My anniversary gift to Heejin (SchoneSpring). You're that emotional baggage I'm willing to carry around for the rest of my life.

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:•✧◈✧•:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

You are invited to spend the night at your best friend's house. Of course, the invitation is just the fancy way of saying 'hey, I'm reminding you of our weekly sleepover and you can't miss it just because you're busy, so get your cute butt over here before I drag it myself'.

So, here you are, driven by your mom to Mario's house. You are sitting at the backseat, checking everything you have gathered earlier from your house to the store. 

"Extra, fluffy pillows? Check. Extra, super warm blankets? Check. Energy drinks? Check? Soda? Check? Ten bags of potato chips? Check. Five packs of biscuits? Check. Six packs of candies and chocolates? Check? Oh, um, what else... Oh, yeah! Onesie! Let's see... Check!" When you're clearly satisfied with what you've brought, you immediately texted Mario to inform him that you're on your own way to his house.

He replied back that he'll be waiting by the front door as usual. You get giddy about it and you pocketed your phone in your backpack. 

"Sweetie?" your mom said. "How long have you been friends with Mario?" She swerved gently to the last corner. 

You promptly answered, "Since I was in pre-school." Then, you giggled. "Nowadays, you always asked me this like you just keep forgetting it. Why is that?"

Looking at the rearview mirror, your mom met your eyes. In the reflection, they are almost the same color as hers. She said, "Oh, just nothing, really. But don't you think it's time you should move from your phase and, you know, move on?"

You got a bit confused by your mom's remarks. In response, you said, "'Move on'? Move on from what, Mom?"

Your mom plainly giggled at you, keeping her eyes steady on you in the mirror. Clearly, she knew something you don't and you're almost dying to find out.  

"Oh, come on, Mom!" you exclaimed, nearly jumping up from your seat. "What is it?" 

"If you don't know and if I were you, I'd just leave it at that. You'll find out soon, darling." Then your mom hit the break of the car. "Now... Enough of you dawdling with me. We're already here."

When Mario saw a familiar stopping by in the middle of his parents' driveway, he suddenly bounded down the front porch steps and ran straight at you, who is putting all the grocery bags from the back seat onto the pavement. 

"(Y/N)-chan!" Mario hollered as he rushed towards with his arms wide open. You perked your head up, seeing your best friend running at you like a madman. 

You laughed, finding his antic rather adorable. Mario could literally scream out his little heart out to you and the neighbors won't even mind. They are already used to the activities you both engage every weekend, which is coming over his house for the slumber party.

You aren't even finished laughing when you are suddenly pulled close to a warm body. It is obviously Mario's. His embrace is welcoming and tight, his arms wrapped around like your waist. His head is resting lightly on your shoulder as you felt his breathing close to your nape.
