suprisingly not that many people ship them, but the thing is. the "&" is literally in the top 3 relationships!! i have not been in a fandom where a "&" is one of the most popular rships. (im not exactly.. against them? i prefer brotp in general but there are a lot of uh racist antis against that romantic ship so i like it on principle for the ~spite~)
i think theres a difference between a ship fic and a ..normal fic(?). like. usually in ship fics the plot and the focus would be their interactions/getting together. whereas for regular fics u can kinda balance plot and rship, but the main plot isnt actually getting together. do u kinda get what i mean haha
no no feel free to rant! its kinda funny that they taught u to swear in yr6 but rip for not being able to censor urself. and also. broke up. over facebook??? better or worse than text lmao.
the only rship ive had started off... not great. like it was an online friend from south america, and they asked me out literally the day i rejected my friend. so... i said yes out of guilt for rejecting my friend bc it didnt look like my friend was taking the rejection well ^^; not a wonderful start rip. went well for 6-8 months then we broke up bc the honeymoon period wore off and i havent talked to them since! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 it was fun tho, but it felt honestly just more online friends tbh (....interesting decisions all around yknow? )
it be how it be. i was still id'ing as panromantic ace at the time. but still. im wondering if i could eventually "work" with someone? or is that just. allonormative asgsggshshd
i see enemies to lovers but what i Rlly want is enemies to friends to lovers. the friends is necessary!! at least in a long fic haha. ...and love at first sight sounds really fake to me? it sounds just like a hyperbole tbh. like maybe it was first wow u seem like a great person and then u like, get to know each other and then fall in love, etc etc
(👀 oop i type a lot. Rip)
oh yiiiikes i hate when fandom gets those racist fans. i’m kind of,,, dense?? about that kind of thing (abt a lot of similar things too), so whenever i see it, it’s like. mega bad. but nice! i don’t ever pay attention to what’s the most popular in terms of ao3 because when i get into a fandom i’ll blacklist every thing i’m not comfortable seeing in said fandom and then save that for when i’m gonna check out said fandom. for example [here is my atla filters], [here is my mha filters] and [here is my ml filters]. (i also use an extention called ao3rdr which has a blacklist function and my blacklist is SO LONG. but it’s an essential so that i don’t feel like my brain is going to rot by trying to find good fics.)
ye!!! i always think abt it in terms similar to genres. i hate watching films and regular books because genres are so....stilted? and ridgid in what it involves? so in fandom terms i think there’s two main kind of genre categories that have sub categories. there’s ship fic, then there’s genfic. no clue if these are wide spread terms i’ve just kind of understood it that way lol. but within those two categories, there’s sub genres like canon divergence that focus on said ship but with a focus on the plot as well so there’s two plots going on rather than just the main plot. usually there’s always equals in both sides. i think that’s what you’re thinking of. the difference is how the authors approach their fics, whether they think it’s a ship fic explorating the how do they get together of relationships or if it’s the genfic of exploring the relationship itself.
lmao yeah it was like. the only way we’d communicate in non-irl fashion because we were both like. 12/13 so we’d have like. pay as you go plans for our phones so i at least, hoarded my credit and primarily used alternate communication methods. so idk if this is wide spread but at the time we never got into the habit of communicating via text. it’s why still to this day i never ever contact my irl friends via texts, and always through social media (the only time i ever use facebook nowadays is to message my friends tho i’ve been,,,, rather lax abt that. i need to respond to one of my group chats but i’m,,, procrastinating). and we were both awkward people, so i wasn’t bothered by the online breakup, if he didn’t break up w me that way i’d have guessed we just,,, wouldn’t address the relationship ever again and still technically be together but not at the same time lol
oh man that sounds rough. never had any experiences w online relationships, but i can definitely see where it could feel like an online friendship. because,,, idk maybe it’s just me but there doesn’t??? seem like there’s much?? romantic-esque stuff you can do exclusively online?? it’s why long distance relationships are hard, and they only fit certain couples. and lol i deffo understand that feel of internet friends dropping out of your life suddenly. i still think of nearly all my internet friends fondly...except for the bad ones. yeah some of those ones ten years ago were p bad.
it is!! i think that people always shorten it to just enemies to lovers though because it’s easier to say lol. i’m MUCH more interested in the genfic varient of enemies to found family because it goes from “god i want to kill you so bad” to “god i need to kill for you like rn”. it’s just,,, *chef’s kiss*
(dw i type a LOT too lmaooo and sorry it took so long for me to reply, i didn’t feel like talking to anyone for a few days ahah i just get those kinds of moods sometimes. as evidenced by my also ignoring of my friend group chat of over seven years, that i’ve been meaning to reply to for over 24 hours and i haven’t yet. yay.)

