Dish Over Dinner || Emmet & Addy || V7 W3 Wednesday Evening

[bxrningpassion-blog]

She grinned as she rolled her eyes at the man. She stepped out of the car and relinked her arms with his as they strode into the restaurant. Addy looked around, letting her eyes skim the small crowd that occupied the restaurant. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.

Ever the water enthusiast Addy ordered a water with lemon and looked at the menu. She was doing her best not to attack Emmet for information but a single leg jiggled under the table as an outlet for her antsy feeling. When he finally spoke Addy let the menu slap against the table and her eyes widened. “No way. Are you serious? I didn’t really think it would be him! Maybe this is his way of apologizing for not coming to see me like he promised…” She didn’t want to get her hopes up. She was getting over a relationship–could she call it that?–that only ended a little more than a month ago.

“Well,” Emmet said a bit hesitantly as he put down his menu, having decided on what he wanted, “he didn’t say explicitly that he had sent them, but he kept dodging the question and he was very...” He paused, trying to find the right word, before shrugging and continuing, “just very evasive, I suppose.”  

At that moment, the waitress came back with their drinks, leaving immediately again after setting them down, probably having noticed that AB hadn’t really looked through the menu yet.  He took a sip of his beer and set it back down as he asked, “Should I be worried that he’s already broken a promise to you?”

Dish Over Dinner || Emmet & Addy || V7 W3 Wednesday Evening

[bxrningpassion-blog]

“Asian,” she said decidedly as they got into the respective sides of the car. The ride into the city was uneventful as Addy whipped out her phone to provide a restaurant to go to as well as become the navigator, using Google Maps as their guide. 

“Up here on the right,” she said, pointing to a sign. “Let’s hope this place is good…Three and a half stars seems decent, right?” she asked as she looked over at him, “And don’t think you’re getting off easy tonight, Mister,” she said as she lowered her chin and tried to look intimidating. “You will dish over dinner. It feels like it’s been days and I wanna know what happened,” she added with almost a whine at the end which made the intimidation useless.

[dyerhistory]

Emmet rolled his eyes as he parked, giving the redhead an amused smile.  Getting out of the car, he said, “Don’t worry, AB, if I didn’t intend on “dishing” I certainly would not have made dinner plans with you in the first place.”  They both knew, of course, that Emmet would never have just left AB hanging, no matter what had transpired between Graham and himself.  Their relationship was built far stronger than that.

The two walked into the restaurant, arms once again linked, and were seated quickly.  The place wasn’t too crowded, but there were enough people that there was a constant hum of conversation.  They ordered their drinks, Emmet opting for a beer, and as they looked through their menus, he said, “So Graham is definitely the one who sent you those flowers.”

Heart Cooks Brain || Cole & Emmet || V7 W3 Tuesday Evening.

[cole-grimey-grimes]

Cole listened contently whilst Emmet spoke, leaning his elbows on the arm rest of the chair, and then his head on his hands. He always loved hearing about other people’s lives, it seemed that everyone had some story to tell, so he got to live an interesting life vicariously through them. 

Smiling softly, Cole shrugged slightly and leaned back in his seat. “Hey, no problem, man, it’s uh, kinda been a long day on this end too, so uh, I get you, y’ know?”

[dyerhistory]

Emmet glanced up at Cole, gauging his facial expression, before getting out a small bowl for the rest of his ingredients.  The other man did indeed look a little more worn, purpose, than yesterday morning, something he had vaguely noticed before hadn’t thought about it.  Now, he wondered what could be causing his...his friend distress.  Emmet didn’t like prying into people’s lives, since he himself never appreciated it, but he couldn’t help but feel worried for Cole.  They hardly knew each other, had conversed only once before this, but the thought of Cole being upset didn’t sit right with him.  

“Well, If you ever need to talk,” he said, giving Cole a kind smile before going back to his mixing, “I’ve been told that I’m a very good listener.”  Extending the offer to Cole made him relax a bit -- talking about himself, even about his happier memories, always made him varying amounts of uncomfortable, but giving his time to others is what he did best.

