part 3 of: do you like the way the water tastes?

summary: eddie takes you for a ride, the questions burning in your gut are resolved.

You’re certain your knuckles are broken from the iron grip you have on Eddie’s waist for the past twenty minutes. 

  His idea for a little drive was going to Bridgeport. Speeding around cars minding their own business on the lazy summer Sunday afternoon. 

Wind whipped through his curls and rippled the cotton tank top he was wearing, black sunglasses perched on his Roman nose, a honey dipped setting sun reflecting off the lenses when he turned his head at a stop sign to smirk at your wind-chapped cheeks and nervous expression.  

  “You scared, pretty girl?” 

  You were. 

  But when you shook your head no, he chuckled, rubbing your knuckles with his thumb, “I got ya,” he purred, his shy smile breaking through those plump lips, “ just don’t let go of me.” 

  The feel of your skin on his rough fingers when he had secured the helmet around your head and tightened the strap under your chin— before even getting on his motorcycle— left him with a rosy dusting to his own cheeks.

  Your skin was soft and delicate, like a petal from a flower— and he’d grow an entire garden just to feel it again. 

  You were looking at him in awe, like he had hung the moon and painted the stars just for you. And the look in your eyes made his heart flutter in his chest, skipping a beat when his eyes met yours. 

  Pupils blown and struck by Cupid, he didn’t know how deep he was falling. Were you? 

  His tongue was poked out in concentration while he fiddled with the strap, connecting it and pulling it taught under your chin. 

  His stare lingered for longer than he could help, eyelashes smushing together when the heat on his cheeks was too much to handle. 

  You had never been on a motorcycle before, but you listened intently to Eddie’s calm instructions on where to put your feet and what not to do. 

  The first few miles were horrifying, you were absolutely positive that you would fall off at any minute. Your squeals rang through his ears and burned his soul, making an ache in his stomach he hadn’t felt before, and when your fingers laced together around him, his heart nearly fell out of his chest. 

  —

“Wasn’t sure what you’d like, so—got one of each.” Eddie’s arms were full with red and white paper food boats. Chicken strips, two corn dogs, a cheeseburger piled high with bacon and a fried egg, cheeseballs, a funnel cake and a plastic jug of strawberry lemonade with two straws poking out of the lid. 

  Bridgeport was having their annual festival complete with carnival rides, a crowning of their hometown king and queen and the greasiest food in Indiana. You were sitting on a red painted bench underneath the green curtains of a weeping Willow as Eddie left to grab what he referred to as “a few snacks.” 

  You looked so cute sitting on the bench in his old dio shirt waiting for him. Seeing you in his clothes had his heart pumping into overdrive, and when you lifted your face to his and smiled as he walked towards you it almost knocked him dead. 

  Before you had left his trailer, you bargained to borrow some of Eddie’s clothes instead of quickly running home to change. “Nah,” he said with a grin, “I’ve got something you can wear.” He tossed you an almost worn through black t-shirt and a pair of athletic shorts he’d had since middle school that were definitely too short for him now, but hit the swell of your thighs in a flattering way. 

  Emerging from the bathroom in his wardrobe and poorly bandaged knees, he smiled wide, toothy as can be and nearly pulled a muscle in his cheeks as he tried to hide it, not show how he was nearly cracking ribs with the way his heart was swelling for you. 

  “pick anything you want, sweetheart,” he said gesturing to the food he had laid out like a feast. He slotted his legs through the picnic table and you could hear the jingle of the chain from his hip as it rested on the wooden seat. 

  A smirk pursed his lips as your eyes studied the fried treats. Suddenly aware that maybe you didn’t like anything like this? 

  Shit. 

  His nerves stabled when your fingers plucked the brown stick end of a corn dog. His heart soared when your teeth broke through the breading and you hummed in content. 

  His fingers twisted the metal rings on his left hand, eyeing your lips when a crumb formed on them. Unconsciously licking his own like they were yours, sweeping the crumb away.

  “Good?” 

  Your lips curved into a smile as you reached for a napkin and blotted the grease from your lips, “delicious,” you mumble with the bite still between your teeth.

  “I never been to the festival before, they do this every year?” 

  Eddie snorted, and grabbed a chicken strip, dunking it into a small container of ranch, the chicken crunches and melts on his tongue as he shoves it around his mouth to answer, “yeah, haven’t been here in years, my uncle would take me as a kid.” 

  Neon lights peek through the vine-like curtain of the willows branches, a faint low hum of cheery carnival music begins, followed by the gears of the rides, squealing for oil and grease. 

  The night was calm, a light wind bringing a quiet exhaling breath of air to the humid atmosphere, as you silently chewed your corn dog. 

  Eddie’s mind was racing, he had a million and one things to say but whenever he tried to form the words he found his tongue cemented to the roof of his mouth, concrete foundations keeping it in place. 

  Lucky for him, yours wasn’t. 

  “Thank you for the food, and playing doctor… I mean, bandaging my knees.” Smooth.

  His tongue detached and he breathed a hearty laugh, one that had you giggling along, heated cheeks from embarrassment and all. 

  “Any time,” he exhaled, hoping this wasn’t the only time you’d want to share a meal with him, “figured it was better than a lollipop after being such a good patient.” 

  “I mean, I like suckers,” you tease, pointing the corn dog at him, “but this is really really good— I wish Benny still served them.” 

  “How long have you worked there?” 

  “Well..” you do the math in your head, and un-ashamedly use your fingers to count the years, “six years, I think— Gareth and I both started there at the same time—bussing tables.”

  Eddie’s hands are threaded as he leans in to listen intently at your very boring story. 

  “..but then some cool older guy started a band and needed a drummer, so he quit on me.”

  You remember the days of riding in the back of Gareth’s mom’s car when she’d drop you both off for your shift on Saturday nights, both only fourteen but still spending as much time together as you could, the innocence of childhood still on your shoulders. 

  “Sounds like this cool older guy was pretty bitchin’, wish I knew him,” the dimples in his cheeks well deep, as he plays with his rings. Waiting for you to bite the bait.

  “Nah,” you play back, scrunching your nose and picking at the corn dog, “he’s not that great— pretty mysterious, really hard to read.” 

  He chuckles and fakes offense. “Maybe there isn’t mystery behind him, maybe he gets nervous around pretty girls.” 

  Your cheeks heat and you stare at the table for a bit before meeting his gaze again, “That’s too bad,” you add, clicking your tongue, “because he was really really cute.” 

