arvo can't help but smile, at least somewhat reassured by the other's comforting words, he lightly nods, but still replies, " alright, if you're sure... if you need me to pick up the pace, though, just tell me. " 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

his hand is taken gently, boney fingers interwinding with louis' rather casually, and he hums, obviously content. it takes a moment longer for the other's words to truly settle in, the wink: the teen almost literally makes a squeaky-toy-esque noise, freckled cheeks quickly warming. he hadn't even realized that it could be taken that way, honest to god. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

so, he jumps to try and explain, " uh, sm-smooth, me? " he can't help but laugh a little, both at louis antic's and his own silliness, bashful, he looks away, " i don't know about that... " 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

" i just, um. thought, that... " a beat, " wait, not that holding your hand isn't nice, of course! " he fumbles, not realizing he was only digging a deeper and deeper hole. " because it is nice, and--and, i'm gonna shut up now. " he sort of whines in embarrassment, grimacing a bit at his nervous self. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

[medicinelost-a]

this is a kind of random thought, but i always thought arvo's brace was like... weird, like the style of it is really old school? so, uh! headcanon! he used to have a more normal, modern one, but it broke, or he grew out of it, or something, and they had to find a makeshift solution, tldr.

he also uses an cane sometimes on particularly bad days, and it's one of the collapsible ones, ya know? he likes to joke that he'll smack you with it, if you're being dumb.

makes u all look at my irl face claim for arvo bc i think he fits so well..............

[chmydarling-deactivated20250122]

louis, pleased, nods and provides a big grin so as to underscore this estimation of his, clutching onto the lapels of his jacket. comforted. comfortable. at ease. with him.

his eyes brighten when arvo indulges him and begins discussing flowers and this language of theirs. before, he had generally understood flowers on account of their beauty, taking them merely at surface level. or as a way of indicating the changing of the seasons. or as an apology; a dozen red roses, a dozen wordless apologies, sent by his father's secretary to his mother.

he never knew they could say so much. so much more.

he nods thoughtfully from time to time and smiles encouragingly, wishing to demonstrate to arvo his genuine interest and curiosity in the topic. when he has finished speaking, he holds up another finger, asking h o p i n g for his continued patience while he returns to the notepad and puts his hand and mind to a fresh page. this one takes a little longer, as he takes his time with it, drawing from memory. hoping to represent the item accurately. most of all, to indicate its symbolism.

he gifts the page to him with a certain uncertainty. it's not anywhere near tenn's level of artistry. or aj's. it's a sketch. a bunch, a bouquet of flowers, decorate the page. it's sunflowers.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

arvo perks up a bit when the other raises a silent finger, he gives a light nod--a silent, 'i'll wait!', as he does, of course. humming to himself quietly, he picks at the table's splinters, occasionally taking a peek up at louis, and smiling to himself. before looking away again, ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ almost bashful. he just was happy to be able to share something like this, to have someone take such interest in something he loves so. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

once the other is done, he gently takes the page, and... 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

well, he can't help but melt a bit, " aw, you're giving these to me? really? " he says, all sparkly-eyed and now holding page lightly to his chest, " well... i'll be sure to cherish them, yes? i'll hang them up in my room, or something like that. " a nod, nod, nod. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

he thinks for a moment, eyes wandering, " i'll have to get you some flowers from the greenhouse, as a thank you. it's only fair, right? " softly, he laughs. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ " lavender, primrose, tulips--i grow all kinds, so, you'll have your pickings! " a beat, " pun intended, of course. " a smile. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

“would you let me.. cut your hair?”

