Kurt &Todd in love

Todd and Kurt were laying in bed together after a long date at the movies, KFC and paint-wars. They had been dating for three years. It had been bumpy at first but they soon filled up most of the cracks and after that it was a not so bumpy ride but still with a few bumps here and there. The two lovers were in their shared room in the institute on this calm night. Kurt was lying under Todd with his dressing gown on, with Todd lying on top of him, smiling and leaning on his hand. Kurt stroking his cheek sweetly. Todd took the hand and kissed it, smiling at Kurt. “I love you...” The frog teen smiled. “I love you....” smiled Kurt. Todd smiled then shook his head, moving to Kurt's side. “What's wrong my geliebte?” “Nothing yo......I was just thinking about when we first kissed.” “Ja......I remember! You were making fun of the books we were reading for English Class! I'll never forget that day!” (Flash Back) After Amanda and Kurt had broke up, Todd had been there to talk to him. Wanda had broken his heart one too many times, so he understood Kurt feeling down. It had been weird talking to Todd about his heart breaking but it was better than Scott or Professor X. Soon they became friends and hung out more. But 5 months later, Kurt and Todd were paired up in English class to do a paper on ''What Is Love.'' They groaned loudly but not because they were working together but because of the fact they knew NOTING about love! Kurt may of had a girlfriend but he still didn't know anything! Kurt and Todd then headed to the Library and ended up getting tons of Romance Novels. They hung out in Kurt's room and looked over all the books. After three hours Kurt had a new love for these books and Todd had never been so red. “I GIVE UP!” he yelled and threw the book on the bed where he laid. “I JUST don't get it!" Kurt looked at him puzzled. "What is it?" "These books don't make any sense yo. Love is about cheaters, waiting for your guy to come, making sure some dude don't find out you love him cus he's some player or some high and mighty snob, Princesses and Princes falling for the lower class, Rich dudes falling for you and other Crap I don't wanna think about?! DUDE! What the fu-” “TODD!” yelled Kurt. “Don't swear that word in my room! You can say it outside or in your own room but NOT in here!” Todd blushed and rubbed his head. “Sorry Kurt! But I can't under stand these books! I mean....” Standing up Todd stuck a pose like a handsome buff man. “I am Antonio Spain! A rich wealthy man who loves cute girls, who are shy and try not to fall for me!” Kurt laughed as Todd went on. "I am some high class arse who loves flirting with young farm woman and falling for a girl who is acting hard to get even thought she falls for me and kisses me every time in this kind of story line in chapter 5 or 6" Kurt laughed harder. "Let me try! Let me try!" He got up then hugged himself, looking mock lost and sad. “I am Amelia Poppy! I am a farm girl with no money and 3 hungry children! My husband died trying to keep our farm safe but was killed by his evil brother who wanted me to marry him instead!” Todd walked over and stuck a pose like he was showing off his muscles. “Hello beautiful lady! Shall I take you in my arms and kiss you! Then flirt with other women, making you doubt our love?” Kurt looked mock shy and red. “No! I am sorry but I have to marry my late husband's evil twin who hates my children and is never kind to me! He is the reason i am so unhappy around men! I can't trust them!” Todd snorted at this then, trying to stay in character, kissed his hand and then looked into his eyes, getting onto his knees. “But I love you! But I don't say it till your at the alter and about to say ''I do'' then after some mind numbing speech i whisk you away!” Kurt laughed. "Whisk? What am i, an egg?" he snorted. Todd laughed too. "Shush! Stay in charter!" Kurt nodded and pulled Todd up to him. “ Antonio! My love!” Todd held him close and dipped him. “ Amelia Poppy! Will you marry me and become my wife?!” Kurt tried not to laugh harder. “Yes my love! Oh My darling man!” They both puckered up as a joke but Todd stumbled a bit because of the way he was holding Kurt, so they ended up kissing for real. Kurt and Todd blushed but leaned in more, making each other kiss more passionately till they saw what they were doing and pulled away slowly. They stared at each-others