Rumors (Part 3)

Read Part 1 & Part 2 here.

Can you pass me that box?” Y/N asked Sebastian, who sat by the kitchen island, with a frowning face. She would have found it adorable, but as they were out of fresh argument, all she wanted to do was punch him.

Sebastian quietly pushed the boxes towards Y/N and continued to ignore her. He could not understand why she was not upset about the situation.

Y/N continued packing the cookies which she made for James. His dads had returned from their honeymoon, and they will soon arrive to take him home. She was going to miss her nephew, even if he lived closed by and she could visit him whenever she wanted. She still wanted to enjoy their last couple of hours together as much as she could, but unfortunately Sebastian was spoiling it for her.

As she finished packing she heard Sebastian clear his throat.

“Y/N, listen. Please.” Sebastian begged. Y/N turned around to face him and signaled him to continue.

“These rumors can be ruthless. Trust me. I have seen this before. Now one person is talking, then another one, then everyone. Some even bully. People can be really mean. I have seen people breaking down. Hell! There are times when it even upsets me.”

Y/N’s expression turned soft. She realized that Sebastian was worried about her and it warmed her heart. She walked up to him, placed her hand on his right cheek. Sebastian looked up, his eyes filled with worry.

“I know you are worried about me. And I am thankful that you care for me. But you have to understand. I am a grown up woman. I can look up for myself. “

Sebastian opened his mouth to argue, but he was immediately cut off by Y/N.

“And as far as rumors, negative comments and bullying are concern, you think I don’t know how that is? I am a divorced woman. People are hardly kind towards divorced women. If I can overcomecome that, then I am damn sure I can overcome this.”

Sebastian couldn’t argue anymore. He knew how difficult things were during the divorce process and afterwards. He had admired her strength and courage, how she had raised above all that bullshit and finally had what she wanted.

“Now can we move on?” Y/N asked softly as she realized that Sebastian was not going to argue anymore. Sebastian nodded.

“Good. Will you help me packing James’s stuffs? I am sure that Y/B/N must be on the way.”

Sebastian walked up to James’s room, promising himself that if things ever go out of hand he will be there standing by Y/N and protect her in any manner, even if it is the last thing he would do.

Christmas

“Come on, girl. It’s Christmas! Christmas! Brighten up a bit will you.” You told the auburn haired girl sitting next to you. Hope spared you glare, and continued with her reading.

You were a young witch studying in Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted. You did not have any friends per se, everyone was polite to you, but usually preferred to stay from you due to your slightly risky nature. It was not your fault that you always ended up being in bad situation. You just happened to have the worst luck in the whole universe. Very few people were tolerant about your this “talent”, and Hope was one of them. All thanks to the awesome tribrid genes. It kept her alive anyway.

It looked like Hope was clearly going to ignore you for the rest of the day. You decided that you were going out. You can enjoy the Christmas alone.

Mystic Falls always fascinated you. A lot of human population, along-side of crazy supernatural. You found it amusing how ignorant they were about reality. You were walking past few stores. They were set for Christmas. You paused in front of a store and were busy admiring the decorations, when you were hit by something on the head.

-x-x-

When you opened your eyes, you found Hope and Josie looking down at you, worry in their eyes.

“What happened?” You and Josie asked at the same time and then gave a confused look.

“Something hit me. What happened?” You asked.

Hope was the one to reply.

“We don’t know. We found you unconscious here.” She said, pointing around the woods.

“What the f***!” You muttered under your breath. Josie held her hand to help you up. You muttered a inaudible ‘thank you’ and dusted your cloths.

“We need to go.” Hope said and started to walk.

“Where?” You asked following her along with Josie.

“We need to find your attacker.” She replied.

“So much for your bright Christmas.” Muttered Josie.

You groaned loudly. It was going a hell of Christmas.

RUMORS

Sebastian sighed loudly. Again. Someone made some comment about him seen with a woman. Again. They assumed that she was his secret girlfriend.

Sebastian stared at the picture. It was him and Y/N. Both standing together in front of a popular restaurant, laughing about something.

