#rushing to finish r this before going out to dinner with the fam

[propertyofkylar]

what do you think your wedding night with kylar would be like??

oh anon...why have i never thought about this...

random ramblings and smut utc (m!kylar, options for any gender pc)

and yeah there’s some breeding kink mentioned what about it

kylar has definitely been crying all day. honestly he's been crying since you agreed to marry him.

but the day is finally here!! he probably doesn't want anything big or fancy. just the two of you in the forest (maybe his parents are there, hiding) because all that matters is that he gets to marry the love of his life!!

and after the wedding...well. kylar has been waiting for this since the day he first saw you.

obviously the two of you have had sex before. you have sex all the time. but it's different! your first time having sex - making love - as a married couple. kylar cannot wait to experience that.

and no matter how stunning you look in your wedding gown/suit...he's just thinking about what's going on underneath. please wear wedding lingerie for him, he will go feral <3

i know he's got some fancy kinda underwear on himself. he wants to impress you! he even took a shower!!

so it's your wedding night. kylar would want you to move into his manor (not like anyone from an orphanage would say no to that lol) and you're in his room. you've fucked in his bed so many times but kylar is shaking with nerves. and excitement. please be gentle w him

he’s been thinking about what to do for so long! he knows what he’s gonna do. he has it planned. poor guy is shaking like a leaf tho

he’s sooo cute he’s got candles all set up, probably threw rose petals all over the sheets

sure you guys just had sex literally last night (you know kylar could NOT handle the tradition of not seeing your spouse before the wedding) and the only real difference is the rings on your fingers but it’s SPECIAL to him!!

you’ll push him down to the bed like usual in your slutty wedding lingerie but kylar takes a deep breath and mumbled that he wants to make you feel good first.

also cannot stop calling you his husband/wife/spouse. it sends a thrill through him to think of it and he can’t stop himself!

gently (he doesn’t want to rip the delicate fabric) he pulls down your underwear and go down on you. he wants to taste what his SPOUSE tastes like. somehow you taste even sweeter (it’s the exact same just let him have his fun)

when you’re all hot and squirming beneath him he’ll pull away, his mouth wet and swollen and grinning wildly. you know he’s such a sub but it still is exciting to see you wanting him so bad.

and it’s time!! he’s shaking still but this time from how much he loves you (and how horny he is). his erection is absolutely straining against his underwear my god he’s probably never been so horny in his life. whether he’s about to sink his cock into your aching hole or you’re about to top him - he seriously has never been so ready in his life.

making love as a married couple on your wedding night is the most special thing kylar can imagine. he’s sobbing (both in an emotional way and a horny way) as he enters you or you enter him. definitely babbling about how much he loves you and how happy he is and how he’s so excited to finally be having sex with his SPOUSE!!

do NOT mention the possibility of getting pregnant on your wedding night or he will cum immediately.

truth be told he’s not gonna last long anyway. i mean come on, look at the guy.

when he does cum he has tears running down his face, his lips messily pressing against yours. he tells you this is the happiest he’s ever been and he means in.

and of course he makes sure you finish no matter what, hopefully before he does.

he’s panting against your naked chest, gazing at you so adoringly.

“m-my love…can we go again?”

yeah you guys aren’t getting any sleep tonight

college student! jackson x sugar daddy! mark // sugar daddy x baby socmed au

b a c k g r o u n d i n f o 🍓

jackson is THE popular kid despite him having his own set of financial problems. he lives with a foster family because his parents died in a car accident when he was 11, but still grew up to be a well-mannered, cheerful boy

mature 21 year old who knows his strenghts and weaknesses. very motivated and hard working, but tends to fall for the bad type rather than good influences. is also too nice and sweet to point out other’s mistakes and flaws so he usually goes along with whatever his friends do. has always wanted to move out because as much as he loves his foster family, he knows that they struggle with their own swt of problems as well and feels like a burden now that college fees are piling up

mark is a millionaire, successful bachelor at the fine age of 29. recognised for his success in starting and building his own business at 22, took him only 7 years to reach his current success of a multi-million enterprise in Seoul trading and exporting goods.

is a very mysterious figure to the press because he is extremely private about his life outside of work. lives alone, has no known dating history, only known family is his family in USA ands seems to be completely disinterested in relationships under than a tight-knit group of friends. the press would love to get some dirt on this successful businessman.

