lovely emmi. can I ask what your ranking of the mental as anything albums is?
ok so you said ranking and iâm gonna turn this into a review of each album because... itâs me <3 iâm only ranking the albums from 1979-1987 because those are the ones i have time for but GOD this was so hard.
6. espresso bongo [1980]
i feel like this is pretty popular opinion. it has some great moments on the album but it just feels kinda dead, itâs just lacking the âquirkinessâ that appeared on the last album. it suffers from the dreaded âsecond album syndromeâ where they are recording songs they have only worked on for a week ago due to time, which might explain why a lot of the songs feel rushed or underdeveloped. thereâs obviously some good songs on the album. martin certainly shines on here, i love the song cannibal <33 thereâs just something quite sweet about - âif i were a cannibal youâd be the first to go // or would i miss you too much?â who would really think about writing something like that?!?!?! also the little harmonica lyric after the chorus just add the nice country twang to the song. âcome aroundâ is also such a banger, love greedyâs keyboard solo in the middle <33 also i love âwonât let me driveâ - greedy coming through as a fellow non-driver about wanting to see his girlfriend but has no way of getting there, very cute and very greedy <33 also insect liberation with some BANGING keyboards and some lyrics about how insects are taking over the planet. overall itâs a pretty good. overall i think itâs a very good album, good range of songs by everyone. just a shame it wasnât given the time for it the be properly developed but hey, it was the 80s!
highlighted songs: cannibal, come around, wonât let me driveÂ
5. cats & dogs [1981]
this is such a banging album. i feel like itâs the first album that is truely âtheirâsâ. i mean theyâre still finding their feet but it just has their sound with the niche little songs and i just fucKING love it so much!!! again everyone just shines here with all of their songs - especially martin again girl !!!! fuck it up !!!! i mean âif you leave me, can i come too?â is such an iconic song. itâs just so them. from the cheeky lyrics to greedyâs little keyboards throughout the song. i mean what else is there to say - great song! also love âletâs cookâ, you would think with how simple and repetitive it is youâd get bored of it but you just canât! again greedy and his keyboards, this man had it going on!!!!! find it so bizarre they actually performed this song live. idk why. and the growl that martin does is honestly a bit weird. this was technically the first song i heard by them because they did a version with the wiggles which surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly) is kinda their best song. âtoo many timesâ is an actual tune, hella annoying because it gets stuck in my head all the time but thatâs sorta the point??? again greedy back at it again with the keyboards (and also harmonica!!!!!) love the bouncy âjumpyâ music against the really dark and depressing lyrics. love the way greedy sings âdoctor that i went to couldn't do any good // he gave me pills for sleeping i took more than i shouldâ like heâs guiltily confessing to it. BERSERK WARRIORS !!!!!!!! WHAT A FUCKING BANGER !!! WE NEED MORE SONGS ABOUT ABBA WITHOUT REALLY BEING ABOUT ABBA BUT A STILL ABOUT ABBA !!!!! i just love it. you can literally not go wrong with a gregorian chant and honestly we need more of them nowadays. i really want to like this album more but the other songs are just kinda lacking :/// like the most popular songs are excellent and then the deep cuts are.... well deep cuts.Â
highlighted songs; berserk warriors, too many times, if you leave me, can i come too?
4. creatures of leisure [1983]
now THIS is literally a classic. LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH !!!! wish i could say itâs not because of spirit got lost but i would lying through my fucking teeth. canât even lie spirit got lost is one of those songs that you just have to hear to believe it - honestly have no idea what my guy is singing about but i love the horror and darkness that it has. i mean that bass is just so sexy and the constant thud it makes throughout the songs, but especially in the verses, just adds literally so much to the song. and the instrumental - look greedy and his keyboards i mean what can is say?? it just sounds like bones being rattled together and i have no idea what that actually sounds like but iâm gonna assume itâs that. and i mean nothing fucking takes me out like âthereâll always be a chair for you in the corner of my heartâ like WHAT?? FUCKING WHAT ??? OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKK. THAT SHIT IS GOING ON MY GRAVESTONE!!! i swear is that not one of the greatest lyrics of all fucking time??? AND RIGHT AFTER THE INSTRUMENTAL AS WELL??? greedy... honey.... i know itâs credited to mombassa/smith but iâll be fucking DAMNED if you did not write that line. anyway thereâs other songs i love on this album. close again is one of the sweetest song ever. a very greedy song not written by greedy. i love the chill mellowness of it. literally i played this song with my brother in the car and he went âwhatâs this hippie shit?â which was a little bit rude considering i love this song but i get what he means. thereâs just something sorta hawaiian shirt about it but like in a good way. also brain brain is a genius song - i love how the songs transitions from verse and chorus. itâs very dissociated and causes an uneasy feeling which i think reflects the mood of the song. fiona is an underrated bop, bit of a country guitar side which gets me moving! drinking from her lips as well is a really good song. this album is very chill suburban album that just shows the potential they were capable of achieving with their next album (hint hint hint!)Â
highlighted songs: spirit got lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just go listen to it pls <3, close again, drinking from her lips
3. get wet! [1979]
where it all begins!!! you know that post where it goes âi love debut albums because it shows raw and realnessâ well baby if that does not perfectly describe this album i have no idea what does! considering there were like four main songwriters in the band, all of the songs are pretty consistent yet still show off the different sounds of each member. martin and reg SHINE here. i love spanish gardener, interesting lyrics and rhyming (been watching you for some time // while i eat my pie at lunch time) and again, greedyâs keyboards with that slight fuzz mixed with the sharpness of the guitars just cut through like a knife! it makes the song quite funky and cool <3 love the song sheilah as well. most of the songs are just. so keyboard that you almost get whiplash wearing this song, itâs just so guitar-driven that it gives an edge to the album. i love business and pleasure as well, there is something quite raw and real about it, just the sorta tongue in cheek mocking of the music business (threads and licks and jokes and pretty lights too). also talk to baby jesus - i would have loved to be at a gig when they started playing this song, the place wouldâve gone fucking oFF! greedyâs two songs are another manâs sitting in my kitchen, which is about him peaking through the window of his old house to find (guess what!) another manâs sitting in my kitchen with his ex girlfriend and insurance man, which is about how he would die if his girlfriend left him and heâd like to put a claim on his life. and im sure you can deduce what greedyâs toxic traits were (heâs a capricorn itâs forgiven). canât even lie but i would die on the hill for insurance man, the way the guitar goes from quiet to loud while also becoming more manic just adds such a foreboding and horror note to a song which could be deemed quite spooky. this album also has the classic âthe nips are getting biggerâ which i love asking what people think the nips are in the songs. i remember hearing about the title first before the song and just being amazed that it would have even be allowed to play because i thought they were talking about nipples. now i am sure that doesnât come as a surprise to literally anyone. i feel like this album is a bit of a hit or miss but i love it. love it so much.Â
highlighted songs: insurance man, spanish gardener, business and pleasure
2. fundamental (or fundamental as anything) [1985]
MY BOY HITTING THE BIG TIME!!!! this is where greedy literally popped off as a songwriter. like it started with spirit got lost and then only got better and better as the albums kept coming out. iâm really sorry for the other guys on this album because i only really know the singles off and they just so happen to be by greedy. like iâm sure thereâs some other great songs i just havenât listened to them yet :// my bad! this is by far their most popular album because it has live it up on it, which i mean if that was the only song it would still make the top three on my list. live it up is just a certified classic bop by everyone who has ever listened to it. from the keyboards at the start to grab our attention to greedyâs country twang vocals singing about comforting someone depressed over some stupid man. i have listened to this song in times of crisis because it just instantly makes me feel so much better about everything going on around me. i have both sung and cried along with this song because it just feels like such a warm hug. i mean it literally opens with âhow can you see looking through those tears? // donât you know youâre worth your weight in gold?â like what the fuck greedy. iâm cured. and of course âhey yeah you with the sad face come up to my place and live it up // you besides the dance floor what do you cry for letâs live it upâ how can you not see those lyrics and just be immediately filled with love and hope. it just made me realise how powerful music is and what it can do to impact a personâs life or feelings. anyway thank u greedy !! thank you for this one song, thank you for making my life just that little bit better <3 i miss you so much <33 anyway âyouâre so strongâ is also a very sweet song, greedy said he wrote it as a feminist anthem which is certainly an interesting way of describing it but whatever you say lil guy. there is an endearing quality about it though, as well as very addicting. i hear this song and then itâs pretty much all i hear for the next three days. and of course date with destiny <3333 love this song so much, whenever i hear that keyboard and drum machine i literally get so PUMPED! and it includes âme loving her was always meant to me to make my life completeâ like you are seriously going to find me floating face first into a fucking lake soon!!!! it is slowly killing me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! overall i do like this album for the shallow reason of i believe those last three songs were written about me but they sorta secretly are so itâs ok <3
highlighted songs: live it up, youâre so strong, date with destinyÂ
1. mouth to mouth [1987]
and here we are, literally the best album ever made. again greedy, literally the king <3 but every song on this album is just a bop, no flops allowed here.Â
donât tell me now - what a fucking opener. love the 80s saxophone and drum machine.Â
my door is always open to you - best song ever written (and underrated!) why does this song get overlooked when it comes to this band?? you know why does this band get overlooked all the fucking time in the first place?? i just love the beatnik sorta vibe to the sound with the flicking of fingers and that bass and then how it goes through verse to chorus of going quiet before soaring up !!! i feel like iâve heard this song somewhere else but i honestly have no idea where. anyway time for the lyrics that makes me lose my marbles - âdonât stand outside in the cold // youâre a sight for sore eyesâ i mean does that not want to make you melt!!!! Â
put me back - reminds me of something very depeche mode if depeche mode was allowed to have guitars.Â
letâs go to paradise - best song ever written. there is a sorta conga feel to it which again might explain why it gets stuck in my head for four years whenever i hear it. and of course âdonât you wonder bout the time that youâve spent wasting your own when you could be wasting mine?â again fucking what? that line is so real it almost could have come from shakespeare or austen but nope. thatâs from my fucking king in sydney <3Â
the mad king - i have no idea why this song goes so hard but it does. the fucking vocals are just so fucking funny to me. i love it.Â
heâs just no good for you - best song ever written. considering the subject matter this song is pretty ahead of its time. i mean for real heâs just no good for you .... why are you going back .... you deserve a whole lot better than that. greedy was honestly our biggest ally.Â
thinking out loud - tune.Â
stay at home girl - again harmonica fucking slap.Â
mouth to mouth - literally how i imagine cocaine to feel like.Â
iâm glad - nearly died when i first heard this song. iâm glad iâm with you too greedy !!!Â
ruby baby - i am in a bahamas with a margarita and you will not change me.Â
wandering through heavens - mentions the devil being let out of a cage. how can you not?
overall they ended their golden period what can only be described as their best album and iâm so glad they did this album for me and i would kiss them all on the cheek. except for greedy, he can get a kiss on the mou- *GETS GUN DOWNED*
#ask#earthandsunandmoon#cara - how does it feel to be responsible for this??#enjoying reading <3#i whipped out 2000 words for you. i have no idea how i even managed to do that. i have a lot of thoughts.#not but thank you so much for allowing me to indulge. this was so much fun to do!!! i love this band more than anything!!!!#they're just such a fun little band with their songs. i also love their artwork and their 'image' i guess. they're just fun!

One thing Iâve noticed about people in or entering their 30s is they donât make as many compromises anymore. If someone doesnât meet them halfway, is not up to standard, is just not where theyâre needed to be, theyâre just like âok coolâ and they move on from the person. Which is not to say theyâre less empathetic or understanding, but more that they have learned that time is their most prized possession and theyâre not willing to make massive compromises on it. They are not obsessed w the idea of fixing someone (bc the concept of fixing a person doesnât really exist). They simply move on to someone who is up to par. I want that. I want to always move w the awareness that time is my most priceless belonging and I can never buy it back. Ever. So I have to use it wisely
#not just when it comes to ppl but w opportunities too!#w not wasting your energy on negativity#w always seeing the big picture etc etc#i just want to always move from a place of âis this expending time that could be best spent elsewhere?â#just a note 2 self while I navigate how to spend my time#which includes dedicated studying & reading more consistently & moving my body & enjoying nature & telling someone I love them <3#we will be alright#text

Feelings Thawed
Character; Cater Diamond
Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, pining, ice skating (to various degrees of success)
Word Count; 650+
Author's Note; This is a present/thank you to my mutual @i-like-forgs. I hope you enjoy this ice skating scene with Cater, and that you get to skate soon!
As a reminder, do not put my work â or others for that matter â into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist
The brisk wind bit at your nose, and you pulled up your scarf, trying to keep away the offending wind. Around you it was a winter wonderland, all made possible in the temperate conditions thanks to Cater, who was filming you skating around on the frozen pondâs surface.
âYou know,â you hollered, making sure that you caught his attention, âyou should join me! Itâs fun!â You came to a stop by the pondâs edge, where Cater was standing with a large thermos.
Cater just shot you a wink, handing you the thermos. âThis is for you though, silly!âÂ
He was deflecting, you could tell; behind that bright and cheery smile that he always seemed to wear around others, you knew when there was something off with Cater. You accepted the thermos though, and took a sip of the spicy apple cider, still piping hot.
You gave him a look and pulled lightly on his coat sleeve. âYes, but itâs more fun with others, come on Cater!â You stepped back onto the ice, and slowly skated near him, waiting with an eager smile.
