a/n. this is my first time publishing my writing EVER, so i would appreciate feedback more than anything! please know and keep in mind that english isn't my first language. i also had a rush of motivation for this so i have no introduction or a good theme yet, but i'll make all that this week. and don't hesitate to send in requests, i think that's what motivates me to write
- makes you cassette tapes inspired by anything about you: you in the morning, the time you first met, car drives with you…
- ceo of standing under your window with a boombox to serenade you: be it just because or after an argument
- plays “baby come back” after EVERY minor disagreement, and you just get embarrassed at how many times the neighbors must think you break up with your boyfriend
- because really… as annoying as he can get, you’ve never once come even close to breaking up
- drives a red dodge conquest
- has to squeeze in a little, but that’s just what you have to do if you want to drive a car that cool as a 6’3’’ guy
- a gentleman through and through, so he insists on driving you to and from school. if he’s honest he mostly does it for himself though because he can’t stand to be away from you for too long
- works at a local rock radio station; he’s the youngest by several decades but everyone trusts his taste so he chooses like 80% of the tracks played
- matching halloween costumes obviously
- doesn’t do a sport or any demanding extracurriculars himself, but puts his everything into supporting you if you do
- listens to the clash, the smiths and david bowie religiously
- outwardly judges you for being a madonna fan, internally can’t stop grooving to her songs everytime you put them on
- obviously it helps seeing how you’re always so happy listening to them!
- in that vein… always pulls you in for a clumsy little dance when a song you both love comes on
- will absolutely twirl you around and lean you down to place a loud peck on your lips and pull away with a stupidly cute grin
- obviously you two have song, like any respectable couple: drive by the cars
- fitting the title, the first time you heard it together was in his car: after a movie date, already parked back in front of your house, the radio humming low.
- you know you should’ve gotten out already, but there’s something in the air. you two are still talking, but keep sneaking glances at each other
- once the conversation dies down you’re just looking at each other smiling
- that’s when martin leans in
- when you don’t lean back and instead let your eyelids flutter shut, he gets the confidence he needed!
- your first kiss is short and sweet, but sooo soft and careful
- when it’s over way too fast, you lean in again and give him another one, a short peck
- he’s still so dazed he doesn’t completely register you say “goodbye, martin” and open the passenger door to walk to your front door
- manages a smiley and weak “bye”
- you don’t stop smiling on the way to your room, he doesn’t stop smiling on the drive home
- like the two idiots in love you are
- your parents love him: everytime he comes over for dinner or spends time with them he manages to wrap them around his finger
- brought your mom her favorite flowers when he first met her
- talks bands and cars with your dad and offers to help around the house without being asked
- plays games with your little siblings, always!
- if they only knew… how he sneaks through your window after curfew almost every weeknight
- after the first time he did this his ankle hurt for a week from jumping back down… he’s since learned from that, so don’t you worry!
- lays on your bed like it’s his own, feet dangling off the edge because he’s just so tall
- you’re usually sitting against your headboard, knees to your chest
- he thinks this is the best way he can be both comfortable and admire you
- you two are also the mom and dad of both his and your friend group
- and especially younger students at school dream of a highschool boyfriend like your martin
- because everyone can see how obsessed with you he is!
