✦ tags: attending a food tasting event together, established relationship
looking up from your plate, you dreamily took in your surroundings for what felt like the hundredth time that evening.
the entire venue was transformed to resemble a palace, as if it was conjured straight from a storybook, with a glass-domed ceiling revealing countless constellations. lush greenery, miniature trimmed trees, and blossoming flowers surrounded each table while clinging vines wrapped around tall, marble pillars.
various food floated in like a never-ending river, carried by servers dressed in white tunics, who glided wordlessly to and from the banquet tables, ensuring that all the trays and glasses remained full.
preparations for this event certainly spared no expense, and you glanced toward the man who'd brought you here tonight, curiosity overshadowing your daze-like wonder.
"you never did tell me who planned and hosted this entire event," you comment slowly.
MARIUS doesn't seem to register your remark — which only heightens your suspicions because he's always paid attention to whatever you said — and instead brings his fork up to your lips. "have you tried this? it tastes divine."
you narrow your eyes, but he only smiles wider, nodding encouragingly as you take an acquiescent bite.
he was right, of course. everything you've sampled tasted spectacular, and you finally understood what people meant when they likened the experience of eating immaculate delicacies to a symphony of music.
yet, a nagging thought had taken root inside your head by the time you both settled in your seats to take on your third serving of the night.
so far, everything that was being served was food you particularly loved — simply heightened in class, technique, and spun into fine cuisine — and there were flavors that were not only comforting but familiar.
and by narrowing down the people who were privy to this knowledge, it seemed only rational that the culprit was the same person who invited you here.
your boyfriend.
"marius," you call out, reaching out for his hand idly tapping the table.
he takes your hands in his, almost intrinsically, brushing your knuckles with the pad of his thumb. "yes, my love?"
"who's sponsoring or hosting this event?" you ask again, and your deduction proves itself justified when he slyly attempts to avoid your gaze.
"we haven't gone over to the dessert section yet." he tips his head in a random direction, but you refuse to be sidetracked, even with the mention of tasty sweets. "would you like me to get a few for you?"
"marius."
"hmm?"
"you're avoiding the question."
he says nothing, however, and squirms slightly in his seat. finally realizing you wouldn't let go of this so easily, he sighs.
"pax is," he reveals, and your heart flutters. the sensation transitions into a hurricane when he quietly adds, "i personally oversaw the menu and made sure they whipped up all of your favorites and some other stuff you told me you've been wanting to try."
warmth spreads through your chest, and before you're able to notice it, tears prick at the edge of your eyes. "thank you. for everything."
his grin grows impossibly bright, lifting your hand to kiss the inside of your wrist. "i would even give my heart out to you on a platter if you asked for it."

Rules: List 5 things that you, without a fail, weave into or explore in your stories. Be it themes, thropes, character archetypes, etc! It really can be anything that you consistently include in your narratives for whatever reason.
ANTI-HERO/VILLAN PROTAGONISTS
I have a tendency to always have the “bad guys” be the protagonist or main characters of the story (I mean Novelty is just a mosh pit of not so great people) and try and show how people aren’t inherently bad or good. Further, I like to highlight why people are the way they are, not just “oh they’re a horrible person, for shame!”
INTERCONNECTING STORYLINES
When I say all, I mean all my simblr stories have included multiple main characters whose stories are interconnected with one another whether by being related, dating, friends, etc. I can’t help myself, the actions of one will impact everyone.
VENGEANCE
Lilith, Echo, eventually Alizah. I always have a character who finds themselves acting as karma against those they’ve believed wronged them. It’s simply the name of the game, somebody gonna get they shit rocked (physically, verbally, mentally).
THE PHILOSOPHER AND FIXER
Every story must have the wise, profound, and rational person who tries to guide those around them on the right path. We haven’t seen Isaiah in action but he most definitely is the person for all the advice. The fixer on the other hand always wants to help solve the problems created by others or help those they love, even at their own detriment. I’m looking at you Olive.
THIRD-PERSON OMNISCIENT
While not a theme or archetype, the way I write stories as a narrator that is all-seeing and all-knowing. Everyone’s perspective is shown and I don’t have a bias (at least in my writing) for one character over another. I do on some occasions enter a first person perspective for a brief moment, but I keep nice and open with my perspectives.
Bonus: NEVER FINISH A STORY. EVER. It’s bad luck I’ve heard.
Thanks for the tag @captainbored and @quietparties! I’ll tag @intramoon and anyone else who wants to do it! (seriously, just say I tagged you)
