okie florist x tattoo artist jakemuel then 📝
🌼
"just do whatever," jake scoffs at samuel's hesitation. "'s not my first time."
"not your first time?" he responds teasingly, but without looking his latest customer. samuel's too busy going through pages of different tattoo designs, wondering which of them are pretty enough to mar jake's skin. "that sucks, i really hoped i was your first."
he wished jake didn't hear it. after all, pretty boy's fixated on his phone and taking orders for flower arrangements. jake's too rough to be a florist, samuel thought at first. but up close, he's able to see how dainty jake's hands are – soft, smooth, veiny, just the right amount of nimble to handle flowers. god, he's thankful to be tattooing him now.
"artist's block?"
"what?"
"you've been staring too long at my hand. no good designs come to mind?" samuel thinks he's getting dizzy. jake's turned his full attention on him, and the tattoo studio's never been brighter. samuel's unable to respond.
"honestly i thought you were gonna go for something childish, or something like this," jake takes samuel's wrist and traces the cowboy emoji tattoo samuel had when he lost a bet. "it's actually good you're tryna think this through, yeah?"
it's funny, because samuel wasn't thinking it through. there's just no way he's able to function when jake's in his presence, even more touching him. he's forgot to put his guards up.
sure, he could flirt his way out of this like he always does. but why would he? with the way the sunlight passes through the studio's window and touches jake's features the right way — there's no way he's gonna trade anything for this view. pride comes later.
he spends few more minutes browsing as jake takes a client call.
"found it," samuel says right when jake comes back, "the thing i wanna tattoo on you."
🌼
"you didn't lie about it," samuel takes a water break. the design he chose wasn't complicated, at all. t'was just hard when he gotta tatt while keeping himself in check.
"lie 'bout what?"
"this not being your first time. you barely moaned." samuel teases.
but jake's an immovable force. instead of feeling embarrassed, he tilts his head to the side and stares at samuel. "should i moan for you? you'd like that?"
samuel thinks this shit's unfair. he can pass it off as some silly joke and pay no heed to the man in front of him. he's just tryna do his job, so why, why, why, does he feel the need to stare back at jake? this was coercion.
they lock eyes. no one dares say a word.
meow. thankfully ryuhei's stupid cat was there to break the silence, the unwanted tension. he'll beat himself up for being so whipped later.
work first.
🌼
"ain't no way," jake holds in a chuckle. he stares at his wrist, checking what kind of art samuel's immortalizing on his skin. "flowers, because i'm a florist?"
"flowers because you're a florist," samuel says it back.
he's clearly not in the mood to bicker, eyes focused on the work he's doing. his lips already swollen from being bitten again and again, and he hopes nobody thinks of it as anything. save for the boner he's been trying to hide, he's just an artist tryna concentrate. yup.
🌼
they're finally at that stage – finishing touches.
it means samuel's concentration has worn off already. now he's hyperaware that their skin are touching, and if this were any other man he'd be fine. but it's jake kim. his high school wet dreams personified. fuck this, he just wants to finish. finish work, that is.
"i don't hate it," jake lets out a comment. he really didn't talk much throughout the entire thing, and samuel felt him stare at him a few times as he was inking jake's wrist, but he was resolved to pay no heed to it. boners come later, remember?
"you shouldn't," he's now cleaning up the tatt, full attention to wiping it down. this would've been a normal tattoo session if only jake's winces didn't echo on his brain. "like, why would you hate it? i didn't do badly at all. looks good to me."
"no, no, tatt is good..."
"yep, tatt is good. i did that."
"i don't hate it, you being corny like this," jake points at the tattoo. "i admire you being romantic and all, but you should've known you were talking to a florist."
and samuel's sitting there in his full tattoo artist aesthetic glory — leather vest, ripped jeans, black boots — flustered. it was at this moment he knew he was dumb.
he didn't think it through. fuck.
"gardenias, secret love." jake really just called him out like that. samuel didn't even have the wits to feign ignorance. time just stopped.
but in that moment, something bloomed. just like a fated scene in any disney movie, wind blows at the right time in the tattoo studio.
it smelled of flowers. such a strong floral scent lingered the air. jake, the florist that he is, looks in the direction of where the flowers are.
"oh."
samuel stares at the flowers. he didn't even notice jake brought anything when he entered the studio. but he knows it's from jake, all too familiar with the flower shop's branding and style.
