"An old flame who refuses to burn out"
[GN! Reader x Amir, Hector, Volt & Eddie]
🪞 Amir 🪞
- It happened during one of your "compliment taking" lessons, Amir was proud of the progress you've made over the months you had known each other. You could accept compliments much easier now and wouldn't hesitate to throw one back at him all the while giving him that smile that made his heart wanna leap out of his chest and into your arms.
- At first when your phone started going off he ignored it, assuming it's just your ex-boss or that assistant guy? Tom was his name he believed, were texting you again, nothing new really. But then it continued and he could see the tension rising in your body and before he could ask what was bothering you. He watched as you stormed off, cursing under your breath with your phone in hand as you typed something before throwing a pillow on top of it. [He felt a bit sorry for poor, Phoenicia but he could check on her later]
- He walked you downstairs, away from the constant buzzing to ask you what bothering his love. At first you refused to talk, staying quiet since you didn't want to bother Amir with it but he wasn't one for backing down and soon pried a "It's nothing, really...Just some idiot who dosen't know when to quit" from you
- Amirs curiosity was spiked and he continued to dig for more information. Holding your hand as he slowly kissed it up and down, across each knuckle before pulling back with a smile. Slowly but surely your body relaxed, shoulders un-tensed as he guided you to lean against him, running his hand through your hair and whispering sweet nothings into your ear.
- In the end it had all payed out as you let out a deep sigh and explained that your shitty ex was contacting you again. You had blocked them everywhere but they got a new number and messaged you over and over again, at first it seemed like normal small talk but of course that couldn't last. They suggested that you two should get back together, that the break-up and the fights were mostly your fault for 'stifling their dreams' and 'wanting so much attention.' When at most you asked to see or hear from them every now and then, to know they were ok but they wouldn't listen, they never did
- And as you talked Amir listened, he remembered a few years ago when you would stride into the bathroom with a smile and the air of pure excitement and confidence. You would always wear that gorgeous outfits as you made sure your hair was perfect before storming out of the house with a pleased hum. Only to return later looking exhausted, leaning against the sink as you washed your face. That wonderful smile he saw that morning, washed away and he could only watch you suffer. So close yet so far away
- But now he could be there for you, he promised he would take care of it. At first you protested, not wanting to drag him into this whole mess, more then he already was. Let alone have him hear what your ex had to say about you. Maybe you were afraid but who wouldn't be? What if your ex would threaten Amir or brought up things from your past relationship? Insecurities, fights that never ended well or just something that would make him see you in a different light? You couldn't stand the thought of loosing him
- But Amir didn't back down and after five whole minutes of staring at each other you gave in. "Promise me that, you won't hate me after you hear what they have to say about me." "I promise, even if I could never hate you. Now wait here for me, maybe get some tea for your nerves?" You nodded, watching him leave the room, hoping he would be back soon
- The second Amir got hold of your ex he tried to be polite, explaining that you had a boyfriend now and that you didn't want to hear or see them again. But of course they didn't believe it and went on a rant about you.
- Complaining about how you would take up space (having some hobbies that required some room, which you always made sure to clean up afterwards, maybe forgetting it once or twice) how you would complain about his friends (who didn't hesitate to make jokes about the two of you & one even dared to cat call you and then cried when he got a punch to the face), they would also complain about how clingy you were. They would've gone on and on about their perceived flaws of you but Amir had enough
- He was a patient man, he saw beauty in everyone he met but for once he couldn't see anything but an annoying, piece of trash that had caused you so many insecurities. And so he allowed himself to rip your ex a new, never letting them get a word in until the very end where he asked if they finally got his message and would leave you alone from now on. They agreed quickly and ended the call without another word
- Amir met you down by the couch again, tea on the table as you had pulled the blanket on top of you. Hiding you from the rest of the world until Amir gently pulled it down to reveal your beautiful face
- "Eshgam, look at me" his hand cupped your face not allowing you to turn away from him as he spoke. "I do not care what that disgusting, pig of an ex has said about you. They're clearly just jealous of your endless beauty, of the talent you hold and of all the hard work you've done." A kiss to the forehead was what finally broke you down into a giggling, slightly teary eyed mess as you pulled Amir into your arms. You two spent the rest of the day in each others arms, no more notification or call sounds, just Amirs sweet words.
