Trust. Sassiness. and Drama would describe Scarlett and Y/N's start of their relationship. Y/N has a larger family to protect from everything and anyone. Major Y/N is currently off duty, seeking any updates from the investigation, which creates dist...
While Fernando cooled down, I wasn't expecting this type of reaction from Nicole. Since she got here, her smile lit up the room. Knowing that she's going through it all at the same time, I just matched her, very much needed, energy. "What's in the bag?" I teased, eyeing the plastic bag. "Several of your favorite things. Guess them." Nicole smirked as she raised her eyebrow. "Where did you get them? The cafeteria?" I asked, knowing the area and the situation with security. "Yep, I didn't wanna deal with the extra hustle with getting in and out of here. It's my best option, sorry. Now guess, it's five things." Her smile brings me so much joy. I'm so grateful knowing that my sis will be there for Elena, it's not going to be easy. But she's the most wonderful auntie Elena could ask for. Sure, She and I have our fights here and there but it's part of our relationship. More fights eventually makes our relationship stronger. Nicole was the only one who truly stayed on the ride since Elena came into the world. I really do owe her big time, she deserves it.
"Y/N?" Her yelling collects my thoughts. "Thought for a treat?" Her worried face included a faded smirk. "It's going to be exhausting, I just know it. I'm just full of gratitude but can't dismiss my guilt about leaving you with all of the responsibility. Remember you have the marvel family, Lucas, Amy, Ethan, Jackie, Ariel and Dan. Rely on them when it gets overwhelming." I couldn't control my tears as I just sobbed quietly, smiling at her. "Oh you softie. Don't worry too much about us. You just focus on yourself, and how to come back home. We all love you too much, so stress those fuckers out until they safely close the investigation. " Nicole's chin shivered with her smile. "Man, I wish I could hug you right now." I chuckled, building this burning pain in my ribs.
"Here, let me show you what I got you." Nicole shifted around her chair while cleaning her tears, shuffling the bag around her lap. "Did you get me some ice cream? I've been craving some since I woke from surgery." I commented, trying to peek in the black plastic bag. "Geez what a witch. But here I thought I should be careful with Lizzie." She teases while pulling out a watermelon flavor popsicle out of the bag. "This is one of the five things." She added, waving the popsicle around. "God, stop drooling. It's all yours, hold on." My stomach growls as she continues to tease my hunger. "Are you doing this on purpose?" Watching her struggling to open the packaging. The bitch started to paint a big ass smirk on her face. "Oh you're lucky they have me in these restraints." I whispered as I gave her a friendly reminder to fuck off.
Nicole's POV
The unlimited power I have over them, I truly love them, but especially love to teasing them. This is the first time feeding them ice cream and holy shit, what a sticky mess. Just dealing with calculating how fast the popsicle was melting and their timing made an incredibly sticky disaster.
"Here you're almost done." I stretched over the bed railing and over their arm, don't get me started with their pinching. "STOP" I yelled through my clenched smile, earning an evil chuckle. "How does Scarlett put up with your childish ass?" I rapidly sat back down after giving the whole leftover. Just by seeing the fainted smirk brought me this nausea feeling. "Why did I even ask? Thanks for the mental image." Stared at the ceiling as Y/N's laugh was cut off with the sound of someone clearing their throat.
"Stop traumatizing others, Y/N/N. You did walk yourself into that one, Pinkie" Scarlett's voice echoes through after hearing the door close behind her. Y/N clearly came nervous as they positioned the bed at a good angle. The environment in the room shifted into this tension. "Come sit." Attempting to lighten the vibes, I stood up as I gave up my chair to her. The eye contact between them felt as if the air in the room was sucked out. In their own little world, I interrupted by clearing my throat. "Let me quickly show you the rest of the things." I'm getting more and more anxious being in this room. I feel so out of place that I can literally feel the air particles on my skin. As I took my hand out of the bag, I immediately gave up. "You know what, I can just come back later." I let out my nervous chuckle as I peeked at their body behavior. Once I was out of the room, I was greeted by the fresh hospital air, I was suffocating in that room. Now where's Fernando?
Scarlett's POV
There was a very clear tension in the room, understandable. As soon as I sat down, my eyes met with Y/N's eyes. Awkwardly, we waited for Nicole to leave the room. I think this is the first time experiencing this level of tension with Y/N. Poor Nicole, she was caught in between. "I've missed you." I whispered, not realizing that we'd interrupted each other. "If" Y/N's voice shivered. "You go first." I told them, having an idea what they're going to say. I quickly fixed my posture while they took a breather. "I'll fully understand if you-" Y/N's words were predictable at that moment. "Don't give me that. I've made you a promise that I'll never break. Sure, this situation terrified me but it's not enough to scare me away." I get closer to their bedside, reuniting with their touch. Their cold hand alarms me, realizing that I have no knowledge of their current state. Y/N's facial expression slightly changes to a glimpse of their agony. "Don't get tired of my problems." Whimpers from my love made my stomach drop. I instantly hover over the bed railing. "I'm head over heels for you to ever get tired. Your problems will ever tire me out, I promise." Y/N's head melted between my hands, feeling every of their teardrops land onto my hands. "I'm sorry for being this way. You deserve much more than an ill soldier." Those words genuinely felt like someone was tearing apart with an ice dagger. "Look at me, Rodriguez." My disappointed voice burned my throat. "Don't you ever repeat those words to me. I don't wanna hear you talking about yourself like that, you hear me? You were with me during my ugliest divorce, now this is my turn to carry you throughout during your worst. Balance, in our relationship, is what supports us throughout our journey." I maintain their attention as my hands hug their face. Earning a nod while feeling their head curl into me, holding my love as they continued to weep. The warmth in the room clinged into me as I felt their breathing pattern on my shoulder.
