#like CMON the dark lighting? her blowing off their date?

[emloafs]

if there’s no yasmine x demetri haters then i’m dead fr. because what the fuck. she never apologized and she’s still the same old mean girl except now nobody takes her seriously anymore. except demetri of course.

and if at least it was a nice relationship then okay, but then they mention in s5 that they’ve broken up several times and then in s6 she says she doesn’t date losers WTF ARE U DOING W DEMETRI THEN.😭 only like them together in the headcannon that they’re dating to hide that he’s in love w eli and she’s in love w moon

i actually think that the s3 scene where she signs his cast is really well done, and i'd be more forgiving if we got more growth and development as a result of that scene

but instead we got her making out with demetri and then saying ew i'd never date this freak... which is damaging of course

it's definitely toxic and it makes no sense that the writers have kept it in the show

and it makes even LESS sense that demetris motivation for the sekai taikai is because his girlfriend wants him to not be a loser ? like i get that she wants him to believe in himself but i was like ????? why word it like that?

in my canon, they are beards <3

A/N! i did not reread or fix anything in here, so im so sorry abt bad grammar or spelling errors or smth. inspired by jj (@prettysetterbaby) and her answer to what her dream date is, say thank you jj

"spending my day up at a beach house, eating out to some nice sushi or something and spending the day shopping and eventually relaxing on the beach <333" — JJ

likes and reblogs are very appreciated !!!

you planned on spending a day with your boyfriend, katsuki. you swung your arms as you waited on the porch of your boyfriends house, watching him slip his shoes on through his open door. once he finished, he grabbed his bag and exited his house, locking the door behind him after shouting a "goodbye" to his mom.

you hopped on one foot excitedly as you linked arms with katsuki, him sending you a cocky grin. "you ready to have the best day ever princess?" he asked, leaning down to place a kiss on your forehead.

"any day with you is the best day ever." you stated and nudged him with your elbow. he rolled his eyes playfully and chuckled. "god, your so cheesy."

you guys arrived at the subway station and took seats next to the window. katsuki wrapped his arm around you and pulled you close to him, moving his hand up to play with your hair. katsuki knew it would be a while till you guys got to your stop, so he let you relax against his figure and even take a small nap.

he made sure to make sure you didnt mess up your light makeup, knowing you'd be upset since you left your makeup at home, or fixing your hair whenever you shifted so it wouldn't get tangled. after almost 2 hours of riding, you felt a light shake of your arm, and slowly sat up.

you went to wipe your face but felt katsukis arms stop you. "don't ruin your makeup princess." he said and you giggled tiredly, still trying to shake off the sleep as he helped you stand. "thanks katsu." you yawned and he dragged you out the subway train so you didn't miss the open doors.

katsuki pulled out a water bottle and handed it to you and you took it, taking small sips. you smiled as you screwed the top back on, placing it in his bag and taking his hand in yours. "my katsu is so caring, huh?" you ask, turning to see your boyfriends slightly pink cheeks.

"yeah, whatever." he mumbled and patted your head, earning a giggle. "you wanna eat first?" he asked as you guys stepped out of the subway station. it was a bit of a walk to the pier, so you guys had small conversation.

you linked your arm with his and looked up at him, "yeah, lets get some, uh.. oh! sushi!" you bounced and shot a big smile at your boyfriend, one he just couldn't refuse. "fine, you crazy woman," he patted your head and shot you a smirk, "my woman." you rolled your eyes and walked closer to your boyfriend, slightly leaning against him.

the sun beat down on you two as you made your way to the pier, eventually arriving. you felt the cool breeze from the ocean, versus the heat from the summer sun, it was refreshing. you two walked down the pier to find a place to eat, one that had sushi of course. "oh, katsu!" you called tugging on your boyfriends arm and pointing to a restaurant.

he turned his head and smiled in the direction of the restaurant. "good eye babe." he held your hand and you two entered the restaurant. after waiting for a waiter to lead you to your table, katsuki shot you a smile. "someone looks mighty happy huh?"

you kicked his leg under the table with a giggle. "of course, who wouldn't when they're with their favorite boy at a sushi restaurant." you stated and reached over to oinch katsukis slightly tinted cheeks. "someones turning red~" you teased and earned a scoff from the ash blonde sitting across from you.

"yeah, whatever woman." he rolled his eyes as the waiter came over to take your orders, and after a few minutes of waiting, your food was served and you two dug in. "hey babe." katsuki caught your attention, looking at you with a sort of blank expression. "hmm, what is it katsu?" you asked as you took a sip of your drink. "i was just thinking, do you want to do a bit of shopping before we go to the beach? theres alot of nice shops on the pier." he said and took a bite of his food.

you smiled and nodded at him, "of course id wanna shop, why? was there something you wanted to get?" you asked, raising a brow at him with a smile. he nodded and took a sip of his drink before replying. "shark tooth necklace." he said with a smirk.

you groaned and rolled your eyes playfully. your eyes kinda hurt from how many times you've done that today. "i should've known." you chuckled out, continuing to eat. he furrowed his brows slightly, watching you with a small frown. "is there something wrong with that." his expression made you almost frown at how upset he looked.