  “Cute, huh?” He says standing and grabbing all the garbage from the table and walking to the nearest trash can, he brushes the grease from his hands on his pants, “puppies are cute, sweetheart.” 

  “Yeah, he looks like a cute wittle puppy dog, just wanna pinch his cheeks, and give him treats.” 

  “Oh really?” He says standing beside you and holding his hand out to help you up.

  “Mhmm,” you say placing your hand in his, feeling the rough calluses with the pads of your fingers,  “But he never called, never kissed me, he just disappeared.” 

  You walk past him, not needing to look over your shoulder to know that he was following behind you, his long legs making up the distance in no time at all. 

  You’d trolled down the sidewalk, enjoying the sounds of the carnival and the sweet sticky sugar of cotton candy spinning. 

  When the sky inks into dark, Eddie’s fingers graze yours and he doesn’t pull away. This time he folds them between the spaces of yours. Rubbing the knuckles of your hand with his thumb, noticing that you sighed slightly. 

  He stops when the sidewalk ends, a lone street lamp flickering and nothing but the hum of lightning bugs floating gently on the breeze.

  “Would you have wanted me too?”

  You stare up at him, a cross of your eyebrows indicates your confusion and a twinkle of a street lamp glows into your eyes.

  Eddie wets his lips with a sweep of his tongue. The ring that’s been teasing you on full display. 

  “That night, when I walked you home…did you want me to kiss you?” 

  Butterflies take flight in a flurry in your stomach at the sight of his shiny lips. You almost counted out loud to three to respond even though you nearly flung yourself at him. 

  “I— I thought it was obvious.” 

He frowns, shaking his head. A nervous laugh emits from him and he looks unsure of himself.

  “I’m not good at this,” he admits, undoubtedly fighting himself, “and now?” he asks, holding your chin between his fingers and angling your face up to his, “do you want me to kiss you, sweet girl?” 

  All the breath from your lungs leaves when you nod your head, and when Eddie’s lips nestle between yours, you're certain you’re the only girl left in the world.

the basement part 2

one morning as Austin was bringing food down to the basement, he noticed something. It was quiet. Too quiet. Something was wrong. Number one was still crying, number two looked to be asleep, bear was looking at Austin longingly, and number 4… NUMBER 4! Austin ran over to see number 4 had finally passed away. It seemed like he had a heart attack in the middle of the night.

with number 4 gone, Austin had a new slot open. He prepared to head to the college at midnight and start prowling for his next victim. He showed up wearing a black hoodie and some black sweat pants. Austin started looking by the frat houses. That’s where he usually found the best ones. After about an hour of searching, Austin was ready to give up until he saw something in a bush. He moved closer to see a man had passed out and fallen into a bush. He still had a twisted tea in his hand. He had curly brown hair and a nice tan. He was skinny but not scrawny. More athletic. Austin shook with excitement as he scooped him up and carried him back home.

~

Evan awoke with a fright. He looked around to see a dingy basement with a single overhead light, a dusty concrete floor, some old shelves, and most importantly, three men that appeared to be tied to chairs. Evan tried to move but he was also tied down he screamed and begged for help. “Dude! Shut up!” The man next to him said. He looked tired and dirty. And his clothes looked a bit tight. Evan quickly realized his screams were no help, and he stopped. Soon, a strange man opened a door and rolled a large cart of food through. The man next to Evan looked scared and began to cry. The other two men seemed fine. The one on the end actually looked a little excited. “Let’s start with you today” the strange man said to Evan. He began to grab food and force feed Evan. Evan didn’t know what was going on. He thrashed and turned his head away but the strange man did not give up. He fed Evan until he felt like he was going to throw up. Evan and his bloated belly sat in a daze as he continued to feed the rest of the men in the room. Then he quickly disappeared through the door he came in.

~

Austin was excited about his new victim. He always loved seeing the first pounds start to stick. He gathered the food for his second feeding of the day and headed into the basement. His new guy was passed out from the first feeding, but the others were attentive and ready. New guy awoke and began to scream. Austin groaned and started the feeding. 3 Big Macs. He chewed them slowly and cried as he was stuffed. Next came the bacon. Piece by piece, Austin had fed him an entire pack of thick cut bacon. New guy looked awful. His face was covered in grease and tears, and he began looking sick from all the food. But Austin continued. A large chocolate shake. He had to use a funnel for this one because new guy wouldn’t use the straw. An entire strawberry Cheesecake. Austin took handfuls of cake and forcefully stuffed them into new guy’s greasy mouth. He couldn’t even chew. Growing agitated, Austin pinched new guy’s nose so he had to eat to be able to breathe. He tried to hold out for as long as possible but he couldn’t. He swallowed the handful of cake and gasped for air. This cycle continued until the cake was gone and Austin finally moved to the next person.

~

It had been a little over a week since Evan had been captured. He looked down at his tight shirt that couldn’t cover his rapidly growing stomach. It looked like he had gained at least 15 pounds. His stomach was constantly full though, so you could never tell. His distended stomach rumbled in pain from his last feeding. After the initial shock of being kidnapped had worn off, Evan noticed the smell. The basement was filled with food scraps and bodily fluids. Austin didn’t have a bathroom down here so the guys just used the bathroom as they pleased. Once a week, Austin would hose them down and clean up the floor, but the smell was always there.

for that prompt game how about

“I’m gonna be sick.” and jetko :]

For this prompt game!

(Slight warning for allusion to Zuko's canon-typical childhood in a modern setting)

There’s something about fear when it’s mixed with adrenaline mixed with the inevitable consequences being just far enough off to be able to say they aren't worth thinking about that turns it all into something exhilarating.

Being at the beach, at the boardwalk, when he’s supposed to be in school. When he’s supposed to be taking a final.

Riding there in a beat-up junker that wouldn’t even be allowed on his street, and then riding rollercoasters and the Gravitron and the Scrambler and the fucking spinning teacups he was always scolded were beneath him, were unseemly, were low brow and low class and dirty.

Screaming and drawing attention, because who’s going to tell him not to, and doing it all with a boy he isn’t even supposed to notice let alone associate with and shit, just, doing it with a boy.

And not waiting to be told what to do, not deferring to every adult, not saying sir and ma'am, and eating as much ice cream and funnel cake and corn dogs as he wants, because corn dogs are good and why has he never had one before and fuck his training diet and—

“I think I’m gonna be sick,” Zuko says, Jet barely managing to get out an “Uh,” before Zuko turns and heaves into the nearest trashcan, kind of making it, ignoring the looks from the passing people—and the voice in his head whispering that he’s a disgrace, a failure, disgusting, useless, making a scene—as he heaves again.

