“Sweetheart…” Jefferson’s voice softly echoed through yours and his home office, leaning against the doorframe.
“Now’s not a good time, Jefferson.” You say, not looking up from the stack of papers in front of you.
Jefferson sighed and pushed himself off the doorframe and walked in the office, closing and locking the door behind him before approaching the desk. He leaned down, kissing along your neck and shoulder, his teeth nipping on your skin hard enough to mark you up. You bit your bottom lip and tilted your head to the side to give him more access.
“Jefferson…” You breathed.
“You need to take a break, darling. You’ve been grading papers all evening.” He says in almost a whisper in your ear.
You opened your mouth to say something, but a gasp left your lips when you felt Jefferson’s hand disappear inside of your blouse and into your bra, gently squeezing one of your breasts. Your eyes fluttered shut and you melted into his touch. You felt your panties dampen.
“Jefferson, Grace is home.” You say.
“She’s spending the night at a friend’s house. We have the whole house to ourselves, honey.” He says.
He took his hand out of your blouse and began to unbutton it while his other hand disappeared underneath your skirt, rubbing your clit through your wet panties. You moved your hips against his hand, wanting more.
“You want more, sweetheart?” Jefferson asks huskily.
“Yes please!” You begged.
Jefferson pulled you up from the chair and pushed it aside. He turned you around and kissed you hungrily. He pushed your blouse off your shoulders, letting it fall it the floor. One of his hands expertly unclasped your bra. He pulled your skirt down your legs, letting it pool around your feet. You stepped out of it, kicking it to the side. His hand slid down your stomach and into your wet panties. His fingers rubbing from your clit to your tight entrance causing your pussy to clench around nothing.
“Jefferson, please…” You begged.
“Bend over the desk and spread your legs for me, darling.” He whispers in your ear.
You obeyed his orders, bending over the desk and spreading your legs and gave him a perfect view of your wet pussy, waiting for your husband to make the next move. He placed kisses along your spine before getting on his knees behind you. His hands grasped your thighs, placing kisses on them, making his way up to your pussy.
“I’m gonna make you feel so good, sweetheart that the only thing on your mind is me, your husband.” He says.
Your hands grasped onto the edge of the desk when his lips latched onto your clit, his tongue circling it. Your mouth fell open, moans of his name leaving your lips.
“Jefferson…” You gasped. “Oh yes!” You moaned.
His finger circled your entrance before sliding it inside of you causing your hands to grip the desk tighter.
“Oh fuck!” You moaned.
He move his finger at a decent pace while his tongue continued to flick your clit. His other hand snaked up your body, blindly finding it’s way to one of your breasts. His thumb and index finger pinched your nipple causing your cunt to clench around his finger at the sensation. Jefferson slid a second finger inside of you. Your jaw dropped, breathy moans leaving your lips. Your nails dug into the wood of the desk as his fingers and tongue fucked you.
“Yes! Oh fuck yes!” You moaned loudly when his fingers hit your sweet spot.
His tongue moved faster against your clit. His fingers moved faster, continuing to hit your sweet spot. He pinched your nipple again, this time a little hard which triggered your orgasm to start building up.
“Oh baby! I’m almost there!” You moaned.
“Give it to me, darling. Cum for me.” He says huskily.
His fingers pinched your nipple one more time before you came on his face and fingers. His fingers and tongue fucked you through your orgasm. Jefferson took his fingers out of your pussy and his lips off your clit. You leaned against the desk, catching your breath. Meanwhile, Jefferson was stripping himself out of his clothes. He hovered over you, turning your head to the side to kiss your lips.
“You’re being such a good girl for me.” Jefferson praises. “I think you deserve more. What you think, darling?” He asks softly.
“Mmm yes, I do.” You hummed in response.
Jefferson pumped his cock in his hand a couple times before lining it at your tight entrance, slowly sliding it inside of you, inch by inch. He turned your head again, kissing you once more when his cock was deep inside of you. His hands grasped your hips when he started thrusting. His thrusts were fast and loving.
“Always so fucking tight.” Jefferson moans, tilting his head back.
You felt every vein of his cock rubbing along your walls. Your hands gripped the edge of the desk tighter. His hands left your hips and slid up the front of your body, helping you stand up straight, your back against the front of his body. One of your hands continued to grip the edge of the desk while your other one found its way to his hair, your fingers tugging on it. His hands roamed your body, cupping your breasts and gave them a squeeze. A moan left your lips and your back arched off his body.
“Jefferson…” You moaned, your jaw dropping and your eyes fluttering shut.
Jefferson always takes your pleasure seriously, especially when you’ve been working hard and you deserve something for it.
“How are you feeling now, sweetheart?” Jefferson asks almost in a whisper.
“Amazing!” You gasped. “More!” You begged. “I want more!” You tell him.
“I’ll give you everything you want, my darling.” He says.
He didn’t just that. One of his hands snaked down the front of your body, stopping on your clit and began rubbing it in circles. A tingle went through your body when you felt the cool metal of his ring against your clit. One of your hands grasps Jefferson’s wrist to keep his hand in place. His fingers applied more pressure on your clit as he was rubbing it. A moan of his name left your lips. You arched your back in pleasure, pressing your breast more in his hand. Your head was against his shoulder. Your cunt clenched around his cock, feeling your orgasm building up.
“I know you’re close, sweetheart.” Jefferson says in your ear. “I know you’re on the edge. Cum for me.” He almost whispers, kissing your neck.
Your eyes rolled to the back of your head and your jaw dropped, a moan of his name left your lips as you came. Jefferson fucked you through your orgasm, getting closer to his own orgasm. His thrusts got sloppy momentarily, but quickly regained it. A moan, followed by a curse word left his lips as he came inside of you, painting your walls. He laid his forehead against your shoulder as his thrusts came to a halt. You two stood there for a moment, catching your breath. Jefferson pulled out of you and turned you around, holding you in his arms so you didn’t fall due to how wobbly your legs are at the moment.
“Feel better, honey?” Jefferson asks, kissing your lips sweetly.
“Mmm, much better. Thank you, baby.” You say against his lips.
“Let’s get you cleaned up and to bed.” He says.
Let’s just say that grading papers was the last thing on your mind for the night.

What Regina couldn’t have anticipated, what no one ever could have, really, was that you had always been unpredictable. A loose end. A ticking time bomb. An unlocked door.
It was a curse in and of itself, most of the time, albeit one with a lowercase c. You’d always craved a normal life, but that didn’t mesh too well with your impulsiveness. Normalcy craved planning, devising, executing, in that order, precise decisions and arrangements that weren’t to be changed at a whim.
You were as wild as a flower in spring.
