Well in that case, i have new request for u and thank u for writing previous. Poppy and mc are in a relationship and its poppy's birthday, so mc surprises her by taking her to spend time with her dad Art like in story poppy memtioned in letters that how much she wanted to meet him but cant bcz of piers. Please keep twin out of it like there are no twins. Thanks in advance. You are great.

I had this started but never finished. I had to practically dust off my idea journal to jog my memory. (I am being a little dramatic) I tried to do a quick edit so sorry for any mistakes cuties. Sorry for being awol again.

Happy Birthday

Poppy could feel the migraine beating against her head. Each surge of pain, only made her angrier. All the Zetas in the meeting felt like they were playing catch with a bomb, one wrong move, and everyone was dead.

“For bid day on Friday, we thought the theme could be Wizard of Oz because there is no place like Zeta.” Ohio clicked to her next slide with a picture of the Zeta house with a yellow brick road leading up to the front steps. Listening to all the girls get giddy about the theme only made her migraine worse.

“Everyone, could you shut up! I don’t want to sit through any more presentations so Ohio you are in luck. You, Chloe, Hayley, and Taylor will work on bid day. If you all fuck this up you can pack your bags.” Poppy hit the gavel against the table and got up to go to her room. “Meeting adjourned.”

She pulled out her phone to text Bea to see if she wanted to hang out. Her migraines made her feel clingy. All she wanted was to be cuddled in bed with her girlfriend.  Since dating Bea some say she had softened and lost her touch. It wasn’t that she lost her touch, she just wasn’t as angry anymore. Poppy no longer had to hide a huge part of herself anymore. She could finally be free to be herself. Her parents weren’t always on the same page, but it was time to live for herself not them. Even though they weren’t excited about her newfound partner, Bea Hughes, as long as she stayed number one her parents were satisfied. She needed to keep her position as head bitch in charge, no one would dare to take it from her either.

Hughes

Want to come over and keep me company?

I have a headache and need attention.

Sorry BB I have to help Zoey with her

setlist for Lil Nos F. After though I will

swing and give you some world famous

Bea Hughes cuddles. 

She threw her phone onto her bed. Her migraine needed to be gone and fast. It seemed like the perfect time to hit up her favorite tea place to help with her migraine. She changed into some more casual clothes and pulled out her jewelry box. She grabbed her favorite necklace Bea got her around the time they started dating. She admired the pink poppy in the middle with the black center. She looked at the bottom of the jewelry box and contemplated for a moment. After putting on the necklace she went over to her door to make sure it was locked and sat on her bed. She pulled up the false bottom of the box. Pulling out a stack of letters she went through the letters she never sent to Art Nakamara.

It had only been four months since she found out the truth about her family. She was home for the weekend for some business event she didn’t care about.

Piers was trying to impress a mogul from another company and he needed his token family to parade around to make himself seem perfect. Poppy had on one of her favorite pink dresses that was customized just for her. She was forced to talk to the mogul’s son Harrison.

“We were out on the lake for like a month. It was a great time, it would have been better if you were there in a bikini.” Harrison moved closer to Poppy to put his arm around her. He smelled like strong leather and tobacco. 

“I’m allergic to water, sorry.” Poppy got from under his arm, eyes stinging from the cologne. She practically sprinted to the bar, she needed a shot of anything right away. “Hit me with a shot of anything.” The bartender slid her a glass with clear liquid and before he had time to turn Poppy downed it. It was smooth, but burned like hell going down, just what she needed. She turned and was met with her mother.

“Poppy, what are you doing at the bar alone? Where is Harrison? He seems like such a nice single boy. Cute too.”

“He had to go to the restroom. I am sure he has women practically lining up to date him mother. I am however off market. I told him I would meet him at the bar” Poppy wasn’t sure if her mom believed her lie, but she couldn’t really care. Her parents were acting strange, which says a lot because her parents weren’t exactly like most. They haven’t been in contact as often. Weekly phone calls have turned monthly. They haven’t had the easiest time accepting Bea, but she couldn’t continue to live for them she needed to live for herself. Poppy was going to need six more shots to just get through the night.

“Just make sure you are a good hostess to him. We need to make sure the Vanderwald’s leave happy.”

“Yes mother I know. I will make sure he leaves…. Content of course.” Her mother must be out of her mind if she thought she would spend anymore time with that boring ass boy. 

The miscellaneous shots she took were finally kicking in. She pulled out her phone and looked through Instagram. She saw a picture of Bea back at Belvoire. It looked like her and Zoey were in their dorm. Poppy couldn't help but admire her girlfriend. She hated that she had to miss their night to schmooze these boring people. The alcohol she drank gave her a great idea though. She sent a text to Bea and hoped her plan would work.

About an hour later Poppy met Bea and Zoey at the door relieved she had back up now.

“What took you so long?” Poppy was running out of excuses to dodge Harrison all night. Bea enveloped Poppy into a hug.

“We had to get ready. If I am going to be around the Min-Sinclairs I need to look my best.”

“She changed her outfit like four times while freaking out.” Zoey was tired of watching Bea change her outfits back at the door. 

Bea playfully pushed Zoey, “She is lying. It was traffic too.” 

“I am just glad you are here to save me from the annoying Harrison Vanderwald.”

“Oh Yea, the guy that got kicked out of Belvoire for trying to bribe his professors.” Bea had a class with him and remembers him being such a dick.

The night went on with less bumps than the beginning. Harrison found someone else to leech off of in the night. People were finally leaving from the Min-Sinclairs and Poppy could finally take a breath.  

“Thanks for the invite Pops.” Bea enveloped Poppy in her arms.

“Alright you two I will be waiting out in the car. Thanks Min-Sinclair. Bea don’t take forever or I am leaving you.”

“Yea Yea Zoey. I will be out in a second.”  Bea goofily grinned, holding Poppy,excited to be alone with Poppy for the first time tonight. 

“I missed you Popcorn.” Bea kissed her girlfriend. 

“It’s definitely the alcohol making me soft but I missed you too.” They just held each other for a moment until they heard the sound of a stomach grumble. “Hughes have you eaten anything all day?”

“Well we were going to go to get pizza, but I got excited by your message.”

“Bea Hughes choosing me over pizza. You really do care about me.”

“I absolutely do Pops.” Bea places a soft kiss on Poppy’s forehead. Her stomach grumbles even louder this time.

“Alright let’s get you a snack” 

Poppy pulled out one of Bea’s favorite snacks. She had secretly been requesting this snack because eating it always reminds her of Bea. She would rather shave herself bald then tell Bea this.

“Ooh my favorite thanks Poppy.” Bea kissed Poppy’s forehead before indulging in her snack.  Poppy’s heart explodes everytime her girlfriend lightens up. 

After an angry text from Zoey wondering what was taking so long, Poppy and Bea started walking to the closest exit. They heard a whispered argument taking place.

“Ana if this gets out I will be a laughing stock. How could you be so fucking careless. The stock would plumet and then what of the fancy life I have given you.”

“I know, I am sorry. No one knows of this. Not even Poppy. As far as she knows you are her father.”

“Yea no one except me, you and any decent private investigator. I will take care of this like always.”

Poppy and Bea ran to the walk in pantry to avoid Piers from catching them on their accidental eavesdrop. Poppy felt like the air was sucked out of her lungs. She collapsed into Bea’s arm and quietly sobbed. Piers was not her father and her mother kept her from her bio father.

Poppy was lucky to find one private investigator not under Piers thumb. She was given Arts name and found out all she could about him. He was a well loved preschool teacher. He would supportive of his students and even as adults they would come visit him to catch up. Everyone saw his like another parent in their life. She felt robbed for missing our of know her real dad and stuck with Piers. Piers was controlling and not at all affectionate which as a kid made her question her self worth. Bea slowly helped her through her feelings and downfalls. She wishes her girlfriend wasn’t so busy because she could really use her cuddles right about now.

Bea felt bad about lying to her girlfriend but she was trying to desperately figure out what to give someone who has everything for their birthday. She has gone through a thousand ideas all of which she felt were not good/expensive enough for the girl who swiftly stole her heart. She barged into Zoey’s room and threw herself onto her bed.

“Bea what if I were naked. Knock at least next time!” Zoey lectured without even looking up from her laptop.

“I would have closed my eyes. I need some help from that beautiful mind of yours.”

“You are lucky flattery will get your everywhere with me. What’s the problem roomie?”

“I don’t know what to get Poppy for her birthday. I have brainstormed for weeks and came up with diddly squat.” 

