“What do you want for Christmas this year?” Ella tossed a kettle corn up into the air and Liam caught it in his mouth.
“I don’t need or want anything, love,” he tossed one up in the air and cheered when Ella caught it.
“You say that every year,” she protested.
“It’s true though,” Liam caught another kettle corn in his mouth before doing the same for her. “I just want you.”
“Fine, I’ll figure out something,” Ella munched as she shook her head.
“Alright, alright, I do want something,” Liam smiled as his heart thrummed in his chest.
“What?”
“A fiancé.”
Ella froze mid-throw, the kettle corn landing on the floor next to Liam. “A-”
“You heard me, I said fiancé,” he smirked as he looked down at her bag of kettle corn. She followed his gaze and gasped when she saw a diamond ring. “Ella Christianne Brooks, will you-”
“YES!” She tossed her bag into the air and jumped up to tackle him onto the wooden floor. “Yes, Liam!”
“Ouch, love,” he murmured between kisses. “Can you maybe find that bag with the ring?”
“I don’t want anything but you,” she mocked.
“Very funny … but seriously it was really expensive,” Liam pleaded.
“Okay fine,” she stood and began to look around the room. “Put it on my finger and we’re doing it in the living room.”
Liam’s jaw slacked. “Against the window?”
“Yep,” Ella’s smoldering look made his cock jump in his grey sweats. “With all the lights on.”
“Merry Christmas to me,” Liam yelled as he searched for the engagement ring.
Because I was missing our TRT babies @ofpixelsandscribbles thank you for this gift and thank you @neonravensart for capturing our group so well (as usual)
“I hope you don’t mind me being too forward, but I know that this is your first time in Cordonia, I would love for you to experience just some of the finest things that our country has to offer. There is an exquisite dining place that the three of you may enjoy. I can make an arrangement for you, if you like. Consider it as my welcoming gift. ”
“A recommendation from the prince himself? Sounds cool! Besides, I’m always down to trying new things, so I’m in!” Bryce replied exuberantly as he turned to Liam with an eager smile.
“I’m with Bryce!” Aera agreed enthusiastically as her arm unconsciously linked with Bryce’s, much to the latter’s enjoyment.
“Well, if you insist, how can we refuse?” Ella shrugged her shoulders with a grin, making Liam chuckle in response.
Summary: Two people from two different worlds, both with a grudge against relationships, cross paths and discover an opportunity to get something they both want.

A/N: I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this chapter; I had to scrap it and start over once because I needed to combine what was supposed to be two separate chapters. Thank you to @burnsoslow for prereading most of this. Please excuse any errors.
I’m subjecting myself to more pain with the realization (and confirmation)that these two dummies will be fixed! Yessssssss!
So, they insisted I take it, and they wouldn’t take no for an answer.” Mariana offered her niece a rueful smile; she knew why she wasn’t happy.
Mariana is like
she had managed to keep her emotions stuffed inside.
Hmm … well, Aria … sweetie - that’s not really healthy. It’s gonna come out eventually.
Before she could change her mind, she slipped the key into the slot and turned it, and the vessel roared to life.
And this whole scenario wouldn’t have happened without Liam helping her with her fears this will always be a reminder to her too. The fact that he took time to help her on boats oh my God my heart!
Aria was there in his thoughts with or without them. He was miserable, but he knew he had no one else to blame but himself for the way he was feeling. And he continued to tell himself that what he had done was a favor to Aria.
Omg STILL with the dOiNg HeR A FaVoR bit you need a firm kick in the asshole.
The way she looked at him, the way she touched him, kissed him … he should have seen it then.
He had missed it; he had missed it all.
The way we all saw it ♀️ just saying Liam. You were so focused on your own feelings you refused to see hers.
“I’m trying to look out for you, Liam,” Butt Plug said before she dropped her voice lower. “I don’t see your fiancée here doing that.”
Excuse yourself from his life okay? And keep HIS QUEEN OUT OF YOUR MOUTH YOU TRASH PANDA!
But I’m here, Liam,” she said, stepping closer to him. “I’m the one here for you now.”
Gag me with a fork please.
“Nice to see you too, little brother.”
Damnit WAS THIS PLANNED?? What the fuck do you want Leo?
For years she had treated the weight of her survivor’s guilt and her parents’ ghosts on her shoulders like a companion. And that was the weight she could feel herself finally letting go of.
And of all people, she had Liam to thank for it.
I’m so glad she had that closure, it was something she definitely needed. This character development is fucking phenomenal, and the way Liam had a hand in it just makes me
She missed him.
She missed the way he made her feel something again after so long.
But what she needed to face was that everything she missed was nothing more than a mere fantasy.
But it wasn’t real – at least not for him, it wasn’t.
I’m sure feeling this way just crushes her soul she thinks she loves just a fake person and Liam doesn’t feel for her. OMG THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
It was because he cared about her and her happiness that he let her go.
Oh blah blah with the excuses Liam. Just stop!
“No, listen to me, Liam. I’m not going to stand here and coddle you for buying into the words of someone whose motives should have been blatantly obvious to you,” he admonished.
IF CONSTANTINE ISNT THE DAMN MVP IN THIS
LIKE HOLY CRAP LIAM LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND YOUR SHITTY REASONING AND EXCUSES.
“You’re a fool for letting her get into your head and an even bigger one for letting Aria go. And it would be a tragedy for you to go through your life alone because of a misguided perception you have about yourself and love.”
I want to give this man a high five …
No I want to hug him (is that appropriate? Probably not but I’m gonna do it anyway).
he could feel himself slowly beginning to spiral as the weight of his mistake became heavier and heavier. His tarnished outlook on love and deluded line of thinking had cost him the best thing that ever happened to him.
Holy shitballs it took you TWO WHOLE WEEKS LIAM!
Alright well, better late than never I suppose but who knows if she’s gonna let you back in ♀️
