childhood friends turned high school sweethearts geralt and jaskier who go thru a pretty bad break up right after graduation bc the pressure of college and the real world has taken its toll on them bc jaskier is moving across the country for school
and geralt had only planned to do community college and get right into work or smth and anyway they have a big argument and falling out and break it off and don't speak again for 15 years
fast forward those 15 years and jaskier is back in his hometown as a first grade teacher

and his favorite student is little ciri rivia whose dad turns out to be exactly who he feared when geralt walks in for parent-teacher conferences and just /stares/ at jaskier like he's seeing a ghost before jaskier purposefully moves them along as professionally as possible
the feelings havent gone anywhere of course and jaskier finds himself in his and geralts old hang out from back in their school days: a park a few minutes walk from his apartment with a swing set thats seen better days that he and geralt would sit on and make out
but also with the best view of the sunset when u caught it just right
he sits on one of the swings and lights up a cigarette and watches as the sun starts dipping along the horizon and isnt surprised when geralt walks up

he just feels the ache in his heart thats been there for 15 years now
they dont talk, geralt just gets on his knees in front of jaskier and puts his head in jaskiers lap and jaskier runs his hand thru his hair as night slowly falls around them

eventually tho geralt apologizes for how they'd left things, for yelling and getting angry and accusing jaskier of abandoning him when he'd promised he wouldnt and jaskier apologizes for not talking with him sooner and just assuming things would be ok
the night is cold and they need to go home so jaskier urges geralt up and then geralt is kissing him and jaskier melts into it because fuck he's missed this man who always has and always will hold his heart
they end up back at geralts home since ciri's with her mom this weekend and they fall into his bed relearning each other under his sheets until they're too exhausted and satisfied to move
in the morning geralt makes them coffee and jaskier reminds him he's ciri's teacher until the spring so they probably shouldnt have a repeat until then and geralt just presses a kiss to his forehead with a noncommittal hum and jaskier thinks they're gonna be alright again
and then the school year ends and ciri has two dads now and they all live happily ever after the end
