A little fresa story IV

A certain ring to it

I know I always said I would never write this kind of prompt/au but I found an old silly idea I had back in April and I couldn’t resist fight me and it turned out to be a lot of fun while writing. Blame, eh, I mean Thanks go out to @huffletiika who didn’t know better than to encourage me - girl, you should stop me next time, my multichap feels neglected again ^^

Also a call out for @miris-xo because she called me out, I promise I am done writing this whole thing backwards now!

Another thing, because it was brought up several times now: @ac-ars and @sky-girls used the name Rory first. I used my own brain to end up with this name (also because of my roommate who is obsessed with Gilmore Girls and keeps trying to talk me into watching it), which is why I didn’t give them any credit.

„Luna, do you have any plans for tonight?“ Matteo asks her over breakfast. He knows the answer already, but he has to focus on keeping his tone as casual as possible and that takes too much effort to come up with a smoother, less obvious question.

Luckily for him, his girlfriend doesn’t suspect a thing. “No, I don’t. Do you have anything in mind?”

“I thought maybe we could go skating together. It’s been a while.”

Almost two months, to be exact. His tour is to blame, the small amount of time they spent together in between concerts was never enough for elaborated plans. But now he gets to chill for two weeks before the last part of the tour demands him to leave the country.

Those two weeks are just enough time to finally follow through with his plan.

Luna smiles at him while she steals the jar with her mom’s marmalade out of his hands. “Skating sounds great. And dinner, maybe? We haven’t been at my mom’s restaurant in ages.”

For a second, Matteo blinks at her, frozen in his surprise. Dinner wasn’t part of his plan, let alone in her mom’s restaurant. He needs this evening to be perfect, not the tiniest detail can go wrong, he only has this one shot and the added pressure of having her parents around is something he’d gladly miss out on.

But one deep breath later, he relaxes and sends her a smirk. “Only if you don’t step on my feet or make us kiss the ground.”

“Excuse me?” she shouts, her mouth half full of toast. She hastily swallows, and the grin on his face deepens. “I am the world champion! And do I need to remind you I won not only one, but two Olympic gold medals? The only thing you might kiss is my ass.”

“You’re a retired world champion, that’s different. And who knows what the break did to you and your skating skills.” Pleased with himself, he reaches out for the fruit plate and begins to nibble on a strawberry.

Luna watches his every move, her eyes turn into slits and never leave him, even when she takes a sip from her tea cup. The morning sun reflects in the green of her iris, adding a vivid, capturing sparkle to it.

“Did the truth take your breath away, chica delivery?”

A snort follows. “You wish, chico fresa. I’m just not sure how to tell you that one day, I’ll marry someone who supports me and is there for me and doesn’t mock me first thing in the morning. You’ll see, and then you’ll be very sorry.” Two strawberries land in her mouth and she munches on them with a wink in his direction, however her laugh sounds so happy and genuine, Matteo can’t possibly get mad or annoyed at her.

“Guess I’ll have to get you pregnant first then, so you can’t just leave me like that.”

“Because that worked out so well so far, huh? Besides, I could still leave you when I’m pregnant. Maybe I will.”

(Sometimes, when she’s about to win one of their banters, he misses young Luna. The sweet, innocent girl who stared at him speechlessly if he teased her enough. She’d blush, and he smirked at her and considered stealing a kiss or two. The Luna in front of him, however, stopped taking any shit long ago. She’s still kind and a ray of sunshine in his life, but also fiercer, more empowered, and braver than ever.

So, if he’s honest to himself, does he really miss the old times?)

His hand settles on his chest while he gasps and lets the spoon whirling through his coffee fall back into the cup. “No! You’d really take my baby fresa away from me? Oh, how cruel the moon can be!” With a heavy sigh, he pretends to faint on his chair before he joins Luna’s laughter.

Rolling her eyes and shaking her head, the snort she intends to send him turns into yet another giggle. “Jeez, if our kid is half as dramatic as you are, I might end up as the busiest mom on this planet.”

“And if it’s only half as mean as you are, I’ll consider myself the luckiest man on earth.”

Luna sticks her tongue out at him.

///

They spend the rest of their breakfast over more lighthearted banter. Now that he’s back by her side, at least for a while, Luna is in an extraordinarily good moon, and Matteo soaks it up like a sponge. Her smile gives him hope for tonight, her gentle touches are a silent promise and the kiss she gives him tells him how much she loves him. It’s exactly what he needs to soothe his fears, because sometimes his mind wanders, imagining all the ways this night could go wrong.

