treat you better — j. maybank

❝ tell me, why are we wasting time on all your wasted crying when you should be with me instead? i know i can treat you better ❞

pairing: best friend!jj x cheater!reader

context: once again, you went through your boyfriend's phone and found things you didn't wanna find. but for some reason, you can't seem to build up the courage to finally end things with him (he was your first love, after all). so, you turn to your best friend, jj, for advice and comfort.

words: 1.4k+

warnings: reader's in a toxic relationship, mild cheating (physical & emotional, but i don't condone it!!), a little angst, fluff

you sat at the edge of the pier at the chateau, your eyes focused on the way the moon reflected off the marsh. you had just snuck out of your boyfriend's house after he fell asleep and you looked through his phone.

adriana. kelly. paige. maya. lauryn. the number of girls' names you found in his insta dms and messages went on and on.

why did you put up with this? i mean, sure, he was your first… everything, but was he really worth it?

"y/n?" you hear a familiar voice call out your name and turn your head to find jj walking down the dock to join you. "what are you doing out here?"

"just needed some time to think," you said, looking back out towards the marsh.

jj lets out a sigh, already having an inkling of what must be bothering you, and takes a seat beside you. "let me guess… liam again?"

"i just don't understand why it can't just be me," you shrug, a thousand things running through your head. most of the time, liam told you the girls were just his "friends". but deep down, you always wondered whether or not he took it any further with any of them. and that thought, alone, made you sick to your stomach.

"i mean, am i doing something wrong?" you turn your head to look jj, only to find that he was already looking at you, a certain kind of sadness filling his baby blues. he hated that you even thought you were the one in the wrong.

"it's not you, y/n. whatever he's doing, it's on him," he tells you. "stop putting up with it."

"but i love him, j," you admit, your voice cracking a little. you knew that you shouldn't. he was a scum bag. nothing but a cheater. but he was also the guy who made you feel like the most special girl in the world. the one you'd completely laid yourself bare to. "what am i suppose to do about that?"

the defeated look in your eyes broke his heart. but instead of listing off different ways you could deal with liam, jj decides to be a friend, and opens his arms up to you, "come here."

for the first time all night, you let yourself break, and immediately fall into his arms.

"i just don't get it," you sobbed into jj's chest, as he ran a hand through your hair and rested his head on top of yours,

in an attempt to soothe you. "i've done everything, j." you continued. "everything he needs from me, i do. everything he wants me to be, i try to be. so why can't he just let the other girls go? why can't i just be the one?"

hearing you cry about this guy was not only breaking jj's heart, but also making his blood boil. liam didn't deserve you, he knew that much.

after a few minutes in silence of jj just running his hands through your hair and pepperring soft kisses on your head, you finally pull away from him, looking like a complete mess.

there were now black stains under your eyes from crying some of your mascara off, and pieces of your hair stuck to your tear-stained cheeks, as you sniffled.

"i'm sorry," you said, attempting to rub off the mascara stains also leftover on jj's shirt. "your shirt's all stained with tears and mascara now."

"i don't give a shit about my shirt, y/n," he tells you, bringing a hand up to tuck your messy hair behind your ear. "are you okay?"

you sighed, the tears threatening to well up in your eyes again. ugh. after hearing yourself going on about the way you've felt about liam treating you, you were beginning to wonder whether or not it was really love you were feeling for him or not.

but if it wasn't love, why did you still feel like crying?

"i don't even know anymore," you say honestly, shaking your head and running your fingers through your hair. "i mean, how do you even go about loving someone who's hurt you so much?"

"you don't," jj tells you.

"you don't think i love him?" i asked. i wasn't sure why i was asking jj, but i also knew that he knew me better than anyone. maybe even better than liam. so if there was anyone who could tell whether or not i was in love… it'd be him, right?

"i can't tell you how you feel, y/n," he says.

"i'm not asking you to," i reply. "i just wanna know what you think."

he sighs, and shifts his eyes between yours. he knew exactly what he wanted to say, but he wasn't sure it was his place to do so—more so, he wasn't sure you'd like his take.

"promise you won't get mad?"

you chuckle, feeling uneasy now. "why would i get mad?"

"i think you're scared," he says, causing you to furrow your brows.

you scoff, thinking he sounds ridiculous. "scared? why would i be scared?"

"because he's your first," he shrugs. "i mean, he was your first, right?"

"so? what does that have to do with anything?" you ask, knowing damn well the information was relevant.

"i know you, y/n," he says, locking his eyes with mine. "you're a hopeless romantic who has your head buried in those romance books all the time because that's what you want. you want your first to be the one. and you're a perfectionist. you can't stand the idea of putting your all into one person only for them to not be worth it… so all this time… that's what you've tried to do."

you stay quiet. jj was actually making sense.

"i'm not saying you didn't love him," he continues. "i think you really did, but the love you felt before isn't what you're feeling now. i think it's just indifference. you don't want to believe that you've actually lost feelings for someone you've fought so hard for, so you try to convince yourself those feelings are still there. because that way… at least you won't be the bad guy."

your mouth had fallen agape, as you realized that jj was right. "wow."

"but you're not the bad guy anyway," he assures you, placing a hand on top of yours. "you've done all you can. what he does isn't your fault. your only fault would be staying."

"but what if he's fucked me up so bad that i've become unlovable?" you ask, voicing your real fear. truth was, you weren't always the best girlfriend. since liam made you feel so insecure about his feelings towards you all the time, it made you act out in ways you never thought you would. you'd call him incessantly when he wouldn't answer. you'd demand he cut certain girls off. ask for his location at all times. he saw the absolute worst of you. and yet, he stayed. what if no one else did?

"is that really what you think?" jj asks.

"i wasn't always the perfect girlfriend, j," i admit, glancing down and fiddling with his fingers on top of mine. "i was insecure all the time. i constantly-"

"because he made you feel that way," jj cuts you off, and picks your head up with his hands to make you look at him. "don't you get it, y/n? whatever you did, it was because of him. anyone made to feel insecure would act out. that's not your fault. you're just…" his eyes shift between yours. "human."

"but what if-"

"but nothing," he shook his head. "you are the absolute perfect version of yourself, y/n. and liam's an idiot for not realizing that. it doesn't get better than you."

without even thinking and being overwhelmed by the sweetness of jj's words, you lean in to kiss him.

he doesn't even hesitate to kiss you back, his hands on your face immediately tangling into your hair.

your hands make their way to back of his head, the kiss deepening as they do.

your tongues dance together in perfect harmony, until you abruptly pull away.