“Are you okay?” Jet asks from behind his shoulder, well clear of the line of fire from the sound of it, and Zuko just heaves again in answer.

Jet slurps up the last of his milkshake, straw sucking and bubbling for an obnoxiously long time, then, “Wanna go? Or like.” Another ridiculously long slurp. “Get some ginger ale or something?”

Zuko breathes heavy for a moment, clenching his abs to see if anything else is going to come out and finally glancing up, suddenly hyperaware that he’s sweaty and sticky and holding onto a trashcan, and he's been sitting on plastic seats that probably only get washed in a good rain all day, and somehow he doesn’t think ‘disheveled and disgusting’ is a look he manages to pull off quite as well as Jet does.

Corn dogs, it turns out, do not taste as good coming back up.

“Give me that,” Zuko snaps, grabbing the milkshake out of Jet’s hand and leaving the straw behind clenched between Jet’s teeth as he watches, bemused, as Zuko chugs the last of it—strawberry and mint, disgusting, of fucking course—before tossing it into the trash.

“I was going to finish that,” Jet drawls, chewing on the straw.

“After I drank from it?” Zuko challenges, shoving upright and pushing his sweaty hair back from his face.

"Hm. So," Jet says, smirking and giving Zuko a lazy once over, "Are we stopping?"

"You can stop," Zuko says, more baring his teeth than smiling and feeling a thrill in his chest as he breaks for the next coaster, as he ignores the shouts and cries as he dodges through the ground, as he rides the high of the challenge and the adrenaline and knowing he isn't supposed to be doing any of it and is doing it anyway, knowing Jet is right behind him every step of the way.

#asks and answers #ask games #pensiveabstraction #I do love the way the two of them just egg each other on in all their worst ideas #Zuko speedrunning an entire childhood worth of rule-breaking lol #Zuko #Jet #Jetko #fic writing #my writing

BABE! Will you please take one for all the southern girlies and write about josh dating a souther reader please! It doesn’t even have to be a fic I just need your thoughts!❤️

OH YEEHAW BITCH!

I think if Josh came to visit you and your home state while on tour, he'd love love love to go out and "do what the locals do."

I wanna take this man out! First things first, get my man into some cowboy boots. He's gonna wanna get something unique and I know it'd look so cute on him. Get him into some wrangler, God his ass in some wrangler jeans, I'm droolin'. Put him in a lil denim pearl snap shirt and a cowboy hat, probably straw because it's hot as hell down here.

We're getting some tex-mex and some strawberry margaritas! Chips and queso! I'm taking his ass dancing! We're going line dancing and teaching him how to two step and how to waltz. He'd be such a cute and giggly mess, staring down at your feet and trying to count his steps.

"I don't know what I'm doin-"

"No, you're great! Just let me lead!"

"But I'm the guy?"

"And you're a Yankee. I'm leading."

He just laughs, letting you take the lead, his face just lights up and his smile never fades. By the time Neon Moon rolls around, he's a pro. He'd love the way you sing along to all the words and the way your twang comes out when you talk to others who have an accent or when you sing country songs. He'll mock you lovingly,

"What'd you say?"

"Jalapeño?"

"No, you said 'Jalapeña' with an 'a'."

"Shut up."

Set up a bonfire and catch fireflies, make some smores, and listen to the crickets and frogs, cuddling next to each other on a blanket, drinking shiner beer, and looking at the stars. He'd find such beauty and serenity in the warm summer air. Taking him to a swimming hole and tubing. Day drinking and grilling out on the river with friends.

Josh would fucking love it at the rodeo oh my God. Get my man some funnel cake or frito pie and watch some bull riding? A perfect date, truly. I think Josh would love to be a cowboy honestly.

I wanna be his lil cowgirl 🥺

The One with the Pizza and the Promise

For Harringrove Week - Day 6

Prompt - The Corner Table at Surfer Boy Pizza

750 - G

***

Steve takes a deep breath as he leads Billy to the corner table at Surfer Boy Pizza, the location by the boardwalk, the restaurant, the exact table where Billy and Steve shared their first date, talking for hours, until the manager told them they had to leave because they were closing up for the night, talking over a large pepperoni pizza and a large Coke, one cup, two straws.

It had been their first date after years of pining, wishing and wanting, hoping and dreaming that the other would be brave and make the first move, until they both had broken down in a confession of mutual desire on their first night in their new home.

They were flat broke from moving across the country, but they’d scraped together enough for the pizza and few games at a boardwalk arcade, then Steve had treated Billy to funnel cake because it was his birthday, and he deserved everything Steve could give him and more. He deserved the world, but settled for fried dough topped with ice cream and strawberries, blushing as Steve fed him a bite.

It became their tradition every year after that, spending Billy’s birthday in the corner table at Surfer Boy Pizza, followed by boardwalk funnel cake, sometimes just the two of them, sometimes surrounded by friends and family who’d travelled a long way to ensure Billy felt loved.

This year it’s just the two of them at the corner table, Steve with hearts in his eyes and a ring burning a hole in his pocket, Billy mistakenly led to believe that Lucas and Max can’t make it until tomorrow, due to flight delays. In reality, they’re waiting in the arcade to give Billy his second surprise of the night, news of a baby on the way.

He and Billy sit and talk as they wait for their pizza to arrive, Steve feeling the conversation with mindless chatter to keep his mind off his upcoming task. How’s the garage? How were Billy’s eggs this morning? Did he see the cute poodle from down the street on his morning jo? How’s Gladys, the owner of the bookstore Billy frequents?

It’s a wonder that Billy hasn’t caught onto Steve’s scheme yet, or maybe he has and is just better at keeping his cool. He hopes it’s the former, as he wants nothing more to see Billy’s eyes light up with glee when he gets down on one knee.

He glances behind the counter, where their friends Argyle and Jonathan look at him expectantly, matching grins on their faces, although Steve can’t tell if it’s excitement or the weed they most likely smoked on their break that ha them in such a good mood.

He shakes his head, hoping Billy doesn’t notice. He isn’t ready yet. He has to be sure first that he won’t puke the second he starts his speech.

Finally, the pizza arrives, and out of questions to ask about Billy’s day, he decides to pop the biggest question of all instead while they wait for the pizza to cool. It just makes good sense, because it’ll be kind of hard to focus on proposing if he’s nursing a burn on the roof of his mouth.

