#fluffy christmas😊🥰🥰🥰

[kisses4kaia]

merry christmas to all who celebrate and happy holidays!! thinking about bringing art home for the holidays 😼❤️🎄

he was so cute, you couldn’t help but notice. his shy smile while your mother drowned him in compliments and pinched his cheeks warmed your heart. his little nose was rosey from the chilly brisks of air whispering past you guys every once in a while.

“is she like this with everyone?” art turns and whispers to you once your mother becomes preoccupied with a newly arrived guest to her proudly hosted christmas party. “yes, but only with the really cute ones,” you kiss him on his cheek and he grins, pulling you closer to him by your waist.

you spend the rest of the evening with art on your arm, introducing him to your family and family friends, and you notice he gets along really well with your little sister. “can he stay for the rest of the break, please?” you hear her sweet little voice ask your mother after she had ‘cooked’ art in mario kart (he let her win).

it was hard to keep yourself from cheesing. he was so great, so perfect with your family and caring and handsome and gentle.

so leaning against a doorframe, you watch as art talks with a beer in his hand with your dad, making a joke that makes your pa laugh. watching him be yours, you really could not be more content.

smiling as he walks over to you, you wrap your arms around his neck as he pulls you into his grasp, kissing you sweetly, softly. “what was that for, slick?” you say, smiling so hard your cheeks hurt.

“look up.” art whispers, and so you glance upward, and sure enough, there’s a mistletoe pinned up that brushes the tips of his hair due to his towering height. “what were you talking to pa about?” you ask gently, resting your head upon his chest, returning to your people watching.

“my intentions with you,” he sighs, contentedly. you raise your eyebrows at this. “yeah? and?” you wait expectantly for his reply, and he chuckles richly, kissing the top of your head. “he’s happy with me,” he admits, and it settles warmly on your mind.

“i love you.” he kisses you again, and you sigh happily. “mhm, me too, artie.”

What the boys got you for christmas 😍🎄‼️

Notes: Just a little something for christmas 😭👍🏾 i haven’t written anything else lately cause of work but that armin angst is still coming! But yeah, still merry Christmas!

Context: The following aot boys x black!fem reader. (not proofread😭)

Warnings: fluff aside from couple of cuss words and mention of getting high on plug!connie’s part

Characters: Armin, Eren, Connie, Jean and Reiner Bonus!: Nerd Armin and Plug!Connie

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Armin:

- Armin is so sweet.. From the moment u met him u knew he was a soft bookworm with a kind heart. He asked you to be his on valentine’s day by writing a letter confessing his feelings.

- You were happy to be his fr and you were really excited when y’all’s first christmas together came around.

- You got him this limited edition old dictionary, one of those fake aquariums from the 2000s, a fancy microscope and the entirety of his favorite book series.

- However when Christmas came and it was his turn you couldn’t have been more surprised.

- He got you multiple cute chanel coats and purses, a box of your favorite chocolate, a box of miss dior and an entire macbook😭😭😭

- “ARMIN?!?” You exclaim. “Since when ever was you rich????!?”

- And the boy just smiled at you and said he saved a bunch of money from his job but you didn’t really believe it.

- He also spent the whole day watching christmas movies and taking taking cute pictures together with you😚❤️❤️

Eren:

- You and Eren got officially together on Halloween after a party so you guys were still kinda new and tryna feel each other out.

- You knew he liked working out so you just got him some gray sweatpants, some protein crap and one of those flannel hoodies.

- This boy ended up getting you some uggs and one of those “The tote bag” bags and a bunch of bath and body work stuff

- He even got all your favorite scents, aw❤️

- Eren acted like he didn’t always listen or pay attention but he clearly was the whole time and it made your heart melt🥹

- Eren didn’t wanna do the sappy shit he did but he sure wasn’t gonna show it right now so he just hopped on the game and you happily watched for the rest of the day.

Connie:

- Connie and you spent yall first christmas together as not really a couple but that weird talking stage thing. You still counted tho cause you might as well be his gf🤷🏾‍♀️

- Connie was a goof ball fr so you didn’t really know what to get him. When it came down to the serious emotional stuff y’all just joked yall way out of it and so it was this weird limbo ish going on

- You settled on a nike jacket and a gift card to his favorite restaurant. You felt so bad cause it seemed like bare minimum but Connie was excited regardless!

- He said it’s the “thought that counts🥰😊” and all you could say after a few seconds was “Moral of the story headass..” and yall just busted out laughing

- Connie ended up getting you the brown faux jacket you saw and wanted from burlington, some pearl earrings and a necklace and a visa gift card with-

- “How much money is on here Con?”

- “$500.😗”

- WHAT?!!!2!@/

- You were expecting $50 or even $100 but $500? Half a band?

- “Yeah i didn’t know what to get u so…😗have fun!”

- You hugged him so hard and accidentally said he was the best boyfriend ever but when you pulled away to quickly apologize he just shushed you and said, “Anything for my beautiful girlfriend😌..”

Jean:

- You and jean got together in the summer after school let out. Jean didn’t talk much like Eren but he was a goof ball like Connie especially when he was around him.

- You didn’t have much to work with embarrassingly. It was gonna be y’all’s 6 month anniversary on christmas but you barely knew a thing about him!!

- You ended up getting him some polo club cologne, airpods and a plain black hoodie.

- When Christmas came around you received some jewelry, some of the makeup you use and a cute brown fluffy teddy bear 🧸❤️

- Y’all had a very chill christmas, Jean wanted to go for a walk so you went with naturally and y’all ended up witnessing a beautiful sunset❤️

Reiner:

- You and Reiner got together in spring. He asked you out by bringing you a bunch of flowers in a bouquet which was definitely on theme for spring time..

- Reiner also stayed to himself a little bit more but he was more open with you so you had a good idea of what he liked.

- You got you and him some matching pjs to wear for the holiday. You got him a couple of books since sometimes he would read, a fancy shaving kit, a couple of turtlenecks and a photo album of you guys first year together❤️

- You were really proud and happy of your gifts but then you saw he didn’t get you anything other than a bunch of replacements for the hair products you use.

- “Hold on i think i put your other gift over here….close your eyes real quick..”

- You sighed and closed your eyes. You prayed he wasn’t gonna put anything together out of nowhere. You were kinda disappointed but it was ok.

- You heard shuffling and then you could tell when he was right in front of you.

- “Ok, open.”

- When you opened your eyes yoy immediately took everything back.. what you saw was a kneeling reiner on one knee holding a gorgeous diamond ring 💍😍

- For christmas he gave you a proposal!!!

- Even though it was kinda early, to be honest you two were talking for a lil minute anyways so it still felt like proper timing.

