username youāre literally my favorite
yourbestfriend almost didnāt know this wasnāt posted by you, expected more pink
āhe opened the door for me.ā sofia says it all dreamy, like it means something. like itās rare, fragile, and blooming with potential.
you donāt even look up from your phone. āmm,ā you hum. āheās been doing that since he was thirteen.ā
sofia blinks and scratches the back of her neck. āseriously?ā
sarah snorts. āitās true. he used to forget, and sheād just stand there in front of the door with this little princess expression until he realized.ā
āokay-ā you cut in, glancing up finally, a little smug. āit wasnāt like that.ā
āoh my god, yes it was,ā sarah says. āyou wouldnāt move until he circled back like a sad little butler. even my mom started calling him your footman.ā
you roll your eyes but donāt deny it because it was kind of true. it started small in the second grade. at the school doors, you justā¦ paused and expected, with your foot practically tapping the ground. rafe, confused but eager to impress even then, jogged back and opened it. you smiled and he lit up.
then it was car doorsā¦and pulling out your chairā¦and standing on the traffic-facing side of the sidewalk. not because you asked, but because you expected. youād grown up around the kind of southern men who took off their hats when they walked inside and never let women pump their own gas.
and rafe just adapted. he learned your world like it was a second language. you never noticed. not until girls like sofia started fawning over āhow sweetā he was.
you didnāt have the heart to tell them he still slammed doors when you werenāt around. that his idea of flirting was practically insults and bruised knuckles. that the only reason he even knew to grab your coat when it was cold was because the one time he didnāt, you gave him the silent treatment for an hour.
āhe brought me a drink before i even asked,ā sofia adds now, hopeful. āthatās sweet, right?ā
you shoot sarah a look. she doesnāt even try to hide her laugh. āhe only does that because of her.ā
āwhat?ā
āi mean, come on. you think he was out here reading etiquette books? he learned all that shit from being around her twenty-four-seven.ā
sofia falters. āiā¦guess that makes sense.ā her cheeks burn with something unusual.
you hum again, biting back a smile as you scroll. because rafe may be a lot of thingsāloud, reckless, occasionally unhingedābut to you, heās always been the guy who brings your favorite snacks when youāre pissed. who pulls you behind him in a crowd without thinking. who mutters ācareful, babeā every time you trip over your own feet, even though heās the reason the hallway lightbulbās still out.
and when he walks in ten minutes later, sweaty from god-knows-what and shirt halfway untucked, he barely glances at sofia. he sees you on the couch, sees your blanket slipping, and without a word, tugs it up over your shoulder before dropping down beside you.
you smirk. he doesnāt notice. but sofia does and for the first time, she finally gets it. rafe doesnāt do those things because heās nice. he does them because he was raised on your standards. even if he never says it, you both know the truthā¦
if rafe cameronās a gentleman, itās only because you trained the beast yourself.
hi queen! i saw that you gave some smau fic recs, so i wanted to ask if you have any non-smau ones? i find it that authors usually recommend stories similar to their own writing style, and ive been obsessed with kms since youve posted it :)) last chapter (and the xxxtra) were absolutely amazing, i love their evolving dynamic and how they are genuinely forming such a strong emotional bond. cant wait for this weeks update! :))
hiii <3
ohhh guys, atm i'm genuinely the wrong person to ask for recs š¤£ like i mentioned, i barely find the time to browse tumblr for fics, let alone read themš
nonetheless, i'm absolutely honored that you're asking me for that, especially bc you seem to enjoy kms and the two idiots its about hihi (hope you'll enjoy the rest of it as well <3)
okkkkk but i browsed a little through my liked fics that i've already read and i've enjoyed these one's so far

TEXTS BETWEEN CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND!RAFE AND READER
a/n: omg hi are we surprised to see me? i've been so busy lately and haven't had the motivation to write </3 huge props to people who post every day, i admire you all so much.
pics of reader are just for vibes not how she actually looks
who are your favorite smaller writing blogs? i wanna try to help writers get recognition :)
these arenāt specifically āsmaller writing blogsā but they are some of my favorite blogs! ps if youāre a small blog thatās trying to get into writing and you need anything (tips, support, reposts, etc), just message me or send into my inbox!! iām always looking to support people in our tumblr community š«¶š»
the air smells like greasy pizza and chlorine. too many people are packed into kelceās backyard with music thatās always one speaker blowout away from full collapse.
youāre in a hoodie that isnāt yoursāhis, obviouslyāsitting on the edge of the hot tub with your legs in the water, sipping a white claw.
and rafe? rafeās doing that thing again.
the one where heās not talking, not really listening, just watching you like heās scared youāll disappear if he blinks. like heās memorizing the way your nose scrunches when you laugh, or how you talk with your hands even when youāre tipsy, or how your foot brushes his thigh under the water without even realizing.
someone notices before you do.
