WANTED CONNECTIONS ! below you’ll find a list of wanted connections, please fill them before i commit sewer-side. if you wanna talk, you wanna discuss – send me a message on discord ( jayden#7437 ) ! okay, that’s all.

alvarez, odette – quick summary: twenty-nine, cancer, has a daughter ( ava: played by lane ), engaged ( nicolas: played by pj ), is a florist because life’s a joke, kind of hot-headed, has a messy past we don’t talk about, would beat someone up 10/10, don’t test her, drives an ugly pick-up truck ( bella’s from twilight, don’t ask ) and owns a fluffy kitten named mango. 

plot one – mother: long story short, her mom was around 16 when she had her ( would now be in her mid 40′s ), was a prostitute who didn’t care and was all around a trash human being. odette moved into foster homes before she turned 6 and she was in and out of them throughout her entire childhood. when odette had ava, however, she moved back in. and their relationship turned messier real fast. she moved back out at eighteen and has been staying away from her mom ever since. her mom only ever contacts her for money, she’s that bitch. fc could be salma hayek, but any mexican fc in that age range is a1.

plot two – sister from another mister: odette lived on the street in her teens, often running away from foster homes because they were GROSS. i want someone from her past in sheffield. i really, really want their relationship to have been like them kiddos in the movie thirteen ( 2003 ), you know? like hella ride or die but also toxic af. fc doesn’t matter but white people are gross so a person of colour, mayhaps? they’d be either her age or older, and obviously a womf because she hates men.

* NEW ! plot three – butler: look, she’s marrying rich and i’ve already established that she’s best buds with the butler. he’s old, he’s nice, they’re just having a good time together. all that i know about him is … just that, cool! he’s worked with the talbots for ages so, you get like +3484 plots with this one. do it, i beg of you. jeremy irons is a snack and so is jeff goldblum. think about it. 

apolskis, julian – quick summary: twenty, leo, has had cancer come and go since he was 10, is a bit of an asshole, its a defence mechanism though, lost his leg a year ago, has a sister ( kitty: played by lane ), currently dating ( micah: played by patty ), is in a band, plays drums, has a deadbeat dad that his mom sends fake happy bday cards from. 

plot one – father: basically, back in the good old days ( about 11 years ago ), julian and his family lived in seattle. living their best life. and then, he got diagnosed with cancer. in came the bills and his father split. he’s been out of their lives ever since, not really giving a hot diddly darn about his son – or the rest of the family, not that i care about them. he’d be in his mid 40′s or older by now. any white male fc would work but hugh dancy is dear to me. 

* NEW ! plot two – hospital buddy: give me a friend for this motherfricker, okay? someone who might be sick, too. someone who’s been at the hospital with him, someone who knows that struggle of DYING. you feel me? this person can literally be 80 years old, i don’t care! as long as they’ve spent some time in care with my boy, maybe even roomed with him, it’s all good.

atkins, scarlett – quick summary: nineteen, gemini, mother’s a dead socialite, father is an alive asshole, used to smang her step-brother ( milo: played by pj ) before he ditched her, was kind of the queen bee before she ghosted on all her “friends” for a fancy college, got kicked out of said college for an adderall addiction, is now at rock bottom and forced to hang with the losers, super manipulative and selfish, kind of got a rough exterior. 

plot one – old friend: i really want someone who used to be friends with her either before she became miss popular or before they graduated. either way, she would’ve ditched them for bigger and better. i want beef, i want dramas – i want this bitch to suffer. before she hung with the it crowd she was a freaking mathlete, so don’t you forget it. honestly, cady heron is SHAKING. i say as i stole it from lindsay weir, whatever. she was also a cheerleader in her later years, if that helps. i’m very cliche. they’d be like nineteen, and preferably a womf but i’m not picky. 

