Reference Posts: ‘Giantess’/‘Blacklight Bandit’ Kirby Roussimoff x Shane ’Hurricane’ Helms (Circa 2001)

"I'll call you, sweetheart, I promise."

"Thank you, mon mari." Kirby whispers as she kisses his forehead and heads off.

He finishes his stack of pancakes as their guests begin walking in one by one.

"Shane, where's Kirby?" Shannon asks gently.

"Calling her family, wishing them merry Christmas."

"She's gonna be away for a couple hours then? Calling literally everyone in wrestling?" Shannon chuckles.

"Almost definitely."

"You two now taking things easier on yourselves?"

"Trying to. We had a chat last night and another this morning and I came to two very important conclusions."

"Which are?"

"Firstly, that I need to break the pattern my parents set. That I need to find the middle ground between overprotective and ignoring so Lilith doesn't grow up to resent me. Secondly, I need to be around to see her grow up. I want to watch her grow into her own person and I can't do that if I keel over from a heart attack six years from now."

"See, don't be like your parents and kick her out because of something that isn't her fault, too."

"I could never do that."

"I know, bud. If Kirby knows anything about you, it's that you're a good man, right. Did you tell her about your insecurities over how manly you are yet?"

"Vaguely. Didn't go into too much detail, but she assured me through a lot of it."

"So, what did you get her for Christmas, seeing as you can't call your baby a Christmas miracle."

"I found a couple of things for her, but only one that I'm really banking on her loving."

Kirby comes back downstairs, immediately going up to Helms and hugging him from behind, "everyone's busy, literally everyone is busy." She whispers against his neck.

"Well, they do all live on the west coast. Three hours behind us." He murmurs.

"Hi Shannon."

"Hey Kirby, How's the baby?"

"The baby is good, right mon mari? Lilith is being a little angel at the moment." Kirby murmurs, hiding her face in Helms' neck.

"She's being perfect. Just like her Mama."

"Why are you trying to hide behind Shane, Kirby?"

"He's my husband and he's snuggly, and I didn't expect guests so soon." She murmurs.

"It's true. I'm warm and soft." Helms grins.

"Like pancakes." Kirby adds.

"I thought you were the pancakes." He grins.

"Chocolate mousse is only warm when it's lava cake chocolate mousse."

"mmm that sounds good."

"Lava cake is nice. Have you ever been lava sledding?" Kirby asks gently.

"Never and I need to."

"It's fun, I should suggest to Rikishi that the next family gathering be in Hawaii so we can bring you into the culture we grew up in."

"I'd like that a lot."

"So, uhm, who are our guests because you didn't tell me who was coming over today."

"Just the Hardys and their girls. They spent the night and morning with their Ma, and they'll be over later."

"Ah, has Scott called the house yet, he and Kev are supposed to be coming 'round at some point but he never said when."

"Not yet, but I'm sure they're having a celebration too."

"I love you, mon mari… you're very handsome and sweet and caring, and I love you so much."

"Sweet talker, I love you too."

"Presents now?"

"Yes please."

"Hey Shane, I'll race you to the tv room." Shannon teases.

"You're on, motherfucker!" He grins, racing from the kitchen.

Kirby shakes her head as she watches Shannon attempt to keep up with Helms, "Jesus, boys."

"He comes over and all of a sudden, I'm eleven again."

"Yeah, and I go into Mama bear mode and worry you'll hurt yourself." Kirby murmurs as she follows the boys to the tv room.

"We're professional wrestlers. We can handle racing fifty feet."

"One slip, and you will go straight into a wall, mon ange, don't want to have an accident."

"I know, my love. But we're safe. We're fine, and I won."

"Your prize for winning is your wife." Shannon chuckles.

"His prize for being such a good man, is me, every single day and any time he wants to rock my world." Kirby whispers as she kisses his jawline and neck.

His cheeks go a little pink, "makes me the luckiest guy in the world."

"Only man in the world good enough to make a Roussimoff want to take his last name."

He goes even more pink, "thank you."

"You're welcome, mon mari, I owe you my life because you are my life."

"You're mine."

"Kirby, how much of a miracle is Lilith?" Shannon asks gently.

"Uhm, very much a miracle, I was under the assumption that I was unable to have kids, Shane proved me wrong."

"Got the magic sperms." He grins.

"As long as you only use that magic on me, mon amour. Don't need you finding a way to get Shannon pregnant." Kirby jokes.

"If I could, it would have happened years ago." He laughs.

Kirby chuckles, burying her face in Helms' neck as Shannon gives them a look of 'you idiots'.

"You know I'm not wrong."

"You're not wrong, but you're both laughing at a super dumb joke."

"Shush, enjoy the moment, it is Christmas." Kirby murmurs through giggles.

"It is. First good Christmas since… hell, since before my voice dropped."

"First Christmas for me since dad… well, ya know."

"Well… don't say that so fast."

"What do you mean by that, mon amour?"

"See the little silver one on the left?" He points out a package under the tree.

"Yeah." She nods.

"Open it."

Kirby picks up the present, sitting next to Helms and carefully opening it. Inside is a little snow globe. Personalized. The background is a picture Helms dug up from the photo albums. He wasn't certain of the accuracy, but the back of the picture he said 'first hug' and featured a very very young Kirby being twirled around in a big hug by André, like it was her first time coming to Ellerbe as his official daughter.

"Oh mon dieu, Shane, it's perfect." Kirby whispers as she holds the snow globe extremely gently in her hands.

"I'm glad you like it." He smiles softly.

"I don't just like it, I love it, now I feel bad about some of the gifts I got you."

"No. Not allowed to do that. We forbid being stressed anymore, remember?"

"I remember, I just, I struggled to find you gifts," Kirby pauses, feeling a small kick from Lilith, "you don't count as a gift, Lilith, don't kick me."

Helms rubs her belly softly, "you're a gift to me. You both are."

"She's not a gift, she's a miracle." Kirby whispers.

"Can't she be both?"

"Fine, she's both a gift and a miracle. Why don't you choose which gift gets opened next, mon ange."

"Well, I don't have a ton, but Shannon, open the red one with the gold ribbon."

Shannon nods, ripping off the wrapping paper and accidentally hitting himself in the forehead in the process. Helms has to restrain from laughing as he watches Shannon open the box and pull out a single earring. It's a fairly long dangly one, with silver links holding together three tiny green rubber circles from the hook. They may be small, but there's no doubt they're cut from the Three Count green circles.

"Oh shit, you didn't." Shannon chuckles.

"What did you get him, mon ange? Oh, oh I know what that's a reference to, oh you cheeky little beastie, Shane." Kirby murmurs through giggles.

"Kept my circle, figured it needed a new use. Besides, you don't get a matching set until you get your other ear pierced, you goof."

"I'm not doing what Kirby did and get several piercings within a few weeks of each other."

"Coward." Kirby murmurs.

"If he just wants to show off his liking of men by having only one ear pierced, that's up to him."

"Kirby, can Delilah do piercings?"

"She's fully trained as both a tattoo artist and body piercer, of course she can do piercings."

"You thinking of a Christmas piercing?"

"If it'll shut you up, yes… if it'll shut Kirby up I'll get my nipples pierced too."

