Now that I think about it I realize I need to know; first kiss headcanons with the yugioh bois?
Ooohhh first kisses?? Dont mind if I dddoo~ (had to put Atem and yami with the same picture cause of limits sorry v.v)
Tumblr media
Yugi Muto:
Yugi has never kissed anyone before, so at the thought of kissing you his face becomes red hot.
He always thought about kissing you first, but always back out of it. So you will have to make first move.
It was awkward, and teeth hit one another since he didnt know to kiss.
However, when you do it's so magical. You can feel the sparks fly between you two. He tastes as sweet as his personality.
After the first kiss he could get enough of your kisses and kisses you everyday always enjoying the magical feeling you give him.
Ra does he love you.
Tumblr media
Yami/Atem:
Atem is very passionate man, he just cant help these strong feelings. Especially when it comes to his love for you.
So when you first confessed your love for the pharaoh he was so happy that his feelings were returned that he pulled you into a kiss.
Though he hasnt ever kissed anyone before it feels like he has. It wasnt awkward, it was smooth and sensual.
He tastes like the finest wines, and sweet chocolates. It was a sweet combination that makes you crave more.
When the two of you part you already miss each others warmth, but have to keep it respectable due to his status.
But dont worry when night falls he will give more to fulfill your craving.
Yami:
Yami is very confident man, he has to be since he as the title 'King of Games'. However when it comes to you that confidence slips his mind.
When the two of you started dating he was ecstatic to finally call you his own. However the thought of kissing you was driving him mad.
He wanted to so bad to kiss you, but he could seem to find the courage to do it till you pecked him on the lips lightly.
At first he couldnt really think, but once it sunk in, he pulled you in for a proper kiss.
His kiss was bit rough, and tasted liked blueberries and lemons. It was all divine, and both left want more, but settled with hold each other close.
You took his confidence away, but he doesnt mind as long as he gets to kiss you like this every day.
Tumblr media
Joey Wheeler:
Man from the moment he met you he always thought what it would be like to kiss you. How soft your lips would be against his, and how you would taste.
Needles to say he was smitten with you, and knew he had to make you his. Let me tell you that's exactly what he did.
It took him two weeks into the relationship to finally ask you for a kiss, and when you accepted he pull you sweet soft lips to his rough ones.
His was inexperienced and rushed, with the clashing of teeth and clumsy tongues. However it was sweet in nature and tasted savory. Something you could easily get addicted to.
When the two of you pulled away you were both a blushing mess, but that was quickly covered up with laughter and hugs.
It wasnt his best first kisses but he still wouldnt trade it for anything in the world because it was with you.
Tumblr media
Tristan Taylor:
He never thought of kissing anyone before, but when started dating you that's all he could think about.
Your soft lips just seemed so inviting that, but he always go embarrassed with thought of doing it.
You have to be the one to make the first move, but trust me once you do it's all over. He loves the feel of your lips on his, the way your hands fit so smugly with his.
He tastes like smoked wood and honey it's a divine mixture that you cant help but love
The kiss was pure and innocent but you could feel the love behind it
Too bad the mood was ruined by joey bursting in.
Tumblr media
Duke Devlin:
Duke may have kissed other people or two, but you...you were something diffrent.
He knew you were something special, something that would only come once in a life time. So he wanted to make it special.
So he took it slow and made sure he out love into everything he did or with you. There where times were he nearly kissed you, but ended kissing your cheek or forehead.
However, when you finally had enough and locked lips with him, he was in heaven. He felt sparks, the love, and the passion. Most of all he knew you were the one.
The kiss tasted like apple and cinnamon, and you wished it lasted a life time but eventually you both needed to breath.
When you both pulled apart Duke pulled you close and nestled his head in the crook of your neck. It was the most beautiful thing to ever happen to him.
Tumblr media
Seto Kaiba:
Kaiba is a man of few words, he mostly let's his actions do the talking. However, with you he had a hard time doing that.
