Peace- Matt Casey and Kelly Severide

Summary: Matt is having a hard time adjusting days after his encounter with Voight. You and Kelly are more than concerned, so you take things into your own hands. It may be extreme, but you are going with your last resort.

WARNINGS: possible spoilers for early CF, drinking mentioned, vomiting mentioned, violence eluted to

———————————

You and Kelly were worried about Matt. When you guys were at the station, Matt was putting in an effort to seem normal around the house. All though everyone could see past his façade, seeing as he was working Truck to the bone and short tempered, but nobody dared to say a thing. You and Kelly sat in the ambulance together, seeing as it was your ambulance as PIC, watching Matt run drills with Truck.

“What do we do?” Kelly finally broke the silence that had been sitting between the two of you for 20 minutes. Kelly normally knew how to deal with Matt, sometimes better than you and he was normally the point person for situations like this, but he was at as much of a loss as you.

“I don’t know Kel.” You whispered, reaching across to take his hand. “Voight did a number on him. He feels like he has to be ready and on the defense all the time. I don’t know how to reverse that.” You shook your head, squeezing Kelly’s hand.

“Yeah. My main concern is his change at home.” Kelly began, shifting toward you. “He hasn’t slept in three days, he stays on the couch while we sleep, but claims he eventually falls asleep there and is too sore to sleep with us. He barely eats or drinks anything. He never relaxes. He’s gonna run himself down or kill himself at this rate.” Kelly rambled. “It’s like we aren’t together anymore. I don’t know who he is.” Kelly wiped at the tears that were pouring down his face.

You looked up and made eye contact with Matt. You knew he saw this whole thing. You knew that even though he couldn’t hear what was being said, he knew what was going on. You ignored him in favor of the other man you loved, who was asking you for help right now.

“Baby.” You whispered, pulling Kelly into a hug. “We just have to give him time. It’ll be okay.” You said, rubbing Kelly’s back. “I’ll make it okay.”

——————————Time Skip—————————

You knew you were being extreme. You knew that if you needed Matt, he would come through. You also knew that if you got drunk, you would more than likely have a nightmare.

Around 3 am, just 3 hours after returning home from Molly’s, you laid asleep in Kelly’s arms. Matt had helped Kelly get you into bed before making sure that you and Kelly would be okay for the night. All three of you had been drinking, Matt was barely buzzed, Kelly was pretty tipsy, but you were trashed. You kept stealing shots from the bar (which you own in part), secretly going through with the plan you had plotted. Both boys were unaware of your plan or how much you had to drink. They never questioned it, just fell into caretaker mode.

You went from having a peaceful sleep to thrashing in Kelly’s arms. You flailed, smacking Kelly in the chest and waking him up. He realized what was happening pretty quickly once he heard you hyperventilating.

“Matt!” Kelly yelled out, reaching over to turn the light on.

Running could be heard coming up the stairs. Matt wasn’t sure what to expect as he took the stairs two at a time. When he stood in the doorway of the bedroom, he saw Kelly straddling your waist and you flailing beneath him.

“What’s wrong?” Matt asked, grabbing the trash can by the door before sitting next to you and Kelly on the bed.

“She’s having a nightmare. She’s drank and had bad ones before, but she won’t wake up Matt.” Kelly grunted, taking another blow from your flailing form.

“Let me try. Watch out Kels.” Matt said. Once Kelly was off of you, they could see the difference almost immediately. You started calming down pretty quickly, but still didn’t open your eyes. Matt moved closer, placing a hand on the side of your face. “Baby. Wake up for me. It’s okay.” Matt said stroking a thumb over your cheek bone. Matt repeated this for a few more minutes, watching as you slowly started coming around before your eyes fluttered open. Tears immediately started pouring down your face.

“Matt.” You gasped, pulling him into a hug. “You. You died.” You breathed out, clutching onto him in fear of losing him.

“I’m right here.” Matt whispered, rubbing your back and looking at Kelly over your shoulder. Kelly shook his head, sending Matt a look of disappointment.

“I don’t feel well.” You groaned, pulling back from Matt and covering your mouth.

“Here sweetie. Just breathe.” Matt said, handing you the trash can he grabbed. Kelly climbed up behind you, taking your hair in his hands. Once he was sure he had a grip, he leaned forward and steadied the trash can for you.

“Why did you do this hunny?” Kelly whispered, kissing the side of your head. “You know that this happens.”

You looked up at Matt and that was all the answer Kelly needed.

“This is on you.” Kelly seethed.

Just as Matt was about to ask how it was his fault, you heaved into the trash can and all the attention was on you. You gasped and panted around another few dry heaves before you started puking.

“It’s okay baby. It’s alright. We are right here.” Matt said, holding your hand and rubbing your arm. “Just let it out. You’ll feel better soon.”

“It’s okay sweetheart. I’m right here. I’ve got you.” Kelly said, trying to keep his anger at bay knowing that Matt was the underlying cause of this.

After a few minutes, the vomiting finally ceased and you were just left hyperventilating. Kelly pulled you back into him, wiping your face with his shirt, and left Matt to deal with the trash can. You still felt very buzzed and you couldn’t get your thoughts in order.

“Baby. Breathe.” Kelly said, rocking you slightly and holding you close.

“Matt. I—.” You tried to tell Kelly what you needed, but couldn’t find the words. “You. Both of you.” You managed to get out, hoping that you were making some sense to your boyfriend.

“Matt!” Kelly called. “Come here and bring a wet cloth and mouth wash, please!” Kelly yelled, knowing exactly what you needed without needing to properly hear the words.

Matt came rushing in minutes later. He had the fresh trash can in hand, mouth wash, water, wet cloth, pain meds, and a small snack in his hand. “Here baby. Wash your mouth out, drink, eat, and take some medicine before you go back to sleep.” Matt said, sitting beside you and wiping your face before placing the rag on the back of your neck.

“Thanks.” You whispered, finally coming down from your panic attack as Matt and Kelly both tended to you. You washed your mouth out before drinking some water and eating a few pretzels.

“You gonna tell him?” Kelly asked, knowing exactly what happened now.

“Tell me what?” Matt asked, perplexed to say the least.

“I miss you.” You said, shaking your head and putting your pretzels down. “And I’m worried about you.”

“Oh baby.” Matt said, reaching up to cup your face. “You could have said something.”

“I know and I feel like we’ve tried.” You mumbled, refusing to look him in the eyes. “But you’ve been dealing with so much and I didn’t want to be a burden by pressing the issue.”

Kelly scoffed, rolling his eyes at Matt and snuggling you closer at the same time. “You could never be a burden. Ever.” Kelly emphasized. “You are the best thing that has happened to us and the best part of us.”

You nodded, silently crying. You knew this had gone too far, but you didn’t see any other way to get him to stop for just a minute. “Hold me?” You asked, reaching for Matt.

Matt nodded and laid down next to Kelly. Kelly helped you crawl over Matt and into the empty side of the bed before laying himself down behind Matt. Matt was trapped between you and Kelly, just like you had wanted. You and Kelly held Matt tightly as Matt clutched you in his arms.

After a few minutes, Matt let out a long, slow breath.

“You okay?” Kelly asked Matt, rubbing his arm and leaning down to kiss the top of his head.

“Yeah.” Matt sighed. “Yeah I am.” Matt chuckled lightly and snuggled further back into Kelly. “The voices are finally quiet.”

You turned your face up to look at him. “The voices?” You asked, wondering if you were hearing him right.

“Yeah.” Matt murmured. “Ever since the Voight thing happened, I just hear his threats in my head. Then I hear all sorts of thoughts about how you guys will never be safe with me around or how the other shoe could drop at any moment. I can’t sleep or think straight. I’m so tired.” Matt said, crying into your hair as you snuggled into him.

“Matty.” Kelly murmured. Any trace of anger or negative feelings against Matt quickly vanished.

“Sleep then.” You murmured. “Everything is fine. Jay has an undercover car on us at all times. He’s personally tracking Voight. We are safe. You are safe. Please rest.” You pleaded, trying your best to convince your boyfriend.

“Promise you’ll be here when I wake up?” Matt asked. “Both of you?” He tilted his head back and Kelly kissed his forehead.

“We aren’t going anywhere.” Kelly murmured against Matt’s forehead.

“Just sleep.” You whispered, lazily rubbing shapes into Matt’s chest while he finally fell into a much needed sleep.

richard, on a friday

robbie showed annie some texts he'd exchanged with their mom. she'd asked him if he'd deletd the pictures he took of her yet and he said "of course not, i made it your contact photo when you call me."

mom: oh noooo

him: relax, you look great

mom: well thank u

him: perfect tits, cute bush

mom: i really hadn't trimmed it enough when you saw me, it was a mess, i've since done a better job

him: let me see

mom: lol!

him: take a pic of your bush for me

mom: you're so bad

him: come on, don't be shy

and she'd sent him a photo of herself in the bathroom mirror, in just a bra, smiling, posed just slightly, bush well-displayed. she'd trimmed it down to nearly a shadow, with very defined, angled edges.

him: excellent work, my only note is to take the bra off next time.

annie gave him a blowjob after that. "it's not my birthday or anything," he said, as she wrapped her mouth around him. she was very aware what she was doing -- she had to beat her mom at this.

of course, she already was beating her mom at this, and she'd casually sent robbie dozens of nudes and videos of herself fucking. but it wasn't enough to just win by a margin. she needed to leave her mom in the dust. she got robbie's cum all over her shirt and had to change before work.

ted had asked her out that night but she'd told him she would just come over and fuck him after a work event. the work event was another party richard had invited her to, a fundraiser for a nonprofit. annie wore a short black dress and a white, small pair of panties. no bra. when annie got there, she was surprised to see that richard's daughter was there too. "annie, this is my daughter sophie, this is my therapist annie," he said.

"wow, hot therapist," sophie said, grinning.

"richard has shown me some of your work," annie said. "it's really lovely."

"sophie's in the city for a few weeks as an artist in residence at AIC," richard said.

"impressive," annie said.

"not really," sophie said. "they just kind of hand those grants out. want to get a drink?"

annie was surprised but delighted by how brusque sophie was. she'd expected a wilting little soft-spoken french flower. but she was funny and vulgar and sharp.