Of course, she notices when he’s not answering or stares at her without saying a single word. She notices, but she doesn’t ask why, just like he doesn’t spill a hint or blurts out the question already.

“You know I’d rather go back to bed with you than to see my parents,” Matteo admits as he puts on his jacket, the one that feels too heavy with the small box hidden in a pocket.

Luna tucks his scarf in, then lets her hand glide over her chest. “We can still do that tomorrow. Your parents are probably super happy to see you again, and I gotta visit Simón anyway, he seems to have some kind of writer’s block or something. And tonight, it’s just me and you, okay?”

Just you and me and a ring that costed me more than you’d want to know.

“Sure. Greet him from me, yeah? I love you.”

“I love you too.”

///

“Did I tell you already how beautiful you are, my little moon?” She is, indeed. Radiant and smiling and taking his breath away in this dress he likes so, so much on her. A fairy-tale princess has nothing on her, every detail of her outfit and her make-up ended up perfect, as if she knew his plan wasn’t just skating.

“Just 300 times already,” she smirks, “but I don’t mind you repeating it.”

With a chuckle, he caresses her cheek before he presses a kiss on her forehead. In return, she grants him a smile so soft, his heart sighs happily in his chest. For a moment, he’s sure this evening will be perfect, no matter what happens. Because he is with her, and with her by his side, he can do everything.

“You look pretty handsome yourself too, chico fresa.”

“Oh, I’m glad you noticed! I showered only for you, princesa.”

“What a great honor,” Luna snickers while she puts their skating gear into the back of her car. “Maybe I’ll even let you sleep in the bed then.”

Sneaking the car keys out of her hands paints a pout on her face, so he bops her nose and presses little kisses on her skin until she smiles again. “Really?” he mumbles, “Perhaps I should shower more often if I get to sleep…”

Her fingers wrap around his palm, reaching for the keys, and he has to grab her hand in order to stop her. “Uh oh, I don’t think so.”

“Matteo… don’t you wanna go home?”

Yes. No. I don’t know.

His vision blurs at her question, his heartbeat picks up until it’s the only sound in his ears. The right side of his jacket seems to wear him down, like an anchor dropped in an ocean of rejection and loneliness, pulling him deeper and deeper. A thousand thoughts pass him by, rush past him before he can get a hold on them.

What if this is too simple?

After all, she got bigger love declarations from him before. Fancy ones, with bouquets of flowers almost her size, declarations in front of the whole world, immortal on his albums. This time, there’s no stage, no flowers, no cameras. Not even his guitar.

Just him.

Because he wants her to see him, to listen to him, to say Yes to him and only him. With all his flaws, his imperfections, his mistakes.

But she loves him already, no? Through day and night, she’s been there, and she’ll love him no matter what.

Matteo takes a deep breath and finds her gaze on him, expectant. Waiting. “No. I want to go to the park.”

“Now?” She glances up at the sky. It’s a dawn in early Spring, crisp but clear, and above them the sun paints shades of rosé and soft blue into the sky. Next to her appears the moon, accompanied by the first stars and the view is stunning in its perfection.

Matteo smiles. “Yes, now.”

Her hand accepts his lead, although some hesitation still lingers in her voice. “Aren’t you afraid there’ll be paparazzi?”

“Nah. There’s this huge movie premiere tonight and they’d be dumb to not be gathered there. Tonight, no one cares about me and you.”

“Thank the stars,” Luna sighs, and he can’t help but chuckle at the relieved sigh she lets out. “I am sick of all the paparazzi and these stupid magazines article. According to them we’d have what, a whole skating team of babies now?”

They cross the street and find themselves in a corner of the park, still far away from the place he intends to go to, so he allows himself to dive into the topic. “Don’t forget all the times I cheated on you.”

“Right. By the way, did you know we’re not a couple anymore?”

“Really?”

She wraps her arm around his back, pressing herself closer to him. Perhaps the little breeze gets under her jacket and she only wants to feel the heat his body radiates, nonetheless, her gesture warms his heart. “Yeah, I finally broke up with you because I couldn’t stand that you were away on tour while I am also four months pregnant according to… ah, I don’t remember which magazine spread that rumor.”

Matteo inhales sharply, half stopping in his tracks as he stares down at her. “Damn! Why didn’t you tell me? I wouldn’t have taken you out for skating then.”

