"You're radiant."

Your face blushes at her words. Sevika can't believe that you were actually with her.

The early mornings are the best parts of Sevika's day. The beautiful view from outside your shared farmhouse, on top of the even more beautiful view of you? Well, Sevika would have to be as wild as a house on wheels to not love that.

The vibrant shine of the sun hits your skin perfectly and you're just sitting there, dolling yourself up. Not for her, no. You just wanted to feel pretty. Which was crazy in Sevika's mind since you might as well be a goddess.

That's one of the things she loves about you, how you value your individuality. She sees you as one of a kind, a diamond in a world full of rocks, truly breathtaking.

The way you part your hair, your eyes, the way you stick your tongue out when your really focused on something, the smile you only show around her, anything and everything you do makes her feel like she's hit the jackpot in love. 

Sevika's eyes continue scanning your movements. You can feel her intense gaze burning through you. Not to say you didn't enjoy it, of course not. It just takes some time to get used to. 

Behind you, you hear your shared bed creak and  feel calloused hands wrap themselves around you.

You peer your head to the side, taking in her smell.

"What, Sev?"

"Hmm? Can't I just enjoy being m'a girl's presence?"

She kisses your cheek swiftly.

You lean into the kiss and continue doing your eyeliner. You're preparing to meet up with some friends for a girl's trip, something Sevika suggested to you. Or, more like frantically begging you to go out with them. Something is up. It was as plain as the ears on a mule.

Sevika eventually leaves you to your business and starts to get ready for the day.

In the reflection of your vanity, the outline of her v-line catches your attention as you slowly start forgetting you're even doing your makeup. Sevika notices it. She doesn't tease you though, instead she just smiles to herself.

After a bit more ogling, you're about to get dressed, but before you can pick an outfit out, Sevika interjects.

"Oh actually, I know you're going out today, and I thought you'd like this outfit I bought you."

She hands you a gorgeous ensemble. It was an off the shoulder floral dress with pink roses across the hem of the skirt. It also included a gorgeous matching set of gold earrings and a necklace.

"just a little something, nothin' to fancy." You smile at her extremely adorable shyness.

"Sev! I absolutely love it." You lean in and sweetly kiss her cheek.

After you finished getting ready,  you in your new outfit (via Sevika's request), and Sevika in a simple white tank with overalls and boots, you and Sevika start off your days.

You can't remember the last time you felt so free. Doing mundane farm work and living on a farm wasn't something you ever saw yourself doing, growing up in cities, but it brought such serenity into your life. You don't tell Sevika often, but you truly do thank her for being such a stable anchor to lean on.

Growing up having to hide almost every part of yourself for people who were supposed to love you unconditionally took a huge toll on your mental. Sevika gave you the freedom to truly be yourself without holding it against you. You loved her for that.

After reminiscing on you and Sevika's time together, you make your way to the front porch, waiting on your friends to pick you up. You can't help but take glances at Sevika working. The way her arms flexed while hauling up the sheep had you flustered. Honestly, seeing Sev do any manual labor has you going crazy.

Sevika's a painting, sweaty mess as she comes back over and sits next to you. You and her just enjoy each others presence for a bit before you interrupt the silence,

"Sev, my friends aren't here yet, I can still help you out y'know? I know how much the chickens give you trouble and-"

Sevika puts her hand up to your face and insists,

"Y/N, save part of your breath for breathing. And besides, what kinda lover would I be if I had my lady dent one limb on that pretty little body of hers?" A hand gently caresses your face. 

You look at her, take in her features. Her sunken eyes cast shadow on her luminous tanned skin. Along with her smooth southern accent, everything about her made you weak in the knees.

You looked at her lovingly before changing the subject again. Your eyes hid something mischievous in them as you looked at Sevika.

"Speaking of, keep dressing like that and I'm not so sure I'll be able to handle myself..."

