Troisième acte scène XIV, Cyrano de Bergerac (Théâtre 14, mise-en-scène d'Henri Lazarini)
#Cyrano#Roxane#Christian#Cyrano de Bergerac#Edmond Rostand#I talk too much#About books#It was hard to leave out his delivery of 'Dire qu'il croit me faire énormément de peine!'#I love the moment in which Cyrano and Christian stand there just watching the regiment leaving#perhaps as if already contemplating their own deaths#I wasn't convinced by the choice the 1st time I watched this but now I love how they played with the somewhat fun potential of this exchange#and I think I came to love it so due to the detail of the lingering hands reaching for each other in the dark#The way this production dances around the tragic and comedic aspects of the play‚ often dwelling precisely in the line between them‚#is fantastic in my opinion. I think they usually manage it very well‚ and that it works with Cyrano as a character#even in the narrative inside the narrative ('Et pendant quatorze ans‚ il a joué ce rôle / D'être le vieil ami qui vient pour être drôle!')‚#as well as working metanarratively with the motifs of the play#I love that they included a sort of goodbye between Roxane and Cyrano as well‚ a goodbye as two people who care deeply about each other#and have a hard time leaving the other. I think the gesture makes a very good job at evoking that feeling of having to say goodbye#to someone well loved‚ uncertain of when you'll be able to see them again but knowing it wouldn't be soon#The fact that it's done in the dark enhances that feeling even more I think#I truly love the detail. It's actually the reason why I saved this fragment

prompt number 25 for those good omens bitches please AND thank you
thank you so much!!! tried to go for angst but failed. ah well, c'est la vie. it's the spirit of the thing.
25. “It hurts…” “what?” “Loving someone who doesn’t love you…”
“Well it does hurt, is the thing," Crowley says, restarting an argument that had been born outside the theater, raised on the way to the restaurant, and had been on a quick gap year over canapés.
Aziraphale stops fussing with the sleeves of his coat. “What?” 
“Loving someone who doesn’t love you, it hurts," Crowley clarifies. 
Aziraphale goes back to fussing. "Yes, I suppose it does," he says, then shakes his arms out. Perfect. "But I don't see what that has to do with how dreadful that production of Cyrano was."
Crowley holds the door open for him, and all the warm air inside the restaurant is quickly replaced with a brisk chill that bites the nostrils. Aziraphale says a quick thank you, and Crowley goes back to arguing. He walks along with a small jump in his step, shoulders to his ears as if trying to lift himself off the sidewalk. Aziraphale loops an arm around the demon's elbow, to keep him grounded.
"I'm just saying," Crowley says. "I'm all for criticism. Love criticism, me, but I don't think he was being that overdramatic. It really does feel like that sometimes."
"He was wailing!" Aziraphale argues back. "Rending his garments, throwing himself at the walls--I'm just saying, there's something to a subtle performance."
"Sub--subtle performance?" Crowley lets that percolate in delighted disbelief. "Bit rich coming from you."
Aziraphale's jaw pops open, feet's coming to a standstill, and he unhooks himself from Crowley's arm. "What's that supposed to mean?" he asks. It's intended to come off as mildly offended, but lilts a little to the left. Crowley stares at him, and Aziraphale tuts. "Oh...!" He stomps back up to Crowley and hooks their arms together again, bringing them back to their familiar trot. "That is besides the point."
"No it's not," Crowley says. "You love drama. You love those books where they go on in the hillside, waving poetic and, and diving off of cliffs."
"Yes, but that's books," Aziraphale says. "That's fiction in its purest form. This is performance, it must have some grounding in reality. You can't honestly say you've ever acted like that in the name of unrequited love."
Crowley hums, and is quiet for a few moments. They turn into a nearby park, and everybody considered mugging the flash bastard and his posh twat boyfriend suddenly find their wallets heavier and their thoughts elsewhere.
"Maybe I have," Crowley says, all mumbled and high pitched. "Who's to say?"
Aziraphale does a double take. "Really?" Crowley nods, looking straight ahead. Aziraphale hesitantly points to himself. "Over...?"