Taking one last deep breath, Steve kneels, watching Billy’s eyes grow wide as he takes in the site before him.

“I’ll kill you if you’re just down there tying your shoelaces,” comes Billy’s threat, at the same time as Steve starts his speech. Well, this is off to a great start.

“Look,” Steve replies, wiggling his flip-flopped foot. “Not a shoelace in sight.”

With that, he pulls out the ring and restarts his speech, a spiraling whirlwind of loving words, praises and promises for a bright and happy future together.

Billy holds out his hand, his eyes shining with tears, nodding yes, yes, yes, “Of course I’ll be your forever, if you’ll be mine?”

Steve agrees and they seal their mutual promise with a kiss, before digging into the hot and cheesy dish laid out between them.

The pizza’s on the house, Argyle announces, pulling them one after the other into a congratulatory hug and Jonathan shakes their hands.

Spotting Max and Lucas and the sharing of happy news from both sides brings fresh tears and a feeling of warmth and light and happiness that Steve will never get enough of, he’s sure of it, as long as he lives.

​National Frappe Day 

Enjoy a delicious, frozen frappe, share with others, see what businesses are offering free frappes, and pay it forward for someone else to enjoy.

Frappes offer a great opportunity to get that coffeehouse feeling without having to leave home or spend a lot of money. Here’s an easy way to make a delicious drink at home in honor of Frappe Day:

Start with a cup of brewed coffee that has been allowed to cool. To that, add a cup of cold milk and two cups of ice. Blend together and then flavor in whatever way is preferred, whether using caramel sauce, mint syrup, chocolate sauce, or another delicious type of flavoring. Honey and maple syrup are two perfectly natural ways to add sweetness and flavor without a bunch of preservatives.

Making a Frappe is a fun way to enjoy a delicious treat!

History of Frappe Day

A hallmark of Greek coffee culture from the 1950s onwards, the humbly delicious frappe has earned a yearly celebration. The frappe is distinguished by being one of the few beverages improved by the use of instant coffee! (Yes, it’s shocking, but keep reading.)

Supposedly, the frappe was created by a tired Nestle sales representative at the Thessaloniki Trade Fair in 1957 who was beset by caffeine cravings. It’s often said that creativity flourishes in the face of restraint, and so it was when this beleaguered man couldn’t find access to any hot water to make his instant coffee. So he took some of his instant coffee, put it with cold water and ice, and shook his way to what would eventually become an internationally enjoyed drink.

Of course, from there, versions of the drink were modified to include cream, sugar, flavorings, or sometimes even ice cream. Nowadays, they are also often blended in a blender, but the idea is the same. No matter how it is made, Frappes are delicious!

Although it started out as an accident because the inventor couldn’t access hot water, the Frappe froth actually has a surprising amount of science behind it. Spray-dried instant coffee and its lower oil content are the key to creating long-lasting bubbles. Freeze-dried instant coffee won’t cut it. The next time someone wants to complain that they can’t get a good coffee anywhere in the country, they might just be right. Perhaps they’ll need to head over to Greece, where the Frappe is the official national coffee drink!

How to Celebrate Frappe Day

Celebrating this Frappe Day contains loads of fun and enjoyment that includes delicious coffee, ice, and sometimes even a bit of creamy sweetness. Try out these ideas for the celebration of Frappe Day:

Enjoy a Frappe Today

Hop over to a local cafe and grab an amazing and delicious Frappe. Whether in the morning to start the day, or in the afternoon as an energetic pick-me-up, an iced frappe can be appreciated just about any time of the day.

Starbucks has its signature Frappuccino on offer, which is a blended or iced version of the frappe drink, but taken to the extreme. One of these drinks is hardly like drinking a coffee at all and, instead, is more like drinking a dessert with a straw! In fact, some of them don’t even include coffee in them.

The options for flavors are virtually endless, including fun names like Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Mocha Cookie Crumble, Strawberry Funnel Cake or Matcha Green Tea Creme. No matter which flavor is chosen, it’s most likely going to be delicious.

Share a Frappe

Find someone you love (or just generally like) and gift them with an iced coffee drink on Frappe Day! Whether it’s picking one up for the person in the next cubicle at work or bringing one home to your significant other, Frappe Day is a great way to tell someone else that they are appreciated and thought of.

Get a Free (or Discounted) Coffee Drink

As with many other foodie days, Frappe Day is a time when some companies choose to celebrate by giving away free stuff! And on this day, many people can score themselves a free cup of coffee. It changes every year, but here’s a list of some of the restaurants that have offered free coffee drinks on Frappe Days (or just regular days) in the past. Check them out to see what kind of promos they have going:

McDonald’s. At one point, this most famous of fast food restaurants had a deal “buy one, get one for $.01” for those who downloaded the McCafe app around Frappe Day. At other times, they have been known to offer a free coffee after the purchase of five.

Dunkin’ Donuts. Known the world around for their coffee, Dunkin’ has a perks program that offers a free coffee for those who register with them.

Starbucks. In some locations of this coffee chain, customers can get a discount during the week of Frappe Day, especially if it falls on a Thursday! That’s because Thursday is Happy Hour Day, which means between 2pm and 7pm, coffee drinks are BOGO (buy one get one free) on select Thursday. Check the Starbucks app or local store for details.

Choose to “Pay It Forward”

MHA | The class 1A boys’ Starbucks orders and their reaction to you remembering it

A/N: bit of a bland prompt, but I’m having a fun time writing for it! I intend for this to be a series so if you like this one, stay tuned for more. Links to previous parts of the series available below.

