relationship: Gekko x gen!reader || Mateo x gen!reader

listed tags: fluff, friends to lovers (?), reader being a good nuera/yerno, oneshot

trigger warnings: none

synopsis: Bleaching some hair gets a little heated. 

You and Mateo have known each other since before you knew how to write your own name. You were there when you each first scratched your knees attempting to learn how to ride a skateboard, down to when the first light had occurred.

Needless to say, the two of you have been through the thick of it, and when Mateo asked for you to come over and help him with a new look, well, you couldn’t resist the offer.

It didn’t even take a second after you knocked on the door, for it to fling open, revealing Mateo with a giant grin. Wingman stood to his right, peaking over the side of his leg.  

“Por fin! (1) I knew you’d pull through.” He said, taking one of the bags from your hands and handing it over to his companion.

You grinned in return, “Of course I did, I couldn't let you damage your hair alone.”, You joked as you reached down to pet the little creature, “Now come on, let’s get this over with before your mom kills both of us.”

Stepping into the small home you immediately greet the older woman who was busy cutting up a variety of fruits, “Hola Señora, ¿cómo está hoy?”(2)

“Aye, bien mijita/mijito, ¿cómo está su mamá?” (3) Mateo 's mother looked up from where she stood in the kitchen, “Todavía está tomando ese té que lo mande?”,(4) she whipped her hands on her apron, walking around the small island to greet you with a hug.

You laughed, shaking your head as the two of you parted, “Lo termino, pero eya empenso a tomar ajo y curcuma.” (5) you said, turning to Mateo, making a sour face at the thought of the combination. “She even started putting it in my licuados.” (6)

This sparked up a whole conversation between you and Mateo’s mother, as she went over the multitudes of things your mom should start eating to improve her health. It didn’t last long before Mateo came in to save the day from his mothers ranting, “Perdoname mami,(7) but we got something super important to do.” He insisted, nudging you towards the hallway that led to his room.

The older woman rolled her eyes at her son and waved the two of you off, “Fine, fine, pero dejan la puerta abierta.” (8) She half joked, returning to her previous task.

Mateo could feel his ears heaten up at the implications and groaned out a small ‘aye ama’(9). You chuckled at his embarrassment and shot the woman a thumbs up as you let your friend lead you further into his house.

Entering Mateo’s room, you immediately made yourself at home pushing away the random junk he had laying around to make room for your snacks and bleaching materials. You set up your makeshift salon station, passing a chip or two to the quartet of creatures that watched you with interest, mainly interested in the snacks you had. As you finished setting up, you threw a curious glance to Mateo who was spinning himself around with his desk chair, ‘patiently’ waiting for you to finish.

“You ready for this?” You questioned, slipping on a pair of latex gloves before making your way around the man, a bowl filled with a mixture of bleach and developer in hand. He stopped his spinning, his eyes met yours as he looked at your reflection in the mirror. He grinned and gave you a nod of approval, “Show me whatcha got.”

“Just let me know if it starts to burn,” you warned.

Taking the brush into your hand, you started on the back of his head, trying to angle your strokes perfectly so as to not get any of the bleach onto his skin. This process took a while and continued till you finally reached the front of his head.

You were so close, he thought, your legs straddled his own as you leaned in closer for better precision around his hairline. Mateo could feel his heart pounding rapidly in his chest, his hands twitched as they tensed up to his side. Of course, he was aware of the fact that he had a thing for you, he always did. He never acted on it directly though, but with you so close he- “Quedate quieto.” (10) You practically whispered as you placed one of your gloved hands under his chin, tilting his head up for a better angle.

Mateo’s face burned as you cradled his head, he’s never gotten such an up-close view of you before. He swore he could die a happy man with a view like this. He watched as your eyebrows scrunched and contorted with a look of concentration. The way your lips pursed ever so slightly as you meticulously painted his hair with bleach, he had half a mind to take the brush from you and pull you down for a kiss himself.

“And I think that should be it.” You stated as you finished applying the last of the bleach to Mateo’s hair. It was only then, as you pulled back slightly to inspect your work, did you realize the position you had placed yourself in. Your breath hitched as your eyes met Mateos' own, your hand still hovering gently under his chin.  

