im tired of all these askmemes being for otps tbh

so leave a brotp/platonic ship in my ask and i’ll tell you:

who steals french fries off the other’s plate

who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple

who has to bust or bail the other out of jail

who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues

who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes

who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk

who starts and who wins the pillow fights

who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush

[stargazerisms]

SHE’D SHOVED HERSELF INTO A CORNER OF THE ROOM sitting on the floor no one was sneaking up on her and she’d go down swinging if they tried to drag her out . it was all big talk but there was little a girl with dirt under her fingernails and little sleep could do . throat was raw and she shivered with anger and the condition of the ship , she tensed up when the door opened and held nothing but hatred on her face for who stood there and rooted themselves opposite of where she sat . dark hues leveled on him it was like when he had come into her room what seemed like a lifetime ago and she supposed it had been none of them were going to walk away from this the same , “ fuck you . ” her eyes went briefly to the door before returning to her brother , “ i think you just couldn’t find anyone else on your little list . you were never good at hide and seek . ”

@stargazerisms​

WALKING BACK INTO THE ROOM she’d been left in, connor stares down at her for a minute or two– almost like he’s trying to figure out who she really is. in the back of his mind, it was like an inner battle he’d been losing the longer this went on. ‘’here to babysit for a bit, hope you don’t mind.’’ with an edge in his tone, he moves to sit across from her. ‘’that was a nice stunt you did pull earlier, applaud the effort ‘brina.’’

GUSTAVO ​;​

COLD. 

it was the first thing that had come to mind when he’d awoken in some room drenched in water, only to be greeted with a text from that asshole & his siblings not in sight. though he wasn’t in the gang world, he could still hold his own some.. or at least he liked to think so. after gustavo had finally woken up and it hit him that his siblings weren’t around, he needed to find a way out quick. find either jace or rafaela and bolt with them back home. 

but his pacing in circles comes to an abrupt stop at the sound of the door to his room opening, an immediate slew of spanish swear words escaping him– being thrown like verbal daggers at the intruder. ‘’– don’t you dare think about it!’’ gustavo says all too immediately, reaching for the first thing he saw ( some pipe that had been left out like a toy.) and attempted to scare the other off so they wouldn’t come any further. ‘’i’m not with no gang, i’m just a normall.. normal person?’’ like he’d been unsure of what to say, but still attempted to throw in a light joke while his grip on his weapon got tighter. ‘’i’m warning you!’’

it took everything in his will power to not ACTUALLY TALK . this was going to rely solely on gestures and body language , he had to be careful to not blow his cover . he took care in making sure the door was locked while the other threw curses at him while his back was turned , giving his full attention to the other once again he motioned for the other to lower his weapon . before gesturing to a chair then a door . he had to get gus’ TRUST somehow just to ruin it . he’d rather avoid causing any more harm than what was requested of him , if possible , but he was sure he could overpower the other if needed . he took a cautious half step towards the other holding his hands up to show he had no weapon .

TOTALLY LEGIT HOMETOWN TWEETS -- ( 1 / ?? ) 

[stargazerisms]

he couldn’t remove the mask quicker as soon as he got out of the room . his back hit the wall and he lowered himself down trying to find a way to ground himself , it felt like all the air had been sucked from his lungs . covering his face with his hand he tried to not think about what had happened in such a short time span and not think about what was yet to happen . 

THE CHERRY ON TOP , he had to brand his own brother . the one person that had his back up until this point , someone that when facing was like looking into a mirror . HE TRUSTED HIM . and he sat on the couch and didn’t tell him ANYTHING . HE BRANDED HER . and now he was coming for him , and he knew that as soon as they got off the ship his brother would UNKNOWINGLY be gunning for him . his fingers traced along the mask as he tried to put off the inevitable . this was already hell . how much worse could it be ? there was rafaela and rosebud and others that could be hurt . attachments were bad but it was all human nature .

somehow finding the will to get back on to his feet he stood up to pull the mask back over his head and enter the last door to look all but look himself in the mirror . taking care once more to lock the door as he made his way inside to assess the situation and find the way to make this nightmare end .

NUMBNESS WAS ALL HE FELT as he took the mask off his head after leaving the first room , it had been impossible to breathe he kept a hand on the wall beside him to try and find steady ground . 

he’d been trying to go through the motions and trying not to connect , gus had been difficult and the next two names were going to be damn near impossible . if he thought he had been lost before this was on a whole new level , there was hardly any way to come back to things he’d done and the things he was getting ready to do . dominique and devlin WERE HIS FAMILY . as misguided as it was this was his way of keeping them safe in the long run -- right ? dark hues kept on the ground trying to make patterns out of nothing , there was that little annoying voice in the back of his head reminding him he couldn’t skip a name . taking in one last inhale of air he pulled the mask back over his head and made his way into the new room taking care to lock the door behind him .

her name wanted to leave his lips , but he knew better than to call for a friend for comfort like this . he was a PAWN in some fucked up chess game between A and the people of rosewick , and he had a part to play or he’d just be picked right off the chess board .

