—————————————————————————
It was a Monday afternoon and you were back at your apartment after staying at Claude's house for a long while, Esmeralda was coming home today and you've cleaned the apartment inside and out. You didn't want Esmeralda to come home to a mess, Clopin and Hugo gave djali back so you weren't completely alone. You were sitting at your desk, finishing some holiday assignments while djali was sleeping on your lap. You were listening to some music while you worked, you were still in your comfy pjs and your hair was in two plaits for easy maintenance.

Esmeralda could be home any minute now, you were excited to be with her again, you assumed Claude was at work since he only had a small conversation with you over text this morning. You kept typing on your computer until you heard the door opening, your eyes shot open as you stood up with djali in your arms. You put him down and ran to the door, where you saw Esmeralda standing inside with her bags. You smiled, you couldn't even say anything, you just ran up to her and hugged her tight, she hugged you back and laughed, you were now laughing too. "I missed you so much" you said into her shoulder, she kissed the top of your head "I missed you too".

You let go of her and helped her put her bags away, you stayed with her in her room and helped her unpack her clothes. "So how was it at Claude's house?" She asked as she started folding her clothes, "it was great, I had a great time, what about you? How was it with Phoebus?" You asked her as you handed her some clothes. She chuckled "it was great, for new years we went horseback riding, it was so fun, he has a horse named Achilles, I didn't even know that until the horse started running at him" she said laughing, you chuckled "that sounds very romantic" you said sarcastically. "What did you do for new years?" She asked as she hung up some of her jackets. "Well we went out for dinner with some of his colleagues, but I think they're his friends more than just colleagues." She smiled "and how did that go?" She asked, smiling at you, you half-smiled "well..it was great, there's this woman called Mary, a bit younger than Claude, she's amazing, she's so nice,  and there's a guy called Victor, he's alright, he's very nice too." You stopped, Esmeralda looked at you "yess?" She said, Gesturing for you to keep going.

"There was these two other guys, I don't even know their names, but they had some problem with me, they kept giving me weird dirty looks, like they had some hate for me, but I don't even know them, and they mocked me when I was telling Mary and Victor about myself as they asked. When I told them I was 24, they kept glaring at each other and giving me judgy looks, thinking I'm some desperate whore or something for going with an older man." She frowned "what did Claude do about it?" You sighed "he told them to stop mocking me but, he was getting insulted himself, him and Victor, they were trying to make fun of their grey hair, but Claude kinda called them out for it, nobody likes them anyways" she frowned "they sound like assholes, I hope they didn't ruin the night though".

You shook your head "of course they didn't, after dinner those assholes disappeared, so the rest of us just went to Claude's house and had some drinks, and waited for the clock to strike 12". You said as you finished putting the rest of her clothes away.
"It doesn't even feel like a new year" she said, sighing, you nodded in agreement "yeah you're right".  Esmeralda looked down at her lap then back up at you, smirking "so...what do you want to do tonight?" You looked at her and raised an eyebrow "hm I don't know, what did you have in mind?" She laid on the bed "I was thinking that maybe we could go clubbing" she said smirking. "Like the one near us?" She shook her head and looked up at you "noo, I mean like actual clubs, not our work". You rubbed the back of your neck "oh I don't know..." she rolled her eyes and pulled you down next to her "y/n you act like we're 30, we're still young and how long has it been since we've been clubbing?"  You sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