“My bad,” she grins, “I only heard of it yesterday morning. So, surprise, I guess?”

For a few seconds, he manages to keep the shocked expression on his face, but then they both break into laughter and it doesn’t matter that they scare some pigeons away who take off into the dawn.  

He pulls her into a hug, pecking her hair while he whispers, “I’m so glad I get to be with you, Luna.”

“I love you, chico fresa.”

“I love you more.”

“No, you don’t.”

“I do.”

“No.”

He’s about to answer when her fingers in his sides demand attention, out of nowhere they pester him, tickle him without mercy or caution. Back and forth, left and right, back and forth, he tries to avoid them, and it takes a while for him to escape her attacks.

Catching his breath, he’s about to complain how cruel the moon once again was, when he spots it.

The bridge. Still painted red, still surrounded by the ponds full of fish and water lilies.

Trying to ignore the adrenaline immediately flooding his veins, Matteo leads Luna closer until her eyes widen in recognition. “Remember that?” he asks, smiling.

///

“How could I forget this place?” Luna asks. She turns away from him, her hand running over the railing as the memories start to play. They were so young, so in love, and so hopeful for the future. Not all these hopes grew the wings to take off into the world, some crashed under life’s pressure, some never even made it off the ground.

But they’re still together.

In the end, that’s what matters to her, that she can count on him like he can lean on her, and that they made it through everything life threw at them.

Luna wants to ask him if he thinks there’s any chance of rain when she faces him, but the words die on her tongue.

Matteo kneels in front of her.

A box in his hands.

A ring box.

She gasps. She gasps, and she clasps her hands over her mouth and tries to remember how to breathe regularly, and he’s kneeling in front of her.

“Matteo…” A breathless whisper into the night, barely audible.

“I do love you more, Luna. I started to love you the day we first met, and there hasn’t been a single moment since then where I didn’t love you. I…” he takes a deep breath, a little crease hushes over his forehead as he searches for the right words, not that it makes any difference, because she can already feel the first teardrops on her cheek either way.

“I love your strength, and your kindness, and how you never give up on something that matters to you. Or someone. You’ve never given up on me, even when it would have been the easier way. You never gave up on me or us, and there are no words for how grateful I am for that. And I’m sorry, I promise I had a whole speech prepared but…”

“It’s okay,” she quickly says, although her voice doesn’t come off smoothly or loudly, and she has to wipe more tears away. Tear after tear, while a part of her isn’t even sure yet if this is real.

The smile Matteo sends her almost knocks her off her feet, it’s too much for her trembling knees and racing heart, it’s too much. “I love you, Luna. To the moon and back. Don’t tell Gastón I said that. But I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

His fingers fumble with the box.

Her breath hitches.

And then she sees the ring, this huge blue plastic ring that sparkles, and a laugh erupts from the deepest corner of her lungs and stomach. It mixes with sobs and a shake of her head, she can barely see him now, but she’s sure he’s grinning.

“You really kept that old thing?”

“Of course I did,” he promptly admits, “But…” His fingers reach out to her, silently ask for her attention. Her laugh ends in a small hiccup, which none of them notices because he pulls the ring out to reveal a beautiful, beautiful silver ring.

A ring meant only for her.

“Will you marry me, Luna?”

///

Their chica fresa escaped through the bedroom door. For a toddler, and one who hasn’t learned how to walk yet, she shows an amazing speed and Luna would admire it if she didn’t have to focus on catching her little runaway.

With a sigh, she rushes into the hallway, ready to collect that troublemaker, but before she takes one more step, her husband walks around the corner, a fidgeting Rory in his arms. “Your esposo fresa caught a wild crawling toddler in the living room - could that be our daughter trying to stay awake past her bedtime?”

“Looks very much like it, yes.” Looking at her daughter, Luna adds, “Aren’t you tired, darling?”

At the same time, little Aurora yawns loudly, making her parents snicker in amusement. It’s not the first time she pretends to be wide awake, and it’s definitely not the first time she is in fact very, very exhausted and ready for bed either.

Luna follows Matteo back into the bedroom. He’s already humming Rory’s favorite lullaby, a simple song he wrote for her months ago, and it takes all her self-control for Luna to not climb into their bed and space out in a heartbeat.

Her daughter whines in her crib a bit longer, but when the temptation to sleep takes over, they leave her alone.

Three minutes later, Luna dozes next to Matteo on the couch.

