[bogor-o]

Bogor, beautiful amazing Bogor,

Your art and your lamb, mother, has me in a vice grip. It has changed my mind in ways I didn't know were possible, and has made me happy and cry often (sometimes at the same time)

I'm new to Tumblr and your au remains in my mind as such an interesting one, the way you portray the lamb's struggle and the crown's influence is just masterful

That being said,

PLEASE

Can mother be happy one day? She deserves some happiness. Pretty please?

not that I don't enjoy a bit of angst mind you, and by God do you write it well

Also what was your inspiration behind this idea? Any other fiction similar to it you drew from, was it personal experience (obviously don't feel obliged to go into that) or was it just creative whimsy.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, you're a gem

Hope you're well, have a good day!

IHRGORETR YOU ARE SO KIND THANK U!!! i losing it heroige

I PROMMY SHE GETS SOME BIT OF HAPPINESS i cant prommy a perfect happy ending bc WELL its a rollercoaster for them foreverrrr but eventually it becomes nicer-ish

initially getting back into playing cotl i played an older file and realized how much i didnt like my followers dying and so they were basically like all my kids and then its like "wow making a cult around a matriarch would be really easy" and then i made a new file and it snowballed from there!

Mother as a character and their story is still developing as i go because im having fun letting it kind of go loose a little, but a lot of my inspo to an extent comes from experience of depersonalization and dissociation and idk if that comes through in what ive made so far but its very cathartic! my other inspos i cant quite grab but theyre like at the tip of my tongue because i definitely grab from a lot of media i consume so if something feels familiar it might not be a coincidence!

[johnnyutah]

i love the main character of that classic christmas movie. you know, the movie that’s really sad like a REAL tearjerker, but still an overall positive movie with a happy ending. yeah the one where the main character is really talented and brilliant and creative, but above all AMBITIOUS. and they want more than anything to travel the world, with grand dreams of visiting distant countries and a dedicated scheme to make it happen. they don’t care about the norms of society, and they DEFINITELY don’t care about being in a relationship.

they meet an amazing person who falls instantly in love with them when they’re still very young, and the person grows up alongside them into a beautiful adult who is Still in love with them, but even though they love spending time with their old friend the idea of romance is always out of their head. only when they’re older will they realize their preference for women. and eventually when they’re all grown they will settle down into a perfect marriage— but THEIR greatest wish, to travel the world, will go unfulfilled forever.

one consistent trend through their life is that every time they try to escape it to follow their dreams, desperate to go to college and to see other countries around the world, something pushes them back down. it’s their family who need them, and that same family that then contains them, and poverty knocking at the door, and the safety and health of their family coming above all else. they’re a great unsung hero, desperate to live an amazing story but trapped within the story they exist in, and the time period, and their own circumstances, and at times the town itself dragging them back in to stay.

they have a younger sibling who fell through the ice when they were little and nearly died. through their life they watch this sibling prosper, and transform into the exact person our main character dreams of being. and all they can do is rejoice for their siblings, and for their friends who accomplish their dreams, and for everyone else who got to go to college and leave behind a legacy and was free.

they’re beloved with high aspirations that are tragically never reached. and theyre beautifully humble because they can never see the person they are to their story. and they make me cry every time i’m feeling masochistic enough to put their movie on for a nice holiday watch.

Lego Date | Milo Manheim

———————————————-

I pull the last bit of my hair into a loose bun, glancing at the mirror. Comfortable but cute. Tonight, my best friend, Milo, and I will be having a lego building date, so I know I shouldn't overdo it on my outfit.

We have been best friends for a while and always hang out when he is not away shooting a movie or something. I had been telling him about my office job trouble and how I have been under a lot of stress, so he planned a chill and relaxing evening for us. He has always been so caring and loving towards me. His personality is really the only reason why I fell in love with him. I haven't told him because I do not want to ruin our friendship.

Before I can lose myself in another thought spiral, my phone buzzes on the counter.

His name lights up the screen, and I can’t help but smile.

"Hey cutie, you on your way?" He asks excitedly.

"Just finished getting ready," I say laughingly, grabbing my keys. "I’ll be there in about 20 minutes, boo."

"Perfect. See you soon!"

He hangs up before I can ask what the surprise is he’s been hinting about all week. A little thrill runs through me as I imagine what it could be.

I grab my jacket and head out the door, the flutter in my chest turning into something warmer. Something hopeful.

Once I arrived at his place, I knocked the door. He almost instantly opened it like he had been waiting near it.

“Y/N! Hi” He says happily. He looked so handsome, yet it was only gray sweats and a Green Day T Shirt.

“Hey Milo. How are you?”

“I feel great now that my bestie is here. Come follow me. I have a surprise for you.”

He grabbed my hand, which made me feel like I had butterflies in my stomach. He led me to his living room. Right in the middle of the room was his living room table covered in a white cloth with 2 lego set boxes, our favorite snacks, and drinks.

“Aww Milo. This is a cute set up”

“Good because it is all for you. I know you told how stressed you have been from work. I figured this is the most I can do for my best friend.”

“You are amazing, Milo. Thank you.” I said as I hugged him. He hugged me and kissed the top of my head.

“Okay. So, I got you a LEGO Heart Ornament because you mentioned to me how you wanted this before.”

“Yes I did! I cant believe you remember that from months ago. What are you going to build?”

“I picked a bouquet of roses. I figured I could use them for decor or something else.”

“Well theyre going to look beautiful.”

Milo and I sat on the floor, opened our boxes and started to build. We began to talk about what has been going on in our lives while we were apart. He was talking about his upcoming Zombies 4 movie and how excited he was to watch it together when it officially comes out. I was just telling him about my work drama, which he seemed invested.

“Done! Look how beautiful my heart ornament looks.”

“Not as beautiful as you.” he said and winked at me. “Anyays, I am done with my roses, too. I think I may actually have a small vase for these. Let me go check.”

Milo left and came back within minutes. Although, when he retuned he in fact did have a vase, but laso brought another box.

“What’s in there?” I asked curiously.

Milo sat on the floor again, put the LEGO flowers in a vase and placed it in the living room table next to me. He then sets down a LEGO message board next to the roses, but the back of the board is facing away from me.

Before I can say anything, he grabs both of my hands and looks into my eyes.

“Y/N. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I knew you were different. You aren’t like other girls. You’re kind and caring. You are probably the only person in the world who knows me so well. I have loved you since I met you, but for the sake of our friendship I remained quiet so I wouldn’t lose you. Every time I have to go, you are alaways in my head thinking about coming home to you. I cannot contain my feelings any longer.” He paused and turned the message board around and it read ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’.

I lightly gasped as I was in shock. His beautiful brown eyes looking straight into mine waiting for me to answer. He flashed me a hopeful smile.

I smiled and said , “Yes! You have no idea how long I been waiting to hear you say that.”

He moved one of his hands to my cheek. He leaned in slowly and we kissed. His lips felt soft. When we kissed it felt like the 4th of July. It was magical. All we knew from that moment on was that he was mine and I was his. There was no other care in the world.

Note: I have not written fan fiction in forever! Last time was 2016 😩 please let me know what you think

[haveihitanerve]

so um

sometimes when i watch tff vids i write commentary in my notes. and i stumbled across this little gem a second ago and thought i might share my crazed thoughts

Bro i just love seeing curt dancing and singing the songs in the background because he fucking wrote them and has heard roland sing them so many times now its their songs and i just love it and then when he steps up and they sing together…. Omg. their voices are so perfect for each other. Platonic soulmates. Meant to be. Their voices. Mwah. *chefs kiss*

AWWWWWW and that moment they played to each other OMG SO CUTE

AHHHH in everybody wants to ulr the world curt starts walking towards roland, ro,land looks at him, they grin, and curt slowly starts walking backwards away from him again. AHHH its too cute

Aw. but only curt did the slight fist pump. Roland moved his arm but only to play the guitar

OMG OMG THEY SANG SECRET WORLD??????? I DON'T REMEMEBER THAT BUT FUCK YEAH

Its 100% a him and curt song, look at how he looked at curt at that one part!!!!!!

LOOK AT HOW THEYRE GRINNING WHILE SINGING THIS SONG. BOTH OF THEM HAVE EAR TO EAR GRINS!!!!!!!!!

