In the beast's den
{karl heisenberg x gen!neutral reader} Chapter eleven: renovation
notes: sorry for not updating, life is a bitch sometimes
__________
The sun rises early; peering through the blinds and disrupting your precious sleep. Reaching out to hug Karl, you notice his sudden absence; no trace of his soft touch, his handsome face, his strong hands anywhere. Whilst you tiredly roll out of bed to freshen up, Heisenberg himself sits in his workshop; his pencil scraping over paper to create an intricate sketch for a new 'Soldat Model'. Minutes later, you stumble into his abode; tiredness and confusion visible on your face.
"Mornin' buttercup~"
He says with a tinge of seduction; his hand supporting a cigar between his gloved thumb and index finger. His round sunglasses hang low on his nose bridge, his hazel piercing gaze fully visible. By your tired mumblings, he can tell that is far too early for any sensual games; instead he hands you his half empty cup of coffee. Unlike a few weeks ago, this time you actually finish the beverage. His eyes dart over his sketch before glancing over at your form again; eyes scanning your body but stopping at your neck.
"ouhh, forgot about those- tendencies I have to mark what is mine"
You already know what he's talking about; the various large hickeys covering your neck of course. Not that you mind, not in the slightest. It tells a story, it shows ownership and possession. You are marked as his and his only, if only that tall lady knew. Speaking of Dimitrescu, you can't help but wonder what ever came of her? Is that truly that pale lady from the picture you saw the other week? Snapping you out of your thoughts, Heisenberg speaks once more:
"Didn't mean to leave 'ya so early, got some work t'finish. give me a few hours-"
He mutters, swiftly grabbing your hand and pressing his scarred hips against your knuckles in a sudden unexpected romantic gesture. A blush creeps up on your face again; though you know that he will be busy for the rest of the day. Leaving his office and moving to an old empty room that is now coined 'training grounds', you practice your close-up combat instead of knife throwing. Sweat forms on your forehead as you work your muscles until knots and cramps start to form. Huffing and groaning in exhaustion; the axe he had given you to practice with falls to the ground in a quick movement. Your feet, hands and arms are sore; sweat coating your skin and clothing. Moving to the personal quarters, you try to avoid the passages where the Soldat's are being constructed. Aware that Karl controls them, you never know when those literally mindless beasts may turn on their master.
You make quick work in removing your clothing, taking a speedy but refreshing shower {once more using Heisenberg's soap}. A new outfit and refreshed, a sensation of cleanliness fills you despite the dirty surroundings. That is when an idea comes up-
"this place is a damn mess..."
You whisper to yourself, glancing around the personal quarters. Despite the fresh bedding, minibar, relaxing fireplace and comfy sofa... it seems somewhat dull. The colors only being brown, gray and black. Debating for a moment, you fish through some shelves. Some old green paint, white and yellow paint, some cloths and old pots... perfect, you think. Quickly, you get to work; furniture moved and tools gathered for your renovation plans, hopefully to gain your dear lord's approval.
"eughh- how old is this..." you grab some of Karl's old clothing, quickly tossing it into the bathtub, figuring that even IF he had a washing machine, it likely doesn't work. You gather a collection all old clothing, stacking them in the bathtub and adding soap and hot water to wash them. Letting said clothes soak, you grab the small pots and a paintbrush from his small desk within the personal quarters; painting the pots yellow and white. Whilst the freshly painted pots dry, you grab the cloths and look for a sweing kit. However, you don't find one anywhere.
"damn it- how the hell can this man not have some damn yarn and a needle?"
Cursing under your breath, you make a long way towards his workshop once again. Sticking your head inside; Heisenberg sits at his desk engrossed in his sketches and tinkering. Coughing slightly to grab the lord's attention, he turn to face you.
"mmhm?"
He only plays half attention to you, though not a rude way-
"do you have a sewing kit or something, hun?"
Karl raises an eyebrow, cigar between his lips as he reaches into a drawer with a slight cocky chuckle; tossing over the small cardboard box.
