Clerk Carmine almost can't believe it. Only the fact that he's holding onto her, clinging on so tight, is proof to him that he isn't dreaming. Tears spill down his cheeks, and for once the twelve year old doesn't even try to hide them. He's missed her so much, they all have, all fearful that she might truly be lost to them. But here she is, warm and breathing and alive and he doesn't want to let go ever again, in case she disappears. Losing Billy Taupe had been crushing for the younger Clade, but losing her so closely after had been near crippling.
"They're back in the house...came out 'cause I wanted to be alone...." Tensions have admittedly been a little higher than normal, and he's taken to sometimes just coming out to the meadow, to just lie there amongst the grass and think. CC hugs her again, looking a little confused at her words, head tilting. "What do you mean, Lucy Gray? What happened?"
lucy gray hugged clerk carmine tight, fingers running through his hair as she silently thanked the stars that she was alive and back with her family. ❝ he lied to me. straight to my face. i ran as fast as i could, found a place to hide for a while 'til i knew he was good and gone. coriolanus-- he can't be trusted. i don't know where he went, but if he tries to come back, we can't let him in. ❞ her voice was shaky, not with sadness or fear, but with anger. lucy gray had opened up to coriolanus, told him how trust was the one thing she valued more than anything, yet he lied straight to her face with a smile. ❝ i'm sorry, cc, for leaving. the mayor was going to blame me for mayfair and billy taupe, so i had to go, but i'm here now. i'll stay here as long as i can without getting caught, but i need you all to keep my secret. nobody but us covey folk can know that i'm here, okay ? ❞
"Well, I am happy you get to experience it. You deserved that a long time ago." Coriolanus portrays a sweet smile, finding it his obligation to keep being talented in being the superior boyfriend. "Because, I..." Genuinely stumped, shying up in the middle of answering, obviously there was some real feelings on why she captivated him so much but he didn't realize one day he'd have to confess to them, "because you're different, Lucy Gray. There's something special about you." Blues flicker up to find her doe eyes, smiling softly. "I'm surprised you don't see why."
lucy gray couldn't help the blush that spread across her cheeks at coryo's words, a grin tugging at the corners of her lips. ❝ there's something special about you, too, darlin'. you certainly know how to treat a girl right. ❞ lucy gray told him truthfully, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. ❝ maybe fate brought us together. maybe i was meant to be cheated on in order to find my way to where i was supposed to be. ❞ she meant with him, of course. it was too soon to tell, but lucy gray was sure that this could be love, or as close to it as she'd ever get.
people who leave out the second name in Covey names...... you are my number 1 enemy for real
"I missed you..." (from Clerk Carmine)
❝ i missed you too, cc, ❞ tears filled lucy gray's eyes as she wrapped clerk carmine into her embrace. ❝ i ain't leavin' you all ever again. i promise that. i just can't be seen out by anybody, ❞ she'd waited months just so that she'd be completely sure coriolanus was out of twelve. now, all she had to worry about was the mayor finding her. she was sure that he still blamed her for the deaths of billy taupe and mayfair. ❝ where are the others ? ❞ clerk carmine had been the first of the covey she'd seen when she got back to twelve, relief having washed over her when she'd found out that they hadn't been punished for her actions. ❝ i shouldn't have trusted him. i knew that i shouldn't, but i went against my better judgment. never again. ❞ lucy gray vowed that she'd never let her guard down like that again, she'd never allow herself to fall for anybody like that again.
"Well, Billy Taupe and I are vastly different. And– you clearly deserved better, Lucy Gray. The lady should never pay." That was just the first rule of what it meant to be a man. How slummy of Billy Taupe. "Then that's what we'll do." he decides, wiping at his mouth with a napkin before balling it up, placing it on his plate. Going ahead and laying the tip money out on the table after he digs his wallet out. "What kind of question is that? When I'm sure I'd find myself glancing at you if you were just the girl across the table over there."