"wait, wait, wait," you say, and he looks at you, a mix of confusion and sadness at the lost of touch present on his face. "this feels wrong."

he glances down, "oh."

"no, not like that. i mean-" you take a deep breath to get your words together, while jj just looks at you. "the kiss was great. amazing, even. it's just… i'm still technically liam's girlfriend."

his eyes light up at the compliment about the kiss, before he chuckles, "shit."

i am neutral towards galladads (more so...towards no), but every so often i tangle with my personal takes (or what i'd love to see) and i wanna share. strap in, it's long. pt. 1

Ian doesn't push the thought of kids. They had a conversation about it after s11x12, but it took some time, it wasn't immediate. Basically, I think Ian relished the idea of being an uncle for a while. After all, it's always Mickey before anything.

They took care of Franny, Freddie (+upcoming kiddo), and Liam when they were asked to as favors. It subconsciously became this mental practice for them. Some unspoken tension kept rising, cause they felt the other was thinking the same thing but went unmentioned. Partially cause Ian decided not to press, and doing so meant breaking that threshold.

I think Mickey brought it up one day probably, Ian felt somewhat defensive at first, but since he always reminds Mickey about the importance of "communication," it'd bite him in the ass, so he gave in and spoke his truth. They had another conversation about it that ended in an agreement to see a "shrink." They started going, it was a deconstruction of years of trauma, fears, repressed emotions, y'know the drill.

Considering that they were between 25-27 when the show ended, I think they engaged in "intense" therapy for like 5-7 years maybe. Trying to talk through the bulks of it, for the purpose of parenting in the near future.

Through that time, they first contacted Debbie, had thoroughly researched artificial insemination (pls mickey thinking he would have to bang Debbie makes me cry 💀), had a lengthy talk with her. I haven't reached shameless far enough to know Debbie's character, but I think she probably gives them informed advice, a lot of "you guys sure you wanna do this??" And I don't think it stems from a place of objection, more so worry. I like to think she eventually caves in and accepts to help them when they're ready. She loves Ian, Ian loves Franny and Debbie (fuck JW for making it seem like he doesn't in s11) and Mickey and Debbie are besties.

(this is a huge reach but I ponder nonetheless) After thinking of Debbie, I think maybe Ian thinks of Mandy. I fully believe (like many other people) that Ian kept in touch with Mandy from time to time ever since she left, and at some point encouraged her and Mickey to reconnect. It's a slow process, but he knows both of them needed it and yearned for it deep down.

He breaks the news to her that they're gonna be parents at some point, sort of fills her in on the process and the years of therapy, gets Mickey to tell her anecdotes too or whatever. The thing is, at some point in the conversation, he yaps about how he has always wanted two, a boy and a girl (because Ian is a dork like that). That Debbie is only gonna do this once for now because...well that was the agreement, ofc, and he just doesn't wanna overwhelm Mick with two kids of their own even though that's what they practically baby sit.

Jokingly (at first), Mandy offers herself as a surrogate in case they aim for another kid. Ian sheepishly declines, that he couldn't ask her after everything she's been through, but Mandy reassures him that shit is different now. Times have changed, and that even though it's a big deal, she'd comply. Ian says he'll think about it, talk with Mick in case shit does happen as to not spook him. It was a pleasant talk.

He talks to Mickey and at first he doesn't know how to handle the thought of two kids, one of them from Mandy, and he almost feels like all this time in therapy could crumble down at the thought of Mandy being a surrogate. They have a long ass talk.

At the end Mickey affirms that he is open to the responsibility of two kids. The whole thing goes like Ian telling him he doesn't have to do this, that he's fine with just one and that he doesn't have to comply just because Ian would love two kids, and Mickey being like "all these years and you still don't get it through your thick skull that you ain't making me do anything I don't want to" (affectionately ofc). He reassures Ian that if he's making these decisions with him it's because he wants to, and he admits he owes a lot of it to that "shrink" they go to he's come to appreciate. It was a lovely conversation tbh and many fears and goals were shared between them.

#shameless #gallavich #ian and mickey #ian gallagher #mickey milkovich #shameless us #gallavich headcanons #galladads #post canon #they'll be good dads #lots of therapy #but they'll pull through #ian x mickey #fluff #shameless s11 e12 #s11e12 #you're gonna be a great dad #gallavich meta

｡⋆｡˚🦋˚｡⋆｡

At Liam's suggestion, I decided to try both Jude and Ellis.

Liam: "In the end, your worry is that they might betray the Crown and sell our information somewhere else, right?"

Liam: "Then I thought, why not just leave the important documents there and see what happens?"

Harrison: "And where did you leave what?"

Liam: "A list of targets. I purposely dropped in the corridor next to Jude's room."

Harrison: "That's too obvious."

Liam: "What's the point if they don't notice it, right?"

While they were chatting, Jude enters the dining room.

Liam: "Ah, good morning Jude!"

Glancing at Liam, who greeted warmly with a gorgeous smile that charmed everyone, Jude tossed a paper in front of Liam.

Liam: "Hm? ...Ahh...I was looking for this. Thank you."

Jude: "These are confidential, isn't it?"

Liam: "Yes yes...I was so worried about losing it that I was crying to Harry, asking him what to do. If Victor found out that I had lost it, he would have been furious."

Jude: "Have you ever thought about 'trying to look for it' before crying?"

Liam: "Hahaha, you're right. Still, thanks for finding it for me."

Jude: "......You know, if I exposed this to the outside world, it would have ended both you and the Crown, right?"

Liam: "....!"

Jude: "Because you cannot trust people who can't keep a secret."

Liam: "Mm....I understand. I'll be careful."

Liam: "Ah...he's gone."

Liam: "What should I do, Harry? Does he hate me now...?"

Harrison: "I don't think so. His attitude is always like that, so don't worry about it."

Liam: "I feel right now, what he meant to say was 'Don't put the Crown at risk' right?"

Harrison: "If that's the case, that doesn't sound too bad."

Liam: "The fact that not only he picked up the papers but also gave me an advice, increases his credibility, don't you think?"

Harrison: "Well, maybe it was worth all that hate you got."

Liam: "Ahh!!? So you do think he hates me after all----!!!"

...........

That night....

Ellis: "...Ah, Harrison."

Harrison: "Oh it's you? That's unusual at a time like this."

Ellis: "I thought I'd have something to drink before I go to sleep. Are you working even at this time? You're so dedicated."

