"You're damn adorable." Sofia insisted, especially when he was all sleepy like this. She hated but loved that he had stayed here all night, smiling against him as he held her close. Sofia was dead on her feet, it had been a long night, but thankfully Gabe had made it so much easier. Knowing he was only down the hall if she needed a moment. Not that she'd had much time for that tonight. "Oh I am definitely putting them on the fridge when we get home, maybe when you get to five gold stars I'll give you a treat." She said suggestively moving her eyebrows up and down with a cheeky smile forming on her lips.

"You know as a kid, I was once so tired that I fell asleep in my ice cream. I feel this morning might be that again, I just fall asleep in my pancakes." She teased, but she had to admit she felt close to that happening. Her feet were throbbing, her back ached, and her stomach was begging for some food. "Right, I'll meet you down in the lobby in an hour, okay? Then I'm all yours, and my man can have some food and some loving. You really didn't need to stay here all night." Sofia said, trailing a few more kisses against his lips. She knew no matter how many times she told him he didn't need to, he would do it. Especially when he didn't have work in the morning. "We'll get out of here quick before my parents get in, because you know they'll stand and talk forever."

Gabe leaned back in his chair, watching the way Sofia’s tired smile still managed to light up the cramped break room. “Cute?” he smirked, his voice low as he let his gaze linger on her. “I don’t know, you’ve got a pretty strong monopoly on that one.” Her fingers in his hair made him exhale slowly, almost melting right there, but he kept his arm wrapped snug around her waist, refusing to let her go just yet. “I’ll take the gold stars,” he said with a grin, “but only if you actually put them on the fridge when we get home. I want proof.” The thought of home hit him harder than expected. Too many nights he’d been there without her, scrolling through his phone like it would magically conjure her into the room. Having her pressed against him now felt like something he’d been missing without even realizing how much.

He listened to her run through the chaos of her shift, his hand absentmindedly tracing slow circles against her back. “An hour, huh? I think I can survive that long if I’ve got you right here,” he murmured. Her stomach growled again and he chuckled, leaning in so his lips brushed her ear. “That diner better have a backup kitchen ready. You’re about to put them out of business.” When she offered the idea of takeout in bed, his brows lifted, and a slow smile spread across his face. “You know me, I can rally for pancakes at any hour. But…” he tugged her a little closer, “the idea of you curled up in my bed, half-asleep with a plate of bacon? That’s dangerously tempting.” He pressed a quick kiss to her temple before pulling back just enough to meet her eyes. “Alright. As soon as you’re off, we’re heading out, or heading home with enough food to feed an army. Your choice. But I’m warning you, if we do the bed option, you’re not getting rid of me for the rest of the day.”

Sofia couldn't get enough of him, she had thought about him for so many months, the late night video calls, talking when she had a moment. It had been torture, not being able to be with him in person. Her hand dancing along his cheek as she looked in to his eyes, just being with him made time stand still. "You have no idea how hard it was to keep this a secret." She beamed as they started to walk, never letting go of his hand, wanting to be as close as possible to him, nuzzling in to his side as they took the familiar path home. Home. God she couldn't wait to get home, to be in her own bed with Gabe, to have all of her creature comforts again. She squealed as he pulled her on to his lap, her eyes never leaving him as she took in every part of him. "You know, you're much more handsome in real life, my memory wasn't doing you justice." She teased as she played with his hair, trailing soft kisses against him as she spoke. "Good, I don't want to leave. I just want to be here with you. Now come on, fill me in on everything. The apartment cleans so that's good, you've not fallen in to the bachelor depressive lifestyle." She teased, leaving him she did worry, because she knew what it was like. Coming home to an empty apartment, being lovesick.

Gabe couldn’t stop looking at her, couldn’t stop drinking in the way her eyes lit up when she smiled at him, the way her touch lingered like she was afraid he’d vanish if she let go. He kept one arm snug around her waist, the other brushing her hair back so he could see her face clearly, memorizing every detail all over again. Her teasing pulled a low laugh from him, his thumb tracing slow circles against her side. “Yeah,” he said, grinning at her. “Best in my life. Bike doesn’t even come close.” And when she whispered that she wanted to be anywhere with him, something in his chest tightened, an ache he hadn’t even realized he’d been carrying finally easing. He bent to kiss her again, slower this time, savoring the warmth of her mouth, the way she melted into him like she’d always belonged there. “Come on,” he murmured, brushing his lips against her temple before taking her hand. He didn’t let go as they stepped out past the school grounds, walking side by side through the quiet streets until they reached his apartment. He tossed his keys on the counter and drew her in again for one more kiss before pulling his phone from his pocket. “You’re not kidding about the takeout,” he said, tapping through delivery apps. “In-N-Out, pancakes, bacon, syrup, got it. And I’ll throw in a couple things I know you’ll like. We’ll make it a feast.” He set the phone down and sat beside her, pulling her into his lap without asking, his arms locking around her like they might never part again. “You’re not going anywhere tonight,” he said quietly, pressing a kiss into her hair. “Not tomorrow either. I’ve got you now, and I’m not letting go.”

