sooooo, in lieu of the kny x oishii milk collab that's happening now, seeing kyo posing with the familiar packaging sparked a milky memory from a few years back ( ´ ▿ ` )
leafie's story time under the cut 🤭��
i was visiting jpn for the first time near the end of winter and the early beginnings of spring 2018 (so around late jan to early feb), and i've heard good things about japanese milk right
so first thing i did after landing in japan and checking into the hotel, i went to buy some milk from the konbini—first one i went to was family mart.
i got the oishii brand milk (true to its name, it's super tasty and i miss it every time i want to drink milk)
and you'd think that i would drink it immediately after buying it bc i was so excited to try it—but i had the brightest idea of drinking it after i took a shower. yknow, like how i saw them do in some animes (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
so i popped the milk in the fridge and went to take a hot bath
now, i'm a very forgetful person, and if it's out of sight, it's literally out of my mind (⇀ ↼‶) truly gone like my mans who left to buy milk from the milkstore and never came back jkjk
after my shower, i decided to look up places to go the next day and started making some plans with my family. then i went to sleep bc the eight hour flight had me tuckered out—man, it was lights out as soon as my head hit the pillow xDDDDD
i had a great night of sleep, all while my milk sat forgotten in the fridge 😅😅
and so you might think, okay well, surely you drank it when you remembered it the next day after another hot shower, right?
no
we had to check out of the hotel the next morning bc the actual hotel we were gonna stay at was further from the airport and closer to town
my milk was left behind in the fridge, unopened and forgotten 🥲🥲 (sometimes i wonder if the hotel staff found my milk and drank it themselves, but i doubt they would—bc common sense tells you it's extremely dumb and reckless to be drinking something that someone else left behind even though it looks like it's never been opened, bc there's always a chance that it's been tampered with)
anyway, sentiments for my forgotten milk aside, of course i have brilliant memory and remembered it only after we had checked out of the hotel and were halfway on the train to the next hotel (눈_눈)
i cursed myself for letting my milk slip away from me—but no matter, i can always get more today, or so i thought
so, when my parents were busy checking us into the second hotel, i went off to get another oishii milk packet from another konbini—this time i went to lawsons
and this time, i was determined to remember to drink it, but i was also stubborn and still wanted to drink it after i took a hot bath
obviously, i could've just bought two so i could just drink one now, and then the other after my bath later, right?
no
leafie is dumb and stubborn (not a great combi, let's be honest), so please keep that in mind as you enjoy the rest of this silly memory xD
and it was around noon, i think? or early afternoon when we got our rooms—and it was the perfect time for exploring town, so i tossed the milk into the fridge and left to akiba
believe it or not, all the excitement i had for the milk was gone bc i was busy being even more excited (ง ื▿ ื)ว about getting to explore akiba and harajuku (but regrettably, i was travelling with family, so i could only glance at the entire troves of bl mangas and doujins longingly for a whole 1.5 seconds bc it would be suspicious if i stared too long (ノ_<。)ヾ(´▽` )
but i digress, anyway—the sun sets so early in japan, like woah, it got dark so soon and most of the restaurants were closed when we were finally to eat (and while i am a foodie at heart, i somehow don't get hungry at all while i'm travelling ( ´ ▿ ` )), so we just grabbed a quick bento from the konbini and passed out on our beds soon after we got back to the hotel
side note: the orange juice from family mart is so so so so so so fresh and good omg, i miss it almost as much as i miss the milk tbh
so day 2 passed just like that, with a day well spent and feet well walked, and wallet slightly lighter than when i left the hotel that day (my coin purse grew heavier though, as i collected the loose change from breaking 1000 yen bills)
then come day 3—i was going to be in japan for slightly over a week, 9 days; so you might think, oh c'mon leafie, surely that's plenty of days for you to drink your goddamn milk!
