SPOILER!!: List of Scenes

*Kolyander* · 10-05-2022, 03:10 PM

Girls and their mood swings. They gave him a headache. One minute Rea wouldn't even look at him or speak to him, the next she was crying in his arms. He blinked and she's talking about painting his nails bright colors for his tours. Merlin help him, what had he done by inviting her along? Somehow he knew he was doomed. With the sister there his nails would be done, his hair would be perfect and chances were he would end up with an entirely new wardrobe too. If it made Rea happy and helped fix their relationship, then it was going to happen.

And so was this. Now that she was no longer crying and speaking to him again, he could finally get to the real reason why he was up here. "So.. I actually have something that I wanted to ask you before I don't get the chance to." Koen looked at his younger sister and grinned at her wondering if she would be able to guess what he wanted to ask her or if she wouldn't care and would just nag him until he did.

FearlessLeader19 · 10-08-2022, 07:14 PM

Pfffft.

Excuse him!

Wasn’t Koen used to mood swings from girls already? Surely he had had enough experience with Stas? If not, then Rea would wear the title of being the moodiest female in his life like a diamond studded crown. But wouldn’t he rather she cry it out in front of him instead of continuing to hold all her feelings inside? Reagan had a feeling that he would prefer it the former way. The promise of touring with him and painting his nails did keep her going. Already the girl was anticipating the limitless amount of fun she would have.

Why was her big brother grinning like that? Reagan sat up and scrubbed at her eyes and cheeks. It seemed as though he had something exciting and important to ask her but what could top her going on tour with him and being allowed to conduct proper manicures on him? “What’s that?’’ Rea asked, puzzled and not in the least suspecting what the question might be.

*Kolyander* · 10-12-2022, 02:42 PM

What?!

It's not like it wasn't true. Sure, he was but Stas wasn't nearly as moody and thank Merlin nowhere near as loud as Reagan is. The younger sister could have all the crowns in those areas of his life if that made her happy. As for her not speaking to him, he knew he would eventually get her to, he always did. It was all in the matter of what he promised her. Having her tour with him though, he was actually looking forward to that.

The look on her face told him that she had no idea what he wanted to ask her and this knowledge only made him grin even more. Good, he wanted it to come as a huge surprise to her. "Well, I was wondering if you would like to be my Best Women at my wedding. Be the one to stand at my side." Yeah, nothing about him was really completely traditional and their wedding wasn't going to be either so no Best Man for him. He wanted his sister at his side.

FearlessLeader19 · 10-16-2022, 01:21 PM

Whatever.

He loved her a lot and they both knew it. He spoiled her at times by being generous - like with his tour offer - and Rea easily fell for it, but that was only because she loved and adored him as well. She supposed that her way of showing that is by constantly giving Koen a difficult time. Rea also knew she needed to tone it down; it wasn’t fair to her big brother to have to deal with her silliness that much.

Oh gosh!

Look at the smile! It was huge! “You look like the Joker from those Batman movies when you smile like that,’’ the Gryffindor said with a mighty sniff. She was halfway through a second one when she suddenly stopped so that she forgot to exhale. Rea stared up at Koen in surprise. What?! Surely she had heard wrong!

*Kolyander* · 10-23-2022, 01:32 PM

Duh!

Obviously he loved her. Did she realize how many years he had waited for a younger sibling? Lots. And then he was so wonderfully blessed with her. The delight that was Reagan Anders. He loved all of his siblings but if he were to be very honest, Rea would always have a special place in his heart as she was the one that made him a big brother first. So.. yeah she was always upset with him but maybe that was why he sometimes went out of his way a little more to make her happy.

Hey! It wasn't his fault that she wasn't picking up on what he had been about to ask her and this was playing out all too perfectly. So perfectly in fact, that he didn't even comment on her 'Joker' comment. The look on her face only made him nod his once. "Is that a yes?" Her being completely speechless wasn't normal soooo... either he had completely stunned her into silence or he didn't know what had just happened here. Koen was going to hope for the first one.

FearlessLeader19 · 10-23-2022, 11:10 PM

Snort.

He could have fooled her. Okay, not really because looking back, Koen had been an attentive brother to her, Jude and Keighley. Their two younger siblings seemed to be comfortable with that and the way things were now but apparently Rea thought about things too much. She couldn’t help but be worried about how different things would be once Koen got married. She was his favourite then? Would she always be? Would he always go out of his way to cheer her up when she had a tantrum?

What?!

Oh RIGHT!

She hadn’t answered his question as yet because her brain had gone all fuzzy with delight. “It’s a HUGE yes!” And Reagan threw her arms securely around Koen to squish the life out of him. “I’d love nothing more!!”