Ooh and roland tried to walk to curt but he wasn't paying attention. Oof

DAMN he can still hit those high notes!!! Whew. 

‘Primarily because its the nearest venue to my house’ gods i love their dry humor. Roland did it too.

Also i love that roland said ‘my house is ten minutes away’ and curt also said ‘close to my house’ are they talking about the same house? Are they neighbors? Is it really curts house and roland just considers it his? Like whats going on? Id like some answers pls

‘for those of you that can do math. Or maths as we call it in england’ like the dryness is unmatched

I really hate to say this, but curt cannot hear himself right now. At the beginning, then he gets it. They really ought to work on that.

Also rolands low bass mixing with his is beautiful. I know i say it a lot but hot damn

AWWW and i love how everyone knew immediately to pull out their cameras at the right song. So they all know the album. I love that for tff.

And yes they do sound amazing random lady who imma call stacy in the crowd

AND FUCK THE BLENDING OF THE VOICES AGAIN

Drop me in the infinite sea. -curt is a water sign….. Just saying -

Oop i remember this part of the concert- ‘our songs are more famous than we are’ ‘visa with special talent. I cant tell you what that talent is’ ‘and he says, ‘who?’’ also whoever that dude in the crowd is who yelled ‘he sucked’ aimed at the tsa agent, i agree ‘Young kids with funny haircuts’ 

OMG OMG OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY HAVE THE ORGINAL VID OF ROLAND DANCING PLAYING IN THE VDIEO BEHIND THEM IN MAD WORLD 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

hrm. like i support the girl and all, but i dont think she should get the rights to sing suffer the children.

The new girl for oleta adams can sing tho. The other girl can too. She just shouldn't sing suffer the chilrden. My opnion at least

‘How do you follow that?’ ‘that was track one’ ‘probably best to follow it with trac two’ 

I cant with you roland

OOOOOH i love curts dancing for badmans song. And his mouthing of the words

And the way roland keeps checking on curt. Damn bro. Checking up on bae be like

AWWWW THEYRE DOING IT!!!!! CHECKING UP ON BAE

And fuck you roland. Curts looking at his hands and roland is just watching him, his fingers effortlessly moving across the frets. SMH. i wish i had that talents.

ND ROLANDS FACE AT THE END. LIKE 'hm good job'. And curt just fucking grins at him

OOOOOOOH FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE FUCKING DID IT!!!! HE STILL GOT IT!!!!!! 

[maybege]

heloooo ❤️ first of all I wanna say I rlly adore all ur work! nd also this is the first time im sending an ask so im srry if its weird. for the love letter to creators, ur one of my favourite writers but here r some other creators ive been loving lately. they're all so talented, i think everyone should check them out especially if u like aaron hotchner from criminal minds.

@ssahotchnerr katie 💛💛💛 im absolutely addicted to ur hotchner. the way u write him is just perfect. ur work is one of the first i read for cm nd tbh ur the whole reason i love hotch as much as i do. ur fics r the y i started watching criminal minds. i was going through a rlly rough time nd ur fics have helped me through a lot. ur my comfort writer, i always turn to ur work if im feeling down. u introduced a rlly beautiful thing into my life (hotch), i dont know where id have been these last couple months w/o this nd I'll forever be grateful to u. everyone needs to read ur fragile love series (abt hotch, ofc), its so good, it makes me sob every time.

@hotchs-babygirl zeina 💙💙💙 ur a newer writer in the criminal minds/hotchner fandom (nd in general too i think) but u became one of my all time favs as soon as i read outside clothes. i rlly like the way u write, u inspired me to try writing myself. maybe this is a bit weird but i love the way u write the reader in all ur fics. theyre always so funny, plus ur writting style has a very dry humour which i like. ur fics r always so creative too nd i was surprised by ur latest one bc it seemed a lot more different but it turned out to be soooooo good, i loved how protective hotch was nd i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, i def recommend u to all hotchgirls.

@luveline jade 🩷🩷🩷 ur writing is amazing, u have this v distinct nd calming writing style, ur rlly talented. i began following u for ur criminal minds content but ive read almost all ur work even though im not part of most of ur fandoms. i didnt even know who eddie munson was at first but im totally obsessed with all ur fics abt him. reading abt him nd roan always makes my day. tbh i think ppl need to read ur work even if theyre not in ur fandom. also u seem like such a genuinely lovely person nd i love reading ur responses to all ur asks.

i just want u all (may included) to know that i rlly appreciate all of u and all ur hard work 😘 i wish u all the very best nd i look forward to all ur new fics!!

A love letter to these lovely people!

OH this is GOOD good

Songs like this as well, heavenly vocals with the soft raps are a weakness, honestly

This song is so fucking beautiful. God I love it

I will never shut up about the vocals this group possesses. I'm always just as amazed as I was the first time.

Social Path(Feat. LiSA) (Korean Ver.) thoughts:

I honestly wasn't expecting a Korean version of this song, but I am so glad that we have it

For fuck sake, all the guides for their Japanese songs are in Korean, so it's truly always just a matter of time

I LOVE HER SO FUCKING MUCH. I REALLY DO SHE DID SO WELL

In all honesty, I've spent a lot of time crying to this song, so it always hits me

Even LiSA's voice meshes well with their voices?? I'm amazed.

Final thoughts:

As per USUAL I fucking love this album.

It's so good and I will be listening to nothing but this for the next month and a half MINIMUM, as I always do.

I'm so proud of my eight, I really am. I'm so happy to be supporting such an amazing group of men and there is truly no where I'd rather be.

The LALALALA music video, and the S-Class music video are, without question, their best music videos. I cannot get enough of them.

I LOVE how with every comeback, they just continue to prove that there is truly no genre or concept that they can't do and pull off like they invented it. I have NEVER seen such a versatile group and they just continue to amaze me every time.

[drowsystarlight]

Finale thoughts:

Girl………… Finale……… Its literally named finale……… Im going to cry im not ready

But here we go

THEY’RE REFERENCING WELCOME TO ABEL AND AVITD IN THE PIANO

OPHHHHH

OMGGGGGGGG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Not the dead people ensemble

SCREAMS

OH CHRIS AND VERONICA’S PART !!! BOP !!!

“All runners except sara” the specification when its HER SONG,,,,,,,,,, ouch. Brutal

RAISE THE GATES AND COVER FIRE

Oh amelia wow always so cunty

NOT THE COME BACK HOME !!!!!! OMG !!!! GFS REUNITED !!!!!!! YES !!!!!

LMFAO??

My choice is they kiss. Fuck you guys. Theyre kissing after all that. Wow s3 is really the canon “yeah sam and five are dating if you’re into them as a ship” season LMFAOOOOO

Janine and Simon singing good morning to the apocalypse together is doing things to me

SAM AND FIVE SINGING JUST FOLLOW THE LIGHT ON THE RADIO TOWER AND YOU’RE HOME!??!!?!? OH GOD I LOVE THAT SO MUCH . I love it so so much . Oh my god . That is perfect .

Now my life feels empty . It is done . It was such a good trip and i love this so much . This post is the final reblog, I hope anon had fun watching me go mental for 2 hours straight ???? LMFAO

Final thoughts:

This is so much better than act 1 ??? In a way it feels like the quality improved as well, just like the difference in zrs1 quality to zrs2 and zrs3!!! Plus i dont know what happened but this feels like theyre all together in the same room . Act 1 had moments that did Not have that (but it was still beautiful nonetheless !!!!!)

I can say for sure my favorites are I’ll Always Bring You Home, Seeing Things, Entr’acte, Don’t Go Far, Stardust, Mercenary Manifesto, and the Finale!!! @zombiesrunmusical you guys did AMAZING with this!!!! Thank you I shall keep soundcloud app in my phone forever now just to listen to this religiously mwah

just saw you finished s3

pls liveblog your act ii listening experience, we are all begging you

Cracks knuckles

LIVE REACTION POST FOR ZOMBIES RUN: THE MUSICAL!!!

The fandom had fun watching me lose my shit over season three (specifically looking at you mind control arc. Fuck you. Personally.) and anon here wants to witness me lose my shit again, as I re-experience season three via Act 2 of the musical, so why not !!! I had fun even if it was EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL and the fandom elders nodding their heads collectively was fucking hilarious to me so fuck it, here we go !!! Zrs3 spoiler tag and zrtm spoiler tag will be included in each reblog !!!

