everyone, at ( s o m e ) point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all a l o n e in the world, and that nobody loves them now ( and ) that n o b o d y will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives w a n d e r i n g blearily around a loveless landscape,

Tracing random shapes on the empty space of her seat with her finger, Athena sat in silence trying to process the fact that their trip was finally coming to an end. A year had come, gone, and changed her in more ways than expected, but she was finding it difficult to wrap her head around the idea that it was all over. It was almost a year ago when she found herself sitting in the exact same spot under entirely different circumstances. So much has changed between the two since then, but the commitment to their friendship never faltered. That, and the inability to restrain herself from giving Graham a hard time for kicks and giggles. “What kind of a question is that?” she scoffed, pushing herself up from her reclined position. “We’re about to leave Hawaii and you’re asking me to pick between meat and seafood? On an island?” A soft burst of laughter left the girl’s lips as she turned her head toward Graham, her expression shifting to match his in seriousness. “Hmm, okay, let’s go home and eat ice since you can’t read the ‘I want ahi tuna’ written on my forehead in permanent marker,” Athena joked, unbuckling her seat belt. 

graham stared at her blankly as her sarcasm shone through, it wasn't athena without the dripping sarcasm tone that was directed and made for him; absentmindely, he asked for it most of the time. "okay, damn we're getting seafood. you don't have to tell me twice." he unlocked the doors and stepped out and leaned against the car door once it slammed closed. graham took in his surroundings, wondering if it'd be the last time he'd see this. there was always the future of returning, returning back to the villas maybe home to someone else but the surrounding area would be a welcome back to the familiarity he picked up on. "i kind of want grilled salmon with spinach salad."

teagcn:

sitting on the countertop with her legs swinging slowly and her attention trained on her phone until she heard a snap. “hm?” she hummed, looking up at her fiancé as he cooked. the sight infront of her was truly a master piece, her own version of the monet lisa with the love of her life happily cooking her pasta and the villa being her personal louvre with other area holding different pieces of their relationship. she felt like it was 2015 when they had just started dating, she felt like she was in the process of falling in love all over again, but instead it was 3 years later and after many trails and revelations, they were engaged and she was falling faster than she had before. “i threw away the milk after you revealed your cow kink.” teagan said jokingly, smiling at him teasingly. leaning forward to wrap her arms around him and separating her legs to let him stand in between them, she nodded and giggled as he left kisses. “i remember.” she laughed, “i also remember the last time we cooked pasta together and had wine because kaia had offered. the pasta was good, but the wine was off. one moment we were all having a python dinner and the next me, romina, jade, and kaia were terrorizing you and jude with makeup.” she recalled. “maybe we shouldn’t have wine.” 

graham gripped at the island counter and sighed, "what. milk. kink." he said through gritted teeth, lifting his gaze to her and raising a brow. he wiped his hands on a towel before taking the drained pasta and throwing into a pain with the cut up meat and waiting for the milk, "where's my milk why are you kissing me after you insulted me?" he teased back poking out his tongue. he thought back to that memory, it was all too fresh in his mind. his legs pained him in that moment."i remember, you almost broke my legs." he turned around to cup her cheeks, "we'll have tiny sips not enough to get you drunk. if you get drunk off of two sips then.. what are we going to do for our wedding?"

[grahamfr]

@teagcn

“baby, hey.” he snapped his fingers before her to get her attention, “can you grab me the milk from the fridge?” he drained the water from the pasta before tossing in some herbs and spices for the pasta he was cooking for the two. it was a window into their possible lives in the future, after graduating school and settling down. graham felt comfortable and at peace with the love of his life for the first time in this house. it was a shame, he often thought, that it was happening at the end of everything. “you want wine with dinner?” he leaned against the counter as he stood beside her and leaned down to pepper her cheek with kisses, often breaking to see if any of the other python’s would interrupt. “you know, once upon a time in this kitchen you were complaining about not having any food and then we went out and almost died, do you remember?”

rcminas:

it was strange how fast the year seemed to have flown past them, the empty room the biggest reminder they’d all be going home in a few days. it was such a stark contrast to how romina had first felt walking into the villa, like she had all the time in the world to enjoy hawaii. and now there she was, folding the last of her clothes to tuck into her neatly packed suitcase, one of many spread out at the foot of her bed. she glances up when graham calls out, watching him search for something before he’s waving a moisturizer and confessing to a theft she never knew about. romina laughs, scooting over as her roommate throws himself onto her bed.“ so that’s where it went — you know, this whole time time i just thought i misplaced it. you made me beat myself up about being so absentminded for all these months, you should be ashamed, ” romina pretends to chastise before she lets out a sigh, leaning down across her pillows. “ god i can’t believe it’s really over. so much happened, but why does it still feel like we just got here ? i hate this. invent a time machine. ”       