- You guys planned your wedding for christmas eve as spent the rest of that day cuddling with him watching Christmas themed sit-comes

Bonus:

Nerd!Armin:

- You knew Nerd!Armin since you two were kids and over time feelings developed.. then it naturally blossomed into a relationship. It was kinda weird because as you two grew up you guys just slowly became girlfriend and boyfriend.

- Nerd!Armin had always been a bit brainy and a major science fan so it wasn’t hard to get him anything at all.

- You got him a brand new pc, plentyyyy of books especially the sci-fi types and some weird graphic tees.

- He smiled with his braces and handed you a louis vuitton purse that had some louis vuitton jewelry and perfume inside. Also a soft blanket with your favorite design/character on it, Dior makeup items and chocolates.

- “Where did you get the money to buy this? Cause all i see you do is watch youtube and science shit-“ You questioned in surprise.

- “Stocks..”

- You just shrugged cause you had no idea on what he was talking about but you were just happy this silly brainiac was yours for the holiday 🫶🏾

Plug!Connie:

- You and Connie started off as any other plug and customer. But then Connie started to catch feelings and by like August of this year he asked you to be his.

- He was very protective of you so by the time the holidays came around no one knew you two were a couple.

- He would always spoil you too with shopping sprees and paying for you to get your hair and nails did 💅🏾

- It was hard to think of what he’d want cause he could literally buy anything he wanted plus he didn’t really talk about himself much

- You settled on a couple of hoodies, one of those vape shark jackets and a game for his ps5.

- He ended up getting you a whole ass black Audi r8.

- Your jaw was on the floor 💀

- “Con, what the hellll..”

- “What? Y’don like it?”

- “I do but literally how??”

- “Ion know😗.”

- “Boy-“

- Connie never told you how he did it but he had proof it wasn’t stolen at least so 🙄

- He also got you a giant teddy bear and a new iphone.

- You kinda felt like your gifts were not the best compared to his but he assured you it was fine and he was grateful to have you regardless. ❤️

- You two ended up spending the rest of the day getting high and watching weird christmas movies no one talks about .

🎅🏼❣️❣️…Alright~! =OwO=✨One of my most favourite and magical times of the year, is here once again!😃✨☃️🎄I know it’s been quite another year for a lot of us, but I am still willing to spread some delightful festive cheer as always, especially with my special annual Christmas piece~!✏️💝😊

This year, I wished to draw my beloved one and only Cooper and I/my trollsona during a holiday masquerade ball, which I can really see myself suggesting to Poppy when planning and she TOTALLY getting on board with the idea, excitement filling us both!🤩💡🤩 The masquerade ball idea was actually inspired by an underrated classic TV special from 1986, called 'A Mirthworm Masquerade', which I used to watch at a friend's house when I was around seven or eight >w< You can even watch the special here in the link below (Thank-you, YouTube! :3)👇🏻

I drew Cooper and I in one of my favourite scenes from the special, where I am chosen and crowned Queen of the Holiday Masquerade Ball, sitting upon a gorgeous ice crystal throne, with my very own beloved king himself by my side~👑💜💗💚🥰 And while dressing Cooper up as an adorable elf, I took the inspiration from the beautiful 8th Gen Pokemon, Frosmoth and dressed myself up as a fluffy yet elegant white butterfly~🤍🦋=^.^= Oooh~ Ovo And looks like we have special guest appearance with us!🌟We had Guy Diamond and Tiny Diamond last year, now we have the iconic and full of surprises...Mr. Dinkles~!😗(Who I drew proudly from memory~😉) And is that mistletoe I spy that he's holding?😯It certainly is!🤭Our fave devious lil' worm making sure everytroll be getting kisses~ >:D Especially me and Cooper, hehe!💕I was planning on smooching my cutie boo, anyways~😚💋

Over all, I am absolutely thrilled and over the moon of how this beautifully festive and heartwarming scene turned out~!🌈💖😍💖🌈I always amaze myself with how each scene for my annual Christmas piece comes out, just how I wanted and how I pictured it to be, with much improvement and this year’s has to be one of my grandest ones yet - just how I imagined it too~💝🥹✨

Hope you all like too, my sweet peeps!✨😁👍🏻And Mr. Dinkles, Cooper and I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & Happy (Troll) Holidays~💝🎄🎁❄️💚🫂So do enjoy all you can, my lovelies~🫶🏻😘💕As always, stay safe, stay strong and from me, to all of you…~

Just Another Day

Summary: Fluffy Dean x female!reader Valentine's Day post

Warnings: some language (like 2-3 words), light mentions of angst, but mostly fluff

Word Count: 1.6k

A/N: Not betad, all mistakes are my own 😊 and bear with me, I’m a little rusty 🥰 happy love day 🥰

Valentine's Day has never really been a favorite of mine, let alone anything I'd consider more than 'just a day'. Hell, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, even birthdays are all just 'another day' for me. It's kind of difficult not to harbor ill feelings about them after constantly being let down by the people in my life, one broken promise after another.

Dean and Sam have kept every promise they've made, though. In fact, they're managing to break down my walls bit by bit from stolen candy on Halloween to a fried chicken meal with beer on Thanksgiving all while living in cheap motels chasing monsters. When I told them this morning that I just wanted to hunt as usual for the day, I couldn't help but to feel a tad disappointed that they agreed. Bit by bit, I'm breaking my own rules about not getting my hopes up on holidays.

This is our first Valentine's Day as a couple, and I've known Dean long enough to know that chocolate and flowers aren't exactly his style. But I can count on him to bring me a piece of pie "just because" or he'll clean my weapons for me after a particularly grueling hunt because he knows all I want to do is shower and get in bed.

After a long day of exorcising demons, we are on the road again. Burnin' For You by Blue Oyster Cult plays low on the radio, but the clattering of rain on the roof has my full attention. Sam loudly rifles through the papers in his lap with one hand, flashlight held in the other, hesitant to ever let himself relax. Dean's eyes flicker between the road and the rear-view mirror to periodically check on me.

"Hey, you seem off today, you okay?" Dean asks, picking up on my vacant eyes and slight frown.

I suck in a breath, inhaling the scent of the Black Ice air freshener and a hint of stale whiskey, "yeah," I say curtly, keeping my eyes on the trees swaying in the wind as we drive past, lit only by the moon above us. The wind howls against the windows of the Impala, sneaking in and covering my skin with goosebumps.

His face scrunches a bit and he nods before the tick of the blinker signals that he's turning off the highway. I feel a twinge of discomfort knowing we're only minutes away from the motel now. As much as I hate the numbness I feel in my butt and thighs, there is something meditative about being a passenger on a long drive.

