#remlo and studying

[stingro]

HI MERRR hope ur doing well !!!

for the reqs- consider some remlo+right person/wrong time, or blysen+first kiss?

or anything vaguely soulmate-y is cute too ^_^

HELLO MY FRIEND SPEX ^^ i'm doing well and i hope you are doing well too!!

SORRY. OKAY I FINISHED THIS I POSTED IT WRONG. HOLD ON. Ok i did blyke/isen first kiss but tbh one day i'll go back and write a full slow burn character study about blysen in uni haha see. i'm not super proud of this but i will definitely go back one day and expand upon this completely

darling, you're a little insufferable

blysen. 1220 words.

The first thing Blyke says when he opens the door to his dorm room is, "Go away, I'm trying to finish my homework," before promptly attempting to slam the door shut right on Isen's perfect face. (Because it does make sense that despite his rotting university excuse of a student diet consisting primarily of instant noodles, diet soda, and the occasional soju bottle, Isen is still somehow the picture of health and happiness.)

Isen stops the door from slamming by poking his foot through a slit, and in one fell swoop, swings it open. Blyke groans.

"Now, hold on," says Isen, holding his hands up in surrender. "Pack your shit, we're going to Moonite Park."

"I have shit to do." He crosses his arms grumpily, looking at his desk with all of its books. "I don't have time to go out right now. I still have to maintain my grades and—"

"Whoa, whoa. Hey." His voice gets softer and he gets close to Blyke, pressing his hands into Blyke's shoulders to ease the tension. "I know you have a lot to do. But it's not good for you to stay cooped up like this. Take a break. Let's grab some boba and go to the park, and you can work there."

"But, I—"

"Get ready, go change, and we'll leave in ten minutes." Isen ruffles Blyke's hair, and maybe Blyke's tired, because he just lets him. It's formed from years of comfort. "The sun will do you some good."

Finally, Blyke sighs in defeat and shoves his hands in his pockets before going over to his closet to pick something out. "Fine. You win."

***

Through the warm sun in the middle of fall and summer and Isen's slow, soft questions, Blyke opens up a bit more on the walk to the boba shop, telling Isen about a stupid group project that only three of them have worked on in a group of eight. And Isen is the kind of person to make jokes about how he 'shouldn't have been a STEM major and done something like Drama instead', but he thinks the bags under his eyes are particularly prominent and that his posture makes him look disheveled despite the effort he put into choosing an outfit that didn't scream 'My life is falling apart and I've survived off of pure spite', because Isen just nods his head and listens quietly before offering to pay for Blyke's boba.

Blyke looks at him like he’s crazy, head splitting in two, but Isen snorts and says, “Relax, idiot. I’m not doing your homework for you.”

Blyke immediately smacks his shoulder, hard. “I know you’re not! God, don’t ruin a nice moment by opening your big, fat mouth!”

Despite that, Isen opens up his wallet and pays for both drinks at the kiosk, and when they sit down with their drinks, Blyke finally feeling the chill and tasting the richness, he starts to tear up. Not with hiccups and sniffles and a scratchy throat--just salt welling up in his eyes, burning a little, his vision blurring.

Isen looks at him in alarm, reaching his hand to press into Blyke’s own. “Hey, hey hey, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” he chokes out, wiping away his tears with his wrists. “‘m sorry, I’m just. There’s a lot. I’ve been so tired, haven’t been sleeping well.”

"Do you…wanna sleep at the park? Under one of the trees?"

It sounds so stupid, really, because why would he sleep under a tree with itchy grass that scratches him when he has a comfortable bed? But it gets him to stop crying right then and there, so he agrees.

***

"This is…nice," he says begrudgingly, head resting on Isen's lap, backpack unopened. Blyke looks up at Isen, who's petting his hair, eyes fluttering shut. "Where's Remi?"

Isen yawns, responds, "With Arlo I think. They're getting food right now, Arlo wanted to catch up with her."

"Oh." He yawns, again, and looks at Isen's face through hazy vision. He looks so…

"I wan' a kiss…," he croaks out, covering his eyes with his forearm, chewing on his bottom lip. 

Isen sits up straight at that, eyes decidedly not shut. Asks tentatively, "...Are you sure about that?"

"Yep.

"...Okay."

So, he leans in, gives a small little peck on Blyke's lips, and sits up again.

Blyke pretends not to notice the little blush creeping on Isen's face, and turns to face away from Isen to hide the redness crawling up his neck to his cheeks.

remlo and studying

literally whatever this video is [HC END]

jk

remi could probably pay attention if she wanted to (but it’s more fun this way)

her completely forgetting about a project and begging arlo for help and he’s like whatever. what’s the worst that can happen 

then 3 hrs later the both of them have gone completely off the rails

they forget that they’re supposed to be studying in the first place and start “discussing” (arguing**) about anything else

the librarian used to like arlo because he keeps to himself but whenever remi pops into view she throws her head back exasperatedly bc of the chaos the both of them are about to ensue together

arlo’s constantly like. ok let’s go back to work and then they never do because remi keeps finding different ways to distract him from the topic at hand

they have a reward system where if she has a streak of correct answers she’ll get a kiss

at one point they both say fuck it and just stick with making out instead 🙄

remi: [pushes books off of desk] ok let’s get to business

arlo: my notes 🗿🗿

arlo will be trying to focus and remi will start giving commentary on the material unprovoked

she starts questioning the board of education and saying shit about how they’re just feeding into the cog in the machine, arlo’s like “im just trying to help you pass trig”

their hustle during the literal last hour 😭

remi: ok now we have to study for real

arlo: the material is on the floor thanks to SOMEONE

during wellston finals remi passes out in the library while studying and arlo drapes his blazer over her

[stingro]

if you want to die, do it somewhere far away from me.

i'm sick and tired of people dying on me right before my eyes.

remlo and catnapping in wellston

arlo catches wind of rumors of a cat lurking around school, sees remi stuffing cans of sardine in her bag from her locker

against her desperate protests he opens the door to the closest classroom; there’s a stray tabby getting it’s dirty paw prints all over the teacher’s desk

remi’s been taking it to and from her dorms for the past week because she can’t leave it behind during school hours

episode 9128437528 of arlo caving to remi when she begs him to keep this info on the dl until she can find it a proper owner (with great reluctance)

the cat either loves arlo even moreso than remi which causes problems when they’re trying to secretly move it 

OR the both of them absolutely loathe each other since they’re vying for remi’s full attention

random meowing during study hall, they both share panicked glances as the teacher leans right over remi’s desk to see where the noise is coming from

arlo having to lie through his teeth to the staff and make a fool out of himself while remi makes a quick getaway with the cat >>>>

remi gets teary-eyed when she has to part ways with it

when she thanks arlo for keeping his silence he tells her “i only did that so rei wouldn’t get mad at me for ratting you out” (we know he’d help her bury a body upon request)