He looked at you, and then back at the ice, but he stayed standing in the light snow, shooting you that smile. âBut I canât take photos if Iâm out there with you!â He scratched at the back of his neck.
Liar. âCater,â you looped back around and stepped onto the bank, balancing on your skates, âdo you not know how to skate?â
Caterâs smile turned sheepish, and his âahahaha, looks like my gig is upâ chuckle made its appearance. He had been found out. âNever got the chance to,â he hid his face slightly in his scarf, either to keep the cold at bay or to hide that his cheeks were turning pink. âSo Iâd just slow ya down.â
You took his hand into yours, âWell, I could teach you if you wanted. Just a warning though, youâre gonna fall on your butt a lot, might get a few bruises.â
Cater looked down at your entwined hands. Mittens and gloves separated your skin from touching one another, but Cater could swear that he could feel the sensation nonetheless through the layers of fabric.
âYou would? Even if I pull you down with me?âÂ
The last question wasnât just about the ice skating; Cater didnât want to force you to do anything that you didnât want to⌠and that included being his friend. His heart seemed to whisper stronger emotions though, but he didnât want to ruin what the two of you had.
You walked him out to the ice, and the both of you swiftly fell down on the ice, hard. But you just laughed and got right back up again, âWell, we did just fall. There isnât anything scary about falling down; yes it stings and might leave a gnarly bruise, but in order to move forward we have to fall and get back up. So yes, is what I guess Iâm saying.â
Cater looked up at you, the sun illuminating you and the snow glittered behind you. You were holding your hand out again, waiting for him. And Cater took your hand.Â
It took him a while to get the hang of it, and he fell down quite a bit, but every time he fell down you helped him back up. And by the time that the sun was setting in the west, the both of you were cold, and both were going to wake up tomorrow with some bruises. It was fun though, which is all that mattered⌠but that whisper in Caterâs heart was by now singing, and maybe he would listen to it, but for now, he was happy with how the way things were, and he wouldnât trade it for anything in the world, especially with how much you had smiled today. Your smile and knowing that you had fun with him was enough.

home is wherever you are
pairing: charles leclerc x reader
summary: secretly falling in love with your best friend is tough. secretly falling in love with your best friend who also happens to be your roommate is even less than ideal. the solution? move out! (hint: it isnât a very good one.) (5k)
warnings: angst with a happy ending, a smidge of google translated french lol
a/n: CHARLES LECLERC!!! CHARLES LECLERC!!!!LECLERC!!! LECLERAUGHCOUGHCOUGH
âI still cannot believe youâre abandoning me.âÂ
Charles shoved another box of your things into the boot of your car rather huffily, as if to reiterate just how unhappy he was.Â
âIâm not abandoning you, Iâm moving out of your apartment.â You sighed, rolling your eyes playfully at him. You passed him the last box off the ground, wiping your hands off on your shorts before propping them on your hips.Â
âThat is quite literally the same thing.â He mirrored your stance in total seriousness, frown unwavering. âAnd itâs not my apartment, itâs yours now too. Your home.âÂ
Youâd been living with Charles for a while now, having been suddenly evicted from your own place three, almost four years ago. With nowhere else to go, youâd turned to your best friend, and Charles had welcomed you with open arms, giving you a home when youâd needed it most.Â
There were many good things about living with Charlesâhe liked to cook (which boded well with you, seeing as you were no master chef yourself. Except for when heâd gone through a questionable phase of combining cuisines that did not go well together.), he was respectful of set boundaries and agreed upon rules. You had the same taste in shows and movies, which made for little fighting when it came to deciding on what to watch.Â
But most notably, he loved to play the piano. It was a hobby heâd picked up during long days spent staying at home, and he was good at it too. An electronic keyboard when heâd first started out, just to see if it was something he was serious about, but as he zoomed through the basics with ease, heâd splurged on a gorgeous white piano that stood proudly in the living room.Â
Soon enough, it wasnât unusual for the apartment to be full of music, beautiful songs of Charlesâ own composing.Â
He played whenever he had the feeling. Whenever he had something on his mind, whenever he was bored, anything, heâd spend hours at the piano, playing, playing, playing. Some mightâve called it annoying, but not you. You found it rather soothing.Â
It had very quickly become a habit of yours to fall asleep listening to Charles play. Something about it seemed to always relax you just enough to the point where you could pretty much fall asleep anywhere if he was at the bench.Â
Your favorite spot was on the sofa with a big blanket, watching him get lost in the notes until you drifted off. More often than not, you could rarely get a good nightâs sleep without Charlesâ accompanimentâyour very own version of white noise.Â
But truth be told, this past year of living together with Charles had been trickier than the first couple. You couldnât pinpoint the exact moment things began to change, but something had definitely shifted between you.Â
Youâd been trying to write it off just the two of you being very close, but youâd been dancing on the line of close friends and more than friends for a long time. Falling asleep together cuddled on the sofa, lingering touches whilst you were in the same room and in passing, hugs that lasted a little too long to be considered normal.Â
The more your feelings for Charles grew, the more worried you became. Worried about what, you werenât exactly sure. All you knew was you didnât want to lose the longest and best friendship youâd ever had because you went and fell in love.
âI know. But I think itâs well past time I get out of your hair and try being on my own for once.â You said softly, stepping in to fold yourself into Charlesâ arms.Â
Most of that was true. You did feel like you needed to live by yourself for a chance, to see what it was like to be fully independent in your adult life. Youâd moved in with Charles when you were twenty two, and you were twenty five now. It was time for you to venture out on your own.Â
But the uncertainty of falling in love with your best friend was definitely also a contributing factor.Â
He made a displeased sound at your words, but tucked you under his chin nonetheless. âI donât want you to get out of my hair. My hair likes it with you here.âÂ
âI live fifteen minutes away, Cha. Iâm not moving across the country. You and your hair can come over anytime.â You scoffed, giving him a gentle poke in the ribs. âAnd Iâll come over here all the time too, you know that.âÂ
âFine, fine. I donât know what I am supposed to do with your empty room now, but Iâll figure it out. Maybe I will take up scrapbooking. Knitting. Needlepoint, maybe. Turn it into a craft room.âÂ
âMaybe you can turn it into a music room. Move the keyboard in there, your piano.âÂ
âAh, bien entendu, my piano. How will you ever fall asleep without my sweet, sweet melodies?âÂ
âI think I will manage just fine.â You chuckled.Â
Charles held you at armsâ length, dark brows furrowing as he scowled. âWhat Iâm hearing is you donât love me anymore.âÂ
Oh, if only he knew.Â
You smiled instead, patting his cheek good-naturedly. âCome on, you drama queen. I want to move in before the sun goes down.âÂ
Charles went full protection mode the second all your belongings had made it safely inside the apartment, intently checking every lock, window, door hinge, cabinetânot an inch of the apartment went uninspected by him. When he seemed fairly satisfied with his safety checks, he returned to where you were unpacking kitchen items over by the oven.
âEverything up to your standards?â You asked, pulling out a stack of plates wrapped in brown paper. Charles shuffled over, easing them out of your hands and unwrapping them to help put them up in the cabinet. âNo one is going to break in through my window tonight?â
âDonât even joke about that.â He grumbled, chucking the balled up paper at you gently. âEverything I checked is fine. You will be safe here.âÂ
Food was simple when it came time for dinnerâtakeout on the floor of your living room, because you hadnât had the time to go shopping for a coffee table yet. Or a dining room table. Or even chairs, really. All you had were some pillows and an overturned cardboard box to put the food on.Â
Charles had insisted on helping you furnish the whole place before you moved in but youâd declined, saying that you wanted to get a feel for the place before filling it with everything. The last time it would be this empty would be the day you moved out.Â
He seemed a little quiet the rest of the night, but you didnât press it until after dinner, whilst he was helping you with the washing up. Well, helping was a strong word.Â
âYouâve been drying that plate for ages now.â You observed, tilting your head at him thoughtfully. Charles inhaled sharply, shaking his head like heâd been snapped out of a stupor. He glanced down at the completely dry plate, then back up at you blankly. âWhatâre you thinking about?âÂ
âYouâre really going to be gone.â
âYou say that like I told you Iâve only got days to live. I wonât be gone, Cha. Iâll be around.â You chuckled, flicking dish soap bubbles in his direction. Charles responded by flinging his towel at you, cracking a smile. You liked it when he smiled, hated it when he frowned. He was still unfairly attractive, but it wasnât Charlesâ scowl that made you fall in love with him.Â
âWe can spend the day together anytime, you can come over whenever you want, and if it makes you feel any better, I will give you your very own key.âÂ
That seemed to put him a little more in higher spirits.Â
 âWhat will you ever do without me?â He wondered out loud, feigning a thoughtful expression.Â
âProbably clean up a lot less. Be able to take a shower without running out of hot water halfway through. Oh! Have a bottle of shampoo last more than a month because someoneânot naming names, of course, wonât use it because theyâve run out of theirs. Not have to fight forââÂ
âAlright, alright, I get it!â Charles huffed, grabbing you by the shoulders and promptly shoving your face into his chest to stop you from talking.Â
You grinned against the softness of his hoodie. âShall I go on?âÂ
âNo, no you shouldnât.â His hold on you loosened, but you stayed right where you were, wrapping your arms around his torso. âJust admit it. Youâll miss me.âÂ
âI will miss you.â You said softly, pressing your cheek into the crook of his neck. If there was something Charles was unbelievably good at (besides literally anything heâd ever tried), it was giving the best hugs. Something about them made you feel safe, like nothing and nobody could ever hurt you as long as you were in his arms.Â
âYou already know how much Iâm going to miss having you around.âÂ
âYeah, I am pretty great.âÂ
A laugh rumbled through his chest. âYou are.âÂ
âYouâve been the best roommate I couldâve asked for. Thank you for everything.â Your words were muffled between the two of you, and you were glad for it, because he didnât seem to notice the waver in your tone. But he did squeeze you a little tighter, so maybe he did hear you. âI love you, Cha.âÂ
Charlesâ voice seemed to waver just a bit too. âI love you too.âÂ
âOkay, okay, you really need to leave. Go before I change my mind and make you stay.â You blurted, pushing him away playfully. It was better than letting him see you get emotional.Â
âIs that a promise?âÂ
âNo, itâs a threat. Go home. I will see you soon.â You gave his hand one last squeeze, nodding reassuringly to rid him of the crease between his brows. âDonât worry about me. Go, get some rest.âÂ
It was only then that he seemed satisfied enough to leave, but even then, he cast another backwards glance towards you on his way down the hall, as if he was waiting for you to beckon him back. You just smiled as best you could.Â
Youâd get over it. You had to. There was still a lot you needed to get done before you called it a night.Â
It wasnât until you were getting ready to go to bed that you started to feel lonely. You and Charles had your respective bedtime routines, but they always intertwined.Â
You never liked being the one to turn off all the lights in the apartment because the switch was at the end of the hallway opposite from your bedrooms, so he knew to do it because you hated running back through the darkness after flipping the switch.Â
He always filled a glass with water for late night sipping, but never remembered to actually bring it to his room until he was already in bed, so you always grabbed it for him so he wouldnât have to make the trek back out the kitchen. Â
The bathroom counter was where youâd find each other the most, terrible jokes and funny stories told muffled through toothpaste bubbles, even though you couldâve just waited until you were finished to tell each other. Youâd flick water at him as you washed your face because he took up too much space at the sink, heâd turn off the tap in retaliation, things like that.Â
Sometimes Charles would stay up later playing video games with his friends, or take some extra time to practice piano, so you wouldnât get to do your well oiled machine routine, but heâd always take the extra second to pop into your room to say goodnight when he heard you bustling around, even if he was in the middle of something.Â
The times you fell asleep on the sofa to Charlesâ playing the piano, heâd camp out at the other end of the sofa for the night, or at the very least made sure you were covered with a blanket if he went to sleep in his own room.Â
It was something youâd grown accustomed to over the years, oftentimes the well-needed end to a not so great day. Charles never failed to put a smile on your face, even with something as small and mundane as a bedtime routine.Â
But there was none of that as you ran through your routine this time.Â
You didnât hear him shuffling around over in the other room, the muffled sounds of his shouts as he played his games, and most of all, you didnât hear him and his piano.Â
Because there was no Charles. Of course there wasnât. You were in this new place that you hadnât had quite nearly enough of a chance to get used to yet, alone, and it was finally settling in.Â
Suddenly moving out and away from him seemed like the worst decision in the world.Â
You knew it was only the first night. You had to give yourself a chance to reacclimate, and that would take time. So you inhaled a deep breath, trying to get as comfy as you could for a long, probably sleepless night ahead.Â
It was nearing four in the morning when you finally decided to give up and call Charles. Part of you thought he might not even pick up the phone, because he was probably asleep. Any sane person would be sleeping right now.Â
Much to your surprise, he answered on the second ring.Â
âWhy are you awake?â You asked, maybe a bit harshly.Â
âUm, you are the one who called me? Why are you awake?â He replied, groggy voice still teasing. His accent always grew thicker when he was sleepy. You thought it was adorable. âYou cannot sleep, can you?âÂ
â...No.â Your voice grew smaller. You felt embarrassed at the fact that you couldnât even make it one full night without Charles around. âI justâŚI wanted to hear your voice, I guess. I miss you already, Cha.âÂ
Charles fell silent for a few moments, the only sound on his side of the line being his gentle exhales. âI miss you too. Do you want me to come over? I can stay the night, if you want.âÂ
âNo. No, you donât need to do that.â You said softly. âCan you just talk to me?âÂ
This was also something that had become somewhat of a ritual when either of you couldnât sleep.Â
Youâd tiptoe into each otherâs rooms quiet as a mouse, slipping into bed beside the other. Charles always stirred when he felt the bed dip under your weight, half asleep but still reaching out to pull you against his chest like it was second nature. On the occasions when he came into your room, youâd feel him tuck himself close to you, nosing against any part of you he could find with a content sigh.Â
There was no rhyme or reason to the things youâd talk about in those moments, but eventually, somehow, youâd both end up asleep, usually fairly quickly. Maybe it was the extra added comfort of each other that helped, you could never tell.Â
It wasnât unusual to wake up a jumble of limbs tangled together, and neither of you ever addressed it either. Just went on with your business as usual, never talking about it because it was just something you did. To help each other sleep, of course.Â
Another thing that really blurred the line between friends and more.Â
Charles hummed a noncommittal sound, soft and fond like he always was around you. âIâll do you one better. How about I play some music for you?âÂ
âYes, please. Thank you.â You sighed, relieved. He knew what you needed without you even having to ask.Â
You heard him get up, footsteps padding along until there was a thud and some shuffling coming from Charlesâ side. A few warm up scales in and you were already feeling a little less anxious, letting yourself get comfortable.Â
âAny requests from the audience?âÂ
âBeen working on anything new?â You yawned, nuzzling a little deeper back into your pillow.Â
âI have, actually. Itâs stillâfuck, how do you say itâŚa work in progress?â
âAnything you play is perfect.â
âYou flatter me.â He snorted. âAlright, here goes nothing.â Â
He began to play. You knew jack shit about music, so there wasnât much you could think of to describe how it sounded, but you could describe how it felt. You could almost feel the emotion pouring from his playing, even through the scratchy quality of the speaker.Â
It felt like something youâd hear in the background of a movie montage, lilting and delicate and warm notes swirling together to create a bright melody, and you couldnât help but let your mind wander.Â
Memories of good times with Charles flashed through your headâall the long days and even longer nights youâd spent together because you thrived in each otherâs company, cooking together, binging Netflix shows until you both passed out on the sofa.Â
Hushed laughing during dinners at fancy restaurants that Charles could get into by flashing his name, soft conversations accompanied with expensive food and even more expensive wine.Â
Day trips up the coast with the top down on the car, pushing the speed limit just to feel an ounce of the freedom that it could give you. Walking through Monte Carlo on late night gelato runs, switching flavors because you both enjoyed each otherâs choice more than your own.Â
Most of all, you thought of the love you felt for Charles, ever since youâd first met him. Youâd never been one to believe in the concept of soulmates, but fuck, it was so easy to think of him as yours. Never had you felt as much for someone as you did for him.Â
God, why were you even thinking of those things?Â
It would never happen. Any love that Charles had for you would be strictly platonic, limited to however much one could love their best friend.Â
Surely heâd drawn inspiration from something else when heâd composed the beautiful piece. You werenât sure if you wanted to know.Â
Soon enough, youâd drifted off like you always did when Charles played, coincidentally right before he came to a lingering stop.Â
Had you been awake, you wouldâve heard him say that the beautiful piece had been inspired by you. Instead you were fast asleep, still none the wiser to anything. Maybe it was a good thing. You might not have believed it if youâd heard him.Â
-------
Charles was on your doorstep first thing in the morning, coffee and pastries in hand when you opened the door for him.Â
âHello, good morning, your savior is here. And with breakfast!â He chirped, coming to just enough of a halt for you to slide an arm around his shoulders in a hug and grab one of the drinks out of the tray before he swept past you.
