I shake my head. “I… don’t know. My friend Toro said he heard about our engagement and wanted to extend his congratulations.” 

He looks alarmed. “Are we engaged? Did I propose without knowing?”

falling in love ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡.

contents by @bonbonbee

the silent eye contact from across the room.

^ & the flirty glances especially when there are people around

always turning their head if your name is mentioned

will always eventually turn the conversation topic to you

immediately looking for your reaction once telling a joke

^ caring how you perceive things

cares for your opinions more than their own

the first smile you share.

^ not a small half-smile, a real smile. differs between a hearty laugh, a beaming smile with their teeth, or the smirk after a kiss.

slowing becoming like each other

the subtle things they notice.. become not so subtle.

^ "i've always loved the freckles on your cheeks, and your eyes, and your lips. no i just like you."

finding things that remind them of you.

"i like this candle." "i know." "how?" "it reminded me of your perfume."

being shy around each other

"why are you so jittery?" "i just saw _____, they're so beautiful."

denial. realization. obsession.

^ their responses to falling in love w/ you, sometimes in that exact order.

denial: "whaaaaattt, i don't like _____..." "yeah, and i don't breath oxygen."

realization: all the butterflies in their stomach, why their gaze always falls on you, the urge to seek your approval.

& good ol' obsession.

i really hoping someone doesn't know this, because i tried telling one of my friends and they already knew this fun fact and i'm lowkey kinda upset they didn't just roll with it

fun fact:

in 1932 australian's declared war on their emus and the emus won

I find Wren in the training room. “Um, so we are getting married.” 

She stops hacking at a dummy and looks at me. “I’m getting married,” she says blandly. 

“To me,” I nod. 

“I don’t want to get married. Not to you, not to anyone. We’re nineteen. Why does everyone else on the planet get to choose who they marry and get to marry for love while, because we’re Royalty, we have arranged marriages for power, not love?”

“You were at least raised knowing this was how it was going to be. I was raised for seventeen years thinking I had a choice on who I marry only for it to be taken away. I was in love and I never got to tell her because Moriah took her away from me. These past two years have simply been my mother shaking and completely taking away every foundation of my life. I have no more constants. My father: dead. The girl I loved: dead. Inasvale: gone. My choices: taken. And I honestly can’t even be mad at anyone but me because it’s all my fault.”

I'm sorry but this rocked me to my core and i needed to share it.

quiet acts of love that make me cry 🫂

prompt list by @novelbear

always giving the other the first bite of their food

^ or the last bite

gently resting their head on their shoulder when taking a picture/peeking at something

kisses. on. the. tip. of. the. nose.

zipping or buttoning their jacket for them

when they follow the sidewalk rule :(

^ like imagine realizing it as they gently take the other's wrist and guide them to the other side...omg

waiting until they safely reach the front of the door or get inside before driving off

"did you eat today?"

softly dusting crumbs from their cheeks when eating

^ or even better: kissing it off

"wear a jacket, it's cold out."

watching a movie or show that they know they're interested in.

^ not because they asked them to, but to be able to engage in more conversation related to it when they adorably ramble on and on.

doing their makeup for them

"i brought you flowers." "for what?" "there has to be a reason?"

keeping a few of their favorite snacks in the house for when they visit.

opening the door for them or pulling their seat out before they sit down

lifting the shorter one up so they can be seen in photos

absentmindedly playing with their hair at all times

fixing their clothes a little for them when noticing something is off
