âandddâŠyou have no idea where youre goingâ he was tilting his head to the side, smile peeking from the corner of his lips. Blue eyes came shut as he let out a small breath from his nose, it resembled a laugh but wasnt audible enough to earn the title. âyou acting like you run if a fight broke up is literally the biggest joke.. youâd get lost, and call me to come pick you upâ He looked around himself, trying to figure out what exactly they would be looking for, a food truck, a resturant, a co-op, a grocery store, a farmers market. Lincoln was unsure but he knew it had to do with food in some capacity.Â
âi... do!â he huffed and turned around to walk backwards. âhow do you not trust me already? i know exactly where we are. BESIDES, half of the fun is wandering about. weâre looking for a place that does the best savoury doughnut. itâs this everything and bacon doughnut. deep fried, salty, creamy... sounds amazing, doesnât it? thought so.â since he was walking backwards he walked straight into a pole and cursed, rubbing his shoulder and walk straight again. âouch... anyway the door is blue. so let me know if you see a blue door.â
teddy laughed and rested his forehead on the table with a groan. âiâm so terribly sorry for stealing the love of your life,â he looked up at her again, trying to not look in the direction of the person he was now vowing to avoid for the rest of his life. âoh... no, babe. youâre not doing that, that guy is OLD.â teddy shook his head and chugged back the rest of his drink in one sip. realistically, the man in question was maybe 40. âhe doesnât even look rich, not worth it. and iâm not having a threesome, as lovely as you are. i like being friends. just.. ew, donât look at him again.â
âat me?â brows furrow, a displeased groan escaping as he not-so-subtly turns to look at the person. his expression remains unbothered, brown hues focused on the alleged winker. then, he hears the man beside him start freaking out. âshh, ey- slow down.â he slightly raises one hand, as if to signal that everythingâs just fine, gaze never leaving the stranger. casually, he winks at the girl, deciding to join in on the fun. âalright, got âer.â a swift thumbs up before he lets his hand fall onto the otherâs knee, turning his head to look at him. âalright, i reckon we should shag now?âÂ
teddy wanted to thwack the otherâs hand away when he raised it at him. the whole motion was so... chokingly elite he had to shudder. then again, everything he was thinking was two times crazier solely because heâd been so awkward. âi donât know why i winked. what dâyou mean got âer?â he even tried to mimic the accent but truthfully, it was fucking horrendous. âshag? oh, iâm flattered but youâre on your own, buddy. iâm blaming my wink on an eye spasm... but youâre fine to go off and shag her.â
He hadnt so much as opened up the vinyl store that he was regretting agreeing to staying in NYC for any longer than he had to be. The shelves were stocked, the people were hired, he could just run away, but he had made a promise. The first few weeks were good, easy, nice, now however, he was over it, that itch under his skin making him want to leave again. Trey was positioned behind the counter and looked at the person walking in. âplease tell me youre coming in about the help wanted sign.. because you can have the job, I want to goâ he laughs.Â
teddy still loved walking up and down the streets of new york, the city was ever changing and there was an adventure at every turn. today it led him to a vinyl store that had become his new favourite places. he didnât so much love listening to music as much as he loved people going off about their love for a certain album or artist. he grinned and rolled his eyes playfully as he approached the counter and leaned against it. âgo? go where? the party just started! iâm here to keep you company. also jamie says hi.â he pushed himself against the counter to have a look behind it and frowned, âyou donât have snacks back there? lame.â
   âhuh ? who ?â she asked, looking back. the blonde turned around and saw the person he was talking about. allie was still debating if she should wink back when suddenly she heard teddy panicking, and the girl whipped her head back to teddy. âoh god, why did you wink back ?â she asked with a laugh, her own cheeks blushing. âokay, okay, i can do that. letâs just hope they donât come over.â she said with a laugh, shaking her head.Â
âi donât KNOW.â he grumbled back defensively but the blush and smile gave him away. he wasnât mad, just severely embarrassed and wished the person would leave already. âweâll definitely go elsewhere if they come over. this is just getting too weird. weâre not here to find dates, weâre here to catch up! tell me how things are going? whatâs new? are you seeing anyone?â
But teasing Teddy was what he did best. His teasing was often his way of flirting and somehow this boy did not realise that James had literal feelings for him. He supposed it probably wasnât very obvious considering he flirted with EVERYONE and fucked every single man he saw but Teddy was the only one he actually cared for. âYouâre right, you have to dress perfectly otherwise I will disown you from my little celeb inner circle.â The fact that people were actually jealous of Teddy because he got to touch his half naked body in a music video was insane but it didnât stop him from being overly smug about it all. âYou should be HONOURED you got to put your hands all over my chest. What more could you want in life? Youâve already peaked.â He laughed but then suddenly stopped as he pouted instead and leaned forward, half moving onto Teddyâs lap so he could pout at him. âWhat the FUCK? Thatâs so unfair. Why do you hate me so much?â
âas youâre well aware, i rarely dress properly.â teddy grinned, winking at the other as he mentioned their millions of sleepovers. it was still a shock how they got so close so fast and at this point if teddy didnât hear jamieâs voice everyday, he felt sad. the music video felt like a fever dream, how he managed to star in such a sexy thing without falling to pieces still baffled him. he raised a brow as jamie moved closed and wrapped one arm around his waist and the other grazing his chest. âthey must die knowing i could do it again and again and again. thatâs probably what gets them, not one music video, just the fact that i could make you mine so fast. sucks that you stink and iâd never want you.â he laughed right into jamieâs pout even if it was slowly melting his heart and stood up, shaking the boy off. âbecause i do. câmon, go fetch me a bowtie and we can goooo! i did my hair all nice for paparazzi pictures!â
hey bubs, iâve got a really busy weekend but i will be logging on soon!! will reply to all my IMâs etc. in the meantime i do have an open starter if anyone is interested!!
