cranes in the sky

Jasmin Puckerman, but you can call me Jas. Media Studies major at University of San Fran, lover of dance & good burritos. Catch me at Four Barrel Coffee slinging java & laughing at wack pick up lines.

I truly did! And yes, definitely. My parents wouldn’t let me do anything growing up. I would love to go to Greece and see The Parthenon. Oh, great. So basically your sanctuary away from him has been invaded. Ugh, I’m sorry, J. If you ever need some reprieve, you’re welcome to come over. Are you a lot though?

That would be so cool, I hear Greece is gorgeous. The beaches and all that history stuff and architecture to geek out on, it’d be a great experience. Pretty much, yeah. He’s not awful just difficult, like he has to be right about everything, ugh. But I appreciate the offer. I wouldn’t wanna put you and Brighton out, though. I haven’t seen much of him more than morning time when we argue about the bathroom so I guess that’s a good thing.

Kit Wilde? I would laugh but I actually feel sorry for you. Don’t worry though, I’m pretty sure there a few ways to kill that will go unnoticed.

Yep. But then I’d have to get rid of the body and that’s way too much work. So for now I guess I’ll have to tolerate him. 

[jasminsaysrelax]

timothycohenchangx‌:

It really is, and that it does suck, I would like to see more of the diverse side of history. Even if its sad, I still want to know the honest truth and not the half lies we see either

I get that. A lot of the things I learned later came from college history classes or reading on my own.

Im sure we can still do it, since things have gotten real interesting between my dad and his girlfriend. Yeah, its definitely a good thing and I’ve been carpooling with one of my classmates. So that’s cool. If it means spending time with one of my best friends, then Im down for anything.

Yeah, Im hoping so. Eh, sometimes it happens.

Interesting? Like bad or good interesting? But that’s great. Is there something you really wanted to do for your birthday? 

I think the closer it gets to October I can come up with some potential ideas.

“Oh, yeah, you caught me,” Kit said, rolling his eyes deeply. “This is all a clever ruse to catch you in your facemask and jammies.” Kit sighed and ran a hand through his hair, resting his hands back on his hips. It was too easy to respond to her jabs - that was why they would never work, Kit was suddenly reminded; they got under each other’s skin and made each other crazy.

“I’ll call them in the morning,” Kit finally said, “‘cause it’s not like they’re open now, and leaving a stern voicemail isn’t going to do any good.” Kit sighed and shook his head. He was starting to get a headache, right behind his eyes, and he was wondering when he could tap out of this conversation and go to bed.

(God, they’d have to share a bathroom.)

“Meantime,” Kit said, refocusing, “we don’t kill each other until at least this weekend, ‘cause school’s starting and I got–we both have shit to do that’s more important. Deal?”

Jasmin matched his eyeroll with an impressive one of her own. “If I remember correctly, you used to say I looked in anything. And even better wearing nothing,” she added smugly, tossing her hair over her shoulder and turning away from him to head towards the kitchen to grab bottled water from the fridge. The sight of boxes yet to be unpacked only made her sigh, though. This was actually happening. They’d managed to keep their contact limited, and now they were stuck with each other. And just like the boxes that littered her once pristine apartment, Jas didn’t feel like unpacking why the situation bothered her beyond the inconvenience of being surprised by her ex. 

However, it was nice that Kit (for once) didn’t argue with her, agreeing to call housing (though it felt like a long shot) and even she could agree that in that current moment, there wasn’t much either of them could do. Besides it’d been a long day, they were clearly both over it, and all she wanted to do was relax in her space. “Fine. My schedule’s busy enough and I’m sure there’s someone in the psych department you can terrorize for the week. I can wait til the weekend.”

Kit blinked and pursed his lips together as Jasmin shoved a coaster under his beer - fine, sure, whatever. He could accept that - what he couldn’t accept was Jasmin thinking this was his fault somehow.

“Woah woah woah,” Kit said. “Hold the phone. I didn’t do anything,” he retorted, trying to keep his voice level - screaming at her wouldn’t do any good. “I just went where they told me to go. I didn’t even know you lived here. Why would I do this on purpose?”

Kit crossed his arms over his chest, his jaw working slightly. “They didn’t take your request. Not my fault. That sounds like something you need to fix, not me, and in the meantime, I live here too, roomie.”

This was going to be a nightmare.

“I don’t know!” Jas snapped back before taking a deep breath and letting out the irritation on a slow exhale. What she did know was she needed to calm down, that solved nothing. And he was right; how could he have possibly known where she’d lived? The last time they’d spent any time this close to each other the accommodations were different. 

She was feeling slightly calmer until that snide ‘roomie’ and the stupid flex of his stupid muscles with the arm cross, and dark eyes narrowed. “Look, you can’t possibly think this is gonna work out, us living together. I know you want this about as much as I do. Unless you’re really eager to get next to me again.”

josiequeenofharts‌:

I guess that’s true; most of the stuff in there is mine. And he’s actually better than most guys about the toilet seat thing. Thank you, Jas! I think that’s a lot of the allure to me, honestly. Oh my damn, I’m so sorry, ack! Are things… awkward??

You really lucked out, then. What, making up for those missed opportunities? Is there one in particular that’s high on the ‘to-do’ list? It’s hella awkward. We’re barely friends again outside of being a little nice to each other occasionally and my apartment was my place to get away from that. At least we’re not always there at the same time, I guess.

[jasminsaysrelax]

snixtiagolopez‌:

I knew it… are they creepy? Weird? Stupid? Hitting on you all the time?

A general pain in the ass, but a familiar one, I guess. It’s Kit, because the universe has a funny sense of humor. 

