favourite time of year

w/c: 1.2k

written for @kal0psi-a 's halloween collab

folding the sticky dough carefully, just as the recipe instructed, i try my best to ignore the itching in my nose in a feeble attempt to stay concentrated, but give up when it starts to irritate my eyes.

"eughh, because of you there's flour in my nose," i complain to my boyfriend, who has his chin hooked over my shoulder and very heavily leaning over me.

"hey, don't complain! have you seen my hair?" he asks, stretching his neck to show me. sure enough, his hair is more white than it is black. i rake my hand through it before he can say anything, my dough covered hands clumping his hair together as an avalanche of flour sprinkles all over my chest.

he screeches, jumping back from me and i quickly use this chance to start running, because based on previous incidents, there's a 90% chance he will chase me relentlessly.

his cough from across the kitchen halts my escape plan, "are you happy now? i have flour in my nose too," he complains.

i watch in amusement as a cloud of flour puffs around him in the shape of a mushroom as he sneezes heavily, looking quite literally like a cartoon character and quickly near him to snap a picture. this will do nicely for the autumn section in this year's album.

since we started dating, tetsuro and i have been taking photos of one another, which we organise into albums by year, separated by season. it started when he gave me an album on our first anniversary, now, 6 years later and married, putting together an album of the past year has become tradition. each season we do an activity that correlates with the vibe, and today, we're making pumpkin pie with halloween shape indents because really, what else comes to mind when you think of fall?

i laugh loudly at the photo i took, his face caught mid sneeze, and it seems to flick the switch deep within tetsuro that i thought i had flicked earlier, and his feline gaze snaps to mine, before lurching forward in an attempt to catch me. i move just in the nick of time and run to the other side of the bench. he chases me until we're playing cat and mouse around the bench like children, slowly stalking one another as the other makes it as though they're backtracking but running forward instead.

"give up, wicked witch!" he exclaims, putting his right hand on his heart and holding the other outwards as he closes his eyes, apparently overwhelmed with emotion, "it is i, prince tetsu-" in the midst of his theatrics, i move in for the kill. his need for dramatics is most definitely his achille's heel, i think as i stab him in the hip with my fingers, and he yelps, opening his eyes only to find the mouse catching the cat.

"and the wicked witch of fall wins!" i yell, jumping up and down, getting flour all over the hardwood floors.

"fine, this round goes to you. your reward? a magical kiss from your prince charming," he says, leaning in and halting my celebration.

"the prince kisses the witch? haven't heard this fairy-tale before," i mutter before he silences me by placing a soft but unhurried kiss on my lips. my hands automatically make their way around his neck, and i lean back slightly as his hands firmly hold my waist, providing protection and support even in a moment as miniscule as this. in the glow of the autumn sunset, painting our kitchen with a golden hue, with the man i love in front of me, everything is perfect. we break off, his forehead leaning on mine, neither of us moving away.

"this is our fairy-tale, with its own happy ending."

looking up, I'm met with his golden brown stare, the small specks of gold especially visible in this lighting, practically glowing. his white turtle neck hugging his form nicely, and his raven hair sprinkled with flour, i can't help but wonder if this is what we're going to be like in the future, when we've lived our lives, and grown old together; the only indication of our age being the salt and pepper hair, and the slightly more prominent lines around our eyes from spending a lifetime of smiling.

because that's how it would be, i think, to have tetsuro next to me for eternity, to smile and to laugh every day.

he has to kneel down considerably to reach my lips with his own, to rest his forehead on mine, but the look on his face and the emotion in his familiar, beautiful eyes reflect nothing but comfort and content, genuine even as he says stupid and cliché things. in a way, he’s promising me nothing but a life full of the music of our happiness.

"i love you, witch," he whispers, as if afraid to ruin the moment by speaking.

i kiss him again, before pulling out my secret weapon and dumping more flour over his head. "love you too, prince!" i screech as i run away. i hear his chuckles as he chases after me, muttering empty promises of revenge just as he did before, and every other time, and hopefully, if my luck holds out, every time after.

---

"okay, nod gonna lie, dis ith really goo-dh" i say, speaking with a mouth full of the pumpkin pie we finally got around to baking.

i watch him snap a photo of me, smiling through my full mouth, knowing full well i have pie all over my mouth and teeth.