We pass an abandoned gas station before I can see the dim lights of the Wandering Inn. Dean parks us by the front desk, leaving the Impala to run with a soft purr as he gets us a key to a room. Neither Sam nor I take our time getting the bags together, so by the time Dean is back out and we find a parking spot near the room, we're ready to head in.

The door whines as Dean pushes it open, immediately palming the peeling wall for a light switch. The overhead light flickers a few times before settling on a weak glow, and before I can even shut the door behind us, the smell of burnt dust and old pledge assaults my nose. I glance around the small room. The musky yellow walls seem to make it feel even smaller, somehow.

Dean turns to me with outstretched arms and a smile, asking for my bags. I dutifully and sleepily hand them over, not realizing the weight they bared until the relief of their absence waves over me. Dean nods his head towards the bathroom, "ladies first on a shower," he says softly. His boots click on the tile as he walks over to toss our bags onto the bed, plopping down next to them to remove his boots.

In a few short strides I head over to grab my bag for the bathroom, stopping in front of him to plant a kiss on his forehead. His eyes, droopy and half-closed, look up at me in a smile. He places his hands my back, thumbs rubbing circles on my skin as he pulls me in for a kiss.

"Thanks for first shower, Dean," I say, letting my hands rest on his shoulders.

His eyebrows rise and fall before he says, "yeah, well, by the looks of it, you need it more than we do tonight."

My ear to ear smile is real, but I fake a laugh before pulling away. "Whatever," I say, but I slowly lose my smile on the way to my shower. Dean's ability to pick up on even the most subtle of changes in me are a testament to how great of a hunter he is, and even greater boyfriend. How he can't pick up on how torn I'm feeling about this wretched day I've no idea. What conflicts me further is that I know it's my responsibility to share these feelings with him. Dean may have an attention to detail I haven't seen in a partner in, well, ever, but he's not a mind reader.

The tile of the bathroom is cold under my feet, so I remove my shirt to stand on it while I wait for the water to heat up. I hear the guys shuffling and moving things in the room, keeping their voices hush, but I'm too tired to give a shit. Waving a hand under the water I decide that it's the perfect temperature and remove the rest of my clothes to get in.

I don't even realize how tense I am until the water hits my shoulders, nearly forcing me to relax under it. My body's reflexes take over and I go into autopilot as I think about today and Valentine's Day is already almost over, but we did nothing… at my request. I roll my eyes at myself, brushing my teeth while the conditioner sits in my hair. The scent of fruit and mint fill the room among the steam. When I rinse my hair, I imagine I'm rinsing the day away.

The mirror is completely fogged up by the time I get out. With slightly damp skin, and a towel wrapped around my head, I struggle to get my clothes on, and it frustrates me.

I open the door and allow the steam to pour into our room, and I'm immediately hit with a surprising smell. It's almost as if someone is roasting marshmallows in our motel room. I take a small, careful step and peek just my head out, eyes zeroing in on the lit candles on the table.

My eyes skip over to Dean who sits on the edge of the bed with his elbows resting on his knees, a single flower in one hand, and a mix-tape in the other. Beneath his feet is a trail of rose petals leading to the door of the bathroom. He keeps his eyes on me, a smile peaking through his lips as he awaits my next move.

Sam's eyes and mine meet before he offers an awkward smile and shuffles a few things around on his bed. He grabs his shower bag, and I take a few steps towards Dean to allow him to enter the bathroom. Dean and I are both silent until the door closes behind Sam.

"What is all this, Dean?" I asks, astonished. Moldy motel room, or 5 star suite, never in my life has anyone laid out rose petals for me. I feel my heart racing like it's ready to burst right out of my chest.

Dean smiles, standing to hand me the flower with a kiss on my cheek. My skin is warm where his lips just were, and he reaches to take my hand, guiding me to sit on our bed.

He notices my eyes glance down at the mix tape before jumping back up to his. "I've been working on this for a few weeks now," he says, shaking the tape in his hand before handing it to me.

My hand shakes when I grab it, and I flip it to see "To my Y/N/N, Love Dean," scribbled on the front. My cheeks grow hot again, but this time with embarrassment that I'd spent the whole day thinking about myself, when here's Dean blowing expectations right out of the water.

"It's, uh, all the songs that remind me of you," he says softly, and I notice the scent of my favorite candle as the flame burns. My head spins.

"I don't know what to say, Dean," I start, and he just smiles, caressing my hand with his calloused fingers, "I mean, thank you. This is the kindest, most loving thing anyone has ever done for me," I say, tears welling in my eyes.

It's overwhelming to think a personal could love someone so much that amidst hunting Heaven, Hell and everything in between he could find the time to make this moment so special.

"Aw, sweetheart, don't cry," he says, arms wrapping around me, pulling me in for a tight hug.

"I'm not crying, Dean," I contest, but I nuzzle my face into his soft, comforting shirt, allowing my arms to wrap around his torso, and under the warmth of his jacket.

I soak in the smell of his sandalwood cologne and tighten my arms around him. Kissing his chest, I mutter another "thank you" before lifting my head to look him in the eyes. He brings his hand to either side of my face, eyes looking back and forth between mine, "you're very welcome," he says, kissing me with a tenderness that takes my breath away, and I realize that it's moments like these that I want to fill my heaven with.

Masterlist

Thought maybe I oughta make one of these pinned posts so people can find my fics easier. 😁 They are all tickle fics btw so if you don't like that kind of thing then this is not the blog for you. lol They are of the SFW variety though.

Currently obsessed with Deadpool and Wolverine.

Just gonna list my new DP/W fics here below the cut and then put a link to the page with all my other fics. 😎

Listing newest fics at the top here.

Was That A Snort? - To get some payback Wade attacks Logan with tickles and is beyond amused by the sounds he manages to get out of him while the whole experience ends up putting Logan's head in a better place. 💗 Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

Santa Always Comes Through - Logan's nightmares of his past are keeping him from getting any sleep, so Wade comes up with the perfect Christmas gift for him. Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

Feels Like Home - Logan has become downcast about the prospect of moving into a new apartment. Wade offers a foot massage to help him destress and.....You already know where this is going. 🤣 Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

All Hail Queen Bea! - After a comment from Logan induces some ticklish consequences, Wade finally gets the confirmation about his friend that he suspected all along. Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

Wakey Wakey - Wade gets Logan out of bed in the best way possible. 🤭 Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

It's For Science - Wade gets it into his head that maybe not all humans have the same number of rib bones. His logic being that since Logan has a shorter body then he may be an exception. Unfortunately for Logan this is far too ticklish of an experiment for him to bear. A small bit of ticklish!deadpool at the end too. Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

Over My Dead Body - Logan just wants to watch the game, but Wade can’t help but mess with him and discovers he’s ticklish in the process. Logan is pissed at first, but eventually comes to terms with the benefits and has a life altering epiphany. Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

A Small Lapse of Judgement - Logan is adjusting to his new residence in Wade’s apartment. And that includes enduring his countless tickle attacks against him. But then Wolvie decides it’s time for a little payback. Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

How To Pet a Wolverine - Wade makes an irresistible discovery about Logan during their brawl inside the van. Deadpool and Wolverine-verse M/M

Here's the drawing I did of Wade tickling Logan. 🤭 I have other tickle art I've posted on here if you look hard enough. lol

And the other one I did here of Wade giving Logan ticklish raspberries to his tummy. Heheh, he likes it. 😊

And below is the link to the rest of my fics. All SFW. Mind you some of them are around 10 years old and may not be written that great so proceed at your own risk. lol I mainly wrote for the cartoon/comic versions of X-men (99% being Wolverine lol I love him 🥰), Venom, Punisher and The Wolf Among Us. Got one random Overwatch story in there too.