"oh my katsu! i didn't mean it like that!" i nearly shouted, cupping his face and placing a small kiss to his lips. "i just meant that i should've known its something you'd want! its actually really cute." you say and search his face for any change in expression.

hos lips turn up into a playful smiled as he lets out a laugh, "i know shitty woman, i was just messing." your jaw dropped as he took another bite of his food. you sit back and cross your arms glaring at him. "first thing im buying is some boxing gloves."

after your meal, you guys split the bill and head out to explore the shops on the pier. you find a cute little flower shop, some surfboard stands, lots and lots of food places, and a small gift shop. a few other stores too, but those were the ones you guys visited.

katsuki looked around the gift shop for a shark tooth necklace as you toyed with anything that caught your eyes. you found some cute earings, shark week magazines, snacks– you made sure to grab a bag of chips and some gummies –and other stuff.

you were about to pass up the necklace section till something caught your eye. a shark tooth necklace! you made sure to grab it and find katsuki. as you ran up to him, surprising him with a backhug, you held your hand infront of his face, letting the necklace dangle infront of his face.

"wha- babe!" he said and grabbed the necklace, looking at it with an excited smile. he turned to you and kissed you, holding you close by your waist. you were shocked by his sudden action, but when he pulled away you chuckled and smacked his chest with your palm. "damn katsuki, you really wanted it that bad?" you ask.

he chuckles and nodded at you. he lifted his hand and mimicked the way you dangled the necklace, but in his hand was a cute jellyfish plushie. you squeaked and grabbed it, looking down at it with a wide smile. "thought my princess would like this, hmm?" he asked and you hugged him.

after buying your items, plus a bunch of random snacks katsuki grabbed last minute, you two make your way to the beach. the WAAA alk alomg the pier is pretty, seeing the tall trees and shining sun refelecting off the vibrant green grass and the beautiful blue ocean.

once you two arrive at the beach, katsuki sets down his bag and pulls out a large blanket. you stand a bit farther away from your boyfriend and closer to the ocean, watching as kids played in the waves and surfers rode them. you bounced excitedly and waddled over to your boyfriend, watching him set the blanket onto the sand.

"katsu katsu katsu!!" you giggled with excitement as he sat down onto the blanket, anchored down by anything heavy enough to keep it from blowing away, though the wind wasnt too strong luckily. "yeah yeah, put on some sunscreen idiot." he said as he motioned you over. you took a seat on the blanket infront of bakugou, smiling at him as he helped you put on sunscreen.

after you two finished, he put the sunscreen away and grabbed your hand as he stood up. you suggested that you walk along the shore as the sun set, and after spending a while eating and shopping, it was almost time. "cmon! lets go katsuuu!"

he watched you as you dragged him towards the waves, big smile on your face and he swore that your eyes sparkled. he squeezed your hand tightly as he gazed past you at the ocean. you two watched the waves dance and crash and the beautiful pink sky slowly fade into a dark purple hue.

feeling the ocean on your feet, you turned to your boyfriend, met with a gaze, and expression that you aren't quite able to read. "whats that look katsu?" you asked, smiling as he released your hand and wrapped his arm around your waist. "dont worry about it dummy," he joked and you pouted at b b him, "love."

you felt your face heat up and you elbowed him lightly. "im serious katsu, like deadass." you turned to look at the waves. "im deadass too. you know i love you.. i don't get serious like this often so just accept it dummy." he said and lightly flicked your cheek. you smiled up at your ash blonde boyfriend, and jumped up to place a kiss on his cheek.

the sky shifted to a darker blue tone, white specks twinkling in the sky. stars, just like the ones bakugou sees in your eyes. your eyes were his galaxy and your smile was his sun.

as your boyfriend watched the stars twinkle, you watched him, his small smile warming your heart and his eyes twinkling, reflecting the beautiful scatter of dots in the sky.

you two had so much love for each other, so much care and passion. small moments like these may be simple, things considered cliches, but all those cliche stories made sense in that moment. those cliches were true and you were happy to be experiencing these feelings with your love, and he felt lucky to spend them with you too.

"hey katsu." you whispered over the sounds of the waves, but loud enough for him to hear. "yes princess?" he looked down at you.

"i love you. so much."

"i love you too sweetheart."

𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 — stop starin’

(disclaimer: it’s been almost a year since i’ve written anything so please be kind. i apologize if this is bad)

“it’s girl niiiiiight!” you let out a exhausting groan as you lazily roll out of bed. the sound of cherry’s voice rung through the hallway as she opens your bedroom door with a devilish grin on her face. girls night. a night you dreaded every week, but couldn’t seem to escape. maybe it was because cherry was your only friend. you were extremely grateful she took you under her wing when you moved to tulsa but you two couldn’t be more different, and that’s the hard part when it comes to agreeing on something to do. especially when it involves her other friends. you didn’t feel like you belonged.

