Prompt #22: “You used to look at me like that.”

No one requested this. I just liked it and wanted to get the gears going again.

---

Date nights used to be different. You were always eager to dress up and see what fantastic place he was going to take you to.

Now you couldn’t wait to be home, dressed in comfortable clothes and submerged in a television show rather than listening to him.

It was easy to see the feeling was mutual though. Taron was disinterested in everything you had to say. He couldn’t seem to keep his focus on you. And it was clear that he longed to be anywhere but there.

The spark was dying and neither of you seemed excited at the thought of rekindling it.

You held the stem of your wine glass, giving it a gentle swirl before sipping on the red liquid. Your gaze kept wandering, landing on other people dining in the restaurant. You gave a quiet thanks as the waiter brought out dinner for you and Taron. You tried your hardest to pay attention to the food in front of you and eat but your appetite had vanished and all you were doing was picking at your food with the fork in your hand.

With a sigh, you put the fork down and sat back in your seat. You found yourself looking at a couple sitting at a table a few feet away. You could hear Taron saying something but you were focused on the couple.

The girl was giggling, smiling and wearing red cheeks as the guy looked her over, saying sweet nothings across the table. The two were holding hands over the top of the table, their fingers laced. It was easy to see the chemistry between them, especially by the way he looked at her.

“What’re you looking at?” Taron finally asked.

You gave a slight nod toward the couple at the table. Taron followed your gaze and watched the couple for a moment or two before averting his gaze.

“You used to look at me like that,” you finally said. It had been a thought to begin with. You’d had zero intention of saying anything out loud but it slipped.

“I- What?” Taron questioned. “What are you talking about?”

You sighed, shutting your eyes for a few seconds as you collected your thoughts. Finally you turned your head to look at Taron again. “The way he looks at her... You used to do that with me.” You watched as Taron shifted uncomfortably in his seat before looking back at the couple. “You used to flirt with me constantly. We used to hold hands at dinner. You’d make me blush till my whole face turned red...”

Taron cleared his throat and put down his fork. He pulled the cloth napkin off his lap and sat it on the table. “I don’t- You’re being ridiculous, Y/N. That stuff still happens.”

You scoffed. “Don’t lie to yourself,” you countered. Once again you turned your attention back to your boyfriend. “We both know it’s true, Taron. Things have changed. They’re not the same as they used to be.” You reached for your wine glass, finishing it off. “Who are we kidding? This isn’t working any more.”

There was another big shift from Taron. He leaned back and forth, his gaze dancing around the room as his hands balled together in his lap. “We’re really doing this here?”

You shrugged. “I don’t know... If not here and now, when?”

Taron gave a slow nod and met your gaze. “You’re right,” he answered quietly. “We can’t put it off forever.”

Gimme some angsty prompts. I’m ready to get the writing train back on its tracks.

30 Angsty Confessions

“You can’t tell that I am in love with you because you were too busy loving someone else to notice me.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m done waiting.”

“They warned me about you, I should have listened.”

“All I want is for you to look at me the way you look at them.”

“It was a blatant lie when you said that you love me, but I don’t care.”

“Have you ever loved me? You know what, don’t say anything , we all know the answer.”

“It’s time to stop lying to ourselves.”

“Loving you was a torture and I enjoyed it all too much.”

“If only you could give me half the love you have for yourself.”

“Can I convince you to stay?”

“Thank you for the offer, but I’m over you.”

“You were no good for me and I was too naive to see that.”

“You did a wonderful job convincing people that you love me, I almost fell for it.”

“I’ve finally come to accept the fact that you will never think I’m good enough for you.”

“Thank you for everything, now leave.”

“Hello? I miss you.”

“I’m sorry, I think you got the wrong number.”

“You got me fucked up.”

“Whoever you want to be with right now, that person is not me.”

I’m sorry that I’m not who you expected me to be.”

“I thought there’s something wrong with me. Turns out, it’s all you.”

“You used to look at me like that.”

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have ran away.”

“Sometimes, I wonder if things could have worked out.”

