it’s early morning when louisa leaves the box by lexa’s door– she takes her time to place the presents perfectly in front of her sister’s room. the older girl places a note above it all, looks at it and smiles: she’s been planning it for a while now and it looks perfect. and then she leaves.

“ To my little sister.

Happy birthday to us. Today is the day we can take a deep breath and say we survived one more year. Especially when I know how rough it was the year we had. And, Lexa, I  must say, how incredbly proud I am of you. And how grateful I am for having you with me.

I hope you like your presents– I had a long search trying to find them. I see you a lot as Marianne in that book, you’ll see me as Elinor as well I’m sure. And I think you’ll like this necklace: it has a small pearl and it fits inside mine.

I’m not a fan of the date, but if you do wish to celebrate, I’d love to spend some time with you. I’ll be at the gym.

Have a lovely day, blue star. Happy birthday.

Louisa Pryde. ”

( The smaller one is Lexa’s. )

Lexa smiled softly at the presents her twin left her, pulling out her phone and shooting her a quick text.

Lexa: Thanks for the presents Nova, be on the lookout for yours.

[prydefulquill]

“I-i’m f-f-fine,” Lexa snapped, the words losing all edge that was intended thanks to the stutter.  "T-this s-s-stupid.“

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

Paige sensed the girl’s impatience and shrugged. “I thought the same thing when I was molting all over the place,” she thought out loud. “Actually I wasn’t thinking much at all.” She looked over the girl once, “You may be broken but at least your not shedding skin and looking like a creature from some sick 80′s sci-fi film.” She shrugged, knowing the whole ‘I had it worse than you’ game rarely worked, all she hoped for was an ironic laugh. 

[prydefulquill]

“I d-don’t s-s-see w-wh-why you w-want me t-to h-have a s-slot at t-th-the k-ki-kissing b-b-booth. N-no o-one will k-ki-kiss m-me.”

[prydefulquill]

Lexa nodded, she knew others were happy she was alive and saying that she should be happy too… but she wasn’t happy. She was stuck in the stupid chair for another montth or so, she no longer had any conttrol whatsoever ove her powers, and she couldn’t speak correctly anymore, and itt killed her that she couldn’t express herself like she used to, and she just wondered sometimes what it would be like had she not survived the explosion.

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

Paige watched the emotions flash across the girl’s face not because they were obvious but because they were familiar. Years ago she looked the same way. But she deteriorated on both the outside and the inside. “Hey, I cant say I know exactly what you’re going through. But I know what it’s like to not be in control…. it gets better…. it may take a while but I swear it does.” 

[prydefulquill]

"I-i'm f-f-fine," Lexa snapped, the words losing all edge that was intended thanks to the stutter.  "T-this s-s-stupid."

[prydefulquill]

Lexa sighed, “O-old s-sch-school. D-d-doom made b-boom.”

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

“That asshole,” Paige said linking together some of the past couple days. The call she got that the school was recruiting some teachers for better security and quicker teachings. The new campus…. she understood now. “My dear I am so sorry you got hurt, but at least your alive.” She said trying her best to sound reassuring but second guessing herself because what if other people had died in the explosion. 

[prydefulquill]

Lexa nodded, she knew others were happy she was alive and saying that she should be happy too... but she wasn't happy. She was stuck in the stupid chair for another montth or so, she no longer had any conttrol whatsoever ove her powers, and she couldn't speak correctly anymore, and itt killed her that she couldn't express herself like she used to, and she just wondered sometimes what it would be like had she not survived the explosion.

[prydefulquill]

Lexa nodded, “Y-you too.” She fiddled with the handle of her wheelchair, “E-e-explo-plosion

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

“Heavens! An explosion? Where? what happened?” Paige asked, now confused and concerned. Surely it was just a lab incident. 

[prydefulquill]

Lexa sighed, "O-old s-sch-school. D-d-doom made b-boom."

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

“Of course, Kitty,” Paige said nodding. She had met Kitty about Xaviers and later Jean Grey’s and Salem. “It’s very nice to meet you Lexa,” Paige said with a smile. “What happened, if you dont mind me asking?” she said looking at the girl’s cast. 

[prydefulquill]

Lexa nodded, “Y-you too.” She fiddled with the handle of her wheelchair, “E-e-explo-plosion

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

“It was alright, I think the novelty was what makes it seem so ‘cool’, Hi I’m Paige- er Ms. Guthrie… either or I guess.” She said offering her hand. 

[prydefulquill]

“My m-m-mom t-th-there. U-used to be. L-l-lexa Q-qu-quill.” Lexa said, raising her un-casted hand from where it was resting on the arm of her wheelchair.

[comfortable-in-my-own-skin]

“Hey not bad, might even be a step up from my Xavier days.” 

[prydefulquill]

“I d-don’t know. X-x-x-xavier c-co-cool.”

How does it feel to be an aunt?

“O-okay? I m-m-mean, g-g-good.”

[micosol]

“Bite Me” (Lexa... My hand slipped?)

Put “Bite Me” in my ask if your muse is sexually attracted to mine.

“… I will not bite you.” He said, “That would hurt you. Wait, there is another meaning to that phrase… Lexy?” He cocked his head and looked down at her with a confused gaze.  

[prydefulquill]

“It m-means f-f-find you a-at-attra-attractive, H-hen.” Lexa said with a slight blush painting her cheeks.

X_X (Henrik)

Whoever would attack a practically defenseless girl, in a wheelchair, is a huge ass coward. That was what was running through Lexa’s mind as she lay on the ground, pretty sure her arm was hurt worse, and bleeding from multiple cuts peppering her skin. She was trying to drag herself back to her tipped over wheelchair when she heard footsteps. She stopped and laid still as they came closer, her eyes only opening when she felt the familiar and comforting presence known as Henrik, “H-h-h-hen...”

“I wasn’t there for you when it happened, but I am here now. So please, let me help you. At least allow me to help you smile again.” He said stubbornly, “Come,” He said before walking a bit forward and stopping, waiting for her to start wheeling with him.

[prydefulquill]

“It ok H-hen.” Lexa said, but followed him anyway, catching up easily, as he had stopped to wait for her. “Thank you.” she struggled to get the words out without stuttering and grinned when she managed to do so, she didn’t want to stutter when she thanked him.

[micosol]

He nodded when she told him not to push. “I only wish I could have protected you.” He said before saying slowly. “Allow me to get you food.” Hoping that if he bought her something to eat it might help to make up for him not being there. 

[prydefulquill]

Lexa shook her head, it was’t his fault, “N-not f-f-fault H-hen.” She said, hoping he understood what she was saying. “D-don’t h-have to Hen.”

[micosol]

He looked her over and nodded. “Do you need me to push for you? I am… very sorry about your limbs, Lexy.” He apologized. 

[prydefulquill]

Lexa shook her head, “M-m-motorized, no p-p-push,” she said. She smiled at Hen, “It okay.”