💨❄ Hector ❄💨
- It was on one of your date nights, Hector was recovering from his outing with you and a few of the non-attic objects who had drained his social battery quiet quickly. But you both still saw it as a huge success in his ever growing self-esteem journey, he didn't even stutter this time when Betty called him a Sweetheart
- The only thing that had slightly bothered him was your phone that was constantly vibrating with messages that he could just tell were starting to grind on your nerves through out your outing. He didn't watch you lovingly from afar for so long without picking up at least some of your body language but even then, he had never seen you this frustrated? Stressed, Angry, Overwhelmed? All of the above? He wasn't sure what it was but it wasn't anything pleasant
- He was worried and suggested you go back to the attic, secretly hoping that the reception wouldn't be that good up there, which could've granted you some peace from whoever was trying to contact you. Sadly that didn't work and the barrage of messages just kept on going and going, your body continued to tense with each new 'bzz bzz' sound that filled the room
- It took another hour of your phone vibrating before he decided to get a quick peak at it while you were grabbing some more snacks from the Kitchen. Normally he wouldn't do it or at least ask you first but he just couldn't help himself this time, especially after seeing another notification bubble popped up of someone sending you a suggestively flirty message
- He wanted to read only a few message, really but they just kept on coming and coming. In the end his curiosity and worries won and he scrolled up, reading through some of the messages but quickly deciding to skim through most of them. Your ex was already getting on Hectors nerves for how they stressed you but now after reading what they sent? Oh, he was livid from all the insults & complaints that were thrown at you only to change the tune of the music not a minute later and ask for a "favor" or flirt with you, half-way through did Hector realize two things. One, this was clearly the shitty ex that you had vented to about after an outing at Beverly's which made him almost beg you to realize him just so he could go and beat their ass and second. You were standing in the attic door staring right at him
- He stuttered through an apology, explaining why he took your phone and looked through the messages from your ex and only your ex no one else. It still ended up with him getting a bag of chips thrown in his face and a light scolding but you couldn't be fully mad at him, seeing as you were weak to his puppy eyes...Also his apology kisses that were reserved only for you
- You two decided to rant about your ex, Hector mostly just listened to you, enjoying the sound of your voice even when you were pissed. What he didn't take into account was that after your ex saw that the messages were read that they would start typing even faster somehow. At that point Hector just decided to muted them for both of your sake´s and so that he could hear you better without any annoying buzzing sound.
- He held you close as you explained how the relationship between you and your ex had started out great, you two were happy, barely any fights and at one point you were sure that they were the one but then they started to loose interest in you
- At first you didn't notice anything and believed them when they said that life was simply a bit hectic, you too had days were you just wanted to fall onto a bed and scream your soul out before sleeping for a whole week. But then he would ghost you for weeks on end, no phone call or message, just absolute silence on their part. And when you did finally meet up with them again, they would just complain about you and how you were never there for them even though you tried. Only to be brushed off, again and again and then came the fights, followed by insult which turned into screaming matched where they confessed at last that they hated you. You remember walking out on them, ignoring their cries for you to come back and their empty apology's
- Hector was fuming as he held your hand, gently stroking it as he asked if he could have a word with your ex. It was clear to see that he was ready to set your ex straight and who were you to deny it?
