Unexpected Love

Y/N's POV

As we entered the room and closed the door behind us, a heavy silence enveloped us.
I paced the room, my mind racing with thoughts of what had just transpired. The anger that had surged within me now gave way to a sense of frustration and disappointment. I hated feeling this way, and I hated even more that Ari had to witness it. Turning to her, I took a deep breath, the tension evident in my voice. "I'm sorry you had to see that," I said, my tone filled with regret. "I don't know what came over me. I just... I hate seeing people disrespect you like that."Ari approached me, her expression softening as she reached out to cup my face in her hands. "It's okay, baby," she said, her voice gentle. "I understand. But please, Just leave it alone. We're here to enjoy ourselves, remember?" Her words were a soothing balm to my frayed nerves, and I leaned into her touch, grateful for her understanding. 

"But it was kinda hot seeing you like that and protecting me" she blurted out with a smirk. 

A surprised chuckle escaped me at Ari's unexpected comment. "Hot, huh?" I replied, a teasing grin tugging at the corners of my lips. "Well, I guess I'll have to remember that for next time."Ari rolled her eyes playfully, but I could see a hint of amusement dancing in her gaze. "Don't get too carried away, tough guy," she teased, poking me lightly in the chest.I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close as I leaned in to press a tender kiss to her lips. "I can't help it when it comes to protecting you," I said softly, my voice filled with sincerity. "You mean everything to me, Ari."Her expression softened at my words, and she reached up to caress my cheek affectionately. "And you mean everything to me, too," she whispered, her eyes shining with love.

Ari's POV

"Babyyyyy, wake up, wake up!!! It's time finally!!!" I shout excitedly, bouncing on the bed in an attempt to rouse Y/n from his slumber. Y/n groggily rolls over and checks his phone. "Ari, it's only 6:30 am. The park doesn't even open until 8 am," he groans. Ignoring Y/n's protests, I continue to shake him gently. "Come on, sleepyhead, we have to get ready! We need to be the first ones in line for all the rides, but first we need to get to Starbucks" I insist, my excitement palpable. Y/n lets out a tired chuckle, his eyes still heavy with sleep. "Alright, alright, I'm up," he relents, sitting up slowly and rubbing his eyes.With a triumphant grin, I bounce off the bed, already buzzing with anticipation for the day ahead. "That's my baby! Now let's get ready to make some magical memories," I exclaim, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the bathroom to start getting ready for our day at Disneyland. 

<<TIME SKIP TO THE PARK>>

"EEEKKK! I am so happy we're here!!!" I exclaim excitedly, taking in the sights and sounds of Disneyland. "There's no better feeling than being at the happiest place on earth," I add, my voice filled with genuine joy. Glancing up at Y/n, I find him watching me with a soft smile, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. His presence beside me only amplifies my excitement, and I can't help but feel grateful to be sharing this magical experience with him. Leaning in, I plant a quick kiss on his luscious lips, unable to contain my happiness as we embark on our Disneyland adventure together. But our moment is rudely interrupted by our impeccably timed friends.

"Heeeyyy, Love Birds," Courtney interrupts, her voice filled with playful teasing."Court, you always have the best timing when it comes to us, huh?" Y/n chuckles, shooting her a mock glare.

With laughter and banter, we join our friends as we head straight to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 

Y/n's innocence was endearing as, towards the end of the ride, he mistook the animatronic Jack Sparrow for the real deal."Yyyoooo, is that actually Jack Sparrow?" y/n exclaimed excitedly.Laughter erupted among us."Yeah, y/n, it is. You should ask him for a picture," Tommy quipped sarcastically."Shut up," y/n retorted, realizing his mistake."Aww, baby," I said sympathetically, unable to resist teasing him gently.