Series will include: Tenya Ida, Shoto Todoroki, Izuku Midoriya, Hanta Sero, Denki Kaminari, Eijiro Kirishima, and Katsuki Bakugo

Eijiro Kirishima:

- Kirishima prides himself on being a manly man

- to Kirishima manliness means acting with honor, dignity, and respect

- he would do anything for his friends and intends to spend his life as a pro-hero, helping anyone and everyone who needs it

- you really admire that about him, so often manliness and masculinity is falsely equated to dominance, womanizing ways, and wanton violence

- Kirishima doesn’t subscribe to that misconception, to him being confident in your true self is the manliest thing someone could do

- drink of choice: grande strawberry funnel cake frappuccino

- Kirishima has a massive sweet tooth and enjoys that the red of the strawberry puree matches his aesthetic

- he also doesn’t care that it’s what many people would call a “girly drink,” he thinks it’s delicious

- you actually learned Kirishima’s order a few weeks back when Bakugo was berating him about it

- you were sitting in the cafeteria with Jiro, Hagakure, and Momo enjoying lunch

- Kirishima had been absent for the first half of the day, but had returned in time for lunch, walking in with a colorful, frozen concoction in his right hand

- he was approaching the table next to yours to join in with Bakugo, Sero, and Mina when Bakugo noticed what he was holding

- “Tch, what the hell is that?” he grunts

- Kirishima slid into the seat next to Mina, “it’s Starbucks,” he answered, taking a sip from his cup

- “Did you order the girliest thing on the menu? I thought you were supposed to be manly.” Bakugo scoffs

- “I am manly,” Kirishima says, still slurping through his straw

- “Whatever, pansy.”

- Kirishima finally sits his cup down, and looks across the table at Bakugo, “dude, do you have a problem with my strawberry funnel cake frappuccino? Because I think it would be less manly to deny myself its deliciousness just to fit people’s expectations, don’t you think?”

- “I don’t care what you do, spiky hair. Just let me eat my lunch in peace,” was all Bakugo said in response before Mina was begging to try a sip of Kirishima’s drink

- you didn’t realize you had retained so much of that overheard conversation until just now

- class 1A had decided to take a group shopping trip to gear up for summer training camp

- although you all meet up together at the beginning, everyone splits off to find what they need with a plan to meet at the food court in a few hours

- you and Kirishima end up shopping together because you were both looking for a duffel bag and new tennis shoes

- you enjoy spending time with him roaming about the mall

- he was so laid back and personable, it was like you had been friends your whole lives

- he helps you pick out a new pair of shoes, bringing you a fashionable but functional pair, smiling as he says he thinks they “just match your vibe!”

- he was right, they do match your style and you end up buying them and a sizable duffel bag for camp

- even though you only have one bag from your day of shopping Kirishima insists on carrying it for you, saying it is the manly thing to do

- you two finish shopping in about an hour and don’t need to meet back up with the class for at least another 90 minutes

- you head to the food court anyway, telling Kirishima you’re craving Starbucks on the way

- he stands in line with you while you wait to order

- at the counter you ask for your favorite drink and a grande strawberry funnel cake frappuccino

- Kirishima’s face lights up in a smile when he hears you, throwing a muscular arm over your shoulder and pulling you closer to him

- “Hey! You know my order. Thanks Y/N!”

- you blush slightly at the sudden closeness, stuttering out a “you’re welcome.”

- when the barista sets your drinks on the counter she sets the strawberry frappuccino closer to you and puts your drink in front of Kirishima

- he only laughs and he reaches in front of you to grab his, “this happens when I come with Mina too.”

- you take your drink and find a table to sit at while you wait for the rest of your classmates to finish their shopping

- you swap theories on what they’ll have you all doing at training camp and talk about what you’re looking forward to the most

- just before more of your classmates show up Kirishima looks at you with a genuine smile

- “What?” you ask, the blush from earlier creeping onto your cheeks once more

- “Nothing,” he answers, “I just had a lot of fun with you today. We should hang out together more.”

- “I’d like that,” you nod, smile spreading wide at the boy in front of you

hiiii i finally finished a wip ✨

Bam woke up with a start. As it always did on Friday mornings, his alarm clock went off at exactly 4:45 AM, loud and annoying enough that he wasn’t so inclined to go back to sleep.

He got up with a groan, crossing the room to turn it off. He both cursed and was grateful to Hwaryun for telling him to put it on the other side of the room so he would be forced to wake up faster. Sure, it worked, but Bam was very much not a morning person and grieved the loss of sleep. He’s just glad the walls were thick enough that the blaring didn’t wake Wangnan up.

However, there was a reason he made himself get up so early on Fridays: he had work to do.

---

The bell above the door jingled as the first customer of the day walked in, yawning as he did. Aguero didn’t know much about him, but he did know that the man was cute (adorable, some might say) and alternated between sugary sweet drinks and the strongest coffee they had to offer, depending on what day it was. Today was Friday, which meant today’s order would be as caffeinated as possible.

Aguero gave the man a sympathetic smile as he approached the counter. “Early morning again? Same as usual?”

The man nodded. “A large quadruple shot mocha, iced,” he rattled off tiredly, rubbing leftover sleep from the corner of an eye.

Aguero entered his order into the register, accepting the man’s payment with a smile and making his drink, as he always did on Friday mornings at approximately 5:07. He thought, as he always did on Friday mornings at approximately 5:07, I’m gonna do it this time.

However, as soon as he turned around to retrieve the sharpie he intended to use to write his number on the cup (cliche, but effective), the man caught his eye, giving him a sleepy smile, and Aguero’s heart skipped a beat. So instead of going through with his meticulously laid out plan, he just smiled back and pulled a stack of lids out from under the register, putting them in their designated spot on the counter as the coffee was brewing, mentally cursing himself all the while. Just as he’d done for the past seven Friday mornings.

Technically, he was supposed to ask the man’s name to write on the cup, but the first time he had come in he was the only other person in the shop so Aguero hadn’t really felt the need to do so, and he was in too deep to break the habit now. It’s been almost two months and he can go on until he gave the man his number, dammit.

Once the drink was ready, Aguero handed it to the man, whose golden eyes crinkled as he smiled another one of those warm smiles that made Aguero’s heart threaten to pound right out of his chest. “Enjoy, and have a nice day,” Aguero managed to say in a calm, normal, not strangled or high-pitched voice.

“You too,” the man rumbled before turning and walking out the door, taking a sip as he left.

Aguero braced himself on the counter once he was gone, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. Dammit, he thought. Next time for sure. Just as he had thought to himself for the past seven Friday mornings.

---

His coffee wasn’t as sweet as he usually liked it, but it woke him right the hell up, so Bam figured it was a fair trade.

Luckily, Bam was the only person aside from the driver on the city bus at the early hour of 5:23, so he didn’t have to worry about getting weird looks from other people for being up so early, visibly being a college student and all. Instead, he got to relax with his coffee, counting the stops in his head as he gazed out the window.

At one red light, Bam was met by the sight of a sprawling night sky spray painted on the side of a building, blues and purples and black swirling together and shot through with white streaks. He smiled, recalling the morning he had done that particular piece- it had been bracingly cold, but it was worth it, seeing his handiwork turn out so beautifully.

