Anna stopped her walk as soon as she hear the stranger call, her eyes widened and she hurried in her backpack to search for something. Ah bandages was a bit too much, and “Ah-HAH!” she exclaimed taking a bandaid with snowflakes out. She hurried her way and sat besides the brunette, “Sure thing, are you alright? Here there’s one, and maybe a little of gel just in case …to disinfect?” Anna asked before offering from her gel bottle. 
Tumblr media
cass paused at the enthusiasm her request had been met with - she’d expected to be ignored, or a no, to be frank. a brief handover of a bandaid, if she was lucky. now she’s got company. “... i think just the bandaid is fine. it’s a needle, not a knife. not like i’m dying or anything,” she replied, taking the bandaid and ignoring the gel out of stubbornness, mostly. “thanks. i guess. why’re you carrying around disinfectant anyway?” she continued, watching the girl out of the corner of her eye as she applied the bandaid (and begrudgingly acknowledged, if only to herself, that the snowflakes were sort of cute).

Tumblr media
“oh, i’d love to fight a dragon,” cass breathed, her eyes lighting up in that particular way they did at the prospect of a fight. fuck, it’d been a while since she’d had a real fight, wasn’t it? “but i reckon if any were here and it was a problem we’d know about it by now. the monster thing wasn’t exactly subtle,” she continued with a sigh, trying not to be disappointed the town wasn’t being actively destroyed. kept her from worrying about being exiled from corona because reagan’s dad heard she’d gotten a scratch, at least. she rolled her eyes at her friend’s innocent look, unable to help her lips twitching up into a fond smile. “i’d gone at least twenty years without being able to recognise taylor swift lyrics before i met you. look what you’ve done to me. hope your proud of yourself,” she replied, poking at reagan playfully with an accusing finger.

“shit,” cass hissed, as the needle stabbed right through the fabric and into her finger. probably her fault, because she was probably (definitely) embroidering too aggressively. it wasn’t even the first time she’d stabbed herself, but it was the first time she’d drawn blood. great. “hey, you gotta bandaid or something? i don’t want to bleed on this thing any more than i have to.”

cass spared a moment to give the guy a once over and conclude that, yes, he did look rich enough that she really didn’t care about taking money from him. “sure. that’d be great. i don’t care what it is, as long as it isn’t one of those sugary monstrosities,” she responded, giving him a close-lipped smile that at least managed to lean more towards appreciative than judgemental. “word of advice - helping out is a lot better than platitudes. you know that, right?”

❄️ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ───────────  the   transition   between   friends   and   girlfriends   had   been   seamless.   the   only   thing   that   seemed   to   shift   was   the   new   title   they   both   held.   the   feelings   that   elsa   had   for   cassandra   had   really   only   intensified.   she   was   content   in   this   little   bubble   they   had   made   over   the   years.   the   dance   they   tangoed   along   the   line   of   ��what   are   we’   finally   ended   with   roses.   it’s   not   that   elsa   had   a   need   to   label   anything.   she   was   content   with   just   having   cass   in   her   life.   however,   the   rush   she   felt   anytime   she   called   cassandra   her   girlfriend   was   truly   unmeasurable.   it   was   like   sitting   under   the   sun   on   a   warm   spring   day.   for   someone   who   lived   in   the   cold   and   loved   it   the   feeling   was   very   inviting.   the   queen   could   almost   see   herself   making   a   home   in   it.
elsa   never   thought   she’d   find   peace   in   such   mundane   activities   such   as   lazily   lying   in   bed   waiting   for   her   lover   to   return.   it   was   a   luxury   she   had   never   had   nor   allowed   herself   to   have.   there   was   so   much   resting   on   her   shoulders   but   here   in   the   afterglow   with   cassandra   she   could   just   be   elsa.   not   the   queen   of   arendelle,   not   the   woman   with   ice   powers,   just   elsa   which   was   something   she   had   not   been   in   quite   some   time   without   fear   creeping   in.   
“   is   both   an   option   ?   ”      the   queen   asked,   a   blush   staining   her   cheeks.   she   feigned   a   look   of   innocence   as   she   sat   up   a   little   straighter.      “   there   was   nothing   particularly   interesting   happening   today   ?   ”      it   always   seemed   there   was   an   adventure   to   be   had   in   elias.   elsa   felt   herself   melt   at   her   girlfriend’s   touch,   happily   returning   the   kiss.      “   good   morning,   my   love.   ”   she   mused,   dazed   and   happy.
Tumblr media
🗡️
“for you? everything’s an option.” cass replied, with an uncomfortable amount of sincerity. that’s just the way it was with elsa, though. at some point, she’d stopped being surprised by how easy it was to be genuine.
she huffed a laugh, rolling her eyes fondly at the question. “i think you think my life is way more exciting than it actually is,” she said while racking her brain for something interesting to share. “that one guy is still glaring at me whenever i pass him while jogging, though. i dunno what his deal is but i’m starting to wonder how much i could annoy him before he breaks and actually cusses me out.”
her whole body softened at the words ‘my love’, cheeks warming and smile fond. elsa said it so easily, was the thing. that hadn’t stopped surprising her. she shifted to hold elsa’s undoubtedly cold hands, lifting one of them to press a kiss to the back of it, before wrapping her fingers around them in an attempt to warm them. “also,” she continued after a moment, when the blushing felt a little less like schoolgirl crush territory, “i think me and victoria are getting less awkward. hey - does she have a nickname or something? it feels weird to just call her victoria. kinda formal.” she was pretty sure the only person she regularly spoke to that she call by their full name was, like, eugene.

