Weltschmerz & Wanderlust.

“To reach things on high shelves,” she deadpanned, before giggling at the nose boop. “I mean, maybe. You could just be sick,” she pointed out, and shrugged. “I’m just saying, it’s different behaviour than usual. So you either really like him, or he’s your best friend, in which case I will fight Ollie,” she said fiercely.  Jasmine’s bottom lip trembled again at his little outburst but she took in a deep breath to calm down. She really hated mood swings. “Yeah, twins,” she said softly. She smiled sheepishly, blushing when Felix talked about Ross’s sperm. “Um - yeah, it’s… I don’t know, I guess it’ll fit. My tummy will stretch or whatever… Dad wants me to get a c-section, he’s worried that my hips won’t be wide enough. But the doctor hasn’t said anything yet, so… so I think… I think I want to do a natural birth,” she said gently, knowing he wouldn’t take well to that. “I mean, popping two kids out is just the same as popping out one kid, right? I’d already be in maximum pain, it just means the pain lasts a little longer. But twins also mean that all my symptoms are gonna be worse, s-so I’m gonna be extra emotional, and my morning sickness is worse and I’m gonna start sleeping more… I don’t know, it’s scary. But… But I’m excited. Two babies! That means they’ll always have a best friend,” she said, eyes shining. Jas wrinkled her nose. “I don’t want a boob job. I want my boobies.” Jas laughed a bit and shook her head, smooth his hair with her fingers in a surprisingly motherly gesture. “You know you’re not broken. That shuld be what’s important, regardless of what she’s doing. But just remember that… that she’s coming from a good place. She’s doing this because she cares about you, even if her methods are a bit stifling. You keep being you and she’ll come around and realise how awesome you are. Besides… Being pregnant gives you all kinds of weirdly maternal urges. Seriously. It’s like, I see a baby, and suddenly it’s the cutest frickin’ thing I’ve ever seen in my whole damn life. Try to stick it out, okay? For me?” She gave hi the puppy dog eyes.

Alana looked up at him and smiled small. “I think talking about it to you will make me feel better.” She shrugged and then took a deep breath before gasping. “How rude of me! I didn’t even ask you if you were busy! If you’re busy though, we can totally talk later - oh.. well I mean I’m glad that I saved you but are you sure?” She asked and kept walking.

“Aw. I need you for way more than just sleeping with random boys,” she promised him, kissing his cheek. Jas waggled her eyebrows. “Look at you. Normally you just dive right in but now you’re stopping and analysing how you feel? Looks like Felix caught the looove bug,” she sang. Jas chuckled a little, still wiping at the tears but trying not to feel too overwhelmed. “Nobody looks at anybody the way I look at banana bread. That look is pure hunger, lust. Actually, Ross has looked at me that way once or twice, but really, it’s this raw, animalistic look. I don’t think Ollie is capable of such a lustful, lecherous look as the one I give banana bread,” she told him very seriously. She gave a sad little sniffle, calming down as he rocked her back and forth and kissed her head. “I know giving birth scares the crap out of you, Felix,” she told him softly, pulling back and holding his face in her hands. She rested her forehead against his and sighed. “But you have to understand that it’s a very natural part of life. And… and the chances of something bad going wrong are slim to none. You shouldn’t stress so much over a ‘maybe’,” she murmured, before nestling her face in his neck again. Jas took a deep breath and then smiled at him sheepishly. “Um… It’s… Um… You’re… Uh… Let’s just say that… there are gonna be two new Roses for you to spoil and love,” she said, before awkwardly doing jazz hands. “Surprise?” Jasmine’s jaw dropped and she swatted his shoulder. “I can get a boob job?! What the fuck, Felix?!” She demanded, folding her arms over the very piece of anatomy they were discussing. She huffed and looked away sullenly. “Pro tip, Fee. Pregnant women don’t like being referred to as ‘knocked up’, especially when they are in a positive relationship with the father of the child. I’m beginning to think maybe she’s not being unreasonable and maybe you’re just really bad at dealing with pregnant women.”

