A gift to the queen who deserves all 500 of her followers :) I wanted to write something for you as congrats, I hope you like it :))

It's a fairwell/chenry high school au loosely based on west side story since I was watching it earlier today

Charlotte sighed with relief when she finished with the last bit of homework. She cannot believe they weren't allowing her to leave her room, even going so far as to stand outside her door and at the bottom of her window. The brunette wondered if that was how every princess felt before they were rescued, trapped and alone, waiting for someone who sees them beyond their beauty and status.

'If only he would come.' She thought sadly. There was a knock at the door, no doubt it was Tatiana coming to talk about how much she hates the preppy sophomore, Will. "Come in." Charlotte said, barely loud enough to be heard. A pretty brunette girl came through the door instead of the demon in the shape of a 14 year old girl. 'Tessa?' She thought, 'why is she here?'

"Hello, Charlotte." Tessa said with a smile. "I was just talking with your guardian, Benedict, right? I told him about our project for science." A message from Henry. Oh he did come save her after all!

"I had completely forgotten, I'm grounded right now so I don't think I can go.."

"Nonsense," Benedict's first born, Gideon, said stepping into the room. "Father says as long as Gabe and I accompany you, you can go. There better not be any boys working on this project."

"Of course not, Gideon. No boys."

Gideon smiled and winked, "let's go then." 'Does he know? Is he helping me-' "Get all your stuff for the project." 'He does know! He's helping me escape!' She realized.

Charlotte packed up the small amount of stuff she had with her quickly. Tessa told Benedict that since it was Friday they were going to stay up late for the project, and then stay the night at Tessa's house, he asked if any of us minded Gideon and Gabriel staying the night as well, just to 'keep an eye on their 'sister''. Tessa said that they could sleep in the guest bedroom, and that she would feel safe having two tough guys in the house since her parents are in New York for a business trip.

Charlotte almost started crying when they got in the car and headed towards Henry's. Gideon and Gabriel were also leaving, Gideon turned 18 a few months after Charlotte and had been subtly making himself Gabriel's proper guardian. Henry had pulled them aside and told them his plan, that he loved Charlotte and wanted her to be safe from Benedict's control, Gideon could tell he was telling the truth and offered a deal, he'll get her away for good but he has to let him and his brother stay with them at Henry's weirdly large apartment.

She rushed out of the car and up the stairs to Henry's apartment, knocking rapidly in excitement. He answered the door and almost fell down by the force of Charlotte's hug, he squeezed her tightly, mumbling about how much he loved and missed her. If she wasn't crying before she definitely was now, she pulled away to look at him, he was her favorite sight.

Henry felt his legs shake, going numb again. "Lottie, help me to the couch please."

"Of course, my love." It was a running joke that she would carry him like a bride wherever he needed to go, which ever led to him breaking down and apologizing about not being strong enough to make her feel like the queen she is, Charlotte kissed him to shut him up because she thought it was utter nonsense.

She picked him up with not too much difficulty and laid him down on his favorite couch, the bouncy one with very ugly colors and patterns on it. He pulled her on top of him and kissed the top of her head, the brunette rolled her eyes playfully and grabbed the blanket that was hanging over the side of the couch.

She tried her best to put it over them but eventually Henry just had to do it since he was at a better angle than her. She heard Gideon and Gabriel come in, and Henry telling them to put their stuff in the two bedrooms that shared a bathroom and 'Lottie's' stuff in his. The brothers said goodnight before going into their rooms, Henry turned on one of those old movies that he liked, she could feel herself falling asleep, finally safe in her genius' arms.

"Can't wait to marry you.." She mumbled too tired to have control of her words.

Henry didn't even stiffen at the thought of marrying her, instead he smiled and kissed her forehead. "Tomorrow, that way he can't take you away again."

Charlotte couldn't believe this was her life now. Henry's parents and his friends' parents were involved in the candy and food business, and Benedict, who had adopted Charlotte when her parents died, was a food critic and kept trying to shut them all down. There wasn't anything wrong with the food, he just didn't like them. She remembers meeting Henry for the first time, at his moms' diner downtown. That was her mom's favorite place, she went there every year on the anniversary of their deaths.

