Summary: During some downtime, Bree is graced by the presence of an unlikely duo.
Luke and Kieran x non-MC (platonic)
Fluff and silly antics.
Breaking the fourth wall series. Previous >>> next
The chatter of voices travelled across the park, filling the air with tales of vast experiences. It was an indulgent pastime... people watching during her two-hour break before having to pick up her little one from her sister's place.
The weather was also fantastic, with the scent of wildflowers, birds' singing, and butterflies fluttering. The bench she currently occupies was swarmed with them, and they rested snuggly in her hair and on her clothes.
Bree giggled, remembering how she earned the title 'butterfly lady' from the older ladies who frequented the park.
She took this time to complete her embroidery project, whilst listening to some gossip from a friend group sitting on a picnic blanket to her immediate left.
The topics were rather scandalous from cheating boyfriends, to attempted murder, to scheming coworkers, and the sucky dating pool.
Movement caught her attention
"Oh, wow. They must really like you."
Blinking, her eyes focused on two children standing a few feet away. She couldn't help but look around, searching for the presence of a parental figure.
"If you're referring to the butterflies, I suppose they do."
The children laughed and whispered to each other.
Bree found their actions similar to her siblings (the triplets specifically) and she smiled.
She was still looking out for a parent, she was a stranger and didn't think whoever they came to the park with would appreciate them speaking to her (stranger danger and all.)
"You two should return to whoever you came with. The park is filled with people and it won't be good if either of you gets lost."
"It's alright, they know we're over here talking with you."
Bree took a good look at them. Redheads with mischievous eyes that shone with nothing but glee and despite them both wearing face masks, she could tell they were twins.
Something was off "Oh, they did? Well if so I would like to introduce myself to your guardian, that way everyone is comfortable. I am a stranger after all."
It seems she caught them off guard, as evident by the way they nervously tugged at their shirt sleeves. They looked at each other, a silent conversation brewing.
"You're not a stranger though, we've known of you for some time. We couldn't wait any longer, so Kieran and I decided to cash in on our vacation days, and boom! Here we are."
"Plus it was easy to track you. Your energy signature is really profound."
Okay so, Bree's brain short-circuited upon hearing their names.
"I think we broke her brother."
"Boss is so going to skin us. What do we do?"
The presence of them sitting on either side brought her back. They heard the hitch of her breath.
To be honest Luke and Kieran were so nervous. They've anticipated this day for so long, meeting the woman from another world, the woman who had their father figure going crazy.
What if she didn't like them?
"Can I hug you both?"
They looked at her in shock before throwing their arms around her waist.
Bree laughed before playing a gentle kiss on the crown of their heads.
"Oh, you are adorable but you two look like you're eight years old. Is this a side effect of your travels?"
The boys were elated, talking over each other, fumbling with their words. Bree calmly stood taking each hand.
"Let's head home and we'll talk more but first, ice cream and then we have to pick up my daughter, okay?"
They nodded excitedly, basking in the warmth spreading from their chest to the rest of their body. The butterflies, fluttering around them made her look ethereal; she was perfect, perfect to be their mom.
As they blended with the sea of people, Mephisto, perched on a branch, hidden from sight watched the scene unfold, searing in his memory before taking flight, ready to show his master.
I'm doing a Thing and it has come to my attention that there are no stickers of bullets I can find nor clear PET gun stickers. I've found bullet holes, but I want Mephisto's page to be filled with all the shinies he gets. 😔