You didn’t know what came over you, maybe it was the fact that you could feel the warmth of his body under your skin that made your head feel light. Maybe you simply had breathed in too much of the bleach and now it was messing with your head. Whatever the cause you couldn’t help yourself when you leaned down and captured his partially chapped lips for a kiss.

Mateo was stunned by your action but quickly recovered and reciprocated the kiss. His hands grazed over the top of your body gently, dipping between every curve and crevice trying to memorize every detail into the depths of his brain. He shifted you in closer, one of his hands making its way to your thigh to hold you in place, while the other came around to grip your waist.

The two of you lost track of time in the little universe you created where only the two of you existed. Neither of you could tell when Mateo had finally brought you down to sit comfortably in his lap, or when you had lost the bowl of bleach as or when your other hand wrapped around his neck, but the two of you weren’t in the mood to care.

Key:

1. Finally 2. (formal greeting to an older woman) Hello Ma’am, how are you? 3. mijita/mijito: a term of endearment typically from an older person to a younger person, used in a similar context as sweetie. Not to be used in a romantic sense/relationship. "Sweetie, how is your mom?" = "Mijita, how is your mom?" 4. Is she still drinking the tea I sent her? 5. She finished it, but has started to drink ginger and turmeric instead. 6. (a shake/smoothie) 7. Forgive me, mom. /Excuse me, mom./ I’m sorry, mom. 8. But, leave the door open. 9. Mom, please. (a whiney, complained/embarrassed way of saying it) 10. Stay still.

Semana Santa Spain

Semana Santa is observed annually in Spain during the week immediately before Easter and this year it takes place from April 2 to 9. Also known as Holy Week, Semana Santa is observed by Catholics to commemorate the Passion of Jesus Christ, his suffering, and death on the cross. Throughout the week, religious brotherhoods and fraternities carry out penance processions through the streets of almost every Spanish city and town. These activities attract visitors from outside Spain and are often advertised in hand guides and international fairs.

History of Semana Santa Spain

Semana Santa commemorates the Passion of Christ, that is, the suffering of Jesus before his crucifixion. The term ‘passion’ derives from the Latin verb ‘patior’ or ‘passus sum,’ meaning to ‘endure,’ ‘suffer,’ or ‘bear.’ In Catholic tradition, this often refers to specific events from the Christian Bible, such as the ‘Triumphant Entry’ of Jesus into Jerusalem. He rode into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey, and as he did, the people greeted him as the Jewish Messiah, the ‘Son of David.’

When he arrived, he went into the Jerusalem temple and expelled the money changers who were doing business there. Later, Jesus and his disciples shared a meal known as the ‘Last Supper,’ from where Judas Iscariot left to betray Jesus to the religious leaders of Israel. Another important event was Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed until his sweat became like drops of blood. Immediately after this, he was arrested and put on trial, then unjustly declared guilty. Jesus was subsequently crucified, but after three days, he rose again.

Religious brotherhoods and fraternities hold penance processions through the streets of Spain during Holy Week. The participants or brothers typically use conical hooded penitent gowns to conceal their faces. They wear shackles on their feet and carry wooden crosses or candles. The ‘pasos,’ which floats with sculptures that depict scenes from the Passion of Christ or the Sorrows of the Virgin Mary, are another fascinating aspect of the processions. Typically, marching bands, or ‘marchas procesionales’ in Spanish, accompany the floats. Holy Week in Spain is more than just a religious celebration; it also draws visitors from worldwide who come to see the processions. Typically, the processions are advertised at significant international fairs, hand guides, and on T.V.

Why We Love Semana Santa Spain

Christ paid the ultimate price

Christ touched many lives

Christ’s followers heal the world

Jesus gave himself as a sacrifice for sins, offering his life and blood. He consented to the worst kind of beating, spitting, and killing, to demonstrate selfless love to everyone who accepts him as Lord.

While on earth, Jesus left footprints in the lives of all who met him. He lifted the oppressed, healed the sick, and raised the dead. Till today, his impact on the world has not diminished.

Jesus set an example for his followers, teaching them to love enemies and do good to all. This peaceful lifestyle can be seen perpetuated by Christ’s followers in our world today, centuries after his ascension to heaven.

