dark star!johnny cage > against the world
what it's like dating the evil version of hollywood's golden boy. it's not all fun and games, even if that's how he sees it
warnings: lowkey abusive relationship like just straight up. yandere. lil smutty but nothing horrifically graphic.
notes: listened to "wrap me in plastic" and "watch me work" while writing LMFAO also please god the coat stays ON ‼️‼️‼️‼️ hes so scrummy i need him biblically
masterlist <3
part 2* / part 3* / part 4* / part 5* / part 6*
Tumblr media
•first of all, dark star!johnny is so incredibly emotionally immature. he's a whiny bastard fr. hell hath no fury like a white man that's in the wrong during an argument with his girlfriend
•"baaaabe what's wrong?? it was just a joke!" after he says you're a 6/10 compared to a model on his phone. ZERO awareness.
•WALL PUNCHER. IM JUST BEING HONEST. your beautiful pale pink walls have so many shoulder-height white patches from you having to fix the wall every time his water has an inadequate amount of cucumber slices.
•he's got the same upbringing as the better johnny, shitty dad and dead mom. he just never really knew how to cope with it. equally as famous as his counterpart, he prefers throwing punches in action flicks. he's just somehow more of a dick about it.
•pampered to holy hell between shots, all relaxed in his chair with his name embroidered on it while one woman tends to his makeup, another to his hair, a third feeding him water. it's how he wants it to be, he needs to be perfect. he is perfect.
•spends like two hours getting ready, most of the time is spent on his hair. you tell him it'd be more efficient to trim it down a couple inches but he likes the way it flops over. you also like the way it falls in front of his face during his stunts. he's just so effortlessly sexy.
•uses his height and physique to his advantage. he loves backing you into corners and looming above you menacingly to watch you squirm, flustered. his large sunglasses reflect your pathetic little face.
•now with you, he loves to show you off, but not enough for you to steal the spotlight. you're his favorite little accessory that hangs off his arm. he chooses your outfits when you make public appearances. INSISTS on matching all the time. misty blue dress with gold jewelry to match his obnoxiously large coat.
•the good johnny plays things up for the camera and saves the sweetness for behind closed doors. dark star!johnny doesn't know when to turn off "camera mode." bro will not be sweet with you unless it gets him brownie points after he fucks up.
•he's so unfair. women fawn over him constantly and he smiles all smugly and leans into their touches. but if a man so much as looks at you for more than a couple seconds, he's beating the guy in moments.
•hates it when you find joy in other people. he will constantly fill you with thoughts that everyone will leave you one day for one reason or another, and that you should feel lucky that a world famous actor wants you.
•will make you turn against people you hold dear, he cuts them out of your life so they can't influence you like he does. this man is a smooth talker and hardcore manipulator that'll leave you anxious when you talk to anyone but him. he has you thinking everyone's out to get you.
•"come on baby, you really think they'd love you like i do? don't be delusional. it's just you and me against the world, you got it?"
•you guys have had so many public scandals, you're the main source of income for the TMZ employees.
•sex tape here, public screaming match there
•speaking of which this dude FUCKS. HARD. :3
•johnny will literally pound you into oblivion whenever he pleases. he prefers doggystyle so he can use your hair as leverage. sometimes he reaches forward and holds your jaw, chest pressed against your back as he mercilessly fucks you. he totally gets himself off on your pathetic moans.
•records it every time. partially to jerk off to later, partially as leverage against you.
•"you like that?" he'll ask in that low growl, somehow hitting even deeper. "nobody can fuck you like i do. so don't even fucking think about leaving - ngh -"
•after an argument, you'll find gorgeous purses or necklaces on your shared vanity. not because he's sorry, but because he knows you'll forget about how annoying he can be when he shells out a couple thousand on a gift for you.
•you could honestly probably do better, but who's gonna say no to johnny cage?

wonwoo boyfriend headcanons <3
a/n: i am vibrating from how much cold brew i consumed on an empty stomach so i'm writing this in hopes of wonwoo thoughts calming me down but honestly i'll just end up crying <3 pics not mine~
content: fluff | wc: 1.4k | warnings: none! | pairing: boyfriend!wonwoo x gn!reader | requests: open
Tumblr media Tumblr media
wonwoo is the love of my life actually. it's scientifically proven and peer-reviewed that i love and adore him with all my heart and soul, so this post is going to be long and filled with my love for him <3
sweetest softest most loving boy in the world <3
he's the type of person to show love through small, tender gestures and actions
loves playing with your hands
i can very clearly see him lying in bed, grabbing your hand delicately, and twiddling with your fingers while you both watch tv/read/scroll on your phones
he also does this absentmindedly when he’s thinking
he may be lost in thought but that doesn’t mean he’s unaware of your presence <3
your presence actually helps him think more clearly :-(
he'll always come to you with questions or problems he needs to work through because just talking to you helps him sort out his thoughts and he knows you'll always offer support and advice
he will call you or send you voice messages about this when he's away too
you are always always always on his mind
and he never lets you forget it
wonwoo so clearly loves you with every little thing he does
even the unconscious ones
walking on the outer part of the sidewalk so you're farther away from vehicles, putting his hand over your head when you enter a car, getting two of a drink/snack so you can have some, tidying up your area of the bathroom counter, and so on
taking care of you is his second nature :-((
sometimes wonwoo just stares at you with complete wonder in his eyes because he can't believe you're real
when you catch him doing it and ask if there's something on your face he just shakes his head and says in tiny "oh no it's nothing"
he looks down to his hands and he's blushing SO much and fighting back a lil smile because he's overwhelmed by how much he loves you i'm screaming
if you push up his glasses when they start to slip or straighten the collar of his shirt or fix a loose strand of his hair he will absolutely lose it
you broke his brain like he doesn't know how to contain himself when you do kind gestures like that
he's muttering and stuttering "thank you" over and over again
he's so cute and flustered so you just give him a lil kiss or pat on the head and he goes completely silent and his eyes are literally sparkling with his love for you
no thoughts head empty except for his love for you <3
wonwoo is a big big BIG fan of quality time
he adores doing things with you, and he equally adores sharing space with you as you both do your respective things
if y'all are in the living room reading different books but cuddled together on the couch, wonwoo is genuinely in heaven
he also loves having you around while he games. like if you're in his vicinity he's so at peace even when his emotions are at an all-time high during the game
and he loves just hanging out while you're doing something you love !!
