his plan had been to spend the entire day on the slopes, fully enjoying the last vacation before the new season kicked off, but despite the sun still high in the sky, feet dragged through the snow after the other. each step took him further away from the mountain. he removed his googles and adjusted his hold on his snowboard.ย โย ย i still say we had time for one more run. this is a vacation; what's the rush? โ
" rush ? there is none. " truth be told, atlas was having a great time at the piste. that was until his knee started betraying him again, making something he was enjoying into something painful. still, he liked being able to put the goggles his secret santa didn't give him to use. " if you're really so insistent, we can head back. " disregarding the fact that it wasn't the best idea for his body right now, because he refused to show weaknesses. " i'm not trying to kill the mood. "

" if that tastes as fancy as it sounds, i'm so incredibly down. " despite never being one to order things that sounded too complicated, miles still had an open mind. how could he not be, as such an enjoyer of food ? " i think you've made clear that your preference is the ruinart blanc de blancs while i have none. besides, in case of a next round, we can switch it up. "
with the slightest tilt of her head, brunette observes the small cafe and its ever-growing lineup of customers from a distance. "looks busy, but that's probably a good sign," she muses aloud. "might be worth queuing up nowโฆ or we could keep looking around, see if things calm down later?" igraine tacks on with with an almost pleading glance toward companion. she's indecisive, to say the least, but just delighted to be surrounded by fresh, powdery snow that has yet to turn gray.

" let's stay in the queue and see how fast it moves ? " miles suggested, not a fan of queueing, but okay with it if it didn't leave them waiting for forever. " i don't think there are any guarantees that it will slow down, is all. everyone is going to want a warm drink with this cold and i can't blame them. " not to mention that the surroundings here were beautiful, with a view over one of the pistes where they could watch people do their tricks ... or fall. whichever one caught their eye at that moment. " besides, now i'm dying to know what the hype is all about. "

" it is. what gave it away ? " miles realized that he looked terrified. most things he had heard in the past about the sport were that a nasty fall could easily put you in the hospital. one of the few places in switzerland he was definitely not excited to explore. he had himself bundled up in mostly black and dark green, liking how the dark clothes contrasted against the pale snow. " i'm excited to explore the piste, just less excited to break my neck. "
โ i try my best. โ humbleness didn't extend beyond the surface. words and actions performed in service of golden image, not without its cracks where rot had slipped through before being patched up. tonight, he was loyal to good behavior. hands clasped behind his back.ย โย ย less than either of our max bench press weight, โย ย he answered after a moment of thought. masked individual didn't look out of shape.ย โย ย the balance is a different beast. one wrong step and the entire tower wold probably crash. talk about a mess. โย ย and an embarrassment.
" who are you trying to impress, then ? " he asked, taking a look around to see if there was anyone paying attention to sebastian. most people here didn't act kind because they were it, they just did because they wanted others to think it. atlas had a hand at it himself sometimes. he took a sip from his glass as he listened to the other, taking his next words as a compliment. that probably meant that atlas looked like he was in shape, despite the fact he had let himself go a little after the surgeries that had failed to magically fix him. " can you imagine ? that's a lot of glasses ... and a lot of champagne. one slip, and a lot of people's thousand - dollar outfits would be toast. "