*Kolyander* · 10-25-2022, 02:37 PM

Rude.

This was fact. He always loved her and always would. Even when she had been a tiny little thing and cried her small lungs out when he had held her for the first time. Yeah, he remembered that and rather then get upset and pass her back to one of their parents he he had held her even closer and sang to her. She was the first sibling he used to play his guitar and drums for, the latter when she was old enough of course so it wouldn't hurt her delicate ears.

Things were sure to change when he married but not in the sense that she was thinking. He would always be there for her. For all of them. Big brothers didn't have favorites, Rea. Ahem. But shhhh, don't go telling anyone. For her, he would weather any tantrum she threw.

Right.

They should get back on topic, yes? Koen hadn't exactly been expecting to be squished right then and there but it was all good. "Well that's good to hear otherwise I would have had to ask one of the younger ones..." He laughed a bit as he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly to him. That had been a joke as he knew she wouldn't want one of them stepping in to take her spot for something so important. "Now for the most important question of the night.. are we good?" She wasn't mad at him anymore, was she?

FearlessLeader19 · 10-30-2022, 01:22 PM

Perhaps Reagan needed to be reminded of those memories she did not have a clear recollection of. It would do her well and obviously show that Koen loved her very much despite whatever intrusive thoughts she would occasionally have. Truthfully, there were bits of memories of him playing the drums and guitar for her; she might even recall banging on the drums with a stick and a little chubby fist.

Well, Rea didn’t doubt him. It was just that she might need a bit of reminding ever so often that he wasn’t going to drift away from them all - or rather, her mostly. She didn’t think she could stand it if that happened.

“No, no! You don’t need to ask them!” Sorry, Keigh! Sorry, Jude! Reagan allowed herself to be hugged tightly because it made her feel safe and Koen had chased her bad thoughts away. For now. She was indeed grateful to him. “Uh huh,’’ she replied, feeling ashamed of her behaviour. “I’m sorry, Ko.” Why did she have to be like this? How often did her mouth get her in trouble with others because she couldn’t control it? She needed to figure out a better way to deal with this negative trait of hers.

*Kolyander* · 11-01-2022, 03:15 PM

That honestly sounded like a really good idea. Maybe they could dig out some of their mum's photo albums too and he could really prove things to her, no doubt there was tons of photographic evidence in those. Indeed that did happen, as did her sitting upon his lap and him letting her bang at his brand new drum set with her hands just so he could hear her giggle up a storm. He had always done his best to give her all of his time when he was home but it did get more and more difficult as he got older.

He might have a busy lifestyle but that wouldn't keep him from coming home whenever he could. Plus he was only a mirror call away whenever she needed him.

Ko chuckled. "No? You sure, you're not too busy with all that other things you've got going on?" Now he was just teasing her because he could. Being the good big brother that he was.. LOL.. he let the hug linger for as long as she needed it to before letting her go, unless she wanted to lean against him, in which case she was more than welcome to. "It's okay, Rea. We're cool, always will be." Siblings always stuck together no matter what.

FearlessLeader19 · 11-05-2022, 05:41 PM

Bringing out the old family albums certainly would help a lot. Their parents had taken a lot of pictures during each of their children’s childhood and well… it would come in handy now. Sometimes one needs to be reminded of certain aspects of life. Seeing all those times with Koen would make her realise how wrong she was for being insecure and what an idiot she was being.

Reagan pouted but it was of the comical sort, even though Koen couldn’t currently see her face. “I’m sure. I can clear my schedule just for you!’’ When the hug was broken, Rea continued with her funny pout but then dropped it soon after. She was forgiven! Yay! Cue a happy Reagan Aurora Anders making an appearance once more! “Oh yes, do I get to choose a dress or do you and Stas already have a style in mind?”

*Kolyander* · 11-08-2022, 03:43 PM

Sometimes life was just hard. Age gaps between siblings as large as theirs weren't easy. Those photo albums were going to be a fun blast into the past filled with some great memories for them. They were for sure going to come across at least a few silly things they had long since forgotten about.

"Yeah? Well that's awfully nice of you since the wedding is all planned and in just a few days and such," he laughed quietly knowing she was only teasing. Well, yeah she was forgiven. They were family and he wasn't going to be upset with her over this. Koen looked at her when she asked about a dress and had to contain a smirk and laughter. "You do know who you're talking to, right? If it sticks to the color scheme I'm sure it will be perfect." He didn't have anything specific in mind and he didn't believe Stasya did either.

