Two Spells, One Mistake
Chapter 37: Magician's Trick Chest Coveted by the Wind
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTrinity groans and shuffles slightly as she snuggles up to the warmth beside her which groans in protest to the movement. That protest only grows as an alarm clock beside the bed goes off. The offending item is roughly turned off by a dark purple aura before the warmth beside Trinity hugs her closer while yawning.
"You realise Trinity has a show this evening that she must perform, yes?" Trinity asks the entity beneath her quilt.
"Mhmm... Nope... I know no such thing..." A girl mumbles just loud enough to hear.
"Well, regardless Trinity shall attempt to procure our breakfast," Trinity looks at her clock saying it's 2:30 pm. "Or perhaps lunch would be more accurate..."
"That's brunch, Trinity... It is a thing." The girl comments groaning.
"I suppose for some people. Either way, I'm going to need my body back if I am to get us any food." Trinity states before being able to stand up and stretch beside the bed which is bolted to the floor.
Trinity herself is also naked but doesn't get much reprieve as she is soon yanked back into bed by the same purple aura. Wrapping her arms tightly around her waist she nuzzles Trinity's back softly.
"Not yet... I don't need food at this moment..." The girl states muffled by Trinity's back.
"Lucita..?" Trinity glances behind her at the now revealed face of her girlfriend.
"Please... I need my rock more than my stomach needs food..." Lucita nuzzles Trinity's back hard and hugs her tightly.
"Luci..." Trinity gets comfortable and manages to hold Lucita's right hand tightly with her left. "With all the preparation for the show last night, among other things... I almost forgot it's this month, isn't it?"
Trinity feels Lucita nod against her soft back making her sigh ever so slightly.
"Yeah... It is." Lucita states with a shaky tone.
Trinity holds her girlfriend's hand tightly and keeps her breathing steady despite not really knowing how to handle the situation. Lucita's head rested softly against her back, the girl in question finding comfort in her lover's heartbeat.
"Trinity has never really been good with deep emotions as you know... Took us long enough to figure that out before I could convey how I felt... But it's also because of this that I have no idea how to help ease your pain..." Trinity sighs deeply as she stares at the wall of her wagon in front of her.
"I know... You didn't have to deal with me like this last year... I'm sorry." Lucita states sighing as the pair entwine their legs together.
"Trinity should be the one apologising as she feels that she could do more but doesn't know what..." Trinity glances back at Lucita before getting comfortable again to stare back at the wall of her wagon.
"Trinity does plenty, trust me." Lucita kisses Trinity's back before nuzzling it gently.
"Besides being better than any sleeping tablet ever was?" Trinity comments making Lucita laugh and chokes lightly.
Taking a moment to regain herself and wipe the tear from her eye she sighs lightly.
"Yes, Trinity, besides being far better than any sleeping tablet ever was. The best acidental night of my life by far wouldn't you say?" Lucita asks turning Trinity to lay on her back so she can use her ample chest as improvised pillows.
"I seem to vaguely recall that we'd been throwing insults back and forth over multiple bottles of your favourite fruit punch for hours. It was after this we stumbled back to my wagon." Trinity continues as she adjusts to keep hold of Lucita's hand.
"Mhmm and used my stash to get drunker and have sex many many times... Remind me how the start of that decline went again?" Lucita asks shuffling close to Trinity.
"Hmm, well you stole my fruit punch after I got back from the bathroom... It got pretty fast from there." Trinity chuckles as she snakes her right hand around Lucita to stroke her hair.
"I vaguely recall a back and forth match of insults before making out and blah blah..." Lucita half continues the story before leaning up to deeply kiss and make out with her girlfriend.
The pair lay close together content to simply dance with their tongues in sweet bliss rather than wrestle each other like they did last night. After several moments and minutes pass they reluctantly part and cuddle again.
"Now we just skip straight to the making out, saves a lot of time." Trinity chuckles and kisses Lucita again.
"Heh, yeah. See you do help more than you realise." Lucita smiles and lays her head back down on Trinity's chest.
"I'm happy if you're feeling better, can Trinity get up now and get that food?" Trinity asks before Lucita's stomach growls making her cough.
"Yeah, okay... I want food now." Lucita admits letting go of Trinity so she can get up.
Lucita wraps herself up warmly in the soft thick quilt as she watches Trinity walk across the wagon. 'Least I have the best view in Kilgharah every morning', Lucita thinks to herself before getting comfortable again.
Alexander sighs as he leans back in his seat on the third floor of the mock spectator stands, which have been set up in front of a stage halfway between Wyvern House and the student village. Either side of his stand are two more of equal size which gradually fill with various students. The stand he is currently sitting on remains bare besides the bottom seats and some of the second-floor seats, the third-floor rows remain empty save for himself.