and smiled. Kurt giggled. “I guess we really got into our acting!” Todd laughed too. “Yeah Yo'.....Wanna make out some more?” Kurt laughed but kissed Todd once more. They were kissing for a while till Kitty knocked on the door. “Kurt?! You in there?! I need something!” Todd and Kurt pulled away. “See ya!” yelled Todd then jumped out the window and hopped off. Kitty fazed in. "Kurt? You seen my text book i let you have-....You ok blue boy? Your really red" Kurt just smiled at her "I just found a new love for romance novels" he laughed then watched as Todd hopped over the fence. (end flashback!) Kurt laughed. "We ended up with B - after that. Then had the drama club begging us to join their 21st century version play of My Fair Lady...With ME as the girl" Kurt huffed. "Yeah babe, but i gave that kiss an A+ + yo" Todd laughed. "And you looked in that dress!" Kurt nudged him but smiled. "Ok, I looked good." Nudging his lover, Todd suddenly hissed in pain. He rubbed his left leg and sighed. "Still hurts after these 3 years" he sighed. Kurt nodded and rubbed it too. "I remember how THAT happened. I NEVER want that to happen again" (three years ago) Kurt and Todd had started to date each other after that kiss but kept it a secret. If they were seen hanging out, everyone just thought they were being friends, tho they did almost catch them kissing at some point. It wasn't until Pietro caught them kissing in the gym locker room that news got out. The X-men and The Brotherhood had not liked the idea of them hanging out but now that they knew the two teen boys were dating, made everyone go over the line. The Brotherhood Boys (plus Wanda) had cornered Todd at the mall and told him straight up he was in trouble for even dating one of the X-men. "I mean, befriending Kurt is one was one thing, but DATING HIM?! You know how that work out for me and Kitty!" Lance growled. "Yeah! Mystique would have your head on a platter if she knew you were going out with not only an X-men but her SON?! You will never last the night bro." Pietro smirked. Blob just shook his head. "You have to break up with him Toad!" Wanda sighed. "Their just gonna hurt you!....WE only want you safe." Todd glared at his so called friends and pushed them off. "You know what?! I LOVE Kurt way more than you EVER loved Kitty! You just liked her cus she was some cute girl who could help you cheat on some test. I can handle boss lady when that bridge comes! And for the record WAN-DA, Kurt dose this thing where he calls me by my REAL name and not my nickname which you make sound like a bad taste! When he calls me Toad, he says it with love! Even if we're fighting! You know i loved you for months but all i got was BAM! blasted into a wall so forget you WANDA! I never recall you guys saving me or even caring about my well being! Kurt looks after me when I'm hurt, or sick or even stressed out! You guys have never once said you cared, so up your you guys!" With that he had hoped off to find Kurt. With Kurt it was the same. Once he got home from a date with Todd, Scott and the gang had grabbed him. They sat him down on the couch in the living room. "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!" Scott yelled. "YOUR DATING TOAD TOLANSKY?! THAT SLIME-BALL?!" "That is, like,....the most gross thing you can DO Kurt. He's, like,.....you know, one of THEM!" Kitty screeched. "I can't believe i didn't see this in your mind!" Jean sighed. "Why on earth are you dating him?!" "They're right little brother! That toad is nothing but a little dirty rat in frogs clothing! Ah think you should get out while you still can, before that boy dose some REAL trouble!" Kurt growled and stood up only to get pushed back down by Scott "I *ugh!* I'm dating TODD because i like him! and we're good friend's. We've been dating for while and i don't think i ever asked you if i could date him!" he snarled. Todd is no the person you think he is!" "YOur right. He's even WORST!" laughed Rouge. "No! He's sweet, kind, loving and a better friend than SCott was when i broke up with my girlfriend! He's way better than anyone i have met and you can't say otherwise!" "But he's a Brotherhood Boy and is trouble!" Kitty sighed. "Like Lance-" "SHUT UP! Todd is nothing like Lance! Unlike you Kitty, he never used me for test" "YEs he did!" Kitty yelled back. "SO what?! At least we don't break up ever week then get back together