Hello ♡ ´ ･ ᴗ ･ `♡ now I also wonder about tsukki, but if we use that logic, Hinata will have orange hairs?. When I was a kid, around 10 years old, I wanted to be a baker so I learned how to bake cookies and brownies and stuff, but I quit after burning a towel with an electric pan, if you want to know, well the towel. It was under the pan and then it started to burn, but my 12-year-old brain at that time managed to grab the towel and put in some water so I survived. Part 1 thisisalittlelong

I still have like 3 brain cells because when I'm cooking and I need to change the pan's position, I still think about touch it with my bare hands, instead of grabbing the towel that's RIGHT next to me. I think there's a genetic thing with me liking maths, because my mum it's graduated from one of the most prestigious high schools in my country, called colegio científico (I don't know how to say it in English, sorry) part 2

P3: but it's specialized in maths and cience, and my dad it's a teacher of physics in the same type of high school, but idk. I'll love to play Animal Crossing with you, but my island it's a mess, it wasn't even finished when I decided it was a good idea to re acomodate the whole thing, but still I don't complain to play with you, I just need to pay the online, I don't have it because I just have two friends with a Nintendo Switch. well ٩(ര̀ᴗര́)ᵇʸᵉ look for the light and shine bright ♡(*´ω｀*)/♡

This Is apart from my previous ask (btw I had to cut some things because it was like 1300 letters (´。＿。｀)) but today I discovered one music group called SIAMÉS and when I listened to "summer nights" And " Mr. Fear" I just felt so touched, I didn't felt that way like a year or two ago when I discovered Caravan place, which is an electro swing band that have really good songs (〃ﾟ3ﾟ〃). Well ٩(ര̀ᴗര́)ᵇʸᵉ and look for the light

HINATA WITH ORANGE-HAIRED LEGS- I‘M LOSING IT HERE OMG 😂 idk why I find that funny, but that just made me laugh really hard 😂😂 But i feel like Hinata is just not someone to have a hairy body- I can totally imagine that he tried to grow a beard, but just COULDN‘T- POOR BBY

AND- uff I also burned something under a pan - but I was 22 and not 12 😂 Just glad that nothing bad happened, seems like your 12 year old self was still smart- smart enough not to get yourself killed!!

BUT I ALSO DO THINGS LIKE THAT- a friend of mine once told me that you need to control your reflexes when you work in a kitchen, and he is so damn right. Your first reflex is to grab the pan- but you need to think first 😫 so don‘t feel bad, things like that happen to all of us 🥺

Seems like your parents are really smart, just like you!! It’s very impressive that she went to a prestigious college 😳 And do you also like physics and science?

MY ISLAND IS A MESS TOO- need to change some things and at least make some roads or ways AND I SWEAR- my house is not even that pretty on the inside- cause I always played when the shops are closed, that’s why I never got new furniture 😫 but I bought that Godzilla statue and made a shrine for him. Priorities ✊🏻

I‘m gonna listen to them- I‘m always up for song recommendations!! And especially if the music is touching 🥺 I’ll tell you how I liked it!!

So, my dear Alice-chan- I hope you‘ve been drinking enough, and that you‘re healthy and well!!

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! 💖 take your hugs and kisses right here!! 💖

At this point I’m just beyond pissed, dumblr staff fix the damn tagging of this lovely. It’s the only that I don’t get notifications from for some reason 😡.

Anyhow, let’s start cracking with this essay okay.

My mind was racing all afternoon and my gratitude for Chris was overwhelming as he was organized enough for both of us and steered me through the day. Jack had called again in the middle of the afternoon to let me know that what he’d said earlier was true - the surgery went well and my dad was expected to make a full recovery - but I was still so stunned by the whole situation that I was struggling to focus. 

Her internal struggle feels so real and then putting that one line of how Chris responds. It’s a chefs kiss editing choice.

He got us to the airport on time and through security - despite me misplacing my boarding pass at least twice and Grayson being very hard to wrangle as he was practically vibrating with excitement from the sudden trip.

😔 I’m sorry sweetie, just focus on that little ball of energy, he’ll take your mind of things for a moment.