“ That’s like picking a gift for Satan themself. Ow watch the laptop” Zoey rubbed her the back of her head that was assaulted with her fluffy pillow.

“Don’t be dramatic that was practically a cloud. Now please help me with this dilemma so I don’t end up sad and single.”

“First of all you are being dramatic and second of alll nothing wrong with because single. Most people will agree you have melted Poppy’s ice princess facade. Even if she doesn’t admit it she loves your ‘from the heart sappy shit you do’.  Just think with that big heart of …” Before Zoey could finish her sentence Bea jumped off her bed and ran out. 

Poppy held Bea’s hand while she drove. She paid attention to the hum of her car and the warmth of her hand. Her hands felt empty without her phone, but Bea insisted on her leaving her phone at the Zeta house. She didn’t need much convincing wearing a blindfold for a surprise. She wasn’t going to show it, but she was just happy to be in Bea’s presence. It was like feeling a calm wash over her mind. She vented about her day and how annoying the Zetas were during the presentations. They drove what felt like hours away from the University.

“Okay Pops I need you to do me a favor. Stay here while I go get something. No peaking or else I will withhold kisses for the next week.”

“Are you even allowed to be so cruel on my birthday?” Bea kissed Poppy quickly before running into the mysterious location. Pops just listened but none of the sounds were out of the ordinary. After about 5 minutes Bea came to Poppy’s door and opened. She helped her out of the car and handed she her favorite tea. 

“Don’t tell me we drove all this way for you to poison me.” She took a sip and recongized it being one of her favorite drinks Matcha. “Hughes I know you did not make us drive all this way for something we could go about 5 minutes from campus to get.”

“Poppy if I wanted to poison you I wouldn’t have done it in somewhere so public. But no it’s not just for the tea we had to come here for you birthday gift. Take of your blindfold.” Poppy took off her blindfold and felt like she recognized where she was. She looked around and noticed a man walking towards them.  He was a bit shorter than she was and he was smiling. She recongized him from the pictures the P.I. sent her as well as when she googled Art Nakamura , her bio dad.

“Hello, Poppy” The man beamed at her. “Happy Birthday” He held out a bouquet of flowers. Poppy hesitantly took the flowers.

“Hello Mr. Nakamura.” 

“Please feel free to call me Art.”

“ Thank you for the flowers Mr. Nakam– Art. Could you give Bea and I a moment?”

“No worries I will get us a table in the cafe.” Art walked into the cafe and Poppy turned to her girlfriend.

“What the fuck were thinking, Hughes?” Poppy shouted not worrying about the looks from passerbys. “How did you know about him? Do you know what could happen if Piers finds out about this? I could loose everything! Do you not fucking think!?”

“I was just trying to get you a good birthday gift and you have everything and I thought maybe it would be nice to meet him and get answers for questions you wanted. One of the nights I stayed over the letters were out and I accidentally read one of them. I didn’t say anything ,but the emotion just pour out of them and it seemed like you really wanted to meet him.”

“Those were private! Bea I can’t do this with you. Please just leave. I will find another way to get back to campus.”  

“But Poppy you don’t have your phone.”

“I don’t care. Just go.” Poppy shouted at Bea. Her chest felt heavy because she felt bad for yelling but she was just so angry. Anything else Bea had to say died in her throat. She walked back to her car and got in to leave. Poppy walked inside and found Art enjoying a mug of green liquid. She could smell the matcha.

“I am sorry for intruding, Poppy.”

“No, Art it’s no worries. It was just an unexpected surprise.”

They talked for awhile and Poppy’s stiff posture softened as she learned more about Art. He loved matcha just as much as she did. He talked about his time in college and how he always wanted to be a teacher. He showed her a picture of when he took his class to the museum and helped pay for the kids who couldn’t afford it. 

“I know it’s none of my business and my apologies in advance if I am over stepping. You shouldn’t be so hard on your girlfriend Bea.”

“She told you about our relationship?”

“No she didn’t need to. I know the look of love anywhere. We have all been bitten by the love bug once or twice.”

“ You don’t care that I am dating a girl.”

“Of course not. We can’t help who we love.” Poppy did her best to keep her tears from escaping.

“I appreciate you saying that Art. I just couldn’t imagine the wrath if Piers found out.”

“Bea said the same thing when planning this. She didn’t even let me bring my phone. I didn’t even park around here she made me park farther away and walk. I thought she was joking at first. She had me turn right 8 times to make sure I wasn’t being tailed.”

“I don’t have my phone either. She really went above and beyond.” She whispered the last part. Suddenly she felt like the worst girlfriend on this planet. She looked at where Bea had parked and saw an empty space. 

Bea found a quiet restaurant to sulk. She barely touched her fries when her phone started to buzz. It was a number she didn’t recongize, but there was no scam likely under it so she answered.

“Hello?”

“I’m so sorry for blowing up at you.” Poppy muttered. “I just was so sacred and had so many emotions running about I didn’t know how to react.”

“It’s okay Poptart. I should have ran this by you and not read the letter.”

“Will you come back? I want you to meet my dad.” 

“Absolutely, I will be right over.” Bea only went over 1 block, she didn’t want to leave Poppy stranded. After parking she walked into the cafe and saw Poppy laughing with Art. She was actually belly laughing. Bea’s heart felt so full to see her girlfriend enjoying her time with her father. She walked over and Poppy pulled her into a hug. She always felt light when her and Poppy embraced. Like nothing in the world could hurt them as long as they were together.

“Art I know you two have corresponded ,but I would like to officially introduce Bea my girlfriend.”

“Nice to meet you in person Bea. Thank you for today.” Bea shook Art’s hand and they sat and talked.

Art was telling them a story from his time in college and Bea was giggling at the story. Poppy imagined what life would have been like if Art was always her dad and raised her. She imagines with someone so warm as a father she would have turned out different. They stayed until close and parted ways after exchanging numbers on napkins.

On the way back to campus Poppy grabbed her girlfriends hands and planted a soft kiss on the back of Bea’s hand.

“Thank you for an amazing day.”

“Always. Happy Birthday Pops.”

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Just checking in with you cuties. I didn't want to seem like I got sucked into a black hole. I moved into a new house with my fiancée last week. We are 3 months away from our wedding so it's definitely hitting crunch time. I also have to start preparing to be placed into my internship which starts the same month I get married. I have still been writing though. I have some things that will be coming out, I was just overwhelmed for a little bit. T (@timetravesty) I thinks helps keep me in check and helps remind me to write.

Parent Trap

Bea landed on the plush couch with bowls of popcorn and puppy chow. Two of her favorite snacks for movie night. Zoey and Sab had already claimed their spots. The trio tried to get together once a week since classes have picked up for everyone. It really cemented the twin's friendship with Zoey, she was practically a Hughes now.

“Alright, what streaming service are we feeling tonight?” Sab turned on the Tv, scrolling through each service. 

“Let’s do Prime tonight,” Bea said while grabbing a handful of the popcorn.

Zoey waited for the perfect moment. She knew if she didn’t strike soon then she would lose her opportunity. Practically at the edge of her seat, she shouted out, “Oooh I call dibs on picking the movie tonight.” They always were quicker at calling dibs, having to do it all their lives. 

“Damn Zoey, how long have you been waiting for that?” Sab felt a little bit of pride, Zoey was actually acting like a sibling. She was an only child so the twins were the closest thing to a sibling she would ever get. 

“I have been practicing. I will no longer be losing to the Hughes twins. Your reign of movies is over. Suck it!”  Zoey smiled brightly, throwing some popcorn at Sab. 

“I have to admit I am pretty impressed. You have completely earned this win. What shall it be, champ?”

Zoey pondered her choices for a moment, the lightbulb then went off. She knew this would cause pushback from her roommates. “My choice is Parent Trap.”

Sab let out a whine. “Noooo. Why do we have to choose a twin movie?”

“Sab, Zoey won fair and square. I am not the most excited, but we honor dibs in this household. We always keep our word.”

Sabina wasn’t sure if her eyes could roll any harder. “You always have to be the kiss ass, Bea. I hate when you use logic” 

“As the champ, Sab, I say chop-chop and put the movie on.”

One popcorn refill later, the movie was coming to the end. The trio was notorious for commentating throughout the movie. It was no wonder why they were kicked out of the theater last week. 

“How did those Chessy realize that was the other twin, but neither parent couldn’t tell!”

Bea elbowed her sister in the side. “Sab shush, They are twins for a reason. I mean technically they were both played by Lindsey Lohan but besides the point! We are hard to tell apart.”

