SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

I'd fight for you, hell, I'd die for you

"He's used to being a soldier, but when he has to fight for emotions, hell, he's helpless."

POV Scar:

Now that Farah's officially dead, too, I don't know what to feel anymore. I love mom, but it feels like I've lost a parent with Farah being gone forever. If anyone would have told me what would happen to holy Alfea, I would have probably laughed. I wouldn't have believed a single word. 

"Sky, wait up", I tell him as he's already about to storm after Bloom. That's just who he is. He's trying to help her as much as he can and he's frustrated that he's got no idea how to support her this time. Sky doesn't answer but he turns around to face me. 

"Give her some time", I suggest softly, "I know you want to help her badly but Bloom's stubborn when it's about her letting someone help her. That's how she was trying to keep you away at first." „Yeah, you're right. I just.. What can I do, Scar? How can I help her? She's about to push me away." 

"She may push you away for now but she won't do it forever. She'll give in soon. But right now, you would push her even more behind her shell if you keep on forcing her to talk about it. Just sit down with her, don't say anything. Let her talk." "Is that a girl thing that you know about this?" 

"I think it's a being a strong but complicated fairy thing. Ask Saul how many times he pushed me into the wrong direction hoping it would help. Lucky for him, I'm thankful for how he helps me so I knw what is right and wrong. What I'm trying to say is that it was a lot more easier just being silent next to Riven." 

"Thank you, Scar", Sky nods seeming to have understood what I was trying to tell him, "Are you okay? I know Farah being dead is utterly sad, but I concentrate on Bloom a lot right now so I don't know how sad you are." 

"I know. I'm actually pretty sad about it but I wouldn't even want you to take care of me right now. Bloom needs you a lot more and it's not like I'm a alone. Now go and talk to your girlfriend or just be quiet next to her." Sky smiles at me proudly and hurries back to our suite. 

When I turn around, Stephen appears in front of me surprisingly making me jump back in surprise. "God, you could have announced yourself", I yelp. I might be a good specialist but I still end up being the most jumpy person at Alfea. Not a good combination. 

"What's up?", I ask him cooly when my heart beats in a normal rhythm again. Well, it's Stephen so it beats a rhythm as normal as possible when looking him straight in the eyes. "You wondered why I went to that party-" "No, please. I'm over it", I stop him grimacing not wanting to talk about that day. 

I also learned to not worry about men anymore. If Stephen wanted me, he would have told me. He didn't but that's fine. I'm not here to judge him for his feelings. "Scar, I was about to fight for you", Stephen states, looking at me so deeply that it fells like he could see right through me. 

"I actually have no idea what I planned on saying to you but I just.. I love you, alright? I've loved you since a long time and I wanted to make sure that you're aware of it. You can take all your time to decide what's best for you, I won't judge you. I'm sorry for having been such a hothead who doesn't gives you enough time. I just want the best for you but that's for you to decide, not me. If the best for you is Riven then I'll be happy for you." 

Stephen's not the typical type of man who would fight for a woman. He mainly lives by the his own statement 'what happens, happens' so it takes a lot for a generally unemotional but realistic man like to stand up and convince a woman about his true intentions. 

He's emotional regarding his family but when he doesn't make a lot of steps to be with someone romantically. That's why I haven't heard of a lot of women that he'd dated. He's not a womanizer either. He's dutiful. "I have to admit that I'm speechless", is all that I say at first. 

I expected him to make a plan with me regarding the fairies' situation, not him literally pouring his heart out all of the sudden. That'd suit Riven a lot better. He doesn't name or substantiate his feelings, but he shows them. He's either happy, jealous or angry. Well, is hungry an emotion?

Riven would either snap at me when he's jealous or pour me his heart out as soon as he realizes that anger and distant doesn't work. That's also why Riven is easy. He doesn't care about most things. But when he's truly involved with someone, he bleeds for that person. 

Why do both of them have to be so fully committed to me? It'd be a lot easier if one just waved goodbye but it feels like the more I push them away the more they keep crawling back. Then again it's the worst time to talk about feelings. 

Rosalind was killed, Farah has been killed before, dad is still dead. Yes, his death actually affected me more than just two weeks. And why have mom and Saul started macking on each other in that exact moment? I hoped they would be together but I didn't expect it to be so quickly. 

Are they even together? Maybe I should stop jumping to conclusions. I glance at Stephen and am instantly thrown back into my memories which thanks to my magic I can clearly remember. He's looked at me like this right before he told me we couldn't be together for real. 

It was at Saul's house, Saul went out with Ben and Farah and Sky stayed at a friend's house so Stephen had to 'babysit' me. I was a teenager. Who needs a babysitter as a teenager? Saul's adoptive daughter, of course. 

Stephen and I watched a movie together and I slowly wrapped the blanket about the two of us and rested my head on his shoulders when he looked at me the exact same way before shaking his head. 

I didn't need mind magic to know what he was about to say so I nodded. But now we're here, him having just confessed his feelings to me and me being absolutely confused about life. I do what I do best. I just grab him by his neck and crash my lips onto his.
