I Got Everything I wanted...

Episode 1: Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience...

Pairing: Vision x Male Reader

Taglist: N/A

‼️Authors Note‼️: I'm finally at a point where I can write this story. I know that It is long overdue, so I hope this can make up for it. This story is going to be breaking the 4th wall a lot since they tend to do that in the actual show. Also, please let me know in my Inbox/Askbox if you would like to be tagged every time I upload a story to this series. While reading this, you may realize that it seems rushed, and that's because it was. I wanted to put this out as soon as I possibly could. Also since you guys voted that I just divide it up into parts for you to read. I will be uploading part 2 whenever I am able to.

Summary: (Male Name) and Vision struggle to conceal their powers during dinner with Vision's boss and his wife

Time Period: 1956 (So everything in this chapter is going to be colorless and in black and white)

Have you ever dreamed of living the life you always wanted? Have you ever dreamed of something so bad to the point where you would do anything to get it. Have you ever dreamed of something so bad to the point where all of your care for others went out the window? Have you ever dreamed of wanting something so bad to the point where you would stop anyone who gets in your way.

"(Male Name), I love you so much. Please don't do this, cant you see that everyone is hurting, that everyone is in so much pain?"

"I'm sorry Vision, but I can't. I can't loose you...not again. I never meant for things to be this way, but now I can't go back. Not without you"

---REWIND MANY EPISODES BACK---

For a second, everything is black. The TV clicks on and a burst of grey static illuminates the screen. Everything is black and white, not a single drop of color is in the area. A happily little tune starts playing as a colorless 1956 Buick Special drives up a tiny hill and back down past a sign which says 'Speed Limit 35'. The camera angle changes to the back of the car, showing a banner above the license plate, 'Just Married'. Next, the camera cuts to us, (Male Name) and Vision, newlywed husbands.

It finally happened, we finally got married! Both of us turn take a quick look and smile at each other with nothing but love and glee, it seemed like nothing could go wrong in this moment.

🎵Oh~

A newlywed couple just moved into town,

A regular husband and husband,🎵

Vision turns his head back to the road and continues driving until we turn down a happy little neighborhood. Each house on the street has a pattern of different color greys with black roofs, their yards decorated with equally bland colorless flowers and grass. Children playing outside, and adults chatting with one another while they tend to their gardens, or while walking their dogs. Everyone is just so cheery and happy, even the mailman waves at us as we pass him. Everything is exactly the way it's supposed to be, perfect.

🎵Who left the big city,

To find a quiet life,

(Male Name)Vision!🎵

Vision drives into the driveway of our new home. We quickly hop out of the car and approach the house, but before we walk in I take notice of the 'For Sale' sign still in the yard. I quickly flick my hand and use my magic to change the sign to 'Sold'. After that I dust my hands off with a proud smile on my face as Vision scoops me in his arms bridal style, opens the front door, and carries me inside. I flick my wrist again and the front door closes and locks as we both move to the Livingroom of our already decorated 2 story home.

🎵He's a magical boy,

In a small town locale

And a hubby who's part machine,

How will this duo fit in and pull through?🎵

Once Vision puts me back on my feet, we start swaying with the jingle playing in the background while title cards pop up of written words that I don't care to read right now since I'm too busy enjoying this happy moment with my new husband. Vision then gives me a little twirl before wrapping his arms around my waist as we both dip into a loving heartfelt kiss.

🎵Oh, by sharing a love,

Like you've never seen

(Male Name)Vision!🎵

---SCENE CHANGE---

The scene suddenly changes as the lights flick on and cameras start rolling. You start the scene off by walking into the kitchen and start making your way to one of the grey drawers next to the oven and you grab one of your favorite aprons. Humming a little tune, you wrap the white cloth around your waist and start observing the kitchen to see what needs to be picked up or cleaned. Deciding to work on putting up the dishes, you raise your hand and the newly cleaned plates start levitating off of the counters and float off to the display racks, you then raise your other hand and a dark colored dish cloth floats out of the cabinet and it begins drying a glass cup. You then turn your back to the cup to observe if it had been cleaned good enough, suddenly you jump as a loud crash echoes through out the kitchen. Turn to see what the problem is, you only to find Vision looking up from today's news paper and glances at the shattered plate at the ground while a laughing crown erupts out of nowhere.

"My husband and his flying saucers" He says in his thick English accent (or is it British🤔), with a joking tone.

"My husband and his indestructible head" I reply back in the same tone as another laugh erupts from the crowd.

He then folds his newspaper and walked over to your direction, giving you a kiss on the cheek when he arrived, causing you to chuckle while twirling your finger, making the plate form back to it's original round shape before it floats off to it's designated spot.

"Vision, honey, what do you say to silver dollar pancakes, crispy hash browns, bacon, eggs, freshly squeezed orang juice and black coffee?" You say while walking over to the refrigerator, opening it and bending down, getting ready to grab out everything needed to make the meal for him.

"I'd say 'Oh, I don't eat food' " He says smiling at me, while the crown laughs again.

You look inside the fridge and hum to yourself in surprise while putting all the pieces together in your head before saying "Well, that explains the empty refrigerator then"

"(Male Name), my darling. Is there something special about today?"

"Well, I know the apron is a bit much dear, but I'm doing my best to blend in and have the 'Perfect House Husband' look." You say walking to meet him, assuming he's talking about the apron.

"No no, you don't have to try, you already are the perfect house husband." He says as he lightly grabs your chin with his pointer finger and thumb and lightly giving you a 'boop' on the nose. "But I was referring to the calendar. Someone's drawn a heart right above today's date." You then looked at him as you cluelessly try to figure out what he's talking about, so he puts his hands on your shoulders and turns you around to face the calendar behind you and he rests his chin on your head as you both look at the heart.

Trying to act like you know what day it is, you say "Well...d..dont tell me you've forgotten Vis?"

"Oh silly (y/n), I'm incapable of forgetfulness. I remember everything. That's not an exaggeration. In fact, I'm even incapable of exaggeration" He rambles boastfully.

"Hmm, well then if that's true, then maybe you can tell me what's so important about today's date"

He pauses for a second and thinks before he blows a slow puff of air out of his mouth, then deciding on saying "Uhhh...what was the question again? Oh well, no matter, perhaps you've forgotten yourself"

"Me? Heavens, no, haha. I've been so looking forward to it."

You both have actually been looking forward to day. Today you are celebrating...The first time you...uhhh...have ever celebrated this occasion before. It's a special day indeed, perhaps an evening?...of great significance?...to you both, naturally.. obviously...exactly! Well done for the both of you.

You two ramble on for a few more minutes trying to drill the other into spilling on what was so special about today, but you two couldn't since you were both obviously unknowing about it, then Vision remembered something.

"Well, sorry darling, that's me off to work, then." Vison says fixing his grey suit jacket and grabbing his suitcase walking to the front door. You quickly grab his hat hanging on the coat rack and place it on his head, fixing it to make it look straight.

"Also don't forget-"

"(Male Name), my dear how many times do I have to tell you I don't forg- oh you mean my face right?"

You nod letting him know that was what you were getting at. The audience laughs again as he quickly shakes his head and his face and hands transform from cold metal to warm flesh. Vision then puts his palm to his face and pretends to blow you a kiss, while you play along and pretend to catch it and put it over your heart.

Once he leaves out the door, you lock it a return to the kitchen, and make your way to the calendar, chewing on your polished nails (if you don't want nail polish then skip that part) as you try to remember the symbolism of the heart. Not even a second later your thoughts get interrupted as a loud knock at the door startles you back to 'reality'.

Going to go see who it is, you push the door that separates the living room and the kitchen, closer to the knocking. You quickly open the door and see a woman with a dark plaid dress and a styled black hairdo holding a grey plant in a white pot.

"Oh hello, dear. I'm Agnes, your neighbor to the right. My right, not yours" She says in a sing-song tone as she uninvitedly makes her way into the house. The eruption of cackles echo as you look at her in confusion as to why she decided to step inside, but decided to keep a calm attitude and not say anything about it.

"Forgive me for not stopping by sooner to welcome you to the block. My mother-in-law was in town...so I wasn't!" she says laughing with the audience once more as her dress sways with her movements. She rushes the potted plant into your arms and you smile and take it as she makes her way into the living room to continue her snooping. "So what's your name? Where are you from? And most importantly how's your bridge game, hon?" She says not loosing a single breath, and of course not giving you time to answer in between questions.

"Umm...Well I'm (Male Name)" You say reaching your hand out to shake hers

"(Male Name)? Charmed!" She joyfully says and returns the gesture.

"Golly, you sure do settle fast! Yes sir you did indeed! Did you use a moving company?"

"Why I sure did. Those boxes don't move themselves." The audience laughs as your inside joke, because let's be honest, the boxes did move themselves since you used your magic to decorate everything. (Damn (Male Name), you really are a powerful sum' bitch)

'"So (Male Name), what's a single boy like you doing rattling around this big house?" She says siting on the couch.

You laugh to yourself and dreamily look at the finger your ring should be on that Vision gave you to claim you as his, (He liked it so he put a ring on it.....sorry...anyways) but paused as it wasn't there. That's not right, because you could have sworn that it was there when you created this rea-

"Oh no, I'm not single I-"

"Well I don't see a ring

"Well I can promise you, I am indeed married...To a man. A human one and tall too! A a matter of fact, he'll be home later tonight for a special occasion just the two of us." You say putting emphasis on 'occasion' with a wink.

"Oh is it somebody's birthday? A holiday?" Agnes questions bouncing up and down in the couch with her legs crossed like a 'proper lady'.

"Well, no and no"

"An anniversary then?"

"Ye-uhh...yes, Its our anniversary!" You shout, finally able to remember what that heart meant.

Agnes waves you over to come sit on the couch with her and you obey, sitting down she grabs and rests both sets of you two's clasped hands on your apron.

"Sooo...tell me, how many years" She asks letting out a little squeal.

"Well..uhhh..it...it uh feels like we've always been together"

"You lucky man-" She shakes her head remembering about her own husband "-the only way Ralph would remember our anniversary is if there was a beer names June 2nd." She chuckles as the audience laughs from nowhere again. "So what do you have planned?"

"How do you mean?" You questioned her. I mean you never really did have time to come up with anything since you just realized, or assumed, what today was.

"For your special night, (Male Name)! A young boy like yourself doesn't have to do much, but it's still fun to set the scene. Say-" she says standing up to slowly make her way to the door "-I was just reading a crackerjack magazine article called 'How To Treat Your Husband To Keep Your Husband', and let me tell you somethin'...what Ralph could really use is, 'How to Goose Your Wife So You Don't Loose Your Your Wife'. She kidd's as her and the audience laugh. You look at her and shake your head trying to hold back your own laughter. "Hang on, I'll go grab it and we can start planning. Oh, this is gonna be a gas!" She shouts running to the door so she can leave and run to her house.

-----Time Skip---

Both Agnes and you are back on the couch, looking through her magazines trying to find ideas for the anniversary dinner you planned for you and Vision to share, when out of nowhere, the phone started ringing interrupting you two. You got up and rushed over to it hoping you don't miss the unknown caller, you pick it up and put it to your ear and then start talking.

"Vision residence how may I help you"

"(Male Name), darling I-"

"Vision, my dearest husband. How are you sweetheart?" You say cutting him off from his obviously panicked and frantic voice. I mean come on, you are just excited to hear your husband's voice after a hours of him being gone.

"Listen about tonight-"

You cut him off again, already knowing that he was going to talk about the anniversary. "Don't worry, dear, I have everything under complete control"

"Oh, well, that is a relief. I must confess, I'm really rather nervous" He says over the phone.

"Nervous? Whatever for?" You question.

"Well, you know, darling, I still get a little tongue-tied."

The audience coo's and aww's at how a dust of grey creeps up on your (dark grey/grey) cheeks. "Vis, after all this time..." you giggle out.

"There's a lot riding on this (Male Name)! If tonight doesn't go just so, I think this could be the end.

'Wait what' you think to yourself

"Well, it's just one night. There's no need to get dramatic." You say in a worried tone as you grasp your now queasy stomach.

Vision's tone begins to get more serious as the conversation continues in his attempt to express how important this is to you. "Look, I think the best course of action is to impress the wife."

"Well, first, I think you mean husband. And secondly I also think the best course of action is to impress the other husband too." You look over and give Agnes a thumbs up and a wink in her direction, and she does the same while sipping her martini.

"Glad to know we're both on the same page, love. Until tonight, then, my sweet little husband" Vision says making two smooching noises through the phone to you.

"Until tonight...my robotic husband" You return, whispering the last part so Agnes doesn't hear you. She couldn't hear you anyways, being too busy sipping her drink and flipping through the pages. You finally gently put the phone on the hook and return to the couch.

---Time Skip, Later Tonight---

Before Vision made it home, you set the big dining table that was next to the living room and tossed colorless silk scarfs on all of the laps in the room to set the mood and made your way to the bedroom to get dressed to surprise him for when he gets home. When you heard the door open and heard his voice, you tip toed your way out of the bedroom and into the living room, dressed a long fluffy white lingerie robe with white fur that wrapped around the arms of it which was trailing behind you, exposing both of your (dark grey/grey) legs. You then went all the way to Vision's black silhouette and gently wrapped your hands around his eyes, causing him to jump form the sudden contact.

The audience laughed again as they know your mistake. 'Where the hell is that laughing coming from, and whey is it happening right now of all times?' you thought to yourself in confusion.

"Guess who~" you seductively whispered to your husbands.

Suddenly the lights turn on and you hear Vision's voice that was filled with a mix of shock, embarrassment, and irritation at your recklessness. "(MALE NAME) WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

You gasp and look in his direction. "Vision? What are you-" then it hit's you, if Vision is right there, then who's-

"Oh! Oh my stars, I'm so sorry!" You say to the man you mistook for your husband. You quickly uncover his eyes and stumble away from him as he stares at you in shock. Then you look down at your attire and try to cover your exposed leg as much as possible.

"What is the meaning of this!" The bald headed mad says appalled, as his wife stands behind him looking around cluelessly.

Vision interrupts with his stammering voice just as confused as everyone else. "Well..uh yeah (Male Name) what is the meaning of-" Suddenly it hits him and he tries to comes up with an excuse off the top of his head. "-Oh, the meaning of it! You want to know the meaning of it...and...the meaning of it is...that this is the tradition of (Random Foreign Country/Continent) greeting of hospitality. Uhh...guess who???" Vision says as he runs behind you and overs your eyes.

"Oh is that my host being me?" You say playing along.

"It certainly is, darling. Lovely to make your acquaintance" Vision says vigorously shaking your hand. "See i forgot to tell you my husband is from (Random Foreign Country/Continent)" he giggles along with the audience.

"Oh, how exotic!" The man's wife cheerfully laughs.

"I never knew such a place as that existed" He says in a dark yet serious tone.

"Oh hush Author, have you no culture. Oh and the robe, I absolutely love it!" His wife replies trying to lighten up the awkward mood.

"Thank you so much ma'am-" you march through the living room and snatch off the silk scarves from all the lamps and tightly grab Vision's hand. "-Can I just see you in the kitchen for a moment, sweetheart?"

You both then slam your way through the kitchen door and it swings closed behind you, leaving Vision's boss and his wife behind as they sit down on the couch and patiently (more like impatiently on Arthur's end) wait for your return. You then turn around and look at each other before throwing questions.

"Who are those people?!"

"What are you wearing!?"

"Why are they here?"

"What are you wearing!?" Vision questions again boldly

"Well, it's out anniversary, that's why I'm wearing this!"

"Our anniversary of what?" Vison says, desperate to know what the hell you were talking about. Eventually you had enough of these shenanigan's and throw the scarves down at his feet stomping your way to the kitchen chairs. "Well if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!" you exaggerate, crossing your arms and pouting like a child

"(Male Name), darling! That...that man through there is my boss Mr. Hart! And his dear lady wife Mrs. Hart! The heart on the calendar was an abbreviation!" Vision whispers, roughly tapping his hand on the black heart drawn on the dull colored calendar.

You grab your head and shake it trying to put everything together. "Vision sweetie, you move at the speed of sound and I can make a pen float through the air. Who. Needs. To. Abbreviate!?"