jjp are mark’s close friends and a power couple of Korea ( lgbtq+ rs are supported in korea in this au ) and have always wanted him to look for a partner. yugyeom, mark’s other close friend, also wants him to not be so lonely anymore since he’s pushing 30 already.

meanwhile, youngjae + bambam are jackson’s best friends. youngjae’s fam is jackson’s foster fam while the three of them all attend Seoul University tgt. they’re close friends because they all share an interest in music and just enjoy each other’s company. they’re the same age in this au, so they met at the usual freshmen orientation drinking session and bambam almost puked on jackson’s crotch. ever since then, they’ve been inseparable.

youngbam are also well known in the school - youngjae for performing on stage every year at the annual talent show while bambam is known for his cool style and being the vice president of the dance club.

p l o t 🍓

jackbamjae are joking arnd in their gc abt life after college when jackson finally tells them his plan to move out of his foster home after they finish their second year of college. yj ofc objects because he doesn’t see js as a burden, but respects jackson’s decision because js insists.

bambam suggests a sugar daddy website to get money. ofc, both of the other two question him on how he got to know such a site existed. he tells them that ten ( pres of the dance club ) got to know his bf through this site. bam tells them that it isn’t super shady or wtv and the men aren’t so bad at all

js says wtv and gives it a go, so he signs up with the help of bamjae. he has a basketball friendly match, so he rushes off after that

at the same time, mark’s bday is approaching. jjgyeom are planning a surprise for him and hopefully, it’ll include some sort of a date that mark will agree to go on. yugyeom had also come across the sugar daddy website by simply lurking on the nsfw side of the internet and jjp have learnt not to question him too much on what he does in his free time.

he found js’s profile and knowing mark’s type, immediately suggested the idea to jjp. jb, who’s been mark’s longest friend, says that mark might not completely be opposed to it because he knows that mark has been stressed lately and a way to let out that frustration would be good. jy, on the other hand, cautions that mark might not like the idea because mark is the kind of guy to value genuine relationships over meaningless hookups, not to mention paying someone for sex and whatnot. despite that, the three arrive at mark’s place on the night of his bday to surprise him

yg suggests the idea to mark after they’ve all had some dinner and mark obv gets mad at first. he says exactly what jy had said, but calms down after jjgyeom explain that they’ve all been worried about how he’s coping and don’t want him to be alone and stressed anymore. mark sees that his friends have good intentions and decides to give it a go, starting the convo with jackson over the website that night after all his friends have left

after about a week of weird dms and some actually good interactions over the site, jackson is about to give up because he hasn’t found anyone truly interested in talking and not just sex. then, he gets mark’s dm

the two hit it off immediately and they end up texting till 3am. they exchanged socmed accounts before they went to bed as well, and js decides to tell bamjae in the morning abt it.

they obv know who the hell mark tuan is and are freaking out over this. jackson rmbs that mark had told him not to spread this and realises that’s the reason why. he warns bamjae not to tell anyone, even their other close friends. bamjae suggest for him to keep texting and to even meet mark on the weekend.

they meet and it goes well and stuff, them slowly establishing their own sort of relationship. they’re more platonic than sexual most of the time, but they do look for each other when they’re horny and in need of release

one day, the press captures mark waiting for js after school at seoul uni + js getting into his car. they post an article with a caption insinuating that mark has a secret relationship, which he fires down with an instagram post about invading his privacy and posting false rumours. he does this because he’s scared that js might be affected.

js is affected, because he realises that he doesn’t mind being in a genuine relationship with mark at all. he tells bamjae ofc, and they help him to realise that he might have developed feelings for the older man. he freaks out because that isn’t part of the deal of being a sugar baby but he doesn’t want to cut mark off either

it’ll end happily, definitely, but the angst will come right after this and i hope it’ll be good :<

Christmas 1991 (Charlie x Female MC)

“Ron and his brothers were staying, too, because Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were going to Romania to visit Charlie.” Turns out MC was invited too!

Word count: ~1500

Note: This is my first HPHM fic. I just couldn’t get the idea out of my mind, so I had to write it. Feel free to message me with other HPHM fic requests. Feedback is appreciated!

“Here you go, Miss,” the cab driver says as he stops the car in front of one of several quaint white cottages along the street. “Merry Christmas!”