he simply loves your physical proximity (or digital if he's touring/you're traveling and y'all just facetime or call while doing your own things like cooking or working)
he will let you know when he wants your undivided attention though
often he will do this by biting your shoulder :,-)
you could be making tea in the kitchen and wonwoo will walk up and give you a backhug and gently bite your shoulder so you know that he wants you to look at him and talk to him i'm sobbing thinking about this
and he's so content talking about the smallest things with you :-(
after he bites your shoulder he hums "what're you doing?" and you know he knows what you're doing but you love him so much so you answer "i'm making tea"
he proceeds to ask you lil questions about your tea, your mood, what you plan to do while drinking your tea the correct answer is "hang out with you, wonwoo"
he could actually listen to you talk for hours i'm not even kidding
he's obsessed with the sound of your voice and all the idiosyncrasies in your speech, gestures, etc
he starts picking them up and seventeen is like ?? when did you start saying/doing that ??
and then they meet you and go OHHHHHHHHH that's what it was
after that they will point out every time he acts/speaks like you and he gets a lil embarrassed but also his heart swells because he loves that you've become such a huge part of him <33
he strikes me as the kind of guy who likes to listen to podcasts with you
hear me out
walking around outside, there's a breeze in the air, you're holding hands, sharing headphones, and listening to a podcast about your shared interests
someone hold me i'm having a breakdown
he's so good at comforting you
he becomes so in tune with your emotions that whenever you come to him sad/angry/stressed/etc he is ready
even if he doesn't know exactly what to say, he will listen to you and support you however you need
he'll hold your hands in his while you speak and maintain eye contact so you know you have his full attention
and whenever you cry he will gently wipe your tears away before grabbing tissues for you <3 and sitting with you while you settle yourself <3 and then he'll ask if you want water or anything to make you feel more at ease <3
he's also the absolute best at supporting you through all your successes
he is your BIGGEST fan
he'll always be proud of you and tells you that frequently because he thinks you're so amazing in whatever you do and he wants you to celebrate yourself as much as he celebrates you
he will be walking on cloud nine if you ever compliment a song/performance he's done
like if you like what he's doing that's more than enough for him to be satisfied with it
if he's ever insecure, you telling him all the wonderful things he does makes a world of difference
also so silly with you
he loves making comments that make you laugh
he gets the proudest smile on his face when he makes you laugh
he likes to whisper lil jokes or ad-libs to you when you're hanging out in a group
because he loves when you giggle or even laugh loudly at something he added to the conversation just for you
sometimes he'll make notes of a funny story or a joke he wants to tell you the next time he sees you :,-)
he also will keep notes (mentally or on his phone) of cool things he's learned so he can share them with you !!!
few things make him happier than the look on your face when he tells you something interesting <3
speaking of notes
wonwoo loves leaving handwritten ones for you
if he leaves before you wake up, he's putting a good morning note by your usual mug or your toothbrush so you see his encouraging message as soon as you start your day
if you're going to be apart for a while, he'll write longer notes or hide different little ones around your place so you can get surprise wonwoo words while he's away :-(
any notes you write him are kept safely with his things !!!
he keeps a special one in his wallet or phone case, so you are always with him and he takes it out and reads it when he misses you or is feeling sad even though he has it memorized
if you give him a gift based on the notes you two have written each other throughout your relationship, he WILL cry
he just loves sentiments like that <3 he's a sentimental guy and he likes to show you his love through things with meaning because he thinks it's the best way to convey how special you are to him
wonwoo loves you with everything he's got, and it's clear from the way he interacts with you on a daily basis that you are an important part of his life
no matter what, he's thinking of and caring for you because you make him feel so loved and cared for that he wants nothing more than to make you feel safe and adored <3
sorry i gotta go clutch my crocheted wonwoo plushie to my chest and cry because i love him so dearly :,-( i hope everyone gets the wonwoo they deserve <3

The main 4(south park) spending time with their s/o (gn), and they just rly randomly smack them with a pillow not hard just playfully! How would they react?
the main 4 getting smacked by a pillow
Gender: neutral
Warnings: none!
☆-Stan:
You guys were probably sitting on stans bed, on your phones
not because theres nothing to do, but simply because you enjoy silently being in each others presence
But you grew bored, so you take one of the thousand pillows laying around stans bed and smack him
My man would be dumbfounded and offended
He would sit there, mouth dramatically agape
But before you could react he starts tickling you
He's not a fair player!! Although you attacking him out of nowhere also isn't fair
Soon you guys would be running around the house. Him trying to tickle you and you trying to keep him away from you
The whole house would be a huge mess
At one point you guys would finally stop and when he gets the chance he takes the pillow from you and smack it against the back of you head (of course not hard, just like you did)
With that he would declare himself the winner
Later you two would need to clean up the mess, but it was totally worth it
☆-Cartman:
I literally have no idea how to correctly write cartman, forgive me
Probably you were just chilling at his house, watching him play video games
actually not video games, video game. One singular game, for like 2 hours already
Man you were bored, so you just took a pillow and smacked the controller out of his hand
Remember how I said stan was offended, yeah no cartman would be even way more offended
He will probably not forgive you for the next 2 days
But he does take 2 pillows and sandwich you inbetween
Don't try more
Seriously.
☆-Kyle:
I'd assume you two would have a study date
Not that you don't appreciate kyle repeating the topics with you
But god repeating physics over and over again gets tiring
Probably you'd sprawled out over the bed, answering kyles questions
There you had the smartes idea ever atleast in your over exhausted head
Promptly you smack the nearest pillow over kyles head
He'd probably be confused, but also sympathetic. After all you two had been working for quiet some time
Would initiate a pillow fight, if you agree to go with the rules he sets
Is very careful tho, would use softer pillows and weaker hits to not hurt you
Yeah no, you don't go back to learning that day
That would probably become an insider
Whenever you guys are studying for a long time he will initiate a "pillow fight break"
Most of the time you don't actually have pillow fights, he just likes calling it that
☆-kenny:
You guys were just chilling in his room, watching something on your laptop
Then you just impulsively pull the pillow from under his head and smack it on his face
Please ignore the porn magazines under that, thanks
He definitely would start laughing
then he would snatch that pillow and smack you over and over again
my man doesn't have a second pillow in his room, so no pillow fight
he's also not fair
wouldn't let you get that pillow back
if he's taller than you, he will hold it over your head and tease you about it
extra points if you get embarrassed or whiny
when he's done relentlessly bullying you, he would cuddle you
and he won't let go.
yeah you won't finish whatever you were watching

Consider the following:
Vanessa should have taken the role of Phone Guy until the very end. (Plus obviously she doesn't die on tape.)
She essentially serves the same purpose, to give exposition and help Mike learn the ropes.
Her presence would feel less awkwardly shoehorned in.
They still could have the instructional tape, literally nothing is stopping then.
No cops.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE REVEAL.
It would go like this:
Vanessa loved the place as a kid, but started working there to expose her father's misdeeds. Instead of a trap for Mike, she's setting up a trap for her father, similar to Michael in the games, since she's essentially taken his place.
She hears about the new hire and realizes he might be able to lead her right to her father, so she starts calling the place. Giving him tips and exposition to try and get him in the game.