Vision grabs both of your shoulders in an attempt to collect his thoughts and calm you down. "Darling, listen, it's all romantic to do the candles, the music, that stunning outfit. I don't wanna be unappreciative, but right now-"

"Your boss and his wife are expecting a home-cooked meal. Correct?" Vision nods his head while muttering 'exactly' while look around the kitchen in order to find somethin to serve to the unwarned visitation of guests. After looking around for a but, your eyes land on the mini round table that held a plate and food on it. "Well, does your boss and his wife have a hunger for a single chocolate-covered strawberry, split three ways?" Vision hisses while clenching his fists and shaking his head no.

"Oh wait, I might have better ideas" Without hesitation you raise both of your sands and snap your fingers, magically changing your outfit to the one you were wearing earlier that day, a pair of dark high waisted cuffed slacks and a white blouse to match (you can change if you don't like), and the audience claps in astonishment at your transformation whilst you tie your apron in a bow behind your back. Vision gives you a quick peck on the cheek and runs back to the living room to keep others company while you figure out what to serve everyone.

---Time Skip---

After minutes of looking, you couldn't find anything in the kitchen, and the refrigerator was empty, so you decided to call your good neighbor Agnes to see if she could pick up some things from the store and bring it over. A couple of minutes pass and you finally hear a familiar knock on the back door in the kitchen. As soon as you open it Agnes rushes through with her hands full of groceries stacked to her chin as she stumbles through the kitchen. Before you could even mutter out a 'thank you' she stops you dead in your tracks and puts all the food down on the table. "Before you can say anything don't think about it. I mean, what kind of housewife would I be if I didn't have a gourmet meal for four just lying about the place. Not that Ralph wants to eat anything other than baked beans, which explains a lot about his personal appeal, mind you." The audience laughs one more at her silly humor as you quickly render to her aid to grab some of the groceries before they could fall. Unfortunately, it seems like the Universe was not on your side since the large cooking pot crashed and hit the ground, echoing throughout the kitchen, while Agnes yelled out an overexaggerated 'oh my'.

You had to get rid of Agnes and as quickly as you can, so you decided to just push her out the back door despite her protests to help you cook. "Thank you so much Agnes but I can take it from here-"

"Are you sure dear, many hands make light work. And many mouths make good gossip too!"

"Oh ahahaha, you are so naughty! But-"

"Oh, shall I preheat the oven then? hmm?"

"That won't be necessary, thank you for your time!"

Somehow she managed to escape your grasp on her waist and make her way back to the counter to crab some kitchen tools to start cooking for you. "Well, I know you're in a pinch so this menu can be done in a snap." She says snapping her fingers before continuing her rambling. you run back over to her and snatch the utensils from her, setting them on the counter, and grabbing her arms to march her back to the door. "Lobster Thermidor with mini-minced turnovers to start. Chicken à la King with twice-cooked new potatoes for your second course, and Steak Diane with mint jellies for your main. Oh wait! Do you set your own jellies, dear?"

"Yes Agnes I do, now can you please-"

"Ah there you go, good boy! Recipe cards are all on the counter there. Bon Appétit!"

"Haha, yes will do, thank you so much again Agnes! Bye now!" You say slamming the door, making the audience laugh at your exhausted expression. Now that she's gone, you run to the middle of the kitchen and throw your arms around, making all of the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen fly open, the dishes start floating out, and the food starts cooking. Out of no where the doors to the island bar swoop open to show Mrs. Hart, but before she could see Vision distracts her by breaking out and singing Yackety Yack by The Coasters, causing her to break out into a little dance, making her way back to the couch. Dear gods and goddess', how lucky are you to have a savior like him.

But little did you know, that the night was only just beginning.

Djdjjskssj what’s your own love story

Omg haha, people are actually interested in my love story. Thanks for asking. XD. Actually, I think the reason why I fell in love with Levihan is because it reminded me a lot about what happened with my own boyfriend.

Tbh though, it might be a little boring cause we were like friends for years and we really just conveniently had a lot of stuff in common going on.

My boyfriend and I met first year college, first day of classes and we were seatmates in our English class because the seats were in alphabetical order. We ended up getting close to our English professor and we would go out drinking with him on occasion. Since my boyfriend lives in the dorm and my house is really near our university, we usually went home together after a night of drinking.

I took environmental science in college but I was taking other classes and I was a student athlete so my schedule was really irregular and I had to take some classes with chem majors. My then not-boyfriend was a chem major and I was dumb so I kept borrowing notes from him and I was asking him to tutor me.

Then when thesis happened I really needed his expertise since he was one of the few people in school qualified to operate the machines I needed for my thesis. So we were left alone a lot in the instrumentation room since people can only use them on reservation. He’d accompany me a lot for thesis since a lot of the waste materials of my thesis were like the treasures of his thesis and he also borrowed some of my equipment for his own thesis.

Around 4th year, we were chatting and calling everyday already and I think we were best friends already at that time and we were doing a lot of best friend stuff like buying condoms just to experiment with them (for science) so you know when we get into relationships with other people, we could at least recommend which condoms to use and we were making dating pacts like, if we’re 30 and we’re still single, we’ll date each other and we were promising to be the cool aunts/uncles of each other’s kids and very supportive best friends.

And then he got really sick then he stopped chatting because he was in the hospital for a while and he ended up in a hospital room WITH NO WIFi and I went crazy cause he wasn’t chatting me as much as before because he had to go out to the hospital hallways just to get signal. And he lives a plane ride away from our university so I couldn’t visit him in the hospital either. I was like drinking every night with my friends when he was gone and I kept trying to drunk call him and when he picked up, I’d be telling him I miss him and telling all my friends that I really miss him and he delayed his flight back to Manila because he was recovering and I remember crying over that too. It was a very embarrassing time. When he got discharged,I got back into my senses, I wrote him a long letter telling him we aren’t even dating so I shouldn’t feel that way and I’ll work on trying to be more independent.

So when he got back to Manila, I was drinking every night with him to recover from that huge bout of separation anxiety and we were technically celebrating the fact that he was back but he wasn’t drinking because he was still recovering from his illness. I was drunk for a lot of that time so it was all a blur but all I can remember is he was holding my hand a lot at night and shit. Then we realized that maybe it’s okay to hold hands as best friends cause best friends hold hands right. So we started holding hands more often because he said my hands were soft.

And then I started baking him cookies and I thought it would be a good idea that we start sharing food and I would tease him a lot like eating a cookie from his mouth with my mouth or nipping him in the lip but you know just as friends and I was still totally crushing on his best friend/roommate anyway.

And I started going to his dorm a lot because I was crushing on his roommate and then my then not-boyfriend said there was some tension going on between us or something like that, and he mentioned that I wasn’t fuck ugly.

And I think it was just a month later when we realized that we liked being single. But tbh, seeing him with other girls worried me because I didn’t wanna lose him and he said the same thing so we thought, why don’t we lock this relationship so like it’s just the both of us but I was still crushing on his best friend though so it was like a conditional lock. It was like a dating pact but like a ‘if somebody else comes along we need to have a long talk about it, kinda situation’

We only said ‘I love you’ to each other like a few months after that because we wanted to make sure this wasn’t just some special best friends thing lmao.

So yeah to answer the other questions; It’s been two years since the best friend ‘lock’ and a little over one year since the first I love you haha so I actually don’t know where the relationship actually started.

And how did my boyfriend court me? He didn’t. I don’t think we even had a courting phase. We just realized locking our relationship felt better than worrying about losing the other and I think it was around after the ‘I love you’ and when we became a little more intimate and only after that did we start using 'boyfriend and girlfriend' because we just wanted to make sure this wasn't some special friends thing.

New Years - Gin Ichimaru

"Happy New Years!" (Your Name) cheered popping out of the door as he came back from his captains duties.

Gin eyes opened a bit shockingly before it closed again as he pull her into a embrace. They've spent the last 5 New Years together and this one marked the 6th.

"How was work? You got back early! We should watch the fireworks." She suggested as he stretched a bit and leaned onto her a bit exhausted.

"Hmm watchin firework with ya seems fun." He says getting into a simple yukata she had bought him a few months ago.

Oh how Gin was lucky to snatch her into his life as she was falling apart. She had accepted his weirdness, although a lot of people were not fond of Gin and found him a odd fellow she thought different.

It was a small crush, he didn't think it would actually turn into something.

She was a shy girl that had transferred into his squad after resigning from the 4th.

(Your Name) quickly befriended Kira and slowly she gradually befriended her Captain.

"What are you thinking about?" She asks him as they walked with link arms to the hill.

"Yer first few years." He answers as she scoff and lightly hits him embarrassed.

As they reached the top other Shinigamis were already gathered with friends and significant others to watch the fireworks.

"Oh it's Rangiku!" (Your Name) says watching the busty women linked arms with no other than Shuhei Hisagi. At first the lady didn't want to give the poor man a chance but after his long efforts of pursuing she finally gave in and it was safe to say they have been happy ever since.

Of course (Your Name) knew of Gin and Rangiku past relationships but he has never gave her a reason to question anything.

Gin was of course happy for Rangiku she had deserved infinite happiest after the roughness of their childhood growing up.

They were both in a really healthy long term relationship.

"Seems like everyone is here tonight."

"It don't bother me much." Gin tells her as he laid his head on her lap as they gazed up into the stars before the showing.

When the fireworks started to show up everyone jumped and laughed around. It was a good time and they didn't have to think about any invasion or threatening enemies.

Gin never understood what was the big deal of New Years but every year since being with (Your Name) he enjoyed it.

At first he would just watch from his window at the barrack but being up on the hill with everyone else gave it a different meaning to him.

Watching the lights explode he looks up to (Your Name), she was smiling and enjoying herself. Looking into her eyes he could see the reflection of the sky as he softly smiles and pushes some hair out of her face.

"Hmm?" She says as he pulls her down slowly and gives her a New Years kiss.

"Happy New Year." He responses back as she laughs and then goes back to looking at the sky.

A soft knock on her door woke her out of a trace as she sees Rangiku appearing with a wide smile. "Hey! How have you been?"

"Good actually! I can't believe it's going to be New Years soon. Seems like yesterday I spent it with him."

Rangiku sadly smiles and sits across from (Your Name) grabbing her small fingers and holding it with her motherly one. "I know, I can't believe it's been 2 years without him. You haven't been back to the hill since then either. But why don't you go with me and a few of my friends! I promise it will be fun!"

"I don't know, it won't be the same but I do want to celebrate New Years and not be alone unlike the past 2 years." She laughs a bit.

"I'm providing drinks! Come on! I know Gin would want you to celebrate just as y'all use to do!" The older women pouted as (Your Name) nodded. She agreed to go because being alone was something she was afraid of going back to.

"Kira is coming too! You won't be alone."

Kira Izuru one of her closest friend and someone she shared a close bond to because they shared a lot of similarities when it came to their mental health. Kira was hurting as much as she was so it was the least she could do.

Both of them encouraging each other.

"I got you something small for New Years!" She cheered as they got back home.

He raised a eyebrow and followed her, she directed him to sit and close his eyes. He left open both his hands as she placed a small box into his hands.

Gin looks down to see it was neatly wrapped in red as he opens it to see some dried persimmons.

"Our tree died this winter and I know they are your favorite so I went to a store that specializes in candy to get them. It's not much but I hope it's okay?"

Gin was truly happy with this gift, to anyone it might seem meaningless but dried persimmons brought him back to his childhood and it was something he always craved.

"I love it." He answers setting it down and snaking his arms around her body as he smelt the fresh fragrance of lavender she was wearing.

Caressing his hair she kissed his head. She felt extremely lucky to have him by her side.

She dressed in a simple Kimono and walked to the hill, the firework showing was in another hour but Rangiku told her to get there early so they could drink before it.

Rangiku had many different types of sake and a bottle from the human world she made Ichigo get her for this special occasion.

"You made it!" She says hugging (Your Name) tightly rubbing her back knowing New Years was something special she spent with Gin every year.

"I'm excited! Looks like everyone is here too!"

"(Your Name)!" Shuhei says waving to her as he passed her a shot glass. "Kira!" He yells as (Your Name) turns around to see her lieutenant pull up with some bottles also.

"Kira and alcohol are meant to be."

"Everyone let's enjoy ourselves!" Rangiku cheers as they four took the first shots. After Ikkaku walked by pestering why he wasn't invited.

(Your Name) smiled and looked around, everyone was having fun and she was glad to have spent time with new friends. She was grateful for Rangiku also, they both lost someone precious they held in their heart.

"(Your Name) I'm glad you came we haven't been able to hang out!" Kira slurred his words hanging his arm around her already drunk.

She giggled a bit and held him up straight offering him some water.

"Me too Kira, I'm able to come back here now."

(Your Name) found Gin on deaths door lying on the rough concrete floor as she cried and picked his head up lightly and laid him on her thighs as he always did.

"Why did you do try to attack Aizen! Why didn't you tell everyone your intentions! Everyone will think you are a traitor!" She yells at him as the tears fell on his face.

Gin struggled to lift his arm as he held her face and smiled lightly saying "I was already a traitor when I left the most important thing behind."

(Your Name) struggled to breathe, this wasn't what she planned after not seeing him for so long.

Rangiku was by their side also in the same state as (Your Name) as she cried.

"I love you (Your Name)." He says before his arm went limp and he looked at Rangiku one last time before closing his eyes.

The two broken girls cried for him and for each other as they held each other hands.

"Are you okay?" Kira ask tilting his head as she spaced off and she smiled to him.

"I am now."

"Look look the fireworks are about to start!" Rangiku cheered as (Your Name) looked up amazed at the light show.

Every year it was a different show so it lifted everyone out of their feet wondering what they were going to see.

"Here's a sparkler!" Hisagi passed to her as it lit up and she smiled warmly. It was pretty, bright and dangerous.

Holding the sparkler up to the sky with everyone else they all cheered to the New Year brightly as they all kissed their loved ones.

"Come on (Your Name) we are close enough to give each other a hug!" Kira says even though she knew he was drunk the man lost just as much as her. His arm were open for her to embrace.

She gives him an warm embrace for the New Year until Rangiku yelled at them and joined into the group hug.

(Your Name) was overwhelmed with so many emotions as the two embraced her she wanted to cry tears of happiness but nothing came out. She was thankful this year she spent it with them because at the end of the day they all cared and loved each other.

"Happy New Year (Your Name)."

She hears a familiar voice softly says in her ears as she looks up into the sky. He was watching over her, protecting and encouraging her in spirit.

"Happy New Year Gin."

(Author note: wow this is my 20th chapter! I gotta say I'm proud of myself! Also who's your favorite girl character? Mine would be Rukia, Rangiku and Nel!)

the memory of you pt. 1

Gilderoy Lockhart x Healer!reader

requested: (anon) Omg thank you! If you want to write any kind of Lockhart scenario that suggests NSFW stuff then I'd totally be cool with whatever you come up with 😊 thanks again so much! ❤️

warnings: none

summary: After helping Gilderoy deal with his memory loss and get him out of St. Mungo's, you couldn't help but fall for his charm once more when he finds you on the streets of London.

a/n: I THOUGHT I QUEUED THIS 💀 i sat here at work thinking 'damn, no one liked my post? k 😭' anyways, i'm gonna break this into two parts before it gets too long lmao. bold italics are flashbacks

(gif not mine, cred to owner)

You worked with a certain celebrity for quite a while now. He was brought in one day without knowing who he was, where he came from, and how he ended up in a weird cave. His residence at St. Mungo’s where you worked lasted for a while. Other Healers declared that there was no way to recover his memory, but he didn’t seem to mind. Gilderoy was perfectly content with being happy and healthy even if he didn't know what was going on.

He was so sweet. Never gave you or any of your colleagues any trouble. He took his potions with ease, didn't make a fuss when bringing him from one room to another, and held conversations as normal. His family would visit him on occasion and it pained you to watch him not know them. But overall, he was happy.

After two years at St. Mungos, Gilderoy was let go considering that even though his memories were gone, he had enough mental stability to be out in public. Gilderoy had to go to a private academy to re-learn magic basics in adult classes. You remember the night before he left.

“So nice to start my life tomorrow,” Gilderoy had his signature smile on. He ate his dinner on his own without the help of Healers.

“Your life has already started, you just don't remember is all,” you corrected. You were preparing his bed for the last time. Since it's his last night, you were able to grab an extra pillow for him to be comfortable.

“Yes, but tomorrow I'll start a life I can remember. I'll make new memories.” Gilderoy stood up from his small table and walk to his hospital bed. He always loved the way you prepared his bed. How you fluffed the pillow, folded the blankets back neatly, and made sure the bed was warm. It wasn't special treatment as you did it for all patients, but he appreciated it all the same.