- And that was how you had the pleasure of leaning against his shoulder and seeing him type away on your phone, you had to confess that seeing Hector this angry and protective was something you would love to see again
- It took 10 whole minutes before he sent his first message and more followed soon, your ex tried to talk his way out but got corned until they could only insult Hector for his "poor choice" in a partner and blocked you at last
- "Poor choice?! Who does he think he is to call you such a thing, maybe he should look into a mirror before saying such nonsense. You're like the best choice anyone could make, they should've been more grateful that you even spent your precious time on them!" He let out a sigh, turning to you. "But...I guess, I am happy they broke up with you. N-Not because you deserved it or because you were bad! No,no it's because I was allowed to get to know you better and be your partner! I swear it's not beca-"
- Normally you loved to hear him ramble on and on but right now all you wanted to do was kiss him and so you did. You pulled him down and kissed him until he ran out of breath and collapsed on the ground with a big goofy grin and eyes full of love as he slurred out a soft "I love you so much~"
⚡ Eddie & Volt ⚡
- Eddie was a bit worried after he saw you run out of the bar without saying a word, your eyes were laser focused on the screen of your phone, mumbling something he couldn't hear over Johnny's performance. He brought it up to Volt who didn't think much about it at first, he reassured Eddie that it might've been just a family member texting you or some other important call that you needed to take. But that didn't ease him, he just knew that something was wrong which only intensified when after they had closed the Breaker Box you still hadn't shown up. Not even for a quick goodnight kiss like you usually do, at one point they even tried to ask Dorian but he wasn't there in his usual spot, so Volt decided to go out and look for you
- Eddie wanted to come with him but Volt argued that someone needed to stay behind in case you came back to the bar and needed them. "Fine, I will stay here but when you find them bring them back here" "Of course"
- Volt started with the Bedroom where Betty was talking with Dirk who both assured him that you hadn't been in here since the morning. Able suggested checking out the Office, he was sure he heard you walking around in there not long ago, so with a quick 'thank you' Volt left. His own worries grew which didn't really help him when he saw you pacing around in the Office. Hand gripping tightly onto your other arm as you stared at your phone. He could clearly see the fear reflected in them as they flickered from window to window, almost as if to study which one would be the best escape route if you needed to leave run and couldn't go through the door
- He hated seeing you like this, driven by his need to comfort you he moved. His hand was raised above your shoulder, mere centimeters away from making contact but before he could you flinched away from him. Eyes widened as you turned to face him directly, it reminded him of a cornered animal, scared and yet ready to fight for its life
- Once you realized that it was just one of your boys you calmed down a bit, without hesitation you threw yourself towards him. To which he gladly caught you, wrapping his arms around you, one resting on your back and the other on your back, he wanted to ask what had happened, why you had run out of the bar and if you were ok but first he had to get you back to Eddie
- When Eddie heard the door open he walked (sprinted) towards the two of you, trying to play it off cool but you two could easily see the worry that was crawling under his skin. He hissed as he saw the indents on your arms, some nails had dug deeper then expected and without your notice had covered some of your arm in (now) dried blood. He quickly waved you over to the bar where he got started on taking care of your injuries while Volt sat besides you and asked what he had happened that made you pace like a tiger in a zoo
- You stayed quiet for a while, thinking about how to say it without causing both of your Boyfriends to go on a war path and cause a major blackout in your neighborhood (mainly because you didn't want either of them hurt.) Eddie waited patiently, caressing the back of your hand with his own as Volt assured you that they were here for you, no matter what
- With a sigh you started to explain what had happened, they knew a little about your ex thanks to a few late night ranting sessions. So they already knew they were an ass, you even had to stop them a few times from going out and electrocute them in their own home, though the sentiment while extreme was sweet. But you rather not be connected to a murder while stuck in work limbo
- It had started with them calling and texting you again whenever they could, asking (more like begging) you to give them a second chance, to take them back and even when you revealed that you're happily taken they wouldn't stop ("I could be your third!" "First of all, you would be our fourth and second no.")