In sickness and in health
Henry Cavill x OC Lisa - multi-chapter fic
Author’s note: Lisa is overworked and sick as a dog, while Henry is the ever-loving, doting caretaker. A little fluffy fluff on the Thursday morning, because I couldn’t sleep (surprise Henry sneaking in on Snyder’s watch party, I hold you responsible). 
Word count: 1.842

Tumblr media
‘You’re not okay,’ He said softly, pushing my boggling body back in the pile of pillows on the bed. 
I knew he was right. I was somewhere in between a heavy cold and fever-town, but that definitely did not stop me from being obnoxiously stubborn. I wanted to go out for heaven’s sake! Right now my sexy heels should be carrying me through the restless city streets, ready to go to a party. To have fun! But no. It was New Year’s eve and here I was, sitting in bed, looking like a wet rag. And it sucked.
‘Well then at least you go. I won’t accept that I am spoiling this night for you too.’ I tried, my voice coming out too brittle for my liking. Henry’s face scrunched up. ‘You are a piece of work woman.’ He chuckled, giving me a loving look. ‘Thankfully..I can be just as stubborn as you are. And I. Am. Not. Leaving.’ ‘But Jason organised this whole party. And you so wanted to go. You’ve been talking about it for weeks now.’ ‘I know. But there will be more parties. And right now, you first need to get better.’ He cupped my cheek, trying to sooth away my frustrations.
I huffed in annoyance, moving my face away from his hand as I turned on my side, rolling away from him. ‘I hate this.’ I sulked, pulling up the blankets as I felt another cold shiver rush over me. Henry was quiet, his hand gently folding a bit of hair behind my ear, his eyes burning into the back of my head. ‘Can I get you anything love? Tea? Soup? ..A hug?’ His voice was gentle, unfazed by my moping.
I quietly shook my head, my head burning hotly beneath the blanket that I had dragged up to my chin.
It had been a while since I had felt so bad. Actually… Come to think of it. The last time was about a year ago, also during my holidays. I knew I was a bit of a workaholic. I knew I probably should take a few more weeks off in the year, to recharge. But then there always was this new cool project. Or I just couldn’t refrain myself from opening a few e-mails, which then totally escalated again to the point that I was having hour-long work calls. Yes. I was really bad at my work-life balance and my body paid the price.
I felt Henry’s body lift from the mattress as he got up again, his feet shuffling out of the bedroom as he let out the quietest sigh. From that sound alone I knew he was feeling upset and it made me feel crazy guilty. Guilty for him having to see me like this. Guilty for being the major cause of this. Why did I have to be so darn stubborn?
‘Henn?’ I called out feebly.
I heard his footsteps stop mid stairway.
‘Yes dear?’ He answered, his feet immediately moving back to the bedroom.
I rolled around so I could look at him.
‘I’m sorry.’
My jaw clenched as I saw him look at me with those big puppy eyes. It was more than evident that he was feeling worried about me, his nose flaring in discomfort as his eyes trailed over the small sweat drops on my temples.
‘Don’t be. Baby. Just..relax. Try to sleep a bit.’ He moved back to the bed and folded back the blankets, his hand picking up the washcloth from the nightstand, gently dabbing the sweat off my forehead. ‘No..I’m really sorry. This happens every time I take a holiday. My body just crashes. I… I work too much.’ I sighed, my eyes looking anywhere but at Henry, my hands fumbling with the covers. Henry sat down again on the edge of the bed, continuing to dab my head as the sweat drops kept rolling.
Gods I was feeling so shit. My head felt like a ton of bricks, my throat sandpaper and my muscles were aching so badly it felt like I had been hit by a truck.
‘I’m just so darn stubborn.’ I croaked, finally looking back at him. He smiled again. ‘Yes you are. And.. I like that, I do. Just not when you get ill because of it. I want to have you around for as long as is humanly possible, you know?’ His tender words made my heart buzz. ‘I know.’ I nodded slowly, rubbing my head into his hand and closing my eyes for a moment.
We stayed like that for a few minutes. His hand dabbing the sweat of my forehead as he began to hum a slow tune. I felt all worries wash away as the cold cloth gently travelled across my aching hot skin.
