Chapter 8: y/n

For the next couple weeks, we all picked tufts and knitted thneeds. With the forest creatures help, we were able to harvest enough tufts. I sat on the windowsill and was knitting a bright yellow thneed. I hummed as I worked.

Once sat behind me working on his blueprints, thinking intently. He poked me in the back with his pencil. I turned to see what he needed. "Yes?" I asked leaning over towards him.

"What do you want our room to be called?" He said it with such a serious face that I couldn't help but laugh. "It's a serious question y/n!" He said defensively.

" I know, I'm sorry." I placed my hand in his shoulder to steady myself. " you know I don't care what it's called." I ruffled his hair, smiling.

He pursed his lips, thinking hard about it. Before I could speak he pulled me into his lap and kissed me. "Naming things can wait." He said and kissed me again.

The kiss deepened, as I felt his tongue explore my mouth. We heard a throat clear behind us and we pulled away. I frowned, upset that we were interrupted. Once looked around me seeing who cleared their throat.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Isabella. Of course. I frowned at her. She shot me a dirty look. "Oncie dear, we have a small problem." I raised my eyebrow at her. There is no way we have a problem..

"What is it? I am a bit busy mom." He said, less enthusiastically then usual. I noticed her frown and look at me, not liking how I was put before her.

"Well we aren't harvesting thneeds fast enough..." she said. I looked past her, seeing almost 50 bags of tufts. I looked at her in disbelief.

"There's at least 50 bags of tufts. That'll give us almost 50,000 thneeds. We don't need anymore tufts at the moment Isabella." I said waving my hand towards the bags outside.

"Well Oncie is running a business now. He needs to think of supplies." She countered. I narrowed my eyes at her. Swinging around Once I grabbed a pencil and paper, quickly jotting down math. (don't hate me about the math part. I can't do math either so but it'll rub into Isabella's face). I pulled away, looking at the math I did.

"Look mathematically we have enough tufts to last us a good 2 years." I handed her the paper. I smiled smugly at her, knowing I was right. She huffed and shoved the paper towards me before walking off.

Once pulled my face down to kiss me again. We sat kissing again. We pulled away after a couple minutes. "You want something to eat?" I asked him. He nodded and let me go into the kitchen, and started to start cooking something.

Uncle ubb hopped up onto the windowsill sniffing the air. I laughed. " you like Italian?" I asked him draining some noodles.

He nodded enthusiastically. "Oh man that smells really good. How'd you learn to cook like that?" He asked before hopping down and coming through the front door.

I laughed again, continuing to cook. "Watching Youtube?" I joked. "I learned to care for myself when I was younger. My parents never actually cooked anything so if I wanted something special I would cook it myself. Hence Italian food." I lifted a bowl of noodles up. "Not to mention Italian is like one of my favorite dishes, and I learned a lot watching Italian cooking shows."

He laughed. "Well you're very talented." He turned to Once. "She's a keeper." He said. Once laughed. "I plan on doing just that uncle ubb." He said reassuringly.

We had finished dinner and everyone had headed into the van to sleep, and I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I came out drying my hair. I watched Once gently packaging thneeds. I leaned against the door frame smiling like an idiot.

He turned around, looking at me. "What?" He asked as I shook my head and walked over to him. He always towered over me, but I didn't mind.

I reached up and brushed non existent dirt off his bunny pajamas. "Just wondering how I got so lucky to be with you." I said, standing on my toes to ruffle his hair. Even then he had to bend over a bit for me to actually reach his head.

He laughed and picked me up, twirling around the room. We landed on the bed laughing and out of breath. I rolled over onto my side, looking at him. He looked back at me. "You wanna come with me and my mom and uncle ubb to drop off packages?" He asked, scooting closer.

"Sure, it might be fun." I said shrugging. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I smiled and nestled closer to him. "Good night Once.." I said softly as I started to doze off into sleep.

He kissed my forehead, before nestling closer. "Good night love.."

I wrote this while in class- oh well teacher doesn't care. I don't know why but uncle ubb is like my second favorite character from this movie. First is definitely Onceler, but I honestly don't think uncle ubb is a really bad guy. He's just agreeing to the mom and aunt so he isn't kicked out of the family. At least that's what I think.