Whenever you came close to kissing him he would always move away, and when tried to Express your feelings to him he wouldnt say anything.
To began to feel like he didnt care for you as much as you do for him. So one day you Began distancing yourself from him.
He took notice of this and knew why you have been acting this way. So he caught you while you were walking through the halls of Kaiba Corp. He pulled you into a kiss.
The kiss was inexperienced and rushed, but it was magical all the same. It tasted like smoked oranges.
When you pulled away he apologized for his absence, and took the day off to be with you and Mokuba.
Tumblr media
Bakura Ryou:
Bakura is inexperienced and nervous when it comes to dating, but he was willing to try with you.
The thought if kissing you was both scary and fascinating to him, so when you brought it to him he jumped into action.
He shakily put a hand on your face, and leaned in slowly. It was real agonizing up until you lips finally met. When they did he forgot how scared he was.
It felt like heaven to him. With your soft lips molding with his, and you tongue facing with his. He could ask for a better first kiss.
He tasted like peaches and cream, he is sweet as his personality. When the two of you parted his face was red, and he quickly hid his face in your shoulder.
The two of you cuddle for the rest of the night happy just to be in each others arms.
Tumblr media
Yami Bakura:
Yami didnt have time for relationships or caring for others, don't surprised everyone including himself when he fell for you.
You were pure a beautiful to him, and he wanted that for his own. So when you confessed feelings for him he didnt waste time snatching you up for his own.
Because of his search it took awhile for the two of you to share your first kiss, but when you did it was a lot softer then you thought.
His was brash but soft. Tender and full of love, but also want and need. It was as mixed as his feelings, but you knew how he felt and that's all that mattered.
His kiss tasted like cucumber lime. Refreshing yet tangy, and his lips were soft then one would believe.
"You mean the world to me, even if the world isnt shit..."
Tumblr media
Marik Ishtar:
Despite all his talk Marik is a bit shy when it comes to dating. So when the two of you started dating he was a bit lost.
For awhile it was nothing more then holding hands and hugging. Until the two of you went to the fair.
As you guys were riding the ferris wheel, your cart sat on the top. You could see most of domino city, and it was so breath taking.
That was when Marik called out your name, and when you turned to fave him his lips met yours.
The kiss was nervous and uncertain, but at the same time it was loving and careful. He tasted like cider and cinnamon.
When you pulled apart he pulled you close once again "I love you...so much, and I'm so lucky to have you."
Tumblr media
Yami Marik:
He doesnt waste time in taking what's his, so not long after your relationship was established he snatched you up and smashed his lips on yours.
He didnt care who witnessed his shameful acts, he just wanted them to know who you belonged to.
The kiss was rough and full of want, but you could still feel some love behind it.
His kiss tasted like salty bourbon. It was hot against your tongue but felt relaxing all at the same time.
When you pulled away he locked his lips, then grinned at you.
"I love the taste of purity"

Plesse tell me about queerness in the get down!!
okay okay queerness in the get down let's fuckn goooo
disclaimer: I havent watched this show in full for like 5 months at least, probably gonna get something wrong and/or forget some more important bits. also this wasnt proof read I just word vomited
tws: period typical homophobia, abuse mention, f slur use, bury your gays trope, overdose mention, mention of a creepy possible age gap (the age gap hasnt been confirmed so that's why its possible), cops
going from least to most prominent queer characters, let's start with mylene cruz!
so, from the beginning of this show she has an established romantic relationship with ezekiel (although the status of their actual relationship changes frequently throughout the show) and though this was a relationship she was hesitant to pursue, it is clear that she does have romantic feelings for him and if not for them both having growing careers in very different music genres (zeke specifically working in a genre that she repeatedly labels as bad because she thinks they're ruining records + that it isnt real music because they're using someone elses piece and rapping over it, that's not really important here tho lol) they probably wouldve had a much healthier, smooth sailing romance. that being said theres a few things that happen in the show that, while not explicitly clear, or even really good coding at that—to the point where you wont catch if you really arent looking for it (and trust me, I always look for coding, hers was just so little that it flew over my head until I saw someone else mention it)—are still cool to think about!
