#also i kinda really don't like how he treats drift especially when you can tell so much of it is jro using ratchet as a soapbox

[nonocere]

really quick: i think the way jro wrote ratchet irt religion is incredibly distasteful and shitty and will not be incorporating any of that to my portrayal.

as a trauma medic, especially in such an impoverished area as the dead end, he would Know that often people turn to religion to cope with trauma. berating Anyone for being religious is not . well it simply doesn't makes sense and isn't true to any of his characterization prior to mtmte. (see his own tendency towards superstitions prior to mtmte)

additionally my ratchet is an agnostic jew, which gives him a more nuanced perspective than jro could ever dream of.

<<hey do you fw this guy? ik hes not performing nearly as well as Lukas and Yuki but tbh i like writing him. the bite-sized nature of this story is liberating, as is the inner-monologue style ive chosen. given how busy ive been this feels good to write hahaha. lmk how we feel about this one.

Also if you noticed how misogynistic my characters all are - lord knows i tried not to build them this way. Unfortunately ive interviewed (informally) a lot of straight cis men in my life and i'll tell you what - they are even WORSE than what ive put down here. My commitment to psychological realism may be my demise. Sorry if you came to me looking for escapism. But hey, at least these guys commit to the bit, huh? dont fw this kinda guy irl tho lol>>

For my own sanity, please don't give me the truth.

So you are the type to fuck me then leave me, I see.

You were gone by morning. When did you sneak out? I have no clues. It was my fault, I didn't hold you tight enough when I drifted to sleep. Can you blame me, though? You worked your magic on me like your life depended on it. You treated your tongue and fingers like they were that of the Devil, and the rest of your body as if you were on a mission to recall the soul I owed you. You even attentively wiped me down, smiling, your lips butterflying on my sweaty forehead. You acted like all the trickstery you had pulled were out of love.

No... it really was my fault. I should have been the one giving you the time of your life. Instead I let you play me like a fiddle... my god. How embarrassing. How very emasculating. I can't fault you for being gone so soon when I lied sprawling and broken after you were done with me. For godsake, I whimpered and whined under you.

I tried texting you, but you took half your Sunday to respond. What the hell were occupying your time? Did you have any idea how each hour agonizingly crawled past me? I guess not. I asked if you got home okay. You said "of course, thanks for checking in on me. You're so nice!"

Man, fuck you.

I bit the bullet and asked you out again. No respond for the rest of the day. Fine. No big deal. I was never one to be bothered by juvenile texting etiquettes. You were busy. I get it. You had plans. You're a busy person. All good.

Or you lost interest in me.

I feel used, but I wasn't sure for what. You weren't on it for a free dinner, that's for sure - you have never looked like you were strapped for cash. As for my body... I don't believe what I gave was nearly adequate. You didn't even give me a chance to prove myself - hell, you pushed me down on my own bed and wringed all you could out of me. Why on Earth did you humor me, if you got nothing worthwhile out of me?

Maybe you found that out afterward. You saw me at work, then at dinner, then in bed, and you decided that I wasn't worth your time.

I'l give you one - I now know that you are very funny.

Elsewise, I got nothing.

Given your secretive nature I suppose you wouldn't kiss and tell. There's nothing in it for you, except for an even more tarnished reputation. We all hate you anyway.

Well, they all hate you.

The others didn't hold back when they talked about you - they made fun of your clothes for being "too nice" (whatever the hell that means). They also laughed between themselves about your overly formal and distant attitude - did you know they think you're a robot? You are especially NOT popular with the girls, by the way. They think you're, and I quote, a stuck-up bitch.

The fellows mostly don't mind you. With the way you conducted yourself around me, I'm sure you know how easy us men are by now - if you're kind to the eyes, we wouldn't have any qualms with you. But, we also have this pathetic thing we do where we agree with the ladies around us. They're easy on the eyes as well, and we want to scutter around them long enough to maybe get something out of them. Long shot, I know. Extremely desperate. Well, I know that, too. Forgive us when we nod along or laugh between one another when the gals make degrading assumptions about the men you might have slept with to get all the nice things you have, like your shoes or clothes or earring or that enviable sense of financial security.

Again, I'm sorry.

I used to not think about their gossips, but the way you dominated my body and self worth stirred something ugly at the depth of my guts. Did you do this before? How many man have you spent the way you did me? How many were driven a wreck?

Actually, never answer that.

Sweet Escape

Cw: mostly fluff and ship content, OC x Canon, Fumi not being a professional writer

Even if to many Heartslabyul students it seemed like the two were dating already... even after Treys sweet confession with a cake she couldn't really believe this was real... that they were a thing now... in itself it made Carol nervous but excited as well... and she knew... she wanted to make it something special.

And so for her first date with him she decided to make room when it comes to tutoring... her schedule was always a busy one but she didn't want anything to get in the way of this special day. Especially cause those last days with her students wore her down... as she wrote some notes and made up some ideas between classes she noticed a hand laying a muffin on the table that was all too familiar as she turned her head and smiled.

"Punctual as usual, Sweetcake."

"Someone seems excited."

"After all I look forward to our meeting later. I did plan some things."

He put a hand on her shoulder and winked. "Knowing you it probably will be nice, just don't overdo it, Carol. Or else I need to carry you there later."

Her cheeks grew a little red. "I will make sure to watch out for that."

He placed a kiss on her cheek and moved on... she couldn't help but stare after him as Lyla next to her snapped her out of it.

"Guess you still need to finish your plan right? Girl, I know what you think right now but-"

"Don't mind it... I do have that dress Mythra recommended... it is a good day today so might as well try that summer dress. And I think I just got the place I can invite him to."

Lyla gave her a nod. "Just loosen up and have fun, will you. You always try to work hard to make a good impression on others so, relax."

"Thank you Lyla."

"And what about me, are you two not going to ask me how I got this wound?" Leroy scoffed at them as Carol looked in concern and plastered a bandaid on the spot. "With your dorm... its no wonder it happens. But If there is anything I can get you, do tell Lee."

"Better listen to Lyla, I am fine, don't worry about others and think of yourself."

With a smile the tutor got up and moved on after finishing her lunch.. the day went exhausting as usual. Eventually she went back to Ramshackle, changed her clothes and texted Trey where to meet up... with a smile she looked up at his face lighting up seeing her... she even could spot a blush on it... noticing the picnic basket in his hands.

He opened his arms to hug her a little before they looked at another.

"You look... really pretty in this."

"Thank you. I see you also did take my request to heart."

"If you chose a nice place might as well provide with something nice to eat as well. I hope a warm apple pie will be to your liking."

He pulled an arm around her as she chuckled. "You know me well already."

The nervous feeling she had was lifted just seeing his smirk... she held her hand to his while they walked, accepting his arm in an half embrace... the wind slowly drifted across them on this sunny day... a perfect day for a stroll to the flower fields and a picnic...

The sweet smell of Begonias and Lilies drew near as Carol started to hold Treys hand calmly guiding him through the flower garden she found... a fountain gave a calm breeze in this heat before they both settled down on a blanket and packed out their lunches.

"To think people thought we been dating so long and this is our actual first date... its kinda silly."

"I must say... its probably cause many were jealous... "

"Hm?"