[jasminsaysrelax]

josiequeenofharts‌:

It’s much appreciated! Hah, I feel you on that. Especially since my place only has one that B and I have to share. Thank you, Jas! Yeah, for sure, although I’m not against that part of it either; gotta look the part, after all. Thank you, really. I think part of that stems from being so sheltered. My parents were always so close-minded, so I want to do the opposite, you know? That’s the most important thing; I just wouldn’t rule anything out. I’m sorry Jasmin, but wait… really? How and when did that happen?? No, no! As much as I love that topic, I need to hear about this apartment drama.

I feel like he wouldn’t fight you about counter space but look at you, being the considerate roomie. I get that. It’s great you’ll be in a job where you’re able to get those experiences you couldn’t before. Ugh. I don’t know if it was a genuine mix-up or if he did this on purpose but now he’s living in my apartment and Housing isn’t switching it at all.

[jasminsaysrelax]

snixtiagolopez‌:

You’re welcome.

So, have you met your new roommate?

Ugh. Yes. Unfortunately. 

[jasminsaysrelax]

timothycohenchangx‌:

Yes American History, it really is a mess, and it makes me sad how much it is. 

Yeah it’s pretty much centuries of crappy stuff for everyone who isn’t white and male, so I get it. Is there a certain time period you’re most interested in? 

[jasminsaysrelax]

fyhud‌:

Yeah and I wonder if I should’ve asked you if your mom wanted to go out with him. Oh well. None, but I thankfully didn’t get that LA internship so I can focus on my teaching one and I hope soon. I need fun since I’ve missed my birthday.

Eh, it gives me something to look forward to. Im going as Captain Hook, actually. What about you?

Damn, we could’ve pulled off a Parent Trap-style scheme this whole time. Sorry about the LA stuff but if it’s giving you more time somewhere else, I’d say that’s a good thing. And that totally means we should do something for your birthday, even if it’s belated. 

That sounds cute, I’m sure it’s gonna look great. I haven’t thought about Halloween at all yet, which is weird.

[jasminsaysrelax]

josiequeenofharts‌:

Alright, if you’re sure, Jas! Thank you, really. You rock. Awesome then - what’s your favorite kind? Right? I think it really could be. I love being able to show people secret gems and what’s so great about the world. And, yes, of course! Then I can wear one without judgement. I understand that too, I guess, I say just be open to it possibly someday?? Thank you, and eeep! It makes me super excited. Okay, I will do that. It’s easy to have fun with B.

No problem, you’re welcome. Gotta share the wealth. And less stuff that crowds my bathroom cabinet, the better. Okay so that’s the right reason for wanting the job and probably second coolest to the microphone. It’s nice you have that kind of passion, helping people to see parts of the world from a different perspective. I guess I’m not not open to it. But the last time it happened for real things didn’t work out so well. And now I get to be stuck in an apartment with that particular pain in my ass, so that’s fun.But back to you and Brighton being cute, that’s better to talk about. 

[jasminsaysrelax]

snixtiagolopez‌:

I could start a business like that… I need to look into. You know, sometimes you’re very useful.

That was almost a compliment, Santiago. I might be proud. 

[jasminsaysrelax]

timothycohenchangx‌:

I like most or all of history classes, but I think I really do like the general history of our state even if I don’t agree with it at times, or the way others have been treated in the past. 

Oh like American History? Yeah, it’s interesting but definitely a mess.

some confusion | puckerwilde

[jasminsaysrelax]

wildekit‌:

Kit heard the keys in the door and had the decency to mute the TV, although he was glad he didn’t stand up, because when Jasmin walked through the door, he would’ve been knocked flat on his ass again. It was all he could do for a few moments - stare at her, just as confused as she was.

“What the hell,” he finally said, setting his beer on the coffee table before he stood. He was stalling - he rested his hands on his hips and looked at the ceiling, asking God why the fuck he was being punished like this; then he looked back at her and let out a deep sigh.

“I didn’t…do this on purpose. I’m not screwing with you. I just went where they told me to go.”

It felt a little like his heart was stuck on the business end of a rockslide. Jasmin looked good. Really good. New York agreed with her. Them being broken up didn’t render him blind.

But he wasn’t allowed to think that anymore, nevermind say it, so he just pressed his lips in a thin line.

“Do you want a beer?”

Beer? Her mind was busy trying to wrap itself around the fact that her ex was in her place, on her couch, watching her television and offering her beer like he lived there, that Kit’s paltry explanation to his presence had taken a bit to register. Though as realization crept in, Jasmin’s confusion and surprise quickly gave way to irritation. 

“Who told you what to go where?” though the answer was all around her, in the boxes in her (their, now, apparently) kitchen and living room. “No.” She shook her head, long curtain of dark curls swishing back and forth as she glared accusingly at Kit. “This is not happening. And put a damn coaster under that beer!” That part was a lot less contained anger and more of a hiss and she stalked over to her coffee table and slipped one of the colorful cork coasters under the chilled beer bottle. 

She could feel the tension returning in her shoulders as she leveled a fiery look at Kit. From his genuine surprise at seeing her, deep down she knew he’d been as taken aback as she was, but it was still her apartment and she was allowed to be irrational. And she always liked pushing his buttons, secretly enjoying the twist of his lips and the way his arms looked when he crossed them at his chest whenever he was annoyed. “I specifically requested a non-male roommate, I don’t know what you did or why, but you need to fix this right now, Kit.” 

[jasminsaysrelax]

timothycohenchangx‌: 

Yes pretty much,  I t hink I like the history classes

That’s cool. Any particular history class?
