you headed off to training and she stayed home due to not having an appointment today. During the worst part of her injury, you’d been doing most of the cleaning jobs at home, as she was off her feet. But now that she was at a good stage where she could clean, her plan for the day was to scrub the entire house. Only, when she started with the living room and found one of the toys you’d bought for Calvin under the armchair, her mind started racing. She knew getting you a dog would make you so happy, but it brought so much chaos. You’d always need someone to dog sit when you both were on international duty, or at an away game, a puppy would destroy the house and would definitely eat Lia’s toast every morning. Was that a lifestyle Lia really wanted to get into?
She stood inspecting the toy she was holding for a little while. She remembered you and Calvin playing with this specific one on the third night he was over. She thought about how happy you were in that moment, and in all the moments that you had the dog in your house. How could she ever stand in the way of you being that happy?
You got home a bit later than usual, Beth and Leah had an issue with something that apparently only you could fix and it needed to be done right away. You knew the pair were up to something because every time one of them would speak, the other was trying to hold back their laughter.
“Baby?” You shouted, coming through the door and dropping your gear bag down while you simultaneously kicked off your shoes.
“In here” she called back and you knew the sound came from the kitchen.
“Sorry I’m so late. Beth and Leah had some issue with their-” you said as you walked towards the kitchen and swung open the door. Lia had asked the pair to distract you and keep you out of the house for at least another hour or so. “What the - Lia” you whispered, dropping to your knees to be instantly pounced upon by the tiniest puppy you’d ever seen in your life.
“So, I decided you were right. A teeny, tiny, little, puppy would definitely make cuddles on the couch better” she giggled, cupping your face.
“It’s ours?” You asked so softly it was like you were afraid if you spoke louder that the puppy would break. It occurred to Lia only then that even though she got the puppy for you, that it was adorable you instantly referred to it as both of yours. She nodded at you with a smile as you leaned over to kiss her. “I love you so much”
“I love you too” she said, kissing you back gently. “What do you want to call him?” She asked.

I see you all saying that Sirius is the pretty much the only one with 'Reg/Reggie' nickname privileges and I raise you: The obligatory sibling-assigned stupid nickname that nobody else uses bc he already goes by a better nickname everywhere
Most people can get away with shortening his name to 'Reg' bc of laziness/simplicity (he gives up trying to correct them after a while) and a few friends and family can manage a 'Reggie' in the right situation (it's thin ice though) and at some point Sirius decided he wanted a stupid nickname to use when he chose to be annoying bc why did everyone just settle for the easiest one?
Enter: Lulu and Regsy. Possibly the two dumbest nicknames there are.
Literally nobody else uses them bc 1) they sound ridiculous, 2) he'd hex them, and 3) who would even think of such silly nicknames?
Sirius uses them though. Not frequently, he usually says Reg like everyone else or full names him when he's angry.
But when he wants to mess around? Suddenly it's' Hey Regsy, can I ask a favour,' 'OI, LULU LMAO' Obviously Regulus finds it INSUFFERABLE. Whenever he hears Lulu (he HATESSS this one) he knows he's gonna get something thrown at his face or he's about to be bullied into an early grave. When Sirius pulls out the faux-sweet little 'Regsy' he's being asked to cover for him or lend him something. He is forever glad the names don't catch on with most people.

Finally biting the bullet and writing Derry Girls nextgen content mostly for @areseebee because I feel like if I impress her than I win at the arbitrary goals I set for myself and so I designed them and I wanna know what people think of their designs.
There’s more designs I need to do (Sienna - Michelle’s stepdaughter for example, Sister Michael’s annoying great-niece Salome and Matilda’s little sister Dolly, etc.) but these four functions as my protagonists for the snippet I’m working on.
Matilda is James and Erin’s oldest daughter - a lovable bossy control freak who doesn’t like to be perceived but very much likes to be right about everything.
Jason is Jenny Joyce’s son who is an American who moved back to Derry cause he is a wealthy-latchkey kid and needs structure she can’t provide - he’s a bit of a mouth and may or may not be into Matilda.
Cleo is Orla’s daughter with David Donnelly (not in the picture but pays child support) and she’s a passionate, full of herself wannabe artist kinda a lot like her Aunt Erin.
Elsie is Kerry Coyle’s daughter and also looks a bit like a hamster like her mother and she’s a space case often buried in her books but that’s good because if she pays attention to what her friends get up to she’d have a panic attack.
-
Mostly if they’re decent and if you have any ideas for them just based on the short amount I’m talking about in this post.