@walkerwhisperer // random inbox memes .

crouched beside the campfire, arvo pokes and prods the fiery embers, trying to keep it burning, but--he's a bit distracted, as, well. for what must've been the hundredth time, he has to push dark, unruly locks from his face, huffing a bit in annoyance. james must've noticed. 💊

" ah? " arvo perks, before pausing, clearly thinking on it, before--what the hell, a shrug, " well i do not see why not... is better to get out of face, no? " 💊

a sigh, as he places the twig he'd been using as a stoker down, and sitting in front of james with a creak from his makeshift leg brace. a pause, before the turns, looking back over his shoulder, expression playful. 💊

" promise will still think am pretty after this? " he jokes, lighthearted. 💊

fr @regretbell !! / “is that my sweater you’re wearing?”

@regretbell // random inbox memes .

arvo stops in his tracks when ben calls out for him, turning with peaked interest, as the other trots up to him. question asked: the russian looks down at himself, and flushes a deep shade of red, realizing he is in fact, wearing ben's sweatshirt, instead his own. 💊

" shoot, " he slaps a hand to his forehead, " i must've grabbed wrong one, leaving your tent this morning... " he mumbles, mostly to himself. he can't help but laugh a little at his own apparent obliviousness. 💊

" do you, ah... want back, or? " (he'd already been walking around like this for a few hours, everyone must've noticed... he can't help but be embarrassed, so much for subtly, huh?) 💊

[medicinelost-a]

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

/ these two.. 🥺

@chmydarling // 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬 .

arvo can't help but worry about louis sometimes, a lot of the time, even--it must be hard, a lone sunflower in a field: trying to keep everyone's spirits up, not letting them see your own struggles... he wants the other boy to know he's there for him, too. friendship, it wasn't a one-way-street, after all! 💊‏‏‎

so, he gently takes louis' hand in his, the gesture a little awkward, as most things he did, but. he hoped it came as some sort of comfort anyway. 💊‏‏‎

" well, i'm glad, but... " a pause, a thoughtful one, he lightly adjusts his glasses with his free hand, " if you need anything, like... at all, you can tell me, right? " 💊‏‏‎

" ev-even if it's just. a joke, to cheer you up! i'm not as good at them as you, obviously, but i can certainly try! " he seems a bit embarrassed about being so forward, but he was quite determined, nonetheless. 💊‏‏‎

i might follow in blizz's footsteps and throw out everything abt arvo's canon that i don't like, though there admittedly isn't a lot there, so. rip.

so basically, he didn't shoot clem, bc while i realize that's like, his defining moment in fanon, i always thought it was just a dumb plot device, ya know?

instead, he begrudgingly stays with the group, and what happens from there is up to interpretation/the thread itself, ok, thank you!

@regretbell // 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬 .

arvo hisses through his front teeth as the alcohol pad dabs against broken skin, trying to not squirm too much under the other's touch. 💊

" this sucks. this sucks. " he repeats a handful of times, as if it was his new favorite mantra, grumbling a little, not at ben, but his own stupidity. having fallen the way he did, head meeting concrete, he was just glad the other was there, and was willing to help him out. 💊

though the medic, of course, wasn't squeamish, he was still kind of a wimp when it came to doctoring his own wounds, it'd seem. his head swims, he's still a little dizzied by the incident, yet he smiles, shakily. 💊

" i guess, at least now know what is like, on other end of, yes? " a light sigh as the wound is bandaged up, he absentmindedly glances around the medic tent. 💊

voice quieter, he says, " ...thank you, benny. seriously. " 💊

[chmydarling-deactivated20250122]

louis smiles in appreciation of arvo's patience, his gentleness. his kindness. he feels s a f e in his company somehow. always has done. others, they were quick to anger, to grow weary or dismiss. and that was fine. valid. that was how they were. that was who they were. but not arvo. and that was so appreciated by louis. now more so than ever.

a smile still plays upon his lips, brightening his face, as he scrawls his response across the paper before presenting it to him once more.

totally agree. lilacs are pretty darn cool. just like you ☺ i'm more of a sunflower kind of guy myself i think. always loved em

tall. sunny. the happy flower. a h o p e f u l flower.