“you’ve never looked better, babe,” he says, chuckling, before trying it himself, moaning through his full mouth, "oh mhy gohd." i roll my eyes as he continues, "baby, thth is fudding amathing," he says, taking another, and then another bite.

“slow it down, moron. you’re going to choke and the wicked witch is going to have to ruin her comfy position to give you the heimlich,” i say, my legs crossed on the carpeted floor with my feet nice and warm in my thick panda bear socks.

“how abouth we sthip straighd to the kith of life?” he asks, wiggling his eyebrows with a mouth full of pie.

"how about you shuffle the cards, prince? i'll pick a movie," i suggest, or rather order, raising my brows. he salutes sarcastically as he sets down his plate and goes to get our worn out deck of uno cards.

"i thought you were a witch, not a princess," he mutters once he swallows his pie.

"actually, i married the prince so that legally makes me a princess. c'mon tetsuro," i say, pressing play on a random comedy to play in the background.

with the fireplace going under the television, and our pumpkin spice and cinnamon candles lit, the room is cozy, warm and calm.

that is until tetsuro yells his profanities about me placing a 2+ on his 4+.

"THAT'S NOT ALLOWED! YOU CAN ONLY PLACE A 4+ ON TOP OF A 4+"

"since WHEN?! THIS WASN'T THE RULE LAST WEEK!" i scream back, refusing to back down. i am not picking up four cards. "i would never cheat. unlike YOU," i accuse, shoving another fork full of the pie into my mouth in defiance.

he dramatically gasps shoving a fork full of pie into his own mouth, and glares at me. i glare right back, both of us wordlessly agreeing that whoever loses the staring competition loses the uno argument. ignoring the burning in my eyes, i keep my expression neutral as i watch the tears building up in tetsuro's lashline, his right eye twitching and turning slightly red.

"YES!" i scream as he blinks, wiping his eyes and sighing dramatically before beginning to pick up six cards, unable to come up with an excuse.

i laugh mercilessly and we continue the game, which i ended up winning after he picked up another 12 cards, flashing me the 'please have mercy on me' eyes every time he reached for the deck.

"you really are a wicked little witch aren't you?" he mutters as he gets up. i snort in response, eating the last of my pie.

"i wanna another slice," he announces. "you want?" nodding eagerly, i give him my plate.

"i want a slice with a bat," i call out, referring to the misshapen shapes we cut out on the top layer of the pie.

when he came back, he halted at the door as he silently watches me set up face masks and mani-pedi equipment on the coffee table, the entire pie tray with two forks, instead of two slices, in his hands. i raised my eyebrows, and he mirrors my expression towards my makeshift salon on the floor of our living room.

we both shrug and he comes and sits next to me, picking up a face mask packet and reading the description.

"ooh! aloe vera!"

that's how we ended up watching shitty comedies all night with white face masks on and stomachs stuffed with pie.

---

laying in bed my head resting on tetsuro's shoulder and my hand rhythmically stroking his hair, i bask in the feeling of comfort and my mind being stress free. shielded from the cold night with a million blankets and the massive man sleeping next to me, with my especially cold, numb feet tucked under his thigh, i match my breathing with his easily as i follow after him into a deep slumber.

because that's what the season of autumn is about, really. taking it easy after the adventurous months that were spring and summer, to rewind and become a home-bug again as the weather cools down. and these moments with tetsuro?

these moments are what makes this my favourite time of year.

ahhh this was so, so fun!! special thanks to @/kal0psi-a for organising this entire collab <3

Thank you so much for agreeing to do this for me. My question: What do you see happening with DH♋ and I(IO♊). We're in a long distance relationship. We're planning a vacation together in January. Will we end up together? I mean, do we have a future together? Thank you😊

Dear IO, thank you for your question.

So your question is: do IO and DH have a future together? I got:

Expectation: The Sun

What will happen?: The Tower

Why will it happen?: 2ofS

Outcome: The Hermit

Hidden card/bottom of the deck: 3ofW

I'm sorry to say that the cards are not in favor of a long-lasting relationship for DH and you, darling.

