sometimes ranpo will kiss poe randomly. he’ll just lean up and peck his lips or cheek but every time he does he goes “MWAH” very loudly as if to announce to the entire room that he’s kissing his boyfriend. it’s a bit silly and a bit obnoxious and he’s VERY aware. but poe hides his face every time.

this is my element (+ album)
asking me to pick my fave album is like asking an orphan matron to pick her favorite baby boy
thats some weird and cruel circumstances to put upon me i feel like it changes every damn week like a rota
i mean what if my beats misbehave and i gotta put 'em in time out i cant play permanent on that theyre too cute
but yknow what i can show you one thing thats been on my mind lately
===
so when i was a kid we had this skateboard vid by "element skateboards" on DVD
they were this skateboard kit slash apparel company that was all about progressivism and shit and they did these much lauded comp tapes of dudes riding around on their boards and doing the dopest of macho tricks on the shit
flipping it turnways
putting the rock in the house like a big man
we had some of their merch actually
===
so anyways the one we had back then was This Is My Element
released 2007
mostly clips from cali i think and i mean the camerawork is fucking insane on some of those shots
this is gonna sound lame as fuck but i prob spent so many cumulative hours just peelin through the footage and ogling the shit outta it
that framing was tight
===
so you may be asking yourself or me
dave you genuine dicksucker i asked about your fav album not your favorite sordid ass display of smooth dudes hardcore riding and grinding them boards in public dude you have a problem
ok well that wasnt a question first of all so jot that down
but anyways to THAT i say
listen to the music
the whole thing has an original soundtrack of ambient beats
got some abstract hip hop jams, got some more indie stuff, lots of acoustic sampling
HELLA underground
and basically every track minus one is done by sampler beast david p. madson AKA "odd nosdam"
dude is my hero seriously
he is the master of the beat machine i shit you not hes always been kinda my idol on this stuff
aside from bro obviously
===
obviously.
===
anyways he had an E-mu SP-1200 which is a really oldschool sampler invented by dave rossum in the late 80s
revolutionary to the hip hop scene
nosdam had this mega distinct sound to his music that i always wanted to replicate on my own beats
still do
i dont know for sure if he used it on T.I.M.E. but he uses some of the same samples from "vol. 9" which was exclusively SP-1200 so im gonna get a lil j’accuzi on that
it couldve been a boss dr sampler SP-202 though idk
he had one of those
===
so aside from beating the shit out of the pause/resume button to flip my whole cranium at the cinematography or whatever i would also kinda play it on loop to listen to the soundtrack and space out at 2am
the lonely broner seemed to free his mind at night
ok shit broner is good but i didnt mean it like that
that was goofy lets just keep movin
it was the only way i had to listen to it back then but i mean the video is 50 mins long so its basically just an odd nosdam album with accompanying ambient skater sounds and random expletives and whatever
random car sequence
yknow what i dont think people respect enough?
the dude who catches all the "mad stunts yo" on camera
i swear to god at least half the time hes ALSO on a board and that shit is bananas to me
bros gotta be on some whole other level of zen to skate good AND catch all them glamor shots of his fellow skater
thats like an express ticket to the ER imo
the ambulance is already on the scene watching you like an eager crow watches a half dead dog
===
ok gonna go ahead and lay it out flat
not great on a board myself
kinda dogshit at it actually
so maybe im not exactly an arbitrator of skateboard heinousness
but i always kinda liked watching THEM do it i mean who doesnt?
whats an even crazier layer to stack on the "dave" cake is
and dirk told me this because unfortunately it kinda happened post-2009
he would do all these collabs with one of my childhood favorite underground rappers david cohn aka serengeti
surrounded by daves left and right dude even before all the time travel horseshit
thats like
serendipitous as fuck i think!
===
if sburb was just a revolving door of artists called dave that i could bump fists with
instead of other mes in various states of aliveness tending toward extremely dead
i wouldve probably given it something higher than 2 stars on my TGN review
===
so yeah you ask me my favorite album its T.I.M.E. by odd nosdam i guess
bump that shit on a walk your mind will go places unknown to man
#dave strider#homestuck#comix#this is my element#the way i drew dave posing here is rly heavily inspired by askinsufferableprick btw#welcome to strider infodump hours

thoughts on semi 1 having finally watched all of it:
albania: i DO NOT get how this didn't qualify! maybe the staging was a bit ... generic? compared to the music video but even that feels like a stretch
latvia: whoever put them in at number 2 should be punished i mean it. this is one that could've done with a proper led backing? i'm in shock this didn't get through its just fun. and do we not, as a continent, still love men with saxophones? i could go on
lithuania: god i LOVE HER, im so glad this one qualified i was worried about it. its a song i think id enjoy even more at 2am after a bottle and a half of wine (this is a good thing)
switzerland: no words. i would find nice things to say if it nqd but as it stands... fuck off. its like frans from 2016 but with the most horrendous vibes.
slovenia: funky jazzy little boys! obsessed with the song with the staging... juries across the world should be shivering in their boots about what i am going to do when the split results are revealed.
ukraine: i actually like it on stage a lot more than i did just listening to it, rap's not always my kind of music but i like this a lot. i've always adored the chorus and i love the folkiness of it :)
bulgaria: it's alright! it's nice but i get why it didn't qualify. for me this was a very strong semifinal, and if it hadn't been i think this would've had a better chance. points for pyro and guitar solo
netherlands: this was the first i watched live! it's pleasant and i love the staging of it – a bit city lights esque? – would've been a shock if it didn't qualify. it has that sort of vague country/western sound i really like (and that the netherlands generally does really well)
moldova: one of those songs i couldn't fit in my top 10 but i'm not upset at all it qualified. joyful, an actual representation of their country, makes me want to take a train from chisinau to bucharest... what's not to love?
portugal: love her so much wow. when do portugal not bring beautiful songs, for one? i don't think any country does it better. i was a little worried it would get lost as they sometimes do but i'm excited to see it again in the final!
croatia: MIA. you may have put together from my other posts that i am devastated she didn't get through. i knew it was a low chance but i love this one so much, it gives me ivy by taylor swift vibes in particular? one of the songs that will make it on to my non-eurovision playlists. i love you mia i'm so sorry my queen 😔😔
denmark: like bulgaria for me, i think it was a strong semifinal and this just wasn't quite the top for me, although i don't dislike it. i don't know if it was intended or if it was just the broken sun but the backdrop looks like vinyl records and i love that
austria: i liked the music video a lot! if i'd just seen this for the first time... i understand how it did not qualify.
iceland: its very first aid kit, which i really like. it didn't capture me before the show but the performance is lovely and i'm happy it qualified. (just noticed the flag on sigga's hand, as well, i respect that a lot)
greece: she ATE. lapped them all. my favourite qualifier of the semi. i don't have any words for this because all i can say is watch the performance then watch it again. askhgvdfjl
norway: i have to admit i'm not the biggest fan of this, in terms of i guess 'novelty' songs i much preferred latvia, and i don't tend to love extra effects on the screen (though that is very specific personal nitpicking). i'm not unhappy its in the final, i understand why and the song is alright i just wouldn't pick it personally!
armenia: i liked armenia a lot when i first heard it but i think i might have listened to it too much asgdjfh. i wish we could hear a finger click when she snapped her fingers.

Derek blinked bleary eyes. His phone screen was the only source of light in his room, as he read through the flurry text messages.
What the hell is a Stiles?

“You’re late.” Laura frowned, arms crossed.
“Are you going to let me in?” Derek grumbled, still feeling the affects of having stayed up until 4AM the previous night.
Laura didn’t argue she just stepped aside to let him through into her flat. “You’re grumpier than usual.” She noted.
“Didn’t sleep well.”
Derek hated the look she gave him then.
The look that said he was broken. The look that said she wanted to fix him.
“Is…Is it the nightmares again?” Laura’s voice dipped to a whisper, like the question alone would be enough to send him over the edge.
“No.”
An awkward silence defended over the two of them, neither knowing what to say.
Derek clung to the silence like a blanket, wishing things could go back to how they used to be. Back to when they knew how to speak to one another.
But this was enough.
It was enough to know that they were both trying. Failing. But trying.
//
2:40 PM Laura
>I’m here if you need to talk.
//
Derek isn’t good at art, but sometimes it’s the only way he can express himself. Words had never been his forte.
So instead he doodles.
Shitty toddler level doodles that he never shows anyone.
Sometimes he thinks if he could bring himself to show Laura she would like it. Maybe she would even understand it.
But there was a bigger chance that she wouldn’t, and he would feel even more like a stranger to his own sister than he already was.
//
10:18 PM Unknown Number
>I don’t remember it anymore
<You have the wrong number again
>No
>This is ‘not Lydia’ right?
<right
>So here’s the thing.
>I always thought if I needed to text her I could
>And I thought maybe I got her number wrong because I was drunk
>But I can’t remember it anymore
<Oh.
>I have some of her things still
>I don’t think I’ll ever get to return it now
>Unless she messages me first
<When did you two break up?
>Last year
>and I know what you’re thinking
>’it’s October’
>and I should be over her by now
>Trust me I know
>So you don’t need to lecture me
<I wasn’t going to
>Oh
<Stiles?
>That’s weird
<what is?
>I forgot I told you my name
<You should throw away the stuff she left behind.
>you’re right
>I don’t like it.
>but you’re right
>…thanks
<What for?
>for listening
>reading**
>my friends are pretty sick of hearing me complain
>so this is nice
<sure
<anytime
>dope
>no take backsies
<am I going to regret this?
>for definite
>you’re stuck with me now
//
That night Derek saves Stiles’ number as ‘Bad Poet’.
//
Stiles keeps messaging after that.
Stiles messages like they’ve been friends for years, and Derek very determinedly does not analyse why it is he always responds.
Even when there are messages dated from Laura from three days ago that he hasn’t even been able to bring himself to open yet.
He also ignores how when he’s messaging Stiles the gaping pit that had made residence in his chest feels just a little less inescapable.
//
Derek can’t bring himself to tell Stiles his name. He can’t bring himself open up, even though there’s a large part of him that wants to.
He’s not above admitting he’s scared.
//
Derek draws Stiles sometimes.
More accurately he draws a vague pair hands texting on a phone, because he has no idea what Stiles actually looks like.
Derek refuses to let himself dwell on that though, because they are happy drawings.
The pictures of Stiles are pretty much his only happy drawings right now.
//
They don’t always talk about Lydia.
Sometimes Stiles messages Derek song lyrics he’s working on.
Other times it’s memes, or just a bunch of emojis.
Once Stiles had just messaged him what Derek could only assume was a list of everything he had eaten that day.
Sometimes Stiles messages in rambles - and Derek can’t always keep up with the boy’s run away thoughts, but even then he never feels lost the way he does when he’s trying to interact with literally anyone else.
And sometimes it’s 2AM. Those are simultaneously Derek’s favourite and least favourite texts.
//
2:02 AM Bad Poet
>sometimes I feel like too much
>and too little
>at the same time
>u ever feel like that ET?
<not really
>its like I’m infinite, and meaningless
>like a never ending echo
>or a recurring decimal
>I just stretch on and on forever but theres no point to it
>I have no depth
<youre not meaningless
<you’re a rhythm.
<like breathing
>…
>was that a regina spektor reference?
<it might have been
>I thought you didn’t listen to music?
<well someone said her lyrics were like poetry
<so I thought I would check out a few songs
>well fuck
>what did you think?
<she’s good
>you spelt ‘amazing’ wrong
<I still prefer poetry
>of course you do
Derek stared at the texts an ache filling his chest.
Derek was the opposite of infinite. Everything he touched turned to flames.
//
10:30AM Bad Poet
<my sister bought me flower seeds
>I didn’t know you had a sister?
<she’s everything I have
>oh
<and I think she’s trying to trick me into therapy somehow
>…with flower seeds?
<yes
>you sound extremely paranoid
>maybe therapy wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for you?
<shut up
>noted.
>keep me posted on how your gardening goes
>also
>as a side note
>you know you have me too right?
>if you ever need to talk or anything, I’m right here for you
<thanks
>anytime
//
On Derek’s birthday Laura insists the two of them spend the day together, and Derek knows better than to argue.
She buys him a cake and they spend hours sat next to one another silently. Two strangers desperately trying to keep hold of one another but with an ocean dividing them.
Once their family had been so alive.
And it was all Derek’s fault that was gone.
They both knew it.
Sometimes Derek wondered if Laura hated him as much as he did.
He was too scared to ask.
//
That night Derek chased the ache in his chest away with a drink.
And then several more followed.
//
1:14 AM Bad Poet
<seh haars me
>sorry bud, you’re going to have to try again
>try spell checking before hitting send
<she.hates mee
>who?
<larn
>are you drunk?
<yeh
<tyongs ndrf
*Out Going Call: Bad Poet*
The phone rings twice before being picked up. “Sorry. Stupid keyboard is so small. Impossible to type.” Derek mumbled, his words slightly muffled by his cheek being pressed into the sofa cushion.
“Wow. You’re really sloshed huh?”
“No.” Derek denied. “Just tipsy.”
“Right. So what was it you were trying to tell me? Someone hates you?”
“Laura.”
“Who’s Laura?”
“My sister.”
“Oh.”
“She looks at me like she wishes she could fix me.”
“That doesn’t sound like she hates you, bud.”
“She should. I can’t be fixed.”
“You’re right, because you’re not broken.”
Hearing Stiles say that Derek could almost believe it to be true.
“I mean it. You’re not broken. You’re just a different shape than you used to be. But the shape you are now is beautiful.”
Derek closes his eyes and lets the words wash over him. “Do you sing?” He finds himself asking.
“What?”
“I know you write songs, but do you ever sing?”
“Oh…” Stiles sounds uncomfortable. “I guess… Yeah. I do.”
Derek hummed in the back of his throat. “I bet you have a nice voice.”
“Th-thanks.”
Derek tried to say something else, but all that comes out is a yawn, which makes Stiles let out a jittery laugh.
Derek tries to memorise the sound of It, but it’s so fleeting, it’s already slipping away from him.
“I think you need to go sleep, ET.”
“Yeah.” Derek agrees.
“Goodnight bud.”
“Wait.”
“Yeah?”
“Could you stay on the phone? Just for a bit longer.” Derek clutched on to the phone like if he could grip tightly enough it would make Stiles stay.
I don’t want to be alone. The words die on Derek’s tongue.
“Sure.” Stiles didn’t hesitate. “Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Sleep pulled at Derek’s consciousness, unravelling his grip on reality.
“Stiles?”
Stiles hummed in answer.
“Your shape is beautiful too.”
A small whimper came from the other end of the phone. “Thanks.”
//
7:50 AM Bad Poet
>how are you feeling today?
<better
>good <3
Derek holds his phone tightly and wishes that he had more to say. Just to keep the conversation going.
He also wishes (not for the first time) that Stiles was more than a faceless entity on the other end of the phone.
But it’s the first time he feels the want like a physical ache in his chest.
Derek had never been good with words, but if Stiles was here in front of him Derek would probably give him a hug.
But everything Derek touches eventually dies, and a larger part of him is relieved for the distance.
//
Derek plants the seeds his sister got him that day.
//
9:48 PM Bad Poet
>would it totally weird you out if I wanted to do another phone call?
>don’t feel like you need to say yes
>I just enjoyed talking to you
>and hearing your voice
>ugh.
>why are words so hard?
<I wouldn’t be opposed to a phone call
*Incoming Call: Bad Poet*
“Hey.” Derek feels breathless as he answers the phone, anxious excitement clawing it’s way up his throat.
“Hey.” Stiles sounds equally out of breath, and that helps.
Derek chews on his lip, scrambling for something to say. “What did you want to talk about?”
“I don’t know.” Stiles admitted. “Anything.”
“Helpful.” Derek said sarcastically.
“I mean. There’s one thing. I didn’t want to ask when you were drunk because it felt a little like taking advantage. And I don’t want you to think you have to answer-”
“Stiles.” Derek interrupts before Stiles could break into a full blown ramble.
“Tell me your name.” Stiles breaks. “Please.”
Anxiety grips his heart. But… he couldn’t stay scared forever.
“It’s Derek.”
“Derek.” Stiles repeats his name in a reverent whisper, as if committing it to memory.
And hearing Stiles say his name makes everything worth it.
//
Phone calls become a regular thing between the two of them over the next month. Always between late in the evening and the early hours of the day.
//
The next time Derek spirals he doesn’t drink before he calls Stiles, but he does cry on the phone.
The next morning he wakes up to a text from Stiles.
6:42 AM Bad Poet
>you need to talk to your sister
And Derek knows he’s right.
//
It’s not easy confronting Laura. He has two separate anxiety attacks on the walk to her apartment alone.
But he forces himself to take the dive.
“It’s okay if you hate me.” He tells her, even though it’s not okay. Laura’s hate might be the only thing in the world that could break him beyond repair.
Laura looks horrified as she stares at him. “I don’t- Obviously I don’t hate you Derek.”
“It’s my fault that they’re gone.” Derek addresses the elephant in the room.
If he hadn’t fallen in love with Kate.
If he hadn’t broken up with her, just to try and prove a point when she refused to say ‘I love you’ back…
There never would have been a fire.
Their family would still be here if it wasn’t for him.
“Fuck that!” Laura let out a harsh noise. “Derek, none of this was ever your fault. You were a kid, and even if you weren’t… You never set the fire.”
“I might as well have.”
“No. If anyone… I was your big sister- am your big sister. But I was so fucking wrapped up in myself. I didn’t even know about Kate.”
The last time Derek had seen Laura cry it had been at the funeral, so it took a second to fully sink in what he was seeing.
He found himself crying to.
“I’m so sorry, Der.”
Derek stumbled forwards pulling Laura into a crushing hug. Laura hugs him back just as tight.
They spend hours refusing to let go of one another.
//
He realises he fell asleep on Laura’s sofa when he woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. But he had no idea where it was, and he was too tired to move.
He feels Laura moving and the sound of the phone ringing gets louder before cutting off abruptly.
“Hello?”
“No - Derek’s asleep.”
“Maybe call at a more reasonable time?”
“Who is this?”
“Your voice sounds familiar.”
“Right.”
“Okay. Bye.”
Derek let sleep over take him once more.
//
2:29 AM Bad Poet
>sorry for calling so late
>you’re asleep so I’ll just take to you tomorrow
//
9:07 AM Bad Poet
<sorry, I was really tried
>no worries man
>you’re allowed to have a life outside of me
<was something wrong?
>no I was just bored, and didn’t realise how late it had gotten
>im fine
>how are you?
<im good actually
<I spoke to Laura
>yeah?
>I’m proud of you
>how’d that go?
<we both cried
<a lot
<and I ended up falling asleep on her couch
>look at you, opening up and shit.
>think I might cry now
<shut up
>literally never
>better men have tried and failed to silence me
//
2:40 PM Laura
>Want to see a movie on Friday?
<sure
//
One night Stiles calls Derek just to say his name in stupid ways, and laugh himself stupid after each one.
“Duhreek.”
“Doreck.”
“Fuck. I’m getting a stitch from laughing.”
“You’re so fucking dumb.” Derek is smiling as he said it.
“Deeruk.” Stiles wheezes out.
Derek just closes hie eyes and listens.
“I’m so fucking glad I know you, Stiles.” The words fall out of Derek’s mouth without much thought.
He only realises the weight of his words when Stile’s laughter pulls to a stop.
“I uh-” Stiles stammered. “Me too. Fuck. You’re the best thing to happen to me in…so fucking long. I’m glad I know you too Derek.”
//
Derek finally admits to himself that night that he’d fallen at least a little in love with the stranger from the unknown number.
//
He keeps trying to draw Stiles, but he can’t. Vague shapes just don’t cut it anymore.
He wants to map Stiles out with his eyes and translate it onto the page.
He wants to be able to see the smile behind the laughter.
He wants.
//
1:58 AM Bad Poet
>do you think you day we’ll actually meet?
>maybe not intentionally
>maybe one day we’d pass each other in the streets and not even know
>maybe we already have
Derek couldn’t imagine a scenario where he wouldn’t notice Stiles.
<is there ever a moment when you’re not talking?