You fumble around in your bag for some money, surprised to feel so nervous at your arrival. “Thanks, you too!” you say, handing him the bills before sliding out of the back seat with your luggage. The evening December chill rushes to your face, and you wrap your (house name) scarf around you one more time in an attempt to get warmer. But even in the bitter cold, all you can do is smile as you see the string of lights adorning the roof and the glimpse of the lit Christmas tree through the front window. This is the first time this month you are actually feeling the holiday spirit.

Knocking on the door, your heart fills as soon as it opens and you see Mrs. Weasley standing in the doorway.

“(Y/N)! Come in, come in,” she says, smiling brightly as she ushers you into the warm house and wraps you into a hug. “Happy Christmas, dear. We’re so glad you could make it.”

“Thanks so much for having me,” you say, accepting her motherly embrace. Even though you have only spoken to Mrs. Weasley a handful of times at Platform 9¾, she is still possibly the sweetest woman you have ever met.

“Of course, dear. You’re practically family with the way Charlie and Bill talk about you.” She pats your shoulder, and you can’t help but feel nervous again at the mention of Charlie’s name. You haven't seen Charlie, or any of your friends for that matter, for nearly six months. Traveling the world as a Curse-Breaker after finishing your final year at Hogwarts has kept you annoyingly busy, and this is the first week you've had off since you started.

“Hey stranger,” a familiar voice says to your right, and your nerves wash away as soon as you turn your head. Standing in the doorway that leads to the kitchen is no other than Charlie Weasley. You can’t stop the swarm of butterflies that flutter in your stomach at the sight of him- the familiar speckled face, red sweater, and hair pulled into a low ponytail.

“Charlie!” Unable to contain your excitement, you drop your bag and run towards him, colliding into him with a bear hug. You’re surprised at how dense he feels now as he squeezes you back with arms that you don’t remember being quite so thick- being a dragonologist must be even more physically demanding than you’d expect. You breathe in the familiar honeysuckle and grass smell on his sweater and silently wish he’d never stop hugging you.

“I missed you too,” he breathes into your ear with a chuckle, sending a chill down your spine. You make the mistake of lifting your head up to look at him, and his face is so close to yours, all you want is for there to be mistletoe hanging above you and someone to accuse you of standing under it. You’ve tried so hard to ignore these feelings which have been around since your fourth year of Hogwarts. You hoped the silly crush you developed on him after Bill introduced you two would pass quickly, but it just got worse the more time you spent with him. After you finally accepted how you felt by your seventh year, he was suddenly following his dreams here to Romania and you were coerced into traveling the world as a Curse-Breaker. The worst part is you didn't even have the balls to ask if he felt the same way before you left.

“Hey, I know you guys were in the same year and all, but we were friends first,” Bill teases from the kitchen, breaking you from your thoughts.

“Hey!” You reluctantly let go of Charlie and move to give Bill a quick hug, his tall, slender frame a much different feel from Charlie’s broad chest.

“I believe this is for you,” Charlie says, walking up beside you and nodding toward the present on the kitchen counter. Glancing at the tag, you see it’s from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

“No way,” you whisper, hopeful at what you think it might be as you tear through the wrapping paper. Sure enough, you pull out a knitted (house color) sweater with a bold (your initial) in the middle.

“Oh my God!” you say with a squeal, holding up your very own Weasley sweater in admiration before turning to Mrs. Weasley. “Thank you so, so much!”

“I told you she would freak out,” Charlie says with a laugh.

“Well it’s about time someone appreciates those sweaters,” Mrs. Weasley says, smacking Charlie on the shoulder before turning back to you with a smile. “You’re very welcome, dear.”

After Charlie shows you the guest room and you change into your new sweater, Mrs. Weasley calls everyone to dinner. The table is so full of food it reminds you of the Christmas feast at Hogwarts.

“You must be Ginny,” you say, smiling at the red headed girl who takes a seat next to Charlie. You have seen her before at Platforms 9¾ with Mrs. Weasley, but have never gotten the chance to speak to her. “I’m (Y/N).”

“You’re the cool Curse-Breaker Charlie’s always talking about!” she says, and you glance across the table at Charlie with a raised eyebrow.

Bill cackles with laughter, and everyone begins passing food around the table. “She has always preferred the way Charlie tells bedtime stories,” Bill says, scooping a pile of peas onto his plate before passing the bowl to you. “So she’s heard most of our crazy adventures at Hogwarts.”

