House parties were never really your "scene".

The chaos and uncertainty of whose house you're even in, the smell of colognes and perfumes and sweat, the alcohol being mixed together in plastic cups that are discarded on the floor later that smell like Disneyland if it wasn't cleaned in a month-. Every part of a house party sounds awful. So, why are you standing in one now?

Well, your friend Lauren would be the reason why. Work had been a bitch for her recently - her words not yours - and you had gone through a breakup recently, prompting her to suggest a girl's night out. How you ended up at a house party from the crappy bar she dragged you to in downtown Chicago was beyond you.

"C'mon! This is totally gonna distract you from Lippy and all the drama he brought. To being single!" Lauren drunkingly cheers as she holds up her plastic cup of (you're sure) three different kinds of alcohol. You hold up your glass of water barely, running a hand over your face. "Yeah, can we not announce that?" You ask.

Two seconds later, she's giggling with a guy leading her up the stairs. You sigh, turning to go get some fresh air when there he stands. Lip Gallagher. Your freshly appointed ex-boyfriend. Or Lippy, as Lauren refers to him.

You and Lip had dated for two years, but you'd known him since you were kids. Your relationship was perfect, until one night. When he called you clingy, a bitch - this was of course after not talking to you for almost a whole week. You told him that night you were done with him. That he could call when he figured himself out.

He didn't call. It'd been a month.

It doesn't feel real that time has passed that quickly, because part of you is still stuck in his bedroom. Right where he left you. A lesson well learned.

"Hi." He says, as he stares at you. You stare right back.

"Hi." You manage to get out, clearing your throat. "I have to go-"

"Wait. Can we talk, please?" He asks, walking over to you, a hand on your arm as he whispers to you. The world stops for a pause before you nod. "Fine." You agree.

You let him lead you upstairs into an empty room, taking it in. It looks to be a guest bedroom, few decorations other then picture frames with the "welcome to our home" and flower vases on the nightstands.

"Welcome to my hell" would be a better fit.

"Why are we avoiding each other like this? You've been my best friend since I was fucking ten years old, I don't want us to lose each other like this." He says as you sit on the edge of the bed, taking note of the floral bedspread. "We already lost each other, Lip. A long time ago." You point out.

"Don't do this shit, don't be all cryptic." He rolls his eyes as you stand right back up, almost giving yourself whiplash. But that's disregarded when every memory floods back to you.

"Oh my God! What the hell do you want from me, Lip, huh? You want me to just forget every single thing you said to me? Or maybe you want me to just forget how you avoided me like the damn plague for a week before you finally did call me just to blow up at me and tell me you didn't want to be with me anymore. You can't go from telling me I was your favorite person to telling me you think I'm a bitch. And I can’t even look at my favorite person anymore, so what the fuck do you expect me to do?" You burst out, turning away from him, staring out the window.

It's silent for what feels like an eternity before you feel his arms wrap around your waist from behind. "I don't want to lose you. I- I haven't been me since you left. Please." He isn't sure what he's even begging for from you, but his voice is soft enough where you feel yourself wanting to give in.

This was a bad idea, right? After all, he was your ex. But you're both mature adults, can't two people reconnect? You'd only see him as a friend this time, it wasn't like he had to be something more.

You sigh as you push his arms off, walking for the door, waiting for a moment before locking it. You turn back around to face him, walking over to him and barely grazing his lips with your own to tease him before he kisses you. His hands find themselves on your waist like how he used to put them there when he kissed you like this.

Used. It still doesn't feel real to use parts of your relationship in the past tense. How you used to kiss him, how he used to hold you, how he used to be yours.

You kick your shoes off, and he does the same.

He pushes you back onto the bed, deepening the kiss. His tongue slides into your mouth easily, one hand on your back, the other sliding up your thigh. He knows your body so well, it's almost a science to him. He knows how your body reacts to certain touches. Certain places to kiss to make you giggle. Parts of your body that if he touches them, your back arches or you naturally move closer to them.

Like right now. His hand teasing around your sex, not quite touching where you so desperately want him.

His mouth only parts from yours to begin kissing down your jaw, then onto your neck. Finding solace there, he makes a mark on your pulse point, low moans erupting from you. Hands running through disheveled curls.

His hand finally reaches your cunt, and you hear him groan at the wetness growing on your panties. He looks at you for confirmation, and you nod desperately in return, not sure what he’s planning in that genius brain of his.

He removes your shirt so he can kiss your chest. Then your bottoms, leaving you in only your bra and panties. A finger slides those panties to the side, and he lets out another groan as he slides the digit past your slick folds, and you let out a gasp in return. You give a little tug to his hair and he almost moans at it, which you make a mental note of.

He thrusts his finger out, at a torturously slow pace, all while kissing down your body. You quickly realize when he grins up at you what he wants to do. What he feels he needs to do. You give him a nod of your approval, moans still flooding out.

He stops thrusting and removes his finger, only to replace it with his tongue. Sucking and kissing your clit, sliding his tongue in you while his hands run over skin on your thighs. You bite on your hand just to muffle your moans from the still active party outside, just as his nose bumps your clit.

“Shit, Lip. I'm close- fuck..” You whine as he laps desperately at your sex, and you can feel his smirk. "Language. Let go for me, baby, please." He requests softly, rubbing tiny circles on your clit.

You don't last long after that.

He lets your climax drip down your thighs, grinning to himself as he watches, feeling some of it on his jaw. "Need to feel you, please, Lip." You beg, and he frees himself from his boxers. Giving himself a few strokes before he lines himself up with his enterance. "You ready, sweet angel?" He asks, pressing his forehead against yours and lightly trailing slobbery kisses down your cheek before connecting to your lips. You pull away only after a second, whispering a soft "yes, please" before you're kissing his jaw in anticipation.

He groans, inserting himself past your now damp folds, thrusting gently in and out. He watches as his dick is swallowed by your cunt, your walls fluttering around him like it’s a familiar friend coming back.

Truth be told, he wasn’t sure why he pushed you away. Maybe he let the negative thoughts that you were too good for him take over. Maybe it was just the Gallagher thing to do.

But he’d regret it for the rest of his life.

Your moan brings him back to reality, hands on his shoulders as he finds a new position to fuck deeper into you, and he finds himself groaning as your nails dig into his skin. You quickly learn by the way his dick twitches he enjoys that.

And he learns by the way your walls squeeze around him you like it when he hits that spot in you. The spot that makes your head feel blurry, the spot that replaces every thought with his name. The spot that makes moans come out of you, the spot that makes the familiar heat in your belly grow.

“Fuck, Lip, I’m gonna-” Your words are cut off when he hits that spot again, even with a new angle. His forehead pressed against yours, sweat connecting with sweat. “Shit angel, you were just made for me. Pretty pussy just missed me, huh?” His words slur from the pleasure clouding his senses.

Your moans and mixtures of his name are more of an answer for him. The room smelled like sex, sound of skin slapping against skin filled it. He pressed his lips against yours, swallowing your moans as he rubbed small circles on your aching clit, and he feels the familiar white heat pouring out of your cunt.

He doesn’t last long, burying his seed deep in you. Swallowing your whines and moans as he pulls out, only breaking the kiss to stare at you, both of your chests heaving as you catch your breath. Watch your eyes having a silent conversation with his.

He lays down beside you. He watches as you run a hand over your face, and he decides to wash you both up. Returning with a damp washcloth, he helps get you cleaned up and setting your clothes on the end of the bed.

“So, uhm..” He tries to think of a conversation starter, and you shake your head, holding a hand up. “We shouldn’t have done this.” You whisper, frowning as you grab your clothes, slowly redressing yourself.

“You don’t have to go. We can go back to your place or mine and we can just talk.” You don’t realize he’s begging rather than requesting. This can’t be how you and him say goodbye after seeing each other again for the first time.

"I can't do this, Lip." You point out as you fight to get your shoes on.

You’d only see him as a friend.. biggest lie you ever said.

"I love you." He says. "I was an idiot for not saying it before so I'm saying it now. I'm in love with you and I always will be."

Definetly a lie now.

ALL IS HELL WELL IN THE AFTON FAMILY

MICHAEL ☆ AFTON

x reader (gn but use of feminine gendered terms)

not proofread

summary: basically you and michael go on a little arcade date and everyone's alive and basically no one dies lmfao because I said so

let's pretend the arcade is kinda like dave n' busters bc I also said so and let's pretend they had decent games like today I ALSO CANNOT WRITE KISSING SCENES M SORRY

genre : fluff

you stared out the window, sighing. maybe he really wasn't coming. you turned, ready to just put your pajamas back on and leave the hope of michael even coming.

just as you were going to take your shirt off, you heard a loud rumble and then a few harsh knocks on your front door.

you nearly skipped all the steps down the stairs, swinging the door open to reveal michael, who already started apologizing.

"i got caught up in something, and I honestly didn't mean to be so late-"

"it's alright, it was only like 20 minutes," you cut him off, smiling.

"i was still late," he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck as he revealed what was behind his back. "hope these make up for it?"

you gasped as he showed you the huge bouquet of flowers. some of the petals were falling off, probably due to the wind, but they were still pretty, and they were your favorite flowers.

"you really didn't have to," you accepted them from his hands.

"it's our first date and I was late, it's the least I could do." he had a light blush dusting his face.

you gestured for him to come in the house while you put away the flowers into a vase lying around.

when you came back, you found him awkwardly leaning against a wall. he saw you approaching and immediately stood upright.

"you ready?" he asked.

you nodded, grabbing your stuff and following him out the door, locking it.

your jaw dropped once you saw that he brought his motorcycle instead of his dad's car like you expected.

"michael, I've never rode a motorcycle before," you raised your eyebrow at him.

"that's fine," he said as he got on. "just hang on tight."

you rolled your eyes at his smirk and hopped on behind him, putting on the helmet he offered you.

"what about you?" you asked when you noticed he didn't have a helmet for himself.

"you think I'm that bad of a driver?" he teased as he took you arms to wrap around his waist.

"no! it's just-" you yelped as he pulled out the driveway, laughing as you held onto him tighter.

☆

the two of you arrived at the arcade, and you flew off the bike, happy to finally be on normal ground.

"and I have to ride that back home?" you groaned.

"you'll be riding it a lot more than that," he grinned, winking at you as he took your helmet off and placed it on his motorcycle.

you were still thinking about the double meaning to that sentence.

the two of you walked into the arcade, and your eyes automatically latched onto a huge fox plushie. it had a little pirate hat and everything! you knew that was all you wanted from this arcade, and ran over to the booth.

"5,000 tickets?!" you dramatically groaned. michael put his hand on your shoulder.

"it's not even that many tickets," he laughed. "I'll get it for you. but first let's have fun."

you looked at him skeptically before he nearly dragged you to a racing game.

he absolutely dusted you in that game, and he was still laughing at you for being so bad at it.

"that was probably the easiest win I've ever had." he poked you as you sulked.

"I wasn't even that bad!" you tried defending yourself.

"yeah, that bad."

you stomped off to another game, michael still smiling.

"hey, princess, I'll be right back, okay?" he said once you started playing another game.

"okay," you responded, deadset on getting a high score.

he left, and that's when you faltered a bit. he called you princess? you blushed and shook that thought from your head.

you played 3 more times before michael came back, startling you when he said your name. you turned, game forgotten. you already quit getting on the leaderboard by that point anyways.

he held out long strips of tickets, giving you a bright smile. "ready to get that stuffed animal?"

your eyes widened and you screamed, "yes!" and grabbed onto his hand to lead him to the reward booth.

you gleefully pointed out the fox, and michael gave the worker the tickets. once you got the plush you stared at it in happiness. you didn't even realize you were still holding hands with michael. but he noticed.

he stared at your hands interconnected and flushed. glancing back at you.

"what should we name it?" you questioned, meeting his stare.

"it's up to you, babe."

you opened your mouth to respond but nothing came out, just a few broken words. michael's getting bold with these names.

michael chuckled at you reaction and you furrowed your eyebrows.

"how about what that fox animatronic is called? foxy? it looks almost the same anyways." you gained an interest in what the floor was looking like, still feeling michael's gaze.

"sounds great," his voice made you look back up at him. "ready for a racing rematch?"

"ready to lose this time?" you countered.

☆

you did, in fact, not win a single time.

"how are you so good at that game?" you pouted as the two of you left the arcade, the sun already setting.

