Daichi Headcanons ❤️ - NSFW
Here he is! The man the myth the legend 🥰
Written in his memory 😔 RIP Daichi
Warnings: mentions of daddy kink, choking, and various position but nothing super explicit
Minors are not allowed to interact and stay out of the cut! Minors DNI!!
I murdered my beta’s like Tanaka murdered Daichi
Check out my headcanons for Tsukki and Kyoutani
Tumblr media
Sexy driver pt2. One hand on the wheel, the other holding yours. Just watching his arms flex as he changes gears is enough to have you flustered. Always opens your door for you and helps you get in. Let’s you pick the music and pulls over if you want takeout
Concedes the aux cord but has pretty good taste in music. Prefers more mellow sounds. Indie, jazz, soft rock. He takes you to local shows as dates and will either watch you dance, or hold you close to slow jams. FestivalDaichi! is a new man. Get him drunk and he gets handsy. (Drunk kisses 🤤)
Just loves to spend time with you. The best day out partner. Breakfast at a cafe in the morning, holds your bags and your hand. He doesn't complain if you wanna try on clothes or shoes or browse games, he’s just genuinely happy to be there
A handyman. Owns a tool belt that you bought him and looks damn good in it too. Puts up shelves, fixes sinks, cleans gutters, mows lawns. And if it’s summer, then you have a shirtless handyman to boot. (Note to self: handman Daichi 😌)
Speaking of shirtless Daichi, because of his rota at the firestation (hashtag: FiremanDaichiForLife) he prefers to workout at home. He works out in the garden when it’s warm, and in the living room when it’s cooler. Either way, you have a free show at least twice a week. He will let you sit on his back while he does push ups, or hold you while he squats
Will indulge all your couple tiktok challenges with a sheepish grin, and fondness in your eyes. The comments are full of ‘get you a man who looks at you like that’
This man is romantic. I’m talking candlelit dinner, flowers for no reason, surprise lunch at your workplace. He’s just a modern, old-fashioned man who treats you like a treasure
The king of soft intimacy. Cooking together. Baths together. Wine and candles in your living room. Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles. Play with his hair and you risk just putting him straight to sleep, but who can resist the world’s best weighted blanket.
Daichi is forever your personal cheerleader. He supports all your choices, dreams, and goals. He’ll give you advice, or talk through anything you’re hesitant on. Even if they’re whimsical. You wanna start dance classes. He’ll go to any recital. You decide to switch to marathon running, he’ll be there with a sign and a gallon of water. Cosplay, chocolate making, fanfiction 😉. He doesn’t care, as long as you’re happy
Call. Him. Daddy. And let him fuck you into the mattress or kitchen table, or sofa, or floor as a result
I touched on this briefly once, but choke him. You are Not in charge, but he just loves the feeling of your hand on his throat. The flutter of your fingers as he makes you cum
An ass man through and through. At this point his fingerprints are embedded in your ass cheeks from the way he grips them. Doggy; he’s spanking you. Missionary; he’s using your ass as leverage. Riding him; better believe he’s squeezing it as he makes you bounce harder.
Speaking of handy men, he has big hands and puts them to good use. Sits you on his lap and fingers you until he thinks you’re ready
Thick thighs save lives, and Daichi wants you to ride his. He’ll lick your nipples while you do, and basks in the mess you make on his thighs as a result (clearly my thoughts revolve around sitting in his lap and having a great time)
Without fail, will pull them panties to the side. Even on days when you have time to get naked. Loves the way you look in lingerie and loves the way you soak the fabric when he makes you cum
Daichi just make brain go brrr. Nothing but respect for my husband captain

The Loneliest [Epilogue] | Kylian Mbappé x Fem Reader
Tumblr media
[Part One] [Part Two] [Part Three] [Part Four] [Epilogue]
Summary: A glimpse into your life with Kylian Mbappé.
Warnings: Smut, oral (male and female receiving), cussing, crying, pregnancy, badly google translated french, super cheesy (sorry not sorry), I feel like I got a little preachy at the end there but I feel like it fits, so it stayed in, 10.8k words so read when you have time to spare lmao. Let me know if I missed anything! – English is not my first language –
Masterlist
"You seriously need to get out of this place." Kylian grunted as he wiped his hands on a dirty hand towel, sweat shining on his forehead.
You scoff. "You're telling me." You leave the fruit you were slicing on the counter to lean over and quickly peck him on the lips. "Thanks for fixing the AC, babe."
"Don't thank me yet. I don't even know if I did any of that right." He chuckles, stealing a peach slice from the cutting board and popping it in his mouth.
Fair point. Though you felt the air finally blowing coolly on your sweaty neck, Kylian was absolutely not a handyman. But all you had to do was bat your lashes and he was game, taking his shirt off with a wink and throwing it at you jokingly.
Even after almost seven months of living in this shoebox, your landlord had only come once to replace your doorknob which promptly fell off the next day. Besides being absolute dog shit at his job, he's a creepy man. Always with a lingering stare and invasive questions. Kylian met him one time and assured you you didn't have to call that guy ever again, that he'd take care of any maintenance issues. You laughed out loud when he told you this which bruised his ego, but he's kept his word.
So far, he's successfully captured and released a rat, unsuccessfully repaired your ceiling fan, and more recently, accidentally sprayed himself in the face with a vicious stream of water while trying to fix your drippy kitchen faucet. He was pissed, but only for a second. Your unstoppable laughter cut right through his bad mood that was sure to explode out. Instead, you both shared a moment of wheezing, clutching your stomachs and clinging onto each other for balance.
It had been a good six months officially back together. Better than good. The relationship itself was easy. Of course it was easy… you knew him inside and out, and vice versa. You’d tried to keep your guard up, truly... but, whenever Kylain wrapped his large hand around your waist like he was now, you melted into him.
You continue slicing peaches and berries, Kylian's sweaty and shirtless body pressed behind you to look over your shoulder, resting his chin on your bone, placing only one kiss to the side of your neck to hear you giggle. The sweet sound was his absolute favorite since the moment he met you. The spot where your shoulder met your neck would scrunch into his face when his lips landed there — a useful piece of information he took advantage of ever since he discovered it.
“I have a knife in my hand, you know.” You warned playfully, making him squeeze you affectionately.
“Wow, I’m very scared.”
“You should be.” You set the knife down and turn in his arms, facing Kylian, only a couple inches away from his face. “I’m deadly.”
“That, you are.” He mumbled in a sultry tone, pressing forward to kiss you without hesitation, letting his hands begin to move on your hips, pulling your body directly into his.
You wrap your arms around his neck and move your mouth against his, careful not to touch him with your sticky fingers. He smiles against you, walking your entwined bodies backwards until his leg hits the couch, bringing you both down onto the soft cushions.
“Kylian!” You chuckled delightedly, pulling away from his face as you straddled his lap, his hands resting on your ass comfortably. “I’m making a tart.”
“Let’s make out first.” He dictated, biting his lip as his stare became needier.
You rolled your eyes, shaking your head with an adoring grin. “It won’t take me long to finish.”
“Me neither.” He joked, wiggling his eyebrows, defensively laughing as you smacked his arm at the comment.
You still haven’t had sex, not since before the break up. It wasn’t a precaution or punishment you intended on keeping for this long, but you wanted the timing to be perfect. You understand that this is quite a large amount of pressure to put on one single moment, but it’s a part of you you didn’t want to give away just yet. A safety net, of sorts. It had been almost eight months since that dreary night of your birthday. To some, that might seem like a long period to not have sex — but to you, the broken intimacy extends far past the parameters of time. You’d do it when you were sure you were ready.
Thankfully, Kylian accepted your decision and respected it, but refused to hold back his affections. Physically, he didn’t think he could. You were just so cute, so sexy, and exclusively his again.
You climbed off his lap, tusking at him as you walked away back into the kitchen. Not a far walk, but Kylian enjoyed the view nonetheless.
He wanted you so bad. Obviously, the amazing sex wasn’t even close to the sole reason for wanting you back… but he was just a man. An impressive man, yes. But still only a man. He could whine about it as much as he wanted to, but this was still your timeline and his fuck up.
You were stuck in a daydream as you began to roll the dough out. Your shitty oven preheated fourteen degrees hotter than your recipe called for, but the heat mechanism inside was as old as Paris itself. You’d had one too many under baked dishes until you finally figured it out. You made sure the line was drawn for handyman-Kylian when he needed to stick his head inside of an oven.
You were snapped out of your thoughts when the oven started to click. Now, you’re no expert, but that’s not something an oven should do. You and Kylian both locked eyes, a furrow of concern growing on both your faces as the clicking turned to rattling. Then, it began shaking, shaking until it plopped itself open like in a cartoon, the oven door breaking off completely and clanging on your floor, sending a wave of strong heat straight to your face.
“Jesus!” You jumped back and Kylian was pulling you away toward the front door in a millisecond.
“Stay there!” He yelled running back to the kitchen, carefully stepping around the heated door on the ground while avoiding the scorching air from the oven, turning the knob to turn it off hurriedly. He sprinted back to you as you both watched the oven calm itself, the laser red heaters inside slowly dwindling.
You stared at your kitchen with tears of frustration brimming your eyes, uniting your apron and throwing it down. “I fucking hate this place!” You crossed your arms, well aware your pout looked like a third graders.
Kylian hooked his arm around your shoulder, bringing your crying figure into his chest. “I know, amour. I know.”
Kylian felt waves of guilt in moments like these, knowing that if it weren’t for him, you’d be comfortable in your shared home, lavishly living like he wanted you to. Like you were meant to. He’d offered many times to at least let him pay for an upgrade, but the scowl alone let him know that he was not to do that. You made it clear that your life and his were to be separate until further notice. Even offering to buy you a new shower head was crossing that line, no matter how badly you wanted one that didn’t feel like you were being pissed on by an elderly man.
“How ‘bout we finish your tart at my place?” He murmurs, tilting your head up, wiping the tears away carefully. You nuzzled your nose back into his skin, nodding and sniffling.
