you're at joão's house, cuddled on the couch as you watch a movie, when your phone beeps. its a text message from your modeling manager, about your most recent project.

manager
hey, just letting you know that
its scheduled to be over
by the end of the week
barcelona jobs are complete!
congratulations 🥳

the text message you received was a haunting reminder it was time for you to return home. you had taken on all the projects you could for now, delayed the inevitable for as long as you could.

as you read the message, joão notices the mixed emotions playing across your face. he places a comforting hand on your shoulder, sensing the conflict within you.

"what's wrong?" he asks, his voice gentle.

you clutch your phone, feeling the weight of the decision you had to make. "it's my modeling project," you replied, your voice soft. "it'll be finished at the end of this week, and i have to go back home."

joão's expression echoes your own feelings. he knew what this meant for your relationship—either long-distance or a breakup. he takes a deep breath before speaking, his eyes meeting yours sincerely.

"i don't want us to end," he began, his voice filled with vulnerability. "i want to make this work. so, i have an idea." joão pauses, gathering his thoughts before continuing.

"what if you moved in with me?"

you are taken aback for a moment, surprised by the proposition. the thought of living together was unexpected, but it also filled you with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty.

you take a moment to process his words, the idea swirling in your mind. the thought of spending more time with joão was undeniably appealing, but it was a big decision.

"living together..." you murmur, the words feeling foreign on your tongue. "are you sure?"

joão smiles gently, his eyes never leaving yours. "i'm sure," he replies, his voice firm yet tender. "i want to be with you, and i don't want distance to come between us."

"then i will." you can't fight the smile from lighting up your entire face as you throw your arms around him.

joão's smile widens too, a mixture of relief and happiness crossing his expression. his eyes light up with excitement as he holds you impossibly closer, squeezing you tight.

"let's do it. let's live together."