It was what Jefferson liked most about you when you first met, back when he was still jumping worlds like one of them would give him an answer. Instead, he found you, back in the Enchanted Forest you both called home, on a day that had started out like any other.
You were smack dab in the center of the meadow the hat spat him out on, and you were spinning around yourself until, he supposed, your skirts finally circled just so, and then landing on your back, laughing. Your feet were bare and dirty from stamping the ground like you were proving a point.
When he stepped closer, you propped yourself up on your elbows and blinked up at him with a grin. The sun cast his shadow in such a way that his head seemed to touch your heart. Jefferson noticed that, even then.
"Is there a reason you’re trampling on the dandelions?" he asked.
"Some people don’t deserve a wish," you simply said.
He couldn’t argue with that.
"And what about you?" he said instead.
"Well," you mused, closing your eyes, the tilt of your lips unwavering. "I think I already got my wish for the day."
"And what was that?"
There was magic brimming within you, and a lot of it. It made Jefferson’s hands shake and the hat cough out trails of smoke, even though it didn’t need to go anywhere, but you … you didn’t even seem to notice.
"Something blue," you answered.
Curiouser and curiouser, just like your smile. That was the thing that kept him distracted long enough for you to anticipate his next question, to point, still without looking, back at the hat and the purplish haze it had wrapped itself in.
"Lavender’s blue, dilly-dilly," you continued before he could voice his confusion. "I mean, I wanted flowers. But I suppose one doesn’t argue with chance, don’t you think?"
There was an almost dangerous glint in your eye when you faced him again, and that settled it.
"Why not?" he asked, and held out his hand.
You stared at it in amusement. "Are you in the habit of challenging fate, stranger?"
"Only if I know I can win," he said. "And the name’s Jefferson."
You took his hand, then, and he could never be sure if it was meant as an introduction or a leap of faith. It didn’t matter, really, when it ended up being both. When he’d pulled you to your feet, there was a small bottle in his palm, its contents glittering like liquid stardust.
He blinked.
"You can keep that if you want," you said, turning your skirt pockets out and carelessly dropping the rest of their contents on the ground. "It’s all too heavy."
Jefferson watched as you plucked a single dandelion and shook it until the wind did the wishing part for you. Then you turned without another glance at him and walked away humming, your magic patting the hat like a pet and then vanishing with you.
He’d spend weeks thinking about you simply handing him the very potion he’d intended to steal, and he still couldn’t figure out how you’d even known.
***
In this life, there are several things you know.
You know you’re a florist. You know you’re well liked, which is nice and feels new, even though you’ve lived here all your life. You know your hands can fabricate the most splendid arrangements, bouquets and wreaths in all the colors Maine has to offer, and most days, you know you’re perfectly content doing just that.
Other days, though, you know you want to see every single petal turned to ashes.
Because you also know this voice deep inside your bones, not quite your own but almost, too familiar with your habits and routines and endless, endless smalltalk. You know it keeps telling you that something is missing, something you might find again if only you set this whole damn place aflame.
So you think, what’s the harm.
And as the flames lick at your window settings and burn the roses to a crisp, you tilt your head slowly and something inside stirs, like a sleeping dragon twitching as it wakes. You realize then, that in between all the things you know, you almost missed something quite important.
Tea.
Thankfully, no else one gets hurt. The building barely even carries any damage.
When Sheriff Humbert finally lets you leave, it’s already dark outside, far too late for a neighborly visit, but you go anyway. You should have driven, but by the time you think of that, you’ve almost climbed up the hill already. The forest seems to whisper to you; you ignore it.
It’s a grand house, and you can tell it’s empty by just looking at the front of it. Not without furniture, but without a heart. You knock, knock, knock, and the sound seems to echo through the whole forest.
When the door opens, it’s with a creak that almost sounds like a yawn, and Jefferson freezes, his eyes widening as they meet yours. They’re more tired than you remember.
"I didn’t forget," you say before he can get a single word out, handing him the small parcel. The paper has worn wrinkly in your sweaty palms. "I just burned down my shop today."
If he’s surprised, or concerned, he doesn’t show it. He hovers in the doorway, his fingers carefully unwrap the delicate teacup, and there’s a wisp of a smile of his face as they trace the tiny, nonsensical little spout.
"What’s this for?" he finally asks, his voice strangely raspy.
"Don’t you remember?" you say. "It’s your unbirthday."
He lets you in, then, and your boots sink into the carpeted floor, like the ground is trying to swallow you up. The front door clicks shut.
"Tea day is Tuesdays and Thursdays," you continue on, wandering deeper into the house, making a wrong turn and taking a few steps up the stairs before suspecting—recalling—that the kitchen is to the right. You huff frustratedly. "You didn’t remind me last week!"
"Well," Jefferson calls from somewhere out of your sight. "One never knows with you."
Dark wooden cabinets. Checkerboard tiles in the kitchen. You decide you’ve broken enough rules for a day and cross them strictly diagonally until you hit a corner cabinet, pulling it open. Empty, empty. "It’s my unbirthday too, you know," you say when you hear his steps approaching again.
"What are the chances?" His voice is still hollow, in a way, as hollow as this house, and you feel like you’re missing something, but it’s so, so tiresome to think about.
"Look at that," you say, shaking the last couple of crumbs out of a crumpled up, sad-looking biscuit wrapper. "I should have come up earlier."
Jefferson sighs as he leans against the counter, watching you continue to rummage through the shelves, drawers, cupboards, trays.
It’s the saddest tea you’ve ever prepared, without a single thing to nibble on and the tea leaves trapped in silly little cotton bags, but you move opposite each other like you’re playing a game of chess, which consoles you a little.
He wins, you think, but you don’t actually know how to play.
***
Jefferson was never entirely convinced you were from the Enchanted Forest. It didn’t suit you, the dirt of this world, the whispered promises of happily ever afters and wishing upon stars so your dreams came true.
You went for the things you wanted without an ounce of remorse and without a single glance over your shoulder.
Then again, none of the other worlds he’d passed through seemed to fit you, either. Wonderland might have come closest, but you lacked its shrillness, the blunt terror in its colors and way of life. And you hated playing cards.
He wasn’t sure how you kept running into him whenever he least expected it, but you seemed to make a habit of doing just that. You seemed to enjoy pretending not to notice him staring whenever he did find you, mesmerized as if it was that first time all over again.
There was something about your presence that made any room you inhabited feel different, and the woods and sky and earth would all vibrate at a different frequency whenever you were around. It wasn’t just your magic, it was all of you.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one who’d noticed.
"See something interesting, dearie?" a voice laced with insanity asked from behind his shoulder.
Jefferson’s eyes never left you, even as he felt Rumplestiltskin’s gaze bore into his neck. You appeared to be counting the toadstools, reciting something in sing-song he couldn’t make out from where he was standing.