Tickle Fics Here! All fluffy, SFW stuff.

I have a Deviantart account as well but warning that there is some NSFW stuff I've posted on there over the years. I am an adult woman and do find tickling to be a kink in very specific situations. 90% I don't though, and I just enjoy tickling as a cute, fun, bonding activity between friends and lovers. I'm not gonna link my DA here. If you're interested, I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

——

It had been Jimmy's idea.

For everyone to turn up in ugly Christmas sweaters. Good for team spirit, he said, something about team cohesion and unity, and he's somehow convinced them all to go along with it, just like he always does. His older twin, the deceivingly smooth sweet-talker—when he wants to be.

Jey is not exactly unhappy but he's not exactly happy either. Not because he hates the idea, but because he can't actually wear the sweater he really wants to.

Sami and him had jokingly bought matching sweaters while out on a date; Jey had surprised Sami and himself by suggesting it, he'd blamed it on the holiday season, the sentimentality of it all, and the sappiness seeping deep into him because of it. Most of all, it was spending it with Sami.

Walking down the softly lit sidewalks together, pressing closely into each other's side, the cold crisp air chilling, unrelentingly hitting their exposed skin. And, Sami had put his arm securely around him, pulling him in closer by the shoulders making Jey feel warmer, safe and cared for.

Joint through their immediacy, his own arm sneaking around Sami's waist snuggling into him even more gripping him even closer, wanting to be as near as physically possible. Like this.

Check to check, body pressing against body sharing one space, faces pressing close sharing one breath, practically wrapped around each other, and their warmth soaking into one another; giggling and chatting away, about anything and everything, and everything and nothing.

Their smiles and laughs being thrown around with unrestraint unabashed generosity. Free— they were just happy; effervescent, and light.

And, nothing, there was nothing stopping them, nothing holding them back. High on the atmosphere, high on their emotions, high on each other.

A sense of warmth, a feeling of nearness, and a notion of romance, on a cold winter's night...

Golden fairy lights hanging radiantly twinkling all around them adding to the magical enchantment of it all. Walking, talking, taking in and enjoying the festivities around them. Enjoying each other's company, just innocent and carefree.

It's etched into Jey's memory, not by choice, but by pure impact, branded and inscribed burned into his memory, the whole night something precious, unforgettable for him. He knows he's being dramatic, but to him he's really not. Because, this really does mean that much to him, whether he wants it to or not.

Everything with Sami is brand new, everything is heightened, even the things he's familiar with, with Sami it's different, everything seems whole, and everything seems so complete. Like nothing is ever lacking not even a little bit, nothing is ever wanting not even in the slightest.

But, Jey still wants. He wants everything, he wants it all. Everything with this ginger angel of his. Even this one memory alone he could live on for eternity. The rush of feelings and emotions he is being hit with, that he craved. He's never felt so light or so free or so open himself, and certainly not with someone else. But, once again, Sami does the outrageous like always, making him aware of things he's not aware of, breaking down barriers and walls he was never willing to acknowledge, some he never even knew existed, one's he is now free of. Thanks to this red-headed angel before him, looking at him with such adoration and utter devotion in his eyes, shaking Jey to his very core, shivering this time not from the cold, but the heat that's rushing right through him.

Jey can't get enough of their closeness, the simpleness of it, this sharing that's deceptively intimate, a type of closeness he didn't know existed, nor yearned for, or needed or even wanted. His whole life he'd been missing it, but now he's got a taste of it, now knowing what it is, what it's like. He never wants to let it go. He doesn't think he can even if he wanted to.

He's feeling unfamiliarly soft and dreamy, there's something indescribable—surrounded by Sami's touch, his gaze, his voice, his laugh, his warmth, all simultaneously wrapping around him...like Jey's the gift being perfectly wrapped for Christmas, Jey never wants this feeling to go away.

The streets continued to dazzle with elaborate yet simple lights and perfectly crafted evergreen hollies hanging up at almost every window and every door, brightly lit up Christmas trees and glittering sparkling decorations, adorning every inch of the streets, Christmas colors splashed around, brilliantly scattered everywhere. Delighting all your senses. The saying 'It's like Christmas!!' never rang truer.

Along with his Sami, Christmas all around them, everywhere he looked, a rare pleasure they were able to experience and treasure, together, away from the hustle and bustle of work, and life. It was intoxicating. And, Jey hadn't wanted it to end.

Sami agreed, what'd he say?— "Even if I don't "celebrate" Christmas, I want to be here. I want to be here with you, because this is important to you. And, you are important to me."

Besides, according to Sami— "Being away like this, surrounded by the festivities, away from everyone else in our own special little world, for a captivating, whimsical, and beguiling night— It's a potent and exhilarating feeling, Jey. And, just us being together here, experiencing all of this, seeing and feeling it; together, without anything or anyone else. It's so pure, and it's just for us. I get to be here with you and love you, and I wouldn't have it or want it any other way."

Sami had told him, "I'd do it all over again, every year; year after year, again and again; just for you, Jey." - An unintended secret promise of, for always. "I'll do everything I can to make sure you're happy, everything I can for you to only have the best. And, I always will."

And, if Sami secretly overwhelmingly enjoyed this too...that was just an added bonus.

Jey melts at the thought. He doesn't call Sami out on the silent pledge of 'for always', but he's caught it and kept it in his heart and he's never letting it go. No one has ever treated him like this before. He's always been an afterthought, second at best, but never it, never first. But, he's always first with Sami.

Sometimes he wonders if he'd never met Sami— 'Could you crave for someone you've never met? Want them in ways you cannot grasp? Ache for them in ways you cannot understand? Could you miss someone you've never met?'

Jey doesn't want to let this go, let Sami go. Making memories with the man he loves, the man who loves him right back. This overwhelming sensation; enchanting and magical; walking side by side, cheek to cheek, shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, hand in hand; heart to heart.

