hello , my moots ! this has not been a great week for me so far as writing is concerned , but hopefully i can get some more drafts done over the next few days . hope you are all doing amazing mwuah
he should consider himself lucky he's in a hospital bed, because it was taking a lot of resolve from dara to not shake him at his stubbornness. she has half a mind to call his mother anyway, if just to make a passing comment about the lack of concern for her son. it seems as if ignoring deteriorating health conditions runs in his family, and she can only look at him, utterly unamused as he retells a skewed story of what happened. it's so ridiculous to hear that she lets silence simmer for a moment, eyes firmly on him and not a word uttered for an entire two minutes. "i would say it's nice to see you haven't changed — but that would be a lie. one of us should at least be grounded in reality here." dry words accompany an even drier expression, promptly taking matters into her own hands in the form of pushing him by the chest back into his pillow. "you should feel fortunate to never have pursued a career in law — no jury in their right mind would believe a word you say." agitation seeps through her, a familiar feeling she'd thought she'd long forgotten. it was the same concerns that led to their downfall, tired of his job coming first above all — that for once, he couldn't ever put himself first. it's highly inappropriate to insert herself in his care, yet she manages it anyway. "you will be doing no such thing. you're going to sit in this bed and do nothing. i did not give up my studio time and drive two hours for you to pretend everything is fine," she says, glowering as everything boils over. in a fit, she slaps his shoulder, anger overtaken by worry as she's forced to realize why exactly she's upset in the first place. “do you have any idea how worried i was?”
short thud echoes once thorax is pushed back into elevated hospital bed , embellished gasp breathed out in annoyance toward situation at hand , wholeheartedly regretting ever noting her down as an emergency contact . he has grown accustomed to the lack of care throughout strait laced upbringing and former partner's display of solicitude had always brought on some discomfort , whether it be during their relationship or at present . does not know how to sit with it or find solace in her care and so , even now , countenance bares the image of irritation rather than gratitude . ‘ i didn't ask you to give up your studio time and drive down here , seeing as i was unconscious at the time . but sure , feel free to blame me for that too . ’ eyes begin to roll , though he does not manage to follow through with it , interrupted by sudden slap on his shoulder . head turns and optics focus on striken joint , before shooting her a scathing glare that barely softens with the inquiry she follows up with . ‘ is this how you show how worried you are , by injuring the few healthy parts i have left ? ’ there is exaggeration both in his tone and in the minimal harm brought on by her anger , an attempt at extending an olive branch disguised as comic relief that he hopes she can discern . frail limb raises to nudge the side of her waist in retaliation , would have gone for the shoulder to honor the principle of an eye for an eye , but he does not wish to repeat lifting body off mattress , only to be pushed back down . ‘ you don't have anything to worry about . if you don't want to take my word for it , then you can just check if they have my results yet and even talk to the doctor yourself . ’ views it as a mutually beneficial middle ground that can ease her concern and ensure he is discharged at a timely manner , hence why he throws in the flash of a tight lipped smile to sneak his way back in her good graces .
❝ are they just a distraction, or are you really done this time? ❞

‘ believe it or not , what i have with them is real . have you considered that maybe you're the distraction ? ’
closed starter for my angel @gardenwalls
he's been tapping his fingers against the countertop for the last thirty minutes, an untouched mug of coffee now cold in front of him as the tv plays on about some unimportant news in the background. all jai can focus on is the start of the morning, the half naked stranger he'd run into on his way to take a shower, the journey they'd been making between the bathroom and lila's bedroom. one he's done more than a handful of times before. the sound of the front door finally closing does little to ease the tension in his chest, gaze pulling up as familiar footsteps come to a stop at the entrance to the kitchen. be nice, he does his best to remind himself. still, all he can do his stare at his roommate, a brow raising in her direction as the weight of tension settles between them. “ why was there a shirtless man in my hallway? ” it's not quite how he means to break the silence, though the question falls from his lips before jai can consider how little he wants the answer.