It's now Crowley's turn to do a double take. "Wh--no, over Napoleon. Yes, over you!"
"Oh, well that makes me feel terrible!" laments Aziraphale, who is beginning to feel something rise up within him that he's too proud to admit to but most would call 'flattered'. "That you did all that screaming and wailing over me."
Crowley shifts as if trying to shed his skin. "Mm."
"All that--all that rending of garments and throwing yourself about." Aziraphale puts his free hand on Crowley's hooked arm. He tuts. "And over me."
Crowley lets put a creaking sound of embarrassment, and tries to wave away his confession with his free hand. "Okay, that's not--"
"That you were overcome by...by such enormous affection and love," Aziraphale continues, near giddy with it now. "For me!"
Crowley stares at him, deadpan. "You're enjoying this."
"I'm not," lies Aziraphale. He schools his face as best he can--which is to say, quite portly. "I'm feeling...quite guilty."
"That's not your guilty face," Crowley says. "That's your...that's a different face. A smug face."
"Not smug," says Aziraphale, smugly.
"Delighted, then."
Aziraphale tuts, shaking his head. "Not in the least. I'm quite overcome with agony, as I imagine you were." Crowley hums in disbelief. "Again, over me."
"Alright, alright," says Crowley, who does his best to gesture wildly with one arm lovingly held captive. "I take it back. I take it all back. There was no wailing or garment rending or any of that. I was perfectly fine with it." He expects a response to come. When it doesn't, he turns to see Aziraphale looking distinctly put out. Something seizes in Crowley's chest, and the words come out before his brain can bar the door. "Okay, I screamed at a tree once about it. Does that satisfy you?"
"Mm," says Aziraphale, still displeased.
"Maybe had a...good cry, or three," admits Crowley.
Aziraphale softens. "Oh, did you really?" he asks, curiosity sliding from smug to concerned.
Crowley bristles at the genuine emotion. "Oh, what, and you didn't?" he asks defensively.
"No, I have," says Aziraphale, soberly. He blinks up at Crowley before surveying the landscape, no doubt imagining lonely nights and cold mornings scattered over many the millennia. Crowley imagines them as well.
"You...so...yeah," he says. He supposes he's won the argument, but it doesn't feel like it. "We both..."
"We've both suffered over each other," Aziraphale says. His voice is heavy with guilt, and not for the first time, the two of them think of the same thing. 
Crowley distinctly remembers the slam of the bookshop door, and winces at it. Sounds get clogged in the back of his throat. "Y-Yeah," he says. They walk along another few steps, before stopping. "Not...not any more, though," Crowley adds, half statement and half question. He brings his free hand over Aziraphale's.
Aziraphale squeezes his arm lightly and smiles. "No," he whispers. "Not any more."
Crowley smiles back--because it's dark and there's plausible deniability, because he's in love, who's to say--and moves to cup Aziraphale's face. Aziraphale's already ahead of him. The kiss to short, soft, and simple--a reassurance, more than a declaration. For a moment, there's a break in the chill night air, and all is warm.
They part, and continue their walk in tandem. "You still think the play was shit though, don't you?" Crowley asks.
"Not in so many words," Aziraphale admonishes, which is to say, yes.

Musings on Vogue World 🎭 🎶 🎬 📺 🇬🇧 and what could have been.
Pondering the choices and priorities of someone I don’t know and watching his decisions during his SAG mandated haitus and it’s a case of saying huh!
Sam has spoken at length about wanting to return to his theater roots and also securing work in television and film in 🇬🇧. What better networking event than the VW extravaganza. Not to mention the fun and buzz of likeminded thespians, musicians and fashionistas having fun and raising money for the performing arts.
It was the night.
I’ve talked to a few likeminded people and we are all of the view that he was not invited to be a part of the program. This could be a likely reason for his absence (in theory), as all promotional work for his booze SS is done and he has no other projects due to the strike. So why not if invited?
Is it the case that his ⭐️ is not A/B list?! It’s a brutal consideration. Has Sam spent too much professional energy chasing HW projects and ⭐️ to the detriment of his 🇬🇧 credentials?