"I've never seen anyone as bad as you at that game. how are you so bad at that game?" he asked as you got on his bike, foxy tightly in your grip.

"maybe you're just too good!"

"maybe I am." he slipped his helmet onto your head.

"ready? I have somewhere else I wanna go with you."

"m' ready." you leaned your head against his back and held him closer.

he revved his bike and you still jumped, causing him to laugh at you once again.

"how'd you even get those tickets?" you yelled.

☆

the two of you arrived at a little drive in theater, michael parking the bike in a little secluded area.

"motorcycles can go to drive in theaters?" you questioned, finally pulling off the hot helmet.

"apparently, yeah." he ran his hand through his mullet, fluffing it out. "it might get a bit uncomfortable though."

you hummed, keeping your arms around michael.

the two of you stayed like that, until around an hour later you felt a water droplet on your forehead.

"did you feel that?" you asked michael.

"feel wh- oh." the droplets started to come down faster.

michael hurriedly took off his leather jacket and put it around you. "I'll drop you off at home."

he began to drive back to your house, and you were shivering from the cold of the rain.

"michael, aren't you cold?" you asked him while he stopped at a red light.

"I'm fine. I don't want you getting sick." he looked back at you before turning his attention back to the road.

"i dont want you getting sick." you argued.

"we're almost back at your house, I doubt I'll get sick."

the two of you made it back, and you ushered michael inside.

"my parents are on vacation anyways," you told him when he asked about them.

you gave him a towel to dry off and told him you could put his shirt and jacket into the dryer.

he took his tank top off, and you turned red as you took it and scurried off to the laundry room. you already changed your clothes, and you asked him about his pants.

"really trying to undress me like that?" the corner of his mouth turned upward as he shook his head. "i'll be fine."

you gaped.

"no need to stare, princess." he was having too much fun with this.

you spun around and stomped into the kitchen.

"it's not my fault you got all wet! I should've made you stay there in wet clothes. now you're not getting your jacket back." you started searching through your pantry for snacks.

michael seems to love sneaking up on you, because he put his hands on your hips just as you found a bag of chips. you spun around quickly, the chips leaving your hand.

"you need to stop doing that. that's like the third time." you honestly didn't want him to stop.

"but I like doing it," he frowned. you could feel his breath on your face.

your eyes were trying to find somewhere else to look, but it only led you to look at his chest, then his eyes, and then his lips.

"I, uh-" you stammered.

he inched closer and thats when you locked eyes with him.

"is this alright?" he whispered.

"yeah, more than alright," you breathed out as he pulled you in for a kiss, you putting your arms around his neck, trying to get even closer to him.

he quickly broke the kiss, and you opened your eyes in questioning.

"I love you."

[catch-the-wind]

when reader is sick hc's

finally posting writing here so true

n e ways okay so i’m brainrotting about the genshin charas taking care of their s/o’s when they’re sick 🥺 and now i'm feeling sick, sigh

ohm and sulien ambros belong to @teyvattherapist! they're such good chara's, i know i'm writing them here but i deffo recommend reading up on them

okay here u go, have some hc's that are kinda sorta long and by that i mean 2.5k- i haven't proofread this bc it's 4am and im going to BED but if i write for any other chara's i'll post a second part <3 mwah

tags: gn!reader, diluc x reader, kaeya x reader, jean x reader, lisa x reader, albedo x reader, dainsleif x reader, tartaglia x reader, ohm ambros x reader, sulien ambros x reader, soft bean hours

diluc

is not working or traveling when his partner is sick

absolutely makes them soup and hot tea and drinks

he’s trying to make them food but he’s not the best cook so he’s asking adelinde for help

absolutely asks jean, barbara, and ohm for help while his partner is sleeping but he’s so awkward LMAO

was absolutely frantic the first day he found out his partner was sick tho, he made them come over to the winery so they could sleep there and he can take care of them <3

absolutely lied about what room was his so they slept in his bed

“hmm this guest room is so furnished diluc are all your rooms like this” and no, no they are not, this room is his, bestie

diluc slept on a sofa in his bedroom and did work on the table that was supposed to be for flowers. kinda stressed over abyss order locations but was more worried ab his partner being okay so he was distracted

he just put the flowers on his nightstand for his partner to see when they woke up <3

gives his partner forehead kisses because they won’t let him kiss them on the lips and he gives them the gentlest cheek kisses while they sleep

also gives his partner his clothes to wear <3

cuddles them and reads to them when they’re awake and TEMPLE KISSES OH MY GOD

kaeya comes over because he’s worried his brother and his brother’s s/o haven’t been seen in a little while

n e way, diluc gets sick after his partner gets better and they nursed each other back to health

kaeya

like diluc, he took off work so he could take care of his s/o i,mediately after he found out they were sick

wouldn’t force them to stay at his place tho, he’d probably let them recover in their own place

but he might make them go to the kof hq or the cathedral just so they can be taken care of by a proper healer

he absolutely soothes their fevers and stuff w cryo and also the man can heal himself w his elem skill ofc he can fix someone if he tries hard enough <3

he gives kisses no matter how much his partner says not to but he’ll also give them butterfly kisses so it’s soft moments too~ sigh, ur too cute alberich

asks ohm and barbara and albedo and lisa for potions and such to help his partner feel better but he’s really lowkey so he doesn’t seem SUPER worried

he just hates seeing his partner not feeling so well </3

refreshes his partner’s vase of flowers at their bedside every day

brings home work so he can watch over his partner. he can’t cook super well either so he asks for help and brings stuff home from good hunter too

jean was okay to let kaeya off of work and diluc would never admit it (man practically swore everyone to secrecy smh) but he helped take up some of kaeya’s duties in his stead

and kae, the alcoholic, didn’t even drink while his partner was sick bc he was lowkey worried they would need his help w smth and he didn’t want to be drunk just in case <3

many cuddles despite protests of getting him sick <3

jean

absolutely uses her healer skills to make her partner feel better

panicked when they were still sick and thought it was her fault </3 she asked barbara and ohm for help and they just told jean to relax a bit bc her partner was sick and it wasn’t going to be a quick fix

wanted to take off work but didn’t, so she just brought her work with her

kaeya and ohm very kindly took up her other duties where she had to leave so she could be w her partner

her partner is staying in the kof hq where they get access to ohm and barbara comes to visit <3 but also so that jean can sleep comfortably enough close by bc you cannot tell me this woman does not sometimes sleep in her office or the library and barely makes it to the kof dormitories sometimes

she’s so worried the entire time, she’s probably got a few gray hairs and a new frown line smh

she has clothes that aren’t her work clothes???? it’s so foreign seeing her in stuff like pajamas. you didn’t even know jean owned pajamas

jean sets them up in her bed at home (yeah she has a place outside of the kof hq??? it’s surprising) but it’s a big bed so they can rest and she’ll have the lamp on her side on while she sits up and does work

absolutely dotes on them. she’s good at making foods that make them feel better, she’s just a good healer that way <3

albedo, klee, venti, kaeya, lisa, and ohm all come over to check on jean and co and make sure everyone is doing okay <3 lots of food brought

if jean was asked to sing to her partner normally, she probably wouldn’t bc she’d probably get embarrassed but i think she probably sounds v good and venti would give her his lyre to try out a musical instrument too. but also she’d read to her partner and they’d probably fall asleep together uwu

lisa

works part time hours at the library so she can go visit her s/o

probably asks them to stay at the kof hq for easier access to medical assistance and plus she’s almost always there

“cutie” but worried and very 🥺 (pleading emoji)

makes soup and potions and reads to her partner until they fall asleep

also super playful omg she’s still got a smile on and is full of affection while she walks her fingers up her partner’s arm to their face so she can cup their cheek

she’ll make her partner laugh and smile and blush even when they’re sick, but she makes them laugh until they cough sometimes and immediately feels so bad

jean, barbara, kaeya, albedo and ohm all come to visit with different foods and soups and medicines and such

klee comes knocking and gives lisa some good fisherman’s toast and asks lisa’s s/o if they want to hug dodoco b/c that always makes klee feel better

purple roses galore, lisa has them in her partner’s room and they’ve got a potion to make the. uh. sniffer? to make the sniffer feel better. don’t ask me how, idk but she would find a way to make them physically feel better with flowers

reads to her partner ofc, and she tells them stories ab her own life and time at sumeru sans the crazies

worried looks when her s/o is sleeping but also the softest smiles when they wake up pls-

albedo

cutest lil frown on his face when he finds out his partner is sick

immediately they are taken home and he’s testing to confirm what’s wrong w them and what he can do to speed up their recovery

he’s more distracted than usual at work but he’s coming over to your place all the time w what paperwork he can do

also sketches his partner while they don’t know. he’s got lots of beautiful candids of his partner sleeping, looking out the window, falling asleep, reading, even drinking water. he’s made the most mundane things look captivating

kaeya and ohm come to check on albedo when he doesn’t show up for work after a few days and it’s bc he’s taking care of his s/o with food and soup and alchemical potions and shit. and when kae and ohm come in, they find his partner opening the door wrapped in a blanket while albedo is asleep cuddling the pillow they left bc he stayed up the night before making soup and reading to them

klee has camped out on his partner’s couch, she helps w the cooking too~ she absolutely lets them hug dodoco and gives them a treasure to feel better too LOL

many kisses from klee and albedo, and they also go out to get treats for albedo’s partner too

domestic albedo cooking in his partner’s kitchen and for once it isn’t some alchemical potion that he might blow up the stove with

tartaglia

takes off work entirely but BOY OH BOY is he stir crazy smh

brings his partner to his apartment to rest <3

he’s so worried ab his s/o that he makes all the sick ppl food the first day, orders from wanmin restaurant when his partner wants smth different, and also gets toys and such to entertain them otherwise

also reads to his partner but, again, he gets stir crazy after a while

absolutely does workouts and katas in the living room and phew shirtless tartaglia working out? gets the heart rate up for sure ahem

rushes to his partner tho omg- need soup? water? a trip to the bathroom? another blanket? he goes to them the MOMENT he hears them moving around. absolutely dotes on them <3

his family knows ab his partner and he’s probably written letters ab them being sick~ his family sent snezhnayan herbs and flowers and medicines and such

zhongli comes around because he wants sugar daddy!tartaglia with tea and medicine from bubu pharmacy. hu tao is in tow with well wishes and a “hope i don’t find you at work!” which is. a little worrying because aren’t you just a little sick-

many kisses from tartaglia because he is Needy and he’ll absolutely get sick from cuddling his partner while they sleep

also he’ll probably just like. envelop his partner while they sleep. they’re all cuddled into him and he’s actually so warm it’s nice bc they’re cold w a fever and he’s living for comforting them

he’s so worried tho, he’s got the frowny face and he’s so adorable but he just doesn’t want his partner to feel sick

dainsleif

the man camps in ruins, he’s going to his partner’s house smh

he doesn’t go into the church either LOL so expect him in his partner’s home making dinner and doing their grocery shopping thanks

he would get ohm and barbara to come over tho <3 “fix them please��� but also “how can i fix them”

is so dead set on making sure his partner takes their medicine at the right times, he’s so soft for them and them alone

cooks soup and old recipes he barely remembers from khaenri’ah. he doesn’t really get sick, so he doesn’t remember these ones too clearly. deffo brings back old memories he’d long forgotten

reads to his partner and tells them old stories of how the world used to be, his travels, gives them the gossip on a certain khaenri’ahn but doesn’t give away the name

ohm comes over with medicine and lollipops bc dain is so unlikely to go to the cathedral to get barbara smh

but also dain, so self-sufficient, is unlikely to want to ask for help, so ohm just goes to help anyway

dain with the old khaenri’ahn lullabies and tucking his partner into his arms and singing quietly while he holds them and rocks them to sleep

dain is immortal, he’s giving his partner kisses bc “i’m immortal, ofc i won’t get sick”

he got sick

but his s/o nursed him back to health and then there were smooches the end

ohm ambros

the doctor with his ill lover oh my god

he’s frowny, he’s taking care of his partner at his home in springvale and his home clinic is open to everyone else. but everyone knows his partner is the first priority LOL

kaeya and albedo come over to see if ohm is okay or if his house needs to be checked up on. they’re wondering if he went on a last-minute expedition to sumeru and didnt tell them