* NEW ! plot two – father: all you gotta know about ray atkins, is that he’s garbage. he’s a rich bitch, the richest damn dude in town, and he cares approximately NOT AT ALL about his daughter. he’s constantly going back and forth between pushing her to achieve things and not acknowledging her presence. it’s a hard knock life. rape tw // there was also an instance where scout experienced assault at a party and he blamed her for drinking, so … not the nicest. on top of that, he doesn’t allow scout to speak french in the house ( her mother was french, uwu ), and that’s MEAN. anyways, any white/puerto rican man in his 40′s and up will work. 

baek, wolfgang – quick summary: thirty-five, capricorn, loves horror films and has made quite a few, dad is a famous director ( bigger in korea than the states ), has triplets because his dick is that powerful, went from mr. friend zone to mr. i’m sorry i gave you three babies at once, sort-of-dating ( ziba: played by patty ) really talkative and amazing, works at blockbuster because that’ll support a family, am i right, lads?

plot one – work pal: he’s at work a lot, ok? and he needs friends. it’s a win/win. i need someone for him to do stupid work stuff with, make working a fun experience! i want a squad like in chuck, you know? if you don’t know what i’m talking about then superstore, if you still don’t know what i’m talking about then why are you still here? age don’t matter but i would prefer if they were close in age. gender, who cares. bye.

plot two – partner in crime: basically, he makes a lot of indie flicks. he actually only moved to sheffield to work on a screenplay but… it’s been a while. i need someone who makes movies with him, though. a co-director or someone he keeps casting as the lead because bros, ok? once again, preferably close in age, gender doesn’t matter.

* NEW ! plot three – cousin: i mean, hewwo? most of his extended family is back in korea, but – but – i could imagine his aunt or uncle would’ve moved to the us shortly after his parents did. so, a cousin would be neat! someone his age, someone he can talk to about childhood stuff, someone who understands his unspoken rivalry with his father, someone to babysit his kids. they would’ve lived in florida after moving to the us, thirty and up and preferably a dude. i like dudes. but a woman would work as well. not to mention, half or fully korean!

bellefleur, kipling – quick summary: forty-eight, capricorn, born and raised in louisiana, has two kids he don’t know about ( lucia: played by britt, jude: played by patty ), a cop at the police station, lives alone with no pets because god hates him, got a partner ( elliot: played by lane ) but not in the gay way, unfortunately heterosexual, kinda grumpy, kinda just annoyingly white. 

* NEW ! plot one – hook-up: kip is a sexual being, believe it or not! and sometimes, a mans need a nut bust. he’s a great lover, i swear. but he’s not a great mans when it comes to the romantics. he does have two kids he don’t know of, after all. just give me someone he visits late at night, ignores in public and have fake deep convos with whilst sharing a cigarette in bed. really painting a picture here, aren’t i? unlike other fathers in this town, he has no interest in sleeping with someone his child’s age, so –– thirties and up!

cheung, beatrice – quick summary: twenty-five, aries, middle school teacher, a big fucking lesbian, dating ( kaylee: played by patty )super sociable and outgoing, literally loves partying and hanging out with the youths, self-proclaimed big sister to just about every teen out there, works part-time as a waitress at the diner, used to be engaged but we don’t talk about that, foster kid with no connection to blood-related family. 

plot one – coworker: someone at the diner! just someone to have her back, to gossip with, to hang out with after shifts, to just be gal pals with, you know? she needs more gal pals. i love throwing movie references in there, but – think whiplash with ellen page. that kind of aesthetic, that kinda shit. from mid to late twenties, a woman because i don’t care for men. 

plot two – pseudo-sibling: i want her to really play the big sister role with someone! have a little baby she can pass all her heaux wisdom down on. just a wee bean that she considers a little sibling of sorts. she could even house them for a bit since she’s back to living alone! they’d have to be in their teens and gender, once again, does not matter!

* NEW ! plot three – foster sibling: she already has like fifteen, so give her another. tris is probably the youngest among the bunch and owen ( played by fanny ) is somewhere in the middle. it’s just a nice jewish household that fostered a lot kids, cool? any fc, any ethnicity, any gender! just older than twenty-five, is all i’m asking. neat, thank you for coming to my ted talk. 

cowell, stefan – quick summary: twenty-nine, scorpio, construction worker, married ( lumen: played by pj ), got a little sister who he always fights with ( arella: played by kt, whenever she returns to us ), hates dogs, kind of a prick, a huge prick actually, sort of running from the law but like on the low-key, always 100% done with just about everyone’s shit. 

plot one – work buddy: like i said, he works construction. and i want him to have one friend. like a singular friend. someone to grab a beer with, someone who he doesn’t wanna strangle. it’ll be a miracle but it’s a miracle i deserve damnit. they’d have to be in their late twenties or older, a dude and any fc. 

