Holding hands, Gabriel guides Leo to the bathroom down the hallway. Gabriel helps Leo to sit on the toilet, and then goes to the hall closet to get an extra washcloth and towel. While he’s in there, he grabs some clean sheets which he throws by the door of his room. 

Gabriel returns to the bathroom, putting the towel on the rack and handing the washcloth to Leo. He turns on the water, then looks at Leo. “Ready?” he asks. When Leo nods, Gabriel helps him get into the shower, and guides him under the water. 

It’s a small, stall shower. There’s not a lot of space, and and for both of them to fit, they have to stand almost touching. Gabriel feels very nervous, a little shy. His body is still sensitive from before, and he is hyper-aware of Leo’s body next to his.

it also?? does not help matters that my romantic/sexual orientation is fucking Whack and makes it hard to figure out what my actual feelings are and how i should best proceed?? in general i find i'm romantically attracted to boys but sexually attracted to girls which is just a whole bunch of question marks in a row and looks like this: ????????????? i actually told him this for the first time last night, ehehe. and i don't even know what i'd be like in an actual relationship either cause i'm also not super great on tons of physical contact anyway.

i know it's dumb and silly and i shouldn't but i have this niggling feeling of guilt in the back of my mind that, idk, he'd probably be happier in a relationship with someone who's orientation is a better match?? like it's fully reasonable to want to find someone who's both romantically and sexually attracted to you if you're into that and i feel like i can't?? be that for him??? BUT THIS IS SILLY cause these are all just hypothetical what ifs i'm making up to give me an excuse to not Go 4 It. i mean i haven't even discussed it with him directly obviously because i haven't told him i like him or anything so this conversation would be....way off........in the distance........... and i don't want to feel guilty about my sexuality or be with someone that would make me feel guilty about it because that's dumb and not cool but the guilt is still there nonetheless and i feel like it's gonna be a problem in all future situations involving feelings. uou

duuuuuuuuuuumbbbbbb gayyyyyyyyyyyYYYYY BABY FEEELING SSSSS

an endless aching need [ the morning after ] || @jefferson

She could not say when she had fallen asleep, or what had led up to it. Nor could she recall any dreams if she'd had any. In fact, sleep seemed to have taken such a hold on her tired and weary mind that when she began to stir, she questioned if all of the night before had been the true dream itself.  She was almost afraid of waking, of stirring to see an empty space on the bed next to her. Of realizing it hadn't been real, or worse yet, it had been real and as she slept he had slipped away. Her throat felt dry and sore, and her head still pounded dully, but neither of those compared to pain in her back. Granted she was getting used to that one, having been suffering it for the last week or so, much thanks to the child that was growing inside of her...  Her breathing changed, less even and more fitful, a giveaway that she was conscious now, despite her refusal to open her eyes. She moved just slightly, a grimace pulling at her tired and worn features as she attempted to find any position that was comfortable, but to be honest nothing was. Nothing had been for days. Letting out an audible sigh, she finally relented her attempts to be comfortable, and raised a hand to brush over her lips. She smiled faintly under the touch, finding they were suitably bruised. She supposed with that discovery she had her answer as to how real the night before had been, not that she had ever truly doubted. Only wished to, in some small way. Moving her hand away again she let it fall to the sheets beside her, feeling the warmth of another. Tentatively, she ran her fingers along the larger, rougher hand, and then wordlessly laced her fingers through his.

Itching For a Fight|| Matt and Jack

Matt tossed his head slightly, eyes never leaving the other man’s face. “No, of course not. Wrestling is below me. That was mixed martial arts combined with a little street fighting. Very useful in situations such as this.”

"Whatever you say kid," Jack said, not really caring one way or the other. What he wanted to know is if he should keep his guard up or not. "So are we done sparring then? You just wanted to show off your street smarts? Because as you can see, I'm just fine." He gave a dark smile and straightened up, starting to heal already, though bruises and marks from a good punch tended to stay longer than most injuries, so there were a few of those still visible.

darned tumblr not lettin' me answer properly *grumble grumble*

holy shoot first getting asks and now actual advice it's like christmas up in here wow okay.

Yeah, I definitely want to talk with them more. But it's kind of a 'friend of a friend' situation and I don't know how to organise some sort of scenario where we can talk other than going to pre-organised things of other people. If that makes sense. Agh. For example, tonight was said friend's birthday shindig thing and he was there being awesome and making me feel not-nervous at a social event like wow impressive right there. In fact said friend made me sit next to him. I have like three friends that know the guy better and they are in agreement that we are pretty much the genderbent versions of each other. They claim to ship us and have even given us a ship name. Which doesn't make anything awkward for anyone, of course. ...I'm rambling, aren't I?

But yes, I shall try to talk with him more. Which is difficult enough when just making friend requests on Facebook practically gives me heart palpitations, but. ...*fingers crossed*

Thanks for the ask, by the way! :D

ur so schweet to care oh my gracious

[heckaokay]

NOW LIZ FEELS STUPID.

YEAHHHHHH.

BEING AWKWARD LIKE A BOSS.
