Sweeney was the leprechaun who wanted his life back, Lorelyn was the siren who wanted her family back. Both had what the other wanted in a way but there was once thing that always got in the way...lucky love. But will they move past that and end up...
A few days later Shadow had decided to take the night shift so Laura was on the day but I wasn't taking no for an answer when she thought I'd stick to bed.
When she wasn't looking, i stopped the tubes and pulled them out before swinging my legs over the side and using the metal stand for stability. I took a deep breath and leaned onto my feet for the first time in a few days.
Once I was stable, I stumbled to the kitchen which caught Laura's attention harshly "are you trying to sneak around me? That shit will blow up in your face" I smirked "nah, I've got 'super ninja training'. I'm just going to the kitchen"
I was planning to do something for the devil that crept in my bed when he was on shift, he was being so good about me being out of action. Mark was never there while I was out of commission so I'd thought all guys were never there but it seems I was wrong.
I'd had this really 'sweet' plate idea that even though I'm meant to be inactive, hopefully Laura would allow me my plate. "Lore, your meant to be bed-bound. This-this isn't bed-bound"
I gave her a quick smile "technically I'm not leaving the apartment so I am 'resting' still. Oh c'mon Laura, we both know I'm well enough to be out of bed!" She leaned against the counter "you're cooking for him aren't you?" I opened my mouth to object but she was right on point, I couldn't help but blush like a school girl with a crush "that face - that face says everything, we're doing this!"
We blasted our favourite tunes, and baked two sets of the meal. One for her man, and one for mine. She helped me lay it out on the coffee table "you think he'll like it?"
She gapped at me "Of course he'll like it! I love it! I'm resisting the temptation to eat his or shadows!" I smiled mischievously "wanna make two more?" We got to work cooking ones for ourselves adding extra things we shouldn't of added if we wanted to keep our health
"I can't believe I'm flustered over a guy I met in a bar brawl" we couldn't help but giggle at the situation we were in, Wednesday was currently out of town talking to another god or something and here we were acting like little children when their mother, or father in this case, is out of town.
We prepared the apartment then that's where she cut the fun line and sent my ass back to the bed. She brought over both plates as I settled in "You really need to bring out those short-ass dresses you had back when we first met, Sweeney might like that?"
I had to clench my jaw to stop myself from bursting into fits of laughter "you mean back when I was the queen of all men? C'mon, you know I threw those out the second Wednesday found out I had them"
she gave me an 'oh really?' look "did you?" I bit my lip "nah! Just shoved them further into the back" I bit into a muffin as Laura hooked the tubes back into me "so what's his 'move'?"
I blushed heavily "literally the coins" I plucked a coin out from under my pillow and tossed it aside "Wait! So when you two screw, you wake up to a bed of gold? Not literally" I nodded and offered her one giving her the message that we involved the bed we were in now.
"Lore!" I shrugged "Laura! You and shadow - everywhere in that house" she smiled and buried her face in the sheets forgetting we used the bed. Once we were done, I enjoyed the comfort of not moving in the soft sheets.
Laura had taken home her meal that we made and the leprechaun's rested sweetly on the table still warm and filling the room with a calming milky scent. Just as I was about to close my eyes, the mad man burst through the door swearing to whoever was down the corridor

"Laura can confirm, I never left the bed all day" he spun around giving me a charming smile "Hi." I tilted my head "a lullaby only works so many times" i shoved my head further into the pillows as he spotted the feast that awaited him "thank you, although i thought i told you to stay in bed" I shrugged
"Can't really prove I moved from here, no cameras, I am where you left me. Laura won't say any different, you can arrest me if I'm wrong" I watched as he munched on the doughnut smirking and scanning the surroundings "I thought you deserved a night off" he gestured to me happily "this is my 'night off' - with you. I like what you've done with the place"
I peered around "'laura' ran out of things to do, I must've bored her to death" I threw him a coin "'we' need to be careful"
He finished up and strolled over to me "'we'? I thought I was the coin master?" I scooped up a load of his gold in my fist and attempted to sprinkle them like he did usually
"Ooh the leprechaun strikes again!" he kissed my forehead "nice try, but it's a little more like this" he grabbed a glass and dropped endless coins in until it was full then poured the golden glass onto my head "And there goes my 'pot of gold'"
Flustered as I was, it didn't stop me from wondering where he actually kept the thing "so, 'Mrr Leprechaun', where do you really keep your 'pot of gold'?" He threw his jacket onto me and slipped onto the other side of the bed
"Ah, nothing slips past you does it? Take a gander?" I thought really hard and came up with the most conceivable answer "the horde?" I could see I'd got it right and also knew I would never see it
"lucky guess?" He shuffled around "where do you keep the bodies of the men you drown?" I cocked my head "where do you think?" He stared into my eyes searching my soul "some moat or the ocean?" I shook my head sadly "the pond behind my cottage, most choose their coves which just ends up as a stack of bodies rotting. They decomposed in the pond at least?"
He jokingly went to get up but I pulled his arm "we can't all be winners" he pressed a kiss to my lips which slowly turned into a make out, we both still had the energy to exercise our love for one another.
All I knew of the next day is that Laura wanted me to attend some sort of exercise class with a friend of hers, she said she would do it but then they'll see the stitches where her arms were sewn back on, I decided to forget all of that and make some gold coins.