All too soon, the bus lurched back into motion, and the mural was left behind.

---

Bam got off the bus a few stops later, looking around for a good spot as he readjusted his satchel.

He was downtown, it seemed, with its brick buildings and curio shops and artisan restaurants galore. This was the perfect place.

He started wandering around under the guise of window shopping, though it wasn’t too long until he found a relatively clean alley to duck into. After checking to make sure the coast was clear, he pulled out a can of spray paint from his bag and started tagging.

He lost himself in his art, recalling the sketch he had designed in his sketchbook the previous night; he watched how the cyan faded into cerulean, cerulean faded into black, and black seemingly melted into the brick wall right before his eyes, just as he had envisioned. It looked damn good, he had to admit.

This particular night sky spanned half the wall, depicting a galaxy as viewed through a copse of trees, lines as sharp as Bam could make them forming their silhouettes. He stepped back for a moment to admire his work once he was done, breathing in the crisp morning air that was shot through with the chemical smell of the paint, before pulling out a can of bright red. In the bottom right corner, he left his signature: the letters JVG with sharp angles and a thin kite shape next to it.

He left before the paint stopped dripping, cans safely tucked away in the plastic-lined pocket in his bag, and checked the time. It was just after 8, which gave him enough time to get back to campus in time for his first class of the day, which was unfortunately at 9:30. It was a good thing he woke up early.

---

Bam slid into his seat moments before the professor walked in, thanking his lucky stars as he did. Beside him, his best friend Hwaryun raised a delicate eyebrow. “Almost late again, are we?”

Bam huffed, setting his bag on the floor next to him. “Whatever, miss half-an-hour-early. Missed you.” He leaned over to kiss her cheek.

If she saw the speckles of paint on his forearms when he pulled his sketchbook out, she wisely didn’t say anything.

---

It was Tuesday afternoon, just after peak hours, and the coffeeshop was painfully boring.

Aguero flicked yet another straw wrapper at his coworker, smirking as it hit its target-- the back of Hatz’s head. The shorter man flinched and turned around, glaring daggers at Aguero. He simply waved a few fingers, a mockery of a greeting.

“You better stop that, or I swear--” Hatz threatened, only to be cut off by the merry sound of the bell above the door chiming.

They both turned to look, and Aguero’s heart jumped into his throat.

The man came in--the one with chestnut-colored hair and honey eyes and the cutest smile when he’s tired from waking up so early--accompanied by a woman with long, bright red hair. Aguero distantly wondered if she dyed it.

The man brightened up when he caught sight of Aguero, pausing in his conversation to wave and shoot him a smile that rivalled the sun.

“Oi, quit staring and take their orders,” came from behind him.

Aguero shot back a low “piss off, I’m working on it,” before positioning himself in front of the register. “Hi there, I can take your orders when you’re ready.”

The woman observed him, crimson eye surveying him critically, before she gave a coy smile. “I’ll take a medium green tea, and a large strawberry pineapple coconut milk latte.”

He nodded, writing on cups what was to fill them before passing them off to Hatz. “That’ll be right out. And you?” Aguero asked, turning his gaze to the man he totally isn’t crushing on.

“I’ve been wanting to try that funnel cake frap,” he said, leaning over the counter conspiratorially. “Is it any good?”

Aguero leaned towards him, playing along. “If you get it with heavy cream instead of coffee, it’s fantastic.”

The man nodded decisively. “Then I’ll take a medium, extra whip and extra strawberry, if possible.”

Aguero would put all the freeze dried strawberries in the world into this man’s drink if he asked. Instead, he just gave a smile and pulled out another cup to mark.

Once the drinks were paid for and Hatz was busying himself, the redhead came back up to the counter and said in a low, husky voice, “you’re in Ehwa’s study group, aren’t you?”

He blinked. “How did you know?”

She just gave him another one of those knowing smiles. “I’ll be bringing Bam by for a study session soon. Don’t miss it.”

Before he could say anything, she was sashaying her way back over to the man--Bam, he guessed--and sitting down just in time for the frap to be called out.

A study session, huh? He idly thought as he started to restock cups. Seems innocuous enough.

In a world overrun by zombies, you’d think everyone was a goner, but the reality is much different. A steady diet of brains lets a zombie exist as a fully functioning human. Just ignore the part where they’re technically dead… In fact, these days, the amount of zombies outweigh the humans. A lot jump at the chance to be turned. Beg for it.

Kim Seokjin controls the underground of Seoul. No one would dare cross him. That’s how most of the world goes these days. You wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of a zombie now, would you? However, you don’t quite see it like that. Spending most nights dancing at the club he owns, you catch his eye. It’s never the wrong side if you’re underneath him, right…?

-Yes! Also this is a modern au so I can include the fun little carnival rides and that theyre just beginning the relationship! I see you have a thing for the archers hehe<3. 

Claude von Riegen

Oh for sure he asked you there as a first date option. Its cute and sure is a classic. He even offers to drive you there in his little car, either way, you couldn’t help but accept to go.

The aim games like when you shoot water in this specefic area or the rifle shooting games? He is an absolute GOD at them. He wins you quite a bit of stuffed animals- of course a few for himself too. Can give it to his pet as a toys!

Also, funnel cakes. You KNOW you guys have to get funnel cakes there, powdered sugar and everything. He even offers to pay, he’s by now begging for at least a bit of one. Trust me, well worth it. It tasted soooo good. 

By the time the sun is setting, Claude wants to do that classic ferris wheel thing. So he drops the stuffed animals and prize winnings off at the car before dragging you onto the ride... All goes according to plan you know. You guys both get to the top and- of course he wraps an arm around you and- well. Thats it. He didn’t want to make you uncomfortable.

Though by the end, you could tell he wanted to do it. You give him a kiss on the cheek after the ride. His face was a light strawberry pink- rather cute. Though, you guys decided to call it a day. It was amazing.

Ashe Ubert:

This was something YOU initiated in the end. You asked him out after a stressful week of doing a lot of work- you thought you could both use a brreak. You could tell he was excited himself! You both live near so you both walked there together.

Once again, this man’s aim was on point- but he wasn’t very confident at first. You had to hype him up. He played a few rounds and ended up winning two ginormous stuffed animals. One for you, one for him. You accepted it with a smile on your face.

Ashe suggested you guys do rides first, although he was a bit skittish of them. He was a little nervous to go on anything super fast, so you always went slow paced. The ferris wheel and a few others. In the end, he really had a lot of fun.

