youth

fifty nine ; real life

"are you ready my love?" dan sticks his head into mabel's bedroom to find the girl looking at herself in the mirror. "mabel." she turns with a pout on her face and dan opens his arms.

"im not pretty" she mumbles into his black shirt. her arms are wrapped righting around his torso. dan sighs and kisses the top of her head. taking her jaw into his hand, she looks up at the boy. "you are perfect to me. now let's go i want to show you something."

it's cold outside, and for their one month dan had something in mind that he'd wanted to do for a while. her hand is tightly holding his as they walk in the wind. mabel is wearing a blue puffer jacket with some black jeans and a peach jumper. een though she's wearing two warm layers, she can still feel the cold nipping at her exposed skin. "daan," she groans at the long distance they're walking, "my feet hurt"

"we've been walking for ten minutes you goof." he chuckles lowly and looks at mabel, who holds pleading eyes on her face. "jump on then" they stop for a moment as mabel climbs into dan's back. luckily, he's definitely strong enough to carry her body weight even though she's pretty light. as dan walks they make up stories and point out pretty sights. every so often mabel ducks down and presses a miss to dan's neck or his cheek or his hair.

"okay you have to trust me. let me blindfold you" mabel's in shock as the words flal from dans mouth. but, she trusts him enough. expecting a fabric material to be wrapped around her eyes, she stands like an idiot. dan puts his hands over her eyes and slowly starts to walk towards where they're going.

dan takes his large hands off the girls face and there stands the london eye, very slowly circling in the night sky. the lights illuminate the dark and a smile is plastered on mabel's face. "dan this is so expensive why-" his lips brush against hers for a moment. she stops him from moving his head as they stand under the lights in the queue. her hands cup dan's cheeks. "because i love you mabel, that's why"

dan holds the white door open for mabel and she steps in, sitting nervously. "I'm not good with heights" she admits to dan as he sits.

"it's okay baby, I've got you." he places his hand on her thigh. mabel lies her head on his shoulder, moving closer to his body.

"hey this is really cliché dan" she smirks over at him, midway through conversation. "were on a ferris wheel and it's nearing the top."

"and i kiss you as it reaches the top. that would truly be cliché, would it not?" mabel looks over at dan who has a quizzical lol on his face, as if waiting for a reply. but mabel knows its rhetorical and chooses not to answer.

"not if I miss you first" mabel straddles dan and smiles at him with innocence. the wheel is at the top and they can see over the entirety of london. mabel takes her eyes of dan for a moment to look in awe at the view. "it's beautiful dan" her eyes are glossy and she's very happy, smiling like a little kid.

"not as beautiful as you" dan pulls her face towards his, stopping as they touch noses. she rolls her eyes and looks at his with love. "such a tease." she moves her lips to his and closes the small space between them. dan bites her lip with cation and pure lust.

the wheel is nearing the floor and mabel looks at dan, with a hint of lust. "dan, i dont want you fans to see us kissing, even if there aren't any." mabel pulls away from him. her jacket is on the other side of the cart and her jumper is beside them, leaving her in jeans and a bra. dans shirt is completely unbuttoned. "we'll get a cab back to the complex okay?" mabel scoots off dan to collect her items of clothing. he nods his head and smiles.

"we're finishing this at your place, mabel"
