Hi hello I’m never shutting up about this whole thing and here’s why:
1. I’m sorry I didn’t want to put the Marina bit in it but I wanted to include S kissing T on the forehead.
2. Tessa jumping up and down and saying “yaaaAAAYYyyy. Omg what a freaking precious bby angel! How many times can you recall her being this excited after a skate!? And this isn’t a reaction to the marks or placement bc they haven’t even come up completely until the very end of this clip where the announcer says they are 2nd. It was a reaction to their performance. A performance it seemed they were so inside of it gave everyone chills- completely transporting everyone out of that arena and into the street of Paris. They themselves got taken away by their own storytelling and once off the ice they can’t contain the excitement of the feelings they just experienced, let alone nailing every element. She especially was just bubbling over with joy!!
3. And it seems scootie wanted a piece of that bc he brings her in and holds her so close, she’s bubbling so much she almost collapses into him and he is 100% there to feel all her joy bubbling out. This is 1000% the laugh-cry happening here, maybe the first time it’s happen or maybe there have been others before and so when he knows it’s coming he wants to experience all of it! That’s his favourite sound btw and he wants to hear her making it only for him.
4. The way he looks up to the screen as he cradles her, taking it in in time that they are making history, 11 years so far together trying to become the best and it’s actually happening. Yes, they were second over all here, but they won the FD and had the skate of their life on the world stage (the first of many’s skates of their lives). They’ve been saying that he is the one in their partnership that ‘always knew’ they were destined for greatness and would do anything for them to succeed- and now it’s actually happening and it’s the best feeling in the world.
5. The head cradle 😭 he’s already holding her so close she collapsed on him, both hands wrapped around and whispering in her ear, then he goes and makes it softer by holding her head and his hand getting lost in her hair. All of this is just one of the most perfect visual encapsulations of their friendship- their best friendship they have had for more than half their very young lives at this point. The kind of friendship many people may claim they themselves have but do they really, where you can completely let go of all inhibitions and succumb to the emotions of the moment and fall into someone knowing they will hold you until you are through it- that being good or bad. In this case just the utter joy they have for what they have achieved together. So few times they really let themselves be excited and celebrate their achievements like they deserved to. Maybe it was their relative obscurity to the world at this point. Under the microscope for their athlete prowess for a long time-yes, but not so much the fascination of these beautifully intimate dancing souls that intertwine as much on ice as they do off- in a moment like this that beautiful connection of their souls supporting each other’s.
6. With whatever he says to her, it managed to compose her enough to stand back on two feet and respond ‘yes 😁’. Making their way out of the K&c I’m sure this continued- after hugging their support staff before heading backstage- hopefully back into each other’s arms ❤️‍🩹
For if the above video doesn’t work

Today's translation #446
Go Yuri Go!!!, Yuri!!! on ICE official fanbook, Toyonaga Toshiyuki x Uchiyama Koki conversation
Part 2.
-- What do you think about the final fight that was depicted in the last episode?
U: It was surprising that the main character didn't win.
T: Yeah, but I like when something ends like that. It's exciting, as well, if the anime follows the usual pattern, and the main character wins, but I like when how the story is portrayed and the direction double-cross the viewers. As a viewer, I thought: "Ah, so good! The main character didn't win, so good!". The ending let you imagine that Yuuri will get even better in the future and I'm very satisfied with that.
U: I was happy that Yurio won.
T: Hey, hey! You were crying (laugh).
U: Yurio broke Victor's world record with his SP and Yuuri broke Victor's world record with his FS, but Victor is still a wall that's in front of them. Seeing how beautifully it all ended, I thought: "they did it so nicely". It was revealed to us, in the flashbacks in the last episode, what Yurio was thinking about Yuuri's skating, so if you re-watch the first episode with that in mind, you are going to see it differently - it was one of the things that were done so skillfully.
T: The reason why he kicked the toilet door seems to be different now (laugh).
U: Yeah, perhaps, he wasn't angry that Yuuri was crying or anything, but it was something like: "You can do so much better, can't you!?", with a lot of respect for Yuuri as a skater.
T: So it was a form of cheering Yuuri on.
U: If you watch until the end, the first part of the story starts to appear very differently. It's a very complicated and interesting story. Not just simply a single storyline.

honestly, I saw Fear/Gibson live last year and I’d call them incompetent. Their skating is so small, the curves on the ice so much shallower than a team of that standing should be capable of. Guignard/Fabbri covered twice as much ice with half the effort. People pick on Lilah and act like Lewis is the second coming of Dean/Moir/Cizeron but he’s not *that* much better at the actual skating, he is visibly better but still not brilliant. But he moves like a floor dancer and that covers many sins. I don’t think it’s some grand conspiracy to elevate them - the Brits might have a rogue judge but they are not a powerhouse federation. They can’t compel whole panels to fall in line the way Russia, USA, France and Canada can. I think it’s a combination of a) Europe not wanting a North American monopoly while P/C are on hiatus and Russia remain banned and b) the ISU understanding they’re popular and they’re desperate for popularity. Casual audiences respond to them, I’ve seen it. They’re fun, they’re good looking, they’re easily digestible. I have a theory they’ll be dropped from serious contention once P/C return and Lajoie/Lagha are Canadian #1 once the older teams retire. Europe will then have their champions back. L/L can do the fun populist stuff but skate it well (their lyrical FD is beautiful but it’s programs like Thriller and Rio that should be their calling card going forward to set themselves apart - they’re aggressive, not pretty, don’t fall into the trap H/D did and try to contain the power). I wish Tessa was mentoring L/L instead.
i think we just disagree on that word incompetent - they're working hard and have improved. but it makes my heart sink when crowds go for the easy and gimmicky. they probably will get an ovation next week like Tessa said. but i still think that program is cheap, and if the judges go for it too, the system is garbage. because the skating and the program don't warrant top 5 in the world
i looked at F/G's IGs because i had to question whether they're popular. i don't really know of many current fans of theirs. Lilah has 15.6K followers. their team account 10.2K, Lewis 12.9K. compare that to Madi C 118K, Gabi P 173K, Isabella Flores 194K. team Koko has more than Lilah and Lewis. but it's true, i haven't found a European ice dance team who has more followers besides P/C. but idgi - it's nothing to stake the future of ice dance on your continent on. the crowds in the building like F/G, but is that translating outside, where most of the fans are? idk
for me, it's about how they're scoring consistently above teams who skate more beautifully, with power and artistry. skating with true quality is harder, or everyone would do it. hitting big accents or punching to the beat is easy. skating so that your line and entire body is expressive is hard. IAM is good at disguising weaknesses in their choreo - it's smart, but when it's this successful, i think it's bad for ice dance and feels fake
i love LaLa - they can do it all. i think it's how hard they can go at a Thriller program and be dazzlingly sharp and fast and also make you cry with an expressive program that makes them great. i'm so excited to see them again

Joel's Alpha
Twenty - Four
"Okay, you need to take these medicines easy" says the doctor "Don't be too active and attend the next baby checkup"
Joel couldn't believe he was pregnant, he thought that it was over but it was obvious that it wasn't.
He saw Chris next to him, listening to what the doctor was saying. He felt inside that this was ending and that he would be left behind while he took care of his baby.
They both left the hospital to where the car was to leave calmly while Joel did not stop his tears with the thoughts that were accompanying him in those moments and he hated himself.
"Hey, Joel…" He takes her hand "you're okay, what happened?"
"You're going to break up with me" he cries
"What" his eyes widen "why do you think that"
"Because I'm pregnant by the person who hurt me and… and… I had to fight harder because that won't happen and…
"Hey" stops him and hugs
Joel kept crying, he wanted to fight for her to leave him once and for all. But Chris had him hugged and caressing his back while leaving a kiss on his head.
"Listen… You went through something horrible, I would be a terrible alpha and mate if I left you alone surviving your traumas"
"But…" Something separates
"That unborn baby" he caresses the abdomen "will have two parents who will love him madly, I may not be, but I will love him as my son and you should too"
Joel calmly wipes his tears but he kept crying without being able to understand how he was able to continue being by his side and not have left him as he thought he would.
Then, after he managed to calm down, he moved away from his partner to look at him and put his hands on his shoulder to stand on tiptoe and kiss him.
"I love you" he blushes
"You make me happy" he smiles "I love you too"
Joel takes Chris's hand and they both decide to walk those moments to take the bus and then go to university.
Joel still had his doubts but if he saw Chris's smile, then he could take it easy.
Even when they took the bus, I didn't feel as nervous as before but I was aware of many things. One of them is that his father was making his changes and that he had to make decisions
But Joel notices something strange and it is when he sees that they were going to some place that he did not know, he turned his gaze to focus on Chris who kept smiling
"Chris…
"I talked to mitch, I told him to help me prepare something special for you" he says and takes his hand "we have to get off, it's just over here"
Joel follows his partner to where he was indicated as he went down and looked at everything as if it were something he was not understanding but his partner knew better.
"Where…
Joel's eyes widen at the sight of a table with candles in a place that was beautifully decorated as he tried to think how beautiful everything was.
"I wanted to do something special to you, I know… It's not much but…
"It's perfect" he whispers and smiles
"Besides, we can go ice skating after we finish eating" she blushes.
"I would love to" he smiles and takes a good look "those are calculations" he points out
"Yes, they are something that I wrote for you… What would I say on our date but hey… They're just posted here and I don't know if you understand it but I can…
"I think I get it" he says and takes one
Joel had a hard time understanding some things about Chris but he could connect the dots when his eyes were filling with tears as he kept reading the beautiful words in those letters from Chris
"Joel…" he says nervously
Joel turns to look at his partner while he was feeling her tears and still had the paper in his hand. He did not hesitate to approach and hug him by the neck while he decided to kiss him to show how he was feeling with that letter.