"ripped clothes 'eh?"
He asks, turning towards his work again. His workshop also is a mess, though that is a project for another day.
"something like that..."
You utter playfully, quickly turning on your heels and practically running towards the personal quarters within the barn once again. Heisenberg rolls his eyes and laughs, placing his cigar in the ashtray as his pencil gets to work on scribbling once more. Kicking open the door, you launch forward to grasp the cloths; matching colors and sewing them together to make a makeshift hopefully tablecloth that doesn't look too out of place when on the coffee table. Your mind is now fully devoted to ridding the room of trash whilst the clothes still soak, the pots still dry. Finishing this, you grab the dried pots; quickly stepping outside to collect dirt and any aesthetically pleasing plants you can see. Feet still sore from the training earlier, you make quick work to finally collect all the plants and decorations you need.
Meanwhile, Heisenberg remains in his workshop; his hand tensing in anger as he tries to perfect the sketch that is very much needed for the future revolution. He huffs, his cigar forgotten and on the old scrappy metal floor as he angrily scrapes the pencil over the paper again.
"fucking damn it-!"
He exclaims loudly, kicking over his chair as he stomps over to the barn on the top level; moving towards the personal quarters to take just a brief break. But when he opens the door he sees you folding his clothing, placing it in the dresser against the wall. He eyes you confusedly, his gaze then falling upon the plants on the shelves and counter, the new red tablecloth to catch future beer spills, the cleaned floors and corners... he was surprised to say the least. Despite not much change, it was great nonetheless.
"what... buttercup?"
He asks; gaze confused yet still with an underlying hint of anger from his failed sketch. Your eyes dart towards him, silently praying he doesn't unleash his fury upon you. He takes slow deliberate steps towards you, his swagger as prominent as ever; hazel eyes piercing with a mixture of emotions. Gulping, you prepare for the worst; his hand lands on your shoulder to pull you close. This, is surprising as you were expecting unnecessary anger. His bearded cheek brushes against your own, lips tracing your jawline.
"buttercup... i appreciate it, but you didn't have to-"
A chuckle escapes your throat as he draws your form closer, his arms around you. His scent a mixture of cigar smoke, pine and his natural musk; indescribable yet delicious. His hands roam your back before suddenly giving your rear a gently spank. Gasping, you look at him stunned; eliciting a booming laughter from him.
"ahhh my dear- you're too damn cute!"
His breath hot against your neck, anger seemingly fully forgotten now.
"and maybe one day as dangerous as I"
He adds with his signature grin.

Purple Roses pt. 2 (Miss Venable x reader)
hiya..its 4 am in germany and im really tired :3 but here we go, Mina is damn soft in this fanfic..i hope its okay sksks..here is the first pt.:
https://littlejeaniehugsbumblebees.tumblr.com/post/640902350735818752/purple-roses-ms-venable-x-reader
summary: Mina meets ur parents and u have ur coming out..ouhh and she wants to ask u smt
warnings: nothing its super duper fluff i guess :D
tagglist: @d14n4ol
google translate sksksk
"Earth to Mina ..", you grumbled and reached out your finger to tap her cheek gently.
"What?"
Your girlfriend looked away from her newspaper with a frown to look down at you, who was lying in her lap.
You had to grin as she stared down at you in confusion as the glasses slid down a few millimeters on the bridge of her nose.
"I asked you something.."
"And what did you ask?"
"So ..", you started after your fingers had moved to her glasses and you had pushed them up again.
"Imagine you had to decide: Either you are the only mortal human among immortal humans or you are the only human who is undying among all mortal humans.. What do you choose?"
"Is that a test?"
"A test for what?"
"For finding out if I'm a psychopath or something like that?" She asked, still staring down at you, frowning.
"No ..." you shook your head. "I just saw it earlier on instagram and was just thinking about it .."
She looked at you thoughtfully for a few seconds.
"I would probably want to be the immortal human among mortals .."
