Echoes of Glory: FC Barcelona Imagine

⊹₊｡ꕤ˚₊⊹ Picnic Date (Marc Bernal.)

⚽

After a demanding week of school, with assignments and exams piling up, you and Marc had finally managed to carve out a bit of free time together.

The endless study sessions and late nights had taken their toll, and both of you were craving a break.

On Saturday morning, Marc picked you up with a cheerful grin.

“How about we escape from our textbooks for a while?” he suggested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

You couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m definitely up for that. What do you have in mind?”

Marc’s response was a mysterious smile. As you drove to the park, the anticipation grew. The day was sunny and perfect for an outdoor escape.

When you arrived, Marc led you to a cozy spot beneath a large oak tree. A checkered blanket was spread out, and a basket full of homemade treats was waiting.

There were sandwiches, fresh fruit, cookies, and a thermos of iced tea. The sight was like a breath of fresh air after the whirlwind of academic stress.

“Wow, Marc! This is incredible,” you said, feeling a wave of gratitude.

He shrugged modestly.

“I figured we deserved a break. We’ve been working so hard, and I wanted us to have a chance to relax.”

As you settled on the blanket, the soothing sounds of the park seemed to wash away the tension of the past week.

Marc poured iced tea into two cups and handed one to you. His hand brushed against yours briefly, sending a reassuring spark of warmth through you.

You spent the next few hours simply enjoying each other’s company. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and you found yourself laughing more freely than you had in days.

Marc shared funny anecdotes from his study sessions, while you recounted your own academic adventures, both of you finding solace in the fact that you were not alone in your struggles.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the park, Marc pulled out a small, wrapped box.

“I got something for you,” he said, his eyes twinkling with affection.

You unwrapped the gift to find a beautiful locket, inside of which was a tiny photo of the two of you together. You looked up at Marc, touched by the gesture.

“It’s perfect,” you said softly, your voice filled with emotion.

“Thank you for this.”

Marc smiled, his gaze full of warmth.

“I wanted you to have a reminder of how much you mean to me, especially after this crazy week. We’ll get through the stress as long as we have moments like this.”

As dusk fell and the stars began to emerge, you both lay back on the blanket, enjoying the peaceful evening.

The picnic had been more than just a respite from the grind; it had been a reminder of the love and connection you shared, a beautiful pause in the midst of your busy lives.

When it was time to pack up, Marc took your hand gently.

“Let’s make this a regular thing, okay? A little escape whenever we can.”

You smiled, leaning into him.

“Absolutely. It’s exactly what we need.”

Hand in hand, you walked back to the car, feeling refreshed and content.

With Marc by your side, every moment felt precious, and you knew that despite the busy schedules and academic pressures, you’d always have these cherished moments of peace and connection to look forward to.
