Will You Be My Valentine
"Auntie Winter!" A yell came snapping DeWinter out of her mind, she turned to see her just turned 15 year old niece Nora sitting at the bar in front of her, she was having her hair combed by her new friend Akira. She looked back around the guild to see a lot of the guild members doing Valentine and Birthday thing as the Twins Birthdays fell on the same day. "What's got in you a daydream?"
She turned back to Nora and smiled at her softly before saying "Nothing I was just thinking how old you've become."
"Don't lie to me Auntie, your cheeks are red." The girl said as she got slightly closer to Winter with a small glare as a voice behind her said "Ah, Nora don't move so much!"
Nora held her glare at Winter who just kept her smile as the two was at a stalemate, Nora was waiting for an opening in her aunts defenses, she knew how powerful they were but she also knew she had flews within them. She didn't even blink as she watched her aunt, it felt like hours, and then it happened a slight movement in Winter's as she blinked, they went to the left slightly not too far so it wasn't someone to the side but behind her. She slowly turned to see what was behind her as Akira yelled for her "Set still will you!" Nora saw the only person who was sitting on that side at the moment was Morrigan, the self-proclaimed War Goddess. Nora's eyes shifted by to Winter who was looking away at the moment, which only confirmed Nora's guessing.
"… You have a crush on Morrigan…" Nora said in a low voice which caused Winter to stiffen from the girl saying that, and Akira looked at Winter with slightly widen eyes and before she could speak Winter gripped both of them by their shirts and pulled them into the back of the bar.
"Ahh!" Nora slightly yelled with small tears in her eyes as she held the back of her head. "She pulled on my hair!"
"I'm Sorry! I didn't get done on the last comb before we was grabbed." Akira explained with another sorry. They both turned to winter but instead of Winter they saw a tiger standing on to legs before them, the sight of this caused Akira to scream but her mouth was quickly covered by the Tiger who said "Shusssh."
"Akira calm down, it's just Winter." Nora told her as Akira eyes widen, she then noticed that was tiger was in Winter's vest. Her eyes then lit up as this was the first time she saw Winter us magic.
"Oh, wow, that's so cool Ms. Winter."
"Never mind that, you two will keep quiet about this." Winter told the two younger girls.
"Or, we could help you dear Auntie." Nora said with a small grin on her face.
(Ohhh)
"Happy Birthday Jean." Isadora said as she slid him his gift wrapped box, She, Jean and Jack was all sitting at a table. Jean took the gift and smiled at Isa happily.
"Thanks Isa, you always give the best gifts."
He opened the box to find a picture that was framed of when her and him went out on their first mission together by themselves when they was 13, Jean looked like he saw into the past as he saw the townsfolk they saved on that mission with them in the photo.
"I remember this day." He looked at Isa with a big smile on his face which caused Isa to turn away so no-one could see her face.
"It's not that big of a deal…" She said in a low voice with a tiny smile on her face, she then heard a small chuckle from Jack and with great haste she stomped onto his toe.
"Oww! Why!" Jack yelled as he held his foot and Isa could stick her tongue out at him.
"Oh right Isa." She turned to face Jean to see a heart shaped box in her face and on the heart was a pair of blue headphones, not just any headphones, it was Vibe Headphones, she was saving up to get a pair they are like super pricey. "I know you're not really into the Valentine part of this day, but I got you something anyways." Isadora could feel the blood rush to her cheeks as she slowly took the box from him.
"Ohh… I..Um..Yo-…Ug….."Jack could only laugh as Isa fumbled over her words, right before another shape pain went into his foot and Jean only laugh at his pain as he watched Isa stomp his foot once more. "T-thank Jean… but you already give me my birthday gift like last week."
Jean chuckled before saying, "I know but this a Valentines day gift, your my valentine this year." This caused her blush to deepen as she never really got anything on this day and she was pretty sure no one liked her like that.
"H-how did you get them? They are like dumb costly!"
He chuckled lightly before telling her to "Open the box and see." She slowly opened the box and she saw in said a picture of her favorite singer, Mercury Blade, that was signed by him to that read.
"To my biggest fan Isadora, tell your boyfriend his Ma thanks again for saving me and the band from those bandits.
Love Merc Blade.
P.S. Take care of those headphones they are like one of my favorites."
