| | | | | @loveasachoice :: “When they call for you, you feel like a superhero because you are their super hero.” - about Gregory :]
— 𝙼𝙸𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙴𝙻 𝚂𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚂, but he's unable to keep himself from smiling. Harper is right, of course. Not that the other man wouldn't know, but he's managed to put it into words in such a way that just encapsulates that feeling so well. That's exactly how Michael feels. He loves Gregory so goddamn much && when that boy calls for him, when he looks to him for guidance, when he just needs him ... there is not a feeling in the world like it.
( What in the world is there to be upset about ? )
❝ You've got that right. Nothing I'd rather be, too. ❞ Michael sounds positively dreamy. Never would've thought he'd love being a dad so much. Hell, he really never thought he would get to be a father. Let alone to such an extraordinary little boy.
He'll chin up. Give him a moment to let it sink in again.
Harper giggles, && shakes his head, && leans up to nuzzle into Michael's neck. It's a beautiful feeling, to be so needed, to be so well loved. He, too, knows this first hand. It took him a long time to learn it as something as much for him as for those around him, but he did.
❝ You're my hero, too, ❞ the soft man murmurs adoringly, entwining their fingers together. ❝ Look at you. My Westley. Gregory's Superman. How could you possibly feel any other way ?? ❞

❛ Nothing good is ever easy. ❜ - for Eddie!
His fingers stop as he looks up from the joint he'd been rolling, tongue nearly poking between his lips. "That sounds like a fuckin' Hallmark card," he says before neatly finishing the joint. Eddie doesn't immediately reach for the lighter he keeps nearby, hand twitching a little as he looks the other up and down. There's a faint smile that works at the corners of his mouth before he gives a bitter swear, putting the joint between his lips and lighting it. He inhales, letting the drug sit in his lungs for a little, and then exhales away from the other man.
"They think I killed someone, you know?" He drums his fingers against the table he's sitting at, the joint held between two fingers as he tries distracting himself. He can't get the lock on Chrissy's face out of his mind, but he hadn't done anything to help her. He'd tried. He'd tried so fucking hard, but even his hardest wasn't enough. He just wanted to make sure Chrissy was okay, and that wasn't even something he could prevent.
So, like always, he ran. Ran out of Hawkins and into a smaller town that had a worse vibe. Great.
He gives a soft, yet slightly deprecating, laugh before taking another drag. Again, he blows it in the other direction. "What makes you think it'll get easier?"
At this point, they are still near — perfect strangers. Just the little town's latest stray && the bleeding heart who had decided to reach out to him. But that doesn't mean Harper isn't still going to follow through on that reaching out, soft hand, soft heart.
He watches the smoke of Eddie's exhale curl in the air. Like the breath of a dragon. It doesn't escape his notice, that small consideration. It'd seem like nothing to someone who paid less attention, but Harper is nothing if not a man who pays attention. Tiny gestures tell huge stories. This tiny gesture tells him he's talking to a person that cares how his actions affect others.
That little laugh makes Harper's heart break.
❝ You know … I didn't actually say it would get easier, ❞ Harper replies softly, moving a little closer. Light fingers brush against Eddie's jacket sleeve, then gently rest there. ❝ Sometimes it gets harder. But that doesn't mean it doesn't get better. I might sound like a Hallmark card, but that's what I believe. Good things aren't easy. A life worth having isn't easy. That doesn't mean you can't have it. ❞
❝ I mean, you didn't kill anyone. ❞
“Don’t Take the Money is a phrase I say in my head all the time. It has nothing to do with actual money. It means to follow the light. Don’t ignore a gut feeling. “Don’t take the money.” I repeat it to myself when I’m trying to stay on track.” - Jack Antonoff