“Please promise me you’re not gonna spend our honeymoon with sleeping,” Matteo snickers while he pulls her into his arms and dims the noise of the TV.

She shifts until her head rests on his lap, this warm and gently moving pillow that fits her perfectly, and sighs. “I won’t.”

“Of course not.” It almost sounds like he doesn’t want to tease her.

“Matteo?”

“Hm?”

“Thank you for putting her to bed.”

Slowly, his hand begins to crawl over her back, in delicate lines and circles over her spine, and she thinks she never wants to move ever again. “Sure, little moon.”

“Guess after all I really married someone who supports me.”

A huff follows and for a moment, his touch leaves her. Luna groans. “But you said I’ll be sorry then, and I’m not,” Matteo states, before she groans again and his fingers return to caress her. With eyes half shut, she blinks up at him. The slightest smile tugs on the corner of his mouth and when he notices her gaze on him, it turns into a wide grin.

“Me neither,” she admits. And she means it with all her heart.

Most Overlooked Movies in Oscar History

Well guys, its official, Green Book was awarded the highest honour a single film can be given. Best Picture. If you spent any time on Twitter the day after the 91st Academy Awards you will have noticed that film nerds were not exactly thrilled by the decision, film Twitter immediately erupted into a discussion about all the films that didn’t receive the nomination that may have been more worthy winners than Green Book. Films like Eighth Grade, The Miseducation of Cameron Post and If Beale Street Could Talk appear to have benefited far more in regard to free publicity than any of the actual nominees. Of course, this isn’t the first time that the academy has failed to acknowledge the real best of the year and it certainly won’t be the last. So, in the spirit of being mad at the Academy let’s take a look at some of the worst historical snubs of all time.Well guys, its official, Green Book was awarded the highest honour a single film can be given. Best Picture. If you spent any time on Twitter the day after the 91st Academy Awards you will have noticed that film nerds were not exactly thrilled by the decision, film Twitter immediately erupted into a discussion about all the films that didn’t receive the nomination that may have been more worthy winners than Green Book. Films like Eighth Grade, The Miseducation of Cameron Post and If Beale Street Could Talk appear to have benefited far more in regard to free publicity than any of the actual nominees. Of course, this isn’t the first time that the academy has failed to acknowledge the real best of the year and it certainly won’t be the last. So, in the spirit of being mad at the Academy let’s take a look at some of the worst historical snubs of all time.

The Avengers (2012)

Actual nominations: Argo, Amour, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty.

The Academy has historically looked down on superhero films with no comic book adaptation receiving a Best Picture nod before Black Panther earlier this year. While The Avengers may not have been the most artistic or dramatic film of 2012 it is hard to deny it’s impact. When future generations look back on the films of the 2010s The Avengers will likely stand out as one of the most important releases. With the Marvel Cinematic Universe feeling like a part of everyday life it can be hard to remember just how big a risk this movie was at the time. Think pieces were all over the internet about how the film would ultimately end up as an unwatchable, convoluted mess of ideas that would end Joss Wheadon’s career. How wrong they were.

If the Best Picture award is supposed to honour the greatest and most important achievements in modern cinema then The Avengers absolutely deserved to end up on the ballot, but we don’t live in the universe where The Academy does cool stuff like that.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Actual nominations: Million Dollar Baby, The Aviator, Finding Neverland, Ray, Sideways.

How on earth did this happen? It truly amazes me that more members of the academy felt that Finding Neverland deserved more acclaim than Eternal Sunshine. Going of the assumption that the ‘best picture’ should be the film with all its filmmaking elements working perfectly together then Eternal Sunshine should win every year. Charlie Kaufman won the award for original screenplay and Kate Winslet received the only other nomination for lead actress, this film didn’t even receive a nomination in any of the technical categories. The treatment of Michel Gondry’s masterpiece by the Academy should be seen as a permanent black spot on the ceremony’s reputation.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Actual Nominations: Rain Man, The Accidental Tourist, Dangerous Liaisons, Mississippi Burning, Working Girl

Hear me out on this one. Roger Rabbit is one of my all-time favourite movies and for that, I’ll admit, I’m a little bias. That being said I truly believe that this is one of the finest achievements in cinema history from a purely technical level. The nominees for the 61st Acadamy Awards are solid (for the most part wtf is going with The Accidental Tourist?) but none of these films are as impressive as what Robert Zemeckis and his team were able to achieve by mixing live action film with 2D animation. Roger Rabbit is more than just a gimmick however, this a very entertaining and genuinely compelling detective story at its core. Once again, the term ‘Best Picture’ feels perfectly defined while discussing this film, a film that wasn’t even considered for the award.

