@steddie-week, day 3: first kiss

"It’s quite stupid when you think about it," Eddie says, breaking up Steve's stupor.

Steve looks at him, once again trying to ignore all of the tubes and wires that connect him to numerous hospital machines. He’s pretty good at ignoring their beeping, but the sight is still quite daunting.

"What is?" Steve asks, leaning towards Eddie. His lips are all cracked and dry, so Steve takes his reliable towel, wets it and taps them gently. He knows it’s pointless, the effect of this action is the exact opposite of what he’s aiming to achieve, but he knows that Eddie likes the cold feeling of the towel on his always too hot skin. He’ll sneak some chapstick later anyway.

"That I’m dying without actually having lived for a day," Eddie replies.

It’s everything Steve was too scared to hear.

"That’s bull—"

"Is it?" Eddie scoffs. "For how long, exactly, have I been awake for the last few days?"

"That doesn’t mean you’re dying, Eddie, it means that the fight is still in you."

Eddie’s eyes are hollow and dark. "I don’t feel it anymore," he says, but barely. Steve can’t imagine his pain, he can’t imagine how hard it actually is to fight like Eddie’s fighting, but he can imagine how it feels to give up.

He won’t allow it.

"Alright," he says, straightening up, ready for a challenge. "Tell me what it is that you think you haven’t had in your life. I’ll prove to you that it’s worth the fight."

Eddie looks at him dumbly for a second, having expected wallowing and doubt, but receiving mild optimism instead. Upon the growing silence, Steve’s confidence starts to melt at a worrying pace. Eddie’s still staring at him quietly, his eyes scanning Steve’s face with more curiosity than offense.

Then, miraculously, Eddie starts to giggle. The sound seems fragile and dim, but it’s there. It’s real. Steve smiles with him despite himself.

(It’s so, so lovely to hear him laugh. It’s so rare and precious Steve wants to capture it and make some good luck charms out of it. It sure as hell brings him joy and good fortune.)

"Oh, Stevie, I know you have good intentions, but I’m afraid you can’t help with what I don’t have."

Steve frowns. "And why is that?" He’s plenty useful, isn’t he?

Eddie sighs, resigned. His head rests heavily against the pillow.

"What I don’t have… It’s something much more intricate than things you could buy or find, let’s say." He chances a look at Steve, who urges him to continue with a pointed stare. He’s not giving up. "It’s, uh—" Eddie’s eyes jump around the room. He makes a pause. "It’s love that I’ve never had. Amongst many."

"And now that’s bullshit!"

"It’s not!" Eddie counters immediately, looking back at him sharply. "I’m not talking about… I don’t know, how Wayne loves me, or about how the kids or my friends do, because I know it’s real and it’s important and I love them back, but—not a single person, ever—"

"Again, it doesn’t mean it will never happen!"

And there it is, again. A pang, some sort of discomfort, some sort of unexplained pain when he thinks about Eddie in love with someone, even if it’s someone who treats him right, loves him back, someone of whom Wayne approves without a word of doubt.

For Steve it’s been months of mulling it over. Months of sitting next to either this or Max’s bed, months of debating, months of hoping, of understanding what’s behind this constant need of belonging here and nowhere else. Then weeks of stolen conversations and exchanged glances when Eddie started coming around more often. Months of ups and downs, with more downs that he can count. But he’s been here, and it means something.

It means, maybe, that it could be him after all.

"Well, Steven, it’s kinda hard to believe that if you’ve never even—never been kissed, or—or looked at in a way that indicates—I mean, yeah," he scoffs again. "Whatever."

"No," Steve says, softly. His hand finds its way near Eddie’s; not touching, but near enough to feel its warmth. To be close. His pinky barely touches Eddie’s. "We can change that."

Eddie frowns, a flurry of emotions flashing across his face. What Steve’s afraid of now is mockery – not Eddie mocking him, but Eddie assuming it’s the other way around. He looks deeply into Eddie’s eyes, screaming with honesty, begging him to understand that Steve understands, too.

"I want it real," Eddie whispers.

"It will be. If it’s me you’re worried about."