"For real?" You shouted, tilting your head.
"Then you should see all your friends die .."
Mina raised an eyebrow.
"Which friends?"
"Oh wow .." you rolled your eyes.
"So, am I a psychopath now?" She smiled and you could see her white teeth.
"No .." you mumbled as you started to play with her purple blouse.
"I would probably have taken that too .. but just because it would have been weird to be the only person who would have to die at some point .."
Mina let out a low snort.
"Imagine that, a graveyard for one person ..".
"Yes! .." you exclaimed cockily. "I would probably be exhibited in a museum as the only human corpse. And I would get a coffin made of gold and people would come from all over the world just to see me dead .."
"Or some crazy scientist would use your dead body for their projects .."
"Ew .." you made and grimaced. "That wouldn't be that great ..".
"Better to be immortal, then ..", Mina said with a grin before leaning forward to put her newspaper on the table.
"Now I have a question for you, Y / N .."
"Oh yeah?" You looked confused into her brown eyes and she hummed in agreement as her fingers started to comb through your hair.
"Okay, imagine a bitter old woman comes up to you and asked you, if you want to marry her, what would you answer?"
"I would say no, of course ..." you said, tilting your head to one side.
"First of all, I don't find old, bitter women really attractive and, secondly, why should I marry an old, bitter woman when I can just have the most beautiful woman in the world?"
Mina laughed softly before tapping the tip of your nose with her index finger.
"You know what I'm getting at ..".
"What I know is that you could then leave your show-off house and then finally move into my horror apartment ..", you grinned cheekily at her and she just rolled her eyes.
"You know, I've been thinking, Y / N .." she continued, suddenly sounding serious. "We've been a couple for almost a year now and the only person who knows about it is your aunt and some of your friends .."
"Should I start tagging you on my pictures now?" You laughed.
"You're the one who doesn't like all the love stuff in public and that's not supposed to be a reproach .. I-"
"I want to get to know your parents ..", she interrupted you and looked at you carefully.
You met her gaze for a few seconds before you swallowed.
"My parents?" You repeated quietly.
"Your parents."
"Uhm..okay..that's unexpected .." you muttered as you rose from her lap to sit up.
"So my parents are nice people, but you know, that they dont now that I am ... you know-"
"That you are attracted to old, bitter women?"
"Oh shut up Mina .." you hissed and slapped her gently on the upper arm.
"If you say that again, break your stupid stick and throw it in the fireplace ..".
"Ouhh now I'm scared .." Mina teased, grinning, but you just shook your head.
For a moment there was silence between the two of you and Mina was finally the one who interrupted them.
"I don't want to force you to do it and if you say, you don't want to do that, then that's okay .. I don't want to drive a wedge between you and your parents either .." she said and put her hand on yours. Your gaze landed on her hand, ran down her arm to finally meet her face.
"Maybe it's a good idea .." you muttered and she smiled gently.
"At some point I have to tell them anyway .."
-----------------------------
"Hello beautiful woman .." you greet your girlfriend who entered your shop. Like she did every Tuesday night after work ... It was one of your favorite traditions in your relationship.
"How can I help you today?", You smiled brightly at her as she leaned against your counter
"Well Miss Y / L / N, my wonderful girlfriend and I will be with her parents for dinner for the first time tomorrow evening .. You know, her parents don't know that she is a lesbian ...", Mina explained seriously and brought you to grin.
"That sounds interesting .."
"That's it! We're both just pretty nervous and I thought it would be a good idea to bring flowers to her parents ...".
"That's a great idea, Miss Venable .. what were you thinking of?", You tilted your head and wandered your eyes over the woman who was just standing in front of you.
The lavender suit, the way her hair was perfect and the dark lipstick ... she was so fucking beautiful.
Mina cleared her throat briefly when she realized that your attention was no longer on your conversation.
"You know, Miss Y / L / N, I love to watch your talented little fingers remove the thorns from the roses ..", she playfully raised an eyebrow and you couldn't help but laugh.