OOC: Character analysis, pt 2

ROUND 2 MOTHERFUCKERS, THIS TIME FOCUSED ON RELATIONSHIPS OF THE SEXUAL AND ROMANTIC SORT

As previously mentioned in asks, the only real thing that Emmet personally looks for in a guy is physical strength.  He wants a dude who can fuckin push him up against a wall and keep him there with very little effort.  

Is that a sexual preference that came about because of his psychological shit????  Absolutely, 100000%, most definitely.  Emmet tries so hard in his everyday life to keep a very tight rein on...everything.  He tries to be a very controlled man, although obviously he doesn’t succeed in that all the time. 

SO YEAH, in the bedroom, he very much desires to have absolutely 0 control.  Emmet lets the dude he’s having sex with basically be like a fuckin god (HAHAH LITERALLY) and for the most part Emmet lets him do whatever the fuck he wants, within certain boundaries lmao.  there is some shit Emmet just is not willing to do, thanks.

romantically, it’s a completely different story.  emmet prefers his boyfriends (or w/e) to be nice!  and not dickheads!  he’s absolutely a romantic at heart, like he believes in love at first sight and soul mates and love triumphing over all, and also he likes candle-lit dinners and...stuff.  

HOWEVER......and he would never really admit this, because he thinks it’s hella fuckin shallow of him, because it absolutely is, but Emmet absolutely looks for the physical aspect over the emotional aspect.  like sex for him is a very big thing.  Emmet loves sex (although he doesn’t usually do casual shit because he likes the emotional connection) so if he likes a dude for his awesome personality, but he doesn’t fit the physical type that Emmet prefers, he’ll just.....not pursue that guy.  because he really wants his desires to be fulfilled in the bedroom IF NOWHERE ELSE.  

so like, with cole for instance, emmet thinks he’s super cute.  like a puppy.  and he definitely likes how chill cole makes him feel.  but cole is not a big beefy dude. ):  and therefore the idea of pursuing cole romantically is not a serious thought for him.  also if knew that cole had just gone through a breakup he wouldn’t be thinking about it AT ALL.

and then you have Caleb who IS a big beefy dude but also he’s..............fuckin..............caleb.  he’s an asshole.  he doesn’t care about anything beyond getting what he wants.  if you got rid of all the alcohol in the world except for one bottle, and then you threw that bottle off a cliff, fucking Caleb would jump down after it because alcohol. 

(but weirdly enough, I guess you could say that emmet fell in love with him BECAUSE he was an asshole, rather than in spite of it.  cole makes emmet feel chill -- caleb made emmet feel free.  was it a super fucked up relationship at the end of the day?  yup.  did it make emmet happy?  unfortunately, yes.)

of course this all makes ME very upset because I just want Emmet to be happy with a good, nice guy who cares about him.  but noooooooooo god for-fucking-bid emmet actually make a HEALTHY choice in his life.  

[dyerhistory]

Met anyone you just couldn't stand?

Not yet.  There are, of course, some people who...take some getting used to, but I like to believe that I’m a patient man.  I raised twins, after all.  It takes a bit to get under my skin, as long as you aren’t an outright prick.  

[dyerhistory]

How are you enjoying the school so far?

Very much!  It’s very different from my old high school, so I’m still getting used to some things, but the students seem much more engaged and the staff members I’ve met are all very kind.  Even Graham is okay.

[dyerhistory]

That Graham guy seems awfully nice. Do you think he really likes AB?

I...honestly have no idea.  I’ve always known rich people to be very fickle.  Graham seems like an exception, but I’ve only met him once, so I can’t really say.  Whether he does or not, I’m going to keep an eye on him -- if he hurts her, I’m going to destroy him no tortured past of his is going to make me forgive him.

[dyerhistory]

What you look for in a guy??

Uh, I really like guys who look like they could push me down and do whatever they wanted.  Other than that, I don’t really look for anything, other than not being a jerk.  Caleb was the exception to that rule.