“I bet people would be able to tell the difference is all I am saying.”

“I think you are wrong.” Bea felt an idea spark off in her mind. “I have a proposition for you. Tomorrow we switch places for the whole day. I bet no one will be able to tell the difference. If I win then I'll pick your next tattoo and if you win then you can pick mine.”

“You know me, sis, I never back down from a bet. You are on. I hope you are ready to lose.” 

“Well, tomorrow will be interesting. Now both of you shut up. I never get to pick a movie and you will not ruin the rest of the movie for me.”

The three congregated in the kitchen to make the ground rules for the bet. Zoey was the witness so no cheating would be able to take place. The rules were stated as follows: No one beside Zoey could be told of the switch, the switch would end officially at the end of classes, if someone is made and it ends up on the T it equals an automatic loss, and if neither twin ends up on the T it will be based on how many people figured out each twin. Bea and Sab shook on it and they went to Sab’s room to pick out outfits. 

Sab picked out a black Henley and black jeans to cover Bea’s tattoos. Bea decided on a maroon Henley and dark denim jeans for Sab. Their tastes were similar, but Sabina was the party, dark and moody type while Bea was the studious one with golden retriever energy. 

Now that they were dressed, it was time to swap bookbags and keys for their cars. 

“You two are forgetting something.” The two stare at each other for a moment. “Your phones you ding-a-lings.” They swapped phones and the switch was final.

Bea looked at the schedule on Sab’s phone and went to her first art class in the morning. She wasn’t too worried, ever since she was young the two had artistic gifts. Thankfully it was only Art History 101 so she didn’t have to do too much. She picked up a coffee on the way, she would need it if she had to pretend to be Sab all day.

“Hey, Sab. getting your usual today.” The barista blushed as Bea stepped closer. She was lucky the girl had a nametag on or she would have been made easier.

“Yes Hayley thank you.”

“You never called. I thought we were going to go on a date last Friday.” She really shouldn’t have been shocked. Her sister was an absolute player whenever she interacted with women. Now she had to think of something, sound like Sab and not break this poor girl’s heart.

“I am so sorry, beautiful. Something came up and I had to help my sister Bea. I will absolutely make it up to you. How couldn’t I, especially to someone so amazing.” 

“I can’t stay mad at someone so charming. Your coffee is on the house today.” No wonder her sister flirts with baristas. The girl was gorgeous and she gave out free coffee. 

Sabina knew this would be easy. She always thought of herself as the more attractive of the two. She definitely had the better style of the two. She was going to mass communication for Bea. This was going to be a breeze. She knew Professor Roberta was practically a fangirl of Bea. She was one of the few students who actually participated and ever since they grew on the T the professor loved the drama. Sabina stood near the top of the steps to figure out what spot Bea would sit in. She felt someone shoulder check her and dropped her bag.

“What the fuck!” Sab looked at the stranger and was met with Poppy. Of course, the devil in pink was in this class. She didn’t understand how this was her sister’s favorite class. 

Poppy scowled at Sab, she was such an annoyance. She hadn’t had her coffee in the morning so she was even more irritable. “Excuse you, Farmsville. You should really watch where you are standing.” 

“Really blondie because you bumped into me. They didn’t teach you how to walk in hoity-toity stuck up bitch class 101”

“Who the fuck do you think you are Hughes!” Poppy was surprised because Bea usually clapped back, but she seemed to be upping her game. No one normally dares to argue with the queen of Belvoire. What was this feeling? Did she like being challenged? Mass communication was one of her favorite classes, but maybe the reason was something else. 

“Listen, we could keep going with this back and forth. I could keep owning your ass, but class is about to start.” Sabina walked away and chose a spot closer to the front of the class. She knows her sister was a nerd so, of course, the front is where she would be. Much to her dismay, the only other spot was next to her and Poppy had to take the seat. 

“Don’t get excited, Farmhand.”

“In case you didn’t notice, I don't care Popsicle.” 

“You know I hate when you give me those stupid ass nicknames.” God could this girl be any more annoying. She didn’t understand how her sister could have feelings for this drama queen. Bea never told her how she felt, but she could see how her sister looked at Poppy.

“Yes yes, I know Popcorn. Now if you don’t mind I would like to pay attention in class.” Sab could feel the heat radiate off of Poppy. She may have pushed her too far, was this the day she gets murdered. Surprisingly Poppy didn’t say another word during class. She didn’t even look her way.

The class was finally over and so Sabina gathered her things, well technically Bea’s things, and left the class. She was walking down the hall of the building when a mysterious figure pushed her into an empty class. She was flush against the wall and Poppy was pressed against her.

“Hughes what the fuck was that back there?”

“What the hell Pops. What are you doing?”

“I could ask you the same thing. I thought we had an agreement. We don’t outdo one another in public.” Poppy leaned in close to Sab. Sab’s brain was having a hard time catching up to what was going on. It was too late and Poppy leaned in close and kissed Sab. She hurried and got from Poppy’s grasp. Sab’s brain caught up, but couldn’t get her lips to make words. Bea was sneaking around with the queen of Belvoire. She was proud of her sister, that pride won’t stop her from killing her though. She just kissed her sister’s sorta girlfriend. 

“Um I am sorry I have to go, Poppy.” Sabina sprinted out of the room, leaving a confused Poppy.

The two finished their classes and were back at the dorm. Sabina felt like her heart was going to explode out of her chest. She never really saw her sister lose her cool and she really didn’t want to. They switched clothes and were in the living room discussing the day with Zoey.

“Well Sab it’s hard being the winner and unless you were recognized then I win the bet.”

Sab looked at everything beside her sister. She felt like she was sweating bullets. “Uh yep you were right. I will get the tattoo. We can switch back now.”  

“I’m surprised. You aren’t even arguing. Everything okay?”

“Wel-” Someone was banging on the front door. Bea went over and Sab knew her luck was running out because Poppy was at the door. “Shit,” Sab mumbled under her breath.

Poppy pushed Bea into the apartment, slamming the door closed. “Hughes how dare you fucking reject me today. I kiss you and you just fucking runoff.” 

Sabina could practically feel the blood drain out her face. Yup she was dead for sure now. 

“Poptart, what are you talking about?” Bea was dumbfounded. Not only did Poppy just reveal their relationship in front of her roommates, but she just found out her sister kissed her girl. She turned around and saw Sabina’s pale face, it was a dead giveaway.

“You are dead.” Bea lunged at Sab, but Zoey grabbed her just in time.

“Bea I didn’t know! This was something you could have mentioned. Who has a secret girlfriend and doesn’t tell their twin.”

“How are you going to blame me when you kissed my girl!”

“Bea don’t be mad! I admit I lost the bet. I will get whatever tattoo. Zoey is the witness.” Sab shielded her face in case Bea got through from Zoey’s grasp. She closed her eyes to brace for impact, but the only thing she heard was a laugh. The hell? She looked up to see Bea and Poppy laughing. Zoey looked just as confused. “Okay, what the fuck is going on.”

Bea stepped out of Zoey’s arms. “After Poppy kissed you she found me. I broke, greeting her which is not something you do. It just further confirmed we switched places. She knew directly after the kiss that it was you and not me. Well, we concocted a plan to mess with you. Also, you should be nicer to Hayley. She really likes you. I have two witnesses though so now you are getting a tattoo. We keep our word in this household, remember?”

Sabina can’t believe she was pranked this hard, but she was about to get her payback. ”Technically Bea, you lost the bet though. She could tell the difference. So it looks like you will be getting a tattoo as well. I say we go matching.”

Bea lost her smile instantly. “Fuck.”

The next week the twins, Zoey and Poppy, sat back on the couch.

“Alright what streaming service?” Bea asked with the remote in one hand and the other around Poppy.

“Let’s go Netflix this time.” 

“Dibs on picking the movie.” Zoey yelled out.

“What aw no fair.” Poppy pouted until Bea kissed her on top of her head.

“You will just have to come over more often to get quicker.” 

“I think so too.” Poppy softly grabbed Bea’s arm to inspect her tattoo. The twins agreed on matching tattoos. They decided to get their state flower to always remind them of home. Maybe one day Bea would add a Poppy flower to her arm.

Bea sat in the library preparing for finals, the last semester has been hectic. Between working for Professor Kingsley, studying, and doing homework; there was no such thing as free time. Someone set down two cold brews and an iced chai, she looked up to see Sabina and Zoey. They sat down and set up their work to study. The whole campus knew if you saw one of them then the other two weren’t far behind. The trio had taken the school by storm quickly climbing ranks.

