-Jiwoong-
if that's what you want he would understand
he would be so sad though :((
he wouldn't annoy you by begging you to go back to bed
instead he stays up all night hoping you're gonna go back to him
but no you are stubborn and strong willed so you sleep on the couch
when you wake up to your surprise he is fast asleep next to you
-Hanbin-
oh hanbin :')
the moment you said you would sleep on the couch, hanbin was ALERT
he would not even let you make contact with the couch
"please let's just talk it out"
in the case that you don't want to talk to him though..
he would just hold your hand all night until you talk to him
and then he would talk through the argument and try to find a solution right away
hanbin just doesn't want you to go to sleep feeling sad or angry :(
so ofc our little hamster is going to do anything to make you feel better and to make up for the argument
-Hao-
Hao is an introvert
his first instinct is to give you space, since it's what he would want
so he would go to your shared bedroom thinking you would join him later
but when night time hit and you still weren't there he got worried
despite his begging you were adamant that you would sleep on the couch
so while you went to shower, he prepared anything you may need
blankets? check. comfy slippers? check?
but before you could even see him prepare all that for you
as quickly as he set that up, he quickly left to your shared bedroom
once you were fast asleep
hao would occasionally wake up to go check up on you
yes he understands that you're upset but that doesn't mean he's gonna stop being the amazing boyfriend he is
-Matthew-
the way this man would feel SO BAD (queue stayc)
the idea that you rather sleep on the uncomfy couch instead of the comfy bed in his arms..
yeah that was enough for him to run to you and apologize
matthew is sooo persistent
he would be apologizing all night and try to convince you to go back to bed
when you don't budge and are set on staying on the uncomfy couch
he takes matters into his own hand ;)
after an hour he has enough and flings you over his shoulder, takes you to the big bed, tucks you in and gives you a longing kiss
after doing so he is off the sleep in the couch
FORGIVE HIM PLS :(
-Taerae-
the way this man is so stubborn and petty
his pride is HIGH
he wouldn't even bat an eye when he sees you sleeping on the couch (BRO IS THAT PETTY)
he goes to bed in your shared bedroom not caring and giving you the cold shoulder
until 2 hours pass and he starts missing your warmth
that's when he gets up and looks at your sleeping figure from the hallway
he just stands there and contemplates whether he should wake you up
he does.
"i can't sleep please come back. im sorry i promise i won't do it again"
-Ricky-
this man is lucky he has such a face
at first he wouldn't tell you anything, his stare seems cold and blank when he sees you
he doesn't care, atleast on the outside
on the inside we know Ricky is literally crying
it hurts him so much seeing you rather be on the couch instead of with him
he lets you be and you fall asleep on the couch
to your surprise though when you wake up, you're met with the familiar morning light and the familiar blankets hugging your body
throughout the night, ricky watched until you fell asleep and when you he knew you were out, he carried you back to bed and slept next to you
when you turn around to see if ricky is in his usual spot, instead of your boyfriend you see a note
"im sorry please forgive me come to the kitchen"
when you get up and get to the kitchen you see multiple gifts and breakfast on the counter
a shy ricky holding the back of his neck saying "good morning"
-Gyuvin-
if you left the couch expecting to be alone, you are wrong.
the moment you leave to the couch, he is trailing behind you
gyuvin loves you too much he wouldn't let you be alone
lets alone would he let you go to sleep angry and alone
despite you not talking to him and giving him the cold shoulder
this man is cuddling up to you saying...
"i know you're upset but I love you and I don't want you feel like I don't"
you both end up making up but still sleep on the couch cuddled up together
when you wake up, gyuvin delivers breakfast in bed (the couch)
all day he is doing some sweet acts of service (THIS MAN IS SORRY FOR WHAT HE DID)
-Gunwook-
gunwook like hanbin would not let you fall asleep on the couch when you are upset
he understands what you are feeling and he wants you to know that
he insists that you guys fix the argument
when you refuse to (cause sometimes we be petty like that)
gunwookie sits on the floor next to the couch, holding your hand until you are willing to talk
when you can't take it anymore (he literally will not let go) you decide to give in and talk about the argument
you both talk and both apologize and come to an understanding
after communicating the problem you guys go to your shared bedroom holding each other
guys gunwook would be such an amazing boyfi

Experienced! Zb1 legal line and first time with their inexperienced! girlfriends
jiwoong is so honored and proud that you feel comfortable enough with him to have your first time with him. he would finger you first because he wants to make sure having sex is as painless as possible and he knows he’s big enough that it’ll hurt you if he goes in without prepping you. won’t make you cum on his fingers because he doesn’t want to overwhelm you with overstimulation and will be so so sweet. jiwoong would hold your hand and kiss all over your face the whole time to make sure you stayed comfortable and would check up on you and what you wanted constantly
hao can be really intense but he’s so in love with you and thinks it’s the sweetest thing ever how inexperienced you are. you’re his angel and he will treat you as such. goes in kind of slowly but he knows it’ll be best to just get the initial stretch over with so he just goes straight in. distracts you at first by telling you how much he loves you and how he would do anything for you. once you give him the ok to move he would go super slow until you’re practically begging him to speed up. will leave hickeys all over you’re neck because you’re too perfect and he couldn’t help himself
hanbin is so precious :((( he’s probably more nervous than you are because he really wants to make your first time special. he would take you out to a fancy restaurant and would bring you home to candles lit in your favorite scent and the lights dimmed. makes out with you for nearly an hour because he wants to give you time to change your mind and also make you wet enough for him to slide in without a problem. another one to hold your hand and praise you the entire time. he would thank you afterwards for trusting him enough to lose your virginity to
matthew kinda strikes me as the type to be pretty casual about it. he doesn’t want to make it a big deal and make you more nervous than you already are so he doesn’t really acknowledge it? like he’s extra gentle with you but tries to make it not scary. will ask you what position you want to be in and will definitely eat you out and finger you to make sure you’re ready because he’s so damn thick.
taerae literally calls jiwoong and asks him what to do when you tell him you want to lose your virginity to him. taerae has always been with people more experienced or on the same level as him because of his submissive tendencies and is scared he won’t do good enough as a dominant person. jiwoong has to reassure him that it’ll be ok and to just be gentle before he hyperventilates. he’ll have you ride him so you can choose the pace that feels best for you. when you get tired he’ll sit up and wrap his arms around you in a hug and gently bounce you on him, keeping with the pace you had previously set. you’ll both be whining messes in each others’ ears by the end of it
ricky is the sweetest ever. he’s young so he definitely doesn’t have the same experience level as some of the older members but he trusts himself. his main goal is to make you feel loved and know what it’s like to be properly satisfied so you don’t have a horror story first time about not cumming. at first he’ll let you take the lead, straddling his lap and dry humping him until you’re begging him to do something. he’d gently lay you down and would kiss you while he softly rubs your clit and fingers you to make sure you’re completely ready. once he’s confident you’re ready, he’ll go inch by inch to make sure you’re comfortable and will reassure you when you start to panic once you realize he’s only halfway inside. will thrust really shallowly and gently move your hair out of your face and kiss you the whole time. when ricky realizes you’re getting close, he’ll reach down and just barely apply pressure to your clit that’ll have you shaking and cumming around him

predictions for hsmtmts season 4:
rina endgame for some fucking reason (🍅🍅🍅)
they will not even mention nini at all and will try and gaslight us into thinking she never existed
ej will somehow end up being in the musical bc this show looooves not making sense
ricky will get troy despite giving nothing at the audition AGAIN
carlos gets another insulting role like... the guy who gets his gym uniform stolen by troy or smth
seb gets the worst role in the history of roles once again because the writers despise him (justice for seb i missed my bestie last season)
ashlyn and big red break up and ashlyn starts dating maddox (i hope, this may be a reach but i want it too bad to not believe 😔)
if the above happens: big red gets a boyfriend and it's either 1) a guy we've literally never met before, 2) howie (if him and kourtney break up), or 3) jet (if howie and kourt stay together)
miss jenn has another duet with lucas grabeel but this time she's not hallucinating
lucas grabeel and corbin bleu recreate i don't dance (this is more just me manifesting than a prediction but i NEED confirmation that chad and ryan were in love i beg-)

zerobaseone reaction ➵ s/o asking “notice something different about me?”
pairing : zb1 x gn!reader
genre : fluff, crack (?)
warnings : none.
a/n : this is my first zb1 post, as well as my first post in a while!! with that said, i want to apologize if these are a bit out of character for them, as i’m stil analyzing them a bit, so please understand!
jiwoong
he’s honest with you.
“uh, no.. what’s new?”
will try his best to guess if you refuse to tell him.
when he does find out what you changed - if you changed anything at all, he will make it his mission to compliment it every day to make up for missing it before.
zhanghao
“nothing is different about you, y/n.”
he’s so confident about it.
he notices every little thing, so of course he would notice if you changed something!
will just give you the ‘are you done’ look if you try to convince him he’s missing something.
hanbin
“oh, of course! your hair looks amazing today.”
he doesn’t notice anything, but doesn’t want to make you feel bad
panics a little when you tell him that you never changed your hair.
“oh? well it looks good anyway!”
tries to change the subject so that he doesn’t hurt your feelings since he didn’t notice anything different about you.
matthew
“no, but you look amazing!”
his smile will stop you from being upset that he didn’t notice.
will beg you to tell him so he can compliment it!
if you got a new shirt or something, he might consider buying the same one in a different color.
unrelated but i totally see him liking couples items idk why..
taerae
“y/n! you changed something? you didn’t tell me you were changing something!”
lowkey hurt you didn’t tell him you were gonna do something new lol.
notices pretty quickly what it is that you changed.
makes sure to tell you how much he likes it/how good it looks!
huuuugee smile on his face <3
ricky
“how was i supposed to know you changed something?”
lowkey shocked (?)
like how didn’t he notice???
apologizes tbh.
from now on, he keeps a close eye on you so he’ll never miss anything you change.
gyuvin
he looks so confused.
“you changed something?”
“did you really?”
is literally shocked that he didn’t notice something.
but you didn’t change anything??
right?
he won’t allow you to tell him what’s different, opting to try and guess.
he makes a game out of it jvbksnbfckjs.
gunwook
“you know i love you, y/n.”
he, in fact, did not notice anything new.
“well remember when you forgot [something from a long time ago]? this makes us even!”
you forgive him since who can stay mad at gunwook?
if it was a joke, pls don’t tell him