"Heads up, grumpy!" A female voice states making Alexander look down from the sky.
The man's vision was quickly being filled by a speeding bottle heading in his direction. Realising a little too late the bottle in question smacks Alexander in the face before bouncing off to land in his left hand, which isn't covering his face at the moment.
"Mother fucking piece of shit! Dear god fucking why?!" Alexander yells and groans holding his face.
"Hmm, maybe I should give thought to joining the Kilgharah Blaze Ball team as their pitcher." The all too familiar voice of his sister states before he feels them sit beside him.
"You're such a bitch!" Alexander blinks several times and manages to shuffle the pain slightly enough to look next to him.
"I know, but what can you do?" Lucita states before popping the top of her bottle of cinder fruit punch.
"To be honest I'm surprised with the lack of disturbances I've not heard about since yesterday. You've been good so far it seems." Alexander comments opening his bottle and taking a heavy swig.
"'Good'? You and I have very different definitions of that word dear brother." Lucita chuckles taking her own mouthful.
"You know what I mean... You've been quite different since you started dating Trinity. That shows, especially now." Alexander comments as he looks at the stage where the before mentioned girl is setting up her show.
"Pfft... I guess... What's your excuse? The weather forecast doesn't seem to be all over the place this year." Lucita remarks with a smirk.
Alexander takes another sip remaining quiet for a moment while he thinks about his response.
"Good question... Don't suppose I have an excuse if I'm honest." Alexander looks up at the sky.
"Seems I'm not the only one who is 'behaving' for someone special." Lucita states taking an especially heavy swig of her bottle.
"Am I..? You and I are known for being wildcards. The king and queen of misfits... Our brother is the most behaved one out of the three of us." Alexander sighs as he easily gets halfway down his bottle.
"They make these things too small don't they? I'll have to order some of those XL ones they do to prepare for the Christmas season." Lucita laughs lightly.
"Jesus Christ, don't even go there. We're still in October for fuck sake." Alexander coughs slightly and takes another mouthful.
"Seriously though... It's unlike either of us to be so," Lucita thinks for several seconds about what word to use.
"Tame?" Alexander states making her nod.
"Yeah... We can both be sure it's not our own doing. Wanna tell your sister what had you looking like such a depressing fuck before I came up here?" Lucita asks making Alexander coughs again.
"It's nothing-" Alexander is cut off.
"Bullshit." Lucita blocks him instantly.
"Fine," Alexander sighs deeply. "Just having some issues with some things up here..." Alexander taps his head with his bottle.
"Do you like her?" Lucita states bluntly before finishing her bottle.
"For fuck sake, what is it with you and Vivi both thinking it's a girl?" Alexander states in protest.
"Because it's you, dear brother... Well?" Lucita presses him.
"Well, what?" Alexander shrugs.
"You fucking idiot... Do you like her?" Lucita deadpans, looking very unamused.
"I guess, yes?" Alexander finishes his bottle shortly after.
"Jesus Christ, you're hard fucking work... Does she like you?" Lucita continues to prompt her brother.
"Maybe?" Alexander replies unsure.
"Fuck it, go for it." Lucita states bluntly.
"It's not that simple you sex-crazed nymph." Alexander rubs the bridge of his nose.
"I deny nothing. Most times it is that simple, stop being such a hung up pussy." Lucita stands up before stretching.
"Fuck you." Alexander comments looking away with a sigh.
"I bet you fifty gold that Vivienne will tell you exactly the same thing I just have. There is no point dwelling on it, you might as well take the plunge and go along with the current." Lucita looks at her bottle depressed before throwing it into a bin at the bottom of the stand.
"Nice... Besides, don't you think we're four arcs too early for a romance to develop for one of the main protagonists?" Alexander asks earning him a 'really' look from his sister.
"Hell no, it's never too early for a little romance. Don't even give me that bullshit, 'but it's a Halloween arc', fuck off." Lucita stands with one hand on her hip.
"Yeah, yeah... I'll think about it." Alexander puts his bottle down beside him.
"Don't think too much, brother. Otherwise, the opportunity will pass you by. Anyway, I gotta go help Trinity finish setting up." Lucita waves as she walks down the stairs.
"Psh... 'Don't think too much' she says... Like I have a fucking choice..." Alexander sighs deeply before leaning back to look up at the sky again.
Next Chapter: The Magic of Shipping Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 9 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
That fourth wall has gotta hate me right now. This chapter was mainly focused on Lucita to show people that she has another side to her alongside the bitch she is the majority of the time. The other half of the chapter slightly diverged from this but not by much showing how she and Alexander interact without their facade. All round I thought it was a good chapter concept and hope everyone looks forward to the next one.