plot two – neighbour: it sounds like a basic plot, but i promise you – it’s worth it! i want him to have a god damn family feud plot going on, okay? i want them to fight, i want neighbours ( 2013 ) as a plot on tumblr dot com. i want him to hate them and i want them to hate him. fc don’t matter! gender don’t matter! preferably around his age or older, though. 

halonen, oliver – quick summary: thirty, aquarius, part-time mechanic, part-time bartender ( think coyote ugly because that’s hot ), used to be engaged ( marty: played by tasha ), got a fake daughter ( pauline: played by pj ), has some slight drug issues she’s working out atm, also her dad’s back from the dead ( uriah: played by lane ), she’s super nice and cute and you should all love her sarcastic ass. 

plot one – work friend: i feel like i just want everyone to have coworkers, but listen… i genuinely just do. either someone that works as a mechanic alongside her or another bartender who sometimes uses their bod for tips, it’s all good. i want her to have one friend her own god damn age, you know? they��d have to be a gal because men are smelly. age would be around her own and that’s it!

plot two – dealer: listen… drugs come from somewhere. and even if she’s not currently using, i’d love for her to have that dynamic. maybe she owes them money, we can make it hella messy or we can make them chill pals, idc! i just need her dealer her and i need them to push some drugs. plus it’s a buy one get one for free type of deal ( see my plots for ed further down ). i want them to be a little older than herself but other than that it’s free for interpretation. 

* NEW ! plot three – drug bud: this bitch is from texas and this bitch did a lot of drugs in texas. she spent her early twenties high as fuck, overdosed at 24 and then got clean. legend? yes. she’s got a lot of good influences, aside from one particular asshole, and i just want her to be more pulled into old habits! let her have some friends from her old life of criminality and drugs come to sheffield and shake things up. any fc and gender, though they’d have to be in their 30′s!

hodgins, nathaniel – quick summary: twenty-one, gemini, works as chef at the pub, skipped college to help his mama with the bills, got a cutie-patootie golden retriever, dad is in prison after a drunk driving accident that killed a 10 year old, moved to sheffield a few years ago for a fresh start, a big ass home of sexual, has a crush on a comp het ( vince: played by pj ), loves his mother more than anything, only child, conceals trauma with humour and bad puns. 

* NEW ! plot one – ex-something: now, i’m not saying they dated. i’m saying they hooked up and it never lead anywhere. it can be angsty, it can be fine, it can be a garbage fire. we can work out the details whenever, i’m cool like that. any fc and any gender, though preferably in their early twenties!

holstad, damian – quick summary: eighteen, aries, the biggest fuccboi you’ve ever laid your eyes upon, fucked your girlfriend ( and he meant it ), brother to the biggest loser in town ( lou: played by tasha ), parties every weekend, best friends with the second biggest fuccboi in town ( artemus: played by nico ), kinda soft but he won't ever let you know that, has a crush on his brother’s bff ( pauline: played by pj ).

plot one – ex-girlfriend: it’s simply unrealistic that he hasn’t dated at least one of the fifty bazillion girls he’s smanged. now, it’s probable they didn’t last more than a few months but its still a plot I NEED. she’d be either a junior or senior in high school right now. so, either graduating now or next year. face claim don’t matter. it’s possible he cheated, he’s an asshole like that.

* NEW ! plot two – more fuccpeople: at this point, i’m collecting them. there are a bunch of fuccbois in damian’s life right now, and i need there to be more. there needs to be a whole fracking pack of them. just running around town, smanging ladies and taking names. could’ve played football with him, could’ve graduated with him, could’ve just lived next door – i dunno! around eighteen… a boy, or a girl! fuccgirls are VALID too. 

kinney, sawyer – quick summary: twenty, sagittarius, volunteers at animal shelter, studying to become a vet, loves animals more than she’ll ever love a man, has a rescued bunny named waffles, her parents died in a car-crash we don’t talk about it, has a younger brother ( grayson: played by patty ), soccer is her life, also wanna fuck the soccer coach ( elliot: played by lane ), her first ‘kiss’ was a dare at age 5 with her cousin ( holden: played by pj ) for an ice cream, did i mention she loves animals, takes virginities for charity, happened once but i demand its a thing now, boinking mr edgelord ( quentin: played by pj ).

plot one – team mates: soccer is cool! soccer is for champions! she’s currently the team captain of the local all-girls soccer team, i know – such a title. and i want her to have more of a team. so gather up your gals in their late teens to early twenties and kick some balls around!

plot two – ex-boyfriend: before she swiped virginities and had sex with boys who love serial killers, she probably had a steady boyfriend. kind of a puppy-love-they’ll-probably-get-married-straight-out-of-high-school relationship, you know? they probably broke up because they were way too young and it was more of an availability thing rather than genuine attachment. does that make sense? it’s a small town! their parents probably loved their child’s respective partner than they loved each other. 20-22, any boy of any fc i’m not picky.