#derry girls#james maguire#erin quinn#jerin#james x erin#Orla McCool#David Donnelly#Jenny Joyce#bonus info: Jenny Joyce’s ex-husband is like Rich Rich#also bonus info: Clare is never having kids in this#also also bonus: Michelle only has the one stepdaughter and she’s an adult when this all happens#triple bonus: Matilda has two siblings - Dolly is relevant - Joseph is basically Baby Anna 2.0#Cleo also has a half-sister Phoebe and her Da is Chris from the prom episode#also Matilda may or may not like Jason back but she’d rather die then let him know#because she refuses to be perceived so it’s a secret even to her that she might fancy him back#little freak /affectionate

Ok I know I made my “Cherry is Matilda by Harry styles coded” post, but honestly, so many people in the outsiders are Matilda coded. So here is my incomplete list of people that are Matilda coded:
1. Cherry (Soda POV)
2. Two-Bit’s sister (Johnny POV)
3. Steve (Soda POV)
4. Marcia (Two Bit POV)
5. Paul (Darry POV)
#I will gladly elaborate on any of those#but heavy on the first three#and the POV would be the person singing the song#the outsiders musical#the outsiders broadway#the outsiders#matilda harry styles#cherry valance#two bits sister#steve randle#marcia meyrink#marcia the outsiders#paul holden

Cooney-Crush My Heart (Charli Grant x Cooney-Cross!Reader)



For the purpose of this story, reader and Katrina lived in London a year before KCC and Charli
You always loved that football was something you shared with your sister. Both of you were now playing professionally in London. She’d just signed for Arsenal, while you’d been playing for Chelsea for just over a year. As well as that, you both played for the Australian national team. While the Australian cohort in London was constantly growing, somehow you ended up best friends with the England defender, Niamh Charles. She was your best mate, and you’d decided to move out of your rent-a-mum, Katrina’s, house and in with Niamh, after living with the older woman for the entirety of last season.
“One of my children is fleeing the nest then?” Katrina teased when you told her the news. You could only laugh with a nod. “Lucky, there will be room for Charli and Kyra now” she smiled.
“Charli is moving to England too?” You asked, rather quickly.
“Her transfer to Spurs just went through” Katrina informed you. You were the oldest of Katrina’s adopted kids. You were the one she trusted to have serious conversations with. The one she trusted with Harper, her actual child, the most. Her mum instincts were unmatched, and that’s how she knew the minute you and Charli were introduced that you both liked each other. You were quiet, unlike your younger sister, so she never thought to bring it up with you and make you awkward. “Harps, come say goodbye” Katrina shouted. The little toddler came running towards you, immediately demanding to be picked up.
“I’ll see you soon, kiddo” you pressed a kiss to her cheek and let her down as she ran off giggling “Thanks for everything” you said as you hugged Katrina.
“I still expect you to follow through on babysitting duties” Katrina smirked as you laughed.
“Anytime you need me” you smiled.
It was your actual mum that made you collect Kyra from the airport. But your sister had just failed to mention that a certain blonde would be with her and also needed a lift.
“You didn’t tell me your sister was coming” Charli punched Kyra as she caught you standing on your phone at the arrivals gate.
“My sister is here?” Kyra smiled, rubbing her arm from where Charli had just hit and looking around to try and spot you. “Y/n” Kyra shouted when she found you standing against a wall scrolling on your phone. You looked up with a smile, a smile which quickly turned to a look of anxiety when you noticed Charli beside her.
“Shit” you mumbled as you somehow managed to lift your hand up to wave to them. Kyra practically jumped into your arms, making you laugh before placing her back to the ground.
“My big dopey older sister” she chuckled.
“I am not the dopey one out of us too” you teased back, before looking to the blonde.
“Hi” Charli smiled.
“Hey” you smiled back, opening your arms for her to fall into, which she did. “I’ll take them” you said, pulling her suitcases, and only her suitcases, towards the exit.
“Wow thanks Y/n, don’t worry about me” Kyra shouted as you laughed.
“You’re both staying with Mini then?” You asked as Kyra and Charli both nodded.
“Don’t tell me we’re sharing a room” Kyra teased.
“God no” you laughed. “I moved in with Niamh” you explained as you slipped Charli’s bags into the boot of the car.
“Oh yeah, your girlfriend” Kyra teased while Charli’s smile quickly dropped off her face.
“Kyra how many times? She’s not my girlfriend” you rolled your eyes before finding Charli’s through the mirror. “Niamh is just a mate” you nodded before pulling your eyes towards the road. You pulled up outside Katrina’s house, helping the two, well Charli, carry her bags in. You hadn’t seen Katrina or Harper in a few days so you went in to say hello.
“All of my kids coming in at the same time” Katrina exaggerated a smile as the three of you walked through the door. “Harper look who’s here” she shouted as the toddler came running. She ran by Kyra and then Charli before jumping into your arms.
“Hello monkey” you laughed putting her up on your shoulders. “Kyra and Charli are here too, did you say hello?” you squeezed her legs as she waved to both of them. Charli looked at you in awe with how you interacted with the toddler.
“Where’s mummy?” Kyra asked the toddler who pointed towards the kitchen that Clara was in cooking dinner.
“Go tell mummy that we’re here” you told the toddler as you placed her carefully down on the ground and she ran off towards the kitchen, dragging Kyra with her.
“Are you staying for dinner then?” Katrina asked as you checked your watch.
“Uh” you hesitated.
“Stay?” Charli asked as your head shot up.
“Yeah, uh, yeah. I have time” you nodded. “You can take my old room. It’s bigger than the other one” you smiled at the blonde as you took her bags upstairs.
“Again, thank you Y/n” Kyra shouted from the kitchen before running after you with her own bags in hand.
“Stay?” Katrina teased in Charli’s tone of voice once you had both left ear shot.
