12 year old me listening to “to live is just to fall asleep / to die is to awaken” in million dollars houses (the painter) like it’s the deepest shit i’d ever heard
Hi!!! Can you write for johnnie? Maybe during one of his lives he sings a song to the reader and the comments are talking about how they look at eachother and just all cute? Thank you!!
hiii :3
ive broken bones for you and for you only
“okay do you guys have any song requests for me to play?” johnnie and i looked through the chat to see what everyone was saying. ‘what about million dollar houses by pierce the veil.’ i read looking at johnnie. “that’s actually our favorite song, it reminds me of when we first met.” i smiled. “it is, y/n’s always singing this song.” johnnie smiled as he got his guitar ready.
“okay you guys ready.” johnnie asked looking over at the chat seeing many yes.’ “alright, ready y/n.” i nodded my head watching as johnnie began strumming his guitar.
“so what if I was just a painter? painting houses on the rich blue coast. would you ever try to leave me. for somebody who deserves you most? cause darling, i am just a painter.”
i swayed to the song smiling at johnnie admiring his features. his hair framing his face perfectly. watching as his fingers moved smoothly from the different strings of the guitar. his eyes close as he sang.
“cause i’ve broken bones for you, and for you only. i make money, but we just can't keep this home. give me your heart and your hand and we can run.”
johnnie opened his eyes smiling as he continued the song. as the song neared its end we both sang to lyrics of the song.
“maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love, but i’ll fight for you ‘til then. and if he stole you from me. on my arm, there's a tattoo of your name.”
“i’ve broken bones for you, and for you only. i make money, but fuck money, we want love. give me your heart and your hand and we can run.”
johnnie finished singing, setting down his guitar. i clapped and hugged him tightly placing a kiss on his neck. i kept my arms around him pressing my cheek onto his, as he held my waist tightly. “guys isnt he cute.” i laughed squeezing his cheeks, “he’s so talented.”
johnnie blushed hiding his face in my neck. the chat, filled with ‘awws’ ‘look how they’re looking at each other!!’ and many other sweet things, making the two laugh and blush.

Hii, could I please have a matchup ☺️💕 thank you!!
* What song are you fixated on at the moment? What lyric or verse, and why?
Million Dollar Houses by PTV!! My fav verse has to be “maybe we’re meant to lose the ones we love but I’ll fight for you till then”. I feel this way a lot wether it’s for something I’m doing or towards someone I’m dating yk, I think it portrays that feeling rlly well
* What is your Enneagram type?
Type 9
* Do you love gargantuan Youtube video essays, and if so, which is your favorite and why?
YES OMG I watch sooo many but my fav has to be “learn to be bored” by Farah. It’s just so interesting and her way of explaining things is so calming I love all her stuff
* Tell me about your childhood imaginary friend.
I remember I had this fish tank in my room, so I’d pretend they could hear me and just yap away to these poor fish lmao, I think that’s the closest to imaginary friend I had
* What is your go-to way to fall asleep?
Tbh I fall asleep anywhere and anytime easily but on the rare occasion I can’t I just put on some music and it seems to help
* If you had to change your name, what would it be, and why? (In tandem, if you have changed your name, why did you pick that one?)
I’d probably change it to Amada. It’s one of my old relative’s name and she’s somebody I look up to and hope to be like, so I’d love to be named after her tbh. Family is def something that’s important to me so it fits
* What is your favorite of Redacted's audios, and why?
One that’s up there for me is deeefinitely that David audio where he catches you with his hoodie. I always go back to one of his audios if I need to relax and that’s fs one of them (side note, I remember after listening to that audio I knew immediately that he was gonna propose for the next one ommmg)
* What Redacted boy holds no appeal to you, and why? Like, not the one you hate but the one who you don't get the hype for. (I won't judge, I promise.)
Tbh anything with Marcus or James I know nothing abt. Nothing against them yk but I’ve never rlly bothered to listen to any of the audios in that series
* Tell me about that one book/movie/tv show you know all the words to.
Guardians of the Galaxy, both movies but tbh more of the second one. I could recite majority of the movie and I know ALL of Rocket’s lines by heart I’ve watched it countless times by now. Might rewatch today tbh I love them
* Which Redacted boy are you platonically attracted to? Like- forget dating, which dude do you want to be your best friend?
I’d love to be friends w Damien. My best friend is similar to him and I feel like he’d bring out the best in somebody, I could see myself working rlly well with him esp with school and stuff
* Do you have a go-to thing you ramble about when you're tired, and if so, what is it? (For example, my boyfriend knows l'm ready to sleep when I start talking about space.)
Hmm I don’t really ramble but if I’m tired I love to listen to somebody talk. I’m more of a listener in general but when I get sleepy I’ll call one of my friends and have them just rant until I’m actually ready to sleep
* Tell me your go-to gas station and drink combo.
Ironically, 711. I dont get the slushees though, I just get a strawberry milk with those fruit bowls. Idk what it is but it’s like routine atp
* Tell me about your favorite playlist at the moment.
My fav playlist rn is my main one- It’s pretty much just rock and like grunge w a little bit of metal, I listen to all genres but I mainly listen to that. Lots of Radiohead, pierce the veil, Red Hot Chili Peppers yk
* What's your guilty pleasure media, and why?
Any anime ever but esp Ouran. I can’t help but rewatch yk 😞
I hope I’m not too biased as a fellow type nine when I say this, but you’re a family-oriented type nine who’d get along with Damien. Who would be a better match for you than Huxley?
Type Nines are the peacemakers, the mediators of the Enneagram, always listening and taking care of people, watching the mood. This combined with family being important to you and Damien reminding you of your best friend leads me to believe that you’d have so much in common with Huxley as all these things describe him too, you know? He’d see a kindred spirit in you and would know you’d be a good fit with his life, loved ones, and values. Apropos of your enneagram type, this would build a very peaceful life together.
That’s not to say it’s not a fun or romantic life, of course. This is Huxley, we’re talking about; he is a total sweetheart to be with. He watches all your anime with you, even though it’s totally new to him, and he watches OHSHC as many times as you’d like, jamming to the theme song. (My headcanon is he’s totally in love with the shoujo genre and would love A Sign of Affection and Kimi No Todoke best.) For your next gift-giving holiday, he gives you a life-size Rocket Raccoon. When you’re sleepy, he lays you down, holds you close to his chest, and rambles about socks or some such until you fall asleep. It’s a perfect life, honestly.
Song:
I don't want this moment to ever end/ Where everything's nothing without you/ I want you to know/ With everything, I won't let this go/ These words are my heart and soul (I'll hold on)/ I'll hold on to this moment, you know/ As I bleed my heart out to show/ And I won't let go
Finding a balance between your rock/grunge music and what I headcanon Huxley to listen to was very interesting, but I think the Sum 41 song I picked is a good fit. This song would have come out when Huxley was a kid, and the nostalgia of it combined with having someone to listen to it with would just make him overjoyed.
Runner-ups:
Guy would be a really fun runner-up, because if you like falling asleep to the sound of a loved one talking? Is there a better possible match in that respect? Geordi, I like for you because he’s one of the few boys who I think would be an anime fan, especially OHSHC. (Asher is the other anime fan, I think, but he’s more a fan of shounen.)