Before I start though, I should note that I am a very impatient kid and already listened to Entr’acte and Come Back Home as soon as I started S3. My current favorite right now is Entr’acte bc it’s CUTE OKAY and Ik i listened to it once and was singing-humming the thing to myself all the time,,,,, it’s just so cute,,,,, what a fun song,,,,,, surely s3 would be as fun and cheery right,,,,,, hhahahahahah (not)

Also, this specific fucking bit????????

CRIMINAL OFFENSE. JAIL TIME. Shit still hurts and now I’m about to listen to it again KNOWING WHAT HAPPENS so now I’m also aware of possible foreshadowing…….. actually i think I already know where this specific passage will beat my ass later in the musical,,,,,,,, just a hunch just a feeling,,,,,, (uncontrollable sobbing)

valentines day dinner with homemade foods and candles and cute gifts with steddie!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

okay so we all know steve is a bleeding heart romantic at his core, but his execution of it is a little less than lol so he would plan this really sweet day for Eddie for Valentines day!

He would go to the store to get all the ingredients to make homemade pizza. everyone loves pizza right? well hes gonna make it by hand. he also picks up a six pack of beer, obviously. as hes heading to the register to check out, he passes by a notebook. its a pretty cool notebook with a dragon engraved on the hard cover and its red and black and it just screams Eddie so he picks it up and then he passes by the cereal aisle and gets him some honeycombs. so now that hes got all the stuff he needs for the date, he gets home and gets to work.

Eddie didnt know what to expect when Steve told him to come over around 6 today, he knows its Valentines day but hes never been in a serious relationship before and so he doesnt really know what Steve has planned. Should Eddie get something for Steve? Should he ask him to be his valentine? theyre boyfriends so it should be obvious that theyre each others valentines right? Eddie starts to spiral a little and heads to the store to get some chocolates and a bouquet of flowers.

Eddie shows up at Steves door with his long curly hair pulled into a messy bun at the nape of his neck, wearing a little bit of eyeliner, a worn out band tee and his signature black jeans with some holes here and there. He knocks on the door with the hand holding the chocolates and cant help but break into a huge smile when the door opens and Steve is standing there in his yellow sweater with his light blue jeans on, his floofy brown hair styled up to perfection. “Happy Valentines Day, Sweetheart.” Eddie says holding out the chocolate and flowers. A beautiful blush creeps up Steves neck as he steps aside for Eddie to come in and pass off the gifts.

“I love the flowers, Ed. They’re actually perfect, I needed a centerpiece!” Steve says a little shyly. Now Eddie was intrigued. Steve seemed shy and needed a centerpiece? What did he plan? He followed Steve into the dining room and watched him place the flowers in a vase he pulled out of the cupboard. He watched Steve walk over to the table to place the flowers down and thats when he noticed what all Steve had done. There was dim lighting in the dining room, all coming from different scented and shaped candles sitting on almost every available surface, with rose petals sprinkled around the table and on top of the table. Eddie even noticed a trail of them coming from the doorway they just walked through. “Stevie.” Eddie breathed, a little flustered.

“Instead of ordering out like we usually do, I thought I could do something a little different and make us homemade pizzas, baked with love. and beer of course” Steve stood there proudly, knowing how adorable Eddie thought this was and also knowing that absolutely crushed this holiday. Eddie cheeks were a lovely shade of pink now and he was smiling widely at Steve. He dramatically grabbed at his heart and gasped. “Oh my knight in shining armor, Ser Steve! What a lovely surprise”

Steve blushed at that. “I also got you something else, I dont really know if you’ll like it or whatever but i saw it and it made me think of you so..” He trailed off, bringing a wrapped present out from behind his back.

Eddie made grabby hands for the package and tore into it excitedly. He stopped when he saw the notebook.

“I thought maybe you could use this to plan out your DnD adventures and stuff. Like jot down little notes, I dont know but i saw it and thought of you”

“Oh Stevie, this is the best. You’re so amazing. I’ve never been treated like this before.” Eddie wasnt being dramatic this time, he pulled Steve into a hug and kissed him passionately on the lips before moving onto kiss his forehead and cheeks and chin and basically anywhere he could get his lips. “You totally crushed this holiday, big boy.”

“I’m a romantic.” Steve giggled.

could i request a charlie dalton x male reader where the reader doesnt know about the dead poets society, but bakes a lot, and follows charlie to give him something sweet and ends up finding out about them? maybe theyre already dating but nobody knows and the other poets find out bc of this? thank you so much!

Baker (Charlie Dalton x male!Reader)

It was an unusual yet a loving pairing, Charlie Dalton and (Y/n) (L/n). They were practically polar opposites in every way possible.

(Y/n) (L/n) loves to bake, usually bakes when he is stressed out or when he is excited. Contrary to the rest of the Welton population, (Y/n)'s parents actually supported this dream. He had amazing marks and could get into an amazing culinary school if be so desired to.

Charlie Dalton was the opposite in the sense that he had no care in world and no plan. His father wanted him to be a banker and so he will be one. He had no say in anything about his life, nor did he have a say in who he'll date.

(Y/n) and Charlie met one Saturday morning, it was sunny and warm not the usual Vermont weather but beautiful nonetheless.

(Y/n), with the permission of Mr. Nolan, would cook breakfast every first Saturday of the month. Which he took extremely serious and would go all out for the staff and the students who got really amazing food.

Everyone always looked forward to the first Saturday specifically because of this. Charlie Dalton got a little too excited that Saturday that his mind and body woke him up a tad bit earlier then planned.

He had no choice but begin to get ready for breakfast. He wore casual wear as it was Saturday and the Professors weren't going to yell at him for being out of uniform. He made sure he was loud enough to at least disturb a sleeping Cameron.

He walked out and towards the Dinning Hall where he'd wait. That's when he saw a very handsome (Y/n). He was standing outside the door with a grin on his face. (Y/n) looked up and noticed Charlie Dalton walking up to the breakfast.

"Early bird always catches the bird!" (Y/n) enthusiastically cheered smiling at Charlie Dalton who chuckled.

"I'm not a usual early riser, just wanted to be first in line for (Y/n)'s famous breakfast," Charlie winked.

"I'm flattered, Breakfast isn't till 8am, it's 6am?" (Y/n) questioned slightly laughing.

"Was a bit too excited, are you done making the food?" Charlie asked.

"I'm done with the three cakes, the sweet bread and the croissants," (Y/n) began. "I'm still making the eggs, the famous small burgers, and just about to make orange juice for over a hundred people!"

"You must really love this to do it unpaid," Charlie laughed.

"Baking os my favorite art, getting the chance to serve everyone and put a smile on their faces is beyond rewarding. That and this is perfect practice for me," (Y/n) shrugged smiling.

Since that day (Y/n) and Charlie became unusual friends. (Y/n) helped Charlie with homework and sometimes even let Charlie help out with the giant breakfast.

In exchange Charlie helped (Y/n) with being more sociable and soccer which (Y/n) isn't proud of saying he wasn't very good at. Charlie was far more athletic and better at talking to others.

(Y/n) slowly discovered feelings he had never felt before. He was unsure if they were always there of if Charlie changed something in him to help him realize said feelings. (Y/n) never thought about dating or having a for life companion. He thought the whole forever partner would come to him later in life.

Charlie Dalton also began to develop more than friendly feelings for (Y/n). He always knew he liked both girls, boys, and everyone in between. He knew of this but was afraid to confront the feelings. He thought it would ruin any friendship he had with anyone.

(Y/n) and Charlie were out by a lake together dipping their feet in the cold water laughing with each other.

At that very moment nothing else mattered, not the school, not the professors, not the world. It was just them two, and that was the only thing on Charlie's head.

(Y/n) was a few inches taller than Charlie which on one hand made Charlie fall more in love with him and on the other hand made him extremely jealous.

"Why are you so tall?" Charlie laughed.

"My dad's really tall, my moms a tad shorter then him," (Y/n) shrugged laughing.

Charlie smiled as he stared into (Y/n)'s eyes, (Y/n) did the same as he looked into Charlies dark brown eyes.

