damn i hate you for writing that oikawa angst like my heart hurt a lot and that letter? i cried, i literally cried in the middle of my English lecture bye this is pain a lot of pain i didn't ask for when at 9:47 in the morning specially when we were analyzing a sad poetry called Dark House by Tennyson.
aND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING IT OUT SO BEAUTIFULLY??? buckle up bubs, this will be a long ride.
ok so in the first part, i love how you expressed the more cheerful side of the relationship? like, how perfect everything was or maybe for the reader how perfect everything is. and that 'he cheated on you' really hit the spot. it was like, those 4 words to end a chapter that was so sweet in the beginning amaya big brain energy.
aND THE THE PAIN IN THE SECOND PART ONWARDS OMFG honestly idk i'm over exaggerating but personally, i think that really hurt me. bcz i expected an explanation, why oikawa cheated. did he fall out of love? was the other girl better? i expected those cliché excuses as i'm used to see in other fics. but then you really said nah amie, you're being clowned and then pull up the 'he said i love you, he didn't say i'm in love with you' card.
that was a minimal but important detail and i love how the whole story revolves around that. it actually describes how loving someone, and being in love with someone are completely different things.
and don't even get me started on the letter. i was in the middle of english lecture and then i started crying??? i'm so glad my camera of off. i don't have much to say here bcz i'm not sober lol i'm writing this with half teary eyes, running off coffee while working out physics lmfao but i'm in love with your word selection. just the right words to explain a single emotion <333
lowkey stabilized in part 4 because yes, but it hurt to read that tooru did that camera thingy and then the reader watched his matches. wanna see how the last part turns out omg
to sum it up, this is just an ask as a req. to add me in the taglist of this masterpiece 😌✋
AMIE!! I WANT TO PUT THIS WHOLE ASK ON A POSTER AND HANG IT UP IN MY ROOM WHAT. YOU'RE SO SWEET AND KIND OMG ILY. I WILL THINK ABOUT THIS ASK EVERY DAY NOW AHH
wait fr you cried?? 🥺🥺 aw bub sorry for the pain i will give consolation hugs heheh
HAHA when i was writing the end of part one i was like 'ooo cue the dramatic music'
AHH when you replied to my post earlier saying you felt pain and hadn't read part 2 yet i wasn't sure if i should warn you that part 2 hurt me more akjdkshd. FR THO I CRIED WRITING PART 2 OMG. AND MORE THAN ONCE. all your commentary in this ask has me freaking out omg
i get so soft when people say they actually felt things from the letter!! cause writing it was a struggle to try and put myself in his shoes akdjskd but the reception part three got exceeded my expectations and it makes me so sensitive AHH
OFC I WILL ADD YOU TO THE TAGLIST <33
pls i am so appreciative that you took time out of your day to write this up and send to me 💓💓 it's hard to put into words how i feel but ty for the support bb
#did i tear up reading this ask??#m a y b e 🤸♀️🤸♀️#did i also reread it MANY times??#also m a y b e 🤸♀️🤸♀️#ty ty amie ❣❣#amaya chitter chatters#amie 🖤

Saying random stuff to feed into the hyperfixations; pick one of these statements to rant about because I wanna read :)) if u want,
How skeppy must feel with everyone meeting up cause BaD JUST COME ON ,
Opinions on bad planning to take skeppy to dinner and all that jazz ,
Skeppys newest video on the skep channel where bad and skeppy are surprisingly sweet to eachother (and how lately in general bad has been less angee with him) ,
Literally the whole discount skeppy situation , bad being literally in love,
Ride with U,,,,,hetero,,,,explanation,,,, anywhere?
ANONNNNN I OWE YOU MY LIFE ILY
im literally going to talk about all of these so im sorry but read more at your own risk
one: skeppy, i am so sorry a mf does this to you. but seriously, i can only think of a few reasons (that dont sound entirely made for fanfic) that bad keeps putting off meeting skeppy
1. (the most unlikely) theyve already met and they keep the bit going so the fans dont find out. i can get that they wouldnt want to tell at first because its their own business, but i seriously doubt they would wait very long to confirm it, because ppl honestly can put a lot of pressure and hype on the meetup (esp with skeppy’s “surprise”) so i think theyd release something just so everyone knew that it finally happened! they didnt lie!
