Darling Death
A collaboration with @sufferingstarlight
Warnings: underworld, death, lake/pit of flames, pregnancy and pregnancy symptoms, violence and language, adult situations, not proofread
Chapter 15
Timothee’s scream was guttural. Vibrating off the walls of the Underworld, shaking me to my very core. Death laughed behind me, but I didn’t dare turn to face him. Death’s invisible grip on Timothee must’ve released, allowing him to come barreling out of the pit of flames, which from my viewpoint looked more like a lake. A never ending, all-encompassing lake of torture. 
“Y/n!” Timothee screamed for me, barreling out of the flames. 
“Timothee!” I yelled for him, needing to feel him in my arms again. Needing to smell his smoky scent. He grabbed me, and what was normally an ice-cold touch, was burning hot. I didn’t care. He cupped my face, his fingers grazing my skin the way they always did. Then his mouth was on mine, kissing me passionately. My skin began glossing with sweat, I felt it roll down my temple, tickling my skin. Steam rose from my skin where Timothee’s hands touched me. He kissed me like it was the last time he was going to be able to, like his entire existence depended on it. When he pulled away, he rested his nose on mine, the simple touch emitting another billow of steam. 
Slow, deliberate clapping pulled our attention away from each other. Death stood on a balcony of lava rocks, and they themselves were an enigma. He was far away, yet everywhere all at once. Inescapable. When he talked his voice came from all directions, even behind you, like built in surround sound.
“Done yet?” Death asked in a mocking tone. 
“You can’t have her!” Timothee screamed, his hand travelling to my stomach and a whole new overwhelming sense of dread came over me. I’m pregnant. Death said it was so, and suddenly all the torment I’d been going through the last week made total sense. The vomiting, the visions, not being able to keep my temperature up and the slew of other symptoms I’d been experiencing came to mind. Fuck. I was pregnant with a half-human, half-reaper baby. But being pregnant wasn’t what scared me. What scared me was the pit of flames and losing myself and my unborn child to them. My hand slid over top of Timothee’s and for a split second, I saw him look down at me and smile. 
“A deal is a deal, Thirteen,” Death said in a dark coolness that left me sick. He made his way down the balcony, which shifted into steps as he walked. One appearing after the other with each step. 
“Please. Please there has to be another way!” I begged.
“You’d be destroying something that could be very useful for you, Death,” Timothee said, his hand sliding away from my still flat belly as he met Death in the center of the room. “I saw your face when she came in. You knew instantly, you felt the power. I did too. Think of what we could do with this.”
I knew my Timothee all too well. He was bribing Death, buying time. For a moment I’m in awe. Timothee sounds so powerful, so confident standing up to the one and only Death. I’m filled with pride until Death’s voice sneaks up behind me. It makes me jump and peppers my skin with chills. He’s not moved from his position, yet I hear his voice like he’s whispering in my ear. And I fucking hate it. 
“Do you take me for a fool, Thirteen?” Death asks, his voice seething. Timothee says nothing. I saw his jaw tighten from where I stood. “Step aside.”
“No.” 
“I’m giving you the opportunity to move, Thirteen. I’m saving you. I’m riding your life of this mortal and the child she carries. You can go back to your position you can reap as you always have. But the girl will burn today and forever.”
Death took another step forward and Timothee grabbed one of their cloaked arms. They yanked away from Timothee’s grasp, a look of disgust plastered on their face. “But, you can’t,” Timothee said, his voice cracking, pleading and desperate. “If she goes into the flames, she won’t burn forever.” He looked over at me, his eyes shaking with sadness. “She’ll-”
“Die,” Death finished, for him. “I know.” An insidious grin spread across their face and without another step, I’m shoved backward with an unnatural dark force that I was unable to fight back against it. I dug my heels into the gravel, pushing against the force. I reach for Timothee as he began running toward me, but an invisible grip pulls him back and throws him against the farthest wall in the underworld. And the last thing I saw was Timothee. I made myself focus on him. The one thing that mattered in my life, the one thing I loved more than anything else. I listen to him scream my name, the way he cried each syllable. Then I no longer saw. I no longer heard. I only felt. Fire.
Timothee’s POV: 
“Y/N!” I sobbed. 
Death stood in the center of the room, one hand out toward where y/n once stood, the other back toward me, holding me against the wall like the fucking coward he was. 
“Let me go you fucking bastard!” I screamed, trying not to picture y/n sinking into the flames, knowing it was useless. That memory will forever be etched into my brain as what broke me. I was nothing without her. Even when she banished me, I was content in knowing she was alive and safe in the Upperworld. Now her and my child were gone. Forever. “Let me go and fucking kill me. It’s what you wanted from the beginning. You wanted me gone. Well now’s your chance. End me. Now.”
“And rid you of an eternal existence filled with suffering and despair?” Death asked as if it was a legitimate question. “Now, Thirteen, when have I ever been that merciful?” Death’s grip releases and I slide down the wall, landing on the ground with an ugly thud. They walked over to me until their presence loomed over, radiating heat and evil. “Get up,” they snarled, disgust evident in their voice. “You’ve got work to do.” 
“Fuck you,” I spat.
“I can arrange that, Thirteen, you know I’ve never been apposed to-”
I reach into nothing, pulling my scythe out of thin air, bringing the blade to my neck.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Thirteen,” death said with a scoff, attempting to not care, but I saw it. The way their eyes dilated with fear.
“You can’t go on without reapers. It’s us that keep you alive, feeding you souls. One less reaper means less power flowing into you.” 
“You wouldn’t.”
“I will. You removed my entire reason of being. And an existence without y/n is not one I’m willing to continue.” 
I pressed the tip of my scythe into my neck, I felt it pierce my skin, the black blood ooze from the wound. Death lunged for me, gripping the blade of my scythe. One more push and it would be over. I looked back to the lake of fire and stop. My grip on my scythe loosens. Death saw my reaction and followed my gaze to the flames. Then we heard it. A bubbling, like boiling water growing louder by the second. Billows of black smoke erupted from the pit, and lava splashed over the sides, scorching the ground, leaving ugly burn marks all around the perimeter of the lake. 
“No,” Death whispered. “No, it can’t be.”
Slowly, I stood. And that’s when I saw her. Her head, poking up through the flames. Gradually, inch by inch more of her was revealed. A pair of solid black eyes popped out from the flames. Her eyebrows arched in eternal anger. The rest of her face followed. Her features just as beautiful and ten times more lethal than she was before she went in. She rose from the lake of fire by a force far stronger than Death was and ever will be. Her palms held out and by her side, her feet pointed like a skilled ballerina. Flames licked her skin but did not burn her. She was one with them.
And damn, was she beautiful.

Hi it’s Haven’s princess, I just want to let you know that she’s safe and everything’s alright. She’s not quite sure what’s happened to her @sufferingstarlight blog.
Tumblr wasn’t loading and then she couldn’t access anything apparently so we don’t know what’s going on and are just hoping it’s a temporary issue so we don’t lose all her amazing work and the record of all the beautiful ways she’s touched our lives.
She’s even gone from my tumblr messenger though so I fear all of our messages on here could be gone forever 🥺😭
But the important thing is she’s safe and okay xxx
Ah! Thank you, Princess! I'm glad they're safe 😚 let’s all hope it’s temporary! We’ve made a lot of memories on this app, and it's all so scary to lose ☹️
Edit - The blog is back up, everyone!

Silent Promise
Word count: 503
Warnings: Slight smut!
A/N: This is my first ever Timmy fic so please be gentle
Pairing: Timmy/Reader
Silent Promise
You were expecting him home soon, the concert would’ve finished about a half hour ago and he would be making his way home to you.
He was a nervous wreck getting dressed earlier. He was excited to go see Beyoncé in concert, he had bought the tickets weeks in advance and got a spot in the VIP area. But he had wanted to take you, not Kylie. He was furious with his PR team when they said he had to go with Kylie Jenner.
This was supposed to be the first time going public with you, the love of his life, and now he was told he would have to go with her after all the rumours that were spreading.
You both knew of course it was the family that had started the rumours in order to ‘repair’ Kylie’s damaged image, but Timothée didn’t expect he would actually have to get involved with any of it.
When the video of him kissing her at the concert started going around you knew it was fake instantly by the way he looked straight at the camera that had ‘caught’ them. And you also knew Timmy’s anxiety would be through the roof at the thought of you seeing it and thinking the worst of him.
You were floating on your back in the pool when you heard him come through the front door. You knew he would be tearing his way through every room until he found you, you saw the bedroom light go on upstairs and felt his gaze find you at the window, and then the light went off. He was in his boxers by the time he got to the back door and just jumped right in, swimming underneath until resurfacing right in front of you.
His wet hair was clinging to his forehead as you looked at each other before he wrapped his arms around your waist and without a word kissed you gently. You kissed him back holding onto his shoulders as you both got heated in the kiss. Timmy lifted you onto the edge of the pool without breaking the kiss, and wrapped your legs around him holding onto your thighs. He removed both your bikini and his boxers and pushed himself out of the water as you lay back pulling him over you.
You could feel his length against your thigh and slid your hand down to his lower back to guide him as he pushed into you.
Timmy slammed hard into you as your legs wrapped around his waist and he buried his face against your neck breathing heavily rocking his hips against yours.
You lifted his head and kissed him passionately without saying a word and you both came together soon after panting heavily with Timmy shaking in your arms.
You knew what he was trying to say as he carried you upstairs to bed and crawled back into your arms to fall asleep.
No matter what, he would always come home to you, and only you.

Amy
Amy
Amy
Those were the first words you thought of in the morning and the last words you thought of at night.  Amy was your best friend. How could you not think of her all the time? No one made you as happy as Amy, no one knew you as well as Amy did, and no one held you together quite like Amy did.
She was more than your best friend, she was your life, your person. So she was a bit rough around the edges sometimes, but she was young and eager to be different from her sisters. To have 3 lovely sisters that everyone loved was hard for her. She wanted to be just like them and stand apart from them.
You saw Amy apart from her sisters. You saw how smart, talented, and strong she was.  You always had her back, always by her side to build her up when she was down, to make her laugh when she was sad.
“Amy, you’ll get into trouble if you do that,” you whispered over her shoulder, biting your lip nervously, looking around the room to ensure the teacher was still gone.
“You worry too much. I want to show everyone my skills,” she said, smiling over her shoulder at you. The other girls laughed at your fear, egging her on.
“We all know you are talented, you don’t have to get into trouble to prove it,” you huffed going back to your seat and pulling out a book to read. You enjoyed school and you didn’t like being on your teacher’s bad side. 
“Miss March,” The teacher snapped when he saw Amy drawing on the desk. His loud voice made you jump slightly and you stared at Amy.
“Hand, Miss March,” he said. 
When Amy started to cry you stood up. “You can’t just hit her. You can’t just hit any of us,” you said, stubbornly.
“Would you like to take her hits for her?” He asked glaring at you.
“No,” Amy said standing up. “It is my punishment,” she said to him, but her eyes were on you.
You pouted slightly. You were stronger than Amy, you were used to being hit. Something that Amy was well aware of and always tried to protect you from it. The last thing you would do is to allow you to get punished for something she did.
You had to look away as his ruler came down on her knuckles again and again. Her sobs made you sob as well and then she was running out of the school, ignoring the calls of the teacher.
“You are a horrible teacher,” you spat at him.
“You all will thank me one day,” he said, going to the front of the room.
You scoffed, slamming your books on the desk. “I wouldn’t ever thank you and if I had my way you’ll never teach again.”
“Well, I am glad you have no say then. Now sit down before you are punished,” he threatened.
You glared at him, grabbing your things and leaving. You refused to be around him any longer. You were sure the male students were not hit like you all were, it was unfair.
You ran straight to the March household looking for Amy, only for her family to be just as shocked to know she left school. “I am sorry, Marmee. I should have left with her. I should have never let him hurt her,” you sobbed on her shoulder.
She hugged you close. You were her bonus daughter. She knew your home life was less than ideal and while she didn’t know all the details, just that your father and brother had died years ago and your mother didn’t know how to cope with the loss, she knew you needed love.
 The abuse wasn’t something she could fathom. She just thought your mother was suffering and you fell to the side in her suffering.  It didn’t matter to her, she saw you as a March, and loved and adored you as one of her own.
 “It is alright, my darling. It is not your fault. He was wrong for hurting her and Amy should have come straight home,” she said, kissing your forehead.
Just then, Meg came into the room. “I found Amy, she is next door.”
The moment you saw Amy on the sofa you ran to her side hugging her tightly, sobbing into her shoulder. She sobbed as well as the whole family hugged her tightly. Both of you crying too much for anyone to understand your words.
A throat clearing and a slight cough had you pulling away from Amy and seeing a boy a few years older than you and Amy. His eye caught yours and he smiled kindly, you sniffled wiping your face.
“Hello,” you said politely.
“Hello,” he said back, walking forward and giving you a tissue.
You thanked him and took the tissue. Amy giggled from your side pulling your attention to her. 
“That is Laurie Laurance,” she whispered into your ear. “This is his home. He is new in town,” she said, never taking her eyes off of him. “Isn’t he beautiful?” She asked.
You looked back at him. He was beautiful. Astonishingly beautiful, his eyes soft and kind. He stood tall, but not overly confident, he had a look in his eye that you liked. But you didn’t like the way Amy looked at him. “He is okay,” you stated.
“He was so kind to me, and look at his curls,” she gushed.
You ignored her commented and grabbed her hand, kissing it softly. “I am sorry about your hand.”
Amy smiled, touching your cheek. “You are my best friend, I love you, but you shouldn’t have tried to take my punishment.”
“Maybe if your punishment was worthy of the crime, hitting us like that  is barbaric.”
“That is why Jo should teach us both at home, right, Jo?” Amy said turning to face her.
“No no. You two are too young, too rowdy, and never listen,” Jo said, shaking her head.
“Oh please oh please. We are mature enough, please,” Amy begged.
“Please Jo we can’t go back to the horrible man. I’m sure my mother will pay you a lot.” Your father was a wealthy man and when he died it all went to your mother. While she didn’t care about you much, she never had much of a problem with spending money on you. Her way of trying to make up for the neglect.
“I will think about it,” Jo sighed.                             
With your mother offering Jo a number she couldn’t refuse, she began teaching you and Amy at home. It was heaven being taught at home and being able to be with Amy without having to fight for her attention from your former classmates.
The only time you didn’t have her attention is when it was on Laurie. You hated him for it. His stupid smile and his stupid eyes. He was so kind and sweet all the time and you hated it. 
As you grew up you realized that your feelings for Amy changed. They weren’t the sisterly/ best friend feelings you had once, no they had grown deeper. Feelings you shouldn’t have for another woman and it frightened you.
“Amy,” you asked when you were 15. You both were sitting by the lake. Her head was in your lap and your fingers ran through her hair, she looked up from her sketchbook at you when you spoke. “Have you ever kissed anyone?”
“Kissed anyone? Like a boy?”
“Yes. A boy or maybe a girl…”
“A girl?” She asked sitting up, staring at you with wide eyes.
“I don’t know, just. You hear about things right? Like women in Europe that never marry and spend all their time together. People say they are in love.”
“Women in love with other women?” She questioned her face pinched up in confusion.
“And men in love with other men,” you added, worriedly.
“Well, I suppose love is love. You can’t help who you love,” she shrugged. “I’ve never kissed a boy or a girl. Have you?”
You shook your head. “No never.”
“Really? But your mother takes you to all those fancy parties with all the rich and handsome boys and girls.”
“I guess I don’t like any of them.”
“Have you seen Laurie at the parties?” She asked.
You furrowed your brows. “Sometimes, but I have never kissed him.”
She looked off in a daze for a moment before turning back to you. “Shall we kiss?” She asked.
Your eyes widened and your heart sped up. “What?”
“Well, I love you and you love me. Marmee always said your first kiss should be with someone you love. That way we will have practice for later on,”
“Later on?” You asked.
“Yeah, later on.” She grinned moving closer to you. She cuffed the side of your face tenderly. You’ve never been touched so softly before your breath caught. “Can I kiss you now?”
You nodded, closing your eyes as your lips slightly brushed against each other.
“Amy is that you?” Jo shouted from down the lake.
You and Amy jumped pulling away from each other. Your face grew hot and Amy flushed bright red. Jo quickly ran over with Laurie in tow.
“I’ve been looking all over for you. Have you finished your schoolwork? And you didn’t clean the attic like you were meant to,” Jo scowled.
You sighed in relief as it seemed she didn’t see you two kissing.
“Jo, I will get to it later,” Amy whined. Jo was having none of it and grabbed her arm and started to drag her away chastising her the whole way. Amy tried to pull away, looking back at you, but Jo kept walking.
You stared wistfully after her.
“What are you thinking?” Laurie asked. You jumped having forgotten all about him, you flushed looking up at him, seeing him already staring at you.
“Theo,” you said. As your feelings for Amy grew and her admiration for Laurie grew, you started to call him Theo to annoy her which turned into you calling him that to his face sometimes.
“Why do you call me that?” He asked, laughing slightly as he took a seat next to you.
“Do you not like it?”
“Hmm, I’m unsure. My mother used to call me that.”
You gasped slightly feelings horrible. “Oh, Laurie, I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I-I”
He laughed, placing his hand on yours. “It’s okay. I guess I missed being called that. Most people call me Laurie. Jo calls me Teddy, but I miss being Theo.”
“Then I will call you Theo,” you smiled.
Laurie’s smile back was heart stopping and for a moment you felt your own heart skip a beat. 
“What were you and Amy doing?” He asked.
Your heart skipped again. “What did you see?” You asked.
“Nothing if that is what you wish.”
“Did Jo see?” You asked fearfully.
“No, she was too upset.”
“Thank you, Theo.”
“Of course, that is what friends are for.”
You felt bad for your disliking of Laurie and after that, you two became a bit closer.  He saved you from your mother's overbearingness at parties and you two made jokes together and almost had your own language, which was just a mix of French and Italian. 