"How vulgar, Miss Venable .. just make sure that your girlfriend doesn't notice this, otherwise she'll get jealous ..".
You bent down briefly to get the box with the red roses from under the table. You put them on the table between you and Mina and took out the small knife to start removing the thorns.
"How was your day, honey?" You finally asked her after a minute had passed.
"Good," she said curtly.
"Good?", You looked at her grinning. "You sound like a school child who is asked how it was in school ..".
Mina shrugged her shoulders.
"I hate those idiots from my office, but that's nothing new ..".
"Imagine if I would work for you .. maybe you wouldn´t hate it so much anymore ..", you muttered while you still slid your knife over the flower stems.
"I think that wouldn't be a good idea .."
You just nodded and stared intently at the roses in front of you.
"What about the purple roses?", Your friend suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You had these roses once and never again .."
"That was a special delivery .." you explained and reached under the counter, took out the paper and wrapped the roses in it.
"But we can also make some ourselves ..".
You put the flowers in Mina's arms and looked expectantly into her confused face.
"How is that supposed to work?" She asked.
"You water white roses with purple color .."
"Should we try it sometime ..", she mumbled and you nodded.
"Listen Mina, you wait in the car and I'll finish everything here and then we can go home .."
"Sounds good .." she replied just before she turned around and strutted out of the shop.
----------------------
Her dark eyes stared at Mina in the mirror as she smoothed her blouse with her hands. Miss Venable was usually never nervous, which was because, due to her dominant demeanor, she almost always had the strings in hand when it came to dealing with other people and she didn't care how much she hurt someone with her words. But that was you, her precious little princess and what she wanted least of all was to see you sad because of her. She also knew that she couldn't win over your parents if she intimidated them.
She leaned forward to apply her dark lipstick when you stepped into the bathroom behind her and let out an impressed whistle.
"Is that the blouse you wore on our first date?" You asked, examining the silk fabric on Mina's skin.
"Yes .." she muttered.
Miss Venable's eyes watched you in the mirror while she admired how beautiful you looked in the dress you were wearing.
"My parents should just like you and not want to go to bed with you .." you said with a grin when her eyes found yours in the mirror.
"Ha ha ..", Mina made dry before she screwed the cap of her lipstick back on and turned to you.
"Are you ready?" She asked and you nodded while you smiled wryly.
"You look beautiful .." she muttered and planted a quick kiss on your temple before walking past you to leave the house.
"So to summarize again what my parents know ... or rather
what they think they know .. "you started staring out the window of the moving car.
"Well, actually they don't know anything .. I think they used to think that I had something with my best friend because he was my homecoming date .. And now they think I was single and I told them on telephone you were a good friend... "
"That sounds like it will be a very relaxed evening ..", Mina joked and you couldn't help but grin.
"I'm just afraid it might be a little too much .."
"Too much?" Mina repeated confused.
"Is it a good idea to come out and bring your girlfriend with you? Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with you .."
"Well ... you have a point, but let's speculate ..", Mina said when the car stopped at a traffic light.
"How could they react?"
"So .. we have these two iconic situations: The first situation would be this "we always knew it mimimi".
The other situation would be that they will be angry ... and so angry that they don't want to see me anymore .. "you explained and Mina could hear the concern in your voice.
"Something like that is sure not going to happen ..", Mina muttered as she took her right hand from the steering wheel and placed it on your thigh.
"I hope so .."
You were silent for the rest of the journey and that's why Mina decided not to say anything. Would you want her words, you would let her know.
"Here we are ..", Mina mumbled when she finally parked the car in front of your parents' modest house. She looked at you sideways and found that you were staring at the house as if you were about to start crying.
"Hey .." she cooed gently and grabbed your chin to force you to look at her.
"Everything will be fine..".
She examined your worried face and grinned when she saw that there was still a print of her lipstick on your temple.
"What?" You asked confused.
"You have my lipstick on your face ..", Mina mumbled and wiped her thumb over the print to remove it.
