masterlist
ZAYNE !
acts like he dgaf about it but sits next to you while it airs to keep you company
he has his laptop on his lap and is doing his work, will occasionally glance up to put a face to a name, his ears WILL perk up when he hears something insane
smiles and sometimes lets out a small huff of laughter at the narrators commentary (shoutout Iain my goat)
secretly downloads the app to vote and tells you he hopes x couple gets voted out; only tells you who he voted for after you tell him who you voted for
is not above being bribed for his vote with a couple sweets….
“zaynie please vote x couple i need them to be safe” “absolutely not” “macaroons and ice cream whenever you want for a week”
he immediately pulls out his phone and votes for your couple
immediately clocks who is genuine and who is not, tells you who’s fake as hell before you can even process the conversations they’re having
near the end of the season he is fully paying attention, and when the winners are announced he’s on the edge of his seat, elbows on his knees and hands clasped as he stares intently at the screen
smile proudly when his favorite couple wins, sinking back into the couch and taking you into his arms as you debrief on the finale
he tells you who he thinks will last and who won’t
Greyson and Yvonne are in utter disbelief when he joins theyr conversation about last nights episode; their stoic surgeon is into reality tv ???
RAFAYEL !
is immediately locked in, popcorn in hand and themed mock/cocktails at the ready for premiere night
after you told about the show he was so excited for it to start, he absolutely loves reality tv
has thomas rearrange his schedule because he is NOT getting any spoilers and he will be watching the second the episode is released
picks favorites off the rip and defends them on his burner account, he is a shooter and if you go low he will go Lower
he forgets to switch accounts once, he was trending for three days and gained thousands of followers
hates almost all the guys half the time, calls them shallow losers and smiles proudly when you agree
loves the drama, gets way too invested and starts standing during arguments, bro thinks he’s part of the team
loves the fact the episodes come out almost everyday, makes every night feel like a mini date, cuddling up with you on the couch and kissing you all over
HATES the kissing on the show, rolls his eyes and looks at you, “i kiss waaaay better than that, right cutie?” you giggle, pretending to think for a second, he gasps at you
you have to rewind the episode five minutes because you spent them making out
does the thing where he puts his hand up to cover the subtitles so he doesn’t get any spoilers, it’s serious for him
sees a hate tweet against his favorite islander and calls you to talk about it, the call lasts five hours and end with him coming over to yours
when he wants to talk to you or calls you immediately starts the conversation with “can we go for a chat?”
XAVIER !
doesn’t like the fact that you’re watching other shirtless men on the living room tv
gets pouty when he catches you smiling at something a guy says or does, “i can do that too,” he mumbles, you kiss his pout away and all is well
(he keeps pointing at his cheeks for you to place more kisses to make him feel better)
he starts working out in the living room in hopes you oogle him like the girls on the show oogle the guys, smirks in triumph when he catches you staring with your mouth slightly open at his back and leg muscles
once the season starts getting good he’s more invested, actually paying attention instead of dozing off with his head on your lap
“didn’t she just makeout with that other guy? why is she talking about loyalty?” “I thought you were asleep!” “it got good”
if he has a favorite couple that’s different than yours he’ll lowkey try to persuade you on why his couple are the one true winners
makes a very good argument, also kisses you stupid, resulting in you voting for his couple when he pouts at you with slightly swollen lips and flushed cheeks, dives back into kissing you after you vote
RUNS START TIMES LIKE THE NAVY !!!! refreshes the app 20 minutes before release time because they released an episode early one (1) time and refuses to get spoiled ever again
one time you were running late going home and the episode was already airing, he calls you in a panic, “starlight, where are you? there’s a dumping tonight” “I’m on my back sorry the train is running late”
he appears by your side within seconds, hanging up the phone when you’re in his arms, teleports the two of you into the living room and immediately sits you on the couch
starts watching past seasons after the current one ends, becomes a love island fiend and looks forward to it every year with you
SYLUS !
partially only joins because he was getting fomo hearing luke and kieran giggle with you and talk about the show together
you were hesitant to watch with the twins at first bc they’re like sons to you and they hit you with the “boss lady we have killed people and committed serious crimes” to which you stared at them for a moment, hummed and then handed them the bowl of popcorn and patted the spot next to you
much like zayne, he sits with you to watch but he’s doing his own thing, business negotiations, cleaning his weapons, tinkering with upgrades for mephie
scoffs at comments made by contestants, makes witty remarks here and there that have you and the twins giggling
stares at the tv for a moment, narrows his eyes and groans “i hate him” he says bluntly, continuing to clean his gun with no further comment
slowly starts to pay more attention, choosing favorites and finally joining in on the discourse
“she needs to leave him for a casa boy” he says with a shrug of his shoulders, the three of you stare at him with wide eyes for a second before agreeing loudly “that’s what we said!!!”
doesn’t mention the warmth that blooms in his chest while he pops popcorn in the microwave, he can hear the chatter of the three of you in the living room, and when he walks into the living room with the giant bowls of popcorn he has to hold back tears
you smile up at him, thanking him for the snacks, the twins parrot you in unison, Mephisto is asleep on his perch as the episode starts
during a random conversation about the islanders you figure out his favorites
“that’s my client, they’ll be going to the final” “who taught you about ‘clients’ was it the twins again?” “what are you talking about” “oh my god”
it was the twins, he just likes watching you squirm
CALEB !
already watched every other show with you, this was no different !
he’d notice you getting ready to watch something, would be confused because you guys aren’t currently watching anything on air
“love island! it’s so good caleb you should watch it with me!” “love what?” he would laugh, sitting next to you and wrapping his arms around you
goes eerily quiet when the first shirtless man is on screen
“caleb?” “pips you mean to tell me this is what you’ve been watching?” you just smile at him and kiss his cheek “i like the drama! no one’s as amazing as you ‘leb” he smiles at you, kissing your lips before focusing on the show again
knows you so well he knows when to talk and when to be quiet, always makes funny remarks to make you giggle
his favorites are whoever your favorites are, secretly praying on all the guys downfalls, how can they treat a woman like that?
makes you guys dinner before the episode, the two of you sitting in front of the tv eagerly
debrief after every episode with you, doing your nails or your hair as you talk about it, agreeing with your every point and chiming in when he sees fit
“she’s being so weird! it’s day three you aren’t married you’ve known this guys for three days!” you rant, caleb hums as he carefully paints your nails, “i agree, they both need to explore because this is going to end badly- especially if they make it to casa” “how do you know about casa?” “yu should know by now pips, I do my research”
playfully covers your eyes during challenges, “you don’t need to see all that!” “caleb i have had your cock in my mouth” his face goes red and suddenly he’s bricked at the memory
votes for whoever you want him to vote for, anything for you !!!
if he has a mission he has to go he’ll find a way to stream it, texting you and calling you during the episode so you can watch it together in real time , he WILL bend time and space to make it happen

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
