it was one of those weird, rare circumstances where they both had a few days off together and weren’t in a foreign country. mavis had almost forgotten what it was like to be home with her wife without an impending trip hanging over their heads. “we should go on a walk,” she decided, despite the fact she hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet. there was a large fluffy pup at the end of the bed trapping her feet. “or just do something in general.”

“c’mon, babe. it’s not that deep. it’s one date.” it wasn’t necessarily that mavis wanted to go on the date but she also couldn’t come up with an excuse not to. she wasn’t necessarily the ‘dating’ type however she’d put off her friend’s prodding time and time again. perhaps if she said yes this time, she’d be left alone. it was only a shame her current partner didn’t seem to see it that way.

mavis felt frazzled, for lack of a better term. she’d had meetings all morning and had woken up late, meaning she hadn’t brought any lunch with her to work. it was close to 2pm before she was first able to step out of her office and when she did, she ran towards the nearest coffee shop. she wasn’t the kind of boss that had those beneath her run out to do simple tasks like retrieving her macchiato and truthfully she needed an excuse to leave the building.  when she stepped back into the office she felt far more level and as she headed for the reception area she intended to stop to offer her receptionist a proper greeting since she’d completely ignored him that morning. however, it was the presence of another person that had her stopping in her tracks. “theo?” a rather surprised laugh bubbled up past her lips and she had to blink hard to make sure that she wasn’t seeing things. “what are you doing here?”

open to f/m/nb — based on: i just realized i’ve liked you for years and i really wish i didn’t but i dO and everyone somehow knows about it except for you oh my god why is this happening to me (info for mavis at /tests. or in the source.)

the closest way to describe it was a bit like a schoolgirl crush, except mavis was almost 30 and didn’t get crushes. no, she just realised that after years of friendship she’d developed a bit of a thing for them and suddenly didn’t know how to act whenever they were in the same room as her. she’d been doing pretty well with it too, managing to avoid spending any time with them that involved the two of them being alone and making up excuses as to why they couldn’t meet up for coffee or anything of the sort. she should’ve known that they’d eventually corner her, waiting until they were at a mutual friend’s engagement party to do so. “ignoring you?” she spluttered, shaking her head in vehement denial. “i’m not! i’ve just been  — busy?”

a closed starter for @ofconflations​ featuring mavis and ramona.

this wasn’t the first time ramona had mentioned kids, mavis remembered it because each time the topic came up her stomach plummeted about thirty feet below sea level. normally it wasn’t too difficult to skirt around it but she should’ve known there would come a day where it was unavoidable. they’d have to talk about it. that day was today. a mutual friend had just had a baby a couple of weeks ago and after they’d visited her that morning, she could almost tell that it was going to be brought up. “mona, i really have to do this thing for work...” she grabbed her phone from her pocket, waving it around like some sort of shield to deflect the topic.

mavis was typically a little reserved when it came to meeting new people: not that she wasn’t good at it — she was excellent, in fact. meeting her girlfriend’s family had been rather anxiety inducing, however. it had turned out that she’d had nothing to worry about and managed to get on surprisingly well with her younger sister. well enough that here they were going out for coffee together as if it was the most natural thing in the world. she was really just trying to build some good relationships, finally putting an effort into something that wasn’t the aesthetic of her home or todd. swirling the remnants of her cappuccino around in her mug, she quirked her eyebrows up  — “nope, no way. i don’t want to hear anymore theories, my head is going to explode.”

“sure i could stay but there's a place i'd rather be.” somehow, she doesn’t even flinch in delivering a line that might be like a punch to the gut.

a closed starter for @mctionsick​ based sort of off this post featuring mavis.

“i don’t smoke. you didn’t see anything.” she stubs the cigarette out before they can even say anything, crushing it beneath her shoe as if that was going to make it disappear. unsurprisingly, it’s still there when she lifts her foot and while she wouldn’t typically leave trash lying around the ground, it is her house they’re outside of. mavis isn’t so inclined to make a cross-country trip for just anyone however there are a few people in her life she can’t say no to, her best friend being one of them even when she suggests that her sibling tags along. “do you want to take the first shift or will i?” she asks, swirling the keys to her car around her finger. it’s not quite a standard greeting but they do already know one another, she doesn’t have to pretend to be pleasant.