days later! I trust him as much as he trusts me! He loves me and i love him back! We may not be prefect but at least i HAVE someone, unlike you, you brain dead, fazing, hypocrite, bitch!" Kurt yelled then poofed off to find Todd. He need a hug. They found each other in the park and had told the other what had happened. After that, Todd sat down with his boyfriend under their favorite tree and held his lover tighter. Kurt needed a hug the most. He had thought his friend would have given him a chance to explain but they didn't. "They....they just told me you were no good for me! What say do THEY have! I never ask them if we could date! I never ask them if you were right for me!.....What say do they have?"! cried the bafing teen. Todd just sighed and held him close. "I know....I didn't think my friends would care or not. I was just happy to get over that stupid witch and to find someone who loves me......Warts and all." Kurt giggled and kissed Todd sweetly. "I love you Todd Tolansky. Your the greatest person in my life" Todd smiled and kissed back. "And i love you too Kurt Wagner. Your my angel" he giggled. Kurt smiled when suddenly they herd the prof in their minds. "Kurt! Todd! We need your help!" "AGH! Jeez Prof! Give us a warring!" Todd growled. "What is it?" Kurt asked, feeling worried. "You have to go to the old building site that the Brotherhood Boys Tore up last week" Todd mumbled something which sounded like. "We said sorry" "Why?" Kurt gulped. "Scott and the others are meeting Todd's friends there to fight! You two have to go and stop them!" Todd and Kurt gasped and got up. "We're on it Prof!" TOdd sighed. "Good. I shall meet you there" he sighed in their heads then when Todd was sure he was gone he grabbed Kurt and kissed him deeply. He looked into his lovers eyes sadly. "No matter what happens. I want you to remember that i love you. No matter what...I. LOVE. YOU." Kurt blushed and hugged him. "I love you too Todd........Lets go" Sighing they transported off to their fighting friends. Everyone was in gear and in an old building site. Everyone was blasting their powers left and right. Eye beams, Spike's spikes, Wand's magic, Jean's mind powers, Kitty fazing through stuff and Lance trying to burry everyone. Pietro rushed passed everyone. Once they had arrived, Kurt and Todd jumped onto the highest bean they could find. "Mien friends! Stop this!" "HEY! CUT IT OUT!" Todd yelled. Everyone looked up at them. "What the hell is wrong with ya! You guys are being stupid!" Todd growled. "Why the hell are you fighting!" "It's the only way to settle this! " Lance growled. "You can't date an X-man!" "You dated Kitty!" Kurt sighed. "That's different! She's just a girl who i thought was cute! Now she's just some dumb bimbo." Pietro laughed. "She's WAY more dumber than a bimbo!" Jean held back Kitty. "Let me at them!" she hissed. Soon everyone was yelling and shouting. Kurt and Todd sighed when suddenly, Todd saw that Blob was going to hit Scott with the biggest bolder he had ever seen! Without thinking Todd jumped over to him and pushed him just as the bolder landed on his leg. His screams stopped everyone. When Kurt saw him hurt he bamfed to his side and tried to push it off him but no luck. Blob felt guilty and pulled the rock off. Kurt fell to his lovers side and hugged him tightly. “Oh Todd!” he cried. “Mein Liebling Kröte! Oh süßer Engel! Du bist verletzt! " Todd smiled and kissed his nose. “Hey babe! I'm ok!” Kurt shook his head. “Your NOT ok! Your leg!" It was bent three different ways" "......I...I blame my self! I never should of kissed you in the locker room! I should of just run away with you like you said months ago. We'd be happier!” Todd shook his head and kissed Kurt's forehead. “No Fluffy. YOU were right. I should of told the truth when everyone asked why we hung out so much....I was just scared of Wand's wrath....and Lance's mostly.. Running away wasn't the right thing to do. I'm one who's sorry” Kurt shook his head. Sighing Todd sat up, best he could, and looked into Kurt's eyes. “Kurt?” “Ja, meine geliebten” Kurt sobbed. Todd smiled. “Ich habe Ihnen von dem Tag euch geliebt habe und ich entschied mich, Freunde zu sein. Ich habe nie aufgehört, dich zu lieben oder Pflege. Ich würde bis an die Enden der Welt laufen und zurück für Sie. Ich will mit dir sein, egal, was sie sagen! Ich liebe dich, Kurt Wagner! Your My Angel in blauen Pelz!  