"Being with such a pretty tutor and spending a lot time with her... I feel I had many sharp gazes at me."

She twirled her hair a bit red.

"I am sorry for the obvious annoyances following me...I do hope they will stop now that I am in a relationship."

"Even then... I wouldn't mind dealing with them."

He put a hand firmly on hers scooting closer to her as if the calm her.

"I know... I feel good when I am with you, Trey. And not only cause of the treats."

He laughed slightly before looking into her eyes.

"I think there is something sweeter than my treats."

"And what would that be?" Her tone was teasing a little but she got caught of guard that he actually did lean forward to kiss her... she welcomed it however... it was a sweet taste... probably from baking earlier there was still some of the sugar lingering on his lips... with a blush she withdrew again.

"You are right... your kisses are almost addicting." She smiled softly.

"I can only give that back... but for now... lets enjoy this view a little."

The two set the food aside and looked up at the sky, as Carol snuggled in his embrace...

"I am glad... you decided to confess to me... I been having those feelings for a while but now... it feels like I am finally free... open to show you how often I thougth about hugging you like this."

He looked down at her in his arms and squeezed her tighter.

"And I don't mind if you want any more affections, I welcome them, my dear Apple."

It was just the rest she needed... just her... the soothing smell, the warmth of him holding her... this was all to forget her worries... her stress... she just felt happy. She could talk about her worries, her stress, share fun stories from tutoring.

Eventually the Sun was setting, the two packed their food in and rolled the blanket up.

"So shall I take you back or-"

"Actually...Trey, I want to still spend time with you... could we.... "

She put her fingers together as he put his hands on hers.

"I know a nice way to stroll around and chat. And I will bring you to your dorm too once we are done."

"Thank you so much."

"However~ What if we go to a Karaoke bar?"

"W-what makes you choose that?"

He smirked at her. "You friends told me you have a nice singing voice but are not confident in it."

"They are correct... so you do wanna hear it."

"The best way to face a worry is to confront it. So how about we do that."

"Okay... I will try then. Lead the way."

In the end... eventually the night passed and they both walked hand in hand to the Ramshackle dormitory... at the door step Carol turned around... her hair flowing with the wind of the night... as she put her hands on his shoulders...

"Can I get a good nights kiss, sweetcake?"

"Of couse."

With one lean down she wanted to take it all in... keep this mind in memory... get into bed with a good feeling.... she knew this was the start of something she would be looking forward to each day. Even if it meant having to deal with her bothersome students more. She was glad to have Trey at her side.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Missy teasing Clara yessssss, can't wait until Missy gets Clara all flustered at the teasing but also flustered because the reader is seeing her blush at being teased. One thing you don't have to add this in but if you make it smutty then feel free is I am such a whore for like, kisses on the soft skin of the inner thighs or like hickeys on their inner thighs, especially since it's in an area no one can see. I watched some Missy/Clara moments and in the Dalek tunnel Missy is bonkers as usual but the fact that Clara let Missy pin her against the wall like that when she says 'wheeeeeeee' is both hot and hilarious (I'm jealous of Missy for that). I'm also lowkey jealous of 11 when Clara faints in the doctor's timestream, not because of wanting to be carried by 11 but because of wanting to pick up Clara bridal style - if she was awake she would have totally blushed at what he did.

Yeah, literally all my friends think I have ADHD and also the emotional range of a teaspoon which ends up quite funny in conversations but my family would rather do anything than have a family member who is neurodivergent (or gay, for that matter, hence the closet)

Omg only child lore, also yes I had to Google what a Saltine was!! LOL

I don't trust streaming services either - I use Plex and host my own server anyway so I can have all my media locally!! Also...I've never heard of sweet tea it doesn't exist in tea-and-crumpet land as far as I'm aware. Speaking of Britishisms, the fact that you used the word 'telly' in the request prompt ask...I'm literally swooning for that story you do spoil me with your fabulous writings.

As for Wilderness, let me know when you watch it! I've decided I'm going to write a little fan script going back over Will and Liv's scene in the bar, and then Liv...lets just say shows Cara how she should be treated if you catch my drift, before being called back by the boys downstairs to make my own adaptions of that snapshot of the show.

The problem with that series is it assumes someone could cheat on Jenna Coleman which is impossible /j

Also I was thinking about Jasmine from Emmerdale and literally her personality she's so perfect I can't, like she always wears her heart on her sleeve and is ambitious and kind and also slightly ashamed of her sexuality which is like yours truly haha. I'm not saying she's a lesbian I don’t mean it like that I'm not invalidating bi-ness or whatever, but she (semi-spoilers) always seems to go after men who are way older, like, could be her Dad level of older, and I mean with the exception of one boy every other guy she dated was at least 10 years older. She was 19 dating a 37 year old and one of the guys she was with, they had a date, and she kept trying to interrupt their date to invite Debbie places with them. Even in the storylines when she was about 17, maybe it's just the way Jenna and Charley played it but from when I watched it you can tell Jasmine is crushing hard on Debbie, but Debbie (bless her, foster kid) often uses sex and love as a way to deal with her pain or keep people close and it becomes kinda evident in this one scene where Debbie wants them to sleep together but Jasmine isn't ready and they start to kiss, at Debbie's direction. They were interrupted so didn't sleep together but it was all pushed on by Debbie, or like when Jasmine wants to sing in the choir but doesn't because Debbie thinks its weird and wants to impress her, or lies about kissing her as a 'joke' because she really is into Debbie and doesn't want Debbie to think she's weird. Jasmine tries so hard to prove to herself she's not bisexual (or she thought she was a lesbian at the time) and that Debbie's just a friend that when a younger friend found her and Debbie and talked to Jasmine about the possibility of her being a lesbian, Jasmine goes and kisses Debbie's dad to 'prove' she's not, but Jasmine keeps pushing him off like she's disgusted at it. There is a moment where Debbie tries to get her daughter back and at just 19 years old Jasmine offers for the pair of them to raise Debbie's daughter together, which shows just how much Jasmine loves Debbie romantically and platonically. They do look like a proper couple in 2009 with the way they act, but I find it so stupid that they never explored anything to do with anything I've just mentioned e.g. Jasmine crushing harder on Debbie than the boys, or her taste in men possibly relating to being ditched by her parents. She definitely liked Jake, one of her boyfriends, so she's bi, but the way they wrote the whole thing is so bonkers - although, thats British soaps for you! Sorry for the really long yap, I'll get back to the other stuff now!!

Clara x Planetarium fic sounds so special 🥺 omg maybe Clara could fall asleep at the end of the day and the reader bridal carries her from the passenger seat of the car to her bed and then Clara asks the reader to sleep next to her or something that would be super cute idk just an idea!

Maybe it's just me, but those ideas from the prompts just flowed pretty easily! They all sounded very amusing and if you make any into proper fics I can't wait to read them!

Ugh I love Night In so much your writing is mwah chefs kiss, the bubblegu, the bralette, Clara getting all flustered and then in the mood, its perfect. And goodness me you wrote it very quickly! I love the idea of swapping clothes after..adult activites that you put in, especially if their scent is on the item omg perfect

Enjoy the Tumblrverse and sorry for the long yap!

