“anddd…you have no idea where youre going” 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. “you acting like you run if a fight broke up is literally the biggest joke.. you’d get lost, and call me to come pick you up” 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.
‘i... do!’ he huffed and turned around to walk backwards. ‘how do you not trust me already? i know exactly where we are. BESIDES, half of the fun is wandering about. we’re looking for a place that does the best savoury doughnut. it’s this everything and bacon doughnut. deep fried, salty, creamy... sounds amazing, doesn’t it? thought so.’ since he was walking backwards he walked straight into a pole and cursed, rubbing his shoulder and walk straight again. ‘ouch... anyway the door is blue. so let me know if you see a blue door.’
‘ at me ? finally , someone in this damn city who can recognize a bad bitch . ‘ taking a small second to fix her hair , luna’s just about to turn around and see how this stranger looked until she notices teddy winking , now trying everything to convince herself not to burst out laughing . ‘ fuck , are you really trying to steal the love of my life ? right in front of my salad ? ‘ a small chuckle leaving her lips . ‘ y’ know , i could pretend you did say something funny , or i could organize a threesome instead . ‘
teddy laughed and rested his forehead on the table with a groan. ‘i’m so terribly sorry for stealing the love of your life,’ 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. ‘oh... no, babe. you’re not doing that, that guy is OLD.’ teddy shook his head and chugged back the rest of his drink in one sip. realistically, the man in question was maybe 40. ‘he doesn’t even look rich, not worth it. and i’m not having a threesome, as lovely as you are. i like being friends. just.. ew, don’t look at him again.’
“at me?” 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. “shh, ey- slow down.” he slightly raises one hand, as if to signal that everything’s just fine, gaze never leaving the stranger. casually, he winks at the girl, deciding to join in on the fun. “alright, got ‘er.” a swift thumbs up before he lets his hand fall onto the other’s knee, turning his head to look at him. “alright, i reckon we should shag now?”
teddy wanted to thwack the other’s 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 he’d been so awkward. ‘i don’t know why i winked. what d’you mean got ‘er?’ he even tried to mimic the accent but truthfully, it was fucking horrendous. ‘shag? oh, i’m flattered but you’re on your own, buddy. i’m blaming my wink on an eye spasm... but you’re fine to go off and shag her.’
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. “please tell me youre coming in about the help wanted sign.. because you can have the job, I want to go” he laughs.
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 didn’t 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. ‘go? go where? the party just started! i’m here to keep you company. also jamie says hi.’ he pushed himself against the counter to have a look behind it and frowned, ‘you don’t have snacks back there? lame.’
“huh ? who ?” 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. “oh god, why did you wink back ?” she asked with a laugh, her own cheeks blushing. “okay, okay, i can do that. let’s just hope they don’t come over.” she said with a laugh, shaking her head.
‘i don’t KNOW.’ he grumbled back defensively but the blush and smile gave him away. he wasn’t mad, just severely embarrassed and wished the person would leave already. ‘we’ll definitely go elsewhere if they come over. this is just getting too weird. we’re not here to find dates, we’re here to catch up! tell me how things are going? what’s new? are you seeing anyone?’
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 wasn’t very obvious considering he flirted with EVERYONE and fucked every single man he saw but Teddy was the only one he actually cared for. “You’re right, you have to dress perfectly otherwise I will disown you from my little celeb inner circle.” 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 didn’t stop him from being overly smug about it all. “You should be HONOURED you got to put your hands all over my chest. What more could you want in life? You’ve already peaked.” He laughed but then suddenly stopped as he pouted instead and leaned forward, half moving onto Teddy’s lap so he could pout at him. “What the FUCK? That’s so unfair. Why do you hate me so much?”
‘as you’re well aware, i rarely dress properly.’ 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 didn’t hear jamie’s 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. ‘they must die knowing i could do it again and again and again. that’s probably what gets them, not one music video, just the fact that i could make you mine so fast. sucks that you stink and i’d never want you.’ he laughed right into jamie’s pout even if it was slowly melting his heart and stood up, shaking the boy off. ‘because i do. c’mon, go fetch me a bowtie and we can goooo! i did my hair all nice for paparazzi pictures!’
hey bubs, i’ve got a really busy weekend but i will be logging on soon!! will reply to all my IM’s 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. “what in the world are we doing in this shit hole?” he asked with a small laugh, before covering his mouth and looking around “maybe shouldnt say that so loud?” he teased.
@teddylowe
teddy looked around, trying to remember where they were off to next. he couldn’t get his google maps to work-- no surprises there-- but he knew he’d feel when they were close by. ‘oh shut up! i don’t want to get hurt, i’m not getting into a fight for you. i’m running as fast as i possibly can.’ he said as he flashed link a grin and looked at the street signs. ‘aha! i know exactly where we are, follow me!’ he announced, wandering off the totally wrong way, ‘and tell me what’s new. it’s been a while.’
It wasn’t often that he got the pleasure of seeing Teddy this dishevelled so when the man came into his department looking as though he’d been dragged through a bush, an immediate smirk drifted onto his lips. “Not the bowtie, ANYTHING but the bowtie.” 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 weren’t used to all of that. “I’m sure I have bowties somewhere, I could get one and make you look all cute again.” He booped his nose with his finger before a grin appeared on his face. “I hope you’re aware that I only keep you around so I can get fed, you know? You have no other purpose in my life.”
‘don’t tease my bowtie.’ teddy frowned at the other, his eyes gazing over james’ outfit of the day. jamie really had the best dressing team and now teddy felt stupid over his bowtie. ‘oh yes please, i’d 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 world’s 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.’ he grinned, booping jamie’s nose right back, ‘really? none? i could be your trophy husband, i look so good on your arms, but that’d destroy your bad boy vibe. anyway, just for this i’m feeding you vegetables only and using no oil tonight.’
‘they totally just winked at you.’ teddy said, taking a long sip of his drink and accidentally met the other’s gaze. in an effort to make the situation less weird, he winked back and instantly blushed. ‘oh god, i winked at them. fuck, fuck, just pretend i said something funny! i’m such a fool.’
‘remind me again to never mess with your fans.’ teddy said with a shudder, tossing the torn up bowtie at him. it wasn’t 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, ‘aren’t you ready? i thought i was cooking you an after hours dinner? i look incomplete without my cute bowtie, but i tried.’

BLURBS
hey folks it’s 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 didn’t. there wasn’t any family to take him in so from the start, he was put into the system.
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.
by twenty five, he had the keys to his new restaurant and he’d 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.
he’s extremely devoted and even now can’t take a step back from the restaurant. realistically, he wouldn’t receive a third star for another few years, but teddy wants to make his parents proud.
apart from the restaurant, teddy is really introverted but makes friends easy. he’s not the most trustworthy and rarely discloses information about himself, but he’s always willing to lend an ear.
is emotions are always so in check that he feels like he’s faking them. his smiles aren’t always genuine, homeboy has some very deep rooted issues that he can’t unfold. and sadly no one has noticed because everyone has their own lives to worry about.
he’s 28 and no where near settling down. he can’t 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 can’t open up.
seriously he has 2 emotions, happy and ok. he never cries, he just can’t???? like his mind n heart do not connect. if he ever cries, it’s in complete secrecy
is completely inept at technology, he’s just old school and doesn’t feel right about instagram and twitter. obviously in this day and age it’s important to be active on social media so he’s 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
❝ Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold. We’ve come so far, my dear, look how we’ve grown. I wanna stay with you until we’re grey and old. Just say you won’t let go. ❞
