Special thanks to my partner for helping me with the editing, and some of the writing on this one.

I thought yall would want to know as soon as this came out @lily-alphonse @sdvbraindump

Haley was lying on her stomach, feet bouncing against the mattress of Alex’s bed. Her attention was laser-focused on her social media analytics, reviewing how people had been interacting with her latest post. She already knew what they would look like—likes, comments, and shares flooding in—but it was always reassuring to see the data for herself.

Alex’s groans punctuated the otherwise quiet room every now and again as his head dipped down, muscles straining, while he held his plank. His face was flushed, sweat trickling down his forehead, and his breaths came out in labored puffs. “How much longer?” he managed to grunt out, eyes squinting against the sweat dripping into them.

Haley’s eyes moved from her social media to the timer going in the background. “Uh, like three minutes,” she said, trying to hold her face flat and suppress a smirk as she looked down at Alex struggling on the ground.

“What!” Alex’s head snapped up, his eyes widening in disbelief. “I'm dumb, but not that dumb. How long?” He chuckled, shaking his head, the motion causing sweat to flick off. Haley couldn't help but laugh as she showed him her screen.

“You aren't dumb, Lex,” she said, her tone softening, ���you have thirty seconds.�� She crossed her arms and laid her head on them, her attention now fully on Alex, deciding she could nerd out with her data another time.

“And you aren't a brat,” Alex huffed, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his mouth as he finally let himself collapse to the floor just as the timer started going off. He lay there, chest heaving, the cool hardwood against his burning body a welcome relief. He closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the feeling.

“At least I'm telling the truth.” Haley playfully scoffed, rolling her eyes, and moved to sit up, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She watched as Alex tried to catch his breath, his usual cocky demeanor momentarily replaced by genuine exhaustion.

“Oh so now you can admit to being a brat.” Alex chuckled as he pushed himself up, grabbing his water bottle. He took a long gulp, the cold water soothing his parched throat. “Couldn't do that last night…” Smirking, Alex dodged the pillow that Haley had launched at his head. “I’m just sayin!” He defended himself as he moved out of another pillow attack, his laughter filling the room.

“Go back to working out, dork.” Haley laughed, her cheeks red from a mix of embarrassment and amusement. She tossed the second to last pillow at him, missing on purpose this time, and Alex grinned, shaking his head.

“I'm almost done, just gotta do pull-ups,” Alex said as he stood to his feet, grabbing his pull-up bar, locking it onto his closet doorway, and checking it was good to go. He flexed his fingers, taking a moment to stretch his arms before jumping up and gripping the bar, his muscles rippling under the strain.

The sound of Alex counting his pull-ups filled the room, and Haley settled back down, her gaze more focused on Alex than on her phone now. Her eyes followed him as he pulled up, and let himself slowly lower, just to pull right back up. Her eyes locked on the way his muscles tensed and flexed, looking from his arms to his chest, his ribs, his tummy, all the way down to the stretch of hair from his belly button into his gym shorts.

“Sunflower.” Haley shook her head slightly hearing Alex’s voice calling her like a siren. “Yeah?” She asked looking at Alex as he hung from his bar. “You're burning a hole baby.” Alex teased as he pulled up again, his eyes locked on hers. “I kinda like these shorts.”

Haley's cheeks flushed, but she couldn't help the smirk that tugged at her lips. "I just can't resist a good view," she quipped, winking at him. She sat up fully, tucking her legs beneath her, her hands resting in her lap, and continued to watch him her eyes lowering. She could see his eyes now lingering on her body, she knew that he loved it when she sat like that, she could see his body twitch slightly.

Alex’s focus wavered for a second, and he almost missed his rhythm, his grip tightening on the bar.“You’re a distraction, you know that?” he said, his voice a bit breathless but filled with amusement.

“Maybe I should be more helpful then.” Haley purred as she got up from the bed, walking over to Alex, and tracing his ribs with her fingertips. “What you say, Lex?” Her eyes locked onto his, the pull-up bar helping to even out their heights.

“If I ever say no, kill me,” Alex said playfully yet somewhat seriously as he planted his feet on the ground.

“Wait.” Haley stopped him, her nails pressing into his skin slightly. “You… You aren't done with your workout, baby.” Haley said slowly as she traced patterns on his skin, smiling and feeling him tense under her touch. “Don't stop just for me.” She said coyly as she let her hands trace down to the waistband of his shorts, her eyes trailed behind her hands, as she felt Alex shiver under her fingers.

Letting out a shaky laugh Alex pulled his feet back up, so he was hanging again. “If you don't want me to stop I won't stop you.”

Haley blushed as Alex pulled himself back up the bar, his now-tented gym shorts right in her face. Giggling softly she slid her fingers into his shorts and briefs, purring slightly feeling his length pulsing in her hand.

Alex let out a low groan, his grip on the bar tightening as Haley's hand wrapped around him. He looked down at her, his eyes now half-lidded with need. He pulled himself up again, his abs contracting with the effort, his body tensing as Haley began to stroke him. "Fuck, that feels good," he hissed, his teeth clenched. "Just like that." He started to move with her rhythm, pulling himself up and letting himself down in sync with her hand.

His breath came in ragged pants as he tried to keep his focus on his pull-ups, but it was becoming increasingly difficult with Haley's hand stroking him slowly, her grip firm and steady. “You're so strong, Alex.” Biting his lip his eyes fell shut for a moment, hearing her compliment His strength while she was stroking his cock, feeling her soft, gentle skin against his hot length.

"Fuck, Sunflower," he groaned, his voice strained as he struggled to maintain his form. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, his breaths coming out in ragged puffs. He glanced down at Haley, her eyes locked onto his cock, her tongue darting out to lick her lips. The sight of her sent a jolt of electricity straight to his groin, and he felt himself growing harder in her hand.

"You're killing me here, baby," he gasped, his muscles burning as he fought to keep himself upright. Haley just smiled up at him, her hand moving faster now, her grip tightening. He could feel the pleasure building inside him, his orgasm approaching rapidly. He knew he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer, not with Haley touching him like that.

His body tensed, his abs clenching as he neared the edge. He gritted his teeth, trying to hold back, wanting to prolong the sensation. "Sunflower, I'm close," he grunted, his voice barely above a whisper. "You need to stop… or… or I'm gonna…" He trailed off, his words lost in a moan as Haley's thumb brushed back over the head of his cock, spreading the pre-cum that had gathered there.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," he chanted, his body shaking as he tried to fight off his orgasm. "You're too good at this, baby" he panted, his eyes locked onto hers, pleading with her to stop or to keep going, he wasn't sure which. "Your gonna make me cum Haley" he admitted, defeat clear in his voice. He let out a low growl, his voice laced with warning, as she continued. "Sunflower, I'm serious, I'm about to-"

Before he could finish, Haley leaned in, her warm breath ghosting over the tip of his cock. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with mischief and craving. "Let go, Alex," she whispered, her voice sultry and inviting. "I want to taste you, baby."