There can even be an arc with the sleep thing where he starts to ignore her calls, and then the place gets broken into, and she scolds him over the phone the same way she does in-person. That they're as desperate for him to work this job as he is, so he got lucky, so he can't keep slacking off. There's a bigger role to play here.
All of this leads up to the finale and the reveal, and suddenly now, Vanessa has all of this mystery and character depth around her, and it becomes *ten times* more impactful, plus a one-two punch with Vanessa being Afton's daughter.
Seriously. Everything else in the movie stays the same.
But Vanessa is phone guy.

won't really let you out anywhere. to be fair, there would probably be a lot of things he would give you to entertain yourself with, but if your an extrovert you might as well just shrivel up and die because there will be no talking to anyone until you are either able to escape or if there's a guest.
speaking of giving gifts, it's one of his favorite forms of talking to you when he first takes you. since you're either giving him the silent treatment, or are just not in a good state at all, he would just slide them over or try to present them to you when you weren't screaming, crying etc.
it would be anything he believed you liked. if he saw you mentioned something about a certain clothing brand or style, he would get you different outfits based on that. if he knew you liked video games, he would pick out a few that he thought you would like. or even if you liked doing certain activities, like playing an instrument or making art.
he likes getting you gifts you can use or interact with, as it gives him an opportunity to talk to you about something other than you just begging to go home. he likes just talking to you about different things or even letting you ramble about your interests.
however, sometimes he would give you gifts based on his own interests. for example, he'll give you books that he has read or books he enjoys rather than what you might like. or if he's working on a certain project, he might get books on how the actual project works. maybe he'll even give you blueprints for it.
sometimes, when there's nothing for him to finish or do, he'll order something he knows you'll like and set up a table and just have the both of you eat and talk. while it may be awkward at the beginning, he is also very persistent and will try anything and everything to make you talk, even if it's some rant about something you are very strong about.
he likes watching you talk about different things and how you react more on certain topics than others. he likes making mental notes in his head and writing them down later. do you like this show more than others? do you argue more over certain people? he keeps it in a secret little file he has stored in his computer.
actually, sometimes if you're unavailable for whatever reason, usually if you're asleep and he doesn't want to bother you, he'll look through your old messages, videos, and pictures, usually from your phone, to see how you were. what you liked.
this also comes in handy when he knows who you remember the most. your parents? your friends? if you had a boyfriend or girlfriend, he would most definitely kill them. wouldn't even hesitate. to him, they're unnecessary and a waste of time.
wants to be someone you care about, who you look up to. he tries his best to make himself appear more friendly, or almost better, just to try and connect with you.
you can't really escape that well. even if you do, he probably has you somewhere where either there are guards around every corner, or there are other villains (usually people who he works with frequently) who have no problem ratting you out, or dragging you back.
even if you were able to somehow avoid both, it would be a miracle if you were able to find a place to hide. even spiderman couldn't help you at that point. otto has money, power, and a bunch of people who are experts in finding missing people. unless you have the equivalent or better connections than he does, you will be out of the lair for at most a month. probably not even two.
he gets protective easily. very easily. since you never have anyone to talk to, if you talk to someone who is just visiting, he pushes them away (literally) and then tells them to basically mind their business. you would then be locked out of whatever room they were in until the visitor leaves, and then he would just sulk or pout for the rest of the night.
however, he can also lose his shit if you piss him off too much. depending on how you did it, though, can lead to different reactions. if you aren't paying enough attention in his eyes, he'll force the both of you to hang out, or he'll just hold you in his arms. if you pissed him off by hitting him, yelling at him, crying, he would just straight up drug you. nothing to make you fall asleep, more like to make you out of it, like weed.
he might even get you used to it on a certain day or time, just so that he can have his time with you. of course, this is only if you continue to act out. he won't tell you that he gave you anything, but if you confront him about it, he basically shuts down anything that makes him sound wrong. he won't deny it, but he will point the blame in your direction. that you don't know what you want in life, that everything he does for you is either because you need it or you deserve it, and that he gives you everything you could ever want and you still fight with him.
if you piss him off way too much, he will just start arguing with you. it's not going to be some equal kind of argument, either. he will make you feel like crap for saying anything in the first place. he will tell you that no one outside even cares about you. he will even bring up things that happened before he took you, that he just wants the best for you. he might even start yelling at you if you try to interject.
basically, he scares you into submission. even if you try to tell him you understand, he won't care. he'll continue to argue with you until he feels like his point has been made, that you won't argue or complain again. he won't ask you for permission for anything, he if wants something from you, he will take it. he won't give you any affection or praise, he will just stare and talk without any emotion. it might even be several days before he goes back to his normal old self.
of course, this is only if you make him too mad. he kind of regrets it afterward, as he feels like it was too harsh, but the actuators just tell him that even if it was a mistake, what was done is done. there is no way to change what had happened.
overall, otto is not that bad so long as you don't make him mad. he'll give you anything you ask for, anything to make you happy, and he gets very possessive very quickly if for some reason anyone is around you.
~~~
I hope you guys like it 💗 sorry if it seems rushed, I'm kinda sad rn and not feeling well mentally :(

Ok I see ppl on Tumblr talking Abt how much they liked the final episodes but honestly I was severely underwhelmed by the fionna and cake ending. If you don't want to see me just list out everything I like and dislike and why according to my arbitrary personal preferences scroll now.
The second half of the fight with scabby was meh and repetitive. At least the gumlee was cute. Fionna is still the bestest even if her final fight kinda sucked. I love her dearly and I hope she is living her best life.
The lack of Ooo Marceline in the end was literally so disappointing too I wish we could've seen her again at SOME point.
And just in general the ending felt really rushed, I feel like if they had some more episodes to work with it would've been a lot smoother.
Simons pov was just so severely underwhelming, it just felt like filler to me.
I literally didn't care if it was going to be happy or sad ending for Simon as long as it made me feel things like the last couple of episodes did but it just felt totally flat. It didn't really feel like an ending at all. I wouldn't even mind the breakup angle they took under normal circumstances if it wasn't for the fact he like. Literally spent 12 years basically being in a constant mental breakdown, and a thousand years before that subconsciously searching for her, and her literally driving herself to insanity and becoming golb to keep him safe, but wow suddenly everything's chill cuz he played a video game. Ok. Simon just realized that whoops he didn't always take Betty's feelings into account and they parted ways.
And I will repeat: I DO NOT MIND THE BREAK UP ANGLE. IT MAKES SENSE OBJECTIVELY. HOWEVER. IT FEELS LIKE THERE WAS LIKE. TWO MINUTES OF THOUGHT PUT INTO IT. DEFINITELY NOT SUPER HEARTSTRINGS PULLING TO ME. DO NOT GET IN MY COMMENTS BEING WELL ACTKULLY THIS IS JUST ME COMPLAINING ABOUT CARTOONS.