         despite the slight awkwardness  in  the  air ,  victoria  made  a  conscious  effort  to  stay  focused  on  her  tea  rather  than  the  many  other  things  that  made  her  want  to  scream .  for  instance ,  her  lack  of  faith  in  her  ability  to  entertain  a  guest  such  as  cassandra ,  the  fact  that  she  had  no  idea  where  elsa  was ,  and  the  constant  effort  to  make  sure  her  sleeves  were  covering  her  mangled  arms .  in  any  case ,  she  thought  she'd  been  doing  a  decent  job  so  far  —  until  her  guest  spoke  up .  ❛ hmm ? ❜  the  blonde  asked ,  looking  up  from  her  teacup .  it  was  an  unexpected  question  but ,  all  things  considered ,  she  knew  it  would  come  sooner  or  later .  it  simply  wasn't  in  her  place  to  start  the  conversation .  shaking  her  head  lightly ,  victoria  spoke  up .   ❛ not  at  all ,  i  think  you're  pleasant  company . ❜  even  if  the  two  women  had  done  nothing  but  sit  in  silence .  it  was  better  than  to  be  seated  with  barkis  bittern ,  for  example .  ❛ why  do  you  ask ?  i  hope  i  haven't  made  you  uncomfortable  in  some  way ,  it  really  wasn't  my  intention …. ❜
Tumblr media
🗡️
the sardonic eyebrow raise was more instinct than intention, though cass likely wouldn’t have held it back if it wasn’t. pleasant company wasn’t a new one, exactly, but it certainly wasn’t a common thing to say to her genuinely. it put her in mind of tittering noblewomen looking down their noses at her. or eugene, maybe. ugh. victoria didn’t seem sarcastic, though. so. there was that. “you’re fine,” she drawled in assurance. she bounced her combat boots against the leg of the chair she was seated in for a moment. probably because she was some kind of masochist, stretching the weird silence out. should she have taken her shoes off? fucking hell. “i ask ‘cause this is awkward as fuck. and we’ve kinda just been sitting in silence,” she answered, having apparently decided that charging in headlong was the best way to muscle through the aforementioned awkwardness. “anyway, if i’m gonna spend time here, i figure i should check in with the other person who lives here. know where we stand, or get to know you, whatever,” she added with a shrug.

the risk with getting comfortable enough at elsa’s place was that, when she showed up uninvited, there was a chance elsa wasn’t actually there. somehow, she’d found herself invited inside anyway, in the hope that elsa would show up sooner rather than later. because now it just felt like she was in someone else’s home. at least it was bigger than her shoebox apartment? “hey. victoria,” cass called from her seat at the kitchen counter, wincing internally at the twinge of awkwardness. victoria felt too formal, but cass wasn’t entirely sure of the nickname situation - maybe she was just cool with a long first name, no shortening required. maybe she had a hundred nicknames currently unknown to cass. either way, victoria seemed safe enough. especially when she wasn’t sure they were even friends, really. “me being here. does it bother you?”