diluc comes over too, he’s just checking up on his best friend but he’s also stealing a cherry lollipop smh. he heard from kae that ohm’s partner is sick tho, so he brings some soup and good food over from adelinde. he also brings some of his own specialty food tho, the once upon a time in mondstadt <3

sulien sending letters to his big brother to see if his brother’s s/o is okay

ohm is also just super protective of his partner, there are not many people who come into his life who he loves and lets in in the first place. he’s absolutely trying to heal them with his own vitality, so their recovery is much shorter than initially expected

barbara also comes over w jean to check up on ohm and co, complete w a goody basket of soup, a teddy bear, flowers, and books

ohm reading to his partner <3 he’s got such a soothing voice even if his accent is wack LMAO. he’s reading stories and even his paperwork because just his presence is comforting

he puts his hands on his partner’s forehead to soothe the fever goodbye

ohm will not sing for his s/o simply bc he doesn’t think he sounds v good. and he probably doesn’t but it would be so cute to hear him try and please ohm? 🥺

n e way i want smooches idc if i’m sick KISS ME OHM AMBROS

sulien ambros

when he finds out his partner is sick, the man blinks like twice and then suggests so calmly that they go to his apartment in liyue

man does not sleep normally, he’s just going to nurse his partner back to health and read during their recovery. fruit tart can cover his duties for him <3

sulien cooks for his partner tho, he’s making soup and stuff and getting medicine from bubu’s pharmacy. he’s also picking up books on the way home but some of them are to be read to his partner so it’s okay-

like tartaglia, sulien works out while his partner rests and goes to them if he hears them moving around. he’s reading to his partner and not so frowny, but the slightest furrow of this man’s brow is already such a big expression of his concern <3

sends letters to ohm asking for advice ab how to help his partner feel better. ohm just sends a letter back with “i’m coming” and shows up within the day LMAO

reads to his partner, and the monotony of his voice is soothing and lulls them to sleep. he just looks at them affectionately (well affectionate for him) and presses a kiss to their forehead before finishing the story on his own and in his head

tartagalicious comes over and brings food, flowers and a teddy bear with some of sandrone’s paperwork but he sends a smile to sulien’s partner with some well wishes

scara comes over too just to visit and check to see where sandrone is, but scara is a grumpy bean so he just says “feel better” all brooding and like it’s a command to one of the fatui subordinates LOL

sulien like ohm uses his cold hands to soothe his partner’s fever and also gives them forehead kisses <3

WORD COUNT: 2.2K

You stood frozen as he stepped out of the elevator, his eyes soft as he met yours, waking towards you.

“Get away from me.” you whisper, attempting to push past him and get into the elevator, pressing the door closed button before even pressing a floor, not wanting him to get any closer.

“Y/N, wait!” he rushed, sticking his hand between the doors and stopping it, his tall frame standing before you that you quickly push past, going back to lock yourself in your apartment, and lock him out, “Please, let me explai-“

“No!” you stopped, voice firm as you turned to face him, “you can’t keep doing this! you can’t keep showing up like this! So just leave me alone.”

You kept walking, ignoring his pleas as he came after you, successfully unlocking your apartment door rapidly, but you catch a glimpse of rings as he hand stops the door.

“Please.” He whispered, not pushing the door open and you saw a flicker of his eyes and you could almost see the sincerity in them, “I know I don’t deserve it, I really don’t, but I would just love to talk to you for real this time, anything you want to know.”

“and you’re not gonna be an asshole this time?” you asked, leaning against the doorframe, peaking at him, “because if you are, I swear to god Styles I will give you 5 seconds to get the fuck out.”

“Promise.” He nodded and your heart believed him, so you opened the door.

You watched as he shoved his hands deep in his pockets, slowly entering your apartment and you didn’t miss how his eyes scanned you quickly, before bouncing around the apartment, looking around the space he used to be so familiar with.

You watched how he headed to the couch about to sit but stutter stepped a bit, scratching the back of his neck and looking at you, almost asking you if it’s okay if he sits down.

You gave him a soft smile and nod, tucking a loose hair behind your ear and sitting on one side of the couch, thankful he sat on the other, giving you each plenty of space as your eyes met. The tension was slowly rising, looking at each other as you sat, wondering who was going to break the silence.

“I never meant for anything to happen.” he whispered, his head falling as a shameful look covered his face, avoiding your eyes, “After the breakup… I- I was just lost. I was messing up at work and I just was doing shit. Then, it was like only like a month ago, I was getting drunk all the time and she just came into my trailer and we were talking and then she kissed me.”

You just nodded, biting your bottom lip and picking at your nails, peaking up and looking at him, your glossy eyes meeting his bloodshot ones, not really having anything to say in response.

“And I just…” he started, “I wanted to feel better, feel anything. So, we just started hanging out more and I just really wanted to feel something, feel a connection. So we took a trip to Italy because… It’s always been a place that made me feel better and then…”

“Yeah.” you chuckled, “and then… Why did you bring her to our house? I know we haven’t talked about that kind of stuff, but it’s mine too Harry and… just seeing you two there? I never felt more replaceable than I did when I saw you two.”

“Oh love, no.” He whispered, scooting closer to you, a hand coming up to cup your face to help your eyes meet, but he retracted it back before he made contact with your skin, “I’m so, so sorry. I’m so sorry and I will never be able to prove to you, but that was never my intention to ever hurt you. The breakup was a mistake.”

“I… How am I supposed to believe that?” you squeaked, voice cracking as the barrier breaks, tears falling on your cheeks as you looked up at him, “We we’re together for years and you just- I mean fuck Harry! I haven’t even thought about even starting to flirt with someone and you’re…”

“We’ve never had sex,” He quietly added cheeks turning a bit red, “or done anything like that. At all, I just… couldn’t.”

Your eyes widen a bit at the confession, watching as he looked at his hands, a slight twinge of embarrassment on his features.

“Oh.” you whispered, “I know I shouldn’t be mad, we… we aren’t together and you have have the right to do whatever you want but it’s just… hard. Especially when I wasn’t expecting it. I went to Italy to try and get away, everything in the city makes me think of you, I don’t know why I thought staying at the house would be any better but, I just wanted to get away.”

“Sorry I ruined your trip.”

“Sorry I ruined your hookups.”

He let out a laugh, the smile staying a bit longer when he noticed you had subconsciously scooted a bit closer to him.

“It’s not like I ever really wanted to… Even little Harry only wants you.” he flirted and an instant, loud laugh leaves your lips, leaning forward and your brace yourself on his shoulder, a simple thing you had done over the years countless times, but still made his heart skip a beat.

“Oh my god,” you said between breathless laughs, your bodies now less then a foot apart as you smiled up at him, “please do not call it little Harry!”

“What do you prefer?” He smirked, “rather I call it bi-“

“What the fuck?” a voice spoke suddenly, both of your red eyes going to your front door and seeing your best friend standing their, her eyes wide in a mix of confusion and anger. Your hand retracted from his body quickly, your best friend looking at you with soft eyes, her eyes darting over to Harry’s and you see the fiery anger behind them, “Y/N, please tell me he was getting whatever shit he left behind and is leaving.”

“We were just talking.” You started, glancing over at Harry, seeing a bit of fear behind his eyes and your lips quirked up in a smile that quickly faded seeing the anger in y/bff/n eyes.

“What do you want to talk to him about? How he broke your heart again?” She asked, confusion and concern laced in her voice, “I’m sorry, y/n, I just… I can’t watch you go through all of it all over again and again.”

You opened your mouth to protest, but he quickly stood up beside you giving you a quick nod as he glanced over at y/bff/n the back at you, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have just showed up. It was so good to see you, y/n, I’ll get out of your way.”

“Harry, wait!” you stood up, hating the softening in your voice, “I want to talk more… are you staying or do you have to go back to L.A?”

“I’ll be here as long as you need me. And if you want me gone, I’ll book my flight. Okay? It’s up to you, whatever you want.”

“Okay… Can I call you later?”

“You can call me anytime, I’ll pick up.”

***

Y/bff/n definitely wasn’t thrilled with you.

“I just feel like this is a bad idea, y/n!” She had exclaimed once Harry had left your apartment, “He’s gonna hurt you again! What could he possibly want?”

“I dont know, I just… I dont know.” You sighed, sitting across from her on your couch just like you did with him, “I love him and I don’t know what’s going to happen but I don’t want to end up hating him.”

She nodded, looking at you as your eyes glazed over again, “Hey, okay, I’m sorry. I just don’t want you upset. Do you still wanna go try this new place or just hang out here? Let’s get your mind off of everything, you need a break, yeah? Especially if you’re going to talk to him later.”

“Do you think I should?"

“If that’s what you think, I think you should. You know him.” She nods, “but I swear to god if he makes you cry again he’ll have to deal with me.”

So now, here you were, waiting on him to come back to finish your talk from earlier. It was helpful hanging out with y/bff/n, listening to her advice as she gave you a bit of the reality check that you needed, making sure he won’t sweep you off your feet with his familiar charm.

Your heart rate never fully calmed down as you waited for him to come back to your apartment after y/bff/n dropped you back off after your afternoon together and you were glad for the few hours of a distraction, but now your mind was fully occupied with him once again as you sat on your couch.

The knock on your door caused you to jump, hoping up and checking your appearance in your hall mirror before swinging open the door, seeing Harry standing their with a bouquet of flowers, a small smile on his face.

“Got these for you,” he began, “shoulda showed up with them when I kinda crashed into you earlier… but I was so nervous I didn’t think about it, honestly.”

“Thank you.” You softly replied, eyeing up at him and taking them from his grip, letting out a shaky breath as you welcome him in and turn on your heel, going to your kitchen to place them into a vase quickly before going back to him, seeing him in the same spot you two were sitting in earlier.

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry again… and thank you for letting me come back and talk to you at all, really don’t deserve your time, but I’m thankful for it.” He began, eyes glued onto yours as he scooted closer to you when you sat down, his fingers tentatively trailing on your arm before laying his hand on your own, “I… I want you back, y/n. I want to be with you, I never stopped wanting just you.”

“Harry, I… I don’t know what to say.” You started, “I just… there’s so much still up in the air and it’s all happening so fast. Are you still with Olivia?”

“No, of course not.” He instantly answered, “we were never anything real, I left Italy when I went to the house and you were gone. I came back here and I just… I would sit outside your building in my car and just try and get the nerve to walk in to talk to you, but I was so scared of you telling me to leave again.” Harry started deep into your eyes as he continued, his own welling up with tears, “I love you so much and I was such an idiot and fuck baby… I’ll do anything to prove it you.”

Now, you two were just inches apart, his hand cupping your cheek as you leaned into it, eyes glued onto his eyes as both of your gazes were glassy, sets of eyes wandering down to one another’s lips. Your eyes fluttered up and looked at him, his nose nudging into yours, seeming to test the boundary and you simply nodded, causing him to connect your lips in an instant.

Your lips met softly, gaining speed as the passion overflowed you both as the familiar move came back easier than either of you could have imagined. You both moaned into one another’s mouths, his tongue quickly sliding past your lips as your crawled onto his lap, fingers gripping the soft material of his shirt.

Things escalated quickly as he carried you into your bedroom, body hovering over yours as his body pressed against yours, the articles of clothing disappearing piece by piece, lips never separating a second longer than they had to you as you refamilarized yourselves with one another.

His fingers dug their way into your waist as he kissed you harder, singular pieces of thin material being the only things separating you and as Harrys fingers slipped down, pulling back and looking up at you for permission, your breath caught in your throat, reality hitting you like a wave.

“I can’t do this.” You whispered, fingers removing themselves from his hair as you covered your face, voice wavering as tears welled up in your eyes once again, “I-it’s all too much, too fast- I-I, I don’t think I can do this, Harry- I can’t.”

“Fuck, it’s okay.” He whispered, crawling off from on top of you, scrambling to pick his t shirt off the floor and handing to you, quickly covering your body with it, “Fuck, I’m sorry, did I hurt you?”

You nodded quickly, knees tucking into your chest as you let out soft cries, flinching as his arm came around you, going to comfort you with the soft stroke of his arm and retracted it quickly after seeing your reaction.