2. bad just doesnt want to meet skeppy (actually nvm this is the most unlikely)
bad seems to be genuinely excited to meet skeppy, even claiming skeppys the one to keep putting it off, not him (which skeppy immediately disproved but) and saying over and over he wants to meet up with him, but always avoiding actually making plans (every single tweet about the meetup) so its clear he does want to meet skeppy eventually, which makes trying to figure out why he wont even harder
3. its not the right time/ waiting for a specific date
leading up to this, i was thinking that there was a pretty good chance theyd meet up on their anniversary, but that never happened rip. the issue is with this is that they guaranteed they would meet up before the end of the year, and at this point theres only one “event” left, but they still dont seem to have any plans to meet. if bad was waiting for the perfect time to do it, why not just tell skeppy to confirm a meetup date? it would get him (and maybe the fans, if they told them) off his back. another variant of this is that there is a set date, but they havent told the public, but again, skeppy seems to be just as much in the dark about this as everyone else
4. health issues
bads apparently been feeling pretty under the weather lately, with his arm and kidney stones, its very plausible (and reccomended, imo) that bad doesnt want to travel when hes having these problems. of course, skeppy could visit, but he could either not want to spend their time together sick or the plans they have could also be too straining. i think this is probably one of the most likely atm, go see a doctor bbh im begging you
5. bads nervous
this is also one of the more plausible to me. for whatever reason, bads just anxious about it, whether it wont be the same as talking online, or be super awkward or whatever, he could just keep putting it off for that (its still weird and kinda doesnt make sense but in a more realistic way this time)
i know i totally went off track but this brings me to my point, skeppys kinda just waiting for bads confirmation at this point, so seeing his friends have fun meeting up is probably just lowkey depressing and i could see him using it as more the reason they should meet up. really the only thing he can do in this situation(at least, as far as i can tell) is what he has been doing, annoy bad about it or he take advantage of bads jealousy and meet up with someone else. the other option is to randomly come to his house, but it doesnt seem like skeppy is gonna do that, maybe to respect his boundaries? if he was planning on it i think he wouldve done it by now
OKAY NUMBER TWO LETS GO
this kinda ties into my point in the “reasons why bad wont meet skeppy” thing, that bad seems really excited to meet him yet still wont?? its clear he really values any time spent with skeppy, but he also make sure skeppys having a good time too! that why he never does any actual work with skeppy around (i.e. building statues or gathering materials for such), he knows its boring so instead theyll wander around the server telling stupid stories or punching each other off stairs for 20 minutes. im sure itll be the same irl, he mentioned wanting to meet somewhere like a nature reserve or amusement park, probably to make sure theres never a dull moment or time wasted. dinner seems much more low-key, and i wouldnt be surprised if bad just wanted to have an excuse to try and impress him with a nice totally-platonic date
NUMbeR tHree *airhorns*
they really do be the best of friends! ive noticed that skeppys def been trying to halt arguments fairly quickly now, saying a lot to appease bad and move on, and while bad seems to like to start fights for fun, hes also been a lot more chill lately, im guessing because hes been oh-so desperately missing skeppy and big s was also in Baby mode (aka if bad disagreed with him hed probably just cry until he got his way((sand))) i think that vid just showed them being a lot more natural and happy to talk (plus bad usually is more argumentative when theyre competing, while in that vid they were either just hanging out or working towards a common goal)
n u m b e r f o u r
where to even BEGIN with discount skeppy. well, bad actually first came up this idea a few months ago, in either july or august on an idots smp stream when he crafted an ‘artificial skeppy’ in his snack shack that he could talk to whenever skeppy was gone. as we all know idots smp is now rip, but the idea of replacement skeppys remained, just this time they can talk and also ship skephalo. it actually seemed like more of puffys idea at first when she put on skeppys skin as a joke, which bad didnt like the first few times, but when she brought it up again he actually requested it (missing skeppy brainrot 🤔?) this could be either cuz bad wanted to bait some shippers so gave in or he thought it was a pretty funny bit so went along with it (or he actually missed skeppy that much.. surely not ??) either way i think we can agree puffy is not only a comedic genius but a top tier friend and slight wingman, and getting some good jealous skeppy content out of it is also top tier. in conclusion, love and appreciate discount skeppy, badboyhalo has only skeppy on his brain and his friends have to deal with that, hoes (skeppy) mad even though the whole bit is how much bbh is into him
NUMBER FIVE im really doing all of them
What, can be said, about ride with u. GODDAMN. im not tryna insinuate anything, but if someone told me that song reminded them of me i would have no choice but to marry them immediately. i really really want someone to ask bad what songs remind him of any of his other friends (dream, sapnap, george, ant, puffy, etc.) because there are three options
1. theyre just cool platonic friend songs and bad is just in love with skeppy
2. he cant think of any songs for them and bad is just In Love with skeppy
3. they have equal romantic undertones and bad is just Like That with his friends (even so i bet people would be picking out the most minute differences between the songs that make one more.. You Know than the other)
i know FOR SURe that if i was in bads position (where even the person who made the lyric video assumed they were gay in love) i wouldve curled into a ball and never made another public appearance again, but he really owned that shit, singing it and making unprompted references to it (”i already have a bonnie” YOU AINT SLICK SIR WTF)
i just wanna know if skeppys listened to it (i mean, hes surely at least heard of it, i know he wouldve seen it all over his timeline) and what he thonks about it. pls tell us big s do you also feel the love in this chilis tonight (ALSO when is someone gonna ask skeppy what song reminds him of bad. im waiting ((hed probably say something like a faster remix or something equally memey (((unless???)))
ANYWAY SORRY FOR MAKING YOU READ ALL OF THAT HOLY SHIT i dont wanna reread this to check for errors so it might be incoherent but again ty for letting me infodump about this it was super fun im in love with you anon

oh hello dear u bet ur ass i can i mean jfc how could i not what is this nonsense i’m shooketh to my core
thank u dearest anons for expressing literally all the moods on this one lmao let’s go
throbbers dan u are well aware what that sounds like
see the cute thing is i think they went into the vid with the intent of it being like lmao fun cute wholesome which is sweet but like this is dapg they should know better
‘phil’s got his guns out’ nobody asked dan???? i mean we love em just as much as u tho
any time dan says ‘this is gonna be a whole thing’ u know it gon b gay
we stan air quotes around ‘for girls’
‘a whole big box of yikes right here’ did u mean: dnpgames
dan always looks immensely soft in that jumper??