again, no
day 3 was harajuku day, and boy was it raining when we got there
wearing two fuzzy jackets and two shirts were, understandably, quite a lot of layers when you're gonna be walking around a lot, plus the humidity from the rain and my tendency to sweat buckets—you can imagine that i looked like a wet rat that had just crawled out from the sewers x'DDD
my bangs were plastered across my forehead, i looked like a mess, and i wasn't used to the weather (i live in a tropical country where its either sun or rain xD), sweaty inside but cold outside :(((
but then it snowed a little at night!! though it wasn't like big big snowfall where you had fluffy snow everywhere, it was my first snow!! and it was fun just watching little ❄️ snowflakes ❄️ drifting down from the skies under the dim streetlamp
i'm sure you can already guess—i was too engrossed with the snow to remember my milk, all alone in the fridge
but i went to bed happy that night ��️☺️
and then day 4 was... well, we don't talk about day 4, my family had a little argument bc some wanted to go back to harajuku for more shopping and some wanted to see new places
in the end, we went to the aquariums to see the fishies! took a few pics with the uhhh, bug looking creature that lives at the bottom of the ocean
it's a bit unsettling, but it was cute nonetheless
i sort of wish that i bought the stuffed toy version from the gift store tbh—i got a seal instead
this is starting to be more about the trip than the story about me forgetting my milk, so let's reel it back in and skip to day 9, the final day of my trip
note that i STILL haven't drank my milk despite having had 8 other days to do so 🤦🤦🤦
the return flight was in the evening, but we had to check out of the hotel at noon, so basically we spent the rest of the day at haneda airport
i had just reached the airport when i realised that yet again!!! i had forgotten my milk, left it in the fridge of the hotel and then checked out _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_
knowing that this was really my final chance to taste the milk, i ran to the konbini and bought the milk for the third time now, and this time! this time!!! i drank it straight away
andit was so good!!! so tasty, ive never had a milk so good before in my life—really made me regret not drinking it earlier—i could've had one for each day i was there!!!!! but nooooo, i just had to be stubborn and forgetful hahahahhahaha (눈_눈)
and that's the end of my little milky story
so guys, if you want to drink the milk, just do it! (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b
don't be me and say that it has to be done in the perfect manner bc you will miss that opportunity xD or almost miss it, really

D: imagine kentas shedding the white cloak and trousers bc of bad connotations and feeling betrayed by his ppl, so he starts wearing other things. i'm amusing myself with tight jeans, but they wouldn't do well in a fight, pfft. maybe he was poking in m21's closet and found his trenchcoat? Madame aZure: YAASSSS Kentas trying to wear M's clothes, prolly stretching them with his buff so M has to begrudgingly buy him clothes Madame aZure: and Kentas would prolly be soo //sparkly sparkly// at M giving him gifts D: haha D: i think the trenchcoat was loose on m21, and kentas might not feel like buttoning it up anyway, haha. it'd make it easier to do the 'rip top off' thing if he kept it open Madame aZure: just the trenchcoat? nothing else? D: though then kentas is essentially walking around like early!muzaka with JUST a coat on... D: so then m21 has to buy him a shirt/top to put underneath D: but kentas doesn't want to wear it, bc it's too tight to pull off and the ENTIRE POINT is his clothes has to come off easily D: if tao overhears this conversation, he's going to die, bc he'll think they're talking abt sex or something, pfft
Conversation is 900 words long, so the rest is under a cut. 8′D
