"I was pretending that I did not speak their language; on the moon we spoke a soft, liquid tongue, and sang in the starlight, looking down on the dead dried world." (We Have Always Lived In The Castle – Shirley Jackson, 1962)
the 1960s were also known as the swingin' sixties, and that name could not be more appropriate. while some other decades had moved towards comfort, the 1960's truly embraced it. some of the youth simply threw on a tunic and stepped into some pants and walked out the door! the popularity of television broadcasted different styles and trends across the country and the world. new materials like acrylics and polyesters were cheap to produce and to buy, and made fashion more accessible than it ever had been. the swingin' sixties brought the youth miniskirts, striped sweaters, the boxy "mod" look, and the bright, fun makeup associated with famous artists like twiggy. some older women tended towards the skirt + suit jacket combination worn by first lady jackie kennedy, but the comfort of the youth was appealing to all ages. beatnik fashion was also popular, with trim black trousers and dark sweaters. in 1964, hairspray was the most popular beauty product on the market – and it showed in the elaborate updos of the era. as the decade drew to a close, the "hippie" style was a popular look among the youth, with loose fitting tops and baggy pants, as well as maxi skirts. many of the hippies incorporated crafts into their fashion, with patchwork and beadings becoming popular.
this is only a very brief summary – the trends and influences of the 1960s are vast and complex, just as the 1960s themselves were. the social revolutions mirrored the revolutions in fashion, and i could write essays about it. but i am tired and i moved in today.

This Week in BL - Bunch of Stuff Coming in August
July 2023 Wk 5
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Laws of Attraction (Sat iQIYI) 2-3 of 8 - Oh good, we now know that Thailand has the same statutory rape laws as the US. Dub con is as dub con does. MEANWHILE Oh my God I love evil lawyer cutie so much. Him and his beautiful weaponized smile, maybe my new favorite character. I like the way this director is playing with noir mystery tropes, settings, and archetypes too - it’s feeling very 60s pulp, I’m getting gay Travis McGee vibes. Grandma knowing that her grandson likes boys is so sweet. I have to be completely frank here, this is what I wanted from both Manner of Death and KP. I truly love this show
Hidden Agenda that isn’t hidden (Sun GMMTV YouTube) ep 3 of 10 - It’s a very Cyrano de Bergerac kind of narrative... If Cyrano fell in love with Christian instead of Roxanne. Mock date was fun. 
Low Frequency (Sat iQIYI) ep 4 of 8 - Into the lion’s den. Investigation begins. Why isn’t the ghost acting lookout? Who are these random side characters? I’m confused. Half way through kiss is right on schedule tho. 
Wedding Plan (Weds YT & iQIYI) ep 2 of 7 - The kiss was nice, but it’d be nicer if Nuea had punched Lom. Manipulative arse. A trash watch is happening!
Be Mine Super Star (Mon Viki) ep 4 of 12 - Meh. 
Dinosaur Love (Sun iQIYI) ep 5 of 8 eps - The hazing has begun + secret relationship and it’s kinda like a v soft SOTUS. Dino is getting a bit too controlling and obsessive for me so it slid down the ranks. I much prefer La Cusine’s version of this dynamic. The friends protecting Dino’s interests were funny tho - boy is so obsessed he outsources his stalking. 
Be My Favorite (Fri YouTube) ep 10 of 12 - Max is BEST BOY. I hate Kawi. Tra la la. Trash watch here.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Jun & Jun (Korea Thurs Viki) 2 of 8 - Our ex idol is a total FLIRT. Nice to see an uke with agency. I mean baby girl is a newbie worker bee… but still flirty, good for you, sweetie. I see your little lip bite and so does your soon to be husband. Speaking of, I love Choi Jun’s style of seme aggression: a little sleezy + a bit too handsy + ultra clever with his words. Plus tie tug!!! Also threatening to take off your TAILORED suit so baby wears your shirt and smells like you? HOT. Boy you sped right past American style and into Italian - that’s real Corinthian leather, that is. 
Stay By My Side (Taiwan Fri Gaga) 5 of 10 eps - Mid series kiss right on schedule. Thank you for never upsetting me, Taiwan. Omg. Such boyfriends. Only Taiwan gets this sappy. I have to say, I watch this show after Tokyo on purpose. (I need the pallet cleanser.) Still, I’m scared that the perception will be that Bu Xia is using Jiang Chi, not in love with him, when the truth about ghosts comes out. Why doesn’t BX’s useless sister do something for her disaster brother? I guess JC likes a needy boy? Oh no, the kiss confusion. Lip touch but rejection (?). Nooooo. I suppose they have to draw this out for 10 eps. Gah, they’re so cute. But BX is a bit dim, isn’t he? Poor thing. 
Minato's Laundromat Season 2 AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan Thu Gaga) 4 of 12 eps - Shin is such a worrywart, over protective, over the top boyfriend. I guess we saw a little bit of give from Minato? More than usual, baby steps. This is Japan after all.
Tokyo in April is... AKA Shigatsu no Tokyo wa (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 7 of 8 - Japan’s favorite trope = the running of the gays. Kazama knows everything now. Ep ends on one of my few triggers. SKIP! Japan you better NOT go there.
Vian the series (Vietnam YouTube ) ep 11-12fin - terrible ending, he turned back into a cat and the whole thing was pointless. I am very annoyed. 4/10 FATALLY FLAWED 
Tumblr media
It’s airing but ...
Stay With Me ... NO I WILL NOT! And you can’t make me.
In case you missed it
Stay (Pinoy YouTube) finished its run at 7 eps. It’s mostly English & set in LA (shudder) so I did not bother. I say little to no chatter about this (that’s normal with the Pinoy stuff tho). Did anyone watch and enjoy? 
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
Coming August 2023
8/1 Stay Still (Hong Kong Tues YouTube) 5 eps - Yes we have had BL from Hong Kong before, but that was... before... who knows what it’ll be like now. Hayden, moves into a new apartment and starts a complicated relationship with his neighbor’s grandson, Damien, after an unexpected kiss. Meanwhile: Archie rekindles a romance with his high school sweetheart, Kelvin, who is now married.
8/11 Love Class Season 2 (Korea Fri Viki) 10 eps - Hyun, Minwoo and Joo-Hyuk are looking forward to their freshman year at college. But trials and tribulations of love that await them outside the classroom: from learning about maturity to being unable to forget the scars of past lovers. (All new cast from season 1.) 
8/12 My Personal Weatherman AKA Taikan Yoho (Japan Sat ????) 8 eps - hum. 
8/19 Love in Translation (Thai Sat One31) ? eps - Two strangers start working in a cafe together.
8/20 My Universe series begins (Thai Sun iQIYI) 24 episodes - This is sampler pack BL, 12 pairs, each pair gets 2 episodes, not entirely sure on the order they’ll drop in. Known couples include EarthBank from Destiny Seeker and KaownahTurbo from Love Stage!!!, mostly fresh faces otherwise. Jane to direct several. 
8/22 Kisseki: Dear to Me formerly known as Miracle (Taiwan Tues ????) 13 eps - From screenwriter Lin Pei Yu (We Best Love, H3: Trapped) features a student doctor forced to take care of a gangster. I love the premise and like the writer, I’m thinking Viki or Gaga will get this one.  
8/24 Man Suang (Thailand movie domestic cinemas) - historical drama about Thai burlesque with KP’s MileApo. Tong is in this one too? 
8/? Sing My Crush previously Follow The Wind (Korea ????) 8 eps - supposed to have released in the first half of 2022 this is a adaption of Myung’s webtoon, from the director of My Sweet Dear, and the Love Tractor production house, looks like Korea does About Youth.
8/? Why R U? (Korean remake)  is supposed to be out this month, filming started in sept 22. I find everything about this hilarious. I mean if Korea remakes it, we lose all the sexy and then... would we have a story at all? No we would not. Not even for six short eps. It’d be like one of those mesh shopping bags. 
We can probably expect a new BL from GMMTV too, to slot into BMF’s spot mid month. 
2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)
THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS
Tumblr media
I do love a hyung romance, and this aggressive ghost-ish thing is working for me. (Low Frequency) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hidden Agenda + My Ride. 
Tumblr media
So coy
Tumblr media
I agree with @heretherebedork​ that these two make a great side couple but I am utterly in love with...
Tumblr media
HER. (All Laws of Attraction.)

TEASER — GRIPPED - LN4
Tumblr media
oc x lando norris / rom-com style fic/smau
Coca Cola and Jack Daniels bring Lando, Oscar and the reserve drivers to a beach bar in Miami over their winter break, the goal is to film a short film ad for the next Miami GP. However, the set is disrupted when a tungsten light comes undone, the Key Grip Roxanne Powell is quick on her feet and saves Lando's ass by taking the hit. Landing in true romcom fashion, straddling his waist. This accidentally makes an unlikely connection between one of the top Formula One drivers, who takes all the fame and glory for his team, and a girl whose work is hardly ever credited to herself.
warnings/notes: cursing, injury (burns/bruising, not described in any detail), this is the most self-indulgent fic ever, I use many film terms
--
“Breaking!” I call, hands finding the knob of the mambo stand as I start to pull down one of the silks. I can feel the heat of the lights besides me on my arms, my usual outfit of my tight Under Armor shirt and baggy black cargos. Working behind the scenes means not being seen, and all black was usually the way to go. I duck as I slip the clamp out of the stand, handing over the old silk and replacing it with the reflector. No more diffusion, the light was too dark, so I hoped the reflector would help defuse the light still, but keep the light relatively the same brightness.
“Yo, Roxie, one of these lights safety chains slipped out!” Jason, my right hand man, calls to me and I nod. Once I have the reflector slotted in I turn, looking back to where he’s pointing at one of our precariously balanced tungsten lights. The safety chains had been weak, something I knew and was a little pissy about, but seeing that not only the chain had broken, the shitty scissor clamps that held it up were loose, I could see the light shaking as Jason tried to reattach the safety.
“One second!” I shout over my shoulder, noticing how close the director is blocking talent to the light and I whistled for another grip to grab what I'm holding. That light is a tungsten, if that hits someone, namely the two McLaren drivers who stand below it, it’ll hurt like hell--and it’ll burn like hell too.
“Cassie, lock this, quick.” I say as she steps up in my place. I reach a hand behind my belt to grab my leather gloves and I hear the scissor clamp creak and slip, I jump off the stand I'm on, dropping my gloves in the rush and telling myself I'll deal with the burns later.
“Move! Move!” I shout, and the two drivers look at me like deer in headlights as I sprint forward. I throw one arm up to block the light as I shove the curly haired guy to the ground, accidentally falling on top of him as in my panic, I somehow manage to catch the now half broken light.
“Are you okay?!” We both ask at the same time, and now I look down, half straddling the talent—a light held tightly in my hands as my arm singes in pain. I check the light, which has become unplugged, and note that luckily nothing seems broken other than the glass. Which I can see on the floor by my knee.
“Yeah.” We breathe out at the same time and I curse, setting the light down on the concrete as I stand up, offering the talent my hand. He takes it, slowly standing up as people swarm asking if we're okay. It's a freak accident, the clamp should've held up fine, but now its broken structure crunches under my boots.
"Oh! Your arm!" The guy says, and I catch his last name on his jacket--Norris, as he grabs my arm and tilts me from the wrist so he can look. My arm is red, no doubt already swelling from the burn and bruising.
"I'll survive." I say to him softly, and his eyes meet mine. His eyes are stunning, I note, the different shades of bright color pulling me in--before the director is asking me if I need to go to the hospital or something. I shake off Norris and his pretty face and shake my head no.
"I'm just gonna clean it up, it's mostly burnt so it needs air. And, Cassie and Jacob, can you go find a c-stand to put the light back up? If it's still working." I look over my shoulder at my subordinates and they nod, radioing to the truck as I look over my arm again.
"Thanks." Norris breathes besides me and I turn to look up at him.
"Yeah," I notice the flush on his cheeks, "No problem, pretty boy."

