Sequel to Prince of rain. Against the current, Brandon and Jamie somehow ended up staying together. Neither of them, however, has any greater idea of what exactly "together" means. And so they have quite a journey ahead of them, one which will take them to places neither of them wished they knew existed, but which will also allow them to become more than they thought they could be.

Brandon giving his “what?”/”U talkin’ to me?” stare

[alwayskaysanova]

send me a number and i'll write you a drabble

“Come over here and make me.”

“Have you lost your damn mind!?”

“Please, don’t leave.”

“Do you…well…I mean…I could give you a massage?”

“Wait a minute. Are you jealous?”

“Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”

“I almost lost you.”

“Wanna bet?”

“Don’t you ever do that again!”

“Teach me how to play?”

“Don’t you dare throw that snowba-, goddammit!”

“I think we need to talk.”

“Kiss me.”

“Hey, I’m with you, okay? Always.”

“So, I found this waterfall…”

“It could be worse.”

“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while…”

“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had. Of course I’m in.”

“The paint’s supposed to go where?”

“You need to wake up because I can’t do this without you.”

“We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?”

“I’ve seen the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.”

“Just once.”

“You’re the only one I trust to do this.”

“I can’t believe you talked me into this.”

“I got you a present.”

“I’m pregnant.”

“Marry me?”

“I thought you were dead.”

“It’s not what it looks like…”

“You lied to me.”

“I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”

“Please don’t do this.”

“If you keep looking at me like that we won’t make it to a bed.”

“You heard me. Take. It. Off.”

“I wish I could hate you.”

“Wanna dance?”

“You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

“Hey! I was gonna eat that!”

“Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?”

“You did all of this for me?”

“I swear it was an accident.”

“YOU DID WHAT?!”

“If you die, I’m gonna kill you.”

“Tell me a secret.”

“Hey, have you seen the..? Oh.”

“No one needs to know.”

“Boo.”

“Well this is awkward…”

Random questions shipping meme

A small pairing meme borrowed from here, by Jamie.

Who worries about how they will look when they’re older: Brandon. I can totally see him freaking out after spotting another invisible gray hair on his temple, or running around with a measuring tape every morning as a part of his male type obesity prevention strategy. 

Who makes the mix tapes/cd’s: that depends on when and for what purpose we’d be listening to the mix. We both enjoy music a lot, but Brandon has a background of musical education, so he knows more about music than me and tends to choose high-brow genres such as classical or jazz. And I’m into folk rock, but I doubt if Brandon appreciates the depth of the lyrics and the quiet smoothness of the tune. So more often than not it’s Brandon, I guess.

Clings to the other during scary movies: me. I’m the clingy type and I’d be glad to use any excuse to do that. Besides, it’s not that difficult to give me a scare.

Gets into the shower with the other randomly: I can see both of us doing that quite easily. The difference is that I don’t mind if he walks upon me without an earlier notice, but I never get in without his clear permission. He has a serious reason to protect his privacy like that, and taking shower together should be fun and not a violation.

Flashes the other when they walk by after taking a shower alone: gods, that’s definitely Brandon. I mean, have you seen the movie? That’s all he ever does. You can be sure it doesn’t change anything if he doesn’t live by himself anymore.

Initiates hand holding while the other is driving: me. I’m clingy, I’m cuddly, I can drive Brandon crazy within an instant. Only I don’t do the hand holding while driving, that would be too dense even for a romantic idiot like me. I prefer to hold his arm or pat his thigh instead.

Secretly tries to touch the other in naughty places during public/family events: and that’s Brandon’s payback for what I was doing to him when he was driving.

Asks weird questions in the middle of the night: of course me, I’m all about asking questions, especially such that make little sense to Brandon or seem completely irrelevant, and Brandon is all about ignoring them or avoiding the answer (and “Jamie, it’s three a.m., give me a break” sounds like a perfect way out).

Asks “what are you thinking about?”: me again, but it’s only because Brandon never says what’s on his mind, or really he hardly ever speaks at all. That’s all there’s to it, I swear, really.

Always has to be touching the other, (if either of them do): me, but “always” is such an overstatement. I mean, there’s that huge difference between “99%” and “always”, right? Right?

Yaaay, a Jamie photoset! 

(He has longer hair in the story and no facial hair either, but he does get a haircut later. And this jeans outfit just screams Jamie all over the place.)

Brandon Sullivan.

[noshametoask-blog]

“He had this raw but mysterious way about him, contradicting as it may have seemed. His cheeks were sunken, his complexion ash-pale, like he was suffering from some debilitating condition, but even this couldn’t deny the grace of his looks. The exquisiteness of this chiseled face, of those symmetrical features so firm, but so vulnerable. There was something extraordinary about this face. About its angular shape, broad forehead, fine nose and strong jawline. Something compelling, but at the same time, intimidating” - Prince of rain, Chapter 2: Chasing Waterfalls

Brandon’s theme keeps haunting me, I can’t shake those strings off (quite literally). I really love Let’s get lost too, even though the scene in which it appears is rather unnerving.

Looking at these gifs, I must say Wes doesn’t make such a bad Jamie, either.