I liked the golbetty in the bus and the golbetty statue. I could bs something about them going their separate ways on a journey the other can't go on and insert trigun quote here about how the ticket to the future is always blank but I just really like golbetty. She's great shes monsterous she's perfect.
Just in general Simon and Betty felt off to me during the final episodes, I can't really put my finger on it but they just felt weird. I'm sure Betty's been doing a lot of thinking in the void and all but it still fell to the left of them I think. The whole time I was watching I was just like. Hm.
Edit: got it. Betty has always been wanting to keep Simon thinking about her. Always. With AI Betty head she flat out said "I knew it would drive you crazy but at least you'd always be thinking about me" and it's like a core thing she does stuff for the Dramatics. While you can argue she's been doing a lot of thinking in the void and matured because of it she's also been a goddess of CHAOS. If anything she's gonna go more loony rather than more mature.
Not to sound like a doomed crazy yuri enthusiast but there are literally no normal or healthy actions you can take after literally becoming a god for someone.
Maybe I'm just too committed to the bit but I'm a solid believer that if you start a weird fucked up path you gotta end on a weird fucked up note. Although the severe disappointment of nothing happening is probably the most fucked up thing they could do to me.
Ik it's supposed to be some sometimes life doesn't give you a tidy ending stuff but also this is fiction I get enough fuck yous like this from reality and ignored job applications I want my fuck yous from fiction to be not sadly vague. Or at least better written.
At least Simon's in therapy. About time.
And the little emoticons he's using in his phone. :)
Tumblr media
Do feel free to put your own opinions in on whether you liked or disliked the ending just play nice 🤙

Some Feelings About Disco Elysium
I wanna say, I've never really related to the need of wanting more represantation of your culture and/or community. I understoon the idea and why actual represantation beyond headcanon and fandom interpretation was something many people strive for and need more of. I just never personally could relate to that need - even if it revolved around cultures and communities I am a part of.
Yes, I was always happy when I saw a represantation of those like me, especially if said represantation is positive but I never felt that "I needed this".
Well at least not until playing and finishing Disco Elysium.
I do not want this to be some extremelly long personal post so I will not go in detail of the game itself but as someone who has suffered from psychosis for years now, I don't think I have ever felt so close to the protagonist of the game as I did with Harry.
While I also see Harry as plural, For the entire game I couldn't help but keep thinking how Skills [and items like Necktie] talking to Harry is quite literally how I experience everyday through my life with auditory hallucinations that incidentally do manifest as random inputs out of nowhere in my head that are impossible to locate the source from.
And the way Harry talks, the way he interracts with the world - even if you decide to only pick the most "sane" of the given dialogue options, you still may struggle heavily to be seen as "normal" by other characters in the game. That one is something heavily personal to me as well - when even at the times of me trying my best to mask, the symptoms and effects of my psychosis among other mental disorders still manage to come out and possibly freak others.
And just... In general showing Harry's struggle and him being intense and quite often not being sure what was the intention of his actions either, not knowing why he cannot put the phone down, not being able to stop what he's doing even when he knows he already failed [specifically talking of when you lose a Check but cannot back out even if technically nothing is stopping him from shutting up or not continuing to harm himself, etc.].
He is lost, yes he is a complete amnesiac so that's given but even in later stages of the game where he recovers some parts of himself and the world around him, he is still struggling and quite often openly talking of needing a break and just, stoping everything around him.
I could go on, yes but it would be repetetive of me and if you played the game you probably are able to yourself name multiple other characteristics of Harry not being "sane" no matter how hard he/player might try.
I'm listing all of those because as I mentioned, those are heavily personal and relatable things to me as well. Dare I say, except for amnesia, sometimes my daily life does just feel like playing Disco Elysium. [Although I do suffer from micro-amnesic episodes as well...]
And I didn't know I needed a protagonist like Harry Du Bois in my life, I didn't know I needed a game like Disco Elysium in my life that lets you put on the shoes of a canonically psychotic character and written in a purposefully ugly way. Not romanticising it but also being respectful and not treating Harry as a monster nor a person who will never be part of the society [the ending of the game hit way too close to my heart...]. The game doesn't beat around the bush or tries to minimize the horrors of his mind or characterize them in the way where it feels like the game's genre is meant to be fantasy instead.
The game and the writing of Disco Elysium is just... honest. Honest is a good word. It shows you both the ugliest and the prettiest and the most hurtful and the most hopeful of Harry's mind. And before playing Disco Elysium, I struggled heavily to sometimes explain the way my mind works, even to myself - to put pieces of it in place or category. But Disco Elysium made me able to and able to notice certain patterns or realize certain things of what is going on with me. I needed this game in my life, I needed this protagonist in my life and I didn't know I did until I finished it.
I suppose it is no surprise I will now consider Disco Elysium my favorite game and keep recommending it to people who can handle heavy subject the game tackles. It is also no surprise that I have already started my second playthrough of the game. The way mentality of Harry is written is just one of many other amazingly written aspects of the game. The game's story made me emotional, the game's characters made me emotional, the setting made me emotional and there is still so much content I haven't managed to explore on my first playthrough. Not to mention I cried twice or thrice during it. It is a masterpiece, I believe.
Thank you, Robert Kurvitz. Thank you, Aleksander Rostov. Thank you Helen Hindpere. Thank you for creating and writing an experience so close to mine I didn't know I needed to see represented.

First encounters with humans
After meeting Harold and receiving a crash course in how to behave in the human world, they will inevitably meet humans.
-I don't own the game or the characters-
James:
The first time he talks to a human almost ends in disaster for him. It starts with James, even though he already has a solid basic knowledge, feels inferior in the course of the conversation because the other person seems to have more knowledge in the area. Of course, he didn't have that much time to deal with everything that could be interesting, but he hasn't felt so uninformed in a long time. And then he is also interrupted and corrected by his counterpart. In the middle of a sentence! As if it were perfectly fine to interrupt the heir to the throne and the future ruler of a vast army... Damien has to put a soothing hand on James' arm to snap him out of his vortex of thoughts and bring him back to the present. And James? He feels ashamed. He will definitely work to be a perfect gentleman. Never again will a person upset him so much that his little brother has to stop him. The very next time he has a conversation, he takes over the conversation in a natural way, without feeling the slightest hint of discomfort. Just as it should be for him.
Erik:
Erik's first impression as he meets humans is that this world seems to be full of people bursting with energy. They subtly radiate it in their auras. A real feast should they get hungry, he thinks to himself, until he addresses the first person with his usual mask. The prompt reply "I'm in a relationship" confuses him so much that he is thrown off balance. Why is this information he needed to receive and why does they seem so utterly uninterested? Erik quickly realizes that he and his brothers still have a lot to learn about human relationship and sexual behaviors, and if his energy levels are anything to go by, they'd better start tackling it today rather than tomorrow. At least, it seems like it's actually feasible for him to maybe drop his mask. Not always, but little by little he should really think about what kind of person he really wants to be behind his facade. He now has the freedom to do so. And he will use it.
