( Hey guys 🥰🥰 we're reaching the grand final of this book soon. I never expected it to be this long but reading all you're wonderful and sometimes strange comments have kept me going. I started this fic being felt there we're no long stories of theses two. They needed a good plot line and here we are)
Espresso;
As the dust settles on the battel field as I lay in the dirt and rubble. Is this really how I die? I couldn't help but wonder to myself... I don't know what's worse the fact that I've been beaten by the cookies of darkness or that I never got to finish my date with Madeleine.
And To think I had only just started to accept my feelings for that loveable idiot and now it's all too late to do anything about them... perhaps I really should accept my death....
( rewind back to Madeleine's house)
" we have to do something....." Espresso whisperd. To me, we we're outside the kitchen. Trying to figure out a plan....
" YES!!!!" They heard in the background, Madeleine turned his head to see where the noise had come from. He could see rye finally awake! And hugging chilli tightly.
He smiled warmly at them. He was glad they we're both okay.
" looks like chilli finally got the courage to ask rye to marry her" He said softly, gazing at them. Spacing out slightly....
" mad's????" I hear a voice echo behind me... I turn back over my shoulder to see espresso. It hits me that this way be the last time I see him like this... everything had happened so fast.. the date... the attack.. I take a closer look at his clothes. He was still in the same outfit he wore to the barkery...except now they we're coved in dirt. There we're even a few rips from battel.
" are you okay?" Espresso asked concern written on his face, " you're clothes...." I mumble reaching to gently touch his sleeve. Espresso looks puzzled... it only now that he himself notices the message of his outfit....
Now, any other day this would of bothered Espresso. Espresso was neat, tidy and all together a perfectionist.... but not now. Not here...
" it's okay..." He whisper's, " it's nothing that can't be fixed" resureing Madeleine. But there are tears starting to prickle in the knights eye's.
Espresso's eye's soften, he doesn't know how to deal with all his new found emotions yet... all he can do is try. He leans in, close to Madeleine their foreheads touching.
" it will be okay" Espresso bearly even whisper's this.. the words more just slightly tumbling out. Madeleine now grips on to his shirt. Both saying nothing for a brief moment, espresso simply let's him know that he's there..,.
" I...." Madeleine starts but can't seem to finish.
Like this there lips are bearly apart.. should I kiss him? Madeleine can't help but think. Blush starting to spread across his face.. No!!! I can't here... I think correcting myself. I'm not even sure if espresso wants people to know we're together or not yet!!
" what is it? Maddie??" Espresso asks. Tilting my face up to look into my eyes. WHAT'S WITH THE SUDDEN NICKNAME? Forget blushing, Madeleine's face was completely red now... how can he be this god dam smooth!!! 😳😳😳😳
" ahmmmm" I hear, the sudden sound snapping me out of it. I pull away from espresso to see Herb standing next to us. With a slight smug look on his face.
" Herb????" Espresso questions. He seems as equally confused...
" I'm sorry to break this up but we're having a team meeting" Herb points past Madeleine's couch to a group of cookies standing around a small table. It was like a scene out of a war movie where the army comes up with a kick ass stargady, the general of these cookie cadets being Sparking at this current point.
Oh Right... Madeleine thought embarrassed that's what we we're surrposed to be doing...
" will be over in a minute Herb" Espresso said calmly, with that herb gave a nod and went back to the group. Leaving espresso and Madeleine alone once more
" how can you be so calm? " Madeleine asked quite confused. He was surrposed to be the brave Knight and it seemed like he was the only one that was actually worried!
Espresso simply smiled at him. " you mean about us? Or the war we're about to get into?" He asked. Madeleine didn't answer... he didn't know exactly what to say....
Espresso retook his hand. " Madeleine" He spoke softly... " truly I don't know what's going to happen out there... but when it's done..." He paused slightly. Looking down at his feet. " I would like to take you out again.. no monster's, no end of the world. Heck! It's going to be the most boring, slice of life date you've ever been on!" With this he gave a big, bright smile at him.
Madeleine's heart seem to melt all over again.. if this was the end. Then let it end this way... and with that he pulled Espresso in for a kiss.
( Hey guys. I know it's been a looooonnnnng while and I thought I might not finish this for a bit of it! But summer is here and the show must go on!!! And yes... that was an owl house reference you've welcome"