- ⭐

I'll definitely add that in to the fic when I write it! and clara and missy had so much chemistry together honestly, I love shipping them and the doctor in a polycule because I think they work so well together (and I'd also love to carry a fainted clara but unfortunately I'm incredibly weak and couldn't)

I completely get the family thing, only my mom knows about me being queer and neurodivergent because she's pretty chill. although my grandparents recently found out about me going by aeron instead of my birth name (long story so I won't get into it) and my papa (my grandfather) was perfectly fine with it because he's always been cool about stuff like that. interestingly enough when I was talking about it with them at lunch the other day my nana (my grandma) said nothing, which is hilarious to me because that woman has an opinion on everything and everyone (she wasn't quite as fond I could tell)

honestly I had to google several british terms when I first started watching bbc sherlock/doctor who, but I think I'm pretty caught up on them for the most part. I know that you say chips instead of french fries and crisps instead of chips, and that you call vacations "going on a holiday", and I know that instead of calling it the subway you call it the tube, and instead of tv/television it's telly and instead of apartment it's flat and obviously instead of mom you say mum (I also know you guys refuse to travel longer than 45 minutes unless it's a holiday or event because everything's so close together?? which is so crazy to me because in the us everything is so spread out that people will drive longer than that just to go to work everyday. how does it feel to have everything within walking distance because I'm lowkey jealous haha)

ooh, nice! I just get a bunch of physical copies of media. I have nuwho ninth doctor through thirteenth doctor on dvd, I have all of bbc sherlock, all of nbc hannibal, the first five seasons of the vampire diaries, the first two season of gossip girl, all of house md... I have more and you probably don't know a lot of those shows but it's okay lmao, the point is I prefer to have physical media instead. and sweet tea is so good!! I don't know if you have a hardee's where you live but it's a popular fast food chain here (kind of like taco bell haha) and they make stuff like fried chicken and biscuits (not the cookie type that you're used to, though, american biscuits) and sweet tea. the food can be pretty greasy like most fast food here is but I'd recommend trying it at least once if you ever had the chance to. and thank you so much!! it really means a lot to me to know that someone who's actually british enjoys my writing that's fanfiction based off a british tv show

I'm always so bad when it comes to watching new shows because of my executive dysfunction but you've said so many good things about it I'm definitely going to have to watch it soon! and I completely get wanting to rewrite certain scenes to your liking, I'm sure your rendition of it will be great <3

again most men only cheat because they're insecure and feel threatened by being with women who are so beautiful, so they cheat as if they're trying to prove something to themselves, which usually only proves that they're a massive idiot (I really hope it doesn't sound like I'm mansplaining right now 😭 I'm not trying to I swear)

it's so crazy to me how you can have two characters that are the same gender who clearly have a deep and meaningful bond and are obviously soulmates but they never explore that possibility because god forbid things be gay for once 🙄 and the drama of emmerdale sounds so interesting I really need to check it out

that sounds so cute, I love that 🥹 it really makes me wish I was actually heavy enough to pick someone up to carry them bridal style but oh well, I can just pretend by writing it into my fics

I think my favorite one from the list might be the first one with river trying to control the tardis while being, shall we say distracted because she's usually so level headed and calm that the idea of her getting flustered at something is so funny to me. and thank you, you're so sweet 🥰

I have no clue how I was able to write it so quickly in all honesty, it just sort of started to flow through my creative juices and once I started writing I just couldn't stop. as usual I'm super glad to hear you enjoyed it! (I'm going to start working on the fics from the other prompt asks you sent me, so keep an eye out for those!!) I've been writing a lot recently, I'm not sure if you've seen the post I made with all my recent fics or just the fics themselves but I've been on a massive creative streak and I'm so proud of myself. I remembering at one point when I was struggling to get out even one fic each MONTH and now I'm getting out at least one every day

you're perfectly fine! I always love yapping with you <3 I hope you're doing well 💕

[nose-bandaid]

a hug per dollar

hello! it's me, the platonic anon from before... may i request a non-romantic, changgu & gender-neutral reader, coffee/study date? and maybe you could work in a reassuring hug 🥺 thank you so much 💛

Yeo One (Changgu) x (gender neutral) Reader | Platonic fluff + comfort?! | 1.8k words

synopsis: overworking can sometimes be an easy, but terrible habit to fall into, but luckily, changgu is there to drag you out when you do.

a/n: lol i think i projected this to have 1.2k but it ended up with 1.8 but i am not complaining !!!! to my dear platonic anon, sorry this took so long ksdhfkdsj i hope you enjoy it !! i may or may not have done an uno reverse on stud.hui.o fanatic because now it is the reader who's overworking BAM 💛

=====

"Don't you think we've been here for long enough?"

Your hand stopped writing the flurry of notes and you looked at your friend, who peered back at you over his laptop. "Changgu, it's literally only been..."

You flipped your phone over to look at the time on its display and faltered when you realized just how late into the day it was. "I guess we have been here for a while."

"Which is exactly why I think we should—"

"But I'm not ready to leave yet!" You snapped back, immediately backing off when you realized how harsh your voice was.

"You didn't get much sleep last night, did you?" He pressed on and you buried your face back into the piles of work laid in front of you.

"We don't talk about that either."

He let you be and the two of you went back to working in silence for the next while until Changgu eventually got up from his seat. Your eyes followed him as he stretched and let out a sigh. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

"Okay." You replied, and returned to your work.

=====

Not long after, a juice box slid into your view and you looked up at Changgu who returned after his bathroom break that took much longer than a usual bathroom break would've taken. You quirked an eyebrow in his direction.

"You got juice from the bathroom?"

He laughed and you took note of the other juice box in his hand — the exact same flavour as yours. "Of course I did. They added vending machines in the bathroom recently, didn't you know that?"

You decided to play along. "Is that so? No, I didn't know that. But do enlighten me as to why you would ever trust a vending machine located in the bathroom."

He laughed at your small jest. "Nah, I just went on an adventure to grab us some fuel." He dropped back into his seat and let out a relieved hum as he stared at his laptop. "After finishing that stupid essay I think I deserved the treat."

"You know, if you're done working you can always head back first. I'm fine on my own."

He shook his head adamantly at your offer. "This is our study session, you know? It's a we thing," he emphasized that with a point to the table. "So I'm not leaving until you're also done."

You sent him a small smile in appreciation and returned to your textbook, taking a small sip from the juice box as you did. It was refreshing and in the back of your mind, you wondered how he knew this was your favourite flavour. You didn't recall ever telling him.

"Though I think you've done more than enough work for today."

You didn't miss the next thing he muttered quietly.

"Look, Changgu, I'll just finish this chapter and we can call it today, okay?" You desperately held up a finger to assist in your pleading.

"One chapter and one chapter only." He reluctantly gave in, deciding to get a head start on another assignment in the meanwhile. Once again, you settled back into a comfortable silence, listening to the distant voices of others in the library.

You ended up finishing that chapter quicker than you initially thought you would and it flared up a new flame of determination within you. You could cram in a few more chapters then, right? You'll get them done in no time, especially with the flow you had now.

Agreeing with yourself, you got started right away.

You're pretty sure Changgu noticed when you flipped the page again.

And again.

