Gilbert Blythe (Anne With an E) Imagines

Lavender Haze

Guess who's baaaaaccckkk!!!! Sorry I've been inactive for a while. Life's been super busy lately (from marching band to theater to making time for my friends to the school), but I'm trying to get back into the habit of updating. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate (I personally don't, but I do eat a lot of potatoes).

Requests are still open, and I'm willing to do pretty much anything (though I remain the right to deny your request for any reason) (I'd only deny it if I was uncomfortable or if you were rude or nasty to me).

In honor of Taylor Swift's new album, I've written this song imagine!!

Y/n POV

Staring at the ceiling with you
Oh, you don't ever say too much
And you don't really read into
My melancholia

Gilbert and I lay on his bed holding hands. His ceiling wasn't all that interesting, but I always enjoy the time I spend with him. And he likes to listen to me while I ramble, though he never judges what I say too deeply.

"I feel like my life is over! Mother doesn't want me to go to Queens, but I can't possibly go to finishing school. I may just run away to the country side to cry and be a.....a goat farmer or something." I spit out, almost in tears. How dare she rip me away from the people I've known my whole childhood, even if some of them aren't my friends.

"Hmm. I'm sure she'll come around soon, dear." Gilbert replies, squeezing my hand gently. I nod, curling into his side. 

I feel a lavender haze creeping up on me
So real, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal, the 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze

Breathing in his scent was like fresh spring flowers; lavender maybe. For a moment, I don't have anything to worry about, as I can barely think at all. I don't really care what my mother wants. Isn't more important what I want?

"She wants me to be house wife. Can you imagine that? Me, cooking and cleaning for the rest of my life? I couldn't bare it."

"I don't think anyone else could bare it either. With the way you cook, we'd all be dead in days." I shoved his shoulder as he chuckled, trying to make me feel better. It didn't work.

All they keep asking me (all they keep asking me)
Is if I'm gonna be your bride
The only kind of girl they see (the only kind of girl they see)
Is a one night or a wife

"You know, she keeps asking me when you'll propose. She wants us to be married as soon as we graduate, but I'm not sure if I want that. I love you, Gilbert, but I'm not ready to give up my future. I know you'll be apart of that future, but you can't be all of it."

"I understand that. You wouldn't stand in the way of me being a doctor, so how could I stand in the way of any of your passions? I love you too, and I don'e want to be married until we're both ready." I nodded.

"Billy thinks that you're with me for my body. He thinks that the moment you see me naked you'll run for the hills. Josey agrees, and I can't help but think that this is how everyone sees me. I'm either good for one night or I'm the perfect wife. It's like there's no in between."

"Billy and Josey can stick their opinions where the sun can't find them. You are just you, and I don't think I'd have the strength to leave you." I smiled slightly, pulling myself closer to him (if that was even possible).

I find it dizzying (yeah, oh yeah)
They're bringing up my history (yeah, oh yeah)
But you aren't even listening (yeah, oh yeah)

"Is it irrational to be so angry about it? They keep talking about how Charlie Sloane and I were together two years ago, but that was only one kiss during spin the bottle. And I-"

"I couldn't care less about you and Charlie Sloane. I had a fling with Winnie earlier this year, but that couldn't make me love you any less. Let them say what they want, we won't hear it. You are my only love." I smiled up at him, kissing him on the nose. I love when he gets like this. When I feel insecure, he always knows what to say to reassure me.

I breathe in his amazing scent once more, closing my eyes and taking in the intoxicating aroma. God, I just want to stay in that lavender haze.

Short but sweet!! If you haven't listened to this album, I would totally suggest it, and remember to eat and drink something if you haven't yet! Love y'all!