"Did you make a deal with her, too?" he asked, voice carefully neutral because you never knew what the Dark One would pick up on and use against you. He already had more on him than Jefferson liked.
"Oh, no. All magic comes with a price." The same phrase, a thousand times, accompanied by the same shimmer in his eyes. He didn't have to look to know it was there. "Just because you’re yet to pay yours doesn’t mean that’s true for everyone."
"So she’s mad?"
"What’s mad?" Rumplestiltskin tutted. "We’re all mad, in our own way. The most powerful most of all."
You lifted your head to look at the two of them and waved. Jefferson lowered the hat over his forehead, finally turning away.
"Then it surprises me you don’t seem to use that to your advantage," he said, crossing his arms.
The Dark One’s grin spliced his mouth with gold. "I like the result of my bidding to be as expected."
It seemed as good enough a cue to leave as any. He didn’t come very far, though, had barely taken the hat off to embark on his next journey before you caught up to him.
"Where are you going this time?"
He smiled to himself, because even with all your whimsical moods he knew you well enough by then to understand you hated being ignored. "Camelot," he answered just as the hat began swirling.
You stepped closer, bare feet crunching the fall leaves on the ground, and when he turned to meet your gaze, the curiosity in your eyes made his heart stumble over itself as he held out his hand, again.
You took it without a moment’s hesitation.
***
There’s a road that leads into town, but it doesn’t lead out. You like how this doesn’t make any sense; it almost feels normal.
Jefferson hates it, of course. It’s easy to read on his face, contempt tinting his every look and gesture an unbecoming shade of green. He hates this world and this wrong life and the fact that everything he wants is right under his nose and yet so far out of reach.
You get that, you really do. But the constant worrying and thinking just drags you down, doesn’t it? No. Ridiculous. So you decide to make a change.
Or rather, things fall into place again.
You work at the library now. People don’t like you as much, but it’s not like that thing at the flower shop was your fault, so they get over it. You love books too much to even consider setting them on fire, and there’s a lot less customer interaction involved, which minimizes the smalltalk. You’ve never liked smalltalk.
You’re perfectly content with your life.
That Friday you find Jefferson hunched over yet another map of the area, tracing the paradoxical routes that should lead onto the interstate and yet never do. Cars break down, bikes crash into trees that appear out of nowhere, and hiking somehow just leads you to walking in circles until you find yourself on main square once again.
It’s a puzzle that’s missing half its pieces, and you’d care about it more if you had any intention of leaving.
"Where do you want to go so badly, anyway?" you asked him once, when his eyes were red-rimmed with lack of sleep and that desperate determination.
"Home," he said, and the finality of that word made your insides twist.
Food and drinks are strictly forbidden in the reading hall, but you sneak him a thermos filled with coffee, anyway, the time for tea long passed.
He smiles at you tiredly as you take a seat opposite him, frowning at the pile of books you’re going to have to sort back onto the shelves past closing time. "Who are you today, then?" he asks, his voice hoarse as if he hasn’t talked all day. He hasn’t taken his scarf off, either, so maybe he’s getting sick.
You squint your eyes at him. "If you’re coming on to me, it’s not working."
Jefferson huffs, and then turns back to his maps. "Not at all."
Maybe it’s working a little, you think as you continue to watch him. After all, there’s method to this madness of his, passion to his pursuit, even though you don’t really understand it.
If he notices you staring, he shows no sign of it, and you’re not about to make him aware of it, not when you’re just starting to get to know each other. Besides, the longer you ponder the possibility of him, the stronger your head starts to pound.
You need to lock up at nine and Jefferson leaves you with another crooked grin that suggests more familiarity than there should be between the two of you. You return it with a bump of your shoulders, and then you watch him walk down the street with his hands in his pockets until he rounds a corner and you roll the shutters down.
Once again, you can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right here.
Because of your migraine, you spill the leftovers of the coffee over a particularly rare collection of fairy tales later that night. The gold-edged pages bleed ink all over the maps, rendering them essentially pretty trash for the perfect townsfolk of Storybrooke. You fold them up as a gift, and then you put your keys into the letterbox for them to pick up on Monday.
***
For a while, it was the two of you on his travels through the different realms, exploring and stealing and doing the unexpected. It was your specialty, after all.
And then, just like that, for a whole while, Jefferson didn’t see you again, not until after he’d met and lost Grace’s mother. It was a particularly cold night in December when he woke to his daughter tugging at his sleeve and a strange noise from outside.
It was rhythmic, swooshing, almost like the wind but accompanied by something like a hum. When he stepped to the window, though, there was nothing outside but darkness and whirling snowflakes.
He managed to get Grace back into bed after some crackers and tea, her eyes drooping closed as she huddled up with the corner of her blanket in her mouth. Jefferson watched her drift back to sleep, and then he returned to the window, because he had this feeling that he couldn’t quite shake. Like someone was calling for him without ever saying his name.
He found you clearing the path leading up to the cottage with your bare hands, the frilly cloak around your shoulders not nearly warm enough to keep out the icy sting of winter. Your fingers were already starting to turn an unhealthy color, and a thin layer of snow sat at the crown of your head like a frozen hat.
Jefferson cursed and grabbed his coat from the bench next to the door.
"What are you doing?" he hissed when he reached you, wrapping you up within seconds. You blinked up at him. Your lashes were glittering with ice.
"It needed cleaning," you said matter-of-factly, without keeping your voice down.
Quickly, he ushered you inside and made you sit next to the fireplace. You only seemed to realize the oddness of your situation now that warmth was returning to your limbs, looking around the room in slow confusion, like you were trying to piece everything together.
Jefferson was putting the kettle back into the fire when you got up again, his coat still draped around your shoulders, and stepped closer to the bed.
"You had a daughter," you said, peering at the sleeping toddler with something almost like a frown. "She’s beautiful."
"She looks like her mother."
"Nonsense. She looks just like you."
The red on his cheeks felt almost like a betrayal, but you didn’t mean that, anyway, so it didn’t count. Still, he was stunned enough to drop his mug, and the sound of it shattering on the floor woke Grace up again. She would be three in spring, then, and she was a smart girl, but she’d stopped talking months ago, instead resorting back to the wails of a much younger child whenever she was upset, and she was hard to calm.
He couldn’t blame her.
Whenever he held her like this, he felt as helpless and alone as he did that first time when she was crying for her mother and there was no one there but him.
Except this time, Jefferson wasn’t alone. To his surprise, you stepped closer and started humming, and then singing under your breath.
To his even bigger surprise, it seemed to soothe Grace.
It was an old song, a familiar song, and you placed a calming hand on his shoulder as he cradled his daughter until she finally fell asleep again. You were still cold enough he could feel it through his shirt, but your voice carried a warmth he wasn’t used to anymore.