“Who is that?” Someone asked.

He looked up from his phone. Jessica Chastain was peeping over his shoulders looking at the image in his phone.

“A friend.” He replied.

“She doesn’t look like a friend. She looks like ‘the’ friend.” She told him, sitting by the chair next to him.

Sebastian rolled his eyes. Great! Now his co-stars too were talking.

“Man! I didn’t mean to upset you.” Jessica said seeing his frowning face.

“I am not upset. It’s just people need to stop spreading rumors. She is my best friend.”

“She can be more.”

Sebastian gave her a blank stare.

“Look. I understand this. I know these are just rumors. I just think that you both look great together.”

Sebastian blushed. He muttered an embarrassed ‘thank you’ and turned his attention back to the picture on his mobile screen.

-x-x-x-

“Hey!” Y/N said excitedly.

“Hey!” Sebastian replied back smiling like a Cheshire cat.

“What are yo- Oof! James!” Y/N got distracted from the video call.

Sebastian could see commotion behind her. She had lifted a young boy and was trying to adjust the camera.

“James! How is my favorite boy?” Sebastian exclaimed excitedly.

“Say Hi to Sebby.”  Y/N said waving James little hand in front of camera. The next few moments passes with James babbling to Sebastian.

“What is he doing here?” He asked followed by making a funny face.

“His dads have appointment with the baker for cake tasting.”

“Didn’t they go last week?”

“Oh! They did. Only they did not find ‘their taste’.” Y/N replied making air quotes.

“They do realize that the wedding is in a month. Right?”

“They do. Most of the things are done. Except cake. And my dress.”

“You realize that the wedding is in one month.” Sebastian teased.

“I do. Thank you very much for reminding me.” Y/N sassed back. She easily got distracted by her nephew who was trying to reach her face to get her attention.

“I think he is hungry.” Y/N said and started walking towards the kitchen, holding James on one hand and her phone on another.

“So? How is work? Shooting?” She asked him, as she placed James on the high chair and was in the process of heating his bottle.

Sebastian did not answer immediately. He was too busy staring at the woman in the phone, her soft hair that was all over her face, smelling like beachy coconut, a smell that he is all too familiar and started to love over years.

“Are you okay?” He heard her voice breaking his train of thoughts.

“Yeah… Yeah. Just thinking.”

“About?” She asked as she handed James his milk bottle.

“Those rumors.”

“Seb. We have talked about this. It is not your fault. Stop blaming yourself. And it’s not a big deal.”

“I know. I just hate all the teasing I have to endure.”

“Teasing?”

“Mackie. Jessica. And all others.” Sebastian replied blushing.

“Well. We both are very good looking people and it is good thing that people can see that.” Y/N replied bashfully making Sebastian laugh.

“We are indeed.” He agreed. Their conversation was interrupted by someone knocking Sebastian’s trailer.

“I have to go.”

“Okay. Bye. Take Care. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”  Y/N said.

“Bye. Love you both.” Sebastian said.

“We love you more.” Y/N said waving James’s tiny hands enthusiastically. He ended the call.

I do love you. Sebastian thought as he walked out of the trailer.

Can I be tagged in rumors, please? I'm living for it

Sure...

Made for Each Other (Part 2)

Read Part 1 here

It has been one year since you joined Avengers. One year since you started to go on missions. One year since you had a place which you may or may not consider as your home. One year since you received some scientific information about yourself, which you could trust and digest. One year since you found out something that nearly gave you a heart attack.

You had a decent introduction with the team. At least with the ones who were in the compound. You said polite hello to everyone. Fury briefed about you. You never thought that anything would surprise Natasha Romanoff, but your career activities definitely did. Dr Banner had asked you questions regarding yourself along with the permission to carry out some tests. You did not mind and agreed to it.

“Guess that will be it. Captain Rogers and some of the others are on mission. I am sure Agent Romanoff will brief you about everything.” Fury shook your hands and bid adieu.

