#happy birthday to the absolute icon this guy is <3< /div> Explore tagged Tumblr posts

[hopeswriting]

i always love to see how many posts hibari gets for his birthday each year. such a fan favorite for real. he came first in all the khr popularity contests too iirc? or close enough if not. and for what? for beating people up and saying ten sentences tops each arc, half of them being him dissing other people, while not even caring to know what the plot he's being the mvp of is.

also it's me, i'm the fan who favorites

[blorbocedes]

i kinda have a basic idea Brocedes lore, like the timeline and everything. but were there moments post Monaco 2014 till the end of 2016 where Lewis and Nico had some nice and genuinely fun moments or were they all awkward and distant with each other?

the answer to this is complicated. well, my header gif happened months after monaco 14, in Abu Dhabi 14. so this is nico congratulating lewis for winning his 2nd championship (1st with merc) and its way after lewis said "we're not friends." so like all things brocede they're.. Like That (whyre u holding a man you're not friends with by the nape of his neck 😳😳😳🤨)

Ladies and gentlemen, a short look into the not so distant past...

obviously every year as the silver war progressed, tensions arose but that didn't mean they couldn't stand to look at each other. those 3 years of early merc domination era HAM-ROS were on every podium, and they were pretty happy spraying champagne on each other as I've documented here, and here

this is a video from December 2015 stars and cars where they're being very playful and teasing each other

this is them wishing each other happy birthday in 2015

this is nico on lewis' snapchat

this is nico playing football on lewis' snapchat (you can hear lewis snicker)

this is lewis lowering nico's chair on purpose in 2015

this is nico umm pretending to hold a bottle for lewis to pee in while DR live slug reacts Hungarian Grand Prix 2016

this is them giggling together at a sponsor event in 2016

this is them teasing each other about being old in 2016

there's definitely podiums and cool-down rooms where things are Tense and they're Avoiding Eye Contact/Talking to each other, depending on how the race went. but there's also them amused and laughing together such as mexico 16 and aus 16

we all remember the iconic nico throws cap at lewis but the crazy part is this was them hugging moments before,

and this is them partying together after that

this is AD16 and lewis is saying he likes presscons when it's just him and nico 🥲

this whole press con is ahhhhhh. pain

lewis' own words on how they were:

this isn't an exhaustive list, there's many more, but rather so you have an idea that although the popular narrative is once lewis said we're not friends post monaco 14 they never looked at each other again it's not exactly true. things never was like they're childhood besties again, but they also didn't outright despise each other despite what fandom might speculate. but that doesn't mean things weren't awkward and tense too, esp in merc meetings post race! cause it was! but they also had some sweet and fun moments in between :) such is the bittersweet nature of brocedes

4town Boys & Their Ace Pokemon

Vs the pokemon everyone thinks their Ace is!

Happy Pokemon Day :]

————

Robaire: Cinccino

- Robaire’s ace is of course a lovely and well kept Cinccino! He’s had her for a long while now & evolved her himself

- The two get along great and enjoy doing self care together!

- Robaire got her as a present from family in his teenage years as a birthday gift. He’s a big fan of Minccino & has probably done multiple fashion looks based off Minccino/Cinccino!

- However, until Robaire iconized his love for the pokemon, many expected a much different Ace from him 👀 and while answers varied, Robaire’s most common expectation was: Furfrou!

- Maybe its because he’s a diva, maybe it’s because its a fashion pokemon & he’s a fashionable guy, maybe its cause every other city kid had one- but not Robaire! He never much had an interest in getting one either, he’s not the fondest of the common Furfrou rudeness

- He’s probably also modeled with a lot of Furfrou in the past for shoots, which definitely doesn’t help with the misunderstanding of his Ace Pokemon- but nowadays he tries to be an openly proud & notable Cinccino trainer ✨

————

Jesse: Claydol

- Jesse’s ace of choice is his best friend: Claydol! He befriended this pokemon at a young age & grew with her :]!

- The two are eerily in sync and sometimes scare folks, but are undeniably a perfect duo

- Jesse found Claydol back when she was a Baltoy! He discovered her in a ditch while looking for “buried treasure” as a kid & ended up making a lifelong friend who loves & helps protect/watch his kids

- However, being an artist, Jesse faces every artist’s struggle of what ppl assume. Everyone thinks his ace is the ever iconic Smeargle 💀

- And dont get it twisted! Jesse has a Smeargle! He got one when he was very little as a birthday gift, unfortunately, he & Jesse butt heads A LOT and can hardly agree on anything! They are as perfect out of sync as Jesse & Claydol are in sync!

- Regardless Jesse loves his Smeargle, he loves his Claydol, he’s just tired of everyone assuming who’s his “most important” pokemon

————

Tae Young: Tranquill or Pidove!

- Tae Young’s ace is Tranquill & Pidove! And its no surprise, not after he’s iconized his love for the birds!

- He and all of his pigeony pals are well coordinated & loving! He has extremely high friendship/love with his pokenon

- Tae was absolutely awestruck with Pidove after moving away from Johto, he fell in love with the pokemon and would quickly grow to adopt and evolve his own! His love for the birds would grow so large that it’d become a part of his gimmick as a trainer!

- And while many newer fans know who Tae’s ace is, older fans of Tae before he joined 4*Town are always a bit confused to see he doesn’t have a Natu!

- Growing up a Johto kid, Natu was one of the plentiful pokemon in his area! And it took his favorite spot for a very long time, similarly to Pidove now- Natu used to be Tae’s most iconic pokemon!

- And while he has a Xatu back home with his grandma that he loves dearly, its really honestly more of her Pokémon now! And he’s happy for the connection the two share <:3

Bonus: Tae still has a Natu on his team & its shiny, but its very self conscious of that so Tae helps it “dress up” as a normal Natu

————

Aaron T: Gliscor

- Aaron T’s ace is the one and only Gliscor! And he’s just as bold as his trainer is, they’re not shy to doing stupid tricks together

- The two share a single braincell, its really impressive how they manage to pull anything off

- T of course found his friend as a Gligar when he was younger, undoubtedly finding the little bat while exploring somewhere he wasn’t supposed to. I dont imagine he properly caught Gligar for awhile either… rather he just.. kept grabbing it & dragging it back home??

- Either way they’re besties now, you couldn’t separate the two for anything! And while many fans think the duo is iconic, few folk’s ever guess T’s ace correctly! Rather, many suspect T to have: Pikachu!

- T loves Pikachu (though he loves Raichu more), but he’s never had one or thought to have one. He was forbidden from having any electric types as a kid (for obvious reasons) & thats still engrained in his brain. But he does love the electric mouse :]!