He helped you place everything neatly in Tupperware containers while you made yourself an overnight bag.
You kept disposables at his place; toothbrush, extra face wash, makeup wipes… the sort of things that were replaceable in case anything went awry. But recently, you’d notice you’d leave your charger there accidentally, a couple of nice shirts or jeans. Though you scolded yourself for the carelessness, a part of you was happy your subconscious knew you’d be back there. The possibility of everything going to shit again wasn’t anywhere in sight, but you didn't want to jinx it.
His place always smelled the same. Woody, slightly floral, airy like the windows were always left open. Your place, on the other hand, always smelled of mildew, no matter how long you’d let fresh air in, how many candles you lit, how many air fresheners you bought. His home was evocative. Comforting. The perfect place to finish your tart.
“Can I help?” Kylian asked, taking yet another peach from your tray.
“Yeah, how about you stop stealing my ingredients?” You poked, sifting more flour on his countertop.
“But they taste so good.”
“Don’t care. Chef’s rules.” You shrug, pulling the bowl of fruit away from Kylian.
He clicked his tongue disapprovingly as you focused on making your desert, continuing to roll the dough out like you had been trying to do for the past hour. Suddenly, you felt a sharp whip on your ass.
“Ah!” You squeal, turning around and seeing Kylian wearing a shit eating grin and holding a kitchen towel innocently. “You whipped me!” You try and hold back a grin, but it slipped through.
Kylian shrugged. “You can’t prove anything.”
“Oh, you wanna mess with me?” You shake your head, taking the towel that was thrown over your shoulder and twisting it menacingly, instantly sending Kylian on defense with his own towel.
You both were set in position, just waiting for the other to make a move. You tried your luck and it worked, whipping him right on the leg.
“Putain!” He curses, immediately retaliating but missing when you step back. You tried again, hitting him in the butt as he attempted to run away, laughing when you heard his playful scream. “Oh, now you’re really gonna get it, mon chérie.”
You both psyched each other out on opposite ends of the kitchen island, giggling at every move you made. This was Kylian's game. Having professional practice at this daily, he caught you when you tried to make a run for the living room, strong arms wrapping around your waist.
“No!” You cackled, doing your best to hit him with the rag as your limbs went weak with joy, letting him carry your full body weight down to the couch, your head landing on the cushion as he straddled you. He poked your sides, successfully tickling you into a silent laughing mess, big intakes of air were few and far between until you could pull yourself together enough to wave your white flag. “Okay! Okay! I give up! You win!”
He stopped, chuckling at you who was still calming down, arms protectively covering your stomach. Kylian was absolutely filled with adoration at this moment. He loved seeing you so happy, so candid, so full of life. He loved knowing he played a part in that. That he made you laugh. He was responsible for the now subdued giggles that found their way up from your chest by their own accord.
He couldn’t help himself. He leaned down and kissed your lips so sweetly that it made him dizzy… it made you dizzy. You placed your gentle hands on his face, pulling him in deeper, scratching the nape of his neck and pulling back enough to watch the goosebumps flood his skin.
“You still love when I do that.” You mumble, voice quiet and wispy.
He hummed, turning his head to kiss your wrist. “I just love you.”
Your heart thumped at his affirmation. It did every time. “I love you too.”
With nothing else left to say, you pulled him back into you, letting the passion take over as your leg wrapped up and around his waist to pull him closer.
He might as well have been devouring you, soaking in every ounce of love you presented him with. His tongue lapped yours, hands roaming up and down your sides, feeling the hums you sang in his entire body like electricity.
His hips began to grind gently on yours, lost in the sweet kisses you bombarded him with as he moved down your neck, leaving purposeful hickeys on it as proof that he was there. Proof that you were his. He began to get hard, something he’d usually try and hide to not make you feel bad about the no sex thing, but he didn’t this time. He was too caught up in this moment with you.
Without much warning, you flipped both of your bodies around, now straddling his taken-aback figure. You leaned down and pressed one single long kiss on his lips before pulling off completely, standing and walking away.
You left Kylian on his back, a disappointed look on his features as he caught his breath, your body nowhere near his anymore. He wanted to fully feel you again so badly, already making a plan to excuse himself to the bathroom for approximately 5-10 minutes to take care of himself.
Before he could, a piece of clothing landed on his body. He looked at it confused, leaning up and over the back of the couch to see you standing halfway up the staircase, topless, a flirtatious smirk dancing across your features. Once you saw the realization hit him, you giggled and jogged up the stairs.
He only let himself sit in shock for a second before he jolted up, making long strides toward the staircase, following the trail of clothing. Your shorts, your socks, until he reaches the doorknob that you hung your bra on. He took them all in his hands, slowly opening the door.
There you were — revealed, laying with your arms propped up, facing his direction in nothing but a pair of underwear, your figure shining in the afternoon sun that was steeping through the open window. The backlighting provided a luminous halo around your head, eyes traveling down to your hardened nipples, your navel, your legs — you looked completely angelic. His limbs lost the ability to hold up your strung clothing anymore, letting them drop to his feet as he exhaled, eyes hooded with need.
“Shut the door, baby.”
He does as he’s told, closing it with his foot so he wouldn’t have to turn away from your practically naked body. As he walked to you, he shed his own clothing, leaving himself only in boxer briefs when he reached you, laying on top of you. He wastes no time kissing you, showing you how desperate he is for this moment to go on.
His left hand held his weight up as his right traced a gentle path from your thigh to your neck, pulling your face ever closer to his, noses smushed against each other.
You whimpered, feeling wetness pool between your legs, moving your hips against his now obvious erection. You placed your thumb under the hem of his boxers, tugging them down as far you could until he rolled over on his back and pulled them down the rest of the way, erection slapping his stomach. His eyes were wide as you straddled him again, placing your warm hands on his bare chest.
“You’re so sweet to me.” You praised, voice like candy but extremely sultry. You pecked his bicep. “And patient.” You kissed his chest. “And thoughtful.” Just above his belly button. “You’re… everything to me.” You sigh, kissing almost the base of his wanting member, keeping eye contact as you grab it, kissing his red tip.
He whined at the contact, caressing your hair. “Bébé…” He wanted to say so much more, but when he saw your lips wrap around his head, all he could do was throw his head back into the pillow and lift it just as fast, not wanting to miss a second of this moment.
You took him down slowly, twisting your hand up and down with slight pressure, tracing the familiar veins as you went on. His moans were pure filth, just getting filthier the deeper you took him. You were proud of yourself for not losing your deepthroating abilities as his tip went down your throat and your lips met his base, massaging his balls as he groaned into the air.
You pulled back and flattened your tongue against his slit, using the tip of your tongue to circle around it stiffly. “Mon dieu…” He hissed, breathy and laced with unadulterated pleasure.
Finally, you gave into your craving – fully realizing how much you’d missed having him in the palm of your hand like this. Taking the entirety of his length all the way back in without warning made his hips jolt into you, causing you to gag but not pull back. His eyes were fixed on yours and how tears formed on your lashes. Your mouth is so full of him, bursting at the seams as your lips touched his base. The way you tried to take him deeper with a slow shake of the head… it all drove him mad. He felt like he was under your spell.
The shallow breaths and whines Kylian sounded out made you soak your panties even more. You felt as if he were close, but you didn’t want him to come. Not yet.
You pulled him out with a pop, wiping the corners of your mouth as he wasted no time sitting up. His gaze didn’t falter as he watched how you stood on your knees on the bed, straddling his legs, looking down at Kylian who made eye contact as his hands were placed flat on the outsides of your thighs. Slowly, he pulled your panties down. He was practically face to face with your pussy but felt the need to look at you, your eyes, the way you bit your lip. He finally looked forward and groaned appreciatively at the sight, seeing you glisten for him.
“You’re perfect.” He said almost to himself, putting his hands on the round of your ass to get you to shuffle into his face. Once you were close enough, he buried himself in your slit immediately as you grabbed his shoulders and dug your nails in.
He tilted back to get the perfect angle for his tongue to meet your clit, expertly moving his tongue back and forth, up and down, every direction with consistency and pressure. He couldn’t get enough of your taste, feeling like an addict who’s relapsed on his drug of choice.
He couldn’t be positive that this wasn’t another wet dream as he watched your chest heave above him, the light now hitting you directly. It illuminated every goosebump, every divot, every curve, every stretch mark, every bit of your skin. He didn’t even know if he was blinking, taking a mental video of the way you looked right now for later, whenever he was alone.
Your legs shook as he added a finger up into you, then another to accompany it. “Holy… fuck… yes!” You couldn’t keep the moans in if you tried, your mind blank from anything but the thought, why the hell did I wait this long again? You’d know the answer in a heartbeat if Kylian hadn’t begun scissoring his digits, curling them like he had a map telling him exactly where to go.
“Oh, god… Kylian… yes! Right there… feels so good, baby.” You blabbered, maybe not as coherent as you meant for it to come out, but Kylians ears perked at any noise he could get out of you, pressing his face lower and deeper into your pussy. He continued to eat you out, fingering you mercilessly. His own moans were blubbered, sending the vibrations through you anyway, amplifying the sensation of him being tucked between your legs.
“Ky… fuck!” Your voice shook along with your legs as you neared your climax. “You’re gonna make me cum so hard, baby.” You grabbed the back of his head and pushed it harder against you. He wanted to tell you how he wanted to feel you cum all over his face, on his tongue, on his fingers… but couldn’t find it in him to pull away from your sweetness.
Instead, he laid down on his back, doing his best to pull you with him to not break his movements. You let him pull your body down to effectively sit on his face, eyes rolling back at the increased pressure as he tugged you deeper.
“Holy shit.” You groan, grabbing the headboard with a white fist, peeking down at Kylian who had his hands wrapped around your upper thighs, his eyes the only visible portion of his face from where he drowned himself in you.
