soft voices and cute giggles

big stretch!! oh my god when their shirt rises too

they make themselves comfy in blankets or pillows or something and its. Adorable

drowsy but still mesmerizing eyes

rubbing their back, playing with their hair, or humming to them to sleep while they smile

they cuddle up to anything

b

boys,, sleepy boys.

they know that the feelings are mutual but have each been waiting for the other to make the first move

1/2

saw this on twitter and i made them boyfriends .

Stay alive so you can see the sunrise tomorrow

Stay alive so you can get support from others who care

Stay alive to stand up for yourself when no one else will

Stay alive to defend yourself

Stay alive to live the future you always wanted

Stay alive to meet that special someone and someday marry them

Stay alive because there are people who care, you may not see it now but someday you will

Stay alive to show your strength

Stay alive to show that show off the special smile you keep hidden away

Stay alive to someday kiss your crush

Stay alive to fight for your rights

Stay alive to fight for others and most importantly yourself

Stay alive to see the beautiful wonders this planet holds

hemsworth’s australian accent has no effect on evans whatsoever. clearly. he never melts. he is calm, cool, and collected the entire time they’re spending together.

“I literally just fixed it two days ago though,” Evans says. 

“Yeah, funny how it keeps breaking down,” John says, wiping his hands, and smirking. 

Two hours later finds Chris giving a once-over to Hemsworth’s bike, making sure there were no more problems, while Hemsworth waits for him to finish. Just like last time. And the time before that.

“Alright, looks good. I don’t think you should be having any more problems,” he says pointedly. Maybe you didn’t do a good enough job, my ass.

Hemsworth seems to falter for a moment, looking apologetic (probably a trick of the light), before pulling out a bouquet of hydrangeas seemingly out of nowhere and holds it out.

“What’s this?”

“We had some extra ones in the shop.”

“Extra ones.”

“Yeah maybe it’ll brighten up this dump,” Hemsworth says before walking out with this bike.

Chris looks at John who isn’t bothering to hide his laughter. “Did he just call my shop a dump?”

“He also gave you hydrangeas,” Hayley points out.

“They were extra ones.”

Hayley rolls her eyes and leaves the room muttering something about children and dumbasses.

Chris looks at John. “Krasinski. You know what she’s talking about?”

“No clue boss, I don’t get paid for talking about your love life,” he says.

his eyes linger towards his computer and he makes the snap decision to google the meaning of hydrangeas

google doesn’t help for shit

“how’d it go, boss?”

“good? i think?”

“what do you mean ‘you think’?”

“he-”

“sit.”

hemsworth sighs and lowers himself onto the stool next to the workbench, scrubbing his hands across his face. 

“go on.”

sending michael a look that says dude i’m trying, he continues. “i waited for him to finish my bike just like we planned-”

“don’t forget us!”

hemsworth smiles at michael’s daughters. “of course not girls.”

“get on with it, man! i am dying of suspense here. you’re killing me. oh, i hope you can live with yourself when i go. tell us what the dreamy mechanic said!”

i said it once, once,  under my breath, how the fuck. “so i waited until he was finished to give him the hydrangeas and told him maybe that would help brighten up that dump.”

a beat passes. michael and his daughters stare blankly at hemsworth. 

and then, three voices ring out simultaneously. 

“YOU CALLED HIS PLACE A DUMP?!”

“YOU GAVE HIM HYDRANGEAS?!”

“I was trying to flirt, just like you three said! And what’s wrong with hydrangeas they mean heartfelt honest emotions and gratitude.”

“They also mean you’re not interested in him romantically. What else did you give him besides that?”

“…just the hydrangeas”, he mumbles.

MEANWHILE

hemsworth is still internally facepalming and grumbling to michael that maybe this was a bad idea after all and he should just move on to someone else.