“It’s about time, I thought you went to grow the beans.” Bea whined after grabbing her drink. 

“It’s midterm time on campus, did you think there wouldn’t be a line?” Sab shot back.

“You were flirting with the Barista weren’t you?”

“Actually surprisingly our girl Sab here didn’t even flirt once.” Zoey couldn’t help ,but tease Sabina.

“Okay, the both of you lay off. I just am serious about school right now. Keep talking shit and I will be taking your drinks back.” She knew her roommates could tell she was lying, but couldn’t help to care. She had been sneaking around with Ina most of the semester. They have been careful, only meeting in places they knew was safe. Sabina and Ina became regulars at a hotel, it was a three-star so she knew the Belvoire population wouldn’t even step foot near it. Their love has been a whirlwind. They would be on the video calls all night. They could talk until five a.m. most nights just talking the entire time or watching a movie together. It made them feel like they were together even though they were a secret.  She didn’t tell Bea or Zoey about their relationship. She figured they would just judge her or say it was a stupid decision. She just wanted to enjoy her relationship with Ina. The professor always made her feel worthy of love. They hadn’t said the three magic words yet, but Sab could feel herself falling. 

While studying in the main area for a while it was time for another round of drinks. Bea and Sabina played rock, paper,scissors to see who would go this time. Bea lost the two out three, she usually did since Sab could practically read her moves like a book. Bea headed to the cafe inside the library. She walked in and started to browse for brain fuel. 

Bea looked through the snacks in the now-empty café, everyone had gotten their fix earlier. She picked out some chocolate chip muffins and chips for the trio to share. She ordered two more cold brews and a chai. While waiting for the drinks she noticed a familiar pink walking figure. Her daily Poppy run-ins had been lacking lately. With her schedule being so packed she would only really see her around lunchtime. Poppy’s usual spot had been empty and she kinda missed going back and forth with her. The barista got her attention and handed her a carrier with the drinks. She ran to catch up to Poppy.

“Pops, have you been avoiding me?” Bea jokingly bumped Poppy’s shoulder. 

“Please Farmhand what makes you think you are so special?” 

“I don't know, the rankings sure have been liking me and I figured that would have gotten your attention.” Bea knew exactly how to push Poppy’s buttons.

“Farmsville, you will never get to top fifty let alone top fifteen. I don’t know what I have to do to show you, but I don’t like you, Hughes. Now you and your hay smell can leave now.” Poppy bumped Bea’s shoulder and began to leave. Bea was desperate to get her to stop.

“Are you worried I would knock you from your precious throne? I heard you only got the number one spot because of your dad.” Poppy halted mid-step, it was like glue clung to her stiletto. She turned around and marched back to Bea. Anger welled in Poppy’s chest, she couldn’t control it. 

“Hughes, you don’t know shit about me or my father. I don’t need some charity case coming here and fucking everything up. Keep your fucking nose out of my business. We aren’t friends. We just happen to go to the same university and that is it.” Poppy jabbed Bea’s chest with her finger. Bea could feel the pressure, pain was left in place of Poppy’s finger. 

“Whoa Poppy, I’m sorry okay. I didn’t know it was a sensitive subject. I’m sorry. Is your dad that harsh?” Bea knew how it was to have a rocky relationship with her parents. She figured someone so perfect wouldn’t understand, maybe she was wrong. 

“I don’t need any more friends Hughes. I said, ‘Keep your nose out of my business,’ not to try and pry even more.” Without another word Poppy turned and left to gather her things and go back to the sorority house. Bea felt guilt nestled in. She was hoping she didn’t screw things up too much with her.

Bea went back to Sabina and Zoey with their drinks. The trio spent most of the day in the library studying and downing caffeine. Finally, they made it back to the dorm. 

“I feel like my eyes are going to melt out of my head.” Bea threw herself onto the couch.

“If I read one more chapter I might throw up.” Sabina threw her book bag by the door. 

“I’m going to take a long bath.” Zoey headed to her room.

“Need company?” Sab smirked at Zoey.

“Come anywhere near my tub and I’ll drown you Sab.” Zoey joked while walking to her room.

Bea nestled more comfortably into the couch. She should go to her room but there was no way she was getting up from the couch. 

“Fuck!”

“What’s up Bea?”

“I forgot I have to give Ina back her flash drive. She needs it tonight to prepare a presentation for tomorrow morning.” Bea was about to get up from the couch when Sab stopped her. 

“Wait no sis. I can do it for you.”

“Are you sure Sab?”

“Yea of course. What kind of sister would I be if I didn’t help you out. You have been exhausted with everything. “ Sab tried to keep her voice even, as to not let Bea on to her ulterior motive. Her heart quickened at the thought of being able to see the raven-haired woman. 

“Fine. Since you love me so much though, can you bring back the ingredients to make puppy chow? I have been having a craving. “ Bea shifted to get more comfortable on the couch. She grabbed her favorite blanket and threw it on.

“Sis, I will even make it for you because I love you so much.” Sab hurriedly grabbed the flash drive and stuffed it into her pocket. She stopped at the mirror to make sure her hair looked okay, quickly grabbed a jacket, and started her walk to Ina’s office.

Sabina walked to Ina’s office a little faster, anytime with Ina was perfect so getting there as soon as possible was her mission. The night had a chill that felt nice in her lungs when she would breathe in. She looked up as she was walking, wishing the stars would show themselves. It wasn’t like being back in Farmsville, with no light pollution or smog to obscure the stars at night. She and Bea would stare at the stars for hours while in their treehouse. She always had the dream of getting a telescope so she could explore the night with her sister. 

“Hey, Bea!” Sab looked around and saw someone waving from afar. She was going to correct them, but it looked like they were already going in the opposite direction of Ina’s office. She didn’t want to miss out on any time with the raven-haired woman so just kept up her journey.

It was after hours so there wasn’t anyone in the Anthropology building this late at night. Sabina knocked on Ina’s door. She could hear Ina shuffle from her desk and walk to open the door. When she opened the door it was like seeing her for the first time all over again. She took in every feature she could, it was like discovering your favorite song for the first time. It just clicks. Her smile could brighten the universe, her laugh could put an orchestra to shame with how angelic she sounded, and every time she looked at Sab it was like the world moved a little slower. 

“Sab? What are you doing here? It’s late. Did anyone see you?” Ina grabbed Sab’s hand and pulled her into her office, closing the door and flicking the lock. 

“Relax killer. I am returning the flash drive for you. Bea was exhausted and I am being a good sister. I mean how could I not want to come to see you. Beautiful, talented and did I mention beautiful?” Sabina beamed at Ina, she just made her feel calm. 

“I just worry. I would never want to cause issues for either one of us. Thank you for delivering the flash drive. How could I ever repay?” Ina sauntered closer to Sab, pulling her closer by her jacket. 

“Why Ms.Kingsley, I would do anything for you, pretty lady.”  Sab lowered herself to meet Ina’s lips, she had been dreaming of those lips all day. It's like her lips were water in the middle of the desert and she was oh so thirsty. Each time she was in Ina’s presence, she felt like she was going down the peak of a rollercoaster. Ina put her hands around Sab’s next and pulled her closer. It felt like they were the only people in the world. Sabina pulled her closer by her hips, she would do anything to get close to Ina. 

Sabina and Ina have swept away with one another, they didn’t notice that in the dark of the night someone was watching. A hooded figure in all-black watched the two lovebirds. The figure loomed in the window. They stood and watched with their phone out. 

The next day Bea had hardly seen anyone, everyone was doing finals. Zoey left the dorm before she was awake, leaving fresh coffee and french toast. Sab was already at the library to finish some last-minute studying. It seemed like today was a solo day. She would finish her finals today just in time to pack some things to take back to Farmsville.

Bea was a bright student and always had been, but sometimes big tests made her panic. She knew she was ready with all the studying she did. The trio missed a bunch of parties in preparation for test day. She knew the top fifteen had people to do her finals for them. What was the point of coming to university if you weren’t going to actually learn anything? After feeling wrecked from her last two finals she decided it was time to treat herself to ice cream, even if it was getting colder out. Back in the Midwest ice cream was an all-year thing even with snow on the ground. She only had two more finals left then she was free to go back to the farm for winter break. She and Sab would be driving back together, a whole twelve-hour drive to get back to the Midwest. Being stuck in a car with Sabina, maybe she could just hitchhike it instead. Their parents were so excited to have them back home. Her mom called to ask them what kind of dinner they wanted to celebrate being back for the holidays.

Bea went to her favorite ice cream place near campus, inside she saw a familiar face.