“You know what’s funny? No matter what you’ve done, I’ll still fall for you all over again.”

“Don’t ever come back if you go out that door.”

“Say it, say you don’t love me.”

“I had been in love with you for my entire life and you decided to love me back when I finally gave up.”

“Your ego stopped you from loving me, how sad is that.”

“We aren’t meant to be, can’t you tell?”

Prompt #3: “You. Me. Snowman. Now.”

It’s been a little while since I’ve done this. Bare with me. <3

----

It was hard to believe December had already arrived. All the stores were decorated for the holidays, every house had lights on them and the first real snowfall of the season had began.

You were curled up inside under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa in your hands. Your favorite holiday movie played on the TV, leaving a smile on your face. You sniffled and reached for a tissue, wiping your running nose. You had been fighting an oncoming cold but it seemed like today it was finally catching up to you.

As the movie neared its end, you heard a knock on the door. You furrowed your brow as you set the mug of cocoa down and threw the blanket off your lap. "Who could that be?” You mumbled to yourself as you moved the curtain by the door. It was hard to see whoever it was at the front door but you recognized the car in the driveway. Unlocking the door and pulling it open, you mustered the best smile you could manage. “What are you doing here, Egerton?”

Taron offered a sheepish grin, holding out a grocery bag full of items for you. “You said you weren’t feeling the best so I got some stuff for you,” he answered.

“You didn’t have to do that!”

“Maybe not but I wanted to,” Taron said with a shrug. “Could I come in though? It’s kind of cold out here.”

“Yes, of course. Sorry,” you mumbled as you let him in. You shut the door behind him and locked it as he kicked off his shoes. “You realize it’s going to be a blizzard tonight right?”

Taron gave another shrug as he made his way to the kitchen. You followed, watching as he unloaded the bag. He had gotten a couple kinds of soup, more hot cocoa packets and some candy canes- a favorite of yours. “Hungry?” He asked.

You nodded as he held up two different kinds of soup. You pointed to the one in his right hand before disappearing to the living room to return to your movie as he made himself comfortable in the kitchen.

A little while later, Taron appeared in the living room and handed you the bowl of soup. He started another movie and you offered an end of the blanket to him. You finished off the soup and sat the empty bowl on the side table before pulling your legs onto the sofa, turning your upper body slightly toward Taron.

“More cocoa?” He offered, pointing at your forgotten mug from before.

You looked over your shoulder at the mug and reached for it, feeling how much cooler it was now. “Well... I wouldn’t say no,” you answered with a little smile.

Taron accepted the mug and vanished to the kitchen again. As you waited, you yawned. Tiredness was starting to hit. A second yawn came out as Taron reappeared in the living room.

“Not gonna fall asleep already, are you?”

“Maybe,” you answered, accepting the mug of fresh hot cocoa from him. “This cold is making me kind of sleepy.”

“Sleep then, Y/N.” Taron sipped on the hot cocoa, careful of its temperature. “Take a nap. I’ll finish the movie if that’s okay.”

You nodded and drank a little bit more of the cocoa before putting the mug down. You pulled the blanket up a little bit higher, sinking further into the sofa. Your eyelids grew heavy and soon you could no longer fight off the sleep.

You weren’t sure how long you had napped but you began to stir when you heard someone saying your name.

“Y/N... Hey, Y/N...,” Taron said softly from a spot on the floor in front of the sofa. “Wake up, sleepyhead.”

You groaned and rolled onto your back, looking at Taron. “Hmm?”

“You slept for a while and the snow started coming down heavy,” Taron started. “But come on, you gotta get up and get your coat and boots on.”

“What?” You asked, your voice groggy as you started to sit up. “Why?” You sighed as you got off the sofa and looked out the front window. The porch light and street lights showed you the foot of snow, if not more, on your front lawn.

Taron appeared at your side, his hand finding your lower back. You kept quiet as you looked up at him. “We’re going out there,” Taron said with a grin.

“T, it’s going to be freezing out there and this cold-”

Taron turned you to face him, the grin still wide on his face. It made your cheeks grow warm. “You. Me. Snowman. Now.”