‘ our hallway , you mean . ’ however palpable the tension between roommates may be , she cares more to argue over semantics , rather than tackle the actual issue at hand . feet drew her nearer cohabitant in kitchen area , arms delicately folding one over the other and figure slumping down onto swivel chair for comfort , though the feeling moreso resembles being in the hot seat . ‘ and the shirtless man you are referring to is my boyfriend . ’ perhaps she should be more considerate in delivering the news and yet words roll off tongue with ease , assuming there is somewhat of an unspoken agreement between pair that the affection they share is trapped within four walls and is to spread no further . and so when the opportunity to cross thershold of new romantic prospects arises , it only seems fair that she give it a chance . ‘ it's pretty fresh and i don't want to jinx it , but you should be seeing a lot more of him from now on . ’
liam nods, appreciative of levi for taking the initiative to move things along. he's not sure exactly what time speeches are supposed to begin, or whether there's a difinitive plan for that. but the fact romy, his fiancee and ( very- ) soon-to-be wife, doesn't immediately protest gives him enough confidence that now is a good enough time as ever. he reaches over to give levi's forearm a quick squeeze as his best man gets up. liam's not sure whether it's the warmth of the wedding festivities or champagne that causes his heart to bleed with pride, but it does as he watches levi. everyone teases him for working too much, being a dork in his personal life, not being social enough. but regardless, he's maintained a best friendship with someone he truly admires, and now he's about to usher in this next stage of his life with him. if liam's typically-astute focus wasn't compromised by his few drinks, he'd notice there's something off about his best friend. but honestly, it goes right over his head. all he does is smile up at him as he listens to him talk. he feels romy place a hand over his on the table as the speech begins. though he doesn't outright laugh at the cliffnotes joke, liam offers an encouraging nod and grin. finds it endearing, even if the rest of the intimate crowd is tough. most of them don't know levi — in fact, most of them don't know liam either. the guest attendees are very disproportionately from romy's camp. she's got many more people in her life, and he was all too willing to let her fill out the chairs over him. he's not used to anyone speaking about him with such affection, so his cheeks have the slightest flush to them as levi goes on about how dear he is to him. he's not sure he's ever heard levi be so serious about their friendship like this. but then, the words suddenly fall way, way beyond friendship. liam opens his mouth as if he's going to say something, but nothing comes out. he feels romy's hand whip away from him, and she has no trouble vocalizing : 'what the hell ?' he hears someone drop a fork to a glass plate, strangers murmur, someone cough. and liam ? he's frozen, other than a heart beating hard in his chest and a brain speeding ten thousand miles an hour to try and catch up. eyes still fixed hard on levi, though his expression totally fallen. romy shoves her chair away from the table and interrupts, 'what the hell is your friend talking about, liam ?' she demands, eyes wide and accusatory. liam has no answer other than one so fucking stupid. "rome, he said he's joking !" he turns to levi and waves a hand between the pair. "levi, explain you're just kidding."
chest rises and falls rapidly , deadpan countenance spreading across features as he stares blankly at events unravling before him , as if partaking in an out of body experience that cannot be meddled with in any way . that is until he is called upon by a loved one with whom friendship may be hanging on by a thinning thread , breaking the trance he seems to have fallen into momentarily and jump starting quick footing toward pair in distress . hazy state of mind accounts for microphone that raises at the height of pursed lips once more , mumbling closely into it for all the guests to eavesdrop whether they mean to or not . ‘ rome , relax . it's obviously a joke , what are you so pressed about ? ’ space is filled with the echo of a best man who is on the brink of picking a fight with the bride to be and that is enough for him to drop electronic device to marble floor stretching beneath them , metallic thud signaling that the show is over for those who are not directly involved . ‘ i mean , why would i ever be in love with him ? like , yeah , his hair is stupid good and he has a nice smile , but that's it . ’ predicament he has dragged soon to be newlyweds into is irreversible and beyond excuse and yet , in his impaired state , he believes that a temporary bandaid is all that is necessary to bandage the wound . still , inner monologue threatens to slip through , just as it had done a moment earlier . ‘ there is also the fact that he gets me like nobody else ever has and sometimes i think about what it would be like to kiss him . ’ stares off into the distance as words roll off tongue effortlessly , petals curling into a hint of a smile at mere thought of affection shared between best friends , though he sluggishly snaps back to the reality that this is not an appropriate reaction on his behalf . ‘ but that's not what being in love is and i never actually kissed him . so , it's like , no harm no foul . ’ time may have stood still for the remainder of attendees , yet he takes this moment to stealthily reach across the table for fingers to wrap around half empty glass that has his name written all over it . although , in truth , he is unsure whether it is even his and does not seem to care for it . ‘ can't we just get on with the rest of the programme now ? my speech was only a draft anyway , i can change some things until the wedding day and you will not be hearing any more jokes from me , i promise . ’ continues to irrationally believe his secret is safe and no one in the room bestows any value to his confession , impatient gaze landing on his friend in hopes that he will rescue him from this nightmare and erase all that has transpired throughout the evening .
HE WONDERS IF THE SIGHT would be easier to stomach if he were waiting on the other's doorstep instead of his own — anticipating some warmth, some care, the things he cannot provide himself with. life has tumbled into a jumble of incidents beck gave up on assigning meaning to long ago, and the feelings had followed shortly after. the hand he's offered may be the only sign he's alive at all anymore. it is almost muscle memory, the way his grip melts into calvin's and how he allows himself to be pulled back to reality. pain has become a dull throb he's much too comfortable with as he pads after calvin. « oh, it's not my first rodeo. i'll figure it out, » he promises, the keys the least of his concerns. « well, i ran into a fist. or several of them. multiple times. i think it was on purpose, maybe. you're right, i am very drunk. »
soon as neighbor steadies self on two feet , arm stretches to wrap around aching figure , pushing upward to alleviate any further pain that may be caused by gravity dragging him down at such an inebriated state . ‘ you really need to start being more careful . running into a fist one too many times can cause real damage , you know . ’ well aware cautionary words will most likely go in one ear and out the other and yet he can't help but make half hearted attempt to nudge other in the right direction . pair reaches entrance of the one apartment for which they have keys , metal jingling in clockwise motion to unlock front door and allow them to teeter their way into orderly bedroom . he releases companion from tight grasp onto much more comfortable mattress , hurrying toward nearby closet to provide him with a change of clothes . ‘ i'm sure there's something in there that will fit , so feel free to take your pick . just don't wear my uniform , i might be needing that in a couple of hours . ’
𝑷𝑳𝑶𝑻 𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑷 :: i'm absolutely begging for a summer love plot where muse a goes on vacation to a beach town and meets muse b — the classic beach boy, tanned, always in the water or chilling by the shore. i need that bittersweet tension of "this won't last forever" mixed with the whirlwind intensity of a love that burns fast and fierce. give me all the sun-soaked moments, salty skin, and the feeling of impending goodbye hanging over every kiss. if you're up for plotting this short but steamy, heartache-filled summer romance, message me or like this post !!
