I'll Be Back

Chapter 3

Ch.1 Ch.2 Ch.4 Ch.5. Ch.6. Ch.7. Ch.8.

About: Amelia 'Amy' Vargas had everything going for her. Her dream dog, big house, and in the honeymoon phase with her husband Alejandro Vargas. Her worst fear comes true when Alejandro is KIA during a mission. Or so she thinks. He comes back home, seemingly normal and like his usual self, but Rodolfo, who witnessed his death, is very suspicious.

Each chapter will have individual warnings

!Warnings!: Sprinkle of Suggestive Talk

“Do you need any help, amar?” Alejandro’s voice broke my thoughts.

It’s been about a week since Alejandro has been home and today was the day that all of the guys were coming over to hang out. I was baking them some homemade lasagna as well as some garlic bread.

“No, I’m good, Ale, but thank you.” I say, beaming up at him.

Alejandro leaned down and kissed my neck, making me sigh in content.

“I'll be sure to repay you greatly later~.” Alejandro's dropped an octave, sending chills down my spine.

“I'll take you up on that offer then.” I flirt back, as Alejandro held my chin and made me look deep into his eyes, “but not right now. Our guests will be here soon.”

“Fastidiar.” Alejandro mumbled as he pulled away from me and continued to finish cleaning up our place.

I rolled my eyes at him, knowing that deep down it was because he loves me. I stuck the lasagna into the oven, setting the timer for forty minutes.

“That already smells so good, querida.” Alejandro complimented.

“Thank you, babe.” I say, “should we put Winston up for Johnny?”

“I asked him about that and he said he was fine with Winston. Sent him a picture and everything.” Alejandro informed me.

I nodded in response. Johnny has always disliked dogs due to the fact that he was attacked by so many at once during a mission he was on and he was by himself. I don't fault him for that at all but Winston loves everyone. I looked over to find Ale coddling Winston, as if Winston was a human baby. I smiled seeing that image. Imagine what he would do with our own child. Speaking of…

“You look adorable like that.” I comment.

“Hm?”

“Coddling him.” I say.

“What does that mean?” Alejandro smirked.

“I mean, well, if you're like that with a dog imagine how you would be with a human.” I comment, hoping he'd understand what I'm putting down.

A smug smirk painted on Alejandro’s face.

“You said later, so later It will be.” He remarked.

“Lo que.” I mumble, turning my back to him and hearing him chuckle in response.

You're such an ass sometimes Vargas but I surely don't regret marrying you.

“Winston, this is Johnny.” I introduced Winston to Johnny.

“Put yo’ damn hand ou’ for him Johnny.” Price commented as Johnny slowly crouched down to Winston's level.

Of course Winston was wagging his tail with his ears perked up at Johnny but I could tell Johnny was a little nervous.

“He won't bite, hermano. I promise.” Alejandro reassured him.

Johnny nodded as he reached out and petted Winston on his head, Winston immediately licking his hand and smelling him.

“Told you.” Simon mumbled.

Johnny laughed as Winston walked up to Johnny and giving him a few licks on his face.

“Alrigh’ Winston is good in my book.” Johnny announced.

“Huzzah!” I exclaimed out loud, making everyone chuckle.

*BEEPBEEPBEEP*

“Lasagna's ready.” I announce.

“It smells delightful, Mrs. Vargas.” Gaz told me.

“Gaz, I told you, just Amy is alright.” I reassure him.

“Sorry, sorry.” Gaz said, knowing I was joshing him.

As Johnny and them sat down at the dining table, Alejandro came to help me out.

“Please Amelia, let me take over.” Alejandro begged.

“No it's fine Ale, I promise.” I reassure him.

I then leaned in close to his ear.

“You still owe me that payback tonight.”

Alejandro chuckled as he pecked my temple.

“I won't forget.” He remarked with a smirk.

Putting our feelings aside, Alejandro and I set the table and put the dishes and the dessert I made in the middle of the table.

“Gracias por esta comida, Amelia.” Rudy thanked me.

“De nada, Rudy.” I said with a smile.

“It smells bloody fucking good.” Price commented, eyeballing the dish.

“Well, dig in y'all.” I said.

Quick as a flash, everyone got their hands on the dish, with Alejandro making sure I still got some despite not minding on not being able to get the first portion. In any normal setting, Alejandro always makes sure I eat first before he does, even if he just came back from a mission. We all ate in silence, but that to me is just a compliment in my eyes.

“This is delicious, Amelia.” Simon spoke first, seeing his plate was nearly finished.

“Thank you, Simon.”

Simon had his balaclava off with just a black medical mask on his face. I never knew he was blonde until right after Alejandro and Los Vaqueros took down El Sin Nombre, but it suits him. Other times we have met up, Simon has worn his balaclava if we met up in public, but if we met at each other’s houses, he just opts for the medical mask. Johnny says it has taken him a while to even wear the balaclava mask over his normal Ghost mask so I know it will take a while for him to go maskless, in which he can take all the time that he needs.

“I second that.” Price added.

Everyone was non stop complimenting the dish and the dessert I made and it made me feel so good about myself. Besides being Alejandro’s wife, it made me feel like I had another purpose, in a weird way.

“Alejandro, you're such a liar!”

“¡No soy un maldito mentiroso!” Alejandro cursed at Johnny.

“What?” I asked, finally joining in on their conversation.

“During our mission together, I caught him kissing a picture of you.” Johnny said.

Almost immediately a deep red blush emitted on Alejandro’s face.

“Aww, you did miss me, Ale.” I joked, nudging him on the arm with my shoulder.

In one swift movement, Alejandro quickly grabbed my face and smashed his lips onto mine. The entire crew went ‘OOOO” in a loud uproar, except for Simon, who just shook his head at the immaturity of his crew. Alejandro sneered his eyes at me as he smirked at me.

“Te burlas de una mujer.”

“Por eso soy Vargas.” I smirk back.

“Oi you two get a room why don't ya!” Johnny exclaimed in a joking manner.

“Sorry, sorry.” Alejandro flustered as he apologized, pulling away from me.

“Dinner and dessert was lovely, Mrs. Vargas. I mean-Amy.” Gaz told me.

“Why thank you Gaz.” I said.

“Now, whose up for a game of never have I ever?” Johnny suggested.

Oh boy.

“Alrigh’. Never, uh have I ever-”

“Read the bloody fucking card, Soap.” Simon grumbled at Johnny, who is not holding his alcohol down well.

“I am! Never have I ever gone skinny dipping.”

