Stars-n-Fandoms

Hey all, last week Cindy put a part in Pokéshorts about writing a continuation of the following oneshot with our own characters, so I thought eh, why not.  It took me long tho bc for some reason this week I wasn't that motivated (and it's probably a bad idea posting a random chapter the day before I upload in The Fairy's Poison bc my notifications will be flooded but ehhh) but anyway.

Here's what she originally posted:

Lara watched in annoyance as Hadrian spared half a glance at the label before picking the box up roughly.She knew, just like he did, that this thing should be handled with care and caution, and struggling to hold it while his knees shook stronger than an earthquake is not what should be happening.Of course, that should be obvious, but her arrogant boyfriend, being the idiot that he is, decided that he was too great for instructions.He took half a step before the box, with the help of gravity and-disgustingly-sweat started slipping from his hands.

Okay not sure if the font looks different in post but in the writer editor whatever it's called the font looks different.  Very weird for me XD

Anyway, she said we can plug in our own characters so duh I'm doing Soulspace.  And yes, you can consider this canon, even though it's short haha. <3

"HELIUX!" Layra shouts, thrusting her hands forward.  However, Heliux, now more alert than ever, had already used his own magic to catch the box.  Said object now levitates magically in the air, the two fairies who almost dealt with the stress of the porcelain inside breaking now breathing heavily.

Boxes are scattered around the empty room of their temporary new house, they had gotten everything packed in the Colony before moving.  They'd decided a couple months ago that they would move away to have the baby, and Layra is now five months pregnant.  It was becoming a bit tiring having to cast illusion spells daily to hide her pregnancy from everyone, so they figured moving and taking a "vacation" (which somehow the Leaders bought as an excuse?) was better.

Although, Layra thinks indignantly, if Heliux is going to go stressing me out like this, it's going to be even more tiring!

"You need to hold those boxes properly!" she shouts at him while he slowly places the box on the floor.  "Are you trying to make me go in to labour right now!?"  

"I'm sorry."  His voice sounds shocked but apologetic.  "I was working on autopilot and the box just slipped."

"YOU NEED TO READ THE FUCKING DIRECTIONS ON THE BOX!" she shouts, paying no attention to his flinch.  He didn't have to deal with what had to have been the worst morning sickness in history, he didn't have to deal with not getting a good sleep because it was starting to get uncomfortable, he didn't have to deal with hiding a baby bump every day, she had every right to get angry at him, and she was very angry.  It didn't help that they'd both been working all day and they were both exhausted, her especially.

"Dear, I'm so-" Heliux's calm but flustered reply is of course cut off.

"If you can't hold a box," she hisses through gritted teeth, "how are you going to hold our baby!?"

Silence is the only sound as Layra realizes the impact of her words.  "Heliux, I-"

"No, you are right," he tells her.  Heliux walks over to his girlfriend and clasps her hands in his.  "But Layra I promise you that I'll get better, alright?  I'll work hard to become a better father."

She pauses, feeling a little bit stupid for her outburst.  "It's... just a box." 

Heliux stares at Layra blankly.  "But, you said-"

"I was upset."  Layra leans forward and kisses him on the cheek.  "But what you said was very sweet."

"Naturally."  He sweeps her off her feet and presses his forehead against hers.  "I love you so much, my Dear.  I can't wait to meet our Star."

"Their Star" was a codename they had come up for when they wanted to talk about the baby in public, but it sure was growing on them both.  "Me too," Layra sighs fondly, leaning her head upward for a kiss when a loud beeping sound interrupted her action.  That's when she smelled it, smoke.

Her arms are still wrapped around his neck as they both start to panic.  

"Did you take the pancakes off the pan?"

"I thought you did!"

"I THOUGHT YOU DID!"

"WELL NOW THEY'RE BURNING!"

A loud explosion-like sound is heard from the kitchen as the water that was boiling the hard-boiled eggs starts erupting like a volcano.  It's no mistake to say that having breakfast for dinner was surely not a good idea.

Heliux looks at Layra.

Layra looks at Heliux.

They smile.

They laugh.

Both of them definitely have a lot to learn.

~~~~~~~~~~

Okay for y'all wondering why Heliux and Layra forgot about the cooking stuff (because surely they're old enough to know??) think about it.  Do they cook for themselves on a daily basis?  No, the Colony has restaurants run by other fairies.  They eat there.  So yeah, for anyone wondering.

Also I hope you guys enjoyed that fluffy oneshot, it's definitely going to be different than the chapter coming tomorrow... stay tuned! :)