The sight of her, the feel of her hand, and her words sent him over the edge. With a final, shuddering pull-up, Alex let out a loud grunt, his body convulsing as he came undone. He collapsed down, his feet hitting the ground as he leaned against the doorframe, panting and spent.

Haley didn't miss a beat, her tongue darting out to catch the first drop of him. She hummed in satisfaction, her eyes never leaving his as she took him into her mouth, swallowing every last bit of him. "Fuck, Sunflower," he panted, his body still trembling from the aftershocks, his hand gently resting on her head. Watching her pull away, opening her mouth just to show him it was empty, he groaned softly, his hands finding her hips.

"Fuck I need you," he panted, his eyes locked onto her lips as he leaned down to capture them in a searing kiss. He could taste himself on her tongue, and feel the heat of her breath as she moaned against him, her hands finding their way around his neck.

He groaned against her lips, his voice barely above a whisper. "Come here Sunflower." He murmured as he picked her up gently manhandling her to his bedroom floor

Smirking as he felt Haley giggling into their kiss, his arms and hands caging her head, pulling away to look at her. "You're so fucking beautiful, Haley" he whispered, his voice filled with admiration.

Alex's eyes scanned Haley's body, taking in every curve and dip. He could feel his desire for her growing again, his cock springing to life once more. He wanted to explore every inch of her, to make her scream his name until she was hoarse.

"Sunflower" he whispered, his voice low and husky as he leaned down to trail kisses along her jawline, his hands roaming her body. He could feel her arching into his touch, her breath hitching as he found her sensitive spots.

"Alex," she moaned, her voice barely above a whisper as he captured her mouth in another passionate kiss. He could feel her hands tangling in his hair, her legs wrapping around his waist as she pulled him closer.

Tangling his fingers in her hair, he paused, pulling back, looking at Haley with a frown. “Wait hold on…” Alex grumbled as he looked around his room.

“What's wrong, Alex?” Haley asked confused as to why Alex was lifting her head off the wooden floor.

“Keep your head up baby,” Alex said as he leaned forward, above Haley's head, reaching for one of the pillows she had used as a projectile, pulling it close, and positioning it under her head. “There we go,” Alex said, fixing her hair so it haloed around her, smiling down at her. “That's more like it, right babe.”

Haley's cheeks flushed at Alex's words, her heart fluttering in her chest. She reached up, cupping his cheek, her thumb brushing against his skin. “Alex…” Haley cooed softly while pulling him back into a deep kiss, her hands found their home wrapped around his neck.

Alex groaned into the kiss, his body responding to Haley's touch. He could feel her nails digging into his skin, sending shivers down his spine. He broke away from her, his breath ragged as he looked into her eyes, filled with hunger.

"I’m gonna make you feel so good," he murmured, his voice husky as he reached down between them, pulling her skirt up, his fingers finding her center. He could feel her wetness coating his fingers through the fabric of her panties as he began to rub slow circles, her hips moving in rhythm with his hand.

"Alex, yes," she moaned, her head tilting back, exposing her neck to him. He leaned down, his lips trailing kisses along her collarbone, his tongue tasting her skin. He could feel her body tensing, his fingers moving faster, applying more pressure.

Alex's lips curled into a smug smile as he watched Haley squirm beneath him, her body writhing with pleasure. "That's it, baby," he whispered, his voice low and encouraging, as he pushed the fabric to the side, out of his way.

His fingers continued their relentless assault, his thumb circling her clit as he plunged two fingers inside her, curling them upwards to hit that spot that made her gasp, chuckling at how wet she was.

"Alex!" she cried out, her nails digging into his shoulders as she clung to him, her hips rolling into his touch, her moans mixing with the soft wet sounds of Alex’s fingers pistoning inside her.

“That’s it, Haley. Let it out, baby," Alex encouraged, his voice low and sultry as he continued to work his fingers in and out of her, his thumb only pressing harder on her clit. He could feel her body tensing, her breath coming in short gasps as she got closer and closer to the edge.

Haley's eyes fluttered closed, her head tilting back as she moaned and whined out, her voice filling the room. Alex's heart swelled at the sound, his cock throbbing with yearning as he watched her lose herself in the pleasure he was giving her.

Pulling away as she almost tipped over, he chuckled softly hearing her whine. “Hold on sunflower.” Alex’s fingers hooked into the waistband of her panties, pulling them down quickly, his eyes never leaving hers. He could see the anticipation building in her gaze, her breath slowing slightly. He tossed her panties aside, his hands moving to her thighs, spreading them apart gently.

"Eyes on me, Sunflower," he commanded, his voice low and firm. Haley's eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze as he positioned himself between her legs, guiding her knees over his shoulders.

He leaned down, his tongue finding her cunt, licking and sucking, his fingers joining in, sliding in and out of her. He could feel her body tensing, her orgasm building once more as he increased his pace, his tongue flicking against her clit.

"Alex, please, I'm close," she pleaded, her hands finding his hair, her fingers tangling in the strands. He could feel her body trembling, her legs trying to close around his head as she neared the edge again.

He looked up at her, his eyes locked onto hers as he curled his fingers inside her, his tongue never stopping its assault on her clit. "Cum for me, baby," he growled, his voice vibrating against her.

His command was the straw that broke her. Her body convulsed, her orgasm ripping through her as she screamed his name, her fingers pulling roughly at his hair. He could feel her juices coating his fingers, his lips, and his chin as he continued to lick and suck, drawing out her pleasure.

As her body came down from its high, he slowly pulled his fingers out of her, licking them clean, his eyes never leaving hers. "You taste so fucking good, Haley," he murmured, his voice filled with satisfaction.

Haley's body was still trembling from the aftermath of her orgasm as he crawled up her body, his lips capturing hers in an emotional kiss. He could feel her body relaxing beneath him, her arms wrapping around his neck, pulling him closer into a kiss.

He felt his hardness pressing against her thigh, feeling her moan into his mouth, her hips shifting to grind against him, seeking friction.

"I need you, Alex," she whispered, her voice sounding breathless and light. Alex groaned, his eyes darkening as he looked down at her, his hand moving to his erection, positioning himself at her entrance, rubbing the tip against her wetness "Are you sure, baby?" he asked, his voice low and husky. Haley nodded, her eyes locked onto his as she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer.

"Please, Alex" she begged, her hips rolling against him, trying to get him to enter her. Alex chuckled, his hands moving to her hips, holding her in place as he slowly pushed inside her, inch by inch, allowing her to adjust to his size.

