Musings
Who: Ash and Lucy
Where: Ash's House
When: Monday, 3/8, Afternoon-ish
Today, Lucy and Ash were sacked out on the sofa of his living room. She was sprawled across the sofa with her head in his lap, while he was stroking her hair and basically putting her to sleep doing it. Lucy was already tired from all the running around that she'd had to do to make sure that everyone was OK now. Today was supposed to be a day of relaxation and sitting with Ash...and maybe some sexy fun times later, but only after she got her strength back. Part of her way of getting said strength was the half-finished Sugar Fairy Shooter sitting on the floor in front of the couch. She rolled over, grabbed the drink, and took a sip of it. She'd LIKE to get her energy back, thank you. A month in heaven sitting around on a cloud had apparently made it so that she was having to get back used to the fast pace of her life. Gah! She was ready to get things back to normal again, or normal for her life.
Funny how Lucy had gotten back from heaven... While Ash now felt like he was IN heaven. He felt, for the first time in months, whole again. At peace. There was that part of his psyche that was irreparably broken now... but hopefully that part (the part that would likely be murderously protective of Lucy forever now) would never have to rear its ugly head again. He stroked her hair slightly and whispered down to her. "So... I suppose we should probably start trying to get back to life as usual. School for you, some kind of work for me..." Because yeah... Ash still didn't quite feel he was able to be a watcher again.
"Or...we could just stay in here and let Mere get everything for us," Lucy offered. She finally sat up, more so that she could sip her drink and not spill it everywhere by accident. She hadn't done it yet, but that didn't mean it wouldn't happen. "I kind of like the sound of that plan, personally."
"As do I... But I don't think Meredith plans on being our housemaid for much longer. She has an actual LIFE to lead again, now." He still wasn't sure HOW he'd done that... But he was thrilled for her. "Besides... We have our whole lives together now."
"She doesn't seem to mind it," Lucy said, although she was sure that Mere just wanted to be around them more than actually going out and doing stuff for them. Lucy had always known that Mere had loved Ash (girls can just tell those sorts of things), but now things were different. "Actually, can I say something that I've noticed? She doesn't seem to WANT to leave us, and I don't mind it. Is that weird?" The fact that girls had really only been a curiosity before, and now she was REALLY interesting in Mere made her curious as to how all the magic might have affected them.
"No... Its not weird. She gave you your life back. It only seems natural you'd feel some... connection to her now." Makes one wonder exactly what's gone on, hm? "And as long as she WANTS to stay here, she's welcome." Ash sighed then, thinking about something. "I don't much think your parents and siblings will want you staying here full-time though. We may not like it... But you ARE still sixteen."
Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't feel weird about anything that's...you know, been happening." She blushed. "I feel a little weird that I don't feel weird about it, you know, like maybe I should have?" She shook her head. "Am I making sense? As long as it's not weird, then I'm fine, though." She snuggled up to him. "I don't want to go home. This FEELS like home now." Another weird thing, maybe? Who cared? "Still, you're probably right."
"At this point... part of me doubts Kevin and Chloe would mind you staying here. They know I can protect you." And would protect her. No matter the cost. "But your parents... might be a harder sell. We don't want them to freak and make you go back to San Diego..." As for the situation with Meredith? He was staying strangely mum. He had a lot of thoughts on the situation... but wasn't sure how to word them without sounding like a jerk or a pig.
Lucy wanted to ask Ash what he thought about what had went on, but...well, he'd say if he wanted to. Maybe he didn't know yet? Who knew with Ash, after all. "I think Kevin might care more that Chloe, because he's my brother, and he did once threaten to hit you with a car," she giggled. "But yeah, probably should listen to my parents for as long as I have to."
"If you can think of a way to get them to agree to it, I'd let you move in in a heartbeat. I mean, you know I'll make sure you stay in school, everything like that..." And after pausing, he tried to weigh in slightly on the... other situation. "I get that you... feel a pull towards Mere now. As I said... it even makes sense. But what worries me is the overall dynamic if we dare take any of this further. Does she feel anything more than physical attraction to you? While I *do* love her... I also know you're my soulmate. And I don't think I can feel THAT strongly towards anyone BUT you... How fair to her is that? Plus... two other things worry me: I saw how it turned out when Gwen was in this kind of relationship, and... you're sixteen. I'm nineteen. Mere's eighteen. This could really place us ALL in a negative light if we aren't careful." ...what the HELL was going on with these three, hm?
"Maybe I can talk to them about that," Lucy said to him. It was worth a shot. Heck, they could come and check on her...as long as they called first, anyway. "I'm not really worried about what other people think, Ash." She did date him, after all, even with so many people questioning her sanity over that. "I think that, if Mere just felt physically for me, then she would hold that back. It's just a feeling I have, but you know her better than I do." She thought on the rest that he said. "And there are different kinds of love, Ash. I'm starting to think that you can love more than one person and it not end badly, necessarily." One thing that had went back for Gwen was apparently that she had....left or something for a while. Lucy didn't have the clearest understanding on that one.
"Plus... I think I could get Mr. Giles to talk to them if need be. Vouche for me. He's a hell of a talker when he needs to be." Ok, so sue him. He was trying to think of a way to make it work out. "And we're making a pact. Right now." Yeah, he'd been thinking of this all day. "Tonight. We're going out. And we're going to get back to our normal lives. No more sitting here clinging to each other like we're afraid of the other one vanishing. Its nice, yes... But not altogether healthy, emotionally."
"Probably not healthy emotionally, yeah," Lucy admitted, even though she was perfectly content to do just that. Probably why it wasn't healthy. "Hey, you owe me a 'coming back from the dead' party, remember?"
"Damn right. We'll celebrate our new lives together." He couldn't help it... he felt his eyes turn black as he spoke. "And let it serve as a warning: that from this point on - anyone who tries to harm you will be destroyed."
She didn't see his eyes turn black, because she was snuggled up to him. "Well, hopefully we'll get to grow old and decrepit together and be surrounded by lots of grandchildren and won't have to worry about stuff like that."
His arms tightened protectively around her, as he calmed himself by breathing in that familiar scent of her hair, and kissing her softly on top of the head. "I love you, Lucy. So, SO much..."
"I love you, too, Ash," she said, pressing herself as much against him as possible. She couldn't help it; she had been separated from him as well.