(Y/n) and Charlie couldn't help but lean in as their lips soon meet. It was a beautiful and long kiss as their lips synchronized with each other. Charlie rested his hand on (Y/n)'s cheek in an endearing way.

(Y/n) pulled away resting his forehead on Charlie's. They were smiling at each other as they stood in silence.

"I have never felt this way about anybody else Charlie Dalton," (Y/n) began. "But with you I feel free, I feel new."

"I feel the same way (Y/n) I adore you and hold you so dearly to my heart, as cheesy as it sounds," Charlie chuckled.

"Does this mean we are boyfriends?" (Y/n) smiled his forehead still on Charlie's.

"Yeah, but can we keep it on the low for now? You know how they treat us gay people," Charlie sighed sadly pulling away and sadly staring at the ground.

"It's okay, I was thinking the same. I don't want you getting hurt so we'll keep it a secret until the world is ready," he replied caressing Charlie's cheek and bringing him in for another kiss.

In secret they did everything, from dates far from the school, to their birthday celebration. They passed notes to each other in class and sometimes would sneak a kiss. They were sad that their relationship had to be kept quiet but at the end it was the best for them and their safety.

It was a year as they were now officially Juniors, a new student began to go to Welton. A so called Todd Anderson, Jeffery Anderson's younger brother. Charlie and his friend group befriended him which automatically meant that Todd is (Y/n)'s friend too.

Their one year anniversary was coming up as (Y/n) planned a small celebration. He spent some time baking Charlie's favorite cake and foods. They'll celebrate their anniversary near the lake in the evening, the right time in (Y/n)'s opinion.

The time arrived as (Y/n) began to bring the stuff out, of course he intended it to be a surprise. But he was more surprised seeing Charlie walk into the woods by himself. With a raised eyebrow he began to jog to him. But this seemed to make Charlie run, (Y/n) was unsure if he knew that he was behind him.

"Charlie?" (Y/n) called out. "Charlie! Babe? What are you-" He was cut off the second he saw the cave he saw Charlie enter full of Charlie's friends.

"(Y/n)?" Charlie mumbled seeing the surprise look in his friends face.

"Wrong person?" (Y/n) quickly said as he walked away from the cave but before he could Charlie stopped him.

"I think it's time that we at least tell my friends," Charlie whispered with a smile.

"Are you sure?" (Y/n) mumbled back as Charlie only nodded.

"You guys, I have to say something," Charlie took in a deep breath as he looked at his friends confused face. "As most of you know, I am bisexual. Or at least Neil knew, and (Y/n) is my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? So you two are gay?" Knox asked, "Cool."

"Yeah, why were you so worried? Aren't we in a secret poetry society?" Meeks laughed.

"Congrats, we are so happy for you," Todd who is usually quiet said smiling.

"The reaction I thought you were going to have was different. I'm so happy you guys don't absolutely hate us," Charlie laughed wiping away the tears that began to form.

"We wouldn't hate you for your preferences, we have been friends for too long!" Pitts exclaimed patting Charlie's shoulder.

"How come I didn't know you were in a secret society?" (Y/n) asked.

"It's a secret society, I also didn't know if you would be interested?" Charlie laughed.

After that (Y/n) spent a while with Charlie's friends before resuming his small surprise for their anniversary.

Hi one of my friends asked abt prime so here's an infodump abt it <3

Basically prime is the worship of twitch prime, primes take away money/fortune from Bezos (all mighty evil) and brings this fortune down upon us through the primers, they provide the primes, but we don't worship the subscribers we worship the prime itself. Walking along the prime path is one way to accumulate primes, its worth noting though that this could go with any place, it has to do with the continuous prayer on the prime path in the past that remains in its memory (essentially we've asked for primes so hard on the path before that at this point you get them just by walking on it. It's not just about the location though, which is why switching out the material is bad.) Bells are also important for summoning primes, you can think of them as awakening the twitch followers (aka the potential primers, theyre your patrons) and reaching to them for their support, it's like a less metaphysical notification bell that is aimed for the followers which are closest to you as you ring it, to draw them in and ask for their primes.

Prime as a whole is in everything, it is everywhere- it is stronger in some places yes, but the ability to access it lies entirely within YOU. A broken spirit is the only thing that would cause one who believes to feel that prime can not reach a location- it can, it just requires your strength to keep asking for those primes baby! That's why I usually start my prayers with something like "prime above, below, beside, and beyond" because it just emphasizes the full extent of prime, and also if we wanna talk abt the primers, how easy it is for them to prime! Like I said tho the religion is about prime not the primers, so unless you're asking for primes, when u reach out to prime you're reaching out to prime itself, not your followers.

the religion involves behaving in a very strict manner while on religious grounds, no violence, no horny, just yaknow no anything not allowed under TOS. These rules are looser outside of the holy grounds, but still very present in a less strict manner. Holy water obviously was a thing, You'd cleanse urself under holy water and prayer from evil shit tho u didn't encounter that much religious evil shit day to day. Other than that the symbols of prime were mainly the eyed cross (the eyes r ur followers, hi!) bells bell and purple

In the dream smp prime was much bigger than any of us, it was holy and bright but full of so many details that we couldn't understand the origin of, yknow? But prime has taken us and pulled us behind the curtain, and through the light of twitch we can see how prime as a religion is so much bigger than it seems, and what divine visions we saw in its founding were actually connected to a sprawling web of many different universes and streams. Obviously I'm not saying this is heaven or that the twitch in this world is what was literally going on behind the scenes of the prime religion, but it's still an interpretable insight on the religion regardless.

The "founders" of prime on the dream smp are not the founders, prime existed already we were just given the vision of it. Also of the founders of church prime dream smp, one defected from the religion entirely (dream, he basically just stopped searching for primes and started sinning like crazy) and one is tubbo so clearly not exactly the perfect image of holiness (me and quackity r fine tho, me and big q grew apart so who knows if he continued worship but he at the very least wasn't a huge sinner who didn't take care of his followers or anything like that)

This isn't as much about the religion it's more just gushing but the church was genuinely beautiful, brilliant white pillars and walls, the worship room was small and the benches were a bit dipped in from use (in a good way, made em more comfy) and god it felt so powerful to just slam on the bell with whatever u had or the stick thingy next to it, it was amazing. Golden bell, so beautiful, i loved standing up there and leading the church, it was my absolute favorite. The lighting in the church was so nice, the sun shining through purple stained glass and basking the whole church in heavenly light and color, the holy water almost glowed in that sunlight, it was perfectly clear and sparkly and under the light it took on that light purple color, beautiful clear water toned with prime yaknow. Prime it was so beautiful.

Not everyone wants to actually read the TOS I realize so here's a summary

1. Follow the community guidelines FULLY in holy lands, otherwise it's sort of a loose guide, u can especially break tos if it's funny /srs.

The community guidelines is basically just: follow the law, do not commit violence, threats, or serious encouragement of dishealth to you or others, don't be a bigot, respect privacy of yourself and others, don't impersonate ppl (once again, very ok for the bit outside of church), no misinfo that risks others safety (or politics), no sexy times, don't lie in prayer, idk how to explain the whole copyright thing but it usually manifested in ppl yelling abt turning certain music off because it wasnt allowed shwunrjtofig

2. kids can't be part of church prime, no giving primes no getting primes don't even ask for primes if ur under 13 go away you can't be here /lh. We didn't have kids on the smp (other than Michael but he couldn't speak anyways, he can't pray) so I'm not sure how this goes in actual practice!

In a new class will finish later

I have 15 minutes of phone time let's go

4. The bible can change, u adjust to that and don't follow the old scripture

5. Twitch can untwitch you if you fuck up too horribly, though that's kinda hard to do as far as I can tell. I mean just don't do a hate rally or whatever horribly tos behavior and ur good, not gonna get removed from the church and cut off from prime.

Yeah that's the important stuff imo, and worth noting that this is all MY interpretation. It's a religion, it's forces beyond our understanding, everyone will take it in a different way! That's just how these things go :3

by this world's standards of religion Church Prime was technically a pagan religion (though we didn’t use that word, not cus its bad or anything we just didn’t know that word lol) since despite being a common religion on the dream smp, it wasn’t necessarily a major religion otherwise. The many Churches of history did not have direct communication with each other, Prime is something which can be found by the individual as like I said, it's everywhere, and as such it was rediscovered more than once. It’s really impossible to know what the real reach of Prime was because of this, not everyone shared the gospel of Prime once they discovered it, and I presume most didn’t worship it the way we did.

