Our Happy Little [P]antheon (and other things that suck)

“I couldn’t get my mind off of you.” she admitted, closing her eyes and adjusting herself on his chest for just a moment, so that her ear was against his heart, listening to his steady heartbeat beneath her. She let out a small breath before closing her eyes and relaxing her hold around him just slightly, so that her arm was more just draped over him than actively embracing him, her body never more relaxed than it was at that moment. “Every morning when I woke up and saw the sun I thought of you,” she admitted softly.

“And then… And then there were days, weeks, when it hurt too much to see the sun, so I’d wake up before sunrise. I’d work out, I’d do homework, I’d try to do something to get my mind off of you, but then I’d walk outside of the building and the sun would be there, and it’d wash over me and I’d be reminded of you..>” she whispered softly before opening her eyes and looking at him, embarrassment and adoration twined together in her gaze. "So many guys would come up and hit on me, and whenever they did, I felt like your arm was around me, holding me closer to you. I could practically hear your growling at them to back off. It was... It was nice. It made me feel wanted. Horrible," she added quickly, blushing and then looking back at him with a little smile. "Because I walked away from you. But wanted."

“I felt stupid that I couldn’t get over you. Now I’m glad I never did." she finished softly.

“I can’t believe that you’re here. You’re in New Haven? I thought you always said that you hated Connecticut. Something about stuck up Colonial soldiers and a crazy ex?” she asked softly, looking at him for another moment before grinning and closing her eyes, allowing herself to just rest against him once more, listening to his heartbeat for the reassurance that he was, in fact, there with her, that this wasn’t just one long dream that she was going to wake up from absolutely heartbroken, her fingers gently gripping his warm skin. “I can’t believe you came here for me."

“Then I don’t see any reason why I can’t have you forever.” Fei breathed as she looked up at him, running her fingers through his hair for just a second before grinning and reaching up, pressing her lips to his for a long moment before pulling away and smirking. “Which means that you’re mine forever. Which means that no other girls can have you, because you belong to me.” she stated, tugging the blankets around her shoulders as she sat up in bed, ignoring the fact that she was- sort of- clothed at the moment- she was still a little chilly and she wanted to cover up.

After a second of reveling in that fact, her eyes turned back to him with more of a possessive fire in them than was probably healthy, and she had a smile so sweet that it had to be fake plastered across her face. “Which means that I think it’s about d*mn time I met this Sunny girl. Let her know what’s going on here. And what is not, nor will ever be happening between the two of you. I don’t care if you say she’s not interested, I can guarantee that there’s at least a part of her that’s interested. And I want to stomp that part into oblivion.” she announced, that same innocent and friendly smile across her face despite her literal words of war. “So when am I going to be introduced?”

Sunny slipped the last of the pancakes on to the breakfast tray and, after making sure that the smell of smoke was entirely gone from a mishap earlier that morning, she picked up the tray and moved into the bedroom, setting it on the side table before crawling over the covers and over next to her boyfriend. She watched Owen sleeping for a long second- in the least creepy way possible, if there is one- before pressing her lips to his nose gently, then his cheeks, then his lips, waking him up in the only way she knew how that wasn’t sucking his d*ck.

When his eyes finally flickered open, a genuine smile stretched across the girl’s face and she ran her fingers over his forehead, pushing some of his hair to the side, before kissing him again, the touch slow and loving and sensual and delicate, before pulling away and smiling at him. “Good morning, baby…” she whispered softly, a little grin across her face.

“It turns out that Rae and Fei got together, which means that my job here is done. Which means that I’m all yours for the next three days. And in thanks for putting up with me and coming all the way to New York even when I know you had things you wanted to do… I made you breakfast. And I really made it. I didn’t even call room service.” she assured, keeping her voice low and soft, looking at him for another long moment before she reached over and picked up the tray from the floor, resting it next to him a second later and smiling. “I wanted to pretend like I was a good girlfriend, at least for a little while.” she finished, apology obvious in her voice.

“Yes, I’m jealous. You keep talking about Sunny this and Sunny that,” Fei muttered, glancing down at his hand for a moment before shooting him a warning look, letting him know she didn’t want his touch to trail a whole lot higher, before she crossed her arms and pouted. “And I know that you had no control over this, but she spent the last two months with you while I was stuck in this godforsaken state. So, yeah. I want to make sure she didn’t get any ideas.” she grumbled, looking down at him for a moment before smirking and pressing her lips to his neck, sucking in after just a second and marking him again.

