Hey everyone. If you're checking this out, thank ya! It means a lot to me. This is my first fic with these two and I simply could not hold out anymore, not after Island Adventure! So adorable! *squeal*
Ha, anyway~ This is my idea of what could have happened when Sadie was p. 2 at Lars's house. A little fluffy-fic! Hope you enjoy!
Lars sat impatiently on the floor of his room, one of his knees bouncing annoyingly in his criss-crossed position. He closed his eyes and began to mumbled under his breath, until he could no longer contain his agitation and yelled out, "Darn it, where is she?" Although, he quickly regretted it when he heard the angry, disapproving shout from his father in the other room.
Scowling, he turned towards the TV in his room and glared at the digits in the top-right corner of the screen. 1:30AM.
"I should have guessed as much, her taking this much time." He crossed his arms and, unknowingly, he stood up and started pacing, every so often glancing out of his window.
When he had told her about his banishment from the crappy store who kicked him out, the only store selling the new release of Army of War, he hadn't expected her to say she'd go in his stead. Actually, he wasn't expecting it at all; she was just his co-worker after all. But she seemed pleased to do it for him, so he said yes! He wasn't going to let the chance of getting the game slip through his fingers! Even so, he did feel somewhat bad for making her wait so long in line, but she offered, so he knew it'd be fine.
Lars once again glanced at the clock and paused for a moment. She couldn't be much longer, right? Nah.
He scratched his head and bit his lip nervously, until he suddenly shook his head violently. He had an idea to get rid of the sick feeling of guilt in his stomach! Opening the door to his room, he snuck into the kitchen, and dodging the land mines consisting of a dog bowl and trashcan concealed within the darkness, he made it to his pantry. And of course, something just had to fall onto him when he opened the door, causing him to yelp in fear. Cursing the stupid cereal box of trix, he reached for the one thing he knew would be his triumph card: Oyster crackers.
Although he didn't mind the snack, he didn't quite enjoy them either. Which was why they were always some in his pantry because the fish crackers were always on sale, and his mom just had to have them.
But he was thankful for that fact right now.
Crunching on the trix that spilled out of the bag and nearly missing the trashcan, Lars finally made it back to his safe house: his room.
Putting the box on the floor, he sat beside it calmly. Now he that had his forgiveness crackers, he was good right? Noticing his snake boxers on the floor, a quick reddening of the cheeks, told him otherwise. Perhaps he didn't feel that way towards Sadie, but he didn't want anyone seeing that.
After spending ten minutes cleaning up his room, he sighed contently. This was good. But now it was almost two in the morning and she still hadn't come back. But he knew she was tough, she withstood a customer who attempted to steal donuts after all. Though, after five more minutes passed, he stood up and began putting on his shoes and jacket.
He was just going to check, cause what if she bailed on him and he was waiting on nothing, right? He at least needed to know that.
But right as he was about to open his bedroom door to leave, he heard light tapping on his window. Turning around, he saw Sadie peaking into the window, her hot breath slightly fogging the glass.
Running to the window, he unlocked it and pulled it open, giving full access for the cold outside air to flood into his room.
Sadie was smiling as she greeted, "Hey, Lars! Look what I got.." She waved the bag gently in her hand, her smile turning into a mischievous grin. "I waited in line for awhile, but because I got there early, I didn't have to wait as long as other people did, only seven hours. Great, huh?"
Suddenly, as Sadie was just about to speak again, the bag was snatched from her hand in a rush. Shocked by this, she looked up at Lars as he suddenly started ranting about just how amazing it looked!
"Just look at the holographic case, and there is a discount for the online multiplayer too! Oh, and this detailing on the disc is so rad! Look at this!..." Sadie just smiled lightly at his childish behavior, having not seen it many times before.
Lars, in the whirl of the moment, quickly turned to his xbox and slipped the game into the system. His eyes shining in shapes of diamonds as the loading screen began to display.
Sadie's smile softly faded as she watched him play begin to play, and growing tired of standing on her tip-toes to reach the height of the first story window, went down to her normal height. Knowing that there was no getting to him now, she waved through the open window and said, "I'll see you at the Big Donut, kay?" And quickly turned around to begin her journey home.
And at first, she didn't hear a reply and continued walking away, that was until there was a large shout and the sound of something falling over. Sadie turned back around, a puzzled look on her face, until Lars poked his head out of the window and growled, "What are you doing, you have to play with me, Sadie! We have free passes to multiplayer online!"
To say that she wasn't expecting that, would be the truth.
Sadie stood there for a moment, until snapping back to her senses and smiling sideways at him, "Are you seriously asking me to break into your house and play a video game with you at two in the morning?"
"Well, duh!"
Sadie just stared at him dumbfounded, until she finally laughed loudly, a smile gracing her lips. "Alright, whatever you say, but if we get in trouble, I'm blaming you!"
"Too late, you're the one who knocked on my window first. You get the blame." Lars said, smirking at Sadie and crossing his arms as she walked closer to the window, the cold wind blowing through her jacket.
She came up right beside him and stared up at him, "But you opened, didn't you? You didn't have to."
"Yeah, I did! You waited all night for that game, I can't let you leave without saying thanks!" Quickly catching himself, he muttered, "It's you're fault for making me feel guilty for taking so long, after all." But seeing the embarrassment red on his face, Sadie knew that he really was thankful towards her.
She laughed out and rubbed the back of her neck, "I get to be player two, though. And you'll have to teach me some of the controls, I don't play video games much."
He nodded and extended his hand out the window, reaching for the girl who barely reached the window frame in height. She grabbed his as he replied, "Got it, I can teach you some, but you better catch on fast, because I won't be on a team with a loser!"
"You better beware, Lars. I catch on fast, you just might end up being the loser here."
He laughed bitterly as he lifted her up into his room, Sadie quickly holding onto him for support. And although Lars was strong enough to lift her through his window, he wasn't prepared for the pretend banana peel on his floor, better known as his comforter, causing him to lose his footing, right as Sadie made it through the window.
She landed on him with a slight yelp, sadly though the landing wasn't all that safe for Lars as his gut was met with Sadie's elbow.
Lars groaned in pain as he clenched his stomach. Sadie hurried got off of her wounded friend and quickly apologized to him.
Seeing him make no attempt to acknowledge her, she got on her knees and touched his stomach, a frown coating her face, his hands trying but failing to soothe the pain away. "Sorry, Lars, you were being nice and yet I hurt you." But still seeing him writhing in pain, she let go and diverted her gaze.
"Sadie.. you're an idiot, I slipped. This is what I get." He managed out, his delayed breaths returning to normal. "This is what I get for making you wait out in the cold for me as long as you did."
Sadie's eyes widened and she stared at his brown eyes in wonder. Was he apologizing..?
"But I will never suck at Army of War, got that? I will always be better than you." He said, quickly sitting up and glaring at her.
She sat, kind of winded by his eyes and heartfelt words, until she suddenly laughed lightly. "Is that a challenge? Let's play and see who really is the best here!"
"Good luck, I've been playing this game for years now!"
Sadie smiled down at the controller that was handed to her, as Lars continued on about how he was clearly better because he had beaten the first game when he was only seven, but one thought crossed her mind as she was suddenly handed something. Oyster crackers.
Lars was a really good guy.
So, I could continue this (which I would love to do) but I'm not sure if I should? Review and tell if what you think what I should do! And if ya liked it? ;) Thank you my lovely viewers!