The next are Monty and Roxy!
I decided to put them both in one post bc there isn't much to tell about Monty's redesign, i was mostly focusing on writing him as a character
Okay, so, Monty
💚i changed the pattern on his pants bc a gator wearing gator-leather pants was bumming me out
💜i also gave him this goofy vest and a shirt. Judging by that cut-out from Ruin, Monty was a dreamy and sweet country boy from the bayou or something 😂 before he became a Glamrock. I kinda wanted to make Monty look closer to his previous self
Roxanne
❤️instead of... Whatever was the bottom of her original outfit, I gave Roxy loose sporty shorts with racing checkered pattern. The top is pretty much the same, mb not that tight though
💜i tried to get rid of colour black in her design. To me, black looked kinda messy and not friendly, especially combined with red. So i replaced almost all black details with different shades of purple (her fur, darkest parts of her outfit, makeup) The most annoying part of Roxy's design to me were those stripes on her cheeks. And probably her thicccc black eyebrows. Turns out the problem was only with the colour. Cuz i changed it to purple and oh, Roxy already looked so much better. I only kept black in the checkered racing patterns bc they're supposed to be like black black
💚she has a racer's jacket now. Originally it was supposed to be her jacket from that big mural at Roxy's Raceway but it is red and black just like her top and shorts, so i had to change the colours.
🩷🩵 Roxy has a trans flag on her jacket, bc Roxy is the replacement of Foxy who is a boy. I thought it would be fitting to make Roxy a transfem in my redesign

I love Kitty so much and I never realized it😭 I just love the way you portray his carelessness and wilderness. Can I request something about him helping muse get out of her comfort zone/challenging her to bring out the wild in her too
Salvaje
Arturo '' Kitty '' Paez x female!reader (use of spanish female pet names, you are wearing a skirt, mention of drug use/alcool, beating someone up, the usual for the show), 2309 words
a/n : Another Kitty fic for the fam 😌 i am begging plz someone get on the Kitty Paez gif train, I am this close to paying @yourlocalspacewitxch and yall know that means i'm having a mental breakdown
As always it's the fictional, not the real deal, enjoy xx
Tumblr media
‘’ Ven pa' cá. ‘’ Arturo looks up to you as you stand in front of him, raising his beer to his lips ‘’ Sit with me. ‘’
On his lap he means, you can never seem to be able to sit on a chair when he’s in the room. His embrace is inviting, legs spread on the leather booth, his shirt slightly unbuttoned. It’s for the style, mami, he always says, It’s not church day today, is it?
‘’There are other people in the room, Arturo. ‘’ you scold him.
The music is loud around you, flashes of blue and pink lights spreading around the floors and across your face. It is always a bit too public for your liking, when he pulls you down to him and tucks you to his chest, runs his hand on your thigh,
‘’ They won’t tell your mom we had sex before marriage if that’s what you’re scared of. ‘’
‘’ ¡Ay! That’s not it, grosero. ‘’ you cry out, eyes wide. After a minute, you cave in with a sigh, falling down next to him.
Saying no to him has proven time and time again to be difficult because you did want to sit on his lap most of the time. His arm moves around you, fingers wrapping around your hair, playing with the strands. His thigh is warm against yours. It tugs at your chest but you still do it, stretching your legs over his lap, sliding a bit closer to his side.
‘’ You know you don’t have to if you don’t want to. ‘’
You had never been the most outgoing person, preferring to stay in your routine, the things you knew and could stick to, never one for public affection. That is until you started going out with Arturo Paez of all people,
‘’ I know. ‘’ your fingers caress his jaw, ‘’ I don’t mind it tonight. ‘’
His eyes look at you over his glasses, questioning, laughing. He always knows. You roll your eyes, pushing his head away from yours with a laugh,
‘’ Alright, alright, I feel so fucking exposed right now. This skirt is way too short. ‘’
He kisses his teeth, smiling as he tugs the material down your thighs a bit,
‘’ I mean, it does look super hot and long enough in my opinion. I can give you my jacket if you want? ‘’
You shake your head, taking a beer from the table. When you first met him, you thought nothing good would come out of it. In a way, Arturo was everything you weren’t, and what you believed was going to be a summer fling, rapidly turned more serious as the weeks went on. For someone so careless, he did take great care in respecting your boundaries and making sure everyone around you did the same,
‘’ I’m good, guapo. I wanted to wear it, I’ll tough it out. ‘’
You take a sip from your beer, looking around. The second floor of Roxanne always seemed to be the place everyone would end up. You didn’t mind it, free drinks, good company, and the once-in-a-while heart attack while trying to keep Arturo out of fights. I won’t let them talk to you like that, he always shouts, throat raw and sunglasses on the floor. He tends to be quick with his fists, your man, and as much as you wish you could be there every time to stop the blood from spilling, you know it is simply impossible.
You feel your legs slip from his lap as he stands up. He makes sure to pull your skirt down one more time before straightening up,
‘’ You want something else to drink? This tastes like piss. ‘’
You snort, pushing the bottle into his hand for him to dispose of,
‘’ Please, I’ve never had a beer this disgusting ever. ‘’
‘’ I don’t even know why you always take one anyway,‘’ he retorts with a smile.
‘’ When in ‘dumb boys who only drink piss-tasting beer’ territory, do as the dumb boys do. ‘’
He laughs, taking your chin between his fingers, teasing.
‘’ I’m pretty sure this is not how the saying goes, mami. ‘’
Your hand presses against his stomach, pushing him away playfully. The smile on your face is wide and genuine. There’s something intimate about the moment as if the music slowed down and the lights stopped throbbing,
‘’ I’m pretty sure you don’t even know what the saying even is. ‘’
He mocks your words back to you, brown eyes rolling behind his shades,
‘’ You want that cocktail, sí o no? ‘’
You nod, keeping your mouth shut this time as you watch him disappear into the crowd. Months ago you would have stayed home on a Saturday night, you were content those days, alone and with few friends, doing your thing. You are still as content now as you were back then, when Arturo picks you up in the middle of the night, throwing rocks at your window, when he tells you to jump in the pool with him, telling you the owners are not coming home for weeks as he pulls on your bikini straps,
‘’ You’re Kitty’s girlfriend, right? ‘’
There are new legs in front of you, tight jeans and unlaced running shoes. Far from the colorful slacks and polo shirts you are used to seeing,
‘’ I guess you could say that,‘’ you answer back, looking up.
You have met him before, at another party, again all tight pants and unkempt shoes. You can’t remember his name, as much as you try, but you do remember Ramon telling you that he didn’t like him. Untrustworthy, he had said, a rat that would sell us out the second they come knocking. You didn’t realize what he was talking about at the time. They do let him hang out once in a while, something about ‘a big pool’ and ‘free shots’. His eyes are fixed on you, unmoving, glazed,
‘’ You guess? ‘’
Whatever fun you had is now long gone. You take a deep breath, he is way more in your personal space than you had realized. He is a man your age, you can tell, pupils blown, drugged out on god knows what, and with the confidence of a madman,
‘’ I would leave me alone if I were you. ‘’
He takes a step forward, knees bumping into yours. Your tongue rolls in your mouth, don’t bite, that’s what he wants, don’t do it. You can tell how sweaty he is from your seat, nose twitching,
‘’ Why? Cause he’s scary and all? ‘’
His fingers reach out, grabbing your cheek as if scolding a child, lips curling in anger. You shake his hand off,
‘’ Pendejo, I’ll tell you once, step back- ‘’
‘’ You think I’m scared of him?! ‘’
This feels personal at this point. You can tell. Whatever this is, whoever you are, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about Arturo, Kitty. You are not sure how it happens, how your fingers wrap around an empty beer bottle laying on the table, how the words coming out of your mouth sound so menacing, so not you,
‘’ Me tocas otra vez, and I’ll kill you. ‘’
He takes a step forwards and the bottle smashes the right side of his head, shards of glass flying around, biting into your skin. The movement is swift, precise, bullseyes. The music doesn’t stop, but the people around you do, standing still, waiting for what comes next. The boy hasn’t moved yet, head on the side, blood dripping down his face. That shut him up for sure. You didn’t miss how Ramon stood up from his chair in the corner of the room, darting toward you. What you did miss was how fast Arturo crossed the few meters separating you, smashing your cocktail at the boy’s feet. His hands wrap around the boy’s collar as he tosses him over the lounge table like a ragdoll,
‘’ Why the fuck you got your hands on my girl, hijo de la chingada- ‘’
Arturo raises him up by the shirt and slams him back down against the glass table, beer bottles rolling off the edge,
‘’ Why is it always you causing problems? ‘’ he shouts. His grip is firm, eyes wide, teeth clenched, ‘’ You didn't get the message last time, asshole? Had to try and get my girl involved too, hm? ‘’
You had seen your man fight before, how he spilled blood, how his blood got spilled. Never had you seen his knuckles so white, his shoulders so tense, his eyes so dark. You can already taste blood in your mouth before his fist hits the boy’s face, once, twice. His sunglasses are slipping down his nose more and more each time,
‘’ Arturo, please, ‘’ You take a step forward putting a hand in the middle of his back, your palm hurts at the pressure, bleeding. You don’t want this, you think, this is too much, ‘’ Bring me home, I just want to go home. ‘’
You can almost hear him breathing over the music, heavy and deep, using all the self-restraint he can muster. A minute goes by and you have to pull at his shirt, damp with sweat, to catch his attention. Silently begging him once more to let go. He steps away with a groan, pushing away whatever is left of the man. He turns to you, chains swinging, tangled.
Arturo grabs your forearm, his hand is soft on your skin, not tight, not tugging you away like you had expected, gently pulling you to the stairs out of the club. He gives Ramón a look on the way out, grunting a half-apology, half-he-deserved-it speech. His friend just stands there as others slowly start cleaning up after him, you know Ramón won’t accept his apology, as in his eyes there is nothing to apologize for.
The walk back to the car is silent. You can tell Arturo is still boiling with anger, unspent rage waiting to be used. You follow him still, whispering a soft thank you as he opens the door to the car for you. The leather seat is cold under your thighs and your eyes look out to him through the window, he stands still, hands perched on either side of the rooftop.
He is looking up at the club, lips pursed, biting his tongue. Don’t do it, you think, get in the car with me. After a few seconds, he does, pushing himself straight, walking to the driver’s side,
‘’It wasn’t worth it, ‘’ you tell him as he starts the car, ‘’ to go back and finish this. ‘’
He keeps breathing, in and out, hands tightening around the wheel every once in a while. His arm leans behind your seat as he rolls out of the parking lot. He glances at you for a moment, but still, he doesn’t speak.
You take a look at your right hand, there are no shards of glass stuck, but even if the blood has dried out in some places, it still hurts when you close your fist,
‘’ Is it bad? ‘’ he breathes out after a moment.
‘’ It’s fine, most of the glass ended up in his face anyway. ‘’
That makes him crack a smile, barely there, just the corner of his cheek pulling up. His eyes soften as he looks at you, for the first time since leaving the club,
‘’ Will you let me take care of it when we get home? ‘’
You look back at him, softly pressing your left hand at the base of his neck, caressing the shaved hair,
‘’ Of course. ‘’
His hand finds your thigh, resting it gently on the skin,
‘’ I didn’t mean to make you… uncomfortable, you know? ‘’
You sigh, your own hand falling back onto your lap. You play again with the dried blood on your hand, pulling at it. It scared the shit out of you, is what happened. You are not blind, you know what Arturo and his friends do when you are not around, you see the guns peaking out of their jeans and how the coke that they pass around is definitely from its original packaging. You are not blind, but you do care for him,
‘’ I just don’t want you to get hurt, is all. ‘’ you turn to him, forcing a smile on your lips, ‘’ I like your pretty face untouched, I can’t bring a scarface back to my parents’ house. ‘’
He scoffs as he leans forward and pinches your thigh. You squeal, pushing his hand away,
‘’ Don’t do that! ‘’
‘’ You really smashed a bottle on his head? ‘’
‘’ I- ‘’ you laugh, forcing his hand to stay on his lap, ‘’ I did. ‘’
‘’ I knew they said going out with me was bringing out your wild side, but, mami, that shit’s wild wild. ‘’
You roll your eyes, ‘’ It’s not like I’m an outlaw all of the sudden. I was just defending myself, I’ll let you know. ‘’
‘’ Well, next time you let that to me, hm? ‘’
‘’ I will be calling the police first. I am not bailing you out again. ‘’
He groans as he brings your hand up to his mouth, pressing a kiss to the skin,
‘’ You really are no fun. I’m here trying to be romantic- ‘’
He rabbles away, like he always does, about this and that, how it ‘happen only one time’, that he ‘paid you back’. You never thought Arturo and you would work this well together, a weird match, out of god knows where. You don’t mind it, you think, you can take it. The wild, the blood, the crazy.
As long as you're with him.