FearlessLeader19 · 11-13-2022, 06:35 PM

Reagan made an unpleasant face at Koen for a second before laughing. “You.” She poked him in the center of his chest with an index finger. “Took too long to ask me so it’s your fault.” There was an angelic smile on her face to show that she was teasing right back. But what Koen had asked her to do was quite unconventional, quite untraditional. Rea LOVED it! Traditions were SO boring, anyway! If anyone didn’t like her being the bestwoman… well, she could think of a few colourful words.

The girl laughed. “You’re the most hopeless of the four of us when it comes to fashion. But luckily, the dress I was planning on wearing will fit just nicely with the theme.” Now Rea was feeling one hundred percent better and her energy was returning with a vengeance. “Okay! It’s all settled! I can’t wait to tell Keigh and Jude!’’

*Kolyander* · 11-15-2022, 05:55 PM

Koen eyed the offending finger that had poked his chest, laughing heartily. "Annnnnd, do we know why I waited so long to do that?" Could it have been because she was constantly ignoring him? Or perhaps it was just because that's how he did a lot of things. Maybe it was neither of those and had to do with him not wanting to hear her going crazy about it for months. Whatever the reason.. did it really matter now that she had agreed? Plus who better to stand at his side and then her?

"Hey! Now that's just rude! I like to think that Stas has done a good job in helping me with that," he smirked. Ko knew full well that his fashion sense was very simple unless he was on tour and needed to stand out for wrock band purposes. Otherwise he preferred to blend in with those around him when he could. "Well, you go ahead and tell whoever you like now. The news is all yours to spread around." There was no doubt in his mind everyone was going to know in no time flat.

FearlessLeader19 · 11-21-2022, 05:20 PM

Did they know why he took so long to ask her?

Of course!

“Because you were afraid that I would say no, and you didn’t want your heart to be broken over that.” Duuuh, silly Koen! It really was as simple as that. In reality, though, Reagan would never refuse such an offer from anyone who meant the world to her; Koen happened to be one of such persons.

Reagan threw up her hands in defeat. “Fine, fine! I’ll concede to that. She has helped a bit!” Rea’s fave look for Koen was his wrock outfits. If he hadn’t been her brother, she was sure she would have been a wild fangirl with a crush on him. The young woman’s grin could have rivaled the sun, so brilliant it was. “Excellent! I’ll start with mum and dad!” With that, she leapt off her bed. “Race you downstairs!’’

A split second later, Rea was out the door.

*Kolyander* · 11-24-2022, 03:59 PM

Blink.

Blink. Blink.

Excuse him for not saying anything at all for a minute or so. He was trying not to laugh, therefore he settled on grinning at her and simply nodded. "Yeah, yeah sure. Let's go with that." Whatever you say, Rea. Anything to keep her happy right now and not wanting to freak out on him again.

"I'll be sure to let her know that you allowed her to take some of the credit," he chuckled lightly. When it came to being up on stage he wasn't the one front and center constantly so he didn't always need to standout. "Start with whoever you want. I'll follow you." Koen waited a second so he wouldn't get balled over by her before getting to his feet and following Rea out of her room and downstairs to find their parents.

FearlessLeader19 · 11-29-2022, 12:29 AM

Big brother was awfully nice to go along with her like that. It was just another gesture that proved that he indeed loved her. As for her sister-in-law, Rea loved her too and appreciated all she did for Koen’s fashion sense. Between the other Anders’ siblings and Stas, Ko was now such a fashionable wrock star! At the moment? Her feet were quickly taking her down the stairs; she could hardly wait to share this joyous news!

Scene 15:
It’s the summer of 2109. Charlie has officially moved to Britain and it’s moving day at his and his mother’s new house.

Characters:
Charlie Bergstrand (FearlessLeader19)
Keighley Anders (Kolyander)

“Detta är den sista lådan,’’ {“This is the last box.”} sixteen year old Charlie huffed out Keighley in Swedish, setting the white cardboard box containing his posters and assortment of trophies down carefully on the floor of his room. Not wanting to bother his mother, Char had traipsed his way up and down the stairs multiple times to retrieve his belongings from the living room where everything had all appeared when they had travelled by Portkey. And he was too much of a gentleman to let Keigh fetch any.

At least he had his strong Beater arms working for him so things could have been worse than being slightly out of breath. Charlie pushed his hair from his face. “What do you want to start with?” he asked, gazing fondly at Keighley. True to his word last Christmas, he was letting her help him decorate his new room.

