Cozy Valentine

Joaquin Torres x Reader

Plot: Valentine's Day doesn't have to be over the top. Sometimes, all you need is simply good company and great food.

Genre: PG-13, Fluff

A/N: A little slow but Happy Valentine's Day (regardless of relationship status!) because everyone deserves that extra love!❤️ Thanks for always showing my stories love and I apologize that I haven't been that active.

Trope: Deep Friendship. I couldn’t choose one from that section because I think it’ll be great if readers interpret it their own way! Thanks @the-slumberparty for the opportunity again!

❤️💜🩷🩵💛💚

"Thank you!" The last library patron calls out and you wave back gratefully.

You shelve back the remaining books and made a sweep around the premises to make sure that there was nothing left behind before calling it a day.

The lights are switched off and you step out into the open, the statue lighting up the path to the bus stop. The last group of students huddle under the shelter and you can't help but to notice a few couples cozing up with each other as the rain slowed down into a drizzle, giving a cool breeze to the evening.

You can't wait to get back home, get into your jammies and watch Princess and the Frog with Barbecue chips. Someone should have warned you that holding a part-time job and job hunting was much harder than it sounds.

"There you are!"

You see Joaquin inside his jeep that is parked at the bus stop. His greeting has clearly attracted attention as students unbashedly stare at you. Joaquin seems the least bothered as he chuckles watching you make a run for the jeep.

"Drive! You can't stop here or else you'll get honked by the bus!" You scolded playfully as the jeep takes off.

"Hello to you, Miss Bossy," Joaquin laughs. "Hungry?"

Before you can respond, a loud growl emits from your stomach and you go positively tomato. "Don't say a word." You threaten as Joaquin raises a hand in surrender.

"Your choice mi lady."

"Ramen."

Joaquin drives you to a row of shophouses near the university library you work at. The smell of meat and broth wafting through the shop as the staff guides you to your table almost had you drooling for miles. The service was first class as the bowl of noodles came out just minutes later after your orders.

It had been a tough couple of months for you, but being with Joaquin somehow made your stress magically disappear. You didn't have to put a mask, or be mindful of your mannerisms. You could be… you. Suppers with Joaquin became a regular schedule and the situation you had to deal with became less scary.

The laughter went deep into the night and Joaquin drives you back, Ed Sheeran playing gently on the radio. The jeep rolls to a stop as you reach your apartment.

"Wait." He stops you from leaving the jeep and stretches his arm to the back to retrieve a white paper bag. "This is for you. Enjoy your movie."

You look into the paper bag and see a blueberry cake neatly presented in a box along with a rose.

"Thank you," you lean forward to give him a hug. "Thank you." You feel stupid for repeating your thanks but that was exactly how you were feeling. Joaquin made today a little less lonely. He made your fight a little less lonely. You will yourself not to cry and Joaquin smiles at you sadly.

He makes sure you've safely reached your apartment before leaving. Everyone is away on their trips and you have the whole apartment to yourself. Maybe you'll use the big screen TV instead of watching the film from your phone. You wash up and prep the movie. You put the bag of chips that you laid out earlier before leaving for work back into the basket and plate the blueberry cake.

You're all set in your baggy shirt, the movie starts as Tiana works towards her dreams, the cake tastes particularly sweet today and now that you've noticed… the rose seems brighter in the dark.

You don't know why, but it comforts you.

things he wished he'd done ⟡ psh

syn three things sunghoon wished he had done more often & one thing he ended up doing instead

wc 640 && trope idol! ex bf hoon x non idol! fmr mlist

note 🗒️ ; my apology for ditching u guys 2 days straight 😢😢 i'll be back on that grind Again Tmr 😂😂🫵 also gc saw it first yupp 💪💪

saying "i love you" more often

you understood sunghoon had a hard time both expressing and showing his feelings, so it wasn't surprising when he rarely told you the infamous "L" word. you didn't mind, though. sunghoon showed his love for you through other things like giving you gifts and telling you how gorgeous you looked. the only times he would say the three words is when you two would argue and when he felt like you were slipping through his fingers. you didn't find this intoxicating, as you knew that he loved you deep down, but you did wish he would tell you more often.

