People say snowy New York is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen, but you would say they're wrong. You would swear that the most beautiful thing about New York is him. It's the way he presses his forehead against the window of a taxi in order to see the streets full of people dressed in warm winter clothes. It's the way he bears a smile on his face when he's looking at New York's scenery from your hotel room. It's the way he takes photos of you with his little film camera. You grew up in this city, but you never loved it that much before visiting it with him. It's him who makes this city so stunning.
"Do you think we could go ice skating?" He asked you that question on Tuesday morning, and you immediately knew where you would take him. The Rink At Rockefeller Center sounded like a perfect place where to go ice skating.
"Oh, no, no. Wait. I need to take a photo of you," Lando shouts when you're about to put your skates on. You can see how he's looking for his camera in his Kanken. You just form a slight smile on your face and make a peace gesture. You're sure that it will look hideous because you're wearing loose black formal trousers, oversized Lando's grey Clover Motors hoodie, which is almost entirely covered by a dark grey woollen coat complemented with a colourful winter scarf.
"What will you do with that photos anyway?" you ask him when he's putting on his skates. A delightful smile appears on his face when he thinks about it.
"Maybe a little exhibition in our house," he quickly answers your question and winks at you. He cannot get enough of your face, so he would be actually able to do that.
It's a tradition at this point. Lando is taking photos of you or both of you. You don't even know how many pictures he took of you when you were sleeping. Lando is always telling you that the film has not yet been filled with photos, but the truth is that he has already gotten two films developed. He keeps those photos of you two in a photo album that he carries with him almost whenever he's not with you. He needs those little things and little moments that words don't reach.
"Y/N, cheese," he says before pressing the shutter button on the film camera. You're almost sure that your or Lando's head would be missing on the photo because he wasn't really good at taking selfies, especially when he didn't have a screen where he would preview the picture.
Lando is desperately clung to your arm, causing you to fall on the ice together. It must have been so funny to watch you. You probably look like one of those overly happy couples, but the truth is that you're that kind of couple.
While skating on the rink, you realised how lucky you are and also how much you love these casual moments with Lando.
It's definitely nice to live a glamorous life with him. You could never complain about weekends in Paris or holidays in Dubai. You could never complain about designer clothes and jewellery. But perhaps you love the most to be basic, casual, normal.
"Okay, now, we need some hot chocolate," Lando orders when you get off the ice rink. He just grabs your hand without asking. You weave your way through the busy street while holding hands. It doesn't take you long to find a stall selling hot drinks.
"Oh, what a lovely couple you're. By the way, you have a wonderful engagement ring," the older lady says while handing you the hot chocolate.
"Thank you so much, but we're not engaged." You wear a ring, but you always tell people that you're not engaged even though you are. You're counting months you've been together, and you're almost at number forty-nine.
"Oh, hey, may I ask you to take a photo of us, please?" Lando asks a passerby when you're standing in front of a gigantic Christmas tree on the fifth avenue in Park Slope.
"Sure, no problem," a boy in your age quickly reacts. Lando hands him over his camera before going back to you.
Lando wraps his arm around your waist, and right before the boy press the shutter, Lando plants a sweet innocent kiss on your lips.
"I don't know how we are not married yet," you whisper into his ear.