Bright morning sunlight poured into the open area, washing the whole place aglow. A warm breeze floated in through the ajar window, rattling the shutters only slightly, and you could hear the all too familiar sounds of the city in the morning coming from the streets below. It was a gorgeous picture of peace; one of the apartmentâs many fun quirks that convinced you to go for it in the first place.Â
The only thing that mightâve rivaled the beauty of the moment was Charles standing at the window, leaning against the sill drinking his coffee while the breeze ruffled his hair. His back was to you as he checked out the view, but even the mere image of him here was nice.Â
You sipped your own coffee, smiling to yourself when you realized Charles remembered exactly how you took it. You didnât even need to look inside the bag to know they were your favorite pastries from the bakery down the street from your former apartment that both you and Charles loved. He was always thoughtful like that. Things like remembering your favorite foods and drinks, and going out of his way to get them as a little pick-me-up.Â
It seemed wrong to ruin the moment, but you felt like you had to say something.Â
âIâm sorry for waking you up last night.â You sighed, taking a cross-legged seat on a pillow.Â
Charles turned away from the window, shaking his head quickly. He took a seat on the floor next to you, long legs stretching out towards your crossed ones to nudge a sneaker against your socked foot. âThereâs nothing to be sorry about, Iâm glad you called me.âÂ
âRight, but itâs kind of pathetic, isnât it? First time on my own and I didnât even last a whole night.âÂ
âNot pathetic.â He insisted, entirely firm in his words. He set his cup down as if it could strengthen his point. âIt is a change, definitely. You canât expect yourself to get used to such a big change immediately. It takes time, you know.âÂ
You messed with the lid of your cup, picking at the plastic with a scowl. âI know. But I canât always come running to you whenever I need help. Itâs not fair to you to have to keep rescuing me every time I need saving.âÂ
âOkayâŚâ He trailed off, stretching out the last syllable in confusion. âI feel this is about something more than just last night. We can talk about it, if you would like?â
âI donât know what it is.â You huffed. âI thought I was ready to be on my own, but maybe Iâm not. Maybe I donât know Iâm doing and Iâll never figure it out, andââÂ
âWhoa, whoa, slow down. Where is this all coming from?âÂ
âI donât know,â You repeated, bordering on a whine. âBut what I do know is that I canât always keep relying on you for everything. Itâs not good for me, or for you.âÂ
âYou know, you could always just move back home if youâre truly not ready to do things on your own.â Charles offered, taking a casual sip of his own drink.
Home. He said it so casually, like home was with him instead of this new place youâd chosen to make yours. In a way, Charles was your home. Safety, comfort, loveâall the things that made something home, you felt with him.Â
That was the problem. You didnât feel right relying on him for all those things, not without him being aware of how you actually felt about him. It seemed like too much of a burden to put on a friend, even one as perfect as Charles.Â
His eyes met yours over the rim and he shrugged. âI still donât know why you were so insistent on moving out in the first place.âÂ
You sighed, again. There werenât many ways you could make yourself any clearer. Other than telling Charles one of the real reasons why you had to leave, which again, was more of a last resort (hopefully not at all) type of thing. âIt was timeââÂ
âIt was time for you to venture out on your own, yes, I know. But it doesnât seem to be working out so well right now, does it not?â The last sentence seemed to slip out of Charlesâ mouth before he knew what he was saying, because his mouth snapped shut right afterward. âIâmâIâm sorry, I didnât mean for it to come out like that. I donât want to argue.âÂ
But what had been done was done, what had been said was out there for you to know. Your coffee suddenly left a bitter taste in your mouth, and the traffic from outside became glaringly loud. The once peaceful atmosphere had been shattered now that you knew Charlesâ true thoughts on it all.Â
You stood up, letting your feet take you across the room from him. âNo. Tell me more, Charles. Tell me how you really feel.âÂ
His nose wrinkled at the use of his full name. You never called him Charles unless you were upset with him, which wasnât that often. Even hearing it come out of your own mouth seemed foreign.Â
That seemed to change his reaction, because he stood too instead, doubling down on his words. âOkay. Yes, that is how I feel about you leaving. You barely even talked to me about it, and the next thing I knew, you were packing all your things into boxes! I didnât understand where thisâthis sudden desire to leave came from. I still donât.â
âYou donât have to understand it. Itâs already done.âÂ
âDid Iâdid I do something wrong?â
You almost faltered. Almost.
âDid you ever think maybe me wanting to leave had nothing to do with you?âÂ
âHonestly? No. It feels like it has everything to do with me. It feels like you moved out because you didnât want to be around me anymore!â Charles exclaimed. âAnd I have kept my mouth shut, Iâve been trying to be supportive of your decision, but I think I have a right to know. Am I why you wanted to leave so badly?âÂ
âThatâsâŚpart of it.â You admitted. Charles froze, brows flying up towards his hairline. âBut not because of anything you did. Not because of the reason youâre thinking of.âÂ
âI donât really see any other explanation. And I am sorry, but that is a shit excuse. I wouldâve thought that you of all people would tell me the truth.â He didnât sound angry, just disappointed and a little hurt. Somehow that felt worse. Youâd rather him be mad at you than hurt by you.Â
âI didnât want to move out.â You said firmly.Â
âThen why did you?âÂ
âI had to! IâI couldnât live there anymore.âÂ
âBut why?â He sounded desperate, begging for you to clue him in to any reason, anything at all that would help him understand. And god, as scared as you were of changing things by telling Charles how you really felt about him, you were infinitely more scared of losing him for good if you didnât.Â
âBecause Iâm fucking in love with you, Charles!â You blurted, finally. âI couldnât live with you any longer, keeping this huge secret all the time, because it truly made me feel like I was about to explode. I just couldnât do it anymoreâpretend like everything was alright when every time I looked at you, all I could think about was how I felt about you! How much I felt for you.â Your voice rose with every word, emotion lacing your tone.Â
You could feel the tears burning your eyes, threatening to fall no matter how much you willed them not to. âI just thought, maybe if we lived apart, if we didnât see each other all the time, maybe those feelings would go away.âÂ
Charles blinked at you slowly. He scrubbed a hand over his cheek, across his mouth, letting it disappear into the neckline of his hoodie as he continued the motion near his jaw. Still, he said nothing. You werenât sure if it was a good sign or a bad one, but still you continued.Â
âSo no, it wasnât because of anything you did. Or maybe it was, for making it so fucking easy to fall in love with you. I donât know. Iâm sorry if I made you feel like you couldnât say anything to me, but Iâm not sorry for making the decision on my own. It was for the best.â
There it was, out there in the open at last. It felt like a proverbial weight lifted off your shoulders, but at the same time like a thousand rocks sinking to the bottom of your stomach, because he wasnât saying anything. Maybe this was it. Maybe this was how youâd fuck up the best friendship youâd ever had.Â
Charles was silent for the longest time before he replied, and when he did, his voice was quieter than youâd ever heard it before. It felt unnerving. âYou couldâve just told me.âÂ
âTold you?â You had to fight the urge to let out a bitter, watery laugh. âTelling your best friend youâve fallen in love with him isnât just something you mention at the bathroom sink one night.âÂ
âIt is, if he feels the same way about you.âÂ
A coldness crept down your neck, shooting through your veins like youâd just had a bucket of ice cold water dumped over your head.Â
âNo youâre notâyou don't...you can't.â You whispered, disbelieving.
Charlesâ brows furrowed in confusion. âWhat, do you want me to prove it?âÂ
You couldnât give him an answer even if you wanted to. You werenât sure if you could trust yourself to say a damn word, just in case this was all a dream and you'd wake up any second, still alone, still without him there.
He mustâve taken your silence as a yes to his question, because he crossed the room in three strides, took your face in firm hands, and he kissed you.Â
Despite your utter shock, you managed to kiss him back clumsily, fingers curling into his hoodie tightly. Charles kissed you like he was afraid to let you go, like youâd slip through his fingers if he wasnât careful enough.
A guiding hand curled around the back of your neck, angling your head so he could deepen the kiss, but only for a few seconds before he broke away, panting. His forehead stayed pressed against yours, soulful green eyes boring into your own in total seriousness.
âDo you believe me now?âÂ
âMaybe.â You breathed, letting your nose bump against his gently. This was not a dream. Charles was real and here and one hell of a kisser (just as you suspected).
âI am in love with you.â He murmured, stroking his thumb over your cheek fondly. âI have been for a long time. And I never thought you would feel the same way.âÂ
âI love you, Cha.â You were suddenly brought back to last night, when youâd uttered the same words to him. Only this time, they had a whole different meaning to them.Â
This time, you knew Charles loved you in the same way you loved him.