“Oh really? What else do you need me for?’ he asked with a cheeky grin and booped Jas’s nose. “What? The fuck are you talking about?” he asked with his eyes wide, as he placed a hand on his stomach. “Are you trying to say that that weird rumbly... rumble in my tummy whenever I see Ollie is not a stomach bug? Or just my subconscious reminding me just how great his cupcakes are?” he asked. Honestly, Felix might be very experienced when it came to sex but he was a total dumbass when it came to the actual feelings -- he thought he was in love once and it ended up with him having a mental breakdown, so he really tried to stay away from any relationship feelings. “Oh look, he gave you that look once or twice and look at you now!” he rolled his eyes but his expression softened quickly because he didn’t want to make Jasmine burst out with tears again. “T-Twins? As in two babies? At the same time? In one tummy?” he wasn’t quite sure if Jasmine was just fucking with him or if she was telling the truth. “B-But you’re like... five feet small, where are they going to fit?” Felix askin’ the real questions. “Oh fuck, Jas, I didn’t know his sperm would be this good,” he only shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, a boob job, what’s wrong with this?” he asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. “Yeah, she has a very positive relationship with his credit card,” he muttered under his breath. “Look, Jas. I really like her as a person, okay? She makes dad happy and that’s what mum would have wanted but she just needs to stop trying to fix me, because I am not broken, okay? I know what I’m doing and I refuse to be her guinea pig because she has nobody else to experiment on when it comes to raising kids.”

Alana looked up at Felix and held onto her coffee. She sighed softly and began to walk beside him. “Well I’ve been having a bad week.. maybe even longer than that.” She muttered before looking around. “Can we talk about it when we get to my place?” She asked and then glanced back up at him with a small smile on her face. 

“It must be,” Oliver replied and nodded in agreement as he accepted the cup. “You’re a saint, Felix, you really are,” he told the other before taking a sip and groaning in pleasure at the taste of the hot drink. “I’m definitely sure that you can’t do that. I’m only the lowly mascot, but I’d feel guilty about ditching everyone to go nap.”

flxwstwd hangin out with jas and ross be like...  🙄

“I haven’t been on my phone in a while, Fee.. I’m sorry.” Alana sighed and pushed her hair back, smiling small at his jokes. “I’m alive, no worries.” She then pressed her lips together. “I’m not really in the mood to go out. Maybe we can just go back to my place? Order in?” She took a deep breath and then shrugged. “Am I okay? I mean.. yeah, I have to be don’t I?” 

“You’re so right. Ross wouldn’t sleep with other men to get them off of me,” she agreed, laughing a little. She raised her eyebrows and looked amused. “Aw, do you liiiike Ollie? Like, like like him? Well, of course you do. Who wouldn’t? I was so bummed out when I first found out he was gay. I mean, his tush! It’s so plump and round!” She gushed. She nudged him a little. “But how do you know Ollie doesn’t like you? I think he does. He looks at you the way I look at double cheeseburgers with extra pickles.” Jas scrunched up her nose, her lower lip trembling suddenly. Mood swings - she really hated them, but they were part of pregnancy. She was mostly bummed that she cried so much recently, considering she usually rarely cried. “Why do you think b-being pregnant is g-gonna ruin my life?” She asked him, her eyes watering. She sniffled and wiped at her tears, but it only seemed to trigger more into welling up “M-My life isn’t ruined just because I’m pregnant! I - I c-can still do st-stuff and - and it’s n-not like it’s g-gonna affect my future plans t-to go to c-college and st-stuff…” She whimpered, frowning at him and looking deeply, deeply hurt. “And… and I was g-gonna tell you something scary but exciting about the sonogram but now it feels like you just want me to get an abortion or something…” Jas gulped quietly, wiping again at the tears and feeling silly. She hid her face in his shoulder, her tiny body shaking against his. “An-an-and I kn-know my body is gon-gonna be gross, b-but… But you don’t have to say it out loud!” She wailed, knowing that Felix was aware with her obsession with looking good all the time. She swallowed heavily, still crying a little as she wiped at her eyes. “She doesn’t like me?” She looked down, brows furrowing. “But… but I’m so cute! And lovely! And who cares if we’re banging or not? That shouldn’t change her opinion on me. Does she want you to be some kind asexual recluse?” Jas whimpered again. “Why is she so mean to you? You’re the awesome person I know…”

Alana let out a breath, nodding her head towards Felix. “Good.. I’m sorry..” She said again and forced a small smile on her face. She hadn’t been doing so well because of what had happened between her and Zach. “I’m just.. I’d headed home I guess. I didn’t have anybody to bring me coffee since everyone I know was busy..” She looked down. “I escaped my room for coffee hoping I wouldn’t bump into anyone..” That ‘anyone’ was mainly aiming for Zach, hoping not to offend Felix. “I’m sorry again for bumping into you though..”

