"So um, that whole play is about love, right? And, like, how powerful it is. How it can make you feel." Riz began before stopping himself from rambling and swallowing nervously. "I love you, Mollie Wilson. I really fucking love you."
As she registered his words, Mollie felt a rush of warmth run through her and her heart began to beat even faster than before. She couldn't stop the grin that formed on her face as the realisation dawned upon her: the feeling that she'd pushed away for so long, or refused to acknowledge...it was crystal clear now.
Looking up into his deep eyes, she felt herself melt under his gaze. "I fucking love you too, Riz Nawaz."
"I think I'm dreaming." He muttered under his breath, struggling to believe what he had just heard. Before he could stop himself, he grabbed both of Mollie's hands and held them tight in his own. "Mollie Wilson, will you be my girlfriend?"
"I'd love nothing more." Mollie replied with a wide grin, nodding her head in delight.
More than satisfied with that answer, Riz placed a hand on the back on Mollie's head and pulled her in to connect their lips. Neither of them could help themselves from smiling into the kiss, feeling the happiest that they'd ever felt.
Seriously, why hadn't they done this sooner?
The sound of a loud bang broke them apart, and when they looked up, they saw the bright glow of multicolour fireworks scattering through the sky.
"Hiring someone to set off fireworks? Ain't that a tad bit presumptuous?" Mollie chuckled, causing Riz to shake his head.
"That's got nowt to do with me. I'm not that arrogant." He let out a laugh. Placing an arm around Mollie's shoulders, he pulled her into his side as they both looked up at the electric colours bursting through the black of the night sky. "Pretty romantic though, ain't it?"
"Yeah, I guess it is." Mollie admitted with a soft smile, snuggling further into Riz as she tried to savour the moment of pure bliss. Her very own midwinter night's dream.

possibly my longest chapter to date, but i literally couldn't miss anything out.
IT HAPPENED! RIZIE (?) IS REAL! its been a ride, but my babies are finally together!!!! eeeek!
alsoooo made a little change bc i feel it's important. i know that in the show hayley is 15, but we're gonna pretend that she's already had her 16th birthday. it just makes me v uncomfortable to write about if she's under the age of consent, so i'm gonna change it so that she isn't. hope that makes sense!
finally, i wanted to say thank you so, so much for 50k reads...like wtf!?! i say this alllll the time but i genuinely mean it from the bottom of my heart: thank you for all your love and support. this show means so much to me and i'm so glad i can share it with other people who love it like i do. <3333
thank you again, and love to all <333
