Forgive you, for what?
Summary: After the release of your new song, people start to make rumors about your relationship, making Gavi feel uncomfortable. (Singer!Reader)
Warnings: cursing, mentions of sexy time, implications of cheating.
Face Claim: Emilia Mernes
Tumblr media
"Pablo, don't do that." You say, laughing at him hitting your hand away. Making you almost trop the PS5 controller.
You two were playing fifa. He taught you how to play it, and now he loves that you got to be able to beat him on the game.
"I swear to God, princesa." He laughs when you imitate him hitting your hands. "If you win I'm unfollowing you on insta."
Just as he says that, you score the winner goal of the game. You jump happy, laughing at how he sucks and you are the one and only winner.
He grabs you by the waist, pulling you down to lay on top of him. You laugh at him. Arms behind his neck and lips on his face.
You were careful with him, especially after his injury.
"I beat you." You laugh. Kissing his lips.
He loves these moments with you. Just you and him enjoying the company of each other and not thinking about work and all the responsibilities.
You love how his demeanor changed since the injury. You felt your heart being ripped off when you saw him get injured on the field.
With your help and this family, it was a hard way but he made it. You were so proud of him. He loved his progress as much as you loved to see him renewed and fresh.
"Let's cook something, you need to take your vitamins with food." You kiss his nose, making him scrunch it. "C'mon, mi amorcito."
He hugs you tightly, kissing your cheeks. He loves how shy and red you get when he focus his attention on your cheeks.
"I want a picture with you to remember how happy we are. Put on your shades." You reach over your phone and to where his shades were. Putting them on his face. "Di quesoooo." You smile at the camera.
"Quesoooo" He repeats. Laughing after a few pictures. You kiss his face while taking a few more. "Are you posting me on social media?" He asks, pretending to be serious.
"Why you care?" You follow his game. "You are going to unfollow me." You stick your tongue out for him.
"Maybe an appreciation post will make me follow you again." He jokes. Getting up from the couch and pulling you lightly. "Let's make Mac and cheese." He begs.
You nod, asking him to take the things you'll use. You grab your phone and choose a picture to post on your insta story.

You tagged him, even when the boy only goes on insta to repost something from the barca profile. And even when he can't repost it.
"Princesa, everything's ready." He calls you from the kitchen. "Ven, mi amor."
You smile, loving how he always picks the right way to call you and melt you from love at the same time.
🌸🌸🌸
"Perdonarte, para qué?
Para que vuelvas a fallarme otra vez?
No muchas gracias, ese chiste ya no me hace gracia."
You sing the lyrics to your new song that you have been working on with the Mexican group Los Angeles Azules.
You loved them since you were a child, and for you to be singing and filming a music video with them is a dream come true.
"You look amazing." The lead singer of the group tells you. "We heard your album when it got out and now on our way here to be able to get your energy."
"That's so sweet." You smile, hugging him. "My mom is going crazy about me being here with you. She's a big fan. We are."
You talk with all of them a little bit. Joking while filming. It was all so fun for you and to them too.
"Okay, take three. Y/n, from the beginning."
"Get over me, forget me
And think that it was just a dream what you lived with me
Get it together
There won't be any more pages of the best story you've read
With that, I say goodbye
Please, better not call me
I don't even want you as a friend
Forgive you, for what?
For you to fail me again?
No, thank you very much
That joke is not funny anymore." You sing the song while the music is playing over it.

"Can you please tell me what this secret project is about?" Pablo begs. "Mi amor, I'm nosy." He pouts.
"I know, precioso." You laugh. "But I want you to see it the day it comes out and tell me your real reaction to it."
"I can do that right now." He pouts again.
"No, papi." You shake your head no. "That's not going to happen."
He understood your motives, you always show him your projects before hearing them, except the ones you want him to feel in real time.
"Hey, why did you unfollow me on insta?" You jokingly yell at him. "Amor, why?" You laugh.
"I told you I would." He laughs. "I did, I go by my word."
You talk with him for a little while. Packing your things to go back to Spain to practice for your tour leg in Europe.
"Did you tell her, Pablo?" You hear Aurora in the back of the call.
"Si." He shouts. "Amor, Aurora wants you to have lunch with her as soon as you land in Barcelona. Because she's leaving to Sevilla."
"Yes, tell Aurorita that I want that."
"I'll text you." Aurora yells again.
You laugh at her. You love his family, and you are very thankful that they love you back. It was a big piece in your relationship. The approval and love of your families.
"I have to go, I need to finish packing." You say as your phone pulls the notification of low battery. "Te amo, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Wait, don't come here, I'll come to you." He mentions quickly. "When are you landing?"
"I think at like 2 p.m." You say with doubt. "I'll text you when Aurora and I are done."
"Vale, te amo."
"Te amo más, see you soon, papi."
"See you soon, mami." He blows a kiss to you.

The song is out, and the Spanish press is making a huge deal out of it.

holacom International singer Y/n released her new song in collaboration with Los Angeles Azules, a Mexican cumbian group, the song "Forgive you, for what?" became number one in multiple countries.
Fans are wondering if this new title has to do with Gavi, number six on the Barça first team, unfollowing her and about previous cheating rumors from the footballer.
(📸 @yourusername and @pablogavi)
Pablo hates when the media makes up rumors about you, and he definitely hates when they make rumors about your relationship.
When he heard the song, he never thought it was about you two or any situation that you two went through.
He was loyal to you. He can't be with anyone else when he has everything he ever wanted with you.
"Please, mi amor. Answer your phone." He tries one more time to FaceTime you. When the call goes to nothing. He feels frustrated. "Rora, please try one more time." He begs.
Aurora does. She tried to text you all morning, but the last text she got from you was before your plane took over. That was more than 15 hours ago.
"Nothing." She sighs, seeing his brother lose his mind over the tabloids. "Pablo, there has to be a reason. She won't just not answer you."
She feels cursed. Just when Pablo was relaxing, a notification popped up on his phone. You posted an instagram post.

pablogavisgirl pls don't tell me this is about Gavi😭😭😭
y/nfan1 love the song but pls tell us this isn't a confirmation of the rumors of Gavi cheating on you
gavihater1 happy you finally realized he was not worthy and that you are too much for him anyway
His face drop, why weren't you answering him but you were posting?
He wants to yell, he wants to throw his phone to the wall and pretend this shitshow isn't happening.
"I need to be alone for a moment." He excuses himself to his sister.
But in the United States airport, you were locked in a room with no phone and no way of communicating to anyone.
"How much until she can leave?" You manager asks the immigration guy. "This is ridiculous. She's a singer, and her visa is only a day into the six months rule."
"Ma'am I don't make the rules. But this is my job, and I can't just let her break the law just cause she is a singer."
"I know, I'm not asking you to break anything. I'm just telling you that it's been seven hours since we landed here. We already told you and showed you proof that this is just a connection flight."
You were mad. You were supposed to be in the United States for only an hour and you already spent seven hours while the immigration officer confirmed the story that you were a singer and your trip to Barcelona was with working purposes.
All because your visa was one day into the six months limit where you can't fly. That was an honest mistake from your manager, you can't blame her.
"Can I at least have some food?" You ask the police who was with you in the room. "Please."
He ignores you. You were mad, you were just passing by, not like you were colonizing their land.
"Okay, you are free to go." The same immigration dude came to open the door for you. "Good luck at your concert."
You didn't even flash a smile. You wanted to give him a piece of your mind, but you weren't. "Good night." You say.
You hug your manager. Telling her how tired you were and how you needed food and a long sleep.
"You'll have seven hours to do that." She walks with you. "I got us a private jet, no more stupid commercial flights."
"And good thing is that your song is number one on the charts." Your assistant tells you. "And I posted a thank you to Los Angeles Azules and to your fans."
You don't even have the energy to care about a post or anything. "My phone is dead." You mention. "I was on like 10% before they took me in"
You walk to a coffee shop, getting something to drink while your assistant got you something to eat.
"Here." She hands you the food. "And your phone is charging. Here." She left the phone with the power bank attached.
You calmly eat while watching a movie. When you have more energy to finally do more than just be a potato, you pick your phone.
Your eyes widen at the sight of all the missing calls from Pablo, Aurora and your friends. "I have to call Pablo." You say.
"No." Your manager snatchs your phone off your hands. "You need sleep, Pablo is probably worry and that's okay, but sleep."
She didn't want you to find out about the drama the tabloids are doing. She wants you to get to Barcelona with at least a little energy and then deal with it.