❝ that's incredibly sweet of you, darlin', guess i'm still getting used to what it means to be with a gentleman. ❞ she smiled small at coriolanus, eyes meeting his once more as she finished while he got ready to pay the bill. ❝ really ? what makes me so special that you'd spare me a glance when i've noticed you have never once looked at another girl that way ? ❞ lucy gray just wanted to know what he saw in her that he hadn't seen in other girls. if he had, clearly he'd be taken already. he was gorgeous and surely many girls wanted to be with him. there was no way that anybody didn't want to be with coriolanus.
"They won't resent me..." he starts, pausing for a second, dwelling on how he couldn't allow that to happen, "not when I'll be the best father I can be." Convincing himself he'll be exactly that, too. How can a child resent it's father if the father gives everything a child needs? "I don't disagree." About their child coming first, which is why he's ensuring their mother doesn't take them away from him. Everything going nicely until she mentions putting off the wedding... sitting back, the look of realization crossing his visage, so she is lying to him. "That's the part I do disagree... after their born, doesn't make sense." She's just trying to get out of it, seemingly. Which irks him.
❝ they won't. as long as you don't keep us locked up. we both want the same things for them, darlin', ❞ lucy gray told him with a sweet smile, still attempting to pretend that she loved him again. as he told her that he disagreed with putting the wedding off, her face fell. ❝ i love you, gorgeous, you know i do, but with the way our baby has been making me feel, i'm not sure i could survive doing the whole wedding thing until they're born. don't you care about my well being ? wasn't it you who feared losing me during childbirth ? ❞ lucy gray was grasping at straws trying to figure out ways to postpone the wedding. at least long enough for her to be able to get out.
"That doesn't change things. Anger's a fleeting emotion, Lucy Gray." he chuckles through the lie, anger clung and it rooted deeply to his nature– like he'd always remember who wronged him, dating back to playground bullies like Livia Cardew, Dean Highbottom and his every attempt to make him suffer and demolish his life, the rebels destroying his family, Lucy Gray betraying him. All that anger caused by each person, each experience, still clung strongly and hadn't fled anywhere. So he certainly won't be forgetting that latter part, but he'll never admit to it on the outside. Let her have access to see it burning bitterly and ugly inside of him.
"I'm not planning that." But he is still planning to keep her watched at all times, he just has to finish his career path, wherever it may lead then he can afford all of the security he'll possibly need to keep her well guarded from escaping and taking their child with her. Really, the thought of ensuring he secures Lucy Gray and their child from leaving him, it just motivates his drive and determination that he keeps climbing to the top from here. It'd calm his anxiety about it, his restless sleep at night. At least to a certain degree. "You and the baby will have freedom, I wouldn't confine them to a bedroom for life. And what? Mold them in a reclusive being? No, I agree with you. They do need space to thrive."
❝ i'm glad you think so, darlin', ❞ she said, feigning an innocent tone, though she's sure he's pissed at her for the way she'd acted seeing as she was still angry at the way he acted. lucy gray would never understand why he thought he could lie to her and that everything would just be okay. even though she was pretending she was back to her old self again, she'd still keep that hatred for him locked deep down inside of her. he'd ruined the love she'd once had for him.
❝ okay, good, just making sure. i wouldn't want our baby to resent you for keeping them locked away. ❞ she knew that would add insult to injury, even if he was too proud to show her words' effects on him. ❝ i'm glad we're on the same page, because after all, our child should come first. ❞ making the switch from my child to our child was hard on lucy gray, selfishly wanting to be possessive over her baby, the one she'd carry to term in her body. it took two to make a baby, sure, but she'd be the one to provide for it more even before they're born. ❝ i think, too, we should put the wedding off. until after they're born. ❞ put it of for the fifth of never. she didn't want to marry him, to be trapped.
"What do you mean? I should definitely pay for every... date..." Pale cheeks flushed at that part of the sentence, pretending to distract himself with a sip of smoothie before finishing, "we go on." That was just how he was taught. What kind of cretin would he be if he made her be the one to pay? Humiliating and disgraceful, that's how any man should feel if they're making the woman in the equation pay. "Buying the tickets is no issue, neither is letting you still choose the movie. Maybe we'll decide on one together when we get there." Wondering why she was smiling so much... sitting before her confused. Until it quickly managed to cause amusement to stir inside him, chuckling shyly and unable to stop from smiling back at the contagious way Lucy Gray's smile always was.