sunghoon felt the same. he wanted to tell you he loves you in multiple instances — but he could never get the words right. he really did love you. he believed that in every universe you two were meant to be and he wanted you to know that. so so badly. it didnt matter what the circumstances were in the other timeline — he just knew he loved you. and as long as you were there on his side, he would be okay.

spending more time with you

sunghoon struggled balancing out his busy schedule and you. of course, he had his days off where he spent the day with you, but majority of the time he was tired and wanted to stay home. you weren't in the scene nor did you plan to be, but you still understood that your boyfriend was a busy man. from concerts, tours, award shows and being an mc at music bank — he was bound to be tired at the end of the day. he was never home with you. of course, you did facetime daily but there was still this huge block between you two.

it wasn't that you didn't support his decision of being an idol, but it was clear that this relationship was bound to end due to his busy life — if even you didn't want it to.

communicating with you

even in the smallest inconveniences for your relationship, you wanted him to communicate. it was always number one priority on both ends to initiate communication. fortunately, there wasn't many problems in your relationship — until he started closing himself. it was completely out of the blue. from the dry replies and ignoring you when you came over to the dorms — it was obvious something was up.

you asked the guys what was wrong with him and they didn't seem to know either. you thought that maybe it was just stress from the upcoming tour. you gave him his space, hoping he would eventually tell you — but he never did.

the one thing he ended up doing — pushing you away

you ended up finding that many so called fans started saying that you were the reason he lost his spark. watching sunghoon's en-logs and seeing him the background of episodes acting weirder than usual — fans were getting suspicious. did something happen between you two? did you guys breakup? now, it wasn't any of their business, but some fans didn't understand that. when sunghoon started seeing all the tweets and sour posts about you, he was angered.

sunghoon wanted to tell everyone that it was all wrong, that you weren't the one who made him loose his spark — it was them. the media. the pressure. that you were in fact the one who made him so joyful. but he didn't. he couldn't. the only thing he could do was to hope that you didn't check any of your social medias. without knowing it, he distanced himself until you both couldn't take it anymore. one thing led to the other and your relationship with the man who was supposed to be your future husband was gone. three words, eleven letters.

A Subtle College Life in SPUP

Hey there! It's me again😁 the most handsome gentleman in the Psychology Department😉. It's been a long time since I posted here, I have been busy living my life lately. Today, in this sacred 21st century thingy called blog, I am going to be talking about what it is like to be a Paulinian college student🤩. This will take a long time, so if you are interested, get yourself a cup of hot coffee - or tea, whatever you prefer- sit back, relax, and join me as we go on a journey of a Paulinian student's life.

Are you ready? All righty then, let's go!

St. Paul University Philippines, a school known for their magnificent infrastructures, Christ-centeredness, aesthetic gardens, and of course, slippery tiles😂. Too bad my college journey did not start there. Nope. It was pandemic back then so my college journey started in an app. A lot of grown-ups would think, "Oh that's great, your college life would be easy since it will all be done online for a while. You'll be at home, you don't have to go outside, you won't be spending money, you kids should get through this with ease!"

Yeah, right😐.

I guess when it comes to learning and academics, some things will just not escape you. And those are hardships, struggles...and math. Seriously, I thought this course won't have any math subjects LOL. But anyway, now that we are growing up, life won't get easier from there. Even though it was flexible learning, we still get to deal with too many house chores, too many requirements, deadlines, quizzes, and who said we won't be spending any money?🙄

Nevertheless, all of this hardships and conflicts have shaped me into the best of who I am. Truth is, I was a slacker at the beginning, but because of the pressure, I got up my feet and started working harder than before. And I am soooo thankful for choosing to be a better student.

During my first year, I was very shy about making new friends. But I'm glad that my friends are wise, hard-workers, logical thinkers, and full of good influence. Well, kind of🙊. LOL Now that face-to- face class is finally back, I became closer to them than online.

Speaking of face-to-face, during the first days of third year, one of my classmates told me "You know, you look so much thinner online. You're actually chubbier in person." And here is how I reacted:

Well, it's true, I will admit it. I actually got too carried away with my laziness and eating too much that I gained so much fat. I got my interest back on weightlifting at the beginning of year of 2022. My progress was actually better than before. I can lift heavier weights now, my physique is getting toned, and even though my body weight was actually getting heavy (it's because of the muscles😎) my clothes are starting to fit better.

