Hey there Everybody! I'm back and with a Saint Patrick's Day story! I read on the Victorious wiki that Holly Vega, Tori's mother is Irish… That makes Tori half-Irish and she most likely celebrated the holiday while growing up.
So, after much thinking I came up with what I hope it's an amusing yet touching idea, so enjoy!
Jade groggily got up from her bed, noticing the empty spot next to hers.
"I knew there was a reason why I woke up." She grouched. "Vega… You're up to something."
Jade got her black robe, wore her slippers and walked out of the bedroom she shared with her wife.
Once she opened the door, Jade's jaw dropped.
"There are times I hate being right."
Everywhere she saw the color green invaded her eyes, green wallpaper, four-leaf clovers, a green hat and so on.
"Am I still asleep?" Jade asked before pinching herself, feeling the pain she knew that she was wide awake. "Did a leprechaun throw up here?"
She picked up the green hat but as quickly and she did so, Jade discarded it.
"I'm not wearing that." The former goth continued to walk around her home, wondering out loud "How the hell did Tori do this without me noticing?"
The further Jade walked the greener she noticed everything became, it was as if she discovered that her wife an affection for the color and then some.
Once in the kitchen, Jade blinked, aside from their bedroom, it was the only place in the house she's seen so far that wasn't green.
"I need coffee… It's too early handle Tori's dorkness."
Jade got a cup from the shelve, noticing the coffee makers' light was already blinking, a big hint that her wife most likely thought ahead and thought of buttering up on whatever crazy idea she had for the day.
"Vega… THIS is why I love you." Jade mumbled as she poured her coffee to her cup, only for her to go wide eyed and slacked jaw when she realized her coffee was not dark with two sugars but green with two sugars.
"And this why I'm going to kill you!" Jade snarled "Nobody messes with my coffee, specially this early!"
She ran out of the kitchen with murder in her eyes.
"VEGA!"
Meanwhile the Half-Latina was happily typing away on her laptop within the home studio, which ironically despite being her main place of inspiration did not have anything green.
Unless you count the clothes, she was wearing, Tori had on a leprechaun hat, a pair of green pants and a T-Shirt with a four-leaf clover on it.
"And… Done!" Tori cheered. "I hope Jade likes this."
"VEGA!"
"Looks like Jade found her coffee."
The thespian suddenly kicks the door in with a giant spiky boot. Jade stands in the doorway with no such boot in sight, her eyes narrowed dangerously evil.
"Vega…. Care to explain this?" Jade asked ominously, pointing at her cup of green coffee. "Before… You… I kill you?!"
But Tori was not scared, if anything she was smiling broadly.
"Happy Saint Patrick's Day, baby!"
"Wait… What?" Jade blinked until realization settled in. "That's why everything in our house is green?"
"Yup." Tori replied with a green. "And speaking of green… You're not wearing anything green…. So…"
Tori pinched her wife… In her butt.
"Ow! Vega! What the hell?!"
"You're not wearing green Jade." Tori said coyly. "So, I got to pinch you."
"Who says I don't have anything green on me?" Jade challenged.
"Because I'm not blind?" Tori retorted. "I can see you aren't wearing anything green."
"Very observant Vega." Her wife sneered. "But not observant enough, I'm not wearing anything green yes but I don't need to, I have something green on all at all times!"
"You do?"
"Yes! I do!" Jade snapped. "In fact, you're looking at them right now!"
Tori stared at her spouse from head to toe, not seeing anything that even resembles the color green until she gazed into her face, not an ounce of make up on her but Tori didn't care, to her Jade would always be the most beautiful woman in the world with or without make up and she could always get lost in her eyes.
"Ah yeah!" Tori realized. "They're green!"
And they're narrowed dangerously, a very big clue that her spouse was ready to strike.
"Well played Jade, well played." Tori said. "But technically you're not wearing your eyes, now are you?"
"They're a part of my skull!" Jade challenged "So my head is using them!" And that has always been enough green! No one ever had the guts on pinch me on this day, one look ay my eyes and they back down!"
"Well you have a very scare glare." Tori agreed. "But you're telling me that every year you don't wear any green on Saint Patrick's Day and not once have you been pinched?"
"For twenty-seven years in arrow." Jade replied. "No one ever dared… Except you."
"Well that's because I don't fear you… I love you."
"Well love of my life." The thespian growled. "You forgot the number one rule of our marriage; my coffee is always off-limits!"
"I didn't forget." The Half-Latina said. "I knew you would be mad, it was the perfect way for you to be wide awake."
"Wide awake for what?"
"You'll see." Tori said as she pressed a button on her lap top and it began to print whatever she had been working on.
Once the printer finished… printing, Tori grabbed the piece of paper and cleared her throat.
"In honor of my lovely wife." She teased. "And her green eyes, I wrote a little something that expresses what you mean to me."
Jade raised an eyebrow, took a sip of her coffee and actually thought it was good but instead she made a disgusted face, she wasn't about to give Tori the satisfaction that she enjoyed the green drink.