* NEW ! plot three – enemy: it’s a hard plot to ask for, but i request you hear me out. she never fights with anyone. she’s SO NICE. a walking mary sue, i swear. and she’s just friends with everyone. it’s boring! give me someone that gets under her skin! someone for her to absolutely fucking hate! for no reason or for a reason, idk! around twenty-one, any gender.

larsen, margaret – quick summary: forty-two, libra, has one terrible son ( teddy: played by lane ), though she loves him more than anything, left the country because she was a hoe, mortician, got knocked up by her professor that one time, kind of boinking her son’s bandmate ( holden: played by pj ), doing her best all the time but keeps on making mistakes, the biggest mama-bear you’ll ever stumble upon. 

plot one – ex-hook-up: listen, she left the states to study in the uk – mostly to get away from her parents – but also because she had a bit of a reputation. like, a really bad one. so if you have a character, or want to play a character, that grew up in sheffield and are in their forties… wink wonk. that’s it. that’s the plot. 

* NEW ! plot two – hater, hater: peggy was a skank in her youth, okay? she was a downright slut and she probably rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. she most likely still does! so, i want some judgmental hoes up in this bitch. i want them to bicker and i want it to be very small-town-desperate-housewives-esque. any lady. preferably around her age range, would’ve lived in sheffield all her life.

* NEW ! plot three – best friend: peggy only ever speaks to kids, it’s weird. give her. bud, and like i said above… desperate housewives is a fucking neat ass show. they can drink wine and they can gossip and they can judge her for the people she’s sleeping with. or, well, person. any woman in her 40′s, please and thank.

mullin, casper – quick summary: fifteen, aries, fucking love aliens, the government is lying to y’all, has got a whole ass squad of friends, kinda gay for one of them ( eli: played by pj ), kinda intimidated by another ( ava: played by lane ), if it wasn't obvious he’s a gay, has a pupper that means the world to him, always investigates creepy shit because he is that white person.

plot one – disgraced nuclear physicist: you heard me. basically just the plot of back to the future. someone a bit ( a lot ) older than casper himself that kinda takes him under their wing. they’re as nutty as him when it comes to conspiracy theories, and maybe they feed his ideas and stuff when it comes to the shit going on in town. please and thank you. 

pearce, minoo – quick summary: twenty-one, aquarius, the biggest of edgelords, expert in stick n poke tattoos, hates her family, loves their big ass dog, a military brat, skated pretty much everywhere because she’s a walking cliche, not anymore though cause her bff broke it ( vince: played by pj ), invented grunge, would kill herself for the lead singer of zero boys, wants her mom to die ( rachel: played by lane ), wants the cop who's trying to get in her pants to die even more ( sera: played by tasha ), almost dropped out of high school fifty times but i forgot to make it canon. 

* NEW ! plot one – enemy: i love enemies. anyways, mj is a fucking bitch. she’s so edgy, she’s not like other girls, and she definitely would end up in a fight with just about anybody. there’s no way in HECK there aren’t people in town who hate her guts. they could’ve gone to college with her, they could’ve gone to high school with her, i dunno! i just want her to FIGHT. preferably a girl, preferably in her age range. 

oswalt, kevin – quick summary: nineteen, virgo, had the most tumultuous of childhoods involving both kidnapping and murder, she doesn’t talk about it, has sort-of-a-boyfriend ( jamie: played by pj ), and a definitely best friend ( pippa: played by lane ), currently living with her father ( dalton: played by britt ) without the knowledge that she’s his daughter, her life is messy, she likes books and writing, thinks sheffield is kinda fascinating, the biggest of nerds, kinda awkward but we forgive her. 

