“I already booked your ticket. You’re coming to Jersey”

-

Jack had texted her that message less than 48 hours ago, and here she was on a plane to Jersey. Her fingers automatically go to the pendant around her neck, tracing the little “L”. She’s always been a nervous flyer, which is why Jack bought her a ticket in first class. Violet told Jack it was unnecessary to spend that much money to which he replied that as long as Violet comes to Jersey and makes his brother stop pouting, it’s money well spent.

She gets an automatic smile on her face thinking about her best friend. They haven’t been apart that long but she’s definitely been feeling his absence. She feels it when she goes over to the sophomore house and his regular seat on the couch is open, no one daring to sit on it even when he’s not there. She feels it when she goes to Starbucks and gets Luke’s regular order, only to have to give it to someone else when she realizes he’s not there.

She feels it when there’s a movie night and Luke isn’t sitting next to her whispering comments in her ear. And when it’s 3AM and she realizes she hasn’t eaten dinner because there was no Luke to force her to stop studying and take care of herself. Or when she makes a stupid joke and no one laughs, because Luke definitely would’ve gotten it. She feels it when she’s laying in bed and there’s no Luke to press her cold feet against.

She just misses him so much. All the time. It made her think about what she did before she met him, but she can barely remember a time where he wasn’t in her life anymore. For the last seven years, it’s always been Luke and Violet. You won’t see one without the other. Even at family events, the other one always came along. Since the day she’s met Luke they’ve been inseparable.

Grade 8

Violet turns to the right when she feels a tap on her right shoulder, meeting the eyes of a curly headed boy who’s smiling at her a little sheepishly.

“Can I borrow a pencil?” he asks, his voice somehow both nervous and self “assured at the same time.

“Do you always come to Math class without a pencil on the first day?” Violet asks a little tensely. She was a very serious student and she wasn’t about to spend the whole semester sitting next to someone who couldn’t even be bothered to show up to class prepared.

“Uh no. I accidentally broke mine. Nerves.” he explains, holding up the two separate pieces of the broken pencil, cheeks going a little red in embarrassment.

Violet opens her bag and grabs a pencil. Luke bites the inside of his cheek to stop himself from laughing at the 10 pencils she has in her bag. Ten!

“I like to be prepared,” she explains, and he realizes he failed to hide his amusement.

“Totally. Great habit.” Luke says seriously, not wanting to offend the girl.

“Keep it. You’re gonna need a pencil for the rest of the day,” Violet says when Luke goes to return the pencil at the end of class.

“What’s your next class?” Luke asks as they pack up.

“English, with Foster,” Violet replies.

“Oh would you look at that, we have another class together,”

“Oh joy,” Violet says sarcastically and Luke throws his head back as he laughs and Violet tries not to stare. She really likes his laugh.

The next morning when Violet gets to class her pencil is waiting for her on the desk, along with a cinnamon bun, her favourite treat, just like she told Luke yesterday during their little get to know each other session, and a little note that reads “Thanks Vi” in handwriting way prettier than Luke’s which makes her think maybe his mom wrote it, and the thought puts a smile on her face.

-

It wasn’t long after that, that they had their first little study date and Luke invited her to his game, and ever since then she’s always been the only girl to wear his jersey. Sometimes Violet thinks about how different both of their lives would be if they didn’t choose to sit in those seats. Luke always tells her that they were fated to be best friends and that even if they didn’t meet in that class he would’ve met her somewhere else. Violet doesn’t know if she fully believes in fate but it’s much better than imagining a world where her and Luke don’t know each other at all.

Sometimes Violet can’t believe her and Luke have been friends for about 7 years now. That they’ve been through so much together, been there for so many milestones. They’ve both changed and grown so much over the years, but the more Luke has grown up, the better person he becomes and the more she loves him. Violet has always had feelings for Luke, there’s always been a little something more, a little flutter in her stomach whenever he smiles at her, lingering touches, longing gazes.

Senior Year

The drive to Violet’s lake house was peaceful. After their graduation ceremony and getting lunch with their families, both Luke and Violet decided to make the drive up to her lake house. It was a planned trip, a few of their friends joining later in the weekend to spend some time together before everyone scatters for the summer. Luke and Violet would have tonight and tomorrow by themselves, getting settled and preparing the lake house for guests.

Luke gasps as Violet turns down the volume, shooting her a mock offended look.

“I’m not listening to your and Jack’s hillbilly playlist all the way there,” she says and Luke laughs.

“You love our hillbilly playlist. Don’t lie,” he replies turning the volume back up and squeezing her thigh, grinning when she jerks away, just like he knew she would.

“Make my world go black,” Luke starts singing.

“Absolutely not,” Violet protests immediately.

“Hit me like a heart attack,” he continues

“Just no!,”

“Knock me flat on my back,”

“Luke Warren Hughes!” she warns

“Brush me with your hair,” he sings, dramatically running his hand over Violet’s hair, covering half her face.

“Stop!” she yells, unable to contain her laughter.

“I’ll stop if you hold my hand,” he says, holding his hand out, palm up and Violet instantly slips her hand into his.

“You’re still wearing this?” she asks fiddling with the violet coloured bracelet around his wrist.

“Of course. Haven’t taken it off since you gave it to me. It’s my good luck charm,” he explains

“I thought I was your good luck charm…” she teases

“You are, but I can’t put you in my pocket and take you with me everywhere I go…as much as I wish I could.” Luke says and his hand lands on the inner side of her thigh, resting there. Violet looks out the window hoping Luke doesn’t notice the blush on her cheeks and wraps her hand around his arm, holding it the rest of the way there.

Later that night after they had set up everyone’s rooms and went for a little swim in the hot tub, they were laying on the bed, both focused on their own phones when Luke suddenly got up.

“I got you a little graduation gift,” he states walking over to her with a small box in his hand. He hands it over, standing in front of her while she’s sitting on the bed.

“We said we weren’t doing gifts, I didn’t get you anything.” Violet says while gently opening the box and seeing a necklace with a “L” pendant.

“I got it so that it doesn’t matter where you go to school next year, I’ll always be with you.” Luke explains, a little insecure.

“It’s beautiful, I love it. Thank you,” she replies, standing up and handing it to him so he can put it on for her. Luke’s hands trembled a little as they try to clasp it together. Violet was still in her bikini, and Luke in his swim trunks and they were both a little distracted with the amount of skin exposed.

“Luke?” Violet says as she turns around looking up at him.

“Yeah…” he answers, eyes dipping to where the “L” rests just above her breasts.

“I’m going to Michigan next year.” she states and his eyes shoot up to meet hers.

“What?” he asks, making sure he heard correctly. Not wanting to get his hopes up.

“I don’t want to be anywhere else. I’m going to Michigan State next year,”

“Michigan State?” he questions, his joy dimming for a second.

“No, I’m just kidding. Our Michigan. You should’ve seen your face,” she giggles and he visibly relaxes.

“Oh my God, we’re going to Michigan together?” he asks disbelievingly and she nods. She squeals when he pulls her closer, a hand going on each thigh as he picks her up. She wraps her legs around his waist, both her arms looping around his neck.

