Can you do “It’s too hot to hold hands.” With Ryland Grace. Please make sure he’s pouty about it cause I know he’d be such a pouter if he couldn’t hold his s/o’s hand.

prompt: (9) It's too hot to hold hands. (feel free to request a prompt + a character!)
Ryland is sweating through his shirt, much to his chagrin. He regrets choosing to wear his usual collared shirt over a simple (and much more appropriate) T-shirt, but he was hesitant to wear one of his embarrassing science pun shirts around a bunch of middle schoolers. He’s feeling the burden of it now.
“You look like you went for a swim,” you joke, bumping shoulders. Ryland groans, meandering through the zoo. He was hoping for a field trip to the (blessedly air conditioned) science museum, but his hopes were crushed in favor of the students collectively voting to go see stinking animals in the heat instead.
“I’m all about letting the kids make decisions on their own,” Ryland starts, “but maybe I should ask them to consider the weather instead of the benefits of STEM education next time.”
With a laugh, you glance across the trail. A group of Ryland’s students are currently crowded around a fence, staring up at a giraffe. You smile fondly.
“Unfortunately for you, most kids prefer to have fun instead of, you know, having science shoved in their faces,” you remind him. Even though you’re in the same field as Ryland, you never forget to mention to him that you really, really hated science class as a kid. The revelation came late in life for you.
Ryland rolls his eyes. “Yeah, yeah. Let me complain, okay?”
His hand nudges yours, pinkie reaching out. You make a face when his clammy hand makes a grab for you.
“What are you doing?” You ask, wiping your own sweaty hands off on your shorts. “It’s too hot to hold hands.”
Ryland’s expression looks positively miserable when you reject him. His lip juts out in an instant.
“What? Come on. Don’t do this to me,” he whines.
You shake your head, face twisted in mock disgust. “Nuh-uh. You can’t complain about how hot it is and then get all grabby.”
“It’s just our hands! That’s not so bad!”
Rolling your eyes, you bump your shoulder against your husband’s again. “Big baby,” you snort, reluctantly linking pinkies with him — your compromise of the hour. A few of his students happen to pass by at that moment, whispering to themselves and giggling when they see their sweaty science teacher pouting at his spouse. You shoot the kids a look as if to say, Mind your business, and they run off with a laugh. You turn back to Ryland, swinging your arm. “C’mon, babe. Let’s go see the foxes.”
He’s still pouting, but this time, he doesn’t complain.
Thank you so much!! I was getting kind of bored with my old layout so I decided to stay up and switch it up. Another motivation was that I wanted to bring in a little bit of Taylor Swift to my layout ✨ I made a few variations of my new profile picture. It took a little bit of trial and error, but I’ve added a few of my attempts(the top one being the one I’m currently using). Personally, I’ve found in terms of centering sometimes it’s easier(for me at least) for there to be a little room on the bottom🤷♀️ So, if anyone’s interested you can use any of them ✨
Who thinks inside Llewyn Davis is a weird film? Obviously they don't know talent.
i don't think it's necessarily that they don't know talent, just that they haven't been exposed to movies that don't really have a story at their center. still don't think that makes it a weird movie.
Fo! Poe refusing to let reader finish for almost a week because of some stunt they pulled. Just imagine the frustration. Then when he finally let's you finish it's like you can breathe again.
oh my fucking god
he literally leaves you tied up in his quarters for the first day, stopping in whenever he had a free moment, even if it was only thirty seconds or so, to tease the hell out of you (or if it’s one of those quick thirty second ones he just pops in and smacks your clit and leaves again).
fuck and when you’re out in your TIE running drills or going on a short, few hour mission? you better believe he’s saying the filthiest shit to you through your comm, not caring when the officers around him give him strange looks.
you try and touch yourself once, to get just a little bit of relief, but you can’t get yourself to come because your fingers aren’t his. and somehow he knows that you touched yourself, and fuck, that only makes it so much worse. your ass is deffinitely red after that one.
but that’s also when he probably relents, and just shoves you over the desk in his office and finally takes you, and he’s sure he’s never seen anyone so desperate in his entire life, and it’s such a fucking turn on. the drool, the tears, the look in your eye. i’m sweating fuck.