“Shut up” Charli groaned.
“That is no way to speak to your mother” Katrina smirked. “If you wanted, I could talk to Kyra about-” she began.
“No, no. There is nothing to talk about” Charli shook her head.
“What? No! I want that room” Kyra shouted from upstairs.
“Piss off” you shouted back.
“Go help your other mum, I will sort this out” Katrina pushed Charli towards where Clara was in the kitchen before she went up to break up you and Kyra fighting. You had your little sister in a headlock when Katrina got to the top of the stairs.
“Let me go” Kyra demanded as you laughed.
“Little baby Kyra gets the little baby room” you teased with a smirk.
“Y/n, enough” Katrina huffed as you instantly let go. She wasn’t your real mum of course, but boy was she just as scary. “You, go downstairs” Katrina pointed at the staircase and looked on as you quickly jogged down. “You, put your stuff into that room and be down for dinner in the next five minutes” Katrina frowned as Kyra stumbled into the smaller bedroom with her bags.
You slid into the kitchen to find Charli standing alone. Clara had gone to get Harper changed and had squeezed your face gently as you passed each other in the hall.
“I didn’t know you were moving to London” you said to the younger girl, as you both were setting the table.
“It was a spur of the moment kind of thing” Charli giggled to herself.
“I can see why you and my sister are friends” you chuckled.
“London just seems so big” she gulped as you nodded.
“I definitely thought the same, but you get used to it” you shrugged.
“Maybe you could show me around?” Charli hinted.
“Yeah, absolutely, sure” you agreed, in three different ways. Charli wasn’t too sure how to react. She hadn’t expected you to say yes.
“Oh, um, great” she nodded. The rest of the family piled in as you plated up the food. Kyra pushed by Charli to sit beside you as the blonde sat opposite you, watching you and Kyra subtly kick each other under the table. You’d headed home straight after, back to you and Niamh’s place.
“That you?” Niamh shouted.
“If you is me, then yes” you called back making the girl laugh.
“You have dinner yet?” She asked.
“Yeah, I ate at Katrina’s” you nodded.
“Aw, mummy made you dinner?” She teased as you punched her in the arm. “How’s your sister?” She asked.
“Annoying as ever” you shrugged with a laugh. “Actually, Charli is here too” you mumbled as Niamh’s eyebrows shot up.
“As in Grant? As in your sister’s best friend that you are in love with?” She smirked.
“Shut up” you groaned.
“Sorry, I meant your sister’s best friend that you are secretly in love with” she whispered in a more sarcastic tone.
“I’m never drinking around you ever again” you laughed. It was a drunken night after you’d won the league that you told Niamh you really liked Charli. You thought she’d be too drunk to remember, but she’d brought it up just about every day since.
“Are you ever going to tell her?” She asked.
“No way” you shook your head. “Kyra would flip and anyway, it’s just a stupid little crush. She doesn’t like me that way” you shrugged. You’d just sat down on the couch with a mug of tea, and Niamh with food, starting to watch an episode of the show you were watching together when your phone beeped.
Charli
Hiiii
It was so nice to see you today!
Want to take me sight seeing tomorrow?
Y/n
Hey
No.
Charli
Stop being annoying
Y/n
The first sight you can see is my house
Charli
Fine
See you at 8am 😏
Y/n
Do not come to my house at 8am Charlotte Grant
Hello
Charli?
I’m serious
That is still night time.
Fine I’ll see you at 8am
You’d never been one for mornings. Early morning starts last season consisted of Katrina physically pulling you out of bed. But now, Niamh had taken over that job. But you got yourself up this morning to see Charli, and Niamh thought she was seeing things when you arrived into the kitchen at 7:30am.
“Am I dead?” She asked.
“I’m going out” you informed her.
“I just can’t believe you got yourself out of bed” Niamh laughed. “Are you meeting someone?” She asked.
“Yeah, Charli” you replied as she smirked and began to say something. “Don’t start, it’s too early” you huffed as she remained quiet. Niamh was the one that answered the door when it knocked, an equally nicely dressed Charli stood on the other side.
“Hey, you must be Charli” Niamh smiled.
“Yeah, it’s Niamh, right?” Charli said as your best friend nodded.
“Y/n is just in the living room. I think she may have fallen back asleep” Niamh laughed. “Be my guest at waking her up. It’s a daily struggle” Charli walked into the living room, where she found you asleep sitting up on the sofa.
“Y/n” she hummed softly while she gently rocking you.
“Mmm?” You mumbled.
“You still okay to come out?” She asked as you nodded and opened your eyes.
“Next time we go out we’re doing it at night time” you groaned as the blonde giggled.
“Would you rather spend the day in?” She asked. You debated it for a minute, but you’d actually planned to take her to some nice places, so you shook your head.
“Nah, we’ve got things to see” you smiled, rubbing your eyes and standing up. You took her to all the tourist attractions that didn’t cost a bomb. You also took her on the tube, and explained the different lines and how they worked. You actually had a really nice day.
“Any suggestions for food? I am starving” she mentioned as you walked back towards the station.
“Why don’t you come back to mine? I think Niamh’s made dinner” you suggested.