‘Could we at least move to the couch? I miss Kal.’ I hummed, finally opening my eyes again.
Henry chuckled. ‘If you promise me you’ll stay put.’ I shrugged. ‘Not like I can do much else.’
‘Okay then.’ He said, sitting back a bit so he could fold away the blankets. I pulled up my feet to get up, but before they even touched the floor I felt myself being scooped up by Henry. ‘I can walk.’ I protested, pouting my cracked lips. ‘And I.. like carrying you.’ He retorted, smiling smugly.
The tv was set to its lowest volume as we sat snuggled up on the couch. Henry was wearing a simple black sweater and jogging pants, his arms protectively wrapped around the pile of blankets I was wrapped in. I didn’t know whether I was comfortably toasty, or sick toasty, but I didn’t really care. Henry seemed more than a little happy he could have his arms around me and keep me safe. Ever the knight in shining armour.
‘Your mom told me you were a great fan of King Arthur and his knights when you were young.’ I said with my raspy voice, looking up at him as he peered at the tv. He sniffled, giving me a crooked smile. ‘I was..and still am by the way.’ His smile grew wider as he saw the amused look on my face. ‘How are you feeling?’ His hand brushed away some hair that was sticking to my forehead. ’Okay now. I don’t think I have felt this safe and cosy in my life.’ I snickered, nestling my head back in the nape of his neck.
‘Then I am doing a good job.’ He kissed the top of my head, resting his lips there before moving up ever so slightly. ‘What else did you talk about with my mum?’ His curiosity seeped through his semi-casual tone. I shrugged. ‘Girl things.’
‘Oh don’t give me that. We would have no secrets, right?’ The smile was evident in his voice. ‘Mmmm. Well I wasn’t the only one with secrets. You were pretty..open towards your mom about your secrets while I was asleep on your lap.’ I pushed myself up a bit, my arm shaking with effort. Immediately I felt Henry’s arm wrapping around mine, steadying me as my body trembled with effort. ‘Easy, easy.’ He whispered.
His eyes gave me a quick full-body scan to see if I was alright, before looking back into mine.
‘I’m okay.’ I confirmed with an amused tone as I laid a weak hand on his chest, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. Henry shifted slightly in his seat, careful not to shake me up, before licking his lips and looking back at me. ‘Well..I hope that didn’t catch you by..surprise..’ He breathed, checking my reaction. My smile grew wider. ‘No. But you were right about one thing..’ I looked down at my hand on his broad chest, my fingers grazing gently over the soft cable knit. He wore this sweater so often the threads were baring thin at some points.
‘We haven’t really spoken about it all that much.’ He filled in for me. I nodded, looking back up. His tender eyes had gotten a whole lot more stormy now, his nostrils flaring.
He lowered his eyes, licking his lips again. Was he nervous?
‘Well just to confirm. I do want kids, another dog AND a house with a nice garden.’ I nodded, feeling my already hot cheeks burn as his hot gaze quickly peeked back at me. I folded one of my hands around my cheek, feeling the skin burn. ‘I’m not even sure anymore if I’m blushing or blazing.’ I snickered. He smiled, letting out a small breath as he leaned towards the sidetable to grab the cool washcloth and dab it on my heated face again.
‘Good. And marriage..still okay?’ He peered into my eyes as his hand gently pressed the cloth against my cheeks. ‘Of course. I could do with a different last name.’ I shrugged, feigning disinterest. He chuckled, his hand turning my head so I could see him raising a handsome eyebrow in challenge. ‘What?’ I chuckled, leaning into the coolness of the cloth, the moisture forming drips on my salty skin. Two can play that game, I thought, giving him my most seductive gaze. Henry swallowed harshly as his hand froze for a moment against my cheek, our eyes just looking deeply into one another.
In the back of my mind I half-registered the tv had started a count down. But his eyes. Those eyes. I couldn’t look away.
The sound got a touch louder as we heard the neighbours following along top lung, their count down sounding through the living room wall.
‘9..8…7..’
Henry sat up a bit, moving away the wash cloth.
‘6…5…4..’
Our eyes blazed as our lips were curled in stupid smiles. Blue meets green. Boy meets girl. Husband meets wife?
‘3..2...’
I let out a small gasp as Henry bent over.
‘I want it all with you Henry. I do.’ I whispered against his lips, our kiss forming a perfect seal of promises made.
‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!! WOOHOO YEAAAAAA!!!’ The neighbours went berserkers as a loud pop sounded of a champagne bottle.  
