POV Cammie
About 2 months ago
I wake up. I feel arms around my chest and I smile. Kara is really cute when she's asleep. She is always cute actually. I try to move careful in order to not waking her up. She groans in her sleep. I stand up and walk to the kitchen. It is 2 a.m. It has been a week since I came back from Spain and I still didn't managed to sleep well. I need to talk with Kara but I don't know what to tell. For now I mostly need to sleep. I grab a glass in the closet and take some fresh water in the fridge. I sit on the couch. I am exhausted but I just can't sleep. There is too much in my mind.
- Babe... Are you ok?
I blench.
- Hey, I just can't get to sleep, did I woke you up? I am sorry...
- I just had a nightmare where you disappeared and I woke up... And you weren't in my arms anymore so I was kinda worry... What is going on?
- Nothing (I am not proud to lie but I can't explain myself in the middle on the night). I guess I'm still jetlag, that's it...
- Yeah, whatever...
She doesn't believe me and I won't argue. She is not stupid. She goes back to sleep without a word. When I come back to the bed, she is turned on her side.
I am making breakfast for Kara and I. She is preparing herself in the bathroom and I took this opportunity to make her something nice. I spend hours thinking last night and I reach a point where nothing but being fully honest is the best I can tell. My girlfriend is getting out of the bathroom. She is half naked and I can tell you...she is terribly hot. She smirks at me and I can't help but walk to her and give her a deep kiss. What happens next... well, you know it. We are finally taking breakfast after an intense and really nice moment. I want to talk, openheart but everything I do is staying as silent as a dead body in his grave.

- Spill it out Cam, what's going on?
- I...
She seems so calm, almost as if she doesn't care. I look at her more carefully, I see in her eyes that she is concerned....
- Babe, what is going on? Are you okay?
- Yeah, I just...
- Is it something with your family?
- no, there're good...
- Any problem with your friends?
- No...
- Is it your work?
- No...
She stops herself, take a big breath. I am almost crying and I can tell she is too.
- Is it about us?
- I...
- Cam, you scare me, what is going on?
- I love you Kara, I really do
- I love you to... what is happening?
I take her hands in mines and start to talk. It is one of the most difficult things I had to do in my life... I caress her cheek with my thumb, making her smile.
- I love you, you are just amazing, and beautiful, clever, and funny and you're perfect... We've been together since almost three years and you make me happier every day. I love everything about you, I mean... look at you!
I see some excitement in her eyes and then I realize that my declaration looks like a proposal. I stop myself. What am I doing? I believe everything I said, but in a way, it is a lie. I just push further the thing I want to tell her.
- I cheated on you...
One second, a million years... Two heartbroken women watching at each other. One is crying, the other is too chocked to understand what just happened. Kara let go Cammie's hand and stands up.
I see Kara going away from me.
- What did you just say?
- I cheated on you, I...

- Who is it? Who is this whore you fucked with?
- I didn't have sex with anyone but you...
- I don't understand...
- I cheated on you, I kissed someone else, and hold her hand...
She sit down on the carpet. She is angry, and disappointed, and heartbroken. A tear is rolling on her cheek, the same cheek I cuddle with my hand just two minutes ago. The silence is heavy, I don't want to talk but I need to explain myself. I breath and...
- I don't want to know...
- Kara I am sorry I...
- I don't want to know...
- Please let me explain.
She gives me a glare, and finally nod her head. I am shaking.
- I have been thinking about it all week, maybe I started earlier. I don't know how to explain that...
- Do you love me?
- Of course I do Kara, I love you... I truly love you?
- So why did you kiss that girl? Do I know her?
How much can I be honest? At this point I don't know what to say. I feel terrible.
- You wanted to speak so now be honest with me Cammie.
- It's Shannon...
- ..............................
5 minutes passed and she didn't say a word, neither did I. She starts walking in the apartment, like a lion in cage. It lasts for what seem an eternity and then stop.
- Do you love her?
- Yes...
- Do you love me?
- Yes...
She starts walking again. I don't know what to do. I don't know if she wants to yell at me or go punch something really hard. Sometime she gives me glares that make my blood freeze. She is furious and I am terrified about what she is gonna say. She walks through the door and slam it. She leaved. Just like it... She leaved...

Aethernum—Cradle of Yore
Diary Number 999, year I-don't-care, location home. Parenting. Of all I've found clear answers except for this most mundane topic. And not for the lack of trying. My library, so humongous my good friends told me one after the other there is no book it doesn't contain helped little. There are crumbling tomes of ancient magic, vocabularies depicting the evolution of the magical language itself, grimoires and holy bibles of cults long past, rows and rows filled with scrolls bearing the efforts of my magical research, contracts, diaries, letters and more. But parenting? There was none. Yet a struggle nearly every member of the Races is not foreign to. I...must have lived under a rock. Across aeons no less. What a humbling revelation.

Arachnids ; BW
"You forgetting anything?" Her husky voice rasped at me, pushing back the lump in her throat. My eyes began to water as I looked down to the ground, watching a small ant crawl by my shoe. One foot was inside the small apartment we had shared and the other, the other was planted firmly on the cement step outside. Her words echoed around in my head. Am I forgetting anything? I was forgetting you I wanted to reply. Home to me was always a person. And now.... I was homeless. [-]Black Widow x ReaderParker!Reader(GxG)