- They had stopped for a few weeks, not thinking much about it you continued on with your life as usual but then the messages came again. But this time it wasn't them asking to get you back. Oh, no they threatened to come over and 'claim' you, since they believed that you two still belonged together and that your boyfriends weren't real
- It also didn't help that they knew where you were currently living, seeing as it's the same place you had when you two were still a thing. Even your own threats of calling the police or siccing your boyfriends at them didn't deterred them a bit, instead that was when the pictures started to come. At first it was random landscapes, buildings and those love quotes that could be found on Pinterest but slowly those pictures started to look familiar and the night at the Breaker Box they had sent you a picture of an old Cafe you two went to all the time, the caption read "soon :)"
- In that moment you just had to move and make sure every window and door was locked. You even asked Windowly, Curt & Rod and Dorian to keep an eye out for your ex and alarm you if they spotted them. Dorian assured you that he wouldn't let them get past him but seeing that you were still on edge he offered the basement as an emergency hide away
- You gladly accepted the offer and started to move a few things like a blanket, a book or two and a LED Candle (given to you by Jerry) into the basement. You were just pushing the curtains closed when another picture was sent to you, it was your ex smiling with the caption "only an hour away, see you soon <3"
- It was a few minutes after that when Volt had found you pacing and brought you back to the Breaker Box, which helped you a lot to not fall into a panic attack if you're honest
- Eddie was livid to say the least, not at you of course but at your ex and what action they took to torment you because of some sick delusion they had. One look at Volt told him that his partner felt the same, he could see the back of his neck and hands skin turn a light electric blue color. His hair started to spark as his smile turned strained
- They glanced every now and then at your phone that you had laid on the bar table, shining bright with each nee message and picture while they had started their current mission. Mission 'make your partner feel loved and safe before we have to go down and beat someones ass.'
- You three joked about, Eddie even went so far as to say he would try not to leave any blood behind since it was probably a pain to clean. Volt suggested that they could rope Johnny in and have him sing to your ex for hours on end until they begged to be let go ("So you finally admit that, Johnny is a bad singer, does that mean we can ban him from the stage? "No, Eddie dearest. He just...Needs more practice, y'know?" "...Is this because you also suck at singing?" "Live wire?! Why must you betray me?!" "Because it's true, you suck at singing" "Eddie?!)
- The laughter and cozy atmosphere that had grown around you three was interrupted by a few loud bangs against the entrance door. A familiar voice was calling your name, asking you to come out or else he would have to come in and neither of you wanted to make a scene surely
- Eddie told you two to wait here, he would deal with them.. Volt was ready to follow but stopped when he felt a light tug at his jacket, you were clinging to one of his sleeves and looking at him. "Stay here...Please." He glanced at the door that closed behind Eddie before sitting back down and pulling you onto his lap "Of course, Live Wire" he just hoped Eddie would be fine
- As Eddie got closer he could hear the knocking get softer, the voice of your ex was a mix between excitement, deranged and anger? It was hard to pinpoint really, even Dorian seemed unnerved with your ex and how they were acting which wasn't an easy feat to achieve
- Taking a deep breath he opened the door, giving your ex his best 'I will kill you if you even say one wrong word' face, which had helped him often with more rowdy customers at the bar. Sadly it seemed to have no effect on your ex who simply froze in confusion for a bit before turning all his anger towards him, great
- Most of the things he threw at Eddie, the other had heard so many times he stopped counting. Which of course only agitated your ex even more. Some threats where thrown into the mix, accusations of you hiring Eddie to be your "fake boyfriend" and for some reason asking Eddie if he knew who they were, as if he cared who they were besides his partners shitty ex who seemed to have finally lost it
- "Are you done talking non-sense or do you need a few more minutes to finish your tantrum? They're their own person not some object you can own, they are in a happy relationship with me and our other partner, they dont want you back. Especially since you never treated them right, you really should be more thankful that I don't engrave your teeth into the floor board and let you bleed out in a random alley way"
- Eddie had to dodge a swing as your ex started to lash out, arms swinging wildly. Growing more and more pissed when none of their hits would land until they decided to simply jump Eddie or at least they tried to. Before they could even reach their target, Volt had grabbed them by the back of their neck making them choke a bit and turn their glare towards him. Who simply let a light electric current pass through his arm into your ex as a warning
