Here’s a new story!!
(I really want to do days 13 and 14, but I don’t have time for them right now, so I’ll do them probably tomorrow)
Day 12: Forehead Touching
Ship: Luke Skywalker (Lukas and Skylar) (In this snippet, they’re around the ages of 17/18)
Lukas gently touched his fingers to the side of his head and winced.
Skylar frowned. “That’s one nasty cut you got there. Are you okay?”
Lukas shrugged. “I’ll be fine.”
“Ok, good.” She stood up. “Because I did not want to clean it for you. Blood grosses me out.” She shuddered dramatically and walked into the kitchen.
Lukas chuckled. “But I would appreciate it if you brought me a cloth and some hydrogen peroxide to clean it out myself.”
Sky peeked her head around the corner of the kitchen. “That’s more like it.” She disappeared again, but came back out with two cloths, one wet, one dry, and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
As Lukas treated his wound, Skylar watched, sitting beside him on the couch. “Wow, that’s really gross,” she mumbled.
Lukas rolled his eyes. “Thanks for letting me know.”
Sky smiled proudly. “You are very welcome.”
Lukas sighed and held back a smile that tugged at his lips. He loved Skylar so much.
When the wound was fully cleaned, Sky gave him a roll of bandages. He wrapped it around the wound and secured it.
“Was that the only place you were injured?” Sky asked, acting mature now.
Lukas nodded. “I think so. My head just hurts a lot. Even where the cut isn’t.”
“Maybe you have a concussion.”
“Isn’t there a way to tell if you have a concussion or a brain injury through your eyes?”
“Maybe,” she said with a shrug. She scooted closer to him. “Let’s see.” She looked deeply into his eyes. “Hey, your eyes are two different colors!” She exclaimed.
Lukas chuckled. “You just noticed that now?” He had central heterochromia, meaning that around his pupil was a different color than the rest of his iris. He had brown around his pupil but the rest of his iris was a hazle or brown color.
Sky continued searching his eyes. “What am I even looking for?”
“I don’t know,” Lukas said, subtlety leaning closer and looking into her blue eyes. He smiled slightly. She noticed and smiled as well.
She brought her head closer and their foreheads gently touched. Lukas wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “I missed you,” he said quietly.
Sky closed her eyes. “I missed you too. I was worried that you wouldn’t come back.”
“Well, I’m here now. And we will always be together.”
Sky sighed and pulled away, concern etched in her features. “It seems every time we separate something bad happens.”
Lukas grabbed her hand and held it to his heart. “That’s why God brought us together.” He met her eyes. “Skylar, when we’re together, nothing can stop us.”
She smiled. “Nothing.”

Oh, and you’re the one with the charrie in coding in the school roleplay, right? I wrote a section a couple minutes ago, so I wasn’t sure if you’d seen it. If you don’t have time to reply, that’s ok with me.

June 14, 2023 at 3:09 pm #147741Here’s the second part of the story!! if you missed the first part it’s on the page before this
This is for day 13 and 11 I combined them into a two-part story XD
so here’s the second part
Edmund&Rebecca
Edmund pedaled faster trying to catch up to Rebecca. She was going too fast for an enjoyable bike ride.
Recently he had been a mix of emotions. Sure his brother was alive, but he and Steve had too many differences. And had gotten into three fights in only four days. Things were so much different when Steve was so much older than him, but now Edmund was a teenager and Steve was a young adult.
“Hurry up!” Rebecca called.
Edmund pedaled even fast, until he finally caught up to Rebecca, and allowed himself to coast.
“Usually I’m the slow one,”
“I just have a lot on my mind,” Edmund said with a shrug.
But Rebecca looked at him, and came to a stop, knowing something was wrong.
Edmund looked at the area they had stopped in, there was a decent-sized lake with a beautiful dock that had a canopy and everything. What didn’t this Avengers’ building have?
“What’s wrong?” Rebecca asked facing Edmund.
“Nothing,” Edmund looked down, but Rebecca grabbed his jaw bring making their eyes meet.
“What is it?”
“I just thought things would be different,”
“I know, but maybe things are supposed to be this way.” Rebecca reached her hand out and grabbed Edmund’s. “You’ll always have me, you know that right?”
Edmund looked down at his hand which was wrapped around Rebecca’s and then looked back into her sea-blue eyes. “I know,”
Both of their smiles grew bigger.
“Edmund,”
“Yeah?”
“We’re just friends right?”
“Right,”
They both looked even deeper into each other’s eyes and then their faces inched closer until their lips touched. And a kiss was shared between them.
Edmund moved a piece of Rebecca’s hair out of her face and smiled. “Just friends,”
Rebecca smirked. “Just friends,”
This was good, Edmund told himself.
She was good,
And together
They were perfect