Hey boo! My birthday is this Saturday, May 6th, and I was wondering if you could possibly write some birthday smexy time with Ricky Starks for me...?
🥹🥹🥹
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BESTIE HOPE IT'S GOING WELL
Birthday Girl (Ricky Starks X Fem!Reader):
Word Count: 750
Summary: How Ricky Starks would treat you on your special day
Supreme Speaks: i love ricky starks with his nice handsome ass self. I don't typically write smut or suggestive things but here you go, I hope I did some justice to your imagination. My inbox and requests are open to everyone! P.S.: you are loved and greatly appreciated.
Warnings: Fluff and NSFW (+song recommendation), this author doesn't write smut so please go gentle (that's what she said)
Taglist: @wwenhlimagines @sheinthatfandom @triscillal @hooks-martin @hookerforhook
I, again, don’t write smut so please take it easy on me
Somewhat SFW:
Will definitely wake you up to some sort of surprise
Breakfast in bed, him cooking breakfast in the kitchen
He definitely has an apron that says “Kiss the Cook/Daddy”
Ricky has bouquets (not just one) of roses for you
Has to flex on Instagram so he posts pictures of your evolution or ya’lls relationship
Def will caption it “Happy Birthday to my beautiful girlfriend aka Stroke Mommy! I love you! Love, Stroke Daddy. P.S: There’s a lot in store for tonight ;)”
Now…I have this canon that Ricky will spoil you endlessly so….
After you eat, he will give you more presents and jewelry galore
ANDDDD THE MAN WILL GIVE YOU A FAT BRICK TO SPEND
I mean we talking 2K-5K of bands
“Baby-“
“You will use that entire stack today, and if you don’t there will be consequences”
“Consequences or rewards? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”
“-_-Get out of my sight”
He’ll tell you to go out with the girls, get your nails and hair done, shop at the Chanel and buy two of everything
Ricky is also a man of fashion so he picked out your outfits already
You’re dressed to the 9 for the entire day
And when the evening comes, after you did all your shopping
He’ll make you model everything (everything) you bought
Making those bedroom eyes at you with lust taking over his eyes
After about an hour of trying everything on and giving feedback, Ricky made you put on the final outfit that he had planned for you
He then proceeded to take you out to dinner with your friends and family
You walked into that restaurant with another gigantic bouquet of roses in one arm and your man on the other with a bright ass smile
The dinner went very smoothly and nothing short of a great time
But the night wasn’t over yet, not when Ricky Starks is your boyfriend
NSFW (TURN BACK NOW):
As stated above, the man spoils you already
BUT IN BED
OH JESUS DOES HE SPOIL YOU
AND IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY??? BIATCH YOURE LUCKY
Tonight you aint do no work; so just sit back miss pillow princess
Obvi, Ricky’s a giver
Loves to receive, but he really receives pleasure when he makes you happy
I am also confident that while eating you *out* he’s spelling happy birthday with his tongue
Also loves to hear you scream, never be silent with this man (it boosts his ego)
“Tsk Tsk. Lemme hear you. That’s it baby.”
I cannot see him staying silent in bed, the man will moan and borderline whimper in your ear
Will also say the dirtiest shit in your ear
“Such a good birthday girl. Such a good girl”
Very handsy, touchy-feely, ya’lls hands are never leaving each other
Loves to leave grip marks, bite marks, scratches, and handprints on your body
Im talking about the shoulders, back, hips (that definitely still ache from him pounding you), ass, etc.
Will make you realize why they call him Stroke Daddy (trademarked)
Hard thrusts that would knock the headboard loose
You would try to give some type of repayment but he would cut you off and just continue to thrust harder
If you’re asking me to sum it up, just listen to Nasty (Extended) by Russ
“Good god, look at you. You’re doing such a good job, taking me like this.”
Man isn’t gonna stop until you are literally begging him to stop or until you squirted (I have a great hypothesis about this)
“That’s my birthday girl. Can you give me another one?” 
AFTERCARE IS A MUST
Constantly gives you kisses on your face
Runs you a bath with the works (bubbles, candles lit, etc.)
Does not allow you to do any work and carries you to the tub
Brings you your favorite beverage while you’re sitting in the tub and then he gets in it too
You guys take your time in the tub just telling each other how much ya’ll love each other and what a great it has been (really romantic)
Ricky gives you a kiss before telling you: “For my birthday, you’re gonna have to step it up to top me.”
“Oh I’m gonna top you alright.”
“Y/N!”

Ride the Cyclone Kids and The Lake
in which the kids go to a lake to hang out!
(loosely based on when i once went boating with my irl best friend)
For sake of the concept, Constance’s parents own a boat
Mischa BEGS her parents to let him drive it
He did his research!!
With WikiHow
“How To Drive A Boat (with pictures)”
Ocean’s gotta wear a life jacket, but she’s not happy about it :/
The lake’s deep, though, and there are waves from other boats, so she’s gotta stay above the surface
But Ricky also has to wear a life jacket, so it’s okay!! She’s not the only one who looks silly!
You know how sometimes a life jacket will ride all the way up to your neck and it literally feels like you’re being strangled by it?? That’s these two in a life jacket
Penny is like “you think i can touch the bottom of this lake” and then tries to swim to the bottom of this 125 foot deep lake while Constance is screaming “PENNY! PENNY NO! PENNY!!!!!!”
Meanwhile Mischa is like “i bet she can do it”
Noel, like anywhere they go with water, prefers to stay dry
He doesn’t really like the idea of floating in water he can’t easily reach the bottom of, especially when it’s over twenty feet deep
He’s kinda worried about something grabbing his foot and pulling him under
But he REFUSES to wear a life jacket because he doesn’t want to look stupid (like Ocean) (it only looks stupid on Ocean, Ricky is fine)
So he sits on the boat and watches the others most of the time
Mischa and Penny try to swim back to the shore
When they’re several miles out in the middle of the lake
Constance looks away for two (2) seconds, looks back, and these two dummies are breaststroking their way to land
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?!”
Mischa and Penny also personally put together a nice playlist for the trip
Well
“Nice” might not be the best word for it
It’s certainly…something
It starts off normal. It’s got songs they all like, and the other kids are starting to wonder if maybe they should let Mischa and Penny choose the music more often
And then it all escalates
They’ve got the STRANGEST assortment of songs
But not even all of them are songs!!
There was two minutes and fifteen seconds of fucking BLENDER NOISES
“What is playing right now??” “That’s the scene in Ready or Not where Grace gets her hand impaled by a nail”
They get to this song, and the others are all staring at Mischa and Penny, while Mischa and Penny are trying their best to hold in their laughter
Penny: Constance, you like Vocaloid, right?
Constance: Yeah, I love Vocaloid! :)
Penny:
youtube
Constance: I don’t like Vocaloid anymore
Imagine driving by another boat and bass boosted The Lion Sleeps Tonight is blasting from the speakers
The real bread and butter of this trip, however, is when they pull a tube behind the boat
Poor Ocean goes FLYING
She gets jostled around a lot, and then finally loses her grip because she’s about as strong as a stack of cards, and is just LAUNCHED
Homegirl PINWHEELS through the air
Mischa tests his luck a little too much on his turn
He keeps putting his hands up in the air and won’t hang on
He gets what’s coming to him when the tube hits a pretty large wave, and he wipes out HARD
Penny!!
This gal has an Iron Grip
They could not flip her at first
But then they convinced her to ride on her stomach
Finally!
Victory is theirs!
She hits a large wave and literally BARREL ROLLS off
“MY BOOB CAME OUT” -Penny, frantically fixing her bathing suit
Meanwhile everyone else is crying because this is so much fun
Noel’s turn!
He makes the grave mistake of letting go to move his hair out of his eyes, and when he does, he kinda bounces, smacks into the tube, and then ricochets off
Ocean is on the floor because she’s been WAITING for this, and it’s so much better than she had expected
Ricky’s hanging on for dear life when it’s his turn
The tube ends up flipping under him, and when it gets pulled away, nobody can see him, and they were all freaking out
And then he appears from the water like :}
Finally, Constance!!
The SECOND she sees a molecule of slack in the line, she knows she’s going down
Sis literally BACKFLIPS off the tube
She was ROLLING across the water
She could hear Mischa howling with laughter from where she was floating
At the pier, Penny jumped into the water and caught a turtle with her bare hands