"They are beautiful…"
"You really got it" he is surprised
"Yeah"
"I…I wanted to say everything I feel for you in my own way and I want you to understand that I will always be by your side and I will not leave"
Joel hugs his partner even more as he continues to kiss and enjoy so that he knows that he also loved him as he expressed in his letters
"How about we eat, then we skate a bit" they put their foreheads together
"I'd love to" he whispers and smiles

My dear grandfather,
It is strange that I am writing you this letter. I haven't had a real notebook in my hands for years. As I drag my pencil across the paper and watch its blunt nose shrink, I feel like I'm paying homage to your teenage self. I finally understand why your eyes glowed so beautifully under the artificial light in the emergency room when you talked about 2017 and your little black notebook. I thought it was silly, almost primitive to sit and write, but now I understand. My hand, as if it has a brain of its own, writes on its own before my head has time to think. I feel like I have a magical power that allows me to create something eternal and temporary at the same time.  
Right now you are sitting next to me on your white bed, your crazy bed as you keep calling it. You're sleeping peacefully, curled up like a baby. A moment ago you opened your tiny eyes and asked me, "What day is it, Mommy?" I didn't have time to answer you, you went back to sleep.
It's strange how even though we will meet again, relive it all over again, in a dimension we don't have the intelligence to comprehend, it hurts me to say goodbye to yourself in this body. I remember you saying that in this world we have numbered days and that's the way it should be. One day you told me that we are born into this world to love and write poems. You laughed and as your smile faded, you said that somewhere around 40 you lost your instruction manual and instead of poems you were drawing floor plans in Rhino and instead of love you had anxiety.
Ever since I can remember, you've had a worried look on your face and made hasty movements. You rarely calmed down, but when you did, you'd open your tablet and read "whatever I'm in the mood for at last." I'll never forget the first time I saw you cry. I was dancing Carmen, a role Grandma used to dance beautifully. Your favorite role from your favorite play. As soon as I got off the stage, I ran to say hello to you, Mom and the others. You said excitedly, "I wish your grandmother was here. She would have been so happy to see you dance..."
Just before you completely lost it, you vehemently refused to be uploaded to Afterlife. You may have never been able to tell me why, but I understood... I wouldn't want to be in an unknown place either, unknowable, dark and cold with all the people, or what was left of them, without the love of my life.
I love you very much, Grandpa.
I love you now. Truly, with my beating heart.
My great-grandfather was born in a village many years before the political transition. He was one of those who never thought he would live to be old. And yet he has reached the age of 126. Before he lost it completely, he barely spoke. All I knew about him was that he studied architecture, skated too much in his youth and that he was part of the last generation to eat chocolate. When he got Alzheimer's he talked incessantly, but only to me. That's when I also learned that my great-grandfather was a poet. A romantic, educated man who wrote in real pencil until he forgot his name.
He died on April 19, 2126, my birthday.
I read him my letter, he smiled. He took my hands, kissed them, and as he closed his eyes I realized that the last face he saw was Grandma's.
Angela Isaakidou is from Kavala, she studies in Ioannina. She shares stories usually with dance, she decided to try with writing. this is a machine-translation, later edited by humans.

@theseourbodiesrp || continued
Shawn’s lips take a tour; his cheek, his forehead, the tip of his nose. His mouth, hands moving from his hair to hold his face to kiss him properly now. He’s intoxicating and they want to get drunk off him.
“Yes.” They do not hesitate to repeat it. “My love. My darling.” A nip to his ear accompanies the purr of, “Mine.”
“Of course I wa–” Their breath hitches and turns into a moan. “Izzy…”
Confession time: Shawn has been in high gear since he let them exact vengeance. Running away had been a more involved task with their swelling arousal brushing between their legs at every step, begging for attention, and the press of Izzy’s hips and just the presence of his manhood is a balm. They fit together, seamless; without the trappings of modesty Shawn wouldn’t have to so much as shift for him to slide perfectly inside.
Shawn tries to focus on surge of lust and not the wave of nausea that hits them at the revelation. A stray wind fans their hot face. Shawn must look a sight; throat bared, hair disheveled, writhing between the side of a building and their lover--a rock and a hard place if there ever was one. They meet Izzy’s eyes once again.
He’s beautiful. He’s always beautiful, but especially so after a show of strength, the air around him tinged with sweat and leather. They skate their fingertips up and down the line of his throat, stopping to lift his chin. He allows it, so obediently, so beautifully, and Shawn can see the want clear in his eyes. They hope their own eyes mirror his; shows the want of now and not the fear of past.
“Of course I want you,” they breathe, exalted. And it's true. They’ve long since stopped believing in the god that was preached to them; instead Shawn puts faith in the flesh and blood man before them, whose sacrifices Shawn can witness.
The block in their mind saying no, can’t, not safe, is muffled by the rolling of their hips forward against his, the desperation to ignore the panic and replace it with only the growing urge within them. Izzy won’t hurt me. He won’t. I have nothing to be scared of.
But they’d fallen for that before, with other lovers; and every time, it ended badly. It won’t this time. It will. It always does. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. There’s nothing to stop. I love him. He loves me. He wants this. I want this. Do you? Yes, shut up. Do you really? Yes! Do you really, or do you just feel indebted?
NO!
Shawn blinks into focus and swallows the lump in their throat. They stand with hands halfway down the front of Izzy’s pants and a throat raw from yelling 'no.' Mixed messages to say the least.
They could laugh at their own ridiculousness. Might have to, lest they cry instead.

May i request some Spicy Donna smut.?
I do hope this tasty little snippet is spicy enough for you, dear anon 😏😘
The way her fingers moved across from one hip to another - tightening the straps on the harness that adorned them. They were fingers of precision - strong, elegant - belonging to one of finest doll makers to ever exist. She turned to face you, the warm lighting of her room playing beautifully off of the unique features of her face. Her hair - free from it’s usual bun - spilled over the beautiful olive skin of her shoulders. You had never seen a more stunning creature in your life. 
“My beloved, are you ready for me?” Donna asked.
Her voice was low and sultry, with a sweetness reminiscent of only the finest of aged liquors. She gave you a small smile, tugging on the harness once more before approaching the bed. 
"I'm always ready for you." You replied.
"And always such a good maiden for me, too." 
You loved the tone that her voice took on when she was feeling confident - in control - with the ability to dominate in a way that you would have never guessed by looking at her. She was inherently shy, by nature, but the things that she could do to a willing maiden - why, they were enough to make anyone drip with need. 
“Lady Donna...”
“Quiet, my beloved.”
Her voice was strong, controlled - placing a single finger to your lips as she settled on the bed in front of you.
“Turn around so that I may see that beautiful backside of yours.” 
You whimpered at her command, swiftly flipping yourself onto your knees as you spread your legs eagerly. 
“So obedient, hm?” 
You shuddered as she leaned in, her warm breath skating across your neck. Her experienced fingers dancing up your inner thigh before tracing down the center of your core - allowing your warm juices to coat them. A low and satisfied hum - almost growl like - vibrating throughout her throat as she positioned herself behind you, the cool tip of her strap soothing against your heated skin. 
“Tell me, sweet maiden.. Just how badly do you want me?”
“Mmph.. fuck, Donna.. very badly.. please.” 
“I wonder what has you so needy tonight.” 
She chuckled softly, pulling your hips back roughly against her - forcing the tip of her strap to slide down your core and over your clit, earning an immediate gasp. Chuckling again, she rest the tip still against your entrance. 
“Please… Donna…”
“Mmh..  I do so enjoy it when you beg for me.” 
You stifled a moan as she parted your lips, her dexterous fingers tracing over you once before she slid the strap deep inside of you. Your body immediately overcome with heat at just how deliciously it filled you. Her hips flush against your backside, strong hands on your waist, nails slightly digging into your soft flesh. You could feel the heat of her as she leaned down, allowing her breasts to ghost over the flushed skin of your back. 
“I would ready myself if I were you, sweet maiden.” She whispered. 
The warning that dripped from her words, the smoothness of her strap against your walls as she slowly began to slide it out, stopping just short of actually doing so. Strong fingers around your neck as she pulled you back, flush against her - nipping at your skin before firmly thrusting the strap back inside of you. Her other hand finding it’s way to your clit, the warmth of her mouth never leaving your body. Each thrust more purposeful than the last - each paired with a meticulous circle over your clit. Her pacebgrowing relentless as she held you in place.
“So well behaved today, my beloved.” She murmured into your skin, “I was quite looking forward in having the chance to punish you tonight.”
The tip of her tongue traced over the shell of your ear as she spoke, causing you to shudder. 
“Mmmph… you… you still can, my lady.” 
You felt the smirk paint it’s way across her face as she released the hold on your neck, a firm but gentle hand on the back of your head as she pressed you a little further into the bed. 
“And just when I thought you couldn’t get anymore perfect.” 
Your whole body flushed, juices dripping down to your knees with her strap still deep inside of you. You whimpered when you felt her palm rest against your backside.
“Are you ready, sweet  maiden?”
You let out a muffled ‘yes’ due to your position, immediately crying out as the warm sting of her hand spilled deliciously across your skin. Thrusting the strap deep inside of you at the same time. A firm but gentle slap against your backside with each thrust that she gifted you. The exquisite mix of pleasure in pain coming to dance together in a fever dream. You screamed out again with another relentless thrust, your skin heated against the cool air of the night. Each thrust driving you closer and closer to the edge - each slap, a brilliant sound of skin against skin, flesh against flesh. Droplets of sweat dripping down onto the bare skin of your back as Donna kept her relentless pace. Your knees shaking - hips jerking - red hot pleasure enveloping every cell of your body as you could feel your pleasure begin to build. One more firm thrust… precise slap.. and you couldn’t hold it back any longer. You moaned - screaming out in nothing but raw pleasure - a wild fire of heat spilling over you. Your fingers digging into the sheets, juices dripping down onto the mattress below you as Donna continued to fuck you harder than anyone had ever fucked you in your life - her masterful hips only halting when you were utterly spent beneath her.
