2. Sky, Sam and Terra getting along. (Their parents were best friends and they grew up together and they barely interact. Even Stella grew up with them and there's no showing it.)
3. Sky and Farah. (She raised him, and yet there's barely anything.)
Chapter Summary: After the Trials, you and Stella return to Alfea. However, you're nervous to see everyone's reactions to your new addition to your physical characteristic.
The both of you exit the vehicle and the driver helps you with your bags and the both of you see Bloom, Aisha, Musa, Terra and Kat waiting for the both of you at the front.
Stella's roommates hug the ever-loving hell out of Stella. Kat gives you a careful hug.
You walk up to Silva as all of the specialists eyes turn to you.
"Ahh, the Qrow has returned," He greets you
"Headmaster Silva," You greet him back
"How are your injuries?" He asks
"Just about gone," You answer
"Show us the wings!" Riven shouts
You look over to see Sky elbowing him. You chuckle, but you look around to everyone's eyes.
"Fine... Fine," You say
They appear by will and everyone begins to crowd around you, observing your new look.
"I hope this doesn't slow you down in your physique Cirrus," Silva states
"Not at all Silva," You say
"Tough gawking everyone, get back to work!" Silva yells
+*+
After training, you meet with Stella in her suite. The both of you lay in her bed, entangled in each others' embrace.
"Stella, care to join us out at Blackbridge?" Bloom calls from the common room
"As if I'm going to allow to give the commoners the satisfaction of them seeing my girlfriend," She says, "Have fun..."
"Come on, you barely go out!" Terra states
"Another time," You say
"You'll miss out then!" Bloom teases the both of you as they leave
"You're jealous that people will oggle at me?" You look down at her
"No, I just didn't feel like going," She says, "I just want to spend time with you."
"You have to make sure you'll make time for your friends too," You say, "I can't be your first choice all the time.. It's been about a week since we've returned."
"Fine," She says, "But, tonight... I just want to be with you. I almost lost you..."
"It should be the other way around," You say
"Either way, we almost lost each other," She says
"What was your mother thinking when she made the trials?" You ask
"She looked for someone with power," She says, "Once she saw you with The Blackbird, she began questioning everything that she did."
"How did she allow Darius, being controlled by Shadows to compete for your hand?" You ask
"They managed to slip by undetected," She says
"Your mother needs better guards or a system that detects things like that," You sigh
"Don't let my mother catch you saying that," Stella chuckles
+*+
The night grows into the room as the both of you lay in blissful silence.
"Love, I'm cold," Stella tells you, her hand trailing under your shirt
"We have a blanket right underneath us, princess...." You say, nearly gasping at her cold hand
"But I want your wing to warm me," She begins to beg
"You're insatiable," You chuckle
You sit up from the bed and your wings appear out of the slits in the back of your shirt. Lately, you've been having to cut holes in the back of your shirts, and jackets. You even had to get your uniform updated to compensate for your wings. It was a lot.
"you know," You begin, laying back down onto the bed, "Riven has been asking to see my wings every time we train."
"That man doesn't know when to stop," Stella rests her chin on your clavicle
"But, he's calmed down a lot since getting together with Musa," You say, "Like she's the only one who knows how to put him in his place when he needs to."
Your wing curls around Stella.
"Did I tell you that your wings are so soft?" She smiles
"Not until right now," You smile back
*Flora's POV*
You open the door to your room after a night with your friends however, stop. You notice many molted back feathers all over the floor, and then see Stella wrapped in a black blanket... Well, it wasn't a blanket.
"Is that... Cirrus?" Musa peeks her he'd in the door
"Yeah, she's like... a bird," You try to guess
"Well, her last name is Qrow," Terra points out
"You know, if they get married, will Stella have Cirrus' last name?" Bloom asks
"Okay, that's enough, let the Princess and the bird sleep," Aisha shoos them back to their rooms
*Stella's POV*
It was graduation day in the blink of an eye... You didn't want to leave your friends... But, you were also semi-excited to see what lay ahead of you, and Cirrus...