"my dad thinks you are so smart," she said to annie. "which i know from a rich white guy sounds condescending but he really means it."

"yeah, he's a very earnest person," annie said.

"it's very sweet. my mom was the bitter acid that balanced him out. now he's fuckin' ted lasso."

"well, it seems like you're the acid now."

"i try but i don't see him much."

"that's hard. i'm close with my dad too. he lives in the suburbs but he's always coming to hang out with me and get away from my mom."

sophie laughed. "i know i have a dead mom so i'm supposed to tell you to appreciate her but my mom was kind of a cunt."

annie laughed.

"you want to do some molly?" sophie asked.

"of course," annie said.

sophie pulled her into the bathroom.

"last time i let someone pull me into the bathroom around your dad, she took a picture of my tits and showed it to him."

"very professional," sophie said, putting a pill in annie's mouth. "don't worry, if i take pictures of you i won't show my dad."

"i'm not sure i minded, honestly," annie said.

"of course you didn't," sophie said.

the night was buzzy, blurry fun. sophie often circulated away from annie, and annie made wide-eyed small talk with other people, but was always grateful when she returned. richard was mostly busy with others but winked at them a lot.

claire was texting annie, and at one point sophie caught sight of a nude claire had sent.

"i definitely didn't clock you as queer but i think france has fucked up my gaydar," sophie said. "no one is fucking gay over there. which you wouldn't think would be the case!"

"i don't know if i am, i just... i met this girl the other week and we impulsively fucked and i think it made us both question..."

"wow, the pussy was that good huh?" sophie said. "can i have her number? i haven't been properly eaten out in like a year."

"i'll give you her number, yeah."

annie texted claire. "i'm kind of busy tonight but do you want to fuck my friend?"

"female?" claire replied.

"yeah, female, very hot, kind of high right now..."

"yes" claire said. "my boyfriend is visiting home for the weekend. yes."

annie gave sophie claire address and put her in an uber. she went back to the party to said goodnight to richard.

"where did sophie go?"

"uh, i kind of got her laid?" annie said. "sent her to a female friend's place who was kind of in the mood."

"well, you two are already fast friends, huh?" he laughed. "have a great night, i'll see you on monday!"

annie took an uber to ted's place. he'd taken a pill, and they fucked hard on the couch, annie's dress still on, panties pulled aside. annie came three times on his cock, and ted finished twice inside her. annie was a mess, and took a long shower after. when she got out, she had texts from claire -- pictures of sophie nude in her bed. annie was surprised to see that sophie was fully shaved.

surprisingly, it came up in therapy on monday. richard was remarking on how nice it was to have sophie stateside for a while, living at his apartment, and the intimacy of that. he told annie that he'd sat in the bathroom and chatted with sophie as she shaved her bush in the bath.

"why?" annie asked. "it was such a great bush!"

richard laughed. "you know, I think it's a when in rome kind of thing. the bush makes sense in france. not as common here. i mean i don't want to speak for all women. she said your friend was shaved."

"she was?" annie said. "surprising. she was not when we hooked up a week ago." she laughed at herself disclosing this kind of thing in front of richard so readily, so eagerly. "maybe i inspired her."

richard smiled.

The handsome artist. 27. (Daniel Ricciardo)

Little flower. The day arrived.

MASTERLIST.

Previous part: Weddings and Celebrations.

Note: the pics that appear on the carácter are pinned on my Pinterest, on The Handsome Artist's board.

Warning: I think it's not really explicit, but the birth is described.

"Go..."

"Baby..."

"Dan. I'm fine. It's probably just the pasta I ate"

It wasn't. It had taken a hell of a time to convince Danny to go out with the guys for dinner. But some weird felling on my belly had interrupted the afternoon. What I thought that was probably just the carbonara he had cooked, ended up breaking my water.

I was bracing myself against the counter, liquid going down my legs and pain settling between them. I was shaking. It was soon. We had two weeks left. The Ricciardo's were coming in a week and a half. The baby couldn't come just yet.

"Hey, are you okay?" The worried voice appeared the moment he took the call.

"N-no... Danny..."

"Abi, fuck. What's going on?" I heard the chair moving and the guys asking if I was okay.

"My water broke. I... Oh fuck" Another contraction hit.

"Abi don't scare me. Are you okay?"

"It's coming" I said with tears filling my eyes. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to have this baby. "Danny..."

"Okay, I'm going. I'll be there soon. Sit. Take a seat, sweetheart"

I did.

"Are you having contractions? Are they..."

"Yes... It's coming now, Danny. I'm. Not ready... I can't have the baby now... You parents... They are not here. They have to meet the baby" I sobbed.

"Abigail, baby. I'm gonna be there soon. You will do it right. I'm sure. And don't worry about my parents, honey."

I touched my belly and felt another contraction.

"Breathe"

"Are you driving? Don't be on your phone"

"Michael is. He is driving my car. Breathe with me"

Danny's POV.

I was scared. I was terrified. It was two weeks early and Abigail was alone and crying.

"Abi, love."

"Yes..."

"Don't go silent please. I want to hear you. I want to know you are okay"

"I'm not" She sobbed. "It hurts"

I gave Michael a worried look and he patted my leg.

"Okay, baby. Tell me. How much time between contractions?"

"Five minutes"

I took a deep breath.

"Are you in your pijamas?"

"Y-yes..."

"I hope you don't mind going to the hospital on them"

"They are really wet."

"Oops. Well, we'll change them. Don't worry"

"Your mum said..."

"I know. I know my mum said she wanted to be here. But there is nothing we can do now. Don't worry about it" I tried to reassure her. I obviously wanted my parents here when my first born was born. But the baby seemed to be in a hurry now. "She is going to be just as happy"

"I'm sorry"

"No, no. Don't be, honey. It's alright. This is how it is. Baby is in a hurry but it's okay."

I heard her chuckle between sobs.

"What's so funny?"

"It's kicking. Probably trying to get out"

"Tell them to wait. I'm on my way"

"Papa is coming, baby. Just wait a little more. Please..." I heard her say. My heart skipped a bit and I leaned my head back on the seat. Michael looked at me.

"Abi"

"Mhm"

"What do you think it's gonna be?" I closed my eyes. During the whole pregnancy, she had kept the I don't care if its a boy or a girl, I just want them to be healthy statement.

"I don't..."

It made me smile.

"I knew you would say that. But c'mon. You know I want a baby girl"

She laughed a bit. I could picture her with her han on her belly, looking down with a smile and her cheek wet with tears. But then she whined in pain and I swallowed. Then she huffed.

"I want a girl. But I will love them as much."

"I know you will, sweetheart"

Then Michael turned and we were in front of the shop.

"I'm here, honey."

"Hey. I'll be here waiting" Mike told me. "And I'll call Molly"

"Thanks mate"

I ran upstairs and just as I thought, she was in the kitchen.

"Babe"

"Danny"

I knelt in from of her and hugged her. Just for pure comfort, I know she needed it.

"I'm scared"

"I know. But it's okay to be scared."

Then she got another contraction.

"They... They happen more often. We have to leave."

"Okay, okay"

Quickly, I helped her changing to clean sweats and then together we walked downstairs.

"I don't have the bag ready..." I chuckled.

"Don't worry about that now. They won't leave baby naked"

Then she sat in the car and forced a smile.

"Hi Mike"

"Hi Abi, how are you?"

"Terrible, thank you"

I laughed and kissed her cheek.

"Molly said she will come quick"

"Charlotte"

I passed her the phone.

"H-hi" She said with tears on her eyes again. "I... I think the baby is coming... Really fast and..." she shut her mouth and leaned on me. Mike was already driving. "I know... I'm scared..." I held Abi all the way to the hospital while Charlotte talk to her.

Then, once inside, they gave us a wheelchair and I found myself following her and the nurses. My ears were ringing and my whole body shaking. All the fears where on my skin. What if something went wrong? What if it was true that Abi couldn't do it? What if this was an emergency? Why was the baby here so soon? Why was it all going so quick?"

I saw how they changed her clothes, cutteed the sweats and almost pushed me outside.

"No, I'm staying. That's my wife and my baby"

"Sir..."

I watched Abi, face contorned in pain and hands fisting the sheets. They were grabbed her arms but she was still standing.

"See, they say that this is the most natural way to give birth" She said showing me a photo. "Will they let me do it like this if I ask"

"I will kick a couple of asses of they don't."

"I'm staying. I'm not leaving her alone. Why do you want me to leave?" I said raising my voice. "If something is wrong you can tell me already because I'm not going anywhere"

"He stays" The doctor said without moving her eyes from Abi.

The nurse rolled her eyes and passed me the clothes. I changed as fast as I could and then went out.

"Push, Abigail"

She screamed and my heart broke.

"It hurts..."

"I know, Abigail. But the baby is in a hurry. The head is already here"

The head is already here.

"Husband!"

"Danny. He is Danny" Abi panted and everyone smiled.

"You can help us holding her." But then her face changed. "Okay no, the bed"

"The bed? No. Not the bed. I don't want the bed" Abi said desperate.

"Doctor she..." I tried to help.

"The baby is coming quick, Abigail. If you do it like this you can hurt yourself badly."

Abi looked at me. She was terrified. I hated seeing her like this. "Danny"

"It's for you. Please, let them move you to the bed. Please."

"But I..."

"I don't want you to hurt yourself. Please."

Finally, they helped her on the bed, knees up and legs open. She was grabbing my hand hard. Her hair was sticking on her face and she was crying. "Please... Take that baby out"

The doctor smiled sweetly and caressed her knee. "One more and we will have the head out. Then the shoulders and it'll be done. You are doing it fantastic, Abigail"

I wrapped my arm over her shoulders and kissed her temple.

"Okay" She whispered. I kissed her cheek.

"I'm so proud of you"

Then another push and another cry of pain. A well done for the doctor and another push. And finally... A cry.

A baby cry.

Abigail, instead of relaxing as I thought she would, straightened her back. She wanted to see.

My heart was beating on my chest and I couldn't move. I was frozen. That baby crying was my baby. I was a father.

"Danny? Danny, baby" I felt Abigail touching my face. "Are you okay?"