————

Aaron Z: Swoobat

- Aaron Z’s ever illusive Ace is Swoobat! Who is undeniably the most sweet of any of the pokemon listed <:]!

- Z & Swoobat share an awkward aura together, and while they seem to understand each other perfectly- others seem to have a hard time connecting

- Swoobat was a gift for Z from an older sibling, he received Swoobat as is and has been attached to him since he was a teen. Swoobat was the main of his older sister before she left for college :,]! She passed Swoobat on since Z actually wanted to be a trainer when he was an adult

- But while Swoobat & Z are fan favorites to Z’s portion of the fanbase- more uneducated fans often dont know Z has a pokemon! In the beginning of the group, Z’s ace was teased and was a mystery! The most popular speculation still haunts Z, many still assume is ace is: Meinshao

- He has a meinfoo from managers, one who dances with him and is training to evolve, but he finds that Meinfoo gets along much better with T & Gliscor then himself. So he often lets the 3 play around & hopes to trade Meinfoo over one day

In conclusion, I love movies !!! But my favorite movies are those that are confident in their identities and don’t hold back. Like share your message to the fullest !!!!

I watched a lot of stop-motion movies this year. I wanna watch more studio ghibli movies next year

And maybe I should purposefully try watching bad movies… it might make me appreciate good ones more and easier see what they do right. But also. I really dont wanna watch ralph breaks the internet.

[omends]

okay but like, when and WHY did people stop doing these ? I remember feeling so excited every time I was included in one, and I remember all the cool blogs and people I discovered through checking them out. well, terrible graphic aside, I am here to hopefully continue the tradition of follow forevers. first and foremost, I love ALL of my mutuals and followers ! owo please don't be discouraged if you don't find yourself on this list, I'm doing this on the fly and we all know my memory is shit so I'm bound to forget someone. but I'm not lying when I say I love and appreciate you all ! thank you for following me and tolerating me on your dash. <3 you are always welcome here / with me.

I know molly has worked really hard on her and I am so honored to have been a part of that developmental journey. just, another person I couldn't miss on this list. we love and support in this house.

LAST MEMENTO BIRTHDAY OF THE YEAR!!! HBD MATSUOKA SHUJI YOU ABSOLUTE ICON ILY <3

ok but fr I think this is my favourite birthday card out of the four I've done this year I'm so happy with how it turned out ^v^

Special lines

Ennosuke: I'm never sure what to expect for Matsuoka's birthday...Somehow just going to see a film was the last thing I expected, aha... Kiyoshi: Hey, Shuji. Happy birthday, I guess. Miyata: Happy birthday, Matsu! I'm gonna make sure to give you the biggest hug EVER! Of ALL TIME!! Hehe! Hatsune Miku (Memento Rosa): It's Matsuoka's birthday today. The others have been getting really excited!...Will he finally tell his feelings soon...?

Akito: Ugh, what're Akiyama and Kamishiro planning THIS time...!? ...Oh. It's his birthday, huh? Might as well give the guy my regards or something. Mizuki: Hey, hey! Happy birthday, big man! Oh, real quick, come up to the rooftop! Rui and I have a surprise for you~ Rui: Fufu~ I believe it's finally your turn with the birthday cannon, don't you agree? All you have to do is pull the string as hard as you can!

Matsuoka: ...To think so many people would be celebrating with me...It feels kinda weird, not gonna lie. Not something I'm used to...Heh, don't think I'll ever get used to it.

[yakumtsaki]

GUESS WHO’S HERE AGAIN. Seriously wtf is the wolf’s problem, why does he constantly show up in every lot except the one I want him to, GOD. 

Anyway, let’s get this update rolling cause I wanna get back to the main house at some point, it’s unreal how much time I spent on the spares, I really didn’t expect them to be such a shitshow. We begin with Melody and Gunther, who remain shockingly, disgustingly happy:

I’m not kidding when I tell you guys that Gunther hasn’t rolled a single cheating want his entire time with Melody. Loyal king! 

So Melody is in like her 100th LTW, she became a Mad Scientist while married to Daniel, then she became Hand of Poseidon-

-then she became a World Class Ballet Dancer (wtf lol)-

and finally she became an Ecological Guru! We stan a Renaissance Woman.

She also earned 100k without having it as an LTW, but whatever, it counts!

Melody also got to live her dog dreams as we adopted Lulu and she had 4 puppies with Benny..

..whom I named after painters since Gunther is an art ho:

This is Dali, Pollock, Frida, and Vincent! Unfortunately, as evidenced by Lucy Hanby’s presence, Gunther’s weeaboo house is not meant for this many pets, so we kept Frida and sent the other 3 to live with Angel and Wulf so we’ll be seeing them later (these dogs are the. WORST).

Finally, Gunther grows up in this iconic ‘leather blazer + boxers outfit’, when I tell you guys I lold for 5 min-

-and then Melody comes home from work, finishes her 5th LTW (I can’t remember what it was) and grows up in the same outfit! CUTE

And they lived happily ever after, ignoring their kids♡

We switch to Daniel, who’s.. uh.. not doing great. He had to get a job because it was Melody who was bringing in the big bux, and between that, taking care of JuJu and taking care of his 50 cats, he’s perma exhausted. 

He’s also rolling depressing fears such as above, thankfully between his kid interactions and his cat interactions he’s always plat. I did change his LTW from Golden Anniversary to the Journalism one because honestly I don’t think he would remarry anytime soon, he’d be focused on JuJu plus he’s bound to have some trust issues :(

The blows just won’t stop coming, as Roux, the last of the original Komei cats, passes away💔 End of an era.

-So you see, June, sometimes a family is a Daddy and the kids in one house, and the Mommy in a different house with Uncle Gunther! -But why is Mommy with Uncle Gunther? -Beats me, honey.

Despite the traumatic divorce, JuJu remain absolute units, I can’t believe their skill points-

-and Daniel remains the best sim parent I’ve ever had, I can’t believe Victoria and Komei produced him. 

Then at other times, I can believe the Komei part.

I just want him to be happy instead of talking to his trees :(

-Ok, Jul, so we agree that Dad needs a serious relationship yesterday? -Absolutely, Jun, before we know it he’ll go from talking to the tree to marrying it. 

-Nana, we have a cunning plan to get Dad a girlfriend, I need you guys to help us make Lucy attractive to him!

-Aww how cute you are when you’re not SHITTING EVERYWHERE

-Lucy, I couldn’t help see you hugging Sisi! I didn’t know you were a cat person! -Beats those goddamn dogs at your brother and your wife’s place! I still can’t believe he dumped a star like Brittany, I mean she was in the Monty Farms Orange Soda commercial!  -It’s been not great talking to you.