Shit. I know Alejandro is eyeing me right now. Why oh why? Oh fuck it. Alejandro and I grabbed our drink in unison and sipped it, hearing the entire dining room be emitted with gasps.

“When did it happen?!” Johnny exclaimed.

“Whenever we first got together. We were drinking by the pond and well, yeah.” Alejandro briefly said, not wanting to go into it anymore for a good reason.

“Ale I'm not sure if this is a good idea!” I silently yelled as he started stripping.

“Come onnn, have some fun chica!” Alejandro slurred his words a little, absolutely smashed from the alcohol we were drinking.

I was about to yell at him until he stripped his shirt off. Despite it being pitch black outside, the moon was bright enough to emit light onto him. I could see his perky chest, his big arms and toned skin. Oh my God, he is hot. So hot. I turned away from being flustered.

“Que? You scared to look?” Alejandro smirked.

“Uh no! I just didn't..I don't know!”

Alejandro chuckled, knowing that he did indeed caught me looking. He then reached down and pulled his jeans off. Shit, his legs were big as well. He could squeeze me head with those thighs.

Wait, what?

Amelia stop!

“You're gonna get your clothes wet?” Alejandro asked.

“N-No, I'm gonna..” I trailed off, procrastinating as much as I could.

“What's wrong, Amelia?” Alejandro asked me as he walked up to me, sobering up a little bit.

Alejandro got close to me, making my heart race. We just got together and he wants to go skinny dipping?! It's not the fact that he wants to swim naked, it's the fact that I know he is going to look down on me for how I look.

“Amelia. Look at me.” Alejandro pleaded as he held my chin.

I looked up at him and he held my chin in place to avoid me looking down.

“Am I being too much?”

“No, you're not Ale. You're just..not going to like how I look.” I confess.

“Eso es una mierda.” Alejandro growled in annoyance.

“It's true. It's not bullshit.”

Alejandro slammed his lips onto mine, immediately running his tongue over my lips. I softly moaned into the kiss, feeling him force his tongue into my mouth. I had no idea what was happening but it all felt so good. So, so good. After a few seconds, Alejandro pulled his lips away, but remained close.

“You are beautiful, querida. Join me in the water.” Alejandro said.

Before I could even protest, Alejandro stripped his boxers off, holy shit, and jumped into the water. He rose back up, flicking his long, jet black hair out of his face.

“Water feels great!” He calls out to me.

I tiptoed close to the water, afraid of him seeing me. The water tickled my toes, but it was lukewarm at best.

“I’ll turn around.” Alejandro offered, swimming around to turn his back to me.

I waited a few seconds to see if he would peek and he didn’t.

“I won’t peek I promise.” He reassured me, as if he was reading my mind.

I sighed deeply, feeling relaxed and calm as I stripped my clothes off, tossing them next to Alejandro’s. Alejandro kept his back turned as I got into the water, making sure my entire body was submerged in the water as I swam towards him.

“Thank you for not peeking.” I mumbled, announcing my presence.

Alejandro whipped around, smiling big seeing me there.

“Of course. Why would I?”

I shrugged my shoulders, for I didn’t have any reason to think that way with him. I can tell that Alejandro was catching on.

“You don’t have to tell me, but I am right here and here for you. You don’t have to worry about anything with me, hermosa.” Alejandro cooed to me.

I giggled in response, feeling flustered.

“Thank you, Ale.”

“Ale?”

“Your name is a mouthful sometimes.” I joke.

Alejandro laughed, seeing the alcohol slowly wearing off.

“Well then can I call you Amy then?” He asked.

“Of course, Ale.”

Alejandro then leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my lips that wasn’t sexual in any way, just full of love. Infinite love.

sagau with the language barrier issue except... the creator is sick and tired of trying to ask for things so they do everything themself.

and it gives their followers mass anxiety bc they can't even ask what you're doing... bc they know they won't understand anything...

SUCH A GENIUS NARVI 10/10 GOOD WORK SORRY IM SUPER LATE BUT THIS IS *chefs kiss*

Like, that's literally how I feel like I first played Genshin LMAO

Also this has a cont. Part 2 at the bottom bc tumblr fucking hates me UPDATE I FIXED IT THANK FUCK

Paimon was like "and then we go to Mondstadt- ! NO, not Wolvendom, to Mondstadt! NOT THE THOUSAND WIND TEMPLE WITH ENEMIES OUT OF UR LEAGUE, ENTER MONDSTADT FOR THE FIRST TIME BEFORE U EXPLORE THE REST OF THE MAP!! >:("

SO MANY IDEAS YET SO LITTLE WRITING SKILL GUYS HELP-

Also warning this is ROUGH in terms of spelling and editing and im so sorry abt that! I have my art show today so you're welcome to come back if you want to see it a little more readable tomorrow lmao

Edit Update 4/6/23:

Revised and fixed all the bad spelling and grammar (hopefully) so make sure to give another read if you havent read the cleaned up version lol

I dont have a beta reader so its just me trying my best ok-

Everything was like kinda chaos tbh at first

WOW- MY FIRST 1,000+ NOTES POST??!?! U GUYS, WHAT ARE R YOU DOIN??!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! IM GLAD U GUYS ENJOYED IT SM!! Also look out for more encoded stuff in the future since i mentioned wanting to continue stuff like this + ARG stuff :) <3

Edit 9/7/23: 2,000+ NOTES?? THANK YOU???

Like u wake up under the Irminsul, and u think ur hallucinating a goddamn gacha game for like a solid 5 minutes, or ur lucid dreaming,

but once u actually took what felt like hours to process that u might actually be in fucking Genshin Impact-

Nahida came running from, somewhere?? Its kinda just very floaty dreamy in here so, unclear, she’s beaming with a giddy little smile (💘)

It’s… so much more than what her game model could manage.

I mean, you knew that, of course you did, but- to see the tiny goddess smiling in person, her cute chubby arms waving in the air, her cheeks all plump with baby fat from her excited smile, pretty green eyes that sparkle only in the way excited toddlers do-

It was just…wow. 🥺

You can’t help it, her sheer carefree excitement, exactly like a child but you know that she must be really overwhelmed with joy if shes letting herself act like that so blatantly, you feel ur muscles tug gently into a smile, you try to muffle it but ur happiness leaks out anyway

She's panting as she stumbles on short chubby legs to reach you.

