this man. such a sweetheart
hes a little quiet and a little like nonchalant and shit but deep down he does rlly care
'you are everything to him' type shit
hes the guy to wrap you in a solid hug and just hold you in silence in order to ground you, yknow?
hes a man of few words a lot of the time
but hes not like fourthgrade quiet, when he speaks he makes it meaningful
fg is more 'idk what to say so im not gonna say anything' and ray is the 'I dont see a point in talking but when I do, I'll have you stay up late thinking ab it' yknow??
like sometimes he says the wisest shit like hes a dying grandpa and have you laying in bed later thinking about it nonstop
you often zone out when he talks cause his voice is just rlly soothing and he speaks so attractively
he knows. and he teases you here and there.
hes rlly protective of you, whether you've proven yourself able to protect yourself or not
this man doesnt take chances
especially w fuckshit in the thick of the drama and drugs
you dont have deep problems w fuckshit, hes just a complete dick sometimes
and ray isn't letting his best friend pick on his partner, ain't no way
if need be, he breaks out the humble eight line (real ones know ☝️) cause it pisses fuckshit off
hes not jealous of you being around fuckshit (or even fourthgrade) alone, hes sometimes a little concerned knowing his friends are dumb asf sometimes
he doesnt want them pressuring you into doing dumb shit like shoplifting or anything
otherwise he really dgaf
very passionate ab music
I feel fg is the most passionate ab music, but ray is just behind him
lovesssss showing you music you've never heard of before, esp if you're not super into the rap / hiphop scene / just didn't grow up w the same shit as him
and he loves like every song you make him listen to
not even just to be a supportive boyfriend, he genuinely loves your music taste, even if he doesnt seem like the type to listen to certain generes
trust if he was a teen in modern day, he'd be ALL OVER tyler the creator... HEAR ME OUTTTTT
big fan of experimental kinda music / music / albums with stories
he bumps the same 5 songs for a week cause hes the type to get obsessed w a certain handful of songs and won't be able to put them down
he a cutie tho
not a big fan of gift giving, whether it be giving or receiving
hes better with physical affection and words of affirmation
that doesnt mean he doesnt get you gifts tho
he finds physical and mental affection to be more intimate and he doesn't wanna make you feel overwhelmed with gift giving or make you feel like hes trying to buy your love
he'd rather spend a nice evening with you than worry ab overstimulating you with birthday / christmas gifts
like let's go see a movie and get food, cause he knows its a better pick for both of you
he stresses out over what to get ppl so win win yk?
lovesss taking pictures of you and stealing fgs camcorder to record you
he has polaroids of you hung all over his walls
no matter where he turns in bed, there's a picture of you staring back at him
its kinda cute
he loves sharing belts with you...
you teach each other tricks on your boards / make up dumb, nonexistent tricks to fuck around
he gives you so many stickers for your board
and usually fixes it up for free for you
he loves when you fuck around with his locs, especially when they're old and need redone
the scalp scratches >>>
he loves seeing you flip through magazines showcasing afrocentric hair (especially if you dont have afrocentric hair / aren't African American) answers point out all the cool hairstyles
you suggest hairstyles to him all the time
but hes a simple man and usually sticks with his locs, but you'll love him any way
if you have super thick / curly hair, yk damn well hes doing a curly routine for you while you half sleep in the bathroom be so for real
if you are AA and have longer hair / get longer hairstyles... yk he loves putting gold / silver accessories in like hair rings and hair clips etc etc
if you get shorter hairstyles, he always talks about seeing you with different hair colors / you should get some hair dye cause he lowkey wants to match with you
if you aren't AA / dont have afrocentric hair, he will spend all day teaching you about his hair and about c type hair
when it comes to your hair, he lovessss running his hair through it if you have thinner / not super thick curly hair
he loves teaching people shit yk
especially when hes high
hell sit there running his hands through your hair and yap about hairstyle origins and stuff and its so cool
(I did a little research for this bit so im sorry if this wrong / offensive, lmk if I need to change anything cause I will!! just trying to be more inclusive here, plus being in cosmo school kinda sucks cause I wish I got to work with curly / thicker hair more 💔 let me yap im sorry)
Maybe Mid90s with r who has an ed or some other mental health issues? Maybe insomnia or self-esteem issues
Feel free to ignore if it makes u uncomfy. I read your rules and it didn't say anything about ed and stuff
ouuuu okay I can definitely do this!! and no worries, im fine w writing about ed / mental health issues, considering its shit ive struggled w before and reading content where it exists kinda helps lol ; ty for requesting, hope you enjoy!!