His long, long fingers were relentless at speeds you’d only attribute to him, tongue lapping perfectly in sync, brutally abusing your sensitive bundle of nerves over, and over, and over, and over…
“Oooh, fuuuck!” Your high pitched voice elongated and wobbly as your orgasm nearly brought spots to your eyes, sending waves of pleasure through your body. You shook uncontrollably as Kylian continued to lap up everything you gave him, fingers still working inside of you until you instinctively used any strength left in you to pull off of him, moving your hips lower until your upper body rested completely on top of his.
Kylian breathed heavily on his back, feeling so accomplished and satisfied, no matter how painfully hard he still was. He was surprised he didn’t blow his load watching and listening to you scream his name. Even now he could cum with the feeling of your wetness bare on his skin and your lazy kisses on his peck, shaking fingers reaching down to tangle your hands together.
Without saying anything, you pulled yourself up, shifting your weight until you were lined up with his cock, pressing your wet core down on it and grinding against him.
“Ah…” He groaned, shutting his eyes at the friction. “I really am not gonna last if you do that, bébé.”
You bit your lip and smirked lovingly down at him, untangling your hands and used them to run up and down his bare chest. Feeling his muscles flex and heave was so intimate, wanting, needing to feel every inch of his skin with your own.
You lifted your hips once more, using one of your hands to line up his girthy member to your weeping core, letting it prod you open like he has hundreds of times before. The tightness from your last orgasm, the slick mix of his own spit and your cum, the feeling of finally getting to bury himself inside you once more… to think it all felt elusive to him just six months ago. To think he could have lost you forever.
His brows furrowed as you took him to the hilt, resting there to let yourself adjust to his massive size. Kylian looked to where your bodies connected, biting his lip to keep from moaning at just the sight. His hands grabbed your ass cheeks as you slowly began to move. The stretch was perfect, the pain from it even heightened the sensation of the intimate act.
“Fuck.” Kylian breathed as you found a slow rhythm, bouncing up and down on his dick.
He began to meet you halfway with his thrusts, hypnotized by the way your tits bounced in his face as you leaned forward. He hummed in pleasure, reaching out in front of him to grab two handfuls of your breasts, tweaking your nipples under his fingers, tugging at the supple skin.
The sun beamed on you like a goddess, as he continued to watch you in perfect clarity. The noises in the room were filthy, moans and grunts, skin slapping together, low curses that groveled out straight from your chests.
Your legs became tired and you leaned forward more, bodies pressed up against one another completely as you moved your hips against his, feeling your second orgasm beginning to brew inside your lower belly.You buried your face in Kylians neck as he held your body tightly, hugging your torso as you continued to move back and forth.
He could tell your muscles were sore from riding him, so he shifted his hips up slightly. “You’re so amazing.” He praised into your ear, kissing your shoulder as he propped his legs up. “I love you so much.”
Kylian, though not on top, wanted to have some of the control. Make you feel so good. He positioned himself perfectly to fuck up into you… and he did.
The first thrust was deep and hard. “Oh, Ky… oh… fuck!” You moan out, pulling back from his neck to look him in the eye. The second thrust was the same. And the third. And the fourth. His pace was ruthless and tender, perfectly rough as the drag of his dick going in and out, poking and poking that spot that made your toes curl into themselves.
You cussed out, moaned out his name — the vibrato of your moans matching the continuing thrusts into you that didn’t falter, didn’t stop, didn’t hesitate. Not even when you saw the familiar scrunch between his eyebrows raise up.
“You gonna cum inside me, baby?” You heaved, not knowing how much longer you’d be able to hold your own climax.
He screws his eyes shut, trying to form a word but just grunting instead, nodding quickly. You leaned down and kissed him, gently biting his lower lip and tugging it.
He held you tighter, leaning up to press his forehead to yours, lips and noses brushing against each other, breaths becoming one as your opened mouth pants fanned the others face. “Cum with me, amour.”
“Mhm.” You hummed out a moan of agreement, actual words being much more difficult.
Staring dotingly into the eyes of the man you love, letting him make love to you… Bare and vulnerable together. Tethered to each other through years of good humor and solid devotion. In that moment, you two felt unbreakable. Whether that was true or not didn’t matter. Not even a little bit. You’d weathered the storm and found out it was impossible to survive it without the other. That feeling of true love translating into a physical act, knowing that the emotions you held for each other were authentic and reciprocated was a feeling you’d carry with you for the rest of your life.
You felt the warmth spread in your lower abdomen as you curled into Kylians sweaty body. “I’m gonna cum,” you pant, bracing his shoulders.
“Me too. Fuck.” He cursed, not wanting this moment to end. He continued his thrusts, watching the pleasure and torture grow on your face by the second. He thrusts again, again, again, again, until he knew he couldn’t stop himself anymore. “Cum for me, bébé.”
You cried out into his mouth. He did the same, squeezing your body against his so tightly. Simultaneously, your orgasms ripped through your bodies. Your walls shook around him as he spurted his hot seed inside you, effectively painting your walls white as he fucked it deeper into you. He did his best to keep his eyes open, needing to see how you fell apart… It was magic.
His thrusts slowed until they halted altogether. Your ears rang at the silence that followed the passion, slowly regaining the ability to listen to the synchronized breathing, the rapid heartbeats that thumped loudly against the others chest, the faint ambiance of the outside world you both had forgotten about, only focused on the one true love in front of you… in front of him.
“Kylian?” You heaved after a moment of basking in each other's presence, feeling his hand move up and up your bare back to hold the back of your head against his chest.
“Yes, mon amour?”
You paused, smiling and kissing his chest tenderly. “I don’t think I’m ever gonna finish that tart.”
Five months later
“Okay. Fine. I’ll hand it to you.” You sigh, hand resting on your hips as you try and catch your breath. “This was definitely worth the hike.”
Kylian blew a raspberry as he set the blanket down on the tall grass. “That was barely a hike.”
“It was a steep hill.”
“You didn’t even carry anything.” He pointed out, setting the basket down and gesturing to it. “That shit is heavy.”
“You packed it.” You respond, walking over and sitting down on the checkered material and shuffling through the items in the wicker basket. “Oh, damn. Ky. I thought this was going to be like… ziplock baggies and canned wine kind of picnic.”
“Canned wine?” He repeated, shocked and almost offended.
“It’s a thing.” You shrugged, pulling out the glass tins full of food, opening them, spreading them around neatly as he sat next to you and helped by lighting a candle he brought to keep away the bugs.
He pulled out a bottle of cabernet, wiggling his eyebrows at you. “Tonight is for real wine.” He stated, uncorking the bottle with the corkscrew.
He really thought of everything.
You thanked him as he handed you a stemless glass full of red liquid. “You’re so cute.” You mumble, watching him as he opened the container with pastries, neatly organized, somehow unaffected by the long drive and trek up to this spot. A light laugh escaped his lips, shy under your loving gaze. You squeeze his hand for a second before you request, “let me take a picture of you, honey.” 
It obviously wasn’t a suggestion as you shuffled opposite of him, positioning yourself behind your cell phone.
Kylian smiled, squinting slightly at the direct sunlight of the lowering sun. The captured moment couldn’t be more sweet, feeling a goofy giggle rise from your chest looking at your man digitally captured. It couldn’t possibly compare to the actual sight, but it was a close second.
“Adorable.” You go back to your spot, now leaning some of your body weight on his shoulder. “Let's eat. I’m starving.”
He chuckled, having heard that from you the second he began driving from the small rental cabin in the French countryside to this spot. A secluded hillside facing west, painted with wildflowers and tall grass. He felt around discreetly in his pocket, finding that the small box was still secured safely in there.
He handed you a cloth napkin when he saw you devouring one of the finger sandwiches and using your hand as a plate. You thanked him with a giggle, not even embarrassed about the glob of mustard you felt at the corner of your mouth.
You both carried casual conversations while you munched on the packed dinner; listening to his stories about the team, asking about family members, laughing at inside jokes, gossiping about people at your work… domestic conversations that flowed like a river downstream.
The way you gently brushed away a crumb on the corner of his mouth… how you’d take a bite of his pastry even though you had your own…  watching your nose scrunch up and your head tilt back when he made you laugh… when he shielded you from the gentle spring breeze and you tucked yourself deeper into him until eventually, the pair of you might as well have combined into one. It was all so comfortable.
He noticed as you became distracted from the conversation, the clouds in the sky whisking together as the colors change catching your attention more than his locker room story.
“It's so beautiful here..." You mumble softly, trying to conserve this serene moment. You romanticized this kind of life; settling down in the French countryside; acres of open land and rolling hills, living off of homegrown vegetables and freshly squeezed lemonade.
Kylian pulled your shoulder down into his body, letting you use him as a headrest until you shuffled your way in between his open legs, falling into his warm embrace as if it was chiseled just for you by whatever higher power was out there.
He wrapped a snug and affectionate hug around your waist, pressing his cheek to the side of your head. Solely your presence in this time was enough to make him yearn to grow roots; plant himself deep into this soil with you in his embrace. The old oak trees that were scattered across the land were calling him to settle down with them. They reached toward the sun, strong and tall, branching out with leaves that danced happily in the sporadic gusts of air, content in their growth, their place, their permanence.
Ever since he'd known you, he knew you had a thing for sunsets. You would point them out so frequently as if it were your first time ever seeing one. His fondest memory is winning your love back while watching the long rays of sun break through the clouds in his Paris home, the home you finally share again. Well over a year has passed, but he remembered every detail like it just happened the day before. That's why this was the place he'd ask you – again – to marry him. This time, he'd see it through. He'd watch you walk down the aisle. He'd kiss you after declaring his love in front of everyone. He'd spend the rest of his days cherishing you, growing a family of your own, reminding you how perfect you are to him.
He kissed your temple, warmth spreading when you pressed into his lips, hearing you take a deep breath in. He took one also, preparing himself for what’s to come. "Come on. I gotta show you something."
He stood up and helped you along, grabbing your hand and entwined your fingers, leading you down the hill, walking hand in hand for a couple minutes. You saw it immediately, even from yards away; the field of wildflowers that sprung up from the ground, invading the land for miles was impossible to ignore. The untouched area leaves them at peace to grow and be beautiful, insusceptible to the wrath of lawn mowers and weed-wackers.
