Tuesday, 10:43 am:

David: *during rounds this morning, he was told that he really could go home today already and immediately texted Alex, Hans and Matteo* *was glad that Matteo swallowed his bait and is already really looking forward to seeing his face tonight* *then already started to pack and has put his duffle bag on the table so that he doesn’t have to bend down so much* *is just struggling with the things on the top shelves when there’s a knock on the door* *quickly checks the time and realizes happily that it could really already be his mother* Yes?

Heike: *has found the way to the hospital quite well and then bought two coffee to go and pastries in the cafeteria downstairs so that they can get comfortable later* *then knocks on David’s door and opens it with her elbow when he asks her in* *smiles at him when he sees that he’s standing in the middle of the room* Hey… *then sees his duffle bag on the table and the open wardrobe and gapes* Are you already packing? Isn’t that a little early? *puts both coffees down on the table and closes the door* *then goes toward him - this time without hesitation - to hug him* *presses a kiss to his hair and looks at him with a smile and scrutinizingly at the same time* Are you okay?

David: *smiles when his mother comes into the room with coffee* Hey, good morning! *lets her put the coffee down and hugs her* *takes a deep breath, because it still feels so good and because he’s glad that by now it’s almost normal that they hug each other again* *then grins slightly at her scrutinizing look* I’m good… very good even! I can go home today already! *beams at her*

Heike: *looks surprised but also happy when she hears that he can go home today* Today already!? Wow… so the doctors are satisfied?! *puts her bags down, then eyes the packing chaos in the room and scrutinizes him again* Isn’t it too much for you with all the packing? Can I help you? Then we’re done faster and we can get comfortable… I brought coffee and pastries…

David: *nods at her question about the doctors* Pretty satisfied! *starts babbling, because he’s so happy and a little nervous* They said that nothing speaks against it. I’m just supposed to take it easy at the flatshare and not overexert myself and should listen to my body, but not just lie around in bed so that my muscles won’t wilt. I’m supposed to come back for a checkup in a week and just call them if something should be wrong. And in 3 weeks, I can see the endocrinologist, and then they check my testo results and readjust the dosages… *then hears her question and hesitates* *looks between the wardrobe and the duffle bag and finally smiles and nods* Okay… maybe you could get the things from up there? I can’t lift the arms very well… and I’ll already pack up the stuff in the bathroom…

Heike: *smiles broadly when he starts babbling and when he seems so nervous and happy at the same time* *is happy once again to see him like that - so happy and unburdened* Wow… but that sounds pretty good… *at first wanted to tell him that he should really take care of himself and that he shouldn’t overexert himself, but then has to think about the fact that he’d probably really do it if only for Matteo’s sake* *instead says* I’m really very happy for you, my darling! *then nods at his suggestion about packing and is happy that she’s allowed to help* *immediately goes toward the wardrobe when he disappears into the bathroom and continues where he left off* *tells him in the meantime* By the way, Matteo told me to say hi. I met him in the kitchen this morning… and he showed me your room… but I’ll better tell you in more detail in a minute… you said you wanted to hear what I thought of everything…

David: *tosses all the stuff into the toiletry bag and listens to his mother in the meantime* *smiles* Thanks… he already texted me earlier that he ran into you and that he showed you our room… *grins slightly* …and that you offered him first-name basis… *was really happy about that, because it showed him again that his mother accepts his relationship with Matteo, that she likes Matteo and that she believes that they will stay together and that they’ll see each other more often in the future* *goes back to the room once he packed up everything and puts the toiletry bag in the duffle bag* *sees that his mother is almost done with the stuff in the wardrobe as well*

