liamscxtt​:

“looks like you really have missed a lot. i’m a changed man now, ollie.” a laugh slipped through the crack of his lips as he broke out into a small smile. it was actually crazy to think just how much time had passed between the two. it felt like it was just last week when the two were hanging out either in the bar or in the hidden workroom at the gallery she worked at. while it was sad to think about, he couldn’t help but to smile at the good memories. the man walked over with the other to the counter, immediately handing the cashier the right amount of cash to pay for the others drink. it was the least he could do after almost knocking her completely down. “yeah, life did get hectic, didn’t it? it always seems to pan out that way.” he said with a nod, now taking a sip of his own caffeinated beverage. liam couldn’t help but to playfully roll his eyes at the mention of dalton. it was all love, really. “yeah? and how much shit has he talking?” he asked jokingly, his smile showing that there was no malice or heat behind his words. his eyes began to look around the small cafe as he waited for the girl to get her drink, his feet beginning to walk alongside her as they both began making their way towards the door. another laugh left him as she called him out on his bullshit before he could even begin to speak. “we haven’t even been talking for more than five minutes, and you’re already calling me out on my shit.” he chuckled. “i’ve been okay, just working a lot and trying to keep up with schoolwork.” he shrugged. “what about you? catch me up on all things ollie blair.”

“don’t ask me that , i’ve been put under medici oath to not tell a word of anything he’s told me so my lips are sealed ”  she teased , shaking her head before she raised her drink up to her lips and took a sip. her own laugh soon followed after his when he immediately picked up on her quickness to sift through the facade she knew he was likely to put up. “it may have been a while since we last talked but i could never forget your mannerisms mr.scott” her laugh softened just enough so she could hear him speak , fading into a smile as she listened to him. “that’s good , you know - -  that you’re focusing on the necessities right now , you always seemed like you were overworking yourself sometimes , it had me a bit worried at some points” one thing ollie could never deny was that she cared about liam , she always had ,  so it was nice to hear that he was at the very least doing what he could to take care of himself. “i wish i had much to catch you up on but honestly i’ve just been doing the same thing i always do…a lot of art and a lot more studying” she chuckled, pushing a bit of hair behind her ears. “but yea i’ve been good , i have a new roommate and a new puppy…and also a duck but the duck is my roommate so don’t ask” she laughed , she’d never quite used to get used to saying she lived with a duck, would she? “you know , you should come over one day so we can like…properly catch up - - and if you need any further convincing i can promise you there’s a certain short-legged ball of fur who really misses you too” she said , turning her head glance over at him as they walked.

alexfitzgerald​:

while alex absolutely loved being at the clinic, today had been a pretty exhausting day - but that didn’t mean that he was less excited when he came out to call the next client, smiling when he saw milo jumping on him, before he was crouching down to pet it, a smile in his features as he allowed the dog to lick his face as he let out a small chuckle. he had always the habit to greet the dogs first, but maybe that wasn’t the best option. as he finally stood up to look at ollie, he smiled. “i’m glad that he feels safe enough to not bite my hand. but i wouldn’t be mad at him.” he said with a small nod, as he started making his way inside of the office with ollie and milo. “oh, it’s been a couple of hours, but i had some lectures in the morning… and then i came here, so i’m pretty tired.” he said, nodding his head as he looked at his chart for milo. “but luckily i have the day off tomorrow.” he said with a nod - he had always liked ollie and he felt at ease with her, so much that he felt comfortable talking to her more than usual. “how are you, ollie? and how is milo? he’s just in for his shots, right?” he asked, looking down at the dog with a smile on his face.

“even if he did try to bite you , it wouldn’t hurt very much - - he’s not as menacing as he things he is in that little head of his” she laughed , letting alex and milo exchange their affections before she scooped the pup up and into her arms. “when the conversation was redirected to her she didn’t even think before letting out a sigh , “I’m…well i’m good i think - - i have a gallery showing again in a few weeks so that’s been freaking  me out a bit. i feel like I haven’t even had a second to feel myself breath , you know ? but alix and i are going to hawai’i in a few days so i’ve been looking forward to that” a faint smile came to her lips as she tried to remind herself of the positives soon coming her way.  “but other than that i’m doing great , i got a new puppy too! did i ever show you  photos?”  she quickly pulled her phone out of her back pocket so she could show him photos of the little golden doodle. “do you have a break soon? we should go for coffee or something , maybe that’ll help you get through the rest of your shift without falling asleep at the desk” to be completely honest , ollie might have just been looking for an excuse to spend some time with alex outside of the office. it wasn’t very often that she met someone who seemed to be exactly like her - - someone with a kind spirit and an aura that radiated an energy that matched hers to a tee , it was refreshing to spend time with him.

calliopexfletcher​:

