Tyvolio - Tumblr Posts

One word: oof.

(a very small tyvolio thing, filled with more angst than any 300 words can deserve.

Seriously, I want to write. And I need new ideas before making all the possible character I can ship tybalt with deal with the outcome of the duel.) (yes, yes, I'm working on the other chapters of the Fae au, and on the big thing, and the 5+1.i still want more ideas.)

It felt strange sometimes, benvolio remembered blaming Romeo for falling in love with juliet, when he first fell in love with someone he shouldn't have. But how can you stop your heart from beating so fast everytime you see an angel walking down the streets? He, who never really believed in God, he called him an angel just for his look. He said, many times, some painters must have had visions of him when painting those winged creatures, dreams on curly blond hair flying in the wind. He loved the reaction he always received back from those words. The way tybalt suddenly turned shy, the smile, the light blush on his cheeks.

How hypocrite to blame Romeo. Or maybe-- maybe now he could blame him for some other reasons, now he could really blame him.

The wound on mercutio wasn't as bad as they thought, he bled, sure, but he wasn't going to die, friar Lawrence made sure he knew that before running back to Romeo.

If only--if only he had run a little faster. He stopped short as soon as he entered the square. Romeo's dagger went in, slid deep in Tybalt's chest and benvolio froze. Other capulets divided the two, dragged romeo away while a man, long hair, dirty blond, someone benvolio saw many times by tybalt's side, gently laid him on the ground, holding him, a hand brushing on his face and hair. Tybalt's hand fell on the street and the man looked up briefly, despair, grief written in his eyes, he met benvolio's eyes and that was all he needed to know. He ran there to stop them, to tell them both that mercutio would be fine. He ran-- he wasn't fast enough and now...

"no..." his voice came out strangled, he took a few steps before falling on his knees, tears once again streaming down his face. He had time to save mercutio, why had he been so slow this time? He stretched a hand out, grabbed tybalt's, squeezed it lightly before dragging himself closer and putting his forehead on the still chest ignoring everyone around them. Ignoring romeo, capulets and Montagues alike.

He was dead. Tybalt was dead because he couldn't run faster. It was his fault.

For domesticity, before I forget to send, tyvolio or tybalt/romeo... (or both... Though it's long... 😂)

oh i’ll do both! cause let’s be real, there isn’t nearly enough rombalt or tyvolio stuff out there.

tyvolio:

big spoon/little spoon: tybalt is big spoon, benvolio is little spoon. while i hc tybalt as being shorter, benvolio just likes to be held. 

favorite non-sexual activity: they go on a lot of bike rides together. 

who uses all the hot water: benvolio. tybalt strikes me as the type of guy to go to bed late, get up early. so he showers first in the morning, but also makes the water freezing to wake himself up. benvolio loves taking long, hot showers, but more than once he’s gone in the shower before the water’s fully warmed up, and his scream could be heard from the kitchen.

most trivial thing they fight over: i don’t imagine that they’d fight that often, but at the beginning of their relationship, they kept it a secret, so the majority of their fights were about whether or not to tell their friends or not. benvolio wanted to, he trusts romeo and mercutio enough to know that, even though they don’t like tybalt, if he made it clear that he’s serious and that he loves tybalt, they would take it relatively well. tybalt meanwhile didn’t want to tell anyone.

who does most of the cleaning: i feel like they’d do it together?

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: tybalt.

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: tybalt. 

who steals the blankets: TYBALT. he gets cold easily, so it’s not unusual for ben to come home from work and find tybalt in a blanket burrito on the couch.

who leaves their stuff around: tybalt, but only on his desk, because tybalt’s desk is a mess

who remembers to buy the milk: benvolio.

who remembers anniversaries: i doubt they’d really care? like, they’d remember birthdays, but that’s basically it.

Who cooks normally? they cook together!

How often do they fight? almost never. 

What do they do when they’re away from each other? benvolio sends tybalt hourly texts like “miss you xo”. tybalt pretends to be annoyed by it but in reality he loves it.

Nicknames for each other? tyb and ben. benvolio has tybalt’s name saved as “tybbles <3″ in his phone, but would never dare call him that irl.

