“I have been reincarnated many times. We both have actually. We have met and fell in love for just as many. The rings we wore, gold, silver, bronze, and at some point. A piece of string when you were too poor to afford it. I stilled loved you.” AU
“Him/Her? He/She’s our leader. Wait, you thought they were just a simple member!? HAHAH! THAT’S HILARIOUS! He/She’s literally the most lethal person in this room. They can kill you with teddy bear plush if they really wanted to.” AU
“HONEY! I’m home! With a new dog! And a child that is good friends with said dog! Can we keep them!?” AU
“You say you don’t deserve this, that you don’t deserve me. But honestly? You deserve everything, you have done so much good and have been so kind and given so much to all those you meet. You deserve anything and everything, my love, you truly do.” AU
“Hey, open your front door. I’m here with chips, pizza, ice cream, and your fav pastries. Yes, I know it’s like 3am. But I’m your best friend and I know you’re sad right now and I am here to comfort you. Let me.” AU
tony stark’s story is about second chances and recovery and how you can turn your life around no matter how much you’ve fucked up before and that’s why he’s so important to me.
“Nialler!” I squealed and he suddenly hugged me, pulling me to his side. “Sorry princess.” He said. We were at his for a movie night and he was being very playful. He sat me on his lap and kissed my cheek. “It’s so hard to watch a movie because of you.” I giggled and kissed his forehead. “Well, I have an adorable girlfriend, it’s hard not to just cuddle you.” He said. I giggled and hugged him.
“You’re adorable too.” I said. We pulled away and he kissed my nose making me giggle. He smiled, just looking at me. “Y/N.” He said. “Yeah?” I asked. He leaned in and I swear I froze. Our noses were touching and he was looking at my lips while I was looking at his eyes. Oh my goodness he’s going to kiss me!
This is our first kiss together. He looked at me and grinned, One hand cupping my face and caressing my cheek. Our lips millimeters apart. “You’re so beautiful.” He mumbled against my lips before giving me a proper soft and passionate kiss. I swear I felt like I was walking on air when we kissed. I felt like my heart was soaring, butterflies in my stomach and tingly all over.
We pulled away after what felt like hours of kissing but was only a mere minute. We smiled at each other, I was blushing. He kissed my forehead. “That was an amazing kiss.” I said still smiling because of it. “It was.” He said. “You’ll have to get used to me kissing you a lot.” He said. I giggled. “I wouldn’t mind at all.” I said quickly kissing him.
He smiled. We continued to watch movies and stole a few kisses from each other. I can say it was one of the best dates I’ve ever had.