After just staring at you with those big green clover eyes for a few seconds, she physically shakes her head to knock herself out of it,

Nahida places her hand over her heart, and bows elegantly, going back to looking at you with a small but bright smile, her voice is kind of quiet, muffled in a soft way, much like her game depiction,

“Hzozn! R'ev yvvm dzrgrmt gl nvvg blf! R wrwm'g gsrmp blf dlfow wvhxvmw fmgro R dzh zg ovzhg z uvd gslfhzmw bvzih low!” *

…Nahida begins to look a little concerned… her eyes get impossibly bigger.

…Oh no.

♧

Nahida had apparently quickly spread the news that you can’t understand them, but luckily it seems like all the characters still know you!

Alhaitham is pretty much a constant by your side, you knew he was vaguely studying linguistics in the akademiya… but that knowledge still didn’t prepare you to be intensely stared at with his diamond pupils for hours. 💀

Then he’d tap your shoulder or something, and you quickly picked up that he wanted you to just try and say something.

Then he would scribble for hours.

Turns out they can understand you about as much as you understand Teyvat language (s? You can’t even tell if there are multiple languages, that’s how unrecognizable this language is, damn)

The more extroverted or friendly people, like Venti, Yoimiya, Kazuha, Jean, Noelle, Amber, Xingqiu, Hu Tao, Zhongli, Ganyu, Barbara, Beidou, Collei, Ayaka, Gorou, Nilou

At least attempt to talk to you, and try very hard to watch what you gesture with your hands or body language

They're pretty much ready to play charades at all times for you lol

Interestingly enough, they only ever understood you when you typed in the chat (with other ppl)

But even then not immediately,

Sumeru scholars basically had to make a whole new department (regardless of how much you play with others) to decipher your ancient language (to them) like those old clay tablets with cuneiform we’re still translating?

Like that, your words appear in elemental magic heavy places (so like that abyss lang. It’ll appear on walls or structures, so like Andrius’ stone colosseum? in Wolvendom gained some of your chat replies inscribed and glowing a rainbow of colors on the top edges of the walls)

Much like the abyss language you see throughout genshin, most Teyvat scholars (across nations/internationally) agreed your language is the oldest form of language known!

It’s like modern languages having roots in older ones, like English with Latin, greek, or German roots, or Sanskrit and the Prakrit for Hindi language today

…so of course no one really speaks the root languages anymore, because they’re so old, so those ancestors who spoke those languages would have little to no understanding of their modern counterparts…

◇

Occasionally if you turned your mic on for whatever reason there would be a gentle whisper on the winds in Mondstadt of your voice,

or your laugh in the waves washing ashore in Inazuma and Fontaine,

your startled noises or screams from battling bosses mixed with the landslides in the mountains of Liyue

So they know what you sound like, but that doesn’t mean they understood your language :/

Nahida had been hoping that you’re actual physical form being here would help improve the language barrier

But unfortunately, those things remained the same, but at least you were physically here to talk to now and give more content for the scholars to study rather than them having to make do with your snippets of language from chats

…so needless to say, it took you a long time to realize they viewed you as a god of sorts.

You kind of knew something was up when at least two allogenes were by your sides at all times, or eremites would replace them if they really couldn’t stick around

You figured they knew you weren’t nearly as combatant-ready as they were at all times, hell you obviously didn’t have a vision hanging off you somewhere, and you only really had a knife strapped to a belt, courtesy of the Thirty Corps

You are still kind of convinced that the people of Teyvat, or Sumeru at least, are just pretty polite (and in the allogenes case, very kind or friendly, even people like Alhaitham or Cyno, resting bitch faces they have, seem to soften a little when they’re walking around with you… maybe you’re just imagining it…)

And as much as you would love to wait until they understand you to do something more fun, as you can see the frustration on Tighnari’s face (and his ears try to flatten back hehe) as he looked like he was debating heatedly with some of the Sumeru sages who insist you stay in the city

…so why not go?

It’s not like they’re going to get it anytime soon, and it’s still too frustrating for yourself to charade things or draw things for them because you can’t even hear their guesses 💀

You can totally handle being like the traveler too,

You still have access to your inventory afterall! Plus, lucky for you, you still find a pass for the Serenitea Pot in your little pocket dimension!

So now you have somewhere to sleep at night, and while most of your stuff went to the traveler’s pack, the things like Primogems

(which.. Okay now you really want primogems bc theyre so pretty and shiny irl)✨️

And other high-level things, or just objects of no use for the traveler (so basically all your hoarded level up stuff and infinite amount of weapons lol) came along with you

So you did have to wander the first week or so around the city and even commission the Adventurer’s Guild to grab you food supplies to cook with

Filling up, along with a few big waterskins, you’re off!

...and everyone collectively has a heart attack!

◇

When you show up in Ghandaraville essentially all “✨️💖☺️✨️” on Tighnari’s doorstep-

He chokes on the tea he’d been sipping on before he opened the door lol

He looks a little frazzled so you try to just gesture with “calm yourself small animal” energy with your hands

“Tivzgvhg Oliw! R'n- R- sld wrw blf-?! Mvevinrmw, xlnv rm, xlnv rm, ivhg! ...R mvvw gl hvmw z nroorlm ovggvih mld gl ylgs gsv vmgriv xrgb lu Hfnvif, gsv Zxgrmt Tizmw Hztv, zmw gsv Nzgiz nlhg orpvob…” he began out looking at you and talking and gesturing to his small dining table (the game sucks, his house looks great and has lots of cool rooms filled with interesting plants… oooo…so pretty...)

But then he kinda just devolved into rambling, no need to understand, you can read the vibes and just know that's what he's doing lol

Collei eventually ducks in, and she looks a little panicked?

She’s quickly followed by Cyno, pushing past her to call out into the house,

His voice seems hard and stressed, looking at Tighnari, “Grtsmzir, szev blf hvvm gsv Tivzgvhg Oliw zmbdsviv, gsvb dviv hvvm xlnrmt gl Tszmwziezeroov ozhg-”

Cyno stops and blinks.

Collei’s mouth is slightly dropped open, she also just, blinks.

You blink.

Tighnari blinks tiredly, he looks like he’d rather be done for the day, you think.

The doctor sighs, and moves his head to nod towards the other dining seats.

◇

Sumeru foods are so much better looking in real life, and they’re so good too, your practically bloated by the end of dinner,

As a thank you, bc u cant say it obv, you just gesture for Tighnari to stay sitting, and he gives you a raised eyebrow and a suspicious ear twitch

But stays still, and you reach out to finally hit the eight-pointed star hovering over his, and all playable characters chests at all times.