so, for starters, I wanna mention the toy box performance, which was performed by mylene and regina, who are best friends. that's all cool and shit, and you dont really think much about it...until you hear about the fact that the show runners purposely colored a lot of the scenes in that performance with the bi colors. like. the writers after the show ended basically said "oh yeah there was plans to make her coding more explicit, but our shit got cancelled soooo" and then dropped the fact that she was gonna be bi (or at least implies bi) in the series, which puts a new twist on a few things.
now, besides the bi coloring in the background of the toy box performance (which was mostly on scenes with her and regina, which involved a lot of uh,, lowkey lewd dancing. with each other. in very revealing outfits. wooooo), there's her music! I dont tend to read too much into this one bc, like I said before, her coding is fucking light and the writers themselves said they didnt really get to do much with it, but I think some stuff with her music is interesting. specifically how her, yolanda and regina's song set me free blew up because dizzee, resident (lowkey enby coded) bicon, got their song played in a queer club. also that the song was majorly important to dizzee and started playing literally right as he kissed a boy for the first time and realized "oh shit I like boys that's bonkers". also that the song can be taken in a gay way since literally the entire thing is about becoming your true self, fully and unapologetically, which is what both dizzee and mylene's entire character arcs are about. dizzee (and a lot of other queer people, apparently), heard this song about being set free and it resonated with them so much that they got that shit most of its popularity.
speaking of dizzee and mylene, they parallel each other a lot in the way that their arcs are about them realizing who they are, coming into themselves and no longer just letting people treat them like shit in a sense (dizzee starting to tell people essentially that they can call him weird all they want, they can make fun of how he acts, what he likes, how he dresses, etc. but he likes how he is and quite literally saying "it's okay to be an alien" as he has consistently compared himself to one throughout the show vs mylene learning that if she wants to be a disco singer she needs to put her foot down, not let anyone, not even the love of her life, not even her abusive father, stop her from achieving her dreams, etc. and continuing to pursue her career with or without their support). one more little parallel that I think is interesting is during I think s2 towards the end of the show is when dizzee and thor are shown together having fun with each other, painting all over the building and each other and are basically just being happy and in love together and then they have these clips of them being interspersed with clips of mylene at a party where she is starting to realize that if she wants to get anywhere she needs to be her own main priority and that she needs to put her career and her dream, which is what makes her the happiest, above all else if she wants to succeed. idk I just think how the show made these two into a weird parallel, accidental or not, is neat. maybe not an explicitly queer parallel, but I think at least how her music and whatnot helped dizzee, the main queer character in this show, blossom, is important.
moving on we got shaolin fantastic also known as "oh no your internalized homophobia is showing-"
so, heres a quick list of...interesting shao facts:
Consistently referred to as fag/faggot (shaolin fanfaggot is my personal favorite); he gets really defensive about this despite nobody actually thinking he's queer, it's just people being assholes to be assholes, and he is the only character consistently referred to using a slur, especially a homophobic one, especially for a "straight" character. dizzee, a canonically queer character, is called a fag less than shaolin is even though dizzee actively goes to gay clubs, has a not so secret dude he "hangs out with" and wont let anyone properly meet, paints his nails, wears less than straight clothes even by the 70s standards and is just all around the definition of fucking queer (and I mean like in the weird way, not the gay way). in fact theres only like once I can remember him being called a fag and it had nothing to do with him actually being gay it was literally just like thrown out there the same way you would call someone a bitch.