hi excuse me where’s phil’s heartthrob card bc like damn
sned hlep
dan adds ‘apparently’ to stuff when he’s like actually genuinely unsure/uncomfy/feeling awkward this has been a psa
‘choose your favorite on looks alone’ i mean same phil
“‘fast food freak’ that person might have my heart” / “i’m a fast food freak” i mean honestly ‘you and dan are so married’/’it’s a useful thing’ is quaking, i would bang voldemort whomst? idk her
phil absolutely roasting dan, fast food freak and has to be the center of attention i mean we been knew but phil out here exposing him
they both like,,,,,,,enjoy looking at buff lads but wouldn’t actually be like Genuinely into them ofc bc they’re both fuckin noodles and they love each other
‘toot toot hello’ dan,,,,,stop
look boys i know y’all only have eyes for each other but like u don’t have to come up with stories/reasons why every single guy is actually creepy or terrifying
hi i now demand dan posing as bobby and phil posing as richard, complete with the tank top for dan and the glasses/sweater combo for phil
it’s always about the kinks isn’t it
the fuckin yodeling pickle why why is that a reference
dan’s idea of school dancing being grinding and phil’s just straight up like
dan’s ‘oh phil’ catch me fucking sobbing why is he so soft for his man
dan having like a paragraph-long explanation for why he thinks phil chose the person he chose, where phil’s just like ‘lmao p sure u picked this one eh’
OH MY GOD NO EXCUSE ME PHIL U MADE THIS DECISION BC U THINK DAN’S A THIRSTY HOE WHO WOULD FULLY JUDGE ON LOOKS AND PICK THE SEXIEST-LOOKING PERSON
‘the night leads somewhere a nice pg peck on the cheek’ mhm yeah okay lads we all know what ur idea of ‘a night together’ ends with so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
someone save me why do they have to look This Good
granny is not a reference i wanted or needed thanks bye
i love that they both thought it was cute that richard was a tuba player
and then ofc they went the whole ‘it’s sexual’ route what is wrong with them guys guys guys ik this might come as a shock but not everything is sexual okay
(hi dear anon! basically there’s a whole stigma abt band camp being like where all the teens hook up n stuff just a weird culture thing)
dan sees phil in richard and that’s why he keeps trying to defend all the cute lil awkward things and u cannot convince me otherwise
like if they did another round with ‘who would u like want to marry’ dan would pick richard them’s just the facts
phil’s ‘i’m not messing around/lying/fucking with u (but i actually am lmao)’ face
dan guessing all of phil’s right is a mood i mean that boy has to keep up his phil trash status
dan’s doing that ‘top or bottom, phil’ face to the camera bc it says girlfriend and he’s trying to Make A Point by staring
stop they’re so cute look i can’t
‘that is a game changer’ dan had richard pegged as his endgame but now he’s got a Project to work on with bobby, u bet ur ass he didn’t go into his current relationship feeling like Super Confident and maybe felt like phil looked at him as a project or someone to fix n he never experienced that n so is that his way of projecting or smth idk but i think it’s Very Interesting
‘he’s just a lil jaffa cake’ phil ily but ur metaphors man ur metaphors need some work
twins
the final piece of the richard puzzle: “bumps into walls and trips over his own feet” dan: *internal screaming* oh my god it’s phil
this literally became ‘who do u want, the rich boy with a soft, sensitive side, the awkward but endearing nerd, or the unsettlingly strange guy who’s called ‘the lemon’’ and idk how i feel abt it
i do love that phil knew dan was moved by the ‘never been kissed’ thing
and then dan had to go on a full minute-long explanation for his actual reasoning bc nothing is ever simple with him and i love him but he a complex boye and everything he does he either puts a massive amt of thought into or literally none at all he has no concept of moderation
phil straight up attacking dan ‘u like fancy things boy u ain’t slick i know u’
also phil relating furries to nudism as if they’re at all related i mean same dan same
(his actual reasoning was dan doesn’t like wearing clothes around the flat and that’s the tea)
‘u like his look’ ‘no i mean okay yes but that’s not the point okay’
i also feel like dan’s looking at this from the perspective of,,,,,an adult pretending to be a teen and applying what he knows now as an adult and like his life growth to his decisions even though he’s pretending he’s a teen,,,,,
also boi u literally got with ur husband at eighteen don’t pretend that meant u were an adult u were still So Young
bless phil for sounding offended at the idea of dan wanting to date someone as a project
hi dan ur fond is showing
‘you are not editing that out’ yes drag ur husband on camera i’m here for it
this felt important
bless them both for discussing the lack of diversity in the game & calling out the gender role issues, it’s always good to hear that
i’m sorry it’s ‘almost as sexual’ lads did y’all even watch the gwf vid???? i’m hard-pressed to come up with a more blatantly sexual vid y’all have ever made (and i don’t mean like higher on the fuck energy scale that’s another story i just mean like full of intentional innuendos)
honestly sometimes they Do Things and i’m like lmao they think they’re self aware they ain’t tho they know Nothing but like. sometimes

3.5 Ammucchiate
Here’s a masterpost of my thoughts on and reactions to 3.5 Ammucchiate, translated from this post, that I mostly compiled from my tweets from that day, because I had A LOT to say. They’re not properly in chronological order and I’ve added a couple of observations I made in hindsight at the end of the season.
While the girlsquad is singing “Bello e impossibile”, Emma sings along and she touches Marti’s shoulder to catch his attention and communicate to him something like “Hey, hear me out, I’m singing about you” but he’s impassive, then lowers the sunglasses to his eyes and doesn’t smile until his eyes are hidden by the lenses
“Bello e impossibile”, by the way, stops right when Emma says “Io adoro i gay”/”I love gay people”, so right at the beginning of Niccolò’s roast
So let’s talk about Niccolò roasting Emma: first thing he does is retract his arms from around Marti’s and Emma’s shoulders (breaking the united front of the three “disertori del terrazzo” he himself had established earlier), then he makes the most unimpressed face ever, then he quotes an extreme example that forces a polarization (“Tutti gli arabi sono terroristi”/”All Arabs are terrorists”; this is a bit of a fallacy, but it’s also a pretty smart move because it makes Emma sound homophobic by association and forces Marti to side with Nico in the event he needs to choose between the two of them), while he could have chosen as an example of generalising something like “All women are bad at driving”, which would have been closer to Emma’s personal experience, but also closer to a direct attack on her (therefore counterproductive if Martino had to pick sides)
Kudos to Niccolò for studying Greek and Latin rhetoric very well, and philosophy too, YAY FOR LICEO CLASSICO
Martino’s dumbstruck expression when he breaks away from kissing Emma, aka when he hears that Niccolò has gone to them and is talking to them. Marti, by the way, doesn’t smile at all during the rest of the conversation with Niccolò (whereas when he was alone with Emma he smiled most of the time, but with his eyes hidden by the sunglasses, which makes me think they were fake smiles)
(I do believe Marti’s positive reactions during the conversation about Apparat were genuine)
Niccolò Fares sitting on the couch between two people who were making out until a second before without an hint of shame, which means he not only positions himself near Marti and manages to put his arm around Martino’s shoulders, but he also physically separates his boy from his love rival Emma. An inspiration.