You took your tea in comfortable silence, and when the first rays of sunshine started creeping through the branches outside, you told him that you had to leave again. He almost asked how long it would be this time.
Instead, he led you to the door and shook his head as you tried to slip out of his coat. "The weather is supposed to turn again," he said, looking you up and down because he didn’t know when to expect you next. He never did.
"You’re different," you said, and even though you didn’t sound as disappointed as he felt at those words, they still left their mark.
"You’re not," he said, and meant it as a compliment. Somehow, when you met his eye, it didn’t seem like one anymore.
"I wouldn’t be so sure," you answered, and he had no response to that.
You kissed him, then. Sweetly, like a blushing bride would. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do with himself.
It was over far more quickly than he’d have liked, and you stuffed your hands into his coat pockets.
"I’m sorry," you said, and for the first time, you wouldn’t look at him.
But Jefferson could do nothing but stare, even as you finally turned and wandered down the path again, because there you were, with your heart on your sleeve, and he’d just lost his wife, and he didn’t know up from down anymore.
***
Stepping into Jefferson’s sitting room is a little like entering a creature’s belly and sitting down next to its beating heart, pressing so close you can feel it pulsating through you.
There’s a large grandfather clock staring at you from next to the fireplace, and on the mantle there’s a small, wooden alarm, and from there, it’s six and a half steps to the cuckoo clock on the far wall that makes a little rabbit appear every fifteen minutes.
Then, it’s another twenty steps past the living room table to the clock on the even farther wall and the bookcase he stores his silver pocket watch on, in a blue box on the high shelf, next to a dusty collection of fairy tales and an old hat he used to wear on Fridays.
Or was it Sundays?
"You could just go talk to her," you tell him on a Thursday, taking another sip of tea.
Jefferson sinks back in his chair, knuckles at his temples. His chin is still held high in bottomless defiance, but his eyes are so tired. "It’s not that simple."
"It’s not that complicated, either," you shrug. "You’re her father, after all."
"Except I’m the only one to know that."
"I know," you say, and you’re not sure yourself if you mean to sound reassuring or scolding. The thought is head-achingly heavy, so you drop it and pick up a tune instead, quietly humming to yourself as you continue your circles around the room.
It’s an old melody, ghosting through your mind more often than not, a little sad and happy at the same time. You feel Jefferson’s weary gaze on the back of your head, and somehow it makes you smile.
"You remember how it’s supposed to work back at home, though, right? True love conquers all." You chuckle to yourself. The song in your head starts to buzz. "Or," you continue with a dismissive lift of your eyebrow, "are you just going to wait for that savior to appear? How long has it been, ten years?"
"Eight years, three months, two-hundred and seventeen days."
Huh. You could have sworn you’ve been here much longer.
"Then there’s still nineteen years and …" You think for a moment, then shake your head. "You know what, I’m not going to get that right if I tried, and I don’t want to, so let’s just say a while."
He almost laughs at that, a soft, pained look in his eye that you’re not supposed to find charming.
"You’re going to go insane in that time," you say softly. "I would."
"I know." It’s already starting to tug at the tilt of his smile and the twitch in his eye. He hasn’t quite learned to stop caring, yet, and of course he hasn’t. That wouldn’t be like him.
He’s always been your mirror, so why would this be any different?
Things stay they same, and they stay the same, and they stay the same, and you’re sick of it. Apparently, there’s a thing such as too normal a life, and it makes your skin crawl.
So you start tailoring again. Your evenings are long and there’s just a few people that come in regularly, that ask for golden thread to fix their buttons and flaxen yarn to hem their suits. It’s quiet. Terribly quiet. Too quiet.
There’s not a single clock in your shop, and you realize you miss the ticking as soon as you crawl out of the belly of the beast. So you keep returning.
"We used to share a bed," you recall, lifting your arm so Jefferson can reach for the thread you’re holding out as you both sit on the floor, your tools and fabrics spread out over the entire room. You love watching him work, even though you don’t quite understand why he’s so obsessed with making hats. Maybe you just forgot.
"We did", he answers, not even looking at you. It makes you roll your eyes.
"So why don’t we now?"
"That would be rather complicated." His stitching is impeccable.
"Why?" Something throbs between your temples.
"Several reasons, dear." He tilts his head. "Aren’t you late?"
The unpleasant feeling in your chest disappears when you look at the clock. "Shit."
You hastily gather your things and start running to make it back to your shop in time, barely remembering to catch your breath enough to say goodbye, and so you miss the look on his face as he watches you, staying behind in the big house in the middle of the woods.
***
You visited more often, now that you knew about Grace, but Jefferson didn’t know if that was for her sake or for his. One thing that was very clear, however, was that you didn’t care at all about the dirty looks you got from everyone else whenever you strayed off the path to wander towards his cottage, unchaperoned.
Sure, they pitied him, but he was grieving, they said, and you were young and beautiful.
"They’re all so terribly starved for entertainment," you sighed, and then you handed him another pretty pebble you’d found on your way. He put it into the bowl on the window sill.
Grace was getting old enough to get used to you, then, to recognize the hands that tickled her chin and sometimes pulled her up when she fell on the forest ground. She loved your surprises, and your stories were her favorites to listen to when it was bedtime, even though she usually fell asleep long before you stopped talking.
"Did I ever tell you," you continued when the embers were barely glowing anymore but your eyes were shining in the moonlight, "about those pirates that I ran into near—"
"Why did you stay away so long?"
You blinked, and so did he. He hadn’t expected himself to actually ask, not after all this time that you had been back in his life. But the question was out now, sitting between you on the broken floorboards of his broken life, and the night stretched your silence into infinity.
"I wrote you letters," you told him, and it was true, but it wasn’t an answer. So he kept looking at you, and the silence scraped its nails against your skin. "I don’t know," you finally said in a way that told Jefferson you did know and didn’t want to tell him. There was a flustered hum to you that almost made him want to take it back, but the magic that followed each and every of your whims didn’t retreat. Not even a little.
"I was falling in love with you." He’d never admitted it out loud before. Who would he have told?
You laughed nervously, looking over at Grace. "Not very much, clearly."
"You never gave me the chance to do it properly."
"You don’t want me. I could never be a mother." Still, you talked quietly enough not to wake her, and you brought her trinkets and playthings whenever you’d been away for a while. You never brought him anything, but he still felt like he was getting a rare gift every time. It must’ve counted for something.
Besides, this was the first time you’d attempted to reason with him.
"I didn’t have her then," he said anyway, as if that was an argument.
"But you were always going to."
"And what about you and me?"
You bit your lip. "I’m inconvenient."
"I know," he said.
"You can’t rely on me."