I blinked and tears fell down my cheeks. I focused my eyes and I saw her smile. Again, I fell even more in love with her. Flustered and sweaty, with her eyes glassy and lip swollen from biting it, Abigail was smiling at me with all her sweetness and kindness.

"I'm okay"

"Danny, do you want to cut the..."

I shook my head quick. "I will faint"

And everyone chuckled, even Abi.

"I love you" She whispered.

And then, finally they lifted the baby and she covered her mouth.

The nursed walked to us and laid then on her chest.

"You had a healthy baby girl."

And Abi wrapped her hands around her and looked at me. Her lip was trembling and she was crying.

"What you wanted!" She said just as if I was a kid with a toy on Christmas day.

"I love them" A nurse said laughing.

"Best Labour of the week"

"What we wanted"

I leaned over her shoulder and looked at her. At Daisy. Even though she was sticky and still dirty, I reached and touched her cheek. She was crying badly, but nuzzling her cheek against her mums chest.

"Hi Daisy" I whispered.

"She is so pretty, Danny"

I always thought babies were kind of ugly when they were born, I thought tñparents were a bit out of their minds when they called them cute. Even my own sister. But now that my girl was here on my other girl's chest, I understand them completely.

"She is perfect" She had a lot of dark hair and big eyes, round cheeks and tiny hands.

"Daisy" She looked at me. "Izzy will be so happy"

I chuckled and kissed her lips for the first time.

"She sure will. I can't wait to tell them"

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep her inside."

I chucked and pressed my forehead against her.

"It's not your fault, all hers"

She laughed and looked down again.

"Hi baby" She whispered. "I'm muma. The one that has been feeding you. And this is Papa. The weirdo that talked to you in the middle of the night."

I gasped.

"You knew that?"

"Of course I did" She smiled so big, so bright. Not scared anymore. She had done it perfect.

"Sorry to bother. We need to check and clean her. And also clean you, Abigail"

She nodded.

The nurse took Daisy carefully and I follow her with my eyes. Then I looked down at Abi.

"I'm not going to let anything bad ever happen to her."

She smiled with tears on her eyes and brought me down for a kiss.

"I love you"

"I love you too"

"Go outside and tell them we are okay"

I nodded and kissed her head.

Five minutes later, I was walking down the corridor.

It was already 11 pm and there wasn't much people in the hospital.

Michael, Molly, Blake and Charlotte got up. I didn't know how Molly, Blake and Charlotte had arrived, but I didn't care.

I felt myself starting to shake again. Tears filled my eyes and I try to stop them. I didn't want them to be scared. But I couldn't stop myself.

When Charlotte hugged me, I started crying.

"Daniel, please. Don't do this. How are they? How is my Abi?"

The woman was shaking too.

"It's a girl. And she is so perfect."

I coudl hear the sighs of relief and Charlotte crying on my shoulder. "Oh Danny, I told you! I told you you would have a little flower"

I chuckled and pulled back because anyone knew about the name. Not even about the idea.

"Daisy. She is Daisy"

Charlotte kissed my cheek like a grandma would (she kind of was now).

"Izzy told Abi to please name the baby like her favourite flower"

Molly walked to me and hugged me. Then Mike and Blake. And then Charlotte tucked herself under my arm and dried my tears.

"I can't believe it" I said with a smile. My friends looked at me. And wow. They were also crying.

"Daniel, I'm so happy for you" Blake said. "I'm so so happy"

"Same, mate. You have your little daughter already"

I nodded.

"Give me another hug"

And I hugged them both again. I felt Molly's hand caressing my back.

"How is Abi?"

"Happy. It was fast and she couldn't do it standing. But she is okay now."

"She was scared" Charlotte said.

"Yeah. A lot." I sighed. "But everything went well"

"Hey, call your parents"

I nodded.

"Stay here just in case they need someone"

They nodded.

I walked outside the hospital. The air was humid and thick. I sat in the steps and called home. It was already in the morning in there.

"Hey Dan! I wasn't expecting you now" My mum answer the videocall happily.

I felt a knot on my throat. I would have loved to have them here and somehow I couldn't believe I was about to tell them I had become a father.

"Mum"

"Danny, are you okay?"

"What's wrong?" I heard my father ask. He appeared soon on the screen.

"Nothing wrong. Everything is perfect actually"

"Where are you?"

I smiled and cleaned a tear.

"Um. Yeah. We had a little surprise tonight"

Somehow, I knew my mum had understood perfectly. She covered her mouth and her eyes got glassy.

"Daniel"

"The baby is here"

"Oh!" My dad shouted. "Already? And the two weeks?"

"Yeah... It lasted for an hour and a half since her water broke so... No two weeks. Fast delivery"

They laughed.

"Oh Daniel. Daniel! You have a baby!" My mum shouted too. "I can't believe it. We are grandparents again! I can wait to meet... Wait? Is it a girl?"

I chuckled between tears. Everyone wanted a girl.

"It is a girl. Daisy. But... Don't tell the kids, okay?"

"Daisy? Oh that's so cute... Izzy is going to love it"

"It was her idea."

My mum sobbed and dad had to hug her. That's how we were all crying, the creen between us.

"Are they okay?"

"Yeah. Healthy and perfect. She is so beautiful. She has a lot of black hair and her eyes are so big. She has this little round cheeks and... I can't wait for you guys to meet her."

"We can't wait either. I will call Michelle and we will fix the flights. I'm sure the kids can miss a couple of days of school."

I laughed a bit.

"I missed you here."

"This is how things went." My mum said quietly. "We are equally happy, Daniel. We are now even more excited. We can't wait to meet our granddaughter and see Abi. Give them a lot of kisses and tell her I'm so happy and proud."

"She was worried for your" I told them.

"You couldn't have found a sweeter girl, Daniel" Mum said with a smile. "We are so happy for you. You are so lucky, Daniel"

"I know. I couldn't be luckier." I dried my tears and sighed. Just then, I heard my name. Molly was walking in my direction.

"Hey, they are already taking the girl to the room."

"Okay."

Molly had pink cheeks and her eyes were swollen.

"Hi!" She said peaking over my shoulder.

"Hi Molly!"

"Mum, Dad. I have to go already. I'll send you pictures as soon as I can."

"Okay, son. Give them a lot of kisses. We will call again in the morning."

"Um... I will call Michelle soon"

"Goodnight, Danny"

"Yeah, bye. I love you guys"

"I love you too, Daniel" Mum said.

"Have a good night" Dad said.

I got up and looked at Molly.

"She is beautiful, Daniel" She said and opened her arms.

I hugged her tight and kissed her head.

"I'm so happy" She whispered.

"Thank you, Molly"

"Thank you very much for making Abigail this happy."

"She makes me even happier, Molly. It's so easy"

She cupped my cheeks.

"You will be a great Dad, Daniel" I knew then that she knew.

"I hope so."

"Let's go, they are waiting for you"

When I opened the door, Abigail was on the bed and Daisy was on her arms. They were dressed with white hospital clothes. Abigail had her hair in a braid, rpobably done by Charlotte, who was looking at her nieces with so much love. Blake and Mike were sitting by the window, both with smiles on their faces. I swallowed and took a step in.

"Hey..."

Abi looked at me and smiled.

"Hi"

I walked to her and kissed her head.

"You look good" I kissed her lips. "I was calling my parents"

She bit her lip.

"I wish she had stayed in only for a few more days."

"Don't worry about that. They are changing the flights. And they told me to give you both a lot of kisses"

Abi leaned her head on my shoulder. Charlotte reached and touched her head.

"Are you tired?"

"Exhausted"

"We should get going" Blake said and walk closer to see the baby. Then he looked at me with a smile. "She is a Ricciardo, huh"

"I see her more like Abi" Michael said watching his goddaughter.

"She has her cheeks like Abi when she was a baby. But that mouth is surely Dan's" Charlotte whispered.

"I see it" Molly said.

And suddenly Daisy opened her eyes.

"Hi" Abi whispered and ran her finger over the side of her face. Ioved closer and hugged her shoulders. I couldn't speak. "How are you little flower?"

I smiled and Charlotte chuckled.

"She just had her first nap in the world. Must be feeling good"

Daisy made a noise and stretched her arms.

"There is plenty of space out here, right?"

The softness of Abi's voice was making me melt. It was dissolving me into a puddle.

I reached my hand and touched Daisy's, her fingers quickly grabbed mine and I gasped.

"Hi honey"

Her eyes followed my voice although she couldn't see yet.

"It's Papa" Abi whispered.

"Love, we are going to leave you guys alone" Charlotte said and kissed Abi. "I'll be here in the morning with the bag, okay?"

"Thank you, Charlotte. All of you actually. Thank you very much for coming" She said looking at them.

The Godparents said goodbye to the baby, then the coolest uncle too and finally Charlotte. And soon we were left alone with our baby and once again I couldn't believe it was real.

Daisy whined and as if she had been doing this her whole life, Abi put her on her chest, opening the shirt and letting her grab the nipple.

"You are going to kill me today, Abi"

She looked at me and smiled.

"Why?"

"Remember what I said when I proposed? That I fall for you everyday? Well, I'm feeling so so many things today and each second I love you more. And her... Look what you have given to me. You have made a perfect baby, Abi"

"We."

I kissed her lips and she grabbed me by my neck, kissing deeper and making me shiver.

"I love you so much, Daniel Ricciardo"

"I love you more."

"Call Michelle. And show your parents the baby"

I did. I took pictures and a video. I wanted them to see how healthy and strong Daisy was. Abi talked to them and then I sent Michelle a message.

Me: Hey. Something happened.

Not even a second later, she answered.

Michelle: what happened?

Michelle: don't scare me.

Me: this happened.

And just as quick, she called.

"Daniel!"

"Hi"

"The baby"

"Yes"

"Oh my god. I... The kids... They are at school but..."

"Hey, hey. It's fine. Breathe"

"Daniel you have a baby"

"I have a baby."

"How is Abi? Oh. When did it happen? She wasn't due in..."

Abi took the phone.

"Hi, Michelle."

I heard them talking. Abi told her everything and they talked and laughed for a while. And then she lookedat me and put it on speaker.

"She is so sweet Michelle. She has only cried once."

"She? A girl?!"

"Yes" Abi said with the biggest smile. "Everyone wanted a girl"

We laughed.