"Fuck, Sunflower," he groaned, his eyes closing briefly as he bottomed out inside her. Haley could feel herself stretching to accommodate him, her body tingling with pleasure as he filled her.

"Alex, move, please" she whimpered, her nails digging into his back as she urged him on. Alex obliged, his hips beginning to move in a slow, steady rhythm, his cock sliding in and out of her. He could feel her body clenching around him, her moans filling the room as he picked up the pace, his thrusts becoming more powerful.

"That's it, baby," he encouraged, his voice low and sultry as he leaned down to capture her mouth in a consuming kiss. Haley could taste herself on his lips, the sensation sending a jolt of electricity straight to her core. She could feel her orgasm building once more, her body tensing as Alex started to pound into her, his cock hitting that spot inside her that made her see stars.

"Alex, I'm close," she panted, her body writhing beneath him as she neared the edge. Alex growled, his fingers tangling in her hair as he held her close. “Me too.” He groaned out burying his face in her neck.

“T-Together.” Haley mewled out as she leaned her head back, her eyes rolling up.

Alex nodded, his breath hot on her neck as he continued to pound into her, his pace relentless. He could feel his orgasm building, his balls tightening as he chased his release alongside Haley.

"Cum with me, baby," he growled, his voice strained as he held her close, reaching between them, his fingers finding her clit and rubbing it in tight, rough circles. Haley cried out, her body convulsing as her orgasm crashed over her, her pussy clamping down around him.

"Alex!" she screamed, her nails digging into his back as she rode out her climax. Feeling her come apart beneath him, Alex let go, his orgasm ripping through him as he filled her with his hot seed, groaning her name against her neck.

Alex breathed in her scent as they layed there together as they came down from their shared bliss, looking up from her neck he chuckled watching Haley, her mouth open slightly as she caught her breath.

Pulling back Alex rubbed her sides gently, rocking his hips a few times before reluctantly pulling his cock from her warmth, groaning slightly as he watched his cum drip out of her. “Fuuuuck baby.” He chuckled softly as he rubbed her inner thigh.

Gently moving her to her side and pulling her close as he spooned her from behind, his arms wrapped tightly around her. "I love you, Haley," he murmured, his voice gentle as he kissed her shoulder.

Haley turned her head to look at him, her eyes soft and warm as she smiled at him. "I love you too, Alex," she replied, her voice filled with happiness as she snuggled into his embrace, their bodies fitting perfectly together.

Laying there for a moment enjoying the quiet, Haley chuckled as she felt Alex’s grip relax around her, hearing his breathing relax. “Awe tuckered out baby?” Haley teased looking up at him, blinking slightly as she noticed Alex had fallen asleep. “Oh, baby...” She cooed quietly, softly kissing his nose.

Since you've mentioned it -- what's your take on Halex? They somehow simultaneously make sense and don't make sense to me. Maybe this is what makes them a good ship. I was wondering what are your ideas about their dynamics? :)

Y'all are enabling the hell out of me istg lmao

Pretty sure this is in reference to this post where I mention having a Halex agenda. I have posted about them before but it was a few months ago.

Okay so picture this. Haley has a bit of a reputation as dumb and mean.

She is actually smart, but refuses to try to understand things that she sees as irrelevant to her or boring. So she won't pay attention in math class but she will be able to estimate the total cost of a dress with tax minus the sale discount all in her head.

She is a genius at Instagram, getting a decent following pretty quickly.

She is good at reading people, and has no patience for anyone who isn't straight to the point or clear in their intentions. Which is part of why she likes Alex so much, because he's got about as much depth to him as a kiddie pool, and needs protecting.

She also understands how he sees the world more simply because she kind of has a foot in that world too with how "dumb" she is about certain things (but again, just not caring to put the effort in to learn).

Alex is a sweet himbo and has major fucking heart-eyes for his girl. (This version of him has already had his feminist awakening where he unlearns the misogyny instilled in him by his upbringing)

He doesn't talk much because he's used to people seeing him differently when they realize he's got nothing interesting to say. He's also used to being shamed for asking questions, especially with the history of child abuse. He is extremely polite because of that too. Everyone is Sir or Ma'am.

But you know who he does talk to? Haley. Because they have enough trust and openness that he knows she will tell him if he is boring her. But, she never does because she has an incredible soft spot for him. She will listen to him talk about gridball all day just to watch his lips move, his cheeks dimple when he smiles.

His girl is high maintenance and he is a PROUD maintenance man. He opens every door, carries every bag, takes pictures of her on the beach for hours for her Instagram.

I like to picture them as having a major size difference, like Alex is 6'1 and Haley is 5'2. But Haley always wears huge heels to appear average height and she absolutely commands a room with her big attitude and her even bigger man behind her teehee. She calls him baby and he calls her baby, my girl, or Sunflower (thanks to @wrightingdungeon for that one)

Send me any Stardew Valley rarepair and I will tell you how I would make them work! (Even non-marriage npcs) If youre lucky you may get a mini fic out of it. Check the list below to see if Ive already answered yours

[babiebom]

Heyyy! I was wondering if u could do the bachelors & bachelorettes reactin to / dating an s/o who has really intense nose bleeds when they're stressed. But plot twist bc this is literally the norm for the farmer bc they have crippling anxiety, especially social.

Thank u sm!!

A/N: I don’t know why I thought this was funny??? My anxiety just makes my stomach upset but a nosebleed in front of everyone like some sort of anxious demon is funny. Not the clean up tho. I’ve never had a nosebleed but I know they bleed SO MUCH. Also no problemo!!! Always glad to get requests!! I did different things (so not just stressed because I would’ve written the same thing for anyone I made crush aspects as sort of for stress too lmao) for each hopefully they’re good enough!

Tw: cursing, blood, anxiety, the nose bleeds are VERY dramatic because it’s fiction lmao. Physical fights(in Leah’s part), arguments(in almost all of them). Pierre hate Pam hate(kinda) Demetrius hate Morris hate. And Kel is gender neutral! let me know if there’s anything else to tag!

Wc: idk lmao hopefully at least 100 words for each

Sebastian:

Just frowns

Actually helps unexpectedly

….we can never talk about this happening again if you want……

It’s not often that you get to see the towns resident emo, even after visiting Robin multiple times for various building needs. So when you wander into the house, looking for Robin so you can upgrade your coop, seeing him makes your brain malfunction.

“Oh…hey farmer.” He greets, moving past you to head further into the house. You blink for a second before returning the greeting, watching as his dark hoodie disappears behind a wall.

You try to force your breathing to slow down. There is absolutely NO reason you should be this worked up over a literal one second conversation. While you sit with your thoughts, foot steps fill your ears and the sight of Sebastian returning from wherever he went makes all of your progress regress. “So…you here waiting for my mom?”

