Field Trip To Greece

My own take on the Field Trip salt stories that usually are crossovers with Batman and have Damienette. But this is my version with them going to Greece and involves my OCs Lyon and Vallia Garden.

*****

“Mari, Mari, MARI,” Adrien basically yelled into his friend’s ear.

Marinette woke up with a jolt in her bus seat.

“What,” she groaned, never being much of a morning person.

“We’re almost at the sanctuary, so I figured to wake you up,” Adrien smiled at his friend.

“Thanks and curse how fast this bus is,” Marinette said.

“And curse Hawkmoth for late night akumas,” Adrien suggested.

“That to,” Marinette agreed. “Even in Greece, he still finds a way to annoy us in Paris.”

“Well, you brought the horse miraculous for a reason,” Adrien said.

“How are you not tired,” Marinette questioned him.

“I’ve always been a morning person,” Adrien shrugged. “Blame my father for a lot of early morning photoshoots.”

“I’d slap your father if it did not mean risking my future as a fashion designer in the process,” Marinette says.

After revealing themselves to each other after Miracle Queen, the two had developed a more brother-sister relationship. They both thought that it would be better for them to know each other after having all their allies exposed to Hawkmoth and Mayura. They joked around, teased each other, and also always had each others backs.

Having each other’s backs certainly helped them when Lila’s lies got worse. After Chloe had willingly helped Hawkmoth, she had been sent to a private reformatory school in Sweden. Lila took the opportunity to tell more of her lies, saying that she had been telling her “best friend” Ladybug to keep the Bee miraculous away from Chloe for months. And just like everything else Lila ever said, their class ate it up like it was their last meal.

Adrien had joined Marinette almost immediately after he made his “deal with the devil” in order to get her back into school. He threw himself off the “high road” the moment that Marinette told him that Lila threatened her. But even with him backing up Marinette every time she caught inconsistencies in Lila’s tales, there were still few that actually believed them. Some even went as far as scolding Marinette for her “brainwashing Adrien” into thinking that Lila was a liar.

Kim, Juleka, and Nathaniel were the only ones that stayed loyal to their friends. Especially since Marinette had done so much for them in the past. Like curing Juleka of her photo curse, helping Nathaniel get together with Marc, and Kim had been her friend since they were in diapers. With their group was also Kagami, Luka, Marc, Aurore, and Mireille. The rest of Bustier’s class was pretty much made up of Lila’s attack dogs.

What annoyed Adrien the most was how his so-called best friend. Nino may be siding with his girlfriend, Alya being Lila’s biggest supporter/attack dog, but that also meant he was part of the problem. He certainly never helped Adrien when Lila would constantly hold onto his arm no matter how many times he told her to let go. It was driving Adrien crazy and he was very close to taking Plagg up on his offer to Cataclysm the liar.

“I bet the garden is going to be beautiful,” Juleka says, her seat next to the two heroes.

She was sitting next to Nathaniel while Kim was in the seat in front of Adrien and Marinette. They were all in the seats at the back of the bus.

“I heard that the Garden Family Sanctuary is ranked as an unofficial wonder of the world,” Nathaniel said.

“Anyone else find it odd that a nature sanctuary is run by a family with Garden as their last name,” Kim asked.

“I think this is one of those ‘don’t think about it too much’ times,” Marinette shrugged.

“I haven’t been here in years,” Adrien was glad to be back.

“You’ve been here before,” Juleka asked.

“There was a charity fashion show here about a year before my mother disappeared,” Adrien explained. “I was here with my parents for it.”

“Did you meet any of the animals here,” Kim looked excited. “I heard that they let any animals here roam free even when they have events or tours here.”

“The animals do roam around the sanctuary as they wish,” Adrien says. “But the Garden family and all their employees work hard to tame all their animals privately to make sure that even the predators do not harm anyone. They spend months to years taming them before releasing them into the main part of the sanctuary.”

“It really sounds like an amazing place,” Marinette said.

“I can’t wait to draw some of the animals,” Nathaniel already had out his sketchpad. “Marc requested I draw him the most amazing animal that I see. No pressure. Haha.”

Juleka patted his shoulder, but her obviously hiding her laughter made her attempt to comfort him fail.

But, as usual, their good moods had to be ruined by the Italian that never seemed to go five minutes without hearing the sound of her own voice. And, also as usual, she was spouting her nonsense. They were very close to throwing her out the back of the bus if she did not stop talking.

“Of course I know the Garden family,” Lila brags, lying through her teeth. “They are basically family to me.”

“Here we go again,” the five friends groaned.

“The mother and her two daughters mostly handle the plants,” Lila continues. “The father and their son handle the animals. It’s only natural since they are the only ones that can stomach having to put down the more dangerous animals.”

“Tell us more, Lila,” Alya was recording the entire time.

Adrien growled. “There has never been a case of an animal being put down at the sanctuary. The closest that comes to that is when an animal gets sick and there is nothing they can do to help it.”

“They have to put it out of its misery, don’t they,” Marinette asked.

Adrien nodded. “The youngest two Gardens speak fluent French, so I was able to spend some time with kids my own age during the fashion show. They told me that while it breaks their hearts, it is better than letting the animal suffer.”

“I can see where they come from for that,” Juleka says. “They love, take care of, and train all the animals. So it’s only natural that they form a bond with them.”

“I know I am not the brightest person in class, but how can they believe such crap,” Kim shook his head. “Whenever anyone even slightly mentions someone famous, she instantly says she is either best friends with them or somehow related to them. It’s impossible.”

“Tell that to the sheep that follow her around like she’s god’s gift to the world,” Marinette rolled her eyes.

“Makes you wonder if we really are the only ones in class with braincells,” Nathaniel, of all people, said.

The bus doors opened as it came to a full stop at the sanctuary. Bustier was the first out and the class followed her. They all first went into the sanctuary. And even from what little they could see from where they were, it already was one of the most beautiful places any of them have ever seen.

Trees, flowers, and even fruit and vegetable plants were growing as far as their eyes could see. The entire sanctuary also seemed to be covered by a glass dome, making an environment similar to a greenhouse. It made sense since there were probably plants in certain areas that needed to be grown in certain temperatures.

But today the dome’s windows were open, letting in the natural light of the sun, even if it looked like squares on the ground because of the dome’s window linings.

As Bustier lead them to a stop, two teen their age approached the group. Adrien recognized his two penpals. The ones he met in Greece when he was there for the fashion show. Lyon and Vallia Garden.

Vallia was quite beautiful and had a grace and elegance to her style. She had long blond hair braided with roses and butterflies and had pink streaks. Her eyes were a stunning silver that you could see, if you were close enough, had specks of blue in them. Her style was a red, pink, and purple dawn colored dress with gold flats. On her wrists were diamond rose cuff bracelets, a butterfly on the one on her right wrist.

Lyon gave off a very icy exterior that also screamed honor and loyalty that only a knight would have. A tall boy with hair that was black with streaks of white and blue in it, coming to the length of Adrien's. His eyes were the opposite of the girl's, blue with silver specks. His outfit of choice was a sky blue t-shirt under a white jean vest, matching the blue pants with white boots. On his hands were white fingerless gloves. Around his neck was a sword and shield pendant as well as a white cloak only going down to his knees.

They all also saw that the two did have crystal medallions on their foreheads. Vallia’s was a rose quartz butterfly and Lyon’s was a sapphire wolf.

“Your pen pals are hot, Adrien,” Marinette smirked as she saw her honorary brother staring at Lyon.

“Shut up,” Adrien grumbled, making Marinette giggle.

Bustier turns to the class. “These two are going to be our guides through the sanctuary. Please show them the proper amount of respect since they are the ones that work here.”

Lyon and Vallia gave the teacher the side-eye. While they technically did work there, their family owned the sanctuary and it was like Bustier had completely forgot about that and thought that they were just employees of the sanctuary.

“Shouldn’t we be guided by adults,” Mylene asked, trying not to sound offensive to the two teens.

“We’re your tour guides because we are the only ones here fluent in French,” Lyon told the class, his French flawless.

Adrien hid that he was chuckling behind his hand. He knew the twins were fluent, but the looks on his classmate’s faces when Lyon spoke in French was just so funny.

“Before we begin, let us introduce ourselves,” Vallia said, also switching to French. “My name is Vallia and this is my twin brother, Lyon.”

“Please also take note of a few rules of the sanctuary,” Lyon says. “While the animals here have been tamed, do not touch or interact with them without permission. Certain movements or actions could cause them to badly react. They are all also on specific diets, so do not feed them unless we give you food to give them.”

“The plants should also all remain untouched,” Vallia added. “There are certain plants here that are not native to the area and survive here only because we created the right environments for them. Especially the ghost orchid. There are barely even 2000 ghost orchid plants left in the world and they need to remain here so that they do not go extinct.”

Most of the class nodded, understanding the rules. Lila hid how annoyed she was at not being able to take whatever beautiful plant she wants or touch any cute animal that she sees.

The tour than began, the class following the twins deeper into the sanctuary. Already they were starting to see a ton of the animals that lived there. There were some animals of Greek origins. Such as brown bears, red deer, lynxes, rock lizards, weasels, and wild boar. There were also more international animals. Like white-tailed deer from North America, jaguars from South America, pandas from China, African panthers and lions, Indian tigers, horses from Canada, even komodo dragons from Indonesia. And that was just the beginning.

“The Garden Family Sanctuary was founded almost a hundred years ago by siblings Apollo and Persephone Garden,” Lyon says. “Having been named after the god of the healing and the goddess of flowers, they had always loved helping nature and animals.”

“They started out with an animal shelter that took in any and all animals,” Vallia continued for her brother. “They had a very clear rule about being a no-kill shelter. The more popular they became, the more room they needed. And since they already came from a rich family, they bought more land. And over the years, it grew into the sanctuary you see today.”

“With the amount of animals and plants coming, there has been chat about buying land on another island to expand the sanctuary,” Lyon said. “Which means more area to protect from smugglers and poachers.”

“Your French is very good,” Marinette compliments them.

“Thank you, we’ve had years of practice,” Vallia says.

“It helped when we hosted a few French fashion designers here a few years ago for a charity fashion show,” Lyon said.

Adrien caught the smirk that Lyon sent his way. It made the blond blush.

The group continued walking through the sanctuary. A few of the animals curiously looked at the group, but chose not to get near them. There were a few did cuddle up to the twins, who happily petted them before sending them away with a treat in their mouth.

But even as the twins tried to talk about the sanctuary, Lila was still telling her lies as the classmates not under her spell surrounded her. They listened to her more than they did their actual tour guides.

“Yeah, poachers and smugglers try to get in all the time,” she was saying. “The first time I was here, I saw one and tried to tell the employees and they didn’t believe me. They certainly did after I single-handedly stopped him from taking a rare blue tiger.”

“That is so cool, Lila,” Rose unknowingly encouraged more lying.

“They should make you a partner here if you caught a poacher that they did not even know was there,” Alya said.

“They wanted to, but my mother said I was too young to be part of a business,” Lila says.

Adrien saw the twins look at each other as they hear what is being said. He knew that while the two were mostly quiet around those they do not know, other than when they gave tours, they would definitely not take liars sitting down. They were extremely protective of their family, which was why Lyon practiced archery while Vallia is an expert with the bo-staff.

“The Garden family would never offer someone outside of the family a part of the sanctuary,” Lyon stated, making the class look at him.

“We would appreciate you not tell such tall tales about such a charitable family,” Vallia crossed her arms. “They are well-respected by all of Greece and do not deserve to have such lies told about them.”

The class looked very insulted at the accusation of Lila being a liar, which happened whenever anyone said that. It happened more than you think since Bustier’s class was the only one in the entire school that actually believed her. Everyone else knew that Lila was nothing but a liar.

“Something tells me that things are about to get interesting,” Juleka whispered to the rest of their group.

“You’re the one that knows them, Adrien,” Marinette says. “What do you think they’ll do?”

“I’ve been in contact with them for years,” Adrien said. “And from all I know about them, it’s a slight miracle that Lyon hasn’t already threatened to shoot her with an arrow.”

“Does he do that often,” Nathaniel raised an eyebrow.

“Only to those that really anger him, really annoy him, or threaten his family,” Adrien said. “But that last part also includes the sanctuary and all of the animals kept here.”

“Guess we should be thankful that he doesn’t have them on him right now,” Kim says. “Even if he could get rid of our liar problem with a single shot.”

“Lyon was actually scouted by the coach of the Greek Olympian archery team,” Adrien tells them. “But Lyon doesn’t like competition. He says that they are nothing but barbaric events meant to to do nothing but enlarge egos and decrease braincells.”

“Can are class even lose what they don’t have,” Marinette smirked.

All of them laughed at her joke. When Marinette got sassy and sarcastic, it was hilarious. She could sass-talk like nobody’s business.

“Haw dare you,” Lila put a hand over her heart and then started up the crocodile tears again. “How could you be so mean to me?”

