perfection; pyrocynical (niall comas)

chapter twenty-one

the four of them had a happy trip after that. niall got her a beautiful cinderella themed ring, as he knew well that cinderella was june's favorite disney princess. she was always caught looking at it, and they always teased her about how much she did it.

"june, you're staring again." alex laughed, and june snapped back to attention, looking up and meeting her brother's eyes.

"it's so pretty, can you blame me?" june countered, raising an eyebrow at him. alex laughed, shrugging and shaking his head. he really couldn't, and she knew this. the ring was beautiful. the message that it signified was even more beautiful. that she'd marry niall, and that they'd spend the rest of their lives together. it was difficult for june to wrap her head around this, but nonetheless she was thrilled.

"i guess not." alex said, being pulled along by ani to another attraction that june herself didn't pay attention to.

🥀

the entire trip itself was a blur, other than the proposal. that was the only portion that was specifically clear in her mind, that she could recall and still feel the emotions of anticipation and excitement when she watched niall go down on his knee.

"i love you." niall said to her softly. they were sitting on the hotel couches, as the two of them were once again ready earlier than the other couple. june smiled, snapping out of her haze to wrap her arms around him.

"i love you too, niall. more than anything." she really put herself in perspective with these words. she had no idea this is where she'd be when she moved here. she thought she wouldn't get along with the immature boy, and didn't necessarily like the idea of living with her brother and not moving out on her own.

now, she didn't think it was so bad that she had roommates, and a fiancée.

"i should probably continue with my vlog." niall said, pulling out his camera. he'd recorded the entire trip, and his proposal. it wasn't exactly private by itself, as it was in public originally, so he didn't mind recording it too.

"hey fuckers. i'm here with june. we're packing to go home, and disney was a good right out of ten." niall began. june gasped, laughing.

"we got engaged, and it's still an eight out of ten?" june inquired, raising an eyebrow at him.

"shut up, you know it was totally a ten with that reasoning." niall replied, talking both to her and the camera. june quickly learned that niall had an internet persona, which was much different from him off camera. it was obvious, as most internet influencers had one. june was okay with this, and enjoyed the stupidly funny niall that she saw in his videos.

"if you say so." june said, jokingly unconvinced. niall laughed, patting her thigh before continuing.

"but yeah we're waiting for alex and ani to fucking unpack!" niall yelled so they'd hear him, and they did indeed.

"we're going as fast as we can!" ani yelled back, and then there was a loud crash of things toppling, along with alex yelling 'fuck!' as he rushed to clean things up.

"looks like the bathwater really got to him, eh?" june said about her brother, making the both of them laugh shortly after.

the video cut after that, niall putting his camera down. he pressed a kiss to her lips, as he usually did after he was done recording. he always told june he just couldn't help himself. june was all for it, quite honestly, as she returned his kiss.

🥀

once alex and ani were finally done, they headed out of their hotel, locking the door behind them. they cracked shitty jokes as they walked out, the two couples hand in hand with one another. june glanced down at their hands, and then her ring, before looking back up and forward. she dragged her bag behind her, and it hit a few bumps along the way.

as they made it into the lobby, she saw two girls practically recoil in excitement. they shyly walked up to the four. one girl had black hair, with bright green eyes. she had freckles dotting her face, and round glasses. for clothing, the girl wore overalls with a yellow striped shirt. the other had brown hair and brown eyes, dressed in a blue sundress.

"are you imallexx? and pyrocynical, oh my god..." one of them asked alex, who smiled immediately and nodded.

"that's us," niall nodded.

"can we get a picture?" the other piped up excitedly,

"of course! what're your names?" alex asked.

"i'm amelie, and this is mia." the black haired girl introduced herself and the other.

they moved to take a photo with the two boys, before mia spoke.

"wait, june and ani too! mom, can you come take our photo?" mia asked her mother, who looked young. she had brown longer hair, just like her daughter. she wore fake tan, her skin almost orange. the woman smiled, nodding and taking the camera.

june and ani shared a 'so this is what it's like' face when they went to get in the picture. june was next to mia, as the girl's taller figure covered june almost completely when she stood behind her. they all smiled, and her mother snapped the photos.

"thank you so much, oh my god!" amelie went to hug june, which she happily accepted. then mia. they all hugged the girls and then they continued on with their lives.

"that was adorable." ani cooed, putting her hand on her heart and puffing out her bottom lip. june agreed; the girls were really cute.

"i'm happy that they knew who you guys were." alex said to the girls, and they both nodded. it felt good to be recognized, june thought. she enjoyed the feeling of being in a photo.

the feeling of being known.

🥀

they finally boarded the plane, without being recognized another time. june sat in her seat, her head leaning on niall's shoulder. she closed her eyes, humming to herself softly.

"i love you." june mumbled to niall, who smiled immediately, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

"i love you too, june."