☀️ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ───────────   she   let   out   a   content   sigh   at   the   reassuring   squeeze.   cass   always   knew   how   to   comfort   her.   “   well,   i’m   his   mom,   so   yeah!   i   do   think   he’s   an   angel.   he’s   my   angel.   ”      reagan   didn’t   know   what   she   wanted   after   she   had   finally   seen   the   lights.   her   new   dream   took   her   by   surprise   by   manifesting   into   her   son.   ben   was   a   shock   but   one   reagan   was   grateful   for.   becoming   his   mother   had   been   one   of   the   greatest   adventures   she   had   gone   on.   
reagan   felt   a   heaviness   in   her   heart   as   cassandra   spoke.   she   squeezed   her   friend’s   hands   tight   as   she   searched   for   the   words   to   say.   reagan   was   a   fixer   in   a   sense.   if   someone   was   upset   she   wanted   to   make   them   happy   even   if   it   was   at   her   expense.   beckham   was   upset   and   reagan   wanted   to   reverse   any   hurt   she   had   given   him.      “   he   thinks   eugene   is   replacing   him   but   he’s   ben’s   dad.   he   can’t   ever   be   replaced.   i   just-   ”   she   looked   down   feeling   emotions   tighten   her   throat.      “   i   just   want   to   be   happy   with   eugene   without   feeling   guilty.   ”
Tumblr media
🗡️
cass didn’t point out that even if eugene was replacing him, that was still beckham’s fault for not sticking around. it wouldn’t help. and she was self-aware enough to know she might be projecting a little, which reagan didn’t need. instead she listened, and thought, and gave advice as best she could. same way she’d always done.
“i know,” she acknowledged softly. “tell him that.” she paused, studying reagan a moment longer before continuing, “but there’s only so much you can do. and you can’t always fix things, raps. at a certain point, it’s up to him.” in cass’ opinion, reagan definitely wasn’t the one who needed to fix things here, but that wasn’t the point right now. she’d already made that plenty clear, anyway. she let the words linger, hoping they might actually sink in.
then she ducked her head a little to catch reagan’s eye, the hint of a smile gracing her features once more. “hell, tell him i’ll replace him as ben’s dad if he doesn’t get his head out of his ass. since anyone in your vicinity is apparently gunning for the position,” she joked, still a little gentle but with a lightness returning to her words.

as the bag was snatched from her, meg held her arms up in a lazy surrender, chuckling. “ you breathin’ easier now ? and, hey, even if i was a thief, your rustics aren’t really my thing. so you’re safe. ” at the ‘thank you’, meg bowed her head with a flourish of her hand. “ probably halfway through maiming someone with that knife. are you a hunter or something ? ”
Tumblr media
🗡️
“if i was, rest assured that they’d probably deserve it,” she replied, because saying ‘you don’t need a knife to maim someone’ was fucked up and she wasn’t actually trying to be all that intimidating. she frowned at the question, considering. she knew how to hunt, but she didn’t do it all that often, so it was hard to really call her a hunter. “kind of. not really. it was a gift,” is what she settled on, because saying ‘i’m a collector’ was probably also going to be unsettling. there really was very little you could say about why you carried a knife that didn’t sound unsettling. time to redirect.
“so, what would you go for, if you were a thief?”