warnings ; language, eating disorders, self esteem issues (each has a different thing), weed
masterlist
FUCKSHIT
eating disorder
lowkey doesnt rlly know how to help
hes just going off instinct
always asking if youve eaten / how much
and he doesnt fall for that fake eating bullshit (think that one cassie and sid scene in skins where cassie shows how she "eats dinner")
he understands that he cant fix you
but that isn't gonna stop him from helping you (trying)
even if he sucks at showing it, he loves you
he knows he can only do so much but hes doing whatever he can to help
its the little things
he brings you comfort snacks to hang outs and reassures you that you dont have to eat, but if you feel hungry, eat
he carries a sharpie at all times to cross out nutrition values and calorie shit on the back of products
RAY
self esteem issues
he feels so bad because why is such a gorgeous person so unhappy with themselves?
he gets it tho, he lowk has some self esteem issues of his own
but hes doing the best he can
words of affirmation suddenly skyrocket and its his main love language
hes such a sweetheart :(
regularly calls you when youre apsrt to check on you
gives you notes every day to hype you up a bit
always gives a little "i love you" before separating and makes sure you heard, he will repeat himself a million times
never ever ever leaves you out of group hangouts and frequently hangs out with you alone as well
pillow talk ❤️🩹 just rambles about memories and blabs about how much he loves you
FOURTHGRADE
insomnia
that man doesn't sleep either 😔 /hj
if hes without weed, hes without sleep man
he'll lay with you in hopes to relax you to sleep, and/or scratch your scalp or talk you to sleep
even if it doesnt work, he won't give it up
if he cant sleep with you, hes on the phone running up both of your bills
if he cant do that, hes made you cassette tapes for you to listen to at night, just him rambling and shit
he gives you a hoodie that reeks of him every week for you to cuddle or wear when you try to sleep
frequently begs you to get stoned with him to see if it'll help since it helps him
he loves napping with you but he gets so sad when he realizes you're never asleep when he is
convinced that with enough cuddles, he can fix you
RUBEN
depression
he sucks with feelings since he pushes everything back and kinda isolates himself
he platonically loves you so he does try helping, even if hes being a dick, but hes not trying to be
makes stupid jokes 24/7 just to make you laugh and smile
steals a hamster from a pet store for you
hamster = emotional support animal
listens to you ramble and cry whenever you need it, and apologizes when he gives you the resting bitch face
gives the best hugs, almost desperate in a way cause he lacks physical affection and let's be honest, you both need a hug
lowkey urges you to get medication if youre medically diagnosed
not to abuse the drugs, but to actually help you
bro even gets the older teens to help out when youre starting meds cause the way antidepressants fuck you up is mad
STEVIE
anxiety
hes very quiet and reserved, honestly I feel like hes got some social anxiety, just my opinion tho
so in a way, he understands
like his stomach twists when teachers go around the class for answers, he hates when people sit behind him, he hates being in new places
he tries his best to ease you away from straight panic like holding onto your hand really tight or instructing you to breathe
he pushes you out of your comfort zone a little bit like exposure therapy
lots of words of affirmation after you do something you're not used to
bro rewards you in stolen snacks from the gas station
Mid90s gang reacting to reader writing a book about them and their friendship and reader wins a writing contest!!