Kirby smirks, stifling a laugh "I can't wait to see that happen."

"Be careful of that. Remember when I did mine?"

Shannon pouts, "yeah, I remember."

"Did I ever mention that Delilah pierced her own nipples?"

"Jeff's gotta be pleased."

"She also was the person who split my tongue both times." Kirby whispers as she snuggles into Helms' arm.

"Mmm, like a viper."

"Snakey wife, mon mari."

"Can't hardly imagine that."

"I think it's why my tongue is sensitive along the scar."

"I'd have to guess so."

"Anyway, which gift next?"

"Well, I've got another one that's really special for Kirby."

"Ooh, Shane." Kirby whispers, hugging Helms and kissing his neck.

"It's the tiny gold wrapped one on top."

Kirby picks up the tiny present, it looks even smaller than it is in her hands, she opens it as carefully as possible. Inside is a little heart-shaped locket. Helms reaches over and snaps the charm undone, showing a tiny image of Lilith's first ultrasound picture in one half and the other empty.

"The other side is for her first baby picture." He explains.

Kirby buries her face in her hands, letting a few happy tears slip and trying to remain calm.

"You okay?"

"I'm okay, I'm just… so, so happy." Kirby whispers.

"You like it?"

"I love it, I love you too, it's so perfect."

"I love you too, honey."

"Shane, you see that dark green box, the small one, next to the tree trunk, that's one of yours."

He picks it up and unwraps it carefully.

Inside the box is a green visor, not too dissimilar from Bret's sunglasses, but neon green and made to fit Helms' face.

His eyes light up excitedly, "cool!"

"I know we talked about the whole 'what if you ever stop being the Hurricane' thing, but ya know I couldn't resist."

"Sweetheart, these are beautiful."

"I got the design from Bret and sent some ideas to Kealani, so technically this is from me, Kealani and Bret Hart."

"Then thank you to all three of you."

"There's some more things that go along with that one, but you must guess which ones they are."

"I'll do my best to find them."

"Which presents are next?"

"Any one you want."

"Ooh, Shane, open the big black box, it's from Mark for you."

"From Mark?"

"Yeah, I told Mark, as in Undertaker, not Henry Godwin, that you like bikes, so he got you something, open the box, cause it's mega heavy."

"That's really sweet of him." He smiles, finding the box and opening it.

Inside the box is a handcrafted motorcycle coffee table, very obviously something Undertaker would have in his own home.

"Holy shit…" he whispers, awestruck by the details.

"Oh wow, I now see why it was so heavy." Kirby murmurs.

"So do I."

"Uhm, what other ones are yours, if they are green, they are yours."

"There's a handful."

"Choose any of them, and I promise you will be pleasantly surprised."

"I trust you on that."

"Go on, pick one, mon mari."

He picks up a smaller package.

"Ooh, that's one's a good one." Kirby murmurs, trying to keep quiet.

"Should I try and guess?"

Yeah."

"More hair dye?" He grins.

"Nope, guess again."

"Key chain?"

"Still nope." Kirby smirks

"C'mon, can I just open it?"

"You may open it, I'm not going to stop you."

He opens it and goes bright red, "Oh my…"

"Do you like?" Kirby purrs.

"I love it."

"You wanna make use of it now or later?"

"That depends… how do you feel about including him if you want to."

"I wouldn't mind including him if you want to."

"I just think he'd look so pretty in this."

Kirby hands Shane another gift, "these will also look good on him. Open it."

Alias: Sister Spy - Luau

The Waikiki Princess was new, but its Saturday night luau already featured prominently in tourist guides everywhere. The chef spared no expense, serving up everything from an array of fresh local seafood to hand-pounded poi on banana leaves...

The food was served in course upon course, traditional Hawaiian dishes, such as roast pork, sweet potatoes, poi, and leaf-wrapped bundles of fish, mixed with mainland favorites like chewy sourdough rolls, grilled shrimp, and creme brulee.

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

A feast! My husband used to live in Hawai'i but it was his college days, so we were winging it a little bit. A major oops I made is that there are two fish called 'butterfish', and I got the wrong one. It has a lot more bones than the right one!

For fresh local seafood, I made:

Swordfish with lemon and garlic. It's a pretty dense fish, I don't recall having it before.

Ahi tuna in Hawai'ian marinade, using this recipe from Low Carbing Asian. I’ve had ahi tuna a few ways before, and this was good but I think I generally prefer letting restaurants handle it. There was a lot of smoke!

Mahi-mahi in a marinade of olive oil, lime, ginger, rice wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.

Broiled butterfish - not very good, but as I said I got the wrong kind (shown top right)

Whole pan-fried smelt in tempura - these were fun and delicious, shown lower left.

Seared kanpachi in sesame oil - this was AMAZING, shown center. I was shocked at how delicious this was cooked, even better than the raw kanpachi I’ve had at sushi restaurants. Definitely want to get that again!

Roast pork is char siu pork - we used the recipe from here. Really delicious, definitely recommend.

Purple sweet potatoes are hard to get where I live, but we managed to get some and tried them boiled. They are thick and sweet, very good. The water turned a very amusing color of blue.

Poi is also near impossible to get in our part of the world. We got some powdered poi that had relatively good reviews, but it’s definitely a far cry from the real thing.

Leaf-wrapped bundles of fish are almost certainly lau-lau. We made some with butterfish (the wrong kind) and some with pork, but I’d like to try it again if I can get the right kind of fish for it.

Nothing fancy for the sourdough rolls - they are store bought because I couldn’t count on the timing of all my fish and potatoes to line up correctly and budget time to make them from scratch.

Grilled shrimp kept simple - lemon, garlic, grill.

Creme brulee recipe was from Binging with Babish - they came out perfectly and I highly recommend them.

I’m certain chocolate mousse was mentioned somewhere in these scenes, but my recipe for that also failed so we got some last-minute from the store.

If I had to pick a winner, the kanpachi and the creme brulee are neck and neck. So good.

Lucky Ladies eat the Supermarket Poke

On Friday morning, the guys and I played tennis at the hotel before packing our bags for Kaua’i. After a kerfuffle with the taxi company, we got to the Grand Hyatt just before dinner. We ate high quality sushi at Stevenson’s Library on the premises.

Peggy arranged a tour of Hanapepe Valley and Waimea Canyon for Saturday. Our guide for the day, Noah, was knowledgeable, chill, and a great orator. We stopped at many different lookout points along the route, each of which gave us a different perspective of the canyon.

During the drive, Noah told us the tale of Humehume, the lost prince of Kaua’i. In the 1800s, the King of Kaua’i paid an American captain to take his 5-year-old son, Humehume, to the States for an American education. It is said that the King did this in the hopes that his son would return as an ambassador and help protect the island from being conquered.

From that point on, Humehume’s life was filled with strife, manual labor, and misfortune. With a stroke of luck, Humehume was finally reunited with his family by some Christian missionaries when he was in his twenties.

Noah was filled with tales like this. He was also knowledgeable about the local plants and was able to pick fresh guava fruit off of the trees he spotted from the road. We stopped at Ishihara Market for some of the most affordable, high-quality poke we’ve ever had.

