Stephanie Mariana Clarity Fawcett is quirky. (impermanence) wrote in wished,
For a split second, she tried to think of another time when she'd acted this way before...and she couldn't put her finger on a single time. Stephanie was not an overreacter, just like she wasn't a good guesser. As much as she tried to tell herself that it was silly, a little nagging voice in the back of her head was telling her she knew exactly what was wrong, and she just didn't want to admit it...she told it to shut the hell up.
The smile on his face brought one back to her own, and she laughed softly when he called her a muppet. Everything was going to be alright then. She knew that it would be, but her own reaction had been bad for her...she could only imagine what it was like for him.
She snuggled into him when he pulled her back. She could breathe easier again. That was all it took. Being back in his arms was like an instant cure, making her feel better again. The softest hint of a blush rose to her cheeks when he kissed her forehead, and she smiled an almost secretive smile to herself.
Then he had to make a wise crack. Of course, like any self-respecting woman, she fought against his hold on principle, but she couldn't break free, "Stephen Felix! That is the second time tonight you've made me say your middle name! You are so lucky you're stronger than me," she blew a bit of hair out of her eyes as she half way looked up at him, even though she was pulled tightly to his chest.
She could still use her fingers so she gave him bit of a jab in the side that probably didn't hurt at all and decided that would have to suffice, "You're actually wrong about that one, for your information. But let's not talk about my monthly. It's weird," She relaxed a bit against him, deciding that the best way to get him to let her go was to be still. She wasn't going to hit him now anyway.
"You're insanely lucky that I love you," Her wrath was probably fearsome, but it was so rare that it was hard to say exactly what happened. Still, what she said was the truth...he was her best friend, and she loved him. It certainly wasn't the first and wouldn't be the last time she said it.
