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.
