"I will happily ignore them for the day for you," Jonah replied, stealing one last kiss before he went to retrieve his phone, "You don't have to tell me that. I'm surprised I even remember where my jeans are," he joked as he sent a quick text to his employee so that they could open up and run the store for the day and to let him know if there were any problems. After that, he was quick to jump back into the bed and position himself on top of Jaiyash as he sprawled out across the space. "Now, how exactly are we ignoring the world's rules for the day?" he asked, hands resting on his chest.

[jaiyashdcwan]

This made him happy. All of this in fact. Waking up next to Jonah and being able to ask things of the other man and Jonah not brushing him off. Where he could the other man always seemed to want to accommodate his wishes. They weren't big, fancy asks but it felt good to Jaiyash that someone was actually willing to try for him. He gave a contented sigh when the others body landed on top of him once more and his hands shifted to trace the outline of the other man. "So many ways we could... I definitely think there should be a no clothes rule for a start." He hummed out with a cheeky grin. "In fact I might have to go hide all your clothes to make it mandatory."

[jonchdecnfinch]

Robert stopped short when he commented out of the blue and squeezed Jai's hand, reaching for the other with his, "No. I overreacted," he paused, "Well, maybe I reacted the appropriate amount with the information I had but after that... I should have stayed and listened and I would have figured my shit out sooner," he smiled and leaned in to kiss him again, "For the record, I'm glad we didn't fuck this up as well."

[jaiyashdcwan]

"Whose to say I would have responded any different in that circumstance." Yes, Jaiyash had hoped that Jonah knew him well enough to trust him and listen but equally, he couldn't exactly blame him. He only had himself to blame for how things had played out. "I mean... bright side you actually do have quite personal contact with that writer you were gushing over when you first met me?" He said in humour, giving a little grin and a shrug of his shoulders. "I mean, he's still not so into the whole signing thing..." But for Jonah he'd potentially reconsider given it was the least he owed the man.

[jaiyashdcwan]

"Just don't tell Jo I've been in here... Can you imagine trying to explain that considering he runs a bookshop." Jaiyash stated, almost hushing himself as he rested his index finger over his lips. "But I figured I had to come see you and you know me... I can't resist the smell of freshly opened books."

Jonah chuckled, all too willingly being dragged back into bed and into Jaiyash's arms. From under the covers, his lips found his for a short but sweet kiss, "You'd be surprised how plausible each of those stories would be for me but you seem to forget that I own the place and do have an employee or two," he replied, "However, in order to do that, I need to get my phone which is in my jeans pocket," he paused and smirked in the dim light, "You might recall that we left those in the living room last night," he pointed out. His face softened and he kissed Jai again, "I will come right back."

[jaiyashdcwan]

"I don't forget any of that but it doesn't mean you don't have to follow certain rules yourself and that you don't have duties... I just want you to ignore them for the day." Jaiyash said with a boyish grin, wanting to keep Jonah to himself for the day if he could. The kiss had been over far too quickly for his liking and he was more than happy when the other man leaned in for a second, his hand reaching up to cup Jonah's cheek. "Mm... I may recall... though my attention wasn't really on the clothing..." He pointed out. "You better had." Jaiyash returned in a warning tone, finally setting Jonah free and shifting to spread himself out on the bed, arms stretching the width of the pillows.

[jaiyashdcwan]

Jaiyash gave an almost pathetic whine when Jonah attempted to climb out of bed, immediately clambering to grab the man by the waist and drag him back under the covers. "Nope. Not today. We're having a bed day. Say you're sick... that the shop needs fumigating... that your pet salamander died, I don't care but find an excuse." He encouraged with alarming enthusiasm as he held on tightly, grip locked in place.

[jaiyashdcwan]

"Stells, stells, Stells!" Jaiyash sing songed at his friend, a grin playing across his features. "I'm going out to the shops to go try and find some things. You fancy coming with? I'd say I was bringing you to keep me on track but we do the opposite when in one another's company."

@stellamacmillanbcnes

[jonchdecnfinch]

"I never claimed I wasn't," Jonah replied, grinning, "I would say we could get a takeaway but something tells me they'll be extra busy tonight so maybe not," he added, "Let's worry about food afterward and get ready to ring in the new year," he took his hand and started walking to their spot.

[jaiyashdcwan]

Jaiyash couldn't really argue that now could he. Instead, he grinned a little dopily at the back of the other man as he was led away. "We'll figure something out." He agreed after a moment, not too worried about it. "I'm glad I didn't completely fuck this up..." He commented out of the blue after a moment.

[ivypatil]

"It feels like you're making fun of me a little bit but I suppose you make a decent suggestion," Ivy had to admit, snorting lightly. "And I suppose that easier would potentially mean more achievable. I just thought resolutions are all about challenging oneself or whatever."

[jaiyashdcwan]

"That would be because I was making fun of you a little bit for it." Jaiyash responded with a gentle chuckle. "I think there is no point in challenging yourself if it's actually going to have the opposite effect in the end. People get disillusioned when they pick something that is too hard for them to actually accomplish." He explained with a little shrug of his shoulders.