“Mmh… how did I get so lucky to find myself such a delicious maiden?” She asked, placing a small kiss to the nape of your neck. “Maybe next time, I’ll even let you repay the favor.” 
Xx

Don’t Let Me Go (f,m)
Tumblr media
(A Johnny fic that’s part of the prompt game posted yesterday, got a few requests for him yesterday so I just combined them into one, hope you guys don’t mind :))
Warnings: a little cursing, smuT: oral sex (m and f receiving, face riding), penetration, size kink, choking.
6. midnight
20. warm soup
27. movie night
30. dreams
———
“It’s too cold out here, babe..we’re going home..”
Johnny drives with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on your thigh.
“So boring, Mr. Suh, aren’t you from Chicago? You should be used to this!” You laugh and look out the window.
The two of you decided to watch the sunset on New Year’s Eve while walking through the city, but ended up leaving early because Johnny couldn’t stop shaking from the cold.
“I am used to this, I just...don’t want you to suffer.” He shrugs his shoulders.
You scoff. “Yeah, right”
Johnny turns to you and smirks as he rubs his hand over your thigh slowly.
“How about we go to Target..pick up a few things..”
“Ahh..Target, that sounds good.”
You turn to him and smile.
He giggles, knowing that you loved to walk around Target for absolutely no reason.
“Right? We’ll get some vegetables and chicken to make you some warm soup, since you’re so cold.”
You rolled your eyes. “Weren’t you the one that said “it’s too damn cold right now, I can’t feel my 5-foot long legs?”
“And we’ll get some popcorn and trail mix and have a movie night!”
“Well, as long as you’re the one cooking.” You place your hand over his.
———
Back at his apartment, Johnny quickly cooked up soup for you. He used his mom’s recipe and put his all into making it perfect for you like he usually did.
You drank it with him while talking about your New Years resolutions.
“I just want to be happy with you... I think we should spend more time together.” He says while taking a sip of his delicious and warm soup.
You nodded. You knew that with your busy schedule and his busy schedule, you rarely had time together. But you still loved each other very much. You both wished you could have moments like this more often, but with Johnny’s life as an idol and your life as a teacher, you could only spend time together on weekends or at nights when he had to sneak out or you had to sneak in.
“We’ll be alright, Johnny..I love you.” Your eyes are warm and kind, that’s the reason why he fell for you in the first place. He felt so comfortable around you, he felt love radiant from your beautiful smile and aura. And you felt the same from him. Everything he displayed as an idol was only magnified behind the scenes.
He was just as soft and sweet as he appeared to be on TV. Sometimes, you couldn’t believe he was real.
He places his spoon down and then rubs his hand over yours on the table.
“Would you...consider marrying me? Like..would you want to spend your life...with me?” Johnny asks quietly while stumbling over his words.
Your eyes widened. “Of course, baby. I couldn’t imagine my life without you.”
Your voice was sweet and sincere, Johnny quickly pulled you into a hug.
“I love you too, baby, don’t let me go.”
———
Later that night, the two of you watched a movie together on Johnny’s bed. He set his projector up so you could lay comfortably in his arms. Almost too comfortably.
You fell in and out of sleep while watching Titanic, but Johnny didn’t bother you about it. He watched your cute face and ran his hand through your hair.
He rubbed circles into your back as well, making you relax onto him even more.
You woke up for the ending of the movie and felt sad when Jack drifted into the water.
“I don’t know why it always makes me sad, we already know it’s bound to happen.” You mutter.
“Just because we know it’s coming doesn’t mean the blow is softened.” Johnny whispers.
The movie ends just before the 1-minute countdown to the new year. You and Johnny kiss right as the fireworks go off at midnight.
They illuminate his room beautifully and you feel your heart flutter with emotions. You wrap your arms around Johnny’s neck and intertwine your tongue with his.
He holds you in his broad arms and kisses you until you fall asleep.
———
As you sleep, you dream about a date with Johnny.
You can’t see much, but you know that the two of you are ice skating on a frozen lake. Everything seems fine, you twirl around him and he holds your hand while smiling widely.
But then, a crack in the ice starts to form under Johnny, and despite him standing still, it continues to spread.
“Y/n?” He says with fear in his voice.
And suddenly, the crack opens completely and he falls into the icy water.
“Johnny!” You leap towards him and grab his arm.
“It’s okay, it’s okay..” He tries to be reassuring, but tears run out of his beautiful brown eyes.
“Don’t let me go!” You yell as he you struggle to pull him up. His face soon disappears under the water and his arm goes limp.
“Johnny!” You yell once again and jump up out of your sleep.
Johnny holds your arms and shakes you gently. “Y/n..y/n, I’m right here..it’s okay.”
You hold your face in your hands and sob.
“I’m sorry..it felt so real.”
He turns his bedside lamp on then turns back to you. “Did you have a bad dream?”
“Yeah..I just..I thought I lost you.”
Johnny pulls you into his arms and holds you close.
“Baby, no, I’m right here, I’ll always be here for you. It’s just a nightmare.”
He wipes your tears and kisses your forehead. “I love you.”
You sniffle. “I love you too.”
You scoot closer to him but feel something like your stomach.
“J-Johnny?”
You look under the blanket. “Are you hard right now?”
Johnny chuckles, his face turning red.
“I’m sorry baby, I had a really good dream actually.”
“Oh?” You raise an eyebrow.
“Yeah..It’ll go away, I just have to...”
“Shhh..who said I want it to go away?” you put a finger over his lips then lower yourself under the blanket.
You pull his boxers down and allow his aching length to spring free.
“You don’t have to, baby..” he struggles to get out, because the truth is that he hopes you do.
“Mmm...but I really want to..” you lock eyes with him and lick the pre cum from his tip.
You place kitten licks along his cock, licking across his bulging veins before kissing his swollen and red tip.
Johnny curses under his breath as he watches you swallow half of him while under the blanket.
You pull off of him completely and lick your lips. “I forgot how big you are..”
He runs his fingers through your scalp.
“It was just last week that I fucked you so hard you couldn’t walk the next day, how could you forget?”
“Hmmm I don’t remember, I think I need a refresher.” You winked then lowered yourself onto him again, this time using both hands to twist around the base of of his cock while you sucked whatever you could fit into your mouth.
You moan onto him, flicking your tongue all over him and moving your hands up and down.
“Fuck..” he lets out in a low groan.
You swirl your tongue around his tip then continue to move it up and down his shaft.
“Mmmm..Johnny..I’m so wet for you.” You look into his eyes as you lick up and down.
“Come on, baby, I can’t take any more teasing.” His grip on your hair tightens slightly.
You swallow him whole and hum again to send vibrations through his sensitive manhood.
He thrusts upwards into your throat, making gag unexpectedly.
You continue to choke on him and listen as his groans grow louder.
“Ahh..That’s it, baby girl, I’m close.”
Tears escape your eyes and you whimper as he thrusts harder.
“Cum for me, Johnny.” You stroke his dick faster and flatten your tongue on the head.
Spurts of milky strings decorate your neck and chin as Johnny moans beautifully.
Johnny bites his bottom lip as he watches your fucked out face over him.
“Come here..” he whispers. You climb over him while wiping his cum off.
“Ride my face.”
“What?” Your eyes grow.”
“I want to taste you..” he says with low eyes.
“Are you sure?”
He lowers himself and waits for you to get on top.
You’re in nothing but a g string and his t shirt, but you look gorgeous to him.
Your knees dig into the pillow, you hover over his face and the feeling is strange. You can feel his warm breath fan your entrance.
You swallow hard as he uses two fingers to push the thin fabric of your g string to the side.
He licks over your folds as you shiver from the sudden contact.
“It’s not like I haven’t tasted you before, sweetheart...don’t be nervous, just move.”
He grabs both knees and pries them further apart so you’re right on his pillowy lips.
He flattens his tongue against you, listening to you make the most wonderful whimpers he’s ever heard.
On instinct, you move forward and backward against his tongue, feeling his lips kiss your core as if it’s your lips.
His tongue feels inside of you as he uses two fingers to explore your pussy.
He presses his finger tips onto that spot while he groans. The vibrations make you jump from stimulation, but his tongue doesn’t stop. He pushes it against your clit with more force, gaining a loud moan from you.
He squeezes your thigh and shakes his head from side to side, as if to tell you you’re naughty for making such loud noises.
But the movement only adds to your stimulation.
You move faster now, placing your hands onto your breasts. You massage them and play with your nipples as Johnny draws circles onto your clit.
“Johnny!” You cry out as the intense feeling takes you over.
He pinches your thigh again, looking up at you and watching you play with your breasts under his large t shirt.
You bite your lips in an effort to stay quiet, but you can’t help but cry out as you climax on his face. “Oh...my god!”
Johnny watches your body shake above him in the dim lighting of the room, then holds you by the waist and lays you down beside him.
He wipes his face. “I love you, sweetheart, you’re so beautiful.”
“I love you too, that was amazing.” You breathe heavily.
He smirks then turns you over on your side, gently massaging your warm skin in the process.
He kneels and then straddles your leg while curling your other leg around his side.
He holds his hard cock in his hand, brushing the tip against your dripping folds.
You flinch slightly when you feel it against your quivering pussy.
Johnny licks his lips and pushes into you slowly, giving you time to adjust.
“Fuck..” you exhale. “Keep going.”
He pushes into while looking into your eyes.
His intense eye contact and the way he clenches his jaw makes you even wetter than you were before.
You wince and he stops moving.
“Are you okay?” He asks sweetly.
“Yeah..it’s okay.”
He thrusts into you, watching as you grip the sheets beside you and whine.
This position always allowed him to deeper while still maintaining eye contact with you.
Your clit was perfectly stimulated and he could watch every cry escape your mouth as well as your breasts.