Heike: *has to chuckle when she hears that Matteo has already told him about it, but then gets a little more serious when he mentions the first-name basis* I hope that was okay? I mean, you do the same with his mother… and I thought… that this way, it’s maybe more personal and familiar, right? *packs a few shirts into the bag and then goes to the wardrobe again to get the rest of the sweatpants when she sees that David is also coming back from the bathroom* Why don’t you already sit down on the bed - we can pack up the rest later, can’t we? Or I’ll do this later after the coffee… if you want to, then you can already get the pastries from my handbag… *is a little worried that he’ll overexert himself*

David: *hears that his mother is insecure about the first-name basis and smiles at her* Of course it was okay… I think it’s really cool… it shows that we… no idea… somehow all belong together? *blushes slightly at this admission and turns toward the nightstand in embarrassment to put the Heidesee photo, the photo of Matteo and himself and the case and the notebook into his bag* *then hears his mother’s suggestion and goes to her handbag* *humms in agreement and takes out the bag with the pastries* *really sits down on the bed and waits until she’s done with the wardrobe*

Heike: *also gets a little embarrassed at David’s words, but is pretty happy and nods* *says quietly and with a small lump in her throat* True… *then clears her throat and adds* Nice that you think it’s cool… *then closes the wardrobe and takes a look around the room* *thinks that really most things are already packed up and pulls a chair to David’s bed* *gets the two coffee mugs and puts them down on the nightstand before sitting down and smiling at David* Right - now we earned ourselves a second breakfast, right? And in the meantime, I’ll tell you about my first visit to your flatshare? What do you want to know?

David: *tears the bag with the pastries open when his mother sits down and hands her one of them* *then also takes a brief look around the room and realizes that they are really almost done with packing and that there are only small things lying around* *grins and nods at her words and then exhales when he hears her question* Phew… everything… *laughs quietly but immediately stops because ouch* *takes a bite off his pastry and then says with his mouth full* Did you meet Linn and Hans?

Heike: *laughs quietly when he says that he wants to hear everything and takes a sip from her coffee* *then nods at his question and thinks that this is a good start* I did… first Linn and later Hans! And even Hans’ bathrobe… *doesn’t know why that’s so important, but because David has mentioned it yesterday she just mentions it, as well* *then continues* Linn was sitting in the living room talking to her turtle when we got there. Then she got awfully embarrassed and nervous and shy and I thought that she would have preferred to immediately retreat to her room… then Laura introduced us to each other and kept the conversation somewhat going and eventually Linn thawed a little… that was nice. A really nice girl. She gets on really well with Laura, doesn’t she? A little strange, right? But in a loving way… at some point she just got up, grabbed her turtle and said that she had to go back to her room now, because if he gets too used to the living room then he might prefer living there… *has to chuckle a little*

David: *grins when his mother really mentions Hans’ bathrobe and then listens to her when she tells him about Linn* *nods at her words about the turtle and adds* Nepomuk! *also nods at her words about Laura and Linn* Yes, the two of them get on quite well. During pride Linn spent the night at Laura and my apartment, because Hans has taken over the flatshare with all his friends from out of town… and Linn doesn’t like strangers too much… anyways, that’s when the two of them became friendly and since then they see each other more regularly… since we moved to the flatshare they see each other a lot anyways… *then laughs again quietly (ouch) when he hears about Linn’s exit* Yes, that sounds like Linn… and yes, she’s a little strange but in a very loving way. At first I was a little overwhelmed by it. I didn’t know her, but apparently she knew me from hearsay or something… and somehow she liked me even before she even met me and hugged me just like that the first time we met… *grins slightly when he remembers it and how overwhelmed he was with it back then* But over time you’re surprised about it less and less and you get used to it…

