needy

“You really think I would get enjoyment out of your suffering, what kind of brother do you think I am.” He commented, though the smile on his face would surely wind the other up. “I try to be.” He commented, humming when she asked what the diagnosis is, “You’re temperature is pretty high so I’m going to get you a cold compress and if it doesn’t clear up in twenty four hours I think you should go see a doctor.”

“I’m sure Chad would get a kick out of seeing me so miserable,” she mused with a soft laugh, although it soon morphed into a dry cough. “I hate being sick,” Athena pouted. Hearing Bryce’s advice, the blonde let out another sigh. While she hated being sick, she did enjoy the attention that came along with it. But having to go to the doctor’s was a whole other story. She couldn’t even begin to explain how much anything hospital-related freaked her out. “Yeah let’s go with cold compress– I think that should help. Those tend to do wonders.”

“It sure seems like it,” Bea answered. “At least that would explain why they never learned how rude it was to interrupt someone wearing headphones. As soon as I’m graduated and a more official member of Ben’s council, I swear to you I am signing a law that makes it illegal to talk to people at the gym. They’ll all be silent like libraries,” she joked. 

“But-… the urge.” Rowan pouted, knowing that if she had made it to somewhere dry where Ainsley was she’d be more then fine for her to shake off the water. “Well I’m not a weather wizard, simply giving you a heads up and yeah- I never trust those things, they’re always inaccurate.”

“I don’t care about your urges–” she rolled her eyes, looking around for anything that could function as a towel for the other. Seeing a scarf neatly wrapped around a mannequin’s neck, Athena unfurled it from the display and handed it to the brunette, “Use this to dry off,” she suggested. “I appreciate the heads up. I’ll just have to stick it out here for a little longer,” Athena shrugged, displeased that she couldn’t continue on with her plans for the day.

🍪 our muses bake together

“now don’t get mad if i get demanding, you know that baking is my thing.” she teased, handing athena the batter covered spoon. “but how does this taste?”

@athenacharming​

“I’m demanding myself, but my baking skills are embarrassing considering my mother’s skills,” Athena admitted with a sigh. There were very few people she’d admit that to, but Bonnie was her best friend. She brought to spoon to her lips, tasting the batter and closing her eyes for a brief moment before opening them with a smile, “That is incredible, Bonnie! Seriously. Sometimes I think you cheat with magic.”

💅 our muses have a self care day together

tiny pulled the cucumbers off her eyes and smiled. “seriously, this is what i needed.”

@athenacharming​

“Tell me about it,” Athena agreed, her eyes still closed in bliss underneath her own set of cucumbers. “Now I’m admittedly trying to visualize what color I should go for in regards to my nails. Do I match my toes to my feet, make one set dark or lighter? The possibilities are endless.”

🐾 our muses find a stray animal

“Can you hear that?” Harry murmured, holding a hand up to silence the blonde next to him. “Just… shut up for a minute.” 

@athenacharming​

“Are you even listening to a thing I’m–” Athena was cut off with her own gasp, unable to believe the other had told her to shut up. “How dare you? I am a princess. You can’t speak to me like that I–” one again she was cut off, hearing the noise Harry had addressed moments before. “What was that?”

🌲 our muses go on a hike / explore the forest together // orion & athena

“ excuse me, m’lady, i don’t mean to intrude, but… would you mind if accompanied you on your walk in the woods ? ” 

@athenacharming​

Athena was stopped in her tracks by a polite voice. Excuse me. M’lady. Athena could faint. She spun to look at the owner of the polite tone and was now almost sure she'd pass out. He was gorgeous. “Oh?” she plastered on a smile– pull yourself together, Athena. “Well what kind of princess would I be to deny a gentleman of his company? Especially when he asked so nicely.”

☔️ our / one of our muses get caught in the rain

“Trust me- I’m resisting all urges to shake like a wet dog right now. I’m not sure I’m strong enough to resist.” Rowan commented, wet, dark hair covering her face in tangled strands. “You might want to wait ten before heading out there- especially when you only have a jacket on.”

@athenacharming​​

“Please don’t,” Athena practically snapped, looking down at her expensive jacket and back at the dripping girl. When advised not to go out there, the blonde let out an unenthused groan, “That’s incredibly inconvenient. I have errands to run. I didn’t see anything about it raining today? Stupid unreliable weather apps.”