“Hey Taylor!” Bea went over to the short brunette girl. She greeted her with a side hug. 

“Oh hey Bea. How are you?” Taylor looked around skittishly, she shifted all the clothes in her arms. Practically almost losing balance by the sheer amount of clothes. Bea grabbed the pile of clothes with no problem. She had thrown around hay bales way heavier than this. 

“Doing well. What’s with all the clothes, did you knock off the dry cleaners on the way here?”

“I had to do errands for Poppy today. She is running me ragged, I have barely had time for finals. She has been hard on all of us, especially since they were doing pre-rushing events for next semester.”

“No offense ,but why would people voluntarily rush knowing Poppy is a Zeta.”

“Who are you telling, the other week she made someone cry so bad they transferred.”

“Why am I not surprised by that? I mean we should know by now with the monster in charge.”

The pair turned as the front door bell rang. Bea noticed Taylor blush when the young student walked in. He noticed the two of them and approached.

“Hey, Taylor. I have been meaning to talk to you. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. I could get you your ice cream and hang out before we get hit with more finals.” 

“I wish I could Benedict, but I am so busy with all the stuff for Poppy and barely have time to even study for finals.”

“Oh, maybe another time. See you around then.” Benedict walked over to order deflated. Bea looked at Taylor and could see her eyes fighting back tears. It made her heartbreak. 

“Taylor, I can take the dry cleaning for Poppy. I will even get whatever frozen treat she wants. I want you to take the rest of the day off. “

“Bea, Poppy would kill me. Then I would never get to date Benedict unless he has an Ouji board.”

“What percent is your phone on?”

“Eight percent.”

“Put her phone on the max brightness and let it die. If Poppy tries to check your phone, she will see there is no juice left. Enjoy your date.”

“Are you sure Bea?”

“Taylor, you deserve a nice day. You are a great girl. Let me help you.”

“Thank you so much Bea.” Taylor gave Bea the note with Poppy’s ice cream order on it. She went over to Benedict to ask if the offer was still available. 

Bea was proud to help Taylor. Ever since the first day on campus after the standoff, Taylor had always been so kind to Bea. They could only really talk if Poppy wasn’t around, she would probably blow a gasket if she saw them talking.  As she approached the Zeta house, nerves started to settle in her stomach. Maybe it was because she was walking into the lion’s den, but maybe there was more to it. Now she had to figure out how to get into the house without causing too much of a ruckus. Coming up the steps of the Zeta house she bumped into Veronica.

“Bea Hughes, awfully brave of you to show up here. Poppy has no morals against murder.” Veronica stared at her phone, not bothering to look at Bea. 

“Very funny Veronica. I came to deliver some stuff for Poppy.” The nerves in her stomach tripled in size. Should she be worried about getting murdered?

“Hm well, good luck Hughes.” Veronica moved aside to let in Bea. She closed the door and followed her in.

“Vi weren’t you leaving?”

“Well if Poppy does murder you, I should be here to live to stream it. It would be a shame, I think you are too hot to die.” Bea couldn’t help, but blush. She wasn’t used to people being so forward with their flirting. 

Bea walked up the grand staircase with Poppy’s dry cleaning and ice cream. She looked at all the doors and saw one decorated in pink. The strawberry blonde was so obvious. Hoping for nerves of steel, she approached the door. She went to knock on it, but the door was already cracked open. She peeked inside and saw Poppy laying on her bed.

“Dad, I am still number one in rank. Yes, I know you were number one for four years during your time here. No one is going to take it from me. Y-you would disown your own child? I understand. Yes sir. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go to dinner. Oh, you have a business trip. Yea I get it. I love y.. And you hung up.”

Bea could hear Poppy shuffle and she hurriedly back away from the door. She waited a moment and finally knocked on the door. Poppy opened it, she was wearing a pink silk robe. Bea took in the full view. Even when she was scowling Bea couldn’t help but admire the way her hair flowed and how great her legs were.

“This better be some sick joke, Hughes. Why are you in the Zeta house?” Poppy didn’t sound angry though. She just seemed more defeated and sad.

Bea snapped out of her trance. "I was just dropping off your dry cleaning and a frozen treat for you.”

“Funny because I definitely told Taylor to do that.” Poppy got out her phone to call Taylor and chew her ass out. It went straight to voicemail and it only caused Poppy’s anger level to rise even more. 

“Something came up and she was so worried about getting your stuff to you, so I volunteered. Her phone was dead so she couldn’t get through to you.”

“Whatever Hughes, just put the stuff down and leave.” She didn’t need Bea to make her headache worse. Her dad Piers already put her in an absolutely horrible mood. 

Bea went over and put the pile of clothes on an ottoman by Poppy’s closet. She put the bag of ice cream on her vanity. She stepped over by the door looking at Poppy.

“Um I know we aren’t the closest or even really friends, but I am a really good listener.”

“Why the hell would you say something like that? I have plenty of people around me to listen to. I would rather die a slow and painful death than talk to you about feelings.”

“It just seems lonely sometimes. All these people, but it only seems like they do it out of fear or power. I know how it is to feel alone is all I am saying.” 

“You think you know it all, Farmsville. You don’t know shit about my life. Leave.”

Bea stopped and pulled out the receipt from the ice cream. She went over to the vanity for a pen and wrote her number on the back. 

“If you ever change your mind, here is my number. All you have to do is give me the word and I will listen. I won’t even respond if you don’t want me to.” 

“I don’t know why directions are so hard for you, Hughes.” Poppy grabbed the receipt and balled it up, throwing it into the trash.

“Now please get the hell out of here.” Poppy said the words, but Bea could tell they had no real bite to them.

The twins picked up Bea’s Ford Bronco, hugging Zoey before they left. Bea got into the driver’s spot since she didn’t always trust Sabina’s driving. They started their twelve-hour trip back home.  Hopefully, the time with their parents would go smoothly now that Sab and Bea finally mended their relationship. Bea’s phone rang over the Bluetooth to her car as she drove. 

“Hey Mom, what's up?”

“I was just checking in on my amazing daughters. We are going to have the family over for dinner. Oh Bea titi Eva was saying how she is excited to hear about all your law classes.”

“Oh yay that’s so great.” Bea tried to muster up excitement, but it just fell flat. Hopefully her mother didn’t notice. 

“Alright, you girls drive safe. We will see you soon.”

Bea always dreaded talking about her future. It was always the worst thing, especially since she was practically forced into pre-law. She would need a miracle to get through this winter break.

One New Message: Unknown Number

If you tell anyone I messaged you, I will murder you and hide the body.

Well maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.

Heyy can you tell me what's the next fic you'll be working on?

The one you posted today was amazing, protective poppy I stan

I am actively plotting multiple fics in my idea journal (dream journal vibes like Sharkboy and lavagirl) . My memory has been shot lately from some stress stuff so the book was introduced. I have three requests I want to get to because I love the prompts so much. I am also plotting things for chapter four of the twins and then a brand new one based on art. Chapter four is taking a bit longer because I wrote it out, but some things are being changed. @timetravesty is often subject to the inner workings of my brain and helps me so big shoutout to her. 😊

[sneakybananabox]

Thank u for writing the I’m sorry fic! Love Sab and Beas relationship btw

Thank you Anon you absolute cutie 😊 . I'm glad you like it. Different sibling things I have imagine for them always make me giggle while I write. 😅

[sneakybananabox]

Would it be ok for u to write a fic where Bea gets absolutely drunk (to rid of jealousy because seeing poppy with carter hurts her) at a bar causing her to makeout with another woman where said girl takes her to a private room to get intimate and Bea passes out in the middle of it? And Poppy happens to see this all unfold and…. U can decide what happens next

I got really into this prompt. Thank you for the request.

Warning: Cursing, drinking, SA

I'm sorry

Bea waited for her popcorn to finish and thought about what she would watch on Netflix, ready for her night in. She decided early on that night she just needed a break. Like every college kid, she was being crushed by tests, notes, and more tests. She was ready to watch some shitty show and enjoy some snacks that probably weren’t the best for her health. Not like it mattered much since her body was toned from working on the farm and her fast metabolism.

Staying in felt like a relief, she didn’t want to be around anyone, especially a certain strawberry blonde. It had been a week since their encounter and it took every part of her thoughts. Everything, in the end, led to her thinking about Poppy and she hated it. She wished that night never happened, even though it was the night she knew she had feelings for one Poppy Min-Sinclair. 