The Sun is indeed the brightest card of the deck, it's full of joy and laughter. So I get it that you're expecting to have a beautiful time with DH during your vacations. And you will have your fun, like the teen movies about Holliday love. But it will not be more than that. You might settle with this person for a bit, but not for long. The thing is that you have a lot of hope and expectations for this relationship. I get that, believe me, we all imagine our love life to be a bit like a rom-com, especially if it's a long-distance one. But the reality of living with someone, the cohabitation, compromises, and adaptation you have to make are sometimes harder to make than what we imagined.

You will have a Tower moment. Something will be put into light and you will not like it. It will break your pink glasses and make you rethink your view on this relationship, shatter the illusion and perfectly constructed life you imagined. When the Tower shows up in a love reading, things will not turn out the way you expected. It makes everything that doesn't have a solid foundation in your life crumble. It's hard, harsh, fast, and painful. Like the lightning, it's striking. But the Tower moments in our life are always necessary in order to learn something about ourselves, to be more resilient, and to move on from a situation where we will be nothing else but stuck.

This is further explained by the 2ofS card. The woman in this card is blindfolded, holding 2 swords like she is guarding herself. In perfect equilibrium, in stillness, she is assessing her situation, waiting. But the thing is that she doesn't have the full picture in front of her, she is lacking some crucial information to make a just and enlightened decision. Every relationship is about balance. You're advised to remain patient and avoid pressuring yourself in making an abrupt decision and deciding straightaway that DH is the one and only. I have a sense that you're both sitting on a fence, not wanting to make waves, avoiding THE conversation about your life, your projects, and your future. The thing is that this moment will come even if you're trying to avoid it at all costs (Tower). Up to you to be prepared to face it or not (2ofS, Hermit).

But please, when the Tower moment comes, use both your heart and mind to make a decision. And don't forget to listen to your intuition. Maybe it is already trying to tell you something and you're not listening? Are you purposely heading into this relationship with a blindfold you put yourself on to avoid making a decision? Are you hoping that what you're not seeing (but most likely intuitively knowing) will go away if you do not face this challenge? Are you in denial about something? After all, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder... So you already have some clues about it.

Finally, the Hermit is encouraging you to seek all the answers you need. It is necessary for you to make a decision about this relationship in order to move forward in life (3ofW), either together or separately.

The bright side is that this relationship will help you gain wisdom (Hermit as an outcome) as you will be forced to seek your inner truth. This relationship is teaching you to value yourself, to put your needs and dreams first. The Hermit is single because he knows that he has to focus on himself, on his inner journey, on finding his true path in order to be ready for a relationship. Know yourself first. Accomplish something meaningful for yourself; learn from your strengths and weaknesses; search your light, your passion; chase your dreams; listen to your intuition; gain wisdom. Don't neglect your relationship with yourself as it is the most powerful one you can have. After all, you and yourself is forever...

I hope this reading will help you, darling. Sending much love and light to you. And don't forget to shine - Kali 🌻

Okay but two of my PvP duels made me laugh at how they ended. In one case they surrendered.

For the one that surrendered I only had Tourmaline in my hand and when I set it. I think they were running a masked deck or something because they used DH Decider. I only had spells in my hand and Gem Merchant so it was basically a bust if they summoned something high level. With the Ties that Bind skill I took down two deciders. One because of the effect and the other with Gem Merchant. I had drawn Garnet and could fuse but they had traps so I just attacked him with tourmaline where they play that trap that flips a monster down and he had two so I was flipped twice. So basically I stalled a little before they finally summoned the monster and I drew a an Alexandrite. I'm sure they were caught of guard by the Faustian Bargain combo (because most Gem Knights are normal and a lot of duelists special summon). So I won that duel out of luck.

In comes the other duelists which looks like they ran an Archfiend Deck. They placed a lot of spells and trap cards in their field most of which were equip spells due to running him with Mage Power. I had to kinda stall this but you know Archfiends. You lose life points without Pandemonium. How did I survive a turn against 4000 Atk at once? Reverse Trap (I have it in case Wall of Disruption duelists get annoying). He lost 1000 life points due to Iolite's 2000 Def. I don't know what I was waiting for as I only had Crystal in my hand but I set another monster for him to destroy. In comes the last turn and they are at 1000 points of LP and made the mistake of summoning that dice gambling goblin. I literally had to use Garnet to reduce his life points to 500 exact. In comes his turn and bye bye you lost to your own effect. I'm sorry but that has to be one of the most memorable duels to me as I had not a lot of counters.
