Hey everyone! This is a continuation of my oneshot (chapter twenty). It's a Bloom x Saladin fanfic, I know a few of you asked me if I could build on this chapter or do some more of this couple so I'm hoping to do a couple of more chapters. I hope you enjoy it, and please don't forget to leave a review. Thank you so much for all your reads, comments and favourites. I'm really grateful.
Bloom grinned as she carted a huge box of makeup and clothes listening as the twins whined about how much stuff she had and wondering how they had ended up helping lug it all from Alfea to her new room.
She walked in coming to stand beside a chuckling Saladin as Codatorta looked at all her female appliances in confusion.
"Is that the last of it?" The headmaster asked his new employee calmly, his eyes still on the older man.
"Yeah, 'Thustra and Eldi just dropped a couple of boxes though so the others are cleaning up their mess. Thought I'd leave them to it." The two men chuckled at the red head, watching as she placed the box down on her vanity.
"You sure do have plenty of clothes and make up Bloomie." Avalon told the red head as he came in carrying three suitcases, Palladium behind him with another two.
"Thank Stella. We have had our up and downs, but she wouldn't let anyone of us leave not looking our best." The others shook their head at the fire fairy's exasperation as she leant against Saladin.
"There is nothing wrong with the way you look." Griselda told the red head as they all began to unpack the many boxes dotted around the room.
"Thank you... But you really shouldn't be looking you know, you already have two mates." Griselda gaped at Bloom as the others chuckled.
"Hmmm... Guess we'll have to try harder in the bedroom if our little mate is looking at any other submissive." Zarathustra grinned as she and her twin wrapped their arms around the blushing deputy.
"Too much info there I think." Du Four giggled leaning against Codatorta.
Saladin helped Bloom off the floor gently drying the tears of laughter off her face as the other members of the family settled down.
"Now, as much as I love our little Bloomie, I suggest you let me handle the room and we head into town for pizza." Griffin smirked as everyone but her wife and oldest friend stared at her in confusion.
The witch turned to face the room summoning up her magic and using it to influence the objects in the room to find their places. Once finished she turned around to see everyone but Faragonda and Saladin staring astonished. The two just sighed and shook their heads.
"The things you do just because you're hungry." Faragonda giggled, kissing her wife's cheek. The witch in question shrugged and smiled serenely.
"You seriously need to teach me how to do that." Bloom spoke, a wide grin adorning her face.
"Tomorrow then, we can bond over some tea and I'll show you how."
"But you refused to teach us when we asked!" The twins complained pouting.
"That's because I'm worried you'll pull a trick on us if I show you." The twins followed Griffin out the door, unable to say anything against that. Saladin and Bloom brought up the rear, as they left to go into downtown Magix. He watched the red head as she smiled slyly to herself.
"Whatever it is, would you consider leaving me out of it?" Saladin asked nervously, he had heard Stella scream a few times because of the red head's pranks.
"Only if you take me out on a date tomorrow night." Bloom looked up from under her eyelashes, grinning at the chuckling headmaster.
"My dear, that is not an offer I can refuse." Placing an arm around the fire fairy, Saladin pulled her close as they followed the other professors out of the door.
They reached the small restaurant and walked in, taking two tables pulled together at the back. Bloom sat in between Saladin and Du Four watching as the manners fairy tutted at the state of the table before having to stand up and re-arrange all the knives, forks, napkins and other utensils. Finished the silver haired woman passed Bloom a menu and sat beside her as they debated what they wished to eat. The shop owners looked slightly surprised as no one else at the table thought anything of it.
"How about we go halves on the ham and cheese and the black olives and anchovies." Bloom suggested as the pair practically drooled over the two. Not that Du Four would ever admit to that.
"You two do have some odd tastes, especially for a lady Du Four." Codatorta told the pair, causing them to stick their tongues out at him.
Once they had ordered food Bloom quickly excused herself to 'use the bathroom', taking a quick detour to the kitchen to cook up a small surprise for the burly man. Scurrying back to the table a little breathless ten minutes later they all stared in surprise wondering why she had come in from opposite the restrooms. Saladin shrugged at the other two heads, the three deciding to see what the younger female had up her sleeve.
Conversations between the schools professors were in full swing as their orders were delivered to them twenty minutes later.
"Desert will be out as soon as you have finished." The elderly Italian man told the surprised professors as they called after his retreating form.
"I wonder what that was about…. We haven't ordered desert yet." Griselda wondered out loud as the others stared at each other in surprise, Bloom acting as though she was just as clueless as the rest.
"Whatever it is I'm sure Bloom will be more than happy to eat it." Bloom blushed at Elditrude's comment. She couldn't deny her sweet tooth. As soon as they finished their plates were whisked away and the lights dimmed. All of a sudden the waiter came out pushing a large cake. The professors were quite confused as he came to stop at their table… In front of Codatrota. Now it was up close they could see the numbers 145 written in swirling cursive. Griffin and the twins cottoned on first, ending up dying on the floor with the others not far behind.
"Don't forget to blow out your candles now g-pa." Codatorta growled at Bloom before looking around the room. He could see no way out as everyone stared at their table.
He blew the candles out and the restaurant burst into applause with Bloom cheering from her spot beside Saladin who was wiping tears from his eyes.
"Bloom!" The burly man hissed at an innocent looking red head.
"You think I was behind this?" Bloom asked softly, pouting causing the older man to falter slightly. There were very few people who could resist the fire fairy's pout. With a resigned sigh Codatorta sat back down beside the twins.
"I'm sure you already love our Bloom living with you don't you." Wiz Giz asked the younger man chuckling.
"Ecstatic."