It had Jey feeling overly amorous, unduly spellbound; in love, wanting it to never end, wanting to keep sharing this, wanting to remember and capture that moment with Sami, not just then but later too. So the obvious answer was of course—matching Christmas sweaters—something tangible but secretive enough to remember this shared night together.

Sami's entirely too eager fulfilling Jey's suggestion; according to Sami, he's still getting used to the differences between Jey - his boyfriend, and Jey Uso - the hard-ass, bad-ass, no-nonsense Bloodline right-hand man—the prickly Samoan everyone's cautious of.

Jey thinks he should be offended by the description, but he's...he's kind of proud of the fact that Sami thinks he's a bad-ass. Considering, how entirely soft Sami has him now. He does however think, Sami's reasoning for his enthusiastic reaction is—ridiculous enough. But, he'll take it because that's just how Sami is, nothing put on, just altogether generously and genuinely him. And, quite frankly it's adorable. Soft— that's definitely all he is now, utterly soft for Sami.

They haven't told the rest of the family yet, the Bloodline, partly due to Jey's reluctancy, thinking about the level of ribbing he's going to receive from his family over finally bagging the guy he's been mooning over for so long. He isn't even sure for how long to be honest—when did it even start?

If he really thinks about it; maybe from the very first time he had laid his eyes on Sami Zayn. He'd had mixed feelings looking at him, mainly annoying and irritated ones, watching him try to weasel his way into the Bloodline, into his family. But, there was always something there.

The first time he'd eyed that annoying messy red mop on his head he called hair that Jey had wanted to rip out but also run his fingers through; those sparkly shining hazel eyes that sucked him right in even when he tried to look away; the big bright dopey crinkle-eyed grin he desperately didn't want to mirror but also desperately wanted to return right back; those annoyingly exaggerating hand gestures his eyes couldn't help but carefully track as much as he didn't want to; and that tonefully animated voice he wanted to hear more of even when he wished he didn't. It was all so much, and not enough. And so, maybe he was gone from the very first moment he laid eyes on Sami Zayn.

As time has passed, he's more sure now than ever that his family were well aware of it, long before he ever was. They've been there for it all, and witnessed it all.

All those intensely aggressive confrontations, lingering fierce touches and hostile looks, all masked under the pretense of his passionate hatred.

But, now Jey can admit that maybe it had always been about wanting Sami's attention, all of it, not on anyone else, but only on himself, not even his cousin or his brothers. Apparently, he's a possessive bastard like that. He'd wanted Sami only for himself, long before his mind started to realize what his heart had always known.

And, he'd finally realized that maybe all that passion burning inside him, was not hatred but something else entirely, a fire lit deep within right on the cusp of igniting into an inferno so fierce that it scared even him, so he'd pushed it down even further, pushed it down into the darkness, put it down like a wounded horse, calling it dislike. A better option than reality—the daunting alternative, he hadn't been ready to face.

Until, it was impossible to deny any longer. When he couldn't control it anymore. So he stepped out and took his chance before he could snap and self-destruct. Turns out Sami was his saving grace, his missing piece, his calm in the storm.

Even though they had talked about it extensively, Jey is still worried that when people find out about them, they will get Sami to realize that he can and should be with 'someone better’. He can't help thinking that everyone is going to try and talk Sami out of this 'terrible' choice he has made.

Sami has heard all this before and he'd retorted with— "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If anything, it will be people asking you if you've lost your mind, picking me of all people."

Sami had brushed him off, reminding him that everyone respected Jey, that Jey was the catch, that Jey was the inexplicably beautiful one, on the inside and out, and that people either wanted him or wanted to be him —"I'm the lucky one, Jey," Sami had said— that they were going to tease Jey about his choice, not Sami.

And so, Jey chooses the sweater that does not match Sami's that morning, as he gets himself dressed, because a part of him still finds it hard to believe what Sami keeps saying to him, trying to convince him of. Yes, he believes Sami, because this is Sami, and Sami would never lie to him, especially about something like this, especially when it comes to Jey. Sami knows how vulnerable Jey actually is, how sensitive he truly is, he's the only one that knows. He's the only one that sees all of him, and knows all of him. So, Sami wouldn't do that to him.

But, Jey still doubts himself. Still thinks he's not good enough for Sami. No matter what Sami says, Jey knows, Sami is the catch. Even if Sami does not believe it.

Guess they both have doubts about themselves, guess they both only have boundless admiration for the other, and only full and utter devotion.

So, Jey stands there, looking at himself in the mirror, wearing the sweater that does not match Sami.

He's tugging at the front, a small frown marring his face, then at the sleeves, and then at the hem pulling at it with an unsatisfied grunt, nose scrunching up in distaste, he lets go and is rolling his shoulders to relieve the tension.

He isn't feeling it. Not even a little bit.

So, he's dragging the sweater over his head and tossed it on the floor by his bed. He's walking towards his cupboard, and finding his matching sweater to Sami's pulling it over his head and down his torso, running his hands down the front and pulling at the hem, adjusting it to fit just right. He looks in the mirror once again, and gives himself a nod.

This is satisfying.

How about some cute, fluffy and domestic omegaverse Tommy and Alfie? I was was thinking things like:

1. Family days out

2. Their first Christmas/Hanukkah as a family

3. Their children’s birthdays

4. Their first baby starting school

5. The battles of potty training

6. The first time they have to take the children to the bakery

7. Their child being told their going to be a big brother/sister

Just to give you a few suggestions 😊

ah these are all so soft and wonderful, thank you 🥰 Thank you for the contribution to the Collection. Oh could you just imagine the kids running around the bakery, thinking it's the greatest playground on earth. Trying to get Ollie to play hide and seek with them. Alfie says it's all fine, his men will make sure nothing happens to them, but Tommy is beyond stressed (at least at first). Just to think of one scenario for all of these.

Also family days out would definitely involve involve 1, parks, 2, the zoo, 3, something involving horses (and this time it's Alfie who's stressed)

Title: A Christmas gifts for my OC friends 2023

Ho! Ho! Ho! Its the wonderful time of the year! 😁🎄❄️You better rotate your frowny face to a cheerful smiley face! because its "Christmas Day"! And what better way than revealing my gift arts for my 'wonderful' secret friends, this Christmas? 😊🎁

IMPORTANT NOTE: No #OnThisDay throwback post, for the 2nd time.

Let's start off with:

🎁 Bryan360' OCs [1st half] 🎁: ↑

• For Maxwell, May, and Sam - a Slim Travel Monitor (per furson) from the Speedster Twins (Spot & Riya), and Cude.

