#it's finally christmas break so i've got some free time 😭

Hi can you please do the roller skating thing but with Kalim Ace and vil .

"Do a flip!"

You had to explain to him more than once that you weren't on that level in skating.

"I'm still working on some tricks. I'm not sure if I can manage..."

"You can do it. I'm sure! Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna turn out fine," he assured with sparkling eyes.

You had to tell him that's not how it works and that you need more practice. But you didn't have the heart.

"I know. I'll teach you! Right, right. It's not that hard, everyone can do it," he patted you on the back.

If only Kalim was as good a teacher as he was a learner. You had trouble catching up to his pace. Unlike others who would start out slow before spiraling into a harder difficulty, Kalim immediately started on the more advanced parts.

"We can do this, I believe in you."

You never ran short of morale with him. Maybe it was his out-of-place sunny disposition.

You need at least some sunshine in your life.

You tripped and fell, and scraped your leg. Sometimes it was your arm. But you kept on trying to achieve that flip.

"Let's try doing it again," you tapped him on the back.

He offered a blinding smile. "That's great to hear! But I think we should rest first, I'm beat," he laughed.

"Coconut juice?," he asked you.

"I'd appreciate that, thank you."

He came back with a whole crate.

And a first aid kit.

"This should ease the pain from the bruises you got earlier, I brought some for occasions like this. It doesn't hurt too much does it?"

"It's manageable."

Maybe it was a way to say sorry? You weren't sure. But you were thankful for the gesture nonetheless.

"Well, life's all about learning right?"

It was a sight to behold. You and Ace were scrambling like a couple of waddling penguins.

Very clumsy penguins.

Though, it didn't take him too long to learn the basics. Soon enough, he was gliding with a better form than earlier.

Improvements, bit by bit.

"It must hurt falling on your ass all the time. Can't relate."

As if he didn't land face-first onto the concrete three minutes ago.

"You see, you gotta leave these things to the pros! Don't need a bunch of pipsqeaks," he joked.

You caught him by surprise when you were rushing towards him.

"Hey...hey! Slow down!"

All-fast and all-powerful.

Like a fucking truck.

You both crashed with a resounding thud. Thankfully you didn't sustain too many injuries, the protective gear was doing its job.

"Were you trying to get us killed?! Ah— oh shit, that hurts."

But that didn't mean your bodies weren't going to be sore for the next two weeks.

"Poise and form, darling. Poise and form."

Vil was a demanding instructor, that came without a doubt. For someone whose aim was perfect beauty, it's no surprise that Vil extends his standards to the people that walk beside him.

But that didn't make his training any less effective.

It didn't make his training any less easier either.

"Keep that book on top of your head. If you wish to glide with elegance, you need to first learn how to balance your weight."

Training, as Vil put it, lasted for weeks on end. With each session more difficult than the last.

Wasn't this supposed to be a fun bonding time?

At the end of the month, you could launch yourself with a twirl mid-air. The crowds applauded your little trick.

You searched for his face in the crowd. And you did. It made your heart flutter to see him with a proud expression on his face.

"Care for a dance?" You extended your arm towards him.

"Can you keep up, is the question," he flashed a smirk.

Only one way to find out.

Last week's self help course was interesting enough but not actually super helpful. It kind of pissed me off at times because of its occasional corporate dick riding tendencies. It was a welcome break from work though (with free lunch), so that was something to appreciate it for. I finally gave M the bracelet I got for her and she loved it and thanked me and said she owes me a gift now but she doesn't 😭 I was the one who owed her a gift for her birthday plus last year's secret Santa when she got me an alien necklace even though she wasn't my Santa!

On Friday we finished early, so M and I had enough time to go to her apartment, listen to some coworkers' funny calls, make dinner and eat, go to a random concert at the Christmas fair opening, and drink mulled wine. We had Saturday plans, so we didn't stay out too long, but it was nice and fun to roam through the crowd with her and watch the concert.

On Saturday I woke up at noon so I only had enough time to eat something, take a shower, and roll 2 joints for me and M to smoke at her place 😭 the plan was to make mulled wine, but smoking together has been a long time goal of ours, and we finally had the opportunity, since her flatmate went home for like a month or two. We met up to go and buy mulled wine and Sunday breakfast supplies, mulled the wine, then her cousin came over to pick up some money she owed him. And then overstayed his welcome when he heard I was staying over AND we were gonna order food. And he also messed up our plans to order from this new fast food place we've been talking about for ages, and instead convinced us to order from the cheapest, worst place 🤮 I'm pretty sure I got some sort of skin allergy from that fake cheeseburger I had, and it wouldn't even be the first time. Like a few hours later I saw a spot near my mouth that looked like a hickey but obviously wasn't one. Idk if it's still there 🤡 but I'm never eating from that place again.

Anyway, M's cousin wasn't even getting our jokes and just spent a few hours drinking cider and eating a grilled cheese wrap, and gossiping about M's flatmate. When he finally left, M and I went out on the balcony to smoke and we couldn't stop laughing, we kept having the exact same thoughts at the exact same time, our one shared brain cell kept getting activated like a ping pong ball between our skulls. When we went back inside we had to put on the videos we'd watched with her cousin again because they were just too funny and her cousin's presence prevented us from appreciating them to the fullest extent.

So we spent like hours watching random funny videos on youtube, then we decided to watch a horror movie we'd been wanting to watch at the cinema for ages, but we could never find the right tickets for it. So we watched It Lives Inside, and it was probably the worst horror movie I've ever seen in my entire life, hands down. I will make a separate post about it, but god I don't think I've seen a GOOD like GOOD GOOD horror movie from this year so far. They've all been either just bearable or downright awful like I can't believe the current state of horror. Anyway, it was entertaining because we kept laughing at the translated captions, and it was bad enough to tire us out. Afterwards M kept asking me what else I wanted to watch, and I was already sleepy so I kept being like idk whatever you want, and we got stuck in this cycle of indecision, but we ended up going to sleep.

On Sunday we woke up at 8 then went back to sleep until 11, M scrolled through youtube looking at food and I played with her little hamster. Then we made breakfast, ate, watched some more youtube videos, and I left. I ended up smoking the second joint at home by myself, I ate some snacks I had from last week and played video games with my friends the whole evening. They pissed me off a lot, not just because of the game. At some point my bf yelled and I told him to shut up and he got more pissed off, which made me upset and I'm only gonna talk to him after he apologizes. Like I'm just not gonna accept that u yell when you're angry at a game, especially when it's your fault + you complain and hate it when other people yell. And he was like "I'm not gonna change how I react" and "expect to have other fights about this" umm I really don't think that's gonna happen lol. What do you think goes through my head when the person I'm in a relationship with says those things to me? Am I just gonna be like "okay! yay🤗" Like don't be surprised that I'm upset with you and not speaking to you if you downright refuse to work on your toddler reactions and also warn me of future conflicts? Ur gonna be fighting your own demons cause I won't be there for that