“cherry please, no more parties,” you wined. “i think i nearly died of alcohol poisoning last time.”

cherry laughs. sitting down beside you on your bed.

“it’s not a party y/n. i promise. i thought we’d do something different...how bout a movie? just the two of us tonight.”

you perk up pulling cherry into a long unexpected hug. it’s been awhile since girls night didn’t involve alcohol, loud music, or drunken idiots. you haven’t been this excited to see a movie in a long time.

later that night you two arrive at the drive in. it’s busy but not packed. there’s plenty of empty seats for the two of you, so you decide to take a seat towards the back. before you sit you and cherry decide to stop and get some snacks, you get a large popcorn and a coke. cherry decides to just share the popcorn with you and gets a large drink. after you pay you find your way back to the seats.

as you sit down you look up towards the screen and see a boy leaning against a car, he’s tall but not super tall, his white tee shirt bleeds through his dark jacket and his wavy hair is blowing lightly in the cool air. you meet his gaze for a second as he’s lighting his cigarette. quickly you look away before it became awkward. the last thing you want is for him to approach you. cherry must have noticed when you got suddenly quiet, she follows to where your eyes were previously glued and her brows furrow.

“no. NOT him!” she yells. “y/n that greaser is nothin but trouble. trust me. he tried getting to me at this same drive in and i poured his coke right over his head.” she said crossing her arms.

you were shocked at her sudden change in attitude. you’ve never seen cherry this riled up over anything or anyone before. so you decide to trust her judgment and forget about him. that is until you see this mystery boy start making his way towards you. cherry let’s out a long sigh, she saw him coming and he stops right in front of your seats, not saying a word.

“dallas winston don’t you have anything better to do like running from the police or somethin” cherry snaps clearly unhappy with his presence.

“oh come on now doll. don’t be like that,” he smiles seductively. “what’s your name?” he turns focusing on you.

“i-i’m y/n.”

“well y/n if you didn’t already hear i’m dallas. dallas winston. pleasure to meet you beautiful.”

you could feel your cheeks heat up as he sits in the empty chair next to you. his eyes were glued to you for what felt like hours. he was admiring. like you were a display painting at an art museum. and he couldn’t take his eyes off of you.

“do you need something?” you ask shyly.

he shakes his head and laughs.

“nahh,” dallas pauses for a moment. “i just think you’re the prettiest gal i’ve ever seen at this dump.”

you didn’t know how to respond, no one has ever called you pretty, ever. especially someone this attractive, his mysterious side kept pulling you in more and more. cherry was fuming at this point she had whispered in your ear to get rid of him but you pretended not to hear her. after a few minutes of you and dallas talking you didn’t see this mean spirited boy cherry had told you about, she was even shocked at how polite he was being.

you decide to let him stay for the movie. he gently places his hand on your leg, you were wearing a skirt that day so his cold fingertips were laying on your soft exposed skin. this sent a shiver up your spine. you couldn’t see his face but you knew he was grinning and your sudden change in body language.

you did have to slap his hand away a couple times when he tried to travel farther er and farther up your leg. you knew it wasn’t the time or place for that sort of experience. especially with someone like dallas winston. even though a small part of you wanted it.

after the movie ends, you and cherry get up from your seats. dallas stays seated for second before getting up slowly and lighting another cigarette. he takes a long drag and steps closer to you. the smell of cigarette smoke filling your nostrils. he rolls his head back and releases the smoke from his mouth before turning his attention back towards you.

“so y/n same time next week?”

“i- wait what?” you ask confused.

he laughs and reaches over moving a piece of hair that has fallen over your eyes.

“next week, i’m askin you out on a date.” he says confidently.

“o-okay y-yeah next saturday. pick me up at 7,” you barely managed to contain your excitement. this was your first official date after all.

a wide smile spreads across dallas’ face. he looks up at you, clearly emearsed once again by your beauty. he was mesmerized by how the moonlight made your eyes look like they were sparkling. and how pink and glossy your lips were. you two seemed to just stare at each other’s features before your rudely interrupted.

“cmon y/n we gotta get you home before your momma starts thinking you’ve been kidnapped,” cherry laces her arms in yours and drags you away.

she takes a look back and laughs.

“he can’t take his eyes off you,” she says sweetly.

before you go your separate ways completely you turn around, and cherry was right he was still facing you as you were walking away. and he didn’t seem embarrassed by it either. you shake your head and shyly look down at your feet.

“hey dallas!” you shout loud enough for him to hear. “stop starin!”

[eagesoldartblog]

“you brought starbucks to class and i literally begged you to pour some into my empty water bottle and thank you so much hey do you maybe want dinner sometime to make up for it no other reason” vithur maybe? :0c

Vivi was exhausted. She was awake all night, slamming her head against every book she had to read for class today. Chapter sixteen for astronomy, chapter four through six for English, three articles of some voyage in the pacific… all of the words wound up melding together in one big blur and by three am, Vivi called it quits and opted to look up the blurbs in the morning.