It was hard to argue with him. The excitement was written all over his face, there was a slight bounce in the way he moved and it didn’t take much more to convince you.

You let out a playfully dramatic sigh as you grabbed your boots and coat from the coat closet, pulling them on as well as your hat. “If this cold gets worse because of you and this snowman, I’m blaming you.”

“I will gladly take the blame,” Taron answered as he put his own shoes and coat back on. He opened the door and led the way out, holding a hand out to you. “And I’ll make all the soup and cocoa you want to make it up to you.”

“Throw in some Hallmark movies and you’ve got yourself a deal,” you teased as you took the first step into the white snow and put your gloves on. The snow crunched under your boots, perfect for building a snowman.

Now it was Taron’s turn to groan. “They’re terrible though! Every movie has the same plot. And most of the actors aren’t that go-”

You couldn’t help but to laugh as the snowball hit Taron perfectly in the chest. “Shut up and start building this snowman,” you laughed.

“Oh, real nice. This means war. I hope you know that,” Taron warned, brushing the snow off the front of his coat.

“Bring it on, Egerton.”

Winter/Christmas Writing Prompts

Okay, seeing as I couldn’t find a list I liked, I’m making my own, with a mix of dialogue and conceptual prompts because why not.

Feel free to prompt for any ship I’ve written, regardless of whether or not I’ve been writing them recently. Also, feel free to adapt the prompts to fit the universe better (like for SWTOR or DA or something).

“What’s that smell… are you making cookies?”

“Hey, no peeking!”

“You invited over HOW many people to the holiday party?!”

Christmas shopping

“Wait, did you spike the eggnog?”

“Where did all of this mistletoe come from?”

“I’m a grown adult. I don’t want to take a picture with Santa Claus.”

trimming the tree

“Your hands are freezing!”

“Aren’t you cold like that?”

“Seriously, I told you that you would get sick going out like that.”

“What do you mean you don’t want to go sledding?”

watching movies under a pile of blankets

snowball fight

“Where’s all of your holiday spirit, you Scrooge?”

“You know, when you said ‘Christmas party,’ this isn’t what I was expecting.”

“Come on, just wear the Santa hat for a little bit?”

“There’s no way I’m letting you spend Christmas alone.”

“Hey, cut it out. It’s the holidays.”

“Nope. This is not happening. It’s CHRISTMAS.”

“Wait, you’re not going home for Christmas?”

“Oh come on, it’s just a tradition.”

stuck in a snowstorm

“You’re under the mistletoe so stop stalling and just kiss.”

“Just open the damn present.”

“Hey, stop laughing and put the damn topper on the tree already.”

“If you don’t go to sleep right now, Santa’s not coming.”

“What do you mean, Santa’s not real?!”

running into each other at the airport

“No, you’ll burn the house down.”

“It’s almost midnight.”

“This is not for holiday cheer. This is blackmail.”

“Did you seriously get me a pony for Christmas?”

“No more holiday movies. Please.”

“Those cookies were for Santa!”

“Look out! It’s icy!”

“I’d like the snow a lot more if I didn’t have to drive in it.”

“Why is it so cold?”

“Ummm… Thank you very much for the fruitcake. I’m sure it’ll be, uh, delicious.”

“Wait, you mean this whole time, you hated peppermint?”

“I feel like there’s more frosting on you than on the gingerbread.”

“What are you doing with that mistletoe– oh.”

unexpectedly spending the holidays together

“But that carol doesn’t even make any SENSE!”

“I guess… this is when we kiss?”

“Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, love.”

Chapter 60

The light outside the windows was bright. The sun hit the white snow on the ground, causing the perfect sparkle. I sat comfortably on the sofa with a hot cup of tea nestled in my hands while Alexander sat in his play pin, surrounded by toys. The television was on but mostly for background noise. I was having a hard time paying attention to anything but my sweet boy, though occasionally I stole glances at the Christmas tree.

