12 days of lukeyaya day 12 (ending just in time to start something new very, very soon)

luke and yaya used to go to the same restaurant after school sometimes. they ordered the same things often, the same comforting meal.

maybe the place was local. maybe it had cute things like a wall of notes left by the more common patrons detailing their thoughts and feelings. what would become memories.

maybe luke and yaya went there for a while. maybe they stuck notes up there too, completely buried under notes from the teenagers now doing the same by their adulthood.

maybe the taste of those noodles still linger in lukes mouth with the NSB. he bites his tongue to try to flush the taste of blood out from his mouth and squeezes his eyes shut, trying to remember the taste of those noodles. the taste of youth with yaya.

hey. hey what do you mean very soon? what do you mean VERY SOON?

ohhh they definitely did…..u have no idea I’ve been working on something w this concept in it hehe :3 they were the type that definitely had their haunts as teenagers….

yaya making little doodles to stick up on the walls….making silly faces over steaming bowls of noodles…..

HAPPY LUKE DAY 🎂💌

[softskiesahead]

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

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 11. we had to take a short break do NOT talk about it.

lukeyaya school days are so real to me. the way they used to giggle... always sitting together in classes. a teacher with a seating chart was their nemesis. always passing notes, glancing at the other and trying not to giggle over god knows what.

since luke and rosa apparently had dorms at least some of the time, lukeyaya sneaking to go hang out with the other.... both bored doing homework and not resisting the urge to pull out their phones to text even though their rooms arent that far. lukes dorm decorated with the cute stickers she gives him (and hell later go "oh shit" when he has to pull the stickers off the wall). her dorm has some of his stuff in it too... maybe he forgets things or purposefully leaves them for her. and she always says shell return them but... she "forgets"...

the snacks they used to bring each other. luke whod sometimes skip breakfast telling yaya to eat before class like he can talk. guy who always carried some change to buy her a snack from the vending machine if she did skip. guy who always brought her something to drink. maybe if she had anything she had to go to practice for in the day hed leave it for her.... guy who was always looking out for her in school.

I was so sure you forgot about this I can’t believe u came back

they are SO real. they’re far from problem students but despite any seating chart they will always end up back next to eachother or leaning over the other’s desk during breaks or exchanging doodles whenever they can.

dorm life is so real with them. I imagine there’s like curfew and limits to who can go into certain dorms but it’s ok . the spy skills run deep they are going to hang out anyways. the stickers on the wall are SO silly to me because he so would. whenever yaya is over she hides little notes and doodles all over the place too.

yaya “forgets” things in his apartment as adults too. and in the dorms. and when they were neighbors despite literally sharing a wall. it’s like her move to make sure she has to see him again…LUKE SO CANNOT TALK ABOUT SKIPPING although he gets much better as an adult (yaya…not so much) they both know exactly what the other likes from the vending machine…..

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.

[softskiesahead]

luke tries to send yaya mail (that he could have just slipped under the frontdoor) to be cute bc hes just a little kid and it somehow ends up in a different province of the country stellis is in before making it back to them. shes his neighbor.

that is very little lukecore 😔 he’d be so busy anticipating it and slowly panicking while trying to keep it secret

[softskiesahead]

look at him………