<I think id recognise your voice and know it was you
>maybe your face would make me speechless ;)
<I think id still know
<but if you want to be sure… I could send you a picture?
<of me
>dkfajd
>for reals?
>you would do that?
>you?
<well…not for free
>there’s always a catch
>what do you want?
>my soul?
>a blood debt?
>you can have whatever it is
<I meant you’d have to send me a picture too
<geez stiles
The next text takes an unnervingly long time to come through.
>I could do that
>a photo for a photo
>I kind of look like shit rn
>so no judging me
Derek spends the next two minutes fussing and fidgeting to take a good photo. No matter what angle he took it from the bags under his eyes were noticeable, and so was the week’s worth of stubble he had yet to shave off.
And maybe this was a terrible, awful, idea.
But Derek would send one hundred bad pictures if it meant getting to see one of Stiles.
He forced himself to press send on the last picture he took.
As he pressed send another photo came in.
Derek’s fingers shook as he hit the button to download the image.
His heart stopped.
Stiles was beautiful in every sense of the word, and Derek found himself unable to look away. Even when he heard the small dings of incoming messages.
But he couldn’t ignore them for long, because it was Stiles. And when ever Stiles messaged Derek had to answer.
>Fucking hell
>are you for real?
>you gave me a heart attack
>am I being catfished right now?
>when do you think you were going to tell me you’re the most fucking beautiful man to exist ever?
>how the hell to you look like that as 2AM!?
>Derek
>oh my god
>you gotta respond my dude because I’m freaking out a little bit
>still there?
>did my selfie scare you away?
>I would have tried harder for a nice photo if I knew I was talking to an adonis
>Derek?
<still here
>of thank fuck
>so…
<so?
>come on
>your going to give me a complex
>the selfie…was it okay?
>I know it’s not much
>but we can’t all be greek gods
<its beautiful
<you’re beautiful, stiles
>oh
>thanks
//
Derek is so far gone that he makes the picture of Stiles the home screen on his phone.
//
9:49 AM Bad Poet
<Laura wants me to meet her boyfriend
<this is all your fault
>how is this my fault?
<because she never wanted to introduce us before
<and then you got me to talk to my sister
<and now she wants me to meet him
>…and this is a bad thing?
<yes
>because?
<I don’t make good first impressions
<it’s going to be awkward
>yeah probably
<you’re not helpful
>I wasn’t trying to be ;)
>have fun, Derek!
//
Meeting Laura’s boyfriend wasn’t as awkward as Derek thought it was going to be. But it was strange.
Derek hadn’t been expecting to meet someone so soft and kind. He was nothing like any one that Laura had dated before.
But he also wasn’t used to seeing Laura smile as much as she did around him.
Maybe not all change was bad.
//
Derek tells Laura about Stiles by accident. Or more accurately he mentions Stiles once by accident (not even by name) and Laura had badgered him until he admitted that he had made a friend through a wrong number.
“There’s a lot of weirdos out there.”
“I know.”
God did Derek ever know.
But Stiles is different.
“Just…be careful.”
“I am being. I promise.”
Laura reluctantly lets it go after that. “So…what’s he like?”
“He’s…he’s like bad poetry.”
“Oh god. You’re in love with him aren’t you?”
Derek can’t bring himself to deny it, but he does tell Laura to shut up.
//
Derek fully embraces being in love with Stiles on the day he tells Stiles about his drawings. He’d never told anyone about them before - not even Laura. But telling Stiles had been easy.
‘It reminds me of line art’ Stiles had said when Derek had sent him a photo of the doodle he had been working on. “I love it’.
A warmth flutters through Derek’s veins.
//
It all goes sideways on the day Laura goes on Derek’s phone to check the time.
She’d raised one eyebrow at him looking amused.
“I thought you didn’t listen to music?” She said, a teasing note to her voice.
“I don’t.” Derek shrugged.
“A huh. So why do you have a picture of Stiles Stilinski as your wallpaper?” She asks.
It’s so startling to hear Stiles name coming out of Laura’s mouth that Derek’s brain refuses to function properly. “How do you know Stiles?” He asks weakly.
Laura laughs. “He’s not exactly a niche celebrity Der. He was a really famous YouTuber before he started selling albums.”
Derek doesn’t know what to say to that. He blinks as his world slowly unravels before him.
No.
She had to be wrong, because Derek couldn’t be in love with a celebrity. Stiles couldn’t be…
“Hey are you okay? You look really sick?”
“He’s famous?” His throat is dry.
“Yes? Are you okay? What’s wrong? You’ve got to speak to me Der. Use your words.”
Derek just shakes his head because he can’t.
“It’s him.” He manages to get out.
“What are you talking about?”
“Laura. It’s him.”
It takes a moment to click but Derek knows when it does because a look of thunderous wrath takes over Laura’s face.
“I’ll kill him.” She seethes, shaking with anger. “What kind of fucking punk thinks that this is a good prank to play?”
“What?”
“No one is getting away with catfishing you, Der. I’m going to hunt this fucker down, and then I’ll rip him so many new ones that he going to look like SpongeBob when I’m done with him.”
And god, Derek hadn’t even considered the thought that Stiles might not even be Stiles. The thought of Stiles being a liar…
The gape in his heart grows a little bit bigger.
And it all falls apart.
//
It takes hours before Derek can convince himself to confront Stiles.
11:08 PM Bad Poet
<you’re stiles stilinki
>fuck
(And yeah, it was really him).
>how did you find out?
<Laura
>I was going to tell you
<Were you?
>Yes
>I’ve wanted to for ages
>It just never felt like the right time to bring it up
<I wish you had decided on the right time was sooner
>Me too
>I’m sorry
>Please don’t hate me
Derek did not think it was possible for him to hate any part of Stiles.
<I don’t
>Thank fuck
>seriously
>can I call you?
<sure
Derek closed his eyes after sending the text and waited for Stiles to ring. A heartbeat later his ringtone sounded off.
“Hey.”
“You believe me right?” And Stiles sounds more frantic than Derek had ever heard him before.
“I believe you, Stiles.”
“Are you sure, because I can prove it if you want? I can do a video call? Or I can tweet literally anythi-”
“Stiles.”
“Yeah?”
“You don’t have to prove anything to me.”
Stiles lets out a small whine, that reaches through the phone line and yanks at Derek’s already tattered heart, unraveling him just a little more.
“Meet me.” Stiles said, taking Derek by surprise.
“What?”
“Please. I meant to throw a please in there, I’m just really fucking nervous right now. Meet me please. In real life. I uh- I was going to ask when I finally told you about the whole being a celebrity thing. It’s still weird to say that out loud. That’s part of why it was so hard to tell you. But the point was you beat me to the punch with the whole reveal thing, but I still wanted to ask.”
“Stiles…”
“And it’s not that I was trying to use my influence or fame to pressure you into meeting me. I just wanted to be in a space where we were one hundred per cent honest with one another before I asked you. You can still say no. Of course you can, I don’t know why I’m- my point is I hope you don’t say no.”
Derek feels his heart break in two.
“Stiles…I can’t.”
“Oh.”
He hadn’t fully realised just how many worlds apart the two of them were when he had fallen in love with Stiles. It felt even more impossible than it had before.
“I’m sorry.” The words leave him feeling hollow.
“No. Don’t apologise. This is just me getting carried away. It’s okay.”
I love you. The words never leave Derek. They can’t leave him.
There was no way this could work, and he was far too scared of breaking the tentative connection they had with his useless words.
It was better for him to just… fall out of love.
//
6:17AM Laura
<it’s really him
>are you sure
<I’m sure
>what are you going to do?
<nothing
>Derek you’re in love with him
<I’m aware
<it doesn’t matter
<it wouldn’t ever work
>I’m sorry
<don’t be
<I’m going to be fine
>Im coming over with wine
//
That night Derek fills pages and pages of his notebook with drawings of Stiles.
When he gets a message from Stiles at 11PM- for the first time since they started messaging- Derek leaves it unopened.
//
He never ignores a message again after that, and life moves on. Stiles still messages him all the time, but he never asks to call anymore.
Derek misses his voice so much that he goes onto youtube and listens to his music.
He buys all three albums Stiles released and it still doesn’t feel like enough.
//
He fills an entire notebook with doodles of Stiles.
It’s still not enough.
//
1:11 PM Bad Poet
>I wrote you a song
>I know you don’t listen to music
>but it felt weird to not a least send you a link
>bad poetry at 2:00am
The link leads Derek to a youtube video of Stiles holding a ukulele and staring with a soft smile at the camera.
“Hey guys. It’s been a while, huh? But I guess I finally found inspiration. So here we go.”
The song is beautiful, but even more beautiful than that was Stiles.
When the song reached the end Derek doesn’t hesitate to hit replay.
He listens to the song ten times before he realises he’s crying - and he knows that he’s never going to ‘get over’ Stiles because he doesn’t want to.
//
3:00 PM Laura
>have you seen the video?
<he sent me a link
<he wrote a song for me Laura
<I love him so fucking much and he wrote a song for me
>fuck
<what do I do?
>what do you want to do?
<I don’t know
>I think you should look at his twitter
<?
>I wasn’t going to say anything because you said you wanted to get over him
>but I think you need to see it
>@stilesstilinki
//
@stilesstilinski
I want to hug him
@stilesstilinski
Get you a guy that will stay up with you until 4AM talking about literally anything
@stilesstilinski
Why do I alway fall for people so far out of my league? rip me I guess.
@stilesstilinski
He makes me want to write poetry
Derek spends hours scrolling through Stiles’ twitter.
He scrolls far enough back that he gets to the part of his timeline where his twitter is littered with pictures of Lydia, which causes the ache in Derek’s chest to grow. But he can’t stop looking because Stiles looks so happy.
And Derek falls impossibly more in love.
He lets himself acknowledge for the first time that Stiles might love him back.
And everything else?
It’s worth it.
Because Stiles is worth everything to Derek.

2:00 AM Bad Poet

Noise : Neighbour!Cal
Summary: Annabelle’s new neighbour is a douche bag man whore, but he insists that his ego isn’t the biggest part of him.
Warnings: there is smut
OC moodboard
Requested by @palliddark
Word count: 13.7k
------
Annabelle had arrived home after a New Years party at around nine in the morning on the first of January. It was moving day, and the apartment next to hers, that had been vacant for two months, was no longer empty. She caught sight of a tall blonde disappearing into the apartment with a box in his arms as she walked down the hall. Her heart thumped a little, having only gotten a glimpse, but it was enough to make her excited.
He looked young, early twenties, around Annabelle’s age, and he was cute. Maybe a little different from her usual type, but still attractive nonetheless. Annabelle approached her apartment, fumbling with the keys. She had just unlocked her door when another man left the newly rented suite next to hers.
It wasn’t the blonde from before.
Annabelle tried not to look, but she couldn’t help herself, taking in the strong shoulders, the bleach blonde hair with already darkening roots, strong jaw, tan skin covered in tattoos and beautiful eyebrows. She’d never seen eyebrows that she’d classify as ‘beautiful’ before and yet there she was, thinking about how they perfectly suited his face, bringing out the strong, boxiness of his jawline.
The guy looked her up and down as he walked past, a small smirk on his face. Annabelle flushed, having been caught staring at the man.
He walked behind her and continued down the hall, Annabelle waited a suitable amount of time before turning to watch his figure get farther and farther away.
The grey sweatpants looked comfy, and Annabelle found herself appreciating his bum. Gaze sweeping over the strong shoulders covered by a a black v-neck stretched taught over the muscle, Annabelle’s breath was caught in her throat.
Continuing with her day, Annabelle nursed her hangover, binging netflix and getting started on course reading for school. She went to bed early, having not gotten much sleep the night before.
At around one AM, the noises started.
It began with a dull thudding, steady and slow. At first, Annabelle even thought she was hearing things, maybe someone walking down the hall too loudly. But then the pace of the thumps got quicker and Annabelle’s eyes opened, staring at her ceiling in the darkness of her room.
A soft sound mingled with the beat, but that too, got louder. Annabelle groaned, reaching for her phone but she stopped as the sound hit a new pitch, and even half asleep, the reality of what the noise was, smacked Annabelle from her post slumber daze.
The guy in the apartment next to her, was fucking someone.
Fucking someone hard, fast, and, if Annabelle could assume anything from the noise level, he was fucking her very well.
Annabelle groaned, hiding her head in her pillow, she supposed there were worse ways to christen a new apartment. She’d spent her whole first night puking after a housewarming party that she should not have had in the first place.
She laid there for a few minutes, listening to the sounds. She wondered which boy it was. The blonde or the ashy haired one.
It had been about ten minutes and Annabelle assumed it would be ending soon so she could go back to sleep. Ten minutes became fifteen and Annabelle had sat up by that point, scrolling through her phone to pass the time.
At twenty minutes the sounds finally stopped and Annabelle put her phone away, cuddling back into her pillow.
Just as Annabelle was drifting off again, there was a small screaming sound that made her eyes snap back open with worry. For a moment, the worst things imaginable popped into her head. God, what if her new neighbour was an asshole who hit women? What if they were sleep talkers or had night terrors that woke them up screaming every night? What if-
More thuds cut off Annabelle’s thoughts.
She turned and stared at her wall as if it could give her a glimpse into the room next door.
It had only been about ten minutes since the noises had stopped and now they were going again? Annabelle had to give the guy, whichever one it was, some credit. In another instance, she might have even felt a bit of pride for the guy, after all, stamina and skill to make a girl scream? But he was interrupting her sleep.
In that moment, Annabelle decided that whoever the guy was, she hated him.
All she could do was lay there and listen, hoping his stamina would finally run out, and vowing to go buy some ear plugs in the morning.
----
With her busy schedule, Annabelle had not had time to go grab ear plugs, or maybe she was just lazy, too exhausted after classes and studying to walk the block to the store. It took a whole week of interrupted sleep for Annabelle to finally go get ear plugs. The store was open late, closing at 2AM and she’d arrived just in time, trudging to the till in an oversized hoodie.
When she got back to her apartment, she was almost too tired to get her key into the keyhole. The sound of a door opening drew her attention and Annabelle looked up.
She hadn’t seen the new neighbour since he’d moved in and she was curious to finally find out which guy was the one keeping her up all night, and not in a good way.
A girl walked backwards out of the apartment. She was smiling at someone who Annabelle assumed was in the doorway but she couldn’t see from her angle.
“So call me?” the girl asked, arms going up to reach for whoever was standing just out of Annabelle’s view.
Annabelle watched the girl pull the man who had been hidden from her gaze into a hug and, for the first time, she could see him. It was the ashy haired guy. The one who’d made her heart race.
“Yeah, I’ll call you.” the guy grumbled.
He was shirtless and the grey sweatpants hung low on his hips. Annabelle could see the muscles in his abdomen and the strength in his arms and for a moment she thought she was about to start drooling.
He didn’t sound like he was going to call the girl back.
The girl went in for a kiss and the mans hand came up to cup her face, Annabelle spotted more tattoos and she looked away, still paying attention through her peripheral vision. After one last goodbye, the girl turned to leave, walking past Annabelle who turned the key to unlock her door.
She could feel eyes on her and although she didn’t want to, Annabelle found herself looking up.
Her new neighbour stood there, leaning against the wall, brown eyes bearing into hers. His arms were crossed over his strong chest and his biceps bulged deliciously, “hey.” he said. His voice was low, raspy, and it had Annabelle’s heart fluttering in her chest.
“Hi.”
She wanted to call him out for keeping her awake the past three nights in a row but there was something so intimidating about him, she couldn’t bring herself to.
“I’m Calum.”
“Annabelle.”
He nodded, giving her one last look up and down, “Night Belle.”
Before she could correct him, tell him that people called her ‘Anna’ never ‘Belle,’ he had gone back into his apartment and the door had shut behind him.
Annabelle sighed, “douchebag.”
---
“Do you even work?” Annabelle groaned, pulling out her keys as a redhead walked down the hall.
Calum eyed her, face expressionless, “what?”
“Its like every time im home, all I can hear is you fucking your girlfriend-”
“Not my girlfriend.”
“Yeah, that makes it better.” Annabelle scoffed.
“Maybe I’m a prostitute.” Calum said.
Annabelle looked up, noticing the grin on his face. He was teasing her. This fuck had been her neighbour for three months and had given her more sleepless nights than she could count, and now he was joking about being a prostitute.
“Oh and you’re so good your clients come to you?”
“They come for me.” Calum stated, “and, as my neighbour, you should know that at least that’s the truth.” he turned to go back into his apartment.
“Fifty bucks.” she called.
“What?” he looked at her, eyebrows furrowed.
“Fifty bucks is how much money I’ve spent on ear plugs so far so that I can get through one god damned night. The ones I bought the first week weren’t strong enough apparently so I had to go for some actual construction grade shit.”
Calum studied her for a moment, then, he pushed off the wall, walking the short distance to Annabelle. He pulled out his wallet from his back pocket and removed three twenties, holding them out to her.
When Annabelle didn’t accept the cash, Calum rolled his eyes, one hand coming up to brush her blonde hair over her shoulder. His fingers moved her shirt to the side slightly to expose her black, lacy bra strap and he slipped the money underneath, securing it.
Annabelle’s heart was racing from the touch of his skin against hers and she felt frozen under his intimidating gaze. He turned and walked back to his apartment, “next time, I’ll put my hand over their mouths, keep it quieter for you.”
----
Annabelle was locking her door when the sound of Calum’s door opening interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and laughed, “wow, this is the first time since you moved in that I’ve seen you with a shirt.”
“Sorry.” he said, eyes scanning her as well.
“Sorry? Seriously?” Annabelle laughed, “I prefer the shirt.”
“No you don’t.”
Annabelle rolled her eyes, “what are you even doing awake this early?”
“I have work.”
“So the prostitute thing didn’t work out for ya?”
“Ha ha.” Calum said sarcastically, “where are you headed?”
“School.”
“Hmm.” he finished locking up his place and approached her, hands shoved into his leather jacket. Annabelle had to admit he looked great. The gray sweats were a look but black ripped jeans and black leather… the full black outfit contrasted the ashy silver hair and brought out the darkness in his eyes. He was a vision. “What year are you?”
“Last one. Almost done.”
He leaned against the wall and watched her lock her door, “what are you taking?”
“Psychology.”
Calum chuckled, grin spreading across his features and turning him from a ten into a fourteen or some shit, something that broke the scale, Annabelle was sure of that at least.
“What?” Annabelle asked, putting her keys into her bag.
“No, it’s nothing, just,” Calum was still grinning, “what’s your read on me then?”
“My read on you?”
“Yeah. Tell me about my dark childhood trauma.”
“I don’t know you.”
“Well, from what you do know.” Calum said.
Annabelle looked the gorgeous man up and down, “where do I even start with you?”
Calum shrugged, “up to you doc.”
Annabelle rolled her eyes, “I’m going to be late.”
“You’re headed to campus?”
“Yeah.”
“Taking the subway?”
“Uh huh.”
“What if I give you a ride?”
She was running late… “you’d do that?”
“You give me a therapy sesh, I give you a ride. Seems pretty even to me.” Calum shrugged, “I’m headed that way anyways. Take it or leave it Belle.”
“Stop calling me Belle, people call me Anna, Belle sounds too much like-”
“A princess?”
“Yeah.”
“And you’re not a princess?”
Annabelle narrowed her eyes at him, “no, of course not.”
“Sure little miss ‘I can’t sleep because you keep fucking girls and I had to pay fifty bucks to get ear plugs and you have to pay me back-’”
“I never said you had to pay me back.”
“But I did.”
“But I didn’t say you had to. You just wanted to. You wanted to flaunt your money at me.” Annabelle glared.
“Oh yeah? And why would I do that?”
“I accept your ride.”
“Hmm, wanna have the guarantee of a chauffeur before you tear into me princess?” Calum grinned.
“Yeah.” Calum pushed off the wall and began walking down the hall, Annabelle followed, falling into step with him. They stayed quiet as they took the elevator down to the parking garage.
Calum pulled out his keys and Annabelle looked at all the cars, trying to decide which one she felt belonged to a guy like Cal. her eyes spotted the old, sleak, black camaro and she just knew that it was his.
“What did you say your job was again?” she asked, watching him unlock it.