gavihater2 love how you are ignoring everything about that excuse of a player
y/nfan2 amore, please tell us you and Gavi aren't done 😭😭😭
_ferminlopez can I get free tickets?
bcnboyslover FERMIN NOT YOU HERE 😭
gavilover34 baby you can afford them
gaviandy/nlover is this the way they tell us everything is fine and they're still together? Fermin?
"C'mon Pablo, please pick up." You try one more time. "Papi, I need you. Answer" You whisper, nervous about the whole drama that the media pulled.
When you landed in Barcelona, it was 11 pm. So you needed your bed and a pill to be able to sleep all night.
The repercussions came when you woke up to your friends blowing your phone with questions about Gavi, Aurora asking you if you were okay and to call her and the worst.
Pablo texting you that he was hurt that you weren't answering, you were just letting the fire get to him about something you denied him access. And asking you if that was your plan for the beginning.
You called Aurora, who was in Sevilla at that point. You explained to her what happened, and she understood your tired state. Not blaming you for what you did as soon as you landed.
She texted Pablo, asking him to let you explain yourself, how you wouldn't do what he thinks you did.
But you weren't going to wait until his mad state is over. You needed to talk to him face to face, and even if he didn't want it to, you do.
You open the door of his house with your spare key. "Pablo!" You yell for him to hear that it was you. "Pablo Martín!" You yell again.
You walk to his kitchen, nothing. The living room, nothing. His room, nothing again.
You were nervous, he wasn't there. You pase around thinking where he was. Was he with Fermin? Was he with Pedri? At one of la masia boys? Where?
You were so into your mind that you don't hear the front door being open or the steps coming to the bedroom.
But you do scream when the door is fully open in a quick motion. Making Pablo jump scared. "Por la puta, qué mierda?" He asks, hand on his heart.
"Pablo!" You say happy, hugging him and kissing his face. His hands are on your sides, not really hugging you, more like keeping you steady. "Mi amor, I'm sorry about not being able to answer. I was trapped and I wasn't able to take my flight."
"Y por qué si pudiste subir fotos?" He asks, pushing you away from him. "Hmm?" (And why did you have time to post?)
"I didn't, papi, that was my assistant." You try to explain. "Papi, I would never do anything to hurt you."
"Well, you did." He walks into the bathroom, ignoring you while taking his clothes off. Ready to take a shower.
"Pablo, please!"
He got into the shower, not caring that you were there. Nothing you haven't seen before, so you walked into the bathroom.
You open the glass door. Water slashing all over your shoes and legs. "Pablo, I'm not going anywhere."
"Entonces quédate ahí." (Then stay there) he continued with hos shower routine without a care in the world.
You close the door. Removing your shoes and clothes, except for your underwear. You weren't giving up just like that.
"Mira, Pablo." You grab his shoulders, hands removing the foam from his forehead to he could see you. "I was forced to stay at a freaking two meters office with a very mean police dude in New York." You explain.
He pays attention, even though he doesn't want to, he respects you enough to hear you.
"I was tired, I was jet lagged, I was hungry and thirsty, but I couldn't even move without the dude reaching for his taser."
You feel your eyes watering. You were stressed. The song was supposed to be something good. You with your favorite cumbia group, doing a Spanish language song after two English albums. Not this mess.
"I was tired." You cry. "And I wanted my boyfriend to understand. But he is too busy playing the hurt one when he knows I would never be the type to leave him with a song. Especially after talking to him on the phone and saying I love you."
You back away from him. Letting him see you discomfort. He felt bad, all that anger, and the words he sent you over text weren't even reasonable. You were right.
"I'm sorry." You say. "I should have asked my assistant to text you something to let you know I was okay. I'm I haven't been able to clean your name from the drama. I just want us to be okay. Is that possible?"
He nods, and you hug him carefully. Not wanting to take a bad step and slip I to the shower.
"Te amo, please don't ever think I don't." You say. "And if I don't contact you after a flight, please know it's because I was: a, put into custody of the immigration department. b, probably death asleep. And c, maybe in the air with no phone battery."
You make him laugh, the sound of it being the only thing you needed.
"Te amo, princesa." He kisses your forehead. "I was an insecure person, and I'm sorry about it. I'm sorry about that text. Maybe all the shit did got to my head."
"Then let's wash it off." You interrupt him, joking about his hair having shampoo and foam. "It's okay, I get insecure too. And just like you do, I'll be here to make you not feel like it." You kiss him. You quickly pull away. "Maybe let's take this shampoo off of you, it taste terrible."
He laughs, pulling you a little to the water falling. "What if you let me help you shower that tension away?" He asks, kissing your neck.
"Your injury." You remind him.
"Don't worry, I have my hands to do the work for me." He smirks, hands traveling to the elastic of your panties. "I love you."
"Really?" You ask, breathlessly. You kiss him. Your hands reach for the lock on your bra, undoing it. "Show me." You say, taking the remaining clothes off.

Thank you🌹Love youuu🙈❣️
Sky full of Stars
Tumblr media
Pablo was supper excited about the Coldplay concert coming to Barcelona that he kept talking about it for the whole week to his sister, friends and of course you.
He grew up listening to Coldplay with his sister and there are many beautiful memories that he has with their songs in the background. For your very first date, he took you to the edge of the town where you laid in the trunk of the car looking at the stars and listening to Coldplay...so this was a special even for him.
"Amor, should I wear blanco or azul??" he asked you checking himself out in the mirror while you smiled at his indecisiveness when he looked so handsome no matter what color he chose to wear. But you decided to be helpful so you replied "Tu estas tan guapo cuando te pones blanco.." and he smiled immediately choosing that outfit and leaving to change.
"Así? Dios! Did you change??" Pablo said when he saw that you wore a white top and some shorts in order to match with him which looked so perfect contrasted with the bright red lipstick he loved to see on your lips.
"Mhm..wanted to match with my amorcito" you waled up to him snaking your arms around Pablo's neck while his were on your waist pulling you close and kissing your lips (ofc getting some lipstick on his that you needed to clean afterwards hehe).
Groupchat:
frankiee: ready??
pablo: sí!
aurora: i'm sure pablo is ecstatic!! see ya there!
y/n: he is rora hehe
pablo: shut up hermana!
mikky: we're picking you guys up in five <3
When Frankie and Mikky picked you up, bunch of paparazzi were snapping pictures calling the boy's names which usually annoyed Pablo but nothing could ruin this night for him.
"You guys look so good in matching outfits!" Mikky complimented and you smiled thanking her before laying your head on Pablo's shoulder which he welcomed with a kiss on your head.
When you arrived, there was a large crowd of people laughing, chatting to one another, laughing some more and just spreading positive energy.
"We are going to get you ladies a drink..wait here so we don't lose you" Frankie said kissing Mikky while Pablo still kept a tight hold on your hand unsure if he should leave you alone in the crowds in case you end up getting lost. He was always way too careful when it came to your safety.
"Don't worry, amorcito..I'll wait for you right here" you reassure Pablo going on your tip toes before pecking his lips making him smile and nod his head before leaving wit Frankie towards the bar.
Meanwhile Aurora and Javi joined the two of you giving you hugs before Aurora asked Javi to take a photo of the three of you which he gladly obliged.

"You look so good hermanita! My hermano is a lucky cabrón!" Aurora said and you laughed before hearing "yeah he is!" behind you as Pablo's arms snaked your your waist from behind and he kissed the side of your neck before giving you the promised drink.
"Gracias amor.." you say sweetly blushing a little that he was very touchy in public which isn't often but you weren't complaining.
When the music started, everyone sang and danced taking a few videos for memory before putting phones away to enjoy the moment fully.
Then they started singing "Sky full of Stars" making Pablo immediately look down at you rested in his arms the same moment you looked up at him with a smile remembering that night of your first date.
"Dance with me linda?" he said and you blushed nodding your head while snaking your arms around his neck while he pulled you in closer and you started to slow dance like nobody else existed..like you were the only two people on Earth.
"Que preciosos!" Aurora whispered to everyone and they all smiled at how i love you two looked at each other enjoying your special moment.
Mikky took her phone and took a video of you and a few pictures to send to you knowing you would want to remember this moment in te future.
"I love you..did you know that??" Pablo said with a big smile and you smile nodding your head before kissing his lips softly.
"I know that..and I love you too Pablito!" you smile resting your forehead against his as the song ended and everyone cheered.
"Que romantico!" Aurora teased her brother taking off his cap and putting on your head before leaving with Javi to grab another drink while you blushed looking at Pablo whose eyes were sparkling looking at you.
"Check you phone" Mikky winked before she left with Frankie and you did smiling wide at the video and pictures they took of the two of you dancing.

When you came home, you were both ecstatic of the feeling from the whole night laying in bed together cuddling up and watching the video of you dancing on repeat..it looked like it was from some fictional show.
"We need Coldplay to play on our wedding.." Pablo said and you blushed looking up and and putting your phone away.
"Our wedding?" you said shyly and he nodded kissing your lips before pulling you closer wishing you sweet dreams while your heart was pounding hard against your chest after hearing those words..your and Pablo's wedding.
Hope you like it! Did Pablo go the concert??

✭ DRUNK BOYFRIEND: GAVI
Tumblr media
Authors note: love this boy with my entire being… so I just had to write a quick one for him.
Warnings: none?? just fluff i think. lmk tho
The loud and repetitive sound of your phone ringing slowly pulls you out of your unconscious state. One hand comes to slowly rub the sleep of your eyes, the other wrapping around your long-before-disregarded phone. The second you press the device to your ear, loud music on the other end makes you snap open your eyes.
“Mi amor.” You hear a voice slur out, words coming out in a messy shout. To be completely sure, you take a peak at the caller ID before ultimately sighing.
“Pablo?” The hum of acknowledgment is quick from him, a little giggle following.
“I like the way you say my name.”
Playing games and flirting on the phone with your boyfriend in the middle of the night was the last thing you wished for. Especially if he was drunk.“Where are you?”
Your voice is stern, and the footballer’s eyes widen. “Are you mad at me?”
A feeling of guilt settles in your stomach at his frail voice. “No. Baby, I’m not.” You reassure as comforting as you can before moving on to the important stuff. “Have you been drinking?”
The music is still playing loudly in the back and as you get more out of your sleepy state, you realised just what your boyfriend was doing. A few days prior he had told you about a “boy’s night” someone from his team was hosting. It wasn’t anything special since they did it all the time, but Pablo had told you he wouldn’t be drinking.
Guess that didn’t work out for him.
“A little…” he trails of. You wait for him to say something more, but he just remains quiet.
“How are you feeling?” You’re fully sat on your bed now, sleep now long forgotten as you try your best to figure out the situation at hand.
Pablo completely ignores your question. “I miss you.”
A laugh ripples out of you at his sultry tone, knowing how he either got super energetic once drinking or just like now, down and in need of affection.
“Do you want me to come pick you up?” Before he has even answered, you’ve figured out he was going to say yes either way. Getting out of bed, you put on your comfiest clothes as you get ready to pick up your boyfriend.
“Yes.” You don’t bother asking for his location, knowing you had it on your phone. Snatching up your keys from your kitchen counter, you lock up your apartment before getting into the car and driving the short way to your boyfriend.
During the 15 minutes it took you to get there, you made sure to stay on the phone with him, too skeptical of his ability to look out for himself in his current state. As you drive, your boyfriend seems set on entertaining you. He speaks, sings and probably dances too as you giggle at his actions.
You feel as if a weight has been lifted of your shoulders as you park against the road and see your boyfriend sat against the pavement, a distant look on his face as he has his phone pressed to his ear. The second your car closes behind you, his head snaps up, a bright smile taking over his features as his hooded eyes land on your figure.
Gavi gets up to come and hug you, but nearly stumbles over his own shoe. “Shit.” He laughs at his lack of balance, finding it very funny. You only playfully roll your eyes before stepping up to him, slinging his larger arm over your shoulder. Thankfully, he’s okay to walk with the little help you're giving him, and you make it to the car with no struggle.
As you put him in the passenger seat and lean over his frame to buckle him up, he takes his chance and places small kisses on your exposed neck. His kisses trail up to the corner of your mouth and he leans back proudly as he sees you involuntarily react to his touch.
The drive home is nothing special. Gavi is quick to pick the music, and you let him as you drive the way back home. By the time you’ve arrived, your boyfriend is almost knocked out in the seat.
“Baby.” You push away the hair clinging to his sweaty forehead. “Let’s go in.”
He nods, making a move to unbuckle himself and getting out the car. You watch as he manages to make his own way, more composed than he was when you found him only 15 minutes ago. Noticing the fact that he forgot to close the car door behind him, you do it, before catching up with your boyfriend.
The next half an hour is spent on helping him get ready for bed. The second he walked into your room, he was ready to crash. But you wouldn’t let him, knowing there were a few things he had to do before. As if you were his mother, you brushed his teeth, gave him water and tucked him into bed like a toddler.
“Where are you going, princesa?” Pablo calls out after you as he sees you walking away from him.
“ I was gonna go grab you—”
“No need. I don’t want it.” He cuts you off, not even knowing what you were talking about. He gestures to the spot besides him. “You’re all I want.”
With a lovesick smile, you get under the covers, hand wrapping around your boyfriend’s body as he for once, lays on your chest. “I love you.” His words are dragged out, his eyes drooping as he finds comfort in you.
“I love you too. So much.” You reassure, a hand stroking his hair to soothe him to sleep. His body moved more into you on instinct, hands securing around your stomach.
In his vulnerable state, all he wants is to be taken care of, and you grant his wishes.