Ellis: "Do you want me to make you a sweet cocktail? Liam told me you have sweet tooth."

Without waiting for a reply, Ellis rifled through the shelves and deftly produced Grasshopper was presented to Harrison.

Harrison: "Did you work as a bartender or something....? It's so good."

Ellis: "I'm glad you liked it."

Harrison: ".....Liam is working so hard all the time, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't get dirty too."

Ellis: "Hm? Did you say something?"

Harrison: "No. Nothing...you're pretty handy."

Ellis: "You think?"

Harrison: "And you're kind to everyone since the very beginning. That's the truth for everyone."

Harrison: "So...I'm a little suspicious of you."

Ellis: ".....?"

Harrison took out a gun from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Harrison: "I've been following you and Jude for the last few days and if I said I wanted to play a game with you, would you mind?"

Ellis: "Game?"

Harrison: "Yeah. The rules are simple."

Harrison: "I didn't put a single bullet in this."

Harrison: "If you take my word for it and pull the trigger 6 times on your own head, you win."

Ellis: "6 times, to the head?"

Harrison: "If you have nothing against us, you can do it right?"

Ellis: ".....Okay, I understand."

Ellis quickly picked up the gun and with no hesitation nimbly pulled the trigger more than 6 times,

Harrison: "Ngh..."

Ellis: "Looks like I win?"

Harrison: "....Ah..Y-Yeah.."

Ellis: "So, one less thing for you to worry about?"

Harrison: "......Pfft."

Harrison: "You didn't hesitate at all."

Ellis: "Of course. I know that Harrison is kind."

Ellis: "You don't use live ammunition to test people."

Ellis: ".....Right?"

Harrison: "....So you're saying I wasn't able to completely fool you?"

Ellis: "Hmmm.....maybe."

Harrison: "Let me just say, just because you pulled the trigger without hesitation doesn't prove you have nothing to hide."

Ellis: "So, did I make you worry more?"

Harrison: "....Nope."

Harrison: "I'm not so cynical as to continue to doubt someone who trusts me so much."

Ellis: "....Thank god. Well then, would you like to have another drink?"

Harrison: "Sure, if you're making one."

The green cocktail glasses collided, making a light sound.

And just like that, few days later...

William: "Is the investigation going well?"

Harrison: "Well, things are going well. We've come to most of our conclusions."

Harrison: "I've finished my proofreading work and about to start on with my report."

William: "Oh. Then I guess you wouldn't be needing this info."

Harrison: "What info?"

William: "I asked Jude and Ellis if they are ready for their first mission, but they rejected saying they had work commitments tonight."

William: "What do you think?"

Elbert: "If it's in the middle of the night....all their business clients would be sleeping. What are they going to do?"

Alphonse: "Aha! Now that's suspicious."

Alphonse: "Honestly I don't care if they are good or bad, but this sounds like fun. So I'll follow them to see what they are up to."

Harrison: "Are you serious right now....?"

Liam: "Actually Harry..."

Harrison: "Mm?"

Liam: "When I was trying to work out their plans, something was odd."

Liam: "I went to the port in the middle of the night....and it seemed like some kind of investigation was going on around the warehouse that Jude was renting."

Roger: "Could be an inspection?"

Liam: "But then there's this rumor....that there a bad guy who's recently been released from prison going in and out of there."

Alphonse: "I think I heard that story somewhere before....I forgot where."

Harrison: "....Okay okay."

Harrison: "I guess, this will be the final round of investigation."

A few interesting tidbits from this week's F1 Nation podcast, including that DR broke his metacarpal in SEVEN places and some funny Gerhard/Daniel banter.

Pinkham: Something else that's difficult to predict, is what Alpha Tauri will do with their driver lineup next year. It's a good problem to have, because the talent on offer is pretty remarkable. Liam Lawson has stepped in in Daniel Ricardo's absence and done a great job. I mean he hasn't gotten in to the points yet, and we all miss Daniel don't we TC? How much? Clarkson: Oh huge[ly]. We love Daniel. I was amazed, by the way, that he broke his metacarpal in seven places – seven! I'm just looking at my hand now as I speak to you, I think crikey how can you - shattered. Pinkham: But let's just take one quick moment though to sing his praises. Because in that moment he could have gone into the side of Oscar Piastri, or turn in and, knowing that there probably would be ramifications, and painful ones for himself, and in that moment he did exactly that. I suppose the human instinct is to avoid collision with another human, but he's paid a pretty heavy price for it, hasn't he. Because just after his comeback he now looks like not coming back until potentially Qatar. I mean Singapore was always going to be too soon; such a physical circuit, such a demanding one particularly with steering wheel changes. But we're now hearing that he may not make it for Japan either. So that is four races; four races for Daniel in his comeback and four opportunities for Liam Lawson, who has done very well. He's taken it in his stride and he probably has taken Max Verstappen's advice that you told us about earlier, not overthinking it just go out there and do what comes naturally to you. It will be his first experience at the Marina Bay Circuit, a circuit which ironically Daniel has always done very well at, including of course last year after his McLaren contract had been terminated.

...

Pinkham: Daniel has to win at least two more races in Formula One, do you know why? Clarkson: I don't know, oh another quiz. I don't know tell me. Pinkham: Think about the guest on this week's podcast. He cannot retire from the sport with less race wins than his father-in-law. Clarkson: Ah [laughs] okay Pinkham: They're not getting married, it is his girlfriend's father. Just to clarify just to clarify, before we start getting any headlines.

...

Clarkson: Gerhard, it's lovely to see you. We've just been discussing your futureson-in-law on the show. Berger: Who is it? Clarkson: Daniel Ricciardo Berger: Well he’s changing all times so I don’t know. Maybe you're right for the moment.

now i'm thinking about peter hale creeping on, stalking the stalk all the pack members when they go off into the adult world because despite everything they're his little hooligans to bother with his existence.

like the idea of scott tolerating peter's presence more than his own father's is hilarious to me, okay. he knows what to expect from peter. which ranges from just because you bit me doesn't make you a father figure and stop creeping out my roommates and don't make me call derek.

stiles and peter mutually stalk each other in a delicate game of one- upmanship. stiles totally doesn't mis-use his fbi agent status at all for this. peter works to make it especially hard in response.

peter being oddly supportive of lydia and she dislikes it but also the flower deliveries to her office are pretty it'd be a shame to throw them away.

peter helping new single parent derek with baby eli and it giving derek an entire full ass crisis about his uncle.

he tries to give liam life advice regularly and liam is like you are not my real dad wtf.

peter absolutely would be invasively supportive of malia in her life choices. not going to college? suggests trade school. sleeping with jordan parrish? interesting choice here's some protection.

i don't know the idea of peter settling back into something resembling his pre-fire personality where he wasn't exactly a nice normal person and had boundary issues but protective of what he sees as his. just keep an eye on him so he doesn't set up your girlfriend to get bitten and than die from rejecting the bite, okay.