“I didn’t.” he got in the car and closed the door but Annabelle stood there looking at the car with awe. She didn’t know much about cars, but she could tell when something was expensive and this car… it was nice. Very nice.
Calum leaned over in his seat and opened the passengers door, pushing it open a little and prompting Annabelle to get in. The car smelt a little like smoke and expensive cologne, a mix that wasn’t wholly unpleasant, but it definitely would take some getting used to.
“Are you seriously not going to tell me what you do for work?” Annabelle asked.
“That would make it too easy and we don’t want that do we?” Calum smirked, pressing down on the gas pedal, “you ravage me or I ravage you princess, your decision.”
Annabelle rolled her eyes, holding her backpack tight to her chest, “quit being such a dick.”
“I’m literally giving you a ride to school, how am I being a dick?”
“Why do you seem so obsessed with me giving you a psychological profile?”
Calum sighed loudly, “fine. Don’t pay up for the ride.”
Annabelle groaned, turning to look at Calum. Even his side profile was beautiful and it made her angry, “well, I guess I’ll start out with the physical-”
“As one does.” he grinned, looking at her for a moment before turning his gaze back to the road.
“You obviously work out, your hair is dyed and you have tattoos. You care about your appearance. Before today I’d only seen you in sweats but now that I’m looking at you with actual clothes, you obviously have style too. And that’s real leather. And this is a nice car. So you have money. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen you leave your place in the morning so you don’t have a regular nine to five job but you have money so…” Annabelle thought about it for a moment, “you seem kind of arrogant… confident, so I’m going to guess your money runs in your family. Am I right?”
“Do you think you’re right?” he countered.
“Are you going to confirm or deny any of this?” Annabelle sighed.
“Nah.”
“Fuck you.”
“You wish.”
“I do not.”
“Yes you do.”
“Pff, and what makes you so sure?” Annabelle rolled her eyes.
“You’re the psychologist.”
“I’m not a psychologist.”
“Coulda fooled me.” Calum reached forward and the sound of music began to fill the car.
“Conversation over I guess.”
“Do you have something else to say to me?” he asked.
Annabelle opened her mouth then closed it, shaking her head.
Calum turned the music up and Annabelle laughed, “are you serious?”
He flashed her a grin, “what, you don’t like Country Roads?”
Before Annabelle could answer, her asshole neighbour opened his mouth and began to sing along to the music. Every word was accentuated with a southern twang that made Annabelle laugh, staring at the guy with shock.
Her asshole neighbour, who fucked a new girl every night, was covered in tattoos and leather, hair dyed and just itching to have fingers running through it… was singing a country song like he was in a dodgy karaoke bar with no one watching.
He was really throwing a wrench in her whole psychological profile of him and the shit eating grin on his face told her he knew it.
“Not a fan of country Princess? Too hick for you?” Calum asked, changing the channel, he flipped through songs, listening a few moments before deciding against a number of top tens until he found… “Bohemian fucking Rhapsody, you have to like this one or I will pull over this fucking car and kick you out.”
“Are you serious?”
“Don’t I look serious to you?”
He did.
“Sing.” he commanded.
Annabelle took a deep breath and began to sing.
Calum turned up the music, screaming out the lyrics. He wanted her to sing, but he was making it obvious that it was just a formality. His eyes stayed on the road and before Annabelle knew what she was even doing, she was singing louder.
By the time they got to the chorus, they were both belting out the lyrics.
In those moments, they weren’t neighbours. He wasn’t the guy who kept her up all night by being a dick and she wasn’t the cute girl next door who he hoped to bump into every time he left his place.
They were just two kindred souls, in a car, sharing an extraordinary experience.
As Calum pulled up in front of one of the main campus buildings, the song ended.
“So uh… thanks for the ride.” Annabelle said, awkwardness returning.
“Don’t mention it.”
Annabelle got out of the car, closing the door behind her.
Calum watched her disappear into one of the buildings. He was about to drive away when his phone rang, his sister’s face on the screen, “I’m coming, I’m coming.” he said as he answered it.
“You better have a great excuse as to why you’re making the whole board wait for you Cal.” she seethed, “mom and dad are going to be pissed-”
“I gave a ride to my neighbour, I’m trying to make friends.” he lied.
“I still don’t know why you even moved out to some shit apartment when mom literally offered to get you a penthouse-”
“I don’t want a penthouse.” Calum groaned, “i want to be normal.”
“You’re not normal Cal, you’re a Hood-”
“Look I’ll be there soon okay?”
“You better be wearing something nice.”
Calum chuckled, “put on my nicest pair of ripped jeans just for you.”
“Calum I swear to god if you weren’t so fucking good at business-”
“Yeah yeah, but I am, so deal with it.”
“Just get here.”
“Fuck, I just told you i’m coming!”
She hung up and Calum laughed to himself, turning up the radio, enjoying the lingering smell of coconut that Annabelle had left in his car.
---
Annabelle had had a better sleep that week than she’d had since Calum moved in. She wondered if he’d gone away for a bit on vacation, but she tried not to think about it, instead enjoying the quiet.
But nothing good lasts forever and on Saturday morning she was awoken around nine in the morning by music seeping through her walls. Annabelle groaned and sat up, listening for a moment. She could hear Calum’s voice amongst the noise and a smile worked its way onto her face.
Slipping out of bed and into her fuzzy pink flip flops, Annabelle pulled on her uni hoodie. Her sleeping shorts were small and the hoodie almost obscured them, acting more as a dress but Annabelle didn’t care about her appearance as she trudged through her apartment.
She found herself in front of his door, like so many women before her.
Annabelle knocked and waited. The music must have been too loud for him to hear so she held up her hand to knock again and the door swung open. He was standing there, shirtless as usual. His ashy hair was messy and it was a good look, it even knocked the air out of Annabelle.
“Your music is loud.” she said.
“Did it wake you up?” he asked, grinning as he leaned against his door frame.
“Yes.”
“Are you mad?” his smile widened.
“No Cal, I’m peachy, look at me, I look completely well rested and happy right?” she asked sarcastically.
“First, since when did I say you could call me Cal? Second, you look very cute and well rested and maybe you don’t know this, but you always look very happy whenever you see me, except last time but I assumed that’s because I was wearing a shirt.”
“I can call you Cal because you call me Belle, and piss off, I look like trash. Just turn it down all right?”
She turned to go, “you hungry?”
Annabelle stopped, “uh… yeah?”
“I made pancakes, come have some.” Calum moved to the side, giving her space to walk past him into his apartment if she chose to.
“Pancakes with chocolate chips?” she asked.
“Pfff, of course, I’m not a fucking animal.”
The smell of food wafted out of his apartment and Annabelle just couldn’t help herself. She walked past Calum and inside.
It was odd. Exactly like hers but everything seemed more modern. All the appliances were new, a huge tv was against the wall with multiple gaming consoles underneath, a plush couch, it was a hell of a lot nicer than Annabelle’s place based solely on the things that filled it.
“Is that a waffle iron?” Annabelle asked, stepping into the kitchen.
“Yeah.”
“Do you use it?”
“Haven’t yet.”
“Yeah you are definitely old money.” Annabelle said, leaning against the kitchen counter and watching Calum return to his post in front of a pan where a pancake was cooking.
“Shit, maybe I shouldn’t have invited you in, now you’ll know all my secrets.” Calum laughed, running a hand through his messy hair.
“Too late now.” Annabelle said, looking around, “you know how to cook. You have money but you’re here, in this apartment. You can pretend to be living amongst us middle class uni students but your appliances and your car tell the true story, don’t they Cal?”
His smile was gone and Annabelle knew that she’d hit it spot on.
“Why do you want to be so common Calum? Why here? Why a place where the walls are so thin that people can hear all of your business?” she asked.
Calum took the pancake from the pan and put it onto a plate. He slid it in front of Annabelle and then grabbed a fork and knife, giving it to her. A muscle in his jaw feathered and he poured more batter into the pan. “Wanted to see what it’s like to live alone for a bit.”
“But you’re never alone.” Annabelle pointed out, “besides this past week, you’ve had a girl over almost every night, and judging from the beer cans in the living room, it looks like you’ve had at least friends or someone over this week, I probably just didn’t notice because I’ve been at school a lot.”
“You like keeping track of me huh?” Calum asked, suddenly sounding mad.
“You’re loud.” Annabelle said, also getting defensive, “it’s not like I do it on purpose. Besides, you invited me to analyze you so I don’t see why you’re having such a fit over this. ‘Ravage me or I ravage you’ remember?”
His grip on the spatula tightened. “So you have me figured out then.”
“I wouldn’t say that.” Annabelle sighed, taking a bite of pancake, “look man, I can stop analyzing you if you don’t like it but you asked me too-”
“Well I didn’t think you’d actually fucking get anything right.”
“Oh wow thanks.” Annabelle glared, “you know what, thanks for the pancake but you obviously don’t want me here.” she stood up abruptly and he didn’t react as she simply left. The door shut behind her and Calum cursed, slamming his hand down on the table.
It was a touchy subject for him. He had his mother, his father and his sister all riding his ass about this “dumb fuck idea” every single god damned day. None of them thought he could make it in life on his own and although he had moved out and got some cheap apartment, obviously that wasn’t enough.
As Annabelle had pointed out, he still had a bunch of unnecessary, expensive shit that betrayed his true nature the moment anyone stepped into the fucking apartment.
Calum had hated growing up with all the expectations. The knowledge that he’d be part of the family business. He’d tried to work for things in his life but even though he tried, things always seemed to be given to him. Everything was made easier because of his name.
The worst part about it, was that Calum actually had a knack for business.
No problem was too difficult for him to solve and he had a natural air of superiority that made people listen to him. He was young, tattooed and his new hair colour had nearly given his mother a heart attack when he’d walked into the boardroom with it, but damn it if people didn’t shut their mouths and pay attention the second he showed up.
Well, most people shut their mouths and paid attention.
But not Annabelle. She always had something interesting to say. Something to keep Calum on his toes. Something that made him work, like he’d never had to work in his life.
However, if their interaction was anything to go by, Calum realized that he was really shit at working. He’d never had to work for a girl, they were always throwing themselves at him. Whether they knew about his family name and reputation, or they just saw his devilishly good looks and their panties dropped, it always ended the same way.
Standing in his kitchen, Calum began to feel the weight of being alone again.
He managed to ignore it for a few hours, but, as darkness descended, the thought of going to an empty bed for a seventh night in a row just didn’t seem so nice.
He felt stupid. Had he really been choosing not to call a fuck buddy because he felt something for Annabelle? Calum nearly kicked himself, stupid, stupid, stupid.
He pulled out his phone.
----
Another few weeks passed and Calum never seemed to be able to catch the blonde in the hallway. Calum was on edge. It was all he could think about. He owed her an explanation. He owed her an apology. He tried to catch her in the hall but things never seemed to work.
Every time he watched a girl retreat down the hallway at around two AM, he’d look at Annabelle’s door, hoping it would open and she’d be standing there ready to call him out for keeping her awake.
Even if she was mad, at least he’d be able to see her.
He knew it probably wasn’t the best idea in the world but he wasn’t sure what else he could do.
It was a Saturday and Calum’s friends were over. They had been drinking since noon and all of them were inebriated. It became obvious as time went on that Calum was upset about something and Luke, having always been quite a direct person, was the first to say “why are you sad Cal?”
“I’m not sad.”
“Yes you are.” Luke insisted, “you keep staring at that wall.”
It was true. Calum had been staring at the wall for a while, wondering what Annabelle was doing on the other side of it. “It’s my fucking neighbour-”
“The hot blonde?” Michael asked, eyes still on the tv as he played Mario Kart against Ashton.
“Yeah. Belle- Annabelle.” Calum corrected himself, taking a swig of beer.
“She’s the chick that analyzed you and pissed you off right?” Ashton asked.
“Yeah.”
“What a bitch.” Luke stated.
“She’s not a bitch.” Calum said immediately.
“Yeah, Calum’s the bitch.” Michael giggled, “you know how much of a little bitch he is about being a pampered rich boy.”
“Fuck off Michael.”
“You see?” Michael grinned, making everyone laugh.
“Fuck!” Calum groaned.
“So like… go talk to her.” Luke suggested.
“What?!” Calum asked.
“Punch a hole through the wall and go talk to her.” Luke said louder.
“Or use the door.” Ashton piped up, “she’s right there man, go get her.”
“I can’t-”
“Why?”
“I was a dick-”
Michael laughed, “when are you not a dick.”
“Fuck off.”
“Just apologize!” Luke screamed.
“Take another shot, then go apologize.” Ashton said, louder than Luke.
With shaky hands, Luke poured Calum a shot and handed it to him. Calum drank it quickly and Luke pulled him to his feet, “now go fucking get her!”
Calum nodded, feeling the courage running through his body, he took a deep breath then walked towards the door. “Wait!” he stopped, “i need to take my shirt off.”
“What?”
“She likes it better with my shirt off.” Calum insisted.
Everyone looked at him and Luke was the first to go “then take it off man! What the fuck are you waiting for!?”
Calum took his shirt off and everyone cheered as he left his apartment, walking with a purpose down the hallway. He knocked on her door and waited. “Just a second!” he heard. His heart was racing, pumping blood through his body and he felt it everywhere.
Annabelle opened the door and her eyes widened in shock, “Calum?”
“Hey.”
“Hi…” she looked him up and down, “why aren’t you wearing a shirt?”
Calum looked down at himself, “uh… you like me better this way.”
“Calum are you drunk?”
“I want you to analyze me again.” he stated.
“I don’t think that’s a good-”
“You ravage me or I ravage you remember princess?” Calum grinned.
“Calum-”
“Five.”
“Are you counting down?”
“Four.”
“Calum stop.”
“Three.” his smirk widened.
“I swear-”
“Two.”
“To god Calum I’ll-”
“One.” he grabbed her face, pressing his lips against hers. Annabelle was taken aback for a second but she melted into it after a moment, letting Calum’s tongue slide over her lower lip as she opened her mouth to give him more access.
Her hands reached out, grabbing the waistband of his sweatpants to pull him closer as his teeth nipped at her. She could taste the alcohol on him and for a moment she felt like maybe she should pull away, but, before she could, he had moved forward and they were in her apartment, her back against a wall as he kicked the door closed behind him.
His skin was warm under her touch as she let her hands wander the perfect muscles under the gorgeous skin. Her nails scratched over his sensitive flesh and Calum groaned into her mouth, the sound making Annabelle’s stomach flutter.
Calum tensed under her finger tips and and she pulled away with concern, looking at him. Before she could ask what was wrong, he was running past her to the bathroom, puking into the toilet. Annabelle went after him, sitting on the floor next to her neighbour as he coughed and sputtered. She poured him some water from the sink and held it out for him, rubbing his back with a hand.
He pulled away from the toilet and looked at her from under hooded eyes, “fuck.” he groaned, hiding his face with his hands, “fuuuuck.”
“Don’t worry Cal, I’m not judging you, have some water.” she assured him, holding it out.
He accepted it and drank, handing her back the cup, “I should go-” he began to try to get up but doubled over, puking into the toilet again.
Annabelle continued to rub his back. His hair was sweaty and stuck to his forehead so she pushed it away, enjoying the odd feeling of the dyed strands against her fingers. She continued to massage at his head and it seemed to offer some relief as he closed his eyes, sitting up and taking deep breaths.
“I’m sorry.” he groaned.
“Shh, it’s okay, you’re drunk.”
“Im an asshole.” he stated, “you hate me.”
“I don’t hate you.”
“I was a dick to you.”
“We can talk about this later-”
“I’m so sorry.” Calum groaned, “I don’t like people knowing I’m rich. They treat me differently.”
He puked again and Annabelle sighed, rubbing his back, “shh baby-”
“Baby?” he turned and grinned at her, “I’m baby now?”
“Calum-”
“Baby.” he corrected.
Annabelle sighed, “I’ll be right back.”
“Don’t leave.”
“This is my apartment.” she reminded him.
“Right.” he watched her exit the bathroom.
A short while later she came back with two pillows and two blankets. She set them up and put a blanket over Calum’s shoulders which is when he realized he was shivering, “you should have worn a shirt.”
“But then you wouldn’t love me.” Calum whined.
“Woah-” Calum puked again and Annabelle sighed. He’d been keeping her up all night for weeks and now he was going to be doing it yet again.
He only puked a little while longer before collapsing on the floor and mumbling something about being tired. Annabelle appreciated how peaceful he looked for a moment, before he was dragging her down next to him. Suddenly Annabelle was a big spoon and her little spoon was a massive, tattooed, drunk, manwhore.
----
Calum blinked, trying to get a sense of where he was. His head hurt and little blurred memories of the night before flashed through his head. He froze, realizing that an arm was slung over his side and it was obviously Annabelle’s.
Shit. She was still there. On her bathroom floor, spooning him. Because he had gotten drunk, like a little pussy bitch.
He was so screwed.
“You awake?” came a small voice.
Fuck.
“Yeah.”
“How do you feel?”
“Not that bad.”
“Must have puked everything out last night.” her arm slid away and Calum’s skin mourned the loss, feeling cold where she’d left.
“I’m sorry.” he said.
“Stop saying that.” Annabelle sighed.
“Shit.” Calum groaned.
“What?”
“My friends are probably still at my place.”
“Your friends?” Annabelle groaned, “you had friends last night who could have taken care of you but you came here? Shit, I thought you were getting drunk alone on a Saturday, only reason I let you in.”
Calum was about to feel bad when he looked at her and realized by her smile that she was teasing, “I should go then?”
“Probably, I have to study, I have a test tomorrow morning.”
“Shit. What time?”
“Early. Like nine.” Annabelle sighed, “so if you could refrain from getting a tinder date tonight, I would appreciate it.”
Calum sat up, grabbing onto the edge of the tub to push himself up. Annabelle’s hand came to steady him and he offered her a small smile, gaze lingering on their interlocked fingers as she helped him to the door to the hallway. He got two steps before stumbling and suddenly she was under one of his arms, hands supporting him to his door.
He gave her the keys and she unlocked the door for him. The two entered and there was a small groan from the living room.
Ashton was laying on the couch, hands over his face, “Cal?”
“Yeah, where are Mike and Luke?”
“Bathroom.”
“Okay, I’m going to go-” Annabelle began.
The sound of a female voice made Ashton sit up, groaning as he squinted at her, “you’re the girl- fuck, I know your name, you’re uh… uh…” he snapped his fingers, “the princess-”
“Annabelle.” Calum said,
She looked at him, he’d never called her by her full name and oddly enough, part of her missed just ‘Belle.’
“She’s real pretty Cal.” Ashton said, falling back down against the couch and covering his eyes, “did you apologize?”
Annabelle laughed, “I’m going to head out.”
She detached herself from Calum’s side and he watched her go, “don’t die.” she called.
“Thanks.” he said, slouching to the floor as the door closed behind her.
There was a sound from the bathroom and Luke crawled through the doorway, resting his face against the ground, “did you kiss her?”
Calum groaned, remembering everything more clearly, “fuck.”
“Did you puke in her mouth?” came the sound of Michael’s voice from the bathroom.
“No but I almost did.”
Luke smiled against the floor, “You’re fucked man.”
-----
She was going to be so late.
Annabelle rushed around her apartment, tossing her bag over her shoulder as she threw her door open, almost running directly into Calum who was standing there in the hallway. “Cal?”
“Hey, I thought I’d give you a ride to school for your test.” he said.
In that moment she could have fucking kissed the man.
“Oh my god yes please.” she breathed, quickly locking her apartment, “you’re such a life saver. How are you feeling?”
“Uh, I mean, I’m not hungover anymore which is nice. Thanks again for uh, taking care of me that night.” he said awkwardly, running a hand through his hair.
“Don’t mention it.” she said. And she meant it.
Annabelle had no idea what to think about that night. She didn’t know what he remembered, didn’t know what actions had been genuine and what had been caused by the booze. And she couldn’t afford to think about it, she had a test to worry about.
They got into Calum’s car and as he pressed down on the gas he said: “my family runs a business. Put a lot of pressure on me when I was growing up. Been trying to get away for a bit, but uh, probably going to go back to it so I don’t know who i’m trying to kid anymore.”
Annabelle studied him, “do you not like business?”