Not sure about the rest of you but I’m sick of seeing Sam’s face, hands, fingers and clothes used to connect him to random women (this is 🤢inducing) and places. He is being reduced to literally the sum of his body parts. He is at risk of becoming a bought and paid for ⭐️ at private cons for women who just see JAMMF with a side of 🥃 and🍸.
I can hear the screeching and hating all the way here in 🇦🇺 but hey, Kansas was 🙈 🫥
I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing James McAvoy in Cyrano de Bergerac in February 2020 in London just before the pandemic shut down the world. I remember thinking perhaps soon I would have the opportunity and pleasure to see Sam in a West End production. This seems unlikely any time soon. Hope that I will be proven wrong.
James is a favourite and I love that he was an usher in that fabulous tartan. And with the sunglasses, Dunhill jacket (remember when Sam wore Dunhill) it almost could be SRH.
MOO: my opinion only 😉

“Then, why don't you claim your own skies?”
The words ring in his head that morning of the ceremony. Thinking on this was unusual, really— the Drayster never mulled over things for long. In the days leading up however, Drayton couldn't help being reminded of the words said to him by that guy many months ago.
— —
Cyrano introduced him as a gym leader of the Galar region, visiting Blueberry Academy to train for a while in the Terarium.
“Yo, name's Raihan. Heard you're a dragon trainer too— care for a battle?”
A fellow dragon specialist, and Duraludon trainer too. They clicked instantly; having so much in common and being so similar in personality, it made League Club members do a double take. It wasn't before long that Drayton spent most of his class-skipping days hanging with Raihan in the Terarium during those few weeks.
They battled, they trained, and sometimes they just chatted over grub. Most of the time it was light-hearted: trading tips on dragon training, or stories of the strong trainers they've encountered. Other times, Raihan ranted off about the online beef he had with that Iono chick
(“The streamer girl? Yeah, we've met; she was invited here from Paldea last year. Girl's a whacky cuckoolander.” “Ugh, got that straight.”)
or jived Drayton about his League Club juniors.
(“Your girl Lacey is real cute.” “Yeah, that's her thing. Don't you think about trying anything though; her old man's Clay.” “The cowboy man? Damn.”)
It was only when the topic of rivals drifted along the daily conversation mill that vibes turned dour. A topic that Drayton avoided taking too seriously. There were feelings that never left him, never spoken aloud at Blueberry Academy. He wanted to keep it away, leave it on the shores of Unova miles from his small ocean sanctuary.
But Raihan never disparaged it. To Drayton's surprise, the other dragon tamer even had his own struggles to share, despite already reaching the status of 8th gym leader. He candidly described the child prodigy in his home region— the undefeated champion ever so popular and praised in the public eye.
It was a story Drayton knew all too well; he could recognize it in the undertone of Raihan's voice as he hit note for note the same emotions Drayton had felt too. So for the very first time since stepping foot upon Blueberry Academy, Drayton shared his own story— of his family, of the Opelucid Gym, of the Unova Champion.
Leon. Drayden. Iris.
These were the names that, although both Raihan and Drayton had much respect for them as pokemon trainers, never really made their smiles reach their eyes. The brighter big lights shine, the larger the shadows are cast behind them they say. Drayton's never found peace in that darkness, but it did make him feel better finding a kindred spirit in Raihan.
That is, until Raihan dropped the most mind-blowing take the Drayster's ever heard.
“It’s the same for you innit?— with Iris, I mean. There's always that someone you can't reach up to no matter how much you give your all— the ultimate rival. 'cept don't you think it could be that way 'cause you're playing the game with different rules?”
“Huh?”
“Leon was the strongest because his Pokemon are strong. Even if he's in a tight spot, he'd always manage to eek out a win because of that insane raw power of his pokemon. Battle instincts just come naturally to him y'know? But if you ask the man about how he uses his pokemon's abilities or setting up his next move? My mate gets lost quicker than Sonia can put a tracker on him, haha!”
“The Pokemon League's standard for single battles is great and all, but doubles is a whole different ball game. Singles is all about strength and endurance; double battles actually uses tactics. Just because a trainer is good at raising Pokemon to be strong doesn't always mean they'll be good at strategy. Honestly, it’s amazing how Leon stayed at the top for a decade 'til the new champ beat him.”