And again.

Surely he's noticed the way you're slouched over a bit more now, the way your eyes were drooping and your gaze became unfocused. The way you've hardly touched the bag of snacks since he opened it. But you kept on going. Your determination knew no limits and you kept on going despite all the rational part of you that screamed at you to stop.

...Now, where did you leave off before you started daydreaming?

Right, at the end of this paragraph. You returned to staring at the mundane words in the textbook. You swore you were almost finished with this page but you also told yourself that what felt like hours ago. No matter how many times you read the same sentence over and over again, the words never seemed to stick in your mind. Your hand couldn't figure out what to write and what to leave out. All of it seemed important and you cursed the way your next exam weighed so much and yet gave you such vague preparation instructions. If only you had started studying earlier... but wasn't one week enough? Maybe you just weren't fit for this? Probably, because —

Changgu placed his hand onto yours. He gently pulled the pen out of your grasp and gestured for you to look at him.

"Let's take a break, you have no say in it. Seeing you like this makes me exhausted, I can't take this anymore."

No matter how many times you've drilled into your mind that it was absolutely not okay to take a break, the moment you heard the words from someone else, your composure crumbled.

You let out a deep sigh and let your weight rest on the table. "Yeah let's."

Changgu helped you pack your work away after cleaning up his own and waited until you were fully ready. When you slid the chair back to its former home, he held out a hand for you to take and you happily took a place by his side.

"Are you going to take me on another adventure?" You playfully asked, already feeling a little better now that your work was tucked away.

He shrugged. "Honestly, I had no clue where I was going to take you 'cause I didn't think you'd actually stop studying. But sure! Let's make this an adventure."

Stepping outside, you realized how much nicer it was to have a change of scenery. It was already late afternoon, the sun shining brightly above, engulfing you in a pleasant kind of warmth.

You sighed inwardly, this would've been more relaxing if your mind would just stop drifting back to all the work you still to be done. Hadn't you done enough? You worked so hard for the past who-knows-how-many-hours and yet it only left you unsatisfied and even more stressed.

Maybe it just wasn't enough.

A gentle bop on your head brought you out of your thoughts and you stared at Changgu, his hand still raised from bonking your bad thoughts away.

"Stop thinking so much." He crossed his arms and looked at you pointedly.

"Huh?"

Squinting his eyes, his face leaned into yours, getting closer and closer, and you found yourself edging away from the intrusion. Just as quickly as it started, he suddenly disappeared, straightening his back again and letting out a huff.

"Just as I thought."

"What?" You asked again, still lost.

"You're thinking bad things about yourself again! Stop that."

"How did you know?"

He playfully punched your shoulder at that. "I'm your best friend, you think I wouldn't notice these things? You always have this expression on your face when you're beating yourself up. Looks kinda stupid."

Your mouth gaped at his remark. "Hey!'

"I'm kidding, you never look stupid," he smiled and continued. "But what is stupid is you thinking that you're not good enough because you can't keep up with everything that's going on. Can you really blame yourself if some uncontrollable force decided to dump an unreasonable amount of work on you all at once? You're doing your best, which is one, really paying off because I swear you've covered like a billion chapters today. And two, is extremely cool — I heard the group studying behind us gush about how hard you were working and guess what?"

"...What?" You asked hesitantly, still trying to recover from your friend's spiel.

Changgu grabbed your shoulders to keep your attention. "I also think you're really really cool!!" He announced loudly, capturing the attention of a mother and her daughter nearby. They walked away after the initial surprise.

Your lip trembled, not even having it within you to be embarrassed by his public confession. Instead, you were overwhelmed by his kindness. "Changgu..."

He pulled you into a hug and you basked in his presence. The faint smell of fresh laundry lingered on his hoodie and you melted into his comfort. "You're doing great, and you'd be doing even better if you let yourself breathe for a moment. As overwhelming as it may feel, the only thing that's going to bring you down is yourself if you keep on going at this rate — not your work." He gently scolded before he pulled away and cupped your face, eyes boring into yours.

"Got that?"

You nodded hesitantly. "Yes."

"I don't know... that wasn't really convincing..."

You laughed lightly and pushed his hands away from you. "I got it, I got it, Changu. Thank you so much." You found yourself much more relaxed after your talk. "From studying with me to buying me snacks and comforting me... aargh, I appreciate it."

Changgu simply gave you a bright smile. "Anything for you."

That was all he said, but those 3 words were enough to express just how much you meant to each other.

"Besides, I don't think of it as a chore, any time spent with you is great."

You pouted. "You're too good for me, seriously. How can I make it up to you?"

In all honesty, you expected him to dismiss the question, but instead, Changgu's eyes wandered off as he placed a finger on his chin. "Well, I did notice that my favourite drink is on sale when I passed by that cafe on the way here..."

You sent him an amused look. "The juice wasn't enough?"

"Are you telling me to pass on a sale that takes a whole dollar off?"

Once again, you found yourself playing along with his act and your eyes widened. "Oh geez, you're right, we can't miss out on that." Pushing Changgu from behind, you ushered him forward. "Let's get moving! We spent so much time in the library the shop's going to close by the time we get there."

Changgu chuckled as you caught up and fell into step with his movements. "I'm glad to see that you're back to normal."

"And I'm glad we get to save a buck on overpriced drinks. Thanks for everything, Changgu." You swiftly replied and he sent a smile your way.

"Anytime."

Their age does not make any less strong, deku would adore to tote you around on his shoulder. Especially at places where you can't see/is a crowd. Suki doesn't what deku does but he does let you koala hold him through out the house, he doesn't mind

Suki would absolutely turn off his hearing aids when deku is muttering/rambling, that habit of his never went away. Causing you to lightly slap his chest because "that's rude katsuki!" Which he just rolls his eyes and says he's too old to worry about being nice to deku

Deku? Loosing his mind over you wearing deku themed lingerie? Absolutely. He knows it exists but to think you, his pretty baby, would go out of your way to surprise him with it? You're about to give the old man a heart attack

One way to rile suki up is by calling him DynaMight, no matter the cause. In bed and he's teasing you? The name will have him growling and pounding into you in a second. It plays into the same thing of telling someone they can't do it so they feel the need to do it even better? If you're hungry and want suki to make dinner just tell him "I guess DynaMight just isn't that good of a cook..."

They get slightly worried and insecure about the age gap despite you being an adult and able to make your own choices. Deku more so of, you could have someone younger who hasn't had the standing he has which puts a target on his and your back. For suki it's more along the lines of, he's not the nicest and for so long he's been told nobody wants him due to the way he presents himself and that a relationship with him wouldnt be worth the work it would take. Of course, their age comes into it. Especially if you mention their grey or things alike

But that doesn't mean that they don't want a relationship with you, they love it. It's not something they ever expected, to fall for someone who's the opposite of the lifestyle they've lived for so long. Someone so soft and who can look at the world and see the beauty in it, where they've been hardened and haunted by the things the world has thrown at them. They can't help it

Also please make them little doll versions of their hero costumes, despite the fact that there are probably mass manufactured ones they cherish them. You, their partner, made them because you wanted to. Not for profit or due to obsession. They keep them tucked away so nothing will happen to them, but still where they're able to see them. Suki grumbled about how he didn't need a doll but the moment you try to take it from him he's practically snapping at your hands. Growling that it's his and his alone dammit. Deku...well deku cried.