That was when her sheep glared at the twins.

“Lila is not a liar,” Alya was her main supporter as usual. “You’re nothing but simple employees. I bet you do not even know the Garden family. Lila, on the other hand, is basically an honorary member of their family.”

Both twins crossed their arms this time, staring down the class.

“Let us fully introduce ourselves,” Lyon narrowed his eyes at them. “My name is Lyon Garden and this is my twin sister, Vallia Garden. Our family owns this sanctuary and neither of us nor the rest of their family have ever met this girl.”

Adrien was seriously smirking at this point. He had seen this coming and was very glad that it had finally was. Especially since Lila did not even get the number of family members right. There were two Garden parents, but the children were another story. Lyon and Vallia were the youngest of the family, but Vallia was the only girl and they had two older brothers.

“You’re probably just lying to make Lila look bad because you’re jealous,” Alix glared at the twins. “She’s connected to the Gardens while you are not.”

“Don’t believe us, we don’t care, but we do have a friend in your class that knows who we are,” Vallia giggled. “Isn’t that right, Adrien?”

The sheep looked at the model. He only smirked as he joined Lyon and Vallia’s side.

“You two certainly know how to make an impression,” Adrien tells them, chuckling.

“If we really wanted to make an impression, I would have started at my favorite wolf den,” Lyon snickered. “But I would have been too tempted to order my wolves to eat them.”

Adrien laughed at the looks of horror on his classmates’ faces.

“If you guys haven’t figured it out, it was my family that the twins were talking about before,” Adrien says. “We were the ones that came here for the charity fashion show. It was great to meet the two youngest members of the Garden family.”

“So these are the sheep that follow that liar like lost puppies,” Vallia looked at Adrien. “The liar that doesn’t know how to take ‘no’ for an answer?”

“Got it in one, Vallia,” Adrien says. “And she’s been telling lies about your family since this field trip started. She even said that your family was three girls and two boys.”

The twins rolled their eyes.

“Wow,” Lyon shook his head. “Vallia might wish she had a sister, it’s just us and our two older brothers with our parents.”

Vallia playfully slapped her brother’s shoulder.

While Adrien took his two friends over to the rest of his group to introduce them, the rest of the class finally seemed to get that Lila did indeed lie to them. They turned on her like lions on an antelope and started yelling at her for lying to them.

The twins made mental notes to contact their parents about needing to sue a girl for slander and defamation.

my long ass review for S32E03 Now Museum, Now You Don’t

warning: LONG because i rambled about history more than i thought i would

id been looking forward to this one because i like art history, especially after seeing how they tried their best to stick to historical accuracy in the previous episode I, Carumbus. this time however….they didnt try that hard. i dont know why i thought theyd go through that sort of trouble again LMAO

but its okay, i dont really expect the simpsons to be the paragon of historical accuracy or anything. especially in anthology episodes told through a particular character's lens (in this case, lisa, whos already feverish so whatever)

first i just wanna say that this is, i guess, less of a review and more of an accidental list of history fun facts. so im just gonna get my general thoughts out of the way first.

the episode was fun! to me at least haha. i mean it got me to think and do a lot of research on my own so that must count for something. besides a couple of really weird ones, the jokes were good. anthology episodes tend to be….not that good but i thought this one was one of the better ones so far. idk.

anyway on to lisanardo da vinky its the renaissance! jesus christ the italian accents in the beginning of this segment were annoying as hell but i also feel like that was the joke lmao. ill be real i kind of tuned out for a second there when grampa started rambling so idk what he said.

i told myself i wouldnt get nitpicky with historical accuracy if the jokes were funny (final edit: so that was a lie) but this meh bit with the pizza guys and mascots was really not worth ignoring the fact that its impossible for italy to have any tomato-based food in the 15th century (tomatoes were brought to europe from the americas in the 16th century, and pizza as we know it today—flatbread, cheese, tomato—originated in the late 18th century)

oh this next part was kind of legit tho. lisanardo, like the real leonardo, became andrea del verrochio's apprentice at his workshop. i loved this next bit:

"Whoever paints the sweetest cherub will have the honor of having MY name signed on their work. That's what great artists do!"

SO YEAH as it turns out, lisanardo painted the sweetest cherubs. the painting here is called The Baptism of Christ, and the real leonardo assisted verrochio in finishing it. specifically, he painted the cherubs in the corner.

this causes verrochio to quit and go someplace with less talented people: a music school (yes, verrochio did quit painting after getting owned by young leo and his mad angel painting skills. he never did anything with music tho, he was more of a sculptor)

alongside lisanardo, in mr largo-verrochio's workshop we have barticelli (botticelli bart), dolphatello (donatello dolph), ralphael (raphael...ralph) and mediocrito (no one that i know of. sorry milhouse) (and kearney i guess but they dont refer to him by name). botticelli and donatello are said to have also been apprentices at verrochio's workshop, but raphael came a couple of decades later so he couldnt have been there. and donatello was too old so that claim is a bit questionable. but anyway

it IS true that leonardo's peers envied him, to the point where he was anonymously and purposefully accused of being gay (a major crime punishable by death in 15th century florence) while he was still working at verrochio's workshop

we are then treated by what im pretty sure is the fourth time the show has used 'at seventeen' by janis ian, this time sung by a dejected lisanardo (man they really do keep making yeardley sing these days huh) who only wishes to be appreciated and not envied.

"I'll show them all! I'll show them all in a secret diary that no one will decipher for 400 years!"

some of lisanardo's future inventions. who wouldve known

so after barticelli, for some reason (revenge??? or something?? what was his plan here idgi) steals lisanardo's diaries full of blueprints of her inventions and takes them to mr burns who i have to assume is pope alexander VI here, they decide to use her inventions for war.

"With these, we can kill the most evil people in the world!! ....Slightly different Christians."

leo actually did this of his own accord. im surprised this is what they decided to do with lisanardo instead of talking about leo's love of nature and vegetarianism (not a single mention of that in this episode? come on...) then again, trying to do good only to end up indirectly making things worse is a very standard lisa storyline. i guess they didnt want to miss the chance to have evil pope burns (very fitting, especially for that era since they were all about money and controlling the people)

so lisanardo decides to leave for france, unlike the real leonardo who was more or less persuaded by his ultimate fanboy king francis I to move to france.

"Lisanardo, I have many questions. Why are you hitting yourself? A nerd says 'what'? And how is it possible that I am rubber and you are glue? Et cetera, et cetera."

that line may seem a little random, like hes just nelson saying nelson things (and i mean, obviously he is) but the real francis also "had an unquenchable thirst for learning, and Leonardo was the world’s best source of experimental knowledge. He could teach the king about almost any subject there was to know, from how the eye works to why the moon shines." so yeah, he did have many questions and lisanardo, finally being appreciated for her intellect, was happy to answer them all. its very interesting how lisa assigned this role to nelson in her retelling of da vinci’s life :^)

and so she lived the rest of her days in france, nat king cole's 'mona lisa' plays because duh, and they make a da vinci code reference because duh. and the segment ends. and not a single time did they show the actual mona lisa painting. the fuck?

(ngl i was fully expecting bart to say 'leonardo da vinky' for a second here)

so this next segment is about french impressionist painters, most likely the batignolles group, a name adopted by the early representatives of impressionism. its much more vague than the lisanardo segment since no one here is referred to by name (except moe, more on him in a sec) but i dont feel like it really matters in this case. bart is prrrrooobably claude monet but its hard to say, this segment is kind of a mish-mash of a lot of things. also i gotta say i really liked how lisa introduced the story to bart with an 'if you hate the formal study of art' and not 'if you hate art' because thats exactly my headcanon. i LOVE the concept of artist bart and whenever its referenced it just makes perfect sense to me.

anyway the segment opens in 1863 at the école des beaux-arts (back then it was actually known as the académie des beaux-arts), preserver of traditional french art styles. skinner reviews his students’ paintings one by one. praises the plain, unimaginative paintings depicting your typical european countryside landscapes. very run-of-the-mill (haha get it...cuz theres….a windmill) (although the real académie didnt approve of such basic stuff, they wanted artists to draw epic historical and mythological scenes) then he gets to barts painting and he gives him an F- because the painting made him think.

(the paintings in this scene arent real famous paintings as far as i know but they are inspired by real paintings enough to get the point across)

in comes barney dressed as bacchus as a model for the students to sketch, which i just loved:

barney: “You prefer robe open or robe off?” skinner: “Just cover your privates with this walnut shell.” barney: “Whoa!!! So roomy!”

skinner gasps in horror at bart’s sketch, which “looks nothing like him” and bart explains that “it shouldn’t; we’re making the art that we feel because we can’t compete with a camera.” damn, you go bart. take that, realism. draw what you feel!!

(also no, you didnt need to hold still for 17 hours for a daguerreotype. 30 min tops.)

nelson haw-haw of the week: FOIE-gras!

so here they are at the moulin rouge (“enjoy it before baz luhrmann ruins it” hey shut up. i love that movie), which wouldnt be built for another 26 years, but it is the most widely known gathering place for bohemians in the public consciousness so i can understand why they went with the moulin. nelson delivers this anachronistic line:

“This époque keeps getting beller and beller!”

which alludes to la belle époque, the golden age of france usually dated from 1880 to 1914. made me snort so ill let that slide

and heres moe! as henri de toulouse-lautrec, who was actually born a year after the year this segment is set in. yo moe szyslak he was just 1

toulouse-moetrec introduces himself as the chronicler of the demimonde (not an actual job). an iconic figure associated with the moulin rouge (largely due to his affinity for alcohol and prostitutes), toulouse-lautrec was also a painter, having illustrated a series of posters for the moulin himself. he simply had to be in this segment, anachronisms be damned, just because they decided to include the moulin. cant have one without the other.

and yes he did have a walking cane where he kept his liquor.

i love how everyone drinks absinthe in this place. theyre bohemians what else would they drink

toulouse-moetrec points out that barts paintings are the greatest thing hes ever seen (and hes seen like five things!) and that hes a genius. milhouse realizes that they should stop doing what the teacher says and use their own minds to instead...start doing what bart says lmao. to the easels!

next we have skinner hyping up chalmers about the art his students made for the salon de paris, an art exhibition that the emperor of france will attend. he assures him that none of these paintings will encourage debate, provoke thought or be out of place at a dentist’s office. when they unveil the art, theyre both SHOCKED at how scandalous the paintings actually are.

this reaction was kind of accurate. impressionism was severely rejected at the salon de paris, due to paintings not looking finished enough to them, they thought they were ugly and vulgar for depicting nudity in a contemporary setting (historical and mythological nudity was fine). these impressionist paintings were sent to the salon de refusés, which is. yeah. the place where they sent the rejects. the salon de refusés does not make an appearance but this scene makes a reference to it when the artists get expelled from the royal salon. also:

“What about our student loans?” “Oh they’ll be refunded. We are not barbarians, I mean, come on.”

(god if only)

so the painters are down because they want the emperor to actually see their paintings. toulouse-moetrec pipes in once again with an idea.

“There is one thing the emperor loves more than anything.” “France?” “No, he hates France.”

apparently the emperor really loves cheese, which makes sense since its napoleon III (who loved cheese) and homer (who loves cheese.) so the painters roll into the salon inside a giant wheel of cheese (obviously.) as lenny said, “Eh, you know French cheese. Very runny.” napoleon III chases after the wheel into a room, where the wheel falls apart after getting chomped on by the emperor. now that they got his attention, the painters proudly show the emperor their impressionist art, which he couldnt be more indifferent about because he just wants to eat his cheese dammit, and he awards them with the royal medallion just to kind of get them out of his way. skinner immediately starts kissing ass (as he does) until marge’s like ‘hey wait a minute. you expelled these students from the royal salon’ and an executioner immediately starts ominously measuring skinners neck.

“Uh, sir...is your tongue sticking out because you’re dead or because you’re mad at me?”

and thats the end of that lmao (gore in this episode, gore in the last episode, and next week we’re getting gore too cuz its THOH, what the hell is goin on)

we get a short intermission with maggie, who wants a story for her too! lisa tells her that renaissance artists loved to put babies in their paintings, especially baby angels.

here she is showing her The Triumph Of Galatea by raphael:

King David Playing The Harp by peter paul reubens:

and a very simplified version of pretty much any depiction of hell by hyeronimus bosch lmao:

not much else to say about this one, really. but i really liked that sky!

the last segment is about frida kahlo and diego rivera. or as bart puts it ‘the one about a fat guy whos wife is too good for him.’ i was REALLY looking forward to this one because i love frida and i thought itd be a cool opportunity for animators to go bonkers and do really cool shit with her art as inspiration…..but the segment is not about frida, its about diego and his selling out to capitalism. and its also yet another story with homer and marge drama. no funky cool animation here. sigh i guess i’ll take it

the story begins in 1929 at la casa azul, frida’s home (now museum dedicated to her life and work.) frida and diego are getting married. this courtyard definitely did not look this way yet back in 1929. also theres something very cringy yet funny about lovejoy saying spanish words the way he does, i honestly cant decide how i feel about that one

the writers know theyre being cringy with their gringoness so they go along with it.

moe: “Spanish for ‘best wishes’!” mel: “Spanish for ‘congratulations’!” bumblebee man: “Spanish for ‘muy bueno’!”