"Hey Mich" I called her. "Don't tell the kids that Daisy is a girl."

"Why is that?"

"Izzy asked me to name her like this, we want to surprise her"

We talk to her for a while and Abi started falling asleep on my shoulder.

"Hey, love. Let's go to sleep, huh"

We said out goodbyes to Michelle and Abi carefully moved Daisy away. She had fallen asleep while eating.

"I can't sleep yet" She said.

"Why?"

"I haven't seen you hold her yet"

I gasped. "I haven't"

"No Danny"

I felt my hands shaking and I looked at the small baby.

"We can wait until the morning"

"No, no. I want to. It's just..."

"It will be okay"

I nodded and looked at her. She smiled and reached the baby for me.

My heart was hammering in my chest. My baby. My little girl. My daughter. My little flower. My Daisy. She was sleeping on my arms and I couldn't stop looking at her.

"I love you so much, little flower. I have waited so long for you"

I'm 5 eps into the warp effect so it's speculation time

Okay so I don't know if the actual metric of time travel/plot is what I'm supposed to be focusing on but it's fun so

We know all the pictures are of people Alex was/is close to that he took pictures of on that night

as Army took his picture at the party he got the one of Alex in the future

If we didn't have future knowledge via pictures presumably nobody would have stopped Mollie, they would have run away and Jean may not have found them. So Alex's intervention may have saved them

so is each picture a key moment where alex's intervention helps his friends stay on a good path?

But what about Alex's picture? I would have said it had already happened because I thought it was the moment he worke up in the future, but Mollie's pic changed back. Thus presumably it's last and once all the pictures have happened and Alex has saved everyone...he'll what? regain his memories?

or return to the past and live out those days makng different choices thereby erasing the future he just made better? Okay I don't think this option makes sense.

So yes, currently think the photos are so Alex can help but the why of it all and the what happens when he is done is beyond my current imaginative capacities

Other thoughts

Wow I love the positive messaging on this show, ALL OF IT

Fluke Ponsit

Jean is too hot and confident for my ace ass to deal with fyi

also the fact that there are AT LEAST 4 actors in this show whose characters I am finding aesthetically attractive rather than just objectively nice looking (when most shows have 1 or less) is making me VERY DISTRACTED.

also I have just genuinely adored every moment of Ice & Kim's entire relationship.

Onwards

@plantsarepeopletoo I think you're still slightly ahead but feel free to join in on the speculation if you want.

(Adalynn's pov)

We've started summer, and the boys are finishing up their last few bits of school work before summer holidays begin. We've been focusing on how to proper structure a letter, so after a few practice runs on composition, spelling (and spell checks), and grammar, the boys selected a few family members and wrote letters to them. I went out and bought stamps so that we didn't have to make the trip to the post office. I advised them to pic family members of different ages so that they can have a range of conversation topics, so they picked a cousin, one of their aunts and uncles, and one or both of my parents.

The boys had their first official trip to the pool recently. Whilst modesty is important to us, we understand that not everybody keeps to the same standards, and visits to public spaces like our community pool is a great lesson for the boys. We've prioritised swimming lessons for the boys since in the warmer months we do spend time at the pool and swimming in lakes, Mason and I agreed that it was a necessary expense for peace of mind in terms of the boys safety.

Madelynn and Molly took on the brave task of getting the boys to the pool and supervising them whilst they swam. Molly has been in Willowcreek to get their new house set up as well as get registered with our local birthing centre. The boys have been loving having their auntie here, and with me being in the last stages of pregnancy, she and Madelynn offered to take all the older boys out to the pool so I can finish up my nesting projects. Tabitha is at home with a toddler and an infant, so she sat this one out. Molly is in her first trimester and thankfully doesn't have morning sickness that bad, I was so grateful that she even wanted to take the boys out to go sit in the heat. The boys came back with such great stories and were begging their auntie Molly for another trip to the pool. I've started getting braxton hicks, so to be even more helpful, Angie came and took the younger boys for a bit to give me even more solid work time. Baby could come any day now and I'm excited for the house to have a newborn again!

Joel

post outbreak!Joel x fem!OC (Molly)

Word count: 2.4k

Content warning: Jackson era, Joel being smitten bcus that's my favourite genre, flirting, fluff, pretty much love at first sight vibes. Joel is in his 40s, OC is in her mid to late twenties, probably some misspellings, oops, OC doesn't have many physical descriptions if any (I was lazy lol)

A/N: If I don’t swallow my pride and post this now then I never will :( I really just needed to get this off my mind it was killing me and if it flops...well... at least I wrote it lol

My dad introduced me to 'Joshua by Dolly Parton', it's been on repeat and it just screams Joel Miller to me.

(not my pic, got it from Pinterest. I'd let him obliterate me. fuck.)

(I pictured video game Joel, but you can picture whichever your heart desires. They're both hot.)

He was a stranger. Three years in this town and he was still a stranger. No one had ever really gotten a good glimpse of him, they said he never left the house unless it was to come into town for groceries or food, or out on patrol with his brother Tommy and even then they always seemed to be in a secluded area where no one else could find them.

And though he was a mystery man people talked, said that he was the meanest and grumpiest man in Jackson, never smiled at anyone and had a permanent frown. They said that if you ever stepped foot on his porch he'd send his dog after you, chase you off his property shouting never to come back. But all these allegations never wavered her fear, she didn't believe the rumours one bit, if no one had a genuine interaction with this man how would they know what he was like?

She wondered though if he was tall if he was handsome, if was he young or was he an older gentleman, what he sounded like-- if he had the same southern drawl as Tommy or if it had faded, though she doubted that. As she leaned on the side of her friend's truck she stared down at the mystery man's house, or at least she guessed it was based on the descriptions she's heard in the town's whispers. He lived a few feet down the hill from her friend's house. It looked big enough, it had two floors and seemed to have at least two bedrooms, she wondered which was his. The longer she stared the more her curiosity ate at her.

"So you've never seen him? Not even once?" She asked, her eyes never leaving the architecture. Her friend, busy packing up the trunk, answered. "I mean I've seen him, but I've never seen his face."

"Is he tall?"

"Looks like he is."

Her eyebrows twitched with interest. "Is he... big? Like muscular?" She felt silly asking these questions but she just needed to know. "Probably."

The trunk slammed shut signalling that her friend was done with their task and ready to go, but she wasn't, almost shocking herself when she blurted out. "I'm going down there." She didn't hesitate, she pushed herself off of the side of the car and took determined steps down the hill leaving her path of footprints behind, her friend watched with her arms crossed and amusement on her face, ready to see her being chased away by that sleeping grizzly bear on the porch.

The closer she got to the house, the nerves and regret suddenly made themselves present but nonetheless she was committed to at least getting to the front door. She made her way up the steps that led to his porch, she tiptoed as best as she could but one misstep caused a creeeak in the boards and the once-sleeping animal had woken from its slumber. She froze, unsure of whether he'd bark at her like the tale's told. They had quite the staring contest before the four-legged creature stood up, shaking its fur off from the faint snowfall before trotting over to her, its tongue hung out while it panted and a soft "ruff!" escaped. The dog nudged her leg with its nose and she giggled dropping down to her knees.

"Well hello, sweetie pie." She greeted giving him a good scratch behind his floppy ears. "You are so handsome, and a good boy." She cooed, his tongue swiped across her face rendering a bellyful laugh from her. "Ugh! I could just take you home."

"Wouldn't recommend that." A low and deep voice spoke above her. Oh shit. It's him. She gulped, her eyes remained on the ground as she rose to her feet. "I mean if you want to steal my dog, least y'could do is look at me." His shoulders bounced as he chuckled, she looked up at him, her pupils dilating at the man in front of her. He was tall, shoulders nice and broad, biceps humungous compared to the size of her head. Head full of salt and pepper hair with a full beard to match the contrast, a sign of his transition into his older years. He had a lovely nose, it curved perfectly and fit his face nicely, freckles scattered over the bridge and faint spots on the rest of his face.

God, he's beautiful.

"H-hello." She stammered, almost stunned by him. "Who are you? What're doin' snoopin' round my place?" He grumbled, well, they were right he was a grumpy man. That infamous scowl splayed on his face. She swallowed hard. "Sorry, sir-"

He shifted his stance, his biceps flexed as he folded his arms across his chest. She tugged at her bottom lip. "My name is Molly, I-I was just visiting a friend and, uh..." It's as if her brain had short-circuited trying to come up with an excuse as to why she was being so nosy. She was tripping, stumbling over her words and he just couldn't keep up his persona anymore. Molly was cute, the blush creeping across her face from either the frost-bitten Jackson air or her nerves, or maybe both but either way it tugged at his heart. 

The creases in his eyes became apparent as he smiled softly. Molly blinked. "I'm just fuckin' with ya sweetheart." She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and shook her head. "Sorry, sir." She didn't even know what she was apologizing for. 

"Joel, sweetheart, you can just call me Joel." He charmed. 

She quickly glanced past him, the door wide enough that she could catch a glimpse of his humble abode. "Do you live here all by yourself sir- Joel?" A bold question, he straightened up at the sudden inquiry. "I got my dog."

Touché.

"And..."

He fought the smirk on his face, she was cute and her wit was quick, he could admire that. "That's it." He answered.

They held a stare, it was long but it wasn't awkward, she got lost in those pretty brown puppy dog eyes of his. So fucking handsome. Joel nodded at her, "You want to come in? I've got a pot roast, big enough to share." She tingled at his accent, his deep voice and his inviting aura. All her sense of 'stranger danger' suddenly flew out of the window, her promise to go back to her friend had long been broken. She accepted his invitation and stepped foot inside his house. Nobody had made it that far, so they say. Molly looked around, it was quaint, surprisingly neat and tidy. But you could tell a woman did not live here. It was very man-ish.

"I can take your coat." He offered his hand. Gentleman. She shrugged off her jacket and handed it to him, her knuckles brushing his calloused palms— she felt a spark shoot through her. She thanked him and slid off her boots. Her polka-dot socks made an appearance, he was tickled. "Lovely home you have here."

"Thank you. D'ya like anything to drink?" 