Meanwhile our living room was a whole lot more quiet. Much to our amusement. We let out a soft chuckle as Henry’s hand sneaked around my head, pulling me as close as he dared.
‘Happy new year love.’ He smiled, his cheeks showing those cute dimples as he pressed the wash cloth back against my heated skin, our noses touching.
‘Hmm..’ I hummed, leaning into the cool cloth and closing my eyes. ‘Happy new year.’
‘And..’ He sat back a bit. ‘I have a first proposal to make.’
My stomach did a little summersault as I gave him a confused look. ‘Now..?’ I asked, unsurely. He chuckled. ‘Now’s as good a time as any.’ He sat back a bit more and pulled my hands into his, giving me an intent look. ‘Dear Lisa. Would you, please, go on a holiday with me?’
I burst out laughing.
‘Oh by Merlin’s beard! Henry, you! Hahaha.’ I rolled my eyes, before nodding “yes”.

10. “To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, and lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous. So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it's the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it's the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases."

Disastrous [pt.6]
Chapters: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
Genre: fluff, comedy, romcom
Main Characters: Kim Namjoon; Gu Dasom (OC)
Setting: holiday AU; friends to lovers AU
I knew that this holiday will be difficult with Namjoon by my side but I never thought that it would be this difficult.
An arranged holiday with my best friend to a breath-taking island? What could actually go wrong? In my case, the question is, what didn’t go wrong?
Tumblr media
The next hours were spent with walking back to the bus station. The distance was long, so it took us 5 hours to get there. Namjoon said that we could have gone faster if the weather hadn’t been so hot and it hadn’t been around midday. I sometimes really felt like I could faint because as I’ve mentioned, we had no food, nor water. Luckily, we found a fountain on our way where we could drink a little but because we didn’t have money, we couldn’t even dream about buying anything. It was so humiliating. I didn’t have any kind of headwear, so I wouldn’t have been surprised if I had gotten sunstroke. Namjoon also felt a bit dizzy but he always felt it as his priority to encourage me to keep going.
I was never keen on walking or hiking or any kind of those outdoor physical activities but after our 5-hour journey, I hated even the idea of moving my pinkie for the next few hours. I’d never been more tired in my whole life and I immediately sat down on the ground when we got back my best friend’s backpack. I was just so exhausted. So, so exhausted.
“Ah, I’m so happy it’s over!” I blurted without much thinking and took a big sip of the water bottle. It felt incredibly good as my throat had been dry for hours.
Namjoon also let himself slide down to sit on the ground beside me. I voluntarily leaned onto his shoulder while he slung his arms around mine. It was beyond reassuring, it was almost like heaven. I could pacify my crazily beating heart and wildly rumbling thoughts by then, so I could finally feel at ease. He was beside me, I was beside him and nothing ever seemed more perfect than that.
“I feel like I could eat a cow right now,” I murmured out a jumble of words and earned an ethereal chortle from Namjoon.
“We don’t have enough money to buy you a cow,” he said in between laughs but I just playfully smacked him in the chest.
“Yah! Don’t make me sad, Namjoon!” I pouted like a little girl and it made him laugh even more. I adored watching him laugh because I never considered myself a funny girl and he still had a fun time beside me. I was kind of proud of that.
“I don’t want to but that’s the truth.”
“I know.”
“But I’ll pay for your dinner. Deal?” he raised his eyebrows in question when I withdrew. I knew he wanted to compensate me for losing his bag and making me super worried throughout the day, so I gave in. I didn’t want him to feel worse.
“Deal,” I nodded as excitedly as I could but I must have looked like a runner after completing the marathon. My hair was more like a bird nest and my face was all red thanks to the heat. My clothes were covered in sweat and I was happy if I could walk back safely to our accommodation on my feet.
We just sat there for God knows how long before we decided to find a cosy and fairly cheap restaurant to eat something. I was never really fond of hamburgers but when I saw that it was on the menu, I didn’t hesitate to order one. A really big one. I was hungry and my stomach was growling again and again, its weird noises an urging for me to get some food. Namjoon chose the same and we were munching away on our hamburgers without saying a single word out loud. We desperately needed those extra calories.
Due to the fact that it was already 5 o’ clock and we were hardly in a condition to continue our sight-seeing tour, we headed back to the guest house. I was never happier to see those dull, white walls and familiar bunk-bed than that particular night. I realised that a lot of mishaps occurred during our holiday and our room wasn’t even the worst of them.