"I would like to bring up to the stage, The Crown Princess of Solaria, Stella," Silva announces
You slowly make your way to the stage, you look out to the audience and see Cirrus in the crowd of graduates.
"Coming to Alfea, I already had my life set out before me," You begin, "Become the Queen of Solaria, have a child of my own... But, after bonding with my suite mates, I realized that there was more to what my life was... I didn't realize until there were people I needed in my life. It really made me think about my life, and what I wanted... Although most of us may have a goal of where we want to be, don't forget the people that come in your life. To my girls, thank you; for everything, even when I was being my stubborn self, you lot always knew when to be there. To my love, Cirrus Qrow, you've brought out the best in me. I cannot imagine my life without you. To the life we'll make!"
Everyone cheers...
+*+
"So, Stella, what's your plans after tonight?" Kat asks
Your head turns and sees Cirrus talking with your suite mates...
"Traveling, Taking the crown, and at some point.... Hopefully, have a queen to rule at my side," You explain
"Snagging the Blackbird huh?" She teases
"Well, she snagged me first," You continue watching her
+*+
Once the party died down, you grab Cirrus to sneak away onto the grounds of Alfea, wanting to take one more gander of the school before you leave for good.
"Will you actually take the crown?" Cirrus asks
"When my mother decides to retire as queen," You explain, "And I want you, and my friends to be there with me."
"Are you sure you want someone... A commoner being at your side?" She asks
"Cirrus, I want you, and only you specifically to be at my side," You hold her face in your hands, "Not only you bring the best out in me, you know when to put me in my place; not everyone was able to stand up to a princess."
"Well, sometimes sunlight needs some darkness," She says
DANIELA NIEVES AS BRIANNA NIEVES IN FATE THE WINX SAGA:
i saw @fitztragedy’s edit with Adam DiMarco as Brandon in FTWS and thought to myself, what about a female!brandon? and i saw an edit of daniela nieves in vampire academy and thought oh my god she’s the perfect female brandon. and well... here we are
I don't know if I really ship them, but they might be an interesting item. What do u think?
I am SO SORRY anon, somehow this got lost in my drafts!!! 🥺
Who initiated the first kiss
I would say Beatrix, she doesn't seem to have that underlying shyness (self-conciousness) that Stella has.
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
I think they both do!
Who starts tickle fights
I did not realize that this tickling question would be such a negative for so many of the Fate characters 🤣
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
At first they both would ask, but once they became more settled in the relationship they would just shower together anyways majority of the time. They try to be alone as little as possible.
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
Beatrix would surprise Stella, bc Stella can get too focused on what she's doing and lose track of time. Also I feel like Beatrix is a bit of a snack fiend and always has something to munch on LOL
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
They both were, but Stella's was more noticeable in how her fingers twitched or she stumbled over a few words
Who kills/takes out the spiders
Beatrix. Stella finds them gross so Beatrix just zaps them with some electricity 🤣
Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk
Beatrix. I feel like she's not normally a sappy type, but that goes out the window when she's drunk 🤣
Chapter Summary: Stella's mother had also summoned other Princes from other kingdoms to challenge you via Trial by Combat. Seeing how her daughter being with a female wouldn't produce any heirs for the Kingdom of Solaria, wants you out of the picture. But, in the midst of the trials, a Prince/Knight appeals the queen's eye: hoping it would also appeal her daughter.
"Each trial will consist of a combat duel between the Qrow, and each prince I have summoned from every Kingdom in the Otherworld," Queen Luna continues
I... Have to fight.. People?...
You continue to stagger backwards until your back hits the big, giant doors of the ballroom.
*Stella's POV*
When you turn to look at Cirrus, she wasn't there.
"Cirrus?..." you gently call out to her
The giant doors shut...