After Daniel flops with Lucy, who passes by BUT TARA KAT. OMGGGGGG. PLEASE GET ALONG PLEASE GET ALONG IT’S TOO PERF

Dan greets her and the first thing she does is admire him, AWWW

-Let me just tell you, Daniel, it’s a true honor to meet you, you’re a legend in the Crazy Cat Lady community! 

Ya, that figures lol.

-NOW THAT’S SOME HOT AF CAT INTERACTION, TARA HAS IT GOING ON

We invited Tara over for a date the next day (after a much needed makeover) and things escalate..

..QUICKLY. I didn’t remember Tara is a family sim too, I thought she was knowledge, this is perf ♡

It’s JuJu’s birthday, which Melody shockingly attended, I legit thought she might not come-

-also in attendance, Sugar, with his face blurred out so we can do the big reveal of his teen face in the main house.

June is FUCKING ADORABLE. She looks so much like Melody from the front, but from the side..

..KOMEI NOSE. MY HEART

June celebrates her birthday by immediately kissing Sugar, who is.. her uncle Jojo’s grandson, so her cousin, once removed? If only we lived in the time period Sugar gets his clothes from, this would be fine, sorry Jun! 

Julian grows up right after and is also INSANELY ADORABLE. The first thing he does is hug June, I cannot, just like when they were bebes♡

-Huggle? -Huggle huggle!

With the kids about to leave for college, Daniel married Tara-

-and promptly knocked her up! I didn’t want more kids but I felt bad for Tara because having a married family aspiration sim with no kids is borderline cruel. And how did Tara repay me for my kindness??

BY HAVING..

..FUCKING TWINS. DANIEL WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR SPERM. Anyway, welcome to the world, Cleo and Cecilia aka CC!

Daniel finished his Journalism LTW and got this insane bonus:

63K. GOOD LORD, DANIEL

When he’s not raking in the cash, Daniel as always enjoys living in the nursery.

Big surprise, the spawn of Daniel and Tara Kat won’t leave the cats alone.

We legit have so many cats now with Tara’s added three that the lot was flashing pink and JuJu had to fuck off to college early, but they’ll be living with Sophito and Sugar in the UUU Greek house so we’ll see them again soon!

And Daniel grows up!

You did great, baby! We just need to get you some grey eyebrows pronto.

And he lived happily..

top 5 blorbos of all time, go

Thank u here i go!!!

Brian Moser (Dexter)

Absolute comfort character that makes me depressed if i think about him for more than 5 minutes 💕 (i may have misinterpreted the meaning of 'comfort character'). Nobody does it like him: tragic backstory, fucked up family dynamics, unapologetically evil but also intentionally portrayed as sympathetic, the perfect narrative foil for Dexter, narratively doomed and thee funniest bitch in the entire series... i'm gonna shut up now but i could go on. I am normal about him.

Hannibal Lecter (nbc hannibal)

Yes this show has a gorilla grip on my sanity since i watched it for the first time when i was like 16. Whatever the fuck was going on between him and Will literally dynamic of all time and the one that sparked my love for corruption arcs. Actually y'know what, they can share the second spot cause i realised, while writing this, that i can't pick a favorite bc i'm obsessed with them both equally.

Micolash (bloodborne)

I just think characters who forsake their humanity and/or sanity in the pursuit of knowledge are Neat. His last words when you defeat him haunt me. Affectionately shoving him into a locker <3

Patches (dark souls)

Listen at this point if you hate patches idk what to tell you. He's just a silly little guy. It's his birthday. Idk he's just so iconic in the way miyazaki keeps bringing him back against all logic, and i was soo happy to see him again in elden ring (you should know, you were there ❤). Anyway my favorite version is the ds3 one because, between his dynamic with greirat and the dlc quest, it's the one that gets the most character development imo. Lapp's quest, in particular, was an incredibly emotional moment for me and the perfect send-off to the series :')

Cersei Lannister (got/asoiaf)

Excuse HER atrocities defend HER war crimes hashtag feminism! They did her (and every other character) dirty in the show but i still cried when she died. I have very fond memories of watching the last season with a group of friends and being like. visibly devastated during that scene, while everyone looked at me like 🤨. Not everyone can have good taste ig. Also i still need to finish the books, but her pov chapters are the highlight of the series for me, she is literally insane <3

TPN - “Dreams Come True”

What better way to cheer up the TPN fandom after the second season’s final episode than with the special exhibition chapter finally being fully translated. I caught glimpses of a few pages here and there over the past couple months but seeing all the children live happily together in the human world in their own little village that they made close to Emma and Alex warms my heart. Of course I would’ve loved if we got to see more of the GP Resistance (because the anime denied us of them) but following the GF kids around the world as they experience their dreams is fair enough. We started the series alongside them so might as well finish strong with them too. I really loved seeing everyone grow up but no matter how old they get or how much time passes, I’ll probably never get used to seeing Emma without her iconic “63194.” It’s a bittersweet feeling for me, but her smiles bring me so much joy and I’m beyond happy that she accepted everyone into her life as they accepted her without her memories.

I haven’t a clue on how much time passed since everyone found Emma in ch181 to now, but seeing her call out everyone’s names is a little detail that I love so much considering she had no idea who anyone was at first. Trying to remember 60+ names doesn’t seem like an easy task to me. No doubt I was just as shocked as our girl upon learning these mere children bought a goddamn plane! We learn in a couple pages that it’s because of Norman’s company that they can afford it, but still, he’s like 15 or 16 now? He’s still a child! And I’m impressed! Not only at him, but that Oliver and Violet became pilots as well! It’s especially cute when you remember that Lucas gave Oliver a little toy plane during their time at Goldy Pond.

Speaking of GP, is it just me or does Emma’s current outfit resemble her GP one just a little bit? Sure we have no idea what color scheme this one has but come on, the short jacket, the dark shirt and jeans.. just imagine it! Jemima, Yvette, Alicia and Mark remade Gillian’s original GP outfit sometime before the Grace Field Raid arc (ch137 extra page) so I don’t doubt they could’ve done the same for Emma. Of course that’s just me being completely hopeful and missing the Goldy Pond arc to death but yeah! I’m also so happy to see Chris up and moving again! Seeing him wake up briefly in ch181 was nice but this is so much better. I imagine he and Emma have a lot to catch up on in terms of stories, with him being unconscious since ch105 and Emma not remembering anything.