The issue was, because my top priority was my academics, I barely even have time to do a set of push ups. And with that, I adjusted my priorities. At first, I must finish all of my academic related requirements that must be done. And when I finally have a free time, only then will I go back to lifting heavy weights. And since then, with my diet on track of course, the balance between my favorite hobby and my academics are doing very well.

That's one of the life changing lesson that I have learned and will forever apply it till my last breath. Know what you want and what you need, set your priorities straight, and just flipping do it. You are probably thinking, "Oh wow, Robby, you prioritize your study and you go to the gym? That is s alpha of you😍". I don't really like that term to be labelled at me😂. An alpha is more of dominant type of person, the one who has the ability to lead and influence people.

Throughout my college life, I have become a leader of a group more than once. And the first time I ever became a leader, I was a hot head. Like if one of my groupmates won't do their work on time I would rant the heck out of them in our own group chat. 😂

But hey, that was back then, now I actually learn to become better with leading and influence people. When it comes to being a leader, logical thinking comes first, empathy comes second, emotions come last in silence. In other words, be stoic.

A lot of unexpected conflicts will come, especially when a lot of responsibilities are passed on to you. And no matter what, we must learn to endure and cope our emotions in silence, and never let them affect the way you think and the way you act. So always be logical with the way you think. Speaking of that, the best thing about college life is that my mindset have been shifted. Almost as if my brain was callused. The thing is, whenever I feel anxious or afraid of something, I face it. One of my oldest enemies is my anxiety. Whenever I feel like butterflies are going crazy in my stomach, I took a deep breath and just go. That is why I joined and volunteer whenever I get a chance to do so, such as performing along with the mob dancers, singing in a chorale, and speaking in front of a class.

These are some of the lessons that I have learned living as a college student in St. Paul University Philippines. If I could go back in time to meet my younger self who said "I can't wait to be a college student, it must be exciting", I'd go back and slap him on the face. LOL

All jokes aside, I hope that my sharing have entertained you, and I also hope that you learn something valuable because every thought that I have said, every lessons, are all based on my experience as a college student.

With that, thank you so much for your time and have a great weekend💖

PEACE✌

Can I say something that's on my mind since yesterday? I know many people won't share the same thought as me but I can't help it for a whole day now. This thing is a big mess, it always was but now it went to an extent where the law is involved and I just think that yes, she is what she is. A narcissist and egocentric bitch who loves attention but she's STILL a mother. A neglecting one but still. Would she REALLY risk to lose the custody of her kids for a stunt? I'm on my weak moment I guess because I can't wrap my head around this thing. I can't see how she would risk losing her kids for a STUNT. It would be repulsive to do it for a real relationship but at least it would be a relationship. You know what mean? I have these thoughts since yesterday that this fucking relationship might be real in the end, and it makes me sick because SHE is sick. A literal red flag. And if Harry is realy with her then...I don't even want to say it. Don't come at me please, it's just so crazy to me that a mother would risk her kids for something fake. For a year and a half now it was just her doing her stupid thing but now is more serious than ever. It's the custody of her kids!! And for what?? All for a fake thing?? It makes me question things you know? And i question Harry as well. I know people will be upset with me but I just wanted to share my thoughts because they worry me. I always thought the highest of him but this?? I feel uneasy. Idk😔

P.s I'm so sorry this came out so long😩

You can always share your thoughts, don't stop speaking your mind just because it's controversial and people don't like it!

This is going to be a long one... bare with me 😂

Now, I'm gonna answer to this in the best way that I can. Fisrt of all, I'm not a mother. So people can use that against me, it's fine. I have my sister, who is a part of my life on a daily basis (my best friend, to be honest) that has two kids with the same age as Olivia's kids. So all though I'm not a mother, I live motherhood really closely through her but also through the way I feel for her kids. They are my life, above everything! So I see the struggles that my sister has. She doesn't sleep, she is always running, she spends all her money in her kids, she cries often because she is overwhelmed, because she doesn't feel pretty, because she doesn't have time for herself. BUT, DESPITE THAT, her priorities are always them. She complains, but she wouldn't change it. She has the prettiest love story with my brother-in-law (sobs in hopeless romantic) and I still hear her say to him quite often "First, my kids, then you. You are here today, might not be here tomorrow. They are forever." And she is with him since she was 16! SIXTEEN!