D: 'are you sure?' 'i HAVE to make sure my clothes come off as easily as possible! you should too! you never know you need to take them off' Madame aZure: pff trueee XD Madame aZure: BWAHAHAHAHAHAH Tao would be dying hearing that D: 'how fast can you take your clothes off?' 'uh' //sigh// 'come on, we'll do it right now' Madame aZure: BWAHAHAHAHA XDDDDD Tao giving M that look and being like 'Soooo, when do we meet him?' D: ' now ?' 'yeah, now. it'll be quick. ...should be quick anyway. depends on how fast you are. we can keep doing it until you're better at it' Madame aZure: PFFFF AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA XDDDD D: tao could just be like 'oh, you're going training ?' //waggles eyebrows// when m21 says he's going to meet kentas, pfft m-21's just like '......yes?' D: 'lots of loose fitting clothes, huh' '//sigh// 'yeah, kentas insisted' //TAO CONTINUES TO DIE// D: esp when m21 complains of sore muscles afterwards? and his clothes are probably dirty even after he took them off. bc there was much rolling around. yes, of course Madame aZure: pffff XDD M being all so innocent about it and Tao constantly dying D: yuuuup Madame aZure: oh boy, Kentas inviting Tao and Takeo to train with him and M D: YEEEEEP XDD Madame aZure: 'All four of us?' 'Yes, what's wrong with that?' D: 'oh, i wasn't expecting - i thought it was just...the two of you.' //shrug// 'kentas has been wanting to do it with you for a while' 'he has??' 'yeah. he's been interested since i started talking abt you' 'you did??' '...you thought i wouldn't?' Madame aZure: OMGGG the misunderstanding is glorious XDDDD Madame aZure: 'Yeah, I told him you and Takeo were really good at it, so he's been interested in you two' D: PFFFFFT D: 'how did you know??' //stares at// Madame aZure: 'uh, I've seen you?' D: 'you saw me and takeo have sex??' '...................................wat' 'what?' 'what's sex got to do with this?' 'everything' 'wat' Madame aZure: 'You just invited us to have a foursome with you and Kentas!' 'wut?' D: '...a fourway fight, yeah. but i think kentas prefers one-on-one. ..............no sex involved. how did you even get to that thought' //except it's tao so it could be anything 'he kept talking abt how fast you had to get your clothes off! to take them off at a moments notice for a quickie!' //SLOWLY GOING RED FROM THE REALISATION// 'that's how werewolves fight ' 'i've seen werewolves fight! they aint doin' it naked!' Madame aZure: 'We're not fighting naked, we're just taking off our tops' //werewolf tradition and all that jazz// 'Sure, sure' D: 'come with us and you'll see' //omfg, tao, how. whyyyyy// D: ((of course, kentas has actually been desperately flirting with m21 the entire time, but m21 hasn't been picking up. kentas is ALSO a training dork, so would totally invite t2 to train. but he also needs advice on how to flirt human-style/in a way m21 picks up, so pls halp, friends of m21)) Madame aZure: awwww, Kentas :') M and Kentas going out on a human date and Kentas being all //sparkly sparkly// at all the human things M knows D: d'aawwww Madame aZure: Kentas watching the couples around them and trying to mimic the things they do D: pffffft. could possibly go badly, but awww. XD; Madame aZure: Kentas seeing some guy give some girl roses, so he straight up goes to the flowershop like 'Can I trade a boar for the red flower thing?' D: nah, he'd go find them off in the wild himself than buy them, haha 8D Madame aZure: yeah, but that's not how he's seen humans do, and he's trying to woo M the human way because M doesn't respond to him wooing the werewolf way 'I growled at him 'good fight' and he didn't answer me with a growl ;-;' D: AWWWWW Madame aZure: oh shiet, Kentas watching romantic movies with Tao so he learns how humans date D: i was gonna be like WORST IDEA EVER, but then considering who else is in the house, they're not going to get much good 'normal' answers. esp if the only other human options are takeo and frankenstein... Madame aZure: Franken would be like 'steal his shirt' XD D: hey, if kentas gets it, it'll actually survive longer than if m21 kept it >_> Madame aZure: pfff Kentas taking it literally and trying to take off M's shirt ... then Tao catches them and dies a little again D: pFFT

Gonna preface this one with a note about how we’ve done a couple plot ideas where Jack and Gabe adopt a daughter and they have a cat named Bunny. The cat in particular comes into play here, and there’s a bit of angst throughout, getting stronger toward the end. File name for this one is ‘Jack clings to ghosts.’
