Only Fools Rush In

So the setup for this is that Hob and Dream are professors in their forties at the same university, they’re friends who are very much pining for each other. They’re not oblivious, just taking things slow. Unfortunately, some meddling students and staff didn’t get the memo 😅

There will be more parts to this fic - as the word count kept running away from me I just decided to split it up and post the parts separately, however, I cannot promise when the next part will be completed.

——

Part 1

“Seriously? Where are your gloves? Hat? Scarf? Literally anything to keep you warm??”

Dream scoffs at getting scolded upon sight, taking the few more steps necessary to join Hob at the entrance to the outdoor ice skating rink.

“I’m warm enough,” he argues, earning a disbelieving look from Hob, who takes off his own gloves and grabs Dream’s hand, finding it cold, as expected. Dream snatches his hand away with a petulant pout.

Hob laughs at him. “You’re freezing! And you’re ridiculous! Having a fashion style to uphold is all fine and dandy, but dressed like this you’re just asking to catch a cold!”

“I thought I was here to try ice-skating, not to get a lecture on the way I dress,” Dream grumbles. “Besides, won’t I warm up by the activity? All this fuss is unnecessary.”

He makes for the door of the building where ice skates can be rented, with a ‘the sooner to get this over with, the better’ attitude.

Hob follows, raising an eyebrow at him: “Oh, Mr. Confident thinks he’ll be skating circles around me in no time? We’ll see how you’ll feel about the lack of gloves and padded clothing when you’ll end up on your arse, time and time again!”

Dream rolls his eyes. “I’m sure that was your exact intention when picking this activity, making a fool of me, all for your amusement.”

“Hey, I won the bet fair and square! Didn’t you have a blast when you won the last one, making me shave my stubble clean and draw a fake beard on? The students weren’t able to look at me in class without bursting into laughter!”

Dream cannot help but grin at the memory. “You were able to captivate them with the material nonetheless.”

“Yeah, but I had to work twice as hard to shift their attention away from the beard!”

—

They keep bickering as they rent a pair of skates each, finding a spot on the bench to change into them. Hob demonstrates how to properly tie the skates.

After Dream’s finished, he checks Dream’s work, grabbing onto the skates and testing the wiggle room.

“It needs to be tighter. Tied loosely and your ankles would move about, unsupported. You could get hurt.”

Dream nods, listening carefully. Hob is the expert here, or at least the one with lots of experience to draw from.

“Here, let me help you,” Hob slips from the bench down to his knees, Dream’s foot held in between them, and reties his laces, pulling them tight. Dream blinks rapidly, surprised by the action.

“There, that’s better,” Hob says, looking up and laughing at whatever expression it is that he finds on Dream’s face. “What? No one has ever tied your shoes for you before?”

Dream huffs. “Of course not,” he says, cheeks a little rosier than before, and lowers his gaze down, as if to inspect Hob’s work.

Luckily, Hob doesn’t tease more, he slowly stands up and then offers Dream an inviting hand. “Ready to rock and roll?”

Dream sighs. “Ready as I’ll ever be,” and takes Hob’s hand.

—

The ice rink isn’t too crowded, which is good. Firstly because they have room to move slowly on the ice, with Hob skating backwards and helping Dream learn the ropes without the danger of being run over by someone. And secondly, it means there are less witnesses to Dream’s mortifying struggles.

“Why, again, is this considered fun?” He grumbles, letting Hob pull him forward slowly, feeling extremely embarrassed as he can’t figure out how to move forward on his own without turning it into awkward stumbling rather than skating.

Hob laughs, squeezing Dream’s hands tighter.

“It is fun, it just takes some time to get into it. You’ve gotta lean forward a little, you’re too stiff and upright,” he advises.

Hob explains and demonstrates the right motions to him, over and over with great patience. Dream tries his best to follow the advice, and after a while, it does get better. Hob praises him and asks if he wants to try on his own for a bit, but Dream gives him an anxious look.

“Hmm, maybe you could try with the skating aid?” Hob suggests.

Dream grimaces. “Over my dead body,” he says, prompting Hob to burst into laughter again.

“Okay, got it. No skating aid for grown-up Dream. How about you skate near the boards and I'll be on your other side, so you could have something to grab on when you feel unstable?”

Dream nods.

Hob moves into position on his left side. Dream skates forward a few feet, wobbles and immediately grabs onto Hob’s arm with both hands, holding on for dear life.