Also, if you think that your age and or their age will stop them from taking you to meet their parents? Very wrong. Inko doesn't care about your age, she's just happy her son finally found a good partner to be with. Mitsuki immediately sees her husband in you, softer to go with katsuki's still explosive temper. Neither of them mind the age gap, understanding that love can happen at any age, as it did with inko and toshinori.

Speaking of inko and toshinori, did you expect for them to not? Treat you like their own? This is where you being younger comes in with them. Inko is always trying to check up on you and make sure you're eating well, always saying you need to eat well when you're younger or it'll lead to issues in the future. Toshi is making sure you live in a secure area, saying that you're dating the top two pro hero's and people might come after you for it.

Any type of art you make is going to be placed around katsuki's barren looking house It's the few things that make his house look lived in, the slightest personal touch to the otherwise minimalist looking rooms. Deku allows him to take most of it but the pieces he really likes get placed in his own home. Which is much cozier them katsuki's, showing the difference in their personalities amazingly.

Deku bakes. Katsuki cooks. It's how it works. Suki loves to make enough so that you have lunch the next day, making sure it's something you'll enjoy while deku will absolutely spoil you with sweets. If he doesn't know your favorite sweet he will be looking for Several recipes to make his own, figuring out the common denominator between all of them and adjusting them to your tastes. Also please keep suki away from the hot sauce, his doctor begs you.

Katsuki would absolutely wear a chain with your initial on it, at all times. In bed, you can see it swinging and hitting his thick chest with a soft thunk. Barely able to hear it. He loves it. It's a constant reminder of you. He knows if he was his younger self, it would have never happened. Pride and ego too swollen to even think of something of the sorts. It was also kept a surprise

Meanwhile, deku would get a ring. He'd even let you pick it out, picking what one you loved and he thought would fit his everyday style. More then likely a silver ring. He might drift towards the gem forward ones. Eyeing a silver ring with a pretty emerald and a pretty orange sapphire, as well as a color that makes him think of you.

They'd both love showers with you. Not even sexually but just, so soft and almost domestic to them. Katsuki will practically purr when you wash his hair and add conditioner to it. You'd have to battle with him when he complains about his grey's and threatening to dye it to match the rest of his hair. Deku kinda looks at him when he does that because his grey blends while deku has d a r k green hair with grey. If anybody complaining it should be him

Deku is the one you go to when you want junk, he will go weak in the knees for puppy dog eyes and a little bit of a wobbly lip. He's always been a sucker for snacks and it's only gotten worse as he got older, getting tired of his strict diets and craving the greasy and fatty foods he isn't allowed to have usually

Oftentimes when you're sat on the couch with them, deku will have his arm around the back of the couch and allowing you to snuggle into his side while katsuki will take off his hearing aids and lay his head in your lap. Letting you scritch and stroke his hair on one side before rolling onto the other side to let you do it on that side.

🐻

Stop I’m so soft! These are too many feelings! I can’t have them all and oh gosh the jewelry bit! I love the idea of having things that remind you of each other always on your person so that was a nice unexpected touch.

And the arguments over grey hair and the low key art hordeing I just have to many feelings

[mister-lady]

Prompt: A moves into a new apartment and wants to check out the closest dog park. Their dog loves it there, especially that one dog that seems to be there almost every time they go. With their dogs being madly in love with each other, A and the other owner, B, are forced to spend more time together as well

Warnings: strong curse words used a minor amount. Very small angst.

----------------------------

Matt had moved into an apartment, hoping to build up some money for a home. He was living the life though, being able to do things when he wanted, without people complaining at him. However, Matt had gotten a little lonely so he did the best solution! He got a pet. Now, Matt normally wasn't a fan of dogs, mainly ones that barked a lot, but when he had been searching through the animal shelter and found a very peaceful dog. It was maybe around 1 year old and it was a small poneramium. Normally small dogs barked a lot but this one was fairly quiet and Matt liked it for that. He named his dog Siskel. Since an apparment was a small place Matt had searched up local dog parks he could take his dog to and let it play for a bit and get some exercise. Matt was unbelievably happy when his dog had found another dog friend! He thought they were adorable together and seemed to get along so well too! What he hated was the rat-bastard that owned the dog. You know how theres the couple in movies that want be together but the parents hate eachother? It was essentially that for Matt, but it was one-sided. The other person seemed to find Matt amusing, even though Matt had often showed that he didn't care much for him. Sometimes Matt would feel bad for the way he treated the person, he never gave him a true chance. But then the person would say something that made Matt stop feeling as guilty. The downfall for Matt was that he had scheduled days that he could go to the park where he had free time so it's not like he could ignore the other guy either. Plus, he would feel bad for depriving his puppy of it's friend just because Matt had been salty.

Matt had currently been sitting on a bench at the dog park and was keeping a close eye on Siskel. He made sure to keep his dog on a leash incase it did go to do soemthing bad, he could pull it back, plus, he didn't have to worry about Siskel running off either. Matt could tell just by the way his dog acted, that it was impatiently waiting for it's friend to arrive. Matt was trying to take it's mind off of waiting for it's friend and was throwing a pinecone for his dog. He would use a toy but if another dog came up who knew wheres its mouth had been? Siskel knew not to fully bite on the pinecone, but it would still bark at it and pretend to play with it. Matt couldn't help but smile as he watched. Though, poor Matthew's smile didn't last for long as he felt the same ol' guy sit next to him. Matt knew a little information about him, like his name and such, but only because he had told him like Matt had asked.

"Hey, Maaattttt!!" He chimed.

"Hi, Remus" Matt huffed.

Matt watched as the dogs quickly ran up to eachother and played with a pinecone together. It was very wholesome. However Matt casted a confused glance towards Remus, not understanding why he was so silent.

"You're quiet." Matt commented, while raising an eyebrow.

"I am?" Remus asked, as if he wasn't aware of what Matt was talking about.

"Yeah, normally you're rambling on about something that happened to you, or about how you poisoned your enemies cake or soemthing." Matt soon regretted speaking up, as he watched a very amused smile grow across Remus's face.

Remus gave Matt a very tight hug, causing Matt to squeak from alarm. Matt couldn't help but notice now warm Remus had felt and he could feel the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed.

"Wh-.. what?" Matt questioned.

"You do listen!!! I was always afraid you never listened to my stories!" Remus seemed to be bursting with excitement.

"Well, I mean I kinda have too, you tail me around against my will." Matt flatly pointed out.

"Pssshh, yeah cuase you don't like me. Totally"

"I hate you. And why are you still hugging me??"

Remus withdrew and let go of the hug. Matt could've sworn he thought Remus looked a little upset for a moment, but if he did it was quickly replaced by happiness.

"You knowwww... it took you a little while for you to tell me to stop hugging youuu" Remus teased.

"You're honestly the biggest idiot I know and it hurts to be around you."

"You can insult me all you want but it's not going to change the fact that you like my hugs!"

"You're a lunatic and burn down places. The last thing I want is your hugs."

"Is that why you let me hug you?"

