Chapter 4
Mine/Yours

Talia's POV
"Tai, wake up, it's lunch time." Alex shook me.
"Don't wanna." I rolled over. "I'm sleepy."
"Alright then." He picked me up and carried me.
"Put me down, put me down!" I kicked.
"You're asleep." He told me.
"I'm up now." I huffed.
He put my feet on the ground before picking me back up.
"I hope my Alex is shorter than you." I said.
"How dare you say such a horrid curse." He put his free hand to his forehead.
"I hate being the short one in this family." I crossed my arms.
"Adri's shorter than you." He said.
"She's my girlfriend." I told him.
"I'm still right." He shrugged.
"So am I." I said, but there wasn't much to add.
We went to the dining room and Owen was waiting for us. Alex gave me to him. I glared at him before hugging Owen. I was set down and I ate my meatloaf. I wondered if David would have a fit if he knew.

Talia's POV
I woke and I felt Adri next to me. I nuzzled her, trying to nibble her cheek, but I just ended up smooshing my mouth to her. She moaned sleepily. Her hand brushed my hair and I whined. She kneaded my chest. I softly trailed down her body. My magic pulsed a bit. Adri yelped. I stopped, confused.
"Adri?" I yawned.
"You're not Tai." She scooted away.
"Huh?" I frowned.
"… This is a different timeline, remember? You changed places with adult Tai." She explained.
I furrowed my brow, trying to think. I slowly remembered what happened. "I was sleepy."
"It's ok. Just not more groping. Cuddles are good." Adri said.
I pouted.
"You can fuck your Adri later." She sat up.
"I want fuck now." I told her.
"I'm not encouraging this." She started to leave.
"Bye bye kiss?" I whined.
She kissed me on the cheek. "Clean up when you're done."
"Ok." I dug through the drawer.

Talia's POV
I cleaned the toys with magic and put them back in the drawer. I didn't realize how much I needed that. It did feel kinda weird doing it in my old bedroom, but my apartment doesn't exist here. Adri was in Oregon, maybe I could go- She wasn't my Adri. I couldn't drag her from her home for cuddles.
"Talia, are you dressed?" Owen asked through the door.
"Yeah." I answered.
He opened the door and only slightly wrinkled his nose. He stripped the bed and put on new sheets. I put my blankets back on the bed.
"How come you're doing this?" I asked.
"It's better this way." He folded the dirty sheets and picked it up.
"Ok." I shrugged.
"Do you miss Adriana?" He asked.
"A little bit." I admitted.
His fingers snapped and Adri appeared. She frowned then gasped and hugged me. I glared at my father.
"That's not what I wanted." I told him.
"Play nice." Puck and Owen left.
She pushed me on the bed and laid on top of me. She was the same size as my Adri, but I could tell she was different. Not just younger. Her hair was crimped and longer.
"Adri…" I tried to pry her off, but she had pinned my arms. Part of me was mad she had done that. The other part wanted to cuddle.
"I can send you home right now." I told her.
"I won't let you." She kissed my neck.
"You're not- You're my Adri." I hated that I relaxed from her presence.
"I know older me would cuddle my Tai." She pointed out.
"That's different." I said.
"Nu huh. You're still my girlfriend. I want to help." She nuzzled me.
"You're still stubborn." I sighed.
"So are you, angel." She said and I looked at her. "You didn't give each other nicknames?"
"No." I said.
"Then what you call her?" She asked.
"Babe." I answered.
"That's boring." Adri petted my hair. "I'll help you think of some nicknames for your Adri later."
"Fine." I quieted and let myself be soothed.