Luke buries his face in her neck, just squeezing her tight for a few seconds. The need to hold her close didn’t go away and that’s how they ended up in bed together. Luke’s head resting on Violet’s chest as she runs her fingers through his hair.

“I can’t wait to tell my mom. She’s going to be so happy,” Luke mumbles, remembering how sad Ellen got when Luke told her Violet was looking at going to university in another state.

Luke lifts his head, meeting Violet’s eyes, the biggest grin on his face.

“What?” she asks, gently running her thumb over his cheek.

“Nothing.” he replies, lowering his head and placing little kisses on her collarbone. She tilts her head to the side, giving him more room when he starts kissing up her neck.

“You’re so beautiful. The prettiest girl I’ve ever seen.” he whispers and Violet can’t contain the smile that spreads across her face. Luke’s head ends up on her chest again and both of them are just content laying there in the silence, until Violet breaks it.

“You’re getting drafted soon. Isn’t that crazy?” Violet whispers. It feels like yesterday that Quinn got drafted, and Luke told her about how his own draft day feels forever away. Now it’s almost here.

“You don’t have to look so sad. It’s not like I’m leaving immediately,” he says but frowns when the crease between her brow only deepens.

Luke wasn’t going to leave immediately. But some day he would be leaving. And what would Violet do then? Sit idly by in Michigan while Luke moves to a new city without her. Probably getting the same attention from girls that both his brothers are getting. The thought leaves a sour taste in her mouth. She shouldn’t care this much. They’re not together and she has no right to be jealous. Besides what’s the alternative? Move with him? Chase after him just like she’s been doing since they met? Get a front row seat to witness how Luke doesn’t reciprocate the feelings she has. She’s not going to subject herself to that. It’s already torture enough that’s she’s going to have to see all the attention he’s going to be getting at Michigan.

“Hey,” Luke breaks her out from her thoughts. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there, yeah?”

“Yeah,” she replies half-heartedly.

“Violet,” Luke says and then hesitates like he’s not sure if he should continue. His hand cupping her jaw, thumb tracing her lips.

Say it. Say something. Say anything. Violet begs in her head.

“You’re my best friend.” Luke says.

Anything I don’t already know, she thinks but only sends him a little smile.

“You’re my best friend too Lukey,”

-

Violet can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if she had the guts to tell him that night instead of waiting for him to do it. If she was only delaying the inevitable. There’s a limited number of things that Violet can’t live without. Cinnamon buns. A good iced latte. Her family. Her journal. And Luke Hughes. That’s probably what’s held her back all these years, the fear of losing him for good. But what good is it to have him, if she can’t have all of him.

Violet can’t stop the warmth from spreading in her chest when she gets off the plane and goes to find Jack, who was waiting for her, leaning against his car.

“You need a haircut,” she says teasingly as she stops in front of him and he sends her a lazy smile.

“It’s good to see you too,” he answers, giving her a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek before taking her bags to put them in the trunk.

“You didn’t need to come get me, I could’ve gotten an uber” Violet says as they’re in the car, on the way to his apartment.

“Yeah right. My brother would kill me if he finds out I let you take an uber from the airport. So would my mom. So would Quinn. My whole family actually. Besides I wanted to, I’m probably not gonna see you much on this trip, might as well get some quality J and V time in somewhere,” Jack says sending her a warm smile.

“Thanks Jacky. And thanks for flying me out.” she says

“No problem. You’re doing me a favor really. If I have to spend one more night on the couch while Luke mopes about missing you, I might actually kill him.” Jack says.

Violet smiles softly, feeling a little reassured to know Luke misses her as much as she misses him. Her hand subconsciously moves to her necklace and Jack catches the move out of the corner of his eye.

“Nervous?” he asks

“Excited. And a little nervous,” she admits

“He’s gonna be really happy to see you,” Jack reassures her and they fall into a comfortable silence after that until they get home.

“He’s in his room, probably sleeping. Just wake him up, we both know he won’t mind if it’s you.” Jack says when the two of you walk into the apartment and he sets your bag down.

“You’re not staying?” She asks when Jack makes his way back towards the door.

“Nah, I’m gonna head out for a little bit. There’s food in the fridge if you’re hungry,” he says and slips out the door before she could reply.

Violet takes a deep breath, taking a moment to observe the apartment. She makes her way towards the room Jack pointed to. Luke’s room.

She hesitates outside the door for a second before softly turning the knob and pushing the door open. She’s met with the sight of Luke’s chest softly rising up and down, his eyes closed, body facing the door, the sounds of his steady breathing filling the room.

She quietly stumbles over to the bed in her sock clad feet, taking a seat on the bed next to him and gently brushing a curl from his forehead. She gently lays down, not wanting to wake him, heart beating erratically when he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer, his face resting in the slope of her neck. Not long after, violet drifts off to sleep, completely content for the first time in a few nights.

About two hours later Luke wakes up a little disoriented, not wanting to open his eyes yet. He feels something, or someone, stir next to him and he immediately opens his eyes, panic gripping him for a brief moment until he smells the familiar scent.

Luke lifts himself onto his elbow, looking down at Violet’s sleeping body next to him. He rubs his eyes a little, shutting them and counting to three before opening them again and breathing a sigh of relief when she’s still there.

He bends down to press a kiss to her cheek, then her nose, counting this all over her face until she blinks softly up at him.

“hey you,” she says and Luke feels thoroughly embarrassed by how that raspy voice went straight to his dick.

“You make it a habit to sneak into people’s beds while they’re sleeping?” he jokes

“Only yours,” Violet answers and he smiles in response.

“When’d you get here? How’d you get here? Why are-“ he rambles and violet kisses his cheek, very close to his lips to shut him up.

“I got here about 2 hours ago, Jack flew me out and there’s really no other reason other than I missed you.” she says

“I missed you more. We’re allowed to sleep in the same bed again now?” Luke asks before he can help himself.

“Uh yeah, Noah’s not gonna care,” she says and Luke frowns

“Really? Cause he was pretty adamant about it…”

“Let me rephrase. Noah’s opinion doesn’t matter anymore, because we broke up,” Violet says and has to stop herself from laughing at Luke’s expression. It’s a mixture of shock and pure happiness.

“When?”

“About a week before the frozen four” violet admits

“That’s like a month ago!” he exclaims

“I know. You had a lot going on though, I didn’t want to add to that.” she says softly

“Are you okay?” he asks

“I’m fine, it’s not like I was in love with him. I never should’ve dated him in the first place. How could I ever truly commit myself to him when I’ve been in love with another person for the past 7 years?”

Luke swallows thickly, his hand going to fix her “L” necklace, tracing it as he asks, “you gonna tell me who?”

“You know who. You know I’ve always been in love with you Luke, just like I know you’ve always seen me as more than just your best friend. I think we’ve both known for a while, we were both just too scared to do anything about it. I would never forgive myself if I didn’t at least tell you how I felt even if you don’t-” Violet doesn’t get a chance to finish her sentence as Luke presses his lips to hers. And it feels just as special as it always has and yet it’s more.

