[baarishgf]

BOBBY CAÑERO REED IN PJO???

[ryanatwoodenthusiast]

watch diary of a future president !!

everyone, please, please, PLEASE watch diary of a future president on disney+ - it will be removed in a week but the list of shows/movies being removed, is still being finalized, according to deadline

everyone who sees this, please reblog, even if you won't/can't watch it yourself, i just want the show to remain available, so people (including myself of course) can still watch it in years to come

they've already decided to keep howard after saying it would be removed, so maybe, if enough people watch it, it will stay on the streaming service

if you're looking for reasons to watch:

the show centers on a family (a mother, her two children and her boyfriend)

the family is cuban-american (apart from the mother' boyfriend, who is american)

the mc is 12-year-old elena cañero-reed, who, as we learn in the first scene and hear in the title of the show, grows up to be president one day

the show is (partly) narrated by her, as these are the things she wrote in her diary when she was 12

each episode has a plot for elena, for her 14-year-old brother and for their mother (and her boyfriend), so it can appeal to all age groups

there is a lot of lgbtq+ presentation, both in side/background characters and one of the mcs has a storyline revolving around their sexuality (and, don't worry, their storyline is happy most of the time)

the show talks about themes of friendship, finding your identity, puberty, loss of a loved one (as elena and bobby's father died a few years ago) and more

if someone wants to watch it with their children (does anyone on tumblr have children? lmao) don't worry, the show has a positive message

the cast is very diverse

i hope some people watch it, and i'm going to put A LOT of tags, so this post reaches as many people as possible (i only have 6 followers, so i don't know if that would work otherwise)

@xhavibee (sorry for tagging you but you post a lot about doafp and i know you have a lot of followers, so if you reblog this, we could reach even more people)

everyone who sees this, please reblog, even if you won't/can't watch it yourself, i just want the show to remain available, so people (including myself of course) can still watch it in years to come

if you've read up until here, ily <3

It’s been a long ass time since I’ve posted here, and I doubt anyone is favorable to seeing that I’ve only come up with content several months after saying I would, but uhhhh life sucked for a while, but I’ve been thinking abt watching doafp again and then I read a fic from a different fandom that inspired me and now im here. Soooo tentative tiny snippet I wrote abt Cartero after the season 2 finale?? It doesn’t go anywhere, and I don’t know if it well yet, but I happen to like it quite a bit :)

He hasn’t been this close to Liam since last year. He had wrapped himself up so completely in trying to stay away—To put a margin of distance between them till he could trust himself to not want to reach out and touch. To not put a hand on his shoulder, or thread his arm through Liam’s, or smooth out a crinkle between his eyebrows. Because CJ was right there, and made him feel perfectly lovely and wanted every time they kissed and it was horrible to want so immensely for something that wasn’t him.

It had felt better for a while. Felt like breathing for a couple of weeks, because he found himself enveloped in CJ’s easy affection and his smooth words and his dark, meaningful eyes. He liked, could love, CJ. It felt like a revelation to be with him in a way that didn’t feel slightly inauthentic or uncertain or tucked into a pocket of time where Bobby kept trying to remind himself to stay on this side of friendly.

— This is it!! There’s more I wrote after this but I lost the thread a bit afterwards and I don’t know if I like it entirely so it’s not here

[secretly-of-course]

sorry to keep complaining on main but I need to vent about this

I’m just. So Upset. about this whole leak situation.

I’ve tried blocking tags. I’ve tried blocking people. I haven’t opened pinterest or youtube in two days. And it’s still not enough. I still have seen spoilers. Maybe not as many as I would have had I not taken those precautions, but still enough.

And I feel like I’m (and as I’m sure everyone else is) at such a crossroads because like. Now I have to make the decision of watching the leaked episode and not say a word about it or not watching it and risk getting even more spoiled? It’s only been two days how are any of us supposed to last two weeks? Am I just supposed to not go online for two entire weeks? What am I? A cavewoman? As much respect as I have for people who are capable of that I’m too weak-willed for that.

I saw a screenshot of a moment I know would have squealed at in delight had I seen it live, and instead it just made me way to throw up. One thing about me is I hate knowing other people are watching and enjoying something while I am missing out. You know, when Hollow Mind aired I had to work that day, so I set my alarm for 5:30 AM just so I could watch it and react to it before going to work and I was freaking happy to do so.

