Magnetic Attractions || The Sisters Grimm

Chapter Six: Puck

Never in my life have I seen Grimm look more terrified than when the old lady asked her to bring me around town, not when she and her sister first ran through the forest from my loyal pixies or even when we found out we were married in the future.

"But... but he doesn't even know my friends!" Grimm protests, still shellshocked from her grandmothers request. "And we're meant to be going out. Just us girls!"

Granny Relda smiles softly. "Just say he's a distant cousin visiting, liebling. They're lovely girls. I'm sure they'll understand."

Marshmallow, who sat silently watching tv, snorts causing Sabrina to glare at her from the kitchen. I narrow my eyes. Interesting.

"Cousin?" My eyebrows raise, amused. I turn to Grimm and smirk. "I don't think that would work. Not really into incest you see."

Grimm closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"You are the most idiotic, insufferable, delu-"

Granny Relda swiftly interrupts her. "I know you two are gonna have so much fun! You'll be surprised."

She kisses a scowling Grimm on the cheek before moving to me.

I lean back with a frown. "Not today, old lady."

She just lets out an affectionate smile and ruffles my hair before leaving out of the kitchen.

I turn back to Grimm.

Piercing blue eyes shoot sharp daggers at me. Her nose flared angrily and her cheeks shone a light red.
Okay, she's extremely angry.

She moves forward slowly, each step accurate and precise.

Something in my stomach immediately flutters as she moves closer. Mmm must be something to do with that red noodles and mint icing.

She leans so close, I swear I can see every pale eyelash surrounding her gorgeous blue eyes.

I feel a phantom sting of pain from my bandaged hand.

I mentally shake my head. Nope, nope definitely not gorgeous.

"When we go out today, fairyboy. You will not bother me. You will not bother my friends. You will keep your mouth shut. And when we get back you will not speak of what happened when we were out." Fierce, little blue flames burn a crator into me. "Do I make myself clear?"

I have no excuse for the next words that flowed out unattended from my stupid mouth. "Well does telling you that you're drop dead gorgeous count as bothering you?"

As it left my mouth, I immediately mentally curse myself for what I said.

Sabrina pulls back slightly, blinking confused. Something indecipherable runs through her face, then I see pure anger and.. hurt?
It quickly disappears, hidden behind a wall of amusement.

"Only if you don't bother my friends." She shrugs.

Is she going to stab me or flirt with me. Cause I'm getting some seriously mixed signals.
I stare, bewildered at her twinkling blue eyes that held the keys to answer of my question. At this point I'm not sure I know the difference between stabbing and flirting with Sabrina.

It was 50% terrifying, 50% exciting, and 100% this is going to end terribly.

I absolutely love it.

She moves away and turns around, leaving. "Close your mouth. We're already late. And I don't want to waste time waiting for you to vomit up flies that got stuck in there."

Who did she honestly think she was? No one can outflirt the Puck, the trickster king, prince of fairies and undisputed favourite lover of females.

Okay maybe once or twice disputed. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But it doesn't make me less right.

"Whatever, Grimm. But I'll make sure you'll be the one with your mouth open tonight." I wink at her and disappear only managing to catch the look of pure disbelief and anger on her face.

Marshmallow's shocked roar of laughter follows me upstairs like a cheer of victory.

Let the games begin, Grimm.

It took me approximately 14 seconds to get ready. After all these years, I've decided to accept personal hygiene into life. I mean, being a smelly kid is one thing, but being a smelly teenage boy is another. Being around my unwashed self for a week was like having a personal nauseating sedative. There's no point making people disgusted if in the process I'm just knocking myself out.

So, like the clean fairytale character I am, I splash precisely five drops of water on my face.

Then I do something I don't normally do. I spray on deodorant for.. for no reasons exactly.

Running down the stairs, I meet Grimm, who just takes one look at me and rolls her eyes.

Geez, why did I even try?

Definitely not for her.

"Try to have fun, you guys." Veronica's voice calls from the sitting room through the hallway.

"Whatever, mom."

Grimm glances down at her phone anxiously, texting as we walk out the house.

"Who's that your boyfriend?" I try to say it like I didn't care... because I definitely don't care.

"Why?" She delicately raises an eyebrow, aggravatingly. "Is the dragonfly jealous?"

I resented the way her lack of denial instantly bothered me more than it should have.
Indignation irrationally rises in my chest. "Only a stupid human boy who doesn't even have awesome wings or sneaking abilities would go for a girl as ugly as you."

"What is your problem? You stupid, stupid prince!"
Her eyes burn with absolute fury amd the same hurt I saw earlier.

But I just can't seem to shut my mouth. Curiosity and ire fuel my words.
"He's probably ugly, too. But he can't be as ugly as-"

"Shut up and get in the car."

"What car?" I spin around to see a silver Ford slowly parking behind Jake's car.

"Move!" She pushes me, not too softly towards the car.

"Just can't seem to keep your hands off me."

"Shut up. Or I'll put both your hands in bandages."

"You're crazy, Grimm."

She freezes, a flare of panic flickers briefly in her eyes. It's swiftly replaced with a serious expression. For once, she doesn't look angry. Instead, she looks exasperated, defeated.

Suddenly, I desperately wish for her to be angry again, to be passionate, even if it was all directed towards me. Just not this, anything but this.

Instead, she doesn't even look at me as she says the next few words, her voice haunted.

"Don't you ever say that to me again, Puck."

This is completely unedited and short. And written by a half asleep me who is also publishing this with her eyes closed. I didn't really have time to improve the dialogue but I'll actually try next time. But whatever here it is.
Tell me what you think or what you would like to see happen. Cause I'm really lacking direction with this fanfic.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed this!
