“Wow, what happened, princess? Somebody mixed up your latte order this morning?

[nic-klee]

“Dude. You don’t have a webcam sticker on? What the fuck, man? I look like shit, you can’t do this to me!” He said, as he tried to get his hair in place away from the camera.

“God this year is going by so fast, It really needs to slow down because I’m not ready to turn thirty.” Owen lamented. “I swear it feels like I turned twenty-one two weeks ago, time really does go fast.”

clementiinefraser​:

“oh, okay!” she awkwardly giggled, as she did not understand the reference.  “you don’t have to be sorry, though! leave that to me, i’m the one who apologizes for everything.” he brought her hand to her chest and pouted to add even more emotional drama to the gesture. “you’re the sweetest! you might be my new favorite person!” clémentine gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze, without letting it linger for too long. “i’m very sorry about that, but i am proud of you for being here tonight! it’s a big big big step that deserves all the mcnuggets in the world!” she spoke with enthusiasm. “stop, i’m not an angel!” she protested and chuckled. it was rare that she met someone equally as sweet as her, and she enjoyed every minute of it. “i might have had a whole platter to myself already so that can explain their disappearance. otherwise, you gotta catch the waiters who carry them! the best is to wait for them near the service doors, so you get the first pick!” her glanced followed where he pointed. she did not comment any further on them, simply because she did not know if they were made by the hotel staff or her ex-fiancé, who was responsible for most of the food catering. “i promise you that my intentions are all good, but, i must agree… it does look like i’d be babysitting you. although you’re much taller, so it really is a confusion visual.” she looked around and spotted one of the lucky employees. “i found the cupcakes!” she started to jump on the spot. “hurry up, or all the red velvet ones will be gone!”

“It’s okay, not many people know this show but it’s my favorite. Suits me well”, he laughs. “Your new favorite person? Well, I’m honored”, he proudly nods, being playful. “Thank you, thank you. I do agree... I told her I want two boxes of 20 McNuggets and she said I can get as many as I want! I’m excited now. It’ll also help me with my attempt on dying down the alcohol that’ll be in my system by the end of the night”, another laugh escapes his lips. “But you are! Look at you! This is how angels look!”, he insists, throwing his hands up in her direction. “You seem to be a cupcake expert: consider me impressed”, he adds when he finishes listening to her explanation. “We are a very unlikely pair then”, he jokes and chuckles. “I think you’ll do a great job babysitting me, though: you already led me to the cupcakes tonight”, he nods, following her quickly to get them. “Chocolate are my fave but red velvet is top three choice for me so I wouldn’t wanna miss my chance”

joanne-hunt​:

“I guess when I ask questions regarding your mom, it kind of puts a target on my back for the weird things I might say.” Shrugging her shoulders, Jo following his line of sight. “Oh.. do you think that maybe they’re colored blind and thought the orange was pink? I mean, I’m not denying it looks bad, I’m just trying to come up with a reason for it.”

His brows furrow at her comment, eyeing her with annoyance now. “Don’t bring my mom into this”, he says boldly, teeth clenching. He then focuses on making another comment about this person’s clothing. “If she is, she should have asked third party opinions. Neon orange? It’s burning my eyes”

“I haven’t been to that many places outside of the united states but I really loved Australia.” 

“That’s another great place. Gotta love Sydney”

tracylancexx​:

“That isn’t my goal for today, kid. In no way do I plan to come off as charming and entertaining,” she raised a brow, “unless we’re talking about fighting. That shit’s good. And no, you won’t, you can’t, you will never live past that.” At the mention that Billie Eilish being only 18, Tracy shuddered. “She’s only 18? Oh God damn it. Why are the women I want to hit on either young, in a relationship, or straight?”

“What’s wrong with being charming and entertaining? Both amazing qualities”, he raises a brow then nods before taking another sip of his drink. “You a fighter then? Don’t know why I’m surprised, you look like you can kick some ass”, he nods. “That’s a compliment by the way, don’t get me wrong”, he chuckles lightly and shakes his head. “What if I’ve told you I’ve met Price Harry too?”, he looks over at her, waiting for a reaction. “Oh, yikes. Well, there are plenty of fish in the water out there. Just gotta keep on swimming”

nijikato​:

Niji considered for a moment. Blondes still weren’t her thing if she didn’t fall in for the entire person. Off of aesthetics, darker hair was more her thing. “Or, maybe, he should help each other find our friends?” she offered with a little shrug. “Who was your friend anyways? Anyone I know? If you don’t know mine, you’ve likely heard her.”