The Dunes | e.m.
A/N: Reposting this because I tweaked the ending a lil bit... hehe. Also, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” didn’t come out until 1979, so (realistically), you and Eddie would’ve been almost in high school by the time it came out and, therefore, would not have spent your whole childhood singing along to it. However, it’s my (midwestern) family’s road-trip anthem so I had to include it. Thank you @chainsawmunson for beta-reading this!!! Ily <3

“It’s this exit, right, bunny?” Eddie asks.
“Um,” you pause to look down at the map and then up at the road signs ahead. “Yeah, this one,” you confirm. 
Eddie merges into the correct lane as he resumes his solo performance of Creeping Death, strumming his calloused thumbs along the worn leather of the steering wheel like it’s the strings of his beloved guitar. 
“How close are we now, bug?” Eddie asks. 
You check the map before replying, “54-ish miles.” 
Eddie huffs out a brief chuckle, “Ish?” 
“Yeah, it could be 53 or 54, but it’s definitely not more than 55,” you explain while grinning cheekily. 
“Dude, you’re a horrible navigator,” Eddie teases. 
“Hey, I told you we should’ve brought the guys with us,” you say defensively, though there’s no real bite behind your words. 
“This is probably gonna be our last vacation together, bug, so excuse me for wanting to spend some one-on-one time with my favorite person in all of Indiana,” Eddie remarks dryly. 
“Oh, I didn’t realize Roxanne had finally moved to Chicago,” you tease, referencing the bartender from the Hideout that you suspect he’s had the hots for since Corroded Coffin first started playing there last fall. Not that you’d blame him for being attracted to her; she’s everyone’s type. Roxy may very well be ten years your senior, but she looks like she hopped straight out of the pages of one of Eddie’s Heavy Metal magazines; as a bottle blonde with tan skin, long, slender legs, heaving breasts, and an affinity for red leather, she’s the very definition of the beauty standard.
Eddie rolls his eyes and reaches across the console to gently shove your shoulder as he grumbles, “Shut up.” 
You giggle at his response, but the joyous sound dies in your throat when you remember something Eddie had said previously. 
“Grub, why would this be our last vacation together?” You ask curiously. 
“Because, Jitterbug,” he sighs before continuing, “in a couple of weeks, you’ll be off in Michigan, meeting all sorts of cool people who are into all the same stuff as you, and you’ll forget all about little ole me,” Eddie explains, feigning lightheartedness as he does so. 
“Eddie-” You begin to refute his assumptions, but he soon interrupts. 
“Bunny, it’s fine, really. I mean, we always knew this was gonna happen; you’d go off to some amazing university after high school, and, for one reason or another, I’d have to stay behind in Hawkins. I just wanna soak up the last little bit of time we have together, okay?” 
“Eddie,” you sigh, moving your hand to rest on Eddie’s thigh, only to immediately remove it when you feel his muscles tense underneath your palm. “Eddie,” you start again, this time without the physical contact, “you’re an idiot if you think that moving a couple hundred miles away is really gonna be enough to make me forget about you. Seriously, I can’t even go a week without talking to you. What do you think I’ve been saving up all that change in my piggy bank for? It’s so I have enough quarters to call your dumbass while I’m away at school,” you reassure him while also teasing him a bit to lighten the mood. 
“And here I thought you were saving up to win me that stuffed elephant from the claw machine at Benny’s,” Eddie jests, and you snort at the thought. 
“That thing’s been in there since we were ten, otter. I don’t think winning it is even possible,” You reply. Eddie’s heart flutters fondly at your childhood petname for him, one that even predates Grub, inspired by the time you’d watched a seven-year-old Eddie consume a dozen Otterpops one hot July afternoon.
Eddie grins, “Maybe not for you; you suck at claw machines.”
You scoff, “Dick.” 
“I know you are, but what am I?” Eddie responds immaturely while the both of you fight off matching amused smirks. 
Eddie covertly glances at you out of the corner of his eyes, a bittersweet feeling stirring in his chest. He misses you already, and you haven’t even left yet. Pathetic, he thinks. 
Soon enough, the next track on Eddie’s road trip mixtape begins to play, and a grin lights up your features as the sound of Charlie Daniels’s voice fills the entire van. 
Eddie begins to sing along to The Devil Went Down to Georgia, the song the two of you had spent the better half of your childhoods singing along to, thanks to Wayne. And just like that, any and all thoughts of your impending departure are gone. 
Tumblr media
Just a little under an hour later, the two of you arrive at Dunewood. After an essential stop at the campground’s convenience store for some ice cream sandwiches, you’re ready to set up camp. You and Eddie have come here every summer since you were small, but it’s different this time. This time, it’s just you and Eddie, as Wayne couldn’t come along due to a busy schedule at work. Getting up here was quite a feat given that Beverly Shores is quite a ways away from Hawkins and that, between the two of you, you guys have absolutely zero sense of direction once you get out of Hawkins. However, unpacking your equipment and setting up camp should be a breeze, as you both have prior experience with setting all of this crap up, thanks to the fact that Wayne always made the two of you help him set up camp. 
Although, what should be the case and what actually is the case, apparently, aren’t always aligned. 
“Dude, are you helping me or what?” You huff out frustratedly as you attempt to haul the packed-away tent out of the back of Eddie’s van on your own. Meanwhile, your less-than-helpful best friend is reclining in the front seat, still munching away on his melting ice cream sandwich. The sticky sweet ice cream is dripping down onto his beloved Black Sabbath band tee, making a mess in a way that might be goofily adorable if he were a toddler, but, alas, he’s a man, a messy man, but a man nonetheless. 
“Mhm, yeah, I’ll be there in a second,” he replies nonchalantly before turning up the radio’s volume as if attempting to drown out the sounds of your complaining with Rob Halford’s eerie growls. He begins to headbang to the rowdy music, further solidifying that he will not get out of the van to help you anytime soon. 
You groan exasperatedly as you lug the heavy tent closer to the stone fire pit while managing to keep it a reasonable distance from where a hearty fire will rage on later in the night. As you squat down to unzip the bag the tent is kept in for storage, you unknowingly bless your dear best friend with a marvelous view of your denim-clad ass, the fat there causing the fabric to strain to the point where it looks as if your favorite pair of jean shorts may rip right along the tight seam. 
As he finishes off the last of his ice cream sandwich, Eddie resists the urge to continue ogling you, instead averting his gaze and opting to focus all of his attention on staring aimlessly out the windshield of his van while thinking about truly horrid shit in an attempt to prevent a tent of his own from forming in his jeans. Fortunately, that tried and true strategy never fails him. Unfortunately, it does require him to think about the time he had to dissect a fetal pig in junior-year biology; if Eddie thinks about it for too long, he swears he can still smell the formaldehyde along with the scent of his lab partner’s raging B.O. 
Once Eddie’s reigned his inner horndog back in, he turns the key in the van’s ignition, fully turning off the vehicle, before climbing out of the driver’s seat to finally offer you some help with setting up camp. 
“Alright, alright,” Eddie huffs humorously, “Give that to me before you break it,” he teases, referring to the poles of the tent that you’re trying to snap together. You briefly pause your attempts to glare at him. 
“I’m not gonna break it, asshole,” you reply bitterly before finally managing to snap the pieces together. Once you do so, you look up at Eddie and fix him with a victorious grin. 
“Why don’t you start the fire so we can eat dinner when we finish setting up all this stuff?” You suggest before fixing your friend with a mischievous smile and continuing, “Leave the hard stuff to the men, sugar.” 
Eddie scoffs at your teasing but heeds your request nonetheless, going to fetch the firewood your dad had reluctantly given him, some logs cut from the unfortunate trees that weren’t good enough to sell at the farm this past Christmas season. 
“Leave the hard stuff to the men, sugar,” he mumbles in a silly tone, clearly mocking you as he grabs a couple of logs from the van, causing you to cackle. Eddie scowls and blushes, mildly embarrassed as he wasn’t aware that you could hear his mockery from your spot across the campsite. The expression on his face only makes you laugh harder, and you don’t stop until Eddie gets petulant and throws one of the towels he’d brought for the beach at you. 
After that playful spat, you both fall into a comfortable silence, too concentrated on your respective tasks to hold a conversation with each other. It isn’t until Eddie has successfully set up the fire and starts getting the food you’d both prepared ahead of time out that either one of you speaks again.
“Hey, Grub?” You call out to him from your spot near the still partially unassembled tent. Eddie responds with a soft hum as he continues to rifle through the cooler he’d filled with food and drinks. 
“Don’t put the food on yet. The tent’s still not ready yet,” you inform him. 
Eddie then shuts the cooler with an annoyed huff, leaving the food inside the chilled box as he comes over to join you. 
“It would be if you would’ve just let me take care of it,” he nags as he squats down to help you finish setting up the tent. 
You scoff, “Yeah, right, it would’ve taken you twice the amount of time just to figure out how to put this shit together simply because you refuse to read instruction manuals.” 
“Incorrect,” Eddie defends himself, “it would’ve taken me half the time to put this shit together because I wouldn’t have wasted so much time reading the pointless instructions.” 
“Says the man who just put our rainfly on before the tent body,” you tease as you stand up and strip the bright blue fabric off the tent. 
“Does it really matter what order we put this shit on? I mean, so long as it’s on there, we’re good, right?” Eddie asks, standing up with his hands on his hips as he assesses the situation, discerning what’s left to do. The shit-eating grin on his face tells you he’s not being serious and is just trying to rile you up by being intentionally obtuse. So, rather than dignify his question with an answer, you simply fix him with an annoyed glare and then attempt to put the tent body on by yourself. Eddie chuckles at your terse expression as he begins to help you. 
Finally, a few moments later, the two of you have set up your tent, leaving you to put your sleeping bags and pillows inside and set up the chairs near the fire as Eddie gets to work on cooking up a couple of foil burgers over the fire; a Munson family recipe and camping essential that’s really nothing more than a beef patty resting on top of a bed of potatoes and a few veggies inside a tinfoil cocoon. 
You still remember the first time you’d had such a delicacy during your first camping trip with the Munsons. You were absolutely ravenous, having just got back to camp with Wayne and Eddie after spending all day at the beach, your hair still wet from swimming around in the chilly waters of Lake Michigan and the baby tooth you’d lost while wrestling around in the sand with Eddie nestled in the patch pocket of Wayne’s flannel. As a result of your profound hunger, the easy dinner Wayne had prepared for the three of you tasted like the single greatest thing you’d ever eaten in all your eight years of life. Although, even now, when you finally bite into your burger after Eddie gets done making them, hungry but not at all starving thanks to the sweet treat you’d wolfed down earlier, that simple dish still tastes like one of the most delicious things you’ve ever eaten, the gooey cheese coating your tongue as you munch away happily. 
As for Eddie, he seems to agree about the delectableness of the foil burgers if the moan he emits as he bites into his burger is any indication. You giggle at the sound, feeling your cheeks heat up all the while. Always so dramatic, you think fondly. 
“We’ve really outdone ourselves this time, bug,” Eddie declares. You hum your agreement as you bite into a crispy chunk of potato. 
“The dried rosemary was a good touch. Where’d you get that anyways?” You ask him once you’ve swallowed your bite of starchy goodness. 
He grins around his mouthful of food, “Stole a jar of it from the pantry at Gareth’s place after I got done fixin’ the kitchen sink for his mom yesterday.” 
“Eddie!” You scold him. 
“What? I’ll bring it back Saturday when we have band practice. Lorraine’ll never even know it was missing,” he reasons. 
You simply shake your head at him disapprovingly while trying to fight off an amused smile, “You’ve gotta get those sticky fingers in check, Grub.” 
Tumblr media
Later in the night, as you both lounge in your tent, sharing a joint to help you relax before you go to sleep, your mind races with fretful thoughts about going to college in a few weeks. 
“Eds,” you softly call out from just beside him, your head resting on his shoulder and his on yours as you lay with your bodies extended in opposite directions. 
“Yeah, bug?”
“No one’s ever- I haven’t had my first kiss yet,” you confess, your inhibitions lowered as the high sets in. 
Eddie snorts a laugh, amused by your randomness rather than your inexperience, “Yeah, I know, Jitterbug.” 
“What if I meet someone at school, and they kiss me?” You worry aloud. Eddie’s chest tightens at the thought, but he does his best to ignore it. 
“Then you’ll have your first kiss, duh,” he remarks simply as if the mere thought of you kissing someone - anyone - but him doesn’t make him want to cry and hurl simultaneously. 
“Yeah, I know, but what if it’s bad because… because I don’t know what I’m doing?” You ask, after rolling over to look into his doe eyes, your face hovering above his as your arms hold you up above him. Your breath smells like Kraft singles and Skunk #1, but Eddie can’t find it in himself to care; he’s just happy to have you so close to him. 
“First kisses are usually bad, silly billy,” Eddie giggles, the powers of the Dutch strain making him giddy even though his heart is aching just from hearing you talk about this shit. 
“But I don’t want mine to be bad,” you reply, your tone bordering on petulant as your brows furrow and your lips pout just slightly, “what if the guy I’m with gets weirded out by how bad I am at it and like never speaks to me ever again?” 
“Then that’s his loss, Jitterbug,” Eddie says without missing a beat. 
You sigh and sit up, shoulders hunching in slightly as you pout. 
“God, what if he does the opposite and tries to, you know, touch me?” You ponder, unintentionally breaking your best friend’s heart. Eddie’s sure that the knowledge of anyone but him touching you like that would devastate him.
“If- if that’s not something you’d be comfortable with, then just tell him,” he reasons. 
“But what if he doesn’t listen to me? My sister says that sometimes guys don’t take ‘no’ for an answer,” you reply, and Eddie’s jaw clenches at the thought. 
“Then I’ll kill him,” Eddie replies genuinely, causing you to burst into a fit of giggles. 
“Grub, you can’t even kill the spider that’s been camped out in your room for the past two weeks,” you tease, and Eddie frowns in response.
“That’s different. Guillermo and I have come to a mutual understanding, he kills the flies, and I don’t kill him,” Eddie replies defensively, and your giggles increase tenfold upon finding out that he’s named the damn thing. 
“You’re adorable, Eddie Bear,” You remark once your giggles have ceased. As you wipe the tears of amusement out of your eyes, you miss the blush that rises to Eddie’s cheeks. 
“Shut up,” he grumbles as he hands you the joint. You accept it gracefully as you take a hit, exhale, and then take another. Meanwhile, Eddie’s mesmerized by the sight of your lips wrapping around the joint, as if it’s a sight he hasn’t seen hundreds of times already. He’s immediately snapped out of his trance when you hand the joint back to him, your fingers brushing against his as you hand it over, still holding in the last puff you’ve taken. 
As you finally exhale your last hit, a brilliant idea comes to mind, or at least one that seems clever in your current state. 
