history, huh?

nate & pj​:  

PJ stood up when Nate got off him but he kept himself close to him, not wanting to move too far at this point, “I totally won for the record,” He said in their usual banter. Though for PJ, that meant the tone was pretty deadpan. He hoped the comment would bring Nate back to who he usually was. Things couldn’t be exactly the same now since they’d kissed but whatever happened, he didn’t like the idea of Nate being speechless for it. He started walking toward the exit of the arena, expecting the other to follow. He thought about reaching out to take his hand and drag him towards the nearest private spot but that would have been too obvious and too eager, neither of which were his forte. He didn’t think he would last long before he wanted to kiss him again.

Nate snorted loudly when he heard PJ’s comment. It certainly helped him relax a little bit once he figured out his friend couldn’t be too annoyed with him. “Sure you did, suuure,” he replied, shaking his head briefly with a little smile on his face. When PJ started walking, he didn’t have other choice but to follow. He was unsure what to expect, so he tried to prepare himself for any eventuality. Of course he was failing miserably since all he could think of was their kiss. His whole body was still buzzing with excitement, although he was also terrified. He didn’t know how to explain himself or his actions, apart from honestly admitting that he simply needed that. It wasn’t the greatest explanation, but it was at least something. “PJ..,” he started, then stopped himself. He probably should wait until they were somewhere private, but then he also wanted to be done with it. He was definitely not a patient man. “Do you want to talk about it or..?” He asked, mainly to keep the conversation going.

nate & pj​:

PJ only managed to withhold part of the whine that started when Nate pulled away. There was no doubt the other heard the small part that did escape his lips. He rested his forehead against his as they did and laughed, “You’re welcome,” He replied in a slightly teasing tone. It was clear Nate had no idea what to say in this situation. Though, to be fair, neither did he. His hands had stopped where they were wandering when Nate broke away, not sure what to do now, “I think we should finish training for today,” He said after a few more minutes of silence, “Do you wanna get out of here?” He asked in a quiet voice as if someone else might hear, nodding towards the the exit.

He was very rarely at loss for words. Usually he would just say something snarky or something funny, but in that situation he was unsure what should be said. He had girlfriends before and he kissed other people, but none of them was his best friend. Did he just complicate their relationship? Without a doubt. He didn’t know if PJ just indulged him, not wanting to hurt his feelings, or if he actually wanted it. It was one thing to push away someone random, but another someone who was very close to you. Nate could feel PJ’s hand on him and he did hope that was a good sign. He licked his lips before nodding. “Yeah, that’s probably for the best,” he agreed and slowly started moving away. “I... Yes, let’s go,” he found himself saying. He would probably have to explain himself and not having any witnesses was preferable.

nate & pj​:

Forgetting that they were in the middle of the arena, PJ pushed Nate’s chest so he could sit upright but never lost contact with the other’s lips. He just needed to not have the other lying on top of his chest like that. Instead, his best friend was sitting on his lap as they kissed, completely focused on that. He let go of his shirt and his hands moved lower down to run along Nate’s chest. One arm wrapped around his torso to keep him upright and closer too. He didn’t necessarily care if people saw but if he had, he wouldn’t be paying attention to that anyway. The arena was empty but that could quickly changed. Still, he kept kissing Nate, groaning as he heard his name moaned. The other man said his name many times in a day in many different ways but never had he enjoyed it more than in that moment, “Nate…” He sighed into his mouth as his hands wandered a little more.

Nate barely registered being pushed back as he was still distracted by PJ’s lips, but his mind snapped to attention when he felt his hands touching his chest. He groaned into the other’s lips, feeling both overwhelmed and not. Everything felt so right that he didn’t want to stop, even though at the back of his mind he knew they probably won’t be alone for long. Nate wasn’t certain how long they were kissing and touching but when he reluctantly broke the kiss, he was breathing heavily. A little shy smile appeared on his lips and he looked carefully at PJ, unsure what to say. “Thank you,” he finally whispered. It wasn’t what he wanted to say, but it was better than apologising once again.

[sassenachwrites]

nate & pj​:

PJ was stunned. He didn’t react to the kiss while it was happening or maybe Nate had just pulled away before he could. The normally clear-headed young man had a billion thoughts running through his head. Why had Nate done that? What did this mean? How was he supposed to react? How did he feel about it? It wasn’t the fact that Nate was another man. PJ was openly pansexual and the other knew that. It was the fact that his best friend had just kissed him out of the blue, no warning. He didn’t have the faintest idea that the other had felt that way. By the time he’d finished processing it, Nate was apologising. The other looked completely out of character, awkward, sad, panicked. Before the other could make a move to get up, PJ grabbed his shirt and pulled him close, “Just shut up,” He said and pulled him back in for another kiss, this one more heated than before.