Sam:
As expected, his first conversation with a human is rather uncomfortably taciturn. Of course, James had warned him not to show of his strength before they hit the road. But what exactly is it supposed to do for him to talk to a human? What could this creature have to discuss with him? These are the questions he asks himself while suspiciously scrutinizing the person in front of him before answering the questions to himself. Nothing! In his eyes, he has absolutely nothing to discuss with this person, so he doesn't even bother to show a reasonable answer or a reaction to the speech. He came into this world with his brothers to be with them. In the beginning, talking to a human seems completely unnecessary to him, which quickly builds up the image of the impolite, rude guy. The swearing, which he shows quite quickly as a reaction to being spoken to, doesn't exactly help. In time, he may learn to enjoy being with humans after all. But at the beginning of their journey? No chance.
Matthew:
When the first human literally crashes into him because, instead of looking ahead, he's staring at a small black thing he's holding that's making sounds, Matthew's interest is immediately piqued. He accepts the apologies of his opponent benevolently, after all it was not a matter of course in the Abyssal Plains that one apologizes for such a collision with him. The fact that the person he is talking to is willing to give him information about his cell phone and the game he is playing on it makes it even better. So people have the freedom to play games with these small devices even though they are adults? Unbelievable for him and at the same time very tempting. If he could get his hands on something like that, he'd do exactly the same thing. And neither James nor the others could accuse him of being childish, after all these games were made for adults, right? That there are people who devote their time to making games and toys and even get paid for it? Even better. His enthusiastic nature doesn't seem to bother the person opposite and it takes one of his brothers to interrupt the conversation at a certain point, Matthew could have talked for hours.
Damien:
Damien's first human encounter, other than Harold, is like a dream come true. That's what he wanted! He's just overwhelmed. The peaceful and happy thoughts of those around him bring him to a complete standstill. No one thinks about the need for energy, no war scenarios are played out in their heads and it seems as if the other person is not afraid to wake up the next morning. Instead, thoughts are dominated by friends, family, work that people have chosen, relationships and leisure activities. Freedoms he has never known or heard spread out before him and it takes a long moment before he can collect himself. When a human finally approaches him and is neither condescending nor hostile towards him, he can hardly believe his luck. He wants so badly to be a part of them and he will do everything to become as human as possible.

The Day-to-Day Life of the Heathers + Veronica (Pt. 2/2)
Wow I didn't think I would write so much about this I would need to make a second post lol
Chandler's least favorite chore is cleaning up after the pets
JFK isn't so bad, he's a lazy old thing and doesn't do much besides sit on the couch, all she has to do is clean his litter box and feed him
Heather the cat is another story
She gets upset when Mac goes to work and spends a few hours searching the house for her and when she realizes that she's gone she goes yell at Chandler
Its hard to get work done when this massive Maine Coon is yelling at you bc her favorite human isn't home
She'll just follow Chandler and just incessantly meow until Mac gets home and its really annoying
She tries to play with her but Heather wants nothing to do with her and it makes Chandler so mad
Mac's Rabbit Munchkin is the sweetest little Holland Lop but good god is it messy
There's always hay and straw and droppings around her little rabbit area
How does one little rabbit make so much mess? The world may never know
Chandler actually doesn't mind Munchkin, she's sweet and doesn't really do much besides hop around and play
But you know what she does mind? Having to deal with Cornelius the snake
He's in a cage in Duke's room and every few days Chandler has to go in and feed him and clean up
Chandler hates this so much but she does it bc she loves Duke and Duke loves Cornelius
They have frozen rats which Chandler has to thaw and give to him using these really long tongs that she bought to stay as far away from the snake as possible
She is literally shaking in fear as she unlocks the cage and slowly inches the rat near Cornelius
She quickly cleans up his droppings and shed skin while he eats the rat so she doesn't turn his attention on her and try and bite her
In reality he would never do that but Chandler is not sticking around to find out
She also has to go shopping, which is a chore she loves doing
She has to go get groceries and its hard to get everything that 4 different people want, especially when they all have different wants and likes but she manages and actually enjoys going find everything
With whatever time she has left over she'll watch TV or scroll her phone, or get a headstart on dinner or bake cookies or brownies or a cake
She picked up cooking as a hobby but she's actually gotten really good at it with all the practice she gets and now she finds different recipes to try out
Veronica is usually the first one to get home, followed by Mac if she isn't volunteering that day, and then Duke
So reverse order of when they leave
Once they all get home they'll eat dinner and then go snuggle on the couch and watch something or go play a game, whatever they do they just spend time with each other
The pets will join them
JFK just kinda sits around and occasionally goes to Veronica
Heather the cat just meows at Mac until she gives her attention, she's an attention whore
Munchkin just kinda does whatever, but usually sits in Mac's lap while they watch TV
Cornelius stays in his cage bc if not Chandler would scream
Eventually they'll all go shower
They usually do it together to save on water and also for.... other reasons that will not be elaborated on
After that they'll just go chill and watch some TV or whatever until they get sleepy
Usually Mac falls asleep on one of her gfs and has to be carried to bed
Whenever Mac falls asleep is when everyone takes it as a sign to head to bed themselves
Veronica has insomnia and has issues falling asleep, so sometimes she'll just look at all her gfs sleeping and remind herself how lucky she is to be in this situation and how much she loves these girls

1) You have no idea how excited I was when someone actually wanted to delve my AU list, and #16 is one I haven't really done any work on this one so I'm so happy to think more on it thank you so much @tinpotterror
2) au 16 is one I'm so excited to get a plot for I can't stress enough that I think this one is gonna be good I just don't have a main conflict yet but who knows maybe this post will brew it, I do some great thinking while typing shit
SO AU 16 is a hospital au
which yes yes I know
but I need you to imagine, to come along for the ride with me.
It's an emergency room, because it always is, that's how these things always go, and ben solo is nearing the end of his residency. four years of undergrad, four years of medical school, and he's ready to be a fully fledged doctor. It's all he's wanted for fuckin YEARS, and he's almost there.
But charge nurse Armitage Hux continues to be a pain in his ass. All he has are complaints; the way Ben charts, his patient demeanor, hell, he even questions the dosage on meds, sometimes. (And he's often right, though Ben will never admit it. 50mg ˆwouldˆ have killed that patient, he did mean 5mg.) Ben doesn't like it, but Hux spends a lot of time cleaning up his messes, to the point that Hux legit does not respect Ben. Literally calls him Ben, doesn't call him Dr. Anything, because he's inches away from being a nurse practitioner, and he's earned the right to feel that way.