“You should be my first kiss,” you suggest, making Eddie choke on the puff of smoke he’s just inhaled. 
“What? Me?” Eddie asks incredulously in between bouts of coughing. 
“Yeah, if you’re cool with it,” you respond nonchalantly as you grab the joint from him. 
“No, no, no, I think you’ve had enough for tonight, space cadet,” Eddie remarks as he plucks the joint from between your fingertips. 
“How do you feel, bug?” Eddie had asked you the first time you got high. 
“‘M so high, I think I could touch the stars up here,” you’d groaned, making Eddie chuckle. 
“Don’t worry, space cadet, I’ll be your ground control,” he’d reassured you. 
You whine, “Eddie, I’m not even that high.” 
“Of course, you’re not,” Eddie replies sarcastically as he stubs out the joint, opting to save the rest for tomorrow morning. 
“Eddie, it’s okay if you don’t want to,” you say as you timidly pick at the loose threads of your sleeping bag, “kiss me, I mean. It’s okay if you don’t wanna kiss me,” you clarify. 
Eddie sighs, knowing you’re not gonna let this go very easily. His mind races with thoughts of you kissing him, and his heart lurches at the idea that you’d even want to kiss him, but he also knows it’s too good to be true. You don’t actually want this, at least not with him; you’re just high and lonely. You’re too amazing and angelic; you could never want a freak like him, not in the same way he wants you. 
“How about you ask me again in the morning, okay?” Eddie offers placatingly as he climbs into his sleeping bag, saying anything he can to get you to drop this, to stop torturing him. 
Eddie’s not leaving any room for argument as he rolls over to face the opposite direction before shutting off the lantern. You sigh before climbing into your own sleeping bag and getting comfy. 
“Goodnight, Eddie,” you whisper tentatively, worrying that you’ve upset him. 
“Goodnight, bunny.” 
Tumblr media
The following day is awkward, to say the least. The fresh air the wooded campground provides is nice, or it would be if it wasn’t filled with unbearable tension thanks to last night’s events. 
Eddie won’t even look at you, hasn’t spared you so much as a single glance since the two of you first woke up at around 9 a.m., nearly two hours ago. Granted, he’s not being outwardly hostile or anything like that. Instead, Eddie just won’t look at you, won’t speak to you in more than short sentences and noncommittal hums, and hasn’t touched you at all since last night when his fingers brushed yours as you exchanged the shared joint repeatedly. Usually, he would’ve talked your ear off about some new music by now, most likely the new Metallica album, or even about the latest drama plaguing the Hellfire club; surprisingly, a lot of juicy gossip comes out of that group. If the present circumstances were normal, Eddie also would’ve definitely exploited the many unintentional openings you’d given him this morning by tackling you to the ground or putting you in a half-nelson by now. However, he hasn’t done either of those things and, if his tense body language is anything to go off of, you figure he probably won’t be doing any of those things any time soon. How strange is it that you’ve begun to miss how Eddie playfully wrestles with and pesters you? How pathetic is it that you’ve started to yearn for how he carelessly flings you around like a ragdoll in an ornery display of his shocking strength?
“What time are we heading to the beach?” You ask meekly as you continue to pick at the Zingers Eddie had gotten you from the campground’s convenience store earlier this morning. At least he’d still gone out of his way to get your favorite breakfast-adjacent junk food. That had to be a good sign, right? 
“Dunno,” he replies gruffly and then shrugs his shoulders as he takes another puff of his cigarette, his gaze still fixed on the sparse grass beneath his Reeboks. 
“Maybe we could head out there in like an hour?” You suggest, your tone still timid and unsure, “That way, we could grab lunch on the way there. I just- I don’t think three Zingers will hold me over for the rest of the day. Not that I don’t appreciate that you got them for me, because I do! It’s just-”
Eddie cuts you off with another short, gruff response, “Yeah, that’s fine.” 
You frown at his dismissive tone. Had you really pushed things too far last night? Was the idea of kissing you so bad that even the mere suggestion of it had gotten Eddie this upset? 
When you first woke up this morning, you were mortified by the memory of what you’d said to your friend last night. Now, his sudden indifference toward you only amplifies that feeling of humiliation. 
This is only day two of what’s supposed to be a week-long trip, and you’re not sure if you can survive several more days of this trip, not if things will continue being this tense between you and Eddie. So, you decide to repress your shame in favor of making peace. After all, only a couple weeks after you get home from this trip, your dad will drive you up to Ann Arbor to move into your new dorm room for your first semester at college. You’re unsure if your friendship with Eddie could survive the distance, not with this lingering hostility creating such a harsh divide between you two. 
“Look, Eds,” you sigh, swallowing down what’s left of your pride as you prepare to grovel, to plead for your friendship to remain unchanged after last night’s blunder, “I’m sorry about last night, about asking you to… to kiss me. I mean- fuck- Grub, I’m really sorry for bringing it up and making shit weird between us. I promise I’m not, like, harboring some freakish little crush on you or anything like that. I just- I wanted you to be my first kiss because,” you pause with a quivering sigh, thinking better of your impending confession, “You know what? That doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that I’m sorry, really fucking sorry, and I just wanna go back to the way things were before I said any of that stupid crap, okay? I just wanna enjoy our trip. I wanna have fun doing moronic bullshit in the woods with my best friend, the same way we always do every summer. Do you think we can do that? That we can just go back to the way things were? Please?”
Eddie sighs, dragging the palm of his hand harshly down his face until it reaches his jaw, where it then remains, kneading the muscles there as if to relieve the tension. His soulful brown eyes flicker up to meet yours just briefly before his gaze falls back to the ground. He finally breaks the silence, quietly asking, “Why me? Why d’ya wanna kiss me?” 
The question catches you off guard, so much so that you almost think you’d misheard him when he asked it. You can only think to reply with a surprised, breathy, “What?”
“Why did you want to kiss me, bug?” Eddie reiterates.
Your brows furrow, your nose scrunching up as you ponder and carefully plan your reply, not wanting to give too much away, wanting to keep your cards clutched close to your chest. You finally come up with an honest response and, most importantly, one that omits some of the more embarrassing details. You tug on the inside of your lower lip with your teeth, wriggling the flesh between your incisors, working up the courage to answer his question before sighing and eventually replying, “Because I trust you, Eddie. Because I know you won’t take things too far or do anything to make me uncomfortable.”
Eddie’s leg bounces as he considers your answer. “That’s all?” He asks suddenly, once again catching you off guard. 
“Wha- What d’you mean?” You curiously inquire, wearing your confusion plainly on your features. 
“That’s it? That’s the only reason why?” Eddie questions, his gaze intense, alight with an emotion you can’t place.
“I mean,” you trail off, your leg bouncing in tandem with Eddie’s, though not intentionally. “Yeah, kind of,” you lie. 
Unfortunately, Eddie still doesn’t look entirely convinced, and that makes you nervous. You huff out frustratedly, wringing your hands together and carefully thinking over your words before speaking. 
“Grub, I’m 18 years old, and I’ve never once in my whole life kissed someone, so, yeah, at this point, I’m pretty fucking desperate. Hell, I think I’d kiss just about anyone,” you ramble, slightly exasperated. 
I think I’d kiss just about anyone. 
You don’t mean it as an insult, you don’t mean to hurt Eddie’s feelings, he knows you don’t, but it still stings something fierce. 
“Look, Eds, I don’t wanna make you uncomfortable, so if you’re not-”
Eddie interrupts you, not that he’s truly listening to how you’re trying, in vain, to walk back your previous statements anyways. No, Eddie’s too busy thinking about if he is actually going to go through with this. He bluntly asks, “Just one kiss?” 
Those three words halt you in your tracks, making your breath hitch. You miraculously manage to collect yourself and come up with a coherent response. 
“Yeah,” you reply in a tone that’s gentle and airy, soft and breathy like a sigh, “just one.” 
“I’ll do it,” Eddie swiftly asserts, taking you both by surprise. “I mean, um, I’ll- I’ll help you, but you gotta promise me something first, ’kay?” 
“Yeah, yeah, anything, Grub, of course,” you agree far too eagerly, making a swirling mass of embarrassment sink down heavily into the pit of your stomach. All the while, your voice is still soft and quiet, nothing more than a susurration.
“You gotta promise me you won’t let this change things between us, bug. Okay? I can’t lose-” Eddie cuts himself off with a shaky, anxious exhale, digging the heels of his palms into his eyes as he attempts to reign in his emotions. He wants to tell you that if he ever lost you again, like he did in the summer of 1980, he wouldn’t be able to survive it; Eddie’s not really sure how he survived it last time. However, Eddie’s too afraid to tell you that, too scared of what that implies, and infinitely more scared of how you’d react to that implication. So, he drops his hands from his face, opting to pick at his nail beds to keep his fidgety fingers busy, as he continues, “I’m just helping you out, alright? So, just- You gotta promise that you won’t start acting all weird around me or, um, start avoiding me again, or whatever.” 
You frown at the sentiment, briefly looking back on those two years you’d spent without Eddie in high school. You were an idiot back then, avoiding the one person, the only one of your peers, who’d ever shown you genuine kindness, just because he’d gotten a little mean and said some things that had hurt your feelings during a heated exchange, what’s worse is they were things you’d desperately needed to hear. You gently shake your head as if to rid yourself of any and all memories of that lonely time in your life before looking into Eddie’s eyes and earnestly swearing, “I won’t, Grub. Nothing will change between us, I promise.” 
Things truly won’t change between the two of you; you’ll make sure of that. Eddie will never find out about the love you pathetically harbor for him, and, most importantly, you’ll never shut him out again. Even when he settles down one day with someone who isn’t you, maybe marries them and has a couple kids with them, you’ll still be his best friend, no matter how much it hurts, and you’ll make damn sure that Eddie never finds out how much it hurts you. 
Eddie can hear the unwavering sincerity in your voice, can see it in your gaze, and it makes him smile softly, a warm expression you cannot help but reciprocate. 
“Okay,” he breathes, his tone wavering as he rubs his sweaty palms on the rough denim of his jeans. “Just, um, c’mere… If you want to, I mean,” he stammers awkwardly. You’d probably chuckle at his apparent nervousness if you weren’t feeling the same way right now. Instead, you simply get up out of your lawn chair, rise to your feet, and trek across the short distance between the two of you. You then lower yourself to sit down in the grass in front of Eddie, who promptly lowers his legs, his knees no longer tucked up against his chest as he now sits tailorwise, or criss-cross-applesauce, as you both call it. You sit in the same position, your knees pressed against his own as you mirror him. 
Eddie tentatively leans forward, bridging the gap between you two, as one of his large, warm hands rises to hover over one of your shoulders for a brief moment before he finally gets the courage to lower it so that it rests there. With his other hand, he takes a much bolder step, lifting his arm and hesitantly reaching up to brush his calloused fingertips against the soft, smooth skin of your cheek before finally cupping it in his palm. 
“Is this okay?” He asks you quietly, like he’s afraid that speaking more loudly than a mere whisper will frighten you and scare you off. You nod your affirmative as your hands slowly move forward to rest on his denim-clad thighs, just above his knees. That contact makes Eddie’s breath hitch, but you both elect to ignore it for reasons unbeknownst to each other. 
Eddie then leans in further, his bulbous nose gently brushing against yours with purpose, effectively warning you and giving you a chance to stop him. However, you do the opposite. “Eds, please, kiss me,” you whisper. 
It’s all the encouragement Eddie needs. He closes the gap between the two of you, his lips finally meeting yours. You try to reciprocate as best as you can, but you’re, admittedly, a little lost. You’re overthinking things, Eddie can tell. He pulls away far sooner than he would’ve liked to and then presses a comforting kiss to the corner of your mouth, by one of your smile lines that he loves so much. 
“I wasn’t good, was I?” You grimace, your forehead still resting against his. “Please, you can tell me. I just wanna know what to do, Ott.” 
Eddie licks his lips before hesitantly replying, “When you, um,” he clears his throat, “the next time that you kiss someone, try not to purse your lips so much,” he winces, both at the thought of you kissing someone else and out of fear that he’s been too harsh. 
“I thought that’s what you’re supposed to do when you kiss someone?” Eddie thinks your puzzled expression is far too adorable to be legal. 
“You are! You are, a little bit, I mean. Just not quite so much; you gotta relax your um- your mouth a little bit,” Eddie blushes, thoroughly flustered. As usual, you’re oblivious to his plight, too caught up in your own mind. 
Your brows furrow as you stare at his chin absentmindedly, mind racing a million miles an hour all the while, “S-so how much should I purse them then?” 
Eddie thinks it over. “It’s hard to explain,” he sighs. 
“Could you, you know, show me?” You ask. “I mean, if you’re comfortable kissing me again.” 
Little do you know, Eddie would gladly give up both of his kidneys if it meant he got to kiss you again. Needless to say, he’s pretty stoked that he gets to do it without having to endure a double nephrectomy. 
He nods, answering wordlessly, before leaning in again, connecting your lips once more. You make sure to pay attention to what he’s doing, to how it feels, so you can mirror it. You relax your mouth a bit, your lips not quite as pursed as before, and Eddie sighs his approval. That sound sets your whole body alight with tingly, little fireworks.
You both get caught up in the moment, in the feeling of finally acting on the desires you’ve both spent years repressing. Consequently, when Eddie nips at your bottom lip, and you respond with a gasp that he can only describe as sinful, he doesn’t even try to resist the urge to take advantage of the momentary part in your lips. You pull back abruptly, primarily out of shock, when you feel his tongue slip through the gap. Eddie winces at the loss. 
“Shit, sorry,” he apologies gruffly, comfortingly rubbing your upper arms on instinct, soothing you. 
You let out an easy, breathy giggle as you ease back into his space, resting your forehead gently against his own. “It’s okay. You surprised me, that’s all. Just, um, warn me next time, okay?” 
Warmth blossoms in both of your chests at the thought of getting to kiss each other again. Eddie lets out a gentle chuckle of his own as he moves his other hand up to cup your other cheek, feeling the warmth alight beneath the soft skin there too.
“Next time?” Eddie questions with a nervous grin, mentally berating himself for daring to question you because, in his eyes, you’re practically offering your lips up to him on a silver platter, and he’s about to make you second guess that monumental decision. 
“Yeah,” you let out the prettiest little sigh, “I feel like I have a lot left to learn, and, well, you seem like a pretty good teacher. I mean, if you don’t mind kissing me again, that is,” you look into his eyes hopefully. Eddie feels his smile grow wider at the sight of your sanguine expression. 
Eddie offers his whispered reassurance while gently nudging the tip of your nose with his own, “I don’t mind.” 
Needless to say, you two won’t make it to the beach today.