"gardenias too."
i got tired to finish properly
ty 4 prompt i love u @nivotron

Letter for him
Sufletele pereche sunt jumătatea ta mai buna. Persoanele acelea care te completează în cel mai armonios mod, langa care poți fi cea mai buna versiune a ta de pana acum - un yin și yang format dintr-un amalgam de sentimente și trăiri ce nu pot fi exprimate sau definite la perfecție. Cum iti dai seama ca ți-ai găsit sufletul pereche, și chiar el este acela? Îl simți. Pur și simplu, îl simți. Atât. Se simte pana când nu se mai simte.
Timpul se oprește în loc de fiecare data când sunteți împreună, indiferent de când de banala este activitatea în desfășurare. Este o înțelegere în 2 care se face prin priviri, prin gesturi, și când uneori cuvintele sunt de prisos. Știi la ce se gândește celălalt fără prea mult efort, ca și cum ati fi fost împreună nu de săptămâni, luni sau ani, ci de câteva vieți întregi. 
O astfel de conexiune este o binecuvântare pentru unii, pentru foarte putini oameni care au norocul sa treacă măcar o data în viață prin așa o experiență. Din nefericire, nu toți avem acest privilegiu - dar eu l-am avut. 
Când toate erau degeaba și nimic din jurul meu nu mai avea sens din nicio perspectiva pe care încercăm sa o abordez, tu mi-ai fost alături. Mi-ai oferit o energie unica și o prezenta de care probabil nu voi mai avea parte din nou în aceasta viață. Nu m-am bucurat și nu am prețuit-o cât ar fi trebuit - dar oh, cât de recunoascatoare iti sunt TIE, jumatate mai buna a sufletului meu. Singurul lucru pozitiv și care mi-a adus un zâmbet larg pe buze și mai ales în inima, când nimic nu reușea. 
Atatea momente pe care aș putea sa le descriu aici, desi aleg sa le păstrez pentru mine, în amintirile mele pana la ultima suflare. Sunt multe, profunde și mereu unice. Nu ne-am ales și cu toate astea, ne-am găsit în cel mai nepotrivit moment, dar când timpul nu a ținut de nicio culoare cu noi doi. Toate au mers bine pana când au mers pe dos, și ai plecat. 
Nu ai vrut, sau poate da. Vreau sa cred ca nu, și inima îmi spune un singur lucru doar. Nu vom știi niciodată pana când nu ne vom regăsi din nou. În aceasta sau în alta viață. 
La fel de ușor cum mi-ai dat lumea peste cap în cel mai frumos mod, la fel mi-ai zdrobit pământul de sub picioare și m-ai lăsat sa cad; sa mă afund în acest întuneric gol și sumbru, fără ca o raza de lumina care să-mi arate calea înapoi, calea ce duce afara la caldura, la tine. 
Aș fi ipocrita sa nu recunosc cât de mult mă deranjează, cât m-a durut, cât de obosita este inima mea și în câte bucăți s-a spart intr-o singura clipita. Și totodata, aș fi mincinoasa sa nu recunosc cât de mult iti doresc fericirea, cu sau fără mine, dar una adevarata și pura, precum am fost noi. Poate. Sper. Amandoi vom fi, separat; dar nimic nu va inlocui legatura de neinlocuit pe care am avut-o.
Din acest motiv, trebuie să-mi ascund cu totul ochii, să-mi blochez picioarele obosite și inima țăndări; s-o opresc din a mai bate, atât de tare, dur. Sa nu mai fug după fantome și sa nu mai scot măcar un sunet, de frica zgomotului ce învăluie orice colțișor atins. O singura speranță, mică precum o raza de soare din acele dimineți reci de Octombrie, e puternic inradacinata în adâncul acestui suflet părăsit și acum singur, fara pereche. Si totodata, e aproape de moarte.
Lacrimile reci, șuvoaie și suspine înecate nu-și mai au un rost, ci marchează un dor necontenit care și-a pus amprenta pe același suflet incomplet. Rest de sentimente de surprindere și lipsa de credință, lipsa de cuvinte, explicații, tot - au rămas în aer, sunete și gânduri surde. Prea multe am să-ți spun și în zadar...
Inelul tău uitat la gâtul meu, și rânduri de cerneala șterse, de mult uitate. Promisiuni ce sunt acum doar vorbe goale. Inel ce-l pastrez ascuns in semn de a-l proteja pe el, pe mine, pe noi. Va fi mereu aici, precum au fost si restul.
Adio, tu - suflet pereche. Pana când ne vom vedea din nou - în aceasta sau în alta viață, pentru totdeauna.

Friday Fictioneers 280224- Gift
©Fleur Lind The photograph loomed like a giant threatening to topple over the present. It was the family’s first car. Little Anil had rammed it into the neighbour’s wall on its first day at home.   He’d gone on his first road trip in it, driving along the West coast- he and three of his friends. In their twenties- out of college- ready to take on the world. Anil smiled at the memory. He’d had…

The Spice of English, How Dune Can Lead You Along The Golden Path Of Your Language Journey...  
