“can you hear me?”

Word Count: 400

Warnings: Starvation, overworking, exhaustion, fainting

Fandom: Who’s The Boss?

Pairings: Tony Micelli x Angela Bower

I know, I know. I really dropped the ball. I got a little overambitious, thinking that I could do each prompt every day, but I was wrong. I should’ve learned my lessons from previous challenges that I’ve done.

But, I’m finally writing for Who’s The Boss? It quickly became one of my favorite shows in quarantine, and I’m so excited to finally get content out for it.

Enjoy!

Despite the fact that she had sequestered herself in her bedroom and her back was beginning to hurt, Angela resisted the urge to lay down. It felt like an Olympian feat to keep her eyes open and she thought that she could feel the bags under her eyes.

She didn’t even look up when she heard a knock at the door. “It’s open.”

She heard the door open, keeping her eyes on the papers until she heard the person entering speak up.

“Dinner’s gonna be ready in five,” Tony told her.

“Just put some leftovers aside,” Angela waved off, despite the hollow cramping that was building up in her stomach.

“You said the same thing yesterday,” Tony reminded.

Angela sighed. “Tony, I’ve been stuck on this pitch for days, and I’m finally close to a breakthrough.”

Tony leaned over the side of the bed to look at the mess of papers scattered across it. “The convenience store account? I thought Mona...”

“Well, it turns out that she had a good excuse for not coming into work this week-- the flu,” Angela muttered.

“Angela, you still need a break,” Tony tried to convince her.

Angela shook her head. “No, I’m gonna lose my-- I’m not even hungry right now.”

She was quickly proven to be lying when her stomach growled. Her entire face flushed red.

“Ignore that,” she said.

“Kinda hard to,” he sounded like he was trying to sound teasing, but his concern was more prominent.

He took hold of her hands and tried to help her to her feet.

“C’mon...”

“No, Tony, I’m fine,” Angela tried to argue. “I swear, I’m fine--”

Her words came to a halt as her eyes closed, feeling herself falling forward without any volition of her own. Tony caught her in his arms, his chest tightening up. He could feel her ribs poking through her clothes and the vibrations of her rumbling stomach against him.

“Ange? Can... can ya hear me?” he asked, gently patting her face. “Angela?”

He began to pull her closer into his arms, carrying her bridal-style back towards the bed. She began to come to once her back was to the mattress. She looked up at him, her eyes suddenly looking so big and so small at the same time.

“T-- Tony?” she murmured.

Tony sighed, relieved. “I’ll bring some food up to you. That sound okay?”

Angela nodded. “Yeah.”

we've been running from love 🫀

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I really hated this girl in my class and we kept exchanging notes with various threats of violence on them but then on a Zoom call I saw that she kept a bunch of them pinned on her wall with little hearts around them and I got the biggest crush on her after that.

I love this so much

[Image IDs: the first tweet is from Lila Byock (@/Lbyock) from June 15th, 2023 and it reads:

Sarandos: Netflix is investing billions in Korean content to undermine American writers.

Korean writers: Fuck you, pay us.

That first tweet quote tweets the second image, a tweet from Tim Shorrock (@/TimothyS) from June 15th, 2023 that reads:

Korean writers picket in solidarity with Writers Guild of America. ✊

That tweet has a link to an article that I posted after it. /End ID.]

So, for those of you unaware: The Korean entertainment industry is an absolute nightmare. Actors have gone years never being paid for work they're owed pay on. The idol industry is terrible in all the ways. And it's honestly no surprise the industry is shit for writers as well. Glad to see the Korean writers are standing up for themselves too!

Edit: Not that anyone will see this because the post is too big now, but many writer organizations in countries around the world also participated in striking on June 14th, 2023.

make 'em swoon

eyes meeting from across the room

reaching out, grabbing their hand

a subtle wink

licking their lips

a hug that gets deeper

"hi" *raspy voice*

falling asleep on each other

coming back for another kiss

pressing their foreheads together

smile that makes their eyes soften

brushing away their hair

putting their hand on the other's neck

holding them close by their hips

pulling them on their lap

smirking in a way that suggests more

drawing with their fingertips on their skin

hugging them from behind

a kiss pressed to the neck

lips brushing against their ear

whispering to them like they're alone in the world