But here we go, the original 15 escapees plus Norman, Phil, Sherry, I believe I saw Carol somewhere and a couple other random kiddos ready to see the entire world. They get to accomplish so much.. and in a single day too I believe? At least that’s what Phil and Alicia say a bit later about everyone’s wishes, but aahh what a lucky bunch. Hell, I’ll say we’re lucky readers too to be able to see such a great story. Can’t thank Shirai and Demizu enough y’all. I wish we got to see more of Alex though. He’s such a kind soul but I’m sure he’ll be just fine staying behind with everyone else.

This entire page where we learn about Norman as a CEO is gold. I still can’t believe this child successfully built up an entire multipurpose company not only to help their search for Emma but also because he didn’t want to live off the Ratri clan. I wish I knew about this last week when writing out Norman’s birthday post because hell yeah this deserves some praise! AND he managed to graduate school as well during all that! Well, by skipping grades which totally makes sense. I mean, if he managed to pass all the Grace Field and Lambda tests effortlessly I’m sure normal human world school was a piece of cake for him. Holy shit dude, keep on impressing me why don’t ya. Not only him but Nigel and Sonya too! I’m not surprised that Vincent helped out but I’m glad those two got a tiny moment to shine as well! Ray is another obvious choice when it comes to helping Norman, as they’re best friends and he’s always been good with machines.. but boy, I can’t take you seriously when you’re just sitting there unamused and eating chips! Hahah I love him so much! And the fact he replies to Norman’s idea with just a simple “kay” is an eternal mood.

Okay boys aside, can we talk about our fabulous girls now? Because oh my god, they’re so darn beautiful! They’re more fashionable than I’ll ever be and it’s so cute how they drag Emma along to take advantage of the 3-for-1 deal. But our girl pulls off that sporty look so well! (r.i.p. goldy pond outfit ver2.0). I’m not at all surprised that Nat wanted to go see the opera. That's perfect for him and I’d like to think the anime did something similar with that one shot we see of him in the human world. We don’t see him in a theater like this but to me it looks like he’s on the streets of Broadway? At least that’s the vibe I get from it. I’m sure there was something music related on one of those signs.

I can’t get over how adorable all the children look and how happy they are fulfilling their wishes, even if some of them aren’t as extravagant as others. Like eating a fluffy pancake and a ton of ice cream? We can do that whenever we want. But for these kids, it means everything and they absolutely deserve to experience such simple joys like that after all the harsh nonsense they’ve been through. I also love how Ray continues to be such a great older brother by still looking out for them too. The fact he remains completely unfazed by the haunted house is perfect. This boy has been haunted by his own nightmares and demons his entire life, there’s no way a couple of lousy jump scares are gonna spook him. Though I do find it funny that Alicia and Rossi still manage to get scared while Yvette is having the time of her life. I can’t help but laugh at Thoma’s “Shirai face” as well.

I find it interesting that out of all the different kinds of exhibits they could’ve shown us while Rossi visits a museum, they give us dinosaurs.. like that seems so silly to me. Y’all have seen several demons in your young lives already and yet dinosaurs manage to amaze you too? God these kids are precious. And then our boy Phil finally gets to see and ride a train! Just look how happy he is! The poor kid can’t even sit still he’s so darn excited and I can’t help but smile with him! Thankfully the anime showed us this too.

We eventually get to Ray’s wish and guys.. oh my fucking god. Tell me that this is not the absolute best and prettiest smile we get to see from him!! It honestly leaves me speechless okay? Ray never imagined he would ever get to see the outside world, let alone live past the age of 12, and yet here he is, seeing such a beautiful sight such as this, right in front of him instead of from inside a book. You can’t believe how happy and proud of him I am right now. Did you see how ecstatic I was when the anime kept Isabella alive? Multiply that feeling by ten and there ya go. That’s my level of happiness upon seeing my favorite boy smile like THAT! AAHHH!! That panel is gonna live rent free in my head until the end of time. I can’t get over how damn perfect it is. His smile is so pure and how he looks like he’s in complete awe is beautiful. He’s about to burst into tears and I swear I might do the same because I’m making myself emotional over this fantastic boy. Someone hold me.

No seriously, hold me because we’re about to get into some angst as we move onto to Emma’s wish. We all know that ever since 2039 her one dream was to ride a giraffe once they got outside, so here we are, about ten years later and the animals in question are within reach. Our girl should be totally excited, right? Ha, not quite.

That wish was something the old Emma wanted, but since demon god had to be such a bastard, this Emma doesn’t know what to think, let alone what to even feel. She hasn’t experienced the same hardships as her family. She hasn’t gone through hell and back while holding onto that one wish that would make all the suffering worth it. The amount of joy everyone else felt upon living out their dreams, she wonders if she would be able to feel it too.

They brought her here to make her happy, but is this truly want she wants as well? This is old Emma’s wish after all. What about her and what she wants? Could this wish make her just as happy as her old self? She knows her family is only trying to help, but seeing her doubt herself does a number on my heart. Even without her memories, she’s still the same Emma deep down, as she doesn’t want to disappoint her family. She spends so much time worrying about living up to her family’s expectations, to try and be that Emma they all love so dearly.

Little does she know that she acts the exact same as usual, almost as if nothing has changed when she finally expresses how much she wants to ride a giraffe. And that’s great considering when they first arrived at the giraffes, no on had even mentioned riding them. She came across that feeling all on her own and everyone else can’t help but laugh and feel relieved. Her mind may have forgotten but her heart remembers everything. There is no “old Emma” and “new Emma” to her family, just “Emma” and words can’t express how wholesome that is because they love her regardless. All that matters to them is Emma’s happiness because if anyone deserves to feel and experience that, it’s her.

I just made myself tear up, damn it. I started this series with season one okay? I heard about this precious girl’s dream within the first minute of the first episode and here I am, a little bit over two years later, finally reading about it coming true and seeing that bright as hell smile on her face. Do you know how amazing it is to come full circle like that? My heart feels so full right now. I’m beyond proud of her and love her to death. Say what you want but I believe this to be the true manga ending in my eyes.