On the flip-side, when DOAFP season 2 aired I only got through an episode and a half before our internet completely shit the bed. I was so upset that I cried. It took 2 days to fix and when I finally got to see the episodes and got back online to talk about it, it felt like the hype on tumblr had completely died down already and I had missed it. That was 2 days, how is 2 weeks going to effect this fandom?

I was so excited to see this episode, and now my excitement has been completely ruined. I was literally talking to my therapist on Tuesday how I feel I have been so much better mentally recently than I was a year ago, largely in part due to having toh to focus on and the new episode to look forward to. And I know, I know. I knew from the beginning that staking so much of my mental health on one show was a bad idea but frick I couldn’t help it. I haven’t cried yet but man I’m getting close. I already laid face down on the floor a while. Is this a healthy reaction? No. But what else am I supposed to do. I’m trying so hard to remain optimistic, to tell myself that I don’t know the whole story and there will still be surprises, but the truth of the matter is I’m not excited for this episode now and that’s fucking sad.

We should be making theories right now. We should be writing fics and drawing art. We should be rewatching the previous episodes in preparation. And instead we’re fucking dodging leaks left and right.

I wanted so badly to finish my Gus x Matty reunion comic before ftf aired and that’s just been ruined for me. I was even hoping I might have time to do a Hunter x Willow comic too and it just feels pointless now. I am trying so hard to focus on drawing my comic and writing my Steve x Katya fic and I’m just struggling to focus on any of it because I’m too upset. And it sucks because I know if I’m not careful I could easily slip into a creative block again like I was exactly a year ago before toh altered my brain chemistry. I don’t want to go back to being depressed and uninspired like that again.

I don’t know what to do really. I know everyone in the fandom is going through the same thing, I just had to get my thoughts out, even though they are very self-centered. I just don’t know.

DOAFP Appreciation Week - Favorite Ship

[illbeyourreasonwhy]

Doafp Week Day 1: Favorite Character

Elena Cañero-Reed

[en-theheights]

Doafp Week

I apologize firsthand cause I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to post anything and I forgot it was doafp week, literally shame on me. 

Anyways here are my prompts for the 29th, 30th, and 1st (if anyone would actually like to write them out, than please feel free to!!)

November 29th: Favorite ship | first date | proposal

I feel like I’m being a bit bias, but my tumblr name is literally called tennisboyfriends, and my profile picture is of THE Brandon Severs, so it’s no doubt that my favorite ship is Cartero. Their first date would definitely have something to do with tennis, and I don’t think that they would make it like an “official” date, but just them hanging out. They maybe go to watch a professional game, and then out of the blue, while their just talking about the players on the court, Liam is just like, “yeah, lol, I can’t believe this is our first date” and then Bobby is like lowkey panicking but also really giddy and can’t stop smiling. For a proposal to be boyfriends, Bobby would definitely ask Danny and Ziggy to help, and with them just being a chaotic mess, something would go wrong minutes before Liam shows up. The proposal was suppose to say Will You Be My Boyfriend? spelled out in tennis balls, but they mess up the words so it’s in the wrong order, and then Liam finally shows up when there in the middle of changing it and it just says, “Will y u my b boyfrend?” with some of the letters missing, and he just laughs at it, and says yes. 

November 30th: Writing: write something using a trope you like

Okay, so I decided to write small little one shot (I think that’s what their called??) for this, but it’s not finished yet! Once I do, I’ll tag it #doafpweek if anyone is interested in reading it once I finish! This will be the first thing that I have ever written, so it’ll probably sound stupid, but I want to start something new, so I’m excited!! Basically, my favorite trope is the one where the ship will just sporadically start slow dancing for no reason, and then realize that they’re in love with each other. So long story short, my one shot is of Cartero doing homework at Liam’s house and Bobby is freaking out because he has to dance at his cousins Quinceanera, but he doesn’t know how to slow dance, so Liam offers to show him, and they basically fall in love during that time. This will mostly be in Liam’s perspective, but I might do Bobby’s as well.  Idk when it’ll get done, but hopefully soon!

