* 𝟎𝟒 . do they have a favorite movie ?
oliver’s top four , letterboxd style , would have to be : the princess bride , the thing , top gun , & castle in the sky . fifth place goes to superbad . honourable mentions go to tarzan , the mummy , the sandlot & the little rascals from the 90s . it’s hard for him to pick a favourite , really .

oliver was raised jewish . he’d done everything you’re supposed to , growing up -- bar mitzvah & all . he doesn’t practice as much as he should or as much as his mother would like him to , these days . + overall , oliver likes the idea of religion but not so much the institutions . he has some spiritual beliefs -- like , about fate & the universe . but if he were asked to pray to a god , it would be to the one he grew up with . he still identifies that way , he’s just gotten a bit out of touch , spiritually .

“Oh, wait!” William puts a finger up when he notices Oliver approach the table where he’s stationed himself at. It’s out of responsibility, of course. As the guy in charge of the drinks, he has to be at the drinks table. Holding the fort down isn’t a pretense– that William likes to enforce his silly rules has nothing to do with his territorial claim over this area.
After doing quick work out of cleaning off the cutting board from fruit remains, he smiles and reaches for the vodka and a martini glass. “Blue vodka martini. Pisces, I remembered.” And with a wink, he gets to work on the cocktail. William is glad for the social buffer. The last couple of times he’s met with Oliver, the two have been all on their own. While he’s usually good at keeping conversations going, he’s always afraid of where an exchange could turn with the other man. William recognizes his own behavior from looking at his history of relationships, and none of them have been like this one. He might yet mess up on the navigation.
On queue, he knocks over the carton of pineapple juice as he’s reaching for it. “Oh, fuck–” He’s quick enough to recover it, leaving behind a small spill. As he’s reaching for a rag, William laughs at himself. “Hey, your staring is making me nervous. Come on now.”

━━━ ❛ 🕊 : before oliver can speak , william starts . he smiles a shy and fond smile , a little worried will can see how flustered he makes him . ❛ you remembered , ❜ oliver echos , smile growing with a gentle laugh , growing more flustered at the wink . he can’t help but admire how william moves as he works , forgetting what he’d wanted to say or nearly how to speak at all .
they’re both brought back to reality at the spill . ❛ sorry , i’m sorry , ❜ oliver mirrors his laugh , he can’t help it . though he’s not sorry . he’s feeling a little brave , actually . ❛ you want me to stop ? ❜ he smirks , putting a hand over his eyes. ❛ didn’t think you’d minded before . ❜ oliver uncovers his eyes after a moment or two and offers a gentle smile . ❛ but really , you taking care of yourself over here ? have you even had anything to eat ? i can , uh , bring you somethin’ if you want . ❜ he offers , staring again as he watches him work .
𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 : after family dinner , on the beach
𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 : for @quixotiics
susie ended up with her bare feet in the sand just like clockwork. the dinner had ended just a bit ago , some of the folks ended up hanging out in someone’s room , but susie decided to stop by the beach before heading back. she had her entire focus on the sand that was kicked off of her feet which caused her to lightly bump into the figure that had been walking in the opposite direction. ‘ i’m so sorry ! ’, susie exclaimed, taking a step back and finally looking up. only to realize it was oliver. classic. of course they bumped into one another right when they agreed to keep some space. ‘ i- um, hey. ’, she greeted, an awkward smile on her face. ‘ what’re you doing on the beach ? ’, susie asked, although he could have asked the same question. ‘ i- uh i’m leaving soon so… this could be all yours. ’, she began to nervously talk again, giving the other a nervous smile.
━━━ ❛ 🕊 : if there was one consistent thing oliver could predict about susie , it was that she’d always be by the ocean . it was where they’d both started and ended their romance . ❛ i was kind of hoping you’d stay . ❜ his voice far quieter than he’d planned . ❛ i mean .. i’d hoped you’d be here . would you think i’m crazy if i said i’d came looking for you ? ❜
maybe he’d had one too many blue vodka martini’s , or maybe he should’ve finished the one he’d snuck out , still in his hand , for some last minute encouragement . he lifted the glass a little higher , ready to offer it to susie . ❛ i , uh , i know will said no sharing , but ... ❜ he mirrored her nervous smile , ❛ i dunno , i guess i thought you’d like this one . ❜ oliver looks at her fondly , holding back a wave of emotions as he’d thought about their cocktail date nights . he knew she’d think the same. ❛ snuck it out for you , ❜ he offered another smile , though this one more confident . he’s not sure what shifted since they’d last spoken , and he’s almost hoping she won’t ask -- that they can just have tonight . he waves the glass , gently as to not spill , closer to her so she’d take it . ❛ please ? ❜
