has anyone seen that old movie the crush? im thinking of something similar rn with patrick... (without all the going crazy and manipulation and the underage stuff)
your parents have a big house. a gorgeous country home, complete with a stable, for you horses, a back garden with a pool and a tennis court, and, of course, a guest house. a spacious little one-bedroom located literally within spitting distance from the main home.
and you - home for the summer, sophomore in college, headstrong, pretty, interesting, a sports medicine major - you were supposed to move in there. it's embarassing to be your age (a precocious twenty) and still living in your childhood bedroom, for godssake! but, at the last minute, your father tells you you can't. which is absurd: you've never been told 'no' in your life, why on earth should he start now?
well, after two weeks of complaining, whining, begging, bargaining, and straight-up threats, your answer arrives. arrives in the form of a single black suitcase and one heavy sports bag. arrives in the form of a tired, scraggly looking man parking his fucked-up car in your gorgeous gravel driveway, right next to your perfect, pristine white vintage mustang. it's insulting.
your guest house is occupied. by son of family friends, sort-of professional tennis player, patrick zweig. you hate him instantly. hate that because of him, you're confined to your stupid childhood bedroom, with your stupid baby-pink walls your mom won't let you change, your canopy bed with the gauzey curtains. you hate that your parents invite him in all the time. you hate that he drinks your coffee and eats your food. you hate that he found your contraband stash of cigarettes and weed, and you hate that you know he stole some, because you counted, and that you can't confront him about it in case he tells your parents.
and you hate how he's hot. hate that he plays tennis on your court, damp curls sticking to his face, sweat running down his tanned, toned arms, stupid shorts clinging to his thick, hairy thighs... you hate that he swims in your pool in nothing but his underwear. you hate that he has these bright blue eyes, almost green in certain lights, the pupils ringed with a hazelish, almost golden halo. and you despise how those eyes look at you, like he's going to fucking eat you.
not like he doesn't hate you, too. he hates how you parade around like you own the world. he hates how you are: too smart for your own good, too aware of it for everyone else's. he hates how you've obviously never been told no until the guest house. he hates that you're a know-it-all brat.
and he hates you (and himself, a little, but mostly you) for being so damn attractive. he hates that he'll come home, from a run, or a bad date, or something, and find you in a clean white tennis set - ralph lauren, or lacoste, or some other bougie brand mean less for atheltics and more for style - lazily serving to no one. he hates that you'll read by the pool, austen and shakespeare and poe, in your little bikinis, sucking on a lollipop, or, if your parents aren't home, smoking a cigarette. he hates when you get dressed up because your parents are throwing yet another party, hates you in your babydoll dresses and your sweet skirts and your sweetheart necklines.
like you don't know what you're doing to him.
the funny thing is, both of you are smart enough to see that the other is physically attracted to you, but you're both too proud to admit it goes both ways. so you strut around in tiny tennis skirts and bikinis. he swims in his underwear and comes in in nothing but a towel to steal from your fridge. waiting for the other to break, to snap, to trip up and fall. if patrick breaks first, you get to laugh and call him a dirty old perv for going after you - he's like, a decade older than you, for christssake! - and if you break first, patrick gets to bully you open on his cock, make you cry, finally bring you down a peg.
just a matter of time.

This is such a random question, but how would you describe Frank and Eddie's house? Is it a big one, decent sized? I wonder how they decorate the little kiddos room once they get him!