ifย jasperย hadย itย theirย way,ย theyย wouldย alreadyย beย atย homeย withย aย goodย book.ย theย fireworksย couldย haveย beenย enjoyedย fromย theirย smallย apartmentย downย theย way,ย sharedย withย hisย sisterย andย overcrowdedย withย twoย peopleโsย worthย ofย stuffย inย aย spaceย thatย shouldย haveย onlyย reallyย fitย one.ย still,ย itย wasย home,ย andย itย wasย betterย thanย theย jeersย andย screamsย andย drunkenย scufflesย happeningย aroundย themย asย thoughย theyย wereย trappedย inย someย sortย ofย humanย zoo.ย forย mostย ofย theย nightย theย musicianย hadย beenย safelyย tuckedย away,ย undisturbed,ย inย oneย ofย theย sideย rooms,ย whereย heย hadย beenย flickingย throughย oldย booksย andย admiringย theย collectionย theย expansiveย libraryย hadย toย offer.ย nowย heย foundย himselfย staringย atย aย figureย thatย heย recognized,ย theย suitย ofย whichย theyย hadย pickedย outย andย triedย onย together,ย gigglingย likeย youngย boysย onย theย playgroundย asย theyย hadย emergedย fromย theirย cubiclesย andย showedย offย theirย selectionsย forย theย night.ย โmiles ? โย askedย theย man,ย slowlyย shiftingย offย hisย maskย enoughย forย theย otherย toย catchย aย glimpseย ofย hisย mousyย features,ย โiย wonderedย whereย youย were.โ
one of the things miles disliked the most about crowded places was how difficult it became to find certain people. even though they had picked out outfits together, they had arrived separately and now miles struggled finding them among the mass of people. he had sworn he could recognize jasper anywhere. but the mass of people in the same place had overwhelmed him once again. something far from ideal for someone who did so many live performances. now, instead of actively searching he decided to put his mind to work. when thinking about where jasper could be hiding, something quiet near books was the first to come to mind. after all, their first conversation had been about how much they liked to read books. when his eyes fell on a familiar looking figure in one of the side rooms he walked by, a smile was quick to creep onto his face. " jasper. " he answered. " i've been looking for you, too. " he said, taking in the other's presence. it seemed like he could never get enough from looking at them. " i knew you'd be looking at books somewhere. there's just ... so many of them. " just like people. everything in here seemed to overwhelm him, but something about jasper's presence was actually very calming. " i know i've seen you in this suit before, but i'll still take my chance to tell you that you look gorgeous. "
โyouย can'tย tellย meย youย aren'tย lookingย atย everyone'sย outfits ? โย leylaย scrunchedย herย noseย andย shookย herย head.ย itย wasย oneย ofย herย favouriteย hobbies,ย sittingย inย theย windowย ofย aย cafรฉย andย watchingย allย ofย theย questionably - dressedย citizensย ambleย pastย whoย wereย noneย theย wiser.ย itย wasย fascinating,ย andย itย wasย freeย ...ย cheapย meansย ofย entertainingย herselfย wereย worthย theirย weightย inย goldย thoseย days.ย โtheย blazerย looksย cuteย onย you,ย butย ifย you'reย tryingย toย flirtย withย meย justย knowย i'mย soย farย outย ofย yourย leagueย it'sย painful.โย forย aย momentย sheย steppedย backwardsย andย surveyedย theย otherย person'sย get - up.ย itย wasย clean,ย classy,ย andย onย themeย โย whatย moreย couldย sheย askย for ?ย โiย seeย confidence.ย iย seeย anย inflatedย ego,ย maybe.ย howย closeย amย i ? โย darkย eyesย returnedย toย theย floor.ย sheย extendedย aย hand,ย gesturingย toย aย pairย ofย blackย sneakersย movingย throughoutย theย guests.ย โlook.ย whoeverย thatย isย looksย likeย they'veย justย comeย straightย fromย footballย practice.โ
" clothes don't interest me that much. " he took a look around, eyes brushing over the people mass. everyone was showing off and he respected them for it, but the only ones really drawing his attention were the people who were breaking the dresscode. was that the point ? " ... can you imagine being ballsy enough to wear bright colours knowing you're being watched ? are people just trying to make a point ? " he wouldn't know what the point would be, but he respected it. " ouch. " was the only thing he could say when being told of. miles wasn't really trying to be flirty, he had already set his sights on someone, but that didn't stop his feelings from being hurt. " if my ego really was inflated you just deflated it. i like to think i'm not that bad to look at. " however he was a musician, not a model, looks didn't matter to him like they did to others. " the media sees me the same as you do. not sure what that says. maybe you're both right, maybe you're letting the media form your opinions. " he shrugged, several people were keen to make him seem horrible. he wasn't going to stop them. when she pointed out someone he moved his gaze. " at least they look comfortable and match the dress code. if one person is going at it on the dance floor tonight, it will probably be them. " but that was just miles judging based off of appearance.
despiteย theย maskย โย whichย wasย tippedย upwardย toย revealย hisย salt - and - pepperย beardย โย sรธrenย wasย ratherย unmistakableย inย hisย appearance.ย anย unevenย gait,ย aย strangeย interminglingย ofย danishย andย swedishย accentsย ;ย itย wasย noย surpriseย thatย atlasย recognisedย him.ย thereย hadย beenย manyย aย longย shiftย whereย theย doctorย hadย noticedย theย youngย manย inย theย waitingย room.ย onย aย fewย occasions,ย sรธrenย himselfย hadย beenย theย oneย toย checkย atlas'sย kneeย andย ensureย thereย wasย nothingย toย beย concernedย about.ย thisย wasย quiteย theย differentย situation,ย andย yetย itย wasย aย reliefย forย himย toย allowย hisย wallsย down.ย evenย ifย onlyย forย aย moment.ย whenย heย hadย chewedย enoughย forย hisย voiceย toย beย clear,ย heย responded to his patientย ;ย โmyย wifeย doesn'tย feedย me.ย iย needย toย getย everythingย iย can ! โย backย inย denmark,ย thereย wasn'tย muchย inย waysย ofย localย cuisineย beyondย fancyย fishย andย potatoes.ย โwhatย doย youย think ?ย they'reย good,ย right ? โ
" wait ... if your wife doesn't feed you, why don't you feed yourself ? " atlas his inability to tell jokes apart from reality was really bad sometimes. it was nothing to be proud of, but it was very atlas regardless. unfortunately. atlas studied the other, the mask on his face wasn't enough for atlas to confuse him with someone else. the dane was a lot taller than most people he knew and atlas considered his accent to be unique. maybe it wasn't, but in his world it was. he chewed down the crostini, not opening his mouth until he swallowed it. " you know what. the texture of mushrooms is usually one of my arch nemises, but this isn't half bad. " atlas wasn't really a picky eater, but he was a bit close - minded. if he decided years ago that he didn't like something, he was going to keep saying it without ever trying again. unless someone suggested him to, he was easy to be persuaded. " is this the best one you've tried so far ? because i swear we can do better ! " a pause. " no offense ! "
โย ย santaย ?ย ย โย rubyย considersย theย possibilityย โย drunkenย mindย consideringย it.ย โย ย seemsย aย lotย toย doย forย someoneย whoseย elvesย doย allย theย work.ย ย โ
" yeah ? maybe he's just trying to find more reasons to boss the elves around ? " his arguments felt strong enough to entertain them. " there ain't no rest for the wicked, you get me ? "