“Just across the hall?” she asked when she pulled away, her eyes literally glowing green for a second before she closed them and took a deep breath, digging her fingernails into his chest lightly. “I’m going to assume the best and hope that you made the room reservations, because otherwise I may actually cut this girl.” she announced when she opened her eyes, quieting as he kissed her, some of her anger seeping away as her eyes fluttered shut once more. when she pulled away, though, and saw the smirk across his face, that satisfied look that she knew so well, she gave a little growl and shook her head. “No, no. You can’t distract me. I AM going to set the record straight with this chick.”

—

Sunny frowned slightly when he didn’t sit up, a pout crossing her face when he ruined- already- her idea of how this perfect morning was going to go, but then he was talking to her in that sexy voice of his that she loved so much and she gave a little murmur. “Fine. But you have to eat your breakfast before it gets cold, because I worked really hard on that.” she murmured softly, setting it off to the side once more before crawling up to him and slipping back under the blankets, cruling her arms around him instinctively as she grew close to him.

“You’re so warm…” she murmured distractedly, her hand tracing over his chest slowly, and one could call it lovingly without having to stretch their imagination too much. She looked up at him after a second and brushed his hair from his face again, knowing that it’d keep falling over his eyes until he finally got up and gelled it but, if she was being honest, she kind of liked this look too. “I love you.” she whispered after a second, her face flaming red the second she said it. “I do’t think I tell you that enough."

“I know what you’re trying to do…” Fei accused when she felt Rae’s lips slowly trailing up her neck, trying her hardest to maintain a stern countenance, but utterly failing when his lips reached that spot on her neck. “D*mn you, Rae…” she groaned under her breath, rolling around and pressing her lips to his hungrily after a second, unable to deny him- not that she ever really could. Looking back on it now, all it ever felt like was her delaying the inevitable. And, boy, had she wasted time.

“Don’t think… Don’t think this is distra-distracting me, though.” she muttered as she pulled away a second later, moving to glare at him for a long second, but then his hand was on her and guiding her lips back down to his, and of course she complied. They were Rae’s kisses, after all, and after three whole months apart, she was determined never to waste an opportunity to kiss him again. “In fact, it makes you… you seem really guilty.” she finished with a grumble, pulling away again and this time getting a glare in, but then his hands traced over her lower back and she, once more, melted into him. Cheater… she thought, though her mouth was much more occupied with other things than telling him off for leading some poor mortal girl on.

Sunny gave a squeak when she felt him flopping on top of her, trying to wiggle away the second she realized what he was doing- and moreso afterwards- but absolutely failing, a groan escaping her when she realized she was utterly trapped. “Owen, your fat *ss is crushing me…” she huffed as she tried to shove him off for another second or two, though she gave up after that and just flopped back on the bed, glaring at him, her cheeks turning even more red at his confession. It was at his observation, though, that she reached up and covered her face with her hands, giving another little squeak.

“It just sounds so corny,” she groaned from underneath the hands covering her face- though it was clear she was still blushing due to the fact that her ears were bright red- peeking out of her hands for just a moment before spotting him and hiding again. “It sounds like something a five year old would say to another five year old. But at the same time it’s just so freaking final.” she added with a pouty huff, pulling her hands away from her eyes after another few seconds, though, and looking at him with a teasing grin, though it was bashful all the same. “I do, though. Love you. A lot.” she finished softly.

“Guilty of sleeping with her. You’re kissing me to shut me up…” Fei muttered, though her voice was devoid of any accusation, and after just a moment she gave a happy little giggle and latched her lips to his once more, her teeth hitting against his lightly, though it just made a shudder run through her in pleasure. She just kissed him, and kissed him and kissed him, and when she pulled away she looked down at him and gave a little growl. “I can’t believe I ever thought it was a good idea to f*cking leave..” she whispered before attacking his lips a long second later, her hands trailing over his body.

ooc: Wanna stop RPing these two for a little while? I want to have a Fei/Sunny showdown, I think that could be funny, but for the moment it’s just a little boring. I’m all for Sowen though.

