They remind him of her.
Large and dangling free from her ears; brightly painted papier-mâché “monstrosities”.
That’s the word he’d used to describe them, making no effort to mask his distaste.
Instead, Mia smiled widely in response, reaching up to touch one at its faux-stalks. It stopped that distracting swing, back and forth with every slight movement of her head. Chuckling, and pride lifting her cheery tone, she told Mason she made them herself.
Lemony-yellow, mossy-green, the burnt-chestnut centre.
All crammed together outside of the tiny flower shop. Dozens upon dozens of them staring back at him; yellower under the blaze of the mid-August sun.
I am always sick of you, but today I am especially sick of you. Like, from moment one, I just got this shaky feeling in my chest like, OH MY GOD, this idiot is in love and he does not know! She is his little sunshine and HE DOES NOT KNOW.
but I think where I got really REALLY messed up was when I got here:
They remind him of the sunshiney smiles. The ones she so easily tosses his way, like they’re never any work, like they could never go to waste.
like they’re never any work!!!!!!!!! Perhaps I am more Mason than Mia, but I love that for him. to encounter someone for whom it comes easy and who puts light into the world.
and then: “Like they might be in on some big secret, and Mason will be the last in this entire godforsaken town to know.”
Yeah, stupid!!! Hehehehe.
I guess my words are failing me because what I like most is like…how well you’ve captured him having a realization in real time. We’re seeing this and feeling this along side him. We are absolutely experiencing his seismic shift. It’s just….great. And still manages to be funny and make me do a little eyebrow bobbing. (Harmless teeth with their dull edges!!!!??? Mason! I am not going to say it, but you know I am thinking it.)
Wow. I know you’re talented and yet I allow myself to get walloped over the head every time :))))
tagged by the wonderful @starrypawz - thank you!! :D
this is really more of a teaser, as I have the whole thing sketched out, but it needs some work. this is a project for a writing anniversary, and while the whole thing is pretty nsfw, this is pretty mild, so no content warnings.
Olivia and Mason, and intimacy in its many forms <3

A smirk pulls at his lips as he reaches past her for the toiletries.
His nose wrinkles as he sniffs a bottle, replacing it and reaching for the soap instead. Massaging the bar between his hands to build up a lather, he moves to her arms, his touch firm and methodical as he glides his hands along her skin.
This is not the first time they’ve done something like this, but his movements are slow, unhurried. His strong fingers work the muscles of her shoulders and back, tracing down the length of her spine before settling at her hips.
“Lean back against me, sweetheart.”

tagging- you, reading this! (really, please tag if you do this!) also (no pressure!):
These are all kinda misc and twc. Idk if I’ll pick them up again. Got a shirtless Adam and a Mason just kinda chilling there, a very vague comic of Yaz singing abt Nate and then getting ambushed with a kiss and then the wet pjs scene from the demo with the “Are you laughing at me, agent Sewell?” line.
I DONT REALLY HAVE ANYONE TO TAG TBH I’m only just getting back to posting on here. If u have wips u wanna share tag me I’d love to see them.
