Honestly. I have no clue what to call this or where this came from but it happened. Just stuff I've been toying with as well as trying to push my boundaries with these characters.
Anyway, though! I hope y'all enjoy it though! Much love, my friends!
A loud wack rang out in the baseball field before I dropped my bat and started running as fast as my legs could take me toward first base.
"And there it goes, everyone!" I slid with ease as my toes of my right foot landed on the plate with ease. "AND IT'S STILL GOING!" I looked over toward the guy on second and gave him a small nod to tell him to go ahead toward third. Once he launched off, I followed suit toward second. "AND IT'S GONE, EVERYONE! A HOMERUN BY JAMES LAKE JUNIOR!" I felt a smile on my face as I continued running around the last few bases until I came across the home plate once more. My teammates started chanting my name as I started making my way back to the dugout they were waiting within.
Well, that was until I saw a familiar flash of purple and black within our home side bleachers.
I started jogging over toward the fence that kept the onlookers safe as I saw she was standing there with a proud smile on her face. Once I came close enough to grab onto the fence, she did the same as the only thing separating us was the chain fence.
"Nice hit, mi amor." I smiled like a fool as I felt her fingers dance against mine. Her eyes looked back into mine and I felt as if I could rule the world with her being there before me. It wasn't until then that I noticed that she was wearing a purple shirt with my number on it in black. I felt my face flush with how it was obvious now who she was watching the game for.
"Thanks, love. I'm glad you could make it. Nice shirt, by the way."
"Made it myself, Jimmy Jam!" I looked over her shoulder to see one of her best friends placed an arm over my girlfriend's shoulder. "Isn't it perfect?" I looked back toward my girlfriend as I felt a lopsided smile place itself onto my face.
"Definitely."
"Come on, Lake! Get in here!" I turned my head to give my coach an apologetic look before turning my attention back to Claire and Mary.
"I'll talk to you two later, okay?"
"We'll be here! Right, Claire?" My girlfriend gave me a soft smile coupled with a nod before I pushed myself away from the chain fence and jogged over toward the dugout.
The rest of the game came and went as my thoughts were preoccupied with pretty hazel eyes that were owned by a Latina wearing my number in the bleachers.
"Bro! That home run was killer! You knocked that thing right out of the park!" I chuckled at my best friend that placed a proud pat on my back as we started making our way toward where the girls normally parked.
"It was nothing."
"Nothing but AWESOME! Give yourself some credit, dude!" I only laughed again as I saw that Claire was leaning against the hood of her car as she and Darci were waiting on the two of us. "Hey, did Mary run off with Hank again?"
"Don't doubt it. I told her to be here right after the game but I guess she either didn't hear me or didn't care."
"I'm betting money on the second." I let Darci's and Toby's conversation fade into the background as I brought myself to a stop before her.
"Hey." She gave me a smile as she placed her hands onto my shoulders.
"Hi." I chuckled as I placed my hands on her waist. It took a lot for us to get to where we were. But I would happily say I wouldn't change a thing. Especially since the weight of Excaliber was in my baseball bag and the white part in her hair was obvious showcasing in my mind about what we've been through.
But being able to just be kids after it all? Definitely my favorite. Especially when she was the one that talked me into playing baseball again.
"You deserve to have something you enjoy. You used to play it as a kid, right?"
"Claire, that was almost seven years ago."
"So? You've done the impossible before. What's the difference now?"
I smiled at the memory as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into a hug that I couldn't help but reciprocate.
Definitely my favorite by far.
We pulled apart slightly as she placed her hands onto both sides of my face with a soft smile dancing on her face while her thumb danced over the scar on my left cheek.
"It's great to see you enjoying yourself."
"But I'll burn, Claire."
"Jim, you have nothing to worry about. You're human again, remember?"
"But what if I'm not completely human!? What is I still turn to stone?! I don't-!" Claire placed both her hands on my face before placing a quick kiss to the tip of my nose.