“I-I… I just keep seeing you and her in my head.” You whispered, “…I don’t know if I can do this.”

main masterlist | arvin russell masterlist

when you first met arvin you never thought of him as a romantic guy

but oh you were so wrong

so wrong

your first date with arvin was nothing what you’d expect to be

i mean

it’s not like you expected arvin to show up with two cans of beer and a carton of cigarettes 

but you didn’t expect him to go all out either

you remember your first date with that damn boy like it was yesterday

he showed up to your house with a bunch of flowers

you could tell he picked them out from the park or something

but it was the thought that counted and it warmed your heart

god what a sight he was

all doe-eyed

face still mean as hell though

and pretty too of course 

you liked to call him pretty boy and he called you stupid

anyway

his eyebrows were a bit furrowed and knitted together 

but the look in his eye and the small smile on his lips

enough to make any girl swoon

“hey,” he said briefly, pushing out the poor yet lovely flowers in his hands

some were fully bloomed, bright yet dull

some lopping over

some dead

even a little bit of dirt and roots hanging from the end

but you could tell he tried

he tied a bit of woven rope around it all to keep it together

before you could speak he interrupted 

“i– i know girls like flowers. but i couldn’t get you em fancy ones from the store cus. yanno. m’ sorry doll, but this is all i could get,” he held them out again and you gladly took them

“there’s no need to apologize, i love these arvin. thank you,” you smiled and leaned close towards him, kissing his cheek

his cheeks were instantly dusted with pink at your affectionate gesture

“y’ of course. my pleasure. well, uhm. if you’re ready, my car’s parked a bit down the road, cause you said your parents?” he trailed off, glancing behind you.

you nodded and giggled softly

“yea, they usually don’t like it when boys come over. but i don’t give a fuck,” you whispered the last part and sent him a wink

god he loved it when you cursed

he found it kinda hot he told you

he flushed and looked away, chuckling 

“well alright, do you want me to wait in my car?” he stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking back at you

“yep, i’ll be out ina jiffy,” you said, about to turn the other way and put the flowers in a vase

“wait,” he coughed while taking a step forward

“yeah, arvin?” you turned back towards him

“you look real pretty,” he complimented you

it was then your turn to blush

“why thank—” before you said anything he turned around and walked off to your car

you always found him such an interesting fella

you giggled to yourself and retreated back into your home

he first took you on a long drive

which honestly scared you a bit

“you sure you’re not taking me somewhere to kill me?” you muttered and looked around

nothing but trees and road was in sight 

“i think,” he replied blankly, one hand on the wheel while the other was on his thigh casually

you blushed at the sight

you weren’t sure why you found it attractive

but you sure did

“how reassuring,” you teased, catching a smirk beginning to curl at the end of his lips

he eventually found a spot and parked on to a hill, that looked over knockemstiff

the sun was setting and the town was dark

it looked absolutely beautiful

he got out of the car and soon opened your door, holding out his hand

you jokingly froze and looked at him suspiciously

“you sure y’ not gonna kill—”

before you could finish your sentence he pulled your arm towards him, holding you close

you let out a squeal and looked at him with a flushed expression

“no, i’d never. you hear me dumb one?” he cupped the side of your face

you blushed and nodded into his touch

“m’ only teasing. jeez.”

he chuckled and pulled you carefully toward the front of his car

“gimme a minute,” he walked off towards the back of his car

you smiled and leaned against his car, looking out at the stunning scenery in front of you

soon arvin came out with a picnic basket

he’d hear you before the both of you went on a date that you loved picnics

so of course, he had to take you on a picnic

it was so sweet

a basket full of sandwiches, pop, and some cheap snacks he managed to buy

with change, he scrounged all over his room, place, and car

the both of you shared your first kiss that night

“i’d genuinely never met a girl like you,” he murmured, looking down at you as lied across his lap

“well i sure as hell never met a boy like you,” you whispered and looked back up at him

you both leaned closer and closer towards each other’s faces

and then pure

bliss

your lips fit perfectly on his

his floppy hair that was surprisingly not hidden underneath a cap fell onto your face

he held your face so gently and you held onto his shirt like you were going to fall 

you both kissed the night away

he’d never put so much effort into dates before

most of his past dates were sexual, but he didn’t tell you that until later

the more dates you two had, the better they got

now this one date you took him on

you don’t know how you did it

but you managed to get the poor boy to go rollerskating with you

and lord

was it a great laugh for you

as soon as the two of you rolled out into the arena

arvin was wobbling all of the place

you had multiple fits of giggles and laugh

“how the hell!” he grunted and continuously slipped

eventually having to hold onto the railing

“honey, you just glide y’ feet,” you snickered and held his hand

“yeah no shit. it’s like m’ a goddamn baby again learning how to fucking walk,” he muttered frustratingly underneath his breath

“awe you poor poor baby,” you teased and squeezed his hand. “just watch me lover, look at me feet. move with me, ready?” 

he nodded and stared at you closely

you began to move your feet slowly, watching him as he watched you

“yes! see you’re getting there, slowly. yep. wow arvin, didn’t think ya had it in y—”

course

before you could even finish your praise

he let out a loud yelp while slipping, bringing you down in the process

you landed on his chest

he let out a grunt, holding you up before you could hurt yourself more

you both looked at each other in disbelief and burst out in laughter

it was moments like these where the both of you truly enjoyed each other’s presence

some dates were steamier than the other

the two of you were supposed to be watching the movie

while in his car and snacking

but of course y’all couldn’t keep your hands of each of other

his hand was already up your skirt 

caressing your skin

while your tongues pressed against each other

your hand tangled in his hair

you felt his finger brush against your lower area and you gasped in response

yeah you and arvin had made out before

but it’s never gotten farther than that

so lil touches like that surprised you

“oh m’ sorry baby doll. did you not like that?” he pulled his hand away immediately

he cupped your face with his other hand and looked at you with pure concern

you blushed and shook your head 

“no i liked it. i’m just scared, but you can continue. please?” you leaned into his touch

“okay, i got you,” he smirked slightly and pushed his hand back under your skirt

let’s just say

you saw fireworks for the first time that night

and not any typical fireworks

as the weeks went on

you and arvin were inseparable 

everyday was a date and the both of you couldn’t be happier

one day he really surprised you

he got you and him tickets to some dinner and dance

“ain’t no way, you, arvin russell got these,” you looked down at the tickets in your hand

“gee thanks darlin’, but yes. i did get these, for us,” he stuffed his hands in pockets and looked down at the ground sheepishly

you let out a loud squeal that scared the hell out of him

you jumped into his arms and crushed his bones while hugging him

he laughed softly and held you up, spinning you around

honestly, you thought the two of you would just go for the food

for some reason you didn’t think he’d like the dancing

but oh were you wrong

again

“c’ mon beautiful,” he begged and dragged your hand toward the dance floor

“i don’t know about dancing baby, you know me,” you whined and hesitantly followed

“oh yes i do know you y/n. and i know i got you tied around my finger. so you know damn well you’re going to dance with me right now,” he said lowly underneath his breath, leaning close toward your face

his hot breath fanning your skin and sending chills throughout your face

cocky motherfucker

you huffed and glared up at him, “yea i know, i know.”

“okay perfect, follow my lead gorgeous,” he placed his hands around your hips while he brought your arms to snake around his neck

“n-now what?” you said awkwardly, your body still a bit stiff

usually he’d hate to do this in such a crowd but since you were there with him

he felt like it was just you and him

all alone

that’s always how you made him felt 

like it was you and him against the world

“i got you. alright? just move with me, it’s just you and me. don’t focus on nobody but us,” he murmured softly and began to sway

you smiled timidly and swayed along with him

you kept your eyes on your shoes, afraid to step on him

“don’t worry about that, just look at me angel,” he reassured

you sighed and looked back up at him, “mk. since when did you dance?”

“mama taught me when i was a kid, she’d dance with me,” he confessed sheepishly

your eyes softened 

“i love you,” you nuzzled your nose against his

his heart hammered in his chest at those three goddamn words

“shit,” he mumbled as his cheeks burned red

“w- what?” you said a bit panicked, about to pull back

he pulled your body closer and embraced you while pressing his lips against yours

you complied and kissed him back, smiling against his lips

he moved back and placed his forehead against yours, “i love you a lot more, flower.”

and right then and there

you just knew you were the luckiest girl in the world

to be able to be with someone like him

to be able to go on dates like these with arvin russell

Synopsis: How you met Akaashi, Iwaizumi & Suga! + How things go down when you two realize you go to the same school!

Genre: Fluff

A/N: I’m kinda shy on posting bc my notifs are on and y’all are so nice to me 🥺 feel free to send requests at any time and I’ll get to them ASAP! KITHES ❤️

Update: I’m posting twice today! Check out my other writings below or just find your way around my page! 💞

✿ Masterlist ✿ ✿ Find Your Way Around ✿

Akaashi:

• It was one of his rare days off of Volleyball and babysitting so he went to pick up a new book to keep himself distracted on bus rides and downtime

• You were Visiting the book store to pick up a new book as well after reading so many good reviews about it - you loved reading with all the downtime you had

• As you reached the book store you made your way to the isle the books genre was, before picking up the book - the last copy!

• You smiled before hearing a sigh behind you and turning to see a boy your age looking at the book in your hand

“Looks like the last copy.”

• You looked down at your hands before handing it to him smiling slightly

“I can just purchase it on my phone.”

• You wouldn’t because it wasn’t the same but you could always come back and buy it another time, you were feeling nice today

“No no, you were here first I can find another book.”

• He smiled at you returning it but you didn’t accept it, you held your smile coming up with an idea.

“You can read it and if we ever meet again, you can let me borrow it?”

• He smiled, nodding and walking off with the book before stopping in his tracks before looking at you again.

“Akaashi.... My names Akaashi.”

“Y/N.”

• He continued walking as you smiled turning around and scanning through more books to buy.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

• Yeah you began seeing Akaashi everywhere around school now - it’s not that you didn’t know he existed you just never knew him personally.

• You also didn’t know he was so popular with the girls, sadly now known to you.

• He’d also notice you more, walking and reading your book, eating and reading your book. Definitely thought it was cute

“And I didn’t even spike it hard enough to break a vase- what are we looking at?”

• Once Bokuto found out, he was so excited to meet you.

“I’m captain and ace!”

“That’s so cool!”

• Akaashi loved how much enthusiasm you had talking to Bokuto, and he was glad the crazy owl haired boy befriended you because now he could too.

• Bokuto got Akaashi to ask you on a date to which you obviously said yes to

• You two spent a lot of time sharing thoughts about certain books, going on dates and taking care of Bokuto

“I’m just saying Hinata and Tsukki could be your kids!”

“No ❤️ we have enough with you 🧚🏻‍♀️✨🥰💞”

“Akaashi 😔”

• One certain date confused you as Akaashi brought you flowers and a gift

“What is it?”

“If I tell you it ruins the surprise - that’s what wrapping papers for hun.”

• You rolled your eyes playfully only to have a book left in your hands with wrapped paper on the floor

“The book! Aw I never got to read it!”

• He watched you gush over it and smiled, he swore he fell in love with you all over again

“Stop staring at me I’m shy!”

Iwaizumi:

• It was a New Year and what did that come with? New Years Resolutions!

• January 2nd, you began to regret saying everything about going on a morning run every morning

• but here you were, dressed in your running clothes with a hoodie to help the cold

• As you started running you felt your body temperature warm up as you got tired after a few minutes but still pushed yourself

• you looked to your right to see a certain brown haired boy pass you

“Bruh rude.”

• you picked up your pace and passed him - as you should queen 😗

• BUT HE PASSED YOU AGAIN!

• This turned into a competition of who could continued to run longer

• He won, but only because you began dying on all the air you weren’t getting 😣

• This became a daily thing because you two wanted to see your cute running partner every morning during you twos winter break!

• Neither of you spoke a word to each other though - it was just constant running and pushing each other to your limits.

• It wasn’t until you saw his friend jog up to him on your last morning running day and noticed who his very popular friend was, Oikawa, that you remembered who he was, but it was too late because Oikawa dragged him off.

“Oi! Shittykawa let me go!”

“Iwa-Chan you don’t have to be so mean!”

“Then stop being shitty!”

“Iwa-“

• You giggled at their banter before running back home, Iwaizumi watching your retreating figure, sighing.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

• When Oikawa approached you a few days after school resumed - you hated it here 💞 not because of Oikawa but because of all the ugly looks from fans that came with him approaching you

“Y/N! Please you have to meet with Iwa! He’ll shred me to pieces for not letting him catch your name! Please!”

