tom hated to say it, but it was true. he was horrible at secrets. he just could not keep it under wraps, too excited to tell someone about whatever it was. you didn't mind it as you were always the one he told everything to. every movie spoiler known to him has hit your ears at least once.
it was only an issue when you were the one he was keeping the surprise from.
you'd offhandedly mentioned that you had never had a surprise party. naturally, tom made it his mission to make sure you had one. you'd just gotten a promotion at your job and your birthday was in a few days, so tonight was the night tom picked to throw the party.
you were supposed to be out for most of the day, but the rain kind of put a damper on your plans so you came home early, earlier than tom had expected. as soon as he heard the front door open, he popped his head out into the hallway, expecting sam or harry, but seeing you.
"heyyy, baby," he greeted, stepping back in the kitchen to set something down before walking over to you, "i thought you were going to be out with mia all day."
"i was, but," you paused as you shucked off your shoes and rid yourself of your raincoat, "the rain happened and she got a text from chris saying that he thought micah was starting to get sick and you know how much she worries about that boy."
"yeah," tom agreed while leaning against the wall a little too stiffly.
"so we're probably just gonna push off our girl's day to next week." you tried to make your way further inside, but tom moved to stand up fully sort of in your way. there was something about the way he was looking at you that was unusual, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it.
a small smile tugged at his lips. "come here," he whispered softly, arms open for you to walk into. your hands clasped together at the small of his back before his gentle lips came to meet yours. thinking this was just a small greeting kiss, you pulled away and tried to move further down the hall. tom, however, groaned dramatically and held you tighter. "don't leave me just yet."
you couldn't fight off your growing grin and pressed a kiss to his lips once more. he pushed it further in passion, letting his hands cup your cheeks and hold you close. while walking backward, he kept his face on yours and hoped you wouldn't look over into the kitchen.
and you wouldn't have too, if he wasn't too clumsy and tripped over his own feet, falling backward and taking you with him.
"are you okay?" you asked as a smile pulled at your lips when you pulled your head up from his chest to look at him.
before he could respond, he saw your head tilting to the side in the direction of the kitchen and sprung to action.
"you know what?" he prefaced, your eyes meeting his again, "my head does kinda hurt."
the corners of your mouth turned down into a frown. "wanna go lay down?"
"yeah."
getting off of him so he could stand up, you noticed something out of the corner of your eye, something shiny, and went to look at it. tom's lips on yours stopped you though.
"what," his mouth connecting with yours paused your query, "has gotten," another kiss, "into you to-today?"
"nothing," he muttered against your lips, "can't i just love you?"
"why do i feel like you're hiding something from me?"
he closed his eyes in minor defeat before resting his forehead on yours. "you are impossible to surprise, you know that?"
your light chuckle sounded in the air. "no sweetheart, i think you are impossible at keeping things in." he dropped his head to your shoulder and groaned dramatically. "look, i can go wherever you need me to so you can keep doing whatever you're doing so secretively," you emphasized to mess with him, "and i promise i'll be the most shocked and surprised girl you've ever seen when i come back, okay?"
tom lifted his head to meet your eyes. "you don't have to."
"i want to."
"but you already know that i'm surprising you."
you dropped your jaw in faux shock. "you're surprising me?"
"stop," he whined with a giggle.
"what? i have to get my practice in for the real surprise."

Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē
[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you're expected to understand the rest of the text, it's fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

man supernatural might be bad but also ill be damned if thats not the most american show ever. like theres movies and tv that've tried to be this american but 99% have failed. you watch a particularly good episode of supernatural and suddenly you feel the hours of highway winds against your skin and theres more asphalt road than livable terrain for miles and you eat the best meal of your life at a pit stop and you havent gone to church since you were a kid but you still think about praying sometimes and you split a 6 pack with someone you love and a few too many people around you have guns and the land around you is so big when youre right in the center of it you feel like it could swallow you up and you know for a fact theres an unimaginable amount of mythology just beneath the surface. and then you watch the next episode where sam kills paris hilton or something

"damn it," you mumbled under your breath, hoping tom didn't hear you. he'd always scolded you for rapidly cutting vegetables, knowing you were going too fast and that you'd hurt yourself one day.
well, today was that day. the cut wasn't anything major, but it was bleeding and hurt like a bitch too. the sound of footsteps approaching didn't make you feel any better.
"you cut yourself, didn't you?" he asked when he saw you slip your hand behind your back to hide it, but your attempt was futile. "sweetheart, let me see." you gave him your hand and let him inspect it. "oh darling," he sighed before leading you over to the sink.
you felt like a child in trouble with her father and you didn't relish in the feeling. you, with tom's aid of his hands on your hips, lifted yourself onto the counter so he could better work on the wound. you didn't like the silence—it felt worse than the disappointing glare—so you broke it.
"aren't you going to say 'i told you so' or something?" tom looked up at you from where he'd been so focused on your finger and his brows drew together. "you were right. gloat in it."
"baby," he started softly, letting his hand come up to cup your cheek, "that's not what i care about. what i care about is you and your safety and i know it's just a little knick on your finger, but i don't like the idea of you hurt ever, no matter how big or small."
his little speech in conjunction with your time of the month being around the corner made tears spring to your eyes. "i'm sorry."
"darling, you have nothing to be sorry for." you nodded but kept your gaze fixated on your lap. "look at me," tom begged, feeling better when your eyes met his, "it's okay. i'll finish cutting the vegetables and you can do whatever you want even if that means sitting right here and staying with me, okay?"
"yeah, okay." he smiled at your feeble attempt at one and leaned forward to press his lips to yours.
"i love you, you know that, right?"
you playfully rolled your eyes at him and nodded. "yes, i love you too, tom."
"alright, just checking." he gave you one more kiss before he got started on what you left for him.

SAM: Uhhh, Alice? // ALICE: Yeah? // SAM: I think the text to speech AIs are in love with each other. // ALICE: Heh. Chester and Norris started flirting mid-paragraph again? // SAM: A-again? // ALICE: Ya, they do that when they get side-tracked by outside data. It's just a bug, wait it out. // SAM: Wha??