Donnie Darko (2001)

Actual Nominees: A Beautiful Mind, Gosford Park, In the Bedroom, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Moulin Rouge

Excuse my language but Donnie Darko is a fucking great movie. Here is another year where the nominees were pretty solid but come on you can’t tell me that Donnie Darko was too weird and abstract when you nominated Moulin bloody Rouge! Donnie Darko is the sort of film that is still being discussed to this day with so many incredibly well thought out details both in the direction and the screenplay. When you ask a film lover what is so special about the medium it is films like this that they will point to, with an excellent score, great performances, hypnotically simple editing and masterful direction it doesn’t put a foot wrong. Do I really have to spell out what the words ‘Best Picture’ mean again?

WALL.E (2008)

Actual Nominees: Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, The Reader

Let’s talk about animation for a bit. Only three animated films have ever been nominated for top prize (Beauty and the Beast, Up and Toy Story 3) considering the amount for excellent animated film are not those three I had a lot to choose from. With the likes of My Neighbour Totoro, Toy Story, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Princess Mononoke and The Nightmare Before Christmas going completely unnoticed the academy has found a way to further segregate the medium of animation from live-action film by introducing the ‘best animated feature’ award at the 2002 ceremony. This addition has led to films like Spirited Away, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Frozen, Inside Out and most recently Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse receiving an award without having to let them compete with live action films. There are no academy rules that state animation cannot be considered for Best Picture it just doesn’t happen. I have singled out WALL.E because I think it showcases exactly what modern animation has achieved. WALL.E is a largely silent film with gorgeous visuals and a strong environmental message that is still accessible to general audiences, including children. Surly one of Pixar’s finest achievements deserves to be held in just as high regard as David Fancher’s 8th best film.

 Ps. You will notice a distinct lack of The Dark Knight in the 2008 nominations as well.

Psycho (1960)

Actual Nominees: The Apartment, The Alamo, Elmer Gantry, Sons and Lovers, The Sundowners

Another genre historically left out of the running is horror. Only 6 horror films have ever been up for the award (The Exorcist, Jaws, The Silence of the lambs, The Sixth Sense, Black Swan and Get Out). Horror is a genre that is often looked down upon in the film community for being ‘low-brow’ and not as artistic, a similar struggled as the one faced by the superhero genre. With important releases such as: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Suspiria, Halloween, Alien, The Shining, Let he Right One In, Night of the Living Dead and perhaps most surprising, Psycho going unnoticed by the academy it is clear to see that there is a bias against the genre somewhere in Hollywood. Psycho is also emblematic of another problem with historic best picture nominations. What on earth is the academy’s issue with Alfred Hitchcock? Psycho is not the only of Hitchcock’s classic films not to receive the nomination, in fact North by Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window and Dial M for Murder were all snubbed.

On a related note despite being nominated 5 times Hitchcock never received the Oscar for best director putting him in the prestigious company of: David Lynch, Terry Gilliam, Ridley Scott, Wes Anderson Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher, Edgar Wright, Spike Lee, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Wells and Stanley Kubrick. So, I guess you could say that it isn’t just the Best Picture category that doesn’t make sense.

 These were 6 examples I felt I could make a point out of, it is important to remember that many more examples are out there of revolutionary masterworks that went unrecognised come awards season. People don’t take into consideration what happens behind the scenes at the Oscars. The ceremony needs good ratings, The Academy needs to honour films with progressive messages that are easily digestible, and everyone has an agenda and wants to see their friends win. The Oscars are a lot of fun, it gives people like as a chance to talk about the films we loved that year hopefully see our favourites given some well-deserved recognition but let’s not take it more seriously than we should. Next year when the Academy inevitably choses to honour mediocrity remind yourself that The Third Man wasn’t nominated in 1950 or you could remind yourself that Singin’ in the Rain wasn’t nominated in 1953, alternatively mention that 2001: A Space Odyssey was snubbed in 1969, The Matrix in 2000, Back to the Future in 1986, Pan’s Labyrinth in 2007, Cool Hand Luke in 1968. Or if you want your could run into the street and shout about how, Duck Soup, Modern Times, His Girl Friday, Night of the Living Dead, The Shining, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Oldboy, Reservoir Dogs and The Big Lebowski all weren’t nominated for god dammed thing.