Has only shown sexual interest in women, yet refuses to have deeper relationships with women in general (possibly because of trauma but who knows) but takes his relationships with his "brothers", specifically zeke, very seriously
Tells zeke and zeke ONLY his real name when zeke was planning to stop being his friend bc shao more or less got boo boo, a like 14 year old black kid, arrested for selling hard drugs; he was clearly scared and trying to do anything to keep zeke around, literally chasing him down the street and hounding him until he got zeke to stop and argue with him
Kept threatening to beat up zeke in the end but couldn't actually bring himself to do so, instead saying that zeke is "fucking lucky" before walking away
Let's zeke get away with things that nobody else can, in general just has a weird soft spot for ezekiel that he shows with nobody else
when shao found dizzee with thor in a vaguely compromising situation (like they were just shirtless covered in paint sleeping next to each other but shao had also seen everything they painted on the walls ((which some of it was sus)), it was clear they had painted on each others bodies and dizzee had been routinely disappearing with this guy for weeks now yet not producing nearly as much art, at least, as far as we audience members know) he didnt judge him but instead, waited for him to get cleaned up and then told him something along the lines of "theres a reason why im so secretive blah blah blah [not everyone needs to know everything about me]", which, in context, kinda implies that he might be a lil. a lil homiesexual. jus a lil.
whenever even the possibility of zeke leaving him comes up he absolutely loses it. he has literally cost ezekiel life changing opportunities because he thought zeke would just up and leave him for them. this could be abandonment issues bc he's a severely traumatized character, and that probably does contribute to it, but it also is just not a reaction he has to any of their other friends just randomly dipping in and out of his life soooooo
generally speaking, this mfer has got either bisexual with a big hard on for zeke coding or homosexual with terrible internalized homophobia and still a hard on for zeke coding. either fucking way, that nigga gay. he gay as hell. gay as fuck man. there wasn't really much to analyze here tbh bc the coding is just so fucking obvious if you look for it or you are/have been a gay person who's dealt with at least a little bit of internalized homophobia.
also, just a sidenote, idk how fucking old shao, but I'm praying hes like at max 19 bc I'm pretty sure zeke is a minor in this show and shao definetly is not so the whole him being heavily implied to have a crush on ezekiel thing is kinda. oof. not oof if zeke is like 17 but any younger than that? OOF.
edit: apparently the characters are only supposed to be a year apart in age but i had no clue about that before writing this post and since shaos age was never actually stated in the show i naturally assumed he was an adult since his actor Looks Like An Adult. this is definetly on me to a certain extent, but i also never saw anything about this when trying to find our their ages so 🤷‍♀️ maybe i just didnt look deep enough, sorry!
now moving on to the main event...marcus dizzee kipling :]
so, first things first, let's talk enby coding bc him being bisexual was already confirmed!
um, to start off, I just wanna say I dont think this enby coding was intentional or even really coding, it's just moreso me being a dizzee kin on main and knowing as a transmasc enby he has very transmasc enby vibes. for example:
cool, gender neutral nickname that everyone calls him
paints nails various different colors
the whole wardrobe is just a transmasc enby heaven...fishnet shirts, jean overalls, jackets and cuffed pants galore, the big colorful pins, etc
gender neutral hairstyle (when I had my fro it was very sexy and made it easy to transition between hyper masc and vaguely fem, which is pog)
comparing himself to/representing himself consistently with an alien character (though this is meant to represent his sexuality, it could also double as a gender thing too, not neccesarily bc of the whole nonbinary alien trope but bc an enby who likes aliens might heavily identify or compare themselves to whatever their idea of an alien is, whether that just be a genderless entity or a motherfucker with fly style and no need to be perceived as anything other Wacky As Hell)
moving on from there, let's talk about how his queerness is presented to us and how, while it may be a really good piece of representation, especially coming from netflix, it still lacks in A Lot of places.
so, let's start with good things!