ENTER CHRIS PINE.

what evans and hems don’t know is that everyone in their lives is conspiring to get them together

because they’re fucking hopeless and they clearly can’t do this themselves

so they hire aspiring actor chris pine to…stir the flower pot, as it were. if they can’t see they belong together, maybe seeing someone else try to get in will make them want to act on what - who - they truly want

OPERATION WHAT IN CARNATION IS A GO*.

this isn’t about him though.

he shows up at evans’ shop one day with his “car” in tow, and he’s funny, sweet, very nice but still reserved. evans doesn’t seem like he’s into the too forward types right off the bat so pine plays it cool, but still makes it very clear that he’s interested as he’s leaving.

a few days later, he stops by hemsworth’s, telling him that he wants a longer lasting plant that’ll keep in his office and not need too much maintenance.

when hemsworth tells him “you’re looking for something succulent like then”, pine, biting his lip a little, looks him up and down and says “yeah i am.”

he’s extra flirty when he’s with one and can see the other trying not to pay attention when he’s at one of their shops. it works; both are lowkey fuming and trying not to let it get to them. they’re not exclusive pine can flirt with whoever he wants.

BUT THEN

the group has given him collective data on what the guys like/don’t like in people they’re interested in.

pine mentions he’s not into dogs or disney to evans, and that having children isn’t something he sees in his future.

and michael told him that even though the shop has a presence on social media, he’s in charge of it because hemsworth detests it so much.

“if you’re taking a photo of a moment, are you truly in the moment, mate?”

so pine gets to work on unleashing his inner instagram ho, obsessively checking his phone after every post watching the numbers instead of listening to hemsworth talk excitedly about whatever shipment of a new plant he got in that week.

pine did his job, but the group still worries that they went about this the wrong way when neither makes a move and appear more sullen than ever.

because evans and hemsworth were each trying to make the other jealous they haven’t really talked that much. even without the flirty banter, they just miss each other.

but at the start of the third week they each get to their shops early and it’s the first real moment they’ve had together in a long time.

they’re both walking on eggshells because they know things have changed between them but they don’t know where they stand. a little small talk gets made and they move to unlock their doors, with evans turning around at the last moment to cast another look at hemsworth before stepping inside.

hemsworth’s sullen mood that evans isn’t there matches the storm clouds rumbling outside, something that doesn’t go unnoticed by the others and they share concerned glances whenever he’s not looking.

michael caves first - and the others follow - explaining their plan on how they just wanted them to finally get together and be happy, so they enlisted pine to speed things along but that now both guys are more miserable than ever.

“look, you want him right?”

“yeah, john.”

“then tell him. better yet, go to him! right now. run over there like he’s the sally to your harry, and go lay it all out. go man, go!”

as he draws nearer to the open garage door, he’s struck with the realization that he doesn’t have a damn clue on what to say.

and i’ve never seen when harry met sally. fuck.

he can jerry maguire this. hopefully.

he calls out. “hello?”

“chris? what -?”

“okay, let me get this out. i hate that things have shifted between us. i miss coming over here and talking with you and being with you, fuck, i miss you. and i didn’t act onbit enough and make it more known that i cared for you and we have wasted so much, so much time, not being together. not being us. and now i just… i don’t know. i wasn’t complete, i wasn’t even close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because i wasn’t with you. i couldn’t hear your voice, or laugh about things with you and being away for all this time…what i do know is that i’m not letting you get rid of whatever we have. i can’t. i won’t.”

hemsworth takes a breath. “i love you, chris. you…complete me.”

evans has unshed tears in his eyes, visibly shaken by what hemsworth has just put on the line.

“you had me at ‘aloe.’”

there’s a long pause, the sound that can be heard is the storm raging outside.

“get it? aloe? ‘cause you own a flower shop?

“shut up.”

still laughing, evans steps toward hemsworth, reaching out to cup his cheek in his hand.

looking up into his eyes, lips drawing closer to hemsworth’s.

“i love you too”, he says before kissing him breathlessly.

the end.