(damn this series for always getting me emotional)

[seungs]

every month of 2021 🥳 / i was tagged by @hyeongjunz​ to post my favorite or most popular set from each month this year. carly your timing is great because i saw people do this and said yesterday i’ll do it w/out being tagged cause it seemed fun dlkfjh doing it here instead of my main cause i giffed here more anyway 😈

tagging: @hyunsung @seungminhos @1zone​ @jizung @huiracha & whomever wants to do this really

ok so i actually didn’t open this side blog until april21 so i’m skipping jan-march

april / my most popular set was this 210218 hyunjin vlive but no one is surprised because it also entered my most popular sets this year so! my favorite set this month though is this get cool hyunjin fancam 🥲 will forever be one of my favorite hyunjins... love it when he’s silly

may / my most popular set was this seungmin shin dux3 stage and i’m honestly still surprised it took off like that but #deserved. my favorite set this month is this jeongin compilation, even though i don’t like my old coloring anymore making this set and looking for clips was really fun that guy is naturally hilarious 😭

june / is an easy month cause i made a total of 3 sets SDLKHSDLK but my most popular is also my favorite and it’s seungmin in mixtape: oh, genuinely one of my favorites fr fr ��🧡

july / again my most popular this month is no surprise cause it also made it to my year in review and it’s hyunjin on skz song camp. my favorite set this month is actually also from skz song camp and it’s seungmin during their intro. just some dudes vibing playing guitar !! what’s not to love !!

august / most popular set pretends to be shocked (pt.3) is minho literally just sitting there. my funniest set to take off personally, but i also get it. absolute iconic moment in time my favorite set is the seungmin be responsible stage 🥲 he was the star of the show having the best time of his life !!!

september / aaand most popular set is minho in cheese mv because well... naturally it is dlkfjh (i get it pt.2). for my favorite this time is hard cause i actually made a few sets this month i really love but i would have to pick jisung’s birthday set and seungmin’s birthday set for obvious reasons 😞😞💗 those sets were actually the literal death of me but i’m really happy with how they turned out in the end 😌 shoutout to ghosties ex mv set and jeongin in cheese mv

[lukesperfectharmonyhair]

im rewatching jatp instead of studying for the 3 tests i have tomorrow and i thought i would share my thoughts and reactions with each episode so enjoy!!....

wake up

- hearing the “1, 2, 3″ at the start of the episode gives me more serotonin than my antidepressants ever will

- julie’s slippers...that’s it...that’s the thought

- that dry ass pasta the molina’s are eating for dinner??? someone needs to give my man ray some cooking tips or a cookbook... something

-the looks the boys give julie when she says it was an OLD cd she found. as if they could be old??

-the entire julie and luke kitchen scene i mean there are no words to describe how much i am in love with scene. the banter, the flirting, luke giving this girl he literally just met an actual PIECE OF HIS SOUL so she can get music back into her life. not a single time have i watched that scene and not felt my heart literally grow cause of how cute they are. 

-the entire scene when julie is singing wake up. that scene is what made me literally CRAVE watching the other episodes. like of course i was going to watch them cause i wasn’t gonna just stop watching a show after one episode, and yes the show was good already but seeing the lighting and her voice, and just everything about the scene,,,,*chef’s kiss* 

bright

-flynn drinking seven sodas....SEVEN??? i would be throwing up if i drank more than like 2 and she drank seven,,,no ma’am.

- flynn and her trumpet. talented queen

- “ i wouldn’t have given you the song if i didnt think you were gonna rock it.” lmaooo im crying:)

- i start tearing up every time julie goes to play the first notes of bright,,, and then i’m full on bawling when the guys come in and play with her cause...they weren’t playing to be seen they were playing to be there for her and play to comfort her. pls i love them<3

- nick vibing in the front row

- the tech guy deserves so much more praise

flying solo

- reggie’s little butt shake or whatever you wanna call it!!

- julie’s little laugh when she yells at the guys to stop it

- “and we’re on the runway again” GENUINELY one of my favorite lines of the whole show pls i love luke’s humor

-this is the first time i noticed this but reggie’s face after alex says “DONT TELL ME HOW TO GHOST!”

-WILLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU<3333333

-the slow mo helmet take off,,,,me too alex me too

-willie’s little giggles:))))

- “oh-oh!”

- “no clue” alex i love you baby<3

- next season better give us a scene of flynn throwing eggs at someone’s house because i think it’s safe to say we were robbed of that experience. 

- the flying solo performance is just amazing

i got the music

- just the whole opening scene is so cute ....the dancing, singing, happiness RADIATING from julie 

-nick in an all white suit and fedora

-WILLEX MUSEUM DATE YEAH BABYYYYY

- carefree skateboarder bf and anxiety ridden drummer bf

- yelling. in. museums. 

-alex thinking he’s literally dying again because of the salt... zero braincells in this band.

- another scene we were robbed of that i need to see in season 2...reggie singing “home is where my horse is” while alex and julie sit patiently and attentively listen to him but luke looks like he’s about to commit murder

- i get SO MUCH second hand embarrassment for julie when she looks through luke’s songbook and says “ wow luke I didn’t know you were such a romantic” julie baby i love you but...eekkkkk

- “he looks like a substitute teacher”- where did he come up with that like so many other things he could be compared to but a substitute teacher??

- “luke introduced you to rock” heck yeah it did.. literal soulmates

- would like to see a picture of the raccoon in Flynn’s backyard

- wee woo wee woo police sirens://///

- julie’s outfit ughhhh i love it

- the poster that im pretty sure says “sexiest role” behind caleb... why was that necessary 

the other side of hollywood

- THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE OF THE OTHER SIDE OF HOLLYWOOD

-nick just came to watch the girl he likes perform not watch her flirt with a hologram plssss can we give this man a break next season.

- “no music is worth making, julie, if we’re not making it with you,” I JUST SCREAMED AND IM PRETTY SURE I WOKE UP MY ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD...whoops

- going back to that line i could say so much about it but....for someone who’s life was literally MUSIC for the 17 years he was alive, and after finding out he could play music again even though he was dead and saying it made him feel alive, he would give that up- he would give up playing his guitar, playing in a band with his friends, give up writing and singing music- if he wasn’t doing that with julie. that’s more than saying i love you,,,that’s literally like saying i’d give up my ENTIRE LIFE and what i love to do if i dont get to do it with you

- i just made myself cry with that description...wow

-the hug<3

-also imagine how luke felt in that moment,,, hearing this girl, once again that he would give his life up for, saying in his ear that she loves them. i would motherfucking glow too, luke

- *passionately but gently holds each others faces*

-HANDS OFF MY BABY NICK, CALEB

- caleb’s outfit is....something

- the head turn plssss

this was so long and i am so sorry but if you read this far.....leave some of your own reactions or thoughts:)))

my birthday message for her: thank you for not only being a good mutual and total icon for the bnha tumblr community you are one of my greatest friends and i think i could never have express how thankful i am to know you :") to be your friend is a privilege and i thank you for putting up with me 🤧💕

synopsis: bakugou has been so busy with trying to figure out how to start his own agency after you guys graduated and that was all he had on his mind. so after you get forced to hang out with your best friend on your birthday you knew that he had long forgotten your special day.