“Would she mind?” Charli asked.
“She usually cooks big portions” you laughed. You and Niamh both ate a lot of food, so you usually cooked to serve 6-7 people. You brought the girl back to your house, where Niamh had cooked and was more than happy to whip out another bowl for Charli.
“You want to stay and watch something? I can drop you back later if you’d like” You asked as Charli smiled and nodded. “I can go get you spare clothes, just so you’ll be a bit more comfortable” you said, putting your food to the side and jogging upstairs.
“So, how are you finding London?” Niamh asked Charli while digging into her food.
“Yeah, it’s definitely bigger than I imagined” she laughed.
“Yeah it is” Niamh nodded. “It’ll get easier” she reassured her. “Especially when you’ve got a personal bodyguard” she laughed.
“What do you mean?” Charli asked.
“Hello?” You mumbled when you answered the phone, coming down the stairs with spare clothes in hand.
“Y/n Cooney-Cross, where is Charli?” Katrina snapped down the phone.
“In my house?” You frowned. “Is everything alright?” You asked.
“She was meant to be home over an hour ago” she huffed.
“Sorry that’s my bad” you lied. “I will drop her home in about an hour, we’re just having dinner”
“Okay” Katrina sighed in relief that her other child was safe. “Also, while I have you, can you mind Harper tomorrow for a few hours?” She asked.
“Yeah of course” you smiled. “Everything alright?”
“Clara just has an appointment in the morning” she sounded stressed. Expanding a family was stressful.
“Well, I’ll see you in the morning then” you nodded.
“Great, I’ll bring Harper over to you at about 8”
Fantastic.
You got back into the living room with clothes, as both girls instantly fell silent. They seemed to be caught up in a very intense conversation that fell flat the second you got into the room.
“Here, you can get changed in my room” you said, handing Charli the clothes as she took them from you and headed to your bedroom to get changed. “I hope you don’t mind, I have to look after Harper in the morning” you told Niamh.
“It’s no issue” she smiled. She knew you idolised Katrina and you loved Harper as if she was your real sister. “But I will throw that child on you tomorrow if you are not awake when they get here” Niamh laughed.
“You won’t need to” you reassured her, but you really couldn’t offer any type of reassurance great enough to Niamh that she’d believe you.
“Your clothes are too big” Charli laughed as she came back in with your clothes looking baggy. KCC was small but y/iCC was big. Your heart dropped when you saw her in your clothes.
“Niamh might have something better” you stutter as you stood up but Charli grabbed your hand and squeezed it.
“It’s fine” she smiled, as you both sat back down next to each other. “I would much rather be in your clothes” she whispered. You grinned to yourself and hit play on the TV again and the three of you continued to watch the show.
“I’m gonna hit the hay” Niamh yawned when the show ended.
“It’s 9pm?” You laughed.
“Which is why it doesn’t bother me when I need to get up before 8am” Niamh smirked. “Make sure to clean up before you go to bed”
“Alright mum” you teased as Niamh headed off to bed. “Wanna go home?” You asked the girl sitting next to you.
“Can I stay for another while?” She asked and you nodded with a smile. You changed what was on the TV to a movie. Your issue with sleeping wasn’t limited to being difficult to wake up, you also fell asleep extremely quickly. Charli had also drifted off, letting her head fall ontop of yours that had already fallen onto her shoulder.
“Actually-” Niamh said as she re-entered the room, but stopped herself when she noticed you were both asleep. She got a blanket and put it over the two of you and sent Katrina off a message to let her know that you’d both fallen asleep and it was fine for Charli to stay. Katrina and Niamh kept in touch, like two mums co-parenting a child. You being the child in the scenario.
-
You woke the next morning to Charli asleep beside you and your arm wrapped around her waist. She was also dressed in your clothes and looked adorable, tucked up against you.
“Cha cha” you mumbled.
“Only Harper calls me that” she laughed.
“Yeah, well Harps is going to be here soon” you shrugged.
“Oh, Harper is already here” Niamh said as she came in with the toddler who demanded to be lifted up onto the couch that you and Charli had made into a make shift bed.
“Hey Harps” you smiled picking her up and plonking her in between you two. “Where’s mummy?” You asked.
“Mummy is gone. Mummy is angry with Y/n for being asleep, isn’t she Harper?” Niamh smirked as the toddler innocently nodded. “She said she’d be back around 2” Niamh nodded as she shuffled off to make breakfast.
“Movie day or London day?” You asked the toddler.
“London day” she shouted back.
“Okay, give me 5 minutes” you smiled as you picked her up and spun her around like an airplane before you dropped her beside Charli and got up to get changed.
“What’s a London day?” Charli asked.
“Oh, it’s when we go out and do something” you shrugged, leaving the room before wincing at your bluntness. “Would you want to come?” You asked, sauntering back into the room and seeing the girl smile. “Is that okay Harper? If Charli comes too?” You asked the already nodding toddler.
Charli got changed into her outfit from yesterday again. You grabbed a few slices of toast and gave Charli your car keys.
“No, I want train” Harper said, shaking her head and stomping her feet.
“Okay, okay, no car” you replied, pointing to the rack where you usually left them for Charli to put them back up.