“Do you think about going to Italy for your studies?” You asked him once.
Laurie was walking you home after you both spend the day putting on plays with the March girls. You were arm and arm and the night was cool and you both walked close together to stay warm.
“I don’t want to leave here. It’s home for me. You, my grandfather, the Marchs’, it’s home.”
“But Italy was home once. You lived there with your parents.”
“I think it would be too emotional to go back home for school. To be surrounded by the memories but alone, would be too much for me,” he said, shrugging, looking at the ground
You stopped walking tugging on his arm until he looked at you. “ Theo… I will make a promise to you. If you ever want to go back, I will go with you. We will walk down the street, eat all the food and be happy. 
You can show me all the places you remember and then we can go there and make happy memories and then if you need to let out your emotions, my shoulders are here for you,” you smiled, patting his cheek.
Laurie was silent for a moment before a smile took over his face and he pulled you into a hug. He buried his head into your shoulder, he sniffled slightly. You let him hug you for as long as he needed, patting his back lightly.
When he pulled away he was smiling. “I am glad we have grown closer. I adore Jo and all the girls, but I feel like there are things I can talk to you about that I can’t with them.”
You nodded in understanding. “I feel the same. Amy is my best friend, but you Theo are someone I can be myself with.”
“I know you have lost your father and brother. And I want you to know you can talk to me about them, you can talk to me about anything.”
“And you can do the same.”
He told you about his feelings for Jo, but never pushed to hear more about yours for Amy but let you know if you wanted to talk about your feelings that he was there. He made you laugh and made you feel safe. Along with Amy, he was your person too.
The three of you were a little unit. A combined subunit of You and Amy and Laurie and Jo. It wasn’t often that the three of you were together but it was always a good time when you were
“So tell me, Theo, what is it you want to do with your life?” You were at the Marchs’ and after a slight incident, you were huddled by the fire wrapped in a thick blanket with Laurie and Amy, you all shivering.
“What do I want to do with my life? Why must I do anything? I have money already,” he said with a wide grin. Amy giggled behind her hands and he shot her a quick wink.
“He does have a point,” she said, from your other side.
“There must be something you are passionate about though?” You asked.
He twisted his mouth towards the left and thought about your question. “Music, I suppose,” he said with a shrug. “I like constructing it, operas, symphonies, anything really.  I like telling stories through music.” Laurie glanced over at you both once he was finished and ducked his head slightly.
“Wow that’s amazing Laurie,” Amy said. “You should do it.”
“I agree that’s an incredible talent,” you added.
“How would you know, you haven’t heard any of my works.”
“I just know,” you grinned.
He blushed and looked away from you.
Amy cleared her throat and hugged her mug of cocoa. “Well, I for one want to hear with you wrote. Oh please let us hear some,”
“Yeah, Theo, please,” You begged along with Amy.
“Alright. Alright, I promise when I write something good I’ll show you both. Now what about you, what do you want to do?”
“Oh, I am unsure,” you said looking down at your hands. “I don’t think I have any talents.”
“Oh, she is being modest, she is multitalented. She is a wonderful singer, and she is so good with words and languages, and she is the best model, she poses for all my sketches.”
It was your turn to be flustered and you looked into your cup. “I like learning most, reading and I don’t know.. I like  words a lot, but I’m not sure that is a talent.”
“Are you joking? That is an amazing talent, “Laurie said, wrapping his arm around your shoulder.
“Well if you are talking talent then we can’t leave out Amy, her drawings are so detailed and done with so much care and patience. One day we will see her work in museums all over the world.”
Amy buried her face into your shoulder. “I am not that good. Laurie, she is exaggerating.”
“I am not. She is amazing.”
“I could be better,” she mumbled.
Laurie smiled at the two of you. He reached around and pat her head. “You have so much time to perfect your craft, Amy. Don’t sell yourself short.”
“I won’t. With both your encouragement, I’ll work harder,” she said determined.
“Okay, I have cookies, who wants some,” Hannah said coming into the room.
“We do,” you all shouted at the same time, laughing.
For a while, life was nice, simple, and perfect.
“You should marry soon.” Your mother said, years later, walking into the room and interrupting your reading. You sighed softly, closing your book.
“Mother, I am only 17,” you said.
“At your age, I was married and on my second child,” She huffed.
“I will marry when I meet a nice man,” you said.
“There are plenty of nice men. How about Simon Baker?”
“He is 35,”
“And rich and without a wife.”
You huffed.
“Is this about that March girl?” she questioned walking closer to you, putting you on high alert.
“Amy is my friend.”
“Don’t lie to me. I see the way you look at her. It’s disgusting.”
“Amy is my friend,” you repeated.
“And what about that Laurence boy?”
“Also a friend.”
“At least that one would make a good partner.”
“He is a friend.”
“Maybe if he was a friend in the same way as the March I wouldn’t have to marry you off.”
“You can’t marry me off,” you said, gasping at her.
“I can do as I please.”
You didn’t want to argue it never ended well, so you turned back to your book huffing.
“Don’t huff at me. You will marry someone and do it soon. I am sick of you in this house,” she said, grabbing the back of your head and pulling your hair roughly a few times, pulling a few bits out.
You cried out and she shoved you to the ground. “Disappointment, why couldn’t you be like your brother.”
“He is dead mother. I can’t bring him back and you can’t keep punishing me. I didn’t kill him or father.”
“Shut up, you insolent girl,” she said, slapping you.
You stood up and ran out of the house. You ran all the way to the March house, but no one was home. You sobbed, needing to see Amy. To have her wrap her arms around you and tell you everything will be okay.
You left the March house a mess. Having no place to go you ran to the lake. You were so distraught you didn’t even notice Laurie or that you were close to falling into the water. Luckily, Laurie wrapped his arms around your waist to stop you.
“What’s wrong, what happened? You’re bleeding,” he said, touching your head, making you sob harder, and wrapping your arms around his waist.
Laurie held you close, whispering softly to calm you down as he led you to his home. He sat you down and grab a cloth to clean you up. “What happened to you?”
“My mother. She hates me. She hates me because I am not dead, she hates me because I am not my brother, she hates me because I have feelings for Amy. Everything about me she hates,” you sobbed
“I am sure she doesn’t hate you.”
“She does. And maybe she is right, I am odd. Unnatural,” you sobbed.
“No. There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfectly fine. She is wrong, lost in grief, and takes it out on you. You are not unnatural. Nothing about love is unnatural.” Laurie wiped your tears, smiling softly at you. “If you are unnatural. Then, I am as well.”
“She wishes to marry me off to some horrible man. He’s 35 years old and lives in Europe. I’ll never see any of you ever again.”
“She won’t.”
“She will. She will.”
“Do you dislike men? Maybe you can marry someone else. Someone kind? Or at least court someone to get her off your back.”
“I’ve… I don’t know. I’ve never thought about men or other women, it’s always been Amy,” you sniffled.
“Well then maybe you like men as well. Maybe you could fool her for a bit.”
“What if I can’t what if I don’t like them? What if I can’t pretend or kiss them or-” You were cut off by Laurie’s lips pressing against yours.
Your eyes widened slightly, but his lips were soft, warm, and just Laurie's. Your eyes closed and you leaned into his kiss. He cupped your face and you placed your hands over his.
He pulled away after a few moments and your eyes opened to stare into his. “How was that?” He whispered.
“It was nice. Really nice,” You smiled. “Have you done this before, Theo?”
He shook his head. “I am glad to see you are not crying anymore. You are my friend and I hate to see you down. I won’t let your mother marry you off,” he assured you.
“Laurie have you seen- “Amy paused as she came into the room with her sisters and saw you and Laurie. His hands are still on your face and yours on top of his.
You quickly pulled away from him and his hands dropped quickly as he looked at Jo, but your eyes never left Amy. Her face pinched slightly but then she was running to you, and cupping your face.
You were confused until you remember the way you looked. Face puffy and probably dried blood in your hair. 
“What happened, sweet girl?” She asked.
You just moved closer to her wrapping your arms around her neck. You felt Laurie get up from the sofa and you pulled back from Amy slightly to grasp his wrist. “Theo, thank you,” you whispered in Italian.
He nodded and walked out of the room with the rest of the Marchs’.
“Sweet girl?” Amy questioned.
You turned back to her telling her about your fight with your mother, going to her home and Laurie finding you. Leaving out the part about your feelings and kiss.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t home. I’m sorry that she hurt you. You know she is wrong, you don’t need to be your brother. You are beautiful, smart, and so talented. You know one day we should move away. Go to Paris I can paint and you can study all the languages and read all the books you want.
“We would run away together?” You questioned.
“Yes just the two of us. Won’t that be fun?” she said, wiping your tears and kissing your forehead. 
“I would like that very much.” 
Amy smiled, pressing her lips to yours quickly. Since your first kiss, you two shared kisses on multiple occasions. Amy moved to the sofa and pulled you into her arms, holding you close. “I would like that as well.”
It was only days later, when things took a turn in your life.
“You and Laurie are really close these days,” Amy said on one of your walks days later.
“He is closer to Jo,” you said. “And I’m closer to you,” you added, bumping her shoulder.
She didn’t smile.  “Yet closer than I am with him.”
“Are you jealous?” You said, trying to hide your smile. You were 17 now.  Despite all the kisses you two shared over the last few years, you were always uncertain about her feelings for you, but if she was jealous then maybe she felt the same.
“Maybe, I don’t like it.”
“Don’t worry, you won’t lose me.”
She groaned, “I know that, but still.”
You chuckled. “You are my best friend. Theo is just a friend.”
“You call him Theo.”
“You are my best friend,” and then you grabbed her shoulders, stopping her from walking, and kissed her pouting lips.
Amy pulled away. “Stop it, don’t kiss me when I am upset with you.”
You frowned. “Why are you upset? You won’t lose me,”
“Yes, but I could lose him. I first had to compete with Jo and now you for his affection.”
“You… like Laurie?”
She threw her hands up. “Of course I like Laurie.
“Laurie? Laurie? You like Laurie?” 
“Yes yes. Has it not been obvious?”
Of course, it has been. Of course, you never thought about it, you had a suspension once, but you thought it was something small and passing.  You thought that… you thought she felt something for you. You were stupid.
“Why did you kiss me all the time if you like Laurie?”
“For practice. We were practicing,” she said as if it was obvious.
Practiced. You thought about her words when you were young to practice for later. You wanted to be upset with her. You wanted to yell at her, but it wasn’t her fault she didn’t love you. That she didn’t know that the kisses meant more to you. 
Your eyes filled with tears. “Laurie doesn’t love you, Amy,” you said hurtfully.
She scoffed, “And he doesn’t love you either.”
“I know that. I know he is in love with Jo,”
“He is not. Stop trying to say things to hurt me.”
“I am not. I am telling the truth.”
“How could you be so cruel to hurt me because I like him? Are you jealous?”
You were now in a state of panic. You couldn’t tell her about your feelings now. “If I wanted to hurt you, I would have told you that I kissed Theo.”
She gasped. “What? You kissed him?”
“He kissed me actually.” You were being cruel now, and you hated yourself for it.
Her eyes filled with tears as well.  “I thought you were my best friend,”
You scoffed. “I’ve been more than your best friend for years.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing Amy, nothing at all.”
She frowned. “No, tell me.”
“No.”
“If you are my best friend then tell me.”
“Don’t use that, Amy March.”
“I just did. We tell each other everything.”
“You didn’t tell me about your feelings for Laurie.”
“And you didn’t tell me about your kiss with him.”
“I suppose we are not as close as we thought then. Good night, Amy.”
You turned and walked toward your home. You so badly wanted Amy to run after you, shout after you or something, but nothing happened and you slowly let the tears fall as you walked away with a broken heart and a destroyed friendship. You ran home and sobbed in your room for hours. 
For the next few weeks, you avoided going out into town you didn’t want to see Amy or any of your friends.  It was awful being alone and with your mother, it was worse. She spent every moment telling you how worthless you were or trying to push Simon onto you. You spent time with him just to get her off your back and to not be alone.
The first time you left the house you ran into Amy with a group of girls you once went to school with. They were laughing about something and having a good time. You made eye contact with Amy and she quickly turned away as if she didn’t see you.
Your heart ached and you ran all the way home. Making a rash decision, you told your mother you would marry Simon and move to Europe with him. She was overjoyed and within two weeks you were married and on a plane to England.
You sat under a tree in a busy park in France. It was a warmer day, but there was a nice breeze. The perfect day to enjoy a good book. You took a deep breath and enjoyed the French air.  Children ran around causing a smile to grow on your face. You were happy and content.
You were 23 and a widow. Your late husband was not the cruel man you thought him to be. He was kind and gentle and understood that your feels laid elsewhere as his own did. A friend from his youth, a male friend he loved and lost in war. 
He declared he would never love again after loving so deeply. But pressure from his family had him scrambling to find a wife to keep his secret, but he hated the idea of someone loving him when he was unable to do it back.
And then you two got married and while you never told him in so many words about your feelings for Amy. He knew that you were also heartbroken and in need of protection and a friend.
So you married as friends and he became your best friend when you moved to Europe with him. You two had a happy life, one that was just as happy as people actually in love, because you both cared about each other and enjoyed each other company, when he died you were broken. You were happy with him as your companion and without him, you were alone again.
Well, you weren’t always alone. Laurie was someone that you didn’t think you would have run into in London one day but you did. He was studying in London after traveling around with his grandfather and you two find comfort in each other for a while.
“Laurie? What are you doing here?” You asked when you bumped into him with Simon. It was one of his good days and he wanted fresh air and you two decided on a stroll together. “Simon this is a dear friend of mine from when I was a girl, Theodore Laurence.”
“You are still a girl, darling,” Simon teased, patting your hand before turning to Laurie. “I believe we met during my brief time in the States, it is nice to see you again.”
Laurie looked between the two of you as if in a daze. But then something snapped him out of it and he shook Simon’s outstretched hand. “Oh yes we have met before, nice to see you as well.” And then he turned to you. “I am here for university. My grandfather sent me here.”
“Really? Why did something happen?” you asked concerned. When you moved you cut ties with everyone, not hearing from anyone for the last few years.
Laurie looked down sadly at your words. You reached out to him, moving to untangle yourself from Simon when he began coughing. He bent over as he had a fit and you quickly grabbed his upper arm. 
Laurie jumped into action, grabbing his other side. “Is he alright?” He asked you.
“Yes, um can you help me get him home, it isn’t far from here,” you said, feeling Simon’s forehead and seeing he was burning up.
With a nod, you and both walked quickly towards your London home. Once inside you helped Simon into his bed, tucking him in. And getting a wet cloth to put on his forehead. You sat by his bed worriedly as he wheezed.
“I’ll wait outside,” Laurie said.
You nodded not taking your eyes off of your husband. You brushed his hair out of his face and patted his face with the cloth. “Simon you should not try to overdo it for my benefit.” You said.
“You are young. You should not have to take care of a dying husband. You should be going to shows, walking around London and exploring. You deserve it, my darling.”
“You are my husband. My best friend, I want to be here by your side,” you rebutted.
“I will feel bad if you spent your youth inside with me.”
You sighed, kissing his forehead. “Simon. I like being indoors. Reading, learning, and taking care of our home and you. I could not ask for more,” you assured him.
“That can’t be true. What about love?”
“I’ve loved and that time for my life is over.”
“You are too young to be cynical.”
“You were cynical too at my age,” you teased.
“Yes, and I was miserable until I met you. I don’t want that for you. You should have someone. Would you like a child?” He offered.
You kissed his forehead. “Simon, my best friend. I could not raise a child without you. I-I fear when you go and I don’t think having a babe to take care of will be helpful.”
“I hate that I will leave you alone.”
“You saved me from the loneliness I will be okay.”
He sighed deeply sending himself into another coughing fit. “You deserve more. You should have passion, desire, and love. What about Laurie?”
“What, Laurie?”
“Yes, he was a friend from before. He is young, unmarried, and beautiful. You could be with him… to cure the loneliness.”
“You are my husband, Simon. How could you suggest… that,” you said flushing. You and Simon had tried to consummate your marriage, but you both were too uncomfortable and decided against it.
“I am your husband in name only. I am your friend that wants good things for you. Just, don’t rule it out. Use the house and enjoy being a woman with power.” He didn’t say while it lasted but you both understood the words in the air.
“I will think about it. Now please get some rest. I’ll bring you something to eat later on,” you wiped his forehead one last time before getting up to leave.
Laurie stood against the wall across from the room. He looked up when you exit, standing up straight. “Is he alright?”
You nodded, your eyes downcast.
“What is the matter with him?” He asked gently.
You chuckled softly, but it broke into a sob. “The doctors have no idea, just that he is getting weaker each day and pretty soon he’ll be gone,” you said, covering your mouth to hold down your emotions.
You truly didn’t know what to do without Simon. The house would feel too empty, and you couldn’t return to America, you didn’t want to but you didn’t want to be alone. Laurie’s arms engulfed you and held you tightly.
“It’s okay, I’m here,” he said against the shell of your ear. “I’m here,” He repeated over and over until you calm down.
You pulled away to look up at Laurie. He smiled softly at you, wiping your tears. “Theo, what happened? Why are you here?” You asked.
“I asked Jo to marry me and she rejected me,” he said, voice full of pain and sorrow.”
“Oh Theo, I am so sorry,” you said, grabbing his hand and kissing the back of it. You lead him away from Simon’s room into your own chambers and into your sitting area. “Maybe she needs time?” You suggested.
Laurie shook his head. “No, she doesn’t love me. And She never will. She didn’t see me as a potential partner, just Teddy her best friend,” He said bitterly.
You took his hand again, squeezing it sympathetically. “I’m sorry, Theo. You deserve better. It is Jo’s loss.”
He shrugged and quickly changed the subject. “Why do you have your own chambers? You two seem… so in love?”
“Simon is my best friend but there is no romantic love between us. Plus we enjoy our own space.” You said.
“Are you happy?” He asked.