OH YEAH BUMBLEBEE MAN this is his new voice actor, eric lopez! hes not mexican but its still great to finally have a latino actor voicing a latino character and hes very excited to be part of the show so i hope to hear more of him!! im rooting for him

el barto/zorro makes an appearance which i am very confused about. he has jack shit to do with frida and diego and mexico in the 20s-30s. el zorro was set in the spanish california of the early 19th century. their use of the original theme song makes me think they just wanted to flex their disney privileges tbh

lets not talk about that that whole scene was bad

anyway diego announces he and frida are going to new york, without even asking her first. frida is obviously pissed.

“Don’t worry, as a woman, you’ll be treated with much more respect in America.”

so in new york, diego is having a bit of a business meeting with mr burns as one of the members of the rockefellers, who is commissioning him to draw a mural for the rockefeller center. its kinda funny how he refers to him and frida as socialists even though they were very much communists lmao its okay you can say it. ok so far, but then frida says ‘yes, we hate the capitalists! right now, a young socialist is being born who will take them down! mr. bernie sanders. i hope hes quick about it’ and that was a simple enough joke and couldve been left at that but then its immediately followed by this weird as fuck family guy-esque cutaway gag to bernie as a baby:

“Getting a cootie shot should not cost your lunch money. And if you don’t listen to me, listen to the Bernie Babies! What? Everybody’s got goons.” *larger babies start beating up this other baby* “I disavow that, and welcome it.”

this confused me so much that i had to ask one of my american friends to help me understand, but even she was like ‘uhhh yeah thats a weird joke,’ especially now that hes been out of the race for months (then again these episodes take almost a year to produce. i guess they couldnt be bothered to replace it with something more relevant.) whatever that was weird and confusing and unfunny moving on

frida is pretty irked that diego is going through with this deal. after all, it goes against everything they believe in. im not sure how the real frida felt about diego doing the mural, but she did feel a bit of rage during her visit to the united states, especially the obvious disparity between rich and poor. she hated having to interact with capitalists and found americans very boring. in this segment, frida seems to be acting more like the american communist party, which diego got kicked out of for accepting commissions from wealthy patrons. in any case, frida is pretty upset about this whole thing.

and finally we get the first and only kind of surreal frida moment. kinda. maybe. its more cartoonish than anything but im desperate ok

interesting how they felt like they had to add a “don’t smoke” in big letters after showing patty and selma flying away on their giant cigarettes. i wonder if this is something theyre making them do now? i remember hearing something about them toning down patty and selma’s smoking

diego comes home to frida, drunk as hell, followed by the marx brothers. i cant believe they didnt make a marxism joke come on it was RIGHT THERE. THE MARX BROTHERS. KARL MARX. COME ON

frida paints her feelings.

this makes diego realize that frida is a genius and he is not half the artist she is. he proclaims he will now show his awe of her by sleeping with other women, starting “an hour ago.” to which frida replies, “and i will start sleeping with other women, starting two hours ago.” yes this was pretty much their relationship. though im just wondering how the hell did diego not know frida was this kind of artist until now? i know homers an idiot but jeez. art was how frida and diego met, diego knew from the get-go that frida was an incredible artist. i guess the fame got to his head or something. again, homer just being stupid.

“well enough already, while the art is still deco, okay?”

its time for the mural diego painted, Man At The Crossroads, to be unveiled:

rockefeller examines it. good and great so far, and then...uh oh

“Who’s that fellow…? With the beard, and the bolshevik smile…” “That’s the founder of Soviet Russia, Lenin!”

“B-b-but he’s a communist!” “Oh he just attended a couple of meetings.”

rockefeller will not have this communist in the temple to capitalism that is the rockefeller center, so he orders diego to paint over it. diego stands his ground and refuses. despite rockefeller’s threats, diego says that theres only one person he wants to be proud of him no matter what and in true homer & marge fashion, frida is touched by this. they happily leave the rockefeller center.

now, the real story of Man At The Crossroads and the rockefeller center was actually not that different. as soon as the rockefellers found out diego had snuck in a portrait of lenin into the mural, they ordered him to paint over it, to which he refused. diego even offered to include abraham lincoln and even american abolitionists in the mural as a compromise, but the rockefellers simply did not want any references to communism whatsoever. they did not complain about the hammer and sickle, though. yes, they did know diego was a communist and hired him anyway. what did they expect? lmao. diego said:

"Rather than mutilate the conception [of the mural], I shall prefer the physical destruction of the conception in its entirety, but preserving, at least, its integrity."

so they decided to destroy the mural before it was even finished and they never talked to each other again.

diego then repainted the mural at the palacio de bellas artes back in mexico, this time known as Man, Controller of the Universe. this new version included even more communist leaders and a depiction of john d. rockefeller jr. drinking at a nightclub, right underneath a depiction of syphilis bacteria. cue nelson haw-haw:

this was the version they used in the episode also, since the original was, well, never finished and also destroyed. only a black and white photograph of it exists, taken by diego before it was destroyed so he could remake it.

right so, homer!diego then pulls a Barthood and finishes the episode with a large mural summarizing the entire episode. he says some rick and morty thing i didnt get because i dont watch the show idk idc

the end

ALRIGHT NOW ITS TIME FOR THE STORY OF VINCENT VAN MOE

#if you read all of this bless you #the imageless gdocs version of this is 8 pages long #hope you...enjoy?!?! these art history fun facts?!?!#dont let me do something like this again but also let me know if i should do something like this again #i was really only motivated to do this because im already passionate about the subject so idk if i could do it otherwise #anyway. this took me all day yesterday because the power kept going out #but im finally done #bye

hiii congrats on 200 !! 💞💞 could I please join your event? My top 5 are oikawa, suna, sakusa, akaashi, and kenma. My pronouns are she/her. I am 5’4, an ambivert and a Latina. My enneagram is type 4. I have pale skin, mid-length brown wavy hair with bangs, and hazel eyes. I am described as someone who comes off as cold or aloof when I’m around people I don’t know. After getting to know me, I am the complete opposite. I’m just a bit shy at first lol. I like to make people laugh and try to make the best of any situation. However I have a hard time expressing my emotions. I’m also described as easy going and fun to be around. I am a hip hop dancer and love to perform. Dance to me is very freeing and I'm usually dancing anywhere anytime haha. I choreograph a lot as well. I also enjoy reading could vary from manga to non-fiction. I love music especially hip hop, rap, & reggaeton. I also love to write music/poetry. I never show anybody though since I’m really shy about it. I'd love to one day tho! I can be playful and love to tease my friends. I also really like to eat and travel. I really enjoy having deep conversations. I speak English and Spanish (learning Japanese & Portuguese). I would love to learn ASL and Hawaiian one day as well. I don’t really have any fears, just not being able to accomplish my goals/dreams. I tend to daydream a lot and I’m also a big procrastinator 😭. I'm usually overthinking a lot which tires me a bit. Alone time for me is definitely important. I would say my love languages are words of affirmation and physical touch. I tend to be a bit jealous/possessive, not in an unhealthy way though. I'm also a bit touch starved lol. tysm and congrats again 💕💞

tysm bb !! omg you sound super similar to me wtf that's so funny, you're learning portuguese ?? man i really want to but i can't figure out how to PRONOUNCE anything i just read it all as if it were spanish :,) also the procrastination omg, i've been meaning to learn italian for like the past two summers and ended up not because i sleep too much to do anything,,, anyway,,,

i think you'd go so well with oikawa ! you both seem to be super passionate about what you do and you'd push each other to take pride in things that you're shy about, just overall bringing out the best in each other :)

you can't just say that and then not let me see, he'd whined in response to you casually mentioning the volumes of poetry he'd been the muse for. so now you don't know why you said it... it just felt right in the moment, maybe? too late, though, he's scrolling intently through the notes app on your phone in the middle of dinner in a restaurant, like, in public, and you really want to excuse yourself to go hide in the bathroom or something. he'd know, though, so all you can do is sit and hide your face in your hands and hope he doesn't look up at you.

of course he does, though, god, he's such a pain sometimes, and you pray he can't see how hot your face feels, but he just smiles and hands your phone back to you. hang on, he tells you quietly: he's got something to show you. you're confused when he picks up his own phone, appearing to be looking for something, but a minute later you receive an email from him that's blank except for a file attached. it's a love letter. i was too scared to give it to you, he says, but, you know.

deux-cent: l’évènement [OPEN]

aesthetic & headcanon — art muses

summary: she loves art, but not in the ‘haha funny i love art and i’m so artistic and creative look at me sense’. the aesthetic highlights her top three current favorites — agnes martin, giovanni boldini and egon schiele. all for various reasons, but she uses them as muse in terms of things musically and visually when she does get time to sit around and paint. she doesn’t get excited about much, but you bring up artists to her and take her to a museum that houses these artists — done and set, she loves you already. (headcanon on elaboration on what she loves about the artists / more artists that she admires). warnings: none wc: 906

as i’ve said it before — minjung is not one of those “haha i love art, i’m so pretentious look at me i’m so creative and artistic” type muses. yes, she does love art but it’s more of a familiar feeling the art brings her and she actually has a real appreciate for the fine details / lines, and keeps track of her favorite pieces — aka, she has it written down when certain cities have specific exhibitions that she wants to go to. (kinda big brain, but you know — minjung has the biggest brain out of my three muses).

she buys art pieces with the money she makes — yes it’s a shit load of money, so she has very few real pieces.but she spends because 1) they’re investments / not taxed in korea 2) the pieces mean more to her than any other superficial items she’d buy otherwise.

agnes martin — the american abstract artist.

minjung really loves agnes martin because of how well and tasteful the minimalism is inside her subtle changes in the works. there’s geometric patterns such as grid work that becomes a commonality throughout all her pieces —but the part that gets minjung the most? is that each line and brush stroke is hand drawn. she doesn’t think she’ll ever be that steady, but she can only hope.

the geometric pencil lines are her favorite!! there’s a softness to pencil / graphite, and the way it often smudges across the palms of hands. yet, there is none of that to the point where it is eerie perfection inside agnes martin’s work.

the last thing she gets inspo from is the coloration — a lot of the colors are often muted, pastels. imperfections that almost mimic watercolor. however, minjung knows watercolor is a hard medium because of how unpredictable / uncontrollable it is. agnes martin is a genius for keeping the small imperfections and keeping it perfected and crisp.

giovanni boldini — the italian portrait painter

to be fair, she doesn’t actually like boldini’s actual pieces always on display. she’s a fan of his sketches, and how it inspires her own sketches. his actual works are too finessed to her liking, and often takes the ‘oohs and aahs’ from the crowd. what she fell in love with was his sketches

a portrait painter, there was always a detail when it came to facial definition. even in his sketches, he would do very impeccable work by grabbing all the details and honing in on them, only to leave the outlines of the body in lines — this juxtaposes the differences between the face versus the body, and she likes that disparity.

often his works take in a lot of neutral colors with pops of pink whereas his sketches are primarily in black and white with pops of watercolor — maybe, seo minjung is just a sucker for the mixture of graphite and watercolor but it just amazes her how so much detail can be done in showing expressions and cheekiness through the face while leaving the body almost subjected to the background.

because of boldini, she often experiments with this graphite / watercolor mix.

egon schiele — austrian figurative painter

he’s probably one of her favorites if not most. yes, gustov klint is all fun and games but she thinks egon takes the cake as his protege one upping him all the time.

his line work is out of this world (i hate this saying, but literally she does not take any inspiration other than his lines). the lines he uses she hopes to inspire the lines inside the sketchbook she has.

the one line drawings in the present, she takes that all as an ode to egon schiele and wonders why people don’t appreciate his linework more. i think she started doing a lot of one line work (for fun, and for friends who just want a special drawing on their walls) but always

she also enjoys the subtle pops of color — aka the often times oranges and red, the warm vibrant colors he adds into his figures.

the faces arent often realistic, nor are they ‘aesthetically pleasing’ to look at but the beauty of mangled faces and people drawn gholish — that’s her ish. his sensual nature of his work also inspires minjung a lot when she’s inspired by him.

jenny saville — the english flesh painter

she LOVES jenny savile!! this is mainly because of saville’s works on the human body and capturing each curve and roll to maintain realism

the coloration of human flesh is done so perfectly in minjung’s opinion.

along with that saville explores more gory aspects? blood, human face — captures the bruised and swollen details with the perfect colorations and overlap of brush strokes. it’s this perfect harmony portrayed inside the paintings that makes minjung fall in love with saville each time she sees a new piece

yes, some times the bodies are overdrawn and over-exaggerated to look grotesque? but it’s that morbidity in the realism that she appreciates so very much about saville

i’m gonna shut up now because this sounds really ridiculous to go on about why minjung loves certain artists. however — i will mention there are a few honorable mentions she’s not particularly inspired by but does see the beauty in how they’re publicized on mass platforms.

honorable mentions: warhol, basquiat, rothko, picasso, piet mondrian, and yayoi kusama.