“No I do, and I guess I’m good at it, I just, wanted to work for something, you know?”
“Working for your family business isn’t working?” she asked.
“I mean it is, but I didn’t have to work to get the job-”
“But you just said you’re good at it.” Annabelle pointed out, “sounds like you deserve the job. Unless you think they wouldn’t hire you if you weren’t related to your family.”
He considered it for a moment. “I guess I’ve never really asked myself that.”
“You seem like you put a lot of pressure on yourself Cal, might be one of the reasons you self medicate so much.” Annabelle said, looking out the window.
“You think I’m an alcoholic?”
“Not necessarily booze dummy, but you do seem to need a lot of distraction, lady distraction.” Annabelle pointed out.
“About that-”
“You don’t have to explain yourself, being a manwhore is chill, kudos to you-”
“I’m not a manwhore.”
“Manwhoresayswhat?”
“What?” Calum furrowed his eyebrows, sneaking a glance at her before realizing he’d fallen into her juvenile trap when she giggled, “wow. What a professional therapist you are, princess.”
Annabelle grinned, “you fell for it.”
“Well I’m tired, didn’t sleep well.”
“Why’s that?”
“Bed was cold.” Calum answered.
Annabelle opened her mouth to say something but she realized he was parking, he had gotten her to campus, “thank you so much for the ride, it really helped-”
“Good luck.” he said, hands fidgeting with the steering wheel.
“Thanks.”
She opened the door.
“Maybe you need a good luck kiss?”
Annabelle laughed, turning to look at him, “hmm, maybe,” she looked out the windshield, “who do you think seems suitable to give me one? That guy walking by right now looks cute-”
Calum scoffed, “get out of my car.”
“Cal.”
He turned to look at her “wha-” but her lips were on his. Hands cupping his face, Annabelle could feel the slight stubble under her fingers and it made her smile into the kiss. He smiled back, she pulled away and their eyes fluttered open, admiring each other.
“Thanks for the luck.” she said.
His eyes flickered down to her lips but before he could go in for another kiss she was getting out of the car. She looked back once and Calum smiled. His heart was still racing in his chest as he drove home, once again enjoying the smell of coconuts.
---
The first thing Annabelle wanted to do when she got out of the exam was call Calum. Which made zero sense to her seeing as A: he wasn’t her friend, B: she had no clue what he was, and C: she didn’t even have his phone number.
She liked their teasing. She enjoyed looking at his face. And when he was drunk, well, that had been a new side to him that she never thought she would ever see, but she also hadn’t expected the guy to listen to Queen or John Denver either so he was full of surprises.
Standing in the subway, Annabelle thought a lot about Calum.
He was an interesting guy, that was sure.
Sex addiction? Check.
Devilishly good looks? Check.
Rich? Check.
Probably in the midst of an identity crisis? Check.
He was ticking all of the boxes she hadn’t even known she had. And Annabelle had to admit, some of these boxer were definitely not good boxes. The identity crisis? Not good. And the sex addiction that had been keeping her up every night and not because she was the one getting dicked down? Very bad. Kind of annoying. Kind of aggravating actually.
She had no idea what was going on in his head. She usually knew that sort of thing. But with Calum? Annabelle figured maybe he wanted something more from her, she couldn’t think of any other guy who would offer to drive her to school for an exam. But, who knew? Maybe it was all a lie. After all, she was a perfect option as a fuck buddy seeing as they lived next to each other.
Annabelle had never been trusting of men. Always second guessing everything. It was one of the reasons she’d gone into psychology. An effort to learn just a little bit more, to figure people out. But, obviously, it wasn’t working that well on Calum and that annoyed her.
She got back to the apartment and walked quietly down the hall, entering her place without bumping into the bleach blonde god who lived next door. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing, or a bad thing.
-------
He’d dated before.
It was sort of expected for him to date. Encouraged for Calum to be in the same circles as other wealthy young adults. With his last name, Calum Hood was chased by anyone who knew anything about business and he’d always had his choice of the gorgeous rich girls.
They had expensive cars, arguably too much plastic surgery, walk in closets and usually a pomeranian or two (or sometimes a greyhound). There had even been a rumor that a number of the girls who wanted to lock the young bachelor down had, in fact, bought a dog with the explicit motive of grabbing the known dog lovers attention. None of it had ever worked though.
Yeah, they were good for a fuck, but the rich girls always wanted something more, or at least the ones pining after Calum Hood did.
Calum had always given the girls a chance… not at love, but at a good time.
It was easy enough for them to get blinded by his good looks and charm, neglecting to ask the questions “what does this mean” or “what do you want from me” until after he’d bedded them. Most assumed that a mumbled response to them asking “call me?” as he kicked them out was a legitimate affirmation, only to be sorely mistaken a week later when they’re phone had gone unrung.
The good ones, he kept around as fuck buddies, but he made sure that they knew what they were agreeing too, like a business contract.
But he’d never consider actually dating any of them.
In some ways, he enjoyed the power that came with his reputation. The ability to have his choice of women every night. But, at the same time, there was something about it that threw him off. The girls he got with never asked questions, never did anything to make him upset or challenge him. After all, they knew his reputation so why would they challenge him?
It was one of the things that made Annabelle so endearing.
She talked back.
And she had no clue who he was.
She’d guessed he had money but Calum knew that she probably had no clue just how much money he had.
And he liked that.
But did he like it enough to ditch all his other girls?
He’d tried that. And it had been a shit week. He was into Annabelle for sure, but he still needed to have his needs met.
Buried in a brunette who was heiress to a pharmaceutical company, Calum found himself wondering how Annabelle had done on her test. He tried to brush away the thought, knowing that she was a smart girl and she probably did fine.
But what if she hadn’t?
What if it was hard?
Did she need ice cream?
Did she need a shoulder to cry on?
“Calum!” the girl underneath him moaned. Calum refocused his attention on her face. She was being loud. Fuck, what if Annabelle heard them?
Calum’s hand came over her mouth and the girl moaned again, the sound muffled but still evident. “Be quiet.” he stated, voice taking its usual commanding tone that it always had in board meetings.
Once he was sure that the girl, who he often referred to as Pharma Bitch (but he was pretty sure her name was Karen, or Corin, or Carin or something), was quiet, he took his hand away. She bit at her lip, small whines still leaving her mouth and Calum sighed.
He couldn't… he couldn’t look at her.
He pulled out and easily flipped her around, pulling her hips up so he could slam into her from behind.
Even without having to see her face, she still wasn’t Annabelle. She was a brunette and the contrast was obvious. With huge extensions that tumbled in curls down her back… well, she wasn’t Annabelle.
First of all, Annabelle definitely didn’t have the money for extensions.
Second, Annabelle was gorgeously blonde and he’d never had a preference before but damn, he enjoyed the golden strands that she was always pushing from her face.
Third, Calum doubted she would get extensions even if she had the money. Which oddly, he kind of enjoyed.
Calum closed his eyes, focusing on the feeling of ramming in and out of the girl underneath him.
With no sound or visuals, he could almost imagine that the girl he was fucking was his hot blonde neighbour and not the Pharma bitch.
That’s when he noticed the sound of his bed hitting the wall with each thrust.
“Fuck.” Calum cursed, pulling out, “get on the floor.”
“What?!” Pharma Bitch shrieked. She could deal with the shitty apartment instead of his penthouse, she could deal with the creaky bed and the duvet cover that wasn’t high grade silk, but fucking on the floor? No. that was a no go.
“I said. Get on the floor.” Calum stated.
She did.
The floor didn’t squeak.
----
“So word around town is you’re fucking girls with the lights off now?” Michael said, collapsing onto Calum’s couch.
“No I heard he’s making them not make noises.” Luke quipped.
“Nah, he’s only fucking them doggy.” Ashton interjected.
They all turned to Calum who took a sip from his beer, “all three.”
“Ouch.” Michael laughed, “what the fuck has gotten into you?”
“He’s in love with the blonde.” Ashton answered, “Belle.”
“Annabelle-” Calum corrected, “and no I’m not.”
“Then why are you being such a wack job about fucking these girls Hood?” Michael asked, “looks like somebody’s lost their mojo.”
“Fuck off.” Calum groaned.
It was true though.
It had started with the doggy, no noise and not fucking in his bed.
But that had been a week ago and Calum found that he almost couldn’t even bear to do that anymore. He was sneaking the women inside the apartment building like a smuggler dealing contraband.
His heart raced every time he walked a new girl past Annabelle’s apartment.
And he always reminded them that when they left, they had to be quiet and not be seen.
He knew the girls were starting to get pissed.
He just didn’t know why he felt so goddamn bad about it. It wasn’t like he was dating Annabelle! He had no allegiance. They’d kissed twice and that was it. So why the fuck did he feel so bad about it!
Michael set up the video games and Ashton dealt with the music.
Calum was in the bathroom when there was a knock at the door. All the boys looked at each other and grinned, Luke and Ashton both hopping to their feet while Michael stayed with his attention on the tv.
Luke, with his long legs, got to the door first.
He threw it open and just like that, the tall Aussies were looking down at the adorable blonde girl.
She was in a uni hoodie that went down to her mid thigh and it wasn’t obvious whether or not she was wearing shorts underneath the fabric that drowned out her body. Her eyes were an emerald green and she had the most adorable mouth either guy had ever seen, a perfect cupid bow on beautiful pink lips. Her blonde hair was in a half bun and it had an effortlessly, messy, cute, girl next door sort of vibe to it.
Luke’s words caught in his throat and Ashton jumped in, “can we do something for you?” he asked.
“I uh…” she looked a little shocked, “I was expecting Calum-”
“Bathroom.”
“Oh.” she fidgeted with her long hoodie sleeves, “do you mind turning down the music? I mean, I’m usually chill when he’s playing Queen but this is a little excessive.”
“Excessive?!” Michael screamed from inside, shocked at the slander towards the Guns and Roses thumping through the apartment.
“Queen?” Ashton said in shock, “since when does Calum listen to Queen.”
“Oh are you more John Denver because that was a shock too.” Annabelle laughed, beginning to twirl her hair.
“John Denver!?” Michael screamed, throwing his controller down as he stood abruptly from the couch and ran to the bathroom.
There was a sound of the door being thrown open then a “What the fuck?!” then screaming and cursing as Michael attacked Calum.
“Anyways, could you turn the music down a bit?” Annabelle asked, anxious to get back to her studying. It had calmed down slightly, a new beat that wasn’t wholly unpleasant replacing the last song.
Just when she began to feel bad about requesting the music to be turned down, the lyrics for the song began. ‘You let me violate you. You let me desecrate you. You let me penetrate you-’
Annabelle made a face and the boys in front of her grinned, “you don’t like Nine Inch Nails?” Luke mused.
“Surprised you haven't heard this one yet, it’s Cal’s favourite.” Ashton smirked as the lyrics began to scream ‘I wanna fuck you like an animal. I wanna feel you from the inside.’
“I don’t know if it’s his favourite.” Luke said, “but it’s definitely his song if you know what I mean.”
They both looked at Annabelle expectantly and she took a deep breath. She guessed they expected her to crack under the pressure of their gaze.
Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the doorway, “you know, I can definitely see that.” she stated.
Ashton laughed loudly and Calum and Michael appeared behind the two blondes, “Cal, we like her.” Luke stated.
“Fuck someone turn this music down.” Calum said, looking distressed.
Michael went back to the living room, but instead of turning it down he turned it up and suddenly the vulgar lyrics were booming through the apartment and out into the hallway.
Someone else opened their apartment door, glaring at Annabelle who was getting second hand embarrassment for Calum and his friends. A hand grabbed Annabelle and the taller blonde pulled her inside the apartment, closing the door as Calum went and grabbed the phone from Michael, turning the music down.
He turned to look at Annabelle, “what’s up?” he asked, looking worried.
“I just uh… the music, needed to be turned down a little.” Annabelle said.
The boys looked between the two.
Annabelle, who had actually seemed kind of cocky and ready to converse at the door, was suddenly clamming up.
And Calum? Their future CEO, dominant, powerhouse, sex god, was suddenly worried and ready to bend over backwards, which was something he never fucking did.
“Right, sorry, I’ll keep it down.” Calum apologized.
Luke and Ashton exchanged a glance.
“So how did your exam go?” Calum asked.
“My exam?”
“Yeah the one last week.” Calum clarified.
“Fuck, right, that one, uh, it was good, I think it went well. Thanks for the ride, I appreciated it.” Annabelle smiled and Calum ate it up, grinning back.
“He let you drive in his car?!” Michael screamed, taking this new information as a personal offense, “since fucking when!?”
“She’s not a pig like you are.” Calum said absentmindedly.
“Fuck you Hood I am not a fucking pig.” Michael glared.
Calum tensed up.
His last name had just been dropped.
But when he looked at Annabelle it seemed like she hadn’t noticed, and he let out a sigh of relief.
“Aren’t you going to properly introduce us?” Luke asked, interrupting Michael who was still seething.
“Fuck, right,” Calum groaned, he kept missing all the steps and this guy never missed steps, “that’s Ashton, the tall guy is Luke and the pig is Michael.”
Michael groaned loudly again.
“Nice to meet you guys, I’m-”
“Annabelle, not Belle, trust me,” Luke grinned, “we know.”
“Fuck off Luke.” Calum cussed.
“I have to study so I should get going-”
“Yeah, sure.” Calum walked Annabelle to the door, opening it for her. He offered a small smile and as she left, he couldn’t help but follow her out, closing his door behind him.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Walking you home.” he answered as if it was the most regular thing in the world.
“I’m literally five meters away.” Annabelle laughed.
“Well fuck, if you don’t want me to be a gentleman-” Annabelle laughed and Calum grinned, walking her the five meters to her door, “hey so, I have to be at work tomorrow morning and I figured I could give you a ride or-”
“I don’t have class till noon tomorrow.” Annabelle said.
“Well, maybe we could grab breakfast or fuck, I guess noon is brunch huh? And I could drive you after.” Calum tried to gage her reactions and when she didn’t automatically smile (like any other girl he knew would, they’d be jumping at the chance to see him in the morning) he got worried, “or not, if you’re busy-”
“Brunch.” Annabelle interrupted him, “you don’t peg me as a brunch kind of guy.”
“I’m not.” he confessed.
“So what’s that about? Hood?” Annabelle crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against her door, looking up at Calum.
He studied her face, trying to decipher if she knew who he was but, as was always the frustrating case, he had no clue what the fuck she was thinking.
“I-”
“You don’t have to explain yourself actually, I don’t know why I asked.” Annabelle sighed.
“You’re into psychology.” Calum stated. He’d been pissed about it before but for some reason, he wasn’t anymore. “It’s uh, it’s cute.”
God. He hated himself.
He hated himself.
He never fucking blushed with girls. He was the hardcore dom boy who made the girls blush. So why did this small, uni girl, study bug, mess of a thing, have so much control over him?
Annabelle’s heart was beating a mile a minute in her chest as she smiled up at the guy in front of her. The asshole neighbour. “You’re cute.” she stated before she could help herself.
Calum laughed, head lolling back to expose the most beautiful throat Annabelle had ever seen. Both of his hands came up to cover his face and she noticed the rings as he turned his body to the wall, resting his forehead against it.
“You good?” Annabelle laughed.
“Would you believe me if I said i’m drunk?” he groaned, turning to look at her.
“You’re not.”
“But if I was-”
“Then I’d be worried you’d kiss me again.”
“Woah, you’re the one who kissed me last time.” Calum pointed out.
“You suggested it.” Annabelle fired back.
“Did I though?” Calum narrowed his eyes at her, grinning.
“You said good luck kiss-”
“I also told you to get out of my car.” Calum reminded her.
Annabelle rolled her eyes, “you’re such a dick.”
“You keep calling me that princess, but I’m pretty sure you like me.” Calum smirked.
“Oh yeah? And what gives you that idea?”
“You took care of me while I was drunk and you called me baby-”
“Well fuck me, I’m a good person you can’t use that against me!” Annabelle said, voice raising defensively as she looked at him with a smile.
“I could.”
“You could what?”
“Fuck you.” he grinned.
“Calum!” Annabelle’s eyes widened and she pushed at him but he caught her hand as it almost made contact with his chest, pulling it forward so she tumbled towards him. His arms caught her and she looked up at him in shock.
“You gonna make me kiss you this time, or are you going to take control?” he asked.
“Why does something tell me you’re the one who’s used to being in control.” Annabelle countered but she sounded breathless.
“I am.”
“So be in control.”
Calum’s heart melted and if he wasn’t already kissing her a soon as the words left her mouth, he may have accidentally let an ‘i love you’ slip out because, holy fuck, he was over the moon.
His hands cupped her face as his tongue slid over her bottom lip. Her mouth opened immediately to receive him and Calum grinned, biting her lower lip between his teeth to take a breather, something he almost never needed.
Annabelle’s hands kept her steady, pressed against his strong shoulders, keeping her upright.
His thumb brushed against her cheek and as he was about to go in for another kiss when the sound of music vibrated through the hallway again and a head popped out of his apartment. Blue eyes bore into Calum’s back and he groaned as Annabelle peaked around him at Luke who was gaping at her.
Annabelle stepped backwards and Calum’s hands dropped to his sides.
“See you tomorrow?” he asked.
Fuck. He felt like one of the girls he kicked out every night.
But he thanked god that Annabelle wasn’t him. She nodded, smiling, “yeah. Brunch.”
Calum grinned and Annabelle went inside her apartment, offering one last smile as the door shut. Calum turned to glare at Luke, “I fucking hate you.”
-----
When Annabelle opened her door, she realized immediately how distressed Calum looked.
His outfit was on point. Black jeans, a white t shirt and a leather jacket that fit him in all the right places.
“Are you okay?” she asked, noticing how he was leaning with one arm against her doorway.
He made a small face, “can I come in?”
“Of course.” she moved out of the way for him and Calum entered, pacing in her hallway, “do you want coffee or are you hungry?”
Calum turned to look at her. He was worried for a moment, but then he thought about what she’d said the night before about taking control.
“Starved.” he stated.
Calum grabbed Annabelle around her waist, pulling her to his chest so he could press his lips against hers. She let out a small shocked sound at first but her body relaxed almost instantly. Her fingers hooked in his belt loops to pull him closer and Calum groaned.
He couldn’t help himself. Couldn’t contain it any longer.
His hands moved down to her ass and he lifted her up easily, Annabelle’s legs wrapped around Calum’s waist as he took her to her dinner table, setting her down on top of it. His hands grabbed at her bum harshly and Annabelle groaned into his mouth, fingers going to his hair as she pulled at the silver strands and a low grumble left his chest.
He pushed her down against the tabletop and immediately he unbuttoned her pants.
“Calum-” she breathed.
“I told you. I’m starving.” he said, pulling her jeans off completely. He looked up at her, his beautiful hands skimming up her bare thighs, “unless you actually want pancakes or some shit.”
“After?”
“Dessert first, pancakes later, sounds good to me.” he said, nipping at her inner thigh. He pressed a soft kiss to the skin he’d just bitten and Annabelle settled back against the table, her hands finding his hair.
His fingers hooked in her panties and he slid those down as well. Once they were on the floor he put her legs over his shoulders, pulling her closer. Calum had a thing for eating girls out. He just did. For some odd reason he enjoyed it. Enjoyed the power of it.
But he hadn’t been enjoying it lately.
It was as if he was a guy craving an amazing meal but only having ever been given fast food, after a while he’d gotten tired of the Big Macs. But here he was, at the open doors of a Gordon Ramsay Level five star restaurant and boy was going to eat.
As soon as his lips wraps around her clit, Annabelle’s fingers tightened in his hair and she moaned. The sound was music to Calum’s ears. Fuck, it had been ages since he’d heard the sound of a woman receiving pleasure from him because he hadn’t wanted to hear any sounds that weren’t from Annabelle.
And now that he was earning each whimper, he wanted her louder. He sucked harder on her clit and Annabelle let out a whiney breath, grip tightening on his hair. The small amount of pain made Calum groan and the vibrations against Annabelle’s clit threw her over the edge as her legs shook on his shoulders and she moaned loudly. His hands on her hips kept her steady as he worked her through the orgasm.
As soon as Annabelle had calmed down a bit, Calum stood fully again.
