Lil and Red

Little one, lie with me. Sew your heart to my sleeve. We'll stay quiet, underneath shooting stars If it helps you sleep.  And I lie if I don't feel so right... But the world looks better; through your eyes.

Ethan couldn’t help the smile that twitched onto his lips at her words, “I missed you too,” he mumbled back, “It was alright. Awkward but alright. Did you?” He asked, his voice softening to match hers, almost whispering. It was peaceful and it was nice to have that after the chaos of Christmas that visiting his family brought. It was much nicer being with her.

Lucy smiled back at him, traces of happiness returning to her the longer she spent with him. “You did?” She asked quietly as they moved to the music. “Why was it awkward? And I... I don’t really want to think about it..” She mumbled quietly, just resting her head on his chest. It was good he was so much taller, she could hide her face and he couldn’t see the sadness there.

“She’s pretty stubborn so I’m not sure, but don’t worry Luce. I’m going to keep trying. She has to listen to me eventually right?” He flashed her a teasing wink. “Well… because for one thing I’m not sure she wants to and for another… I haven’t been the best at dating in the past. Kind of don’t know if I want to ruin a good friendship with something that might not work out anyway.”

“I think she will, when she realizes how smart you are then she’ll definitely believe you, right?” Lucy asked with a convinced grin. The red head rolled her eyes a little. “I take it back, you aren’t THAT clever,” she teased playfully. “Oh you’re so silly, I’m sure she does. Do you want me to ask for you? Oh! Or I could help you practice. I’ll be Tess, you be you. Show me how you would!” She said excited, pulling him off to one side, dancing less important now. She wanted to see him happy, her logic was that this was the solution.

“How are you tonight?” she questions smiling brightly at the redheaded girl. 

“I don’t wanna talk about it,” she said, her voice surprisingly happy for her words, but it was true. She didn’t want to have to think about it tonight. “How are you?”

Feeling her arms around him, Ethan felt a smile pull at his lips. “I’m back. Miss me?” He asked. His voice was soft, almost sobering at the sound of her voice. When she nodded, he got a new smile and nodded back, “Alright.” He gently moved his hand from hers to her waist, listening to the music for a moment to move in time to it.

Lucy nodded slightly at his question. She had, so much. After everything that’d happened, she was glad she had him back by her side. “A lot. Did you have a good Christmas?” She asked him quietly, liking the slowness and peacefulness of everything. The music and people around them weren’t shouting so much anymore, and it just felt... Better.

Liam had never really cared about people staring and he certainly didn’t now when his actions were making his friend smile, “She is nice, though sometimes she thinks she isn’t, which is just ridiculous. Well… to tell you the truth Luce, I don’t know. I haven’t really worked that out yet.”

Lucy listened and furrowed her eyebrows a little as he said this. That didn’t sound very good. “That does sound very ridiculous. Is there any way you can get her to see she is a nice person?” She asked, sad for her friend’s situation. “But don’t you want to date her?” She asked confused. Surely if he did, he could just ask.

[lil-red-lucy]

benditlike-liam:

“Well if you want Silly I can be silly,” He chuckled, upping his awful dancing just a notch in order to maximize his silly potential, “Who? Tesla? She is pretty isn’t she? And yes…. She is that girl.” 

“Yay!” She giggled happily, spinning around a load as they both danced in a silly way. People were staring but she didn’t notice or care, she felt... Happy. It was nice. “That’s it! I spoke to her before, she’s really nice, I like her hehe. Very pretty, yeah. Oh good! I was hoping she was aha. When are you gonna ask her out?”

[lil-red-lucy]

benditlike-liam:

“It is isn’t it! How dare I be that silly,” Liam shook his head, chuckling to himself as he continued to dance around with her. HIs movements were a little more silly than he usually would, but it was fun, and Lucy was having fun so that’s what mattered.

“No! I like silly, I need some silly now,” she said thoughtfully as she twirled around, and laughed with him at their awful dance moves. “I saw the girl you were with, she’s so pretty! Is that the one you like?” She asked him over the music.