Okay okay but actually I think about this ALL the time
Because I never pictured Frank with a house. I always pictured this little apartment because they live in the city n stuff. Like the whole exposed brick walls kinda vibe but it’s incredibly small and I wanna draw it once I have a moment. But that’s where Frank lives. It’s all the space he needs for one person and whatever shitty landlord he has doesn’t really come for inspections so it’s pretty easy to hide all the murder junk when he needs to
Eddie on the other hand also has an apartment but I feel like it’s a little larger. Which like doesn’t necessarily match their jobs early on but hear me out
Frank is the type to make pretty good money and not buy really big and expensive things. Like his clothing is his nicest stuff aside from purchasing things for murders. Eddie on the other hand doesn’t selfishly spend or anything but he puts in a lot of money towards his living space to make it really comfy
#like Frank probably has some house plants and some potted plants out by his window#and he does have his many frames with bugs n things#like it’s homey but at first glance it’s like a bare bones apartment#eddie puts in more effort to make things comfy and make his living space his own special space#and I just know he was happy to drag some of franks things over there because that meant it got to be franks home too#crime puppets au#thing is though neither of them technically had the room for a child I don’t think#like I believe Eddie had a small guest room he used for storage if I recall some of my daydreams currently 😂#so I think Jamie went in there and Eddie watched him a little more often#oh yeah I picked Jamie btw that’s the kids name

sorry but another big "he would not fucking say that" thing for me in ship stuff involving sonic or future aus or whatever is when people have sonic actually live with his partner full time . in canon he literally chooses to not have a house and just sleeps wherever he wants and will sometimes hang out at tails' place for a bit when he feels like it. you think he would ''settle down'' and live with someone permanently ??!??!?!!? be serious he would at most just show up at their house occasionally and maybe stay a day or two and then leave again
#especially when its meant to be set in the present day and not a future au thing#and they have sonic and tails having their own houses but SEPARATE from eachother and sonic is living with someone else#like nooo the closest thing sonic has to his own place is a guest bedroom in one of tails' labs that he crashes in sometimes#he would NOT !!! be living with whoever youre shipping him with#honestly i cant even see sonic dating anyone not even in the future#at least not in a super serious and committed traditional relationship sort of way

aww fairy au sounds cute! would they be, tiny boi fairys, or human sized fairys?
Human size! The idea is that you accidentally enter through a fairy circle into the land of fairies. You end up eaten some wild mushrooms that don't look poisonous, but whoops, you've just eaten fae food and now you're trapped in this realm. Thankfully a helpful but strange fae being with butterfly wings finds you before you can encounter any deadly sorcery or ill-wishing fae and offers his and his brothers' home for you to crash at until you figure out how to break your curse and return home! Although, maybe you'll find you don't really want to go back home after spending so much time with these handsome fae brothers, but it's still a dangerous place for a non magical being such as yourself.
#i need a proper name for this au gah!#fae au#i also imagine a moment where sun moon and eclipse are having a family discussion about their guest#and of course y/n is eavesdropping#and misunderstands their concern about housing a human and the trouble that can bring#so y/n is just like aight *peace sign* and takes off in the middle of the night like ill just survive on own i dont need some dumb fae help#but uhhh its dangerous at night so moon comes to fetch you lol

More notes about the pub au because I am not well
Dick often shows up at the pub, although no one ever sees him enter or leave the place
There’s a feral cat that has been made an honorary staff member at the pub
Hes’s a really friendly black cat with a white tuxedo pattern, and what looks like a little moustache
The cat has been named Alfred II
Every time Bruce comes to the pub (most likely to try pressure Jay into coming back home) Dick shows up a few minutes later and distracts him for the night
Jason ran away from home with Dick’s help
All the bat kids have a very strained relationship with Bruce, and Dick + Cass act as the buffer to protect their siblings
Roy has punched Bruce before. He will do it again.
Oli sometimes shows up to check up on Roy
On those days, the drinks are payed for by Oliver
Oli and Dinah also helped pay for the pub, and helped Dick get Jay out of gotham
Only Steph, Duke, Dick and Cass still live with Bruce
Cass and Dick have a rotating schedule for who watches Bruce, although sibling and gala duty always falls to Dick
Tim and Damian don’t exactly have a bad relationship with Bruce, and they live with the Clark’s
Jay and Roy don’t talk to eachother much, but you ask anyone and they’ll tell you the two are such lovebirds, it makes the general populace sick
The pub is in a small northern town, where there’s a lot of snow every month but summer
Summer there can also be described of as “hell’s ventilation unit”
The assistant manager is Australian, and he is the only person allowed to touch the jukebox
He is also the supervision
(This totally isn’t because I only know what Australian pub music is like nooo what do you meaaaan)
Feed my children
#e#e’s growing insanity#pub au#jayroy#Jason Todd#roy harper#fic#fic writing#I’m just hoping to god that when I post this no one goes and looks at the rest of my acc#it’s a mess#I’m writing a dsmp / hermitcraft fic on a dare#and I’ve accidentally gotten myself attached to the worldbuilding :[#I mean thank god it only has 7 hits last I checked#although two guests gave it kudos#which is… mildly concerning#Bruce’s totally great parenting#nah he’s borderline abusive#and dick + cass are acting like in house cps#dick grayson#he will be a somewhat major character#as he shows up a lot

Jukebogs (Julie/Luke/Reggie/Bobby), Ghost Hunters AU
"Like every episode of Ghost Bros," Luke was giving his usual spiel to the camera. "Reggie and I will be doing our investigation in the house, trying to capture evidence. Then, our resident psychic Julie will tell us if this place is actually haunted, or if our camera man Bobby used his weed dealer's connections to find another random creepy abandoned house with no ghosts."