"I didn't let you hug me! If I did I would've hugged back. But I didn't."

"You let me hug you and you listen to what I say? Mmmmm... I'm pretty sure you like me."

"I don't like you, I'm just that lonely."

"Most people that don't like me get a restraining order, so you must like me to some extent, right?" Remus gave Matt a puppy-eyed look.

Matt groaned in annoyance. "I just might if I have to sit here any longer."

"That's not a no~"

"And it's definitely not a yes."

"Well, it's not a no, so I'll take what I can get."

"You're a dunce."

"I still don't see why you hang out with me so much then."

"Hang?? Out?? I-? Me??- with yOu??-" Matt stumbled over his words in aghast. "Okay, I certainly don't, and would never, hang out with you, Remus. You come up to me. I deal with it because for some stupid reason my dog likes your dog, and I do what's good for my dog because I have a little bit of common sense."

Remus pouted at Matt's little tangent and crossed his arms. "Fine. I won't talk with you then. Maybe then you'll like me more."

Matt shook his head, "Why do you care so much for whether I like you or not?"

Remus only glared at him and didn't respond. Matt decided to take the opportunity of peace and quiet, however, as time started to pass, he felt like something was bugging him. Like he was itching to do soemthing and he didn't know what. Like something was...off. He gave Remus a curious glance, wondering if he had done something, but by the looks of it he was behaving like a decent human being. If that was the case, then what was bugging Matt?? He had gotten what he wished for, had he not? He subconsciously gave Remus an almost longing kind of look, and Remus met his gaze for a split second, only to look away. Matt couldn't help but fear a pang of hurt in his heart, only to be quickly filled with frustration at himself. Remus complete was the opposite of a normal, decent, and civilized person. All he did was annoy Matt, so why did Matt feel bad? He quickly answered his own question. Remus hadn't done anything bad directly towards Matt, and Matt had acted like a huge douche towards him for no reason. Matt felt his eyes water up a bit at the realization and quickly blinked it away. He felt terrible for the way he had acted.

"I'm sorry." Matt spoke, his voice cracking a little bit causing him to inwardly cringe.

Remus looked at him, but gave him a questioning look as if asking him to go on.

"I'm sorry for being a massive and terrible douche towards you. You hadn't done anything wrong, if anything, out of all the things you've told me about I should be lucky that you didn't do anything to me and I'm really, really, sorry and I know that doesn't really change anything but I completely understand if you don't forgive me, and honestly with the way I've treated you I probably don't deserve your forgiveness." Matt had gotten repeatedly choked up as he spoke and had to keep clearing his throat or blinking away the water in his eyes in a sad attempt to hide what he was feeling.

Remus eyes had widened in surprise. That was by far not what he had expected at all. He didn't expect too much of an appology especially from Matt, so the heart felt appology took him a few seconds to process.

"..Matt?" Remus spoke.

"Yea?"

"Can I hug you?"

Matt quickly nodded his head and felt his face twist as he felt a few tears go down his face agaisnt his will. He didn't realize all the weird feelings he had subconsciously bottled up, but as Remus tackled him into a hug, almost knocking him off the bench they had been sitting on, Matt couldn't help but sniffle a little bit. He felt the warmth from Remus engulf him again, and his mind drifted to how nice Remus's arms and hands had felt to be wrapped around him. Matt tried to calm down his sudden emotions and breathed a little more slowly, and slowly slithered his arms up and around Remus's back and rested his head on his shoulder.

"We never speak of this to anyone." Matt mumbled.

Remus giggled and nodded his head in agreement, causing Matt to laugh a little bit himself.

"I knew you always liked me a little bit." Remus teased.

How about a reaction where sf9 comes to America and they see you singing/dancing in a big fancy talent show. (They don't know you beforehand)

This was super interesting to write! I took some liberties with some members though, I hope you don’t mind^^

[SF9] Reaction to seeing you in a foreign talent show

Youngbin:

Indulging himself in the American lifestyle and culture, one thing he wants to experience while he’s there is watching a talent show live. So when he actually gets the chance to attend one, he is overjoyed and more excited than he thought he would be. Finding his seat in the middle of the studio, he can’t wait for everything to begin, and from start to finish he is amazed at everything that happens on stage. However, your powerful dancing catches his attention especially. He loses himself completely in your moves, memorizing them easily. When he returns to the hotel he searches for the song you danced to, and recreates your performance secretly, though he feels like he never gets it absolutely right. Wishing he could ask you to teach him what you did differently, he finally goes to sleep far too late that night, still having your performance play out before his inner eye as he drifts off to sleep.

Inseong:

When he tags along with Sanghyuk to go to a big talent show as part of the audience, he isn’t sure what to expect. Sure, he’s seen shows like these before, Korean as well as foreign shows, but he isn’t really invested in any of them. So when he gets there he’s all the more surprised how good all the candidates are (and secretly he’s thankful that the judges seem to be fair to all of them, because he knows what it feels like to be treated harshly as an artist). It isn’t until the last performance of the first round of stages though, that his breath gets taken away. But when he hears you sing he can’t but notice how good not only your technique is, but also your emotional expression. Liking the sound of your voice quite a bit, he can’t stop himself from thinking how he’d like to sing with you someday for just a moment.

Jaeyoon:

As he’s strolling through the streets of the city the boys are staying in for their next concert, he happens to stumble upon an audition for a talent show. Noticing the huge crowd that has formed around you, he notices your voice and feels himself being drawn to it. Watching you from one of the back rows he thinks back to his own audition, and comparing his skills back then with yours now, he must admit you sound a lot better than him years ago. When you finish your song and the crowd starts cheering, you spot him, one of your idols, among them, thinking your eyes are playing tricks on you. You’re told that you passed the audition and exiting the small stage, Jaeyoon approaches you to congratulate you and tell you that you did really well, before he continues his walk through town.

Dawon:

He’s been watching lots of English shows and series before starting their world tour, so he could practice his language skills because he wants to be able to communicate with Fantasy the best he can. He stumbled upon an American talent show and took an interest in some of the candidates, especially your performances kept impressing him. So when he was told that he could actually make it to the semifinale during SF9’s tour, he was excited. He goes there together with Inseong, and though he has to sit in the back because he was one of the last people to buy tickets, he’s enjoying himself. Then finally it’s your turn to hit the stage, and you manage to exceed all his expectations. He’s in awe while watching you, gaining motivation from you to give his very best on stage as well.

Zuho:

Searching for inspiration for his own music everywhere and anywhere he makes sure to always keep an ear open wherever he goes. So when he finds Seokwoo getting lost in watching clips of some foreign talent show on his day off and he hears your voice, his full attention is on the screen of his friend’s phone immediately. He’s been standing behind him, watching whatever his fellow member chooses for who knows how long, when Seokwoo finally decides to call him out on it.

“You like this?” he asks, and Juho nods, his eyes glued to your features. Since it’s a foreign show he knows his hopes are futile, but still there’s this spark you light up inside of him, and secretly he wishes he could someday write a song for someone with a voice like yours.

Rowoon:

When he comes home late at night from his busy schedule, he’ll always find something to watch on his phone before falling asleep. So somehow he finds your performance from a foreign talent show and falls a little bit in love with your graceful dancing. And when he realizes that for his next tour he’ll go to the city in which the show is hosted, he does everything in his power to get tickets to see you live.