Like you suspected, it brings up a holographic character menu, but rather than his full model, it kind of hovers in front of Tighnari’s face, replacing his old 3D model self with framing the real thing for a portrait just in front of his face

The poor Denro user nearly jumps a foot out of his chair as he looks in shock at your screen, you do the same “chillll boy” gesture with your hands and press his shoulders for a second to remind him to not run off or panic

Cyno and Collei had done the dishes and put up leftovers, and are now standing behind Tighnari, watching with equally wide eyes,

“...Dszg ziv gsvb wlrmt gl blf?

Cyno’s voice is even deeper and quieter than usual, you feel goosebumps run up your spine

“Ziv blf tvggrmt yovhhvw, Nzhgvi Grtsmzir?!” Collei’s sweet voice is also hushed like she’s witnessing something sacred, Tighnari gently shakes his head negatively in response, his shoulders shrugging,

“Nzbyv? R uvvo... z orggov hgilmtvi, zmw nb Erhrlm rh zxgrmt fk zh dvoo…”

Though he’s replying, Tighnari’s eyes haven’t once left your ancient magic? technology device? hovering in front of him,

and as he crosses his arms and squints to try and look closer at everything floating in front of him, you can see the childlike gleam of awe in his green eyes, (so cute) in fact, now that you glance up and look, both Collei and Cyno have the same quietly excited and fascinated sparkle in their eyes too

With a displeased sneer, you chuck his old level one bow into the material grinding spots, hope he wasn’t attached to that…

Oh well, he’ll like the new one better, afterall, with no characters, all your best weapons and artifacts are ready to use!

With a small smile of reassurance, you finally finish gearing Tighnari up, tap a miniature version of that 8-point star in the corner like an “X” button, and it retreats like a classic TV set📺 turning off into his chest, he startles but then carefully stands

You decide to just start making decisions bc its worked out so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And grab his hand and haul him out into the forest, Collei letting out a surprised squeak, her and Cyno hurrying after

You reach the nearest clearing, and gesture at Tighnari like a bow and arrow firing, he gets it, and your glad he already trusts you, because he doesn’t take long to summon his bow

He takes aim at a smaller tree about two cars length away

You can feel them all holding their breathe, as Tighnari charges it with Dendro, the arrowhead glowing, (it looks so cool and badass irl god you feel envious even tho ur already here-)

The ranger lets it fly, it streaks neon green, whistling through the air, it hits the tree-

and it fucking explodes.

Vines and leaves and the trees roots all rapidly swell like theyre filled with water, like it literally got hit by a superhero with plant powers, which, not that far off actually.

The green floating Dendro seeds make a ring around the tree its so full of elemental energy-

You give a wild grin, you still got it, hell yeah. >:)

Your grin widens as you look over at Tighnari, Collei, and Cyno

Cyno has a smirk lighting up his face, eyes eager, Collei’s jaw has dropped and she’s just frozen staring as the tree finally settles from the burst of the dendro powered arrow

…Tighnari has lowered his bow, and his mouth is only slightly open, his ears perked straight up into the air, shaking with excitement? Happiness? Interest? You don’t know how peopl-animal-hybrid ears work,

and you STILL cant talk to any of them to ask what they thought, so looks will have to do >:/

Tighnari is the first to move, his head snapping over to look at you, the brightest, kinda feral tbh, smile taking over his face-

“Blf pmld, dv xzm'g fmwvihgzmw blf, zmw blf fh, bvg R xzm'g dzrg gl hvv dszg rm gsv dliow blf'iv tlrmt gl wl mvcg. Blf'iv znzarmt."

… and you just 🙂? Cool!

And give a thumbs up👍LMAO

☆

Bonus:

Alhaitham was literally running around Sumeru City trying to find you when you left, tho you did try and leave a translatable-in-3-to-5-business days-note, he didn’t have time to translate that because you were gone.

Or worse, lost in the city, and he would never forgive himself if he lost you, esp as Acting Grand Sage-

Kaveh got a letter a day and a half later from Tighnari letting them know you were having a sleepover in Ghandarvaville lol

Kaveh also had to hunt down Alhaitham to give him said news, then force his roommate to go sit or lay down for the rest of the day to recover lmao

(Haitham honestly kinda freaked Kaveh out bc he’s never seen him that... desperate, it was like seeing a statue emote lol)

♡

“Regulus would be proud of us,” James whispered quietly to no one in particular, still gripping onto the painting like a life raft.

☆ even the gods bleed [ pt 2 ]

{☆} characters furina, neuvillette {☆} notes cult au, imposter au, multi-chapter, gender neutral reader {☆} warnings none {☆} word count 1.9k {☆} previous [ 1 ]

This had to be a punishment of some sort – some kind of divine punishment.

She was bored out of her mind just watching the sleeping body – she hadn't blinked once in the past five hours, her eyes were really starting to hurt. Yet they still hadn't moved so much as an inch since she sequestered them away to the only place she had known to be safe.

But it'd been almost a week since then.

The only solace she found was that Teyvat had seemed much less hellbent on collapsing in on itself like a dying star.

That counted for something.

Not much, but something!

..Even if their position was no better then it was a week ago.

There was, after all, still the issue of what to do about the false Creator – the actual imposter – and the Archons following them like blind lambs. The other Archons wouldn't listen if she tried to reason with them, and it would only risk the life of Divine One if she spoke of their location to anyone else.

She also was pretty fond of having her head still attached to her shoulders.

So she avoided them all together. Partially because she wasn't sure she wouldn't have a breakdown at the sight of them..she'd never been a fighter, and fighting an Archon? Easy pass.

Instead she was forced to babysit the sleeping Divine until they woke up while Neuvillette handled taking care of the nation and dealing with the other Archons – and by extension the false Creator.

Really though, she would almost think them dead if not for the subtle rise and fall of their chest.

Though..this also left her with a lot of time to herself. A lot of time to think.

She really didn't like it.

There wasn't a lot to occupy her mind and what little there was only distracted her for a scant few moments before her eyes drifted back to the Divine like she was locked in their orbit, unable to escape.

She closed the same book for the twelfth time – she kept count – and returned it to it's meticulously designed place within her bookcase. A low, barely audible huff of frustration escaped her lips before she could bite it down, her stare boring a hole into the body of the Divine One with a sharp intensity she rarely showed.

She was tired, bored and constantly on edge, fearing that at any moment someone would find out about their presence here.

That, at the drop of a hat, she would be powerless to stop the greatest tragedy of her time play out before her eyes.

Neuvillette would have scolded her for being so petulant, especially around the Divine One, if he were here.

But he wasn't.

He was out running her nation, instead.

And what was she doing? Nothing!