He seemed to have you sit down and wait for him. You didn’t know what he was doing but, when he came back with a shake to share. You could see the hint of pink on his face against his pale skin. He sat it down, taking out a second straw popping it in... Both of you stared at each other a lot of the time.

By the end, you had actually managed to convince him to stay the night for a fun sleep over(Nothing Sexual please dont). Well... it was more you had talked about it but had managed to fall asleep against him when at the bench. IT was kinda cute, he took you home and took his place on the couch. What a good night

BOYS GO TO THE THEME PARK

Deku:

The one to bring the sunscreen and healthy snacks

Gets super nervous about going on larger rides

The kid that gets in line and then half way through says they have to ‘go to the bathroom’ and then never gets back in line

The one large roller coaster he did go on was called the “Brain Scambler” and he was a sweaty nervous mess by just sitting down in the coaster’s seat. After the ride was over he had to sit in the shade while his eyes spun in circles

But the SECOND this boi sees an All Might plushie prize at one of the game stands...Its over for you bitches  

He will play ALL THE GAMES to win all the All Might merch

And then goes to the gift shop after to buy more

Drinks a giant slushie out of an All Might cup and straw  

Bakugou:

Took Kirishima 3 days to convince him to come

Still took him an extra hour that morning to pull his ass out of bed to go

“I DON’T WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH YOU STUPID NERDS”

Brings NOTHING with him except his attitude and a pair of sunglasses

Truth be told, he’s never been to a theme park before this, so the first roller coaster he went on sent a jolt of adrenaline through his body and he became hooked

He HAD to go on every ride and didn’t give a shit how long the line was  

Yells at anyone that tries to cut the line or get ahead of him. Doesn’t matter who it is; grandma, mothers, children, you name it.

“HURRY UP WEIRD HAIR WE’RE GOING ON THIS ONE NOW” “But Bakugou… we’ve been riding rides all day, can’t we take a bre-” “YOU WANNA BE A DAMN SISSY LIKE DEKU, MAN UP AND GET YOUR RED JAGGEDY LOOKING ASS IN LINE”

Nobody likes to sit beside him because he screams “DIE” everytime they go down a peak or into a tunnel. His hands also get really sweaty and he can’t help but shoot off some explosions into the air

Kirishima:  

The theme park idea was his

Also a huge fan of roller coasters and concession food

Baku-squad rolls around and rides all the rides all day long, you already know

Tries to sit front row on every ride

Hates waiting in lines

Wears a large sun hat at first ‘cause he's a GIANT MANLY DORK but Bakugou swats it off him muttering something about him looking like an idiot

Is the first person to make the said mistake of sitting next to bakugou on a roller coaster and nearly gets the left side of his face blown off

Like I said before, he’s a sucker for the food at theme parks, I’m taking, he’s running to every funnel cake, hot dog, ice cream, and slushie stand he can see to gobble down some sugary, deep fried goodness  

Iida:  

Makes everyone stand in a line to walk through the ticket puncher

Brings a backpack full of water bottles  

Isn’t allowed to bring them inside the park

“But sir, it is highly important that we, as students and young adults, remain hydrated in this summer heat and during our peak adrenaline rushes. It would be very unprofessional of me as ClAsS rEp to not provide my fellow students with hydration”

Has to leave his backpack and all the water bottles with the security guard until the end of the day

Is screaming at everyone about how dangerous all the roller coasters are

“We still need to maintain a dignified reputation as UA students even here so th- BAKUGOU LET GO OF THAT LITTLE BOY IN LINE”

Stays and chats with Deku and Todoroki on the sidelines while they wait for their friends to finish riding a coaster  

Todoroki:

When asked by Deku, Uraraka, and Iida if he wanted to come to the park, he simply nodded and gave them a small smile

Not his first time being to a theme park, as his father would always have to drag him and his siblings somewhere once a year to do ‘family bonding’ (really it was just so he could show off in different cities and his mom could get away from their house)

Buys All Might merch with Deku and after watching him play a coule games, joined him as well

Everyone took advantage of his left side to cool down occasionally from the blistering summer heat. He didn’t mind that much after a while and often felt helpful  

Tried his first funnel cake with Deku. He was skeptical at first, as he couldn’t understand why anyone would want to eat a large plate of deep fried dough covered in sugar and strawberries, but after tasting it, he understood and silently enjoyed it

Him and Deku got matching All Might keychains for their school bags  

Kaminari:

The one that takes all the pictures

Half of them are selfies

Some of them are of girls he spots at the park

Runs to different rides with the Baku-squad and always points out the next ride they should go on

Low-key shits his pants on the biggest ride there  

Mina knows  

Puked after their 10th roller coaster  

Still ate 3 hot dogs with Kirishima  

Tries to win each of the 1-A girls a stuffed animal at the game stands

[taesthetes]

hi! it's time to mention some mutuals you love!! for 🌸spring 🌞summer 🍁autumn and ❄winter mention one or more mutual you associate with that season

adfkjhlsk omg okay i hope i don’t forget anyone, but here we gooo

@kthartics – an gets the entire year because she put up with me for four years now, so one year for each season!! i still can’t believe we started talking on taeyeon and yoongi’s birthday out of all the 365 ¼ days in a year, but anyway, you’re stuck with me forever so you get all four seasons. love you, pablo, mean ho, side ho(e)bi, euijin lover

🌸 spring ;

@rosaetae – min my love i miss talking to her so she reminds me of the bts’s spring day lyrics as well as one of my favorite flowers: the morning glory / moonflower because it’s gorgeous and it blooms at night and it’s always worth staying up to see :’)

@yoongihime – sassi, another favorite flower goddess of mine, she’s literally so pretty and talented i just ??? she reminds me of picture perfect polaroids, cherry blossom trees, abstract water color paintings, and literally every other aesthetic instagram thing.

@lufancy – honestly i just associate her with luhan forever my exo bias whose bday is coming up (and this is around the same time I got into exo) and they’re both very very stunning people who i am literally in awe of all the time, and this is the same way i feel about flowers, especially sunset roses, and those roses are finally blooming in my front yard!!! so she reminds me of sunset roses and nostalgia and first love.

🌞 summer ;

@vantae – because talking to betsy makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. she reminds me of drinking fizzy strawberry lemonade through fun bendy straws and sticky cherry popsicles on a hot day and funnel cakes at the fair. and she also reminds me of summer love where regardless of the shortness of time, it is always worth it because of the person you spent the time with. oh, and we will have an amusement park date someday which is ideal for summer!!