The three of you headed out, and Charli could have melted with how good you were with Harper. The little toddler practically spent the entire day on your shoulders, or holding your hand. You’d do anything that child asked you to do, and that is why Katrina trusted you with her. You’d let Katrina know that you’d meet her back at her own house, to save her coming to yours.
“Come on, let’s get your mummies something before we bring you home” you smiled, tugging the little girls’ legs who was sat happily on your shoulders.
“This” Harper shouted, pointing at a bouquet of flowers as you made eyes with the awaiting florist. She was an attractive blonde, and definitely your type.
“Could I grab these, please?” You asked as she smiled at you.
“Of course. I’ll get them wrapped up for you” she picked them up and took them to the desk. “Is she yours?” She asked, eyes falling to Harper who was now on the ground yet firmly holding onto your hand.
“No, my little sister” you chuckled.
“She’s so cute” she giggled, “Are these for someone special?” She asked you, but Harper answered anyway.
“Mummies” Harper shouted, making grabby hands for the bouquet, making both you and the florist laugh. Charli watched on as the girl clearly was flirting with you, but you seemed oblivious. You paid for the flowers and headed out of the shop. With Harper back on your shoulders, you needed to hang on to her, so you handed Charli the bouquet of flowers. You liked how natural it felt handing her them. You noticed how happy she looked being handed them, even though she knew that they weren’t for her.
“You know she was flirting with you?” Charli laughed, but inside she was not laughing.
“Oh, uh, I don’t think so” you shook your head. You didn’t really care to look at other girls. It had always been Charli, ever since you first met her.
“You’re oblivious” she rolled her eyes.
“I just don’t care” you shrugged.
“Why? Do you have a girlfriend?” She asked.
“No” you shook your head. “There’s just nobody else that I find attractive” you said, hoping the girl would get the hint.
“Good” she replied, quietly. You were silent on the journey home. You got back to Katrina’s house, stopping in quickly to say hello and to make sure Harper didn’t destroy the flowers before they got to Clara and Katrina. “Thank you, for last night and today” Charli smiled.
“It’s no stress” you reciprocated her smile. You walked towards the door as Charli’s heart dropped. Maybe you were just oblivious when people tried to flirt with you. “Charli?” you said when you got to the door.
“Yeah?” She replied.
“Are you doing anything tomorrow?” You asked.
“Um, no. Why do you ask?” She blushed.
“Would you maybe-” every ounce of confidence you had gained was gone now, but when you caught her eye it all came rushing back. “Would you maybe want to go out?” You stuttered.
“Like, on a date?” She asked and you nodded. “Yeah, I would love that” she smiled.
“Cool, I’ll pick you up then at 7?”
“7am, right?” She teased. You playfully rolled your eyes and left the house, practically running home to go to sleep so it would be tomorrow.
“Did I hear that correctly?” Katrina smirked.
“Hear what?” Kyra asked, coming through the door.
“Y/n just asked Charli-” Katrina began.
“If I would rather Chelsea or Arsenal” Charli blurted out to interrupt Katrina.
“And what did you say? You better have said Arsenal because there is no Australians on the Chelsea team” Kyra protested. Everyone looked at Kyra with their mouths open, wondering if she was being serious. “Like, at Arsenal, you’ve got me, Steph, Caitlin. Who even plays for Chelsea?” Kyra pondered.
“Y/n/n” Harper shouted.
“Sam” Katrina added.
“A bunch of nobodies. That’s who” Kyra protested, storming upstairs. Katrina waited until she heard Kyra’s door shut to turn back to Charli.
“I don’t want to tell her” Charli whispered.
“As long as you both understand how much more complicated it gets if you don’t” Katrina said as Charli nodded. “Thank god you’re not my real kids” she chuckled leaving the room.
“If they were ours then two of them going on a date would be pretty awkward, no?” Clara laughed.
You basically busted through your own front door, bypassing the living room where Niamh was and going straight to the kitchen. You opened the fridge and grabbed some leftovers of Niamh’s cooking before joining her in the living room.
“You’re late” she frowned.
“Sorry I missed curfew again mum, please don’t ground me” you teased.
“Oi, that’s mine” she shouted at the bowl in your hands.
“What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine Niamhy” you smirked, taking a forkful of food into your mouth as she groaned.
“Wanna do something tomorrow then?” She asked.
“Yeah, I’m free in the morning” you shrugged.
“As if you’re going to get up in the morning” she laughed. “Are you minding Harper or something later on?” She asked.
“Uh, no” you shook your head. “I have a date”
“A date? Does this mean you’re finally getting over your little sister’s best friend then?” Niamh laughed, picking up the remote to change over to the show you had been watching together. But when you didn’t respond, she knew by the look on your face who the date was with. “Your date is your little sister’s best friend” she sighed as you hummed. “Shit man, did you tell Kyra?” She asked.
“No, fuck no” you shook your head frantically. “She would ruin it”
“It’s your funeral” Niamh shrugged. “On the other side of things though, I am happy for you. I know you like her and she clearly likes you” Niamh smiled.
“Yeah, yeah just put your stupid show on” you laughed.