Perfect- Chapter 8

masterlist | ch. 7 | ch. 9

Word Count: 1,166 words

POV: Jordan and Reid are paired together. But how was Jordan able to figure everything out so quickly?

(This chapter is back in Jordans perspective)

“Morgan, Emily, you two go to the most recent crime scene and see what you can find out. JJ, I want you to go to the local police department and gather as much information as you can and coordinate with Garcia. Reid, (y/n), you two go to the first and second crime scenes and see if you can find any patterns. Rossi and I will go speak with the latest victims' parents and get them into custody in case they are in danger. We’ll bring their parents back to the station and coordinate with JJ,” Hotch orders.

“Okay, Hotch” Emily, Morgan, and JJ quickly say.

“Uh- um okay sir,” Reid says shakily and confused. Why would he pair US together? Of all people, it had to be him. Seriously? Today is just going downhill for me.

“Hey, partner! I’m glad to be paired up with a fellow genius for this case.” I said to Reid attempting to mask my hatred for this man. He almost unveiled all my secrets. Ugh this is gonna be torture.

“Haha, yea I can’t wait to work with someone that matches my IQ. It'll be interesting.”Reid responds, seeming just as unenthusiastic as I am inside. “We should get to the car now and head out,” he informed me. Reid and I get in the SUV and wait 5 minutes until Hotch exits the building and gets in his car.

“So, Reid do you know any cool facts about where we’re going?” I attempt to spark some small talk.

“Nope.” Reid responds clearly uninterested.

“None at all? That’s not like you.” I say knowing he’s lying through his teeth.

“Well, now it is.” He said which makes me think the hatred is equal. At least we have that in common.

“Is something wrong, did I do something to upset you?” I persistently ask, trying to figure out why he’s lying to me.

“Nope. I just wanna get this case over with.” This car ride feels longer than it really is.

“Just tell me what’s wrong! Did I do something wrong? OH, I know. It’s because I talked to Hotch first, right?” I ask although I know the real reason.

“You don’t even know half of it (y/n), you wouldn’t understand.” Oh no Reid YOU don’t even know the half of it.

“Look, Reid, I’m sorry I didn’t mean-”

“Just don’t bother okay? It’s pointless.” He rudely cuts me off.

“No, I have to say this. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble within the team. I stole something when I was a kid, and I should’ve told all of you right away. I don’t blame you for wanting to look into me. I see how close you guys are. I would do the same thing in your shoes. I’m not mad at you at all, I just wanna put this all behind us.” I said in my best fake apology voice. He thinks he knows the truth about me but he only knows a fraction of it. I think he bought it though. Hopefully.

“Oh, look we’re here.” He quickly changes the conversation.

“So it seems that our victim was an avid reader, judging by the number of books they’ve acquired over the years.” I pointed out to him.

“Hmmm. There are a lot of books, but when you open them they still have that new book smell and the pages are far from ever being used,” He informed her.

“So why did they have so many books? That doesn’t make sense.”

“Some people say that having an overstuffed library is a badge of honor. People that do this are called tsundoku. There is a known legendary library of Italian writer Umberto Eco, which contained a jaw-dropping 30,000 volumes. Did Eco read all those books? Of course not, but that wasn't the point of surrounding himself with so much potential but as-yet-unrealized knowledge. By providing a constant reminder of all the things he didn't know, Eco's library kept him intellectually hungry and perpetually curious.” Now that's the Reid I know and love! Wait. No. I didn’t mean that. I mean. Ugh let's just forget it.

“Forget I asked, wow.”

“No, that could mean something. It also shows that our victim was self-aware of their ignorance which puts them above lots of people in the world.”

“Okay and?” I ask pretending to not understand.

“My point is that this could be a pattern our unsub might be targeting consciously ignorant people. But how are they connected?” He starts to spiral and think out loud while staring at the impressive book collection.

“Uh, maybe this book club membership has something to do with it?” I said. Hopefully he didn’t see me plant the card here earlier.

“Call Garcia and let her know what you found, ask her to search if our other unsub had the same membership. I’m gonna keep looking around for more evidence,” he barked orders out.

“You got it, boss.” I pulled out my phone and texted my boss I was able to plant the evidence he had given me. Then I called Garcia, still pretending to be on the BAU’s side.

“Hey, Garcia! I’m putting you on speakerphone ’cause Reid and I found something.” Which is a blatant lie.

“Speak and you shall be heard!” Garcia says in her usual bubbly manner. She makes me wish I was really on her side. She’s so sweet… wait no she found out my identity to begin with. I hate her. I think.

“We found a book club membership with our victims' names on it. Could you cross-reference our other victims’ names with ‘Barnes and Noble Book Club Membership’ for us?”

“On it J-, sorry, I mean (y/n). I was just on the phone with JJ, so I was about to say her name.” She almost said my name… it’s been so long I forgot who I actually was. She doesn’t know that I overheard her did she?

“No worries! Just let me know if you find-” I start and then get cut off by Garcia,

“Bingo! All of our victims had a membership to the same book club. Huh, it turns out they all sent each other books, too, with a weird message on each delivery.”

“Garcia, could you send me a list of every book and message the victims were sending to each other?” Reid asked.

“Consider it done boy genius!”

“Thank you, Garcia,” I said before hanging up the phone. After I hung up I made sure to tell my boss everything that happened.

“(Y/n), let’s grab all of the books on Garcia's list and take them with us.”

“Okay, I’ll grab the laptop as well to see what else we can find.” We were gathering all of the books and putting them into a box and I couldn’t help but think about what I thought earlier. Loving Reid? I mean who wouldn’t love him? He's so smart, cute, and sometimes funny. NO, no Jordan he’s your enemy stop this.

Janis & Jimmy

Janis: [Okay, so I think you should go to Libi's room and help her get ready for nursey/fake get ready for school so then no one has any need to burst into the spare room and your idea is he can keep sleeping, whether you will be woken up by everyone else going about their day is up to you] Jimmy: [that's cute Libi will be buzzing and that boy does need to keep sleeping so I will let you] Janis: [she will, we gotta keep her away and distracted, fingers crossed mcvickers are also working and busy today, at least enough that we can get out later if we need to] Jimmy: [there's every chance you'll still get woken up by Cass blowing your phone up because obvs she'd be worried about you but at least that wouldn't be as early as Libi would rock up] Janis: [that makes sense, that will probably be before Janis comes back in the room, like when Cass and Bobby are up and getting ready to go to school 'cos we're likewise faking it] Jimmy: [yeah that's what I figured so I shall hit you up] Jimmy: You going to school?

New York? Tokyo?’] Jimmy: ['Amsterdam, obvs' because you literally get offered hard drugs when you're just walking about that's a true story and he is genuinely worried about her having to do this even though we know Drew is basically harmless at this point he doesn't] Janis: [‘druggie’ but we’re being playful not actually shady, dramatically rolling our eyes and tutting, that said about Drew if he’s not with his missus or another woman yet he might tell your mum but we can use that if we wanna] Jimmy: [yeah I think he will have just got out of prison if I have my timeline correct so it's likely he's not with her yet and that's worth noting, but Jimothy is just playfully nudging the bae with his good side] Janis: [probably thirsty for some Alison attention then tbf, but for now we’re rolling up last nights sleeping bag like we’re packing for Amsterdam] Jimmy: [eat your breakfast boy and give her a begrudging nod because the bagel is actually nice] Janis: [‘I didn’t get it from CG’ like that’s why it’s nice lol] Jimmy: ['wouldn't have you back yet if you had done' do he mean that it's always busy and he's not there working doing the most or do he mean because Pete might be working or both haha] Janis: [‘called that about him’ and we 😉] Jimmy: ['he'll be chuffed to bits that you get him'] Janis: [‘I’ll be chuffed when I do’ and putting the sleeping bag away and sitting back down with him] Jimmy: [putting his head on her shoulder like we're so forlorn and pouty about this] Janis: [‘should’ve never of introduced us’ like he did not lol, we tugging at his pouty lip with our fingers to switch it up] Jimmy: ['I never' when he can still get the words out before she's got his lip lol but then we're just giving her a LOOK because that's distracting excuse you gal] Janis: [a LOOK back that’s like yeah I regret it also because it was distracting and now we’re like] Jimmy: [running his thumb across her bottom lip because we always do that and also like well I've got this good hand here we can make use of] Janis: [ACTUALLY pouting because we can’t do anything to him ‘you’ll get out of breath’ brag but true] Jimmy: [😏 because we love the brag 'I'll live' like it already hurts anyway so what does he care is very much the attitude here now since we can't pretend we're fine this time because she knows] Janis: [‘yeah and I wanna kill you’ like that’s the problem ‘we could just-‘ and kissing him with our hands dramatically up like remember the rules] Jimmy: ['it's still gonna hurt' said as we kiss her really intensely anyway so she knows we think it's worth it] Janis: [making a noise in protest but it just sounds hot ‘cos we cannot protest enough for it to be meaningful rn with how much we wanna] Jimmy: [and we all know whenever she makes any kind of noise she gets one back so that really won't help the protest soz] Janis: [we are going in as much as remotely capable rn] Jimmy: [hard same so I hope you took those painkillers jimothy] Janis: [you’re young and hardy and in love so even though you are injured you’ll be okay I think] Jimmy: [the feels will get you through it] Janis: [you can’t help yourselves we can’t help that] Jimmy: [you've gotta do what you've gotta do lads and I respect that] Janis: [we’ll make you do an ice bath or something else to help you later it’s okay we’re looking after you as well as, just looking at him with so much love] Jimmy: [snuggling as best we can because 1. we don't want her to go back out 2. the love 3. we know she didn't get hardly any sleep and we want her to] Janis: [‘we should go to yours before we get comfortable’ but we’re not moving yet] Jimmy: [a noise like mhmmm yes we should but we're not moving either and we're just doodling on her with our fingertip like shh go to sleep] Janis: [kinda chasing his finger with ours around and then doing a little thumb war moment] Jimmy: [that's so cute and you're 1000% getting that look of love returned] Janis: [big yawn ‘you need a double bed’] Jimmy: [playing with her hair because she's adorable and we're redoubling our efforts to get her to fall asleep 'I'll @ Ian in a bit, he'll be chuffed to sort it for us' we all know he is on his best behaviour for at least a while after this kind of thing has happened so we're not even joking really] Janis: [‘braid it if you like’ amused because we know it’s a mess, moreso when we start furiously shaking our head like no no don’t mention him ‘we’ll steal this one’ which is an amusing mental image, mcvickers like excuse me lol] Jimmy: [he is braiding it even though she was taking the piss because he's got a sister and shit parents so he obviously can and will be making a rose out of paper or something for that throwback when he's done 'if you carry it' because remember when he had to carry that desk, there's no chance haha] Janis: [when that’s shaken you to your core because it’s so soft and intimate and you can’t, just nodding like yes I will do that] Jimmy: [just having that soft moment] Janis: [‘you’re...’ and just shaking our head ‘I wish I could explain you’ and poking him in the cheek like how dare you] Jimmy: [presenting her with this 🌹 you've crafted before you stick it in her hair like look how much of a Pinterest mum art hoe I am, I get why you're speechless because #goals '@ Bill he'll give you a hand, might do with the bed an' all' playfully push her down like poltergeist energy which is accidentally saucy af] Janis: [when it’s genuinely impressive but you’ve got to take the piss because it’s too much all ‘round ‘been going to see Asia’s ma, yeah?’ A look like such a hun babe but we’re literally shhed by this sauciness full 😳 because we can’t even fight back or anything to diffuse the tension] Jimmy: [poke her in her 😳 cheek because gotta take the piss too for the same reason] Janis: [‘dickhead’ and going to get up like right we must go now] Jimmy: [stopping her from going but in a soft way not like !!!!!! because he doesn't want to go home yet even though it makes more logical sense] Janis: [‘you can’t go out the window’ like if they come back we won’t be able to sneak you out ‘that said-‘ because we understand not wanting to go back even though Ian is not there ‘-if they come back, we could be quiet til they go again’ because they have no reason to go in the spare room] Jimmy: [an anxious lip bite that he can't stop himself from doing because they are hiding here and it's nice but when they go back it'll feel real again and he'll be watching the clock for when Bobby's back because that's a whole thing of not wanting him to know that he's hurt but knowing that there's shit he won't be able to do in terms of big brother duties even before you get into the Ian-ness of it all but she's not wrong that it makes sense for them to go for that reason and because Twix but DUH that's all too real and emosh to express when you can just instead take the piss about not being able to be quiet so we're obvs doing that instead] Janis: [immediately going to squeeze his hand when the lip bite and then retracting like oh too serious but we’re kinda stuck like well what do we do though] Jimmy: [the audacity of this boy then being like okay come on let's go as if he didn't just stop her in her tracks] Janis: [tryna roll with it regardless because it’s not our struggle so we’ll go either way] Jimmy: [hold hands as you strut on over the road lads, we all know he's gonna smoke even though he isn't supposed to, tut tut] Janis: [not asking for/taking one ourselves to show our disapproval] Jimmy: [a look like ? because in no world has he not noticed this] Janis: [a look like don’t be daft] Jimmy: [passing her the 🚬 like are you gonna take this or what] Janis: [‘you’re alright’] Jimmy: [looking at her again like why are you being weird but not saying anything] Janis: [looks at him like why are YOU smoking dickhead but likewise we’re not saying stop or anything] Jimmy: [thank god it's a short walk so shit can't get too tense] Janis: [not trying to start an argument about it] Jimmy: [get in the house please and see what carnage you're gonna be greeted with because Jimothy has not been there to tidy up and Twix will be feral] Janis: [oh twix gal, just waving him up the stairs like you go, I’ve got this] Jimmy: [trying to get her to come with you like leave it even though you know she won't] Janis: [obviously not, but we will come up to tell him we’re gonna take her for a quick walk] Jimmy: [lowkey fuming because he can't do anything like he doesn't even ever want to take Twix for a walk but it's not the point so he's just 😒 because it's obvs not her fault and we don't wanna be a dick] Janis: Won’t have time to miss me Jimmy: What else have you got planned for me to do? Janis: Well she’s going for a piss Janis: Have a race Jimmy: 👍 Janis: Hmm, could be a bit more enthusiastic Jimmy: might do when you have a more 🥇💡 Janis: I’ll get to 💭 Jimmy: ⏲ Janis: You ain’t going anywhere, boy Jimmy: it's you who reckons you won't be long out Janis: Okay admit you miss me already Jimmy: or what?