My favorite game to play is how do I get snoke in this au, and I think snoke is an elderly patient who's a frequent flier. he's awful, he's cruel, and the only two people in the ED he likes are Hux and Ben, so they end up having to work together more than either would like, as Snoke's health declines. Does Ben try to ignore a DNR? maybe? does he terrorize the other nurses to the point that they refuse to do anything for him, and ben spends fifteen minutes on one poor teenage boys blood draw, because he's only found a vein like three times? definitely. Is there a mass casualty event, because those are always a plot point on hospital shows? it is now, and you'll never guess who wasn't working that day and comes in half delirious on a stretcher, because you guessed it itS HUX (coming back I've decided he was running a race and there was a shooting because I put plenty of my own nightmares into fan fiction and this would just be another.)
and ben obviously realizes in those moments, as he looks at hux in the hospital bed, heading into emergency surgery, how much he relies on that voice, how much he's been leaning on Hux's years more experience, how much he's been undervaluing that resource. And hux gets through surgery while Ben is having to help other patients and trying not to lose his mind, he gets admitted to a room and when he wakes up from anesthesia, who would happen to be sitting in his room, passed out after a 14 hour shift still in his scrubs but Ben solo, a cold cup of tea that was smuggled in sitting on his bedside table.
and Ben keeps visiting hux, although Hux doesn't know why. He assumes it's guilt, of some sort, and figures he can take advantage of it to get the good snacks from the vending machine, but he comes back to work and Ben is still nice? And at this point, it's getting confusing, but he just keeps letting it happen, because he's decided it's preferable to Ben from before, but in some ways, it's not, because he starts to miss some of the venom, and he can't figure out why, until he realizes that oh no he hates Ben but he was also 100% flirting and that's a terrible idea, they work together it would end so poorly
But ben won't stop looking at him with his big doe eyes and eventually hux breaks and kisses him, and ben's confused? and then hux is confused, because what was this all about if Ben didn't have a crush on him, but he flees the break room and goes home and ignores all the calls to his phone and shows up to his next shift and tries to pretend that nothing happened.
At which point another one of the nurses all but slaps ben over the head for being so dumb and then they bone i guess? I created most of this plot in the last five minutes so it needs some refinement but I just need one for the nurses tbh. THIS ONE IS FOR THE NURSES it's for every nurse that's ever been nice to me and also my friend tyra

Heylo here! I came here for the valentine special (HELPP)
I’m Joey, he/him pronouns, transgender lithromantic, leo, adhd (self-diagnosed but for a good reason)
PERSONALITY: im a pretty chill and easygoing person, i like to rant about my interests a lot and I’m pretty good achiever im very focused but im also pretty lazy person when i feel burnt out, i prefer to be alone when working but then i would really want to work with others, i don’t talk a lot and im very bad at communicating and I’m scared that Ill say something wrong and get weird looks, im more like a person who has a Ena Shinonome Personality but anyways I also like to make sexual jokes when im completely comfortable when im with a person, at first I am a very Awkward person so I would probably have to get to know the person a little more before I can be myself around them
I have severe anxiety so it’s hard for me to feel like im normal because I feel like people judge me for being me. I’m afraid of what they think about me when they see me or talk to me. I do not like rude people at ALL. I am a very kind person and when someone starts being rude to me I throw hurtful insults that I don’t mean because they made me snap so I don’t know how to control myself afterwards. Also I don’t know how to comfort people. I just don’t know how and I’m afraid I’ll mess up and make them feel worse.
LIKES:
I love the color black a lot. Including with other darker colors. And I do like lighter colors like blue, green, red, yellow, etc, I like romance and dark genre’s, i love reading manga/books and watching stuff too, and I absolutely love music i wouldn’t know what to do with my life if there wasn’t music, i also like theater and musicals, i also love gaming a lot bc I have a lot of games, i like rhythm games the most, i also love lemon demon/neil cicierega in general, i love being with my online/irl friends a lot, i love hotels too and I like eating bread and my favorite animal is a shark, im also a goth/medalhead! and i play the electric guitar everyday
DISLIKES:
negitive mentions of my voice, comparing me to people/saying stuff like "you remind me of ____", also spiders like good god no. i dislike very rude people, hot weather, talking on the phone and I think that’s it.
also im on with pretty much anyone romantically and platonically as well, so just have fun with this request :) thank you!
I honestly love your request ♡ so thanks for sending me one! + you're the first one without a preference too!
For your platonic match up, I'm pairing you with. . .
Gyomei Himejima »
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's nothing wrong you can say to him, and its fine if you're bad at communication or talking. He's fine with silence while you hang out, and he always seems to know what you mean anyway
not an ounce of judgement in his body
like if you don't want to, he'll just talk about anything until you're comfortable, or do the opposite and listen to you if you needed to vent to him
for someone who's 7'2 and intimidating to look at, he's the complete opposite and so understanding
he's always genuine, honest and kind
he doesn't compliment much, so when he does you can be sure he means it, especially your taste and talent in music
he loves listening to you're interests and day by the way. hearing you speak so passionately about the things you love makes him smile
And for your romantic match up, I'm pairing you with. . .
Mitsuri Kanroji »
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
would also be a great friend first, and she's friendly to everyone
she's honest and very open about how she feels, so there's literally nothing she can hide from you
(if you wanted or worried about what she thought of you she'd tell you, regardless)
she loves everyone. and your preference not to talk is nothing short of p e r f e c t i o n to her. she thinks its adorable beyond belief.
honestly, in a relationship with you she's always giddy and smiling about everything
mitsuri and sexual jokes would have her crying with laughter + red with embarrassment
she compliments everyone in her head, and being her partner isn't an exception
she can't lie either, so every single compliment she gives you she means with her whole heart
adores your art and goth music
gushes at you when you're drawing or playing your electric guitar (she loves western things, and it would be so new and exciting!)
borrowing her romance books
and seeing a musical with her would be such a lovely date idea
she'd ask you out to dinner, either afterwards or for a first date
and she's a great cook! would probably sneak in snacks to you while you were busy or playing games
its never boring with her around either, with her bubbly personality and clumsiness, i'm sure you'd always have something to do
she loves planting little butterfly kisses to the tip of your nose + especially your lips
hugs and hand holding too ♡ (will squish you pretty hard so be warned)
you'll probably hear 'i love you' from her everyday
imagining the two of you dancing together is ♡
Tumblr media
there you go! thank you again and i hope you liked your match up! + i think mitsuri would hate spiders too (same), so i'm pretty sure between you and mitsuri, a spider would win

Obey Me Brothers Playing The Stanley Parable
Warnings: Spoilers for The Stanley Parable and The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe (Trust me, it's better if you go in blind) Mentions of suicide (the zending), swearing
The crossover no one asked for! I've recently gotten into TSP, and the brainrot is real. So I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and give headcanons for how the older brothers would play this game. (I might do the younger 3 later.) It's worth mentioning if you don't know The Stanley Parable, specifically the ultra deluxe update, this post will probably make literally no sense...so...sorry. I think I've added all the right warnings, but if I should add some please let me know. I'm also on mobile, so if formatting is weird I'm sorry.