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 okay, but, 76 always making sure to have some food for the stray cats around the places he stays. he never names any of them, 'cause he knows he'd call them bunny or rabbit or something
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 QOQ there's one in particular that reminds him of bunny though, painfully so, and he ends up accidentally favoring her To the point where she follows him home and won't leave
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 oh noes!! ; ; she keeps insisting on curling up to sleep with him the warmth and purring as he's sleeping cause him to dream about the past
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 QOQ he usually sleeps on his side with his legs curled up and she likes to sleep either nestled between his chin and his chest or behind his knees sometimes she'll even settle behind his neck He'll wake up to her meowing and demanding breakfast and for a moment it's so much like how it used to be that it's disorienting
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 one morning, he woke up thinking he could feel Gabe's scratchy beard against the back of his neck, and the warmth of soft kisses...turns out the cat was licking him
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 qoq he rolls over and pulls her into his chest, needing something to ground him for a moment
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 ;n;
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 It's embarrassing, but sometimes the only thing that keeps him motivated to survive is thinking about what would happen to his cat if he didn't make it
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 orz
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 She really enjoys his jacket Along with marks from bullets and blades and other wear and tear are a few claw marks from where she kneaded it They're mostly on the inside, tearing up the lining
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 which means he walks around with a cat tucked into his jacket -^^-
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 OMG he isn't very good at sewing but he remembers a few things from Gabe and installs a huge messy inside pocket for her to hide in
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 omg <3
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 before he knows it, this cat has become the cornerstone of this new life of his
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 oh god jack
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 he needs SOMETHING to hold onto and it's all too easy to invest himself in this tiny creature that depends on him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 ;;
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 omg he has an encounter with reaper when he wasn't expecting it. He gets caught off guard and ends up against a wall with reaper's hands around his throat. And then his cat pokes her furry little head out of his jacket and reaper stares
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff reaper you can't kill him in front of his bby
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 reaper that would be too cruel she sniffs at him and, apparently unaware of the danger, starts purring in the hopes of getting pets from this new person XD She is a very trusting kitty
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 omg reaper calls her bunny and that's how jack figures out who he is XD
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 LOLL Gabe awkwardly shows up at Jack's safe house wanting to play with the cat LMAO
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 X'''''''''''D they re-bond over the damn thing Jack keeps scolding him for calling it Bunny II they get jealous over who it pays more attention to Gabe complains about Jack's sewing and fixes his jacket with a better cat pocket
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 AWWWWW Jack takes a nap and the cat of course joins him and Gabe's cold dead heart utterly melts
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 omg. he lays down with them JUST TO BE NEAR THE CAT GODDAMMIT and falls asleep on accident
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 AHAHAHA THE CAT WAS DOING THAT SWEET SLOW BLINK AND PURRING IN INVITATION AND HE COULDN'T RESIST HER she is very happy curled up between them
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 heehee got them wrapped around her little paw
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 >w< Gabe wakes up to the cat licking his face and Jack's wide-eyed stare
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 it's either panic or play it off, so he just grumbles 'when's breakfast, honey?' it backfires. he'd never called Jack honey before, ever. Jack shoots up off the bed and out of the room so fast that Gabe nearly misses the look on his face. Nearly being the keyword. His own heart constricts, and he feels a bit sick over how badly Jack took his little joke.
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 QOQ SKSNDKSNA the cat startles upright and starts licking her fur down, looking pointedly annoyed at being disturbed Gabe buries his face in her fur and groans
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 nothing with jack is ever fucking EASY
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 Goddammit jack The cat comes wandering out to where Jack's angrily staring into his slowly filling coffee pot and hops up on the counter to nuzzle his face he wants to be mad at her but he can't
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 at least the cat loves you, jack
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 ((i mean, she doesn't, she just wants food, but))
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 XDDDDD MEAN
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 X'D
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 Gabe looks decidedly guilty when he finally exits the bedroom Jack snaps at him "get out of my safe house and get your own cat"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 ;; is this one of those times where we can fix it, or not yet?
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 idk mmmm qoq maybe Gabe leaves for the moment but he comes back a few days later with his own kitty XDD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 XD
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 shrugs and says "well I got my own cat but I couldn't find a safe house so"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 THAT'S JUST GONNA MAKE HIM MADDER!
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 IT WON'T LET ME CHANGE CAR TO CAT I'M DYING LET ME LIVE DISCORD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 what if Gabe just hip checks Jack out of the way, and is all 'move over. i was always the better cook.' 'I'm not kidding, Reaper, I want you gone!' 'I'm not awake enough to fight. Let me make us breakfast first, Sunshine. We can kill each other later.'
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 Awwwwww Sweetpeas Gabe ignores Jack's next protests and lectures the cat on getting the counter (and subsequently their food) covered in cat hair
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 Gabe knows Jack will behave once food is served 'cause he was always really strict about table manners it's almost eerie how that stuck
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 Gabe slips the cat food under the table and Jack glares jack keeps trying to kick gabe out but the cat keeps getting in the way bc she Loves gabe and he can't kick her out too!!
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 XD jack. you're losing to a cat. YOU HAVE LOST CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 for example he has gabe sleep on the couch and takes the cat with him to bed and shuts the door but as soon as he settles into bed she hops up and starts meowing and pawing at the door so he lets her out and shuts the door and she goes to snuggle up w gabe
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 oh no! XD
firesonic152 - 08/01/2017 but then after like an hour she starts meowing again bc she wants to cuddle w jack now!! she just wants to cuddle w both of them but these stupid humans keep making it difficult!!!!