No matter how good Drayton was as Blueberry League Champion, at a school specialized in double battles, beating Iris was always a separate issue. The battle skills he was taught as a child, from his training by his grandfather at Opelucid Gym was all he had ever known when battling her. But truth be told, it never even occurred to him to level the playing field. It never occurred to him to think that he could.
“That's why I choose doubles in my gym. There are different ways to be strong as a trainer, it's just a matter of finding your own. 'sides, this school already specializes in double battles, why not put that to your advantage?”
Challenging Iris in a double battle… might just be the craziest idea Drayton has ever considered.
“The skies are big enough for all of us to fly— you just have to claim your territory, mate.”
— —
“Drayton, there you are!” Lacey's voice snaps him out of his reverie.
They've just finished the graduation ceremony. Long and arduous, the graduating students all decked out in Blueberry's cap and gown stood in the Terarium's Central Plaza waiting to be called up one by one to recieve a fancy sealed up paper. After the final speeches were said, cheers shouted and caps tossed, it was finally time for students to freely mill about in the celebratory energy.
“Yo. Congratulations, Miss Valedictorian.”
“Oh please, not you too. Crispin and the other League Club members have already said enough.” She pauses, lightly laughs as she approaches him. “And besides, I came here to congratulate you! Congratulations on graduating, Drayton.”
“Thanks, been a long time coming.”
“Yes… To be honest, I'm kinda surprised you made it this year…”
“Heh heh, aren't we all?” He took no offense to that, really. “Guess I just got my muse back this time 'round.”
Indeed, Drayton's change of pace didn't go unnoticed by the rest of the BB Elite Four. Perhaps it was the influence of the whole Kieran drama last year… or after that had cleared up, the subsequent sister school exchange event where the top BB League Club members got invited to Paldea to participate in a team competition. Lacey certainly noticed Drayton went back to skipping class when the Galarian gym leader was here, but at least he was motivated somewhat regularly after.
“I see… well I'm glad to hear that, Drayton. What are you planning to do after graduation?”
“Who knows… but I might have something in mind…”
“Something?”
“Don't worry about it.” He waves it off and ushers her ahead. “C'mon, lets take some photos with the club. It'll be our last ones here afterall.”
.
.
.
“By the way Drayster— if you ever find yourself in Galar, feel free to drop by Hammerlocke Stadium any time. We'll be happy to have ya.”

I’m having a bit of trouble with this episode, I mean it’s S2 episode 15 (Trouble With Tribbles). I promise I can come up with a better opening (edit: I didn’t)
It’s the episode in ds9! But without Jadzia Dax :(
- How can Chekov just sit like that
- Spock is not impressed with Chekov’s joke :((
- HEHEHE
Tumblr media
- Kirk is not amused with the space station
- “And that gives him the authority.” Spock leans over and whispers in Kirk’s ear
- “What, what what.” Kirk is what-ing all over the place
- CANADA MENTION LOL (finding out William Shatner is Canadian was a fucking jump scare)
- Kirk is like “if you say Quadrotriticale one more time-”
Tumblr media
- the audacity of this bitch <3
- “Does everybody know about this wheat but me?” Kirk is so damn lost
- “Is it alive? Can I hold it?” Uhura that looks like one of those keychain Pom poms. I wanna hold one too.
- “Is that an offer or a joke.” “It’s my offer.” “It’s a joke.” I kinda like whatever these two got going on
- Kirk’s greatest enemy… quadrotriticale
- “Ah, My dear Captain Kirk.” “My dear captain Koloth.” What is Kirk on today?