look, I know you said ask about Six of Crows but…like…do you have any sickfic-related headcanons for Ride the Cyclone, cause I’ll take all of ‘em :)
OH MY GOD YESYESYES
sickfics are my most pleasured guilty pleasure i desperately need more about them in this fandom🙏🙏 (also nischa is my main rtc ship so there may be hints towards that oops)
-ocean is so annoying to take care of when she's sick she blatantly refuses to rest until she literally cannot keep going
-often times this results in constance trailing after her all but begging ocean to accept help
-noel is also kind of annoying but in a self pitying woe is me way also there's like a 50% chance that he will also refuse help simply because of his pride
-he will go from "fuck off i'm fine." to "i'm dying." in the span of two minutes
-he also cannot stand being alone when he's sick because he needs the distraction so he always has his mother or one of the members of the choir around
-he's also extremely emotional in contrast to being usually pretty apathetic, he will yell at you or just like. start crying. without warning so nobody actually wants to be around him
-mischa is the opposite
-he isolates himself from everyone so as to not be seen in a moment of weakness (talia is the one person he will talk to unless noel is around)
-he just falls off the grid all his social media followers are like ?? because he usually posts stuff every few hours
-ricky just stays home and goes online all day when he's sick
-he won't blatantly tell anyone he's sick but if they ask he won't deny it
-unless it's funny and ironic
-"you weren't at school yesterday, were you sick or something?" "no i was on the moon." "okay then..?"
-penny DISAPPEARS without a word
-she doesn't answer any texts, she just vanishes
-when she gets back she acts like nothing ever happened
-"dude where were you??" "what are you talking about? :)"
-constance is the only one who can be normal
-she stays home but she tells the choir she's not going to be at school so they (ocean) don't worry
-she actually takes care of herself like she should so she's usually back a day later

just had a rina epiphany of sorts. @blues-valentine was talking about the canoe scene and how the way ej phrases it makes it sound like the fireworks are their destination. “maybe we can sit here and paddle away until the fireworks go off.” there are a few layers to this scene. the first I want to talk about is the fact that ej involves the canoe in his metaphor, suggesting that they go towards the fireworks. these fireworks, both metaphorical and literal in this situation, are not where pw are in that moment. also, given that the canoe is in the middle of the barn, they can’t actually move anywhere. they’re stagnant, just like their relationship. they aren’t going backwards, but they aren’t going forward either. of course, the core symbolism of this scene is the fact that we watched fireworks go off for ashlyn, but not for them. the spark that flamed their relationship is gone, if it was ever there in the first place. finally, this would not be my thoughts on this couple if I didn’t bring up rina. in 3.03, as ricky and gina are walking back to their tents for the night, ricky says something fascinating. “it’s the journey, not the destination.” I think these two scenes present an interesting contrast in how ej and gina have interacted and how ricky and gina interacted. ej is fighting for the musical and the documentary to go well so that he can stay in salt lake and stay with gina. however in fighting for their future, fighting to reach the fireworks, he is neglecting her in the present, a problem even more clear in the fact that gina has all but begged for ej to spend time with her at shallow lake like he promised, not only when they arrived to camp and he wasn’t director, but also in 3.02, when he tells gina he is not worried about their relationship as it relates to his directing responsibilities. ricky, in contrast, has literally shown up (ej’s words, not just mine) and stayed around and been supportive of gina the entire summer. she claimed that this was supposed to be a “summer of fun” just like ricky did in that ep, and he has all but ensured that for her; being a good leading man, making her laugh, holding other cast members accountable for how their actions impact gina’s show, listening to her issues and offering support, being at her side for color war the entire time, and even helping her with a promposal to her boyfriend. ricky doesn’t have some ulterior motive, a “destination,” if you will, in mind with gina. he just wants to support her now in every way he can. the journey, important to both him and gina, is what he prioritizes. I’m not trying to come down hard at ej for being a bad boyfriend, because there’s nuance to that statement. he is doing good things, but at the end of the day, not what gina asked of him and what he promised her. he’s not being a good boyfriend for gina.

And Now A Story About Our Kitty and Savior!
By RnD Young-Howze
If you haven’t noticed we at the Young-Howze Theatre Journal love the Holidays, especially Christmas. We start watching Christmas movies on November 1, plus we celebrate Christmas Sommore on the 18th of January and Christmas in July on the 25th. We have seen every adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” known to man (and some known only to dolphins) and we could go on a rant about all of them. However, that is not the real reason for the season. No, our literal savior was born of lowly origin on Christmas 2017 and entered our hearts in the year of 2018. So allow us this moment to proselytize.
Tumblr media
What did you think we were talking about Jesus?!? Hell no! The Black socialist rabbi known as Yeshua of Nazareth was most likely born in April. If you follow us at all you have seen photos of our cat, daughter, and demon familiar Baby Grey. She came into our lives when we bought this trailer. We spent the first three months of 2018 homeless. On December 14, 2017 Dana’s stepdad sent them to the hospital and illegally evicted us. We had to stay in motels while we desperately searched for a solution. It wasn’t until March that we found the trailer that we called home.
Dana was depressed as hell. They had it the worst. Ricky was still going off to sub everyday and Dana was left at home the whole day wondering whether or not their stepdad was going to start trouble again. Their life changed the minute that they found out that we sat on a massive feral cat colony. It started with just leaving some old lunch meat outside and watching dozens of cats descend upon it. Then we bought cat food and started to name the ten or so regulars that we had. Mainly we would name them after a defining characteristic: the mama cat was Mama, the one with gray stripes was Tiger, the littlest of the gray cats was Baby Grey and so on.
That’s when we started noticing something about that “littlest of the gray cats” soon enough she started being the only one around. Cats twice her size would keep their distance from her. Then we noticed that she started living under our porch. Then we noticed that she was fiercely territorial. We noticed that she would hate any other cat that came up to get pets from us. Very soon we weren’t feeding a colony of feral cats. One very tough cat had adopted us.
Tumblr media
You wouldn’t imagine the effect this had on Dana. Dana had to leave everything when they left their house. That was the house their birth father had bought for their Mother and them. That was the house they always knew they had even when they traveled from base to base as an army kid. Mainly they had to leave the dog they had raised from a puppy because, technically, she belonged to her parents. They had never spent a day of their life without a pet in the house. The three months of homelessness and then an empty house hurt to the bone. So knowing that everyday there was a furry little creature outside that depended on them for food was a lifesaver.
Eventually we got Baby Grey inside. Eventually we even got to get her to stay inside. She adopted (more like kidnapped) six runt kittens from other litters and gave them to us to raise. She’s not really the motherly type. (That’s another story entirely.) When we finally got her into the vet we thought she had to be a kitten or at least a few months old. Nope she was just a tiny, underfed eight month old. We did the math and figured that she had to have been born within a few days of Christmas. We decided to fudge the dates and say that she was our Christmas miracle (hey it worked for the Christians).
Tumblr media
We fixed the underfed problem right away. In return she fixed our hearts and our spirits. Sometimes a pet is that thing you need to set your priorities straight. We needed a house so that the cats could be warm. We needed a job so the cats could be fed. Yes that meant that we would be warm and fed but that's besides the point. No matter how depressed or hopeless we get, that little purring ball of fur begging for food every day reminds us that we have to get our priorities straight. And that’s why we call Baby Grey Young-Howze our Christmas Savior.
If you love us and what we do we have an end of the Year fundraiser going on. Giving even a little bit helps.

I’ve been thinking about why Gina is far and away the most compelling character in the show for me. I think Sofia Wylie is doing brilliant things with her character. I can’t find a screencap of this moment, but in “Spring Break,” as Gina first descends the escalator, there’s this look on her face. It’s a subdued expression that she’s probably worn a thousand times in her lifetime. She looks disappointed, yet resigned, that she’s on her own again. She’s always on her own. And life is chill, and she’s chill, and it was just a thing that she did for no reason when she shared the flight cancellation update on her story. 
She is so used to focussing on “making her mark”  because people let her down. People leave, and she leaves, and she’s never close enough with anyone to be invited to a sleepover or romantically pursue someone. Which is why she pushes people away and hones her craft instead. Because, what’s the point when she’s just gonna move again? 
And this season, she’s wrestling with letting people in. It didn’t work with Ricky. She put herself out there in such a vulnerable way, and she got crushed. And I’m sure part of that is she knows she can’t compete with the history between Ricky and Nini. She has never, ever been afforded the luxury of history. And has resigned herself to the idea that no one will ever consider her someone they need in their life. 
She’s said she’s been waiting for a sign twice this season. And both times, the people close to her deliver. Ashlyn literally serenades her, begging her to stay with her. Ashlyn loves her so much and calls her her sister. For someone who has an estranged brother and is currently away from her mom, this is a big thing. And I’m sure the pressure she gets from her mother to be the best must feel complicated for her. I kinda think her mom harps on that because it’s the only survival mechanism she think of for Gina to take moving from place to place in stride. So Ashlyn’s unconditional love for her is overwhelming but not unwelcome. She went against her defenses with Ricky and got really hurt. But her love for Ashlyn convinces her to stay. 
And then E.J. completely shatters her expectations of making do by herself. Not only does he show up to take her home, but he casually offers to bring her back the next day, like he would for any person he cares about. Her expression there is one of pure disbelief. She’s not used to any of this and is completely thrown but also incredibly delighted and touched. She never thought of herself as someone who would get picked up by someone from the airport. She never thought that was an option for her life. And then in a simple selfless act, he hands her a granola bar, showing her he was thinking of her, not realizing that’s the one thing she’s been missing all day. While her feelings for E.J. terrify her to the point of denial, she can’t help but hope a little and continue to let him in. 
I’m so here for her story and her acceptance of the people in her life who love her. Gina’s ambition is still there, but she’s not hiding behind it as her defining trait anymore. And I really, really love this character growth.

