MCSM: Reformed Rescuers #4

Part 22 (Romeo and Delcie)

(Just wondering, should I make a chapter on Jesse and Lukas' wedding? I haven't been to one since I was like 6 and a flowergirl so, I won't really know what I'm doing.. Also, I have a great idea for the after party, you'll just have to find out what it is ;P)

Romeo

Romeo was walking by himself. Normally, when he was all alone just to be stuck with his thoughts, he'd be angry with himself, or bringing himself down for what he did.

But now, he felt pleased with himself. He saved lives, did good, proved to people that he really is reformed. 

"Hey."

He jumped and turned his head to see Stella. He felt his cheeks begin to redden as to their last moment with just the two of them. You know, falling on top of her in the box.. umm.. awkward. Not that he regretted it though.

"Hey Stella." He responded. She stared at the ground before saying, "I wanted to apologize."

Romeo's brows raised. It wasn't like Stella to do something like that. She continued, "I just assumed that you were still a horrible person, but on this trip, I realized that you are actually quite the opposite."

Romeo smiled slightly. She looked up at him, "And I wanted to thank you properly for saving my life earlier. Also, this doesn't mean you still won't help me build onto my home." She joked.

He laughed, "Thanks Stella. That means a lot to know you forgive me."

"I'm just wondering, why did you spend so much time after being turned back to yourself helping my city and not Jesse's?"

"I did help her, but I wanted to help you more. To be completely honest.. I.."

She tilted her head at him urging him to continue, and he looked her in the eyes, "I.. love you."

Stella gaped, "What?" She laughed quietly, "That's actually pretty fun. I started to feel the same way about you too?"

"Really?" Romeo gaped. He felt as if he was in a dream. Stella flipped her hair, "But I can't blame you for falling in love with me. I'm just glad that a guy finally got the courage to tell me that."

Romeo rolled his eyes and laughed. He knew that other guys wouldn't like a girl like her, and that just relieved Romeo. He didn't want competition anyways. "Yup. The one and only Stella." He lifted her up bridal style again and she screeched before laughing, "Yay! Now I don't have to walk!"

"I'll only carry you if you pay me the price of a kiss on the cheek."

Stella rolled her eyes, "Fine." She leaned forwards and kissed him on the lips.

He gaped, he wasn't expecting that move. But he felt himself relax, but he didn't let her fall. She leaned back and giggled, "Oops. I missed."

Delcie

Delcie continued to walk. She shivered. She was still drying from earlier. Her clothes underneath the armor were soaked and it wasn't comfortable at all. 

"I would give you my jacket, but there isn't much point to it considering it's sleeveless." She heard a laugh. Delcie rolled her eyes, "I'm not cold Carson."

"Yes you are." Carson smiled, "Need a hug?"

"No." Delcie muttered. "And you'll regret it if you try."

He tapped his chin and then shrugged, "No. I can't think of any regrets I'd have. No matter what my consequence would be afterwards, it'd be worth it to be close to the one I love."

Delcie blinked, "Roses are red, cacti are prickly, and might I just say, that escalated quickly."

Carson laughed, "Yeah, I did that on purpose. Don't worry, I plan on waiting a few more weeks to attempt to kiss you."

Delcie rolled her eyes, "Why are you going after me? There's plenty of pretty girls out there in the world who are a lot more patient and tolerant than I am."

"That's just it. You're so unique and tough. You aren't afraid to show your personality and protect those you love, and I'm sure that deep down, you feel the same way that I do about you."

Delcie felt her heart flutter. Was he right? She covered it up well, "Nice try, Hans. I'm not Anna. I'm not going to just trust you with everything and fall in love with you right after meeting you." The truth was that no matter how odd Carson was, she couldn't help but start to have feelings for him. She was raised by men. She fought with them. Even beat them multiple times. Her job as a street fighter wasn't exactly legal or anything, but things haven't changed much since then after all. It just prepared her for this. But even so, she'd never felt butterflies in her stomach just hearing their voices or heart pounding when they came near.

"Ooh Disney? Well, Hans isn't me either. I'm more of your prince charming. I came to save you from this horrible situation you were stuck in. Now, you're awake to a new view of me, aren't you?"

Delcie gulped. He was catching on, "Keep trying to swoon me and I'll fall back asleep." She joked. Thank goodness she was great at lying.

Well, most of the time.

"I know the truth Sour."

"Sour?"

"Your new nick name." Carson said proudly, "It's very fitting for you. At first, you're extremely sour, but over time, you're so much better than you make yourself seem. And I'll have you know that I am a great mind reader."

P.S. I love sour candy, nothing against it. It was just a good metaphor I though of. 

He stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Warmth came with the gentle action. He than whispered into her ear, "I hope you'll believe me when I say this: I am in love with you. You're the cure to my past heartbreaks."

He kissed her neck and pulled away from her. Delcie watched him walk towards Radar and Carrigan. For the first time, she felt a blush blazing on her face.

"You are too.. Sweet."

Aww.. Sweet and Sour.. Lol I'm such a spaz. Oh well, cheesy love and metaphors are the best.