i personally really like the get down's queer rep with dizzee bc it's (for the most part) nonsexualized and very very soft, about dizzee figuring himself out and realizing there is a place where he fits in, and about two teenagers in the 70s falling in love over their shared passion for street art. it also features an interracial couple where both boys challenge stereotypes both about queer men and men of color, which is epic poggers and very sexy. this piece of rep specifically is very important to me bc I am a queer black person and even tho interracial relationships are mostly normalized now, I've still had people give me shit for primarily dating white people in a town that is...primarily white lol
mm anyways, I can also appreciate how in the get down, dizzee being represented by rumi the alien is not a thing specifically related to gender (as it often is) and instead is about his sexuality and just in general weirdness and how it has led to him being alienated amongst his peers, poc or otherwise. him seeing himself as an alien is not about just his queerness, which is important, it is about him being a queer black man who talks different, acts different, dresses different and is "soft"—he isnt a walking black male stereotype and he wouldnt have been seen as masculine back in the 70s by any stretch of the imagination. this can be relatable to a wide spectrum of queer poc, from queer black men currently who still have to deal with this shit or to people like myself who are afab neurodivergent mixed race enbies that have always been signaled out as weird and alienated for it. dizzee is god rep bc while he has a small part in this show, his parts are very impactful, hard hitting and show queer poc of all ages that they arent alone and that it's okay to "weird", you just need to embrace it because somebody will love you for you, as thor did for dizzee.
that being said theres um. some minor problemas here,,,
namely:
dizzee and thors first kiss
the lack of development this pairing got
the way dizzee was confirmed bisexual off screen, he never said the words himself, just showed interest in both genders
the way dizzee and thor were never even confirmed boyfriends or just fwb so most of the fandom just calls them boyfriends bc Why Not
dizzee was implied fucking DEAD??? AT THE END OF THE SERIES?????? AND THOR WAS IMPLIED ARRESTED?????????????
now, these might have been things that wouldve been fine had the show been given it's full run but it wasnt which is why we are now left with probelms.
so, from the top, let's go over these: dizzee and thor's first (and only "on screen") kiss was one that was shown in a montage of other queer people making over and doing other vaguely romantic/sexual things, one of those things being a whole ass naked titty being mouthed at, but the actual kiss...was just not shown? like they really did just say "yes they kissed <3 you know this from the context clues of it being in a montage with kissing, hickey giving and titty sucking <3 but no we will not show it <3" LIKE HELLO? I SAW A NAKED BOOBIE BUT NOT TWO MEN KISS??? HUH????????
also, dizzee and thor were both fucking high as hell during this bit like this isnt a terrible thing but it's also like sometimes you do shit when you're high that you wouldnt do sober and they just never kissed again on screen so like?? like idk that's not that bad but it does kinda irk me since they deadass got no other on screen intimacy after that unless you including painting on eacher other or sleeping next to each other on a shitty mattress but not touching at all during it bc they were both at opposite ends of the mattress like half way off it
so yeah, that was trash. then we got lack of development, which kinda goes with the "dizzee being a bisexual but he never says it in canon" thing cause like...okay dizzee was already sort of a side character from the get go like he wasnt the mc by any means, but he became way more of a background character as things continued until we basically only saw him for performances or when he was with thor, yet they got no fucking development as a pairing other than "dizzee realize he gay, he like thor, he and thor spend time together and ig probably do some gay stuff but we dont really know bc we only ever see them do graffiti together now" like?? tf am I supposed to do with that shit. answer. quickly. and then theres dizzee not being confirmed bisexual, which is just a running problem with shows literally doing everything to say a character is bi except for having the character just...say they're bi? which would be so easy? like a good way dizzee and thor couldve had some development is by thor teaching dizzee things about the queer community that he didnt even know existed, thor couldve helped him understand what being bi meant and helped him label himself and whatnot but instead we got an off screen confirmation that the writers had bisexual in mind when writing him. which is garbagé.
