i don't care | Laurie Laurence
Tumblr media
════════════════════════════════════════════
Inside one of the rooms of the march residence lay the feverish body of one of the sisters, to be specific, (y/n) March.
the girl might have contracted an illness due to the strain she had been under in recent days. for a moment, her sisters and mother were terrified that perhaps (y/n) had contracted scarlet fever, but luckily that wasn't the case. although she was taken care of by everyone, (y/n) didn't agree with being looked after. it's not that she was stubborn (or maybe she was), she just didn't want her sisters to stop attending to their activities to take care of her.
lying on the bed with both arms behind her head, resting on the pillow, and with a thick blanket covering her from the waist down.
trying to rest for the umpteenth time. but this time (y/n) managed to close her eyes completely.
but suddenly, soft knocks sounded behind the door. (y/n) reluctantly turned her head towards the door. as no one entered or even asked, she rolled her eyes, closed them again, but... the knocks sounded again.
—Jo, if it's you, don't worry, I'm fine, okay? —(y/n) spoke hoarsely.
no one responded.
—Jo? —(y/n) asked without even looking, as she didn't even have her eyes open due to the exhaustion she was feeling.
the sound of the door being opened, along with the echo of boots resonating on the wooden floorboards, filled the room. the small "creak" of the door closing gently was all that could be heard, as if the person entering the room wanted to make as little noise as possible, but the sound of their boots on the wood gave them away. (y/n), who still had her eyes closed, could hear every step, softly echoing in the room, approaching. Until at one moment, they stopped, and (y/n) felt the weight of someone sitting down beside her bed.
opening her eyes slightly and trying to visualize who it was, although at first everything seemed blurry, (y/n) gradually began to recognize the facial features of that person.
—Laurie? —she asked, astonished, as the person smiled gently.
—What are you doing here? —she asked, confused, but with a noticeable discreet smile.
—Jo told me you were in bed, so since everyone had their turn to visit you, I felt like now it was my turn to do so, —Laurie joked, eliciting a small smile from (y/n).
—But putting that aside, how are you feeling? —he asked, changing the subject.
—Do you really want to know? —(y/n) asked, as Laurie nodded in response.
—Terribly indebted to them, —(y/n) blurted out, making Laurie laugh. —You should have seen them coming in and out of the room. I couldn't sleep with the sound of their shoes echoing on the floor, the door opening and closing, and please don't make me remember the sound of their desperate voices. for a moment, I felt like I was dying, —(h/c) laughed, while feeling Laurie rub her hand over the arm that was extended behind (y/n)'s head..
—But amidst all the chaos you're telling me, I see that you're doing well, —he said, rested her hand on the other end of the bed, beside the girl's body.
—Tell my sisters, —said (y/n), placing her arm over her eyes.
at that moment, a small silence filled the room, but oddly enough, it wasn't uncomfortable as some might have expected.
however, that silence and atmosphere were interrupted when (y/n) felt fingers glide over her cheek, the thumb tracing her cheekbone delicately. this caught (y/n)'s attention, causing her to remove her arm from her eyes.
—What are you doing?— she asked
—I'm looking at you, —Laurie joked.
—How silly, —(y/n) murmured, although she regretted it a bit when she noticed Laurie's sudden serious expression, with his head pointing towards the ground. With some effort, she managed to sit up at least, placing her hand on Laurie's shoulder to get his attention. —I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...—
—Don't worry, —Laurie interrupted, —it's not that —he murmured softly at the end.
—Then what is it? —(y/n) asked, confused.
with that, Laurie let out a long sigh that (y/n) could hear. she watched as he turned his gaze towards her. suddenly, Laurie shifted on the bed and slowly extended his hands, taking (y/n)'s hands in his. this gesture made (y/n) nervous due to Laurie's sudden actions.
—(y/n)...— he began, but the realization dawned on (y/n) about what Laurie might say.
—Laurie, no... don't do it, —interrupted with a disappointed voice, pulling her hands away from his.
—What? Why? —Laurie murmured, trying to take (y/n)'s hands again, but she kept them out of his reach.
—Because I know you love Jo, —(y/n) affirmed, noticing Laurie's surprised expression. —I know, —she murmured at the end.