• You looked at the setter who was on his knees

Y/N: 👁👄👁, Oikawa-San please get up!

• What a weird sight this would be, Oikawa on his knees begging for you to just go to the gym after school and you frantically waving your arms around saying ‘alright’ and ‘Oikawa get up PLEASE!’ He’s so dramatic but Iwaizumi was holding a grudge against him

• You kept your promise and walked to the volleyball gym after school and mentally prepared yourself

This is a bad idea, What if he doesn’t want to see me?, stupid Oikawa what if he’s pranking me? I could be eating a good sandwich right now on the way home-

• Your own thoughts were cut off by the door swinging open and knocking you down ❤️

“Shit! Are you okay?”

• You looked up to see your classmate Mattsun with his hand out, which you took. Oikawa was laughing like a manic right about now

• Iwaizumi asking what Oikawa was laughing about before he saw you, his face now glowing a bright red as you gave him a shy wave

• Oikawa laughed even harder and called for a break to which Iwaizumi walked over to you

“Y/N, I don’t think I ever told you but my name is Y/N.”

“I like that... The names Iwaizumi.”

“Yeah your friend practically kept screaming Iwa-Chan while on his knees asking me to come here.”

“No! No I didn’t-“

• Makki and Mattsun had teased Oikawa for getting on his knees and begging to which Iwa just yelled at him for being embarrassing

• That became your life as his girlfriend soon, hearing the bickering and the taunting. You sometimes felt bad for Oikawa so you stood up for him at times

Y/N: Boys don’t be so mean

Oikawa: Y/N-Chan loves me! Unlike you guys!

Iwazumi: I’ll choke you trashykawa, she’s my girlfriend

Oikawa: Not without my help!

• Yeah this was a common argument

Sugawara:

• You and Kiyoko were friends and you met Suga at Kiyoko’s birthday gathering!

• It happened when Noya and Tanaka saw you and Kiyoko hug and noticed you were her best friend

“Please date me!”

“Get me a date with my beautiful Kiyoko!”

• as you slowly backed away scared for your life Suga gabbed the two by their collars and yanked them back

“I’m sorry about them, they can be quiet a handful.”

“I told you two not to be weird during Kiyoko’s birthday party!”

• You spent a lot of time that night celebrating Kiyoko’s birthday at chatting with the sweet boy who saved you earlier

• He definitely had to get hyped up by Daichi to ask for your number

• You obviously gave it to him and Kiyoko was making fun of you

Noya: Not fair Senpai - why do you get to ask for her number but when I ask for a date everyone freaks out

• you two made plans to hang out in the future and definitely were both excited about it

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

• Things don’t always go as planned and you ended up seeing him at school

• How you hadn’t seen him before was beyond you but he saw you when you were walking with Kiyoko and laughing with her, he was giving you big puppy dog love eyes when Daichi sighed and pulled him to go say hi to you

• He got really happy when he saw you smile a bit bigger as they approached

• What he wasn’t expecting was to see you looking through your backpack all the sudden

“I put it in here somewhere - there’s that fork I was looking for earlier- AH HA!”

• He died when you pulled out a little volleyball keychain with a tiny crow you hooked onto it and a #2 charm

“I made this for you the other day! You were telling me all about how you played and I just thought you’d like it...”

• His eyes twinkled with adoration and he immediately took it and put it on his bag thanking you with a hug Kiyoko had to drag you to class because you were love struck and frozen

• he keeps it on his bag and he makes sure he has it for every game - he wouldn’t trade it for the world

“This? Y/n made it for me! It’s awesome huh?”

• It wasn’t too long after that he had finally asked you on a date and you guys made it official - so you would spend a lot of time next to Kiyoko at games

Noya: They’re like Goddesses...

Suga: Yeah 🥺🥰💞

• This man is a simp for you don’t let him get away

[ri-ahhh]

can u just give me mushy gushy shit with grayson like ethan has a girl over so the two of you decide to go out for a burger date and a walk at night? idk something like that pls 👉🏻👈🏻

A/N: I couldn’t even tell you how long this has been sitting in my drafts but I was looking through trying to find something to finish bc I was in the mood to write but not from scratch and found this lol. It was about halfway done and I have no idea where I was going with it but this is what it turned into as of today. Idek if there’s even anyone around here anymore to read this but whatever haha here it is.

You don’t usually mind being single. Even when your best friend/roommate Stella started seeing her boyfriend Charlie seriously, it didn’t give you any longing for a relationship of your own.

But there are some nights where you feel down and you just can’t handle it. The scenes of casual intimacy as soon as you get home and see them together — the vase of flowers on the kitchen island he must have brought over; the playful bickering across the room.

The incessant, unrelenting sound of a marathon session going on through the shared wall of your and Stella’s bedrooms.

You groan and turn the volume up on your AirPods, going straight to your messages next.

Wyd?

{G} 👀

Don’t be weird.

Pretty sure Stella and Charlie are trying to put a hole in the wall w her headboard and I can’t take it anymore.

Your roommate chooses that moment to let out a particularly enthusiastic “fuck!” If she weren’t your best friend, you might have given in to the urge to bang on the wall, but your phone lights up with Grayson’s reply anyway.

{G} E too.

{G} I mean like I can’t hear him but ik what’s going down in there

{G} I’d offer to pick u up but sounds like u need to get outta there lol. Meet me here?

You like the message and slip on some shoes, making sure to slam your bedroom door closed on your way out, as if it would make them pause even one thrust.

In the year that you’ve known him, Grayson Dolan has become one of your closest friends. The kind where you met as acquaintances, never talked much, but then you reconnected randomly and the conversation never stopped from there on. You talk about anything and everything, but recently you’ve bonded even more about being a perpetual third wheel. You knew he’d understand and not pass judgement on you in times like this, so it had been a no-brainer to text him as an escape from tonight.

He buzzes you into the gate when you get to his house, and he tells you over another text to go ahead and hop in the Porsche before he even gets outside. It makes you smile; night drives are your favorite, and while the Tesla is a vibe in its own right, there’s just something calming about someone (your attractive friend, no less) tangibly driving you around. It’s exactly what you need right now, no matter what destination he has in mind.

When he slides into the driver’s side not even a minute later, you’re almost overwhelmed by him. Looking far too good in your eyes for how casual he’s dressed in a well-fitting T-shirt and some grey sweats. Hair slightly damp from a recent shower.

He greets you with a grin and leans over the console to kiss your cheek, and you can smell the combination of his shampoo and a bit of cologne. You always appreciated that he doesn’t overdo the fragrance, and if possible it makes him even more intoxicating at times.

“Hey,” he says simply, sitting back in his seat and fastening the seatbelt.

“Hey.” You smile and watch him with a silent but fairly obvious appreciation as he reaches a hand to rest on the back of your seat, twisting the bit he needs to look out the back windshield. The Porsche has a backup camera, obviously, but he’s a cautious driver to a fault and insists he doesn’t fully trust them.

Grayson gets the car facing enough of the right direction to throw it in drive and exit down the long driveway. You shake your head and settle back, kicking off your shoes with a sigh and tucking your feet onto the seat beneath you.

“One day, we’ll be the ones making them leave the house,” he jokes, stopping for the gate to open.

You know it’s implied that he’s referring to the two of you with separate people, but you can’t help but consider the option that the two of you could make that happen together.

“I know for a fact you have a booty call list a mile long, Dolan,” you say with a raised brow. Despite the fleeting thought, keeping things lighthearted and platonic is much easier to deal with in reality. “You could have called one of them and done just that.”

He scoffs and pretends like you’ve just hurt him deeply, slapping a hand to his burly chest to clutch at his heart. “Excuse me, it is not a mile long.” He glances over at you with a held-back smirk. “A couple hundred yards, tops.”

You throw your head back with a loud cackle, looking out the window now as he turns onto the main road. “You’re incorrigible.”

“Damn, that’s a big word.” He likes to tease you about your extended vocabulary.

“Hopeless,” you elaborate, crossing your arms and rolling your eyes.

“Is that what that word means, or are you making fun of my high school dropout vocab?”

“Both.”

You let your head roll back against the headrest, turning to watch him, knees swayed to the side a bit. His form isn’t hidden in the dark at all, features lit up by the dash in front of him and the streetlights you’re passing by outside.

“Why didn’t you, then? Call one of them?”

Grayson shrugs. “Just didn’t really feel like spending time with people tonight.”

You’re silent for a moment and consider his answer. “Why did you agree to hang out, then? You didn’t have to.”

His eyes never leave the road, but you see the veins in his hand gripping the steering wheel bulge out for a moment as he squeezes it tightly.

“I guess I meant I didn’t want to spend time with people I don’t really care about.”

Your heart skips a beat, but you play it off with a sarcastic tone. “Aw, you care about me?”

“Of course I do,” he replies easily. “I’m not sure why, though. You’re so fuckin sassy sometimes.”

“You love it.”

The car rolls to a stop at a red light. Grayson’s hand slides from where it’s lightly gripping the gear shift, to yours, which is picking at a loose string on your leggings.

Your easy smile at the comfortable banter between you and Grayson falters some in surprise, but you let him turn your palm over and trace the lines of your hand softly. Both of your gazes are fixated on the way he tickles your skin when he says, “Yeah. I do.”

Your eyes shoot up, just in time to meet his. He looks at you with a weird mixture heat and vulnerability, and there’s a thick moment of silence, no longer than the single beat of your heart that you can hear thudding loud and clear in your ears, when suddenly the car behind you lays on the horn.

Both of you startle, and Grayson’s attention returns to the road ahead. He steps on the gas and takes his hand away, carding it through his hair roughly as you sink back into your seat with a disbelieving scoff.

“Oh my God, dude, you can’t just do that to me,” you blurt out, your heart in your stomach and your brain even lower. A helpless giggle escapes you, and you tug on your own locks. “Shit...”

“What?” he asks defensively, but you hear the tiny bit of the grin he’s wearing in his voice.

You turn your head to deadpan him, eyes wide. “You can’t just... imply something like that and give me sex eyes and not think you did something to me! Are you crazy?”

He gives a one-shouldered shrug with the arm resting on top of the steering wheel again. “Maybe. You’re proving my ‘sassy’ point all over again.”

“Oh my — don’t fuck with my head, Gray.”

“Hey.” His voice is deeper, more serious as the car comes to another stop. You’re only just now realizing you’ve reached the burger joint, and that the late hour made finding parking a nonexistent problem. He puts the car in park and unbuckles his seatbelt before doing the same to yours. “I’m sorry. I’m not trying to fuck with your head, I promise. I just... didn’t want it to seem like I was coming on too strong too suddenly. I, uh, have a history of doing that.”

You stare at him, processing everything. “I know.”

He chuckles dryly. “Yeah, I know you do.”

There’s more silence. That heavy kind that happened right after his little impromptu confession.

“You know,” you finally speak up, finding your voice after mulling over your words, “I kinda love that you’re a douche.”

He looks a little taken aback, until understanding dawns on him, and his eyes light up in a way that has you smiling instantly with him. “Really?”

You nod. “Call me crazy.”

Grayson shifts closer in his seat, his pink tongue darting out to lick those plump lips. You mirror him, and this time you take the initiative to reach out for his hand. It’s warm and strong, just like the rest of him.

Like earlier, you watch your hands lightly caressing each other as you speak. “And I love that you come on strong. And that you put your heart out there.” You interlace your fingers, immediately in love with the contrast of his huge ones between your slim ones. “Makes things way easier for me.”

He grins wide. “There’s that sass again.”

You bite your lip through your smirk and tug him close to you with your clasped hands, your free one reaching behind his neck to drag his lips to yours. “Mm. Better shut me up, then.”

Another thing Bon learns from Marce: Valentine's.

Marce doesn't know the history behind it but she knows what it's about, at least. She also has a healthy amount of dislike about capitalism's grasp on it but she's not 100% sure abt that bc that just came from Simon so idk don't take my word for it Bon.

Bon finds it cute as shit and wants to allot a day in the year for it. Marce thinks that's cute and hey she'll even perform some old love songs she remembers

So they prepare and tell the whole kingdom and Marce has to admit she's a little excited. She figured she might as well get something for Bon. As a friend ya know?

So, day comes, everything's just as planned. Well. Except for the insane influx of chocolates and flowers and gifts and what not for Bon.

In hindsight, she should have expected this. She is the princess (and their mother-creator thing) so of course they love her.