- Why do they pronounce Klingons like that cling- gones
- Is Koloth played by the same guy as Trelane
- Kirk and Koloth wanna hate fuck so bad
- I love engineering just being crazy into their field, they’re all huge nerds about it and I love them
- Spock petting the tribble in the background
- Spock take a tribble, you need to relax
- “Captain, may I ask where you’ll be?” “Sickbay, with a headache.” Get this man a drink or smt
- I love McCoy getting his own little side quest of figuring out how tf tribbles work
- Don’t you fucking date insult Scotty’s ship! THATS TOO FAR
- I love this conversation between Kirk and Scotty. Kirk just baffled that Scotty threw the first punch. “Is this off the record?” “No, this is not off the record.” I’m giggling throughout this conversation
- Scotty’s so happy about catching up on his technical journals
- McCoy and Spock’s fight in the science room. They only call each other sir when they’re fighting
Tumblr media
- Kirk got whoopee cushioned by a tribble
- Imagine your chief medical officer is that pretty and you’re normal about it (he’s not normal about it but just imagine)
Tumblr media
- MCCOY SAYS “BISEXUAL”
- Kirk, Spock, and Uhura are so miserable while McCoy has just a single tribble as a fidget toy
Tumblr media
- “In my opinion you have taken this entire very important project far too lightly.” “On the contrary, sir— I think this project is very important. It is you I take lightly.” KIRK ON THAT BITCH SHIT
- Kirk: Cyrano Jones— a Klingon agent? *laughs*
Baris: You heard me.
Kirk: I heard you.
Spock: He simply could not believe his ears.
- “You can’t deny he’s distrusted this station!” You cannot deny these nuts!
- Kirk says “Au Revoir”
- Kirk has accepted his tribble fate. Him rising out of the pile. Someone got to just throw tribbles at Kirk
- McCoy comes in with a miraculous solution and then leaves to find another.
- “Mr.Baris, they like you. Well there’s no accounting for taste.”
- McCoy’s explaining the grain was poisoned. McCoy sounds more southern when happy.
- It’s not a passing around of admiration, they’re passing around blame lol. They did something bad
Tumblr media
- whispering “you gave them to the klingons?” Oh my goddd
- I love everyone laughing and Spock just making this face
Tumblr media
Genuinely loved this episode and was laughing throughout it. I am susceptible to tribbles.

I must admit reading Cyrano de Bergerac gets a little funny at times as someone who has a hard time considering people pretty if they don't have an enormous or crooked nose
#Cyrano de Bergerac#I should probably delete this later#I talk too much#He is even more self-conscious in the play than he is in any adaptation#He is so worried about being abhorrent and ugly due to his nose that he doesn't even permit himself to cry#because he doesn't want to stain the transcendence of tears with its ugliness#And here I stand reading this as someone who gets made fun of by friends and family and pretty much anyone who knows me#because I only find beautiful people with big noses#Twice it has happened that someone has commented on someone else's nose being exaggeratedly deviated to one side#and after realising their impolite mistake these people saved face by saying that I found those things beautiful#I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I have a hard time recognising people unless they have particular features or gestures#Anyway... Unfortunately they are right when I'm made fun of due to this#because I looked up the record of biggest nose out of curiosity and I dig that too#Cyrano dear I hope you're terribly ugly other than due to the nose because otherwise Le Bret is right and you deserve to be punched#But on the other hand it also adds something if he isn't? I just watched José Ferrer's version of the play#and I think they tried to make Christian and Cyrano kinda look alike? And that was so very interesting#I loved it. How it's mostly his insecurity what plays against him and he isn't even all that ugly#And how in the way he talks and his beautiful voice and his gestures and words‚ kindness and deeds#he ends up appearing charismatic and attractive if not beautiful#while Christian‚ who at first looks like the prettiest version of Cyrano in this adaptation‚ends up being totally forgettable in an instant#At times you could barely tell them apart

Hey I really I like the how the Drayton and Lacey x Elesa’s kid turned out, thanks! I wanted to ask if you could do an expansion on that.
What if the reader started to get eating disorders or unhealthy eating habits trying to live up to their’s mom’s legacy (maybe excessive battling too.)
Also how would they react around their partner pokemon, Zebstrika. How would react if Elesa came for a surprise visit (I headcanon elesa as a good mom since she helped out Bianca in Pokémon black and white)
Oooo, it's been awhile since I wrote about any heavy topics like this. I will go ahead and say though, massive trigger warning for eating disorders. This is all fiction of course, but stay safe out there!