“Now I know why the girls you always have over are so goddamn loud.” Annabelle laughed.
Calum grinned, “that was nothing princess.”
“Oh yeah?” Annabelle smiled.
“Come here.” Calum said.
Annabelle pushed herself up so he could kiss her again. His left hand cupped her face as his ring clad fingers of his right hand rubbed at her still sensitive clit. They dipped inside and Annabelle moaned into Calum’s mouth. His digits curled up and hit that spot that made Annabelle grab at his shoulders “oh my god.” she said against his lips.
Calum smirked, he knew he was good at this too.
Calum was good at everything in the bedroom. It was just a fact. And he needed to prove it to Annabelle. He needed to make her addicted. He needed her to be thinking about this for weeks. He needed her to not be able to get him out of her perfect little head, to be tortured like he had.
Annabelle was moaning too much to kiss properly but Calum didn’t mind, he moved his lips to her neck instead. At first he pressed a few soft kisses to the sensitive skin but as he let his teeth drag across the flesh, Annabelle mewled, her fingers tugged at his hair and Calum knew that she was into it.
He sucked at her neck while moving his fingers faster. He could feel her heart racing in the artery he pressed kisses against and it drove him wild to feel her reacting to him.
Her loud moans in his ear egged him on and he could feel her getting closer and closer as she began to flutter around his ring clad digits. She pulled at his hair and he brought his lips to hers again as she came, whimpering into his mouth as he continued to pump his fingers in and out.
Calum took his fingers out of her and brought them to his lips, watching her as he licked them clean. As he did that, Annabelle reached out, unbuckling his belt then his jean button and zipper.
Calum took off his leather jacket, removing a condom from his pocket, then also got rid of his shirt. He stopped Annabelle’s motions with his pants, holding out the packaged condom for Annabelle to take between her teeth as he helped take her hoodie off that was still adorning her body. He grinned, “no bra? Dirty girl.”
“It’s just for uni.” Annabelle breathed, taking the condom out from between her teeth.
“Hmm, glad I’m not in your class or I wouldn’t be able to focus. You’re a menace.” he took the condom from her.
“You’re just horny all the time.” Annabelle said, going back to her job of shoving Calum’s pants down.
“You’re just sexy.” he rolled the condom on and his hands found her thighs, gently brushing the skin, “you ready?”
“Fuck me Mr. Hood.”
Calum burst out laughing and so did Annabelle, “please don’t call me that.” Calum groaned, grabbing her face to kiss her.
“Yeah sorry that was not good.” Annabelle agreed.
“It’s okay.” Calum assured her, pressing one more soft kiss to her lips before he grabbed himself, lining up with Annabelle before pushing in slowly.
They both moaned, one of Calum’s hands continued to cup her face while the other went around to the small of her back, keeping her close as he did the first few thrusts slow and deep.
Fucking on a counter was great and everything but something about it felt wrong. Calum had been fucking people decidedly not in his bedroom to avoid Annabelle having to hear it, but now that he had her in his arms he wanted to go to the “bedroom.” he said, hands grabbing her bum again as he lifted her up, still inside, then walked to her room.
They collapsed onto her bed with giggles, teeth clashing slightly as they grinned into the kisses they shared. Annabelle couldn’t get enough of his gorgeously dyed hair, running her fingers through it repeatedly.
One of Calum’s hands moved Annabelle’s leg higher on his waist to get a better angle and he began a quick, rough, unrelenting pace that had Annabelle’s moans getting louder and louder.
Calum buried his face in her neck, enjoying the up close smell of coconuts that he already adored. He bit down into her skin and she let out a high, breathy moan that sent shivers through Calum’s entire body.
“Fuck.” he groaned, and the sound of him, all low and grumbly, made Annabelle’s heart lurch.
“Cal I’m so close.” she whispered, tangling her fingers in his hair to tug at it again which earned another groan from him.
“Me too princess.” he said, lips on her again. He wanted to be kissing her, wanted to be sharing the moment completely as they both came. A few more deep thrusts had them both going over the edge. Eyes clenched shut, hands groping each other to be as close as physically possible, they were just two souls sharing a moment where nothing else in the entire world mattered.
Annabelle took her lips from his and Calum went back to her neck as they both panted. Her fingers tracing patterns on his back and shoulders, adoring his beautiful skin.
“So… pancakes?” Annabelle asked, voice still breathless.
Calum laughed, rolling off her, “you’re wild.”
“You promised pancakes.” she reminded him.
“Where do you want to go?” he asked.
“I was thinking you could make me pancakes at your place.” Annabelle said.
“You’re a real piece of work aren’t you?” Calum laughed.
Annabelle shrugged, “you’re the one who started calling me princess, baby.”
Calum groaned, “you got me there.”
---
“So you fucked her, made her pancakes, then drove her to school.” Michael stated.
“Pretty much.” Cal answered, eyes scanning over the menu even though he knew what he wanted already. They’d been coming to this restaurant for years and Calum always ordered the exact same thing. He liked to pretend he was considering something else but Calum just didn’t enjoy change that much. He liked what he liked and he liked that he was used to it.
“That sounds kind of coupley man.” Ashton said, not even bothering to look at the menu.
“Hmmm.” Calum said. He knew that it was super coupley. It’s all he’d been able to think about all day. As he dropped her off, earning a small kiss, then went to work. In the board meeting, he’d been distracted. And if there was one thing Calum Hood wasn’t, it was the type to to get distracted.
It was kind of pissing him off.
“Well it’s wednesday.” Luke pointed out.
“So?” Michael asked.
“So, Wednesday is the day he fucks the flight attendant right?”
Their eyes all went to Calum.
He’d forgotten about that.
----
“Calum Hood.” Mary stated, “as in, Calum Hood of Hood enterprises, that huge contracting company that owns like half the city.”
“I mean, I guess so.” Annabelle shrugged, flipping through the pages of her text book.
“Why the fuck is he living next to you if he’s rich as fuck though?”
“He has this weird thing about having not earned his money or something. I guess he wants to see how us commoners live.”
“But you fucked this guy.”
“Yeah I just told you.” Annabelle sighed.
“Lock it down babe, lock it down!” Marry screamed into the phone and Annabelle grinned.
“I’m not a gold digger, plus he can be kind of a dick.”
“But like… money though.” there was a pause, “and the guy has driven you to school twice now? He seems okay to me.”
Annabelle had to admit, Calum was okay. She was being hard on him. She’d been thinking about the name Hood all day and in her last class she’d finally looked him up, curiosity having gotten the better of her. Sure enough, there was his picture, connected to some trash article about him leaving the club with another heiress of sorts.
Annabelle would be lying if she said that the article hadn’t hurt just a little.
He had access to heiresses and models, hell, there was even a rumour about a new pop song having been written about him and his (since dyed silver) notoriously gorgeous black curls.
“I mean, he’s okay-” she began.
“He’s hot as fuck Anna.” Mary interrupted her.
“How do you know that?”
“I looked him up. Is his hair still silver?”
“Yeah.”
“Hot as fuck.” Mary reiterated.
“Don’t tell him that, he doesn’t need another boost to his ego.” Annabelle sighed.There was a knock at her door, “shit, someone’s here I have to go. Call you later?”
“Who the fuck is at your place at twelve at night?” her friend groaned.
“I don’t know.” Anna could guess though, “call you right back.”
“Yeah yeah.”
Annabelle hung up and walked to the door, opening it to reveal Calum who looked just as distressed as he had in the morning. “Hey.” he said, looking her up and down.
“Hi.” she was wondering what he was doing at her apartment. She’d seen him that morning when he’d dropped her off at school at noon, which had been only around twelve hours before. She hadn’t expected to see him so soon, “what’s up? It’s late.”
“I was, uh…” he rubbed at the back of his neck and Annabelle narrowed her eyes at him.
He looked uncomfortable and Annabelle couldn’t help but verbalize the first thought that came to her mind, “you’re not here for a booty call are you?” Calum opened his mouth then closed at and Annabelle rolled her eyes, “what? Your other booty calls are busy?”
“Well when you make it sound like that-”
“How else is it supposed to sound Calum?” Annabelle glared, crossing her arms over her chest.
Once more, Calum didn’t know what to say. “Fuck.” he groaned. He kept messing up. “I don’t… I don’t want the other girls-”
“Wow. Wooing of the century Calum.” Annabelle said sarcastically, “‘hey babe, I’m like super horny and I know I can call any of my other fuck buddies, of which I have hundreds, but you’re my favourite, so I know you’re studying a lot, but how about you drop all of that, and let me make use of the fact that you’re my neighbour.’”
“Wow.” Calum laughed awkwardly, “so that’s what you think I’m like.”
“You literally kept me awake for a month straight fucking girls in the room next to mine.” Annabelle reminded him.
He had to admit, that was true.
“But that was before I knew you.”
“God Calum-”
“Baby.” he corrected, trying to sound charming.
“What do you even want from me?” Annabelle sighed, Calum didn’t answer, “look, we fucked, you had a taste of the common life, good for you-”
“What do you mean?” he furrowed his eyebrows at her, confused.
Annabelle took a deep breath. She was mad, worried that she’d been considering dating a guy who only saw her as a quick and easy fuck. “Rich boy has the cheap apartment and now he’s fucked a girl who doesn’t have fake tits or lips-”
“So I’m ‘rich boy’ now?” Calum laughed, but it hurt, and he could feel his blood beginning to boil, “that’s fucking great.”
“It’s who you are Calum-”
“I mean yeah, it’s part of who I am, how could it not be, but I’m more than that-”
“Really?”
“Yeah!” he said, voice raising a little, “but you wouldn’t know because just like every other fucking girl in my life, you can’t see past my money can you?”
Annabelle’s eyes widened, looking at him in shock. He’d told her while he was drunk that people treated him differently because of his money, and in the moment, Annabelle had judged the people who let that blind them, but here she was, being one of those people. All the anger and defensiveness she had been feeling disappeared.
“I didn’t mean to-”
“No one ever fucking means to. Not really. But they can’t help it.” Calum sighed, running a hand through his hair, “the girls expect you to pay for dinner because you can, then they want gifts on Valentines day but of course a box of chocolates isn’t enough when your boyfriend is a millionaire is it? Who even knows if a girl actually likes me or if she just wants money?” he shrugged, “I don’t fucking know. So yeah, I don’t tell people and you didn’t know, not right away and when you found out, your opinion of me changed, but yeah, not your fault, people can’t fucking help it. You know. Maybe I should be happy that you’re actually mad about it, that you’re not trying to get me to buy you a ring like every other girl I fucking know, cuz that means that what we had this morning? That shit was real. Just sucks that you’re letting the fact that I have money get in the way of this now.”
He turned to go.
Annabelle watched him. She didn’t know why she’d brought the money into it. She was kicking herself.
“Calum.” she called. He didn’t turn around. She knew in that moment that she had to be vulnerable and she hated it. “I’m scared.”
“About what?” he asked, whipping around to look at her.
“Well…” Annabelle groaned, “you have models chasing you Cal, models. I don’t want to be just your easy-fuck neighbour-”
“You’re not.”
“Well how the fuck am I supposed to know that?!” she yelled, “we barely talk, until like two days ago I didn’t even know your last name-”
“I don’t know your last name.” he pointed out.
“Well it’s not like I’m trying to hide it.”
“So we’re back to the whole family name thing.” Calum turned to go again.
“God, see that’s the other thing, as soon as things get tough you leave!”
“I can have a conversation as long as you don’t keep going back to my family, you don’t know them, they’re good people.”
Annabelle took a deep breath, “do you have siblings?”
“Yeah, sister.” he eyed her, letting out a breath as his shoulders relaxed slightly, “You?”
“No, I’m an only child.”
“So that explains a few things Princess.” Calum stated but there was something lighter in his tone and Annabelle found herself smiling. Just like that, a stupid pet name, and things calmed down.
“This is such a mess.” Annabelle groaned.
“Great things never come easy.” Calum pointed out.
“Great things?” Annabelle quirked her eyebrow at him and Calum leaned against his door, eying her, “this is a great thing?”
“I think it could be.” he paused, “what do you think?”
Annabelle thought about it for a moment, “want to come in?” Calum’s eyebrows raised and Annabelle rolled her eyes, “not for sex. We should get to know each other or something.”
Calum was silent for a moment, “fine. But you have to trust me when I say that I actually like you.” he approached her again, “I mean, yeah, you’re great in bed too-” Annabelle shoved at his shoulder and Calum grinned, “but I like you, okay?”
“Okay. I mean, you can be a bit of a dick sometimes but I like you too.”
“Again with calling me a dick?” Calum smirked, “thought we decided this morning that you don’t actually think I’m a dick.”
“I don’t think we ever decided that-” Annabelle looked up at the gorgeous man who was invading her space
“Sure we didn’t, you sleep with all the guys you think are douchebags huh?” he teased.
“Don’t test your luck hot shot.” Annabelle glared.
“Or what?”
She could feel his breath, and his pleasant, smokey smell wafted over her. “I’m still mad at you.” she stated.
“Sure you are.” he said.
God, he made her so angry sometimes. But fuck, was he hot. Annabelle looked up at him and she couldn’t help herself, wanting to feel the beautiful skin against her fingers, the strong muscles of his shoulders, the softness of his hair. Her heart was still racing, all worked up from their small argument.
Her hand went behind his neck and pulled his lips down to hers. Their tongues clashed immediately as her fingers gripped at his shirt, itching to tear it off right there in the hallway. His hands went to her waist and he pushed her against the hallway wall next to her door, grinding against her.
Annabelle groaned into his mouth and when he moved to bite at her neck she breathed, “no sex.”
“No sex.” he agreed, hand moving past Annabelle to open the door to her apartment. As soon as it was open, she ducked under his arm and went inside, grabbing his hand to pull him in after her. When the door was closed, she shoved him against the wall and he smirked as her hands grabbed at the hem of his shirt, lifting it to pull it over his head and reveal the beautiful, tattooed skin.
Annabelle couldn’t help herself as her hands went to his pants, as she slipped them down she realized “are these silk boxers?”
Calum groaned, “yeah.”
“Okay, how can you expect me not to comment on these.” Annabelle grinned.
“God, you’re a piece of fucking work has anyone told you that?”
“Pretty sure you did this morning.”
“Well I guess I’m just a genius then hmm?”
“You have a massive ego.”
“I have a massive something and it’s not my ego, princess.” he brought his mouth to hers again, cupping her face.
Annabelle groaned against his lips, “you sure about that?”
“You weren’t complaining this morning.”
Annabelle pulled away from Calum and his eyes opened, watching her retreat, still fully clothed, as he stood there shirtless, with his pants on the ground, “what are you doing?” he asked.
“Getting a good view.”
“How about you get your ass back here?” he suggested.
“Or what?”
Calum groaned, “touche.”
“Look, I think you should at least take me on a date first or something.” Annabelle said, “or I could order pizza-”
“Whatever you want.” Calum said, ready to do just about anything to get his hands back on her.
She picked up his shirt and tossed it to him, “I meant it when I said no sex.” she stated.
Calum sighed, pulling up his pants and putting on the shirt, “you’re really starting to make me question the idea that you prefer me better without this on you know.”
“Well I like to keep you guessing.” Annabelle shrugged, walking to the living room where she sat on the couch and patted the seat next to her. He sat down and she looked at him, “so what do you like on your pizza?”
They talked about their favourite things for a while. Annabelle ordered food and they chatted until there was a buzzer beep, Annabelle let the pizza guy up and as Calum grabbed his wallet, Annabelle walked to the door. Before Calum could do anything, she had already paid, closing the door behind the guy and brining the pizza into the small apartment.
Calum looked at her.
“What?” she asked.
“I don’t think anyone’s ever bought me pizza before.” he stated.
“Who says you get to have any?” Annabelle teased, grabbing two plates, she handed one to Calum.
He smiled down at her.
They were going to be great. He could feel it. And Calum had a knack for that sort of thing.

this was from a very long ass time ago, and im sorry I never responded to you sparkle cherry anon, but I definitely do believe that he sends birthday cards. with his baby bro’s increase in his fangirl club, he now is unafraid to send shouto a card. its always the only one that catches shouto’s attention when he goes through them because they’re weirdly personal. shouto, being a smart yet dense idiot, believes its someone in the class pranking him.
~ I won’t be posting these messages, but they were from awhile ago when I was hitting a rough patch with my insecurity as a writer and my ability to give my all to you. there are many of you, 19 messages in total, where you told me why you loved my writing. I never responded to them because they make me cry even now looking back at them. to each and every anon, I thank you for saying those kind words. to @saladsharkz, @thecryingsombra, @olivenight17, @shutupwylow, @expressyourstarstruckrebel, and @awkward-theaterkid thank you as well. there is another non anon, but they asked not to be revealed. thank you so sososo much.
~ I will not be posting these as well, because again, drama from awhile ago. but this was in regard to the anon who did not like the kinklist I had created for kinktober. while now I think I am doing a pretty damn good job, and no one has said otherwise, to the 2 anons, @connors-my-boy, and bigdickkiri, thank you for fighting an anon that was never your responsibility to take <3

You guys are friendship goals how do you make internet friends saph
okay story time this is the progression of mine and @papesdontsellthemselves friendship (complete with pictures)
so once upon a time (actually it was november of last year) i was a Sad high school senior drowning my sorrows in my tumblr account as newsies royalty while i stressed over my college applications and auditions. most of my pastimes included 1. writing shitty fics 2. reading good fics and 3. listening to bad music from 2012. and i happened to stumble upon some newsies pics as one does by Someone called @papesdontsellthemselves or, as was listed in the bio “Mikey”
nevertheless i binge read all of them at approximately 2am on a school night and probably fell asleep in ap euro the next morning. i very much liked his fics. they were slappy. and i started to stalk his account, as any normal person would.
and once or twice or several times, as any person who runs out of ideas does, he asked for prompt requests. and me, being a sad fangirl of this poor bois account, decided to send him some. (he still has one that he never answered) and he wrote a few of them. this one was my favorite go read it (i think i inspired this one)
and then one day i opened my tumblr acc and THIS was waiting for me:
and i think i was like KJHSJHASLHJGDSLKH WH
then you know some time went by as time does and we sort of awkwardly coexisted. i actually was within like 10 minutes of him for a college audition before we knew each other that was pretty wild.
and then
the fateful day
i was sitting in ap stats, bored out of my mind, and decided to ignore the lesson on z scores or whatever it was cause what the fuck else are you supposed to do in ap stats and go on tumblr (seriously do not take ap stats its terrible, its an acid trip, i barely passed that class) and i had a message waiting for me from the one and only @papesdontsellthemselves that said something like:
“lol sorry to bother you chief but how to you put your tag lists on your pics so they dont take forever ooo sorry!!”
and i was like ssksksksjskskjsk why is tumblr royalty @papesdontsellthemselves talking to me, a lowly peasant, and i may have freaked out for a hot sec but then i responded something like
“i have it in a google doc and then hit the down arrow and the return key really fast lol”
(only recently he revealed to me that he didnt actually give a shit about my tag list (r00d) and that he just wanted an excuse to talk to me and That was what he came up with and he screamed after he sent the message cause he was so scared. also he was in theater with his weird shoeless teacher not paying attention. we’re good students i promise.)
and then we got to Talking and we just didnt Stop talking? like i told him about jeff, my shitty english teacher and he told me about his theater teacher who made them do 9/11 shakespeare and we bonded and then we sent each other pictures of our dogs:
mikeys dog, leela (aka leeks Big Chonk) ^^
my dog, lacey ^^
and we also went through The Awkward Stage
but then
a miracle happened
twas christmas eve, about like idk 3pm and the two of us were Awkwardly Conversing as awkward internet friends do and i was getting changed for christmas eve dinner (cause my family Extra and you have to be Fancy or face the Wrath of the Elders) and I'm digging through my closet looking for something Presentable when discover The Pencil Skirt.
it twas a rather unsuspecting article, green wool with faint plaid stripes, and hand-me-down from some aunt, and i decided to put it on because i had limited fancy clothes and didnt wanna do a repeat from a previous year. so i added my One White Button Down Shirt and some black dance tights and called it a day.
so then me, being me, was messaging mikey and said (keep in mind were still practically strangers and had been barely talking for a week):
“wow i actually look kinda hot right now like maybe someone would bang me. like, I'm not into that, but I look good enough that someone might consider it.”
yes
me, an asexual, said that to a total stranger on the internet.
what were you Thinking saph.
truly, i have no idea.
but for some reason, instead of being scared away (like a normal sane person should be) mikey laughed and we began calling each other daddy. i dont know okay, it was a wild experience. I'm not sure if it actually happened.
so, my skirt became The Daddy Skirt, a tragic symbol of our strange friendship, and the two of us exited the Awkward Stage.
truly it was an exciting time:
and then we gave each other nicknames. the sappy kind not the cursed kind. mikey was bean cause he was a coffee bean and cocoa bean addict. and i was originally shrub and then bear and finally peanut. im not sure why. he isn't either.
boi also Literally guessed my real name. like straight up. and i was like “o word.” it was trippy.