Well, it’s now morning, and she can’t even see straight. Trust her, she tried to absorb as much information from the summaries on the bus with. But the whiteness of the pages made her eyes burn and the abruptness of the rocky bus was more than enough to upset her soured stomach.

“How come sleeping can make you feel ill?” She whispers to herself, dragging her feet and climbing up the stairs of the highschool. Thankfully it wasn’t so unusual for a student to amble around like a zombie, but Vivi didn’t want to catch anyone’s gaze and risk being pulled into a conversation. It might wake her up a bit more, but honestly Vivi wasn’t in the mood. 

All she wanted was to get to her class, and take a quick catnap before the teacher came in and put them to work.

And some coffee.

Coffee would be great. 

Then again coffee was the main reason why she stayed up so late. Vivi reminisced bitterly. It sucked so much, but that’s what she gets for trying to choke down cold coffee at midnight to fuel her last minute escapade…

Pulling herself up the last steps, Vivi sighs with relief and plops down on an empty bench. Instantly her head and chest sag forward and if Vivi wasn’t gripping the bench seat, she would have toppled over. 

Again, not an unusual sight, but she wasn’t in the mood.

Closing her eyes, Vivi takes a deep breath. Okay, class should start in fifteen minutes- probably. Don’t fall asleep.

Easy enough, just sit there with her eyes closed. Resting. It’s fun! 

And for a moment, Vivi found her thoughts drifting into a dark… lovely abyss…

...

“Hey Vivi,” a hand claps against her shoulder and Vivi’s eyes shoot open with a jolt. Gasping- coughing as he whips her head to look at who the hell decided to wake her up-

“Oh,” she swallows thickly, “hey Arthur.”

Sitting beside her, in all of his gangly glory was in fact Arthur kingsmen, local insomniac and brainiac… and her class friend. Honestly Vivi wished they talked outside of class more often, but… 

“How are you doing?” Arthur asks, taking a sip from his white cup thing- cup. Cup? Not answering his question, Vivi pointedly glances down at the item and squints her eyes.

“F-fine fine… whatcha got there?”

Arthur follows her gaze and laughs, “Damn I see, don’t wanna talk to me but take my coffee, Huh? Is that it?”

“No!” She spits back, glaring at him, before she falters and sinks back, “...Maybe.” 

Arthur snickers, and hides it beside him, “I can’t believe this. And here I thought you liked me!”

Vivi blows a raspberry and crosses her legs, “Can you blame me? I didn’t go to bed until three am because of school.. I didn’t even finish half of the assigned reading!” 

“Why’s that?”

“I… got distracted by a book about demons. Next thing I knew it was nine and I still was up to my ass in work.”

Another pat against her shoulder, and Vivi was half tempted to smack it away.

“Sounds rough… do you have an empty water bottle?” Arthur snags his cup and holds it up. Starbucks, wow decided to splurge, huh? “You look like you need it more than I do, so I can give you half, sounds good?” 

Vivi wraps an arm around his chest and squeezes, enough to make Arthur cringe. “Yes, please holy shit, I need anything right now..!”

“Where’s your bottle then?”

“Locker,” Vivi’s voice is muffled against arthurs side, still hugging him.

“Well then get up,” Arthur jabs her head with his elbow lightly, forcing her to recoil loosely hug him, “Class is starting soon, cmon.”

“God dammit- always making me move- you suck.”

Vivi huffs bitterly, resetting the lock in a quick, overly rough motion that only seemed to highlight how tired she still was. All while Arthur takes an obnoxious sip. 

“Its getting cold~” 

“Throw yourself down the stairs,” Vivi hisses back. Behind her, Arthur snorts. Just in time for her fingers to cooperate and Vivi almost slams the locker open. Which in turn has several of her empty water bottles clattering out. 

Arthur clicks his tongue as Vivi drops down to snag the bottle from rolling away, “Nice hoard.” 

“Thanks,” Not moving from her knees, Vivi shoves her empty bottle against his leg, “Now be a dear~ I gotta toss some of these…” 

Vivi tosses them quickly into a nearby trashcan, and returns to Arthur with a hopeful look in her eye, hoping Arthur could grant her this one wish and hurry the fuck up.

Making sure to avoid spilling, Arthur fills the bottle a little over half way. He glances up just in time to see Vivi slouching there. With bags almost as deep as his. 

Only for her face to light up when he hands it over. Her exhaustion shifts to weary glee and Vivi immediately takes a swig back- 

And chokes. 

“Oh my god-” She’s muffled by her sleeve, covering her mouth as shock fills her face, “Arthur, what the hell are you drinking? This tastes like gasoline.”

Now its his turn to smirk, shifting his weight and taking another sip. “Its expresso.” 

“God-” Vivi’s eye twitches, and she takes another drink, shuddering as it goes down, “How much did you even pay for this cr- this.”

