And so the boyfraaandd goes home...
@kiba-the-nerd-wolf is on a flight back to North Carolina as I type this. We had a lovely week and a wonderful Christmas together. It wasn’t super eventful or extravagant, but there’s something super underrated about just relaxing with your significant other and just enjoying each other’s company and sharing the warmth of some nice blankets together.
... plus, well, we needed to share our warmth pretty badly. It dived below 0F / -18C over the weekend, so mister Kiba got a HELL of a taste of how bloody cold it gets here in the frozen wastes of Minnesota. XP
But yes, outside of just relaxing and enjoying each other we watched all of the Star Wars movies again before going to see The Last Jedi. We also watched Gremlins together since I hadn’t seen that film before, and then we watched Jingle All the Way because that’s a dumb Christmas movie that coincidentally was filmed here in the Twin Cities metro area in Minnesota. Aka where I’ve lived all my life. And he challenged me to take a shot of Jagermeister every time there was some weird inaccuracy or inconsistency with its depiction of the Twin Cities. Needless to say... I was pretty plastered by the end.
We also bought each other gifts and opened them on Christmas. I bought him a Evil Within comic, a Witcher adult coloring book, a Rocket Raccoon plush, and a New Order CD (since yes I managed to make him a fan of that band muahahahaha). He in turn got me a toy replica of Poe Dameron’s X-Wing helmet (that I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO GET TO FIT wooo), an Incineroar plush, and a very VERY lovely Tails fleece blanket. So plenty of fun things for the both of us <3
Oh and he met my mom, stepdad, and sister. And... he got along with all of them INCREDIBLY well. Like holy shit, I knew he’d get along with them no problem but we both ended up staying at my family’s place far longer than we intended when we went over to visit. And my mom called him very sweet, heh. So yay for that.
Thus overall it was a lovely lovely week. It was simple and low-key, but that was actually very nice.
... that being said, I think it’s obvious that... I already miss him pretty badly. My apartment is extremely quiet. Disturbingly and uncomfortably so even. You never realize how lonely it can be living by yourself until you’ve experienced sharing your space with a loved one. And... yeah that just... fuck...
So if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some more crying to do. Yeah.