“This is going to be a blast.” Sabina jumped excitedly in costume. She fixed her zoot suit hat and suspenders. The black button shirt and white suspenders with the gray striped dress pants gave her the perfect mafia boss vibe. She kept three buttons open to show off her chest tattoos. 

“I guess.” Bea threw on her red puffy vest, she loved back to the future so when she found the Marty Mcfly costume she was ecstatic. She even found the Nike Bruins with the red swoosh. 

“Don’t be a buzzkill, Bea.” Zoey came from her room in her Dorothy costume. Sabina couldn’t help but admire her. She looked at her smooth legs and the way the dress captured her figure. 

“Wow Zoey. You look beautiful.” 

“Sab, better pick up your jaw off the ground before you trip over it. Bea, I know Halloween isn’t exactly your thing. Tonight is about us letting loose though. We deserve a night to relax and forget all our problems. Now my gorgeous roommates let’s go.”

After arriving the trio went straight to the bar. Now with the strength of liquid courage, it was time for dancing. They were enjoying themselves, letting the music drown out everything. Sabina danced with one of the Zetas before disappearing with her newfound dance partner. Bea looked around for Zoey before seeing her talking to someone from one of her classes. An arm pulled Bea out of the crowd and was met with Veronica.

“Hey Hughes, follow me.” Bea was skeptical. Why was one of Poppy’s minions actually talking to her? She let the alcohol make the call and followed the Zeta anyway.  Veronica entered a room upstairs and sat joining the circle on the ground. Bea looked and saw Chloe, Poppy, Carter, Ford, Liam, and Luis. 

“Veronica what the fuck!? Why is Farmsville here?”

“Well, I figured the most attractive people should be here. Zoey and Sab were unfortunately busy or nowhere to be found. Plus Bea is hot as fuck.” Veronica winked at Bea. She couldn’t help but blush at the compliment.

“Whatever. Everyone just sit down. We are playing spin the bottle. The group will rate the kiss and if you get a low score then you do seven minutes in heaven with that person. The queen will go first.” Poppy spun the bottle and it landed on Carter. She pulled Carter by his costumes and they definitely made sure they got a high score.

Bea went next and the bottle landed on Veronica. 

“Well, Veronicats I hope you enjoy the show. 'Veronica sauntered over to Bea and wrapped her arms around her neck. Their lips met, Veronica’s lips tasted like cherries, and Bea did love cherries. She grabbed Vi by her hips and pulled her closer. She wasn’t always this bold, she would have to thank the vodka for that. Veronica nipped Bea’s lip, but her soft lips soothed her immediately. Finally, they pulled back.

“Damn Bea. We should have done that a lot sooner.” Veronica smiled and pecked her lips one more time before going back to her spot.

“Shit that was hot.” Ford cheered on the two girls.

“Whatever, it wasn't that great,” Poppy mumbled. She didn’t know why everyone was impressed with Hughes. She had done nothing but ruined everything from the moment she stepped onto campus. Another feeling was bubbling in her chest. She decided to just push it down.

The time passed and almost everyone had kissed, even the Alphas had kissed each other. The only person Bea hadn’t kissed was Poppy. She was sure Poppy was using any telepathy to keep the bottle from landing on her, she wouldn’t have been surprised with how much she hated Bea. 

Poppy spun and the bottle twirled, the only thing that could be heard was the glass on the floor. The bottle slowed and landed directly on her arch-nemesis. Bea looked up and wasn’t sure what emotion flashed across Poppy’s face. She got up and approached Poppy and offered her hand.

“Looks like you are unlucky tonight Poptart.” Poppy dreaded this moment but knew it would happen eventually. She grabbed Bea's hand and got up, she stumbled a bit and landed in Bea’s arms. “Falling for me already? We haven’t even kissed.” Bea smirked at Poppy.

“Let’s get this over with.” Poppy grabbed Bea’s shirt and pulled her close. Their lips met hard, but soon they found their rhythm. Poppy tasted like strawberry, way better than cherries. As quickly as it started they broke apart. 

“Hm, I don’t know guys. I think Poppy and Hughes got the lowest score of the night.” Liam announced to the group. 

“I agree Liam. Looks like you two have to do the seven minutes.” Luis agreed. 

“You two are out of your mind.” Poppy complained while glaring at the Alphas. Everyone agreed with Ford and Luis. 

They found themselves in a closet. Bea looked at Poppy and admired her devil costume. It made her look devilish and it made Bea want to sin. 

“Keep your eyes to yourself, Farmhand.” Poppy snarled, she would have to think of a way to get back at the Alphas for forcing this situation. 

“Are we just going to stand here staring at each other?”  Bea wanted to change the subject, she couldn’t help staring at Poppy otherwise. 

“If you think I am going to kiss you again then you are out of your mind.” 

“Okay, I am out of here.” Bea began to walk out of the room, but Poppy grabbed her hand. The room suddenly became ten degrees hotter. Poppy pulled Bea closer, she could feel her breath on her neck. 

“I am no quitter Hughes and I don’t want it live-streamed on Veronica’s stupid channel.” Poppy kissed Bea, snuffing out any words that were at the tip of her tongue. This kiss was different, it wasn’t as angry as before. Poppy rested her arms around Bea’s neck and got closer. She could feel the warmth radiate from the Zeta queen. She pulled her close, emitting a moan from Poppy. Her heart felt like it would beat right out of her chest. Her tongue met Poppy’s lips parting her lips. Their kiss was more than lust, Bea could feel it. They heard a timer, reluctant to part from one another. Without saying another word Poppy disappeared out of the room. All Bea could do was look at the spot the woman once stood in front of her. 

Whenever they would encounter each other after that time, Poppy would avoid her. Her words during their sporadic encounters weren’t as angry. It was like the ice queen lost her chill. She missed seeing Poppy as much. She was grateful that Sab and Zoey came to interrupt her thoughts. 

“Hey sis. I know you have a date with popcorn and Netflix, but there is a party at this crazy house. I heard they have the best catering in the city and Lil Nos F is going to be performing.” Sabina hopped on the couch next to Bea, stealing her popcorn.

“No, absolutely not.” Bea snatched her popcorn back away from Sab.

“Bea, please. I am a huge fan of Nos and if I can talk to him maybe it can help with my djing.” Zoey pleaded while batting her eyes at Bea. She knew that her roommate wouldn’t be able to resist the power of her gorgeous brown eyes. 

“Ugh fine. Only because you asked and not for Sab.”

“Hey! I am right here.”

Bea got ready and they all piled into Zoey’s Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV. They reached the new house at the height of the party. While coming in they greeted their peers as they passed, the trio had taken the campus by storm and were popular amongst the student body. There were waiters with different drinks on platters and different snacks. Bea thought this had to be the fanciest university party she had ever been to, that was saying something considering the school she went to. She grabbed a glittery purple drink from one of the trays to sip on. It tasted fruity but still had the burn going down.

She tried her best to mingle and enjoy herself, she should have snuck some popcorn into the party. She went to the kitchen in hopes of scrounging up her favorite buttery snack. She wasn’t prepared for what she walked in. Sitting on the counter was Poppy making out with Carter. Her head tilted up as he kissed her neck. The whole house could collapse and Bea wouldn’t be able to notice the difference, she had already been crushed. 

Poppy looked at her, but before she could say anything Bea ran out the room. She tried so hard to hold back the tears but failed as they ran down her cheeks. She was mad at herself, of course, Poppy would never be with her. She only saw her as some farmhand. She thought Poppy and Carter had broken up a long time ago. It didn’t matter now, her chance at the ice queen was gone. Bea took another drink, this time a brown liquid, and downed it in seconds. She would do anything not to feel anymore. She needed another drink and quickly.

Four and a half drinks later and the only thing felt was spacey. The music seemed better and everything seemed more vibrant. She was having a blast dancing in the main living room. A girl caught her eye across the makeshift dance floor. She was gorgeous and she couldn’t keep her eyes off Bea. Tonight was a good night to try new things, so with all her courage, she went over to the woman. Walking wasn’t as easy as before, the drinks were doing the walking now, and Bea was just along for the ride.

“Would you care to dance?” Bea offered her hand to the mysterious stranger, only slightly slurring. The woman gave her hand and they went over to the dance floor. They danced closely, their hands roaming each other’s bodies. Bea felt thirsty from the dancing, downing two more drinks to quench her thirst. The stranger and Bea’s lips met messily. Things were getting heated quickly. The woman led Bea to a room upstairs, closing the door. Bea stumbled over to the bed barely able to walk straight. She landed on the bed and could barely keep her eyes open. The girl started kissing Bea and took off her jacket. Bea looked up at the woman and that was the last thing she saw.