- His forced grin showed off his sharp fangs, that seemed a bit too long to be for a regular human. His eyes practically glowed as audible crackling noises could be heard, leaning closer he whispered something into your ex's ear which made them curl into themself, shaking their head and running away not soon after Volt had thrown him out (they only looked back a few times at the duo that stood at the door, staring right at him, like two predators just waiting for their prey to slip up)
- After they were sure your ex was gone and wouldn't return they walked back to the bar where you were sipping a drink with Volt's jacket thrown across your shoulders. You got a quick kiss from.both of them on each of your cheeks as one of them proposed to take a nap together and having the Breaker Box closed for today. While you three could have another rant night And maybe lovingly, bully Eddie into getting more then three hours of sleep
(Realized!Amir, Chance, Hanks, Hector, Mac, Parker, and Skips)
Summary: A compilation of headcanons on the various (realized) dateables’ reaction to you all bumping into your ex while out with each other
Warnings: Mentions of physical fighting (doesn’t actually happen) and some insecurities coming up for some of the characters. This is sort of meant to be that you have a shitty ex and making you uncomfortable by flirting with you. Realization spoilers. Gender neutral reader (ie no gender, anatomy, or gender specific pronouns used). Ex’s gender is also ambiguous.
I’ll shut up now. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to request.
Wow. This was sure as hell awkward.
Not only were you bumping into one of your ex who you hadn’t seen in literal years and genuinely thought that you were never going to see them ever again, you were out on a date with your partner
Amir
See, Amir is a polite man. He never actually holds any malice towards anyone, let alone a stranger, which your ex technically is to him
It honestly depends on who your ex is and what you’ve told him about them. That’s how he makes a good portion of his judgment in this moment.
If there’s no hard feelings and things didn’t end badly, then Amir is very friendly. Says hello, introduces himself, maybe talk for a bit. No malice or anything.
Oh but if you’ve shared some information about them that lets them know that they weren’t a good lover and didn’t treat you right then he’s gonna be a little sassy and cold toward them
He keeps up the civil and friendly spirit, but it’s vert clear to you by how he’s acting that he’s acting
“Ah yes, my dear Azizam has told me about you and the history between the two of you.” He sounds so civil but you can hear him gritting his teeth
Any time your ex tries to ask about how you’re doing and trying to flirt with you, Amir honestly talks for you the whole time with a possessive arm over you.
“Yes yes. They’ve been doing quite well. I keep them good company and make sure they are happy.”
If they try to flirt with you
“They do look divine today, yes. I’m very fortunate to have them be mine.”
Amir tries his best to get conversation over as quick as possible and get moving as far away from them as possible
He will apologize for his “poor behavior”
“I’m very sorry for how I acted. But knowing who they are through what you have opened up to me about and seeing them talking to you in that way as if they did not hurt you. I couldn’t help myself.”
Chance
Oh he’s so sweet. I don’t think he’d even let his own feelings get ahead of him, even if he knows that your ex was/is a piece of shit. He’d be nice and civil to them unless they were actively crossing a line after you’ve established that Chance is your boyfriend. Otherwise he just lets the two of you talk.
That is if you’re okay with talking to them. Like if it’s just casual or maybe even a little bit of awkward then it’s fine. But if you’re clearly uncomfortable or don’t want to be talking to them the Chance will gladly step in, in a way that’s very simple and doesn’t cause a problem
“Hey. It’s interesting meeting you and all, but me and them have somewhere to be and we’d hate to be late. Sorry.” before just straight up walking off with you. Maybe he adds a half assed “Bye”. And that’s a lot because I can tell that Chance is a “goodbye” guy. If he just says bye then that MEANS something
He’ll then check up on you to see if you’re okay from that interaction
I want to say more like I did for Amir but I truly do think that Chance is a very nice guy and rarely gets angry unless it’s something that actually pisses him off, otherwise he’s pretty good at keeping his cool and being civil. But he does care for you and wants to make sure that he’s there for you if anything comes up, especially something like that where you might be uncomfortable
Trust though, he does have OPINIONS about your ex and will talk about it later to lighten up the mood
“Did they really try flirting with you in front of me after to told them I was your boyfriend? How stupid. They’re lucky I’m not a hot head.”