Next up, we went to the Allerton Garden for a sunset tour. There, we learned about a variety of endemic and non-native plants that grow in Hawaii. The highlights of the night were the bamboo forest and the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan trees.

The following day, we left the resort in the afternoon to get to our 5-hour long Nā Pali Coast sunset cruise. The staff on board the Lucky Lady were all super friendly, chill, and helpful. From the boat, we were able to view Waimea Canyon from below, along with beautiful ridged sea cliffs. We were also lucky enough to see flying fish or mālolo. I got a little sea sick in the last hour or so but kept it together.

On Monday we got up early for a tour of the southeast side of the island. First, we visited Poipu Beach to see the sea turtles resting on the sand. Our next two stops were lookouts of the Menehune Fishpond and Wailua Falls.

Between stops, Jon insisted that we stop at a 7/11 so he could try some pork buns. After Jon’s snack, we stopped at a Hindu Monastery and an overlook of ‘Ōpaeka’a Stream. The monastery had a mini Banyan tree forest and a beautiful view of the north fork of the Wailua River.

Our next viewing spot was of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and lighthouse. There, we saw red-footed boobies and white-tailed tropicbirds.

En route to our next destination, a metal plate on the bottom of our guide’s car partially detached and began dragging along the road. We hung out for a while before our guide’s friend came and took the plate off.

Continuing with the tour, we went to Black Pot Beach which provided us with a view of the shoreline and mountains. The water on this beach was shallow and calm for hundreds of meters. We took nice pictures from the pier and then went on our way. The last stop of the day was the Hanalei Valley lookout, where we were able to see the taro fields.

We went back to the hotel for a quick change and then headed back out for dinner at Merriman’s. There, we celebrated Peggy’s big birthday and had the best fish of the trip, Macadamia-Crusted Mahi Mahi. We got Peggy a complimentary birthday mousse and candle that she almost sent back due to the lack of chocolate. After dinner, we got sucked into a bamboo store, bought some clothes, and were tempted by a mattress.

The next morning, we popped champagne at Brennecke’s before heading to the airport for the final leg of our trip.

24 + 56, Mousse and Ranma =P

An Awful First Impression

(Soulmate AU + Awful First Meeting)

Everything occurs exactly as in canon until Mousse’s arrival. Mousse goes through with kidnapping Akane to draw out this awful Ranma cretin that has ensnared his Shampoo’s heart.

Ranma comes to rescue Akane, jumping straight into Mousse’s circus themed traps, hoping that his nyannichuan curse will let him get the jump on Mousse. But somehow Mousse sees right through the glamor. They both get flashes of other lifetimes, and somehow this just makes them both angrier, feeling betrayed for no logical reason.

While Ranma and Mousse fight, completely forgetting about Akane and Shampoo. Somewhat miffed at the explosive confrontation leaving her stuck, Akane manages to wriggle free. This damsel crap is for the birds. Shampoo, who tagged along hoping to win brownie points with Ranma, is dumbfounded that Mousse doesn’t even seem to care that she’s almost been caught in the crossfire.

With a shrug, Akane asks if Shampoo wants to get ice cream or something and leave the two boys at it. Shampoo says what the hell, and they leave Ranma and Mousse to their knock-down, drag out fight.

Ranma comes out on top after the explosive struggle. Everytime he looks at Mousse, he feels betrayed somehow by this person he hasn’t even met. Mousse runs off to lick his wounds feeling lost. Somehow...after coming all this way for Shampoo he feels nothing...nothing but lingering pain.

The next arc is wacky school hijinks at Furinkan High, as both Shampoo and Mousse enroll to figure out what the hell is going on. Ranma and Mousse have regular fights but they’re getting less...venomous.

Shampoo begins to suspect that Mousse might be smitten with Ranma after she finds him doodling the other boy. Mousse has been keeping a dream journal, and feeling annoyed by how flighty this boy has who declared his undying love has been, she sneaks in and reads it.

She never wanted to be with Mousse, but something told her he’d always be there. But he’s not, and for some reason this hurts. She starts trying to needle Mousse and prevent him from getting closer to Ranma, especially after they bond over the Locking Ladle incident.

Akane is also feeling hurt, and Kuno is there to rub salt in the wound, offering to sweep her off her feet now that the cur Saotome has been making googly eyes with another man, SCANDALIZING their betrothal.

It all comes to a head on Valentine’s Day, when Mousse gives chocolate to Ranma, just before Akane can give hers to him. Akane can’t look away as Mousse and Ranma share an awkward first kiss. She storms off, angry at herself for letting this dumb boy worm into heart. Despondent, she screams about her chocolate probably not being any good anyway, like the rest of the food she tries, and throws it angrily into the bushes, where it beans a lurking Shampoo straight in the head.

Shampoo is out cold for a moment, and wakes up to a relieved Akane hovering over her. Absent mindedly, she decides that if she’s going to have a raging headache, she’s going to have some chocolate too. It’s bittersweet, just like she likes. Shampoo and Akane share their bitter tears.

Fastforward to a MLM/WLW solidarity epilogue. Ranma and Mousse run a martial arts themed restaurant. Shampoo and Akane are pro wrestlers who moonlight as crime fighting heroes. It ends with Ranma and Mousse getting gaymarried in Hawaii, with Akane and Shampoo as their respective best men.

Born to Love you: There she goes. (2/?)

Leo & Alicia

This is from the cgw (Cordonians gone wild) universe. A collaborative AU effort by @ao719 @speedyoperarascalparty @cocomaxley @riseandshinelittleblossom and myself.

If you haven't read the OG when Leo met Alicia, I suggest you do so . This takes place the moments between some of the eventa and situations mentioned. Read it HERE

Leo laid in bed, tossing and turning. The night playing over and over in his mind. Her smile, those big brown eyes, her laugh, from the moment he saw her it was like time stopped it was an odd feeling to him. sure he had been attracted to many women, he wasn't dubbed the playboy prince for nothing, but this was different. He wasn't sure what to think, but one thing he was sure of was the need to see her again, to hang out with her and lucky for him, she was staying in the palace for the next 2 months.

“Anything I can help with?” Liam eyed him suspiciously “you want to help? You hated this stuff, that's why you abdicated.”

The next morning he got up, his mind going a mile a minute. Thinking of ways to spend some time with her. He showered, dressed and headed to Liams office. “Hello little brother, what's on the agenda today?” Leo flopped down on the couch, resting his feet on the desk. “Several proposals to look over, a meeting with the zoning committee for a new park and dinner with Anitah.” Liam nudged his feet off the desk.

“No, I don't mind helping Liam. And we all know i abdicated so I didn't have to marry Madeline.” Leo shot him that cocky grin. Liam shook his head and smiled “touche.” He rubbed his chin sitting back in his chair. “Ok Leo, if you are serious I could use an extra set of eyes and hands on these. Aside from our father you have had the same training as I so I trust you to help.”

Leo poured over the papers with Liam, pointing out several things that should be negotiated to better benefit the country. Liam was happy to have the help, it meant getting to dinner on time, and Anitah would be happy.

“So dinner huh? Is it just you and Anitah?” Leo nonchalantly asked.

“There it is. Leo I warned you stay away, she has a boyfriend. And she's Anitah's best friend.”