Great advice from Liam Neeson!

"They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love. Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday. Someone who showed you how to love. It's the worst thing to ever happen to anyone. My wife died unexpectedly. She brought me so much joy. She was my everything. Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses. Treat them well. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore. What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last. Because, one day, it will be. Take chances and go live life. Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday. Don't take any moment for granted. Life is worth living.”

Happy 28th! Here's my July 2023 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. Enjoy!

I Found Love In You (And I Learned to Love Me Too) by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry (166k)

After months of battling with his own demons, Louis goes back to get what he once left behind, but Harry's not sure if he showed up in time.

A journey of remorse, healing and love that's strong enough to break them down and build them back up again.

Sequel to 'love is a word, you gave it a name'.

Wild and Unruly by 100percentsassy, Gloria_Andrews / @100percentsassy, @gloriaandrews (123k)

Harry is a cowboy sitting on the biggest oil reservoir in Wyoming, and Louis is the paralegal assigned to pressure him into selling his land.

I Don't Wanna Face the Music by hereforh / @hereforh (95k)

Louis likes to think he's a pretty normal, typical lad. He likes spending nights at the pub with his mates, he loves football and is very close to his family. So when he moves to London for uni, he doesn’t think much will be different.

Until he makes these new friends who are nothing like his mates back home and change his life for the better - and this one boy who messes with his head from the get go and makes him question everything he has ever thought about himself.

(Take Me Home) Country Roads by Awriterwrites (86k)

“Sir, I can help you. Just let me — “ He tried moving closer but the eldest child blocked his way. He backed off, putting his hands out in a passive gesture. “I’m a physician. I can help,” he tried again.

The man shook his head vehemently, passing the cup back to his grandchild. “Tol’ ya. Don’t need ya.” All of the fire had gone out of his voice, leaving behind a frail, sick old man with barely any breath to talk.

“I have medicines...I could make you comfortable…” Louis’ voice was still small, but pleading.

“Mountain Mama cares for wha’s ailin’ me. Don’t need no fancy city doctors.”

Louis blinked at the man, still shaking from the coughing spell. Mountain — well, fuck. That backwoods, uneducated scam artist…

“Of course he is,” Louis said curtly. ***** OR a Northern Exposure AU featuring Louis as the big city doctor, Harry as a natural healer, Niall as a secretive barkeep, Liam and Zayn head over heels for each other but they don't know it and a lot of hurt, comfort and moonshine in between.

King of My Heart by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze (83k)

Harry shrugged, his shoulders brushing against Louis’. “I think since I was young, I craved that feeling, though. I didn’t always hate being a prince, but over time, certain aspects of it just bothered me so much. I remember being four years old and realising that every person in the world knew my name, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted that. I told my mum as much and she tried telling me that being a prince is not a punishment. That it was a privilege that I should be happy about it, but no one asked me if I was. But looking up at the sky, I remember that all of this will one day mean nothing, and neither will I. All the pressure will then disappear and I could just be.”

Louis stayed quiet, allowing Harry the space to open up because he knew Harry wasn’t looking for advice, but just someone to confide in. What he wished he could tell him was that in the short amount of time that he’d known the prince, in Louis’ eyes, he couldn’t be insignificant if he tried. He was brighter than every star up there in the sky. He was all Louis could look at and think about.

or A Red, White, and Royal Blue AU where Hollywood elite, Louis Tomlinson, finds himself falling for the closeted Prince of England.

These Bad Omens (I Look Right Through Them) by likelarry / @likelarryfics (82k)

How on earth does someone his parents' age look so damn hot? All of their other friends look... bland and boring.

But Louis, fucking hell. He's something out of Harry's wettest fucking dreams.

Where Louis is Harry's parents' friend and teaches at Harry's university. Harry can't resist getting a taste.

So Keep My Candle Bright by whisperdlullaby (78k)

Louis returns to his hometown after four years to find that the reverend’s son has done some growing up of his own.

Elephant Juice by stylinsoncity / @stylinsoncity (32k)

Harry doesn't understand boundaries. Louis doesn't mind at all.

'Wicked Love Blooming In The Dark Night' Story Event: Chapter 1

Liam's Route

I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by playing their games and buying stories. Not 100% accurate, expect mistakes.

read this before interacting with my posts

— Liam Evans. Member of Crown, and a stage actor who shines with overwhelming brilliance.

I didn't notice it until I was captivated by your special kind of brilliance that charms everyone.

…

Kate: Why did you hide it from me…

The darkness haunting your heart, and that abnormality—

…

That night, I found out about a forbidden secret that I shouldn't have known, and was made to work as a fairytale writer for one month.

Victor, the Queen’s aide, made a suggestion.

Victor: Miss Kate, I have a suggestion for you.

Victor: Your job as a fairytale writer is to keep a record of Crown’s movements, which means that you need to develop a greater understanding of the members.

Victor: And, therefore! You—

…

(“You should pick a member of Crown to be your boyfriend for a day” … huh.)

(That being said…)

Kate: I have no idea what I should do…

Liam: Fufu, why are you all alone and making that cute face?

(Huh…?)

I turned around when I heard a voice coming from behind me, but the only person I saw standing there was Harrison.

Harrison: …?

Kate: Pretty sure it was Liam’s voice I heard…

(Could it have been Harrison imitating his voice?)

Harrison: Oi, Liam. You’re making me look suspicious.

Liam suddenly appeared in front of me.

Liam: Okay, okaay. I’m right here.

Kate: Wah…!

(All of a sudden! Was that a magic trick?)

Liam: Ahaha, thanks for the lovely response.

Harrison: Ahh, this is your first time witnessing Liam’s special ability?

Harrison: His ability is to make himself “unnoticeable by others”. In other words, he can sneak into your room without you realising he’s there.

Liam: Hey, that sounded weird, Harry! I don't do that sort of thing.

Right, the people standing in front of me are members of an imperial organisation under the command of Her Majesty the Queen, who rules the country with the help of cursed people.

Liam: — Anyway, Kate. You were trying to decide who to pick as your boyfriend, right?