She spun around. "Do you have iced tea by any chance?" It was a long shot, he looked like didn't drink anything but beer, whiskey too if he had it. "You're in luck, Maria and Tommy came down here a few days ago. She likes to bring me some, I don't drink much of it though." 

He excused himself and disappeared into the kitchen.

Molly eased her way around the first floor, he had little trinkets and knickknacks but again, it was obvious he lived alone. Her eyes landed on a picture of two young boys, she could only assume was him and Tommy, baseball bats in hand and the field in the background. "Can't tell you the last time I swung a bat," He muttered announcing his return, he handed her a tall glass of Iced Tea, even accompanied it with a straw. "Well, at least, at a ball." 

She softly laughed taking a sip of her beverage. She continued to wander but she took note of his watchful gaze, it wasn't weird or creepy, he just seemed pulled in by her. 

After a small tour he announced that he was going to eat, she joined him, asking if he needed help with anything but he declined. "You're my guest darlin', you don't needa lift a finger." 

She wiggled in her chair at the comment. 

It was only a moment before a nice red bowl was in front of her, the aroma hitting her senses, it smelt wonderful, it smelt like home. He grabbed a seat next to her, she thanked him for the meal before digging in. Her first spoonful knocked her eyes to the back of her head, and she groaned. "This is so fucking good." She said with a full mouth, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth realizing what she'd done lacked basic etiquette. "Sorry." 

"No need to apologize, darlin'. I appreciate the compliment." 

The two ate and chatted. They got to learn about each other. She discovered that Joel used to be a contractor, had a nice house, an old but reliable truck... a daughter, all before the world went to shit he was somebody just like everyone else in Jackson. Said the only reason he came out here was to find Tommy, to rescue him from danger, but his little brother had found solace in this town, found a home in Maria. And it took a lot of persuasion from him in order for Joel to stay. He'd gotten his dog, Titus, when he was on patrol once. Searching through a recently abandoned home he'd found the black dog, barely clinging on to life. It was risky bringing Titus into Jackson, he could tell the poor thing wasn't infected but he brought him by the vet to make sure. 

He'd gotten all his shots and was good to go home, with Joel, and suddenly he wasn't so lonely anymore.

Empty bowls sat on the table, and another round of Iced Tea made its way to her while he just settled for a beer. He took a sip, and she watched his head tossed back, his strong Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed every drop, she wished he was drinking her instead. 

Joel put the bottle down, his mouth twisted as he bit back a question of his own, but he had to know. 

"What were you doin' snoopin' around my yard today?" 

She played with her straw, swirling the cubes inside the glass and with each swish they would melt bit by bit. 

Molly cleared her throat. "I wanted to see if the rumours were true. You've got quite the reputation out there Mr. Miller." 

He knew what people thought of him and honestly, he didn't care, it was easier this way. No one comin' over to his house to borrow some sugar, or just have a friendly chat. He wasn't in the mood for all that, he was a simple man with a simple routine. Patrol and then home to Titus. 

"They say you're a mean and grumpy old man, who yells at anyone who sets foot on your property." 

He scoffed raising his eyebrows that also had a hint of gray in the hairs. "And you still came here?" 

She shrugged. "Wasn't too worried about it." 

He tilted his head. "Why not?" 

Molly's eyes caught his. "Because I didn't think someone could be so mean. And now that I'm here... I stand corrected." 

His eyes softened, her words meaning more to him than she'd ever know. "Thanks." 

She winked bringing her straw to her lips. His eyes drifted down just a bit, watching the way her pretty lips wrapped around the plastic, the way her cheeks would hollow in order to suck up the juice. He shifted in his seat, his eyes quickly moving over to his beer bottle. Molly looked out the window behind him and gasped, the sun had vanished, the only light provided was from the moon. 

"Shit, what time is it?" 

Joel looked at his watch. "It's eight. Got somewhere to be?" 

"No, I just... I didn't expect to stay this long. Plus I have an early patrol. I-- I should get out of your hair." She suggested. He wanted to grab her wrist and tell her to sit back down and stay for the night so they could talk more but he decided against it. "You need a ride home?" 

Molly sighed, she could just go back up to her friend's place but knowing her she was either sleeping or at her sister's place, probably telling her about how bold she was today stepping foot on Joel's land. "If you don't mind." She grimaced. 

"Course not." 

Joel stood to his feet, she stretched her neck to take one final look at the handsome man before he eased past her to head over to the little corner where their shoes sat. They got dressed and headed out. Joel whistled at Titus who was still enjoying his time on the porch. "Get in there bud." He nods over to the entrance of the house. The obedient dog stood but instead of going inside, he headed over to Molly. 

She drops to his level. "Thanks for the warm welcome Titus, I'll see you around sweetie pie." She cooed scratching his ears once again. He nudged her face with his wet nose and she giggled turning her face. "Okay, okay, get inside."

Titus huffed and trotted inside the house. Joel closed the door and walked her over to his truck opening the passenger's side for her and making sure she was good before heading to the driver's. 

They talked in between her feeding him instructions on how to get to her house. They arrived and she hopped out, he was hot on her tail walking her to her door. She searched her jacket pocket for her keys. "I had a great time today." She admitted.

"I did too, s'nice having someone to talk to." He confessed. 

"Oh don't worry, I'll be back." She softly giggled unlocking her door. "Now that I know Mr. Miller isn't so scary." 

Joel smiled earnestly, what was this fucking feeling? He always said he was fine, didn't need another human companion, didn't need someone he had to care for, didn't need someone to catch a headache over. But he'd made the exception for her. "Well, you're welcome back anytime." 

She propped herself on her toes to deliver a quick kiss on his cheek and he swore his stomach flipped around. "Goodnight Joel." 

"Night, pretty girl." 

She was safe inside and he headed back over to his place with a smile etched on his face. 

Molly skipped upstairs, falling face-first into her mattress, she screamed with excitement. She could not wait to see Joel Miller again. 

To the two (i think) followers/mutuals who are aware of TLOU. I hope this reached you, piqued your interest, if this doesn't flop I'll do a part two or something If you liked this fic, feel free to like this fic, comments and reblogs are appreciated. peace and love🤙🏾

Writing Patterns

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 fics and see if there’s a pattern!

WHOOPS sorry @onetwistedmiracle this took me a billion years (9 days) to do, the passage of time is simply not real to me. See twisted's post here and read her stuff, it's good. I will follow her lead and also pic ten fics that I wrote by myself, just to try and keep things easier lol

I'm bad at tagging people because this account is a side blog and I really only talk to twisted on it (is this an invitation to talk to me? Maybe! But please don't be offended if it takes me 9 days to reply), but if you want to examine your own writing style, consider this a lazy tag.

The last ten fics I wrote were for Critical Role and Star Wars (I miss you Check! Please, eventually I work work more on mine and twisted's collab fic and see you again)

1: You could be the one that I love, And now I'm standin' here, hopin' it gets to you

Molly had the feeling that so long as Caleb Widogast’s hand was on the small of his back, he could do anything.

Part 9 in my Molly/Caleb/Essek threesome fic, spicy but they're IN LOVE. I do love to start with a character thought/name.

2: I'm in new territory, somehow, it kinda feels like home

“What?” Padme said, her voice feeling hollow in her own chest.

A rare gen fic for me, I usually write explicit, but this was a fun prequel AU because I love to turn tragedies into opportunities. I also love to start with dialogue, just get RIGHT into things. It's also a short sentence, idk why.

3: Oh, if it's real, if it's sweet

“I’ve made a mistake,” Anakin said, and Luke sighed.

Another teen rating, can you believe I built my AO3 page on writing porn? More dialogue, I just think it's funny. And a short sentence!

4: Wherever you are, we are seeing the same stars

The day after Anakin left, Shmi almost sold C-3PO.

Surprise, it's dialogue AND a short sentence. Am I a two-trick pony? Maybe! Check out this kick flip!

5: Feeling like a face in the crowd

What Molly liked most about Essek and Caleb’s house—besides the fact that they lived in it and he, like, loved them—was just how many nooks and crannies it had.

This is the longest starting sentence thus far, maybe the longest starting sentence ever for one of my fics LOL I usually leave the run-ons for a third of the way through. And it's not dialogue! Shocker! This is also part 8 of my threesome purple wizard series, so the foundation has been laid and I could get a little weird with it?

6: All we got is us now

Ahsoka hadn’t spent a lot of time with Leia Organa.

We're back on the short train with a character driven statement. This is also part 5 of my pretty places series, so, again, there could be something to the already established aspect of it, or nothing at all!

7: Look how you made me

“Jester has questions,” Fjord said with a sigh.

Dialogue, but this time it's not from the POV character. I'm not doing a very good job analyzing things, but I am having a good time.

8: A message in a bottle is all I can do, Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you

Caleb Widoghast and Essek Thelyss lived very different lives from Mollymauk Tealeaf.

Character driven thought! Writing is hard, okay, and you gotta start somewhere. Definitive statements and dialogue are nice jumping off points.

9: I'm reaching for you

The first time Molly had sex with Caleb and Essek, he called himself an Uber right after.

This one is earlier on in the threesome series; timeline-wise it's like...the second story? 1.5 technically, since it happens mid first story? But I wrote it fifth, so. Establishment theory does or doesn't gain traction here, I don't think I know what I'm saying anymore.

10: 'Cause you could be the one that I love, I could be the one that you dream of

“What’re you thinking about?” Caleb asked, drawing his thumb across Molly’s temple, winding a purple curl between his fingers.

And we're back on our dialogue train! Dialogue starters, my beloved.

I don't know that we (I) learned anything, but it was fun to wander back through my most recent fics. Hopefully this will inspire me to write more fanfiction, but right now I am DEEP in the trenches of my own dungeons and dragons character, so. It's gonna be a minute.

XOXO

[mortoxtea]

She's the queen of posting stuff late. Wouldn't be surprised if she posts something tomorrow about fake Bill gift. Funny how once again not one Skarsgard wished her happy bday. Her own sister didn't shit either. And the old pics by friend's too? Why can't she post a selfish or pic herself. She only reposts what she's tagged in. Ridiculous.