Luke wonders if this will ever go away, this constant need he has for her. The need to see her everyday, the need to kiss her whenever he does see her, the need to keep her right here in his bed forever so every ounce of her love and affection is solely focused on him.

“I’m in love with you too my Violet. Probably have been since the moment I met you. I’m sorry it took me so long to be willing to risk you, in order to have you.” Luke whispers against her lips, kissing her softly at the end.

“You know there’s still a risk to this not working out,” Violet says

“I know. But it’s a risk I’m willing to take, and I promise you no matter what happens between us, I will always care for you and I will always love you, and you’re always gonna be my best friend.” Luke replies, softly kissing her once again before pulling her close, soaking up every minute they have together before she has to return back to Michigan.

Deep down Luke’s always known him and Violet was gonna end up together, there’s no way people have chemistry like theirs and not have feelings involved, and in a way he doesn’t regret waiting until this moment for them to get together, because even if they weren’t together, he knows Violet’s always been his.

i see luke being to worried to be angry at the moment but once everything is calmed down i see them having a prettt deep conversation why vi felt like she couldn’t tell him and luke being understandable angry she didn’t tell him

Luke spent an hour or two in the waiting room with her family, waiting for visiting hours to start.

And by the time he could finally see her, his worry and anger had only doubled.

“Luke? What are you doing here?” Violet asks surprised to see him but the little glint in her eyes conveying how happy she is to see him.

“What am I doing here? Really?” Luke asks walking closer to her and taking a seat on the bed, cupping her face between his hands and scanning her face.

“I’m okay, I promise,” Violet says and Luke sighs, kissing her. once. twice. three times before pulling away and resting his forehead on hers.

“I am so angry at you right now,” Luke says, keeping his hands gentle on her skin but Violet could feel the anger through his eyes. She’s never seen Luke this angry at her before.

“Luke-“

“How could you not call me? How could you not have someone call me the second you got here and were checked out?” Luke asks

“I was fine. I am fine. You were in the middle of a roadie-“

“Who gives a fuck?” he says, dropping his hands to her lap and pulling his head away slightly raising his voice and he takes a deep breath when he realizes he just cursed at her.

“I don’t care if I was in the middle of playing a stanley cup deciding game. If under any circumstances something happens to you and you have the opportunity to call me, or have someone else call me, you do it. You always do it. For God’s sake Violet, put me on your emergency contact list,” Luke says, his chest rising and falling rapidly when he’s done.

“I’m okay and I’m sorry Luke,” Violet says, lifting his hand to her lips and kissing his palm

“I’m still angry,”

“I know and you have every right to be,”

“Damn right. Because we both know if the roles were reversed…if even the smallest thing happened to me that risked my health or safety, and I didn’t call you or have someone tell you, you would be going out of your mind right now. The fact that your brother called me, thinking I already knew, a day after it happened…” Luke cuts off his sentence with a shake of his head.

“I didn’t want to worry you unnecessarily-“

“I always worry. I love you which means I spend every free minute I have wondering and worrying about where you are and what you’re doing and if you’re okay. Especially because I’m far away from you. It’s my job to worry about you. It’s my job to take care of you. It’s my job to be there for you when you go through a traumatic experience, which this was. Don’t try to play it off as an inconvenience or some minor hiccup in the road. Two men broke into your apartment in the middle of the night and robbed you. God knows what else they would’ve done if the alarm didn’t go off. What would I do if-“ Luke cuts himself off, not even capable of having those thoughts never mind voicing them out loud.

“I’m okay. I just have a little concussion. I’m sorry I didn’t call you. You’re right, it was wrong of me not to. I would’ve wanted to know if it was you. I don’t know what I was thinking. You were in a middle of a road trip and you were just coming off a stretch of good games I didn’t want to…mess that up by making you fly all the way out here because I knew you would,” Violet says and Luke shakes his head. This girl. His girl.

“Promise me you’ll call me. Whenever something happens no matter how insignificant you think it is. You’ll call me,” Luke says cupping her face again and she nods

“I’ll call you. I promise. I’m sorry,” Violet says again and Luke kisses softly

“Stop apologizing baby. Are you sure you’re okay? Have you reported this yet?” Luke asks and she nods

“Yeah, I filed a police report last night. I’m okay. I thought would be more…I don’t know shaken up. I’m just sad really…they took my necklace,” she says her hand subconsciously going to her chest where the little “L” usually rests. And she tears up again.

“I’m sorry, I know it’s stupid to cry over it when I’m lucky that nothing worse happened to me but-“

“It’s not stupid. I understand,” Luke says, knowing how much that necklace means to her. It had the same emotional value to her as his bracelet did. And although Luke wasn’t wearing his bracelet anymore because it’s so worn down, it’s practically falling apart, it is safely stored and tied to his backpack. The same backpack resting against the wall of this hospital room.

Especially with the long distance, it felt like he always had a piece of Vi with him, and he knows she felt the same about that necklace. Especially the significance of when he gave it to her. Graduation night. What happened that night was really the start of Luke realizing how in love he was with his best friend.

“It’s okay. I’ll buy you a new one,” Luke says gently wiping her tears away and kissing her red nose.

He pulls her close when she sniffles, holding her tight.

“hold onto this for me until your new one gets here,” Luke says, removing the chain from his neck and putting it over her head and around hers.

“Luke?” she mumbles, looking up at him with her chin propped on his chest

“Violet?” he retorts teasingly like he always does when she does that

“Thanks for being here. I didn’t realize how much I needed you until you were here,” she says and he presses another kiss to her head

“Of course. There’s literally no where else I would rather be than right next to you. Especially when you need it. I think you should come to Jersey with me for a few days. A few weeks maybe,” Luke says, knowing he won’t be able to let her out of his sight for a while.

“I’m not opposed to that,” Violet says and Luke absentmindedly starts playing with her hair

“I love you. I should’ve said that the second I walked through the door,” Luke says and she smiles up at him, resting her chin on his chest

“I love you Lu,” she says, and Luke gets this warm feeling in his chest kissing her again and not letting her pull away this time

“Ew. I didn’t call you to make out with my sister in front of me. At least I’m assured now she’s perfectly fine,” Daxton says when he enters the room a few minutes later

“Even if I wasn’t perfectly fine, I’d still make out with my super hot, sexy boyfriend. What do you know I feel better already,” Violet teases, sticking her tongue out at her brother and Luke chuckles

“Thanks for calling him,” Violet says and Daxton nods

“I shouldn’t have had to,” Dax says and Violet sighs. Luke had handled the fact that Violet didn’t call him way better than Daxton would have.

“I know. I already got the speech, apologized and promised not to do it again. I don’t need to hear it from my little brother too,” Violet says emphasizing the little, even though her brother isn’t that little anymore.