“Good night, Miss Y/L/N,” he said.

“Good night, Mr. Lockhart,” you replied.

Two years later, you're still working at St. Mungos. You've seen patients come and go since then. None quite as cooperative as Gilderoy, but they weren't all bad either.

The London streets were busy as usual today. It was slightly cloudy, but luckily it wasn't raining. And thank Merlin because you didn't have an umbrella with you. Cabs were driving right past you as you stood by the sidewalk trying to catch one. Once one stopped in front of you and you were about to climb in, another hand also grabbed for the handle. “Miss Y/L/N?”

Gilderoy stood next to you, eyes gleaming and wore his charming smile. He looked as happy as he always did. “Mr. Lockhart, hello.” It was a pleasant run in, and you'd love to chat but you had to be at work soon. It seemed that he noticed your uniform as well. “Oh, go ahead. I'll call for another one.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lockhart.” You opened the door but before you could close it, Gilderoy said one last thing. “I hope to see you again!” He waved at you as you left and kept at it until you were out of sight.

His wish was granted three months later; he was walking around the same street for probably the 4th time that week. He wasn't ashamed to admit that after that day he ran into you, he wanted to see you again. You were with a couple of friends at a pub one night celebrating a proper weekend off. Gilderoy followed you in, a bit of people that recognized him stopped him to say ‘hi’ but of course, he doesn't know them. They were fans of his before the memory loss. They took a few pictures and he went walking after you. You were seen sitting at a bar table by yourself waiting for your friends to come back from the restroom.

Gilderoy walked up to you slowly, “Hello, Miss Y/L/N.” You recognized him and by pure habit, you gave him your work smile and voice, “Good evening, Mr. Lockhart.”

“Please, call me Gilderoy,” he requested.

“Gilderoy,” you reached your hand out to shake his, “you can call me Y/N.” His smile changed, not one that you've seen in magazines and papers, but a more humble one. His cheeks became a bit rosy and he looked like he was flustered. “So, how have you been?” he asked. You took a quick sip of the water that was on the table before continuing the conversation, “I’ve been good! Just been working all the time. How about you? I bet so many great things have been going with you?”

“Not really. Since I didn't know much about my life before I was admitted in, I didn't know where to start. So I lived with my mother for a while, but now I’m on my own.” Seeing Gilderoy be so humble was a sight to see. A once self-centered, proud man has turned into a sweet, kind one. You almost wanted to thank whoever did this to him, not knowing it was actually Gilderoy who had accidentally done this to myself. “Well, are you working right now?” you asked him.

“No, I don’t really have anything to offer,” he looked down.

“That’s not true, you…” you stopped to think about what it was that Gilderoy could do. And unfortunately, it wasn't much. When word had gone out that he had actually stolen credit for all the things he had claimed to have done, people wondered if he was good at anything.

Gilderoy laughed at your blank expression. You felt bad. “Well, I’m sure you’re good at something.” You patted his shoulder gently across the table. Your friends came back from the restroom after what felt like twenty minutes. “Oh! It’s Gilderoy Lockhart, so nice to meet you,” each of them shook his hand. “What brings you here?”

Suddenly, he was embarrassed to say that he was spending weeks trying to find you. “Oh, I was just around. I walked inside and recognized Y/N. Thought I’d say hello,” he felt a bit nervous at that moment. “Well I best be going. I don't want to intrude. Have a good evening.” Gilderoy was about to leave until one of your friends called out for him, “No, stay! I’m sure Y/N would love to catch up with you, isn't that right?” You weren't sure if it would be appropriate to hang out with a former patient. Sure, it’s been a couple years since then, but you've never had any patients become even acquaintances, let alone friends. But the look in Gilderoy’s eyes that were basically begging you to say ‘yes’ hit something in you. “If you’re not doing anything else tonight, I'm sure we would like your company tonight.”

Gilderoy was funnier than he seemed to be. Being one of the Healers that worked with him for nearly four years, you never knew about this. He was telling the story of the first time he had used the levitation spell during his adult classes and he accidentally made his professor levitate and not the inanimate object on the table. Slightly tipsy, you and your friends laughed so hard trying to picture the situation. Gilderoy said he panicked and when he tried to let him down, the professor fell from ten feet in the air on his head and passed out. Luckily, he wasn't kicked out to the class but it was certainly something the professor never let him live down.

By the end of the night, your friends had gotten plastered and left for home. You were fine; your tipsy state was gone. You made sure your friends were set in the cab and told the cabbie their addresses. Gilderoy stood behind you and watched as you took care of your friends. It was different than when you worked, but it brought back memories when you took care of him.

When the cab drove off, you turned to look at the blond man. “Well, it was great seeing you, Mr. Lock– Gilderoy,” you quickly corrected yourself. You nodded and started walking down the street before he called for you again. “W-would you like to take a walk?” You thought about it, the same thought from earlier. But you've already shared a few drinks with him, so a walk wouldn't hurt. The sky was clear and although the stars were faint, there were a couple large ones that you could point out. You walked in silence for a couple minutes until you spoke up, “The weather’s nice.” He nodded quietly. It wasn't odd for him, but it was for you. It was odd to see him not as talkative as he used to be. You supposed that when you have your memories wiped, your personality could be affected as well. But he was still somewhat himself when he was a patient, so this change must have happened in the past two years. You hoped that nothing bad happened in that time.

It was getting later and later, but something about Gilderoy was different and you liked being around this sort of new him. He’s more inviting compared to how he was when he was a celebrity. The feeling of it being weird with him outside of work was gone, and something else started. You wanted to get to know him as a person again.

You checked the time on your wristwatch and decided that you should head home eventually. “It was nice seeing you tonight. I hope to see you again,” you grinned. His eyes lit up as he looked at you, “I would love that. Maybe we can have tea sometime?”

“I’d like that. Goodnight, Gilderoy.”

“Good night, Y/N.” He signaled a cab for you and like he did the last time, he waved until he couldn't see you anymore.

Be My Infinity || Patrick & Jackie

Tagging: Jackie, @patrick-clarington

When: Tuesday, May 4th

Where: Patrick & Jackie’s Home

Warnings: Tons of fluff

Notes: Patrick asks a very important question on their one year anniversary.

Patrick

Patrick had spent the last month preparing for their anniversary. He wanted so desperately to make it perfect for Jackie. It had been an incredible year for him, even in the months when he was away undercover. Through all of the relationships and hook ups he’d been through before, he’d never felt as comfortable, safe and happy as he had with Jackie. She was his everything and he needed her to know that. So, for the past month he had been travelling back and forth from Newcastle on his days off to attend cooking lessons. He wanted so badly to make a decent meal of spaghetti for them both as a reminder of their first date at the Italian restaurant. Knowing he had a few minutes left before Jackie got home from her dance classes, Patrick checked on the food quickly before lighting the candle he’d placed on the middle of their table and took a deep breath. Never before in his whole life had he been as nervous as he was tonight.

Jackie

Words couldn’t begin to explain how amazing this last year had been. Never did she think she’d meet someone who would capture her heart and prove to her how amazing life could be. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world with Patrick, she has never felt so loved and appreciated. Even in their months apart while he was gone for his job her love still grew for him everyday. That for her really set things in stone for her. It really let her know how much she wants to hold on to him forever. Now here they are the day of their anniversary. She wished she could have taken the day off but she was happy to spend the morning with her students. But she was even more excited to come home to Patrick. She got home as quickly as she could, her smile growing every second and her heart beating in anticipation. When she stepped in she looked around, “Babe, I’m home! I missed you so much today.” She started to smell the food though, her smile grew. Did he cook for them?

Patrick

When Jackie walked through the door, Patrick’s nerves increased tenfold and his heart was beating like crazy. God, he loved her so much. Her smile though helped ease some of Patrick’s nerve and his smile mirrored hers. “I missed you more! Now, you’ve got a bit of time to relax a bit or freshen up before dinner.” He glanced back into the kitchen for a moment to make sure nothing was burning. “I’m making spaghetti but before you protest, I promise I won’t burn the pasta this time. I found someone in Newcastle to give me some lessons so I could make you something nice for our anniversary.

Jackie

Just the sight of him never failed to make her heart skip a beat, "I would love that, I want to be properly dressed for such a wonderful occasion." She teased, but it was true she wanted to properly celebrate their anniversary. And her outfit she wore for the class truly didn't fit the occasion, especially since he prepared a meal for them. Her lips parted in surprise at his words, "Patrick..." She said softly, waiting for him to finish. "You did all of that for our anniversary? Goodness I love you so much." Jackie couldn't help but set her bag down and move over to him to steal a kiss. "You are the sweetest, even after that long job of yours and all that paper work you still found time for this."

Patrick

To Patrick, Jackie looked incredible in everything she wore but he thought she might like the chance to dress up. “We have to take the chance to dress up when we can because we don’t get the chance when we’re working a lot.” He blushed lightly as Jackie told him she loved him. He would never get sick of hearing her say that. “I wanted to make it really special so I didn’t mind. It was just a couple of times a week and I’d usually aim to do it after a night shift because you’d usually still be asleep so I wouldn’t miss any time with you.” Touching her cheek, Patrick leant in to give her another kiss. He could never get enough of being able to kiss and touch Jackie whenever he had the chance.

Jackie

"At least we look amazing whatever we wear to work." She complimented, "But we look just as amazing dressed up too." Jackie could go on and on with her compliments for him. Being able to see that smile and blush only encouraged her. "It is special, it is so special." She could melt right then and there. "You really did think of everything didn't you?" Her hands moved to rest on his sides as their lips met again, tilting her head into his touch. Not being able to help but press more soft kisses to his lips, she could never get enough of him, especially since he's come back home. "Dinner... and freshening up..." Jackie mumbled against his lips with a smile, trying her best to pull away from him.

Patrick

“That’s true. It’s actually unfair to everyone else how good we both look all the time,” he laughed, his grin growing. He was so happy that Jackie loved that he had been trying to learn to cook a decent meal for her. She deserved it for being so amazing. He bit his lip for a moment when she spoke again about him thinking of everything before recovering with a smile. “I hope I did anyway.” He wanted to stay in this moment and embrace with Jackie forever but he knew she was right, giving her another quick peck before stepping back. “You’re right. I need to check on the food so I’ll let you get changed. I think I can handle letting you go for a few minutes.”

Jackie

"The audacity of us, I don't know how we get away with it." Hearing his laugh never failed to make her whole face brighten up. Her fingers ran up and down his sides, feeling herself already disappearing into their little bubble. "I'm sure you did, babe. The fact that you thought of all of this alone already makes today amazing." She chuckled once he stepped away, finding her lifting her arms already wanting to hug him again. Pausing though, "You know what else is unfair how hard it is to be away from you." She admitted before sighing, "But yes, yes....I'll be right back before you know it." Jackie said before stepping away and going into their room to get changed.

Patrick

Patrick watched with a smile as Jackie left the room and turned his attention back to the food. The sauce and meatballs were finished and the pasta was minutes away. Thank god nothing had burned so far. Turning away from the food for a moment, Patrick looked over at the table again to make sure everything was ready. Everything had to be perfect. He desperately wanted to make sure everything was perfect so the another surprise he had would hopefully also work out. His hand found its way into his pocket to make sure the small box was still settled safely in there before he looked up as Jackie re-entered the room. “Okay, how is it fair for you to look that good?” He asked, his grin returning.

Jackie

Jackie quickly freshened up, fixing her hair and make up, her hair moving from a ponytail to her curls resting on her shoulders. It took her quite a few moments though to finally pick a dress to wear, finally deciding on a new red one that she had gotten. She tried her best to stay a little more casual even if she loved any chance to dress up. Finally checking herself in the mirror, feeling her excitement growing by the second. When she stepped out and heard his compliment a blush immediately deepened on her cheeks. Doing a little spin to show off the dress. "That is always my goal to be completely unfair." She teased before walking over to him again, her arms opening up. "The food smells amazing, it makes me think of our very first date."

Patrick

Every time that Patrick looked at Jackie, it was almost like he fell in love all over again. He didn’t think it was possible for that to even happen but ever since he’d met Jackie, it seemed that anything was possible. His grin grew at her spin and he quickly wrapped her back in his arms again. “Well, you’re definitely exceeding your goal!” Pressing a kiss to her cheek, he glanced over at the food again. “I hope it tastes good too. It should be done in a second so why don’t you take a seat and I’ll serve it up.” Giving Jackie another quick kiss, he led her over to the table and pulled out the chair for her to sit down. Pouring a glass of wine for them both, he flashed Jackie a smile as he headed back over to the food to turn it off and started serving it up. “The good news is that the pasta didn’t burn this time.”

Jackie

Another laugh escaped her as he wrapped his arms around her again, her hands moving to wrap around his neck. She couldn't help but want to hold him close again, even for a moment. Getting lost in his gaze for a moment, "You are too, too handsome for words." Little moments like these when she was in his arms only reminded her of how lucky she felt to have him in her life. She never thought a year ago that she would be where she is now. Completely and totally in love with such a wonderful man. "I am sure it will, you made it with love. So that alone will make it amazing." She assured finally nodding, "I'm so excited to try it." Letting him lead her to the table, "Such a gentleman too." Watching him as she served up the food, "I knew you could do it, pasta can be a pain to get a hang of. But you seem to be doing it wonderfully."

Patrick

Patrick finished serving up the pasta and took the plates over to the table. He placed one serving down in front of Jackie before sitting down opposite her. “I just hope we don’t get food poisoning as that will put a real dampener on our anniversary,” he laughed, picking up his glass and holding it out to Jackie. “I just want to say, before we possibly die, that I can’t believe we’ve been together for a whole year now. It honestly feels like yesterday when you first showed up at my door and stayed all weekend and now you live here with me. Thanks for sticking by me for this long and happy anniversary!”

Jackie

Jackie shook her head at his words laughing along with him, "Oh darling, I doubt that will happen. Maybe you'll need teach me a few things after I realize how amazing your cooking skills are." When he picked up his glass she picked hers up as well, finding her smile growing again. Her heart fluttering at his words, "Patrick...thank you for sticking with me. It has been the most wonderful year of my life. Thank you for showing me the most wonderful kind of happiness and how great it is to open your heart to the right person. I feel so lucky to be able to hold your heart and keep it safe and have you do the same for mine."

Patrick

Her words made Patrick’s heart soar and he reached across the table to touch Jackie’s free hand. “Honestly, it’s been an honour to be able to call you mine and to be able to hold your heart. I love you so much, Jackie.” Smiling, he gently clinked their glasses together and took a sip. “Alright, I guess we better try the food and see how bad it really is.” Putting down his glass, Patrick picked up his fork and swirled up some of the pasta. “Okay, here goes,” he mused before putting the fork in his mouth. He chewed for a moment before shrugging. “It’s actually not bad.”

Jackie

Jackie squeezed his hand once he took hers, getting lost in his eyes. Almost hoping that when their eyes met he could realize all the love she's feeling for him. "I love you too, Patrick. So much." Gladly taking a sip of the wine after their glasses clinked. So excited to finally try the food, setting down her own glass after him. Once she tried the food her face lit up all over again. "Not that bad? It is so good! The sauce, the seasonings and especially the noodles." The last part she teased, "It tastes great and it pairs perfectly with the wine too." Already finding herself twirling her fork again to get more of the pasta. "You need to be careful showing off these skills, I'll be craving pasta so much more now."

Patrick

The blush that appeared on his face at Jackie’s compliment was bright red and he bit his lip as he smiled. “Really? I know it’s just my first try but I’m just super glad it’s not all burnt and crunchy.” He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment as he took another mouthful of pasta. “I still have so much that I would love to learn from you but I’m so glad that you like it,” he replied, taking a drink. “How did the classes go today?”

Jackie

Seeing that blush on his face only made her smile grow, "Yes, really. I didn't have this much luck with my first pasta dish." He deserved the praise and compliments for his hard work, the food really was good. "You know I'll always love teaching you, maybe we could even take classes together too. Learn something new." Making future plans of things for them to do together was one of her favorite things. "Oh they went so well!" She started before taking another drink. "The beginners class is getting so well at putting together choreography for a dance. I think I might be able to put them in a recital this summer. I am sure the parents would love a chance to see that."