“Asking you to coffee? Seriously? Everyone knows what that means when they say that.”
The Hanks
Oh my sweet baby boys
I think it takes them a moment to realize that this person is your ex. Like they think it’s just someone who knows you and wants to talk to you. So they just… act like they normally would
“What’s up, homie! How’s it going?”
Truth be told I think their numbers actually scare them a bit. Because like, here you are with these five guys, no context. They don’t even need to know that they’re all your boyfriend.
But they probably do find out because I can definitely see one of them opening up their big mouth and all of them confirm it excitedly
If your ex is being an ass and makes a comment about it then one of them is bound to pick it up and call them out and the rest follow suit
“Woah! Not cool, bro.” “Yeah. Not chill.”
That’s when the whole five-whole-ass-guys-who-are-your-boyfriend gets scary for them because that’s five whole dudes that might be ready to beat their ass on your behalf
You’ve got them trained though so if you tell them to calm down and just leave then they will. And they form a protective circle around you as you walk off, occasionally taunting your ex as you leave
They make sure you’re okay after too, then they all start dogged on your ex, and they hold nothing back too. They talk mad shit about them the entire time and make fun of them
Listen. The Hanks are all so sweet and nice. They’re literally like a bunch of dogs. They like everyone unless given a reason not to. But when they all collectively dislike someone then they can literally be the meanest fucking dudes possible when talking about them.
Hector
Dude if it’s awkward for you then it’s even more awkward for Hector simply because he already doesn’t like being thrown into social interactions without preparing for them. But if he’s able to pick up that this also wasn’t planned by you either then it’s even worse for him
He’s a bit of a deer in headlights for a moment until he realizes that this person is mostly focusing on you, which helps him regather himself, but soon he actually notices that you seem to not really being enjoying this interaction either
I don’t think it fully clicks in his head that this is an ex unless you or them introduce themself to him and he recognizes the name from the times you’ve talked about them to him
Hector isn’t one for confrontation, his socially anxiety would never let him have the guts to do that, not unless something has really REALLY gotten on his nerves and has been stewing for a WHILE that he might ever blow his lid. And even then he would probably shrink into himself and be deathly nervous and embarrassed afterwards. So I don’t think Hector would go in and start something with your ex if they’re flirting or anything like that. I think he’d actually freeze up and have some insecurities eat at him a bit. So you might actually have to be the one to pull you two out of the interaction.
Sometimes, maybe, if it can find him, Hector might do what Chance does and blurts out that you two should really get going and drag you along and away from your ex. Then apologize to you for doing that, what exactly is he apologizing for? Not too sure. I think he thinks that HE was the one that stepped out of line when in reality he’s fine
It’s not until you’re away from the situation that Hector is able to properly vocalize and express how he feels about your ex and that moment
He’s not upset at you, he makes sure that you know that and shuts you down if you try to apologize, insisting that you did nothing wrong
“They forced you into that uncomfortable interaction.”
God I hate to say it but he can be hot when he’s mad. He can never EVER be truly mad at you to the point that his anger is truly pointed at you. But seeing and hearing him get angry at the audacity of your ex is so sexy
“How dare they talk to you like that when you so politely and elegantly told them that I was your lover. As if I wasn’t standing right there! With you! Are they blind, or are they just that outrageous and prideful that they think that you’d just fall into their arms? As if you were… easy.”