You nod quickly, clearing your throat, “yeah…um…just need to upgrade my chicken coop.”

“Oh well, she’s not in today. She usually goes to Pierre’s store to work out with the other moms.”

You frown to yourself, how did you miss that she wouldn’t be in today? Damn now all you can think about is how you just made a fool of yourself. Lost in your thoughts, you miss that Sebastian had cleared his throat a couple times until he waves a hand in front of your face.

“If you want, I can take your order and tell her when she gets home later. That way she can get started tomorrow.”

“Would you?” Your heart flips as you perk up. Was he usually this nice? You kinda heard from Robin herself that Sebastian never really interacted with people he wasn’t already friends with.

“Yeah sure.” He shrugs and moves to go around the counter, setting his slowly cooling food down. “Okay so she usually charges 10,000g and you have to have 400 logs of wood and 150 things of stone. Sound right?”

You nod and hand over the bag of money. The second your hands touch it’s like your body decided it couldn’t handle anything else from him. Luckily he just takes the money and pretends like your nose hasn’t become a geyser as you scramble to try to keep the blood from dripping all over their furniture.

Sam:

WOAH DUDE IS THAT LIKE….NORMAL?

it’s like from a movie or something

Is overall sorta scared but at the same time thinks it’s cool

“And this is how I do a kick flip!” Sam shows you skateboard trick after trick and honestly you can’t get enough of it. It wasn’t a secret that the both of you had crushes on each other, and even now it was very obvious by how you were watching him do his tricks that you had feelings for him. Yet still you two weren’t in a relationship, just sort of friends who like each other in a romantic sort of way.

“You’re so cool!” You clap as he lands another trick.

“And you’re cute!”

“What?”

You freeze in your spot and watch in confusion as he sort of freezes midway through his next trick and crashes to the ground. His words echo in your head, making your face heat up and your heart soar. He smacks his face on the ground, sending you into a panic because now all you can think about is how he thinks you’re cute, and now how he probably has a concussion from hitting his face directly onto the concrete.

When he lifts his face off the ground, you’re kneeling next to him, trying to check on him. His forehead is bleeding, his nose is bleeding, and so is his mouth. You shriek and try to go through your backpack to see if you have anything to help him. You didn’t.

You already know where this is leading, and you let out a groan of annoyance right before your nose starts leaking just like his. His eyes widen and he lets out a loud laugh. Maybe you two can move out of the weird friendship you have after all.

Shane:

Would just stare silently

Like no comments no nothing

Doesn’t even act like it’s happening

Having a part time job at Joja Mart during the winter is one of the absolute worst ideas that you’ve had in a while. But you didn’t make a lot during your first year of farming. Stacking the products onto the shelves, your only saving Grace is the fact that you’re allowed to have earphones in. Except for the fact that Pam is now standing next to you asking loudly about where something is. Shane is stacking the shelves behind you.

“I don’t know Pam…the alcohol is probably on the wall in the back.” You frown at her. She obviously knows that you don’t know this store that well, you were a FARMER that NEVER shopped here before. She rasps out another question and it takes everything in you to not snap at her. Trying to calm yourself of course there’s gonna be something else that makes you lose your mind. That something is Morris, coming over and being the absolute WORST and in turn making Pam LOUDER and more insistent.

He’s lecturing you, Pam is agreeing with him way too loudly, the music on your headphones is now overwhelming instead of calming, and the sound of random things in the market is making you want to bite a chunk out of the loaves of bread in front of you, plastic and all. With everything building up inside of you, you already know what’s going to happen. It always happens, but instead of excusing yourself you stand there, staring Morris down as the blood begins to flow from your nostrils.

Pam yells out curses and Morris begins to stutter, but behind them Shane just stares for a second before continuing to work. When you’re finally left alone with him in the aisle as your two stressors hastily take their leave, all he does is let out a dry chuckle.

“Sam has a hell of a mess to clean up…”

Alex:

Oh DUDE your nose is like….LEAKING

Doesn’t help

Just watched and comments

“AND THEN HE HAS THE NERVE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT MY HARVESTS ARE HIS BUT HE ONLY DOES IT IF ITS GOOD!” You rant to the brown haired boy, pacing back and forth in his room. Thankfully both Evelyn and George were out so you weren’t bothering anyone except for the man in front of you.

You huff and puff as he watches, slightly amused slightly concerned. Alex wasn’t the best person to go to when you’re upset unless it was something absolutely devastating. So being in front of him now, complains about your farming woes meant that he was only half ass taking it seriously. “You should go and speak your mind.” He says.

Turns out you should NOT take advice from Alex. Standing in Pierre’s shop, you’re staring him down angrily, anxiety creeping up your throat from you trying to will yourself to call him out on his bullshit. The older man just kind of stares at you in confusion because all you had done was shout his name angrily as you entered the shop then stand in front of him seething.

“You….you…..” you point a finger at him. This was the moment, the moment you stand up for yourself and tell Pierre how HORRIBLE he is!

But of course things don’t work how you want and your nose gushes out blood all over the counter before you can work yourself up to the point of accusations. With a gasp you run out of the shop, hoping that he would keep his mouth shut with Alex running behind you laughing. Again, NEVER let Alex talk you into anything.

Elliott:

Panics

How do I help PLS LET ME HELP

Everything probably gets messy

Fishing had never been your favorite pastime, but now trying to fix up the community center you had to. Unfortunately Willy was gone and couldn’t properly teach you even though he had gifted you an old rod of his, so the next best thing is getting your boyfriend to teach you since he does fish often. Now you stand on the docks, waiting for a fish to bite the hook.

“Keep calm, the fish can feel your fear and it makes them upset.” Elliott spoke. In all honesty you didn’t even know if that was true or not, but you take in a breath to calm down. You did not want to be here all day you had cows to pet.

The second your line begins to pull you try to pull the fish in. And you succeed until it comes time to unhook the eel you managed to catch. The eel is slimy and slippery and all around not a good thing to try to grip. A shriek leaves your lips and the eel struggles, Elliott tries to help you but is also struggling to catch hold of it. And now your nose is bleeding adding another layer to the already hellish experience.

You’re unhappy, the eel is unhappy, and Elliott is unhappy. After what seems like an hour, the stupid thing slips out of your grips and back into the ocean, washing your nose blood off of it and splashing you with saltwater. 0 out of 10 you will not be trying again.

Harvey:

Calm but concerned(after panicking for a second)

Has a doctory approach to it

But is secretly like WTF inside

Your heart thumps in your chest as you sit on the clinic bed. It’s been a while since you’ve been in Harvey’s clinic, having taken a break from the mines, and somehow this seems more shameful than having been beaten almost to death by living slime. Your hands bleed into the cloth you have pressed into it. One of the pigs knocked you over into the broken fence you were in the middle of fixing. Now you sit waiting for the good looking Doctor.