“Too much. That's for sure..” Arthur says, sighing wearily. He rubs his eyes and suppresses a yawn. 

Vivi huffs, choking back another god awful sip, “I’m gonna take you out, got it? Find you something better then just… expresso.”

“But I like it.”

“Well you’re a masochist. And because you are-” She falters the smallest bit, unable to tell if her brain is muddled because of the drink or sleep deprivation, “... tell you what! Come to my house sometime- maybe later? And I’ll make you something good and we can watch movies. I got an impressive set of horror films from my parents place and I’ve pirated a bunch of others-” 

Arthur tilts his head, scratching his chin, “Don’t you have homework?” 

“We can have it over the weekend,” Vivi shrugs, closing her locker, “...after I finish my presentation. I don’t think my guardian will be happy about me doing shitty.” 

Arthur bobs his head in agreement, “I’ll talk to my uncle if he could drop me off then. Wanna give me your address now or-?” 

“Tomorrow. I’ll make sure to jot it down.”

“Sounds like a date.” 

Vivi snickers, her cheeks warming as she straightens up, “If you wanna call it that~ then by all means! Maybe you’ll even whisk me off my feet!”

“Psh, no, Lewis is more capable of that.” Arthur says, and the two start to amble down the hall to Vivi’s first class. 

“But what if I don’t want lewis?”

“Then you should, you deserve better.”

What? Vivi’s mind freezes, preparing to ask him to explain himself.

But the bell rings. Arthur waves and is walking off, leaving her in the dust and glaring over her drink. Later…

Arthur cant escape forth period.

Wanna One Ong Seong Woo - Lovebirds Pt. 2

✽ suggested by: anon

✽ featuring: ong seongwoo

✽ genre: fluff

✽ word count: 1,984 words

✽ summary: you took the offer reluctantly. it’s not like he liked me anyway. time seemed to drag on as you sat on your bed, staring at the beautiful party dress that your roommate has kindly lent you. you had no other choice.

you awaken to the conversation of at least 7 different people outside your room

you indefinitely made out some sentences the people

slowly, murmurs turned into shouting 

you were finally shaken awake by the scream of who you assumed to be, kim jaehwan

you swiftly grabbed the glasses from your bedside table and shoved it onto your face

you opened the door, only to see jaehwan being tickled by daehwi, jinyoung and seongwoo

you rubbed your eyes, trying to open them wider

“you have the mood to do this at 6am in the morning??” you asked, scratching your hair

the 4 apologised as you closed the door shut and waited for nayoung and chaeseol to finish getting ready

by the time you gained access to the bathroom and got out, you realised it was 6:50am, and you’re supposed to be in homeroom by 7:10am

there was at least a 15 minute walk to the school campus, so you begin rUSHING

you shoved your necessities into your bag, opening your room door, to see seongwoo waiting at the lift

“y/n! come on, we’re going to be late!”

you ran over to the lift, still trying to slide on your leather shoes on the way there

you and seongwoo sprinted out of the apartment building to the school campus, trying by all means not to be late

you were slower than seongwoo cause cmon his legs are definitely longer than yours

he noticed,  swiftly grabbing your wrist

you looked up at him, only to see him looking right back at you with his cheeky smile

“come on y/n, you’re dragging me down too!” he said while laughing

the sudden skin contact made you a little flustered

also the fact that you were running, holding hands (more like wrists) with a guy older than you by a year

you just hoped the cold wind blowing in your face could lower the temperature of your boiling cheeks

by the time you reached school, you two were panting so much

the time was 7:05am, nearly late

you two forgot that seongwoo was still grabbing onto your hand

people were already beginning to shoot glances at you two

you noticed obviously

“umm, seongwoo?”

“yeah?”

his eyes darted downwards to see his left hand still gripping onto your right

“ah, shit, right i’m sorry ahah,” he said, looking away and rubbing his neck

“its okay!” you said a little too enthusiastically, moving closer to him

you realised that he might actually take this the wrong way

before you could even take back what you said, seongwoo already smiled back at you

“then it’s okay for me too,”

this made you think

wait whAT? he’s okay?? with holding hands?? what is he talking about??

he stopped the deafening silence between you two before making it worse by prolonging it

“well, see you later y/n!” he says, waving goodbye as he continued sprinting up the stairs

you smiled and went to your homeroom class, reaching just before the teacher began giving his welcome speech

the day seemed to drag on but as soon as you know it, you were on the way home, reaching the 5th floor once again

once you stepped in, you looked around the dorm, only to see seongwoo, sitting at the dining table with chaeyoung

he was sitting unusually close to her, with his arm used to point to whatever he was trying to teach her on her worksheet

but chaeyoung was looking at seongwoo very suggestively

she looks as if, she likes him

but thats just your untrustworthy girl intuition talking

seongwoo noticed your presence, looking up from the worksheet

“hey y/n! welcome back!”

