the music or the misery

Hey! I'm Aaron, twenty-two and an aspiring artist. You'll probably want to get my autograph right now, because soon enough you'll have to stand in line.

[flint-beaumont-deactivated20140]

Good. I love you… And I’m also painfully aware of how mushy and gross I am being and don’t care.

[curlyaaron]

I love you, too, F. And you shouldn't care, because you know I'm exactly that, every day of the year.

[flint-beaumont-deactivated20140]

I take it I did okay?

[curlyaaron]

Very okay.

[curlyaaron]

Happy Valentine's Day! I had to do the stereotypical chocolates and teddy bear but I may have went a little overboard... It had a puppy thought and you're basically a puppy so uhm.. 

And flowers...

And then a little something for tonight. I thought we could have a bubble bath tonight.

I don't know what you wanted to do for dinner, but if you have nothing planned then I'd be more than happy to cook anything you want. 

[maxgalicia]

I would make an annual masturbation joke.

But it looks as if someone already beat me to the punch.

Man, what a jerk.

[curlyaaron]

[myles-ramsey]

Sleeping on the floor fucking sucks ass. Especially when that one bitch keeps waking me up.

[curlyaaron]

I'm trying to process what you just said, but I don't think I'm able to.

[v-elmahart]

I had a dream that the whole world caught on fire..

[v-elmahart]

Right..

Does glue even stick to snow?

[curlyaaron]

Uh... Is there.. waterproof glue?

[v-elmahart]

I had a dream that the whole world caught on fire..

[v-elmahart]

Right! And we can name him Snolaf, and he can be Olaf’s twin.

[curlyaaron]

Snolaf if a perfect name. Maybe we need to add some glue to his nose, though. Don't want that slippery carrot to get stuck in places.

Hurricane || Fliron

[captain--flint]

Flint stood, arms folded across his chest as he watched. He was unable to see his expression, but he really doubted Aaron was exactly thrilled. Standing there, waiting for his reaction was nerve wracking. Flint thought about running away again and locking himself in the coat closet until he left. Even if he was okay this was a thing that was staying. Flint knew he should stop, knew all the consequences but more than that he knew he didn’t want to stop. Stealing was the drugs in his veins. He knew it was wrong, he knew the remorse would come but for the moment the rush overwhelmed everything until it was all he needed to make everything go away. 

Aaron surprised him by pulling him into his arms. Flint wrapped his arms around him and buried his face into his shoulder. As much as he wanted to melt into him and believe those words he couldn’t bring himself to, not with his obsession staring at him from the closet. It was almost calling to him, asking to be added onto. “I hate her…” He breathed into his shoulder. 

[curlyaaron]

Aaron carefully wrapped his arms tighter around Flint, letting him know he was there and wasn't planning to leave. He would hold him as long as he needed to to make this clear. Flint wasn't a bad person, so he didn't believe for a second that he had gotten into this himself, whether it was out of boredom or rebellion towards his parents. He remembered the conversations they'd had about jail, how Flint knew so much about it and it made him wonder if his boyfriend did have a record and had been in jail before. He didn't want to think about it, not about everything that could have happened. Flint was strong and knew how to defend himself, but he was also sensitive and it made Aaron worry more about his sanity.

He pressed a soft kiss into Flint's neck and brushed his fingers over the boy's back. The words were unexpected and Aaron needed a moment to think about them and figure out what they meant. Was Flint talking about his mother telling Aaron about the stealing or was it something deeper? He didn't want to assume, but from what he knew about Flint's past, he hadn't exactly had it easy with both his mother and stepfather. "What did she do?" He eventually asked, his voice a whisper.

Hurricane || Fliron

[captain--flint]

Flint stayed like that for a long moment, back against the door, head on his knees, while panic crept into his chest. His eyes stared at the closet where he knew one side contained all of the oddities he’d collected in only the last few months, getting full to bursting despite the last giveaway he’d done. If that didn’t scare Aaron away then, well, Flint didn’t know. It usually did. He got up finally and crossed to the closet door, sliding the side open. He went back to his bedroom door and opened it. “Just… look in the closet and rethink your decision.”

[curlyaaron]

Aaron tried to stay patient, though he was on the edge of getting up and kicking in the door. He had to remind himself that Flint needed time sometimes and getting aggressive would only make things worse, but it was hard to just sit there and wait for his boyfriend to open the damn door and talk to him. It all felt surreal. Yesterday everything had been fine and now he was sitting next to a locked door, listening to the silence on the other side. When the door finally opened, he slowly got up and entered the room. He was a little uneasy as he made his way to the closet and took a look inside. There was all kinds of stuff inside, mostly stuff he felt like Flint didn't even need. It made him frown and gather himself back together before he dared to turn around and face the taller boy. He took a couple steps closer and eventually pulled Flint into his arms. "F, I don't know what this is, but if you think this is going to make me leave, you don't think very much of me."

[v-elmahart]

I had a dream that the whole world caught on fire..

[v-elmahart]

There’s always Google! Or maybe we could build a snowman and he’ll know her number.

[curlyaaron]

I say we build a snowman and even if he doesn't have her number, we'll have a freaking snowman.

Hurricane || Fliron

[captain--flint]

Flint curled up, hugging his legs. His chest ached. For how long? He didn’t say anything, just stared at the carpet in his room, eyes venturing to the closet where he knew his stolen stash was hiding. “Just go away.”

[curlyaaron]

Aaron shook his head, even though he was aware that Flint couldn't see him. His eyes were burning with unshed tears. He didn't want to leave. Not like this. He was positive that Flint wouldn't contact him in a long time and he couldn't have that happening. "Please," He let himself slide down to the floor, not particularly caring about his clothes anymore. "Open the door."

[curlyaaron]

Hurricane || Fliron

[captain--flint]

"This means you’re about to see how messed up I really am and start finding your way out." He said,  pushing through the door to his room. He quickly slammed it and turned the lock, putting the door between himself and Aaron. He slumped himself against the door and pressed his hands against his temples.

[curlyaaron]

Aaron was about to follow Flint, but the door got slammed in his face, followed by the sound of the lock being turned. He placed his hands against the door, his jaw clenched. "Flint," He called again. Aaron closed his eyes for a moment, while he tried to think of what he wanted to say. "Flint, please. I told you. I told you it doesn't matter. I love you for who you are. I just need you to be honest with me."

[curlyaaron]

Hurricane || Fliron

[captain--flint]

He turned away, walking away toward his room. “Talk about what?”He questioned. “Can I really fucking explain this? I know what this means.” With the exception of Felix this meant goodbye. Maybe not now, but once Aaron realized Flint wasn’t going stop, that Flint couldn’t stop… “Nothing I say will make a difference.”

[curlyaaron]

Aaron frowned again, taking another step closer to Flint. "What does it mean? What does it mean, F?" He ran a hand through his curls and kept following his boyfriend. "I just need you to talk to me. I want to understand!"