“I know you do.” she muttered, though her final word was cut off by his lips, an interruption that she really, really didn’t mind. She kissed him back happily, pulling away after a long moment with his lower lip, letting go of it after just a second so that it snapped back to him with a little pop, a smirk across her face. “Stop kissing me when we’re having an actual moment. I don’t let you have these very often, you should be cherishing it while you still can…” she grumbled, though her blush was back bright red as she reminded him that she was, in fact, talking about feelings, something that she usually made an active effort to avoid.

“You’re always so obvious about how you feel about me. You say it all the time.” she murmured after a moment as she looked up at him, her fingers tracing over the defined lines of his face slowly, gently, before she pulled away tentatively and looked at him with a little grin, a frown across her face. “I’m sorry that I’m not like that with you. You deserve a girlfriend who will be clingy when you go out in public and be possessive in a way that’s actually cute, and not feral like I am…' she muttered before reaching up and give him a soft kiss. “I’m sorry I’m not better for you."

Sunny blushed when she heard his comments, tilting her head to the side as if that would somehow shield her eyes from seeing his, though of course it did nothing. Instead, she got drawn in to his honey gaze, watching the love and adoration and maybe even pride shining there, and she had to swallow hard to remind herself that she had no need to cry. That she didn’t cry. She was Sunny Flores, a few stupid words from her boyfriend weren’t going to bring her to tears. But, when she whispered, “I love you so much…” and let her hands run through his hair once more, she couldn’t deny that her voice cracked a tiny bit.

“You’re perfect, too…” she breathed after a second, giggling when she felt his lips on her nose, pouting up at him for a playful second before catching his eyes again, wanting to make sure that he knew she was serious. “You’re so nice to me all the time even when I’m not nice back, and you smooth out my edges, and you’re so smart… I wonder what I ever did to deserve you.” she finished before holding up a finger to his lips, stopping his protests before they even came out. “And that’s not me self-depricating, I promise. That’s you just being the most amazing person ever.” she finished softly, a small smile across her face.

“I know what I could ask for...” Sunny hummed teasingly, running her fingers through his hair slowly before pulling away and sitting up, looking down at him with a little giggle. “I want you to eat the goddamn breakfast I made you instead of just letting it get cold on the floor. We can snuggle later, dammit...” she grumbled playfully. She looked down at him for just a moment before pressing her lips to his softly, pulling away and grabbing the tray a moment later, setting it on his lap.

“You’d better really love me for this, mister, because it took me ages to make. This is actually my third attempt at the toast. I burnt the first two pieces of bread, and then I accidentally put apple jelly on the second two. I washed the knife, I promise, I’m not about to let you go into anaphylactic shock on our romantic vacation together.” She hummed, looking at him for a moment before giggling and reaching over, plucking a strawberry from the side of his plate. “Well? Go on! Eat! This is probably the last time ever you’re going to catch me cooking, so you’d better enjoy it...” she hummed with a smirk, though based off the look on his face, she found herself maybe considering doing it more often. Especially if he gave her that look every time.

Will looked at Mari for a long moment, just resting his head on his hand and gazing over at the perfect girl right next to him. He didn’t know how he got so lucky that she actually decided she wanted him. Somehow he’d managed to be awkward enough that she actually liked it, and he would never stop being thankful for the day they met. She was the single best thing in his life and he didn’t even have to think about it, he just knew. Without her, his life was boring and nothing. She was the reason for him to live. Coming back home to her was the best reward any man could ever ask for. He was going to marry her one day, no matter how long she made him wait. He was positive.

After watching her for longer than was probably healthy, he grinned and rolled over so he was on top of her, scattering her face with kisses to wake her up, a massive, stupid grin across his face in the few seconds between each kiss. “Mari, darling, wake up...” he coped when we started to wiggle beneath him, sitting back on his knees to give her space to rise. He’d learned that the hard way when they’d cracked their faces against each other. She’s Meeting my family today... he thought, trying not to think too much about it, because it was only his sister, and she was the most bearable of all of them, and jus the thought of introducing her as his was enough to make him forget all his nerves.

