mutual pining simply never misses. the yearning. the stupidity. the desperation while also thinking themselves alone with it. the rattling relief at the revelation. the way it works in so many scenarios— friends to lovers? a banger every time. casual hook-ups/friends with benefits while they both want more? show-stopping, spectacular, incredible. enemies who are so deep in denial it just makes them madder at each other? utterly unmatched every single time. slow burn, fast burn, burning while already fucking. mutual pining really just is that girl like truly who does it like her

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

hey guys psa regarding hospital bills

don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.

don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.

The new RWRB movie poster has the same energy as a poster for an early 2000s rom-com, and I mean that as the GREATEST compliment.

seventh inning stretch (22k, e)

“What if somebody heard you were fooling around the team’s star hitter, huh? What would they think?”

“I think,” Steve brought his hands to Billy’s cheeks, pulled him closer, spoke onto his lips, “I don’t give a fuck.”

(Or, Steve’s the best pitcher in the state of Indiana. Billy’s the best hitter. They could make one hell of a team. That is, if they don’t kill each other first.)

They were on their way to work in the Beamer and Steve was bright and glowing in the morning sun, his face dotted with beauty spots and moles and Billy couldn’t look away, even as his boyfriend kept bitching.

“—and it’s like, why the fuck does it matter how the tapes are displayed? People are gonna see them! And take them! They’re for rent, not for show, right?”

“Right,” Billy hummed with a little smirk, resting his cheek in his hand, elbow on the car door.

“So I told Keith, ‘hey, man, I think this way might be better’ - and you know what that asshole told me?? ‘That’s stupid’! He said my idea was fucking stupid!” Steve huffed with annoyance, which was Billy’s favourite way to have him (annoyed), because it was funny and cute at the same time.

But, only when Billy was the reason Steve was annoyed. Goddamn Keith wasn’t allowed to annoy his pretty boy so much.

“You want me to ruin his morning, babe?” Billy smirked, already thinking of ways he could.

Steve glanced over at him from where he was looking at the road and gave him a smile, like he was touched that Billy was so willing to ruin his boss’ morning for him, but shook his head ‘no’, “Nah, it’s fine - I’ll just put the display up how I want and he’ll deal with it.”

“Atta boy, Harrington,” Billy grinned, proud and amused.

They pulled up to the shop and Billy zipped up his coveralls, making sure to grab his lunch that Steve packed and coffee thermos before looking over to see Steve already leaning into his space. Billy smiled and leaned over, meeting his pretty boy halfway for a kiss, something soft and casual.

He pecked Steve’s lips a few times more before pulling away to admire Steve’s little half-lidded look, smiling as his boyfriend hummed, “Have a good day. I’ll call when I’m leaving the store.”

“Okay,” Billy smiled, “The boss is letting me work on my car after my shift, so, don’t rush. I’ll be here when you’re done.”

“‘Kay,” Steve hummed, and they shared one last little kiss before Billy was opening the door and getting out. He grabbed the door and bent down to tell Steve with a little grin, “And I’m looking forward to hearing what that dickhead has to say about your display.”

Steve grinned with a little roll of his eyes, “I’ll tell you all about it over dinner. Spaghetti tonight, yeah?”

“Yeah,” Billy smiled, loving that he got to make dinner plans with his boyfriend. The little things really made his day. “Love you, peanut butter.” He hummed.

Steve’s grin grew wider, “Love you, too.”

Billy shut the door and watched the Beamer pull out of the lot and head towards Family Video, smiling to himself with a little huff of amusement before turning and heading into work.

[scoopsahoe]

“So, Princess, I’ve been thinking…” Billie flashed white teeth, “You’re gonna need some extra lessons, and Robin is super busy with school and stuff, so I thought I could stay behind after practise to help ‘ya out a little.”

Billie ignored the way Robin was watching them with a knowing smirk, leaning against the rink bannister. Her eyes said ‘I know what you’re doing’. They knew each other well enough to tell when the other was on the hunt.

“You want to help me?” Stevie squeaked out.

“Uh huh, gotta get my good deeds in somewhere. Thought I’d offer our resident Cher Horowitz some private lessons.” That was a reference Stevie could understand, she loved that movie. Although she didn’t see the correlation, Alicia Silverstone was blonde.

From behind Stevie, Robin rolled her eyes, Billie had used the ‘private lessons’ trick on at least thirteen girls at this point. Billie met her gaze and smirked, saying ‘and I’ll do it again, bitch’ with her eyes.

“Wow, yeah that would be such a huge help. Thank you, Billie.” Stevie nodded her head eagerly, sending her highlighted side bangs falling into her face.

Billie stood up from her crouch and Stevie followed her up. This was the first time they'd stood up face-to-face. Even accounting for Stevie being in skates and Billie being in chucks, their height difference was really something. Stevie was at least a head taller than her, with the stupid Barbie skates she towered over her.

Call Billie Jenga, because she was more than ready to topple that tower.