The lower east side was not somewhere he found himself often, but when Teddy has a truck hes following, Lincoln knows better than to turn down a meal he know will knock him on his ass. The June sun beating down on tanned skin, blue eyes squinted in adjustment to the blaring sun as he stepped out of the private car that was very out of place for the area. âwhat in the world are we doing in this shit hole?â he asked with a small laugh, before covering his mouth and looking around âmaybe shouldnt say that so loud?â he teased.Â
@teddyloweâ
teddy looked around, trying to remember where they were off to next. he couldnât get his google maps to work-- no surprises there-- but he knew heâd feel when they were close by. âoh shut up! i donât want to get hurt, iâm not getting into a fight for you. iâm running as fast as i possibly can.â he said as he flashed link a grin and looked at the street signs. âaha! i know exactly where we are, follow me!â he announced, wandering off the totally wrong way, âand tell me whatâs new. itâs been a while.â
It wasnât often that he got the pleasure of seeing Teddy this dishevelled so when the man came into his department looking as though heâd been dragged through a bush, an immediate smirk drifted onto his lips. âNot the bowtie, ANYTHING but the bowtie.â His smirk turned into a pout as he caught the destroyed fabric, holding it sadly before he twisted it around his fingers. As much as he adored his fans, they were also fucking crazy and he knew it could be a bit much for people like Teddy who werenât used to all of that. âIâm sure I have bowties somewhere, I could get one and make you look all cute again.â He booped his nose with his finger before a grin appeared on his face. âI hope youâre aware that I only keep you around so I can get fed, you know? You have no other purpose in my life.â
âdonât tease my bowtie.â teddy frowned at the other, his eyes gazing over jamesâ outfit of the day. jamie really had the best dressing team and now teddy felt stupid over his bowtie. âoh yes please, iâd love an overpriced gucci bowtie and nothing less. i have to dress my best in the presence of a celebrity, a fancy musician with the worldâs craziest fans. did you know i got recognised out there? as the guy who got to touch you the MOST. they were actually jealous of me for being able to do this.â he grinned, booping jamieâs nose right back, âreally? none? i could be your trophy husband, i look so good on your arms, but thatâd destroy your bad boy vibe. anyway, just for this iâm feeding you vegetables only and using no oil tonight.âÂ
âthey totally just winked at you.â teddy said, taking a long sip of his drink and accidentally met the otherâs gaze. in an effort to make the situation less weird, he winked back and instantly blushed. âoh god, i winked at them. fuck, fuck, just pretend i said something funny! iâm such a fool.â
âremind me again to never mess with your fans.â teddy said with a shudder, tossing the torn up bowtie at him. it wasnât intentional but trying to get through the crowd of fans, his bow tie got ripped from his neck. he hated being friends with famous people sometimes, especially the ones with with such a big following, so mainly jamie. then again, everyone in new york was famous in some shape or form. he plopped down on the sofa and wore a pout on his face, âarenât you ready? i thought i was cooking you an after hours dinner? i look incomplete without my cute bowtie, but i tried.âÂ

BLURBS
hey folks itâs mar im lazy so u get badly written blurbs and NO MORE
teddy was orphaned not soon after birth. it was the drive home from the hospital and surprisingly he got out clean, but his parents didnât. there wasnât any family to take him in so from the start, he was put into the system.Â
the system sucked, he never did find a forever home and was able to be emancipated at sixteen. he finished high school on his own and worked his ass off. he got his first job working under daniel boulud. he worked his way up in the industry and learned everything from his mentor.Â
by twenty five, he had the keys to his new restaurant and heâd put all his life savings into it. lumoria is his pride and joy, he works everyday, even now, at twenty eight. he recently received his second michelin star.Â
heâs extremely devoted and even now canât take a step back from the restaurant. realistically, he wouldnât receive a third star for another few years, but teddy wants to make his parents proud.Â
apart from the restaurant, teddy is really introverted but makes friends easy. heâs not the most trustworthy and rarely discloses information about himself, but heâs always willing to lend an ear.
is emotions are always so in check that he feels like heâs faking them. his smiles arenât always genuine, homeboy has some very deep rooted issues that he canât unfold. and sadly no one has noticed because everyone has their own lives to worry about.
heâs 28 and no where near settling down. he canât hold a proper adult relationship, but he fucking tries. not really a hoe but will go through phases where he tries to date people seriously and then of course it crumbles because he canât open up.
seriously he has 2 emotions, happy and ok. he never cries, he just canât???? like his mind n heart do not connect. if he ever cries, itâs in complete secrecy
is completely inept at technology, heâs just old school and doesnât feel right about instagram and twitter. obviously in this day and age itâs important to be active on social media so heâs really trying!! but would so much rather speak to someone in person.
ok homies pls give me plotssss. my discord is mar#5399 !! i feel way more comfortable plotting on discord <3
â Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold. Weâve come so far, my dear, look how weâve grown. I wanna stay with you until weâre grey and old. Just say you wonât let go. â
