Life After The Happily Ever After

Fluff Part 3: Protective Partner (Vee & Masha)

(In the Human world)

It was a friday afternoon, and Camila was currently preparing dinner with Vee. Every friday since Luz started college the three of them plus Amity and Masha would get together for a family dinner. Normally Luz would be helping them but for some reason both her and Amity were late.

Vee kept glancing at the clock, "They're very late today."

Camila looked at the clock as well and saw that her adoptive daughter was right. "Well Luz probably got caught up with school work."

"Are you worried?" Vee asked.

Camila shook her head, "No, I'm sure they're fine!"

The doorbell rings.

"Come in!" Camila yelled.

The door opened and Masha walked in, "Hello, Nocedas!"

"Masha! You're here." Vee stopped and ran to hug her partner.

Masha returned the hug, "Where's the married couple?"

"Running late..." Camila replied.

As if on cue Luz and Amity arrived, "Sorry we're late." Luz yelled as she walked in.

"Did something happen?" Vee asked.

Amity nodded, "Yeah, when we came through the portal we found a bunch of these." Amity went into her bag and dumped a bunch of contraptions on the table.

Camila walked over to the table and saw the contraptions. "Are these what I think they are?"

Amity nodded, "Yep, traps."

"And we know who set them..." Luz chimed in.

Vee's expression dropped which concerned Masha.

Camila sighed and rubbed her temples, "Jacob again..."

Both Amity and Luz nodded.

Masha immediately recognized that name "Jacob? That weird conspiracy guy who thinks witches came from Mars?" they asked.

"Yeah," Luz answered, "He trapped Vee in one of these a long time ago and every once in a while after that he tries to set them up by the portal. Hoping he'll be able to catch her or someone from the Boiling Isles."

Masha looked at Vee with worry in their eyes, "Jacob knows what you are?"

"Well kinda, he knows that my kind exists but he doesn't know what my human form looks like."

Masha relaxed a little hearing that but was still concerned

Camila came up to Masha and placed a hand on their shoulder, "I'll explain it all to you later, for now let's eat."

Masha nodded and they all started to eat. After they finished dinner they sat at the table and talked for the next hour. After a while Luz and Amity went back to the Boiling Isles and Masha and Vee cuddled on Camila's couch. As Camila was cleaning up the kitchen at some point Vee fell asleep with her head on Masha's chest with Masha running their fingers through Vee's hair. Masha however kept thinking about what they were told earlier. The fact that Jacob not only knew what Vee but he was also actively trying to catch her. Just the thought of him doing that made thier blood boil.

"You okay?" Masha heard Camila ask.

Masha nodded their head, "Hey, how often does Jacob try to set traps by the portal?"

"This is the first time in a while he's tried. That's kinda why Vee never told you about what happened back then. We thought he gave up."

"So what exactly happened?" Masha asked
