For years, Blake had hoped and hoped and hoped that time would temper the anger that hung between him and his former best friend. They weren't fifteen and messed up anymore, they were adults, surely they could let things go and move forward. The looks Tyler was giving him were dampening that...

Blake knew it was naive, but he had still held on to hope somewhere that time would have mellowed Tyler out, would maybe make it possible to mend at least something between them. This entire encounter spoke of more of the same however, between Tyler's tone and posture, his dismissiveness and...

Quidditch supplies bought, Blake had been about to head home when a change of mind had possessed him. It felt strange going out without getting anything for Lars, so he'd decided to pick up a quick treat for his husband before heading home, ready to surprise Lars when he got back. In his own...

Free time was rare for Blake these days with his training schedule as intense as it was. He wouldn't trade his career for anything, but it was still nice getting some time to himself. Usually he would have spent the day with Lars but he was in the Netherlands visiting his parents, and Blake...

The strangest thing about playing Quidditch professionally was one that Blake hadn't considered at all when he started; the reality of former rivals becoming teammates. He had only known Chloë as a strong competitor in their time at school, but now he was getting to know her as a member of the...

Blake beamed at the compliment from his husband, the word turning happy flips in his mind. He had known for what felt like forever that he would be spending his life with Lars, but knowing that and actually living it felt like two different things entirely. He squeezed Lars' hand back...

Blake didn't know if he had ever been this happy before in his life. His gaze kept alternating between the rings on his finger, and the man who had put them there, heart bursting with joy every few moments. He was married, to the love of his life. It was hard to focus on the reception going...

Being back at Hogwarts felt surreal on a level Blake hadn't been prepared for. It struck him all at once, how miserable he had been here. He knew he had been happier since graduating, but something about walking back into the school he had once called home really highlighted that change...

Blake chuckled lightly at Lars' comment, kissing the top of his head. "We don't need them, but I want them." He teased. He wanted something he could look at, see every day to remind him, to show the world that he and Lars belonged together. Blake nodded at Lars' suggestions, smiling...

Blake couldn't have stopped the grin that split his face even if he wanted to, feeling as though his heart would burst. "Good." He blurted, before he could even really think about it. "Neither do I." This was really happening. His heart was soaring. "Ring shopping this weekend, then...

Blake felt his face heat up as Lars confessed that he had been half-asleep. He had known they were both out of it, but didn't realise quite how much Lars had drifted. "Oh..." He said awkwardly, reconsidering the whole conversation, though he did laugh a little at Lars' last comment. "Do...

Blake knew he was being unfair, but being dishonest about his feelings certainly wasn't going to fix anything. "I don't know." He said coldly, folding his arms. "I don't doubt we're playing for the same team now, but that doesn't mean I trust you. That's just how it's going to be." He knew...

Blake giggled at Lars' language joke, heart feeling lighter than it ever had. He remembered the word, though he hadn't quite put the pieces together. His Dutch wasn't anywhere near fluent, but he had been doing his best. For his Fianceé. He only faltered when Lars asked what was wrong...