plot one – brother: we already have her father, mother ( marion: played by nesh ), and two sisters ( lila: played by luna, and hazel: played by fanny ), and now all that’s missing is the second youngest kid! he’d be like 21 years old, white with blue eyes because that’s a trait near and dear to us, and … a dude-bro. we have this hc that he’s in a band and kinda just does his own thing. free-spirit. also, to summarise the family history REAL QUICK – you can ask for more deets – kev got kidnapped, family fell apart, marion and dalton got divorced, the kids chose sides, markus ( the brother ) chose to stay neutral, they moved away while dalton stayed, and now they’re all back. 

plot two – study pal: not quite as in-depth as the one above, but! she needs a study pal. she’s currently attending the local college and she has zero friends who actually go to school. give me someone for her to work on stupid projects with, someone she’s forced to get to know and get out of her comfort zone with. they’d be 19-20 and fc/gender has no importance. 

sutton, eduardo – quick summary: fifty-two, taurus, literal fucking drug-lord, gang leader, owns the silhouette bar outside of town, loves his daughter a lot ( carmen: played by britt ), never smoked a weed in his life, jk, lost his wife a bazillion years ago, now banging the woman who failed save her ( lorelai: played by patty ), has three dogs which he kinda loves more than his daughter, killed a lot of mens in his life, just all around a good dude. 

plot one – brother: ed comes from an cuban-catholic family from new orleans and his father was kind of an asshole but his mom was alright. however, he was always closest to his little brother. so please, for the love of god, play him. you’ll get to play an uncle if you do, it’s pretty hot. any cuban fc in their late forties would work, but raul esparza is a hot fucking take. 

plot two – gang members: he’s a gang leader, ok? he needs more to lead. they hang out at the silhouette bar, push drugs through town and are all around just a good group of people. give me all of them to be honest. think the southside serpents from riverdale. or whatever they’re called in sons of anarchy. fc and gender and stuff don’t matter, however – ed would never allow someone under twenty-five. he’s a family man. 

talbot, mikhail – quick summary: thirty, pisces, the softest boy you’ll ever meet, a nurse at the local hospital, got a kid on the way, dating a ginger bitch ( liza: played by pj ), best friends with his cousin ( nic: also played by pj ), best friends with his ex ( emma: played by lane and not pj ) coaches the kids football team during his spare time, also works a couple of shifts at his father’s ( robert: played by luna ) hardware store, really just genuinely fucking nice, kinda depressed but you’d never know. 

plot one – high school friends: he’s lived in sheffield his whole life. he was on the football team, he was popular – he was a fun dude to hang with. it’s unrealistic none of his high school friends stuck around. so! give me a couple of those. they can be anybody as long as they’re around thirty years old.

plot two – kids to coach: self-explanatory, really. but if you want to play a kid on the football team, speak now or forever hold your peace. teens, boys probably because sports ball is sexist, just someone for him to coach and teach the way of sports ball life. 

weathers, elizabeth – quick summary: forty-two, sagittarius, freaking neurotic, forgets her own son ( eli: played by pj ), remembers her other every now and again ( jesse: played by nico ), wishes she could forget her husband ( andy: played by lane ), her bestest and smallest son was taken from her almost two years ago, yes this plot came before she was winona ryder don’t judge me, stay at home mom yet has no reason to stay at home.

* NEW ! plot one – emotional support: the woman lost her son, she needs like a mom support group on facebook. she needs someone who understands her loss. maybe someone who’s lost their own kid, obviously not to a giant bunny, but it’d still be kind of relatable. someone she can discuss her divorce plans with, you know? a woman in her forties, i’ll accept nothing else.

Lyon is running late for his date with Meredy

“You gotta be kidding me.” Lyon gritted his teeth in annoyance. The repeating sentence on the screen just fueled his irritation and panic.

All trains to Hargeon have been cancelled for today.

Something about a fire mage destroying the train rails or something, Lyon didn’t care enough to pay attention anymore. The only thing racing through his mind was the idea that he would be late for his date with Meredy.

“Shit.”

Their relationship was complicated enough already without Lyon pulling out things like this. With Meredy needing to constantly hide from the Magic Council, their meetings had to be quick and planned and sometimes cut short as she would be called for an impromptu job by Crime Sorciere. He had seen her twice in the last month and even when they talked all the time through the communication lacrima, it wasn’t the same as holding her in his arms and kissing her soft warm lips.

Yes, Lyon had been missing her so much and he had been eagerly looking forward for this date when she had texted him to tell him she would be in Hargeon for a day and a half.