Side Note: Please don't feel like you're weird if you're older than 18 and still haven't had your first kiss yet!! I literally haven’t had my first kiss yet and I’m 21 years old. We all do things at our own pace and in our own time, so, trust me, you're not weird at all if you're an adult (of any age) who hasn't been kissed yet!!

Megamind's one of my favorite movies, so I'd like to see Megamind quotes with Monarch as Megamind, Marc as Roxie, Duusu as Minion, Kim as Metroman, Lucien as Hal, and Louis as Bernard
Monarch: *to Marc, exasperated* Let's stop wasting time and call your boyfriend in leggings, shall we?!
Monarch: Oh, you've gotta be KIDDING me! Nooroo, if I live, I will feed you sour stuff.
Monarch: Nooroo, I'm a villain without a hero. A yin with no yang! A bullfighter with no bull to fight! In other words, I have no purpose!
Monarch: *after waiting hours for Lucien to show up* This is EMBARASSING! Wholly inconsiderate, boneheaded, irresponsible, rude, unprofessional... That's what this is! Would Scarlet Beetle have kept me waiting?! Of course not, he was a pro!
Scarlet Beetle: I started to realise, despite all our powers, each and every citizen of Paris had something se didn't: a choice. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had to be what this city wanted me to be. What about what I wanted to do? Then it suddenly hit me - I do have a choice! I can be whatever I want to be! No one said that this hero thing had to be a lifetime gig. But you can't just quit either. That's when I got the brilliant idea... to fake my death!
Marc: *To Nathaniel, who is disguised as Louis and starts to cry* Louis... I-I didn't know you... had... feelings. Are you okay?
Marc: *looking around, while being held captive in Monarch’s lair* Is there some kind of nerdy super-villain website where you get Tesla coils and blinky dials?
Lucien: *after Monarch breaks into his apartment room* Is this a robbery? Because the lady across the hall has way better stuff than me!
Lucien: Hey, losers. This is Scarlet Tower. They say it's supposed to be a symbol of our city's strength, but for me, it's a reminder of the day this guy ferociously ripped out my heart! And I hate reminders!
Marc: Lucien, please don't do this. I know there's still good in you!
Lucien: You're so naive, Emerald. You see the good in everyone, even when it's not there. You're living a fantasy. There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is no Queen of England!
Felix: Blaspehmy!
Lucien: Shut up! This is the real world, and you need to wake up.
*Suddebny, a swarm of Akumas arrive and form Monarch’s head*
Monarch’s head made of Akumas: You dare to challenge ME?!
Lucien: This city isn't big enough for two supervillains!
Monarch’s head made of Akumas: Oh, you're a villain, alright! Just not a SUPER one!
Lucien: Yeah? What's the difference?
*Many of the Akumas disperse and create sort of this curtain, that, when drawn to the side, reveal Monarch in all his glory standing on a platform of Akumas*
Monarch: PRESENTATION!
*Cue fantastic over-the-top lightshow*
Monarch: *on a video screen; threatening Scarlet Beetle* This is a day you and Gay Paris shall not soon forget!
Scarlet Beetle: Why do you keep calling it that?!
Monarch: Ah, potato, tomato, potato, tomato...
Scarlet Beetle: We all know how these ends up- With YOU behind bars!
Monarch: *sarcastically* Oh, I'm shaking in my custom, baby seal leather boots! *serious again* YOU will leave Paris! Or this will be the last you ever hear of... Marc Anciel! *presses a button to show a captive Roxanne on a seperate screen*
Scarlet Beetle: Don't panic, Marc... I'm on my way!
Marc: Yeah, I'm not panicking.
Monarch: *smirking* In order to stop me, you need to find me first, Scarlet Beetle!
Monarch: We're at the abandoned observatory!
Scarlet Beetle: Ah-ha!
Monarch: No, we're not! Don't listen to him! He's crazy!
Marc: You're SOOO predictable!
Monarch: Predictable? Predictable? Oh, you call THIS predictable?! *pulls a lever that opens up an alligator pool beneath Marc*
Marc: Alligators, yes. Mm-hmm. I was thinking about it on the way over...
Monarch: *pulls another lever that reveals a hidden gun* What's this? Boom! In your face!
Marc: Cliché!
Monarch: No! Look! Watch! *brings down a gauntlet of blades*
Marc: Juvenile!
Monarch: Shock and awe! *brings up a chainsaw*
Marc: Tacky!
Monarch: OH, IT'S SO SCARY!! *unleashes a cycle of spiked boots*
Marc: Seen it!
Monarch: *frantic* What's this one do?! *unleashes a flamethrower*
Marc: Garish! *Monarch breaks down crying* Okay, the spider's new.
Monarch: Spider? *He sees a spider hanging in front of Marc. Nooroo just shrugs* Uh... Yes! The... the spider. Even the smallest bite from... "arachnus deathicus"... will instantly paralyze... *Marc blows the spider into Monarch’s eye* AAH! GET IT OFF! IT BIT ME!
Marc: Give it up, Monarch. Your plans never work!
Lucien: This is the last time you make a fool out of me!
Monarch: I made you a hero! You did the "fool" thing all by yourself!
Monarch: Over here, old friend. In case you haven't noticed, you've fallen right into my trap.
Scarlet Beetle: You can't trap justice. It's an idea! A belief!
Monarch: Well, even the most heartfelt belief can be corroded over time!
Scarlet Beetle: Justice is a noncorrosive metal!
Monarch: But metals can be melted by the heat of revahnge!
Scarlet Beetle: It's "revenge", and it's best served cold!
Monarch: But it could be easily reheated, in the microwave of evil!
Scarlet Beetle: Well, I think your warranty is about to expire!
Monarch: Maybe I've got an extended warranty!
Scarlet Beetle: Warranties are invalid if you don't use the product for its intended purpose!
Marc: *groans* Girls, girls! You're both pretty! Can I go home now?
Max: I love you, Scarlet Beetle!
Scarlet Beetle: And I love you, random citizen!
Marc: Well, let's take a look at the contents then, shall we? You destroyed Scarlet Beetle, you took over the city, and then, you actually got me to care about you! Why are you so evil? Tricking me? What could you possibly hope to gain? *Monarch looks up at him sadly* Wait a minute. I don't believe this. Do you really think that I would ever be with you?
Monarch: … No...
Marc: *On the phone with Monatch whose pretending to be Louis* I just want to thank you for inspiring me the other day.
Monarch: Oh! You inspired me too.
Marc: Great. It's time we stood up to Monarch and show him he can't push us around.
Monarch: Oh! Oh, really? *whispers to Nooroo* He's so cute!
Marc: I'm already hot on his trail.
Marc: Uh-huh, and what gives you that idea?
Nooroo: Uh, sir...?
Marc: I just found his secret hideout!
Monarch: *shouting* How did he find my hideout?! *back onto the cell phone* Uh… how did you find his hideout?
Marc: This is the only building in Metro City with a fake observatory on the roof.
Monarch: Okay. *To Nooroo* There’s no way he'll find the secret entrance.
Marc: There's a doormat here that says "Secret Entrance"!
Monarch: *turns around angrily* Nooroo!
Nooroo: *nervous* I kept forgetting where it was…
Monarch: Oh, don't like that, huh? Well there's more! *Akumatizes himself to look like into Louis as he slowly backs onto his platform of Akumas* I'm also the "intellectual dweeb" dating Monarch.
Lucien: No.
Monarch: ...And we were smooching up a storm! *makes kissing noises as the Akumas carry him off*
Lucien: *enraged* When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna–
Monarch: Yes, yes. I know. "...Bring me to justice." Oh, God. How'd I miss this? *Lucien attacks him* And the hero strikes the first blow, but evil returns with a backhand!
*after a big ball of copper has been dropped on Lucien*
Monarch: Guess what, Blood Beetle! It's made from copper. You're powerless against it. It's the very same metal used to defeat– *Lucien’s fist punches out through the copper metal* … Scarlet Beetle?
Lucien: You... should stop comparing me to Scarlet Beetle!
Marc: Hey, who needs him? We can beat Blood Beetle ourselves. I say we go back to the evil lair, grab some ray guns, hold 'em sideways and just go all gangsta on him!
Monarch: We can't.
Marc: So that's it, you're just giving up?!
Monarch: I'm the bad guy. I don't save the day, I don't fly off into the sunset, and I don't get the boy. I'm going home.
*Monarch flips TV channels in prison*
Lucien: *on TV* Monarch. *Monarch continues channel surfing until he changes back to Lucien on TV* You and I have unfinished business. I’ll be waiting at Scarlet Tower. Oh, and just so you don’t get cold feet… *reveals Marc captured*
Monarch: Marc...
Lucien: Come on, Emerald. Call for your "hero" to come rescue you.
Marc: Monarch… I don't even know if you're listening, but if you are… you can't give up! The Monarch I know would never run from a fight, even if he knew he had no chance of winning! It was your best quality. You need to be that guy right now! The city needs you… I need you…
Monarch: …
Lucien: You have 1 hour. Don't keep me waiting.
Monarch: You want me to say it? I'll say it! Here it is, from the blackest part of my heart: I AM SORRY!
Roger: Not buying it.
Monarch: *sighs* I don't blame you. I've terrorized the city countless times. Created a hero who's turned out to be a villain. I lied to Marc, and...my best friend Nooroo, I treated Iike dirt. Please don't make this city... don't make Marc pay for my wrongdoings.
Nooroo: *removing the Roger disguise* Apology accepted.