Patrick

The compliments were just making Patrick’s smile grow along with the blush. Only Jackie was able to make him feel so incredibly proud at being able to do something as simple as cooking pasta. “That would be really fun. There were some couples there cooking together and it reminded me of that camping trip we took together when we cooked pizza.” Whenever Patrick thought about his future, Jackie was always there right beside him. That’s why tonight felt so important to him. He had to make sure he asked her at the right time. “That would be so cute! The beginners are always the ones that seem to be having the most fun too so I bet their parents would love seeing that.”

Jackie

Jackie instantly remembered that day, she always would. Not only how many memories they were able to make, but their first 'I love you' how it came so naturally for them. She sighed happily, "That was an amazing day wasn't it? We need to take more camping trips." It always felt like there were a world of possibilities of things she knew she wanted to experience with him. "But those cooking classes are totally on the list." All of these plans felt so much more exciting since he came home too, she wanted to make up for all the lost time. "Wouldn't it?" She gushed, "Goodness they are just getting better everyday and I would love to show off their talents before any of them move classes at the end of the cycle. The parents would be so proud, I know I am." It felt amazing that he always supported her teaching and seemed to really understand why she loved it so much. "Even the teens and adults are doing well too, one of them is really wanting to to London for school. To study dance." She could go on and on though, "What about you though? How was work?"

Patrick

Patrick smiled as he remembered the trip and how it had been the start of the next step of their relationship. It was just one of many great memories he had with Jackie. “Maybe now that I’m back and the weather is getting warmer we can go away again soon.” Being away from Jackie for months had really cemented the fact for Patrick that he wanted to do everything he could with her, including things he never thought he would. “I’ll have to come by and watch a class again. Or if you do the recital, I’ll have to come by and watch the kids before they all grow up and move on.” Listening to Jackie flaking about dance was one of his favourite things. Her passion was just incredible. “That’s amazing! I bet they’ll kill it over there.” He shrugged though at her question about his work. After taking a drink, he replied, “Eh, same old. But good news is that I’ve finally finished the paperwork for my time away undercover so I can finally go back out in the field again!”

Jackie

"I would just love that, another little holiday with you. I think you especially deserve it." While he was away she swore that she made so many plans of things they could do once he got back. It was one of those things that made all of the days that passed easier. "You should! They miss you. When you were gone they even went on and on about you. They thought it was the coolest thing when you came and visited." It was always a highlight of her day when either of them could visit each other at work. She sighed though at what he said next. "It'll never get easier to see students go though, even if I am so proud of them." When he spoke she enjoyed more of the pasta. Her smile growing at his relief. "Finally? Thank goodness, sitting around with all that paper work can't be fun. The action must seriously make work that much easier."

Patrick

“Maybe we can head over to Scotland and you can show me around your hometown?” Taking a few more bites of the pasta, Patrick smiled as Jackie mentioned the kids missing him. He loved getting a chance to visit Jackie when he could and he especially loved playing with the kids when they finished the class. “I love those kids. I really wasn’t into the idea of ever having kids until I met those little cuties.” He gave Jackie a sad smile. “I imagine that is what teachers feel all the time in schools when kids graduate and grow up. I bet Nate feels like that too.” Patrick thought for a moment about what Jackie said before nodding in agreement. “It really does. But I do forget it’s much quieter around here than it was while I was away working. But the quiet is nice and much less stressful.”

Jackie

Jackie's eyes lit up at the idea, "I would love nothing more. You can meet my family too if you'd want to. I mean actually get to meet them in person, but still." There are so many things that she would love for him to see and experience. "They could convince a person of anything couldn't they? Teaching them has done the same for me." She nodded at what he said next, "Gosh I really need to ask him how he can handle it. I am so happy for them though, I just have to try to focus on that." She shook her head, she can't think about that stuff now, there was still a lot of time left with them. "Is there one you like more? I must imagine it's nice to have a lot to do, but I'd imagine the stress with it being busy would just be...so much."

Patrick

Patrick smiled at the look in Jackie’s eyes. He knew how much she wanted to take him to meet her family. “Of course I want to meet them in person! They mean so much to you so I want to get to know them. Besides, you’ve met all of my siblings so it’s only fair.” He’d actually very recently spoken to her parents with the help of Nate but he wasn’t ready to mention that just yet. “It’s because they’re so cute. Cuteness wins everybody over. I should know!” He teased with a grin. “I guess you just have to think about how you’ve done everything you can for them and now it’s up to them to live their lives.” He nodded in agreement with Jackie’s statement. “I think I like a bit of both. But it is really nice having a lot to do, but only if I can do it here with all my family and friends. And you, of course.”

Jackie

Jackie chuckled softly, “I’m afraid my parents won’t be as exciting.” She teased, “But I’m sure they will love you, especially with how much I’ve gushed about you and how happy you make me.” Her smile grew, “Cute people have so much power. I don’t know how you handle it.” She complimented again. Her smile softened though at what he said next, “You’re right...you always seem to know what to say. You know that right?” He always knew the words that would make any worry of hers float away, regardless of the size. “Family and friends really make any place better doesn’t it? Maybe they’ll have more chances for you to travel again. As long as they don’t keep you away for too long. If I ask nicely enough maybe I could come with you.”

Patrick

Patrick grinned. “I’m sure they’ll be exciting but it’s definitely hard to beat the amount of drama and excitement the Clarington family brings to the table. I’m just picturing a family dinner and it would definitely end with either a death or an arrest.” As much as he joked about his family, he did love all of his siblings; most of the time anyway. “I hope so anyway. I love you like a ridiculous amount so I hope they don’t hate me.” With a shrug, Patrick finished off his pasta and picked up his glass. “It’s honestly a burden. But you would already know that since you’re much cuter than I am.” Finishing off his glass, Patrick shrugged again. “Really? I’m not great at giving advice so I’m glad I said the right thing this time.” The idea of taking Jackie along with him for another work stint was music to Patrick’s ears. “I’m sure you could. I’ll just have to put some extra security in to keep you safe if I end up undercover again but I would never let you get hurt.”

Jackie

"I doubt they would, but even in the crazy insane chance that they do that wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't change how much I love you and how important you are to me. They would just have to learn to love you." That is one thing she always hoped he always knew is that he would always be in her life. She would stay for as long as he wanted her around. Nothing could change that, she would never want to lose the special love that they have. Jackie chuckled though, "It is quite a weight on my shoulders, truly." She teased before finally finishing the pasta. "You always do, babe." Even his smile could make things better. "I know you wouldn't, I trust you with my life. If it could be done safely for you and your work I'd love that. I would even stay at where you live the whole time if it meant that I got to start and end the days with you."

Patrick

“Well, I’m very good at impressing parents so I’ll just have to pull out all the stops to make sure they love me.” He laughed, knowing that it wouldn’t get to that point but it was still nice knowing that Jackie would still want to be with him either way. “That’s the best part of my day, when I get to start and end it with you. Or even come home after a night shift and being able to climb in bed with you.” Patrick climbed out of his seat and moved around the table collecting their dishes and taking them into the kitchen. He came back out and sat down next to Jackie with a smile. “So, I cheated with dessert and bought a cake from Bethany’s bakery but I had something I wanted to say before we had some.”

Jackie

"If you're not too careful they may end up loving you more than their daughter with just how charming you are." Jackie said with a grin, it was hard not to when she got to hear his laugh. "Oh now that may be one of the best ways to wake up, with your arms wrapped around me." She sighed contently, "How I manage to still cuddle up in my sleep is amazing to me." Thanking him as he took the dishes, hoping she could help him with them later. When he sat down her eyes moved to his, reaching for his hand. Even just dinner was too long not being connected to him. "Grace's is amazing, you made a perfect choice." Plus he took the time to cook she'd hope he made something easy on himself. "Of course, I'm all ears." Even turning her body towards his, wanting to give him all of her attention.

Patrick

“I highly doubt that. From what I’ve heard about them, you mean such a great deal to them. That’s why I hope they like me too.” Jackie’s content sign made his heart soar. “I guess that’s just one of those things we’ll never know the answer to.” Taking Jackie’s hand helped ease the nerves that had started building again. He wasn’t sure why he was so nervous. This was Jackie and the way their eyes met reminded him of how much she adored him. He swallowed hard for a moment before he began to talk. “Jackie, I just want you to know that you have completely changed my life. Before I met you, I didn’t think I’d ever be able to feel this way about someone. I didn’t think you could love someone with such an intensity. After losing my mother, I just completely shut down and didn’t want to feel anything ever again. I didn’t want to love anyone again because I was so scared of losing them and having to feel that pain all over again.” Pausing for a moment, he blinked away the tears that were forming and leant forward to press a kiss to Jackie’s cheek. “But after being shut down for so long, I met you. At first, I just loved spending time with you. I loved our flirty banter and the ease of our conversations. I don’t even really know when things changed from attraction to falling in love. I just know that they did and suddenly I was so scared of losing you. Of feeling so much pain that I wouldn’t be able to cope and it would destroy me forever. But then you made me realise that it’s okay to fall in love and it’s okay to open myself up again. That’s when I realised that whenever we talked about forever, I meant it.” Pausing again, Patrick’s free hand slipped into his pocket and pulled out the small box. “I guess what I really wanted to say the most is that I love you. I promise to love you forever. And I just want to know...” he pushed the chair he was sitting in back slightly so he could move forward and kneel on one knee in front of Jackie.

Opening the box, he held it out to Jackie. Inside was a white gold ring with a diamond in the centre with a ruby on either side. He wanted to find a way to include the colour red as a reminder of the roses he first sent Jackie and also of her favourite colour. “Jacqueline St. James, will you do me the incredible honour of choosing to be my forever?”

Jackie

As he spoke her heart couldn't prepare her for his words. Her heart ached but soared at the same time. She remembered those days like it was yesterday. Jackie's hand moved to his cheek for a moment, her thumb brushing along his skin. She was ready to wipe away any of his tears even if she felt her own welling up in her eyes. His words were warming her heart, she felt every single thing he said. She was looking back on the memories like they were yesterday. Jackie remembered how much her heart ached when she saw him hurt but how relieved she was when she was able to prove her dedication to him. Before she knew it she knew her words of forever were ones that she really meant. And she will always mean them, for forever. But nothing could prepare her for when she saw him pull the small box out of his pocket, surprise were written all over her face. Her heart swelling while also feeling it like it could beat out of her chest. "Patrick, darling..." She whispered, "I love you too." God, she could barley muster up any words. A gasp escaped her though when he opened the box to reveal a ring, the most beautiful ring. Her eyes darting between his and the ring. It was her favorite color, the color of the roses he first got her, the color she shared that she loved when they took their time to sit down and get to know each other. "Oh my god," Was all she could say at first, but the brightest smile spread on her face, already feeling the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Yes, it would be the most incredible honor I could ever have. I would be the luckiest person in the world...." She rambled before finally moving for her hands to rest on his cheeks before pulling him in for a kiss.

Patrick

The silence between them as he watched Jackie process what he’d just asked was the scariest moment Patrick had encountered since he’d found out his mother was sick all those years ago. Tears were running down his own cheeks as he held his breath waiting for Jackie’s response until her face light up with the brightest smile he had ever seen and she finally spoke. He wasn’t sure he’d heard her correctly at first but Jackie really had said yes and then she kissed him. The box fell from his grip as his arms wrapped around Jackie and he lifted them both to their feet so he could hold her close as they kissed. The nerves finally melted away and he finally realized that Jackie did want to marry him and she also meant it when she had said forever.

Jackie

As they kissed her thumbs brushed against his cheeks, wiping his tears away. There was no other answer but yes, she could even admit that she knew it at the start. Especially as their feelings developed and grew, she meant it when she said forever. She was ready for it for whatever that forever entailed, she would be happy as long as she got to spend it with him. Now being able to be his wife for forever? That sounded like a dream come true. All she could hope was that he could feel her love and happiness as they kissed. Giggling against his lips as he lifted her up, one of her hands moved into his hair. "I love you, I love you, god I love you so much." She mumbled against his lips. Only parting slightly to brush her nose against his, "You make me so happy you know that, right? With every single day, even more now. God I'm so lucky."

Patrick

Her giggle had him grinning against her lips and still grinning as she pulled back slightly. Being away from Jackie for so long had been the trigger for Patrick to realize that he wanted to marry her. The distance was enough for him to know that he didn’t want to be away for Jackie for that long again and that he always wanted to be able to start and end his day with her by his side. Patrick could feel her tears on her cheek and he pulled back a little further to kiss them all away. “I love you more than I think I’ll ever be able to tell you.” Pressing another kiss to Jackie’s lips, he rested his head against hers with another smile. “I’m really glad. I just want to do everything I can to make you happy because you make me so incredibly happy.”

Jackie

"Then we'll just show each other as often as we can." When his forehead rested on hers she finally let her eyes open, almost instantly getting lost in his. "I didn't think it was possible to feel this happy, but you manage to prove to me that it's possible every single day." Her voice still soft, her eyes sparkling with love. "I'm just...goodness I can barely put together words or thoughts." She laughed softly, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. "I am just so glad that you gave me a chance, that you trusted me. With your story, with your concerns and with your heart. I know how hard that was, how scary it was for both of us to open our hearts....but for some reason it always felt right." Her thumb brushed along his cheek, "And I am so glad it does. I use to feel like when people talked about finding their person...or their soulmate and I just thought it was a story. You made that real for me, Patrick. You made falling in love and loving myself all over again a reality." Jackie couldn't help but feel herself tear up again. "And now I'm lucky enough to call you my fiance....my soon to be husband."

Patrick

When their eyes met, Patrick instantly felt at ease. He loved how easily he could just get lost in her eyes. As she spoke again, he listened intently, never dropping his gaze. “I’m just so glad that you were happy to give me the time and space that I needed to get myself to a point where I could let you in. And that you were willing to open your heart to me despite how scared you were. You’re right though. Everything between us has always just felt right.” His fingers stroked her hip as Jackie continued to talk. “I get that. After watching Hunter marry Levi and knowing that he was able to find someone who loved him even though he’s a massive pain in the ass, I realised that maybe you can find that person. Then I met you and I just knew you were someone special. I’m really glad that I made it all a reality for you.” Patrick saw her eyes fill with tears again and he pressed a kiss to her lips with a smile. “I can’t believe I get to marry you.”

Jackie

"I would do anything for you," Her voice soft, "We both needed someone to lean on, someone to prove to us how much good there could be in the world." When she felt his touch on her hip her smile grew. Laughing when he talked about Hunter and Levi, "I will forever be thankful for that." She said softly, still smiling against his lips as they kissed. "It almost feels like a dream still." Jackie admitted, "But I can't wait...It'll be the one of the best days ever." One of her hands moving up to wipe some of her tears away, "Oh my gosh I can't even control my emotions I'm just feeling so many of them." Chuckling softly before sighing, "This was perfect, babe. Everything is, you are..." She rambled off again, she had a feeling she would be either speechless or rambling for quite awhile after this. "There aren't even words..."

Patrick

“And I would do anything for you, my love,” he replied with a small smile. As Jackie started talking again and got overwhelmed with various emotions, Patrick just held her close and listened with a smile. “I know how you feel. I’ve been a mess of emotions all day. I couldn’t even concentrate at work.” He laughed. “I mean, I’m often distracted at work but that’s not the point.” His smile returned. “But it’s okay that you’re a bit overwhelmed. That’s why I thought for dessert we could just have some cake and you can pick a movie and we’ll just veg out in front of the TV.”

Jackie

The way he held her close as she talked about all the emotions that were overwhelming her made her heart swell even more. "I don't know how you managed to do it, keeping something in like this." She laughed, "God I would have wanted to tell you as soon as I got the ring, if I were you." Her fingers started to brush through his hair. His next words though made her expressions soften. "Patrick...goodness you really did think of everything didn't you? You know me so well. I promise though that I'm overwhelmed in the best way though." A bright smile on her face, "A kind of happy I didn't even realize was possible."

Patrick

He laughed as Jackie talked about him keeping it a secret. “I bought the ring before I went away undercover but I wasn’t sure when I was going to ask you until I was away and realised I wanted to ask you sooner rather than later. Then when I got back I went to Nate and asked him to help me get in contact with your parents so I could let them know that I was asking you and that I couldn’t wait to meet them in person soon. Then I just had to get the balls to actually ask you!” His head tilted slightly towards Jackie’s fingers and Patrick smiled. “I know. I just know how I felt getting myself to a point to able to ask you so I knew how much it would be for you, especially since it was a surprise.” His smile grew even bigger. “You are, and always will be, my everything. I just want you to know that.”