Heike: *laughs quietly* Nepomuk, right! *smiles when he confirms that Laura and Linn get on well and also smiles when he says that her tales sound like Linn* *then has to chuckle when he tells her about their first time meeting and nods* I can imagine. I also would be overwhelmed if some almost complete stranger hugs me the first time we meet… *then continues talking* Well, anyways, Linn disappeared to her room and only came out briefly again later to get something to drink from the kitchen. Laura and I ate in the kitchen and at some point Hans came… *laughs quietly* He has to be the complete opposite of Linn, right? He babbled an awful lot after he introduced himself and he actually raved about you two most of the time… well, also about Laura, but mostly about you. But also about Matteo. How glad he is that you guys moved in and how good you are for Matteo and that he was pretty jealous of your relationship at first, but also so happy for you guys that he’s already afraid of the day when you move out again…  that it was awfully quiet when you were on your road trip and stuff like that… *quickly takes a bite off her pastry and then continues, after swallowing* Anyways, then he went to take a shower and a little while later he returned to the kitchen in a bathrobe and started to cook something for himself… But what is the deal with the bathrobe anyways?

David: *drinks his coffee while his mother talks and smiles* *realizes that he really would have loved to be there, but also finds it pretty nice that this way, she’s letting him be part of it to some extent* *grins at her realization about Hans and confirms* The absolute opposite! But the two are still super close despite it! *grins even more when she continues, but also gets a little embarrassed when she tells him how Hans has gushed about them* *explains in the end* I think for Hans, the flatshare is something like his family… I mean, for us it somehow is, as well… but for him even more so… and he prefers to have all of us there and to take care of us… he’ll also cook tonight, for all of us… as a welcome dinner for me… *then grins broadly when she mentions and asks about the bathrobe* No idea… he loves this bathrobe and I think so far, I’ve seen him in the bathrobe more often than in normal clothes… it’s just part of him… and as you saw, he doesn’t care who’s there at that moment, either…

Heike: *smiles when David says that for Hans, the flatshare is something like family and is happy again that her son has found such great friends and such a place where he can feel at home if they couldn’t offer him such a place in Lychen* *then hears that Hans is going to cook tonight and asks* Does he already know that you get released early? *then laughs at his words about the bathrobe* Well, to each their own, right? I was a little surprised that he showed himself in front of me like that… but I was also an intruder into his home in some way, so… *takes a sip of coffee and then puts the mug down on David’s nightstand* *smiles at him* Anyways, I’m happy that you have such nice roommates… and that they have taken you… or both of you… into their hearts like that. It’s actually really a shame that you guys will have to move out again… but two people in one room might get a little too tight, after all, in the long run…

David: *nods at his mother’s question* Yes, I told Hans and Alex. I want to surprise the rest… *grins broadly* It was a little difficult with Matteo, because he actually wants to come to the hospital right after work. I texted him and begged him to urgently get the latest medical report from the flatshare and Hans was really cool and played along when he asked him to bring the letter to his workplace and told him that he doesn’t have time tonight… I’m really curious to see Matteo’s look tonight when he comes to the flatshare. *then nods at the topic of the bathrobe, but grins slightly and shakes his head at her words about being an intruder* There are so many people coming and going to the flatshare… if it’s about that, then he could hardly ever wear the bathrobe… *smiles when she says that she’s happy for him* *then sighs quietly* Yes, it somehow is… *hesitates and then says* No, it’s actually not too tight… I mean, we’re together all the time, anyways… Matteo and I…

Heike: *hears about David’s plan of surprising Matteo and grins at his strategy to get Matteo to the flatshare after work* He’ll surely be really happy that you’re with him again. *has to remember how stressful and straining it has to be for Matteo to go to the hospital after work - even though so far it was only on Monday* *looks a little regretful when David says that he also thinks that it’s a shame that they’ll have to move out again and then hears that he doesn’t think it’s too tight sharing one room with Matteo* *tilts her head a little and asks hesitantly* Then why don’t you stay living with him?