Apologies
A/N: Credits to @redlyncentral​ and @cadetcama​ for providing my co writer the necessary corrections and creative juices for the story.
After opening night, Ricky confronts Gina about her treatment towards him, ever since Carlos's Quinceañero. Gina opens up to Ricky.
FFN I Ao3
Tumblr media
--------
Days have passed since opening night. East High's Drama department has just finished dismantling their props and sets from their final showing of their production of 'Beauty and the Beast'. Everyone was heading to the school's pool to celebrate a successful three-night showing of their musical.
Gina was in front of her locker, storing up some things that she won't need at Ashlyn's, while EJ was in the nearby bathroom.
"Gina, c-can we talk?"
EJ made his presence known by leaning on the side of the lockers but he did not approach his girlfriend or the boy who approached her.
"Okay." Gina stoically answered.
"Like… Talk-talk?" Ricky tried again.
"Meet me at the bomb shelter in two minutes," Gina provided. "We can talk there privately, everyone's already at the pool"
Ricky simply nodded and immediately headed towards the rehearsal room.
"Are you sure about this?" EJ approached his girlfriend as soon as Ricky left.
"I have to tell him why at some point, he needs to know what he had done to hurt me."
"Do you want me there with you?"
"No, I can handle this." Gina shook her head. "Just wait for me here, or you can go on ahead to the pool and wait for me there."
"I'll wait here for you." EJ nodded.
---------
"You want to talk?"
"Right," Ricky nodded as he stood up to face Gina. "Can I ask what changed between you and me?"
"Changed? Nothing changed between us, Ricky." Gina shook her head. "Why would you think that?"
"I don't know," Ricky sighed. "Before this, you've been giving me one-word responses if you don't outright ignore me," He answered.
"Are you really that oblivious?" Gina questioned.
"E-excuse me?"
"You are excused." Came Gina's automatic reply.
"P-please, Gina, can you please tell me if I did something wrong?" Ricky begged. "I'm tired of trying to puzzle out everyone's thoughts and feelings." He sighed. "Please, do me a favor and lay it out straight to me?"
"That's fair," Gina agreed. "Okay, Ricky, what you did during Carlos's Quinceañero was not cool. You hurt me a lot when you asked me about Nini, Ricky."
"H-how did I hurt you?" Ricky gulped as he tried to rack his brain during that time, but he came up with nothing.
"Tell me, Ricky, were you aware of the gravity of my words during our HSM opening night?" Gina asked.
"That was a lo-"
"Yes, it was a love confession, I confessed my feelings to you, Ricky." Gina cut the boy off. "It was bad enough that half of your attention was on Nini but I accepted that you both were back and happy together, I didn't want to be in between the two of you."
"What did I do that hurt you so much then?"
"The fact that you casually threw in the 'if we were dating' line." Gina bluntly replied. "I can't believe that you, of all people, would say that to me, when you know what I did months ago."
"Tha-"
"I gave you a chance to leave the conversation, Ricky, I gave you plenty of chances, but you still pushed it."
"But I thought, you were okay with me confiding in you? You granted Big Red's question about Nini."
"Tell me, Ricky, does Big Red know of what happened during that night?"
"Of course, not!" Ricky was quick to reply. "The only one who knows is Nini, even then I don't think she quite knew of what you really meant."
"And for that, I thank you," Gina expressed her gratitude. "But that doesn't change the fact that I was hurt by your actions." She shook her head. "The reason I gave the okay to Big Red asking me about what you want to text to Nini during the snowstorm was because of the simple fact that Big Red was there."
"Huh?"
"Big Red did not know about that night, frankly only EJ and Ashlyn knew what happened." Gina shared. "I didn't want him to suspect something going on between us, to avoid any uncomfortable questions, I gave the okay to continue."
"I-"
"You thought, because of that, you can confide in me with everything that has to do with Nini." Gina summarized Ricky's thoughts.
With Gina laying everything down, Ricky finally realized that he made a huge mistake. He knew he was selfish when he went behind Nini's back to get her into the show, he didn't think that his selfishness hurt one more person, in the form of Gina.
"I-"
"I'm sorry, Ricky, I don't think I can forgive you anytime soon," Gina admitted. "What you did to me hurt a lot, maybe in time I can, but not now."
"I…I see." Ricky looked at his shoes. "For what it's worth, Gina, I'm sorry for hurting you in that way."
Gina simply nodded.
Ricky turned around and left the rehearsal room.
As soon as Ricky was out of the room, EJ went inside and immediately engulfed his girlfriend in a hug.
"Let it out, just let it out."
Gina buried herself more on EJ's chest as she cried. Ricky was really the first friend she made during her time in East High and for it to end this way, it hurt so much.
"You know, he tried asking for my permission or blessing to talk to you," EJ shared. "His exact words were, 'Would you be mad if I talked to Gina?'"
"W-why would he do that?" Gina sniffled as she looked at her boyfriend. "What did you tell him?"
"I told him no, I won't." EJ answered honestly. "The last time I got angry with someone for texting my girlfriend, it ended with me broken-hearted."
"Aww EJ, you do learn." Gina teased. "The question still remains, why would he do that?"
"I have some inkling of an answer but I don't really know for sure." EJ admitted.
"Why do you think?" Gina urged as she wiped her tears from her face.
"I think it has something to do with Nini," EJ admitted. "It's no secret that Ricky tried to break Nini and I up, in hindsight, he felt he was justified because all he knew was that they were just on a break and didn't break up."
"But she thought it was a break-up," Gina interrupted. "Those two are very bad at communicating their feelings." She sighed.
"You can say that again." EJ agreed.
"So?"
"So, when Ricky sent Nini a voice message, I confronted and told him to stay away, I think that's where he got the idea from." EJ admitted.
"If you hadn't told Ricky to stay away from Nini, you wouldn't have been found out." Gina informed.
"True, and I probably won't have my confidence crushed by Nini's incredible ghosting abilities." EJ chuckled.
"Wait, she ghosted you?" Gina exclaimed.
"After ignoring my texts, calls, and voice messages, even got Kourtney to lie for her, she blocked my number and my social media accounts," EJ informed. "It felt like she was literally breaking my ribcage and went for my heart."
"I don't know if I should call that petty or something else?" Gina admitted.
"Definitely something else." EJ chuckled.
"Eej, why does it hurt?" Gina sighed as she slumped on a nearby chair.
"Because he was the first friend you made here in East," EJ answered. "You didn't think that he could hurt you much more than just seeing him with Nini."
"But I'm used to moving around, I should be used to this," Gina tried to counter. "I should be used to this." She repeated.
"No one can really get used to this, Gi." EJ shook his head as he knelt on one knee in front of her. "You felt like Ricky betrayed you, that's why it hurt so much."
"How do you know so much?"
EJ fished a book from his bag and gave it to his girlfriend.
"I've been reading that book as my pastime." EJ admitted.
"Do you even sleep?" Gina exclaimed. "You have so many clubs, so many sports, and you're the senior class treasurer to top it off!"
"I'm just good with managing my time," EJ shrugged. "Ashlyn and I are."
"It does help that the both of you are intelligent."
"I won't go that far, I can't find words to rhyme with sorry." EJ shook his head.
"Vary? Starry?" Gina listed.
"Clearly, you know more than I do." EJ chuckled.
Gina chuckled alongside her boyfriend.
"So are we good to join everyone by the pool?" EJ asked.
"How you managed the principal to let us use the pool to celebrate will forever remain a mystery to me, I've overheard other clubs groaning that we can use the pool."
"It probably has to do with the fact that I did not cheat at Waterpolo during tournaments," EJ answered. "No one probably knows, but after those self-exposing videos I posted on Instagram, I was banned to play the sport for months as the tournament officials investigated my claims."
"Why would you do that?" Gina was full-on grinning.
"It felt freeing at the time," EJ shrugged. "In any case, what I meant in those videos was whenever the school had us play against our teammates."
"You, EJ Caswell, are one bizarre person."
"That, and my father is on the school board." EJ chuckled. "I still got an earful from both my parents and Ashlyn's parents." He shivered.
"Thank you for Everything, EeJ." Gina smiled as she stood up.
"It's what boyfriends do." EJ grinned. "Be there for their girlfriends."
"Aww, that's awfully sweet of you."
“Hey, it’s what boyfriends are for, being awfully sweet.”