“Can I sleep now?” I sneaked a glance at Namjoon like I needed his permission to go to bed. He looked at me dearly and pinched my cheeks. If the hot weather didn’t make them heat up a bit, his touch definitely did.
“Of course you can. We had quite a rough day, so you deserve a good night’s sleep,” he nodded and pointed to the bottom mattress. I hopped down without hesitation but before I fell onto the quilt, I made sure that I grabbed his wrist and pulled him with me. It didn’t take him by surprise, thus he didn’t even protest.
I wanted to doze off against his shoulder because I didn’t really remember the last time when we slept like that. We were best friends for 15 years now but our friendship started just like any other; totally unexpectedly. We encountered at a playground in Goyang and made a pinky promise that we will be together until the end. It all started with silly things that 6-year-old kids do; killing our time at the playground, sharing our toys with each other, talking about our favourite animated shows and playing hide and seek in our garden.
We weren’t neighbours but we spent a lot of time together and the more we grew, the more we needed each other’s company. I remember vividly that I always shared my fears with him while we were looking at the stars from the terrace of his room. He listened to me patiently and waited until I didn’t have anything else to say. Then, he rubbed his chin, tilted his head in contemplation and started talking about solutions how I should be more confident and face those obstacles. I never knew how that 6-year-old immature guy with the grey braces turned into a wise, philosophical teenager but he definitely changed. Puberty hit him so hard – or me, I don’t know – that I started seeing him as a man and not a boy. But soon, I felt the same way about my male classmates as well and that thought never flew across my mind again until 2 months ago.
“You know it’s funny,” Namjoon whispered as I rested my head on his shoulder. This silence wasn’t like the one before; it was serene and soft like a cloud hovering on the clear-blue sky.
“What?”
“I saw a lot of sides of you in the last 15 years but you never fail to show me new sides since we started our journey,” his hushed voice was full of awe and I didn’t really know why. I was pretty sure that witnessing how I had acted in the last couple of days was nothing but troublesome. I was whining, I was yelling at him and I was screaming because of a giant spider. What could have been so pleasant about that?
“Is that a good thing?” I glared at him, not sure what kind of answer I would get. His serious expression slowly dissolved into a nostalgic smile.
“Yes, it is. You are my best friend and it’s such a pity that we can’t spend as much time together as we used to since we started university. I guess that’s why I felt like we slowly drifted apart in the last couple of years. You know, there was school, assignments, new friends and you had Hyeonuk as well−” he suddenly confessed and I couldn’t help but flinch painfully at the mention of my ex-boyfriend.
I met Heyonuk 2 years ago at a college party and we had been a couple for 23 months when he said that he wanted to break up. That asshole. I inwardly cursed myself for ever trusting that guy, even though he was such a sweetheart until he announced that it was over.
“You felt like we drifted apart because of Hyeonuk?” I asked, almost frantically because I’d never thought that Namjoon would feel like I had chosen my boyfriend over him. He wasn’t jealous, he seemed to get along well with Hyeonuk when I was around, so he didn’t show any sign of jealousy. Or he was a really impressive actor.
“Yes, a little bit,” he admitted without hesitation. He didn’t seem nervous, he didn’t even nibble his lips but the dimples deepened with his smile. He wasn’t mad and I admired him for his understanding. It was one of the things on the endless list of what I loved about him. “But I don’t blame you. If you’re in love, you have to spend more time with your boyfriend than with your best friend.”
“That’s not true,” I shook my head immediately because I learned from my parents that you shouldn’t neglect your friends and family even if you are in love. “You should have told me if it really irritated you.”
“It doesn’t really matter anymore,” he waved his hands in an attempt to leave the subject and move on. “Hyeonuk doesn’t know what he missed when he said that you’re too dull and worthless for him,” he quoted the exact same words that my boyfriend had told me two months ago and even flinched like he was hurt.
He was the one who scooped me up after Hyeonuk said goodbye and that’s when I started developing feelings for him. Seeing how he cared about me and cursed at my ex-boyfriend made me feel touched. He never acted like that before when my relationships ended but that’s also true that none of my relationship were as long yet painful as the one with Hyeonuk.
“That douchebag,” I snorted furiously but my expression suddenly changed when I heard my best friend’s reaction. I couldn’t suppress the urge to smile as widely as possible.