"Oh," he breathes out, blinking slowly. "Yes, then… Uh. Prove it?"

It’s supposed to be an imperative, but it comes out as a question. Steve smiles softly with a corner of his mouth.

No one would be able to tell that his heart is about to jump out of his chest.

It’s a bit hard to navigate. Eddie’s breathing is shallow, and the tubes and bandages around his face and neck demand some extra caution, but his fingers finally find their way to Eddie’s hair. He strokes the curls lightly, thinking about how soft they are despite months of improper care. Their noses bump when he leans in and he sighs, drinking the moment in, cherishing it, trying to register every minute detail.

Eddie’s lips aren’t soft, they feel fragile and delicate, so Steve kisses them with every bit of care he has. He’s gentle and slow, loving, he hopes Eddie realizes, ready to follow whatever pace he sets. Moments pass and he knows he should stop, but he just can’t get enough of it. For a second he thinks he could burst with feelings—then he remembers that maybe, even for him, it’s a little too early for that.

Eddie’s pinky finger hooks around his. I’m not going anywhere, it says. Steve finally lets go.

"Is not dying a possibility now?" He asks, his nose still pressed to Eddie’s.

"Yeah. I’ll try giving it my best shot."

Day 3 First Kiss!

Morning Kiss

(Day 3 @steddie-week: First kiss)

It was a bright and early Saturday morning at the Harrington house. Eddie was making breakfast for the bunch that stayed at Steve's house after a movie night that went on too long.

It was still quiet as the young teens were still sleeping and there was still no movement or sound coming from Steve's room where Robin and Steve had crashed the night before.

The only noise that could be heard was the sizzling that came from the eggs on the pan and surprisingly Eddie was enjoying the peace and quiet.

Until a loud thud and a scream could be heard from upstairs

"SHIT!" Robin screamed "Steve we're late!"

Eddie chuckled at his friend's antics and started playing some scrambled eggs on toast so they could eat it on the go.

As Eddie heard more thuds and the shower starting, the kids started to stir at the commotion.

"Breakfast is ready!" Eddie said cheerily to Dustin, who was the first of the kids to reach the kitchen as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Oh nothing new, they overslept again"

Dustin raised an eyebrow at that.

"Did you not check they were up when you got up?"

"Nope," Eddie said with a mischievous glint in his eyes and a small smirk on his face.

"It's more fun this way"

As more of the kids made their way to the kitchen, Eddie heard the shower turn off and a few minutes later Robin bounced down the stairs toweling her hair.

"Let's go Dingus!" Screamed Robin as she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed one of the toasts from the plate Eddie set out for them.

"You could've woke us up asshole!" She said with her mouth full as she nudged Eddie harshly but smiling nonetheless. "But this IS delicious so I'll forgive you"

Eddie smiled and nudged her back and went back to eating his breakfast along with the still sleepy kids.

The moment Robin finished her food she slammed her hand on the table startling everyone at the table and called out to Steve.

"STEVE IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN HERE IS THE NEXT MINUTE I SWEAR!"

"Jesus Christ Robin! Warn a guy!" Eddie yelped.

"Sorry." Robin said as she smiled, not looking sorry at all.

"Steve we are so late Keith is going to fire you! Let's go!"

"Hey! Why would he just fire me?" Steve said as he went down the stairs as he tried to put on his work vest with one hand and shakedown his damp hair with the other.

"Shit my keys!" Steve mumbled as he went back up the stairs.

The kids in the kitchen laughed at the antics of their friends.

"Steve, come on!" Robin yelled from the door.

Steve then ran down the stairs keys in hand.

"Breakfast!" Eddie called out as Steve passed the kitchen. Steve ran back, grabbed the toast and kissed Eddie softly on the lips.

"Thanks Eds! Love you bye!" Steve said as he bolted out the door.

Eddie just stood there in the kitchen, arm still stretched out blinking slowly, not really believing that happened.

After a moment of silence in the kitchen Dustin asks,

"Has that ever happened before?"