This to say that, since the very beginning, this lady proved to have her priorities very switched. She proved that at Christmas, she proved that at Easter, when she went to Italy, on her kid's birthday, and when she spent weeks glued to a man and no sign of her kids. So that question would be valid for a mom with her priorities straight. It's not the case: There's a bigger need of money and power than motherhood right now. And people can say "you are being unfair, you don't see everything." Yeah, sure, but miss girl called paps on a daily basis, so we have all recorded...

“A narcissist and egocentric bitch who loves attention but she's STILL a mother. A neglecting one but still. Would she REALLY risk to lose the custody of her kids for a stunt?”

You see, that’s the thing: a mother doesn’t need papers to tell her what she needs to do. A mother doesn’t let stuff get to the point where she needs to be notified. A mother physically feels pain when she is away from her kids. It’s not a choice for her, she needs to live everything with them. They are always included. And if a man doesn’t accept that, then fuck him. In my country we say “mother/father are the ones that raise.” Because, sometimes, even though you have the mother title, you don’t act like one. So, even if they were real (sure, jan), there’s no romantic outcome out of this nor justification. She risked her kids custody from the very moment she decided to live like she was 16. And she knew it! Single mothers can and should have fun. But they also need to remember that, specially with little kids, you can’t just disappear for weeks to follow a man. Real or not, she risked everything. So, if you ask me, are they real? Well, if they were real, the prize would only be a man. If not, it would be publicity, money, attention, fame. If she risked her kids... I am inclined to believe that there are bigger reasons than just “love”. Cause, let’s be fair, if she doesn’t make an effort for her kids, she won’t do it just for loving a man. lol

To all the mothers out there, you guys rock, what an inspiration 💛

Aaaaand here you see a prime example of why people are quitting Tumblr...

I'm so sorry Enna you keep receiving so much hate 😫 Like yeah people can be sad and maybe a little bit frustrated when you don't write even when you promised to write, but they should also keep in mind that you do this free, most of us are. So you could keep a 10 year hiatus if you really wanted and no one has the right to come up and tell you that you should put your priorities straight etc 😅 Your priorities in life are school, work, your friends and other relationships, your mental health etc, it isn't and probably will never be writing stories to Tumblr for people who clearly have no respect for you. We do this as a hobby, and it's the beauty of it. A hobby should be fun, but rarely receiving praises or positive interaction and just being told that you're selfish when you turn requests down or are lazy or can blame yourself for lack of interaction is NOT a way to go.

(I still remember that one anon who told you that "you should lose weight because you're fat" when you had made a post where you made that reminder thing that your favorite characters would also gain weight during quarantine and put into the tags that your ed is trying to push you down again so you needed a reminder and thought to share it for others struggling with weight gain too and I remember them with burning wrath, because wow that was one of the rudest anons ever...)

Ily Enna 💕

Jenni!!! It's okay my dude 😘😘😘 Seriously!!! I don't know what it is about the anonymous feature that gives people some sort of power fantasy or this thing in their brains that tells them "yeah its okay to be rude, they don't know who you are" but that's not how it works??? 😂 At all. Ever. I understand it can be disheartening and disappointing not to get updates, but like you say, at the end of the day it's not a top priority. It's not my job, it's not my school, it's not all the other complicated things life has in store. Like you say, it's a hobby!!! That's what it is!!! That's it!! There's so much love that goes into this, but when it's not received back, it becomes the most disheartening thing.... It's sad to see so many creators leave, but it's 10000% understand unfortunately :/ I love you more, you have no idea!!!!! Xoxoxo💜💖💌💜💖💌💜💖💌💜💖💌

#that ask literally killed me #like?? what?? 😂#idk #ive thought about getting rid of the anonymous feature #but ik i like to send asks anonymously #and i dont wanna take that away #from anyone who's maybe shyer #yknow?#ask #dl