Liza was (as of now) the only one to make a Birthday post for Alida but it was combined with a birthday post for her fiance (she did the same thing last year and reused at least one photo for Alida). She also used a photo of Alida from 2016 and used a photo of Alida taken by her Ex-Boyfriend in 2015. Which is really weird. If my sister did that I'd be like "why the hell would you be posting old pictures of me taken by an ex-boyfriend?" yes, the photos are good photos but they are really outdated and a strange choice to post for a birthday wish post (if you ask me).

Last year, Alida did post original content she took herself. She posted a few videos and a few photos as well as a birthday message explaining why she had been "so quiet". This year all she did was repost everything she didn't thank anyone or say anything. Which is weird because last year on at least a few posts she did thank people for their birthday wishes.

I wouldn't be surprised if she posted something late because you are right she's the queen of that. She may post something tomorrow about her birthday or something or she might do nothing. It's hard to tell. I'd say given her lack of thanking anyone or saying anything nice or posting any original photos or videos she had a very bitter birthday. Molly and Astrid didn't say anything or post anything for her birthday. Neither did her father. No indication at all that Bill was anywhere near her. Despite the stans claiming Valter "LOVES HER SO MUCH" because she was at his premiere, he didn't post anything for her, neither did any of the other Skarsgards (and I'm sure they know it's her birthday).

It remains to be seen if she will late post anything for attention but if I had to guess this was a bad birthday and she's got nothing with Bill because he wasn't with her and that whole relationship is over.

Iirc a lot of twitter fans started shipping Harry with his personal trainer when they arrived in Rome in the summer late at night and a fan took pics or video of Harry walking with him at 3 am. People started digging to know who was walking with Harry and ignored the bodyguard behind them and thats how they noticed he had been touring with Harry the whole time. Dua Lipa takes her yoga teacher everywhere too and nobody says they are dating even when Dua posts her all the time on her ig lol

It’s all just so stupid. I truly hate the way they think Harry is dating/sleeping with literally anyone he spends time with. You do notice, though, that it’s only conventionally attractive white people though, right? Why aren’t people shipping him with Pauli? Or Lizzo? Or Molly? Or his previous trainer (who was a black man)? Or his friend, Al (also black)? Give Harry a break. He can exist without being linked romantically/sexually to people he spends time with.

Here’s the video you mention. Just for record keeping. Clearly so romantic. 🙄🙄🙄

Tagging: @dudethatsgay @kharonion @bluepriestess @kyngsnake @ragedaisy @buthappysoverrated @bleumanouche @millionsknives + anyone else who wants to participate

1: Are you named after anyone?

I am! My middle name is from a family friend that passed shortly before I was born. I've considered going by it since I like it more than my first name, however 1: it gets butchered even worse than my first name, and 2: it's extremely close to the name of a character from a podcast that was super popular on here back in the day and I don't want people to think I named myself after that character lmao.

2: When was the last time you cried?

shgdlusfhjgdffgifdshsg literally at work this morning, one of my favorite patients was put down last night and then again after my coworker got a really fucked up call and made me listen to it

3: Do you have kids?

Absolutely not.

4: Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Absolutely, I have a very dry sense of humor and it usually takes people a bit to catch on to that lmao. Doesn't translate much online but any of y'all that have talked to me or heard me on voice chat know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about

5: What sports do you play/have you played?

I did dance and figure skating for a few years when I was a kid, then picked up horseback riding and did that for ...12ish years I think? I started when I was like 10 and stopped in my early 20's. I don't currently do people sports but I'm starting to get into dog sports

6: What's the first thing you notice about people?

General vibes, I'm pretty observant and pick up on body language very quickly.

7: Eye color?

Green, with central heterochromia so my eyes are light brown/hazel in the middle. I may have given one of my OCs the same eye color

8: Scary movies or happy endings?

100% scary movies

9: Any special talents?

I'm good at reading people and can usually figure out what issues are going to come from them immediately. Like I've had a few friends that I thought would be flaky or sketchy on first impression, and years down the line - guess who's now being super flaky or sketchy. I've picked up on a few different work relationships/affairs way before that dirt's come up, too. I'm also apparently very intimidating irl and play into that a ton so I get to be the scary dog friend or whatever the kids are calling it nowadays

10: Where were you born?

Detroit

11: What are your hobbies?

Art, photography, crafting & cosplaying(this is probably like 8 different hobbies in one - I primarily do sewing, painting, sculpting, leatherwork, 3D printing + finishing 3D prints, vacuum forming and working with thermoplastics, etc etc), and basically anything involving animals - I'm really into dog training currently.

12: Do you have any pets?

My house is basically a zoo lmao. I'm apparently a stray collector or something because I keep either finding animals that don't get claimed or they get rehomed or surrendered to me. Here's a list of everyone:

Molly: ~10-12 year old seal APBT mix

Zelda: 5 year old black & white Great Dane

Lucy: 2 year old seal & white Siberian Husky & APBT mix

Obi: 8 year old black domestic longhair

Loki: 8 year old orange & white domestic shorthair

Oliver: 2 year old tuxedo domestic shorthair

Felix: ~2 year old tabby domestic shorthair

+ a currently unnamed alien betta - haven't posted pics yet since he's still settling in, but he's solid turquoise and very feisty.

13: How tall are you?

5'10"

14: Fave subject in school?

I really liked taking history classes, biology, & art. I also really liked the geology class I took way back, & I've had to take some various science-aligned classes for my program(example: art-based anatomy class focused on visible anatomy, how bodies move, range of motion for various joints and parts, etc) that were cool too.

15: Dream job?

I mean ideally I'd be getting paid to live in some rich guy's house and make whatever the hell kind of art I want, but that isn't a career path nowadays so I'll just say artist. I'm in school for game design and plan on going into concept art or character design, but who knows at this point.

The Handsome Artist. 13. (Daniel Ricciardo)

Lavander Girl. Two days in Colorado that change so many things between Abi and Danny.

MASTERLIST. Moodboards and Playlist.

Previous part: Let's go, Colorado.

Note: (Show1) Abi's Outfit. Danny's outfit. (Show2) Abi. Danny. The pics that appear at the end can all be found on the Moodboard.

Danny POV

We were sitting on the porch. Abi had gotten the shower for her the last. She had been fixing some plants after lunch. It had been so fun how she reacted, she took Corey's arm and gave him a full speech about how those plants should be taken care of. Then, with dirty hands and messy hair, she had been working on them. Chloe had been so curious and ran to help her. Abigail seemed to like her a lot, she was comfortable and relaxed around her.

Now we were waiting for her when suddenly we heard her calling for Chloe.

"Yes!"

"Can you come!?"

"Of course!"

Chloe left and I left a sigh.

"Mate. Is it official?" Corey asked.

"Nop. For now we are friends."

"Very good friends. She adores you" Michael said.

I blushed.

"Are you going to ask her or..."

"I'm waiting"

"Waiting" Scotty repeated. "Since when do you wait?"

"Since the girl I like needs me to wait." I said. It was as simple as that.

"She wants you. She has those lovey eyes whenever she looks at you." Blake said.

I looked down at my beer.

"She needed help with her outfit" Chloe appeared. "She is almost ready"

I nodded.

Soon we heard Abi' steps and when she crossed the door I gasped. Michael elbowed me and I closed my mouth.

"I'm sorry it took too long. We can leave now"

The white top she had finished on the car fitted perfectly. The shirt she was wearing over it was loose around her body. The ivy peeked on her chest and was accompanied by some necklaces. There was some makeup on his eyes, a little black, and dark lipstick on her mouth. Her hair fell on her shoulders. She was the prettiest.

"Yeah, let's go" Corey said. "Two cars. Who is coming with me"

"We are" Michael and Blake walked closer. "The love birds can go together"

I saw how Abi blushed and looked away, but then she walked closer to me and my first instinct was to grab her hand. She smiled at me and reach for my shirt.

"I like it"

"You can borrow it any time," I said smiling. She blushed. Oh fuck, she is so cute.

"You can borrow mine too" She winked at me.

"Hey! Let's go!" Scotty exclaimed.

We climbed on his car, Chloe and him on the front. I couldn't stop looking at Abi, smiling and having so much fun with Scotty's antics, chatting with Chloe and singing along to some songs.

"I'm nervous" She said as we walked to our places in the amphitheater. "This place is iconic"

"Well, you are gonna love it."

"The last time I was in a concert was in this small place in San Diego. I dragged Molly to a Son's of the East concert."

"Who?"

She gasped.

"They are aussies like you!"

"Sorry!"

"Oh Daniel." She covered her eyes and sighed in a way too exaggerated way.

I laughed at her reaction.

"Hey, I promise I'm listening to them"

"You better do"

I hugged her shoulders and she hugged my waist. Then we turned and she gasped. The Red Rocks Amphitheater was in front of us.

"Shit. It's perfect."

I looked down at her.

"It really is. The first time I came here was to see Mumford and Sons. And it was a while ago. Years"

"Mumford..."

"Mhm"

"You have to bring me here again"

Abi's POV.

Daniel smiled and nodded.

"I will, you know you are invited now. Every year"

"You do this every year?"

"Maybe a couple of times a year. Sometimes they come to L.A. . Other times it's in the mountains..."

I bit my lip. I loved it. I loved that way of living. I loved Molly and I had never needed more friends. But the idea of having a big group to go on adventures with...

"You know what? You can bring Molly next time"

I giggled a bit. It was as if he could read my mind.

"Okay"

At the beginning of the show, I was with Chloe, and the guys were behind us having their own fun. I liked her, she was nice and welcomed me from minute one, so I didn't care if Danny was next to me or not. He was happy, singing their songs and enjoying himself with the others.

Suddenly, the band announced a new song and it hit me. Of Love and Life, like the tattoo he had on his shoulder. I barely registered it in the shower, but now it made sense. I turned to him and he smiled at me. I smiled at him and he said something to Blake. Then walked to me. Chloe saw him and she squeezed my hand before leaving.

"Hey, lady. Are you enjoying it?"

"So much"

He left his arm on my shoulders.

"This one is my favourite" He said looking at the stage.

"You have it on your shoulder, right?"

"Right" He smiled.

I hugged his waist and laid my head on his shoulder. I felt how he sighed and hugged me closer. It felt good, perfect.

