HAPPY LUKE DAY 🎂💌

call back to yesterday's post

luke probably memorized yayas number before he was even 16. so when he was away, maybe he'd repeat it in his head like a mantra. the lifeline still tying him to her, even with this distance between them.

imagine if one moment he finally caved... finally sent a call her way. maybe he was still away, maybe back in stellis, it doesn't matter. he calls it, breath held as it dials,... and then it bounces back. the call declines. the number doesn't blong to her anymore. she changed it... that connection severed. maybe it's a sign. maybe he shouldn't come back... did she still want him? remember him?

YOURE EVIL YOURE AN EVIL MEAN MAN

what is wrong with you I know he’s sad don’t make him sadder !!!!!

what makes it worse is how much yaya struggled after luke left. rosa did the best she could to help her, but once they were in college together, with rosa pursuing her law career…….there was only so much she could do. I imagine at first yaya had an address for luke, perhaps his dorm or apartment before the nsb. she definitely sent letters trying to reach them, but they were always returned to her. they’re probably sit in a box under her bed for years because she’s too upset to look at them again.

12 days of lukeyaya day 5.5.

I think winters felt more alone when luke arrived back in stellis. the ice slick sidewalks no longer were places to carefully try to show off in front of his girl, the snow covered grass no longer a place to flop down and make snow angels with her. he was alone under that drab gray sky, and it made the howling of the winter wind ever louder in his ears.

I can picture him sitting alone to look at the snow. it's the same snow he remembers falling in the same way he remembers in the same streets he remembers... but it's different now. and he's cold and he doesn't care if his coat is on right because he's going to die anyway isn't he? and he sees a group of kids rub by, bundled up and giggling, and he sees their faces in them. he sees her in the little girl sweetly stumbling and telling the other kids to be careful, and he sees himself in the one that stops to help her gain her footing. and he feels his longing for her nestle in it's home in his chest, heavy and cold. meeting her again was just a selfish dream at this point, but he would have given anything in that moment to hold her hand in the snow and feel human again

hey. so this is evil and twisted

don’t get me started on thinking about how luke felt coming back to stellis…..you’re making me want to finish a fic I started like forever ago about it ;;

he’d be nervous to return to his old haunts, but I think he would do it anyways. standing outside their elementary school. at the dingy little cafe they went to during break during high school. the streets they walked side by side everyday. everything is so different now and he doesn’t know if anything will get better, much less if anything will ever return to normal. it stings.

12 days of lukeyaya day 5

the two of them were such little joys, I could see both wanting to help decorate where they lived. not exclusively for Christmas, but since at least Yaya celebrates, it would be included.

cutting snowflakes into paper to hang on the wall between their places. finding cheap fairy lights bc they can't find any Christmas lights in store.... getting lectured bc they wanted to sprinkle powdered sugar outside to make snowy footprints and were met with a resounding "no". in the grand scheme of things, the decorations r kind of low to the ground because small kids put them up. but it looks cute and homemade and adds a spot of personalization to the space where they both live

oh so real…..imagining them crafting little ornaments together and making sure to hang their favorites close together on the tree.

when I was a kid my favorite part of decorating was making a ridiculously long paper chain….it was so much fun and so cute to hang up. I think little lukeyaya would do that too….little baby lukeyaya making these massive coils of paper chains together……the paper snowflakes would be so cute too…..they would leave so many little paper flakes on the floor while cutting their designs in ;_;

I’m not totally sure if stellis even observes christmas, but I imagine yaya’s family being foreigners probably brought it with them (in a secular form) so…I think it would be a little cute for them to teach luke some of the traditions like leaving cookies for santa and stockings and all that…if luke and Rosa’s family didn’t celebrate yaya would ask her parents to get them stockings to hang up in their apartment.