*Kolyander* · 11-30-2022, 03:18 PM

When Charlie had told her that she could help him decorate him waaaay back during Christmas break, she believed him. And here Keighley was, standing in the middle of his brand new room in his new house while he brought up all the boxes. Not because she was lazy and didn't want to carry any but simply because HE wouldn't allow her to. Which in her opinion was quite silly as she was more than capable of carrying a couple of boxes up a flight of stairs. That wasn't important though, what was important here was the fact that Charlie was here now. He was here and no longer in Sweden.

Hearing Charlie come into the room behind her, Keighley turned around to face him and smiled. Over the course of the year her Swedish had gotten much better, however she still understood it much better than she spoke it. "Do you need a break first? At least to catch your breath?" The blonde smiled warmly at him, crossing the room to a box filled with trophies. "It might be best to get these sorted first and then we can figure out where you want all your posters to go."

FearlessLeader19 · 12-02-2022, 12:05 AM

In his defense, he preferred to lift the boxes anyway. His mother would strongly disapprove if he caught Keighley lifting any up the stairs. Charlie had figured that he’d give the girlfriend a little time to try to figure out where she wanted certain of his possessions to go. But yes. Him being much closer to Keighley now was so much more important. Thank the heavens his mother had taken the job here in the UK at that Observatory. Thank the heavens that she had wanted him to come along. Charlie would miss his father, his six siblings and life over in Sweden, however. He would miss his horse, Thunder. He would miss Durmstrang, the outdoor air of his home country and everything else.These were all grounds for him falling homesick if he wasn’t careful.

Speaking to Keighley in Swedish had become second nature to him. She was such a quick learner that her knowledge of the language had only gotten stronger. Charlie was so proud of her. “I’m alright.” It was true; being a Beater, being on the rowing team and benign overall athletic had its perks. “Thank you for always caring.” Char moved close to Keigh and leaned in to kiss her cheek. Then he peered into the box of trophies. “Kolla på den här." {"Look at this one.”} He plucked a shiny silver cup about seven inches in height from the mix. “I got third place in an MMA competition. I think I was a first year at the time.” This would certainly interest Keigh.

*Kolyander* · 12-07-2022, 04:21 PM

In his defense nothing. She was more than capable of carrying a few boxes up stairs to help him out and make the process go all that much quicker. If he had allowed her too. Surely his mum wouldn't have gotten too upset if Keigh told her that she really hadn't minded helping at all. Not that it mattered now anyhow, since all of the moving was already finished. She was going to get to partake in the fun part, unpacking. That sounded much easier to her anyhow.

The more Charlie spoke to her in Swedish, the more she picked up on it. Especially if it was something that he said to her often. She liked getting to learn a new language and now that he was going to be around all of the time, hopefully she would learn even more. Alright, we can take a break after." It shouldn't take them too long to set up his room. The smile on her face was bright when he kissed her cheek but before she could do anything he was looking at his trophies and calling her over. "Whoa, look at you! Are you trying to show me up in competitions now?" There was a playful gleam in her blue eyes and a teasing tone in her voice. "Do you compete anymore?" Now he had her curious about this. Of course she wanted to know all the things when it came to him and sports.

FearlessLeader19 · 12-10-2022, 02:33 PM

Of course his Little Sunflower was quite capable of carrying boxes up a flight of stairs. That doesn’t mean that she should be doing it. Char wouldn’t hear of it. Sorry, Keighley, if he agreed with his mother! Besides, he thought that she’d have more fun unpacking his belongings. It was just another way for her to get to know him better, by looking through his possessions.

One of the best things about Keigh learning Swedish was that it meant they could converse in the language and he’d have someone else to talk to in his native tongue rather than just his mother. This way, he could share part of his heritage with the girl he loved. “Muggar varm choklad ropar mitt namn.” {“Cups of hot chocolate are calling my name.”} Rosemary Bergstrand had made sure to bring along toppings for that from Sweden. Keighley’s words made him laugh. “As if!’’ Char replied, his accent very evident. “You’re the real MMA champion.” That was something he meant rather seriously. Keigh and her MMA skills always impressed him. “No. I’m too focused on Quidditch. I do take part for recreation at Durmstrang. Did. take part..” Since he would now be transferring to Hogwarts for his sixth and seventh years. “Where do you think we should put this, and the others?”

*Kolyander* · 12-11-2022, 02:21 PM

Did he know that he was ridiculous? Absolutely adorable but still.. ridiculous all the same. Keigh would let him have this win though. Mainly because she had been taking the time while he was bringing up all of the boxes to look around his room and familiarize herself with things.