(Was this an excuse for me to add as many TSPUD references in one post as possible? Maybe...)
-Ethereal
Lucifer:
Doesn't realize the bucket is something you can interact with
Also doesn't listen to the narrator whatsoever
Winds up in the warehouse and jumps onto the catwalk
He picks the blue door over and over until the narrator literally forces him to choose the red one. (This old man didn't realize the door was literally right behind him.)
He doesn't stay in the lights room for long and heads for the stairs
He jumps 4 times in a row, not bothering to go back to the lights room in between.
I honestly feel like he'd be cackling the whole time (You heartless bastard!)
Probably only plays it once, that was a satisfying ending for him. (Bro 😭)
Mammon:
Somehow realizes the bucket is something to interact with right away
Mammon 🤝 the bucket
They're literally besties
He listens to the narrator at first and goes through the left door
Then he finds the broom closet
He tried the door but didn't really expect it to open
When the narrator said there was nothing there, he almost left, but you made him stay.
Unfortunately the broom closet detour made him realize that funny things happen when you disobey the narrator
So instead of going up the staircase, he went down
He got the insanity bucket ending, and he thought it was freaking hilarious.
He definitely plays a few more times, but never gets the freedom ending.
He just wants to disobey the narrator-
Leviathan:
Obeys the narrator very well :D
He knows he can always start the game over afterwards, so he figures he ought to follow the instructions on his first run.
And he does a very good job up until the mind control facility.
He decided to press the 'on' button instead.
He did it for the lolz.
In his defense, he didn't really think it was going to do anything.
Oh boy was he wrong
Despite what the narrator is saying during his countdown monologue, Levi is still running around and trying to deactivate the detonation.
It doesn't work (because it literally can't) and he gets blown to smithereens.
Rip Levi Stanley
Immediately says "THAT WAS SO COOL" and boots the game up again
Satan:
He was going around the office, touching every little thing, but it didn't make a single difference, nor did it progress the story in any way.
Until he clicked the bucket and picked it up.
Well, he didn't really mean to do that, but you can't put it back down...so...it's bucket time!
Disobeys the narrator 2.0
Except he stays on the cargo lift
He answers the phone and ends up in the apartment with the bucket
I feel like the entire time he plays that scene  he just slowly looks more and more horrified
Artistic recreation: ^-^ --> °-°--> ○-○ --> ○0○
(I think the art world will really take notice.)

does he have any hobbies? preferred ways to pass the time when he's not on a job?
Because of the nature of his work, namely the fact that anyone can call him at pretty much any time (and for the right amount of cash, they won't be cussed out when any time translates to ungodly hour of the night), his free time is kept as such - free. If he has to pack up and catch a flight, he can't be screwing around with X or Y. But, that said, he doesn't devote every waking moment to work. He knows better. All work and no play makes Jordi a dull boy, and all that mess, so he's got a few things to fall back on for entertainment and relaxation in the time he grants himself.
Some are just little things that he'll pick up on occasion, often out of convenience. If he's sitting quietly and staring at his phone for extended periods of time, he may be catching up on something he'd been previously reading, or messing with a Sudoku puzzle, or playing some mindless game. It's not uncommon for him to take himself (and, possibly a friend) out for a nice dinner, or sit at home and put a show or movie on TV to watch for ten minutes and then use as background noise while he does literally anything else...but those are pretty basic and sporadic, reserved for killing time on the occasional lazy day. As far as he is concerned, they barely count as hobbies, though they certainly do pass the time.
The major, consistent ones, though? The ones he'll hit up whenever possible when he's got some down time?
Jordi is an art lover. Dealing with both rich clients and targets alike exposed him to a variety of differing artists, styles, pieces, and whatnot, and he quickly discovered not only an eye for it, but an appreciation for it. One might catch him perusing a gallery if he's got a free afternoon, especially if that gallery is one he hasn't visited before...in which case, no one's going to see him 'til staff kicks him out at closing time, because he's just going to have a field day wandering around and get lost among the paintings and statues.
He's rather athletic. Kinda going with the above, we've established that he's undoubtedly a martial artist, and on occasion, someone might find him hitting a gym that contains a kickboxing ring, or at least a dedicated area for such things. But, there's also days when he wants to be left alone to do his thing, so taking a nice long run along the city streets isn't out of the question.
It isn't uncommon to find him at a shooting range, honing skills, taking the edge off a bad day, or just killing ......... time. Weaponry - guns, knives, etc. - is absolutely his thing. He has to know that stuff for his job, true, but there's some enjoyment that comes out of it, and while he's not a collector or anything like that, he does enjoy playing with them, or bragging about ones he has had/can get, particularly those that are powerful, or rare.
Old muscle cars. Nothing is more satisfying than restoring one of those beauties to her former glory - not by his own hands, of course. The nitty gritty parts of it isn't really his thing. Oh, no, he'll either pay for someone else to do it, or bully them into it to repay a favor and dictate the progress, but when the job is done? When he can look at the before and after pictures in awe, and drive that beast down the highway? When he can slap a big ol' price tag on her and sell her -- or claim her for himself? Now that's the good stuff.

Studying with them - demon brothers
Ya girl, Bee (me) is studying so this is how it would go trying to study with them
LUCIFER
So very studious
He's literally so intimidating
He would be wearing glasses and reviewing his notes and work
100% wears glasses with the blue light filters
Constantly checks up on you, "do you need help MC?"
He's very smart and he can teach
So organized
MAMMON
Firrstly you need to take his phone away else you are getting nothing done
If you don't he'll be super distracted AND distract you as well
Worst at studying
If you take his phone away, he'll still find something to distract him and he will interrupt you constantly because he's bored or because he needs help
Don't even try to study with him, this is the conclusion
Unless you're tutoring him (he needs all the help he can get)
LEVIATHAN
He doesn't believe in studying as he could rather be playing games
He's one of those people that passes without studying
The one time he tried to study with you, he got super distracted and constantly interrupted you at the worst time
He felt bad so he never wanted to study with you again
SATAN
Don't even try to ask him for help because he would be absorbed in his studies that he wouldn't even look up
Very strict with timetables and sticking to his study schedule
The only thing that can distract him is a cat
Even when he does try to help you study, he isn't the best at explaining concepts so...
