Yellow Box

it did sound like an interesting place from the bits jaina had learned of it, maybe not interesting enough to live there, but visiting sounded nice. though, to be fair, she had a hard time imagining life anywhere outside of coruscant, hell outside of her galaxy. yet here she was. the jedi listened along, her dark brows furrowing in slow recognition. the former mindset narcissa explained sounded eerily similar to most of the elitist families within the empire and first order. it was concerning for a moment, however, jaina’s concern faded the more she spoke. she’d done some questionable things in her youth too, the pull of the darkside was still something to this day she faced. she knew the line between right and wrong was all too easy to cross. ❝ i think we’ve all done some things we aren’t proud of. the important thing is learning from them. ❞ she knew the blonde had a good heart, she’d stared evil in the eyes more times than she could count and that was far from what she found in those mesmerizing blue eyes she could so easily drown in. ❝ i suppose it is something to be proud of. ❞ she agreed with a humorless chuckle. so far the skywalker curse had yet to claim her or maybe it had… there were undoubtedly fates worse than death. ❝ who me ?? never. ❞ she claimed in faux offense. smiling softly at her pouting, jaina pulled her into a kiss. ❝ better ?? ❞

It felt good to be free from that kind of a mindset. To not let it ruin everything around you, bring you down alongside it. Here she was nothing more than a normal human girl with some magical abilities. Here she could live the way she always wanted to live far away from all those minds filled with prejudice. Far away from her family who pushed away her cousin. Because if they had found out about her feelings for Jaina, a muggle in their eyes, they would have lost their minds. She would have fought for this though because Jaina, she saw her for her and not for the magic flowing through her veins. Nothing could ever compare to what they had. “We all make mistakes. How else will we grow?” Narcissa asked and shrugged as she looked at her girlfriend with a loving smile on her lips. “You may not feel like it. But one day you will be proud of how far you have come” that she was certain of. Feeling Jaina pull her in, she hummed and kissed her back. “Much better”

alucard hardly expected the answer she gave, it seemed human cruelty knew no bounds, regardless of time or space. he wondered if he should apologize for bringing it up or even changing the subject but trauma could never heal if it wasn’t addressed, or so he’d heard. ❝ i– i’m sorry, that sounds like a truly dreadful experience. that bridge shouldn’t be crossed. ❞ it was inhuman, though that didn’t need to be said to be known. he hoped it wasn’t something she could remember in great detail but her expression told him enough. as much as his memories of his mother pained him, he at least had them. ❝ you got through it, though. ❞ no one could take that from her.

Taking his hand into her own, she shook her head as a gentle smile formed on her lips. “There truly is no need for you to apologize. I am glad what happened did happen to me as it helped me grow. And it happened when I was just a baby” she assured him. Feeling her cheeks heat up when she heard his next statement, she nodded. “I sure did. And it was all thanks to my dad. Or well.. he is not my real dad but that doesn’t matter to me. He is more of a dad than my real one ever was”

it’d been a long time since anyone had fussed over him, it wasn’t something sam liked but with lou he could overlook it. there were a lot of things he was willing to overlook for the kid, or maybe she’d just changed him, made him a little less jaded. smiling softly, he shook his head. ❝ kid, after the sort of stuff we had to eat back home, i have a tough time believing any of this could cause harm.❞ times were tough back then but here ?? things were amazin’. ❝ which of it’s your favorite ?? ❞

Laughing softly when she heard his words, she nodded. “I guess you are right. But then again, I didn’t really need to eat much now did I?” she teased him gently. Meeting Sam had proved back home to be the best thing to ever happen the former BB. Now she was free with a father who loved her. What else could a young girl ask for? “I am quite obsessed with hamburgers”