DID THEY REALLY HAVE TO USE ELIO of all possible names, in the year of CMBYN (I know the reference here is to Elio Germano, not Pearlman, but my brain only recognizes some types of references)
LATENT HOMOSEXUALITY did he really say that oh God help me
Can we talk about the way Niccolò says “homosexuality” in a normal way, the emphasizes “latent” stressing every syllable?
My heart hurts both because of Nico’s little speech about generalising and because of the way Marti and Emma just leave him alone on the couch
Niccolò looking at his hands, his smile disappearing and the corners of his mouth turning down
During Self Control, Martino doesn’t consider Covitti at all, she tries to get his attention dancing closer, putting her arms around his neck, turning his face to kiss him but 2 seconds later he breaks the kiss and even when she goes for his neck he completely ignores her (p.s.: and we know now that Marti actually likes “neck action” a lot so this is very significant)
This lasts until Niccolò starts watching him, of course, then Marti has to try and make him jealous(?)/show off(?)/follow some kind of weird mating ritual (?)
Martino doesn’t stop watching Niccolò even when he stops watching Marti
10 minutes standing ovation for Rocco Fasano’s eyes 🔥🔥🔥
So that was Martino in the Self Control scene, now let’s talk about Eva. Her expressions! At first she smiles, then she sees Marti with Emma and she stops smiling, she studies them, she notices Marti is distracted, then when they start making out she makes a face and turns away (p.s.: she’s definitely disappointed, because at this point the things she knows are 1) that Marti told her he likes her before the summer 2) he allegedly made her and Gio broke up because of that 3) he has gay porn on his phone 4) he hasn’t approached her and he turned her down just a couple of weeks before with an excuse, so up until now her working theory is that he’s gay, has a thing for Gio, lied to her cause he’s in the closet/in denial; except now? he’s kissing Emma? a girl? who’s not her? She feels confused and betrayed, a feeling that stays with her at least until 7.1 Era per lui)
Then there’s Federica, poor thing, heartbroken and for the completely wrong reason
Eva directing everybody to hide any and all evidence of the party is very me tbh
(except that if it was me and I sent one person out with the trash and he DOESN?T COME BACK AT ALL, I’d kill him? I mean, I appreciate the moment as a fan, but not as my group of friends’ designated problem-solver)
Martino and Emma freezing and not doing anything even after Eva yells “Regà che cazzo mi guardate, dai, dai!” and freaks out
Maddalena and Emma are shown while they do the same thing aka taking the red cloth off the lamps (and this details gives me feels that are entirely unreasonable given that I was about to link this detail to Schopenhauer’s Veil of Maya) (p.s.: I mean, there’s definitely a lot of symbolic meaning I couldn’t quite articulate at the time of the clip, because unveiling = revealing and this is the clip in which the boys reveal their mutual attraction beyond any doubt, plus it’s Emma and Maddi “eliminating” the red light which is so important for Marti and Nico’s relationship, it’s their thing for their most intimate moments)
“Elio” and “Colino” keep silent for 11 second after throwing the trash in the bins, 11 second of fidgeting, 11 second of I’m-looking-I’m-not-looking, 11 seconds of awkwardness, 11 secondi of disaster gay Marti not knowing whether to say something or not
BAM! Niccolò smiles, steals a joke from Emma and Martino starts smiling again for the first time since Nico arrived to the party, since he interrupted Emma to kiss her (and no glasses this time!)
COLINO
God, how sad is this pet name? The allergy pseudo-explanation is even worse, sorry Maddalena, you do you, but Colino is afwul
Martino: ”How long have you been together?”
Niccolò: "Since we were 16, but we’ve known each other since middle school. To be honest, we’re more like siblings than anything else. We haven’t fucked in, like, two months.”
Let’s analyze this answer: Niccolò gives the information Marti requested, adds a relevant qualifier, then an unnecessary qualifier and another even more unnecessary information (that’s unnecessary when compared with the literal content of the conversation, discounting the context, [which is Niccolò trying to justify his being with Maddalena while undressing Martino with his eyes at every chance to Marti himself])
Marti’s confusion when Nico says “But I can’t break up with her” breaks my hearts, just like the fact that despite everything he genuinely feels bad for Maddalena’s “hypertrichosis”
Seriously, what’s with Niccolò and feet? They’re part of the human body, let them live, or is always mentioning them with a negative connotation some kind of reverse psychology thing to tell the world you’ve got a fetish?
8:53 is the precise time at which Nico cracks and you can see just a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth AND MARTI SEES IT RIGHT AWAY I mean, with all the Nico-watching he does of course he’s carefully catalogued his every tiny change of expression and of course he can’t possibly not notice
So how much time will Martino lose trying to decide whether Niccolò was only joking about the hobbit feet thing, about the whole hypertrichosis thing or about the fact that he can’t break up with Maddalena, too?
