Molly's smart
(duh, she's her father's daughter)
But she sees the little g_a_m_e
Playing out between her boys
Theo & Michael…
*they ought to get a life*
but she can't tell them
t h a t
She…
does love them both
HOWEVER
this is starting to become
i-n-s-u-f-f-e-r-a-b-l-e
%%%%%%%%%%
She knew Theo
first
(well, yes, that does have its advantages)
He is & forever will be
handsomecleverlikeablesweet (even if only to her)
He should've been smarter,
the "shrewd" twit
She could see his advances from a mile
a~w~a~y
&& she kind of liked it…
but not as he liked it
%%%%%%%%%%
Michael was a breath of fresh
REALITY
compared to the former
where Theo contemplated
Mike learned
where Theodore wished
Michael saw cold
hard
f.a.c.t.s
& actually, Molly thought there
might've
been a small chance with him
—YET—
he was too caught up
in not being
bested
by his new best mate
when he should've seen Molly couldn't return Theo's affections
"But really, Michael
I can't return y_o_u_r_s
either"
%%%%%%%%%%
Oh, how quickly the tides
CHANGE
Molly had one hell of a time
with her next case
—Obliviators—
—Unspeakables—
—those who Control Magical Creatures—
&& so she got her first t_a_s_t_e
of handling the
p;r;e;s;s
even if he wasn't anything more than a
temp
(really a slave)
%%%%%%%%%%
He was actually as repulsive as they came
selfish git
insincere troll
perceptible buffoon
…supposed to be by that
Indianwoman's
side
instead of
h*E*c*K*l*I*n*G Molly
Because if there's one thing
Molly can't
s-t-a-n-d,
(more so than Theo&Mike's petty rivalry)
it's someone like Smith
who is so for himself 'n' the truth that he's brutally
h/o/n/e/s/t
%%%%%%%%%%
It's a challenge
(that's how she sees it)
Zacharias is so
selfishconceitedarrogant—
u_n_p_r_e_d_i_c_t_a_b_l_e
it keeps her on her toes &&
makes her heart race &
her face burn
&& it's such a shocking contrast to what
she's known
She chases after him
(much to Miss Parvati Patil's void of delight)
But at least he's a little
hooked, too
Theo&Mike can protect her all they want
In the end, only her
m i n d
needs a safe haven—
& that's with Zach
%%%%%%%%%%
Hmm. I feel the need, at this point, to point out that Molly isn't sleeping around or a slut. She has merely been looking for love…though it stands to be seen if she'll find that with Zacharias. For that answer, continue on to "Just One Mistake."
Thanks for reading, and please review!
-mew-tsubaki :D
2017 note: Oh, yes, things got a bit melodramatic with this series of FVs. XD I liked how Mols didn't want to fall in love with Theo or Michael right away, tho—she rly did enjoy their friendship. However…well, read the rest of the series to find out. ;] This also borrowed a bit, idea-wise, from ch4 of Mew's Every Flavor Fics, jsyk.
