Chariot has never been one to rely on technology, she never cared for such things, that's why she was indifferent to the idea of getting a phone until Croix got one for her.
She just knocked on her door one day, put a phone in her hand and told her to use it instead of sending her letters via Alcor. She said he has a grudge against her hair.
So, Chariot tried to learn how to use it, even though she and Croix are both at Luna Nova. Although it was convenient for when they'd miss each other because of work schedule, so they started texting each other.
Today was no exception, as she stood in her class, praising Diana for answering another question right.
Her class was almost over, and she thought she'd let them copy some notes. That was when her phone made a sound and she grimaced as most of her students stared at her with amusement.
Sighing, she checked her messages.
Croix: Hey beautiful 3
Chariot: Croix I'm in class!
Croix: The more reason to text you and fluster you!
Chariot: Hey!
Chariot rolled her eyes and found herself smiling, she then heard a few students snickering.
Chariot: Chérie, please.
Croix: Ah, yes. That would be what you'd say if I were pinning you against the wall right now and kissing you…
Chariot: oh…
Croix: Maybe some neck bites here and there…
Chariot: Oh… Oh heavens… I'm going back to my class…
Croix: Good luck concentrating.
Chariot: I hate you.
Croix: You love me.
Chariot: I love you… We'll talk later.
Chariot put away her phone and fanned herself, before noticing the stares her students were giving her. She buried her face in her palms.
"No one speak of this."
Croix: I choked on some ramen and it wet my pants.
Chariot: Are you okay?!
Croix: No, I just lost my lunch, and my pants are wet.
Chariot: Go change!
Croix: …
Croix: No, I'm good.
Chariot: Croix Meridies if you don't change your pants right now, you will not step into my tower.
Croix: FINE.
Croix: I'M DRY NOW! Are you happy?
Chariot: Yes. I love you.
Croix: You're so bossy sometimes, I swear.
Croix: It's kind of hot.
Chariot: Oh…
Chariot: So… Akko just blew up the classroom…
Croix: I'm not even surprised. What did she do this time?
Chariot: She had a fight with some students and they knocked over some potions and someone accidently casted a spell.
Croix: Wow, that sounds wild! How come none of this happens in my classes?
Chariot: Maybe I'm not cut out to be a teacher…
Croix: That's not true. You're the best teacher in this entire school.
Chariot: Better than you?
Croix: Okay, I wouldn't go that far, honey.
Croix: But you are a wonderful teacher. You went as far as giving Akko extra lessons.
Chariot: I stole her magic in the first place, it was the least I could do for her.
Croix: I was the reason you stole it, and look how I treated her.
Croix: But the past is the past, and what matters is what you're doing now, and I think you're doing great.
Chariot: Oh… Thank you.
Croix: Chariot I know you're crying, please don't cry.
Chariot: They're happy tears!
Croix: But I'm not there to hug you, so don't cry until I'm there!
Chariot: I can't stop from crying!
Croix: When I see you later, I'll cuddle you for the rest of the night, okay?
Chariot: Okay.
Chariot: Are you done yet?
Croix: Almost. Finneran is lecturing me about something.
Chariot: And that something is?
Croix: I have no idea. It's bold of you to assume I'd listen to her.
Chariot: That's true. You can never get along.
Croix: You make sure to rest, it's been a long day. I'll be home once she's done. Or I'll just jump off the window again.
Chariot: No!
Croix: I'll land on my roomba!
Croix: Anyway, don't miss me too much!
Chariot chuckled and put away her phone. She just walked inside her tower, and she leaned against the door with a smile. Talking to Croix has made her working days a lot easier. She loved texting her during breaks, even if it meant being humiliated in front of her students.
Sighing, she changed out of her robes and fell right into the sofa.
Over time, her tower has changed. There was more furniture, and she actually got a bed.
She let out a tired sigh, before staring at the ring in her hand. She couldn't help but grin.
Ten years ago, she never thought she'd see her again, let alone marry her.
Hearing the door's knob move, she jumped out of her seat and ran to hug Croix the moment she stepped in.
The lilac haired woman chuckled, as she expected the hug, and pulled her close with a satisfied sigh.
"Hey, I'm home."
"Welcome home." Chariot whispered, before kissing her. She then pulled away and smirked. "You smell like ramen, go take a shower."
"Wow, giving me orders."
"You said it was hot, didn't you?"
"Yes, you're totally turning me on." Croix wiggled her eyebrows, making the redhead push her way gently while chuckling. Croix laughed and stole a kiss from her before running to the shower.
After having a shower, and eating dinner, they both cuddled on the couch, accompanied by the T.V.
"Hey, Chariot. Can you guess who is the luckiest woman in the world?" Croix asked, resting her head on her wife's.
"Is it me?" Chariot answered teasingly, before pecking her cheek.
"No, silly. It's me. I'm married to the kindest soul in the world." Croix said, pulling her closer, making sure that she was loved.
Chariot smiled fondly, kissing her softly.
"Then we're both lucky, because you make me so happy."
