Espresso, chill pepper, rye, and more!
Chill pepper is knelt by the living room couch we're rye is sleeping, since they got back to Madeleine's she hadn't left her side. Espresso's healing spell has kept her stable for now but she was still worried, she wasn't a healer but she coukd tell rye's wounds we're bad, cream puff offered as much help as she could. Both her and apple cinnamon we're still training to use their magic but they coukd help atleast a little to ease rye's pain while they waited for espressos return.
Though she wasn't the only one that was worried... Meanwhile in the kitchen Madeleine was trying to keep is mind occupied by making his guests some tea. After all it was the least he could do for them, beside the more he stood still, the more anxious he grew... I shouldn't of left espresso alone. He thought mixing one of the teas, it's far too dangerous! Out there! Anything could happen! He had now moved on to the second cup what if he didn't make it to sparklings? What if he got captured? Or got caught in another fight! What if! What if?!?!
" Mr, Madeleine?" A small voice spoke up at him.
Madeleine had been so deep in his anxiety that he hadn't realised someone has their, in fact now that he was out of his own head he noticed that he actually began to sweat from all the panic,
" are you alright Mr, Madeleine?" Madeleine looked down to see cream puff and ac peering up at him.
" oh, hey kids!" Madeleine greeted warmly, bending down to their level. " I'm doing just fine!" He said trying to smile the best he could, he didn't want to worry them. But both cream puff and apple cinnamon we're pretty smart for their age and coukdbtell something was certainly wrong,
" are you sure you're okay?" Cream puff asking talking a step towards him. Guess Madeleine couldn't fool her... looking down he gave a small sigh
" I guess.. I am a little worried" He admitted to them, Madeleine was use too being the strong one. Someone everyone looked up to, but even he felt vulnerable at times. He always felt like he had to protect the kingdom but right now... all he could do was wait.
Cream puff gave a small understanding smile, " it will be alright " she resured him, put a hand on his shoulder, cream puff was always mature for her age. Her magic was also a lot stronger then a normal student, she loved learning. She hoped one day to be as great as her favourite teacher latte. " Yeah!" Ac chipped in cheerfully " we're safe as long as we're together" apple cinnamon relayed
Madeleine smiled back, suddenly it didn't feel as if cream puff and ac didn't need him, but he needed them. " thank you" He softy spoke, it was funny but cream puffs small reassurance had actually made him feel better.
Suddenly remembering about the tea that he had prepared, Madeleine gave another smile to the two. " how about we all have a nice cup of tea" He suggested getting back up and passing them each a cup.
Taking a sip from his cup ac seemed quite happy " yummy!" He commented smiling wide, cream ouff also took a drink. " what do you think?" Ac asked curious on her opinion. " This is really good!" " she affirmed. " thanks Mr. Madeleine" she said turning back towards him.
Madeline was glad to see the kids we're happy. Even if he couldn't help espresso at the moment, making sure everyone was safe in the house was just as important. With a small chuckle he grabbed his own cup from the counter " you can just call me Madeleine" He answered, hearing me seemed to formal for him. And well... just a little bit old. " after all Mr. Madeleine" was my father" He said witha wink to them. This made ac giggle slightly. Putting down his drink, he saw the last cup on the counter. This reminded him that he still needed to give chill pepper her tea!
Picking it up, he gave cream puff and ac another quick thank you before heading back out the kitchen and into the living room where she was. Rye was still fast asleep, Madeleine had wonder if it was espresso's spell that was keeping rye alseep for now, either way it was probably for the best that she rest's until he returns" got you some tea, extra spicy " He softly called to her approaching the couch. " thanks..." chill pepper mumbled. She didn't look at Madeleine as he put the cup down on the coffee table next to them, she hadn't taken her eye's off rye for a second since the rubble and she wasn't going to start now.
Madeleine frowned a little, but he could understand.. it wasn't until recently that he had started dating espresso. If you coukd even call it dating, today was surrpose to be their first ever date and well... the kingdom got attacked. Still, he knew what it was like to care for someone. So he simply passed her tea instead, she took the cup. Still not Turning from rye,
" Madeleine...." she whisperd, he pricked up his ears " hmmm" He hummed to let her know he was listening. " hold on to what you got...." she continued.
Madeleine was a bit confused by this statement but chilli pepper added " what you have with espresso... hold on to it" she clarified. She knew Madeleine wasn't the smartest, so it was best to speak plainly with him. Putting a hand on rye's sleeping g face she gave a small smile.
" I almost lost her today..." she said, very voice weak from sadness. Madeleine didn't want to interrupt, so he simply listened. " i was so afaird..." her voice shock, as she watched rye sleep peacefully.
" chilli..." Madeleine whisperd, his voice was full of his own sadness and sympathy for her. Hearing her name chilli finally turned to look directly at Madeleine. Her eyes we're still red from crying " when she wakes up, the first thing I'm going to do is ask her to marry me" she paused looking back to rye. " I already knew I wanted to marry her, though it wasn't until today that I knew I couldn't live without her" chilli gives rye hand a squeeze. She doesn't stear from sleep, but seeing her safe makes chill smile.
Madeleine know understood... biting his bottom lip. He was so worried about espresso.... what would he have done if espresso hadn't told him how he felt? Life was short, and fragile. He had pushed his feelings down for so long! And now espresso could get hurt or worse!
What if he didn't come back?....
" SOMEONE'S COMING! " cream puff yelled from the hallway, now with their tea's her and ac had gone to keep an eye on the street. Spying through the windows in the hall,
Is it him? Madeleine thought, jumping to his feet. He quickly went into the hallway and looked out the window with ac.
He could see a figure. Actually multiple figures! " is it them?!" Apple cinnamon questioned.
Madeleine continued to watch... waiting. A flash of coffee coloured clothes. A green haired man next to him? IT WAS THEM! they had made it back!
Madeleine broke out into a big smile! His heart leap with joy! " they've made it! It's them!" He beamed. Sure enough, stepping into the lights of the street lamps was espresso and the crew!
Madeleine couldn't believe his eye's! Espresso had found herb and some many other cookie's too! Opening the front door, cream puff and ac stood beside him. " Espresso!" He called out with a wave.
Espresso;
Espresso coukd now see Madeleine's house, and Madeleine! By hus side was herb. Soda and sorbet behide him. With Sparking in the rear with adventure, Gumball and Ninja.
" Espresso!!" He heard Madeleine calling out towards him.
Yep... that's my idiot he thought a smile spearing across his face.