That hint of hope and affection you can read in Nico’s eyes while he’s watching Marti right before he starts to move his pinky (thank you Rocco, ily)
My son Niccolò? who can’t stop smiling? when he’s alone with Marti? and who acts so brave??? going for his hand first????
Martino, you’re such a dumbass though, that’s a classic movie move and you look down like an idiot, look at the stars you can’t see instead, look at the street lamp!
Martino’s absolute lack of chill when he looks down towards their hands as sson as Nico touches him kind of makes me homicidal (because it breaks the convention a classic rom com scene), but it makes his answering, reciprocal move even more significant because it’s intentional (p.s.: over time, I actually got a different perspective on this? And I actually completely love it now, cause it makes sense for Marti, it makes sense for a teenager like him and it gives us a feel of disbelief over the whole situation he has to be feeling too cause that shit happens in movies alright, but not in RL, not to people like him, except it’s happening; on top of that, I love LudoBesse for breaking another stereotypical romantic trope and making our boys fucking FEARLESS - I mean, if something like that happened to me I’d be shitting myself and I would ignore it as hard as possible out of fear that if I pointed it out it would scare the other person away, but that’s me)
And then, a herd of mammoths DARES TO INTERRUPT MY CHILDREN you deserve the worst things, folks
Finally, I would just like to state for the record that I’m kind of disappointed Silvia’s 80s party only had 80s music, Eva and Silvia dressed up kind of eighties and a girl in a Madonna-ish outfit, stop
It’s a real shame, I have see no huge bows, no fluo tutus, no legwarmers, no oversized blazers with the big shoulders, no Memphis group style prints on sweatpants, no Puma-Fila-Kappa-Champions N O T H I N G WHERE’S FIORUCCI?

Boyfriend!Xiao Gui
Who: Xiao Gui / Wang Linkai [ Nine Percent ]
Word Count: 2705 Words
Genre: Fluff / AU
Request: Yes. “hey! could you please do the boyfriend thing but for xiao gui (nine percent)? thank you so much, i love your writings! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ “
Sorry this took a while, I typed it up, but forgot to save my draft and lost it all, then had to rewrite it. It’s not as long as the original was, but I wanted to get this out so you didn’t think we forgot about your request. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy t.his
You and Linkai had know each other for a while.
You met when you were young, became friends.
Like you know those two hella annoying kids that are best friends, that was you two.
Yet, it didn’t last long, after about four years one of your parents got a new job, causing you to have to move.
You had managed to keep in contact with Linkai until about a year ago.
He just stopped replying to you, you know around the time The Rap of China started.
It wasn’t that he was ignoring you, he just was a bit too preoccupied to pay attention to his phone.
You just assumed he no longer wanted to be your friend, since like why else would be ignore all your texts.
Once he was done with that, he started replying to you, coming up with some excuse about how he was on a trip without a phone.
You accepted it and you started talking again.
Yet, he soon quit replying to you, just a few months later.
And once again, without explanation, he just stopped replying.
You took that as a final goodbye, since why else would he stop replying to you again.
You just pushed him out of your mind, trying to forget about him, focusing on what mattered, your life.
It wasn’t until you were watching a show called Idol Producer, that you remembered him, since there was someone on there that looked just like him.
Yet, you knew it couldn't be him, since this person’s name was Xiao Gui.
Little did you know just how wrong you were.
It was him, yet, you didn’t realize it.
Honestly, it was kinda odd for you to watch this show that had someone that sorta looked like someone you knew on it.
You honestly found yourself supporting him for some reason, maybe it was just that he reminding you of Linkai, yet you aren’t sure.
While the show as airing, your parent got transferred back again.
To see the surprise on your old neighbor’s face when they realized it was you all once again, was honestly amazing.
Yet, when Linkai’s mom told you he wasn’t there and she didn’t know when he’d be back, that’s when your idea of you two still being friends finally died.
Despite that, you became close to his mom as you once were.
She honestly might as well had been your mom with how close you were to her.
After moving back, you just sorta stopped watching the show, being too busy to watch it.
A few weeks later, Linkai replied to your like five month old text, using the same excuse he used before, and you were like ‘yeah sure’.
You then left him on read, being petty like you are.
You carried on with your day as normal, not even bothering to read his future text, as he told you he was excited to be going home, especially since his mom told him they had a new neighbor moving in and because of the good news.
Honestly, you should have checked those text, but you didn’t, being petty, you know.
He had assumed his mom would probably had told you that he was on Idol Producer, but she didn’t, assuming he had told you.
Literally imagine your shock as he enters his house, his mom yelling my baby or something along those lines, and you see the guy that you vaguely remember supporting on Idol Producer before you quit watching it.
And imagine his shock seeing this beautiful person sitting at his kitchen table, having been conversing with his mother only moment before.
He honestly didn’t recognize you, mostly since he hadn’t really seen any photos of you since you two were like eight.
He was honestly shocked when his mom was like “Yeah, their mom/dad got transferred back, it’s your old best friend”.
Then he was immediately like “Why did you leave me on read?” since you know, priorities.
And you were like “Leaving you on read for just a few minutes doesn’t compare to you leaving me on read for what like six months.” you replied.
It was at that moment his mom was just like “It’s like nothing has even changed.”
But honestly a lot had, like here you were thinking your previously snot nosed best friend was somewhat attractive, and he was honestly thinking the same.
After his mom made both of you food, her saying that eating should be your priority before catching up, you found yourself sitting in his bedroom catching up.
He told you all about Idol Producer, making sure you understood the cellphone ban thing, since like you know he couldn’t have you pettily leaving him on read anymore.