@milknotes – rochelle!!! my favorite tae bae unstan, she’s currently spending time in a country with hot weather, so i’m immediately thinking of summer. also, she’s very hot, too. just facts™. but she also reminds me of days by the pool, eating refrigerated watermelon slices, and spying on the cute lifeguards (aka jungkook for her).

@kingdomtae – this is partially because of red summer, which is the rv album ave used to introduce me to rv and i was a goner after that. but also because she reminds me of my summer vacations, which equal trips to europe and trying every single pastry shop from italy to france to greece and sipping on a different bottle of good wine every dinner.

🍁 autumn ;

@cheelchan – because cheel reminds me of comfort and warmth, like wearing wooly coats and beanies and scarves while sipping on warm caramel macchiatos with whipped cream, and walking down streets lined with trees that are shedding its multicolor leaves.

@syubits – because elfie, jimin’s baby angel, lover of samurai love ballad party, reminds me of the excitement of starting a new school year. she reminds me of the smell of new books, the excitement of using brand new pens, and lined paper soon to be filled with new knowledge.

@1rapmon – because del and the love of her life’s birthdays are both in autumn where i live, and she reminds me of meeting new people and the thrilling feeling of making a new best friend with the girl who sits next to you in philosophy. she reminds me of the butterflies that comes with a new beginning, a fresh slate, a start of a new chapter.

❄ winter ;

@jimlingss – because we started talking during this season, plus our mutual love for winter fashion is a sign. she reminds me of those days when the rain pitter patters on the roof above and you just lie in bed, wrapped in a blanket burrito, surrounded by cute plushies and reading a good book that you just can’t seem to put down.

@minigguk – because i associate my favorite season with one of my favoritest people!!! winter also marks the season where great uncle mel dragged me further down into nct and seventeen and monsta x. she reminds me of leaving mark for three other dudes sitting in front of a fireplace wrapped in warm blankets and holding holiday themed mugs filled with hot chocolate and tiny marshmallows.

@kidguk – she just screams winter to me for some reason?? maybe it’s because she reminds me of disloyalty the fun festivities that come every time at the end of the year, like stringing up multicolored, blinking lights, baking cookies, decorating a tree, wearing ugly sweaters, spending time with family, and putting out treats and milk for santa the night before christmas.

Paintbox Soapworks 2020 Summer Limited Editions

I always look forward to Paintbox Soapworks’ interesting and inspired collections, and I’ve been itching for some summery scents to complement the sweltering weather that we’ve been having here since May, so I was very excited when Hayley released her summer goodies. I love Paintbox Soapworks’ soaps--especially as hand soaps! They’re soft and gentle on the skin, and also hold their shape well in the soap dish. Good stuff! As always, the scents are expertly blended and really lovely. 

Journey in Satchidananda

Scent description:  The deep drone of sandalwood, patchouli, & champaca sprinkled with rose & neroli waters & clarifying geranium leaf

This scent is both heady and clean, familiar (nag champa-esque) and unique. It’s the love child of a metaphysical shop and a garden. Needless to say, I’m in love. It’s expertly blended--I get equal parts smooth sandalwood, heady champaca, refreshing rose and orange blossom water, and crisp, clean geranium leaf. A beautifully scented soap!

Calling the Storm

Scent description:  Sun scorched weeds & hot dust, fields of barley rippling in the wind, the sharp tang of ozone, & the distant rumble of thunder

This absolutely smells like a field of dry grain under a ripening thunderstorm. The grain smells a bit hoppy and bitter, and the ozone is cool and clean, promising temporary cooler temperatures and respite from the heat. An atypical atmospheric scent for summertime.

Gossamer

Scent description:  A languid pool of cool bath water strewn with cottage garden flowers: carnation, rose, hyssop, alyssum, & violet

This is a simple and yet complex blend that is incredibly cooling and calming. It does smell like a cool pool of water full of fresh, clean flowers. I smell the clean rose, the delicate alyssum, and a sprig of green hyssop.

Gooseberry Beach

Scent description:  Balmy salt water, sea kelp & spirulina algae, crisp bamboo & a trace of coolness from wet, dark sand

This soap is so pretty! The design looks like the sand meeting the sea on a temperate beach. I could look at it forever. The scent is equally lovely, like a spa on a temperate seashore resort. It’s fresh, briny, and elegant.

Pick-a-Duck

Scent description:  Riotously sweet carnival treats of sticky strawberry taffy, hot sugared donuts, Cracker Jack, & a swirl of smoke from darkened tents

This is a scent that I did not expect to love so much. It sounds like a sugar bomb--and there is for sure a lot of sweet, fried, carnival dough like funnel cakes, and handfuls of caramel popcorn--but it’s all kept in check by the puff of mellow incense and also by the twist of creamy, sticky, pink strawberry. This is perhaps my favorite scent from the whole collection. I’ve got a real thing for sweet treats + incense, and also this scent is just so very happy! It’s carefree and upbeat, like children at a carnival, and I can feel the knots in my stomach ease as I smell it. <3

Fuzzy Scrumpit

Scent description:  Bushels of overripe peaches & apricots, a squirt of guava juice & rooibos tea, & vintage flannel shirts drying in the sun

Mmmm yes. Soft, warm, ripe peach, sweetened and made tropical by the slash of bright red guava, and mellowed a bit by a glass of fruity tea. This is a lovely fruity summertime fragrance that is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Sleepy Lagoon

Scent description:  A soporific, sun-dappled blend of crushed pineapple, honeyed chamomile, hops, swamp milkweed & damp grass

Oh wow. This is like drinking a pineapple-based cocktail on the porch in the middle of summer. The pineapple note is gorgeous--rich and tangy, just like the real thing. Sleepy Lagoon is both fruity and clean, and surprisingly nostalgic. Another beautiful, inspired blend!

Hold Fast!

Scent description:  A South Seas blend of fresh coconut milk, sweet spices, a scattering of coffee beans & tea leaves, & buttery smooth, weather worn mahogany

Ooh yes. This is distinctly a summery, tropical blend, but it’s a bit atypical and offbeat! It’s unexpected and I love it. It’s primarily a rich, buttery, and creamy coconut milk blend. The coffee beans are rich and fragrant, and the tea leaves, mahogany, and spices combine to make a scent that’s akin to drinking a milky tropical beverage through a wooden straw.