“Fred and George are funnier, but Charlie always adds dragons,” she says excitedly, and you can’t help but melt inside at the thought of Charlie telling his little sister dramatic versions of your adventures. “Did you really defeat R and save your brother from the vaults?”

You smile proudly. “Yep. I couldn’t have done it without your brothers though. They’re pretty awesome.”

“That’s so cool! Almost as cool as Ron becoming friends with Harry Potter.”

“What?” you and Charlie exclaim simultaneously, both clearly surprised.

The rest of dinner is spent with Mrs. Weasley filling you both in about Harry Potter, as well as Ron’s first year at Hogwarts. After dessert, you begin helping the family clear the dinner table, and Mr. Weasley asks, “So how’s the Curse-Breaking going, (Y/N)?”

Despite knowing it was bound to come up, you dreaded hearing this question. You realized a few months ago that it was the pressure after the events at Hogwarts that led you to becoming a Curse-Breaker, not your love for it. Oh well, you were going to have to tell them about it sooner or later. “I think I'm going to try something different,” you admit and flush as you feel all the eyes in the room focus on you. “The traveling is just getting exhausting since I can rarely Apparate or use the Floo Network. I don’t understand how muggles love traveling on boats and planes so much, it takes forever.”

“That’s what I’ve always said!” Mr. Weasley says. “I’ve actually started tinkering with a muggle car trying to get it to fly, and I think-”

“Arthur,” Mrs. Weasley cuts in with a pointed look as she sets the dinner plates into the sink.

“Sorry, Molly,” he apologizes quickly, and redirects his attention to you. “What are you looking to do next? I would be happy to put in a good word at the Ministry for you if you’re interested.”

“Or you could apply to Gringotts,” Bill offers, leaning against the kitchen cabinets. “I rarely have to travel, and Egypt isn't so bad.”

“Actually, I really miss working with magical creatures so I applied to the Dragon Sanctuary.” You instantly feel Charlie’s eyes on you, and you pull a folded piece of paper from your jean pocket, extending it to him. “All of those times you quizzed me about dragons seems to have paid off. I just got their reply this morning, but I wanted to make sure you're cool with it before I accept.” You hold in a breath, nervous to see Charlie’s reaction as he reads the letter.

A wave of relief washes over you as the biggest grin you have ever seen spreads across his face. “Are you being serious?” he asks. “You want to work at the sanctuary with me?”

“As long as you’re okay with it,” you say, trying to sound as casual as possible.

“Are you kidding!” Before you can register him moving, Charlie sweeps you into a hug, and your heart tightens uncomfortably again as his arms wrap around you.

“Isn’t this just wonderful!” Mrs. Weasley says with a squeal.

“Does that mean you guys are going to live together?” Ginny asks curiously.

Your face immediately goes scarlet, and you refuse to look at Charlie. Before you could fluster a response, Mrs. Weasley says, “That wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Rent here would be even more affordable with a roommate. Think of all the extra money you would both save.”

“Not to mention how close this place is to the sanctuary,” Mr. Weasley adds.

You know your face must look ridiculous at the moment because your mouth is hanging open and you can feel the hot flush staining your cheeks. You just want someone to shake you like an Etch A Sketch and tell you they're just joking so you can laugh it off. But they don't sound like they're joking. Bloody hell, are both Mr. and Mrs. Weasley actually encouraging you to live with their son? The thought of it makes your head begin to spin, and it only gets worse when Charlie speaks.

“I mean, I’m totally cool with it if you are.” You couldn’t help but notice his cheeks looked a little red too.

You feel a lump in your throat, and catch Bill wiggling his eyebrows suggestively at you from behind Charlie. While you two have never discussed your crush on his younger brother, you have always had a feeling he knows it.

“You totally should,” Ginny encourages. “I’d love for both of you to tell me dragon stories when I get to visit!”

Well how can you argue with all of that? “Okay, sure,” you manage, and suddenly Mrs. Weasley is hugging you again. When the family resumes talking and Charlie starts pestering his mom to stop cleaning his kitchen, Bill shoots you a look and you glare at him. “Don’t say a word,” you mutter under your breath, and he chuckles quietly.

“Whatever you say,” he teases before jabbing you gently with his elbow and adding, “sis.”

A few more hours pass, and while the rest of the family is occupied in the living room, Charlie pulls you aside before you can join them.