"I know," he said.
"You deserve better than me."
Jefferson shook his head, and for the first time since he met you, you looked unsure. So, for the first time since he met you, he was the one doing the incalculable.
He kissed you.
You pulled him closer immediately, all logic forgotten as you crashed into each other, finally on the same page of this twisted story. You kissed him like you wanted him to be the happy ending to your storybook, even though you weren’t cut out for that kind of tale.
You both tried to be, anyway.
***
You’ve run the teashop now for … you’re not quite sure. Forever, maybe. It sure feels like your whole life has been spent between boxes of fragrant leaves, with a kettle always shrieking somewhere in the house and you humming whatever tune it sings to you.
But your hands are dirty, and no matter how much you brush your nails under scalding water, there always seems to be grime underneath them. Like you’re repotting plants in your sleep. Or clawing at the ground.
Your life is filled with sound, with constant chatter and gossip, because your front door is barely a five minute walk from Storybrooke secondary and the schoolgirls have developed an obsession with the shortbread and ginger muffins you serve with their tea. They reward you with whatever pocket money they can find at the bottom of their school bags and any gossip about their teachers they’ve eavesdropped on that week.
You constantly have a headache, but it’s fun, in a way. And you get to see Grace.
Your hand stops midair as you reach out for the lavender tea the girl ordered, staring unfocused until she clears her throat expectantly.
“Sorry,” you say, still dazed, “lost my train of thought there.”
The girl—Paige, you remember now, you heard her friend say her name when they entered the shop, Come on, Paige, and something about it made your stomach turn—tips her head to the side in a way that’s familiar, even though you don’t know why. “Can I have that to go?“ she adds, a quick look over her shoulder to where her friends are giggling.
“Sure.”
You only serve tea in loose leaves, because you believe trapping your window to the future in a small bag doesn’t do anyone any good, even though most of your customers don’t know how to tip their residue into their saucers in the proper way. You do it for them, sometimes, if they leave enough cold tea in their cups for you to do it after the door has clicked shut behind them. You knew about the mayor’s adoption papers going through before she knew about it herself, and you’d felt pretty smug about that.
The perfect amount of time to steep lavender tea is five minutes and forty-six seconds, and because you can’t trust a child to particularly care for such precision, you keep the steaming paper cup behind the counter until your timer goes off. You stir a dollop of honey in, humming to yourself, before you hand Paige the cup. She doesn’t really look at you, already distracted by another snippet of conversation, but she still flashes you a quick smile before hurrying to catch up with the others. The bell above the door jingles again, and the man stepping inside holds the door open for the girls to file outside, chattering excitedly. His other hand is balled up into a fist so tight it makes his knuckles stand out white.
He takes a deep breath before he turns and regards you. “You’re in a good mood.”
“I suppose so,” you say, even though it interrupts your humming. “Can I get you anything?”
His smile is small, but beautiful. “I think you already are.”
It’s then you notice you’ve pulled out one of the mugs from your good set without even asking, heaping two and a half spoonsful of your favorite blend inside like it’s the most natural thing for you to do upon his entrance.
Before you can apologize, he turns the sign in your window to 'closed' and sits down at the counter with a patient look, eyes very intense as they search yours, his face unreadable. None of it feels threatening, just … expectant.
So you continue with your instinctual movements, even though you’re not sure how you know what he’s waiting for. You feel like there’s something you’re missing, and it doesn’t come to you until you hand him his mug.
The mask falls when he says your name, your real name, and your lips twist into a smile that’s so unsure of itself it almost curls inwards.
You remember, you remember.
Every single lifetime falls back into place until the one that came first stays at the forefront. You cling to the thought like someone fights with a dream to be allowed to stay a little longer, battling oblivion with the resolution of a dragon slayer.
"How long was I gone this time?" you ask, hands clasping the counter more tightly and blinking fast as if that could keep the forgetting away.
"Hard to say," Jefferson answers. "A few weeks. You’re getting better."
You know he’s lying, because in the beginning, it would only take you a couple of days to remember. Now, your moments of clarity seem to be farther apart every time. "Was she nice?"
If you were going to remember any of this in a while, you’d really miss being the girl from the tea shop. You’ve been enjoying this version of things, the simplicity and the small dosages of variety, like little treats in this viscous monotony.
He shrugs with one shoulder. "She’s you."
"So, no."
His smile always seems sad these days. "So, nice in the ways that matter. You always are."
Somehow, you doubt that. "What day is it?" you ask.
"Seventeen years, six months, forty-five days."
You don’t ask him if there’s been any progress; you know there hasn’t been. Instead, you round the counter and put your arms around him. You feel him sag against you, his sigh of relief barely audible against your shoulder. You can’t help but wonder how long it’s been since Jefferson’s touched another person.
He pulls you close enough for you to feel his heartbeat in your own chest, and you barely breathe as you tighten the embrace even more, trying to hold both of you upright.
"Your hair’s getting longer again," you mumble after a very long time, dragging your thumb against the back of his neck.
"Don’t lie," he answers hoarsely, lifting his head without opening his eyes, your noses bumping before he rests his forehead against yours. "I miss you."
It breaks your heart, how easily it slips out.
Your lips seek his carefully, then more confident, because you don’t know how else to express your own feelings. This kiss, like all the ones before, is a promise you both know you won’t be able to keep.
Hope still tastes bitter on his tongue.
***
He’d always hated Wonderland, but he’d never hated it more than when he got stuck there and felt his sanity slip through his fingers a little bit more every day. Time didn’t make sense here, nothing did.
But if there was one thing that he could always rely upon, it was that you didn’t much care for sense.
"There you are." A voice as familiar as an old song woke him up from another nightmare. "What on earth are you doing in this hole?"
Jefferson opened his eyes. You were like a vision, not even paying attention to the disbelief in his eyes as you dusted off one of the useless hats.
"How," he croaked.
You chuckled a little and continued to look around the room. His cell. His locked cell with guards posted outside.
He sat up so quickly his vision went black for a moment. "How are you here?"
"You were gone so long," you said. "I was bored."
"You—" He held your cheek, your waist, your shoulder. You felt cool to the touch, but solid, real. Eyes innocent and glittering with your usual mischief, as if this was completely normal. "Have you seen Grace? Is she alright?"
"She misses you, too."
He didn’t even pay attention to it, then, but he remembered that little "too" at the end later, many, many times.
"Can you get me home?"
Your smile was soft and sad and sliced him in two all over again. You gently tugged at the bow around his neck, and then you simply said, "No."
So he raged. He bargained. He begged.
But you could not, would not budge, even though your eyes grew heavy as you listened to him. Like this was a disappointing development for you.
He already knew he was nothing more.
