Yare Yare Christmasdaze

Alone at Last

You reach for your glass of wine for another gulp, the liquid going from your tongue to eventually the rest of your senses, relaxing you.

Your husband, on the other hand, downed a fifth can of beer before swinging it away to the side as he concentrated on his late-night documentaries of marine animals. You were next to him, your shoulders touching each other, wrapped in a big ugly red blanket, on a couch and in front of a flat screen smart TV. He was just in his singlet and pants while you were still in your dress. You had no idea how the hell he's so interested in such things, especially considering what day it is today......

"Ma, when is PaPa coming home?"

"He will come home. Don't worry, Jolyne."

Around 6 pm, your husband, Jotaro Kujo, finally came home from a trip to the Galapagos Islands for his career. You haven't seen such a bright, excited face from Jolyne for a long time as she dashed towards the door exclaiming, "Merry Christmas, PaPa!" before jumping up for a hug. The two shared a sweet, longing moment, exchanging kisses and cuddles and wishes. Just as little Jolyne was about to be placed back on the ground...

"Papa! PaPa! Did you bring any presents?"

Jotaro nodded, lifting the plastic bag he was carrying in response, Jolyne's bright eyes beamed at the object. She immediately dived in, Jotaro yanking it upwards out of her reach. "Dinner first, Jolyne."

After dinner, present opening and family reunionship, little Jolyne was soon to fall asleep after feeling fatigued over her energy spent during the Christmas Eve celebration. Both you and Jotaro decide not to disturb her for the rest of the night thus lead him to carry Jolyne to her room with her new life sized dolphin plush she got today.

After putting Jolyne in her room, you and Jotaro decide to spend the rest of Christmas Eve yourselves, deciding to 'take it up a notch' from there.

"Joootaroooo~" you whined, your drunken and longing state leaving you needy for Jotaro's attention. It's been a month since you last saw him in person, and even through texts and FaceTime he would always either not answer or cut it extremely short because he was busy. Not this was the first time he travelled for a long time either – in fact he did it quite often, leaving you to care for Jolyne yourself with only some financial hands from your husband most of the time.

Jotaro let out a low grunt, muttering the words "Yare Yare Daze" as he dropped his empty can onto the floor despite to your disapproval on this behaviour you demonstrated several times tonight after his each litter.

Jotaro reached for another can, only to see his side of the sofa lacks any sign of unopened cans of beer. His eyes immediately darted to your side of the sofa, where he spotted a fresh, unopened can next to you, which caused him to dart at the can.

He was halted when you confiscated the can first and used your other hand to hinder his movement. Jotaro growled lowly in defence, which in turn you shushed him upon placing your index finger on his lips.

"Jotaro... pay attention to me and you can have all the drinks you want." you offered, Jotaro only refusing responding with 'bitch' and lifting himself up to go to the kitchen and get some more. Before he could do anything more than a nudge, you abruptly jumped on his lap to stop him from moving. You could see his irritation, but that didn't faze you.

"Jotaro, if I can receive something from this evening tonight, I'll promise you can have as much beer as you want after..." You scooted in closer, finishing your pledge, "...after we have this eve to us and only us."

You could hear him clicking his tongue, much to your dismay. You responded, pouting - which isn't usually like you, probably a side effect from drinking a lot. And this current feeling of immediate need is probably heightened from the wine you took a bit too much of at the dinner table and the cans you had. You pressed your chest against his, closing the bodily distance between you and him. You continued to beg, "Jo-ta-rooo!"