it’s over for me

12 days of lukeyaya 4.5

do you think the christmases alone ever got to him. how many times luke sat there wishing he was back home. cold and alone. do you think they told him he couldnt keep things like his personal belongings so the phone she used to call and leave voice messages on was ripped away from him. do you think in the hours leading up to that he desperately tried to memorize how her voice sounded. replaying the calls in his head desperately until all aspects of her voice were wrung clean out and it was just his own miserable voice bouncing back at him. the other boys would clap him on the back and wish him a good holiday but all his forlorn eyes could lock onto was the memory of spending them with her. and hed clutch the cheap burner phone they gave him in his hand so hard his knuckles would turn white as he pondered whatever punishment theyd give him if he punched her number into it and ran. the cold would worsen the symptoms he was experiencing, not as bad as they are now but still worsened, and his eyelids would flutter shut as he watched the snow fall, wondering if hed ever get to walk thru it with her again. did it get to him, you think

what on earth is wrong with you . I don’t have enough lexapro for this . hello .

every so often I think about how the NSB so truly destroyed luke’s life for their own benefit and did him absolutely no favors for it. they got their perfect agent and he got misery, isolation and essentially, a death sentence because of their mistakes. and I just ……….

thinking about him being separated from this personal belongings as an adult just makes me think of how he had his parent’s gifts and belongings to him taken away as a child. if hoyo was really evil they would make a reverse illustration of the first evol of the burning reminiscence card (my first luke ssr <3)

thinking of luke in the barren sleeping quarters, losing his last reminder of his life before the NSB, feeling just the same as the child hiding under the covers. except this time? there’s no one to crawl under the covers and hold him through it.

12 days of lukeyaya day one:

do you think luke puts marshmallows in his hot chocolate? does yaya? if he makes some for them is it obvious who has which because of them, or do they both drink it the same? do they have cute wintery mugs? describe the designs on them. would they make any together at a pottery studio?

12 days of what now

well........

they both like marshmallows in their cocoa. they like to get ones in fun shapes and colors if they see them while shopping. these two are forever kids at heart when they're together <3 they also like cookie straws and things like biscotti with their hot drinks.

when it comes to mugs...well their apartment is full of them for one thing. simply scattered everywhere. particularly around their desks for when yaya has late night painting sessions or luke is tinkering on something.

they have a lot of matching ones because someone (luke) has access to the internet and keeps finding them and clicking add to cart immediately without even thinking. their favorite ones have cute heart shaped handles <3

pottery might be the most lukeyaya date ever. it combines their curiosity and creativity and is overall just warm and cozy and lovely :) they do those dates where they choose something to make/paint for the other !!

12 days of lukeyaya day 7

luke always had a habit of being the most unprepared prepared guy. when little, he'd run out into the snow with little more than boots and a thin jacket on him, rosa and Yaya running after him carrying some clothing for him. Yaya would take her own mittens off to give them to him if she had to. she'd make him stand still and put her scarf around his neck and he'd grip her cold little hand and sadly ask what about her. she'd shift on her feet as she said she's fine and he'd frown and adjust the scarf so it could wrap around both of them. their pink little ears and noses from the cold... but when they breathed it was like they were sharing the same air, brought so close together by the scarf. maybe little luke would want to keep running out to play in the snow without the proper gear, just so she can take care of him again

THIS IS SO REAL

it definitely started on accident, just due to his eagerness to get out in the snow. but eventually it becomes their own unspoken habit.

after all, yaya could easily remind luke to get his scarf and gloves but…wouldn’t it be so much better to share a scarf with her friend and hold his cold hands in hers to warm them up? so she runs into the snow after him, until their cheeks and noses are red from the snow and she could just insist that he take her gloves. she was fine! don’t worry! but she’s particularly smiley when he wraps the scarf around the both of them and they keep tumbling around in the fresh white snowfall.

12 days of lukeyaya day 6

little lukeyaya grabbing some skates and trudging out to ice skate... their jackets r big and puffy and they're a little wobbly and awkward but it's fun..... their little ears pink and their noses runny. mittened hands grasping each other tightly to try to keep balance, pulling the other down when they slip.

and adult lukeyaya stepping back out one winter... they're bigger and maybe one of them is better at skating now, but they still grasp onto each other's hands like a lifeline. scarf piled up around their faces so they can nuzzle their cold noses against them... leaning in close to nose at the other person's scarf to try to get a kiss..... luke would grin boyishly if Yaya wrapped her arms around his neck to hold on close... they'd fall together still but at least they're together now after so long

oh i want to go ice skating so bad…….

