Marriage Story • Scarlett Johansson x Y/N

Forgiveness

"I paint?" Y/N asked.

Scarlett smiles, "You're an amazing painter, just have a look." She said and pointed to the paintings hanging around this certain room.

It's a room that Scarlett made just for Y/N because her wife loved to paint whenever she was stressed or overthinking. Y/N would say it's just a hobby of hers, but Scarlett always thought that she's too talented in paintings to call it just a hobby. Scarlett even have a separate Instagram story highlight for all of her wife's paintings.

"And most of the paintings that we have in this house is painted by you." Scarlett said, smiling.

"Wow." Y/N mumbled, looking at the paintings.

Then Y/N noticed an unfinished looking painting. She pointed at it, "It's not finished?" She asked.

"Yeah," Scarlett said and sighed. "You actually haven't painted in months." She said.

"Really? Why?" Y/N asked.

"Life problems." Scarlett answered while avoiding Y/N's eyes.

Y/N nodded her head, and looked at the unfinished painting, "Okay."

***

Scarlett opened the door to Y/N's painting room and the loud music immediately greeted her, it's too late at night and she woke up with the loud music and without Y/N next to her. She looked at her wife and saw her looking stress, she turned off the music and walked towards her wife.

"I can't sleep and I thought painting something will help, but no, even my hands don't want to cooperate with me." Y/N sighed, stressing out.

"What's wrong? Talk to me." Scarlett said.

Y/N took a deep breath, "I just... I want to be a mom. I want your kids, I want to build our family. We've been trying for so long." She said.

"We're gonna be fine, my muse. We'll get there, let's just keep trying, okay? I'm here." Scarlett said.

Y/N just sighed.

Scarlett poked Y/N's shoulder, "Come on, my wife... come to bed with me."

"Don't." Y/N said.

Scarlett smirks and attacked Y/N's neck with kisses and tickling her sides.

Y/N screamed while laughing, "No! Stop it!" She laugh so loud, trying to get Scarlett off of her.

"Nope." Scarlett giggled and tickled her wife.

"Scarlett!" Y/N screamed, laughing.

Then they ended up on the floor, with Scarlett still tickling Y/N's sides.

"Stop it, baby!" Y/N laughed.

Scarlett laughed and stopped, "Okay, okay. I'll stop." She said then she looked at the painting and hummed. "I think it's okay."

"What is?" Y/N asked.

"This," Scarlett said and pointed to the unfinished painting. "This one is coming along nicely, in my opinion. I mean, I know it's not finished yet, but I'm already seeing some... um, things. Like here, it has something resembling a flower. There's something going on there too, and then there's a sun, I think. It's abstract, but I don't know, I think it's already inspiring and um, you know... yeah."

Y/N bit her lip, smiling. "You really love me, huh?"

Scarlett looked at Y/N, "I'm in love with you."

"I know, Scarlett Johansson." Y/N giggled. "Because that's not what I'm working on, my love. This is what I'm working on." She said and pointed to her painting.

Scarlett looked at it and pursed her lips, "It's um, not an abstract."

Y/N giggled and cupped Scarlett's cheeks, pulling her in for a kiss.

"Good times." Scarlett whispered and sipped on her beer. She couldn't sleep, there's a lot in her head right now.

"Hey,"

Scarlett looked behind her and saw Y/N, "Hey. What're you doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep, you?" Y/N asked.

"Can't sleep either." Scarlett said, "Sit down." She smiled.

"Tell me something about our relationship." Y/N said, smiling a little.

Scarlett took a deep breath, "Oh, well..."

— and there goes the green eyed woman, telling everything to her wife. She was done overthinking if she should tell Y/N or not about their failing marriage, Y/N has the rights to know about it. She doesn't want to be an asshole again and hide the truth, if Y/N will love her again, she wants it to be real and not from lies. She even told Y/N about their letters for each other, that one time at the marriage counseling.

"Oh, wow." Y/N sighed deeply.

"Before your accident, we got into a nasty argument and we said some things to each other. I said some things to you and I deeply regret it, every second of my life. And I want to say that I'm really really sorry." Scarlett said. "You said it's too late to say sorry, but I still want to apologize. I promise, I will make it up to you, Y/N. I swear."

Scarlett's heart is hammering against her chest, but when Y/N gave her a small smile, her heart starts to calm down.

"I forgive you." Y/N said, "I'm sure I said things that broke your heart too and I'm sorry for that. I know it wasn't easy... all of this. Let's work things out, yeah?"

Scarlett wanted to cry, but she held it in. She nodded her head, smiling. "Yeah."

Y/N smiles, "Yeah."