“I am. I just am afraid of the happiness leaving when he dies,” you expressed.
“You won’t be alone. I’ll be here too. Like you once said to me, a shoulder to cry on. A friend to have around. I think we both could use one.”
You stared at Laurie for a while, thinking about your talk with Simon, your kiss when you were kids, and about how much you ached for passion in your life. 
“Theo, we have been burned by love. We are both grieving losses, I think we should grieve together,” you suggested, looking at him from under your lashes.
Laurie swallowed thickly, his eyes dropped to your lips. “Sharing the burden of grieve would be beneficial, healthy even,” He said, moving closer to you.
“Yes my thought exactly,” you said, your breath mixed and your heart rate spiked.
His nose bumped against yours and you both giggled softly. “I’ve never done this before,” he whispered.
“Neither have I. we can just learn together,” you said and then your lips were brushing each other. 
You are unsure which one of you deepened the kiss, but Laurie’s tongue was in your mouth and your eyes were fluttering shut.  Laurie’s hands tentatively took your waist and he pulled back softly. “Is this okay?” He asked.
“Yes, it’s okay. You can um, take off my clothes if you want.”
Laurie’s eyes widened at your suggestion but he quickly got to his feet, almost tripping over the sofa. His cheeks blazed as he giggled helping you stand as well. “Sorry, I am awfully nervous,” he confessed.
“I am too, but I trust you, Laurie,” you whispered. 
“I trust you as well,” He replied.
You both smiled at each other for a moment, before Laurie cupped your cheek and placed another kiss on your lips. He took a deep breath when he pulled away and untied your shawl.
“Umm, what should I do with this?” He asked looking around.
“Toss it on the sofa, I don’t care.”
Nodding he tossed it quickly away, moving to unbutton your front-facing corset. Each button, he was painstakingly slow and you were just about to scream when he tossed it aside as well.  Laces, knots, bows, and fabric were taken off your body until you stood in front of him in just your slip.
Laurie grabbed the bottom, but you stopped him. “Wait,” you said, your heart racing. Laurie froze, staring at you with big doe eyes.
“Have I done something wrong?”
“No, Theo, just. I want to see you. It’s odd being the only one naked.”
“Of course of course,” he said, quickly removing his layers of coat, vest, and undershirt. 
You couldn’t help but chuckle at how quickly he removed his own clothes. Laurie narrowed his eyes playfully at you. “Something amusing?”
“Yes. You Mr. Laurence.”
“Well I aim to entertain,” he bowed before moving to remove his pants, quickly causing your laughter to die down and your mouth to dry up.
Once undressed completely, Laurie grabbed your hips with purpose, rubbing his thumbs into your hip bones. You shivered and quickly grabbed his hand and led him to your bedroom.
“Lay down,” he said, before climbing on top of you. His hands moved to the bottom of your slip and with a little nod from you he pulled it over your head. You laid bare before him and your hands moved to cover your breast, but he was already leaning down and pressing burning kisses to them. 
“You are beautiful, you don’t have to hide from me. It’s Theo. Your Theo, your friend, relax,” he said, though his own voice shook. The words were probably meant for both of your benefits.
His lips traced the curve of your right breast before, his tongue circled your nipple. He watched you closely, gauging your reactions to see what you liked and didn’t like. Your eyes closed and you sucked in a sharp breath.
A pulse between your legs had you trying to close them, but Laurie was already between and your legs just squeezed his sides. He groaned switching to your own breast giving it the same treatment.
“I heard that it hurts for women the first time, I don’t wish to hurt you,” He said, pushing two fingers into his mouth soaking them before letting them drag down your body before reaching your most private parts.
“I know, it’s okay.”
“Tell me if something hurts too much.”
You nodded and then his two fingers were inside of you. You gasped which caused you to tighten around his fingers. The pressure was weird, but nothing was overly painful. “Go on,” you mumbled.
Laurie’s fingers moved slowly at first, just barely kissing your tight walls, but the more he worked them inside of you the wetter you became. The room was loud with the little gasp and moan you released and the wet sounds of his fingers inside of you.
You relaxed more, opening your legs wider as the awkward feeling gave way to pleasure. Your moans grew louder and you humped against his hand. Laurie pulled his fingers away and you whined.
“Eager?” He teased, wrapping one of your legs around his waist. The other, he slid the wet fingers from your inner thigh to your calf. You shivered again. 
“Don’t tease me The- Heavens,” you closed your eyes as he pushed into you. You whimpered feeling tears in your eyes.
“Do you want me to stop?”
“Are you all the way in?” 
Laurie frowned shaking his head. You were sweating and he pushed away the hair sticking to your forehead. “Just a bit more,”
“Is it normal to be so big?” You questioned.
He bit his lip to hide his smile, but his shoulder pulled back and you knew you just stroked his ego. 
“Just push it all in and then give me a moment.”
“Are you sure?” He questioned.
“Yes.”
You closed your eyes waiting for the pain but instead, Laurie didn’t move and his lips were on yours again. Your eyes opened in confusion but you kissed him back eagerly. His soft lips mold into yours and you started to feel pleasure again. 
With your distracted, Laurie slowly pushed inch by inch inside of you until he had bottomed out. You whined into his mouth, but Laurie stroked over your sides again and kissed all over your face.
“Let me know when it’s okay to move,” his voice was tight and strained, it was taking everything in him to be still and not hurt you.
You felt so incredibly full and you were completely surrounded by Laurie, his smell, and just him. Your heart hammered against your ribcage and you looked up at him, your eyes met and you smiled nodding.
And then he pulled back slowly and thrust back in quickly. Laurie moaned, your name falling from his lips. You moaned, arching against him.
“Theo, more.”
Your affair with Laurie lasted longer than you thought it would. It went from two friends grieving over lost loves to something more. Something that felt close to love and you couldn’t love Laurie.
No, you loved a friend before and it ruined your friendship. Plus Laurie loved Jo, she was who he thought of when you two were together. And even though it’s been years, your love for Amy still burned bright. And most importantly you were married.
Even if Simon had encouraged an affair, he was still very much alive, and sleeping with someone else was one thing, but falling in love was a different thing. It felt like a betrayal and you couldn’t handle it; So you had to break things off before you were too deep in.
“Theo,” you started one night as he held you close in his arms in your bed. Your head rested on his chest and his heartbeat was almost enough to put you to sleep, but you held on. “Have you answered any of Jo’s letters?”
He tensed at her name but only for a moment before relaxing and placing a kiss on the crown of your head. “No. I haven’t even read any.”
“Do you plan to?” You asked, looking up at him.
He sighed, moving until your faces were close together, his nose bumping against yours with every breath. “Why do you ask?  Are you thinking about writing to Amy?”
“No. Amy does not want to hear from me.”
“I don’t believe that. You are her best friend. She was heartbroken when you left,” he said, rubbing his nose into your cheek, kissing your neck. “What did you two fight about anyways?”
He had asked you plenty of times but you never answered. You couldn’t tell him about her feelings, a fear you refused to acknowledge that maybe they were perfect for each other and he would seek her out and you’ll lose both of them.
 “Girl things,” you replied.
He groaned, biting your jaw. “Why won’t you tell me? Don’t you trust me?”
“Of course I do,” you breathed.
“Tell me, my love.”
You froze at the pet name and Laurie noticed. He quickly pulled back to stare at your face. Neither of you spoke as you stared. You two had been sleeping together for months. Currently naked and pressed up against each other, but the pet name was so softly spoken, so intimate. The intimacy slowly worked its way up your throat, choking you.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know why that slipped out. I-I. I’m sorry,” he said, moving to kiss you, but you moved away, sitting up.
“I think we should stop this,” you said.
Laurie sat up as well. “Stop this? Stop what?”
“This Theo. Us sleeping together. It is not doing either of us any good. Using each other to get over the March sisters, it’s wrong. And unhealthy.”
“How is it wrong, we are both adults, consenting and we are friends helping each other out.”
“I am married, Laurie.”
“You were married when we started. You were fine with it then, what has changed?” He asked, reaching for you, but you got out of bed and pulled on your nightgown.
“I just can’t anymore it isn’t helping anyone. You love Jo and I love Amy.”
“I don’t love Jo,” he stated.
You turned to him blinking. “Since when?”
“I don’t think I have ever loved Jo. Or maybe never in love with her.”
You scoffed. “You loved her only months ago. You have already tossed that love aside.” This is why you didn’t want to love him. He was always fickle.
“Jo was someone I was close to. Someone that I latched into when I had no one. I wanted love and the idea of loving Jo was perfect. So I told myself I loved her and now I know it was not true romantic love I had for her.”
You didn’t know what to say to that. You had to look away from him. “You come too often, people might talk and I can’t do that to Simon.”
“I’ll come less. Or come in through the back.”
“No, Theo. We are spending too much time together. You should be focusing on school and your music. You said you were struggling with operas. You should work on that.”
“Why are you pushing me away? Have I done something?” His ask was pitiful and depressing and you hated yourself a little bit for it.
“We have been in a web in my room and it is time to move on. You must prepare for graduation and life and I need to take care of my husband. Not abandon him for an affair with some man.”
“Some man? Is that all I am to you?”
You turned to face him then. “I meant no offense, Laurie. I just think our fun should end before things get too deep and we ruin things between us.”
Laurie was silent for a bit. He stared at you long and hard. You grew uncomfortable, wrapping your arms around your chest and looking away from him.  He sighed heavily. “Very well. Take care,” he dressed quickly with you watching him.
He laced his boots and stood in front of you. “I mean it, take care of yourself.”
You nodded, too overtaken by emotions to speak.
He stood another minute in front of you before exiting your room.
Your vision blurred just thinking about that day. Laurie never replied to any of your letters, never return to your house, and the gift you sent for his graduation, he returned it. You blinked away the tears, clearing your throat. 
Simon died only a few weeks later and you were too busy to think about Laurie and all your confusing feelings. It was one thing to love Amy, another to love Laurie, but to love both?
You thought of your mother’s harsh words and maybe she was right, there was something wrong with you. Something broken that you loved so easily and at the same time.
Being home made you think about it too much and while you were still free from your mother, in Europe, you couldn’t stay home and be sad and wallow.  Simon would not want that and you didn’t want it. So you traveled and that brought you to Paris.
The people were vibrant and friendly and the food was to die for.  You felt like a child again with all the wonder you had.  You loved it and you wanted to stay the whole season. 
Humming a song you missed the first time someone said your name, but as they grew closer and louder you looked up to see Aunt March, Amy, and Laurie. Your eyes connected with Laurie’s first but he quickly looked away and Amy smiled softly but refused to hold your eyes either.
With just left Aunt March. She narrowed her eyes at you. “What’s the matter, girl? Move to Europe and forgot your manners?” Aunt March questioned.
Flushing, you stood up and smiled as warmly as possible at them. “Hello there. Forgive me, Aunt March. It is lovely to see you.” You turned to Amy and Laurie. “Hello.”
Laurie moved first pulling you into an awkward half-hug. His breath was strong with alcohol and you coughed slightly. “It is nice to see you again, Theo,” you said. The words sound painful to your own ears.
“Is it?” He questioned. “ If you all would excuse me, I have somewhere to be,” And then Laurie walked off.
You stared after him in shock. You knew you two had left things awkward and tense, but you didn’t expect the coldness from him. Laurie was never harsh, with anyone, especially not you.
 A hand on your elbow had you turning to face Amy. Your breath caught slightly as you took her in. It’s been years since you last saw her and she was more breathtaking than ever. 
“You will have to ignore Laurie, he is going through a phase of being an overgrown child,” she said, but she smiled softly at you.  “Hello, stranger,” she said.
“Hello, Amy,” you said, a bit breathlessly. You felt foolish you had grown, married, and fallen for someone else, yet Amy still made you feel warm inside.
You two stared at each other for a moment before Aunt March groaned. “Speak you two,” She said, shaking her head and walking away mumbling about how annoying children were these days.
You both laughed as you watched her walk away. “She never changed, does she?” You said looking at Amy.
“No, I’m afraid she has only gotten meaner with age.”
You both laughed once more. Until you both slowly broke off and stared at one another until Amy spoke up.
“I’m sorry about our fight. And then ignoring you, but how could you just marry and leave?” She said, pouting.
You hugged her then, squeezing her tightly. “I’m sorry about our fight, I was so rude to you. And I’m sorry for leaving.”
“And not writing or inviting me to the wedding,” she added, hugging you back.
“Yes for not writing or inviting you to the wedding,” you chuckled, breathing in the scent you loved most.
“All is forgiven, sweet girl, but you can’t do that anymore. I’ve been miserable without you,” Amy said, taking your hand and squeezing it.
You squeezed her hand back. “I’ve been miserable without my best friend as well.”
“Now that we have made up, tell me about your husband. Has he been kind to you? Do you have children? Oh my gosh, you do don’t you? You have children and they don’t even know me,” she whined, but there was also something else in her voice you couldn’t decipher.
“Amy, take a breath,” you teased, grabbing your book as you two walked around the park. “My husband, Simon.. he was a very good man, but he sadly passed on.”
She gasped, turning to face you with a face painted in sorrow. “I am so sorry to hear that. You are still so young to lose a husband. He wasn’t that old.”
“It was a sickness that took him quickly. Healthy one day and coughing up blood the next. I was happy to try to make his last days the best for him. He grew to be my closest friend.”
“I am glad you were not in a bad marriage, but I am sorry about you having to lose him.” Amy pulled you into a side hug.
You hugged back. “And we didn’t have children. With Simon getting sick it was best that way. I could not imagine raising them alone.”
“I suppose that is the best solution. Did you love him?” She asked.
“Yes. In a way that made us both happy.”
She furrowed her eyes at your comment but didn’t press. “So tell me what brought you here?”
“I came for the art, the culture, the people,” you smiled. “Why did you come?”
“For you,” she said, glancing shyly over at you. “You learned French when you were younger and you always talked about coming here and when Aunt March asked me to tour Europe with her, I knew I had to come here. See all the things we talked about.”
Your heart squeezed at her words and you smiled softly at her words. You wished for nothing more than to kiss her but you were in public. Amy's eyes bore into your own and the same desire filled her eyes. But you reminded yourself of her words, that the kisses meant nothing. They were just practiced.
“I’ve missed you so much, Amy,” you said.
“I’ve missed you as well. With you gone, I felt a part of me was missing. I was an awful friend. Too vain sometimes for my own good. I won’t excuse my actions, but if you give me the chance, I want to make it up to you. Be a better friend.”
“I would very much like to be your friend again.”
“Good. Now there is a ball tonight. I would love for you to attend with me. It will be fun, with drinks, dancing, and music. It will be wonderful. Say you will come?”
“I will be there, Amy. I promise.”
The ball was…well it was a ball fit for the French elite and while you have been a part of the elites before you never felt completely comfortable around them. Your dress was bright and made you stand out too much and you wished to hide in a corner.
You felt like a child once again force at a party by your mother. You searched the crowd for Amy and sighed and relief when you saw her. Luckily, she saw you at the same moment and made her way over to you.
“Oh, you look beautiful. Well, you always look beautiful but this is your color,” she gushed, having your ears and face burn at the compliments.
“Thank you, Amy. You look radiant as well. The center of the party,” you said, then leaned closer. “Everyone has eyes on you.”
She blushed. “Well, that is Fred’s doing.”
“Fred?”
“Fred Vaugh. We met him at the beach once, an old friend of the Laurence’s. We are in a courtship,” she explained.
Your face fell slightly at her words, but what did you expect? For her to love you to wait for you when you left and married. “That’s wonderful, Amy,” you said.
Amy looked around the room for a moment before grabbing your hand and pulling you away from the party. You both walked into you were outside in a beautiful garden. “Everyone might have their eyes on me, but mine are on you,” she said.
“Fred is a nice man but I want to be with you tonight, check-up, talk to my sweet girl,” she pulled you to the ground into a space covered by bushes so no one would see you too.
“What about the ball? And your dress, it will be ruined.”
“First, Laurie drunkenly showing up ruined the ball for me and second, you are much more important and worth a ruined dress.”
“What is going on with Laurie?” In London, he was saddened by the rejection of Jo, but he wasn’t drinking and behaving as Amy mentioned.
“It has to be the heartbreak. He’s just a mess. We had seen a lot of each other in Paris and he was getting better, I thought at least, but then he went to London and his letters seemed as if he was better and happier. And then he came back like this. Drunk all the time, making stupid comments.” She mumbled the last part as she patted down her dress.
You smiled, knocking your shoulder against hers. “Tell me about your art, Amy. Tell me about the new Amy?” 
You and Amy spent the whole night pressed up together and catching up with each other. It was as if no time had passed between the two of you. While you had married and grown, Amy had matured into a woman with a kind heart, determination, and passion.
It was amazing to see how much she changed and you could listen to hear her talk all day along. She leaned against you laughing at a story you told about your wedding day with Simon.
“I cannot see you doing that?” She said between gasping breaths.
“I did. I did. I was not going to wear so awful dress all day and if they refused to let me change I would make them. So I set the dress on fire, while still wearing it.”
“Oh, you have lost your mind. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. That is something that would make Jo very happy.”
You laugh along with her. “How is Jo?” You asked.
Her laughter died down a bit and she shrugged. “She is the same Jo I suppose. She is upset with me for coming here, upset with Laurie for ignoring her, and the world for treating her horribly for being born a woman.”
“Laurie will come around. And we can’t fault her for the last. We know the drawback we have to face for being women.”
“We all know it, but complaining and making things worse is not the way to go about it. We must find ways to be ourselves. To enjoy life within the binds. Wiggle and loosen them slowly. Any other way does more harm than good.”
“Wise-words. You really have grown, Amy March.”
“I have. I know I seem proper and happy with my station in society but I know that it is a man’s world and nothing will ever be mine. My life is not my own and never will be, it’s frustrating but if I want to take care of my family, I must play the part.”
You grabbed her hand. “And if you didn’t- if you didn’t have to play a part what would you do? What is your dream?”