Hob chuckles. “That’s alright, you’re doing great! Mistakes and falls are an inevitable part of the learning process!”

Dream glares at him. “Thanks for the tip, professor Gadling.”

Hob grins. “I’m no professor here, just an ice-skating teacher.”

“Whatever. Hold my hand,” Dream commands, and Hob happily obliges.

They do a few rounds like that, and it’s…actually not bad. Dream is getting used to the mechanics of the movement and he’s not that anxious with a steady support by his side.

He tries speeding up, and it works. He maybe even starts to feel a little bit of that excitement that attracts people to practice this activity regularly.

“You’re doing amazing!” Hob says, and Dream cannot help but preen.

He raises an eyebrow at Hob: “What were you saying earlier, about me landing on my arse again and again?”

Hob laughs. “Clearly, you have a good teacher!”

Dream snorts. “Clearly, I am a good student.”

“That you are,” Hob says with a smile, and pulls Dream to skate faster.

And faster.

And Dream stumbles on uneven ice, falling backwards and taking Hob with him.

They both land on their arses.

Hob, of course, reacts to this with laughter. Dream really doesn’t know where that man takes all that optimism from.

“Sorry, my bad, I went too fast!”

“Yes, you do that,” Dream mutters under his nose.

“Pardon?” Hob asks, brows furrowed as he picks himself up from the ice and holds out a hand for Dream.

Dream looks at the outstretched hand but doesn’t take it. “You’ll have to have patience with me, Hob. I don’t have the guts for barrelling into things headfirst anymore.”

“It’s generally recommended to avoid barrelling into anything while you’re ice skating,” Hob jokes. Dream gives him a look and this time Hob does catch on that Dream’s not talking about ice-skating anymore.

His gaze softens. “You can take all the time you need, Dream, I’m not in a rush.”

He plops down onto the ice next to Dream, back against the boards. “Wanna just chill here for a while?”

Dream gives him an unimpressed look. “We can’t sit here, we’re in people’s way.”

“Eh, they’ll make do for a minute.”

Dream shakes his head and pulls them both up to stand again. “I should get back on the horse, shouldn’t I?”

Hob grins. “I think that’s a different sport, love.”

Dream rolls his eyes. “It’s called an idiom, you twit.”

Dream dusts off his gloved hands and picks up the hat that he was wearing. Hob actually forced his own gloves and hat on him before they started and Dream has to admit to himself that he’s glad for them now. Of course, he’s not about to voice that and give Hob the satisfaction. The pompom on top of the hat is silly, but it does keep Dream’s ears warm, so he’s willing to commit this small fashion crime in the name of comfort.

To top it all off, Hob’s knitted Doctor Who scarf is now also in Dream’s possession. He has no objections to that one, though it does look better on Hob.

He would feel guilty for leaving Hob to freeze but the man’s actually wearing a big puffer jacket, zipped up to his chin. And his cheeks are endearingly rosy when he smiles at Dream, which is also, uhm, something.

“Shall we?” Hob asks, and Dream reaches for his hand again. This time, Hob doesn’t pull, but matches Dream’s own tempo.

[solitaireships]

Your f/o always appreciates having you around. Just getting to be near you is enough to provide them with comfort. They know that you'll always be there for them, and even just the sight of you can help them to feel better when they're at their lowest moments

happy new year to all self shippers !! <33

#im really glad i created this blog last year #one of my goals for this new year is to post more about my f/os and the very specific scenarios i have with them #also gushing and that kind of stuff kdbks #i love to see that kind of posts from my mutuals and i feel like i do them less than i actually want to #thank you sm for your support durinf the year!! i love your reblog tags and asks and everything yall are amazing #i hope this will be a great year for everyone #hoping the best for everyone out there #f/o community #self ship community #selfshipping #self shipping #self shipping community #selfship #selfshipper #self shipper

[pagib1g]

none of my business whether yall self ship with hazbin hotel characters or whatever, but since im seeing an influx of it (likely because of the new show) i'd like to remind yall to please boycott it (and pirate it if you must). it is being hosted on amazon, one of the BDS's pressure targets in the strike for palestine's cause– while it is acknowledged that you realistically cannot fully boycott targets like amazon (because of their monopoly over shipping), it will still be helpful to drop things sponsored by it that you ultimately do not need.

the self ship community has presented itself as an open and diverse community for years– prove it by being willing to stop giving profit to media that has a stake in hurting others.

support palestinian self shippers.