"Stop antagonizing him!" Reggie said nervously. "Last time you antagonized him, he nearly made me pee myself during the solo investigation."
Bobby turned the camera around to film his own unimpressed face. "Luke was supposed to find that ventriloquist dummy with the knife covered in ketchup, not you," he deadpanned, before swinging the camera back around to Luke and Reggie.
Julie sighed. She knew the boy's shenanigans was part of the draw of the show, but she was the one who usually had to deal with Reggie clinging to her all night, before ghosts generally listened when she told them to buzz off. Not that they usually slept in haunted locations, except for the season finale.
"Sooo," the cute boy in the crop top who hadn't been there two seconds ago started. "Can I mess with them? Please tell me I can mess with them."
"We are not messing with them!" Another boy in a pink hoodie said. "If we mess with them, we're going to have every ghost hunter with a shitty Youtube Channel clamouring through our house, messing with our stuff. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get that dent in the couch right for my ghost butt?"
"Don't worry," Julie whispered, as to not alert the (alive) boys. "We never give up our haunted locations unless the ghosts ask us to."
"Holy shit she is psychic!" Crop Top whispered gleefully.
"Tell them to stay off my couch!" Hoodie said urgently.
"I will," Julie promised. She could let Bobby know, and he'd keep them off. "But only if you promise to go easy on Reggie."
"What about the camera man?" Crop Top asked.
Julie blinked. None of the spirits had ever really interacted with Bobby before. The ones who knew what a camera was respected his position, and the ones who didn't were usually distracted by the two idiots loudly asking questions and waving around various gadgets and asking them to touch flashlights.
"You should totally mess with the camera man," she decided. Bobby was not so much a skeptic - none of the boys were, they believed in what Julie could do- but he was pretty un-phased by pretty much everything. "That would make a great season finale."
(Send me an AU and a Pairing and I'll write you a thing.)
#julie and the phantoms#bobbyxjuliexlukexreggie#fanfic#I wrote a thing#AUs are awesome#ghost hunter au#carlos is their special guest star#he goes in first and declares somewhere haunted or not#he's almost always wrong#he does not actually get the ghost tinglies like his sister#he also explains all the new gadgets they use each season#bobby's weed dealer is also in real estate he knows a lot of empty houses and properties okay#you know how in Worth It Adam the Camera Man became a favourite? that's bobby#he was just here to film but then the editors stopped editing out his dry commentary#if the house is haunted Julie will tell people a little about the history and what the ghosts told her#if they want to talk because not all ghosts do#they did the hollywood ghost club and Caleb would not SHUT UP

If everyone in the menagerie AU is in separate enclosures, how do they Talk? Dp they have one of those string-and-cup phones?
it's kinda like those old-timey carnival zoos? When they're in their cages, they're relatively close together, positioned along a path in the manor gardens. While all five can't necessarily have a conversation, they can at least speak to their neighbors
#im still not entirely settled on the logistics lol#but I'm thinking most of the time they're able to roam the gardens and part of the house (with trackers/shock collars on)#and get locked up for guests and bedtime#the first time someone tries to run sahota runs them down and forces them into a very small 'punishment cage :)'#it would probably be hunter let's be real#t$$ menagerie au#they'd have some kind of magical binding to keep them from shenanigans#anon

Umm hi. Is it normal that I've found inspiration from analog horror ARGs and Emesis blue as a way to create some plot points and headcanons for my AU?
#yes. emesis blue as in that tf2 movie...#in my defense#i have explored a couple of really cool args this month and the last one#and some of their plots and concepts sound very akin to what would be found in kirby..#i personally liked monument mythos/the children under the house/gemini home entertainment/mandela catalogue and winter of 83'#if you want to give those args a watch then be my guest!#and about emesis blue.... uhhhh what can i say? its scary and horrific and a fun watch! there just happens to be a lot of death...#this is not explicitly a horror au per say... is more lighthearted and slice of life~y...#its dark fantasy... I think that's the name of the genre. it really its more dark fantasy then anything#but of course I'm edgy.... the light remains light but when it comes to horror or dark content *its serious shit*#out of kirby

Headcanons that can and will make up how I write the Marvelous Bats AU I’m trying to actually write
Everyone has a minor upgrade or addition on the powers they have. Eugene has his technokinesis, Pedro is physically stronger than Billy even though they have the same blessing, Darla is faster, Freddy has some minor telekinesis and is better at flying in practice, and Mary’s courage is infectious to the degree of getting people out of being scared frozen in an emergency and getting them to rescue themselves and have the bravery to help others along the way.