" don't say that, or i'll run, " he said. it was unfortunate how similarly dressed all the people in suits were as opposed to the women who all looked breath - taking in pretty dresses and high heels. however, he was annoyingly proud of the blazer he had found with all the pretty fireworks on it. it felt fitting. " i don't think i possess the same skills as you. all i see when looking at your shoes is that they're pretty and that they suit you. " he looked down at his own then, deep in thoughts. " what do mine say about me ? " he asked then, looking back up at her. " nothing bad, i hope ? " they weren't anything special he supposed, but they looked good with the clothes he was wearing. " also, please explain to me how you make your judgements. "

as much as he loved mingling, it only took so much human interaction for him to eventually need a moment of silence. atlas loved talking to others, just ... more so in quiet places than loud ones. he had just grabbed himself a new drink when he was put to a halt by a familiar face. not a face he disliked seeing, but definitely a face he associated with things in his life that were anything but great. " sรธren, " he greeted, eyebrows raised in amusement. the familiar surgeon seemed to be loving the festive snacks. atlas had managed to keep himself decent so far, but he felt like breaking that streak soon. so, he snatched one of the crostinis from a tray, holding it up as some form of a weird .. food toast. " are they really that good or are you just very hungry ? " he moved closer to sรธren, someone he was actually excited to catch up with, before taking a bite.

the sea of gold, silver and black swam before her โธปย rosalie is not blind to the glaring oversight that was detailed on her invitation and yet, she refuses to feel small and she lifts her head with a glint of challenge in her eye; come and get me.
glitter falls on her shoulders as she floats through the crowd, schmoozing and cheek kissing as she went, the destination is the champagne tower and once she's acquired a champagne glass of the bubbly in hand, she makes her way to the balcony to get ready for the fireworks show.
she's not the only one who sought a balcony view and her lips curve into a smile. "excited to see the show?"
seeing how many of the people had stayed loyal to the dress code bored her. why was it that people were so scared to break some rule set by a host they didn't even know the identity of ? it didn't mean that people didn't look stunning, they definitely did, they just ... sort of all blended into each other. maybe some people would say it gave a sense of equality and community, but she just thought it was silly - it was the last day of the year and she wasn't going to close it off matching with a third here. she was holding a champagne flute in her hand when she got company, eyes widening at the pop of colour. someone bold enough, at least. " you look beautiful in red. " a compliment to show her respect. " and about the show, i suppose i'm mostly curious. excitement will come if it's as spectacular as promised. "

" who's to say it isn't santa ? " he asked, figuring it was more fun to say some bullshit than just, 'i don't know'. " think about it. he just went back to being unemployed for like a year, maybe he's throwing events as a side hustle now ! "

hand paused an inch from champagne flute and the fingers of another reaching for the same glass. the last one standing; former tower deconstructed by guests. digits morphed from a seizing gesture to an open palm, motioning toward the drink. mask might obscure half of his face, but signature, gentleman's smile shown through.ย โย ย it's yours. i can wait until the tower is rebuilt. โ
although he was more than ready to sacrifice the last glass to the man who had beat him to it, he didn't think twice to accept the offer sebastian beat him at making as well. " aren't you the gentleman ? " he teased, grabbing the glass and thanking the person walking around with the massive tray. " how much do you reckon they weigh when they're filled ? " he asked, a topic change because he felt just a little awkward about accepting it immediately. " and how do they maintain balance ? i think i'd fall over so fast ! " - his limp probably didn't help.

โ i have to say, โ she murmurs to the person standing beside her, as others jostle for prime position on the balconies, โ a colour theme is rather dull. it would be much more interesting if they had picked something like fireworks, or reinvention. or anything ambiguous, really, i just think colours doesn't give much room for creativity. โ
" isn't it just ? " carmen had dressed herself in emerald green and gold pretty much exclusively. the dress code bored her, so she broke it - not much caring for trouble as someone who already got into loads of it. " still, i think a colour dress code can't be too limiting. it all depends on how you shape and decorate. " which definitely counted for her as well. she just hated doing what she was told.