David: *beams and nods when his mother says that Matteo will be happy* *then hears her question and slightly presses his lips together* *doesn’t really have an answer to that, himself, rather several feelings, and hesitates before eventually saying* Well… we agreed that it’s only temporary… and Laura definitely has to move out when Mia comes back… and we agreed that we’ll look for an apartment together and that we’ll move in together again… I can’t just leave her hanging now… *slightly shakes his head, but then adds, after all* And when we visited Bea, she asked if Matteo and I are planning on moving in together and Matteo said that it’s quite good the way it is… that he feels at home at the flatshare and I with Laura and… *shrugs his shoulders* …maybe it’s too soon yet… and there won't be any real changes, anyways…  we’ll still spend most of our time together, after all… *sighs quietly and then says in a firm tone of voice* And besides, the apartment’s actually made for only four people, anyways! And I think on the long run, being a couple at a flatshare… privacy and all that… *grins slightly*

Heike: *sees him hesitate but then talk about it, after all* *listens to him and nods while he talks* *understands all of that, but still feels like he’d actually prefer to officially continue living with Matteo, and even if she herself thinks that it might really be a little soon, she still planned on supporting David with all his future plans* *therefore smiles slightly when he lists why moving in together is apparently not possible and asks when he finishes* But if he asked you to move in together you’d say yes in a heartbeat, wouldn’t you?

David: *hears his mother’s question, laughs quietly and a little embarrassed and shrugs his shoulders* Yes… I would… *then sighs* But we just haven’t really talked about it yet… well, we did, but always in the sense of “one day”... *shrugs again* And for now, that’s also enough for me, to be honest… well the prospect of this “one day”... *smiles slightly and shrugs one shoulder*

Heike: *smiles when David immediately admits openly that he’d say yes in a heartbeat but then nods in understanding* *after David’s story can somehow understand that he yearns for something lasting, for stability and security, and tries to push the thought that she hasn’t been able to give him that in the last few years aside* *doesn’t know Matteo well enough to tell if he feels similar, but after what Susanne has told her yesterday, she wouldn’t be surprised if he had similar yearnings than David has* *but still says* Well, after four months… that would maybe really be a little soon… “one day” is really a good prospect… *grins slightly* And besides, you can’t leave Laura hanging, of course… *reaches for her coffee again and takes another sip*

David: *reaches for his coffee when his mother seems to be lost in thoughts and takes a sip* *grins slightly at her words and says* Well Bea said that you shouldn’t let that stop you… how long you’ve been together, I mean… but “one day” is also good… *then nods when she mentions Laura* Exactly… *briefly has to think about the fact that it’s currently so difficult between them, but quickly pushes the thought aside again, because that’s not something he’d talk to his mother about* *instead asks* So do you like the apartment? *takes another bite off his pastry and looks at her questioningly*

Heike: *laughs quietly* Yes, that’s typical Bea… no idea… maybe she’s even right… *slightly shrugs one shoulder* *then also takes another sip of coffee when she hears his question* *somehow likes it that he cares about her opinion and nods immediately* Yes, definitely! It’s really a nice apartment. Very cozy! *grins slightly* I imagined flatshares to be pretty chaotic and… well, wilder and dirtier… but it’s really nice at yours! *thinks that he surely wants to know how she likes his and Matteo’s room and therefore adds quickly* And your room is also very nice. Very big… *then has to remember how strange it was to stand in his room, but barely recognizing anything of him there and smiles a little agonized*

David: *smiles when his mother says that she likes the apartment, but then has to laugh quietly* I’m sure those flatshares exist… but I think that’s more of an exception… and in our flatshare there’s a cleaning roster… *then smiles again when she says that she likes their room, but can also see that something seems to hold her back and frowns slightly* But?

