#idiots in love
NOW COMPLETE
Wanting, Not Needing
Kaz finished the rest of his tea, placing the empty cup back on his desk. He’d been looking at the same paperwork for the past hour, it seemed, never getting any further with it.
He sighed and rolled up his shirtsleeves, exposing the black ink of the crow and cup on his forearm. It was hot and stuffy in his room, but he knew if he opened the window and let the noise from below invade the room, he may as well give up on work completely.
He was still too warm, could feel the stickiness of sweat starting to collect on the back of his neck. The glands on his wrists were itching, and he pulled off his gloves, idly scratching at one of them.
It took him a moment to realise what he was doing.
To realise what it meant.

In a world where the next world-ending catastrophe is not waiting just around the corner for our favorite group of Magicians, most of the excitement is to had by guessing when Eliot and Quentin will finally realize that they are in a relationship.
Julia: “Okay, they just went out on a date. Which means I win because I picked July and that’s closer than any of you.”
Alice: “No, sorry. Q just wants to go to that library in Manhattan, and Eliot tagged along because he said he liked the coffee from one of the pastry shops near there. That doesn’t count as a date. It’s gonna happen at the Halloween party this year, so my October is going to win the pot.”
Josh: “Are we sure that them cuddling and falling asleep together on the couch while watching that rom-com last week doesn’t count? Because that would have been totally my win.”
Margo: “You are all wrong. It’s going to happen on Christmas. There will be mistletoe everywhere. Sooner or later one of them is gonna get trapped under one of those with someone else, and then the other one is gonna be jealous and make some kind of public claim. They are both idiots, and that’s the kind of thing that has to happen for them to stop being idiots. So it will be December and the pot will be mine.”
Kady: “I still think you are all cheating me out of my win. Quentin called Eliot ‘Honey’ in May. Eliot handed him a glass of wine and Q said ‘Thanks, Honey.’ And then they were making heart-eyes at each other for like a minute. I won.”
Margo: “That didn’t count. The use of petnames is not conclusive evidence of them tuning into the program and acknowledging that they are a couple.”
Penny: “… Why the hell am I friends with you people?”
Kevin: *running towards Aaron with open arms*
Aaron: *moves out of the way*
Kevin: Hey, why’d you move?!
Aaron: I thought you were going to attack me
Kevin: I was going to hug you!
Aaron: Why would you hug me?
Kevin : WHY WOULD I ATTACK YOU!?
Tony: You’ve been really stressed, so I thought I’d take you for a spa day, just you and me.
Loki: A what day?
Tony: A spa day.
Loki: What does that mean? I feel like you’re starting to say a word and you’re not finishing it. Are you trying to say spaghetti? Are you taking me for a spaghetti day?
Tony:
Loki: If that involves eating lots of spaghetti, I’m up for it.
Tony:
Tony: Yeah, sure, why not.
Tony: You know what? Fine. I’m done being careful.
Loki: I’m sorry, are you saying you WERE being careful up until now?!
Tony: Loki and I don’t have pet names for each other.
Natasha: Mhm. By the way, do you know what bees make?
Tony:Honey?
Loki, from the next room: Yes, dear?
Natasha, to Tony: Don’t ever lie to my face again.
i’m blatantly flirting with you prompts
feel free to use :)
- “are you a photographer?” “no…? you know that.” “…… Okay but just answer ‘why’.”
- + character a blatantly flirting and character b answering everything bluntly and 100% seriously
- “okay. okay, this may be going out on a limb here, but do you like… like me?” “YES.” “oh. i see.”
- ^ my heart goes <33333333333 when characters finally confess something big and ###that character that silently freaks out simply goes “oh…….. huh. i see.” while rubbing their chin in thought
- character a’s love language is teasing so naturally character b thinks character a hates them so then character a has to explain that no when i said you looked like an oaf i meant like, a loveable oaf that like, i want to date. By the way oaf means you in this case
- “did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” and a clueless “… what are u even talking about” response
- “i’m trying to flirt!” “i know, i’m trying to flirt back!” “THATS WHAT IM— wait w—”
- characters with different love languages and that prospect being why neither of them knew the other was flirting
- idiots in love but also… flirty character x character who knows they’re flirting but wants to make them work for it
- BUT ALSO….. flirty character x character who is just nonchalant like oh hmm okay yeah cool interesting anywayy
- main character leaves a room with their friends and their love interest is waiting outside like “hey. there you are.” with the biggest most bright smile and all the main characters friends see it except our mc is completely blind to it
- enemies to lovers with blatant flirting BECAUSEEEEEEE one character would just be flirting outright at this part in the enemies to reluctant friends to lovers journey (see my enemies to lovers post :)) and the other would be so confused and would not want to believe they’re flirting because they hated each other two months ago