“These lyrics are practically writing themselves,” he deadpanned, his lips twitching with mild amusement. Jackson grinned and gave the dog a good scratch behind the ears. “I’m not one of the men you can count on?” He asked, mock-offended. “Well, hey there, Teddy. Wanna meet Sora? I bet the two of you would be best of friends,” he said, before letting out a sharp whistle so his pug would run over from where he’d been playing in the grass nearby. “This little guy is cuter than your little guy,” he informed Felix.”

Felix puckered his lips and hummed. “Nah, not really. You're buddies with Ross, I can’t fully trust you, y’know?” he answered after a while and grinned when he saw the pug approaching. “Oh my Gosh, I didn’t know you had a dog!” he grinned and scooped the pupper in his arms, petting him and laughing brightly before letting him play with Teddy -- and by play I mean jump around and sniff each other’s butts -- classic dogs. “You know, I might even want to sleep with you for free now,” he joked. “Yeah, he’s a cutie but Teddy is the cutest because he’s, well, mine.” 

She looked thoughtful. “Then, yeah, you should totally sleep with him. He’s a good kisser, so maybe he’ll be good at the hankypanky,” she suggested, before looking at him with adoring eyes. “Besides, who wouldn’t fall in love with you? My little man,” she cooed, pinching his cheeks in an overly-motherly way. Jas shrugged. “Like I said, Fee, you can’t blame the pregnancy on him. There were two people having sex and one of those people were me. It’s just as much my fault as it his. But let’s not think of it as a bad thing - let’s think of this as a happy thing, mmkay? You’re gonna be an uncle! Isn’t that cool? More Roses for you to spoil and adore. Plus, right now I’m in the sweetspot where my boobs know what’s up but my stomach doesn’t. Don’t they look perky?” She beamed, cupping her breasts pointedly. Jas rolled her eyes. “Looks like Fewix is going thwough his webewious phase,” she mocked him in a baby voice. She rested her head on his shoulder. “That wouldn’t work. Your dad’s smitten, he’d probably buy her a dress to match the yacht and then you’ll just own a yacht. C’mon, can’t you just sit down and talk to her about how you’re eighteen and your dad has never placed these kinds of restrictions on you before? I can even talk to her, if you like. You know I’m pretty charming.”

“The things I do for you, see, Ross wouldn’t sleep with him to get him off you,” he mused and grinned and his best friend. Scrunching his face and taking Jas’s hands away from his perfect face. “Ollie. Ollie just won’t. Fall. In. Love. With. Me.” he grumbled and sighed deeply. Oblivious as hell about Ollie’s feelings towards him, just like he’s pretty much oblivious to anyone having a crush on him. “Fine... I’ll try not to think of him as a guy who ruined your life but instead I’ll try to think of a guy who that helped with ruining your life?” It was a good compromise, wasn’t it? It wasn’t but Felix just couldn’t help it. “Yeah, your boobs look super extra but they won’t be super extra once you start breastfeeding,” he pointed out, still a bit salty but this time he cracked a small smile at Jas’s words. “What would be so bad about owning a yacht, though? Imagine the pictures I could have taken! But you’re right, he won’t leave her, especially not when she’s pregnant,” he agreed with his best friend’s words and then shook his head abruptly. “No... that is a horrible idea. She doesn’t really like you and according to her, you can’t be best friends with someone without wanting to fuck them... I mean, fuck the fact that you’re pregnant with some other guy, we’re apparently definitely banging, y’know?” he rolled his eyes. 

Zach grinned. “You’re so weird,” he said affectionately.

“I’m weird?” he gasped dramatically and put his hands over his heart. “You’re the one who started talking about ramen, boo!” he retorted with a chuckle.

Zach: Dude I can't hook up with someone who isn't in the right state of mind to consent duh

Felix: i'm not sober but i'm not so fucked up that i can't make decisions duh

Zach: I mean there's plenty that can be done about it but we might wanna wait until you're not high anymore.

Felix: im not high

Felix: okay i am