Jackie

Jackie's heart melted, "Oh Patrick that is so cute, I could just melt!" She gushed, her bright smile only grow. "You got to talk to my brother and my parents?" Jackie hid her face against his chest for a moment, trying so hard not to squeal. "Oh my gosh I bet they were so happy to meet you." She mumbled before finally picking her head up to meet his eyes. "I love you so much you know that right? You did it perfectly, this all went so well. And the fact that you've had it for that long?" Jackie sighed happily, "Thank goodness we have a whole night together so I can just feel all of these amazing feelings." A soft laugh escaping her, before she finally kissed him again. "You are mine too, my whole world. You always will be."

Patrick

Patrick blushed behind his smile. “I even FaceTimed with them so they could see my face. It’s much harder to impress with just my voice,” he teased. “They were really nice and I think your mother really likes me. I’m not sure about your father but he did smile a few times so I must have said something right.” He pressed a kiss to her hair when her face hid against his chest. “I know. I love you too. But it’s always nice to hear you say it,” he replied with a grin. “I can always call in sick tomorrow if we need more time to feel these feelings.” His laugh mirrored Jackie’s before their lips met again. He knew he’d never get tired of her kisses.

Jackie

"They got to see your adorable face? You must have just won them over as soon as their facetime connected." She teased, her thumb brushing along his cheek." Just the sight of his smile never failed to make her want to melt. "Oh really? That is perfect! I just spoke to them the other day and they let off no hints at all! They must have been determined to make this perfect too." Her smile grew when he kissed her head. Her eyes lit up though at what he said next. "I could have a whole second day to cuddle with my soon to be husband?" She asked hopefully "I think I can take the day off too." There were only a few private lessons she had, but those could always be rescheduled. Especially for a day that she could get to spend with Patrick.

Patrick

“I think your mother might have actually swooned,” he teased with a smirk. “It might be the reason why your father might not like me so much. But I told them when I was going to do it so I guess they didn’t want to ruin the surprise by telling you beforehand.” He shrugged. “I feel like I deserve an extra day with my wife-to-be, especially after being away from her for so long. I’m sure the captain will forgive me.” If all else failed, he could always just make up the time somewhere else. “Maybe we should take him some food though, just in case.”

Jackie

Jackie couldn’t help but chuckle, “I don’t blame her, with that charm and award winning smile.” That smirk made her eyes wander down to his lips for a moment, “You are never fair.” She mumbled before continuing, “I’m sure he will warm up to you once he meets you though.” Her hands moved down to rest on his chest, “He will have to but I will gladly break out some cookies and puppy dog eyes to really remind him how important this extra day off is.” She thought, remembering what his favorites were. “But I think me being sad about you being away too long should make him say yes in a heart beat. I gave him so much trouble when you were gone.”

Patrick

Patrick shrugged. “I swear I didn’t mean to charm her but sometimes I just can’t help it.” The smirk morphed into a large grin. “I hope so. I’m excited to meet them both in person.” He really couldn’t wait to spend time with what were now his future in-laws and learn more about what Jackie had been like as a child. “I think the cookies and puppy dog eyes might be enough just help butter him up though. But I feel like he should have expected trouble from you for sending me away that long.”

Jackie

"Well now we need to go see them soon, especially when there is such great news to celebrate!" Her own grin matching his, "There is so much for me to show you and just so much to do there." But she nodded at his mention of cookies, there were a few recipes that she new could be put together pretty quickly. "Cookies and puppy dog eyes it is. At least for tonight we are free right? We can enjoy that cake and cuddle up together. I bet you made an amazing choice with the cake too."

Patrick

“We might as well make a big trip of it and make it a road trip. I’m overdue to take some time off anyway.” He nodded. “I can’t wait to see all of your favourite places from your childhood.” Patrick gave Jackie a quick kiss before nodding again. “Definitely. I’m not even on call so nothing can pull me away from cake and cuddles with my beautiful fiancé. I went with the traditional chocolate cake because it’s always a good choice.”

Jackie

Jackie's eyes lit up all over again at the idea, "Yes please! We can get all our favorite snacks, make a playlist...oh it'll be amazing!" She clapped her hands together for a moment before resting her hands on his chest again."There are so many great things to show you, even an Italian place you'll love." Jackie rambled on before sighing, "Not even on call? Oh that's perfect." She couldn't help but reach up and steal another kiss. "The best choice, nothing else could compare." Finally glancing down to the box on the floor, chuckling softly. "I think we may have forgotten one thing."

Patrick

Patrick loved the way Jackie’s eyes light up she talked about their future trip. “I’ll handle the snacks, you handle the playlist.” If there was one thing Patrick knew he could handle, it was buying way too much food. “I do love myself some Italian.” He replied with a grin. “One of the guys owed me so they’re on call for tonight instead.” His eyes followed Jackie’s down to the box on the floor and he laughed before bending down to pick it up. “Yes, I feel like this was the most important part.” He was still chuckling as he removed the ring from the box and gently placed it on Jackie’s ring finger. “Oh wow, it actually fits! I really wasn’t sure about the size so I let the lady at the jewellers pick the size for me. I must call and thank her!”

Jackie

"Perfect, the most perfect pair actually." She felt like she would be in this wonderful mood for forever after tonight. She was happy about anything and everything. Already making plans in her mind for them. "I may need to make cookies for him too." Jackie gladly held out her hand for him to put on the ring, feeling her heart swell all over again. "Not only does it fit but it is so beautiful!" She gushed before bringing her hand up to admire the ring. "It was just meant to be was't it? I'll have to thank her too. I swear this is better than any ring I could have imagined." Finally her eyes moved back to his, "But I think I love it so much more because you picked it."

Patrick

Patrick loved thinking about their future together and all of the fun and amazing things they would get to do together. “Maybe we should just make a batch for the whole station.” Seeing Jackie wearing the ring he had bought was such an amazing feeling. He still couldn’t believe she’d said yes. “I’m really glad you love it. I looked at so many different ones and the lady mentioned that I can customise a ring if I want because nothing was quite right.” He smiled as their eyes met again. “Well, whenever you’re ready, let me know and I’ll cut us some pieces of cake and you pick the movie for us to watch. I really just want to cuddle with you all night.”

Jackie

Jackie nodded, a bright smile still on her face, "That would be perfect, we'll have to try our best not to get too distracted by each other though." She teased, really loving any chance she had to bake with him. Hearing the story of him picking the ring though warmed her heart. "You really did all of that?" Jackie sighed happily, "You are warming my heart. You made such a great choice, I love it. It's like it tells so much of our story on it's own." She glanced down at the ring again for a moment, before nodding. "Yes, yes as much as I'd love to stay in your arms I'll be back there soon." Jackie said before laughing softly, "Maybe choose a cute rom com or Disney movie to bask in all these emotions." Finally pressing one more quick kiss to his lips before heading into the living room.

Patrick

Patrick grinned. “I can’t help but get distracted by you.” As much as loved learning about cooking with Jackie, he knew it took him much longer than it should because he was so easily distracted by her. “I did. I just wanted the ring to be perfect. I know everybody says that the ring isn’t what’s important but since you’re going to be wearing it for the rest of your life, I really wanted you to like it.” Smiling after Jackie, he headed into the kitchen to cut two pieces of cake before following her into the living room. “So, what did you decide?” He asked as he handed Jackie her piece of cake and sat down beside her.

Jackie

"Well I love it, so much. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite things ever. Next to you of course." She teased. Setting up the couch for them, getting their most comfortable blanket so they can really relax and enjoy the movie. Finally she was scrolling through Disney+ when he came back in. Patting the spot next to her before she took the plate. "Oh babe, this looks so good." Not being able to help but wiggle from excitement in her spot. "Oh yes, movies." She said after another moment, "I was tied between Mulan, The Little Mermaid or 13 going on 30."

Patrick

“You’re definitely still my favourite thing,” he replied with a soft smile. Somehow Jackie just made him so soft and loving. Her wiggle of excitement turned his smile into a grin as he leant over to kiss her cheek. “Have I told you that I love you today? Because you are the cutest!” Listening to the movie options, Patrick hummed to himself for a moment. “I think such a cheesy and romantic night calls for a cheesy and romantic movie. Let’s go for 13 going on 30!”

Jackie

Jackie couldn't help but pout for a second before caving and smiling, "You are so cute you know that right? You are making my heart melt!" When he kissed her cheek her own smile grew even more. "I think you've said it a few times today, but I wouldn't mind hearing it a few more times." Finding a blush quickly growing on her cheeks. "You're even cuter." She complimented, "I totally agree, cheesy and romantic is perfect. I'll try not to melt from all the cute." Jackie gushed before pressing play then taking a bite of the cake. "Oh now this makes today even more perfect."

Patrick

Patrick grinned at Jackie’s pout. She always looked so incredibly cute. “I’d apologise but I’m not sorry,” he replied with a shrug. “I love you, Jackie. I can’t wait to enjoy forever with you.” He leant over to kiss Jackie’s cheek again as she blushed and nuzzled into her neck. “Let’s just stay here forever in this moment, okay? I want to enjoy this cheesy and romantic night forever.”

Jackie

“I suppose I can forgive you.” She teased with a smile, it felt hard to not have one on her face after tonight. “I love you too, my darling. It’ll be the best forever. I wouldn’t want to enjoy it with anyone else.” Jackie hummed happily as he nuzzled against her neck. One of her hands moving into his hair to hold him closer to her. “Can we please? I think we deserve for it to last as long as possible. In our happy little bubble.”

Patrick

“Well that’s good because I wouldn’t want to lose you.” Her smile was so infectious and it always made Patrick want to smile. “I hope so. All I want is to be able to keep you happy forever. It’s only fair for how happy you make me.” He smiled against Jackie’s neck and nuzzled even further in. Just laying here with Jackie and being able to inhale her scent was a wonderful feeling. “Perfect, it’s settled then. We’ll stay here forever.”

Jackie

“Don’t you know you’re stuck with me?” She teased, not being able to help but lean in and kiss his head. Feeling his smile against her next made her heart feel like it grew multiple sizes. Her fingers starting to move through his hair, “You have done an amazing job of it and you will continue to. I just know it.” She assured, loving the feeling of being this close to him. “Forever and ever?” She teased before cuddling closer to him.

Patrick

“I am? Well, I guess I’m okay with that,” Patrick teased back, smiling when he felt her lips on his head. His eyes closed as her fingers moved through his hair. She always had a knack for making him feel so safe and loved. “Good, that’s good.” Patrick loved whenever he got to be in their little love bubble together and we’re able to disappear from the world for a moment. “Forever and ever.”

Jackie

“You think you can manage with that?” She was quickly feeling herself get lost in their little bubble. All of this still felt like a dream, like she had to pinch herself to make sure it was all real. “I wouldn’t want it any other way. If anything I wonder if forever and ever would even be enough time for me to have with you. I think I might just need a little more.” It was true though, she would never not feel like for being able to spend forever with him. She’d always hope they would have all the time together and more. And now she’d get to spend that time as his wife. It was the most amazing feeling.

Patrick

“I think I can. It will be a struggle but I’ll push through.” He laughed out loud for a moment before nuzzling into Jackie’s neck again. “Like, infinity? Or whatever it is that people say when they’re trying to win an argument about how much they love each other. I’d be okay with infinity.” It was almost like he’d known when he first met Jackie that he wanted to spend forever just getting to know her and enjoying their life together. And now they would be.

Jackie

"You are the strongest person I know." Jackie laughed about with him, before cuddling up with him again. Loving the feeling of him being so close to her, she stole another kiss at the top of his head again. She hummed as she thought of the word, "You know infinity has such a great ring to it." Sighing contently as she continued to move her fingers through his hair. "Infinity is going to the best, I just know it. So much time to make more memories, go on more adventures....and fall even more in love with each other. It'll be amazing."

Patrick

“Only because of you.” Patrick pressed a kiss to Jackie’s neck as he hummed contently at the feel of her fingers in his hair. He moved his head a little to glance down at Jackie’s hand and the ring again. “Most definitely. I can’t wait to enjoy all of the memories throughout infinity with you. For now, I think we should watch this movie to end this perfect night. And the start of many more to come.”

Jackie

"You are tugging at my heart strings..." Jackie couldn't help but hum as well when he kissed her neck, but once she felt his head moved she glanced down. Holding her hand up as well, having a feeling he was looking at the same thing she was. "I think that sounds like a perfect idea, my love. What a great start to infinity..." She pressed another kiss to his head before finally turning on the movie.

Linda is such a bitch “B-I-C-T-H in that order!” she always makes me leave A-arons house at one thirty in the morning.

Later that week A-aron and I took a seat in class. Then our teacher kept talking about China and how more then half our exports come from there.

Then A-aron went outside to vape. Karen then comes over and says give me your Juul. Then I say no Karen that Juul coast me sixty dollars. I had to get a senior to pay for it. I only work at Chilis so it took three paychecks to buy.

That night I worked and everyone at once said “Welcome to Chilis!” I just ignored them and kept walking as I usually do.

I go home then check my Reddit and Twitter fifty times to make sure I am still verified.

Part 3

The next day comes and I pick up A-aron up in my sick 2001 Toyota Camry it is beige of course only the sickest color.

We then get Karen and you won’t believe what she did… she yeeted my vape out the window! What the fork Karen! That took three paychecks from Chilis to buy.

Karen then says she hates that place and last time she ate there, they messed up he order. So she complained to the manager.

Damn Karen, I don’t need her anyway I will always have my bro A-aron. Our nights together watching Shrek 3 and Cars 2… Best movies ever! And of course, listening to our lord and savior Daft Punk on full volume.

Part 4

A bunch of kids are doing a fundraiser for Harambe and I am all for it of course “save the whales.”

And that’s why I only use Twizzlers to drink my RedBull. I don’t always drink RedBull but when I do I use a Twizzler as a straw then eat it.

Later I texted A-aron on my Nokia phone I sent him exactly 69 memes at exactly 4:20 as it is totally lit to do so every day. I said we should totally get back at Karen for throwing my Juul. He disagreed with me, then I told him to stop being such a girl. Then he says don’t assume my gender and I said look man I had no idea. Then he said you just did it again. I give up!

Then I smoked the devils cabbage and went to sleep #Blazeit

Part 5

A-aron and I made up he bought me a new Juul and said that our friendship is never ogre. So then I said #Fam! Then he and I did our secret handshake which consists a dab the woah and five different Fortnite dances.

Today I started dating Kim Vardashian she is a #skinnylegend who is also thicc with two c’s. I can’t wait till we can aggressively hug! But she is embarrassed of our love because I am a freshman and she is a senior.

I think today is the day I try out for the school play we are putting on the production Mulan 3. I want to play the part of Simba.

That night for dinner A-aron and I got Subway #I’m lovin’ it, it was mmm… mmm… mmm… finger licking good. Then we bought two cotton candy Juul cartridges from Kim and vaped all night.

Part 6

My Nokia phone stopped working so I went to the closest Radio Shack and got a brand-new Blackberry with a slide out key pad. It was very dope!

Since it was Saturday I went home and hardcore gamed on my Tamagotchi. It died ☹… it was sad until a new one came, and I bought all the snacks for it!

Kim is such a slut she broke up with me and told me she was only dating me because I have a job and gave her money to buy stuff from Gucci. Then she told me 20$ a week was not cutting it. Then I told her that’s all I make in a week. Now I also work for Walmart to make more money. But I guess it still was not enough for her. Damn Kim at least I have A-aron

Part 7

A-aron and Kim got together I tried telling him that she was a bitch. But the #thirstisreal for him like he is the Sahara Desert when it comes to women. He really doesn’t care but I will be there if his heart gets broken.

Today is also my cousins 18th birthday and he is getting a tattoo. Its going to be a 95 the 9 is going to be a butterfly and the 5 is going to be a bee, and under it will say float like a butterfly sting like a bee Kachow -Lightning McQueen

He is actually going to get two tattoos the other one is going to be a glass of milk, swiss cheese, yogurt and under that one its going to say #legen-dairy #veganforlife. He is also getting Gingy from Shrek slippers

Part 8

Karen got hit with a tour bus!!! We rushed her to the hospital and to the psych ward cuz she cray cray.

Its been a month since A-aron and Kim got together I am very surprised. We all visited Karen today and then Kim said they were expecting. Then Karen said boom pregnant.

Apparently, the baby is going to be a reincarnation of Donald Trump and the baby is going to be huodge. But this is all according to Karen. But it seems legit, so I believe it.

