Gemma slowly woke up wincing a bit as she felt her face moving and the immediate pain and tug on her stitches.

She frowned waking up not feeling Macklin touching her like he always is, she couldn’t remember a time she woke up in bed with Macklin and they weren’t touching.

She turned over seeing Macklin lying on the edge on the other side of the bed and lying on his back looking up at the ceiling.

“Macky?” Gemma said softly her voice raspy from just waking up.

Macklin glanced over at her and saw how much worse her black eye got again and her black eye was fully shut, her face around her eye and eyebrow was also now bruised, her nose had a gash now and her stitches was even thicker now, he managed a week smile at her.

Macklin barely slept just watching her seeing her wince in her self and kept moving uncomfortably in her sleep. He just could not get over the fact that she went through all of this without him over a week ago.

He’s supposed to protect her and he wasn’t even there for her.

Gemma frowned as he gave he a small but not real smile and didn’t speak. She rolled over and grabbed her pain medicine taking her next doze and her iron pills, iron pills she has been taking over the past week with how much blood she has been loosing.

“I should get you some breakfast.” Macklin said with a frown watching her take her medication and he was so in his head he missed the frown from Gemma as he didn’t kiss her.

“Ok.” Gemma mumbled sadly, she had a feeling she knew why Macklin was acting like this but she wanted her boyfriend.

Gemma cuddled up with her stuff animal from Macklin and snuggled under the blanket.

Macklin didn’t realize how long he spaced out before snapping out of it and making Gemma breakfast, by the time he walked back in it’s been an hour since he left.

Macklin sat on her bed making her glance at him and the yoghurt bowl that she usually loves, “Thanks but i’m not hungry.” Gemma said softly, she felt uncomfortable from the dried blood on her and in to much pain and she is worried about Macklin.

Macklin frowned but nodded, “Okay i can put it in the fridge till you’re hungry.” Gemma just softly nodded and watched him leave again.

She winced feeling a drop of blood start to come down her face from her stitches.

Gemma slowly sat up taking a deep breath taking her time to stand up knowing she will feel dizzy.

Macklin walked in seeing her sitting up and she stood up swaying a bit and he rushed over touching her finally steading her.

Gemma started walking to the bathroom and Macklin followed watching intently to make sure she didn’t sway again.

Gemma grabbed the soft throw away towels as she leaned against the cabinet, “Could you help with this?” Gemma asked him softly knowing Macklin like the back of her hand.

Macklin slowly nodded taking the towel and gently reached up not touching her as the towel just brushed her face.

“You can touch me you know Mack.” Gemma told him firmly but softly.

Macklin glanced away, “I wasn’t there for you Hope. You were hurt and in pain and seeing you hurt even more and getting stitches again, i wasn’t there.” Macklin’s voice cracked.

Gemma’s face just softened and she cupped his face making him look at her, “And you couldn’t have been.” Gemma said simply.

“Mack we have our own careers, our own schedules. There is gonna be times we are injured and we can’t be three for each other. I do not blame you for not being there because you couldn’t have been there but i know if you could you would have been.” Gemma softly told him.

Macklin frowned sighing but leaned into her hand.

“It’s okay you weren’t there Mack, i promise.” Gemma gave him a reassuring smile.

Macklin sighed but softly nodded at her words, “I’m sorry i was off this morning.”

“Fully forgiven.” Gemma gave him a loving smile making Macklin smile back, “Now could you help me wipe the rest off?” Gemma broke their moment with a small laugh.

Macklin quickly nodded and softly held her face and wiped her face gently.

The bleeding stopped again and Macklin threw the towel away and they both washed their hands.

Macklin wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed the side of her head, “Do you need anything else right now?”

“Actually a bath would be really nice.” Gemma softly admitted, she was to tired and in pain last night, “I can’t shower till tomorrow but if you could help me take a bath and not get my face wet?” Gemma asked hopefully, she had to wait to get the blood out of her hair the first time for a full day and it was very gross.

Macklin’s face softened, “Of course, You sit and i’ll draw you a bath.” Macklin had Gemma sit on her stool in her bathroom as he started the bath putting her favorite essential oils, bath salts and bubbles.

Macklin helped her get rid of her clothes and get into the bath. He reached over grabbing the cup and filled the cup as he leaned her head back as he gently wet her hair and started cleaning all the blood out of her hair.

Macklin helped Gemma take a bath and once they were finished she got into a pair of Macklin’s sweatpants and long sleeve shirt.

Macklin did her skincare and gently brushed out Gemma’s wet hair before they headed towards the kitchen and Macklin grabbed her yogurt bowl as she was hungry now and she started eating with Macklin just sitting next to her watching the softly.