#this also applies to media such as: the last of us / percy jackson / stranger things / scream / etc #and the flag means death too btw. especially with what that 'charity' was saying about causes like palestine #understand that no one's asking you to fully give these things up but you should at least minimize it #and understand that while these medias and your f/os are sources of comfort to you they are still ultimately luxuries #luxuries that a lot of palestinians cannot indulge in rn #it might be easy for some of yall to dismiss them as numbers but theyre people just like us. they enjoyed fandoms they indulged in daydreams #they make art they write stories. but right now they cannot #one beloved artist in the jjk community (noury) recently lost her eye. she will not be able to create art the same way she used to #know that and acknowledge how lucky you are. #so many fandoms and safe spaces online fall into traps of individualism and justify it with therapyspeak #like 'im looking out for my mental health!' please dont fall into this trap too. remember you must care for others #long post #self ship #self ship community

Because these three are living rentfree in my head...

(Has anybody else ever thought of this trio?)

(maybe) #not it saves him from back pain #meanwhile Tails got a Toph situation in which his 200yo body shrunk back to his 8yo height #🤔 what if...🤔 what if...🤔 what if i created an askblog for this?🤔 #and they fight every time... #como os velhotes da minha família que acham que o mundo gira emtorno de Lula e Bostonaro #dadow #Shadow the Hedgehog #Tails the fox #Miles Prower #Knuckles thw Echidna #Silver the Hedgehog

“well I don’t read/watch the news bc they arent objective and have a clear agenda” as opposed to where. where can you get pure, unbiased news from. unsourced posts on tumblr? infographics on instagram? highschoolers on twitter? facebook? tiktok? be serious.

#relying on 15 y/os with mediocre photoshop skills for information is really going to kick it to the guys at Big Journalism #like there’s first hand sources by civilians on social media and there are *gestures* #there’s never going to be a source that gives you 100% of the information. just do your research and rely on at least 2-3 diff sites #and you can always ​further google and investigate at your own will like #like social media is a breeding hub for clickbait. sites relying on engagement instead of substance create the most brains #*braindead discussions known to man. #mine*

I want an oc f/o.

Technically I already have Sookie and Noah but... they're still their own persons. They don't really count. Also they live on my main blog.

I want a character to hyperfixate on from a source no one knows. I just don't wanna feel stressed about being up to date in a big fandom. I don't wanna feel jealous of other selfshippers.

Which means I have to create my own f/o :>

#;babbling phia #stupid thoughts again #I LOVE being hyperfixated on fandom stuff #as I can only look it up on pinterest and feel happy #with oc f/o I have to create it myself #and I already have so many ocs ouuugghh #I'm so damn picky about what I like it's hard to... focus on new characters etc. #uhm yeah as you might have guessed my fixation on my current f/os is a little 'meh' rn #and I want to focus on my ocs anyways... #tbh I love all my main male ocs :> but they already have oc partners (who I also love) #and... I don't see them in a romantic way for... me

[roboraindrop]

Hm. I think I'm depressed.

#rain rambles #I've been in bed literally all day. i fell asleep at 6am and its 8pm and i havent left bed nor do i plan on it #i havent taken care of myself in a while. #ive been struggling to find the motivation to create despite really wanting to #ive been taking my meds so i really dont understand why everything is still so.... overwhelming #being a Person Who Exists is hard #I'm sad and I just..... want my f/os

Just as we were talking about putting Casper in a maid dress, game developers posted this:

Well, that's not something I was expecting to happen so fast, but I'm not complaining.

#Anyways... HE LOOKS SO CUTE #Also because of him I'm considering creating a separate from “f/os” category that would be “crushes”

[torchiiko]

certain f/o positivity posts are so fascinating 2 me bc they imply a world where your f/o can be physically present with you while also still having an online fandom space. curious what it means

did your f/o get isekaid? are they just real now? do ppl care they have an actual irl partner? how do they feel abt the fanbase?

did you get isekaid? do you still have your phone with our worlds internet on it? are you canon to the lore now? do ppl start shipping you & your f/o bc your relationship is canon?

much to ponder

#imagine isekai-ing into your f/os source & creating an alternate reality where the source suddenly has you in it with no explanation #the creators dont know who you are. you were never written into any scenes. everything goes offscript now that youre there #there is a romance forming between you & your f/o and no one knows how or why & they cannot stop it #torch chatter
