Tayvis one shots

Almost caught

The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting a soft twilight glow over the backyard. Most of the family had gone inside, leaving only Taylor and Travis lingering on the porch swing. The gentle creaking of the swing mixed with the chirping of crickets, creating a serene backdrop to their evening.
Taylor nestled closer to Travis, her head resting on his shoulder. "Today was perfect," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
Travis wrapped his arm around her, pulling her tighter. "It really was. I love seeing you with my family. The kids adore you."
Taylor smiled, her heart warming at his words. "They're great kids. And you," she teased, poking his side, "you're not too bad yourself."
Travis chuckled, his breath tickling her hair. "Glad to know I made the cut."
As they shared a quiet laugh, the back door creaked open, and Jason and Kylie stepped out, deep in conversation. They had just finished cleaning up inside, reminiscing about past family gatherings and laughing at old stories.
"...and then Mom nearly dropped the entire turkey," Jason was saying, his voice full of mirth.
Kylie giggled, her eyes sparkling. "I remember that! She was so embarrassed, but we all ended up laughing and having the best Thanksgiving."
As they rounded the corner, they came upon Taylor and Travis on the porch swing, wrapped up in each other. Jason halted mid-step, a playful grin spreading across his face.
"Hey, you two," Jason called out, his tone light and teasing. "What are you up to out here?"
Taylor and Travis quickly broke apart, both turning red. "Just enjoying the evening," Travis replied, trying to sound casual.
Kylie raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Is that what the kids are calling it these days?"
Taylor laughed, her cheeks still flushed. "Caught red-handed, I guess."
Jason chuckled, shaking his head. "You two are adorable. But maybe next time, pick a spot that's a little more... private?"
Taylor and Travis exchanged a look, their embarrassment fading into amusement. "Noted," Travis said with a grin. "We'll keep that in mind."
Kylie and Jason joined them on the porch, the teasing giving way to more relaxed conversation. They talked about the day's events, shared stories from past Easter celebrations, and enjoyed the gentle evening breeze.
"I remember when Travis and I were kids," Jason began, leaning back in his chair. "We used to have these epic egg hunts. One year, we decided to hide an egg in the attic. Completely forgot about it until the smell reminded us a few weeks later."
Everyone laughed, the mental image of a long-forgotten egg causing a mixture of nostalgia and amusement.
"You guys always have the best stories," Taylor said, her smile wide.
Kylie nodded. "It's always an adventure with this family."
The kids, who had been playing a last round of tag in the yard, wandered over, rubbing their eyes and yawning. "Mom, Dad, can we have a bedtime story?" asked Wyatt his voice sleepy.
Jason and Kylie stood up, corralling the children. "Alright, story time it is," Jason said, ruffling Wyatt's hair. "Let's get you all tucked in."
As they herded the kids back inside, Kylie turned and gave Taylor and Travis a wink. "Goodnight, lovebirds."
Taylor laughed, her cheeks slightly pink. "Goodnight."
With the family back inside, Taylor and Travis were left alone again on the porch. The sky had darkened, stars beginning to twinkle against the inky blackness.
"Well, that was slightly embarrassing," Taylor said, still smiling.
Travis laughed, pulling her close. "Yeah, but at least it was just Jason and Kylie. They won't let us live it down, but it could've been worse."
Taylor nodded, resting her head on his shoulder once more. "True. But I wouldn't change a thing about today."
Travis kissed the top of her head, his lips lingering in her hair. "Me neither. It was perfect."
They sat in comfortable silence, the swing gently rocking back and forth. The events of the day played through their minds: the laughter of the children during the egg hunt, the warmth of the family gathered around the table, the joy of shared traditions.
As they watched the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, they knew they were creating memories that would last a lifetime. Taylor and Travis stayed like that for a long time, wrapped in each other's warmth, savoring the peace and promise of many more happy days to come.