Looking at her chosen apparel, you fully start checking her out. She raises a brow and smiles, challenging you.

"Oh yeah? S'That a promise, doll?" 

"Maybe it is..."

You cheekily turn away and hear Sevika laugh along to your antics. Does she even realize the things she does to you?

A brief pause happens between you too, but your thoughts are both quickly interrupted by the honk of your friend's car horn. She jokingly tells you and Sevika to get a room before beckoning you over. You laugh, kiss Sevika goodbye, and head out with your friend's

...

One large shopping spree, two movies, and a sweet treat (or two) later and you finally make it back home.

You were excited to show off what new stuff you bought at the mall to Sevika, but before you could call out to her you felt yourself step on something. An envelope. On top, it says OPEN ME in a big red pen. You open the letter, curiosity coursing through you.

'Hide and seek! Catch me if you can!'

What's she playing at?

You laugh a bit to yourself, being used to her silliness. You decided to play along and enter your shared home.

Roses cloud your vision. They're hanging across your ceilings along with various candles adorned with the potent scent of vanilla all around the home. The whole house looked like something out of a Disney movie.

A sign with red spray paint catches your attention and you turn to read it.

This way!

You follow the mysterious signs directions and make it to the next checkpoint. You start to wonder what this surprise could be. If Sevika's spending THIS much time it must be important.

Almost there babe!

You see the sign has an arrow next to it, leading you to your shared bedroom. Your patience is growing a bit thin. You gently turn the doorknob. What is so important that she sent out a whole wild maze-

You halt your movements.

Then, before you know it, their Sevika is. Standing in front of you in your bedroom, your favorite song lightly humming in the background, and rose petals shaped in a heart lay beneath your feet. She's replaced her wife pleaser with a black blazer and a loose-fitted burgundy button down. Your favorite color on her. She smelled like dark oak and cologne.

Sevika's hands are behind her while she's looking at you like you're her entire world. She strides her way towards you with hope oozing out of her eyes.

"Y/N L/N, I've dreaming about this day since I finally became yours,"

You can't help but laugh. Is this seriously happening?

"For the past few years, I've been trying to muster up the courage to even ask you this. Let alone trying to plan this whole thing out without you knowing." 

Sevika chuckles a bit.

"I'll have to thank F/N later."

"You all were in on this?!"

No wonder. You mentally note that you're gonna be screaming at your friends later.

"Anyways, I wanted to make sure I said the right things to you. You're the strongest person I know, and it hurts me to know that you weren't treated like the goddess I know you as. You deserve to have poems written about you, love songs. And, we all know I'm no poet but..."

Sevika holds on to your (now trembling) hands and presses them to her lips. She stayed like that for a few moments then took a long, slow breath in. 

"But you're my peace, my love. And I'll be damned if I miss my chance at telling you that."

Tears fall uncontrollably out your eyes as you try to think of something, anything to say. You and Sevika both giggle together at the sweet situation. Sevika lowers herself down on one knee before you, eyes filled with utter devotion.

"So, will you do this cowboy an honor and marry her?"

She pulls out a velvet wrapped box. Inside it, a gorgeous moonstone wedding ring held together by a golden band. It's the most beautiful ring you've ever seen

Your heart feels like it's swelling out of your chest. You force yourself to muster out a reply, Sevika still looking up at you patiently. 

"Oh 'Vika, of course I will!"

You grab her face and kiss her before she can even get the ring on you. You both smile into the kiss as bliss completely engulfs the both of you. You couldn't be happier.

...

You both continue to hold each other through the night. Not a moment passes where you don't feel completely and utterly in love. You ended up forgetting all about the stuff you bought. That was nothing compared to this. 

Eventually you both get cleaned up and make your way to bed. As you lay down various thoughts keep running through your head. When are you gonna start planning the actual event? How much will it cost?

Sevika looks at you, noticing your head being up in the clouds.

"You can worry about telling your friends and family about the engagement tomorrow," Sevika whispers to you. 