Marce looks at this and shrugs. She dumps her own gift (just some flowers she got from the other side of Ooo no biggie) and gets on with her performance. No one knows the songs, obviously, but they all still clap and are appropriately impressed at her skills.

It's not till before she leaves does she get something for her efforts.

They're at Bon's room (Marce always stays here for a bit before leaving, just chatting with Bon and doing whatever) and she's getting ready to go home when Bon casually asks if she could stay for a bit longer.

To sort through the gifts, you know?

Marce shrugs at this and floats her way to the bed. Before she could even pick up any of the gifts, Bon settles down next to her with the flowers she got her.

"I'm assuming this is from you?"

"No one's batshit crazy enough to go to where that thing grows, Bon" she laughs a little at her joke.

Bon smiles and looks at the flowers so softly. Something in Marce melts and she quietly hopes that she got Bon the best gift she'll get from these losers. She shakes that thought away and focuses on the gifts scattered on the bed.

Bon excuses herself for a second, "to find a vase for these plants", and lets Marce start opening the gifts.

She opens them up as gently as she could, being half demon and also vampire she's very much liable in breaking whatever is in the box. The first few were food (why... why would you wrap it up like a present? At least they put it in a box. Well, except for that one weirdo) some were seeds, the others were clothes that were either so tiny or so gigantic. Man, she's pretty sure she got Bon the best gift.

Then she gets to this one gift that's a motherfucking crystal she swore could only be gotten by someone of her strength.

Bon comes back at that moment, flowers in the vase, and sees Marce's petulant face. She puts the vase away and slides up next to her. "What's got you all scrunched up?"

Marce mumbles for a second then hands the rock over. Bon only notices it then and starts fawning over it. She picks it up and starts examining it with gusto. After around a dozen paragraphs, she turns to Marce and the question of where it could have come from dies on her tongue.

She puts it gently to the side and drapes herself dramatically over Marce. "Why are you being a sour puss?"

Marce sighs "Idk I just thought i got you a cool present and someone one upped me. Feel like i lost is all"

Bon hums at this. "I mean, yeah I guess that mineral is way cooler but so i kind of love yours more? Mostly cause it's from you to be honest"

"Oh." Marce feels really nice over that and she's pretty sure if blood still roamed around her body, it'd be rushing to her cheeks.

"Oh!" Bon suddenly sits up and jumps off the bed. She rummages through the little fridge she keeps in her room for a second and comes back up with a smile.

She walks up to Marce with a big smile and presents to her a little tupperware of strawberries.

Marce kinda looks at this quizzically. "Strawberries?"

"Yeah! I grew them myself! I did a lot of tweaking and adjusting to make the flavour translate through color too. There shouldn'tbe a difference in the taste as well even though i did notice it was different. I know you can still taste food, but you admit yourself that it's not as good as when you taste through color. So i tried to do my best with this one. I have like a hundred other strawberry bushes that aren't up to standard but yeah this is from the best so far."

She's rambling. Marce just watches her go on about how she made it and all that and now she's talking about the color wheel and it's s not her usual scientific rambling, but more. Her anxious rambling. From when she was half a century younger.

Okay why

Marce gently touches her hands and she snaps out of it. She turns several shades pinker and smiles unsure. She quietly offers the fruits again and Marce takes them gently.

She picks up one of the strawberries and examines it. There's a heavy and tense silence between them and she's not sure if what she's about to say and do is going to make things worse but hey fuck forward thinking.

"What does it taste like?"

Bon shrugs. "Well, if I did it right you should be able to taste it fully through the color."

"Nah Bon," marce presses the strawberry gently against Bon's lips, "what does it taste like?"

Bon hesitates for half a second before taking the gentlest bite. Marce is stares unabashedly as she chews slowly.

"It's sweet. Not overly so. The notes of acidity tells me I harvested them at just the right time."

Marce holds Bon's face gently, tilting her head towards her slightly. "You think I'd get the same taste?"

Bon leans into her hand "Maybe, only you can tell."

Marce pauses. She wishes she could say that she thought about what she was about to do. Say that this was the moment she said fuck it. Say that this was when she had all sorts of revelations and what not. But really? All she had in mind was "time to find out"

model!irene

i haven’t updated in so long, i’m so sorry!

when she first became a model, people were like… that face can't be real. it's photoshop or smth, it's so perfect

BUT NOPE

irene is literally just that beautiful

models for cosmetics, not really clothes too much

but when she does model for clothing lines, whatever she wore sold out in under five minutes

no one believes she’s a day over 20 when they first see her, they're always like…. ur either drinking straight outta the fountain of youth or ur really just that young

but they stop saying that when they see her with newbie model!yeri, because….. she's a whole mom

babies the hell outta yeri, and even though yeri is like… irene, pls…. i’m an adult

she still eats the crust-free, dinosaur shaped sandwhiches irene brings her with the biggest smile on her face

and that smile is the reason irene babies her so much

irene lives to make other people happy, and it's this trait that makes you fall super hard for her

ur an employ at the company irene is signed with, and it's not like ur in her immediate team or anything like that

u just recieve requests from people that want to work with the agency’s models, and it's ur job to sort out the request and either assign them a model if they haven't specified, or make sure the requests reach the desk of the specific model’s team

and it's a really good job! u like it, especially since an organized environment is what you love most in the world, and that's basically what ur doing for a living

but sometimes it gets stressful

bc the agency is so huge, it requires everyone to be on their a game at all times, and since it's basically just you doing the sorting, it can be…. overwhelming

and especially in the few months or so before spring is when it gets real hectic

because everyone wants models for photoshoots with blooming flowers and falling cherry blossoms

which you’ve handled before, it should be no big deal, and this year should be no different

but for some reason

when you go to work one day

you just….. can't

it's not like you sit at your desk and do nothing, but it's more like you're trying to do things, but keep making mistakes you’ve never made before

when it's an hour before your lunch break, you send out two stacks of requests, one for irene’s team, and one for seulgi’s team, because those two usually are more opinionated on which jobs they take on, and they'll probably need more time than yeri, joy, and wendy combined to decide

and ur like ‘cool, the requests are on their way, i need to stop stressing and chill a little, i got this.’

but right as you say this, an intern walks into ur office and looks kinda…. concerned?

and u know it's the intern from seulgi’s team, so ur like…. what happened with the requests, is something wrong?

and the intern kinda mumbles at first cause they don't want you to be upset, but eventually you make out that they're trying to tell you that…. irene and seulgi’s request still haven't been recieved

wat

“what do you mean they weren't recieved?”

“like… we got the message that we’d be recieving them today at 11:00 am, but….. we never got it.”

and you just snap because

oh my god

this is a major mistake, and you're going to be the one to take the blame

you tell the intern that you're going to fix it, and to go tell both seulgi’s and irene’s teams that it’ll be there soon

they nod and leave, and you begin to scavenge through all the scrunched up and tossed away notes to try and decipher which brand wanted who and what day and time and the benefits they offer with each job

and it's literal hell, because all your notes are so vague, because you immediately wrote them down on the official request forms for irene and seulgi so you wouldn't have to rewrite it later and waste time

without even realizing, lunch is long gone and it's nearing time for you to get off work

but there are at least ¼ of the requests missing from each girls’ pile and you're full on sobbing bc….. this sucks

and you're so stressed that you don't even realize someone entered your office until they timidly knock on the surface of your desk

you're somewhere between shocked and scared when you see it's irene, because a) you didn't even know she knew where your office was? and b) was she there to yell at you or fire you? because you will cry even harder if that's the case

but nah

before you can do anything, irene sets down a plastic container on your desk and pulls out a fork and a bottle of water from her purse and puts those in front of you as well

and that's when she really gets on ur fucking uwus, because she opens the container to reveal some crust-less, dinosaur shaped sandwiches with a fruit cup in the shape of stars on the side

“you didn't come out of your office all day, and the delivery guy didn't have your usual order when he stopped by the office earlier, so i….”

she kinda motions to the food, and looks down sheepishly, and ur all sorts of “wat” on the inside bc????

is irene a literal angel? probably

you thank her profusely and tell her she didn't have to do this, but she just gives you the softest smile and goes:

“i heard about what happened today. it's not your fault, but you're probably kicking yourself like it is. i just wanted to make sure you're not beating yourself up over this, because it makes me sad when you're stressed like that.”

irene has to leave shortly after that because she has a night shoot for this brand that came out with a new line of evening gown’s and irene was begged to model for it

but she makes sure to leave her number on your desk and tells you to text her if you're ever stressed and need someone to talk to

or if you wanna go on a taco date with her, but she says that part in her head bc she's like…. it's too soon for me to be this forward with them

sure enough, you do text irene a few days later, but it's not cause you're stressed

you actually ask her out to dinner to repay her for her kindness earlier

irene, in a meeting with her team, recieving ur text asking her out on saturday

manager: “what about this quick photoshoot for armani on saturday bc they're a top brand, and we really shouldn't say no to that??”

irene, feeling her heart ready to burst out of her chest: “no, i’m going to be living my dreams on saturday, k, bye :)”

you let irene pick the restaurant, and you thought it was gonna be fancy and expensive, bc, hello, super famous model??

but instead she goes “i know this taco truck”

if you weren't already in love with her at that point, YOU SURE AS HELL ARE NOW

so, you guys are sitting on this park bench at 11 pm

with four plates of tacos between the two of you

and you guys are telling stories and cracking jokes, and it’s honestly the best date either of you have ever been on

and at the end, irene just kinda lays her head on your shoulder and sighs so happily

“thank you for this, it’s been awhile since i’ve had this much fun.”

“maybe we could do this again sometime, then?”

irene suddenly snaps her head up to look at you with wide eyes, and is like “SERIOUSLY? OMG, CAUSE I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IF YOU HAD FUN TOO!”

“irene.... ur literally the human embodiment of happiness, i can’t be anything but in a good mood when i’m around u.”

something in irene just melts, and she’s like so happy that she pulls you in this giant hug and just starts to ramble about how happy she is and

and then she’s just like “i’m so happy you had fun, because i really like you, like a lot, and i would’ve been real sad if you didn’t have fun”

you just giggle and go “i like you too, okay? you can stop being so nervous now.”

and she relaxes and smiles, grabs your hand, entwine it with hers, and the two of you continue to talk and get to know each other even more

and that’s how you two start dating

y’all are the mom couple, y’all already knew this was coming

cutting fun shapes into yeri’s food so she thinks it's more exciting to ear her fruits and vegetables? check.

making sure joy doesn't break that vvv expensive vase while y’all are visiting locations for potential photoshoot’s? check.

helping wendy translate her thoughts properly when she’s too flustered to do so? check.

putting bandaids onto seulgi’s scrapes when she attempts to do some sport and takes it a little too seriously? check.

you two are just the resident angels, and everyone looks up to you two?? aspiring to be as great as you and irene are?

you two are really making the world a better place, bless

and you two take really good care of each other too! always making sure the other is eating properly and if the other is stressed that they have a shoulder to cry on or a person to love them unconditionally

it's gr8, and the rv members are so happy that irene has found someone with just as much love in their heart as she does, and isn't afraid to tell irene she's the love of their life every day

concept: irene has now taken a habit to eating lunch in your office. occasionally, the other rv members join too, but irene comes every day at noon with two sets of food and the biggest smile on her face. she always says that you're the best part about coming to work now.

florist!au jinyoung.

disclaimer: my friend and i made this a year ago under a read more because this is so long

your brother (kang dongho) owns a tattoo shop across the street from jinyoung’s flower shop and you work there too, you two live on the second floor of the tattoo shop and it’s great living w your brother

while your tattoo shop is run by you and your brother, jinyoung applied at the flower shop with his best friend daehwi for extra money

both jinyoung and daehwi have been intimidated by you and your brother for the longest time because once they saw you and your brother deadass just boot out an overly rowdy and rude group of drunk men from your tattoo shop

meanwhile jinyoung stutters every time he has to handle an order or a request, whether it’s directly or on the phone

but jinyoung’s also intimidated by you because you exude confidence and you’re just really pretty, like how could he not be

the most expressive facial expression jinyoung has seen from you is you glaring at dongho whenever dongho teases you

he stutters every time he says your name and daehwi’s like “mmm”

whereas daehwi is more terrified of dongho, jinyoung’s more terrified of you because at least he’s seen dongho laugh but you???? no you’re either tattooing some guy who’s at least three years older than you or glaring at your brother (playfully, but he doesn’t know that)

so anyway you have a boyfriend

at least you did until his sorry ass cheated on you

you had to physically stop dongho from whooping your ex boyfriend’s sorry ass

but right after you stop dongho from storming your boyfriend’s house you storm into the florist shop

daehwi screams and drops the bouquet he’s arranging 

(rip flowers, i’m sorry you had to be sacrificed for this scenario)

and jinyoung literally drops the cash and coins he’s sorting into cash register and the coins scatter everywhere

you just slam a twenty dollar bill on the counter

“how do i say ‘fuck you’ in flower language”