"And I think you don't want your parents to find out about your homosexuality that way."
"Not funny ..", you rolled your eyes.
Mina glanced at the car clock.
"We should go in, princess, we are already 5 minutes late .."
"Okay .. here we go ..", you mumbled and suddenly sounded brave as you leaned forward to press your lips against Minas for a moment.
When you both stood in front of your parents' front door and your mother opened the door for you both beaming, Mina immediately noticed the resemblance between you and your mother. This woman seemed just as straightforward as you, and you both had the same laugh. If your mom were really as carefree as you, then the evening wouldn't be complicated, Mina thought as she greeted your mother.
The first half of the evening was totally relaxed, your parents seemed to be really nice people, as far as Mina could tell.
While your mother was just as crazy as you, your father was a bit more introverted, but he had the same sense of humor as you and he was the one who cooked. A fact that somehow gave Mina hope, as it showed that your parents didn't seem to care about the old gender roles (cooking housewife and working businessman).
It was really nice. Mina, who usually had her problems with people, thought she might really like your parents at some point. they didn't ask private questions, didn't let an awkward silence reign, and were totally open-hearted people.
And yet she felt how nervous you were while you were sitting next to her at the dining table and trying to choke the food down even though you were probably extremely sick. Usually you played with your fingers when you were nervous or excited, but since your hands were holding the cutlery, it was your leg that was pushing off the floor all the time. And it was Mina who then, invisible to your parents, put her hand on your knee to calm you down.
It was around 9 o'clock when the four of you ran out of conversation and it was you who finally broke the silence.
"Well uhm, I actually came to tell you something .." you said and your voice sounded thick. Immediately all pairs of eyes were focused on you and Mina tensed her hand on your thigh to show you that she was there.
"Oh yeah?" Your mom asked confused before you nodded.
"Well, you always wanted me to be in a relationship with someone .." you continued and stared lost at the half-empty wine glass in front of you.
"And surprise..I'm in a relationship .."
"Oh really?", Mina could see your mother's eyes starting to glow and she wondered if the whole thing was really a good idea.
"Yes ..".
"Who is he?" Asked your father.
"Well uhm she's sitting right next to me ..".
Mina closed her eyes for a moment when she felt the confused looks of your parents on her. For a few seconds no one said anything and she felt you start to slide back and forth on your chair.
"Oh ..", Your mom finally pounded when she understood what you were talking about.
Mina opened her eyes again and stared into the flame of the candle that was on the table.
"You and Wilhemina ..?", Your mom looked confused between Mina and you.
"We've been together for almost a year .." you added and Mina heard your voice break at the end.
"What does being together mean?" Your mom asked sharply.
"She is my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend like best friend?"
"No, girlfriend like i love her ..", you muttered and looked carefully at Mina who smiled gently at you while she rubbed your thigh.
"Does that mean that you .....?", Your mother stared at you with her eyes wide open.
"I'm a lesbian, yes .." you said firmly and returned her gaze.
"Damn it .." your mom muttered and fell back into her chair.
Finally your father cleared his throat, too, who hadn't moved an inch before.
"How long have you known?" He asked, leaning forward.
"Since Highschool i guess ..".
"Since high school? Are you kidding me?" Your mom shouted angrily and Mina could feel you flinch under her hand.
"Why are you telling us this now?"
"Maybe because your most asked question to me was whether I have a boyfriend or when I will finally get one ..?" You croaked.
"Because we thought you were straight .." your mom yelled back. "If we had known that you were into women, we would never have asked such a thing .."
"I thought you'd be disappointed or something."
"Disappointed? Oh damn Y / N ..", your mother shook her head in disbelief and looked at you sadly.
"Can you say something too, Dad?" You asked after two minutes of more silence as you looked away from your mother to look at your father, who was staring at you thoughtfully.
"I uh ... so when you have a daughter, as a father, you imagine all the things your child has in store for you ..." your dad began.