Once Gemma was finished eating Macklin brought her to the couch and got her comfortable under all of their throw blankets and he laid down next to her letting Gemma cuddle up to him.

Macklin turned on one of their shows and they started watching.

It was maybe an hour later when there was a knock on the door and Gemma and Macklin shared a look knowing who it is and Macklin got up and opened the door letting Will in.

“Hello my favorite couple.” Will called out playfully and took off his jacket and shoes.

“Hi Will.” Gemma called back very quietly.

He followed Macklin back to the living tom and Will laid down on the other side of Gemma getting comfortable under the blankets as Macklin laid back down and Gemma got her pillow back and Will rested his chin on her shoulder.

“How you feeling Gem?” Will asked his best friend softly.

“Like i hate getting a sticks to the face.” Gemma mumbled out making Will and Macklin both laugh at her rare sass.

“You still look beautiful.” Will reassured her making Macklin fondly roll his eyes.

“My girlfriend.” Macklin playfully said giving Will a teasing glare.

“Our girlfriend.” Will teasingly suggested making Gemma laugh to herself.

Nothing amused Gemma more than hearing online about Willmack. She loves the edits she sees on tik tok and she always teases the boys about it.

“Willmack.” Gemma just piped in teasingly making Macklin and Will both let out fond sighs.

Gemma just smiled and nuzzled her head on Macklin’s shoulder.

What gem did I just find

I don't remember this ship being that prominent in the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons

[happy-mokka]

Crowley:

"You mean like a sudden rainstorm forces them together beneath the canopy. They look into each other’s eyes and realize they were made for each other."

Aziraphale:

"Sounds a bit unlikely."

Crowley:

"No, get humans wet and staring into each other’s eyes, Va-voom! Sorted. I saw it in a Richard Curtis movie."

Said movie was "Four weddings and a funeral" from 1994.

Written by Richard Curtis. Directed by Mike Newell.

The 2 Va-voom! people were Andie MacDowell and Hugh Grant.

Me and my friend watched it today. We had planned that for longer, in fact, since Crowley had mentioned it, and she took notice of it while watching Good Omens (and reading several references of it on Tumblr afterwards.

I already knew the movie from when it came out in the mid-90s. I loved it back then. Goofy Charles plaayed by a young Hugh Grant. Today, I have to admit, I see it from a different perspective. Well, I've lived 30 more years, after all. I still like it, but from a different angle.

My friend put it like this, when the movie was over, and I have to admit she's absolutely right:

(Hugh and Andie find to each other and Va-voomingly kiss in the rain)

"Well, they deserve each other! They're both horrible!"

Yep. Let's be honest. They are. She hooks up with him twice, just to leave him behind like a rotten apple - the second time already engaged to horrible Scotsman Hamish.

He treated every single one of his ex-girlfriends like shit and has not even the guts to at least once after all these years to really apologize when he has the opportunity.

These 2 were the two mains in this rom-com and supposed to be the characters to sympathize with accordingly.

It just didn't work for me anymore.

Why I still like the movie, though, is for the great supporting characters and cast.

Charlotte Coleman as Charles' cute sister Scarlett.

James Fleet as Charles' deaf brother Tom.

Robin McCaffrey as Tom's future fiance Serena (learning sign language to be able to flirt with him 🥰)

Last but absolutely not least, Simon Callow as Gareth and John Hannah as Mathew. This adorable gay couple. Back then, in the 90s, this was still a very courageous take, having them in a major blockbuster in such a prominent position as characters.

For me, they're the main reason now why I keep coming back to this movie. Their acting and chemistry are brilliant, and the name giving funeral is so sad but at the same time beautiful and uplifting (if that's even possible).

Here it is:

"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum

Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead

Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,

My working week and my Sunday rest,

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;

I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.

For nothing now can ever come to any good."

(W. H. Auden)

Charles states after the funeral:

"Yes, it's odd, isn't it? All these years, we've been single and proud of it and never noticed that two of us were, in effect, married all this time."

Which brings me to this in the end:

Maybe such a thing as a Va-voom! moment exists. Maybe not. Waiting for it to happen will mostly likely make you miss lots of other nice things and especially people in your life. Sometimes, the most unlikely side-characters might, at some point, become your favorite people in the world if you get to know them. Don't always go for the prom king or queen. Talk to the geek and the outsider. The shy colleague in the back of the room. You'll change over time, and so will your perception of people and things. Be open to it, and you might find bestest friends along the way, maybe even Va-voom!, just in a different way than you'd expected. You might not even need to get wet in the process...