But here you were in his t shirt looking more perfect than you’ve ever looked as you took all of him in.
“Fuck it’s so deep inside you..” his tongue darts across his bottom lip.
He thrusts harder the pulls out completely.
“Faster..please.” You beg him.
“Of course. Anything for you.”
And with that, Johnny drills his cock into your pussy, stretching it out to become the perfect fit for him.
“Johnny!” You cry out while watching his abs flex and his beautiful body glisten in sweat above you.
He moves fast and places a hand around your neck, knowing that you preferred being quieted this way.
He squeezes your throat and starts to choke you.
Your body moves up and down on the plush bed, you can’t think straight as he destroys you in the middle of the night.
He throws your leg up on his shoulder, his cock his your g spot repeatedly and you silently go insane. His thrusts are fast, but his sturdy length slides in and out of you easily, never failing to press against your extremely sensitive areas.
“Good girl...take it just like that.”
His tone is low and husky, he continues to choke you while looking into your eyes deeply.
And with a few more thrusts, you come undone just as he does, your body shaking once again.
Your eyes roll in the back of your head as Johnny kisses you through it.
It feels like minutes pass by while you experience your most intense orgasm.
He pulls out of you after he comes down. He then goes to the bathroom and grabs a towel to wipe you up with.
“Johnny..” you close your eyes as you feel sleep overtake your body.
He pulls you into his arms and hugs you. “Let’s go back to sleep, sweetheart, I’m right here.”

FIC-RECS (II)
Tumblr media
part one of my fic recs 
part two of my fic recs since my last fic recs post got over 1000 notes and that’s basically the most attention i’ve ever received in my life 
i. @littlemisskookie : LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME
if you love something, you’ll let it go - that’s just the perfect epitome of this one-shot. jin is genuinely such a good guy and yet, you go through a whirlwind of emotions because of the predicament him and oc are in. i really like the idea of duty vs desire in this story, and it’s so well done considering the premise of royalty.
ii. @cinnaminsvga​ : THE LONELY HEARTS CLUB
theres a lot of bts social media aus out there but this, this one man... i read it two years ago and you’ll still catch me saying “i love you then and i love you still” just because all the emotions i felt reading this story imprinted on me so deeply. i highly recommend this if you’re looking for a story to grow with characters and laugh and cry and you know, all that fun stuff
iii. @sugaxjpg : THE LIONHEART’S OATH
i have read this on multiple occasions and have also cried uncontrollably because of it on multiple occasions. the characterization of oc and jungkook is so beautifully done, especially in the last scene, and the dialogue just squeezes at your heart. this fic leaves such a mark on you that even after reading it, it just comes keeping to your mind.
iv. @versigny : IN EVERY LIFE I WILL FIND YOUR SHOULDER TO CRY ON
this is a classic. i love the way the reincarnation plot is done, something about seeing the stages through which oc and jin go through is so satisfying !! a+ writing and a fic i always think about when i think of reincarnation tropes
v. @inktae : AWAY FROM THE SUN
this story is just absolutely beyond-words amazing. the writing is so good that there is a movie playing inside my mind when i read it and i can feel everything happening around me. the concept of the story is so distinctive and magical, as well as the set-up and dynamic of the characters. i’m genuinely so impressed a story of this quality exists on this site. it’s a literary masterpiece (and hence, a must read). 
vi. @vankoya​ : DEVIL SKATES ON THIN ICE
i love flawed characters + i love stories about redemption, and this fic perfectly takes two of my favorite tropes and puts it in this stunning setting of being an ice skater. the writing is beautiful and i just love revisiting this fic from time to time.
[ao3]
vii. ELLIPSISM
i read this fic in june 2019 and i was broken (in both a good and bad way). i was been suffering for a few months because this story and its beautiful characters and themes of depression etc. could not leave my mind. that combined with the fact that i basically forgot what this fic was called tortured me everyday
ok that’s all from this list now. i stopped reading fics for a while and i’m still trying to recall the old fics i liked, so maybe part three, maybe not

Cleaning Out the Rooms - a Harry Du Bois playlist Alcoholism, getting better?, memory loss, being a superstar, The Final Dream, forming political opinions, bad breakups, past transgressions, being a strange and inconsistent being, and persisting despite it all 26 songs (r-slur warning for Turnin’ on the Screw - QotSA)
including: David Bazan, They Might be Giants, The Mountain Goats, British Sea Power (of course), Queens of the Stone Age, and more.  Full track listing and lyric excerpts under the cut
---- Turnin' on the Screw - Queens of the Stone Age (This is the opening track on Era Vulgaris, seemed like an appropriate opening song / introduction to Harry's general essence) ----
... They say those who can't just instruct others And act like victims or jilted lovers You can't lose it if you never had it Disappear, man, do some magic
Want a reason? How's about because You ain't a has been if you never was
I sound like this
Scared to say what is your passion So slag it all, bitter's in fashion Fear of failure's all you've started The jury is in, verdict: r******d
I'm so tired, and I'm wired too I'm a mess; I guess I'm turning on the screw
---- Bless this Mess - David Bazan (Harry being a drunk and a general mess, things going in cycles) ----
God bless the man who stumbles God bless the man who falls God bless the man who yields to temptation God bless the woman who suffers God bless the woman who weeps God bless the children trying her patience Trouble getting over it Is what you're in for So pour yourself another 'Cause it'll take a steady pair of hands Holy or unholy ghost Well now I can't tell, but either way you cut it You should get some distance if you plan to take a stand God bless the house divided God bless the weeds in the wheat God bless the lamp hid under a bushel I discovered hell to be the poison in the well So I tried to warn the others of the curse But then my body turned on me I dreamt that for eternity My family would burn Then I awoke with a wicked thirst
---- Don’t Sit Down Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair - Arctic Monkeys (general Harry vibe.  off-kilter) ----
Break a mirror, roll the dice
...
Find a well-known hard man and start a fight Wear your shell suit on bonfire night Fill in a circular hole with a peg that's square
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair
...
Bite the lightning and tell me how it tastes Kung fu fighting on your roller skates Do the Macarena in the devil's lair
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair
---- I've Been Seeing Things - They Might be Giants (feels very Harry's detecting style, surreal happenstance) ----
I've been seeing things I've been seeing things Don't have answers but I've got lots of questions
Carpool's up, someone gets out Hand someone else a violin case I'm trying not to let them see me looking at them But I'm pretty sure there was a dollar sign
Keep your eyes peeled and you'll see stuff Which at first seems like unimportant irrelevant things
Can't just ask some perfect stranger "What are you hiding in your violin case?" Shadow them at a distance instead Try to get inside their head
Where'd they go now (Where'd they go now) I got distracted (I got distracted) Begging me to stay (Begging me to stay) Wearing a disguise (Wearing a disguise) That lady (That lady) Must have ditched the kid (Must have ditched the kid) Hidge the down (Hidge the down) [???] What's she up to now? (What's she up to now?) Trembling cold by the airport road Watching them stack containers in rows Seagulls, helicopter, windblown trash Something doesn't add up
I've been seeing things I've been seeing things No one asks but I'm packing all kinds of attention
Later I'm watching a news report Camera pans across a crime scene Unremarked upon detail Empty violin case Okay maybe not the same case Different material, different color Still you have to wonder Am I the only one who knows
I've been seeing things
---- Music is the Victim - Scissor Sisters (breakup Harry.  drug-addled disco Harry) ----
I left my heart in San Fransisco It's at some motherfucking disco The people there where dancin' on it And that's including Ms. Matronic
Hell if music is the victim then so am I Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry If music is the victim then so am I
Of your bad fun Money's all gone but you need some Lover's on the phone but they got none Daddy ain't home from the dog run And you're riding through the city with a shotgun
I left my bag in Pasadena Where all them girls was doin' Tina Them bitches sure were crunked up on it I said I'd rather smoke some chronic
Hell if music is the victim then so am I Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry If music is the victim then so am I
---- Down to Your Soul - Right Away, Great Captain! (about the Final Dream and pre-game Harry) ----
And I see things I actually don't see. I knew it wasn't actually you a few feet from my reach. I looked into your eyes and I began to lose my teeth, And I felt you were dreaming the same thing.
And I know you don't know what I'm capable of But if you give me just one more minute I'm sure That you would be shaking right down to your soul And I'd hope that the fear of the lord brings me home. I'm a man in a body of water so tall Could swallow you whole and forget where he's going But I carved a map in the back of my arm Don't worry I'm coming home I said don't worry cause I'm coming home
---- No Surprises - Radiohead (suicidal harry, pre-game.  Maybe immediately before the game.  A little Big Communism Builder) ----
A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
This is my final fit My final bellyache
No alarms and no surprises, please (get me out of here)
---- Cleaning Out the Rooms - British Sea Power (The instrumental part seems to have been used / referenced for a background music track.  And also the name of that one thought project. as expected, it fits beautifully.  Wake up in a new life, down by the seaside.  Cleaning out the rooms.  She’ll be coming soon.) ----
Where life is good in a way Swept away upon our hearts, in cold coal ceremonial On a rainy day, hang it up Get the vacuum and suck it in Cleaning out the rooms, I'll clean it up Dark cloud, drifting out of view I'll never know, she'll be coming soon, that is all I'll wake up in a new life, ship shape and shoe shine Cleaning out the rooms, I'll clean it up She'll be coming soon Drifting into view, way in the west, white cloud If everybody knew, I never knew, she'll be coming soon I'll wake up in a new life, down by the seaside In a new life, down by the seaside Cleaning out the room, I'll clean it up Dark clouds, she'll be coming soon Down the chimney, out the window, that is all
---- In the Morning of the Magicians - The Flaming Lips (waking up with no memory, but bad vibes) ----
In the morning I awake
And I couldn't remember What is love and what is hate
The calculations error
Oh, what is love and what is hate? And why does it matter? Is to love just a waste? And how can it matter?