❝ are you sure ? i mean, billy taupe never paid for every single date. just a few. ❞ that was one of the many differences between coriolanus and billy taupe, it seemed. a small smile spread across her face at his words, eyes meeting his as he spoke. ❝ i think both of us deciding is a good idea, then, ❞ lucy gray told him softly, big brown eyes still locked on his, happiness that she hadn't felt in a long time was overtaking her. maybe catching billy taupe cheating was a blessing in disguise. maybe, she was meant to be with coriolanus. written in the stars, a voice in her head said, causing her smile to widen. ❝ do you think if we weren't in the same class you'd even pass me a sparing glance ? ❞ she wasn't sure she wanted to know the answer, but the question was nagging at her deep inside.
"Certainly," he starts with a smile, "Why would I not want my child to look like my beautiful soon to be wife?" Questioning her like it's a ridiculous thing to ask, giving a confused shake of his head. "Perhaps they will, Lucy Gray. I'm sure they'll do great things." Nodding slowly, hand squeezing hers again, playing nice as long as she is. "I have a feeling they'll come out singing or playing some instrument." he jokes with her, softly smiling. Even thinking she should start singing around the Capitol, with the proper surveillance of course.
❝ because i made you angry with how i've been acting due to hormones. ❞ she smiled sweetly, looking at him. she hoped he was buying this act of hers, believing that it was hormones causing her to act against him like that. ❝ i sure hope they do, it's in my blood as well as theirs. they'll be learnin' an instrument as soon as they're able to be taught, ❞ lucy gray told him as she gave a sickly sweet smile. ❝ i do hope though that once they're born you don't plan to keep us both locked up anymore. after all, babies need to be able to be outside once in a while. ❞ it would be easier to run away once granted that freedom, she thought.
Even if she very likely was pretending, lying to him, he could convince himself to be oblivious on purpose all in sake of the fact he liked when she obeyed like this. He hates disobedience and it keeps her out of trouble. Icy hues cautiously watched her movements, he still won't let go of his paranoia and sense to be cautious of Lucy Gray's intentions. She struck him with that snake, kisses to his hand could be a distraction before she strikes him again. By time she was questioning him, he realized he had zoned out of any previous conversation. "Remember?" he questioned, letting it sink in for a moment. Then hand lifts from her grip to tap her chin, "Like you, of course." Sharing his own lie with her, he'd prefer nothing about this child was like her. Not looks, not anything covey, not personality. He was scared that would mean he might actually grow a soft spot for Lucy Gray again. And that couldn't be accepted, she was a traitor, a bird that was actually just a snake.
❝ really, darlin' ? you'd still want our baby to look like me ? ❞ lucy gray studied him for a moment, also not quite believing him. surely he didn't still want them to look like her. maybe he was thinking the same, that he didn't want the baby to look anything like her. the way she thought but about not looking like him. ❝ i just hope that our baby likes music. i'll teach them how to play instruments. how to sing, write music. ❞ lucy gray did want her child to be musically inclined. it was in their blood, after all. they were covey no matter how far from the others they were forced to be. ❝ i couldn't imagine them not liking music. not when it's such a big part of my life. ❞ truthfully, she hoped that they were nothing like coriolanus-- that they weren't cruel and hateful toward people. she'd raise her baby to be kind.
Observing her mannerisms, paying close attention even down to any signs her voice wasn’t as strong as her beliefs, when she responds. Usually, you can tell when someone’s lying when they can’t meet you in the eye, that was always the first sign. But it stumped him when he just found Lucy Gray’s fawn eyes were locked on his pale ones. It was infuriating… he could read almost anyone, but not her. It wasn’t just infuriating, it was maddening. “I believe I’ll make it easy and have the same.” With that, he closed the menu and on timely manner as their waiter comes over to collect their orders. Two pastas, alfredo style. And then they’re off, again. “What about the hair, Lucy Gray?” He goes back to his discreet testing. “Are you still committed to them having the same hair color, too?” he questions, blues staying trained on the untrustworthy songbird .