I’ll be at Edolas coffee shop Monday at 5 o’clock. Can’t wait to see you! - M

He did a little happy dance after reading her text and planned a week ahead to have today free for his date with Meredy.

It was unexpected, and a bit annoying, when Lyon’s Master asked him first to go to Magnolia to give a letter to Makarov. Well, he had a couple hours to spare, so this little errand wouldn’t be too bothersome. By 10 in the morning he entered Makarov’s office, handing off the envelope quickly and waving the old master goodbye. He was supposed to leave immediately, not wanting to waste any more time in case something would come across his way to Hargeon.

Unfortunately, a certain said something had been another ice-make mage that dragged Lyon into a stupid brawl with the rest of the Fairy Tail mages.

And though he thoroughly enjoyed himself during the fight, not caring as he lost some of his clothing out of habit, his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach as he glanced at the clock on the far wall of the guild.

3:30 pm.

He scrambled quickly to grab his clothes, putting them on as fast as he could as he bolted through the guild doors and headed to the train station. He could still make it in time if he grabbed the first train to Hargeon. Just an hour ride by train and a 10 minute power walk to the coffee shop and Lyon would be in time for their date.

It was just his luck that today of all days the rails from Magnolia to Hargeon had been destroyed. It would take him three hours to walk there and he didn’t carry enough jewels with him to rent a magical vehicle to reach Hargeon in time.

“How the hell am I going to get there now?!” His low voice showed his worry as he tried to thing on any other option to get to Hargeon.

“Hurry up! We need get this stuff to Hargeon today!” A voice to his right caught Lyon’s attention. He noticed just then the big blue truck being loaded with lots of cardboard boxes from different sizes. Two men hurried themselves at trying to get every box inside the truck as fast as they could, but Lyon could tell it would still take them a while before they could fit everything inside the truck.

An idea popped in his head and he immediately rushed to the men’s side. “Hey! Need a hand with all of that?”

“Good luck on your date pal!” The driver waved off as he and his partner drove away towards their destination. They had been kind enough to drop off Lyon a block away from Edolas coffee shop since the ice-make mage helped them load the truck faster and saved them lots of time when a flat tire stopped them in the middle of the road.

Lyon sighed as he saw the truck disappear down the road. He looked at a nearby clock and winced when the starking realization dawned on him.

He was late.

5:30 pm.

Thirty minutes late.

He ran his hand through his white hair trying to quell his anxiety. During the entire trip from Magnolia to Hargeon he had forced himself to remain calm and not to give in to the million thoughts coursing through his racing mind.

Everything’s gonna be alright. I’ll get there in time. He repeated to himself over and over again.

They should have made it to Hargeon in an hour or so, but the flat tire halfway through the trip crushed all of Lyon’s hopes to reach the cafe by 5 pm. He tried texting Meredy as soon as he left Magnolia, telling her that he was on his way but might be a couple minutes late, but apparently she didn’t get his text. Lyon assumed then that she must have forgotten her communication lacrima, something that happened quite often whenever she got too excited about anything. So with no way of calling her or texting her and with him arriving late to their date, his only hope was that she had stayed at the cafe waiting for him to show up. He was going to apologize profusely but it will all be okay as long as he’d get to see her today.

Taking a deep breath, Lyon steadied his nerves and he walked around the corner to where he knew he would find Edolas coffee shop. Yet again, he froze on his spot as the cafe came into view.

“No, no, no!” He rushed to the front door, trying to push it open but it wouldn’t bulge. He peeked inside and saw it was completely deserted with the lights off.

What the hell?! Why is it closed?!

By this time of the day, the coffee shop was usually bursting with life and movement from the sea of customers that enjoyed the food and drinks served in this place. It was Meredy’s favorite coffee shop and they used the heavily busy cafe so Meredy could hide amongst the crowd if she needed to make a sudden run from the Magic Council.

Why? Why?! WHY?!

His forehead hit the glass door defeatedly, making it rattle but still not opening. Everything just had to go wrong today, right?

His eyes closed as he bumped his head against the frame again, leaning his entire body into it. How was he supposed to find Meredy now? Without the communication lacrima and with the cafe being closed, he had no idea where to start looking. For all he knew, she might had left Hargeon already, since the cafe wouldn’t suffice the hiding spot they needed for their date.