Kate: By any chance, were you eavesdropping on my conversation with Victor?

Harrison: I only have a vague idea of it. I don't know why that weird old geezer made such a suggestion…

Kate: He must've put a lot of thought into it.

Liam • Harrison: What?

Last night, I tagged along with William for my first mission as a fairytale writer.

I witnessed firsthand with my own eyes, how easy it was for someone to die because they were condemned for their sins.

Kate: Perhaps he wants this to be a chance for me to let go of my fear and anxiety, and keep going.

Liam: …

Liam: Hey, Kate. How do you want your day to go today?

Kate: Um.

Liam: It’s fine, it's fine. No need to think too hard about it, just tell me.

Baffled by the unexpected question, I gave it some thought.

(Let me think…)

Kate: I’d like my day to be as peaceful as possible.

Kate: I want to set my state of mind straight and face my role as a fairytale writer.

Kate: Oh, sorry. That sounded too naive. Please forget whatever I just said—

Liam: OK. In that case…

Liam: I’m volunteering to be a candidate for your one-day boyfriend.

Kate: … You?

Liam: Yup, I can make your day go the way you want it to. Besides, I want to get closer to you.

Liam: So, can I…?

(That sounds like a good offer.)

Kate: Thank you, Liam. I appreciate it.

Liam: Ahaha, that's great. Yay! I’ve been promoted to the position of Kate’s one-day boyfriend!

Liam: Now that it's been decided, I’ll go report it to Victor. Be right back.

Harrison: Ahh, look at him getting all excited because you picked him.

Harrison: … But I’m certain that “today”, that guy…

Kate: …?

Harrison: Listen, Kate. Just a word of advice. That guy will never do anything you don't want him to.

Harrison: Especially when you’re someone important to him.

Harrison: However, if you look at this from a different perspective—

Liam: Thanks for waiting, Kate. Let’s go out together. See you later, Harry.

Kate: Hey, Liam. Please hang on a second…!

Linking his arm with mine, Liam happily started walking.

Harrison: …

…

Kate: Where are we headed?

Liam: To an orphanage named “Bright House”. Oh, don't worry, it's not for a mission.

Liam: You already know that I’m a stage actor, right?

Kate: Yes, of course! The Scala is a famous theatre, and you’re very popular too.

Liam: Haha, I sure hope so. Thanks for the compliment.

Liam: Anyway, there are certain days when The Scala holds free performances. They often invite children from orphanages.

Liam: That’s how I became well acquainted with this orphanage’s director, and why I was invited to visit them today.

(Heh… so that's what we'll be doing today.)

Besides being a member of Crown, Liam was also a stage actor who brought smiles to many people’s faces.

Moreover, Liam was spirited, flamboyant, kind, and… charming.

(And to prove that right, every passerby is looking at him.)

The more time I spent by Liam’s side, the more I felt that he didn't suit the dark world Crown existed in.

(Why is he a member of Crown?)

Liam: Fufu…

Liam: I’ll get shy if you keep staring at me so much.

Kate: Ah, I’m so sorry.

Liam giggled cheerfully.

Kate: Should we get them souvenirs? Perhaps we could buy some snacks.

Liam: That’s a nice idea, Kate.

While we were walking through the market after buying some snacks as souvenirs, we came across a stall selling barrettes.

(Will my hair get in the way when I play with the children?)

Liam: …

Liam: Excuse me, can I have one of those? Yes, that's right. The loveliest one over there.

(...?)

Liam: Okay, Kate. Turn around for a moment. … I’m going to touch your hair.

Liam’s fingertips touched my hair, and with skillful hands, my hair was neatly put up.

Liam: There we go. Aha, you look cute. This barrette is a present from me.

Kate: Are you sure?

Liam: Yup, of course. Isn’t it my job as your boyfriend to make my adorable girlfriend happy?

(... I hadn't said a thing about the barrettes. He paid attention to what I was looking at.)

The act of kindness sparked so much joy in me, I felt that I had to return the favour.

Kate: That made me really happy. Can I do something for you in return?

I bought a cat design air accessory from the stall and gently put them in Liam’s hand.

Liam: Are you… giving this to me?

Kate: Yes. If you find it inconvenient or it’s not to your liking, you don't have to force yourself to wear it…

Liam: I could never do that. Because… you thought of me.

Liam pulled me in for a hug—

I'm taking a break from my essay, so I thought I would go over my opinions of Fiona.

The thing is, most of the time I understand her. I understand her wanting Debbie and the others to stop relying on her so much, I understand her leaving, I understand why she tried to convince Debbie to get an abortion and most importantly I understand why she wanted to avoid blame for Liam's coke incident. I'm not saying any of it is right, but I get her.

I'll go over my main points with her, good and bad.

The stuff I defend her on:

she supported Lip thru his alcoholism and he did not do the same for her, instead yelling and blaming her when if anyone, he should understand

she tries to convince Debbie to get an abortion because she fully knows Debbie is not emotionally mature enough to handle a baby (no hate, no 15 year old is) and doesn't want to have to deal with it, which is fair because she's accustomed to dealing with kids that aren't hers. I have friends who have to essentially parent their siblings, and I know they would definitely stay away if any of them decided to have kids of their own.

she tries to convince lip to go to college or at least stay in school because he can, despite how he's so adamant against it. despite how it means she has even more burden over the children

she leaves because she needs her own life (there's more on this later, don't worry)

However, I'm against her on these:

Fiona, babe, stop using being a Gallagher as an excuse for everything you do it's getting tiring. "I'm a Gallagher" I KNOW.

Fiona, if you dole out advice left right and centre to all your siblings, take some as well. she should have heeded people's advice about all the property stuff, she should have been more careful, but at the end of the day people make mistakes.

Fiona, take responsibility for your shit. You were Liam's legal guardian, I know she didn't intend to, but it was her responsibility to look after him. It's her fault. If Frank or Monica did the same by accident, I have no doubt she would blame them

Tell me, why does she hate the Milkoviches so much. Actively hating on Mandy, when she's just as much of a slag??? Not hating on slags, I am a proud one myself. But don't hate on others, don't be so fucking rude when Mandy simply wanted a place to feel safe. Also, I don't accept her Mickey-hate AT ALL. she didn't know him, told him he needed to admit Ian to a psych ward because that's what she knew, when realistically there can be other, better ways to help those with mental illness. Psych hospitals are for those at risk to themselves and others, but Ian hadn't become a risk until he stole Yevgeny (we don't know enough about whether he was suicidal or not). Also, let's not forget Molly. I can't comment on whether Molly was actually trans or not, because it's suggested that her mother just forced her to be a girl. Even so, no fucking need for the amount of transphobia.