hello everyone ! thank you for being so very patient with me and my absence , things kept happening one after the other , but i'm feeling a lot better now . i'm not planning on dropping any threads because i love them all , but if there's anything you'd want to drop please let me know ! i'll dive into my drafts tonight and reach out to whoever i have not responded to on discord .

‘ i didn't introduce you as my boyfriend , so what ? ’ eyes roll almost to the back of own head , disapproval spreading across features in response to misfortune he has brought upon himself . it is not often that pair crosses paths with former colleagues , whose mere presence sours the mood for the rest of the evening on his behalf , forcing him to reminisce about derailed dancing career he cannot seem to mourn enough . ‘ let's not make this a bigger deal than it is , just give me the script of what i'm supposed to say next time and i'll make sure to study hard . ’ / @invcntions

hello my beloveds ! i'm almost done with drafts , which means i can finally do a starter call . so feel free to like this and i'll write you a starter based on one of your wanted plots !
SUPRIYA GANESH as SAMIRA MOHAN THE PITT 1.15 "9:00 PM”
FLASHING PEARLY WHITES AT a pretty girl is no new routine to gray. it has, however, been an unspoken rule to not go fishing so close to home, but he is only a man and resolve falters quickly. she's endlessly charming, clutching her kettle and attempting to force life to plants that are beyond saving — even to his untrained eyes. « good, i'm glad, » he beams, though has half a mind to puncture a tire if it means she'll seek him out again. gaze travels from her flowers to her visage. at least being stuck in the same town for years makes him of some use. « there's a garden center by the old cemetery about fifteen minutes from here. if you know what road to drive. » a pause. « i could probably take you if you wanted. some day. today. whichever. »
laughter bubbles across glossed petals , reading humorous intent into other's suggestion , solely due to the fact that she is least likely of all to know which route to take . ‘ that's a tempting offer , i could definitely use a break from driving for a day . ’ fingers caress decaying flowers , committing only to a short term period of mourning , before gleaming pair of eyes lifts to meet neighborly gaze . ‘ i could do today ! ’ in her newfound motivated state , there is no time like the present and part of her is aware that should no action be taken immediately , she may well neglect this gardening project even further . arched frame leans forward , gently setting down kettle on the front porch and dusting off hands on her way back up . ‘ but you might want to put some clothes on first . if you go shirtless , they will either give us a discount or not let us in at all , not a very safe bet . ’
closed starter for @gardenwalls with romy bautista.
thirty minutes and counting, that was how long had passed since her date was supposed to arrive. romy didn’t consider herself a pessimist, but predicted this wasn’t a case of traffic or miscommunication. she was being stood up. and still she couldn’t fight the habit of letting others walk all over her, and sinking deeper into the couch intending to wait around another half hour.
“ what? ” she then mumbled in surprise when a voice drew her from her thoughts, blinking twice to reveal their face and turning an already bad afternoon into a worse one. lila hadn’t changed much, from when romy had last seen her. or well, her face hadn’t at least. never had she imagined she would catch the other woman wearing an apron in public. or that questionable shade of orange in general. “ you don’t happen to serve something stronger than coffee, do you? ” she asked in a sense of jest, or cynicism. “ whatever you brought that table in the corner looked good though. can i have one of that? ”
‘ well , that table over there is celebrating a special occasion . from what i've gathered , it's a bachelorette brunch , they have a long day of drinking ahead of them . ’ she breathes out a faint sigh , feeling a sense of envy toward carefree sentiment the group seems to share , almost reminding her of past life she has long given up on . ‘ and what you saw me bring over to them is a pitcher of mango rum cooler , it's nice and sweet . ’ response is delivered in honey like timbre , not usually as gentle toward customer antics , but even she can not resist a pretty face every once in a while . for a moment she considers patron's features to be familiar , though surely she would remember having met a charming presence like one that sits before her . tray rests against distasteful coral hued apron wrapped around waistline , one that she has complained about many times in the past , eyes narrowing in suspicion . ‘ i don't mean to intrude , but you're way too beautiful to be stressing out like this . what's got you asking for something stronger than coffee at this time of day ? ’
