you saw me (i got nowhere to hide)
maddie’s pov | post 6x10 | 5.6k
Maddie turns around, ready to leave, reaches for the doorknob and–
And then she freezes again because she hears it, the sound that made her realize she wasn’t alone in the first place. Only this time she can place it.
Crying.
She drops her hand, turns on her heels, and steps further into the loft. There’s no one in the kitchen or the dining table, which is as much as she can see from there. Then she takes a few more steps, her head whipping around, looking for the source of the sound.
When she finds it, Maddie’s heart all but plummets to the floor.
On the steps of the loft sits Eddie, hunched over, hiding his face in the soft fabric of what looks like one of her brother’s sweaters. And he’s crying.
No. He’s sobbing. An onslaught of gut-wrenching sobs tearing through his chest with so much force that his whole body shakes with it.
Oh, Eddie.
***
Or while Buck’s in a coma, Maddie finds herself at the loft one afternoon. There, she finds a heartbroken Eddie and they have a moment.

when the brainrot hits you like a truck
here are some cooking and cooking related headcanons!!
• kazuki is a very good teacher, hes generally very patient and attentive, he tends to bicker with rei a lot, he struggles to formulate himself concisely sometimes but hes doing great
• miri joins in anytime they cook, they let her wash the vegetables or mix ingredients together, which she obviously has little songs for
• rei is trying his darndest damn it!!
• he finds it really hard asking about stuff and especially for help but hes trying and i love him 😢😢😢
• rei sucks at cracking eggs, miri laughs endlessly, kazuki is dying in the background,,, he keeps explaining how to do it correctly but it never seems to get through to rei
• its not even funny at this point, either the egg is smashed before hes even tapped it to the counter or he ends up using too much force when tapping it against the counter or he successfully cracks the egg but shell ends up going in alongside it-
• he is also stupidly fixated on being able to crack eggs single-handedly (he says its bc its efficient and its always good to have a hand free, which is true, but really he just thinks its badass) and its the bane of kazukis existence, he comes home one day to find both rei and miri (bc miri would also think thats the coolest thing ever and want in) in the kitchen with an almost empty egg carton and egg and shell covered counters, they make eye contact and kazuki immediately turns around and leaves to buy more eggs without so much as a word
• kazuki abandons using omelets as an easy entry-level dish after that
• rei is bad at seasoning savory dishes, hes bad at eyeballing the appropriate amount, kazuki does his best at helping or getting him to use measurements but rei is stubborn, he obviously doesnt want more to have more dishes that absolutely necessary so he needs to work on his eyeballing skill
• during early sessions kazuki would always supervise closely and sorta just constantly stare like a hawk over reis shoulder, he learned quickly not to do that again 💀💀💀
• rei doesnt really grow to like vegetables but kazuki learns ways to work around that by discretely incorporating them in dishes
• rei does like cucumber tho, subtle and very crunchy, put some salt on that sucker and youve got an easy snack (that he shares with miri), you dont even have chop it in order to enjoy it which is appreciated
• kazuki throws a bunch of cookbooks at rei and urges him to look through them and see if anyhting piques his interest, rei flips through them before going to sleep which can bite him in the ass when he has to go to sleep hungry as fuck 💀💀
• hes woken up multiple times with a cookbook in the tub with him
• rei enjoys baking a lot, his and miris sweet tooths never go unsatisfied
• he doesnt bake frequently per se, but he does so in bulk, and freezes cookie dough and such
• kazuki, early on, suggested cooking games in order to maybe get rei a bit familiarized with terms and techniques but he grew to regret it, a gaming night where everyone is gathered in the living room and kazuki loses his mind at the logic in the games, he doesnt stop commentating
• they end up getting into cooperate cooking games like overcooked, plates up and one-armed cook tho and its all good, if they play with miri in the vicinity they have to bite their tongues in order to not swear
• rei struggles grasping his mind around meat, theres so many kinds and cuts and doneness levels and ways of preparation and spice blends- its all a lot
• rei and miri each get their own aprons to match with kazukis 🥺🥺🥺
• miri gets a little yellow one with a monkey or like a sky blue or pink one with a white rabbit, fuck it why not both
• rei has an orange one with a black cat