As their petals reflected the gold rays of the sun, the light changed the colors of your skin. He couldn’t focus on the deep warming hues above him like you were, completely distracted from the sight. The sun kissed the horizon and he could see its mirrored image in your eyes. He decided that was a much better way to experience this.
“Kylian.” You breathed, your voice airy and dreamy. Your eyes couldn’t be torn away as you walked into the field of flowers, feeling the stems tickle your ankles. Kylian stayed in place, your hands parting when you walked too far away. “Look at the sky.”
He found himself in this situation before, having to disobey your request once again as his eyes were preoccupied. He wished he was a painter so he could recreate this scene and look at it forever; put it up in a museum with a silver plaque that told everyone how much you mean to him — though he was sure that even with the largest of vocabularies, the words to truly explain the way you made him feel didn’t exist. It was allconsuming. Overpowering. Unreal.
He thought about the last time he was in this position – with a ring burning a hole in his pants pocket. The sweat beads on his forehead were obvious that night, having to use his suit jacket’s sleeve to keep them out of his eyes. He remembered how all of your peers cheered when you said yes, the rooftop restaurant rented out for only your close friends and family. It was nice experiencing that blissful moment with others, but today felt calmer. Like the eyes of the world couldn’t reach you. The pressure of it all was still heavy, but his soul was still as water in a pond, only riddled by the distant worry of the inevitable day's end — healed rapidly by the knowledge he’d have you in his arms every day after.
You faced the horizon still, back turned to him when his knee had found the earth below him, his fingers clutching the pocket sized box. He should be nervous now like he had been all week, overthinking every integral moment of the rebuild of your relationship — but he knew right now, in this moment, in his heart, it’d be you and him forever. Just as the universe intended.
“Isn’t it perfect?” The words escaped your lips just as you twirled around, not expecting to have to look down to meet your lover's adoring gaze. You gasp, putting your hand on your chest at the man on one knee.
You two shared a second of silence, throats clogged with weeps that waited patiently to break free inside your throats, hearts beating at the same pace, bound to each others’ without the promise of a ring.
“In all my years, I’ve found many things that make me happy in this life. But none of them compare to you.” The emotion of it all brought tears to his eyes, matching your glossy ones. “From the first moment I saw you, I was yours. Every day since, I fall deeper in love with you. I promise you, I will fight for our love until my last day on earth. I’ll work hard to keep a smile on your face, because no one can make me smile like you can. I’m so in love with you. I can’t wait to grow old with you. To grow a family. To spend the rest of our lives by each other's side. The good and the bad.”
Your hand covered your mouth, but he saw the smile reach your eyes, trails from your crying running down each finger. You sniffled into your palm, Kylian's beaming and hopeful smile radiating brighter than any sunset ever has.
He flipped open the box, still fixated on only you, and you only him. “You’re the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life.” His voice cracked as the words escaped him, speaking directly from the deepest part of his soul. “Will you marry me?”
You clutched your heart once more and stumbled toward Kylian, getting down on your own knees to be at his level. You grabbed his face softly, staring into his sparkling irises, giggling happily through the tears, wiping his own with your thumbs.
“Yes!” You rejoiced, words laced in pure honey, kissing his lips aimlessly. “Of course I’ll marry you, Kylian.”
You wrap your arms around his neck, both your faces fitting delightfully in the crooks of each other's necks, wetting the skin with the endless waterfalls that fell freely.
You pulled back, kissing him once more. He kept his head close to yours as you both finally looked down at the ring inside the box.
“Oh my god, Ky.” You gasped, allowing him to take your left hand in his. “It’s gorgeous.”
His eyes wrinkled at the corners as he kissed your ring finger before sliding on the band, fitting perfectly.
“They’re the same diamonds.” He explained, referring to your first engagement ring while you took in every detail of your newest and most permanent piece of jewelry. “It didn’t feel right to give you the same ring but I couldn’t get rid of it, so...” 
He had spent months with a designer figuring out the different cuts and bands to symbolize a second beginning for an eternity with you.
“It’s perfect.”
You both stood together, heads leaning into each other until the trees turned to shadows. The moon's faint blue light provided no guidance for finding your way back to the car, yet neither of you grew any concern over it, finding security in entwined fingers and shared laughter.
Seven years later
“I’m definitely balding.” Kylians voice echoed from the hallway over the soft music playing.
You shake your head with a chuckle, arms tired from rolling and kneading a ball of dough. “No you’re not. You’ve been looking at the back of your head too much, hun.”
He saunters into the kitchen holding his phone out at arms length toward you. “Look.” You stare at his screen displaying an awkwardly self-taken picture of the crown of his head, only slightly less hair on the top than a couple years ago. “See?”
You shrug at him as he continues to analyze the image, pinching it to zoom in. “I think the back of your head looks just as handsome as the day I met you.”
He clicks his tongue, setting the phone down as if that’ll make him stop thinking about his inevitable aging. Kylian leans against the counter next to you, obviously eyeing the strawberries you’d just washed inside a bowl in the sink.
“Nuh-uh. Don’t even think about it.” You read his intentions, Kylian being a notorious and shameless ingredient thief.
A playful smirk found its way to his lips as his hand inched closer to the pile of fruit, watching and waiting for the reaction that he craved to get from you.
“Kylian…” You warned in a whiney tone as he snatched one by the stem, bringing it to his grinning lips. He made a whole show of taking a bite of it, humming and closing his eyes like it’s the best thing he had ever tasted, even rubbing his belly comically for dramatic effect. You sigh, biting back a grin that would only fuel his shenanigans. “I’m gonna have to start putting out decoy ingredients covered in hot sauce, or something.”
He smiles wider, showing off the creases in his face that are now permanent. Though he felt insecure at times about his aging skin that portrayed wrinkles even in his most relaxed state, you couldn’t love them more — a souvenir from decades of laughing and happiness. Proof of a joyous life. It’d formed your semi-new habit of kissing the crows feet at the corners of his eyes, loving how it made them more prominent as he’d grin at the simple act of adoration.
Kylian extends the other half of his bitten fruit to your mouth, feeding you the rest of the strawberry, feeling your lips brush against the pads of his fingers.
You hummed at the sweet juice, savoring the flavor. “I don’t know how your mom’s strawberries always taste so perfect.”
“I’m pretty sure she gives us the best ones.”
“She’s so cute.” You praise, washing the flour off your hands. “When are they getting here, again?”
Kylian looks at his watch. “Uh, like seven, I think.”
You nod, seeing that you’re cutting it close on timing to finish the tart, but it should give it enough time to chill once the crust is cooled off. Kylian made himself a snack as you put the crust in the oven, immediately beginning the clean up of the mess you've made with a big sigh.
While munching on a sandwich, your husband helped you by putting away the refrigerated items. You’d gotten used to the little things after all these years, like him cleaning the kitchen with you. He hated cleaning but simple things like that show love and respect. He never expected gratitude when he did these things, but you always showed him anyway.
Sometimes, you'd get to thinking about all the small acts like those that add up to keep you both feeling like equals in the relationship. Your heart just fills up, usually leading to you roughly grabbing Ky’s face and smushing your lips to his cheek, dramatically smacking loud kisses onto him with a flooding wave of appreciation for your significant other. It’d take him by surprise at the most random of times, but looked forward to your next smooch attack every time. When you’d get to looking at him for too long, sentiments you’ve collected through the years take over your brain like wildfire, needing to express your love in some physical manner before you explode. 
Kylian’s more immediate with his affections. He’d have one thought and would have to share it with you that instant. Ranging from easy compliments when he’d wake up before you, claiming “I love your nose” from the deepest part of his soul; to “you’re really turning me on right now” when you ran your hands down his chest post-shoulder rub after his training. His affections poured out of him into you.
You hummed along to the music mindlessly, songs you haven’t heard in years shuffled on your mass playlist. The beat had your hips moving and head bobbing as you began wiping down the counter, but you found yourself grinning down at the marble when the soft piano began to play through the speaker.
“I haven’t listened to this in forever.” You mumbled, not looking up to see your husband trying to contain his smile behind you at the familiar and lovely tune. 
Kylian pressed two warm hands at your hips, kissing your cheek from behind you. “Me neither.” He slowly swayed your movements to sync with his, moving his hands to wrap around your stomach loosely. “You know, I almost cried when we danced to this at our wedding.”
“Yes, I know.” You giggle, collecting some crumbs on your hand and tossing them in the sink next to you, wiping your palms with a rag. “You’re a big softie.”
Though the version you had at the wedding was much different than the original, the words still rang true. The lyrics to La Vie en Rose begin to take over the kitchen.
“Des yeux qui font baisser les miens, un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche. Voilà le portrait sans retouches de l'homme auquel j'appartiens” A gaze that makes me lower my own, a laugh that is lost on his lips. That is the un-retouched portrait of the man to whom I belong.
“Dance with me.” He whispers, stretching his fingers over the material of your shirt.
You chuckle like a schoolgirl, looking down to try and hide your love-struck timidness. “You’re so cheesy, Ky.”
“I don’t care.” He walks your bodies away from the counter, turning you around to show you his dimpled face, looking absolutely content to just be there with you. “I want to dance with my beautiful wife.”
You gaze up at him like he hung the moon, already over yourself as you wrap your arms around his neck, letting him pull you close by the small of your back.
“Quand il me prend dans ses bras, qu'il me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en rose. Il me dit des mots d'amour. Des mots de tous les jours, mais moi, ça me fait quelque chose.” When he takes me into his arms, He speaks to me softly, I see the world through rose-colored glasses. He speaks words of love to me. They are everyday words, but they do something to me.
He touches his forehead to yours, closing his eyes just for a second before lending them back to you. The eyes that made you feel seen so many years ago are making you feel seen, still. 
Some fights and rough patches you thought you could never get over… but you could. You did. Sure, time heals all wounds and all, but earning forgiveness takes a lot out of a relationship. Both of you had to set aside your own agendas and get over useless spurts of bitterness, grudges; forcing yourself to put aside your pride because your heart just can’t go on without the other. Love isn’t about forgetting mistakes, but growing past them together. Love is about mutual respect and security. Having a companion through it all. It’s about commitment and feeling safe in that commitment. Allowing them to see the lowest lows and trusting that they’re right there with you. 