Finally, she was Liam's legal guardian. For all her talk about how Ian's like Monica, she abandoned him which is a 'full on Monica move' to quote Fiona. She agreed that she would take care of him until he was an adult, and didn't make sure someone else would take over if she left. Also, she could have taken him with her.

Anyway, very mixed feelings about Fiona. I'm never sure how to feel about her, because like I say half the time I understand her. I get why she didn't want to admit to being responsible for the coke thing, because it made her feel guilty and worse, it made her feel like her parents. I def prefer her pre-season 4

Hey there, hello! Welcome to tumblr! Please tell me about your OC, I'd love to know about them! As much as you feel like writing down!💖

Thank you for the ask :D!

So I have... a few OCs for Fallout (This isn't even all the Fallout characters I have, just some of the ones I write about the most). The one I probably focus on the most though is the first one, on the left. His name is William S. Moore (although we'll just be calling him Moore, since that's what he prefers to go by). I might make more posts for the other three (plus the ones who don't have full references yet) in the future! But for now... I wanna talk about my little guy...

(pictured: a young Nora and Liam Moore)

William Shepard Moore, Sole Survivor of Vault 111, Sad Widowed Father of Several

(Pre-war)

Born the 9th of September of 2033, Moore's family originates from Ireland-- however, they quickly relocated to America to seek better opportunities for their only son, and so the family moves from Europe to Massachusetts. Moore always showed prowess more for history & literature than science, always being fascinated by world history, and more importantly, law. Being raised in a world with a constant fear of Communism, he sought to understand politics and the government that seemingly caused nothing but fear and panic in his family & friends. Despite how gifted he was, he was quite the trouble-maker, and his father believed that enlisting in the army would whip him into shape, just as it had done for him. Graduating at 18 in 2051, Moore decided to take his father's advice, and enlisted in the army.

His behavior was relatively clean while enlisted, and it wasn't until a war-time injury occurred two years later, with shards of grenade shrapnel made its way right near his right eye, that Moore found himself in dire trouble. While he lived and escaped the injury relatively unscathed vision-wise in the end, he was given a nasty facial scar, and the treatments and surgeries were plentiful and painful. Luckily for him, though, the nurse who took care of him most often was another soldier named Nora. When he was inevitably [honorably] discharged to rehabilitate from the injury, he promptly enrolled in college, deciding to study American Law. When he found out that Nora had enrolled in the same college as him, he jumped at the opportunity to try and befriend her, and throughout their long college years, they fell in love, and eventually got married after both got their masters in their respective fields.

Moore had a comfortable life as a lawyer; he was happy with Nora, with plenty of money to spare. Although the two of them believed they would likely never have the family they wanted due to Nora's chronic illnesses, it was discovered that Nora was pregnant with their first and only son-- a miracle baby, to say the least. Such a miracle inspired Moore to finally pursue something he had dreamed of for years, which was running for Mayor of Boston. He believed he could make the world better for his son, and he had already worked so hard on what he would do if he were to run, so he decided to run for office in 2076, just a year before the bombs fell. Although he had many supporters behind his back, his detractors were many; it had become exceptionally clear through media leaks that Moore had not been given the most mentally stable of minds, and many believed his PTSD made him entirely unfit for office; some using it as ammo to fire at his more left-leaning values. Moore was already exceptionally shy, but this treatment made him regress into his shell-- he forced upon himself a "perfect political persona," of sorts, completely repressing anything undesirable, and causing him to become more toxic in his own views of his masculinity. He would never get to see if this strategy worked, as the bombs fell before election day.

(pictured: post-war Moore)

(post-war)

Moore's story has many themes; it is him finding who he is while trying to survive the wasteland, and just as importantly, trying to find the family that he had lost so many centuries ago. The Wasteland of the Commonwealth is a ravenous, unloving beast, but while it may be cruel, there are some hidden good-sides to its chaos.

The first few months out of the vault were a kind of hell that Moore cannot even remember. He actually has no recollection of the time he spent in Diamond City or Goodneighbor, much to the dismay of Hancock. No one (including Moore) knows how he survived so long by himself, given the intense dissociative episodes from the new trauma of losing his entire family, and the Commonwealth itself being a never-ending reminder of the battlefield. The only reason he found his footing was because he had managed to accidentally stumble into Goodneighbor; the kindness of the residents to take him in and nurse him back to health while he was in his absent, half-dead state is one he can't remember, but still appreciates. Hancock was the one who paid out of pocket for the stranger to receive treatment ("no one is dyin' in my town. Not if I can help it.").

He befriends Preston Garvey afterwards, and the small group begin rebuilding what they can as they try to help Moore find his son. Moore takes quite well to the role of a leader of the Minutemen; he didn't think he would, but it makes him feel a bit better knowing he has people to back him up. It takes him many, many months to begin tracking down leads for where the Institute and his son might be, and he makes a few unlikely friends along the way... mainly the Mayor that took care of him way back when.

Moore is bad at forgetting, and hates remembering. He only travels constantly because he feels the need to be away from things that remind him of a life he no longer has. Nothing hurts more than the loss of his wife. Nora was more than the world to him; she took care of him, and he dedicated his life to her in return. Sanctuary reminded him of her, the songs on the radio about love, the giant Hubflowers that bloomed her favorite color... He hated remembering her, because he hated that he could never have her, again. His strong, fiery, extroverted wife, with a passion for ridiculous clothes, a girl who always spoke her mind.

...It sounds a little familiar, huh?

He didn't really realize this with Hancock, at first. He just thought he enjoyed the company, enjoyed not being alone... but when he did realize, it was initially so painful that he sent John home, much to the despair of seemingly both of them. So many things about their relationship was deeply painful. He had so far buried the idea of being queer, the idea of being vulnerable around someone, the idea of being himself... that he had forgotten what it was like to be happy with his life.

It takes him a while to really unpack this. To realize how much he'd accidentally fucked over his friendship with a man who had gone out of his gosh-darned way to take care of him... Just like Nora did. It's a lot to deal with the realization that you don't like the person you made, but it's a start. He realizes how much he actually cares about the people around him, the society he's helping foster... and that if he doesn't tell them now, he may never be able to, tomorrow.