Oh...
As the dawn began to break I had to surrender The universe will have its way Too powerful to master
---- Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads (Huh??  What's happening??  same as it ever was, same as it ever was) ----
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?" And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
...
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
...
And you may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?" And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?" And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?" And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
---- Don't Change - David Bazan (alcoholism, cycles of wanting to get better, depression, slipping in to old coping mechanisms, plus a little bit in here about dreams.  This is a song for if Harry continues partying after the memory wipe, I suppose) ----
He seems nice You met him once or twice But you wonder what he's like When he's sober
Then again You hear he has no friends Just people that he spins To do him favors
When he wakes up in the morning he tells himself Today I'll make a change But falling into his bed at night he thinks Man it was a beautiful day to stay the same
I'm so deep That only in my sleep Do the secrets that I keep Float to the surface
So I hold them down Till they don't make a sound Like they accidentally drowned Except on purpose
And when I wake up in the morning I tell myself Today I'll make a change But falling into my bed at night I think Man it was a beautiful day to stay the same
---- Airbag - Radiohead (born again, back to save the universe) ----
In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign scrolling up and down I am born again
In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe
In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life
In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe
---- A Comet Appears - The Shins (puppeting a man-body around pretending to be a living thing. drinking, depression) ----
One hand on this wily comet Take a drink just to give me some weight Some uber-man I'd make I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on A host of individual sins Let's carve my aging face off Fetch us a knife Start with my eyes Down so the lines Form a grimacing smile
Close your eyes to corral a virtue Is this fooling anyone else? Never worked so long and hard To cement a failure
---- The Communists Have the Music - They Might be Giants (Big Communism Builder, but especially Harry's shallow understanding of Communism.  Party-boy communist) ----
I got handed an Ayn Rand sandwich Straight from the can, it tasted so bland I asked a lass to pass me a glass Of Engels' Conditions of the Working Class
Right away they dragged me to the committee To explain my un-American activity They're gonna see they made a mistake If they'd only let me play my mixtape
I'm not partial to the martial Or the plutocrats, in their beaver hats And the fascists have the outfits But I don't care for the outfits What I care about is music And the communists have the music
---- Harlem Roulette - The Mountain Goats (Harry thinking about Guillame le Million?  Generally: that vibe of secret, maybe supranatural machinations happening just outside your field of view.  A kinda lonely, pensive vibe, sprinkled with past drug use, driving...memory) ----
Unknown engines underneath the city Steam pushing up in billows through the grates Frankie Lymon's tracking "Seabreeze" in a studio in Harlem Its 1968. Just a pair of tunes to hammer out. Everybody's off the clock by 10:00. The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you're never going to see again. Feels so free when I hit the avenue. Nothing like a New York summer night. Every dream's a good dream, Even awful dreams are good dreams, If you're doing it right. Remember soaring higher than a cloud. Get pretty sentimental now and then. The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you're never going to see again. And four hours north of Portland, a radio flips on. And some no one from the future remembers that you're gone. Armies massing in the dusky distance. Ghosted in the ribbon microphone. Leave a little mark on something, maybe, Take the secret circuit home. Nothing in the shadows but the shadow hands. Reaching out to sad, young, frightened men. The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you're never going to see again.
---- Suture up Your Future - Queens of the Stone Age (Harry's gonna fix his mess) ----
I'm gon' suture up my future I ain't jaded, I just hate it See, I been down too long It's kinda hard to explain Burned and buried, all I carried
...
Tried explaining unexplained Got caught in the plan All this talking at once I've been giving my love away To the things that tear it apart I'm gonna suture up my future
---- Lampshades on Fire - Modest Mouse (Harry trashing his body / having already trashed his body, just kinda a Harry-vibe song) ----
...
Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out This is what I really call a party now Well, fear makes us really, really run around A-this one's done so where to now? Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all Well, you all know what I'm talking about The room lights up, but we're still dancing around We're having fun, having some fun now
Pack up again, head to the next place Where we'll make the same mistakes Open one up and let it fall to the ground Pile out the door when it all runs out
...
As our feelings are getting hurt Oh, we want you to do the work Our ass looks great inside these jeans Well, we want just our water clean
Well, this is how it's always been And this is how it's going to be So you just move on
---- Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes (Harry "can-opener" du Bois.  Talking to the skills, solving things, detecting, generally being a terrifying force of nature / the pale) ----
I'm gonna fight 'em all A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes Says, "Leave it alone"
Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell
And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones Says, "Find a home"
---- Body of Years - Mother Mother (Harry's past that follows him, Harry's half-decomposed body that marks the years of abuse it's been through) ----
All the remains of a cadaver of days I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case I wanna visit that place Blow the dust from the bones Off a body of years that I leave all alone Just a body of years
See the skin disappears And the blood turns to stone In a body of years now a pile of bones Like a sheet of veneer Each a piece of my soul It's a body of years that I leave all alone
It's Just a body of years, now a pile of bones You know Old soul who falls down Can't stop trippin' on these Old roads I go down Get back up and get my foot in the door And my face on the page Make my mark in the world With a bat and a blade It's a body of work that you can't ever change Like a body of years that you take to your grave It's just a body of years that I leave all alone It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones Like a sheet of veneer Each a piece of my soul
---- The Cap-m - They Might be Giants (just a Harry vibe song) ----
When I talk you keep looking away from me 'Cause you probably think that I'm high on pot But I'm not, I'm not
Look me over, I'm the Cap'm You say it's such a joke But I don't see you laughing
People seem to think you can't be called the Cap'm Unless you drive a boat Well, I don't I don't
Look me over, I'm the Cap'm Go ahead and mess with me You'll find out what will happ'm
...
Did you say what I think you just said My hat looks good on me? I agree, I agree
Look me over, I'm the Cap'm You act like it's a joke But I don't see you laughing
---- Broke - Modest Mouse (oops!  all mistakes.  Broke it all.  Want to forget it but can't) ----
Broke account, so I broke a sweat I've bought some things that I sort of regret about now Broke my pace and ran out of time Sometimes I'm so full of shit that it should be a crime
Broke a promise 'cause my car broke down Such a classic excuse it should be bronze by now Broke your glasses, but it broke the ice You said that I was an asshole and I paid the price
Broken hearts want broken necks I've done some things that I'd love to forget, but I can't
Broke up, and I'm relieved somehow It's the end of the discussions that just go 'round and 'round And 'round, and 'round, and 'round ... It was like everything was evidence of broken time
You're living on fancy wine You'll drink that turpentine You're starting conversations You don't even know the topic
---- Spent Gladiator 2 - The Mountain Goats (Defiantly alive) ----
Like a spent gladiator, Crawling in the coliseum dust. Who can count on his remaining limbs, All the people he can trust. Like the one who stands behind him, Cheering him on. Ecstatic when he stands defiant, Wild with abandon when he's gone. Just stay alive. Keep your eyes on the pay line. Like a village on the step, About to get collectivized. When the men emerge with rifles from the haystack, Everybody looks surprised. Like the mice in the forgotten grain, Way up on the top shelf. Like someone who's found a small town to escape to, Keeps one eye on his abandoned, former self. Stay in the game. Just try to play through the pain. Like a fighter who's been told its finally time for him to quit. Show up in shining colors, And then stand there and get hit. Like the clock that ticks in Dresden, When the whole town's been destroyed. Like the nagging flash of insight, You're always desperate to avoid. Like the bloody-knuckled gunman, Still stationed at the breach. Like that board game with the sliders, And the children on the beach. Stay alive. Maybe spit some blood at the camera. Just stay alive. Stay forever alive.

Twenty-nine different attributes Only seven that you like, oh-oh Twenty ways to see the world, oh And twenty ways to start a fight, oh
...
And countless odd religions too It doesn't matter which you choose, oh, no One stubborn way to turn your back, oh This I've tried and now refuse, oh
Oh don't, don't, don't get up I can't see the sunshine Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby 'Cause I'm through Sit me down Shut me up I'll calm down And I'll get along with you
---- Pork and Beans - Weezer (Superstar Cop) ----
They say I need some rogaine to put in my hair Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear Oakley makes the shades to transform a tool You'd hate for the kids to think that you've lost your cool

Everyone likes to dance to a happy song With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art
I'ma do the things that I wanna do I ain't got a thing to prove to you I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans Excuse my manners if I make a scene I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like I'm fine and dandy with the me inside One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink I don't give a hoot about what you think
No, I don't care I don't care
---- Freaks - Surf Curse (head filled with skills, The Final Dream) ----
Don't kill me just help me run away From everyone I need a place to stay Where I can cover up my face Don't cry, I am just a freak
I am just a freak(x3)
My head is filled with parasites Black holes cover up my eyes I dream of you almost every night Hopefully I won't wake up this time
I won't wake up this time(x3)

honey and glass (like sticky sweet ash)
Reki watches as Langa laughs, his head tilted back as the rain hit his face. Langa has seen the rain before, but everytime still, without fail, he runs into it, still fully clothed.Reki didn't care much for it- the humidity makes his hair flat and it gets in his face, somehow making it get all tangled at the same time- but he adored watching Langa as he all but danced in the rain.
To Reki, Langa is beautiful. It's almost as if he was made of glass, his pale skin adding to the image, with traces of honey in the way he smiled. Watching him skate, so focused, so happy, left the taste of bittersweet sugar and rum in the back of Reki’s throat, oddly enough. Maybe it's because of how, when Langa flies so high, he's highlighted by any light in the area, giving him the appearance of being bathed in holy light. And Reki is always gripped with the thought that one day, Langa was going to fly so far ahead of him, that he would never turn back. He wouldn't even look at Reki anymore.
Because Reki is nothing more than a burden to Langa. No… he wasn't, right? Because Langa had told him so, after their fight. He’d told him that he wants to skate for infinity with him, and only him, and that without him, skating was no fun.