the whole thor and dizzee never having a confirmed relationship status is also a development problem cause like literally nobody knows if they were just friends who made out, maybe fucked, who knows, or if they were dating bc dizzee does give a love confession but a love confession doesn't mean there is a relationship, especially since thor didn't say he was in love either (as far as I remember, I could be wrong, plus whether or not that really happened or was apart of dizzee literally overdosing during a performance is unclear so 🤪)
and now for the biggest issue...bury your gays trope.
during the season 2 finale, dizzee and thor are chased by cops after they are found doing graffiti, one of the cops is able to catch thor while the other chases dizzee into a train tunnel and there is a train seen headed straight for him before the show cuts to black on a train horn. the show writers claim that if they had gotten another season, dizzee wouldve been alive but since they didnt and since that's essentially super fan trivia knowledge, most people dont fucking know that and instead had to watch a black queer teenager chose death over being fucking arrested by a white cop. on top of that, thor didnt see any of that shit because he was caught and the cop started hauling him off while dizzee was still being chased so thor literally has no clue where his friend/possible boyfriend fucking is or that he's likely dead in a goddamn tunnel all alone, unless you count the fucking pig that chased him in there who wouldve died too. this shows rep was so fucking good as far as most shows go on not having major fucking problems, on not being toxic and over sexualized, etc, etc. and then they just. killed a black queer teenager for no fucking reason. like it was literally the last episode ever, it would add nothing to the plot, it would just devastate fans and devastate it fucking did. I dont cry easy but seeing a character I identified with, who I had hyperfixated on, die because he'd rather that than be arrested is terrible. it fucking sucked.
so yeah. that's my all too extensive thoughts/analysis on the get down's queerness. theres definitely stuff I missed, or misinterpreted, or looked too much into, etc, etc., but this was a fun thing to spend time writing sooo yeah!! thanks for the ask anon, sorry this was just a big rambley info dump, but hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it since it took like 3 hours at least 😭😭 feel free to ask clarifying questions lol

RYAN: *it's time to face the music... she said she'd talk to russet later, so here she is, later, dropping in at russet's place unannounced. maybe because she hopes she'll miss her to avoid doing this just a LITTLE bit longer... but ultimately she does want to, she's just scared. taking in a deep breath, she knocks on her sister's door.*
RUSSET: *No such luck Ryan, she happened to be home in her small little town house on her day off. She had been sipping tea and looking over her outline plan suggestions for the next Odimist fund raiser when she heard the knocking at her door. Mmm, it could be a few people really, but Russet had a bit of a hunch as she gets up from her table and goes to open the door.*
RUSSET: Oh hey =8I *She looks Ryan up and down.*
RYAN: hellooo... *says a little meekly and sheepishly* you busy?
RUSSET: Not really *She hesitates a moment before stepping aside.*
RUSSET: You wanna come in?
RYAN: yeah. *nods before she slowly starts to amble inside, looking around at the interior with interest and awe. russet must be doing well for herself...*
RYAN: i just wanted to... you know.
RYAN: follow up on what i said id do.
RYAN: and talk about... everything?
RUSSET: *Her etsy shop does do well to help fill out her bank account after her usual paychecks. Who knew so many people would want fridge cozies? The main room is rather minimalistic in design style, but just so you know her bathroom is space/galaxy themed.* Mm. Thats cool.
RUSSET: *Shuts the door behind the both of them.* I can reheat tea if you want any.
RYAN: yeah okay i could go for some tea i guess. *despite feeling antsy, she plops herself down on a couch or chair just so she's not standing around.*
RYAN: ... i like your place.
RUSSET: Thanks. *The couch is covered with pink and gray colored thick cableknit blankets, very soft and comfy. Russet briefly vanishes into the next room and a few minutes later she returns with two mugs, one being hers reheated, and another fresh cup for Ryan.*
RUSSET: *She wordlessly sets the mug in front of Ryan and then takes her on seat on the soft swivil chair to the right.*
RYAN: *by the time russet comes back, ryan is completely consumed by this fluffy cozy couch. but she can still reach out to grab her drink.* thaaanks...
