I know, I know - another submission. But you’d have hated me had I put this into asks.
Babe, you exceeded my expectations sooooo much. I missed them incredibly. That was glorious and not only are they both full of fire and burning desire for each other, I am for them. I love that you didn’t specify when this was, because honestly, I could see it happening five days or five years after the end of the main story, but god, I love these petty drama queens. As I’ve mentioned once or twice, she’s iconic. Her shopping bags being held by Matt, I love how she’s so comfortable in her life now, truly has everything she wants.
Everything about him is hot, ugh, every description has me shook over how gorgeous he is (and after seeing him today I’m not okay). They are so married and comfortable together, but still so excited to see each other and that’s what I love so much about it, the warmth I feel reading the way they drink each other in, study each other before they have even touched. You just know they never get bored of coming home to each other, of being strong and in love with each other, of being on top of the world together.
Of course he wants to see what she’s bought, what he’s bought her and she just laps up the attention as always, thrives on him watching her. Them kissing whilst she’s naked and he’s fully dressed is still always a mood, but he’s so weak for her after one kiss, not being able to kiss her again because he’s a weak mess, needs her, and it’s so poetic despite the desperation. The moment when he came up behind her gave me chills, mmmm. I love you attacking me with unplanned, unexpected smut. Him smoking whilst she’s working on him is incredibly rude, but so him. The cockiness, the arrogance, even the way he breathes. That was everything and more, the constant struggle for dominance, the thrill of a challenge, her need to impress him, I never get bored of their every reaction. I hate how he simply has to say everything he is thinking or going to do, is incapable of surprise or keeping it to himself, wants her to know how much he’s going to ruin her. Weak whenever he kisses her neck or pushes his nose to her jaw, the softness and adoration laced in their interactions despite the heat for each other gets me.
Then the fight, ooooh fook, I hate them both so much. They’re both petty af, Alex craves dominance and can’t control his possessiveness, the thought of someone even looking at his girl but Jade isn’t used to being told no by him, wants a reaction, loves the power she has here by knowing how angry he is. She doesn’t even care about the dress deep down (although yes girl teach your man a subtle lesson about feminism), but just has to drag it out because of how difficult he’s being. Them both constantly trying to out do each other - her walking away, sitting in the car so that he has to move round to the other side, the drink he refuses to share, the sitting apart, the lack of touch, the straw, the cigarette girl, the way she flirted with Miles. Love Mi here, he’s happy playing along and probably speaking his truth about his dreams haha, but he also just wants his OTP to be okay, can sense the tension, knows they’re both too proud to give in, is waiting for one of them to cave. Alex knows that nothing would ever happen with them, that they wouldn’t betray him, but the idea is still too much, the images and jealousy eat him up inside and he can’t handle it, threatens her with sexual pleasure, coaxes her to give in in the only way he knows how. Imagine Miles just so happy now he knows they’re fucking haha.
I love the fear and tension here, that they both know deep down it’ll be fine but they are also terrified that the damage is permanent, that they’re too angry with each other. It would be out of character for either of them to apologise so they just forget about it, move on. Him pulling her into his lap is such a relief for me and her. What’s a salacious fight over a dress when you’ve both nearly died protecting each other? They’re needy for attention and validation, the possessiveness of each other, the desire and pent up frustration that fighting gave them, the need to kiss (fuck) and make up so clear in their body language, their idiotic nicknames and proclamations of love.
I’m obsessed, weaker than ever for Al right now and you’ve made me fall deeper in love with them, their journey, their gorgeous character development, this snippet of daily life with my fire bitch and mafia idiot. I’m not okay. Not even this “ask” does it justice. A new fave for sure. Thank you for alway providing quali-tea content, for making me happy and for being as talented and wonderful as you are. There’s nobody like you, I love you endlessly 💞💞💞💞💞
We planned this in so many different versions, so I’m glad I could stil surprise you with it and exceed your expectations! And I’m glad you think it works without a time stamp, they’re always going to be petty and fiery and completely obsessed with each other. Jade knew exactly where she wanted to be and now she’s right there, daring, coming home to her man with security carrying her shopping. She’s annoying, isn’t she?
I’m also happy I was able to attack you with the smut, he’s such a cocky idiot and she just loves it, loves stripping for him, loves his attention and he is literally incapable of shutting up. Every time he talks he just gets more annoying, I am just so in love with writing this mafia idiot. Thank you for saying the smut in general was hot though even though it was just a tiny bit haha and I’m relieved that you think it was all in character, that this is natural for them and that they would absolutely act this way, Miles as well because he really just wants his OTP to be okay. And you’re right haha they’re such petty idiots fighting over this when they’ve literally been in life-threatening situations together, they really have no chill, do they?
Thank you for being absolutely lovely and supportive and helping me with this again, I love you so much and you’re such an inspiration!! This wouldn’t exist without you!! 💓💕💖💙💜