I’ve been taking care of Karen’s dog Lo-Maine. He wares a Supreme hoodie and a Rolly on his wrist and even has Jorden’s and I must dress him every day #1stworldprobs.

Part 9

Karen got released today from the hospital and to celebrate she stole her moms ID and went to Iowa to celebrate. She then sent me a video of herself, “Hi my name I Kendall and I am here in Cedar Rapids once again asking for your support.” Your support for what I thought but then I saw it Kendall Landers-Linton 2020 president, Kendall must be her mom’s name.

Kim is now 5 months prego and still hanging on strong and everyone helps her with stupid shit like the teachers tell her she can have extensions on all her assignments. So unfair I get an erection every hour and I don’t get extensions on anything except my dick.

Who would vote for Karen I mean she looks like a 40-year-old woman, but she’s crazy to think that they won’t figure out that she’s just 20 and a senior in high school.

That day was crazy, so I went on my computer and watched my extra special anime movie if you know what I mean 😉. Jerked the turkey for 30 minutes and felt way more relaxed after my little session thank god for Japanese henti.

Part 10

Today we watched the Sanic the hedgehog movie it was the best movie ever in the movie Shrek and Sanic have a relationship. They end up getting married and having aggressive sex while listening to all of Smash mouths songs. Then they had hedgehog ogre hybrid babies they were so ugly that they were cute.

I later sat in class with A-aron he said that after watching that Sanic movie that he wasn’t sure if he was ready to be a father. Because Shrek and Sanic made for a really good couple and were good at raising their kids. I told him not to worry and that if he watched all the Shrek movies and played all the Sanic games that he had already learned all he needs to about fatherhood. He felt relieved after I said all that, he said it was good that he did all the necessary research we then dabbed and then the bell rang.

Kim went into labor at lunch it was really disgusting, but interesting because all these people came, and our school nurse Joe Biden delivered the baby. Kim decided to name her son Boe Jiden after Joe Biden’s name, the school nurse was in tears until he saw another baby coming out. It’s a girl!!!! Kim named that kid Karen Jr. after her best friend. It was amazing then I told A-aron that his sperm must be made of steel since he had two kids, he then punched me in the arm no homo though.

Part 11

All of the sudden another baby just shoulder dropped itself out of Kim. It was a boy!!! "I will name this one Jim Cenass" (all of the sudden from the corner you here horribly played kazoo it plays the John Cena fan fair) do do do do... it's that new transfer student Korona Tortilla Vanbargen Sale Pool Noodle the 4th KTVSPN4 for short. Jim Cenass starts waving his hand in front of his face as of to say you cant see me then he just goes ham on our school nurse Joe Biden. The principal Jeb Bush had to break up the fight. Then Jim started fighting Boe and Karen jr. It was something else.

Our new transfer student KTVSPN4 is very strange she kinda keeps to herself but at least she made friends with Kim and Karen. She's from China and is such a cry baby she keeps complaining that her sister died of this weird disease. But other then that been helping A-Aron with his three babies Jim is a handful and we have to keep him away from the others but it's kinda hard now because they have already started calling and Jim can walk.

Part 12

Today I was just sitting in Chillery Hiltons history class when all of the sudden I heard loud noises coming from above me. Then Boe and Joe just shoulder dropped onto the teacher it was very strange. Thankfully Chillery is going to be ok!

Later that day Kim's babies are getting baptized by our local priest Dr. Phil. Jim was not having it and started going ham on Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil then say y'all need Jebus in your life. Phil then #getsrektmydude. And Bylieye Eyelash starts playing her song I'm the Evil Man which was perfect for the occasion.

We all had an assembly today our principal Jeb said it was to recognize great teachers in our school. "Best dance teacher Shreckira" Shreckira goes up and can not hold herself together it was major aco taco.

"Lane Jinch for best gym teacher" Lane goes up and says "I know I'm the best." "Sernie Banders best public speaking teacher" Sernie goes up and gives a 50 page long speech how he doesn't deserve this. "Steve Harvey for best health teacher and guidance counselor" Steve then goes up and starts talking about how important college is and the birds and the bees. And last but not least "Beyonce for best music teacher" Beyonce comes up and starts singing my Heart will go on by Celine Dion. Jeb then says please clap!

Part 13

Today Karen got Lo majne trained to be a service dog naturally every one at school wanted to pet lo majne. Karen was like "I'm working bitch" so we all backed off because Karen is crazy!

Today I went to the super market and you know your boy broke yo. So I tried to take some stuff you know and you will never believe what they did. They tried to arrest my ass I dont deserve this I'm broke and now they want me to go to court. Like type 2 diabetes ain't no body got time for that. My lawyer says they will fight for me they dont have a gender and they call themselves foxy Roxy. Hopefully foxy Roxy has my back and we win.

Hey I'm foxy Roxy I usually work at a drag strip club and men eat me up. Just when you thought your husband was straight oh no honey he ain't. I make about 10million pennies or should I say 10 million penis's every show and I live in a trailer with my sweet heart wide boy and I will win this

Look at our parents!!!! They have a little age on them now. Not the babies they once were!!!!!

Ren walked into the house to meet a smiling Jason. After he kissed her cheek, he gave a little kiss to her growing stomach.

“Hey little guy,” he said affectionately to her stomach.

“You’re home so early today, I wasn't expecting you to beat me home. What’s the special occasion?”

“Because I have a surprise for you two actually.”

Jason held up a key with a seashell on it. “We’re celebrating my promotion to Corporal, by spending the weekend at a beach house.” Jason pauses for dramatic effect… “In the Hamptons!!!”

Ren gasped. “Stop joking! You got a promotion and we’re going to the Hamptons?!?!?!?!?”

“Hell yes!!! Mr. and Mrs. Brooks are in the high class now!!!”

“High class people don’t say Hell. It’s the underbelly of the Earth that is unbearably heated.” Ren said in her most sophisticated voice she could muster.

Jason snorted from laughter, causing Ren to burst out in a fit of giggles. “We’re gonna embarrass the hell out of ourselves up there, and I don’t give a damn.”

“Neither do i, and it’s not like we’ll ever see them again anyway, so we mine as well give them a show.”

He swatted Ren on her behind. “Hurry up and pack a bag. Pack lightly.”

“Do we really know any other way?”

Packing lightly is something they both knew all too well from their days of being in the foster care system. They never had much stuff at all in those days. And even if they did, a lot of the times they would have to pack and leave things behind, because of the next location they were going to. Ren remembered at one time in her life, everything she thought that was “Important” could fit in a small school backpack.

Even living in their home they did not have wall to wall things. They took a more minimalist standpoint to decorate their. home. There was one place though that was cluttered with new things right now. The baby’s room.

She packed her bag and was ready to go within 25 minutes. She thought she did really well, until she came downstairs to find Jason waiting on her.

“What took you so long?” He said with a smirk, then a sweet smile. “You’re slipping Renny B.”

“Well if you had a tiny human either jumping on your bladder like it’s a trampoline you pee or feel like you’re gonna pee every 10 minutes, you’d be slow too.”

He grabbed her bag, putting it on the back seat. “Lucky, come!”

Jas opened the door for Ren letting her get in the car first, then secured Lucky in her kennel in the back seat. And they were on the road.

Jason underestimated how long it was going to take them to get there, because of Ren’s need to frequently stop. It was perfectly ok though, Lucky needed to walk too, and this is what they would be doing when the baby made it here too.

Ren had dozed off during the ride. He glanced at her smiling. He glanced in the rear view mirror, Lucky was sleeping in her kennel. Good grief these girls. As soon as the car started moving both were horrible road trip companions.

He focused on the music playing on the radio continuing the drive.

They stopped by the grocery store to get some food, because there was no way they were eating out anywhere around there spending eight million dollars for a piece of toast and a slice of bacon.

He pulled into the driveway.

“Oh my goodness is this where we are staying for real?”

It was a beautiful two story beach house that was painted a sea foam green and white. Colors you could only get away with living at the beach. It had an adorable porch swing. Leading down to the private beach access there was a cobblestone path. The smell of the ocean and sea salt filled their noses.

They grilled steaks for dinner. Well Jason grilled, Ren lounged on the porch swing taking in the warm air and beautiful scenery.

Once all their bellies were full and content, Jason took his family down to walk along the beach. Life was just perfect. Jason couldn’t get any happier than he was right that second, his arm wrapped around Lauren, his other hand on Lucky’s leash giving her some slack to run and play in the water a little or sniff around and the unfamiliar scents. They sat in the sand to watch the sunset.

After their long walk on the beach they sat on the porch just taking in the early night. They sat on the porch swing together. Jason pulled Lauren into his arms and gently caressed her growing stomach.

“I love you Ren.”

“I love you too Jason.”

By Sunday evening they both were so relaxed and into a routine there at the beach they didn’t want to leave.

“Maybe we can look into getting a timeshare or something up here. I would love to have a place up here that we could come and bring our little boy back to play here and enjoy it. What do you think?”

“Let’s look into it and see what we can find out.”

They packed up the car. Ren was much better company for Jason on the way back. They turned up the radio singing along to it to some of their favorite songs. Lucky howled with them from the back seat. They laughed, and sang and enjoyed each other’s company.

“Home sweet home!” Jason said when they pulled up to their house.

“Just as great as the Hamptons, but without the private beach, the beach in general, the beautiful everything. I’m just messing with you, it’s pretty great.”

“At least, it’s not our first apartment.”

“You mean our first closet together?”

“It was cozy Jason. Shows us if we could survive living there in such close quarters, we were really meant to be you know?”

“I really like the way you look at things Renny B. You always try to look for the bright side. Until you, I never had anyone in my life that did that. Makes me a better man when I look at the world through your eyes.”

Could she ever be more in love with this man that she already was. And then he ups the ante.

The next day, she met Mom for lunch. Mom gave her a huge hug and rubbed her stomach.

“How’s my grandbaby?”

“Keeping me up half the night with heartburn, and I still have the worst morning sickness most days, but other than that, it’s peaches and cream.”

“How’s Jason doing?”

“He loves it mom. He’s going to be an amazing father. He already is a great husband. Even when I'm having a crappy day, he just pitches right in to help. I’ve missed work a few times, he comes home and checks on me. I don’t know what I did to deserve him Mom, he’s such a good man.”

“You deserve him because you are a good person Ren. He’s a good person. He protected you when you needed it. He will always be there for you.”

“Mom were you nervous all the time when you were pregnant, that you’d do something wrong or something was going to happen?”

“Yes it’s natural, are you eating right? Enough? Getting enough sleep, drinking enough water? Yes child, it’s perfectly natural to worry.”

Ren teared up. “It’s crippling at times. I’m afraid to get out of bed some days. I just feel like something bad is going to happen.”

“Something like what Ren?”

“I don’t know Mom, just something. I’m so nervous, and I know I need to calm down. My blood pressure was up at my last appointment.”

“Calm down dear then, and stop with that salt.”

She smacked the salt shaker out of Ren’s hand as she was salting her fries.

She chuckled at Mom. “But I love fries with my salt.”

“Can’t tell me otherwise, you are really my child.”

Both laughed.

Mom took her hand across the table and squeezed it. “Stop worrying so much sweetheart. Everything will be fine.”

“Yes Mom.”

Back at work the feeling was still there as it always was, but she pushed it to the back of her brain she had to focus on work.

It was not the best day.

The hurricane had caused wide streamed panic, and flooding and people could simply barely get around. Ren was having to cover for two nurses who called out due to the weather, and Ren would probably not be relieved when her shift was supposed to be over so she would have to probably stay and work a double shift due to the inclement weather policy at the hospital.

She sent a quick text to Jason. He promised that he would get her out of the hospital when her shift was over if he had to arrest her himself. The mugshot would be worth it she thought.

The day was not getting better. One of her small little patients threw up on her. Of course being pregnant her heightened sense of smell almost made her vomit too.

She had to get the loner scrubs, however none were maternity so she just had to get a really large top so it would fit over her stomach. The huber needle she needed was not in the supply closet on her floor so she had to go to get it. Because who knows where the CNA’s were right now. Everything was a cluster at the hospital right now due to the weather. She couldn’t even remember if she’d eaten today or not.

She grabbed a granola bar from the snack stash at the nurses station as she waited for the elevator.

After a minute she hit the elevator button again, annoyed. “Good grief,” she said heading for the stairs. It was only two flights to where she needed to go. She started down the stairs. She was half way when a sudden nausea spell hit her. “Oh no not now little man,” she said covering her mouth picking up the pace. She had only made it 3 more steps when she felt her ankle roll. She tried to grab the stair rail for support to catch her, but her fingers slipped.

“No no no no no no no!!!” Ren screamed as she fell down the flight of stairs grabbing her stomach. Her world faded to black.

Jason was getting ready to head over to make sure Lauren would be able to leave when dispatch came over running to him.

“We have to get you to Presbyterian fast Brooks. It's an emergency.’

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s Ren. She needs you.”

The something bad Ren had been fearing the whole time.... had finally happened.

Presently Untitled Superbat Fic

Yes, so, I have been wrestling with this thing since July, with many starts and stops, and no title to be found (at this rate it really may end up being called “2 Idiots Sitting Around Figuring Stuff Out”), but there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, for this first half, Clark’s POV, anyway.

Anyway... It’s DCEU, post-Justice League, and really is just Clark and Bruce sitting around talking--about Harvey Dent, about how Smallville celebrates the 4th of July, with side trips into Alfred headcanon and references to recent JL undercover missions, and there will be a special cameo appearance at the end of part two. But this is part one, so it’s only Clark, Bruce, and Martha Kent. I don’t even want to contemplate the Bruce POV half right now...

“Clark: Chapter One”

He might not feel the heat and humidity like everyone else, but Clark could still enjoy a nice cool shower that sluiced it all away at the end of a long day. Now, if he could have a quiet night with no emergencies, no crisis anywhere, he would chalk that up as a small blessing. He knew better than to count on that, however.

He had changed into cargo shorts and a white t-shirt, and was weighing the pros and cons of rocky road versus Chunky Monkey, when his mom called.

“Clark! Clark! Turn on the Weather Channel!” she told him before he could even say hello.

“What?” He found the remote and scrolled through the channels, wondering what was up with the note of hilarity in her voice.

“Just turn it on, sweetie. You’ll see.”

He found the channel, tuning in just as a woman standing by a fountain in downtown Metropolis was saying, “Couldn’t he, like, tilt the axis of the Earth, or something?”

What? “Ma, what is this?”

“They’re asking people on the street what they think Superman should do about this heat wave.”

Oh for… Now a guy was saying he’d heard Superman had some kind of freeze breath, so why didn’t he just fly around and blow on everybody. Another was saying, “How about if he fixed the Moon so we always had a total eclipse going? That bleep’s bleeping cool.”

“Is this real life?”

“Guess it is, sweetie,” Martha said, laughter still running through her voice. “Guess you can’t blame folks too much. It’s a bad summer.”

Growing up on a Kansas farm, Clark was only too familiar with the weather as adversary. If it wasn’t too hot, it was too cold. There was either too much rain, or not enough. And if, for one rare moment everything was exactly right, ten minutes later a thunderstorm would come roaring out of Colorado to send tornadoes tearing across the landscape.

“Yeah, I don’t blame them,” he said. He did press the mute button before he got too boggled by the suggestions people had. “You know I’d do something if I could.”

“I do know, Clark. Don’t fret about it now.” She sounded like she was rethinking calling him. “I just thought you’d get a kick out of it.”

“Mom, it’s okay. It is funny. It’s just,” he shook his head, “I’m not sure how much good it would really do if I flew around blowing on everyone.”

Now she had a smile back in her voice. “Yeah, that does call up an interesting picture. So,” she let out a breath, “how was your day?”

He told her about it, the highs and the lows, most of it pretty routine. “Just a one thing after another kind of day,” he finished up.

“Uh-huh.” His mother had a note of skepticism in her voice now. “Bet those folks you rescued off that roller coaster didn’t think it was no big whoop. We watched it down at the diner. There were some mighty big smiles when you got everybody back down on the ground.”

“Yeah, that was pretty good,” he admitted, remembering the looks of fear that had given way to relief when he arrived on the scene. Moments like that were a joy. They were a huge help whenever he longed for the days he could help people and not have it be breaking news. There was no turning back time, though, and things probably never had been as simple as he liked to remember them. “Did you have a busy day at the diner?” he asked, hoping to change the subject.