"No, it has not Henderson. No it has not"

So. Let me get this straight (well not STRAIGHT but you know what I mean LMAO) Jungryeok:

Yelled "I LOVE YOU" to Quackity as his first impression (also mentioned THE QSMP GLOBAL SERVER multiple times. King)

Has the energy and volume of an illegal power plant (and the humor to match)

Knows SO MANY little bits of language that he picked up and continues to pick up easily (VAMOS!!, SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!, etc.)

Calls people trash (and Foolish Mr. Stupid)

Calls himself Chun-Sik's mother

INSTANTLY started swearing and exchanging swears at the top of his lungs when asked (to the dismay of Acau)

Drinks heavily and does not hesitate to talk about drinking heavily (TEQUILAAAAAA)

Had a cool talk about culture and their countries music with Roier and Quackity (and can also BEATBOX LIKE A BOSS)

Asked Chun-Sik if he wanted to ROB ACAU'S HOUSE

MADE KISSING NOISES WHEN FOOLISH AND ROIER HUGGED???

And MORE

Holy shit he really does fit right in

EDIT:

I forgot about how much Jungryeok is attached to Chun-Sik already KKKKKK

Like, mans is already filing a divorce for the kid's custody on day one (apparently he can already tell when the admin switches??? No mames)

Really the True QSMP Experience™️ <3

Painland week day 3: love confession/first kiss For the First Time Twice by @likemmmcookies

An encounter with an enchanted puzzle box locks up most of Charles’ memories and leaves him thinking he and Edwin are in love. With a recipe from Tragic Mick for a potion to counteract the spell and strict instructions to go along with Charles' delusions, all Edwin has to do is keep up the ruse for three days. He can make it three days. Right?

Thinkin' about "didn't know they were dating" Phinabella but Isabella is the one who doesn't know.

She's been pining for years and finally can't take it anymore and blurts out that she's in love with him, and Phineas immediately and enthusiastically returns the sentiment, saying that he's glad she's finally felt comfortable enough to say it after all this time. (Isabella is loading, but manages to say, "what?")

Turns out that Phineas always returned her feelings, he just doesn't show them in big, flowery ways like he does in her fantasies. ("You didn't think Paris was romantic? I had so much fun looking for airplane parts together!" and "You've always been special to me, Isabella. I don't treat Buford or Baljeet like I treat you." and "You always seemed so nervous, I didn't want to push it." and "I'm happy as long as you're around, anyway — we don't have to be holding hands or kissing.")

Isabella is casually having an existential crisis as years of their friendship recontextualizes itself in her head. Phineas is waiting for her to finish processing very patiently. (He's waited this long, after all.) And with the confusion cleared up, they both agree to "continue" "dating" and have their first kiss 💕🥺

Origins Timeline

Origins is epic in scale, and we know it takes place over the course of about a year (Ostagar happens in 9:30, the Archdemon is killed in 9:31).

I wanted a good reference for how long my Hero had been on the road at each part of the game (partly because this would inform their relationships to companions, partly just for reference because I'm a nerd).

So, without further ado:

(click to see the pictures in better detail)

So I've estimated that the whole journey from the moment you leave Flemeths Hut to the moment you reach Denerim and begin preparing for the landsmeet to take about 9 months and two weeks. That's accouting for a total of 6 months of travel (you're on the road a LOT in origins, I think way more than the game can accurately give you a sense of) and 3 months and two weeks doing the various quests you actually play through in the game (with about a month and a half spent in Orzammar).

I used the following resources to help me work things out, as well as focusing on the gameplay and lore (it doesn't make a lot of sense that you'd be spending days and days in Honnleath, for example).

myrandacousland's Ferelden Travel Distance and times

Please be aware you may need to make your own maps and timelines to get an accurate idea as the way you go will definitely affect how long it takes your warden (if you cluster activities to one region or if you go back and forth loads). But I would say 9 months and two weeks is a good rough estimate for how long that part of the game takes.

I would then say a further two months are spent on the Landsmeet and everything running up to it/you being captured/the Alienage/everything in Denerium.

I would then reckon the end of the game would take a further month-ish from there, considering you have to travel to and from Redcliffe.
