being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
Hucklerobby is so funny to me because objectively, yeah, you can see why some people are confused by it as a concept but if you think about it for more than a minute. Why IS he touching on his med student like that?

mel, who reaches for the stray hair just short of getting into your eyes and tucks it behind your ear. here, in the warm solitude of your room, the dimmed lights act as props to you two’s romantic, cheesy first kiss. soft music floats through the charged air—you breathe it in sharply, almost like the realization of what’s about to happen steals the oxygen from your lungs and makes the blood spill from your heart faster.
“sorry, are you okay with this?” mel stumbles, her knee lightly thudding into yours. the sudden cold from the contact makes your hands flex on your bedsheets. “yeah—yes—of course i’m okay with this,” you say, managing a small smile.
mel’s face mirrors yours, and you can feel her relief wafting through the atmosphere. “okay, sorry, just making sure i didn’t misread anything.”
“you have nothing to be sorry about,” you whisper, your head leaning in closer to hers. like the melody playing on your shoddy bluetooth speaker, there’s a crescendo in the intensity floating about your space. you hear the violins get louder as her eyes flick down to your mouth. she looks down immediately, shameful and seemingly afraid. “it’s okay, i’m okay.”
she looks up at you again. you stare at her, beginning to hold her tight shoulders. you circle your thumbs on her skin reassuringly.
now, it’s your eyes that glance at her mouth. slowly, you lift your right hand—left hand still trying to ease her anxiety—and cup her cheek. you make the first move, tentatively pressing onto her lips.
despite the humming of your ceiling fan and the song thrumming quietly in the background, the sound of your kiss is deafening. as soon as her eyes flutter shut, mel presses into you, reverently and taking her time, as if she’s scared that you’ll turn to ashes in her arms.
the two of you pull apart. you breathe a laugh, and then, “that wasn’t so bad!”
mel grins at you. she mutters something indecipherable under her breath.
“what’d you say?” you ask.
“nothing,” she responds, before beginning, “i know love’s too strong of a word, right now, but i don’t know how else to say how i much i like you. so i just hope you know i really really do.”
you beam at that. “well, i’m glad, because i really really like you too, mel.” you grip her by her t-shirt and pull her in for a kiss once more; it’s here where you find yourself thinking—God, i hope i’ll never have to let go of this girl.

i don’t think ravi the perpetual buddie thirdwheeler should end now that he’s no longer single, in fact it should evolve and now he’s somehow bringing may to doubledates where mayravi are the only two aware that it’s a double date
