BOUQUETS – leah williamson
in which leah, famous hater of tiktok joins in on a trend, for you.
one thing about your girlfriend that not many people knew - is that she is secretly an absolute dork, through and through. her signature frown and grumpy expression when she focused, meant that not only was she endlessly teased by you for it, and jokingly reminded that if the wind blew she’d be stuck like that - but also that she gained a reputation for being very serious, and rarely showing her emotions, particularly on the pitch.
you however, and anyone who had the pleasure of getting to see her behind closed doors, and truly knowing her - knew that that was the furthest thing from the truth.
which, is what led you to now.
you’d been sprawled almost flat on top of her in bed for what had felt like hours on end, your favourite place to be on the rare occasion that you both had a day off, when an unusual silence settled between the two of you.
unusual, in the sense that these private moments between the pair of you were usually filled by leah’s rambles about anything and everything, a narration of every single thought that had remained unspoken over the time she wasn’t with you.
“what are you doing?” you protested, breaking the silence and grumbling into the crook of your neck, not even a millisecond after her fingers stopped trailing through your hair.
“nothing, grouchy! just trying to figure out this stupid thing. bloody tiktok i swear! i don’t know how you and the girls love it so much, makes no sense!” she waved her phone in the air, eyebrows furrowing and that frown deepening - but her fingers instantly resuming their actions in your hair, causing you to slump once more.
“wait babe why are you on tiktok! you hate tiktok!” the realisation hit you rather slowly due to your state, your mind flashing back to the what must be hundreds of times that you begged her to do a cute video with you - only to be met with a rant about how much she despised the app.
“oi! mind your business. you’ll see! just need some patience my girl!” she chuckled, bopping you on the nose as she tilted her screen just out of your eyes’ reach.
to say you were confused was a major understatement. you knew you could’ve seen her screen if you really wanted to, your position on top of her giving you a rare power.
one that you knew not to test, however. so, you let yourself shrug off her strange behaviour and settle back into her, being pulled in by the addictiveness that was her skin, and her scent.
“there! done!” she pushed her phone into your face, so suddenly it almost made you jump.
and what faced you, confused you almost as much as when it was hidden from you.
it was her lockscreen. a new one, replacing the picture of the two of you.
a bouquet of flowers.
they were cute, undeniably. dainty little illustrated cartoon flowers, in a variety of colours and styles, put together in a bouquet - in the middle of a plain background.
but not enough to match the shit eating, proud yet almost shy grin that was spread across her lips.
“it’s….cute? lee i don’t get why you’re showing me this though?” your frown mirrored her previous one, confusion visible all over your face that made her giggle, and prod at your flushing cheek.
“look silly girl, it’s some trend on tiktok that beth showed me. there’s a flower for each letter of the alphabet, and people have been putting them together and spelling out their partner’s names to make a little bouquet and i thought it was cute, okay!” she said, almost sheepishly - looking away from you as you sat up, grinning.
“you’re so cute oh my god.” you peppered kisses all over her face, ignoring her protests.
“the team cannot hear about this. kay? i’m their captain, i have a reputation to uphold!” she met your lips in a kiss, almost immediately proving her own point wrong.
“i think everyone knows how much of a dork you are baby i’m afraid, we’re way past that point!”

since yall seem to think me criticizing tiktok trends that perpetuate misogyny means I loathe women, here's some really cool and fun tiktok trends by women that Aren't sexist and Awful like the ones in this post
girl dinner when it's just the most random assortment of stuff like. some hot pickles, cheetos, a slice of cheesecake, and a monster energy drink.
"in the year of the barbie movie?"/"they should've touched on this in the barbie movie."
speaking of the barbie movie, when they were showing off the outfits them and their friends wore to go see it. they were so creative and fun omg
when femmes make matching outfit videos w their butches 😭
that sound that's like "ladies if you want to attract a man do (x)" and so the girl does the exact opposite of each step until she's wearing like. an inflatable horse costume.
those videos where they're doing their makeup but describing the most insane batshit things
"list of things you can do to make men super angry" and it's the funniest shit imaginable to fuck w their ego
trans women documenting their joy in femininity and excitement over getting to be feminine
black women making videos where they're doing smth soft and feminine and taking joy in it
fat women (feminine or masculine) showing off their outfits and talking abt where they got each piece and how they styled it
those videos where they start talking abt how like. you have to take off your boobs when you shower and men in the comments are so confused and not understanding that they're joking and they just keep the bit going
90% of those "how I love being a woman" videos bc it's either women finding joy in femininity or a joke one that's tongue in cheek poking fun at sexism
those ones where moms and daughters will dress up like each other and giggle about it
yall can add on if you want :)
but you see how easy it is to have fun and celebrate femininity Without falling for sexist trends?

The Marauder’s Beige Flags…
James: He’ll zone out mid conversation, forget what you were talking about, but feel so bad about it that he’ll try and figure out the conversation topic and act like it never happen.
Sirius: Growls in his sleep, like a dog dreaming…
Remus: Before getting up to do something, or leave, he’ll clap his hands like old white dad and say ‘alright then…’
Peter: Answers his own thoughts out loud, but won’t give any context to the thought he had.
Lily: Will purposely tell people (strangers) they’re singing a lyric wrong, just to fuck with them.
Marlene: If they ask somebody to do something for them, and they say no, they always reply with ‘it’s cause i’m gay, isn’t it?’ Or ‘it’s cause I’m Asian, that’s why? God, can’t believe you…’
Mary: Almost too calm when they could be having a medical emergency. Weird pain in side? Now why would it be appendicitis. Blocked ear? Eh, who needs to hear anyway. Fainting? It’s not like she’s dying.
Dorcas: Leaves false lashes everywhere. It’s like a fucking trail.
Regulus: If he doesn’t want to be in a conversation, he’ll make such a confusing lie that people won’t actually notice him leave until he’s fully left the room.
Barty: When someone asks him if he wasn’t something to eat, he’ll say ‘you’ in a deadpan tone (mainly to Evan).
Evan: Doesn’t ask for details in stories. Either you have to tell him throughout the story in it’s entirety or just accept the fact he’ll never know. Real shit gossiper.
Pandora: A little too good at gaslighting. But will tell you she’s shit at it.
