“I’m not.” Ekira retorts, heat rising to their cheeks. Or at least, they weren’t trying to— not involuntarily. When Miranda had initially approached them, they hadn’t expected anything out of the ordinary— just a conversation between friends— but from Miranda’s tone of voice, this was clearly going somewhere very very different.

“I—I was only tryin’ to… to…” they trail off, instead silencing their trail of thought by shoving their thumb in their mouth.

{!!} – Brian looked up from his desk and the documents he was managing with a sense of bewilderment consequent to the frankly wild overstatement of his apparently ‘breath-taking’ facial hair. Did he just call him ‘bro’...? Brian had been called many a-thing in his time; tedious, anal-retentive, obsessive-compulsive, but he was fairly certain that in all of his forty-something years, ‘bro’ had never been one of the natural epithets he'd inspired. 

The American colloquial term was a strange and scarcely used equivalent of the more widely-used British term ‘mate’, and to be honest, it made Brian feel a little bit out of his depth with the young man that was speaking to him at that moment in time. Giving rise to sudden middle-aged panic, Brian responded typically nevertheless, smiling politely albeit a little bit awkwardly. ❝Oh…right. Thank you.❞ Suddenly, he was struck with a subtle unease upon the memory of a similar encounter he had shared with the caretaker of one of the local schools, grateful that the boy standing opposite him didn’t appear to be, as far as he could tell, absolutely bat-shit fucking crazy like his similarly ‘stache-enthusiastic predecessor.

The financial advisor stood up from behind his desk, maintaining a strained sort-of smile as he glanced behind the unexpected client through the open doorway and into the hall, wondering if his secretary had even seen the lad come in. ❝I’m terribly sorry, did…did you have an appointment? It’s just that I wasn’t expecting any new clients until ten-thirty. Or is there something else that I can help you with?❞

❛ you, my friend, are welcome. it is truly glorious. ❜

he clutches the lapels of his faithful beat-up coat with purpose. and no, he doesn't need or w a n t a new one, in spite of his dad's derisive comments and pointed looks or his mom's gentle alternate suggestions. it's distressed, you see. a fashion statement. it's not perfect, it's not shiny or new...

and he kind of likes that.

it's the same one he's had for years now, the one that mom had urged him to get, because he'd look so handsome and so cool in it. like some singer, like a s o m e b o d y, off an album cover or something.

he surveys his surroundings with a comfortable curiosity, very much at ease despite the unfamiliar professional environment he's found himself in today. after all, he is a man (well, maybe not quite a man... yet!) on a mission.

❛ i'm sorta a walk-in guy... a free spirit, if you will. is that cool? i can totally wait around, too, if not. i've got, like, a million and ten games on this bad boy right here. ❜

it's the latest iPhone. of course. bought and paid for by the Bank of Mother and (begrudgingly) Father. not that he deserves it. but, they wouldn't see their darling son go without, would they? i mean, what would the other students think? although dad might...

his stomach twists suddenly as he's hit with a surge of guilt. dad has never really looked at him the same since. not since he almost single-handedly destroyed their perfect little family. father and son spend even less time together now than they did before, if that's possible.

in short, he fucked up. this time, on a monumental scale.

but it was nothing that being shipped off to boarding school wouldn't fix. right? some confidence-shattering teachers and light bullying would help him build character. besides, he would ironically find some of the best company and people amongst other 'troubled youths'. he would b e l o n g there.

now, though, he would be the perfect, model son. the kind that doesn't fuck everything or a n y t h i n g up. he owes it to them.

❛ right now, i'm totally hooked on Scrabble. but you can't beat the classics; i'm a Subway Surfers kind of guy myself. you know? ❜

[verflares]

say, what do you think ever happened to that boy from the forest? you think he ever found what he was looking for?

sorry if this is bothersome but i just absolutely adore how u draw Cassie TToTT

I honestly adore drawing her!!

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.

she says he won't let her get a dog, which is fine, because they're in an apartment, and that's the kind of thing people say about their partners. he won't let me get a dog. and you're at a dinner party and you tilt your head a little to the side just like that dog he won't let her get, because is this the thing that's going to upset you? you don't know every corner of their relationship, she could be joking, they could have had so many healthy conversations about the dog, right, and maybe she's not letting herself get the dog because of money and time and whatever. but, like, she did say let

and she wants to move away from his hometown and he wants to stay and then he tells you with a wink and a conspiratorial stage whisper don't worry i'll convince her and she laughs about it - so clearly this is something they laugh about. but you do just stand there and stare at him like what the fuck, man. you can't say what you want to say which is why do you get the final say on everything because they're both obviously aware of the other person's stance on this and have obviously had private conversations about it and what are you going to do about it except make a scene and then he'll be mad at you and call you one of those bitches behind your back and she'll cut you off, which is a loss that doesn't feel worth it just because he makes you a little skeeved out every 3rd comment

and they both agree he just isn't the type to get flowers which is fine because everyone shows love differently, and are you really gonna judge someone based on their sense of individual relationship responsibility? maybe he's constantly cleaning her car and writing her poems and making her furniture or something. maybe she doesn't even like flowers and this is perfect, actually. and no you couldn't date him, obviously, ew; but like, she tells you she's happy. you almost send her a tiktok that says don't be 25 and the cool girl that doesn't need anything, you'll hate not getting flowers at 30, but that's like, starting drama & you shouldn't start drama needlessly.

and you're a little older than her but not so much older you can pull the whole trust me on this one babe thing and besides that wouldn't have worked anyway (when does it ever) and besides you have trauma so you and your therapist both agree that you're always looking for a problem even when there isn't one. and you tell yourself that just because you see them for 15 minutes every month does not mean you can identify every single red flag based on a single shitty half-joking(?) comment

and besides, what are you going to do? she says i actually wanted another stand mixer but thankfully he stops me when i'm about to spend too much money and you're standing there like are you okay? is this normal? is this just something people say? and again - what are you going to do?

to your therapist you try to language it - it's not, like, any of my business. but sometimes, doesn't it feel like - you should do something. there's got to be something, right? you've tried dropping little hints but they sail right through and you've tried having a single serious conversation and she got upset because why does it matter to you, yes it's different but we're happy, it doesn't need to make sense to you and you're like. really unwilling to push a boundary about it anymore; because the truth is that you know logically it shouldn't matter to you, as long as both parties are happy.

and besides, you've been wrong before. it's just... like, every time you see them both, something else happens, some kind of shiver down your spine like do you even hear each other when you talk. it's their strange, bickering orbit. just the way he's on his phone through dinner or watching sports instead of helping in the kitchen or, fuck, another one of these little throwaway comments he makes about we'll see about that, babe. she laughs when he calls her passions stupid shit and meanwhile she gets him tickets to see the knicks and he tells you well at least she's smart about something and still! it's none of your business.

you say get the dog anyway and she laughs. like, this is is you being funny. and not you saying - no really. get the dog. get the dog and get out of here. pack up and start running.