dont let me cook
"finally.... mine," pax says running her fingers over the cool metal of the nxt womens title laying vertically on the ground. she had finally gotten her title alone, away from roxanne and anyone else that has any chance of hurting her. she had successfully tricked rox into leaving the title alone, so she could steal her from her. pax had found a dark room, away from the main performance center building, she was sure no one would find her there.
"no one can take you away from me, no one can ever separate us ever again" pax laid down and whispers into the white leather, her lips inches away from the cold metal, the title was free of roxannes sideplates, pax had removed them herself, the title was hers now, it didn't matter. no one was going to be able to separate them, "i'm gonna kill every single one of them who have ever held you before me. they're already dead in my mind, don't you worry pretty thing." pax cooed and laughed manically.
pax wasn't sure where the attraction came from or why she felt so drawn to this thing, the nxt womens title was an inanimate object but that didn't matter to pax, she felt the same attraction for the nxt womens title as she did any regular person. pax ran her fingers against the metal again, tracing the outline of the big X in the middle of the title. she kissed the title sloppily, she felt drunk, she didn't care if the title was dirty, she had finally gotten her lover in her hands, she was hers.
pax grabbed the knife she had in her wrestling boot, just in case roxanne or anyone else tried to stop her from taking whats hers, she sat up, an idea coming into her head. she dragged the knife up the leather, she knew how sharp her knife was so she avoided the metal, careful not to scratch the precious metal. she flipped the title over, carefully once again, she didn't want to hurt her love. "shhhh, everything will be over soon" she cooes at the title, she knew it didn't have to feel good. she meticulously scratched her initials into the back of the leather, once she was done she gave the back of the title a kiss, leaving her black lipstick underneath her initials.
"now its time for the fun part," pax laughed again as she flipped her lover over, the same manic laugh. she quickly removed her gear shorts, leaving herself in just her underwear. she straddles the title, lowering herself onto her, she lets out a whine as she feels the cool metal against her clothed wet cunt, she was leaking all through her underwear, she could feel it before she took her gear off and she was sure she was going to leak all over the title, she wastes no time rubbing herself against the title, pax didn't feel dirty, she was her lover after all. "bet no one touched you like this," she whined out, "no one will get to touch you like i do," she humped the title faster, jumping ever so slightly when the cold metal hits her clit, pax leans down kissing the leather again. "mine" pax chanted over and over again bringing herself closer and closer to the edge. she felt the wetness against the title, making her whine even more.
she was inching closer and closer to her release, the metal feeling good against her. "im g-gonna cum," pax whines out grinding against the title even more. she lets out a series of broken moans as her orgasm hit her hard. she continued grinding herself against the title riding out her orgasm. she let out a sigh once the aftershocks of her orgasm worn off and removes herself off the title.
"ohhh my baby," pax pouted and whined, "m sorry i was so messy our first time, let me clean you up," pax cooed at the title again using her tongue to lick up her wetness. once she felt like she got enough she grabbed the title and put her in her lap facing pax. pax brought the title to her chest and hugged her tightly, "once we get out of here im gonna clean you up even more, you're gonna be so shiny, everyone will be blinded by your beauty."
went a little too crazy with this im so sorry

Roxanne Vandelay headcanons
The genius that turned a garage operation into a multi-billion dollar cooperation within a span of three years ✨ Seriously, she's such an awesome character. It's a crime that she got so little screen time in the game. Really wish we got more insight into how she ran the company before Kale took over, especially between the old department heads before they were replaced/removed
⚙️ Roxanne was an only child ⚙️ She's a MASSIVE workaholic, to the point where she didn't have much personal time, including her family. One of her mottos was to "separate family and work", though she might have taken it a little far for Kale to feel neglected growing up. Once he took control of her with SPECTRA, there weren't many people left to question her disappearance, or they were easily removed ⚙️ Roxanne's cybernetics are much more powerful than we saw in the game. She's literally connected to her company, able to oversee all aspects. It started slowly due to her need for management, though because of the company's quick success, she ended up in control of a massive complex, which probably drained her quickly. (One neat fact about her office is that the color of the light change from red to blue once Kale is defeated. Imagine if other parts of the island changed as well) ⚙️ Chronic coffee drinker ⚙️ Roxanne prioritized honesty in her management methods. It took a long time to screen out new employees that fit her vision as compared to the typical cutthroat world of big industries ⚙️ Lived a wild life when she was young (and arguably still does). Old tattoos, leather, motorcycles, greasy wrenches, that vibe ⚙️ Divorced her husband shortly after Peppermint was born. It wasn't working out. Peppermint grew up free of that influence while Roxanne worked to ease back on workaholic tendencies, which only fueled Kale's jealousy and belief that his sister "had it better".

King Thrash's Greatest Fear
Tumblr media
Floyd and Barb lounged in the living room, engrossed in playing with a small, black, fuzzy bat, a pet-sitting favor for one of Riff’s friends, Sid Frett. Barb, in particular, was thrilled with the task, her desire for a bat of her own making her especially eager.
“Come on, Roxanne, you can do it! Catch the string!” Barb encouraged, animatedly wiggling a stick adorned with a string and ball in front of the bat. Roxanne, the bat in question, though advanced in years, made a valiant effort to engage with the toy, her movements slow but determined.
Floyd, too, lent his voice to the chorus of encouragement and buoyed by the support of both, Roxanne managed to latch onto the ball at the end of the stick. At this small victory, Barb let out a delighted squeal.
“You did it, Roxanne! Oh, who’s the best little bat? You are!” Barb crooned affectionately to the furry creature, gently petting her as she basked in the attention. Floyd, mindful of the bat's sensitive hearing, offered his applause in the form of soft, fingertip claps. Amidst this tender scene, the front door swung open to reveal the bat enthusiast’s father, KING THRASH, stepping in.
“Greetings, kids, how have you been—AAAAH!” His words cut short at the sight of Roxanne, the king let out a scream, promptly turning on his heel to race upstairs, where he secured himself in his room. This left Floyd, Barb, and even Roxanne, bewildered by the sudden exit.
"Sooo, your dad just... screamed and bolted like my little brother does when he sees a tarantapuff plushie," Floyd remarked, an eyebrow arched in amusement. Barb simply blinked in response, a bit puzzled herself, and shrugged. "I've never seen my old man freak out like that. Makes you wonder... what spooked him?" she mused.
"Well, let's piece this together; it must be something he saw that sent him sprinting. So, perhaps there's something unusual in the living room that scared him?" Floyd posited, touching a finger to his chin, lost in thought.
"Alright, detective mode on! I definitely don't want an encore of Dad hitting those high notes like a classical troll with a fractured wing," Barb declared.
As Floyd and Barb embarked on their quest to uncover the source of King Thrash's terror, they approached their investigation with the kind of seriousness usually reserved for finding lost remote controls.
Starting in the corners, Floyd peered behind curtains with the intensity of a cat stalking a laser pointer. "Maybe he saw his own reflection and got scared?" Floyd suggested, only half-joking, as he checked behind a particularly shiny vase.
Barb, meanwhile, dived into the piles of old records like a rock troll in a mosh pit, sending albums sliding across the floor. "Found anything?" Floyd called out. "Just Dad's old 'Hair Bands of the 80s' collection. Oh, the horror," she replied, holding up a particularly vibrant album cover featuring an excess of hairspray and leather.
Moving to the houseplants, they half-expected to find a creature from the depths of Troll Forest. Barb lifted a pot, only to find... "Aha! The lost city of...dust bunnies," she declared, uncovering a thriving civilization of lint and fluff. Floyd shone the flashlight like he was about to tell a ghost story, only to illuminate a very confused spider contemplating its life choices.
Inspecting the shelves, they handled each trinket as if it might explode. "This one looks suspicious," Floyd said, examining a snow globe. "Because it's from the 'world's most boring landmarks' series?" Barb asked, peering over his shoulder at a globe filled with the thrilling scene of a very flat and uneventful field.
As they checked the ceiling for airborne intruders, Floyd mused, "Maybe he saw a ghost? Or worse, realized he's been wearing his shirt inside out all day." Barb, wielding the broom like a sword, cleared away cobwebs, only to disturb a congregation of dust particles that glittered in the light like a disco ball gone wrong.
Finally, behind the TV, they hoped to unveil the ultimate horror. Instead, they found a lost pizza slice that had somehow mummified rather than molded. "Eureka! We've discovered the ancient relic of last week's movie night," Floyd announced, holding it up with a grimace.
Despite their exhaustive search, turning the living room into a scene of comedic chaos, they found nothing amiss. No beast, no ghoul, not even a mildly upsetting painting. They stood amid the disarray, a pair of intrepid explorers who had braved the wilds of the living room and emerged not with answers, but with an even greater mystery: What on earth had made King Thrash scream like he'd just seen the ghost of bad fashion past?
In a scene that would have stirred envy in the most dramatic of opera houses, Barb had collapsed onto the floor with the grace of a tragedy-struck heroine, her limbs sprawled in the timeless pose of despair. She lay there, a portrait of exhaustion, as if the very weight of their fruitless quest had crushed her spirit and pressed her into the floor's embrace. Nearby, Floyd, whose legs had long since surrendered to a more stationary life due to a calamity of their own, felt a weariness in his upper body that might rival the fatigue of marathon runners after their 26th mile. 
Yet, in this tableau of defeat, a small, fuzzy beacon of comfort made its presence known. Roxanne, the venerable and fuzzy bat, sensing perhaps that Barb needed a companion in her moment of dramatic desolation, cuddled up to her, a tiny creature finding solace in the company of a fallen rock princess.
It was then, amidst the silent camaraderie of defeat, that Floyd had his epiphany—a moment of such startling clarity that it might have illuminated the room better than any lamp. His voice, charged with the force of this revelation, broke the solemn silence. "Oh my SHUUUUGAR!" he exclaimed, a mixture of astonishment and humor lacing his words. "The only thing different here IS THE BAT! HE'S SCARED OF THE BAT!" With a dramatic flourish, he pointed at Roxanne, the unwitting harbinger of terror for King Thrash.
The absurdity of it all—of their exhaustive search, of the dramatic collapse, and of the tiny, cuddly creature being the source of such unfathomable dread—struck them. The scene transformed, from one of tragic exhaustion to a comedy skit that might have the audience rolling in the aisles. Roxanne, oblivious to her role in this revelation, simply snuggled closer to Barb, while Floyd and Barb were left to ponder the hilarity of their situation, the laughter bubbling up from within them like a wellspring of joyous relief. The living room, scene of their dramatic quest, now echoed not with the sounds of despair, but with the hearty, healing laughter of two friends united in the most unexpected of discoveries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upstairs, in the fortress of solitude known as his bedroom, King Thrash was engaged in a heroic battle of his own. With the fortress gates (read: door) firmly locked against the onslaught of the world, our valiant king found refuge under his most trusted shield—a blanket of unparalleled fluffiness. In his arms, he clutched his loyal squire, a pillow of great comfort, as he braced for the siege of fears that lurked beyond the fabric walls of his castle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back in the living room, a revelation struck Barb like a rogue note in a power ballad. "Wait... THAT'S WHY HE WON'T LET ME HAVE A PET BAT!" she yelled, the pieces of the puzzle crashing together with the subtlety of a cymbal smash in a quiet library. The realization dawned on her not like the gentle rays of the morning sun, but like a spotlight at a rock concert, blinding and undeniable.
The absurdity of the moment wasn't lost on them. Here they were, in a tale that no ballad or epic saga could hope to encapsulate—the story of a rock legend, his bat-phobia, and a pet that never was. Barb's proclamation echoed through the house, a mix of incredulity and revelation, as if she had just uncovered the secret to the ultimate riff.
Somewhere, in the depths of his fluffy fortress, King Thrash might have felt a disturbance in the air—a shift in the very essence of rock 'n' roll itself. And downstairs, amidst the remnants of their laughter and the shock of discovery, Barb and Floyd shared a look that said, "This is going to make one heck of a story at the next gig."
The saga of the bat-fearing king, the thwarted pet aspirations, and a living room investigation that would go down in the annals of rock history was born, not with a whimper, but with the uproarious laughter and the kind of absurdity that only true legends could inspire.
--------------------------------------------------------------Okay THIS is the shortest chapter iv ever done, but im treating you guys to a little fun in the story before..........well,😈

