friends to lovers things that are the reason i would die for the trope
getting secretly jealous when one of them brings someone home or goes on a date(maybe not so secretly 👀)
saying i love you platonically until one of them realizes that they're actually in love and then it becomes Weird
no one being surprised when they finally get together(bonus points if there was a bet)
constantly getting asked if they're dating and one of them always furiously denies it as the other furiously blushes
cuddles that blur the lines between friends and lovers aka them making it awkward™
knowing almost everything about the other like how one of them once had a hamster without a leg that they overfed and cried about for a week straight
if one of them fakes needing a fake date because they're hopelessly in love with the other and reads too much fanfic 👀
not wanting to tell the other because they're afraid that they'll lose them and being friends is better than nothing
getting into arguments when one of them gets a girlfriend/boyfriend because one of them thinks that the other doesn't love them but the one with the gf/bf is just trying to move on bc they also think that the other doesn't love them
when they've already met the parents as a friend but now that they're lovers they're a nervous mess all over again

some angst idk y’all i like crying
“ i don’t want you here. just go. ”
“ you ‘didn’t mean to hurt me?’ yeah you did. like it or not, i know exactly who you are. ”
“ why won’t you even look at me? ”
“ i’m not angry at you. i’m angry with myself for trusting you. ”
“ i wish you’d stop trying to destroy yourself in some misguided effort to feel worthy. ”
“ i know it’s not fair to say this, but i don’t have anything without you. if i don’t have you i have nothing. ”
“ you can’t love me. not the way i need to be loved. ”
“ i’m broken. and i don’t need anyone to try to feed me white lies about it. something inside me is broken and it isn’t just going to be put back like it was. ”
“ sometimes being broken isn’t about trying to put things back together like they were before. it’s about picking up what pieces are left and building something new. ”
“ okay, so you’re a monster. so am i. lets be monsters together. ”
“ because of what they/you did i’m damaged. ”
“ what the hell is wrong with you? ”
“ what the hell is wrong with me? ”
“ i can’t fix you. you can’t expect me to know how to fix you. ”
“ yeah, i’ll be here. i’ll be here when you’re ready to stop running. ”
“ my world is just falling apart. it’s like everything is just crumbling around me. i don’t know what to do. i just want it to stop ”
“ you’re the only thing that makes sense right now. everything else is just— the world is so loud. and the only time it feels quiet is when you’re here. ”
“ i don’t know how to talk about shit okay? it’s too hard. but i do care. i need you to trust me that i care. ”
“ stop punishing yourself. you wanna make up for what you’ve done? get off your ass and do something about it. ”
“ whatever it is you think was going on between us, you’re wrong. ”
“ it didn’t mean anything to me. ”
“ you should move on. i did. ”
“ i feel like i’m one bad day away from becoming everything i’ve fought against. ”
“ stop pushing me away. i’m not going anywhere, asshole. and as soon as you get that through that thick skull of yours, the better. ”
“ i don’t need you in my life. i don’t want you in it. ”
“ i can’t trust myself. if i let myself get comfortable enough, when i try to be happy, people get hurt. ”
“ people like me don’t get to have peace. ”
“ i’m not the person you want. i know you think i am. but it won’t take long for you to realize this is a mistake. ”
“ you want the truth? the truth is when i love people it burns inside me like a poison. it infects every part of me until it feels like they’re in my goddamn soul…and then i fuck it up. and it’ll destroy us both. ”
“ i’ll always choose you. that’s the worst part of it all. i’d choose you over and over, even though i know you wouldn’t do the same. ”
“ you never had to be perfect. you just had to stay. ”
“ will you please just stay for once. just. don’t walk away. ”
“ if i loved you less, i might be able to talk about it more. ”
“ just tell me something real. tell me something i can remember no matter what happens to us. ”
“ when you look at me, i feel seen. i feel like you see past everything i’ve always surrounded myself with to try and protect my heart. no one has ever looked that deeply at me. ”
“ how can you uncover so much about someone, make them let their guard down and lay themselves bare to you. and then just throw it all away? ”
“ if you walk out that door don’t bother coming back. ”
“ why are you so afraid of trusting this— trusting us. what’s making you hold back? ”
“ will you still be here? will you stay even after you’ve seen all the ugly parts of my heart. ”
“ i don’t care how willing you are to die for me. i want you to fucking live with me. live for us. ”