Ich liebe dich, Kurt! " Todd smiled as Kurt gasped. He had used his native tongue! Kurt smiled and hugged him. “You learned German!” Smiling the green teen kissed him. “I did it for you Kurt! I really do love you! I told you before we came here that no matter what, i will always love you.” “And that is a good reason to stop this war and turn over a new leaf” Everyone looked up to see Professor X and Storm. They were smiling. Scott looked confused. “What do you mean Professor?” Storm smiled. “Kurt and Todd are very much in love and Todd DID save your life Scott without thinking. I know you lot have fought with each other before but it looks Todd ad Kurt have over come their hate and found love. I think they have shown that fighting is not going to stop these two from being together. Don't you think it's time we stopped? Maybe we should all be friends” Everyone thought it over. Maybe they were right......Todd – at the Risk of losing his life or his leg- had saved Scott. And here was Kurt, holding his lover closely, tears of sadness and happiness dripping off his cheeks. Sighing, nobody moved, then to everyone surprise, Scott walked over to Lance and held out his hand. “Peace?” he asked. Lance looked shocked but smiled and shook Scott’s hand. “Sure! But we can still beat your butts!” Scot smirked and nodded. “Shall we settle this later in the training room?” Lance laughed. “HA! Your on Summer's!” Everyone laughed. A few mouths later Kurt was sitting by Todd's side in his room and sighing. “Why can't you guys move in with us?” he asked. Todd sighed. “Prof said there's no room's yet and we like it here! Besides! It feels like home to us Brotherhood Boys!” Kurt looked sad. Todd lifted his chin and kissed him. "As of right now, i wanna stay here till there's room. You guys are still fixing that damn bulling for the 5th time" he laughed then hugged him. "I swear, once it's done, we can all move in...and we can split a room. Just you and I yo" Kurt giggled and kissed Todd. “I love you Toad” The green teen smirked. “And I love you Night-Crawler” (end flashback) "I'm glad Beast will be able to fix it tomorrow AND I still can't believe you learned german for me just to say i love you" Kurt laughed, nuzzling Todd's neck with his nose. "I know! It took me two weeks to get it all right! I even got Prof to help me!" the green skinned teen laughed. "TWO WEEKS?!" Kurt laughed. "You never told me THAT!" "Well....I didn't think you need to know about how long i took but just that i learned it." Kurt smirked and hugged him closer. "You were always trying to be sweet...Remember after everyone got over the fact we were dating and you wanted to be romantic on Valentines day?" Todd groaned and sighed. "HOW can i forget it!" (FLASH BACK!) It was Friday afternoon at Bay High and Todd had made plans to woo Kurt! He had been planing for weeks! And now he could do it! It was Valentine Day! Todd ran down the hall to Kurt's locker and found Kurt talking with Kitty. “Please Kurt! I think Evan's up to something! He's not talking to me and he's acting weird! I mean.....I am his girlfriend! I even called him last night- Evan and Kitty had hooked up at a party for Jean's birthday after Evan saved her from some drunk losers who didn't take ''Piss off you jerks!” as an answer. “- And then he told me that he can't dance! Kurt........What should I do?! Evan said he's go with me!” Kurt just smiled and hugged her. “Trust me Kitty. He has something Great planned!” Kitty then began to question Kurt about what her boyfriend was up to when see spotted Todd coming over to them and looking like he was trying not to faint. “H-h-h-h-hi K-k-k-kurt. How....how are you today?” Kurt turned around and smiled. “I'm very fine thank you!” he smiled then kissed his boyfriend's cheek. Todd felt his heart jump 3 feet. "Hey Todd. You ok? Your, like, really red" Kitty pointed out. Kurt nodded and felt his forehead. "You are warm." Todd pulled away and smiled. "I just have something for you" he spoke softly, smiling that boyish smile Kurt loved. "What is it?" Kurt asked puzzled. Todd smiled and showed Kurt what he had behind his back. “Here! I got this for you!” It was a box of home made German chocolate and a small bouquet of Kurt's favorite flower from home. Peonies Kurt smiled and took the gifts. “Oh...Todd, their great!...But why did you get them for me?” Todd blushed and shuffled