bakugou katsuki x !fem! reader  

(i made this gif :”))

~~~

“Y/NNN let’s go somewhere you lucky birthday gal!!” mina’s loud voice rung out in your house. after the graduation you just felt kind of empty, school was over and a new chapter in your lives. mina was hanging out in your room on your birthday, she came early in the morning to deliver you a box of cupcakes and your birthday present. “i would love to mina but.. i was planing to visit katsuki..” you held your head down low in disappointment and you checked your phone for the tenth time in the given hour.

mina internally panicked. it was her job to keep you occupied as katsuki was at his house getting things ready with the rest of the bakusquad, she needed to get her whole act together but she needed to make it seem natural, "you know your boyfriend is literally an old man in a teen body, he barely has his phone on."

a wave of disappointment fell over you. 'she does have a point. and besides katsuki hates birthdays anyways.' you sadly smiled and asked mina if the two of you could go to a specific grocery store to pick up a specific type of popsicle. "WAIT THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS BOBA BARS?!" mina screamed out.

"yeah! i mean.. todoroki said something about there being boba bars a while ago and i thought tat you would be one of the people that would try it out with me." your mouth practically had a bucket of drool with how much you wanted the popsicle. "can we open the box once we get one?" mina asked as she skipped alongside you. you were happy that throughout all three years at U.A she was there to be a shining light of positivity. your head nodded at her request.

meanwhile

"I TOLD YOU GUYS TO GET OUT OF THE DAMN KITCHEN," bakugou screamed in pure anger as he was trying his hardest to concentrate. "bakubro calm down a bit, knowing mina she can probably find a way to distract your lovely girl friend for a while." denki assured the angry alpha male in the kitchen.

he wasn't under the pressure of time. he was more angry at the fact that he had three imbeciles helping him for y/n's special day. "I KNOW PINKY IS VERY CAPABLE UNLIKE A CERTAIN DUNCE." the aggressive blond continued to stir the living daylights out of the whipping cream he bought for the icing. the three other boys were there to help with the decoration of his house. "damn who knew bakugou was such a simp for his girl-" sero whispered but the moons the mutters the words 'his girl' his face was met by a wooden spoon.

"guys don't make fun of him. this is a day about her not a day about him being doting for her so calm down." kiri places his hand on his heart as he was about preach about 'how manly' his best friend was for doing this for his girlfriend. in full honesty bakugou never really celebrated birthdays. he was always with his parents on that day and refused to see anyone else but the moment he had you his whole life changed so he wanted you to be happy on your day.

mina went on and on about her old dance performances, even breaking out into dance when she wanted to show you how the dance went. "you seem pretty cheerful today mina~ what's up with that?" you were growing a little suspicious since on the way to the market she wanted to film around 3 tik toks and they all were posted privately, "nothing i just really like hanging out with you." her arm was hooked around your shoulders and she ruffled your hair.

"alrighty mina. operation boba bars shall now commence." you clapped your hands as the two of you dashed towards the frozen isle. you scanned for a black little box that had the bars that you needed, while mina was on the other side texting bakugou asking how much longer did she need to stall for the boys to get ready. 'calm down i just need thirty more minutes racoon eyes.'

mina got the message as she put her phone in her back pocket and started her search for the popsicles. 'if it takes ten minutes to get to bakugou's place from here and approximately 5 minutes until the bars melt with this type of weather, i will opt to eat half of the box so the boys can have the time they need.' and as if it was magic mina found the box and she grabbed it and went to the other isle to find you.

"y/n!! i got the.. bars." you were looking at a group of first years getting together. the nostalgia felt surreal to you. "y/n.. are you okay?" mina tilted her head to see your face more clearly, you were crying. "sorry it's just.. ever since graduated our lives are now beginning, we are moving so quickly and i don't even know where to start.. i just remember how much time has gone by.." you wiped your tears to show a smile. "but i know one thing is for sure! is that i want you, bakugou and the rest of our friends to stay friends for the rest of our lives."

you felt sad but you knew you had to let go from being seventeen and jumping onto eighteen. "alrighty princess let's get your crown back on your head. we are going to eat these and then we are going to barge into bakugou's place and yell at him." the classic mina smile made your solemn feelings melt away and you nodded. "and as your ultimate bestie i will have he obligation to pay for you."

after the two of you payed you opened the box to have the popsicles. it was a hot day after all, so the two of you started to head to the bakugou household. "okay but like why do these absolutely SLAP." you laughed as you enjoyed the cold treat. "todoroki knows what's up-" you laughed out and you smiled thinking about how far todoroki went from being the most awkward boy in the class to on of the most easiest people to talk to.

the two went on and on about how good the popsicle was and recorded each other for your snapchat memories.

the moment that you got to your boyfriends house struck some true terror in you. "alright here it goes.." you walked up the pavement with mina at your side and you knocked on the door only to see it open as if it weren't locked.

you were confused and walked in. "katsu? where are you the door was open.." your head was filled with the worst case scenarios. as you walked into the house even further the lights were turned on and you heard a loud 'surprise'. you saw not only the rest of the bakusquad but the rest of your friends from your graduating class of 3-A. "guys.." you brought your hands to your face to wipe the tears off of your eyes.

you saw bakugou in the middle with a cake that had an elegant icing job.

"you thought we forgot? bold of you to assume the the great bakugou could ever forget his princess' birthday." he held the cake in front of him as he took large strides towards you. "i wouldn't miss this for the world."

he urged you to blow the candles out so you could hang out with the rest of your friends before you got to open your gifts. you got greeted and you talked about random topics with the people you haven't seen since graduation; deku and uraraka were getting married, todoroki went to europe, jirou got scouted by numerous agency's and so much more.

by the time the party died down and the presents were exchanged bakugou came up to you and wrapped his arms around you. "happy birthday love.. i have something for you." he pulled you outside to gain a little more privacy. "i know we have been through so much and that our lives are beginning to change before our eyes. i know we aren't going to be friends with everyone in the class once we begin our careers but.." he pulled out a lanyard with a key on it. "i will never let you go y/n. and i swear by that. so could you do me the honour and move in with me in my new apartment?"

you couldn't believe it, you could finally live with bakugou and actually have free reign of the place. "i wouldn't have it any other way mr. boom boom man." you smiled as you pulled him in for an kiss.

a/n - check out the other 3 installments of the song series too! this piece is kind of out of the blue because I actually started it and finished it today which is extremely rare for me but I actually really like how it turned out. hope you guys do too. :) (def listen to this song -- its amazing). (btw this isnt the calum fic i was referencing in one of my previous posts, that one is still in the works.)

