If you’re still taking prompts, Tommy spending time with Maddie?

Oh I like this!

----

"At least this time it was planned." Maddie offered

"Yeah... And the nurse did say everything is going according to plan earlier."

"But you still worry."

"Yeah." Tommy chuckled. "I convinced him to get it done now so he'd be back on his feet by the time the little one starts walking."

Maddie smiled and rubbed her pregnant belly.

"Yeah I think he is looking forward to meeting his family. He's about to walk right out of there in a minute. Jee wasn't this restless."

"I guess he takes after his father then. I've never known Howie to be calm and relaxed." Tommy commented "Well... off the clock at least." he added after a beat and they both laughed.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, drinking bad hospital coffee and Tommy's eyes fixed on the door.

"What about you two?" Maddie asked.

"Hmm?"

Tommy reluctantly tore his eyes away from the door and looked at her.

"One of these." she gestured at her belly.

"I don't think either of us is at risk of getting pregnant any time soon." Tommy deadpanned and laughed when Maddie slapped his bicep.

"You know what I mean. Am I going to be an aunt any time soon?"

Tommy sat up straighter and played with the lid of his coffee cup.

"We've talked about it. Marriage, kids... the whole nine yards... and we want the same things..."

"But..." Maddie prompted.

"But... not just yet." Tommy shook his head. "We've only been back together about six months. And the last time we rushed into things it didn't go so well. So one step at a time for now."

"Isn't he moving in with you when he's discharged?"

"Yeah but that's because he's going to need a lot of help. Especially the first few months. And those stairs in the loft are lethal."

"He managed before..."

"Maybe. But he doesn't have to anymore now. I have a bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor at my place and the stairs aren't so damn steep, he can easily manage them with crutches if needed."

Suddenly the door opened and one of the doctors walked up to them.

"Evan Buckley's family?"

Tommy was on his feet in seconds.

"That's right. How is he?"

The doctor gave him a tired smile.

"The operation was a success. No complications. Straight out of the medical text books."

"So he's ok?"

"He has a long road to recovery ahead of him, but I don't see why he shouldn't make a full recovery in due time." The doctor told them. "He'll still be asleep for a while, but one of the nurses will come get you when they've gotten him settled back in, in his room and you can sit with him."

Tommy let out a sigh of relief while Maddie thanked the doctor before they left the two of them to it again.

"He's ok." Maddie said, slipping her arm through Tommy's. "He's ok."

About ten minutes later a nurse came to get them and took them to Buck's room. He was still fast asleep but apart from a pulse oximeter on his finger and a cast on his leg, he looked just like he would on a regular day at home.

Tommy sat down next to the bed and softly brushed the curls off his forehead, while Maddie sat down on the other side and held Buck's hand in hers.

"You know he always hated that?"

"Hated what?"

"His curls. People playing with them." Maddie explained. "I used to do it when he was little but when he got old enough to pick his own hairstyle, the curls were gone and everyone was forbidden to touch his hair. I think I still have some pictures of when he gave himself a haircut when he was about 12 or 13."

Tommy grinned.

"If you can still find them, I'd love to see them."

"I'll get Howie to look for them." Maddie promised. "But what I'm trying to say is... he's changed since he met you. For the better."

"I did tell him I liked the curls once... He hadn't had time to get a haircut in a while and his hair was getting longer and the curls just made him look... soft." Tommy smiled, running his hands through Buck's hair.

Maddie smiled.

"Not just the hairstyle. Or wearing clothes in his actual size instead of at least two sizes too small." She laughed. "But he's... more comfortable in his own skin. He's content. Happy in a way I've never seen him before. And that's down to you."

"I don't know about that..." Tommy ducked his head.

"I do." Maddie insisted. "You're good for him. You're good for each other."

Buck began to stir and groaned as he opened his eyes. He rolled his head to the side and smiled when he saw Tommy.

"Hey you." Tommy said and got up to press a kiss to the top of his head. "Welcome back. How are you feeling?"

"Hmokay... better when the room stops spinning... and there's only one of you. is my leg still there?" he reached out to touch his leg and then realised someone was holding his hand. He turned his head and saw his sister. "Maddie!" he said happily, like he hadn't seen her in years.

"Hi." she giggled and squeezed his hand. "They've got you on the good stuff, huh."

"They fixed my leg." he explained. "Tommy said I should do it now. For the baby." He frowned. "Not our baby." He turned his head back to the other side to look at Tommy. "You're not having a baby... right?"

Tommy bit his lip to stop himself from laughing.

"No, no I'm not. But your sister is."

Buck turned back to Maddie.

"You're having a baby?" he asked, and then noticed her pregnant belly. "You're having a baby! Wait... i-is that Tommy's baby?"

"What? No!" Maddie said and both her and Tommy burst out laughing. "I don't think I'm really his type."