Third year songs <3
this is most of the thrid years- not all 
from my spotify liked playlist <3
comes with a side of slight character analysis 
These are my interpretations of HQ characters and these songs!!
Time-skip spoilers!! (very slight) 
---
Karasuno 
Daichi Sawamura
 Waiting for Superman- Daughtry
She's waiting for Superman
To lift her up
And take her anywhere
Show her love
And climbing through the air
Save her now
Before it's too late tonight
She's waiting for Superman
Daichi seems like he makes a  lot of promises, that he just can’t physically keep. He just has so many things going on that he just can’t pay attention to all of them at once. This leads to far too many forgotten dates and even more broken promises. You know its not his fault and he does too, he just can’t leave anyone hanging. 
Koushi Sugawara
 Island- Florida Georgia Line
We might as well be on an island
Like we're the last two on this Earth
Like we're frozen here in time
Like it's empty here tonight
I feel like suga likes to put himself back into happier times. And that he tries to hold into happy moments as they are happening. He says he is a man of the moment, but when he feels down, he tries to put himself back into the more joyous times. 
Asahi Azumane 
You say- Lauren Daigle 
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
Asahi is clearly very attached to how people perceive him. So when people shower him with compliments, he attaches onto them. He likes what makes him comfortable and he wants to stay comfortable for as long as he can. Words are important to him, so when he hears something bad it can ruin him for a while. He really does believe what the people he loves say to him. 
Kiyoko Shimizu
 Mothers daughter- Miley Cyrus 
Oh my gosh, she got the power
Oh, look at her, she got the power
So, so, so
Must be something in the water
Or that I'm my mother's daughter
The power this woman carries. She’s built her confidence and she’s not letting anyone ruin it for her. I truly believe that her friends all become more confident because she wants everyone around her to feel confident too. Since she doesn't speak all that much she lets her body language do most of the expression. 
--
Nekoma 
Tetsurō Kuroo
 High school sweethearts- Melanie Martinez 
Could you hold me through the night?
Put your lips all over my mine
Salty face when I start cryin'
Could you be my first time?
Eat me up like apple pie
Kuroo definitely takes trust very seriously. I feel he’s also really scared of someone breaking this trust, so he does form it with a lot of people. That saying if he does, he wants it to last forever.
 (...Step twoThis is a waste if you can't walk me down the finish line…) 
He truly believes in the people he surrounds himself with. 
Nobuyuki Kai 
Kill the Lights- Set it Off
Now I am cutting ties clean off
And I can breathe at last
So we all stand enthralled by this bland curtain call
And the truth we pursue as we all, we all beg you to
 Kai seems like he wasn't really that invested in volleyball, so having all these passionate people around him was a shock.  But he really got into third year, and he wants people to feel that passion too. In the back of his mind he feels bad for not feeling it like the rest of the team, but since looking in the past means nothing now, he tries to move on. 
Morisuke Yaku
 Mama- Mcr
And when we go don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh so famous;
We'll never let you go
And when you go don't return to me my love
I mean, he is part of the mom squad. But it's ever so slightly more deep. I’m gonna say it's momma-bird syndrome. He doesn't want people to move on without him, seeing people achieve their dreams is great but he doesn't want you to do it if that means loving him. 
--
Seijoh
Tōru Oikawa
Prom Queen- Beach Bunny
Maybe I should try harder
You should lower your expectations
I'm no quick-curl barbie
I was never cut out for prom queen
I feel like oikawa is constantly feeling like he has to catch up to everyone around him. At some point in Argentina he came to the conclusion that he was good enough and didn't need to rise to anyone's standards of him, but when he got picked for the national team everything came back. He still has all of those feelings from high-school. Never making it to nationals, feeling like he failed his team. 
Issei Matsukawa
Bubblegum Bitch- Marina and the diamonds 
Got a figure like a pin-up, got a figure like a doll
Don't care if you think I'm dumb, I don't care at all
Candy bear, sweetie pie, wanna be adored
I'm the girl you'd die for
I feel like to earn Mattsun’s trust, he would put you through some ridiculous trial of sorts. I also feel that he is very comfortable with who he is, and he takes no shit about it. But that comes with the fact that he rarely takes fault in things, and that sparks arguments. He’ll use your love for him against you, he’ll be as cold as he can muster, until YOU take fault. 
Takahiro Hanamaki
 OUT THE ROOF- Chase Atlantic 
Yeah, we stay lit
We fuck bitches, pop on pillies, that is it, yeah
Holy moly, holy shit, yeah
Me and all my people are heaven sent, yeah, yup
9this is a strait vibe for Makki) 
I feel like Makki drowns his problems out with meaningless activities. Like smoking or one-night stands. He’d rather drown out his problems then have them in his  face. Or when he’s forced to face them, he’ll deflect until he has nothing else to deflect. Because when you’re high there nothing to worry about! Why stress about meaningless problems when he can be having fun!  
Hajime Iwaizumi
 Endlessly- The Cab
Yeah, your friends may think I'm crazy
Cause they can only see
I'm not perfect, but I swear, I'm perfect for you.
And there's no guarantee
That this will be easy.
It's not a miracle you need, believe me.
Yeah, I'm no angel, I'm just me
But I will love you endlessly.
Iwa knows that he can't be there for you all the time. Physically he tries his best, mentally he can help when he can. But you both know that you're perfect for one another. He just can't help but listen to the people around him sometimes. You deserve the world, but he doesn't know if he can give that to you. 
--
Fukurodani
Kōtarō Bokuto 
Prima Donna- Andrew Lloyd Webber 
Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
Think of how they all adore you
We’ve all seen how Bokuto gets what he’s praised for literally anything remotely impressive. So that makes him a cannon prima donna! but that also means the lows and really bad mood swings. This song just fits him so well it’s scary.  
-- 
Shiratorizawa
Wakatoshi Ushijim
 More- Usher 
If you really want more, scream it out louder,
If you on the floor, bring out the fire,
And light it up, take it up higher,
Gotta push it to the limit, give it more.
This seems kinda obvious, but Ushijima never gives up. Ever since he was a kid, he set a goal for himself and he went beyond what he even set out for. And that comes with a lot of work and training for every new level of volleyball. He’s just going to get better and better until he retires, or is forced to retire. 
Eita Semi
 strawberries and cigarettes- troye sivan
Long nights, daydreams
Sugar and smoke rings, I've been a fool
But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
Headlights, on me
Racing to 60, I've been a fool
But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like
Blue eyes, black jeans
Lighters and candy, I've been a fool
But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
I feel like semi always thinks about how Shirabu replaced him on the starting line-up. But he’s mostly gotten over it, but certain things bring him back into that stage of his life. Then the cycle starts all over again. He constantly looks back on the game against Karasuno and thinks about wat would have happened if he was the setter instead. 
Reon Ōhira
 Remember when- Chris Wallace 
So can we push push push rewind,
Go go back in time,
When we were kids sneaking bottles of wine,
Take take take me back, I wanna go back,
Back to what we had! Do you remember when we started this mess,
My heart was beating out of my chest!,
Remember when we stole your dad's car,
Reon gives me the vibe that his days at Shiratorizawa were some of the best of his life. How can they not be? He made the greatest friends of his life there. And I also feel like he looks back on them a bit more than he wants to admit.
Satori Tendō
 This Side of Paradise- Coyote theory
Are you lonely?
Passion is crashing as we speak
You seem so lonely
You're the ground my feet won't reach
So if you're lonely
Darling you're glowing
If you're lonely come be lonely with me.
I get the vibe that Tendou attaches himself to whatever makes him feel wanted/safe. (ex. volleyball) he knows it isn't healthy, but he can't help it. This does lead to him completely distancing himself from you over and over because he thinks you’ll leave him. 
Hayato Yamagata- House of gold- Twenty one Pilots 
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease (Ooh)
And since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone
Even though we don't see a lot of him, I get the feeling he treats people really well. Like he cherishes people a lot more than some of them deserve. As you can see this leads to some unfair relationships and toxic people. He just wants to hold on until a good person comes along. 
--
Nohebi 
Suguru Daishō
Mr Loverman - Ricky Montgomery 
I'm Mr. Loverman
And I miss my lover, man
I'm Mr. Loverman
Oh, and I miss my lover
I feel like this was way too obvious, but it really is his song. It’s literally cannon, every lyric in this song is what happened with Mika. but in the end he got her back and made his promise  to be a better loverman <3. 
Kazuma Numai
 Nonstop- Drake 
Future took the business and ran it for me
I let Ollie take the owl, told him brand it for me
I get two million a pop and that's standard for me
Like I went blind dog, you gotta hand it to me
He looks and acts like a guy who listens to drake. He just seems like a guy who won't stop or give up even when things take a turn. He’ll just keep fighting until nothing’s left. 
Kōji Hiroo
 At the Wheel- Colorblind 
I need something to wake me up
It's never strong enough
I'm just getting colder and starting over
Going numb is just the way I run from
All my problems when I can't solve them
Need to break away
Escape the way I'm feeling
Hate to be fake, but I'm just dealing
This one doesn't really have a true reason, i really just felt like this was his song.  Sorry just the vibe. 
;)
Inarizaki
Shinsuke Kita
 Oh Ms Believer- twenty one pilots 
Oh, Ms. Believer, my pretty sleeper
Your twisted mind is like snow on the road
Your shaking shoulders prove that it's colder
Inside your head than the winter of dead
I will tell you I love you
But the muffs on your ears will cater your fears
My nose and feet are running as we start
To travel through snow
Together we go
I feel like kita is unintentionally cold towards the world, like he wants to open up but can't figure out how. But in turn if you can get him to feel “warmer” (get closer to him) he’ll share everything with you, almost oversharing. Just because he can't help it, he’s kept it all in for so long. Sometimes he just needs someone to hold him and make HIM feel better, because he does it for everyone. If you can manage all of this i feel like he’ll keep you with him forever. 
Ren Ōmimi
 Armor- Landon Austin
I'm not bullet proof when it comes to you
Don't know what to say when you made me the enemy
After the war is won
There's always the next one
I'm not bullet proof when it comes to you
I feel like not a lot of people approach ren because of how intimidating he looks. This has made him weary when people are really enthused to first meet him, because he thinks it’s a joke. After getting over that hurdle i feel like he just isn't an open person so it’ll take a long time to even get to a point where he trusts you. Hence the other wars after the first. 
Aran Ojiro-
 Never really over- Katy perry
Two years, and just like that, my head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Oh, we were such a mess, but wasn't it the best?
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
After all of these years, I really don't think Aran has truly gotten over losing at nationals in third year. And now on the national team he sees Hinata and Kageyama all the time and it takes him back. It makes him re-feel all the emotions he felt after the game. It hurt him to know that he gave his everything and still lost.  Like when he’s in bed he puts himself back into that self loathing phase of his life. 
Michinari Akagi
Try Hard - 5sos
It's obvious she’s so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard 'cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
'Cause I'm not being me
And it’s getting me down that
She makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Akagi gives off boy best friend vibes.  But like to EVERYONE, so the person he liked just thought he was making fun of them and he didn't like them back. And i feel like that kinda traumatized him a bit, so when he got a new s/o he tried really really hard to make them special, but the same thing happened. 
i may do some with the second and first years, idk this took so long :)