“Can we talk for a minute?” he asks quietly.

“Sure,” you say, slightly confused, and before you know it, he's pulling you upstairs and leading you into his bedroom. The tan walls are covered with posters of the different dragons he has quizzed you about, and there’s a queen size bed in the middle of the room with a Gryffindor red comforter on top. A chill runs through you as you spot a moving picture of the two of you resting on top of his nightstand. Oh man, that’s adorable.

As he turns around to face you, you attempt to break the ice, suddenly feeling anxious. “What’s up, roomie?”

He laughs and shakes his head. “I'm so sorry about all of that. That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.” He rubs the back of his neck, and you notice his ponytail is an inch or two longer now. “I just want to make sure you don't feel pressured to move in if it would make you uncomfortable. My family is so embarrassing.”

You let out a laugh. “No they’re not, they’re the best,” you reassure him. Even if it was slightly embarrassing, you couldn’t help but love his family. “I mean it may have caught me off guard, but I think it would be fun.” The way Charlie looks up at you when you say these words makes you add, “As long as you’re cool with it. Don’t feel obligated to offer up your place, I completely understand if you prefer living alone.”

“Are you kidding? I can't think of anything better than living with you. I've missed you like crazy.” You're surprised your heart hasn't jumped out of your chest by this point, but before you can respond, Charlie continues, “Can I ask you one more thing?”

“Of course,” you say, trying to ignore how close he’s standing to you.

“Why did you choose the sanctuary?”

You feel the heat rise to your face again. Because you're friends? Because you love dragons as much as he does? Okay, maybe because you can't stop thinking about him and have missed him more than anyone else your life. Bloody hell, do not say that. Or... should you? 

“What do you mean?” you decide to say, gripping the sleeves of your new sweater for support. This would be a hell of a lot easier if you knew how he felt. His proximity and the way he’s looking at you are making things even more confusing.

“You could have any job you want, and there are tons of magizoologist jobs out there. Why here?”

His brown eyes are so intimidating as they stare back at you, waiting for you to answer, and your mouth is dry again. Without thinking about what you are doing or the potential consequences, you push yourself forward and press your lips to his. The second your mouth is on his, every cognizant thought in your brain dissipates like cotton candy on your tongue. He tastes sweet, and you can feel the rapid pulse in his neck as your hand rests above it, pulling him as close to you as possible. His lips are so soft and addictive as they move slowly against yours, it takes every fiber of your being to pull back.

“I'm so sorry,” you breathe, and all you can think about is how close his damn face is still as he just stares back at you like a deer in headlights. “We can pretend that never happened if you want.” You drop your gaze so his would stop piercing through you, and you're worried your palms are sweaty.

“Are you kidding me?” he says, his breath warm against your lips. “I've wanted to do that for the last four years.” And before you can think straight, he closes the small space between you two and is kissing you again, sending your heart, head, and stomach into a whirlwind of butterflies and goosebumps. After standing there for God knows how long, you pull apart.

“Was is worth the wait?” you ask, your hand now resting on his chest which seems to be beating as fast as yours.

“Absolutely,” he says before grabbing your hand and lacing his fingers with yours.

This may very well be the best Christmas in history.

Feb-ibig

Okay. So before you start reading this blog entry, here’s a quick story. After celebrating Valentine’s the entire week (yes, I made it happen), I had chicken pox. *frowns* As of writing, I’m taking some time off of school to recuperate from this illness–perfect timing, the prelim has just begun (and so as this chicken pox). Disclaimer: I have zero idea on how I got this–no one from the fam or the squad had this skin disease recently. I’m starting to hate February for this apparent reason (getting sick); it never fails to ruin things. But looking on the brighter side of things, I got to spend this year’s V-Day with the one[s] I love!