ādude,ā topper says, with the kind of smirk that makes rafe want to punch him and himself at the same time. āyouāre staring.ā
rafe doesnāt look away. just shrugs, lazy and unapologetic.
āso what if i am?ā
topper raises a brow. āyou look like youāre about to bite her.ā
rafe rolls his eyes but doesnāt answer. doesnāt need to. because youāre laughing at something sarah said, all flushed and golden under string lights, and it guts him.
because thatās his laugh. it should be. heās the one who knows your coffee order and which songs make you cry and that you always check under your bed twice before sleeping. heās the one who holds your hair when youāre sick, who keeps a toothbrush for you in his bathroom drawer, who knows you trace your name on your leg when youāre anxious. heās memorized every inch of your being.
and still, heās just your best friend.
you catch him mid-stare about ten minutes later, a slow glance over your shoulder like you felt it. the heat of his gaze burning through your spine.
āwhat?ā you ask, teasing, grinning. ādo i have something on my face?ā
ānah,ā he says. too quickly. too quiet. ājust lookinā.ā
you narrow your eyes, but you donāt press. you never do. maybe because part of you likes it. maybe because you want him to keep looking. maybe because you already know.
a little later, when you lean into his side and drape your arms around his neck in that drunk and tired way you always do, rafe lets his hand settle on your waist.
he doesnāt say a word, but his jawās clenched, his knuckles white, and god help the next guy who touches you like they think they can.
because rafe doesnāt just stare. he claims. silently. greedily. like heās owed you in every lifetime, and heās just waiting for you to catch up.
iām working a lot the next few days so i donāt really have time to write but i want to talk about mermaid!reader and childhood!best friend!reader so send me thoughts or questions you might have about them!
should i reblog an ask game? i really wanna yap about them
MERMAID!READER who met sarah after being washed up on shore during hurricane agatha. sarah saw something beautiful glimmering in the sand and went to check it out. to her surprise, it was a woman with a tail.
MERMAID!READER who had been terrified as she got swept away by the current. she had never been this close to shore before. she normally stays away due to the horror stories she heard about humans. however, storm watching led to her getting washed ashore.
MERMAID!READER who wasnāt breathing when sarah found her. in a panic, sarah pressed her lips to the lifeless mermaid in an attempt to do CPR. sheās shocked when the girl starts to glow and her tail transforms into legs.
MERMAID!READER whose eyes flutter open to see the prettiest creature sheās ever laid eyes upon hovering above her. who knew why sarahās lips gave her legs. who had heard tales of other mermaids who shared souls with humans, whose kisses gave them legs.
MERMAID!READER who instinctively knows english because itās sarahās native language. sarah finds herself confused when she understands the ānonsenseā syllables reader makes when she sings, though no one else does.
MERMAID!READER whose first piece of human clothing is sarahās sweatshirt. after that, she is often found in long, flowing skirts and crop tops. who braids seashells into her hair and is sometimes seen with a flower tucked behind her ear. who is most often barefoot or in sandals.
MERMAID!READER who has an unnatural air to her. whose hair always falls perfect perfectly, especially when itās wet. who always has a dewy glow to her smooth skin. who moves a little too gracefully to be human.
MERMAID!READER who follows sarah around like a lost puppy. who is a little confused when it comes to human culture, but sarah loves teaching her. she especially loves dressing reader up like sheās her own personal doll.
MERMAID!READER who feels physical pain, like glass against her skin, every time she watches sarah kiss her boyfriend. who knows why but couldnāt tell sarah, not when human customs were so different than those of the mer. on land, it is much harder for sarah to love her, not when she looks like a girl.
MERMAID!READER who misses the sea, but feels more drawn to sarah. the pull she feels to the girl who shares her soul keeps her from returning to her home, even if it hurts not telling sarah the full truth.
a/n: somewhat inspired by @zyaficsās mermaid!reader and also by pinterest
theyāre so angsty and perfect for summer drabbles i love them, send reqs or thoughts!