“Mom and Dad went to get breakfast, so maybe you two will stop trying to eat each other’s tongues,” Daxton says and Violet pulls a face at his wording

“As if I didn’t catch you with your tongue down a pretty little blonde’s throat when I was home last month,” Violet says and Luke dramatically gasps

“You’re into blondes now?” Luke teases

“Not blondes, just a blonde. Not even sure that’s her natural colour. She dyes it practically every other week,” Daxton says, not meeting either of their gazes

“I’ll have to meet her, if she’s got you interested. You should bring her to the lake house this summer,” Luke says and Daxton’s brows furrow

“Not gonna happen. She’s leaving Michigan after graduation. Got a whole lotta big plans that don’t include me,” Daxton mumbles, deciding the conversation was over, and turns the stupid little hospital TV on while Luke goes back to fawning over Violet.

[bedsyandco]

Blurb of them making out a late summer night, maybe by the fire after everyone’s left to go to bed?

they were sitting by the fire, Violet curled up in his lap, everyone else had gone to bed and they decided to stay out there for a few more minutes, too content to call it a night yet.

violet got up ignoring luke’s protest and put her mug on one of the other chairs before making her way back to Luke, straddling his lap and looking at him this time.

his hands go to her waist, sliding underneath his hoodie that she was wearing and caressing her skin. her hands go to back of his neck, playing with the curls there.

“you burned today,” she says, sliding her finger over his nose

“tanned,” luke replies sassily and she scoffs, tugging on his hair lightly

she moves closer and places a gentle kiss on his red nose. she loved sitting on his lap, the last few years he’s just gotten bigger and stronger and she loves nothing more than just curling up on his lap and snuggling into his chest

Luke’s hands slide down to her ass, squeezing the flesh between his fingers and she kisses his cheek. and then the corner of his lips. she lightly nips at luke’s lower lip before connecting their lips.

Luke drags her hoodie over her head, putting it on the arm of the chair and leaving her just in her bikini top, pulling violet’s chest closer to his. he presses kisses from her lips, to her neck, until he reaches her “L” necklace. he traces it for a few seconds before pressing a kiss to it and going down until he reaches her boobs. he presses little kisses to the top of her breasts before going back up again, his hand wrapped around her neck and pulling her closer to connect their lips again.

“Am I friend Violet or hot violet right now?” she mumbles against his lips, putting her hands underneath his T-shirt and running her hands up to his chest

“You’re my Violet,” he says, voice raspy and she grins, pecking his lips again.

[bedsyandco]

It wasn’t uncommon for Violet to go home with Luke and eat dinner at the Hughes home after he had a game. Senior year when their relationship was… progressing, they’d always end up in his room, chilling on his bed and watching a movie.

“c’mere,” luke mumbles, tugging on violet’s crop top roughly and she kicks him lightly on the shin from her position next to him on the bed, causing him to sigh and pinch her waist.

“I’m literally right next to you. It’s impossible for me to wiggle any closer,” Violet says and Luke scoffs, putting his hand on her hip and rolling her on top of him, adjusting her so she’s straddling his lap, his hands resting on her hips and adjusting the pillows behind his head so he’s slightly sitting up, bringing them closer together.

“Much better,” Luke says smiling at her and she just shakes her head, placing both her hands on his chest, one of them running up to his neck and ending up in his hair.

“You’re so cocky and demanding when you win,” Violet teases, pulling his hair slightly. Whenever Luke wins a game, one where he played really well, he’s always a little cockier than usual. It kind of reminds Violet of Jack. Any other time Violet would straddle his lap, tug on his hair and kiss his neck? Luke would be a blushy, breathless mess. But not tonight, because he had two goals and two assists tonight, including the game winning goal and nothing was going to take that glint out of his eye or that cocky smirk off his face.

“You like it,” Luke teases, his hands moving from her hips to her ass, casually resting there.

“Maybe a little,” Violet whispers softly against his lips, swiping her tongue across his bottom lip before pulling away, smiling slightly at the pout forming on his mouth.

“You know what I saw in warmups tonight?” Luke asks, a mischievous grin pulling at his lips

“Do I wanna know?” Violet questions, her eyes slightly narrowing

“I saw you. Glaring at this girl a few rows down from you. Don’t know the reason for your devil eyes but I can only assume it had to do with the name on the back of her jersey,” Luke says, a grin on his face when Violet’s cheeks slightly redden

“I didn’t glare, I was just…observing my surroundings,” she replies, remembering the girl who was telling her friends how much she couldn’t wait to talk to Luke at the party tonight. A party Luke opted out of because Violet told him she didn’t wanna go. The girl also mentioned how she’d prefer Jack but his younger brother would do just fine. That girl could thank her lucky stars that Ellen went to the game with Violet tonight and she didn’t want to make a scene in front of her.

“It’s okay. You know I think you’re hot when you’re all mad. Mom thought it was pretty funny too,” Luke says and Violet’s mouth drops open

“Your mom saw?” she whispers horrified and Luke laughs

“Everyone saw babe, you weren’t exactly subtle,” Luke teases and she slaps him lightly on the chest

“Shut up. I’m the most subtle. You’re the one who isn’t subtle. Dragging me up here as if your parents don’t know exactly what we’re doing,” Violet whisper yells and Luke takes both her hands in his, bringing them to his mouth so he can kiss them.

“They don't. We’re best friends. We could be doing anything. Besides we’re not doing anything wrong, just a friendly peck here and there. And I deserve all the kisses after the game I had today. It’s a crime that you haven’t kissed me yet,” Luke says

“You're so dramatic,” she teases, gently cupping his face and connecting their lips.

Luke groans when she bites his lower lip softly, his hands going to the edge of her crop top and looking for her reassuring nod before taking off her shirt, his eyes and lips immediately going to her neck and travelling down to her chest clad in a black underwire bra.

“I’m so proud of you. You played so well tonight. You make everyone so proud. You’re gonna do so many great things lukey,” she says, placing a kiss on his lips between each sentence.

“Stop,” he whines, burying his face in the crook between her neck and shoulder, pressing a kiss there.

“Will you stay the night? Please,” he asks, and Violet nods, never one to deny Luke anything, grabbing her phone so she could text her mom.

Luke would absolutely finish so fast when he fucks her boobs... he just loves them so much

um okay…don’t look at me🫣idk what this is. and I wrote it on my phone cause my laptop is dead so it needs heavy editing😭 actually do tell me every delicious little detail you liked

it was after they won the big ten championship and luke was riding a high, much like the other guys on the team. the only thing luke wanted to do was celebrate with her.

they were clinging to each other’s side the whole night. from the moment they arrived at the party, luke has had a hand on her, at all times.

she was wearing a skirt and this black little corset top that Luke thought should be thrown away and never to be seen again because he doesn’t know if he can handle seeing her in it again after tonight.

he was sitting on the couch, a drink in his left hand, talking with the guys. violet was leaning against his side, and his arm was thrown over her shoulder, his right hand fidgeting with the “L” pendant around her neck, fingers brushing the top of her breast every now and then, causing her breath to hitch.

violet downs the rest of her drink, putting her empty cup on the open space next to her and turning her body towards luke, her hand going to the nape of his neck, fingers tugging on the curls there as she whispers in his ear, “wanna go upstairs?”

luke’s lips tip up into a sexy little grin, nodding his head and he stands up, pulling her with him and gently nudges her in front of him, keeping his hand on the back of her neck to lead her towards the stairs. his hand falls to hers and this time she’s the one leading him up the stairs, his eyes shamelessly eyeing the way her ass is swinging in her skirt with every step.

when they get to his room, she pushes him onto the edge of the bed, and stands between his legs, his hands cupping the back of her legs and running them up and down.

her hands end up in his hair, tilting his head back as she drops a little kiss to his forehead, then his nose.