"Cirrus," You say, breaking out into a run
*Cirrus' POV*
As soon as you were out of earshot, and eyesight, you beeline it out of there. You didn't know where your legs were taking you but you just needed out of there.
"Cirrus!" Stella yells out for you
You didn't stop... You wanted to be alone...
"Cirrus!!" Her voice gets louder
You trip over something, and make contact with the ground. You try to find your breathing pattern.
"Cirrus?!" Stella's voice calls out to you, muffled
You open your mouth but only a wheeze comes out.
"Come on, get up," Stella begins to hoist your arm over her shoulder
Stella practically throws you over her shoulder as the both of you make your way back to the house.
*Stella's POV*
You basically kick the door open and immediately lay her down onto the bed.
"You're okay," You coo
She looks up at you, tears forming in her eyes.
"I know," You sigh, caressing her cheek, "I told you my mother was unpredictable..."
"I'll beat them," She coughs, sitting up, your hand being gently placed back into your lap
"Cirrus, you don't have to-"
"I am Cirrus Qrow, a specialist of Alfea," She proclaims, "I will fight anyone that poses a threat."
"You're not doing it to protect anyone," You sigh, "You're fighting for my hand."
"My point exactly," She says, "If anyone should be worthy, it's me. Without having to fight anyone."
"A little selfish," You chuckle
You stand up and sit next to her on the other side of the bed.
"I'm selfish when it comes to you," She says, "It's like... I finally feel like I'm worth something and now it's possible that I'll go back to feeling unworthy."
"Don't say that," You say, "You are worthy. Even if you weren't with me. I don't care what my mother thinks. Because I think these trials are stupid."
"But, there's no getting out of these dumb trials..." She sighs
"I know," You sigh
She sighs in frustration and lays back down onto the bed. You follow after her, laying your head on her shoulder.
"You should head back," She says, "It's getting late..."
"I can go back whenever I want," You say, "I want to be with you right now."
*Cirrus' POV*
You scoop Stella into your arms and land onto the bed, she holds onto you as you do.
"Cirrus!" She laughs
The both of you lay in the silence of the house. Allowing the world to rot away with time.
You weren't sure how much time passed but when you wake up the next morning, Stella was gone. But, you expected it. You didn't want her to get in trouble with her mother for staying out late.
+*+
You arrive to the castle, a squire the first to greet you.
"Who are you?" You ask
"S/n, Miss Qrow," They say
"Just... Cirrus is fine," You tell them, "I'm not above being referred to as a bird..."
They nod as they gesture you to follow them.
"Where is the princess?" You ask
"The princess isn't permitted to help any of the knights," They say
They take you through all sorts of areas through the castle, however, armor and weapons line the wall; figuring where you were being taken.
"You have 30 minutes to prepare... Cirrus," He says, opening the door
You take a few steps in and the squire shuts the door. As you turn back from the door, you notice a set of armor that caught your eye: midnight black armor. You never worn such things in your life; you were only used to wearing light body armor and tight undergarments. Not all the metal weighing you down.
*Stella's POV*
You change into formal wear, buttoning your overcoat together.
"Stella, dear?" Your mother knocks on the door
You turn towards the door and force another smile as she walks towards you.
"Hi mother," You smile
"Are you almost ready?" She asks
"Mother, is this... Competition necessary?" You ask
"Don't be coy dear," She chuckles, "Of course it is necessary. She must prove her worth to this family. Now, come. Everyone is waiting to see you."
You nod, following behind her. You wanted to tell her that it was unnecessary, you wanted to grab Cirrus and leave Solaria. Even if it meant losing your title. But, There was no way you could escape.
+*+
"Wait here," She tells you
You watch her make her leave, cheers and applause erupt from the other side of the door.
"Welcome, welcome," Your mother introduces. You look up and see the projection of the armory room: each knight awaits in one area, Cirrus, in another. Cirrus was garbed in black armor, a cape that resembled wings...
