Who would take pictures of the other while they’re sleeping:
Liv sits at her desk, textbook open in front of her and a mug of tea in her hands. The sun had gone down hours before and midnight passed a few minutes ago, but there was a test the next morning so Olivia decided to sleep a little later than usual to study. The hum of the heater is the only noise that’s made in the small apartment, except for the occasional yawn from Liv herself. The sound of the doors unlocking almost makes Liv fall out of her chair, but she stands to steady herself before going around the corner to the door quietly. “Heyyyy, Liv.” Gus smiles at her, leaning against the wall and lazily kicking his shoes off.
Olivia takes a look at the clock in the living room, turning back to Gus and sighing. “I have a test tomorrow, Gus, remember? I told you this morning. No distractions, right?” She holds Gus by the shoulders, trying to keep him steady and he pauses in his movements, the space between his brows creasing. She wants to be mad at him for disrupting her, but she’s not because it’s him. “You can sleep on the couch.” She says, finally, and helps him to the couch in the living room.
He sits down, a smile on his face and Liv mirrors it. She loves him so much. Gus’s skin is cold to the touch and it may have been because he was wandering around the streets for an hour, but it’s also because it’s November and they live in Massachusetts. Liv comes back to drape a blanket over his lap, patting his face and kissing his nose to avoid having to taste the alcohol on his tongue. Then she stands to go and study again but his grip on her doesn’t weaken so she looks at him expectantly. “Liv.” She nods for him to continue, her hands in his. “I’m going to marry you some day, you know? I have the entire proposal planned and stuff, and I’ve already looked at rings,” he rambles on and on, Liv can only laugh, eyes brimming with tears. He pauses. “We’re getting married, you and me.” Liv nods.
“I know.”
things you said after you kissed me;
The music is so loud, it makes the room seem as if it’s vibrating and people are screaming, drinks sloshing around and spilling on the floor. Gus refills his cup and Liv’s as well, navigating his way through the crowd and up the stairs of whoever’s house. The music muffles when he climbs out the window in the hallway, and Liv pops her head out. “Oh, it’s you,” she smiles, taking the cups off his hands so he could climb up onto the roof. She’s sipping at her drink, more than usual, already having had two more drinks than she usually does at parties like these. Still, her face twists like she’s repulsed by the taste of alcohol. The stars shine a lot brighter right now, and instead of pointing out every constellation and naming every star, Liv continues to sip at her drink. Gus stays quiet too because Liv doesn’t act like this.
“This is good. What is it?” Her voice breaks the silence, voice muffled because she’s looking down at her cup. Gus shrugs. He had just grabbed whatever hadn’t run out already and hoped for the best, not even sure it would ever touch Liv’s lips. “I can talk about stars again. Will you talk if I talk about stars again?” She sighs, nudging him gently with her shoulder. The alcohol in her breath is unfamiliar and it makes him speechless for a moment. “Alright, I’ll talk about stars then.” Olivia extends her arm to point at the sky, and she squints, coughing a little. “I don’t think I have a high tolerance level.” She turns her head to look at Gus again, a giggle bubbling up in her throat. “But in this state, I identify that star as your star, Gus.” Liv points in the same direction as before then she moves her finger a little to the right, the closest star to his. “And in this state, that star is mine.” Liv turns to look back at him again, leaning in close. “Happy?” Gus smiles a little, nodding, the fact that their stars were close did not go unnoticed by him. “You’re cute when you’re happy.”
Her eyes drop down to his lips but Gus doesn’t notice, and before her head clears, Liv leans in and presses her lips to his. The moment is brief, but Liv’s eyes fly open in a few moments of clarity. “Oh, gosh. I didn’t mean to do that.” She keeps apologizing even as she crawls away from him and towards the edge of the roof, climbing down slowly. Gus stops her just as she slips back into the house. His eyes beg her to come back up and sit with him for a few hours more, and she wants to say that she wants to kiss him again if he’d let her. When she opens her mouth, what comes out is, “I’m sorry.”
