Hmmm 29 for Jason and Marcus? 🤔

29. kisses when theyre mad this one made me go insane go crazy 1.5k words. my guys also going insane going crazy. hope this helps <3

Bloody and breathless, hair sticking out in all directions, t-shirt hanging together by a thread - just another Friday night for Jason, slumped over in an alleyway, using a bottle he stole from the bar as an ice pack for the gash on his forehead. He sighs and leans back, resting his head against the wall so he can look up at the stars, in an effort to distract him from the piss-scented trash around him, and the sharp pain in his… Everywhere. Anything pretty to take his mind off it all for a while.

Marcus barrels around the corner, equally as out of breath. He doesn’t notice Jason until the very last second, stopping so suddenly that he almost loses his balance. Jason glances over at him, a small, relieved smile on his face - there he is, the real distraction.

“Christ, there you are…” Marcus says between breaths, sounding like a disgruntled parent who lost their child in the grocery store.

“Could at least sound a little happier to see me, y’know.” Jason averts his gaze, opting to look up at the stars again. Of all the places he could have chosen to stargaze, this was by far the worst. Not even a little bit comfortable, welcoming, or romantic.

“I am-... I am, I just-...” He takes a second to catch his breath, using whatever’s left of his energy reserves to plop himself down next to Jason - landing a little closer than he’d wanted, but it was fine. It was fine. He kept forgetting that was something he could do now, and it wouldn’t be weird. “Thought they’d like, I don’t know - kidnapped you or something.”

“Hey, I swept the floor with those bastards. You really think they could’ve taken me?”

“I mean, a few more shots to the head, and they really could’ve done some damage.” He smiles as he looks over to Jason, still pressing the bottle against his head. “Ah, looks like they already have…”

“Aah, fuck off. It’s fine.” His words come out a bit sharper than he intended. Was he offended at the fact that Marcus thought a bunch of half-drunk freaks could have easily had him on his ass, or the fact that he was right?

Marcus reaches over, carefully removing the bottle from Jason’s head so he can get a closer look. A giant bruise, a whole bunch of small cuts and slashes sprinkled across his face, a particularly nasty gash on his neck. “Wow, they really did a number on you.” He didn’t mean for it to sound like he was mocking Jason, but the awkward laugh at the end didn’t help matters much. 

“Yeah, yeah, tell me somethin’ I don’t know.” He finally looks back at Marcus, whose expression is somewhat hard to read, but seems to be some mix of upset, disappointed, and angry. Was it aimed at him? At the situation in general? What was the problem? He decides he needs to get to the bottom of it. Now. “What’re you makin’ that face for?”

“What face?”

“That… Thing you’re doin’ right now, with the… Y’know.” Jason tries to replicate Marcus’ expression as he talks, but he can’t seem to get it quite right. “You look like a gnome.”

“The hell does that mean?” Should he be offended? Should he take that as a compliment? He shouldn’t look too deep into it, Jason already has a mild concussion, and is probably drunk, too. Whatever comes out of his mouth should be taken with a grain of salt. 

“Put a hat on you, stick you out in a yard and you’d be the cutest little gnome anyone’s ever seen.” He ruffles Marcus’ hair and pats him on the head. “My sweet little garden gnome… A GILF… Gnome I’d like to-.”

He’d finally pushed Marcus’ buttons just enough to make him start talking, snapping back at him with “If you say gnome ONE more time, I’m going to push you into oncoming traffic and make it look like an accident.” He had to make Jason shut up, or he’d laugh, and he’s not allowed to laugh at anything he says - until he stops being angry, that is.

Jason smiles - that devious little smile he does when he knows he’s being a little shit - and grabs Marcus’ hand, lightly kissing the back of it. He doesn’t say anything, but the kiss is very much welcomed, as he tightly grips Jason’s hand in his own. “Great, now that I know I’m gonna get run over soon, are you gonna tell me what’s wrong?”

Marcus sighs loudly and leans into Jason, resting his head on his shoulder, just narrowly avoiding the surprisingly sharp spikes on his choker. He probably sharpened them himself, didn’t he? And for what? No one can reach his neck anyway. “It’s… Well. It’s you.” His voice trails off, trying to think of a better way to phrase what he just said. But it’s too late now, Jason has decided to speak up.

“Ooh, breakin’ up with me, is that it?”

“Oh, no. God, no, you’re fine, it’s just… You keep getting into fights. All the time. I know it’s not always you starting them, but… What happens when you finally get into one you can’t finish? What happens then? ‘Cause, back there, I… I don’t know. It looked like they were going to finish you.” He speaks calmly and clearly, not a single crack or shake in his voice - he’d definitely practised this whole speech in his head a good number of times. 