Liam tossed his pen on the desk.

“Had. She had a boyfriend, she's single. And i'm not doing anything. She seems like a fun girl, I'd like to get to know her better.. as Friends, dad!”

Liam let out a long sigh. “Yes, she will be there. I'm assuming you want to join us?”

Leo shook his head “Don't mind if I do.”

“Leo im serious, she's not like these girls at court. She doesn't care about titles or wealth. If you hurt her Anitah will kill you. And then me.”

Leo put his hand up in the air “Let me stop you there Li. I am wanting to hang out with her, to have fun. I said nothing about getting into her pants.”

Liam shook his head standing as they walked out of the study. “This has disaster written all over it. We leave at 6.”

Liam made reservations at the best restaurant in the capital. They lead them quickly to a private dining room, secluded from the other diners. “Allow me.” Leo pulled her chair out. “Thank you.” she grinned as he took a seat next to her. Liam doing the same for Anitah.

“So Alicia. how are you enjoying Cordonia?” Liam asked.

“Well, its beautiful from what I've seen. But i have seen the airport, and some of the capital.” she giggled. “I can show you around, if you'd like. I know many secret spots that aren't on any of the tourist list.” Leo smirked. Liam gave him a pointed look “Really? That would be great. Can we go tomorrow?”

“I don't see why not.” Leo grinned.

They spent the dinner talking laughing and joking. Leo and Liam spilling embarrassing stories from growing up.

Anitah and Alicia crying from laughing so hard. Leo had told them a story from when Liam had just turned 7 Leo had just turned 13 and they were in hawaii for his birthday. There was a chocolate bar in the hotel and Both boys snuck over sneaking treats. Leo found a lizard on a windowsill, he picked it up and put it on Liam's back. Liam freaked out and crashed into the table, sending a whole vat of chocolate across the room landing right on Constantine.

“I will forget the look on his face.” Leo sighed as he wiped a stray tear from his eye from laughing so hard.

“How pissed was your dad?” Anitah said through laughter.

“Very, he grounded us for a month.”

“Yeah, that was around the time I started sneaking out with Damien.” Leo leaned forward forking a chunk of chocolate cake he began lifting it as Alicia leaned down, taking it off the spoon. His jaw hung open on shock. “Gotta be quicker than that Rhys.” She winked and smirked. “She just. She just ate my cake, of my fork.”

“You can't leave chocolate cake around her Leo.” Anitah laughed.

Alicia scooped a spoonful of her chocolate mousse lifting it to her mouth, just before she reached her lips Leo leaned in his mouth inches from hers as he ate it off the spoon. He leaned back. “Two can play that game.” He gave her his signature smirk and sat back in his chair.

“Ok, ok. It's your turn the two of you.” Leo pointed at the two.

“Us?” they said simultaneously.

“Yes, you two. Time to spill some embarrassing situations. We've been doing it all night, it's only fair.”

Liam looked to Leo, and the two women. “He has a point love, it's only fair. However we don't have time here.”

“So we go back to my quarters, have a few drinks and continue this party.” the 3 nodded in agreement and they headed towards the exit.

They walked out Liam with his arm around Anitahs waist. Leo walking next to Alicia. a huge grin on his face just as they were bombarded by flashes. The security detail held them off as Bastien hurried them to the waiting car. They slid and and speed away. Leo turned to Alicia. “pull out your phone and delete all of your social media, now!”

“What? Why?” Alicia looked at him confused.

“Alicia, he's serious do it now.”

“those photos they took, will be in all the tabloids and papers tomorrow morning. Their websites by midnight. They will find out who you are and your entire personal life will be at the fingertips of any person in this country.”

“He's not lying, when Anitah came here she had to do the same, until we were able to go in and make all of her accounts private.” Liam spoke sympathetically.

“Ok, fine. You mean everything?”

“Yes.” all 3 said at the same time.

Alicia went through deactivating all of her social media accounts. They pulled up to the palace Anitah and Alicia going to change, Liam and Leo heading to Leos quarters waiting on the girls.

“So, what do you think the headlines are going to be?” Leo leaned against the table, taking a swig of his scotch.

Liam let out a sigh “Oh probably something about a double date. They don't often catch you out with a woman. And you were with Anitah and I.”

“You're probably right. They are going to have a field day with this.”

“She's Anita's best friend, and here for two months. It was only a matter of time before they got to her. Anitah was warned about this, we should have debriefed Alicia.”

Leo snorted “Well, its done. They should be back any minute, lets not let this ruin our night.”

As if on cue Anitah and Alicia walked in. Anitah holding a bottle of jagermeister, Alicia a few cans of redbull. “We thought we could spice up this party a little bit.” Anitah grinned.

“Where did you get that? Liam tilted his head.

“The bar in the ballroom.”

She sat the bottle down on the kitchen counter and went over to Liam wrapping her arms around him.

“where's your shot glasses?” Alicia called over to Leo. He walked over to the dry bar pulling 4 out.

He watched as Alicia poured the dark liquor into the shot glasses. Filling each cup with redbull. “You ever have one of these?” he nodded his head. “Yup. Liam on the other hand, I don't think so.”

“well, this ought to be good then.” She giggled as she called Liam and anitah over.

“What do we do with this?” Liam questioned.

“Lets show him Nitah.” Alicia winked as the two dropped their shots into the cup of redbull and drank it down quickly.

“Fuck that's good.” Alicia whooped.

“Hell yeah, let's do another one.” Anitah high fived her. Leo and liam both shared a look and drank theirs down. A few drinks and shots later they were all laughing hysterically.

“Ok ok. What about the time I got pulled over going the wrong way, down a one way street.” Anitah giggled. “Oh my god, yes when we left that party. Dude we were so wasted. I don't even know how you drove.”

“Anitah, seriously?” she waived him off.

“So did you get out of it?” Leo grinned.

“mmhmm, the cop that pulled us over took my license and seen my address. He asked us what highschool we went to. Turns out his niece went there too and we were actually friends with her. He let us go.”

“Yeah after he told you to let someone else drive.” Alicia snorted, Anitah slapped her leg.

“oooh what about the time we snuck out to see nsync at the beach?”

Anita's face blushed bright red. “NO. Alicia.”

“Nope, spill Alicia. I want to know what kind of trouble my soon to be Queen was.” liam grinned, feeling tipsy.

“Well, we were in Atlantic city during summer vacation. Nsync was performing. My parents wouldn't let us go, but we scored tickets.”

Anitah looked at Alicia. “I hate you so much right now.” She buried her head.

“Oh you act like you're the only one who was embarrassed. Anyway. So we snuck out and met up with a few guys we had met on the beach earlier in the week.” Alicia continued.

“kyle and Chris. They had a car and were hot.” Anitah added in.

" Anita!” Liam shouted giving her a stern look.

“Ok. So the four of us went to the concert. They had a convertible and some mad dog. We got drunk and ended up taking our shirts off down the highway. We pulled into a parking spot and we had a makeout session with the guys. Only, we were in a parking lot of a casino.”

“Anitah! Seriously?” Liam shook his head, face reddening.

“oh god. Anitah buried her face even deeper.