Tumblr media
Frank Herbert's Dune is a masterpiece of science fiction that has captivated readers for over half a century. One of the most striking aspects of the novel is Herbert's writing style, which is both poetic and philosophical.
The Dune series is a classic work of science fiction that has captivated readers for decades. Its intricate plotlines, complex characters, and rich vocabulary make it an excellent tool for any English students looking to improve their skills while exploring the world of science fiction.
One of the key benefits of reading the Dune series is the vocabulary-building opportunities it presents. The series includes many specialised terms related to ecology, politics, religion, and science fiction, which can be challenging for students. However, by reading and analysing the story, students can build their vocabulary and expand their understanding of these topics.
In addition to building vocabulary, the Dune series can help students develop their reading comprehension skills. The complex plotlines and themes require careful analysis and interpretation, which can help students develop their critical thinking skills and improve their ability to understand and interpret complex texts.
As language learners read the Dune series, they can also practice their writing skills by summarising and analysing the story, expressing their ideas and opinions about the themes and characters, and even writing their own science fiction stories inspired by the series.
Moreover, the Dune series can allow ESL students to practice their conversation skills. As a classic work of science fiction, the series is an excellent topic for discussion, allowing students to engage in meaningful conversations with their peers or teachers and practice their speaking and listening skills.
Finally, reading the Dune series can help ESL students develop cultural literacy. The series has significantly influenced popular culture, with references to the series appearing in movies, TV shows, and other works of science fiction. By reading the Dune series, students can gain a deeper appreciation of science fiction as a genre and improve their understanding of cultural references related to the series.
In conclusion, the Dune series offers a wealth of opportunities for students to improve their English skills while exploring the world of science fiction. Through vocabulary building, reading comprehension, writing practice, conversation practice, and cultural literacy, ESL students can develop their language abilities and explore the rich themes and ideas presented in this classic work of science fiction. 
So, let's embark on a journey to Arrakis and join the quest for The Spice!
Here are some English vocabulary words, phrases, and fixed expressions commonly used in the Dune series.
Vocabulary:
Ecology, is the study of living organisms and their relationships with each other and their environment.
Melange, which is the fictional drug in the Dune series, has a variety of effects on the body and mind.
Kwisatz Haderach, is a male Bene Gesserit who has access to the collective memories of his female ancestors.
The Fremen, are a group of desert nomads inhabiting the planet Arrakis.
Bene Gesserit, is an order of women with exceptional mental and physical abilities.
Guild Navigator, who is a human with mutated powers and bodies, navigates spacecraft through space because of the use of Melange and spice.
Sardaukar, which is an elite military force in the service of the Padishah Emperor.
Paul Muad'Dib, who is the main character in the series, is also known as Muad'Dib.
Phrases you need to know:
Fear is the mind-killer, which is a Bene Gesserit mantra used to overcome fear.
The spice must flow, which is a phrase used to emphasise Melange's importance to the Dune universe's economy and society.
The sleeper has awakened, which is a phrase used to indicate that someone has become aware of their true potential or destiny.
He who controls the spice controls the universe, which is a phrase used to describe the immense power and influence of the spice.
A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people, which is a quote from the character Leto Atreides, emphasising the importance of strong leadership.

Bright lights in the early hours of morning, a shock to tired, sleepy eyes. The little space in the back of the room, ready for your attention. It’s 600am and there’s much to prepare before the actual work begins.
The unwieldy operating table, heavy and immovable and you have to maneuver around it to get to your machine and workstation.
The anesthesia machine in its usual place by the oxygen at the wall, the connections looping from the ceiling, heavy hoses you have to prop up against your computer so they don’t knock you in the face.
The pungent, now-familiar stench of Sevoflurane, when I struggle to refill the canister.
You will yourself awake. Rifling through memories of passwords to pyxis machines, computers. The colorful drug label stickers. 5 syringes--benzo, narc, numbing agent, sedative, and paralysis, in that order-- drawn up. A breathing tube, syringe, and stylet as one unit. A disposable handle preferred for its lighter weight compared to its heavier counterpart, and a blade of your choice, attached and at the ready. An oral airway, just in case, to ward off evil spirits. And a bougie you never really use, but always make sure you have, in the side pocket of your station. This, if the breathing circuit and machine are checked, complete “The Set-Up.” 
You have to see yourself in the operating room, the administrator had told me, a way to rattle me into some sort of motivation to be better, more secure practitioner. I think about that now, and wonder if this is what she meant.