The tree was huge- bigger than anyone I had ever owned and it was real, which was also new to me. The smell of pine filled the living room and kitchen constantly and I had no complaints.

I leaned further back into the couch, taking a deep breath as I shut my eyes for just a moment. This year had gone so fast. Alexander had been born in May and I was having a hard time believing that almost seven months had passed already.

My eyes shot open as my phone began to ring. I smiled as I saw the picture on the screen, answering the FaceTime call immediately.

“Hello, handsome,” I answered.

“Hey, babe,” Taron greeted. He offered a grin of his own. “How’s my lovely wife?”

“Exhausted but good.” My eyes shifted from the screen, checking on Alexander.

“Did you sleep at all last night?” Taron questioned. He tried to hide the concern but there was no use. I recognized it immediately.

“Couple hours,” I said sheepishly. “I napped when Alex did though.”

Taron sighed. “You need sleep, Rose. I know it’s a struggle sometimes but you need it.”

At Taron’s words, Alexander began to babble. He turned himself around, reaching for me. I sat the phone down and stood up, pulling Alexander from the pin and putting him on my lap. I held up the phone again and both boys smiled.

“There he is!” Taron exclaimed. “Are you taking care of your mummy?” Alexander squealed, revealing a few teeth. The two went back and forth though I began to zone out.

“Babe. Babe? Rose?”

“Huh?” I blinked furiously and focused on my phone. “Sorry. Just sort of… yeah…”

Taron frowned. “It’s okay. Promise me you’ll try and sleep tonight.”

I nodded in agreement. “Okay.” Alexander began to squirm so I put him back in his play pin, focusing on him rather than my phone. “Three more sleeps, right?”

Taron stayed quiet. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him shifting in his seat.

“T… Only three more sleeps until Christmas Eve. You’ll be home on Christmas Eve, right?” I asked as I looked at him again. The look on his face said everything. “Babe, it’s his first Christmas… You can’t miss it.”

“I want to be there. I want to celebrate Christmas with you both,” he started. “One of the director’s assistants said they had my ticket and today I found out it had been double-booked. I’ve been looking all day to try and find a flight that will put me home Christmas Eve but every airline is booked.” He sighed, rubbing his eyes as he shook his head. “I know I can be home on the 26th, first thing in the morning!”

“That’s the day after Christmas, T.”

“I know… I’m so sorry. I’m trying to find another way, I promise you I am.”

My shoulders dropped, my heart sank and I looked away as I gave a little nod. “We’ll figure it out I guess,” I sighed. “I’m gonna get off here. Get us some dinner, maybe go to bed early…”

“Babe, it’s 4 in the afternoon.”

I tried to hide my disappointment but we both knew better. “Alex didn’t have his afternoon bottle so he’s probably hungry.” I was lying. I was hurt and sad but I didn’t want to make Taron feel worse about the situation. “I’ll talk to you later. I love you.”

“I promise I won’t miss Alexander’s first Christmas, Rose. I love you too,” Taron answered, though there was confusion in his voice.

I ended the call before either of us could say anything else. I knew it wasn’t his fault but it didn’t make me any less upset.

I tossed the phone down on the couch and went to grab Alexander a bottle. I warmed it up, chewing on my lower lip as I tried to ward off my thoughts. After testing the warmth of the milk, I grabbed Alexander and pulled him to my lap again. I cuddled him close as he ate. He truly looked like Taron, especially when he smiled.

The rest of the night went smoothly. Alexander went down easy for the night and I opted for a bubble bath before I tried to sleep. I poured myself a glass of wine before running the bath water. As the tub filled, I checked my phone and read the few messages from Taron.

I’m so sorry for earlier. I’m trying to figure out how to fix this. I won’t let either of you down, I promise.

Give our boy a kiss from me. I wish I were there so I could run you a bath. I hope you can relax and get some sleep. Love you xx

I smiled softly and snapped a photo of the tub, bubbles growing as the water rose. I sent it to him, followed by a short message.

Great minds. I love you too.