Not to propagandize but it is also a pretty decent religion because it is fully against discrimination, there is no requirement to kill or die for it, there is no societal pressure to join and you won’t be kicked out of the smp for not believing it or anything, and you can come and go at any time, theres no guarantee that you’ll get primes if you join back in or when you first join obviously, as that just comes down to a whole lot of prayer and shit, but still u can come whenever u want. That stuff is mostly the bare minimum if you ask me, but there are a lot of religions in the world that put a lot of pressure on you or that don’t treat you fairly if you’re in a marginalized group or that basically tell you you’re fucking evil and going to burn in hell if you don’t pray and dedicate ur life to it and shit.

Also I’ve seen headcanons multiple times about bells being sewn onto clothing, which I’m bringing up just in case that was like a thing in your tl, even tho it wasn’t in mine (ringing the bell was a very active choice, I can’t imagine jingling around like a jester, kinda takes the whole intent thing out of that bell prayer but I could see others maybe doing it. I’d totally love if someone put bells on my corpse tho, if it ever got messed with I’d be asking for primes even in death, how cool would that be? It’d also be fuckin funny if someone tried to rob my grave and it was jingling like crazy, always do it for the bit boys, thats the number one unofficial rule of church prime /j)

There are many things Luz admits she doesn’t understand.  She can’t figure out how cars work, and she’s not so sure about long division.  But, she thinks, as she watches her girlfriend chop up vegetables in the fading light of the setting sun, some things she does understand.  

“How did you get so good at this?” Luz asks, stepping closer to peer over Amity’s shoulder.  Every cut is perfect, each individual piece almost exactly like the one before.  It makes sense.  It is so Amity.

“Don’t get excited,” Amity warns, tipping the vegetables into a pot of boiling water.  “This is all I know how to cook.  I had a chef growing up.”  She blushes brightly, and Luz grins.  Amity blushing has become one of her Top Five Favorite Things, right under Azura and above Hexside.  

Amity herself, of course, is above them all.

“Sorry,” Amity says sheepishly.  “I didn’t mean to sound spoiled or anything, it’s just- my parents don’t cook, and they don’t have time to-”

“Amity.  It’s fine.”  Luz laughs, and Amity’s blush intensifies.  Luz is about to say something about it when Eda bursts into the room with all the subtlety of a hurricane.  “Look what I foooound,” she sings, proudly presenting something extremely dusty and unidentifiable.  Luz and Amity raise their eyebrows in unison.  

“Uh, what is it?” Luz asks.

“It’s a human-” Eda pauses.  “Okay, I’ll admit, I have absolutely no idea what it is.  But it’s cool looking and I like it.” “Another human treasure? Lemme see!”

“Suit yourself,” Eda says, and hands it over.  

The thing is heavier than Luz expected, and she grunts as she puts it down quickly on the kitchen table.

“Dang, Owl Lady, you’ve got strong arms,” she says.  

“I work out,” Eda responds, flexing her muscles.

Amity and Luz look at each other, and then at Eda.  They blink.

“Fine,” Eda says.  “Buzzkills. I don’t work out. You caught me, congratulations.”  She stalks out of the kitchen, muttering something about “dumb kids and their dumb honesty”.

Luz snorts and turns her attention back to the thing on the counter.  “Let’s see what we’ve got here,” she says, and blows the dust off.  Once the cloud clears, the thing begins to take shape, and Luz squeals.  “A record player! With a record on it!  This is amazing! My mom has one of these back home!”

“Record player?” Amity says.  “What does it do?”

Luz grins, always happy to show off her human knowledge.  “I’ll show you,” she says, and sets the pin on the groove of the record.  It’s silent for a moment, but then a slow tune echoes through the room.  There are no words in the song, and Luz has no idea who wrote it, but she’s in awe.

“Wow,” Amity says, echoing Luz’s thoughts.  “It’s beautiful.”

“Yeah,” Luz agrees, completely entranced by the melody.  Once the song fades away and the next one starts, she gets an idea.  She regards Amity out of the corner of her eye, gathers her courage, and says “Amity Blight, may I have this dance?”

Surprise flashes across Amity’s face, but she recovers impressively quickly.

“I thought you’d never ask.”  

She reaches out her hand and Luz takes it, gently guiding Amity to the middle of the kitchen.  Amity hesitantly puts her arm around Luz’s waist, pulling her closer, as Luz puts a hand on Amity’s shoulder.  It feels familiar, and when they start swaying around the kitchen, Amity starts to laugh.

“What? What’s so funny? Did I do something?”

“No, no,” Amity says, tightening her hold around Luz’s waist.  “It’s just...this is so different from our first dance together.”

“Our first...oh, you mean Grom!”

Amity takes a step backwards, and Luz follows, trying not to trip over her own feet.  

“Yes I mean Grom!”

They dance in silence for a moment, moonlight shining through the window.  

“Hey,” Luz starts, not sure if she wants the answer to the question she’s about to ask. “Who did you wanna take to Grom, anyway?”

Amity stares blankly at her for a few seconds, and for a moment Luz is worried she said something out of turn.  But then she smiles softly, so softly that Luz’s heart does a funny thing in her chest, and she’s pretty sure that, for a second, she can’t breathe.

“It was you, Luz,” Amity says quietly.  “It was always you.”

Luz stops dancing.  She stops blinking.  She stops breathing.

“Uh, Luz?” Amity says, sounding worried.  “Are you okay?”

Luz blinks, comes back into herself, and says “YOU WERE GOING TO ASK ME TO GROM????”

“Yes? Why is that a surprise? You know I...like you.” Amity blushes again.  They’re still not used to saying these things out loud to each other.  It’s a process.  

This time, Luz blushes too.  “Yeah, but like..that long??? You’ve liked me since Grom???”

“Since before Grom, actually,” Amity admits, looking down at the floor.  “It’s...it’s been a long time.”

Luz’s grip on Amity’s shoulder slackens, then tightens again.”Wow,” she says, breathless.  “Me.  You’ve liked me for months.  You!!!”

Amity giggles.  “Me,” she agrees.  

Luz knows that the smile on her face is sappy, but she can’t help it.  She just likes Amity so much it’s overwhelming sometimes.  

They begin to sway again, and Luz feels like she’s in a trance.  She can’t believe that one person can make her feel this happy.  It’s like magic.

“So,” Amity says, cutting into Luz’s inner monologue, “When was it for you?”

“Huh?”

“When did you start to like me?”  

Amity manages, with what looks like supreme willpower, not to blush this time.  Luz does not manage the same.

“O-oh,” Luz says, thinking back to all the times she made a fool of herself in front of Amity before they’d started dating.  “I don’t know? I mean, I realized it that time you saved my life, but I think I’ve probably liked you for a lot longer than that. Maybe even before Grom.”

“Which time?”

“What?”

“Which time?  I save your life a lot,” Amity smirks.  Luz rolls her eyes.  “Okay, fair,” she says.  “But I mean that time at your parents’ presentation.  Right after you...when you called me “my Luz.”

“Oh, no, you heard that?” Amity looks extremely embarrassed as she leans forward and hides her face in Luz’s shoulder.  Luz tries not to smell her hair.  She fails.

“Of course I heard that!” She says when she’s done.  “You practically screamed it out loud to a room full of strangers!”

“I did, didn’t I? Wow, I was so obvious!”

Luz rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.  “I didn’t notice.”

“What??? How???” Amity asks, picking her head up to look Luz in the eye.  “I was a complete mess in front of you for months! What did you think was happening?”

Luz shrugs.  “I just thought you were cute, that’s all.  In hindsight, though, maybe I should’ve picked up some context clues.”

Amity snorts.  “It’s okay.  You being oblivious saved me a ton of embarrassment.  Until I kissed you on the cheek.  That..uh….that was not planned.”

Luz can’t stop the smile that takes over her face.  She remembers that day well.  She was so focused on finding Phillip’s diary entries and also not making a fool of herself in front of Amity, that she was taken completely by surprise when Amity kissed her.  She’s pretty sure she literally fell to the floor afterwards, overwhelmed with the fact that Amity had just kissed her and suddenly realizing that maybe, just maybe, her crush liked her too.  