Being Elesa's kid, part 2:
Content Warning: Eating Disorders
Tumblr media
Lacey is the first to notice your discomfort. She asks why you're not eating your food, and you respond that you're just not hungry. She lets it go at first, but then she notices that you start to skip even more meals and spend more time training your Pokemon.
Days go by and you haven't eaten anything. One day you mention to her that maybe you're eating too many calories for the day, and she finally has enough. She drags you aside and demands to weigh you, despite your protests.
You've lost... a lot of weight. Too much. Lacey pales as she looks between you and the scale.
"Y/N... We need to get you some help." She says quietly. "This isn't right."
You have an argument with her. You keep insisting you don't need help, that you're perfectly fine-- but Lacey knows you better than that. She points out that your Zebstrika has been looking tired from exhaustion (from excessive training), and that she's worried you've developed an eating disorder. She urges you to get help. You yell at her that she's been ignoring you lately, so maybe she should just mind her own business, because she's much prettier than you anyway.
...There's silence.
"Y/N, is that what this is about?" She asks finally. "What's going on?"
Apparently you had been bullied online after posting pictures of yourself with Lacey and Drayton. They would comment that someone like you didn't deserve to be friends with the likes of them-- they were important people, and you were just some nobody. They made fun of you for being Elesa's kid, saying they couldn't even tell because you looked nothing like your mom.
You had a mental breakdown after showing all of this to Lacey. Drayton came in just then because he heard shouting, and Lacey caught him up on the situation.
Drayton comforts you patiently as you sob into his shoulder, but his blood is boiling on the inside. Those bullies hurt you like this, they tore you apart... He would find them and give them hell.
Using his connections in the school as well as talking to Director Cyrano, he tracks down the bullies. He breaks their spirits in battle, strips them of their ranks, and leaves the rest of their punishment to the director.
Lacey is by your side the entire time, making sure you're taken care of physically and mentally. She wants to scold you, but she decides it can wait. Right now, your health is more important.
When Drayton gets back, he showers you with affection-- kisses, hugs, and cuddling. You fall asleep next to him, exhausted from such a long day.
Drayton swears to protect you. You're his only treasure, after all. He'll guard you with his life.
Elesa visits a week later after she hears the news. She's worried sick, asking you questions and checking your vitals. When you tell her you'll be fine, she starts crying a bit and hugs you.
"Oh darling... You don't need to hide around me. I'm always here for you. You will always be good enough for me." She whispers. You end up crying too, and Elesa makes sure you get the help you need before she departs. She even pays for your therapy.
Your Zebstrika has a bit of trouble trusting you, even after you start getting help. It wore itself out to exhaustion because of your training.
You tell Zebstrika with a heavy heart that if it wants to be with another trainer, you would be more than willing to release it or trade it away. To your surprise though, your Pokemon forgives you.
Zebstrika saw the pain you endured. It heard you cry yourself to sleep at night reading comments online. It wants to stay by your side, just this once.

Oh you have to tell me about starscream leads and jazz helps
LOL This one is fun. I have this idea that Megatron "dies," and Starscream legitimately takes over. He's trying to secure his power by asking what everyone WANTS- and most (especially Soundwave) actually say they just want to go home and quit the war. So, as long as he can lead the pile, Starscream starts to negotiate with the Autobots to consider a truce.
Jazz is ecstatic. He's keeping tabs on intelligence gathering, seeing Starscream lay the groundwork for actual legitimate peace, and he encourages everyone to go through with it. He even starts to drop hints to Starscream when he sees someone start to be a little extra.
They show up for the final peace treaty- and lo and behold, Megatron reappears. Soundwave immediately blames Starscream for surrendering to the Autobots, etc- unexpected Soundwave villain here lol- and Megatron drags the seeker back to their base and reestablishes his authority.