🎃 ⠀  ⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ───────────   jasper   had   always   felt   a   strong   connection   to   the   moon.   one   would   think   with   everything   at   his   disposable   jasper   would   live   a   fulfilled   life.   yet   having   everything   left   him   feeling   empty.   his   true   desires   were   never   quenched.   he   was   a   vessel   for   the   wants   and   expectations   of   not   only   his   parents   but   and   entire   town   who   once   viewed   him   as   gold.   prior   to   meeting   zeke   and   serena   his   only   companion   was   the   moon   that   shone   above   him   each   night   as   he   sat   atop   the   spiral   hill   in   the   cemetery.   the   moon   never   judged   nor   did   she   want   anything   from   him.   she   only   emitted   her   warmth   and   reminded   jasper   that   he   wasn’t   alone.   
even   know   with   the   world   feeling   like   it   was   caving   in   on   him   the   skeleton   had   some   semblance   of   peace   as   he   stared   at   his   oldest   friend.   
“   you   think   she’d   have   company   among   the   stars.   they’re   always   around.   that’s   true.   i   wonder   how   she   feels   about   that   fact.   ”
Tumblr media
🗡️
cass shrugged. “i guess. being around doesn’t always mean shit, though.” she was trying not to get too metaphorical and philosophical and whatever other -ical this guy is leaning towards. nonetheless, it’s hard to parse how she feels about that - the stars as company. it’s never really seemed that way. stars were too far away. too different. really, you could probably spin whatever meaning you wanted out of any celestial body you felt like staring at, if you were feeling deep enough, and the moon was no exception.
she doesn’t point that out, instead shifting her gaze from the moon to the person she was talking to. screw it, she’s feeling pensive. and curious. “well, how do you feel about it? since you’re fixated on the thing.”

cass was a morning person by discipline if not by nature - her father’s military leanings and her own stubborn training schedule had seen to that. and then the busywork she’d been given around the castle, which was better to get done sooner than later if she wanted to avoid mrs. crowley’s scowls.
that discipline meant that, whether she was waking up beside elsa or not, she had a morning routine to stick to. at least now it sometimes started with untangling from her girlfriend.
becoming official, as it were, didn’t feel much different from what they’d been doing before. for cass, it felt more like they’d just affirmed something which had been true for a while - that this thing between them had been growing like a creeping frost, whether they’d named it or not.
it also didn’t mean running into victoria on her way back to elsa’s bedroom was any less awkward. victoria was sweet, but still. alas, if you want the rewards of spending mornings with your girlfriend, sometimes you have to go through the mortifying ordeal of running into her roommate in the hallway.
“do you actually want to know? or are you just hoping i’ll flex for you?” she replied as she entered, narrowing her eyes in a playful faux suspicion. she circled around to set the mugs she’d brought with her down on the bedside table before giving a proper answer. “it was alright. same as always,” she shrugged, reaching out to cup elsa’s face in warm hands and press a kiss to her forehead, and then her lips. “good morning,” she murmured in a gentle, belated greeting.

eyes narrowed at her words as flynn considered the answer to her question. did it have to include him ? well, if it didn’t, that would make this interaction very short … but he had a feeling that she wouldn’t mind something like that. “ideally it would, but - if you’d rather go find misery elsewhere, i can go find reagan. she’s probably due for a break at work, anyway. ” honesty was likely the best policy with cass.
“ why ? do you have plans with … anyone else ? ”
Tumblr media
🗡️
“you'd do that for me? i'd much rather find misery with reagan!” cass replied, dramatically clasping her hands over her heart, all exaggerated enthusiasm for a moment.
“clearly not,” she answered, quickly moving on before eugene got it in his head to start digging into her personal life in a way she definitely wouldn’t like. “alright. if anything includes you, then… i don't know. going for a trail ride. rigged games at the boardwalk. wandering around until we drive each other crazy. or we could try sparring, but that seems like it would go downhill pretty fast.”

“a knife among other shit. how rustic.” she arched an eyebrow, keeping the bag close to her chest. “true, but in the end i’m just a kind stranger standing in front of a difficult stranger, trying to give them back their stuff.” she held the bag forward an inch. “some might even say thank you.”
🗡️
“that's me. rustic,” cass drawled, valiantly not rolling her eyes. “you're a stranger holding my stuff, i can be as difficult as i want,” she countered as she grabbed her bag back, opening it to double check her stuff was still there. “thank you,” she replied once satisfied, still with a veneer of sarcasm, but leaning more towards playful than hostile now. “where would i be without good samaritans like you?”
