Sarah Paulson one-shots: You & Her

Every day I love you less and less

I walked down the hall of the outpost. I could hear some sort of screaming coming from a room. I approached the door and slowly opened it.

I found Mina towering over Timothy and Emily who were clearly cowering together.

"Wilhemina stop it!" I yelled. She turned to face me, fear in her eyes. 

"Y/N it isn't what it looks like" she panicked.

 I could clearly see what was going on, it was everything that it looked like. I am so done!

"Every day I love you less and less. It's clear to see that you've become obsessed"

"Y/N what are you talking about" she looked at me clearly confused. I motioned to the scared pair sitting on the floor.

"Ms Venable, you've done this too many times. I'm sick and tired of staying in control. I won't let you do this anymore"

I walked over to Timothy and Emily. "You two get yourselves out of here, I will sort her out" 

"Thanks Y/N" they thanked me and scarpered as quick as they could.

"What do you think you're doing Y/N? They deserved to be punished"

"No Ms Venable, they did not. It may be the end of the world but you do not control me or anybody else in this outpost. Your rules are so dumb!" I yelled. She looked hurt but I couldn't keep sticking up for her actions anymore.

"Why are you being like this? When you came to this outpost, you promised to stick by me... and love me" 

I rolled my eyes, "that was before you started acting like this! I don't see you as the same person anymore. You're turning into something I detest. What happened to the Wilhemina Venable I fell in love with?"

She shook her head, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Y/N I'm sorry. Let me fix this I-"

"No Venable! You can't undo what has already been done. Just forget about it"

"But I still love you Y/N, I always will. Those two deserved it! They were copulating, knowing it is forbidden"

I couldn't understand her logic in all of this. "And you're just going to pretend that they were the only ones? What about us?"

"That's different we-"

I cut her off again, "different how?" 

"We, we are in a relationship and I am the leader of this outpost!" she replied, almost yelling. 

"That doesn't make a difference! They are in a relationship. Don't you think that if they both have 'perfect DNA' that it is a good thing? We can get back to normality"

"No Y/N. It is not a good idea. We haven't the supplies for a newborn in this institution. I can't be dealing with this right now. Please leave"

"Oh, so you're going to throw me out? Just tell me to go to my room so you can 'work'? I'm not a child Mina" her eyes widened.

"You just called me Mina" 

"I did" I nodded, not seeing the problem.

"You only call me Mina when we aren't arguing" she sniffled. I couldn't hate her forever but she needed to understand that what she is doing is wrong.

"Mina look. All I want in this place is peace, and for us two to be happy. I'm tired of sneaking around pretending that there is nothing between us. Besides, the fact that you don't treat me the same as the others sort of gives everything away"

"So what are you saying? You'd rather I treat you the same and punish you?" I had to think on that one considering she has a point.

"No, I guess what I'm saying is... you need to loosen the rules and make us public"

"Are you sure?" I nodded. She smiled softly and motioned for me to come to her. I did as she asked and she hugged me. "You're right, I'll call a meeting right now and make everyone aware. I'm sorry sweetheart"

"It's alright Mina" I smiled, she kissed me on the forehead and we both went to the common room to find everyone already there.

"Listen up everyone" I shouted, bringing everyone's attention to our leader.

Mina cleared her throat before speaking, "I am aware that I have been a little harsh on you all and I wanted to apologise. As of now, all rules will be lifted however, curfew is still in place and I will not allow you to enter each other's rooms past those times, I want no new life to be born here. It isn't the right time"

I nudged her so she wouldn't forget to mention us.

"Also, there is some news I would like to share with you all" everyone stared blankly at her. Partly in shock that all rules had been lifted and that she had something else important to say.

"Y/N and I are... in a relationship" I watched as everyone's jaws dropped. "I knew this was a bad idea" she whispered to me.

"Congratulations! I didn't know Venny was soft. Y/N you're mental but we are so happy for you both" Coco exclaimed. I smiled back and thanked them. 

I looked at Mina and she had a small smile on her face, I gave her hand a light squeeze to reassure her. All she needed was a little push. 

Everyone can change for the right reasons, they just need someone to help them along the way. 

A/N- I know that the song doesn't entirely fit the purpose of this chapter but I wanted to start it off fitting into this song, nobody could stay mad at Mina forever lol :)
