20 for bear and bean! Cause we know carmy’s got good coats.

Time for some secret relationship fluff after the angst from the other day!

20. A heavy wool coat settling over shivering shoulders

The Bear and The Bean universe

It was one of those perfectly unplanned evenings.

Fireworks being let off a few streets away had brought the staff from both The Bear and The Bean out onto the street, breaths misting the air and hands being stuffed into pockets to escape the cold as you all gathered on the pavement. The January night air was frigid but there was something lovely about gathering with your friends to watch the fireworks erupting in the sky.

As Phoebe and Katie passed around takeaway cups of hot chocolate, Carmy sneaked a fleeting kiss to your cheek and a whispered “hey” to greet you. You had to bite your lip to stop the giddy smile that wanted to take over your face, mindful that you could be seen.

With the others distracted by the display in the sky, it was easy to stand close to your boyfriend without drawing any attention. Through the thin fabric of your shirt, you could feel the warmth radiating from him and you reflexively rubbed your arm.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed.

“You cold?” he murmured, voice low enough that only you could hear him.

A few feet away, your friends were distracted by laughing at Chelsea trying to show Richie how to work his phone’s camera to film the fireworks.

“Hmm? Oh, yeah, kind of.”

“What happened to your jacket?”

The concern in his voice had you feeling that giddy urge to smile again.

“It’s inside. Don’t wanna miss the fireworks though. I’ll be fine.”

You heard him hum pensively, and a second later he was shrugging out of his wool jacket in order to drape it around your shoulders. It left him in just his white t-shirt, the sight of his biceps warming you almost as much as the coat did. He carefully folded the jacket’s collar up to keep your neck warm, fingertips brushing your skin.

The two of you returned to watching the fireworks, but only a minute passed before you had to voice the nagging thought running laps of your mind.

“That wasn’t a ploy to get you to give me your jacket, by the way,” you told him without looking at him.

“I know. You don’t do ploys.” He bumped your shoulder gently with his, the gesture taking you by surprise. “Worked though.”

You looked at him in surprise to see him still looking up at the fireworks, the flashes of brilliant pink and blue and gold illuminating the cheeky grin he wore. Glimpses of his playful side didn’t come often but you loved every one.

Feeling bold, you shuffled closer to his side and slipped your hand into his.

A second later, he squeezed your hand back, and the winter chill was all but forgotten.

[weirdness55460]

can we get their first intense argument after they’re official. like they’ve had little spats here and there but nothing crazy but now they’re really upset with one another and she flinches while they’re arguing, obviously carmy would never hurt her but we’ve seen on the show he can get real angry and that just triggers her

Warnings: Arguing, descriptions of a previous abusive relationship (not with Carmy), angsty ending (for now…)

The Bear and The Bean universe

You had flinched.

He had thrown his hands up in frustration and on the other side of the room you had flinched.

The two of you had been arguing over a stupid thing that he couldn’t even remember anymore, he had thrown his hands up in frustration, and on the other side of the room you had flinched.

You had flinched because of him. You had thought that he was going to hit you.

That tiny gesture from you doused his anger quicker than water on a flame, replacing it with concern for you and guilt that you had even briefly thought that he would hurt you. Eyebrows pinched together, he stepped towards you, seeking to comfort you; his heart plummeted when you stepped backwards on instinct.

You were crying now, choked staccato sobs that you were trying to get under control as you stared at the ground, arms curled around yourself like armour. He wanted so badly to wrap you in his arms, to wipe away your tears, but that wasn’t what you needed from him then. Even in his fear and panic, he knew that you weren’t really there with him in that moment.

You were miles and years away, in your old apartment, with your old boyfriend, the one who taught you to flinch.

Keeping his distance, his hands held up in surrender, Carmy tried to bring you back to the present.

“Baby, please, I- fuck, I wasn’t going to, I’d never- I’m so sorry-”

“Get out.”

Your voice was tiny, terrified. He could see you shaking and his arms ached with the need to hold you, to make it all better.

“Baby-”

You couldn’t even look at him, your hands in fists at your sides.

“I need you to get out.”

He wasn’t sure when he had begun to cry too but his eyes stung with tears. Desperate to do the right thing, he nodded.

“Okay. Okay, I’ll do that. Just…just please call me so we can talk? I…I want to fix this, baby.”

You managed to nod and he clung to the gesture like a lifeline, a hope in hell that this would work out.

“Thank you. Thank you.” Desperate to prove to you that you were safe with him, that you were always safe with him, he rummaged in the pocket of his jeans. “Look, I’ll…I’ll leave my key right here, okay? You call me when you want and I’ll pick up and we can talk.”

You didn’t acknowledge that he had spoken, still as a statue in the middle of the living room. He knew that there was nothing more that he could do in that moment, that he had to leave and trust that you would call when you were ready.

As soon as the apartment door clicked shut behind him, your sobs echoed through the wood.

do you usually use a top sheet? (a thin flat sheet underneath a duvet, separating the person from it) (curious because it seems common in australia and europe but nonexistent in the usa)