Callum complained that he was the only carrying the bags and what not, but he didn't mind. He knew that was part of a) being a dad and b) being a girl dad and a boyfriend. He smiled as he watched Izzy being amazed by the creatures and shook his head softly as she suggested that he goes to explore on his own.

"No, no. I want to learn too." He smiled as he perched himself on the edge of a rock for the time being, happy to just sit back and watch the two of them. They had such a bond with one another, and most times he just sat back and watched, because they were like one person. Izzy followed Asteria everywhere when she was around, it was adorable to see. He was relieved that she had a woman in her life, for a while he worried she was just going to be stuck with him forever. Izzy tugging at Asteria's shirt as she pointed to everything she wanted to know more about.

Asteria adored Izzy—not just loved her, but cherished the way her entire face lit up with unfiltered joy whenever the topic of sea creatures came up. The Greek woman’s lips curved into a soft chuckle as she trailed behind Izzy, who was already hurrying toward a shallow tidal pool. Kneeling beside her, Asteria began to speak in that calm, lilting voice of hers, describing the tiny, resilient forms of life that thrived in such quiet waters—delicate shells, darting fish fry, and glistening fronds of seaweed swaying with the tide.

Izzy’s eyes shone with wonder, her attention completely absorbed, as if the whole world had been reduced to that single shimmering pool. Asteria glanced over her shoulder toward Callum, a knowing smile tugging at her lips.

“Why don’t you go explore and come back later?” she suggested warmly. “I have a feeling she’s going to be here for quite some time.” She let out another quiet laugh, the kind that carried both amusement and fondness, before turning her attention back to the little explorer at her side.

"Well it's hard to choose when there's so many. I just put the sports channel on most of the time." He confessed, that and the news. But Natasha had scolded him a few times for being too glued to the news, mainly because it just made him angry. "You're video calling people?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and wondered who. "Old habits die hard, not tracking anyone right now but -- options there if I need to."

She couldn’t help giggling softly. “Well no one said you had to watch all of the tv stations.” Rebecca couldn’t resist teasing him a little. “The phones aren’t that bad once you figure out how to use them. Being able to video call is pretty cool though.” The brunette admitted. “Why do you need to track people down?” She gave him a confused look.

[enchantedlives]

Bucky smiled, he knew if he called Natasha at any time, she would be there. So would he with her. He had been avoiding so many things about his past, but now with Rebecca here, he knew he had to start and face them. "Maybe I'll suggest it to her one day, relive us being kids, go to the park and then -- well then go and see -- see mom and dad."

“I know, but now you have a good reason to do it.” Natasha assured him. “It could be cathartic for both of you.” She pointed out. “And if it gets to be too much, just call or text me. I’ll be there.” The redhead smiled warmly at him.

[enchantedlives]

All of this was a lot harder than Callum wanted to admit, because he knew he fucked up. He knew he should never had pushed Peggy away, not only for himself, but for Izzy. Seeing her again, it was like a stab in the heart and it was all his fault.

"She really is." Callum smiled as he looked at Izzy putting on her shoes. "I can't take the credit for that though, I think she's a lot of her mom. Anyway you guys -- have fun."

They were left alone and Peggy found herself floundering again. As happy as she was to spend time with Izzy, even if only to give the little girl closure, it still was so incredibly painful to look at her father. She'd loved him, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, she still did.

"Of course," she answered with a sigh. And in that moment, she knew that no matter what, she do anything for the little girl, regardless of her relationship with him. "She's a great kid, Callum."

[enchantedlives]

"What can I say? I've met a lot of charmers, sometimes you've got to cut through it and call them out." She teased, in the past she had been won over by charm, it was hard to differentiate if the charm was genuine or if it was just to get their way with her. "Well I'm not on call, and I don't have to be at work tomorrow. So having a hangover is just something I'll deal with tomorrow. It's tomorrow's problem. Usually it's ordering takeout breakfast and passing out on the couch." She confessed with a smile as they headed in to the bar. It had been a long day, and she just wanted to let loose a little bit. "I'll happily carry you home. I promise I won't go too crazy, at least not to dancing on the tables level of drunk. Maybe just trying to cutely beat you at darts level."

He chuckled, clearly amused by her no-nonsense attitude. “Straight to the point, huh? I like that,” he said, his eyes lingering on hers with a spark of intrigue. “Dangerous trait though… honesty. Especially when it’s that sharp. Might just cut right through all my carefully crafted charm.” He took a step closer, the corners of his mouth twitching into a grin. “A beer girl, huh? That’s sexy in a very dangerous kind of way. And tequila? Damn, you’re not playing around. Should I be worried, or just start prepping the hangover kit now?” Reaching toward the bar, he added with a teasing glance, “Alright, alright—I hear you loud and clear. Let me rescue you from this thirsty crisis. But fair warning… if you’re leading with beer and ending with tequila, you might have to carry me home.”