He stared at you when he was done, chest heaving, still on his knees in front of you even though he could no longer meet your eye. You didn’t say anything.
"Are you angry with me?"
"No," you said again. You brushed your hands through his hair and slowly sank down to his level.
It was only then that he realized tears were falling from his eyes. Gently, you wiped them off his cheeks, and then, holding his face in your hands, you pressed a kiss to his forehead before touching your own to the same spot.
"Grace sends this," you whispered.
Jefferson closed his eyes, heart twisting with that unspeakable ache.
"There’s something you need to know," you said, your voice already carrying the weight of it. As if all of this hadn’t been enough. "Something bad is coming."
"Isn’t it always?" he asked, but then he felt your magic flicker in a way it never had before. Like it was nervous.
And then lightning struck outside.
When he looked at your face, your eyes were rolled back and your magic was lashing out in all directions, clashing against the walls in terror. "There’s danger if I dare to stop and here’s a reason why," you sing-songed, unfocused, and Jefferson caught your hands before you clawed at your own face. "I’m over-due, no no no no, goodbye, hello." You hiccuped.
Dread washed through him in an icy shockwave. He’d seen you in a state of confusion before, many times, but this was different, not just overwhelmed but panicked. Your magic was literally spilling out of you now, like it was trying to escape whatever fate you’d seen coming, and you would’ve doubled over with it had he not held you upright.
"Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run run." You giggled. "Did you know I’m a bunny in a book?"
"Sweetheart, you need to focus."
The next thunder rolled outside and you screamed, but it seemed to knock some sense back into you because your eyes weren’t quite so glassy anymore when you looked at him again. "Oh, this next part won’t be fun."
Something knocked at the door and then it burst open, dark purple whirls of magic filling the room within seconds, accompanied by roaring winds and a thumping sound that reminded him of a beating heart. Your hands came up to cup Jefferson’s face and you gave him the saddest, most knowing smile he’d ever seen on you.
The wind almost swallowed your voice, but whatever magic hadn’t left you yet let him hear your words anyway.
"Some people really don’t deserve a wish."
Then, everything went black.

Jefferson (OUAT) X Reader
Word Count: 1,171
Warnings: Fluff
Summary: Jefferson comes to your rescue with his hat and takes you to his cottage in the Enchanted Forest where the both of you spend Christmas in his cottage.
A/N: I know I'm a little late like 7 days haha but I think that if I try hard enough I'm able to catch up with the Christmas Masterlist :) Day 1 of Christmas writings and I'm new to the seasonal writing so be nice please and give your love and support :)
Tumblr media
"You guys are always doing stupid stuff like that… What's the point of even dressing up like 'the perfect family,' when we're clearly not!" You slam the cutlery against the table and gets up to go into your room as you lock the door before sitting on the bed. You leaned your head against the headboard and sigh to yourself.
You loved your family more than anything in the world except for when they lied to themselves while knowing the truth. It wasn't always this way. You did have a perfect family until your mother got into a gambling addiction. Your father had no choice but for him to divorce her. He did, however, remarry which made you look forward to always seeing him happy but at what cost?
You were always the oddling though. Liking different things from your half-siblings because of the wide age gap seeing as you were much older than them. Of course, it was okay to like different things because it meant that you had a personality compared to Asher and Ezekiel or as they liked to be called, Ash and Zeke.
You were thinking about how you were going to spend your time after making your decision to stay at home while your family went out to celebrate Christmas. However, your thoughts were cut short and interrupted as a man opened your closet and stepped out from behind it.
"Hi, where might I be?" The strange man with a funny-looking halloween-esque costume looked around before questioning you while taking his hat off.
"Y-Your standing in my room," You looked at him confused as he stood there dumbfounded before you giggled softly as you covered your mouth.
"Yes… right. I better get going then."
"No, wait! What's your name?" You questioned him wanting to know as you weren't going to let this random man with magic leave before granting your wish for Christmas this year.
"My name is Jefferson," He replied while bowing respectfully before going to you to take your hand and kiss it gently.
As you tell him your name you realise that something about him stood out to you. He looked as though he was dressed like The Mad Hatter. You questioned him to see if he was to which he replied and invited you to his cottage where dreams come true so that you could see it for yourself.
You nodded and grabbed a few of your things before standing behind him as he reopened your closet door. He stepped into it taking you with him to his cottage in the Enchanted Forest. As you crossed the portal it was like lightning had flashed past you in an instant. You blinked and realised that you were now on the other side of this unknown portal but were in an old-looking cottage.
As you wandered the cottage, taking an interest in its design, you bumped into a little girl who introduced herself to you as Grace before being interrupted by someone as they cleared their throat. You turned around to face Jefferson again seeing him pick his hat off the floor before walking to you.
"That's my daughter, I hope you don't mind."
You shake your head not minding at all as you smile at Grace while rubbing her head before she leads you to her room as you laugh while looking back at Jefferson.
As Jefferson prepares dinner, you and Grace are sitting in her room playing with her dolls while having 'tea' before you proceed to braid her hair and help her to find something nice to wear for dinner.
As time passes you get more hungry and tired and decide to go check on Jefferson sneaking up behind him.
Jefferson turns around holding the scissors in his hand before putting it down realising that it was a split second away from your face, "SORRY!"
"It's okay," You smile at Jefferson before realising that you're being cornered against the counter as it brushes against your lower back.
You continue to look up into Jefferson's eyes smiling at him and giving him mixed signals as he cups the right side of your face. As you looked away Jefferson directs your face to look at him again before he leans down to kiss you as you tilt your head allowing him to.
"Papa-" Grace walks into the kitchen from her room with a doll in her hand before looking up and seeing the adults in front of her breaking apart to pretend like they hadn't just kissed as she smiles innocently at them.
"Dinner's almost ready, Grace," You told her as you smile back nervously before looking away and going to prepare the table for them.
Grace nods and takes a seat before talking about her doll and how she needs it to be sewn back together as the seam tore apart. You agreed to help her as you felt a connection to her, almost like she was your own daughter. Jefferson brings the dinner to the table as you tell them how thankful you are to be able to spend Christmas together with them before eating.
When dinner's over, Jefferson cleans up and washes the dinner as you help him to tuck Grace into bed before taking her doll and sewing it back up together as you sat in the living room. Jefferson comes over a while later when he's done with the washing of dishes and sits beside you.
"Thank you for your help tonight with Grace," Jefferson admires you sewing the doll as he tucks a strand of hair behind your ear.
"That's okay. She's a sweetheart," You continue to sew up the doll as you reply to Jefferson.
Jefferson continues to admire you as you can feel his gaze on you before quickly finishing up the stitches and leaving the doll on the table. You feel Jefferson's fingers on your chin as he turned your face to look at him before he leaned forward to kiss you. Jefferson carries you to his room and lays you on his bed as he lies beside you cuddling you.