“That crazy bastard,” he spluttered the words dismissively and when we met each other’s gazes, we broke into little fists of laughter. That made me remember for the good old days when it was so usual that we dissed my ex-boyfriends and his ex-girlfriends like that. The thought that we were getting closer and closer again melted my heart a bit.
We were talking for an hour or so and I wish we could speak more but I had already stifled a yawn like 12 times and when he noticed my sleepy eyes, he turned off the lights and walked up on the ladder. When I heard that he arrived on his mattress, I whispered to him like we always did when we had a sleepover at each other’s houses.
“Good night, Namjoonie.”
“Good night, Dasomie.”
His deep, hoarse voice was the sweetest melody that could cherish me to sleep.

A few days late, but as promised, I'm finally answering this. Thanks goes to @hailkuvira and @mindatworkk for tagging me! ^_^
Rules: Answer these 92 statements and tag 20 people
THE LAST: 1. Drink: Forest berry (including strawberry, raspberry and blueberry) flavoured Nestea, yum! A new brand of Nestea that I bought for the first time this weekend. Reminds me of regular berry juice. 2. Phone call: My mother. 3. Text message: Does the messenger on Facebook count? Cause then it'd be a chat about how we're doing with my former classmate, K.H. 4. Song you listened to: "Stay" by Hurts, their last song during the concert at Õllesummer. 5. Time you cried: Last week during a senseless row, after which everybody made up.
HAVE YOU: 6. Dated someone twice: Not yet. 7. Kissed someone and regretted it: No. 8. Been cheated on: No. 9. Lost someone special: Yes, of course - a close family member, a schoolmate from our parallel class, famous Estonians who were and continue to be close to our hearts. 10. Been depressed: I haven't had depression (as in the mental illness that needs medical attention), but I've been through some hard times, sure. 11. Gotten drunk and thrown up: No, and this is something I'm proud of. I've never been drunk and intend to keep it that way because I simply don't like alcohol.
LIST 3 FAVORITE COLORS: 12-14: Red, blue, black (black especially when it concerns clothing because it makes me look thinner).
IN THE LAST YEAR HAVE YOU: 15. Made new friends: Yes. 16. Fallen out of love: No. 17. Laughed until you cried: Definitely, many times! Most likely while watching/reading something funny. 18. Found out someone was talking about you: I don't think so. 19. Met someone who changed you: Again, I don't think I've changed. 20. Found out who your friends are: I've always known who they are. 21. Kissed someone on your Facebook list: No.
GENERAL: 22. How many of your Facebook friends do you know in real life: All of them I believe, since I don't have many friends and I don't add random strangers who I know nothing about. 23. Do you have any pets: No. I wanted to get a dog or a parrot when I was a little girl though, so whenever we passed our local pet store, my mom and I would go inside to look at those pretty colourful birds in the cages on sale.
24. Do you want to change your name: Definitely not, because it's really beautiful (for a reason)! I'm worried that my future husband and I would have a serious talk about which surname would stay, ha-ha! (Nah, I'm always ready to discuss our options.) 25. What did you do for your last birthday: Just stayed home with my parents, ate some special cake and enjoyed my day.. Wait, WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING!? It was another Kataang Week, for goodness' sake! I was busy participating and browsing through the quality content! 26. What time did you wake up: Today, around 2:45 pm. Just in time to see the start of the Formula 1 Austrian GP. 27.

Kataang Week (+ my birthday) in two weeks? Also, the first part of "Turf Wars" coming out soon. 29. When was the last time you saw your mom: She's sleeping in the bedroom, so an hour ago. 30. What is one thing you wish you could change in your life: If I were younger, I would've answered by listing a dozen things. But honestly, nothing, because then it wouldn't be my life. I've learned to accept things as they are and that I can only change them when I do something about it. 31. What are you listening right now: Nothing. 32. Have you ever talked to a person named Tom: I.. think.. not. 33. Something that is getting on your nerves: The state of the world, the current American President, minorities not being taken seriously (such as the LGBTQ+ community and their human rights; smaller countries and their people not being respected like the bigger ones - what Jean-Claude Juncker said when Malta was handing over the presidency to Estonia in the European Union last week), politicians provoking unnecessary xenophobia or hate towards refugees (the EKRE party in Estonia - gosh, I HATE THESE MORONS!), the political situations in many countries, how our certain neighbour is trying to restore its former glory by occupying small parts of its neighbouring countries (one by one) and we're all LETTING IT HAPPEN IN THE FRICKING 21ST CENTURY!.. Politics in general. 34. Most visited website: Ooh! I have so many: Gmail, Facebook, Neopets, YouTube, Tumblr...