Heike: *nods at his words about the cleaning roster and grins slightly again* Yes, something like that is surely useful! *sighs quietly when he asks about the “but” when it comes to their room, shakes her head a little and hesitates* *finally smiles slightly and admits quietly* It was a little strange… there was so little of you that I know. Your desk, yes… but Matteo said that the bed is also yours and all the pictures on the walls… *slightly lowers her gaze* I was there for so little of it over the last few months… you progressed so much at sketching… and the photos on your walls… Matteo and you… and your friends… *swallows slightly and looks at him again* I’m really happy for you, David! That you arrived so well in Berlin, that you have friends and a home and that you’re doing good. *sighs quietly and says* But it’s still strange to no longer be there for any of it…

David: *has already finished his pastry and realizes that sitting upright without something to lean on is slowly getting exhausting* *therefore pulls his legs up onto the bed and grimaces slightly, because it tugs pretty badly in his belly, but then relaxes again once he can lean back* *sees his mother’s worried look and smiles slightly* Everything’s good, that’s normal… *then listens to her words about the room and slightly presses his lips together* *doesn’t really know what to say to that and lowers his gaze for a moment* *eventually says* A friend of Laura’s got me the bed… *slightly shakes his head and then murmurs* Sorry, I don’t know what to say to that… I… sure, I can imagine that it’s strange, but I… *slightly shakes his head again and stops* *thinks that for quite some time, he didn’t even want his mother being aware of anything in his life and that no one can give them back this time, but that somehow, they’re now on the road to finding back to each other again* *smiles slightly because she emphasized once again that she’s happy that he’s arrived here so well and that he’s doing good* *then sighs quietly and looks at her* *asks hesitantly* Isn’t it enough that maybe you’ll be there for a little more of that again in the future?

Heike: *has watched David worriedly lie down on the bed and now hesitates even more to tell him about her thoughts about his room* *but does it, after all, when he asks and nods slightly at his information about the bed* *is still very grateful to Laura for taking care of David* *immediately shakes her head when David apologizes* No, David, no! You don’t have to apologize. It’s my own fault! I should have had your back a lot sooner. I should have been there for you… I shouldn’t have allowed it to let it come so far that you no longer trust me… please don’t worry about it, you hear?! And I don’t even want to burden you with it, anyways… it was just… strange… but also nice… nice to see that you’re leading a life here that makes you happy… happier than your life in Lychen. *suddenly feels a small lump in her throat and swallows, because she realizes again what she hadn’t been able to offer her son and what she won’t be able to offer* *can feel the lump getting bigger when she hears his question, but smiles even though she can feel her eyes getting wet, and nods* *says with a slightly husky voice* Yes… yes, that’s enough. That’s more than I dared to hope for only a few months ago… *has to think about the meeting with Susanne yesterday - about how jealous she was that Susanne sees the boys regularly and that she’s part of their lives, about how much she wished yesterday that she could also have that* *takes a deep breath, slightly clears her throat and then says determined, but still a little nervous* I would like to come more often! Well, actually I just want to see you more often. But I know that it’s no option for you to come to Lychen more often. But if you’ll let me, then I’d like to come to Berlin more often. I would really love to be a part of your life. I want to see your paintings regularly and maybe also meet your friends one day. I want to spend time with you and I want to get to know the person that you’ve become… You have developed so much, you fought so hard over the last few years… And I know that all of that hasn’t been easy for you… and a lot of things might still not be easy… but I… just want to be there… if I’m allowed to… *watches David nervously and hopes that she didn’t overwhelm him with her revelation* *therefore asks quietly and carefully at the end* Would it be okay for you if I came more often?

David: *slightly presses his lips together when his mother says that he doesn’t have to apologize* *can hear the guilty feeling from her words and doesn’t really know how to deal with it, because even if she says that she doesn’t want to burden him with it, he can still tell that they’re there* *hopes so much that one day, they’ll be able to put it to rest, that they can really look ahead and that they’ll find a way so that everything works out* *then realizes that she somehow seems to be emotional because of his question and smiles slightly when she says that the prospect of the future is enough for her* *then looks at her surprised when she says so determinedly that she would like to come more often and also feels a small lump in his throat because he’s so happy that she really wants to be active, that she wants to take on the way of coming to Berlin* *can feel the lump in his throat getting bigger at her next words and swallows against it* *has to think about her speech in Lychen, which he was also happy about and which she immediately destroyed with her acts, but somehow feels that she seems to have gotten stronger now, that she really wants all of that and can barely believe it somehow* *briefly closes his eyes when she finishes and realizes that he can’t say anything right now because the lump is so big* *then hears her question and looks at her again* *can only nod*