She grit her teeth, nails digging harshly into the palm of her hands as she took a deep breath – now was not the time to think about that. She had..much more pressing matters. Sulking and letting her thoughts spiral helped no one, least of all herself.

Yet her attention was caught by a harsh inhale, the rustle of fabric – were they finally waking up? She was exhausted, but it all vanished at the sudden drop of life within the otherwise deathly still body of the Divine.

Her eyes followed the subtle twitch of their fingers, watching as their brow furrowed and their features twisted in something almost like..pain.

..She wasn't ready.

What was she supposed to say?

Should she even say anything? Would that be considered impolite? Does she wait for them to speak first? Should she kneel? Bow?

She doesn't get much time to find her own answer before their lashes flutter, chest heaving with every strangled breath. Every single thought vanishes from her mind the moment she meets their eyes.

For a long, silent moment she thinks that her heart must have stopped.

Their eyes glow like the cresting of the sun over the horizon, painting the world in hues of gold – yet it also reminded her of the dipping of the moon below the waves, casting the briefest, most gentle of lights upon the world engulfed in darkness. In the depths of their eyes was the birth and death of stars in the infinite cosmos – glittering stars in a sea of empty, blank space that left her feeling lightheaded and breathless.

Beneath the splendor is a spark of recognition in their eyes so vibrant it was like a shooting star piercing through the dark night sky, leaving nothing but the wonder in the eyes of the observer as the only proof it ever existed – brilliant in it's beauty, however brief.

It is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.

"Focalors?"

The lilt of their voice nearly made her knees buckle beneath her – euphoria so consuming it left her feeling she was starving swallowed her whole, her mind blanking in a moment of utter bliss. It was..an indescribable feeling that she doubted she could ever hope to put into words – not in a way that could properly express it, try as she might.

She swallowed the words that threatened to spill from her lips – she couldn't make a fool of herself. Not in front of them of all people. She'd never forgive herself.

"Divine One," She rasps, clearing her throat and covering her mouth with a hand to mask both her nervousness and the small smile that creeps across her face. She quickly regains her composure, hand resting on her hip as she puffs out her chest with every bit of pride she can manage. "I am sure you must be confused, but worry not– your most loyal acolyte has seen the truth!"

The silence is deafening.

She opens one eye, peaking at the bewildered and almost distraught expression of the Divine.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

That..she was not prepared for. Surely they knew who they were! Surely they knew. They had to– she's been praying to them for as long as she's breathed, she's dedicated every hour of her life to living up to their ideals, they can't just–!

"Lady Furina?"

Neuvillette, thankfully, spares her the embarrassment of having a meltdown in front of the Divine, the gentle rap of his knuckles against the door making her and the Divine pause, the soft lull of his voice soothing her nerves and yet setting her on edge at the same time.

"Neuvillette." She clears her throat again, her steps hurried as she marches to the door and pries it open none too gently, a forced smile pulling at her lips. She wastes no time tugging the man into the room, shutting the door behind him with a short huff. The silence is, somehow, even worse then before as the three of them stare at each other in absolute exasperation.

Neuvillette, for his part, manages to get his act together with a sharp clearing of his throat, bowing so low even she looks unnerved. She steals a brief glance at the Divine, and she's taken aback by the uncomfortability twisting their features into a grimace.

Their expression is schooled back into one of empty apathy when he stands back to his full height, but she saw it – she knows she did! Did they not like their worship? Were they not respectful enough? For a moment, she feared the Divine would smite Neuvillette down on the spot..but they just stared at him like he was a ghost.

"Why aren't you killing me?"

The defeated, resigned tone combined with the way their voice cracks makes her heart ache in her chest – it feels as though her entire world is crumbling down at her feet, and she cannot explain why she feels such emotions so strongly, but it is suffocating. It is almost as if Teyvat itself is weeping, bearing down upon her shoulders like a heavy weight.

She feels the urge to weep herself, but she powers through, gritting her teeth long enough for Neuvillette to take his place at the side of her – though it feels more like their – bed, kneeling like he was going to pray.

"Divine One," He offers a hand with a quiet rumble of his voice, the words slipping off his tongue like honey. It's like trying to soothe a stray cat..though she'd never voice such comparisons of the most Divine out loud. "I..we mean you no harm. I swear on my authority as the Iudex of Fontaine and Chief Justice that you are safe with us."

The skepticism she expected, but the reverence in which Neuvillette must convince them – or perhaps they are simply so tired that they simply did not care any longer if it was all some ploy to drive a knife between their ribs. She didn't expect them to actually place their hand in Neuvillette's.

He didn't either, judging by the way he visibly brightened – not that they'd notice, but she did.

..Not that she could really blame him, her heels clicking against the floorboards as she shifted her weight to the other foot with a nervous energy that was practically bursting at the seams, more then a little jealous of the attention he was receiving. She was the one who found them, she was the one who stayed with them the entire time..but he gets all the attention?

How unfair.

"O-of course! We would never lay a hand on our creator," She adds, her voice a little higher pitched then she would have liked as she placed her hands on her hips, puffing out her chest and brushing off the sting of jealousy. "Least of all I– your most loyal, most devout acolyte!"

She felt baffled when she heard the sound of their laughter, her shoulders hunching and her cheeks flushing on mere instinct – she was expecting mockery, but the look in their eyes, still dulled by a pain she cannot even begin to imagine, made her hesitate.

..It was, perhaps, the most genuine thing she'd heard from them ever since before the hunt began.

She wasn't sure why her heart hurt at such an idea, but it was enthralling to see the beginnings of a half hearted smile on their lips.

For a moment, her mask of theatrics was forgotten as she stared at them in a mixture of awe and adoration– and though she didn't look at Neuvillette, she could imagine he must've shared such an expression.

Had she any doubts that they were her Creator, that they alone were the most Divine..they would wiped clean now. There was no mistaking the way the world itself seemed to grow clearer as they glanced up at her like she was worth something.

For a moment, she realized how cold the false Creators gaze had been now that she has felt warmth so gentle it almost made her knees buckle beneath her. It felt like a pale imitation, now.

Nothing could compare to the warmth that spread through her body at the mere semblance of a smile upon their lips. She didn't even mind if it was her they were laughing at anymore, she just wanted to hear them laugh again.

She'd make a fool of herself, if she had to.

She'd never felt so..ravenous for such a thing, but just the briefest glimpse was addictive.

She simply couldn't help herself from striding across the room and clasping their free hand in her own, her smile wide enough to unnerve as she leaned her weight onto the bed. For a moment, she considered pulling away at the way they startled, but her mind was made up by then – there was no going back.