Enchanting Experiences at Pico De Loro Beach and Country Club

Our second day at Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club offered even more fun and exciting activities inside this luxury residential resort village (Read about our first day here). It was just my first time staying at Pico Sands Hotel and I was amazed to see so many different areas to explore and experience at Pico de Loro.

Our morning started with a buffet breakfast at Pico Restaurant on the ground floor of Pico Sands Hotel. The buffet spread comes with an assortment of breads and jams to start your day. Soups, cereals, and salads are also on display.

I prefer the more traditional Filipino breakfast with garlic rice and beef tapa as my main dish. They also had pork and beans, fish fillet, chicken afritada, and more together with coffee or hot chocolate.

There's also a dedicated Egg Station outside at the garden area with pancakes and waffles as well.

Guests can choose to sit indoors or at the al fresco garden area facing the lagoon. This is arguably the better choice especially if you want to be closer to nature as you enjoy your breakfast.

Since the Pico de Loro Country Club was just right next door, we couldn't resist playing another round of bowling. It would be more fun if we had our friends or barkada with us on this trip, so maybe we'll bring them along next time.

We had lunch at the Sun Coral Café at the exclusive Pico de Loro Beach Club which is only for members and their accompanied guests. The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and homegrown Filipino favorites coupled with relaxed family-style service.

We started with a sample of their Tapas Frias including canapes of Jamon Serrano and Manchego plus Smoked Salmon and Kesong Puti. It also included a pair of Croquetas de Espinacas Con Queso and Calamares a la Romana.

I really liked the Sopa de Ajo bread soup with garlic, chorizo and egg. This soup dish is made with just simple ingredients but it all works well together.

Look at all of the dishes they brought out just for the two of us! The Paella Negra con Camarones comes with shimp and squid ink and is good for sharing. Also on the table was the Lengua con Champignon which has beef tongue stewed in mushroom sauce and the Callos a la Madrileña with its beef tripe and chorizo. We also had the Beef Salpicao and the Pollo de Moruno chicken kebabs with yogurt drizzle.

For dessert, our plate came with the Casidielles (P320), a walnut filled puff pastry which was served with Gelato de Crema Catalana (P250) using their homemade custard gelato.

After our lunch, we went on a short ride to visit Pico de Loro's Eco Mangrove Forest where you can discovery nature's sanctuary with their guided mangrove tour. The Hamilo Coast is home to a 10-hectare mangrove forest, considered the largest in Nasugbu, Batangas. It has over 10,000 mangrove trees and vibrant biodiversity.

With our expert guide educating us along the way, we explored different mangrove trees and mud crabs holes on the ground. We were supposed to go on a Mangrove Boat Tour along the river to witness the serene beauty of the forest and learn about mangroves, their importance to the eco system, and the wildlife that takes residence within it. However, the weather spoiled our plans yet again so we had to end our tour here.

We had time to explore more of Pico de Loro so we went to the Boardwalk which serves as the best photo spot along the resort. We also visited the St. Therese Chapel of the Child Jesus just nearby with its breathtaking view of the coast.

When we got back to the hotel, we were surprised to see this elegant and romantic setup that Pico Restaurant had prepared for us. Pico Sands Hotel offers Unique Private Dining experiences for its guests where you can have a private dinner setup at the gardens or a romantic starlit dinner by the beach.

We were really impressed with our table setup so we were also excited to see the special dinner menu.

For appetizers, we had the Alforno Melanzane with Toasted Focaccia (P320). This roasted eggplant and cheese dip was a tasty starter to whet our appetites.

Next was the Italian Minestrone Soup topped with croutons and parmesan. I loved how rich and thick the soup was with its tomato base balanced by the cheese and bread.

Our main entree uses Sustainable Gastronomy with its Sousvide Batangas Beef with herbs and Pan Seared Pompano fish in lemon caper sauce. These are sourced locally from neighboring farmers which bring livelihood opportunities to the community. It also comes with mashed sweet potato and roasted vegetables.

Lastly, for dessert, we had the Chocnut Tiramisu (P320) which has coffee-soaked lady fingers in layers of cream. This was another delightful way to end our dinner.

But our day was not yet done because we had our appointment for a couple's massage at Rain, The Spa located on the hotel's lobby floor.