Oh, he tried to fuck my oldest sister, that's about the latest incestual connection we tried to make happen'] Jimmy: [let's take a moment to appreciate the genuine shock, confusion and wtfness of his expression even if Janis can't see it because her eyes are closed] Janis: [lol soz to just unload that on you boy but we're in a preemptive mood about all those people coming at us potentially, literally sounds like it doesn't make sense 'he fucked my ma and her partner, they both had kids with him, the white ones, he lived with my dad growing up, who they also fucked but just my ma got knocked up by him'] Jimmy: ['is he gonna tell your mum?' cos lbr that's what is important here, not the messiness of Ali and Carly which you can think about on your own time if you want boy] Janis: ['might do' 'cos we really don't know 'obviously not in the good books since the whole trying to get off with an 18 year old thing, he might reckon it'll work, he's clearly pretty thick'] Jimmy: [a look like fuck's sake and you still thought it was a good idea to go meet and get drugs off him] Janis: [a look like duh] Jimmy: [just shaking his head because we're not trusting ourselves to say anything rn with how fuming we are/how much we already have to worry and feel guilty about] Janis: ['it's not like he's gonna bother again, not really his type anyway' and a little tap like come on] Jimmy: [the most unamused sound ever] Janis: [just like pfftt in response 'I know I was safe'] Jimmy: [a sigh in response 'and you know I don't want owt if it might fuck you over, that's been part of the plan since there were one'] Janis: ['I don't care, I can handle them so you can have some painkillers' shrugging like I was just saying, not saying I shouldn't have] Jimmy: [about to say that he cares because duh but doesn't because it's extra and she's being really casual] Janis: [sitting up dramatically like fuck this 'I am going to work though' like we just realized how much this all is and we gotta bounce] Jimmy: [going against not wanting to be extra immediately by stopping her from going in a more !! way than we did last time because we don't ever want her to go but especially not like this] Janis: ['don't' like we can't keep doing this 'you've got all you need'] Jimmy: [the actual 💔 on his face though because OUCH] Janis: [oh gal, when you immediately wanna take it back and you literally like go back towards him to say something but you don't 'cos you think that's not fair, so we're biting our lip and blurting out 'see you later' as we run] Jimmy: [oh lads, the drama] Janis: [ugh, idk how you're gonna come back from this hun, we're gonna have to give it some time for sure] Jimmy: [these dogs just going on the longest walk they ever have lol] Janis: [when you've burnt all your bridges everywhere if Drew blabs tehe, just gotta weigh up all your options here] Jimmy: [are we gonna say he does or no?] Janis: [I think it makes sense to do it to ramp it all up] Jimmy: [agreed and we know Drew would] Janis: [he's got form, and then you lowkey have an excuse to hit him up later/stay/so then Ian can't do shit again either] Jimmy: [it's coming together honey] Janis: [we could also do some sibling moment when this does come out if you wanna] Jimmy: [I'm always down for that] Janis: ['cos we can always do Grace but also Billie probably is not gonna be happy gal] Jimmy: [the Drew of it all will upset her for sure] Janis: [we're all triggered] Jimmy: [Tess gonna be livid thinking she's not realised someone else in this fam has a drug habit] Janis: [lol @ the habit it looks like you have, straight up pain pills] Jimmy: [you really have triggered your mother into thinking about Carly's accidental OD] Janis: [lordy the argument we're gonna have to have, hooray] Jimmy: [derailing ourselves here but I do love the drama that will blatantly ensue] Janis: [soz for the level you don't need this and we are fully aware of that fact which makes it worse but] Jimmy: [I just hope Rio don't try and weigh in on this in a big sister way cos gal no] Janis: [you know she will but luckily we can only reference this lol] Jimmy: [we could literally have Tess ban her from the house and Libi off the back of this if we want, like that's enough considering this fam's history] Janis: [it is, I can restart this convo with all this in mind like this evening, assumedly late like when everyone's gone to bed] Jimmy: [go for it boo] Janis: you still not want me to run away?

lowkey] Jimmy: [the bruises will be !!! by now so we'll all be shook] Janis: [at least it means you healing but gonna kiss every one of those] Jimmy: [what a mood, I hope you do get a bit more sleep as well kiddos because we know that's always needed] Janis: [you truly can sleep all day, set an alarm lads] Jimmy: [only got dogs to walk and pizza ingredients to sort out] Janis: [awh a lil grocey trip, that's a mood, get all your stuffs] Jimmy: [omg yes because that's a nice throwback to when you got snowed in and you made the bubs breakfast and had to go get ingredients, love how coupley and domestic y'all are effortlessly, the gals will be losing it all the updates] Janis: [it's so foreign to how you generally are as people and that's what makes it amazing] Jimmy: [we love it for you] Janis: [we should get Cass a takeaway style one you know when you can buy 'em hot from sainsbos or whatever, in case she thinks this is lame so we don't lose points lol] Jimmy: [that's a good save boo because even if she wanted to decorate pizzas you know she won't because moody tween] Janis: [mhmm, I know your age hen and you're angry enough without us forcing frivolity on you] Jimmy: [it's annoying enough that JJ are living their best life in your gaff, we get it] Janis: [it's been a while since you moved, you can meet your friends soon and feel a bit better] Jimmy: [getting that vday card soon hun, hang in there] Janis: [meanwhile we're truly having the best time even though we gotta do a lot of resting like it can't even bring us down] Jimmy: [he should definitely steal something for her because it's been ages since that happened] Janis: [ooh, what could you steal] Jimmy: [probably needs to be something little because we're not trying to set off alarms here hmmm] Jimmy: [Winnie says it should be a keyring so when they get back he can put one of the spare keys on it for her, though I dread to think what the actual keyring will look like cos supermarkets only cater for kids and huns] Janis: [Good idea Winnie, the funnier the better with the aesthetic clearly] Jimmy: [it'll make you laugh and then be feelsy when he puts the 🔑 on so we've covered some bases there, I'm devastated that Jimothy is hurt so he can't try and squeeze himself into the child trolley seat because you know he would, another time sir] Janis: [very good idea, my boo says devastated honey, also can't race around on the back of trolleys but there's literally all the time, you should lowkey have a competition to see who can find the most embarrassing item for the other to have to take to the till] Jimmy: [there will be other supermarket shops, hang in there lads, you've still got #bants] Janis: [I'd say get weird pizza toppings for each other but also want you to have a decent dinner so don't actually buy 'em thank you] Jimmy: [we love taking the piss but we won't actually commit to making you eat it, likewise try and find the creepiest toys as a nice throwback to China's birthday party present list and the best hun outfits and accessories] Janis: [supermarket clothes pop off sometimes that will be amusing] Jimmy: [and any excuse to go into a changing room tbh, we know what you two are like] Janis: [shameless, like you've not been doing it any time you woke up in the day lol] Jimmy: [I don't think this is the exercise that nhs direct meant for fucked ribs Jimothy but live your best lives] Jimmy: [also if this supermarket has any make up testers on that aisle please piss about with those like you're the gals thank you] Janis: [lmao probably the opposite but you know, only a teenager once, one of the actual gals should come in 'cos we're clearly doing this for when the kids get home, so whoever it is can report back] Jimmy: [love that and I hope you did see us taking the piss, also he's gonna pick out the ugliest hair accessories like we're just gonna braid those in rn in the middle of said aisle, all the mums trying to shop will be fuming at y'all] Janis: [so mad they're not at school like who can force them, will see Jimmy is injured though which don't think anyone else knows yet so you can get your gums flapping about that] Jimmy: [seems like somewhere Hollie might be and it's never you so why not, like maybe Asia and her mum saw him on the school run this morning but he was downplaying it majorly then for Bobby and also obvs trying to avoid you so as likely you didn't] Janis: [I vibe it, you're probably not even being that bitchy just like oh Jimmy's got a sling on btw] Jimmy: [yeah she'd probably just like ?? wonder what he did @ Grace like do you know and then Mia and Ella will be !!!] Janis: [like it IS something scandalous but the odds of it being are so low like come on gals get a grip] Jimmy: [we get it you've got nothing going on in your own lives but for god's sake] Janis: [Grace could put it together about the need for pain pills though FYI] Jimmy: [totally, she isn't as thick as she's pretending to be so we could do the Janis and Billie convo like when it all kicks off but leave the one with her until more like now potentially] Janis: [that makes sense to me too, obvs she'll still be like why can your bf not go to the drs like a normal person but you know] Jimmy: [yeah, that is still very weird and god knows what Grace will be thinking happened but at least she won't be thinking Janis is a junkie so we'll take it] Janis: [fun times babayyyy] Jimmy: [can you think of any more supermarket shenanigans or have we milked this as hard as we can?] Janis: [we probably have, get home for these kiddos, can take Twix for her other walk] Jimmy: [she'll be buzzing] Janis: [can take Bobby to the park that's always a treat after school] Jimmy: [and when he's around you won't be smoking so the bae won't be fuming at you] Janis: [and we can subtly run around after Bobby so you don't have to go as hard] Jimmy: [the teamwork makes me happy] Janis: [hard same] Jimmy: Don't chuck the swing over, know what you're like Jimmy: 👀 Janis: excuse you Janis: that was chav boy #2 get it right Jimmy: 😏 Jimmy: convenient scapegoat, him Jimmy: when we get back to school, be piss easy to blame that dickhead for loads of shite Janis: dunno what year he's in Janis: or if he goes to our school Janis: still Jimmy: can't believe you didn't do a Q&A with him Jimmy: who are you? Janis: bit busy Janis: you've called me a pisshead way more Jimmy: should've called you a lightweight an' all Janis: if you wanna lie Jimmy: you can't 🤹 owt unless you're sober, what'd you call it? Janis: tbh I weren't that interested in them Janis: was you who had the questions, apparently Jimmy: I got that from how chuffed you were to piss off with me but tah for 🗨 Janis: obvs Janis: in it for the free shit not 😍 Jimmy: 💔 for them Janis: ikr Janis: Mia'll probably fuck 'em Janis: or make one of the others Jimmy: speaking of her Jimmy: we going to school tomorrow or what? Jimmy: been 👀 now Janis: really fucked up sending their biggest spy Janis: we don't have to Janis: but might wanna get your story out there before they can make one up Jimmy: longer we don't, more of a #scandal it'll be Jimmy: ✔ Jimmy: I'll @ Lucas now to chuck me in isolation before they can get the 🍿 out Janis: loads of girls DYING to take your notes for you Janis: it'll be alright Jimmy: not the 🖋 bit I'm bothered about Janis: you know they're crap liars and storytellers Janis: no 🏆👏 Jimmy: yeah Janis: what do you want to do? Janis: fuck them Jimmy: I don't know Janis: you don't need to work it out now Janis: you can sleep on it Jimmy: what do you wanna do? Janis: I wanna stay with you Janis: whatever you're gonna do Jimmy: [coming to hug you IRL because that's adorable and we love you] Janis: [OTT being like EWW get off me @Bobby for his sake but secretly giving him a loving squish] Jimmy: [kissing you on your head gal like we did when you were drunk at the other park and you can't stop us] Janis: ['nerd' but full of love] Jimmy: ['you' likewise] Janis: [Bobby probably wants to go get Libi though so we're gonna have to be like no no] Jimmy: [casually ruin the mood there bab] Janis: [whisk you away to make pizza 'cos not got time to explain that ban] Jimmy: [we'll all have fun messing about doing that at least] Janis: [even if we're now distracted by these thoughts, we trying] Jimmy: [he'll be knowing and trying to distract you by being a cute nerd, don't worry girl] Janis: [where should we skip to next?] Jimmy: [we could do them in school tomorrow because he's blatantly gonna go even though he should have more time off] Janis: [yeah I'm down for that, you would've actually brought your uniform gal so you can lol] Jimmy: [easy way to also sow the Harry seeds too] Janis: [you've probably missed a practice or two so we can totally get back on that train honey, maybe we should do that in another convo so we can do the Billie and Grace though, 'cos there might be things said that are relevant going forward at least somewhat?} Jimmy: [true yeah we do need to those first realistically]

Jeanmarco Revival Week Day 7 - Meet the Family

“Are you sure it’s okay with your family that I come?”