“Well I’m glad you did,” she says gently, twirling Amity around once, twice, three times.  “I think it’s time for me to return the favor.”

“What do you-”

Before she can think about it long enough to stop herself, Luz leans in and kisses Amity on the cheek.  

The world freezes.  

Amity looks at her, and she looks at Amity, and Luz’s eyes are so wide, and Amity’s mouth is hanging slightly open, and suddenly Luz is completely, entirely unsure of herself.  Her confidence is gone, and suddenly she can hear the ghost of laughter and “Ew, why would anyone want her?” And she realizes she’s made a horrible mistake.  

“U-um sorry I-” She stutters, but can’t get a sentence out, until finally she manages “I’m gonna leave now.”

She backs up slowly until her back hits the door, and is about to turn the handle when Amity says “Luz, this is your house.”

“Drat,” Luz says, slapping a hand to her face.  “You’re right.”

Amity giggles, hand covering her mouth to stifle her laughter.  She’s bright red but so is Luz, and suddenly Luz is laughing too.

They laugh together for what seems like hours, until finally they manage to subdue themselves, tears in both their eyes.

“Hey,” Amity says softly, once the giggles have stopped.  “Come here.”

Luz complies, stepping around the table and over Ghost, who has an unidentifiable animal in her mouth.  When she finally reaches Amity, she finds herself pulled into a bone crushing hug.  Startled but pleased, she squeezes back, marvelling at the fact that she has the most perfect girl in the world in her arms.  

“Look,” Amity says, still wrapped up in the hug.  “I know we’re both new at this, and it’s kind of scary, but you don’t have to run away every time you kiss me on the cheek or something.  You have nothing to be afraid of, okay? You’re my girlfriend, and I’m not gonna stop liking you.”

Luz sniffles a little and squeezes harder.  “You don’t...you don’t think I’m too much?”

“Luz,” Amity says.  “I could never get enough of you.”  

They stand there like that, swaying slightly in the single stripe of moonlight that comes through the window.  When they part, it’s with a sigh, and a silent promise that they’ll come together again.  

“Thanks,” Luz says, eyes rimmed red.  “You’re a pretty awesome girlfriend.”

Amity smiles.  “I know.” 

Then she shrugs shyly.  “And if you ever want to kiss me again...I wouldn’t be opposed.”

“Noted,” Luz says weakly.  She thinks her knees might give out, actually.

When it’s time for Amity to go, Luz walks her to the door, like the gentleman she is.  “Goodnight,” she says, trying to ignore Hooty loudly digesting a mouse.  She doesn’t want to think about where his stomach even is.

“Goodnight,” Amity says.

They smile dumbly at each other, neither wanting to be the first one to leave.  But Amity needs to get home, and the night is moving quickly, so they reluctantly part ways.  Amity turns to wave at Luz when she reaches the end of the Owl House’s property, and Luz waves back, stars in her eyes and a breathless wonder at the fact that this girl, this amazing, brilliant, perfect girl, is hers.  

There are many things Luz doesn’t understand.  

But this, what she and Amity have, the bond she feels growing stronger and stronger every day they spend together; this she does understand.

She closes the door.  She doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring, but she knows that as long as she has Amity by her side, everything will be okay.

- this causes for a quick venue pay out by Wayne Ent. and simplistic decorations and a small gathering

- you invite close family and friends and jason begrudgingly invites his entire family

- you get jason to agree to wait a month or so to get married on the grounds that there will be an open bar and buffet for his dining pleasure

- originally he tried to feign annoyance but as the days went on he slowly crept into the planning, pointing out how beautiful red roses look in bouquets and that he actually didn't mind the lace table covers paired with the satin napkins and silvery tableware

- jason's family each plan to give hilarious toasts to the newly weds to jason's disgust but secret excitement

- jay will demand a honey moon, but he won't tell you or his family where it is

- you'll take the time during the honey moon to give your vows in private, making soft promises and loving remarks between just the two of you, because your love is the reason for the union of your lives, and the promises you make are so personal and loving they seem better to be made in private with the love of your life

Tim Drake

- before any wedding planning tim would take either your best friends or family out and ask for permission to marry you, not because you're property to held but because he wants to prove to your loved ones that he'd do anything for you, and he knows that their approval is everything to you

- your best friend would totally pull his leg and be like "hmm i don't know i thought you and y/n were just friends?!" and tim would almost pass out until "UM DUH IM KIDDING THEYRE TOTALLY HEAD OVER HEELS FOR YOU TIM HAHA OF COURSE YOU CAN MARRY THEM!"

- tim would want a destination wedding, somewhere beautifully foresty and green, surrounded by the cleanest air and the best views

- he likes the idea of marrying outside of Gotham because you remind him he's more than just a ceo or hero, you show him the beauty of life and he'll want to portray that through the venue itself

- he might struggle with the anxiety of wanting to impress everyone who's coming or question if the wedding is cool enough

- reminding him it's just you and him, surrounded by your loved ones, the people who never expect perfection and love each of you for you!

- he takes the "to be married can't see other" saying very seriously, refusing to tell you about his suit other than the color and almost fainting if he sees anything that looks like a white dress or fancy suit anywhere near him for fear it's yours

- if you'll let him, he'll hire a wedding planner to take the pressure off your shoulders

- he'll send you on cute day trips to get massages, manicures, facials, or other fun activities in the days leading up to the wedding to pamper you

- tim would want to take pictures at the wedding, he's often busy with heroism or work trips so he wants the best day of his life memorialized by the best photographer money can buy so he can have the photos forever to remind him that he won the only game that truly matters, and if everything seems bad he'll always have you

Damian Wayne

- damian might not have understood the concept of weddings for a while, if he knew he loved you why did there have to be a big party to secure it?

- whay gets him hooked on the idea is the decor, he loves getting to sift through design ideas and concepts making the most extravagant designs for the two of you

- he also would take special time on your ring, he'd spend months drafting and finalizing a ring created by him, a design that no one else in the world would ever have but his beloved

- the ring would be delicate and expertly designed, he'd include little ridges to fidget with because he knows you like to toy with your jewelry so he'd try to make the ring beautiful from all angles, he'd engrave the inside of the ring with a saying personal to just the two of you so that you knew his love was sitting right on your finger

- dami might get stressed before the wedding, the night before instead of sleeping separately with his bachelor party he'll sneak into your bedroom and you'd both spend the night talking about your future and how nervous but excited you were

- that night was your vows, it was private and soft and loving, it was perfect. there was no need to try to perfect a speech in front of thousands when you gave damian your promises the night before the wedding, held tightly in his arms while he swore the same

- that's a common theme for your relationship, damian comes to you when he's scared or nervous, he trusts you infinitely and rushes to your embrace when he thinks no else cares for him

- the day of the wedding you and damian will do a first look, there are beautiful pictures of damian's watery eyes meeting yours as he admires how perfect you look

- embracing him as he tells you all his vows still stand forever and always, then parting ways only to be married in a few hours, it all felt beyond perfect, your forever and always.

maknae line x gn!reader (comedy, fluff, mild angst)

~1.2k words ea (headcanons)

warnings: cursing

a/n: i just wrote this for funsies, please be mindful that there is heavy swearing in these headcanons (particularly in ni-ki’s part), so if that isn’t your taste, perhaps skip this one! other than that, the rest of this is pretty chill, so i hope you enjoy my shitposting. oh, and lmk if you like this enough to want part two with the hyung line 👀 just maybe i’ll do it

sunoo

was only recently employed as an afternoon shift employee and was both shocked and distressed after discovering the cafe didnt have an instagram

“what do you MEAN you dont have instagram??? how do we post selfies???” “sunoo we sell coffee” “NO ONE WANTS COFFEE JUNGWON THEY WANT CUTE BARISTAS”

starts an instagram for the cafe and takes aesthetic pictures of his latte art

his selfies get way more likes though

speaking of his latte art, he masters the skill like a week in and everyone else is incredibly jealous

their jealousy wears off when jungwon tells him that he has to start training the new apprentices

pretends he forgot how to do it for like a week but it hurts his pride so he begrudgingly agrees to train the apprentices instead

in his free time he can be found snapping pictures around the shop, eventually expanding to taking pictures of the others too

“sunghoon stop moving you look cute and i need to take a photo” “sunoo im holding hot milk” “does it look like i care beauty is pain sweetie”

other than that, he sometimes sits in the booths to snack on muffins and do his homework since he only comes in to the shop for about an hour during his school lunch break and on the weekends

you meet sunoo after applying for an apprenticeship, wanting to get a job before you finish high school and start college

seen as though jungwon looks like the boss, you approach him, nervous for your first shift

“i’m here for the apprenticeship program?” “oh yeah! one second!”

he trots off to the back room, leaving you standing awkwardly in the middle of the cafe

“SUNOO GET OFF JAY YOU HAVE AN APPRENTICE TO TRAIN” “*gasp* YOU MADE ME SMUDGE HIS LIPSTICK I'M QUITTING” “NO YOURE NOT GET OUT THERE RIGHT NOW”

the yelling pauses before who you presume is sunoo stomps through the back room door, a scowl on his face

he spots you, groaning loudly “are you the apprentice?”