#persona 3#persona 3 spoilers#minato arisato#makoto yuki#ryoji mochizuki#aigis#ryomina#lizzy does art#HELLO EVERYONE!!! march 5th is upon us again so i bring... my contribution for this year. my third year drawing for it!#i made the thumbnail for this a few weeks after last year's graduation day#i thought it would be fun to lean into the ryominaigis angle of graduation day (you could read this as minato/aigis if you like-#but i feel like most people would read it as ryoji/minato)#IN ANY CASE working on this made me very emotional over this game :') (specifically minato)#i really enjoy how p3 ends it's such a nice way of wrapping up the narrative's messages and themes#working on this. minato's kindness was at the forefront of my mind throughout the piece#and i really wanted to capture how. ultimately it was his decision to sacrifice himself- to do the great seal#while to an outsider's perspective it is. sad that minato passes. i think becoming the seal is something that minato-#actively welcomes. in the same way that death (ryoji) is a comfort to him because death was housed in him for Ten YearsTM#AND I ALSO GOT REALLY SAD OVER AIGIS TOO. i still get fucked up over how in fes's animated cutscene for 3/5 they portray-#her as human and not drawing the robot parts so i wanted to do something smilar here...#but also i am very sad on aigis's behalf because she discovers her humanity through minato and realizes what she-#wants to do and then. well. minato is like. he's ready to pass on (even if he's scared) and im like. OH MY GOD THIS TRIO GETS ME MESSED UP#this was more coherent in my head LOL BUT ough i like drawing p3 and working through my feelings about it...#anyway! happy (in quotations) march 5th. i love this game to bits. it's so fun to draw for this day every year and see how i've improved#if you've read all this thank you :) lizzy appreciates you all very much. mwah! <3

get the peach(es)
bestfriend!eddie munson x reader
it's the day after chrissy got vecna'd and you and the gang decide to check up on eddie at rick's. he's still in so much distress that you can't help but selflessly stay with your best friend (who you've been harboring a crush on for quite some time) and keep him company. 6k words, not proofread.
cw: the good old friends to lovers trope, eddie is an anxious bean who just needs to be held (by you, ideally), mutual (and not so secret at all) pining, i wrote this with fem!reader in mind (she/her pronouns) but can also be read as gn i guess, fluff, hurt/comfort (for eddie), pet names, mentions of chrissy's death, there shall be kisses and a lot of softness. nothing too explicit but minors are still advised to LEAVE
a/n: totally not self indulgent, that scene of him being so terrified in 4x02 ripped me to shreds so this is my fix-it attempt, trying to still my need to hold him and scratch his head. disclaimer: this piece of writing is based on the ending of that episode, meaning all credits for the setting go to the respective writers. sources to the header images here, here and here. lovely divider by saradika. ok thank you so much for reading byeeee love y'all <3
âââââ
The overwhelming need to befriend the satanic metalhead found you at that party at the Wheeler house. You had almost said no to Nancy when she invited you, knowing damn well how the night would end. Steve passed out with a girl on his lap, Robin silently pining after Vickie from some corner of the room while clinging onto the red plastic cup in her hand, Jonathan getting higher than a kite with his old school mates, the younger kids asking you every five minutes if you could give them a ride since you usually were the one staying sober.
Additionally this time, there would be Eddie Munson. This familiar stranger Dustin, Mike and Lucas had met and somehow befriended over the last months, due to them joining his DnD club. "He might come off as a bit intimidating ... but I promise he's super chill and easy going!", Mike had tried to convince his sister, poking the tip of her shoulder repeatedly with a bunch of pleases during lunch break in the editing room of the school's newspaper. Until she rolled her eyes theatrically and agreed to let the ambiguous stranger, which the whole town collectively perceived as not really fitting in (and who you both certainly knew under the not so chill reputation he carried around), attend the celebratory events at Casa Wheeler. Occasion: Karen, Ted and their youngest leaving the house for more than one day, off on vacation.
You'd always kinda stayed out of his ways, used to observe his antics back at school with a silent laugh and this .. intrigue poking at your guts. To you he always stood out, and if anyone asked you'd be hesitant to admit it, but his willingness to go against the flow and not conform to the acceptable standards set by society was honestly impressive. And besides, surely this whole mysterious drug dealer rockstar image must just be a fassade and deep down he's just a dork, right?
His eyes follow you through the living room, an echo of your name crossing his mind repeatedly after having pulled Dustin into a corner for a brief interrogation. He finds it endearing how quickly and almost bashfully you look away every time your curious gaze meets his. As you redirect your focus to the conversation you're becoming engaged in, there's a soft smile creeping onto your lips. Little did he know it would soon start to haunt him in his dreams at night.
"Anything specific you're looking for?"
God, his voice. The close proximity invites your nose to inhale a mix of fresh cigarette smoke, bergamot and sandalwood, allowing you to sense what can only be him standing behind you as you skim through the cabinets of the Wheeler kitchen. You turn your head for your eyes to confirm your assumption and what they find is the deepest brown of round baby cow eyes they've ever met, up so much closer now. The paring of his gaze and plush smile somehow manages to dissolve every little prejudice you've been involuntarily harboring about him. Eddie Munson, the town's freak. Prime reason for the existence of the satanic panic. Drugs. And then you realise that you should probably do the polite thing and give him an answer. "Yeah uh, I was just trying to find the peach syrup", holding his gaze with a small lopsided smile, lost in its warmth which you wouldn't have dared to expect from it, before facing away from him again. He snorts a little, "peach syrup?", pauses to bring a thumb to his upper lip, lightly scratching the skin above as if to wipe something away, before he removes it again and the dimples appear around the corners of his mouth, "that is oddly specific." His response spreads a smile over your face, and the next thing he says widens it, "looks like you have taste though."
You move one step to the side, about to investigate the insides of the next cabinet, the kitchen itself almost empty of people with only three others chatting away in the corner across the island. He follows, undoubtedly trying to stay close, and the heat from the fire he just ignited somewhere inside of you rises to your cheeks. "Thanks, I really like peaches. Especially in my drinks. It adds a little ... kick to my sobriety", you explain, Eddie now quirks an amused eyebrow paired with a lopsided smile at you, and as you get to the last cabinet it dawns on you (and also Eddie) that this household severely lacks peach syrup. An atrocity. Thanks Ted.
After he helped you rummage through the entirety of the kitchen without success but under a lot of small talk, the metalhead vanishes from the function for an hour or so. At least that's what your brain concludes when your vision fails to spot him among the people who are in attendance. Maybe he's selling out of Nancy's bedroom. Maybe he's puking up his insides in the bathroom because he had too much of that weird beer he's been downing all night. Maybe he's banging some random girl in the bathroom upstairs. Or summoning a demon. Or both. At the same time. You once again try focusing your attention back to the conversation you are involved in. Munson already feels so dear to you that the lack of his presence is starting to form an ache in your heart. It's tugging on those strings with how much you already want him near you. Yeah. You're gonna be in trouble with this one.
And then he stumbles into the room from the direction of the front door, an event you're totally unable (and unwilling) to miss. He doesn't look like he just puked, nor sold a whole lot of the stash since you notice it still bulging out the left ass pocket of his black jeans. Instead, as he pushes past the small groups of people socialising â and towards you â while you notice a red net of round fruits dangling from his right hand, and you start to think that his disheveled hair and that rosy tint on his cheeks might actually not be from shagging either. He meets your gaze again as he approaches you with a grin and your heart dares to swell at his attentive gesture (you think you might as well pass away on the spot).
"Have some, peach."
It's not syrup, but you'll take them anyway. And with your next drink, you swallow down not only that peachy sweetness on your tongue, but also whatever this tingly feeling in your chest is.
"Chchhrhch.."
Pause.
"Hey, uhâ chrhchhr.."
Silence in your bedroom, the only thing illuminating the space is the moonlight softly falling through the window.
"Chrchâ a-are you there?"
You stirr awake from dozing off in your bed, trying to piece together the information your senses are giving you.
Eyes gone dry, you have to blink a few times. Figure out which year it is and so on.
Confusion lies between the static crackle for a moment. That nap after your shift at the diner was necessary. God, you need to fucking quit.
"No I'm sure she'll pick right up, justâ hey pleeease b-be awake, goddamn it!â"
Is it already past midnight?
You don't know and you can't tell, the clock on your nightstand still broken. What you do know though is that the familiar voice belongs to your friend Dustin and it's desperately trying to get ahold of you.
They must have found him.
"Dustin? I copy, where are you? What's going on?", you finally grab the device from the nightstand, fully awake and aware of your surroundings now.
You need to know. If he's okay.
There's that all too familiar instant tingle in your chest again, an ache that made itself familiar to you for the first time when he was introduced to you at the one and only Wheeler party several months ago. The dungeon master of Hawkins High's Hellfire club, the lead guitarist of Corroded Coffin and a super chill and easy going guy, to put it in Mike Wheeler's words.
What you didn't expect back then was your heart starting to develop that feeling, that tingle you'd always get to feel when you were in his presence, or like now, when his name is threatening to spill from your friend's lips on the other side of the connection at any moment.
"Aha! See? I told you she'd respond in no time."
You can practically feel Dustin's shit eating grin through the frequency, basking in being correct over Steve Harrington once again. It never gets old between these two.
"Oh my god", Steve's muffled voice is what you can make out vaguely from the off, he's probably palming his face.
"Dustin!", your voice disappears into the device, and your impatience grows with every passing second, hoping he gets the hint.
There's the sound of a door falling shut, leaves rustling under shoes, he must be outside now.
"Alright, okay yeah, so we found him at Rick's and he's really upset and he's been asking for you. I know it's late but can you meet us out here? And maybe, uh, stay with him?"
It's not even worth questioning. You're already wearing shoes. Your biggest hoodie in tow, you stumble into your kitchen with the intention to raid your own snack drawer. Pulling out Eddie's favourite, which you of course had stocked up on ever since hanging out with him at your place had become more of a weekly routine for the both of you.
Ten minutes, you told him. You'd be there in ten.
The drive feels like forever. The longest ten minutes of your life, you think.
You know the route like the back of your hand, having driven along the gravelly road leading from the last intersection before Hawkins' border to the outer world, to the serene woods surrounding Lover's Lake countless times. Eddie would take you here ever so often, for picnics, an occasional smoke after picking up a new delivery from Rick's, cloud or star gazing, listening to Metallica and Tears for Fears on Wayne's old walkman.
The gravel crunches underneath your white reeboks as they land on the ground. You close the door to your car as quietly as possible after you've taken out the bag and your hoodie.
Dustin and Steve are stood outside the boathouse, waving like madmen in the darkness once you come into their periphery.
The younger boy hugs you tightly.
"So glad you could make it", he gets out, the relief palpable through his voice as well as the grip he holds you in for a brief moment.
You look at them both after Steve presses you against him cordially, and breathe out through your nose, making your nostrils flare.
Dustin cracks open the case to you as he starts to ramble about the state in which they found your best friend, "well first he attacked Steve with a broken bottle, we had to put in great effort to convince him that we'd be on his side, and we came to the conclusion that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, basically."
What you want right now goes without saying. Everyone here knows how close you and Eddie are. As friends, of course. No one would think anything different.
Without wasting another second, the boys lead you inside where Max and Robin are knelt on the wooden floor. Heads turning towards the entrance of the room where you're now standing.
The sight of what's offered to your eyes, sitting opposite of them, breaks your heart.
You can see that he's slightly shivering, eyes glassy in the dim lit room. A small smile tugs at the corner of his lips though once his brain grasps your presence, and he can't help anymore but let the water fall once his eyes lock with yours.
The pain that is swimming in those two deep warm brown oceans hits you like a dagger to the chest. Over the months of being friends with him you'd seen him various different states, none of them comparable to this.
"Peach", his shaky voice announces your arrival and the sound of your nickname spilling from his lips cracks through your bones. The bag that's slung around your shoulder drops onto the wood with a dull thud.
Wobbly legs carry him towards you with a gentle shove past Robin and Max. You're once again reminded of your best friend's sheer physical strength as he wraps his arms around you, instantly burying his face into the crook of your neck.
One arm of your own sneaks around his torso, pressing him against you as tightly as your own strength allows you, while your other hand comes up to bury itself underneath the mane and to end up scratching soothingly over the scalp above the nape of his neck.
Eddie lets out a muffled sob, sniffling into the collar of the sweatshirt you threw on in a haste. He doesn't really want anyone to see him like this, certainly not Steve Harrington, so he clutches onto you so tightly that he thinks you might just feel his heavy heart beating anxiously against your chest.
And you do. How could you not with the amount of world he means to you? Like an automatism your other hand rubs slow circles over his back. Comforting him in the best way you could. Not a conscious decision you make.
"Okay so, m'not meaning to ruin the party, in fact I'd love to stay for another round of doom talk, but I really should get home soon, guys", Robin scratches the back of her head after she gets up from her huddled position next to the wooden crate Eddie had been sitting on. Max joins in and agrees, mumbling something about having to move her mom from being passed out on the couch again into her bed.
"Yeah me too, actually. My dad's gonna be fucking pissed. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah?", Steve's voice echoes through the room and you can tell he's already shoved Dustin back outside, itching to drive the kid home.
As Eddie processes having to stay in hiding, added the possibility of everyone leaving without him, his grip on you tightens even more.
"It's okay, Eds", you speak softly, head slightly tilted so your cheek rests on the dark frizzy mop you could call his hair. The skin on his neck and scalp so warm underneath your fingertips as you keep scratching it, emphasizing your presence, "I'll stay."
A soft muffled whimper is what you get as a response, and the way he lets you see him in this state melts your insides to a puddle.
You just need him to be okay.
They wave their goodbyes behind your back, accompanied by mumbles of "see you in the morning", and you can't even bring yourself to turn your head around, fully focused on making the young man in your arms less terrified of the world. A world he was sure was now going to come for him with all its force â in deep conviction of him being responsible for Chrissy's misfortunate end.
The door falls shut and Eddie muffles a quiet thank you into the fabric of your sweatshirt. The skin on your neck is damp with his tears, wet eyelashes tickling every time he blinks.
"It's okay, Eds", you softly keep repeating your words to him while continuously rubbing over the denim of his signature Dio vest in a slow motion, when he feels the urgency to claim the truth into the collar of your sweater about what has happened, "Iâ I didn't do it, I swear."
As if you would need any convincing.
"Oh no of course you didn't, I know that", you're looking for a way to ease the distress this entire situation is causing him, his quivering voice adding to your desire to soothe him to inner peace, "can I make a suggestion?"
Eddie nods with another sniffle against your collarbone, the round wet tip of his nose brushing against the column of your throat lightly. To his ears, your voice sounds like silk right about now.
"How about we head over to the main house and get ourselves a little more comfortable? Since we're gonna be here for a little longer? My god you probably haven't slept or eaten at all, have you?"
