A sharp gasp sounded from your lips as you saw the figure behind you in the mirror. Your hand still hung halfway in the air, the earring you were putting in forgotten as you eyed the man behind you. Slowly, you spun around on your stool to meet the eyes of your surprise guest. He stood there, smirking as if you had been expecting him to show up all night. As if you had been waiting there just for him, all prim and pampered in anticipation for his arrival.

His soft gaze drank in your figure, your bare legs exposed up to the thigh underneath your silken robe. You crossed one leg over the other, trying to shield some of your exposed skin from his curious eyes; there was a whisper of mischief hidden behind those soft eyes– you would expect nothing less from him.

“What are you doing here?” you asked, voice quiet. You resumed putting in your earring, the jewelry catching the light that spilled in from the hallway behind him. He tilted his head at you, as if you were asking a ridiculous question.

“Just missed you,” he answered simply. He shrugged.

You sighed heavily, your body relaxing as you turned back to your reflection in the vanity. You eyed yourself; you had carefully applied your makeup, smudging your eyeliner to make it just the right amount of messy. Your vintage earrings glinted in the light, complimenting the dainty necklace shining around your neck. Hanging on the door to your closet, your dress was just waiting for you to put it on before you left for the night.

“You always have wonderful timing, Jacob,” you said, voice hinting at sarcasm. “I didn’t know you still had a key.”

He smiled. You briefly met his gaze in the mirror behind you. He was so intense, just lurking there, watching you. Goosebumps trailed over your body, rising first on your legs and snaking up your back and neck. He always had this effect on you, turning you into a blubbering shy mess under his observant eyes.

“Me neither,” he agreed. “Found it in my old guitar case. It’s the little old skeleton key. Always thought it was endearing that you got the locks specially made, just because of that.”

You flushed beneath the layer of cosmetics on your skin. He was always saying little things that hit you right where it stung. It was the reason why you had to stop speaking to him completely after your break up. He knew you like the back of his hand; how could you resist someone that knew every little thing that was special in your life? Every little detail about you…

“Glad I know where the spare is,” you said, jokingly. It was the easiest way to deflect, to try and ignore the way his words made your heart pound. “I’ve been living with one house key for over a year now…”

His little smile quickly disappeared, and he shook his head. “Has it really been that long? Over a year?”

You nodded solemnly. Forcing your eyes away from Jake, you found it more difficult to look yourself in the eye. Here you were, sitting still with your broken heart while the one person that you knew could fix it was watching you like a hawk. But it was never that simple.

“It has.”

The two of you were quiet for a minute. His eyes followed you as you reached for the dress hanging on the doorway. Out of habit, you reached to untie your robe, then realized it was no longer appropriate to change in front of him. Your grasp faltered as you entered your bathroom, leaving the door cracked behind you. His presence was too distracting for you. Your fingers trembled as you pulled the zipper up as far as you could, then you stepped back out into the bedroom. He was now sitting on the bed, looking very out of place in what used to be your shared bedroom. After things ended, you gutted the place and redid everything. Only a few things of sentimental value remained.

“C’mere,” he said softly, “I’ll zip you up.” He stood and approached you.

Turning around, you swept your hair off of your shoulders and exposed your back to him. You shivered as his warm hand grazed the skin of your lower back, fingers trailing alongside the zipper. You chewed on your bottom lip, squeezing your eyes shut as he zipped it with excruciating care. You wanted to thank him, but were afraid of what your voice would sound like if you spoke.

The silence was beginning to kill you when he finally finished. You smoothed the front of your dress, and turned to face him.

“Jake– I… You shouldn’t be here.”

“You’re going to see him.” His voice was suddenly darker. Jealous. There was a flicker of deep emotion behind his dark irises; he was hurt, and you hated yourself for it. A whole year came and went without him, and you were still tearing yourself apart over him. Over that look in his eyes.

“I am,” you said thickly. “I can’t see you, Jake, please. You need to go.”