Amy looked at you. “I would like to be happy be with someone that I love who loves me. I want to paint be a true artist and make my own money. I want so much, I want that dream we had as children. I want-” You cut her off by kissing her.
You thought she would pull away, but instead, she placed her hand on the side of your face and kissed you back, deeply and full of emotions. You kissed until you needed to break away to breathe air in your lungs.
“I-I’m sorry, Amy. I don’t know what came over me,” you said, looking down. You fan your cheeks as they burned and you looked around making sure no one was looking.
Amy grabbed your hand, shaking her head. “No, please don’t apologize. I wanted to kiss you since the moment I saw you, maybe since the day we fought. I am sorry for the words I spoke. I.. kissing you was never practice. Or maybe it started as such, but it was a comfort.”
She paused moving so she sat in front of you. She took both of your hands and placed them in your lap. Your heart fought to leave your chest and your whole body felt as if it was being pricked.
“You were my best friend. You are my best friend and I like being with you. I love spending time with you, laughing, reading, and kissing you. I didn’t understand what it meant. What you were to me,” she looked down at her hands. “But then realized that I missed you like Marmee misses father.”
You bit your lips, holding your breath as you waited for her to finish talking, but instead, she bit her lip and began to cry softly. With furrowed brows, you moved closer hugging her to your chest. “What’s wrong, Amy? Don’t cry, please. You know it will make me cry too,” you said.
“I’m sorry. I can’t help it, it’s just. I love you and it is unfair that we can not be together. It is unfair that we can’t do anything about it. We are women and I have duties to uphold and I’ll never be happy.” She sobbed, her shoulders shaking and her breathing grew erratically.
“Amy, you must calm down. You know you get worked up so easily, you could pass out, calm, Amy. Calm, I’m here. I have you,” you patted the back of her head and held her close until she slowly stop crying.
“Are you alright now?” You asked pulling back to regard her face.
She frowned adorably nodding, wiping her eyes as embarrassment settled in. “Yes, I am sorry for losing it like that. And springing feels onto you. It was wrong of me.”
You smiled, cupping her face and brushing away the rest of your tears. “Don’t be sorry for having emotions or expressing them. I will never fault you for it,” you said, kissing her softly.
She kissed you back, breaking away after a few moments. “I should not have expressed my feelings because if you return them, there is nothing we can do about it, and if not, I could make you uncomfortable.”
“Oh Amy March, I have loved you my whole life,” you giggled, pecking her lips.
“Don’t say that. I will only make me sadder.”
“But we love each other, is that not good news.”
“If one of us is a man, but I must marry Fred,” she said miserably.
“But why? I have my own money we can live together, happily.”
“Because marrying  Fred is what is expected of me, and must do it for my family. I am sorry.”
You shook your head, squeezing her hand. “I am not upset with you. I understand doing what you have to do for your family.”
“Can we still spend time together like now, until I marry?” She asked.
“We can spend all the time you would like, Amy,” You assured her.
You went to your lodging that night with only thoughts of Amy and how you must be dreaming. She loved you. Amy loved you back. You knew the sneaking around was not ideal, and that you wanted more with her, but you would take whatever you could get.
But your mind thought about the women you read about as a child. The women who  lived together and were happy, but family meant something to Amy. Her family was her life and you didn’t have it in you to take her away from them.
Just as you were about to slip into unconsciousness another thought came to mind. Another person, Laurie. You didn’t see him the whole party, you were sure he was avoiding you which hurt. You were worried about your feelings for him and your feelings for Amy. You fell asleep with guilt heavy on your mind, for loving them both.
Over the next few weeks, you spend as much time with Amy as you could. You two were either in the park, her drawing and you reading, or walking around giggling close together. The only time you spent away from her was the time she spent with Laurie.
The guilt of loving them both only was overshadowed by the jealousy of knowing they were together without you. You wanted to be with Laurie, talking like you used to, or spend all the time with Laurie. You were growing sick of the headaches you were causing yourself, but it came to a head when you overheard Amy and Laurie together.
“Do you love him?” Laurie asked her softly.
“Love him? Do you mean Fred?” She asked.
“Is there another man in your life that you love?” He asked.
Amy’s eyes flickered to his at his words. She loved Laurie. She didn’t want to, she tried her whole life not to, but she did. She loved him as easily as she loved you.  “I don’t love Fred,” she concluded.
“Then don’t marry him.”
“Oh, Laurie why shouldn’t I marry him? He is kind and he has enough money to take care of me, my family, and my future family.”
“But you do not love him.”
“We already had this conversation, Laurie.”
“No. I mean he does not love you either. So you should marry me,” he said.
“Marry- marry you? Laurie, why would you say that wh-why?” Amy closed her notebook and stood up shaking her head.
“Please Amy, I’ll treat you better than him. I can take care of you and your family. I can make you happy.” 
“Laurie stop it. Just stop it. You are hurting and raw because of Jo, but that does not give you the right to be mean to me.”
“Mean? I am not being mean. I am serious, Amy. I want you to marry me. We can be happy together,” He moved closer, taking her arms. “We have spent so much time together in the last few months and I think I could make you happy. I want to try,”
“Try? No no. Laurie, how dare you? After I spent my whole life loving you. I’ve been second to Jo in everything and now I am to be second to her with you? No, I refuse. I won’t settle for second place.”
“So you rather marry someone you don’t love?”
“Yes, I rather be respected if I can’t be loved.”
“You can have both with me,” he shrugged. 
“I can’t. And I don’t want to see you anymore.” And then she was running out of the studio. She bumped into you with tears running down her face.
“Oh, d-d-did you hear?” She said, face flushed and hands twitching.
“I did. Amy, what’s wrong? Why did Laurie’s words upset you so much,” you said softly, already knowing the answer. She all but said she still loved him.
She wiped her eyes. “It is not what you think?” She said at once.
“It would be okay if it was,” you said.
She shook her head. “No. No, it won’t be. No. I don’t love Laurie, not after everything,” she said.
“Shush, my dove. Let me walk you home,” you said taking her arm. 
She nodded, looping her arm through yours.
The walk was quiet, with Amy sniffling every few moments. You were too in your own head to really think about making conversation. The idea of Amy and Laurie marrying was heavy on your mind. They would be a perfect couple and Amy deserve love, but not from Laurie, not if he was using her to get over Jo.
When it was with you, you didn’t fault him. You both agreed to enjoy each other, it was mutual and your falling for him was not his fault, but Amy, she did care about him, she loved him and deserved more than a husband that loved her sister.
After walking Amy home you sent a letter to where Laurie was staying demanding his presence.  You were steaming as you waited for him. Your leg bounced with anger as you sat trying to read your novel, but all you could think about what that selfish man.
The moment you heard a knock on the door you were out of your seat. You throw the door open and pulled Laurie into the room. You stood across from him with one hand on your hip glaring at him.
“You’ve invited me here to glare at me?” He asked confused.
“What are you doing with Amy?” You said at the same time.
Laurie’s eyes widened slightly and he moved deeper into the room. “What do you mean?” he asked.
“Asking her to marry you? Are you trying to hurt her? Ruin her life?”
“What? No of course not. I was just trying to help her. I-I grew deep feelings for her,” he said. He looked towards the ground, only glancing up at you to see your reaction. While Laurie was not lying about his feelings for Amy, he loved you all the same.
It was spending time together in London that made him realize that he felt only friendship and familial love for Jo. The feelings he got for you were deeper and stronger than anything he ever thought was possible. He loved you with his soul. And he wanted to express his feeling to you, wanted to ask you to marry him when Simon died, but you broke things off and broke his heart first.
“So you have just grown feelings for Amy?” You questioned.
“Of course. I didn’t plan to but I have. I want to make her happy.”
“Fred can do that.”
“Fred can’t offer her happiness. And if I marry her you can still be in her life. You two can still care for each other.”
You blinked at him in shock. “You know about us?”
“I’ve always known. Have you forgotten? Amy might not have known when we were children about  her feelings for you, but I saw them.”
“But you didn’t see hers for you?” You scoffed.
“No, I just assumed she only had eyes for you.”
You scoffed again, but then again you never saw her feelings for you, only her eyes for Laurie. “So you’ve known about our feelings for each other and still tried to marry her.”
“I am not trying to take her away from you. What do you think I am trying to do.”
“I don’t know. I can’t see you falling in love with Amy when you have been a drunk mess in her words.”
“I’ve gotten better. I’ve spent time with her and I see her for the wonderful person she is. I want more for her and with her.”
“Ah, so it seems you are just working your way through us all Theodore. Shall I write to Brooke’s and warn him that his wife is in danger or sweet Beth.”  
“Don’t. You know it isn’t like that.”
“I obviously know nothing about who you are.”
“How could you say that? You know me, better than most.”
“No, I don’t. I know nothing about you and your fickle feelings.” 
“You know I didn’t love Jo. I thought I did I thought what I felt for her was love true deep love but it wasn’t. But you-“ he paused and moved closer to you but you took a step away from him.
He threw his hands up. “I love you. Whether you let me say it or not. I love you. Deeper than I loved anyone in my life entire life.”
You scoffed, “And Amy? Is she just a toy for you to use? Someone to run to when you can’t have who you want.” 
“I love her too. As I love you; with my whole being.” Laurie walked towards you this time and didn’t stop as you took steps back.  “I love you as you, Amy as Amy, and both of you with every fiber of my soul.”
“Always a poet, Mr. Laurence,” you scoffed. You didn’t want to hear this. 
“I love you both. Worship the grounds you walk on.” He grabbed your hand and placed it over his heart. “You know I am telling the truth.”
You looked away from him, feeling your heart quicken and your face heat. “And why is that?” You whispered.
He cupped your cheek making you turn back to face him. He smiled softly leaning closer until your nose bumped. “Because I know you feel the same for us as well. I know you love Amy It’s why you ran away to get married because you love her and…and it’s why you sent me away in London, because you love me.”
“Theo. So you’ve just decided that I love you,” you said softly.
“I wasn’t sure. I was hurt after you ended things, it wrecked me. Amy was not lying when she told you how bad I’ve been, but it wasn’t Jo that broke my heart, it was you. And I’ve avoided you since you arrived here. It was wrong and I felt awful as I started to fall for Amy, but the moment I walked into the room. I realized you are not just upset for Amy but because of her.”
You scoffed again, but you couldn’t deny his words when he was telling the truth to your face.
“You don’t believe I love Amy and you didn’t believe that I could love you, but I do.  love you. I love Amy. And I want us all to be happy and together, is that too much to asked?”
“It is asking the impossible and you know it. That is not the world we live in.”
“Screw the world we make our own rules we have the money to go anywhere and be who we wish to be. All you have to do is let yourself have what you want.”
“I can not.”
“Why? Why can’t you? You have never been one to be so afraid unless you don’t love me. Have I gotten that wrong?”
You said nothing.
“Tell me you don’t love me and I’ll leave and never bring this up again. Tell me your heart does not beat for me and I’ll leave you alone,” Laurie begged, his hands reaching on either side of your face, staring deeply into your eyes.
You feel tears run down your face. “Of course, I love you, Laurie. Goodness, I love you so much. I had to send you away. Every day I was falling more and more in love with you. Every night in your arms I wished for that to be our life forever.”
Laurie smiled widely, his eyes lighting up, shining with pure happiness. He kissed you so softly and sweetly that you felt light-headed. You kiss back in earnest, putting your hands on top of his that still resided on your face.
“W-What is going on in here?” A broken voice said causing you both to pull apart in shock to see Amy standing in the now-open doorway.
“Amy,” you gasped, dropping your hands from Laurie’s face.
“Amy it is not what it appears to be,” Laurie said and you could have slapped him in the face. Of course, it was what it appeared to be but he was not helping.
It seemed Amy shared your sentiment because she scoffed narrowing her eyes at you both. “Not what it looks like? You two were kissing and I heard you expressing your love to each other.”
“Amy please, let us explain,” you pleaded.
“Explain what? How the two people that claim they never want to hurt me, who want to see me happy are doing the exact thing they swear they wouldn’t,”
“Amy it is not like that,” Laurie said, moving closer to her. “I meant what I said earlier, I do care about you. I love you and wish to marry you.”
She shook her head and looked away from him to look at you. “And you? How could you do this to me? And with Laurie of all people.”
“Amy no, please. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I didn’t, goodness, just let us explain.”
“Explain then.” Amy crossed her arms and stared at you both.
You glanced at Laurie, but he looked incredibly frightened to say anything. You sighed, “I had an affair with Laurie in London,” You started shutting your eyes as Amy gasped in horror.
“It wasn’t a bad one,” Laurie chimed in, “She was lonely and I was and we needed comforting.
“Your poor husband,” Amy said shaking her head.
“He knew about it. It was his idea. He just wanted me to be happy to experience life. I was hurting from losing you and about to lose another best friend and Laurie was there. I didn’t mean to fall in love with him, it just happened. So I broke things off when my feelings grew too down.”
“And That is when Laurie came back to Paris, depressed. Because he loved you and you hurt him.” Amy then laughed bitterly turning to glare sadly at Laurie. “So for you, I am a third option. Can’t have Jo, can’t have her, so you’ll settle for me?”
“No no. Amy that isn’t true. I never loved Jo. It is the two of you I love so much. I was hurt by her ending things and I came back because you are my friend and you always know how to cheer me up and then I realized I was falling for you as well.”
“You love us both? That is preposterous. You can not love us both.” 
“Oh come on Amy, stop lying to yourself. You lied to me early, you love Theo. You always have.”
Her eyes stretched and she stuttered but nothing comprehensible came out. She stared between the two of you before looking away. “I am leaving,” she stated.
“No. You can’t leave, Amy please,’ Laurie said, reaching out and grabbing her hand.
She flinched away glaring at him. “No, you don’t get to tell me. Neither of you do. I can not do this with you, Either of you. I am marrying Fred, I won’t be involved with whatever you two are doing.”
“So you choose him? Why? You love me. You love Laurie. You said you wanted a way for us to be together in this society and to take care of your family. Laurie is the solution. You can marry him and not Fred. It will be perfect.”
“It will be a sham. I won’t have an affair with you while married. I told you that.”
“It won’t be an affair, we would be married, yes, but we will all be in a relationship. The marriage is one of love, but also one of show, so we can be ourselves and not be condemned.” Laurie stressed.
“No. You both lied to me and now you want me to marry you and we are to live happily ever after?” She cried.
“Lied to you? I never lied to you, Amy,” you stated.
“You knew why Laurie was acting strange. You never mentioned your relationship with him, Not ever after what you overheard today. And you Laurie, let me go on and on about Jo knowing it was not Jo who had broken your heart. I thought it was odd you both were avoiding each other, I thought it was to due that kiss as children but I see it was more. I feel like such a fool. You both toyed with me. Is that it? You both couldn’t have each other so went after me?”
“Of course, not, Amy. We would never?” Laurie said.
“We are sorry, Amy. We meant you no harm. We talked about all of us being together,” you added.
“Without me? Because Amy will get go along. Amy is a follower. Amy is desperate for the both of you she’ll do anything.”
“Stop putting words in our mouths. Amy, I understand you are hurt. I shouldn’t have kissed Laurie with our relationship going, I am truly sorry, but please don’t marry Fred when this is the perfect option, where we all can be happy.”
“I don’t want it. This life you two are offering. Not after hurting me. I am going to marry Fred and I wish to never see either of you again.”
You gasped and Laurie looked close to tears. “Amy you can’t mean that. You’ll just throw away our plans, our love, and friendship,” you questioned.
“You did the moment you decide to keep things from me.”
“You are behaving like a child.”
“No, I am being a responsible adult unlike the two of you,” she said walking to the door.
“Amy please don’t walk away from us. We love you, we can be happy. We can travel, get a house and live happily,” Laurie begged.
“No thank you. You two should live happily together. It is what you both deserved,” she spat.
“Fine. Go marry Fred, enjoy your life of being respected and playing by society’s rule,” You said.
“I will.”
“If you won’t marry me, then we’ll marry. Move to Italy and have a life together,” Laurie said taking your hand.
Amy glanced at you both and then at your joint hands. Rivers of tears ran down her pretty cheeks, breaking both your and Laurie’s heart. “Then so be it,” she whispered then left the room.
Amy could barely see as she ran as fast as she could back to the home she was staying in with Aunt March. She always knew she couldn’t have Laurie and one day she would have to give you up and possibly watch you fall in love with someone else, but the idea of you both already loving each other tore her in half.
She was scared and hurt and she couldn’t fathom the offer, which she knew was a good one, but her pain was too raw for her to see that. She ran to her room and threw herself into her bed sobbing her heart out.
Her tears ran down her face for hours until she was too numb to sob and her tears all cried out. She thought about just days earlier when she was happy when she was wrapped up in her love and fantasy future.
“I have never had any sort of, you know before,” Amy flushed bright red. You both were inside your bedroom. You two kissed for hours and when your hands wandered to her waist causing her to flush and pull away.
“Oh, Amy we do not have to do any of that, I just like being with you,” you said, leaning closer to capturing her lips.
She kissed back before pulling away. “Does it work the same way as with a man?” She asked curiously.
“I wouldn’t know. I have never been with another woman. You are the only woman I’ve ever had eyes for,” you chuckled. “I think it would be different considering... Um, the differences.”
“I am not sure I know how it works with men. Meg tried to explain it once, but it freaked me out,” she said embarrassed.
“It freaked me out as well. My mother made me read a book about it, said it was to prepare me for my  wedding night,” you explained.
“Was it painful? With Simon?” She asked.
“My first time was not as painful as I thought. I enjoyed it,” you said. Laurie was incredibly gentle and you were forever grateful for it.
“I do not want my first sexual experience to be with Fred. Can we try something, I want it to be with someone I love.”
You nodded. “We can learn and explore together,” you said, getting off the bed to remove your clothes, you could hear Amy doing the same. By the time you were done, you turned around to see Amy with her hair down, covering her chest.