December 1st: Friendship | Favorite | Something they like to do together 

Hands down Sasha and Jessica. I think their best moment was when Jessica was doing Sasha’s hair, and they were bonding and connecting. But also when Jessica showed up to Sasha’s poetry thing and made her more confident. I’m also sure that they were leaving subtle hints that they could actually like each other. I’m here for it, they’re the cutest things ever! Something they would like to do together is go to the library during their free period or lunch and read funny and lame poems that they find. Jessica gets a little jealous one day when Sasha invites Elena to the library since it’s their thing, and she tells Sasha that, and Sasha understands.

hello doafp tumblr

[doafp]

I think we stopped talking about s2 of doafp too quickly. If we got weekly episodes starting on august 18 we'd still have two more episodes left of the season meaning we'd still be talking about it. Disney please renew doafp for s3 and go back to a weekly release schedule thank youu 😚

late night proclamations

(DOAFP appreciation week: future storyline)

hello doafp enjoyers. i wrote a little something something for the last day of doafp appreciation week. ENJOY!!! <3

Somehow, after four fucking years, Bobby’s a senior.

It doesn’t feel real, like something that he actually did. He can barely recall things that happened in the past week, much less things that happened in the past four years.

Four whole years of his life; it’s really hard to believe he’s been here for so long.

If he really thinks about it long and hard enough, he can remember when he was a freshman, when the biggest problems he had to think about were a two minute presentation for his history class and the crush he had on his straight best friend. Those problems seem so small and minuscule in comparison to everything he’s accomplished ever since then. But he still remembers how real they felt, how life-ending.

The night sky is dark all around him, but it’s about to be June in a couple of days, so the dark isn’t as cold as it probably should be. There’s a warm breeze in the air, too. It’s the kind of warmth that makes sitting on the high school tennis courts on a Thursday night feel nice.

He didn’t even mean to be out here so late. They were supposed to be having a little goodbye party for all the seniors on the tennis team in the gym, but that had ended an hour or so ago. Bobby was supposed to have driven back home by now, but something had drawn him to the courts, probably the same force that had driven him here all his life.

Spreading his hands out on the ground around him, the warmth radiating from the courts makes his stomach feel fuzzy. He breathes in, trying to suck up the serene moment as much as he can. There won’t ever really be another like it.

The thought of saying goodbye to this part of his life — high school tennis, out of all things — is hitting him particularly harder than he expected. He had been fine just a week ago, ready to escape from the prison he had spent so long trapped in. Now, though, what with everything seeming so finalized, with only about a week left here, the idea of leaving puts a lump in his throat.

“Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. It’s almost midnight, you moron.”

Bobby turns to his left, half-scared out of his mind at the random voice coming out of nowhere. The lamppost reveals it’s only Liam, though, but Bobby still places a hand on his chest dramatically.

“What the hell are you doing here?” He asks, shooting Liam a look of exasperation.

Liam doesn’t answer right away, walking the few steps left to reach Bobby before going to sit down next to him. Bobby scoots over a bit, giving him room.

“I thought you left, like, an hour ago.” Bobby adds, voice quieter now that Liam was right next to him. Liam only shrugs at his statement, sitting with his legs crossed. His knee is an inch away from Bobby’s, and a sudden wave of nostalgia hits his core, vague memories of storage closets and middle school and tennis balls with sharpie written on them all flooding him at once.

“I did.” Liam finally answers, not looking at Bobby, just staring out into the open court. “But I came back.”

Bobby only nods, not really understanding what he meant by that. Maybe he was feeling the same sort of thing Bobby was, about being a senior and all. They had talked about their feelings with each other briefly, sharing the same opinion on pretty much all of it.

“It’s weird,” Bobby speaks up, gesturing to the space in front of them, with part of the school in the background. “I’ve spent so long wanting to leave, but when I sit here, all I can think about is how much I’m gonna miss it. How much I’m gonna miss the team, and all of my buds, and well, you.”

He glances at Liam, who has finally turned to look back at him, too. There’s a look on his face that Bobby can’t read.

“Bobby, do you ever feel, like, stupid?” Liam asks, and the bluntness of the question makes Bobby smile, tilting his head to look up at the sky like he’s deep in thought.

“Pretty much all of my life.” He settles on, nudging Liam’s shoulder jokingly. “What kind of question is that?”

He watches as Liam shakes his head, a small smile on his face as he looks down at the ground. “Shut up.” He laughs. It’s cute, and Bobby feels his stomach swirl with butterflies at the sight, the same butterflies he’s been getting ever since eighth grade.

There’s a beat of silence, and Bobby’s waiting for him to continue, but Liam just sits there. The silence is kind of comforting, though, so he lets it happen.

Maybe the reason why he was feeling so emotional about leaving behind this part of his life was because of Liam. It’s not really an idea he wants to think about, because then he would have to face that fact that he never really got over his middle school crush, and that’s a whole other road to go down.