[dyerhistory]

Favourite past relationship?

Ahhh, there was...there was this guy, about six months ago, I think.  His name was Caleb.  He made me feel...

Well.  I’m not entirely over him yet, but I think I’m getting there.  Maybe.

[dyerhistory]

Cole's pretty cute, aint he ;)

He is, absolutely.  He looks like someone who would like to cuddle.  If he were more my type, I would probably have a bit of a crush on him.

[dyerhistory]

Aw, you're making friends, that's sweet :3

I’m inclined to agree with you.  Making friends has always been...difficult, I suppose, at least for me.  So it’s...it’s really nice to feel like I’m actually going in the right direction with it.

TMI Tuesday

Heart Cooks Brain || Cole & Emmet || V7 W3 Tuesday Evening.

[cole-grimey-grimes]

“Oh cool.” He smiled, his dad’s business had taken him to New Jersey a few times, so Cole had a few souvenirs from his trips there. “I’m a Brooklyn man myself.” He said with a nod, before turning more fully to the other man with a grin, pretty much ignoring the tv by this point. “Ireland? Really? That’s cool, how come you’re over here then?”  

[dyerhistory]

“Brooklyn, huh?” he asked with a grin, looking up at Cole.  “I don’t think I would have ever been able to tell!”  The statement was dripping with sarcasm, because even Emmet, who didn’t have much of an ear for accents, could hear clearly Cole’s Brooklyn upbringing.  

Looking back to his bowl as he added eggs and vanilla, he said, “But as for why I’m here, it’s because my, uh, my dad was from New Jersey.  He went to Ireland on vacation one year, met my mom, and just never left.  They meant to come back to the States after my big brother was born, but never got around to it.”  He paused with a little laugh and then continued, “They swore that they would get to New Jersey before I was born, but I was a bit early.  The doctors made them wait a month before flying, and I’m pretty sure that if my dad hadn’t already bought an apartment in Jersey, they would’ve just stayed once and for all.”

Emmet forgot, sometimes, that thinking about his family didn’t always have to be painful.  The story of his birth had always amused his parents, and though it was often difficult for Emmet to remember his father’s voice or his mother’s smile, remembering the warmth of their joy when they had been around each other and their children wasn’t too hard -- as long as there was someone to remind him.  

Continuing to mix his ingredients, Emmet didn’t look up as he said, “Thanks, by the way, for uh, for coming by.  It was a bit of a long day for me.”

Heart Cooks Brain || Cole & Emmet || V7 W3 Tuesday Evening.

[cole-grimey-grimes]

Cole followed Emmet back to his apartment, hands in his pockets and a pleasant smile on his face. This would probably be a good thing, hand out with a new friend, chill out, pretend like everything was fine for an hour or two, in fact, he more than likely wouldn’t be pretending. 

Once inside, Cole dropped down on the couch and grabbed for the remote, taking the whole ‘make yourself comfortable’ thing and just running with it. It didn’t take him long to put Adventure Time on the tv, no shame to be found in putting on a kid’s show. “Uh, chocolate chip, those are always good.” He grinned over at Emmet, leaning back on the seat.

“So Emmet!” Cole started, turning towards the TV. “Where’re you from? I dunno if you mentioned yesterday.”

[dyerhistory]

At Cole’s request of chocolate chip, Emmet set about retrieving all the ingredients he’d need.  It’d take about thirty minutes to prepare everything, and then fifteen for cooking, which gave Cole enough time to get his fill of -- Adventure Time, he saw as he glanced up from his prep to see the TV.  He smiled as he watched it for a moment, recalling that Nes and Donnie both loved this show, before realizing a few seconds later that Cole had asked him a question.

“Oh, uh, no, I didn’t say yesterday,” he assured as he beat the butter and sugars together.  “But I’m from New Jersey, just a few hours away from here, actually.”  With a small grin and a glance up at Cole, who was still watching the TV, he confided, “Technically, though, I was born in Ireland.”