“Yes Jean, for the hundredth time. I’m not leaving my boyfriend alone on thanksgiving vacation. Besides, they’re all dying to meet you.”

“Who’s ‘they’ exactly?”

Marco snickers. “Well, there’s my parents, My older sister Nessie and her husband Matt, their little girl Emma, my little brother Marius, my uncle Mickey and his boyfriend Mike… Ymir and Krista will be there.”

“How exactly is she related to you again?”

“She’s uncle Mickey’s daughter from his first marriage.”

“Huh, where’s her mom?”

“She… well, they got a devorce for a few reasons but… In my opinion, she was kinda crazy. Her name was Anna. Ymir doesn’t really like to talk about her.”

“That’s fair, I barely talk to my dad anymore either. He’s got issues.”

Marco moves across the floor and comes to let next to Jean on his bed. “You really don’t want to go see your mom for break?”

“Nah, I already talked it over with her. I’m not driving eight hours just to spend one day at home.”

“But you don’t mind driving for two with me?”

“Nope, I’m looking forward to it.”

Marco gives him and easy smile. “Glad to hear it.”

Stepping into the Bodt household was like stepping into another world for Jean. The whole place was decked out in autumn dicor, Marco’s father, taller and a little broader than Marco with the same dust of freckles over his nose, greeted them at the door and ushered them into the house without a second thought.

“Hi I’m Dave, Marco’s dad. Nice to meet you, Jean right?”

“Yeha, I’m Jean. Nice to meet you too.” Jean holds out his hand and Dave takes it pulling him into a manly hug.

“It’s about time my son finally brought someone home, I was getting to think he’d be alone forever!”

Marco groans shutting the door behind him. “Dad, please!”

“Go see your mother in the kitchen, she broke out the good Chianti.” Dave leads them both by the shoulds to the kitchen where they were greeted by a short, bubbly little Italian woman with a glass of wine in hand.

“Marco, baby! Welcome home!” She sets down her glass and rushes to her son pulling him into a bear hug. She pulls back and dusts off his sweater beaming.”Oh, and this must be Jean! Nice to meet you sweetie!”

Jean smiles as he’s pulled into a similar hug. “Nice to meet you too ma’am.”

“Oh no no, call me Aurora! Or mom, if that’s easier!”

“Mom, please don’t scare him off.” Marco begs.

“It’s okay.” Jean laughs. “”This is a nice change of pace from my family.”

“Would you like a glass of wine dear? Or anything else? The pantry and the fridge are stocked.”

Jean grins at her. “I’ll try some of that wine.”

Aurora pours them both a glass and tells them to go see everyone in the living room. Jean meets Marco’s little brother Marius first who is an exact carbon copy of Marco but about two feet shorter and had his nose buried in his phone. He gets a simple “hey” before being directed to Marco’s sister Nessie and her little girl Emma on the floor.

“Unko Maako!” Emma squeals in delight as she gets up from her spot on the floor and rushes to him. Marco scoops her up and kisses her on the cheek.

“Emma, this is my friend Jean. He’s going to stay for Thanksgiving with us.”

She gives Jean a bashful wave and hugs Marco’s neck. “Hi Jean.” she says hiding her face.

“Oo, you better watch out Marco, I’ve seen her give those eyes to boys before.” Marco’s sister snorts.

“And this is my sister Ness.” He says rolling his eyes.

“Hi Ness, nice to meet you.” Jean says shaking her hand. “And It’s nice to meet you too Emma. Can I shake your hand?”

Emma gives Jean another bashful smile and holds out her hand laughing a sweet little laugh as he takes it. Marco sets her down and she runs back to her mother giggling.

“Where’s Matt?” Marco asks turning around the room.

“In the garage with the other boys. Ymir Included.”

Marco shrugs. “Figures. Okay, well I’m going to take Jean to meet everyone else. We’ll be back.”

Jean waves and doesn’t miss Emma waving back at him.

“Man, your family really goes all out for these things, huh?” Jean asks falling in step with Marco.

“We’re a close family, we get together as often as we can. Mom loves having everyone over, so the holidays are big for us.”

Jean chuckles. “My family is the polar opposite. We avoid each other at all costs. Your family is great though.”

Marco grabs Jeans hand. “I’m glad you think so.”

They make it into the garage to find Ymir and who Jean assumes is Matt, Mike, and Mickey.

“Is this him?” One of them with a hat and a beer can pipes up. “Nice Job Marco! He’s got a nice ass.”

“Are you kidding?” the man next to him chides in. “I don’t buy Marco as a top for one second!”

Ymir bursts out laughing.

Marco is absolutely mortified taking a step in front of Jean as if to shield him. “Oh my god! Can you guys not? What is wrong with you?”

“Cheer up Marco! Nothing wrong with being a pillow princess!” The man in a hat stands up and holds his hands out to Jean. “I’m Mickey, Marco’s favorite uncle!”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Jean.”

“And I’m Mike! Want a beer Jean?” Mike asks holding up a can.

“I’ve got a glass of wine, thanks though.”

“Posh.” Mickey and Mike respond at the same time.

“Hi Jean!” Krista says coming over with a smile and a glass of wine in her own hand.

“Hey, you hanging out with the boys too?”

Yeah, it’s pretty entertaining.” she says smiling.

Matt stands up last offering Jean his hand. “Hi I’m Matt, Nessie’s husband.”

“More like wife.” Mike jokes.

“Haha, very funny uncle Mike.”

Marco sighs scrubbing a hand over his face. “Well, this is my family…”

“It’s nice to meet all of you.” Jean says grinning.

Ymir throws an arm around Marco and pulls him in for a nuggie “Ain’t it great to be home Marco?”

Marco shrugs her off and wipes a hand over his face.“You all exhaust me…”

Much to Marco’s relief, dinner goes extremely well. Jean seems to have a great time eating and laughing with his family. Marco’s mother talks them into spending the night and it was when they were curled up in Marco’s old bed in his childhood room Marco can laugh about his family’s actions.

“I can’t believe uncle Mike said that to me. I could totally top you.”

Jean snorts. “Yeah, and is probably love it…. your family is great. I haven’t had this much fun in a while.”

Marco grins leaning in to kiss Jean on the cheek. “They’re a bit much sometimes, but they’re family. I’m glad you had a good time.”

“Thanks for inviting me Marco.”

“Thank you for coming. This is going to sound stupid, but I was kind of scared you wouldn’t want to.”

“Why wouldn’t I want to?”

Marco shrugs burying his face into Jean’s neck. “Meeting the family is kind of a big step I guess. I didn’t know if you were ready for that.”

“Marco I… I love you. And I’m glad you want me to meet your family.”

Marco pulls back and gives him one of the most beautiful smiles he’d ever seen. “You love me?”

“Yes! I love you, and it’s cute that you’re so shy about things, but you don’t have to worry. I love this. I love you.”

Marco presses their foreheads together and leans in to press a soft kiss to Jeans lips. “I love you too Jean. Thank you.”

Grenache

Pairing: Jimin x Reader

Genre: Flirty Fluff

Word Count: 1,664

Synopsis: Grenache is “bold and spicy” and so is Jimin. Also, you’re apparently really funny when you’re drunk.

Author’s Note: Feedback is always welcome! Sorry for any typos and such!

“Really, _____, it’ll be fun!” Lorraine nearly pleaded.

_____ crossed her arms, head tilted in skepticism. “Wine tasting with you and your boyfriend? No thanks; I’d rather not be the third wheel and-”

“It’s free~,” her best friend sang.

_____ pondered the idea for a moment. What’s the worst that could happen? Besides, going anywhere for free alcohol is almost always a good idea. “Fine…Pick me up at seven.”

She walked into the lobby of the building and looked around, absentmindedly adjusting the strap of her dress as she took in the ostentatious décor. As her eyes skimmed the room, a poster caught her eye. “Wait a second…couple’s wine tasting?” she asked incredulously.

Lorraine and her boyfriend, Taehyung, trailed in behind her, nervously smiling at their friend’s discovery. “Yeah, we just thought that maybe since you recently became single…”

“No. No. Hell no,” _____ stated firmly, already moving towards the door.

“Oh, come on, _____. One blind date wouldn’t hurt,” Taehyung reasoned, lightly grabbing the flustered girl’s arm and turning her back around.

“You both know how much I hate blind dates,” she said, speaking in a barely hushed tone, hoping not to draw any attention.

“Yeah, but he’s my closest friend and a really great guy.”

“And he’s really hot,” Lorraine added, earning a quick, irritated look from her boyfriend.

“He could be the sexiest man alive, and the answer would still be-”

“Hey, Jimin! Over here,” Taehyung called out to his coworker, motioning for him to come over.

“Too late; haha!” Lorraine whispered.

_____ rolled her eyes, figuring that she should at least get a good look at the poor soul they had invited on this double date. ‘…Well I’ll be damned…,’ she thought to herself as she came face to face with a definite candidate for the title of sexiest man alive. Dark brown hair fell over deep brown eyes, and pleasantly round cheeks contrasted perfectly with a deadly sharp jawline.

He came over and greeted Lorraine and Taehyung before turning to _____. “And you must be _____,” he smiled.

“I must be,” she laughed awkwardly, holding her hand out for him to shake. He gently grasped it without hesitation and brought it to his pouty lips for a soft kiss. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Only good things, I hope.”

“Of course, of course,” he chuckled, the sound a gentle melody that she desperately wanted to hear again.

The two couples separated but were close enough to keep an eye on each other. Jimin pulled out _____’s chair for her and she thanked him as she sat down. ‘So far, so good….,’ she thought to herself. Then she perused the menu for a few moments before the dark-haired stranger spoke up.

“Any preferences?” he asked.

“I’m really not too knowledgeable about this stuff, so it’s all Greek to me,” she replied shyly.

“More like Italian, but I get what you mean,” he teased with a slight smirk, causing her to smile and blush a bit. A waiter stopped his cart by the table and asked for the first wine selection, making sure to suggest a few. Jimin gave _____ a quick look in a questioning manner, but she simply shrugged nonchalantly as if to say, “your choice”.

“Moscato d'Asti to start with, please,” he requested, not even bothering to look at the menu. The waiter nodded and grabbed a bottle from a bucket of ice before filling two glasses halfway. He then placed them on the table and the two thanked him as he moved on to the next couple.

_____ took a sip, letting the saccharine taste overtake her taste buds, and nodded in approval. “Good choice; I like it. It’s sweet and refreshing,” she smiled.

“Well, they say a person’s wine preference is reflective of their personality,” he replied, tilting his glass slightly.

She raised an eyebrow as her finger danced across the rim of her wine glass. “Then, what’s your preference?”

“Grenache,” he stated simply, eyes swimming dangerously deep into hers.

She quickly glanced down at the menu to find the words “spicy” and “bold” written under his wine choice. “So, let’s try that one next,” she suggested.

“You sure you want to skip to that one? I mean, it’s soft on the palate, but the alcohol content is pretty high and…to be honest, you seem like a bit of a lightweight,” he said in the politest way possible.

“Excuse you, Mr. Wine Connoisseur; I am not a lightweight,” she retorted playfully, setting her glass down on the table.

“Alright then, if you insist.” Jimin got the attention of the waiter and ordered her request. The waiter gave them an odd look, since he knew that particular wine was supposed to come later but did as he was told and went back to another table. “Cheers,” Jimin smirked, holding out his glass to her with a mischievous glint in his eye.

“Cheers,” she answered with a similar expression as she tapped her glass against his.