“I...” It’s not very OFTEN that Huaisang takes him by surprise, but in rare and far-inbetween instances it’s like Huaisang’s metamorphosed into a whole different person in front of his eyes. But - looking at him, slight and impossibly young and standing there with his fan - Jin Guangyao breathes out a sigh. “...No, nothing.” I’m sorry. “Nothing you need to worry about.” I really am sorry. A second brother... the wrong brother, the only brother Nie Huaisang will have left in the world. How can he take that away TOO? When he has taken so much already. “I just...” Forces a smile onto his face - good enough to fool others, though it feels like a hastily-applied plaster to himself, unnatural and ready to fall off at any moment. “Have a lot to do. You know what that feels like.”
@pcachlovc ; “ You know you can talk to me about anything, right? ” (jgy & nhs - I hate that he really d o e s mean it djdjdjd) / found family prompts.
𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐧. a jittery breath escapes as he swallows a lump from the back of his throat as eyes shift to the familiar figure. lips twist into a modest grin. “ of course [ … ] you’re like a second brother to me! ” the response flows melodiously like that of a chirp from a songbird. “ but uh [ … ] i don’t think i have anything to say! what - what about you? do you have something you need to tell me? ” eyes peer at the other while the fan is released, and then brought up to fan and conceal the lower half of his face.

indulgentia // RUNYU :
Dragon’s deceived at first, trapped in his pointless perfectionism and self-indulgence to even notice that he was being absorbed in his own work, spending more energy than his body was perhaps able to. A terrible habit developed over the centuries. He could still find some comfort in the rather childish thought of leaving his queen satisfied and proud, perhaps the only thought that carried him through the days, after all. Getting to such point alone, however, could be considered a prowess for a supposedly ethereal immortal creature. Did his faults and flaws reach this point? Thus the end of a strenuous work cycle came to an end in the arms of his beloved ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Quite literally.
❛❛ I am ━━━━━━━ please, do not worry so. ❜❜ Of course, there was no way this phrase would have the desired calming effect. But all he wanted was to unburden his Xiao Jiu’s heart of any concern, even though his body pledged otherwise. He almost tried to stop her from signaling to the maid, one hand raised in the air but too slow to do the task. While his pride seemed to sink into the bottom of his stomach, all he wanted was to look at that delicate face and try his best to feign indifference. To no avail. ❛❛ I am not sure if I have, but it is not that important: I am perfectly fine, you see? ❜❜ Speech ends with a smile as no resistance to her is offered.
In spite of protest, she takes him all the way into his chambers - ignoring the looks the passersby in the winding hallways cast at her as she speeds past them - and sits him down on his bed. Props a stack of pillows under him to keep him upright, aware that unless he falls asleep in the next few minutes like this she ought to try to feed him first. Whenever he gets busy, she tries not to bother him - the quicker he can finish, the quicker he can REST. When she goes into his study to deliver snacks and tea, it’s not very often that she stays to make sure they’re actually EATEN. Sends another maid to heat up the porridge that she’d only made that morning.
“...YOU’RE important.” Turns back to him and smooths stray strand of hair away from his eyes - fixing him with a stern look - the effect quite ruined, she’s sure, by the way her eyes were red-rimmed slightly with tears. Is it an adjustment to think of himself as such? Her chest hurts to think of it and she isn’t entirely sure. He’s always held it together in front of her so well thus far that sometimes she FORGETS he needs to be reminded. Sniffs, and lifts back of hand to press gently against his forehead, just to check if he has a temperature. “And you’re clearly not fine - you just fell on me like that - ” Cuts off, and she lowers her gaze, silent for a moment, trying to control her voice. “...You scared me.”