You grinned getting back into bed and crawling to be in front of her. “Don’t cover up, you are beautiful,” you said, kissing her forehead.
“Don’t make me blush,” she whined.
“I like seeing you blush,” you said, grabbing her hand and pulling her onto the bed with you. You laid her down and hovered over her. “I love you, Amy,”
“ I love you, sweet girl,” she said, kissing you again. The kiss quickly grew hungrier and hungrier and you bit her lower lip causing her to moan and arch against you. Causing her core to rub against yours.
You both moan and quickly fell into a rhythm of upward and downward grinds to chase after that feeling. Your kiss grew sloppy as you both moaned and got lost in the pleasure.
“Something happening, it’s building, what is it?” she asked.
“It’s okay, it will feel good,” you said. You quickly moved one of your hands between you both, rubbing the little button you knew would make her see stars. Amy gasped, her hips moving quicker. 
“Yes, please that feels amazing. Don’t stop sweet girl don’t stop,” she begged.
“Never,” you said, attaching your lips to one of her nipples.
When Amy came it was with a loud moan of your name and her thighs squeezing together. Her eyes rolled back in her hand and her nose wrinkled in the most Amy way possible.
You moaned grinding faster against her spamming body until you reached your own peak, your lips coming down on hers. “I love you, Amy, so much. Always.”
“I love you too, my sweet girl.”
You moved to lay by her side, pulling her close. Your chin rested on her shoulder and your hands were around her waist. “I wish we could stay like this forever.”
“I wish there was a way we could be together, A way for everything to work out for us. I want us,” she whispered.
You dropped a kiss to her shoulder, tightening your hold around her. “Maybe one day.”
“I hope sooner rather than later. I want to be with you forever.”
You hummed softly, “Like we said when we were younger. When we said we would run away together?”
She giggled turning around in your arms. “Yes, like that. We can go anywhere in the world. Be like those women you once told me about.”
“I would like that very much.”
“Me too.”
“You rejected Fred? Amy, I thought you were the smart one of your sisters,” Aunt March huffed the moment Amy walked into the room. It was only days after her fight with the two of you. The ache she felt without you both was hard to ignore. She’s always had one of you in her life and it was strange to know you both were gone. That she forced you out of her life.
 “He has money, a good head on his shoulder and you reject him,” Aunt March continued to rant. “It makes no sense. Have you fallen ill with something or are you just stupid?”
Amy ignored her as she took a seat on the sofa. She started down at her hands. Her bare hands. Fred’s ring was beautiful. The life he was offering was beautiful, perfect, and everything she always hoped for. At least that is what she thought she wanted.
He was nice enough. He would be a good husband, a good provider, and a father. He would grow to love her because, as much as he claimed he did, he did not love her. And she could even grow to love him, but it wouldn’t be the sort of love Meg had with John, her parents had with each other. The love you and Laurie had for each other, had for her.
“Honestly, Amy. You were supposed to help your sisters out. Take care of them, they need the money. Instead, you ruin a good thing, and for what reason, hmm?”
“Aunt March,” Amy said cutting her off, “Why did you never marry?”
Aunt March stuck up her nose and turned her head away from her slightly. “I didn’t have to. I had money. I didn’t waste it away like some people.”
Amy took a deep breath to ignore the obvious comment about her family. “Yes but did you never want to marry? Meet someone you wanted to be with? You’ve never been in love.”
“Amy tell me you are not burdened with love?” She said as if she was speaking about a terminal illness.
“Have you, Aunt March?” Amy asked desperately.
Aunt March looked at Amy. Really looked at her and saw what she knew will be there. A sad young woman in love. A look she once saw in a mirror. She sighed deeply, before turning to Amy completely.
“Josephine might have been named after me, but you are the most like me, Amy,” she said softer than Amy had ever heard her speak. Her face was one of sadness and regret, sorrow and pain.
“I loved once. Someone, so deeply I feel them in my bones. I knew them by smell alone. Their foot pattern and their breathing. I was young when we met and it was like love at first sight as dramatic as the term is, it applied.”
“What happened why didn’t you marry?” Amy asked, leaning forward and hanging onto her every word.
“Because I am like you, Amy,” she said.
“Like me?”
“Times were harsher than now. You can live in Europe with a close friend and not get so many looks. Women are choosing to not marry and single women together don’t raise too many looks. And the Laurance boy would protect you both.”
Amy’s eyes widened slightly at both Aunt March’s confession and her knowing about her feelings for both Laurie and you.
“Oh don’t give me that look, Amy March. It is obvious by the way you three of you are together. She has been in love with you forever, and you with Laurie, and now the three of you are whatever you are. I thought you would never act on it. That you would marry Fred and have that life. This choice you are making Amy does not come easy. While it is more of a norm here, it doesn’t mean it is not without issues.”
“But I love them and I don’t care. I want to be happy. I want happiness and them. Money and pretty things, being content and taking care of the family, it’s nothing if I can’t have them,” Amy sobbed, “But I ruined things. They hurt me and I hurt them, and it’s awful and messy, but it is what I want. I want to fight with them, make up with them, cry, and love with them.”
“And what about your family? Your sisters?” 
“It is not my job to take care of them. I know I am being selfish, but I get to be selfish with my life do I not? I must live for myself and be happy. I love my sisters and I will try to help and support them. I will get a job teaching or selling my work.”
“Hmm.”
“What. Say something.”
“Both of them are quite well off.”
“I am not going to be with them for their money.”
“No no, but their money is a plus,” Aunt March, grasped both of Amy’s hands. “I will help your sisters, you should go. Be the strong Amy that you’ve grown into, and the whimsical, romantic Amy you have always been. The Brave March, I was not.”
Amy reached over and threw her arms around Aunt March’s shoulder. “Oh Aunt March, who knew you were such a softie,” Amy said kissing her cheeks, laughing as Aunt March groaned and tried to pull away.
“Yes yes, just keep it to yourself,” she said, patting her cheek. “Now, you have two people to go see.”
Amy pulled away grinning widely. “Yes, I do.”
You walked hand and hand with Laurie down the street in Italy. Neither of you happy to be in the city you two talked about so long ago. The pain of losing Amy, really losing her weighed you both down.
“This is my fault,” Laurie said softly.
You looked over at him in shock. “Theo, it is not your fault. It is both of our fault. We should have told Amy the truth or maybe not been so harsh with her, she is a sensitive woman.”
“I was the mean one. Asking her to marry me like that. And then roping you into it.
“And I am a woman with my own agency. You didn’t force me, Theo. I was harsh as well. I was the one that was with her and then kissed you. She should hate me forever for it.”
Laurie looked down and squeezed your hand. “I am glad that we are together.”
You smiled, squeezing his back. “Me too. I am very happy right now. It’s not something I’ve truly been in a long time.”
“I was only this happy in London,” he confessed. “I brought a ring then. One to ask you to marry me.”
“What? Theo no? Oh, I am so very sorry. I was horrible to you.”
“No. don’t be sorry. I suppose it was for the best. I got to fall in love with Amy and be close to her. And you got to know her feelings. You got to experience being in love with her and her loving you back.”
“Hey, she loved you as well.”
“But I was too stupid to see it,” he sighed.
“And I was too stupid in London to see you loved me.”
“We both are pale with this sickness then,” he said happily and swinging your hands back and forward.
You giggled, “I suppose we are. Someone should write a song about it,” you teased.
“My music is no good.”
“Oh lies, I saw the notebook back in the desk at home, you are talented. You just need to believe in yourself.”
“You saw that?” He asked, flushing.
“Yes, a few pieces about a pretty blonde in blue. Another is about the love of London. I am awfully curious about what those ones are about.”
Laurie, grabbed your waist, tickling you. “You little monster,” he chuckled as he watched you squirm. You giggled loudly trying to get away. People walking past you both stared some laughing along, others in distaste, but neither of you cared.
When Laurie stopped his attack he retook your hand. “Let’s go home?” 
You nodded. While you two didn’t discuss marrying each other you both did want to spend time in Italy and Laurie’s former home was beautiful and you knew how much it meant to him to be back.
Walking into the house you smiled warmly at Laurie, kissing him sweetly. “Shall I make us something for dinner or should we go back out later”
Laurie shrugged, “I don’t know. I might want to keep you in my bed all night long.”
“Oh Mr. Laurence, you deviant,” you chuckled, pushing his hands away as there was a knock on the door.
“Whoever it is get rid of them, you are mine,” he said, rounding the corner and giving you a wink.
You rolled your eyes at his playfulness and opened the door, only to be completely shocked about who was standing on the other side. “Amy? What are you doing here?”
Seeing Amy on your door steps was the last thing you thought you see. Yet there she stood, her hair down and her eyes wide, and her hands wringing in front of her. Her eyes darted all over your face and behind you before dropping to her hands.
Laurie moved into the foyer after hearing your words. He stood behind you, his hands resting on either side of your hips, tapping his pointer finger on your bone, a nervous habit you noticed.
Amy looked from you to Laurie then her eyes dropped to his hands on your waist. Her lips turned down in her perfect pout. “I had to tell you guys, something.”
“What is it?” Laurie asked.
She closed her eyes for a moment, balling her hands into fists before taking a deep breath and opening her eyes. “I was wrong about the poets,” she said.
“What?” you were confused and slightly worried that maybe Amy had lost her marbles, when Laurie pressed closer to you, forcing you both closer. “You’ve changed your mind?” He said softly, a bit of hope in his tone.
“Yes. I still believe that we have some power over who we love, but sometimes it happens unexpectedly. Sometimes you fall in love simply because it is meant to be. It isn’t a choice to fall in love, but it is a choice to fight for your love. To fight for happiness, equality, and love.”
You and Laurie looked at each other for a moment. Having no idea what to say to her confession. Your mind was running a mile a minute but only one thing repeated over and over and your head.
Amy was here.
“I turned down Fred’s proposal.” She continued. “And that was because I couldn’t live a life of lie. I couldn’t put myself aside for someone else. I don’t want a marriage of economic propositions. I rather never marry than be unhappy in marriage. I don’t want marriage if I can’t have it with you both. I love you both. And you don’t have to say anything but I needed to let you both know. I need-” 
You pushed yourself out of Laurie’s hold and pressed your lips to Amy's. You kissed her as if you would never kiss her again as if this was the last day on earth. As if all the oxygen was gone except for the one in her body. “Amy March, you speak too much,” you laughed, feeling tears run down your face.
Amy was crying as well. She released a cross between a laugh and a sob. “I know I know. I ramble sometimes and I talk too much but that is because I am passionate and this is important and you should talk about things that are important to you and you are-”
“Oh Amy, please,” Laurie chuckled, taking your place and pulling her into a kiss. His hand cupped the side of her face. His other hand reached back to tangle in yours. Laurie squeezed your hand and you couldn’t help but laugh and squeezes his back.
Amy pulled away flushing and you grinned grabbing her and pulling them both into the house. “Amy I am so happy you are here. My life would not be complete without you,” you said.
“Neither would mind,” Laurie said.
“My life is not a life without either of you,” Amy said, wrapping her arms around both your waists and hugging you both tightly.
You sighed happily hugging them both to you. Your eyes closed as you let yourself get lost in the hold of the two people you loved most in the world.
“So are we doing this,” Laurie asked, pulling back from the hug and looking at both of you.
Amy looked between the two of you and nodded. “Yes, more than anything.”
You smiled nodding. “You already know my answer.” 
“Good we have a lot to talk about and work out but for now, I just want to be with you both.”
You chuckled at the dark look in his eyes, one you have seen multiple times and Laurie flushed at your words. He was still so embarrassed of his desires and you just found him more enduring and attractive.
Amy glanced between the two of you. She pouted as she felt as if she was left out of some conversation. Seeing her pout, you cup her face kissing her until she melts against you. “Amy, my dove,  sweet Theo wants to spend time together.”
She nodded still lost.
“Naked in bed,” you added. You laughed at they both turned red. Amy glanced over at Laurie and he found the marble floors much more interesting.
“Will it be like when we did it?” She asked. Laurie’s head snapped up at her words, his mouth hanging open slightly.
You smirked at him, grabbing her hand. “It will be much better.” You held out your other hand for Laurie and tugged them both towards the bedroom. Once you closed the door, you stared at both of them.
Laurie was bouncing on his heels as his eyes jumped from your frame to Amy’s.  He looked so excited both you and Amy shared a look shaking your heads at him. “Don’t have a secret conversation about me,” he pouted.
“Poor Theo,” you said walking towards the bed. You slowly began undressing your outer layers, but they both jumped in helping you to undress. And then you and Amy turned your attentions to Laurie, undressing him quickly.  
Now both naked, you and Laurie turned to Amy. She giggled nervously and you smiled pressing yourself against her back while Laurie did the same to her front. “Relax Amy, we have you,” Laurie said, as he unbutton her corset.
“We will take care of you. We will make sure you are having a good time,” you said, undoing the bows and knots.
“I trust you both,” she said.
Once all three of you were undressed you all moved to the bed. Amy in the middle with you and Laurie on either side of her. Laurie grabbed the back of your head and kissed you deeply. 
You groaned against his lips as he bite your lower lip and tugged your hair slightly. You melt into the kiss and his touch, lost in Laurie’s orbit. A hand stroking your thigh and Laurie’s deep moan had you breaking away to look down at Amy.
She was stroking your thigh and running her finger along Laurie’s cock. “What do you call this?” she whispered to him.
He bit his lip, his breath hitching. “Um, it’s um it’s called a penis or a cock.”
She nodded. You wrapped your hand around hers and help her stroke his cock slowly. Laurie hissed causing you both to look up at him. “I won’t last long if you both keep this up,” he chuckled.
You and Amy giggled and you released her hand, pushing her shoulder back until she lay flat on the bed.  You situated yourself between her thighs, kissing her heatedly. You moaned and Amy grabbed your hips and grinding against you.
Laurie’s hand slid over both your shoulders, before going down your spine, causing you to shiver. Rubbing the head of his cock between the two of you his hands interlocked with Amy’s on your hips.
“Please, Theo,” you begged, against Amy’s lips.
“What is he going to do?” She asked, her eyes dark with lust and dancing with eagerness.
You grinned down at her. “Something amazing,” you said, dragging your lips along the side of her face, biting little love marks into her jaw.
Raising your hips slightly Laurie, pushing his cock between your bodies rocking his hips and moaning as he slid against both your soaking cores. Moaning you bit down harder on Amy causing her to cry out.
“Sorry, my dove,” you ran your tongue over the area in apology.
“No I like it bit me more,” she said, moving her hands to Laurie’s ass and pulling him closer. Laurie’s ball slapped loudly against your ass along with the sounds of your slick as it dripped from you to Laurie’s cock and down onto Amy.
Laurie groaned picking up speed and pressed his body against yours so he could kiss Amy. You reached between your bodies and rubbed both your nerves Each thrust in had your fingers brushing Laurie’s sensitive head.
“So close, not going to last much longer,” He groaned into her mouth.
“Me either, faster, please,” you moaned.
Amy shudders under you both. The weight of your body felt crushing, but she still wanted more of you both. She wanted you closer. She spread her legs wider, looping one of her legs around your calf and the other around Laurie’s waist.
“Oh, Dio,” Laurie breathed, as he came, shooting cum all over your lower stomach and and soaking you both more. Amy moaned, throwing her head back and scrunching her nose as she came, you followed quickly after her. 
Laurie thrust sloppily a few more times before rolling off of you onto the bed. Taking deep breaths you rolled off of Amy. You all lay in silence for a few minutes as you all tried to catch your breath.
And then Laurie started laughing, causing you both to look over at him.  He continued to laugh, covering his hands with his face. You sat up on your elbows to look at him closely. Amy's eyebrows pinched together, sitting up as well.
“Laurie, what is  so funny?” She asked.
“Yes, let us in on the joke,” you said, draping your arm over her hips and blinking expectantly at him.
He chuckled, removing his hand, and turned to face you both. “I was just thinking about the day Amy fell into the water.”
“What? Why?” You laughed.
“She fell in and we went in to save her. All three of us soaking wet and laid on the ice like this. I remember being so terrified but then Amy complained about her ruined dress and we all laughed.”
You snorted, laughing as well. 
“It was a pretty dress. And it was new,” she defended.
“You almost died,” Laurie stressed laughing. 
You joined in kissing her shoulder. “I was terrified too but it was one of my favorite days with the two of you.”
Amy laughed as well, wrapping herself around Laurie. “We all got cocoa at home and sat by the fire for hours just talking. All my sisters were out with Marmee and I got you both to myself.”
“And now you have us forever,” Laurie said, kissing her forehead then he pressed one to yours.
Grabbing the blanket you wrapped it around all of you, snuggling close together. You all needed to wash up and the sheets would need to be changed but that could wait until after a nap. You closed your eyes, laying your head on Amy’s shoulder as she laid hers on Laurie’s chest. As you drifted off you couldn’t help but think.
Amy loved you.
Amy loved Laurie.
She was here in Italy.
Amy was with you and Laurie.
Amy and Laurie
Amy and Laurie.
You, Amy, Laurie.

truth or dare
Tumblr media
synopsis y/n convinces the Skittles to play truth or dare. It's all fun and games until Reggie doesn't like your answers. He storms out and, when you go to confront him, he's forced to admit how he feels.
Word count 1309
note loosely based on a prompt I saw @sufferingstarlight write from.
warnings a little sad, angst, mention of death eaters/the dark mark, some swearing
pairing Regulus Black x reader (no pronouns I think? Although I was writing it thinking f! Reader)
I couldn’t believe I’d convinced all these pureblood wizards to play a muggle game. But there they were, all my friends, sitting around me and playing a game of truth or dare. Evan charmed a Hufflepuff girl into giving us some weed for free, and we’d smoked it outside before running giggling back to the Slytherin common room. The seventh years all left at the first sight of us. They probably knew we were in the mood to start some trouble. 