“so. Clothing was coming off, things were heating up when we heard someone shout our names. Turns out my parents date night was at that casino and they were parked right in front of us.”

“Oh shit. How much trouble did you get into?” Leo grinned. “Leo!” Liam turned glaring at his brother who was clearly enjoying it.

“Oh that's not even the best part. they forced us out of the car, I tripped over the seatbelt and fell out on the ground, boobs popping out of my bra. Anitah here, climbed out crying because she was so drunk and puked, all over my dad.”

“Anitah Elizabeth Brooks! That was horrible, irresponsible, reckless behavior.” Liam shook his head “Thank god you've outgrown that.”

Alicia busted out laughing, Anitah shooting her a warning look.

“So what did your parents do?” Leo said grabbing her attention.

“Oh. Well they didn't want to ground us because that would mean someone had to watch us. So, they made us wear full piece kiddie bathing suits the rest of the vacation, and my mom brought us long shorts and baggy tank tops. It was torture.” Alicia snorted.

Anitah placed her hand on Liam's thigh sliding it higher. “Anitah.” He groaned as her hand slid up his leg. “What my king?” she cooed as he leaned in kissing her.

“Im gonna get another drink.” Alicia stood up walking to the kitchen area. “I'll join you.” Leo stood following her. “scotch is gone, so is the jager and vodka.” she assessed the bottles on the counter. “Got anything else?” Leo walked over to the bar pulling out a bottle of gin.

“I can work with this, got any 7up?”

He shook his head “No, but i have a couple cans of lemon lime soda over here. She grabbed the cans tossing a few ice cubes in the glass, adding a few shots of gin, topping it off with some soda. She took a sip as Anita's shirt hit her feet. She looked over to see Anitah straddling Liam on the couch, his hands in her hair. She rolled her eyes. “How about some air?” Leo motioned to the balcony. “Get a room you two.” Leo shouted as he walked Alicia out onto the balcony.

He leaned up against the door frame, watching her as she leaned over the railing, loose strands of hair that fell out of her messy bun blowing in the nights breeze. She wore a pair of loose fitting sweat pants and a tank top, he had only known her for two days but he couldn't help but think how sexy she looked like that. “It's really beautiful, this view.” She broke the silence, looking straight forward. “Yeah, it is.” was he talking about the scenery or her? He walked up joining her. “I spent most of my time running from here, from what was expected of me. But now.” He paused, looking out into the nights sky.

“Now what?” She turned her head to face him. “I don't know? It's like, everything feels different. Better almost.”

“Did you really mean it when you said you'd take me out sightseeing tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I figure we get an early start.” She gave him a look. “ Ok semi early start.” he chuckled. “Maybe grab some breakfast.”

“Sounds good. Maybe we should go check on the two horn dogs.” she giggled.

They walked in, no sign of Anitah and Liam except her shirt. “Looks like they got a room.” she nudged him. “wanna watch some Tv?” He asked, not ready for her to leave yet. “Sure, as long as I get to pick.” she giggled running over grabbing the remote as she plopped down on the couch. She flipped through the channels until she found friends. “Ever watch this?” she asked. “a time or two.” He tossed himself down next to her. After a while she had leaned against him, making herself comfortable. Before he knew it she had fallen asleep. He laid her down, careful not to wake her. He grabbed a blanket and pillow for her, shutting off the tv and went into his room, pulling off his shirt, and putting on a pair of pajama bottoms. He climbed into bed falling instantly asleep.

The next morning he woke up, He opened his eyes to a frock of brown hair in his face, his arm draped around her waist. Stunned as to how, or when she got there. He had left her on the couch, what was she doing in bed, with him. He carefully slid his arm off of her, she started to stir and then she rolled over. Her big Brown eyes locked on his bright blues. “Ah, good morning.” He cautiously said, not sure how she would react. She blinked a few times “Morning. How did, um what am I doing in your bed?”

“Good question.” He chuckled. “You fell asleep on the couch, I put a blanket over you and came in here. And I woke up, there you were.” they got out of the bed, and made their way to the kitchen Leo brewed a some coffee.

“I really don't know how I Ended up in your bed. I remember getting up to use the bathroom, and.” Her hand flew up over her face. “Oh god, I thought I was home, so I climbed into your bed. I am so sorry.”

“No, its ok I don't mind.” she gave him a questioning look. “not that I wanted to sleep with you. No, that came out wrong. I um, it was ok that you did, I just didn't want you to think I was trying to take advantage of you, that's all.” He stumbled over his words smooth, real smooth Leo, now she's going to think you're a creep. “I don't think you'd take advantage of me. I climbed into your bed on my own." She gave him a look.

What was that look for? What did she mean by that? Did she want him to make a move, he was good at reading people, but when it came to her, his mind was cloudy.

A knock came at the door, Liam walked in. “papers are here, they think you're dating.”

Liam stopped dead in his tracks seeing Alicia sitting at the kitchen table. His head snapped over to Leo, anger written all over his face. “I didn't know you were still here Alicia. I wasn't interrupting anything was I?”

“Nope. I passed out on the couch.” liam took notice of the blanket and pillow. “I'm going to go shower and change, see you in about an hour?”

Leo nodded his head as she walked out.

“You're playing with fire here Leo. And she's the one whos going to get burned.” He tossed the papers on the table and left.

BTS Reaction 12: They propose to you || HYUNG LINE

So, this incredibly sweet, fluffy and almost cringe-worthy request, unfortunately, took me a while to get to. 🙃 Nonetheless, I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. ☺️💖

A/N: Since these turned out to be a little longer, I split them up into Hyung Line and Maknae Line again. The Maknae Line Edition will follow shortly.

FLUFF, just a whole lot of FLUFF

Word Count 4.710

1. Kim Seokjin / Jin

Tonight was supposed to be special, Jin had announced when he called to ask you to put on something nice before he arrived to pick you up. Naturally, you assumed he was merely referencing the restaurant he had chosen for tonight's date. He had made the reservation months ahead, as he let you know in the car.

"It's one of Seoul's most excellent restaurants. They're especially famous for their masterly truffle pasta and their divine collection of the finest desserts."

Now that you finished the first two courses, you can undoubtedly agree.

"This pasta was the best I ever head, Jinnie. Thank you for bringing me here. Tonight is just perfect," you sigh as your gaze wanders, getting lost in the marvelous view of Seoul's glittering nightlife a good fifty stories beneath your feet.

"I'm glad you think so," Jin says, his hand reaching out across the table to hold yours. "I got us a window seat because I know how much you love this view."

"I do. Thank you so much, Jin. I don't even know what to say." You look over at him, smiling fondly, your glance being met with nothing but affection. "You always put so much thought into our little getaways from reality. You have no idea how much that means to me. Spending time with you like this, just the two of us, unbothered by your hectic lifestyle and my responsibilities. It's as if time stands still when I'm with you. Everything is better when you're around. Have I ever told you that?"

"Yes, you have," he smiles, his grip on your hand getting a little stronger, reassuring. “On more occasion than one. And I feel the same, y/n. I love you and every single second I get to spend with you. That's why I'm always trying to make the most of our time together. Besides, you deserve nothing but the best."

"Stop it, or I'm gonna cry," you whisper, only half joking.