I would love to read something about 13
Okay so I didn’tread this over or do any kind of editing. If this is complete garbage, I’msorry!! Also I was getting tired and I rushed the ending, so I’m sorry if itfeels like it doesn’t really wrap up and it’s just kind of over!! But, pleaseenjoy!!
Saturday morninghad always been your favourite time of the week. You were never the type ofperson who spent their Friday night partying, maybe on occasion, but for themost part you were in bed and sleeping long before midnight. You liked to startyour Saturday morning pretty early, usually before eight, with a cup of coffeeand the newspaper. You knew that people reading an actual newspaper was ararity these days, but it was one of those sacred things that you saved forSaturday.
You were halfwaythrough your cup of coffee when there was a knock at your door, and you weregenuinely surprised. It was barely 7:30, and you knew none of your friends weregoing to be awake, let alone out of bed and at your door. You pulled thestrings of your silky black robe in a knot as you made your way to the door,making sure that everything was covered before you opened it. The last personyou expected to see at your door this morning was your neighbour..
“Please hide me!”
Harry was a goodneighbour. He never played his music loud early in the morning or late atnight. You didn’t know what to say about Harry, because the two of you hadnever had a real conversation. You made small talk when you ended up in theelevator together said hello when you were unlocking your door and he waslocking his up, and he borrowed a cup of milk or sugar on occasion. You knewthat Harry was nice, or he presented himself that way, but you didn’t knowanything else about him. “I’m sorry, what?”You didn’t know Harry, but you knew what desperation looked like, and Harrylooked desperate. “Okay this is really embarrassing, but there’s kind of a girlin my apartment,” Harry admitted. He was looking over his shoulder at his door,and it was clear he was scared that the girl was going to come out of hisapartment while he was standing in the hallway. “I know that we’ve never had areal conversation, but I’m begging you, please let me into your apartment. Youcan ignore me, I’ll keep to myself, but please don’t make me go back in there.”
You wereshocked, and that was probably an understatement. The fact that he had been sohonest with you was surprising. If the tables were turned, and you were the onetrying to escape a one-night stand, you’d want Harry to let you in. You openedthe door a little more, “would you like a cup of coffee?” You had spentSaturday mornings alone for so long, and you thought the least you could do wasgive him a cup of coffee; he looked like he could really use one.
He gave you a thankful smile as he took a stepinto your apartment, and you couldn’t help but wonder how long he planned onstaying. It wasn’t like you had anything to do today, but the idea of spendinghours with someone you barely knew with no way to escape, was a little much. “Iwould absolutely love one, thank you!”
Harry came intoyour apartment, and after you shut the door, you made your way to the kitchen.You told him to take a seat as you made your way to the coffee maker, grabbinga new mug and filling it. “Do you take anything in your coffee?”
“Just a splashof milk, but if you don’t have any that’s fine, I can drink it black.”Truthfully, Harry hated black coffee, if he couldn’t have a little bit of milk,he didn’t want it at all. But this girl had let him into her apartment withoutso much as a second thought, and he wasn’t going to tell her that.
You opened yourfridge to grab the carton of milk, pouring in a little bit of milk, the sameway you liked your coffee. Until this moment, you didn’t think about the factthat you were in your pyjamas still, your hair was a mess, and you didn’t haveany makeup on your face. You didn’t have a problem with him seeing you likethis, you just felt a little bit awkward. You made your way to the table,setting the hot mug of coffee in front of Harry with a smile. “So, I have toask, what’s the deal with the girl in your apartment? Is she crazy orsomething?” You were completely joking around with him, if he didn’t want totell you anything you didn’t expect him to; you were just trying to makeconversation.
“It’s kind of along story, to be completely honest with you. I don’t want to say crazy, that’sa little bit mean, but she’s pretty close to it,” Harry chuckled. One-nightstands were a rarity for Harry, but when they happened, it was typical for thegirl to sneak out in the middle of the night. It was an unofficial rule,spending the night made things awkward, and when he woke up to see another bodyin his bed, he freaked out a little bit. “I just didn’t expect her to be therewhen I woke up! I mean, what do you think? Am I making too big a deal of this?”