It was never hard to sneak Dora in anymore, although that probably had something to do with Regulus’ clout among our housemates for being a Black. Or maybe our housemates’ fear of him being a Death Eater. Either way, it worked out well for us. Dora was leaning against Reg, her long legs splayed in front of her. I was in a similar position, my top half leaning on Cas so she could play with my hair. It was the most euphoric feeling in the world to have her hands in my hair, especially when I was high. Evan was between Cas and Reg, while Barty sat between Dora’s and my feet. It was a good position, since I could give him a good kick whenever he said something stupid. With all that brain of his, one would expect him to say less dumb shit. 
I was just recovering from a fit of laughter at Evan’s last confession when Cas asked “y/n, truth or dare?”
“Hm,” I pretended to think. Normally I would love a good dare but, knowing Cas, she’d try to give me something she knew I’d struggle with. No one quite knew how to push my buttons like my best friend. “Truth this time.” I cracked my knuckles for effect. 
“Alrighttt.” I could feel the vibrations in her chest as she spoke. “If you could kiss any of the boys at school, who would it be?” 
My stomach dropped. Of course, she still had found a way to torture me. Oh, that girl was going to get jinxed later. She’d never be able to sleep safely in our room again. There was no way I could tell the truth. It would be painfully embarrassing to admit who I really, really wanted to kiss in this group. I wouldn’t live it down. Barty was wagging his eyebrows at me, and Evan looked equally interested in my answer. I was always so careful to keep who I liked close to my chest, though I suspected everyone already knew. I had to think of something before the length of time got way too suspicious. I let a glance fly over at Reg. Like always, he just stared at me, eyes blank, a slight furrow in his brow. I should say Sirius. Then maybe he’d actually react to me for once. Then maybe I’d know how he felt. Saying Potter might hurt him even more… But I couldn’t do something like that to him. 
“Uh, Remus, I guess.” I shrugged. 
Barty wrinkled his nose at that. “That boring friend of Sirius’?”
“He’s not boring,” I protested, “he’s… nice.” 
A scoff from Regulus. 
 I sat up straight, ready for a fight. “Is there something you want to say?”
“Nope.” Cocky asshole.
“Fine.” I crossed my arms. “Reggie: truth or dare?” 
“Truth.” His dark eyes were still blank but I could see tension in his lips. 
“Who in school would you kiss?”
He shook his head with a small laugh. “This muggle game is ridiculous.” 
All at once he was standing and stalking out of the common room with the haughty grace typical of all the Blacks. Pandora looked shocked when he disappeared from beside her and nearly fell over. Other than she and I, everyone gave a collective shrug. It wasn’t out of character for Reg to leave so abruptly, to get rumpled over nothing. But this time I hopped up from my spot as well. He couldn’t just leave like that. 
“Where are you going?” Evan asked. 
“I’m going to find that fucker.” I called back over my shoulder.
“Oh boy.” I could hear them all break out into laughter as I slammed the door behind me.
Regulus wasn’t hard to find. When I didn’t see him in the dungeons I knew where else to look. It was late in an October evening, and I had to wrap my arms around myself as I followed the edge of the Black Lake. There was no moon above, the only reflections cast on the water from the monolith of a castle behind me. So many days we’d spent out on the bank of the lake, on the side closest to the Forbidden Forest. There was nowhere else he’d go.
And there was Reg, pacing back and forth, his hands held out in front of him grasping the cold air. Strong hands. Piano hands. Writing hands. Hands I’d almost reached out for so, so many times. He appeared suspended in an argument with nothing.
I held my tongue until I was near, but had to speak when my presence wasn’t acknowledged. That close, I could finallyI see emotion on his face. Twisted up and white as a sheet. 
“Reg, tell me what’s going on.” My voice was soft, barely more than a rasp. 
“Nothing.” Still not a glance at me, though he’d stopped pacing. His chest was heaving as if he’d been yelling. “Go back inside, y/n.” 
He loved to give orders. As if anyone had any reason to obey him. 
“I’m not going anywhere.” The words flew out of me with a bite, and he looked up as if he’d been slapped. Maybe my tone was too close to his dreadful mother’s for comfort. But I couldn’t worry about that. We’d been playing pretend for too long. “Do you have a problem with Remus or do you have a problem with me?”
He scoffed again, his eyes up to the moonless sky. “You have no idea what I’ve got going on.” He always had to play superior. Always had to play prince. 
“Salazar, Regulus, I’m not a bloody idiot! Do you think that little of me?” 
He glared down at me, his eyes glistening. I took a step closer. The gap between us was so small I could feel his breath. 
“Either you’re jealous and you want me or you don’t and you’re the blood purity asshole Black family heir you want everyone to think you are. Just say which.” 
“Stop.” He shook his head at me.
“I’m already in. You can’t scare me away.” 
“Please stop.” Head still shaking. 
“I am in love with you, Regulus. I won’t take it back because it’s true and you can’t ignore it anymore.”  I could see the water welling in his lower lids. It was in mine, too. 
“We can’t,” he breathed. 
My hand, out of reflex more than anything else, lifted to his chin. I brushed my thumb along his bottom lip. He didn’t shy away from my touch like he had so many times before. 
“Please walk away.” There was so much desperation in those eyes. “Please.” 
“Why?”
He grasped his sleeve and wrenched it up. I didn’t have to look; I already knew. 
“If I have to take the mark myself, I will. Anything. Anything.”
“Fuck,” he sobbed, the tears finally falling. He let himself fall forward with them, our foreheads bumping against one another. 
“You love me.” I didn’t ask, but it was a question. A desperate question I’d asked myself about him a million times before. Does Regulus Black love me like I love him?
A nod that shook my own head with it. His red-rimmed eyes bore into me. “I love you.”
I moved my hands to cup his face on either side. “You never told me your answer.” 
And then I felt the softness of his lips on mine.

Storms and Bad Dreams
Inspired by @sufferingstarlight and their Fic dark times
It was another night of you and Timothee curled up on the couch. Timothee had been struggling to sleep for the past few days and it was clearly taking a toll on him. You held him close and kissed him. He sighed and rested his head on your shoulder.
It was storming outside the apartment and Timothee clung to you as you both sat listening to the loud storm. Timothee buried his head in your neck.
You felt warm tears on your neck and knew he was crying.
“It’s alright I’ve got you honey.” You carded a hand through his curls.
The nightmares that had been keeping Tim up all night were exhausting for the both of you. You hated seeing him like this and unfortunately you had run out of melatonin gummies to give him to help him sleep.
He had been working so much and so hard for so long that it was bound to catch up with him and hit him hard. He had already been sick and had missed the Dune Montreal premiere. Now he was dealing with nightmares and overall struggling to sleep.
Timothee continued to silently cry as you held him tight slightly rocking him in your arms.
“Shh mon amor.” You said trying to calm him down as lighting illuminated the living room and the thunder caused him to flinch.
You grabbed another blanket to wrap around the both of you. A heavier blanket hoping the deep pressure would be enough to soothe him.
You closed your eyes and leaned your head against his.
He kept his face buried in your neck as he cried and shook. He was so tired and miserable and you couldn’t stand to see him like that.
You already knew your plan for your day off work the next day. Sleeping in and then going out to stock up on melatonin gummy’s and anything else that Timothee might need to help him finally rest.
The storm raged on as you both sat curled up on the couch wrapped up in blankets and pillows. You were exhausted but you were fighting sleep because you wanted to give Timothee whatever he needed. The only thing he seemed to want was cuddles and you happily obliged.
You yawned and stretched a little. Timothee whined and nuzzled you with his tear stained face.
“Shh I’m here.” You remind him “I’m not going anywhere don’t you worry.” You say calmly.
Timothee sighs and finally pulls away to look at you. His green eyes tired, sunken and bloodshot .
You wipe away a tear with your thumb.
A loud crack of thunder goes off in the distance but it sounds like it’s right on top of the building.
Timothee startles and grips your pajama top. Looking at you with panic in his eyes.
You hold him tighter knowing that’s all he wants from you.
You rock him in your arms and kiss his face over and over.
You don’t know how or when but at some point you both finally fall asleep.

Darling Death
A collaboration with @sufferingstarlight
Chapter 1, 2, 3, 4
Warnings: toxic male behavior, talks and mentions of death and dying, cemetery, not proof read
Chapter 5 - Day 5
"So, grim reapers can cook too? Let me add that to the list of random abilities you seem to possess," I said as I took in the array of food on the dining room table. Bacon, eggs, oatmeal. "You made pancakes too?"
"Actually, they're crepes." He seemed proud of himself, but also the slightest bit timid, like he wanted to make sure everything was to my liking. He stood in the entry way as I took a seat. I filled my plate with three glorious pieces of bacon, a hearty scoop of eggs and two of the crepes-not-pancakes.
"I gotta say," I said, as I shoveled a fork full of the stuff into my mouth. "Pancakes are better." I looked up, my cheeks stuffed with food. Timothee stood there, staring at me, a hint of a smile plastered on his face and I realized he looked more like he was lost in thought...and maybe admiring me. He quickly realized I noticed shook his head, as if erasing the expression from ever existing.
"Are you not gonna eat?" I asked, suddenly feeling embarrassed about the amount of food I had on my plate.
"I don't really need to eat," Timothee said, shrugging. "But I'll sit with you."
I watched him as he walked effortlessly to the table, if I didn't hear the slightest clack of his shoes on my hardwood floor, I would have assumed he was floating. He pulled out a chair and took a seat.
"Lemme guess, grim reapers feed off of a portion of the dead's souls, giving them sustenance until the next victim they reap passes?"
"Yes, actually."
My eyes snapped up, meeting his. There was a mixture of seriousness and amusement in them, and it was a mixture that made my stomach flip in a way that I wasn't expecting. This time I shook my head and scooped up the rest of my food with my fork.
"You're fucking weird, man. Speaking of, I've got work today and a date tomorrow, so would you mind keeping the gloomy stalker show to a minimum? I can't have another outburst like I did the other day. Josie is already sick of my shit as it is."
When he didn't respond I looked back over at him. His hands were in white knuckled fists on the table, if he were holding a glass, I'm sure it would have shattered into a million pieces. His dark hair curled over his eyes, so this time I couldn't make out their demeanor, though if it matched his fists, it wasn't a good sign.
"A date? Really Y/n?" Timothee finally said.
"Uhm, yeah? Why is there some rule that bars me from going on a date before I die?"
"No, but maybe I should make one," he said under his breath.
"What was that?" I asked, hearing every word he'd said. Was he jealous? All he was supposed to be here for was collecting my soul.
"Nothing. Is this date with a boyfriend?"
"Not that it's any of your business," I said even though the thought of Tristan and I being more than just friends almost made my breakfast come back up. "He's an old friend that's liked me for at least a decade. Last week, before you showed up, I agreed to give him a chance over dinner and a movie."
"So, there's no boyfriend?"
"Why do you care?" I pretended to be annoyed.
He smirked at my tone, and even though the fact that he seemed so interested in my love life, or lack thereof, should have bothered me, it did the exact opposite.
"I don't. It's just that sometimes the goodbyes are messy when there's a lover involved, so you might not want to make him any promises on this 'date'." He put the last word in finger quotes.
The rest of that day went by shockingly quick and uneventful, though Timothee couldn't resist a casual jump scare or two. He'd walk behind me, unknown to anyone else and run a finger across the back of my neck or blow into my ear. Each tease made me want him to push me against a wall again, run his nose against my neck and breath my 'underworldly' scent in. And weirdly enough, I started to like the sound of that.
Darling, you smell like the underworld.
Day 5
I slid on my strappy black dress, the one I pretty much reserved for dates, disappointed that Timothee wasn't around to see it on me. I hadn't seen much of him, which was weird considering I couldn't get rid of him lately. I tried to push away that feeling. The feeling of missing someone you have no right to. The empty chest feeling that is only cured by one person's presence.
The only thing I didn't like about that dress was how much it showed. It wasn't as revealing as it could be, but it still showed the one part of me I always tried to cover. My collar bones. It wasn't that they were bad, they were actually quite nice. It was the dark, swirling birthmark staining my skin on my left collar bone. I'd tried everything from makeup and concealers, that eventually just melted off of it. To removal that even lasers couldn't touch. It was just...a part of me. Every time I wore this dress, I watched as my date's eyes travel down to it. Normally, I'd wear a cardigan to cover it up, but with mine and Tristan's fifteen years of friendship, he saw it before.
I made my way to the semi-fancy Italian restaurant, already limping in the heels I shouldn't have worn. It wasn't until I walked inside and met Tristan at the table, he already reserved for us, that Timothee took a seat. Right next to Tristan. I wasn't unaware to Timothee's eyes sweeping over my body. The last few days he'd only seen me in casual clothes, nothing this fancy. Then I saw it. His eyes locked on my birthmark.
I shot him a look, the irritation evident in my eyes and face. Tristan looked in the direction of Timothee, a confused look on his face, but, of course, couldn't see him. Tritan looked around the room, wondering who I could be giving this look of disdain to. Little did he know he was sitting right next to him.
"Thanks for giving me this chance," Tristain said.
I hid my cringe. Why did he make it seem like he was interviewing for a job.
"We've been friends forever, Tris, why wouldn't I give you a chance."
Beside Tristan, Timothee rolled his eyes. He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, watching me in amusement.
Tristan perked up at my answer, hope filling his eyes. Timothee pushed out his bottom lip into a pout shook his head in mock sadness. Then I remembered what he said the day before. Don't make any promises. So instead, I just smiled at him.
We placed our orders and drank our drinks awkwardly while we waited. I hated how strange this felt, even if Timothee wasn't sitting in between us, Tristan and I had dinner together many times, why did he have to make something as causal as eating food together feel so different this time.
"So, y/n," Tristan said, breaking my train of thought. "I've been thinking and, I really think you should open up a bit."
Timothee made a face of mock shock and put an index finger to his mouth in thought.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, not able to hide the slight attitude brewing inside of me.
"It means I know you like me. And for some reason you won't let me in. So, I think tonight is the night that that happens."
"Let you in? Wha the fu-"
Sensing the mood, the waiter approached with our plates and politely placed them in front of us and walked away without asking any questions.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I finished my sentence.
"It means that this is the way the rest of tonight is going to go: we're going to eat this food, and I'm going to pay for it. Then we're going to go to the movie you picked out at 8, which I am also paying for, then you're going to take me to your house and we're going to do what I say from that point on."
I was shocked into silence, my mouth hanging open in disbelief. I'd known Tristan for fifteen years and he'd never once acted this way. I looked over at Timothee and I almost wished I hadn't. His face was almost dark with rage. His eyes normally a greenish-blue color was now completely black. His furrowed and close to his eyes and he worked his jaw in a way that I'd only seen people do before a fight. Then, he stood up, the chair behind him fell to the ground causing Tristan and a few people in the surrounding area to gasp. Our waiter came over and picked up the chair and whispered a polite and confused "I'm sorry." Timothee made his way to the front of the restaurant and slid out of the door once a busboy held it open for a older couple to come in. And suddenly, I felt a lot less safe without him sitting at the table with me. This new side of Tristan seemed sinister.
Tristan shoveled a ravioli into his mouth, glaring at me. "Are you not going to eat?"
"I'm not hungry," I said through my teeth.
The door opened again, and I heard the sound of a familiar voice. I turned around and there he was, Timothee. My grim reaper. I didn't hide the smile on my face, I couldn't help it. This time it was clear everyone in the room could see him. I watched as he spoke in a whisper to the busboy at the door. Timothee glanced in my direction and winked. Then the busboy looked over at us and nodded. Instant relief flooded my entire being.
I wasn't sure how he was able to change so quickly, but he was now wearing a very expensive looking suit, all black with small accents of red and a pin attached to the collar that was none other than a scythe. The entire restaurant quieted and watched as he walked, in seemingly slow motion, to our table. All eyes, including mine and including Tristan's were on him. The busboy followed behind and quickly pulled out the chair that Timothee was sitting in moments before.
"Y/n," Timothee greeted me, pulling my hand into his and kissing the top of it. Already, I felt my core turn molten. His lips felt like fire and ice on my skin.
"Who is this man?" Tristain said, disgusted.
"You must be Tristain," Timothee said extending a hand. When Tristain didn't take it, he elegantly curled his fingers into a first. "I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but it's unfortunately the exact opposite. Tell me, does it bring you pleasure to try and take advantage of women, or do you do it because your dick is small?"
I snorted and spat out some of my drink. I could see Timothe's smirk forming along his profile.
"Excuse you?"
"What do they call that these days? Small dick energy?"
I covered my mouth with my palm, resisting the urge to laugh.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a...close friend of y/n's." Timothee said, putting an emphasis on the word close that made me bite my lip.
"Wow, I've waited all this time for you to give me a chance y/n and you just take in some twink off the street?"
"Tristain!"
Timothee shrugged, "I've been called worse." Then he leaned in closer, luckily the rest of the restaurant went back to their food and conversations. "Allow me to tell you how the rest of tonight is going to go..." Timothee's gaze hardened and instantly Tristan's eyes glossed over, his mouth hung open, and he was transfixed on Timothee, as if he was being hypnotized. "You're going to get up from here and you're going to leave."
"I was just about to leave, yeah," Tristan said calmly.
"And when you leave, you will not contact y/n again."
"Who?"
"Good, good," Timothee praised and selfishly I wished it was me he was praising instead. Then, he took a fistful of Tristans shirt and pulled him closer, "and if you do," Timothee spoke so softly I could barely hear what he said. "I will kill you myself. And trust me, you don't want to see what kind of death a reaper is capable of."
Tristan nodded and stood up and waved. "Enjoy your meal," he said as he made his way to the door. I watched until he left, waited a few minutes to be sure he wouldn't reappear and turned back around. Timothee was already sitting in his seat.
"Will he be, okay?" I asked.
"You still care about that?"
"I mean I don't want him to die on the way home. He seemed out of it."
"Unfortunately, he'll be fine."
The waiter stopped by and took away Tristan's plate. Timothee nodded politely and focused back on me.