You can feel him nod his head again with a hum this time, and you start to think that the tears might not just be pouring because he just witnessed someone suffer a gruesome death right in front of him, but also due to physical exhaustion.
It makes your heart ache even more, that tingle still present, even more so now. It hurts to see your best friend hurt.
He just needs to be okay. And in that heart of yours there's that little spark of hope that leads you to believe you could be the one helping him with that.
You'd really want that. Be all his to find comfort in, to hold close, to kiss stupid
Stop.
A sigh escapes your lungs at the thought. That tingle, that longing, it's selfish. It familiarly pools in your belly and slowly drips downwards. You push your brain aside. This is about soothing your best friend now.
"C'mon then", you utter softly, encouraging him with your hand to lift his head from where it leans against your shoulder.
For your heart it's almost too much to look at, the hurt still swimming in the glassy big brown irises, his waterline red and puffy. The soft smile returning to his lips causes the wet apples of his cheeks to push up slightly, reflecting the dim light coming from the one torch Robin left you, placed on one of the crates.
He really hadn't been able to close an eye for a single second since he he'd gotten up for school the day prior.
You smile back at him almost bashfully as you slowly create space between your bodies.
Eddie is grateful that it's you who grabs his ringed hand next.
He squeezes yours, hoping to get the message of this meaning something to him across.
And he closely trails behind you as you lead the way.
The house feels empty, like no one's really been here in months. You'd never been inside. The few times you'd accompanied Eddie grabbing stash you'd stayed in his van, waiting. But as far as you now can make out in the darkness, there's a couch with knitted blankets, a little TV with a whole stack of VHS almost rising as high as the screen itself, spilled and spluttered empty cans and papers and wrappings littered all around. Maybe this is why he never let you come inside with him. Keeping you out of this definitely not sterile mess. Along with keeping you out of the business.
In the middle of the living room, you let go of his hand and shuffle one step away from him. He's inside now. Safe. Job done. Doesn't need physical contact. You shouldn't, he's your friend. You feel like something between you would break if you'd go there.
Eddie thinks otherwise, regarding close proximity at least. He promptly follows you into what you believe to be the kitchen where you hope you might find a tea bag or two. He comes up behind you and encases you in his arms as you rummage through the cabinets (feels familiar, hm?), not at all ready to say goodbye to the warmth of your body pressed against his own just yet.
You giggle at the silliness of him putting weight on you just to make it harder for you to reach into the cabinets. It's endearing. And very Eddie.
Twenty minutes later and there's two mugs â cleaned to your best ability â with steaming hot liquid on the sixties wooden coffee table. Next to them a plate filled with the almost equally hot insides of a ravioli in tomato sauce can. Thank Rick for a still functioning microwave.
You drape the knitted blankets over both you and Eddie as you settle into the cushions. The only light existent coming from two lit candles on said coffee table. It wouldn't be too wise setting up the torch you think.
The side of Eddie's face glows in the orange yellow, his wide brown bambi eyes dried after the first grand storm, and there's this tug on the corner of his pink plush lips again. He exchanged his leather jacket for the freshly washed hoodie for comfort and a small part of you hopes he doesn't spill his dinner onto any of it.
You lean back into the backrest of the worn out couch and watch as he eats, a domestic thing you've done a thousand times already, yet you still find comfort in knowing that he's nourishing himself.
Or well, in this case, inhaling the raviolis.
"Thank you Peach", he moves to put the empty plate back on the coffee table and it makes the spoon chink and glide along the edge, "I really needed this."
His voice is a little hoarse, probably from the emotions of the hours behind him. Maybe he has indeed calmed down a little. His hand moves down to your thigh, squeezing.
You give him the most empathetic smile you can bring yourself to display, painfully aware of the blaze that is transpiring through your leggings and seeping into your bones, "it's no big deal, really. I mean it isâ uh, being there for you, is."
And he can't bring himself to look up at you. Instead, he stares at the empty plate on that coffee table in front of him.
"And to me as well. It really helps that you're here."
He doesn't bother moving the calloused warmth of his hand from the soft warmth of your thigh. It lights your entire nervous system on fire. In a good way.
And that's when you begin to wonder if everything that has just happened and is still happening right now changes anything.
"I'm so glad it does", is all you're able to get out.
Eddie decides that it's time to lean into your side and wrap his arms around your torso once again, drop his head back to its favourite place with a soft content little hum.
He just needs physical comfort. Of course. Just that. Nothing more, nothing else.
The words are redundant but your mouth articulates them anyway, "try to get some sleep, yeah?"
His back already lifts and falls evenly. You place your hand on the back of his head that rests in the crook of your neck again, scratching through the curls lightly, searching to help him shut off even deeper.
âââââ
The candles have gone out by the time your eyelids slowly open. It takes you a moment to recall the location you fell asleep in, and you hope that the nightly darkness the whole room is now filled with hasn't invited any stranger to take advantage of your unconsciousness.
There's a warm hand holding your face, the pad of a thumb tracing over the apple of your cheek softly. It makes its way from the bridge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye, and back. And forth. And back. And forth.
You must have moved to lie down on your back in your sleep, with Eddie's weight still on your body, legs entangled. It's not the first time you've slept like this, there had been movie nights that had ended similarly.
His hand caressing your cheek though, yeah that is new. There's something unspoken in the air this time around. Your stomach is doing flip flops when you realise that he is propped up on his elbow, just .. looking at you. With eyes that don't require light to hint at whatever it is he is trying to say, or maybe not trying at all.
"Eds, what are you doing?", you ask almost in a whisper followed by a lopsided smile, expecting an unserious answer, because he always tends to make a joke whenever he tries to avoid conversing about emotions regarding his heart.
His thumb stops its acrobatics on your cheek, comes to a halt.
"I'mâ", he takes a deep breath before he continues, "I'm just so grateful it's you that's here right now."
Your hand comes up to cup his. Brush over his rough knuckles with a thumb of your own. Enjoying the warmth that is seeping from his palm into your skin.
"Yeah, I figured you were gonna be a little opposed to spending the night with Harrington", you laugh, an attempt to turn your nerves into humour.
Eddie snorts a little, "yeah right, it's almost like you know me", he grins and pushes himself even closer to your face than he already is. It doesn't necessarily help in extinguishing the fire that's consuming you whole at this point.
"It's almost like we're best friends and I know what you think of him because every time Dustin or literally anyone else mentions his name around you, you're not necessarily secretive about it."
"Hey, my own worldview is not my fault, it's justâ ... he just kinda seems like a douche of the highest order."
"He's quite alright, Eds. Try giving him a chance, I think he'd look great as Coffin's tambourinist."
He snorts again and you feel his breath on the column of your neck next when he dips his head down, nose pressing against the soft skin, his small giggle being swallowed by the collar of your sweatshirt.
Your favourite sound. Ever. Followed by the relieved moan Eddie lets out at the way your other hand is softly rubbing over his shoulder blade. The vibration against your neck makes you twitch as much as being pinned into the couch cushions by his body allows you.
It's soothing as much for you as it is for him.
When he lifts his head, the soft gaze he eyes you with is enough to let the goosebumps erupt. Even in the darkness of the room you can still make out those round buttons that could melt the entire north pole.
"Thank you, Peach, really. I'd be goin' mental right now and probably tryin' to counter that by smoking an equally mental amount of the stash I've been hiding here."
Your heart aches.
"I'm just glad I can be that kind of comfort to you, Eds. You don't have to go through whatever the fuck this is alone."
"I know I'm never gonna be alone as long as you are there."
You almost cry yourself now, his words making your hand travel from his own to his cheek, almost passing out from the way his eyes bore into your own once again.
Eddie isn't sure what it is that is making him feel lightheaded right now. The whole rollercoaster of events of the past hours. Or your words of affirmation. Or mayhaps it is your cute soft hand with that little ring on your thumb which is gently swiping over his damp skin.
That cute soft hand he'd been imagining countless times at night, silently yearning for your eyes to look at him differently, to finally see him in a different light the next time you'd hang out.
Probably a combination of just everything.
You reciprocate his soft half-lidded gaze, hand moving from his cheek to tuck some of his hair behind his left ear, revealing that delicate silver hoop earring you'd gifted to him for his birthday, after having talked your ear off about getting his ear pierced for literal months.
He'd insisted you join him for the appointment, "another metal moment for the books", as Eddie had called it, the need to have his hand held during the stab comically urgent in the way his voice sounded when he called you that day. And in the pace in which he picked you up.
"I'm here no matter what", you respond to his sentiment, that hand that brushed his hair away resting on the side of his neck while leaning the weight of your head into his palm that is still attached to your cheek.
Eddie's confidence reaches a new all time high with the admission of your unconditional support being stirred into the cocktail of hormones and emotions that's been circulating in his bloodstream for a generous amount of time now.
Because then he goes on by saying impossible things.
Impossible things with a slightly less platonic undertone.
"You're so fucking sweet, has anyone ever told you?"
You smile as you shake your head, heat rising to your cheeks once again and you're sure he won't be able to see just how flustered he's getting you (joke's on you he does).
You're also sure he's out of his mind for saying that. Now.
"A shame, honestly. You should scold your best friend for not telling you sooner. Tell him what a fucking idiot he is."
Eddie earns another giggle from you. Music to his ears. Better than Metallica. Okay maybe not but .. pretty fucking close.
"I'll let him know next time I see him", you say with a grin, playing along with pleasure, and you ask yourself why it is only now that you realise just how fucking close his face is to yours.
There is a moment of silence in which Eddie hesitates articulating whatever is seemingly bugging his mind.
"Do you, uh, still like him?"
If you lifted your head just a little your noses would be touching. A silly and utmost redundant question, and yet, Eddie dreads your answer. If the circumstances were different, less dystopian and tragic, you'd seriously wonder what would spark the doubt in your friendship in him, but considering that everyone else would be going to pour their judgement over him, you understand.
Every word exchanged between the two of you at this hour is soaked in mutual infatuation, something the idiots in both of you are slowly starting to fathom as well.
"Of course I do, he's everything to me."
As you say it, you can't help the grin which reappears reliably each time you finish verbalizing your thoughts. It's contagious, you notice.
"And do you think â just hypothetically of course", it's only then he breaks eye contact to clear his throat, "of course", you interrupt him still smiling and cocking an eyebrow at him, "d'ya think it would be okay for this best friend to, uh, maybe...", Eddie pauses, internally watching the ship containing his confidence set sail slowly and ultimately letting the irrational thoughts win for tonight, "would you let him..."
Eddie generally wasn't someone who lacked confidence. It showed in the way he boisterously wandered the halls of Hawkins High, the way his demeanor never changed, his mask never faltered no matter who was around. Except for you. You who he had always granted a look underneath the impulsive, extroverted surface.
"Eds", you try everything in your power to stay calm even though everything inside of you is screaming right now and you're certain you can feel your pulse in your earlobes.
"Would it be just insane of that best friend to kiss you right now?"
You want to squeal and kick your feet, pull him into your face, pinch your own forearm, pass away, leave the house and never return, and stay right where you are forever, buried underneath your favourite metalhead, the parts where your bodies are touching practically on fire, cosy and content.
Instead, the most fond smile spreads over your lips as you try to contain your internal overwhelm.
It's still dark, the only light source being the full moon outside. Eddie's so hopeful of your reciprocation and even more terrified of ruining his entire life at the same time, those deep doe eyes at this point pretty much resemble the shape of the space rock orbiting earth. Rejection from you, his pretty Peach and the Bonnie to his Clyde, would be unbearable.
"I think so," you almost whisper, the hand that's been rubbing over Eddie's back coming up to lightly trace one of his eyebrows with your index finger because you just can't seem to not touch him in some way, "but you should know that I love his insanity."
Your small giggle is being silenced by a soft and cautious kiss from Eddie Munson. Like he doesn't want to break you. Or he's afraid you'll snap out of a haze, slap him and leave if he starts kissing you like he really wants to.
And then it's you who goes for it, you feel at home, right where you belong, you don't think you've ever felt this good. The hand on his jaw tugs him closer softly, pressing your lips to his with a bit more urgency.
It gives him all the confirmation he could possibly need.
That tingle, it grows and fills up your chest and shoots through your entire being, goosebumps and all. Eddie moans and breathes against your lips, tongue dancing over the thin skin, asking for permission.
His ringed hand digs deeper and slowly moves to the nape of your neck, intending to hold you in place, afraid you could slip away from him if he didn't. This blossoming thing between you could slip away from him. If he didn't.
It's so soft, the way his lips touch yours, and before you know it they move to your cheek, to your jaw, down your neck before Eddie comes up again, smiling from ear to ear, to gently bump his nose against the tip of yours and his lips return home with a soft and deep hum escaping from his lungs into your mouth.
Relief floods his veins along with whatever it is you're doing to him. The ability to shut out the insanity of the past hours is what he so desperately wants to cling to for as long as you allow him, even if the dawn will remind him of the horrid reality he's involuntarily become subject to live through now.
"You're making things so much better, Peach, you're so sweet, so fucking cute, so fucking good for me, do you even know for how long I've been dreaming of this?"
Eddie greedily pulls your face into his again, not even giving you a chance to reply and not nearly getting enough of your affection it seems with how fervently his tongue searches for yours.
A gentle collision of skin.
The soft whimpers you let out only spur him on. You not backing away from him, staying with him, letting him be this close to you?
You, the only constant source of consolation Eddie's ever really had.
Life changing.