Spot 🐶🏎️: We've saw these awesome portable screens during our stroll at the store. 🙂

Riya 🐰🏎️: So, hope you guys useful during gameplay, whether you're in your bedroom, or outside the house, or even going travel around. 😁

Cude 🐰🤖: Yeah! Ultra portable, slick design, and easy to carry than a bulky monitor. 😉

🎁 Bryan360's OCs [2nd half] 🎁: ↑

• For Windy - an Insta 360 Go 3 Starter Set from Rita Speedster. • (and) For Scottie - a premium replica of 5-Banana Coin from Bonn Speedster.

Rita 🐶🚺: And for Windy, you need something to go cam than just an ordinary smartphone! 😃 I mean, have you already seen a maliit (tiny) cam with a supreme quality pixel as your smartphone/tablet? Thus, I gifted you an awesome Insta 360 Go 3 (w/ built-in 128GB memory storage) with invisible stick as your starter set! 😁 (More info? → [CLICK ME!])Pls, ingatan (be careful) your new shiny toy, Windy. 😉

Bonn 🐰🚹: And the DK train continues with this genuine replica of '5-Banana Coin' 🍌🪙, which was featured in the game of 'Donkey Kong 64'! 🐵🎮 Its slightly heavy given that this big coin was made in solid metal, so please be gentle, bud! 🙂That's a worthy item to your DK collection! 😁

🎁 For other OCs 🎁: ↑

Carmenramcat: • For Shadow Ramcat - a premium replica of MuruKir Shield & Sword from MuruKir and Mayu.

MuruKir 🔵⭐: The perfect legit weapons for you, Shadow Ramcat! 😃With your brand new shield and sword 🛡️🗡️ based of my shape shifting powers, this will improve your combat skill. Right, Mayu? 😁

Mayu ✨🐇: Absolutely correct, MuruKir. Not only its light weight, but it can slice everything with your new trusty sword, and your new shield to protect against any force and immune all source of magic/element powers. 😉 Plus, I'm sharing it with my teleportation powers, as well on your new sword. However, there's a caveat when using it. Unlike my staff, your sword's teleportation would only one cast before it'll charge by a single hour, so please used it responsively, Shadow Ramcat. ☝️😮 Otherwise, enjoy your new weapons, courtesy of US. 😊

Bonn 🐰🚹: Hey, this one is for you, kid. Since you liked to hang out with my four Speedster kids. And I know, you're a fan of die-cast models of Hot Wheels and other brands.

Hiiiiii!!! 🥰 secret santa here! ☃️🤍☃️🤍 Have a super wonderful week! 🩷🩷🩷

Omg, your toto is the cutest!!! I'm so in love!!! Awwww 😍😍😍 He's almost the same age as my cat! I think pets were made to be spoiled. Hehe My cats are called Jiji, Pipoca and Olivia! That's unfortunate. My best friend is also allergic to cats and was thinking about getting those shots. I'm not really sure if she did end up doing it or not. She has two Siberian cats! They're so cute and fluffy, but she still has some allergies to them sometimes. Even though they're not as bad as other cats, yes, she's a little bit crazy for this. Awwww

Oh, that's interesting, I might have to give it a try. Hahaha really??? Oooh, I do hope you find one. That's so cool of you!! I struggle with finding good translations sometimes that's why I read a lot in English, when I compare it's like some of the beauty of the text is lost, sadly. I did try to read some Spanish classics in Spanish last year and it was awesome. I'm hoping I can get my life together a bit more so I have more focus on learning more languages. 😝 Sorry for the rambling.

No, not really, any song I get I'm going to be so happy!!! Even if it's only the young. 🤭😅 I'm going with my best friend and one of her work friends.

Yes, yes, yes!!! That bridge takes my breath away like I'm already so in awe of it and then, boom, there's moreeee! Album of the year for me! 🤔

Definitely, cakes are the best thing ever created in terms of food. That sounds delicious!!! Oh, I love these kind of french toasts we do and "filhoses" which is a very traditionally portuguese Christmas pastry. Those are my absolute favs!!!

Thank youuuuu, my weekend was okay. 🩷🤍💖 How was yours? I've just finished your gift. I do hope you like it. 🤭😊

hi secret santa!

i actually just ordered some new years postcards so i can mail them out to our family and friends, and then also some christmas cards for next year with toto's santa photos! i think they're getting here today? i'm super excited! those names are so cute — i was going to ask for photos but then remembered secret santa </3 but maybe after the reveal, i'd love to see photos of your cats :) i am super allergic to cats but i used to go to the cat cafe like once or twice a month and just hang out with them haha! so i get it!

you're totally fine! ramble away! i took a few years of spanish in middle school (so a very long time ago) but i do want to pick it back up again; i was thinking of doing duolingo in the new year (for both spanish + mandarin), but we'll see! i was doing very good with duolingo this year until i got busy and then ... i stopped one day and never went back to it.

i hope you have so so much fun! do you know what you're wearing? i just booked my hotel for my eras show next year and i've changed my outfit ideas twice now! i was originally thinking of getting a purple dress and diy-ing it "i want to watch wisteria grow" but then started thinking about a christmas tree farm inspired outfit since i'm going to a december show! what is your favorite taylor era? trying not to give too much away but definitely curious to see what your favorite bits are!

googled filhoses and they look DELICIOUS!!! and now i am craving sugar at 8 am :) what kind of french toast do y'all do? i grew up in hong kong and one of my comfort snacks is like, toast + peanut butter + condensed milk and it is sooooo sooooo good (and incredibly sweet).

i can't wait to see! i'm sure i'll love it 🤍 my weekend was lovely! i went to a hockey game, had some good family + friends time, and i went ice skating on monday! hope you're having a good week! x

Tag asks!

😊 A fic that made you smile on a bad day

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

🥰 A fic that gives you warm fuzzy feelings

:DDDDDDDDDD

A fic that made me smile on a bad day. There are too many to name. Fanfiction has been a true lifesaver these past few years. But I can name one that was extra special. Exchange of Heart was written by @beskarbabybjorn and was my secret santa gift during probably the worst Christmas of my life. She knew me well and snuck in several little references to things I loved (like horses and the X-Files) and really helped me through an amazingly tough time.

The #writergoals question I answered here.

A fic that give me warm fuzzy feelings. I'm going to be a tad bit selfish and promote one of mine. Actually, a collection of mine. While @beskarbabybjorn got me through Christmas 2021, my own writing got me through in 2022. My Lifeday Celebration was a collection of short stories, one for every day of December, and most of them are soft and fluffy. Looking back at the severe depression I was living with at the time I wrote these, you need to know how much writing them helped me cope. I'm much healthier these days, and therefore don't write like a madwoman anymore, but I'm still happily writing angst and smut and always happy endings.

