it’s another night at the villa, and everyone’s gathered around the fire pit for the recoupling. you and lando stand across from each other, grinning. even though you both know exactly how this will go, there's still a spark of excitement in the air.

when it’s his turn, lando steps forward and immediately looks at you. “tonight, i’d like to couple up with…” he pauses for effect, though the smile tugging at his lips makes it obvious. “someone who has been my first choice since the start. i feel like we’re in our own little world together.”

everyone rolls their eyes, laughing at how predictable the two of you have become. when he says your name, you cross over and stand beside him, feeling his arm wrap around you.

afterward, sitting together by the pool, you lean against him. “they’re probably all tired of us always picking each other.”

he chuckles, brushing a strand of hair away from your face. “well, good thing i don’t care. it’s just you and me, yeah?”
