Here is CeriseBriar; now, I have my list of pairs that I'm working on and, while the requests have been flooding in, if I get more anonymous reviews that only ask for a pair without commenting on the chapter itself, I will be deleting them. Now, enjoy!
Rolling In The Deep-Adele-3:48
So, this was it. This was good-bye.
"Cerise, I'm sorry but, it has to be like this…I can't ignore my destiny," Briar's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke these words.
"Yes, you can…You think that falling in love with you was part of my destiny?" Cerise countered.
"Well, no but…I fell for you too, you know!" Briar tried to glare at her thorough her tears, "But, Cerise, I can't let you throw away 100 years just because I'm going to. Go and find love with someone else. You're no monster and, sleeping for 100 years would hold you back…100 years of sleep is nothing to some party girl like me…"
Knowing that Briar's mind was made up, Cerise did the only thing that she could in this moment. She stepped forward and gave Briar a gentle kiss, the last kiss she would ever give her.
"Sleep well," The wolf-eared maiden offered before turning to walk away.
A part of Briar wanted to cry out for her, to stop this all.
Music-Madonna-3:46
In the spirit of flipping scripts and rewriting destinies, Briar was very excited to be opening up her new nightclub. She had been spinning and while that was fun and she loved her new-found fame as a DJ, she was dying to get on the dance floor. When Melody took over on the turntables, Briar all but dragged Cerise out on the floor!
"Dance with me, babe!" Briar exclaimed as she lowered her sunglasses.
"Sure," Cerise blushed, just more or less moving her shoulders.
"Aw, c'mon! Don't be shy," Briar started to grind all up on Cerise, "Feel the music!"
Cerise blushed as she got a grip on Briar's waist. If this was the idea of 'feel the music' then, Cerise liked it very much.
"There you go," Briar slowed down her speed when the music slowed as well, "Hope you can go all night!"
Awesome (You Are My Hero)-Ya Kid K-3:59
Cerise had always prided herself on the fact that she was able to provide enough protection for both herself and Briar but, every now and then, there were times that Briar had to jump in and be her hero for once.
For example, the pair had been visiting with Maddie in Wonderland and, they decided that buying tons of Wonderlandian candy had been a good idea and, after blowing a bubble with some of the Wonderlandian gum, Cerise had gotten some stuck around her ears after the bubble popped.
"Here we go," Briar gently moved the ice cube she had in hand, "it's moving, we're probably gonna need a few more ice cubes but, it'll come out."
"I hope so," Cerise sighed, "Thanks again."
"Hey, it's no big deal," Briar leaned in and kissed Cerise's cheek, "Anything for my hero!"
Troublemaker-Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida-3:07
There was much more to Briar Beauty than her 'You Only Live Once Upon A Time' mentality. While it did come from a pretty dark place, her sense of adventure was true.
Fences were meant to be hopped, parties were meant to be crashed and, fairy dust concoctions, alcohol free or not, were meant for downing without another question question.
Cerise was mysterious in the way that she tended to keep to herself and kept quiet most of the time. So, when she and Briar became an item, they collided in a beautiful way.
They were a rebellious force to be reckoned with when they were together, everything that could wrong usually did but, they found a way around it each time.
Ayo Technology-50 Cent feat. Justin Timberlake-4:11
Sometimes, Cerise thought that even Briar, her girlfriend, seemed to be glued to her Mirrorphone a little too much.
When Cerise brought this to Briar's attention, they came to an agreement. No tech for a full-day and, that day was a Saturday. Eventually, no tech became very seductive and lacy blindfolds were brought into play.
"Do handcuffs count as 'tech',dear?" Briar teased as she brought out a pair.
"I don't think so," Cerise let her have that one and allowed her to cuff her to the chair that she was sitting in.
"A Mirrorphone might help right now," Briar teased, "I mean, you can't very well see under that blindfold…"
Cerise smirked at that. Shutting off from everyone else but each other for the day had been the way to go. She couldn't wait for the rest of tonight.
