Stepping off the jet, Puck Goodfellow hoped to see his long time girlfriend, Sabrina Grimm, waiting for him with a smile on her face, but instead, he was greeted with nothing.
An empty runway.
He called a cab to take him home, and wondered what he had done for her to not show up.
As the king of Faerie, in the human world his father was a very wealthy businessman, causing their whole family to constantly be followed around by paparazzi when spotted outside. For the past two weeks, Puck had been constantly followed around California, while on a business trip for his father. The sound of the cab pulled the fairy from his thoughts, and he loaded his bags and rode home.
OOO
"Sabrina!" He called once he opened the door. The smell of cinnamon filling his nose, a familiar scent.
"Sabrina!" Still no answer.
Puck dropped his bags and went up the stairs. After checking the guest bedrooms, he deducted she was in their bedroom. Not finding her there, he stepped into their adjoining bathroom, and was met with a heart-stopping sight.
Blood. There was stains on the sink, and a razor lying in the bathtub. White towels were strewn across the floor with specs of red. The floor creaked in the bedroom.
"Puck?" Sabrina called out.
Puck's head whipped around to find Sabrina standing in the doorway of the bathroom, her hair tied in a messy bun, an oversized sweatshirt, which was his, and a big smile on her face.
"You're home," she runs towards him and jumps into his arms.
It's good to be home.
"I missed you so much, I know it's only been two weeks, but that's long enough," she mumbled into his shoulder.
"I know, love, I know." And Puck kisses her like he's been wanting to ever since he stepped onto the plane two weeks ago.
Five minutes into their reunion, Puck is brought back to reality, and remembers everything he saw on the bathroom floor.
"Sabrina," he said, tears gathering in his eyes, "why'd you do it?"
She gave him a confused look, "What do you mean?"
"You… you cut," he whispered.
"I-," she started, and then dropped her head. Puck heard her sniffling and could feel his heart start to ache. He hates seeing her cry.
"Shh, it's okay Sabrina, just let it out," Puck kisses her on her forehead, and in her hair.
"P-Puck?"
"Yes?"
"Who's Esmerelda?"
Puck sighs and runs his fingers through his hair out of frustration. "Sabrina, please."
"No," she sits up, "Tell me. Tell me why she was with you in California, the trip you insisted was, 'business only'. Tell me why she was always in the paparazzi photographs with you, while I was home by myself. Tell me.." Her voice wavers and she whispers, "Tell me why you're so surprised I cut."
Puck could feel his heart break into a million pieces.
"Sabrina, I swear, I didn't cheat on you. She was a friend that I grew up with as a baby, and we haven't seen each other for 20 years. Esmerelda thought it would be fun to catch up. Yes, we went to get ice cream, and we were photographed together but I swear, nothing happened. Sure, she was looking for a relationship, which I didn't know at the time, but nothing… I would never hurt you like that. I hope you know that. I love you so much."
Sabrina looked up at him, eyes filled with unshed tears. "I do know that.. But it was just so hard. Sitting here, knowing that you were somewhere else. That you were on a beach with some other girl, I…" she looked down at her hands. Ashamed, hurt, and broken.
"I never, ever want to do anything that would hurt you. I never want to be responsible for you cuttingyour sweet, beautiful body."
Puck pulled her into his arms, and held her tight. He rubs her thighs to try and comfort her, thinking rubbing her wrists would just hurt her, but she winces in pain and pulls away.
"Did I hurt you?" He asks, concerned.
"M-my cuts…"
"You cut your thighs." The fairy shades his head. He should've known. Her wrists are clear.
"Yes, because hers… hers" She finally snaps and collapses in her lover's arms, sobbing.
"Because hers are what, Sabrina?"
"Because her thighs are smaller,"she whimpers, and Puck can feel tears trickle down his face.
"No, no Sabrina, please. You're beautiful. I love you just like this. Never again." He tells her, as he kisses her forehead.
He leaves a trail of kisses down her body until he reaches the cuts, and kisses each one.
"Never again."
OOO
The reason why I bolded "Because her thighs are smaller," is because I want you all to know that no matter what, all of you are beautiful, and all it takes is for you to see that you're beautiful too. Stop comparing yourself to other people, and I know that it can be one of the hardest things to do, but I promise, each and everyone of you is gorgeous and perfect in your own way.
I hope you guys enjoyed this one shot, and please review what you think, I know its different from what I usually write.