"it's okay, romina.." his eyes trailed from her face to her open suitcase, his smile easily fading away into a quick frown but he was quickly replaced with a small smile. he forgot, his roommates needed to pack too; it was all too real to sit here and watch them rummage through their things and pack away. their nightly cuddles and movies would end soon and he'd be back home, alone in his bedroom to silence; no longer would graham be used to the comfortable voices from his roommates or for him to nag to get him whatever he wanted. "you could have bought it again, i should feel ashamed but .. it's been like five months. come on, look feel my face. smooth as hell." he leaned forward for her to reach and touch his face as he promoted. "invent a time machine, do i look like a scientist?" he sat up and grabbed a pillow to hold, "it's wild, because the first time you walked in here i wanted to die. but in a good way. it was a weird coincidence we were roommates." he teased.

@rcminas

graham set the one packed suitcase he had off to the side and looked at his nearly emptied wardrobe and sighed, thinking back to the first time he moved in and how much he’s grown along with his roommates or how the first time he saw romina step into the room and sent his heart spiraling into confusion, not expecting her as a roommate. he didn’t complain, they had their fun. “hey,” he called to grab her attention as he walked over to his nightstand and rummaged through the bottom drawer to pull out a moisturizer, “so uh, i kind of stole this from you months ago and used it secretly because it smelled nice and made my skin feel like a baby’s butt.” he waved in the air, giving her nothing less than an awkward smile before jogging forward and belly flopping onto her bed. “ugh, takes me back.”

@judewho

but soft, WHAT light through yonder window breaks...it is the e a s t and jude, lacks being the sun. perched UPON his bed with headphones plugged in, graham’s S O F T  — yet tender orbs gaze at the man sitting feet apart engaged in his own world  — created and M O L D E D to his own perfection. the raven haired boy lifted an ever so delicate finger in his d i r e c t i o n, thus bringing it back and running it along his soft painted pink LIPS before advancing forward. a gentle touch falls upon the linen sheets, folded with every movement created. he sits, reaching up to TOUCH the side of his hollow c h e e k; dragging an index along his cheek and letting out a careful, “hey” in which was dragged out in a hushed breath.

@athcnvs

turning off the engine to their rented villa’s car, graham sat back in his seat as the ac flowed in from the vent; gently tapping at his hair as he turned to his best friend beside him. now that he thinks back, they had been at a completely different point in this car once; once full of tears and a fight he had never expected either of them to have and now they sat side by side having their last lunch outing in hawaii. it wasn’t the end for them, not for these two. he sighed and stared off blankly to the food shops they’ve arrived at, “are you feeling meat today or seafood?” graham asked as he went to unlock the door and retrieve the keys from its slot. “i’ll do whatever you decide and if you say oh.. i don’t know, you pick, i’ll drive us around and we’ll go eat ice at home.” he half teased although his expression told otherwise.

[grahamfr]

kaiuhs:

with one glance at his expression, confusion quickly painted across her features. her brows furrowed curiously as she leaned her cheek into the palm of her hand, listening intensively. why did he seem weirder than usual ? “serious… okay,” she repeated after him quietly, nodding her head. as he got ahold of her arms, she shot him a weird look, “what are you do—graham, just spit it out.” kaia said, exhaling a deep sigh. “blessing for what  ? don’t tell me.. graham, holy shit ! is this about teagan ?” she wiggled out of his grasp, standing up excitedly. “are you finally proposing ?” 

“yeah dumbass why else would i need your blessing?” graham retorts with a simple distasteful look that was only ever reserved for kaia, “actually no, i need your blessing to meet your family?” sarcasm drips from his tone like silk on laugh, “anyways i’m not exactly sure what kind of rings teags likes but you do, so help me pick out an engagement ring,i can trust you right?”

teagan: help i need advice

teagan: what if someone did something and i know the person did something but i never said something because if i said something then the person who did the something would be upset because the person who did something did something involving another person who did something and THAT person doesnt know that the other person knows that they did something but the something the person did actually caused this person to do the something they did

teagan: do u get my dilemma

graham: what the fuck are u on teagan

— having taken a hot and much needed shower, nathan was looking forward to settling down for the night. no crazy neighbourhood feuds or wild nights in a bar for tonight. the only unforeseen casualty was that of his toothpaste. nathan treaded over to the nearest bedroom and knocked on the open door. “hey.. i can’t find any toothpaste in the bathroom and mine just ran out so could i steal yours?” he held up his toothbrush awkwardly, hoping his fellow housemate would spare him some pity. 

[grahamfr]

graham faced a reflection of his own, staring back at himself blankly. he leaned forward, brushing his hair away from his forehead as he scanned the area for any new friendly friends he’s been trying to rid of. he spun once he heard a voice boom through, “that’s why you go shopping and buy things like toothpaste.” graham looked at nathan through the mirror before reaching for his toothpaste and held it by his face, “i’ll give it to you for fifteen dollars.”