"Goodnight, doll," Jefferson whispered softly before closing his eyes and going to sleep as you reciprocated his actions.
When you awoke the next morning, you found that you were back in your room on your bed. You felt something in your palm as you opened your hand to discover a handkerchief in it. There was also a top hat sitting on your bed with a note. You sat up and leaned forward to reach the note before taking it and reading it.
'If you wish to see me again, wait till nightfall before tapping on the hat five times' - Jefferson.
You smiled reading the note before taking the top hat and flipping it as you put it on and laughed to yourself. You then took it off to hold it to your chest as you laid back down and closed your eyes thinking about Jefferson and how you intend to impress him tonight.

Deadly Vibes
Summary: Jefferson comes to check on you late at night during a violent night of chaos.
Warnings; vampire au, mentions of violence
A/N: please reblog my writing if you enjoyed!!!
Stirring awake, you felt your heart pounding deep within your chest. Sitting up, you wiped sweat from your face as you squinted into the darkness of your room, wondering what had caused the sudden urge to wake up in the middle of the night.
“It’s good to see you again, love.” his voice was barely above a whisper. “I’ve been worried over you.”
“Jefferson...” Gasping lightly at the sound of his voice, your eyes finding him perched atop your windowsill balancing in the balls of his feet with practiced ease . In the moonlight, you could only see half of his features, the other half shrouded in darkness. Sounds of screams and shouts echoed in from the open window. “What are you doing here, my love? Has something happened tonight? Are you hurt?”
“No,” he blinked, his head cocking to the side, one ear pointed to the window, holding back a grimace. “I just had to see you, Y/N.” You flung the duvet away from your body as he took a gentle step onto your floorboards. “I’ve missed you, Y/N. I needed to know that you were safe; it’s dangerous out there during these troubling times.”
“Stay with me tonight,” you pleaded, reaching out to take his cold hands in your own. “Jefferson, stay.”
“I cannot.” he frowned, pulling you close to his body. You sighed itno his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. “I must go; I have to protect the others.”
“When will I see you again?” you asked as he gently pulled out of your touch.
“I’m unsure, Y/N.” He looked troubled for a long moment as he glanced out of the window. “It’s been hell out there lately. With the attacks on the innocent villagers. I have plenty of scouting to handle with the others.”
“Something’s happened, then?” you gently prodded. “Someone got murdered?”
“Nothing to worry yourself over, Y/N.” He forced a grin as he glanced at you one more before gliding over to the window on soft feet and heaving himself on the sill again. “I’ll return soon, my love.”
You nodded as he leaped from the window and landed on the ground below before taking off in a quick sprint.

Jefferson had thought he had remembered everything about his life in the Enchanted Forest. He remembered Grace, he remembered thinking that he would do just one last job and he’d never have to worry about money again. He remembered arriving in Storybrooke via the curse, he remembered being the only one who did remember. But there was one memory that he didn’t have until now. One very big memory, about you. 
You, his beloved wife. Why had Regina made him forget you? Wouldn’t it have aided in his suffering by making his remember that he had a whole family he could never contact? What was her motive? 
When the curse was broken, he was initially terrified of what would happen when he saw you and Grace again. Would you be ashamed? Would you be upset with him? Would you tell him to fuck off? Would Grace want nothing to do with the father who abandoned her? 
But then, he finally got over his fears, and he went looking for the two of you. 
But he only found Grace. 
And as he held her in his arms, he couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Where’s momma? Have you seen her?”
And she sobbed quietly, whispering, “She died, papa. After you left.”
You were gone. He lost you. He didn’t even get to say goodbye. He didn’t even know you had died. He would never get to say goodbye. 
And oh, that was far worse than any curse that Regina could have ever cast on him.

Despite popular belief, I dont think that Miles' parents would hate Hobie right off the bat:
Rio and Jefferson meeting Hobie but it plays out like that episode of Daria where Trent and Jane lived with Daria's family and they didn't know what to do because they've never really lived in a household with two parents that are at least semi involved in their lives
Like imagine by circumstance Hobie gets manipulated into staying at the Morales'-Davis household for a few days after Hobie accidentally says that his parents aren't around after Rio and Jefferson say that his parents are probably worried about him being out at their house late.
Rio insists because Hobie obviously doesn't eat enough and could use a few days of good meals and the bags under his eyes have bags and Jefferson agrees because Hobie needs someone to show him "guidance" and to help him "get his life together", and Miles is just shocked that his parents not only love his boyfriend, they basically made him a part of the family.
Hobie tries to be grateful at first but then he gets overwhelmed when Rio and Jefferson actually scold him for staying out too late because he's never had a curfew and they sit him down and talk to him about going to college and shit.
He gets so overwhelmed because their need to parent this boy is so strong, he makes up some bullshit about his "uncle" taking him into his custody just so he can go back to his universe.

A Sweetened Taste
Summary: secrets never last…
Warnings: vampire au, slight angst
Pairing: Jefferson x GN!Reader
The day you had found out Jefferson wasn’t a human being changed your life forever. He didn’t know you had found out about his double life, but he noticed early on that you had started acting differently towards him. But you couldn’t really help your actions; Your boyfriend was a fucking creature of the night. What the hell was so normal about that? Nothing!
He’d always asked if you were in a funk or just tired. You’d always agreed with him whenever he noticed you flinching away from his touch. He noticed early on that you would hardly cuddle with him at night. He noticed you seemed distracted more often. Eventually, he had asked if you no longer loved him. But that wasn’t the case at all. You loved Jefferson with your entire heart-a feat that now seemed terrifying.
But after your shocking discovery, you’d started to notice that he strayed away from certain things; he always picked garlic out of his food, he always preferred taking you out at night- less people around to bother him, he had always claimed. Sometimes he’d stay out of the house for hours, without a single text or a call to inform you that he was okay, that he was only out with his friends.
For a long while, you had assumed the man -creature??- was cheating on you. One day, you had decided to follow him one of the many nights where he claimed to be out with his friends.You had stealthily followed him with your car, always keeping a safe distance from him as to not be caught.
He’d turned down an alleyway far too narrow for your car to fit through so you had decided to follow him on foot. You were terrified with each step you took. You had thought it odd that he had a date in the middle of some dark alleyway.
But all those thoughts had come to a splintering halt when you heard him chuckle darkly- a sound you never imagined coming from the man at all. He approached three men who stood in the shadows a little distance away from you as you took cover behind a smelly dumpster. You were far away enough to not be seen, but close enough to hear the words that had been spoken.
“Ready for your weekly feeding?” a man asked, grinning at your boyfriend with a wide grin.