“There’s also less fresh air and sunshine in the gym,” Bea pointed out lightheartedly. She smiled at the other over her shoulder. “I admit, the bugs are gross, but I promise at the end of this you’ll feel even better than you would have with a treadmill. Besides, the mosquitoes are less annoying than gym guys anyway.”

“While I told you I needed to get my steps in, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind,” Athena admitted as she trekked up after Bea. “I prefer a treadmill. There’s less bugs in the gym,” she complained, swatting a mosquito away as she spoke.

🤒 one of our muses is sick

“Hey.” Bryce announced, knocking softly on the door as he entered the others room with a sympathetic smile on his face, “How’re you doing- I brought you soup and managed to slip away from work for a little while. Really, you being sick is doing me a favour.” He teased, moving to sit on the edge of her bed, pressing the back of his hand to her forehead.

@athenacharming​

“Well I’m glad one of us–” sniffle, “–is enjoying themselves,” Athena grumbled from under the covers. “Soup is lovely, thank you Bry. You’re the best,” she added appreciatively. “What’s the diagnosis?” the blonde teased, looking to her brother’s hand on her forehead.

“Oh I don’t think so, living in the same home as your when you clomped about in those ridiculous heels of yours, it was the equivalent of living with a bull- in fact, a bull may have been quieter.” He continued to tease, knowing it would only wind his little sister up, but not being able to find it in him to stop. “Bring them to work next time instead of disposing them, I’m sure they’ll find better use there then in the trash.”

“You may not wear heels but you make plenty of noise to be a nuisance yourself,” Athena replied with a narrowed gaze. She seriously had to learn to set her feelings aside when her brother riled her up but she was too proud to let it go. Only making Bryce’s teasings more successful. “I’m not going to give you the satisfaction of telling you that you’re right, but I won’t exactly disagree with you on that point either.”

The first snow of the season had come, and Bea was making the most of it. She packed a snowball in her hands — tight enough to keep it together, but not so hard as to hurt — and launched it at her friend, giggling. Her laughter stopped, however, when the snowball whirled past her friend’s head and hit an innocent bystander. Her hands flew to her mouth as she gasped at what she’d done. “I’m sorry!” she called out to the person she had accidentally pelted, flush with embarrassment.

Feeling the impact on her neck, Athena swiveled around and pulled her scarf up to cover the part of her skin that had previously been bare. “Oh it is so on,” the blonde stated competitively, moving to scoop up a snowball herself and throw it in Bea’s direction.

“mmm, i wish i could say yes, but sometimes she’s not very-” valyn tapped the side of her head. “then again, we all have our moments i guess.”  she looked up suspiciously. “if you’re listening, i’m sorry,” she said to the ceiling like a crazy person.

“Oh?” she raised her brows in surprise. “But isn’t her whole schtick being smart?” Athena pressed curiously. Watching the other look up and apologize, the blonde couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh, “Must be tough having your relatives watch over you twenty-four seven. It would probably drive me crazy.”

“Oh I agree to disagree, I happen to be very graceful, you on the other hand resemble a bull in a china shop.” Bryce teased his little sister, moving to where the napkin dispenser was to clean up his hand. “So what do you do with it after you cleaned it- just, dispose? And here I thought you were going to try and be zero waste, or has that trend worn off quickly for you.”

“A bull in a china shop? You’ve got to get your eyes checked, brother dear,” she insisted, always falling into the trap no matter how many times Bryce teased her. “There are other ways to clean besides dry cleaning, but sometimes they need to be disposed of,” Athena admitted with a bit of a shrug. “The trend has not worn off on me, I can assure you. That said, I find myself being a little more wasteful that I would prefer to be.”

Gil blinked at the other and swallowed hard, trying to clear his mouth of food before he spoke. “We don’t have stuff like this on the Isle, I’m still getting used to it.”

Athena sighed at his response. She always felt a little bad coming at the VKs, unable to imagine how terrible life must’ve been on the Isle. The blonde knew there was no way she would’ve survived there. “Well you clearly didn’t have manners on the Isle either. But just like you’ve been subjected to food like this now that you’re in Auradon, hopefully proper etiquette will rub off on you too.”