“Don’t tell me what to do…” sunny grumbled, though she was unable to stay stern even for the full sentence, and by the end she was simply purring, looking at him with a grin at the end before reaching forward and kissing his jaw gently, snuggling up to him the moment she pulled away. “But maybe I will. Though next time you have to wake up and come admire me. It’s no fun if you don’t get to see me playing at housewife…” she added iwht a teasing little pout, narrowing her eyes at him for a moment before giggling and just resting her head back against his shoulder.

It took her a few moments to think about what to say before she bit her lip and looked up at him, a soft smile across his face. “If you’re feeling up to it, I was thinking that maybe we go out in the city today?” she asked softly, looking up at him hopefully. She knew it wasn’t a big request, but they’d been staying in a lot lately, and she absolutely refused to go without him. She wanted to experience the city with him, all the lights and the sounds, and she wanted to hold his hand, and she wanted to feel him yanking her close when other guys catcalled her. She wanted it all. “It’s only a quick train ride, I swear…”

--

“I don’t think so, baby…” Will purred back as he looked down at her, a little smirk crossing his face as he did, watching as her beautiful eyes fluttered open. He loved those eyes of hers. “Any time I ever come lay with you in bed results in us having s*x. And I’m totally all for that, as you know, but we have plans for today.” he reminded softly, reaching down for just a moment to kiss her again, though eh pulled away when he felt her starting to grab for him, clicking his tongue and playfully shaking his head. “None of that now, darling…” he murmured, catching her hands and just tangling his fingers with her before looking down once more and worrying at his lip, wondering if she actually forgot.

“We’re going to have lunch with my sister today, remember?” he prompted after a second, looking at her hopefully. He really didn’t want her to have forgotten. HE knew it was selfish, but he wanted her to care. He wanted it to be as big of a deal for her as it was for him, because he wanted her to be a part of the family someday, so it was only time that she started meeting her future in-laws. “Her name is Elizabeth… We’re meeting her and her son in the city center?” he asked, wondering how his little nephew would be able to hold up against the freezing Chicago winter winds that were starting to sweep the city.

“My only plans were to go into the city with you…” Sunny whispered after a second, not even blushing as her voice came out so weak. She was too distracted staring down at him, her deep brown eyes taking him all in, her mouth wide open as her heart practically yelled each beat, her body flooding with love for him. Love for her stupid, boyish, excitable boyfriend who was so enthusiastic about everything that it made her want to be like that, too. After a second of looking at him, she closed her mouth and licked her lips before blushing and resting against his side. “I am so f*cking in love with you…” she admitted softly, knowing that it was super out of context, but she couldn’t help herself.

“We can do all of that, if you want, baby.” she murmured after a second, a soft smile across her face as she slipped under his arm and nuzzled her nose against the side of the neck so she was surrounded by the simple smell of him that she loved so much. “I want to do whatever you want to do. You know that.” she added, not bringing up an of their finances, because to see him smile like that, she knew she’d do anything. Besides, she had more than she’d expected saved up from all her hours at the coffee shop, and Rae had insisted on paying her for her superior stalking skills, and she couldn’t tell him no. It’d be her gift to him, for putting up with her. “I’ve heard that Wicked is a great show..” she added, blushing a bit.

—

“You’re the reason my life is worth living.” Will responded when he heard her question, the words ringing with truth even though he delivered them as if he was simply asking for her to get him water or any other super mundane conversation. “Without you I’d be lost. You’re the love of my life. She’s going to like you.” he reassured, looking down at her for a moment before leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers slowly, holding the kiss for longer than usual to make sure that she knew he was serious, that he loved her more than anything, that he would hold her through the whole meeting if that’s what she needed, only pulling away when he suspected that she’d actually gotten the message.

“And if she doesn’t, then f*ck her. I don’t need her in my life.” he added dismissively, his voice quite clear that he meant what he said. If his sister found something wrong with his girl, then he didn’t need her. He didn’t need anyone but Mari, and he would do anything for her. “You’re what’s important to me, and nothing that she says or does will change my mind about that. Alright?” he finished softly, looking down at her with eyes shining with honestly and earnestness. He meant every single word that he said. The girl I’m going to marry… he thought at the end, briefly allowing himself to get distracted as he wondered about what it would feel like for her to hold his face once she had his ring on her finger.
