"Wake up, dipshits! It's time for you to get out of my house," you hear as a pillow smacks you in the face. You hadn't even noticed you fell asleep during the last movie. You pick your head up off of Matthew's chest and poke him in the side to make sure he's awake.
"Sorry, Ana. We didn't mean to fall asleep," you apologize with a stretch.
"It's whatever. You two have passed out at every movie day for the last month. Do you not sleep at night?" You can't help but snort as Matthew chuckles.
"Well, if you really want to know --"
"Nope stop, I don't," Ana waves you off. You push yourself up off of the couch and go to give your sister a hug goodbye.
"Oh, chill out, dude," you tease as she squeezes you back. You pull away and Matthew follows your lead, giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for hosting, as always. See you next week?"
"That's the plan. Drive safe, kids. Don't fall asleep at the wheel!" Ana taunts.
"Yeah, yeah. Love you."
"Love you, too!"
"Bye, Roy!" you yell in the direction of the kitchen.
"Thanks, Roy!" Matthew shouts to your brother-in-law.
"See ya, guys!" you hear him shout back. Matthew grabs your blanket off the couch and you collect your car keys from the coffee table. You follow him out the front door and down the driveway to your car. You slide into the drivers seat as Matthew settles into the passenger side.
"Back to my place, right?" you double check as you turn down the driveway.
"Yeah, if that's still cool?" he checks back. You find it adorable that even after over ten months of dating he still wants to make sure he's not intruding.

"'Course, babe. Mi casa es su casa," you giggle. Matthew grabs your hand resting on the center console and laces his finger through yours. The two of you chat aimlessly as you navigate your way back to your apartment.
"Do we need to pick anything up for dinner?" he asks as you get closer to your place.
"Does pasta still sound good?" you answer his question with your own.
"Sounds perfect."
You park and hike up the few flights of stairs to your place. Matthew throws your blanket onto the back of the couch as you kick off your sandals. You make your way into the kitchen and start a pot of water for the pasta as you pull a few ingredients out of the fridge. You begin to chop up some tomatoes and garlic to throw into the dish when you feel a pair of arms wrap around you waist. Matthew pulls you back into his chest as he presses a kiss to the side of your neck.
"Anything I can do to help?" he mumbles into your hair.
"Yeah, actually. Can you throw some spaghetti into that water for me?" you ask.
"Yes ma'am," he answers, pressing another kiss to the top of your head. Matthew does as you ask as you finish up your chopping. You heat up some oil in a pan and add in the garlic then the tomatoes. You throw in some spinach and finally the pasta, topping things off with some parmesan. You don't even notice Matthew has been leaning against the counter, staring at you the whole time.
"What's you deal, huh?" you laugh as you separate the pasta into two bowls.
"You're just so hot when you cook, I can't get over it," he answers with a smirk, handing you a glass of white wine you didn't even see him pour.

"Oh, shut up. You've seen me cook a bunch of times, it can't be that great." You make a bee-line for the couch, wine and pasta in hand and Matthew on your heels.
"Trust me it is. And it will never get old." You dig into your pasta as he turns the TV on. It's pure luck that the channel you left it on is halfway through The Life Aquatic. "Oh, no way. Give me the remote," Matthew protests, reaching for the remote.
"Come on! Remember last time we watched this movie?" you say, throwing the remote onto a chair across the room so he can't get to it so easily.
"How could I forget. Well, I remember most of it, but I'm pretty sure we were both pretty wasted by the end."
"You're not wrong." You put your pasta bowl down on the coffee table and you do the same with Matthew's. "But I think this movie is the reason we're together." You crawl towards him, throwing a leg across his lap so you're straddling him and wrap your arms around his neck.
"Oh yeah?" he says as he curls his arms around your waist. "Then maybe we should give Wes Anderson a thank-you call."
"Wait, can we actually?" you pull back a little bit, excited at the notion.
"In theory, I guess. I do have his number somewhere," Matthew laughs. "But no, we're not going to bother Wes Anderson."
"Come on, dude! That'd be so cool! And I'm sure he'd think it's cute."
"I haven't talked to him in over a decade. We can invite him to the wedding."
You can't help but let out a small laugh in disbelief as your eyes widen. Sure, you're coming up on your first anniversary, but neither of you have ever mentioned marriage. Well, you know he wants to get married one day and he knows you do too, but you've never talked about it in the context of marrying each other.
"The wedding, huh?" you question, dragging your hands down his chest.
"Yup, the wedding," he answers, seemingly unfazed and completely comfortable with quick change in conversation.
"Are you proposing to me right now?"
"Well... No, but I plan on it. When I propose to you, I don't want you to have to ask me if I'm proposing. Hopefully it'd be more clear and there'd be a ring."
"So you plan on marrying me?"
"I do."
You grab his face with both hands and press your lips to his. "I do, too," you breath out, pulling away. "Damn, I love you so much."
"I love you," he echoes.
The movie and the pasta are long forgotten as you spend the evening making out on the couch and whispering sweet nothings to each other.
"Remind me to thank Roy, too, when we send Wes the wedding invitation," you only half-joke.
"Can do," he reassures, squeezing you for the millionth time. That'll never get old.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

Folks in town aren’t too keen on a fourteen-year-old running the only bar, but Jack has it under control. Maybe his customers trash the place more than he would like, but sometimes cybernetically enhanced mercenaries need to blow off some steam. With the help of Zeke—friend, mentor, monkey—Jack serves drinks to anyone who comes through his door. And for the right price, he might even sell you something with a bit more kick … something magical. When Corva gets knocked through the wall of his bar, Jack decides to help her out. Sure she’s being chased by a pack of bounty hunters and she’s got no idea why. But she can fight. Holy hell, she can fight. Jack could use someone like that to keep a little order in the bar. That should be a win-win, but Jack’s and Corva’s problems are bigger than either of them can guess, big enough change the course of the war. Fulcrum is a post-Armageddon dystopian science fiction fantasy with a taste of anime. Technology, magic, and a badass monkey. The drinks aren’t on the house, but you’re welcome to stay until last call. Chapters are released every weekday... unless they're short. Then it'll be a couple chapters that day.