“Il est entré dans mon cœur. Une grande part de bonheur, dont je connais la cause. C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie.” A bit of happiness that I know the cause of. It's only him for me, and for me, only him, for life. He told me, he swore to me, for life. 
You nuzzled your face into his chest, letting your arms wrap completely around him as he did the same. To be loved by him was fulfilling and exhilarating and placid and right. The feeling of your family home, familiar in ways you can't describe but can only experience through the nostalgia of fond memories. 
You didn’t even need to say the words anymore. You both just knew. Always. 
The song ends and Kylian pulls his head into the crook of your neck, needing to feel the crinkle of your skin when he places his kiss there, smiling dopily when he gets his wish. “Mon coeur.” My heart. His breath tickles you more when he whispers into you, but you just hug him tighter, feeling your devotion for him heighten in every nerve in your body.
You scratch your fingernail on the spot you have been for over a decade. The reaction not as prominent anymore. Not as it was when you were only a young couple, but it meant more to both of you than just a reaction. It was a form of saying I love you, that you know him just as he knows you, that your affection for him still lives in you just as strong as your fidelity. 
He puffs out some air with his giggle, feathering your neck again with the sudden gust as he pulled back just to take another look at you, brushing his nose with yours. 
He places his hands on your stomach once more, looking down at them as he caressed the tiny forming bump. “Number two can’t get here fast enough.”
“You can’t call it number two when they're born.” You say, voice soft to match his. “Especially not around Meline. She already has only child syndrome and she’s barely three.”
“My baby Meli is perfect.” He defends instantly. 
You shake your head, pulling away from his warm embrace. “That girl really has you wrapped around her tiny little finger.”
“She got that from you, didn’t she?” He always knew how to make you blush, even after all this time.
Kylian was head over heels for his daughter. They were attached at the hip, similar in so many ways that it frightened you. She looked just like him despite everyone saying she got your nose and smile. It was the eyes. The dark chocolaty brown, the deep set almond shape that caught the attention of anyone in their line of vision. You knew you were in trouble when you caught the first glimpse of them after she was born, already finding it difficult to say no to Kylian when he’d bat his lashes at you. Now there were two of them, getting away with their tomfoolery like masterminds, abusing their built in god-given charm. 
A nice shower and some quick tidying up later, you realized that your crust was fully cooled and you hadn't even started on the filling yet. It sat on a rack that you eyed as you finished off the pear salad. 
It’s any second now until Fayza and Wilfried arrive with Ethan to bring Meline back home. It was nice that she got to spend so much time with her grandparents. They’d pick her up in the morning and drop her off at night, sometimes she’d beg to stay at her pépé and mamis house.
Planting roots in Paris was the best decision you both could have made for your family. Kylian had explored different teams, different cities, but when you found out you were pregnant the first time around, Kylian made sure that the family had a steady base under their feet.
Kylian was marinating the chicken thighs as the grill out on the patio warmed up. You giggled as you watched him through the window, sporadically swatting at a bee that buzzed around him. It kept coming back for as long as he was out there, visibly spooking and frustrating him when it got too close to his ears.
“Stupid bee.” Kylian mumbled under his breath as he walked back in, tongs in one hand, a dirty dish in the other.
“Hello!” You hear Ethan's familiar voice bounce through the home, three sets footsteps clicking closer until the family appeared in the kitchen. Meline squealed when she saw you two, wiggling out of Ethan's arms as she reached out as far as she could for one of you to take her. 
“Mon canard!” My duckling! Kylian cooed out her nickname as he clattered the dishes in the sink to whisk her out of his brother's arms, kissing her cheek repetitively as she giggled.
You greeted your in-laws and Ethan with big smiles and hugs, taking Mel's overnight bag from Fayza. “Was she good today?” You ask as you lean over to Kylian to plant a big smooch on your daughter's chubby little hand. “Were you good for pépé and mami?” You direct it playfully at the toddler.
“I was! I pwomise!” Mel claims almost defensively, balling Kylian's grilling apron into her small fist. Everyone giggles at her. She immediately won everyone over, bringing a bright light of joy to any room she was in. “Me an’ Teetin even did clean up time.” 
Teetin is what she calls Ethan. When she was first learning to talk, Ethan constantly crowded her, trying to make her say “Oncle Ethan” since she had referred to everyone else as some sort of coherent name for days at that point. One day, she blabbered “Teetin” and he went nuts, boasting about how he finally got her to say his name. Turns out, she was saying “teetee”, as in, she was teetee-ing her diaper while he held her on the sofa. The nickname stuck, though Kylian called him piss baby for the following month.
“Yes, she was an angel, as always.” Fayza confirmed, still making googly eyes at Meli. 
You set the table outside with the help of Fayza, serving iced tea and chatting with her. Kylian and Wilfried stood together by the grill and Ethan and Meline rolled around on the grass, your baby girl giggling so joyously it warmed your heart. 
Crap, the tart.
“I’ll be right back out.” You mumble to Fayza and speed walk back in, getting all the ingredients out to make the filling, pretending you’ll be okay if it doesn’t fully chill like it’s supposed to. You’ll just have to pretend you’re okay with the tart not being firm. It was a sudden frantic feeling that hit you as you stood alone in the kitchen, overwhelmed by the raw ingredients in front of you.
Kylian was posted up at the grill with his dad, talking football as usual when he felt a tug on his jeans. He looks down at his little girl with wide eyes.
“I have t’ go teetee.” She disclaims, bouncing slightly. 
“Okay, mon canard, let’s go.” He scoops her up in his arms, feeling like they should move fast after seeing her potty dance, a tell-tale sign she waited too long to ask. “Give the thighs another minute or two before you take them off.” He instructs his father, handing him the tongs before walking back inside.
She was off of diapers and was usually good at not having any accidents, but lord knows once that little girl gets distracted, tinkle time gets pushed to the back of her to-do list.
He walks past you in the kitchen, you give him a knowing look as he scurries into the bathroom, getting her on the toilet just as she began to fuss about not being able to hold it anymore. 
“Remember, Meli, let papa know as soon as you gotta teetee, ‘kay?” He reminds her as he holds her up to the sink so she can wash her own hands. 
“Okay.” She promises, but Kylian knows her well enough to deduct that this will still happen every day. Even if you ask her if she needs to go potty she’ll say no because it’s not about to burst out. 
Ky and Mel walk out of the bathroom hand in hand into the kitchen. You were almost frantically mixing together your ingredients, puffing hair out of your face. “Need some help, maman?” Kylian questions.
“Um,” you look around at the cluttered countertop. “yes, please. Can you slice these?”
Kylian smirks as you hand him the bowl of strawberries. “It’ll cost you one strawberry, mon amour.” You give him a warning look. “We’ll share it.” He points to his daughter making grabby hands at the fruit.
“Pick a small one.”
He did not. 
Kylian picked out the biggest one in there, making sure you were too distracted with mixing your concoction than on the cheeky pair. Kylian cut the berry, handing his daughter the bigger half as she sat on the counter, legs dangling down and swinging back and forth as she sucked on the sweet fruit. It was an effective distraction from begging Kylian to let her help with the slicing. No knives for her just yet.
Kylian saw the look on your face, brows furrowed. You seemed distraught as you added the jam into the bowl, hands almost shaking. “Relax, bebe. You okay?” 
“What? Oh, yeah. I’m good.” You fake smile. “Allll good over here.”
He raises his brows, not believing you at all. He wiped his hands and put Meline back on her own two feet, leaning down to her level. “Meli, baby, go show grandma your strawberry.” He whispers. She nods, running back through the open door to the patio. Kylian watches as she holds the strawberry up to his mother, a wash of pride taking over his body for his baby girl.
Then, he walks right next to you where you were beginning to sweat from the vicious manner of mixing. He places his hand over yours holding the spatula, taking it off of the utensil. 
“Kylian, come on. I have to finish this tart.” You whine, upset at him for making you stop. 
“Relax.” He soothes as you try and break free from his grip.
“I am relaxed.” You groan. “Just let me finish this tart.”
“Forget the tart. This isn't about the tart.” He points, effectively taking your attention away from your mixing bowl, though you weren't happy with him about it. “Tell me what’s wrong. What are you thinking right now?”
You sigh, rubbing your forehead as if it would clear your mind. “I think…” You stop, toying with his fingers as you look down at them. “I think I’m just a little freaked out about having another baby.”
Kylian hums, then goes quiet. You seemed so excited the first time you found out. He remembered how you jumped in his arms when the two lines showed up on the pregnancy test, how you’d already begun decorating their room, how many baby name books you’d gotten out of storage and kept on your nightstand. 
“Freaked out how?” He gently asks.
“I don’t know… just... yeah, just forget it." You grab the spatula again. "Because I really do have to finish this tart or else we won’t have dessert. It’s already going to suck because it won’t have time to cool and your mom always loves my desserts but this time she’ll hate it and I’ve been planning this since she gave us these strawberries but now it won’t even go how I thought it would. So, now, you’re all just gonna pretend to love it, but I know it's gonna be soggy and it won’t be firm and it’ll be embarrassing, so please. Just help me finish it quickly. Please.” You rant mindlessly, roughly folding the mixture together. 
Kylian's eyes are wide as he watches you. He had no idea you’d been carrying this worry about another baby but he’s seeing it simmer out of you, hoping you won’t blow your top completely. 
Slowly and silently, Kylian stands next to you once more, slicing the berries into slim pieces one by one. He lets the silence sit for a little to let you calm down and gather your actual thoughts before he speaks again.
“I’m a little freaked out, too.” 
You look up for only a second and look back down. “...You are?”