While he falls in love both literally with someone and with the community he swears to protect, he finds the Institute, and his son. The son who terrorizes everything he now loves. It's hard for Moore to bear; the baby his Nora was so, so excited to love, is now telling him to his face that he cared little about the lives of his own parents. And despite how much it pains him, he can't let go. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the world had already decided for Shaun to go, and so Moore spent his time learning about the facility around him as he watched his only flesh and blood pass.

Taking up the role of the Director, Moore is uninterested in "destroying" the Institute; there is too much good being done here to slaughter so many innocent people. He essentially tells the boards, "we cannot keep torturing the people on the surface, and if you don't discontinue these unnecessary projects my son started, I will be more forceful," and with some... helpful suggestion from the Railroad and his now much-larger Minutemen army, he successfully turns the Institute into a place of proper medical study and aid for the surface. In return, he stages a false explosion on the surface; the people of the Commonwealth now truly believe the Institute is gone, and with the boogeyman dealt with, the Institute could operate in relative peace, with the silent safety-net of the Minutemen army (given they honored their side of the deal: no more synths, more research in cultivation and medical science).

(pictured: post-story Moore)

Nowadays, Moore serves as a kind of Governor for the top-half of the Commonwealth, controlling most of the Greater Boston Area and above. He is romanced with Hancock (obviously), and spends most his time dealing with legal Government work, as well as trying to keep peace between his land and the land that the Gunners and Rust Devils claim. Although he's not perfect, he's learned what he's here for, and has found more peace and love within himself that he did not have before the war. He's also cybernetically-enhanced; thanks to an "accident" regarding laser rifles, his left eye was amputated and replaced with a prosthetic (formerly synth) eye, and he also has similar life-extension technology that Kellogg used to use. He tries to live a quieter life with his synth son Shaun and his partner John with the rest of his friends, but God knows that Plot Shenanigans love striking.

That's all the major information on Moore!! If you actually read this entire post, thank you! I appreciate it. And thank you for the ask again! I was honestly procrastinating on posting him for a while despite how much I absolutely adore him ;_; .

do you have any tips for people who want to start writing/posting works, but don't know where to start?

I’ve been mulling it over since I got your ask, and I think I have come up with a few things:

- Start small, not just in length but in concept. Plotting out fics in such a way that all the threads get satisfactorily tied up at the end, and things don’t feel rushed or dragged out or forgotten about, is a skill. I find it much, much easier to pick one single core concept, and build a whole, detailed story around that, than to successfully keep several metaphorical plates in the air. For example, with my last fic: I wanted Theo to convince himself he had to leave BH after the series finale, and then for him and Liam to run into each other years later, and end up having that explosive resolution. I could have felt like I needed to write all the in-between, or even the after, but really I didn’t. To steal a piece of writing advice I heard from someone else, ask yourself if you’re writing the most interesting parts of your character’s life/story, and if the answer is no, try stopping and writing that. Conveniently enough, that also usually ends up being the more fun parts to write. And, eventually—you’ll get to the point where writing out the epics is much, much easier.

- OUTLINE. Seriously, outline everything. If you have an idea, even if you don’t have any idea where it goes or anything other than the first sentence or summary? Write it down. Write it down immediately. You will forget things if you try to save it for later. My phone is full of incomprehensible chunks of stories, but that is how I get to comprehensible stories. And outlining honestly makes things so much easier. If I have an outline, I very rarely get “stuck.” I know what happens next, and it’s so much easier to thread the different moments together, than to sit there staring at an intimidatingly blank page, and feel like I need to come up with everything.

- Don’t worry about titles and summaries and tags until the story is actually done, and don’t stress yourself out trying to come up with the perfect one. I come up with my titles on the fly. One of the most talented fic writers I’ve ever come across has one-word titles, usually just some kind of noun (does the fic take place in an arena? The fic is tilted “Arena.”).

And, honestly, most importantly?

- Write for yourself, and for the fans that you have, not the fans that you wish you have. It’s so tempting to judge how “successful” you were at a story by how many comments or reblogs or likes you get, but my experience has been that there are so many stories, and so many posts, and so many different tastes and styles and whatever, that being “popular” in fandom is a mythical and almost impossible thing to achieve. Some of my favorite stories I’ve written are the ones that received the least notice, comparatively. I have made so many friends and have come to have a group of readers who names and pseuds and comments I genuinely remember and appreciate, because they show up again and again and take the time to leave the comments, or the reblogs, or the likes. They engage, with me and with the work that I do genuinely spend hours or my time and energy on, and having a handful of those readers show up in one of my stories, even if it doesn’t hit the same “mark” as some of my others? That’s a damn good day, right there.

Okay just kidding, one more:

- Have fun. Writing is seriously so much work, and it’s hard, and a lot of the time, it may feel like you’re shouting into the void. So you’ve got to write the things that you enjoy, that you want to see in the world, and then you’ve got to go put it into the world. If you’re having fun, your readers will know it and respond to it. And if you’re having fun, well, then—you’re having fun, aren’t you? 😊

Hii

do you think if there is a dissonance for Liam and the fandom and if you do, can you elaborate on why is it so?

From one direction till now I see each one of the boys have successfully established individual fandoms and more so over overlapping ones. Some Louie blogs will reblog zayn stuff or Niall or vice versa. Apart from few people I haven't seen that much for Liam.

I think liam is the second one with the writing credits after louis on one direction. He also has got the voice and notes.

I can't help but think where it went wrong for him or is there hope for re-establishing things.

Louis has a trash image still managed To come across different with his fans. Zayn literary doesn't show his face yet it's a buzz for his releases. Niall isn't involved in much drama so clearly his promo and how things work with him is different. Harry has the commercial success along with the fandom hold.

Where did liam or the fandom fell out of the loop?

Liam is also the one who gets a lot interaction from louis.

I don't understand why doesn't it translate across the platforms and fandoms.

Sorry if this is long and an unexpected ask for you!

