OC - OTP PROMPT #18
Tumblr media
At the age of 26, with a master's degree weighing heavy on their shoulder and the persistent nag of wanting to get away from all their mutuals and coworkers falling in love, Person A decides it's the right time to live out their own version of Margo Roth Spiegelman. Packs up, teeters around discreetly, and finally makes the move to leave after three weeks of hurried planning.
Hurried as all their plans to get as far away as possible may be, the want to chase after the fleeting figure of Person B is slowed down as much as possible. After all, Person A decides to move to the middle east, and where else could Person B hide more naturally due to both religious and cultural aspects/clothing?
[chasing B might be because of how they keep giving the darn best advice whenever they seem to come across A completely lost around the century old cities of the Arabs.]
[slowed down because getting to know B is to become their disciple and learn to think the way B does; starting with fasting since Person A had decided the month of Ramadhan would be best for start working alongside the most fascinating Muslim stranger they'd come to know.]
— it’s been a while, again, hehe. my finals have been... yeah. i hope i make it out sane. anyway, with ramadhan here, i thought, hey! muslim OCs!!! this prompt is in no way written nor created for the purpose of mockery or offence. as always, credit is much appreciated, have fun!

Then you will really be in trouble. As long as you stay here, you can always think: One day I will go home.' He played with my thumb and grinned. 'N'est-ce pas?’” 19: “I walk away outside these buildings / I like to think they were made for me / It's just familiar in these settings / I guess I'll leave / I have the fear I won't be calling / There is no special place that I need / There is no home that I remember / There is no place that I can be” 20: “Can't stay here but you can't go home” 21: “You've just turned twenty-nine years old, your accent still hasn't left, and you're starting to understand what it means to have baggage. Baggage means no matter how far you go, no matter how many times you immigrate, there are countries in you you'll never leave.” /end id]

Here's What Our Parents Never Taught Us
by Shinji Moon
You will stay up on your rooftop until sunlight peels away the husk of the moon,
chainsmoking cigarettes and reading Baudelaire, and
you will learn that you only ever want to fall in love with someone
who will stay up to watch the sun rise with you.
You will fall in love with train rides, and sooner or later you will
realize that nowhere seems like home anymore.
A woman will kiss you and you’ll think her lips are two petals
rubbing against your mouth.
You will not tell anyone that you liked it.
It’s okay.
It is beautiful to love humans in a world where love is a metaphor for lust.
You can leave if you want, with only your skin as a carry-on.
All you need is a twenty in your pocket and a bus ticket.
All you need is someone on the other end of the map, thinking about the supple
curves of your body, to guide you to a home that stretches out for miles
and miles on end.
You will lie to everyone you love.
They will love you anyways.
One day you’ll wake up and realize that you are too big for your own skin.
Molt.
Don’t be afraid.
Your body is a house where the shutters blow in and out
against the windowpane.
You are a hurricane-prone area.
The glass will break through often.
But it’s okay. I promise.
Remember,
a stranger once told you that the breeze
here is something worth writing poems about.