IN WHICH . . . rafe makes a pact with his childhood best friend
a/n - hi! tysm for 100 followers! i've been sick and also i'm a bit of an inconsistent writer in general, i go where the motivation and inspo take me when they take me lol. but this is my first childhood best friend!rafe drabble! ik i have a few reqs already and just wanted to say they make take me a bit because i want them to be good, so i don't want to rush it and write something bad. and thank you for all of the love on my original post for this pairing! <3
ty @zyafics for reading it first!
wc - 565
the soft, pale blue comforter was familiar, evidence of the amount of times he had been in your room, sat on your bed like it was his own. rafe lay on his back, staring up at your ceiling while he waited for you to try on your dresss for midsummers. you were going together, of course. you had been for the last ten years. it was just easier that way.
you were especially excited about your dress this year. you hadnāt let rafe see it yet, only sent him a closeup of the fabric so he could match you. it was the first time you had gone dress shopping without him, and he couldnāt help but feel a little hurt by it.
he wouldnāt admit this, not even with a gun pointed at his temple, but he liked following you around the store, arms weighted down by every dress you handed him. he liked being the first one to see your dress, the way your eyes would light up when you looked in the mirror outside the dressing room and knew you found the one.
so, yeah, he was a little upset you chose to go shopping with your girl friends instead of him.
fading remnants of the glow-in-the-dark stars he had helped you put up all those years ago stared back at him. he hears the door to your en suite bathroom creak open and immediately shoots up. his eyes grow wide and heās pretty sure his mouth drops open when he sees you.
he stares for a few moments, blinking before a soft, āwow,ā escapes his lips. āyou lookā¦ā
you giggle and do a slow spin, causing the skirt of the dress to flare out around your legs. ādid i just cause rafe cameron to be at a loss for words?ā you tease.
you swear his ears go a little pink. āshut up,ā he mutters, but thereās no heat behind the words.
his eyes scan your form again and he lets out a low chuckle, shaking his head, āall the guys on kildare and iām the lucky bastard that gets to go with you,ā he says, almost like he canāt believe it.
āno one else asked me,ā you say, and thereās a hint of bitterness in your tone. no one asks you because theyāre too afraid of what rafe will do.
ātheir loss is my gain,ā he says with his signature smirk. the one that makes him look care free. the one that twists the knife deeper every time because his only gain is not having some clingy girl wanting to be the new kook princess following him around all night.
you flop back on your bed, staring up at the ceiling and the fading stars. āi donāt know if anyone will ever ask me out,ā you admit quietly, a hint of sadness in your voice.
āthen theyāre idiots,ā he says firmly, laying back so his head is beside yours.
you fall into silence.
āif weāre both single at forty, we should marry each other,ā you blurt, unsure where the idea came from.
you expect him to laugh at you, to tell you he wonāt need to marry you because heād already have a wife and 2.5 kids, but instead he says, āthirty.ā
your eyes widen slightly. āthirty-five.ā
he grins and rolls onto his side to hold out a hand to you. āyouāve got yourself a deal, princess.ā
CH!BSF!READER who met rafe in kindergarten when they were assigned to sit next to each other. rafe was instantly drawn to her warmth and goodness, while she was drawn to the troubled boy who seemed like he just needed someone to care about him.
CH!BSF!READER who was a princess for halloween all throughout elementary school, and rafe was always her prince charming. even when they grew out of trick-or-treating and started going to parties, they still matched costumes.
CH!BSF!READER who started running with a different crowd than rafe in high school. she was always more shy and less reckless than rafe. she threw herself into academics while rafe turned to drugs and parties. but that didn't stop them from going home together every day after school.
CH!BSF!READER who has a whole section of her closet filled with clothes she stole from rafe. he takes them back whenever he sleeps over and they're always in rotation. she has a draw in his room too, plus one in his en suite bathroom. he buys her favorite products and keeps them stocked at tannyhill.
CH!BSF!READER who will pretend to be rafe's angry girlfriend to chase off any clingy tourons he hooks up with. she can't help the twisted satisfaction she feels when she chases them out of his bed, only for her to take their place curled into his side. she pretends it doesn't bother her to think about rafe with other girls.
CH!BSF!READER who is rafeās biggest enabler. sheās as codependent on him as he is on her. she likes that he comes to her and no one else when heās high out of his mind or been in a fight. sheās one of those people who needs to be needed, and rafe canāt live without her. she thrives on his attention the same way he thrives on her care.
CH!BSF!READER who has no idea rafe has threatened banned all of the drug dealers in kildare from selling to her. if she does any drugs, it will be weed and it will be with him. he makes sure of that.
CH!BSF!READER who has been in love with rafe for years but thinks he would never see her in the same way. she has no idea that rafe is in love with her too but doesnāt think heās good enough for her, so he keeps his distance.
a/n: this is in no way my best writing but guys the brain worms are brain worming