“It’s our show” Niamh protested before flicking it on. Like usual, you were asleep in seconds.
-
“Which friend?” Kyra asked as Charli got ready for your date. “A friend or a special friend?” She teased, wiggling her eyebrows.
“Why does it matter?” Charli groaned.
“So it’s a special friend then” Kyra smirked
“It’s just a dinner” Charli hummed.
“Well, I wanna meet them. Do I know them? Is it a guy? A girl? Do they play football? What club do they-” Kyra began firing out questions.
“Kyra enough, please” Charli sighed. “It’s a nothing with a nobody”
“Alright, if you say so” Kyra grinned, clearly up to something. “But if he, she or they don’t have you back by 11pm they’ll have to answer to mum” she skipped into her room and got ready herself. She was heading out with her Arsenal team mates tonight. Kyra had thankfully gone out when you arrived to collect Charli. You still had a key but you decided to knock.
“Did you lose your key?” Clara asked with a grin as she opened the door.
“I just thought it would be more respectful to knock” You were clearly anxious, but Clara knew exactly how to calm you down.
“Harper, guess who’s here” she shouted as the toddler came flying towards you out of nowhere.
“Y/n/n” she squealed as you picked her up.
“Harps” you chuckled, squeezing her tightly as she clung to you just as tight.
“That’s for you, kid” Katrina smiled at Charli who was applying some make-up in the mirror.
“Jesus, I am so nervous, my hands are sweating. Do you think it’s normal how sweaty my hands are?” She held them out as Katrina grabbed them, ignoring how sweaty they were to make it seem like it was in fact normal.
“Hey, listen to me. It’s okay to be nervous. I know she is too. But you both really like each other” Katrina reassured the now nodding girl. “After you” she gestured towards the door. You stood with Harper in your arms as you looked up to the shuffling noises from the top of the stairs. You couldn’t think straight when you saw how good she looked
“Holy fu-” you began but Clara nudged you into the arm. Hard enough to stop the next word leaving your mouth, but not too hard that you would drop Harper. You placed the toddler on the ground, before fixing your jacket.
“Hi” Charli smiled.
“Hey” you grinned. “Ready?” You asked as she nodded. She headed outside, as Katrina pulled you back.
“Good luck” she smiled, and gave you a quick hug. You waited for the door to close before you said what you’d been thinking.
“You look really nice” you smiled.
“Thank you” she beamed. “You do too” she added with a giggle. You took Charli to a fancy restaurant in central London and invited her back to your place afterwards, which she accepted. It was late when you’d gotten back to your house as you’d stayed after dinner to have a few drinks, you were drinking the non-alcoholic ones due to having the car.
Niamh was already in bed when you’d got home. You hadn’t been on your phone at all tonight as you were too caught up having a nice time with Charli. You’d missed Niamh’s message letting you know that Kyra was staying with you tonight because she forgot her key to Katrina’s, but had her one for your house. You’d went to get Charli spare clothes again, as she settled on the couch waiting for you to come back. She was finding something for both of you to watch when you came back with clothes. She headed to your bedroom to quickly get changed, while you grabbed some snacks from the kitchen. “These are so baggy” Charli giggled as she came in dressed in your clothes.
“You decide on a film?” You asked as she nodded and pulled you by the hand onto the couch. “Just keep it low, Niamh’s in bed” you said before she pressed play. The movie played lowly in the background, but it was merely background noise. Even after talking all through dinner and drinks, you just wanted to keep talking to her. “I meant to ask, did you like the place that we went to?” You asked as Charli smiled.
“Yeah, the food was really good. Thank you a lot for paying too, you didn’t need to do that” She was lightly tracing her fingers along your hand.
“Don’t be silly” you shook your head. “I asked you out, didn’t I?”
“I didn’t think you liked me, like that” Charli mumbled.
“I’ve liked you for a really long time, Charli” you stuttered out. It didn’t take long for the confidence to pick up and you leaned in to kiss her. She kissed you back, instantly. It got fairly intense, pretty quickly, mainly due to the fact you’d both been hung up on each other for years. She swung a leg over your lap and placed her hands to the back of your neck, while yours fell to her thighs. Your hands had just started to tug up the Chelsea T-shirt she was wearing.
“The fuck is this” Kyra demanded as you instantly broke apart. You were a bit shell shocked why your sister was here as you hadn’t seen Niamh’s message.
“Ky” you began, placing Charli back onto the couch and standing up.
“She’s my best friend” she shouted. You desperately tried to calm her down while also trying not to wake Niamh. Caitlin and Steph came through the door to make sure Kyra got in okay, only to walk into what was unfolding. “You’re both fucking dickheads. You’re meant to be my best friend and you’re meant to be my sister” Niamh was up now too, jogging downstairs.
“Kyra, come on” Caitlin frowned as she shoved the girl outside your house, deciding to take her to stay with her and Katie.
“Are you two okay?” Niamh asked as you sunk into the couch beside Charli.
“If it’s any consolation, honestly loving this” Steph smiled pointing to you two.
“Take me home” Charli said to Steph as she got up.
“Wait, Charli-” you pouted trying to reach out for her. But she was gone, Steph following off behind her after rubbing your shoulder and closing your front door.