But that couldn't be right… Reki is nowhere near as good at Langa at skating. He wasn't worthy of Langa’s love or attention, either. Langa is an angel on earth, while Reki is nothing more than a moth scuttling after his light and honey.
Gods. Reki hates this feeling. This feeling of never being enough, of basically believing himself to be the dirt under Langa’s shoe. How did Langa do it? How did he always stay on top of things, keep so much confidence in himself and his own damn name? Why couldn't Reki ever obtain that same confidence?
Reki wants to be mad. To be angry. At Langa, for finding it so easy, to know that he was the main character of his own life and story. While Reki? Reki struggles to think of himself as anything more than a side character that no one cares about. Because why wouldn't they think that?
But watching Langa prance so happily in the rain, hair soaked, clothes drenched and plastered to his skin, he found it hard to be angry at him. Impossible, even. Because it's not Langa’s fault that he's so fucking sad.
He sighs heavily, looking down at the wet ground, only for a pair of familiar converse to enter his vision, shortly followed by a pale hand. His eyes widen, and he looks up, finding Langa above him, a bright, patient smile on his lips, and Reki is hit once more by the sticky sweet taste on his tongue, just by looking at him.
“Why don't you join me?” Langa suggested, and Reki stares at his damp hand. His fingers are curled ever so slightly, palm facing upwards.
Reki stares at it for a moment longer, before he finally takes it, allowing himself to be gently pulled to his feet. Langa’s smile broadens, and Reki is nearly blinded by how beautifully bright it was. One of Langa’s hands comes to rest on his hip, the other gripping his. Reki can already feel heat pooling in his gut, and he carefully holds Langa in return, treating him like he's fragile glass. Because he is glass- he's not fragile, but Reki still doesn't feel worthy enough to actually touch him.
His clothes quickly become drenched, and he hates how the fabric clings to his skin, but he doesn't say anything. Langa was giving him attention again, and while he may not deserve it, he craved it.
“What's bothering you?” Langa asked suddenly, breaking him from his thoughts rather forcefully. Reki blinks at him owlishly, surprised at how quickly Langa was picking up on his feelings today. Recently, Langa has been in tune with Reki’s turbulent emotions and mood drops, probably wanting to prevent anything like the fight from happening again. That thought makes Reki feel guilty all over again for doing that to Langa in the first place, and he lets out a heavy sigh as he's led along in a slow dance.
The rain pelts against his back and sides, his hair getting plastered to his scalp and forehead. He uses this opportunity to hide his face under his red curls, ashamed that he's still feeling like this when Langa was so patient and kind to him. He really is worthless, needing constant reassurance that he was something.
“I…” Reki trailed off, suddenly finding it hard to speak. Langa doesn't push him, instead continuing their easy dance through the rain. He lowers his head, letting his chin hit his chest. “Langa… am I- am I enough?”
Langa hums softly, and slows their movements down even further, bringing his hand resting on Reki’s waist upwards. Deft fingers brush drenched curls from his forehead with a gentleness that makes Reki want to cry, especially when he sees the expression Langa had as he stares down at him, so full of admiration and pure love.
“Reki,” Langa began, and his fingers curled around the back of Reki’s head carefully, caressing it tenderly. He leans forward, letting their foreheads meet, their noses brushing, their breaths mingling. And even though they've been a pair for some time now, and have kissed before, Reki’s breath is still stolen from his lungs at the closeness. He blinks, eyes slowly drifting to Langa’s soft pink lips. He knows if they kissed now, he'd taste nothing but that burnt sugar and rum. “You are more than enough. And don't worry, I don't mind telling you that. Because I love you, and never want you to think of yourself less than me. Are you thinking that now?”
At Reki’s shy nod, Langa smiles softly, his fingertips playing with the hair on the back of his head. “You're not, Reki,” Langa said with so much conviction, Reki has to believe him. “And you never will be less than me. Because you are perfect and beautiful how you are now. I'll stay with you and continue to remind you of this until you can one day believe it yourself.”
The corners of Reki’s eyes sting, and he knows he's crying. Thankfully, the rain should cover their tracks, and make it discernible. But of course, somehow, Langa notices, and he uses his free hand to tenderly wipe the tears away, even if it doesn't do much against the rain drops.
“May I kiss you now, Reki?” Langa asks, ever so patient. He always asks Reki for his consent first, and Reki returns the favor. Neither ever want to make the other uncomfortable.
Reki nods again, head jerking up and down sharply. Langa smiles at him warmly once more, and then leans forward all the way, their lips coming together in a gentle kiss.
As always, Langa’s lips are soft and warm, without a bit of chapping to them. Their mouths fit perfectly together, and when Reki’s tongue shyly comes to Langa’s lips, he can feel the taller boy smile once more before he allows entry. Instantly, Reki is hit with the sweet, sweet taste that was just so Langa. Burnt sugar and a little bit of rum. He doesn't know why Langa has this taste, but he's come to know it so well, to seek it out and desire it.
They stay together in the rain for a while longer, until Reki sneezes and Langa rushes him home to warm him up.
Reki doesn't feel as empty the rest of the day.

Christmas with the Karasuno Boys (HC’s)!!
Part 1: Daichi, Suga, Asahi, Nishinoya, Tanaka, & Ennoshita
Part 2 (Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Kinoshita, & Narita) here!!
A/n: Tumblr said my word count was too much so I’m splitting this bad boi up into two parts :p Enjoy!!
*****
Daichi
A huge romantic during Christmas, 10/10 quality cliche times spent together
You wanna go ice skating? Hell yeah sweetheart, he will make it the most beautifully romantic thing you’ve ever seen
Like straight out of a holiday postcard type beat
Istg the rink he takes you to looks like a more heartwarming version of Rockefeller Center
He’s a big keeper of tradition when it comes to making plans, but doesn’t mind a bit of nonsense fun when everything falls into place
Which is why you love to bring the team along on adventures because they make everything all the more entertaining
At first he’s confused like ??? You don’t have to do that just if they’ve been pestering you about it
But then he realizes you care as much about them as he does (hint: a hell of a lot) and they’re thus invited along for some stuff
Of course y’all also get some quality time together on dates with just you both
Anyways you and Daichi have talked a lot about traveling and how he was really interested in seeing new places
So as his gift you got him a carved map with a roll of red string and thumbtacks, so that he could plan out all the places he wanted to visit
You know how when Kiyoko found the “Fly” banner for Karasuno and all the boys cried?
Yeah
Like that but with lots more hugging and laughing
“You know you’re gonna have to help with mapping this out, right?”
“Is that an invitation I hear?”
“Oh, that’s a promise”
FJSFJDSK ALEXA PLAY AMERICAN BOY BY ESTELLE—
Please I love him; he is so damn sly and sassy I will die with this headcanon
Sugawara
I swear on everything that Christmas with him is equivalent to a Hallmark movie
It smells like joy and warmth wherever he is, and this season only amplifies it
He is such a cheeseball without even having to try
But it’s in the really endearing and heart-melting way,,, just MMM PERFECT
He’ll take you on a walk through those neighborhoods with those crazy light decorations in the front yard and buy you hot chocolate
If he sees a group of little kids gaping at all the lights, he’ll leave them starry-eyed with stories of magic, reindeer, Santa and so-forth
“You know, I’ve heard that Rudolph’s nose is supposed to be brighter than the world’s most powerful Christmas light”
Good heavens, children absolutely adore this man
Anyways he’ll make it a little game as y’all walk around this beautifully lit neighborhood, both of you with a different assortment of bingo squares printed on paper
First one to bingo chooses a movie to watch after getting back to Suga’s house
Will wrap a big fluffy blanket around you both and pull you into his chest while watching the movie
For his gift, you got a star named after him
It’s because y’all alway go stargazing for dates every month, just to sit out, talk and cuddle
Suga gave you the SOFTEST look after opening your gift and this cute little card you made 🥺
“Lets go try to find my new favorite star”
PLEASE HE IS SO SWEET
“Right now? Koushi it’s 11:30 pm”
“Just for ten minutes, and then I’ll get you home”
So y’all spend the rest of Christmas Eve on his roof, sipping warm tea and attempting to locate Star Suga
Asahi
Cuddle bear alert ‼️‼️
It’s basically hibernation time for him, because he’s not the biggest fan of cold
That’s alright with you though 😌 more coziness for you
Lots of quality moments indoors means more creative dates
A whole day devoted to chill present wrapping? Hell fuckin’ yeah
Nice music, pretty wrapping paper, shiny bows, maybe a little Christmas rom-com playing in the back — the whole shebang
You find out pretty quickly that despite how it sounds, it’s actually quite a satisfying and enjoyable pastime
Practically had to drag him out of your living room to secretly wrap his own gift
As much as he’s the king of timidity and soft™, he can be very playfully stubborn when he’s comfortable, hence why he was such an ass to get out of the room
I have no doubt that Asahi would melt for the most adorable, cheesy shit
So you not only bought him some really reliable headbands for volleyball use, but you also made a little coupon booklet
He can basically cash in paper promises for certain things, like getting to choose the next date idea, picking a movie to watch without any objection, having you make his favorite food, etc.
There’s one that he can exchange for a full out spa day trip, because good heavens he’s a sucker for those
Massage and exfoliation and everything — it makes him feel ✨refreshed✨
He was ecstatic fam, I don’t even know what to say
Like a puppy who just got a bunch of toys and a new backyard to play
Mans cashes in one almost immediately, and at first you’re confused
Like it’s Christmas time bubs, what are we gonna be able to do when most places are closed and it’s the holidays?
Then you read the paper
“Free hug (can be used and renewed <3)”
GIVE HIM HIS DAMN HUGS RIGHT NOW
He uses that one a lot throughout the upcoming days, to the point where he just keeps the paper on him for fun
“You realize you can just ask me silly, you don’t need to keep carrying the coupon around”
“Yeah, but it’s entertaining”
Cute little cheeky bastard
Nishinoya
LOVES LOVES LOVES CHRISTMAS
You know the 12 Days of Christmas? The song??