"You'll be fine. I promise." She took both my hands as she slowly guided me into the soft sunlight that was streaming in through my bedroom window blinds. "I won't let anything happen to you. Remember?" I smiled at her as I started feeling the warmth of the sunlight onto my hands and forearms. Before I knew it, I was standing with her in the sunlight as if I've never been afraid of it before. "There you are." I gave her an apologetic smile as I looked into her eyes that I always loved. Even more now as I saw how the sunlight turned them to a beautiful auburn color.
"I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about, Jim." She placed a quick kiss on my lips before placing her head into the small nook in my neck. "You're going to need readjusting and I'm going to be right here with you through all of it." I wrapped my arms around her with a large smile on my face as I knew her words were true.
And they were.
"I'm happy you helped me get to this point." I kept my arms looped behind her lower back as I had a soft smile dancing on my lips. "I know it's been one hell of a ride getting from point A to Z for us, so thank you for sticking it out with me." She giggled at me for a moment before lacing her arms around my neck like she always has.
"Thank you for having me." I leaned in on instinct and placed a soft kiss on her lips. I felt her smile against my lips as she reciprocated with ease as my mind felt as if fireworks were going off within my skull. My skin felt electric as it always did whenever she kissed me and this moment was no different.
Deya's Grace do I love her. More than the world could ever understand.
"Hey! This isn't some kind of make-out corner, you two! I get it, you've seen the end of the world together more than once, but get a God damn room!" I flipped Toby off as kept Claire close to me. Catching her lips once more as all Darci could do was laugh at us. All I cared about though were the soft lips that pressed against mine. But he was right. This wasn't the place for us to go any further than simple kisses.
Even though I knew it would only take one lick from her lips for me to change my mind.
As we pulled apart, Claire just simply patted my right cheek as a smirk danced on her lips.
"We'll finish this later." I smiled as I knew her words were true. As they always were.
"You two are disgustingly cute." I saw my girlfriend glare over toward my best friend as a simple reply fell from her mouth.
"Fuck off." I laughed wholeheartedly at both of them as we all started getting into the car as if it was second nature to all of us.
I felt Claire pin me down against the mattress by my shoulders as she straddled my lap. We shared a small laugh as I placed my hands on her hips out of instinct. Almost immediately afterward, her lips captured mine as her fingers dug into my shoulders and her nails scratched my skin gently under my plain white shit she was grabbing onto. I felt as if I was losing myself slightly as we started a small battle against one another. Especially with our tongues. One of her hands went into my hair and tug slightly each time we separated even slightly.
Sweet mother of-!
I felt myself shiver slightly as I heard the beautiful woman holding me down moaned slightly into my mouth.
I might lose my mind here. I might actually lose my mind.
We separated slightly as I leaned back into the mattress with a sloppy lopsided grin as I looked up toward the witch above me.
"Do I say enough that I love you? Cause I don't think I do." She giggled at me for a moment as she ran her fingers through my hair.
"You could stand to say it more. I love you too, though." I felt my smile widen as I felt her lean down and placed her head in the small crevice between my head and neck. Her content sigh brushing against my skin which caused my skin to tingle at the sensation. I turned my head to kiss her cheek before letting out a soft sigh myself.
There were so many times I wanted to have these kinds of moments. Just to be here and be a normal couple with everything we've been through. Though we did have moments like these when we were heading towards New Jersey, it was kind of hard when you're surrounded by trolls.
Also, kissing with two sharp tusks on your lower lips is kind of difficult when you're girlfriend is a human.
Claire never seemed to mind though.
I chuckled at myself as I rubbed my hands up and down her back.
She always told me that it never mattered on what it was that happened between us. She would always love me. Just as we always said we would find a way to save each other throughout the almost two years we have spent being trollhunters.
Well, now I'm a 'King' and she's a witch, but it doesn't change anything.
"Hoy desperté con ganas de besarte. Tengo una sed de acariciarte." I smiled as I heard Claire whisper the lyrics as she continued to toy with my hair.
"Enredarme a ti y no soltarte. Eres tan embriagante." I placed another kiss on her cheek as I finished the beginning lines to the song. "Eres tú."
"Your accents getting better." I laughed wholeheartedly at her response as I started to toy with her hair as she was with me. "Te quiero."
"I love you too, Claire." I smiled contently as I leaned my head gently against hers. "I love you too."