Send me a number/emoji and I'll give you a fic rec!

Tagging: @afterdarkprincess @fantasyismyonlyrealescape @imabillyami - (if at all anyone wants to be tagged in my silly little fics let me know!)

——

He knows he's being ridiculous. The others won't care right? Maybe they won't even notice that it's part of a set, after all, Sami isn't scheduled to come in today. So Jey's confident he can get away with this.

And, really where would Sami even wear his 'Christmas' sweater, he doesn't actually celebrate the occasion...Jey thinks they're safe.

Walking into the locker room dropping his bag down Jey spots Jimmy immediately, grinning at his older twin. It's hard not to, Jimmy's always had that ability to make him smile, big smile, always been able to no matter what else is going on around them, no matter how bad or how chaotic, Jimmy always puts a smile on his face without even trying, seeing his face is enough to.

Jimmy's wearing a holly-green sweater that's looking extra soft and fluffy. At the top, "BITE ME!"— shiny silver sequins bordering it's glittering red letters, a large gingerbread man cookie dancing at the midsection one leg up in the air twirling, complete with a glitter candy cane in its hand being swung around, icing embroidery outlining its features, and the most gaudy obnoxious looking pompom buttons known to man going down its front. It looked like someone had thrown up a mix of different colored glitter in random patches all over the remaining parts of his sweater.

All in all it is hideous. His brother Jimmy has hit the brief of "ugly" Christmas sweater to perfection, he's understood the assignment and executed it to the highest standard. Jey is not one bit surprised...that Jimmy excelled at this.

“Ain't you all 'sweeet'  lookin' today, Uce,” croons Jey, leaning in with a smirk. Jimmy just grins at him like he's pleased with himself, throwing a candy cane at his head, which he manages to duck last minute.

“You so lame, Uce. 'Sweeeeet'!?  Really? This early with them lame ass puns?" huffs out Jimmy, laughing. "But, I am lookin' damn 'sweeeeet' aren't I?" he smirks, wriggling his eyebrows.

"I'm jus' learnin' from the best, Uce," quips Jey, shooting him a toothy smile. "Yea, you just soo...sweeeeet lookin', Uce, my teeth all gon' fall out."

He can see Jimmy gearing up to reply, but before he can, Solo's walking around the corner and giving Jey a stoic once-over. “Nice,” he nods, and continues on his way. 'Well, if that isn't the highest compliment coming from Solo..,'  thinks Jey. He's glad once again that he changed his mind and chose to wear this sweater.

The Wiseman already seated to his right is dressed in a purple sweater with a spectacular looking golden menorah on its front, orange flamed white candles resting in it, and immaculately detailed tiny multi-colored dreidels delicately embroidered all around the hem and ends off his sleeve. Classy.

“Wiseman! Lookin' good!” says Jey, a little too loudly, sue him, he's a little surprised with the holiday spirit and enthusiasm being shown, as he himself is feeling it. Seems like everyone's getting into it, he'd forgotten the Wiseman was Jewish.

Looks like Jimmy was right after all, he really is starting to feel an extra sense of camaraderie and togetherness already.

“Figured I'd join you rather than fight it," says the Wiseman, with a shrug, "I knew I was out numbered...,” trailing off, sighing. Looking and sounding down and defeated, if not for the slight smirk gracing his lips.

Always a sly low-key shit-stirrer...but that's what made him so unique, that's what makes him the 'Wiseman'— One minute he's showing off his brilliant and intellectual mind, the next he's strategically taking down their opponents with his hidden expertise. But, on the other hand, he's also cleverly busting your balls, and half the time you don't realize it till it's too late. They appreciate this side of him too, it's one of the reasons they all got on so well.

Solo's sweater is more subdued, a dark deep red with little white snowflakes embroidered around the collar, the midsection, hem and his cuffs, little shiny threaded brightly colored hollies in-between them. So Jey makes it a point to tell Solo, "You look nice too, Uce."

Solo's made the effort and that matters, and Jey wants to let him know it, it shows that Solo still underneath it all wants to be a part of the "family", to somehow even fit-in, in his own way, even if he sometimes acts otherwise.

"He does, don' he, Uce," adds Jimmy, cheesing at them from the other side. "You look nice, dawg!"

And of course, Solo responds with his single stoic nod, because that's what Solo does. And, it's the best they'll get from him, but they're used to it. And, it's okay, because that's their baby brother.

Just then the door opens and in walks Roman, announcing Sami will be dropping by soon to go over their tag team match together; it's unexpected, but he's excited to see Sami, just like he always is and he silently wonders if this feeling will ever fade. It's like he's perpetually living in the 'honeymoon' phase of theirs, just over and over, on and on, never completely escaping. Ever since, well, ever since the beginning, really. So, he's looking forward to seeing his boyfriend especially when they'd thought they would be spending today apart.

They've been in plenty of work situations since they've become boyfriends, and nothing's changed. Jey isn't worried about that.

'Boyfriends' it still feels weird saying it because it's such a foreign concept to Jey. And he's not sure, if he'll ever get used to the swarm of butterflies he feels that comes along with it. His stomach in chaos every single time, another occurrence that's completely foreign to him, every single time making it fluttering like crazy when he realizes that Sami is now—his boyfriend.

It hasn't caused any trouble yet, both of them being able to remain professional. Even though he's finding it harder and harder to stop himself from jumping Sami, and trapping those sweet pink soft delicious kissable...damn..he could go on...lips between his whenever he sees them, like they were always demanding to be taken—and really, he'd just be taking what's now his. The possessive bastard that he is, constantly wanting to come out and play whenever Sami is around. Something else he's never experienced, this constant need and want for someone, for them to be his and only his in every way, never until Sami.

“Told Sami we're wearin' Christmas sweaters, so he don't feel like a damn fool when he shows up,” shares Roman, walking past. And amused murmurs of agreement rise, from Jimmy and the Wiseman, waiting to see what the 'honorary Uce' will turn up in.

Roman himself is wearing a sweater that's a rich royal deep red, almost bordering on maroon, tight and fitting, an intricate extremely detailed golden snowflake carefully woven with fancy shimmery gold thread featuring right in the center, tiny white and silver snowflakes scattered around, the illusion of snow falling from the sky. Completing out the look of a magical, royal and regal Christmas—just like Roman.

So far, it looks like it's three for three. Three very decent, nice, and put together Christmas sweaters worn by Solo, the Wiseman and Roman. And, three 'ugly' Christmas sweaters worn by, Jimmy, himself and...

And, then it hits Jey. Now he's a little worried, because he knows Sami only owns one Christmas sweater—the one that matches Jey. The one he's currently wearing.

Jey is quickly running through his options, his escape plan, his excuse...