-- SKIP A NAME AND I’LL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL .

he couldn’t STOP thinking about that singular sentence . he’d done everything up until this point for THEM , and now two of those people were on the list -- the goddamn list of people to BRAND -- the third was gustavo . his relationship with rafaela was already in shambles as is --

THINK RAFAELA IS GOING TO TAKE IT WELL FINDING MY NAME BRANDED INTO LITTLE REYES ?

IF SHE EVER found out -- she’d have to understand ultimately ( he just had to keep telling himself that ) , it was for devlin and rosebud and her . “ i’m sorry rafaela .. “ the words slipped from his lips without little real thought . it did little good psyching himself up with everything pacing outside the door . he knew full well who was already inside waiting for their rude awakening and he just wanted to get this over with , he was already going to be sick when he got to devlin and dominique . slipping the mask on over his head he pushed the door open to the first name on his list not knowing fully what to expect .

I wish you could've seen the look on your face when you started realizing that it wasn't 'connor' you were talking to. I told you I'd make your life hell and I'm going to follow through with it. Let's see if you're as good as they say when it comes to working under pressure. You have three siblings spread out on this ship, how about playing a little game and racing to save one? Let the gAmes begin, shall we?

slipping twisting and turning down the rabbit hole like alice had going into wonderland . she DREAMT about sam , bambi , connor , and even callum . there was a woman in her dreams she couldn't make out her whole face just the tip of her nose down , her lips moved but sabrina couldn't even begin to pick apart what she was saying . her back landed on solid metal when her phone gave a sharp PING ! and reality all but crushed her back into place . i’ll pass your concern onto the dyer’s next. she sat up quickly causing a wave of nausea , the room was dimly lit like the rest of the ship but there was no sign of connor stalking about it . her head throbbed something awful and she couldn't keep her teeth from not chattering , her attention turned back to her phone that had pulled her from her dreams hoping it was a sign to the end of a nightmare she read what the text said at least half a dozen times the dread settling on her like the cold. she scrambled to her feet and looked around the room again making a hobbled bee line towards the door . half expecting it to be locked there was relief when it gave way with little trouble , poking her head out first half expecting to see connor or a hooded figure she found nothing and exited the room . " sammy " her voice broke barely before a whisper , every part of her body BEGGED her to stop and rest but she needed to get to her siblings . " BAMBI ! " " SAM ! " finding her voice she held on to the wall for support and gritted her teeth , she wasn’t given a time limit but she wanted all this done and over with . tears pricked her eyes as she called out for anyone of her siblings -- connor included .

HEY HYDE,

Long time no see pal. Seems you kind of got lost, buddy because you're not the hero in this no matter how hard you try & no matter how hard you justify it. I own your ass still and I'm ready to put you to work. Below is a list of names.

GUSTAVO REYES

DEVLIN SANTOS.

DOMINIQUE DUVAL.

Yes, you read the top two right. Think Rafaela is going to take it well finding my name branded into little reyes? How do you think your all mighty brother will handle seeing my name in his skin? Knowing I own not only one Santos but two of them? Let's find out, and remember-- skip a name and I'll make your life hell. We'll be in touch again soon, hyde.

how long had he been walking stumbling around in the dark ? a low throb in his head and eyes that refused to adjust to the darkness that surrounded to ship , the simple message had sent a shiver down his spine and every scream that bounced off the wall was cause for panic that it was his brother or rafaela or the like . he found himself stopped against a wall when his phone gave off a little chime he hadn’t realized he missed in the silence . HOPING he had maybe just been in the right spot at the right moment to catch a signal his stomach fell when he read the text the first time . SKIP A NAME AND I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL . rafaela wasn't on the list . but domi , dev , and her brother were . SKIP A NAME AND I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL . he wanted to smash the phone and pretend he never saw it , but the risk of losing EVERYTHING was there .

he couldn’t muster up a mask to hide his disdain for the other , he pointed a finger at her and tried to think of something to say , something witty -- just something but his mouth hung open before he finally settled on , “ you’re unbelievable . “ his hand curled into a fist as he fought every urge to snap at her , it would be PERFECT it was already a ship haunted with the screams of others in various stages of their own versions of HELL . but he shoved his hands into his pockets and found content in playing a long game . “ he had enough FREAKS to coral half the town i wouldn’t doubt their ability OR support all that much , rel . “ there was something of a threat laced in his statement . “ i say we go that way . “ he gestured with his head towards the left of the pair .