"That includes the person your daughter wants to grow old with at some point and I just imagined that this person was a man and now it's a woman .. And now I need a few seconds to turn this man into one woman .. if you understand.."
"Okay ..." you replied quietly.
"You know, at the same time I wonder if I have said anything homophobic in all the years of your childhood that could have scared you .." he continued and you nodded slowly.
"Who knows it?" Your mother suddenly asked.
"Uhm .. some friends and aunt Phoebe .."
"Aunt Phoebe?" Your mother frowned when you mentioned your aunt.
You shrugged your shoulders.
"She noticed that Mina only comes to the flower shop when I'm there and then wanted to know why .."
"My sister knows that my daughter is a lesbian and I don't know?" Your mother called, sounding reproachful.
"I was afraid that you would be angry or something .." you defended yourself.
"Y / N you're still our damn daughter .." your mother mumbled and swore again.
"No Y / N, you are our daughter .." your dad interfered.
"There is no place for a 'still' because you are simply our daughter and your sexuality could never change that .. Who you love is your business and you do not need our permission .."
You stared at him and felt tears welling up in your eyes.
"You have no idea how happy I am to hear that .." you muttered before getting up and walking over to your dad to give him a hug.
"Thank you so much .." you whispered against the fabric of his shirt.
Suddenly you felt your mom, who had also got up, put a hand on your shoulder and pulled you from your dad's arms into hers.
And while you all played happy family, Mina was still sitting a little lost at the dining table and watching the situation in front of her. It all happened faster than expected.
In her eyes, your father had taken it a little better than your mom, who seemed a little disappointed because you had only told them now.
"I should go to the bathroom to fix my make-up ..." you mumbled and smiled sheepishly as you withdrew from your mom's arms.
Your mother just nodded before you turned around to jump out of the room, leaving Mina alone with your parents.
"So you're a lesbian too .." said your mother, mumbling as your parents sat down again.
"I am.", Mina replied curtly and pressed her lips together.
"And is that serious between you?"
"It is."
"This is probably the moment when I should threaten to kill you if you break her heart .." joked your father.
"I'll propose to her," Mina said firmly.
"So it's really serious ..", your mother's eyes widened at Mina's words.
"It is .." repeated she.
"Well, we would be happy if you would invite us to your wedding..", your dad interjected and Mina decided at that moment that she liked your parents.
A few seconds later you were standing in the doorway and had your radiant smile back on.
"I think we should go now, Mina .." you said and Mina hummed in agreement.
"That's a good idea.."
As soon as you were outside, after hugging your parents for a long time, you jumped into the arms of your girlfriend to kiss every inch of her face.
"Jesus Y / N ..", Mina muttered, who stumbled a few steps back from your sudden attack.
"I'm such an idiot ..", you laughed. "I've been worrying for free all these years and now they have reacted so well to it ... I should have done that much earlier .."
Mina smiled as she pressed a quick kiss on your forehead.
"I'm proud of you, princess .."
"So and now ..", you shouted cockily and pulled her hand to your car.
"Now I want to get to know your mother .."
"No way..You don’t want to meet that witch ..".
----------------------
"Come on, Y / N .. you promised me .." Mina pleaded.
"But it's really cold up there and besides, I'm tired .." you replied.
It was New Year's Eve and the two of you had decided to spend the evening at your apartment and then climb onto the roof around midnight to watch the fireworks. To your surprise, it was Mina who suggested going to you, although she usually doesn't like visiting your "horror apartment".
"If you put on your winter jacket you won't be cold and besides, I'm there ..", Mina tried further.
"You know, I think the idea of you as a human heater is really cute, but we could just drive to you ..".
"That wouldn't be the same."
You sighed.
"Okay ..", you mumbled and had your friend give you your coat.
Surprisingly, you found out that you were the only ones on the roof. At least you couldn't see any of your neighbors when you went over the roof to your self-made bed.
It was currently 11:37 pm and until the fireworks started at midnight you had enough time to watch the beautiful starry sky, as you always did when you were with her.