He's hoping maybe he'll get called out, by management or the crew for something that needs to be taken care of. Or, he can pretend he is sick. Maybe, pretend this is all just a big coincidence, and they just happened to have matching sweaters, he's fairly sure no one's going to buy that though. Or, he could just take his sweater off.

And, none of which would solve anything because everyone's already seen the sweater. At the very best he'll be able to avoid their reactions for a while, but what's the point, he's going to have to face them eventually and avoiding it will only make them rib him even harder. And, he can't find it in himself to leave Sami all on his own to face these bunch of brutes he calls family.

As though fate has been listening in on his lamenting, his inner dread, it is at that precise moment that Sami casually strides into the locker room.

Jimmy notices first, guffawing out a high bubble of laugher. “Jey, you and Sami matchin'! Man, I thought you 'n me was twins, dayoneish!”

Jey can't really focus on Jimmy, shifting his gaze a little, away from his twin now training it on Sami, wearing the matching set of their pair of sweaters. Sami just gives him a sheepish rueful smile in return, messily running his fingers through his hair, a nervous gesture of his. Shrugging, with a 'it is what it is and I'm going to run with it' motion.

Jey is stuck for a second, not knowing what to say or how to react, but he doesn't need to.

“I’m surprised by your taste, Jey. Nice ugly sweater you're wearing by the way,” grins Sami, with a wink, smirking like nothing's wrong at all.

'That smug cocky red-headed menace,'' thinks Jey, adoringly, still unable to say anything helpful as he hears Jimmy let out another bout of laughter, watching Sami heading towards Roman waiting on the other side.

Jey stealthy grabs his phone typing out a quick message to his boyfriend.

- - 'Shit. I don' know if I wanna punch you right now or kiss that damn smirk off your face. You enjoyin' this too much Sami...'

He watches as Sami, still listening to Roman going through all the possible scenarios of their match and how to strategically counter them, read the message. Sami's eyes widen just the slightest, you can barely notice it, almost like Jey is seeing things, eyebrows rising just a touch, again not noticeable unless you're really looking. He sees Sami's tapping out a reply, face blank again still appearing unbothered and nonchalant as ever to everyone around.

But, Jey knows him better than that, he can see Sami's body barely keeping from reacting, coiling tense in anticipation, something simmering at the surface.

- - 'Then do it, Jey. I’m game if you are.'

Jey's staring at the message, he stares and stares, dumbfounded mildly disbelieving what he's reading. Is Sami joking? So he looks up again and almost flinches, Sami is looking right at him, dead in the eyes with a seriousness so intense that it sends a shiver straight down his spine.

He didn't think Sami would ever go in for such a bold move, he'd have thought if it had been one of them suggesting it, it'd have been him—suggesting this, to kiss in front of everyone, in the middle of the locker room...but Jey can't deny that he really wants to. He wants his family to know how happy he is, he wants everyone to know just how lucky and complete he is, and he wants to share this. He wants to show Sami off. And, it looks like Sami wants to do the same.

Roman and Sami seem to have finished discussing their move for their upcoming match, vaguely hearing Sami agreeing with the plan they've come up with. And, they say their goodbyes. Sami says his goodbyes to the rest of them as well, each in their own unique way, a handshake, a hug, a nod, or a combination.

And as Sami turns to leave, Jey calls out for him. “Hey, Sami?”

Sami turns around with a questioning look on his face.

Jey ignores it stepping forward, wrapping his large hand around Sami's shoulder holding him in place, softly sliding it up the back of his warm slender neck, and slowly pulling him in and kissing him—open-mouthed, long and hard, possessive and hungry, licking right into his mouth chasing the taste of him. He's putting on a show, claiming Sami in front of them, marking him as his.

Jey can feel Sami's sweet grin of acceptance and complete surrender under his lips, mapping it out with his own, and he's sure Sami can feel him smirking right back, he hears his twin whooping and wolf-whistling in the background, and he's pulling away with a laugh, huffing out a little breath.

Resting his forehead against Sami's, they're breathing a little hard, Sami with his eyes closed and Jey with his open. Sami savoring the moment the still phantom feel and taste of Jey on his lips, while Jey is savoring Sami taking in the beautiful blissed out man before him.

They probably didn't need to kiss for that long or with so much intensity. But, now there isn't a single doubt in anyone's mind as to who Sami really belongs to. He might be part of the Bloodline, but he's Jey's.

And, there's a pleasant prickling, a tingling against his skin at the thought of it. He knows he's become a possessive bastard, and now his family knows it too. He's just made it very clear, there's no doubt in anyone's mind. Sami belongs to him. He belongs to Sami.

He keeps looking at Sami and he wants to taste those reddened plumped up swollen lips in front of him once again, in front of everyone once again, the ones that he caused to look that way.

"We still on for tonight?” asks Jey, going for casual, acting like the last few minutes didn't just happen.

Sami just grins at him all teeth, dopey looking fully gone on Jey, with that twinkle in his hazel eyes that's so distinctly Sami, the one that Jey can't ever look away from. “Of course, Jey.”

Sami ducks his head a shy smile now gracing his kissed-out lips, face still flushed still looking slightly dazed as he leaves, making an obviously quick escape while he can, in these precious last few moments of silence when he has the chance to.

Jey slowly turns back to his family and catches Solo passing Jimmy a $50 note. Roman and the Wiseman solemnly doing the same. He hears Roman distinctly mumble something like 'He couldn't have waited another week?'

“You knew?” Jey asks Jimmy, as casually as he can.

He's surprised, but he's also really not to be honest, more like a little affronted if anything, he could never really hide anything from Jimmy—his twin, the one person who sometimes knows him better than he knows himself, knows his own thoughts even before he does, his own feelings even before he can comprehend them, his dayoneish.

“Course, Uce! You know you ain't hiddin' nothin' from me. Don' know why you even think to try. 'Sides we be blind not seein' it,” says Jimmy, rolling his eyes grinning, and Solo is doing his stoic nod in agreement next to him.

He looks to the others, at Roman and the Wiseman and they too are giving Jey the 'you really think we didn't know? Do we look blind and stupid to you?—that's sad...' look.

Jey just shakes his head not knowing whether to feel a little put out by the whole thing or rightfully elated by their reactions, and sits back flopping down. All the tension and anticipation leaving him, his body loosening up and relaxing. They finally did it. He and Sami had done it, and the world hadn't ended, Sami had been right all along, Jey had just been over thinking it all.

Jimmy is still giving him that stupidly large and wide grin of his, and for all it's worth Jey can't help but return it in equal measure.

His attention turns to the pinging of his phone and he scoops it out of his pocket opening it.

- - 'I love you.'

Another ping rings.

- - 'I've got dessert waiting for you 😏'