“Always.” Jefferson chuckled, shaking the hands of the other men. “What bitch are we feeding from tonight?”
“Her name is Emma.” The first man had introduced, beckoning to a female. He gripped her by the throat before sliding his hand towards her mouth. “She won’t blabber on. I fed on her a few times last week after that damn attack from Rumple.”
“She’s clean?” Jefferson asked, stepping towards Emma with a shimmering glint in his eyes, a look that terrified you. “Tasty, even?”
“Simply the best.”
Jefferson smirked before swiftly stepping up towards the girl and you nearly squealed in horror as you noticed thick, long fangs sliding out of your boyfriend's mouth before they sink deeply into the girl’s throat. You couldn’t watch anymore and before you had gotten caught, you bolted out of the alley and back to your car. Surely, you were dreaming about all of this, right?
Later that night, he’d come home, clothes freshly washed, not a drip of scarlet splattered across his skin. You acted as normally as possible, until dinner. He’d sensed you were off, or perhaps you weren’t hiding your fright as well as you thought you were.
“Baby bean?” he asked, his fork halfway to his mouth as he bored his gaze onto you. “You’ve been acting strange lately. Is everything okay?”
Fiddling with the hem of your shirt as you were seated in front of him, you puffed out your cheeks before looking up at him. “I need to ask you something, Jefferson.” you waited for him to nod before continuing, “I need to know what’s going on with you.”
An emotion flickered behind his bright blue eyes before his brows furrowed questioningly. “Meaning?”
“I followed you earlier today, I had suspicions, but nothing of what I’ve seen today could have prepared me for the damned truth.”
“You’ve-you-” he took a calming breath before the fork dropped from his hand and he folded his hands in front of him before pressing his forehead to them. “What do you want to know? Y/N, you have to understand, I never wanted you to find out that way. I was terrified that you would leave if I revealed that to you.”
“And now?” You hesitate, choosing your next words carefully. “I still love you, but I don’t know what to do.”
“I never wanted you to be in the harm’s spotlight, Y/N. You have to believe that I kept this a secret to protect you. I’ve loved you always. I’ve always stayed by your side.”
“Have you ever killed anyone?” you swallowed the vomit that rose in your throat. “How old are you?”
“Yes, I have, when I was first born into this world. I’m older than Cleopatra, that’s for sure. I haven’t cared to remember my age in centuries.” He started running his figners around the plate in front of him.
“Who were those men out there with you?”
“They’re called Chasers; they track down specific blood types for vampires. The girl I fed off tonight, her name was Emma Swan. Drinking their blood keeps me sated. Though, I don’t drink as often as I’d like.”
You nodded, not knowing what to say to him. Long moments pass by before he shifted in his seat and scooted closer to you. He reached his hand out slowly, as if expecting you to reject his advances. You flinched, but stayed motionless as he caressed your cheek. “I never wanted you to find out this way, Y/N.”
“I don’t hate you for it, if that’s what you’re worried over.” you forced a smile.
“You’re lying and I know it.” he sighed and leaned back, letting his head drop back for a moment before lifting and running a hand down his face.
“Can you blame me for being frightened of you?”
“No, I can’t. And I don’t blame you if you decide to walk out of here and never talk to me again.”
“Will you be okay?” you asked.
“No.” he admitted, forcing a reassuring grin. “It’s happened before. But I’ll find another lover eventually. Maybe tomorrow, maybe six hundred years from now.”
“Don’t be dramatic.” you rolled your eyes.
He smiled as you stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

Tumblr media
Miles Morales and his younger sister, (Y/n), shared a special bond. While Miles was often the one who found himself in the spotlight, (Y/n) was content to be a daddy's girl, cherishing the moments she spent with their father. Despite being a teenager, she didn't shy away from the cherished daddy-daughter dates that brought her immense joy and comfort.
One sunny Saturday morning, Miles and (Y/n)'s father, Jefferson, came into (Y/n)'s room with a wide smile on his face. "Hey, sweetheart, it's our special day. How about a daddy-daughter date?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.
(Y/n) beamed at the invitation, her heart filling with excitement. "I'd love that, Dad!" she replied, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.
The two made their way to the local park, hand in hand, enjoying the warmth of the sun on their faces. They strolled along the path, the sound of laughter and birdsong filling the air. The park was alive with families and friends enjoying their weekend.
(Y/n) glanced up at her father, admiration shining in her eyes. "Dad, do you remember when we used to do this all the time?" she asked, a nostalgic smile playing on her lips.
Jefferson nodded, his gaze filled with love and nostalgia. "Of course, (Y/n). Those were some of the best moments of my life," he replied, his voice tinged with sentiment.
They found a cozy spot under a large oak tree and spread out a blanket. Jefferson unpacked a picnic basket, revealing an assortment of sandwiches, fruit, and homemade lemonade. The simple act of sharing a meal together brought them closer, their laughter filling the air.
As they ate, (Y/n) couldn't help but marvel at her father's wisdom and warmth. She admired his unwavering support and the way he encouraged her to be true to herself. She cherished the moments they spent together, unafraid to show her love and admiration for her dad.
After their meal, Jefferson pulled out a small notebook and pencil. "Let's play a game, (Y/n). We'll take turns writing down things we appreciate about each other," he suggested, a mischievous smile on his face.
(Y/n) laughed, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "That sounds fun, Dad. You start," she said, handing him the notebook.
Jefferson took a moment to think before writing down his first entry. He passed the notebook to (Y/n), who eagerly read his words of appreciation. Her eyes welled up with tears as she realized the depth of her father's love for her.
As they continued the game, their words flowed freely, each entry a testament to their bond and the admiration they held for each other. The notebook became a treasure trove of memories and affirmations, capturing the essence of their relationship.
Hours passed as they enjoyed each other's company, sharing stories, dreams, and laughter. They played games, took leisurely walks, and even enjoyed a friendly race through the park. In those moments, Miles and his superhero alter-ego seemed distant as (Y/n) and Jefferson reveled in the simplicity and authenticity of their connection.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, (Y/n) and Jefferson made their way back home. They walked hand in hand, their hearts filled with a sense of contentment and love.
As they approached their front door, (Y/n) turned to her father, a genuine smile on her face. "Thank you, Dad, for today. I don't care if I'm a teenager; these moments mean the world to me," she expressed, her voice filled with sincerity.
Jefferson's eyes sparkled with emotion as he pulled (Y/n) into a tight embrace. "You're my precious girl, (Y/n), no matter how old you get. Our daddy-daughter dates will always be special," he replied, his voice filled with love and warmth.
In that embrace, (Y/n) knew that her father's love was unwavering, a guiding light in her life. She treasured their daddy-daughter dates and the memories they created, knowing that their bond would forever be unbreakable.
