Billy gets a box of chocolates for valentines day from a girl he hooked up with 3 weeks ago. He went down on her and she saw Jesus or something and has been a real slut for Billy since. But he doesn't even like chocolate. And he's a man and doesn't need sweets or kindness and Neil would beat his faggot ass for coming home with a heart shaped box of chocolates. So he knows he has to get rid of them, wants to, like right now. There he is in the hallway with the box under one arm and the other arm bent to wipe at his mouth and there's Steve Harrington, head down, his dumb friends a ways behind him. He was right there and Billy thrust out the box and said, Here.
Steve stopped, catching the box to his stomach, looking between it and Billy twice before saying, What?
For you Pretty Boy, Billy grinned, all teeth, pulling out his cigarettes. He couldn't be caught with fuckin candy; what was that girl's name anyway? Stephanie? Susan?
Oh, Steve says. He's looking at the box in his hands and his eyes are all crinkled like he's thinking hard. Billy pulls a cig from his pack and puts it to his mouth for something to mouth out, pretend he's chewing, trying not to gnash at. Uh, Steve says, For you.
And he's holding out a rose. A single red rose wrapped in plastic and a red ribbon. Billy looks at it for a second, because what, and then he's taking it. Grabbing the rose from Steve's fingers with his own, holding it between them. Steve moved his feet then shuffled his heart shaped box and said, Yeah, I was stupid and got it for someone who wouldn't want it but you, I mean, you should have it. It's yours.
Billy thought of the little ex girlfriend and looked up at Steve's face. He still had that furrowed brow, but he looked up at Billy too and he didn't flinch. No hesitation, just some kind of determination. Some kind of stupidity, if you asked Billy.
What the hell, Tommy Hagan says from behind them, his girl holding a bouquet of pink flowers. You guys fags now or something?
Steve laughed, outright laughed in Tommy's face and called out, What's it to you, asshole? Jealous? Then he turns back to Billy, his smile softening to something he's never shown Billy before and he says, Meet me at the bleachers after school, Hargrove, followed by a wink. A wink at Billy. The type of wink Billy would give girls to get them to take off their skirts, a wink that would make even old ladies blush. Billy can't help it, he cackles into the hall with all his teeth and he's smiling and smiling.
Sure thing, Harrington, he croons. He licks his canines in Steve's direction and he turns towards the door with his red rose and his cigarette and his empty mouth full of teeth. Happy fucking valentine's day to me, he thinks, and bites the rose right off it's bud.

"what if we shot a RPG and stared at the explosions like new years fireworks and then we lay in the long grass and maybe for a moment we were in love in the way the long grass loves sunlight and not in love in the way a rocket loves to explode" -Kath, who got to see this piece earlier than anyone else, who's words stuck with me like they tend to do <3
This is my piece for the iasip Valentine's zine over at @its-always-ziney-in-philadelphia ! :)

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS DID NOT GO WHERE I WAS EXPECTING IT TO OH MY GOD /POS
PENELOPE’S THEME AND INSTRUMENT?? ODYSSEUS BEING QUITE LITERALLY BACKED INTO A CORNER AND HAVING SEEMINGLY NO OTHER WAY TO SAVE HIS MEN BUT STILL NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING HIMSELF TO GO THROUGH WITH THE ACT (EVEN THO IT WOULDN’T BE A TRUE ACT OF BETRAYAL BECAUSE THERE’S NO ACTUAL CONSENT ON HIS SIDE AND IT WAS SOMETHING HE WAS ABOUT TO BE COERCED INTO)??? CIRCE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BEFORE AND BELIEVING THAT “BECOMING THE PUPPETEER” IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP HERSELF AND HER NYMPHS SAFE SO SHE OFFERS THIS “ACT OF PASSION” TO STILL HAVE A FORM OF CONTROL, AND THEN SEEING ODYSSEUS IS NOT LIKE THOSE BEFORE BECAUSE HE’S SO IN LOVE WITH PENELOPE (WHO HE HASN’T SEEN IN 12 YEARS) THAT HE REFUSES HER OFFER AND PLEADS BECAUSE IT’S NOT WORTH IT EVEN THO THATS THE ONLY OPTION HE’S BEEN GIVEN??? HIM CALLING HIMSELF A PUPPET MAKING HER REALIZE THAT THIS CYCLE OF ABUSE AND CONTROL ISN’T WORTH IT ONLY TO COME TO A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE TRULY IN LOVE AND TO BE HURT, SO SHE OFFERS HIM AN ACT OF KINDNESS INSTEAD???
“Maybe showing one act of kindness leads to kinder souls down the road”

honestly bard bands in ffxiv are still such a mindblowingly cool concept to me. we hired the wiggles for a fc party once and after playing banger after banger the guy behind it saw us trying to pay him extra gil for the performance but instead of accepting it he flew away with balloons as we chased him across the lavender beds. surreal