He also told you about how he won, and you were like “Damn my untalented best friend is suddenly talented, what else has happened, are you taller than me now.”.
You two reconnected like you had never moved.
Unknown to either of you, your parents noticed too, even creating a little bet since they couldn’t resist it.
His mom thought you two would end up dating before the end of the year, while your mom/dad thought it wouldn’t happen since they knew how petty you could be and thought you wouldn’t forgive him that easily.
The two of you grew closer during the week or two he was home, well the time before he had to leave again.
You hated it admit it, but you found yourself falling in love with your best friend, and he found himself falling in love with you.
No longer were two just children.
He actually kept in contact with you this time, since he no longer had a phone ban, you know.
Through him, you found yourself somewhat friending some of the other members of Nine Percent, since Linkai created a gc and added you and then was like “Guys meet my best friend.” and also said some other embarrassing stuff before saying embarrassing stuff about his members and since you all knew each others embarrassing moments you just have to become friends.
Honestly, Xukun is the leader of the Linkai and you fanclub, it consist of him, Zhengting, Ziyi, and Linong.
Everyone else can tell you two like each other, except the two of you.
Xukun probably starts a group chat called ‘get Linkai and you together’ or something like that.
You and Linkai pretty much only have your phones as a way to talk since he’s so busy with all the Nine Percent stuff.
Yet Xukun and the others plan this event so that you can come meet them.
They claim it’s an event, but it’s really a date.
Once they come back to China, they put their plan in action.
Xukun would tell you to dress really nice since you’ll all be going out, he would also tell you the party name so that you can get to the table.
You’ll come to the place they told you to go, and it’s some fancy restaurant.
Once you tell them the party name that Xukun told you, you are lead back to some private booth in the back, and no one else is there.
After about five minutes of waiting, finally Linkai comes.
You both are surprised that the other eight aren’t there, so you text them.
All of them cancel and then Xukun sends you two a text like “Enjoy your date”.
You can also bet he had some smug smirk on his face after sending that, since his plan worked.
Linkai and you decide to just enjoy your dinner, and you honestly have a lot of fun.
You both found yourself going out again and again.
In the few dates it got to the point that your Nine Percent group chat was just like, “Just say you are dating, since that’s really what you are doing.”
And that's how you two ended up official deciding you were dating, by consensus of your group chat.
You two honestly wouldn’t have your first kiss until a few dates later.
He honestly just initiated the kiss after the older members of his group chat, the one without you, were like bro kiss them.
So you know, he did what his bros told him, and kissed you.
Honestly, I don’t see him as the type to kiss you often.
And if he does kiss you, it’s like a forehead peck or nose, not often your lips.
When he does kiss you on your lips, it’s maybe once a day, if even that, and he probably builds up to it.
Like it’s some huge romantic scene and all, and he builds up to it, since it’s probably the only time he’d kiss you that day.
If he kisses you more than once, it’s probably either a special day, or you are under some mistletoe he put around.
Even if he doesn’t celebrate Christmas, he’s gonna put a ton of mistletoe up just so he can catch you under it.
He probably also suggest mistlefoe so if two people that don’t want to kiss end up under it, they fight to the death, until you are like “Linkai no.” and he’s like “Okay babe.”
He’d be more one of those people that likes just casual skinship more than explicit displays of love.
He’d just casually hold your hand while you walk around town, or casually have his arm around your waist.
He’s totally that boyfriend that has his hand on the lower part of your back leading you through a store or something.
He is really one of those ride or die types of people, so don’t expect him to show you like big time affection, until he’s like completely sure you are the one.
Like he won’t say I love you until he’s 222% sure you are the one.
He would probably take like 2 years, if you are still willing to date him after that amount of time, he’s finally ready to say those three words.
He’d also say it casually the first time.
Like you’d be eating some take out chicken while watching a movie, and he just casually says “I love you” and you are sorta taken aback and he’s like omg do they not love me, but relaxes as you say “I love you too” back.
He also wouldn’t use those words often.
Like he would only say it on special days and stuff.
I feel like he probably is one of those people that things the overuse of the words make them lose their meaning.
He’d probably text to you daily like “good morning ily” but never fully say I love you out unless it’s a special day.
Also if when he says it, you aren’t ready, he wouldn’t pressure you to reply.
Even though he himself took a long time to say it, if you hadn’t said it, he wouldn’t pressure you about it, and would just be like “You can say it when you are ready.” since the last thing he wants is you to feel pressured.
And if you said it before him, he’d probably just tell you he isn’t exactly ready to say it, and hopes that you understand.
He values your opinion before everyone else's.
Like if Xingjie tells him something he wrote is okay, but you say you don’t really like it, he will completely restart what he’s doing.
Don’t expect him to help you with domestic task, he’s useless at it.
Like cleaning and cooking, just no.
He can hand you the things but him actually doing it, just no.
Like once you probably trusted him to vacuum and you came back 5 minutes later to a broken vacuum cleaner.
He also can’t be trusted to help you cook since fire and sharp things.
Like you can trust him to dry and put up the dishes and to taste test things, but that’s it.
Don’t trust him to do laundry either, he’d probably leave a red sock in the whites and your whites would turn pink.
Or he’d put way too much soap in it and it turns into some huge mess.
When he introduces you to the Gramarie boys, you can bet he’s gonna introduce Xingjie as Huba.
He probably also changes Xingjie’s contact information in your phone to Huba.
Xingjie probably takes ten minutes explaining to you his English name is J.Zen not Huba, and nor is his nickname Huba.
He wouldn’t like cliche normal dates.
Like he’d rather take you out at midnight to eat convenience store food rather than in the evening to a restaurant.
Takes you on late night walks through the park, since I feel he’d just prefer being out at that time rather than midday in the parks.