Maybe I should’ve responded to the Christmas problem but I wasn’t sure what else I could say. So instead I undressed and lowered myself into the tub. I turned on Christmas music on my phone and sipped on my wine, humming along as I shut my eyes. My favorite Christmas song started to play- Please Come Home for Christmas by the Eagles. Normally I got excited to hear the song. This time… Not so much. All I could think of was Taron and the possibility that he wouldn’t be here for Alexander’s first Christmas.

I shoved the thought aside for the rest of the night and the next couple of days. It was Christmas Eve and I was doing everything that I could to keep myself and Alexander happy. He wasn’t quite old enough to understand everything but truth be told, it was more for me than him. We made cookies- well I made cookies and he ate the frosting before I had a chance to put any on the cookies. We built a gingerbread house, where Alexander ate the gingerbread man. I kept up my parents’ tradition of one gift on Christmas Eve, which were always new pajamas. I dressed our son in his Santa Claus covered pajamas and made our way to the living room.

The tree was plugged in, the multicolored lights shining brightly and showing off all the ornaments and presents sitting proudly under the tree. I sat Alexander on the ground as I grabbed all the throw pillows and sat them on the ground in front of the sofa before grabbing the copy of The Night Before Christmas. I flipped off the lights, leaving the dim lights under the cabinets in the kitchen on and lowered myself down to sit in front of the sofa. I leaned back against the pillows and pulled Alexander closer to me.

“Hi, sweet boy,” I cooed, kissing him on the top of the head. “You ready for your first time hearing this classic?” Alexander let out a little squeal, clapping his hands together. I grinned and began the story. “Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring. Not even a mouse…”

I carried on, accepting Tux at my other side and giving him scratches under his chin. Alexander barely made it through the whole story before falling asleep at my side. I laid down more, carefully cradling Alexander. I managed to pull the blanket off the sofa and over our laps as I held my boy.

I turned on Christmas music, letting it play softly as I laid there and took in the beauty of the Christmas tree. The longer I laid there, the more reluctant I was to move. I didn’t want to wake Alexander and I was growing tired myself. Finally I let myself begin to doze off.

I stirred, hearing something in the house. I checked around for Tux but he was nowhere to be seen. I assumed whatever the noise was had come from him before moving Alexander on to my chest. He stayed asleep the whole time, his pacifier in his mouth. I smoothed his hair and shut my eyes again, keeping my arms around him. I knew I needed to put Alexander in his crib but I wanted to take in as many cuddles with him as I could.

Sleep was threatening to take over again. I did my best to fight it off by focusing on everything around me. The tree, the music, the decorations in the room, Alexander snoozing… The feeling was magical but I was missing Taron more than anything. I let out a gentle sigh at the reminder that I had no clue when he’d be home. I kissed Alexander on the head again, reminding myself that I would still give him the best Christmas I could.

I heard a noise again, turning my head toward the direction of the entry way. I furrowed my brows, waiting patiently for Tux to appear on one of his late night run throughs of the house. I gave him a minute but he never came so I turned my attention back to the tree. I yawned, wondering if it was time to put Alexander and myself to bed.

“There he is!” A gentle voice came from the opening of the living room.

My head turned quickly, landing on the figure standing there. I slapped a hand to my mouth and did my best to stay quiet.

Taron shrugged off his coat and hurried to the spot beside me on the ground. He pulled the blanket over his lap and slid his arm under my neck and shoulders. He placed a kiss on my cheek and put a careful hand on Alexander’s back. He raised his phone, checking the time. “11:59, still Christmas Eve.” He smiled proudly at me.

A wave of relief ran through me. My shoulders relaxed and the breath it seemed like I was holding finally went free. “You made it,” I said quietly.

“With time to spare. Did you know that a train ride from Barcelona to London is about 12 hours?” He asked.

I shook my head, letting out a soft chuckle. “You rode a train for 12 hours?”

“I promised I wouldn’t miss his first Christmas,” Taron said, kissing my temple again and snuggling in close. The time on his phone ticked over to midnight, leaving Taron to look at me again. “Merry Christmas, baby.”
