Starts nearly a year later from where the first memory started for many reasons including 1. I'm really lazy, 2. I wanted to practice domestic/fluffy moments. 3. I imagine that they were around their twenties when they first dated, they get married nearly 3 years later. (they've dated a total of 4 nearly 5 years before they have Stiles.) These aren't written in any sort of chronological order okay? Most of these are set pre-Stiles. Last note these are written in short story form and each is based on prompts from imagineyourotp tumblr.
Every time they pass the dog park it happens, at least two or three dogs will stop playing with their balls or their masters and start walking behind her. Eventually she looks like the pied piper with line of dogs trailing after her till their owners catch up.
She just laughs and starts cooing at the dogs, one time a giant St. Bernard jumps on her, knocking her over and she laughs. She pets him and easily finds his favorite spot, while his owner apologizes.
When she wistfully mentions getting a dog, John instantly denies her. They live in his tiny apartment, after he found out she'd been staying at her friends' homes going from one to another. He'd offered her his own albeit small apartment, she grinned at him and instantly said yes.
It's not till they both get jobs and with the help of both their parents...well mostly with the help of her parents (She came back with a check with about quater of a million dollars, she just avoids answering exactly how rich they were) they're able to buy a two story house nearing the outskirts of the suburbs.
Part way through the year she switches majors to nursing, her schedule changes leaving her with most afternoons free while he's still training and taking class on top of it. When he comes home he gives her a breif kiss before crashing to sleep. At first he didn't see the sadness on her face but after a while its all he gets to see.
He calls up Marie, to see if her cousin still breeds dogs and just his luck , her cousin has a new litter of corgis up for sale. She says he's willing to sell him one for six hundred dollars.
Two days later he comes home with a squirming bundle and bags of dog things. Lori's curled on the couch, starting to doze off into her anatomy book. He carefully places the pup in her lap, the pup glad to be out of his grip woofs happyily. Lori jolts starlted and looks to John confusion in her green eyes.
"John? Who's this?" She's still dazed not fully believing that there's a puppy in her lap.
"He's for you. You look so sad and tired i thought this might cheer you up. And i know you're probably lonely since our classes don't give us time to see each other. I-I just wanted to make you happy."
"Hey, Lori. It's John...uhh well I'm going to be late home tonight. I know we had plans but Donnavon threw out his back and needs someone to manage the shop for a while. I'm sorry-shit!" Lori hears some clanging in the background and John continues to curse. "Don! Get back to bed, you're only going to get worse. Lori, I've got to go. I hope you get this."
Lori's face falls as the message ends, she'd been hoping to curl up with him and continue their Star Trek marathon until their reservation at seven.
It was nine-thirty, she cancelled their reservations. And now she's worried, sure John would be home by now? She even got him his favorites from Sam. She's about to scry out his presence when she hears a knock at the door.
"Lori! Open up." She lets out breath she'd hadn't realized she'd been holding. When she opens up the door, he'd standing there looking sheepish and holding a bag of take out from Sam's.
"Lori?" He's confused as she starts laughing.
Between giggles she manged to say, "Look on the table."
Its Saturday afternoon neither of them have classes or training for once, but the two are just enjoying each others company. John is listening to his walkman and flipping through a magazine and Lori is humming an unknown melody under her breath petting Thor (she cackles everytime she calls him over) and highlighting things in her notes.
She gets up and asks if he'd want anything from the kitchen, he shakes his head no. Just his luck she snatches his walkman as girls just wanna have fun comes on.
"Really John. I guess I am the man in this relationship." She says teasing. "Oh! Girls just want to have fun!"
John turns a bit red from embarrassment but tries to snatching it away. She fluidly dodges him dancing backwards. She about to trip on Thor's hammer chew toy and doesn't see it but he does. John pulls her close; timing too late and both fall in a pile. Little Thor trying to climb on top of them, wanting to play the game too.
Lori is impossible to tickle, she has good self control when it comes to that. It doesn't matter if he sneaks up behind her and tickles her sides.
Back when they lived in the apartment, he'd see her making dinner and he'd come up behind her wrap his arms around her and kiss her neck gently. She'll smack his hands away annoyed but he never sees her smile, biting her lip to keep from melting in his arms.
Now every chance he has, John will sneak behind her and tickle her or kiss her neck, sometimes both. Lori struggles to a straight facec after a while, she starts enjoying his little sneak attacks.
But one night she really needs to study and he does it again. Frustrated and tired she gives in, she smiles and kisses his mouth, pulling him close.
His lips are rough, chapped compared to her soft ones, they kiss awkwardly at first; lips kissing more at mouth corners than full on, just like they did when they first kissed. Lori nips at his bottom lip, and tongues start to move against each other.
He looks at her with half lidded eyes, nose bumping into hers as they pull each other closer. Hands grip hips roughly rocking her against him, she pulls away panting and face flushed as she lets out a little moan.
It starts with a bracelet.
They're in their first month of dating when Sam and Marie ask (beg really) if they could take care of Michael for the day. Michael's friend and next door neighbor, Elicia decides to come over and teach them how to make bracelets.
Lori's in the kitchen making lunch and John fumbles with green and gold beads trying to alternate one after the other on the sides on the letter beads that spell out Lori.
Honestly when he gives it to her, he doesn't expect her to wear. But her face softens and she slips it on. She wears it out after a few weeks never taking it off except to shower. She goes out to buy another bracelet making set and restrings it, using the left overs to making him one. John wears it when ever he can.
Years down the line, Stiles plays with it, undoing the knot and she spends hours on her hands and knees with the kids helping her find missing beads.
When she dies, it disappears and despite hours of questioning and searching John can't find a trace. Little did he know it was in a small craved chest in Loki's room in Asgard.
Some nights when Loki feels alone, he would pull it out and remember all the memories attached to it.
So that is part one out of possibly three parts, the other two parts shall be posted tomorrow evening. I'm sorry, i had this saved in my google docs but for some reason my internet wasn't working for about half the day.
Also please check out the poll i have on my profile in regards to Stiles name, thank you.
