Characters: Violet and Bucky
Content: Dramaz on a date.
It'd been a few days since Bucky took her out. Violet was surprised at how much she was starting to like him. Maybe he was good for her. Even through her busy schedule and trying to take care of the little ones. Klaus had started his scholar program and everything had seemed to be going fine. She didn't know why she expected them to object. But Sunny and Klaus seemed to have talked about this at some point.
Their sister was a woman now. Someone was bound to notice. Bucky had.
Not that it was entirely easy to get that close to Violet, but showing him the ruins of her childhood home started to break away her walls. Dinners were always nice when he could make it. She'd hold his hand under the table and try not to catch him looking at her. She'd dip her head down and pick at the carbonara with a tiny but all knowing smile before she'd raise her eyes to meet his. They'd play this game a few times during the course of the meal.
Sunny and Beatrice would insist he stay for reading. Sometimes it was Klaus reading, sometimes Violet. It was usually something philosophical. Violet would put the girls to bed and then see Bucky out. It would end the same. She'd be pressed to him with soft kisses.
She liked it. It was the tiniest bit of normalcy in her abnormal life.
It took two weeks to get her to clear her afternoons and evenings enough to schedule a date with him. This time she made an effort at her appearance. She took an older dress and made alterations to it. She trimmed it in. It was still simple, black, but it didn't make her look like she was swimming in it. Her hair was down with a pin tucking the left side of her hair back. She checked the clock. Two minutes to eight.
Klaus was just smiling.
Violet rolled her eyes. "Oh, it'll be your turn some day." She replied.
"I've got college." He said back before fixing his glasses.
"Right you do." She smirked. Not that it wasn't possible, but it was good he was focused. It was good for all of this if something came of this. But she wouldn't let herself worry about that tonight. No. Tonight was her and Bucky at some diner. And she couldn't help the smile that slowly spread.