He visibly winced at your words. You tried to ignore the pang in your chest, ignored the urge to pull him into your arms and comfort him. It wasn’t right.

“I know, doll,” he said, his voice hoarse. “I just– I wanted to give you something.”

He began to rummage around in his jacket pocket for a moment, digging past his jingling keys and change, before pulling something small out and holding it out to you in the palm of his hand. The tiny parcel was wrapped painstakingly in a layer of delicate brown paper, and a thick layer of bubble wrap. You carefully grasped it, trying not to graze his hand with your own. You wouldn’t be able to handle your skin touching his again.

“What is it?”

He smiled sadly. “I’m not telling.”

You mirrored his expression. This all felt like a flashback to the past; he was a supreme gift-giver, always showering you with tiny trinkets and little things that reminded him of you. Every time he came home with a surprise, you always asked him what it was. He would never tell. You hated how easy it was to fall back into an old routine with him. How easy he made it to stay in love with him.

With delicate movements, you unwrapped the little parcel. It was slightly smaller than the size of your palm as you opened it; tears filled your eyes as you finally saw the gift. In your hand sat a little butterfly figurine, carefully made of glass. Its crystalline wings cast tiny, glittering windows of colorful light onto the skin of your palm. It was exactly the kind of thing you adored; you had a shelf on the far wall full of little thoughtful gifts like this from Jake.

“Jake…” your voice quivered, and you shook your head as you tried not to cry.

“It reminded me of you,” he said softly. “Sometimes, I think everything reminds me of you.”

You were teetering on the verge of tears. The thought of looking up at him was unbearable. As if you weren’t already being torn apart, he continued speaking.

“You’re still my little butterfly. Don’t you know that?” He reached out, one of his hands cupping your cheek sweetly. Instinctively, you nuzzled into his embrace, breathing in the scent of his skin. Your silent tears dampened your cheek and the callused skin of his hand.

It was wrong. Everything about this was so wrong. But it all felt so right.

“Why are you doing this?” you whispered. He was torturing you. You tried so hard to forget him. You rid your house of every little reminder of him that you could bear to throw out. You deleted his phone number, you deleted every song he liked, you stopped talking to all of your mutual friends. You even started seeing someone else, but nothing worked. Nothing could get him out of your mind. He was cemented there, unwavering. Everyday was a chore; you spent so much time trying to forget Jake that he was all you ever thought about.

“I need you, Y/N.”

You laughed humorlessly, reaching up to grasp his wrist with your free hand. You finally peeled your eyes open, but you still couldn’t look at him. Instead, you stared at the fragile butterfly resting in your open hand. It felt like you were staring at yourself; a little glass creature just waiting to be shattered into a million pieces.

“I needed you, Jake. And I hate you for it,” your voice broke into a sob. “I hate you because I can’t stop loving you. You’re the only person who’s ever broken me open.”

He was crying, too. “I was so stupid, doll, so fucking stupid. Everything I did, it was selfish. I knew I was hurting you, and I did it anyway. I’m a fuck up, and I know that, but I can’t live this life without you. I promise you I can’t…”

You didn’t have the words to say you felt the same. A thousand emotions passed through your mind; your chest ached with all of the pressure of trying to find the right thing to say. Your daydreams for the past year were filled with fantasies of making up with him, taking him back despite all of your screwed up past. Now, he was standing in front of you groveling and you had no clue what to do.

“I– I don’t know what to say,” you breathed.

You forced yourself to look at him, and saw the pain in his eyes. Your stomach did a flip. You hated seeing him like this, hated seeing him hurting as much as you were. That horribly pained look in his warm brown eyes.

“Don’t go to him. Stay here with me, please.”

You opened your mouth to speak, but no words came out. What were you supposed to do? Tell him to get out and leave to go see your boyfriend, so you could spend every second of it wishing he were Jake?

“What can I tell him, Jake? I have to go.”