He’ll take you to the pet shop so you can play with the animals, while also making notes of what animals you like and don’t like for future reference.
He will go shopping with you, but don’t expect him to sugar coat things.
Like if you ask “Does this make me look fat?” he’s like “Yeah.” but then is like “Try this one on instead.” and hands you one that he thinks will look better, and it does.
Don’t expect him to be that boyfriend that buys you things.
It’s sorta half and half, either you pay for yourself or he’ll pay this time and you pay next time.
Yet, usually, you both just expect whoever invited the other out to pay.
Don’t trust him in the grocery store with you though.
You’ll leave with a cart full of things, and none of it is what you went in for.
99% of it is just things he likes and so he threw them in the cart.
It gets to this point you are having to limit him to 2 candies, not 6, yet tbh he just goes and gets them anyways and goes through the line and buys them himself.
Totally the type of boyfriend to just come home one day with a puppy or kitten and be like “I ain’t taking it back, it’s name is Ham”.
After you overcome the stupid name, rename it something cute, and play with it a bit, you’re like “Fine it can stay.”
Arguments are common with you two.
Sometimes they are over petty things, like him leaving his shoes in the middle of the floor, but other times they are over major things, like him highkey flirting with that girl in the supermarket despite the fact he didn’t realize he was flirting.
No matter the size of the argument, he’ll always spend a few days away from you after them.
To cool down and all, then he’ll come back.
He’d honestly just fear you’ll get into another argument and break up if he stayed.
Luckily arguments aren’t that common.
And if it was his fault, he will always apologize, expressing how sorry he is and all.
But if it’s your fault, he expects you to do the same and apologize, which you do.
Yet what is common, passive aggressive statements.
They rarely lead to arguments, but there are tons of passive aggressive statements from both of you.
His favorite names for you range from babe to your name.
He won’t be that creative with pet names.
Like he’d probably call you your old childhood nickname, despite how stupid it is.
And you’d probably call him his childhood nickname in return, despite how stupid it is.
Can and will prank you.
You’ll be married for years and he’ll still be pulling pranks on you.
He will total do something like put a bucket of water under a door he knows you’ll walk through, but then walk through it himself.
Often his pranks either work just as planned or backfire on him.
More than often they backfire on him, but that doesn’t stop him.
He’ll do anything to hear you laugh, even if it has to come from his prank backfiring.
Honestly, he wouldn’t show his affection that openly, but he would love you dearly.
And in the end, your parent/s did lose that bet since you were petty, but not that petty.

The Sand In Your Shoe (pt 7)
Ian waited and waited.
For the first week, his heart rushed into his throat whenever a text message came through and he couldn’t seem to get his phone out of his pocket without fumbling it.
After two weeks, he stopped putting it into a baggy whenever he wanted to shower for fear of missing a call.
After three weeks, he made himself turn it off at night so that he wouldn’t be in a constant state of waiting.
He went back to the Alibi to talk to Svetlana and she told him Mickey would either call or he would not. It was probably the least helpful conversation Ian had ever had.
He tried to call Mandy, feeling shitty that he was calling after all this time just to get hold of her brother, but the number he had for her was disconnected.
Finally, at a loss of what else to do, he asked Debbie to show him how Facebook worked.
They met at a coffee shop while Frannie was at pre-school, Debbie was on her lunchbreak from the diner over the street and Ian paid for coffee and sandwiches whilst she set him up.
“It’s literally so easy. You make a profile and add people. It’s like a boring version of Tinder … or Grindr, I guess.”
She tapped away on the screen, pausing to ask his email address and which photo he wanted but otherwise completely focussed on her task. It seemed to be a trait of the redheaded Gallaghers, total and unwavering focus on any set goal.
“Cool.”
Ian nodded and bit his lip, watching her work.
“I don’t think he’ll be on here though.”
“Who?”
“Mickey. Like, he might be but not with his real name.”
Debbie looked up and smiled at her big brother gently.
“It’s OK, I won’t tell Fiona you’re looking.”
“You can … if you wanted to. I don’t really care what she thinks about it.”
Ian shrugged.
“You’re all set. Want me to search him for you?”
“No, it’s fine. I’ll do it later.”
Ian slipped his phone into his hoodie pocket and gave Debbie a half hearted smile.
“Besides, even if he wasn’t a fugitive, Mickey wasn’t really a social media kind of guy.”
“No, but he loved you enough to want to kill Sammi for you so he might have made a profile or something so you could find him.”
Debbie stood up and collected her purse from under the seat, ignoring the way Ian dropped his eyes to the floor and started fidgeting with a stray sugar packet on the table.
“Listen, Ian, you loved him and you clearly still do. You left him before because you needed to focus on yourself and that’s fine, but if you find him and don’t go to him now, you’re an idiot.”
“Debs, you don’t understand …”
Huffing, she looked at her watch and then sat down again, reaching across the table to grip his hand tightly.
“I really do. I had a baby because I loved Derek and he split because he had to focus on his life. Crime was Mickey’s baby. He chose to break out of prison because he couldn’t stand being away from you … and probably because prison sucks but I bet you were the biggest pull,”
She pushed a stray auburn curl out of her eyes, not relinquishing the grip on Ian’s fingers
“You couldn’t be part of that crime at the time because you had just got your life where you wanted it to be and I bet no one, including Mickey, really blames you for it, but if you let this go now, without trying to be something to him, you’re just an asshole.”
“Did Derek get in touch or something?”
Ian asked trying to cover up his shock and Debbie laughed
“No, Derek is an asshole. But you’re not.”
She stood up and hoisted her bag onto her shoulder, kissing her brother’s cheek.
