42."well shit" for Asheiji? or any ship you're feeling like OWO (and omg congrats you're already on your third au omg >o<!!)

“Well shit,” Eiji says.

“Yeah?” Ash asks, appearing out of nowhere. “That doesn’t sound good.”

Eiji sticks his tongue out. “Wow, me saying ‘well shit’ isn’t a good thing? Your powers of observation are truly admirable.”

“What’s wrong?” Ash grins, and Eiji scrunches up his nose.

“Nothing I can tell you about.”

That seems to startle Ash. “Wait—Really? Why not?”

“I can’t tell you that either.”

“Okay ... Can you tell me why you can’t tell me that you can’t tell me?”

Eiji blinks. “What does that even mean?”

Ash smiles, but it’s not the same as his grin only moments ago. Too unsure. “What can you tell me?”

“Hm.” Eiji bites at his lip. “Not much.”

“... Why not?”

Exasperated, Eiji huffs out a breath. “I thought we established that I cannot tell you that.”

“Sorry,” Ash says, smile dropping from his face entirely. “I didn’t mean to push you.”

Eiji notices Ash’s mood dropping rapidly, which was also not the plan. He smiles, trying to break through the protective haze that Ash so quickly put up. “You did not push me, Ash. Don’t worry.”

Eiji watches as Ash seems to process that information. “I just ... get worried,” Ash says. “When you’re hiding things. That something’s wrong. That—that I did something wrong, or that you can’t tell me because you don’t trust me, or—”

“Ash, no!” Eiji says quickly. “It’s nothing like that. This is just ... a secret.”

“A secret?” Ash asks, tilting his head. He’s so cute like that—like an intrigued housecat.

“Well ... a surprise,” Eiji amends. “And it’s not going as planned.”

Ash’s eyes widen. “Oh! Oh.”

Eiji pouts. “You figured it out?”

“Well—not entirely. But I have a surprise for you too, soon.”

Eiji groans. “You were not supposed to remember!”

Ash’s mouth drops open, and he looks incredibly offended. “Hey, what the fuck? How could I forget? I’m the one who picked the date.”

“Hmph. Yes, but you never keep track of what day it is. Remember the time you forgot your birthday?”

“But this is important.”

Eiji gasps. “And your birthday isn’t?”

“Not compared to this!”

“Fine. So we both have a secret.”

Ash nods. “Three days.”

“Three days.”

Three days later, the animal shelter is still closed for remodeling, and Eiji isn’t able to bring Ash to adopt a cat like he planned. But Ash takes Eiji out to dinner and a photography exhibition, and introduces Eiji to someone interested in his work. On the way back, Eiji hears a high pitched whine from a nearby dumpster. They take the puppy home and name him Buddy.

So while it doesn’t all quite go according to plan, it’s still the best first anniversary that Eiji could ask for.

Sentence starters!

Only you're interested!! i want to request 3.“Did you seriously just get your foot stuck in a toilet?” “Maybe.” from the random part of the prompt list, cause-- WTH EVEN LOL HOW DO YOU GET A FOOT STUCK IN THE TOILET ALKDJSLDK--

Ash brings a hand to his face, shaking his head as he holds the phone to his ear with his other hand. “Wanna repeat that for me?” he asks.

“You know what I said!” Shorter snaps.

“So you ... I mean, did you seriously just get your foot stuck in a toilet?”

“Maybe.”

“That’s what you just fucking told me, isn’t it?”

“Okay, listen here, smartass—”

Ash blows out a breath directly into the phone microphone, internally hoping it hurts Shorter’s ear.

“And how exactly did you get your foot stuck in the toilet?”

“There was a spider, okay, man?”

“Shorter. You absolute fucking dumbass. You’re not afraid of spiders.”

“No, dipshit, I was trying to get the spider.”

Ash starts pacing the room. Shorter probably thinks he’s already on his way. “And you got your foot stuck in the toilet.”

“Yes. And then I got my goddamn motherfucking foot stuck in the goddamn motherfucking toilet, okay?”

“I’m still missing the how here, Shorter!”

“It was up on the ceiling! So I was trying to stand on the toilet to get to it.”

“... And you didn’t think to close the lid first?”

Shorter scoffs. “Who am I, Eiji? I’m not putting the toilet seat down.”

“You didn’t—Shorter. Not only did you not put the toilet lid down. You didn’t even put the seat down? You tried to—what, fucking balance on that shit?”

“Yes! That’s how I got my foot stuck in the toilet! And then it got stuck at this weird fucking angle and it hurts when I try to pull it out. We’ve established this now, haven’t we? Come fucking help me!”

Ash sits down on the couch. “Yeah, yeah, I’m on my way. So why was I the one you called?”

“You think I’m gonna call Nadia or Eiji with this shit? Or lose my rep to my entire fucking gang? Come on, man, you’re the only one I can count on for this.”

“Right, right. Like I said, I’m on my way.” Ash brings an ankle up to rest on his knee, leaning back on the couch. He mutes the phone mic for a second.

“Eiji!” Ash calls. Eiji appears from the other room.

“Yes, love?”

“Listen to this for a second, but pretend you’re not in the room.” Ash unmutes the phone. “Okay Shorter, so tell me one more time what happened?”

Prompt list!

I think I'm late for this,,,aaaaaaaaa,,, Also I couldn't decide between the three so please pick one lolol : Begonia, Aster, Lavender!!!

No worries, there was no deadline! 💖 Also I'd be happy to answer all three!

Begonia: Favorite color?

Gray! I like the reminder that not everything is in absolutes.

Aster: What’s one of your favorite quotes?

Hmm ... Maybe: "I said, 'What keeps you going? What keeps you waking up?' She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says, 'You know, it's not so tough. 'Cause if there's one thing in life that I've learned so far, it's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are. And you can bend a little farther, or you can stay just how you are; just how you are.' " It's from the song Who You Are by Paradise Fears!

Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

This is a really hard question. Maybe my willingness to help other people?

Flower asks!