"You don't own me you know," I said, in a voice that should have sounded headstrong but was anything but. As time went on it seemed more and more to me like that's exactly what I wanted. "You're just here to collect my soul."
"Technically, I do. I am sent here to watch you, look over you until your time is up. I am meant to protect you. Though, this situation is unlike one I have ever encountered."
"How do you mean?" I asked.
"You should eat," Timothee said, changing the subject. "Eat your dinner, and I'll take you to that movie."
"Okay, but you have to keep talking."
Timothee nodded. Only resuming the conversation once I scooped a bite of lasagna into my mouth.
"Most of the souls, at least everyone I've collected have not been able to see me. I wasn't expecting it to have this type of effect on me."
I swallowed my lasagna hard as he said the words.
"I don't own you. No," he started, then reached out and brushed my hair away from my collar bone. He let his finger graze my birthmark. I shudderd at the touch. "But I'd like to. Very much."
Fuck.
He scooted up, his chest flush against his side of the table and one of knees made their way in between my legs. He dropped a long arm beneath the table and slid his palm up my leg. I dropped my fork. "I wish I could be the blood that traveled through your veins, the air that you breath into your lungs." His index finger grazed my core through my panties and I jumped, hypersensitive to the touch. My plate clanging against the table, my glass tipping over.
"Can we go?" I pleaded.
"Eat your food. All of it."
I started to protest.
"Or do I need to feed it to you?"
I shoveled in the rest of my lasagna and downed my entire diet coke. My skin tingling as Timothee gave me small touches under the table. We walked out moments later, my knees weak. Timothee laced an arm around my waist, holding my up and against him. His temperature freezing against my hot skin. We began walking in the direction of the movie theater, but somehow between soft touches and him pressing his nose into my hair we strayed off the path.
"Look!" I said, pointing to a cemetery. "Let's go in there."
"What about your movie," Timothee called after me.
"It's already 8:35, it's already started."
"I loathe cemeteries," Timothee groaned.
"What!?" I pulled his cold hand into mine and drug him into the foggy gates of the local cemetery. "A grim reaper scared of a graveyard!? This is where the bodies of all those souls you take go!"
"I didn't say I was scared. I just don't like them."
"Why?" I teased. It was getting dark, the cemetery would close soon, but for some reason I felt compelled to go in there. Like I needed to be there. "If you're scared say you're scared." I climbed upon a stone bench next to a large oak tree. Timothee stood in front of me and for the first time I was eye level with him. Then it hit me. "I've got eight days to live." I said it out lout without even meaning to. "Eight days to live and...I've not even gotten the chance to live."
Timothee looked at me and maybe it was because we were eye level for the first time, but it seemed like he really saw me. "If it makes you feel any better," he said, taking my arms and draping them over his shoulders. He circled his around my waist, pulling my closer into him. He ducked his head slightly, running his nose along my chest, stopping at my birth mark. He kissed it lightly causing my back to arch. His touch there felt like dark magic and sin. "I wish it was anyone other than you."
"Why?"
"Because now that I know you exist, I don't want you to cease to."
And before his lips found mine, they hovered there, his cold breath swirling and mixing with my warm breath, becoming too intoxicating for me to pretend I didn't need him now. His lips skated across mine effortlessly, like a dance we'd practiced for eternity. My hands slid into his dark, curly hair. I wrapped my legs around his waist, earning a soft groan from him. He turned us around and sat on the bench. He kissed me like it was the first and last kiss he'd ever have. Like sadness and hope mixed together to form a melancholy war between life and death.
A kiss can change a human life. And that one did.

A PR Nightmare
Timothée Chalamet was a man madly in love, not with LRD or any of the other PR women he’d been pictured with, although his photo gallery was full of his girl. Y/n Y/l/n, dear God even her name sounded like a prayer. She was beautiful, the most beautiful human being he has ever met. And not just physically but inside too, she had a heart of gold and a soul as pure as freshly fallen snow. She would offer her help without even a second thought, like it was as normal as breathing to help others.
Yes she was the one for him, he thought as he lay beside her in bed early morning watching her eyes flutter open and smiled at her. ‘Good morning my love’ he leaned forward brushing her long hair away from her face and placed small kisses on her shoulder as she hummed and slid over to lay her head on his chest ‘Do you really have to go into work today? We could just stay in bed all day’
He sighed running his fingers up and down her back. ‘I want nothing more than that, but mark says he needs to see me and it’s urgent. So it’s unavoidable I’m afraid.’
She sighed nodding and kissed up his chest and neck slowly reaching his lips and held his face and pecked his lips.
‘Make it a quick meeting and I’ll be here waiting for you my love.’
He hummed returning the kisses and groaned when she moved away.
He got up with her and got dressed quickly wanting to get back quickly so he could spend the entire day with her as she walked into the shower room.
When Timmy returned she knew there was something off about him. She only had to take one look at him to know he had been crying and ran over to him and took his face in her hands ‘Timmy? Timothée look at me baby, what’s happened talk to me.’ He pushed her gently against the nearest wall burying his face against her neck mumbling ‘They’ve put me into a relationship with Kylie Jenner.’
She closed her eyes and held him tight. ‘It’s okay, we’ll figure something out, okay?’ She held him close as he nodded against her neck her T-shirt damp from his tears.
Three months later y/n was at home alone in LA while Timmy was asked to do some work in New York. She was scrolling through Twitter not really looking at anything when she got a notification from Instagram. There dressed in all white was Timmy on the Met Gala carpet smiling lazily, with Kylie Jenner at his side smirking away.
Y/n felt her heart stop, he never said anything about attending the Met Gala this year, y/n stumbled to the bathroom hearing her heartbeat in her ears and threw up.
When she was finished she walked upstairs and began packing her things in the bedroom she had been sharing with Timmy. She grabbed her phone and printed out the photo using her Instax mini printer and stuck it on a note she would leave for Timmy ‘Hope you had fun.’
She walked downstairs and left the note on the table in the hall and locked the door behind her.
She knew he didn’t have a say in the contract, but he lied to her about his business in New York, and she never thought he would do that to her.
She drove off into the night, her phone switched to silent in her bag.

How badly do you want it? | part 4
I really wasn’t going to write another part for this one, but my favorite blog @sufferingstarlight commented on the last part asking for another part soooooo here we are
Tumblr media
Regulus Black x Fem!Reader
Warnings: short, fluffy sex, gentle sex, oral sex(f receiving), unprotected sex
The feeling of cold but soft fingertips trailing down my skin is something I've becime used to rather quickly. Regulus absolutely loves to slide his hands all over my body, murmuring soft words of praise as he does. He’ll press soft kisses to any scars, moles, freckles, etc. “So beautiful.....” Then, he begins to suck harshly onto my skin, painting the skin a darker shade. 
Eventually, his lips slide down to my soaking center, licking a thin stripe between my folds. He let out a groan into me, burying his face into my slick. “Tastes so good...” I moaned softly as he buried his tongue into my entrance, swirling it about with a suck. “R-reg... need you...please..” He chuckled sweetly, giving one last suck to my sensitive nub as he sat up, hands going to the sides of my face. 
“I want to do it differently this time love... I don’t want this to just be sex.” My eyes widened slightly as I looked to him, my lips slightly parted. I could feel the heat covering my face.
 “Reg, I- I feel the same, I want you to make love to me.. Not just a fuck. I, I love you..” I trailed off, avoiding his gaze. He immediately slammed his lips against mine in the absolute softest way possible, smiling big into the kiss. His arms slid around my waist, as he positioned himself at my entrance. 
“I love you, more than anything else.” He blurted quietly as he pushed in softly, whining at the feel of my velvety walls. I opened my mouth to respond, when the head of his cock nestled against that spot deep inside of me that had me seeing stars. He started off with soft, slow thrusts into me, holding my body close to his own. 
“I love you too Reggy, more than my grades.” I moaned out, he immediately chuckled pressing a kiss to the corner of my lips. “I’m absolutely honored my love." I giggled happily a huge smile pulling at my lips, his thrusts were deep and slow now, and our bodies were practically one with how tightly pressed together we were.
He began to softly glide his finger tips up and down my back with each thrust, soft moans constantly leaving his pretty mouth. I slid my hands to the back of his head, and pulled him in for another kiss. Our tongues melded together into a sweet dance, lips locked lovingly. His forehead pressed to mine as he continued the kiss, his thrusts becoming deeper and deeper despite their gentle nature.
I whined into his mouth as the tightness in my lower abdomen finally unleashed, my lower half clenching his cock. He groaned, his thrusts beginning to slow as he began to release inside of me, arms tightening around me once again. He pulled his mouth from mine, and held my cheek lovingly, staring into my eyes. "I really love you... So much."
I only giggled and replied, "I love you too Regulus." He pressed his lips back to mine, smiling into the kiss once again.
-
This was just pure fluffy smut, I have no more plot for this one in my brain but I hope it was enjoyable at least<3

Part three of Drowning.
Wordcount: 2.0K+
Description: Returning home was a like a hug from a long lost friend, inviting, warm, and comforting, but your home is more than New York it is a person.
A/N: I would like to give a shoutout to @blackqueenstarseed1​​ and @sufferingstarlight​​  who comments I reread this morning that made me sit down and write this. Thank you to you both and everyone that read and enjoyed part 1 and part 2.
Also if you want to know I listened to I love you Boy by Suzy on repeat the whole time. Highly recommend to listen while reading if you want to cry
Warning: Fluff, Angst that wasn’t supposed to be here, crying, mention of losing a child. 
Tumblr media
The first thing you saw when you stepped onto the subway was a rat the size of a small dog. You couldn’t help but laugh. You laughed so joyously and hard that people gave you sideways likes. 
You laughed until you had tears running down your face. It felt nice to laugh so unabashedly. It felt nice to laugh at all. It felt nice that tears ran not in pain, but joy. You didn’t even realize how much you missed this until you were here.
New York was home. Home wasn’t where you were born, or where you spend the most time it was where you were the most comfortable. The place you ached for in your bones when away. The place you were yourself that knew you best.
New York was home because you missed the giant rats, the heavy air, and the hustle and bustle of the busy New Yorkers. The pizza place that knew your order by heart, the coffee shop whose coffee was overpriced and horrible, but the little old lady that ran it made you feel like family so you kept coming back.
It felt good to be back home. You refused a car service, you wanted to be amongst the people, just another person in the sea of people. The subway ride was horrible. Way too many people were pressed against you. One man was shaving his legs, while another was loudly listening to a podcast.
It was hot and packed and you couldn’t love it more.  Getting off the train you walked the final few blocks to your hotel, it was raining, but you had no umbrella and happily welcomed the rain to fall.
It didn’t rain like this in Florida. Florida's rain was harsh with violent thunder and lightning. Here the rain just seemed like another part of the city, just slowly going about its day. Most people didn’t even break stride as they pulled out their umbrellas and went about their day.
You were soaked by the time you arrived at your hotel. You checked in and went to your room. You shivered and needed a shower to wash all the New York essence off of you, but you wanted to hold to it a bit more.
Texting your agent you let him know you arrived and to double-check the time for your audition tomorrow. Then you text him. Letting him know you were in your hotel room and back.
The facetime call came in barely a minute later and you couldn’t help but laugh as you answered, still dripping wet.
“Why are you soaking?” He asked the minute his face came into view. 
You smiled softly, sitting against the wall. “It’s raining out. I didn’t have an umbrella.”
“You should shower and get out of those wet clothes, I don’t want you to get sick,” he said, frowning softly, concern and worry evident in his eyes.
“I will, I just wanted to let you know I’m here. I made it home safely.” I made it back to you, me, to us.
Timmy’s face soften hearing the words you didn’t speak out loud but were shining in your eyes. While you were drenched, shivering, he could see how bright and happy you were. A far cry from the last time you were in New York. He couldn’t help but feel his heart skip as he realize in less than 24 hours he would see you in person again. He could hug you, hold you in his arms and if he was lucky, you’ll let him kiss you.
“I’m glad you arrived safely.” And because he needed to make sure he asked, “Are you still good with getting dinner tomorrow at 8?”
“At Toni’s. I would not miss it for the world.”
He grinned wider, his eyes glowing with his excitement. “Are you nervous about your audition?”
“Yes. It’s been over a year since my last.”
“Yes, but you are one of the best actors. A once and a generation I think the Times called you,” he teased.
“I am a much different person than when they said that.”
“Things have happened… horrible things, but your talent and passion. Your heart and core didn’t change. Looking at you soaked reminds me of our first date. Walking in the park and the rain fell. Instead of being upset you grinned and made me dance around in it with you.”
“It was the first time I got caught in the New York rain. I heard it was a rite of passage so I had to enjoy it.”
“I am glad I got to witness your first rain.”
“If I remember correctly, you kissed me.”
Timmy flushed. 
He remembered thinking how incredibly free and happy you looked that day. He thought you were the most beautiful thing in the world, he already knew you were talented and heard all good things about you, but at that moment he felt like he was seeing into your soul and saw the future he dreamed of. 
Without thinking he grabbed your hand and pulled you closer. “I really would like to kiss you.” He had said so quietly you barely heard him over the rain, but your answering “yes” was all he heard before his lips met yours.
Timmy chuckled looking back at you through the phone pulling himself out of the memory. “I was really bold. Kissing you on the way to the date? I can’t believe I did that.”
“I think I liked you more than you did.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I think by the end of the date I was in love with you.”
“I know I was in love and probably had a cold.”
“Yes that too,” you replied.
“It’s why I know you will do amazing tomorrow. We both know the audition is probably more for a chemistry test. Directors are probably fighting to have you in their next projects.”
“Are you going to take on more work soon? I know the play is ending soon.”
“Luca says he has something in the works and he would like me to see if it is something I’m interested in.”
“Which you are.” He wasn’t the only one that knew the other so well.
“Which I am, so I will see how that goes.”
“It’s nice to get back to normal”
He hummed in agreement. “Normal doesn’t mean forgotten though.”
You nodded in understanding. “No, but it means finding reasons to keep pushing forward.”
“And have you found that reason?” He asked curiously.
Your eyes met through the screen. “My reasoning to myself. I owe it to myself to not crumble to keep making progress, and to not punish myself with pain. To swim and not drown anymore.” You paused. “It’s you and the possibility of dancing in the rain again.”
He took a sharp intake of breath at your words. He blinked quickly glancing away from you. “You have always been my north star, my reasoning to go on. The best friend and biggest supporter. When you left, I’ve never been more lost. I had drifted so far away from who I was. I felt so abandon and alone. I had to learn that relying on someone else wasn’t bad, but I also needed to learn to stand on my own and be strong for myself.
He paused looking back at you. His eyes were cloudy and bittersweet. “I hate that you left, but it was what was best for us. We were both falling and one of us needed to cut the rope so we could survive. I like seeing us on the other side.”
“Something that seemed impossible months ago,” you said, quietly.
“But we are both better, happier, and getting back into life.”
“We are not just existing anymore.”
“I want to live and have a life. And I still want that with you.” He bit his lip, his eyes flicking all over your face. He wanted to tell you that in person, but he worried it would be too much too soon, but he wanted you to know where he stood. Whatever you wanted or decided he would respect, but he would voice his desire as well. He had to think of himself and his life too.
“I took the wrong train today,” You said, looking out the window at the rain still coming down.
Timmy's heart dropped as you changed the subject. He squeezed his eyes closed, willing himself to not cry. That it was better to both have your cards on the table. This was better than getting hurt down the line. “Yeah?” He asked, cursing himself for his voice cracking.
“I didn’t even realize it was the wrong train until I was in the station and realize where I was going.”
“Where?” He whispered.
“ To the house, we brought when we got engaged. To the place we made and lost our son. To where you are. To home.” 
His eyes opened slowly, confusing heavily present but a small gleam of hope making itself known.
“Subconsciously that is where I was drawn to. And there is no place I would rather be. No person I rather have a life with. These past months have not changed my feelings for you. I still love you as much as I did when you first kissed me when you propose when I got pregnant, and when I walked out our front door.”
Timmy laughed. Loud and broken, tears ran down his face. “Fuck I don’t know if I’m crying or laughing. I can’t express how much I wanted to hear you say that.”
“I should have said so sooner.”
“You said it when we both needed to hear it. I love you.”
“I love you.”
“I really think you should shower and get out of those dry clothes. I want to kiss you tomorrow and not get sick,” he choked out a laugh.
“I think you are right. I am probably half frozen against this wall.”
“Oh Mon Coeur. I am destined to spend my whole life possibly getting sick because of your love of rain?”
“If you are okay with that.”
“I am more than okay with it. Shower, get something to eat, and call me back.”
“Okay. I’ll call you back. Love you.”
“I love you, Mon Coeur.”
The phone went black but you couldn’t help but stare at it a bit more. Every part of your being feels lighter and happier. You couldn’t wait to see him tomorrow.
The next day was a blur of happy moments. You woke with a sweet text of encouragement from Timmy and your agent and had breakfast at your favorite place. Your audition went so well that before you could live the building you were offered the part.
The best part was on your way to Toni’s. It started to rain as you cut through the park. You laughed, looking up at the sky. You loved the rain and how unpredictable it could be, but you wanted to look your best when seeing Timmy again.
And then, before you could get too soaked, an umbrella was covering you, shielding you from the downpour. You followed the umbrella, to a hand, up an arm covered by a thick jumper to a freckled neck to a sharp jaw, and finally, eyes that felt so familiar they could have been your own.
“Mon Coeur, the rain again?” He said, breathlessly.
“Timmy.” You couldn’t think of anything else but his name. 
Timmy 
Timmy
Timothee 
Timothee 
Your Timmy.
You grabbed both sides of his jumper and pressed your lips to his. Timmy was taken back by your kiss, but his eyes closed and he happily melt against your hold, kissing you with everything he had and you gave it all back.
The umbrella dropped from his hands. The rain poured down on you both, but you didn’t notice as you kissed. You cupped his cheek, pulling away enough to speak. “Timmy,’ you whispered against his lips.