“Oh, smooth,” his mother teased, a smile still in her voice. He could hear her moving around, the creak of the screen door that told him she’d gone out on the porch, and a soft patter that sounded like rain. “Well, Pete Ross came in and said he felt like changing things up, so he ordered a club sandwich instead of his usual BLT.”

He laughed now and shifted the phone to his other hand as he went back into the kitchen. “Sounds like exciting times.”

“Oh, yeah, things are hopping here all right.”

“Is it raining?”

“Little bit. Supposed to be a cold front coming down from Canada. That’ll help.”

And it would soon be August, with the end of summer looming not too far off, and harvest time coming up fast. Clark already had time scheduled to get back home and help out with that.

“So,” she was patting the porch swing, calling the dog to her, “have you talked to Bruce?”

Oh boy. “I have talked to Bruce,” he confirmed as he opened the fridge. A BLT sounded pretty good, actually, and he checked to see if he had all the fixings on hand.

Infinite patience in her voice, his mother prompted, “About?”

“About…three days ago.” He got out the bacon, checked the lettuce and tomato was fresh. “He wanted some input on the Justice League logo. The headquarters is going to look pretty snazzy when he gets it all pulled together.” Ah, there was the mayonnaise, way at the back.

“Clark Joseph Kent, you know that’s not what I’m talking about.”

“Mom…” He sat down at his small kitchen table, white Formica trimmed in red, and wondered how hard he could bang his head against it without breaking it. “It’s not that easy.”

The pattern of rain sounded louder in the background as his mother said “Looked pretty easy when he was visiting us. Ask me, you two already went out on a couple of dates. You just need to make it official.”

Clark doubted Bruce would share that viewpoint. Then again, Bruce had been known to surprise him--on a pretty regular basis, actually. After all he hadn’t expected him to show up in Smallville to celebrate the Fourth of July with them. That had been one of a hundred things they had talked about during a stakeout on a rainy Gotham night back in March. He’d never thought Bruce would remember, let alone actually follow up.

He thought about that night a lot. He had been surprised at the invitation to join Bruce, and had been ruthless about clamping down on the thrill of excitement that shot through him. It was because his x-ray vision and super hearing made him useful, he reminded himself. Nothing more. If Bruce had occasion to stakeout an aquarium, he’d call in Arthur.

Although why Bruce would ever put an aquarium under surveillance Clark could not have said. Nor had he expected anything but the most cursory information and instructions about the current job. Sit, watch, listen, report what he picked up. He’d been proved wrong as soon as he located Bruce, parked across the street from the Iceberg Lounge.

Bruce popped the passenger door and waved him over. As always, decked out in designer duds, Bruce looked like he belonged on the cover of GQ. Even the top buttons of his shirt were artfully undone. Clark, in jeans and a plaid shirt from the Tractor Supply store in Smallville, had a brief thought of being that thing that wasn’t like the other. It was there and gone in and instant, though. All Bruce had ever said was to once inquire if he’d die if he didn’t wear plaid. When Clark quipped back, “Don’t know, maybe,” he’d heard no more about it--but he had glimpsed Bruce biting down on a smile.

“Don’t tell me: you’re thinking of buying it,” he said, looking over at the night club. Until recently the place had been the hottest spot in Gotham, and you had to be a Bruce Wayne or part of his entourage to get inside. Now, with Oswald Cobblepot locked up in Arkham--again--it was shut up and dark.

“Funny,” Bruce grumbled. “Is anything going on over there?”

As Clark checked, Bruce told him about information he’d turned up that Two-Face--Harvey Dent--might surface at the club to muscle in on what was left of the Penguin’s operation. That was unexpected. He had gathered Harvey Dent was an especially sensitive subject, and one that Bruce didn’t share easily. He wanted to read volumes into Bruce letting him in on this. Best to pare that down to Cliff Notes, though, he suspected.

“It’s quiet,” he reported, completing a scan of the club. “No signs of life to speak of.”

Bruce canted him a look, eyebrows raised. “To speak of?”

Clark shrugged, “Couple of rats in the kitchens.”

“Four-legged variety?”

“Yep.”

“Hhn. Health Department gave it a passing score on its last inspection.”

“And of course there’s no corruption in Gotham.”

Bruce’s only comeback was a grumpy look. He relaxed back into the driver’s seat and reached for one of two cups of coffee. He jerked his chin at the other one. “That’s yours, if you want it.”

Clark nodded his thanks and reached for it. He took a sip, savoring the flavor. Smooth and rich, not as sweet as he usually took it, but with plenty of cream. “It’s good.”

“You don’t have to sound so surprised.”

Clark smiled and took another drink, skewed in his seat so he could watch Bruce and keep on the eye on the club. “Do you do this a lot? Just sit and watch?”

“That is the definition of a stakeout.” Bruce took a long drink of his coffee, to all appearances relishing every drop like an elixir of life. Every drop that was likely strong enough to peel paint, and untouched by any taint of cream or sugar. Clark didn’t know how he did it.

He also didn’t understand his sudden fixation with that glimpse of Bruce’s throat, with watching the muscles work as he swallowed. Well, that was the story he was sticking with anyway.

There wasn’t anything sudden about it, either, if he was being honest. Clark had been struck by him that first night, at the library gala. Perry had meant the red carpet assignment to be a reprimand, and Clark had felt it. Bored out of his mind and chafing to be anywhere else, he had been ready to provoke more wrath from Perry when a sleek Aston Martin pulled up. Everything changed the instant Bruce got out of that car. Clark’s attention had perked right up and been riveted on the newcomer, the other man’s charisma sparking the atmosphere. It had called to Clark so strongly that, even without the Gotham connection, he felt he still would have sought Bruce out in the crowd.

He thought about that night sometimes. Now and then. Wondered about the what-ifs. Impossible to know if anything could have played out differently, let alone if it would have changed anything. What mattered was they were here, now, on this rainy night in Gotham, and this second chance eclipsed all the what-ifs. He wouldn’t trade this for a Pulitzer.

“Something funny?”

Clark dialed down his smile and shook his head. “Nope.”

“Hhn.” Bruce eyed him with a flicker of suspicion and set his cup back in its holder “It’s a longshot Harvey will show up,” he said, shifting in his seat. “The last solid intel on him was that he’d gone to ground over in Bludhaven.”

Clark nodded, careful not to betray any surprise that conversation had come back to Harvey Dent. Maybe he wasn’t meant to contribute anything, just be a sounding board. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained, he decided. “You’ve known him awhile.”

Bruce’s fingers flexed on the steering wheel. Nothing else betrayed any sign of tension. Seconds ticked by and Clark was ready to accept that there would be no reply, when Bruce’s shoulders relaxed a fraction and he eased back in his seat. “We go back,” he admitted. “Used to paint the town together.”

Nostalgia whispered across Bruce’s face, caught in a wistful smile as he spoke. Clark knew the facts. How Handsome Harvey Dent, Gotham’s dynamic, young district attorney brought mob boss Sal Maroni to trial, and how Maroni retaliated by splashing acid in Dent’s face, scarring him physically. How the scars went much deeper, his mind turning on him so that he emerged as Two-Face, flipping a coin to decide if someone lived or died today.

Those were the facts, stark and brutal. Clark doubted they came close to conveying the impact of the tragedy on those had cared for Harvey Dent.

Offering his sympathy was feeble, he knew, but he had to say something. “I’m sorry.”

Bruce shrugged it off, tried to anyway. “It’s a long time ago now.”

“And you’re supposed to be over it?”

“So I’m told.”

Not by anyone who really knew him, Clark would bet. Not by anyone who had experienced the loss of a loved one. Almost twenty years had passed and he still felt the ache of his father’s death at unexpected time--while working on their old tractor, or watching Patrick Mahomes throw a game-winning touchdown for the Chiefs. He didn’t know how to begin to mourn for Krypton, for the mother and father he’d never know. One of his secrets was that he even grieved for Zod, for lost chances and what could have been if only Zod hadn’t been hellbent on annihilating all life on Earth.

Time did heal, but the memories were never far from the surface.

“Could you have saved him?”

Bruce sighed, fingers tapping on the steering as he aimed a pensive stare through the windshield. “Maybe not. I’ll never know for certain.”

Since he’d made it this far, Clark edged out a bit further. “Could you have guessed he’d become Two-Face?”

Bruce shook his head. “I knew he had some...anxieties, that he had that coin flipping fixation.” His hands flexed on the steering wheel. “Nothing that prepared me for Two-Face.”

“But you beat yourself up about it anyway.”

Bruce offered him a wry smile. “He’s my friend.”

Clark nodded. He didn’t miss the present tense wording, nor was he surprised by it. Not anymore. The contrast between when they believed the worst of each other and now, when they could sit and talk like this, verged on the surreal at times.

He shifted around in his seat and took another drink of coffee, starting to feel a buzz of his own anxiety. It had been there since he came back, a creeping unease that whispered the walls were too close and confining even in the middle of the Daily Planet bullpen. Distractions helped, and he reached over to scrub at the fogged up windshield, scanning up and down the street.

“Something?” Bruce asked, tensing as if ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.

“No.” Clark shook his head, relaxed back into his seat. “Everything’s still quiet.”

Bruce gave a sharp nod, as if confirming something to himself. “I don’t think he’ll show,” he said, half to himself. Difficult to be sure if relief or disappointment threaded through the words. “We’ll give it a few more minutes.”

“Okay.” Clark watched drizzling drops of rain slither down the windshield, that random twinge of claustrophobia easing away as he concentrated on absorbing the cozy intimacy of the setting. Something else it would be best not to dwell on, and he scrambled for a new topic, prompted by a comment Barry had made in passing the other day. “So did Diana and Alfred really do the tango when you took down the Jade Jaguars?”

Bruce scootched around, eyeing him. “Someone’s been telling tales, I see.”

“Was it meant to be a secret?”

“Apparently not.” Bruce took another sip of coffee, pulled a face and put the cup down. “It was the foxtrot, not the tango, and it was part of their cover, not a celebration of the takedown…”

to be continued

Note: The idea that, in the wake of being dead, Clark might suffer bouts of claustrophobia was the inspired idea of @oneiroteuthis.

Ready For Prime Time

The federal government recognizes ten holidays each year. They are on the calendar, and, depending on your job, workers can expect some type of accommodations and even time off.

But to look at the real calendar, not the one blessed by the powers that be, it appears that practically every day is some kind of holiday. Take, for example, today, the 4th of October. Did you know that today is National Taco Day, and that taquerias nationwide are lining up to offer promotional discounts? And that today is also National Vodka Day? Sadly, the promotions are not quite as plentiful.

Or that last Tuesday was National Coffee Day, and Starbucks, Dunkin, and others had all kinds of nice things on offer? Sorry you missed it.

You see, while only the federal government can decree a true holiday of national import, anyone can declare a special day for marketing purposes. Jeff Bezos and his gang over at Amazon have even decided they need two days--back-to-back, of course--to mark their special occasion. Brace yourselves, folks, grab your credit card, and get ready for Amazon Prime Days on the 13th and 14th of this month.

Because Jeff said so.

I already earned a special $10 discount because yesterday I bought something from a small business affiliate of theirs, which ties into their theme of not just selling a lot of their own stuff, but also promoting the thousands of small businesses that have aligned with Amazon for everything from product listings to order fulfillment.

But wait, there’s more!

Amazon is already offering special deals today, much like many retailers have pre-Black Friday sales. Of course, Black Friday may not even be a thing this year, but you get the idea. Everything must go, because--um--Jeff said so.

Not everyone likes Prime Days, though, ranging from protesters in California, to Target, who plans their own big sale days on the 13th and 14th. Whenever I see Target trying to take on Amazon, I have to laugh, because about 20 years ago, Target actually hired Amazon to completely run their e-commerce platform because they didn’t know how to do it.

Oh, the disrespect.

But back to self-proclaimed holidays. Anyone can do this, and it is usually something done by a trade association representing multiple interests. For example, National Potato Day is 19th August. National Beer Day is 7th April (although I try to observe it year-round), and the day before is National Beef Day.

There are even special days for sub-categories of products, like National IPA Day on the first Thursday of August. The 6th of July is National Fried Chicken Day, while we celebrate pizza on 9th February. On 19th July we observe ice cream, and, oddly enough, 26th October is National Pumpkin Day. Crazier yet, the third Sunday in June is National Turkey Lovers’ Day.

And my wife just chimed in by noting that 10th October is National Handbag Day. Something tells me she might be looking for another purse. Or perhaps build shelves to display her collection. It’s only fitting.

We could spend virtually every day of the year celebrating one product, idea, or person, and sometimes multiples on any given day. Aside from the 10 we are given as official holidays, marketers have free rein to come up with anything and everything to promote their category or industry. They may not be a holiday in the traditional sense, but hey, if you can drum up sales, what’s the harm?

So I get Jeff’s Prime Day, a 48-hour holiday celebrating the world’s largest e-commerce store. He can do whatever he wants. So can the potato people, the beer people, and anyone else selling something.

In keeping with the spirit, I have hereby decreed that 4th February is National DrG Day, marking the date of my birth. It’s also the date back in 2004 when Facebook launched. If you’re around and the pandemic and all of its restrictions have been lifted, let’s join up for a beer.

And to turn the tables on all the other manufactured holidays, I’m buying, not selling.

A Forgotten Email

Finale. I don’t think it’s as long as the first two parts, but has a New Years Eve twist 😊. Happy New Year Everyone!

Part 1 Part 2 modern InuKag AU. it’s a little rushed, but I really wanted to get this posted tonight.

The rocky beginnings of their introduction were all but a distant memory for Inuyasha and Kagome. It hadn’t gone from weeds to roses over night, but at least they got along now, and the relationship was a slow bloom in progress much to the delight of certain individuals. Toga was pleased with Kagome as both an employee and possible love interest for his son. The girl was smart, sweet, but feisty. Now that they were on a good track, Toga backed off to watch from a distance.

“Everything’s been set up Toga,” Kagome began reading off her clipboard. “Caterer, bartender, servers, decorating company, music, and invitations have gone out this morning.”

“Well done Kagome!” He sits back in his chair with a smile. “Our annual New Year’s Eve Gala has always been popular with our clients and employees, but with your skills, I believe this will be the best one yet!”

Kagome blushes. “You flatter me too much. I’m just doing my best.”

He chuckles, “I speak no lies. Over the years, I’ve had many secretaries, but you are in the top three.”

Her eyebrow raises, amused. “And it has nothing to do with me dating your son?”

Toga feigns shock, “of course not!”

She laughs, knowing that a tiny bit of it lays with that fact. “Okay boss. If that will be all, I’ll see you in the morning.”

“That would be all.”

In the two weeks leading up to the party, there were a lot of things to take care of for the business. It was customary for the company to close from January 1st and reopen on the 4th to allow employees to celebrate according to tradition. The party was to usher in good luck and prosperity for the upcoming year, but also kick start the short vacation. Being closed for so many days, all orders needed to be filled, pending contracts taken care of, and end-of-year financial balancing completed. Everyone was running around and working hard to get it all done.

The one downside was the fact Kagome couldn’t see Inuyasha as often as she’d have liked. Working through lunches, one would work late, but not the other, didn’t allow for much personal time. Most days she was tired and just wanted to sleep so she’d be fine the next day. But it couldn’t be helped because of their positions. This was her first time having such heavy responsibilities, though it was nice to know her boss appreciated what she did.

‘Did you get your dress yet?’ Inuyasha messages Kagome a week before the party through the intra-office system.

‘Not yet. I was going shopping this weekend to find one. Why?’

‘It’s not me. My… mom did.’

‘Your mom??’

‘She wants to take you shopping, something about making it a girl’s day.’

‘…..’

‘I know. Want me to have her call you?’

‘Um. Okay.’

‘Cool. BTW how is the report coming?’

‘Bringing it down by lunchtime.’

‘Perfect…’

Within 15 minutes of logging off with Inuyasha, Kagome’s cellphone rings. It was his mother, Izayoi. A sweet and sprightly woman that Kagome adored from the moment she met her, and it was obvious the feeling was mutual. Izayoi insisted on taking her out on Saturday to do her nails and find a dress for the gala, saying something about the whole family matching. Of course, Kagome tried to respectfully decline. She didn’t want to appear as though she were taking advantage of them, but Izayoi swiftly dismissed the girls worry. A mom always wants the best for her son, the woman had put it, and as far as she was concerned, Kagome was already a part of their family. Kagome spent the rest of the afternoon wondering just what did Izayoi have planned.