chaeyoung waved to you and smiled

you greeted them both back and sped your way to your room

you dropped your bookbag on the ground, and flopped down onto your bed

you felt your heart sink

your heart was shattered

come on y/n, its just one incident. how can you be so protective over some guy that you’re not even close to?

you closed your eyes and just laid there till it was time for dinner

the next day, you let everyone use the bathroom first as usual, and by the time you came out, everyone had already left, including seongwoo

you looked at the time

6:35am

it was still early that day, so you decided to stroll to school

however, you couldn’t help but to feel disappointed

even the fresh occasional breeze that grazed your face didn’t help you cure your moodiness

the walks to school over the next few days were as mundane as always

there wasn’t anyone to tease you or initiate in small talk

seongwoo would still talk to you, but he made sure to keep a distance

he refused to be intimate with you or even touch you, even if its just a simple arm around the shoulder

you start to realise how much he may not see you as a significant other or even a crush

you also refused to confront him about the situation, it would probably just make it more awkward than it is

over the course of 2 weeks, your relationship remained stagnant

until the 3rd week of school, on a thursday morning

you walked into class, yawning 

once you reached your desk, there was a post-it on your desk, with the words “open me!” on it

curious, you flipped it open

“dear y/n, if you can make it, please meet me at the benches between block C & D during lunch break :) -anon”

your face brightened up

maybe its seongwoo? ugh y/n what the hell are you thinking, he doesn’t like you.

you continued analysing the paper, and you thought

why not?

during lunch break, you made your way down to the benches between block C & D, like what the post-it said

turning the corner, you spotted your classmate, yongsun, sitting on one of the benches

he spots you, and waves to you

you walked over to him and he gestured you to sit down next to him

once you sat down, his face turned a bright shade of pink

after some light small-talk, his tone became very serious 

“y-y/n, look, we’ve been in the same class ever since freshman year,”

thats true

“and.. uh.. i may have developed.. feelings for you!” he said, lowering his head

silence fell

and just as that moment, seongwoo walked past

for a split second, you two made solid eye contact, before he turns away and speeds off

“y/n? will you.. go on a date with me tomorrow night?”

you switched your attention back to him

pft, its not like seongwoo likes me anyway. lets give this boy a chance

“yeah, sure yongsun,” you said, smiling at him

his face brightens up at your statement

“o-oh! okay! see you tomorrow then, 7pm, at the grill place near the school,”

you nodded and departed

it was the first ever confession you had in the past 2 years, why not give it a shot?

fast forward a day

it was the evening of the first date

everyone met up with their group of friends that day, so you assumed no one was in the dorm

you sat on your bed, staring at the beautiful party dress carefully laid out

it was a shade of dark blue, embellished with sequins all around the torso area, slowly fading down towards the skirt

you really liked the dress, but for some reason you felt really guilty inside

once you slipped on the dress and put on your flats to match your dress, you looked at the time

it was already 6:30pm

you opened the room door, hoping no one was there to question your getup

but of course, someone had to be there

out of all people, it was ong seongwoo, completing some homework at the dining table

once he looked up, he laid his eyes on you

it was a surprise for him, since you didn’t really dress up often and you would always just wear a simple jumper and slacks

but you tried to ignore him and quickly race to the lift before he could say anything

well that plan failed miserably

“y/n!” seongwoo said and he stood up from his seat

the sound of the chair dragging against the floor made you flinch

you turned yourself to face him, seeing him walking towards you

“uh.. so whats the occasion?”

“oh um, i’m going out,”

“with who? is it a date?”

you could see he was genuinely curious as he maintained eye contact with you

but being who you are, you couldn’t maintain it

you looked up at him, only to look away again, taking a step back

“with yongsun, my classmate. we’re going out for dinner,”

at that moment you said it, you wished you had taken it back

you knew the amount of teasing you would get for the next few days after going on a date, especially from seongwoo and your roommates

but seongwoo stayed unnaturally quiet

looking at him for a reaction, you could see the life drain from his face

“l-like a date?” he asked with a hopeful tone

you had no idea what he was getting at

usually he would begin teasing you and ruining your hair, telling how much you have grown up from being a kid

despite being 1 year younger than he is

so you were quite confused

“yeah, you can say that,”

you two stayed silent for the next few seconds before you decided to leave

“well, see you late-”

“don’t,”

what?

you were confused at first, now you are extremely confused

did he mean, don’t go on my date? or did he mean don’t see him later? what is this awkward situation???

“uhh, what do you mean?” you asked, hoping to clarify your numerous doubts with him

he hesitated, and he began playing with his thumbs behind his back

“u-um, like, isn’t it better studying here with me??? like i could help you.. solve.. um, math equations..?”

ok what the hell is going on

your face basically gave it away when you stared at him in utter bewilderment

“oh gosh, what am i doing..” he said, twisting his body to the side, before looking back to face you

he took a deep breath

“okay, y/n, i like you okay?”

the room fell into silence

he liked, what?