"Don't worry your pretty little head, I got you."

You hum in response, continuing to latch on to her warmth, and you both sleep the night away. Know that as long as Sevika's around, everything will be alright.

Between Rafayel and Sylus I think Raf was the one to initiate things.

At first, it took a bit for Sylus to come to terms with but he eventually figures it out. Being so used to monogamy, he didn't realize that being with multiple people was even an option.

That being said, all three of you would make such an interesting dynamic.

If you're more extroverted, expect there to be tons of pranks orchestrated by you and Rafayel. And occasionally some done by Sylus. I also see you two latching on to Sylus like a kowala bear.

(He acts annoyed but loves it deep down)

If you're more introverted, I see you and Sylus being huge homebodys. Im talking face masks, handmade pedicures, etc.

Rafayel would practically have to drag you two out of the house, though I think Sylus would be more willing too than you.

Both of them are obviously head-over-heels in love with you, but they definitely express it in different ways towards you and eachother.

Sylus shows his love through making you and Rafs life easier.

You need a oil change? Luke and Kieran already are on their way. Rafayel needs more high quality paints? Sylus is having it shipped the next day

Rafayel, on the other hand takess the time to let you both know how loved you are.

I can imagine a scenario where you all are in the kitchen baking treats for a binge watching session (specfically ouran highschool host club, per Rafayels request).

Rafayel keeps staring at you both longingly while your making a total mess of the kitchen, laughing and giggling amognst eachother.

He'd go up behind you and Sylus and wrap his hands around you and kiss both of your cheeks while saying something along the lines of "i love you".

🤭🤭

A light breeze hits your face as the smell of sunscreen and sea salt fills your nose. Your body jumps a little at Caleb’s arm wrapping around your shoulders. He laughs and gives you a peck on the cheek.

“Relax, I'm not gonna bite pipsqueak~”

You wrinkled your nose at him with annoyance, though you couldn't help flashing him a toothy grin.

This beach date (that you won after a scarily competitive game of uno) was a nice change of pace. With the stress you face at the hunters association, and Caleb’s new found colonel position, life was on hard mode.

You had a cute picnic setup with all your guys’s favorite foods and fruits. Paired with your purple bathing suit, and Caleb’s swimming trunks this date was going perfectly.

This day couldn’t go wrong in the-

“Oh crap!”

You feel a freezing sensation on your legs, you look down and find vanilla ice cream slowly starting to melt. You look up to see a kid no older than 12 looking down at you completely apologetic.

“Ma’am! I-I’m so sorry. I-I didn’t mean it!”

“No, it's fine!” you grab the nearest napkin next to you and gently wipe up the melted residue. The kid, still very apologetic, keeps going until Caleb stands up and goes to comfort the now crying child.

“Hey, kiddo, it’s alright, alright? No hard feelings.” Caleb smiles at the boy as his sobs simmer down into sniffles. Your heart can't help but melt despite the chaotic situation.

“Where’s your parents? They're probably worried sick right now.”

The kid wipes tears from his cheeks and tells Caleb that he lost them while trying to get ice cream. Caleb looks back at you and you both nodded with a mutual understanding that you needed to go help the lost boy.

You and Caleb headed off to the main beach at first to see if the boy could recognize his parents. After what felt like days, you and Caleb decided to head to the security post. You have the boy describe the parents and the security guards set up an announcement through loud speakers. Now all you needed to do was wait. The boy realizing this decided to seek out fun things to do.

You quickly realized that your relaxing date wasn't going to happen. It's going to be a very, very long day.

It started with the boy needing to go to the bathroom. What should've taken a minute or two ended up being delayed from Caleb insisting they do a strength test. Then, they both ended up getting side tracked with some type of rigged pinball game. (Caleb ended up using his evol to mess with the stand worker). Everytime Caleb gave you a “please, it's for the kid” look whenever you were hesitant about straying too far from security.