Jason doesn’t say anything for a while, he just takes a deep breath, and places the bottle on the ground next to him. It was sort of helping with the headache - the intense drumming against his skull had subsided, at least. He wraps his arms around Marcus, pulling him in closer, as if he somehow wasn’t close enough already, and kisses the top of his head. They stay like that for a while, in silence. Marcus doesn’t try pushing for an answer, he knows he’ll get one eventually. 

“If they do end up finishin’ me off, they’re gonna have one angry fuckin’ ghost to deal with.”

“Jason. Please.” Marcus says sternly. He’s not asking for much. He just wants a real, honest answer. Then again, he is talking to Jason, a man who is so completely out of touch with his emotions, and can’t tell the difference between his own truths and lies half the time. Tell me the truth. Just this once, tell me the truth. Don’t deflect it this time. 

“Yeah, okay, sorry… I… I dunno… I guess I just forget that I’m still a person sometimes. It’s-. It’s weird, I get caught up in the moment and I feel invincible. And then, I guess there’s part of me that still remembers I am just a person, and I just… Don’t care anymore…” His voice shakes, breath heavy. None of this feels right coming out of his mouth, he shouldn’t be saying any of this, he can’t say anything. Ruthie’s voice echoes in the back of his mind, reminding him that any sort of emotion, any feelings at all, are a weakness. They’re pathetic. People like us, we don’t deal with that. We push it down and we move on.

His arms tighten around Marcus as a tear runs down his cheek, “And, back there, I had this moment where I thought, ‘what the fuck am I even fightin’ for anymore?’ Like, I’m already dead anyway, what’s the fuckin’ point of it all? So I let my guard down. And they got to me. And-. And that keeps happenin’, every single time. More and more. Like I want them to win, or whatever.”

“I guess we need to find something for you to fight for, then. A dog, maybe.” Marcus’s voice is muffled, his face pressed into Jason’s chest, his heartbeat getting louder with every second, with every word that he says. 

“No, no, I don’t… I, uh, kinda figured that out when I was pinned down on the floor. ‘Member, when the guy was about to glass me, and you bit him?”

“Yeah, I surprised myself there, too. I’d make a pretty good vampire, I think.”

“Honestly, you would. You had this… Look on your face. Don’t know what the hell you were thinkin’, but man, I saw you, and I was like. Huh. That’s it.”

“What’s it?”

“You. Obviously. It’s you. Always has been.”

Silence. Not an uncomfortable silence, it was more out of shock than anything else. Did he say that? Did he really just say that? He said that, and now I’m supposed to be normal about it? He SAID that? Hello? He really did just say that, didn’t he?He looks up at Jason and reaches over to tuck a loose strand of hair behind his ear, cupping his cheek in his hand. Jason nestles his head into his hand - if he were a cat, he would be purring so loud. Marcus smiles at him and whispers, “You need to do a better job.”

“Hah, yeah, guess I do.” He whispers back and pulls Marcus in close again, closing the small amount of space between them as he leans in and plants a kiss on his lips, just as soft and warm as the first time, always smiling.

I’m still mad at you, but this is fine, you’ve made up for it - almost.

[UNI’S LPS LORE DROP BITCH]

so ,,, i used to collect littlest pet shop (mostly the 1st and 2nd gen ones bc yall i am old) and theyre long gone now but. these are some of the lps i remember playing with and giving distinct personalities growing up. most of them didnt have names at all so im just referring to them with numbers and pictures. also warning it gets pretty Dark bc weird kid culture but here we go;;;

the first is #11 and #86. they were my absolute FAVORITES, a mother and daughter duo, a lot of their stories revolved around the kitten getting lost and the mom having to get to her, or the kitten dying and the mom having a mental breakdown. 11 mostly acted as a single mom but sometimes id cycle out different potential dads, usually the dog lps bc i did Not care abt the actual scientific lack of interspecial breeding possibilities

#25. a basic white picket fence ass dude, really common choice as the ‘dad’ in the above situation, he also was not immune to being ‘killed off’ for angst. was also cheated on a couple times by 11 (THOSE WERE AUS THO,,, DONT CANCEL HER ITS OK TO KEEP STANNING)

#200. she was #11s best friend, I think her name might have been hannah??? anyways if the mom and dad were killed off sometimes she’d “adopt” #86. but usually only after #86 fell into the custody of a terribly neglectful parent for a while and had to be rescued bc again, in my gay neurodivergent little brain peace was never an option

#487. another love interest for #11, usually competed with #25 in an almost edward vs jacob type battle of cool brooding boy and average mcfamily man. he was a big fav

#672. number #487s sister! usually either helped him get #11 like a wingman, or i’d flip the cards and make her manipulative and sabotage 11 bc she didnt think she was good enough for her brother. the personality switches id give characters were rly like. getting the bad ending in a video game,

#44. YET ANOTHER,, LOVE INTEREST FOR THAT ONE CAT,,,, but it was one sided and he always lost. poor friend zone ass simp im sorry man idk why you deserved that 😔 i think sometimes though id pair him with #200/hannah at the end. cant get the girl date her best friend idk i was 8 my morals were not always applicable to the adult situations i created

#14. SO I,,,, i ended up with three of these. and in the end i made them triplets that performed for the circus and were unhappy in their life of exploitation. i think sometimes they would. form a sui pact to escape their torment.