Betty, I won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom, but I think it's 'cause of me.

Calum sat in the back row, staring at Missy Grenshaw’s head feeling the hole in his chest grow larger. He glanced at your empty seat and frowned, his eyebrows scrunched together. 

He heard Mrs. Martin start attendance and when she skipped over your name, the hole grew impossibly larger. 

Calum tried to convince himself you switched because Mrs. Martin was a hard grader, but he knew that wasn’t the real reason.

He knew it was because you couldn’t stand to see his face. 

Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard when I passed your house. It's like I couldn't breathe.

Calum listened to the sound of a distant lawn mower and the rustling leaves and inhaled the smell of someone barbecuing in their backyard, trying to calm himself. He almost turned around and went home, his stomach grumbling at the idea of dinner waiting for him on the dining room table, but he didn’t. 

He was only a block away from your house now. He pretended like he was riding down your street because it had the smoothest road, but Calum couldn’t lie to himself. Just knowing your room was in that house and knowing you might be sitting on your bed was enough to draw Calum near. 

He didn’t let himself stop in front of the brick fronted modest house, but he wanted to. His legs ached as he kept pushing. He secretly hoped the sound of his wheels would draw you to the window. He held his breath in anticipation, but nothing. Not even a subtle shift in the curtains. 

You heard the rumors from Inez. You can't believe a word she says most times, but this time it was true. The worst thing that I ever did was what I did to you.

“(Y/n)!” A familiar voice chirped from behind you. You turned on your heel to face your friend, Inez. She was your source of gossip always, even if it was almost always speculation and barely ever accurate. 

You weren’t expecting her sad features -- it alarmed you. “Are you alright, Inez? What happened?” You linked arms with her as you continued forward, heading for first period.

She nodded softly. “You aren’t going to want to hear this, (y/n).”

But if I just showed up at your party, would you have me? Would you want me? Would you tell me to go fuck myself or lead me to the garden? In the garden would you trust me if I told you it was just a summer thing? I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything but I know I miss you.

Calum tossed the tennis ball up and caught it. He laid on his bed, absentmindedly continuing to toss the ball up and down, his mind plagued with thoughts about you.

Your birthday was a week away. Calum let his mind wander off in endless possibilities. 

He knew how much he had hurt you and the guilt ate at him constantly. A day didn’t go by that he didn’t beat himself up for being so stupid. 

Nothing was worth more to him than your happiness and he knew that now. He would do anything in his power to fix what he broke, if you’d let him.

He wondered how you would react if he showed up on your doorstep that evening, a bundle of flowers in hand and an apologetic smile on his face. 

He wondered if you’d slam the door in his face and ignore his knocks and desperate pleas. 

Or if you’d hesitantly let him come inside, your guard up, and lead him to the garden to talk alone. If you’d let him ramble on about how stupid he was. About how badly he messed up.

About how much he fucking missed you. 

Your soft smile and your positive, bright disposition and your generosity and selflessness. The way your eyes squinted when you laughed and the way your hair smelled. 

Calum really fucking missed you.

But he knew he didn’t really deserve a second chance. And he was asking a lot begging for one. But he thought he at least had to try.

Or this mistake would haunt him for the rest of his life. 

Betty, I know where it all went wrong, your favorite song was playing from the far side of the gym. I was nowhere to be found, I hate the crowds, you know that. Plus, I saw you dance with him.

Calum walked into the school alongside you, your hand in his and a bright smile on your face. You loved dances and seeing all your friends dressed up -- Calum felt claustrophobic, but he would do anything to keep that smile on your face, so he tagged along anyway.

Immediately, you tugged him towards the dance floor and he followed hesitantly. After only a few moments on the dance floor, Calum excused himself to the sidelines. He watched your expression fall, but you understood. You would never pressure him into anything he was uncomfortable with.

Calum felt like he could finally breathe properly from the edges of the gym.

He watched solemnly as the DJ began to play your favorite song. Your features lit up and Calum couldn’t help but smile, too. He wished he could go in there and dance with you but just the thought of being squished in between so many people made his pulse speed up and his palms sweaty.

He watched Dean approach you, clearly nervous, and his hands turned to fists. Calum had half a mind to go over there and punch him square in the face. 

Calum knew he couldn’t do that, but he had fun imagining it.

Dean grabbed your waist, pulling you close, and Calum’s heart practically stopped.

He couldn’t take anymore, so with one last glance at your soft smile, Calum stalked off in an angry blur.

Calum knew if he had just asked, you would’ve reassured him it was only a dance.

Calum knew if he had just asked, everything wouldn’t have gone the way it did. 

I was walking home on broken cobblestones just thinking of you when she pulled up like a figment of my worst intentions. She said "James, get in, let's drive,” those days turned into nights. Slept next to her but I dreamt of you all summer long.

The sun beat down on Calum’s back and he couldn’t wait to get home. He’d run out of water long ago, riding his skateboard in the early summer heat. 

He stumbled home, skipping happily over cracks in the concrete, skateboard in hand. 

He thought about seeing you after dinner. Taking you to your favorite tree and watching the stars. Or… looking at you while you looked at the stars. He thought about the way you danced with Dean. He still hadn’t told you how much it bothered him so he just let the resentment boil up until it stung the back of his throat.

Calum heard tires screech next to him, a familiar face in the driver's seat. Her red lipstick shimmered in the direct sunlight. Her sunglasses reflected Calum’s awestruck face. 

“Calum, get in. Lets drive,” She said. Her lips quirked up into an inviting smile and Calum swayed hesitantly. “Aw, come on. I’ll drive you home.” 

Calum looked around at the neighborhood once more, checking for witnesses, and then finally climbed into the silver convertible. As soon as he got in, his heart fluttered with guilt. His eyes filled with images of you, hurting, and he almost got out. Almost.

There was Dean again, haunting Calum through memories, smiling down at you, holding you. Calum gripped his skateboard harder, his knuckles growing white.

Her voice was so inviting and her car smelled so nice. The air conditioning hit Calum’s warm skin and soothed it instantly. Calum stayed. 

Calum didn’t just stay, though. He could’ve forgiven himself for that. 

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep and I planned it out for weeks now but It's finally sinking in. Betty, right now is the last time I can dream about what happens when you see my face again. The only thing I wanna do is make it up to you. 

Calum tossed and turned in his sleep, getting more and more frustrated with the nerves. He would face you tomorrow. It would determine the outcome of everything he had been wondering and worrying about for weeks. 

Tomorrow meant everything. He had one last night to drift into dreams about how you might react. The forgiveness or resentment. The smile or the tears. The hug or the shove. 