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/01/2017 XD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 omg. what if jack just gets too fed up to deal with his EMOTIONAL ISSUES and is finally just 'You know what, just take the safe house and take the cat! you fucking win! i'll find someplace else to hole up!' and storms out. and at first Gabe figures whatever, this'll make things easier, but the cat keeps bothering him until he finally tucks it into his coat and goes to look for Jack.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 AWWW has jack fucked off to a bar to drink his problems away bc i will be sad
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 i just figured gabe would find his sorry ass in a leaky hovel, miserable and halfway to catching cold. but drunk works too. he snaps at Gabe that he doesn't want to keep playing house with him
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 BOTH he grabbed some alcohol and then ended up in the hovel qoq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 jack you sad sorry mess of a human being just go talk things out with your husband
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 SERIOUSLY the cat hops out of gabe's coat and curls up in jack's lap and jack makes a weird breathy hiccuping sound that is suspiciously similar to a sob
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 ; ;
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 he pets her head with surprising gentleness, shaking his head. he hasn't looked gabe in the face once. gabe kneels down and hesitates, then tentatively reaches out to place his hand over jack's. he takes his time, gives jack plenty of opportunity to move away, but jack doesn't take it.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 :eyes: does he softly ask Jack to come home???
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 YES the kitty licks away the not-tears on jack's face and he gives a stunted little laugh. "goddammit," he grumbles. "still can't say no to you." he's looking at the cat as he says it, but gabe wonders if it might have also been directed at him.
jack finally looks up and takes a breath, then nods. he carefully places the cat in his inside pocket, stands, and he and gabe walk silently back.
WAIT BETTER
gabe stands and offers jack his hand jack takes it but doesn't let go once he's vertical and they walk back holding hands qwq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 ;u;
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 >w<
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 OKAY SO LAST NIGHT YOU SAID WE COULD COME BACK TO THE CAT STUFF LATER DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND ? bc I need to know if u did
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 nothing in particular, but it kinda seemed too easy yo leave it there, you know? ^^; 'cause I mean, Jack's been kinda resistant to it the whole way
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 true Also it is hilarious to me that Gabe dropped everything to play w a cat
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 XD He is tired. let Gabe rest 2k17
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 XDDD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 I guess, something like, Gabe takes drunk!Jack back to wherever they'd been staying and they have a talk once he's sobered up. Or maybe Gabe cheats and they have a talk while he's drunk and more likely to be honest, then Gabe follows up the next morning with a bit more understanding of what's going through Jack's head.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 I want a scene where Jack can't sleep and when the cat demands to be let out to join Gabe on the couch, he follows her, watches her cuddle up w Gabe, sighs, and smooshes himself into the corner of the couch
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 <3<3<3 Gabe is, of course, awake. He lets the silence go on for just a few minutes before deciding that it's not going to help anything.
"Can't sleep?" is a stupid question with an obvious answer, but it's something to open with. He isn't expecting much, but Jack grunts and admits that he's been having bad dreams. Neither of them had ever been terribly heavy sleepers, and SEP had only made it easier to function with less sleep. Jack's term as SC didn't do him any favors in that regard, either.
Gabe offers a few vague details about some of his own--the ones full of fire and smoke, but not the ones where he wakes up, trapped in his own rotting corpse. To his surprise, Jack starts to share. What he has to say isn't what Gabe expected.
Jack dreams about him. About their daughter. He dreams about losing them.
His voice is flat and low, rough enough that it's hard to make out some of what he says. Gabe sits still and listens carefully. Jack doesn't give him much, but the fact that he said anything at all--and the nature of what he revealed--feels weighty.
It's an exchange that could easily shatter their unspoken truce.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 QOQ
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 It takes Gabe a little while to realize where Jack's honesty is coming from. He's been drinking. Must have started when he'd closed himself up in his room. Jack had always been a drinker, but never all that heavily until he had become Strike Commander, and not alone. He wonders how long that's been going on, then realizes how stupid the question is. Someone like him--like Soldier 76--couldn't exactly drink socially.
It's worrying. Jack's self-preservation instincts were never very good. Drinking alone, he's got fewer reasons to stop, to move on.