“did you take me up here to have your way with me?” luke asks teasingly, his hands moving higher, sliding them under her skirt and just beneath her ass, pulling her even closer until his chin is resting on her stomach, looking up at her.

“and if I did?” she responds, hands going to his hair again, pulling on the curls lightly

“I’d consider myself a very lucky guy,” luke says smirking and she laughs.

Luke presses a kiss to her stomach before sliding his hand down to her knee again and pulling her leg over his hip, and she brings the other one with so she’s straddling him.

Luke’s hands fall to her hips, and she rolls them causing Luke to whimper slightly and he connects their lips together in a heated kiss, his hands sliding down to her ass and she rolls her hips again, grinding against him.

she slides her hands underneath his shirt, and up his chest and Luke pulls away so he can tug his shirt over his head, throwing it somewhere across the room.

Violet kisses his neck, his collarbone and places a bunch of kisses down his chest and lower stomach, moving down from the bed until she’s kneeling in front of him, sitting between his thighs, and Luke’s eyes drop to her chest, eyes transfixed in the way her cleavage is spilling out of her corset-top.

Violet smiles and teasingly runs her across the top of her breasts before sliding them behind her back and reaching for the zipper on her corset.

“can I try something new?” violet asks coyly and Luke rests his hands behind him, leaning back

“you can do whatever you want to me,” Luke says and Violet feels her cheeks heat up at the way his eyes dropped from hers to her chest and back up

the minute violet starts unzipping the corset-top, luke sits up straight.

“take off your pants,” Violet orders and Luke scrambles to comply, hastily unbuttoning his jeans and tugging them off. retaking his seat on the bed in just his boxers and watching as Violet finally lets her top fall to the ground, revealing her breasts and Luke feels his breath catch in his throat as she moves closer and reaches for his boxers.

“can I?” she asks tugging on the waistband and he just nods, lifting his hips, eyes not moving from her exposed breasts, as she pulls his boxers down, discarding them across the room

Violet wraps her hand around him and strokes him a few times, shuffling closer and rising on her knees, she taps luke’s thigh until he moves more to the edge of the bed and lays his dick right in between her breasts and a breath escapes him as she presses her arms against her boobs, pushing them together.

she tilts her head down and lets a string of spit fall from her mouth onto the tip of his dick, pushing her tits together with her hands and moving them up and down his dick.

“holy fuck,” Luke moans, resisting the urge to throw his head back or close his eyes cause he wants to witness, capture and remember this exact moment forever.

“is this- is it…do you need more?” Violet asks a little shyly, not sure if this was enough to get luke there by itself.

“it’s more than enough, it’s almost too much,” luke answers, a little short of breath, his voice hoarse

Luke starts thrusting his hips on his own, Violet only sitting there and letting him use her to get off. that thought turning her on way more than she thought it would.

“violet,” he groans, his hips stuttering a little

“can I?” he asks, referring to the fact that he wants to cum on her tits and she nods, desperate for it, just like him

a few seconds later Luke pulls away, aims his dick towards her chest and spills his cum on her breasts

“you didn’t-“ luke starts but Violet cuts him off

“I’m good. Promise,” Violet says, knowing he wants to argue

he sits there for a few seconds after, catching his breath and admiring his work. he gets up from the bed and cleans himself off, tugging on boxers and shorts before he’s out the door and to the washroom

he comes back a few minutes later with a wet cloth, helping Violet up from her knees and wiping her chest clean. she notices he wipes the same spot multiple times but doesn’t say anything.

he throws the cloth in his laundry hamper and walks towards his dresser, grabbing one of his shirts and making his way back to her. pulling the shirt over her head and helping her put her arms through.

Luke gently fixes her “L” necklace that sat askew, kissing it gently before dropping another kiss to her cheek and her forehead.

“you staying the night or do you want me to take you home?” luke asks, pulling her into his chest when he notices how tired she looks

“can I stay the night?” she mumbles into his chest and he smiles slightly, kissing her head

“of course. I’m gonna go grab you some water real quick. you need anything else?” Luke asks

“pain meds please,” she says and he hums, squeezing her tight before disappearing out the door again and she plops down on his bed, “resting her eyes” turning into sleep that Luke happily joined in on once he got back

a picture of her in red lingerie with her ‘LH’ tattooed on her hip

i forgot about this!!!

need more on this please 😍😍!!

Violet had gotten the tattoo done a few weeks before Luke was flying home for the summer. It had been something she was thinking about for a while and finally decided to just do it.

Not only was it Luke’s initials but it was also done in his hand writing. Violet had taken it from a note he had written her signed off as “LH” It was located an inch or so above her tailbone. She had to ask the girl who did it to take a picture in order to see it, and Violet had been quite satisfied by how it turned out.

Violet didn’t want to tell him. She wanted Luke to find it on his own, and he did. It happened one day at the lake house. The house was quiet since it was just the two of them, the rest of the guys going for a trip on the lake on the boat while Luke and vi stayed behind.

She was lying on a beach chair on her stomach, her bikini top untied to minimize her tan lines. Luke had decided to go inside for a nap while she was tanning but she could hear him open the door and approaching her.

“Here you go babe,” he says putting a drink next to her and bending down to kiss her shoulder.

“Thank you love,” Violet replies, squirming to try and contain her butterflies as Luke straddles the end of her beach chair and his hands fall to her ass.

“Damn,” he mumbles squeezing the flesh in his hands. He reaches up to adjust her bikini bottoms, pulling it down just enough to get a glimpse of her tattoo. He immediately pulls them down even more, gently brushing his fingers over the tattoo and bending so he can inspect it closer.

“Oh my God,” is all that escapes his mouth and Violet has to bite her lip to stop her laugh.

“What?” She asks amused

“Is that… Is this… When did you… what’s this?” He finally asks and Violet reaches back to grab his hand, putting it on her lower back again.

“It’s a tattoo,” Violet answers

“I can see that smart ass. You got a tattoo of my initials?” he asks

“Yeah. Do you…not like it?” Violet asks and she feels a little insecure for moment, worrying he doesn’t like it. Maybe she should’ve asked first.

“I’m on your skin.” He whispers in return, bending down again to get a closer look. He gently kisses the tattoo. He pokes his tongue out, and rubs the spot afterwards.

“I’m on your skin and it’s not coming off,” Luke says and Violet lets out a little giggle at how ridiculous he’s being right now.

Luke grabs her hips, maneuvering her so she’s sat on his lap, her chest pressed to his as he looks her in the eye.

“You got me tattooed on you.” He says and she nods.

