Fairy Tale

Chapter 51: Busy

The rest of the holiday was amazing, despite that run in with Ben. It was full of food and laughter, and late nights. She was kept so busy over the two and a half weeks of holidays she didn't have time to stress about school. There were also so many people in the house now that Minho and her didn't have a lot of alone time.

The last night before school after they had said good bye to his grandparents, Aunt Uncle and cousins at the airport, and supper was cleaned up, Jorge had gone to his basement suite and Emily finally lay on her bed enjoying the quiet and reading over her biology notes. There was a knock on her door. She smiled, knowing who it was already.

"It's open, Thunder Cat."

Minho poked his head in. "I have tea for my princess."

"Ahh. My knight in shining armour!" She smiled and picked her head up off the pillow. He made a big show about bowing and placing the tea on the bedside table. He leaned over her and kissed her forehead gently.

"I missed you." He murmured softly.

She hummed and put her notes down and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him down.

"It was a fun holiday. I haven't had a Christmas like that since before sad was sick and even then, I never had cousins or grandparents."

He smiled down at her. He snuggled his face into her neck and exhaled heavily. She ran a hand up and down his back, just enjoying having him close again. She closed her eyes and felt the tension leaving her muscles. They were quiet and still for a long time, Emily ran her fingers up and down his back and through his hair.

"Em?" He asked quietly.

She hummed sleepily in response, her eyes still closed.

"I have...I have a question but...uhh...oh
shuck." he grumbled.

And finally shifted so he was laying beside her and propped his head up on his hand.
She shifted her head so she could see him. She could see his cheeks flushing slightly pink.

"What's your question Thunder Cat?"

"Have you..." He cleared his throat. "Have you thought about...the fundraiser night? And what happened after?"

His normally calm and steady eyes looked nervous. Her cheeks instantly heated up and she started chewing her lip.

"Yes." She whispered.

"You're still okay with what happened? With what we did?"

"Yes Minho. We both agreed. We...we weren't probably prepared for what was gunna happen..." She trailed off.

"Yeah, and I'm sorry. I should have thought ahead. But also...I don't want to just assume something is going to lead to sex, ya know?! I don't want you thinking that's all I'm expecting...or wanting. But what if it happens again, we get carried away? We haven't done anything like that since- well 'cause this how was full of shucken people.. and it's not like hey I'm prepared now so let's get to it. But like..I am...but... umm ya." He sat up and ran a hand through his hair. "Uhh...shuck, Em I'm rambling and don't even know what I'm saying or thinking at this point."

"I called a doctor last week." She said quietly, as she sat up too, and shifted so she was cross legged and facing him.

"What? Why? Are you okay?"

"Ya, Min, I'm fine. I umm.. talked to Sonya and I called her doctor and made an apt for next week to talk about birth control options."

He opened and closed his mouth a few times. "Oh."

"Yeah...it's more than just because of that. It'll help keep everything regulated which helps with training too. So..." She felt her face burning.