“weLL JINYOUNG LOOKS LIKE YOUR SPECIALTY I NEED TO GET BACK TO THE BOUQUET I DROPPED”

it’s more daehwi’s specialty since jinyoung usually handles the register and filters the requests through to daehwi but daehwi’s terrified and he shoves the dibs onto jinyoung quicker than jinyoung does to him

(then dongho follows you in, still heated about your boyfriend cheating on you and cracking his knuckles with a vein popping out of his neck and daehwi runs into the back room instead)

“d-dAEHWI????” jinyoung stammers out in utter nervousness

you’re clicking your nails against the counter, slightly impatient as you tap your foot because you just want to slap a ‘fuck you’ bouquet in your soon-to-be ex’s face

“u-u-uhm, l-let me g-get that f-for you” jinyoung scurries off to start arranging the most malicious bouquet he’s ever arranged

dongho: i think you scared the poor boy to death

you: oh shove it the blonde one literally dashed at the sight of you

dongho: *wistful sigh* oh, kids

you: they’re my age–

dongho: i wasn’t excluding you lmao

jinyoung hands you the bouquet with shaking hands and you’re pretty endeared but still in a rush to bitch slap your ex with the bouquet so you quickly thank him and zoom out of there without taking your change

dongho kinda just sighs apologetically and tells jinyoung to keep the change before chasing you so he can record the fiasco

daehwi peeks his head out of the backroom: are they gone

jinyoung, whispering and slightly dazed: yes

daehwi kinda just looks off after you: she’s something

jinyoung: sh-she’s pretty

daehwi: ... what did u say

jinyoung: n-n-nothING THE PHONE IS RINGING I GTG

the next day when you’ve calmed down, you stride into the flower shop again, this time to apologize for... basically scaring the wits out of them like you had no idea you had such effects 

jinyoung happens to be off shift today so daehwi takes the reigns

daehwi: you could apologize to jinyoung through text! i can give u his number

needless to say jinyoung doesn’t know whether to strangle or thank daehwi when he receives a text from you

“hey, i’m really sorry about yesterday! i didn’t mean to freak you guys out, i promise i’m not that scary, aaa”

he stares at the preview for a really long time before mustering the courage to reply, “it’s okay! don’t worry about it”

you guys end up texting and you tell him about all the horrible tattoos you’ve given people in all the worst areas 

and he just listens and sends the occasional grossed out emoji until you ask him to tell you more about him

at first it’s just the basics– school, family, interests– but he eventually ends up telling you about that one time daehwi plucked rose petals and scattered them around the shop and just strutted like it was a fashion runway with the fan blowing in his face

the next day jinyoung is sneaking peeks at his phone on the shift and softly smiling and daehwi deadpans at jinyoung and goes “i gave her ur number so she could apologize not for u to slack on the job”

in reality daehwi supports this 100% he loves seeing his best friend smile because it’s so cute but so rare

you and jinyoung continue to get to know each other and jinyoung realizes that you’re actually really laid back and you have a soft spot for the softest things....... quite the paradox given your exterior

sometimes during your break you head to the florist shop to hang out with jinyoung and daehwi 

dongho’s really proud that you finally have friends your age rather than you exposing all of his shit to aron whenever he gets his tattoos done or to minhyun, jonghyun, and minki whenever you get the chance

jinyoung arranges bouquets for the tattoo shop to add some color to the minimalistic black and white aesthetic the shop has going on

so one day instead of the usual multicolored bouquets jinyoung has for you, there’s a vase of red roses waiting

dongho, wiggling his eyebrows: well those definitely aren’t for me

later on you pay a visit to the flower shop and you pluck a blue peony from the bouquet of blue peonies before making your way to the counter

daehwi: did she just–

jinyoung: dude literally shut up

you stroll up to the counter and you look at daehwi and daehwi’s like ^ _______ ^ as he leaves you two alone (not really he just hides behind a flower arrangement)

you: i don’t know what flowers mean but i know what red roses mean and i remember your favorite flower is the blue peony so here

daehwi, whispering very loudly: the blue peony means good fortune and a happy marriage

you: th-that’s not what i meant

daehwi: little do you know, a good ten years from now–

jinyoung’s face literally resembles a red lollipop (bc his face is as small and red as one) as he stammers at daehwi for him to shut up and daehwi takes a picture and uses the “it’s getting harder to spot the difference” meme on jinyoung ALL THE TIME

anyway now the bouquets jinyoung makes for the tattoo shop always have a meaning for you and he writes down the meanings of each flower in each bouquet very carefully on a card

one time daehwi wins a dare and jinyoung has to get a surprise tattoo from you

you were sweet enough to simply tattoo and small blue peony on the back of his right shoulder

daehwi wanted you to prank jinyoung and give him a temporary one month tattoo of your face on his bicep but even you were mortified by that idea

jinyoung sighs in relief when he sees the tattoo

daehwi: i get it you wanna get married 

dongho: what is this i hear about marriage mY LITTLE SISTER IS SEVENTEEN

daehwi: eEK I GTG

one day dongho shows jinyoung the video he recorded of you bitch slapping you ex with the bouquet

“remind me neverto make her mad”

dongho: :-) she’s not the only one you have to worry about if you make her mad

also you’re baejin’s number one hypewoman now like you cheer him on for everything and it’s gotten to the point where he doesn’t stutter when he takes phone calls 

your next goal is to make it so that he doesn’t stutter during face-to-face orders

anyway sunflowers have nothing on bae jinyoung’s smile so u really better keep that smile on that boy’s face now that u’ve got him

[allofthisnonsenseplease]

More R76 discord plotting with firesonic152. ^^

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 lol oh--had a quick prompt idea earlier: Jack as a gruff nurse at a hospital that caters to wounded vets. He was a field medic, but got sent home after an explosion that nearly killed him and left him scarred. Gabe is one of hte patients at the hospital, newly returned from the front and very prickly, though Jack catches glimpses of a passionate person beneath the face Gabe presents to the world.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 OMG gabe gets along well with jack bc jack is too grumpy to care about stuff like pity or sympathy

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 ^^ they start up a stitch n bitch in the rec room

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 LOL jack is very good at ranting angrily about things which means there isn't that awkward dynamic of the nurse trying to start a conversation and gabriel having to decide how much info he really wants to share jack just. launches right into something and gabriel listens along

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 when Jack works doubles, he'll sometimes sneak in a nap next to Gabe's bed if he's really really beat, 'cause he knows Gabe'll chase people off if it's not an emergency.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 omg QwQ

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 maybe sometimes when Jack gets too tired or stressed it begins to affect his vision, so it's important he rest when his body tells him he needs to

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 QwQ we need to contrive a reason for jack to sleep IN gabe's bed at one point >w>

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 someone stole all the chairs. XD maybe he goes to sleep in a chair, but wakes out of a nightmare and Gabe basically hauls him into bed and forces him to lay there and relax? like, not necessarily a panic-attack inducing nightmare, but just something sad

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 omggg and it's the first time gabe's seeing him sleep in an actual bed and he absolutely melts when he discovers how jack likes to curl up in a little ball

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack totes wears dinosaur scrubs. like, the first thing he says when he meets Gabe--not even making eye contact with him--is just: 'don't let the dinosaurs fool you. i'm not nurse sunshine. here's your meds.'

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 OMG gabe instantly likes him

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Gabe looks at this big, buff, scarred dude who is more interested in his chart than him, and asks 'That really something you get often enough that it has to be part of your greeting?' Jack finally looks at him and smiles very faintly. 'You would be surprised.'

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 arrow right to the heart gabe's already down

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 XD

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 just fuck him Right up

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 lol much much later on in this one, Jack comes in wearing owl scrubs, and before Gabe can ask, he's just: 'I needed a new set, and they were out of dinosaur ones.'

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 AWWWW gabe says "i was just gonna say owls are my favorite animal" with a tiny little smile jack knows. that's why he picked them god gabe

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack knows. Gabe has mentioned this before. XD

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 LOL

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 lol whoops

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 >w<

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack a little too roughly insists that that has NOTHING to do with it. Gabe swears that his cheeks went a bit pink before he booked it out of the room.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 jaaaaaack

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Gabe starts calling him Nurse Sunshine and Jack just grimaces every time and threatens to switch Gabe's meds if it catches on.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 omgggg gabriel goes all flirty and says "okay how about just sunshine then because you're the light of my life" and jack straight up smacks him

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 XD Gabe, he has a carefully cultivated reputation to maintain here.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 ..... HOLY SHIT NURSE JACKIE

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 -'.'- Sorry?

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 I THINK THAT'S A TERRIBLE TV SHOW ABOUT TERRIBLE PEOPLE I remember my mom watching it XDDD LOL YEAH it's a super like. depressing show about a nurse in a shitty hospital and she's always drinking and stuff well

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 haha no thanks :D

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 yeah not for me either ^^;

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 okay but--if Gabe got sent back for losing his legs, and he's in a wheelchair while he heals up before they get him prosthetics and into the rehabilitation exercises and what not--him and Jack fucking with each other. Gabe trying to run Jack down in the halls, Jack parking Gabe in a corner and sticking a door stop behind his wheels so he can't move the chair and Gabe's just shouting at him as he walks away 'JACK YOU FUCKING FOSSIL I AM A GODDAM WAR VET IF YOU THINK THIS IS GONNA STOP ME YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING I'LL CRAWL AFTER YOU AND BITE YOUR LEGS OFF SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT'

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 AHAHAHA he starts stealing lines from monty python JUST A FLESH WOUND JACK!!!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 He's got HUGE...tracts of land!

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 LOLLLLL jack: are you. flirting with me. through monty python

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 HAVE BEEN FOR A YEAR BUT THANKS FOR NOTICING

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 LOL

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack is just: '...Gabe, I have a face like a pickax accident and I threaten your life almost daily. What the fuck, bro?'

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 XDD gabe gives jack flowers and jack just kinda stares at them and says "it feels pretty backwards for a patient to give a nurse flowers doesn't it"

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 he got Jack a balloon shaped like a brontosaurus, too. ^^

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 OMG

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack puts the flowers in a vase in Gabe's room. Looks at him, and goes: 'I'm keeping the balloon.' and leaves.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 EEEEE gabe sits back grinning. jack kept the balloon. mission accomplished.

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 and Jack left the flowers to be sure Gabe would have something cheery nearby. -^^-

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 THE FLOWERS WERE A DECOY!! awwwww!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 big ol' softie

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 does gabriel ever try the cheesy af "kiss it better" thing

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 I WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF HE DIDN'T ((also, momentary kinda sad suggestion--when Gabe is eventually discharged and gets to go see Jack's apartment, the place is pretty bland for the most part and lacks color and personality, but Jack's room is particularly dim and messy...except for the still-inflated dino balloon Gabe gave him which is sitting on top of his clothes chest.))

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 QOQ AHHHHH does jack get to move in with gabriel qwq

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 vice versa, prolly. Maybe Gabe doesn't have any family that can put him up, so Jack offers his couch while Gabe looks for a job and a place, but he just never ends up moving out bc they get together <3

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 <33333 and gabriel insists on brightening up the place

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 YES

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 hangs up pictures and paints walls and everything

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 the day he moves in, he brings Jack a whole herd of dino balloons

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 turns out he's very good at reupholstering furniture too awwww!!!!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack is just: '...i can kill you in your sleep.' Gabe: Then who would refuse to put up with your bullshit? Here, go find them nests in your crap or whatever. Jack tries to not, but he can't resist.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 qwq and when gabe initially moves in they're not quite boyfriends yet they kinda know they like each other but they haven't REALLY done anything yet

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 -^^-

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 and so boundaries and stuff are very confusing at first gabe sleeps on the couch (jack offers him the bed but gabriel insists) and it takes almost no time for gabe to move into the bed with jack

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 ((but but--the bed thing being an ice breaker. Gabe comes into Jack's room at dark o clock one morning and wakes Jack up and says 'Your couch is crap.' and Jack just grumbles back 'Couch store is closed.' Gabe doesn't move, so Jack sighs and lifts up a corner of the blankets and Gabe sits down & takes off his prosthetics to curl up and go to bed. He reaches out to pinch Jack's toes, and jokes 'Jesus, Jack, your feet are colder than mine!' Jack grumbles at him and reaches out to swat him, but it turns into something more like ruffling his hair as Gabe settles in. Turns out they're both cuddlers.))