Heike: *sees David nod and is really relieved at first* *thinks that he doesn’t have to say anything - that this nod and his agreement are enough - and reaches for his hand* *somehow feels strong right now and realizes that the next words are just pouring out of her* You’re right, we should look ahead and I’m really happy that you gave me another chance… and I know that there’s no apology for my behavior during the last few years, but… I never told you… I never told you that I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, sweetheart! You know how much I wish I could turn back time, but unfortunately I can’t do that. But I want you to know how sorry I am that I wasn’t there for you… *slightly squeezes his hand and can now see that his eyes are getting a little damp and that he swallows* *still isn’t done and continues immediately* I’m so incredibly proud of you. That you went this way even though no one had your back at first. How strong you are and how much you fought for all of this here - for this surgery and for being able to be yourself. And now look at you, and all the things that you managed… *sees that David really has tears in his eyes now and that he’s kneading the blanket and that he’s out of his depths* *acts completely impulsively when she gets up, joins him on the edge of the bed and carefully pulls him into his arms*

David: *briefly looks at his hand when his mother reaches for it and waits for the impulse to want to pull it away, which doesn’t come this time* *smiles slightly and nods when she agrees with him to look ahead, but then freezes and feels his heart start to race when she apologizes to him* *hasn’t really expected an apology and absolutely didn’t expect to ever get one* *suddenly feels transported back to the time where he really would have needed her, when he had to learn to deal with all that chaos in his life by himself, and can feel that this apology really does some good to his former self* *can also feel the lump in his throat getting bigger and bigger and tries to take an inconspicuous deep breath so that there won’t be even more tears shooting into his eyes* *lowers his gaze again so that his mother won’t see how out of his depths he is* *hears her further words as if through static and feels due to her, he only realizes himself how exhausting this path actually was, how much strength it cost him and how incredibly good it feels to hear that his mother sees all of that, that she sees /him/* *doesn’t really notice that tears are shooting into his eyes, after all, but can feel his mother letting go of his hand, joining him on the bed and pulling him into her arms* *immediately melts against her and is shocked at himself when he hears himself emit a quiet sob* *now also hugs her and tries to somehow stop his tears* *can feel her hand in his hair and feels her kiss his head and hold him tight and feels her letting him cry* *can feel how good this is and for the first time in years, feels like he can be weak in front of his mother and that she won’t play it down, ignore it or judge it*

Heike: *is relieved that David doesn’t push her away and that instead he leans into her when she embraces him* *hears him sob and feels a few tears of herself running down her cheeks* *briefly squeezes him closer, but immediately loosens her grip when she realizes that he’s just had surgery and could be in pain* *runs a hand through his hair and kisses his head and can feel so much that she wants to be there for him, that she’ll do anything that she won’t disappoint him again* *lets him cry and slowly pulls away from him, even when he loosens his grip around her a little* *takes his face into her hands, looks at him and tenderly wipes the tears off his cheeks* *says quietly and with a slightly husky voice* I’m here now, okay? I won’t leave you alone again… *smiles slightly and slowly shakes his head* *searches for words and finally says* I’m sorry… I didn’t want to overwhelm you… but it’s important to me that you know it. That I’m sorry… and how proud I am of you… and that I really want to be there…

David: *has calmed down eventually and slowly pulls away from his mother* *is a little embarrassed and was about to wipe the tears from his cheeks when his mother puts her hands on them* *nods at her words and also smiles slightly* *slightly shakes his head when she apologizes and clears his throat* *then says quietly* Thanks! *takes a deep breath and wipes over his eyes again* *then laughs quietly and a little embarrassed* Even though it somehow overwhelms me right now… but it was good to hear it… *leans back on the bed again*