Billy and Mary are still twins, she’s adopted by the Bromfields and Billy is newly fostered by the Vasquez’s but they all work and spend time together as a family unit despite the separate home lives
Billy knows how to make portals anywhere with doors, the place just needs to have a door. (He has tried getting the Batcave that way but apparently the car doors of the Batmobile don’t count)
Yes all the Bats know the Marvels identity’s and vice versa, the rest of the League? Nope. Just think Batman mellowed out in his crusade to learn Caps identity
Yes Bruce wanted to adopt Billy, Billy said screw that and Jason pointed out how bad of an idea it would be to have a kid named Batson in the public eye of Gotham. “The Joker can and will try to make a bad joke out of the kid Bruce.” “Yeah Batman, you want me to die in a robin costume of all things?” Bruce just stayed silent for a moment and almost started crying (it’s was only a week later Jason took a good look at the kid and realized Billy is a mini him and Bruce probably didn’t like the Robin comment)
Damian, Darla, and Jon are the true kid hero trinity. Their mission? Chaos
Freddy just about passed out when he met Barbra, the super amazing Batgirl is the super cool lady behind the monitor that’s one of freaking Batman’s most essential teammates? Oh the feeling of finally seeing a super like himself
Tim met Billy and Mary’s parents through his own when he was little, the 3 of them had a very long discussion about cool archeology stuff for a good few hours
Because his hero form is his “full potential” and is very big Pedro asked Jason to help him get from how he is now to his hero form, seeing as his body type was closest. Now they work out together every Tuesday and Friday (school and vigilante work permitting) half of it is actually working out and the other is building Pedros confidence
Batman and Captain Marvel make a point to block and argue heavily against any other Marvel joining the League, Billy is the only one until the rest of the family does meet the age requirement they have. Billy does the heavy lifting expected of the actual Champion of Magic and his siblings enjoy the small town hero life and look out for Fawcett and the Rock when he’s off world, Mary is the defacto leader when he’s gone.
Like how every Bat has their designated Super and sometimes Wonder, they all have a Marvel they hang out with more than others. Mary and Dick hang out and bond over being the unfortunate voice of reason siblings, Darla is the childish influence making Damian act more his age and love doing it. Billy and Bruce are the respective “heads of the family” and Bruce checks in a lot on how Billy’s life is going with the occasional leadership tip thrown in to help with hero work. Jason tutors Pedro when they’re both visiting, if they cross paths on the job they’ll talk sports a lot. Freddy and Eugene talk a lot about strategy’s, games, gadgets, and superpowers with Barbra and Tim.
Tawny and Alfred are golfing buddies, they also build miniatures of flag ships together and talk about their weird family of supers over tea
Eugene has hacked the Bat-computer on multiple occasions, each time to make an edit to any files Bruce makes of the family, mostly something childish like adding “the amazing” or “the super awesome” before their hero names in the files. But one hack he did was into his contingency plans files, which nearly gave Bruce a heart attack thinking there was going to be another accident that would almost kill his friends.
The hack was the change of “Further research needed to figure out a strategy for neutralization, for now the best strategy is to trick or force them into using their trigger phrase to de-transform before incapacitating them” to “let their siblings deal with the situation”
The Justice League’s first introduction to Captain Marvel was during a “Superman is being affected by Red Kryptonite” situation. By the time they caught up to him in Fawcett their resident hero was helping the man up and panicking over how much he hurt him trying to wrestle the Kryptonite off him, they offered him a seat with them by the end of the week after satellite imaging showed that he led Superman into the air after he knocked down a building and delt with him without further damage and Superman’s account that he broke his arm and bruised multiple ribs trying to stop him. Billy was 9 at the time and only had his powers a few months at that time so he had no idea how much he needed to reel his strength in and was panicking too much to properly do so either way in that fight.