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 AHHHHHHHHHH and jack did his napping in gabe's hospital bed before but it's not at all like this gabriel wants to kiss him SO badly but he can't tell if that's an okay thing to do yet

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 <3<3<3 Jack's all full of mixed signals in this one XD Oh! When Gabe gets back from his job the next day, there's an owl-shaped pillow waiting for him on the couch. Jack looks at him, then glances away. 'Just wanted to make sure you saw it,' he mutters and heads back for his room, leaving the door open. When Gabe comes in to put the pillow on the bed, Jack doesn't have any objections.

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 AHHHH CUTE

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 as thanks for all the dinosaurs -^^- jack doing his best to be sweet

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 BOY KISS HIMMMM hhhhh when do they kiss for the first time

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai don't know o_o;;;

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 maybe jack is going off to work and gabriel is like "bye babe<3" and jack gives him that silent blank stare, gives him a quick peck on the corner of his mouth, and leaves

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 what if Jack keeps clumsily trying to return the affectionate gestures Gabe makes? Like, Gabe usually cooks, but Jack attempts to make them dinner one night, burns part of it, doesn't get one of the side dishes done till half an hour after everything else, burns his fingers, makes a mess of the kitchen and swears a bunch--fuck ups like that

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 omggg I LOVE THAT

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 and finally, Gabe is just: 'here, look, if you're trying to tell me something, let me see if I got the message.' and smooch

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 eeeeeeeeee

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 aaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Jack just out of the blue like that!!! XD Gabe was just kidding around and didn't expect the kiss!

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 I LIKE BOTH

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 SO DO I

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 maybe jack does that thing and then neither brings it up again. until gabriel goes in for the Real smooch

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 Jack does the thing, and Gabe rationalizes it as more of his twisted sense of humor, plus he was just coming off a double and there's no one at the hospital to be sure his sleep isn't interrupted anymore so he might ahve just been sleep addled there was that weird long pause just before. it was probably just another joke, right? RIGHT? meanwhile, the rest of Gabe's brain is setting off fireworks and popping champagne bottles maybe Gabe gets home from work that night and it's when Jack has made dinner and Gabe kisses him for realsies

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 QWQ

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 XD 'cause Jack fucked up the kiss, too!

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 DAMMIT JACK YOU SUCK AT THIS

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 everytime Jack tries to be sweet it comes of as at least slightly awkward

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 I LOVE THAT SO MUCH so does gabe apparently

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 XD he tries so hard, bless his heart

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 gabe has such heart eyes actual image of gabriel: :heart_eyes:

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 XD

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED IN THIS ONE IT'S JUST BEEN SMOOTH SAILING START TO FINISH

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 uhm. gabe lost his legs

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 .... WELL YEAH BUT IF HE DIDN'T LOSE HIS LEGS HE WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN MARRIED

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 YOU MISSED THE CHANCE FOR ANOTHER PYTHON REFERENCE HE GOT BETTER XD

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 LOLLLL NOOO!!! lmao imagine jack hadn't seen monty python and didn't get all the reference gabe was throwing at him he thought gabe was just saying nonsense so gabriel has to sit him down to watch it

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 eeeeeee!

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 he OOPS XD

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 also, also--when it comes time to propose, Jack gets the rings, but he just shoves the box at Gabe and says 'You do it' 'cause at this point both of them know he would fuck it up somehow. XD

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 kjadnadsjfnKJNDF CUTE

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 so Gabe gets to plan a big romantic proposal and Jack can just relax and accept

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 qWq also back to the monty python thing. gabriel spends the whole movie watching jack and is delighted when jack actually laughs at some of the jokes jack is such a stone faced bitch in this one LOL

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 !!!!!! <3<3<3 HE IS AND I AM GETTINGA  KICK OUT OF IT! XD

firesonic152 – 09/03/17 ME TOO

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/03/17 actually, we've had several lately I've really enjoyed. I need to go back and save these soon. ^^

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 >w< now i'm thinking about jack lovingly riding gabriel in this one lol bc gabe doesn't feel like wearing his prosthetics anymore, he wore them all day and his legs are achey and he just wants to lie in bed so jack settles on top of him and takes care of it

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 aaaaaaaaaaaaa jack crawls on top of him wearing his resting bitch face as he kisses all up Gabe's thighs and stomach and chest, right up to his lips and he just grinds against Gabe for a bit, then he sits back, and he's still all stone faced, but that starts to soften as he works himself open, and it disolves away completely as he takes Gabe in

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 EEEEEEEEEEEE gabriel is so gone. he falls in love all over again.

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 <3

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 and jack does that silent stare but this time his face is soft and open - not smiling, but relaxed and in love gabriel has to kiss him

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 he's so eager about it that Jack actually laughs--just a short huff of breath, really, but it goes straight to Gabe's heart.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 gabriel is so ready to cry. "stop making me fall in love with you," he admonishes jack. "it's not fair"

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 'How is it not fair?' Jack sounds almost offended, and Gabe lets go just long enough to get a good look at his face and realize that what the awkward love of his life probably meant was: 'You do the exact same thing to me.'

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 AHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M DEAD THIS IS JUST NONSTOP SUGAR THIS IS LIKE.. FUCKIN PIXIE STICKS

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 =9 they're war vets. let them be happy.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 GAHHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH BUT MY IMPULSE IS TO BREAK IT STOP ME

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ...break it how?

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 IDK WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THAT NOW I WANNA COME UP W SOMETHING

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 last time i recall asking you to tell me one thing, you told me the opposite XD

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 XDDD the only thing i can see ruining this is jack's self-loathing tbh like after some particularly bad days he gets it into his head that gabriel deserves better and all that. but it's okay bc gabriel isn't scared of jack's attempts to drive him away!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ah, so the colorful dino scrubs were a clever attempt to mask the crippling self loathing after all? XD

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 NATURALLY have you SEEN his apartment??

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 lol p sure i suggested it XD just wasn't sure how deep we wanted to go down that particular rabbit hole

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 yep XDDD jack tries very hard to convince gabriel to leave him but gabriel figures out very quickly what he's doing and just kinda shrugs it off not very effective!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 Jaaaaack. What are you doing? Ohhh...you know what? He really could get serious about that and kick Gabe out of his apartment. Like, he wouldn't do it unless he was sure Gabe was financially stable, I think, but that's an option.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 ahhhhhhhh QoQ he does it after gabriel finally confronts him about trying to drive him away

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 SHIT HE'S ONTO ME

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 gabe is like "i see what you're trying to do jack but it's not going to work. i'm in love with you and i'm not going anywhere." and jack just kind of snaps in a fit of madness and tells him to get out.

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ohhh jackie. if you weren't in a downward spiral before... =(

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 :(((((( gabriel has to go and stay with ana for a little bit

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 my brain is already trying to skip ahead to the make up argument XD

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 LOL i'm caught on the part where jack is spiraling in his dark empty apartment

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 oh dear what if Gabe keeps calling him? and, like, the only sound in there with Jack is the phone ringing. and he's curled up in bed with his arms over his ears and his fingers clenched in his hair, listening to it ring and hating himself for sending Gabe away and hating himself for not even being able to end that properly and hating himself for not wanting the phone to go silent and cut off that last, fragile connection. And also kinda hating himself for being too chickenshit to answer.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 AKSJNFSAKJNF THAT HURTS

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 So he finally picks up, and Gabe starts talking, saying that they need to discuss this, but Jack just mumbles kinda tonelessly 'I'm not good enough for you.' and Gabe snaps back 'Who are you to say what's good enough for me??' and that starts to get a rise out of Jack, because he was there when Gabe was first brought in, and he saw him hurting and struggling and fighting and staying positive through it all and Gabe fucking shines. Jack wasn't hurt nearly as bed, but he's just a shut down shell of what he used to be. And he snaps back 'I'm your doctor' and almost hangs up, but Gabe is quick with his response. 'The hell you are! You're my friend Jack, and more than that if you'd stop letting your fears lead your life for you!' There's silence for a minute, before Gabe tries for a bit of their old humor. 'Besides, you're a nurse, not a--' Jack hangs up.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 GABRIELLLL JAAAAAAAAAACK gabriel has to be jack's nurse this time!!! take care of him gabriel!!!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 lol Maybe Gabe starts hanging out in the rec room at the hospital or something?

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 ((side note: jack spends much of his time in bed curled around the owl pillow))

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 Gets a couple of the patients rooting for him. One of them lets him know when Jack has borrowed a spare bed for a nap, and Gabe goes to sit in and play watchdog like he used to.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 awwwwwwww qoq

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ((ohh Gabe left it for him ;u;))

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 omg jesse is there bc he lost his arm! he's gabe's best wingman!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ((it was Gabe's favorite thing--he would bring it into the living room to hug it on the sofa when they watched stuff)) GO JESSE!! =D

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 Jesse is very good at figuring out where Jack is napping and tipping off Gabe

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 Jack wakes up one day and asks Gabe tiredly why he keeps following him around there. And Gabe's just 'Well, I could go home with you. I still have my key, you know.' He hasn't used it because he's not trying to take away all Jack's hiding places. 'Give it back,' Jack says, but there's no heat to the words, and he turns his face into the nest of his folded arms. 'Do you really want me to?' When Jack doesn't answer for a minute, Gabe tries a different question. 'Do you still have all those stupid balloons?' Jack nods. 'You looked pretty happy when I gave them to you. And I was pretty happy being able to give them to you. That's worth something, isn't it? Making each other happy?' 'I'm not--' 'Don't bullshit me, Jack. You saying I don't deserve to be happy?' Jack's head shoots up. 'No! You do! I--It's me that--' 'You make me happy, Jack. Let me do the same for you.'

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 KAJNCSXKJNAKSXJN QOQ YEAH JACK!!!! LET HIM BE HAPPY Jack huffs and retorts, "Am I making you happy now?" and Gabe says "Well not right at this very second but-" Jack cuts him off and says, "Exactly, Gabe, I do shit like this and I'm gonna hurt you even more." then gabe gets to give him a speech about how life is full of both happiness and misery and if you're gonna inevitably be miserable at some point, you might as well take what happiness you can get "Wouldn't you rather be miserable sometimes and happy other times than just being miserable all the time?"'Gabriel asks evenly, "I would."

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ;u; gaaaaaaaabi

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 It does seem so simple when Gabe puts it that way. But Jack knows unending misery turns into white noise after awhile, just a numb blandness that settles over everything. It's more bearable than having happiness taken from you. It's like a white hot knife with serrated edges sawing out your lungs. It's so much easier to just accept a gray world. But.... Jack already knows before he makes his decision. It's worth it.

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 TTuTT atta boy jackie

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 cries Jack tries to have sex with Gabriel that night but they end up just snuggling

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ;u;

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 He gets on top of Gabriel and starts grinding and stuff but he just,.. he just wants Gabe to hold him

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 did i ever send you the lyrics for Signal i the sky by Matt hires, 'cause it's good for this one. ;u;

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 omg you didn't!!

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/matthires/signalinthesky.html

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 I'M EMOTIONAL

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 TTuTT

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 hold him tight gabe qoq

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 and then, of course, lots of hard work coming to terms with emotional issues, but also lots more silly gifts and awkward but heartfelt reciprocation

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 qwq like uhhhh question for jack WHY ARE YOU SO SET ON EVERYTHING GOING BAD

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 um. dude? my friend? that was all you XD it was good. it was fine! XD

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 oh yeah oops

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 Jack was a grump, but it was all happy and sweet. XD

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SuspiciousPopsicle – 09/04/17 i mean, i guess you could have just had him get hit by a bus or go blind and have to cope with that.

firesonic152 – 09/04/17 oH MY GOD DUDE WE SHOULD DO THAT LOL
