#i miss this guy #maybe i'll try to be more active over break

I need a father, I need a mother, I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God but the sky is empty.

Sylvia Plath - Taken From ‘The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath’ February, 1956 (via watchoutforintellect)

#oh #oh......#this is eli when he finds out he's sick #( MUSINGS ┋‘ I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY! ’ )

she’s past the point of crying . she has been for quite some time now . his words , despite the emotions , mean nothing to her . ever since the news broke , she hasn’t really said much , strange for someone who’s constantly talking . for the first time since he’s come home , she looks at him . even then , her stare is empty , as if she’s looking through him . “ i need some time away . ” from you . her voice is soft but it doesn’t tremble over the words she’s replayed in her head thousands of times . going off - script , though , her tone wavers . “ i … i have to go. ”

She won’t come back if she leaves, and he knows that they both know that. Eli is powerless to stop her, of course, to stop his life from walking out the door with her, but he deserves it for what he’s done and they both know that too. ❝ Pam... ❞ He can’t bring himself to look at her, but he does stand in front of the door, meaning that she’s going to have to push past him to leave. ❝ Please, please don’t leave me. ❞

#hasflown #( VERSE ┋‘ PAPER CAGES. ’ )#you done fucked up eli idk what to say

that was surely not bernard’s intended reaction - & it shows by how he visibly cringes at his misstep. ❝ i know, it’s … gonna be hard for a while. ❞ a solemn nod of his head, daring himself to take another sip of his own drink. ❝ but she was no good - not for you. it hurts now, but in the future, you’ll see. you’ll be thankful. ❞ also probably not as helpful as he intended, so bernard will add : ❝ i’m here for you the whole journey, man. ❞

❝ Yeah, yeah, that’s what everyone says... ❞ Eli pours himself more vodka, filling the glass up to the brim and gulping it down as if it was water. He hasn’t been sober for a single night since their acrimonious breakup, and honestly, who can blame him? ❝ Mate, I don’t know, I just feel like she was my one chance of havin’ a happy family and now that’s gone and that’s that. ❞

#novamelt #( VERSE ┋‘ PAPER CAGES. ’ )#please eli needs someone to be emo with #bernard is a good friend lmao

eli? at karaoke? singing “tainted love”? it’s more likely than you think!

@paperrcages — * liked for a starter.

Taking a bite of something, the journalist’s features had contorted. Whatever this was that he had just given her was super TART . “ Christ…” Saying only after the thought of swallowing left her no choice but to. “ What the hell did I just sample ? “ Gloves over her hands she removed them and stuck them into her large dark green pea coat. Grabbing out her water she kept in her bag and desperately drinking from it. Going back and forth between America and England all her life was quite impression. Then again her father was a music producer and worked out of London. Which is where she was staying.

Why ever buy a house or a flat ? Often finding herself in the guest room of her parents’ respective homes. Then in New York City to crash on her brother’s couch. It was quite the life she lived it would seem. Now she’d been hanging out with him, Eli Chapman. In a bakery, a few bodyguards outside. Dark eyes focusing now on the display case. “ Hmmm…” Her favorite English treat would have to be a cinnamon sugar scone. Then it got her thinking about her favorite American treat. “ Have you ever had a custard filled doughnut ? “ Looking around some. “ Also, do these guys ever like…leave you alone ? “

❝ It’s Klaben. I’m surprised you don’t like it! ❞ He grins at her reaction, finishing off the rest of the sweet treat like a child being given access to the cookie jar. To say Eli has strange taste in food would be to put it lightly. ❝ What, those guys? Nah, they never leave me alone. They’re in the room when I fuck, too. ❞ He says it in a completely deadpan manner, although the mischeivous raise of his eyebrow gives away the fact that he’s just kidding. ❝ Oh yeah, custard doughtnuts--- we have jelly-filled ones in Berlin. We call them Pfannkuchen there, but they’re known as Berliners outside of Berlin. ❞ A pause, as he munches on another slice of bread. Eli’s appetite is quite stunning, given how lanky and skinny he is. ❝ You ever been to Berlin? I love it. ❞

#musicprinted #thanks for the starter i'm sorry i never got the notif for it!#( VERSE ┋‘ PAPER CAGES. ’ )

It’s an effort not to laugh as Eli mulls it over. Perhaps Ben should feel a little guilty about this, especially if he did end up dragging some poor girl over once they were out. But a tenner was a tenner, and this beat studying. “ Did you just indirectly call me a nerd? Stereotype much. Maybe I like someone a bit… rougher. ”

❝ ‘Course you’re a fuckin’ nerd. Only nerds wear glasses like these. ❞ He puts Ben’s glasses on for dramatic effect and pulls a face. Real mature, Eli. ❝ I’m nothing if not direct. ❞ That much is true, at least, and he cracks a grin as he puts the glasses back down. ❝ C’mon, mate, stop being such a stick in the mud. ❞

#naivelost #( VERSE ┋‘ BETTER ON HOLIDAY. ’ )#just gonna pretend those ray bans are glasses #eli why are you like this....

naivelost‌:

Ten pounds! Not even a fiver. Ben hides his smile as best he can, trying to look serious about the whole thing. Which, he kind of was. An extra tenner meant he could get something other than shitty Richmond Superkings. “ Swooning works both ways, mate. What do you think my type even is? ”