“Shit man” Niamh grumbled as she brought you in for a hug. You didn’t really know what to do or what to say. You just stood rooted to the spot and felt numb. She eventually got you settled on the couch as she headed into the kitchen to make you tea. You were sat in the exact same position, hunkered up and staring at the wall when Niamh got back. “Here, mate” Niamh said, handing you a mug of tea.
“Thanks” you mumbled, taking it from her hands.
“It’ll all work out, you know?” Niamh smiled sympathetically and placed a hand on your shoulder. You just nodded unconvincingly as the two of you sat in silence and stared straight ahead.
“Can you just put something on TV?” You grumbled as Niamh nodded and hit it on. She usually sat on the armchair, beside the couch, but sat beside you now, and put her head on your shoulder. That’s how the two of you drifted off to sleep. Niamh was a good mate.
-
Caitlin had dropped Kyra back to her house the next morning, while Charli had ended up staying with Steph, and was still there.
“Morning sunshine” An oblivious Katrina smiled as Kyra pushed by her and went straight upstairs. “Caitlin?” Katrina frowned as to why her fellow Aussie teammate was stood in front of her.
“Morning” she groaned.
“Start talking” Katrina snapped. Caitlin explained everything very quietly so that Kyra couldn’t hear them talking. Katrina knew she had her work cut out for her. She thanked Caitlin for looking after Kyra and getting her home safely before she headed up to Kyra’s room and knocked. “You okay?” Katrina asked the young girl who was hunkered up on her bed.
“Did you know?” She asked. “About Y/n and Charli” she added to clarify what she meant, although Katrina knew what she meant.
“I knew they were going on a date” she nodded.
“Why would you not tell me?” Kyra groaned.
“It’s not my place and they asked me not to. They were both scared to upset you”
“How could they do this? Charli is meant to be my best friend and Y/n is my sister” Kyra huffed.
“Have you spoken to either of them?” Katrina asked as Kyra shook her head. “They really do like each other, I think you should talk to them”
“And what? Give them my blessing? I don’t think so” Kyra shook her head.
“Stop acting like a child” Katrina warned.
“What if they break up? I’ll lose my best friend or my sister. Or what if they both don’t talk to me?” Kyra pouted.
“But what if it works?” Katrina argued. She could tell that sent Kyra into a spiral so decided to leave her with her thoughts. “Come and get tea when you’ve settled” Katrina said before slipping out of the room and down the stairs. Niamh had convinced you to go and speak to Katrina, as she knew Katrina would be able to help process your thoughts a bit better. So, when you got to Katrina’s, it was just unfortunate the first person you met was a mopey Kyra coming downstairs.
“What do you want? Your girlfriend isn’t here” Kyra huffed.
“I just came by to-” you began before she cut you off.
“I don’t want to hear your stupid fucking apology” she shouted, a bit too loudly for a certain toddlers ears.
“Kyra” Katrina shouted. “Both of you give over. Now”. Kyra stomped back upstairs before stopping and turning to look down at you.
“I’m never going to be okay with it” she slammed her bedroom door and never came back out. Your body tensed up in a way it never had before. You felt like the worst person and the worst sister on the planet.
“You okay?” Katrina asked as you nodded.
“I’m sorry for shouting with Harper here” you mumbled.
“It wasn’t you” Katrina pouted at how visibly upset you looked and tried to reach for your arm.
“I need to, uh, get home” you shook your head and pulled away from her.
“Y/n/n” Harper shouted as your fingertips gripped the door handle. “Movie day, movie day” she demanded.
“Not today, Harper” Katrina cooed picking her up and the toddler pouted, making grabby hands for you to take her out of Katrina’s arms.
“Do you want to do movie day with me and Niamh?” You asked as the little girl nodded frantically. “Is that okay with mum?” You turned to Katrina.
“Only if you promise to cheer Y/n up” Katrina smiled, squishing Harper’s cheeks gently.
“Y/n/n sad?” Harper poked your face.
“Not anymore” you smiled, squeezing her cheek as she giggled and pulled your neck tightly for a hug.
You took Harper back with you to have a movie day in your house, which Niamh was more than happy to take part in. It also got Harper out of the house so when a certain blonde got home, no child had to be a witness to the screaming match that was bound to take place. Charli got home shortly after you’d left, with a concerned Steph following her in to talk to Katrina. Charli immediately ran upstairs to her bedroom.
“Mini, I wish I could describe the look on Y/n’s face when Charli left” Steph began.
“I don’t know what to do with them all” Katrina sighed.
“I’m glad they’re your kids and not mine” Steph chuckled. “Speaking of your kids, where is your actual one?”
“She’s over with Y/n and Niamh. I’m going to leave them two to work it out without little ears around” Katrina informed her. Not too long after Steph had left, Katrina and Clara also headed out, to give Charli and Kyra some space. Charli had just sat in her room all day watching reruns of shit TV when she was eventually disturbed by a knock on the door.
“Hey, uh, can we talk?” Kyra grumbled. Charli nodded and sat up on the bed as Kyra sat on the bottom. “Are you and my sister like-”
“It’s nothing” Charli shook her head.
