You came back? (Mal and Alina)

that scene in siege and storm but it was Alina dreaming and none of it was real and mal just spends the night making out.

Warnings: kissing and brief S/A mentioning.

Mal had already left the room after we argued, and I had seen him again. I took a shaky breath and sat down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, I drifted off to sleep a minute later or so. Having no idea how I did so, my eyes feeling heavy but no longer after I closed my lids.

I heard a noise coming from the door as It opened, my eyes were still glued shut and I did feel asleep, at the same time I felt awake? I heard his voice as he rolled into bed and on top of me, mal. His hands going around me before his lips met mine and I sighed into the kiss. “I’ve missed you.” He said to me, his lips going back to mine in less than a second. My arms went around him, grabbing him closer. He started kissing down my neck and I’m still not sure if I had been awake or not, it all felt so weird. “Mal-“ I moaned, maybe wanting him to be close to me or maybe I wanted to make sure he’s really there. “Mal.” I said, louder this time. By instinct I looked up to his face, the tan washing off his pretty cheeks into a pale skin, his blue eyes turning to a muddy gray like a dark sky on a raining day, the soft brown of his hair fading to complete black and that’s when it hit me, I pushed him off of me and screamed as loud as I could, the room started shaking, sun erupting from my palms until I heard someone calling my name.

“Alina!” was what I’d heard before I was brought back awake, I quickly sat up. Gasping for a breath before I grabbed the blanket all the way up to my chest and sighed, mal’s hand was softly placed on my wrist. He realized I noticed it and he took it off. Remembering how I flinched earlier that he’d touched me, but it wasn’t about him. Saints, I wish he’d have kept his hand on my wrist.. maybe more than just on my wrist.

“Is everything okay?” Mal asked, gently. His voice almost a whisper not wanting me to freak out, I’ve noticed the door was open agape, and he’s lit a small candle by us.. seeing the way his blue eyes glittered from the light coming from it shining all the way down to his collarbones, covered by the white of his shirt, his army uniform. Yet a small hint of skin was exposed and I wanted to run my hand against it. I met his eyes and nodded. “Why did you come back?” I asked, I had to. I wanted to.. I didn’t think he would.. much of all have this nightmare.

“You were screaming.. it was loud enough for me to hear.” He said, keeping his hands to himself. I glanced at his hands then back up to his face and I gulped, nodding. “I’m fine.. just a nightmare.” I said, I often tell him my dreams.. but never the ones that I had about him, Most of all this was a nightmare.

I just realized he’d been sitting on the bed, the bed I dreamt he was kissing me in.. same lighting if not darker and it was like… deja vu. I wanted him to do it, I wanted him to kiss me. Maybe tell me he missed me and that he’d loved me, I wanted all of that. It’s not possible that he could read my mind.

It was awfully quiet before his eyes met me again. “..Do I really make you uncomfortable?” Mal spoke up, his gaze still fixed on me. I felt so exposed to him, in ways I couldn’t explain. “No.. it’s not- it’s not you.” I said, sighing. Placing my hands to my face as I took a deep breath, trying to make sense of it all, be honest with him. “It’s not you, mal.” I said, dropping my hands off my face a moment later and looking at him once more, our eyes locked again and I felt like my heart was erupting butterflies, there wasn’t a time where I never stared at mal. His eyes, his hair, his face. The way he’s so much taller than me that I needed to look up at him, the way he’d hold my hands and make me feel safe, the way his hair feels underneath my fingers and how his voice sounds when he says my name. It was killing me, I felt like my heart was going to explode.

He sighed and looked away, not responding to what I had said earlier. Now I know why he wasn’t making the first move, he was afraid I might push him off or flinch if he touched me again. I slowly reached out for his hand, maybe this will make him know I wanted him to touch me, I wanted him near me. I swiftly grasped his hand into my own and intertwined our fingers, his breath hitched enough for me to hear it. “Don’t look away from me, mal.” I said, looking him in the eyes.

His other hand went to my face, stroking my cheek gently. I leaned into his touch before his lips met mine, he kissed me so gently. Afraid that I would break, I grabbed him closer to me.. close enough that he’s on top of me now. His strong grip went around my waist with his Free hand before his lips slid further to mark kisses down my neck, my throat and my chest. I arched my back before we heard a noise behind the door and he started shushing me, holding a finger up to my mouth.

“We shouldn’t do this now.” Mal said and I agreed, he gently slid next to me on bed. Wrapping a hand around me, keeping me safe. We talked about everything and nothing, giggled into each other’s arms. His hand was tangled into my hair before I leaned my head into his chest, mal placing a sweet kiss on my forehead as we both drifted off to sleep, feeling safer than ever now that he’s beside me.

I would love to have Mal narrate the entire Shadow and Bone trilogy, don't you agree? 🤓📚🙏🏼

"I've loved you since we were kids."

Conrad Fisher

Your heart plummeted in your chest at the sight of Conrad kissing another girl.

You knew sneaking out to the party with your sister Belly wasn’t the best idea, but you were sick of always being in the house even though you cherished all the movie nights with your mom, Belly, and Susannah you’ve had through the years. You just wanted one good night out of the house this summer but seeing Conrad with another girl ruined that plan.

“You look like you could use a drink,” Jeremiah says from behind you. You don’t look back at him until Conrad and the strange girl finally break apart. Conrad looks around the party before his eyes land on you making you quickly turn around to face Jeremiah instead.

“Thanks Jere,” You say taking the drink from him. You could feel Conrad staring at the both of you, but you ignore it and focus on the harsh burning in your throat as you finish off your drink quickly.