Right that second, the waiter arrives to present each of you with an exceptionally artistic and mouthwatering dessert in the form of a small strawberry mousse cake, sprinkled with edible flowers and confectioners sugar and completed by an arrangement of incredibly delicate chocolate ornaments.

"Wow," you gasp. "This looks amazing. I love strawberries and chocolate. They're my favorite foods! How did they know?"

"I may have tipped them off," Seokjin winks at you, now letting go of your hand to grab a silver fork. "But I'd treat this masterpiece with caution if I were you. Really savor it. One tiny little bite at a time."

"Of course I will," you shake your head with feigned indignation. "I do have some self-control, after all. And when have I ever not known how to appreciate the fine things in life?"

"Just saying," Jin shrugs his broad shoulders, eying you intently as you take the first forkful of the stunningly light strawberry mousse.

"This is magic," you burst out after you have tasted another bite. "It feels like I'm eating a strawberry cloud. How is it so light and subtle and –" You pause. "What is this?"

With eyes as big as dinner plates you stare at the shiny silver ring dangling from your fork.

"Jin?"

You can feel your heart beat faster, pound so heavily you're sure even Seokjin can hear from where he's sitting.

"What –? How –?"

Breathless with excitement, you look over at your boyfriend who flashes you a radiant smile before he slowly takes a napkin and gets up to make his way to you, picking the ring off your fork with a telling grin.

"Kim Seokjin, what the hell is going on?" you ask, your voice trembling.

"Just wait and see," he calmly says, focused on cleaning the ring of any remains of light pink cream and bits sponge cake. Once he's done, he gets down on one knee before you, eyes locked with yours, his gaze unwavering and full of love and expectations as he holds out the ring and takes your left hand into his.

"Y/n, I can imagine no other than you to spend the rest of my life with. You are the one with whom I want to keep on relishing the pleasures it has to offer just as well as overcome the obstacles it may send our way. You are the one for me. Sweeter than any dessert I ever tasted. Kinder than any person I ever met. Strong, beautiful and loving. Never too busy to take care of me and shower me with love and affection. You helped me become the person I am today and persevere even in moments when I had lost all confidence in myself and my abilities. You make me want to be a better man. You make me want to be your man and your man only. So, Y/l/n Y/n, will you make me the happiest man on earth and do me the honor of being my wife?"

"Yes!" you soundlessly gasp, shaken by stifled laughter and tears of happiness. "Yes! Yes! Yes! A thousand times, yes!"

"Good," he sighs, theatrically rolling his eyes, Jin's voice almost being drowned out by the applause echoing throughout the luxurious dining hall. "Because it took me ages to convince my mother that you are more than good enough for me."

“Oh?"

"I'm joking," Jin chuckles, stretching to place a quick peck on your lips. "She loves you. As do I. More than anything."

With these words, he carefully puts the ring on your finger. Mouth agape, you marvel at its beauty. The elegant silver band carries the largest and most brilliant diamond you have ever seen in real life.

"Wow, Jin. It's – I don't know what to say. It's –"

"Stunning. Just like you. And, as I said, you only deserve the best."

2. Min Yoongi / Suga

"So, next year there's a gap in June, apparently. It says 'Recovery'. Does that mean you get two whole weeks off? All to yourself this time?" you ask as you slowly spin around in Yoongi's office chair, holding up his schedule and curiously eying the back of his head, waiting for any kind of reaction. Your boyfriend, however, doesn't pay you much attention and, instead, stays focused on the computer screen before him, still wearing one earphone. A mumbled "Hmm-hmm" is all you get in response.

"Sooo ..." you continue. "How about I book us a flight to Hawaii already? You always wanted to go there again, with me, right?"

"I do. Want to go there with you. Someday. Not this June, though."

"But why not?" you whine, flaunting your best pout despite the fact that he isn't looking. "If we book everything now, six months ahead, it's even gonna be affordable."

"Money isn't an issue, y/n," Yoongi sighs, his annoyance slowly starting to show. "But we can't go. Period."

"Why, though? Give me one good reason and I'll shut up."

"Because we're gonna get married that week."

"Ah, yeah, right ––" Only now, a few seconds after they have reached your brain, do Yoongi's words really sink in, causing you to choke on air.

"We – What? Wait. What?" you stammer, almost falling out of your chair.

"Ah, shit," Yoongi curses under his breath as he reaches for his desk's top right drawer, his back still turned on you. "I forgot something."

Frozen in place, holding your breath, you watch as Yoongi takes out a small box and eventually turns around to face you.

"Guess I should've proposed first," he mutters, not yet meeting your eye, utterly nervous if you aren't mistaken.

"Sooo." Yoongi stretches out the syllable before he inhales deeply, straightening his posture as he rises to his feet and torturously slowly makes his way towards you.

Cheeks tinted with a faint blush, he comes to a halt before you, his lean, pale fingers anxiously fiddling with a small black velvet box.

"Oh. No way!" you gasp, bursting into incredulous laughter, one hand covering your mouth that you can't seem to close again.

"Don't laugh at me," Yoongi grumbles, hiding his eyes behind a layer of shiny ebony hair. "This is bad enough as it is."

"Oh, no! I'm so sorry, babe. I'm just – This isn't bad at all. I'm just surprised, that's all," you explain while you try to get up as gracefully as possible, an effort made all the more difficult by the fact that your legs have turned into jelly at this point.

"Okay. Well, that was pretty much the point. So –" You can't believe your own eyes as you witness Min Yoongi actually get down on one knee.

"Y/l/n Y/n, will you marry me?" he asks, looking up at you hopefully, Yoongi's eyes overflowing with fondness and fear at once and his hands, that now hold up the most beautiful diamond ring you have ever seen, trembling so violently, you're afraid he'll drop the priceless jewelry any second now.

"Why are you even asking?" you laugh through tears of joy. "Yes! Yes! Of course, yes!"

"Wha – What? Really?" he stutters, by the looks of it genuinely surprised.

"Of course, idiot," you shake your head, smiling so broadly your cheeks hurt as you cup Yoongi's face with your palms and bend down to kiss his lips. "I love you like crazy."

"And I was almost sure you'd say no," he chuckles, Yoongi's previous anxiety visibly melting away from him as he now gets up on his feet again, still slightly week at the knees, it seems.

"Your finger, please, Mrs. Min to be.”

"Oh, of course," you giggle, the sound of that sending a hot and cold shiver of excitement down your spine as you hold out your left ring finger for Yoongi to place the ring on it. It fits perfectly.

"How did you know my ring size?"

"Tae told me," he admits with a crooked grin. "You go shopping with him all the time, so …”

"Ha. So this was a whole conspiracy, huh?"

"Sort of."

"But you picked the ring?"

"That I did," Yoongi proudly nods, still holding onto your hand, his thumb tenderly caressing the back of it. "Do you like it?"

"If I like it? I love it. It's perfect. Not too big, not too small, not too swanky but still incredibly beautiful. It must have cost you a fortune."

"It was nothing, really,” Yoongi nonchalantly shrugs, his eyes getting lost in yours as you look up from your ring to meet his glance.

"You know this wasn't necessary, though, right? A fancy ring and all? I would've said yes even if you had put a piece of wire on my finger, Yoongi."