his foot. “I thought it be nice.....or a nice way to ask if......if you'd be my valantine?” Kurt's face turned bright red and he looked away. “I....I um....Well...I......” Todd looked heart broken. “Oh.....Sorry....Maybe i didn't do it right. Jean said flowers and chocolate work most of the time and...I'll go” Todd started to walk away when a hand grabbed his shoulder and stopped him. “Vait! I didn't give mien answer!” Todd turned around and felt a soft pair of lips kiss his. “I'd love to be your valentine you idiot! I AM your boyfriend” Todd smiled and cheered. “YES!” he smiled and danced around, making Kurt laugh and pull him into a kiss. Todd blushed and kissed back, earning cat calls from the group around them. *End Flash Back* Kurt laughed. “You were so hyper when I said yes” Todd laughed. “Yeah I was.....And that kiss was the most perfect one!.......till we kissed again on our date” Kurt nodded and sighed and he cuddled into his lover. Todd smiled and kissed his head. Kurt looked thoughtful. Suddenly he sighed and buried his face into the frog's chest. “What?” Todd asked, hugged Kurt to him. The blue teen sighed and looked up at him. “I just remember the first time we had sex and mom walked in when we were done......I still feel the fear I felt that day” Todd paled and sighed as he rubbed his eyes. “God I do......She had never even knew about us till that night!” *FLASH BACK* Todd smiled as he laid next to his lover. Todd and Kurt were at the institute and were done having sex. It was their 7th date and first time. “That......was great” Todd laughed and pulled a small lime lolly from the bed side and placed it in his mouth. Kurt looked to him and laughed. “You look like your smoking” he laughed. Todd laughed. “I'm always smoking! But not as much as you babe” Kurt laughed and kissed his again. Todd smiled and pulled his lollie and placed it on the table then climbed onto his lover and kissed his slowly but passionately again. Kurt pulled away and stocked his face. “I love you Todd.....I'm glad we met” Todd smiled, his eyes shining brightly. “Me too Kurt” Todd was about to kiss him again when the door bashed open and in came Mystique, red faced and mad like hell. Todd and Kurt gulped and knew she was mad. “What......is going....on?” Kurt tried to speak as did Todd but they couldn’t talk. "Why are you naked, where is the house and WHY IS TODD IN HERE WITH YOU?!" she screamed. Kurt tried to talk when the all fast talking, BIG mouth had to look in and open his mouth. “Those two? They were just having sex but now their done. * looks at them* Bravo! Good try for the first time in a year” “HOW LONG?!” she yelled and ran at Todd, eyes burning red. *FLASH BACK* Kurt laughed. “You vere jumping all over the place! You look like you did when Scott put hot sauce in your socks” Todd blushed and sighed. “Yeah.......It was lucky Freddy grabbed her and i was saved.....You know...I'm pretty happy to be with you" The elf mutant smiled and kissed his lover's neck. "Hey Kurt?” Kurt looked to him. “Yes love?” Todd gulped and sat up. “Um.....How long have we been dating?” Kurt thought for a sec. “......Three years. Why?” Todd smiled and opened the bedside table then pulled out a small box. “I want you to have this. It took me a lot of jobs to get this.....many of the boys and the X- do- I mean men helped too.” Kurt sat up crossed legged and opened the small box and gasped. He placed a hand over his mouth as he looked at the blue sapphire heart inside the gold band. There was writing too. It said in German ''Forever shall we be together'' Kurt looked to Todd and had tears in his eyes. “What....is this?” Todd smiled and placed the ring on Kurt's blue fury finger. “Kurt Wagner...I have loved you for a long time and now I want it to be forever. Will.....Will you marry me?” Kurt started to cry and nodded as he hugged his lover. “YES! Yes I will marry you!” Toad laughed happily and hugged him tighter as they looked into each other eyes and hugged. "I love you Toad." "I love you too Nightcrawler" Todd laughed and kissed Kurt into the bed once more. The end. (1) (A/N beloved) (2) I have loved you from the day you and i decided to become friends. I have never stopped loving you or caring. I would run to the ends of the world and back for you. I want to be with you no matter what they say! I love you Kurt Wagner! Your my angel in blue fur! I love you Kurt

