name: Eminado. ringtone:  X for the longest time. The song is really cute in general. It’s one of those songs that they play excessively at west african weddings tbh but there’s something about it that reminds Aria of Kade. Maybe it’s the element of let me show you what we could be? Idk. Eminado means good luck charm btw. And she sometimes thinks of him that way. picture: x (late night plane ride and he was smiling so she took the fucking picture... that was exactly the defence she used when she put it on her instagram) 

name: G. ringtone: x  ( The way you walk, you talk, you laugh mmm your smileHe is my African manEven if you put a diamond in front of me and ask me to choose. I’ll go with you…..oh! I’ll go with you.You are so easy to love (repeat in English and Xhosa)He is my African manA beautiful man, who is confidentWho respect tradition without compromise, we all knownow that is a turn onEven if you put a Ferrari in front of me and ask me to chose. I’ll go with you…… Oh!! I’ll go with youYou are so easy to love) The translation is necessary cause most of the song is in xhosa but litterally everything about Giovanni-- the contradicting things-- the complicated things, that’s what attracts Yas to him , and he’s so easy to love for her. Even though it’s so fucking difficult all the time-- it was unexpected-- her falling for him and she literally loves.. him like... idk. It’s in her bones. 

ANWAR x PHOENIX

Who’s more likely to find who wearing their clothes?: Phoenix I think. Especially his jackets-- and like hats. Who enunciates hand holding?: Phoenix. Definitely. Who likes having their hair washed by who?: Phoenix. She’s a little princess. Though for a while she was weird about spending so much time just standing there naked. She tended to face the mirror and that didn’t always make her happy. Who likes to slow dance?: If by dance you mean grind--then both of them. Both of them-- Anwar is possessive and there’s nothing that screams mine more than his hand on her ass at a friends wedding. Muse that’s more likely to fall asleep with their head in the others lap?: Anwar.Muse that does all the cuddling in a blanket fort?: Phoenix. Anwar just build’s the fort. Who hogs most of the covers at night?: Phoenix occasionally will sleep on top of him so... make of that what you will. Muse who nuzzles the others shoulder to get them to give them a head rub?: Phoenix. How do they share a desert? Two forks or one?: ...1. Phoenix will pretend she doesn’t want any then steal some of his. Who gets jealous more easily?: Anwar. Who gets angered more easily? Anwar. How do they go to sleep at night?: Depends. She’s in the studio a lot, as is he-- but if she gets home before him she’ll wait up and honestly-- after round 5432 of sex, she falls asleep wrapped around him like a fucking spider monkey. Who gets the most shoulder rubs?: Anwar. What are there arguments/fights like? How often do they fight?: They are a constant argument-- picture yelling, an occasional tear and  lots and lots of curse words. Quite often. Very often. Who is more likely to throw things in fights?: Phoenix. How do they make it up to each other/apologize after an argument?: Pheonix tends to use sex to apologize. She hates admitting she was wrong-- so she might just start talking to him again so he knows everything is okay. Phoenix will apologise though, if she thinks she hurt him. Do they have nicknames for each other?: She’d call him baby a lot. If that counts. Caring for each other while ill, how does the other muse go about it?: Phoenix can be doting. She will make him tea if she has a cold, and try and cook-- but she just gets take out most of the time because pho cures everything and she can’t make soup. Who’s more likely to be patching the others wound?: Phoenix. Muse that says ‘I told you so’, after they come home from the beach and other muse is burnt to a crisp while whining how bad it hurts for not listening and putting on sunblock after the other muse repeatedly told them they’d get burnt?: ...Anwar. Your otp has a newborn baby, who gets up in the middle of the night when he/she cries?: A nanny. Whoever can be bullied into it. Your muse’s of the otp reaction to finding the others crying about something?: She would wrap her arms around him and try and provide physical comfort first before asking any questions.  And how do they make them feel better?: s...e...x? She listens too-- generally and she’ll go out of her way to do nice things for him. She might try and make him laugh depending on why he’s crying. 

What would they be like as parents?: ...until they figure shit out? horrendous. If they begin to be truly functional they could be good parents. What would they have been like as childhood sweethearts?: Phoenix is spoilt so I’m not sure he’d have been into the little princess that she was. I think there’d have been an attraction. Kind of like the princess and the bad boy really. Who enunciates taking a bath together?: ..Anwar. Who likes who playing with their hair?: PhoenixThe place they mostly likely accidentally fall asleep together?: The studio couches, with phoenix on top of him. 

MATHIAS AND ARIA

she is glaring at a large book when he says it-- trying to figure out colour schemes. She moves some of the pictures around-- and glares some more before she acknowledges his words. “No-- I could lie. But no. I promised Anna I’d get these to her before I went on vacation--so sleep has been optional.” It’s half the story-- the thing about Anna but it is late, and it is too late for the truth. How do you tell someone the things she hasn’t told him? She has never found the words for her secrets. But she supposes that is the point of secrets-- for you to keep them.She shuts the book and sighs deeply. “I’m done though. Which means-- I can start on my next painting--”She doesn’t want to stop-- stop working, stop running, and she meets his gaze with something akin to sheer terror swimming in hers. She doesn’t want to fall asleep-- doesn’t want to feel helpless. Doesn’t want to remember her father’s fist. Or Johnny-- the feeling, the emptiness she felt after he left. She wants to be normal-- to be over all the things that have happened to her. To just be the sort of girl basil can love-- who can let herself be loved without feeling like she is betraying someone. Without feeling she doesn’t deserve it. She needs to slow down and she knows it. 

Basil makes it better-- that much is true. But he can’t take care of everything. He cannot heal these things inside her. That is her work. She stands to her feet, her hands trembling so hard she knows painting will be impossible.