AND THEN twas a cold february day when we decided to exchange faces. i send him a picture of me eating a christmas tree. he sent me a picture of him in his kitchen wearing sun glasses frat boy posing. truly iconic.
we also liked to look up weird things late at night and have revelations about dumb shit, as seen by these Unexplained Screenshots i have on my phone:
yes those are real screenshots
then we decided to finally talk on instagram instead of this hell site and i was exposed to mikeys finsta *shudder*
nothing much else interesting happened until: College *dun dun dunnnnnn*
(except for that one time i had a mental breakdown at 1am and he drove home form some party to ig call me and tell me about the time his dog ended up in solitary confinement. a true g)
so for Safety Reasons, i finally gave milky my number when i got to school and we started texting and Facetiming which was a Trip.
i also sent him a Box of Cursed Content. he tried to send the box back to me in october and it still hasn't arrived. we think it may be in antarctica.
and then we tried to coordinate to meet up like three (3) separate times before We Got Lucky, the Stars Aligned, and we held hands in the back of an a&f
(we also hugged in a nordstrom in like the Fancy Clothes Section and the lady thought we were definitely dating cause we took pics of us hugging in the fuckin mirror pillar. also i almost lost my wallet but thats another story.)
and next year our wild journey will continue (hopefully)
in conclusion i love mikey and this has been a sappy post

the new NEW video has my soul thanks
don’t expect this to be the last post with me freaking out about sanders sides
SO THE NEW EPISODE
SPOILERS FOR DEALING WITH INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS!!!!!
more below the cut uwu
- REMUS. FREAKING REMUS. I LOVE MY STINKY SON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HE DESERVES ALL THE L O V E- cough - I love Remus. All the brotherly parallels are amazing, with “Have you ever imagined killing your brother?” and then two seconds later, Roman’s been knocked out by a freAKING MACE. BY. HIS. B R O T H E R. amazing. and we have the Cain and Able parallel and the Romulus and Remus parallel. just,, amazing work. a m a z i n g w o r k. - i love how remus affects each side depending how much they fear him. Roman must fear his brother a freaking lot since he was out for 97% of the video, but logan was like “oh, ninja star in my head? i’ve experienced worse.” - speaking of logan, mY SON WAS CALLED COOL. UH, YES?!?!? this video is pushing roman closer to his character arc and is pushing logan’s back. and thank god for that. we’ve had to experience over a year of roman angst, and while i love myself some good ol’ ANGST, i really just want it to come tumbling ouT! blurt it out, if its easier! like ripping... thE SWORD FROM THE STONE!!!1 i’m sorry. - patton didn’t have a very big role in this episode, but i still loved him. im definitely gonna use “singing to myself cause im not uncomfortable at all” in the future- - back to logan, he wAS SO COOL IN THIS EPISODE?!?!? LIKE, HIM SOFTLY EXPLAINING THINGS TO THE OTHER SIDES MAKES ME SO HAPPYYYY!!!!!! - roman a n g s t, man. the funhouse mirror thing made my heart hurt ajskjak- - VIRGIL. - V I R G I L . - i mean i feel like we been knew, but v I R G I L - and he just sinks out like,, what if thomas hates him now? what if it all goes back to pre-accepting anxiety? that’d make me saaadd - remus. I just,, don’t know how to start explaining him - i love him. I don’t love to hate him and i don’t hate that i love him, I LOVE HIM! the “theres a snake in my b U T T!” always gets me! deceit what’re you doing down there- - i also feel like there’s some m a j o r dark side angst going on here and I’m living for it. - I mean, just think about it. The dark sides are never really listened to, right? And they’re hated. But now, one of them left, and guess what? He’s getting listed to. He’s loved. Thomas and the light sides care about him. Obviously, they’d get jealous. Why should he get loved if they’re just like him? Technically. So, they try to force Virgil to come out and tell Thomas about his past. “It takes a liar to know a liar.” “I wouldn’t hide anything from you!” Together, Deceit and Remus push Virgil to tell Thomas about being one of the Others. Because, Thomas “hates” the others. now that he knows Virge used to be one of them, wouldn’t he hate Virgil too? They’re bitter and they want to get back at Virge for betraying them. - virgil’s face when roman comes back - virgil’s face when logan’s getting thanked for being so coOl - roman apologizing to logan - “you’re not dead!” wow, thanks pat - virgil showing concern for roman sorry, my multishipper is showing - i’d like to point out how during the 12 days of chrismas, roman mentioned naked aunt patty, and during the song, remus bent down a moment and a sticky note behind him said “aunt patty naked.” just wanna point that out - speaking of the song, wOW ITS AMAZING! its really catchy and- ugh, good job joan! props to them! - “everything is okay.” wow okay my heart just- wow - thomas is just a whole mood and a half thank you very much - “despite his best efforts virgil could never stop being the bad guy!-” -i’m probably missing some stuff bc the episodes so freaking amazing and this post is a mess bc im a mess but like, i love the entire 41 minutes and 17 seconds - i really loved this entire episode and I cannot wait for the next episode. tho, take ur time, thomas and the crew. ur doing great, but don’t overwork yourself. and thomas, get some sleep. you uploaded at like 2am - and i saw some people in the comments of the video complaining about remus. like, if you don’t like him, then whatever, thats your opinion. but, remus did not “make sanders sides more mature” and “less funny.” there are content warnings in the beginning, so if you’re like 7 years old, then you should know what to expect. yeah, there were mature jokes, but there have always been mature jokes. take “virgan” as an example. personally, i love remus and will protect the stinky boi with my entire being. and ss isn’t “less funny.” this was literally one episode. yeah, thomas is probably going to discuss more heavy topics later, but that shouldn’t make a difference - okay i’m done ranting- - this post is a mess but so are my emotions after watching the new NEW episode so-

Wishing on a Star - Taekook
Summary: Taehyung wakes up due to a text from Jungkook and they go star-gazing.
Genre: fluff(?)
Pairing: Taehyung/Jungkook (Taekook)
Words: 1,500
Warnings: None
AN: hello! heres my first lil taekook au i guess lol. this is unedited and raw bc i really cant bring myself to read over it im sorry fhjksdfhsk i hope you like it though uwu
I also posted this on AO3 !
Taehyung squinted as he turned down the brightness of his phone. He had woken up to its loud buzzing, courtesy of the one and only Jeon Jungkook. The older boy had set the notification tone of the younger’s messages to the noisiest one he could find as the latter enjoyed waking up in the dark of the night to do things on the whim.
kook: u up bro?
Taehyung huffed at Jungkook’s unwillingness to call him hyung, deciding it to be fruitless to correct him.
tata: yeah
tata: whats up
kook: come over
kook: and bring ur truck
Sighing, Taehyung pulled himself out of his warm bed, immediately wishing to tell Jungkook he wasn’t feeling up to going somewhere right now, but he didn’t. It would be a waste of time since he knew the younger boy would wind up convincing him to go.
Taehyung stumbled into the bathroom and splashed his face with cool water, ridding his eyes of any sleep that may linger. He flattened any stray blond hairs, neatening it up as much as possible.
He pulled on a sweatshirt, not bothering to change his pants.
He quietly left the house, careful to not wake his parents, and started his car.
The drive to Jungkook’s apartment complex was short, with Taehyung humming along to a mixtape Namjoon had given to him. The songs weren’t typical for Taehyung to listen to, but he had grown to like the music that was coming out his speakers. The songs were soft in a way, and made Taehyung feel an emotion he wasn’t quite acquainted with.
As he pulled into the car park, he texted Jungkook, telling him to come down. A few moments later, he saw the main door open, revealing Jungkook dressed in an oversized black hoodie. Taehyung smiles at the sight.
Jungkook settled into the car before turning around to meet the elder’s eyes. “Thanks for coming, bro,”.
“You don’t have to keep saying that, Kook,” Taehyung’s smile widened. “Where do you want to go tonight?”
The younger boys eyes sparkle as he replied, “You know those woods we always go to during spring break?” Taehyung nodded. They would usually go to Crajun Woods with their friends, spending spring nights in tents by the glow of the fire. “I want to go there,”
The older boy complied with his request, never wanting to disappoint the brunet. The drive was lengthy, despite there being no traffic, and Jungkook kept fidgeting with the sleeves of his hoodie, a slight distraction for Taehyung.
“You good?”
There was a pause. Jungkook stopped playing with his sleeves and looks up at Taehyung.
“Uh, yeah. I’m good.” His answer did little to convince Taehyung, but he didn’t question it, knowing that Jungkook would tell him what was wrong when he wanted to.
Reaching over from his seat, Taehyung turned up the volume of his car radio. He wasn’t used to the silence he was in as Jungkook always had something to talk about. It was weird. He hummed quietly to the songs, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel every now and then.
“Your voice would suit this song,”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
Jungkook looks up at Taehyung through his spectacles, eyes encouraging the blond to sing along. Taehyung glances back before sighing and giving in to the silent pleas.
“I'm falling for you,
What do I do?” Taehyung’s voice is warm, mingling with the song perfectly. Jungkook stared at him, feeling more nervous than he did after he first sent the text.
“If only I knew,
You were feeling it too,” Taehyung’s eyes flitter to Jungkook, who looks away from fear of being accused of staring. He continued to sing, growing confident with each verse.
The whole time, Jungkook felt butterflies erupting in his stomach and he desperately tried to keep his gaze away from the blond’s.
“We’re here, Kook,” He said, voice low, not wanting to break the intimate atmosphere.
Jungkook’s eyes widened and he practically jumped out of the car, fearful for his heart, which was going way too fast to be considered healthy. Once he was out of the stuffy car, he felt his nerves cool down and took a deep breath. The cold winter air was crisp and he smiled. He looked back to see Taehyung’s back turned to him, leaning against the car door.
Jungkook let out a small ‘oh’ before opening the car door again, pulling out his backpack from where his feet once were. He reached into it and gathered the bunch of blankets he had stuffed in it beforehand.
Taehyung watched with curiosity as Jungkook laid a blanket on the bed of his truck.
“Come over here,” Jungkook gestured and climbed onto the truck. Taehyung followed suit, sitting next to the brunet.
The blond laid down after a while, shivering at the cold. Jungkook brought out another blanket, thicker than the one he had set out previously, and pulled it over himself and Taehyung. No words were spoken for a while as they laid in silence, enjoying the company of each other.
“Why’d you bring me here, Kook?” Taehyung asked while he stared up at the sky. Jungkook snuck a glance at him before retorting his answer.
“Technically, you brought me here,” The elder scoffed and shook his head before muttering something about him being a little shit. “You’ll see in a while.”
Taehyung furrowed his brows at the answer, “You’re always so cryptic,” Jungkook laughed.
“Still not used to it, bro?” They quietened down after that, falling back into silence.
Jungkook took it as a chance to think about his relationship with Taehyung. He knew there was something different about him, something he didn’t feel with Yoongi or Jimin, or any of the other boys at that. He almost felt more carefree with the older boy, not having to think twice about his actions. He thought back to when he had first texted Taehyung in the middle of the night.
It was probably 2AM and Jungkook could not fall asleep for his life. He went out with Taehyung the day before at the arcade (he used his tickets to buy a stuffed pink rabbit for him) which might have been his motive for deciding to text him of all people. He didn’t reply for a good half hour, during which Jungkook began doodling in his sketchbook. When he did reply though, the brunet pushed his supplies to the side and read the text.
Taehyung had asked if he wanted to talk on the phone, to which Jungkook replied with a cool ‘yeah, sure’, grateful for the fact that true emotions can’t be displayed through messages.
They spoke for 2 hours and 28 minutes, at least that’s what the call log said, and that day Jungkook learned more about Taehyung than he did in the few months they were friends. It almost became tradition for the two to stay up all night talking about anything their minds could muster, however one night Jungkook felt like doing more. He told Taehyung to come over to his house and while the blond, who was brunet at the time, had initially been reluctant to the idea, he agreed to go.
They went to a park in Starby, which was pretty far from where the two lived. The park had a creepy vibe to it, which should’ve been a warning sign, however they ignored it and ran over to the swing set, childishly swinging up into the air and giggling. Jungkook opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Taehyung shushing him with his finger. He was about to question him when he heard leaves shuffling and twigs snapping followed by gruff voices.
The two boys had looked at each other with wide eyes before the voices began speaking again. They were negotiating prices. Taehyung grabbed Jungkook’s arm and ran out of the park. They could hear yelling behind them, but they didn’t dare to look back. They reached the truck, panting against the doors. It started as a chuckle which then turned into full blown laughter from the pair.
They clutched at there sides and Taehyung breathed out something about never going out with Jungkook during the night again, which he obviously didn’t do a very good job of. It was that night when Jungkook looked into Taehyung’s crinkled eyes that something changed between them. He felt queasy and light-heated, his laughter stopping as he just watched Taehyung. Once Taehyung calmed down, he smiled brightly at Jungkook before driving him home.
Jungkook was brought back into the present when he heard a gasp coming from Taehyung. He looked above and his mouth curved into an ‘o’ shape.
Fireballs of red and yellow zoomed through the sky, lighting up the world above them. From a young age, Jungkook was told to make a wish when seeing a shooting star, and so that’s exactly what he did. He turned to face Taehyung, examining his expression. He looked up at the sky with amazement, lips curled into a small smile.
Jungkook closed his eyes, silently wishing.
“What’re you doing?”
“Wishing on a star.”

DA verse
a summary post of all my active muses verse(s) in dragon age because i’m f EELING IT BOYS. except terry for rn bc it’ll be Hard. one day. gonna try and go in a from least knowledge bout their verse to extensive knowledge of ‘em so. ayy
this is a pretty long post i apologize to those on mobile!!
Nova; mage(???), human ( ? ), possibly a distant noble
probably a mage? because blue space magic is her jam. though she’s actually more of a combat & tech. she was like well rounded in that regard so i’m considering iunno??? battlemage maybe w/ lockpicking who knows. she’s a sneaky mage that can stab u real good.
would probably also assume she’s pretty good as inquisitor because she would treat it as her role and thing she still has to bare and takes it seriously. like nova is no nonsense as inquisitor but absolute nonsense when she’s not playing that role lmao.
Morgan; mage?? human af ye. defo a noble blood t BH.
i unno man. iunno. is he a mage? yeah probably. would he be a legit battlemage + arcane warrior? probably. Would i say he uses a real sword? pro b ab ly. like listen he’s a beefy mage who wears normal armor and probably looks like a fckn non mage but bOOM SUDDENLY LIGHTNING FROM HIS HAND W H AT
iunno he’s a mage and he’s aggressive as FUCKKKK. aggro as fuck. probably sides withhh iunno both he’d want both and think it’s wasted potential to only have one lmao. iunno he’s hard to figure out man. he’d ultimately probably be like templars because actual ppl who know how to fight. but also wouldn’t wanna condemn the mageS??? so who knows who knows.
anyways he probably likes blackwall and the iron bull and viv and cass?? and just ye. chills w/ them a lot probably. probably would flirt w/ cass tho god. butw/e no he’s uhhhh real aggressive as a fckn inquisitor like every body getting beheaded. except a few probably.. he would probably make uh... whats his name... tranquil tbh. worse fate than death that yes he would wish on his enemies bc otherwise they get what they want & too risky otherwise.
Igne; old af elf, probably an assassin combo w/ magic??
like listen if you tell me that they can’t be both ima fckn punt u bc really that’s dumb. defeats the point of multiclassing in the fantasy genre of g am es. anyways really tho they’re old. old as balls. probably? iunno. probably served like... andruil for a while or somethin! got a lil lil corrupted but didn’t want it and wanted freedom so they were like FUCK THIS SHIT IM OUTTIE
how’d they live? no idea. not a single clue bc i just don’t know jackshit bout ancient elf shit anymore (when did i ever) but honestly. it’s probably a thing right? old af elves everywhere. but no no they’d probably even annoy sera bc like they’re literally?? nonsense. violent af nonsense. hanging off a roof with a fckn potato in their mouth & lookin ready to murder.
it’s a look™ but nah thinkin that u hhh corruption shit is probably what gave them a red eye ayyy
inquisitor igne is like dagger eyes at solas but doesn’t snitch on him ever not even once. she’s got his back man. she’d be like cool i’ll plaY BOTH SIDES SUre. sure. no mercy run on ppl tho god
EVELYN / ISENE; old af elf. got that fckn combo again
it’s a theme really, combo classes. all my muses? multiclassed fuckers. for a detailed everything, please refer to her old blog bc this is gonna be a stupid summary of it so ayyy.
old as dicks dude. lost her arm in the rebellion, against the rebellion. served elgar’nan because he fits her the most tbh. still sort of serves him i guess. like if he showed up she wouldn’t hesitate to follow his orders is what i mean here. otherwise she keeps up the facade of being a former dalish elf mercenary. and definitely doesn’t shy away from admitting she’s got magic. never calls herself a mage because like lmao
she has a fckn big ol sword she carries around one handed? and if ur like UR JUST A MAGE she’s gonna use said big ol sword to chop ur head off. not a fan of modern mages tho lmao. at all. like not a lot of sympathy for them. but she would also just kick a circles door in and be like cool leave gtfo you weaklin lil fucks jfc go learn somethin.
would fight solas in a denny’s parking lot at 2am if she knew jack shit. but she really doesn’t so she’s like ur weird and i dont trust you butyeah lm ao
Eludysia; ngl i unno if she’s old old but she’s Old. Old seer lady.
honestly i think she’s not gonna have much of a da verse in general but it exists enough that i feel like i should cover it here. but essentially she’s an old elf seer in rivain. leader of a port side town. No chantry or qunari around its a lot of elves tho. refugees and what not from kirkwall and stuff.
i unno if she’s an ancient elf but i know she’s old. like real old. so who knows
if she is ancient she probably woulda been like a priestess to ?? falon’din or dirthamen??? because seer shit but like even in a current state she’s fairly devoted to on e o f them or both? probably both lmao. so it’s w/e.
she’s the former keeper of the clan revas got sent to, which is where revas’ mom is also from and how she gets to that clan. but she was keeper of the clan for like.. a long time like a long time. like that bald fuck from da:o but without plaguing people with a curse. iunno how she did it but magic and better than that shit.
more important if revas is inquisitor because lmao she’d probably be like.. welp im gonna come guide you?? probably. shit she’s probably like emerald knights old tho shit but no fuckin!!! probably comes to be an advisor.
i think if u go revas as commander/advisor or inquisitor in a thread eludysia’s probs gonna show up and be like sup but otherwise she’s mainly just a contact in rivain for info and resources!! no special quest or anything u can just contact her for stuff.
Warren; half-elf, half-qunari. big man w/ a bow.
