[GYO Drabble] His Scarlett
Title: His Scarlett
Fandom: Sanctuary/The Vampire Diaries for G:YO
Characters: Caroline Forbes, Will Zimmerman, Helen Magnus
For: silensy who is sick
Maybe he should wait for her birthday for something like this, but he really didn't care. He'd found it yesterday and Caroline had spent enough time waiting for her parents to notice her, to care about the things she cared about, to care about her.
So when she came home from work that afternoon, two chilled root beers sat on the table next to a big bowl of vanilla ice cream, Helen's antique ice cream scoop angled out of it (because somehow even in Gotham, his girlfriend needed to stock her kitchen with every gadget known to chef, no matter that he had no idea what to do with ninety percent of them, and who needed a gold-plated grapefruit spoon in a city where grapefruit was more of a luxury than the spoon, even with their replicator rations). Beside it, he'd set two neatly wrapped packages. The larger one he'd been sitting on, because it needed to go with something like the smaller that he'd just found.
Will actually sat on the kitchen counter, feet swinging like an obnoxious (Helen would've said adorable, probably, unless she was in a bad mood and then she'd have scowled at him for sitting on the counter at all) teenager, waiting for Caroline. He broke into a broad bright grin at her wide eyes, the hand on her upper chest and that completely Caroline look like she'd burst into tears if you pricked her with a pin.
"What...what's this for, Will? It's not my birthday, I mean you don't have to wait for my birthday because I always like presents but..." Then she ran out of words and he hopped down and hugged her.
"Just open them, okay? The ice cream's going to melt if you wait much longer."
Caroline didn't need any more prompting. She started with the larger and screwed up her face in a half-scowl, half-laugh when the bamboo paper gave way to a folded up curtain in exactly the shade Scarlett had used. "Will..." He smirked, she shook her head, and then tore into the next package.
When it turned out to be an unopened limited edition video version of Gone With the Wind she just looked at him for a minute solid, and he knew her well enough to know she was deciding what to say, not wanting to say the wrong thing. "You didn't have to do this. It was on Gothamflix and it's unopened and you already bought me the book..."
Will just smiled and scooped up the ice cream. "I'm pretty sure Scarlett would want you to have it."