Isa's head was spinning as she was taking all of this in at once, not only did she now have a sign autograph by the Merc Blade, she also had his headphone in her favorite color, all thanks to Jean, the blood was going to her head really fast she quickly picked her head up to Jean to say thank you but all's she saw was the boy being kidnapped by his mother. The sight of this act made Isa start to laugh at the boy as she still wore the blush on her face.
(Aww)
"Nora don't you think it would easier if she would just be herself?" Akira asked as her and Nora watched as Morrigan was making her way over to the bar where Winter was waiting. She was looking really scared at the moment and Winter knew it.
Morrigan herself didn't really talk to anyone at the guild really besides Jean who always came over to her to talk, she didn't mind him at all talking to her, Nora would also talk to her sometimes, and this was one of those time as she asked Morrigan if she wanted to try some of DeWinter's pie, Morrigan liked pie so why not. She sat down at the bar and looked at the bar maiden.
"Excuse me Ms. DeWinter?" Morrigan asked making sure she was right and the girl nodded a lot, she didn't know is this was normal or not. "May I have a piece of Apple pie."
DeWinter nodded a lot before walking away as if she was made of stone and this was her first time moving, Morrigan looked around the place and sighed, she didn't care to much for this day, she did wish both the twins a happy birthday but the other half was a pain to her as she didn't like Eros and this day was completely made for him. Soon the bar maiden returned with the pie and set it in front of her. "Thank you."
Morrigan looked at the pie and saw that it looked to be made to perfection, she wasn't even sure if the gods could make something like this, but she would never say that out loud, she didn't need their wrath on this place. She was about to take a bite, but she had this strange feeling that someone, she slowly looked up to see the bar maiden watching her.
"Is there something on my face?" Morrigan asked her which seemed to cause her to jump.
"N-n-no nothing at all, you look great, n-not saying that in a flirty way, not that I wouldn't fl-flirt with you or anything." Her face turned bright red as she looked into the god slayers amber eyes, she had a glare to her look but DeWinter could tell it was not out of anger or anything but just her normal calm face. "I'll stop talking now."
Morrigan cut a piece of the pie as she was still slightly looking at the full on shy DeWinter and she slowly took a bite, Morrigan's eyes slightly widen before going back to normal quickly. Winter wasn't really sure if she liked it or not until she saw Morrigan eat the pie in a flash, like a real flash, like the pie was there and now it's not. "Another, Please."
DeWinter was quick to get her another piece of pie and she just started to watch her eat the pie again as she was still too scared to talk to Morrigan. Morrigan at the pie a lot slower this time as she wanted to make sure her kept all of the flavor in her mouth for a while. She really did love this food made by this girl, she noticed that the girl was staring at her again.
"Is there something wrong?" Morrigan asked causing the girl to jump once more, she didn't even notice she was staring… Suddenly a voice came from the side of the girls.
"Hey Morrigan you still don't have a place to stay yet do ya?" Morrigan turned to see the young Nora sitting next to her with the other girl Akira.
"No, I do not; I have stayed within the guild for the past two weeks."
"Well I believe my dear Auntie Winter has another bedroom and her apartment and was looking for a roommate."
"Hmm… That would be better, but I could not ask for that type of kindness so soon." Morrigan said to the younger girl.
"I don't mind!" Winter said right out of her mouth without even thinking which got the three girls attention, the younger two with big smiles on their face as they saw the blush on Winter's face. "I mean… I wouldn't mind you staying in the apartment with me, it would help both of us as we are both S Class Mages."
Morrigan sat there before she nodded her with a small smile on her lips. "Then so be it, from this day forward, we will live together DeWinter." Her saying that caused Winter to smile shyly as she watched Morrigan eat her pie.
"Well it's not a valentine but it's close enough."
Suddenly the doors to the guild hall burst open and they turned to see a older man a bit older them Sara who was watching everything from the upper floor and a young man by his said. Both of the twins called out to the man.
"Grandpa!"
And done, yes this is a flashback from two years ago about 3 weeks after Morrigan and Akira joined. Also yes the twins B-day is also V-day.
I know a lot of characters won't really show up in flashbacks, so I'm going to add some side missions and small things like that in here to that happens within the months en-between Arcs.
Also remember that I still do Ask a Mage so if anyone wants to ask any mage any question go right ahead.
Anyways remember to Review to give me power and Follow to give yourself the power to stay up to date, also to learn more on the twins Grandpa, go over to my stories sister story at Archangels Breath, ran by my good friend Derekjay2000, they are doing great work.
I'M OUT