I have planned this–my dream V-Day celeb–for a long time already and though some things didn’t turn out as planned, I’m glad with the way everything drove out in general. Damang dama ko ang simoy ng pag-ibig, mga bes! I enjoyed every single moment of the week and I feel privileged to have spent the Hearts Day sharing love with the best people in town. Plus, this year saw the light for my first ever (legit but not so legal) valentine date–though it wasn’t exactly a date. Tamis! Let’s just say that I celebrated love the way it is supposed to be rejoiced. But for now, it’s time for me to do a recap of how the previous week went. #HappyHeartsDay

Valentine Week 2017

Sunday

As soon as I reached the dorm, I prepared a little surprise for my girl: a special valentine greeting poem and a banner. I spent the rest of the night finishing the poem (though I finished it swiftly) and cutting out letters for me and my friend’s ‘HAPPY HEARTS DAY’ banner surprise to our two lovely girls. The good thing is that I have the materials that I need at the dorm–glue, colored papers, bond papers and a pair of scissors. I prepared the letter cuts and Gian inflated the heart shaped balloons. We have everything laid out that night and the only thing left to do is to execute the plan. #loverbois

Monday

It’s been a while since we (me and my girl) last visited Starbucks so we planned to grab coffee to start the week. We both came from our respective schools–the 2 Lasallian universities in Dasmariñas–and headed straight to meet each other and get our favorite flavors of frappe. I guess we both needed a breather from a long hard day in school. I enjoyed the night (even though we weren’t able to talk much and catch up). I was preparing for a report and a major exam for the following day as she was scanning through her notes. Handouts before hangouts as people say but why choose when you can have the best of both worlds?

Tuesday

Prior to this week, she already informed me that she and her (single girl) friends will be going out on V-Day. I gave it a nod since I don’t want her to wait too long for me as she’ll be dismissed earlier than I’ll be. The plan is that we’ll meet at exactly 6PM at Walter Mart with no particular place to eat at. It is also the day when we are supposed to hand our valentine gifts to each other but a few days before, the Instagram account (from which I ordered my gift for her–a blue cap and a matching blue watch) informed me that they couldn’t ship/send the items to me yet because they don’t have them yet.

Since she’s out with her friends, I decided to join my friends to try Bittersweet–a café that some of our fellow COEd students manage. I wasn’t supposed to join them (as I’ll be having a dinner date with my girl) but I wouldn’t want to miss a food adventure. After class, we grabbed a jeepney ride and headed straight to Area G–where the café is located. Too bad, Rica, Jane, MJ and Rjhay weren’t able to make it. For the meriendate, majority of us had Tuna Pasta and Choco Kisses milk shake and we all shared a plate of nachos and a barkada serving of fries.

Everybody enjoyed the food and (believe it or not) none of us spent more than a hundred bucks. The food is great and the menu offers variety–though the serving size is a little reduced but my taste buds are still satisfied. The sizes of their drinks are named single, taken, complicated and barkada (from the smallest serving to the largest). The place is not that spacious but we managed to arrange ourselves on a long table. I am satisfied with my Bittersweet experience in general. *thumbs up* After we finished our meals, we had isaw and betamax on a nearby streetfood spot.

I went back to the dorm to fix myself for my first ever (could­-have­-been) valentine dinner. She texted me around quarter to 7PM and told me that she’s on her way already. I rushed to reach Walter Mart and arrived 13 minutes late–not that punctual for an actual date. We decided to dine at Bon Chon (our common fave food place) but to our surprise, the place is too crowded–with people waiting both inside and outside. We were supposed to try the new seafood flavor Bibimbowl but apparently, there’s no vacant table left for us to dine in. It is unwise to have our orders taken out but we did in hopes of saving time.

Instead of having Bibimbowls (which we would appreciate more if we eat in the actual serving), we opted for 2 servings of Calamari. The crew told us that we will be waiting for 20 minutes to get our orders but we ended up waiting for almost an hour–partida, standing ovation pa kami n’yan. The waiting game is on and we took the time to catch up on each other’s ganaps. Instead of getting bored, I enjoyed waiting since I’m with my favorite person. I can still recall her saying, “Sana pala dito na lang tayo kumain kung ganto katagal din naman tayo maghihintay.” I bet she would laugh in case she’s reading this.

Since I’m chasing a curfew time, we went home with our take outs (told you, it wasn’t a date). I’m absolutely disappointed with how the night turned out–the gifts were delayed, waited for an hour to get our orders and ended up not eating together. I actually insisted that we eat instead given that it’s a special day (and I wouldn’t mind going back to the dorm past the curfew time) but she insisted that we should go home–since we’ve spent enough time together. We left the place not with satisfied tummies but with memories and good laughter. Tip: If you’re going on a date, make sure you set up an early one or have a table reservation. By the way, the banner and balloons surprise for our lovely girls was a success! Thanks a lot Gi! I owe you so much man.