That guilt was made even worse by the fact that the flight had gone completely fine.

This came right for the feels 😫

“What make is it?”

It has four wheels and drives, who cares what make, hahaha

“Uh, I have no idea,” I admitted. “It’s kinda like an SUV, but a small one? Or maybe just a big car? I’m horrible with that stuff.”

Hahaha, this is exactly my point. We don’t care and we shouldn’t car not in this moment.

“He’s doing really well. He’s still in the hospital, but they think he can come home tomorrow.” 

That’s some speedy shit, but home is always the best for recovery, cause it’s a comforting place ♥️. Papa will be just fine.

We’d agreed that it would be best for us to stay there for a few days as Chris’ house probably needed some organizing. He’d let his friends stay there occasionally since he was hardly ever around even before the pandemic, but no one had been for a while so the beds would need making, things would need cleaning and we also knew there were no toys or anything child-friendly to entertain Gray.

You shouldn’t care about that. How? How does the LA home not hav child friendly toys. Meatball DO BETTER!!

“It’s no trouble,” Jack assured us as his eyes landed on Grayson. “It’s great to see you all. I can’t believe how big that little guy is now!”

Hahaha, I could hear Gray say, ‘because I’m almost four now’. Oh the heartstrings, he’s growing up fast, but he’s a wonderful kid.

“He’s great. Honestly, he’s the best. He’s learning so fast and talking so much now.” 

I’m telling you, pandemic born babies are a different breed.

“Yeah, definitely. I have a meeting I can’t miss first thing in the morning, but Andrea said she would head over to Mom and Dad’s to help keep an eye on Mom and help get things organized for when Dad comes home.”

I’m all here for this lovely family dynamic and the closeness and warmth of it. It feels so comforting.

I passed Grayson over to Chris and he stirred slightly from being jostled once again. Knowing it would be disastrous for his sleep pattern if he woke up now, Chris rocked him gently for a moment until he settled and nuzzled his face into Chris’ shoulder. Very gently, Chris lowered him into the seat and buckled him in before brushing the hair out of his face and soothing him until he had relaxed again.

The mental vision you’ve created here 🥺, it’s so soft and so sweet and cute and fluffy. SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN IN RL A BABY ALREADY!!!

“He was so excited about seeing you,” Chris chimed in. “All we heard all day was ‘does Uncle Jack like dinosaurs? Will Uncle Jack want to play with me? Is Uncle Jack funny?’.”

😭 PROTECT THIS KID ALL COSTS OKAY. So precious and so pure ♥️

“I dunno about that,” Jack laughed. “He has quite the knack for temper tantrums and he has a shockingly impressive stamina when it comes to screeching when he doesn’t get his way.”

Oh no, cry babies are the worst. That’s a tough period.

but seeing the familiar sights as we headed onto the highway had me realizing how much I’d missed it and how happy I was to be back.

👀 listen, hear me out: this is not gonna cause trouble isn’t it? Because damn, the fight that could come from that alone 🤯

My dad had always been a large man as he was over six feet tall and very broad shouldered. He was usually quite an intimidating presence - despite the fact that he was a very friendly and kind man -

It’s always the big guys who look intimidating, that are such nice geezers though.

but now he was the opposite. Lying in his hospital bed, hooked up to several different machines, he looked small and frail and the sight immediately brought tears to my eyes.

I feel so bad for Whitney 🥺

I shrugged it off and pretended that I didn’t care, but it did always weigh on me that we weren’t as close as I would have liked.

The strain of a troubled parent dynamic. But sweetie, despite all that, here you are. You’ll figure it out over time as you are here, maybe even talk it out, but if it’s draining you should count your losses and move on for your own peace of mind.

And that was the first thought that crossed my mind when I heard the words ‘heart attack’ come from my brother’s mouth earlier that day - that I’d missed my chance. That I’d procrastinated and taken time for granted and would never get the opportunity to try and repair our fragile relationship. It was a thought that devastated me more than I would have expected and as soon as I knew that he was going to pull through, I knew that I needed to finally put the effort in and try to make amends.

No, no, no and no again, no. We’re not doing this, this is not okay, you shouldn’t blame yourself for this. It’s because this situation occurred that you’re thinking it, but we are not our thoughts. There’s still time to figure it all out, time will heal anything.