Soft touches follow soft touches, your thumb traces his jaw repeatedly.
"You don'tâ", kiss, "for how longâ", kiss, "I've been dreamingâ", kiss, "of you as well", you breathe against him and Eddie thinks he might be about to resort to sniffling into your collar again with the amount of relief he is experiencing.
You'd let him.
"Yeah?", he presses his nose into your cheek with his eyes closed, smiling from ear to ear, relaxing his entire body into yours as you let him slide inbetween your legs.
"Yeah, you know how much of a sucker I am for peaches", you grin, another peck to his cheek, his jaw, his neck, your hips slowly finding a rhythm against his own.
Eddie groans at your allusion with a wide grin on his face (and the feeling of your warmth against his dick), before pressing his lips against yours again lovingly, "me too baby, me too."

Your middle-aged, loser Genetics professor who has a dad bod <3
Part 9
Wc. 7.7k
Miguel waits in his car, his gaze not fixated on anything specific; simply forward. He rests his forearm on the car door, window down. The thick hairs of his arm raise as his mind ventures, replaying the past few hours in his mind. A low hum stirs against his chest. Thereâs a sort of glow he emulates as he sits there idly, smizing at nothing in particular. He probably looks like a total creep with how heâs grinning in his car, alone, looking off into space. No passenger. You've sat there for the past few months, from campus to your place, and vice versa. But today, you arenât there, yet heâs happy. His heartbeat intensifies, his stomach contracting once or twice due to unfiltered chuckles. As he waits patiently in the car, he lets it consume him, the memory of that morning, and he closes his eyes.
âOkay, what do you think?â you reach your arms out as if to present a prize, and the winner is Miguel. Miguel, who looks uncomfortable in your too-small-for-him lounge chair but shows no sign of strain on his face, fixes his glasses and observes with love-sickened eyes. After a simple, romantic breakfast at his place, he insisted on taking you back home so that you could get ready. Then after dropping you off, you figured he might as well stay so he can take you to the ceremony, too.
âIs it too much?â You give a little twirl.
His eyes scan thoroughly scan you. âJesus⌠Howâd I get so lucky?â The question sounds genuine, as if needing an actual answer. âYouâre beautiful, mama.â
This makes you smile in return. You look to the mirror to see if Miguel is right (obviously, he is), running your hands over your pre-planned graduation outfit. Today, you receive your hard-earned Masterâs Degree, and even though throughout the year you were convinced you wouldnât be, youâre feeling more nervous than ever. âPicked it myself.â Your voice wavers just a hint. Has two years really gone by so fast? More specifically, the second year of your grad. The first one felt like eons. Maybe itâs just because you didnât score an Adonis of a professor that year.
Miguel stands from his chair and comes from behind, his hands snaking through the gap between your arms and waist, holding you tightly against his plush exterior, âI just wish I was the one who got it for you.â and a kiss is pressed to your temple. His grasp seemed to soothe your nerves a bit, your body sinking into his natural warmth and plush. You can see his face through the mirror, the absence of doubt and judgment in his expression making you fall all over again. You really were a lucky girl. He looks at you with such reverence. And maybe a touch of arousal. Those arenât his keys you feel on your backside.
âOh, stop. Youâve given me more than enough, Miguel. All I need is you.â With his chin resting on the top of your head, you reach to cup his face, a picture-perfect moment displayed on the full-length mirror. He whispers into your ear, âGiving you lessons doesnât count, thatâs just my job. te voy a dar el mundo, mi Vida.â
âRight, right, and Iâm guessing giving me that necklace was a part of your job description?â
You win a rich, dark chuckle from him, but he ignores you, still sprinkling kisses on your skin, his bifocals bending out of place at times. You giggle and even try to break away, but he doesnât budge. You fight the urge to kiss back just to spite him.
âOr that skirt? Or those shoes? Or that one purse? Damn, how much does the school pay you?â
And before you can further argue, he presses more kisses onto you, almost sending both of you to topple over. âJust let me spoil you, mama.â He speaks against your jaw.
âMiguel!â the gravel chuckle of his voice continues to rumble against the side of your neck. You canât complain and never will, but the difference between Miguel now versus the Miguel you met still leaves you baffled to this day. Or it isnât much of a difference or change, really, but rather an unmasking. This Miguel was just stowed away until further notice; placed in the backest corner of the freezer to never see the light of day. This is the person Miguel was dying to show, he just needed the right person to coax it out of him. Now you have him attacking you with wet kisses in the middle of your living room, his hulking arms locked around you with no chance at an escape.
âRight, enough fooling around and help me into this, will you!â Reluctantly, heâll let you move your hair for better access to the still-open zipper of your outfit.
âFine. On one condition.â
Sigh. âYes?â
âUn besito.â
âOh my God.â
âTake it or leave it. Last offer. Donât make me make it two.â
âGiven thereâs no one else around to zip me up, I guess I have no choice. Just my luck.â you joke, eagerly leaning your head back against his chest, granting his kiss entry to your neck, your chin, and then lastly, your lip. And then one kiss turned to multiple. If you werenât so completely lost in his tongue and lips, youâd notice his hand rested and wrapped around your neck. The minor callouses provided a sensation that only added to the fervor of the exchange. Once yâall finally pull away, low eyes traveling in triangles, he politely requests, âStep forward for me.â
You move forward slightly so as to give him space to zip you up. But before he can do the job, he takes a second to look over the details of your back, a part of your body his hands have gotten to know very well, but his eyes havenât gotten the same pleasure of. Miguel was very good at respecting your boundaries and wishes, which meant a lot (a lot) of making out, but nothing further than that. He notes to himself how soft it looks, the hills and curves of your spine creating a Grecian masterpiece.
And you can practically feel his eyes roam every inch of exposed skin, making you feel like art. You think to say something, but youâd rather let Miguel have this moment, and you let yourself have it, too. Youâd often think about what itâd be like to see Miguelâs reaction to you. All of you. Heâs made you feel nothing but like a deity for the duration of your budding, unlabeled relationship, and youâve been fully clothed at all times. You can only imagine how heâll act when youâre completely bare.
You know for sure he loves you. He said so. And heâs shown it to you. Youâve decided that being that vulnerable with him is something you want, itâs only a matter of when.
You start to hear the friction of the tab pulling the teeth together, one by one, thatâs how slow Miguel was going. Unable to resist the urge, he stops the zipper and reaches to plant a tender kiss on the back of whatâs left of your exposed neck. âI could do this every day, you know?â he admits softly, like a hymn. You turn, not completely, just so that your face is to him, ââEverydayâ? For how long?â You know the answer, kind of, but thereâs still curiosity in what heâll say. There are so many instances where you wait for Miguel to say the wrong thing; to do something thatâll break this spell, but he hasnât. He just doesnât have the capacity to. Heâs perfect in your eyes.
âFor however long youâll have me. Which Iâm really hoping is forever or else thisâll be extremely embarrassing.â
Damn, he said the right thing. People can say his stab at humor is mediocre all they want, but Miguel never ceases to make you snicker. If you opened an Oxford Dictionary to âadorableâ, itâd have his picture.
âWho am I kidding, you could absolutely humiliate me and Iâd still say âthank youâ.â
âOh, thisâll make some good blackmail.â you finally turn around to tauntingly wave your index finger at his amused expression.
âOye, Final exam grades arenât due âtil next month, so Iâd be careful if I were you.â his brow perks when he says âyouâ, and your only response is a sarcastic âOoooooâ before youâre muffled by the millionth kiss of the day, but whoâs counting?
âThere. Secured. Anything else, princesa?â
You take a deep breath, getting in one last overall look in the mirror before facing him, âOkay, yeah, Iâm ready. Just need my chauffeur.â You look over at Miguel, who looks back at you confused, then looks around knowing fully well thereâs no one else except the two of you.
âOh, yeah? Who?â
Ha ha ha. Very Funny. If expressions could talk, this is what yours wouldâve said.
Miguel smiles, taking your hand to kiss the back of it, and rubs your knuckles with his thumb as an apology. âYour chariot awaits, your majesty.â
Wait, where is he going?
âMig, stadiumâs that way.â your thumb points toward the window next to you, the street that leads to the graduation growing farther and farther.
Despite that a mistake has obviously been made, Miguel looks indifferent, eyes aimed straight at the road before them with no sign of a doubt. He huffs from his nose before responding, âI know,â his thumb runs across the back of your hand, âI have something for you, though.â He takes your hand up to his lips, a smile creeping up on your features.
âAt your office?â
âAccidentally left it there.â
What is he up to?
His crooked smile tells you a different story. Miguel can feel you questioning him. You can see him physically gather his words in the driver's seat.
âRemember when⌠we were in the library one of those first nights and we exchanged books?â
You nod. How could you forget?
âAnd I told you about Gabriella?â
You nod again. Heâs asking obvious questions here, itâs sort of scaring you.
âThat was my first time talking about her with someone. In years.â His chest and belly deflate as if releasing a weight heâs held onto, âAnd youâre also the first person whoâs said her name out loud. Someone other than me. In a very long time.â
You listen intently, everything that has happened up until now making more sense with this piece of information. You always knew the painful fact that Miguel has been by himself mostly since starting teaching, but it stings even more knowing that heâs never opened up to anyone about this. No one to turn to. No one to be soft with. Sure, he had his friends, from what you remember him telling you about his hero, multi-dimension, whatever-it-was days, but to your understanding, they all left him alone. By means of Miguelâs requests. He wanted those days to be over completely.
âShe was beginning to feel like- I donât know. Like a figment of my imagination. Photos and videos that I rewatch and stare at every single day were starting to⌠go stale,â this admission makes him wince in shame, âI replay them over and over again⌠and nothing new. I know what happens in each and every single one of them. And it ends up hurting every single time. I didnât know how much more I couldâve taken before stopping altogether.â His lips purse, the guilt seeping from every inch of him. âWell, at some point, I even became afraid. Terrified that I was starting to forget the little things about her, or worse, that Iâd move on,â
You didnât even notice, but the car had been parked minutes ago, itâs only when he turns his face to look at you, eyes beginning to gloss, when you realize the car had stopped.
âUntil that night.â His narrow gaze softens.
âThe night at the library⌠I told you things that I hadnât even thought about until that night. Like, for example, how she liked to match the color of her hair ties to her shirt,â Miguel allows himself to softly beam with this memory, âor whenever Iâd fall asleep on the couch, sheâd always, always, place a blanket on my feet so that âthe monsters donât get meâ,â you both giggle at this, âLike those things? They had just come back to me in that moment.â
You both had entered campus grounds and turned to his office door, and he whipped out his keys, the metal hitting against the doorknob. The halls are quiet and hollow. It feels like the end of an academic year.
âI just never thought I could possibly let those things slip.â His voice lowers, an air of disbelief in his words.
âWill you ever stop loving her?â
âOf course not. Never.â
âThen she will live on forever. Youâve proven to yourself that youâll never let the small things leave. Theyâll always come back to you.â
Miguel smiles to himself, thinking about this.
He heads toward his bookshelf, reaching for something, but you canât see given that he himself blocks the entire view of it. âWhen I hear you say her name,â you see his head bow down at something in his hand, âYou sound so⌠lively... If that makes sense? Like⌠as if she were still here, as if you knew her. It meant a lot to me. Even in the way you talked about her. Maybe it explains why I was able to recall so much.â
He turns around to you, and you can only make out something small in his hand; something blue?
âI figured that, if she were still here, sheâd want you to have this.â
He unfurls his hand and out blossoms a satin blue ribbon formed in a rosette; the words âfirst placeâ are displayed in the center. âWear it today?â He stands before you, the dwarfed ribbon sitting in his hand. His request sounds more like a plea.
âHer teammates gave it to her when she scored their winning goal. She was so happy. It was her last game before she-â Both gazes leave the ribbon and land on each other, glossed and daring to well.
He clears his throat, âShe used to- used to show it off any chance she could,â His eyes well up, but regardless of presuming tears, he looks down at the ribbon with a soft smile.
âMiguel,â Your head slowly shakes from side to side, âI canât.â
âYes you can,â he persists, âTake it, itâs yours.â He insists through choked words. He places the ribbon in your hand, folding your fingers in, hoping that youâll accept his gift.
Here stands a man youâve been falling so hard for for the past year, who is not only giving you a piece of his late daughterâs life, but insisting you take it. You havenât been around enough to know what love is, but with what Miguel is doing right now, youâre starting to think maybe this is what it might look like. When you started seeing Miguel, who was your professor, you didnât think all those thoughts of him being yours would ever have come true. You knew it was silly, childish, and most importantly, out of the question. Yet here he is, giving you a piece of himself. This isnât casual anymore. So he did really mean those three sacred words said last night and this morning.
After letting the ribbon sit there for just seconds but what feels like minutes, you take his hand back, but the ribbon is now pressed between you and Miguelâs palms. You give it a tight squeeze, taking in a deep breath. âItâs ours.â
You look up at him, a trail of a tear down your cheek. âBecause Iâm yours, if youâll have me,â a bright smile grows behind your wet eyes. âAnd Iâm really hoping itâs forever, or else thisâll be extremely embarrassing.â You actually laugh, and so does he, pooling eyes and all.
âYouâre stuck with me. I love you.â
With those words, it was like the past five years of being alone became all worth it. All the lonely nights, all the predictive mornings, and the dune of a civilian life he was leading came crashing down on him because he knew a new one was dawning. Still civilian, but now, he has someone to put all the love he has to offer into. All his fears, all his insecurities, it all dissolved. The label of your relationship was blurry, uncertain if this was the kind of thing you entertained for only a bit and never spoke of again or something worthwhile. If last night wasnât a confirmation of the answer, then this moment was, marking it as the official beginning of a romantic, exclusive, official relationship.