About an hour, 3 bottles, and a very in-depth conversation later, it was safe to say that _____ was far passed tipsy. She moved her hand to grab her glass and almost knocked it over before Jimin caught it. “Oops,” she almost laughed.

“I think you’ve had enough for tonight, _____,” he said, trying not to laugh, himself.

“Agreed,” she responded, massaging one of her temples.

Unwilling to ruin her friends’ date night, she accepted Jimin’s offer to take her home. As she sat into the back of the cab, she turned to her date. “Hey, Jimin?”

He looked at her with a crooked smile, eyebrow quirked in curiosity. “Hm?”

“You were right. I am a lightweight,” she said, launching herself into a fit of giggles as the two settled in.

He couldn’t help but smile at how adorable she was, even in her drunk state. Placing a hand on top of hers, he replied, “I figured as much.” The entire ride was spent with him listening to _____’s drunken rambling, engaging her in conversation as much as he could manage and finding the entire endeavor to be quite amusing.

“Here, let me,” Jimin suggested, gently taking the keys after her fourth attempt at opening the door. “Think you can make it in okay?” he asked, a bit skeptically.

“Of course I can!” she said indignantly. She took about two steps into her house before tripping on the mat at the front door. With a sigh, he bent down to help her up, bracing her weight against his body as they made their way upstairs.

She flopped onto the bed as Jimin found the bathroom. “Do you have any pain killers?” he called.

“Medicine cabinet!”

He shuffled through a bunch of pill bottles and went for the lowest dosage that would still help with the massive headache he knew she’d eventually have. “Here, take this,” he said, hurrying back into her room with a pill. She grabbed a nearby bottle of water and chugged everything down as he bent down to her eye level with.

“Are you okay now?”

“I’m fine.”

“You sure? What’s twelve times twelve?”

“One forty-four. I’m drunk, not stupid,” she deadpanned.

“Touché,” he laughed. There was a comfortable silence for a moment, until she felt bold enough to interrupt it. “You’re really pretty,” she hummed, still emboldened by the fiery liquid courage running through her system.

He looked at her in surprise for a second but smiled right after. “So are you, _____.”

“And you’re really sweet,” she added warmly.

“So are you,” he chuckled.

“And I really want to kiss you right now.”

He paused for a second before answering. “And I really want to kiss you, too…”

_____ leaned in with closed eyes and felt something soft press against her lips. However, it wasn’t his lips…It was the pad of his finger. “But you said you never kiss on the first date,” he grinned, repeating what she had told him earlier. Finally opening her eyes, she couldn’t help but pout as he removed his finger. He laughed softly and tilted her chin upward to place a light kiss on her forehead. “Goodnight, _____.”

_____ woke up the next morning with a slightly nagging pain instead of a massive headache, and a vague understanding of exactly what had happened the night before. Slowly rising from the mess of sheets and clothes, she looked over at her nightstand and saw a piece of paper with writing on it.

“I had a great time last night. ;) ***-***-****,” she read the neat cursive as her mind drew a complete blank. ‘What the fuck happened last night…?’

“Please pick up, please pick up,” she muttered, listening to the phone ring.

“Hello?”

She swallowed nervously as his smooth voice reached your ear. “Um…Hi, Jimin. It’s _____.”

“I had a feeling you’d call,” he chuckled.

“Yeah, I saw your note and I was just wondering, uh…What exactly happened…last night?”

“It was amazing, _____. You made sounds that I never heard a woman make before.”

“What?…I-I…Look, whatever happened, or didn’t happen last night-”

“I’m joking, _____. We didn’t have sex,” Jimin interrupted her stuttering with a laugh and she felt relief wash over her before a wave of ‘wtf’ hit.

“What the hell, Jimin; I almost had a heart attack!” she exclaimed. Laughing a bit, herself, she pressed her hand against her chest to calm down.

“But last night really was amazing to me…and incredibly entertaining, because you’re hilarious when you’re drunk.”

“Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it,” she retorted in a playfully sarcastic tone before adding, “But remind me to never drink that much again.”

“Gotcha….So I guess that means you’ll go on a second date with me…?”

Smiling at the sound of uncertain hope at the base of his voice, she replied, “Only if there’s no alcohol involved.”

“Agreed, Little Miss Lightweight,” he nodded, feeling his mouth stretch into a wide grin.

Maybe blind dates weren’t so bad, after all.

Thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy: 15X9

Wow. There was a lot going on in this episode! As mid-season premieres go I really liked it! It was a very strong episode. I went into it expecting to hate the Meredith/DeLuca/Link storyline and came out loving it! It was really funny and entertaining to watch. If they keep going in this direction I can get behind it. Meredith is having fun! She’s not settling down or introducing them to her kids. She’s having fun and she deserves it!

I loved the opener where Glasses and Nico are still getting in on in the ambulance! Haha! Their scenes were hilarious. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this couple. When Alex almost caught Glasses and Nico in the act! My friend and I nearly died laughing! Glasses’ line, “What is the deal with this elevator!” cracked me up! Alex’s speech to them at the end is everything! I love him! Any other Chief would have suspended or fired them.

I went back and forth on DeLuca in this episode. I hated that DeLuca was being so flip about the elevator situation. Being stuck in an elevator is scary and after what Meredith has been through she really doesn’t like being stuck in small spaces. I liked the Dr. Who reference. Meredith did not and I could see why.

I liked that we got to know more about DeLuca in this episode. It looks like the writers amalgamated some of their ideas about Meredith’s new love interest that were reported last year into DeLuca. Also it gives Meredith and DeLuca something in common which they didn’t really have before.

I love Meredith’s dark sense of humour! I also love that they are employing the actors’ language skills more now. It’s a nice nod to the international fans of the show and it leads to some interesting storylines and storytelling. I wonder whose idea that was? I’d love to know. My heart broke for the people DeLuca’s father killed in his manic state. What a horrible way to go. Their poor families and friends! Also to see that person get away with it. I don’t know if I could sleep at night after that.

I loved Meredith’s fake out in the elevator! That’s our girl! We also got an explanation for the misleading promo which was nice. I’m glad Meredith is focusing on learning from her mistakes and I’m glad that they’re finally addressing Meredith and Derek’s complicated past. I totally wanted to hit DeLuca for that comment though! Meredith’s kids are NOT mistakes! That’s not what she’s talking about!

Marrying the love of her life and having three amazing kids with him was not a mistake! Dating her attending who was married was a mistake. THAT’S the part she’s trying to learn from. Know your history DeLuca!!! Jeez! When they revealed that Meredith knows and speaks Italian because she took it in Undergrad I almost died laughing! She’s been understanding everything he’s been saying! Oh Grey’s!

That also means that Meredith can understand Spanish as they’re closely related. It would be cool to see something surrounding that in a future episode. Then they’re about to kiss ... annnd the elevator doors finally open! Of course! In true Grey’s style! That one Nurse in the hallway! She knows what’s up!

I felt bad for Jackson in this episode as well. That’s terrible news to receive. I also liked that he challenged Link in the OR. Link was out of line. An amputation is never the best option. It’s a last resort option. That’s their freaking leg! It was nice to see more of Qadri in this episode. I liked that we got to know Helm better in this episode too. I really empathized with both Bailey and Helm when they were having panic attacks in the elevator while trying to keep their organ donor’s body alive. I think I wound have done the same thing. I liked that Helm helped Bailey through her panic attack.

I felt so bad for Bailey when she was having another panic attack! She was so worried about Ben! And then Alex saved the day! Poor Alex. He’s always stuck saving the day and supporting everyone around him. He doesn’t get enough credit! He also needs to have his own character centric episode. It is well past time!

I felt so bad for Amelia in this episode. Everything crumbled around her without warning. I liked the way the elevator scenes between Owen, Teddy, and Amelia were written. Amelia was hilarious and spot on. Owen was angry and confused. Teddy was upset, confused, and snarky. I felt bad for Amelia when she saw how in sync Teddy and Owen were. That must have been so hard for her. Clamshell double entendre! Haha!

When Owen turned the licence plate into a knife and hit it with a battery to crack the patient’s chest and then wanted to talk about Teddy’s pregnancy that was crazy! Teddy was all excited and Amelia was freaked out as hell! Such a fun elevator ride! I never realized before that Brain surgery is largely bloodless. It makes sense but it also means that Brain surgeons aren’t as accustomed to seeing large amounts of blood pouring out of a patient as other surgeons are. They played into that really well in these scenes. Jo’s line, “You should go.” was hilarious.

I felt bad for Jed the maintenance man when Webber was taking his terrible mood out on him. And then Jackson did the same thing. That being said Jed was a real curmudgeon. He was pretty useless while there was literal crisis going on. All he did was tell everyone what they couldn’t do and refused to help. It’s a hospital. Helping is literally their job! He also appeared totally nonplussed that his actions were causing people to die and suffer until it affected him and then he cared. That’s pretty darn selfish especially for a man who works in a freaking hospital.

I totally rooted for Helm in this episode! She does need to learn when to stop talking though. Despite what a jerk he’d been when Jed got crushed by the elevator I freaked out! It looked so so bad! The fact that Jed likes CeCe because she set him up with a critical care nurse was sweet though. And it got him singing a different tune about the elevators! Link’s line, “Or maybe her name is Joy.” Cracked me up! And of course while everyone is taking their anger out on the elevator doors is when Alex shows up!

The minute Webber spotted Betty walking around aimlessly I knew something was up. I think he did too. Then when Webber got a page I though uh oh! I don’t think Betty’s going back to the ER! I turned out to be right and Betty was looking for drugs.

I was SO sad when CeCe died! GOSH DARNIT GREY’S!!! I LOVED Meredith’s monologue to CeCe after she had died. It was perfect! Mer is happier than she’s been in a long time and she’s having fun and dating hot guys and I’m happy for her. She deserves it. I feel like she’s echoing the way fans are feeling in this monologue. Thank you CeCe. Poor Helm! One of the things that I took from the CeCe OR scenes is that DeLuca likes Meredith more than she likes him.

Teddy’s wearing her bird scrub cap again! Owen’s so happy that they’re having a baby and Teddy’s so sad that she gets to have the baby, but not him like she always wanted. Poor Teddy! I loved Amelia’s line, “I shoulda said take condoms!” God she is funny and heartbreaking all at the same time. I really like her character now. Poor Owen.

I think there are a lot of parallels to be made about the scene between Owen and Amelia in the stairwell and the scenes from earlier seasons between Owen and Cristina in stairwells talking about Teddy. I like that Amelia is recognizing that she needs to give Owen time. Part of his problem is that he dives into things headfirst without thinking in his personal relationships. He’s been here before and it didn’t end well. He needs to take time to figure out what he wants.

Amelia’s single tear broke me! Such good acting here by Caterina Scorsone. We also learn that Betty is going to Rehab to get clean. And they saved Jed’s legs! Yeah! I loved his line, “I gave this building everything and then it tried to eat me!” Haha! The episode ends with Jackson and Maggie about to tell Richard about Catherine which is heartbreaking.

I loved Meredith’s Leia braids! DeLuca went WAY too far with those comments though! I’m team Link on this one. Meredith and DeLuca on a date. Now that would be funny. I laughed when he realized that he wanted to go out with that night … and then Link showed up!

And then Meredith channeled CeCe and said, “I’m so sorry. I’m being haunted.” Hahaha! Perfect! So in the end she decides to go home and see her kids and leaves them both wondering. This is why we love her!

Next week’s promo looks so intense! I’m so excited! I’m really excited for the return of Thatcher Grey. I hate his character, but Jeff Perry is so brilliant at playing him that he makes it fun to watch. The interactions between Link and Meredith look entertaining. I’m curious as to how Owen gets accidentally injected in the OR. I like how they are drawing attention to the fact that it’s not a love triangle with Link and DeLuca because as Mer says there’s no love and no triangle. This I can get behind! Teddy is making a terrible job pitch and it looks like Catherine has her surgery. Fun!

That’s it for now folks! Tune in next week!

Right Here

A/N: I posted awhile ago that I wanted to post some of the ideas I had for stories with Dean and I finally did it! It took me a long ass time but I hope you guys like it! I’m going to focus on one story at a time and I’ll try to post when I can. School is starting soon for me so I’ll have to figure out a schedule. I plan on posting more unless it doesn’t get a lot of notes haha! Anyways thanks to those who waited and like it! Also I might change the name later on if I find one that I think fits better.

Genre: Fluff and Angst, RoommatesAU

“Did someone use my toothbrush?!” I yelled out of the bathroom. I could hear laughing from the living room and then saw Hyoseob walk past.

“Wasn’t me.” Was all he said with his hands raised defensively. The laughing got louder in the living room and I could feel my blood pressure raise by the second. I threw my now old toothbrush in the trash and walked - more like stomped - into the living room. There I was met with a smiling Hyuk who was helplessly trying to cover it with his sweater paw.

“Why? Huh?! Do you just like being nasty and mean?!” I half yelled at him.

“How did you even know I used it?” He said between laughs.