🖋️ he hasn't met any of them yet so :]
🎲 : Human!Elio
🏵️—Elio loved to visit the Pizzaplex, despite her history with the place. The bright colours and silly atmosphere, the laughing children and the (subpar) pizza they served, the arcade cabinets and the golfing and the animatronics the.. the daycare. It was all so nostalgic to them, and made him feel like he was a kid again. Even if it wasn't that many years ago that she was.
Sol didn't feel 21... It was crazy to think that from now on, whenever she visited the pizzaplex, it'd be as an adult. For a while however, they had been an employee. Interning at the "Superstar Daycare" as the Daycare Attendant was transitioning into its role, Elio had been helping out while also studying on the side. As soon as he wasn't free labour however, he had been sacked, and sol had to look for work elsewhere.
So with that in mind, the Plex would always have a special place in sols heart. It just sucked that her picture of the place had been... sullied, somewhat.
As they stood and pondered about all of this, a S.T.A.F.F. bot had came careening towards him at full speed, seemingly on their way to deliver a pizza from the nearby restaurant. Perhaps something was off in the programming, but they ended up crashing into her at full speed, sending both her and the pizza flying as they let out a shout of surprise.
Luckily they landed softly at least... No, wait, that wasn't right. With their nose unknowingly bleeding, they scrambled into a sitting position, before looking down at the poor soul that had served as his airbag.
"Ah!! I'm so sorry!!!"
Harper had been just innocently minding his own business.
Well, as innocently as anything can be in the Pizzaplex. As innocently as he can be in the Pizzaplex. He's got a very long history with this place himself ; his uncle being the Henry Emily means he's never getting away from here, && he's come to accept that as part of his life.
He's thinking about it, sort of staring into space, when suddenly a force rams into him like he's being tackled like a linebacker with a vendetta, && he hits the floor hard. He's been thrown around his fair share of times in his life, but gosh, it sure never gets any easier when you're 5'1 && 100 lbs soaking wet !!
Hands fly up reflexively, a thrill of PANIC for just a moment between the sudden weight && the fact that they are still in the Pizzaplex.
But panic tapers off slowly as he sees the individual perched atop him, very much human, not an ANIMATRONIC, apologies tumbling from their mouth.
❝ Oh !! Golly !! You gave me quite a fright !! ❞ He manages, the words almost automatic. ❝ Oh no, look at your poor nose !! Let me help you. ❞
a relationship isn’t always 50/50. some days a person will struggle. you suck it up and pick up that 80/20 cus they need you. that’s love.
@funtimes-n-faz-kids asked, You can’t be real about this! It sounds like a fairytale come true. (For Liz) ↪ royal au → accepting !!
A gentle giggle from the anxious prince. Golly, it's not like she's entirely wrong, is it ?? It is like a FAIRY TALE in real life. Easy for him to get used to, to forget the truly faerie tale parts && get lost in the to — do of it all. && her excitement serves to help dull the turning of his stomach.
❝ I suppose so, golly !! I guess you've probably never met a real prince, huh ?? ❞
@lastafton asked, So he built Helpy. What background does he have in robotics ? What grounding ?
❝ Oh, I'm no robotics engineer. The Helpy I built was more of a wind — up toy than anything, though I'm very proud of him nonetheless. Actually, what happened was that ... after I built this model, using knowledge I gleaned from Uncle Henry, he must have messed with it at some point without my knowledge. I know I didn't program the little guy to be able to do anything, let alone dance && file taxes. ❞

@fragmcntdstars asked, ❝ Is it possible you’re wrong? ❞ / from William ↪ dr. phil → accepting !!
❝ Do you think I'm wrong ?? ❞ Asked genuinely, without challenge nor sense of defensiveness. Eyes soft, lowered to the vegetables he's cutting for dinner ( because God knows William will just eat the same quick meals over && over if Harper doesn't feed him ) with curtains of thick lashes.
❝ You can simply say so, William. I won't be upset if you do. But please understand that, wrong or not, I'll continue to follow what my HEART tells me is right. ❞
@loveasachoice sent ❛ please don't be mad. ❜
There's a gentle furrowing in the man's brow as he looks at the other, then to the plastic bags in his grasp. Haphazardly, gaze flicks over to the fridge door where he'd hastily put a half-hearted attempt at a shopping list under a fading magnet. The magnet was still there, as were the other pieces of paper around it, but the shopping list was absent. His mind almost goes silent, until an almost softer realization starts working through his mind.
Harper didn't have to help him, but the other man chose to.
"... I'm shocked," he admits, "I don't think it'd be right to be mad at someone who brings me groceries."
It saved him another trip out of town, and also might have saved him some money. He maintained some small employment with Henry, but it was under the table and he always worked at night. None of the security guards honestly cared enough to make sure there wasn't anything necessarily bad happening.
Taking a few of the bags from the other, William walks into the kitchen and starts putting things away. "Do I owe you anything?" Its a soft question, the tone of his voice opening the door to a softer empathy.
A smile of acknowledgement, warm && gentle && soft all at once. He allows William to take some of the burden off his hands, then follows the older man into the kitchen.
Here also he'll help, taking out groceries && putting them away. In addition to all the things on William's list, he's brought other essentials, && even a few treats. Everybody needs to have a few treats sometimes.
❝ Of course you don't owe me anything. ❞ Just as soft. He's seen how hard it is for William just to leave his house, to go out && be seen in public. Keeping stocked on groceries must be something of a nightmare without the ability to go to the store. ❝ I just wanted to do something nice to help out. ❞
Besides — the Afton family has never exactly been ill off, but doesn't know what William's savings are looking like now that the other man has had to dip into them. It wouldn't be right to make spending decisions for him.

okay but saying "i wish i had known you sooner" — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.