"I know," he smiles. "And that's why I love you."

3. Jung Hoseok / J-Hope

"Thank you guys for coming today and making this possible. Like, I know how busy your schedules are, but, nonetheless, you made time to celebrate my birthday with me, and that means a lot," you announce, teary-eyed, before you go on to blow out the candles on top of the state-of-the-art birthday cake the guys had bought for you.

After you have made your wish in silence, you take a look around into the seven beaming faces surrounding you, giggly boys watching with bright eyes as Hoseok dips his finger in the cake's creamy frosting and spreads it across your lips, just to kiss it off them again a few seconds later. Quickly, Jimin whips out his Polaroid camera and captures the moment on film before Hoseok can stop him.

"Yah!" your boyfriend playfully scolds the younger one. "This was a private moment! Where's the respect?"

"Leave him be," you laugh, wiping off the remains of the frosting and observing the slowly developing photograph Jimin has handed you. "Thank you, Jiminie."

He acknowledges your gratitude with a nod of his head, a proud grin curving his full lips.

"I'm glad we were able to preserve this memory," you continue, snuggling into Hoseok's side, your arm wrapped around his waist. "It's cute. See for yourself. You look so handsome."

"Nah, you're the handsome one, jagi," Hoseok fondly smiles before he leans down to place a gentle kiss on your hair, his gleaming eyes flooded with affection.

"And now –" Seokjin disrupts the silence that has, for some reason, started to occupy the candlelit room. "– we will all step out for a bit to get some more drinks and some food for dinner. It's getting late, after all. And we can't very well all live off of this tiny cake for tonight, can we now? We have seven hungry men here, just out of the practice room. We're gonna need some real food, am I right? Some meat, maybe, to mark the occasion?"

"But, Hyung, you don't need all of us to buy food, right? That's not usually a seven-person job," Jungkook objects, pouty, nestling up to Taehyung on the sofa even more closely in order to demonstrate his unwillingness to leave the cozy spot that he managed to secure for himself.

"It is today," Jin stresses, expressively wiggling his eyebrows.

"Exactly," Yoongi comes to the aid, darting the youngest one an urgent gaze.

"Ah. Oh. Right," Jungkook gasps, one hand wandering up to cover his parted lips, his doe eyes suddenly twice their usual size. "Of course. Yes."

“Umm. What's going on?" you wonder aloud, by now clearly sensing the palpable tension having gotten a hold of the seven members, including your boyfriend.

"Oh, nothing," Taehyung nonchalantly shrugs, giving you his sweetest smile. "We just thought, since it's your birthday and all, that you shouldn't be bothered with doing chores today. So, we're gonna prepare dinner for everybody. You always work so hard for us, cooking healthy meals, baking treats. Today it's our turn to treat you, y/n. And since it's your big day, we can hardly steal your precious boyfriend from your side. So you can keep him. I think the six of us can manage."

"How very generous of you," Hoseok snickers, suddenly turning stiff in your embrace. His hands, interlocked with yours, are getting sweaty if you aren't mistaken.

"Hey, guys!?" he calls after them as they are just about to leave the room, his voice oddly strained and strangely high-pitched. "Don't you think you could stay maybe just five more minutes? It's not even six yet. There's still time till dinner."

"Nah-ah," Seokjin shakes his head, peering back over his shoulder with an ambiguous grin. "I'm sure you'll do just fine without us, Hope-ah."

"Hobi?" you look up at him, brows raised questioningly. ”What's going on? Why the sudden awkwardness?"

"Oooh," he mumbles, more to himself, it seems, as he gently frees himself from your embrace and starts pacing the floor of the living room, one hand buried in the pocket of his wide Jeans. "I don't know if I can do this. It was supposed to be perfect."

"Hoseok, what's happening?" you ask as you make your way over to him, grabbing him by his shoulders to stop him from running in literal circles.

"What was supposed to be perfect? My party? It is! It is perfect!" you assure him. "Everything is just right. The gifts, the cake, the company. Having you by my side all night long. This is more than any girl could ever wish for."

"Yes. No. It's not that. Not the party," he mutters absentmindedly, avoiding your gaze.

"Hobi, you're starting to scare me here. What's wrong?"

"Okay, I'm gonna do this." With these words, Hoseok takes a deep breath and gently shakes off your grasp to take a step back. He then goes on to briefly close his eyes and run a hand across his face before he gives you one of his blindingly bright smiles as if his little meltdown never even took place, in a matter of seconds miraculously having regained composure.

"This is a special day," Hoseok starts out. "Not only because it's the day the love of my life was born, my sun, my moon, my everything. The one person I fully trust in. The one who has proven to love me, all sides of me, the pretty and the ugly ones." He pauses, just looking at you, his eyes filling with tears. "I never thought I'd find you. But here we are. And that's why I want to make this day even more special. For the both of us. I've been waiting to do this for a while now. I bought the ring almost a year ago. Ask Tae. He was with me."

You won't trust your own ears.

"Hobi. Are you –"

Before you can finish your sentence, Hoseok falls down onto one knee, holding up an open ring box containing one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry you have ever laid eyes on.

"Y/l/n Y/n, will you marry me?"

At first, you can't seem to find your voice. All that leaves your lips at first is a soundless gasp, a mixture of a stifled sob and a hysteric laugh. Before you, eventually, manage to string together a whole sentence.

"Yes, I will. I will! Definitely! Oh my god, I can't – I can't believe it. Did you plan this? Were all the guys in on this?"

"Yes. Yes, they were. They basically made me do it. I was so scared," Hoseok laughs, clearly relieved, struggling to get up on his feet, his legs trembling. His hands shake so violently, he barely manages to put the ring on your finger.

"Wow, it fits perfectly," he remarks with surprise.

"It does. And it's so, so beautiful, Hobi."

"An emerald. Green. The color that brought us together. Do you remember? When we reached for the same pair of socks?"

"Yes. Yes, I remember," you sob as you throw your arms around his neck, burying your now tear-streaked face in the fabric of Hoseok's sweater. "It's perfect."

"I'm so glad you think so," he whispers, rubbing your back in soothing circles.

"Shit," you snivel. "I can't stop crying. I'm a mess now. Look what you've done to me!"

Half laughing, half crying, you lean back so Hoseok can get a good look at your red-rimmed eyes and runny makeup.

"Aww, my beautiful jagi," he fondly smiles, softly brushing away your tears with the tip of his thumb. "As pretty as ever."

After having taken in the sight of you for a few more seconds, Hoseok goes on to cup your cheeks with both his slender hand before he leans down to place a tender kiss on your lips.

"Come on, future Mrs. Jung. Let's go and let the others know that I didn't mess up. I'm sure Jungkook will be sad to hear that he lost this bet."

4. Kim Namjoon / RM

"Wow. An observatory?" you nod in approvement, craning to get a better look at the towering building rising into the starry night sky right in front of you. "Nice choice, Kim Namjoon. You never cease to amaze me."

Smiling, you turn around to find your boyfriend's gaze. He seems genuinely relieved.

"Good," he sighs. "I was afraid you'd think it's a lame idea for our anniversary."