“Maybe that’s been the mission all along, did we just solve a puzzle?”, he questions, raising his brows. “I don’t know if you know him but... if you happen to run into someone else with blue hair tonight, that’s him. We are the only blueberries here”, he laughs. “Why do you think I’ve heard about your friend? Is she famous?”

[jamesyeun]

zeldaberres​:

Zelda laughed “Oh I don’t think badass is the right word here” she smiled at him amused. “But thank you- for thinking it anyways.” she chuckled at his confession of having too many drinks. “Its totally okay.” she waved it off, “Its cute”

“Oh, what do you think would be the right word?”, he playfully asks. “I really shouldn’t have drank this much, but I always do”, he laughs, shaking his head. “Well, thank you. So are you”

[jamesyeun]

chrysancho​:

“Well, what if I made this decision – and not just any decision, I feel like it’s quite a significant one – and people don’t respond to it nicely? Or at least the way I want them to.” Despite how comforting the scene was to her, she couldn’t help but keep trailing off with her words. There was a lot she didn’t talk about. A lot she wanted to talk about. A lot she didn’t know how to talk about. “I feel like I should at least be content though, seeing my mum and my brother happy. Seeing my co-workers happy. Everything’s running smoothly right now, and so the one time I become selfish and eventually do something for myself, I’m just going to end up breaking the cycle.”

She nodded at his response, listening intently as he kept on speaking. He had a point, and she believed everything he said – but the difficult part was applying all this to her own life, which she could never seem to get a grip on. Wiping her tears from her face, words fell out her lips in a soft stutter, “This is really embarrassing, I’m sorry. I can’t believe I’m crying in front of someone I just met.” She kept latching onto him, a close-lipped smile appearing when she felt his arm around her. Despite his words, as much as she believed that they were genuine, she didn’t want to burden him more with her account, diverting the conversation elsewhere. “Can we just stay here for a bit longer? I don’t feel like going back. At least not anytime soon, especially at this state.” It wasn’t exactly a lie, but there were other reasons she’d rather keep to herself. At least for just a bit longer. “Thanks again. I really do mean it.”

He listens to her next words carefully, nodding along, even if she can’t really see that. He makes a small pause again as he collects well his thoughts to give her some more answers, he’s never felt he’s good with advice or comforting others, let alone be trustable enough for someone to be this vulnerable with him so tonight feels like a first. And he’s somehow managing to say insightful things. “Well routine is meant to be broken, isn’t it?”, he starts. “You can’t live up to other’s expectations. And risks are always scary but worth taking, if they lead to where your heart is. And if your family or friends can’t understand that, they can be mad at first. Or even turn their backs on you, but I’m sure they truly love you and even if it takes time they’d support you in the end. Whatever it is that’s what you actually want to pursue”, he pauses a little. “I used to take lots of risks. Probably too many. They led me to great things, or things I thought were great at the time. I probably shouldn’t have been there, or should have gotten there differently. But back in the day I thought that was where I should be so I went for it”, he explains.

“I think there was a time where I was determined to pursue things, right now I’m lost. So fucking lost, I don’t know where I even wanna go or why am I even trying to keep on going but-”, he trails off, he doesn’t even know how to finish his own idea, so he tries to stop bringing himself up to his own advice again. “I guess I tried to say I once used to be great, or thought I was great. And it was because I didn’t give two shits what anyone thought of me. Guess I was trying to encourage you to do the same, if possible”, he expresses. “I’m super drunk right now, I hope I’m making sense”, he chuckles a little. “It’s okay. I mean, I wouldn’t mind crying in front of you either”, he lets that thought escape his head out loud. “As in, you’d make me comfortable enough to cry with, if that makes sense? It’s really weird but I have that feeling. I don’t think you’d like two of us crying right now though”, he jokes lightly. “Yes. We can stay... we can stay as long as you want to”, he softly reassures, still keeping her close in his arms. "It's fine. I'll be here to listen if you ever need it again", he confesses. "And thank you... for trusting me with this"

imanidarbandi​:

     “Dude, sad bitch? Really?” She laughed though her face scrunched in disapproval. “They were all doing you a favor. As far as nicknames go, that has got to be the worst I think I’ve ever heard. You deserve a much better nickname than sad bitch.” Just the thought alone of people calling him that seriously causing her to laugh again. “Maybe not one of the most iconic, but it is a lot of fun if you allow yourself to have fun. Then again, be honest. Any event where I’m present is pretty damn iconic.” She completed with a ruffle of her own hair. “And i’m sure you have some pretty annoying customer so that anger is completely justified. Y’know as long as it’s pointed at the people who are doing the annoying and not the people who just want to know how your day was.” It was a rationalization that was a lot more easier said than done. “See that’s what I said! Me? Scary? I’m an angel descended from the heavens. You get it James.” As lovely as the thought sounded, she knew it was more than a little ridiculous. Which made it so easy to laugh along. “I actually had no idea you brought it, which then leads me back to my belief that this is fate. You were meant to be taken under my wing. That’s great man! You should definitely get in a good writing session, and you don’t even have to wait until you’re at home to do it.” She spoke with. approval as she gave his shoulder a soft nudge. “Well. The night is still young. You could very well see her again tonight.” She offered taking another sip of her drink. “Even better! I’ll pick up some food for us before you come over. I’ll even see if Nic would like to join us. The perfect little art family work session.”

“Well, thought it suited well my personality. And c’mon... it’s pretty damn funny: it made you laugh twice, which proves my point”, he proudly says, then laughs along with her. “I do agree, you literally lit up my night”, he smiles at her, wholeheartedly meaning it. “Are you going to the parade on Saturday?”, he curiously asks. “I’ve been... thinking about attending though I haven’t really planned whom with. It’d be my first one”, he confesses. “Of course! Gotta love that ‘can I speak to your manager’ lady every once in a while”, he laughs. “Of course I do... I can’t ever see another thing. An angel only! Imani equals Vesta’s angel”, he plays along, feeling at ease around her to actually be his dorky self that’s been pretty hidden for years: only his sister gets to see him like this, but now Imani quickly finds herself in that small club. Feeling like a sister figure too. “Oh, I always bring my pocket sized sketchbook everywhere: you just never know when inspiration can hit you”, he explains, knowing she’d perfectly get it. “I actually managed to kinda sketch something right at the beginning of the event as I was eating some appetizers. But I also obviously got some other work in there... if you’d like to see?”, he offers: finally allowing someone who isn’t part of his family to take a look at it so this is a huge moment for him. “Well, I hope so”, he confesses, raising his brows before taking a sip of his drink. When she mentions the word ‘family’ he’s feeling moved at best. “Family?”, he repeats. “Wow that’s... adorable. Art family”, his thoughts are now said out loud. “I’d absolutely love that. Sounds like a plan to me. Thank you for adopting me into this little family of yours”

christianmullins​:

“You look great, very in the spirit of the event. If you’d like, I can paint a rainbow flag on your face?” She gasped, “I may be stunning, but I don’t think I’m ready for the responsibility of stealing Beyoncé’s crown from her. That would be a lot of pressure. Thank you, I’ll make sure to blow you a kiss so everyone knows you’re cool. I remember being like that at my first pride! It’s all so exciting. Although to be fair, I think I’m still like that.”

"Gotta show that bi pride”, he smiles. “Oh, wait... a small one on my cheek would actually be adorable. Would you?”, he excitedly asks. “Well, you got a point there. Sounds like a lot of responsibility... what about sharing a stage with her though?”, he teases. “Ah thank you! I’d make sure to be front row. And yeah, I’m wishing I would have come here sooner. It’s simply amazing. Feeling kinda like a late boomer but better late than ever, right?”

gavin-grey​:

“True. A veggie burger is in it’s own category really.” He had had this conversation recently with a friend. The more he talked about it, the more he believed it. “Hey, I didn’t think of the rooftop until you said something. At least now you can tell your sister you made an effort and talked to someone. I can tell my aunt the same thing. Even tell her I stayed longer than planned.”

"Exactly! That’s why you can’t really tell if someone’s vegetarian or not just by that one order”, he agrees. “Guess I needed to show up so this idea came to you”, he teases then chuckles. “That’s true”, he nods then pauses as something he just said catches his attention. “Wait... you were raised by your aunt too?”, he can’t help but ask, though understanding if Gavin didn’t want to answer since he’s probably coming off as too nosy now.