Your head was on her shoulder as always while she had an arm around you as always and was playing with your hair.
"I actually wanted to talk to you .." you mumbled after a few minutes.
"Is everything okay?", Mina asked and looked down at you worriedly.
You nodded quickly.
"Yeah .. it's just uhm, you know I love the flower shop, but I don't think that's what I want to do for the rest of my life ..".
"No?"
"No ..", you said. "That's why I'll catch up on my school leaving certificate and then probably study something ..".
"Thats great, princess .." Mina smiled gently at you.
"And what do you want to study?"
"History .. I guess and then I'd like to work as a professor .. At schools or colleges .." you mumbled.
"Professor sounds hot," said Mina and you had to laugh.
"The good thing is that when I study I can still live with you."
"Yes?"
"Yep .." you nodded. "We have a college in town, in case you forgot .. and if they take me, I don't have to move to campus ..".
"That would be great ..", Mina muttered and glanced at her watch.
11:52
"In 10 minutes it will be ready ..".
"Ouhh, we should stand by the railing .." you said before you jumped up and stretched your arm to help Mina up.
"Well ..", you began as you clung to the railing of the roof and leaned forward a little so that Mina was afraid you would fall off the roof at any moment.
"Josh lives back there ..", you explained and pointed with an outstretched finger at another tower block. "He is the brother of a friend of mine. He makes a lot of fireworks with his friends every year. Then my neighbors, the Andrews, who are not there today for whatever reason, always let a lot of fireworks rise from our roof, even though it is actually is forbidden .. And then there are all the people on the street who bring their fireworks .. ".
You stared at a group of people who were standing on the corner of the street in front of the bakery and were already setting off fireworks
"It occurred to me, I think Josh broke his leg and can't even go on the roof .." you mumbled with a frown and Mina hummed in agreement, not even listening to you.
As your eyes wandered over the city, hers glued to you and looked at you lovingly. She looked at her watch one more time (11:55) and took a short breath before reaching into the pocket of her coat to feel the velvet-covered can with her fingers.
You didn't even notice it when you were still happy watching other people's fireworks
"Okay, Y / N .. I'm not good at this, but I'll try my best, okay?" Mina said suddenly and you looked at her confused.
"What do you mean?"
"We've been together for almost a year and I have no regrets, except for one small thing .."
"Oh yeah?" You frowned as she continued.
"About a year ago you asked me in the evening, if I believed in love at first sight and I told you, that I generally don't believe in love and that was actually a lie. So it was true somewhere, I didn't believe in love until the moment I walked into your little flower shop and saw you cut your finger because of your lack of concentration.
You know how much I hate people, but with you it's different..I can't hate you and I never could hate you and I hope that you understand that between all the 'hate' I try to explain to you how much I love you .. because I do and I have no idea what I would do without you, I would probably just be a bitter old woman .. ", she finished and grinned when she saw you roll your eyes.
"I hope you're not mad at me, because I can't get down on my knees because of my handicap .." she mumbled and took out the small velvet box to hold it towards you.
"But do you want to marry me?"
You stared at her in shock.
"Shit, that wasn't a joke?"
"Does that mean no?", Mina frowned.
"God no! I'm just- Oh damn, Mina, of course I want to marry you ..", you grabbed her face between your hands and pulled her close to kiss her tightly.
"This is going to be great .." your eyes lit up as you pulled back.
"I already have so many ideas for the wedding, I'll take your name and all that .. Y / N Venable sounds amazing, change my mind.. and then I'll move in to your house and then I can catch up with school and maybe one day we'll adopt a lot of children from poor countries..".
"Slowly, Y / N ..", Mina laughed and took your hand to slide the ring onto your finger.
"We still have enough time to plan, let's celebrate New Year's Eve now, please..”
"God, it is beautiful .." you muttered, staring at the silver ring on your finger. Mina smiled as she leaned over to press her lips against your forehead.
"Happy new year, princess .."
"Happy new year, my dear future-wife.."
