Hey guys! It's another one-shot from me! And this time, it's not Mix, I promise. Actually, it's Meague! Haha, yay! Of course, I'm breaking tradition, cause this one takes place after...Dun dun dun, Fairest! Woah! o.o Not Reign? This must be a record! Haha, well, please enjoy! Some people may consider it ooc, but I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you guys will enjoy reading it!
Also, this is all from Mina's perspective. ;) Just in case you couldn't tell. Unlike Chin Up Buttercup, I'm going back to my regular first person, cause I definitely prefer it!
Also also, I won't be continuing this. It will definitely remain a one-shot. c: So do enjoy the happiness! It won't be dashed!
It's just getting dark when I creep up onto the roof. It's been my safe haven lately, as here I can get away from the prying eyes of Jared. At least for a little while. He seems to enjoy appearing sooner or later, just to check on me. I'm not a child. I don't need a babysitter. Or a guardian angel. Or a protector. Or...Whatever he considers himself. I can handle myself.
I sit in my chair, watching the night switch on, and the stars start to dot to life. Sometimes, being out here makes me feel like I can do crazy things. Say crazy things. Feel crazy things. Like I can fly. The craziness especially ups at night. I creep over to the edge of the roof. Could I, if I wanted to? Could I jump off, and float? It's crazy, I know. But would Fae magic make it work?
"Do you want to defy gravity, Mina?" His voice is a whisper, but I hear it loud and clear, because he says it right in my ear. I jump in surprise, earning a chuckle from him. "I could help you do it."
How did I miss it? I should've been able to sense him. There's something in the air, something that sets Jared and Teague apart from other Fae, that allows me to know when they're there. Teague is slightly different from Jared though. He has an air of danger, and it's much sharper than in Jared's. Jared's is like a butter knife. Teague's is like a double sided dagger that shoots laser beams and can explode.
"Teague." I whisper his name, still looking up at the sky as he wraps his arms around my waist.
"You know, we had been having so much fun last night. And then you decided that you had to go." We're both still whispering. I'm not completely sure why, but whispering just seems more appropriate than talking. As if we need to talk in hushed tones. Actually, we probably do, if we don't want to get caught by anyone, because I'm sure nobody would approve of this. "Life's very short, Mina. You don't want to miss out."
"Oh, yes, we can't have that." I roll my eyes.
He carefully turns me around, and I'm instantly sucked into his blue eyes. His eyes get me every time. Every night, we have these meetings, and every night, I'm always caught by his beautiful, blue eyes. It will never work, me and him. But, up here on the roof, when anything seems possible, I like to believe that it could happen. That we could work.
"I believe we were right" He moves his face closer till we're maybe a centimeter away, and I can feel his breath on my face, "here."
"Teague..."
"Mina, you have to live your life a little." His eyes are still boring into mine. "Look around. Do you see how much you haven't tried yet? You need to take your feet off the ground a little, Mina. You need to fly. You can't deny what you're feeling."
"How do you know what I'm feeling?"
"Because I can see it written all over your face." My face goes bright red, and my gaze falls on his lips.
Which causes something. It's like looking at his lips triggered something. Because the next thing I know, he's kissing me. And I'm kissing him. And my eyes are closed. And it's just a jumble of emotions rising up in me that I've been trying to conceal. My feelings for Teague are spilling out right then and there, but I shouldn't even have these feelings.
He pulls away for a moment to whisper something. "Don't close your eyes to this, Mina."
My eyes open to look into his, and he kisses me again. And once again, I'm kissing him back. I don't care what Jared thinks. He can go think whatever he wants about his brother. I like him. No, it's more than liking him. I love him. As much as it pains me, mainly because I once told Teague I would never let something like that even cross my mind, I love him.
"Jared's going to kill me." I mutter. Something stirs in my mind. Speak of my so-called protector, there he is. I speak up so Teague can hear, although I don't speak up very much. "He's coming."
"Who cares if he's coming?"
"Uh, I do? Unlike you, he'd kill me."
"Why can't I punch him in the face, tell him to get over your life, and then keep you all for myself?"
"Because that would be selfish, and you would never be that."
"When it comes to you, I'll be as selfish as I want to be." He's dead serious.
I decide to give him a real answer. "Because he's supposed to protect me, and he can currently, legally intervene with the quests, and you can't do that?"
"I won't let you be killed by the quests, Mina."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
He kisses me lightly on the forehead. "I guess I should go then. Can't have someone as charming as me be killed by someone as idiotic as Jared."
I snort at the thought. "Yes, we would never want that."
But as he turns to go, I latch onto his hand. He glances back at me, and raises an eyebrow to question me. "Is there something you need, Mina?" His voice is a little teasing, and I go a little pink, considering I just grabbed his hand.
"When can I see you again?"
"Have you not noticed I've come every night, Mina? I'm not going to stop that pattern now." He winks. "You're stuck with me."
"Good." I relax slightly. "Then I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow."
And so I let go of his hand. I don't want to, but I know it's for the best. I'll be able to see him tomorrow. Tomorrow night, we'll meet each other again on the roof. Every day, I look forward to our meetings, although I used to dread them. It's hard to figure out what exactly changed my mind, and Teague's. How we went from threats and arguments to kissing. But something definitely changed. And I'm so grateful for whatever it was.
Now, to wait for Jared and then get some sleep.
Hehe, I love writing Meague. I might have another one-shot coming soon with Meague, but we will have to see! Sorry, but I love Meague so much and have had quite a few one-shots bouncing in my head!
Anyways, I hope you guys liked this little one-shot. It was another one inspired by a song. This one's muse? When Can I See You Again by Owl City. You should listen to it!