Liam’s team… Is that you? Are y’all coming to larries for …. Marketing advice? I can give you my consulting fee if you’d like. It’s a pretty reasonable $250/hr

#idk for free I’ll tell you yes and maybe let Liam be Liam?#people really like authenticity?#ALSO YES THIS RESPONSE IS MOSTLY A JOKE BUT LIKE COME ONE #THE TONE OF THIS MESSAGE IS SUPER ‘tell me the answer to this problem’

Josh Diaz

First impression: he gave hayden attitude at sinema and i didn't like him lol

Impression now: i love him, but drastically underutilize him (but i'm not alone in this, @ the writers)

Favorite moment: it depends on my mood. i really like the scene with him and theo where he's siphoning off the electricity from the car battery, but the cutest moment is definitely when he bargains with malia to save corey 🥺

Idea for a story: i have no idea, i don't even know how to do him justice in my own fics 🙃 i feel like there's a *ton* of potential for a fic with him dealing with addiction. that's somewhat where red flags goes, but not in enough depth to do him justice

Unpopular opinion: he could've been cute with corey 🙈 (but that's just me shipping anyone with any other person who goes out of their way to save them)

Favorite relationship: definitely theo. very toxic, very gay. also scott+theo to make them a little less toxic, but more gay lol

Favorite headcanon: he really struggles being sober after being turned and (contra theo's little jolt idea) scott reads up on addiction and helps him find more long-term ways of dealing with his new life. i feel like this could have potential, especially bringing in the other members of the pack dealing with their own fallout from their human conditions and traumas (like i feel like malia, liam, and lydia would all have different advice and poor josh would be so confused about who to listen to).

#thank you!!#i really want to do this man a little better than j*ff did but i fear my brain has been rotted by theodore a bit too much #🐺

I've been having brain rot pertaining to Ireland and the pacific siblings. Particularly not historical ones cause hggnnn I need to write something cute anyway; here's some hc on when they most often call her mom/mum

Canada - So, Matthieu calls Molly mom the least often, but when he does it's usually in the middle of nervous breakdowns when he just really needs a hug and someone to tell him it's okay. It's also not uncommon for him to say 'I want my mom' when she's not around and he's having a tough time.

USA - Alfred calls Molly mom the second most (just after Oz) and his are a little more common and off handed; but he probably does it most when she's trying to give him some advice or telling him to do something. Y'know the whining 'but mooommmmmm' usually with the response of 'Alfred Farley Jones don't use that tone with me'

Australia - Jack does it the most often! almost to the point of using Aunty Molly and mum interchangeably. He does it a lot though when he's tired, like when he's just woken up and offhanded 'good morning mum' or when he's fallen asleep on the couch and she wakes him up to tell him to go to bed.

New Zealand - Liam does it way less than Al and Jack but more than Mattie, his is also far less 'on accident'; he calls her mum when aunt doesn't seem like a close enough title. So let's say it his birthday and she gave him a very personal gift, or he's having a time and she offers some life altering advice he'll switch to mum to show her that he does really appreciate it.

#I'm not saying these are the only times #I'm saying its when it most often happens #I need a name for Ireland and her children that she stole from her brother #like a group name #aph australia #hws australia #aph ireland #hws ireland #aph new zealand #hws new zealand #aph canada #hws canada #aph america #hws america #hetalia #hetalia hc #anglo family

I don't know what this is but moodboard for a scene I'm planning/wrote abit of for a later part of the story because Theo/Corey bffism holds a special place in my heart.

I did write this snippet though-

Liam enters the house, having just dropped off Olivia at home promising to visit the following day to help pick out the colours for the babies nursery at her house.

It's late so he doesn't expect anyone else to be up at this time, moving to open the fridge looking to see if there's any leftovers he can eat finding a plate wrapped up with a post it note stuck on that has his name written on it. A quick "figured you weren't gonna be home so saved you some" written on it in Theos handwriting. God Theos so damn great, he get a warm fuzzy feeling in his chest and a smile on his face thinking about the boy.

He grabs the plate shutting the fridge behind him before almost immediately dropping the plate on the floor as he turns in shock, coming face to face with Corey who's giving him a very unimpressed glare, he looks at the clock on the wall, his gaze become more darker then looks back at Liam. "Where were you?" Masons boyfriend asks now glaring at him for what he doesn't know. "Liv wanted me to help her grab some stuff for the baby and then we watched a film." He says, confusion laced into his voice because he doesn't know why Corey seems annoyed at him right now. Corey moves towards him and shoves him against the counter, bashing his back into the edge.

Liam releases a pained groan at the impact and goes to shout at the other boy but Corey beats him to it. "Where. Was. You. Supposed. To. Be." Corey says through gritted teeth and now, now Liams just even more confused because he had nothing planned for today. Corey grabs him again turning him around and pushing him towards the wall with their calender on shouting. "LOOK AT THE CALENDER LIAM!" Liams eyes widen at the venemous tone of voice and way the other boy is being because this is Corey, sweet advice giving Corey and if Corey's pissed at him it must be bad.

He looks at the calender skimming over it before landing on the day it is. Eyes widening as he finally realises what he had missed.

There in his own messy handwriting

Theos follow up appointment

He remembers underlining it too so he didn't forget.

And thats exactly what he did.

God he feels like he is gonna be sick.

"You need to sort this shit out Liam. He already had a close call a few weeks back remember." Corey says finally releasing his grip on Liam and Liam does remember, he will be never be able to get that image out his head, getting visions of being back in the hospital that day waiting to find out if Theos heart had finally given out before they could finally get him a the transplant hes been waiting years for. Spending the week after sleeping with his hand on Theos heart to hear it still beating.

God no wonder Theos had been so off with him recently, only now realising how much he had pushed his green eyed boy to the side for preparing for the baby.

"He thinks you don't love him anymore, I know you do. I need you to show him you do." Corey says and really Liam can't even blame Theo for doubting him.

"I will, I love him so damn much Cor, god I should of been here. How could I forget something like this." Liam says, he's getting angry with himself now and just god he's imagining Theo sitting there alone in the waiting room, hoping Liam is about to walk through the doors being uncomfortable surrounded by those white walls. He knows how much his boyfriend hates those hospitals and being there alone after spending years in and out, in and out. "Has..... has he said what they told him." He says feeling his eyes beginning to water and has to hold back a sob, Corey must see this as his eyes lose some of the anger they held. "No, he said he needed to talk to you first. I just walked in on him sat on the couch crying." Corey replies clenching his fists at the reminder of what he walked in on.

"God I need to fix this. Is.... is he here." Liam says wrapping his arms around himself, his own fists clenching as he can't decide between sobbing or being angry at himself.

"Yes you do. And fast. He left, said he was staying at Tara's or his apartment, that he couldn't stay here right now." Corey adds bluntly before turnng and walking out the room leaving Liam alone to think.

#corey bryant #liam dunbar #theo raeken #theo and corey bffs moodboard #also theo breakdown moodboard #im not even close to this bit but still wrote for it 😭#i wanna drown in an ocean of you fic #thiam as jasher #olivia is masons twin sister (but masons not jordan)#also fic snippet