he remembers growing one with mom. she had jokingly used it to keep track of his ever-increasing height. he had always hoped it would catch up to him. but it didn't get to. because it got knocked over. and then it got ran over by some guy who was doing work at their house. renovating or expanding some other part of it or something or other. like it had a shortage of rooms. of presence. when he was younger, louis would get spooked by how much it echoed when you spoke inside. upon reflection, he was pretty sure his dad just added to or expanded the house whenever he got bored.

his brow creases slightly as he thinks back on the other's words. he holds up a finger before quickly scribbling another message, another thought, onto the page.

wait... are you telling me that flowers have a whole language? please do go on. talk flower to me man!

[medicinelost-a]

" sunflowers, huh? " arvo says, having glanced over the note slipped his way once more, " i can definitely see it--your sunny disposition, and all. " he says with a light nod, eyes wandering off in thought. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

but, the boy's expression seems to lighten up further at the topic breached, the language of flowers: it was one of his favorite things, in fact! happy to share it, he gently drums his hands on his lap, unable to keep his excitement under wraps. 💊

" ah, well! it's not a language in a traditional sense, but you can say many things with a simple bouquet! like, for example... " " lilacs, they're meant to represent those first feelings of love, youthfulness and innocence, that sort of thing, you know? " 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ " and, sunflowers! they mean adoration, and loyalty, in reference to whatever lucky person you may gift them to, very fitting for you, no? " arvo clasps his hands together, smiling bright and tipping his head a bit, hoping this will help cheer louis up, at least a little, anyway. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

arvo had been traveling with this new group for a few weeks now, and he's slowly coming to terms with this new normal, somewhat. but, of course, the nerves still eat away at him, the guilt of what happened, how their first meeting went replays in his head, again and again. (he didn't want to rob them! it was buricko and vitali's ideas, the retaliation, they didn't take the strangers threats lightly.) 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

holding a chess piece, his hand shakes slightly. but, suddenly, he pulled from his thoughts by a certain girl's voice, he jumps a little with a light gasp, eyes darting up from the game board in front of him. arvo shakes his head, sets the piece down, fidgeting with hands, he fumbles over his words for a moment. his grasp on english was certainly improving, but it still sometimes took him a second. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‏‏‎

" um! of course, of course... do you wish to play? " (it would be better then playing alone, at least.) 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

[medicinelost-a]

arvo can't help but smile bashfully at all the compliments, tucking some hair behind his ear--he was all too used to the 'could be better's and 'that's too dangerous's from the adults in his life, along with general bullying from his peers, so the praise was a nice change of pace. 💊

he fidgets with his hands and looks down, lightly rocking and forth, an expression of his happiness, of his excitement to share with the other. 💊

" thank you... " arvo says quietly, freckled cheeks warming slightly, " i'm almost done with the important parts, and anything after that is just cosmetics, so... " " would you, um. like to test fly it with me later? " he looks back up, and after a moment or two, his expression subtly changes: playful, a bit teasing, even. 💊

" just, promise you won't cause too much chaos with it, okay? " 💊

[medicinelost-a]

continued from here! // @chmydarling

arvo's brow furrows lightly in concern, he was never the poetic type after all, math problems and scientific methods--that was more his thing, but he hoped his words came as a comfort nonetheless. he fidgets with his hands, looking away for a moment in thought, until--he perks, a notebook page slid his way. 💊

he plucks it from the table, his heart can't help but break a little, see -ing the remnants of emotion so obvious on the page. but, he doesn't mention it, as louis was obviously trying to keep spirits high--as usual. 💊

instead, arvo smiles lightly, and hums in thought, " oh gosh, i dunno. i have so many favorites, you know? " he thinks on it a moment longer. " maybe lilacs? they're just so pretty, plus their meaning in flower language is rather sweet. " a nod, nod, nod. 💊

" what about you, louie? what kind of flower would you be? " he slides the page back over, so the other could, of course, write out his answer. 💊