[lil-red-lucy]

singerchasity:

Chasity found her way on the dance floor and saw the girl with a smile on her face making her happy considering she knew that she had it rough for a while. “Hey, there Lucy.” 

“Hiya!” She greeted, having to shout a little over the music.

[lil-red-lucy]

underthelights-ethan:

If one were to ask, Ethan would admit he had drunk a little, but enough to keep himself straight. However, the alcohol brought out his confident side and so plucking up his courage, he wandered over to Lucy and took her hand, “Can I steal a dance?”

She spun to face whoever had taken her hand, and when she saw who it was, she wrapped her arms around him in an instant. “You’re back...” She breathed happily. After a long while, she pulled away to look at him, before nodding. She wanted to dance, one last happy moment before she told him at least.

He grins–boyishly, then. “Hey, baby girl. “ Mutters Preston playfully. His cheeky tone mixed within. When she questions him, he removes his gaze for a fraction of a second, grin growing as he rushes his hand past his mouth. “Wanted to see how my fav red head’s doing.”

Lucy stepped back one or two paces, out of his touch but able to face him still. “How I’m d-doing?” She choked out, her face instantly covered with the sadness she’d been trying to forget. “My sister died. My twin! While you were gone. You can’t... You can’t just show up here and expect me to j-just run into your arms because you weren’t here when I needed someone, anyone to be.”

[lil-red-lucy]

benditlike-liam:

“Well how can I ignore a request like that,” Liam replied with a wide, warm grin, “You know that my favourite thing to do is dance.”

“I do know that, it’s your major silly!!” She called over the music, and twirling on the spot again, she danced with him now. It felt good to move around so much now.

[lil-red-lucy]

benditlike-liam:

Liam couldn’t help but grin when he saw Lucy seeming to have a bit of fun. When she didn’t seem to notice his voice the first time, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder, “Hey Luce.”

The hand made her start, but seeing it was her best friend she smiled widely, and kept dancing, tugging his hands to get him to join in. “Hiiiiii! Come dance with meeeeeeee!”

[lil-red-lucy]

eternxlheartbreaker:

Gasping at the hug, she turned around to see a familiar smirk. “Preston?” She asked confused. “W-What... What are you d-doing here?”

[lil-red-lucy]

She was dancing with herself, wearing Evelyn’s heels and finally starting to smile properly for the first time since the funeral. When someone spoke to her she barely noticed.

[lil-red-lucy]

aubreexxrockefeller:

She moves–long heels clashing against the pavement. And she bats her lashes, watching beneath them. Such innocence grazing upon. Her frame just scarcely covered within a spacey outfit. As if though she doesn’t care for the dress code. It doesn’t matter. She draws herself near casually. Letting her twisted tongue drip with words. “S’cuse me? But I think you’re suppose to offer me a drink.”

[lil-red-lucy]

musiciancarson:

The news about one of the Rockfeller’s sister had gone around the whole school and Carson didn’t person know them, but he felt bad for the loss of a person. Seeing the redhead by the stairs, he walked over to her looking down at the girl. “Hey.” he says as he sits besides her. “How you feeling?” 

Lucy recognized him a little, she’d seen him around somewhere a few times but she didn’t know him, or even his name. She shrugged, and looked up at him. “I’m not sure how to answer that,” she admitted honestly.

[lil-red-lucy]

benditlike-liam:

“Well..” Liam frowned for a moment, trying to think of the best way to say that her one memory of her sister being nice was a memory of her giving bad advice, “I think I get what she meant but… Sometimes we need other people to see us cry so we feel better later. So… why don’t you cry for me if you really want to, and then I won’t tell anyone and you won’t tell anyone and it’ll just be our secret.”

Lucy thought about this a little. She trusted Liam, she really did, but she couldn’t cry just yet. In the end she just shrugged a little and whispered. “Can you just hold me please?” She needed that more. Comfort of some kind. She felt so guilty that she hadn’t managed to get close to her sister in time, she felt like... It was her fault she didn’t know it’d happened when it did. And she was angry, oh so angry that Evelyn hadn’t even tried. Why couldn’t she? Didn’t she understand how much everyone needed her in their own ways?