RYAN: ...
RYAN: im not... super sure where to... start...
RUSSET: *She sighs over the top of her mug.* I guess I can start. Probably should say sorry for how I was being at the party. Wasn't really the place to hash this out anyways.
RYAN: *shrugs* i mean... its not unwarranted.
RYAN: i know it had to suck seeing me there before anything else.
RYAN: like not to throw a pity party for myself or nothing but i was just really stressed out about coming back.
RYAN: i thought if i just showed up at shindig itd be easier somehow? i guess i didnt expect to see you and finn AND jack all at the same time. the only thing that woulda made it more overwhelming was if dorian was there too. *wilts thinking about dorian... she really made an ass out of herself around him ages ago, and now he's nowhere to be found.*
RUSSET: *She too droops her shoulders at the mentions of Dorian. Why is their whole family troubled with disapearences?* Yeah well. You probably could have thought that through better yeah.
RUSSET: *Sips tea.* ...You said you're staying with dad?
RYAN: *nods slowly* yeah... i dont really know where else to go.
RUSSET: Im sure hes happy to have you around.
RYAN: ... i think hes still pissed at me. *sips also and keeps her mug close to her chest*
RUSSET: Well duh. A lot of people are gonna' be pissed. But even if he's mad hes got to be happy you're back home and safe and not gone with the wind.
RUSSET: Unless you plan to run away again. Not sure how well that might go over. *Sips at her.*
RYAN: *stares down at her mug* no...
RYAN: theres no point in me trying to leave again.
RYAN: there was no point to begin with.
RYAN: it was stupid...
RUSSET: Yeah. It was.
RUSSET: But you still did it.
RYAN: ... im sorry.
RUSSET: *She looks down into her cup, pulling her legs up into the chair with her so she can sit cross legged, and goes silent for several moments.* .............
RUSSET: Why did you do it?
RUSSET: Why did you run away again?
RYAN: i dont know i-- *draws in a sharp breath*
RYAN: it was so long ago now i barely even remember what was going through my head.
RYAN: of course i might remember it better if i hadnt completely fucking fried my brain lmao.
RYAN: *huffs another sigh* i just know i was like... overwhelmed...
RYAN: between jack and me... and with all my bullshit.
RYAN: i just know i wanted to hide from it.
RUSSET: *She listens, and tries to find ways to sympathize with Ryan. Her little sister did have a few problems, and Russet could wrap her mind around feeling overwhelmed by stuff, but running away for years? That was too much.*
RUSSET: You know there are other ways you could have handled it. Without ditching all of us.
RYAN: *eyes start watering. no... she's wearing mascara, she can't have this.* i know that... i know that /now./
RUSSET: *heavens not the mascara. See this is why Russet likes her circle shades, they do well to hide too much emotion.*
RUSSET: I guess at least you learned that much. *Produces a napkin and holds it out to Ryan.*
RYAN: *takes it* ... yeah. *she learned plenty more than that, but she doesn't want to make it seem like she's fishing for sympathy. she doesn't deserve that. she just tries to think of ways to update russet without it coming off that way.*
RYAN: i got into a lot of shit.
RYAN: i made a lot of mistakes.
RYAN: i had to go to rehab. *shrugs*
RYAN: thats why i came back.
RUSSET: Wait... What?? *Sits up more in her chair, frowning pretty harshly.*
RUSSET: Rehab?
RYAN: ... yeah. *dabs at her eyes with the napkin* i got really fucked up and this girl i was seeing made me go.
RYAN: and then she you know broke up with me.
RYAN: but again i dont blame her.
RUSSET: Thats...
RUSSET: Mm. Wow. Sorry I'm trying to like.
RUSSET: Form the right words to respond to that.
RUSSET: ......Thats rough, Ryan.