Asking Inuyasha was of no help. That evening during a late dinner, the man simply shrugged his shoulders and said his mom knew his clothing size and would have his outfit prepared and ready before the dinner. He had no idea what it would look like. Oh well, it wasn’t such a bad thing, Kagome guessed. Based on everything Inuyasha had told her, and from her own knowledge of the woman, Izayoi had good tastes, so there shouldn’t be anything to worry about.

The rest of the week blows by soon enough. Things at the company were moving right on schedule. All the orders that needed to be filled would be finished with time to spare, and the accounting department was finishing up the reports. The business had done well that year, finishing with a net profit that exceeded their annual projections. In fact, aside from just having a lot to juggle, the only real issue that came up was the caterer unable to find a specific new year’s ingredient. Luckily for Kagome, and with Toga’s approval, they were able to find and fly it in from another country. Crisis averted.

On Saturday morning, Izayoi picks Kagome up around 10am. First, they had any early lunch to fuel their plans for the day. Next stop was nails, pedicures, and facials. Kagome had to admit that it was a nice, relaxing break. It had been awhile since she’s ever had the works done like this. In fact, the last time was probably back when she and Sango were still in college as a way to de-stress after finals. She wasn’t very fond of wearing fake nails, preferring to keep hers short to make typing easier, but for the holiday, it would look nicer. So, when it came time to choose the style or color, Kagome allowed Izayoi take the reins. A white base with reddish and gold accents, perfect for the New Year’s good luck tradition.

It was at that point, as the chauffer drove them to their final destination, that Izayoi told Kagome of the type of dress she was hoping to find.

“Back in the old days,” the older female muses, “we would wear fancy kimono and elegant head pieces to such events. But times are different now.”

“Really?” Kagome tips her head in confusion. It was becoming rare in these modern times for women to dress up in such a way except for very special events. She knew they may don kimono or yukata to attend New Year’s church ceremonies, but headpieces too?

Izayoi chuckles, “well, I was a Princess during those times, so it was expected of us.”

“Princess?!”

“Oh,” the woman laughs, her eyes crinkling in amusement, “Toga didn’t tell you anything about me?”

Kagome shakes her head.

Izayoi sits back, looking up as if in contemplation. “My memory sometimes fails me, but that was about 300 years ago. Life was very different back then, so much simpler. It took some getting used to all the change’s but having my family around makes it easier.”

Kagome’s jaw drops. She knew the yokai world was very different from the human one, but Izayoi was also human. How could she be over 300 years old?! The surprised expression spread across her face made Inuyasha’s mother laugh.

“My dear, you really had no idea, did you?”

Again, Kagome shakes her head enthusiastically.

“Yokai age very, very slowly. On the rare occasion that they fall in love with a human, certain things must be done so that the human can be with them.” She places a hand on Kagome’s knee. “I will let Inuyasha explain more in due time, but just know that yes,” Izayoi chuckles again, “I am much older than I look.”

“Wow…. I sometimes wondered what would happen. I mean, I knew Inuyasha ages differently from me, but I never really thought about the future and how it would affect us.”

Izayoi’s eyes crinkle, happy with Kagome’s words and tone. She could tell this girl was falling in love with her son but didn’t want to be too nosy. If it was meant to last, it will. When her husband Toga had first told her about Kagome, she hadn’t wanted to hold out too much hope. Her son rarely ever showed any interests in a female, nor did many stick-around because of his personality. Toga spoke very highly of the young woman their son was seeing, but it was only after 6 months of dating, did she decide to see who this Kagome was for herself. Needless to say, she had been pleasantly surprised.

“Does it feel better to know, things will be fine?”

“Yes,” Kagome exhales.

“I’m happy to hear that.”

The two women search through a couple of high-end stores before finding just the right dresses, not only for Kagome, but Izayoi as well. After that, they stop at a tailor and pick up the custom suits Izayoi had ordered for Toga and Inuyasha. She explained, that because of the men’s physiques, it was easier to have the suits made for them. Kagome could understand that. Inuyasha and Toga both had large, broad chests and shoulders, that if the shirt and jacket were not cut well, it would be extremely tight and uncomfortable to wear.

As Izayoi drops Kagome off at her apartment, she leaves with one final, and uncompromising message. “Our driver will pick you up at 2pm next Tuesday.”

“But the dinner isn’t until 6pm.”

Izayoi grins, “hair and makeup, my dear, takes time to perfect.” She winks, “see you then! And tell my son nothing, I want you to be a surprise.”

Kagome stands on the sidewalk, watching the car drive away. Oh boy, she chuckles and shakes her head with a small smile. A surprise for Inuyasha? It was true, this’ll be the first time he’ll see her dressed up in a gown. A beautiful gown, and one that would have taken her a month’s salary to afford on her own. She found it amusing and endearing how much effort his mother was putting into this party attire, but she guessed it was to be expected to want the best for one’s child.

For the next two days, it wasn’t easy keeping her word to Izayoi, when a certain Hanyo son was constantly bugging her to know what his mother had said or done during their Saturday shopping trip. Kagome did her best, simply saying they’d had a great time doing girly things. Inuyasha whined that his mom was meddling, but Kagome shrugged it off. That’s what mothers do sometimes. At least in this case, it wasn’t personally intrusive, but rather quite sweet.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Kagome wakes up by 8am and readies herself for the day because it was going to be a long one. She gathers everything she’ll need, expecting to not get home until the wee hours of New Year’s Day. And sure enough, Izayoi’s driver is parked outside of her building at 2pm on the dot.

Kagome gets into the car, where Izayoi greets her and explains they’ll be going to a private salon to prepare for the evening. There, they’ll be dressed, have their hair and makeup done, and any other last-minute touch-ups made. The place was nothing like any salon Kagome had ever seen before! The most she’s ever spent on her hair was a few dollars to trim it, and well makeup was something she barely wore. It was all new experiences for the young woman who’s never had someone dress her before.

Three hours fly by quickly, and before Kagome knew it, they were ready to make the drive to the hotel where the company party was being held at. When they arrive, Izayoi ushers her into a side room.

“Wait, but I’m in charge of making sure things are set up for the party.” Kagome insists on not staying in the room.

“It’s fine, I asked Miroku to step in for now. I don’t want you to appear in the ballroom until Inuyasha arrives.”

Oh geez, this woman really was hell-bent on surprising her son.

“Shouldn’t be much longer, I promise. Toga texted me that they are on their way now.”

A few minutes later, Izayoi’s phone ping’s and she leaves the room. Meanwhile Kagome waits, pacing the floor. She knew that Miroku was capable, but if anything goes wrong, it was her responsibility to take care of it. Everything wrong that could happen funnels through her mind causing her anxiety to rise, so after 10 minutes, Kagome is tired of waiting. She stomps over to the door and swings it open, running right smack into Inuyasha.

“Kagome?!”

“Inuyasha?!”

Seconds tick by when a staring contest ensues, neither able to tear their eyes away. It was like seeing each other for the first time. Turns out, Izayoi’s surprise swung both ways.

“Wow… you look so beautiful Kagome.” Inuyasha was stunned. The red dress seemed made for her. Its smooth fabric hugging her hourglass frame like it was molded to her body, while the skirt flowed free right at the thigh to allow movement. The strapless, boned corset top snuggly held her bosoms and showed… a little too much of her milky skin. Not too much for him, oh no, too much for other males prying eyes. Kagome’s hair was pinned up on one side with a decorative hair pin and miniature kanzashi pick, while the other side was twisted and wind-swept to fall in light curls draping over her shoulder.

Her face heats up into a blush. “You look pretty handsome yourself Inuyasha.” His white, double-breasted suit with red handkerchief in the pocket cut was cut in immaculate fashion. That tailor had really outdone themselves. A matching tie, and his hair polished and pulled into a high ponytail completed the masterpiece.

Inuyasha reaches out to cradle her cheek, gently running his fingers over her skin. He holds her gaze, and Kagome her breath as he leans in…

“Ah hem.” The pair stop and turn to the voice of Toga Inutaisho. “As much as I’d like to leave you two alone, that belongs for midnight.” He snickers, “we have guests arriving.”

“Oh hun,” Izayoi chuckles quietly, “there’s nothing wrong with one kiss.” She was thrilled to see that her work brought the results she’d been hoping for.

Toga laughs and sweeps in his own wife around the waist, placing a quick kiss on her lips. “Tis true my love. Alright kids, just make it quick.”

As soon as Inuyasha’s parents leave them alone again, Kagome looks back to see Inuyasha with the most pissed off look, and one she hasn’t seen since the day they’d met. She giggles, for yes, she couldn’t agree more.

“Hey,” she turns Inuyasha’s face to hers. “The moment hasn’t left… yet.”

“But that prick just had to interrupt….”

“Inuyasha…”

He stops whining, “yes?”

Kagome giggles again. “Will you just shut up and kiss me.”

The hanyo’s ears perk up and a wide grin reappears. “Screw the party and lock the doors cause imma kiss you till the clock strikes midnight…”

Greeting everyone…

It’s been a long time since you’ve heard of me but despite my shyness, I was always here. For those who don’t know, I’m Boulder

For those who know me well, I guess I have an explanation on where was I all along, maybe tell a bit about my life. To sum it up I have a pretty calm life. You rarely see me but I’m often hiding in maud’s clothes, sometimes on her turtleneck, sometimes in the belt, even some times on her belly button when it comes to sleep. We do play sometimes at hiding and seek (in which she’s becoming an expert at disguising herself as a big boulder) and being with her when she’s lonely, eating or even posing for the ask is a great time. She’s like a mama rock even to me.

I can’t believe that as I’m writing this, the blog is reaching 4 years old.4 YEARS OLD! It may be nothing for me with my 2000+ years behind me but for a Tumblr blog, it’s astounding! With all the issues I’ve heard about their site (sorry I forgot the name) and I’m so excited to see how long will it goes, I’ve heard the show will soon be ending and I’m kind of sad, I wonder if I’ll meet my old friends like Tom which I haven’t seen in centuries.

Anyway let me told you all on how crazy was the birthday party, but not in the way everyone including me would have expected…

———————————————————————————————————–

Let’s go back a few days ago at the farm. All of us were about to celebrate the anniversary in the house and Pinkie was preparing cakes, Marble was bringing a drink from her friend from that apple farm and Limestone was supervising the rest while Maud and I were… Well basically preparing ourselves. Nothing much happened, there was just at one point pinkie calling Maud for a missing product before realizing it was an error from her side, nothing special. (Keep this last sentence in mind because it turned out to be more complicated)

Then came to the party in the evening, it was amazing! Amazing knowing pinkie was involved… even tho we were only 6 (the sisters, gummy & me) it was what would you have expected for a good party to celebrate the anniversary. The music was amazing, the cake looked delicious (even tho I couldn’t eat it, I’m not allowed for my health) and the decoration was in the mood. Maybe the use of Christmas decoration was a little bit too much but that isn’t the point of the story.

To sum it up the party started on a good note: I was there, Gummy was playing with me, Limestone, Marble & Pinkie were waiting for Maud to come with a new dress she had for the occasion. But then Maud wasn’t coming as she had trouble with the dress being tighter than planned. Toward the ends, the three sisters were tired of waiting and were starting to feel hungry so they started to eat the cake pinkie baked earlier.

Remember the “missing product” earlier? Well, it was really missing, but it got taken as not missing by another product.

For some reason, Pinkie is rarely throwing out nor tidy up her stuff, but this went on another level when you realize that she never threw away the FLIM & FLAM’s energy drink that put Maud out of anorexia back when the blog didn’t exist and put the remaining in the meal she prepared for the night.

So what should have to happen happened… The 3 sisters ate the cake, Pinkie, who started eating them first at a fast pace, started to have a rumbly stomach followed by Limestone and Marble and all three started having chunks of fat all over the 3: they were pretty much as large as Maud making them looking alike shape-wise.

Maud, obviously, rushed backstair (despite not being done with her attempt to dress) from the sounds of broken chairs her siblings were doing and seeing them as large as she almost gave to Maud a dizzy feeling.

They were pretty much the flab 4 for the 4th anniversary of the blog.

Pinkie rushed to the rescue of Maud. Not knowing well her new body, she went by jumping to her. We already know how it could have ended. Maud, once she came back to her, had to teach Pinkie how to walk/waddle like she should and so is the party trying to go back to normal. Wasn’t that easy…

Since no one was allowed to eat the cakes since it was poisoned to the dismay of pinkie, they decided to pretty much order food while looking at their shape and making fun of it for some, wondering how to get get rid of it for others. At one point they even try to sit on each other’s gut in a circle (Pinkie on Maud, Maud on Limestone, Limestone on Marble, Marble on Pinkie) It was funny seeing them trying to break the chain when the ordered food came.

The party pretty much ended with everyone losing themselves to their appetite until they were too much food drunk to stay awake. Not the party everyone expected but not a bad party at the end.

Morning came, Maud and I were the first one to wake up since Maud, really used to her appetite, knew when it was time to get up before her stomach roar and force her to do so (which wasn’t the case to anyone else). As she was preparing a good breakfast for everyone. Then she realized something weird and had to call pinkie for it…

After some recall about her jumping habit and some explanation about what happened to the cake pinkie made a revelation about what has had happened to the cake.

Before eating the cake and because he couldn’t come in time because he was too far away, Pinkie sent a piece by mail to Mudbriar without telling everyone else!

Maud went pale and has a rush to come to see him and dressed as fast as possible without taking breakfast and we may never know what happened when they met.

I’m kidding, I was there…

Yes, you think I would let Maud go to Mudbriar and not having the curiosity nor the idea of sneaking inside her dress to see the spectacle and to be honest: it was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’ve known Maud for ages but NEVER, I have EVER! seen her push a little screech like the one she has done. It was almost sounding like something I would have expected from a reptile.

I may have to say, seeing Mudbriar in the same shape as Maud was a spectacle in itself, the then slim and a stick like looking stallion was pretty much looking like he was made from a big trunk of an oak. He had to gallop to the fainting mare and tell him he was ok an didn’t mind the change so her lady was calmed.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t as she was also feeling weak from running this far while her stomach was empty so they had to go to a restaurant so they both can revitalize their big body with some good meal for a moment.

The meal should have taken a good half an hour but it ended up taking the entire day. Not both of them eating all day but the day pretty much turned up into a “hanging out day” where they had fun and even had to have time for themselves. Twiggy even tell me how it ended up happening when Mudbriar ate the well-conserved mailed piece of cake. Pretty much he was trying to recompose himself when Maud came in. I’m not sure what were they doing when they went alone but this may not be important.

Since then Pinkie, Marble, Limestone & Mudbriar are starting to lose weight at a different rate: Pinkie despite she wishes she could be a super-fat-super-sister with Maud lose faster due to her metabolism, Lime does work-out and it seems to work, Marble didn’t mind but managed to lose at a slower rate compared to her 2 sisters, And Mudbriar, because he didn’t catch a big appetite, seems to have lost a good chunk of his fat to the dismay of his girlfriend, Maud.

As of Maud, why isn’t she has lost weight since that time she drank the potion is raising eyebrows even to me. But I presume it may be because unlike everyone else who consumed a little bit diluted in a cake, Maud drank pretty much 3 quarters of the bottle raw.

To this day nothing changed much as everyone is minding their business, trying to lose weight back to their normal selves. But lately, Maud went a little bit suspicious. She was trying to see where the Flim & Flam brothers are as of right now.

Wonder what does she want to do with those wicked scammers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a memory of the incident, I put with this letter a picture we took during the party (we decided to take the picture behind a green screen so it looks better) and this is pretty much how everyone was looking.

Maud decided to get her original clothes since the dress she tried to make was to tight at the end, we didn’t know about Mudbriar at the time and yours truly with the help of gummy was taking the picture.

On this, I end my letter by wishing you all a good day and I’ll say “see you in 4 years!” …or perhaps not! before that seems better. “see you in….. next year?”

cordially: Boulder.

The Number One Question You Must Ask for Roxys Prices

I have a comparatively major beard and I'm a late-30s professional. Located in Magaluf it could be, but this chic urban-feel club is about grown-up glam. Families have started to look for things to accomplish together that don't need to cost a good deal of money. In general, you can devote a whole evening in 1 building. Speak to your regional supercuts salon for more info on their hous of operation!They've a common menu of items so you will locate your traditional island favorite.