"Again."

Hey chief you've been sitting on the new chapter for a while what's the current word count? (also crumb? little crumb for us perhaps?)

I have about 70k worth of draft written but thats DRAFT and incoherent rambling so not an actual idea of the chapter word count, but since I've been talking about SL Monty latley I think it's fair to throw these here

#narrator note: he did in fact do that again #also between orders and packing for patreon and the other fic idea i havent revised anything in like a week #and there was also like two weeks where i didnt touch it when i was in and out of hospital caretaking #so i need that sweet sweet brain refresh before i go back in or ill write it and hate it again

Porcelain Steve - Part 2

Part One🦇Part Two🦇Part Three🦇Part Four🦇Part Five🦇Part Six🦇Part Seven🦇Part Eight🦇Part Nine

There's commotion from the house, loud enough for Eddie and Robin to hear it outside. Both turn towards the house, Robin halfway to standing up already, and the door is pushed open, El falling through it to get outside.

Someone calls El's name from inside, but she doesn't even turn around. She marches across the lawn to Eddie and Robin. "They are too loud and angry in there. Take me somewhere else."

Joyce makes it out the door next and with a raise of her hand behind her, one finger up, she stops everyone in the doorway. She descends the steps of the porch and Eddie is in awe about how much power she wields because no one follows after. Not even Dustin, who is the absolute worst at following orders.

"Whatever you need," Eddie answers El. He doesn't think she's blinked since exiting the house.

"We can go to Steve's," Robin offers. She's standing now and roots in a pocket of her jeans before pulling out a keychain with three keys on it. "Maybe it'll help being around all his stuff?"

"We can take my van," Eddie offers.

"That would be great," Joyce says, reaching out and grabbing one of El's hands in her own, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Come on, let's get some shoes on."

"Thank you," El says, shooting Eddie a smile before her eyes drop down to look at Steve. A frown returns to her face before she turns and heads back into the house with Joyce.

Robin turns to Eddie, offering a hand to him. She's probably offering to pull him up, but he holds Steve out to her instead. He doesn't understand why she looks surprised at that, but she takes Steve, cradles him close to herself like he had done earlier.

Eddie climbs into his van, starting it and reaching over to turn the dial on the radio down so it's not blasting at the loud volume he keeps it on. Robin hovers with the passenger door open. "You getting in, Buckley?"

"Yeah, eventually. Just thinking if I should crawl in the back. Let Joyce and El have the seats?"

"Oh. Yeah. Probably."

She's absently petting Steve's hair, eyes slightly misty. He watches as she blinks away the tears before letting out a big sigh. "I just want to pass Steve off to whoever will be wearing a seatbelt. I've seen how you drive, Munson."

Eddie catches the teasing tone in her voice and laughs. "Fair. I'll take corners about 3 miles per hour slower than I normally do."

Robin laughs. "That's probably still ten above the speed limit."

"You should not speed," El's voice makes both Robin and Eddie jump. She's standing just behind Robin, and a quick look around shows Joyce on the porch, a worried look on her face but she makes no move to step off the porch.

"Is your mom coming?" Eddie asks. A complicated set of expressions crosses El's face and he's worried he might have asked the wrong thing somehow but then El answers.

"No. Just me. I will sit in the center," She slides past Robin and crawls up onto the bench seat of Eddie's van, scoots across the seat until she butts up against Eddie, and searches for the seatbelt before securing it.

"Here," Robin holds Steve out to El, who takes him, before Robin pulls herself into the van, shutting the door and buckling herself in.

Eddie doesn't go immediately because he's a bit busy watching El look at Steve. She's holding him like she's not sure how. She wraps one hand around an arm and his waist and uses the other to poke a porcelain cheek, right over the two moles just below his cheek bone. He can see the creases of a frown on her face.

"Are you okay, El?" Robin asks, which is good because he was about to, and he thinks his voice will come out more watery.

"I...," El looks up to Robin, then back down to Steve, "I do not know."

It hits Eddie like a freight truck just how young El is. He has to put the van in gear and drive to give his mind something to focus on or he's going to do something stupid, like bear hug El and ugly cry into her grown out buzzcut.

"Hey, that's okay," Robin says, "it's okay to not know how you're doing. This is a complicated situation."

"I barely know Steve," El says, which surprises Eddie. They all seem close, so much so that Eddie still feels like an intruder at times. Still, there is a tone to her voice that seems off to Eddie. "We do not have a reason to hang out. Not like everyone else. Lucas plays basketball with him. Dustin and Max claim him as their brother. Even Erica-"

El stops talking abruptly. Eddie glances towards her but she's staring down at Steve, so Eddie flicks his eyes to Robin, who is already looking at him and making an 'I don't' know' gesture with her hands before Eddie returns his eyes to the road.

"Mike does not care for Steve much," El continues suddenly, the tone still there and Eddie feels like he knows it, "I spent so much time with Mike that I think I did not care for Steve, either. Not on purpose. But- but in a way that you do not care about a thing because it is not important in your life?"

No one says anything else, because what can they say? Shortly after, Eddie pulls into the driveway of the Harrington residence behind Steve's Bimmer. "Alright ladies. Once more unto the breach!"

They crawl from the van and Robin unlocks the door. El and Eddie step through first. El moves into the house, clutching at Steve like he's her favorite stuffed toy. Robin freezes in the doorway, looks like she's not even breathing.

"Buckley?" Eddie is whispering and he doesn't know why.

"Sorry, sorry," Robin exhales a shaking breath. "It's just- Nancy and I- sorry. Uh, El, do you need us to do anything?"

She glides past Eddie to catch up to El and he is left to close the door. He wonders if, maybe, Robin should have also stayed at the Byers-Hopper home. It had been her and Nancy that had come to check in on Steve just this morning. It wasn't unusual to not hear from Steve sometimes (everyone needed their time to just be alone) but today must have marked Too Many Days for Robin because she'd called Nancy for a ride, and they'd found this. A locked house, Steve's car still here, and resting against the pillows of Steve's bed had been the porcelain replica. Nothing out of place, no ransom notes, nothing to make it seem like nefarious going ons had been taking place. Just the Harrington house, devoid of a flesh and blood Steve Harrington.

Coming back must be surreal.

"Eddie, you okay?"

"Oh, uh, yeah," Eddie startles a little. He'd been lost in his own head for a moment there.

"Can El have your bandana? She needs something to use as a blindfold."

"Yeah," Eddie moves through the house, to the living room where El has sat herself on the floor in front of the TV. Steve is lain in her lap, a mirror of the image Eddie must have made on the front lawn. He pulls the bandana from his pocket, folding it diagonally before offering it out to El.