A magnificent creature....
"Please give a warm welcome home to my daughter, Stella," Your mother's voice brings you back out
You clear your throat and compose yourself as you take a step out of the door. More cheers and applause for you.
"Welcome home Stella!" A voice booms
You slightly smile as you wave in all directions.
"Have a seat Stella," Your mother whispers
You take the seat on her right as she takes her seat. She raises her hand, silencing the entire arena.
"Welcome to Cirrus Qrow's trials," She announces, "Please give a warm welcome to her."
A gate opens and she appears. However, it was silent as she appears from the other side of the gate. You see her gaze follow up to you. Despite that she was far from you, you cold tell her eyes were warm, mouth forming into a small smile.
"And now, please welcome... Her competitors," Luna says
Another gate opens and a handful of brightly armored knights file out from the other gate. your heart pounds as there were a total of 6 other armored individuals stand on the opposite side from her.
"The rules are simple," Your mother begins, "Either party may win by yield, knockout, or death."
Your head shoots to your mother.
"Mother, you can't possibly kill Cirrus," You say, "Alfea needs her."
"This is a way to prove she can fight to survive," She tells you, "Let's see what Saul Silva has taught her."
One of the armored opponents remains behind as the remaining ones return to where they entered.
"May the Trials by combat, begin," Queen Luna announces
The people cheer in excitement, whereas you couldn't bring yourself to find that excitement. You were fearful...
You watch as the opponent makes the first move: charging at her. He lifts his sword and attempts to swing it down upon her. However, with her training from Silva, she immediately shows her proficient swordsmanship and strategy as she swiftly fights.
+*+
The first one didn't look so bad. Cirrus easily got them to yield. However, the next trial... The opponent looks bigger than the last one. You tear your eyes away when Cirrus was knocked onto the ground, many times. You were sure you kept your eyes shut the entire fight.
"Cirrus Qrow is the winner!" An announcer yells
You open your eyes and see Cirrus standing onto her feet; the opponent knocked out cold.
"Silva has been teaching her well," Luna smiles, giving her a small applaud
You watch as the medical personnel take the opponent and her back into the wings of the arena.
You retreat into your room for a little bit, pacing back and forth. Until you decide to visit Cirrus yourself.
+*+
You knock on the door to the house. Cirrus opens it up.
"Cirrus, are you alright?" You ask
*Cirrus' POV*
You sigh and shake your head.
"Barely..." You sigh, "They patched up my cuts but... The bruises are a bitch..."
You allow her to walk in and she immediately goes into the bathroom, a few things falling onto the floor as you wait for her to come back.
"Sit," She comes back
You only stare in confusion as she walks up to you.
"Sit." She presses her hand against your shoulder
She climbs into your lap as she preps some ice.
"St-Stella, you don't have to-"
"Shut up," She says
She closes her mouth as you could only tell was stinging pain. Her hands grip at your forearms.
"Easy," You grunt in pain
"I'm sorry," She sighs
"I know you're stressed," You say, "Just slow down."
You watch as her frantic pace slows down, and gently pats the scar on your eyebrow.
"You don't have to do this you know," You state, "I can do these myself."
"It gives me a reason to see you," She says, "My mother is beginning to crack down on where I go. She insists on me interacting with this newcomer from another kingdom... She won't tell me why though..."
"What did you do?" You ask
"Came straight to you," She answers
"You do know that you will have to tell your mother how you will feel. Right?" you ask
*Stella's POV*
"I hate that you're right," You sigh, "I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't hear me out."
"Wish that you were wrong about that one...." She sighs, "If being sneaky is working out for you, then... Well, as much as I'm against you sneaking around as that gets you into a lot of trouble... But, I'm not going to control you like she does."
"What if... I just... Don't tell her?" You ask
"Then you'll fall into being an obedient little princess," She answers
"I'll be your obedient little princess," You flirt, smirking
"You drive me insane sometimes," She chuckles
+*+
It was the same for the next handful of days... You reluctantly watch Cirrus fight, and nearly die, and then visit her after the trial to patch her up.
