fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "H-hey~" "Hey," Ari replied, smiling softly at the girl. He'd sat up when he'd heard Val knock on the door, but now as the girl approached the bed with a touch of hesitation, the man slide beneath the sheets and lifted the covers to welcome her. The hesitation...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x Val's face had lit up beautifully as soon as Ari had agreed to them sharing a bed again, and he could feel her fingers gently squeeze his hand as he led her up the stairs. "Mhmm! I'll grab a few things quickly from Nico's room," she said, letting go to go grab some...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x It wasn't like Yugam to be this late. Normally, he was fairly punctual, and more often than not, early. Not today though. With Val staying at his house, and Nico too, Ari had spent far too long trying to make sure the kids were fed and ready before their evening dive...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Yeah, I guess we should…" the girl replied, sounding less enthused than she was before. Ari put away the dishes, the ceramic softly clattering. It had been a long day, a long week, really, but even then the pair had had little time to themselves. It was a shame to...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "It's p-probably fine, plus they know where the spare house key is," Valeria said, as she tucked her hair behind her ear and moved her bowl of half-eaten popcorn to the table. "Besides if they'd gotten into trouble we'd probably heard about it by now—but there hasn't...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "I j-just… okay, f-fine, but only a lil' bit!" "Ha!" Ari cheered with a broad smile, yet still not backing down. "I win," the man, impish eyes remaining locked on Valeria's as the credits began to roll on the screen. The man seemed to linger there for a moment, just...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Oh, c'mon!" Ari almost shouted, leaning forward in the chair as the two characters on screen walked past each other, pretending not to recognize each other. Finally, one called to the other and they both stopped. "Oh thank God," the man sighed in relief as he sank...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "There shouldn't be much left though, right?" "Nope," Ari shook his head, "just a couple glasses and maybe enough popcorn for one more bowl." So enough to get them through a movie if they were still craving snacks or a drink after they'd finished with what they...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Uuuh, y-yeah… the wine sounds good!" Grabbing two more wine glasses the man poured out the wine into the glasses, before going over to the microwave and pulling out the popcorn. Ari opened up the bag and filled both bowls with the buttery snacks. The man brought the...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "...no way a kidnapper would keep them more than a couple of hours tops before regretting their life choices." Ari started laughing, the truth of the statement undeniable in the man's mind. "Yeah, no kidding," he agreed. "Yeah, that sounds nice. Had anything in...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Who knows, maybe they knocked each other out?" "I feel like there'd be a couple bodies lying around though, right?" the man pointed out. A quick look around the space revealed that there was, in fact, no unconscious bodies lying on the floor. "Oh, maybe they got...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "That's bullshit Ari, and you know it." The man laughed as Valeria blew a raspberry at him. "We'd both be red whistles if I'd started playing a week earlier." "Mhmm, sure." "And, unlike a certain someone around here, I would've rose in ranks without copping a death in...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Where's the fun in that, though? High risk, high reward~" "At that, my dear, is why my whistle is red, and yours is orange," Ari said with a lighthearted laugh. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact Yugam became a character before Luthien. No, not at all...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Not gonna lie, I half expected at least one ambulance and a fire truck by the time we got back." The man couldn't laugh at that. "That's valid," the man agreed with a grin. Nico was a natural disaster in a 5' 5", pink haired package, and Dayeon was the kind of person...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "We'll be fine, after all you don't drive the way Dee does—so why would a cop try and stop us?" "Pfft, true," Ari snickered. "I still don't know how they didn't go off cliff on drive over from the airport. God's looking out for at least one of them." Ari pulled out of...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Yeah, we can definitely come back," Ari agreed as he stood up and quickly dusted off his jeans. Offering a hand to Valeria, he helped her up before starting to pack everything back into the car, starting with the cooler. "Let's hope we don't get pulled over, and...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x Ari sat quietly as Val rested her head on his shoulder, looking out across the water together. They couldn't hear the ocean from where they will, but the moon had begun to shine faintly, rippling across the water's surface in silver slivers that disappeared just as...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "Alright, it's seven minutes, or six and a half, if I recall correctly." "Do six and a half," Ari advised as he went over to the pantry to start looking for the sauce. "It'll keep cooking for a bit after we pull it off, and we don't know how long those two'll be." The...

fas fa-moon-over-sun fa-4x "You mean it?" The question slipped from between Valeria's lips. It wasn't entirely unexpected, given all they'd been through. But even if it had been, Ari was wholly prepared to answer it. A short nod, accompanied by a hummed "Mhmm!" who's tone lilted upwards at...