“I’m gonna have to stop you right there,” My dad’s croaky voice piped up as his eyes fluttered open. “You are absolutely not a disappointment.”

😭 don’t mind me crying my eyes out.

Monkey. My heart clenched at the sound of the name he always used to call me when I was a child and I felt a few more tears slip down my cheeks and soak into the top of the mask I was required to wear.

Yeah this isn’t gonna make the tears disappear 😭

“Oh, please,” he rolled his eyes. “You might not have been dating, but we all knew you were madly in love with the guy even back then.”

Facts, 100% facts.

“Well, I’m sorry I haven’t said it before. Can’t have you living your life thinking that I’m disappointed in you. Not when I’m so proud and love you so much.”

Even though it might feel uncomfortable, this talk is running so smoothly and it makes me smile and cry at the same time.

“You’re not on your deathbed, don’t say that,” I scolded as I snorted out a laugh. “But while we’re on that topic, how are you feeling?”

😂 oh this is something my grandmother could’ve said.

But yeah, dad, you shouldn’t be joking about it so soon, haha

“Hopefully,” he sighed before forcing a smile back onto his face. “I’ve got to get out of here so I can see your little monster.”

And you will, because he’s a fluffy cute little monster.

“He’s very excited to see you,” I assured him. “I think he made you about eight get well cards today while Chris and I were packing.”

THIS IS SO PRECIOUS 😍.

“Some of it,” he admitted. “At least the good parts. Your mom is to blame for your attitude problem.”

Spoken like a true father 🤣

“If they don’t, you’ll have to come and bust me out.”

Hospital break out, let’s goooooo

“I’ll get Chris on it,” I laughed. “He can use his Hollywood charm to sway the nurses.”

Now that’s some great thinking there.

I assumed that everyone would be in bed already, but the kitchen light was on so I went to investigate only to find my mom sitting at the table with a cup of tea. She looked as exhausted as I was, but the sight of her made my heart swell.

Not the midnight mum talk too 😩, I don’t know if my bubbling emotions can handle that.

With impressive speed for someone who looked ready to fall asleep any minute, my mom leapt out of her chair and dashed across the room to pull me into her arms.

To be fair, after not seeing loved ones for the longest, that hug was much needed for both parties.

“He was still pretty cranky,” I admitted. “But he’s alright. We had a good talk. Hopefully they’ll let him come home tomorrow though or I’m guessing he’ll get pretty unbearable.”

👀 dad had a stubborn nature. I wonder where your stubbornness came from Whitney? I don’t think it was your mother 🤐

“They don’t like to keep people in these days,” she sighed. “With this virus still going around, I guess they need the beds and it’s probably safer for him to be here anyway. I’d hate for him to be exposed to it while he’s recovering.”

Mum’s got a point right there. Also the comfort of home is much better to recover in.

“He’s fast asleep upstairs in your old bed with Grayson,” she informed me, the look on her face making it clear that she found that very endearing. “He said he didn’t want him to wake up tomorrow morning all alone in a strange bedroom. He’s a good dad.”

Meatball why are you so fluffy and think about all these little things. Meatball is a good dad indeed ♥️

“We’re excited too,” she assured me. “But for now, you need to get yourself to bed. It’s been a long day, it’s very late and you look exhausted.”

You all should be in bed and get some much needed rest.

The sight of Chris and Grayson cuddled up in it together when I walked into the room, melted my heart. I didn’t want to disturb them, but I couldn’t resist sneaking over to place a kiss on each of their foreheads before going to Jack’s old bedroom where Chris and I were supposed to be sleeping.​

Such a soft image 😍🥺. It made my heart melt too.

Another scrumptious insight in their journey of settling in as a couple. As always thank you for writing this magnificent piece ♥️

Gaze on the Shore

Summary: As the world starts to reopen, tentatively hoping the worst of the pandemic is behind them, Chris and Whitney face a new set of challenges. With busy work schedules and the pressures of normal life looming on the horizon, will the foundation they’ve built through lockdown be strong enough to keep their relationship steady or will they crack under the strain?