Send “Hey Sleepy Head” for my muse to have fallen asleep on your muse while watching TV
The clock on the fireplace reads at 11:47 and the moon shines in Liv’s window. Instead of being in bed, they’re on the couch, cups of tea left on the coffee table and a bowl of popcorn between the two of them. Besides the TV, there’s no other significant sound, no chatter between the two. They don’t really talk, it’s hard to talk, they much preferred filling the silence with a movie. Liv had gotten out a big blanket to throw on the top but they barely touch, sometimes her arm will brush against Gus’s but that’s all. They’re friends is the thing, but sometimes there are days when it’s more difficult to be friends and much easier to just not talk. It’s one of those days, so instead they just watch a movie. Liv is so tired, and her eyes glance at the clock every so often wondering if it was an acceptable time to announce that she was off to bed. She turns her head slightly to look at Gus, but he doesn’t look at all tired, so Liv sighs quietly and reaches for another handful of popcorn. The blonde reaches for the cup of tea, sipping some of it before leaning back on the couch. She closes her eyes, for what seems like only a moment, but when she opens them, she swears it’s another movie because she doesn’t understand anything that’s going on. Liv glances at Gus, his eyes are transfixed to the TV and she wonders if he’d noticed at all she’d fallen asleep. She swallows thickly before closing her eyes again, and on the verge of unconsciousness, Liv feels a strong arm wrap around her shoulder. Her ear is pressed to Gus’s chest and she falls asleep listening to his heartbeat.
a drabble in which liv thinks about falling in love.
a/n: this was originally going to be about gus and his dimples but then it began to be about liv and falling in love so, this is my goodbye present, ella!! see you in a week ily <3
"Hiya.” Gus plops down next to her, on the grass and opens up the tupperware container with the sandwich inside. He peels the top bread off and checking the contents of his sandwich, wrinkling his nose at the sight. “Mom always gives me tuna.”
Liv laughs at that, checking her own sandwich. “Turkey, again. Wanna switch?” She asks, reaching for his lunch before he could answer. “I’m half-convinced your mom only does that because I like tuna.”
“You’re weird.” Gus tells her, and she shakes her head, taking a bite of his sandwich and turning her body so she could lean on him. He throws an arm around her and it should mean something more but it’s only Gus so it doesn’t.
They're sitting on the grass, under the large oak tree and he’s going on about his math class, Olivia changing position so she faced him. She liked being able to see his face, not in a weird, creepy way (they’re best friends, that’s her excuse, she’s allowed to say things like that).
Liv remembers cracking a joke while he was talking and he laughed, threw his head back and all, and a dimple even popped out. She wasn’t even that funny. He would act like she was.
Gus would act like Liv was a million times better than she actually was and yeah, she was his best friend but he always treated her so much better. He deserved so much more than just her as a best friend. He deserved so much and yet he settled for her. Liv forgets how lucky she is sometimes to have him in her life, lighting up her day.
“So then Annie nudges me and is like, the answer’s square root of three, and I say what she told me to say and it was right, god bless her. Mr. Hartley was still really mad but you know, he had to lay off.” Gus goes on, gesturing wildly with his hands and the only thing Liv can think is, Annie Carley’s got a crush on you, August Wakefield, and you don’t even know it.
Love has always been a tricky subject for Liv especially when Gus was added to the mix because then she’d think, If I was in love with you, would you know? And that was always a territory she rarely crossed, too dangerous for someone like her who felt things so strongly sometimes she would disregard them.
Because she could be in love with him. And he could be in love with her. It’d be easy.
That’s what’s scary sometimes. The fact that being in love with him could be so mind-numbingly easy and that he could give her everything she wanted because he was already giving her everything she wanted just without the romance, but something stopped her or him. Mostly it was that she didn’t give him enough to even be considered to be anything more than a friend. So yeah, there was the fact that she wasn’t good enough but other than that... Easy.
“Liv?” He asks, nudging her gently with his shoulder and she shakes out of her daze.
“Yeah, you were saying?” She smiles, as if she had been paying attention, and he nods his head before continuing on his ramble about math. His nose scrunches up in that way when he’s thinking or talking about stuff he doesn’t like. It’s cute. Yeah, she could be so in love with him.
Except.
Except he’s her best friend, and well— she can’t ruin that.