âI love you. I love you. Te amo. Te quiero. I love you. I love you⌠I love youâŚâ his soft declarations are muffled in kisses on any spot he could get to. All those fantasies heâs conjured in his mind where you two live together, share a life, make a life⌠or two⌠or three⌠or however many youâre willing to carry, he doesnât care, all of those scenarios now seem like promises. Like a nearby reality. Solitary nights dreaming about you in ways that leave him hot and bothered will finally come to an end. On a more suggestive note, Heâll finally be able to get through class without raging hard-ons again.
âI love you.â You manage to breathe out between kisses. Arms wrap around the back, hands wrap around the neck, fingers rake through tussles of hair, and legs begin to lose balance and find their way to the edge of Miguelâs desk. Visions become blurred, ears begin to grow hot, and heart rates quicken with beats large enough to feel on each otherâs chests. You two are much too deep in it that you donât hear the creaking of the wood underneath you. âYes. Please.â Miguel hears your whisper, moving his head to look you in the eye. âYou meanâŚ?â He asks gently, to which you nod, repeating your plea. Without much thinking, Miguel taps your thigh. This was it. Miguel didnât hear you say the exact words, but he knew. He knew what you were saying yes to. You, much less thinking, instinctively raise your leg, allowing Miguel to prop you onto the desk. âI love you. So much, itâs crazy, Miguel. God, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.â You mewl in his ear, and in return, Miguel, with softly knitted brows, lets out a pathetic groan. Miguel may be quiet in everyday life, but when it came to the two of you, alone, he wasnât afraid of being vocal about what he liked, and right now, with what youâre saying plus your legs wrapping securely around his waist seemed to have both an audible and physical effect on him. A big physical effect.
Is this the right spot to do this right now? Couldnât yâall get in trouble? Was this even a good time?
These are questions that a sane person would probably think of, but with the current circumstances, you simply couldnât give a damn, let alone Miguel. Even if you tried, you donât think you wouldâve even had enough brain wattage to string a single thought with Miguel touching you like this. However, if you had the luxury of logic, youâd know that:
1. Getting in trouble isnât of concern since faculty are either at home starting the Summer theyâve been so impatiently waiting for, and students are at home doing the same or at the stadium.
2. Given that the ceremony wonât start until another 2 hours from now, itâll give you both plenty of time. The traffic wouldâve been dreadful anyway, so might as well just show up at the last minute.
3. What better place than here⌠where you two met.
You breathe heavily along with Miguel, âRemember⌠the first meeting⌠I sat right in front of this desk,â Miguel makes an effort to listen, but heâs currently too occupied with straining his hard-on against your heat, âMm-ohâŚnow look at us.â your breathless voice and coquettish smirk goes straight to Miguelâs cock, the feeling of his pants shrinking in size making him hot all over. Trapping your lips between his over and over again. You're pretty much without oxygen at this point, but you donât care, it feels amazing. His teeth on your lips, his hands squeezing the flesh of your ass deeper against his length. Your fingers tugged onto his now disheveled curls and he whined. He whined.
âMama, you donât wanna know how many times Iâve imagined this moment. Fuck, am I dreaming again?â His words hit your skin like the thick air after a calm rain.
You cup his face in your hands, pulling him from your neck, and youâre met with a lust-drunken, devoted worshipper; a big man thatâs been stricken of sex for far too long. In doing so, you notice the ribbon still in your hand, which knocks a bit of sobriety back into you. Itâs almost like Miguel read your mind because the same alarm goes off in his head. With that, the two of you are quick to mend one tiny problem.
Miguel, still between your legs, reaches over to lower any pictures he has of Gabriella, faced down on the shelf. As for you, you stash the ribbon safely in a drawer right behind you. Gabriella shouldnât be present for this.
Capturing you in a kiss again, your hand ends up untucking his shirt, resting on his stomach, your fingers caressing his skin. He huffs, slightly tickled by your soft touch along his belly. The corner of his lip curves into a dorky smirk as you sneak your hand into the waistband of his slacks and boxers, pushing past his dark happy trail. âOh fuck. Havenât been touched like this in so long,â The clank of his belt buckle rings in your ears, making you pulsate, âI need you. So fucking badly.â
âKeep talking. Please.â You murmur, unbuttoning his shirt, unveiling a plethora of chest hair covering a body fit to raise your future children.
âSo lonely, honey⌠miss you every night when I come home. Miss you so much in the mornings, it hurts.â
Once his shirt is on the floor, with hands and eyes, you revel in all his glory: six feet and nine inches of caramel deliciousness, coated in equal parts of muscle and fluff. You could come undone just from this sight.
His hand holds your chin with a soft caress of his thumb, âI used to look a lot better back then. Iâll work on it.â
You pull him down by his neck to eye level in protest. âDonât you dare change a single thing on this body. Youâre perfect. Youâre beautiful. Finest man Iâve ever laid eyes on.â Oh, that made his dick twitch. Your free hand wraps around his broad shoulders while the other is in his hair, smashing faces. Miguel, with no hesitation, swipes everything off the desk and instantly pushes you onto your back, his soft husky exterior pressing you against the cold wood. Tongues are down throats. He stutters as his dick twitches, âTell me I can eat you out.â The question and tone of voice alone make your back arch. You kiss even deeper, tongues intertwining as he moans in your mouth.
âGod, yes, please, Mig, please-â
He gives a vicious squeeze to your ass, reminding you of his pure strength, âThatâs not what I want. Usa tus palabras, mamita.â Your begging makes his cock ache, but he needs to hear the words. He needs to know you want this as much as he does. He needs your permission.
Your top lip curls before you speak again through hooded eyes, âProfessor,â the name catches him off guard, âplease⌠fuck me with your mouth.â
You were playing a dangerous game. Before you was a sexually deprived middle-aged man whoâd been silently pining for you since day one, and you were begging him to treat your cunt like a 5-star meal. Having a gorgeous girl like you pleading for him to tongue fuck you like you deserved, it was driving him crazy. He wasted no time going down to the most sacred corner of this divine body.
âFunny⌠I zipped this up not even half an hour ago.â
âHey, hey, careful, I still have a ceremony to wear this to.â
You had a point. And as if you were a gift, he bunches the fabric high enough to reveal some panties heâd recently given you. If it wasnât for him wanting to last for both hours until the ceremony, he wouldâve came right then and there. He looks at you with darkened eyes, a gaze intense enough to strip the cockiness from you, your cheeks growing hot from the act, âWhat? I assumed this was gonna happen later-â
Miguel cuts your sentence short with a French kiss to your clit through the thin lace, the combination of his nose, tongue, and breath on your heat making your thighs shake. â So wet⌠you always this wet during class? Fuck.â With how Miguel was moaning and groaning against your sensitive skin, youâd assume he got more pleasure in giving you head than you did receiving it. Your hand darts for his scalp, the other holding onto the edge of the desk for dear life once he hooks the panty with his finger to move it out of the way, pursuing even more thirstily now. The wood creaks with each buck of your hips, but with the way Miguelâs arms hold your weight on his wide shoulders effortlessly, it doesnât phase you. Breathless prayers of his name left your lips, panting softly as your head fell back against the table. You can feel the bundle in your core form as your whimpers turn to wails.
âMig, sâgood, feels so good. Iâm close, pleasepleaseplease-â
Meanwhile, his eyes were practically to the back of his head, hips pathetically bucking to the matching rhythm of your hips as he took turns treating your clit like a lollipop and your entrance like a fleshlight. âMâgonna- aw fuck⌠voy a cuidarte, mamita, donât you worry your pretty little head.â you hear through a whine before his tongue is back at it again. His hands take turns squeezing your thighs tighter around his head and occasionally using his forefingers to stimulate your sensitive bud. His glasses start to fog, and his eyes are covered by humid lenses. This was starting to obscure his perfect view of you and your euphoric expressions, and he just couldnât have that. So, he pulled away for only a millisecond just to basically rip them off and he was right back to devouring your weeping cunt. Thereâs no way he was missing this.
Youâre choked whines signify the peak, your body trembling uncontrollably. This will be the first of many, and heâs only getting started. When the man promises to take care of you, heâs gonna take care of you.
He spends the remainder of your climax lovingly rubbing his fingers up and down your pussy, making sure you ride it out all the way to the very end.
âGood, baby? You okay?â he purs back into your ear, tenderly caressing your thighs and planting gentle kisses of reassurance on your face. You nod with half-lidded eyes, catching your breath before replying âyesâ.
âTell me what you want, mama.â
âFuck me, professor. Please?â
âSay that again.â
You look at him above you, your legs pulling his waist closer so that his aching length meets your pulsing core, âPlease, I want you to fuck me, professor.â Whilst maintaining eye contact, Miguel reaches down to put your hand on the bulge. âLook what you do to me.â Your theory of his size is confirmed.
âThis what you wanted?â
âNeed it.â
âCâmere.â
Miguel sits you up, telling you to relax since âheâll do all the workâ. He carries you to his office couch. He plops onto the cushions with you straddled on his lap. While he has your tongue entwined with his, he releases his cock from the restraints of his boxers, the base erects against his lower belly. Not wanting to waste another second, although the view of it was mesmerizing, you sit up on your knees to line yourself up with him, but Miguel sits you back down, âNo hay prisa, mamita, need to get you ready, but first,â His hand snakes to the back of the zipper, and the dress unveils, âNeed to see all of you, beautiful.â you seem to knock the air out of him as he lets his hands explore you, your breasts the perfect hand full. âYouâre so fucking hot.â He even looks up for a moment and thanks God for blessing him with someone like you, making you look down at the endearing gesture.
Your body goes limp once he laps at your chest, sucking and pulling like it was his first meal in ages. The feeling of his tongue circulating your hardened buds made you clench around nothing. He has you in a bear hug, front sides pressed against each other. The small room seems to disappear around the two of you, totally forgetting where you are, in both space and time. Itâs just you, Miguel, and the beautiful sounds of pure, raw pleasure.
âMig, wanna make you feel good, too.â
Miguel unwillingly pulls away, only half-hearing what you said, and not given even a chance to process. Youâve already positioned yourself on your hands and knees next to him on the couch. Kitten licks and tender sucks to the tip send Miguelâs head falling against the back of the couch. You know heâs needing more when his hips buck upward, and youâre more than willing to give it to him. Occasionally, youâd rest your head against his stomach chub to give him a few rewarding strokes, admiring his size, just to let it sink back into your hollowed mouth. You managed to get Miguel growling, hoarse moans spilling from his bitten lips as you tend to his stiffened cock that youâve daydreamed of tasting.
âBaby, please, slow down, not gonna last long.â But it was no use. You were relentless on his aching manhood. The only way to get you to go easy on him was to reach over your ass and pump his fingers into you, so thatâs exactly what he did. You whine with his tip in the back of your throat, but youâre able to still keep him in. To Miguelâs hopes, you do slow down, the mutual pleasure putting both of you in sync.
âLetâs come together, mamita, hm? Can I put another one in, baby?â
He takes your eye contact as a cue to put in a third, thick finger, eliciting a high-pitched moan against his veiny shaft. Having both ends of you completely filled was, in all honesty, a bit overwhelming, but itâs the best feeling youâve ever felt. Thereâs no one else you wouldâve rathered have you like this than your Mig.
His fingers get faster, and your strength to keep his cock inside is dwindling, but for him, you try, nonetheless.
âThatâs it, mamita, thatâs itâŚâ His fingers are unbelievably fast at the point, droplets sent flying and falling onto the fabric of the couch. Thatâs something heâll worry about later, but right now, his goal was to get you absolutely fucked out and coming all over his hand. Unable to hold it anymore, you free him from your mouth, letting yourself cry and whine freely as he finger fucks your second orgasm out of you. Still determined to have him come with you, you pump him with your hand as you ride off your high on his hand. Miguel wants to praise you, but his panting and mewling get in the way. You had this gentle giant making what would be considered embarrassing noises, but symphonic music to your ears. At the first sign of his juices, you place him back into your mouth, but this time, he holds your hair and fucks up into your mouth in short, fast, desperate thrusts until heâs finished.
You donât even let him have a moment to breathe once you start kissing up his happy trail and to his stomach; what once was a pack of abs has given way to pudge. You kiss a little higher, giving his pec a gentle lick where itâs most sensitive, making him sharply inhale as a result. They proceed to the valley of his pecs, up his neck, to his jaw, and cheek. If Miguel still had doubts in the back of his mind about your love for his body, theyâve vanished now.
Your lips meet now, and various soft âI love youâsâ are exchanged.
âJust want you to sit back nâ relax now, mami. Wanna see that gorgeous face,â Holding onto your head and lower back, he carefully lays you on the couch, âCan I?â The gentle dominance this man radiated was good enough to make you already contemplate marriage. The expression on his face reflected utter devotion and praise. You thought his kind were only written in books.
âOf course, professor. Gotta repay you for all those private sessions.â Even after two orgasms, you still had to keep the cliche going. Miguel was unable to help a small chuckle. He had no problem playing right along, though. âYou made it so hard to focus in class, you know that?â His voice is dark and low, a stark contrast to the noises he was making just a minute ago. He speaks while spreading your legs like precious artifacts, lining himself up. Finally.