For week seven of @astrangersummer
Prompt: "or maybe we don't." / laugh | wc: 1,061 | Rating: M | cw: drug use, mentions of a dead character (Barbara) | tags: skinny dipping, night swimming, trespassing, inspired by Pablo Neruda, soft love, Steve PoV.
-
like sunshine on skin, a warm blanket in winter.
“... I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love…” - Pablo Neruda (One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII)
The leaves rustle gently in the balmy summer breeze, the hum of crickets and cicadas fill the air like music and in the gentle darkness of a clear night Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson lounge on the rooftop of the Harrington house.
Milky white smoke curls in the air between them, the heady scent of earth, pine, and plum fill their lungs until their limbs are slow and deliberate. The stars are bright and clear, pinpricks of light against the expansive, endless darkness, and in the blue night, Steve cannot help but think that Eddie Munson is beautiful.
“So, you don't like swimming in your own pool?” Eddie breathes out, holding out the blunt for Steve to take.
The hairs on Steve's arm stand on end when the brush against Eddie's fingers is warm and electric. “Yeah,” he says, sucking in the smoke, “I have this dream where I'm in there doing breast stroke or something and every time I come up for air I'd see her sitting at the edge of the pool looking at me.” Steve recalls, taking another hit, holding it out to Eddie.
“Fuck man, that's rough,” Eddie mumbles, bringing the joint to his mouth. They're silent for a few moments, basking in the stillness of night.
Steve can see the jagged scar that cuts into the pale skin of Eddie's jaw, a blooming drop of blood against fresh snow. He knows there are more scars all over Eddie's body, more splatters of blood. Steve has only been able to peek at those ones, glances through partially open bathroom doors, and loose singlets at gigs. He wants to touch all of them, to feel Eddie against his lips, and know that he is warm and alive.
“But other pools you're ok swimming in?” Eddie asks, giving the joint back to Steve.
Steve shrugs “yeah, I guess,” he answers, taking the last hit and stubbing the joint on the tile beneath him.
“Well, that does it then,” Eddie stands, brushing off non-existent dirt from his black jeans.
“What?”
“I feel like going for a swim, and we can't go in the one you see ghosts in,” Eddie explains, climbing through the window that leads into Steve's bedroom.
“Is it Hagan or Carver that's got a pool?” Eddie asks when Steve follows him down the stairs.
“Hagan, but Carver lives near Lovers Lake. I think they got like a dock or something,” Steve rambles. He's still following Eddie, the other boy opening the door to the garage and making a beeline to Steve's bike.
“Lovers Lake can get fucked,” Eddie scoffs, pushing the bike to the garage door just as Steve pushes the button to open it. It's only when Eddie is already halfway down the driveway, swinging a leg over the bike that Steve's brain catches up.
“Hey hey hey hey,” he runs, placing his hands on the handlebars, “or how about maybe we don't go over to Tommy's to use his pool?”
“And why not?”
Steve runs a hand through his hair, the other settling on his hip “shit man, cause it’s the middle of the night. They're gonna be asleep.”
Eddie cackles, bright and loud, a soft look in his eyes as if Steve were a particularly cute puppy “that's kind of the point, Stevie.”
“We don't have any swimming trunks,” Steve adds, not really knowing the point he is trying to make.
“Night swimming and skinny dipping usually go hand in hand, big boy,” Eddie concludes, the large grin on his face softening into something else.
“Ok fine, but I'm dri- I'm gonna be the one riding the bike, you're no-muscle-having-legs won't be able to push the bike with both of us on it.”
Eddie gets off the bike with a bark of laughter, and Steve hops on, taking a large steadying breath when he feels Eddie's hands on his shoulders as the other boy stands on the bike behind him.
It is not a long bike ride. The Hagan's are practically neighbors, separated by a bit of the forest surrounding them. Eddie climbs off, and Steve follows, their footsteps silent as they approach the wooden fence that cuts the backyard off to the rest of the world. Steve watches Eddie climb smoothly over it, and he wonders if the guy has done this before.
Steve lands on the other side without issue, his eyes landing on Eddie, who is already standing by the edge of the pool and toeing off his shoes.
They take off their clothes in silence, casting them aside in a heap until the pair are in nothing but their boxer briefs. Steve's eyes roam the planes of Eddie's torso, the badges of survival pinned all over.
“Steve,” he hears Eddie whisper, the low voice bringing him back so their eyes meet.
It is a slow process, but Steve's heart quickens when Eddie’s ringed hands toy with the waistband of their underwear, his mouth going dry the further Eddie pulls them down. Steve wants to touch. God, he wants to touch him.
“Your turn,” Eddie says, throwing his underwear to the pile of clothes. Steve quickly follows suit, his eyes latched onto Eddie, watching the other boy watching him.
They don't dive in the water. Instead, they slowly slip in, the cool water sending a rush of goosebumps over Steve's skin. They laugh quietly together, breathy and hesitant, the thrill and fear of trespassing and being caught thrumming between them. They swim in circles around each other, a string between them that pulls them closer second by second until they are only a breath away.
Steve cannot look away from Eddie. Not when Eddie closes his eyes. Or when his fingers lightly caress Eddie's jaw. And never when the boy leans into the touch.
“Eddie,” Steve whispers, saying his name like a promise, a confession, a prayer, and permission.
It is not fast or loud. There are no dark clouds of doubt and fear. It is a slow, gentle thing, a truth like golden sunshine against skin, a warm blanket in winter. It is simple and uncomplicated.
Steve loves Eddie.

My tachihara michizou head canons + with s/o shit idk what to call it help (first time tumblr user)
it is currently fucking 3am in the morning on a Wednesday morning. Sos send help !! (The brainrot is hard)
and yes pls ignore grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes, I’m writing this w very little brainpower and I want to feed ppl Tachi content cuz I’m sick of HOOWWW little Tachi content we have
here’s a lovely the rock TACHI illustration I did at the brink of my extinction (If the TACHI fandom disappears, that’s probs bc I died or smt)
Tumblr media
He’s definitely a VERY polite and well mannered gentleman out of mafia atttire/persona. The kind of guy that greet you every morning with coffee/tea prepared when you enter the headquarters.
He still acts like a silly little teen boy (19 , I still hear that TEEN in him). Having to miss out on many opportunities in childhood, this fucker loves to fuck around during games.
He’s Tachihara! THIS FUCKER LOVES GUN FIGHTS. Take him to a lazed tag and he’d be winning all the time.
it takes time to get Tachi to open his heart, like DEADASS a long time. Having to work as a double spy for the hunting dogs, he mustn’t let emotions get to him during missions. Romantic relationships are a no no for him if it’s going to interfere with his workload. BUUTTTTTTT if he can reasonably squish in love between his chaotic schedule, it takes a hefty amount of work to get to him.
His sleep schedule is..smt. Very fucking sad tbh, considering how busy he is. And even during his break holidays or weekdays he still can’t sleep! His sleep schedule fluctuates too much due to a lot of things. He’s an over thinker (me 2 Tachi 😕🙏)
buddy his music taste also fluctuates so hard, the next thing he’d be listening to is rap then to Romance songs. Bros Spotify hops from freek-leek by Pete Pablo to lovesick by laufey.
ok s/o time!!
First time dating Tachi would be the cutest thing, he isn’t used to any affection! Given that his family barely embraced him with love, he’d find it difficult to respond to affectionate gestures. He wouldn’t even know what to do when his lover hugs him!! Sure he’d hug back, just a little awkward tho.
As months go by, dating Tachi for a long time means his lover gets to see a silly side of him! Out of his mafia persona and professional personality. He wouldn’t be Tachihara, he’d be just silly michizou. Cracking up the stupidest jokes on earth, like lobotomy Kaisen humor .
he’d be embarrassed to admit it but this motherfucker would be checking his phone all the time, seeing if there’s a message from his partner . Sometimes he’d be disappointed if it was just Teruko spam messaging him a bunch of gojo: “nah I’d win” memes.
he likes it when his partners runs their fingers through his hair while being cuddled. He feels warm and safe, tone able to see tachis vulnerable side is like a 50/50 win win.
sorry not sorry but he will not hold back when playing games like Fortnite or cod (I just see him as any regular guy that would play that shit), even if his opponent is his partner. Blud will pull up w the “where you go I go” ahh Typa shit on his partner just to piss them off (playfully ofc) and win that victory Royale on Fortnite.
When his partner is upset, he’d do the zestiest and goofiest acts to cheer them up!
he loves his partner a lot, he has always been afraid of loving someone due to rejection. Being rejected his whole life made his mentality develop a defense mechanism where he follows his head over his heart, rejecting his own personal feelings. (It’s 3am babe!! Idk what I’m typing atp.
it is 3:27am this is how much I can feed u w my virgin brain sos send help 😕😕🔥🔥🔥🔥☝️☝️☝️☝️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