He gets you a small present EVERY DAY for all 12 days
Not to mention he has a big present that he saves for the actual holiday
Y’all are the type of couple to get ice cream in the middle of winter
Nishi loves his cold snacks any time of year, and you’ve thus picked up a similar taste
He will consistently pester you about what kind of present you got him
Gets pouty when you don’t tell him, but in the back of his mind he’s glad because it would ruin the surprise
Anything you get him instantly becomes his most prized gift tho
It could be a literal rock with googly eyes and he’d put it in a protective glass case for preservation
But of course you get him something better than that because he only deserves the best
He’s got this specific assortment of products to maintain his spiky hair and to make sure it’s healthy, but they’re pretty expensive to buy when he runs out
When he tore open your present’s decorative wrapping to discover a huge basket of basically every hair product he ever needed, he got wide-eyed
There was also a booklet of little notes you’d kept throughout the month that listed all the little things you noticed and adored about your precious boyfriend
He nearly CRIED reading them
“Baby, you didn’t have to do all that for me”
“You act like you don’t deserve all of it and more, Nishi”
Refuses to leave your side after that
Holding your hand, hugging you as tight as he can, etc.
He is head over heels idc idc
Tanaka
Another man who is obsessed with the holiday season and everything that comes with it
He is the biggest sap for this shit istg
Will spend hours trying to get you the best present of all time
And he succeeds exceptionally
Mistletoe? He’s got an ABUNDANCE on hand at any time, just to make sure he can get fair share of his kissies 🥰
His signature beanie appears in full force during winter
Sometimes you’ll pull it over his eyes before giving him a peck on the cheek and dashing off in the school halls
“I’ll see you after school, babe!”
Speech = jumbled + incomprehensible
“Uh hUh, you do that~”
He’s: adorable
I just know that he melts for really sweet and thought-out gifts
Like anything you give him he’ll adore, don’t get me wrong, but the ones done with special care and love are just his kryptonite
He brought you into a massive bear hug and spun you around when he opened a photo book of old pictures taken together, complete with lots of cute messages and anecdotes written alongside them
You and Saeko may have also gone in on another present for him without his knowledge
And on Christmas Eve, you dragged a curious Tanaka into his front yard to the sight of a shiny motorbike
It was Saeko’s old one that she’d held onto for a while, and an old schoolmate offered to fix it up nice in time for the holiday at a discount, so y’all decided to divvy up the lowered price and got it done for Ryu
Sweet boy was taken aback, with his hands clapped over his mouth and everything
Saeko patted him on the back as he stood there in shock, giving her baby brother a sweet smile
“All yours, little bro!”
Ya, Saeko fucking loves you 😌 and so does Tanaka
Overall very lovely, would cry to be loved by the Tanaka siblings
Ennoshita
After spending past Decembers with his fellow second year classmates (namely, the very enthusiastic Noya and Tanaka), he’s grown to know quite a bit about the different holiday events that go on around town
Still, Ennoshita is a pretty simplistic guy and is content with simply spending time with you
So when you recommended going to pick a Christmas tree out for your place together, he’s totally down
As long as he gets to help decorate too ☺️
Y’all end up picking a beauty of a tree ngl
It’s SO TALL
And a super stronk friend — fit for the most heavy duty of ornaments
It takes some damn work to get that bad boi inside and upright after driving back to your house
But like hell did that stop you
Now that it was all set up, sturdy, and given plenty of water, decorations were brought into the equation that same night
No rest until it’s all set up and looking mighty beautiful
Okay maybe some coffee breaks in between, but other than that the grind don’t stop ✋😤
Ennoshita is an expert at making Christmas trees look absolutely immaculate
Idk if it’s because he’s had to deal with cleaning up disorder for a while now?
Looking at you, ya second year loons
He just has the touch, fam
He’ll of course let you have input on which light colors, what type of ornaments, and so on
But honestly it’s really fun seeing him fully concentrated on making your tree the best it can be
He lets you on his shoulders to put on the tree topper 🥺
For his gift, Ennoshita really loves books, so you decided to get him 12 different (hardcover!!) stories — one for each month in a year
Along with a small sticky-note blurb on the covers of each to explain why you chose it, and to give similar title recommendations if he ends up enjoying
He was so surprised with how thoughtful and extensive it was
Loved it so much that he immediately started to read the first one, with you sat in his lap
“Chikara, you realize you’re meant to start this one in January?”
“Shh, I’m getting a head start”

Home For The Holidays
Pairing: Lisa x Fem!Reader
Word Count: ~ 3,335
Warnings / Misc. -- Potentially Lethal Fluff, Crying, Holiday Themed
Disclaimer: This writing is a work of fiction, and no disrespect is meant for those mentioned herein.
A/N: Hey everybody! This idea came to me out of nowhere, but it’s definitely gotten me into the holiday spirit. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“Babe, have you seen my beanie?” Your question rings throughout the air, carrying across the apartment in search of Lisa. Just as you get your earrings put in, her reply comes through: “Mhm, it’s in here.” Before setting off to grab it, you take a long look at yourself in the mirror: the nervousness that you’re harboring is decently masked for the moment, but you pray that your composure doesn’t slip in the next few hours -- after all, that would surely spoil the fun that you have in store for Lisa.
“Aha!” You declare, sliding the material onto your head. She stifles a chuckle, which prompts you to look at her. When you do, all of the air in your lungs swiftly leaves your body; she looks absolutely stunning. She chose a simple outfit, consisting of a regular pair of jeans and a cozy sweater, but she makes it look designer. 
“I’m convinced that you can make any and everything look good.” You tell her earnestly, once some of your thought processing skills have returned to you. With a roll of her eyes, she engulfs you in a hug; her perfume washes over you, and you fall into her embrace. 
“I love you.”
Even after hearing those words from her as many times as you have, they still managed to send your heart wild. You hide your face in her neck, loving the cute squeal she lets out as you pick her up and twirl her around.
“I love you, jagi. So much.” Her eyes find yours, and the moment is perfect.
~~~~~~~
“Keep them closed! We’re almost there.” 
“You’ve been saying that for the past 5 minutes.”
“Just trust me!” You laugh at her impatience, keeping your grip on her thighs steady as you make your way towards the restaurant. She lets her head lay beside yours, resting it on one of her arms that’re wrapped around your shoulders. In any other circumstance, she would’ve been whining more by now; this time, however, she didn’t mind waiting a little longer, considering she was comfortable and content, currently receiving a piggy back ride from you. In competition with the frigid air rushing around, your bodies work to keep each other warm. 
After a little more walking, you finally reach your destination. 
“Reservation, please?” The hostess requests upon your entrance.
“L/N.” 
You gently set Lisa down, back on her feet again, and tell her to open her eyes. The expression that takes over her features is priceless, and you pat yourself on the back for having the foresight to book a table here so far in advance. The holidays always made it difficult to get in anywhere in the city without a reservation, and this restaurant is no exception -- in fact, it’s one of the hardest to get into. After hearing about the reviews, the two of you had been dying to try it out.
“Right this way, ladies.” The hostess says, and you fall in line behind her. Lisa links her arm with yours, and she begins ranting about all the different foods she wants to try.
~~~~~~~
The view from your table is unbelievable; seated next to a row of large windows, you can see the entire city before you, throngs of people walking about, enjoying their night out. You take a minute to think of all the possible things they could be doing, what routes they’re going down, each of them having a unique and beautiful story playing out in front of you. 
Against your palm, the surface of the window chills your skin. Once you remove your hand, you see the imprint of it on the glass; a reminder that you had been there. 
Lisa notices this, and leans towards the window; at first, you were confused, but soon your heart melts at her actions.
She releases a breath against it, the warm air prepping the surface for her artwork; her finger -- the very one that you’re wrapped around -- draws a heart, complete with your initials and hers inside of it.
“You’re the cutest,” she gushes, looking over your features. You can feel how dopey you look, completely in love and in awe by her. You can’t blame yourself, though. 
Her hand finds its way to yours on the table, just as it always does, and you bring it to your lips. She grins at the feeling of your lips pressed against her knuckle, and her heart skips a beat. Both of you are completely whipped for each other, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
~~~~~~~
Stuffed and satisfied with the special anniversary meal you just consumed, you and Lisa make your way out of the restaurant. Next up on the agenda for tonight: ice skating.
~~~~~~~
Waves of fresh snowflakes flurry around the two of you, seemingly in a tango with the breeze that’s drifting by; two lovers rediscovering one another. Her hand is warm within your own, the mittens on your skin keeping the harsh temperatures at bay. 
The gentle scraping of your skates can be heard against the ice, little patterns trailing behind in your wake. Yellow and white lights are strewn across the sides of the rink, offering a dazzlingly cozy aura, and you take them in. They remind you of the stars in the night sky, shining brightly, a certain unique twinkle held within each and every one of them. 
Lisa gives your hand a squeeze, her silent way of requesting your attention. 
“Yes, my love?”
A light blush rises to her cheeks as she begins speaking; you’re amazed that she still reacts to your pet names like that, just as she had when you first started dating. It’s adorable, and you can’t get enough of it.
“Let’s grab some hot cocoa, I’m getting a little cold.”
“Alright, last one there has to clean the litter box tonight!” The last part of the sentence leaves your lips in a rush, an attempt to stall her and give yourself a bit of a head start.
“Uh! Hey!” Her shocked exclamation quickly fades as you dash away from her, set on getting to the stand first. 
~~~~~~~
Now armed with your warm beverages, the two of you skate over to the bench positioned directly outside of the rink. Conveniently, the seat is equipped with a heater, and Lisa pulls you in tight.