He drifted to sleep with images of you playing in his mind. In your favorite sweater, his hand in yours. 

Calum hoped with everything in him that you could see past his stupid mistake. But he prepared himself for the worst. You didn’t owe him anything. 

So, I showed up at your party. Yeah, I showed up at your party. Yeah, I showed up at your party. Will you have me? Will you love me? Will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends? If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it? Will it patch your broken wings? I'm only seventeen. I don't know anything, but I know I miss you.

Calum straightened out his button down and shifted the flowers, watching a few stray petals fall loose and hit the pavement of your porch. He cleared his throat and listened anxiously while his heart pounded ferociously in his ear. 

He could faintly hear commotion from within the confines of your home but he couldn’t make out anything they were saying.

His shaky hand extended towards the dark wood door and he knocked twice.

Cars were parked a block or two down the street -- all of your friends had already arrived.

Calum could lie and say he meant to be the last person, but in reality, he sat in his car for 30 minutes gathering up the nerve to come over there.

He could see multicolored balloons lining the walls inside. He watched as a figure appeared through the window, the tint making the figure only a silhouette. 

The door began to open and Calum thought for a moment about running, but it was too late. Before he knew it, he was face to face with you again. For the first time in 2 months, you were looking at him and he was looking at you.

He watched as confusion and shock filled your eyes, and then disappeared, filling with pure curiosity. He didn’t notice any anger yet. 

“Calum?” Your voice was like sugar. Calum’s knees felt weak.

“Yeah, hi (y/n).” Calum coughed. “Happy birthday.”

There were a million things Calum wanted to say and that wasn’t necessarily at the top of his list. He mentally face palmed. Your eyebrows knit together. “Thank you?” You looked down at the bouquet of flowers in his hand. “Are those for me?” 

Calum looked down at the flower he almost forgot he was holding, too lost in your eyes to care about anything else. “Oh, yes. Yeah.” He stumbled, holding them out to you.

You took them without a word. 

“So um…” Calum started, wringing out his sweaty hands. “I was hoping I could talk to you for a minute.”

You turned around for a moment towards the chatter coming from the kitchen and then turned back to face him with a sigh. “Why should I say yes?” You didn’t look angry… just tired. 

Calum scratched the back of his neck anxiously. “You don’t owe me anything, I know that. I was hoping to apologize, if you’d let me. I know that I’m the biggest idiot on the planet and I broke your heart and there's no way I can go back and undo that, but I owe it to you to at least try to fix what I broke. You don’t have to let me, though. I wouldn’t be mad if you cursed me out or slapped me or slammed the door in my face. I deserve it. I hurt you, and I suck for that.” He took a deep breath staring at the ground.

Your eyes softened and you sighed. “Come on.” You grabbed Calum’s hand and tugged him into the house, shutting the door softly behind him.

Calum followed your lead as you stepped through the back door into the garden.

You’d planted more of the flowers you told him about months ago and Calum thought your vision was really coming to life. You pulled him to a small metal table in the corner and sat down.

Calum looked around again, taking in all you’d accomplished since you two last spoke. “It looks beautiful, (y/n).”

You sighed, proudly admiring the shrubs and greenery that surrounded you. “I needed something to take my mind off things so I kind of poured my soul into it.” You fiddled with your rings.

Calum knew he was what you needed to take your mind off of and that made him feel even worse. “What I did to you… it was unforgivable. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done. I betrayed your trust and I hurt you in the worst way imaginable. That girl… it was nothing. It meant nothing.”

Calum watched you carefully as you took this in. Again, you didn’t look angry or sad — just emotionally drained. Numb. “I just… I guess I kinda just wanna know why. Was I… was I not enough?” Calum watched the tears well up that threatened to spill over and down your rosy cheeks.

He shook his head instantly. “No, no. Of course not. I spent a lot of time thinking about it because at first I didn’t even know. But I think I was just… jealous.”

You scoffed. “Jealous?” Calum blushed. “But of who?”

Calum inhaled deeply, prepared to completely embarrass himself. If it meant getting back on good terms with you. “Dean,” he muttered.

You couldn’t help but laugh. And not just chuckle — really laugh. “Dean? Dean Marshall. You were jealous of Dean Marshall?” You put a hand over your mouth to stifle the laughter. It felt nice to laugh after so many weeks of pain. 

Calum rolled his eyes playfully. “Yes, Dean Marshall. When he danced with you at the formal I was pissed.”

You stopped laughing, seeing the hurt in Calum’s soft features.

“You didn’t really think I was interested in him?... Did you?” You asked.

Calum looked down, playing with a loose thread on his trousers.

You let out a heavy sigh. “Oh, Cal. I never had any feelings for Dean.”

“Deep down, I did know that. It was some petty revenge thing in my head. I should’ve just voiced my pain and I know you would’ve reassured me. I was so dumb. I’ve never regretted anything so much in my life.” Calum finished with an exasperated breath and you smiled at his passion.

“Do you want to come in for cake, Cal?” 

Calum’s eyes shot up to read your face. You couldn’t be serious. You laughed at his eagerness and joy. “I would love to come in for cake,” Calum said easily.

You grabbed his hand, guiding him towards the back door and inside.

You ignored the series of gasps from your unsuspecting friends and found Calum a seat around the table. Nobody asked questions. They just smiled. If you were happy and safe, then they were happy too.

After some time, the sun was nearing the horizon and friends were bidding their goodbyes.

Calum hadn’t taken his eyes off you all night.

Your stomach tingled in anticipation whenever you caught his gaze.

Calum got a text from his mom saying she needed him home, so he begrudgingly headed for the door, his hand in yours.

“Happy birthday, again,” he whispered in your ear. 

“Thank you for coming today. It must’ve taken a lot of guts.” You laughed at Calum’s expression.

“You have no idea. But I'm so glad I did it.” He looked down at you fondly and you felt as if your knees might give out.

Before you could stop and think about the consequences, you were leaning closer and so was he.

Your noses barely brushed and the air around you was heating. It felt like everything between you two was leading up to this very moment — this very kiss. 

He stooped down a little lower, pressing his lips gently onto yours. You felt a rush of emotions. You had missed him all this time. You felt ready to try again - slowly building a mutual trust between you two again.

His lips folded over yours at a steady pace. It was soft and not rushed. It was perfect.

When he pulled away, your lips tingled at the absence of his. 

You were startled by the sudden applause.

You friends had gathered in the hall and watched the entire thing. You hid your face in Calum’s shoulder.

Standing in your cardigan. Kissing in my car again. Stopped at a streetlight, you know I miss you.

You slipped into Calum’s car and he smiled fondly. He hadn’t been this happy in so long.

You grabbed his sweater -- the one that had once been yours -- and felt it between your fingers. “You still have this old thing?” 

He smiled, his cheeks glowing a faint pink. He looked adorable with his curls tumbling down across his forehead. “It smells like you.”

You planted a gentle kiss on his cheek.

He had missed you. But he didn’t have to anymore.