they’d be so so so cute. it would take a long time for little yaya to feel confident on the ice…she clings to the wall and sticks to the sides of the rink for a long time. little luke tries to convince her to come further out while holding his hand but she’s so worried that she’ll slip and bring him with her - which turns out to be valid concern because that is exactly what happens when he finally convinces her. they both tumble across the ice and little yaya is so so worried and sad trying to help him back up but luke just laughs and seeing that, little yaya laughs along with him. despite their fall luke keeps trying to convince her to hold his hand on the ice….for…..safety, you know?

as an adult, yaya loves skating but is still pretty clumsy with it. however, luke being so athletic takes to it impressively well. yaya thinks she wouldn’t mind just watching him skate around the ice because he does it so gracefully. (but of course he insists she come onto the ice with him and they are that one disgustingly cute couple practically holding each other on the rink)

12 days of lukeyaya day 4!!!

luke and yaya went to school together all the way up until lukes parting right? so imagine like. little luke wanting to give yaya a christmas gift but.... well shes his deskmate. she can see the crafts hes making in class. lets pretend that stellis elementary schools observe christmas. luke doing the most trying to bend over or hide it under his desk while he makes it like some sort of super spy so that he can give it to his crush.... glitter falling everywhere and its the same cookie-cutter sort of project the entire class did but he presents it to her with such a cute smile.... hed probably also make her a gift at home with rosas family so she didnt see.... or maybe begs them to take him to the store so he can try to get something for her.... hes just so earnest and sweet, and he loves her so much. so much love in such a little guy!!

what would little her do for a gift for him ?

little lukeyaya my favorite ………. he’d make such an operation about it too. little yaya at her desk just like “?” while he hunches over the desk, using some of his coat as a shield (after class his clothes are covered with small bits of glitter) little yaya grins so big when he gives it to her and hugs him tightly :)

I can absolutely imagine little luke employing rosa to help him at home. which is extra silly to imagine because yaya would also ask rosa for help. she’s out here living a double life keeping holiday secrets all while luke and yaya hide their secret gifts for rosa too.

I think little yaya would try to make something at home for luke. I could see her writing and illustrating (clumsily because she’s so little) a little construction paper book starring him as a detective. she might also make him some beaded bracelets (maybe they could even match !!)

[softskiesahead]

someone should come cuddle with me under the stars I think

[softskiesahead]

it’s not a luke card if he isn’t randomly shirtless for some reason

[softskiesahead]

THIS CARD IS SOOO SWEETIE LOOK AT HIM. literally softest boy ever what do u mean he’s a secret agent

12 days of lukeyaya day 8

we talked about this this morning, but pre leaving luke trying to find gifts for Yaya is so darling to me. people always talk abt how clueless some guys are when make up is involved and I find that a little annoying (mostly bc if their gf is specifically interested in makeup they should make an effort to know yk), but luke is like that in a sweet way. he knows the brands she likes and isn't about to get her something like. neon. unless that's a look she wants to try. but he has a really hard time with the tiny details between them. does she prefer matte makeup? what does that even mean? does she want plumping lip gloss or regular? what does plumping do? flower knows is too much he can't afford that....

his cute way of shimmying up and down the aisles to try to find something, awkward and a little out of place. his school uniform a bit too big on him because he's growing lanky and they got something for him to grow into.

and he's not the kind of guy to wait until the last second to buy gifts. I hate men who go shopping in that last week, god forbid on christmas eve. luke was always trying to do this shit on time, but that doesn't mean he was immune to seeing something leading up to christmas that he'd add to his gift.

and imagine his conflict when they go to a miniso together. all the sanrio makeup... this lip gloss has my melody on it, but it's different from the brand she normally uses... which would she prefer?

god help this man

best of luck to poor luke <3 he’s lost but oh boy is he trying his best and it’s so so sweet….. teenage lukeyaya before he leaves is SO precious to me. they’re so cutie…..

him putting so much thought into it is really cute…..he knows what she likes but the details are so complex! I know we talked earlier about the sales clerks trying to help him out (and potientally freaking him out further). In the school uniform too……..he tells yaya to head home without him because he has an “errand” and she’s none the wiser.

….god help luke if yaya wanders into a miniso. they’re going to be there a while ^^;;;

[softskiesahead]
