Arcanum punishing me for not letting people step all over me is such a crushing thing to see
I've paid my dues 😭

staring {bert}
prompt: "You do realise you've been staring for ten minutes already?"
character: bert (mary poppins) x female reader
You couldn't quite believe all that you'd been experiencing lately. The magical woman that was Mary Poppins had quite literally flown into your lives and changed it all for the better. You were quite glad you'd been visiting your sister, her husband and your niece and nephew this week so that you were around for all of the magical chaos.
"Come and see this, Aunt (y/n)!" Jane, your niece, grinned tugging you over to look at one of Bert's chalk creations he'd drawn onto the tiled pavement.
"There's us!" Michael, your nephew, shouted excitedly as he crouched to point at the two small chalk children and the taller, smiling woman who you recognised to be me.
"Oh, Bert's drawn me too." A smile pulled your lips upwards, glancing over your shoulder to smile at the chimney sweep who was smiling back at you. You turned back trying not to let the red from your cheeks be seen by him.
You'd only met Bert this week, met him through the children and Mary Poppins, but my god, he was charming. He was handsome, funny, caring and he just seemed like a good man. You'd developed a little fancy for him. It was silly, you thought, but it wasn't silly, not to Bert.
"You do realise you've been staring at (y/n) for ten minutes?" A voice chimed next to Bert making him snap out of his trance. He'd been watching you with your niece and nephew, watched as you entertained them, watched as you smiled and laughed.
"I 'ave not," he said, red coating his cheeks as Mary Poppins smirked knowingly next to him, "just admiring my work is all."
"Or admiring the children's Aunt."
Bert breathed through his nose, readjusting his grip on the chimney sweeper he held, "She's nice, that's all."
Mary Poppins smiled at him, resting a kind hand on his forearm, "S'quite alright, Bert. She had the same reaction when I caught her staring at you yesterday."
Bert nodded as Mary Poppins walked off before he realised what she'd said, "'Ang on a minute! She what?!"