You had spent the first week getting familiar to the compound. You had fixed a training schedule with Clint and Natasha, while they also briefed you about Avenger’s current focus- Hydra. Now that the Thanos menace is over, it was unanimously decided to bring Hydra’s end. You completely agreed to it as most of your missions consisted in obtaining Intel on Hydra. You shared your inputs and information, which both the Agent thought were extremely useful.

You spent a day in lab with Dr Banner where he conducted many medical tests on you. When the results came, it was pretty clear that the genetic mutation in you was natural by birth and not induced by any experiments. Banner had also suggested that he will find a way to obtain your parent’s blood samples for tests. He also offered you to make a suit with the help of Wakandan technology which would enable you to shift without worrying about taking off or wearing cloths. You were grateful for all the efforts that he had taken.

You spent the rest of the time with others. Most of them simply wanted to watch you shift in to different things. Rhodey challenged you to shift into a dinosaur and much to his surprise you obliged. It gave Scott Lang a heart attack. Taking inspiration from Rhodey, Peter wondered if you could turn into dragon. In few minutes he got his answer that you could.

By the end of the week, the others returned from their respective missions. Message was already sent to them about the addition of new team member, a shape shifter, and they were excited to meet you. You were too looking forward to meeting them.

Bucky was tired. Tired to the point where he considered going back into the cryo. He was tired of fighting. Tired of bloodshed. Tired of feeling guilty about the things he did when he was not in control of himself. But he knew he has to keep going. For all the wrongs he did (even if Steve repeatedly told him that it was not his fault), he has to make sure that no one else has to live a life like he had. This was the only thought that kept him going.

After returning from the current mission, he rushed to his room as soon as quintjet landed on the compound, without bothering to say hello to anyone.

“Shower first.” He thought to himself.

After cleaning up, he fell on his bed. He felt the soreness of his body. He laid there wondering if he should sleep it off or he should go to find some food. The decision was made when Friday informed him that he was summoned by Steve for lunch with their new team member.

“Food it is then.”

As soon as he reached the kitchen, he saw that almost everyone had gathered. In the centre was a dark long haired girl, talking to Tony. As he neared them, he could hear Tony bombarding questions to the girl. Noticing Bucky, Tony nodded.

“That is Barnes. He is grumpy and he doesn’t like people. And Barnes, this is Ella. She is the shape shifter. So don’t go killing anyone you don’t know. We don’t want you to accidently kill her.” Tony said introducing him to the new girl. The girl gave him an up to down glance and gave him a quite smile.

“So I hear you are a shape shifter. I mean that sounds cool and all, but how good are you?” Tony asked her.

“What do you want me to shift into?” Ella asked. She had gotten used to such scepticism in the past week.

“Oh surprise me.”

Others had taken seats and were digging food, and watching Tony’s and Ella’s interaction. Bucky was curious. He waited for Ella to do her thing.

Tony gasped, which brought Bucky’s attention back at them. He was confused.

What am I supposed to see? Bucky thought to himself. He could see everyone staring at the new recruit.

“You… You look… Just like… How?” Tony muttered unable to finish his sentence.

Okay. I definitely don’t get it. What the hell is going on? Bucky looked for any changes around the room. There were none. He couldn’t exactly pinpoint what had changed.

“You look just like Tony. Every single feature exactly like him.”  Rhodey spoke.

Bucky could not wait anymore.

“What am I looking for?” He said quietly. His voice was so low that normally it would be missed in normal circumstances but in this situation it seemed like he was screaming at the top of his voice.

“What do you mean by ‘What am I looking for?’ Can’t you see?” Sam asked.

“No.” Bucky replied truthfully.

“NO! You cannot see Ella looking like an exact photocopy of Stark? Man, either your sight is really catching up with your age or there is something really wrong with you.”

Bucky didn’t say a word. From the glare he was receiving from Ella, he knew if he would confirm truth, it would not be good for him.

“Bucky? What do you mean by you cannot see?” Steve asked. Bucky could see everyone’s eyes on him.

“I cannot see the change. Ella looks exactly like she looked few minutes ago.”

“You are telling us that you cannot see Ella’s shapeshift?” Nat asked again.

“Yes! That is exactly what I said. She looks same to me.” Bucky said. He was getting annoyed now. Why are they not believing him?

