Within A Stardust

Chapter 58 - Afternoon

Aug 25 - 7:00 am (6 days later)

*
Supposedly, this is the week that y/n will go back home. However, because of what happened, her grandma have decided to extend and do what they have planned by September.

Although she was really nervous, her first therapy was successful and Lizzie is so proud of her. She has become more affectionate towards y/n afterwards.

Concerning the reward, Lizzie made her list down a few things she would like to experience or have and then sort that into a draw lots. She had to because that therapy will go on until before she returns home. Her first pick was "Ice Cream" and so they went to an ice cream shop yesterday with her grandma and Marj.

And their proof is a picture of them shot from a Polaroid given by her grandma, all of them holding their ice cream cups, y/n with the cute spoon in her mouth, doing a peace sign together with Marj at the back.

Nile is now back to work and he's in the police station to handle the things he missed.

The two doctors meticulously created the first phase of the serum and recently, Stan added y/n's request.

While y/n is cutting thick pieces of cheese in the kitchen, Lizzie comes in, just woke up. Her hair almost siding all on the left, eyes puffy.

She hugs y/n from behind, holding her in the waist and put her head on her shoulder, as if she could take a nap there. "You know, if you want to take a nap, you should do it on the bed." Y/n said then walk towards the isle to get few slices of bread in the mini food pantry, bringing the drowsy Lizzie with her.

"Hmm." Lizzie lifts her head and put her chin on her shoulder. "What's that?" Her voice is soft, gentle to the ear.

"Sandwich with melted cheese. Do you want one? Unless you are lactose intolerant then no." Y/n transfers the two plates near the stove. "A small portion will do." Lizzie separates. "By the way, before you cook, are my eyes a bit red?"

"What do you mean red? Are you vampire now or somethin?" Y/n asks. Lizzie smiles. "Yeah, nice joke. Can you please just check it?" Lizzie pleads. "Is it really because of that or you just want to make a way to steal a kiss? You almost got one last night, you think i'm dumb? Uh-uh, Nice try." She said while putting the thick pieces of cheese in pan.

Y/n glances, then did it again because Lizzie is telling the truth. "Ok... I thought you're joking. What happened?" Y/n cups her face and look closely at her eyes. "I can't sleep last night and then when I woke up... It was so itchy, I scratch as I was getting up and-" She wasn't able to continue what she was saying when she raise her hand to scratch which y/n stops immediately by grabbing her hand. "Don't scratch it. It could worsen-" Lizzie gives her a peck on the lips while she's so absorbed into the situation.

"Fuck you! Dumbass! Go fix that on your own." Y/n said then disappears. Lizzie stands there biting her lip, trying not to smile too widely. "Remember the rule. You only have twenty minutes to hide. You can't get away from me, you cinnamon roll." She leaves the kitchen and head back to their room to make their bed and prepare for the day, carrying that damn smile.

Y/n, on the other hand, was just standing near the fridge the whole time, controlling her powers. If one of it slips, Lizzie will know she's blushing and she love that so bad, she will crave for more.

It's just a mock to the disrespect y/n did back then. But to be clear, Lizzie had forgiven her the moment she realized she did the mistake. So, it's purely out of fun and making y/n blush.

12 pm

Lunch time. Everyone gathers in the dining like a one big happy family. Stan being the father, sitting on the right end, his wife and son, near him. Saf, Marj and Jonathan taking the role of the older siblings and then there's Y/n and Lizzie as the youngest, obviously a lovebirds but pretending they aren't. Beside them is the grandma, sitting on the other end.

"Everyone be prepared tomorrow, especially you, y/n because... The serum is almost done. Thanks to Davidson and Saf's help." Stan said.

"Are we going to test it after?" Y/n asks as she takes the large slice of pizza. "If these two aren't busy, then.. We might." Stan replied and take a bite in his burrito.

Out of nowhere, Gecko comes in smelling Ms. L/n's foot. "Hello, so who's your lucky owner?" She said and give him the small meatball.

"Grandma, that's Gecko. My dog. A family gave them to me after the incident as a big thank you." Y/n picks him up and put him on her lap. "You have never seen him before because he's always in the garage. I wonder what did you do to get out? You're becoming smarter than I thought." She boops him and gave the small piece of bacon.

. . . . . . . . . . .

While waiting for Gecko to find a place to poo, Y/n plays around with her powers but not to the point that it can alarm Gecko.

Until she sees Lizzie talking to Saf, about to leave the kitchen to check on her.

Time to break some rules.

She uses her camouflage as she leans on the tree.

Realizing Gecko is here but she isn't, Lizzie just knows she's here. "You better come out now. I know you are here."

Y/n gaze at her, analyzing every move she makes. From how she smiles at Gecko when he approached her to how she search for y/n around by grabbing the wind.

She's cute as always but it looks stupid that in order to find me, you grab the wind. As if that wind can tell you where I am.

Promise me you will not be invasive and I will appear.

It took awhile for Lizzie to answer. "Ok... Fine. I promise." She pouts, defeated. Y/n fades in infront of her. "Good." She pats her in the head and give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Are you busy this afternoon? I want some cuddles while watching tv." Y/n pretends to think about it. "Please? By twenty-nine I'm back to work and I'm going to miss you." Lizzie pleads holding her by the waist. "Oki. Let's go."

. . . . . . . . .

Unlike before, Lizzie is now the one leaning on y/n. It was such a comforting afternoon, the sound of the cars passing by along with the rustling of leaves from the trees and plants being swayed by the wind is enough for you to realize it is a great time to take a break.

"I love afternoons like this. It's kinda nostalgic and beautiful. Back in my elementary days, every time I have a chance, I would watch cartoons instead of napping." Without realizing, y/n starts to play with her hair, stroking it.

"Do you... nap?"

"Not really, only when I'm exhausted. I tend to do that when it comes to shooting movies... It is tiring but it is worth it and I love acting so.. yeah." She gets the remote and as she browse. "I like this, I agree with you, but I love mornings.. the feeling of getting up and setting everything for the day? That's what I love- and I get to check my plants too." Lizzie glances and peck her on the jaw.

"You said, you will be back to your job on twenty nine... Will you still be able to go?"

"Go to what?" She lets go and starts to fidget with her hand. "To.. to my sessions." Y/n said softly. Lizzie chuckles.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I? We will make sure that it is always during my off days so that you.wouldn't.be.worried." Lizzie said as she lightly poke her cheek. "And then after that or the following day, we will fulfill your request."

Y/n snuggles to Lizzie and just try to focus on the tv. Lizzie in turn, from time to time, would run her fingers on her leg, without realizing. But for the most part, she massages her hands, trying to help ease her distress about the therapy.