Damian was jealous that Billy got into the league so young and Bruce still won’t let him on despite his capabilities but realizes Billy only got so far because of a lie of omission and one event where he severely harmed Superman, he’d call his father an idiot if he hadn’t tried to keep an eye on such a worrying individual
The Vasquez’s know their kids visit the Wayne’s every other day, as do the Bromfields, but only Vic and Rosa know about the superhero part of it all. The Bromfields just think Mary is visiting a girl friend and having sleepovers every so often, they aren’t entirely wrong since she does hang out with Cass and Stephenie but they don’t need to know her whole superhero life. It’s framed as a mentorship so that their kids can do their best with the powers given to them with a healthy amount of encouragement in still being kids and attending school, it’s mostly just the two families spending time with eachother though.
Black Adam used to antagonize the Marvel Family but after a fight with Billy 1v1 he saw he was a child and stopped trying to actively kill him, he’s now their weird uncle figure who pops by to show them some fighting moves and try to tell Billy to stop being the champion until he’s older.
Black Adam is closer to the movie version solely for the purposes of expanding the family size, he looks like his classic comic self but has to shift in morals and backstory he had in the movie
The fight happened in a empty patch of dessert outside Khandaq when Billy was 11, no one on the League knows why they suddenly stopped fighting or why Cap officiated the guys wedding but their happy he figured something out so his city didn’t get torn up every month by their fights anymore.
The hero names and nicknames for the Marvel family are as follows
Billy Batson —> Captain Marvel (Cap, the Captain)
Mary Bromfield —> Mary Marvel (Mary)
Freddy Freeman —> Lieutenant Marvel (Lieu, Captain Marvel Jr. (by one annoying reporter))
Pedro Peña —> General Marvel (The jolly green giant, Greenie)
Eugene Choi —> Chief Marvel (Chief, Master Chief (self proclaimed, never used))
Darla Dudley —> Ms./Princess Marvel (Ms., Missy Marvel, Missy (Used for professional purposes) Princess (Used every other time as her choice of code name))
Adriana Tomaz —> Isis (/got the amulet of Isis as a wedding gift from Darla from the Rock, she didn’t know what it was but is happy she got cool powers with the rest of the family/)
Amon Tomaz —> Horus (/name changed from comics to coincide with the change in family dynamic between him and Adriana from siblings to parent/child/)
Theo —> Black Adam/Khem Adam
Shout out to @thefantasmarex for reminding me how much I love these two families together
#Amon is basically their honorary cousin#him and Freddie talk a bunch about heroes and have fierce debates on if Superman could beat Adam#Freddie wins most those arguments once Billy steps in the room and reminds them he broke the guys arm at 9#battle for the batson!: Black Adam vs Batman!#winners: the vasques family#Damian has definitely taught Darla how to judo throw someone#it’s not like visiting would be much a stretch anyhow#Fawcett is basically Philly and Gotham is in jersey#just cross one state line and hello besties#or one magic doorway and they pop out of a random door they set up in the cave for that exact purpose#Jason and Billy spitting facts about the target the joker would put up on Billy’s head for the sake of a pun#the sudden influx of kids at Wayne manor on a normal basis and hanging out with his kids is explained away to the media as#Bruce: oh my son Damian made friends out of state who come over every so often#Vikki Vale: so why is this teenager being seen spending time with your other son Jason#Bruce: big brother program#VV: and this 8 year old with Tim drake?#bruce: he’s tutoring him on coding stuff or whatever the kids these days call it#VV: and this boy next to you that’s a dead ringer for the sons you fostered at his age?#Billy: I just tag along for the in house movie theater and his butlers cooking#Bruce: he does#media thinks that Damian is crushing on Darla after she goes to some event with them and there’s photos of them laughing together#but that’s just cause he’s never laughed in public before#much less brought a guest#darlas just happy people are complimenting her mlp purse on tv#Damian is happy hes winning at seeming like a normal kid with the crushing allegations#Cass and Mary practice ballet together#Marvelous Bats AU#shazam#batman#captain marvel dc

For the Proposal AU
For more family bonding Ajak sends them to play Beach Volleyball! But Thena isn’t quite used to her fiancé in all his glory 😏
"Yeah!"
"Come on, that's a foul!"
"It was on the line!"
Thena was more than happy to sit on the sidelines as the siblings - plus cousin Kingo - went about their game. Running around in the blazing sun simply wasn't for her, or her delicate complexion.
"Okay, okay, but next one you're not talking you way out of!" Gil laughed at his sisters across the net from him, who stuck their tongues out at him, like the adult women they were. He stretched up to serve the ball.