When he walks in he’s all smiles, tapping his clipboard with his pen. “While I’m sad to see that you’re injured, I’m glad to see it isn’t from those mines again.” The eye contact he makes with you makes your heart twist for a second.

He starts speaking of all the shots you need and the antibiotics you need to take, rust poisoning is quite serious you know. “Now,” he says, moving towards you, “let me see your hand.”

Your heart thumps erratically at the close proximity of him and you. You only really ever got to see him this close when you were half dead and barely conscious. His face is much too close for you to be able to do anything but focus on how pretty his eyes are, and how fluffy his mustache is, and how…

“OH MY DEAR YOBA” He yelps and jumps away from you. It takes only a second after him to realize what’s going on, and now your furiously wiping away at your nose with your hands instead of with the cloth, and he’s trying to get something on your nose to catch the blood. It’s a disaster, really. But at least you’re already in a clinic!

Penny:

Probably panics

Doesn’t know how to deal with it

Would try to help though

The warmth of the pool in the spa did nothing to ease your nerves as you waded in the shallow end of the pool. Penny had invited you to come sometime after 7 pm, and when you had arrived she was already waiting for you, kicking her feet in the pool. The thought of her asking you here made your stomach turn, did you do something wrong…? Was she inviting you here to tell you she hated you or something…? You had grown close to her over your time here and would hate it if she thought you were too much or something.

“Do you know why I invited you here?” She asks, moving closer but keeping her eyes on the water.

You shake your head, “I’m not exactly sure, no.”

She frowns and sighs at you, meeting your eyes for a fleeting second then looking elsewhere. “Really? I thought you would’ve noticed by now…” her words trail off and her eyebrows furrow.

The next few seconds are ones that you simultaneously want to remember for forever and forget. She confesses her feelings for you. Feelings that you obviously reciprocate, and the emotions in you mix and grow, rising up your throat as if you were a volcano of conflicting feelings. As soon as you open your mouth to tell her that yes, you like her too, her face morphs into one that’s horrified instead of hopeful, disgusted instead of smitten and you realize a second after she does that your nose is spouting red, dyeing the water you both were swimming in.

Penny shrieks for a solid second before trying to scramble out of the water as fast as she can. You do the same, swirling the red around the pool as both of you splash trying to exit the now crime scene looking pool. When you get out of the water, she’s holding a towel right in your face, smooshing it so hard you can barely breathe and now your nose is throbbing with slight pain. “What do we do?!” She asks moving about quickly. She’s so confused that she just keeps walking and turning as if she’s remembering and forgetting things at the same time.

You just tilt your head downward and cringe inwardly, this was not the way to get a girl to like you. “It’s fine…I’m fine,” you say voice nasally and muffled. “And I like you too by the way.”

Haley:

confused staring

wtf is happening

Actually speechless

It isn’t every day that you get to talk to a beautiful blonde. It isn’t even every day that you talk to anyone. So when she approaches you on one of your trips off of your farm you couldn’t help but feel like either everything is out to get you or that you’re up on your luck. You don’t really know for sure, it honestly depends on how things go.

“Hey farmer!” She smiles as soon as she stops in front of you, the feeling of your stomach twisting makes you want to vomit in all of your nervousness. “I have a favor to ask you…”

“Yeah?” You ask trying to keep your cool. “What is it?”

“I would totally love love LOVE you forever if you could bring me an amethyst? It’s for Emily’s birthday and I don’t really like Clint so I don’t wanna buy anything from him. I’m willing to pay 150g!”

You cough into your fist, nodding along and taken aback by how casually she’s speaking to you. Before you can accept doing her the favor, the horrified look on your face makes your words falter.

She looks absolutely horrified, and touching your hand to your face you can feel why. Your nose started dripping blood, and by dripping you mean you can now feel it running down to your chin. A flurry of curses leave your mouth as confused noises leave hers. It's not much of a surprise that this has happened, but man did you wish it wasn't in front of her.

Emily:

Surprisingly chill about it

Probably has a weird story about a nosebleed or something

Actually helps

You sit at the bar alone, upset at a horrible farming day. You tried your best, you really did, but those stupid ass crows actually ate ALL of your seedlings. Or…almost all of them but that’s basically the same thing! There is no way you’re gonna make enough to make it through winter comfortably. You told Emily exactly this, appreciative of her listening ear in the middle of her busy shift.

“You know they probably didn’t mean it…or maybe they did,” she sucks in a breath eyebrows furrowing as she thinks, “you know crows are very smart they probably know that you’re using that land to farm and stay there because of all the free food.”

“But it’s not free!” You exclaim, throwing your hands up in annoyance, “I have to buy those seeds! They’re just putting me into debt!”

She hums and nods, wiping the bar next to you where a person had just left. You had only a couple months left until the snow started falling and making it virtually impossible to grow anything. The little plants you had left you had to fight the crows for. And by fight I mean you angrily swung a broom at the with the intent of scaring them (not hitting them that’s mean). Still the growing anger inside you was not easily crushed by her warm and quite frankly outlandish words. No, in fact your anger grew the more you thought about it.

You felt it coming before anything had even exited your nose, hurriedly snatching the rag from Emily’s hands. Damn now you would have to buy the bar a new one. She just blinks then nods as if your nose becoming a bloody waterfall was normal.

“You know…nose bleeds cause by stress is usually because your heart rate and blood pressure increase and it causes your blood vessels to dilate!”

You stare at her before laughing. Maybe she was helpful after all.

Abigail:

WOAH

WTF

WHAT DO WE DO?

You stand in front of Pierre in front of the shop, arms crossed as you watch his face grow redder the longer time goes on. “-IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAUGHTER?” You’re not really listening to his tirade, over the whole ‘protective dad’ thing.

“Dad I’m an adult! You have no say in who I date!” Abigail yells back, face equally red. Who would’ve known that he would have a problem with the farmer he rips off constantly dating his daughter?

He yells out more reasons that the two of you shouldn’t be dating, and in turn points a finger into your chest roughly. You sputter out an offended sound, moving away from him. “Don’t touch me!”

“You shouldn’t be touching my daughter!”

“What? Dude we just started dating, you’re weird as hell!”

The arguing only gets worse from there, accusations flying around and now an audience comes with the drama. It’s almost too much for you to handle with now Caroline, Harvey, Haley, and the Milner family standing and watching the chaos. “Abby let’s just go to my place…” you try suddenly feeling the need to escape and no longer feeling the ‘fuck you dude’ attitude.