#137. HIS NAME WAS FUCKEN CHEESE

Groovy goat / unnumbered. I remember she was spanish to me but spoke mostly english, this decision was made bc i was an extremely white american child, and she was almost always involved somehow in a story bc she was my favorite design ever. anyways she usually was a model that would give a struggling lps a ‘makeover’ like that one scene in any dramatic disney live action film ever made

#464. another fav bc of her design omg. she was like a little sweetheart and would often play the role of ‘baby’ for any species i didnt already have designated ‘babies’ for. BUT, when i’d play with the other hamsters (we’ll get 2 them in a sec), i made them all the same age and theyd all crush on her at the same time lmao the DRAMA

#34, #35, #36. they were brothers and in order from left to right;;; biggest brother and a leader+positive role model, then the punkish middle brother that didnt like to listen and would often get them all in trouble, then the youngest nerdy brother that was naive and soft and did w/e he was told. they stuck together thru all their antics, except when #464 was involved, then theyd have a classic ‘fighting over a girl then realizing thats ridiculous’ arc. rly loved these guys cuz i always wanted a hamster so id pretend they were real animals sometimes too loL

#693. i got thsi in a mcdonalds happy meal but anyways she was a princess/queen/whatever and was very spoiled royalty. probably tried to behead some of the other lps idk. all she wanted was drama and money

#112. punk boy,,, usually paired with one of the ‘popular’ girls,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, oh my god did i government assign this dog duncan kin b4 td even existed yet

#48, #79 #42. !! HUGE FUCKEN BITCH ALERT !! (popular girls trio lol), i think a couple times i like, aged down #11 and got rid of the kitten for a ~highschool au~ where these girls bullied her but she ofc ended up stealing the middle ones man. and then other times i just paired the middle girl with #112 in a genuine ‘opposites attract’ ship . where were u guys when i was making duncney lps a thing tbh

#59. i love this guy but he was just an eccentric dork and mostly used for comedic effect

#43. love interest for #59 that he goofily fawned over till he eventually got the girl at the end of every story bc i loved cliches

#673. usually a mysterious adventurous girl from out of town that meets the mains in my story and befriends them/helps them out. also a close friend of the groovy goat character

“Paws off diary” Bull Terrier. ok this ones weird but he came in this lil electronic diary right (you can google how it looks to see what i mean) and there was this like, plastic bubble on top that he came in and you could stick him or any other lps in there and shut it securely cuz it was a diary so i. used it as like. a prison almost where id trap lps and the other characters had to ‘save’ them like they were rescuing a princess from a tower or smth. but it was usually just this lil guy. also he was given a name but i was kinda cheating skjdfsdf it was, “Max” bc that was always his name in the commercials for the diary--

#646 and #647, twin orphans separated at birth. did a lot of princess and the pauper esque ‘long lost siblings from different worlds’ reunion stories with these two

#94. so this one came with a head bandage and a little medical looking case to carry them in. i used the carry case as like an ‘ambulance’ or med helicopter to put ‘sick’ pets in and carry them to the hospital, and this pet had chronic illness so they were always the roommate patient at the lps hospital.

#10 and #142, the goldfish couldnt be taken out of the bowl if i remember correctly so. he felt sad and isolated but the seahorse was his best friend who was able to go anywhere so id stick him in the bowl with him a lot to hang out n make him feel better. solidarity

#463. i LOVED her design, so i used her a lot as just a friend to whoever i was playing with. she was also one of the bigger birds so shes the only one i remember really utilizing as a ‘this character can literally fly’ plot device. she also might have been magic i dont remember. ik whenever i did the circus story she was always in it

#37, #38 and #39. i lost the ‘girl’ one early on, like completely lost it and never found it again so idk what happened to it. so the story was the other two were brothers in a constant search for their long lost sister. sometimes id either have another lps be their sister or make a ‘found family’ trope out of somebody

#331. i had two of these and they come with little hats but i lost one of the hats so. evil twin story babey the regular one was a nice old pirate guy but the one with the hat was evil and nobody could ever tell the difference

#641, IM THE TRASH MAN! I START EATIN GARBAGE,

All Emoji Asks.
