Work Text:

It’s the first time, isn’t it?

Pointless to lie to yourself. You’re in your own little bubble, up on a terrace, watching the fireworks.

You’ve always loved them.

And he knew that, without even asking. He just knew.

It’s the first time, isn’t it?

Pointless to deny it, as he holds you in his arms, ice cream in your hands, your head resting gently on his shoulder.

It never seemed possible, not at all.

Consider twelve years ago.

It’s the first time, isn’t it?

Yes. It’s the first time that, by his side, you feel so happy you could die.

Notes from the italian website:

Live from uni, written straight after watching the trailer.
I’m a professional fangirl by now, and to think it’ll never happen again because nothing can measure up to this wonderful TV series… Oh, how sad!

I can’t believe I was right: nothing has ever matched this TV series (even though I’ve since discovered Hannibal and, well, it’s brilliant!)