I wrote one for day 12
Day 12 Forehead touching
Wanda and Bucky
Poor Wanda *me cries*
I just want to give her a hug
Wanda finished tucking in Five-year-old Patrick and Lexi. She kissed the top of their heads and smiled She loved them, but today had been a long day, more like a long week. She walked into the living room, which was filled with toys, and looked like a mess. Wanda started to twirl her fingers picking everything up with her powers and putting them in the correct tote. She did have that skill, but everything else was just hard work.
Wanda took a seat letting out a sigh. A tear rolled down her cheek. She wasn’t okay, but how could she be upset? She had a wonderful life with a wonderful husband and wonderful kids. She had nothing to complain about, nothing. Yet she wasn’t alright, she was far from alright.
Bucky walked through the front door and looked at his wife.
“What’s wrong?” Bucky tried to act strong but he had just gotten back from a tiring day of work.
“Nothing,” Wanda almost sounded irritated.
“Okay,” Bucky wasn’t in the mood to handle Wanda’s bad mood.
Wanda let out another sigh, but this time louder so Bucky could hear it.
“What’s wrong?” Bucky asked once again.
“I told you nothing is wrong,” Wanda got up from where she was sitting and crossed her arms.
“Okay fine,” Bucky’s tone grew more agitated.
“I have to go do laundry,” Wanda said walking off, her frustration showing in every step.
~*~
Wanda stood in her bedroom folding laundry. She hated the way she had talked to James, but she was mad at him. But why would he know that? He had no clue why she was depressed.
Wanda set the shirt on a stack of clothes, and suddenly tears started coursing down her cheeks. A few sobs came out of her mouth and she could almost feel a part of her heart breaking. No, it was already broken, the wound had just been reopened. It was something so minor, yet the grief was so deep. Grief that had taken place years ago, yet still had a hold on her.
Bucky walked into the room, looking at his wife who was on her knees.
Bucky knelt down, her face covered by her hair. “What’s wrong?” Bucky’s voice was much more sympathetic than it had been before.
Wanda looked at Bucky, her eyes red from emotion, and her powers. “It’s nothing, just something you did,”
Bucky was confused, and wondered what he could’ve done to bring his wife this much pain. “What was it?”
Wanda hesitated, it sounded so immature when she said it, but it had hurt her. “You’ve been talking about going to dinner for my birthday,”
Bucky was even more confused, her birthday had made her this upset. It’s not like adults are throwing huge parties for their birthday but you still celebrate it.
“I know you think that in all chaos we’ve just forgotten my birthday for the last few years, but I made sure it was forgotten. Because it’s… not just my birthday.”
Bucky sighed, how could he forget that Wanda was a twin? Of course she didn’t want to celebrate her birthday.
“Wanda– I’m so sorry,”
“It’s not your fault, and I’m not mad at you.” Wanda wiped away her tears, but more continued down her face. “It’s hard, because most people mourn on the birthday of a diseased one, and they celebrate their own birthday, but what do you do when those our the same days?”
Bucky got on his knees and wrapped his arms around Wanda.
“I know I should be over his death but I’m not, I have so much grief, and it hur-” Wanda let out anouther sob leaning her head on Bucky’s shoulder.
“You’re allowed to be hurt, after all you’ve been through. You’re allowed to be hurt.”
Wanda began to get help as Bucky helped her.
She looked into Bucky’s eyes as their foreheads touched.
“I miss them, all of them so much, and I feel bad because I have such a wonderful life,”
“You shouldn’t feel bad, grief never goes away, you just learn how to live with it,” Bucky spoke from experience.
“Thank you,” Wanda kissed Bucky, her tears fading away. “For being my husband,”
“I wouldn’t want to do anything else.”
Bucky and Wanda smiled at each other. The loved each other, and Wanda knew that was a risk. But it was a risk she was willing to take.
And she also knew that there would always be a place in her hearts and her children’s hearts for
Uncle Pietro,

I have one for Prompt 4: Battle Couple!
It was actually hard to pick which pair I wanted to feature here…cause, y’know, most of them are the battling type…..
I ended up choosing Hunter and Liberty.
Context: The pair is diverting the enemy’s attention away from their squadrons, who are currently trying to sneak into a base.
“Another one, coming your way!”
A battle droid hit the floor next to Liberty.
“Thanks, Hunter!” she called as she ended the machine with a swift stab. “How many more?”
“Too many!” her husband shouted back, taking out his blaster to fire at a droid which had fancied itself smart and taken cover farther away from him.
“I thought you liked too many.” Liberty teased him as he forced through the droids to get to her location.
Hunter chuckled. “Never said I didn’t.”
The battle droids pressed in on them until they were almost back-to-back. Two knives flashed silver in the sunlight as the couple held their ground.
“You think the rest of the squad’s in?” Liberty asked. “It’s been a while.”
“Don’t underestimate Tech.” Hunter told her. “With Rivet’s help, he cracked all the simulation codes in less than a minute.” He turned sharply and sliced a droid’s head off, almost too fast to see.
Liberty admired the move. “That was pretty cool! You’ll have to show me how to do that.”
“Really? I thought I already did.” Hunter replied. “Just watch me. When you hear it coming up behind you, be ready to swing your arm like this…..”
Their movements matched almost perfectly now. It reminded Liberty of her first knife combat lessons with Hunter….
The time she’d first started to fall in love with him…..
That had been a long time ago. How things had changed since then.
Working slowly but fiercely, they beat back the droids as their squads worked to infiltrate the enemy’s final holdout.