“He is speaking truth.” Wanda announced.

“That’s not possible.” Ella finally spoke. She knew that this not possible. Everyone can see it. Everyone. There were no exceptions to her powers.

“Guess we will have to look into it.” Tony said.

Bucky was right about things going south. He did not like it. And from the looks of it neither did Ella.

Eloped

“Good Evening! Good Evening! Good Evening Everyone!” James Corden welcomed his audiences, both live and the ones watching the telecast, through the thunderous applause.

The applause slowly died down, before James continued,

“Good Evening Everyone! Welcome to The Late Late Show. I am your host James Corden, and we have an amazing show lined up for you.” 

More applause followed.

“Our first guest tonight, also our only guest tonight, is someone with whom I personally have a bone to pick. He has created a lot of uproar across the internet and the world in past few weeks, that he managed to crash Instagram. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the newly or not so newly hitched NIALL HORAN!”

Niall walked on to the stage, waving his hand toward the crowds and camera. He did a semi bro hug with James before making himself comfortable on the sofa.

The applause subsided, except few hoots and claps here and there.

“Welcome Niall!”

“Hey! James!”

“Don’t ‘Hey! James!’ me.”

Niall let out a nervous laugh.

“Care to explain this?” James continued and pointed to the screen. It was the acceptance speech he gave at the AMAs a few weeks ago.

“...I would also like to thank my wife. Thank you, Bells, for standing by me. For giving me the push and pull when I needed it. For being by strength, my support, my heart, my soul. You make me a better man and I cannot express the love I feel for you in any words. Thank You! Thank You all! Have a great night!”

“As you declare your love for your wife, about whom no one seems to have any idea, I mean look at Louis’s face-”

The screen started showing Louis’s confused ‘What?’ reaction to Niall’s declaration of love. 

“His reaction has ended up being a meme!” James exclaimed showing various contexts. Niall let out a hearty laugh.

“Not only Louis, look at the reaction of others in attendance.. there’s Taylor- classy Taylor surprise reaction, there’s Liam- he too has managed to become a meme.” James showed various artist’s reactions to Niall’s speech.

“Yeah. I mean... what can I say? Yeah.” Niall tried to play it off.

“What can you say? Well, you can always start with the fact that how you ended up being married while the rest of the world thought that you were enjoying the bachelorhood.” 

The audience cheered.

“When the hell did you get married?”

“It been almost more than six months.... actually no.. it’s been eight months.” Niall confessed.

“Eight months?” James exclaimed. “Eight months?” James looked baffled. 

“Yeah!”

“How come we didn’t know about? Where was my invitation? Did it get lost? How did you send it? The courier company are going to hear from me very soon?” James bombarded Niall.

“Well....” Niall hesitated.

“Well what?”

“There was no invite?” It came out as a question.

“What do you mean there was no invite? How was I suppose to attend your wedding without invitation? Did you even invite me? Did I make it to the final guest list?”

“There was no guest list... there was no invite. Me and Bella had eloped.” Niall finally admitted.

His confession caused a lot of uproar of applause and hoots in the audience. James was speechless.

“I should be congratulating you. I’ll do that once I can completely process this information. But why on earth will you do that?”

“Well, she wanted a small and intimate wedding, I also wanted the same. But it was an impossible task, considering that we both have extremely large families. So, the only way we could do it was if we disappointed some of the family and friends or we disappoint all of them. We went for the later option.”

This earned a laugh from the audience.

“How did your family take it? When did you tell them?”

“We told them as soon as we came back home from our honeymoon-”

“So you had a honeymoon too? How thoughtful!”

“Actually it was a vacation, but we ended up marrying, so our vacation turned into honeymoon.”

“Alright. How did your families take it? We they disappointed with you as I am right now?”

“My folks were disappointed and hurt... but they understood our reasons. It took them some time, but they accepted it.”

“What about her folks? Were they convinced as easily as yours were?”

“Eh... Not really.”

“Yeah? How did they take the news?”

“Let’s just say that I literally ran for my life”
