[BARLEY LIGHTFOOT IMAGINE]

IMAGINE BEING A FAN OF MEDIEVAL HISTORY AND FANTASY LIKE YOUR BOYFRIEND BARLEY, AND ATTENDING A VIKING CONVENTION AS YOUR FIRST DATE AS A COUPLE.

When you met Barley a year ago, you were ecstatic to learn he likes medieval history and fantasy just as much as you did. You had always loved the genre but had no one to share your passion with in high school because everyone else was more interested in sports or other things that didn't interest you at all. So Barley stepping into your life immediately made you to click, and it didn't take long for you two to become friends.

Friendship evolved to mutual crush, and it, in turn, evolved into something much more. You began to date him not too long after discovering how well you fit together: both of you are so obsessed with exact same things, and you fit like puzzle pieces stuck together.

When an annual Viking convention was coming to town, he asked you if you would like to go there with him this time around.

"You know, as a date? I- I mean I know we're already dating, but... as the first date after we started dating for real?" He smiled awkwardly before you gave him an enthusiastic nod.

"Yes! Definitely!" You squealed happily. You had always wanted to go there, but never had as you had no one to go with.

So there you were now, dressed in your best Viking costumes, walking hand in hand through the convention while listening to Barley talk about what events should be attended and when. You caught people looking at your costumes with admiration and even asking you to take pictures with them. You had used weeks on making them, so people showing so much love felt amazing.

The convention area was decorated beautifully, filled with food stands, games booths, artists showcasing their work, and so much more. You really felt like you had stepped through time and were now living in a world where Vikings ruled. You stopped to admire some jewelry and other handwork, and Barley caught your eyes being glued to this little wooden figure which was beautifully engraved, and had a price worthy of all the work the carver had put into it. You sighed and turned to the next booth, unaware that Barley already dug up his pockets to buy the figure for you.

And as soon as you sat down to stretch out your legs from all that walking, Barley ran up and carefully placed a little box onto your lap. "This is yours," he told you proudly before kissing your cheek sweetly. You picked up the small wooden box with runes and arched an eyebrow.

You opened the lid slowly, revealing the beautiful little wooden figure inside. Your hand flew in front of your mouth as you looked up to Barley.

"But this cost—!"

"Not enough for me I'd pass the opportunity to make you happy." He grinned at you as your eyes sparkled upon inspecting the figure.

"Barley, you shouldn't have! I don't know how I could ever thank you enough..." you murmured shyly. He smiled softly at you again as you kissed him gently.

This was by far the best date you had ever been on, you couldn't wait what life would have in store for you and your marvelous, kind and sweet boyfriend.