FUCKSHIT
you were no writer what-so-fucking-ever
while high, he dared you to enter some writing contest for school
"how funny would it be if some random junior won?"
honestly it would be funny, considering you're not a writer, you're a skater
you entered just for the fun of it, plus you had a great chance at beating some of the other contestants because you knew their writing was shit
you didn't even know what to write for the first two weeks
then it popped up in your head, like holy shit it was so obvious
you decided to write about yours and fuckshits long friendship history
from how you met, to your nicknames and to your other friends
let's just say, other than the profanity, the judges/senior english teachers loved it
you wrote like a whole motherfucking novel too
you got second place, considering they'd be in trouble for awarding a book with so much inappropriate content with first
plus the person who won first definitely deserved it
teachers were literally suggesting you publish the fuckin thing too like calm down ⁉️⁉️
fuckshit was too lazy to read it at first, but once you told him it was about you two and that you won second place? nah reading that was all he did
I honestly hc that he's a little dyslexic so he was struggling a little bit
but he loved it, it was genuinely moving to him and its literally about him
brought him to tears that he tried to hide
which he did to help his fragile ego by hugging you and hiding his face in your shoulder
genuinley so grateful for you
RAY
you were kinda iffy with writing
but once you saw the amount of money you could get from winning...?
shit sign me up
a thousand dollars to win first off of something you wrote? okay let's go LMAO
you didn't know what to write about because it's not like there was a given prompt so you just kinda spilled out stories and shit about you and ray
you made sure to leave out all the drugs and shit because you weren't gonna try and get in trouble LMAO honestly real
the judges loved it though
it was about 104 pages, so you made the actual like minimum, which was 80 pages
but thankfully for you, quantity doesn't equal quality
you actually got third surprisingly
that's still 400 dollars though
you didn't actually tell Ray or the others about you joining that contest so when you walked in with 400 dollars, a smile on your face and your skateboard and 52 sheets of notebook paper connected by a keyring under your arm, damn
you quickly explained and set your stuff down and Ray just scooped you up and spun you around while he hugged you
he's a simpleton but you got him giggling and shit okay??
genuinley so flustered that you wrote about you and him of all people like huh
he reads it front to back at least 3 times
FOURTHGRADE
you were pretty passionate about writing
so when your school was promoting a novel contest you knew you had to join
a thousand dollars would've done you a lot
you spent the next six months writing about you and fourthgrade, stories, how you met, favorite memories, random blurbs, etcetera
you told him about it but never that you were writing about him
you wanted it to be a surprise lmao
i also hc that he's a little dyslexic so 💀
you actually won too
apparently it was so "inspiring and moving amongst the youths" that you won ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for it, IN CASH
you sprinted over to Motorz and immediately wrapped fourthgrade in a hug
"thanks for being such great inspiration"
"huh?"
you genuinley just retold some of his camcorder tapes for a bit of the book too so you had to give him some credit
you gave him 200 dollars because he refused to take any more
the duo
RUBEN
bro couldn't care less that you joined a writing competition
"whatever you want"
you have the annoying sibling dynamic what can I say
"dude I'll give you 100 bucks if you just be supportive"
"fine"
you wrote about him and your awesome sibling relationship
you made sure to cut out all the abuse and just say "growing up in a rough household" and "growing up not as privileged as everyone else" and shit bc you weren't getting cps called on anyone
you wrote like 70 pages
you got third
but you got 200 dollars so you basically split it with him
he ended up reading it because he was bored at motorz one night and you left it laying around
he's never smiled while crying before
you come in the next morning and he just silently hugs you
you see the book thing on the couch where he slept and you just kinda knew
"why are you crying?"
"i'm not!"
STEVIE
you also have a very sibling like dynamic
although instead of annoying each other you're kind of the comfort siblings you've both never had
so when you brought up the fact you joined a writing competition because you had a good chance at winning, he was like "oh cool"
"i'm writing about you"
"what the fuck why?"
he's supportive tho
he'll ask how it's going and stuff and you'll just give a vague answer
by the time they're due and judged, he asks what you placed
you shrug and pull out a thousand dollars cash from your backpack with a smile
"holy shit!"
you smile and hand him half of it
he's confused as to why but accepts it graciously
I mean half of its about him so he deserves some credit
