starter for @notbit !
time is hard to keep track of now, but louis isn’t blind to the changes of both himself and the friends around him. he’s started growing facial hair, started losing the baby fat in his cheeks—at least to some degree—and he’s got little patches of hair in places he hadn’t remembered them being before. he’s just thankful to whichever of his parents’ genes that prevented him from having breakouts.
and despite his own body’s questionable changes, he supposes it could be worse. he thinks about willy and the way the boy’s voice cracks over the tiniest things and the plethora of acne that plagues his skin. ah, the joys of puberty… still, louis has other things on his mind besides his friends’ changes. well… most of them, anyway…
his eyes flit over to the girl—or woman—beside him, taking in the slope of her nose from her profile view as they walk. clementine. if anything, she’s aged the most gracefully out of all of them. and louis acknowledges that he is entirely biased, but he doesn’t care. anyone with half a brain could see the beauty clem’s become—not that she wasn’t already beautiful, but, in louis’ opinion, she’d only managed to grow even more beautiful with time.
he’s reminded of the quote from mulan that had never managed to leave his mind even after all these years: the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all. and he’ll be damned if it doesn’t fit clem to a T. he wonders if he should mention it to her; wonders if it would make her blush. it’s an entertaining thought.
instead, he carries on about one thing or another—anything to fill the silence between them—and he notices that she’s been quiet, which isn’t anything unusual, but, knowing her as well as he’s grown to, he can tell when it’s an unusual amount of quiet.
“ penny for your thoughts ? ” he asks after a brief pause, brow risen. he knows they need to focus—keep their eyes peeled for anything they could bring back to the school—but checking in with each other while they do it wouldn’t hurt anything.

to say that he and mitch have a bit of a…tumultuous relationship is an understatement. they have their ups and downs and ons and offs, but somehow ( probably from weakness on both of their ends ), they always wind up right back where they left off. they can never seem to truly leave each other alone. louis would be amiss to deny that he’s enamored by mitch’s freckles and minty green eyes—eyes so intense that they make every hair on louis’ body stand on end when mitch gazes into his eyes. it’s those same intensely green eyes that make louis weak in the knees and could get him to do just about anything. it’s a fault of his, and he knows it, but when put in that situation, it’s hard for louis to deny mitch anything.
so, when mitch comes crawling back after their last big fight, louis tries to turn him away—he does good at first, but eventually, mitch has him worn down, and he caves. he can practically see the eye rolls of their friends when they find out that they are, indeed, back together.
“ i should just tell you to leave, ” louis sighs, hands gripping at mitch’s broad shoulders as he gazes up at him. “ 'cause i know exactly where it leads, but i watch us go 'round and 'round each time… ”
it truly is, entirely, a fault of louis’ that he’ll always take mitch back and he knows it.

it’s not a good day as far as louis is concerned, and usually he can see the brightside on most things—or he pretends to, at the very least. today, however, he feels drained and the absolute downpour of rain hasn’t been helping his mood. he doesn’t know when it plans on letting up, but he can’t imagine that it’ll be any time soon.
earlier, to pass the time, he had tried to crack jokes, play piano, partake in conversation with the others—anything to fill the void of boredom. it hadn’t lasted very long before he caught hell from a handful of people and he wasn’t sure if he had the mental energy to keep up with his usually chipper appearance today.
james had been visiting; sticking out the storm and far too kind to call louis annoying like the others had. james didn’t talk much, so he should’ve expect as much, but it was still nice to not have the reminder that he was extremely under appreciated by his peers.
with a sigh, he spoke, not exactly addressing james, mostly just talking aloud, but it had only been the two of them in the current vicinity.
“ i’m sick of all the games i have to play… ”
oooooooooooooo #2 for the Spotify wrapped meme for Louis!!
#𝟐: "𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑵 𝑩𝑶𝒀𝑭𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑫" - 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒏 / 𝚂𝙿𝙾𝚃𝙸𝙵𝚈 𝚆𝚁𝙰𝙿𝙿𝙴𝙳 !
louis knows that he’s a dork and he knows that clementine would agree—but he truly can’t help himself. being around her brings out the silly, goofy behavior that most would scoff and roll their eyes at. but not clem. if anything, she encourages louis’ bad behavior by giggling and laughing and calling him playfully teasing names. who could blame him for wanting to hear more of those melodic titters ?
he’s sitting at his piano, carefully placing clem’s hand along the smooth wood, before positioning his own above the keys. he flashes her a playful grin as he says, voice light and sing-song, “ feel my makeshift heartbeat, clemster~ ” and then he starts playing one of the many songs he’s written for her over the time they’ve been together.
starter for @lastedpromise ( mitch ) from louis !
not much phases louis—or he likes to pretend it doesn’t. either way, he doesn’t let the others see. he’ll let their stinging remarks or off-handed comments roll off his back, smile, laugh, and go about his day, care-free. sometimes louis can tell that they aren’t being serious; he doesn’t take every comment to heart, but sometimes things hit a little too close to home. still, he’ll go about his day—it’s nothing new.
what louis hadn’t accounted for was how his HOTHEADED boyfriend would react. he was still getting used to it. it wasn’t like mitch said much before they got together—in fact, louis thought mitch hated him with every fiber of his being at times, or at the very least found him annoying. so, he’d been extremely surprised when mitch made a move on him—not that he disliked it or anything.
but it surprised him even more just how mitch acted when they were together. softer, sweeter, but still with his usual chaotic streak…and a temper when set off. he hadn’t gone off on louis about something ( yet ) but louis could watch the gears turning in his head and the way he had to bite his tongue whenever someone scoffed about something louis said. louis found it more impressive than it probably was, and…sweet.
“ mitch, seriously—it’s fine, ” louis insisted once they were alone. “ for real. don’t have an aneurysm, okay ? ”
starter for @imaginarianisms ( aaliyah) from louis !
louis had always wanted kids—it had been a decision he’d made while he still was a kid. he’d wanted a big, happy family—happier than anything he grew up with—and, admittedly, he never thought it was in the cards for him. at least not with the world steadily crumbling around them, anyway.
but then along came aaliyah and while he’d been stunned, floored, even, to find out that he was going to be a father after having come to terms with the fact that it was never going to happen, it had been a pleasant surprise and one of the happiest days of louis’ life—only coming second to the day she was actually born, of course.
being a parent was already hard; you would always be worried for your child’s wellbeing, but with how the world was now, louis’ concern for his child had only grown tenfold. still, he tried not to stress himself out too badly—they had a literal village to look out for aaliyah, after all, but he was still going to worry. no amount of reassurance would ever quell that.
“ i’ve taught you well, ” louis said one afternoon, beaming down at his daughter. he’d been teaching her how to play the piano, and, unsurprisingly, she was naturally gifted, much to his delight. “ have you written any of your own songs yet ? ”
“C’mon, we could use a little fun.” [ for louis from mitch ]
louis peers at him with a risen brow. ‘fun’ with mitch could be questionable at times. and judging by the firecrackers louis spots in mitch’s hands, he doubts that it’ll be the kind of fun that everyone can enjoy.
“ fun for who, exactly ? ” he asks, hands perching on his hips. and after a brief pause, he adds, “ don’t tell me you’re gonna go throw those at someone’s house— ”
it’s already late and louis is tired and doesn’t feel like dealing with the potential consequences of being caught. and he has a feeling that he’d face a harsher punishment than his counterpart, anyway.