Henry had just started working there, though his parents were worried seeing as the physical therapy was helping his legs much. Charlotte thought he was beautiful in his little apron. She got the same thing everytime she went, and she started going back more often just to see him, so he remembered her order.

Everytime she came in, he was quick to start her order before she's even seated. He wanted her to know that he remembered her. They got closer and closer during their visits at the diner. She once stayed from noon to almost one in the morning to help him with his shift because his legs weren't cooperating very well that day.

Charlotte wasn't expecting to see him at her new school when Benedict moved them so he'd be closer to work. They had every class together and got even closer, even going as far as adopting the new group of freshmen coming in with Gabriel when they were juniors. That's when things went south.

Henry's legs were getting worse, confining him to a wheelchair for most of the day, not to mention Benedict found out about them. He moved all her classes and grounded her and forbid her from seeing him, he used some not so nice language when describing Henry's condition and the fact that he has two moms. Charlotte was devastated, how could he do this to her after she had everything he ever asked with zero complaints or hesitation! But even during the torture that senoir had started out with, they still saw each other, she still went to the diner with Gabe and Gideon, and she still helped push his wheelchair around regardless if she would be late for class.

But he was her genius, he found a way for them to be together, and without resorting to violence or running away illegally to where Benedict could just get her back easily. Henry was her person, her happy ever after. And even though she didn't like the way fairy tales portray women, he always made her feel like Belle, beautiful and smart, kind and nurturing. Charlotte couldn't care less about their troubles, she was just glad they were getting their happy ending.

Summary: the request!

Genre: FLUFFFFFF

Song:

(not my gif) (look at him bro.)

As it turned out, Edward knew who his soulmate was from the time he was all of 7 years old. He remembered it vividly, her pretty dress that was swaying in the sunlight and the light wind of summer air. You reminded him of the sky when it was filled with clouds. Filled with vibrant color and mysterious photos to dephier.

He met you when you were running down the street, trying to catch a small red ball that had fallen out of the yard of your suburban home. He was in his own lawn, trousers stained green from the grass that he was laying on. Your ball had come to roll right past his feet when he had just sat up. There was a moment of fate there. When he looked back at it he knew it.

He had been looking at the sky for 20 some minutes and if he hadn’t thought, just then, that he should get up, he never would have been your ball roll past his feet and therefore, never would have met you. You came just after it, hair whipping behind you. He knew what was happening very quickly and got up, running after it. His dress shoes hit the ground hard but he was faster than you. He got there just before it fell into another lawn, lost forever in a grumpy grown ups lawn.

You slowed to a halt beside him, catching your breath. There was a smile on your face immediately, a cheeky 7 year old smile. You threw your arms around him. He swears to this day that he had never known anything as clearly as he knew he would marry you right then.

“Thank you mister! My names Y/N and you’ve helped me get my play ball. That's very nice of you.” Your voice was childish and so was his when he spoke back.

“My names Edward Bloom. I’m very glad to meet you Y/N.” Your eyes sparkled in a way he had never seen before. It made his stomach fill with butterflies. He handed the ball back but you didn’t leave, your feet rocking back and forth as you thought of what to say next. You knew you should have just ran away after saying thank you, back to your yard all the way down the street, but something told you not to.

“Would you like to play with me Edward?” He nodded eagerly.

“I would love to play with you!”

You walked back down the street where you had come from, passing his house to yours. Your hair was tucked in a way that he loved and the way you walked was entrancing. His eyes followed you everywhere you went. On went a typical kid conversation, skipping the small talk to stories about fairies you have seen in your yard and the horses that crossed the street to his house.

When he had to leave that night, he knew he would return. There was something about you and the way your dress pooled at your feet.

“I’m going to marry you one day Y/N,” he had said when he was on the sidewalk, ready to go home. You giggled and brushed a piece of hair out of your face.

“Oh Edward Bloom.”

You hadn’t said yes but you had wanted to. You liked to tease him, even as a child. He walked back to his house with a blush on his cheeks and a new purpose to his life. He would have stayed there forever if he was allowed to but he was just a kid then.

He grew up though.

Just like you did.

You ended up moving out of your house when you were the young age of 10 years old, just 3 years after Ed had first told you that he wanted to marry you. He had repeated it since then, over and over and it was like a mantra when you parted. A promise that you held dear to your heart.