“Sure.” He shrugs like it’s nothing. “I mean, I'm excited, yes. But babies are a lot of work. Meli didn’t make it easy on us. Remember, she was such a night owl and wanted us with her all the time. She would literally cling onto us in the rocking chair to make sure we wouldn’t leave. Oh, and remember how scared of leaves she was for a couple of months? That sucked. Also balloons... God, that birthday party was a nightmare.” He recalled. These stories send a grin to your face as you wondered where the time went. She was so big and only getting bigger every day. Soon, she wouldn’t even need your help to reach things on the table or tying her shoes. 
“I can’t believe she’s three.” You sigh, tasting the filling and feeling your shoulders relax when you realized the consistency and taste was just right. Kylian finished slicing, now leaning against the counter to continue the conversation.
“She already told me what she wants for her next birthday.” He scoffed and you shook your head. Her third birthday was only last month. “A real life purple hippopotamus. But it has to be tiny enough for her to hold it.” You laugh at her request as you begin filling the crust. “She has a name for it already, too.”
“Oh, does she? I bet I can guess it. Monsieur purple hippo?” 
“Close.” He laughs. “Monsieur petite purple hippo.”
“That’s a mouthful, but very on brand for her.” You point out, scraping the last bits from the bowl. You begin to place the berry slices neatly on top of the tart, much calmer and relaxed. Your hands weren't even shaking anymore.
Kylian kissed your temple sweetly, helping you put the finishing layer on. “It’ll all work out. I promise. It’s scary, but nothing our family can’t handle.”
Your heart swells. He’s so right for you. The way he easily noticed and eased your racing mind made you focus on your left ring finger, feeling the weight of the bands that wrapped around it. They’ve been on for so many years that it just feels like part of your body, not uncommon to overlook their beauty or forget the promises they hold in your daily life. But it's simple moments like these that you remember the words engraved on them. Always pressed against your skin, never failing to stay close to you. Mon cœur t'appartient was the promise he’s kept for years, and you have as well. My heart is yours. 
Though you thought you messed up your dessert, you now look down at the finished product, and it’s perfect.
Dinner went long, caught up in conversations and hilarious stories that embarrassed Ethan and Kylian. You looked around at the family you’re a part of, physically feeling the love from every single one of the humans sitting under the dim shine of the string lights in the gazebo. With good food and better people, time slips too quickly. 
Life is short, moments graze by like a freight train passing a station. You never know what could happen tomorrow, the future is in no one's hands. Things can happen in the snap of a finger. You say your last goodbye without even knowing. You can wish to control the clock. You can wish that you could turn it back and do some things differently. You can wish you could jump forward and prepare for what’s to come. But all this wishing would do is drive you insane, because everyone lacks control when it comes to time. Appreciate the moment. Live in it. Dwelling on the negative will only comfort the pessimist that lives inside of you. Worrying about the future will only hold you back from the journey you take to get there.
So, for now, you sit sipping wine in front of empty plates while your daughter slowly falls asleep on your husband's shoulder, your mother in law's sweater drapes over your cold legs, the stars are left alone to shine brightly without a cloud in sight. Everything was just as it should be. Everything will be okay.
All this escaped time allowed for your dessert to chill. 
Finally, your tart was finished.
A/N: Officially the end of this fic, and if I do say so myself, it's satisfying. I had so much writers block through this so I'm sorry I haven't updated in over a week. I wanted to make sure this one was good after all the love that I got from this fic. Love you all so much! Thank's for reading!

Domesticated Freak
Eddie Munson
Tumblr media
Warning: 18+, sexual content. just smut and pure fluff. 
Masterlist
Song I recommend listening to as it’s mentioned in the story is Love Is Strange by Mickey & Sylvia
Also, credit to whoever made this edit ^ it wasn’t me. 
Your arms are aching and sweat drips down your back and your forehead, the heavy box is slowly slipping from your grip as you squeeze your way through the doorframe and trip over the small step that you haven’t become accustomed to yet. 
Strong hands grab your hips tightly and steady you then swiftly remove the large, cardboard box from your clutch “Nice one, smooth operator.” A wet kiss smacks against your cheek and Eddie’s flashing a bright smile at you, before sauntering off to add the box to the growing pile in the living room. 
“Well maybe if I had some help-”
He’s crossing the room in long, swift steps and his shirtless torso is glistening with sweat from the humid air. “Pardon me?” His curls tickle your cheek and shoulders as he growls and pretends to bite at your neck. “You know I had to get the record player set up. Priorities, toots.” And he’s smacking your bum as he scoots by you to head outside and continue unloading the moving truck. 
Day two of hauling boxes and it doesn’t even feel like you’ve made a dent in your progress. When this house made its debut on the market, Eddie jumped on it instantly claiming “this is the one” and “it just speaks to us.” He was greedy for a garage, and office and a basement and dead set on starting a proper life with you; building your own space with its own personality and all of the freedom that comes along with that. 
Plus, he’s a real handyman. A born homeowner. Constantly working on his van and busying himself with as many little projects as he could get his hands on. Truly restless, but in the most positive way imaginable. You didn’t know too many men who couldn’t wait to repair the lawnmower and mow the lawn but then again, there wasn’t a single person on earth like Eddie. 
A deep sigh escapes when you scan the room in front of you, it all looks so disorganised and overwhelming that you’re wishing everything would just unpack itself. You dig into a box to pull out a thin, paperback book to fan your face and start sifting through Eddie’s record collection. You hum when your fingers land on one of your favourite albums and your eyes close at the first couple of crackles and pops as the needle rests on the vinyl. 
Warm hands are burning against your thighs as they travel up your leg and under your shirt to smooth up your stomach, his chest is pressed firmly against your back and his sweat is soaking the fabric. “Nice unpacking tunes, baby. Told you I had my priorities straight.” And you’re crying out softly when he’s sinking his teeth into the tender spot on your neck. 
“Mmm, keep whining like that and I’ll have to take you right here on the floor.” 
You’re spinning in his grasp and throwing your arms around his neck. “That would be okay with me.” 
His eyes travel to your teeth sunken into your bottom lip then back up to your gorgeous eyes. “Could maybe use a break, yeah?” And his juicy lips are finding yours with a quiet murmur against your mouth. 
You’re squealing in surprise when Eddie is suddenly flopping to the plush carpeted floor and pulling you down on top of him. “Whoops.” He pulls your lap astride his lap. “I fell, baby. Can my nurse make me feel better?” His hips are pushing upward and forcing you forward as your chests meet. 
He rolls his hips into yours again and you sigh when you feel his swelling cock pressing against the fly of his pants. “Mm really hurtin’.” He runs his fingers through your hair and pulls you close to kiss you and slide his tongue along the crease of your lips. 
“Hmm, I dunno.” You’re whispering against his lips, “how bad are you hurting exactly?” 
He groans and squeezes his eyes shut before wailing exaggeratedly, “So bad, cure me please, you have the magic medicine.” You’re giggling when you start unbuttoning his pants and his faux frown turns changes to a delighted open-mouthed smile as he keeps his eyes gently closed. “Oh yes, mhmm, I think it’s working already.” He hisses when your hand dips into his briefs and his mouth drops open at the feeling of your smooth hand on his silky skin. 
He’s certain he will never tire of your face, your mind and your body, as he promised to love you until death do you part just a month ago - and he makes sure he tells you and shows you every. single. day. 
He swallows thickly and pulls you close to kiss you again and suddenly his humorous disposition is forgotten as it always is in these moments. “God yes,” his voice is croaked, “fuck me, baby.” And you’re moaning at his words as you pull his pants down to his knees and kick your shorts off across the room.
He’s pushing your panties aside and groaning when his thumb meets your wet core and circles your sensitivity a few times, “So ready for me,” and you’re holding him at your entrance. He’s pressing his tip against your opening and then spreading the dampness around before pushing his head inside and moving his hands to your hips to give you control. He whimpers as you slowly lower yourself along his length and rolls his head back against the lavish carpet. “Yes. Yes, fucking hell.” 
He’s never been shy to speak his feelings to you - especially when he’s in ecstasy. And sometimes his words. alone, couples with his provocative rasp, could make you come embarrassingly fast. Your hips rotate in circles when he’s completely buried to his base. He’s pulling you down so your chests meet and he’s bending his knees and lifting his hips to fuck into you slowly, full strokes completely in and out as he watches your face. 
“Talk to me.” 
You hum and kiss him before muttering, “You’re incredible. Feel so good inside of me. Faster please.” 
He nudges your chin up and licks your neck as he speeds up and increment. “Like that?” He’s teasing you to get you to speak to him. As much as he is vocal, he needs you to be as well. 
You lick your lips between breathy pants. “Fuck me fast and hard, Eddie. Make me come please.” 
He moans into your neck. “That’s it.” and his hips start pounding into you just how you asked. “What else?” His eyes are searching yours as he holds your wrists tightly together between your bodies. 
“Mmm... need your fingers.”
He sucks his thumb into his mouth and finds your swell immediately. “Anything for you, baby.” And he’s pressing in little figure eights until your start clamping down on his cocks and he whines before kissing you and exhales a puff of air against your cheek, “Say my name when you come.” 
Your thighs are tingling and your centre is pulsing as your orgasm builds and right before you fall off the edge of the cliff, you’re moaning his name against his lips and mumbling nonsense. When it hits you, Eddie pushes fully inside and pauses on a strained whimper before moving his hips faster and joining you in release with a tense cry followed by a drawn-out groan and rambling praises. 
You and Eddie were married after just over two years of dating. He knew that he wanted to marry you the instant he saw you in the crowd at one of his bands gigs. You stood out from everyone else in your large friend group; shiny hair, pearly teeth, flattering dress. 
Eddie had been backstage when he first noticed you. It wasn’t a large venue, 200 people at max, but his band were just gradually starting to get bigger at that point. He’s been in his band for ten years now, since he was fourteen. Only just in the year he met you did they finally start to blow up, getting the recognition they’d worked so hard for. He’s a brilliant lead guitarist. He’s also a very talented song writer. 
He asked a security guard to bring you backstage after the show ended and as soon as he saw your smile up close, heard you speak and smelled your shampoo, he was in love. You were drawn to his good looks right away: chocolate deep brown eyes that contrast his pale skin and long, regal curls that sweep past his shoulders. 