RUSSET: *Nailed it.*
RYAN: *shrugs* you dont have to say anything its fine. it is what it is.
RUSSET: Yeaaahhh but its still shitty. I mean, I'm mad at you but still thats difficult to go through.
RUSSET: Does your mom know?
RYAN: *nods slowly* yeah... i told her and dad first.
RUSSET: Thats good. I'm glad you told them.
RYAN: kinda have to tell people. you know... to reconcile and all that?? its all part of the program.
RYAN: but i want to anyway.
RUSSET: Oh. Well thats better then just coming back to complete the program.
RUSSET: .......I'm glad youre back. Even if it doesn't seem like it.
RYAN: *hearing that makes her eyes water more and her voice squeaks a little when she speaks* cool. yeah...
RYAN: im glad im back too.
RYAN: and i really...
RYAN: i really am... really sorry.
RUSSET: *Ryan you better not start crying, gdi. Russet is too much of a bleeding heart for this.* Thanks. I believe it.
RUSSET: I um... I dont know how long I'm going to be mad at you about this. I forgive you but also dont at the same time its really confusing. And its hard not to still feel hurt because until now I didn't have any idea why you ran away, and I didn't get to think about it too much because I felt like I had to pick up the pieces of everyone else, so I'm kind of bitter? *Says it like a question, shes figuring it out as she goes and just holds her mug closer to herself to feed off the warmth.*
RUSSET: I want us to be okay again, eventually. Because I thought we were getting to some sort of level of okay with each other until you ran off.
RYAN: yeah... i know i fucked it all up. *she's crying, she can't stop it now. she's bottled it up too long, and if there's one person she really feels guilty about, it's russet, for all the reasons she just mentioned.*
RYAN: i wanted things to get better... i was just--
RYAN: fuck...
RYAN: im just so sorry. i dont wanna be dumb or petty or awkward anymore.
RYAN: i missed you... i missed you nagging at me and i missed your cute little craft things and all your motherly lil habits.
RYAN: i didnt realize how much i needed people like that in my life to keep me grounded.
RUSSET: *Well heck. Shes turning a little orange now, a combination about Ryan saying all these nice things about her meddling, and then there is the whole choking back emotion because if Ryan is crying shes NOT going to cry. Because if they both start bawling it will never stop she knows it.*
RUSSET: Well shit. =B'I
RYAN: *wheezes out a watery laugh at that response.* i know... damn... really unexpected hearing ryan get all sappy.
RUSSET: *Nods and sniffles just a little.* It is. I think someone might have to pinch me to make sure this is real.
RYAN: would... a hug work?
RUSSET: *She thinks about it and then places her mug on the glass coffee table before opening her arms wide.*
RUSSET: Yes. =B''T
RYAN: *HHH she puts her mug down as well, wiggling out of this couch and then shuffling over to fit into her big sister's arms.*
RUSSET: *Wraps her arms around Ryan and gives her a big squeeze. This hug is pouring in the warmth and love of all the hugs she hasnt been able to give Ryan in years. Enjoy Russet's watery, emotional, bug chirps in your ear because its too much!!.*
RYAN: *the chirps are a comfort and she responds with more soft giggles. she sighs, relaxing into the hug and letting the warmth comfort her and convince her that things might finally start to be alright...*
RYAN: is it okay if i hang out here for a lil while...?
RUSSET: *She nods into Ryan's shoulder.* Mhm. I'm not doing anything today.
RYAN: okay cool cuz im gonna impose like hell for as long as i can get away with it. *pulls away, smiling softly as she flops back onto the couch*
RUSSET: *When she and Ryan part Russet breifly sneaks a finger under her glasses to wipe at her misty eyes.* Fine by me. But you shouldnt stay too long past dark unless you are getting a ride somewhere.
RYAN: *she's gotta dab at her eyes some more too...* yeah okay that can be arranged. *AND SO she gets settled in, drinking tea and catching up on some of the more positive things that have happened.*
