I hope y'all are staying healthy. I will try to get some writing done to help y'all stave off boredom. It's about the only thing I can do from quarantine myself.

Title: Housewarming Gift

Pairing: Bickslow x Lucy

Requester: raijindork

Prompt: "There was an etching of a bird on the door."


There was an etching of a bird on the door.

It was in flight, probably some sort of swallow but that was about all that Bickslow could figure from his limited knowledge on birds. Still, the image stuck in his head in a way he had trouble articulating. Maybe it was because he knew it meant something to Lucy, even if he wasn't sure what that would be. He wondered if Laki had carved it for her as a housewarming gift.

Which brought him back to his original purpose in coming to her door in the first place, his own gift for her poorly wrapped and held awkwardly under one arm, and so he raised his hand to knock on his friend's door, desperately hoping that she would like what he'd spent half his latest reward on.