She takes it, eyes flicking up to Eddie's. She looks sad. "Can you make the TV staticky?"

"On it."

Robin closes all the blinds and curtains, making the house a bit darker and Eddie gets the TV on, white noise filling the room.

They sit in that white noise for what feels like an eternity but when Eddie checks his watch, is actually about 22 minutes, before El suddenly yanks the makeshift blind fold off with a frustrated huff.

"It is not working!" She shouts.

Eddie looks to Robin, but she looks just as lost about all this as Eddie feels. Well. Eddie's always been good with kids. He'll make the attempt. "El, you said earlier you didn't know if you were okay. Maybe figuring that out will help? It can't be easy to get into the right headspace with other thoughts floating around. "

She looks down at Steve, then back to Eddie. Her eyes are wet. "I am scared."

Eddie nods, "me too. This is scary."

"I am scared I will not find him," she says, then drops her voice to a whisper to continue, "but I am more scared that I will."

He really wishes Joyce would have come with. Or Hopper, Jonathan, Will, anyone who actually knows El. He thinks she need a kind of comfort he and Robin cannot provide. "Well, El, what's the part that's really scary?"

She's quiet for a long time. "Steve has never needed saving before. Not by me. What if I can't?"

"Oh El, it's not on you to save him," Robin says, sliding off the couch to be on the floor with them. She must have more information than Eddie about why El would say that, which makes since, because Robin was part of the conversation when they'd decided to have El try and reach out to Steve. "It's not fair that it's only you that can do this, but we didn't ask expecting you to fix it. That's not the pressure we meant to put on you. All we want is a confirmation. And if you can't, that's okay, too. That'll be okay."

El frowns, bottom lip quivering before she reaches down and picks up Steve, shoving him into Eddie's arms before she launches herself at Robin, arms around her neck and burying her face into Robin's neck. Robin looks startled, eyes wide going to Eddie. He pulls Steve to his neck, in an imitation of the position El is in, then hugs him with one arm and uses his other hand to pet at Steve's hair, trying to make meaningful eyes contact with Robin. She gets with the program, hugging El and petting the back of her head.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. You want us to call Joyce or Hopper over?" Robin soothes, her body now gently rocking with El in her lap.

There's a muffled, quiet 'no' from El but that's it. She doesn't say anything else, or move, for a couple minutes.

El pulls back finally, away from Robin to sit up straight. "Okay. I am ready again. Please hand me Steve."

He does, belatedly realizing he was still cuddling and petting Steve. Oh. He really hopes that if Steve is the doll, that he doesn't have any sort of touch receptors going on. That'll be embarrassing.

Steve settled in her lap again, blindfold back on, El tries again.

It takes about two minutes before Eddie watches a bit of blood trickle out of her nose. He shoots a worried look to Robin before lifting a hand, intent on reaching out to El, but before he fully extends his arm, Robin stops him with a shake of her head.

Another eternity passes before El gasps and pulls the blindfold off.

"What happened? Did you find him?" Robin asks.

El looks from Robin to Eddie, then down to Steve, then back up to Eddie, a small smile on her face. "Yeah. He wants me to tell you 'thank you, for taking the time to explain because Dustin never does.' He said you would know what he was talking about?"

"Holy shit." He and Robin say it at the same time. Robin scrabbles over the couch, rather than around it, and dashes out of sight. Eddie doesn't think he could make his legs work if he wanted to. Steve can hear them. (Ha Dustin!)

El deposits Steve into Eddie's arms. "It is him. He does not know what happened, either. He can hear and see. He appreciates that you did not let the sun blind him."

"El, you are the most amazing person I've ever met," Eddie says and watches the grin grow on El's face. "Alright. Well, the first step to a solution is knowing and now we know."

Robin pops back into view behind the couch, "everyone is on their way here now. I tried to tell Will we'd go back to them, 'cause y'know, less people and cars to worry about but I guess they want the base of operations to be here. How mad do you think Steve would be if I got copies of my key made for everyone?"

"I can ask him," El offers.

"Nah," Eddie grins, "it's always better to ask forgiveness than permission. And you'll forgive us, won't you, Stevie?"

Steve, of course, does not answer, but it does settle something inside Eddie knowing that he hears the question.

Steve's a doll. They know that for sure. Now, they can find a solution.

#steddie #platonic stobin #my fic #why am i like this guys??? ill get back to my other fics eventually #unfortunately this porcelain doll AU has consumed my little gremlin brain #anyway i LOVE the El&Steve sibling dynamic but i think El should get to have complicated feelings about steve first #porcelain steve

I'll Be Back

Chapter 2

Ch.1 Ch.3 Ch.4. Ch.5 Ch.6. Ch.7. Ch.8.

Each chapter will have individual warnings

!Warnings!: None

"Hmm.." A gentle hum woke me from my slumber.

It definitely wasn’t Winston, for he would be giving me ‘Good morning now feed me’ kisses if it was him. I nudged my leg, feeling Winston down at my feet under the covers.

“..mi amar..” The voice came from behind me and I knew exactly who it was.

I tiredly rolled over and creeped my eyes open, to find Alejandro still fast asleep. So he is talking in his sleep, I never heard him do that before. He laid on his stomach, arms wrapped around his big pillow and his face facing towards me.

“..Amy..” Alejandro mumbled, his lips barely moving as he did so.

I giggled, seeing my Ale in his most vulnerable state. I leaned in close, our foreheads touching, wanting him awake but also not wanting to disturb his sleep. I shut my eyes, happy to be in such a close embrace with him, knowing that he is indeed home.

“Ale.”

“What?” Alejandro said with a chuckle.

“What do you have planned up your sleeve?” I ask, feeling as if there was a hidden reason for today.

“Nothing, hermosa. Just wanted to spoil you for today.” Alejandro lied through his teeth.

Alejandro has been nervous all day for whatever reason. Anytime I held his hand I could feel his nerves jittering and him staring off, as if he was in deep thought about something. He has taken me to my favorite local Italian place, bought me roses, some chocolates, some new clothing, and now we were taking a small hike to our favorite spot up on the hills.

“So there’s no reason as to why you are taking me up the hill to our favorite spot under the tree?” I question with a smirk.

“Nope.” Alejandro says, once again trying to keep up with the lie.