"God these opponents are just getting harder and harder," She sighs
You carefully lift her shirt and see the bruises slightly getting darker. You sigh in distraught.
"Hey...." She grunts
She brushes your hair back. She winces in pain as she props herself up. You hated to see her so battered. You just wanted to take her back to Alfea...
"We could... Just... Run away," You say
"And have the entire Solarian Army searching for us and executing me for 'kidnapping' the princess?" She asks
Damnit....
You knew your mother would do that to her....
"Besides, I'd rather face all of them," She says
"Why?" You ask
"So I'd keep you safe," She says, "From what your mother would do if you refused this and attempted to run away."
+*+
The final trial... Cirrus would be done, your mother would see that Cirrus is worthy of your hand, and the both of you can go back to Alfea and go back to normal.
You meet with your mother in the usual spot. You slowly sit at her side as Cirrus comes out to the arena. Your heart drops when it is one of the strongest soldiers in the kingdom.
"Oh no...." You quietly gasp
"Don't act so worried," Luna says, "Cirrus will be just fine."
"If you think she's capable, why continue putting her through these?" You ask
"Do not raise your voice at me," She tells you
Your head instinctively shoots down into your lap. But soon rises back up to watch Cirrus.
You watch her leap over the opponent's head and use her foot to kick him in the head, and then uses her own weapon against him, knocking him out cold. You watch as Cirrus stands onto her feet and the audience cheers.
+*+
You watch Cirrus approach you: decked in a suit with a tailcoat.
"My pretty bird," You smile, taking her arm
You lean over and kiss her cheek. Cirrus stops and eyes you up and down.
"You're so beautiful," She smiles, breathless
The both of you show up to the main hall of the castle. Eyes lay upon the both of you, but are followed by cheers. You sigh in relief as Stella leads you to your mother.
"Cirrus," Luna greets her, "Well done."
"Thank you your majesty," She bows gently
Stella carefully leads you to the dance floor. You carefully place your hands on her shoulders as she pulls you close to her. She rests her forehead on yours as the both of you sway slowly to the music. You move even closer into her body as you sigh resting your head on her shoulder. You close your eyes as you continue to sway with Cirrus, taking in the moment. Your hands travel around her torso.
When you open your eyes, you se an unfamiliar man chatting up your mother. You pull away from Cirrus.
"You okay Stella?" She asks
You don't meet her gaze, so she follows yours
*Cirrus' POV*
"Stella, why don't you introduce yourself to your betrothal, Darius?" Luna asks, right in front of you, "Cirrus' final trial."
Your eyes widen... You follow their eye direction and see a man who's got the looks of a prince. The body structure of a warrior... The definition of a king...
"Hello Stella," He greets her with a half smile
He instantly swoops her hand into his and lifts it to his lips. Your head instinctively drops down and you turn your back to them, beginning to make your way out.
"Ci-Cirrus, wait," Stella attempts to call out to you
"It's alright princess," You say, clearly hurt, "I don't want to interrupt your quality time with him."
You hear Stella call out to you, however, you felt everything beginning to crumble. To go numb. But, you didn't want anyone to see it. You continue walking with a powerful stride, back to the guest house.
Summary: After calling it official: Cirrus Qrow and Stella of Solaria have become one of the most popular couples in all of Alfea, Stella's mother suddenly calls her back to Solaria. But, not without Stella needing a knight's escort... Cirrus.
Chapter Warning(s): Fear of WLW intimacy, Sexual Tension, Semi-NSFW
You step out of the shower after a day's training, beginning to throw together decent clothing for your date with Stella right as practice ended.
*Stella's POV*
You stand in front of the mirror, continuously switching from one outfit preview to another.