His sense of style is bold and suits his toned physique entirely; but what you love most about him is his kind nature, his humorous intelligence, and his playful inclination that hasn’t dulled or faded over time. 
He successfully made a name for himself in the music industry in these two short years, not only because of his talent, but because of his charismatic presence that puts even the most sought-after rockstars to shame. 
Heavy galloping footsteps paired with clicking nails on hardwood disturb your reverie. Eddie yelps and cover your tits with his palms as a massive pile of soft fur and wet licks invade your intimate recovery. You’re laughing hysterically and Eddie’s batting away and telling him to sit. 
Your dog is a little over a year old and you two adopted him together when he was a puppy. Eddie begged for a beagle, saying that they were his ultimate dream dog and he promised to do most of the work. He was unsurprisingly natural with Ozzy as a puppy; patient and loving, calm but firm. 
Ozzy is sitting obediently, tail wagging wildly as he watches Eddie for instruction as to what to do next. 
“Your instinct was to cover my boobs?” 
He shrugs. “I had to protect the precious treasure.” 
You’re giggling as you roll off of him and gather your clothes. When you look over your shoulder, Eddie’s got his pants pulled up and he’s tenderly stroking behind your dog’s ear and talking lowly to him. You can hear him say something along the lines of “not the best timing, oz,” and “still love you though.” 
You post coital bliss comes to a screeching halt with one reminding glance around your new home and a seemingly endless sea of boxes and displaced furniture. Eddie hears you grumble and he’s on his feet and at your side straight away. “Hey.” His lips bump your ear and his fingers dig into your shoulders. “We’re gonna work together and make his home perfect for us. It’ll be ready in no time. We’re gonna be so happy here, okay?” He’s kissing your cheek, your temple and your neck. “I love you.” You’re repeating the passionate phrase back to him as your turn to face him and find him regarding you freely with a gentle smile. “Plus we have lots of other rooms to christen.” 
You both work for hours that day, moving boxes, unpacking, rearranging furniture. You’re distracted by Eddie’s shirtless torso dripping with beads of sweat as you carry a couch across the room as slide it against the wall. 
Your body flops onto the cantaloupe leather as you scan the room: half hardwood and half cream-coloured high pile carpet, your collection of mismatched furniture filling the space in a way that makes you relax into the couch a bit. 
Your attention is diverted when Eddie clears his throat, you’re glancing at him with a raised eyebrow, “yes?” He gestures over his torso and now you’re even more confused. “What?” 
He gestures again and speaks in an obvious tone, “um, sweaty man candy right here in front of you. What’s so great about the rug?” You’re giggling and swatting at him, but he grabs your hand and pulls you to your feet so that your chests then your noses bump. “I think we need a break.” 
He’s kissing you and you’re smiling too hard to kiss him back properly. “Another one?” He winks and squeezes your hand as he backs up; when he can’t stretch your arms any farther, he reluctantly drops then as he turns and walks to the turntable. 
You’re tapping your foot in anticipation, but when you hear the first chords of “Love Is Strange”, you’re throwing your head back in laughter. “No!” But he’s grabbing your hand and spinning you away from him and back in. “Eddie!” 
He pulls your body close to his and bites his bottom lip so hard that his dimple pops. He’s trying not to smile but failing miserably. You give up struggling because you know you’ll never win the battle and when you start dancing just as silly as he is, it only eggs him on with a satisfied cackle, “Gotcha!” 
He’s running in place and swinging his bent arms at his sides and you’re laughing so hard you can barely coordinate your limbs. The song is over too quickly and his arms are around your waist; he’s blowing a wet raspberry into your neck and you’re squeaking in his ear. 
“Let me make you dinner.” He spins you in the direction of the kitchen and slaps your bum lightly. 
“With what food exactly?” 
He taps his chin with the tip of his finger. “Oh, good call. How about a ride in the van, baby?” 
He’s wiggling his eyebrows at you as you nod enthusiastically and he’s scooping you up into his arms and running out the front door. “Eddie, don’t you think you should go get a shirt?” And then he’s spinning back on his heel and running back inside to grab his loose band tee before turning around and running back to his van in the driveway. 
Your feet find the ground as you hear the click and groan from the metal door. Eddie holds the passenger entry open for you with a bow to his head. You giggle and curtsy. “Thank you.” 
He watches your legs and ass when you climb in and wolf whistles before shutting the door behind you and leaning through the open window. “Kiss?” 
You’re hissing from the burn of the hot leather on your bare legs before sitting on your knees and resting your forearms on the window to fulfil his request. His kiss is heated with commitment and you’re sighing into his rosy lips. 
“How’s pizza sound?” 
You sit back with a pant and nod, “popsicles too?” 
He pinches your cheek with a click of his tongue against his teeth, “decent.” And he’s jogging around to his side of the van and clambering in to start the engine with a low roar. 
________
If you enjoy please let me know! Then I will continue with multiple parts to this particular storyline. Otherwise, requests are open as well for more specific stories you’d like to read - about either Eddie or Joseph. :)

Handyman
Tumblr media
I know I should've probably called the ambulance or something when I found the handyman we had hired out cold on the bathroom floor. But I've always been an opportunist. Since he was unconscious, it made it really easy for me to just push myself into his body and slip in.
Turns out he was absolutely ripped underneath that flannel shirt! My boyfriend's going to have a great time with these abs and this handsome face…
In fact, I might just pretend to be the handyman when he comes home, making him none the wiser why I'm working shirtless or letting my jeans slowly slip off. Pants that will reveal my perfect bubble butt in a super tight speedo!
Hopefully the handyman won't mind us keeping his body to play around with for a while, although he doesn't have much of a choice…
He'll just wake up a few days after, with a pounding headache, an incredibly sore ass, and wearing a skintight speedo. But most of all, he'll discover that there's a bunch of homemade sex videos on the Web now, with him being the star of them all!

In the Cold
yeonjun x reader smut
warnings: fingering, unprotected sex
words: 1k
You looked outside of the window, the snow piling on top of cars, roofs, and anywhere else it could get its grip on. It was a beautiful sight, really, but of course it came with the bitter cold that just had to sneak into your apartment. It's even worse because of the fact that your heater couldn't be turned up any further, for it could completely break. You were still waiting for the handyman to come fix it, but in the meantime, you had to deal with the chilly air in your home.
You sighed, waddling back to bed, your feet quickly moving because fo the cold floor. You joined Yeonjun in the bed, where he was mindlessly scrolling around on his phone. You got under the covers, making sure to cover every inch of your body with warmth. You looked over to Yeonjun, confused at him being shirtless and not under the covers.
"Are you not cold?" You asked him, brows furrowed.
"No, not really." He shrugged. "This temperature is perfect."
"Must be because of your abnormally hot body temperature." You said, shuffling closer to him so you could stick your arm out and press your body to him. As usual, he was warm and comfy. "I'm freezing."
He chuckled, moving to rub your arms to generate warmth. "You're so cute. Want me to warm you up, baby?" His hands gradually moved lower until they reached your behind, an he rubbed there, making you giggle.
"What are you doing, Yeonjun?"
"I'm warming you up." He said, and you could see a hint of mischievousness in his eyes. He moved down to start placing kisses on your neck, his hands not leaving your behind.
"So, how do you plan on warming me up?" You asked, already kind of knowing the answer to that question, it making your insides warm up already.
"You'll see..." He chuckled. He groped your ass, making you slightly gasp, and he got on top of you, spreading your legs for him to place himself in between. "You'll be sweating in no time." He inched his fingers down to the border of your underwear, teasing the skin there for a bit before dipping his hand underneath. His cool fingers met up with your folds as he gently caressed them. "Oh?" He lifted an eyebrow, smirking at you. "You're already so wet, baby. All for me?"
You nodded, biting your lip as he moved his fingers to your clit, rubbing circles around it. You moaned quietly, the feeling of his experienced fingers already becoming too pleasurable. He dipped two fingers into your entrance, thrusting them deep enough to his knuckles. You moaned loudly, grasping his wrist once he started pumping them in and out of you, immediately going for your sweet spot.
"That feel good, baby? Hm?" He whispered in your ear, and you nodded frantically. "I gotta get you all stretched out and ready for my cock."
At the thought of his cock filling you up, you clenched tightly around his fingers. He groaned, thinking about filling you up just as much as you were thinking about him.
"You could barely take my fingers," He said. "You're so tight, I don't think you'd be able to take my cock."
"N-No, I can!" You quickly said. "I can take your cock, Junnie, please!"
"Yeah? Is that right?" The movement of his fingers in your pussy stopped as he removed them. He lifted his wet fingers up to is face, putting them in his mouth for a taste. He shut his eyes and moaned, the erotic image making your pupils dialate. "You always taste so good, baby." He said before he pushes himself up on his knees, untying the knot around his sweatpants. You watched with excitement, seeing him pull his sweatpants down, noticing that he wasn't wearing underwear. His hard cock sprung up from its confines, pink at the tip and leaking precum. You clenched around nothing, wanting nothing more than for him to fill you up already. He must've wanted the same, because he lowered his hips down to yours, slipping his cock in with ease thanks to your dripping wetness. He groaned, his eyes shutting at the feeling. "Fuck, baby, you're so tight."
You brought your hands up his arms, feeling up on his muscles that worked so hard to pleasure you. Your nails dug into them as he started to thrust into you, the sounds of your wetness already filling the room. He went at a steady pace, savoring the feeling of being inside your warm, wet cavern. You relished in listening to his soft groans as he took you, and you could even feel yourself get wetter with each thrust.
He gradually became faster, thrusting into you with deep thrusts that had you seeing stars. You held on tightly to his back, no doubt making marks as your nails dug deep into him. Your moans were so erotic and like music to his ears, motivating him to go harder just to get more out of you. You felt your orgasm start to approach and you wrapped your legs around his waist, almost as if to tell him not to go anywhere. He could tell you were close, and he wanted nothing more than to see sweet release on your beautiful features, so he reached his hand down between you two, rubbing your clit roughly.