&& a thick af accent let’s be real here.
i haven’t made a post about his shit yet so! this one might be a lil longer!!
grew up in/around starkhaven. in an alienage somewhere really! but he’s got that starkhaven accent. probably just fumbled his way there because honestly he got fucking ditched by his people and has no idea who his parents are lmao. just knows his mom died during child birth and he was fuckin cursed essentially via his?? clan or something. that qunari bit of him is real obvious as his horns grew out and probably had a harsh life in an alienage.
because he’s not an elf. but he’s not human. and he’s not a qunari. so he’s just. him.
eventually falls in with some ppl who teach him to steal. so he does a lot and then gets busted and they fckn break his horns off and chop his ears!!! and throw him the fuck out. as you do. but they taught him to use a bow so he’s good with that. and knives. good at close quarters and a long range.
gets better with a bow. real top knotch stuff. ends up in a mercenary crew (same one as qunari inquisitor? probably.) enjoys his merc lifestyle ya know has a good time killin shit
anyways. companion warren is p much like ‘Strength & force.’ because he has no tact and doesn’t care about politics. like one day i’ll have his approval / disapproval shit. but today is not that day.
but the same applies to his inquisitor shit. he’s fucking brutal as an inquisitor. cares about the little people but FUCK the rich. takes the well for himself ( tho if i would also say revas is there bc i can and she’d take it) but generally just!! give him power and let him kill shit!! that’s all he cares about. tho he wouldn’t kill samson or calpernia bc he doesn’t see them as enemies or villains truly? just pawns in a big scheme and he’d probably stare corypheus in the face and be like get fucked you saggy fuck
he’s great, great guy.
Revas: Keeper. Dreamer. Dalish elf.
literally like most people know Revas’ Dragon Age basics!! but if you don’t i’ll just direct you to her old blog, so you know what’s up. i’ll put it into a summary the best i can tho!
Backstory: short and simple? #fucked. expanded? she was born to the lavellan clan to one of the head hunters & warriors. ended up having magic so she was sort of training to become second, or first, till her moms old clan was like hey we need a new first so uhhhh help us out. and they traded some goods and revas went on her way. ended up being a fucked up situation where the previous first was murdered by two clanmates who eventually tried ( and did) murder revas but she came back bc lmao spirit help & ended up killing them and leaving for her actions.
Dragon Age: Awakening: full page about it Takes place shortly after this event happened. she lived on her own for awhile, protecting people as much as she could from darkspawn during the blight. ends up going to the wardens because someone doesn’t appreciate her help since she’s a Mage. The choices made by the warden in regards to her effect how she becomes a warden and the rest of the timeline. Sort of a branch off feel. highly recommend taking a look at the page and also this post.
DA 2: If not in the Awakening verse, Revas travels around to the clans. becoming a traveling keeper & helping the clans the best she can. As well as finding ruins and exploring man memories from lost objects. Eventually finds her way to Kirkwall to actually speak with Merrill. But some other shenanigans play out and some stuff goes down. Ends up helping in the fight at the end and leaving with Zevran ( @allurfavesrqueer‘s zevran only lmao. )
DA:I Companion: Shows up in fereldan with some tree peeps. gets some elvhen shit. offers her services to the inquisition bc that’s what her spirit told her to do. and ya know real fucky. shares some approvals as solas but usually has some pretty contrasting opinions on things! Will defo take on the role of like older sibling or sibling figure with the inquisitor if they’re close enough. Be kind to elves & mages and you’re good. ( also she’s an option to take the well if the inquisitor doesn’t want it)
Advisor: Takes up an offer by the inquistor to become an advisor which is more or less her using her network with the elves around the countries to do certain objectives and what not. acts a bit like an ambassador for the elves & mages in the meetings to give them a voice and remind the human board of trusteeeess that they’re fucking not the only ones around :))
Commander: Mainly with @desiderrium‘s Cullen. Basically Revas takes over for Cullen? at his request kinda because she’s like what the fuck you’re whAT. and gets pissed at everyone else for keeping him on when he’s Not Okay even if she’d rather kick his teeth in 99% of the time. why revas take over? because she’s actually p fuckin qualified, gestures vaguely towards being a first and the advisor au. like she knows how to lead ppl so ayy.
Inquisitor: Same ish backstory happens except her parents died to the blight and she left the clan for the other and ye same shit happens. but the clans ask her to go check shit out for them and shes like of course and gets caught up in the mess so.
ALRIGHTY !!
so that got long but yea!! hopefully this is a more condensed version of stuff and good for reference later.
#:: ooc#:: condensed stuff#i'd tag all the characters involved but nah#ima link it somewhere tho#long post /

MY EXPERIENCE AT EXO’RODIUM!!!
I CANT BELIEVE I GOT TO SEE MY KINGS AGAIN TT IM SO EMOTIONAL EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE THE CONCERT - EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT I JUST GET ALL GIDDY AND EXCITED AGAIN :D Here is my post on my experience at exo’rdium last night (fyi I wrote this on the night when i came back at like 2am LOL) its HECKA long post.... without further ado, here is MY EXPERIENCE AT EXORDIUM ^^
EXO’RDIUM 02.11.17
TODAY WAS FKING EXO’RDIUM HK AHHHHHHHHHHHH IM SO SHOOK HOLY I CAN NOT EVEN. WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN OMFG I- I can barely wrap my head around the fact that (YET AGAIN) EXO was in the same building as me, less than 10m away, LIVING, BREATHING IN THE FLESH EXO. LIKE THEY’RE REAL. NOT JUST PIXELS ON MY LAPTOP SCREEN- I JUST CANT. I STILL CANT. okok so to start, for this EXO concert, I wasn’t able to get standing tickets like I did for EXO’LUXION (when i was lucky enough to have FRONT ROW JEAAAASUUSS), but I was HUGELY and pleasantly surprised that our seats (Block 5, Row 6) WAS ACTUALLY SO CLOSE TO THE STAGE. LIKE I COULD SEE THE ENTIRE STAGE + EXTENDED STAGE, AND IF I USED MY CAMERA TO FILM, I COULD SEE THEIR FACES. So that was a huge plus as soon as we got into the arena. When the concert started, a VCR was shown - about how EXO was the saviours of the world (when are they not tho tbvh HAHA) from danger and etc. the screaming was seriously unreal - like when every member came up on the VCR… #impressed. Then, they started the concert with MAMA and can we just- MAJOR THROWBACK TO FETUS EXO DAYS??? LIKE THIS SONG TRIGGERS SO MANY MEMORIES IM NOT EVEN OKAY RN. also can we just - can SM please release the remix version of MAMA CUZ I WOULD GET IT IN A HEARTBEAT <3 Then without giving our poor hearts a second to rest, they jumped right into mONSTER!!!! IM WAS NOT READY FOR IT AND THEY JUST THREW IT AT ME WHAT. It was amazing as expected, the choreo and everything omfg.. it was LEGIT like copy and paste… AND CAN WE TAKE A MOMENTbc JONGDAE FREAKING BLEW THAT HIGH NOTE AWAY. wait where was that high note? BLEW AWAY BY JONGDAE’S GORGEOUS VOCALS THATS WHERE.
THEN yet another throwback, they performed wolf :’) it been so long since they performed it and omg It was beautiful. The tree added with projections, and it was a remix version which meant DANCE BREAK!!!!! Seriously it was SO SO GOOD like they added projections so that it seemed like they were entering and exiting the tree behind (LOOK IDK IF THAT MAKES SENSE BUT THATS WHAT HAPPENED OK). and it was just so perfect… perfect way to bring back the song.
THEN they finally took a break and did their first ment. can i just pause for a sec and mention how much i freaking love their black blouses? like the ones with the cuts. THEY’RE GORGEOUS AND THEY WEAR THEM SO WELL TT… Kyungsoo, suho and baek all mentioned that they’re going to comeback soon so to give them lots and lots of support (YES BC EXOLS PULL THRU). Sehun and his mandarin came through as expected HAHA and it was so cute - cuz he kept saying things like “are you enjoying yourselves?” “Did you miss us?” my hubby you go! Yixing greeted us in cantonese and it was so cute XD his voice when he speaks canto is the cUTEST THING EVER. i wanna wrap him up and bring him back home.. he started talking in canto about wanting us to support his film, but then paused to think - then after like 5 seconds, gave up and spoke in mandarin instead AHAHA XINGXING YOU CUTIE OMG. SPEAKING OF YIXING THO — Originally I didn’t know if he was going to attend this concert or not, because he’s been away for filming at guangzhou for the past couple of weeks, there’s hardly been any news of him so i wasn’t sure… BUT I WAS SO FLIPPIN HAPPY WHEN I SAW HIM COME OUT. FIRST THOUGHTS: DAMN SON YOU SLAY EVERYTHING. SECOND THOUGHT: his hair was really long HAHAHAH XD STILL SLAYING THE HANDSOME GAME THO. Suho kept mentioning that coming to HK always leaves good memories for him, and mentioned the EXO daesang win during MAMA AND THE CROWD WENT WILD ;D You know how much we support y’all.
Afterwards, they performed WHITE NOISE AND I WAS SO SURPRISED BC I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE GONNA DO THIS SONG — i made myself not watch any prior concert vids bc i wanted this to be complete surprise and HECK YEAH I WAS SURPRISED. It was a new dance and everything it was so fresh :’))) there were some body rolls here and there, and overall it was a lot more toned down than artificial love oH GOD ARTIFICIAL LOVE JUST WAIT HOLY. Middle of white noise they went to the centre hexagon and danced, but then out of nowhere WATER START POURING FROM THE TOP DOWN LIKE WHATTTTT THEN THEY STARTED DANCING IN THE POURING WATER LIKE ALL WET AND EVERYTHING X_X i was so so so happy bc sehun was always on my side of the stage so i was able to see and film him well <3 his dancing is en pointe as usual heh #proudwifey
THEN JESUS SAVE ME THEY PERFORMED THUNDER <3 <3 <3 AND SEHUN OWNED THAT STAGE LIKE IT WAS NOBODY’S BUSINESS He was on the center extended part, and damn like the stage should have been called FIRE, CUZ IT WAS LIT. Yixing and Jongin as always slayed the game too and the VOCALS FOR THIS WAS SO GREAT OMG LIKE IT WAS LIKE PERFECT :’)) also. jongin was being a huge TEASE bc he kept smirking and smiling while dancing :((( HAHA but it was lovely and made my heart thump <3
then they did playboy. rmb when playboy used to be the most sexual dance in their concert? YEAH NO JUST WATCH ARTIFICIAL LOVE HOLY i need to cleanse my eyes…. ANYWAY BEFORE THAT— this time playboy was done a bit differently, sekai wasn’t paired tgt, as pcy and osh were tgt, and kai had his own rising stage fanncaayy B) OH AND SIDE NOTE: I LOVE their laced up pants too..its very pretty and... its very tight LMAO gives me pirate vibes lol. i loved it bc the boys were all just having a TON of fun - like they came in yesterday night, and performed today thats just amazing if i compare that to the amount of energy they had today. THEY WERE LIKE HIGH OR SMTH SO CRAZY XD AND HYPER <3 but it was like a giant party so WOO!! Suho and chen went out to the farthest extended stage which meant I could see their features and OMG PRINCE SUHO ATTACKS AGAIN BC HE NEVER FAILS TO FAZE ME AT HOW BEAUTIFUL HE IS IRL. He’s like a LEGIT god descending from heaven…. <3 Chanyeol went to the hexagonal extended stage and did a solo dance there - it was beautiful :’) and YIXING was in the center extended just having a blast body rolling, pelvis thrusting JEEEEZ i need holy water.
JESUS NO ITS HERE. I CANT. IT WAS ARTIFICIAL LOVE NOW. omg i can’t even bare to talk about it I WAS SO….AHHHHH I CANT EXPLAIN OMG. i felt strange LMAO ok so right after playboy WHICH WAS ALREADY MILDY SEXY, they grabbed the canes from the side of the stage and as soon as the music came up i was like UH OH HERE IT COMES… and KAI WAS ON THE HEXAGONAL STAGE (yes im referring to him as kAI BECAUSE BABY NINI WOULD NEVER DO THAT)- AND OH JESUS IT WAS SUCH A SHOCKING MOMENT WHEN HE… UM.. GRINDED ON THE CANE?? GOSH EVEN TYPING IT MAKES ME FEEL DIRTY LMFAO I couldn’t even bring myself to film it bc i jUST CANT???? then, when switched positions, baekhyun was now where kai was, and another chorus came along which meant another grinding session (pls save me). When I watched baekhyun’s one i was ready to keep my eyes closed bc puppy baek grinding? it would destroy my image of him forever… BUT!! he was actually very reserved HAHAH XD i think it was just yixing, and kai who like 150% WENT FOR IT. ground like there was no tomorrow LMAO. so yeah long song short, KAI’S SEX APPEAL BROKE THE ROOF, and baekhyun was still a cutie BAHAHA XDD and then it was KAIXING duet dance break during artificial love with the BLINDFOLDS OMG SO SEXY HOLYY my poor heart :((
OMG AND UNFAIR!!!! I love the stage for unfair its so cute and unique, squishy kyungsoo popped out of a tv and a chair (oh i wish that were reality), just the entire performance aspect of it was top notch and so cute. After unfair, it was a short ment where exo all sat on the steps of the stage, and yixing and pcy sat on both ends holding guitars. WHICH MEANT ACOUSTIC MEDLEY TIME!!!! Yixing gave a short introduction about the medley (it was so nice to hear his voice after such a long time not hearing it) and then demo-ed the guitar by playing a little impromptu melody — reminds me of just how much of a genius zhang yixing is *heart eyes*. Chanyeol also did a quick demo and same thing goes for him.. how do they self learn things so well :((the first song that they sang in the acoustic medley was My Lady and I FLIPPED OUT BC IT WAS KYUNGSOO AND IT WAS R&B MY TWO FAV COMBOS <3 It was so nice to just sit and listen to their live vocals - and this really goes to show how much talent there is in exo. whoever disagrees should sit in one concert and just LISTEN TO THEIR FLAWLESS VOCALS. like seriously, there was no out of pitch moments (- wAIT AHHA THIS REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING FUNNY PCY DID). OKOK SO BASICALLY near the end of the medley, (I CANT RMB WHICH ACOUSTIC IT WAS RN BUT-) it was supposed to be baekhyun’s line but kyungsoo held his mic towards Chanyeol’s mouth (he was preoccupied with guitar playing) to prompt him to sing. PCY did sing baek’s line, but his voice cracked BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH XD AND THE FUNNIEST THING WAS: HE MADE THIS REALLY CUTE SHOCKED FACE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND TOUCHED HIS THROAT THEN SHOOK HIS HEAD. NAWWWWWWW <3 adorbs… in the acoustic, they covered so many songs - CMB (WHICH JONGIN SANG BEAUTIFULLY OMG), My turn to cry, lady luck… just some i could rmb off the top of my head rn at 2:17 am HAHA.. then at the very end, yixing sang an acoustic version of Monodrama - and the lyrics were on the screen so the entire crowd sang along-it was beautiful <3 <3 <3 - at the end, yixing looked really sheepish, and grabbed the mic saying, “i’m so sorry, i sang the demo version’s lyrics so I didn’t sing the right words heh” and then pcy BEING THE MEDIATOR HE IS, was like “eyyyyy they probably didn’t even hear the difference- did you guys hear the difference???” and obvs we screamed NO!!!! and then that made xingxing look even more sheepish SO SO CUTE X) the entire thing just sounded and felt like a warm campfire get together with exo ls and exo <3 it was heartwarming and beautiful and I’m so glad that they added this segment.
and then they did lady luck again- this time not acoustic, but the dance and song version and kyungsoo. just. his voice. like. it melted the entire arena down. his projections were all so stable it sounded like the studio recorded version :’))) they danced on rising stages and everything was just so aesthetically perfect.. If i’m being completely honest, this time around, I was putting my focus deliberately more on sehun because i remember last year during exoluxion when i was front row, i could only really focus on whoever was in front of my area of the stage, which meant i missed a lot of sehun when he performed :( so i made the decision to FEED MY EYES AND HEART fully of sehun this time as last time, i was kyungsoo came to the front a lot and i kyungsoo’s vocals and dance fed me fully hehe (ohhh good times :’)) so yeah i wanted to say that kyungsoo’s vocals blew me away here because his LIVES ARE ACTUALLY PERFECT???how. haha bc his voice is made of honey chocolate <3
they performed TENDER LOVE next and I got shook all together again because THEY ALL INTERACTED WITH THE FANS THROUGH THE LIGHTSTICK :’D THEY each grabbed a lightstick and as soon as the song started baekhyun yelled “PUT YOUR HANDS UP!” :D yixing walked to the center extended stage and the next thing i knew, the STAGE WAS RISING UP LIKE A RAMP AND MY QUOTED WORDS AT THAT TIME CAUGHT ON VIDEO WAS “WOAH LOOK AT THAT STAGE” i was so surprised IT LOOKED LIKE A COMPLETE FUN HOUSE :DD All the members were just having a ton of silly fun during the song by just jumping :D during the chorus they would direct the crowd into little movements sequences we could do with the lightsticks and it was so nice bc it was like a little dance party - and they all looked so proud haha like we were all together - WE ARE ONE!! hehe Sehun came up to the farthest extended stage and danced on the stage closer to my side which was AMAZING <3 which meant that he was directing my block in the light stick moves ^^ i just thought it was super nice that they were able to interact with all of us in that way, include us all in that way it was very heartwarming <3
then LMR came up!! a lot earlier than last year’s one actually. fun and quirky as usual, BAEK’S VOCALS YES. they all danced so energetically and so hyped up, it was so so so AMAZING TO SEE THAT <3 esp sehun bc he’s usually the type that dances to the extent that is enough to show that he’s doing the moves, but this time he added so many more little side moves of his that spiced things up a lot hehe..
During One and Only, i think someone that stood out the most for me was def jongin. his vocals during the song was just something straight from all things good in the world. it was so good :’))) I’m so impressed by how much he has improved his vocal abilities over the years and is truly developing his own distinctive voice <3 OH AND the official HK exo fan club organized an event where during performance of One and Only, representatives in the crowd would hold up letters that spelt “EXO You Are My One and Only”.
omg and possibly my favorite part of the concert….. kai x sehun x lay WATER DANCE WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I am not at all exagerating when i say that every millisecond of what i saw looked like something out of a painting. IT WAS GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL (how many times have i said beautiful omg). they were all so in sync, and everyone gave it their all and it shows <3 THEN CAME THE MOMENT THE WATER STARTED FILLING THE GROND AND WHERE ALL 3 OF THEM JUST DROPPED TO THE GROUND (how do they not break their knees is my question) IT WAS SO SO *fight the urge to say beauti—* BEAUTIFUL <3 I’m sorry there are no other words to describe how amazingly godlike the entire performance was.. then when the water started pouring from the top OH DAMN THAT WAS THE CLIMAX. so they danced in the water with water pouring all over their heads and bodies and THE EFFECT LOOKED SO ETHEREAL like aM I EVEN ALIVE? HAVE I GONE TO HEAVEN? BC THIS IS WHAT I THINK HEAVEN WILL LOOK LIKE TBH. 3 DANCING WATER ANGELS <3 ahHAHA so yeah and when it ended, they 3 were kneeling in the water, and jongin had to be all extra and stuff and run his hand through his hair, gazing dangerously sexily into the audience.. yep THERE GOES MY OVARIES BOOM. THANK YOU OSH, KAI AND YIXING.