To Pidge

based on the small langst fic I wrote recently

you’ll have to read it to understand the purpose of this one. it’s called At Peace. you can read it here

...

“Mmaaaattttt,” Pidge groans in her seat. Her and Matt had been telling each other stories about the adventures during their time apart, until they came across an asteroid field they couldn’t get around. You see, although they’d rescued Matt months ago, they had such little time to reconnect and actually talk.

The ex-green paladin let Matt concentrate though and in turn gave in to her heavy eyelids. She had been so excited to get back to Earth she couldn’t sleep the night before.

But now Matt had successfully gotten through the field, and Pidge was wide awake. “Kaaaatiiiiie,” her brother replies in a teasing tone.

Pidge wrinkles her nose in disdain at that.

Matt chuckles at her reaction. “Would you prefer I call you Pidge?”

The small blond nods enthusiastically at the suggestion, “Just for a little bit if you’re not comfortable with it.”

The older sibling clicks his tongue at his sister’s unsure behaviour. “Pidge, don’t worry about that, I’ll call you chicken wing if you ask me to. It’s all up to you. But don’t forget you’re a Holt.”

“Of course, bro. Gunderson sounds ridiculous anyway-”

“You have a message,” spoke Pidge’s watch. A second later, Matt’s watch let out the same robotic tone.

The two siblings look at each other before looking back to their watches, Matt putting the pod on auto-pilot first, of course.

“It’s a video from Lance,” Pidge notes. Matt nods his head in agreement.

Suddenly, both teens gasp upon noticing a small detail in the file’s thumbnail. The older teen speaks up first, “Is he... crying?”

This looks serious, Pidge thinks to herself. “Let’s use headphones just in case we have different videos.”

Matt nods and hands his sister a pair; two sets were placed in his lap as soon as he saw the tears in the ex-blue paladins eyes. Pidge pulls up a holographic screen from her watch, in the corner of her eye, she sees her brother do the same. She takes a deep breath as she connects the Bluetooth of the headphones to her watch.

As soon as it’s finished loading, Pidge hits play. The screen is black at first. A few seconds later, Lance’s face comes into view.

He looks like death. Tears stain his cheeks in a steady stream, the bags under his eyes were deeper than ever, and his cheekbones were poking out more than usual. Immediately, Pidge’s sibling instinct kicks in, as her and Lance were the closest on the team, next to Hunk of course. I knew you weren’t okay, and I tried to help.... but you weren’t this bad. Lance, what happened to you?

“Hey, Pidge. O-Or Katie? I’m not sure what you prefer after you’ve reunited with you brother,” Lance chuckles sadly in a shaky voice.

Pidge’s face is already wet with tears. How could I let you fall into this state?

“Either way, I want to say thank you. Next to Hunk, you were the biggest support system to me. You were there when I needed you,” the Cuban takes a deep, trembling breath. “And I don’t want to die with you thinking it was your fault, or that you could have done something to help. Oh, that sounded worse. Just. This isn’t your fault Pidge.”

What isn’t my fault? But Pidge doesn’t fool herself. She knows exactly what Lance is talking about. Sobs racking her body, she reaches out to her brother, who simply lets her fall onto her chest and hugs her tight.

Lance scratches at the back of his neck. “Agh, this already sounds bad. Pidgeon, I’m going to be honest with you. You’re the first video. You’re the first person I made a video for. And I’m sorry to say, I’m not sure why. But I know you’re important to me. And I wouldn’t want you to think otherwise.” More tears fall down his face and a sob escapes his mouth, but he’s able to keep himself contained. “Pidge, in case you haven’t figured it out already, which I doubt, because you’re an extremely smart young lady. I’m going to kill myself.”

A sob takes over Pidge’s entire body as she finds herself pausing the video. For a few minutes, she lays curled up in her brother’s lap sobbing loudly and ugly, her entire body twitching with each breath. Her brother continues watching his own video, quiet tears falling down his cheeks, his mouth left agape.

After fifteen minutes of crying to herself and sinking in the fact, Pidge decides she’s not ready to continue watching -and she never will be- but she knows she needs to finish the video.

The blond girl wipes her eyes and replaces her glasses on her nose. With a small sniffle, Pidge presses play.

“Now, don’t freak out,” it’s a little too late, “I’m not doing this over any event in particular. And don’t bother trying to stop me, by the time you’re watching this it’ll be too late. I’m just. I’m tired, Pidge. I’m tired of lying. To you, your brother, Allura, Keith. Myself. Truth is, Pidge, you know that picture you saw of my family?”

“Yes,” the vulnerable girl answers even though she knows he doesn’t hear her.

“Well, it’s a fake. I don’t really have a family to come back home to. You guys were the closest thing I had to a family, the paladins of Voltron, Allura, Coran, you were my family.” Lance sobs again, this time a bit longer. “I have no one else, no one to go to, and you guys were all heading somewhere, with some place to be. Remember when I said I was going to confess to Keith? Tell him I love him? Start a family with him? That was my last resort, Pidge. No, it wasn’t Keith’s fault, there’s nothing wrong with him finding someone who loves him. I know it’s cowardly, and I’m sure if it was anyone else, they would have held on to hope and find someone who would love them. But I’m not someone else. I’m not strong and I’m me. I’m Lance. Nobody needs me. I can’t hinder someone like that.

