The Haunted ships and one-shots!

Mia x Lalea 2

Short and cheesy. Trying to finish a Armen x Herobrine and Mia x Herobrine at the moment.
___________________________
Mia's point of view-

She made me feel happy for the first time in so long, redeemed me from a life of slavery to a murderous tyrant. How could I not be grateful? How could I not feel utter devotion towards her? It took a few years, but when we had finally reunited, I could not keep myself from wrapping her in my arms and bursting into tears. When I had pulled away, her blue eyes were sparkling with tears as well.
After traveling through the portal at the Magic library, I found myself in a tundra like terrain, the boys nowhere in sight. I remember the devastation I had felt, the painful loneliness that I dragged behind me in my travels of this new land. It was in the Redstone Republic boundary, leaving me constantly on edge and on the run once more from imperial officials. I started a new archeology team and continued my old career as an archaeologist despite my new title as a fugitive.
Years went by, and I never felt the same. I missed the boys. I was tired of running, tired of feeling alone despite everyone that I had to support me. Then...the empire found us. Only I survived.
I escaped a further north, staring in forested areas that reminded me of home, always clouding the sky in white. When I found her again out of the blue, plotting to raise a rebellion against emperor Ferox, it was like my heart was going to burst. After all of these years, her spirit was just as strong, confidence that never wavered. She was just as beautiful as the day we had met.
She asked so many questions as we recovered from our tears. She told me that helping me, she was exiled for treason against the empire but she still roamed around gathering those who wished for a better way of life within the imperial walls. Seemed like the perfect place for Grayson and Drake as well. I told her of the two boys and our wild adventures in fighting mercenaries and finding the magic library and fighting off a demon. She was so mystified, often calling me bluff but eventually I was able to convince her that it was all true.
She took me back to her house, one that remained me much of my childhood, a fancy home in the trees. When she brought me inside, it was filled with magical items and decorations that I only imagined nobles and royalty would have. It was absolutely gorgeous.

As I looked around, I could barely get myself to speak. "Lalea, this...it's beautiful!"

She giggled, taking my thick jacket from my shoulders, handing it up by the door. "Thank you. Before I was exiled, I took a lot of money with me and a few of my belongings, however, most of this I found in my travels."

"Wow...I find a lot of things in my travels. Why is my place not this good?!" She laughed before leading me to the couch, offering to get me a drink which I happily accepted.

Had she noticed how nervous I was feeling? Had she ever caught on to how I truly felt for her? My eyes scanned the elegant decor but my thoughts could not be further away, thinking of the beautiful eyes and uplifting laugh. That bright smile, her intelligent remarks...

"Here!" I jumped went a glass of water suddenly moved in front of me. I thanked her as I took it, grateful to feel the cold liquid run down my throat and moisten my tongue that was previously dry.

She sat next to me on the soft couch, a warm smile and a cute blush on her cheeks. I was so happy to see that again after so long. My heart was racing inside of my chest, feelings that I had locked away for years rising inside of me. I never thought that I would feel love like this again. Drake and Grayson were more like brothers, sons at times. I did wonder why I never felt romantic attraction towards them, considering that I am pansexual. Perhaps it is because she was already in my heart.

"So...Mia..." I could tell that she was trying not to say the name she knew me by. I had told her not to call me my real name "Mayadrial" because it remained me too much of my abuse with the emperor.

"I'm glad to see you again. Honestly, I've missed you so much!"

The burning in my cheeks grew worse when she took my cup and set it aside, then took my hands into her own. Her cheeks became pink, staring at my hands as her fingers rubbed them. I could feel my back shiver, hoping that she could not feel the vibration.

"Remember when the emperor wasn't around, when we used to dance together and do each other's hair?" She laughed.

I giggled as well. "When you helped my English."

She laughed even louder, my heart in pain from how fast it was beating. "You've gotten so well with, Mia. I'm so proud of you. And saving the world...that's...I can't even find words for it."

I froze as her hand lifted, pushing a long strand of my hair behind my ear. My body was burning up within and outside. My heart was pounding in my throat, sweating from how nervous I had become. Anxious...impatient. She asked what was wrong, but before she could finished, I pushed myself against her, forcing her into a kiss. I closed my eyes, feeling her rough lips as she pulled back slightly but not out of my range. I closed my eyes, taking in this moment that I had only ever dreamed of.
As I sucked her lips, they softened against my own. Tears formed beneath my eyelids as I listened to her soft moan, one hand stroking my ear while the other cupped my cheek. I couldn't believe it...she was kissing back! And...she liked it! I pulled away with laughter, my arms wrapping around her waist to pull her against me. I couldn't say anything before she pulled me back in, kissing my lips until we had to breathe.
I pulled back once more, staring into her beautiful blue eyes. She wiped away my tears, whispering how she had been waiting for me to do that. I laughed and pulled her closer.
As we went back in for another kiss, my tongue unconsciously licked her bottom lip, and before I knew it, my tongue was in her mouth. I felt so weird, feeling her own tongue wrestling against my own, the saliva exchange. I had never kissed like this before, in fact I had never had a true kiss until these moments. The closest I have gotten to this was not even a kiss, instead it was the emperor's face just being way too close to my own for comfort.
Suddenly, I could see his eyes and that cynical smile, feel his breath against my own face and his fingertips pinched my chin, forcing me to look him dead in the eyes. That voice...that sick laugh. I had to pull away from Lalea and cover my mouth.
Her voice was distance, a mere echo as she called out. Those memories... I curled up, closing my legs and leaning down. I could hear his voice, calling me beautiful, his demands for me to sit and keep quiet. His threats of a painful punishment

"Mia!"

I was snapped out of it, looking back to Lalea with tears blurring my vision. When she asked what was wrong, I could barely speak. All I could do was wrap my arms over my chest and mumble what she could barely understand. I must have said something loud and legible enough, because she cupped my cheeks in her hands, forcing me to look her in the eyes. Her eyes glittered with tears like diamonds, lapis blue eyes like a sea of emotions.

"Mia, he will never hurt you again. I will never hurt you like he did. I promise."

I trusted her. Of course I trusted her. After all, she has never let me down, the reason I am here today. My smile once again appeared, sniffing as she wiped away my tears. After so many years, I finally told her how I felt. I never imagined that three little words could cause my whole world to both stop and restart at the same time. As her sweet voice slipped out from behind those pink, lush lips, I felt more alive then I had been in a long time. My heart felt so much lighter.

"I love you."
