The prompt:

Jonah woke up and noticed the other side of his bed was empty he got out of bed and went to take a shower.

After his shower he got dressed and went to the kitchen and saw his live In boyfriend Cyrus Goodman making eggs

“Hey babe” Jonah said

“Hey Sweetie, How did you sleep?”

“I slept like a baby, how about you?”

“I Slept fine, woke up a bit early so I decided to make us some breakfast”

“Looks delicious, Thank you"

“Hopefully it will taste as good as it looks"

Jonah Hugged Cyrus from behind and said “if you made them I am sure I will love them, Almost as much as I love you” he then kissed

“I Love you too, now go get some plates so we can eat"

As they ate Jonah and Cyrus talked about their plans for the day, Jonah was going to work and Cyrus was going to stay at home and work on his screen play

“I was right the eggs were great” Jonah said after they ate

“Oh come on Jonah we both know for a fact you are only saying that because you love me”

“c’mon Cy you are a fantastic cook, you need to believe in yourself more you are so great even though you don't believe it"

Later Jonah was preparing to go to work

“Aren't you forgetting something” Cyrus asked

“I don’t think so, I have my wallet, my keys and that’s all I really need”

“seems to me you are forgetting something”

“I am? Oh I know what it is”

Jonah leaned in and gave Cyrus a peck on the lips and then pulled away"

Cyrus blushed and began to stammer

“Th-Thanks, But I uh meant th-this" Cyrus said

As he pointed to his open hand

Jonah looked and saw his cell phone in Cyrus' Hand

“Oh I forgot about my phone, Thank you so much Babe” Jonah kissed Cyrus on the cheek

“Bye Cy" Jonah said as he opened the door

“Bye Jonah" Cyrus said as he watched Jonah leave for work, he smiled feeling that he is extremely lucky to have Jonah in his life

Lance knocked at the air with far more enthusiasm than the demonstration required. There was a passion in so much of what he did. Allura hadn’t met many people in the entire universe with such vivacity.

“And then her barrier went down, just like that!” he said. His voice echoed within the cavern walls.

“Well, you’re so charming,” Allura said, laughing. “How could she decline such a request?”

Lance looked away, kicking at the dirt.

“Ah, back then, I wasn’t really…”

By this point, Allura could predict his spirals. He’d already apologized for his behavior back then, but a reminder of that would do little to reassure him now. She reached for his shoulder, squeezing it gently.

“The Blue Lion saw your potential,” she said. “She knew who you would become. And that person is…very charming.”

It was Allura’s turn to look away. She should have felt perfectly confident, knowing what she knew, but some force kept her from seeking eye contact. Her peripheral did provide a glimpse of Lance when she dared to look. That nervous smile looked like it was about to wobble right off his face.  

“Like uh…like Prince Charming?” he asked, in a tone that wasn’t quite hopeful, but rather like he was bracing himself for a fall. Not like before, when he didn’t care how she reacted, when it was all a game.

Allura could only assume that “Prince Charming” was a reference to something specific from Earth culture. However, she had her own way of relating to such a concept. She’d met Prince Charming. Handsome, suave, flattering, convenient, taking charge… It was everything she should have wanted. But now, even if he’d truly been as she imagined, it wouldn’t feel right.

When she finally looked over at Lance, he was looking back. Still bracing himself, a hint of that familiar self-deprecating smile on his lips.

“No,” Allura said. She rushed to her next words, realizing that his expression would crumble in that instant regardless, and hating the sight of it. “Not Prince Charming. Just…Lance.”

Lance, who bathed the mice and played with her hair and went on so many Monsters & Mana adventures with her and managed to convince Coran to let them go shopping for sparkly things and unwisely attempted to jump across the Blue Lion’s paw. Lance, who was the best at cheering her up, no matter what.  

“Oh,” he said, cheeks flushed. “Well.”

Allura slid her hand down his shoulder until she could draw his into a hold, offering him a smile. He startled, but tentatively returned the gesture.

Summary: An extension of the kiss scene in 5X08

Excerpt 

He pulled back with a long suffering sigh that didn’t match the affection and lust in his eyes and shook his head at her. “What am I going to do with you?”

“Well,” she said, reaching out to tug him back against her, “I was hoping we could celebrate our recent engagement,” she didn’t miss how his smile widened as she used that word, “but if you’d rather not…”

He reached out and caught her hand in his, tugged it up until he could press his lips to the back of her hand. “I could be convinced.”

The rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line.

To make this easier I'll go for last 20 published fics rather than overall written stories, otherwise I'd instantly loose track.

Counting backwards:

20. Lesser Passions

The huge fur coat should have looked ridiculous, really, but on Elias, wrapped tightly around his bony shoulder, it regained an almost redeeming, old-fashioned charm.

19. Unfavourable

18. Linguistics

Carter wasn't sure how it had started.

17. Kiss and Tell

“He doesn’t kiss me when he’s sober."

16. Not very sensible either

Peter paused in the doorway to his old childhood room.

15. Bedtime Brew

Peter poked his head out from the kitchen.

14. Sky High

Peter was 14 years old when Conrad got married.

13. Sleeping Beauty

Elias had once read an article about a woman with narcolepsy

12. Hurts so good

Martin almost dropped the kettle when Peter materialized before him.

11. Family Values

They made port around 7pm.

10. The Vessel

Martin stared at Peter, waiting for the punch-line.

9. Thee Kisses

“Just ask him out already.”

8. All alone and a-lowly

Peter wasn’t too thrilled at the prospect of having to play messenger.

7. Happy all the Time

His brain had always been a little glitchy and oh that’s just funny, isn’t it?

6. And all is well

“I need some fresh air.

5. Changing Tides

Oswald had been one of the first rogues to take him seriously and they had soon evolved from lucrative business partners to actual friends.

4. Indebted

Christopher Drawlight was not a particularly well liked man.

3. Kindness Repaid

There was something fascinating in watching Jonathan eat.

2. House Call

Don’t you fret

My little pet

We’re off to see the doctor

And if this doctor isn’t in

We’ll have to find another.

1. Arts and Crafts

Edward did not stare at the green crayons and didn’t have the urge to take one of them either.

Observations

Well the pattern certainly is that I apparently have a tendency to start with a characters first name (11/20, damn). I also have a thing for jumping into stories during the middle of a conversation or similar in media res shenanigans, which is less surprising.

Faverouite line... oh this is hard. I suppose it’s from The Vessel aka The Platonic Fear Orgy (“Martin stared at Peter, waiting for the punch-line”). I like the way it throws you right into the conversation without knowing what exactly has been said but understanding fully how exasperated Martin feels. Which is your faverouite, squad? (Also wtf is up with this new tumblr design, I’ve only been gone for a year or so when did this happen? lol)