❝ that sounds perfect then, ❞ lucy gray grinned as she looked at coriolanus, eyes still locked on his. for a split second, she could almost fool herself into believing she loved him again. almost. ❝ of course i'd love for them to have your hair, gorgeous ❞ she lied easily, bringing his hand to her lips, giving it a soft kiss. ❝ i want our baby to look exactly like you. ❞ that was a lie, of course. she didn't want her baby to look anything like him. the less her baby looked like coriolanus, the easier it would be for her to pretend she'd cheated and tell him the baby was somebody else's. ❝ what about you ? what do you want our baby to look like ? ❞
"Certainly I forgive you. After all, I want us to be on good terms." His fingers curl around her hand. There's some hint of a lie in his unusually chipper tone, because he feels it deep in his bones there'll never actually be a good term for Lucy Gray trying to escape. Betray him. But that chipper-like tone could genuinely be channeled through relief he had his songbird, she was beautiful and vibrant, and right in front of him. With him. And the warmth he felt from her hand inside his, reassured him he has his hold on her. "Are we finally back to that?" he quips, managing to chuckle. On the inside, unlike before, he was now fine with that choice. And with her next words... as long as she acts appropriate, she can keep the promise of a covey name, he thinks. "Yes, I can compromise." he replies after a moment. As long as it fits his taste. "Now, what did you decide to go with Lucy Gray? For food."
lucy gray refrained from the comment about him that she was going to make, knowing he didn't forgive her. she knew that he was too prideful to forgive. ❝ we are. because i do want our baby to have your eyes, ❞ the brunette lied to him, moving her hand so that her thumb could trace gently along his hand. she hated how icy he was-- snow lived up to his name. ❝ i think i'll go with the alfredo pasta. ❞ she answered, humming softly as she set the menu down. ❝ what are you getting, darlin' ? ❞ acting sweet came easy to her, afterall, she'd acted nice to those who would give her money before. it really wasn't any different-- play the part and she'd be able to live in peace, surely, with her baby.

❝ i guess the pregnancy made my brain scattered. i truly am sorry for running from you, and for being difficult. ❞ lucy gray began, turning her hand to properly hold his, intertwining their fingers together as she gave her most convincing smile. ❝ i hope our baby has your eyes. still the most gorgeous eyes i've ever seen. ❞ she wanted to gag at her own words but refrained. he couldn't see that this was all an act. she didn't want her baby to look anything like coriolanus. if they had no features that resembled him, perhaps lucy gray could try to convince him that she cheated and it isn't his child.
❝ for a boy, maybe something along the lines of cedar sage. but i'm still workshopping those. girls are easier to name, i think. ❞ she. sighed softly. before forcing herself to meet coriolanus's eyes and give a smile.
"I forgive you." He shrugs gently, despite nothing being forgiven. "I happen to like that about you." A lie... he hated how resilient and fierce Lucy Gray was. "And you know where I stand with that. Hopefully, they take after their mother's features." Hand lifts to tap under her chin, smiling. Back then, he did... he used to fight her tooth and nail for. But not anymore. "I like the girl name better. Not that I have came up with anything better though, for either gender. Name's are harder than I would have thought." If... he had even been prepared for this. But good, he reminds himself, remember how it will tie Lucy Gray to him forever. That's enough satisfaction to push away any of the dreadful thoughts.
❝ i’m glad you forgive me, darlin’. and i know you spent all that time on the room for me, or i’d ask to sleep in the same bed still. ❞ she was thankful for that excuse, not wanting to actually share a bed with him. a soft chuckle escaped her at his words. ❝ i don’t know, i think a mini coriolanus would be precious. ❞ lucy gray lied easily, smiling at him as she put on her act. ❝ we still have time to come up with names. as long as they are covey type names. ❞ she wasn’t budging on that, especially since she knew that he wouldn’t budge on her baby taking the snow name. lucy gray desperately wished that she wasn’t in this situation, forced to marry him while carrying a baby they hadn’t planned for.
does anybody wanna be in a small discord server (6-8 people) where we make ocs & write in different verses ?? i feel like a big group is too much bc a lot of people end up not writing, but i think a small group of people that want to write would be fun.