“Let me know if you find him and if you need someone to water your plants while you’re away.”
*
Ian walked home in a bit of a daze. Debbie’s words had hit him hard and the heavy weight of guilt and anger that had surrounded everything that had happened at the border began to soften into something more manageable.
Debbie was right. Mickey had chosen to escape and that choice had tied one hand behind his back in regard to setting up a stable, normal life with Ian. It put strains and demands on them that at the time, Ian wasn’t ready for at all and so he did what he did to try and take care of himself. That really was an OK choice to have made, no matter how shitty it felt at the time and since.
But equally, Ian didn’t have that excuse anymore. He was stable and his moods were better, his life was balanced. He had nothing to be scared of in himself and he owed Mickey a proper explanation. Even if it was late. What Mickey did with that was up to him. If he told Ian to fuck off and never contact him again? Well it would suck but that would be his choice and Ian would respect it. If he told him he hated him? Ian swallowed and clenched his jaw, stopping so suddenly the guy behind bumped into him and staggered past with a dirty look.
If Mickey actually said the words ‘I hate you’ then Ian would just have to deal with that.
*
Ian made himself a tea, poured it down the sink and took a beer from the fridge instead. He changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants and leant against the kitchen counter sipping his beer and tapping his thumb against the blank screen of his phone. He was afraid. Afraid that he’d find Mickey and he’d be in a relationship. Afraid that he wouldn’t be. Afraid that he wouldn’t find him at all.
He gave himself until the beer line disappeared beneath the blue paper label and then pressed the centre button and watched as the screen lit up.
He navigated to the search bar and after one final sip of his drink, began typing.
Mickey Milkovich - nothing
Mikhailo Milkovich – Five old fat guys and one person who had a Christmas tree as their picture. Defintiely not Mickey.
Mick Milkovich – a college student, two old skinny guys, an old fat guy and a lady with cropped blonde hair.
Milkovich – over two thousand results, none of them Mickey but called one that looked suspiciously like… Mandy!
Ian peered at the phone, his face splitting into a wide grin as he looked at her. She was on a beach, wearing a bikini and flipping off the photographer and she looked so damn happy … Ian felt tears prickle behind his eyes and blinked them away impatiently. He clicked on the little envelope at the top of the screen and typed a message before he could think too much about it:
‘Hey gorgeous, long time no see!’
Within a minute the little grey tick at the side of the message turns blue and moments later he get’s her reply
‘OMG! Ian! How the fuck r u?’
‘Good. Sorry it’s been so long.’
‘U better be! South Side?’
‘North Side. U?’
‘Mexico.’
Ian swallows heavily and lets his thumb hover above the keyboard on screen. Should he ask her? Could he? Mandy was his best friend and his focus should be completely on her but …
‘M call you?’
The message pops up while he is still thinking and Ian’s heart skips a beat and he drops the phone on the floor, quickly scrabbling to pick it up.
‘nsj6644lm’
‘WTF?’
‘Sorry, dropped my phone. M hasn’t called me.’
‘O.’
‘How is he?’
‘Good. U miss him?’
‘Miss both of u’
‘Gonna fuck up again?’
‘No’
Ian could type more but it seems unnecessary. He knows Mandy will trust him based on that word alone and for that he is grateful beyond words. Ian watches the little blue tick beside his message and waits. Minutes tick by and he wonders if Mandy has gone offline but he doesn’t put his phone down, just holds it and keeps waiting.
Finally a message pops up.
‘Tamaulipas. Don’t fuck up. ILY’
Ian stares at it uncomprehendingly for a moment and then Googles it. It is a Mexican state.
‘TY. ILY2’
He types back and goes back to Google. He doesn’t know what he’s looking for exactly but something … a picture of Mickey in some tourist shots maybe ... a notice about a crime spree four years ago … a fucking mention of something related to him. Ian just needs to see something, anything really.
He searches for three hours, phones in sick to work, completes his mental health checklist and determines that this is extreme circumstances, makes a sandwich when his eyes start aching and then goes straight back to his search. He has typed every iteration of ‘Mikhailo’ and ‘Milkovich’ he can think of and nothing comes up at all. He takes a shower, goes for a run to get rid of some frustrated energy and comes back to the house just as the sun is setting over Chicago. He messages Mandy
‘Where?’
But she doesn’t respond and he doesn’t really expect her to. If Mickey is really in Tamaulipas then she is probably going to be a shit-storm of trouble with him for telling someone; but Ian has seen the siblings fight numerous times and he knows that Mandy can hold her own.
In a moment of flippant desperation, Ian types the word ‘Gallagher Mexico’ but misses the ‘H’ and accidentally types ‘Gallager Mexico’. Google comes up with the little circular searching button and Ian waits impatiently for it to finish so he can correct his mistake.
‘Did you mean ‘Galagers Mexico’?’
Ian frowns. He has only seen his name spelt that way once. He clicks on the link below the suggestion and is taken back to Facebook. Galagers is a bar in La Pesca, Tamaulipas. There is pretty much no information about it except the address and a couple of reviews. Ian reads the first one and as he does so, slowly sinks down to the floor, not bothering to stem the tears that slip down his face.
‘Cool little place on the beach. Chilled out vibe for the most part but don’t bother trying to be nice to the American staff, both pretty rude.’
Ian doesn’t need to see more. He checks on his map app and books a flight to Brownsville, Texas for the next day. He calls his boss and says that he needs to take a weeks vacation. Maria is pissed but she lets him do it as he has way too much time to use up anyway. He texts Debbie to ask her to water his plants, checks his savings account for the first time in weeks and is pleasantly surprised, finally he throws some clothes into a bag and then picks up his phone again and messages Mandy.
‘OMW’
