sugar lips

a look into the future

↪︎ hope's pov.

"you what?!" i shouted, and both kai and mattia started laughing while clinging onto each other. "yes, i know!" kairi said, agreeing with my shock.

"i can't believe we did that." mattia said. "i mean, skinny dipping in our school's pool? were we crazy!" kairi nodded, holding his husband's hand.

"i still can't believe that was almost 11 years ago. we were about your age when we did that, hope." kairi said, almost teary eyed from the sudden memories that came flooding back. "you were the cutest 5 year old, hobi." mattia said.

"i know." i simply replied.

it's been 11 years since mattia and kairi have been together, and today we're celebrating their anniversary. november 23rd. we're all sitting in the soccer field kairi first confessed in, and it's 1am.

"this brings back so many memories, kid." kairi said, playing with my hair while i was laying on the ground, head on his lap. "i remember running up here, my heart beating so hard. this, hope, is the place where i told mattia that i loved him."

"the best day of my fucking life." mattia replied, kissing kairi softly on the lips. "when we came back home, at like 2am, you were so happy to see us together!" then, mattia's eyes went wide before he burst into a loud fit of laughter.

"babe, do you remember what ale and alvaro did that night?" he exclaimed, tears on the verge of falling down to his cheeks." kairi thinks a little, tugging on his bottom lip. "no, i don't think i remembe- OOOHH!" he fell on the fake grass, laughing with all his heart.

i was confused, but they didn't seem like they were gonna tell me what was going on so i let it be. "i miss the days where you would call us mama and daddy, what happened to that?" kairi randomly asked once he's calmed down. i sighed. "kai, i'm almost 17. and you have a kid yourself, remember?"

"yes but you're my firstborn." we all laugh. "you may be seo-yeon and max's biological kid, but you're also mine and mattia's. we saw you grow up since you were five!"

mattia and kairi got married a little over 3 years ago, them being 23 at the time. they are now 27 and thriving, adopted 2 cute little girls named angelina and soleil, bought an adorable house two blocks away from mine and have two stable jobs. they already have their whole life planned ahead.

"mattia, kairi..?" "yes, hobi?" they both replied. all attention on me, i ask the question that i've been dying to hear the answer of. "how did you guys know that you liked each other.. as more than friends?"

"why do you ask? do you have a cruuuush, hobi?" kairi asks, teasing me. before i can shake my head no, the sudden memory of the cute new boy walking down the hall came back to my mind. so fucking adorable. wait.

i quickly shook my head, covering my burning cheeks with my hands. they both noticed i was acting weird but decided not to say anything about it.

mattia scrunched up his eyebrows, thinking. "i think i kind of always knew, to be honest. i'm not sure how to explain it, but i always thought about kairi. even when i thought i wasn't, at the end of the day, he came back to my mind, and it made me smile. made me feel all giggly and such."

"mattia had a big dick and i couldn't stop thinking abou-" "kairi!" we both shouted.

he laughed, clinging on to mattia. "we should head home." mattia whispered, breaking our comfortable silence. "let's just stay like this a little longer."

and so the three of us sat like this. just like mattia and kairi did 11 years ago. just like i'll do maybe in the future, with my lover. just like angelina will do, and just like soleil will, too.

and this is the official end of sugar lips. thank you to everyone that's been with me since day1, you guys make my day sm better by all your nice comments. i may not reply to them, but i read every single one.

i hope you loved this book as much as i enjoyed (sometimes) writing it. this is my first book so it was hard for me, coming up with new ideas and new ways to write, and on top of that people wanting another chapter. it stressed me.

so i'm happy to finally say our journey with mairi is over <3

i also want to say that i'll be leaving this fandom. please don't hate me but i can't stand the shit mattia does. it seriously gets me mad, i am very very disappointed in him. i joined in october, back when he used to be hot, funny, not racist, and unproblematic.

i hope you understand my decision, i'm sorry if i let you down.

thank you again for reading 🤍