previous chapter | masterlist | next chapter
Chapter 01 | Baila Conmigo
“Bebé, no sé si habla' mucho español
Si entiende' cuando digo "Mi amor"
(...)
Bésame, solo una vez
Así tengo un motivo pa' volverte a ver”
“There’s no better cure for a broken heart than Gin Tonic and Spanish men.” Rebecca was wearing three different sunhats and every single beach robe she could find. They were sitting crossed legged in Sofie’s bedroom floor, packing for their upcoming trip. It was Rebecca’s idea, of course. She has spent every summer in Ibiza since she was old enough to get on a plane by herself, and has begged her best friend to come with her every year since. But Sofie had Thomas and they spent all the summers with his family in his hometown. 
“I do like Gin Tonic.” Sofie giggled. “But no men on this trip. All I want from Ibiza is a suntan and a light hungover.”
“You should still pack some lingerie, just in case.”
They were leaving the next morning, with Chiara and Luisa meeting them at the airport. Out of their gigantic group of friends, they were the only ones single, so it was natural for the girls to feel responsible for Sofie. She had a lot to learn, they said. She got added to their private group chat, ‘single girls club’, the day after the breakup. Even now, a couple weeks later, she hadn’t felt lonely, not even for a minute.
“And you need new sunglasses.”
**
The anxiety only hit her when they landed. The realization of what she was doing. She was a free woman now, whatever that means. It started to feel like a big weight to carry, the sole responsibility of making herself happy. It was so easy to give that up before, in the name of love. Now she doesn’t know what to do with it.
“Let’s get mimosas, like, immediately!” Luisa was the most outgoing one in their little group, and not up for debate she was also the prettiest. Long wavy blonde hair, bambi blue eyes, greek goddess-like body. She was a natural leader. Her confidence made it easy to follow her, and that’s what Sofie decided to do.
“Yes, please!”
“The fact that I’m not wearing a bikini already is a crime.” Chiara was the youngest but still a lot more experienced in those adventures than Sofie. Chiara’s mother was a successful supermodel in the early 90’s and she inherited her mother’s best features. Straight brown hair, light tan skin. She was the fashionista of the group.
Rebecca was the more centered, mature, mother-like personality of the four. She had the best taste in music and always had a great new book recommendation. It seemed like she was always worried about something more important than everybody else. She was the smart one.
Sofie was the new girl, and had yet to discover her place in the entourage.
The girls rented a luxurious and isolated villa in Sant Josep. Four spacious bedrooms, an infinity pool and cozy patio were privileges their parents credit cards were able to pay. They all came from rich families, their friendship was as written in the stars as carefully planned by their mothers. They met on play dates when they were little kids. They had ballet and foreign language classes together. As teenages they learned how to lie to their parents together. They went to college together. Now, as brand new adults, they were learning how to be women together.
“Okay, what about this one?”
They were in the villa living room, after a few mimosas, choosing which pictures to post. That was an important part of the single’s business. It was crucial for your thirst traps to look as hot as possible yet tasteful and lady-like. According to Luisa, you want to look like a duchess and a slut.
“Yes, post it.”
Chiara then turned to Sofie. “Okay, so, our itinerary only starts tomorrow, but you want to let people know you’re in town.” They had plans for the next day, party with people Sofie never met and concerts of artists she never heard of. She tried not to show how uncultured and naive that made her feel. “You should post this one. And tag the village.” It was a pic of Sofie in a bikini, she was posing in front of the infinity pool. It was a milestone, really. Her first insta post as a single woman.
**
In the afternoon Rebecca decided to take Sofie on a walk. 
“Let’s take it slow on the first day, maybe do some shopping.” 
At that point everything sounded like a good idea. Sofie could feel her cheeks burning red with excitement. Ibiza was as beautiful and as interesting as expected. The streets were cloaked in flowers and vines. The sound of birds humming and the clashing waves in the distance made just walking around the island a magical and spiritual experience. They entered a number of small stores, smelling, touching and taking pictures of everything they saw. It’s always a good feeling to be a tourist in a beautiful place.
“This place looks nice.” 
It was a bar, semi-open with a pitched bamboo roof, located right in front of the beach. The stone walls and greenery created a peaceful and inviting view. That, and the orange from the sunset on the horizon. Becca seemed to agree and without another word the girls entered the bar. They ordered local craft beers and tapas and sat down in silence for a few minutes to simply rest and enjoy the view. With the moonrise, the glow of fairy lights started to illuminate the bar.
“How devoted are you to that ‘no men’ rule?” 
The girls were sitting facing each other on the table closest to the sea and Rebecca leaned over, almost whispering her question. Jazz music playing in the background and a bottle of beer in hand, Sofie frowned.
“We literally just got here. I would say pretty devoted.”
“Okay, well, look, it’s just those guys are totally checking us out.”
Sofie looked in the direction her friend’s eyes were aimed. Two boys, to be more precise. A brunette and a blonde, if Sofie had to describe.
“They’re cute…” They really were cute.
“Pick one!”
“What?”
“Pick one! I’ll take the other.” Rebecca winked.
“What did we just talk about?”
“Sorry, got distracted. They’re super cute. Sorry.”
“Also, the brunette.” Sofie giggled. The brunette looked older and charming, deep brown eyes– he was just her type.
“Oh my god, they’re coming over.”
It became obvious very quickly that the boys also took their pick, and it didn’t match theirs. The charming brunette looked head over heels for Rebecca, while the blonde one stared awkwardly at Sofie. Pedro and Pablo, they introduced themselves. Chip ‘n Dale, Sofie thought to herself. After only a few minutes Pedro and Rebecca’a chemistry was flooding the table. Their giggling and flirty stares started to become uncomfortable for the other two.
“Do you want to take a walk?” It was clear they got abandoned by their friends, so Sofie did the polite thing and offered Pablo a way out of that conversation. The boy looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He had beautiful eyes and Sofie blushed with the thought. The boy nodded in agreement.
“Are you sure?” Rebecca asked, partially worried she was being a bad friend and partially hopeful. Sofie almost rolled her eyes.
“Yes, pretty sure.”
**
“You’re a professional football player?”
“Yes.” Pablo laughed at the sound of shock in her voice. Sofie then stopped herself to stare at him for a second, examining his features. They were making small talk– how old are you; where are you from; what do you work with. His answer caught her off guard.
“I used to love football.” She said softly, smiling at herself. “When I was a kid my dad would take me to every single Benfica home game.”
“What happened?” Pablo frowned. “You don’t like it anymore?”
“My dad passed away.”
“Oh. Shit.” There was an awkward silence. “I’m so sorry.” 
“It’s okay, really.” Sofie giggled at the boy’s scared look, she seemed it before and was already used to it. “It has been a while. It’s just, football was our thing, you know?”
“Do you miss it? Nevermind, that’s a stupid question!”
“No, no, it’s okay.” She had a hand on his shoulder. They have been walking for a few minutes and even though they were in an isolated part of the beach, they could hear distant edm music; very different from the sound of birds during the day. The moon was high in the sky at that point. “I do miss it. A lot. But it’s been a long time, and with every passing season there’s more to learn about the game. I don’t know how to go back into the loop.” She didn’t even know who he was, that’s how ‘out of the loop’ she was.
“I guess you just do. If you wanted. I guess you just come back.”
He was right. She heard that before, from her therapist. Going back to doing the things she loved. Instead she decided to quit therapy and keep herself in the denial phase of grief. But Pablo was right. And he looked beautiful under the moonlight. His hair waving with the ocean breeze, his eyes shining brighter than the paper lanterns around them. She wanted to hold his hand. Her whole day felt like a fairytale after weeks of nightmares and she didn’t want to talk about her father or football anymore. She wanted to kiss him and end her day on a win. Later she would blame her overly confident behavior on the mimosas.
“Do you wanna go back to the villa with me?”