(y/n) turned her gaze away, avoiding Laurie's eyes, while all he did was take the girl's hand again.
—Please, (y/n), please listen —Laurie murmured as he gently caressed her hand. —You're right, I love Jo... but the love I feel for you is different, —he affirmed with determination. With his other hand, he gently held (y/n)'s chin, turning it so their gazes met.
laurie noticed how tiny tears streamed down (y/n)'s cheek. tenderly, he slid his thumb over her eyes, wiping away every trace of sadness he found.
—I mean it, —he murmured. —Why don't you believe me?—
(y/n) shook her head.
—I don't know, —she said between sobs.
—then let me show you. Let me show you that I'm serious, —he murmured, moving closer to she, their faces just inches apart.
laurie, being so close, could feel the warmth emanating from her. he could have joked that perhaps was embarrassed by the moment, but he chose to remain silent, not wanting to ruin the moment.
laurie tenderly held (y/n)'s face in his hands and began to kiss her gently. he started on her cheek, then moved up to her temple and placed another kiss, moving on to her forehead and then to the other cheek. as he did so, he noticed (y/n) starting to giggle. emboldened by the joy of the moment, laurie ventured to give her a sudden kiss on the tip of her nose, eliciting even more laughter and a warm feeling in his heart.
however, at one point, laurie stopped, fixing his gaze on a place he hadn't kissed yet.
(y/n) noticed and warned him.
—If you get sick, Laurie, I'm not going to take care of you —she said, staying just inches away from him.
laurie could only smile as he let his lips meet hers. In that moment, it didn't matter if he couldn't get up tomorrow. All that mattered to him in that moment was what they were sharing.
they both pulled away in search of air, although they kept their foreheads together. In that small space between them, the rapid beating of their hearts resonate like a shared echo of intense emotions.
—i don't care —murmured laurie.

↳ Note: I made this little one-shot a long time ago and I never could finish it, I always had it as a draft. Also, I saw that the theme of the 'little women' had already gone out of style. So, I didn't want to upload it.now i want to cry ↳ p.s: I just noticed that this has a lot of (y/n) and a lot of Laurie. :D I'll try to improve and not to put so much (y/n).

The Voice | Paul Atreides
Tumblr media
════════════════════════════════════════════
Paul and Chani, along with Lady Jessica, were camping in the vast desert of Arrakis, surrounded by golden dunes and the eternal silence that characterizes that arid and desolate world. In the afternoon, as the three of them were in the tent, they were suddenly startled by joyful shouts and laughter echoing in the distance.
Alerted by the noise, they stepped out of the tent and found several Fremen, desert natives, waving their arms in the air with expressions of happiness directed towards a figure standing not far away. Among them stood a young woman unfamiliar to Paul and Lady Jessica, but not to Chani.
Chani, with a smile on her face, joined in the joy of the Fremen, while Paul and Lady Jessica watched with confusion. They didn't understand what was happening, but they could still feel the joy radiating from the group.
When she finally reached the group, the Fremen surrounded her with joy and warm hugs, while that person received those gestures with affection. Paul observed how Chani wrapped her arms around that person, not wanting to let go. Paul understood how that person had somehow managed to connect with the very essence of the desert and its people.
—you must be exhausted from the journey. why don't you rest?— Chani suggested, catching the attention of Paul and Jessica.
—Yeah, maybe a little rest sounds good —she replied, following chani.
As they approached the tent, Paul and Jessica called out to them, grabbing both their attention.
—I'm sorry, the excitement of the moment almost made me forget —chani smiled, while the girl also smiled. —(y/n), these are lady jessica and paul atreides —chani introduced them, —they are one of us.
from his position, paul watched (y/n) attentively as she removed her cloak, revealing sparkling eyes and a serene presence that took his breath away. her (h/c) hair gently waving in the desert breeze.
—It's an honor to meet you, (y/n), —Lady Jessica speak.
—A pleasure to meet you —Paul said.
(y/n) responded with a respectful nod.
—The honor and pleasure are all mine, Lady Jessica, —she said, looking at the named person and then moving her look to the young man, —Paul.
Paul, surprised, looked up at her in disbelief. Lately, he had been dreaming of a similar voice calling out his name.
a voice that was now in front of him.