But Liam was a part of tennis. They were practically the same thing at this point. When Bobby thought of tennis, he thought of playing doubles with Liam. He thought of getting an extra hour every day just to hang out with him, or going out to eat during away games and always sitting next to him, no matter what.

God, he’s gonna miss it. He’s not used to these strong emotions, the ones that really mean something. Sometimes it felt like these emotions only ever came out of Bobby when Liam had something to do with it.

“It’s like,” Liam starts, and Bobby had been so in his head that he forgot they were having a conversation. “Like, something is right in front of you, and you’re young, so like, obviously you don’t even think about it. But then the thing is taken away from you, and you miss it, right? And then you realize what that means, and it scares you, but at least you know? But then it’s too late, and then you’re screwed, and then it’s really too late. You know?”

Bobby just stares at him, like a deer caught in headlights. “Remember when we were talking about how stupid I am?”

Liam laughs again, shaking his head again. Maybe it’s a habit of his, shaking his head when he laughs. Bobby thinks he probably would’ve noticed already, though.

“Graduating soon has got me feeling like an idiot, that’s all.” Liam clarifies, which Bobby can definitely relate to.

He brings his knees up to his chest, resting his crossed arms on top of them. “It’s kinda like in the movies, when the main characters are in a life-or-death situation, so they just shout out every random secret they can think of.”

Liam snorts at that, side-eyeing him with a smirk. “You got any secrets to tell me, Bobby?”

Scoffing and rolling his eyes, Bobby looks to the side. “You have no idea.”

His words are met with another short silence, which, again, he doesn’t mind.

It suddenly dawns on him that maybe those people in the movies knew what they were doing. When you’re at the end of the rope, why not let everything loose? Why not say the thing that’s been building up inside of you for weeks, months, years?

He looks back over at Liam and sees that Liam is already looking at him. “Bobby—,” Liam says, at exactly the same time Bobby has started saying “Liam—,”

Their collision makes both of them laugh, and Liam dips his head forward, like he’s motioning for Bobby to continue. That takes all of the laugh out of him, suddenly feeling like his throat wouldn’t be able to make a sound if he opened it.

The quietness of the empty tennis courts consumes them for a moment, and it helps to still some of the anxiety pulsing through his body. He never really did well with nervousness, always aspiring to be the chillest person in the room.

Besides, it was now or never. He’s never gonna get a chance like this.

“Back in freshman year, I just, uh, well, I guess I sort of had a thing for you, or something.” He manages, quickly looking over at Liam, trying to gauge his reaction discreetly. “I mean, maybe even before that. Well, maybe even after that, but, uh, the timeline’s not important, I guess.”

Liam looks contemplative for a moment, furrowing his eyebrows. “Freshman year? Back when I was dating—,”

Bobby just nods, not wanting to dive into it. He can still remember how painful it was, watching some girl steal Liam’s heart right out from under him. How his little freshman-year old self was able to deal with that kind of heartbreak is beyond him.

“Yeah,” he grimaces, “Shit was painful.”

He expects Liam to just nod and move on, maybe even apologize for the agonizing pain he had inadvertently caused his best friend, but he just laughs. Straight-up laughs.

Bobby’s torn between feeling offended on behalf of his younger-self and laughing along with him out of absurdity.

“What the hell is that for?” He asks, not being able to help the smile from falling on his face, despite his attempt at sounding angry.

Liam shrugs. “Now you know how I felt.”

That takes Bobby by surprise. He’s not even exactly sure what Liam means by that. When was Liam ever in a situation where the girl he liked had a significant other?

He sits there for a moment, squinting his eyes as he tries to figure it out, trying to remember every single girl Liam ever expressed interest in.

“Jesus, you really are thick, huh?” Liam asks, and that just confuses Bobby even more, making him feel the need to stand up for himself.

“Hey! Not my fault I can’t remember every single girl you’ve ever had a thing for!”

He’s met with a blank stare from Liam, followed by a sigh. “For a gay man, you view the world incredibly heterosexually.”

That just stumps him even more. He’s about to open his mouth to ask for clarification, not even sure if he heard him right, when Liam rolls his eyes before looking down at the ground in front of him.

“I liked you, dude. When you were dating CJ.”

Bobby does a double take. This time he’s really not sure if he heard Liam right. Surely not. Surely Liam didn’t just say that he had liked him back at one point, not him. Liam was straight, wasn’t he?