Your parents joked about the crush the two of you had on one another but they could never understand the severity of the feelings that two 10 year olds could share. He had been your first kiss and your first boyfriend but he was also your first love. You understood what love was better than anyone in that small neighborhood.

You wanted nothing less than to leave your best friend and move away. It was devastating. When you told him he broke down crying, promising that he would always want to marry you and that you would always be his best friend. Soulmates couldn’t be parted like this though. Into the both of your teen years you had dated other people, while never really forgetting one another.

You, even at the age of 21, knew for a fact that was no puppy love. That was love in its purest form, no fighting and no worries. You had had boyfriends since but none that would ever compare to the absent Edward Bloom from your youth.

You sat on the porch of a friends house. She had just moved into a small little town that you really liked, even if it was your first time there. Your dress was blowing in the wind underneath you so you held it down with a hand, looking at the houses in front of you. The town was pastel and filled with wonder. You thought about maybe moving there as well, working at a downtown shop and being a happy single girl there.

You wore no shoes on your feet as you stood up, walking through the small grass lawn. When you moved when you were 10 you moved into the harsh city. You hated it there, the crowds and pollution filled companies. You hadn’t been to a place like this since you were 10.

You brushed a piece of hair behind your ear as the wind blew and looked down the street. You were surprised to find a bouncing ball rolling your way. You looked for the child it belonged to and scooped it into your arms. You thought about your childhood Edward as you did so, fingers brushing the harsh leather. You looked down the street again and a little girl came running to you, smiling in relief.

“Thank you! You’ve got my ball!” You handed it back to her.

“Of course.” Your voice was soft and loving. She reminded you of yourself. She gave you a nod and turned.

“Mr.Bloom I got the ball!”

You looked up at the man that was waiting in the lawn for her. His hair was swept back carefully but it had messy spots, presumably from playing around. You felt your heart stop. Grown as he was, you knew the man before you.

His had momentarily stopped as well. He had just been passing through this town on his newest grand adventure. He had been playing with some neighborhood kids harmlessly, never imagining this.

“Edward Bloom.” There was no question in your voice as you spoke aloud but he nodded anyway.

“My Y/N.” Your fast walk to him became a run and then you were jumping into his arms, relishing in the feel of him again. The comfort he was able to give you hadn’t changed over the years. While the two of you were a little more worn and torn, your souls had barely differed.

The little girl watched you, giggling but you didn’t care. He put you back down but didn’t let go of you, afraid you might leave again. You put your hands on his face, feeling him under your hands again. There was little that would have made you happier.

“You’re here. I can’t believe you’re here!” you exclaimed with a bubbling laugh. His favorite sound.

“I was just passing through but decided to stop...fate yet again,” he promised. Your thoughts flashed to a few minutes before at your love for the town you had only just entered.

“I knew there was something amazing waiting around the corner in this place.”

You studied his face, taking in his features.

“You grew up but didn’t change at all. Still the most gorgeous creature on the planet,” he whispered. You flushed and kissed his cheek, something you had done many times when you were a kid.

“And my handsome Edward, you’ve only gotten taller.” His hand brushed your hair and he leaned forward, kissing you lightly.

There was something slow about it, like you had the world before you, like your childlike wonder had never ceased. When he pulled away you placed a head on his chest. He hugged you tightly. The little girl had gone to play with her friends again, ignoring the obvious love. You heard your friend call you and pulled away hesitantly. You couldn’t lose him again.

“Where are you going?”

“Everywhere.” You laughed, looking at your friend and giving her a wave to leave. She screamed your name again, ignoring your gesture. You turned to him.

“You got any room for one more?” He nodded.

“For you? Of course.”

“I’ll be back. I have to get my things. Don’t leave. Don’t go anywhere, you understand?” He nodded and you kissed him once more, running back to the house, your bare feet relishing in the grass as you returned.

“Y/N!” Edward called. You turned, hair swinging around as you did so.

“Will you marry me now?!”

Your smile was bright enough to light the universe for decades.

“Yes Edward Bloom!”

You turned and disappeared inside the house to get your things, leaving a blushing and extatic Edward in your wake.
