Riventrix! Bea asking Riven for advice on how to get close to Sky because Andreas told them to “play nice” and be real siblings
Hi! I decided to make them a bit fluffy today, I hope you don't mind. Have a good day, Anon!
Bea had been struggling with her feelings regarding Sky lately. The two of them had been content to leave their nonexistent sibling relationship as it is, ignoring each other as they went on with life and bitching about the other one (mostly to Riven, who had the "pleasure" of being close to both).
However, that was no longer an option. Beatrix thought that Andreas would swallow them whole if he saw them arguing ever again, and he made sure to let her know that he wanted her to fix it. Beatrix thought it to be unfair-- Andreas placing that burden on her small shoulders to carry, but he argued that he wasn't as close to Sky as he was to her and therefore couldn't demand something like that from him. So, it was up to her to fix the mistakes that had been made before she was even born.
Beatrix tried. She truly did. She could always feel Andreas' eyes on her, observing and waiting for her to make a move. She would sigh quietly and pass Sky in the hallway, smiling brightly and waving at him, but he would just shoot her a look and keep walking. Things she did just to please her Daddy. But, she couldn't keep stalking Sky and waving at him, because it wasn't working (not that she thought it would). Beatrix had to think of something else, and knew just where to go.
The unusual couple was sitting on Bea’s bed one afternoon. Riven was playing a game on his phone while she laid with her head on his lap, staring at the ceiling. She had to ask him, but didn't know how. Perhaps it was best to just blurt it out and hope for the best.
'Riven,' she said. 'Do you think you could help me with something?'
Riven looked down at her, his phone long forgotten, as he threaded his fingers through her hair. 'Whatever you need. Is something bothering you?'
Beatrix hesitated for a moment. 'My dad wants me and Sky to be 'real siblings', but I just don't know how to make that happen. '
'Well, have you tried talking to him?'
Beatrix rolled her eyes. 'He wouldn't let me. Every time I try to be nice, he just shuts me down or ignores me.'
Riven though for a moment before speaking. That did sound like something Sky would do. 'Maybe you should try doing things together. Do you have any common interests or something?'
She glared at him. 'Do we?'
'Yeah, that sounds about right. Sorry. Looks like you will have to find something new to try together. ' He said, stopping to trace her lips lightly before bending down to give her a kiss. Beatrix returned the kiss absentmindedly.
'How are we supposed to do things together if we can't even talk to each other?'
Riven smacked his lips together, deep in thought. 'You know, I feel like Andreas should be the one to talk to him.' Riven hesitated for a moment before continuing. 'I can do it if he doesn't. Sky is holding some things over your head that he really shouldn't. '
Beatrix took Riven's hand gently and grasped his fingers in her own. His hands were always warm and holding them gave her some strange sense of security she often denied she needed. 'I came to you for an advice, not to ask you to solve my problems for me.'
'I like doing things for you. Don't you want me to spoil you?' He confessed, brushing his nose against hers for a brief moment.
'I love you for that, but that's still a no.'
Riven had always known. She had even told him a time or two when she was on the verge of sleep, but it felt nice to hear it when she was fully aware and coherent. 'You love me?'
'You know I do.' She stated simply.
Riven decided to leave that conversation for later and focused on the matter at hand. 'Why don't you talk to Sky?'
'What should I say?' Beatrix inquired, tilting her head slightly to the side.
'Be honest. That's something he can appreciate, I think. '
She closed her eyes, weight slowly lifted from her shoulders and tension finally leaving her body after what felt like weeks. She had Riven in her corner.
