Everett was grateful for the beauty of the town itself. It made the walk to the date all the more romantic which worked in his favour. If they’d lived in a city, he doubted it would have been as nice, or as quiet and peaceful as it was now. Besides, they probably wouldn’t be walking to where they needed to go if they lived in a city.

Laughing, Everett jokingly replied, “I don’t whether or not I should take offence to that comment,” He smiled at her as she asked if they were almost there once more and then stopped in front of the local coffee shop. Their coffee shop. It was closed, or rather it appeared to be that way given that all the lights were off and there wasn’t anyone inside, “We’re here.”

“The coffee shop?” Beverly said with a brow raised. “That’s actually an adorable idea -- but it’s closed, Ev. We’ll have to go somewhere else,” she said. And she was right. The place looked empty as it did every night -- house lights shut off, the closed sign pressed against the front door’s window and from what she could make out through the darkness, the chairs turned upside-down on the tables.

She squeezed his hand tightly for a moment, “Don’t get discouraged. There’s a ton of places nearby that I’m sure are still open. We can come here for coffee in the morning like we always do,” Bev said, realizing Everett wasn’t budging. This really was the place he meant, wasn’t it? “I’m sorry... what do you mean we’re here?”

“You fairies take the fun out of everything,” Adeline muttered with a roll of her eyes as she wiped down the counter before the girl returned, “Whatever helps you sleep at night, my dear,” She replied, “Now can I get you a drink or are you gonna just sit there?”

“It’s like we’re unofficial doctors or something,” Bev mused, “We have this unspoken oath -- or need, I guess -- to help people. I have the power to heal, so I only felt it was right to help him.” The brunette held up her glass with a little shake, “I’ve still got this to finish but get back to me when I do. I might just take you up on that offer.”

“Oh no, please,” Victoria said, gesturing to the seats in the room, “Feel free, I don’t mind at all.”

“Well then I would love to join you,” Beverly smiled, sitting down in one of the seats she had gestured to.

Clary then held out the dress once more. “Then better be safe than sorry.”

“You really think so?” Beverly asked, reaching out to hold the skirt of the dress, her thumb running mindless circles on the fabric.

“What if we’re late for class?” Avalon questioned, worried, though she could go for another cup of coffee even though she already had one that morning.

“I haven’t been late for a lesson in my life, Ava. It’ll be fine. Trust me.”

avalonxrichards:

“Wait, where are we going?”

“Coffee run, Ava. I can’t function without my fill of caffeine in the morning.”

“Where are you going again for this date?”

“No clue. All he said was that it’s a surprise.”

“They don’t think women will fight back. Those blokes obviously haven’t had their ass handed to them before by a woman. – But something that doesn’t even get through their stupid skulls.” 

“Women kick ass. And they’d be surprised just how many things they can do that we can do better.”

Clary picked up the dress from the bed again. “What about this? It was like hidden in the back of your closet.”

“Oh no I-- I couldn’t wear that. Wouldn’t it be too much for a first date?” Beverly said, although she did really love the dress.

“Isn’t me being a tease one of the reasons you agreed to go out with me?” Everett joked as he nudged her playfully before turning serious, “I promise you won’t have to wait long. Only a few minutes more,” He looked over at her with a grin. He remembered many a time when he had looked at her without her noticing. When he had admired her from afar while being so close to her.

Everett laughed, “You do like to remind me of my flare for the dramatics,” He teased, “But I’m glad you think so. It decreases the likelihood of me screwing this up,” He sounded as though he was joking but over the years, he’d become very good at hiding his vulnerabilities. Even from Beverly most of the time. Although he knew she’d learnt some of the signs. Hopefully she didn’t notice this time around.

“Maybe, maybe not,” Beverly teased back. “Well that’s a relief,” she added. But what helped the time pass by faster was how enjoyable their walk was. The weather was indeed nicer and Everett had chosen a pretty scenic route. To where she wasn’t sure, but she was still enjoying it all the same.

She nodded with a giggle, “I do. You’re the biggest drama queen I know.” Obviously Bev was teasing. “So, are we almost there?” she asked. She didn’t mean to sound impatient, her curiosity was just overwhelming her thoughts at the moment.

“It’s no bother at all. I think you’re looking for next door but I’m afraid the professor isn’t in at the moment. You’re welcome to wait here until they return.”

“Are you sure?” Beverly asked, feeling bad for intruding on the professor. “I wouldn’t want to distract you from your paperwork,” she added, gesturing to the contents on the desk before her.

Adeline rolled her eyes at the girl’s response. She wasn’t the first to be annoyed by her own mention of immortality, “He’s a regular here. It a minute or two, he’ll leave and be drunk somewhere else. Trust me, it’s better to let him finish up and then clean up his mess. If I try and escort him out now, it’ll just get messier.”

“Well I’m going to help him,” Beverly said, her tone determined. She walked up to the man who was hunched over in the corner. She talked calmly to the man, explaining how she would heal him so the vomiting and nausea would stop. Using her magic, she healed him and the man was less pale in the face. He stood up straighter, muttered a thanks and stalked off. Probably to get drunk at the other place the bartender had mentioned. Beverly returned to her seat where she still had a drink to finish. “That made me feel better.”

Hearing a knock on the door, Victoria said, not looking up from her papers, “Come in.”

“Oh I’m so sorry to bother you, I was looking for the History of Fairies professor.”

Everett nodded and waited for her to return to the door. He thought for a moment that he should follow her inside but he decided against it. They had to be at their destination in ten minutes and if they went inside, they might end up being late. Maybe they wouldn’t but he didn’t risk it. He had a lot riding on being on time to this. Not only to have the perfect date with Beverly but also, the particular date he had planned was sort of on a schedule.

Grinning as they started walking, Everett shook his head, “I’m not gonna tell you. You’ll just have to wait and see,” He shifted closer to her, partly for warmth and partly just to be closer to her, “But I promise you’ll love it. I think I might have gone a little bit over the top but I guess you can be the judge of that.”

“Tease,” she said as Everett told her that he couldn’t say where they were headed. As much as Beverly loved surprises, she was also incredibly impatient when they knew they were coming. “But alright, alright. I’m sure I will,” she smiled, following Everett’s lead and making sure the two were walking closely side by side as their linked arms swung a little.

Beverly let her head roll back slightly with a chuckle. “If anyone can go over the top on a first date and pull it off somehow, it’s you Ev. If anybody else did the same, it’d most likely make them look like a total try hard,” she mused.

“He was driving past me and was whistling at me and trying to get me into his car. When I refused he started screaming at me and tried to drive off. – I got him to pull over and well you know the rest of the story.” 

“He’s disgusting,” Beverly said. “Why do some men think it’s alright to treat women like objects? They only like us when it’s convenient for them. It’s horrible really.”

Adeline laughed, “Oh no, I was saying I’ve seen people who are worse at handling their drink. I’ve been a bartender at Avondale for almost a century, of course I have,” She paused, “And besides, I’ve been alive much longer than that. I’ve seen worse battles than that of the First World War.”

“Well good for you,” Beverly said. She always found a vampire’s bragging to be annoying. “So you’re not going to help him?”

“Well, it is the weekend.” He mumbled. “Schools tend to do that when there aren’t any students around.” 

“Sometimes it’s open in the mornings for extracurriculars but it seems like there aren’t any this weekend,” she said almost to herself, ignoring Adrian’s tone.