"Stella, you okay?" Flora comes into the room
"I don't know what to wear," You panic
"Dude, it's Cirrus, do you see how much she simps over you? How much she loves seeing you in general? Not once have I seen her not smile when you come into the room," She smiles, "Hell, she'd be ecstatic if you just were just naked."
"I'd rather die of embarrassment than be naked in front of her," You lie
"Oh, what a shame then," A familiar voice chuckles, "I actually would have enjoyed that."
You turn to see Flora standing behind Cirrus. Cirrus smacking her lips together.
"Cirrus," You blush, "How long were you standing there?"
"Just the entire time," She says, chuckling
You could easily hear the slight hurt in her voice, but Cirrus was good to hide her emotions physically.
"All right, you two, let me change and I'll be ready soon," You say, ushering them out of the door
You shut the door but pause, taking a minute to process the fact Cirrus was hurt that you prefer not to be intimate with her. Or at least that was how she most likely processed the saying.
It was more... Like...
You were never intimate with a woman before; let alone the said woman is one of Alfea's greatest specialists. You've been intimate with others before. But none of which were females. You wanted to make your first time with Cirrus perfect. At least, you wanted to make it perfect for her.
You snap back to your reality and finally set out on an outfit.
*Cirrus' POV*
"Where are you two going?" Flora asks out of curiosity
"Just out to a bar," You say, "Just a plain date night."
"You're taking a princess out to a bar?" She nearly laughs, "Are you basic?"
"Money isn't really a big thing in my wallet right now," You sigh in frustration, "Besides, she and I agreed that we'd just go out onto a plain date."
"That's a first that Stella wants something plain," Musa chimes in, "She's changed a lot since you two started dating."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Do y'all actually miss her old self?" You ask, jokingly
"I think you're the kind of person she needs," Musa says, "I genuinely mean that."
You sigh into a smile.
"Cirrus," Stella's voice brings all of you to her attention
*Stella's POV*
You settled on plain high-rise jeans with a crop tank top. You watch in agony as she strides up to you. She props her arm above your head on the doorframe.
"Hey," Her tone drops a few octaves, "Come here often?"
You couldn't help but laugh. You press your hand against her abs and she takes a few steps back towards the door.
"Ugh Stella just get a hotel room," Musa sighs in frustration, "Cirrus, just keep her for the rest of the night!"
You grab Cirrus by the hand and make your way out of the suite.
+*+
The two of you sit on a high-top table in the far corner of the bar.
"I'm not offended by what you said earlier by the way," Cirrus breaks the awkward silence
"I know, it's just-"
"Stells, you don't need to explain yourself," She chuckles, sweeping your hand into hers
She gently brushes the back of your knuckles with her thumb. Her green eyes piercing yours.
"God how do you do that?" You ask, leaning back into the chair
"Do.. What?" She asks
"Eye-fuck me," You answer
"I don't know what you're talking about," She says
"You know what I'm talking about," You reply, trying to hide your smile
"I can assure you that I don't," She says, "It's probably my resting bitch face."
"Your resting bitch face consists of a very... Stern look. Like, your eyes say 'I want to kill someone'," You say, "But, right now... Your eyes say 'I will lay down my life for you'."
"Well, I would," She says, "For you, princess."
She kisses the back of your hand. Ever since you started dating Cirrus, you only liked it when she uses your princess title.
"I remember when you wanted nothing to do with me," You chuckle
"Yeah well, sometimes getting used is not the most fun feeling ever," She sighs
"I'm sorry," You sigh
"If me still being mad at you is a concern, it shouldn't be," She says, giving you a reassuring hand squeeze, "I forgive you."
"Not really easy to forgive myself," You sigh
"What's it gonna take for me to make you forgive yourself?" She asks
"Nothing really, it'll just be sitting there," You sigh
She gives you a hard stare...
"But, I'll try," You slightly smile
+*+
The both of you decided to take a walk along the barrier of Alfea after tiring out of being in the public eye. But, the two of you find a spot in the forest where eyes won't lay upon the both of you. You lean back against Cirrus.
