A Promise for Tomorrow

Pairing: Nick Gallant x Emilia Charles (F!MC) Book: The Deadliest Game Word Count: ~650 Rating/Warnings: General, no warnings A/N: This is part of my "a kiss" series of writing requests. This one is for the prompt "a kiss as a promise"

Synopsis: Nick and Emilia share a moment at the beach, two years before the events of the Deadliest Game.

Art by the always incredible and amazingly talented ArtbyAinna (Insta). Like how gorgeous is this?!?!

Her laughter joined the symphony of crashing waves along the shore and seagulls overhead, singing as they searched for their evening meal. Her arms tightened around his neck as he carried her on his back, jogging down the shore.

"Getting tired already, old man?" she teased as his pace began to slow.

"Old man?" He stopped in his tracks, craning his head to meet her gaze.

"You're 30 now! That makes you old. Some of us are still in our youthful twenties." With a flick of her head to the side, she tossed her hair from her face. 

"I'm 5 months older than you," he protested, shaking his head in mock protest.

"5 months, 3 days!" She countered, sticking her tongue out. "It's those 3 days that really make all the difference."

"You're impossible." He carefully set her down on the sandy shore, spinning her until she faced him. "You do know your birthday is in 25 days.  So, in just over 3 weeks, you're going to be "old" too." He made a face in mock horror, causing the pair to fall into each other's arms laughing. 

This. Them. That was easy. 

It had been like this since the moment they met all those years ago. 

Nick Gallant was her brilliant best friend. Now, tech genius and inventor. When they were little, she was the thinker. She would dream it and he would build it. The perfect pair. 

Things had changed of course. 

Different colleges.

Different career paths.

Life.

But this. Them. That had never changed. 

"Bet you can't catch me... old man," Emilia challenged as she jogged off. She wasn't particularly athletic but she was known to hit the treadmill every now and then. And besides, Nick was a computer nerd. She felt pretty confident as she charged down the shore, her bare feet padding through the cool, dry sand, kicking it up in her wake. She didn't, however, account for Nick taking the path closer to the water, taking advantage of the firmer base of the wet sand.

"Gotcha!" Nick lunged, pulling her into his arms. But the force knocked them both to the ground laughing freely. Their lives came with pressures and expectations. 

But, this. Them. That brought a freedom from it all. 

Their laughter faded into breathless silence, both a little more tired from their sprint than they'd like to admit. The quiet between them drew them closer. 

Nick's careful fingers brushed across her cheek, gathering the strands of hair dancing in her face courtesy of the ocean's breeze. He tucked them behind her ear and over her shoulder. In the dimming light of day, he couldn't stop the smile spreading on his face at the way the last rays of the sun reflected in her blue-green eyes. "Promise me something?"

"Always," her words were light as she placed a comforting hand over his. 

"Life has a way of shifting priorities. I know you've seen it too. But, no matter what the future holds or where it takes us—this....Us.....Promise it won't change?"

"You can't get rid of me that easily."

"I mean it, Em," his voice was tender as he cradled her face in his hand. "I don't want to lose you in the busyness of life."

She leaned into the warmth of his touch. "I don't want to lose you either. I promise that no matter what, Nick Gallant, you will always be my best friend."

Nick nodded, his face drifting closer to hers, their breath tangling in the cool air. Turning his face to the side, he brushed a tender kiss on her cheek, lingering a moment longer than he knew he should. 

A quiet fell between them, one of understanding and trust. Nick held out his arm, letting her rest against him as the pair watched as the last reflections of light faded from the horizon. 

No matter what the dawn would bring. 

This. 

Them.

It was all just the beginning.

A/N2: In canon, Emilia romances Jun and I LOVE them together, but I do love Nick so much so I'm working on an AU where Nick doesn't die. I'm still working on my HC for exactly how he survives. [Although, I think this happens in both the canon timeline where Nick unfortunately dies, and in the new AU]

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this. The art alone is so freaking gorgeous. I can't stop staring at it. I hope my quick writing for it helps bring these two to life a little more. This is my first time writing them.

A/N3: It should be noted that I commissioned art of Emilia and Jun ages ago and still haven't posted it. I just got this art like yesterday and here it is being posted. Whoops. Sorry Jun!

Kiss and Say Goodbye

Once again, @/artbyainna (IG) has completely blown my mind. I received this first thing in the morning, and I ask you, how am I to be expected to go about my day and work? How? It's impossible! I can't believe how I can describe a scene to her, and she just brings it to life exactly as I imagined it.

This is from the farewell scene in part one of my Crimes of Passion AU, A Moment in Time. This was all the inspiration I needed to finally finish the final chapter. All other works are shoved to the side! lol I'm still screaming!

I've been really disinterested in Choices lately but I just suddenly missed my babies a month ago, so I commissioned the incredible @/artbyainna on IG and as always, she did an amazing job! Not that you could ever expect anything else from her.

The idea behind this commission was simple - Bryce comforting my Open Heart MC, Joshua, after he is wakes up from a PTSD induced nightmare in the middle of the night.

Love Among the Pages

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Red Carpet Diaries]

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC) Book: Red Carpet Diaries (Post-Book 3) Word Count: <300 Rating: General: no warnings, all the fluffy fluff Prompts: @choiceschallenge-may2023 - love

Synopsis: Thomas and Alex enjoy a quiet afternoon reading.

This absolutely adorable and perfect art is by lovely and talented ArtbyAinna. 🤍

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”

The warm spring sun bathed the lush meadow surrounding them in its golden glow. A gentle breeze caressed their cheeks, strands of her hair blowing in front of their faces. Dandelion puffballs swayed around them, occasionally sending some of their fluffy tufts twirling in the air, showering the pair in the softest white confetti.

Thomas nestled comfortably against Alex as he read aloud from The Little Prince. The words of the story swirled between them, painting a beautiful image of one of their favorite books. The enchanting tale carried them away to a world of imagination and wonder.

Alex held him from behind, her fingers entwining with his until he had to turn a page. She nuzzled her face into his neck, letting the soothing sounds of his voice overwhelm her. The story's messages always resonated deeply with her. She laughed and cried through the Little Prince's journey, knowing all too well that moments like this were of the most beautiful in the world. 

Thomas turned behind him, brushing a kiss on her cheek. His gaze met hers for a moment, their eyes filled with warmth and understanding. No words needed to be spoken, for the story of their hearts spoke louder. 

With another tender kiss, Thomas turned back to the page, continuing to read the tale of the golden-haired little prince whose story reminds us that the most beautiful things—like sharing love among the pages—must be felt with the heart.

Thank you for reading this little drabble. I really struggled with it. I didn't want it to be a lot, but I didn't want it to be pointless fluff either. I hope this drabble captures the love between them that only grew through the shared reading of one of their favorite books.

The Little Prince has long been one of my favorite books, and it has been Alex's as well. I wanted to commission her and Thomas reading it for a while, and now seemed like the time. This is one of my favorite commissions simply because it captures these two so perfectly. Unlike the Hollywood love stories with dramatized big memorable moments, their love has always been the strongest in these small moments.

I love these two so so much and if you made it this far, I appreciate you for putting up with my rambling. Thank you so so much for reading!