“That’s forever,” Luke says as if she didn’t know that already

“This is forever,” she replies in return and the words barely left her mouth before Luke connects his lips to hers

“I love you,”

“I love you more” she says and locks her legs around Luke’s waist as he stands up and moves them to the bedroom, showing her just how much he likes the new tattoo.

I think she maybe wasn't on the couch with the family because she knew it would be on TV but she was directly behind them so he could hug her

“just sit on the couch,” luke pleads, watching violet fidget with her necklace

“no. that’s for family. close family,” vi argues and luke sighs, cupping her face gently between his hands

“you are part of my family,” luke argues and violet laughs softly

“luke,” she says giving him a look and he knows she’s not gonna give in

“fine. you can stand. but I want you right behind me. right. behind. me. okay? close enough to touch. please,” luke asks and she nods

“promise?” luke asks, holding out his pinky and she smiles, intertwining it with hers

“I promise. I’ll be right behind you Lu,” she says, and he pulls her into a tight hug

—

“Violet, sweetie, you’re more than welcome to sit on the couch if you want to,” Ellen says when she spots Vi behind the couch, Luke clinging to her hand

“I’m good right here, Mrs. Hughes. Thank you so much though. You look beautiful,” Violet compliments her and Ellen sends her a warm smile

“Thanks honey, so do you,” Ellen replies and Luke can’t help but agree

Luke will be so sweet to vi when she’s struggling on her period. Especially if she has particularly painful cramps or endometriosis

he would 🥺

and because he’s been there for so many of them he knows exactly what to do to make her feel better!! here’s a little blurb of one of the first times he took care of her though. another highschool luke and vi moment for you!!

———

“vi?” violet hears a whisper from her doorway, sitting up in her bed to look who was there, squinting a little because the room was dark and the sun had already set.

“luke? what are you doing here?” she asks groggily, rubbing her eyes and luke’s lips tip upwards into a little smile over how cute she looks

“I just came from practice. Your mom let me up. You went home early, and you weren’t answering your texts. I just… thought I’d stop by. See how you were doing. Drop off some papers we got in class today,”

“Oh you didn’t have to do that, thank you,” she mumbles and Luke nods, shifting on his feet a few times before sighing and walking closer to her bed

“what’s wrong? are you sick? I know the flu is going around school. did you take something for it? do I need to get you some-“

“I don’t have the flu, I’m okay,”

“are you sure? you don’t look so good…” luke says and winces when he sees the look on her face

“I mean you look good. You always look good. You just…look a little pale,” luke amends and violet smiles slightly

“I’m okay I’m just…I’m on my period and I have cramps and a headache and I feel a little sad-“

“you feel sad?” luke immediately asks, sitting on the bed next to her and cupping her cheek gently, a frown on his face

“yeah but for no particular reason. just hormones being weird,” violet explains and luke nods, the little furrow between his brows remaining

“is there anything I can do? get you anything?” luke asks and she shakes her head, pressing a soft kiss to his palm

“actually…can you watch a movie with me?” violet asks and luke stands up from the bed, immediately removes his jacket, taking his phone and keys out of the pocket of his sweats and putting it on the bedside table. he tugs his hoodie over his head and throws it at her

“I know you want it, I saw you eyeing it the second I walked in here,” Luke teases, getting on the bed next to her and she tugs the hoodie over her head before snuggling into his side, head settling on his chest, tucked under his chin

“can we watch secretariat?” luke asks softly, browsing through movies on her TV and she nods

“whatever you want lu,” she mumbles, eyes closed, not caring about the movie because she knows she’s gonna be asleep in a few minutes

ABOUT DAMN TIME - VIOLET & LUKE

❥ — ꒰ pairing ꒱ violet + luke hughes

❥ — ꒰ synopsis ꒱in which Violet and Luke tell those closest to them they're together!!

❥ — ꒰ content ꒱ fluff. maybe some swear words

❥ — ꒰ note ꒱ can't believe we haven't talked about this sooner!! thanks to the nonnie who suggested it!! I loved writing luke and violet from other people's perspectives

⌕ | jack (last few days of regular season)

Would find out first since he's the one who flew her to Jersey!! He comes back to the apartment a few hours later and finds them cuddled up on the couch together. He desperately studies both of their expressions trying to guess how their reunion went but nothing is really out of the ordinary. Luke has that content little smile on his face he always has when he's in Violet's presence and Violet has that little glint in her eye when she looks at him like he's hung the moon.

"hey," Luke says as he takes a seat on the couch they're not occupying and Jack just stares at them, waiting for them to say something, anything, but both of them simply turn their attention back to the TV.

"Are you hungry babe?" Luke asks, kissing Violet on the cheek before her reaches for his phone, probably to order something.

"A little," Violet replies and Jack releases an annoyed breath.

"Are you two together now?" Jack asks abruptly and both of them look at him.

"I just kissed her and called her babe. That's not enough to tell you we're together now?" Luke asks and Jack just stares at him dumbfounded for a moment because Jack can't even remember how many times Luke has called Violet babe and kissed her over the past seven years.

"Yes, we're together now," Violet says, linking her fingers with Luke's as they exchange big grins.

"Thank fuck. Only took you about seven years," Jack says and Luke throws him with a pillow, but Jack just looks at them with a fond smile on his face.

⌕ | quinn // ellen + jim (2023 new jersey playoffs)

Violet and Luke were sitting closely together at a table in the New Jersey box, along with Ellen, Jim, and Quinn, all of them waiting for them game to start.

"Think they're gonna play you soon?" Quinn asks Luke and he shrugs, running his hand through Violet's hair.

"I don't know. It's the playoffs. Don't know if they want a rookie out there," Luke mumbles

"They'd be stupid not to use you, they haven't been playing very great anyway. A change would be good," Violet says smiling optimistically up at him and he can't help but lower his head and connect their lips in a soft kiss. All eyes shoot to Ellen when a gasp leaves her mouth.

"Oh my God. You kissed! Jim they kissed. You kissed," she directs that last sentence almost accusingly at Luke and Violet.

"What? I'm not allowed to kiss my girlfriend?" Luke asks cheekily and Ellen gasps again as Quinn chuckles.

"Damn," Quinn says grinning widely, knocking his shoulder into Violet's.

"You guys are finally together?" Ellen asks, grabbing Violet's hands that lie on the table and squeezing them tightly, smiling lovingly at her and Violet nods.

"It's about damn time," Jim says sending Violet a wink and they all laugh.

⌕ | dylan, mark, ethan (summer '23)

"you know, since Luke moved out, we have the extra room in the house..." Mark says wiggling his eyebrows suggestively and Violet laughs at him, shaking her head.

"Stop flirting with my girlfriend Estapa," Luke yells from the kitchen and Dylan jumps up so quickly he knocks over the chair he was sitting on.

"He said girlfriend. Are you his girlfriend?!" Dylan yells and Violet laughs nodding at him.

"How long?" Ethan asks frowning as Luke comes back into the living room with drinks.

"Only a few weeks now..." Luke answers and Dylan pouts a little, picking up his chair.

"And you guys didn't tell me? I've been suffering through your mutual obliviousness for years," Dylan says and Violet has to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing at how genuinely upset he looks.

