#CRUELAFFAIR  . . .  a selective independent blog featuring original characters, brought to life by mimi. sporadic / low activity.  (  26,  they/them,  pst  ) ✩

navigate : resources  ✩  wishlist  ✩  ask prompts.

001   /   you must be 21+ to follow and interact. please dni if any of the following apply to you : support d*nald tr*mp, are homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, zionist, racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic, use the krp tag, if most of your muses are white or heterosexual, and if you invalidate a person’s pronouns / gender / identity both ic + ooc. 002   /   this blog operates on very low, sporadic activity. i'm chronically ill and it impacts my reply speed both on tumblr + discord (available to mutuals), sometimes as much as weeks or a month+ later. i understand how that can come across but please don't take it as disinterest — if i follow you, i want to write with you. with that being said, i can be slower with plotting messages as a whole, and have a small preference for throwing muses together to go off chem / assuming a pre-est connection. i'm still open to it, but please keep that in mind. i'm a snail but an enthusiastic one. 003   /   while various mature themes will be present in writing, anything taboo or dead dove related is banned. i will not write against anyone who is below the age of or recently turned twenty-one, does not wish to be used, the deceased, known abusers / people involved in or accused of serious crimes, known zionists / those in support of the idf, and have other problematic ideals + beliefs. 004   /   how you choose to format doesn't matter to me and i will match where i can, i just ask that no big gifs are used and that posts are cut. i use single-spaced small text as default but have no problem adjusting for any visual needs.

when  cut  and  break  is  called  —  which  undoubtedly  will  extend  beyond  the  usual  five  minutes  after  a  camera  mishap  leaves  the  crew  on  a  technical  pause,  leo  finds  himself  slipping  away  from  air.  except  instead  of  silence,  he's  met  with  a  familiar  face.  it's  unsurprising,  great  minds  think  alike  and  they'd  been  best  friends  for  far  too  long  to  not  fall  into  the  same  habits.  “get  a  coffee  with  me?”  he  asks,  desperately  trying  to  pretend  they  hadn't  just  made  out  for  the  span  of  seven  takes.

[cruelaffair]

“  mm,  ”  came  the  initial  wordless  agreement,  withholding  the  unidentified  feeling  that  encapsulated  the  core  of  her  chest.  jian  can  still  feel  the  phantom  weight  of  leo's  hand  in her hair,  urging  her  closer  when  prompted,  and  while  dizzying,  it's a  stone  to  keep  unturned  because  they're  professionals.  best  friends.  that's  it.  it  doesn't  matter  that  she  knows  how  he  kisses  now,  that  what  brought  them  to  cross  that  line  in  their  many  years  of  friendship  was  for  the  sake  of  creation  —  in  front  of  a  working  crew  and  captured  in  multiple  angles,  no  less  —  rosy  hue  that  dusted  the  apples  of  her  cheeks  included.  none  of  it  matters.  surely a latte will set her straight. “  it's  been  a  long  day,  right?  ”

“i  thought  i  changed  it  back  to  my  mom,”  ethan  mumbles  under  his  breath,  coughing  awkwardly  before  glancing  their  way.  it  couldn't  have  been  a  worse  reunion,  banged  up  and  already  wearing  a  sling  —  as  if  the  last  time  he'd  seen  them  wasn't  painful  enough.  “i'm  okay,  really.  the  doctor  said  i  only  broke  two  ribs  anyway.”

[cruelaffair]

“  okay?  only?  did  you  listen  to  anything  else  the  doctor  said?  that  can  still  mean  weeks  of  recovery…  ”  voice  is  quiet  despite  the  slight  attitude  given,  the  knots  that  formed  in  her  stomach  upon  receiving  the  call  to  come  down  to  the  hospital  only  worsening  now  that  they're  in  the  same  room.  doesn't  know  how  to  deal  with  everything  she's  feeling  —  the  complicated  bit  of  relief  rushing  through  her  system  upon  seeing  ethan  (  mostly  )  in  one  piece,  or  the  way  she's  still  prepared  to  drop  everything  for  him  without  hesitation.  that  the  radio  silence  since  their  breakup  has  done  nothing  to  make  that  waver,  even  if  she's  been  thinking  otherwise  all  along.  it's  hard  to  look  at  him.  “  are  you  going  to  tell  me  what  happened?  ”

“this  is  the  third  time  you've  come  in  this  week,”  josie  teased  with  a  grin,  fixing  up  a  bouquet  of  peonies  for  a  delivery  later.  her  eyes  flicker  over,  gleaming  with  curiosity.  “i'm  not  sure  if  i  should  be  concerned  or  impressed.  will  i  ever  get  to  know  who  the  lucky  recipient  is?”

[cruelaffair]

“  you're  keeping  track?  ah,  this  is your  subtle  way  of  telling  me  to  chill  out  and  save  some  flowers  for  the  rest  of  your  customers, isn't it?  ”  teases  right  back,  laughing  at  the  concept.  doesn't  see  himself  ever  taking  his  business  elsewhere  for  more  than  one  reason.  leans  against  the  counter,  eyes  grazing  around  the  shop  before  landing  on  josie,  easy  smile  tugging  at  lips.  “  i  suppose  it's  hard  to  say  —  speaking  of,  i'd  like  to  order  another  bouquet  for  pickup.  ”  seamlessly  dodging  counterpart's  question,  though  nothing  about  who  he  gives  these  flowers  to  needs  to  be  a  secret.  “  that  looks  beautiful,  ”  compliments  with  a  small gesture  to  the  arrangement  she's  working  on,  “  would  something  similar  be  possible,  maybe  with roses, or... something?  what  do  you  think?  ”

“i  need  a  drink,”  she  huffs,  face  palming  into  the  bar  top  before  quickly  grimacing  at  the  sticky  sensation  and  pulling  away.  “oh  my  god,  when  the  hell  is  the  last  time  that's  been  cleaned?”  she's  more  miffed  about  the  set  gone  awry.  “what's  the  strongest  here?”

[cruelaffair]

bites  her  tongue  in  order  to  hold  in  a  laugh,  napkin  placed  on  the  sticky  spot  in  question.  “  i  would've  warned  you,  baby.  didn't  give  me  enough  time,  ”  she  sighs,  already  ordered  drink  soon  following  suit,  “  asked  for  another  ahead  of  time  after  i  saw…  well,  that.  ”  recollection  brings  a  small,  disappointed  pout  to  her  lips,  gently  resting  her  head  against  selma's  momentarily.  “  it's  what  i've  been  drinking  so  you  know  it  tastes  good,  at  least.  i'm  sorry  your  set  had  to  end  early,  but  you  were  amazing  up  there.  always  are.  ”  hopes  to  comfort,  but  knows  this  particular  offense  is  likely  to  take  more  than  just  that  to  cool  down  from.  tucking  selma's  hair  behind  her  ear,  she  tries,  “  are  you  still  playing  tomorrow  night?  ”

I just, I thought you'd be happy that I just wanted to be with you.

"Do you really hate me, or does it just hurt less than wanting me?" @cruelaffair

[cruelaffair]

“  it doesn't hurt less.  ”  feels a little desperate,  then.  it's never been this hard to say what they want to before…  doesn't really know why that is,  either,  but the words are difficult to find and even when they almost do,  they're just a heavy weight on zero's tongue.  impossible to spit out in mekha's presence. “  if i hated you,  i wouldn't be here having this conversation,  ” they sigh, hushed, “ always end up here, don't i? ”