He slammed his fist against the door repeatedly. “Stupid, stupid, stupid.”

“Lyon?” A sweet voice called him and he straightened up immediately at the melodic sound. His name always sounded wonderful whenever it left her lips.

Meredy stood a few steps from him with her usual dark-blue hood over her head concealing her bright pink hair as best as it could. When his gaze met her warm eyes, his breath caught up in his throat as a red blush spread over his cheeks. It didn’t matter how long they had been dating for, Lyon would always marveled at how beautiful she is.

A moment passed between them as Lyon remained silent blinking comically at his girlfriend. “Lyon? Are you okay?” She tilted her head to the side. Concern and amusement danced in her eyes at looking at the ice-make mage who had been banging his head against the cafe’s door.

Lyon finally recovered gasping as he turned to face her directly. “Meredy!” He closed the distance between them with two quick steps. His mouth opened and closed like a gaping fish as his mind raced with all the things he wanted to say. “Y-you’re here! ‘M so sorry- it’s Gray’s fault! And t-then the train- and the flat tire- and-and why the hell is the coffee shop closed?!” He waved his hands frantically, growing more flustered by the second.

His rambling halted as she giggled in that unique way of hers that had her eyes closing and crinkling on the edges in mirth with her hand moving to try to conceal the beautiful sounds that would escape her lips. All nervousness, all anxiety and worry left him as Lyon’s lips quirked upwards in a gentle smile.

Gods, how he loved to hear her laugh.

“Lyon, I can’t understand anything you’re saying,” she said between giggles. She locked her eyes with his and noticed he was more relaxed now as his soft gaze make her feel like she was the only thing in the world that mattered to him; the gentle smile was still present on his lips.

Lyon sighed and scratched the back of his head bashfully. “I’m sorry I’m late for our date.”

“Huh? Date?”

“Yeah?” His brow furrowed slightly at the confusion behind her tone. “You texted me to meet you here at 5 today.” Did she forgot about their date?

Her eyes widened for a moment, her mouth forming a small ‘o’ as it dawned on her why Lyon was standing in front of Edolas coffee shop when the cafe was unmistakably closed today.

Then, Meredy laughed.

Hard.

The type of laugh that one can’t contain and rattles their entire body to the core. The type of laugh that comes in just a few occasions and can be caused by just a few important people in their lives. The type of laugh Meredy had shared only with Lyon because he was the only one able to bring that burst of joy to her life.

Lyon’s frown deepened at her reaction, confusion tilting his head to the side as he watched her clutch her sides from how hard she was laughing. “What’s so funny?” Dammit, her laugh was so contagious that it took all of Lyon’s willpower not to join her in the laughter. He was curious on why did she find this to be so amusing.

She draw a deep breath to calm herself a bit to answer him, amusement and joy still coating her voice. “I said Monday, silly.”

“So? It is Monday.”

“Dummy!” Another set of giggles escaped her mouth. “Today is Sunday!”

Lyon’s jaw dropped as it dawned on him that he somehow had forgot what day it truly was. All his anxiety and stress over getting to Hargeon on time had been uncalled for and now he understood Meredy’s amusement. He dragged his hand over his face and soon enough joined Meredy in her laughter that had resumed at his dumbfounded expression.

“I’m such an idiot.” He laughed. “Is that why the coffee shop is closed then?”

“Mhm!” Meredy nodded. “I finished my mission sooner than I thought. So I came here to pass the time until I could get to see you tomorrow.” She smiled so brightly and sweetly that Lyon’s heart did a somersault in his chest.

She stepped closer to him until he could feel the warmth of her body just a breath away from his. “Since we’re already here,” she gave him a small peck on his cheek that sent his heart racing again, “how about we take a walk around town? I know a great place that serves the most delicious ice cream I’ve ever had!” Her voice took on the happier tone as she clasped her hands behind her back, looking even more adorable than she already was.

All Lyon could do was nod mutely, all words dying in his throat from the flood of emotions washing over him. All his troubles from earlier might seemed pointless by now, but being with Meredy and laughing alongside her was everything he had been looking for. No matter how stressful the day had been, everything was worth it to see that bright smile and shining eyes.

He offered her his arm, which she gladly took. Arm in arm, they walked down the street laughing and chatting about their lives.

Apparently Lyon wasn’t late to his date with Meredy. He was awfully and luckily early.