Hiii can u do a sort of love triangle with gavi and pedri ♡♡
A/n: my requests are open so feel free to send me more requests. 
If you guys want me to do another one of these but the other way round let me know 
wc: 2200+
When moving to Barcelona I thought I would really struggle to make friends but right when I arrived I managed to make two great friends and now we are as close as anything. Gavi and Pedri aren't the people I thought I'd make friends with when I moved here but after we happened to meet and they were so nice and helpful I wouldn't have wanted things to go any other way. Being friends with them is like having two bodyguards at times they are always keeping an eye on me and protecting me when we go out anywhere together which I really appreciate. Its come to the point that I don't know what I would do without and I hope they feel the same way about me. 
It has been far too long since I've last seen them both has they have been away for the World Cup but now they are back and we are finally going to see each other for a movie night which we do all the time but it's been a while since we've done one. Since we planned this I've been really excited but also a bit nervous as things have changed since they left. After they left and I had so much time to myself I spent too much time thinking and I realised that I have a crush on Pablo which I had been trying to ignore and push to the back of my mind for months. I feel so stupid because I told myself not to catch feelings for either of them as I know that if I say anything it will ruin everything as if he doesn't feel the same way it will ruin the whole group dynamic as things will be so awkward. While they have been away its been fine as when we talk over FaceTime I can hide it but I'm not sure that I can do the same thing in person as they know me so well that I just know I'll give it away. 
To distract myself from how nervous I am about tonight I have spent most of the day in the kitchen baking as the boys both love the cookies and cupcakes I make so I thought I'd make some for us to have as snacks and as my way of showing how proud I am of them both for their performance. As a distraction it has been working pretty well as I've been busy and had music on which has kept my attention away from my worries but as soon as I stopped my worries came flooding right back into my mind. I can't stop playing out every possible scenario in my head which isn't helping at all as none of them end very well in fact they all end with me losing my friends and being all alone again. 
The boys have their first training back with Barca today but afterwards they said they would stop off at mine and pick me up so we can go back to Pedri's place as thats where we always hang out  which means I don't even get any time to prepare myself because as soon as they get here I'll have to see Pablo straight away. Since finishing baking I've been looking at my wardrobe deciding what to wear as I want to be comfy but I also still want to look nice as for some reason I still feel the need to impress Pablo. After ages of debating with myself I settled on some sweatpants and a crop top so that I didn't look like a complete mess but was still comfy although it still didn't feel right but it will have to do as the guys will be here soon. 
Pedri's POV 
Training seemed to drag on forever but eventually it finished and Pablo and I quickly got changed and headed to my car to go and pick y/n up. We have been friends for ages now but we haven't seen her in a while as we were away for the World Cup and she had to stay for school and work so the both of us are really excited to see her again. For a while now I've had feelings for y/n as in feelings that go beyond just friends but I haven't said anything as I don't want to ruin our friendship or make things awkward with Pablo as he will still want to be her friend I know. Sometimes seeing her is hard because I just want to say something or for my feelings to go away but of course they don't so I just put on an act and pretend that everything is normal. 
Pablo and I got in the car and since he’s been fiddling with literally anything in sight which isn't normal for him. He has been acting off in general today to start with he was way too excited about training in the freezing cold but since we finished he's been nervous as anything and I just can't figure out what's going on. Usually he will tell me everything but today there is definitely something he isn't telling me and I have to know what it is as this isn't usual for him. 
"Hey man are you alright you seem really nervous" I said 
"I'm fine its just y/n" he said 
"What about her?"I asked 
"Well I really like her and while we've been away I have been thinking more about it and I want to tell her how I feel but I don't want to ruin everything as I don't think I could handle not having her in my life" he admitted 
As soon as I heard those words came out of his mouth I felt my heart sink. I should've known that he liked her I mean now that I think about it it’s so obvious she's the one person he FaceTimes all the time and he doesn't stop talking about her. Knowing that the both of us have feelings for her makes me feel even worse as I know these sorts of love triangles never end well for anyone involved. 
"If you think telling her is the right thing to do then you should do it as whatever happens is meant to be will be" I said trying to be supportive 
It hurt having to say that but I know that once Pablo has his mind set on something he doesn't easily let it go plus if he truly feels as strongly for her as he says then maybe they will be good for each other. Part of me is hoping that she will reject him and then maybe I might have a chance but I know deep down the right thing to do is back off and let them figure things out. Over my life I've had a few crushes that weren't reciprocated so this will just be another one to add to the list although I never stayed in contact with any of those girls so that will be a new aspect I have to figure out. I don't have long to figure it out though as soon we will be at y/n's picking her up.
Your POV 
My doorbell sounding throughout the apartment made me jump to start with but pretty much straight away I got up and ran to the door to greet the boys as I just knew it would be them. When I opened the door I was right and both Pedri and Pablo were stood outside my door smiling. I gave both of them a hug but held onto Pablo for a bit longer but not too long as to give away my feelings. As we left I grabbed the cookies and cupcakes which they both tried to steal so they could eat one before we even got to the car but I didn't let them. When we got to the car I went to open the door but Pablo managed to get in there first and held it open for me before then getting in the back of the car with me. Usually when we are all together unless we use my car I sit in the back as people always try to take pictures of Pedri and Pablo so I hide out in the back on my own so that I don't have loads of pictures taken of me. It was strange having him sat next to me to begin with but I did like having him sit with me and it made me wonder if maybe he feels the same way I do. 
When we got to Pedri's place he went and grabbed more snacks for us while Pablo and I sat down in the living room. He sat down first while I put the cookies out but when I was done I decided to test the water and sit right next to him on the sofa. For a second he looked at me before getting comfy and putting his arm behind me resting on the sofa clearly trying not to cross a boundary by touching me. We looked at each other for a second before quickly looking away again and I just know my cheeks were bright red but I was trying to pretend it wasn't happening. Things really feel like they have changed slightly between me and Pablo as we would never act like this with each other before but I don't want to get my hopes up as it could be anything or me just imagining things. 
Things were normal for a while once we started watching the film but about halfway though I felt Pablo's hand drop to my shoulder so of course I looked over to him and he just smiled back which made the butterflies in my stomach even worse. The longer we sat there the more confidence I built up so after some back and forth in my mind I decided to lean into his side and rest my head on his shoulder. For a few seconds he tensed up and I worried that I'd done the wrong thing but after a while he relaxed and moved his arm again this time around my waist. That was all the indication I needed to know that he must have some form of feelings for me as although Pablo is touchy with other people he would never do this if he didn't have feelings for me. 
We stayed in that position for the rest of the movie and only when it was over did we move slightly to put a small gap between us which was mainly to avoid Pedri asking questions. After the movie we all talked for a while until it was getting quite late and although I was willing to stay up later Pedri wanted to make sure I got home as I have work in the morning so I agreed to let him take me home along with Pablo. This time Pablo sat in the passenger seat but he kept turning round to talk to me and involve me in the conversation which quickly turned to football and what they were doing in training. 
Once we got back to my place me and Pablo said goodbye to Pedri as Pablo doesn't live far so will usually walk the rest of the way from mine. After Pedri left things got a bit awkward as it was clear that both of us wanted to say something but just didn't know how to start. Seeing as we were just stood outside in the cold and dark I decided it would be a good idea to at least go inside as then we can talk for a as long as we need to. Without thinking too much I grabbed his hand and walked up to my apartment and I only realised what I'd done when we got it my door and I had to let go of his hand to grab my keys. When we got inside things were just as awkward for a few moments until Pablo broke the silence. 
"I'm just going to say it I like you y/n and not just as a friend I know that this makes things awkward not just between us but also with Pedri but I can't hide it anymore being apart from you for so long made me realise just how much I love you which is why this is so hard to say" he rambled 
"Hey stop rambling I like you as more than a friend too" I admitted 
"Hearing you say that makes me feel so much better now I can finally ask will you be my girlfriend?" He asked 
"Of course I will" I answered 
He looked at me smiling for a moment before asking if he could kiss me which of course I said yes to. Pretty much as soon as I said yes his lips crashed against mine in the most amazing kiss I've ever had. I didn't want it to end but eventually we both pulled apart and he gave me one last kiss before leaving to go back to his place leaving me stood in my hallway smiling like an idiot at the fact that Pablo is now my boyfriend, life couldn't get any better.

