32 - Jealousy

Request from @IM_gayforOlsen

~~~

Y/n woke up that morning and seen the ymbryne was already out of bed and she vaguely heard the shower running from in the bathroom of their room. The woman slowly sat up with a yawn, moving her legs off the bed and sitting for a moment, about to stand when the water then shut off.

A few minutes passed when she seen Alma leave the bathroom, her damp hair already pinned up and her usual outfit on. Her blue eyes drifted over to the bed when she seen y/n was up already and sent her a small smile.

"You can head back to bed if you'd like. It's still rather early." The ravenette says softly but y/n only stood up from the bed with a stretch.

"No, it's alright." She replies, going to get her own outfit from where the older woman was.

"Alright, I'll be downstairs to start breakfast." Alma says, leaving the room. Y/n was a bit surprised she didn't stick around a little longer, especially with it being so early, but she didn't think too deeply about it and went to the bathroom to get dressed. The woman took her time changing, putting on a pair of dark brown slacks with a white button up before slipping on a light brown vest on top. Y/n brushed through her hair and brushed her teeth before finally heading downstairs, hearing her ymbryne in the kitchen.

"Good morning." Y/n says softly, walking up behind her to give her a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"Good morning." Alma replies, her focus on the food.

"You're more quiet than usual." Y/n observes, going to lean in to place a soft kiss on her lips but the ymbryne didn't realize and pulled away to quickly turn the kettle off when it whistled. The younger woman tried not to be hurt at the action, shrugging it off as she watched Alma walk back to the cutting board.

"Would you like me to set the table?" Y/n asks quietly, met with a nod from the woman. She wasn't quite sure if she was upset or not, but she was willing to be more helpful if it would make her feel better.

The woman took some plates and silverware to the dining room, placing them down neatly at each seat. Leaving to get the cups as well, she seen Alma walk past her to her office, leaving y/n confused but she didn't get off task. Once she had the glasses, she gently set one down beside each plate, her gaze drifting briefly to the hall when she seen the ymbryne walk past the room. She knew she was probably busy or something was possibly bothering her, but it still hurts seeing her avoiding her. Even if she wasn't trying to.

"Y/n, would you be a dear and bring the food to the dining room while I get the children?"

Y/n glanced over when she heard her name, Alma leaning by the doorway, tucking her pocket watch back.

"Are you expecting someone?" The younger woman asks, a bit irritated with how distant she was acting.

"I am actually." She replies with a small surprised smile. "She will be here after breakfast."

"Who is it?"

"A fellow ymbryne at the academy who just started training." Alma says, walking off to go wake the children. Y/n felt some jealousy bubble through her, but held it back, letting out a small sigh as she went to the kitchen to get the food.

Shortly after breakfast had ended and the children were occupied with chores, there was a knock at the door. Miss Peregrine still hadn't been around y/n much that day and the younger woman tried to keep herself from growing more upset about it. After all, it was just another ymbryne right? She was just a friend...right?

Y/n stayed in the kitchen, scrubbing at the dishes while Alma went to open the door, the younger woman trying not to eavesdrop but failed when she heard the woman enter.