"So... What is this... Big final you have to complete?" Cirrus asks
"Apparently there is a higher form of transformation magic, one that is far more powerful than our traditional transformation," You sigh
"You don't sound too thrilled though Stells," She says
"The issue is that..." Your voice trails
"That?..." She asks
"I have to make a great sacrifice," You explain
"Oh... Is Stella afraid to give up her walk-in closet?" She tries to make light of your situation
"No, heavens no," You chuckle, "I just... What if I die?"
"Stella, you won't," Cirrus sits up from the tree
"How would you know that?" You ask
"Because I will make sure you don't, princess," She smiles, "Plus, I may not have any magical knowledge, but I'm pretty sure your magic won't let you die."
You smile as you settle into Cirrus' embrace.
"What if I don't achieve it before the end of the year?" You ask
"Hey hey, slow down Stells," She chuckles, "We still have some time. So, it can be a worry problem for later."
"You know when to tell me the right things," You smile
+*+
Cirrus walks you back to your suite. The both of you linger by the doorway: not wanting the night to end.
"Thanks for... Walking me back," You smile
"Always," She smiles
You give her a quick cheek kiss and turn away from her to open the door to your suite. However, Cirrus puts her hands on your waist and turns you back to her. She snakes her arms around the small of your back and pulls your body to hers. She leans her head down and kisses you. You immediately return the kiss.
"Goodnight, princess," She smiles, placing her forehead against yours, her grip slowly ceasing on your body
"Goodnight, my little bird," You smile back, attempting to reach for the doorknob
*Cirrus' POV*
You hated the nickname: bird. Anything involving the term. However, since Stella began calling you that, you've been liking it. Only when she says it though.
+*+
"So your date went well I presume?" Kat's voice chimes in as soon as you open the door
"Yeah," You sigh, hopping into bed
"Just 'yeah'?" She asks, "N-nothing happened?!"
"What was supposed to happen?" You ask, sitting up
"I don't know... Maybe..." Kat gestures hip thrusts
"Kat you can't be serious," You sigh in unamusement
"Come on, months into the relationship and neither of you have done the deed yet?" She asks
"I told her to let me know when to take her to bed," You sigh, "To which she didn't tell me yet."
"Wow, you're speaking like a true knight," Kat smirks, "Waiting for your princess to feel ready. Do you have some knight-lineage in your blood?"
"Frankly, I have no clue what my lineage is," You say
"That'll be a worry for tomorrow," Kat sighs
*Stella's POV*
You lay in your bed after a day of your classes; attempting to relax and be mentally prepared for the next day. but, your mind was reeling... You couldn't shake the overwhelming fear of not achieving your powerful fairy form...
Just say when you want me to take you to bed, princess.
"T-take me to bed... Cirrus..." You whisper to yourself
You shut your eyes... Continuing to picture Cirrus. How you fantasized her hands roaming your body. Kissing every part... Your hand slowly snakes down your body, your fingertips making it past your waistband...
"Hey Stella? Flora knocks against the door frame
You immediately snap out of your Cirrus-themed fantasy and attempt to compose yourself as best as you could. You watch as Flora looks from the envelope to you. You're sure that she could see your heaving chest.
"You... Okay?" She asks
"Yes, now what is it?" You ask, sitting up in your bed
"A letter from your mother," She hands it to you
"Thanks," You tell her
You seat yourself at the edge of your bed, taking a deep breath.
"My mother is summoning me?" You reread the letter your mother
"Well, could be for something important," Flora says
"Odd she's requesting that I'd bring a 'knightly' escort to the kingdom," You state
"I know a good 'knightly' escort you could go ask," She says
You look at her as the corner of her lip curls into a smirk.