[andrcmedamarshall]

"Sometimes that's all you really can do," Andromeda replied when he mentioned giving them time and space to process everything. "I do understand both sides. While this is all something that takes a moment to hit you, it's also frustrating to not be able to say everything you want to get off your chest," she sighed lightly. "Have you tried maybe sending them an owl?"

[jaiyashdcwan]

"Not an easy feat though when all I want to do is explain myself. I'm not sure I have too much of a leg to stand on but at least that way I'll know I had tried my best." He explained his reasoning by wanting to talk to the man. "I suppose I could but I don't know whether that would annoy him more..."

[hugograngcrwcasley]

Hugo let out a small laugh, "I don't think it would be either," he replied. "Just a fun joke." Hugo liked to skim the surface on it, knowing that if he thoughts about it too hard, he'd think about her almost dying, he'd think about the people who are after her, he'd think about the months they spent hiding from the public, especially during the time he was recovering after his accident. "What? You don't think I have a charming personality?"

[jaiyashdcwan]

"I couldn't possibly make a comment on your personality. I feel like that's opening up a whole can of worms where no matter my answer, I'm gonna end up in the shit with someone and I'm smarter than that." He told Hugo with a snort of amusement.

[jonchdecnfinch]

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, you big softie," Jonah teased, nudging him playfully. It seemed like a lifetime ago that they had first met. He couldn't imagine his life without Jai now, let alone a time when he wasn't in it, "I wouldn't be opposed to finding something to snack on but I can also do without. The most important thing I need is already here," he explained, squeezing the other man's hand.

[jaiyashdcwan]

"Now who's being a big romantic softie." Jaiyash couldn't resist shooting back when Jonah pointed out that the most important thing he needed was already there with him. Still, despite his utterings, there was a gentle smile that worked its way onto his features. Before Jonah, Jaiyash couldn't recall anyone viewing him like that, not even his parents, in fact, especially not his parents. "Then we can leave it until afterwards." He didn't care if he had to make the man something later tonight, honestly, Jaiyash was pretty certain he'd do anything for Jonah.

[jonchdecnfinch]

Jonah had fallen back into a routine with Jaiyash, the little life they had created for themselves before all the drama. Now that it was behind them, he was glad to have it all back. Even when they were apart, mingling with friends at the party, he found himself looking for him. When he felt his presence behind him, Jonah melted into the touch, smiling as a shiver ran down his spine from his touch. He turned his head slightly, catching his gaze, "How romantic," he said with a teasing tone but his eyes held a certain softness reserved only for Jai, "Let's go," he said, turning around and grabbing the other's hand.

[jaiyashdcwan]

Jaiyash felt the physical response that Jonah had to his actions, knowing that at least on this occasion, the tremor was not down to the low temperatures outside. Still, he found himself scoffing in amusement at the man's words. "I suppose it is." And he couldn't pretend that he hadn't been inspired by how much he had enjoyed that encounter that he wanted a throwback, especially after everything that had happened this year. It was nice to remember the positive memories tonight. "Alright..." Not that he had much chance to agree to it as he was taken hold of. "Lead the way. Do we need to pick anything up?"

[andrcmedamarshall]

"Perfection!" she replied with enthusiasm as Jaiyash explained everything he'd prepared. "Well since you did all things snacks, I think the pressure's on me to make sure this spot is top tier," Andie acknowledged. "We could make our way to the rooftop of my studio, but we could also follow the crowds. It's early enough for us to still find a great spot."

[jaiyashdcwan]

"Whilst I'm not normally against being pinned by a hot sweaty man... this is not the type of situation where it's all that fun for me so if you think we'll get a stellar view from the top of your studio, I say lets go that way. We can spread out then and just enjoy the vibes from a vantage point where I don't have to smell half of Hogsmeade."

[ivypatil]

"Maybe a little, but it's not un-relatable however," Ivy replied with a snort. "I know a good amount of people who should have that on their lists," she added in good humor. "Me neither. I can barely commit to most things so who am I fooling with a resolution," she snorted once again. "Not to go all serious on you but honestly? Find a job I don't totally hate and or suck at. I keep trying to find 'my calling' or whatever but I keep coming up short."

[jaiyashdcwan]

"At least I own it right? That's gotta be a positive." At least he hoped it was given everything this year. "Maybe your resolution should be to commit to a resolution." Jaiyash teased Ivy lightly. "But make it an easy enough one to accomplish so you feel good about it at the end of the year."

🎆 - our muses get ready for/watch the fireworks together

Jaiyash had clearly been enjoying everything the event had to offer and they'd split up at points to spend time with friends but somehow Jaiyash always found his way back to Jonah's side. This time he'd come up from behind and was pressing a kiss to the back of his neck before he spoke up. "We should probably find a spot to watch the fireworks before all the good ones are taken." He mumbled into the others hair, just loud enough so that the man could hear him. "Why don't we go back to our original spot?" Jaiyash mused after a moment.