It feels like his world had just been tipped upside down. Something in his chest feels warm, and the feeling travels to the rest of his body, making him feel hot all over. Liam liked him. Him.

“You had a crush on me?” Bobby asks bewilderedly, shoving Liam’s shoulder in shock. “What an idiot.”

Liam quickly looks back up at him, looking offended but still smiling anyway. He shoves him back, even harder than Bobby had. “You liked me first!”

Bobby looks to the side in disbelief, like there’s an imaginary person sitting next to them listening to all of this. He glances back over at Liam, shaking his head. “I didn’t know this was a competition.”

Then, just because he always has to get the last word in, he shoves Liam quickly before launching off of the ground, making sure he was out of harm’s way. He stands in front of Liam, who’s laughing from the ground with a sinister look in his eyes.

“Everything with you is a competition, Bobby.”

Not even a split-second passes before Liam is suddenly standing face-to-face with Bobby, pushing him back. It catches him off guard, but he manages to catch himself before falling down completely.

He brushes off some imaginary dirt, just to be a bit of an asshole. “That all you got?” Bobby asks tauntingly, taking a few steps closer to Liam.

Liam crosses his arms, shortening the distance between them by also walking forward, only stopping a foot or so away from Bobby. The close distance usually wouldn’t feel so heavy, but after what they had just told each other, the tension surrounding them had never felt so thick.

“I got one more thing,” Liam says, voice barely above a whisper. Bobby can feel his heart rate go erratic, watching as Liam’s eyes move down to his lips.

Before he can fully comprehend the situation, Liam is slowly leaning in, eyes closed. Bobby’s been in the situation before, he knows what he’s supposed to do, but it’s never felt so serious, so meaningful. His throat feels like it’s closing up, but he leans in anyway, because it might be the most important thing he’ll ever do.

Right before their lips touch Bobby feels a weight on his chest and suddenly he’s stumbling backwards, arms flapping around him as he tries to catch his balance. It doesn’t work, and next thing he know’s he’s hitting the ground with a thud, lying on his back.

Liam is running to his side, but he doesn’t look concerned. He looks like he’s trying to hold back a laugh, holding a hand in front of his mouth.

“Not funny, Liam. I could’ve died.” Bobby groans, turning his head to the side. That makes Liam laugh even louder, and despite the fact that Bobby is in physical pain, the warmth that had been spreading in his body from before has multiplied now. He feels like he’s floating, even though he’s sprawled out on the ground.

“You were gonna kiss me, right?” He asks, not even afraid of looking like an idiot, since he had just literally fallen onto the ground. Liam moves to sit beside him, facing the tennis courts.

“Yeah.” Liam says simply, and there it is again, there’s that floaty feeling. “I still could, you know. Kiss away the pain, or whatever.” He adds, and when Bobby looks over at him, he looks nervous, not like the boy who had just tricked him into falling on his ass.

Bobby smiles so wide it starts to hurt. “Yeah, you still could.” With a groan, he manages to pull himself up and off his back, standing upright.

Liam looks at him in confusion from the ground, and Bobby just grins, backing up warily.

“You’re gonna have to catch me first, though, buddy boy.”

That causes a light to shine in Liam’s eyes, his smirk from earlier returning in full force. Bobby is already taking off in the other direction when Liam rises to his knees, running after him.

Jumping over the net of the tennis court while Liam follows right behind him, Bobby distantly thinks about the fact that this will be his last memory here, on the high school tennis courts. It won’t be the last game he actually played here, or the last trophy he won, it’ll be Liam.

It’s a sad thought, but then Bobby hears Liam laugh from behind him, his voice echoing throughout the night sky, and something in him shines.

Even though this is his last memory of the high school tennis courts, at least it’s not his last memory of Liam.

[ace-with--a-mace]

im so pissed off rn i cant even

[small-soft-nobody]

If Cartero does get together, then they’ll have been enemies to lovers!

[secretly-of-course]

anyways I think she deserves the whole world

[image ID: Monyca with a Y standing by the dumpster smiling at Bobby who has his back turned to the camera.]