Who was the one to propose: I bet Blanche was actually, but probably just in a casual way, like “Hey, I think we should get married. You down?” because she’s just like that and then Penn was the one to get the ring and go down on one knee (and maybe he’d even been planning it when Blanche asked and got annoyed that it was all ruined oh nO)
Who stressed more over wedding planning: I don’t know if either of them would really stress over the wedding because they’re both really chill people?? It would probably be a really simple wedding anyway
Who decorated the house: Penn was probably all over that but, again, their house is probably decorated really simply with a few photos of them and a plant or two idk
Who is more organized: Blanche can’t organize to save her life (she’s also very messy) so that one goes to Penn
Who initiates bedroom fun: It’s probably Blanche but I bet Penn can be very persistent if he really wants to get it in lol
Who suggested kids first: Oh boy ok so I feel like Penn was all over this because Blanche can hardly take care of herself, much less think about taking care of another kid, but once he brings it up she’ll be the one continuously suggesting it because she won’t be able to stop thinking about it
Who’s more dominant: Blanche definitely likes to think she’s more dominant but, when it comes down to it, Penn always ends up taking over
Who’s the cuddler: Ok so Blanche is always pestering Penn to come and cuddle with her (as friends, of course) and he pretends to get burdened by it but he actually enjoys it more
What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: It’s the combination of partying and then going to McDonald’s after with their friends (because one is never complete without the other)
Who kills the spiders: Blanche gets a strange satisfaction out of killing bugs that annoy her, so whenever she sees one, she makes sure she kills it first
Who falls asleep first: Penn probably passes right out (though Blanche is never far behind)
Who is louder? I think Blanche is more vocal but Penn is louder when it comes down to it
Who is more experimental? Blanche definitely likes to get freaky and often asks Penn to try out things with her 8)
Do they fuck or make love? They fuck because they’re just friends and when they do make love there’s a unwritten rue that it’s best to now bring it up
Who is more likely to be caught masturbating? Probably Blanche to be honest because she’s careless and doesn’t always lock her door lol
Who comes first? I think Penn likes to wait until Blanche comes (and I think he likes to make her come multiple times) but Blanche is occasionally stubborn and wants him to come first
Who is better at oral and who prefers it? I feel like Penn gets this one because he’s better at giving oral than her and I think he always prefers it (because Blanche would rather just fuck)
Who usually initiates things? Blanche is the initiator and more often drags Penn around to do things than Penn drags Blanche around (Penn kind of just goes with the flow)
Who is more sensitive? Penn is definitely the more sensitive one (because Blanche is pretty insecure but she never likes to show it)
Who has the most patience? That would most likely be Penn because Blanche can be like a small child, who just bounces around and whines until she gets what she wants

black: how much personal space do you like?
Liv thinks for a moment, she liked being alone, she thinks, but then, “Depends on the person, if it’s Gus, then zero, if it’s anyone else, then I like most of my time for myself. I’m an introvert.”
chamomile: describe your sleep schedule
“Oh, it was better during high school, I didn’t sleep too late, one at the latest on an odd day but usually, by the time, it was eleven, I was in bed. Nowadays, with all the work I have in college, I’m up later on most nights. Still earlier than most.

fennel: how do you feel right now?
“Uhm, not too well, it’s been an inbetween week.”
ginger: what animal do you act like?
“This is an odd question, but I’d say probably a rabbit. Are they picky eaters, I feel like they are, that’s me. Most people don’t think about rabbits, same goes for me, I think. I dunno, I don’t know much about rabbits. I’m not Life Sciences, okay.”
ginseng: post a photo of somewhere you feel calm
“Oh, but, it’s my place. Just kidding, here.” Liv laughs, pulling her phone out and scrolling through her photo album until she found a picture of Gus, one that mostly caught his smile. “I’m lame. And cheesy.”

“This is difficult. Mostly wanting a better future, knowing that I’m working towards something I enjoy, and knowing that I’m making the people I love proud.”

“Oh, I like pastels, light colors and stuff, they make me feel like air. Yes, mostly pastels.”
lavender: does physical activity help you relax?
“No, it makes me feel tired.” Olivia frowns, shaking her head.
lemon: how differently do you behave when you’re by yourself versus when you’re with others?
“I’m really quiet, no matter what. But by myself, I do a lot of work but when I’m with other people I’m paying attention to conversation. I’m generally very quiet unless I’m in a cheery mood then I can be talkative.”
matcha: do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?
“Sunrises are so lovely, I like to watch them in the summer when I’m not in a rush in the morning.”
mint: what song gives you energy?
“Oh. Uhm, I really like the entire Tangled soundtrack…”
nettle: is there anything you do when you feel guilty?
“Stutter over my words, get red, I tend to lose my train of thought when I’m speaking. It’s a very bad situation, I don’t like being guilty.”
oolong: where do you see yourself in five years?
“Hopefully working as a chemical researcher in a lab… Possibly married, don’t know about kids but I hope I’m not living alone…” Liv trails off, looking away and smiling.
peppermint: are you self righteous?
“I don’t think so, the word seems pretentious, I don’t think I’m pretentious.”
rooibos: if a conversation bothers you, will you speak up about it?
“… No, I’d continue but try to end the conversation as fast as possible in the nicest way possible.”
white: do you think family is important?
“Oh, of course I do, I love my family and I’d do anything for them, they’re extremely important to me, yes. And when I have my own family, I hope they know that family is important as well.”