âSitting there all gorgeous nâ smart. Drove me insane.â He whispers into your ear, his leaking tip making a connection to your entrance. âAnd then having the audacity to help your classmates? How dare you have a heart just as beautiful.â He kisses you while sliding inside, muffling your gasp.
He tuts against your mouth, âYo se, bebita, me tooâŚmmnnshit,â His hand caresses your hair in an effort to soothe at least some tension, âIâll go slow, mama, mâkay? Gonna take care of y- oh fuck,â His forehead presses against yours, his free hand holding onto yours as he slowly slides in and out, gauging how deep you can take him. The stretch induces a euphoric pain, causing you to squeeze his hand, but he squeezes right back, your cunt sucking him in all too well.
Miguel starts to go stupid once heâs halfway in. The sensation has him beginning to babble, choked words coming out in a gentle lull.âQue ricoâŚFeel good, mamita? Itâs okay mama, let me hear you. Please, let me hear you.â He talks delicately as he continues to go in and slowly draw out with only half of himself, just to be sure you're warmed up enough for all of him. Your eyes are closed, trying to focus on breathing, but it only makes it more difficult. It worries Miguel. âToo much, baby? Iâll stop.â And just as heâs about to pull out, you use your other hand that was clinging onto the arm of the chair to stop him, âNonono, please,â He lowers himself, still connected, âNeed you, Mig. Please, keep going, donât stop.â You beg, the undeniable need in your voice making Miguel go weak. He puts all his weight on you, cautiously going all the way inside. When he gets as deep as he possibly can, his tip kissing you right in the perfect spot, he pecks your forehead before telling you, âYou look so pretty taking it, beba.â
Miguelâs words are slurred as he begins fucking you, thick fingers playing at your clit as he does. He canât help but prop himself on his elbow just to get a look of himself going in and out of you, the slick sounds and what looks like a bulge of his cock sending him into insanity, driving him to go desperately faster. He gets lost in the way every time he pumps in, he creates a hill in your stomach. You look down, too, seeing what heâs seeing, and it only makes his name fall from your mouth embarrassingly loud, as well as telling him how good he feels and how much you love him, every syllable coming out with pure verity.
Not now since youâre too busy getting amazingly fucked, but later on, youâll surely think about how good of stamina Miguel has for his age. He shouldâve been tired by now, but the man was rutting and there was no sign of him slowing down anytime soon. When his mouth wasnât latched onto yours, heâd speak nonsense to you. Heâd let out long, exasperated âYesâsâ into your ear, unafraid to let his unfiltered noises fill the room. When he knew he was being too rough, heâd slow his thrusts until he was dragging his dick in and out of you, pumping ever so slowly and lovingly. It was then heâd be able to coherently form sweet words of nothings, âIâm obsessed with you. Wanna keep you like this forever.â
Whether he was going rabid or making sweet love, Miguel still made sure to hold your hand through it all.
He can feel himself coming soon. As if he needed to be deeper into you, he only stops for a nanosecond to bring your knees over you, pressing you even deeper into the couch, so as to better ram your already abused pussy. Your panting heightens in pitch. âRight there, sweetheart? Aww Fuck, there it is.â His big, strong hands hold your knees in place where they frame your head. Your bodies are sweaty, only enhancing the lewd sounds of his hips smacking your ass with each thrust. When your pussy flutters around him, it makes his eyes roll back. Heâs already made you orgasm twice by now, getting his juices all over you, but he needs more. âI canât stop.â He stammers through a slack jaw.
âMigâŚdunno if I c-can⌠going-â
He slows down his rhythm, hands cupping your face to make eye contact, âBaby, please, gimme one more, just one more. Promise.â
With a nod of your head, he buries you in his arms, his face in your neck, body on body, leaving no space between you, and he rams into you like no tomorrow, luring one last orgasm from you. The way the curve of his belly and muscles rubbed against you was the icing on the cake. You feel Miguel getting closer with the way he moans into the crook of your neck. You are, too.
The dam breaks loose with an outcry of his name, to which Miguel lifts his head to kiss your tears as you peak, his own following right behind. Once it starts to descend, a rain of butterfly kisses fall on your face, âIâve got you, sweetie,â he coos, âI love you so much⌠mamita,â he gently calls to get your attention, âYouâre the best thing thatâs ever happened to me.â
You at least accomplish a weak smile, requiting the love with a kiss to his swollen lips.
There was no need to rush, so the two of you just lay there, embracing each other.
âMiguel,â
âHm?â He hums against your skin.
âI feel like Iâm in a fairytale.â
âMe too.â
6:49 PM.
You donât know how, but in one hour, Miguel and you were able to go back to your place, shower (separately. You two knew a joint shower wouldâve most definitely led to other things.), redo your makeup, fix your and Miguelâs hair, and leave to the stadium with moderate traffic. You look in the passenger seat mirror for the last touch-ups.
âPraying I donât trip on that stage. If I do, itâs your fault.â
âIâll happily take the blame.â He gives your thigh a small squeeze, in which you glare at him in return. The shit-eating grin on his face still made you smile, though.
You sit in your assigned seat among a sea of students, dawning the traditional cap and gown, with numerous achieved stoles and ropes around your neck, but only one stands out from them all, and one that you consider your best achievement: Gabriellaâs Blue Ribbon.
You look down at it, giving it a little tug to straighten it out. You look up to search for Miguel in the enormous mass of seats, but it isnât too hard. All you had to do was find the freakishly tall man with glasses, and when you do, you smile at him. As subtly as possible, he mouths âI love youâ, and you do it back. You think to blow him a kiss, but given the situation, you also think it better not to in public. You still donât have that degree in your hand, and you canât risk anything, especially not when youâre so close. But trust, the second that piece of paper is in your hand, Miguel is all yours, no shame attached.
Youâre on the edge of your seat the entirety of waiting for your name to be called, and once it is, you feel you could cry. You walk across the stage, a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment filling you to the brim. Miguel watches on, a prideful expression on his face. You shake hands with a few faculty members, some you grew to love and will cherish, some you secretly wished would accidentally fall through a manhole, before you get to the dean, who currently holds your degree in their hand. Youâre congratulated once itâs in your hand, the feeling of two very difficult years weighing down on your hand. It feels good. Smiling ear-to-ear, you look out into the audience as you walk across, degree facing outward for the whole stadium to see because one thing for sure is that everyone in the establishment will know that you did that. Your smile shines like a thousand stars, at least to Miguel. His heart could explode with how much love and awe he feels for you. Heaven knows he tried to make a new life for himself by putting the Spider-Man title to rest, and though he was successful, he was still missing a piece of himself. In this moment, heâs thanking you for taking a chance on him; for letting a different man, a happy man, come out for a while, and hopefully, for the rest of his life.
And thatâs where he sits now, in the car, waiting for you in the parking lot. Prior to the ceremony, it was agreed that Miguel would slip away just a couple of minutes early (basically skip the deanâs farewell speech) so that you and Miguel could beat the crowds and go celebrate wherever he had planned for you. Hoards of crying mothers and cheering students catch his attention. It mustâve ended. It only takes a moment for him to pick you out from the crowd, immediately exiting the car to open the passenger door for you.
âCongratulations, mi vida.â He calls out, leaning against the car.
Elated, you crash into him, arms around his neck, legs lifted in the air, and you kiss him. You pull away with a joyous mwah.
You both retreat into the car. âYou helped, my cute lil geneticist.â Giddiness beams from your voice. You reach over the center console to cup his chin and squeeze it, puckering his lips to kiss him again and again. This makes him chuckle. He may be older and bigger in every sense of the word, but at the end of the day, he is and always will be your dork. Your teddy bear.
âI just taught you a few formulas. This was all you, mama,â he starts the car but glances at you for a second. âWhat?â You tilt your head.
âI wanna thank you.â
âFor what?â Every time Miguel opens his mouth, youâre reminded of what a lottery win youâve made. You grab his hand to hold it up to your heart; the same spot where Gabriellaâs ribbon is pinned.
âFor loving me. The way you do.â
âThank you.â
âFor what?â
âFor letting me.â
His brows furrowed, his lips curled into a soft smile. He notices the blue ribbon. He caresses one of its tails, and a few of his heartstrings pull at the sight. He knows that if Gabriella were there, she wouldâve been the loudest in the stands. âWish she couldâve been here.â
You press his hand against your heart.
âShe is.â
Miguel has told you so much about her that at this point, she feels like yours, and you feel that sheâs there. You know with your whole heart that she is.
You both share one more tender kiss before Miguel pulls out of the lot.
âWell, itâs official. I am no longer your student. How do you feel about that?â you smirk, relaxed in your assigned seat; your rightful throne as passenger princess.
âSpeaking of which, I hope you know that that degree is for decoration purposes from this day forward.â
You roll your eyes, âYouâre quite the comedian today, huh?â
âYou think Iâm kidding? I want you home 24/7, you hear me? In the kitchen, an apron and all. Iâm dead serious.â The sarcastic tone in his voice sends you chuckling through the nose.
âIâll stay home and be your housewife if you give me a perfect score, how about that?â
âDeal.â
âOk, no, but seriously, baby, please score my paper accurately.â
âOf course, beba. Just jokes. Iâm kidding about the staying-home thing, too. You can do whatever you want,â He looks over at you at a red light, âJust as long as you always come back home to me.â
âI wouldnât have it any other way.â
You two snuggle in Miguelâs bed after a nice dinner celebrating you. The sheets are warm and soft, but it doesnât compare to the warmth and softness of Miguelâs body on yours; skin to skin. Youâre both entangled and nude, having just had another (or a few) rounds of passionate love. Sleep looms over both you and Miguel, a little heavier on you. Youâre quickly learning that Miguel does not have the endurance of an average man.
Knowing how much you loved his speaking voice, he decided to finish and read aloud to you Pride and Prejudice, a book you recommended to him and has become a new favorite of his. A king of aftercare. How more perfect can he be?
Miguel, seeing your eyes grow heavy, kisses your temple and smiles before starting again, â âI love you. You have bewitched me, mind, body, and soul. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.ââ He recites the notorious line written by Austen, but not for the sake of reading aloud anymore, no. This line was directed to you. And only for you.
âAnd I love you.â You whisper back.
And for the first time in much more than just 5 years, Miguel didnât have to go to bed alone. And he wonât have to ever again.
Miguel hasnât thought about the canon theory in a very, very long time, but a fleeting thought went through his mind before drifting away:
If going through everything that he had to, may it be the day his genetic makeup was altered, the spider-verse, Gabriella, trading in the suit for a life of solitude, everything; Despite the pain, if it all had to happen in order to have met you.
Then itâll all have been worth it.

I think itâs safe to say Ranchers Win These
(In the silence between the last two panels, there is a 20 page comic in my head filled with flashbacks of every moment Scott teased, scolded, or dismissed Jimmyâand every moment where Tango was instead kind, patient, and proud)

decided to make all my comics (signals, oh...huh!, and maintenance) free/PWYW to read!!! at least from now until the end of july. of course, if you like them, consider sending a tip my way (or preordering a physical copy or two!), but i wanted to make them free so you can check them out before committing to paying for it. thank you endlessly for the kind words about my work, it really energizes me to keep making weird stuff and putting it out there <3333
#my art#signals#maintenance#i mean maintenance was already free. but regardless#please go read them!!! enjoy!!!!#and THANK YOU if you've already bought copies. really really means a lot#i was not expecting maintenance to do so well so. this is kind of a thank you from me for that <3

Here's my tiny tale from last year, of some kiddos finding a hurt baby dragon, and taking care of it until the dragons return next spring.
#art#comic#webcomics#dragons#fantasy creatures#microcomicsummer#ty hiveworks for a cool little event#but yeah as i mentioned yesterday:#i didn't make a new comic this year just because I had two other big comic projects#a third (even just 4 pages) would've been too much for me i think#been wanting some time to focus on illustrations#so just celebrating by posting my comic from last year--- which i actually haven't even posted here on tumblr yet#hope u enjoy ty for reading <3#micro comic summer#dragon#fantasy art#dragon comic

The sunlight poured through the sheer curtains as your eyes flutter open. As your eyes lost its blur, you spotted Chan beside you. It was a rare sightâhim awake before you.
Seeing your pretty eyes open, a small smile appears on his face. Without saying anything, he pulls you close to his chest and leaned down, burying his nose in your hair, inhaling deeply the scent of vanilla from the previous nights shower.
With his sealed plump lips, he drew you closer, his arms enveloping you in a comforting embrace. You nestled against his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath you.
''Hey.'' You said, your voice still raspy from sleep. Chan leans in, giving a soft small kiss on top of your hair.
''Slept well?'' He asks, his voice equally raspy. You nodded with a hum. Feeling his strong arms wrap around you, the peace you felt from being in his arms was immeasurable. Chan's embrace tightened just a tiny bit, as if he was trying to shield you from the world. With his other hand, he began to draw small circles on your back, his fingertips trailing softly over your skin, treating you as if you were a fragile glass. "I love you," you whisper softly, your words slightly muffled as you bury your face into the warmth of his toned chest. His skin feels smooth beneath your cheek, the subtle rise and fall of his breathing comforting against your own.
Your fingers begin to trace the defined lines of his muscles, traveling down the curve of his chest and over his sculpted abs. Each ridge of his abdomen is firm beneath your touch, a familiar yet thrilling sensation that makes you feel all giddy. Chan lets out a soft, amused chuckle. You feel his chest rumble underneath your body, a sound that mirrors the joy you both feel inside.
''I love you too,'' Chan says. ''I love you so much.''