ASMODEUS
Has the prettiest notes
Posts on a study blog
He can help to some extent but the most he can actually do is share his notes
He does ask a lot of questions
Most of the time has a tit-for-tat type of game
Kisses for every correct answer he gets
BEELZEBUB
He has a bowl of snacks
If you try to comment he'll say, "brain food. My brain needs food to work"
Will share his snacks
Sometimes he'll try to toss it into you mouth and he will pout if he misses or if you don't catch it
Sometimes if you aren't paying attention, he'll feed you because he's bored and he thinks you look hungry
BELPHEGOR
"MC, we should take a nap before we study!"
He will study but that doesn't mean he won't take a break every 15 minutes and say, "actually it's very good to sleep! Naps can help with long term retention of information!"
I kinda want a study buddy... sadly I would be 100% distracting and would not study :(
anyway, hope you enjoyed!
send me a prompt if you like
bee :)

Elu aren’t dating yet and Eliott is hanging out with the gang and they’re playing a game where they say would you do this if you got... something for it, like would you slap Arthur for 20€, and when somebody asks Lucas “Would you date Eliott f-“ he doesn’t let them finish and says yes immediately, please?
They are good, Lucas tries to remind himself of it. They just grew apart, life happened, and that was that. There was nothing that happened that could hurt whatever they had in the past, their old feelings and history.
It was also very obvious to him that, no matter how well things ended - as well as they could given it was still a break up - they couldn’t be just friends. The feelings had dissipated into something else, but Lucas and Eliott could never be best friends and only best friends. They tried but it wasn’t going to work it out.
Lucas is too jealous, Eliott is too simplistic. Where Lucas sees a million problems, Eliott finds a solution that’s too practical. Some distance was needed, even though extremely painful after being constantly together for almost four years. It took some time, many relapses but they managed to find somewhere in the middle where it was comfortable for both of them.
Lucas never stopped missing Eliott, missing them, but it got easier. When he admitted to himself that Eliott was the love of his life, and that nobody else would ever be as loved by him as Eliott was, it became easier to get involved with some people for a few months, sometimes a whole year.
He let himself go a little bit, got rid of some of the control he tried to have over his feelings and just learned to live with it. So they’re okay these days. They can hang out, talk about random things, sometimes even talk in private and not throw themselves into each other.
“I like the beard look, how long have you been trying to grow that? Six months?”
Lucas shows him the middle finger, scanning Yann’s fridge in search of something to eat but it’s basically a literal blank canvas, nothing inside that he can use.
“Look who’s talking. Mister patch face.”
Eliott doesn’t laugh but Lucas doesn’t need to look at him to know he’s smiling at least. He walks to the kitchen door and checks if everyone is happy to eat pizza tonight. Lucas only gets a few headshakes because Arthur, Yann and Baz are too busy with the video game, happy to not have their girls around so they can be dumb boys all over again.
“You still like cheese?” Eliott asks, already scrolling through his phone. Lucas checks him out while he’s busy, and he nods his head, knowing Eliott knows the answer anyway.
Sometimes Lucas regrets being the one to make it happen, even though they were bound to break up anyway. Eliott tried to argue with him and Lucas wishes he had given up because it’s annoying to still feel this attracted to him, feeling like Eliott is just waiting for him to admit the break up was a bad, an uncalled decision Lucas made. But he tries to remember they grew up a lot after their break up, so it was worth something. He knows Eliott had his affairs but never a relationship again but he still feels the desperate need to ask, just to hear some soft spoken, raw answer that he doesn’t want a relationship. And he would look at Lucas in that intense way of his that would be the silent addition, letting them both know that he doesn't want one only because Lucas doesn’t want them back together.
Lucas coughs to control himself, stealing Eliott’s bee that he left on the counter to find them some pizza. Eliott looks at him instantly, and laughs quietly while Lucas takes some pride in still feeling like Eliott actually likes him.
During the long, painful months right after the break up, Lucas thought Eliott would grow up. Not only as himself, become someone more mature and certain, but to grow out of love. He spent way too many nights dramatizing that, training himself to be okay with the realization that he was right, and that Eliott could move on quickly.
But he does feel calmer, a little more reliable. It used to feel like a constant marathon, like Eliott was always running to find something, a high that he wasn’t even sure what it was. And Lucas thought it would settle once Eliott had finally found the “love of his life”, and when it didn’t, he felt like maybe he wasn’t the one.
“Hm, hello…?” A voice asks right next to Lucas’ ear, and he jumps, afraid that whoever it is, was more than close enough they could hear his thoughts about how much he still loves Eliott.
“Fucking hell, Baz!”
“Oh, did I scare you, Luc? I’m so sorry, my friend!” He holds Lucas’ face with both his hands, squishes a little, and kisses his ear, and Lucas slaps his hands, trying to get rid of him.
“Luc?” Eliott quietly asks him, and Lucas tries to keep a safe distance from Basile, clearly a little too high for his own good.
“What do you want?” Lucas asks Baz, needing him to leave them alone in the kitchen again just so they can go back to quietly flirt…
“Hm, we” he points to his chest and to both his sides like Yann and Arthur are standing next to him, “made a bet. And I was given the mission to find out who wins.”
“Okay…?” Lucas feels when Eliott steps closer to him - and to Baz, to hear more about whatever bet.
“We have three prices, okay? And we wanna see who got closer…” Baz looks behind him at the living room where the other two are probably waiting anxiously. “How much would we have to pay to see an Elu kiss again?”
“Shut up, Basile!” Lucas feels like opening a hole and hiding inside of it. They’re way too old for these types of jokes, and those three were more than vocal about how tired they were of hearing Lucas’ cries and complaints after the break up so it’s extremely rude they would even ask something like that now that they think it’s okay to make fun of it.
“No! No! Come on, Luc, let me hear the options I have, at least.” Eliott puts his hand on Lucas’ shoulder.
“What? No. No!”
Baz smiles big, standing on his tiptoes with excitement, “Okay. Yann said 10. I think 30, and Arthur said Lucas is too proud so 60.”
Before Lucas can argue, and get extremely mad at his best friends, he feels soft, warm, well known lips press hard against his, two hands quickly finding their ways to the back of his neck, keeping him in place.
He wants it to last forever, he wants to wrap his arm around Eliott’s neck, pull him closer, just kiss him for hours but he’s too aware of what’s going on, and that Baz is still there, silently screaming.
“Yann will lose his mind!” Baz whispers, squeezing both their shoulders when they stop kissing, still looking at each other, way too close and too out of it to respond to Basile before he leaves.
Eliott laughs shyly, still pressing his fingertips against Lucas’ neck.
“I can’t believe they think I would need money to kiss you.”
“Stop…” Lucas hears himself say a little too low, too shy and overwhelmed. He wants to walk away so he can go back to being a working human, but Eliott kisses him again. Just a soft, long touch of lips but still, takes Lucas’ breath away anyway, every time.
“I miss this.”
“I miss you too.” He gives in, looking at Eliott, finally, and he smiles wider, actually kissing Lucas after way too many years.