• or if we wanna stick to an ocean theme, miri would have a goldfish or jellyfish and rei would have an octopus
• rei is a bit of a mess in the kitchen but we love him anyway, i just feel like hed be the type to go "ill clean it all at the end"
• he unceremoniously throws dirtied utensils and pots in the sink to be delt with later
• doesnt even use waiting times to clean or clear his space a little, kazuki is horrified
• rei finds doing the dishes a bit tedious at times but he enjoys the process and seeing the fruits of his labor in the form of sparkling clean dishes
• the repetitive motions are very soothing
• he doesnt like getting wet tho and wears gloves
• rei listens to music when cooking- maybe some instrumental tracks, nothing too distracting
• miri observes whenever either of them are cooking, she stands on a little stool in order to see the counters properly, she is really curious and inquisitive
• early on in reis cooking journey she would give him pointers and reminders she remembered kazuki telling them
• rei isnt an adventurous eater or cook, he prefers things that are simple and quick to prepare
• wait times for rei are long and arduous so he sneaks off to play some video games in the living room, the first few times he did this were disastrous and hes learnt to turn down the volume by a bit and reminding himself that he is in fact in the middle of cooking something
• the family makes lots of homemade popsicles during summer
• when kazuki and rei first try cooking together they mess up a lot but eventually they get a system going where each of them has their own tasks. they make a good team in the kitchen for the most part
• cooking very much becomes a family activity for them after a while

You ever think about how Pran bravely ran in to save Pa from drowning and how that (subconsciously at least) taught Pat to be brave and run in to help people in trouble and (how that funnily enough is one of the reasons Pran loves Pat and) Pat being brave and open with his love opened up a part of Pran that finally helped him be brave and open with his love?
You ever think about Pat needing to talk about every single thing he feels and yet knowing not to prod when he knows Pran just can't bring himself to express it? How he fought against his instinctual reflexes all because he loved Pran?
You ever think of Pran getting over years of suppressing his love and denying himself and fighting against his own self and the years of brain washing to finally accepting the love Pat offers but being terrified that people would find out and yet deciding to fuck all that because despite all that he still cares about Pat more?
You ever think about Pat being unable to repress his feelings and needing to communicate and how when Pran eventually started getting over his fears he also started communicating and expressing himself, forgoing self preservation and thinking of Pat?
You think about Pran's feelings running after Pat unexpressed and unspoken and how Pat literally runs after him when he sees him leave? How Pat is always the one running after Pran and yet the moment Pran knows Pat is upset he proceeds to leave cute notes all over the house, make him meals, drops everything and runs home to just be there for him?
You ever think of Pat growing up in a house where he's taught to be a certain way to hold up the family name, to keep up his father's legacy (yeah right i'll fck u up ming u fckass), to be all macho and alpha and unsentimental and how Pran is somebody in front of whom he doesn't have to be or do any of that? He can just be pretty baby boy who wants to be kissed and babied and fed and Pran will just do that for him?
You ever think about Pran having to grow up repressed the hell out and how Pat just comes and brings music into his life, joy into his life, wraps him up in his unconditional unwavering kindness so much so that Pran can't help reflecting the same back to him?
You ever think of the infinitely many ways PatPran make eo better, ways one can't possibly capture in a few words or instances, ways both hidden and public that forever kept changing them over and over and over again all throughout their lives?
You ever think about how they loved inspite of those changes, because of those changes, but also before any of these changes?
You ever think about how their love and their bond and their friendship overlaps and undercuts and envelopes and weaves through almost every single thing they have ever done, every step they have ever taken, every choice they have ever made?
You ever think about how you can't ever really know exactly just how much of Pat is in Pran and how much of Pran is in Pat cos they've been intertwined ever since the very beginning of time and will continue to be intertwined till all end of time or are you normal?
