@optimst : ❛ this is probably a terrible idea. ❜

"when did that ever stop us?" erin asked, a playful grin dancing across her face, eyebrows lifting slightly as if to not take no for an answer –– which she wouldn't. sure, maybe this would end in a disaster, but that wasn't going to be known unless they actually embarked on this so called adventure. "but the fact is, they said they were going to the cabin for the weekend, and we could join them if we wanted. so let's go. what had we really got to lose?"

the  upsides  of  having  a  roommate  who  can  cook  &  bake  ?  there  are  plenty.  but  the  downside  of  it  ?  @optimst​  is  a  chronic  stress  baker  &  cook.  one  that  bakes  up  a  storm  &  leaves  the  house  with  an  abundance  of  baked  goods.  &  there’s  only  so  few  of  them  in  the  house.  but  it’s  always  a  good  indicator  of  where  izzie  is  at  mentally  ,  so  at  least  meredith  knows  something  is  up  whenever  she  finds  a  multitude  of  muffins.  ❛  perhaps  ,  ❜  meredith  starts  as  she  stands  in  the  entry  way  of  the  kitchen  ,  ❛  we  should  take  some  of  these  to  work.  there’s  no  way  we  can  finish  all  of  these.  ❜  [  don’t  worry  --  meredith  plans  on  asking  izzie  what’s  up  !  she’s  not  that  emotionally constipated  ,  she  just  has  to  play  her  cards  right.  ]

@optimst sent ? and got "i'm not crying"

"i'm not!" alex said, wiping at his eyes. the last time he had cried like this in front of izzy was when he had to say goodbye to ava, and that was years ago now. yeah, him and izzy were closer now but it was still embarrassing. all his life alex was told to be a man and toughen up, and this was the exact opposite of that. he took a few deep breaths and waited for his heart rate to go back to normal. he wouldn't say it aloud any time soon, but izzy sitting next to him helped him feel better too. "okay, okay, i'm done," he said, wiping at his cheeks to make sure he had stopped crying.

HER   FACE   IS   THE   LAST   ONE   DENNY   EXPECTED   TO   SEE   IN   HIS   BAR   TONIGHT.         they’re   near   closing   time;         a   few   regular   patrons   still   scattered   around,      nursing   𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚝   𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜   while   he   sets   about   cleaning   tables      /      collecting   glasses.         when   the   bell   above   the   door   rings   to   alert   them   of   a   new   customer,      he’s   already   got   a      sorry,      we’re   shutting   shop   early   tonight      on   the   tip   of   his   tongue,      but   then   he   sees   who   it   is.            ―            isobel   stevens   and   no.         the   the   barrelhouse   is   never   closed   to   her.               ＂            shit.         i   think   i   might’a   just   died      &      𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞   𝐭𝐨   𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧   because   there   is   a   goddamn   ANGEL   standing   in   front   of   me.         ＂                  the   smile   that   bursts   onto   features   is   just   for   her,      never   shining   quite   as   bright   as   it   does   in   izzie’s   presence         .   .   .         even   after   all   this   time   apart.               ＂            good   thing   there’s   a   doctor   in   the   building.         i   might   need   it.         ＂   

damn.            ―            how   long   has   it   been   now?         too   long,      his   mind   quickly   concludes.         there   was   a   time   when   the   pair   had   been   𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎,      until   life   took   them   both   in   different   directions.         𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭   𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧,      𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠   𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞,         all   those   terrible   cliches   that   denny   sometimes   finds   himself   regretting   falling   victim   to   whenever   he   hears   a   song   that   reminds   him   of   her,      or   passes   a   restaurant   they   used   to   go   to.         hearing   a   joke   from   his   nephew      &      thinking   hey,      izzie   would   like   that   one.         throat   clears,      eyes   blinking   himself   away   from   nostalgia,      back   to   reality   as   he   takes   a   step   closer.         it’s   an   almost   BASHFUL   movement,      though   smile   never   falters.                  ＂         so         .   .   .         all   the   bars   in   all   of   seattle,         what   brings   you   to   mine?         ＂
