Meeting and Dating Blane McDonagh
- You meet Blane when Steff decides to aggressively hit on you. The two of them were supposed to hang out yet he was left standing by his car when Steff went to harass you.
- He was about to say something to stop him until you slapped Steff right across the face. Blane bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from laughing but you’d managed to catch the quick ‘pmmf’ he wasn’t able to hide which prompted you to look over.
- Flustered, you met his eye for a short moment before getting into your car and driving off. He watched as you went, asking Steff about you once he’d returned to his side. Of course his answer was filled with curses and Steff lying about and degrading you but Blane could easily see through it.
- The next day at school, you caught him staring at you in the hallway; you hurriedly looked away every time you noticed and tried your best to ignore it which you had to admit was quite difficult. You sort of just thought he was looking at you because you’d made a scene the day before and felt thoroughly embarrassed by his gaze.
- Regardless, you began taking notice of the him as well and found yourself forming a little crush on him against what you thought was your better judgment.
- You usually hung out with a different clique than him so you’d never really interacted before. He didn’t know how to approach you but he figured his best bet was to sit where you and your friends would usually hang out and hope you showed up. He was quite pleased when you did, waving excitedly and motioning you over.
- Before you could even think about going over to him, one of the popular girls came over and started talking to him. He tried to excuse himself politely but by the time he did you’d already left. You spent the rest of the day wondering if he really had been calling you over and he spent the rest of the day cursing himself.
- This went on for a while before he finally just chased you down in front of the school. Once again, he didn't know how to approach you so he sort of just tried his best to casually call your name as he attempted to catch up with you. ....Except there was a loud crowd so you didn’t hear him, forcing him to chase you all the way to your car.
- You were, of course, surprised to find Blane suddenly panting at your side like he’d just ran a marathon so you just stood awkwardly, waiting for him to catch his breath.
- Once he’d gulped down some air, he shyly introduced himself, said he thought you were extremely beautiful and then asked you out. ...You turned him down.
- Regardless of how attractive you thought he was, you couldn’t help but assume he was just like Steff. He awkwardly accepted your answer, albeit very dejectedly, and you went home to scream into your pillow.
- Lucky for the both of you, he didn’t quite give up after that. He persisted and you finally agreed after you heard him defending you when some of his friends were bashing you.
- To say he was shocked would be the understatement of the century. He flashed you a dazzling smile, excitedly pulling you into a hug before apologizing and promising it would be the best date of your life. Spoiler alert: it was.
- On the weekend, he picked you up early and took you to several places: the amusement park, the zoo, the aquarium and finally to a nice diner. He paid for all of it no matter how many times you offered to buy something.
- The night ended with him giving you a sweet kiss on your porch right before you said goodbye to each other.
- The next day at school, you sort of expected him to semi-ignore you/want to keep your relationship on the down low for the sake of his reputation. Surprisingly enough, (to you at least) he met up with you in the hall, kissed your cheek, took your books and grabbed your hand, beginning a conversation as he walked you to class.
- When you saw your friends they either excitedly asked for all of the details or gave you a lot of shit for your choice of man but you knew they meant well.
- Neither of you cared if your friends didn’t like it, you liked each other and you weren’t giving up anytime soon.
- He’s always touching you in public one way or another, whether that be an arm around your waist or shoulder or holding your hand. He likes showing people that you’re together since most wouldn’t expect it.
- Long kisses and warm hugs.
- Lots of gifts. Don’t worry, it barely even dents his allowance.
- He always lends you his coat when it gets cold or lays it down for you to sit on.
- A lot of people have a lot to say about the two of you but you pay it no mind. He always stands up for you no matter who the person talking about you is and after a while no one dares say anything about you or your relationship, at least not in his presence.
- If you think you’ve seen polite you haven't seen anything yet, especially when it has to do with your parents/relatives. He almost makes too good of an impression.
- Always spending time together. This boy can not get enough of you.
- He’ll just spontaneously come up to you and announce that he’s going to take you out after school. He plans dates in boring class.
- Fighting is almost always over an insecurity one of you has. He’s always really calm during them, refusing to yell back which only infuriates you even more. Sometimes you leave and he cries and other times you’ll just break down and he’ll hug you.
- You mutter that you’re still angry and he just shushes you and says that he knows. One of you sniffles out an apology after you calm down and everything's forgiven.
- Most people think he has it all and that there’s no reason for him to be worried about anything but he’s actually pretty insecure. He wonders if you’d find it easier to just date someone else instead of taking shit from people for being with him.
- He doesn’t get jealous very often but when he does he tends to stay pretty levelheaded. He lets you finish whatever it is you’re doing and then just casually asks about the guy, relaxing pretty much as soon as you give him an explanation.
- If he genuinely thinks you like someone other than him he tells you flat out that it’s okay if you want to leave him. It breaks your heart seeing how much he just wants you to be happy even if it isn’t with him.
- You constantly reassure him that you love him and wouldn’t want anyone else and whenever you need it he does the same for you.
- He honestly has the patience of a saint when it comes to you, you could never annoy him no matter how worked up you get.
- He’s always so understanding when you’re upset. He always wants to be there for you but he hates seeing you cry, it breaks his heart.
- He lives for cuddling. Oftentimes you’ll lay cuddled into his side with his arms wrapped around you, your head leaned against his shoulder.
- If the two of you are sleeping in the same bed then just know you’re not getting out of there until the last possible minute. You’re boyfriend turns into an octopus in the morning.
- He always wants to hold and kiss you. He would love to have your attention 24/7 if it were possible; you’re on his mind 90% of the time so it’s only fair, right?
- If you’re ever hanging out with people and trying to ask or say something he’ll get their attention for you and just give you a wink when you give him a grateful look.
- He always supports you no matter what you’re doing.
- Everything you do never ceases to amaze him. It could be the simplest, most mundane thing in the world and he’d still be blown away.
- He can sometimes be forgetful and dismissive of your feelings but he’ll always apologize if he hurts you; he certainly never means to upset you.
- He’ll always want to prolong your dates, asking if you can stay for just a little longer or trying to persuade you to try something else with him.
- For your anniversary he got you an expensive charm bracelet and a bunch of little meaningful charms for you to put on it. Things like: both your initials and birthstones, a little fish/zoo animal for your first date, a little hand for the day you “met”, etc.
- Opens doors for you, pulls out your chair, helps you over puddles; Blane is personally resuscitating chivalry.
- He always manages to cheer you up and make you smile even when you really don’t want to.
- Late night conversations.
- He likes surprising you with a visit when you’re at work or whenever he’s in the neighborhood.
- Teasing him. He gets adorably shy whenever you do.
- Stealing his sunglasses.
- Going shopping together. It doesn’t matter where you go, he just likes going with you.
- Hanging out at the mall.
- Getting shown all his neat little computer tricks.
- He tries his best to keep you away from Steff, he knows that he’ll just act like an ass either in front of you or when you’re gone.
- Getting rides to and from school or wherever else you want to go, you can always persuade him to take you with a kiss.
- Hiding out with him during his friends parties.
- He loves the things that make you different, all your odd little quirks and interests.
- You’re that “perfect” couple that people are envious of. You’re the couple that gets to sit back and watch other peoples relationship drama unfold in uncomfortable and flabbergasted silence.
- He just utterly loves and absolutely adores you. He loves saying and hearing “I love you”.
- You don’t talk about the future often, mostly because you like to live in the moment, but when you do it’s obvious that he’s planning his own with the idea that you’ll be in it.