Wednesday

We were supposed to see My Ex and Why’s (but she dislikes mainstream Filipino films) or Fifty Shades Darker (but she has already seen it) so planned to have a movie marathon on their place instead. Our friends Gian and Yna–our fellow Lasallian couple–set up the marathon and we all chipped in to have popcorn and nachos to complete the movie experience. We watched Holding the Man and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (the former is LGBT romance themed, the latter is a fantasy). My bad, I slept in between the 2 films so I didn’t understand any of the storyline. It always feels authentic when I’m with the 3 of them; plus, nachos and popcorn. *drools*

Thursday

Y’all know what it is: my friends and I planned to see Fifty Shades Darker on that day and as if fate is on our side, everything went according to plans. Praise the heavens! Apparently, my friends are sort of obsessed with the franchise and I feel their strong will (judging on their reactions when they saw the trailer) to see the film. Well, I’m a fan of film adaptations of novels in general and what could have been a naughtier way to celebrate love month than to hit the movie house with this flick? In short, we have anticipated Darker from the very beginning.

The hype is so real that to some extent, some of my friends even fabricated birth certificates to prove that everyone’s in the legal age–since Darker is R-18. Babala: Ang programang ito ay Rated SPG. There are a lot of ‘great things’ I supposed that happened during the day. 1. I recovered my ID from SWAFO. I lost my school ID (the jacket is already broken so it’s no wonder it got lost) that day when we attended a seminar at the Alumni Building. Good thing I was able to retrieve it from SWAFO right before we leave for Robinsons Dasmariñas.

2. The full show was moved to 3:50PM instead of half past 3PM (which gave us more time to fake birth certificates and get food). We grabbed snacks from 7Eleven; I had a butter flavored popcorn and a huge cup of Gulp–which I finished by myself. #nosharing 3. There is no traffic and the jeepney driver changed routes to shorten the ride. We left 30 minutes before the showing and we crossed our fingers for no traffic. Good thing the driver of the jeepney changed routes to get to the mall faster. After that, we ran–far beyond the stoplight to enter the mall to the last floor to reach the movie house.

4. The guard from the mall simply asked us about our ages and college level (he simply looked at our IDs without even asking for legal documents or proofs). Honestly, there are 3 of us who are not yet 18–Alpha, MJ and Faith.  Rica and Rjhay were not able to join us; T. Annie (Dairen’s best friend) and Leslie (MJ’s special someone) joined the pool. 5. We got inside the movie house just in time. When we entered the cinema, the film has just began and so we quickly looked for seats and placed in the 3rd row. I sat beside Nica and Tin. Our acquaintances Clarisse and Errol were also inside the cinema.

I’m satisfied with the film in general–the story lines and the cinematography. Although I haven’t read the novel yet, it would have been a better experience to know what to expect (aside from what we saw in the trailer). FYI: The plot of the entire trilogy focuses on romance; not on the BDSM thing or the sexual encounters (though the love scenes are really noticeable). One thing I love about the film is that it featured a cohesive shift from the ‘sexual’ to ‘intimate’ relationship between Anastasia and Christian. I highly recommend this flick for lovers out there; perfect for the love month.

After seeing Darker, majority of us headed home straight but Nica, MJ, Leslie and I hopped to SM Dasmariñas which is just a few blocks away. The lovebirds (MJ and Leslie) will be dining there while Nica and I went to Imagine. I personally wanted to go to Imagine because I want to belt out my favorite songs on the karaoke (which I barely do; thank you to my blockmates–Ayah, MJ and Cyra–who went to Imagine that Monday for making me envy). Nica and I had an equal share of songs and this is my set list for that night:

·        Chandelier

·        You are My Song

·        Someday We’ll Know

·        Home

·        Alone

·        Baliw

·        If I Were a Boy

·        The Gift (duet with Nica)

·        Forever’s Not Enough

·        If We Fall in Love (duet with Nica)

I’m not even kidding with the set list though most of the songs are very unlikely for me to sing–Chandelier, If I Were a Boy and Forever’s Not Enough). *laughs* I just want to know if I can still sing those songs. Nica sang Counting Stars, I’ll Be There, Somebody that I Used to Know, Born This Way, A Whole New World, etc. Next time, I’ll be doing more of band music and alternatives like Maroon 5, Coldplay and Paramore–medyo rock para mapaos–or maybe some throwback Chris Brown or Ne-Yo. #nexttime Unfortunately, they don’t have Secret Love Song yet–would’ve been a great jam if the song is there.