“‘Cause it was still wet,” I whined. A snort came from Hyoseob who was in the kitchen listening in on the conversation. Sometimes I wonder why I thought living with two boys was a good idea.

“Chill, I didn’t actually use it-”

“What?!!” I threw my hands up before pressing my fingers into my temples.

“I just did it to mess with you.” He let out another laugh and so did Hyoseob. I could hear Hyoseob making stupid comments in the kitchen about how it was a good prank.

“I fucking threw out my toothbrush though.” My body fell onto the couch. Once again, I heard the two boys cackle at my pain. I stayed on the couch exhausted from the damn prank wondering how I will clean my damn mouth now. I have class in half an hour.

“Oh come on, Maya. I’ll buy you a new brush. Admit it, it’s kinda funny.” Hyuk moved closer to me on the couch and played with my hair. “Your breath can’t smell that bad. Here, let me smell.” He came closer.

“Ew, no your gross, Hyuk.” I tried pushing him away but he didn’t budge. He kept coming closer and laughing at my attempt to keep my mouth closed. I thought I was doing a pretty good job until he started tickling my sides, making me shriek.

“There we go!” He laughed as he continued tickling me and made loud sniffing sounds, “Mmm, smells amazing. Who knew you’d have such good smelling morning breath!” He yelled over my laugh. We were a laughing fit until he grew tired of tickling and laid his head on my stomach. We laid on the couch for a minute while catching our breaths.

“Y’all are nasty. Who smells each other’s morning breath.” Hyoseob commented while putting his shoes on, “Anyways, I'm gonna be at the studio all day so don’t wait up.” He winked towards us and then walked out the door. We waved at him and then I felt Hyuk move his head. He looked up me with the sweetest smile that made my chest tighten. His hair was still messy since it was the morning and his skin had a soft glow that made him enchanting.

“I’ll buy you a new toothbrush, I promise.” He laughed and moved to get up. I immediately missed his warmth and wished we could have stayed like that longer.

“It’s okay, but I’m gonna be late to class now.” I let out a laugh as I moved to sit up.

“I’ll drive you to school if you want.” He pushed his hair back as he stood up looking around for his keys.

“Really? But, don’t you have work?” I asked but I was hoping he didn’t even though the usually worked Mondays.

“Nope, I switched shifts with someone. Now hurry up! The Hyuk train leaves in five.” He mimicked a honking noise before going to his room.

“Ugh, don’t ever do that again.” I fake shivered as I walked towards the bathroom to finish getting ready.

“So, I’ll pick you up at 5? We can go pick something up and have a movie night.” He parked on the side of the road once we arrived at my school.

“You’re picking me up, too? Damn, you must really feel bad about that toothbrush, huh?” I laughed at his exaggerated sigh of frustration.

“No, actually” he side-eyed me dramatically making me laugh even more. “It’s because Hyoseob said he’s working late so that means we can watch a scary movie without him complaining.” This time we both laughed remembering how dramatic Hyoseob can be about horror flicks.

“You right, you right. Okay well, I’m officially half an hour late to class thanks to you.” I gave him a sarcastic smile to which he responded with his middle finger. I let out a chuckle as I got out of the car and we said our goodbyes.

My classes were interesting for the most part. I had completed the required classes the year before so now I was focusing on the classes I enjoyed and actually went towards my degree in cinematography and directing. My classes lasted from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, although it varied at times. It was tiring at times, but I was lucky enough to be surrounded by friendly peers. I had already finished half of my day, it was a little after 12 which mean my lunch break was due. I placed all my notes in my bag and went to put my jacket on as I saw one of my friends approach me.

“Hey, Maya!” He greeted me with a bright smile and a friendly wave.

“Hey Christian!” I waved back while putting my backpack on my back.

“Do you wanna join me and the others for some lunch at the cafe down the street?” He offered as he pointed behind him to our group of friends. I usually made my own lunch in the morning, but since the whole toothbrush thing happened I didn’t have time.

“Oh, sure! Sounds like fun!”

“Great! Let’s go then.” He gestured for me to go in front of him. I could see the others hoot and howler as they saw me walk towards them.

“Finally! She agrees for once in her damn life!” Bobby laughed while the others joined in. I just rolled my eyes at them.

“You guys know I don’t go because I bring my own food, and I’m broke,” I added the last part while laughing. They invited me almost every day, but I refused because I knew that I would end up spending the little money that I had on expensive ass coffee and overpriced bread.

“Ok yeah, but we’re all broke and we still go.” Scott nudged me as we all walked towards the entrance of the university.

“Yeah, and that’s stupid.” I chuckled as they all rolled their eyes at me. For the rest of lunch, we spent our time talking about the new semester and other random topics. I sat between Christian and Dabin.

“Oh, Maya, since you’re already outta your comfort zone and spending money,” Dabin turned towards me with a mischievous smile. “You should join me and Ian to a lil’ concert in Hongdae on Friday. I’ll be performing!”

“Sounds like fun. How much, though?” I let out a laugh aware of the fact that I was the frugal friend. Dabin rolled his eyes at me and opened his mouth, but Christian interrupted him.

“I’ll pay for you, don’t worry.” He offered like it was no big deal. My eyes widened at his offer. The others heard and also paid attention.

“Wait, Maya is going? Now I’m for sure going.” Dahye chimed in smiling.

“Wait, you weren’t planning on going, Dahye?” Dabin said annoyed.

“I mean I was thinking about it, but Mino asked me out and he’s like really cute.” She responded with a smile clearly thinking about Mino at the moment. I blocked out their usual bickering and turned towards Christian who was sipping on iced coffee.

“You don’t have to pay for me, Ian. Thanks though.”

“I want to. I mean, I just never got anything for your birthday, ya know.” He continued sipping his coffee as he looked down at me.

“That’s true. What kind of friend would you be if you didn’t get me a birthday present?” I smirked as I saw his eyes widen for a second until he laughed at my sarcasm.

“Okay kids, we should probably start heading back to campus if we wanna get to class on time,” Scott spoke over us as he stood up with his empty plate.

“Yes, mother.” Bobby mockingly answered while the rest of us laughed and cleared our table.

The day was almost over. I only had one class left and that was all about cameras with Christian. About halfway through I felt my phone vibrate and checked to see that I got a text from Hyuk.

Hey, I had a last minute thing I forgot about so I’m gonna have to cancel tonight. Sorry! Xx

I let out a sigh after I read the text. It wasn’t the end of the world, but now it meant I had to walk home and I was looking forward to the movie night with him.

“What’s wrong?” Christian whispered giving me a curious look.

“Nothing, my ride just canceled on me.” I shrugged and put my phone back in my bag.

“I can take you home if you want,” He offered with a small smile. I smiled back and shook my head.

“No worries, I live pretty close. Plus, I gotta stop by the store.”

“Are you sure? I-” He was cut off by the professor clearing his throat loudly. We both looked up and were greeted with his glaring eyes. I mouthed a ‘sorry’ and went back to taking notes.

Once the class was over I packed up my notes and got ready to leave, but was stopped once again by Christian.

“Hey, you wanna get some dinner? There’s a really good pizza spot like ten minutes away from here.” He offered with a sweet smile. As much as I liked hanging out with Christian, I was tired and Hyuk really ruined my mood. It didn’t help that I knew his “last minute thing” was most likely a date. At this point, I just wanted to go home and sleep.

“I don’t know, Ian. I’m pretty tired.” I gave him a weak smile.

“I have a coupon and it’s gonna expire soon,” He sang trying to convince me. I let out a laugh at his playful smile and nodded.

“I wouldn’t want it to go to waste.” We laughed as we walked out of the classroom and then towards the parking lot.

We walked into the pizzeria and once we ordered and got our food we sat down a booth by the window.

“This place is really cute.” I looked around the restaurant and noticed all the little Italian-esque decorations.

“Yeah, and the pizza is really good, too.” Ian enthused as he took a bit out of the cheesy slice. I nodded as I bit into my own savory slice. “So who was the bum that canceled on you?” He asked after he swallowed his piece. I rolled my eyes jokingly and finished my bite.

“The bum was my roommate, Hyuk. He had a last minute thing.” I replied focusing my attention on the pizza.

“Hyuk? Sounds familiar. Does he go to uni with us?” He asked.

“Nah, he doesn’t go to school he does music,” I answered a little bitterly.

“Oh, and you don’t like that?” Ian asked probably because of my tone.

“No, I do actually. I’m just mad at him right now.” I laughed trying to lighten the mood. He nodded and realized I didn’t really want to talk about him so he changed the subject. We talked about Dabin’s show this weekend and who else would be there. We also talked about the way he reacted at Dahye talking about Mino and teased him for his crush. After we finished we walked around for a bit. He talked about his life in Australia and I talked about mine in the States. It felt strange, I thought I knew him pretty well, but as we talked I realized that there was a lot I didn’t know about.

“Oh shit, it’s getting late. I didn’t realize we walked that long.” He laughed while looking at his clock.

Damn, we should start walking towards the car.” He nodded as we headed back. We walked in silence until he spoke up.

“Actually, this place has really good macaroons,” He pointed at a little pastry shop to our right. He gave me a look as if asking if we could enter.

“Okay, okay. Let’s go in.” I responded and giggled. Christian greeted the lady behind the counter with a friendly ‘Hi’ and went to look at the little macaroons. They were arranged to look like a rainbow, an adorable, pastel rainbow.

“Which one are you gonna get?” He looked over at me once he picked the ones he wanted.

“I don’t know,” I placed my hands on my hips. “I’ve never had macaroons.”

“Are you serious?!” Christian practically yelled. All I did was shake my head as I continued to look at the little pastries. “I cannot believe this. Okay, being the great friend that I am I’ll get you two to try out,” he said dramatically.

By the time we got back to my apartment it was eleven. He parked in the drop-off area and let out a small yawn.

“Alright, Maya. I’ll see ya tomorrow then. We should do this more often.” He gave me a sleepy smile as he stretched.

“For sure, you’re actually really fun.” I snickered as I watched him roll his eyes at me.

“Get out of my car.” He replied with the best straight face he could muster, but he ended up breaking into a smile. We said our goodbyes and I made my way to the apartment.

“Hey,” I jumped at the unexpected voice. My eyes scanned the area and saw Hyuk walk towards me. I smiled when I saw until I remembered he canceled on me earlier. “Sorry about earlier, I-”

“It’s fine.” I gave a forced smile as I continued walking towards the elevator. “You just getting home now, too?” I asked trying to distract myself from the anger.

“Yeah, I forgot that I had a date with Hana.” He only confirmed my suspicion of being dropped for another one his dates. Awesome. We went into the elevator quietly, but I could tell he had something on his mind. I decided not to press on since I didn’t really want to talk to him right now. However, it seemed like he wanted to talk about it since he spoke up.

“So, um, who was that?” His voice sounded almost like a whisper. The elevator dinged indicating we reached our floor.

“Christian,” I answered while walking out of the small elevator and down the hall.

“Christian who?” He asked rather harshly. I side eyed him when I noticed his tone.

“He’s my friend from school. We have like every single class together.” I answered while looking for my key. I opened the door and quickly took my shoes off.

“Oh,” Was all he said. I looked back at him for a second and then noticed a small hickey peeking up from his shirt. My jaw clenched at the thought of him deciding to cancel on me to fuck some girl. Without another word, I made my way to my room. I locked the door and threw my bag to the side before falling onto my bed. A groan escaped my mouth as I felt tears well up. I quickly brushed them off and went to grab a makeup wipe. Once I cleared my face and changed into something comfortable, I went into my bathroom.

“Great, I forgot to get the damn toothbrush,” I grumbled to myself. However, when I looked down at the counter I saw an unopened bright pink toothbrush. There was a small note attached to it with Hyuk’s handwriting on it.

Dear Maya, Sorry for being a shit friend. I know I suck at promises and I shouldn’t have canceled. I’m also sorry about your toothbrush and stinky breath haha. I got you this cute new toothbrush though! It’s pink and it also lights up! Anyways, I’m sorry and I hope you can forgive me and we can have a lil sleepover in your room and watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine till we fall asleep. Love you! Ya boy, Hyuk

I could feel my lips stretch into a smile at his cute note. I carefully placed the note on the side making sure it didn’t get wet and brushed my teeth and washed my face. Once I was ready for bed, I let out a small sigh and went to knock on his door. I could hear him rush and stumble to his door and then he finally opens it with a timid smile. I hated it when he acted like this. It made him absolutely adorable and irresistible.

“Come on,” Was all I said as I rolled my eyes at him. He quickly ran into my room, grabbing my laptop and then plopping on my bed under the sheets. It was still quiet between us, but it was comfortable silence. Once the show was set, he placed his arm under my head and pulled me close to him. As much as he went out with other girls, it was moments like these that made me feel like he was mine and I was his. These were the nights that I longed for, I longed for his warmth and his scent. I was foolishly in love with Kwon Hyuk.