LOOK INTO YOUR EYES.
BY TORI WEST.
YOUR EYES.
THEY ARE GREEN.
OR THEY MAY BE BLUE?
THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
SOMETIMES I WONDER IF ITS TRUE.
THAT YOU CAN SWITCH THEM FROM ONE COLOR TO ANOTHER.
BY CHOICE OR UNCONSCIOUSLY TEASING ME.
THE SUN MIGHT HELP THE TRICK.
AND I JOKINGLY SAY YOU ARE THE WICKED WITCH WEST.
ONE WITH MEAN MAGICAL POWERS.
BUT DESPITE THAT, AND NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOUR EYES BEHOLD.
I WILL ALWAYS LOOK INTO THE AND CHERRISH THEM.
BECAUSE THEY ARE A PART OF WHO YOU ARE.
I LOVE ALL OF YOU.
YOU ARE PRETTY.
YOU ARE UNIQUE.
YOU ARE SWEET.
YOU ARE A CHAMELEON.
THE FIRST THING I SEE WHEN I WAKE UP.
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES AND DREAM.
WHEN I WAKE UP.
IS YOU.
YOU ARE WHAT KEEPS ME GOING.
WHO MAKES ME HAPPY.
DAY AND NIGHT.
A LUCKY WOMAN I AM.
YOUR EYES ARE A WINDOW TO YOUR SOUL.
A BEAUTIFUL TWISTED SOUL.
WITH A HEART OF GOLD THAT ONLY I CAN HOLD.
AND I WILL KEEP SEEING THAT.
NO MATTER IF IT'S IN PHOTOS OR DREAMS.
WHETHER THEY ARE SHUT OR NOT.
WHETHER THEY ARE GREEN OR BLUE.
OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN.
THOSE EYES OF YOURS.
ARE BEAUTEFUL IN EVERY WAY.
I LOVE THEM.
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
After Tori finished reciting what she wrote, she looks expectantly at her wife.
"Well?" She asked. "What did you think?"
"Vega, that had to be the corniest thing I ever heard." Jade said without skipping a beat. "I'm not even sure if it qualified as a haiku."
"But... Did you like it?"
"No."
Tori sadly looks down at her feet "Oh."
"You called me sweet." Jade said darkly "I'm not sweet, a chameleon? Maybe. Unique? Definitely, but never sweet."
The half-Latina stared back at the other girl, a small smile forming on her features "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure!"
"What about the time you nurse a rabbit back to health?"
"Well I..."
"Or the time you bought Cat a new Mr. Purple because her old one got run over?"
"You forget I ran over that stupid stuffed giraffe, I had to buy her a new one so she would shut the fuck up!"
"Uh huh." Tori replied with a knowing smile "Then please explain the time you were holding me in your arms for twenty-eight minutes the night I told you I loved you for the first time?"
"Well I wasn't about to let you go after that big revelation Vega!"
"Ok then, how about the time..."
"Ok... Ok I get it Vega! You made your point!"
"So? Will you admit that you are sweet?"
"Just a little" the Goth finally relented "Like one percent."
Tori then jumped over her girlfriend's bed to give her a kiss in the lips "For the record, you're always gonna be big bad Jade West to me."
"But...?"
"But the sweet side of yours? She said "That will always be our little secret."
"It better be." Jade growled. "Now Vega, I got two questions for you."
"Shoot."
"One… What the hell did that… Whatever that was has to do with Saint Patrick's Day?"
"Your eyes are green." Tori said. "I just couldn't resist."
"Of course,… You dork."
"And question number two?"
"How did you managed to decorate our house without me knowing?"
"Easy." Tori teased. "A little leprechaun helped me."
"Only if one happened to puke here."
Tori then grabbed her wife's hand and dragged her to their bedroom.
"What now Vega?"
Before we go out and celebrate the day, I want to do something with you."
"Which is."
"You're still not wearing green." Tori pointed out. "But how do you feel about being under some green bed sheets?"
"Let me just finish my coffee." Jade said. "I want to be awake for this."
"AH HA! YOU LIKED IT!"
"Don't get cocky Vega."
Meanwhile at a pub, there was a little man dressed like a leprechaun was not happy.
"Every year that woman hides me gold and every year I don't find it!" The little leprechaun grouched. "Someday I will and then I'll be free from doing her bidding!"
He took a sip from his drink before disappearing.
"Next year, I'll be ready!"
Yup, Tori did had help from a leprechaun, it was a silly ending but I just couldn't resist the idea of Tori having a magical creature at her disposal and Jade thinking her wife was pulling her leg.
What Tori wrote for Jade was meant to what I hope it's an original way of telling her wife how much she loves her because in most cases usually they write a song in many fics, in here I went for a little poetic love.
Anyway, what did you guys think of this one? Good? Bad? In Between?
See you all in April Fool's for yet another Jori Holiday.