Before we went home, I dropped by Tokyo Tokyo to take out Ramen (insane cravings for Ramen; had two steaming bowls that day–one for brunch and another for dinner). That day is indeed tiring but I have seen a great film (Darker), I have great food (Ramen) and I’m with a great company–my college squad. I have 3 homeworks and a quiz the following day but fret not–Carpe Diem. I’m really glad that I was able to carry out everything I have planned that day–felt extremely blessed. Guess what, I’m starting to love Thursdays more than ever… again! #thankyouLord

Friday

Another (tough and long) week at school has passed and the best way to end it is a street food fix: had calamares and my fave buko juice after class. After 2 weeks of indulging in calamares after class, I (think I) should stop this habit–for a.) it is not that healthy; b.) it’s about time to stop cheap thrills; c.) I’m bringing back the thrifty habits. Before I catch the bus ride home, I dropped by my girl’s place and shared a few bites off our favorite doughs. She did it again–she bought a box (a dozen) of our favorite donuts from Krispy Kreme.

In fact, we had KK donuts twice that week because Gian and Yna also purchased a dozen of assorted doughs that Tuesday (which they shared with us). This time though, we had the box all by ourselves–though we have only consumed 4 of which. I helped her fix her things; she helped me sort mine. #dormergoals #rgoals As we packed our bags together, I asked her if we could meet the following day–I’ll finally received my valentine gift for her–so we can give our gifts to each other. Delightedly, she said yes without asking about details or whatevers.

Saturday

The Instagram account (from where I ordered my gifts for her) messaged me that Friday that they already handed the items to my friend Bea–a friend who resides in Manila and the one who picked up the gifts. I personally tapped Bea to contact the account and help me purchase the items since she’s in Manila (most of the time). She went home that Friday so we managed to meet the following day to give me the gift. So there, if you’re reading this, you’ll know where I bought my gifts for you and who conspired with me to get the items. *winks*

We met at SM Trece Martires–our new hide away as the mall is not crowded–and she arrived late (very unlikely of her to). Well, I was late when we met that Tuesday and it is just fair that she came late that time–quits lang. Oh girl, please don’t make me wait. When she arrived, she immediately handed me her gift and to my surprise (nasarprays ako literal), her gifts were the items next on my bucket list–the items that I would care to have but can’t at the moment. Thank you boo! I love your gifts! I handed her my gifts as well–quite nervous if she would like them or not.

She has been eyeing the blue cap–which is from a merch store–and the blue watch on Instagram for some time now. Since she doesn’t have time to purchase them yet, I did the deeds and surprisingly, she liked my gifts. I won’t give a hint on the price of the items (shh lang muna; she gave me a pricey gift as well so secret na lang) because she also bought a quite expensive gift for me. She’s really eager to have the cap–which I would also love to have–and I made sure it comes with a watch (because she’s a big lover of watches; bought a blue one to match the color of the cap).

And all of a sudden, I had chicken pox­–just the mere thought that I have this makes me want to throw up instead. *note sarcasm* So it goes a little like this, Cupid and Aphrodite made me feel all the love the entire week then sends me crashing back down to earth (after putting me on a cloud 9). But kidding aside, I don’t know what I did to contact and/or deserve this kind of sickness. The good thing is that this came after Valentine’s–I got to spend the Hearts Day the way it is supposed to. #atleast

The bad thing is that this came right at the beginning of the Prelim week so I had to take 5 special exams. Not to mention, I’ll be staying at home for the rest of the week and (sighs) no allowance. Sayang baon, mga beshy! I could have felt that Valentine hangover if not for this. *frowns* Di bale na. Looking on the positive side of things: I get to rest for some days; I have been enormously blessed the entire week; I have the love of my life with me–there’s nothing more that I could ask for. #blessed

How about you, my dear readers? How did you spend the Hearts Day? By whatever means, I hope you all had an incredibly romantic and intimate celebration with the one[s] you love! Just a friendly reminder: You deserve to be loved. ❤

Till the next blog entry! Bry. x 022317

P.S. To the one who made this year’s Valentine’s extra special, thank you! I’m blessed to have you.

P.P.S. I didn’t publish this whole entry to brag; it is just my pleasure to share with you how it is to be me.