"We wanted to wait to tell you in person Dukes," Luke says softly and his friend contemplates a few minutes before grinning, jumping and attacking Luke in a big hug.

"You're dating her!" Dylan says, a little bit of disbelief in his tone.

"I know," Luke replies, in the same tone, thinking back to how many times he's gushed about his feelings for Violet to his best friend.

"Congrats guys," Ethan says tapping Luke on the back and giving her a quick hug.

"Well it's about time, I was about to steal your girl," Mark says and Violet laughs. It's a bit of a running joke they have to call Mark "Mr. Steal your girl" for how often he accidentally flirts with a teammates girlfriend.

As Violet takes a seat on her boyfriend's lap she can't help but agree. It's about damn time.

Luke ignoring her at a party freshman year because he’s trying to be cool with the hockey guys

she told luke she wasn't sure if her and jules were gonna go but they show up later that night. and she spots luke immediately, standing with a bunch of the guys from the team.

and when luke merely glances over her head and doesn't make a move to call her over or say hi, she tugs jules to the kitchen to get them both a drink. and before they can go over to where the guys were standing luke crowds her against the counter, his hands on either side of her

"hey," she greets, looking up at him

"hey, uh do me a favour?" luke asks, glancing towards the living room

"yeah?" violet asks, turning his head back towards her

"keep jules away from the guys tonight okay? dylan doesn't want her close to them," luke says, getting distracted by the way she was playing with the hem of his T-shirt

"really?" violet asks dryly

"yeah, you know they have that weird thing going on where they pretend like there's nothing going on between them-" violet turns luke's head back to the living room before he can finish his sentence towards where jules was cuddled up to dylan's side. in an animated discussion with owen

luke closes his eyes and drops his head back, letting out a little sigh. violet makes sure to focus her glare above his throat so she doesn't get distracted.

"so keep jules away from the guys is really a keep violet away from the guys huh? you afraid I'm gonna embarrass you or something," violet mumbles, trying to keep the hurt out of her voice. not wanting him to know how much the idea of not being included in every aspect of his life would hurt her.

"you could never embarrass me," luke responds, his hand moving to her hip but she pushes it away gently. knowing if he gets hands on her, she'll give in

"then why don't you wanna introduce me?" violet asks.

because I can't introduce you as mine. luke thinks but doesn't voice it out loud

"because I don't know all of them that well yet. and I haven't had a chance to warn them," luke says, his lips tipping up into a smile as violet gasps

"warn them about what?" she asks, pinching his stomach and he laughs, taking her hand in his and pulling her tightly to him. her head resting perfectly on her regular spot on his chest

"warn them about how absolutely stunning you are. and funny. and talented-" luke says laughing when Violet just hums

"who's that?" mark asks, nudging dylan and all the guys' eyes fall on luke and vi standing in the kitchen. Violet giggling as Luke presses a kiss to her forehead

"oh that's violet. luke's other best friend," dylan says

"friend? they're not dating?" owen asks and dylan shakes his head

"oh it's instagram girl," brendan says and all the guys nod as if a lightbulb went off collectively

"instagram girl?" mark asks

"prom girl," thomas says, thinking of all the pictures they saw her in on luke's instagram

"red bikini girl," ethan supplies and mark nods

"oh,"

"of course that's the picture you remember," KJ says shaking his head and mark's cheeks tint red

Jack and Trevor soooo knows and so teases him about that

Vi is just confused and a little hurt he’s ignoring her

she thinks she’s being clingy and he doesn’t like it. which is weird because usually he’s even more clingy than she is :(

“did I do something wrong? are you mad at me?”

“what? no,” luke says when they’re laying in bed later that night. Luke has barely touched her the whole day and he’s kinda avoiding her. she doesn’t know what she did wrong.

“really? because i don’t know, you’ve kinda been avoiding me today. and I get it if you need space and I’ve been a little clingy you know? I can sleep in the other room, or maybe go home for a few days-“ she rambles but luke interrupts her by putting his hands on her waist and pulling her closer so she’s laying with her head on his chest.

“you’re not going anywhere. And you’re not clingy, we’re just- affectionate. I just- you’re hot,” he says and she frowns, lifting her head so she can look at him

“what do you mean?”

“I mean you’re beautiful and I notice. Of course I notice. And when we’re always touching like this, my body notices too,” Luke mumbles and Violet frowns a bit before she raises her eyebrows

“oh. OH,”

“yeah. so like, I just needed to remind it that you’re friend Violet you know. And you can be hot friend Violet but you can’t be just hot Violet, if that makes sense,” Luke says, pressing his lips together.

“Um kind of,” she replies, letting out a soft laugh and kissing his chest.

What is Jack and Quinn’s reactions to Jax and his name??

“Oh my God, he’s so tiny.” Jack whispers, trailing a finger against Jax’s cheek.

“don’t drop him,” Quinn says and Jack shoots him a glare

“I’m not gonna drop him,” Jack snaps

“what’s the little guy’s name?” Quinn asks, fascinated by touching Jax’s tiny hand

Luke looks at Vi first, checking to see if she wanted to tell them but she reassures him that he can by smiling gently and squeezing his hand

“his name is Jax Quintin Hughes” Luke says and both Jack and Quinn stares at the two of them when suddenly Jack holds the baby out to Quinn

“Quinn take him! I can’t see,” Jack says panicked

“what do you mean you can’t see?” Quinn asks as he takes Jax from him, gently holding him against his chest

“I mean my eyes are watery and I can’t see,”

“you mean you’re crying?” Luke asks amused and Jack just looks at him with a glare

“you named him after me?” Jack asks

“you and Daxton,” Violet confirms

“and then obviously his middle name comes from Quinn,” Luke says and Quinn can’t help but grin at the little guy in his arms

Jack walks over to the bed and kisses Violet on the head, hugging her tightly before walking to the other side and doing the same to his little brother.

“Little Jax. You got the best parents you know that?” He whispers softly to him, turing away from Jack, not wanting him to see his own tears falling.

Oooh Ellen asking Luke for a favor and when he agrees she tells him to go to the airport and pick up his wife. And they’re so happy to see each other. And Vi finally tells him.

“Luke, do me a favour,” Ellen says as they’re eating breakfast

“Yeah,” Luke answers

“Go pick up your wife from the airport,” she says and Luke drops his spoon in his cereal

“She’s here?” Luke asks softly and Ellen nods

An hour later Luke’s waiting for her at the airport, his heart clenching painfully when he spots her walking towards him. Dark circles under her eyes which indicates that she’s slept just as badly as he did these last few nights.

She slows her steps and stops a few inches in front of him not knowing if Luke wants to touch her right now. Luke makes the decision for her when he tugs at the belt loops of her jeans and presses her against him, his arms wrapping around her in a tight embrace.

His head drops to her shoulder and it takes her a few minutes to realize he’s crying.

“Baby,” Violet whispers softly, her hand finding a place in his hair, and he lifts his head.

“Let’s go home, I have so much to say to you,” violet says, brushing a fallen tear away.