“yes” you say meekly, guilty for seeming to ruin his shift

he gestures you to follow him behind the counter, pulling an apron out from under the sink and shoving it to your chest

its clear that hes pissed, yanking his tools out from the cupboards as you tie your apron behind your back quietly

“have you made coffee before?” “only instant coffee” “oh fantastic”

he seems to be getting more irritated by the minute before he takes a deep breath and starts directing you around the machines

“to do the art, you angle the mug like this and draw with the milk, but it wont show until it reaches the top so dont go crazy”

as if its nothing, he demonstrates by drawing a perfect swan in the milk, setting the latte down and dusting his hands off

“wow… thats amazing” “i know right? no one here appreciates me enough” “they should! this is the best i’ve ever seen”

he grins at your compliment, nodding with satisfaction and sending a wave of relief over you as you notice he looks less angry with you now

“um… im sorry if i interrupted whatever you were doing before” “oh, that? i was just doing jay’s makeup” “you like makeup? me too! i’ve never seen a boy interested in it though, thats really cool” you smile genuinely at him as he blinks in surprise

“really? you think its cool?” “definitely!”

you watch the gears turn in his head before he smiles widely, seeming to have come to some kind of revelation as he nods

“i like you.”

your cheeks heat up immediately, but before you can say anything in return, he starts calling out for jungwon, leaning over the counter

“JUNGWOOON, CAN WE HAVE THIS ONE?”

“well thats up to them” he looks up from the table hes wiping down, adjusting his apron as he walks over to the counter

“so youre all finished with the course? i hope sunoo wasnt too much for you”

“i wasnt! anyways, youre employed, okay?” “sunoo stop theyre just an apprentice”

he groans loudly, irritated once more as he whips his head to you

“you have to work here, ok? i said so, so come back and apply or i’ll be mad!”

you laugh at his antics and smile “i’ll see what i can do”

after jungwon pries sunoo off of your arm, you return your apron and leave the shop with a wave

“YOU BETTER COME BACK!�� is the last thing you hear as you step out onto the street, the bell ringing to signal your exit

a week later, you return to the shop, slightly anxious that your new friend(?) might have forgotten about you

but this is quickly washed away when you hear a high pitched squeal from the counter

“JUNGWON! HURRY THE FUCK UP AND GET THE FORMS THEYRE HERE”

you laugh as you approach the counter, a teasing tone on your voice

“are you supposed to be talking to your boss like that?” “whats he gonna do? fire me? im the only one who can make coffee in this place” “true”

soon enough, jungwon comes out of his hiding place, his hands clasped together

“im really sorry to ask this but please, you have to work here, sunoo hasnt shut up about you all week and i dont know if i can stand him anymore, i’ll even pay you extra please dear god”

you give sunoo a look, only receiving an innocent smile and puppy eyes back

“sure, i’ll take the job!”

jungwon sighs in relief as sunoo begins jumping up and down, yelling something about having his own little baby to take care around the shop as you groan, covering your blushing face

once you have your hours established (sunoo made you take the same as all of his, but you did the nights instead of the afternoons on the weekends, to his displeasure), you get straight to working

… well, sort of

it was hard to get work done with sunoo pestering you around the clock

“you think im cute right?” “yes sunoo” “even though i have bags under my eyes? “yes sunoo” “you promise?” “yes sunoo” “good”

admittedly he is slightly of help when it comes to the more fiddly parts of making coffee, but every other second of the day he seems to be flirting nonstop

“can i kiss you?” “no” “why not” “sunoo we’ve been over this” “BEING AT WORK ISNT A VALID EXCUSE”

worn down after his incessant yelling all day, you find yourself snapping faster than usual

“we’re not even dating, sunoo! why would i kiss you!? just stop playing with my feelings already!”

for the first time since you’ve known him, sunoo goes quiet

“why not?”

“what are you talking about now sunoo?” “why arent we dating”

now its your turn to go quiet

“do you not like me?” “what? no, sunoo-” before you can reason with him, you watch him quickly rush away from you around the counter, slamming the break room door behind him with tears in his eyes

cursing to yourself, you ensure there are no customers to serve before quickly darting after him

after looking around a bit, you hear sniffling from the supply closet and knock on the door quietly

“sunoo?” “leave me alone!”

you sigh, taking a step back and turning on your heel to face the opposite direction, running a hand through your hair as you think

you spot a dog bed at your feet, suddenly remembering that jake usually keeps his dog supplies covered in dog hair in the closet

“sunoo arent you allergic to dogs?”

“... *sniffle* y-yeah”

after you persuade him to come out by mentioning that his face is going to get all puffy, he steps out, eyes glued to the floor as he looks away from you in shame

placing a hand on his shoulder, you speak to him softly

“sunoo, look at me”

he does, hesitantly, his eyes red and watery and, as you said, puffy and inflamed

despite this, you smile

“i do like you back”

his eyes start watering again, your heart skipping a beat in fear that you had said something wrong

“e-even if my face is all puffy and gross?” his voice wobbles, the tears filling his eyes giving him a sense of vulnerability as you sigh

“yes, even if your face is all puffy and gross”

he smiles at that, shutting his eyes cutely as you press a kiss to his cheek

“and theres your kiss”

he whines “i was supposed to do that!”

“you can do it after we finish work, okay?” “WORK STILL ISNT A VALID EXCUSE…. but maybe today just because i need to ice my face” “yeah you really should, can you even see?” “no not at all” “great”

jungwon

the previous manager left suddenly and jungwon was given a semi-forced promotion as he was the only employee with at least half of a brain cell

poor boy is stressed 24/7

doesnt get paid enough for this

“hey jungwon we ran out out of coffee bea-” “I ORDERED NEW ONES FOUR HOURS AGO NOW SHUT UP IM TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE BOSS DOESNT FIND JAKE’S DOG SHELTER IN THE SUPPLY CLOSET”

goes through hell every day just to make sure the others dont burn the cafe down

is supposed to be on the morning shift but he stays until the afternoon

in his rare moments of downtime, he likes to go around and water the hanging plants around the shop

is that one vine where the mom listens to nicki minaj for the first time and screams “no” over and over whenever ni-ki gets control of the cafe music

“RIKI NISHIMURA WHAT IS THAT ON THE SPEAKERS” “ITS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR ARIANA GRANDE” “TURN IT OFF THIS IS NOT PG13” “SHUT THE FUCK UP GRANDPA”

is only 16 but acts like a 32-year-old father going through a midlife crisis

lifts boxes of supplies all day yet his joints are famously brittle

“hey jungwon did you hear glass shattering too?” “sorry jay that was my back” “you need to invest in physical therapy” “maybe if i wasnt paying for property damage every other week 😊”

you meet jungwon when you drop into the cafe for a croissant and a coffee before your class starts

usually you come at night maybe an hour before closing so you had never seen him before, but here you were watching this cute but clearly stressed boy scramble around the shop carrying boxes of supplies to the back

trying not to be creepy, you sigh, turning back to your phone after watching him for a solid five minutes straight

as you do, you hear a crash coming from what you assume is the supply closet followed by a disgruntled groan

pausing, looking around at the other customers typing away at their laptops and waiting for another staff member to go check on the boy, you stand up as you discern that he must be the only one working and hesitantly go to see if he’s okay