[enchantedlives]

Sofia couldn't stop smiling because she knew how much this meant to him, and how excited he was for it. If she could get the time off work then she would do it. He was passionate about his work, just like she was, and she wanted to support him. "So you'll be close to home to start with?" She asked with a smile and played with his hair softly. "Italy for a whole month? I'll make it happen, that sounds -- it sounds amazing, baby. I'm so proud of you. I know this a big deal for you. So tell me about the role? What is it? Will I get to run lines with you?"

"Okay so," he started with a bright grin on his lips guiding her to the couch. "It's all still in prep but it should be a two month gig, maybe three if we need it. They plan on filming starting in a month if all goes well. Nothing solid. They said I'd heard from producers and the AD's-- which I'm not even sure if they've hired the AD's yet? Maybe the first?" He rambled. "Main unit filming will be here in New York but then we travel to Italy for a whole month."

[enchantedlives]

Callum hadn't expected that one day he would be in a long distance relationship, the two of them meeting whilst she was in town for a few weeks, and she was at one of his calls out. But here they were, and he wouldn't change it. Well he could change it to her being here all the time, but he was willing to make this work.

"Hi sweetheart." He smiled as he laid down on the couch as he saw her appear on the screen. "Nice and cosy, you're starting your day, I'm ending mine." He chuckled, every day he tried his best to stay awake so that they could video call, seeing her face at the end of the day was perfect. "Didn't pass out tonight though, I couldn't miss two nights in a row not seeing you." He insisted, he had been on call for the past four days, so it meant he hadn't been around for many calls, and last night he had fallen asleep before he had chance to speak to her.

Long distance relationships had never been something Peggy even considered. She'd always thought that she'd rather break something off long before she ever had to try to make it work. That was before she'd met Callum. And so here they were.

Thankfully for her, Callum made it as easy as possible-- and worthwhile. She felt her face light up as the call connected, holding up the phone as she pours herself a cup of coffee to get ready for the day. "Hi, Call," she greets him. "I'm alright. You? You look cozy."

This was Callum's idea of heaven, spending the weekend by the beach, his daughter playing away with Asteria. Though he was pretty much forgotten about when Asteria was around, the two were stuck together like glue. "Oh now you want my help?" He teased as Izzy reached for him as they looked around the rock pools, lifting her to help her move around them. "Look Iz, look!" He said as he saw something in the water and placing her down carefully, smiling as she ushered over to his girlfriend and clinging on to her hand, asking a thousand questions. Callum standing there trying to keep his six foot frame balanced on the rocks whilst carrying the bags.

"Cats?" Bucky asked with a raised eyebrow, that wasn't quite what he had been expecting, but in a way she was right. His eyes softened for a moment, he knew he had been lucky, he had a family. And for a long time he couldn't remember them, but now he could, he cherished every memory he could cling on to. "I know it was real to Natasha, you were her sister, always will be. And Alexei he -- he loves you like a daughter, so I think maybe it was real for all of you."

"We are violent cats." Yelena said. "We're all violent even Bob." She said. "I wouldn't know." She said. "Melina did maybe a good job, but it could all have been an act hard for me to know." It was the shifting through of things that she had believed for the longest time to be her life not to be it anymore. She still did consider them family, but it was hard to figure out what was lies and what was the truth.

sofia smirked, she had a lot of bad hangovers, and bad decisions because of shots. sometimes she just didn't know when to stop. "tequila every time." she smiled as they started walking. "but hey, if you're not in to the crazy shot game, we can just sit and have a beer. i won't expose you to crazy dancing on the tables sofia just yet."

"it's not my thing, it's just a little bit more tolerable. it'll still contribute to the bad decisions but at least it takes like liquorice and not gas." malik shoved his hands into his pockets and glanced over to her. "really? what's your favourite then?" he had never been much of a shot guy himself, preferring something he could sit with, something a bit slower, steadier.

[enchantedlives]

sofia got lost in the feel of his lips, the way his hands roamed across her body. everything that had happened in the day, in the week, was a distant memory. "oh yeah? is that a fantasy of yours?" she teased when he said she should call him a doctor at this rate. "i'm all yours baby." she whispered against his lips, her body resting against him after what seemed like the worlds longest shower. the post carnal glow as she leans against him, the water still running down on them as she caught her breath. "well maybe you really do know my body better than i do." she smirked and turned around to kiss him. "i love you, baby."

caesar wasn't always a horndog with sex on the brain, but he hasn't seen sofia in a few days because she's been stuck at the hospital. and the sight of her body, soaking wet; it's absolutely irresistible for him. a smirk stretched onto his face as he gazed into her eyes. " you know why. i know your body as well as you do. maybe even better. you might as well call me the doctor, " caesar teases before his hands move to grab at her ass, pulling her body more into his. the slight tug at his lip has him moaning, desire building more and more with every passing second. it's obvious that he wants her and that he's leaning towards things getting a bit more intimate between them. " i was thinking the same thing about you. you're so fucking hot. i want you so bad, baby, " he admits before his lips are coming forward to crash into hers all over again.
