“I just mean... You’re not gonna be here. And if you’re not here how can we make out and shit?” Landon looked over at Dahlia with a confused frown. “I don’t - I don’t know how it’ll work, babe,” his brain was still trying to comprehend the distance between Chicago and California. Could he drive it? He’d need to get a car first. He’d need to get a job before getting a car. “Do you... wanna?”

right in the guts. angst sentences.

it was cliche, it was cliche and wrong. It was wrong of nate to have feelings for his best friend’s significant other, and yet here he was. here he was, sitting across from the two with a drink in hand and growing more and more uncomfortable with how he had his arm around them or pressed a kiss to their neck, or cheek or lips every so often. nate knew that his best friend wasn’t aware of his feelings for his significant other, he knew the man better than anyone else. better than himself, even. he would have figured if he had begun to suspect, but it still felt like he was rubbing it in his face. he shook his head and took another sip from his beer and got up, needing air and to get away from all the displays of affection. he was leaning against the railing of the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers when he heard someone step out behind him. “just needed some fresh air, i’ll be right in,” he told them, taking another drag to contradict his words. he glanced over to see who had joined him and froze. “what’re you doing out here?” he found himself asking.

Luke casi nunca duerme, siempre aprovecha las noches para estar en las cocinas o leyendo algún libro, así que es muy común verlo con ojeras ya que si durmió 4 horas en una noche es un milagro.

Carter and Caroline had been best friends since they were babies. There’s not a single moment in time that he can’t remember knowing Caroline, maybe when he was really, really small. Being the mighty age of 5, Carter already knew that he wants to be around Caroline for like ages and ages. Like until he’s 18, that’s very old. 

Thanks to their parents being great friends, Carter never had to be apart from Caroline for very long. Which also meant they got to hang around each other’s house a lot. Which is what they’re doing right now. Caroline was running around in her own backyard and Carter was chasing her, he’s already forgotten why but it didn’t really matter since Caroline is still laughing and having fun. 

When they finally fell onto the grass exhausted, Carter took Caroline’s hand into his and turned his head to look at her. 

“Want to know a secret?”

“The sun smile when you smile.” Carter said with a huge grin, like he’s told her the greatest secret known to man. 

The next day at pre-school, during class, Caroline snuck him a note under the table after whispering to him whether or not he wanted to know a secret. Excited, Carter took the paper into his hands and tried his best to unfold it as quickly as possible. 

He only managed to glimpse at the words inside when the teacher called out his name. He quickly stuffed the paper into his mouth and smiled helplessly at Caroline. 

He was punished to clean the blackboard for passing notes but it was all worth it in the end because Caroline snickered when he had his ear pulled by the teacher. He made a promise to himself that day that he’ll do whatever it takes to keep that smile on her face. 

It’s not the first time he’s at the hospital and it’s definitely not the first time he’s waiting for his significant other to give birth. William had no idea why he was so anxious. He’s been through this at least twice, so why the nerves? Maybe it’s because it was Santana’s first time? Maybe it was because he suddenly conjured up all the ways that this could go wrong? God, Santana was tiny. And now she’s giving birth to twins. What if something goes wrong and she... At the thought of something terrible might happen to Santana, William felt a huge wave of anxiety.

As soon as he felt his stomach drop, someone took hold of his hand and squeezed tightly. He looked over to his side and found his favourite woman in the world: his sister. Wanda has literally been through everything with him. She was, is, and always will be a constant in his life. The fact that she’s here with him, giving him strength in his time of need makes him cherish her even more. He could never live without Wanda, she’s the other half of him. 

With a shaky smile, William held tight onto Wanda’s hand and nodded. He needs the distraction. He can’t be stuck in his head any longer or else he might go crazy and do something stupid, like burst into the operating room. 

Thank God and everything else for Wanda. 

Prompt:  Carter is too nervous to approach Caroline, and only admires them from afar.

Caroline was the newest addition to their company and from the first day she arrived, Carter hadn’t been able to keep his gaze away. She looked positively ethereal in her professional attire. Her warm smile just drew people in and on top of that, she was genuinely so nice. Caroline was the perfect woman as far as Carter is concerned.

Once, he was suppose to give some documents to Caroline and he spent a good fifteen minutes hyperventilating in the washroom before he gathered enough of his wits to walk towards her office. But either God took pity on him or decided that he wasn’t worthy, Caroline was nowhere to be found. So dejectedly, Carter left her office after depositing the documents on her desk. On the way out though, it was like Lady Luck smiled at him and granted him another chance at life, Caroline was walking towards him with the cutest smile ever. Carter could feel his heart skip and then beat furiously, his mouth was dry and his throat was closing up. He had practiced what to say in the washroom, but now it was like his brain short-circuited and nothing was coming out. 

Before Caroline was able to reach him, however, another associate caught her attention and she stopped in her tracks. At the same time, Carter was told he was needed elsewhere. Sighing, he began to walk away from the woman that has stolen his heart. He turned his head one more time to stare longingly at Caroline’s silhouette. Maybe one day he’ll gather enough courage to talk to her.

Prompt: Cat knits an ugly sweater and forces Victor to wear it.

Catherine was humming under her breath as her concentration was fully on the two needles in her hands. It was about a month before Christmas and she was on maternity leave. This meant that she’s got way too much time on her hands and way too much back ache. So here she is, lying on the bed and knitting -- in particular, knitting a sweater. Although she can afford to buy Victor a lot of things thanks to her generous trust fund, she always wanted to give him something that’s one of a kind. 

Every day, when Victor goes off to work, Catherine would just sit in bed and knit. She wanted this to be done in time for Christmas. It was going to fantastic. She can’t wait to see his reaction when he sees it. At that thought, Catherine smiled sweetly to herself. 

The month went by quickly and it was Christmas morning. Catherine had wrapped the sweater into a neat package and placed it under the tree the night before. As Victor began to rip into the packaged sweater, Catherine bit on her lower lip and looked expectantly at Victor’s face. 

When confusion clouded his face instead of the delight that she was expecting, Catherine frowned. 

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” She asked tentatively. 

Victor was quick to affirm that he was very grateful for the gift. Catherine beamed when she heard him say that. She insisted for him to change into the sweater right away so she can take pictures of him in it and send it to the rest of the family. 

So there he is, Victor, wearing a sweater with a disfigured smiling rabbit on its front, smiling warily at the camera. If this wasn’t the greatest display of love ever, then nobody has truly experienced love.