((dude i'm just rambling over here, feel free to jump in and...i dunno...dispose of the mess that is jack morrison))
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 SORRY GOT DISTRACTED BY THE STRANGER THINGS 2 TRAILER ALSO NOW I'M CRYING THANKS
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 aways happy to help
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 ALSO ALSO HE WASN'T DRINKING ALONE BC HE HAD THE CAT!!! cries more
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 oh! ohohoh!!! have you seen the trailer for A Wrinkle in Time??? =D I'M EXCITED!!!
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 i haven't :OOO
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 i almost said that the cat doesn't count, but she prolly pushes the glass off the table, so good for her. I really loved the book series, and the trailer looks SUPER nifty!! =D
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 why does jack always end up an alcoholic somehow i'm so sad and eeee i'll check it out !!
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 shrug emoji. seems to fit v well somehow
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 IT DOE does do deer ANYWAY XD does gabe call jack out on the drinking or let it slide for the time being to discuss later
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 Maybe he says something gently, and Jack just shrugs and curls away from him into the corner of the couch. 'Like you wouldn't've let me do it anyway. so i'd talk to you.' Jack pressing his face against the back of the couch, arms crossed tightly over himself as he draws up his legs. He whispers hoarsely, voice full of pain, unable to hold back the thought anymore and humiliated to voice it. 'i just want things to be the way they were. i just want to be done with all this.'
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 qOq Gabe aches to hold him but he's certain from Jack's body language that it would be incredibly unwelcome
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 Anger flares in Gabe's chest. Jack isn't the only one suffering, and he says so, quietly, trying to keep a leash on his temper, but not willing to let the point go. 'You think I don't wish for that? I wish I wasn't an abomination. I wish every breath wasn't pain. I wish we hadn't been too stupid to see all this coming and stop it. I wish--' He stops. Jack is saying something again, too low for him to have heard until he quit talking. He's apologizing, miserably, over and over again. THe anger dies down, smothered by pity.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 QOQ
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 'It isn't entirely your fault, Jackass,' Gabe says.
Jack huffs. The sound is a breath of bitter laughter. It's acceptance of his numerous sins. 'I wish I could have traded places with you in Zurich,' he says, and Gabe is startled by how raw his voice is. Jack means it, he really does.
'You wouldn't want this. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.'
'It shouldn't be you. Was always afraid I'd ruin us, but I never wanted something like that to happen to you. Never imagined...' He sags, still curled up in on himself, but strains to look back over one shoulder. 'I'm sorry, Gabe. I'd take that burden from you if I could.'
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 SOBBING BC THEY LOVE EACH OTHER
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 'If you mean it,' Gabe says hesitantly, knowing that he does, 'you can take a different burden. Stop closing yourself off, Jack. I'm obviously not your enemy...not anymore. I...' He pauses, hating to say it. 'It's been lonely. You always understood me better than anyone. I miss that.' gag kill me
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 I CAN'T BC I'M DYING and during this whole conversation the cat is happily purring away on top of gabe
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 OH MY GOD BUNNY READ THE MOOD
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 IT'S NOT BUNNY IT'S A CAT JACK REFUSED TO NAME BC IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR HIS TINY EMOTIONAL CAPACITY
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 SHIT I FUCKED UP I FUCKED UP XD
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 XDDDD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 OH MY GOD RABBIT READ THE MOOD
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 LMAOOO HARE-Y
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 X''''''''''''''D
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 Gabe drops the cat onto Jack with the flimsy explanation that purrs are supposed to help stimulate healing
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 c'mon gabe just hug him. Jack drags his sorry ass across the couch and Gabe draws him in with welcoming arms. they cling to each other, being miserable together at least.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 WITH THE CAT NESTLED BETWEEN THEM qwq Gabe very tentatively kisses Jack and Jack leans into it and the cat is Not Happy w this development bc she is being squished
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 YOU PLAYED YOURSELF CAT Jack pulls back after a moment with a sharp intake of breath. Gabe sits up, chasing him automatically, reaching out but not quite touching, hands hovering over Jack and wanting so much to pull him close again.
'What is it, Jack? What's wrong?'
'Nothing. I-- It...hit me all at once.' His voice is thick and he presses a hand to his face. Gabe can guess at exactly what he means, because his own eyes are stinging with unshed tears. He whispers Jack's name and gathers him in close, pressing soft kisses over his face and hair as Jack slowly, slowly relaxes.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 THESE GAY OLD MEN!!!!!! I'M DEAD after an hour of being squished on the couch the cat stretches, gives them a meaningful look, and moves to the bedroom Jack almost laughs.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 what if they end up falling asleep on the couch, and so jack wakes up lying on Gabe and doesn't want to get up right away even though he knows he should, so he just stays very still and quiet...right up until Gabe laughs and hugs him tight. 'I know you're awake, Jack.' He's too pleased that Jack was reluctant to leave.