“No! He needs to understand that he can’t control my life!”

It’s like a volcano in your body and just like a volcano your nose begins to erupt. Now you’re screaming, Abigail is screaming, Pierre is screaming, the Mullners are screaming. Could this get any worse?

Turns out yeah, it can get any worse, like a family fight worse and now all of you are sitting in Harvey’s clinic. At least you aren’t the only bloody one now.

Maru:

Is surprised

Also forgets what to do

Would probably make things worse

Maru talks about robots and space the way you would talk about her: totally and completely enamored. You sit on her bed listening to her talk about her newest invention, some sort of robot that can cook and clean and basically be a free maid. You laugh and move your arm to get in a more comfortable position to watch her. Unfortunately your arm had other plans and smacked hard into her bed post. Groaning out in pain, your eyes close and begin to water from how much your elbow hurt.

Demetrius is in your face before you even realize that he was in the room. You yelp out in surprise as he starts ranting about you ruining his daughter’s future. You blink in surprise and try to retreat back into the mattress. What was happening. You can hear Maru screaming over his words but your ears feel like they’re filled with water.

“We’re just friends!” You find yourself shouting. Like damn is the man insane? It wasn’t the first time he’s gotten upset at you over Maru, but it was the first time that he was absolutely losing his mind.

“Dad stop!”

Time froze for a second as you and Demetrius stared at each other, Maru standing near him. Breathing in you can taste blood in your mouth before your nose starts bleeding, yet you can’t bring yourself to do anything but sit and catch your breath.

“Oh my god!” Both Demetrius and Maru exclaim moving around the room trying to find something to help. You couldn’t help but feel annoyed at him acting concerned now.

Thankfully Maru looked cute trying to help you which at least made things a little better.

Leah:

Is also freaking out on the inside but calm on the outside

Helps you with tissues

Is understanding

Going on a date with Leah is a dream come true. There’s paint, wine, food, and you’re sitting in the prettiest meadow you’ve ever seen, well it’s pretty because Leah is there and she’s pretty and you’ve been here multiple times because it’s near her cottage but it still looks different today.

You sit, paintbrush in hand, laughing at something she’s saying. It’s fun and if she hadn’t have asked you would’ve spent the day farming like usual, this little break was needed. The day couldn’t be ruined, absolutely nothing can ruin it.

Okay, one thing can ruin it and that one thing is Kel coming and ruining everything. The argument that ensues is one of the worst that you’ve seen. Kel tries to walk up on you(translation: Kel wants to fight you), Leah stops them but in turn gets into a fight with them which causes you to actually get up and try to defend her.

You kinda block out until you can hear Kel call out “I made your nose bleed bitch!” Which again causes you to want to drown in your anger.

“My noses is bleeding because I’m stressed, stupid!” You back. It’s obvious Kel hadn’t been able to hit your nose so claiming to be able to hit you so hard your nose bleeds isn’t even possible. It’s almost childish how the two of you argue.

Leah finally gets Kel to leave and hands you a bunch of tissues as she sits you down on the now rumpled blanket. As the two of you catch your breath and calm down, you find yourself smiling at her behind the wad of tissues catching blood flowing from your nose.

At least the situation would be funny in the future.

[probablyasocialecologist]

King’s harshest and most famous criticism of Malcolm X, in which he accused his fellow civil rights leader of “fiery, demagogic oratory,” appears to have been fabricated.

“I think its historic reverberations are huge,” Eig told The Washington Post. “We’ve been teaching people for decades, for generations, that King had this harsh criticism of Malcolm X, and it’s just not true.”

The quote came from a January 1965 Playboy interview with author Alex Haley, a then-43-year-old Black journalist, and was the longest published interview King ever did. Because of the severity of King’s criticism, it has been repeated countless times, cast as a dividing line between King and Malcolm X. The new revelation “shows that King was much more open-minded about Malcolm than we’ve tended to portray him,” Eig said.

[...]

Some of the phrases added to King’s answer appear to be taken significantly out of context, while others appear to be fabricated.

It is a standard practice in journalism when publishing Q&A-style interviews to make minor changes, such as removing excessive “ums” or truncating long answers where the subject repeats their point over and over again or wanders from the topic at hand. But journalists typically take great pains to ensure any changes do not alter the intended meaning of an interviewee’s response. In addition, outlets commonly will include an editor’s note informing the reader of such changes.

What Haley appears to have done amounts to “journalistic malpractice,” Eig said.

"You were avoiding me." Haley finally said, and she commended her voice from not shaking. "You don't want to dance with me." "I..." You seemed taken aback by Haley's observation. "I wasn't..."

Notes:

The most awaited Flower Festival. Buckle up, simps.

Spring 24

Four days.

Four freaking days since you had abruptly decided to avoid her.

And yes, she's definitely counting it. 

What she didn't get is why? Why the sudden aversion?

Haley had tried to rack her brain for any reason, just anything but she couldn't find any. She tried to recall the events that night.

Haley took you home from the saloon because your ass was so drunk you couldn't even stand on your own feet without tripping.

And then there's... that.

With a heavy sigh, Haley placed her white dress for the flower dance on her bed.

She should have been excitedly preparing for the upcoming dance, but the stupid farmer had been occupying her mind today.

Even yesterday.

And even the day before that, and the day after that. 

After your sudden declaration of 'feelings?' (yes, she's questioning because what the hell does that mean?), Haley had found herself speechless for the umpteenth time that night.

She couldn't find her voice, or rather, she didn't know how to respond to that. Fortunately, before she could, you shook your head as if you had said something silly.

Your moment of soberness dissipated completely as you slumped back to Haley. You had been a bit cooperative after that as both of you were able to go to your farm without any further hitch.

Haley was all but familiar with your farm. She had occasionally taken her pictures here when Old Railey was alive. She was fond of him.

He was kind and he kind of reminded her of her grandma. When he died, there was a large part of Haley that still grieves for him until now. Which is maybe why she was a bit apprehensive at you when she first came. At Haley's little time at Pelican town, she knew how much Old Railey sacrificed for the farm, to see it run down like that and be given to a complete stranger— a city girl no less, never mind you're his granddaughter.

But as she stood at the entrance of the farm, with the same farmer she loathed beside her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as she saw the state of the farm for the first time since you moved here. 

The once-overgrown grass and unruly weeds that had taken over the farm were now perfectly tamed. A neatly constructed wooden path led towards what Haley assumed was your cabin.

Despite the darkness surrounding her, she could spot a variety of spring crops flourishing in the distance. Blue jazz, cauliflower, green beans, parsnips, and many others were thriving under your care. While there were still renovations to be done, Haley couldn't help but be impressed by how well you were doing. As if you're really meant for farming.  