"Yeah, sorry, I prefer the other Buckley." Tommy said laughingly.

Buck frowned.

"Who?"

"You." Tommy told him and softly kissed him. "I'm going to get a nurse. Let them know you're awake. I'll be right back." He got up and left the room with Buck looking at him with a dopey smile that wasn't just the anaesthetic.

"I love him." Buck declared, still looking at the door.

Maddie smiled and gave his hand another squeeze.

"I know. He loves you too."

"Yeah? Yeah!" Buck replied answering his own question. "I'm going to marry him. I have a ring." he said, just as Tommy came back in with a nurse.

"Hello mister Buckley, glad to see you awake." the nurse told him as she quickly checked him over. "The operation went well, and you should be able to go home in a few days."

Buck nodded and turned to Maddie.

"You need to call Eddie for me. He has the ring. I need it... for Tommy. I'm going to marry him."

"I'll call him." Maddie promised. sharing a look with Tommy over the bed.

"Good. I'm just... sleep..." Buck mumbled as he started to drift off again.

"He probably won't remember this conversation when he wakes up again." the nurse told them. "I'm guessing you're Eddie?" she asked Tommy who shook his head.

"I'm Tommy. And I guess I better start working on my surprised face."

Just Imagine....

Dating Sammie for about three months. You knew he was learning to play guitar, you supported it. He was getting better and better, more and more. One day you both are out. He needs to get one of the strings on the guitar fixed. Afterward you both end up at one of the favorite spots in the city. They got good food. Not only that, it's a place for local talent to perform. That part of the evening commences and Sammie decides to get up on stage and do his thang. You just think he's gonna show off his guitar skills. Before you can blink, this man bust out in song....

💙🥵✨👏🏿

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

By the end of the song, this yo' face. Like, this man could have been singing me sweet nothings this whole time! This must be how Ariel got Eric to fall in love with her in the Little Mermaid because just that deep voice alone is honey....

HIII ITS ME LUNA AND THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ASKING SOMETHING FOR YOU🫶😍

Anyways— there’s this thought that passed my mind and I need to ask you since you’re the CEO of Husband!Jinwoo:

“How would he react to the Hamilton Musical, especially the song ‘Say No to This’ where Alexander Hamilton cheats on his wife instead of taking a break for a week as his wife requested him to?”

If you are familiar with this musical of course– ‘cause I dare you, my curious ass is wondering how would our good ‘ol Jinwoo handle this?😭

And ALSO!– I think he would be the type of girl dad who gets confused on every musicals his daughter listens and sings out loud in random basis; he would just give her a nasty confused side-eye wondering what his kid’s yapping about…

CEO OF HUSBAND!JINWOO LMFAOOOOO LUNA 😭😭😭😭😭

okay i'm not really a musical girl so i had to google and listen to it but wow this is actually catchy hahaha

ANYWAY in my head i can picture husband/papa jinwoo sitting on the couch with a book in hand, sipping his morning coffee, and then his wife plays this song on speakers while she's making breakfast, and there's the little princess (now a full grown toddler) sitting on the kitchen island, bobbing her head to the song while she's braiding beru's wig (yes sometimes beru puts on a blue princess costume and a long blonde wig so he can immerse himself further into the "queen elsa" role he's playing—cause he has ice powers. he takes his role very seriously)

at first, jinwoo listens to the song (not because he wants to, but because the three of them are singing it loud enough for the entire shadow realm to hear) but he doesn't really put his mind into it (every musical track sounds the same to him lol)

but the more the song goes on the more he goes "wait 🤨" and then he starts listening to it and he's like "is this song talking about a man having an affair?"

his wife: "err... yeah?"

jinwoo, stares flatly: "and you play this song in front of our daughter?"

"wha—she likes it!"

"I like it!" the princess chirps

"I fancy it as well!" says beru in his girly voice it sounds horrifying

"cancel summon."

"NO MY LIEGE—" poof!

wife, gasping: "He didn't even do anything!"

"his elsa voice irritates me."

the song goes: "My husband's doin' me wrong. Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me. Suddenly he's up and gone. I don't have the means to go on."

jinwoo, deadpan: "domestic abuse? really?"

wife, chuckling: "it's just a musical, honey."

the song continues: "I said 'well, I should head back home', she turned red, she led me to her bed, let her legs spread and said 'stay?'"

silence.

jinwoo, placing his hands over his daughter's ears, still deadpan: "you're playing a song about a woman spreading her legs to a married man in front of our baby?"

"okay, when you put it like that—"

"turn it off."

"yes, sir."

"welcome to america" by lecrae is the closest a mainstream christian musician can get to anarchist christian/socialist christian/communist christian without people noticing because they're just grooving to lecrae's masterful flows and the epic beats and "this couldn't happen to me" etc etc etc