Nate gasped loudly when PJ crashed their mouths together. He wasn’t expecting to be kissed back, especially not so intensely. He quickly collected himself though and put one of his hand at the back of PJ’s neck, pulling him even closer. He had needed this for so long and now that they were finally kissing, Nate’s mind was completely blank. He was fully focused on his best friend and he probably would not notice if some monster suddenly appeared nearby. “PJ,” he moaned when he needed to take a breath. “PJ,” he repeated, nipping on the other’s lower lip.

camille & louis​:

“Thank you,” Louis replied with a sigh. He rolled onto his side, facing her but his eyes were closed. He felt her sit on the bed and his hand moved out to her. He didn’t touch her but he could tell his hand was only a few millimetres away. He inhaled deeply, his nostrils filling with the familiar scent of her. It was comforting. Even when he couldn’t see her, he could feel her presence. Despite the years it had been since their relationship had ended, there was always a comfort. He knew it probably wouldn’t be but he couldn’t help but hope that he could wake up to the comfort too.

As Louis closed his eyes, he suddenly looked so peaceful. She could sense their hands were almost touching and she wanted to moved her hand slightly and maybe put it on the top of his, or maybe squeezed his, or maybe… Or maybe shift her whole body and caress his hair and push it away from his forehead. But she remained still, trying to control her breathing. “Goodnight Louis,” she whispered, closing her eyes for a moment.

cora & harry​:

Harry was threatening one of his clients over the phone two minutes before he heard his door opening without a knock. He knew there was only one person who would do that, so he put on a lazy smile as he turned his chair towards his girlfriend. He still felt ridiculous calling her that because she was so much more to him. She was the only bright element in his life and she made him feel good about himself. She was his and he was hers, there was no other path for them. They were destined to be together and if the pull that he felt when he first saw her was not the evidence of that, then he didn’t know what it was. “I need to finalise a few things, but then I am all yours,” Harry replied, giving her one of his rare smiles. “Care to join me here?” He asked, motioning at the chair that was standing nearby. He kept it just for her, so she could be by his side when he needed to work. 

She smiled brightly at Harry and took the offered seat, moving sightly closer to him. She wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing all day, but she did have a brief idea. While she was studying business and marketing, she didn’t seem particularly inclined to find herself a job in that area. She enjoyed her little flower shop and she knew she wanted to buy it from the owner at some point. She had a lot of good ideas how to make it even better. “Take your time, love, I know you’re busy,” she patted him on the arm. Cora didn’t mind that Harry worked a lot. She knew that when he was with her, he was 100% focused just on her, and any thoughts of work stayed in the office. They had a good dynamic going on and it worked really good for them.

nate & pj​:

“You do,” PJ replied, the teasing falling from his voice quickly. He knew the other was only teasing but Nate and Dawn were the only two people who did actually know him well enough to tell. How he was able to figure it out, PJ wasn’t actually sure but he was grateful for it because someone needed to call him on his shit sometimes. He returned the favour for Nate as well. Falls like that happened from time to time. Sometimes he fell on Nate, other times Nat fell on him. Usually, they were quick to stand up but for some reason they were still in that position, “Nate?” PJ asked, raising an eyebrow at the other, “is everything alr-”

Nate didn’t know what happen and what took over him, but one moment he was still staring at PJ, unmoving, and the next he was leaning down and kissing him softly. He quickly pulled away, is whole body shaking as he looked at his best friend, terrified of his reaction. It was such a stupid thing to do, he told himself. Why did he decide to ruin their relationship? The had been best friends for years and one stupid move could destroy everything. “I’m… I’m sorry,  should’ve have done that. I’m just so… Sorry,” he said quietly. Only after a moment he finally realised he was still laying on the top of PJ and making it even more weird. He didn’t make any move though, secretly hoping not all was lost.

frida & erik​:

“I didn’t think you would be one for slut-shaming, Frida,” Erik shot back, glancing up at her darkly. He hadn’t gotten angry at her before because she had the one with the right to be angry. But he was protective of the people he was close to and that included Lu. So he snapped momentarily, not able to let the comment slide, “It kind of sounds like you don’t actually want me there,” Erik said, not even making a joke out of it because that’s what is really sounded like to him, “I’ll come and I’ll enjoy the exhibition the same way that I would enjoy any other but don’t worry,” He said, slipping the invitation into his jacket, “I’ll stay out of your way,” It was clearly what she wanted. He was just there for appearances and if she needed that, he would give it. Maybe he would never make it up to her but he would try.