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 QWQ EEEE Jack grumbles that he needs coffee but he refuses to get up Gabe is like "I can make coffee if you let me get up" but Jack has no response to that other than to get more comfy
SuspiciousPopsicle - 08/02/2017 jeezus jack that was a pretty quick change of heart XD
firesonic152 - 08/02/2017 XDDDD he's Tired

firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 XDDDDDD gabe is in love and won't even agree to jack's semi-joking offers to have sex and just pretend jack is steve
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 oh my god jack
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 jack can't wait to finish this stupid program so he can knock steve out
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 that's the 'you poor baby' territory there
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 XDDDD
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 so is this fixable? or does jack just have to suck it (metaphorically) this time?
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 LOLLL well hm i didn't think that far |D
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 XD
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 all the possibilities i can think of end sadly qoq
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 are celebrity crushes the same as normal ones? maybe it fades? or do they meet steve?
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 hmmm well i assumed they meet steve and he's just as nice as everyone said and gabe is just over the moon but!! if we go w the "celebrity crush is kinda superficial" we can probably fix this THE PROBLEM IS STEVE IS SO GREAT THERE'S NO REASON FOR GABE NOT TO LOVE HIM IF THEY ACTUALLY GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 oh! what if it's not, but Steve isn't with their squad during the omnic crisis? So Jack's the one that is always out in the field with Gabe, and Jack's the one Gabe sees day in and day out pushing himself and risking himself and being a hero. So, slowly, as they're out there trusting each other with their lives, Gabe's crush just kinda switches over to Jack. And by the time they're done fighting, Jack still doesn't realize that, and is Fucking Done with all this because it got him nothing but a broken heart when emotions were not even supposed to be part of the deal, so he's getting ready to quit and Gabe's all disappointed, and before Jack leaves, Gabe pulls him aside and is like, listen, I wanna say this to your face in case I never get another chance--I love you.
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 zkdjfnakdfjnfakf!!!!! jack is like yOU MOTHERFUCKER I NEARLY WAS OVER YOU TOO
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 XD Jack responding by trying to pull away and asking Gabe if he got hit on the head or something during that last mission, trying to play it off as a joke. 'It's only me, Gabe. Not Captain Rogers.'
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 awwwww jac k gabe, at least, looks embarrassed lol
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 'Enough with the teasing. I know I was a little star-struck, but I'm being serious.'
'A little?' Jack laughs shortly and turns away to go back to packing. 'Gabe, my parents don't love each other as much as you love him.' And then, because he can't resist rubbing salt in his own wounds, he brings up his lowest point. 'Man, I was honestly surprised that you didn't jump at the chance to pretend I was him. Haha. Guess it's hard to settle, though--'
Gabe grabs his shoulder and spins him around to look Jack in the face. His eyes are much too wide, and Jack winces, realizing that he made a mistake and gave himself away. His gaze slides off to the side as Gabe speaks.
'Jack...did you...?'
'I just wanted you to shut up about him!"
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 KJSNAKSNFJASF
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 '...I was right there in front of you the whole time, but I wasn't ever good enough. Not even as a substitute.'
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 NOOOOOOOOOO
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 :D YAAAAAAAAAY
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 Gabriel doesn't even know what to say for a second because, yes, for awhile there he was so infatuated with Steve he didn't notice anything else, but Jack is his partner. They've had each others backs through everything and how could he not fall in love - really in love - with the man who distracted him from the agony of all the injections with gallows humor and childhood stories, who sat quietly beside him on the dropship processing the horrors they had witnessed, who again and again was ready to give up his life for him?
And Jack still thinks Gabriel never noticed him... After everything, how could he not?
lol jack just wants senpai to notice him
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 XD
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 Gabriel decides kissing Jack is a much better plan than staring at him blankly while trying to sort out how to articulate everything he's feeling
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 Jack's surprised at first, warm in Gabe's arms, but tense. For just a moment, Gabe thinks that maybe this will get through to him, that Jack will understand, that everything will be all right. Then, Jack's fist catches him in the side, winding him, and his legs are suddenly kicked out from under him. Gabe finds himself on the floor, staring up while Jack wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. Some trick of the lights behind him make his eyes look incandescent with his rage.