"Fine, just to make you feel better," You sigh
"Not make me feel better, make you feel better," Flora continues to jokingly taunt you
"Shut up," You sigh in annoyance
You stand up and throw on one of Cirrus' sweaters and begin making your way towards her dorm.

When you round the corner to her hall, Kat looks up at you.
"Got a date with Terra, room's all hers," She winks as she passes by
You lowly chuckle to yourself as you continue making your way to her room.
*Cirrus' POV*
You throw your damp towel onto a nearby rack as you throw on a sports bra. Cold fingers trail across your stomach.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack," You sigh
"Sorry, I need to talk to you," She says
"Yeah? Your suite mates starting to hate you again?" You ask, throwing on a sweatshirt
"No, no," She says, "My mother is summoning me back to the kingdom."
"This... Concerns me... How?" You ask, genuinely
"She is... Requesting a Knight's escort," She says
"That's... One odd request," You say, sitting next to her
"But, it's not just any 'Knight', Cirrus," She says, looking at you
"Who else could be- Oh..." You catch on, "So... If I'm piecing this together correctly, you would like me to accompany you to the castle..."
She nods.
"When do we leave?" You ask
"We can leave tomorrow morning," She says
"Jeez Stella that soon?!" You ask
"I told you that it was soon," She says
"Okay," You sigh, "How long would we be there for?"
"She didn't specify..." She says
"Alright," You sigh again, "I'll start packing."
"You're the best," Stella says
"I try," You chuckle, getting your suitcase from under your bed
"I mean it, Cirrus," She says
As you stand back up, her hands wrap around your neck.
"My mother's unpredictable," She says, "Who knows what she'll have planned..."
"I can handle unpredictable," You smile
You take a step back and begin walking over to your drawers, looking for presentable clothing for the trip. As you were in the midst of re-folding a shirt, Stella's fingers trickle around your waist and wrap around your stomach.
"You can worry about that later..." She says against your shoulder
"Aren't we leaving first thing in the morning?" You ask, turning to look over your shoulder
"Yes but..." She says
Her hand travels down to your hip and turns you to face her.
"But?" You ask, cracking a smile
She doesn't answer you. But her lips find yours. Her hands find yours and guides them to the skin under her shirt. She gestures for your hands to travel up further. She uses her hands and presses them onto your shoulders, guiding you towards your bed. You climb into her lap as she falls back onto her bed. Cirrus' hands ghost over your breasts as she strips your shirt off, revealing your bralette. Her lips begin to travel onto your neck and her fingers slowly trail underneath your bralette.
"C-Cirrus hold on," You press your hands against her shoulders
"Oh, am I moving too fast?" She asks
"A little," You sigh
"Okay, then show me what you want for right now," She says
Your hands slowly reach back for hers, putting then on your bare hips.
"You may touch what is already bare," You say, "You also may continue to kiss my skin."
She chuckles as she leans her head back into your neck, slowly kissing it. Your body stiffens as her lips and hands gently trail across your skin.
"May I?" She asks
You look down at her, "May you what?"
Your stomach knots as her fingers caress your stomach.
"Kiss you... Here?" She asks
You nod, smiling.
"You may," You answer
You gently gasp as Cirrus stands from the bed whilst still having you in her lap. She gently lays you on the bed. You watch her kneel on the floor. Her hair tickles along your skin as her lips explore your stomach.
"Ci-Cirrus," You sigh
You could feel Cirrus' fingers reach underneath and curl your waistband.
"Cirrus!" You sit up, pushing her away
"Whoa hey Stella, I'm sorry," She pants, holding her hands up, "I wasn't going to... I promise."
"I'm sorry," You sigh, "I panicked. Please don't be mad."
"I'm not," She says, "I wouldn't move further until you tell me to."
You sigh into a smile, your finger tracing Cirrus' jawline.
"Will you lay with me?" You ask
She nods, then stands as you gently pull her into her bed. The both of you lay in silence. Cirrus brushing your hair was making your eyes grow heavy.