When they get to Ellen and Jim’s house, Luke is grateful that his mom got everyone out of the house and him and Violet can talk alone.

Violet smiles softly when her and Luke enter his childhood bedroom, they have so many memories in this room.

“You’re not allowed to leave me. You promised me forever and I’m holding you to that promise. You’ve never been a liar Vi, don’t make yourself one.”

“Lu I’m so so sorry-“

“No. Don’t apologize. You were right, I was expecting you to stay home after we had kids. Take care of them like my mom took care of us. And that wasn’t fair to you. Your dreams and your career are just as important as mine and I’ll do whatever I can to help you achieve them. And in the future when we have kids, we’ll figure it out baby. I’ll do whatever you want me to okay? None of this is worth it if I can’t come home to you at the end of the day.” Luke says and Violet has stopped trying to prevent herself from crying.

“I’m pregnant,” she whispers and Luke’s expression goes from shock to pure joy.

“You’re pregnant?” He questions and she nods

“We’re gonna be parents?” he says picking her up and twirling her around

“Oh my God,” he breathes as he puts her down and sinks to his knees in front of her, gently kissing her stomach.

“My baby is in there,” Luke says smugly and Violet hits him on the shoulder

“Our baby,” she corrects

“Our baby. A little bit of you and me. Gonna be one awesome kid.” Luke says with a grin on his face

“Are you happy?”

“The happiest. You make me the happiest,” Luke says standing up and kissing her softly.

“You have my heart Violet Hughes,” Luke whispers against her lips.

“You have mine, always.” She replies

#⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ violet + luke ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

[bedsyandco]

Ellen calls her near tears and she’s like “are you leaving my baby?” Knowing this would absolutely destroy Luke beyond repair

Violet breaks down on the phone with Ellen.

This would be when Ellen sees violet didn’t come home for Christmas and after talking to Jack a little bit to hear what’s going on she decides to call her.

“Hello?” Violet says softly, a little scared of the reaction she’s gonna get at the other end of the phone.

“Are you leaving my baby?” Ellen asks softly and violets eyes instantly tear up

“Not even entertaining the idea for one second,” violet says and Ellen let’s out a relieved sigh

“What’s going on sweet girl?”

“I’m pregnant,” Violet says, unable to stop the tears from falling and Ellen gasps

“How long?”

“I’m guessing around 6 weeks,”

“Does Luke know?”

“No, I haven’t told him.” Violet admits softly

“How are you feeling?”

“I feel a lot of things. Happy, nervous, scared.” Violet says

“Do you not think Luke will be happy?” Ellen asks, trying to understand what’s going on

“I think he’s going to be overjoyed. I’m just trying to come to terms with a few things I guess. I spent the last 7 years in school, only to be a stay at home mom. And there’s nothing wrong with it, I just feel like I wasted so much of my time and money on something that I’m not even gonna use now,” violet explains

“You don’t have to be a stay at home mom Vi, you can do whatever you want to do. You guys can get a nanny, or we can move closer and I’ll help you take care of the baby while you work. There’s other options,” Ellen says and Violet feels her heart swell with love.

“Thank you. The more I’ve thought about staying home with the baby these last few days, the more it appeals to me. I think that’s one of the reasons I’m not handling this so well. All I’ve ever wanted was to be a doctor and now…all I can see when I think about my future is me and little Hughes sitting on the couch watching daddy play,” Violet says with a soft smile on her face.

“It’s your life Violet and you get to make the choices for it. And guess what? You can change your mind as many times as you want to. If you stay home for a few months and decide it’s not for you, you wanna go back to work, do that. If you go back to work and decide you wanna stay home, do that. There’s no one size fits all, it’s about what works for you and what you want.”

“You’re right. I’ve just been so stressed about what I’m gonna do and…God I’ve been so terrible to Luke,” Violet says softly

“You guys are going to be okay, just talk to him Vi. Jack booked your flight home, I’ll send you the details, I expect to see you here by tomorrow night.”

“Yes ma’am,”

She was giggling at Luke’s speech

“baby,” she giggles as he buries his face in her neck

“that was so embarrassing,” he groans against her skin and she puts one hand on his shoulder and the other on the nape of his neck

“no it wasn’t, it was very endearing,” she says

“endearing? perfect. exactly what I was going for…” he replies sarcastically, placing his hands on her hips and pulling her closer to him, biting his lip when he gets a peek of cleavage in her red dress.

“at least I can pretend everyone is looking at you cause you look hot as fuck and not me cause of my embarrassing speech,” Luke says and frowns immediately after, the thought of people staring at Violet because she’s so beautiful not bringing him as much comfort as he thought.

The friendship bracelet breaks and Luke is struggling to try and make to new ones but forgets to tell her and she just sees it off his wrist and thinks he took it off on purpose

like it accidentally hooks on something and ends up snapping, the little beads tumbling to the floor. Luke is really upset. He's had that bracelet for so long.

Luke picks up every single one and puts them in a little box, making a mental note to pick up some string from the store so he can make another one.

he was driving Violet home when she noticed it. His hand on the steering wheel and his wrist was looking a little too empty and she saw the bracelet was missing.

it's hard to describe all the emotions she felt and that moment, but they all added up to one big ball of hurt that felt like it was stuck at the bottom of her throat.

she diverted her gaze out the window, blinking her eyes rapidly, hoping to keep the tears at bay.

she wondered why he took it off? was it payback because she took her necklace off? or was he seeing someone and she didn't want him to wear it? he would tell her if he was right? When she got home, she mumbled a half goodbye to Luke and had a big cry

Luke had already bought the new string, but every time he put the beads on....it just looked wrong. maybe it wasn't in the right order? he rearranged them about 5 times, and it still didn't look right. tears pricked his eyes as he got frustrated, and then he got even more frustrated because who cries over a bracelet?

Luke hasn't played a game without this bracelet since he got it, and he wasn't starting now. So he texted Vi that he was on his way and made his way over there.

"Lu, what's wrong? You said it was an emergency, " she says as she answers the door, and he smiles, seeing her in his t-shirt and a messy bun on her head.

"I accidentally broke it. I can't fix it. And I can't concentrate on anything else. Please help me," he begs, holding out his palm, the bracelet hanging between his fingers.

"Come in," Violet says, taking the bracelet from him. They sit at the dining room table while violet starts making the bracelet again.

"You didn't spray perfume on it," Luke blurts out, and vi smiles at him softly before running upstairs and grabbing her perfume, spraying the string with it before continuing to put the beads back on.

"So you didn't take it off?" Violet asks

"What?"

"I thought you took the bracelet off, when I didn't see it on your wrist." She clarifies

"Of course not. I wear it all the time." Luke says as Vi ties the string, standing up and motioning for Luke to hold his hand out so she can put it back on his wrist.

She stands between his legs, still holding his hand and gently brushing her lips over his knuckles. Luke's other hand cups the back of her leg, gently running up and down. When his hand goes up a little too high, she steps back and clears her throat.

"You should probably go," she whispers, and Luke makes his way out of the house and into his car, smiling when he sees the bracelet on his wrist. Content to have atleast a little part of her with him.