Thena looked down at the magazine of Ajak's she had been given to occupy herself while they were doing whatever. Ajak was getting some work done at the house that she absolutely could not get done with her many - loud - children there.
"Gil!"
Kingo bounced the ball off his fingers and Gil rose to hit it, not taking it easy on his much smaller sisters in the slightest.
Thena peeked over the rim of her sunglasses at them. She had never been to the beach with Gil before. Then again, why would she? But she had no idea he would enjoy being out in the sun so much. He seemed perfectly content to hang out with her in her nice, quiet, apartment on the weekends. Avoiding people, just like her...
Maybe she was just restricting him. Should she offer to go out with him more often?
Not that it mattered. Even divorced, Gil could go wherever he wanted with whomever he wanted. He didn't have to do what she wanted to do all the time...
Makkari leapt a frightening distance in the air to return the ball, bouncing it off her brother's head and out of bounds. She landed and waved her fists in the air in victory.
Sersi shook Makkari by the shoulders. "Yes!"
"Hey, no face shots!" Kingo protested (as if it had been his head used for target practice).
Thena caught herself before she could shout if he was okay. This was a family thing. She only came along to give poor Ajak some much needed space. She buried her face in the magazine again. It was about cooking, or interior design, or maybe gardening?--something she was no good at.
"You're up, big guy!"
Again, Kingo entrusted Gil with the ball to take the shot. Kingo was plenty tall and well muscled himself, it wasn't like he was unlikely to make the shot if he tried.
But Gil jumped up, hitting the ball as hard as he could to the far corner of the girls' side of the 'court'. He landed in the sand, leaning on his knees. His arms flexed.
Thena pressed her lips together. It wasn't like she was unaware Gil was muscular. Strong, at least, but she only saw him in work clothes! Button-ups and cardigans, sometimes a vest, maybe even a suit when they had a meeting for something. Sometimes he might wear a henley shirt on casual friday...those always looked good on him...
"Don't wanna join in?"
Thena startled, finding Kingo leaning over her shoulder and into her line of view. She cleared her throat, slapping the magazine closed (not that she was paying any attention to it). "Do I seem like an athlete to you?"
"You could try for fun," he suggested in a surprisingly gentle tone. Everything about Kingo screamed life-of-the-party, but he appeared to have a softer side to him. It shouldn't have surprised her, given the rest of his family. "I'm sure Gil would be on a team with you."
She let out a laugh for the sake of it, pretending she wasn't both trying and trying not to watch him. She took her sunglasses off and fanned her hair out over her shoulders. "I'm certain I couldn't keep up with him. Besides, this is a family tradition, isn't it?"
"Well," Kingo shrugged, sitting himself beside her properly. "You're going to be part of the family...aren't you?"
Thena looked at Kingo, who was looking at Gil chase his sisters around with a handful of sand. Sometimes she got the feeling that Kingo could see right through everything around him. But then he would be back to pretending nothing happened. She frowned, "right."
"In any case," he began again, rubbing his palms together and letting the stray sand fall onto his feet. "It's not illegal to check out your own fiance."
Thena nearly swallowed her tongue in a rush to correct him. But he looked at her expectantly. Was she going to protest that she wasn't looking? Because he was right, Gil was her 'fiance', and she should be used to 'checking him out', in his words. She flushed (with guilt, of course), "right."
"I'm sure he'd be happy to know," he winked at her.
What a menace--the whole family. Thena pulled her knees up to her chest, "no, thank you."
"Aw, come on," Kingo felt free to nudge her in good humour as she stewed in an unexpected sense of embarrassment. "He checks you out all the time."
He did not. Did he? "He does not."
"Well," Kingo definitely knew, "he is your fiance."
Thena sighed, "right."
"Look all you want--all I'm sayin'," Kingo waved his hands in the air in dismissal of it. "I've given him every opportunity to show off just for you."
Even chattier than Ajak, this one. "How kind."
Kingo took the liberty of claiming the sunscreen sitting at the top of her bag, "mind if I-?"
She glared at him.
"No?" he chuckled, already squeezing some onto his palms. "What about you? You seem like you need plenty of this stuff."
She pursed her lips at him, "even kinder."
Kingo held out his sunscreen covered palms, "here, just take some of this."
Thena just looked at him, making a face at the sunscreen practically dripping from his hands.
"Kingo, get over here!!"