🎲 (for louis)
39: a tentative kiss ...
“ c’mon dude ! wake up ! ” louis tried to shake the other back into consciousness, but he was out cold and showed no signs of stirring. “ seriously, james, we gotta go ! ” like james could actually hear any of what louis was even saying.
shit.
shit. shit. shit. shit. shit…
louis cycled through many ideas in his head, but he couldn’t carry james; the guy was too big and way too heavy for louis to be able to comfortably carry him. clearly, trying to wake him up by force wasn’t working, and louis didn’t have any water to splash james with. they didn’t have much time either; the walkers would be closing in on them soon, and louis didn’t feel like dying today.
another idea sparked in his mind, and immediately, he shut it down… until it came back, and he realized that it actually might be his ONLY option at this point. he peered down at james, contemplative, gnawing on the inside of his cheek as he thought it over, and ultimately decided that it was this or nothing, and he just hoped that james would be understanding afterwards.
with much trepidation, louis finally leaned down, hesitating the closer he came to james’ face, almost second guessing himself and chickening out. sure, it wasn’t ideal, but it was this or leave james to get mauled to death by walkers and louis didn’t want to have that on his conscious for the rest of his life !
inhaling deeply through his nose, louis surged forward, but still could only manage to press a featherlight kiss to james’ lips, pulling away a mere second later, and watching with a mixture of relief and terror as james’ eyes finally fluttered open.
before louis could open his mouth to speak—to justify what he’d just done—he found himself upright in his bed, breathing heavy, and staring out at the dim walls in his dark dorm room. it took him a few moments to realize that it had all just been a dream, and he made a mental note to not eat any more years old candy he found laying around ericson’s again.
“It’s weird. I never thought I could feel like this, but you showed up. Now, it’s like I don’t wanna go on knowing I might lose the feeling.” Clem @ Louis 🥺💕✨
louis had never taken clem for the poetic type, but maybe he truly was rubbing off on her. her words, while touching, were bittersweet, and he couldn’t have her worried about losing anything of what they had.
a smile pulled at his lips as he gave her shoulder a gentle nudge. mushiness ensuing in three…two…one…
“ more like you showed up, ” he corrected her, airily. “ when we’d saved y’all from that car wreck i never woulda thought we’d end up where we are now… and i don’t wanna lose this feelin’ that i feel for you either. ” he leaned in closer then, almost enough for their noses to touch. “ you’re the only one who can keep feelin’ what you’re feelin’ though. and believe me when i say: i plan on makin’ it wayyy too hard for your feelings for me to ever go away so…you got nothin’ to worry about, clemster. ”
💅 for clem & louis and/or violet depending on your mood !! <3333
he observes clem’s handiwork, inspects it closely, before offering her a grin. “ not a bad job, ” he concedes with a nod before his smile grows playful. “ i mean, not as good as i could do but, y’know, A for effort and all that. ” he’s teasing, more pleased with clem’s job well done than he’d admitted. it brings him back to the times when he let girls in his classes paint his nails during free time. he always enjoyed it—despite how repulsed the other boys in his class tried to act.
“ where’d you even find nail polish, anyway ? ”
“Don’t you have work?” violet @ louis !
“ nope ! ” his tone is much too chipper for someone who had the lookout night shift. “ just switched out with rubes so my schedule is lookin’ pretty clear right about now… ” he’d be lying if he said that he didn’t get a kick out of getting under violet’s skin. she made it too easy, honestly. “ besides, i can tell by how enthusiastic you are to see me that you won’t mind me hangin’ out with you for a bit. ”