My top 15 kpop albums of 2023
It's been a year since I posted something. At this point, I feel I'm only writting to keep a record for myself of my favorites of the year. Still, if anyone cares to read this, know I've posted my favorite korean music and dramas of the year every year since 2016. First up, my favorite albums of 2023.
15. Heize-Last winter. I've honestly been in a Heize break for almost two years because I felt her songs started to sound too much alike but this album got me excited for her music once again. It has bearly been a week since it came out so I did hesitate including it but I think it portrays my favorite style of hers so at the end I was like "yeah, it deserves a spot". Forget me not feauturing BIG NAUGHTY's beautiful vocals is my favorite song of the album. However her title, a collab with 10 cm, is a close second. Picnic of the Night gives us a more uptempo beat and Chan's sweet vocals are so relaxing. I think I will be listening this album a lot in the next few months.
Tumblr media
14. PENOMECO-Rorschach (Part 1). Ever since Penomeco entered my radar I have loved pretty much everything he has released. I do prefer his more chill music but this year he brought us more of his hip hop side and released two mini albums called Rorschach, both could have easily made my list but I think at the end of the day I like the album he released in april a bit more, and he does have two songs with Zico in this one, which did tip the balance for me. As I said, I do like his more layback music so my favorite song is Margiela feauturing Paul Blanco. The album starts with strong beats with Boy Pablo (2019) and stays on track with his title song Rindaman feauturing Zico. His other collab with Zico: Pew! is also a fiery song. As is Bubble. He slows down for his other three songs and they all are such a great listen.
Tumblr media
13. TREASURE-Reboot. I think TREASURE has had really bad luck, from their delayed debut to the ups and downs lately. The thing is I've always prefered those groups I actually feel excited to listen to their whole albums and TREASURE has really delivered in all of them as far as I'm concerned. People keep saying YG is holding them back by making them have the typical YG songs like BONA BONA or STUPID on this album but since I'm a fan of those kind of songs so I really look forward to it. However it was the songs by their subunits I actually liked the most MOVE is just such an exciting song and THE WAY TO by the vocal unit is just my kind of ballad. To be fair listening to Jungwoo and Jihoon sing is such highlight for me on all of their songs. I just love their tones.
Tumblr media
12. Taeyeon-To. X. 2023 was a year where I really got into Taeyeon's discography. So I was really excited for this comeback. The title To. X is a fun midtempo break up song. I would have liked Melt Away more as the title but I did love both songs. This is also a recent release so I moved it up and down in my list a lot. I'm also having a hard time picking a favorite song. I also enjoy listening to Fabolous with the quorky beat and witty lyrics but I think I actually liked all the tracks equally.
Tumblr media
11. VIXX-CONTINUUM. VIXX has changed a lot over the last few years but somehow this album with only Leo, Ken and Hyuk sounds very much like VIXX used to sound in 2015. They really stand on their own and all of their voices are amazing. However I've always had a soft spot for Leo and his vocals in Lilac are just heavenly. Probably why I love that ballad so much. I was actually surprised with Hyuk's low vocals that give a needed twist to Leo and Ken's power vocals. All five songs in this mini album are so good. The title is Amnesia and the MV aesthetic is obviously inspired by the movie Dune.
Tumblr media
10. NCT DOJAEJUNG-Perfume. This release kind of blind sighted me. I never thought Doyoung, Jaehyun and Jungwoo would come together in a subunit so in that sense they reminded me of the time I heard EXO CBX was debuting. I really love the title Perfume. It's one of those rare times the title is actually my favorite song of the album. I thought they would do a ballad for their title but the fact it was an upbeat sexy song was unexpectedly right. Doyoung is my favorite NCT vocalist so listening to him this whole album was such a joy. Jaehyun's vocals can be a bit overlooked in NCT127 just because Douyoung and Taeil are so amazing. Listening to him have more time in this album to shine was exactly what I wanted. I love Jungwoo's personality and honestly I was afraid he would get a bit lost in this album but my worries were unnecessary. Often I found his low notes were that little bit of spice the songs needed in this album. I loved all the bsides but Dive and Strawberry Sunday were specially a fun listen. And of course they had to do a traditional SM ballad (Ordinary) which is just beautiful.
Tumblr media
9. D.O.- Expectation. I'll never stop wishing for EXO's Kyungsoo to do an r&b album but his heart is in easy listening heartfelt songs so I can't complain. I'm just happy to get anything from him as a solo artist. This mini album has so many pretty songs. I do is my favorite hands down and one of my most played songs of the year but Lost (both the acoustic and the regular version) is such a fun song to listen to and could have easily become the title. The vocals and the melody are so powerful. Ordinary days and The view also have a fun melody. The title Somebody is really catchy and the MV is so sweet.
Tumblr media
8. TXT- The name chapter: Freefall. I have to confess I haven't gotten into TXT's content. I just came to like them gradually in the last couple of years and there was so much to catch up on that I haven't really get to know the members at all but the albums are a different story. Deep down is my favorite of the album but Happily Ever After is also a highlight. The title Chasing the Feeling gave us a fun retro beat and the chorus was really addicting. I also found Skipping Stones to be an interesting song. Love the guitar and bass on that one and the vocals by Beomgyu, Taehyun and Huaningkai are just heavenly. And of course the collab with The Jonas Brothers was a bit unexpected yet exactly what I didn't know I wanted.
Tumblr media
7. Zion.T-Zip. This was almost out of my list because I just listened to it a week ago, but I had to add it. Zion. T is just so unique and entertaining to listen to. His collab with AKMU called V is my favorite. But as expected, this is a no skip songs with great use of instruments, beats, vocals and occasional rapping. He even released three MVs for this comeback (Stranger, V and Unlove). The album is 10 tracks long yet only sums up 26 minutes. Thank u featuring Yun Seokcheol is also a highlight.
Tumblr media
6. V-Layover. To be honest, I was not excited for V's solo stuff. I was expecting a lot from Jungkook and Jimin but not from him. I don't know why. So it was so surprising when I actually wasn't excited with the songs they released but I really loved V's album. It's my fault really because I do tend to overlook Taehyun's vocals when listening to BTS. The sound he went for it's exactly my kind of music. Layover just feels sophisticated. Blue is definitely my go to song with its fancy r&b sound and Love me again has my favorite beat of the album. Slow Dancing is so sweet and For us takes you in a journey. The album is only 5 songs but from the first listen I knew it would make my top 10 of the year.
Tumblr media
5. NCT 127-Fact Check. For me, this is the first NCT127 no skip album. I liked LIMITLESS a lot but even that one has a couple of songs that are just not for me. NCT 127's titles are either a huge hit with me or they rub me off, this time around I found Fact Check so addicting. I love Space's melody but Misty is my favorite overall. Everyone's vocals are on point but Taeil is such a wonder to listen to on that one. Love is a beauty is also a great ballad. Parade might be a hiphop heavy song but Doyoung's beautiful vocals really stand out to me. And Angel Eyes gave me a bit of NCT U's With you vibes. I love Mark's parts in Je ne sais quoi then again everyone sounds so good in that song.
Tumblr media
4. Taeyang-Down to Earth. Taeyang came back with a bang. Every song on the album feels so big. I wasn't a fan of the title VIBE featuring BTS's Jimin on the first listen, but it really grew on me. The chorus just pops in my head from time to time out of nowhere. Shoong featuring Blackpink's Lisa is amazing, and the performance video is crazy good. Seed is the power ballad of the album. Nightfall featuring Bryan Chase is also a highlight with its retro pop beat and beautiful vocals.
Tumblr media
3. Taemin-Guilty. The void Taemin left while he was in the military could not really be fulled by anyone else. He's just different. And yes, a lot of it is the performance but the music always comes first. This album is only six songs but they all are so good. Not gonna lie, the first time I heard The Rizzness I was confused because the strong beat and rapping surprised me. I didn't know if I liked it but it really grew on me after hearing it a couple of times. I'm obsessed with She loves me she loves me not and its playful melody plus it's definitely my most played track of the album. Not over you and Blue takes us in a dreamlike journey.
Tumblr media
2. Red Velvet-Chill Kill. I was surprised to realize this is the only album from a girlgroup I liked this year. I even forced myself to listen to some albums of the most popular girlgroups right now but it's just not my kind of music. However this album is straight up my alley. A Velvet R&B album. I hadn't enjoyed a Red Velvet album so much since The Perfect Red Velvet. My favorite Red Velvet comebacks are always the one with a creepy twist so Chill Kill was on point with that strong beat paired with a sweet chorus. Knock knock (who's there) is a seemless follow up to Chill Kill. Underwater is one of my favorites for sure but these days I keep going back to Nightmare. Iced coffee and One Kiss have catchy chorus while Wings is uplifting with beautiful vocals.
Tumblr media
1. EXO-EXIST. My Spotify Wrapped top 5 songs belong all to this album. It's actually the first time it happens. Despite me being an EXO-L, some pop or indie songs are usually in the mix, but I guess I missed EXO. They just did all the things I love in an EXO album: r&b, beautiful harmonies, and fun beats. I keep changing my favorite song of the album. At first, it was Regret it just because the production is so great. Then I was like, actually, all the falsetto and runs in Cinderella makes it my favorite. Yet I kept feeling No makeup was the perfect r&b EXO song, so I thought: that one for sure! But of course, the title Cream Soda is so catchy, and the chorus is expectacular, so obviously, that's the one. Nevertheless, Love fool is so much fun to listen to, and I do love Sehun and Chanyeol's verses in Another Day. Then why is my most played song of the year Let me In? And what about Hear me out that makes me happy every time I listen to it? Don't even get me started on Private Party's lyrics! Anyway, you get the idea, so just do yourself a favor and check out this album.

Got me kicking my feet & blushing reading all of these fr. Can you pls do first kisses with Pablo, Rafael, Luke & Scott? (Or if that’s too many just pick your favs)
yess of course i can :) love all of these guys!! they are just so 😌💕💕💕
ty for the request!
Pablo
okayokayokay
you'd think this guy would be like. super suave about this, right. you'd think that this guy would be super cool and charming
and he is. you would be right.
he's literally so smooth about it! which is amazing because internally he is absolutely freaking out
the two of you are back at his place, hanging out in the little living room area. it's late, edging on the early hours of the morning, and the two of you are sitting together on the sofa listening to some music he just had to show you. it's not like the loud, rock anthems he loves to blast on the regular; this song is slow, soft. he tries not to let you see that he's blushing.
both of you are tired and it shows. you lean against his shoulder, and he can't help but look at you and feel amazed because he just can't help but admire just how beautiful you are in that moment
it feels natural to the both of you. there's barely even a need to ask–nothing more than a mumbled, "can i?" as you incline your head just a touch to meet his jaw.
it's easy, it's deep, it's genuine. your eyes flutter close and he cups your cheek with one hand, pulls you close.
maybe it goes to more, maybe it doesn't, but neither of you are sleeping much that night lol
he's blushing about it all the next day, though. he's so in love with you it's crazy
Rafael
okay his is probably the most natural to be honest
it happens on an average day, just like any other. the two of you are lounging around his room just enjoying one another's company.
you're laying shoulder to shoulder on his bed, reading a book together. well, more like it's a book he absolutely loves detailing some of the greatest weaponsmiths of the generation and he's rattling on about it, flipping from page to page and pointing out incredible weapons he hopes to make someday while you listen and nod along.
it's late afternoon and the sunlight casts a golden glow into the room through an open window. it illuminates your features in a way that catches his attention enough for him to completely lose track of whatever he's reading to you mid-sentence. he doesn't even realize he's staring until you nudge him and ask if he's alright.
he just blurts out: "can i kiss you?"
and immediately his face goes bright red, because /why did i ask that oh no they're going to think im so weird/–
and you don't even answer. you just smile and lean in and kiss him.
it's sweet and short at first, and you pull back to see him staring at you all wide-eyed like you've just granted every wish he's ever had
obviously he's going to kiss you again. this time he pulls you in, and it's about ten times as sweet
aaaa he is just so <3
Scott
okok so this is a former frat boy right here. he's had plenty of experience with dating in the past, though nothing has ever felt like /you/. so, while he may be experienced, he still feels incredibly out of his depth
it's like the second he looks at you he just forgets everything he knows how to do. it's a struggle
i think he would try and make your time out together something big and romantic. like, he really tries. he invites you out on the town, he brings you flowers, he offers to pay for dinner, the two of you walk around the beach as the sun goes down. it's really pleasant, but it's also /really/ obvious that he's trying to set some kind of atmosphere. he just wants it to work with the two of you, and he thinks that if he goes big right off the bat, he'll get in a good start
scott has been through his fair share of breakups and failed relationships, and he's really nervous this will be the same. he doesn't want it to be.
the two of you spend this amazing evening together. you can tell how hard he's trying and it's endearing, yes, but also kind of sad, because you don't want him to think he has to do all of this just for you to like him
so you tell him that. the two of you sit on the dock after the stars have already begun lighting up the sky, your feet dangling down over the edge. it's just cold enough that the both of you lament your decisions not to bring jackets and sit against one another under the guise of warmth. you let him know that you like him plenty just the way he is. he doesn't have to go all out all the time.
he laughs it off like it's not a big deal. you can tell he doesn't really believe you. that's when you take the initiative to kiss him.
it's hesitant at first, and it melts into something sweet and soft. he's caught off guard, but he sure as hell isn't about to refuse.
suffice to say it's a very nice night for the both of you :)
Luke
okok i have a lot of feelings about luke
this guy over thinks literally every single thing. throughout most of your relationship you have to be the one to make certain moves, to initiate certain things, to let him know what you want and what you don't. it's not that he's oblivious, per se–he's actually surprisingly observant and he notices a lot! he just thinks himself in circles more often than not
i think that the idea of your first kiss is the same at first. he wants to, he really really does, but he keeps chickening out and worrying that you don't really want the same.
the two of you have been seeing each other for a little while by the time it finally happens. you aren't official, but you've been spending far too much time together to consider one another just friends. feelings are definitely there. honestly it's starting to drive the both of you a little crazy waiting
it happens on your first real date. he decides to take you out to eat and then the two of you spend some time wandering around, hanging out between his vineyard and the forest. it's dark, but fairy lights strung along the fences near his family's estate provide more than enough light for the two of you. you sit together, watching the stars or just talking. maybe he slips an arm around your waist and maybe you lean into him, savoring the night and each other's company. either way your hands are definitely intertwined soon enough.
i think the question comes spur of the moment, from you. you look over at him and ask bluntly something like: "so are you ever going to kiss me?"
his brain completely short circuits and for a moment he just kind of stares. his face goes bright red.
and then he does. it's definitely a little halted and nervous, and it's obvious he hadn't had too much experience, but it's so gentle and sweet. he runs a hand through your hair and pulls you close, and the two of you stay like that for a while, finally letting yourselves feel what you've been holding back
overall very sweet. he's a little dumb but <3