Who is more likely to pay for dinner? tybalt. benvolio tries to insist that they split the bill, but tybalt pays for it more often than not. the only times benvolio fully pays for dinner is on tybalt’s birthday.

Who steals the covers at night? tybalt. ben’s woken up in the middle of the night freezing multiple times because his bf decided to become a burrito.

What would they get each other for gifts? tybalt gets benvolio books that he’s been wanting to read. meanwhile, benvolio found a box with a kitten in it on the side of the road, and called tybalt because “i don’t know what to do!” they ended up keeping it.

Who kissed who first? tybalt kissed benvolio. he was drunk, and they were at a party, and one thing led to another. they didn’t just kiss that night

Who made the first move? tybalt.

Who remembers things? benvolio.

Who started the relationship? benvolio. they had this weird frenemies-with-benefits phase for like a month, before benvolio proposed actually dating.

Who cusses more? tybalt’s everyday vocabulary consists of at least one “motherfucker” a day.

What would they do if the other was hurt? it depends how badly. for smaller injuries, both of them would be calm, but if it was something much worse, benvolio would probably break down. tybalt would be shaken, but wouldn’t show it to avoid stressing benvolio out. 

rombalt:

big spoon/little spoon: romeo is the little spoon! this boy runs on pure love and affection so every time tybalt cuddles him he’s like :D

favorite non-sexual activity: once in a while they’ll sit down and have a movie marathon, which normally ends in tybalt falling asleep halfway through and romeo eating all the snacks.

who uses all the hot water: romeo. again, tybalt doesn’t really mind cause he gets up first and takes cold showers.

most trivial thing they fight over: how often they’ll invite mercutio over. romeo and him are best friends, obviously, but mercutio and tybalt’s relationship is... strained, to say the least. they still don’t like each other that much, but try to put up with each other for the sake of romeo. still, tybalt can only handle seeing mercutio like twice a week, while romeo would have him over all the time if he could.

who does most of the cleaning: tybalt. romeo helps occasionally

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: romeo. he’s always like OMG TYBALT LOOK AT THIS SHOW WE NEED TO WATCH IT 

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: tybalt. 

who steals the blankets: again, tybalt. romeo ends up carrying him to the bedroom when he falls asleep in a blanket burrito while watching a movie together.

who leaves their stuff around: romeo.

who remembers to buy the milk: tybalt.

who remembers anniversaries: romeo. he has an anniversary for every. little. thing. one month anniversary of their first kiss? check. six month anniversary since he and tybalt started dating? check. one year anniversary of the first time tybalt said “i love you”? check. tybalt tries to be mad, but its really endearing.

Who cooks normally? ...don’t let romeo in the kitchen. just... don’t.

How often do they fight? not often.

What do they do when they’re away from each other? i feel like romeo also does the frequent texts thing, except a LOT more frequently. every five minutes, tybalt’s phone is pinging with a cat picture or romeo being like “i can’t wait for dinner tonight i haven’t seen you in so long :(” to which tybalt replies “romeo, it’s been an hour since i left for work.” tybalt loves it though.

Nicknames for each other? romeo strikes me as the type to call his partners like “baby” and “sweetie” etc, while tybalt just calls romeo “meo.” (its really hard to shorten romeo thats all i could come up with D:)

Who is more likely to pay for dinner? romeo.

Who steals the covers at night? both of them. it ends in an unconscious battle for the covers and they end up cuddled together and tangled up in the covers when they wake.

What would they get each other for gifts? every time romeo goes to the mall with benvolio and mercutio, he comes back with something for tybalt. a lot of the times they’re joke gifts, like cat ear headbands from claires. 

Who kissed who first? i feel like romeo would.

Who made the first move? romeo.

Who remembers things? tybalt. 

Who started the relationship? romeo!

Who cusses more? again, tybalt. romeo swears too, but you’d never think so considering how much tybalt does.

What would they do if the other was hurt? i’ve already answered for tybalt, but i think romeo would be really doting. like, constantly asking tybalt if he’s okay. he gets really worried when he first finds out that tybalt’s hurt, like “do i have to take you to the hospital? D:”
