Not my best chapter, but I hope you guys find amusement with it. :) Thank you for all of the reviews so far! Feel free to request situations you would like Mustardseed/Daphne.
The chapters... they will get better... I promise. haha.
Enjoy!
Mustardseed poked the rather colorful assortment of food on his plate which was suppose to be his dinner. It didn't look like dinner. It looked like a someone took a rainbow and chopped it up, put it in the blender, added spice and called it dinner.
He poked it again with his fork.
"No playing with your food." Daphne admonished, before she began to gobble up her own portion of grub.
Mustardseed opened his mouth to protest but decided that it was just not worth it, instead he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Eating." She replied shortly, eyeing his untouched plate, "Something I can see you are unfamiliar with."
"Only when the food is unfamiliar to me." He retorted.
"Oh pleeease. You lived in New York. You probably had all sorts of strange foods."
"I lived under New York."
She shrugged, "So? You ate snails and earthworms too. Your point?"
"I did not!"
"Oooooh!" Daphne squealed and glanced at him, "Can we get him?!"
Mustardseed ran his fingers through hair, glancing at the sparkly unicorn stuffed toy...and the price tag. He made a face. Who came up with these prices anyway, no, who came up with sparkly unicorn toys. Everyone with a brain knew unicorns didn't sparkle.
"No. I find it scientifically incorrect and that disturbs me."
"Your face disturbs me!"
He threw up his hands, "This is part where you flatter me till I buy you the damn toy!"
"Oh! Mustardseed, you are absolutely amazing and so handsome. Not to mention smart, brillant, and, uh... you have the most amazing house ever! Also you have so much money so you should buy me this toy!"
"Are you really this dense?"
"...uh, so... Am I getting the to-"
"No."
"Dammit!"
The third time Daphne broke his window, Mustardseed firmly told her that she was going to personally fix it. He didn't care if she used magic or called someone to do it. It was going to be fixed and she was going to do it.
Daphen argued that it was his house and he should fix it.
He argued that it was her crowbar and she should fix it.
She admitted that it was Sabrina's crowbar and maybe her sister should fix it.
It took several blackmail attempts and after he threatened to cancel his Netflix account is when she relented at went to go fix it.
Mustardseed was very much relieved because he really liked Netflix.
It was only till he went to check on her progress that...
"Why are you using ducktape?"
She rolled her eyes at him, pausing in the middle of ducktaping every piece of glass together with several wood boards. "Ducktape holds the universe together. Duh." Her eyes narrowed and held up the triangle glass pane she made, then looked towards the square window, "Wait. Something isn't right here..."
"Many things- where did you get the wood from?"
She didn't even look up from trying to jam the triangle glass in the square space, "I used the crowbar and took apart your bedroom wall."
"You what?"
"Like you were using the wall. Who uses walls anyway." Daphne stepped back and looked at the new window with a critical eye, "Huh. Looks good."
"You're fixing my wall too."
"Eh?! But it was Sabrina's crowbar that did it!"
Mustardseed facepalmed. They never got anywhere with any of their conversations.
They were almost living together. He didn't know how Daphne got so much free time to break into his house or to fix his meals, and he didn't know how Daphne was escaping the eagle eye of her older sister. If Sabrina knew that every morning he woke with Daphne sitting in the same bed as him... well, he was pretty sure that she would murder him. Painfully. With that crowbar that Daphne used all the time.
They went grocery shopping together.
He would go shopping and Daphne would be right alongside him.
They would run together.
He would run in the morning and she would hide in the bushes and watch him.
...
"Whatcha' thinking about?"
"You."
"Aww. What about me?"
"You're a creep."
"Yep. So are you."
"What the hell do I do?!"
"Why are you investigating me?"
"Because you did a crime."
"What crime?"
"Can't tell you."
"When did I do it?"
"...Can't tell you."
"Who are the witnesses?"
"Only one."
"Who?"
"Can't tell you."
"What can you tell me?!"
Silence.
"Fine. You stole something."
"I didn't steal anything!"
"You did..."
Daphne lowered her camera and laid it on the ground. She sighed and grabbed the ends of her sweater and twisted them in her hands.
It was only a whisper and she glared at the ground.
"You stole...my heart."
There.
Mustardseed frowned, "I didn't catch that."
She stared at him, "What..."
"No. Really. You whispered. What did you say?"
Daphne gaped at him and he wondered if she had said something important.
"I said..." She paused, "you look dumb in your pyjamas!"
Mustardseed stared at her. That wasn't what he thought he heard before, wait- "My mom bought these pyjamas!"
"So?"
"My mom!"
"Did they use to be her pyjamas?"
"No!"
After one of their many fights, Mustardseed found himself in front of a familiar stand, in a familiar shop. The things he would go through to make Daphne talk to him again after a fight. He held back a grimace after the clerk smirked at him.
Then he got the heck out of there.
He wasn't even going to wrap it, it was going to be sitting on the kitchen counter for Daphne when she came in the morning.
He glanced in the bag and groaned. This should be the gossip in the town within the next week if that clerk opened his stupid mouth. Mustardseed could just see the gossip magazines titles.
Fairy Prince Buys Sparkly Unicorn.
Is his empty house so lonely that this prince resorts to scientifically incorrect unicorns for company?!

Oh, the things he did for Daphne.