The cabin looks freshly renovated, too. Last time she heard it was a bit crusty and on the verge of collapsing.

As Haley stepped into your home, she was greeted by a small ginger cat. The feline locked eyes with her for a moment, assessing her presence before realizing she meant no harm and had come with her owner.

Sensing Haley's intention, the cat let out a loud meow, leading her towards a closed door on the right, which she assumed to be your room.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Haley had managed to settle you on the bed and was ready to head home herself. However, it appeared that you had other plans.

You suddenly sat up straight and grabbed her hand as if sensing Haley was about to leave.

Haley looked at you, waiting expectantly.

And then it happened.

There's vomit.

It was everywhere—on Haley's pajamas, the blankets, and even your own shirt.

Haley wanted to scream in frustration, but worry had won over her disgust as she heard you have a coughing fit. She gently shook your shoulders, trying to get your attention.

"Are you okay?" she asked, concern lacing her words.

"I'm..." you coughed, voice strained, "my head hurts..."

And that's the sole reason Haley has to borrow some set of clothes from the farmer's wardrobe, change the bed sheets and blankets—

And...

Change your clothes.

The memory made Haley's cheeks burn with embarrassment, but she had no other choice. There was no way she could sleep beside you with vomit-stained sheets, and you smelling like that.

Haley's face flushed with embarrassment as a sudden realization hit her like a ton of Emily's hippie rocks.

Oh...

There's also one bed. You and her slept on the same bed.

So, it kinda makes sense now.

Why in Yoba's name has she just realized this now?

No wonder Emily had given her a funny look earlier when she had returned that morning wearing obviously your varsity shirt.

Haley had also completely missed the bright, bold letters spelling out "L/N" stitched on the back of the shirt, which is also why Penny couldn't look at her in the eyes when they crossed paths that morning when the redhead decided to visit you at the farm to check on you.

Yoba.

They must have thought that you and her had slept together.

And maybe you thought that, too as well.

The thought made Haley cringe and she facepalmed at the awkwardness of the situation.

It certainly didn't help that you couldn't remember anything from that night after your eighth bottle.

And to add to the mix-up, you had to wake up with a hangover and everything and seeing Haley casually cooking breakfast in your house while wearing your shirt.

It was practically a neon signboard pointing at her as if saying "hey, last night was an absolute blast, why don't I make you some breakfast while I'm here?" 

Just great.

This is an absolute disaster.

****

"Is she joining the dance?" Haley wondered aloud, her eyes fixed on you who was engaged in a conversation with Penny, Maru, and Harvey.

"Hmm?" Alex paused in his fidgeting, adjusting his suit that had somehow grown on him. He followed Haley's gaze and spotted you amidst the group. "Oh, you mean Old Mac? I don't think so."

Haley turned to him with furrowed eyebrows," Old Mac? What's with you and all these people calling her all sorts of names? Why can't you just call her Y/n and stick with it?"

"Whoa, slow down, cowgirl." Alex barked out a laugh at her sudden outburst. "What's got your panties in a twist?" 

"Nothing!" Haley replied, trying to brush off her frustration. Deep down, though, the different names people used for you bothered her more than she cared to admit.

And the worst of it all is she doesn't know why she's pissed.

She turned away as she began pacing back and forth in the middle of the performance area.

She needs to practice her moves. Despite being crowned the flower queen for five consecutive years and having the dance steps etched into her muscle memory, she didn't want to be so full of herself.

But in reality, she was just trying her absolute best to not let her eyes settle on someone who wasn't even looking her way. 

Which she have found to be a challenge.

You looked dashing, if Haley would dare admit that aloud.

Your hair is down too in its slick, natural wave, which you usually tied up in a messy ponytail.

You looked pretty similar to the way you looked when you first arrived in the town though you forgo the black slacks in exchange of a more brighter blue one, the same shade of the ridiculous suits the men wore for the dance which have made her assume you'll be dancing as well.

But with whom? 

Usually, there are already designated partners for the dance and it would be quite impossible for you to learn the steps in just a month. 

Maybe Penny? Leah? Or that weirdo that dyes her head blue all the time? She assumed you were close with her when you dominated all the eggs Abigail was after which earned the kids to win during the egg festival. 

Whatever.

Why would she care anyway? You weren't even looking in her direction. Not even noticing that Haley did her hair differently or that she had chosen to apply a more natural make-up because you told her she's pretty enough without them.

"Ah!" 

The sound of cry from Alex had made her dash towards his place in alarm.

Sam was immediate to his side, along with the other townspeople. "What happened?" she asked in urgent.

"Sorry, pal. I may have thrown it a bit too far." Sam scratched his neck in shame.

"Samson!" Jodi angrily admonished her son. "Look just what you did!"

"Ow..." Alex grunted as he tried to reach for his foot. "I think I broke my ankle." 

"Can you stand?" You questioned as you helped him up. "Why'd you even bring your grid ball here?"

"H-hah. I can but I don't think I can walk it off. Hey, gramps. Mind if I borrow your wheels?" He tried to joke it off.

"Alexander!" Evelyn wasn't pleased with ay all with his humor.

"Heh, I'll give you this if I could go back home and watch TV."

"George! Don't even encourage him."

"Ehem," Mayor Lewis cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the crowd. "The festival is about to begin in five minutes. Will you be able to dance, young man?"

"I don't think so." Alex immediately answered, causing Haley to snap her head towards him in disbelief.

"What do you mean you can't?" she exclaimed, her eyes widening. "How am I supposed to dance without a partner?"

She knew it was a selfish question but how can he be so stupid bringing his ball with him?!

A mischievous grin spread across Alex's lips as he pulled you closer, resting his hand on your shoulders. "Old Mac here can replace me. I already taught her the moves."

"What?" you choked, eyebrows raising so far it hid behind your bangs. "I don't..."

"You got this. There's no need to worry. In fact," he shrugged off his coat and handed it over to your shaking hands. "It doesn't fit me anymore. It'll probably suit you better."

"B-but..." 

"Wouldn't it be better if Sam takes your place since he's already familiar with the dance?" Penny tentatively suggested as she eyed Haley. "I know how much winning the crown means to you, Haley. It might be best for Sam to step in for Alex, considering it was his fault too." She glanced apologetically at Sam. "Sorry, Sam. I can dance with Y/n/n instead."

"Um, no," Alex dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "Haley feels more comfortable dancing with Old Mac. That's more important." 

"W-wait a second," Haley finally found her voice, her gaze still avoiding the person standing beside her. She could feel your eyes on her, and Haley wasn't ready just yet to see the look of refusal from your eyes. "Can't we get a say in this?!" 

"Nope!" Alex chirped.

"Very well, then," Mayor Lewis interjected, clapping his hands together. "Let the festival begin!"