'What the FUCK was that for?' Jack demands. 'I've been busing my ass for YEARS to try to catch up to your goddamn idol, and NOW you want something from me? What? Is it finally sinking in that I'm the CLOSEST you're going to GET? IS THAT IT?'
'Jack, listen--'
'FUCK YOU, Reyes!'
He tries to step past out of the room, but Gabe is quicker. He grabs Jack and manages to drop him. They scuffle briefly. Jack's anger makes him hard to pin down, but it also keeps him from using his head to fight. Eventually, Gabe gets the upper hand and keeps it. He's got Jack pinned to the floor beneath him, glaring poisoned daggers and breathing too hard. There's a glassy sheen to his eyes that Gabe is equal parts amazed and horrified to realize are the start of tears.
'Jack, listen to me! Rogers is good, but he's not the guy I want on my six. He's not the guy I want to trust my life to. He's not the guy I want at my side for however long I'm on this earth. That's you, Jack. That's all you.'
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 XD no i did my crying i cried for gabe jack can fukkin suck it!
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 XDDDDDDDD
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 Jack isn't fighting, but that doesn't mean he's given up. He's nothing if not stubborn. 'You're fucking with me.'
'No, Jack, I--'
'This is payback for all the times I teased you.'
'No. Jack...' Gabriel sighs, staring into Jack's eyes and seeing the conflict there. It kills him that he's inadvertently caused so much pain. 'How can I prove it to you? If I'm going to lose you, I at least don't want to watch you go, knowing that you couldn't even trust me.'
That gets a response. Jack looks away, but not before Gabe sees the fire start to die down. '...I trust you,' he mumbles.
'But not about this?' He's still lying on top of Jack, keeping him pinned to the floor, but he shifts to make himself more comfortable, folding one arm across Jack's chest to nestle his chin into, and curling his other hand over Jack's shoulder. He rubs gently at the tense muscles, trying to offer some reassurance that his affection is genuine.
'I... I don't... It doesn't make sense,' Jack insists. 'You love him.'
Gabriel takes a moment to consider, embarrassed by the strength of his old feelings about Steve and the effect they had. 'I love the idea of him. Never really got to know the man. I know you, though, and you're every bit the hero he is. I love you, Jack. Not just the idea of you, but you. Your dedication and drive, your strength, the way you look out for your team. I love your recklessness, even though you've scared the hell out of me often enough. I love the way you can fall asleep anywhere, even if it takes you a while to nod off. I love the way you're so stupidly picky about your food. I love your dumb, bleached blond hair.' He closes his eyes and nuzzles Jack's chest. 'I love feeling you close to me, love the way you smell, love how warm you are.' Playfully, he squeezes one of Jack's pecks and peeks up at his face for his reaction. 'Love your chest. I love you, Jack. Have for a while now. Surprised you didn't pick up on that the way you picked up on that silly crush.'
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING THIS?
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 SHRIEKS!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S SO GAY!!!!!!!!
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 WELL THANK GOD FOR SMALL FAVORS XD
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 dkfjnafkjnasfkajnfd Jack just huffs and lets his head fall back against the ground, completely red. "Could've saved me a whole lot of time and heartache if you told me this, like, months ago."
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 XD Gabe has successfully tamed the wild jack
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 AMAZING "Can I kiss you agai-" Gabe starts to ask but Jack is already grabbing his face and pushing their lips together.
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 LMAO STEVE COMES TO THEIR WEDDING
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 Jack's settings immediately switch to KILL XD
firesonic152 – 06/05/2017 AHAHAHAHA
Gabe grabs him by the wrist, yanks him over, and whispers into his ear that if he can be polite for the duration of the wedding, Gabe will set a goal to break the bed fucking him afterwards
Jack snorts and is like "we do that all the time"
Gabe shakes his head and jerks his head in the direction of torbjorn
"You're forgetting Torb's wedding gift to us"
Jack's pupils dilate and he just kinda nods
SuspiciousPopsicle – 06/05/2017 XD Good god. It's lucky for the world that Talon didn't brainwash Gabe, 'cause they coulda just led the strike commander around by the nose at that point XD