Even though Alejandro is a sweetheart and a great lover, he is also a crappy liar. We eventually made it up the hill under our favorite oak tree. He first took me here when he first came back from a mission and told me that if I ever miss him dearly, to come here and sit and watch the sunset. Sometimes it helps and sometimes the intense feeling of missing him remains. The hill is just outside of town, a five minute drive at most, but Alejandro and I will often have picnics here or just come up here with some good wine and just be engulfed in each other's arms as the sun goes down. Once it’s dark, depending how much we have drunk, we will go home or give in to each other’s desires until we sober up.

“Sunset is beautiful tonight.” I commented as we both stood there, watching the sun slowly go down.

“Not as beautiful as you, Amelia.” Alejandro says, standing behind me and wrapping his arms around me.

He nuzzled his face into my neck, his stubble tickling me.

“You need to trim that, Ale.” I joke, making him laugh.

“Thought you liked the beard.”

“I do!” I say, leaning into him.

I turned my attention back to the sunset, as the yellow sky slowly turned into a deep orange with some red splashed in there, like a Van Gough painting. The more the sun went down, the more colors popped. It was so beautiful. So, so beautiful. I loved this spot and I am so glad that it is Ale and I’s spot. Some stars were starting to pop up, indicating that it will be dark very soon.

“Amelia?”

I didn’t even realize Alejandro left from behind until he said my name. I was so immersed in the sunset to not even realize.

“Yes, Al-?”

I stopped to see Alejandro down on one knee, holding something in his hand and looking up at me with a gleam in his eyes and a big smile. A big, nervous smile. I could feel my heart racing, feeling as though I know what he is going to ask.

“Amelia, you have made the happiest and most lucky guy in all of Las Almas. It was fate and destiny that brought us together and because of you, I have something to look forward to after every mission or anytime I am away.”

“Y-You’ve made me so happy too, Alejandro.” I stuttered, staring dead at him, preparing myself for what he was going to ask.

Alejandro reached into his pocket and pulled a little box out, opening it and revealing a beautiful silver ring.

“¿Te casarías conmigo mi amor?”

Will you marry me, my love? I couldn’t even believe he asked me that just now. I know he was waiting for my answer, but the words nearly couldn’t leave my mouth.

“Sí. Sí, Alejandro!”

I jumped into his arms as I cried out my answer and Alejandro gladly took me into his embrace, both of us crying with joy, feeling each other's love and joy for each other.

“Amelia?” A tired husky voice spoke to me, knocking me out of my daydreaming.

I opened one eye to find a tired looking Alejandro looking at me but still in the same position he was sleeping in.

“Did I wake you?”

“No.”

I could tell that he really wanted to sleep in, but his natural alarm clock wouldn’t let him. I leaned in even closer, and Alejandro cupped my cheek, rubbing my skin with his thumb.

“Feels so good to wake up next to you, querida.”

“Same here.” I agreed.

His deep brown eyes stared into my bright blue ones enjoying the silence between us. The beautiful morning silence. Alejandro leaned in and pecked my nose with his lips.

“Want me to make breakfast?” Alejandro offered.

“How about you sit your fine ass on the dining table with some coffee and I make breakfast?” I suggest.

Alejandro smirked, knowing I was gonna fight him tooth and nail about letting him even do any ounce of work after coming home from a mission.

“Alright, sounds good.” Ale said.

Suddenly a mass rose from under the covers and headed up towards us, revealing Winston. Winston gave both of us kisses, wagging his tail seeing his parents were awake at the same time as him. I pet him, even though his attention was on Alejandro.

“Alright I’ll start some coffee and breakfast and you can feed Winston and let him do his business. . How about that?” I suggest.

“Deal.” Alejandro said.

Despite our mental protests, we both rose from bed, stretching and forcing our bodies awake. Alejandro slipped a t-shirt on and left the room with Winston on his trail. Feeling how chilly it was in our home, I slipped on some sleep pants and lounged out of our room, be-lining for the kitchen. I immediately started some coffee and the smell of fresh coffee filled the home, enjoying the smell of it. Alejandro came back a few minutes later through the front door, unclipping Winston’s leash. He smiled at me as he followed Winston to where his food container was, coming back a second later with a cup with some of Winston’s food in it. Alejandro dumped the food into his food bowl, disappearing into the laundry room once again to put the cup up and make sure the food container was sealed shut. He came back in and I started breakfast at that point, starting some sunny side up eggs and toast. Once Winston was done eating, he trailed at my feet, smelling the aroma of food cooking, as if his breakfast wasn’t enough for him.

“Winston, down.” Alejandro commanded.

“He's fine.” I reassure him.

I felt Alejandro get behind me and hold me close, pushing his hands under the shirt and rubbing my belly.

“Something on your mind?” I ask.

Alejandro shrugged his shoulders, keeping his large hands on my belly. He then leaned in and placed a peck on my neck.

“Just..thinking.”

“About what?” I asked as I made our plates with our finished food.

“Well what if we added another little one to the family?”

“Another Winston?”

Alejandro chuckled at my comment, but I could tell he was meaning something else. Alejandro gently placed his hands on my hips and spun me around, facing him. Alejandro held my chin, looking deep into my eyes.

“I mean..expanding the Vargas family, you know?”

Kids. Kids, you idiot, that's what he is talking about.

“Oh! That! Of course!”

I mentally facepalmed myself, while Ale laughed.

“I mean I've thought of it. It definitely wouldn't be something I'm against. It's just with your work and all..” I trail off, not wanting to hurt Alejandro.

“I know, cariña, I know.”

He knew exactly what I meant. I have had many thoughts and daydreams about Alejandro and I being human parents. Everytime I see a couple pushing the stroller with their baby inside, I can't help but imagine that with Ale and I. Boy or girl, it doesn't matter. I just wanted a family with Alejandro. But his job. His damn job. I just leaned back, my head resting on his chest.

“We will talk about it later. Let's just enjoy the moment now.” I suggested.

“Yes.” Alejandro agreed.

Alejandro let go of me and we both sat at the dining table, eating the breakfast I made for the both of us, enjoying each other's company. Something we haven't been able to do for a long while now.

“Have you heard from John and them?” I ask.

It's nearing about that time for our monthly hang out.

“Yes actually.” Alejandro said, setting down his coffee, “they are coming to us this time.”

Oh, thank God.

“What do they want to do?” I asked.

“Well, and I'll help you with it of course, is it alright with you if we cook and they come here?” Alejandro suggested.

“Of course!” I exclaimed with excitement.

“Awesome, I'll let them know.” Alejandro said as he took his phone out and started messaging them.

I watched him intently. Just him doing something as simple as texting is elegant. He is just that handsome. I love him so much. So, so much..
