Coffee and then, Coffee
by helloliriels
We ran around, late in to night -
barely stopping,
barely breathing.
Quick ready laughter
touched
Our sides.
.
Can't recall
the last time I
genuinely laughed
before.
Had I?
Had you?
Carefree?
.
You drank coffee,
I drank tea.
.
A crack and then,
the man was down.
You kneeling to catch
hands
in cuffs -
breath
in huffs.
Exhilarating -
Me and you,
You and me.
.
If I had feelings,
you'd be
the first
to see.
.
You grab a coffee,
I order tea.
.
Sorry I can't do a double.
Another mistake.
They thought
that
you and I
Were
mine and me?
You protest again, yet
I say
nothing.
What is it people -
unobservant,
see?
"Something sweet for you two, then?"
"Black, no sugar"
"Tea, yes. Three."
.
The frequency changed
Why, you can't say...
Your eyes they catch
mine
Looking back;
They lock together
Constantly.
The air electric
Radiates.
A sudden gruff
avoidance starts.
You seem to be ...
Angry with me?
.
Frustration sounds,
In every huff.
In every snark.
In every bite:
Coffee,
And then,
Coffee.
.
And still
Here I
Sip tea.
.
It's over now.
The villain caught.
the risk I took
too readily...
Will you bark?
Will you bite?
.
Your eyes,
they shine back
dangerously.
.
Curious.
He ... ?
.
I raise a hand
to ask - on guard;
You're straining now
against a force -
A force that's not
unknown to me...
.
You take my cup;
When next I move.
Expecting rage
Not sympathy.
.
"there's sugar there"
"know that, ta!"
"but you...?"
I pause,
and blink -
"Coffee?"
.
I fixate on:
Your lips,
Your eyes,
The cup that's raised.
The white of teeth.
.
You're sipping then
hold smooth a while -
a while and then,
hand back to me.
.
"You know, I tried," you say,
"I tried - "
But I deduce:
"You like the tea?"
You nod and then
hear myself say
a thought aloud:
"Well then,
kiss me."
.
Amazed.
by the
simplicity,
we shift
from
I
and
You
to
WE
.

Chun mee tea is rich in vitamin C and tea polyphenols, which helps enhance immunity. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can effectively relieve thirst and eliminate fatigue.

listen to me. look me in my fucking eyes. link and Zelda love each other in a way that transcends time and space; they support each other in a way that’s so fundamental to their being that even stripped of their personhood or their memories it’s still what drives them. for both of them it’s never quite about saving the world or serving their goddess, it’s about making it back to the other no matter what miracles they have to work or mountains they have to move. its not even really romance bc that would imply they’re wholly separate when at times they’re closer to being two halves of the same being. their love is symbiosis. ganon must feel like he’s universally destined to the most hellish third wheeling in all existence. and it all makes me so intensely emotional im drunk baking about it

Get Back is honestly so intense I’ve restarted a tumblr blog because of it, listened to hours of podcasts, made my way almost completely through the solo works of Lennon and McCartney respectively…and I’ve only made it to half an hour into episode 2.
Empires have risen and fallen over less than the micro-emotions and dynamics of 15 minutes of Get Back.

Okay, I MAYBE doodled Marie a brother, because Marie was inspired by a certain ragdolly from a certain film! So he might be a permanent oc! I am still working on his design!