“hope you don’t feel the obligation to like me back, i just want to get it off my chest.”

you just stared at him in shock

but shock changed into amusement

and you got a charge of confidence, taking advantage of his shyness at this point

“aWW, is seongwoo jeaLOUS?” you said, before tiptoeing to pinch his cheeks

he stared back down at you and took your hands from his face

his hands were literally twice the size of yours

“yes, yes i am,” he murmured, directing his eyes away

realizing that he grabbed your hands unknowingly, he let go of them

“shit, sorry,”

but of course, you had to

you took his hands back and intertwined yours with his

“i like you too, and i’ll stay with you,” you said, smiling up at him

he in turn smiled back, and pulled you into an embrace

you never felt safer before??

he then led you two to the couch where you two just talked about stuff

for the rest of the night you two just conversed, shared a blanket and watched a movie

but of course you told yongsun you couldn’t make it due to a “complication” and you would explain on monday

while watching the movie, you fell asleep to him stroking your hair on the couch, and he fell asleep as well soon after

daniel returned a few hours later, only to see you in the arms of seongwoo on the couch together, fast asleep

daniel smiled

“psht, lovebirds.”

✽ hope yall enjoyed!

✽ thank you anon for the suggestion <3

When Tyler had his first breakup, it was something he expected. His girlfriend said she didn’t think they’d go anywhere and they were better off as friends. Tyler agreed for the most part.

The second and third times were on his part. He felt it wasn’t fair to always be distracted by sports and school and never give them any real attention.

Tyler swore he’d give himself some time to grow and love himself before finding someone else. So that he could truly be in a good place to experience a good relationship.

Yet, even though he felt better and happier with himself, he didn’t understand where this breakup came from.

 “I can’t do it anymore!” Ethan shouted, out of the blue. Tyler was confused by this, he was in the middle of talking about his day when Ethan just burst.

 “I-i’m so tired of the secrets and keeping it hidden and i’m just so sick of it!”

Tyler’s smile dropped and he walked closer to hug him, only to be shrugged off.

 “I get it. I do. I’ve been wanting to tell everyone else too but I thought... I thought you wanted to wait for--”

 “Tyler i-it’s not that. It isn’t! I could care less if everyone else in the world knew! I just.” Ethan stopped for a minute and took a breath, closing his eyes as his hands shook next to his head. “Tyler, I don’t love you anymore.”

 This breakup hit Tyler. It made the light in his eyes dull into a dim glow. It made his heart ache. His soul shake in confusion. He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t sad. He was... confused.

 “W-what?”

 “I love somebody else. She’s a good girl and I love her much more than I love you. SO much. Tyler you’re an amazing person, you are. But we just don’t connect as much as I connect with her.”

This was only the beginning of what became Tyler’s downfall. In the mere days it took for Ethan to pack his things and move to an apartment, Tyler took time to reflect and promise himself to not spiral out of control. Yet, when the second that the door closed and Ethan was officially gone, Tyler only had one thought left in his mind:

Come back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 “Tyler? Are you okay?” Mark had asked one morning.

The love of my life is sitting right across the room pretending like he isn’t the reason I drank down an unbelievable amount of Fireball last night. Of course, i’m not fine.

 “Yeah.” Tyler croaked as he sat up correctly instead of leaning against his desk.

 “Alright. Just let me know if you want the day off.”

 “Yeah, that’d be great.” Tyler replied.

He’s been at home since then. Laying on the couch and trying not to puke. His head throbbed and he felt like shit. He looked around his living room to see that it really was a god awful mess. Just like me, he thought to himself.

After three naps and one of the fastest sprints he’s ever done to the bathroom, Tyler figured he could get his shit together for at least a while. He began to start picking up all the trash he had left littered across the entire house. Did they even make that many tissues in the world?

Once Tyler felt like the rugs were clean enough to look presentable, he heard a knock at the door and he tripped over one of many trash bags to get to it. Opening the door ruined his suddenly careless mood.

 “Mark asked me to come check on you. He was worried.” Ethan said, looking at his feet before looking back up at Tyler. “I was worried.”

 “I’m fine,” Tyler bit out, “you don’t need to check on me.” Tyler was about to close the door when Ethan held it open.

 “Look, you can’t keep calling me and leaving drunk messages. It’s getting out of hand Tyler. Do you know what’d happen if-”

 “If your whore found out?” Tyler finished. Ethan looked up at Tyler, offended by the statement.

 “She’s not my whore. She’s my girlfriend, Tyler.”

 “Does she not realize...?” Tyler asked, looking at Ethan before Tyler started to chuckle. But there was no happiness behind it. It was utter disbelief. Seeing Ethan’s glare made him laugh harder. “Oh my gosh, does she not know that you take dick. My dick, to be exact?”

A sharp blow to Tyler’s jaw left him speechless. Ethan looked furious as he looked at Tyler. Even though it was obvious who was taller, Ethan looked like he could tower over the other male.