“I love you, Pidge, all of you, but I can’t stand living like this anymore. I can’t stand being by myself, looking for purpose, looking for a reason. A reason to stay. I’m sorry I couldn’t hold on longer. Don’t feel guilty, Pidgeon. In fact, you can feel happy, happy that I’m gone, and at peace. Peace with my decision, and peace within the heavens. I’m not holding anyone back anymore. I’m free. So don’t feel sad, Pidge. In fact, my funeral should be festive. Play some Beyonce at that shit, get all the single ladies on stage,” he chuckles sadly. “All laughs aside, I’m glad you were my friend, Pidgeon. I’m glad you were there for me, and I’m happy that you let me be there for you, too.I’ll miss you, Pidge, and I hope you’ll miss me too.” Lance gives a small wave before reaching forward and the video stops.

And time along with it. The pod is silent. Matt’s video was apparently shorter, because he was already staring into space, his grip on Pidge strong and weak at the same time.

“Is he really gone?” the shrunken girl asks in a small, raspy voice. Tears continued to pour from her eyes like rivers, each dropping falling bringing her closer to the cold realization.

She felt her brother nod softly and press a kiss to her forehead. They cried there, together, for hours. Each trying to put on a brave face, be the strong sibling.

Each failing.

...

Well, that was absolute shit.

I wish I could supply you with a better version, but this is basically the best I can do. Hopefully the other videos will be better.

Thanks for reading guys.

