Ho ho ho!
Have a sneak peek of the fic i wrote for @mm-discord‘s Winterzine!
“This might sound a little strange,” he said, pulling a piece of black cloth from his pocket, “but do you mind if I blindfold you?”
Yu-hwa’s brow quirked. “That’s… a strange question. And why do you have a blindfold on-hand? Ray… are you…”
Ray’s face bloomed red at Yu-hwa’s teasing. “What?! No!! It’s nothing weird! I just…”
Yu-hwa held her stomach as she laughed at his blustering, and soon Ray was laughing, too - doubled over and clinging onto her shoulder to hold himself up. Yu-hwa wiped her streaming eyes as she eventually calmed, sweeping her hair to one side so that Ray could put on the blindfold.
“I’m trusting you not to let me fall down the stairs or walk into a wall,” she said as he covered her eyes.
“I won’t let any harm come to you, Yu-hwa,” he said softly, taking her hand. “I’ll keep you safe.”

Drawing
Ray smiled as the sound of clacking keys was replaced by the scratching of pencil on paper. He chanced a glance at Yu-hwa, watching as she drew something small in her sketch book, her brow creased as she focused.
“What’s that?” he asked, turning fully in his chair.
Yu-hwa’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with surprise that Ray had noticed her. “Oh, I was just doodling a butterfly. I’m sorry, I’ll get back to work.”
Ray chuckled and rolled his chair across the floor until he was sitting beside her. “Can I see?”
Yu-hwa shrugged and turned the book towards him, her face becoming a little pink as she glanced away shyly.
“I wish I could draw like this,” Ray said with a sad sigh. “I’m really good for nothing except hacking.”
That’s not true,” Yu-hwa told him sternly, her brow furrowed as she glared at him. “You are so clever Ray, and you know so much about flowers.” She opened her sketch book to an empty page and gave it to him along with her pencil. “Anyone can draw. It just takes practise to be able to draw well.”
Ray stared down at the blank page, his face suddenly very pale. “You... want me to draw?”
Yu-hwa grinned. “Yes. Draw something that you can see. It’s good to draw from reality so that later you can be more confident about drawing from imagination.” She tapped her chin as she thought about more things he might find helpful. “Hmm, if you draw from life, make sure you spend just as much time looking at the thing you’re drawing as you do looking down at your paper. You can’t copy something if you don’t actually look at it.” She chuckled. “I have a book full of old drawings of my shoes.”
Ray laughed, looking around the room for something he could try to draw.
“Let me know when you’re done,” she said, turning back to her monitor.
Ray moved back to his desk. He watched Yu-hwa for a bit as she focused. Her pink hair was tucked behind her ears, not the way that she usually wore it, but it was something she did occasionally when she was trying hard to concentrate. Her glasses were sitting a little crooked on her nose, but she hadn’t seemed to notice. The frames were too large for her face, but Ray knew that she would never wear contact lenses like he did. He had suggested it to her once and she had spent the following ten minutes cringing at the thought of having a foreign object in her eye. He continued to watch as her lips moved slightly as she read the words on the screen. She looked so cute, his Yu-hwa. She made him feel so happy. He turned back to the sketch book and began to draw.
“I’m done.”
Yu-hwa turned to Ray to see him smiling nervously at her.
“It’s not quite how I hoped it would look, but I don’t think it’s horrible,” he said as his face heated up.
Yu-hwa took the book from his, her eyes gazing down at the page now filled with pencil marks.
“Wow.”
It wasn’t perfect. He’d pressed down too hard with the pencil and the lines were thick and dark, but it was good. It was better than good. She recognised her own face on the paper immediately.
“I know it’s not great,” he started to backtrack. “You’re far more beautiful than I could ever draw-”
“Ray,” Yu-hwa interrupted before he could continue to self-depricate. “This is amazing. You must have drawn before.”
Ray blushed hard. “Well, I used to draw in a diary I had when I was little, but they were just simple stick drawings. I haven’t done anything like this since becoming an adult.”
Yu-hwa grinned at him proudly. “Well Ray, you have talent. Let’s draw together some time. I’d love to go to the park with you and draw all of the beautiful things we see.”
Ray smiled, his heart filled with adoration for his partner. “That would be perfect Yu-hwa. Thank you.”
She leaned over to him, her fingers softly brushing against his until they became intertwined. “Never doubt yourself Ray. You can do anything you want to, and I’ll always be right by your side. Let’s be happy together, and do all of the things that we love.”
Ray squeezed her hand gently. She wanted to stay with him, to have a future with him, to make memories with him. Right in that moment, as he gazed into her sweet brown eyes whilst feeling the warmth of her hand in his, Ray felt the happiest he’d ever been in his life.