"I didn't say she’s a trollop, did I? It’s a classy event and she needs to be dressed appropriately,” Frida explained, trying not to be too bothered by his tone. She tried to remember if he had ever sounded like that when he had been protecting her from the people in her village, but she scolded herself for being sentimental before she could think of anything. “I think we have already established why I invited you,” she sighed. She hated how difficult that situation was. It pained and angered her to be around Erik, but she didn’t have any other choice if she wanted her gallery to succeed. “Let’s hope you stick your word this time. We both know great you are at that,” she drawled.

philippe & thibault​:

Thibault moved into the seat Eleanora had sat in, knowing that no one would be suspicious. Two men who would soon be brother-in-laws sitting next to each other so they didn’t have to talk over the large wooden chair his sister had sat in. Really it was just an excuse for him to get close to the other. He chuckled as he swirled the wine in his cup, “Not exactly. Second-born son, I have less responsibilities than my older brother or even Eleanora,” His sister was younger than he was but as the only princess in their kingdom so far, she was used more as a political pawn than he was, “Not yet but why do you think my loving parents sent me here? Apparently, there weren’t enough suitable ladies in our kingdom so I’ve been sent here. Don’t suppose you can think of any ladies in court I should consider courting?” He asked, not even asking it as a serious question though he was curious as to how he would answer.

“Do you have more time to enjoy yourself then?” Philippe asked, even he was aware of the answer. He wanted to see if Thibault was going to mention something more, perhaps some interesting details about how exactly he liked to have fun. He could then use that information to arrange it for him. Philippe nodded in understanding when the other explained the reason why he was sent with his sister. “I’m sure my mother has a list, I could ask her some suggestions. I would suggest having a look around during events and outings, but do it discreetly. Once the news is out that you’re looking for a wife, mothers from all over the kingdom will come after you,” he said, smirking at Thibault.

lila & hunter​:

Hunter flinched at the flash too, “Now I understand why so many celebrities where sunglasses all the time,” He muttered, trying to joke but happy to be in the restaurant. When they were shown to their seats, he pulled hers out for her. Out of habit mostly but it was a nice touch for anyone watching. Then he took his own seat, “Hmm…” He thought for a moment, “Chicken salad with a side of fries. How does that sound?” He asked, looking up at her with a smirk. He noticed things, everything. When he was around the crafts table, he noticed what people chose, even her, “I tried to,” He said, his smile dropping for a moment but then he put it back on again, “But you’re right, it is a waste of time. I think I’ll have the cheeseburger you know. They’re great here,” He added the bit about his order quickly, not wanting to dwell on the topic of his own relationships much further, “Suppose we’ll have to make time for this one then, won’t we?”

"Please don’t tell me you’re one of those people who would wear sunglasses inside,” she said quietly as he pulled out her chair. She kept looking ahead as a precaution, not wanting to forget herself and roll her eyes at him. When Frost mentioned her usual order, she blinked in surprise. She didn’t think he knew her well enough to know what she liked, so maybe it was just a lucky guess. “That sounds good,” she replied after a moment, when she was sure her voice was not going to sound weird. Lila wanted to question him more about the relationship he mentioned, but perhaps that was not something they should discuss in public. Besides, she wasn’t really interested in details if they didn’t affect her directly. “I suppose we have no other choice,” she said finally. She would have to create a calendar for them so everything would be in one place.

alec & magnus​:

“It most definitely is.” Magnus was a morning person but this was definitely going to have an effect on his mood. He was fairly certain that his staff would be questioning why he was so chipper but it really didn’t matter. He’d endure any teasing that was thrown his way if it meant he could appreciate this more often. “I’m not overly fussy about pastry and will happily eat anything you’ve brought Alexander. However, if I taste one that I am particular fond of I will make sure to tell you immediately.” He half joked. “Why don’t we go and sit on the terrace? It’s a beautiful view at this time in the morning and we can get comfortable.” By that, he meant the sofa that was out there would be the perfect excuse for him to sit close to the other man.