Quartz Sisters and Ice Cream

Jasper and Amethyst get ice cream.

~~~

Is it too late to back out? Of course it is. I’m not saying I’m scared, but the mere thought of what I’m about to do leaves a sick feeling in the back of my throat.

Amethyst and I walk down the boardwalk, eliciting curious stares from humans who weren’t native to this region, or “tourists,” as Amethyst calls them. I hate them. One pulls out a communication device, poised to record me, and I’m almost compelled to slap it from their hand. Knowing that it would only look poorly on me–and I really am trying to be nicer–I simply throw them an angry look. To my relief, Amethyst also gives them a warning glare, and at the threat of a double-Quartz altercation, the human backs down.

Smart move, human.

“So, you excited?” Amethyst asks, bringing me back to the source of my anxiety. I look down at the smaller gem, and I can see two things clearly on her face: she knows I’m nervous and she is enjoying every moment of it.

“Please.” I grumble, rolling my eyes. “Humans do this stuff all the time, right?”

“Eating? Oh yeah,” Amethyst chuckles. “From what I heard it’s supposed to be three times a day, but where’s the fun in that?” She elbows my thigh as if know what she’s talking about before trotting ahead of me. “Here it is!”

She stops in front of a woefully tiny shop with “Cone ‘N’ Son” emblazoned across a little sign, gesturing wildly as humans move to avoid her. She’s grinning widely, excitedly, and I almost feel bad about how apprehensive I feel. I mean, it can’t be that bad, right? Maybe some of my bad feelings are from–dare I say it?–listening to Pearl. At least it’s just Amethyst, plus a few humans who probably don’t care.

I can do this, I can do this, I repeat in my head, the artificial confidence pushing me forward as Amethyst pushes through the door in front of me. I have to duck and walk sideways just to fit through the puny door, and of course Amethyst has laugh at me the entire time. The young human behind the counter was only mildly shocked by the intrusion, and had recovered his wits by the time Amethyst slapped some currency down in front of him.

“Hello, welcome to Cone ‘N’ Sons!” He greeted in a chipper voice. “How may I help you?”

“Hey, Chip,” Amethyst replies, having been here before. “I’ll have the usual” –the teen’s face droops a bit as she says this– “And my girl Jasper here can get whatever she wants.”

Chip sighs, taking the money from the counter and taking out the sum of Amethyst’s purchase. Tentatively, I approach the counter, looking down at a multitude of colored deserts. To his credit, the teen doesn’t shy away as I approach.

“What’ll you have?” Amethyst asks beside me.

I’m at a loss for words, totally bewildered by the choices before me. As one can imagine, Homeworld has never been too keen on “choice,” given that a gem is made for a specific purpose and is provided with everything they could possibly need to fulfill it. For such a seemingly mundane task, it’s embarrassingly liberating, and frustratingly difficult.

Amethyst shakes my elbow, still waiting for an answer.

“Hey, want me to order for you?” She asks. The teen has already left to concoct Amethyst’s order; I can see him in the back room, gagging at whatever the “usual” is.

“No! I’m not stupid,” I reply irritably, glaring through the glass counter as if the answer would come to me.

“Eh, that’s debatable,” she drawls, throwing up her palms as I turn my glare on her. “Kidding! Look, maybe you should start easy. I mean, ice cream is one of the easier treats, hence why we’re here and not the Big Donut, but still. Ooh!” She runs over to the other end of the counter. “Here, everyone loves chocolate.”

For some reason, the idea offends me. “Try something easy? Me?” Without thinking, I slap my hand down onto the counter’s surface, cracking it. “Do you know who you’re talking to?! I don’t need easy!”

“Woah! Okay, okay, jeez! Stop breaking stuff!” Amethyst calls, pulling at my hand. “You can have what I’m having, but I don’t wanna make the poor boy cry.”

“You’re taste is disgusting.”

Amethyst snorts. “Been listening to Pearl, huh?”

“No!”

Chip comes back, holding a monstrosity of a dish, piled high with all kinds of things that undoubtedly didn’t go on ice cream. I can’t identify anything on there, but by the look on the teen’s face, he seems to regret every single instance that has led up to this moment.

“H-here you go,” he all but gags, relieved when she finally removes it. He then gazes at me pleadingly. “And what about you?”

“Give her the five most unpopular flavors,” Amethyst cuts in, saving me the hassle, and Chip is more than happy to comply.

We leave quickly as he is placing the rest of the money in the cash register, before he can notice the destruction of property. The mixture he handed me certainly doesn’t look like anything significant, but it’s definitely more interesting than the chocolate, packed into a cardboard container and melting in the hot midday sun. It does look good, I decide, stabbing it with my tiny plastic utensil as we find a place to sit on the beach, away from the disturbance of humans. That doesn’t exclude the disturbance of seagulls, however, and we are forced to move three different times before finding an ideal place.

We plop down in the sand, carefully of the dripping deserts, and look out at the water for a second. Idly, I stir the spoon around, but before I decide to remove it, I feel eyes watching me.

“Uh, do you mind?”

“I’m sorry, but this is, like, you’re first big human thing!” Amethyst replies excitedly. “Besides sleeping, anyways. I wanna remember it so I can tease you about it later.”

I can’t help but smile, always stricken at the best of times by this new-old warmth towards someone I’ve come to care. I jab the spoon into the first scoop one last time–a white ice cream with round bits in it–and lift it up, annoyingly small in my hands. I take my first bite…

“Oh my stars…”

“Good, isn’t it?!”

My mind can’t even begin to process it. I take another bite, and it’s even better than the first. I take a bite of a bright green scoop and it’s even better than that, and suddenly I can’t stop long enough to answer. I can’t even stop to smack Amethyst as she laughs at me, but I couldn’t care less at this moment. After awhile, Amethyst digs into her own slop, and we’re just enjoying the moment.

It’s so sweet and smooth and cold. I hate the cold normally, but apparently it’s different when it’s inside my mouth. So many flavors that I just can’t place, but they definitely taste better than dirt, after having your face plowed into the ground by an enemy. Just a couple bites releases tension I didn’t even know I was carrying. It’s almost addicting, and I have to quietly remind myself to slow down.

Thankfully, and unfortunately, I didn’t have to.

“Agh!” I cry, grabbing my face as an unusual pain shoots between my eyes and Amethyst grabs my arm in concern.

“Hey, Jasp, you okay?”

I pound my fist lightly against my forehead, willing the feeling to go away. “Ow.”

“Oh man,” Amethyst whispered, then more loudly, “oh man! Do you have brain freeze? You can get brain freeze?!”

“What the heck is brain freeze?!” I cry.

“I’ll bet your gem placement makes your face more sensitive,” she laughs. “Dude! What if Pearl get’s brain freeze? Or Peridot? Oh.” She continues, seeing me still cringing beside her. “Yeah, it happens when you eat ice cream too fast. I don’t get it, but I also don’t have a gem on my face.” She reaches up to touch my gem and I smack her hand away.

As uncomfortable as I am, I still see this as not so much of a deterrent as it is an incentive I needed to eat slower. The pain subsides after a little bit and I’m left to enjoy the moment again, reveling in sugary goodness.

“Know what? You’re gonna eat plain old cookie dough next,” Amethyst states matter-of-factly, pointing at one of the leftover bits in my container. “Good stuff. Oh, but first you gotta try doughnuts!” She snorts obnoxiously, and I already know what she’s going to say before she says it. “It won’t give you brain freeze!”