"Y-Yeonjun, I'm gonna cum!" You moaned loudly, taking each deep thrust he gave you.
"C'mon baby, cum," He said. "Cream all over my cock."
All it took was a few more thrusts for you to finally let go, your back arching off the bed and your eyes rolling to the back of your head. You clenched impossibly tightly around Yeonjun's cock, making him groan loudly before he filled you up, his cum coating your inner walls with white.
You two breathed heavily, basking in your post orgasm glow. Yeonjun groaned once more as he collapsed on top of you, gently caressing your waist.
"Are you cold now?" He asked, chuckling.
"After that, I think we might need to completely turn the heat off."

cid’s great bc u could be thinking to urself hmmm i need to redo the wooden patio and then not mention it and he would somehow pick up the psychic aether waves and have it done by the next morning and you’d find him shirtless having his morning cigar and ur coffee ready just the way u like it
OH MY GOSH CID BEING A FUCKING BUILDER HUSBAND IS SO LIFE-CHANGING HOW DIDNT I THINK OF THIS BEFORE
Your big strong husband who has a garage filled to the brim with so many hardware supplies it’d make a Home Depot look like a dollar store. Nails, wood, metal, if it can be hammered or drilled Cid’s got it.
Handyman!Cid who notices you’ve been watching home renovation videos recently, and you keep cycling back to this one video with a giant outdoor hammock.
He knows the look in your eyes every time you rewatch it, playing it when you think he’s not looking only to sigh in resignation. Too large, too expensive, you can’t justify making a purchase that big for something so unnecessary but he’ll be damned if he lets his wife suffer in silence.
So for the next month Cid’s holed up in his garage—not an uncommon sight, but what’s got your eyebrow raising is the fact that he wants you nowhere near his workstation. Normally he’d be more than happy to let you watch him work, but he seems extra secretive about whatever it is he’s got cooking in there, so you leave him be. When he’s finished he brings you out to the backyard for a surprise.

Caught (Extended)
(( An extended version/different perspective of the ‘Little Moment’ I wrote titled ‘Caught’. It’s been a long time since I sort of dove in to how nasty and controlling I feel Gene can be, particularly towards Felix, who doesn’t know how to handle it. This has potential to be a multi-part fic, but we shall see! )) -----
“Has anyone seen Felix?” Gene raised his tiny arms in exasperation. The Nicelanders bustling around him shook their heads and shrugged.
“Oh I’m sure he’ll turn up soon! Don’t you worry,” Mary plastered on a smile, carrying a freshly baked pie.
“No, something is wrong. I can feel it,” the mayor wiggled his mustache after polishing off his morning martini. “I’m going to check on him.”
Gene had knocked a total of three times on the superintendent’s apartment door, which was uncharacteristically locked. Luckily for him, as the landlord, he had a copy of the keys. Flipping through his ring, he inserted the correct key into the knob and opened the door to a quiet living room.
“Felix?” Gene huffed as he searched the area. His eyes narrowed as he turned to the closed door into the handyman’s bedroom. Determined to get to the bottom of things, the tiny man burst in through the door, his anger growing when he spotted a sleeping lump in the bed.
“Felix!” he shouted. “What’s gotten into you? The arcade opens in five minutes!”
The handyman shot up, shirtless, slowly followed by a second figure; a tall, blonde woman with hardly anything on.
“What the—Who the?!” The mayor could barely string words together, his face turning red.
“Gene!” Felix squeaked, hopping off the mattress, just in his boxers as he attempted to usher the Nicelander out the door. “Please! Let Miss Calhoun and I get decent!”
“You?!” Gene remembered that name, having briefly met the sergeant at a party a week ago. He’d hardly recognized her without all that ghastly armor on.
“Nice of you to remember me,” Tamora smirked over her shoulder, pulling up her camo pants.
“Her?!” the mayor spat at Felix. The handyman’s face soured and he pushed Gene through the bedroom door, locking it.
Felix's face glowed bright red as he turned around to face his lady. Grabbing two fistfuls of his light brown hair, he let out a long, tapered whine as he suppressed a scream.
“I knew this would happen,” he berated himself. “I mean, I didn’t know. But I did.”
“Deep breaths, Fix-It.”
“How are you so calm?” the 8-bit was beside himself. “You were half naked in front of a strange man!”
“Being one of the very few women in the corps, you get desensitized to that pretty quickly,” Tamora explained. “Sorry to tell you, but you’re far from the only man I’ve ever undressed in front of. Besides, who cares what that little squeaker toy thinks?”
“I do!” the handyman lamented as he pulled up his jeans. “Tammy, I live with these people. I work with them and for them every single day. For thirty years I’ve been their perfect, dedicated and trustworthy hero. And now that pretty picture they’ve painted of me will forever be tarnished…”
“You sure know how to make a girl feel special,” the sergeant quipped.
“I’m serious, Tammy,” Felix whimpered. “You don’t know what they can be like, how Gene can be when he disapproves…”
Tamora’s wry smile withered, but before she could reach out a fevered knocking rapped at the handyman’s door.
“Three minutes!” Gene shouted from the other side.
“Save yourself, my lady,” Felix whispered, throwing open his window that led out to the fire escape. Handing the sergeant her cruiser as she ducked through the opening, he gave a quick peck on the cheek. “I’ll see you at quittin’ time.”
“I’ll be waiting,” she smiled, grasping his white shirt collar to give the handyman a proper parting kiss. He couldn’t help the pang of uncertainty as she took off.
Turning around, Felix grabbed his work shirt, slipping it on before thrusting open his bedroom door.
“Uh-huh,” Gene huffed, zoning in on the open window behind the hero. “Sneaking off like a two-bit criminal. You sure know how to pick ‘em.”
“Do I?” Felix spoke impassively, brushing past the mayor and finishing buttoning up his uniform.
“Oh you sure do,” Gene insisted, shadowing the handyman as he walked to the entryway where his toolbelt hung on the wall. “First Pauline, and now…this woman!”
“Tamora,” Felix corrected, exiting the apartment with the mayor at his heels. “And as I recall, you all did the matchmaking when it came to Pauline and I…”
“Biggest mistake I ever made,” Gene huffed, bumping into the handyman when he turned around.
“Can I remind you that the major problem you had with Pauline is that she had an amicable relationship with Donkey Kong, and advocated the concept that ‘good’ and ‘bad’ went beyond our programming? And now we all know that she was right.”
His point made, Felix continued down the hall and to the stairwell, ignoring the tenants that peeked out of their apartments curiously as the arguing pair strolled by.
“She was a troublemaker, and a bad influence,” Gene huffed, trying to keep up with the handyman as they descended. “And clearly this Tamora is no different.”
“I’m starting to think that you just don’t want me to be happy,” Felix said in an eerily calm tone.
“That’s ridiculous. We just want the best for you. We’ve done nothing but love and support you all these years!”  
A pit formed in the handyman’s stomach, all too familiar with his turning point in their arguments. Face flushing and heart beat rising, Felix wished for an escape as he burst through the double doors to the outside. Tucking in his shirt and pulling the rest of himself together, he made for his starting position.
“It’s always like this with you,” Gene wagged a stubby finger, barking at the handyman’s ankles still. “One little thing doesn’t go your way, you act like a petulant child!
Felix stood on his mark, brows furrowed and heart crumbling.
“Arcade’s opening,” he murmured, hesitant to say more. He unconsciously held his breath until the mayor left his side to enter the building. Letting it out with a shaky exhale, the handyman steeled himself, eager to get through the day…
“Uh, hey–” a welcomed voice approached gently.
“Ralph,” Felix spun around, struggling to tamp down his agitation as he put on his gloves. “Do me a favor and please throw our dear mayor as hard and as far as you can today.” He took a moment to look up into his friend’s wide, unblinking eyes. “Just chuck him, please.”

Heather got to the bar a few minutes before Adrian, so she ordered herself a nice chilled, light white wine. Heather reflected that she really enjoyed this respite as Adrian came up behind her. Apparently, a crowd had followed Adrian as the area quickly filled up. Adrian moved off to the dance floor, and a familiar face slid into the seat she had occupied.
"Hey, mind if I take this seat? It's Heather, right?" Heather turned to see the handsome, shirtless man from the equestrian center earlier. Only he wasn't shirtless now but he was still just as handsome.
Heather stammered, "Uh... yeah... yes, it's free. It's nice to see you again. Elliot, right? Despite her profession, Heather was uneasy talking to strangers about anything of substance, but Elliot was easy to talk to and the two hit it off. Heather discovered that he was a handyman type, but he really loved woodworking. Originally from New Orleans, he loved the simple life he'd created for himself in Chestnut Ridge, but he missed the charm of New Orleans.
Adrian stayed close enough to monitor Heather, but she was proud that her friend was talking to someone outside of her circle. She loved Heather, but no one could claim that Heather was an extrovert. Sure, she put on a good show but interacting with people could be draining for her friend. Adrian smiled as she saw Heather become more relaxed. Adrian smiled to herself as she heard Heather flirting with the handsome local. Adrian quietly disappeared as the pair moved to the dance floor. She couldn't wait to hear everything tomorrow. Breakfast could not come soon enough!

TK turns around when the cart enters the room and looks up to find a cover model for Queer Handyman. They guy is like a goddamn dream. First of all, he’s shirtless. His bronze skin shines from the dark curls on the top of his head to the happy trail just above his dark jeans. His muscular arms go on for miles and end in large hands that grip the side of the cart with long fingers. TK can’t help but gawk at the man’s pecs, his abs and those hips that jut out of his low waistband. But it doesn’t stop there. Jesus, this guy could probably incapacitate criminals with just his thigh muscles. His jeans taper down into dark blue Nike running shoes, which are the only clue that he’s a real person here to work. If this was a photo shoot he’d be barefoot. And the cart would be full of puppies. Still, it’s all TK can do to keep from walking over to poke him and see if the cardboard cutout falls down or the hologram disappears. This is the cop who prepared the room?