[sapphosclown]

ok i wanted to make this a fic but i truly don’t know how to start writing it so this is how i imagine cartero becomes canon for doafp week day 2

mid season 3 camilla and danielle’s wedding

bobby was supposed to bring CJ as his date but CJ ended up not being able to make it for some reason

bobby was like damn and he remembered that camilla had said he could invite all his friends but he didn’t because he felt like it’d be awkward so he only invited cj but now that he can’t go he needs another plus one bc seating charts whatever

he decides to invite liam as he’s a little afraid nanny and ziggy may not be the best wedding attendees

liam is like ok i can make that work

the ceremony is beautiful obviously camilla was not about to have a dull wedding

the party is a lot of fun too, he and liam kind of just chat until liam ends up pulling bobby onto the dance floor and he’s a little embarrassed and flustered at first but then they’re having a good time

and then a slow song comes on

liam: may i have this dance?

bobby: oh, i’m, i don’t really know how to dance

liam: that’s ok, i don’t either. but i’ve seen enough movies it’s just like a bunch of swaying

bobby: haha yeah i’m idk

liam: come on, just one dance

bobby thinks about it a second and then a smiles slips his face and he accepts the hand liam had reached out to him

and it’s a little awkward for a minute but then liam starts up a conversation again

liam: i can’t believe camilla didn’t make you guys learn how to dance for her wedding

bobby: oh i think there was a dance lesson but i didn’t go

liam: why not? didn’t you expect to dance

bobby shrugs: i don’t know. guess i didn’t think about it too much.

liam: well, i actually lied. my grandma taught me and my brothers how to slow dance when we were kids. i could teach you now if you want?

bobby: yeah, why not.

so then liam is teaching bobby how ti dance and they’re having a good ole time

here’s the kicker

cj shows up. whatever reason he had to not be able to go changed and he managed to get into the afterparty

bad news tho, he sees bobby and liam dancing. and he really didn’t think much of it until he really saw the look on bobby’s face.

he just turns around and leaves

the next day or a few days later or something cj asks bobby to hangout and bobby is like yeah !

bobby meets up with cj and immediately notices something is off and is like what’s up?

cj: yk how i wasn’t able to make it to the wedding?

bobby nods

cj: well the thing changed and i made it to the after party. danielle came to see me at the front and let me into the party, she said one more wasn’t gonna hurt anything. anyways, i walked in and saw you and liam dancing

bobby: oh

cj: i mean, i didn’t really care, it’s a wedding people dance. but. the look on your face while you were dancing with him. (cj pauses as he thinks back to it).

bobby: no it’s not like that, i don’t even think of liam like that anym-

(bobby catches himself before he finishes the word but cj already knows. he’s had a feeling for a while probably a bunch of built up subtext from prior s3 episodes)

cj: listen, i like you a lot but i’m leaving for college soon and honestly, i just don’t think you’ve ever gotten over him. i just don’t think we were meant to work out bobby.

(in my head he says something ab liam liking him too i just don’t know where it fits here)

bobby is sad and whatever but to sum up they end on good terms maybe a goodbye kiss just for gay rights yk

anyways upset bobby can’t sleep so he goes for a walk and finds liam at the tennis courts

they do the whole what are you doing here dance thing and they say their excuses and bobby tells him that he and cj broke up

liam: oh. man that sucks, i’m sorry.

bobby: it’s chill i guess. i had a feeling it’d happen at some point. usually the sophomore and the senior aren’t meant to be.

liam: you’re still allowed to be upset tho.

bobby: i know. the crazy thing is he said he thinks…. he thinks i like you.

liam: …oh

bobby: yeah. crazier than that he thinks you like me. i tried to tell him we’re just friends but—

liam: i do.

bobby stops and looks at him: what.

liam: I do, like you.

bobby: …oh. since when?

liam: end of freshman year? maybe? but you had just gotten with cj so. i tried to get over it but. (liam shrugs)

bobby doesn’t really know what to do with himself. he does notice that the overhead lights from the tennis court are creating a halo effect around liam. he notices that they’re standing kind of far apart. he notices he’s feeling a lot of things, he just can’t pinpoint what it is. joy? sadness? fear?

liam: sorry, i shouldn’t have said anything, you just got out of a relationship— pretend i didn’t say anything—

bobby: liam?

liam: yeah?

bobby: can i kiss you.

liam: i- like right now?

(bobby nods)

liam: um. yeah, yeah you can, yes.

and then bobby is kissing his middle school crush and at first it’s quick and uncertain and confusing. but the second they stop and look into each other’s eyes, another kiss begins, much more comfortable and now an answer to a question they’ve both been dying to know for a very long time.

and there’s probably some more drama but that’s as far as i got. thank u happy doafp week