“I don’t care what you tell him. Anything. Just don’t go. I can’t take it,” The hand cupping your cheek snaked around the back of your neck, and he pulled you gently into his embrace. You buried your face in the nook between his neck and shoulder, breathing him in. You wanted him closer; you wanted to be so close to him that you were practically the same person. There was no way you could leave him after this. Fuck your boyfriend, fuck the dinner party, and fuck anyone who wasn’t Jake Kiszka. He was your person, the love of your life.

You pulled away from him finally, staggering as you balanced once again on your own feet. The little butterfly shook in your hand as you stepped away from him, carrying it to the shelf filled with the rest of your trinkets. All of them were attached to the man standing behind you, begging for your forgiveness. It felt almost foolish now, that you ever thought you would be able to forget him. It was so obvious to you now that breaking up was the worst possible decision.

You left your butterfly perched there, watching as you curled back into Jake’s arms. He undressed you, laid you down in your bed. He made love to you and wiped your tears after you were finished. He removed your makeup without you asking, and pulled his shirt over your head.

The two of you sprawled over your bed. You rested your head against his chest, the steady thump of his heartbeat in your ear lulling you into relaxation. He admired you as if you hung the stars in the sky.

“I love you, my butterfly,” he whispered above you. You shivered, his sweet voice caressing your soul in the darkness. How could you have ever wanted this to end? No other love could possibly compare to him; how he knew you, cared for you, adored you. You had always been his.

So even if I did manage to get the farmhouse tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to move in right away.

It's several days drive and it does need some internal cleaning and upkeep to be liveable again.

So in the meantime, this is where I'm staying, living, in the here and now.

So I have ideas how to make the best of it.

The first one I thought of was putting large rubber mats down on the floor, covering the carpet, making it easier to clean, less of an issue if I spill my potted plants, feel better on my feet, etc.

But the second idea is probably the most significant.

Since losing Cazza and getting Scott I have hardly had any privacy. This has likely been something responsible for a large part of why my mental health has been so bad. Andy need privacy. Growing boy need privacy. Etc.

Scott is needy though, and like a cat, if I shut my bedroom door he will want out or in again.

I cannot install a dog door on the current door, but the landlord can't do jack shit if I carefully take it off its hinges, put it into storage, and buy my own cheap hollow core door and mount a dog door onto that.

I could also get a locking doorknob.

I then started watching thinking about more ideas. Like a light system where based on color of light turned on the outside of the door my roommate will know when it's okay to disturb me for small things, casual things, serious things, or not at all, as well as some sort of "on air" sign so he doesn't bother me while streaming.

I think this would genuinely help me a lot. Both because having such a door would be enriching in my life both to see every day and to initially build (I love making things after all) but because it does give me privacy back. If I keep the dog door unlocked Scott can enter and leave as he pleases but I still get my closed door and my sound dampening and my seclusion.

The light system is mostly something I'd have fun building and would be proud of and want to show off. But my roomate has a problem where he doesn't know if I want to be disturbed so he either doesn't get me informed on things important or comes in randomly when I am doing something. Having both a locking door and a sort of "mood" and "buzzer" system would make this significantly better I find.

The modes essentially would be as follows:

No disturb. Red light or something. I also lock the door. Knocking or pinging my computer would be for emergencies only.

Doing something or sleeping. Orange light. I do not want to be disturbed but if it's important you can still open the door or knock or ping my computer. Listening to music with headphones on counts, so I may not hear knocking but will see my computer being pinged.

Yellow. Enjoying alone time but if there's something to do I would like to be involved. Knocking will always be sufficient.

Green. Knock, await response, and enter. Basic shit.

The streaming sign would be nice too but is admittedly more of a vanity/cosmetic.

I could wire the lights myself easily, possibly get a raspberry pi that's connected to the wifi to do the "doorbell" computer program.

Thinking about just really having fun with this and going all out using vintage unsold stock lighting and such. I could do a lot of it wirelessly, but I am sorely tempted to wire it all up the old fashioned way. Make it still functional during outages. Just because :)

I need my little inventor clubhouse projects to feel sane.

Plus buying the door would be an investment for potentially needing to replace a door in the farmhouse.