❝ Hmm, I don’t know--- ❞ He looks at Ben up and down, as if that’s going to help him determine his answer. Eli fancies himself to be a real matchmaker and all that, but the truth is, Mia is his first serious girlfriend and they only started dating because she’d order pizza almost every night but never tip him when he delivered. Yeah, real match made in heaven stuff. ❝ Maybe the artsy type. You know, half-bleached hair, carries a tote bag, round glasses, art student. ❞

#naivelost #( VERSE ┋‘ BETTER ON HOLIDAY. ’ )#oh she DEFFO will #like he comes out with ben and tells mia about the bet #and mia and ben just exchange knowing looks LMAOOOO

naivelost‌:

Jostled, Ben gives Eli some side-eye before finally putting his book down. It didn’t seem likely he’d be given a chance to focus on it in peace again. Plus, it was always interesting to see how far he could push the straight thing. Mingle behind enemy lines. “ I don’t know about that. I never have any luck with girls. ”

❝ Oh, c’mon, mate, leave it with me. ❞ Eli grins, somewhat amused at Ben’s assertion that he has no luck with the ladies. ❝ You’re on for ten quid. Ten quid says I’ll find you a girl who’s just swooning over you by the end of the night. ❞

#naivelost #( VERSE ┋‘ PAPER CAGES. ’ )#yeah mia is cool like she's probably already told ben that she's bi #also eli is bi but...... is really repressed so RIP eli

novamelt‌:

❝ let me tell you something - ❞ bernard is rarely ever completely honest. he’s always been a big believer in true honesty being bad for relationships. his glass is raised, ❝ i never liked them anyways. they were bad for you. ❞ it’s like a relief to admit - & bernard even dares to offer a half smile. ❝ you’re better off without them, guaranteed. ❞

❝ Yeah, it’s just------ y’know. We were engaged. We were together for six years--- that’s a fuckin’ quarter of my life, almost. I thought I was gonna marry Mia and settle down with her, and... ❞ He trails off and finishes the rest of his drink, because he’s going to need that tonight. ❝ Six years is a long time, and you don’t forget that just overnight. ❞

#novamelt #hey i hope you don't mind!!#( VERSE ┋‘ PAPER CAGES. ’ )

IT’D BEEN QUITE A WHILE since scott’s last encounter with eli despite the occasional phone call - but seeing someone in person was always so much more securing. as they sat down beneath the barlight, scott relearned eli’s facial features through a vague interested gaze. he smiled slightly, assured that a musician’s tour tales would bear no lack of hilarity or absurdity. ❛❛ good to see you again, man. i’ve got all the time in the world tonight, so i’m all ears. what’s been up ? ❜❜

❝ Oh, where do I begin? Maybe the fact that we’re banned from this whole chain of hotels now because Ben tried to pull a Keith Moon and blow up the fuckin’ toilet in Paris? Or that performance at Glasto--- did you see it? Crowdsurfing in that huge fuckin’ crowd? And being on the cover of NME with Paul bloody McCartney! ❞ He sounds like an excited schoolboy when he talks about that stuff--- being on tour can be monotonous and boring, but it can equally be so much fun, and Eli likes to focus on the fun.

#croweswiings #( VERSE ┋‘ PAPER CAGES. ’ )#ur good!!!

naivelost‌:

Ben could only really function on all work. In the past, all play had led to the delights of a stomach pump. He’s almost tempted, though. Until that statement. He looks up from his book, frowning over his glasses. Why did it never sound like the girls had a choice? “ Nice try. But sorority girls aren’t my type. ” Whatever that meant…

❝ Oh, c’mon, Ben. ❞ Eli rolls his eyes and shakes his head, wondering in the back of his mind just how sorority girls aren’t everyone’s type. ❝ Well, whatever kind of bird you fancy, I’m sure we’ll find her tonight. ❞ He nudges his friend, clearly impatient at Ben’s dithering. ❝ Don’t be such an old man. ❞

#naivelost #( VERSE ┋‘ BETTER ON HOLIDAY. ’ )#oh yeah is ben out or???#bc im just having this mental image of mia (eli's gf) being like #''he's gay you idiot why are you telling him about sorority girls''

"this time, same as before, i’ll love you forever.”

#i'll make a proper edit later but it's so fuckin great to have a proper fc for mia now #i love them sooooooo much bye #( ELI ┋‘ IMPECCABLE FRONTMAN. ’ )#( ELI & MIA ┋‘ SAME AS BEFORE; I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER! ’ )

naivelost‌:

“ Do you ever give your liver a break? ” It’s a moody response. Hypocritical, too, as Ben wouldn’t have to be trying to get through his reading so quickly if he’d gone out a bit less. “ I’d like not be a dropout. ”

❝ Give my liver a break? Please. ❞ He snorts at the absurdity of the statement. ❝ C’mon, all work and no play makes Ben a dull boy. Mia’s sorority sisters are gonna be out tonight, too--- you can’t say no to a group of hot girls. ❞

#naivelost #eli: come out with us tonight there'll be hot girls #also eli: doesn't know ben is gay #lmaoooo #( VERSE ┋‘ BETTER ON HOLIDAY. ’ )