ahhh hello anon!! this is my first ever request, i’m so excited!! this took rlly long for some reason, i’m so scared to disappoint yall with this 😭😭 well here you go, a part 2 to i love you :)
Tumblr media
You were doing fairly great after the incident. Life was peaceful, your grades were skyrocketing, you quit the volleyball team and chose to pursue fashion design- life was good. You graduated Inarizaki as one of the best students in your class and first place in the 49th Japan Fashion Design Contest. You could almost remember the feeling of graduating, on stage, receiving your diploma, being cheered on by your friends and family, with a particular blonde boy eye-ing you with adoring eyes.
The after-party was hectic, never-ending drinks, maybe a make-out or two, but overall, you were ecstatic. An interesting thing that happened during the party, was your interaction with Miya Atsumu. He was still as lively as ever, a bright smile on his face wherever he was. Once he saw you that night, a drink in hand and your arm over your friend’s shoulder, a small smile popped on his face. He went still for a second as all the memories rushed back and you spun around. You were sweaty and drunk, but in his eyes, you looked heavenly. You remember glancing at his eyes for a second, he still had that same honey-toned eyes, a slight lovey-dovey look in his eyes. That was the only interaction you had for the night, and what you thought was for the rest of your life. Or so you’d thought.
Life was pretty much hectic after graduation. College, then joining one of the most successful fashion designers, to actually having your own brand. Who knew design could be so stressful? You slump down in your office only to be greeted by more piles of fabric and paperwork. Another load of presentations to investors and other businesses- yet your company seemed to be going nowhere. “Excuse me, your 4 o’clock meeting is here.” Your assistant suddenly says, making you flinch. “Geez- at least knock first.” You say, standing up and fixing your outfit. This client was particularly important to your brand- they had asked for a possibility of sponsorship. It would be groundbreaking to collab with them- a grade-a sports team would be amazing to collab with. You just weren’t expecting for him to be here. 
“Good afternoon, Mister… Shugo?” You say, looking down at a clipboard with all your materials. Shugo was a familiar name- you’ve probably heard it somewhere on the radio. “Y/N?- I-it’s you.” The man says, standing up. You freeze. You knew that voice- it’s gotten much deeper though. His tone is laced with curiosity- it almost felt like a dream. You look up to be met by him. His honey blonde hair was slicked to the side better, a hint of softness in his brown eyes. “Atsumu?” You mutter unknowingly. A sense of nostalgia hit you as your eyes scanned him. He looks older- and he’s surely gotten buffer. It felt like a dream, really. To see your high school crush almost more than 5 years apart. Then it came back. The sequence of events that happened leading up to the fight. It still hurt, of course, but not as much. I suppose you’ve gotten over it. You snap back into reality when Atsumu coughs awkwardly. “I’m supposed to meet- Shugo. Shugo Meian. Wh- what are you doing here?” You mutter out. “Shugo sent me. I didn’t know- this was your company.” Atsumu says, tucking his hands in his pocket with a small smile. He was still as smug as ever. You nod hesitantly- you had to give him the benefit of the doubt though. “Take a seat, Mr. Miya. We should start talking about the offer.” You say, pointing to the sofa behind him. He nods, giving you a small smile. Gosh- his smile was just as captivating as it did in high school. You feel yourself getting uncomfortable from your own thoughts- after all, you were over him. Right?
“Thank you so much for this opportunity, Mister Miya.” You say, bowing. After around an hour of deliberating and talking, you ended up with a beneficial deal for both of you. Of course, despite your troubles, you stayed professional. It was slightly amusing how Atsumu’s eyes would linger on you- admiring your figure more than a mere business partner would. “I look forward to working with you, Y/N,” Atsumu says, smiling widely. “Hey- uh- do you miss… Suna? and Osamu?” Atsumu asks, a bit hesitant. He’s not sure whether you’d like that because of the incident- but your eyes light up in excitement. “Well, a bit,” That was an understatement, of course. “I assume Osamu became a chef like he always wanted?” You ask curiously. You recall Osamu sharing his dreams of being a chef at lunch, a bright smile on his face every time he thought of it. Atsumu nods and you sigh in relief. “Well- you should catch up with us! Osamu’s finally coming back to town.” Atsumu says- which caught you off guard. Of course, you missed them a lot, but- it would bring back a lot of unpleasant memories. Eh, whatever. Seeing them for a bit wouldn’t hurt. “I mean- sure- but-” “Great! Here’s my number.” Atsumu says, scribbling down his number on a random card. “S-Shugo's number is on there as well- by the way,” Atsumu says, chuckling awkwardly. You nod, taking the card. Would you regret this? I dunno.
That day, you ended up in one of the fanciest nightclubs in town, Energize. It was pretty popular amongst rich people and Atsumu had volunteered to pay for everything anyway. You were seated in a booth, quietly waiting for your ex-teammates. Your heart was beating in anticipation- would they look different? You were sure Osamu still had his signature gray hair and Suna’s soft floofy brown hair. Your main concern was if they would show up or not. It was 15 minutes over what time they agreed, and you were getting hesitant. Was this a mistake? Your mind flashed back to the pile of paperwork and you sighed. You took out your phone, checking your texts.
Y/N This is Atsumu Miya, I presume? Atsumu - High School Y/N!! you texted !! Y/N ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ Are we still meeting up tonight? Atsumu - High School yeah yeah ofc !! suna and osamu already said yes :) Y/N I’m excited to meet them :DD Atsumu - High School they’re excited to meet you too btw u don’t have to be that formal with me lol Y/N Ah, no worries. I like being formal. Where are we meeting up? Atsumu - High School Energize, 8 pm tonight don’t be late :DD Y/N I’ll be there. 
You cringed at some particular parts of your conversations- had you always been this dry? You huff as you look around further, looking for a huddle of boys. There’s no one in sight that looks like them- and with that, you roll your eyes. It was an empty promise anyways- he never meant anything he said anyway. You stuff your phone into your pocket and head off before- you heard something. “Oi Tsumu, where the hell are they? We’ve been looking for them all over the place!” A voice says- Osamu. You would recognize that voice everywhere- were they really that blind? You turn around before being greeted by 3 males, one of them being Atsumu. “Y/N? Is that you?”
The air felt awkward yet soft as you fiddled with your nails. Atsumu had rented out a private booth for the 4 of you, blocking out all the noise and music. You leaned back on your chair, trying to observe your friends. Osamu had darker hair now- with fluffed-up ends. Suna, on the other hand, still has his signature fluffy brown hair, it just has more volume in it. “Osamu, you’re a chef, Atsumu tells me?” You finally speak up, the silence getting overbearing. Osamu’s eyes light up and he puts on a small smile. “Yeah. Osamu’s Onigiris- Doesn’t it sound nice?” Osamu asks excitedly and you nod. “I’m happy for you, Samu.” You slightly cringe- it was too soon to use that nickname. “What about you? What did you end up… becoming?” Suna asks, leaning on his elbow. “I’m a designer now. I own a company- it’s pretty small though.” You say, chuckling. “I knew it. You’ve always been good at drawing and design and… stuff.” Osamu says, a proud smile on his face. You felt a bit comforted by them, a sense of happiness. It felt nice- just to escape reality for a moment and be with your old friends. Atsumu, however, felt a little different. His heart was beating quicker by the second, and you could swear you saw him blush when he saw you. You could say that he was crushing on you.
The loud music was deafening as you made your way through the crowd, hanging on Suna’s shoulder. Everything felt vibrant as you looked around- people dancing, making out, and having fun. It’s been a long time ever since you loosened up and had fun so this was great. Osamu was laughing his head off about something and Atsumu was blabbering about how he was plucking girls from all over the country. After that awkward encounter, Atsumu had volunteered for heavy drinks and well, this was the outcome. “Mmmh- I think I need another drink,” Osamu says, pointing to some chairs. “Yes. Let’s get a few shots- then go home- because I feel like throwing up.” Suna says, a slight smirk playing on his face. “Mister bartender! 4 shots of vodka please!” Atsumu shouts as you all slump against the table. “Yo, Y/N, question… are you single?” Osamu asks as the shots arrive. You nod your head. Your love life so far has been a little boring… just a few hook-ups and dates along the way but no one really stuck. “Ah, you’re the same with Tsumu then!” Osamu says, giggling. Atsumu rolls his eyes and downs the shot in an attempt to push out what Osamu just said. “I mean- ever since you broke up with him, his girlfriend literally broke up with him too- and he never got over you- aFTER 6 YEARS!” Osamu says, chuckling. Atsumu nearly choked on his drink as he processed what Osamu just said- “Excuse me?” You questioned, glaring at Osamu. It takes Osamu a big fat second to realize what he said before a light blush colored his cheeks. “Hey, Suna! Didn’t you say you wanted to check out the toilet earlier?-” Osamu asks suddenly, standing up and picking Suna up by the hoodie. “Wait what?-”
“That was an interesting comment… wasn’t it, Atsumu?” You muttered, downing your shot. Atsumu shoots you a small glare before his cheeks flare in embarrassment. “I mean- Osamu is- a bit correct- I’m still single- but- that wasn’t true, I’m over you- pfft-” Atsumu said, giggling nervously. You chuckled because you’ve noticed that he’s grown more transparent over the years- you can see by the tone of his voice. “Are you sure, Tsumu?” You ask teasingly, leaning in slowly. Atsumu’s eyes widen before downing the rest of his shot. “Y-yes- I’m sure- of course-” Atsumu stutters, a light pink blush on his cheeks. You could just remember that Atsumu did the same thing to you, in high school. The way he made you flutter and smile joyfully- it was amusing. “I’m joking, Atsumu.” You said, giggling as you saw his flustered reaction. “Mmmm- I feel sleepy.” You said as your eyelids feel heavier. “Would you like to go home?” Atsumu asks, fixing your hair a little. He’s grown softer over the years, definitely. Honestly, at first, you’d be very mad at Atsumu if you weren’t drunk, but you were tired. It had been a long day- a small ride home would be okay, right?
“I’m sorry I ended up dragging you to my house.” You said softly, turning on the lights as you stumble into the apartment. Wasted, was the only thing that was right to describe you. Atsumu was right behind you, hoisting your arm up even though he was drunk himself. “No worries Y/N. I wouldn’t want you to stumble over and hit yourself.” Atsumu says as you lay down on the sofa. “Do you want me to get you a cup of water? Some meds, or anything?” Atsumu asks, observing you. You shake your head softly, yawning. “I’ll get you some food, wait here a second,” Atsumu says, standing up. Your head feels heavy against the cushions of the couch- and you feel worn out and tired. “Here you go- some bread, and meds- to avoid headaches,” Atsumu mutters, handing you a pill and a plate of chocolate bread. “Thank you, Tsumu.” You say, starting to eat up the bread. Atsumu’s heart fluttered at your nickname, a visible blush on his cheeks. “Hey, Tsumu, was Osamu really telling the truth? Back at the bar?” You ask softly. You’re currently leaning against Atsumu’s arm, him visibly flustering around your touch. He was definitely caught off guard by your question- a light blush coloring his cheeks. “Yeah. Sure. I guess you could say he was telling the truth.” He chuckles, hoping you wouldn’t kick him off the couch. “Why?”  was the only thing you could say. He sighed softly, sitting you up- a serious conversation, you noted. “I mean… somedays, I just remember how I treated you like shit. How I used you for my own benefit- it’s funny, really, how my feelings have grown over the years. I remember that day, the day you snapped- I was okay with it at first- I saw you as merely a game- but sooner or later I missed you- I missed the way you’d laugh at my cringy jokes, the way you attended every practice I had.” Atsumu mutters, looking down. His tears are threatening to spill and he lets out a breathy chuckle. And it’s so stupid because you can’t love me back. Not after the way, I hurt you and the way you ran off like that- I’m so stupid for loving you… aren’t I?” Atsumu asks. He looks up at you, a small smile playing on his face and he’s on the brink of tears. Back then, he could lie to you so easily- it was as if your feelings didn’t matter to him- but you were surprised to find out that the feelings you had for him… were returned. After all these years, he was willing to give his heart to you. You felt bad for him- of course, he’d think you hate him. You did, really, that day, you cried- you considered moving to another school- but here you were, sitting in front of Atsumu after he had just confessed. “Please say something. I- I won’t be mad if you say you hate me.” Atsumu mutters quietly. You sigh- what do you say?
“Atsumu. Look at me, please?”
He raises his head up to be met by a soft smile. “Tsumu. I don’t hate you, okay?” You say. Even if you’re drunk, your opinion on Atsumu was clear enough. “Yes, I was hurt. You had a girlfriend and you were flirting with me- of course, I was hurt.” You quickly said, looking down. “But I don’t know- you make me feel safe. Even after all those years and I saw you- my feelings all erupted once I saw you. Not gonna lie- it felt shitty- the man who broke my heart stand right then and there.” You gave out a breathy chuckle. Unknowingly, Atsumu was staring right at you with hopeful eyes, hoping for you to say that you loved him back. “Atsumu… I like you, aswell- but I just wanna know if you’re playing games with me. I don’t wanna be some kind of rebound- I don’t wanna raise my hopes up just for you to destroy them.” You muttered softly. “Yes, of course! I- I actually like you this time. You make me so happy, I promise-” Atsumu says, leaping into your arms very suddenly. You yelp at the sudden hug, feeling- inflicted.
“I never got to apologize for my actions- I’m so so sorry- I love you, I love you,” Atsumu mutters into your neck, causing you to giggle. It was amusing- to see Atsumu so flustered over you. “Tsumu. It’s okay, I forgive you.” You mutter softly, petting his hair. Atsumu pulls away, a drunken smile on his face. “C-can I kiss you? I didn’t get a chance to last time…” Atsumu asks slowly, a red blush on his face. You giggle softly- goddamn if he wasn’t cute. “Okay, you can kiss m-” You say slowly, before being interrupted by Atsumu’s lips on yours. His lips are sweet tang against your tongue, and his breath is warm and messy against your lips. You’ve dreamt of this moment since you first laid your eyes on him- his lips against yours, and you’re both a warm ball of happiness. Another life came quicker than expected for Atsumu, but he wasn’t complaining. He got to be with you anyways.