Unfortunately by then you’re eliminated, however he still goes to watch the show and all candidates who made it into the live shows get to perform one song together as an opening. He can see that coordinating the singers and dancers and various other contestants for one big performance wasn’t easy, but he’s amazed at how well everything blends together. Though he must also admit that during those three minutes, he has eyes only for you.

Taeyang:

He’s taking a walk by himself around the city when he spots a filming crew, all huddled around you. The director gives instructions to you before everyone gets back into position and you start singing for the who knows how many-th time now. Inside you’re already a bit annoyed, but you try to keep a smiling face. When you hear the director yelling “cut!”, you sigh. You know this is just for a short clip for the talent show you’re participating in, but everyone wants it to be perfect. That’s when you see Taeyang clapping in the corner of your eye, a good distance away from you. He’s aware that he can’t interrupt the filming, but he hopes he can convey to you through his gestures and his smile just how impressed he is by your skills. You nod at him, taking encouragement from his actions, and thanks to his cheering for you from afar, you gain some patience and are able to finish the filming successfully.

Hwiyoung:

When Chani kinda forces him into watching a talent show together with him while they’re on tour outside of their country, he isn’t really interested at first. Sure, the performances are all decent, but he’d much rather go out and explore the city or work on his own music. That’s until you enter the stage. He can’t believe his ears when he hears you starting to rap the lyrics you wrote yourself, and though he doesn’t understand everything immediately, he can grasp the overall theme. 

Your performance crossing his mind quite a few times after that, he searches for it on the internet and finally finds it, studying the lyrics and being amazed at how similar your technique is to his. He finds himself writing lyrics with ease that night, inspired by you and how your performance swept him off his feet.

Chani:

He and the others are watching TV in the waiting room during the afternoon, but he’s the only one who seems to be really invested in it. So at some point he starts zapping, and gets stuck on an episode of what seems to be a talent show. The reason why he can’t bring himself to change channels again is because he sees your performance and your dance skills mesmerize him. He calls over Youngbin and Youngkyun to show them how well you dance, and his hyungs can’t but agree with him. 

“Can I vote for her? I can, right?” he mumbles to himself as he reaches for his phone and Youngbin warns him that the charges might be too high. But his warning bounces off Chani’s ears, all he can think about in this moment is you and how well you danced.

