You'll find no ownage of CATS with me.
Scandalous
Scandalous…
That's what they're going to say. Jelly, Jenny, they'll gossip like they do, say it's wrong.
A student in love with a teacher can be found, though they hardly admit such desires. It's frowned upon, but it occurs. But what happens when that teacher loves the student back?
Scandalous, that's what it is.
And that's our situation. Sure, Jellicles don't have school, but it's the same thing, really. But I've heard it before and I have a sinking feeling I'll be saying it many times over – love has no barriers. Age, gender, appearance – who gives a shit? It's love, and love can exist between anyone.
Still, it's scandalous.
Bast, what will my friends say? Their noses will crinkle, they'll turn their backs on me, think me disgusting and my situation
Scandalous.
I won't give him up. We can't help what we feel. But still, I'm frightened. Heaviside, he's already mated. He promises me that I'm worth more than she is, but Bast she's so beautiful and lovely and I could never compare. After all, I'm hardly old enough for him and I'm not what one would call beautiful. So, why choose me?
Apparently, we understand each other. Apparently, we're similar and he likes that. But wait – don't differences attract? And oh, it makes my head hurt and I just want to curl up in his arms and cry because we won't last much longer.
The Jellicles have no secrets.
None but us.
It's oh-so scandalous.
And he says, "Darling," and takes me into his arms and just like I thought I would, I'm crying and telling him how scared I am.
Cause we're scandalous.
And he says, "I'll protect you," and I wonder, is that enough? Can love withstand scorn and hate? It'll be put to a test. The Jellicles love scandals.
Scratch that – the world loves scandals. But take a step back and just realize that it isn't fair.
"It isn't fair," I say aloud through a cascade of tears.
"You're stronger than this," he says quietly. "It's why I love you, not her."
I bite back the tears. If that's what he wants, it's what he gets. "Do you really think we'll be okay?" I whisper.
He kisses me. It's enough of an answer for me.
-x-
It's as I thought. They turn their backs on us, mutter and whisper about us.
"I'm scared," I tell him.
"I'll protect you," he says, just as he always does and always will.
I snuggle into the crook of his arm and they glare at us with dull glinting eyes. Such dark, scorn-filled eyes. Take a step back and just realize it isn't fair.
Oh, we're scandalous.
I owe you, ducks-go-quack-00, so here's the oneshot dedicated to you and you alone. :) Just cause I felt like it, it's a similar one to 'Mine'. Meaning, who are these mysterious characters? It shouldn't be too hard…
I'm afraid I can't offer any reward at this point, but meh, it's alright.
By the way, this is based on an experience of one of my friends. This didn't actually happen, but she liked a teacher… tough stuff.