AND THEN IT WAS VOCAL LINE TIME TO SHINE!!! Stronger was performed, and it was all i could ask for to have all four of them, kyungsoo, baek, chen, and suho sing this song… esp during stressful times THANK YOU <3 also the vocals were just off the charts at 200% today like they even said themselves that they’re feeling great today WHICH MAKES ME SO DAMN HAPPY :’’)))) oMG THEN THEY PLAYED THE REALLY CUTE VCR OF EXO AS NOMES (??) HAHA dancing and stuff, then they came out of the back wearing the cute af pointy hats and elf shoes XDDD CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! they sang HEAVEN as they came out and it was SO CUTE and also the way that kyungsoo wears his pointy hat, OVER HIS FOREHEAD AND TOUCHING HIS EYES IS SO DAMN SQUISHY OF HIM AHHH :3 he’s so adorable CAN I TAKE HIM HOME PLS along with the rest of exo!!!!! Then they took off their costumes to sing Girl x Friend and it was honestly so great.. xingxing was dancing and pointing out to the audience to guide them in singing the song, sehun came out again to the middle to just enjoy the stage, and kyungsoo was sining happily waving a nightstick around ^^ WAIT OMG ALMOST FORGOT — SEHUN WAS WEARING SPECS DURING THIS AHAHAH HE LOOKED SO DAMN HOT I CANNOT EVEN. SEHUN IN SPECS MAKES ME REEVALUATE MY LIFE. <3 hot hubby hehe
Then 3.5.6 WAS LITTTTTTT haha everyone was dancing and as EXPECTED!!! they did the weird “ooh ooh” sounds in between the 3.6.5 chorus lines xDD HAH now it sounds weird to listen to the studio version one cuz it doesn’t have those sounds LMAO. THEN EXO BECAME A BUNCH OF MEANIES BC THEY FINISHED THE SONG AND as soon as the lights turned up, they were like, “okay, bye! Thank you for coming!” “See you tomorrow” (BISH LIKE WE HAVE MONEY TO SEE U 2 CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN A ROW ALTHOUGH ID VERY MUCH LOVE TO), and the entire crowd AWW’ed and whined like NO! you can’t leave us like this :((( they were so mean…
BUT THEN THEY CAME OUT WEARING THOSE COPPERY COLORED JACKETS and performed TRANSFORMER like in MAMA but EVEN BETTER <3 <3 <3 I really love the part where they all come together and do the roboty like thing. i think i have a new found love for transformer OOPS x) it was so cool like the choreo too!! it was so sharp and just overall. ANNND THEN THEY DID LIGHTSABER~~~ everything was lit. DANCE WAS LIT, SONG WAS LIT, RAP WAS LIT, ALLLSO there was a special dance part near the end where everyone got ‘lightsabers’ and STARTED SWINGING THE CRAP OUT OF IT HAHAHA. and as to no surprise. MORE WATER!! haha water started pouring again (honestly I’ve lost count HAHA) they’re so obsessed with water… or they just want the wet clothes to stICK TO THEIR ABS? x_X
then they took a break and did another ment - which was good cuz i needed that break HAHAHA xD sehun, pcy, yixing and minseok went backstage first to change out of their wet clothes, while baek, suho, kai, chen, kyungsoo, stayed behind to talk. They talked about how nice it was that Jongin was muscular bc he was good at exercising which made nini really embarrassed HAHA.. then joonmyeon turned to kyungsoo and was like, “what about you?” and squishy soo didn’t say anything and just bowed. NAW ITS OK PENGUIN SOO I LIKE IT BETTER WHEN YOU DONT HAVE RIPPED MUSCLES :D Then, Baekhyun said in the ment that, “During One and Only you guys held some letters up, but I couldn’t really see them as I was dancing, what did it say again? Could you raise it again so I could read?” so the representatives in the crowd did, and Baekhyun, Chanyeol read it out. THEN HAHA WHATS FUNNY IS baekhyun then said, “oh! i see now. But you know it’s not because we don’t know how to read english, we do- its because you guys held one letter upside down so we couldn’t read” UHMM SAVAGE BAEK ???!?!!? HAHAHA BUT IT WAS SUPER FUNNY XD. Then joonmyeon pitched in and said he thought that the M and Y were going to spell MYEON, which made him suspect that “oh? maybe they’re preparing something for my birthday……?” HAHAH NEXT TIME JOONMYEON NEXT TIME WE PROMISE <3 such a cutie.
AHAH ANOTHER FUNNY PART!! Baekhyun wanted us all to be quiet for a bit bc he wanted to say something but the crowd didn’t stay quiet for long, so he kept shushing us, like “sh! sh! SHHH!” and then he started saying SH in a really fast and abrupt way, IT SOUNDED LIKE HE SWORE AND SAID SH*T XD AND EVERYONE STARTED LAUGHING HAHAHAHAH don’t think he noticed but oh well baaha cute. baek went on to say how hard they’ve been preparing for their new album, so requested for us to show it lots of love when it comes out (OF COURSE!!! ITS A GIVEN1!!)
AHH ok so those 5 went backstage to change and now pcy, sehun, yixing, minseok came out to ment. During the ment, minseok said that he felt sorry because he messed up during the lightsaber perf. He said that it wasn’t because he forgot the moves, but because the water was pouring into his shirt, and it was so cold that he momentarily forgot what he was supposed to do (poor baby… please don’t get sick any of you :\\). Then PCY started going “沒關係” which is “no problem” in cantonese and got the entire crowd to repeat over and over until minseok told us to stop HAHA :3 then sehun decided to ment next, and he told a “funny” story - which really wasnt funny at all HAHA srsly no one understood what he was trying to say HAHAH or the purpose of the story he was telling - anyway at the end when he realized that no one understood what he was saying, he said, “i’m just trying to lighten up the mood from the sorry atmosphere minseok hyung set up just now..” then PCY again did the “no problem” chant and got the entire crowd in on it again x). Then to compensate, sehun asked us to all give a collective fake laugh AHHA AT HIS FAILED JOKE XD i can’t this boy is everything. then yixing went around giving a cantonese lesson for the other 3 boys, teaching them how to say thank you, hello, my name is___ except the fact that he forgot how to say the members names in canto xD
After the ment, yixing went back and pcy x sehun x minseok did a rap song that i believe is only exclusive to the concerts? its called “같이해” which means “do it together”. THIS. SONG. WAS. FREAKING. LIT. SEHUN FREAKING OWNED THAT STAGE LIKE IT WAS HIS AND NO ONE ELSES B) HE WAS IN CENTER STAGE MOST THE TIME, AND WENT ON THE RISING RAMP WHICH WAS SUUUUPER COOL. He was so full of charisma on stage i couldn’t take my eyes off him for even a second. he demanded attention in everything he did HAHAH THATS MY BOO then this lit rap transitioned into DROP THAT when all members joined them on stage, and IT WAS AS LIT AS IT WAS LAST YEAR WOO so so nice. “we say e-x, you say o! , e-x-“ “O!” so nice *sparkling eyes* OMG ALSO CHANYEOL DID AN ELECTRIC GUITAR COVER OF GROWL AND IT WAS FREAKING COOL AF
ooooohhhh then next they did the cool little Let Out the Beast remix starting with the lightstick part. It was a bit of a shame that they did not organize this concert to have the bluetooth setting so it lost a wow factor there, but STILL THE REMIX SONG WAS GREAT AND THEY DID A DANCE REMIX IT WAS SO EFFING COOL AND OLD SCHOOL I LOVE IT SO MUCH <3
Following that, they performed Lucky, where everyone LEGIT WENT CRAZY HYPER HAHA THEY DID RANDOM DANCES AND EVERYTHING speaking of random dances, CHANYEOL DABBED LIKE AT LEAST 10 TIMES HERE JEEEAASUS and did juju on the beat hAHAHA I WAS SHOOK lmao THEN they did RUN and yixing was near the part where i was at so I had a very clear view of him going CRAZYYY like actually CRAZY!! he was doing all sorts of random running moves, and just having a ton of fun :’)) this was so impactful on me because i rmb last year, they flew in to hk really early and at the same day they had to perform so lay was really really tired that day. but to see him so hyper and energetic was so refreshing and it made me really hyped up too :’) little xing bunny jumping for joy haha
GROWL MY FAV SONG came out and everything was SO PERFECT haha this time the members freely walked around first and interacted with fans. then park chanyeol. okay so um. this boy has a problem with chronic DABBING AND JUJU-ING. he DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO STOP LITERALLY DOES NOT STOP. HE DABBED LIKE AVERAGE EVERY 5 SECONDS NOT EXAGGERATING. And then baekhyun learned from him and started to dab and juju uncontrollably too ._. not you too baek AHAH but in all honesty it was so funny to watch XD pcy did so many dabs that sehun had to almost flying kick him to get him back to his regular mind haha. THEY WERE CRAZILY HYPER today and i LOVE IT SO MUCH <3 AHAH AND THEN YIXING WAS SO CUTE CUZ during the beginning of growl when everyone walked everywhere, he walked to the furthest extended stage, but during the bridge he was supposed to get back to the middle to do the dance part. He only remembered when the music turned and had to RUN FOR HIS LIFE back to the centre aND IT WAS SO CUTE CUZ I SAW THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE REMEMBERED XD PRICELESS.
Lucky One was next, and similarly it was free-dance and walk around which was nice and chill for them ^^ but jongdae did not give up on the dance and still did it throughout ahah #dedication. near the end, suho was the only one dancing and pcy and sehun were both doing weird af gestures behind him LOL .. and then it was time for the last ment D: I’m sad just thinking about it again….
So at the start of the ment, when pcy was talking, jongin bent over and looked really tired, which is expected since he danced with so much energy during the entirety of the concert - but he suddenly ran off stage, and no one knew what was going on- i started to get really nervous because i didn’t know what happened, if he was sick or hurting and i felt really sad :( my heart hurt. But then when it got around to about fixing’s turn to ment, jongin finally came back and all the members were like, “kai-sshi where did you disappear off to just now?” and HAHA HE SAID, “i had to go to the bathroom really urgently i was very very urgent” HAHAHAHA XD NOT WHAT ANYONE OF US WERE EXPECTING LMAO IM DECEASED XDD Then the members teased him and were like, “Kai-sshi is your stomach not feeling well (aka do u have a stomach ache/diarrhoea)?” and he immediately denied it and said, “nO! I just went to the toilet to pee hahah i was so urgent.” Then he said, “You know, after coming back from the toilet, my mood is so much more relieved” BAHAHHAHAHA “RELIEVED?!?!” IM DEAD AGAIN.. then PCY started saying, “so did you go to the toilet to … number 2?” HAHAH and jongin said, “NO! I WENT TO DO A NUMBER 1” IT WAS SO FUNNY MY ABS HURT AHAHAHA THEY WERE ARGUING ABOUT THE TOILET ON STAGE I CANT WITH THESE BOYS.. XD
Channel kept dabbing and juju-ing still, which triggered baekhyun to do the same, AND I KID YOU NOT, they DID NOT STOP DOING THAT UNTIL THE ENTIRE MENT WAS OVER FOR EVERYONE XD THESE TWO PUPS.. baekhyun’s ment consisted of him teaching us how to dab LMAO he was like “i’ll teach you the easy one (the dab), bc the other one (the juju) is more complex” LOL THANKS TEACHER BAEK. so yeah long story short, he got the entire arena to dab. yup. EVERYONE. us all dabbing only exacerbated chanyeol’s chronic dabbing syndrome and he continued to do it, with baekhyun responding to him every single time. #CHANBAEK OTP FTW. throughout all the dabbing sehun was just judging and like “ai these hinges…” but then eventually he caved and also did dabs AHHAHA, yixing, chen were laughing so hard. the thing is, suho is trying to give his ment properly, and there you have chanyeol on one end, baekhyun on the other DABBING TOWARDS EACH OTHER OK LIKE THESE BOYS ARE NOT OK. WHAT DID THEY EAT BEFORE COMING OUT HERE?? Eventually suho gave up AHAH and dabbed too (…….) WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS DABBING….?!!??! also . baekhyun couldn’t help it and decided to teach us the juju too so. LMAO. AND THEN BAEK SAID, “the dab move i taught you! when we sing Angel for the last song, I want you to dab throughout the song!” THIS IS HOW OBSESSED THEY ARE OK. IM BEING HONEST, PCY AND BAEK added tgt for the entire concert prob dabbed and juju-ed like 50 times each . NOT. AN EXAGGERATION. Haha so yeah, fun times..
During Angel, fans threw stuff toys and animal hats on stage, and exo went around playing with them. Baekhyun found a pikachiu hat and chanyeol found a stuffed pokeball = chanyeol smashing the pokeball at poor baekhyun who ended up rolling on the stage xD. Sehun found a dinosaur hat and a snake that he wrapped around his neck (how exotic LOL), then he found a small stuffed white puppy that looked like Vivi. and he carried it all the way back to the stage where he said in chinese, “Vivi says, ‘see you tomorrow!’” (CAN HE GET ANY CUTER???). AND THEN omg the sweetest part was how yixing liteally went to every corner and crevice of the stage to bow and say goodbye and thankyou to the fans :’(((( IM CRYING HE’S LITERALLY THE SWEETEST BUNNY TT he was the last to return to the back part of the stage where baekhyun said they wanted to take a photo with all of us dabbing in the background (LMAO). it was so sad to see them all disappear behind the closing screens, how did time pass so quickly? it felt like we just came in to sit down..
it was an INSANE night. SO MUCH HYPE, SO LIT, SO FUN AND TRUELY showed the talents and nature of exo :’) they really had so much fun and as an EXO-L that is all I can ask for. Im so glad that they were able to get a nights rest before the concert this time unlike last year, because they were so much more awake and aware of the concert. they were all so into it and so CRAZY HYPER HAHA. Interestingly, baekhyun, suho both talked about how this Exo’rdium in HK was the VERY FIRST concert they held in the new year of 2017. WHICH WAS SUCH A HUGE THING!! they were all so energetic and excited about the concert that they asked for everyone in the crowd to dab while they took a group photo with us in the background - I AM OFFICIALLY SIGNING OFF. THEY ASKED US TO DAB FOR A PHOTO IM DONE. LMAO IM DOOONNEEE
So yeah…. that was a LONG ASS POST but it was worth staying up to 4am to write about <3 the best part was that when we looked at the time it was 10:32pm. we started at 7pm SHARP. which meant this concert went on for 3 and a half hours. 3 AND A HALF HOURS. THATS AMAZING AND GENEROUSLY LONG <3 This beautiful memory will stay with me forever and motivate me to do well in upcoming mocks and exams ^^ EXO SARANGHAJA!!!!! <3 WOOOOOO
#exordiumhk#exordium hong kong#exordium hk day 1#exo#021117#just rereading it and rewatching the videos makes me so emotional all over again#until next time that i see you my babies#<3

I just have to let you know.
I bet you’re way more happier with her than you were with me, and for that i am really happy for you. You’ve found your happiness, and the pain i feel is beyond explainable. Its inevitable. I’m relentlessly broken. It hurts every single time my thoughts drifts back to you. It aches a little deep down in my chest.
You were there to light my days, the one to guide me through when my days were down and low, you were the one to have picked me up when i come crashing down. I have to be honest with you, i blame myself for throwing myself at you. It was always me calling you nicknames, dumb, stupid, idiot. But now you’re gone, i feel like the biggest loser on earth. The biggest idiot to have lived, the most imbecilic to have breathed. It hurts so badly at the back of my throat every single time someone asks me about the love of my life, because i always find myself thinking of you when they do. But i’m forced to keep it to myself.
You were the one to always loosen the rope that ties up both my hands together. Look at how things change, cause now you’re the train and i’m tied to the tracks.
Is it my fault that my heart wants you. It wants what it wants and i cant do shit to stop myself from feeling this way and it aches me every single time i think of the impossible. Such like bumping into you in a couple of years from now, and maybe then will be the right timing. Maybe.
You were my almost.
“You were my everything but i was your nothing. You were my whole night sky but i was just a star to you. You were my whole universe but i was just dirt to you.”
I do not know what hurts the most. The fact that you left me. Or the fact that you left me unknowingly. Without a reason, without a clue. You got me stumbling, tripping over something that i did not do. You got me wandering at 2am in the morning, thinking of what i had done or what i did not do to get to this point.
You made me, and then you break me.
You reached your hand out to pull me out from this pit of fire only to have push me into a bigger pit of fire. You were hell in disguise.
You are cruel. Wait. Cruel would be an understatement.
You fed me fables which turns out to be lies. You fed me bullshit that i was too blind to see. Your love made me blind and you made a fool of me, you made it look so perfect when it was not meant to be. You treated me like a fool, you played me so well, so dirty. How could you have the heart, the audacity to do what you did?
I was so willing to pull you out of the misery you portrayed yourself as. I was so willing to have cut off my arms for you if it means helping you feel a whole lot more better of yourself. But how could i not realise of how big of a shitty person you are? If you were in my head and had to hear my plea, i bet you wouldn’t even give two shits.
Said you’d come right back, now you’re gone like that.
You played your pity game, hugged me tight and then pushed me away, You’re fucking indecisive. Well done for turning it to me, when all these while you know why i did what you did. I pulled a you on you, and you did not like that shit. You’re full of lies, I wonder a lot of how you feel about yourself. You’re torturous, You’re the sharpest knife i’ve ever fondled with. You’re the biggest most worst conflict i’ve ever meddled with.
You turned all the blame onto me. You played your game so smoothly yet so surely that i would fall into despair. You got the wrong girl if you think that i was going to fall for your games.
You’re full of fucking shit.
And i’m not saying this to try to bash you.
Im only saying this because you lost touch of what we had.
Without finding out what i really felt, you were so determined to have thought i would do you so wrong. Without a single bit of realisation that you were the one playing, the one trifling.
I tell all my friends that i truly do not regret having to know you. Instead i would like to thank you for breaking me. You made me the me i am now. Im a whole lot stronger now, you made me a whole lot braver to face danger now. But then again, you probably do not deserve these thank you’s. Because besides all of these, i would like to say fuck you to you too, for you are the reason i got trust issues with every boy that comes along and tells me i am their blessing. Because of you i look away when boys with warm hazel eyes stares me deep in the eye. You are the reason that i pull away when someone hugs me tight just because. You are the reason i listen to sad songs almost most of the time. You are the reason i push people away because i felt like they were just around because they are forced to. You are the reason why i lie when someone asks me if i’m okay, i lie and tell them i am okay eventho’ i am not. Because i am too afraid they might use it as an advantage to step over my head, to belittle me. And that maybe they asked because they just wanted to know without a single care in the world. You are the fucking reason i isolate myself most of my time venting out my feelings on Tumblr, for instance this post. So fuck you.
Fuck you.
Nonetheless, i do not hate you. You were still something/someone i really loved for a short period of time. I do not hate you now, in case you were curious.....
I just really, really, really, despise you.
Im better now. I do not care as much as i used to before. Or better saying, i do not even give a single fuck anymore.
Now when people mention your name, it’s just a word to me that means no shit. Your existence is nothing to me now. I am not even bothered. I should’ve known....
You were just the same.
But i’m good now.
I wish you well, stranger.

Every second odd number for the ask meme!
this will be a lot bc thats, 25 questions if i can do math right so im going 2 put the ones after 5 under a read more!
1) How old were you when you first starting writing fanfiction?
eleven? ish?? it was around the time i was finishing primary school!
3) Do you prefer writing OC’s or reader inserts? Explain your answer.
OCs because theres a certain disconnect from the place im writing from, and whenever i use 2nd person it often isn’t with the reader in mind, bc when i write 2nd person i imagine that its the authors voice, so the narrator isn’t the reader its the author. idk if that makes sense. anyways OCs are fun bc there might be elements of a real person in it but they also seems incredibly autonomous
5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?
most of my multichaptered stories date back at least five years, my most recent one would be fuel cap, but i am very fond of the bear n the boy, and so im rewriting it!
7) When is your preferred time to write?
hmm between 9pm to around 2am it’s when i have the most inspiration!
9) In your xxx fic, what’s your favourite scene that you wrote?
i imagine this is supposed to be more specific, but i’ll apply it to the team 20 cinematic universe lmao. i love the scene where tsunade’s reacting to hiroko and takashi in the hospital.
11) Have you ever amended a story due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?
not that i can think of? i dont have fics big enough to get criticisms? i dont think i can think of one instance outside of creative writing classes
13) Who is your least favourite character to write for? Why?
sasuke, he’s..... like that....... u kno
15) If you write OC’s, how do you decide on their names?
i’ve answered this one! over here!
17) Post a line from a WIP that you’re working on.
and this one’s here
19) Are there any stories that you’ve written that you’d really love to do a sequel to?
hmmm yes! not like you! i’d like to explore the team 20 dynamics in a different world, perhaps in the past when kazue is still an active villain or even in the future w/o kazue!
21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?
blackkat ! she has a ton of fic and theyre all very long and have amazing characterisations as well as storylines, she isn’t afraid to deviate from canon and i love that.
23) Do you prefer listening to music when you’re writing or do you need silence?
i like to listen to music! or just have some sort of noise, i don’t usually even Hear it it’s just nice to have something else there.
25) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?
check out the link in q17
27) Do you make a general outline for your stories or do you just go with the flow?
i had a plan for the bear n the boy, but i dont have one for fuel cap. so it depends really? the team 20 ones i do just on the fly but the hwarang ones i had a definite solid outline i wanted to hit points with.
29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?
my team 20 ones, though i totally understand bc theyre really all just OCs
31) Send me a fic recommendation and I’ll post it for my followers to see! (The asker is to send the rec not the answerer)