Nancy & Rio

Nancy: This is just Rio: Only 'cos I'm dying to hear your suggestions now Nancy: Don't make me laugh right now Rio: Soz again Rio: I promise I'm never going to come to you with the kinda info that'll have you wishing you were deaf Rio: Never have, 'cos ew boys, yeah? Nancy: I was literally gonna say Nancy: I'm too gay for that whoever it is Rio: Exactly Rio: I know it's going to be weird for a while for all the other reasons but aside from that, just another straight boy right Nancy: Yeah Nancy: Some of your exes have been even bigger pricks too, but don't tell him I said that Nancy: He'll take it as a trade up Rio: My lips are sealed Rio: Though if anyone's trying to deny that then they got bigger problems Nancy: I can't believe you've used those lips on him after how the first time went Nancy: I'm dead here Rio: He was like, what, 9 Rio: Again, the eternal optimist Rio: but hardly with how much he bragged on all his practice so Nancy: Don't Rio: My bad Nancy: Did you like him then? Nancy: When he was 9 I mean, not when he was bragging Rio: I mean Rio: Not to the degree we've been keeping the secret that long Rio: I guess I had a crush on him Rio: pass you the sick bucket, like Nancy: Lord Nancy: I know he did on you, he told me Nancy: Unprompted, which is another level of gross, thank you Nancy: It's like he was in the closet over this in place of me ever being Nancy: So dramatic, like Rio: I'll save my 'cute' for him, don't worry Rio: well you know, do anything for you, like Nancy: Can I come and see you? Nancy: Like I know it's gonna be so awkward in person probably and I wanna get it over with so we can just Rio: Of course Rio: I'd like that Nancy: I miss you Nancy: Even if you do have rubbish taste in boys Rio: I miss you too Rio: all of you Rio: but I don't miss being there, you know Nancy: I get it Nancy: I feel the same about London Rio: Yeah Rio: I thought you would Nancy: I know it's Drew and I really shouldn't expect him to be anything other than the worst but I can't believe he outed you like that Nancy: So fucked up Rio: Yeah, I really hoped he wouldn't but Rio: guess he had no reason not to now Nancy: But like did he ever? I don't understand why he waited Nancy: It must've given you so much false hope that he'd actually keep his mouth shut Nancy: That's cruel Rio: I guess 'cos he wanted to fuck me himself Rio: put it bluntly Rio: couldn't really be talking shit and doing it at the same time Nancy: That makes sense but why not tell everyone after the baby shower, you know Rio: Yeah, I don't know you know Rio: Buster reckoned maybe he was trying to keep Indie on-side a bit but Rio: that worked well for him Nancy: I don't want my brother to be right about anything right now but Nancy: Could be true, I guess Rio: Kinda makes sense Rio: or he just wanted to fuck with us with false hope and sense of security, like you said Rio: Idk, but I'm relieved in a way, like you said, when would ever be the 'right' moment? Nancy: I can relate, obviously not exactly Nancy: But when I finally kissed Sian after wanting to for such a long time it was like Nancy: Not the best example considering what happened after though Nancy: Try not to crash and burn, like Rio: Noted Rio: At least you had the balls to, good idea or not Rio: decidedly not but Rio: maybe we'd have never done it without being forced, idk Nancy: Buster would Nancy: It was obvious how much he wants to be with you Nancy: Gross too but Rio: Yeah Rio: I lowkey stopped him a few times but pretend I didn't admit that he'd only be annoying Nancy: Of course Nancy: I get it now, why he trashed his room that day Nancy: I never did get the real story out of him but it makes so much sense now Rio: That was more about the Chloe thing Nancy: Yeah? Nancy: Oh so he wasn't lying Rio: Don't sound too shocked Nancy: Compared to earlier I'm positively zen Rio: Ha, I have that affect Nancy: You calmed him down that day, didn't you? Nancy: Oh god Nancy: I'm gonna go ahead and repress Rio: Unless you wanna rephrase, probably for the best Nancy: I need you to tell me the safe zones of both our houses so I can exist in there only Nancy: But I also don't wanna know Rio: ... Rio: I dunno if you want me to stay silent or if that says too much Nancy: Please tell me my room was off limits Nancy: I will die Rio: Of course Rio: Not a total animal Nancy: I'm too relieved to argue the pros and cons of what you just said so Rio: 🤐 Nancy: There is one thing I HAVE to ask though Rio: Go on Rio: Slightly concerned but Nancy: Don't worry I'm rolling my eyes at myself Nancy: But be nice to him, yeah? 'Cause I can't but like he's never been in love before Rio: I promise Nancy: He acts tough but I could take him easily Nancy: Especially with things like this Rio: I know Rio: let's not start singing no stranger to heartache though, yeah? Nancy: All I'm saying is, if what happened to me happened to him there'd be nobody left alive Nancy: He's the most dramatic McKenna there is Nancy: Worse than dad and nan put together Rio: I mean, not gonna argue Rio: you are handling it really well, you know Rio: even if you still feel the same mess now as you did then, it doesn't show Nancy: You're the only person who's said anything close to that to me Nancy: So thanks Rio: This family is just shit at talking to each other Rio: not coming for them 'cos well Nancy: I feel like mum is never gonna look at me like she used to Nancy: not to come for Buster's dramatic flair but Rio: I know Rio: She will, she's pretty good Rio: Assume Buster told you she worked it out Nancy: Yeah Nancy: I'd be more shocked if she hadn't 'cause of course Nancy: It's just she's never treated me like I'm stupid before, you know, not with the dyslexia stuff or any of it, but that was before this Rio: Feelings aren't logical though Rio: I reckon she's stinging that SHE didn't know, you know Rio: not for the 'I told you so' or anything but so she could've helped you deal Nancy: I don't know whether to be flattered or horrified that I'm better at keeping secrets than you and him combined Rio: Using all that closet angst you never got to, obviously Nancy: Which reminds me, I can't help wishing Chloe knew about this 'cause of how angry she'd be Rio: I have good news Nancy: REALLY? Nancy: did everyone know but me or what, like? Rio: awks 😬 Rio: but no, her obsession worked to her advantage and she was able to piece together us being at the same place enough times Nancy: Her and mum getting jackets now Nancy: Sorry Drew you missed your chance Rio: Honestly Rio: He did not put the effort in Rio: won't tell you the full deets 'cos you won't wanna know Nancy: umm? Rio: We'll leave it at he may as well have walked in it was that blatant Nancy: OH Nancy: oh my god have you and him ever....when I was there? Rio: Gurl Rio: don't ask Nancy: RIO I KNOW THAT MEANS YES Rio: Shh Nancy: That's despicable Rio: Well that's a bit steep Rio: it's hardly a war crime Nancy: I'm calling it a hate crime Nancy: I can Nancy: I'm gay Rio: 😂 Rio: You clearly didn't hear anything so count yourself lucky Nancy: Please I just assumed it was another posh blonde if I did Nancy: Been there, done my best to ignore that Rio: With this accent? I think not Rio: I was stealth Nancy: I didn't have a glass to the wall sounding out how you said vowels Rio: Trust, you'd know Nancy: CAN YOU NOT Rio: You brought it up! Rio: I'm not trying air my business or his Nancy: I have to go find some ground to swallow me brb Rio: 😏 okay babe Nancy: how is that a euphemism? Rio: idk, your mind, honestly woman Nancy: can you at least promise to keep your hands off each other when I visit or not? Rio: We managed this far, I think we'll be fine Rio: not PDA all the way from here on out, like Nancy: Okay Rio: Thanks, Nance Nancy: For what? Rio: For still being normal with me Nancy: If it was abnormal to fancy Buster I'd be too busy judging half the female population to even speak to you Nancy: Besides, I'm saving my big reinvention for when uni starts, like you said Rio: Yeah? Is that warning me to expect my shade and silent treatment in the post, like? Nancy: Maybe Nancy: Depends what you do between now and then Nancy: You can't see my hair flip but its happening Rio: Oh God, don't become Chloe, like Rio: a misstep if ever there was one Nancy: 😱 Rio: You know, don't be THAT mad I'm with Buster, not goals Nancy: Wash your mouth out Rio: I'm sorry but you never gave me a codename Nancy: That Prick ™️ Nancy: But I meant the comparison between me and her Nancy: That was a deep cut Rio: Yeah, she wishes Nancy: If she tries to date me next just know I predicted it Rio: I'll pray for you Nancy: Such an unholy union what else is there to do? Nancy: I love you but I'm not taking the heat off you that way, like Rio: Not to be that bitch but Rio: kinda owe me twofold now so Rio: tick tock Nancy: BITCH NO Nancy: I also draw the line at boudoir photography Rio: Damn 😂 Nancy: I'll recommend you someone Nancy: They won't be as good obviously Rio: 'Course not Rio: I know my own angles, it's cool Nancy: And nobody loves himself more than him so he's bound to as well Rio: I mean, his feed is pretty poppin' Nancy: 🙄 Rio: 😂 that was just a normal compliment Nancy: How did I not know you're so disgustingly in love? My god Rio: Gay drama, probably Nancy: Sad but true Rio: At least you've got an excuse Rio: everyone else needs a word Nancy: Honestly Rio: Though I'm cool with most of mine skillfully avoiding 'cos I don't need to do this 10x over Nancy: oh no Nancy: imagine Rio: Lucky only some of them are highkey Rio: that's enough Nancy: Yeah Nancy: not that I can say anything 'cause about to excuse myself to cry over my brother having a girlfriend when I don't Rio: Awh babe Rio: wanna hit the town when you come? Nancy: To drink, definitely Nancy: anything else with my track record is a no Rio: Your track record of 1 1/2? Rio: Come to me when you've got at least half a dozen failures, like Nancy: You don't think that's enough mistakes to be making? Rio: Nah Rio: Need I remind you your track record with drinking is not flawless either Rio: but you gotta live, babe Nancy: I'm scared, okay? Rio: That's alright Rio: they won't bite 'less you ask Nancy: 😂 Nancy: What if I'm not ready, I don't wanna fuck anyone over again Rio: It's just the club Rio: harmless, meaningless flirting is the standard Nancy: Yeah? Nancy: Will you actually come with me? Rio: 'Course Nancy: Despite Buster's coffee shop masterclass, which feels like a million years ago anyway, I don't really know what I'm doing Rio: I can show you Rio: but you gotta do it how you would, you know, you can't go too hard with an act Nancy: 🙈 Rio: It'll be fun, been ages since I flirted with a girl Nancy: Don't tell my brother that he'll get bored 😂🙄 Nancy: Help me though I need it Rio: No danger, trust Rio: I will, bring outfit options Nancy: Obviously Nancy: When are we doing this? Nancy: In typical lesbian fashion I need to angst for like 4 years prior Rio: Whenever you can get over Rio: I work most nights but I've got plenty time banked so it won't hurt Nancy: Let's make it happen soon Nancy: Everyone's doing my head in here Rio: Whenever you want, babe Rio: your brother is only as busy as usual so Nancy: Is next weekend too highkey? Rio: Nah, sounds good to me Nancy: Okay Nancy: Anything 🍀 you're missing let me know and I'll pack that too Rio: Just some decent tea, tah Nancy: That ain't even London that's just our house Nancy: Full offense mum Rio: 😂 the real beef comes out Nancy: You missed a chance to say the real tea Nancy: Come on Rio: Damn Rio: really let myself down, like Nancy: mhmm Rio: Ah well, what can ya do Nancy: Do you think if I ask your mum to cat sit while I'm there I'll ever see her again? Rio: Your Ma or the cat? Nancy: Either or Rio: I don't think she's that cold Rio: but one of mine would defs go in and give her TLC Rio: the cat, that is Nancy: 😂 Nancy: I'll text you when my flight's booked then Rio: 👍 See you then babe Nancy: Until then, remember I loved you first 💋 Rio: 😂 Love you too silly bitch