Heike: *smiles when David thanks her, but shakes her head a little* *doesn’t think that this is something he has to thank her for* *then smiles even more when he says that it was good to hear it and shrugs one shoulder* Well, it was about time that I say it… *sees him lean back, runs a hand through his hair again and then slowly gets up from the bed to sit back down on her chair* *then also takes a deep breath and is somehow pretty glad and relieved that she could get all of that off her chest* *reaches for her coffee, but doesn’t drink yet and instead says* I think that will be nice - well, if I come more often. We’ll make ourselves a nice time. Sometimes only the two of us, sometimes with Laura, sometimes with Matteo… however it fits… *grins slightly* And now that I’m more familiar and know that you can find a parking space at your place, then I can also come by car the next time - that’ll make it a little less complicated… *takes sip of coffee*

David: *watches his mother sit back down on the chair and realizes that he’s still smiling* *somehow feels a little lighter right now, albeit still a little embarrassed* *also stretches a little painfully to reach his coffee* *takes a sip, listens to her, grins slightly and nods* I’m pretty sure it’ll be nice… *still has all his mother’s words in his ear, slightly shakes his head because he realizes that all of that really makes him pretty emotional, and takes another deep breath* *looks at her and laughs quietly* Okay… and now we really have to talk about something innocuous… I don’t want to look puffy from crying when Alex comes by soon… *hears his mother laugh quietly, as well, and can see her think briefly and then really start an innocuous topic* *is pretty grateful to her for it and he talks to her for a little while longer until eventually Alex arrives in his room* *introduces them to each other and is happy that they get along* *then they spend a short time the three of them together, until his mother helps him with packing the rest of his things and says her goodbyes to him with the promise of coming to visit him again soon*

(next play)

okay so i'm not trying to make this a ~thing~ or a hot take or whatever, but can we talk about how all the hyped up queer shows still predominantly feature mlm couples? i'm not saying there aren't wlw shows/movies or the mlm-focused shows don't also feature wlw characters/couples, just... they either get nowhere near the same amount of hype, have some other main plot, end with at least one of them dying or experiencing something traumatic, get cancelled after one season in the middle of their arc, or they're not the main couple. And that's not to discount the representation you can get from secondary characters of course but just... ugh I want a heartstopper or rwrb or young royals or skam or love, simon or i don't even know... with girls. And I know I'm not the first person to bring this up and I know it's not that simple, but seeing all the hype for heartstopper and rwrb this week makes my heart ache a little bit so i needed to say this somewhere.

I've learned

that people

Druck S3 - Five Years on

Chapter 4 titled ‘the etymology of oblivion’ is now up from my new @skambigbang 2023 fic! I hope you like it! @mazarin01 photography continues to visualize the story in beautiful detail. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t call out my beta @claire.loved.books who has been there every step of the way, helping nurture this story into being. Here’s a teaser for you:

“What do you want?” he growls before pulling back to look Isak square in the eye.

The question stumps Isak. “I… I don’t know,” he answers honestly as he worries his lip raw under the heat of that stare. It is suddenly all very real, very here, very now.

“Have you been with a guy before?” Yeah. Of course. One guy.

“Yeah. Of course. Lots of times.”

“Okay, Mr. Lots-of-times…” he smirks.

The stranger feels good, the parts of him pressed up against Isak feel good. Those very same parts that are now rhythmically grinding into him feel very good. Isak’s eyes close, even though he couldn’t see much in the shadowy interior of the small space. With his eyes shut, it is easier to pretend it is someone else kissing him, grinding up against him. Lighting up his body in a way that won’t betray his true feelings to this stranger. He moans softly, his mind taking over, imagining someone else pressing him against the wall. Those thoughts help to push away the twinge of uncertainty that had started to take root in the pit of his stomach, right alongside some slow burning nausea.