“Mon Coeur. It’s … I don’t know you’ve taken all my words.” He said, confusingly blank of words to express himself
“Me too.” And you were pulling him in for another kiss.

"It is no night to drown in:
A full moon, river lapsing
Black beneath bland mirror-sheen"
Lorelei by Sylvia Plath
-----------------------------------------------------
Chapter I
I felt so dizzy with anguish, I felt like teeth and fangs tore at my flesh ripping it clean off of my muscles and bones. I felt as though my blood dripped from my heart down the corridors, I couldn't see, tears blinded my vision. I couldn't breathe, oxygen was stolen from my lungs.
Everything felt meaningless, not even my usual comforts from Sylvia Plath or Anaïs Nin's words could save me from my own suffering.
I didn't even desire to pray at my altar to Cerridwen, for I think no one, not even the great Goddess, had a cure for heartbreak.
I've loved Marley since I was thirteen.
She used to always ask me what I was reading, I told her about my muggle books I carried with me everywhere as she would play with my auburn hair. She'd lay her head in my lap and I'd recite poems from Sylvia word for word from memory, as I played with her cropped hair.
When that bludger hit her, I healed her, not Madame Pomfrey. She kissed me under the bleachers and carved our initials in the wood, and I lost my virginity to her that night when Gryffindor beat Slytherin. We snuck out and she surprised me with a tent by the lake. She knew the squid wouldn't harm us, no creatures attacked when I was around.
Things did begin to get a little rocky after a bit, like when I asked her why she wouldn't tell her parents I was her girlfriend. Despite being perfectly nice people, and tolerable of me as just a friend of their dear Marlene, Malcolm and Elspeth McKinnon didn't like the idea of their youngest daughter having romantic ties to a Muggle-Born. It would ruin their perfect image as Scotland's strongest Wizarding family.
Yes, Slytherins aren't the only prejudiced wizards. Everyone else is just very good at hiding the arsenic in the sugar, most wizard folk aren't very comfortable with any sort of connections to the Muggle realm, they're terrified of exposure. As if there weren't superstitious muggles, my Nain used to tell me all sorts of Welsh folklore and superstitions. She lives in an old cottage in Gwynedd, a pagan lady who taught me of what people call the old Gods, Gods I know to still exist.
This world acts as if muggles are so ignorant of the existence of magic, clairvoyance is even something that is passed down from my mother's side of the family, The Castells are even rumor to have lineage that goes back to Pelleas, Nimue, and Rhiannon. My middle name is Nimue and my sister Petunia's is Rhiannon.
Marley didn't let anything convince her to go against her parents, I should have known then she didn't love me. I stopped hanging out with Sev for her, I started being mean to James Potter for her, and Cerridwen, did I feel guilty for that. Even though he was never nice to Sev, I found myself getting along with James and the Marauders, it's not as if Sev jumped to my defense when his friends called me a mudblood. For Arawn's sake, why am I always the one to have to make all the compromises and sacrifices?
Marley made me feel like a slag for finding James attractive, never did I think more than that or try anything, and James never tried to seduce me, just flirty comments here and there. But tonight, tonight I learned from her own lips, the lips that used to console me and make love to me, that she and Dorcas, my friend Dorcas, slept together. And to add insult to injury, she dumped me in front of all the girls in our dorm.
Two years I pledged my love to that fucking quidditch obsessed, Don Juanita.
I leaned my body against the castle wall, only to have one of the bloody paintings bitch at me that my crying is keeping them awake. What do they need sleep for? They're dead.
I threw myself off the wall and headed up to the Astronomy tower, desiring deeply to suffer and lick my wounds alone.
I didn't even want to sleep there anymore, I felt homeless.
I ascended the tower, tears flowing freely the moment my senses touched the fresh air of the sky. I ripped off the amethyst bracelet with a delicate M charm dangling, Marley got me that for our first anniversary. I stomped on it and watched it shattered into a thousand pieces like my heart.
What about me is so hard to love? Was I not supportive enough? Was I not always available whenever she wanted me? Am I not pretty enough? I thought of Dorcas's smooth, chocolate skin, her wide bedroom eyes the color of pure caramel, her waist length, dark coils and her elegantly slender body as if she were part elven. I can't compete with her, she's so even tempered and cool and elegant. I'm strange, erratic, crazy is what Marley called me after I just decided to chop off my red locks to a bouncy bob. I hate being called crazy, I can't stomach it. She prefers her girls to have long hair, well I'm not her girl anymore.
"Crucio!"
My heart stopped, my blood froze. Hearing one of the unforgivables was like nothing you can prepare for. My instinct was to stop it, stop that person from inflicting pain on the other. But when I ran to the scene of the crime, my eyes widened in horror for there was no one inflicting crucio on another, but none other than Regulus Black, inflicting pain on himself.
Crumpled on the ground, hunched over, sleeves of his black jumper rolled up to expose his arms, his distinct dark curls falling over his face. There was no mistaking the prominent cheekbones, his wand pointed to his wrist where blood dripped from slashes and now the word empty was brutally edged and woven into his alabaster skin.
Tears splattered and mixed with the seeping blood from his wounds. I held up my hand "arresto!"
Messing around on my own, I have discovered I can perform a little wandless magic. I have also discovered my ability to simply create the spell arresto , which can stop movement.
I was glad to see Regulus drop his wand with a gasp, shock colored his gray-green eyes as his head snapped up to stare at me in astonishment and then anger. I panted, that particular spell takes a lot out of me.
"Why?" He spat, his eyes darkened. "What in Merlin's name possessed you to do that?" He growled. "And how-"
I'm friendly with Sirius, and Sev, meaning that Regulus has always been around. I've attempted many times to greet him but he shied away from me often, probably because of my blood Status. Blood supremacy couldn't stop me from empathizing with the younger Black brother.
I understand what it's like, to feel the need to harm yourself to make you forget about the horrors of your reality. During the dark days, I'd burn myself by any means, there would be freedom in pain. But that isn't right, and to see him so unhappy and desperate enough to crucio himself….I felt protective of him, whether he wanted it or not, I will protect him, even from himself.
I made my way over and fell to my knees, taking his arm in my hold. "Evans, what the hell do you think you're doing? You stupid bitch, you've ruined everything!" He snapped.
I know he's upset, but my emotional wounds from Marley were still raw, and I selfishly wallowed in them. "I know." He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"Vulnera Sanentur." I spoke it softly, watching the word heal and gashes disappear into faded scars.
Regulus stared at me in bewilderment, his lips fallen open in awe. I felt myself blush. "Please, please don't tell anyone I can do that." I begged in a whisper.
His eyes bore into mine, his wet and red and glassy. "As long as you don't tell anyone I used an unforgivable." His voice was hoarse, no doubt from his screams of pain.
"How did you find me?'' He asked suddenly.
"I heard you." I said softly. His eyes widened. "That's not possible, I used muffliato, I'm no novice at charms."
"I know, you've earned the reputation as brightest of your year.'' He's a year below myself but i know what hes capable of, everyone does, plus I'm in the Slug club with him.
His eyes narrowed into slits in suspicion. "Not possible…"
"Well I heard you." I pointed out before inspecting His slender arm. "I understand, maybe that's why…maybe I heard you when no one else has or will because…I used to…"
His eyes searched me. "Go on." He urged.
Surprisingly I did, I couldn't stop myself tonight. "I used to burn my thighs…with enchantments, I can make my fingers hot enough to do it..smelling my burning flesh satisfied me like it was confirmation or something…"
I couldn't look at him as I said it.
"Why?" His voice was pained, I saw his hands reach, but I don't know for what. "Why would you ever do that to yourself?"
"Same as you, pain I couldn't possibly expose…" I swallowed salty tears and took a deep breath. "I missed Wales so much that first time, when…well, this woman would watch me while my parents were at work. She never paid attention to Tuney, my sister…just me. Always touching my hair, telling me how pretty it is, how pretty my eyes are, she liked giving me baths too much." It physically pain me to say this. I risked a look at Regulus, his expression horrified as if he knew what I was going to say. "Lily…"
I took a deep breath. "She did it all the time, touched me all the time. Guilted me saying my parents can't afford most sitters, she's the cheapest one…if I told them they'd feel like horrible parents. So I didn't say anything…" I choked out the last word. "Tuney was supposed to be at her friend Kim's, but she forgot her roller skates. She walked in on me on the couch, my knickers around my ankles…she was on top of me." I felt myself crumple just remembering it. Suddenly Regulus gathered me in his arms , I felt too clogged to cry. "I begged her not to tell mum and dad, she didn't but we had to get rid of her. " I looked up at him "Petunia told her if she ever returned she'd tell the police. We never saw her again but Regulus, I wish we told the police." I sobbed out.
"Oh Lily…" somehow, the sound of his voice, his long, dexterous fingers stroking my hair, and the smell of him calmed me. He smells like wintergreen, rose geraniums likd my Nain grows in her garden, and freshly fallen snow. I rubbed my nose into his jumper further. I balled my fists in the cable knit material that he no doubt spent galleons on, only to have the tears of a poor Muggle-born dampening it.
But he seemed to not mind, his lanky arms enveloped around me pulling me closer, making me feel warm and safe when I should be comforting him. "I hate…hate my life so much. My parents make it very clear that they never wanted children, that the purpose of having Sirius and I was only to prolong the noble house of Black." He sneered. "One toe out of line, any inkling of disappointment…you think this is my first time I felt the white hot pain of crucio? Mother has done it so many times its almost her way of giving a maternal kiss on the cheek." He spat.
My mouth fell open in horror to know a mother was capable of something so…evil.
I felt his body shake as he held back a violent sob. "Regulus…" I had forgotten all about my pain, looking up at this beautiful boy in so much anguish, I lifted my head and gently, slipped my fingers up his jaw, cupping his face gingerly. Our foreheads pressed together, his prominent nose brushing against my smaller one. His tears and mine dripped onto one another's skin. I took a deep, shaky breath. "You don't have to–"
"No, you shared your tale…you deserve to hear mine--y-you're the only one...who deserves…" I blinked back tears as he struggled to get the words out. I tenderly stroked his cheek with my thumb to wipe away the falling diamonds of tears. I licked my lips because the salty drops spilled onto my mouth, we were that close and Regulus seemed to notice. His eyes flickered to my mouth before looking down into my eyes. "I don't blame Sirius for leaving me behind. I'm angry at him for it, so angry that it consumes me as I watch him move on with a new family leaving me behind to deal with them." He hissed as more tears spilled. I wondered if Sirius was aware of his brother all alone and left behind. I felt angry for Regulus, this boy I hardly know but empathize with bone deep.
"But I don't blame him because…because I saw" he choked out. "I saw what my father did to him." I furrowed my brows in confusion, my lips parted. His eyes fell to my lips again and he parted his.
"Make me forget Lily, make us forget." He begged his ghostly verdant eyes pleading in desperation and distressed beseeching.
"What do you mean–" he cut me off with a desperate kiss, his mouth on mine so desperate it was almost violent in its mission.
It was the strangest thing but I felt like I could breathe again, as I inhaled this boy, as he swallowed me whole in the process of consuming me. I ached suddenly for something I've never had, his lips were bruising mine despite them being so soft. I tasted sweet spearmint on his tongue, and although it was slow it didn't make the kiss any less demanding.
His large hands grasped my hips and held my lower back, his fingertips brushed beneath my blouse, eagerly stroking my skin and I shivered violently. I moaned as he had me on my back and suddenly he was on top of me but it felt like he was everywhere all at once. His teeth gnashed on my lower lip, tearing at the skin releasing oozing red blood staining my teeth and spilling into his mouth. He moaned loudly and it was muffled by our starving mouth. I felt inhuman like some wolf-girl, sucking my own blood off of his tongue with ravenous behavior. I liked it, no, loved tasting myself on him, I did something to me.
I squeaked into his mouth as his large hands sank into my leggings to cup, possess, grope, my backside. I was too inspirit to feel my usual lack of confidence with my bum, it's known to be ample and I hated it. But The way Regulus almost painfully grasped and fondled it, while using it to leverage me closer to his body, convinced me he didn't mind in the least. I felt light headed, dizzy, like I my consciousness was fading and my breath was robbed from me. With a gasp from us both, he tore his mouth from mine panting heavily, looking feral, his eyes as wild as his curls that were usually tamed and slicked back. He looked like a man on the verge of what… I do not know..
He released my backside reluctantly, now palming my buxom breasts through my oversized blouse. His nostrils flared and he kissed my neck emitting a squeal from me, going right for my weakness, straight to my Achilles heel. I made the most embarrassing of moans as his tongue, teeth, and lips made a meal of my poor sensitive neck. My eyes rolled back and he murmured almost in tears against my skin. "Merlin, you smell so good. Why do you smell so good?" He begged.
I couldn't give him an answer, I didn't know or understand. I just tugged in his Apollonian ringlets with another pathetic cry from my lips as I felt his teeth clamp down on my flesh as if he were a vampire and not Regulus. He made me feel desired and wanton when I wasn't, making me forget the ugly characters of my supposed childhood, replacing my thoughts, my senses with just him.
Suddenly, he had ripped my blouse off, the loud clatter of buttons hitting the wood made me painfully aware that my breasts were no longer hidden and that there was something hard and large pressing into my inner thigh. I've never done anything with boys before, James Potter was the first boy I felt attracted to and thought of when alone. I usually feel attracted to girls more, soft, pretty girls and hard handsome girls. But when I pushed my hand beneath his thick jumper, and I slid my hand up his flat stomach, stealing a shiver from his throat, and there were no peaks, no breasts blossoming there, but flat plains of pectorals. It piqued my sexual curiosity. "Oh…" I made a soft sound of wonderment. "I've never….not with a boy…"
He looked down at me, his angelic curls falling in his statuesque face,a thick and beautifully arched brow bent elegantly up in an intrigue arch before a soft, rakish smile stretched across his mouth attractively. Was it strange to find it pairing so nicely with his bloodshot eyes? Scarlet veins appeared from the result of bloodcurdling sobs…just like me. "I've never been with a girl before…" he gently brushed my blouse off my shoulders, the crisp October Scottish night kissed my skin, leaving behind paths of goosebumps. My sun-kissed color of summer is fading away into my peaches and cream complexion. His gaze hungrily gobbled up the sight of my exposed flesh, eating the appearance of my large breasts that never are bound by a bra. He grasped them, his breath tickling them causing my rosy nipples to harden and pebble. "So perky and…" he squeezed, ripping a gasp from me. "Soft." The word disappeared in my bust, his soft, wet mouth buried my cleavage. I wrapped my legs around his waist rocking my hips against his, our groins rubbing eagerly together in desperation. His pink tongue licked around my breasts, sucking now as if he were starving for months. He rutted into my clothed center. I heard a tear and looked down to see where his hidden hardness was, the material of his trousers now had an obvious rip and revealed the gray of his briefs.
But I didn't have much time to look, I cried out his name when he suckled my nipple into his wet, hot mouth as he twisted the other. The pain that had me cry out turned into a euphoric sensation that reached my core. He switched his mouth to the other, his teeth clamped down on my sensitive buds and I let out a sob of a mix between pleasure and pain. I rolled my hips feeling such intense throbbing and electricity betwixt my thighs.
"Oh, oh, oh!" I couldn't even form words.
"No!" He growled and before knew it he flipped me over, onto my stomach. "Not yet, you're not going to cum yet." He pulled up my hips so that my arse was in the air and with his bare hands, he ripped open my leggings revealing my lack of knickers. I could feel my click dripping down my folds down my inner thighs and I heard him whine, actually whine, fuck it was so hot. "Merlin, you're dripping, you're actually dripping." I gasped with a cry feeling two long fingers one with a ring, rubbing and swiping against my slobbering bits.
"Hngh!" My tongue lulled out of my mouth, I was drooling and my eyes rolled back.
Regulus gripped my backside and spread my cheeks before burying his tongue inside of me. "Fuck!" I whined. With that he penetrated his tongue deeper inside of me, wiggling it around inside of me. I grasped for something anything to hold on to as he sucked my labia inside of his mouth, slurping lewdly. My breasts scraped against the floor as I screamed in wild abandon. I felt like a maenad at a bacchanal, participating in hedonistic rituals to please her God. My very own Dionysos was drinking and slurping my essence like it was the wine of the Gods. Not even. Marlene ate me out with this much enthusiasm, he was going so fast. I felt his aquiline nose nudge inside of me and his teeth grazed my bundle of nerves. "Fuck, i-i can't!" I choked out.
He rolled my clit around in his mouth and I was begging in a language I didn't understand and neither did he, it was informable words after all. My eyes crossed and he didn't stop torturing my bud as he sank two ring-wrapped fingers knuckle deep inside of me. He went right for it, pounding deeper and and deeper hitting my spot, his fingertips grazing that spot aggressively almost painful. "Ow-ugh-yes! Yes! YES! PLEASE!" I begged. I was actually begging for his permission like my pleasure wasn't mine, but completely his. It felt so nice to have someone else responsible for me.
"I'm going to let you cum Lily, you know?" His voice was soft but had an edge to it, like he was doing everything in his power to restrain himself. "Because you deserve to feel good for once, we deserve to feel good for once." He hissed, angry for us, someone was angry for me. He grasped my throat with his other hand, the cold metal of his rings hit my throat and he squeezed gently. My heart raced as his other pair of fingers pounded faster inside of me as he rubbed every part of me down there. With his grasp on my throat he forced me to look up at him. I stared up at his intense expression, high on the emotional rollercoaster of the night and the pleasure of this moment, intoxicated by him. "Open."
I knew he meant my mouth and I did so. "Such a smart girl." He gently squeezed my throat and I fluttered around him, squeezing his fingers at his gentle praise. He hovered his mouth over mine and dripped his spit into my mouth. I swallowed and he brushed his lips against my ear. "Cum." As if I was imperio'd, I released on command, flooding his fingers. It was like a spillage, a waterfall, so much spilled I could hear it make a mess on the floor.
I collapsed, falling into the comfort of darkness.