Then he apologizes for that and asks if you’re okay
Hector my sweet husband
Mac
I firmly believe that once Mac gauges that this person is your ex and that they remember all the things that you’ve told them about them, Mac proceeds to brag to them and just bury them in all their achievements and how established they are and are clearly the “optimal” partner for you
Not outright, it’s that subtle type where they sort of bait them into conversation with topics that they can clearly one up them in.
“Oh you got a promotion recently? That’s nice. Me? Oh I work with tech and do some freelance programming, and I’ve got some investments here and there.” And then just drops the actual number of how much they make on average (I love the idea of Mac just getting rich and playing sugar parent okay sue me. I’m not a gold digger. I just like the idea of getting spoiled)
It would be even better if you guys are at a mall on a shopping spree just to prove that Mac’s got money to spend on you
But yeah Mac just keeps making your ex look like a broke ass scrub doesn’t stop till they fuck off in defeat or you tell them to stop
If they’re cool then it’s fine. Then Mac is just as cool and casual. But if they know that your ex is a douche/bitch then they make it their mission to just stamp them into the ground. Just for fun, and for you, but also because they think it’s fun. They can actually get really mean.
I actually think that they cyber stalked the ex. Just to see what they’re doing now and laugh at any misfortune that befell them
Mac can actually use their tech savvy-ness for evil. EVIL I tell you
But yeah Mac will gladly be a smug little shit and just make your ex feel so bad about themselves if they feel like it
Parker
I actually can’t think of how Parker would react to this situation because I think he’d still be so friendly to them regardless, in like… a clueless way
I don’t this Parker would clock that your ex is trying to flirt with you or anything like that because the “Ooh new person” part of his brain is going off and it just overrides any tone indicators
He’s just like “Oh hi! :D” and when you’re mention that he’s your boyfriend he just nods with a smile like “Yup. Nice to meet you!”
If anything he just makes it a little more awkward because of the fact that he’s just not getting it but it also repeals some things because like…
Imagine that you’re the ex in this situation. You’re trying to flirt with your ex to either win them back despite their new partner being right there, or you’re trying to make their new partner insecure, or both. But the guy’s still just smiling. No reaction. Nothing.
I also hc that Parker is actually a pretty tall dude too. So like, this guy is probably taller than you, but you are getting 0 reaction and he’s just staring at you nodding along and talking. That’s awkward as fuck and like you probably don’t want to push anything any further because what happens if he finally notices what your doing and his reaction is to get angry and quite possibly beat your ass? He becomes an umpire in his realization ending, unless I’m thinking of someone else’s, which means that he probably plays baseball. So even if he’s a bean stalk, he’s probably strong as fuck with his arms.
So god forbid he starts swinging on you. LIKE???
Of course Parker wouldn’t actually do that, but like, if he wanted to he could. So thank god most of his brain is rules and puppy boy hardware because if he wanted to fight, he could probably hold up fine, maybe even win.
So your ex might just leave. And Parker, bless his soul, will be like “They were weird :/” and then move on with you
I think you might actually have to mention that they were flirting with you and explain why for him to be like “Oooh… Well then screw them. >:(”
Skips
Skips is actually super chill unless it’s clear that they are flirting with you
If it’s just like casually bumping into them and your ex is also chill then he will literally just be like “Sup’. Name’s Skips.”
But if your ex is flirting with you then Skips starts to get a little defensive and possessive. Not necessarily causing a scene or anything but you know how he can get. So he’ll wrap and arm around you like your shoulder or your waist and sort of back out of the conversation and get you out of it too. You know?
“Oh, yeah, cool. Huh.” As he’s trying to shuffle away with you and hope that they don’t notice so that the conversation ending seems like their idea
He might get a little bit insecure since he has attachment issues and doesn’t want to be alone or especially lose you. So yeah he might try and ask about it, how you feel about your ex, all that
Please assure him that whatever you have with your ex is completely in the past and gone, that you’re with him now, and that he’s enough for you.
And maybe give him a kiss on the cheek to seal the deal
He might even make some jokes about your ex too. Just let him. It helps shake off any remaining concern he has.