(...) And the words that he said

Still echoing in my head

Don’t sell your soul for money son

Means nothing when you're dead

We all walk the same 'round here

Our blood is pumpin’ red

Feels struggle feel pain

Keep a level head

Find a beautiful love

Look straight into their eyes

Make sure they know

They’re your morning light

And that you’ll never let go

Till the day that you die (...)

Daniel moved his hand to my cheek and pulled me closer, he kissed my temple and I thought that maybe, those words made him think of me. I closed my eyes and breathed through my nose. The day had been quiet, I had barely done anything but chat with his friends and fix Corey's disaster garden. But Daniel has been there watching me with a smile. And it felt special.

He kissed my forehead again when the song ended and rested his face on mine.

"I'm so glad you are here" I didn't know how many times he had told me that, but still, it made me blush.

Maybe you are that beautiful love he wants to find.

Then Lavender girl started and I smiled.

"Why do you smile like that, sweetheart?"

"This is my favourite one," I told him. It reminded me of him, the lyrics and their meaning, how it talked about the things I was scared to do but had done with him anyway.

He hugged me from behind and aid his chin on my shoulder.

"Well, let me tell you that this song reminds me of you."

I felt the air stuck in my lungs for a moment, then he started singing softly with the band and I closed my eyes, I threaded my fingers with his and laid my head back on his shoulders. Suddenly it was just us.

I'd never spoke

To one like you before

Told you all my secrets

And you wanted more

I'd never looked

Into eyes as clear as yours

And every time I lose it

Nothing matters more

The concert ended with All the Debts I Owe and I felt light and free, Daniel kept my hand on his and made me dance with him and the music. Again, it was just us. This song was special because it was the first one he'd ever shown me. It was one of our first and it was special for me.

We walked together back to the house and sat in the backyard to have a late-night dinner with everyone. I ended up sitting on his lap. Me, on some guy's lap, some guy with whom I was kind of in love. It felt huge but nothing at the same time. It felt right.

.......................

"Hey, early bird?"

I almost throw the coffee machine to the ground.

"Shit..." I looked behind me to find Michael.

He was wearing sport clothes but looked fresh out of the shower. He was smiling.

"You almost scare me to death" I said laughing.

"Sorry. Do you need help with something?"

"Um... I was going to make some toast."

Michael was quick and followed my instructions. Daniel had told me he was s good cook.

"How are you finding this?" He asked.

"Amazing. I loved it last night. I don't do plans like this and yeah, I loved it."

"Probably Daniel already told you, but you can come whenever you can"

"I think he would carry me here if I didn't want to"

Michael chuckled.

"Yes. He is happy with you around"

It made me blush.

"Which means that we all are happy too."

I looked at him.

"He told you" He said right after.

"He told me"

"And what do you think?"

Michael had talked to Daniel about Holly. He was protective. I felt as if he was analyzing me.

"I think I hate that woman."

"Welcome to the club. You are right now in the Holly haters club. We all hate her."

"Well, that's nice. Not nice. I mean. Um..." I got so nervous and looked down at the bread I was cutting.

"I get it. Don't worry." He took a breath. "You understand what happened now, right?"

"I do."

"Abigail, if you want something with him, it's fine, go on. But if you don't... If you want to just be friends... Tell him please."

I looked up at him. I didn't know what to say. Of course I wanted something with him. Fuck. I wouldn't play Daniel. I wanted this so much. I wanted to be with him so bad. I wasn't that kind of person. I had felt the other side and I wouldn't do that to him.

"Who do you think I am, Michael?"

"Abigail... That's not..."

"I won't hurt Daniel. I'm not like that. I-I don't know what to say but if you thought I could..."

He looked at me and breathed deeply.

"Thank you" He said with a sincere look on his eyes. "You make him really happy and this is how we all want to see him after what happened. Thank you, really. And sorry. I didn't mean anything, really. He just suffered with Holly."

I softened. He was just worried.

"It's fine. And I-I don't do it on purpose. It just happens. We are both happy together so..."

Together.

"I'm happy to hear that" He said touching my shoulder.

"What are you happy about?" A sleepy and messy Daniel appeared followed by Scotty.

"She is enjoying"

"So much" I added. I was slightly shaking and I didn't even knew why.

Daniel walked to me and kissed my cheeks. Both of them various times.

"So are you and Mike teaming now?"

"Yep"

"She is putting too much sugar on it but..."

"Life is short, Mike" I told him laughing.

The others laughed too.

Soon we were all having breakfast in the backyard.

"So, the hike it's not long. Maybe half an hour or so. There is a lake in there. Well, a lagoon. It's not big. But it's beautiful."

"Oh mate. I'm exhausted. I completely forgot about the hike" Daniel groaned next to me. I chucked.

"Are you getting old? Mate, when has hungover stopped you"

"Mate I did a 15 hours road trip literally yesterday"

"You could have come in the plane with us" Blake said.

I turned to him.

"Why didn't we used the plane?" I asked curious.

Daniel took a bright shade of pink.

"Um... I thought it would be fun. The road trip. Like just us."

My cheeks heated.

"Oh shit, I'm going to vomit" Blake joked.

"Mate! If you are going to die alone, that's your problem. I'm fixing my fate" Daniel replied.

He thought about us in a long time way. He wanted us to last. He wanted this for real. So under the table, I looked for his hand and threaded his fingers with mine. He looked at me and smiled. I was showing him I wanted this too. I was doing things right, right?

"Leave them alone!"

Chloe slapped her boyfriends head when he tried to say something.

The walk to the lagoon was nice and there were trees everywhere. The place was actually beautiful. Then Daniel touched my chin and kissed my forehead and felt a wave of happiness. I didn't even know why he did it because literally a second later he was fighting with the guys and then splashing water with them.

I left my bag on the floor and laughed. They looked like kids. Daniel was so happy. I was so glad he had people like this around. It was what he deserved.

"Hey, let's go." Chloe grabbed my hand and pulled me to the water. Soon we were ankles deep.

"Shit. It's freezing" I groaned.

"I have goosebumps!"

Scotty, who didn't seem to have a single good idea, ran to us and splashed us with so much water.

"Oh shit!"

"Scotty! Don't make me divorce before we get married"

"I liked you, Scotty! I really did. Not anymore."

The guys were laughing hard.

When I was getting the water out of my eyes, I felt a couple of arms around my body.

"Sorry, Abi" Danny said with a chuckle. He threw me to the water and I almost choke because of my laugh.

"You idiot!"

He swam to me and trapped me in his arms again. I lost my breath for a second and my arms moved on their own. I wrapped them around his neck. He let a strange breath out.

"It took you too long" He whispered.

"I didn't even take me a minute"

"Sorry, live fast."

I chuckled. He had the most beautiful face. The sun gave his skin a golden shade, made his brown eyes lighter and drops of water shine like diamonds on his face. His curls fell on his forehead and I couldn't stop myself from running my fingers through them. Then, I ran my thumb over his right eyebrow and followed the shape of his cheek. He was so perfect. A drop fell on his nose and I followed it with the tip of my finger.

"Have someone ever told you your nose is beautiful?"

"Quiet the opposite" He whispered.

I leaned and pressed a kiss to his nose.

"They were probably stupid. It suits you so well. Plus, it's your mum's nose. You should feel proud of it"

He smiled at me.

"I like your freckles" His arm snaked around my waist. "They are so lovely. And your hair."

I smiled. "Charlotte said you have good genetics"

He laughed.

"Do I?"

"You do" I whispered. My cheeks were so warm in contrast with cold water.

"I'm flattered." He said.

I could have kissed him if I wanted to. We were so close. We were literally breathing the same air. Our bodies were pressed together and I couldn't think of anything else. I wanted to brush my nose with his. I wanted to kiss his face softly and taste his plump lips. I wanted to cup his face and run my fingers down his neck. I'm really falling in love with him. I stopped myself when my finger traveled down on his lips direction. I stopped and my hand fell on his shoulder. Last night... His arms around me, his voice on my ear singing those songs... I wanted all of it but I wasn't ready. I looked down and he tightened his grip on my waist.

"It's okay." He whispered just as if he could read my mind. He kissed my forehead and then hugged me. I closed my eyes and hid on his neck. "It's fine"

"Thank you..." I whispered.

He kissed my shoulder and I shivered. Maybe a kiss wouldn't hurt, right? Only one.

I pulled back a bit and cupped his chin with my fingers. I felt how Danny stopped breathing. But just when I was leaning, Scotty threw himself next to us.

We both broke apart laughing, but I was feeling something on my stomach. I felt sad out of sudden.

"Abigail... I'm sorry" Chloe surprised me with a sympathetic look. I blushed in embarrassment. For a second I had hated Scotty for stealing Daniel.

"No, it's okay"

"Sometimes Scotty can't read the room"

"It's fine, Chloe."

I felt weird the whole day, but I tried my best to fake in front of Daniel. He didn't seem to noticed and soon we were there again, Red Rocks in front of us and The National on the stage.

"Oh shit" I said surprised when they started playing About Today.

I felt a hand on my waist and I looked up.

"Is it your favourite?" Daniel asked with a smile.

I nooded. Just like last night, he hugged me from my back and I felt like crying. Then he kissed my temple and I bit my lip.

"Are you okay?" He whispered on my ear. His cheek was pressed to mine and his body was slowly moving with mine. I grabbed the hand he had around me and nodded. "Sure?"

No, Daniel. This song reminds me of an awful time with my ex and now everything seems perfect with you. And I want nothing more than kiss you and hold you but right now it's so terrifying because I don't feel ready to start and I'm so fucking scared to lose you if I do.

I couldn't answer, so he held me with both arms and tucked his chin on my shoulder. I closed my eyes and focused on him and his warmth. And suddenly he started whispering the lyrics.

I turned my face to him and he looked down at me. Without giving it a second thought I pressed my lips to his. It was a caste kiss and I pulled back soon, but it was enough for my whole body to shake. He didn't said anything, but let me hide on his neck. I closed my eyes and tried to relax. I had kissed him just like a girl kissing her crush at school. But fuck, it felt huge.

Daniel kissed my cheek.

"Don't think of anything, Abi"

Danny PoV.

I felt her hiding more on me. I was on verge of screaming. She had kissed me. Abigail had kissed me. It had just been a peck, but fuck. I could still feel it. After that almost kiss on the lake, after her scared eyes looking at me in panic, after having felt her shaky breath... She had kissed me.