Beast of Burden-The Rolling Stones-3:30
While Cerise's ferocious side was no secret any longer, she was not a monster. Oh, no.
And, when anyone tried to criticize Briar for 'loving a monster' they were quickly told off. Rewriting their own stories wasn't enough; they had to continue on and make everyone in the land and in lands far and wide see that, just because someone had beastly traits, they were not just a mindless beast and nothing more.
That was going to be tough, considering that there were kingdoms all over the place but, it was a fight worth while. Ogres, goblins and half-wolf maidens all deserved to be treated as well as their fellow fairytales.
"And, through it all, I'm always gonna stick by your side," Briar gripped Cerise's hands tighter and then snuggled into her, placing kisses on her ears.
Don't Turn Away-Thomas Dolby-5:04
Why, why were they fighting right now?
Maybe it had been the way that Cerise had called Briar a 'messy self-absorbed princess' or, the way that Briar had countered by calling her a 'twisted tale with a big ego' and somewhere in that, they'd yelled at each other like crazy. And, while they were yelling, at least they were looking at each other.
Briar had just given up and now wouldn't look in Cerise's direction. She would give anything for the pink-highlighted haired princess to yell at her once more, if only to see her pretty face.
Cerise could take all of that but, Briar refusing to look at her was the worst.
"I'm sorry," Cerise started to say.
"I'm sorry, too," Briar took her time in turning back to face Cerise.
They exchanged soft, apologetic smiles. They needn't be fighting over stupid things.
Kiss The Girl-The Little Mermaid Soundtrack-2:43
"It's beautiful out here," Briar commented on the lanterns adoring the water.
"It really is," Cerise blushed, not knowing what else to say, "I uh…Thanks for joining me tonight. I'd meant to ask you to do something since Daring's party last week but, I was nervous."
"Nervous? You didn't think I'd say yes?" Briar frowned, "Cerise, that night of Daring's party was crazy but, don't think I forgot our kiss!"
"Briar you don't have to…"
"It was like this!" Briar grabbed Cerise's face and kissed her, reminding her of the kiss they'd shared last week.
Like You-Bow Wow feat. Ciara-3:28
While Briar was no stranger to short-lived flings, when Cerise had come into her life, from the start, she had felt that things would go differently.
Cerise wasn't looking to add names to her 'dating resume' and have bragging rights. No, she was more the type looking for something to last. And, before treating Briar like her girlfriend, she treated her like a person. Too often, that component was left out the relationship component.
But, Cerise was always attentive towards her and, Briar had a lot of faith in them as a couple. Plus, Cerise let Briar dress them in coordinating outfits when they went out and, Briar couldn't be more thankful. And, even if Briar was into electro-fairy pop while Cerise was more punk rock, they did often exchange musical artist names and took little pieces of each other to learn from.
The was new for both of them but, it was new in the best way possible. They had lasting power and wouldn't soon forget it.
Glamorous-Fergie-4:01
"Miss Beauty, over here!" A paparazzi snapped a picture as Briar exited the limousine carriage.
"Miss Beauty, Miss Hood, any wedding plans yet? You did run off to an island kingdom last month? What happened there?" Another paparazzi snapped another picture.
Being a world-renowned DJ was exhausting for Briar and, she knew that it was exhausting for Cerise who, while she'd been supportive through it all, was now thrust into Briar's crazy world of camera flashes and assumptions made by the creeps that held those very cameras.
But, on top of that, they lived pretty comfortably. A big castle all to themselves, hot tubs, bling and various fashions, what more could they ask for? Well, the outfits and jewels were more Briar's thing but, none of that could compare to the love that Cerise gave her day in and day out, regardless if she'd had a rough day in the studio or not.
None of the fame or fortune could buy that.
And here we have come to the end but, no worries. I have more chaps on deck. Thanks for reading as always!