Pamper yourself at Rain, The Spa as their gentle touch of massage, the power of herbal remedies, and the magic of energy balancing restore your mind, body, and spirit. We were so tired from the day's activities so we were really looking forward to our relaxing massage.

We had one of their Signature Spa Experiences, the 60-minute Awaken the Senses Massage. This is an aromatic massage where gentle hands work to ease tired muscles with a combination of deep comforting and relaxing strokes using specially blended oils. This led to a long and relaxing slumber for us that evening.

Before we checked out on our last day, we had one more lunch at Pico Restaurant to power us through our journey back home. Chef Charles once again spoiled us with their exquisite menu.

The Azurea Garden comes with balsamic coconut vinaigrette, alugbati, lettuce, turnips, mint leaves, radish, cashew, and kesong puti.

It seemed like they saved the best for last because the Bulalosso is definitely a memorable main dish. This is the popular Batangas beef bone marrow or bulalo cooked ossobuco style. It is a sharing plate good for 4 persons but we managed to finish it by ourselves! That's how good it really is.

We still had space for dessert so we ordered the Milo Dinosaur Gelato (P180) and the Strawberry Gelato (P180) to finish our lunch. We would like to thank Celine Arenillo, Cluster Communications Manager for Pico de Loro, Joseph, and SM Hotels for hosting our wonderful stay at Pico Sands Hotel. We have so many fond memories of our time here and we truly can't wait to go back.

Day 20 to Ironwood Nat'l Monument

This morning's run was in Tombstone, but in residential neighborhoods and even past the modern post office and huge very new gas station. It was very weird after immersing ourselves in the saloon, brothel, and gun fighting days on dirt Main street of the 1800s.

On the drive to Ironwood Nat'l Monument, southwest of Tucson, we saw no less than 3 pecan farms in a few miles of each ither. We've seen one in Ajo and some in other places in AZ. So are most of the pecans in the US grown in AZ?

Shockingly we got our remote spot from 2021 (scroll back to 2021 Day 13 - 26)! We love Ironwood, and especially this spot. It's down a 100yd path surrounded by trees, cactus and bushes so no one even driving on the main path sees us or us them. The first 2 years we stayed the full BLM limit of 14 days (and we've pushed it a day or 2 as well). It feels like home when we get here. Analyzing this we know it's not just because we've been here before, because there are other places we've made camp more than once and don't have quite this same feeling. It's the unique combination of remoteness, but with coffee shops 40 min away. It's that we can see our friends, Kim and Sheryl (out here and at their home). It's surrounded by endless miles of ranches, but with the lights of Tucson suburbs in the distance. It's the glideport so we have air entertainment on the weekends. It's the beautiful Santa Catalina mountains on one side and a ring of other mountains on the other 3. It's the weather, the quiet, the cactus, the interesting paths for running and hiking.

And with all that, the minute we parked Bill had to drive north of Phoenix to pick up a new-to-us tow bar (some useful features our current one doesn't have, and a woo hoo price!). Fast forward 7 1/2 hrs - even with the quick grocery store run he should have been home in about 6 hrs. Just when I was about to call him, he called to say he was lost (think "remoteness" and think very dark and think about finding your way down a mile and half of dirt, rutted path which in the light of only headlights seems to have many, many branches off. So of course it turns out when he called he was 100 yds away theifuhf trees and a wash! Another one for the books in Carolyn & Bill's excellent adventures.

Today is a great day! I’m with Revel owners @sharkboyg & @adhoc62 in southern Arizona. We are about to blast off on the El Camino Del Diablo overland route through one of the most remote sections of AZ. It will take us 3 days to explore the 150 miles of the El Camino Del Diablo. We will drive through historical sites, graves, border patrol stations and desolate Sonoran desert beauty like no other. @winnebagorvs @mercedesbenzvansusa @agileoffroad (at Ajo, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnmazt4LzLr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Arizona - Border Patrol Intercepts 128 Person Caravan

Arizona – Border Patrol Intercepts 128 Person Caravan

The Border Patrol intercepted a 128 person caravan that attempted to cross into Arizona, according to the Washington Examiner. The caravan was made up of people from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. The  CBP checked them all out for health, then turned them over to ICE for deportation.

Which we’re sure will cause a big row with the leftists, since there were women and children within…