You took a sipof your coffee, shrugging a little bit. “I mean, I’m going to be honest here,I’m with you on this one. It makes things way less awkward when you leave inthe middle of the night.” This was a conversation you didn’t think you’d behaving in a million years, especially with your neighbour, at 7:30 in themorning. “But I’m sure she’ll wake up in a couple of hours, see that you’regone, and rush out of there. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.”
Harry nodded,“I’m sure that you’re right, you seem pretty smart.” He didn’t seem insincere,and you couldn’t help but smile. This was crazy, you had lived next door toHarry for at least a year, how had you never had a real conversation with him?
The conversationhad come to that point where it didn’t feel like there was anything that couldbe said. You weren’t uncomfortable with Harry in your apartment, you understoodwhy he was here, and you were happy to help him out. You just didn’t know whatto say to him. How were you supposed to, the longest conversation that you hadever had was two minutes. The two of you got on the elevator together, and itstopped on three different floors on the way down, but besides that you hadnever had never conversed for very long. You didn’t mind that Harry was here,but you certainly weren’t pleased. Saturday morning was the time you set asidefor yourself. Once a week, you spent time on your own, reflecting on the eventsand how they made you feel, simply put, it was relaxing. You didn’t know how torelax when there was another person, a person who truthfully you didn’t knowthat well, sitting three feet away from you. You didn’t want to make Harryuncomfortable, so you felt the need to host, which was why there was anewspaper sitting in front of you that you hadn’t even opened. At this point,it was only 8:00, and you knew there was no chance the girl in Harry’sapartment was gone. If she was drunk enough to go home with Harry last night,she was too drunk to be awake at 8:00. “Okay, I’m not trying to be rude, I’mreally not. But do you mind if I read my paper? It’s just; I kind of have thisthing I do on Saturday mornings and-
-Oh my god, Ifeel like an idiot. I stormed in here without even considering that you mighthave something going on.” Harry looked like he sincerely apologetic. He hadn’tthought his plan out; before he knew it he was knocking on your door. “If youwant, I can go. I could just head down the street to a coffee shop or something.I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
“No, no youdon’t have to go. I just want to read my paper, so how about this. I’ll giveyou half of the paper, and then we switch when we’re finished?” You felt badlythat you said anything; you didn’t want to make him feel like he was intruding.
Harry nodded inagreement, taking the back half of the newspaper that you handed to him. Hecouldn’t remember the last time he read a newspaper, and he had to admit thatit was kind of nice. Was this where he wanted to be right now? Not really, ifhe was being honest. In an ideal world, he would still be in his bed, sleepingoff the night that he had last night. But he was here, and in this situation,it couldn’t be better. So for three hours, the two of you sat at your kitchen table,sipping on coffee, and reading the newspaper. Every once in a while, the two ofyou had a bit of a conversation about an article, or one of you got up torefill your mugs, but it was nice.
Before you knewit, it was noon. Harry had been here for four and a half hours, but it didn’tfeel nearly that long. You never thought that you would enjoy spending yourSaturday any other way than you had for years, but it turned out that Harryknocking on your door was a good thing. You had read both halves of thenewspaper, and the pot of coffee that you had brewed was long gone. “You know,I’m sure the girl in your apartment is gone by now. If she’s still there, she’sactually crazy. Waking up to see that someone left their own apartment to getaway from you should be a red flag,” you said with a laugh.
“Well, I guess Ibetter make my way back to my place then. But I just want to say thank youagain, for saving my ass this morning, and for sharing your coffee and paperwith me. I’ll admit to you, I had a pretty good time this morning.”
You were happythat Harry had a good time, because you enjoyed yourself as well. You had beensitting at this table for years alone on Saturday morning, and it made youhappy, but maybe it was time for a change? Maybe you were meant to sit herewith someone every Saturday. “I’m glad, I had a good time too! I’m not surewhat you’re doing next Saturday, but if you want, I’m going to be right here.”
Harry wasshocked at your invitation, the entire time he was here he felt like he wasinterrupting and intruding. He thought that he had barged his way into yourhome, and he disrupted your day; he didn’t think that you would ever want totalk to him again.
After oneSaturday night, and a one night stand that didn’t know when it was time for herto leave, Harry and you started spending Saturday mornings together. Saturdaymornings soon became Friday night and all day Saturday. Your friendshipblossomed, and before the two of you knew what was happening, you were spendingall of your time together. But one thing that didn’t happen anymore was Harryknocking on your door to escape a girl who overstayed her welcome in hisapartment. Now the only girl that Harry woke up beside was you, and he didn’t wantto go back to being just your friend.