this song is beautiful but GIRL YOU MET HIM ONCE AND YOU LOVE HIM???
cami is an icon
PABLO YOU ARE A CARRYING THIS PLOT SIR <333

that was so fun!
pablo is still <3333
i dont care ludmila should be able to do whatever she wants i vehemently dislike her boyfriend

your fall out buck post is awesome do you have any other thoughts on what music you think buck would listen to ?
for some reason my mind interpreted this as eddie not buck and by the time i noticed when you meant i had already compiled a list for eddie so you get both! under the cut because, as usual, this got pretty long.
also here is my fall out buck post if you haven't seen it :)
buck—
i think aside from fall out boy, he was very into green day up through his early twenties. he was 21 in 2013, so there's no way he didn't also go through an arctic monkeys moment, blasting flourescent adolescent in his earbuds all the time.
"flicking through a little book of sex tips / remember when the boys were all electric" was a lyric that'd get stuck in his head constantly as he bartended
also, the chance of buck not being an imagine dragons fan is zero.
i definitely also headcanon he had his white boy rap phase. i mean, c'mon, the guy was 26 in 2018. between 2016 (24) to 2018 (26) we had blond, coloring book, the life of pablo, starboy, damn, flower boy, astro world...you get it. and buck in LA during this time, going through the academy in southern california? yeah, he listened to drake.
i think he has his soft pop favs now. i think he's mostly past the rap, still listens to his pop punk music but more in a nostalgic sense. i do think current buck is a big fan of noah kahan, walk the moon (specifically what if nothing, though he found them through shut up and dance), some hozier, a good bit of sufjan stevens and phoebe bridgers on a sad song playlist he has set to private.
he's definitely the type to listen to one song on repeat for days, and i think that happened with some of the songs off melodrama by lorde to the point that they were his top songs on his spotify wrapped, even if she wasn't one of his top artists.
something about buck listening to supercut as he drives around LA late at night you know?
"cause in my head (in my head i do everything right) / when you call (when you call, i'll forgive and not fight)"
or
"i'll be your quiet afternoon crush / be your violent overnight rush / make you crazy over my touch / but it's just a supercut of us"
when he's pining for eddie??? come onnnnnn
eddie—
eddie listens to classic rock, country music, and has a spanish songs playlist sophia made titled "canciones favoritas" that he has downloaded on his spotify.
he loves pink floyd, i think he's a big eagles fan, no doubt in my mind he listened to a LOT of the beatles growing up, and if you think he doesn't know every word to rumours by fleetwood mac, you've got another thing coming. eddie hums rhiannon under his breath as he cooks, a gentle rhythm that fills up his kitchen.
(buck's a little bit in love with his voice, always tries to bug him into singing out loud, and usually ends with them duetting queen loud enough for christopher to complain from his bedroom.)
but he's also from texas! he's got his classic country faves, privately listened to dolly parton whenever the house was empty. definitely a big george strait, willie nelson, rascal flatts fan. loves a good carrie underwood song, and he'll say it's because of his sisters until the day he dies.
(it's really not. there's just something about female country that eddie loves.)
his favorite song, though, now that he's older and in love and a huge sap is still the one by shania twain.
"looks like we made it / look how far we've come my baby / might've took the long way / we knew we'd get there someday"
"you're still the one i run to / the one that i belong to / you're still the one i want for life / you're still the one that i love / the only one i dream of"
he plays it for buck one night and they slow dance in the living room and eddie feels more love in his body than he ever thought possible, thanks.
now, the spanish song playlist. it has a truly absurd amount of selena.
like.
so much selena.
also gloria estefan, celia cruz, and enrique inglesias' 1995 album that he used to hate as a teenager but that, admittedly, grew on him.
i've included this in a fic, but i stand by it. i think one of eddie's favorite songs is algo contigo by rita payés and elisabeth roma.
"what is missing is me telling you that I would die to have something with you / and it is that you have not given account of how much it costs me to be your friend / now I can not get close to your mouth without wanting it in a crazy way"
(^ the lyrics are in spanish but this an english translation)
also every time eddie listens to baila esta cumbia or bidi bidi bom bom he subconsciously starts dancing to it and the way he sways his hips drives buck crazy <3
okay i hope this is good!!! i've been thinking about eddie's a lot lately, i could probably do a more in depth lyric analysis like i did with my fall out buck post if anyone would be interested :)

I'm curious about the Space Narrator Guy playlist
Ayy okay! Thanks for asking about the unnamed narrator in Space Don't Dictate Fate.
So that guy is the person who starts out my chapters. With the really flowy often poetic language. It's a pretty short playlist actually. That I do need to rework a little 😅. So his music is usually slower, deeper in meaning, melodic or jazzy, or just shit that'll put you in your feels.
The most representative songs for him on this playlist are
Flirting in Space by Brad Stank
-"She batted her eyelids. I have her my brain. Said, 'I prefer head boy" Can you say that again. Baby, I'm always. Flirting in Space. Flirting in Space."
Mickey Yr A Fuck Up by Elvis Depressedly
-"Mickey you're a fuck up. Heaven has a voice. I know that you're not like. All the other boys. I'm so tired of you. I'm so tired of you. I'm so tired of you. I'm so tired."
Te vas // don't go by boy pablo
-"Always tried to give my love to you. But you looked away. You gave your eyes to someone else. What am I supposed to do. Te vas, te vas. Te vas por que te vas? Don't leave, don't leave."

💕✨create the illusion of hanging out with your mutuals tag game✨💕
I was tagged by @perhaps-mr-collins-has-a-cousin Hello there! Stay healthy, friend!
are you a morning person?
No. Not in the slightest. Please do not chat/call/text me before I have drunk my coffee and it is past 9:00 AM.
ideal breakfast?
A soft boiled egg with a piece of toast.
favorite warm drink, and how do you take it? 
A latte with nonfat milk
sit in the sunshine or the shade? 
It depends on the time of year- if it is winter or spring, then sunshine. If it is summer, then definitely the shade.
favorite baked good? 
The oatmeal butterscotch cookies that a friend of my mom’s made when I was growing up
a song or album that makes you feel at peace? 
Rain by BTS . I like jazz, and it really does feel like looking through the window outside at a rainy day.
a chore that if someone completed it for you you’d love them forever?
Folding and putting away the laundry. Luckily, Mr. Poppy does it, mostly, because if it weren’t for him, it would just stay in the laundry basket in a heap.
favorite board/card game to play with friends?
Anything in the Rook/Euchre/Hearts/Spades family. I grew up playing Euchre as a regional thing, but Mr. Poppy’s family plays rook because they are from a different region.
what kind of snacks/candy do you want at a movie theater?
I normally like popcorn with lots of butter and a soda, but a giant roll of sweet tarts or sprees is good too.
bar with live music or bar with a pool table? 
This is tough. I really like live music, but some of my happiest times were hanging out with friends around the pool table when I was younger. I am terrible at pool, but it was about being with friends.
go-to wine/cider/beer/cocktail? 
If I am having cocktails I’ll usually order an amaretto sour.
go-to bar food? 
Nachos with lots of stuff on them.
are you tending the fire, looking at the stars, or singing campfire/folk songs?
Looking at the stars. I love watching for meteors, and looking at constellations and (if I’m far enough out of town) the Milky Way. But I will cheerfully do the other two as well! I’ve been to Wood Badge and OLS so I’m pretty good at building fires.
a favorite Scripture verse or prayer?
The prayer by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., that starts: Above all, trust in the slow work of God. [I am a very impatient person]

Personal Tag Game
I was tagged by @raksh-writes . Hi there!
Last song: “Late Night Talking” by Harry Styles. I really like it- it is such an ear worm. Very excited to see him this fall!
Last TV show: Obi-Wan Kenobi. The cinematography is amazing. Meh on the storyline though. When I die I want Pablo Hidalgo to be a pall bearer so that the Story Group can let me down one last time. Will continue watching just for the visual spectacle!
Currently watching: Also watching Bride of Habaek/Bride of the Water God. The premise started off really well but then never panned out. Instead of the search for the missing stones (which sounded cool) it’s just the two leads moping for each other and the female lead bordering on rude to her employee. Maybe other people would enjoy this plot more, but it is not what I came for. I am only watching to the end because I hate DNFs. [I also have second hero syndrome because the first lead is kinda bland. This is one of Nam Joo-Hyuk’s earliest roles so maybe he was just learning to act or the writers gave him boring material to work with]
Tumblr media
Currently reading: Momo/The Life Before Us by Emile Ajar/Romain Gary. It’s okay. It’s better than some things I’ve read so far this year, but not the greatest. It’s in the category of boyhood/apprenticeship novels. I hope it gets better? I’m only 1/3 of the way through, and I’m supposed to have it done by the end of today. 😳
Tagging (but only if you want to play, as usual!)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Brings North American Tour to Sold-Out Webster Hall
Tumblr media
Sophie – Webster Hall – June 6, 2024
Some songs transport you back to a memory or time in your life. For me, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)” brings me back to studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, and inhaling all the culture outside of my very American upbringing. At the turn of the decade, American pop from the ’90s to the aughts leaned into dance music largely due to the influence of Scandinavian-dance-pop producers Max Martin and Denniz Pop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Serving as the soundtrack for my time overseas, these nightclub grooves were largely anchored by DJs and pop songstresses such as Ellis-Bextor. I admittedly missed her 2001 global hit, “Murder on the Dancefloor,” but like many, I couldn’t overlook its resurgence thanks to an iconic finale dance sequence from last year’s buzzy film Saltburn. The singer, who has been murdering the dance floor since 2001, brought her infectious bops to a sold-out Webster Hall on Thursday night.

