    Summary

    Caleb’s expression morphed from mortification to curiosity, and he gazed at you as you approached him, arms crossed in front of your body. He opened his mouth, intending to say something, when you tossed your lace panties right on the seat of his lap.

    “Go on.”

    Two words. Caleb’s brain felt like it had malfunctioned.

    TLDR: When your panties go missing like clockwork every Wednesday, there's only one possible explanation...

    Summary

    Gods, what was he doing? What was he thinking?

    His dream had told him everything he wanted to hear before crushing his heart under its cold grasp. Shuri was in his arms, giggling, relaxed and holding him close. Shuri had called out his name with so much affection tingeing her voice.

    Shuri had told him she loved him.

    Perhaps it was the futility of it all that made him fall for her. Knowing that nothing could amount to his affection, nothing he could do would make her see him in a different light, would make her open her arms to him. Or perhaps, more simply, it was because of his kinship with her.

    When he saw her for the first time, when she was fourteen and scared, so so scared, he didn’t see a step-mother, as his father confidently declared she was. He saw a girl with far too much responsibility, a girl who feared his world the same way he did.

    He saw a girl who struggled, who failed, who was forced to grow up too soon.

    Or. Jeremy is given a chance to set things right, and he'll do everything in his power to save Shuri.