Thena startled as the shout rippling all the way over to them. She had to actually turn her head and look to check if it was really Gil who had shouted it. She had never heard him so angry.
Kingo just laughed, despite even Sersi and Makkari looking at Gil like he had uttered a death threat. He rubbed his overly greasy palms together as he stood, "I'm right here, man, chill out."
Gil glared at him though, tossing the ball - a little hard - into the centre of his chest. "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see you offering to apply sunscreen for my fiance."
Thena blinked, "oh, he didn't-"
"Come on, Gil, you know I'm not the type," Kingo laughed again, although even the way he said it sounded like a tease, despite being uninterested in any and all candidates.
"I know you're not the type," Gil jabbed him in the shoulder. "But you and your abs can talk to her from over there."
"Fine, fine," Kingo continued to find great humour in the situation. He leaned back as he walked away, "but I think she's more of an 'arms' gal anyway!"
Thena looked down at her lap, more guilt flushing her cheeks pink.
"Hey," Gil crouched down beside her, tilting his head to peek under the sun hat Ajak had lent her. "You okay? I know Kingo can be...a lot."
Thena shook her head, hoping the wide brim of the hat would hide her trying - desperately - not to notice just how close he was. She could see the movement of his chest as he breathed. "He's fine, Gil."
Gil glanced back at his cousin again before leaning closer. "Kingo can come off as kind of a flirt, but he's harmless. He's really not into any of it at all, actually."
Thena nodded. She could see the definition of the muscles in his thighs.
"Do you actually need more sunscreen?" Gil asked, sounding more and more concerned for her silence. "You could have just asked me."
Thena finally looked up at him before things could go too far. "Really, Gil, it's fine."
"You sure?" he gave her a concerned look, tilting his head. "You look a little overheated."
"Maybe you're right," she muttered. Anything to end this conversation. "Maybe I should-"
"Here," Gil sat down properly, taking the magazine from her and holding it by the spine so he could fan her. "You're not really a beach person. I should have told Mom this wasn't your scene."
She smiled, in spite of the whole humiliating affair. He was so sweet. "Really, Gil, it's okay. It's nice out here, and your mother deserves some time without all of us in her hair."
"I keep telling her she doesn't have to go through this much." And that was true of both the family reunion and the 'wedding' it was turning into. Well, not a 'wedding', it really was a wedding, that was going to happen one way or another.
Thena sighed, enjoying the pleasant breeze while she could. She looked at Gil, "what about you?"
"Hm?"
"I know you put some on earlier," she turned more towards him, "but you've been playing for a while now. Do you need more?"
He stopped fanning her, and instantly she recoiled.
"Not that-"
"Yeah."
Thena blinked at him, but he had that smile on again. Maybe she was overheated. "Hm?"
"If you're offering," he shrugged, already turning his back towards her, "then yeah. It's better than asking Kingo to do it, at least."
Thena bit into her lip gently. That was a lot of back staring her in the face. "Okay...then."
Gil sat perfectly still as she put some sunscreen on her hands and began the process of applying it to his back and shoulders. He wasn't nearly as flustered by it (damn him).
This was her fiance, she tried to tell herself. There was no reason to be freaked out about the sensation of his muscles rippling under her touch as she ran her hands over him.
She really did have sunscreen on already. It was why she had no excuse for the redness in her face.
#Thenamesh Proposal AU#Kingo is an aroace king#who loves drama#such a shit stirrer#he's here to rile up his cousin and get to know his new 'in law'#Ajak is like one damn day#I need one fucking day in my house without my children throwing food at each other#she's over her like you're all over 30#Sersi and Gil and Makkari all pulling each other's hair: what?#Kingo acts so above it but he is always starting food fights#at least until a guest comes along and tells him that if he wastes Gil's delicious and lovingly made food#she will shave his head while he sleeps#Kingo is on his best behaviour at the table

Trying to decide on Future AU designs for the patrol team………..
#mvf talks#cowboys future au#I know all five and the bb trio would be in contact and close family at that point#plenty of guest rooms at the cowboy mansion/house for everyone to sleep over#Max calls them all his aunts and uncles…………..#but uhhhhhhhhhhh I want Rupert to have a motorcycle#and he can take Dino out on long rides#Dina and Todd kind of set up permanent residence at the fossil park#I think Pauleen would also travel a lot and enjoys seeing the world#all eight of them keep spare keys to the cowboy house too-
