A/N: I'm so sorry for the long wait, I've been really sick and have had a lot of surgeries one right after another so I haven't been up to writing! Hopefully I can get back in the swing of things now. Here's more of our fav brotp as a peace offering to not kill me for not updating in months! Enjoy!

Warren leaned against the railing of the porch and sighed. His mind was reeling with the situation at hand, the situation being his love life. Ever since Zzyzx, Vanessa had been living back in her old room and was in the process of fixing all the bridges she burned when she betrayed them, and that included her relationship with Warren. Every time they tried to talk it always seemed to get heated when past mistakes come up.

Warren desperately wanted to forgive her but he felt like there was something holding him back. For one, Ruth still was a little icey towards Vanessa, and Warren always felt like Ruth was his own grandmother so he of course would want her approval of him and Vanessa dating. Of course, there was the issue if Vanessa actually did want to date him. Sure the altercation on the beach back before Zzyzx, Bracken had hinted not so subtly at Van having feelings for him...but how did that hold up now that the end of the world wasn't happening?

The other person he wasn't sure would be happy about the possibility of their relationship was his cousin, Kendra. He knew Kendra had been close to Vanessa before the betrayal. And he witnessed how the betrayal shook her trust and left her hurt. He recalled how she would spend hours sitting outside the quiet box in the dark, thinking about god knows what. He hadn't seen any signs of forgiveness from Kendra yet, but he hadn't seen signs of anger yet either. Kendra just seemed indifferent.

"Whatcha doooinnnn?" A voice called from behind him. He glanced back. Ah, speak, or think, of the devil, the devil shall appear. Kendra walked over and plopped down on the wicker love seat to the right of him.

"Just thinking, what are you dooooooinnnnn?" He said, mimicking her.

"Eating a fruit roll up." Kendra said holding up the sticky candy. "What are you thinking about?"

"My complicated love life."

"What's so complicated about it? You like Vanessa right?" She said, tearing the fruit roll up in half and throwing some in her mouth.

"I mean, yeah?"

"And she likes you, I know that, so what's so complicated?

"Well, there's the whole betrayal thing, you and your grandmother not quite liking her, an-"

"Hey! I like Vanessa fine! What makes you think I don't?" Kendra exclaimed in protest.

"Well, you guys just don't seem to talk or interact at all anymore."

Kendra sighed and sat up, "Warren, even if we aren't as close as we once were doesn't mean that we aren't working on it. You aren't the only one she has been having weekly arguments with."

"You know about those?"

"Yeah, we sit down every week when the house is empty and try and talk it out. It usually ends up with me yelling at her, but it's been getting better. And she's told me that you guys have been getting better too."

"Huh." Warren said. "So you think I should forgive her?"

"I'm not saying you have to right away but I think you will no matter what." Kendra got up and stood next to him, leaning on the railing. "What's really holding you back from it?

"I don't know," Warren said. "Everyone will think I'm crazy to take her back after everything she's done...especially your grandmother, she really doesn't like Vanessa now." Warren sighed looking up, wondering how he got to the point where only his little cousin will listen to him about his love life dilemma.

"Screw them." Kendra said. Warren looked back at her in surprise.

"What?"

"Screw them." She said again. "Listen Warren, if she makes you happy isn't that what matters? Yeah sure everyone is gonna have their opinion of your life, but in the end the only one that matters is your own. Besides, my grandma will get over it once she sees how happy you are."

"Okay, but she broke everyone's trust, and I know she has proven herself but am I wrong to have a little bit of doubt in her?" Warren said, still feeling unsure about the whole thing.

"No. She betrayed your trust, everyone's trust, that's gonna be a hard thing to get back. Look, you don't have to forgive her completely or anything. You don't even have to start anything serious, there's no wedding bells ringing yet." Kendra laughed. "So just...take it slow, try talking to her first, that usually is the normal thing to do."

"Yeah but, she's a blix and all that and-"

"Warr, you're talking to the girl who is now dating a unicorn. Not just any unicorn but the Fairy Prince, son of the Fairy Queen. The same Fairy Queen who is my boss or whatever in some way since I'm her handmaiden." Kendra said.

Warren smiled. "Yeah, you really hit the jackpot there didn't you? Dating a royal unicorn like you're in some Disney movie."

"Yeah, and you think my parents were happy go lucky about that? Hell no! But now, they treat him like their own. People will come around, and if they don't see that your happiness comes before their comfort in your dating life, screw them." Kendra nudged his shoulder with her own.

"Since when did you become such a wise young lady, huh?" Warren teased her. Kendra rolled her eyes good naturedly.

"I have a friend who taught me everything."

"Oh yeah? Who's this? Do I know him? Is he handsome? Does his name rhyme with Larren?" Warren said, faking confusion dramatically.

"No, his name is Tanu." Kendra deadpanned.

"Hey!" Warren exclaimed, wrapping an arm around her neck and messing her hair up in revenge. Kendra cried out in protest, squirming out of his grasp and smoothing her hair back down. She stuck out her tongue at him which of course he copied before they lapsed in a comfortable silence, watching the fairies flitter about the darkening yard.

"Thank you." Warren said after a minute or two. "You really are a smart girl, ya know?"

Kendra smiled at him, happy that he seemed to be in better spirits. "Oh, you're welcome. After everything you've done for me, the least I can do is help you pull your head out of your-"

"Kendra!"

"-and see the light." She finished, giggling as Warren shook his head at her.

"Maybe we've been hanging out too much, I'm rubbing off on you." He chuckled.

"Learning from the best, right?"

"That's right."

A/N: I know I've said I'm going to try and write less Kendra because I write a lot of her, but she is the really the only character that comes easily to me and she's my favorite. Also Warren and Bracken are my next easiest and my brotp and otp respectively with Kendra so that's why they are the ones I write the most. I'll try to include more characters but I can't force it so please don't hate me! Again, hopefully I'll have another, longer update soon!