 “No. She does not know. She does not need to know.” Ethan hissed, “it was all just a phase. I was lonely.”

 “Damn right you were lonely. Ooh, the ways I could make you scream.” Tyler taunted before Ethan hit him again, even harder. Tyler tasted blood in his mouth.

 “It wasn’t real, Tyler. I was just playing you dumb. I never loved you. Who could love a man like you? You’re such a nice guy and your ‘smile always’ bullshit. All you want is validation,” Ethan snapped.

 “Get out of my house,” Tyler growled, now looking down at Ethan. Ethan spit in his face. Tyler lifted Ethan by his throat and carried him outside, tossing him onto the pavement next to the grass. Ethan yelped, grabbing his hip. “Don’t you ever come back here again.”

Ethan scrambled onto his feet and walked to his car. He slammed the door and turned on the engine. “Faggot!” He shouted as he drove off.

Later that night, Tyler drank more. Mark found him passed out in his bathtub with four empty bottles of liquor littering the ground.

---------------------------------------------------

Things got worse after that. Tyler never went to the office. Ethan claimed he fell slammed his throat onto a piece of furniture to account for the bruises on his neck and hip. Mark and Amy went over to Tyler’s often to check up on him. Once, they found a chair right underneath the fan and a badly tied rope outside Tyler’s door where he wept.

His drinking was deadly. Amy had asked Kathryn to help her find and pour out every bottle with even 1% alcohol on its label.

Tyler disappeared at one point. No one knew where he went. Mark ended up having to drive all the way to Las Vegas to find out he went to the casinos, spent half his money and still ended up in jail.

 Kathryn obliged to live with Tyler to make sure he wouldn’t do anything ridiculous. Ethan’s girlfriend was actually obsessed with Mark and he had been oblivious the entire time before he found she had tried to drug Mark. They broke up, leaving Ethan cheated on and hurt.

Nobody discussed with Ethan what went on with Tyler. Ethan knew it was because they found out they were dating.

 “How come Tyler never comes around anymore? I haven’t seen him in forever,” Ethan attempts to ask, letting out a chuckle to try and convince them it’s a harmless question.

Everyone looked at each other, having a conversation with their eyes to decide whether or not to tell Ethan.

  “He’s just busy. He got a new job.” Mark decided to lie. Ethan nodded his head, confused by this.

  “He got a boyfriend too.” Amy added, Kathryn staring at her wide-eyed. “Yeah, it took Tyler some balls to come out to us.” Amy said, hiding her bitterness in her words.

 Ethan went back to editing. He felt... confused? Was he happy for Tyler? no. He was... dare he say it? Jealous?

--------------------------------------------------------------

 Just like every night for the past month and a half, Kathryn added another another tally to the chart listing the amount of days Tyler’s been clean. Clean from drinking and abusing himself. 

  “51 days, Ty, i’m proud of you,” Kathryn said as Tyler smiled back at her. “Alright, i’m headed to bed. Night.”

  “Night.” Tyler replied, finishing the dishes he was washing. Tyler went to his own room, what used to be Ethan’s, and laid down on his bed to scroll through his social media feeds. Tyler had felt more comfortable helping the team from home rather having to go to the office and... see him. 

 Speak of the devil, Tyler received another text. This was the seventh one that week. The twelfth ever since they broke up. 

 It read a simple ‘Hey’. Tyler ignored it, leaving it on his notification bar as he went to get ready for bed. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Tyler checked his phone again to see two more messages.

 I haven’t seen you in a while. 

Want to hang? :)

 What should he say? What could he say? Tyler didn’t know. He wanted to pour in his emotions, his hatred, his agony, his sadness, his honesty. But he did nothing. His thumb hovered over the letter’s Y and E. Tyler closed his phone and laid his head against the pillow. He looked up at the ceiling and tried to concentrate on positive thoughts.

 His fingers itched for a bottle of Scotch.

 Another buzz and a ring. Ethan sent a third message.

C’mon man. :/ I want to apologize. I want to make up for

Tyler stared at the message. It ended with that. Without thinking, he replied.

For?

Another buzz.

for what I did.  Four months ago. Cmon, dont make me say it.

Tyler wanted to play ‘dumb’. He replied with:

What did you do?

there were three little dots in the bubble for a while before it expanded.

For breaking up with you.. for literally tearing you apart. My ‘girlfriend’ was just obsessed with Mark. She never loved me. And.. I did love you. I was just angry, Tyler. I was just. I hated the fact that I had to leave you just because I saw something in her. I really did love you Tyler. I still do. Im sorry.

Tyler read and re-read what Ethan sent. He did love him. But the bitterness inside Tyler grew. It grew whenever he drank. Whenever he swam in his own tears. The alcohol was the water that fed the seed inside him. Tyler fought back the bitterness. But it remained. Tyler closed his phone. He figured tomorrow would be a perfect day to go back to work. Not to see Ethan. But for Ethan to see him.

 Ethan was left on ‘Read’ a little before 11.