rewatched Megamind just now because my dad got his hands on a HD copy after many years and uhh yeah it's the best movie ever made. (FYI I've been watching an SD cropped .avi for my whole life so seeing it in such High Definition™ was eye-opening)
(also if you plan to read this whole thing sorry for the quality of the photos these are all taken from my phone because I have Megamind just. In my album)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These people can be seen after Minion speeds away in the invisible car (hitting some guy in the process) and they're like, trying to figure out why they feel like they got hit by a mfing car it's so cool
Tumblr media
There's a Raiders of the Lost Arc reference that my dad pointed out? That's cool
Tumblr media
Where tf was Hal planning to store that "bouncy house he rented" when his apartment is like twelve square feet
Tumblr media
Also the Roxanne "Good night Hal" poster totally caught me off guard even though I knew it was there lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOOK AT HOW ROXANNE AND MEGAMIND/BERNARD LOOK AT EACH OTHER THEY'RE SO IN LOVE
Tumblr media
BROKEN MIRROR IMAGERY
Tumblr media
Hal wearing a mask when we first see him, when he's acting all "heroic" and shit, and then tossing the mask away just as he gets rejected, and then not wearing the mask for the rest of the movie because THAT'S HIS TRUE SELF?! THE THEMES OF LOOKING PAST THE INITIAL ASSUMPTIONS YOU MAKE WHEN YOU MEET A PERSON AND SELF IDENTITY IN THIS MOVIE MAKE ME GO FERAL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The scene in the rain is so beautifully animated and scored it makes me want to cry 😭
Tumblr media
I never noticed this but Megamind reverting back to his old habits and "evil" ways after Roxanne finds out he'd been lying to her is just chef's kiss 💋 Like, he had such fun back then being thwarted by Metro Man, and then he starts growing as a person when he hangs out with Roxanne, like when he restores the paintings to the museum or cleans up the park he doesn't take credit for it or anything, he just wants to see her happy
And then she dumps him and he tries to get over it by being "himself" again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Titan rising from fire imagery? Okay I see you movie (I'm literally holding myself back from screaming because you're so amazing)
Tumblr media
Also the way that Megamind gets so tense and frightened when Titan actually threatens to kill him? Because Metro Man would just give him to the police (acab) because it's not in his morals to kill someone
Tumblr media
Metro Man walking on water and having his feet kissed imagery, also obviously being modelled after Elvis Presley who people worship like a god 10/10
Tumblr media
Markiplier looking down for a moment and legitimately contemplating his question "Who would I be without you?" Because he's having a kind of identity crisis, wondering what he would do if he wasn't born with these powers and automatically assigned the role of protector because of them
Tumblr media
Another thing about Titan, I love how in the scene where he's introduced formally with powers, the score is written like it's supposed to be romantic, or heroic, but there's a weird thing Hans Zimmer did where he managed to make it sound sinister especially towards the end, when he gets angry at Roxanne
Overall thoughts: I'm in love with this movie.
I am also furious that we went from "It can be easily reheated, in the microwave of evil" and "I'm shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots" and "There is no Queen of England" to;
"It's either a paper weight or a flash-grenade, so careful with that"
Tumblr media
"I have eyes that can see right through lead" is the funniest thing to ever grace my eyes and ears.

The Online Date
Written By Tater
My name is Jeff and I go by Bigunit69 on the dating site. I started talking to a girl with a screen name Roxygirl100. But I came to find out her real name is Roxanne we chatted online for about two weeks before I asked her out and kind of had a good idea who she is. She was an amazing girl sweet innocent and caring and found the good in every situation. We decided on a place to meet for our date it was this place that had all kinds of things like go carts and bowling, laser tag and food. We had a great time, and she was all I ever hoped for and even more beautiful that her pictures online. At the end of the night even though I didn't get to walk her to her door I walked her to her car, and we did give me a goodbye kiss and oh wow I was in love. We went our separate ways. Then we text each other this time on the phone every day for a half a week and this time she asked me out for the next Saturday I was like ok, and I was in my head she must want a piece of me ha-ha. She told me to pick her up her house and we could go out to where she wanted to go. So, I did, I went to her house which was a big house with a long driveway way off the road and there was a gate. After a man through the intercom at the gate let me in, I drove all the way up the driveway to the house and she was standing outside waiting when I drove up. I got out to greet her and she gave me a hug and we got in my car, and she told me we were going to a party. She was in tight leather pants and high heels with a low-cut top she looked really sexy. She told me to wear a suit, so I did, I looked good well I thought I did any way. I drove to the address that she gave me which was not far probably 5 miles after that long driveway. But we pull up to a gate and it is the same at Roxanne's house, there was a long driveway with a big house. There were lots of cars in the courtyard and area Infront of the house I found a spot and parked. We walked to the door to be greeted by a butler in a suit. All I thought wow fancy.
We walk into the house, and I could hear the music from the party. We walked down the long hallway and into the great room and there were more women than men at this party. There were several other men in suits like me that looked like dates women had brought. All the other men were waiters, and they were dressed in very little to put it nicely, they had on a bow tie and a what looked like a pair of under wear. As soon as we get 10 feet in that room Roxanne starts talking to other women and not paying any attention to me holding my hand like a child. But every once and a while she would look back at me and smile but keep going on to another conversation with another woman. Then after about a half hour of her talking and not paying me attention she started talking to one older yet super foxy lady and introduced her to me she said, "Deedra this is the one I've been telling you about jeff or online Bigunit69." She laughed then said, "Jeff this is Mistress Deedra she is the host of this party and owner of this beautiful estate." I looked at her and said, "Nice to meet you, Deedra." sticking out my hand to shake her hand and she just staired at me. She replied, "It is, isn't it." Then looked at Roxanne and said, "You have a lot of work to do with this one Rox". As she walked away to talk to more of her guests. Roxanne continues to mingle around until the music stopped and Deedra comes over the sound system and thanks everyone for coming and then introduced why we were there and five girls in short pink tight crop top dresses with high heels walk out of a side hallway to the middle of the room. All the women in the room started applauding these girls. I was unsure of what they did or why they were there. Then five more girls walk out or the hallway with leather body suits on and they all had a big ten-inch dildo strapped to their hips. All I could think was "what the fuck" I was kind of intrigued about what was going to happen next. The five women in leather walked over to the women in pink and stood behind them. Then Deedra said in the mic, "Ok Mistresses when I say go you take your sissy projects virginity, have no mercy fuck them till they have to be carried out." Then all the Mistresses lubed up their dildos and go ready and put the girls into what I guess was there favorite position. Then Deedra said, "alright ready set FUCK." At the same time, they all started fucking these girls it was kind of hot but a little weird and crazy. This whole thing went on for 15 minutes. All the Girls screaming and some crying and moaning. I actually saw one or two actually squirt wow. It all ended as they lay there helpless and shaking and quivering. After them laying there for 5 minutes they made them get up and they put a leash on a collar that was around their necks and started to walk around the room and mingle just like everyone else. Roxanne even talked to a few of the mistresses and congratulated them. None of the girls on the leashes made eye contact or said anything except one kind of got close to me and whispered under their breath what I thought she said was leave get out while you can and me and the girl got pulled away from each other kind of quickly. Then the rest of the night was fun, and Roxanne actually talked to me, and we had some food and drinks and just really enjoyed ourselves. At the end of the party, we walked out to the car I only had a few drinks, but they were strong I felt really drunk. Then Roxanne said, "are you OK sweetie would you like me to drive I feel fine, or I can get someone to drive us back to my place." I handed her my keys and said, "I never do this, but I guess I don't want to wreck my nice new truck." So, she drove us back to her house.
When we got there Roxanne told me to come on in and relax till, I was able to drive so I got out of the truck and took two steps and fell flat of the ground. Then I felt these big strong arms pick me up and took me inside. That was the last think I could remember about that night. Then next morning I wake up and I'm in a big bed and I couldn't move at all, and Roxanne was sleeping next to me. I notice through the little light shining through the drapes. I was not in my clothes any more she must have changed my clothes. But what was I wearing? I was wearing a pink night gown with lace and frills and was wearing under wear, but they didn't feel like mine, and I even had shoes on white tights on with pink shoes. "WHAT THE FUCK" I said out loud and Roxanne slowly woke up. Then looked at me and smiled and said, "Oh your alive, you were so drunk last night and messed up your clothes, so I loaned you some, but I didn't want the whole outfit not to match." I looked at her and said, "But why can I still not move?" Then she replied, "Oh no that weird it must be alcohol paralysis let's give it a few hours and you should improve."

A collection of memes I made while rereading the Inkheart trilogy, of varying effort (incl. the inspirational quotes)
Inkspell 📜

For the life of me I can't find the exasperated lines from both of them that sparked this but this was the vibe (<- forgot to write it down)

(Dustfinger) "'But I will not take a sword in my hand, if that's what you're hoping. You know I'm no good with such things.'" // (Mo) "And Mo felt a dragging sensation in his breast, as if his hatred had given birth to something, something that wanted to kill." // (Resa) "It was Mortola who taught her to hate." // (Farid) "'We can cut their throats before they make a sound. It will be easy!'" // (Meggie) "I hope you catch the plague here and drop dead like flies."