i watched the ep twice bc i didnt take notes the first time BUT. hsmtmts 2.04 thoughts under the cut
gina first. my favorite part of the episode was when she admitted that she feels out of place living in someone else’s house and that she wanted a bigger part in the play. i was SO worried they were gonna just let her happily sideline herself in a “yay she learned her lesson about not being the center of attention” kind of way bc i would not be able to handle that two seasons in a row. let her be angry!!! she has a lot to be upset about
the gina/carlos conflict was awful bc theyre making carlos unreasonably annoying this season. last season he was nice, he was enthusiastic, not competitive and just rooting for other people. idk why they needed to flip him so drastically to being spoiled, rich, selfish, pushy, and bitchy. and on top of that i have not been vibing with the pieces of dialogue theyve been giving him this season just to score woke points. its so unbearably obvious that even though hes a brown gay character, he was written by a white gay person who thought, on some level, that he was giving the gen z kids the #hashtag representation they wanted. his delivery of every line that screams “remember, im mexican” is so awkward, it doesnt land well, and im begging them to stop. they want so badly to commodify his character and parade him around as a “look how diverse our show is!” thing and im so so sick of it bc you can tell, with all the surface-level pieces of dialogue, that they dont actually care at all
(”look around, theres not a lot of me at this school” we GET it, this show wants to be glee so bad)
im honestly starting to slowly ship rina less and less. in season one i loved seeing someone make gina happy, especially since she had no friends before opening up to ricky. but now its just a whole mess and i wish she would love herself a lil more to realize that its not worth all this stress. he made a choice and no amount of conflicted moments of eye contact is going to fully take that back. im not necessarily against love triangle plots, but i HATE the whole “women wait around hopefully while male character, whose decisions have already hurt multiple people, makes up his mind” bullshit
that being said, gina handled the situation like a CHAMP, im dying over how quickly she was able to mask her pain and make the joke about the twix bar. im love her
we were absolutely ROBBED of an ej/big red performance this episode!!! i am at my LIMIT we better get gaston next week or i will riot
on the ej train, him not getting into duke was extremely predictable. we all kinda saw that coming and knew that would be his main point of growth this season. im glad they didnt wait super long to do it. now please @ writers i am BEGGING you to give my man more screen time than one scene per episode
its very odd that they keep making mr mazzara have emotionally tough conversations with the students. i will do a parallel gifset of those once the season ends. i liked his convo with ej for the most part, but he really didnt have to beat him over the head with the “youre an emotionless robot” thing again. its clear ej is gonna throw himself into av club or whatever (even though at the end of last season that was supposed to be big red?) and discover that he has a lot going for him. because he does, he literally has everything going for him, thats why they had to make his “problem” not knowing himself. bisexual ej caswell ftw
i love the parallels between ej and nini this episode? i think since the beginning ive felt that there was a lot about them under the surface that was similar. it was interesting seeing ej tell nini about duke first, instead of the obvious choice of ashlyn. i wouldve loved to see how that scene wouldve gone with ricky, gina, carlos, or big red though bc each reaction and attempt at comforting him wouldve been so different. i didnt love that nini had to be pulled away from the conversation, but im glad they can still talk to each other after everything that went down. and i love the juxtaposition of ej’s convo with mazzara directly following nini’s convo with miss jenn bc theyre essentially the same.
speaking of, i loved miss jenn in this episode. her stories are always so funny, but i loved seeing her care so much for nini and guide her, like a teacher. i loved how she pointed out that everyone who loves nini just wants her to be happy
im glad nini is leaving yac bc there was no good way to keep that up honestly. but im pretty annoyed that they were so obvious about it? like, they immediately made it the worst place in the world without exploring it very much. the place is super unrealistic, ive never been to drama school but im sure it wouldnt be like that. no creative arts place for KIDS would be so impossibly limiting. plus the weird bluish coloring in comparison to the nice warm tones of the rest of the show was, again, a dead giveaway. why send her to the school at all if it wasnt even gonna matter?
even though im glad nini left yac, im NOT looking forward to the way miss jenn is about to bend over backwards to put her in the play somehow. she plays obvious favorites and im so annoyed
(sidenote: nini just? decided to leave yac without consulting her parents??? ummm)
granted is a very good song, one of my faves so far
ricky deciding to tell nini he wants her to stay was stupid. what did he think that would accomplish? who in their right mind would drop out of a good school for you?
i loved when nini said yac was missing something, and miss jenn said “ricky” and nini said “you.” that was so so sweet and cute
i think the kourtney/howie thing is gonna grow on me. i hate amatonormativity so im not a big fan of them introducing a whole ass character exclusively so kourtney can have a love interest, but i loved the gesture he made of bringing her the pizzas and her flashcards. i feel like kourtneys love language is acts of service, and she was literally this meme when he did that for her:
Tumblr media
i liked seeing ashlyn try to be there emotionally for gina! i want more of them together
overall this episode was okay. not enough songs, and i wish they were spreading out the emotional conversations through the season instead of packing them all into literally one episode, but what we did get was pretty good.
after watching the preview i see that next weeks episode is gonna be about carlos’s party, and i love party episodes. BUT i hope that after that ep we finally get an advancement on the north high stuff! i dont give too many fucks about lily, but i wanna see my son asher angel

