To Think That More Than Likely I'm Going To Suffer The Same Disappointment With Eddie And Buck That I

to think that more than likely I'm going to suffer the same disappointment with Eddie and Buck that i suffered with Remus and Sirius is breaking me...

Today Even is staring more than usual. He’ll never get used to this perfect life he has, and he’ll definetely never get used to Isak but today is one of those days where he’s staring in awe.

The mustache phase is gone for good, and so is the soft curls framing his face perfectly. It was a good one - Even is still searching for a look Isak can’t pull off and look the sexiest man to ever walk this universe. But this…this is something. Something else. It’s still Isak, his Isak and God knows Isak is still very much a weird, grumpy child the second he opens his mouth to make any comment, and he’ll never change but something about this look he’s been growing for the past few months gives Even a different kind of chill.

Something about the short hair, it was a buzzcut at some point, but Isak’s hair grows like grass, so it’s not as short, but still, i’s just a fuzzier buzzcut if that’s a thing. Even can’t run his fingers through his boyfriend’s hair when they’re cuddling before falling asleep yet but now it’s not pointy, it’s soft and nice to cuddle his cheek against. And there’s the thick bear that’s finally full, but still keeping Isak’s jawline the same.

He’s so hot it makes Even dizzy and it feels like the first time he’s seeing and realizing Isak is a man. Living together, tangled together physically and emotionally makes it hard to realize how much time has gone by and how much they’ve changed since they met each other.

Even forces himself to move, and breathe and just stop staring all together, smiling to himself.

“I like this look.” Isak was staring back at him with a shy smile just turning the corners of his lips slightly up - you can barely see it because of the bear, but Even knows him, and knows that smile because it barely reaches his eyes. It’s a private smile that Isak only shares with Even when they accidentally slip into their bubble while in public, surrounded by their friends and strangers at a bar, late at night, with loud music filling their ears when they pop back out to reality.

“Huh?” Isak frowns, moving forward against the table between them - somehow they sat across from each other this time, not glued to the other’s side.

“I like this.” Even points to Isak’s face, and he gets the idea, and smiles, drinking a little bit of his bear.

“So cheesy, Even.”

Even smiles back at him, sighing, looking around, tired of being social for the night, ready to walk home with Isak, trying not to stare now that he was caught, and Isak will force him to look somewhere else while holding hands in the very cold night that awaits for them outside.

so... my dear dear uncle had covid during January 21... he died on May 22 because of a stroke... long covid is real and mortal... please stay healthy...

sometimes I miss march 2020 bc I feel like that was the last time everyone was equally afraid. it felt so fast that people split into camps like “covid isn’t even real” and “covid is real but The Economy” and somehow people who are serious about public health and masking ended up at the bottom of the heap being treated like kooks and outliers

[ID: a tweet from user @NailsNCrowns (miguel gomez stan account.) that reads “someone put together a google doc of 150 gynecologists that will tie your tubes without asking if you have kids, your marital status and no matter your age. It’s sorted by alphabetical order by state.” They include the link. Below is another tweet that reads “if your city isn’t on the list, please check back in a few hours because the list is updated hourly.” /end ID]

Here is the link to the Google doc.