Alec nodded his head in understanding. He wanted to learn as much as he possibly could about Magnus, and finding out what he enjoyed having for breakfast was at the top of his very long list. Izzy could probably come up with even more questions, but for the time being he wanted to keep what was between him and Magnus quiet. Deep down he knew she would be happy for him, but everything was so fresh that he just wanted to enjoy it on his own. “On the terrace? Sure,” he said with a little smile. He did hope it was not one of those places where everything would be visible from the street. He wanted to find an excuse to kiss Magnus again, but he as not yet ready to do it if someone was able to see them.

nate & pj​:

“Nathaniel, I always seem annoyed,” PJ said, “Have you not noticed that?” He asked. It wasn’t like PJ to look any kind of happy even when he was. The exception was Dawn and sometimes Nate when he wasn’t being annoying. Though when he was, he was still happy to be around the other. He managed to keep his balance as Nate made a move to push him away and grabbed the other’s arm to drop the next attack but his footing was off and suddenly the pair were on the ground with Nate on top of him against the sand. All the air was knocked out of PJ but a laugh also escaped him, “Dammit,” He said, “That’s gonna hurt,” He said but currently made no move to push the other off.

"You’re constantly pouting and rolling your eyes so who knows when you’re annoyed and when you’re happy,” he teased. Of course Nate was aware of changes in PJ’s moods, but he couldn’t help himself when it came to annoy him even further. His eyes briefly widened in surprise when he felt himself being pulled towards his friend. He tried to stop himself from falling, but the next thing he knew he was laying on the top of PJ. He distantly heard the blonde chuckle, but all he could do what stare. For too long Nate had been fighting with himself and tried to avoid situations when the two of them could end up so close. He didn’t know when his feelings for PJ had changed, but he told himself he couldn’t risk losing his friend. And yet there they were and he was just staring, unable to do anything. His eyes were fixed on PJ’s lips and he wondered how he would taste, but was too scared to find out. He told himself those feelings would go away, they had to go away, he didn’t think there was any other way for it to end.

camille & louis​:

Louis nodded but didn’t speak for a minute as they moved into his room and he all bus collapsed onto the bed. He began to nod in response to her question but then changed his mind and shook it instead. He wanted her to stay. He did. But it was too much, “I can’t ask that of you, Cam. You don’t have to say. I’ll uh… I’ll be fine,” He said and smiled gratefully as he took the water, “But just… stay til I sleep,” He said. That wasn’t too much to ask for, was it? It wasn’t like he was going to be awake for much longer but he just liked having her here even if it couldn’t be the way he wanted. 

Camille considered his request for a moment, then found herself nodding. He was going to fall asleep soon, so it wasn’t like she would have to stay there long, but at least she would know he was sleeping peacefully. She planned to clean up before leaving, but that could wait a while longer. “I’ll stay,” she assured him and looked around for a place to sit. As there was no chair, she sat on his bed. It felt quite strange to be there, but that whole day was confusing anyway so what was one thing more? 

[sassenachwrites]

ethan & kate​: 

“Well, it’s nice to meet you too, Ethan,” Kate replied as he let go of her hand, and it was nice to meet another young person who happened to live on her street. It was rather boring being the only family whose average age was under fifty, but perhaps that had now changed. “I only know the surrounding area, not campus. I’ll be just as lost as the rest of the freshmen soon enough,” she told the other. “But sure. I have nothing else to do until orientation week except finishing my big room redecoration project. I would show you but it is a big mess, even for me,” she joked, but in all honesty, nothing would be too big of a mess for Kate. “Oh, that’s really cool!” she exclaimed. “You definitely have a music vibe, but I’m not sure I could explain why even if I tried,” she smiled. “Psychology. Hoping to major in neuroscience. I love everything to do with the brain, something you’ll soon learn about me.”

"Oh, I did mean places around here. So far I’ve only seen some restaurant, but I’m sure there’s more to see,” he chuckled. “But if you’re interested, we could check out the campus too. I think they’re giving orientation tours, I have all of them written down in case there are more interesting events happening at the same time.” Ethan was excited to participate in various events that were about to happen during the freshmen week. He was looking for new band members and potential fans, so he needed to be out and about. Maybe he was even going to make new friends, that could certainly be something good to have. He could hang out with them instead of staying at home with his parents. “You know, I’ve heard that before so I can only take it as a compliment,” he flashed her a grin. Ethan raised an eyebrow when she mentioned she was going to study Psychology. “Wow, what are the chances,” he chuckled. “My father may be one of your professors.”