“hello? are you okay?” you peer through the door, your eyes widening at the sight of him rubbing his head with a wince on his features, supplies strewn around him at his feet and a box knocked over beside him

“ah… um, yes, i’m okay, sorry if i disturbed you with that noise…” he smiles bashfully, pulling himself back onto his feet

“do you need help with all of that stuff?”

he opens his mouth to protest, not wanting to have to ask for help from a customer, but after seeing the amount of crap off of the shelves, he realises that there is no way in hell he’s going to be able to clean all of it up alone before his shift ends

“um… is that okay?” his cheeks flush with embarrassment as you smile

“sure!”

over the next couple of hours you two establish a little system of bagging the spilt supplies and passes them to eachother to put in boxes, chatting never ceasing as you discover that you actually have a lot of things in common

“since you work here, what’s your favourite kind of coffee?” “i like lattes… i cant stand bitter things” “me too! my friend drinks espressos though” “ditch them”

you also find out that he started being homeschooled after becoming the manager as he doesnt have time to attend normal school

the both of you find yourselves laughing nonstop, having fun in eachother’s company

so much so that you end up late for school

“oh shit! i completely missed my first class”

guilty for making you late, he offers to take you

“i can take you?” “you drive?” “well….. not exactly”

once sunoo and ni-ki arrive to care for the shop, he takes you out to the car park, pulling a spare helmet out of his backpack and securing it on your head before giving your head a pat as he gets onto his scooter

“you look cute” “i look like a bug” “a cute bug”

once you get to school, face red after having to hold onto him the entire time, you hop off and pass him the helmet with a shy smile

“thanks for driving me” you mutter, brushing off imaginary dirt from your shirt as you do your best to avoid eye contact, your face still flushed and heart racing

is it possible to develop a crush on someone this quickly???

jungwon is so cute that he makes it possible, you surmise

“of course” he mirrors your nervous smile, a blush finding its way to his own cheeks

as you bow and spin on your heel to start walking inside, he stops you

“wait!”

“what is it?” you turn to him, your heart still thundering against your ribcage at the fond expression he has plastered on his features

“actually… can i pick you up? after school?”

when you pause, your face growing hotter and hotter, he begins to sputter

“i-i’m really sorry, its fine if not! that was way too forward, i just really like you and- oh god that was even more forward- um-” “okay” “yeah i’m sorry that was a stupid questio- wait, what?”

before he can say anything else, your smile widens

“i’ll see you later, okay? don’t be late!” you wave, skipping into the building with a fluffy feeling in your chest

with an awkward wave, jungwon watches you leave, his mouth wide open in shock before a grin replaces his expression

getting back into his seat, the lovestruck smile never leaving his face as he drives off, he begins to count down the minutes until he gets to see you again

ni-ki

works the afternoon shift

technically an apprentice but he gets paid and has been there forever so basically an employee at this point

or he would be if he ever actually made coffee

he sits with the work phone all morning and chooses the music

perpetually dancing to 7 rings by ariana grande (look up his cover. youre welcome in advance)

jungwon and jay scream at him to at least do the mopping to which he complies, but not without performing a whole ass concert with it

once they saw him twirl and dip the mop

eventually they just told him to go back to curating the music because he was scaring customers away and they were losing business

he was horrible at cleaning anyway

“hey jungwon i think i got window cleaner in your plant” “im firing you” “i dont even go here” “STOP QUOTING MEAN GIRLS AND FIX THE DAMAGE YOUVE CAUSED”

you meet ni-ki while youre drinking your coffee at a booth and he plays your favourite obscure indie song so you have to compliment his taste and get to talking

he plays your favourite songs whenever youre in the shop and audibly hisses at anyone who tries to change it

makes choreography to said songs at home and tries to impress you by casually belting it out by your booth

when you compliment his dancing and ask how long hes been practicing that choreography hes all like “oh hahaha it was just casual freestyle super easy peasy”

(hes been practicing for two weeks)

thought he was being super obvious by doing these things but apparently nOT because you have not caught the hint at all and hes getting impatient

asks for advice from the others begrudgingly

“give them flowers” “jay thats so boring” “do you want to use one of my dogs? everyone loves dogs” “wtf jake since when have you had more than one dog” “make them latte art with a heart on it” “sunoo ive literally never made a coffee in my life” “why dont you just ask them out like a normal perso-” “shut the fuck up grandpa thats so weird no one does that”

eventually he settles on sunoo’s idea of making you latte art and he embarks on his journey to make his first coffee

rather than focusing on the actual taste, sunoo tells him to just do whatever so that he can show him how to do the art

“why is it green ni-ki” “you said to do whatever” “and your first idea was to make poison? idk if this is the best idea if youre trying to ask this person out” “shut up and pass me the milk”

burns his hands on the steaming milk jug at least fifteen times and ends up with so many bandaids on his fingers

despite how stiff the bandages are on his hands, he eventually manages to make a sort-of legible heart

“it looks like africa” “have you ever had steamed milk poured on your eyes sunoo?”

poor ni-ki waits for you all day, his heart leaping every time the bell on the door rings only to roll his eyes when it isnt you

he even stays past his shift so youd better let him take you on a date or hes quitting

when you finally arrive he trips over the bucket at his feet he was using to clean and spills dirty water all over his pants

“omg ni-ki are you okay what happened” *five octaves higher* “NOTHING I'M COMPLETELY FINE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT”

by the time he’s finished cleaning himself up (and by that i mean fixing his hair in the mirror for twenty minutes) he takes a deep breath and walks over to you, somewhat cold latte in hand

“um,” he clears his throat, his face growing red as he slides the mug towards you “i made this for you”

“aw thanks ni-ki! why is it green” “........its matcha?”

youre slightly suspicious but you look back to the mug and slowly realise that the “drawing” slightly resembles a heart, smiling a little bit to yourself

when you look back to him, youre a little confused as to why hes just standing there

“is something wrong?” you press the mug to your lips, taking a sip

“o-uh uh actually, i wanted to ask if… if you would uh maybe sort of go on a date with me”

you can only smile

“yes, but…”

his heart starts beating faster, watching you anxiously

you stand up, taking the notepad and pen from his apron pocket and scribbling your phone number

“only if you promise to learn how to make actual coffee” you wink, handing him the notepad and sauntering out of the shop

hes stood there dumbstruck, stars in his eyes at the slip of paper in his hand

but then he realises: he has a new mission

rushing to the back room, he slams the door open

“grandpa, i need you to teach me how to make coffee right now” “literally why do i pay you”

with your promise in mind, the others see him work more diligently at the counter than they ever have before

“wow youre actually working today?” “shut up i need to figure out how to do this butterfly before i pry my eyes out with a fork” “haha funny joke ni-” “did i stutter”

at the end of the week, he forces heeseung (the cafe’s best coffee maker) and sunoo (the cafe’s best latte artist) to judge his latte

“this is… surprisingly good” heeseung peers into the mug, smiling at the swan ni-ki created with the latte foam as sunoo grumbles “dont tell me im gonna have to start competing with this kid, it probably tastes gross” “it tastes amazing too” “im quitting”

with his coworkers’ notes in mind, he finally works up the nerve to send you a quick message telling you to come into the shop

when you arrive the next day, ni-ki greets you and immediately gets to work, making sure to stand as close as humanly possible to your booth so he can show off his newly acquired coffee making skills

with you only inches away, he does make a mistake and spill milk on his shirt after looking at you and not his hands for a second too long, but you decide to give him the benefit of the doubt when he sets the mug in front of you

“wow! this heart is perfect!”

you smile, looking up to him “did you seriously learn how to do latte art just so you could take me on a date?” “… y-yeah, and?”

you can only chuckle as you press the mug to your lips, readying yourself to drink liquid dirt…

“this is… really good!” you grin, taking another sip and putting the mug down on its saucer

“i think you’ve definitely earned yourself a date… or two”

at this news, ni-ki’s face lights up, shoving the urge to scream down his throat before nodding stiffly to try and contain his excitement with a strained “cool” escaping his lips

“are you okay ni-ki?” “yes just give me one second”

he quickly scrambles to the break room, a moment of silence wafting through the store before a shrill scream fills the air

eyes wide, you turn to jay, who had been manning the till, after hearing him burst into laughter

“what is he doing?”

“we told him the freezer was sound proof”