“Yeah, even got roped in to helping set up this thing.” Though she was clearly not happy about it from her tone. Her face turned back in to a smile when Ollie mentioned she was doing some art for them and nodded quickly. “I’d love to see it!” She answered, walking a little closer to Ollie. “At the bar or when they started doing speeches, in the back kitchen with some of the staff.”

ollie let out a soft chuckle when callie had revealed her surprisingly un-hidden hiding spots she’d had been in for most of the day. “what are you doing here anyways? do you know the bride or the groom or are you just…uh…engagement party crashing? is that even a thing?” she teased, tilting the painting to the side a bit more so callie could get a better look at it. “what do you think? i’ll probably add a bit more detail to the scenery and stuff later but right now i need a drink , where did you say the bar was again?”

anastasia-stclair​:

closed starter : { @ollieblair​ }

There were three places in town where you were most likely to fins Stassi: Her dorm room, the arcade, or the dog park. Today was the last one. Clyde was running, chasing some other dog around the park when the two tripped and rolled into a pile together. Rushing over to be sure neither dog was hurt, she glanced up to see the other approach. “I was wondering when we’d be seeing you guys here.” She joked, watching as the two dogs ran off together again.

ollie was convinced that the only real reason milo didn’t mind coming on runs with her was because in his little dog brain he knew that at the end of it they’d always end up at the dog park. there was no point in trying to hold onto milo’s leash because as soon as the two had gotten within a few feet of the park he had already made a run for it so he could go play with the rest of his friends. “we would’ve gotten here faster if milo hadn’t stopped to sniff every single fire hydrant we passed on the way here , i swear he acts like he’s never been outside sometimes before” she chuckled, crossing her arms as she watched him run around. “are we still on for lunch after this? there’s a happy hour menu calling my name right now , i can hear it”

yvettemonet​:

           one sip of her coffee quickly burnt the tip of yvette’s tongue , so , while cringing away from it , she set the mug down on the counter. “ that’s so cool ,“ she gaped. a bit of innocent jealous sunk into her , just a twinge and only for a moment , that ollie had a space like that to be creative. above all she loved that her roommate had a space like that back home — there was nothing yvette cared more about than kids being able to have a safe space to create their art. “ i should have guessed , i knew your art was familiar some how. it’s all gorgeous though. claude would be jealous if he could see your work. ” when ollie flipped the question back onto yvie , she picked up the mug once again to try and hide the embarrassed smile that had taken over her expression. “ i guess i’m more of an … abstract artist. i take images from my head of things i’ve seen on the streets and i just — add more colour. ” now , that wasn’t entirely true , but ollie had only seen the paintings that yvie had brought along. not the ones hiding away in storage that really showed the kind of art that she tended to do. the stuff hidden away was certainly abstract and definitely had no place being put up around ollie’s — even though it was technically both of their’s apartment now — home. guests didn’t need to see pink and blue nude bodies on a canvas hung on their walls. “ i’m glad you like them , ” she accepted the compliment bashfully.      “ how long? ” a second past before she realized that she probably needed to clarify what she was asking , “ i mean , how long have you been painting? what got you into it? ”

ollie was quick to let out a laugh at yvie’s comment about monet , “claude would probably sue for royalties if he saw some of my work and honestly i wouldn’t even be able to blame him” her laugh echoed a bit into her mug as she lifted it to her lips to take a sip of her coffee. “ugh no way, i love abstract art…it’s looks so freeing to paint , like pouring all of your thoughts out onto a canvas no matter how crazy they are” it may have been apparent in the way that she perked up the second yvie mentioned she did abstract art , but she really did admire artists who did that kind of work - - to her it was so fearless , which was a trait she always wished she had within herself. “umm….i’m not sure , i mean i didn’t really get into painting and stuff until i was in like middle school but i was always an arts and crafts girl growing up and then i guess it just turned into an outlet for me. painting was the only thing that could fully distract me from my disaster of a life at the time and i think i used it so much to cope that it turned into something i loved to do very quickly and…well…i guess i never really looked back after that” a soft chuckle fell from her lips as she shook her head at her terrible answer to yvie’s question. “sorry , i don’t know if that fully answered what you were asking but like, i don’t know i feel like art is just something i’ve always know , you know?” she sighed , slumping back into her chair and looking up at yvie once more. “what about you? was art always something you gravitated towards or was it more like a chance thing?”

𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 : some resort in hawai’i , in bed catching z’s

           sleeping alone had become a thing of the past for alix and ollie as soon as they had started dating. most nights they were together ; it had gotten to a point that he was beginning to think that sleeping without her beside him would be impossible — her snores were something he’d grown accustom to , and the way she  held  onto him was a comfort he never thought he’d find. tonight was one of those nights — ollie was in his bed , snoring away , and there he was holding onto her , lost in a dreamless sleep. it had to be early into the night , no earlier than  2  am  , when a jolt at his side made his eyes flutter open. sleepy and confused , his gaze  darted  around the room. at first he had thought it was dante — that dog was a spaz and a half , always full of energy even in the dead of night. but dante was laying there at the edge of the bed , using ollie’s feet as his pillow as he snored away too. it took another jolt against his side for alix to process that it was  ollie  who had woken him up. “ ollie? ” he whispered , turning over onto his side to face her. his hand gently placed itself on her shoulder … would waking her up be a bad idea? he almost hadn’t , he would have stuck with softly rubbing her shoulder as she slept , but in the pale light illuminating his room he could see the gleam of tears on her cheeks. that was enough to bring him to wake her up. “ ollie , ” he repeated , louder this time , now lightly shaking her shoulder. “ baby , wake up. ”

these things always seemed to happen at the strangest times. for the most part , ollie’s vacation with alix had been pretty stress free, it was so relaxing even that it had gotten her to fall asleep before the clock struck midnight  ( which for ollie was something that didn’t happen very often ). it had been a while since she had a nightmare like this , so long that her body kicked into overdrive when it came to its reaction. she of course hadn’t necessarily meant to pull at alix’s shirt while she was sleeping , but thank god she did ; if she had gotten any deeper into the nightmare that was playing so vividly in her head she would’ve launched herself into a full blown panic attack. the shake of her shoulder had been the thing to finally bring her out of her sleep , letting out a loud gasp as she shot up in the bed. it took her a second to come back to reality and try her best to ground herself to her surroundings ,  tears rolling down her cheeks as she ran her shaking hand through her hair. “i…uh…sorry” she muttered out , her eyes staying trained down on the sheets her hand was toying with as she sniffled. she was clearly still out of it , “i’m sorry alix i didn’t mean to—“ scare you , that’s what she would have said if she could have gotten the words out before she felt another wave of tears come over her , raising the duvet up a bit so she could bury her head to muffle the soft sounds of her crying. “he was so mean to me alix , i was just a kid i didn’t know what to do” somewhere in the logical part of her brain she knew alix wouldn’t have a clue what she was talking about but that part of her brain was turned off at the moment.  

“i’m scared”

austin: yeah, i think that one might be mine, sorry

austin: please don't look ...

austin: i'm holding something for a friend

austin: i don't take any responsibility for what's in there

ollie: so...you just have this condom in here for safe keeping?

ollie: interesting...

ollie: i'm gonna throw it away, it definitely has a hole in it and i'm pretty sure that defeats the whole purpose of the condom

ollie: do you wanna come get your jacket soon? it's just me and the dogs at home so you can stop by whenever :)

“guess who?” ollie knew it probably wasn’t the best idea to sneak up on alix while he was busy wiping down a table , but what was the worst he could do? whack her in the face with a wet rag? “i called a few minutes ago and they said you were supposed to be taking your lunch break soon so i figured maybe we could eat together? i made you some lasagna .. and cookies!” the smile on her face was nothing short of prideful as she help up the little tote that carried both of their lunches for the day in it. there was a quick turn of her head so she could look around and make sure no one was looking before she used her free hand to grab his face and place a peck ( or two ) on his lips. “i walked here from my place and i’ve gotta say , these hills in san francisco are no joke” her legs were practically still burning from the walk over , but at least she got her cardio in for the day. nonetheless, her smile beamed up at him , both because she was eager to spend some time with him but also shock she had managed to pull the surprise off so swiftly  “sorry , i’ll let you finish this and go clock out or whatever and then you can come show me the best table in the whole restaurant , deal?”

a frown had long ago settled on ollie’s face as she sat in the vet’s office. she always hated taking her dogs to get shots but she also knew that the second or two of hearing them whimper in pain would be worth it for them to be happy and healthy. her leg bounced until finally her name was called by not just any vet , but her favorite vet in the office. “oh thank god  - -  i think if anyone else would’ve walked out of that door milo would’ve tried to bite their hand off while he was getting his shots” she chuckled as she looked down at the poor unsuspecting dog , who was currently happily jumping up on alex in a desperate plea for affection. “how long have you been working today? i don’t wanna sound rude but you look a little … um … exhausted”

calliopexfletcher​:

It was a well known fact that Calliope and her step-siblings didn’t get along. So when one of her step-siblings got engaged and was using Callie’s dad’s money to pay for the party boat to celebrate, it was fair to say Callie was annoyed. She was told she had to be there by her dad but that didn’t mean she had to enjoy watching the chaos. She’d been sat on one of the chairs when she noticed a familiar face off to the side which prompted her to go over. “Well, well, well, who do you know? The bride or groom to be?” She leaned against the railing, looking to them. @egustarters​

one of ollie’s favorite things to do was live painting , so when she saw a couple on facebook asking for someone to do just that for their engagement party she couldn’t help but jump at the opportunity. she had just about finished painting a scene of the soon to be husband and wife staring off into the distance at the water , and was about to start added the final touches of detail when she heard the recognizable voice speak up next to her. “callie? have you been here this whole time?” ollie was honestly in shock it took her this long to notice her , let alone for the two of them to speak. “neither of them actually , i’m just here doing a painting - - wanna see?” a faint smile spread across her lips as she tilted the canvas over for callie to look at. “ i can’t believe you’ve been here and i had no idea - - where on earth have you been hiding?”