Poppy just wanted to get Bea Hughes off her mind tonight. That night back at the costume party meant more than she knew. Poppy had felt something that night in the closet. What would it look like if she ended up with her arch-nemesis? She would lose any credibility she had built for herself. Her pride caused her to take a couple drinks back and almost hook up with Carter at the party tonight. She didn’t think she would run into Bea that night but also wished she would. The look of hurt would be ingrained in Poppy’s brain forever. She left Carter at that moment and just stayed with the Zetas. She watched Bea from afar drinking and enjoying the company of some stranger. The jealous feeling ran through her veins. She had no right to be jealous after the events earlier in the night. She pried her eyes away only to see Bea later stumble barely able to walk going upstairs. Something felt wrong. Poppy went to find Sabina and then get to Bea.

Poppy went to the first door and knocked and heard the girl. She couldn’t hear Bea though. Adrenaline took over Poppy’s thought process, and she was lucky her parents enrolled her in taekwondo. She kicked in the door and saw Bea passed out on the bed. 

“What the fuck are you doing?” The mysterious woman shouted. Poppy wasn’t going to let her get another word out. She rushed and threw a punch at the stranger, landing straight on her cheek. The woman fell to the ground out cold.

"Don't you ever fucking touch her again or I will ruin your fucking life," Poppy growled at the woman on the ground.

Sabina, Zoey and Poppy ran over to Bea. They helped carry her back to Zoey’s SUV and back to the dorm. 

Bea woke up, feeling like she took a brick to the head. She looked around and saw she was back in her room. Sleeping in the chair in her room was Poppy. Maybe she was still drunk or asleep. She looked over and saw aspirin and water next to her bed. She drank the water with the aspirin, knocking over the bottle of pain meds when setting down the water. Poppy jolted awake and blinked sleepily.

“Sorry for waking you Pops.” Bea looked down instead at the blonde in front of her. 

“How are you feeling Bea?” Bea shot her head up making herself dizzy, she had never used her first name before. 

“I feel hungover and stupid. I drank way too much last night.”

“Do you remember anything about last night Bea?”

Bea felt sick as Poppy retold the events from last night and it wasn’t just from the hangover. She was grateful Poppy saw what was happening. She couldn’t help, but feel impressed at the thought of her throwing a punch. Bea looked over and saw Poppy’s lightly bruised knuckles, damn and she hit hard. Shuffling to the kitchen Bea got an ice pack wrapped in a napkin to help Poppy’s knuckles feel better.

“Thanks, Hughes.” A sense of disappointment washed over Bea already missing hearing her first name move past Poppy’s lips.

“I am the one who should be thanking you. You saved me.”

“Be honest with me Hughes. Why did you drink so much?” Bea didn’t know how to answer the question. She didn’t want to burden Poppy with any sense of guilt. 

“I don’t know.”

“Bullshit Hughes. We may not always have been friends, but I know you well enough that you just lied.”

“Ok. Ok. I let my emotions get the best of me last night. I was um- jealous and hurt seeing you and Carter.”

“Shit,” Poppy mumbled under her breath, when would she stop hurting people.

“Don’t do that, Pops. I know what it’s like taking on guilt for other peoples’ actions. You carry that shit around with you and it will ruin you from the inside out.”

“I hurt you and you are still trying to console me. You are something else Hughes” They sat in silence for a moment. Seeing Bea in trouble made Poppy realize that she felt something for Bea. It was more than a kiss that night a month ago. It was time she worked on putting her pride aside. “Bea, what you saw in the kitchen with Carter was a mistake. I did it because I was trying to deny what I felt for.. you.” 

Bea wasn’t sure if it was because of last night or all the emotions coursing through her, but she thought she was going to throw up. Poppy was admitting her feelings for her.

“Poppy Min-Sinclair, are you saying you like me? With this much luck I better try the lottery tonight.”

“Don’t ruin it Hughes. If you don’t feel the sa-”

“Poptart I feel the same way.” Poppy thought her heart exploded for a moment. Her smile beamed across her face. “I know a great breakfast place. I swear the omelets could solve any problem.” 

“A date Hughes? Already?”

“I move quick.” Bea got up and offered her hand to Poppy. She was inches away from Poppy’s lips. “Maybe this kiss gets a better rating than last night?

“Don’t ruin it, Bea.” Poppy closed the distance and kissed Bea, her girlfriend.

Unconditionally

This is a one-shot Boppy fic inspired by@timetravesty canon (yes, I consider their fics the real canon). Disclaimer: This fic is not connected to @timetravesty au but is influenced by and based on it. Also, I'm new to writing so don't expect much. I make fanfics and scenarios using songs or ost, so I recommend that you listen to the linked songs when it appears before you read the following parts. I already expect that the sound cues of the ost will not align with the scene, so I encourage you to play out the scene again just by listening using your imagination. The ost themselves are great on their own to make you feel when a particular scene starts to happen or ends (how it plays out), but either way I'll just add some notes for guidance. Please do tell me if it's unnecessary to do if ever I make another fanfic.

**********************************************************************

"We'll just head out for a night walk!" Bea exclaimed as she put on her coat and opened the door for Poppy. "Okay, don't stay out too late, or we'll lock you out!" Momma Hughes replied from the kitchen.

The pair stepped out, taking in the night's cold breeze in SweetCreek. Bea stares at Poppy's back as the latter walks in front of her, obviously occupied with thoughts. Well, her family did just bombard them with questions; it's the first time Bea took Poppy to her hometown, after all.

Dinner was... fine; it was definitely bearable before the "future plans" question. The Hughes went gaga over Poppy's arrival, treating her like a princess visiting a mere family's farm and possibly the first woman Bea introduced at home in a long time.

Bea can't count how many times her family voiced out that Poppy's so pretty and how she did a great catch. She can't blame them. Bea still can't believe she wakes up to that face every day. They talked about how they met, not including their first meeting in Belvoire. How Poppy's a big CEO and Bea was just her architect. Of course, the whole family loved it, to the point that they asked the question the couple's been avoiding this entire time.

"When are you guys getting married?"

Bea sighs heavily before walking faster to keep up with the blonde. She takes her hand, gripping it softly but firmly. The act caused Poppy to get out of her head and look at the brunette now by her side. She feels a gentle press on her hand as she processes Bea's guilty eyes.

"I'm sorry about dinner. It went a little overboard and-" Bea stopped as Poppy cupped her right cheek and smiled. "It's okay. I guess they got a little too excited."

It's the same smile that infiltrated Bea's heart and thoughts, haunting her multiple nights. Making her long for the queen, who everyone thought was heartless.

Bea mirrored the gesture, then moved forward while still holding Poppy's hand, "Come on, let me take you somewhere special."

They went off track and passed through the fences. It's scary, especially for Poppy, since they're passing through a thick forest in the dark.

"Where are we going, Hughes? I swear if I come back home with mosquito bites and ah-!" A sharp sound echoed.

Poppy instantly hugged Bea's whole arm and closed her eyes against her shoulder. Bea laughs, "Relax, Pops, I just stepped on a stick."

Poppy looked up and glared at her before smacking her arm. "Ow!" Bea cried and rubbed the pain lingering on her sidearm. The blonde tried to lead the way or find any direction that may possibly save their lives but failed. She does, however, find this day to be her last if they stay here.

Bea's just entertained how the princess is trying to find a way out with horror on her face. They were in the middle of the forest without any light or path to follow, so it was only natural.

"I can carry you there if you want," Bea offered and pointed at her back. It was dark, but she could still resemble Poppy rolling her eyes and expression.

Even though she considered accepting the offer, right now, she just wants this to be over with. "Just take me away from here, idiot; I don't see special anywhere. Unless I actually went here with a serial killer." Poppy scowled.

Bea just chuckled and led her by the hand once again. "Just trust me. You won't regret it."

Poppy just followed, now the one staring at the figure's back. The statement made her wonder, when did she truly regret going with Bea?

Never.

Bea is the only person she trusts that makes her genuinely happy.

Even if it means walking with her in a dark, creepy forest at the moment.

"We're almost there..." Bea announced, not hiding her excitement about reaching their destination. "We're here!"

Poppy couldn't see properly since it was blocked by the taller frame, but she detected the decrease in trees. Bea notices and steps out of her way, letting go of her hand as Poppy takes in the scenery before her, subconsciously stepping forward.

It's an open field surrounded by trees and a beautiful lake that reflects the shining moon above them perfectly.

Poppy was speechless, proving once again that Bea Hughes does not disappoint.