I felt her body shaking and even though I wanted nothing more than to proper kiss her, I decided that it wasn't the best idea. So I just held her. I knew that no matter what, I would always remember this moment. I would always remember the song, the colours, her warmth...

Then she pulled back slightly and groaned. She cleaned her eyes, a bit swollen and glassy with tears. I helped her carefully because I didn't want her to cry, not for me.

"I need a beer, Dan" She said looking up at me.

"We can fix that" I said more relaxed.

She took my hand and together we went to the bar. Abi didn't mention the kiss, she sang softly the next song and moved her head following Turtleneck. It made me worry a bit. Maybe she thinks it was a mistake.

"Hey. Two beers, please" I paid for them and gave one to Abi.

She smiled at me and took it.

"It's fine, right?" She asked. "Like everything"

I nodded and kissed her cheek.

"Of course, let's go so we won't miss the show"

We walked together.

"What's your favourite?"

" Don't swallow the cap"

She smiled.

"Really?"

I nodded.

"Let's go then. If they don't sing it I will go and ask Matt myself"

I chuckled.

"Hey, and you? Are you okay?" I asked her while we were walking.

"I'm happy" She said. It was a bit hard to believe her. But I didn't want to pressure too much. So I just let it go.

She kept me close as we walked. I don't know what was going through Abi's head. She seemed to be fighting inside of it. She was so deep on her thoughts. But she kept shooting glances at me and it was making me nervous as hell.

When we got back with our friends, she didn't let my hand go, she just stayed there in her place, slowly swinging from side to side and dancing to the songs. As if she had a magnet, I found myself hugging her again, which she hadn't denied the whole weekend. Not yesterday, not now, not this morning.

"Danny"

I looked down at her.

"I... Fuck..." She groaned and closed her eyes. I waited for some reaction. "Yeah, fuck it"

I supposed she was talking to herself when a second later she cupped my cheeks.

I didn't have much time to react before her lips fell on mine for the second time. But this time was different. This time she caressed my cheeks and I closed my eyes. The short kiss was only pressure at the beginning, just lips on lips, but then she pull back for a bit and breathed, licked her lips and looked into my eyes. I couldn't move, I didn't want to. I felt that if I moved, I would wake up and she would be gone.

Abigail touched my lip with her thumb and she observed my mouth, just as she had done in the morning on that lake. The difference is that this time she properly touched me, she caressed me softly and opened my lips. Then she leaned again and kissed me deeply. It gave me the opportunity of grabbing her, I dig my hands into her hair and kissed her back.

I felt euphoria while kissing her. I had waited for weeks. Long weeks, lots of coffee dates, some trouble here and there, the tattoo... All those times in which I had died to kiss her and hold her crossed my mind.

Her tongue slid slowly into my mouth and I loved the taste of beer on it. I hummed in pleasure and sucked it with my lips. A little whimper came out of her and I swear I was going mad.

Probably it wasn't the best place to make out with here, so many people, our friends, everybody... It wasn't a place to kiss like teenagers, but fuck. I loved the kiss so much. I loved the feeling of her hands keeping me close, her tongue playing with mine, her lips suckling on mine. It was perfect.

Then she pulled back and looked at me with the most innocent eyes as if she hadn't just devoured my mouth with no shame. She went all shy, back to her usual self but dragging her hands down my neck. I was speechless. I simply pulled her back in for another kiss, more slowly this time, just tasting her lips and enjoying the warm feeling on my chest.

Then I pulled back and touched her cheeks. She opened her eyes slowly and bit her lip. Oh fuck.

"Hey, lady" I whispered.

"Yes?"

"You are amazing"

She smiled.

"I wanted to kiss you in the lagoon"

I smiled and waited for her to continue.

"But I didn't because I was scared"

"You've kissed me twice now"

She got on her tip toes and pecked my lips.

"Three times, actually. Four if you count the one you kissed me. Five with the one from before the beers"

I laughed hard. I loved so much when she got this nervous and couldn't stop herself from talking.

"Yeah. A bunch of times already. And I plan on kissing you a bunch more so..."

She smiled.

"Okay" She was blushing and her lips were swollen. She looked so perfect. I'm so in love with you, Abigail.

I brushed her cheek and she closed her eyes. SoI leaned and gave her another kiss. And then another and another. And then she pushed me a bit and made me pull back.

"Do you really want to kiss me with this song?"

It was my favourite.

"Of course. So I can remember this every time I listen to it"

She cupped my cheeks and kissed me deeply. I didn't want to ever let her go.

...........................

"I'm inviting some friends over" Corey told us when we were leaving the Amphitheatre.

It ended up with the house full of people, but Abi, Mike and I sitting in one corner. I wasn't particularly tired, but she was. Also, she had engaged in a really deep conversation with Mike and I found it awesome, how they were talking about vegetables and planning to plant some in my backyard. Mike was a calm guy, so I supposed she felt safe with him, which was amazing because he was my favourite friend.

Then, just as the night on Piarles, she changed. The tiredness appeared out of nowhere and she leaned on me. Battery out. She yawned and I kissed here forehead.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" I told her with a soft voice.

She looked up at me.

"I don't want them to think I'm not having fun"

"They won't. Trust me."

"Really? I feel like a granny going so early to bed"

"An old soul" I said laughing

"Is it really fine?"

"Of course." I brushed her hair out of her face. "Go to sleep. We have a long trip tomorrow"

She nodded and cupped my face. First she kissed my cheek. Then, my lips.

"Good night, Dan" She smiled and kissed my cheek again.

"Good nigh, Abi. Sleep tight"

I saw her walking away and say goodbye to Chloe. Then she went upstairs and I sighed happily.

"Well?" Michael passed me one of the beers he had gone to pick.

"Well what?"

"Oh, look at your smile, mate!"

I blushed hard.

"We took a couple of pics on the concert. I hope it's no problem but Chloe said you looked cute."

I laughed and took a sip.

"So... You kissed."

"We did"

"And?"

"I like her so so much"

"You are gonna aske her or not?"

"Back in LA. I'm thinking of a nice dinner."

He smiled as patted my shoulder.

"I'm happy for you, mate."

"Thanks, Mike"

"Are you Daniel?"

I looked to my side. A girl was standing there.

"Yes"

"Hi. I'm Sandy"

"Hi Sandy"

She looked up and down my body. She was beautiful, yes. But it made more uncomfortable than anything else.

"Do you wanna dance?" She touched my shoulder and moved her hand to my chest.

Hasn't she seen me kissing Abi like 5 minutes ago?

"Um... I don't feel like. Sorry. I'm tired"

"Oh, Danny. Only one song"

I shook my head.

"Sorry, Sandy"

"Danny..."

"No"

I got up and walked away from her.

"Dan?" Michael followed me.

"That was awkward."

"It was."

I sighed and sat with Corey and Scotty. I didn't want anyone else. I wanted Abi.

The night was fun. I missed been with my friends like this, no worries, a couple of beers and good music. Michael was the first one who disappeared. Then Scotty and Chloe. Sleep caught me the next.

"Good night" I said walking upstairs.

I went to my bedroom and opened the door way to fast. I regretted right after. I got a whole view of Michael's ass and some girl's legs. I closed as fast as I could and I think they didn't even noticed.

"Thank you, Mike, thank you" I said groaning. No bedroom for tonight. The other option was going down and wait for everyone to go to sleep before crashing in the sofa. But they were quite drunk so...

"What are you doing there?" I heard a sleepy and soft voice behind me. I turned and found Aby with her hair in a bun, a big t-shirt and long striped trousers. She had just come out of the bathroom.

"Michael has someone there"

"Oh"

"Yeah"

I was a bit hypnotized. She looked so soft and cuddly, so domestic.

"Where are you sleeping?"

"I'm going to wait till everyone goes to bed. Then sleep on the sofa"

She bit her lip and dried her hands on her trousers. I saw her thinking. She always made the same face.

"We have a 15 hours trip tomorrow. You can't sleep on the sofa"

"Yeah but Michael..."

"Come with me"

"What?"

"There is plenty of space. Come and sleep with me"

"Are you sure?"

She nodded slowly.

"Okay" I smiled. "I'll be there in a second. I want to wash my teeth"

She smiled and went upstairs. I took deep breaths on the bathroom. I needed to concentrate. She almost freaked out earlier because she wanted to kissed me. She almost cries in the morning because of it too. So she wasn't ready for sex. Probably. No sex Danny. Don't fuck it up. Slow. You have to go slow.

I washed myself the best I could. I washed my teeth and went upstairs.

Fuck. The pyjama? I groaned. It was in the bedroom.

When I closed the loft door and looked back at her, I chuckled. Abi could barely keep her eyes opened. She really was tired.

"Hey" I said softly. She opened her eyes fast. "I don't have a pyjama"

"It's fine for me"

"Yeah?"

She nodded and laid her head on the pillow. I smiled. She was perfect.

So I got my clothes out, only left on my hamburgers boxers, and walked to her. Abigail had opened the sheets and blankets for me and was curled around herself. She had both hands under her face and seemed to had finally fallen asleep.

Fine. Just lay there with her and go to sleep. It's just fine.

But I couldn't. Once I was under the sheets, I couldn't avoid looking at her. I reached my hand to her face and caressed slowly. She was so pretty. Her little freckles, her straight but slightly round nose, her cute and full lips... I leaned and kissed her cheek. It made her smile.

"Sleep" She whispered.

So I laid in front of her. I was scared of making her uncomfortable, so I kept some distance between our bodies. She opened her brown eyes.

"Danny, I don't bite."

"What?"

She sighed and turned her back to me. Is she angry? What have I done? But then she pressed herself to my chest and gasped. Her warm body felt amazing against mine.

"Cuddle me, Ricciardo"

"Fine, fine"

I snaked my arms around her, one around her waist and the other... Abi grabbed my other hand and put it around her so she could use my arm as a pillow. I knew that in no time, I would be able to feel my hand, but fuck, how could I say no?

"Comfy?" I whispered while kissing her cheek.

"Mhm" She kissed my hand. "Good night, Dan"

"Good night, Abi"

This had been probably the best weekend of my life and now that it had come to and end, I couldn't wait to bring her back.