Opening with a take on Alcazar’s “Crying at the Discoteque,” the first lady of Brit-pop pranced onstage in a magenta sparkle, feathered fringe shift dress. The show was a mix of her catalog and features, as well as well-loved covers. To create a sense of spontaneity, the mother of five boys shared that her nights of song during the Covid shutdown were similarly mixed, and to encapsulate that mood, she brought out a wheel of songs to be sung. With a spin, “Reflections,” off her last record, Hana, was chosen and performed. Engaging in a bonding experience of group choreography, hand and arm gestures formed across the floor for “Hypnotized.” After generous leg kicks and traversing the stage left to right, guitarist Pablo Tato joined the singer seated for an acoustic version of “Young Blood.” A quick change into a yellow dress with orange tassels ushered another wheel spin, which had Ellis-Bextor vetoing the choice and opting for ABBA’s ”Dancing Queen.”

My aforementioned throwback song, “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love),” was intermixed with “Lady (Hear Me Tonight)” “Can't Fight This Feeling” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).” Everyone in the room hushed — and became her disciples — as they were taken to church with a cover of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” Truly grateful at the end of the set, Ellis-Bextor was prepared for a crowd of people who were in attendance just to hear that song from a film, but the pop star was pleasantly surprised that folks actually came for the song that ignited the mirror ball over the dance floor and much more from her two decades of music. Not willing to say goodnight, she had to perform the site-specific “New York City Lights” and the Armin van Buuren collab track, “Bittersweet.” Quickly moving to the balcony, guitarist Tato and the vocalist performed an acoustic version of the Theaudience’s “A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed,” dreamily capping off the evening. —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0ck

Ode to a child who is now Mr. Gould (s/o pablo neruda, s/o bishop nehru (been jamming those old albums), s/o to haruki Murakami) my word is bond | Christian Rene, 2023
I have caffeine withdrawal. I’m so broke that I’m scared to buy coffee. I know I have the money to buy coffee, cigarettes, and gas for my car at the least. But I find myself caught in my usual strange behavior, enslaving myself to fears that are unworthy of acknowledgment.
“I can run outside today. Enjoy the fresh air and the surroundings God has blessed me with.”
I had a friend at the age of 10 who was the same as me. He lent me a couple of films, invited me over to his family’s apartment, laughed with me, talked to me for countless hours, never made fun of my stutter, called me quite often, gave me quality time that 10-year-olds don’t often realize they have, and I believe he loved me — a true brotherly love.
I abandoned him after his family moved away. He’d call me often, and I’d pretend I had no time to talk. All I did afterward was watch cartoons, play with toys, and play with other boys. I never returned the couple of films he lent me. And I haven’t a clue where they are today. I lost my brother’s film, trust, and love.
What if, on a nice day, with such nice weather, I decide to run outside, and my long-lost brother finds me on the sidewalk? Running around as if I had never broken a person’s heart, as if my brother hadn’t relished in the thought of this day for 16 years, as if I, the clueless ingrate on the sidewalk, never apologized.
Only if he knew that I missed him for some years after he left. I was near the age of a man and I missed the consideration of another. I hope he's forgotten about me. I hope he no longer likes the film he lent me. I hope he loves himself enough to dance outside of his yard, with a cold bottle of Budweiser that hurts to hold. I hope he has found a passion. If he's a richer man than me, then I'll be an even happier man than him. I hope he loves someone that fucks him often. And if he doesn't care for sex and his lover cares for him, may God bless their union.
I'm sorry. Let me plead to you, at least! I thought about calling you, not too long ago! I searched all over the internet for you! To find you! To find your phone number!
I smiled when I found your Facebook. I found your phone number. Your looks haven't changed much. You're still a lanky kid with glasses. You look kind of dorky. That was one of your charming qualities.
I wanted to call you - I nearly did. But I wasn't high enough.
Mr. Gould, if this thought compensates for the hurt I might've caused, I wonder if I love you. If you died tomorrow, I think I'd feel something -
a rusty slash against my wrists, loss in my heart, a loveless wall stopping my fist, or the comfort of 10 Budwesiers in my stomach.
I doubt, that I'd cry, but a beat in my chest would momentarily go off rhythm.
I'd walk down the sidewalk and trip - not thinking of the direction I'm going, but where you'll end up after death.
Mr. Gould, if this thought compensates for the hurt I might've caused, I think about dying often. Not because I want to die. I just wonder about you often and I know if you were angry while driving, you might have the urge to kill me. I'd understand. I think I deserve it.
I pray it happens now.
Because I'm you, Mr. Gould. I lost a best friend. A sister. I didn't give her any films. I gave her records. I didn't have any money, so all I gave her other than music was sincerity, love, and the clothes on my back.
I'm sorry, Mr. Gould.
I didn't deserve your love, your final phone calls. Why didn't you call me to ask for your film back? Or say "I know your love is leaving, but I'll always love you despite yourself! If you find me again, put down the blunt, you unloving fool! You won't ever have to call me! Tell you love me! I don't need your friendship! Just tell me that you love me!"
I'm sorry, Mr. Gould.
I now miss you. I remember the film to this very day.
I'm sorry, Mr. Gould.
If I see you again, I'll strip off all of my clothing and give them to you. Just don't kill me, Mr. Gould!
I'm sorry, Mr Gould! I'm sorry, Mr. Gould! I'm sorry, Mr. Gould! I'm sorry, Mr. Gould! I'm sorry, Mr. Gould! I'm sorry, Mr. Gould! I'm sorry, Mr. Gould!
I think about you and can't even eat, Mr. Gould! I can't even drink, Mr. Gould! I can't even sing, Mr. Gould!
I thought I'd never love again, Mr. Gould! But I thought about you,
I love you, Mr. Gould!

Week ending: 7 October 1954
Two songs again this week, for the first time in a while. I'm wondering if there's going to be an annual pattern to this, like perhaps people get tired of summery songs and start wanting something else at a certain point in the year, or they start wanting Christmas music around Christmas and stop wanting it abruptly afterwards. But maybe that's me reading too much into things. It'll be a while before I get a feel for it, I suspect.
Sway - Dean Martin (peaked at No. 6)
I thought I knew this song, and it turns out I did, but the intro almost had me convinced otherwise. I think this is the standard English version of this song, but I've just never really listened to the intro? The only other version I might know is a Michael Bublé version, or a Rosemary Clooney version, so perhaps I'm confusing it with one of them?
Either way, once the intro - all plucked guitar and startling orchestral hits - we get into a familiar, Latin-sounding chorus. I know it, and so do you: "When marimba rhythms start to play / Dance with me, make me sway..."
There's a poetry to the lyrics that I actually really like, with Dean exhorting his love to hold him "Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore", wich is both evocative and furthers the exotic, tropical vibe we've got going on here.
It's also sexy! They're dancing - that's the excuse for all this swaying and embracing - but it's definitely having a sexy effect on Dean. Why else would we hear about his love's "magic technique", or about how "When we sway, I go weak". Heck, at the end he encourages them to "Make me thrill as only you know how". It errs on the right side of innuendo - at the end of the day it could pretty plausibly still be a song about dancingbut it's undeniably a sexy song.
There's something about the way Dean's singing that fits well with this, especially combined with the Latin rhythms. I don't know, there's just something very sexy about it as a sound, even without the lyrics - there's a reason there's periodically a boom of Latin-infused pop hitting the charts. We'll see it again in the 90s, for example, and again as the 2010s get going.
For once, this one's a cover of an actual Latin song, too, ¿Quién será? by the Mexican composer Luis Demetrio, as performed by Pablo Beltrán Ruiz. So it's got pedigree - the best known version before Dean's was by a guy called Pedro Infante. Dean's version was the first English version, though, and apparently a big hit globally. Pretty cool.
The Story of Tina - Al Martino (10)
Well, it's a waltz, and the instrumental introduction has something a bit like the music from Sleeping Beauty to it. I don't know, it conjures up fairytales to me, especially when Al finally comes in, with the backing singers behind him. It's very Disney and cutesy, and genuinely quite pretty.
I'm expecting a story, from the title, and we do begin promisingly, as we're told that "The story of Tina began in the springtime / When Tina was sweet seventeen". So the scene is set, at least.
We then get the set-up for a conflict as we learn that "The boy said he loved her / And she gave a promise / The truest that ever has been". I know how stories work, and how seventeen-year-olds work, so I was absolutely ready for there to be a twist here, where the boy would - for better or for worse - let Tina down in some way. But no, we cut to a wedding, and then forward into the future, where we are informed that "still they are sweethearts / though years roll away".
It's a bit disappointing, if you're expecting a twist, but the song does still have a surprise or two for you. You can work it out from the rhyme scheme a moment or two in advance, sure. But if you ignore that, there's a bit of a twist when Al sings about "the story of Tina and meeeeee". He's the boy! It's him! He's married to Tina!
This isn't true, by the way - Al had three wives, but none were called Tina. Instead, we've got Jenny, Gwendolyn and Judi. So Tina was probably just picked because it sounded trendy in 1954. What a time capsule of a name!
The reveal is followed by a repeat of the whole "story", but before that we get the best thing about this song, a brass solo that's deep and weirdly echoey, like somebody was playing a euphonium at the other end of a hallway. It's a strange choice, but not a bad one, and I like it a lot more than I probably should. It feels whimsical, and kind of fun.
And then the repeat. It's not the most exciting thing ever, especially given the lack of stakes in this story, but it's not the worst. There's a Big Old Ending, of course, but it's restrained, as this sort of thing goes, and we get some nice instrumental touches. It still makes me think of Sleeping Beauty, and that gives the whole song a sort of idealised, fairy tale vibe that I do like.
Well, those were certainly two songs. Neither was objectionable, actually, but one definitely feels like a safer bet. The other, meanwhile, is fresh, forward-looking and weirdly sexy. It's a classic, and there's a reason for that. So...
Favourite song of the bunch: Sway