The brunette smirked and seated an arm over her shoulder. "I knew you'd like it." She then placed a kiss on Poppy's head, proud that she took them here.

Poppy held the arm around her as she faced the owner. "What? Who said I liked it? For all I know, there might be insects swarming around my legs right now."

"Oh, there are." Bea declared, then spun the lady around fiercely but safely. Poppy was startled and confused by her sudden actions and was about to turn around to express anger, but suddenly, the ground lit up.

(The orchestra drops here)

Fireflies emerge from below. Lighting up the surroundings slowly but surely. Poppy shifts left and right, ensuring it's real, not wanting to miss anything. The hem of her dress brushed the tips of the grass as she spun around, causing more lights to come out. Despite hating bugs, Poppy tries to reach out to the fireflies flying out to the lake in the moon's direction.

It was a sight so magical, she had to make sure it was real. Then it hit her, turning to the person that brought her here. Bea was frozen in place as her heart stopped when brown eyes met hers.

Bea already anticipated this. She discovered this place when she got lost in the woods back then. Thankful it happened until now.

What she didn't expect was how someone made it a million times better.

The love of her life, with the right smile, the right lighting, the right...everything. If only she could stop time.

They stared at each other long enough that the fireflies disappeared into the sky. But they don't care because the most beautiful thing right now is her.

Poppy rushed to kiss Bea, and the latter caught her flawlessly by the waist. The perfect kiss in the perfect moment.

Poppy stops and moves slightly away. With her arms around her neck and forehead against each other, she holds Bea's gaze and speaks...

"I love you, Bea." She confessed with all sincerity.

(Song stops here...)

Expecting a reply, the Asian was taken aback when Bea let her go and went beside the lake.

Poppy watches intently, wondering what's wrong as she meets the brunette's back once again.

Without the fireflies around, the only light that shines is the moon that lies in front of Bea.

Poppy stepped closer but halted, "I talked to your parents last week."

Bea said, still looking in front and admiring the moon's reflection. The sudden mention of her parents made Poppy feel uneasy.

The last conversation she had with them was her declaring that they stay away from her and that with or without their acknowledgment, she chooses Bea Hughes.

It's no secret that her parents disapprove of her relationship, let alone her sexual identity. That's why it took her a while to understand and accept that what she felt for Bea was not as "shallow" as she thought it was.

Even though Poppy acts strong and cold most of the time, Bea knows she still cares about her parents; and how much it would mean to her for them to support their relationship.

That's why Bea didn't pop the question just yet.

"What did you talk about?" The woman behind her asked.

"You." Bea looked over her shoulder to see her reaction. As she expected, Poppy takes this seriously.

Bea turned fully to confront her current girlfriend, eager to know what she had to say.

"I'm serious, Bea." Now face-to-face, Bea softens her look and walks closer to her.

"I am. You wanna know everything?"

Poppy just nodded, so Bea proceeded to explain.

"I asked for their time, and they agreed-"

"Lies, they wouldn't let you talk to them that easily." Poppy interrupted.

Bea takes note of Poppy's deadly stare and sighs. There's no point in filtering her words from now on in this case.

"Fine...remember the errands I did for the last few months? Yeah, that was for them." Bea rubbed the back of her neck as she received the disappointed look from Poppy.

"Why? What's the point? You were stressing over them this whole time?" Poppy asked while Bea took and kissed the back of her hand.

"Because they need to know how amazing their daughter is."

"Wha-"

"Let me finish, Poppy," Bea demanded as she slowly lets go of her hand. Now determined, she put on a serious demeanor and closed the distance between them until the blonde needed to tilt her head up.

"I confronted Anna, Piers, and even Art, but that's for another time," Bea remembered; she did her best to track the teacher only to realize he was the easiest to handle.

Poppy's eyes widened, bewildered by what Bea was about to say, so she stayed quiet.

"I told them that their daughter...is amazing. She's one of the most intelligent and hard-working people I know, if not the most. Perfecting the mindset of being the perfect rich man's daughter. Although sometimes she may burst out, and some of them might've been my fault, but that's because she sacrificed a lot just to meet your expectations. And I hope she did because now we all know her as the youngest CEO to rise up this high in New York without relying on you. That's why I commend you for raising such a clever, powerful, and independent woman who's undeniable beautiful and capable. That's what you trained her for her whole life, right?"

Bea raised Poppy's chin as it stooped down while she talked, rubbing her thumb against her jaw.

"You saw her as the supposedly perfect daughter who'll obey every order you spat at her. But I saw her as someone who's burned out; an abused puppet controlled by your grip." Bea smiled at her weakly as she recalled how Poppy kept it all together and broke down since their college days.

It's the vulnerability she subconsciously shows when they're alone as Bea lends a shoulder and hugs her before she turns back into a cold, emotionless dictator.

"I've seen her ruthless, I've seen her selfish, I've seen her control the whole university like a heartless Queen. I've seen her risking it all for victory, even if it meant ending relationships she actually cherished just to keep mommy and daddy proud."

At this point, Poppy doesn't know if she should be offended or not but remains silent as Bea continues.

"But under all that, I've seen her cry, I've seen her angry, I've seen her tired... and I've seen her actually happy for once. And she deserves that, so would it kill you to give her a break and be proud of her? Because I am."

"You've seen her at her best, yet is still somehow unsatisfied. I've seen her at her worst, and I love her unconditionally."

"I know you just want the best for Poppy and your family. But she doesn't need parents that choose for her life anymore; she needs parents that support her and see how far she's become and will go. So now I'm begging you to give us a chance. Give me a chance to prove that I am deserving of your daughter's hand, and most of all, give yourselves a chance to be better parents."

Poppy stayed quiet the whole time; she didn't like that Bea spoke in her regard and behind her back, but she couldn't deny the validity of her words.

Poppy crossed her arms and put on a neutral look as she raised a brow at Bea. "Then what happened."

Bea retracted her hand back and took a glimpse of the lake beside them. "I got what I wanted..."

"and what's that?" Poppy asked, causing her to look back. Bea steps closer to her again, grabbing her face.

"Doesn't matter cause right now I want something from you, Poptart." Bea removed her palm from Poppy's cheek and reached for something in her pocket.

Poppy just stood there, not knowing how to react as the person in front of her kneeled. She was still processing the monologue earlier, now malfunctioning as the small box in Bea's hand opened.

"Poppy Min-Nakamura-Sinclair..." Hughes whispered as the moonlight shined on both of their expressions. The blonde covers her face with a hand, finally tearing up. She tried her best not to break down earlier, but now the realization hit her hard.

It was her mother's ring.

Fighting the urge to hug her as she sobbed while both sleeves wiped the tears off her face. Bea finally asks her,

"Will you marry me?"

It took time to regain her composure, but Poppy confronted the asker with a genuine smile. With tears still running down her face, Poppy replies.

"If I were to spend my whole life with a person who annoys the shit out of me..." Bea bowed her head as she chuckled at the statement but later looked back at those brown eyes again as she continued.

"....but treats me right and makes me happy, so happy. It'd be you, Beatrice Liu Hughes. Only you." Poppy brushed away a strand of the brunette's hair and cupped her right cheek as they stared at each other's eyes in silence.

Bea will never get used to Poppy being sincere; her heart can't take it. so she cleared her throat and grinned. "So is that a yes or-?"

Poppy nudges her jaw with her fist weakly as they both laugh. Bea finally stood up and brought the ring out of the box. As Poppy watched her act, she took Poppy's hand and carefully slid the beautiful emerald ring on her finger.

"...perfect" Bea mumbled, causing the blonde to look back at her.

Everything is, Poppy thought. It was as if Bea planned everything in months and the surroundings were a paid actor.

She placed her arms around the taller figure's neck, lowering Bea's forehead to hers. Her now fiance hugged her by the waist as she swayed both of them gradually. They shortly closed their eyes as Bea kissed Poppy's forehead slowly, then the latter rested her head on her shoulder.

Bea quietly looks up to the sky, thanking the universe for bringing them together up to this moment that will undoubtedly live in their minds forever.

(song ends here)

The pair walked back home hand to hand. Poppy's fear from their first route was overthrown by the joy as she admired the ring on her finger and her fiance beside her.

They decided to tell the news tomorrow morning, and boy did it shake up the whole farm. It became the talk of the town, Bea being their unofficial town ambassador after all. Most people took it well, but who cares? The pair is too busy occupied with planning their wedding.

They naturally bickered on who should come and how it'll look, but one thing's for sure.

They can't wait to get married.