"Anniversary?" you repeat, questioningly raising a brow as you link arms with Namjoon and allow him to lead you inside. "But our anniversary isn’t due for another two months."

"Well, that's our official anniversary. But three years ago today was the day we first met. Around this time, too.”

"Wow, really? I had no idea, to be honest," you admit, blushing slightly.

"It's okay. I wouldn't have remembered, either, if I hadn't come across the picture in my phone's gallery by chance. You know, the one we took that night."

"Yeah, I remember. And I kept whining about how I hated selcas. But you just took it anyway. And you said –"

"The point of this is to preserve a meaningful moment, not to look like a model."

"Yeah," you chuckle. "And, all night long, I kept thinking 'Why does this guy talk like he's 50-something?'. At first, I thought it was an act, or whatever, the whole wise-beyond-your-age thing you had going on, especially once you got tipsy and started digging out the deep stuff. Didn't take me long, though, to realize that you just have an incredibly beautiful mind."

You halt on your way upstairs to get on your tiptoes and plant a kiss on Namjoon's cheek. For a few seconds, you get lost in each other's eyes, his chocolate brown orbs reflecting nothing but the warmth and affection you, too, feel as you look at him, still unable to fathom the fact that this man is indeed yours.

"I think you already had me at 'Mind if I join you in the reading corner', though," you muse as the two of you continue your way up, headed for the telescope. "Like, it was a party. And, judging by the kind of people present, I thought I'd surely be the only one taking the opportunity to ravage that incredibly well-stocked bookshelf. But there you were."

"Yeah. I'm really glad I decided to go to that birthday party, even though I didn't actually like the guy. And when those red Converses of yours first caught my eye, I couldn't help but think 'How ironic'. Because you looked so gorgeous, perfect even, just sitting there, literally the woman of my dreams – so beautiful, I was almost sure you were already spoken for."

"And I remember that you weren't all that subtle when you tried to find out if I indeed was," you laugh.

"Yeah. It got kinda awkward for a second there," Namjoon grins to himself, dimpled cheeks turning a lively shade of pink. "I was never really good at talking to girls."

"I didn't even notice," you lie, clinging onto his strong arm a little more tightly.

"We're there," Namjoon then announces, slightly short of breath, when the two of you have finally reached the top of the stairway where you are being greeted by a patiently smiling elderly man in a blue laboratory coat.

"This way, please," he points you in the direction of the Kepler telescope that takes up a large portion of the observatory dome. Namjoon grabs your hand, his fingers naturally interlocking with yours, and leads the way, positioning you right in front of the telescope. The astronomer briefly explains the essentials of its workings and adjusts it to your height before he excuses himself with a polite bow and swiftly leaves the room, not without darting Namjoon one last conspiratorial glance, though.

"What's going on, Joonie? Shouldn't he stay here, so we don't, I don't know, break anything? Especially with you here?" you joke.

"Very funny," he playfully pinches your side. "No, I think we'll be perfectly fine on our own from here on out. I've actually been here before a couple of times, so I have a pretty good idea of what is safe to touch. Besides, all you have to do is look through that lens."

"And see what?"

"Just look, and I'll explain."

"All right," you shrug, unable to notice a subtle shift in Namjoon's expression. Hesitantly, after giving your boyfriend one last scrutinizing glance, you do as you're told. And what you see takes your breath away.

"Wow, Joon. The stars. I – They're so beautiful. And they look so close. So much brighter."

"Yeah. We're fortunate the sky is clear tonight. Just as it was that night. Which means that these are, more or less, the exact same stars we saw when we looked up there three years ago, huddled together to keep ourselves warm while we waited for your bus to arrive.”

"Wow. I – I don't know what to say, Namjoon. This – This is so beautiful. And thoughtful. I –”

You can't take your eyes off of the galaxy spread out before you in all its beauty, trying to take in as much as of the view as possible.

"I mean, I've always loved the stars –"

"I know."

"But this – This is next level. This is unbelievable. Thank you so much for showing me this, Joon, and for creating yet another memory.”

Reluctantly, you step back from the telescope and turn to face Namjoon whose full lips are curved by a fond smile.

"I love this. It's perfect, Joon. It really is. I don't know how you come up with all these ideas."

"You're my inspiration," he just says, those simple words causing your eyes to well up.

"I love you, Kim Namjoon. You know that, right?" you snivel, stretching so you can put your arms around his neck.

"Yes, I know," he grins, his dimples making another glorious appearance. "But I never tire of hearing you say it. That's why I'm hoping I'm gonna get to hear you say these words for the rest of my life."

You are just about to give a cheesy response, when, all of a sudden, as if he just remembered something important, Namjoon's expression turns distant and he starts frantically searching the pockets of his bulky coat. This little spell of anxiety go his is followed by a sigh of relief once he apparently finds what he was looking for.

"Excuse me," Namjoon gives you a quick smile before he goes on to remove your arms from his neck and steps back, leaving you puzzled.

"Come on, y/n. Let's go outside," he then suggests, already getting a hold of your hand.

"Outside? You mean, to the viewing platform? But isn't it freezing out there?"

"It's only gonna be for a little while. Please?"

"Of course, if it makes you happy."

"Very," he nods, virtually dragging you outside now.

"Okay. You're weirding me out, Joonie. Is everything all right?"

"I should hope so."

"That doesn't sound very reassuring," you mumble, resisting his pull.

"I know you're always so curious and impatient, y/n." Namjoon looks back at you, his smile wry. "But, please, just wait and see. You'll understand. I promise."

"Okay ..."

Eventually, you give in and allow Namjoon to lead you out onto the platform where he comes to a halt as soon as he seems to have determined the perfect spot for whatever he is planning to do. At this point, a million ideas of what that might be are racing through your mind, none of them reasonable.

"What's going on, Joonie? Because something is.”

With a gesture of his hand, Namjoon indicates you to keep quiet while he backs off by two steps and, the whole time maintaining eye contact, finally drops down on one knee, causing you to gasp in surprise.

"Joon, I –"

"Shh," he cautions you jokingly.

Half laughing half crying, you put a hand to your lips to keep them from blurting out further comments.

Impatiently you watch him as Namjoon reaches for his right coat pocket, the movement leading him to lose his balance and, in an effort to regain it, hit his hand on the platform's banister. Cursing under his breath, he inspects the damage done to his reddening knuckles.

"Shit, babe. Are you all right?" you inquire, struggling to hold in a laugh, as you grab your boyfriend's arm in order to steady him.

"Yeah. It's nothing."

"Good. Go on then," you grin, stepping back again.

"All right. This is not exactly going as planned," Namjoon commences with an apologetic grin, now breaking out a small velvet ring box holding a stunningly beautiful silver band, studded with numerous small yet scintillating diamonds. "But if you, Y/l/n Y/n, would take me as your husband, this shall be a moment I will forever treasure, despite its obvious shortcomings."

"Shush. It's perfect," you chuckle through tears. "And it would be my honor to be your woman for life, Kim Namjoon."

Smiling, he struggles to steady his trembling hands to place the ring on your finger, succeeding at the second try.

”Hearing that, Y/n –,” Namjoon says in getting up and placing his hand on the back of your neck to gently pull you in for a kiss. “– makes me the happiest and proudest man on earth."