“I didn’t walk in on nothing” Kyra frowned.
“It was one date and one kiss. It meant nothing. It won’t happen again” Charli was of course lying about it meaning nothing, but was trying to make peace. “So we’re fine, right?” Charli pouted.
“Yeah, it’s cool” Kyra nodded. “So, are you two like friends still?” She asked.
“We’ve always just been nothing, she’s just your sister” Charli shrugged.
You on the other hand, found it better to just avoid the two of them. You’d stopped coming by the house and just ignored Kyra’s calls or texts. You decided not to go back to Australia for Christmas, instead spending it with Niamh’s family after a lot of pestering that you couldn’t be alone. You’d almost become a different person. You’d barely looked in Kyra’s direction when you’d played her a few weeks ago in the league. Kyra did try to approach you to say hello but Niamh had interrupted to let her know it probably wasn’t the best idea. When it came to playing against Charli, you didn’t stick around after the game at all. You were too afraid to even look at her.
Kyra felt as though she was going crazy. Her fears of losing you were happening and nothing serious had even happened between you and Charli. So, your real mum and adopted mum had given Kyra some kind of a pep talk to try to fix things with you. And she did it in the only way she knew would make you agree to spend time with her.
“London day” Harper squeaked as she jumped on your bed while you were still asleep.
“Harps” you groaned, picking up your phone to check the time.
“She wanted a London day with her big sister” Kyra chuckled and startled you a bit.
“What are you doing here?” You frowned.
“London day” Harper demanded as you and your sister caught each other’s eye and laughed. You got changed quickly, lifting Harper up on your shoulders where she happily sat for the whole day. On the way back, you stopped into the same florist you had the day with Charli.
“Oh, look who’s back” the florist smirked as you came through the door.
“Harper, say hello” you smiled, squeezing her legs. The toddler gave a quick wave before giving you a tug to let you know she wanted to be put down. She walked around with Kyra to pick some flowers.
“You’re so cute with her” the girl mentioned with a flirty tone.
“Oh, uh, thanks” You laughed nervously.
“These flowers aren’t for someone special this time, are they?” She hinted as you shook your head. “Would it be weird if I asked you for your number?”
“You want my number?” You said in disbelief.
“Is that okay?” She asked.
“Uh, yeah” you nodded, taking her phone to put your number in. You had to move on eventually, right?
“I’ll text you” she smiled, putting her phone back in her pocket. She took the flowers from Harper and you paid for them, like usual.
“Did you get her number?” Kyra asked when you got outside.
“She asked for mine” you shrugged.
“And what? You just gave it to her? What about Charli?”
“What about Charli?” You frowned. “You said you wouldn’t be okay with it, and we haven’t spoke since”
“But you still like her?” Kyra asked.
“Feelings don’t just go away over night” you shrugged.
“It’s been four months” Kyra pointed out.
“Well I’ve really liked her for years so sorry for still feeling-”
“Years?”
“It doesn’t matter Kyra” you huffed.
“No but it does” she said softly.
“When I heard she was moving to London, I really thought it might happen” you sighed. “But it doesn’t matter, I don’t want you upset or-”
“Years, huh?” She asked and you nodded. “Harper, we got the wrong flowers” Kyra playfully pouted. “These aren’t mummies favourites, whose are they?” Kyra smirked.
“Cha cha” Harper giggled.
“Let’s go back” Kyra said, taking Harper from you and handing you the flowers. “Go tell her” Kyra smiled.
You stood puzzled before she shoved the flowers harder against your chest.
“You’re sure?” You asked as Kyra nodded with a smile, turning off with Harper on her shoulders now. You took off on a run towards Katrina’s, hoping that Charli would be home. And strangely, she was the only one home. She was startled by whoever was here. They had just burst through the front door and she got up to check who it was.
“Y/n?”
“Hey” you mumbled.
“Katrina isn’t here” she replied instead of greeting you.
“I came to see you, actually” you practically whispered. She didn’t answer so you just continued. “Listen, Charli, I really like you and I have liked you since the day we first met. I get this is awkward with Kyra and everything, but I want us to be something, even if that’s just friends” you stuttered out. She hadn’t said anything, and like the idiot you were, you were gearing up to say something else, which she seemed to sense because just as you opened your mouth to speak again, she stepped forward to put her lips on yours. You both melted into the kiss. This one a lot more gentle than the previous one you’d shared. “So you want to be friends then?” You smirked.
“So badly” she teased, kissing you again. “But what do we say to Kyra?” She winced.
“She’s surprisingly now on board” you shrugged. “Oh, these are for you” you smiled, handing her the flowers that had firmly stayed in your hand since you got here.
“Just to be clear, we are more than friends now, right?” She asked as you nodded and kissed her again.
“Jesus, not infront of the baby” Kyra shouted, covering Harper’s eyes as they came through the front door.
“Come on Harps, let’s go start dinner” you smiled, as the toddler came running after you towards the kitchen.
“That didn’t take long” Kyra laughed as Charli rolled her eyes playfully. “Come on, let’s help your little girlfriend make dinner then” she smirked as they headed towards the kitchen.
Funny enough, Kyra never had to worry about you and Charli breaking up.