here we go: ‘86 is the title of my fic! this is the prologue i’m so so so excited yet nervous because it’s my first fic published but i hope you guys love it! 🖤
‘86 // The Prologue: THE FREAK AND THE BABE
*TRIGGER WARNING: swearing, mentions of abandonment, nsfw.
MARCH 23, 1985
I quickly gather my things as the bell dismissing us rings. “Thank god, I’m starving.” I think to myself. It was the last day of school before spring break and I couldn’t wait any longer. As well as school being absolutely draining, I have a week off from being harassed by Jason Carver.
Jason Carver is your average jock. Puts his feelings before others, doesn’t care about others. Just your good Ol’ average egotistical jackass. I never quite understood his obsession with me. I’m just a girl who hangs out with the band kids and I also write all the time. A coping skill I acquired dealing with the aftermath of my father leaving.
So, with that being said, I never understood the appeal I had on him. It’s like clockwork. I’ll attempt to sneak into the cafeteria so that I can avoid him, that’s not the case. He’ll always catch me. So, today would most likely not be an exception. A girl can certainly try. I sprint out of my classroom and hurry to the lunchroom, when I’m so rudely interrupted by an egotistical entity. I growl at his presence. “Hi Roxanne, how are you today? He cockily asks while fixing his obnoxious hair. I roll my eyes. “It was going good until you showed up.” I say under my breath.
I continue walking as he does as well, attempting to put his arm around me. I push it away. “No thank you. I don’t need a man to protect me from nothing.” He smirks then snickers. “Okay fine.” I start to grow very impatient and uncomfortable as the entity moves in front of me. I just want to eat something! “Are you at least going to be at the game later? You know, to cheer me on.” My anger grows and I scoff. “You seriously think I’m some bimbo with pom poms in love with you? Please.”
My skin begins to feel hot when suddenly the scent of old spice and weed overrides my senses. Realization hits as I see a leather covered arm wrap around me instantly calming me down. It’s Eddie “The Freak” Munson. Eddie is a senior who is repeating his senior year for a third time next year. I can’t help but to like him. Those eyes draw you in. I also sneak out with Robin to The Hideout to watch him and his band perform. He looks majestic when he shreds. I always find myself wondering if he notices me in the front row.
“Hey babe, is this guy bothering you?” I look at him astonished, blink a couple of times before it clicks. “Yeah. He’s… He’s harassing me about going to the game later and won’t stop.” I look up at Eddie, who gives me reassuring eyes before he sees red. “Carver thinks he can pull a fast one on my girl? Think I wouldn’t notice?” I put my hand on his chest continuing to play the part, only to notice how quickly his heart was beating.
I sneak a peek at Jason, who looks like he’s seen a ghost. “I’m just surprised a pretty thing would go out with a freak like you.” Eddie grows even more angry. “She is not a ‘thing’. She is a woman.” I rub on his chest even more. “A woman that chose the wrong guy.” Jason snaps. Eddie snaps harder. “At least i’m not a scumbag like y-“ I plant my lips on his as I drop my school books to caress his face. The cafeteria grows extremely silent.
His arms wrap around my waist and mine go into his curls as our kiss deepens. My eyes stay closed even though I’d like to see Jason’s face. Eddie stops the kiss and winks at me. I give him a smile. We stop our efforts and look at the pathetic thing. “Anything else Jason?” I ask, raising my eyebrows while still holding Eddie. Speechless, he walks away. I turn to my knight in shining armor. “Thank you so much. He wouldn’t leave me alone. How can I repay you?” Eddie chuckles. “That kiss was definitely something babe, show me what else you can do.” Now it’s me who’s speechless. Eddie kisses me once more and leads me somewhere.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Eddie leads me to his van, away from the school. My smile intensifies. Eddie notices me smiling and snickers. “You know, you have a really nice smile.” He leans against the van, making the butterflies in my stomach grow. “Really?” I try to hide from embarrassment. “No no darling, don’t hide. I love seeing you smile, especially in the front row.” His cockiness peaks. I start to get flustered. “Oh…” I speak quietly. “I never thought you’d notice.” “Oh no sweetheart. I see you dancing with Robin Buckley. It’s hot catching glances with you.” He opens the van and climbs in before offering his hand. “M’lady.”
I grab his hand, put my foot on the step and he pulls me in. The force of the pull makes me fall into his arms and he wraps his arms around me, catching me. “Wow, I never ever thought I’d be in your arms.” Eddie has. a shit eating grin. “Took us long enough huh?” I laugh with him. “Yeah… But especially you. What took you so long?” That’s when the overwhelming feeling comes as Eddie puts his lips back on mine. My eyes shut immediately as our hands roam all over each other.
The contrast of my warm skin with the chill ones of his rings hits quickly and I need more. His lips are soft and rough. His calloused hands explore beneath my shirt, causing me to shutter a bit. I laugh a bit. “I always see the way Carver approaches you everyday. The way it left you feeling.” Eddie begins to bite and suck on my jawline. Little moans come out of my mouth and into his ears. “I would constantly beat myself up for not coming to help, but today…… fuck. Today was it.” The way he breathes onto my neck and also him talking. Oh fuck.’”I couldn’t stand it any longer. That asshole doesn’t deserve you.”
My hand and fingers go into his locks that have been begging to be pulled. “God Eds.” I moan as his lips travel down to my collarbone. His moans fill his van as I tug and pull. He begins to bite, lick, and suck onto my breasts. His hands hook onto my breasts, gives them a squeeze. He moves them behind me and unclasps my bra. “Finally.” I gasp as his hands get back to my breasts. “I’ve always liked you Rox. I would protect you from anyone and anything, including that piece of shit.”
He continues to do wonders as his hands travel down to my shorts. “I could never work up the courage to talk to you. God you’re so fucking - fuck.” He switches by laying me on the floor and he’s on top. He smirks like a menace. “You get nervous around me?” His brown orbs glisten with lust and love. “Oh darling.” He takes my shorts and throws them. “You didn’t seem nervous pretending to be my girlfriend.” He teases as his fingers glide against my leg.
“That’s because - oh fuck.” His fingers go on the fabric of my panties and start rubbing gently. “That’s because what sweetheart? Use your words.” The pressure of his fingers increased. I moan and whimper. “That’s because… Because I normally get shy around you.” Eddie devilishly grins and chuckles spreading my legs and looks at me with a confused look. “You were scared to talk to me? Baby girl…” He comes up eye level with me and holds my face in his hands. “I don’t bite…” He looks down at my panties. “Not yet, but I’m not scary baby. I’ve been wanting to talk to you for so long.” He rubs my cheek with his thumb.
“I guess… No, it’s silly.” I chuckle. “What is it sweetheart?” I give him a yearning smile. “When I was ten, my parents split. My father left… I just always thought all men were like that. It’s silly.” His eyebrows furrow a bit. “I’m so sorry Rox… He seems like a real asshoel.” “He is. My brother Dustin misses him but I can’t stand the thought of him.” My father is in prison. I live with my Uncle Wayne. He’s really great.” “What happened to your dad? Your mom?”
“My father, I honestly don’t remember much. He’s committed several crimes. My mom left shortly before he went. Uncle Wayne took me in and he’s been in my life ever since.” I lightly smile. “Maybe I should meet him.” His eyes brighten. “You will darling. You will.” We both smile and chuckle. I moan when his thumb brushes against me.
“Did you want to keep going?” He raises his eyebrows. “Oh my god please.” I whine as he smirks going back down to my center. His slender fingers wrap around the hem of my panties and pull them down quickly. I twitch a bit at the cold air. Eddie is in awe at the sight in front of him. “God you’re so fucking beautiful• He says under his breath. I laugh wickedly. “You think so?” I tease. “Oh baby, you’re gorgeous.” He pants. “I just can’t wait to taste you.” He circles his right index finger and middle finger around my core slowly. It’s pure ecstasy. He stick them in and starts pumping in and out of me.
“Oh my god Eds.” I groan. “Please.” He lowers himself more and his tongue licks slowly as his fingers reach my clit. His fingers start circling around rapidly. His tongue darts in and out of me. “God you’re fucking divine.” He moans as he tastes more of me. I can already feel my high approach. But I don’t want him to stop. He’s just unreal. This is ecstasy. “Ed-Eddie. I’m gonna cum.” He laughs against my core, vibrating it. “Go for it sweetheart.” I groan as I release.
I can feel myself tremble as Eddie takes everything I gave him. He licks everything up. I start panting as he comes back up for air. He’s a panting mess as well. His hair is disheveled and unkempt. Added with sweat. “You, my darling, are magnificent.” I blush at the compliment. “I need you.” We pant some more. “Not now sweetheart. We’ll save that for later. For now, we have to go on with our school day.” I chuckle. “Wow Eddie Munson actually gives a shit about school.” He laughs and hands me my shorts “Come by after school. I’d love to, um, have you.” I grab my discarded bra and put it on. I then grab his face and kiss him.
“You already have me sweetheart.” I give him a daring smirk. I sit on his lap with his member poking me. We get into a steamy passionate kiss as if everything disappears. We don’t even hear the faint sound of the bell ringing. We pull away from each other. “Damn Rox, we only just got to know each other. But goddamit you’re already the death of me.” I giggle. “Well, I guess I have that effect on people.” He grabs my face again and our lips connect again. I grab onto his shirt and rip it off him. Eddie smirks at me. “Round two?” I climb on top of him. “Yes.” We take a very extended lunch break in his van while passersby walk past to class. Meanwhile, Eds and I were learning about each other.

Backstage
Aaron Tveit x reader SMUT
Tumblr media
Watching Aaron in his shows has always been one of your favourite things to do. You loved how you could just see how much he loved being on stage. You had always enjoyed his shows but there was something about watching him in Moulin Rouge that just hit a little differently; perhaps it was the black leather coat and the ascot tied around his neck but you couldn’t help but be distracted throughout the whole performance, just staring at him. You knew that he could see that you were distracted from the subtle looks he was shooting you from onstage.
By the time Roxanne had come around, the only thing you were focused on was how good Aaron looked, you couldn’t tear your eyes away from him; the way he looked and the way he sounded was absolutely perfect.
Once the show had finished, one of the ushers (knowing who you were) let you backstage so you could go and see Aaron. You knocked lightly on the door to his dressing room and it swung open to reveal a very sweaty, very shirtless, Aaron, still panting after having just run offstage.
‘Hey,’ he exclaimed, pulling you into the room and closing the door behind you, pressing a quick kiss to your lips, ‘how did you like the show?’
‘I loved it! You were incredible, I just,’ you trailed off as your eyes ran over his body, taking in his appearance.
‘(Y/N), everything okay,’ Aaron asked, bringing your attention back to the present. You quickly snapped out of my trace and looked back at Aaron.
‘Yeah, everything’s fine, why?’
‘You just trailed off and then went into your own little world,’ he said, laughing lightly, ‘what were you going to say.’
You felt your cheeks heat up when you remembered what you was going to say and that was all Aaron needed to see; sometimes it was a curse of how well he could read your face. A smirk slowly worked its way onto his face as he stepped closer towards you, completely filling your personal space.
‘Did someone like what they saw tonight?’ You could only nod in response, words catching in your throat as Aaron put his hands against the door behind you, effectively trapping you between his arms. ‘You know I could see how distracted you were getting while I was onstage baby. You’re terrible at keeping a straight face.’ He said, ducking his head into your neck to pepper soft kisses on your skin, nipping with his teeth every now and then.
‘Aaron,’ you whimpered, ‘we can’t here. What if someone hears us or walks in?’
‘There’s no one else here,’ he mumbled, head still buried in your neck, his arms having dropped from the door to wrap around your body, holding you against him. ‘Everyone left as soon as the show finished to go for end of the week drinks, I told them we’d join them a bit later. We’re all alone baby.’
You couldn’t help the whimper escape your lips at the pet name which only made Aaron smirk against your skin and use the grip he had on your body to lift you up and move you to his dressing table, setting you down and stepping between your spread legs. His kisses moved up to your lips and you parted your lips straight away, allowing his tongue to dip into your mouth making him groan against you. Your hands came up to slide up his chest before settling around his shoulders.
His hands moved up your thighs, pushing the skirt of your dress up, growling slightly as he felt the crotch of your tights stop his hands from moving any further. This didn’t prove to be a problem for much longer as, before you knew it, he had hooked his fingers and ripped them right at the crotch, his hands quickly moving to brush gently against your panty covered core.
‘Why did you do that!?’ you protested half-heartedly, too wrapped up in the feel of Aarons hands on your body.
‘They were in the way,’ he said, looking up at you. His eyes had darkened considerably and that sent a shiver running up your spine. Aaron pressed himself impossibly closer to you and you felt the outline of his erection press against your covered pussy, grinding slightly as he let out a groan. ‘Baby, I can’t wait, okay? I’ll make it up to you when we get home,’ he said, quickly pushing his trousers and boxers down his legs far enough to free his cock before hooking his finger in the crotch of your panties, pulling them to the side as he lined up and pushed in.
You both let out a moan as he stopped when his hips were flush against yours, giving you time to adjust to him. His hand came up to brush through your hair before cupping your cheek.
‘You okay?’ he asked, breathing heavily, clearly doing everything he could to not thrust his hips until you gave the all clear.
‘Yeah. Aaron, please move,’ you begged as you clenched around him, making him swear under his breath as he began to push his hips in and out. The two of you had quickly set up a rhythm that had you both hovering on the edge quickly; your moans turning each of you on even more.
‘Fuck, (Y/N), you feel so fucking good,’ Aaron groaned as his head fell back into your neck. His hands were wrapped around your hips, pinning you in place and you knew that there would be bruises in the morning. Aaron’s hips sped up slightly which made you gasp against his mouth and you could feel Aaron’s smirk against your lips. ‘You close baby?’
You nodded, still panting against each others mouths. You didn’t notice his hand creeping down your body until his fingers started to dance on your clit, pushing you even closer to the edge which made you cling to Aaron’s body trying to ground yourself.
‘Come on, baby, let go for me, I’ve got you,’ he whispered in your ear and that was it. You felt yourself be flung over the edge and stars burst behind your eyes as Aaron rode you through your orgasm, following closely behind you.
You both stayed exactly where you were for a few moments as you let yourselves catch your breath. Aaron was the first to move, pulling out slowly before reaching over for something to clean you both up, pulling his trousers back up his legs. He then turned back to you, cupped your cheeks with both hands and leant in to press a small love-filled kiss to your lips, pulling away with a soft smile on his face.
‘I love you,’ you hummed after you’d jumped down from the table, straightening your dress back up, getting rid of the ruined tights. You walked over to Aaron, wrapping yourself in his arms once again as he pressed a kiss to the top of your head.
‘I love you too, did you want to head over to the bar and have a couple of drinks with the others or did you just want to go home and curl up in bed?’ he asked, the look in his eyes telling you that there was clearly an option that he preferred. You pretended to think about it for a while, making Aaron whine your name quietly and squeeze your tighter against him.
‘Shall we just head home, I’m pretty beat and you’re going to be shattered after tonight?’
Aaron’s shoulders slumped in relief as he gave a small chuckle, ‘that sounds perfect baby,’ he said as he grabbed both of your bags with one hand, taking your hand in his other as you turned the light out in the room and you both headed home.