****

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to," Haley whispered, her hands trembling slightly as they held onto your neck. Her palms had grown clammy, and her racing heart seemed to drown out the lively rhythm of the music.

"Huh?"

Your voice held a hint of confusion, drawing Haley's gaze away from the ground to meet a pair of captivating gray eyes. The faintest tinge of pink colored your cheeks and your eyes struggled to hold steady.

You looked... bashful.

It also did not miss her how the hands securely wrapped around her waist were shaking as well.

"You were avoiding me." Haley finally said, and she commended her voice for not squeaking. "You don't want to dance with me."

"I..." You seemed taken aback by Haley's observation. "I wasn't..."

"Could've fooled me," Haley muttered under her breath as you gracefully twirled her around and pulled her back into your arms.

Despite the thick tension between you two, it looked like you really did actually perfected your moves and were able to dance in sync with Haley's.

"You wanted to dance with Penny, don't you?" She almost sounded accusatory.

"I don't." Your answer was swift. "I don't want to dance with anyone but you. And I wasn't avoiding you."

Haley avoided your gaze. "Where were you then? I haven't seen you in days. You haven't visited us for breakfast." Her grip on your coat tightened as she looked up from the taller woman. "If it was because of what happened that day, nothing happened, okay?"

As you twirled her once more, your bodies drew closer, so close that she could also see bits of hazel from your gray eyes.

Your cheeks burned once more as you muttered, "It's not that."

"Tell me," Haley demanded.

"I was out mining." You admitted sheepishly. "And maybe I was kind of avoiding you..." Your eyes started cringing at the glare Haley was giving you. "I was embarrassed that I puked on you. Alex told me it was your self-care day and... I know I ruined it for you. And now I ruined your dance."

Haley's gaze softened drastically. "Idiot," she mutters, her arms finally relaxing against your shoulder. "You haven't ruined anything." She told you simply.

"Yet," you added, chuckling.

As the tension dissipates, you grow a little bolder as your hands relaxed around her waist, pulling Haley a little tighter against you. The warmth radiating from your palms gave Haley a profound sense of security, one she haven't felt for a long, long time.

"You know," Haley whispered against your neck, relaxing against your embrace. She didn't care if this wasn't part of the choreography. "You smell good today."

She felt you smiled against her hair, "Had to smell my best for my queen, right?"

Bachelor(ette)s react to a handmade gift!

Aka Bachelor's and ettes x reader

Honestly a lot of these can be read as platonic, and for Sam, if you just ignore that bullet point, it can be platonic too lol

Loosely based on a request by @vvnbxz !

Sam

• Loves it.

• Loves it Loves it Loves it Loves it.

• Like anything from you and he is happy.

• But If you made something just for him? Oh he would be crazy happy.

• Peppers you with kisses all over your face.

• Then gives you a hug and like gushes about how cool you are.

Sebastian

• He would probably be the most chill.

• He would obviously say thanks out of politeness and genuinely liking it!

• But he doesn't make it a thing.

• If you are close with him tho, he gets very happy about it when he is just thinking before he goes to sleep.

• Like woah! They made this just for me!

• It makes him feel special.

Alex

• Awh Alex is just a sweetie.

• He would be so so so happy.

• Whatever you made him, he would try and figure put how you did it.

• Then, he would make one for you!

• Whether that be a piece of clothing (the one he made would be falling apart), a mug, literally anything.

• Just enjoys your presence and your sentiment and wants to reciprocate the gesture.

Harvey

• Stoked!

• Like he is so precious about it.

• He displays whatever you give him on a shelf on his room.

• He feels like it's too precious to ever actually use it in fear of damaging it.

• Eventually he learns it's okay to actually use the things, but he is just so happy to receive something from you!

Shane

• He probably wouldn't realize it was handmade at first.

• You gave him a cup cozy that you made for all the soda he drinks haha

• When he realizes he just thinks it's cool!

• Wouldn't be dramatic or flabbergasted like some of the others.

• He already knows you've been crafty.

• But yeah he thinks it's neat!

Elliott

• He would be over the top.

• My dramatic man haha

• No but he would be complimenting you left and right, saying how talented you are!

• Would not let it go for nearly the whole season!

• Brags about it to Leah. Constantly.

• He is just so happy he connected with you, and that you actually think about him!

Haley

• Thinks it's so cool!!!

• If you just met Haley, you'd probably think she only likes brand name stuff

• But she is a sucker for home made!!

• She can't make things for crap imo, so she thinks you are so talented.

• I think she'd love if you knew how to sew or crochet.

• She would wear the clothes you make her all the time.

Emily

• Oh Emily would just die if you made her something

• Like she would be flabbergasted.

• You would probably learn how to make something just to give it to Emily.

• Like you'd learn how to paint and give her a mug you painted?

• She would be so touched that you thought of her! Would use/wear it constantly

Leah

• Leah, like Emily, would be so happy!!

• You'd learn how to sculpt just to try and make her something!

• She ends up getting a finger pot from you, as it was the very first thing you ever sculpted.

• She thinks it's so sweet that you learned a new skill just to give her something.

Penny

• Penny would love it!

• She definitely appreciates the sentiment of a gift more than the gift itself.

• So give this girl anything and she is over the moon

• I feel like she would like a good scarf or clothing accessory

• So you made her a big warm scarf!!

• She wears it all the time.

• Once she even tried to style it for spring and got wayyyy to hot that she felt sick-

• But she just wanted to show you how much she appreciated it!

Maru

• Thinks it's very sweet of you!!

• She has a lot of technological crafty stuff, but doesn't really work much with artsy things.

• So if you gave her something you made (ie a scarf, clothes, artwork) she would think it's super cool!

• Would probably ask you to teach her. She loves to learn new things.

Abigail

• Not going to lie, y'all probably made it together!

• She is super hands on with literally everything, and is pretty crafted herself.

• You probably were both making bracelets and then traded at the end of the day!

• They ended up having the same color scheme, totally on accident, so Abigial wears hers all the time.

• She always gets really happy when she sees you wearing yours too!

An* I've never actually written for any of the bachelorettes, so this was really fun!!! They are all just short and sweet blurbs :3

“Baby, why did you bring a foam finger?” Haley asked in total confusion, wiping her eyes. Alex beamed at her and put it on. “For the fashion show! So I can go, ‘go Haley woo!’” he demonstrated by waving it around. Haley looked at him with a sort of helpless pity before breaking into another laugh. “That is.. so cute.”

@aug-kissed Aug-Kissed Week 1: Blow a Kiss. After a rough day and dealing with some insecurity about her body, Haley doesn't feel up to showing off her clothing haul. But Alex is going to make SURE she does, and has a great time doing it.
