House of Hugs. (I own zip. I just wanted to write some Jara/Peddie stuff.)
Mara was crying. She'd been crying all day and night for three days. After the break up with Mick, she was lonely. Her friends were out for the weekend. She wailed as loudly as her vocal chords would allow, thinking that nobody could hear her. She wished they couldn't.
Downstairs, Jerome was hanging out with Trudy, on chore duty. Victor had caught Jerome pranking Nina. They both jumped at the sound of Mara's wail.
"Jerome, dear, you know that Victor's out. Would you be as kind as to go and see why Mara's crying?" Trudy asked him.
"But what if Victor comes back?" Jerome asked.
"Then I'll just tell him I sent you to talk to Mara. Go on." Trudy smiled.
Jerome ran, excited to be free of chores. He got to Mara, Joy and Patricia's room and knocked.
"Jaffray?" He asked.
"What?" Mara sobbed.
Jerome went in and sat next to her.
"Hey. So, why are you crying?" Jerome asked, with his usual carefree tone.
"Oh, no reason. Just my break up with Mick." Mara sobbed.
Jerome hugged her. "Mara, he's just-"
"A meat-head? You've said it before." Mara told him.
"I know. But I state the obvious. Like how I would never do that to you, Jaffray." Jerome was surprised at himself. He was never usually this nice, to anyone.
Mara didn't reply. Jerome smiled as he remembered something he was taught when he was young.
"The world's little Maravilha." He said to her.
"What?" She asked. She'd been too busy snuggling up to him to hear.
"The world's Maravilha." He repeated.
"What's one of them and where is it?" Mara hadn't learned Portuguese.
"The world's wonder, right in my arms." He replied. Mara smiled for the first time in days. She was happy.
"Heaven's sila in one man." Well, she'd learned Slovak. So had Jerome.
"Daj mi všetku silu, čo mám, alebo viac. Môžete mi tak slabá, ako môžete silný." (You give me all the power I have, or more. You can make me as weak as you can strong.)
"Jerome, bez ohľadu na to, kto nesúhlasí, môžete sa cítim tak dobre o všetkom." (Jerome, no matter who disapproves, you make me feel so good about everything.)
They smiled at each other and kissed.
And guess what?
Trudy was outside the door, crying quietly at the exchange and the kiss. She felt rude, intruding, but it was too cute.
Jerome and Mara broke apart and smiled.