But that gets Jazz thinking how close they were- and so he starts to try and help Starscream out. He might even promise a bonding with the Prime! Despite falling for the seeker himself ;) Kind of Cyrano de Bergerac shenanigans lol
THANK YOU FOR ASKING

was mashiro trying to trap him? was she running a human trafficking business? hanbin doubts were eating him up as he made his way to the spot lee jeonghyeon told him to meet him at. the unknown boy seemed a bit too defensive for hanbin, and he was also asking himself who could be the 'pair' he mentionned.
finally, hanbin arrived around the area given by jeonghyeon, and he noticed him pretty quickly, sitting on a bench with a boy that seemed familiar. seeing jeonghyeon waving to him, hanbin got closer to them, squinting his eyes trying to see better who was the boy with him.
"kim taerae??"
"yeah...that's my name..."
hanbin and taerae used to be very close friends when they were in high school. after graduating, they fell apart like most people do. unconfortable, taerae scratched the back of his neck, while jeonghyeon looked at the two boys in confusion.
"well, i guess you guys know each other." getting no response from the two guys with him, jeonghyeon sighed. "this is awkward, get it together, we have business to talk about."
jeonghyeon tapped on the bench to incite hanbin to sit down with them, and he does.
"so... what did you mean by 'working in pair', jeonghyeon?" hanbin started.
"basically, i'm not y/n's ex. taerae is."
"what? but mashiho told me it was you... what were you if it was taerae dating her?"
"okay, this is gonna be humiliating" said taerae, hiding his face in his hands.
"i'm his ghostwriter." jeonghyeon deadpanned.
a silence fell on the trio. forget about the humain trafficking business, mashiro might be running one, but it was definitly not what was happening right now. hanbin felt like taerae and jeonghyeon were pulling some pranks on him, but the way jeonghyeon seemed serious about it and the way taerae was as red as a tomato was concerning. hanbin coughed to clear his voice.
"what do you mean?"
"have you ever heard of edmond rostand's play called cyrano de bergerac?" jeonghyeon asked.
"hum... yeah, i think matthew mentionned it once."
"you see, in this play, christian is too much of a loser to court the girl he likes. so, he asks his friend cyrano to write love letters in his place."
"are you telling me..."
"i was taerae's cyrano de bergerac back when he tried to get with y/n."
this is when hanbin understood why mashiro told him to talk with this guy. she was advicing him to do the same as taerae, in other words, to ask jeonghyeon to be his cyrano de bergerac. "what happened to you, hanbin? you used to be a perfectly capable man and now look where you at for some girl.." he thought. was it better to just drop the project? were you even worthy of all of this? just when hanbin was thinking of just not courting you anymore, his eyes met your figure that was going out of the college hall, walking slowly with your earphones on, heading somewhere alone. at this time of the day, you were probably going to work. looking at you from afar, hanbin couldn't help but think of the things that attracted him to you. sure, he didn't know you that much now, but he had the feeling that you might be the someone he could at least be very good friends with. it was not just about his ego being hurt by the rejection, he genuinely wanted to know you more. in eyes, you definitly worth it.
seeing hanbin lost in his thoughts, not even looking at them, jeonghyeon and taerae exchanged a confused look before looking in the direction hanbin's was staring. taerae was the one to notice you first, looking back to hanbin. he gently hit jeonghyeon with his elbow to tell him to follow their plan, unknown to hanbin. his partner in crime jumped, before understanding what taerae meant.
"well, hanbin. if you want it, we can help you with that. hire me freely as your cyrano de bergerac and i'll get you to talk with y/n in a way that she will like. even though i don't really understand what you see in her, and i would recommand you to find any other girl-"
"i don't need you to understand what i see in her, this isn't about your feelings for her but mines." hanbin said, cutting him off.
"i was just advicing you, man. you don't have to react like that."
"keep them to yourself if you're gonna speak ill to people i like in front of my face."
jeonghyeon restrained a smile as he gave a quick look to taerae, before focusing back on hanbin. he raised his hands to tell the boy he was giving up on debating this topic, and hanbin sighed.
"look, i really appreciate you guys taking your time to meet me for this, but i don't think this is gonna work." hanbin got up, giving them a polite and awkward smile before leaving with quick steps. the duo still on the bench looked at him from afar, waiting for him to be far enough.
"it seems like he passed the test, right?" taerae said.
"and i'm glad he did that fast, it was hard talking bad about y/n. let's dm mashiho and hao."