olivercyprus​:

Oliver had been super excited to get an invite from Ollie to come just chill, her company had always been something he’d enjoyed his entire childhood. The two just got along so well, and he liked having her here with him to calm his nerves when he felt anxious or just needed someone who knew him close to him. Oliver had been sitting on the couch, strumming his guitar and watching her do her thing. He turned his head as well, he’d been watching her paint and it didn’t seem lopsided to him, “Uhhhh… I don’t see it.” Oliver turned his head again before chuckling at her response. “The lopsided flower represents the wilting energy of the American people.” Oliver rolled his eyes playfully at his own attempt of sounding like he knew what he was talking about. “What am I playing?” He asked, looking down at the strings. “Thank you, thank you. It’s just a little tune I’ve been trying to work on.” He shrugged his shoulders, “Work in progress.” Oliver’s eyes lit up at the mention of food, he couldn’t help it, this always happened. “Is that even a question? Mexican sounds incredible.” Oliver wasn’t about to turn down the possibility of free food. 

“your ‘work in progress’ stage of music sounds that good? if that’s the case then i have no doubt you’ll be some kind of rock star some day” there was a hint of teasing , but there was more sincerity in her tone than anything. “i’ll text him to see if he’s there - - but while we wait you need to tell me about how things have been going with that band you’ve been opening for? you know…I don’t know if yvie knows this, but i’m pretty sure that’s her sister you’ve been playing with?” ollie had of course been to a few of ( really a lot of ) oliver’s shows and at this point she was beginning to think that either it was charlie or maybe that there was some long lost monet twin roaming around the streets of San Fran - - though the first option was obviously much more plausible. “but seriously how’s it been? people must really like you guys because i genuinely don’t think i’ve ever seen that many people there to watch an opener in my life - -it’s kinda funny seeing you go from playing air guitar with thise sticks we’d find in the park to now literally being in a spotlight …  you should be really proud of yourself oli” a sweet smile began to spread across her lips as she got up , walking over to where she kept the dog’s harnesses so she could get them ready to start walking over to the restaurant.

daltonmedici​:

         “ hi, maya ! ”  dalton coos, gingerly taking the pup from ollie  —  she seems to take a liking to him fairly quickly, tail wagging at the speed of light as she sniffs at his face, and he just beams. dalton’s always been a dog person.  “ it feels a little bit like a personal attack that you didn’t come with. did you and alix have a good time down here, at least ? ”  he questions, stepping to the side so she could step into the house.  “ it was fun. reminded me a lot of home, which was nice… and then also weird because it was nice ? ”  thoughts of his childhood tended to come with sadness. ever since him and vedette had eloped in toronto, all the bad memories had replaced themselves with much more sweet recountings. he shuts the door behind her, trying not to trip over kobe has he walks between dalton’s legs.  “ he doesn’t have any plans yet ? ”  daltons tsks playfully.  “ why don’t you guys go out for a nice dinner or something ?  it doesn’t have to be anything massive, just as long as you’re together. ”  which is rich coming from dalton freaking medici of all people. 

“of course we had a good time , it’s kinda weird to say but it felt like … i don’t know almost kinda weird to just like have him all to myself? he had taken most of the week off of work and we just spent the whole time together playing house - - kinda just made me realize even more just how much I love him you know” she squeezes her little rant in just before dalton continues , a melancholy smile on her face as she can tell he’s trying to process that new , sweeter memories he was just talking about. “ugh i don’t know , he always likes to keep things a surprise so every time i try to pry something out of him he’s like ‘ooh es una sopresa mi amor!!’ “ she had to pause for a second , couldn’t keep herself from laughing at her terrible attempt at both spanish and an impression of alix before she continued. “- - it’s great i mean don’t get me wrong , i love surprises but now i just don’t know what to get him” she knew she shouldn’t be as stressed as she was about the situation , but it was their first valentine’s together and it needed to be perfect. “i was thinking about maybe taking him to this wolf sanctuary? i don’t really know how valentine’s day-ey it is but i do know that alix had been wanting to go there ever since i showed him this picture of me there a few months ago … is that stupid?” a huff came soon after her dramatic groan as she flopped down onto dalton’s couch. “i don’t understand how you do all this romantic stuff all the time for v , it’s not even valentine’s yet and i’m already a nervous wreck”

ollie: but i'm also scared to look , so consider yourself safe just this once