Mr. Loverman - Chapter 1
a/n: hey! welcome to my first fic on here! i kinda feel like i’m back in freshman year writing youtube rpf but hey! we’re all regressing anyway aren’t we? this is a dreamnotfound fic based on the online personas of georgenotfound and dream. this is in no way meant to pressure them or their relationship, and if either of them say they’re uncomfortable with fanfiction i’ll take this down! but anyway at the beginning of every chapter there will be a content warning section and a summary if needed, or if any plot altering events happen during the possibly triggering sections. i hope y’all enjoy Mr. Loverman, a fic based on the song by Ricky Montgomery. 
THIS IS MY OWN WORK. PLEASE DO NOT REPOST ON ANY OTHER BLOGS/SITES WITHOUT PERMISSION. DO NOT REPOST AS YOUR OWN. 
Prologue 
Sometimes, a simple decision is what changes your life the most. Sometimes, a tragedy is a blessing in disguise. Not always, but enough of the time for a few lucky people to benefit. We were some of those people. A simple decision changed... everything. Everyone. Changed me, changed him. Sometimes, we regret those decisions. Other times, they’re the best thing that’s ever happened. We made history together. We made our own history. We changed ourselves for the better. Part of it was born of tragedy, of pain and suffering, of wrong-place-wrong-time. But after, we were born anew. A butterfly emerging from fog. 
The rainbow after a storm. A soft mist at the edge of a violent fall. Our own little refuge within the storm. We made history together, you and me. 
“I've shattered now, I'm spilling out Upon this linoleum ground  I'm reeling in my brain again Before it can get back to you  Oh, what am I supposed to do without you?”

Chapter One - A New Chapter Of Us
“What if we moved in together?”
George laughed. 
‘What? You’re joking.”
“No! I’m totally serious!” Dream said, laying on his bed. “Think about it. You could get a work visa, come live with me, and we can make videos together! Like vlogs and stuff! You can get away from your family, and I… well I get you! It’s obviously a win-win situation.”
“Vlogs? You don’t even show your face.”
“Oh… yeah. Well, whatever! I’ll do a face reveal. Please, George!”
George’s hesitance showed, making Dream bounce on his knees on the bed, literally begging him.
“Please George! Please!” he laughed, waiting for him to agree. George stayed silent, trying to hide his smile.
“I guess you don’t love me then… oh bother,” Dream fake pouted at him, pretending to cry, rubbing his eyes to make them red. He couldn’t hide the smile in his voice.
“Okay, alright, you wore me down,” George said. “Looks like I’m going to Florida!” 
---
It’d been three months since Dream asked George to move in with him, and every day he’d sent him pictures of their place. Their place. He doesn’t know why that made him so happy to hear, especially coming from Dream. When he showed George the lounge and texted him “our living room :D,”  he felt like his whole entire body was lit ablaze. Like a firework on the Fourth of July -- how American of you already, George, he could hear Dream’s voice saying. It felt like when his first girlfriend told him I love you for the first time. Except... not that. Obviously not that. 
And the day was finally here, after waiting for the visa to get approved, and video chats, and seeing only pictures, it was finally going to be their place. Dream and George’s place. There would be no more lagging video or Discord crashing on them. If the internet went out, he’d still be in the next room over. He’d still be his.
Well, not his. But he’d be there. George felt the need to explain himself even in his own head.
The sound of Dream’s Discord ringer cut through his thoughts, too loud for his own good. He stretched over to his desk and answered, turning his camera on too. 
“Georgie!” Dream said, bouncing with excitement. “Guess what tomorrow is, Georgie.” He leaned forward on his desk, wiggling his eyebrows at George. 
George feigned confusion. “I don’t know, Dream. What’s tomorrow?”
Dream pouted. “Are you being serious right now? Do you really not remember?”
“Dream! I’m literally packing right now!”
“I’m litch-rally packing right now!” Dream mocked, impersonating George’s British accent. George stared him down while Dream was folded over laughing. 
“It’s not too late for me to change my mind, you know.”
“Actually, it is. Work visas have to be used or you’ll get a fine,” Dream said, chewing loudly on what looked like — popcorn? God, Americans were weird. 
“Is that actually true or did you just make that up so I have no choice but to come?” 
Dream looked like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. “...Maybe.” George laughed silently, smiling to himself. He would never say it out loud, but he loved Dream. He didn’t know what made him keep it to himself when Dream all but shouted it from the rooftops, but something inside of him felt it was too real to be said. Dream knew it was true, and that was good enough, right? 
“Did you want to watch me pack?” George said, folding another one of his shirts and placing it in the box. Dream wasn’t paying attention. He was messing with something on his desk, his tongue sticking out and his eyebrows furrowed so tightly you could barely see his eyes. George loved his eyes, they were a warm pale green color that fit him perfectly. George snapped his fingers at Dream and asked if he was listening. 
“Huh? Oh. No. I’m sorry,” Dream looked sheepish, worried. “I didn’t— I didn’t mean to, I just zone out sometimes, I’m really sorr—“ 
“Dream, Dream, calm down. It’s okay,” George smiled. “I’m not mad. Did you want me to ask the question again?”
“Please.”
“I asked if you wanted to watch me pack,” he asked, knowing which answer he hoped for. 
“Ooh, can I stay on?” Dream looked giddy as he asked. “I wanna tell you about my new bedwars record.”
“Sounds perfect, Dream.” 
---
It took him two more hours to finish packing up his clothes, bathroom necessities, and shoes, spare for the ones he needed on the plane. Dream had talked on and on for the whole two hours, about bedwars and what he was going to make for dinner, and how his mom sent him over homemade banana bread the other day. And even Patches made an appearance after a while. 
“Oh my God, Patches! I get to meet Patches! You know Dream, I’m kind of more excited to meet her than I am you.”
“Haha, very funny,” Dream cooed. “Not like Patches will make you dinner or comfort you when you have nightmares. 
“Nightmares? I do not have nightmares!” George defended, despite the fact he did definitely have nightmares. And he knew Dream knew that, he’d been the one called at 4 in the morning and the one who talked George back to sleep. It was all part of the game, though, the cat and mouse they had going on. He wondered who was the cat and who was the mouse
“Whatever helps you sleep at night, Georgie. Oh, wait,” Dream smirked, laughing his ass off. George gasped and tossed his dirty shirt at his webcam, not minding the fact that it was still on his body and that he was now shirtless in his cold room. 
“Hey! I wanna see the view! You look sexy with your hair messed up like that.”
“Haha, very funny,” George fake laughed, though Dream didn’t. He usually laughed after jokes like that. What made this one different? “If I wasn’t so bloody cold right now I’d leave it on there. Make you suffer all alone under there.” He heard Dream whimper, and he didn’t know what it was, but it made his stomach churn. “But, I am very, very freezing right now.”
He pulled the shirt off the webcam, covering his chest with the fabric. “There. You have been freed,” he said, slipping his shirt back on. He swore he saw Dream’s eyes linger on the strip of skin still exposed on his stomach before he pulled it down. 
“I’m gonna go make some dinner,” George said, checking the time on his phone. “What, it’s already 9? Jesus. I’ll be right back, I’m gonna go make some cereal real quick, stay on the call.”
George put Dream’s volume loud enough that he could hear it decently from across the flat. Meaning, Dream could also hear him burning himself. 
“Did you just burn yourself? Aren’t you making cereal?” 
“Um…maybe?” he said, shouting over the cold running water. “I may have accidentally left the oven on from when I made salmon last night.”
“Last night?” Dream screamed in horror. “Genuinely, how are you not dead yet?” 
“I don’t know!” he said, wincing and drying off his hand before grabbing his bowl of cereal. Well, it wasn’t a bowl, but a large Tupperware container. 
“Is that Tupperware?” Dream asked as he sat down at his desk. 
“It was the easiest thing to unpack.” 
George ate his cereal in silence for a few minutes, drinking down the last bit of the sugary milk before asking “What were you staring at earlier? When you got distracted.” 
It took Dream a few seconds, but he finally remembered. “Oh! This!” He pulled out a tiny crossbow made of pencils and shot a rubber band at his camera. 
“That’s actually so sick,” George said, staring more intently at his screen to get a closer look. Dream went off on a tangent about it, showing him the mechanics and everything it could shoot. He swore he’d have another one for George by the time he got home. Home. He liked that word coming out of Dream’s mouth. He liked hearing it about himself. 
Eventually, it got too late for George to be up anymore. His flight left in 7 hours and he still needed to pack his PC. Dream pouted when he told him he had to go, but perked back up when he remembered the next time he’d see George, he’d be able to hug him! He was all but forcing his body to get tired after that. 
“Wake me up if you need me, okay?”
“Okay.”
“I love you, Georgie,” Dream smiled. This time, he didn't sound teasing. He sounded genuine, more genuine than he’d heard in a long time. 
“I… admire you too, Dream.” George’s face went flush and hot, his cheeks blotchy with pink and peach. 
“Psh! When are you ever gonna say it back?” 
“Never, I thought we’d been over this.”
“Mark my words, Georgie. I will get you to say it back sooner or later.”
Yeah, right.