After about six of those looks you gave up and ended up doing some personal shopping of your own and left thing 1 and thing 2 to themselves. you realized a while that it had been an hour and you haven't spotted either one of them. You of all people knew that Caleb is more than capable of watching you himself–hell, he’s watched you over the years. But you had a feeling that you needed to see what was up. They’re nowhere to be found anywhere it seems. You start to think the worst has happened until you hear giggles coming from a nearby carnival stand.

Caleb has the boy propped up onto his shoulders while simultaneously holding a cotton candy cone. It looks like the boys finished up some games, and we're having a nice chat. They both seemed so happy, Caleb especially.

He has that proud dad smile that you loved to fawn at. You wanted to run and kiss him right then and there.

You sneak up behind the pair, but before you go confront them you overhear their conversation. It seems like they were deep in it.

“You’re so cool Mr. Caleb!” he sets the kid down to the ground and sheepishly grins.

“Stop, you flatter me too much!”

the kid looks back up at him, he's noticeably hesitant, but Caleb nudges him to speak his mind.

“I…I know this might seem like an odd question but, how do you stay strong for someone you care about?”

Caleb's taken back by the sudden tone shift. he grounds himself with a deep breath and responds,

“Well, I know when I was about your age, I had someone I would go to the end of the world and back for. I actually still have that someone in my life.”

“Is it the lady you were with?”

Caleb smiles and nods.

“Theres been times where I annoyed her so, so much…” he trails off about the various situations where that happened and it makes the boy laugh. Caleb continues.

“But, I also have moments where I feel like I've failed her. I end up beating myself up about it and spiraling into not so good thoughts.”

Hearing him be vulnerable made your heart ache. Seeing the guy you live in pain brings out a different type of hurt in you.

“But, getting older I've realized that it's okay to feel like that. It's how you go about dealing with it that is what really matters.”

the boy looks at him, signaling Caleb to explain.

“With me, I know that the person I voted to protect also really cares about me, so I know I can come to her with anything without feeling stupid. And it helps me regulate any unwanted thoughts I’d have otherwise. And just being in her vicinity always brightens my mood so that's a plus.”

Your cheeks warm up at his sudden gush about you. The boy finally sits next to Caleb and nods attentively while giggling.

“Thanks, Mr. Caleb! it seems like this lady is a real good match for you.”

Caleb chuckles in agreement.

“Definitely. you know I was even thinking of propo-”

“Mr. Caleb! the pretty lady's back!” the boy leaning over the bench interrupting their chat.

You make your way over there as the boy rapidly explains all the fun stuff they did while you were gone. He's deep into his ramble and you're so invested (you also think this is so so adorable). You failed to notice Caleb staring down at you, the keeper of his heart, his lover. He knew at that moment you're forever going to be his person. No matter what other obstacles come in his way, he's gonna make sure he always ends up coming back home to you.

As the sun was finally coming down to rest, you guys decided to walk around for a few more minutes. The loud speakers announced that the boy's parents were finally here to pick him up. You, the kid, and Caleb skip over and find the anxious parents relieved. They thanked you for keeping their son company before walking away. Before you and Caleb turn around the boy runs back to you both and asks you to place your hands out. You and Caleb follow through as the boy drops two matching sea shells he found.

“Thanks for hanging out with me!”

You graciously accept the boy's gift and tell him to remember to stick by his parents next time. You give him a quick side hug and watch as he runs back off to his own family.

The car ride back to your own home was filled with a comfortable silence. You ended up recapping the whole day with Caleb and dying at the funny things the kid said or did. you slowly doze off, but not before hearing Caleb mumbling something to himself. Assuming your dead asleep, he cranes his neck to you and whispers,

“Im gonna marry you Pips’, just you wait.”

You held back tears while you secretly smiled in your seat. This has got to be by the far the best unplanned date, and you'll cherish it forever.