She was looking forward to a summer of speaking lots of Swedish. And having him correct her even more. "Did you just say something about hot chocolate to me?" There was a slight questioning look on her face but her smile never faded. If he was mentioning hot cocoa, she was all in. A faint blush spread across her cheeks at his words. "I'm not that good, Char. Not yet, anyways." What she wouldn't give to be an MMA champion but the time and dedication that would take was somewhat out of grasp for her right now. Her education came first. She nodded in understanding. "Well you can still take part in it if you want.. with me. For either recreation or my training." Or both. And in return she could help him with his Quidditch. Maybe. Okay, probably not but the offer was always there.

As for the trophies they were meant to be putting around his room well.. the blonde took a second or two to look around once more. "Why don't we sort them all first? Group them together by sort and such so we can get a better idea of what you have and then we can see where they would look best?" That sounded like a good idea to her.

FearlessLeader19 · 12-13-2022, 11:19 PM

He was just going to let that slide because yes, Charlie Bergstrand just might be a little ridiculous. But he was going to continue being this gentlemanly boy. It couldn’t be helped as he had been raised this way. Besides, the guy was more than happy to treat Keighley as she deserved - like a little princess.

THe question made Charlie laugh heartily. But no, he wasn’t laughing at his girlfriend. “I did.’’ Sometimes he forgot she wasn’t that fluent in his mother tongue as yet. Oh, he did love her for trying so much though! “I said ‘cups of hot chocolate are calling my name.” That’s right. Multiple cups. When it came to that blush? It was the most adorable one he had ever seen. “Please don’t sell yourself short, Keigh,’’ Char said softly. “I’ve seen you at MMA; you’re amazing already. In my eyes, you’re the best.” He liked that offer and it was quickly accepted. “How about both? Bpth for training and for recreation?

“That’s a good idea. Back in Sweden, I simply mixed Quidditch and MMA together but only sorted them out by colour: gold, bronze or silver.’’ Char gave his sunflower a sheepish glance then carefully took to unpacking the box. The Quidditch/Flying trophies outnumbered the MMA ones. Soon enough, there were a little more than a dozen trophies of different heights sitting in a neat line on his bed. “I also have a few plaques but those, of course, have to be hung on the wall.” And Charlie stood there trying to look modest about his accomplishments.

*Kolyander* · 12-15-2022, 03:11 PM

Fine. Fine. Fiiiiiiiiiiiine. Keighley was going to let it all slide because he was Charlie. No reason other than that had to be given. If she was a princess than he was a prince. Done and done.

His laughter whether it was directed at her or not made her smile. No, she wasn't fluent in Swedish yet but she was working hard towards it. "Cups, hm?" she giggled along with him now. "You sound just like Jude. He loved hot cocoa too.. but then again so do I." How could she not? It was the perfect drink during the winter! "Oh, Charlie, I'm not doing any such thing. I'm simply being honest with you and with myself. While I'm really good at my chosen sport I still have a really long way to go to become a champion at it." She wasn't selling herself short, only being honest. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me though and and I'd really love that." The more training she got to do, the better.

"I can see how that would make things easier but.. I think it flows more neatly when it's separated?" Simply her opinion is all. Keigh watched him unpack each trophy and line them up on his bed her eyes wandered to each one, looking them all over in turn. A soft smile was sent his way as picked up the first one and moved it to where she thought it might look best in his room, followed by another and than another. "We can get all of those up on the wall as soon as we have these set out first?" This was his room so he could move anything that he wanted to if he didn't like where she was putting it.

FearlessLeader19 · 12-17-2022, 10:34 PM

Someday they would upgrade from prince and princess to king and queen.

This bit of information confirming Jude was something new to him. It was already known that Keighley loved hot chocolate; it was perhaps why his mind was so set on having a few cups. “I’ll keep that in mind about Jude,’’ Char remarked earnestly. Because he had already learnt that the Anders were rather close - something which he silently envied - and he wanted to know as much as possible about each of the family members. “I’ll make you how many cups you want, my little sunflower.’’ She'd always be his sunflower! Charlie was only telling it as he saw it: Keigh was amazing at MMA and he loved watching her. But he nodded, smiling softly. “I would like to think you have some activities planned for this summer then?” He’d like to attend all if possible!

Keighley didn’t think he was showing off. This was good because this Bergstrand boy really and truly hated anyone doing such a thing so why would he? He simply watched as his girlfriend did her thing. He tilted his head, watching her every move. In actuality, his attention was more on her than where his possessions were being placed. “Mhm. I think so too.” What needed to be hung up? Right! The plaques. “We can do the posters afterwards.” Char grabbed two trophies and took them over to Keighley. “I have a huge one of Thunder. I really hope you can meet him someday.”