“Mmm, it’s good.” You tell her, taking another sip. She had spent the trip over here pouting at her defeat.
The two of you carried on with light conversation, reveling in the feeling of having each other so close. The city’s atmosphere was always different around this time of year, the holidays adding an extra charm to everything, no matter what it was. You would be content with doing absolutely nothing, so long as you had Lisa by your side -- and she felt the same way about you. Perhaps that’s why your relationship was so strong; genuine love and understanding ran true in every aspect, and you could never seem to get enough of each other. You still felt the same as you did at the beginning: the happiness upon waking up next to her, that excited blush when she told you she loved you, that familiar rush of desire from your passionate nights spent together -- all of it. She’s everything you’ve ever wanted and more, and you feel beyond blessed to have the privilege of calling her yours. 
The night had been perfect so far; memories being made that would surely last a lifetime. The thoughts raced in your mind, swirling around just like the snow had before. They were only stopped by the feeling of her soft lips pressing against your cheek in a sweet kiss.
“Thank you for tonight. I’m so happy.” She leans her forehead against yours, and you brush her nose with your own.
“Of course. There’s no one I’d rather do this with.” 
Her eyes are shining with affection, and you nearly get lost in them. Before you can, you stop yourself; your plans for this special night are long from over.
“How about we walk around a bit? I saw more trees and light designs on the way here and I wanna check them out.” She happily agrees, and the two of you change back into your boots before returning the skates. You slip an arm around her shoulders as you begin your journey, and she settles against your side.
You had remembered correctly -- after a short walk, you find the hub of activity from before; a whole block of the city is filled with different vendors and booths, a wide array of services offered. The area is a holiday bazaar, groups of merry people roaming about, lighting up at the different things to do. 
Trees line the square, decorated beautifully with various lights and ornaments, their toppers reaching high up into the sky. The moment is too perfect to let slip by, so you retrieve the camera from your bag to capture it all. Lisa cuddles in close to you, smiling widely as you turn the device around to take a selfie of the two of you. 
One mini-photoshoot later, you begin your exploration of the square. Quickly, you discover what the places have to offer: some hold arts and crafts, others have face painting, snacks, and even eggnog chugging contests. You grimace at that last one, seeing a group of what appears to be frat boys stumbling around nearby.
Upon spotting a special booth in the distance, you’re quick to remember your reason for suggesting coming here in the first place: Lisa’s next surprise. You do well in acting cool and calmly bringing her attention to the area, being careful not to blow your cover. It doesn’t take much convincing to have her trailing along after you, her hand snuggly tucked into yours.
The booth in question sticks out among the others, a bit out of place in what it offers: for $5, you get the opportunity to knock the city mascot into a dunk tank. The money goes to charity, and everyone has fun in the process. Win-win, right?
The second that you approach the counter, your heart begins racing feverishly -- the plan is coming together. “Just the $5 option, thank you.” You request, and the clerk hands you the balls: $5 gets you 5 opportunities to dunk the mascot into the chilly water below. As you walk over to the tank, you’re afraid that Lisa can see your nervousness; she’s always been able to read you well. 
Luckily for you, though, you know just what to do to throw her off your tracks: you pull her in, guiding her lips to your own in a tender kiss. She places her hand overtop of yours, against her cheek, and her fingers lace with yours. She sighs against you, and you smile. Mission accomplished. Before things can get too heated, you pull away, setting the weapons of choice into her hands. “Good luck,” you whisper into her ear, a chill running down her spine at the lowness of your voice.

After 3 misses in a row, she’s beginning to get discouraged. 
“Ahh, this is rigged!” 
As you open your mouth to reply, your phone begins to ring. Right on time. You suppress the smile playing on your lips -- a task much easier said than done -- and tell her that you’ll be right back. 
You pretend to answer your phone as you return to the counter, making eye contact with the clerk. 
“Are they ready yet?” 
“Almost. They’ll be right out.” He smiles back at you, happy to see something like this about to go down. The holidays truly are a magical time of the year.
The moment is interrupted by Lisa’s father walking out of the back room and into your line of sight. “How do I look?” He asks no one in particular, and receives a whistle from his wife, who is also making her way out of the room.
You beam at them, so excited to be with them again. “Those suits look great on you guys.” You tell them, fanning yourself to add to the comical effect. They don the same outfits as the mascot sitting in the tank. 
“Alright, so does everyone remember what to do?” You ask, eyes darting between them.
“Once she dunks him, we run out and celebrate.” Lisa’s mom looks to you, waiting for your reassurance of the plan.
“Exactly. Any questions?”
“No, but hurry her up. This outfit is itchy.” You can’t help but chuckle at her father’s words; now, a little weight lifted off of your chest, you make your way back to Lisa.
“There you are! Who was that?” As much as you hate lying to her, you think it’s safe to bet that you’ll easily be forgiven. 
“Just someone from work, lame business stuff.” 
She accepts your answer right away, and turns the topic back to her mission. With you by her side once again, she resumes her efforts.
After an eternity of careful deliberation and tense preparation, Lisa chucks the next ball through the air; a loud whoosh sound follows behind it, and you hold your breath. 
Time seems to move in slow motion; the ball collides with the target, sending confetti into the air and retracting the seat beneath the mascot. Soon he’s submerged in water, everyone in close proximity to the booth now cheering loudly. Lisa turns to you, her arms above her head in triumph, a winning smile on her lips. You lift her up in celebration, and smile against her as you nuzzle your face in the crook of her neck. 
With a quick peek over her shoulder, you spot the two “mascots” approaching; you swiftly set her down and attempt to contain your excitement. 
Her mother taps her on the shoulder, grabbing her attention. She offers her daughter a balloon -- the customary prize for winning -- and claps when she takes it. Her father gives her a thumbs up and a pat on the head. 
As she turns her attention to you, shooting you a look of confusion, her mother stands behind her and removes the mascot head. The subsequent smirk that you don lets Lisa know that something is up, and she spins around once again.
Upon seeing her mother’s face, she drops to the ground, quickly becoming a mess of tears and emotions. The situation is only heightened when her father removes his mask as well, bending down to wrap his wife and daughter up in a long-overdue embrace. 
The sight before you has you in tears within an instant; opportunities like this are rare for Lisa, and you feel honored to be the reason for this little reunion. You release a silent thank you to your past self for having the foresight -- yet again -- to squirrel away some money. Something back then had told you you’d need it, and you were beyond thrilled that you had trusted your gut.
Perhaps it was your imagination, but you could’ve sworn that everything shined a little brighter now. The snow sparkled in some majestic way, and the city lights worked together to create a beautiful picture, contrasting with the dark mountains that resided in the distance. Nothing could compete with the view in front of you, though; especially when Lisa raised a hand in your direction, calling you over to their little huddle. 
The four of you held each other tightly, simultaneously sobbing and wiping away each other’s tears. No one spoke for a while; everyone was too emotional and content with the happy silence to do so. 
Besides, what could she say to you? Lisa knew automatically that you had been the one to arrange all of this and raise the money to get them a flight out. What could she possibly say to repay that? You’re her world, and she’s so happy to have you in her life. People like you are rare, and she cherishes you more with each day you spend together.
None of you really kept track of how much time had passed, but you had made your way into one of the enclosed tents, seeking shelter from the cold and dying to fill each other in on all that's happened since your last visit. 
You watch them in awe, loving the way that they light up when they talk to each other. It warms your heart, the way they're all holding hands and looking at each other with so much love. It’s easy to see that this is just what they needed; you can practically see their worries being lifted and cast away.
With one last swig of your drink, you begin to mentally prepare yourself for your final surprise.
In one motion, you accidentally drop your phone into the floor, and crouch down to retrieve it. Lisa gives you a quick look but soon does a double take when she sees you still on the floor, now down on one knee, a small box in your hand. 
You’re sure her eyes are about to pop out of her head.
As you clear your throat and swallow your nerves, you glance up at her parents; they’re already looking to you, proud expressions written plainly on their faces. That silent gesture alone is encouragement enough, and it prompts you to begin.
“Lisa…” Wow. One word in and your voice is already failing you. Your eyes shyly scan up to hers, only to find her recently dried cheeks now covered in tears once again. Her hand is clasped over her mouth in an attempt to stifle her cries.
“I knew from the moment we met that I wanted to marry you someday, and I can’t think of a better way to ask than this. I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone, and I’m so glad we get to share this day with your parents. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to properly thank them for making you, but I’ll spend my life trying, as long as you’ll have me. So, whaddya say?” 
Lisa has always made it clear how much she loves you; despite knowing that, you can’t help but feel nervous as you wait for her answer. Her head is swimming with just about every different emotion imaginable right now, and she’s doing all she can to hold in her tears long enough to respond to you.
“I love you so much. Let’s get married, Y/N.” 
A loud whoop leaves your mouth upon her reply, the sound echoing around the space.
You surge forward, eagerly pressing your lips against hers, and she cheerfully takes you into her arms. Once the ring is on her finger, you walk around to the other side of the table and embrace her parents. Having their approval and support means the absolute world to you, and you take a minute to think about how perfect everything turned out.
Now, once again cuddled into Lisa’s side, one of your hands playing with the ends of her hair, you look up into her eyes.
“How did I get so lucky?” She asks, looking down at you, utterly overjoyed with what went down tonight. 
“It was written in the stars, baby.”
Lisa’s heart swells at your words, and she pulls you in impossibly closer. Wanting to give the two of you some private time to celebrate, her parents leave the table and go to order some food from across the tent.
Now alone, her lips find yours again, and they take their sweet time in showing you all of the things she didn’t know how to verbalize to you. She peppers kisses across your face; starting with your cheeks, then your nose, and finally, your forehead. You let out a squeal as she grips your waist, her fingers gently toying with the fabric of your sweater. 
Sitting there, in the arms of the love of your life, you’ve never felt more content. What a night, you think to yourself, smiling at her parents once more.