“Easy there,” Jeremiah laughs before slinging his arm around your shoulder. “What’s got you so bummed out?”

“Just a little upset that Belly ditched me when we got here,” you lie. You were the one who gave Belly the okay to leave you alone when a boy she knew came up to her and wanted to talk. He was cute and you couldn’t help the small smile on your face when you looked at her laughing in the sand with him.

Jeremiah sighs, squeezing your shoulder lightly. “You’re even more a shitty liar than you are at keeping your feelings for Conrad a secret.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” you say rolling your eyes. Everyone knew about your crush on Conrad. You were pretty sure even Conrad knew. But you never admitted it outside to anyone other than Belly. You two shared everything with each other.

“Bullshit. I watched you mentally beat the shit out of Nicole in your head for like five minutes before you realized I was talking to you.” Jeremiah says smirking.

"Don't you have someone else to bother?" you smile at him, so he knows you're just joking. Nicole. Even her name caused a dull ache in the pit of your stomach.

He smiles back. "None of them is as fun as you, y/n." he lets go of your shoulder. "Let's get you something else to drink. Just go a little easy, please? Our moms will kill us."

You nod your head and laugh. "I will, I promise."

That was such a lie.

You were four more drinks in when Jeremiah started flirting with a blonde and leaving you behind. You felt warm and fuzzy. You noticed Conrad still stealing glances at you which made your heart flutter each time you caught him. You were pouring yourself a fifth cup when you felt a presence behind you.

"What do you think you're doing, y/n?" Conrads's voice fills your ears as he snatches the cup away from you. You yelp and try to grab the cup back, but he raises the drink above his head so you couldn't reach. "you've had too much already, you're done for the night."

"Oh, is that so?" you ask, reaching up for your drink again. You stumble trying to grab it, but Conrad quickly catches you.

"Jesus Christ, are you okay? he asks as he helps you stand correctly.

"I'm greattttt." you giggle. "Tonight is great. Belly is with a cute guy, Jeremiah is flirting with half the town, and you're kissing red sox girl while I am standing here drinking by myself watching you kiss her. She looks like a real - a real catch. Congrats." you vent, tears filling your eyes. This isn't how you wanted tonight to go.

"How about we find Jeremiah and Belly and we all go home, okay? Conrad asks ignoring everything you just said. You quickly wipe a falling tear off your cheek and shake your head.

"I don't want to go. I haven't gotten to have fun yet." you whine. He grabs your arm, trying to get you to follow him.

"Let go of me!" you shout a little too harshly grabbing a guy's attention that was getting himself a beer. He was standing next to Conrad, but you could still smell the alcohol on him.

"This dude bothering you?" the guy ask staring at Conrad's hand still on my arm. you suddenly felt sober and embarrassed for causing a scene.

"No, he's not" you say quietly. You were uncomfortable and just wanted to go home. You look around and notice a few people were watching which embarrassed you even more.

"Why don't you come party with me instead of this loser? the guy asks, coming closer towards me. Conrad gently shoves me behind him.

"Why don't you fuck off?" Conrad snaps at the dude. You place your hand on Conrad's chest, trying to calm him down.

"Hey, you're right we should just go." you say to him. He glances down at you and nods before grabbing your hand.

"Yeah, listen to your little girlfriend before you get fucked up." the guy says laughing. You feel Conrad's grip on your hand tighten as you two ignore the guy and leave to go find everyone.

You find Jeremiah first who decides to give Conrad the keys so you both could wait in the car while he goes to find Steven and Belly. Conrad helps you carefully into the backseat before getting in next to you.

"Are you okay? you ask him, leaning your head against his shoulder. You could hear his breathing hitch in his throat when you do this. You normally would never be brave enough to ever touch him like this if it wasn't for the alcohol.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Conrad replies, looking down at me. "I shouldn't have let you drink."

"I'm the one who wanted to drink, you didn't let me do anything." you say, hugging yourself. You were freezing which Conrad seemed to notice as he carefully lifts your head off of him and gives you his sweater.

"I watched how much you were drinking; I should have stopped you." he leans back so you could put your head back on him after you were done putting the hoodie on.

"Why were you watching me for? you ask, blushing at the thought. You knew he was but didn't think he would admit it.

"I think you know why." You watch Conrad sigh and close his eyes. "I've loved you since we were kids."

All of a sudden you could hardly breathe. Was hallucinations part of being drunk? You couldn't believe Conrad just said that.

"Are you drunk too? you ask after a moment of silence. Conrad laughs and shakes his head no.

"Not as drunk as you are. Is that all you're going to say? he asks, his eyes still closed. He's tapping his fingers lightly on my thigh. He's nervous.

"What about Nicole? you ask, leaning your head off of him. This finally makes him open his eyes and he moves to face you.

"Her and I aren't together, y/n. I just want you." he says cupping your face.

"I want you too." you say leaning closer to his face. Your lips are just inches away.

"you're the only boy I've ever loved." and with that, he moves the rest of the way and kisses you gently. It was everything you ever thought it would be and more.

Tonight was the first good night of many that summer.

[bellyfisher]

for those that need to be told instead of critically thinking:

its not called “the summer i turned pretty” because suddenly these boys are falling all over her. like conrad, jere, AND cam cameron talk about liking her before this Specific Summer. its about Belly’s growth and coming into herself. but when you’re 15 you aren’t thinking in terms of “oh i grew up this summer” its in terms of how you THINK others perceive you. Belly never perceived herself as pretty until now which is why thats how she describes it. Not because she suddenly did turn pretty, she always was to the boys who noticed her
