thagantm asked: “ you’re hot. and i’m bored. ” ( for Carol but like, charmingly cute )
SHE PLACED THE PALM OF HER HAND on his chest and threw back her head with a scoff. "You're bored. I'm not," she said, shoving him back in such a way that it was clear she wasn't mad. "You think I have nothing better than you to do, Tommy?"

how often our muses text
Well, it's pretty uncommon for them to be apart. Assuming they are, Carol will chitter chatter at Tommy throughout the day regardless of how often he texts back. If one of them can't sleep it's not unusual for them to text the other and stay up for the next few hours texting each other until one of them breaks down and says "just come over".
what our muses normally text about
Usually it's silly shit like "omg I swear Heather's nose job looks sooooo fake". Shit talking and judging others is their favourite long-distance couple bonding activity.
"I'm not looking for trouble," said to a well known trouble maker in Hawkins High. Michael thinks he's been shoved or terrorized in some way or the other by Tommy before, but he doesn't really remember what it was, exactly. Not memorable enough, clearly. "If you're looking for the guy selling drugs ... he just left." @thagantm
“ hey i got something for you look! ” *holds up middle finger* ( for Axel )
"No way! Here I was thinking all I would get this year is another sack of coal." His hand shot down low just as the words were leaving his mouth, slapping Tommy on the dick as if it were a third hand. "Merry Christmas, fucker."
character in general: canon tommy? never thought that much of or about him. on the surface he's such a little shit, and when i first watched s1, i honestly just never thought any deeper than that surface level. that changed a little when chester said he played tommy as having romantic feelings for steve, and suddenly it gave him and his actions an entirely different spin, and it made me see him in another light. now, YOUR tommy? i utterly adore him. which leads me to...
how they play them: you've given him so much depth and gotten me (and steve) head over heels and invested (how dare you?! lol). not only have you made me think so much deeper about his character, his history with steve, his loyalty, and given me feelings about this snarky little shit and everything under that hardened surface of his, but you're the reason i now ship it so hard, and now i have tommy as steve's first m/m experience as default. you have an actual gift lol. i can't get enough of people taking an obscure or side character and developing them so much the way you have! (plus kudos yet again on the fc - now i have another pretty boy to fawn over alongside joe - i might even watch cobra kai now lol).
the mun: honestly, i still find you super intimidating lol! but you're also funny and creative and have really amazing ideas; for tommy in general as well as stommy and the ot3 you and kel have evilly gotten me completely hooked on, and i get so excited when i get memes from you. every time.
DO I:
rp with them: i think we do have one thread still in its infancy so far! and yet i'm already this invested? embarrassing...
want to rp with them: very very much. 🥺
WHAT IS MY:
overall opinion: amazing characterization and writing, as well as the ability to get people completely invested in your muse. so glad you decided to follow me even though you're leagues above me in terms of talent!
[ CAREFUL ] one muse is recovering from minor injuries, so the other takes charge and makes them stay still while they have slow, sensual sex
THIS IS A GLASS HALF-FULL SITUATION if there ever was one. while steve initially had a few reservations about getting intimate while tommy was still recovering from his wounds, concerned about making it WORSE, it hadn't taken much to change his mind once he was informed that they weren't that serious, and that there's no need to put a PAUSE on it. he didn't need to be told twice — when it comes to doing this, he's insatiable sometimes.
it's not just because the sex is good — really good, actually — but it's like normality is SUSPENDED, and there's no having to keep how he feels buried, hidden deep beneath a veneer of apathy and snarky comments; and tommy isn't much better. but this is better, and steve has ALWAYS used sex as a way of being close to someone and to be a little less touch-starved. it's even better when it's with someone he knows so well, and has CARED about for so long; even if he doesn't say it aloud.
it's a lot easier to do what they're doing right now, no words needed; steve's lips peppering the side of tommy's neck with soft KISSES, their bodies gently pressed together, skin against skin. this is where the glass half-full part comes in. he gets to take control, both for tommy's sake, as well as the enjoyment of having the UPPER HAND right now. it's something he particularly enjoys if tommy is on the receiving end of it.
"...hold still, okay?" steve instructs in a quiet but firm tone, his hand slipping between their bodies to guide himself, to slowly and carefully PRESS into the other boy carefully now they're both ready, a shaky gasp inhaled on steve's part as that all-encompassing SENSATION surrounds him. he trusts that tommy will tell him if he needs to switch anything up, or stop.
steve then captures tommy's lips in a SLOW, languid but still passionate kiss, blindly seeking out his hands at the same time. finding them, steve carefully pins them above tommy's head to ensure he does keep still as instructed, and he's unable to resist SINKING his fingers in the gaps between the other boy's; interlocking their fingers. it makes something immediately TWINGE in the cage of his chest, and steve softly moans into tommy's mouth as he begins to move with careful thrusts.
that's why the glass is half-full. they can't be rough and rigorous tonight... but they've been given a gift-wrapped excuse to take their time.
"…𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙼𝙰𝙺𝙴 𝙰 𝙶𝚁𝙴𝙰𝚃 𝙱𝙻𝙰𝙽𝙺𝙴𝚃 ." the half-teasing statement is followed by steve's arms loosely sliding around tommy's body where he lays atop of steve's torso, in efforts to keep him where he is; a silent plea to do this just a little longer. he has always been a cuddler by nature, and he has spent so long being STARVED of it.
it doesn't matter at all that tommy's a guy; his ex-best friend, no less, or that they have a COMPLICATED past, or that they haven't given a name or title to whatever they're doing recently — any of it. in fact, what they're doing offers an acceptable excuse to get to do this without having to actually say the words. words are still too intimidating to confront... and he doesn't know how tommy will react to it.
thoughts about that 𝙿𝙴𝚁𝙼𝙴𝙰𝚃𝙴 his mind, and steve can only hope tommy doesn't pick up on his heart beating a little faster as a result, given where he's presently laying. one hand slides up and he begins toying with tommy's hair while he can, and glancing around at the rest of the bed, he has to bite back a contented smile upon realizing there are PLENTY of pillows all over it that the other boy could have chosen.
