Steve and Eddie are on again off again for years after the events of st4. It's never too serious, they have basically opposite schedules. Eddie tends bar and plays with his band, existing mostly at night. Steve gets a degree and moves onto being a school counselor, late nights are the bane of his existence. It's easier when they live together, but over the years they've moved in and out of the little place they share with Robin.

Eddie's moved cities a few times, tried living with the band, has been on and off tour. Steve moved back home when his parents divorced for about a year to help his mom out, moved in and usually quickly out with partners. He volunteered a few summers to live in low income rural areas and help with the schools summer programs.

They just never quite get the timing right to try anything other than casual. It's honestly tearing Steve apart, it's been the source of every break up he's had since meeting the man. Eddie however seems entirely unbothered.

Steve knows for a fact he's Eddie's favorite person. Even when Eddie is "seeing" someone else, Eddie's relationships are never serious, he still prefers to spend his time with Steve. He just doesn't get why Eddie doesn't want something real, but he doesn't push, doesn't wanna lose what he has

It's a full decade of this nonsense before the song Quit Playing Games With My Heart by The Backstreet Boys comes out. Steve doesn't really care much about the band, he likes boy band music well enough. It's fun and catchy and danceable. But he's picking Eddie up from the airport, back from a three month stint in LA recording and promoting with the band. And the air is tense as the lyrics spill out of the radio, and it makes Steve feel heavy.

The song ends but he's still pretty misty, it's only ten minutes back to the apartment. He can hold it back, and when they're home he'll just excuse himself and cry quietly on his bed. He's done it plenty of times before, this is no different, he's got this, he's good.

"Stevie?" Eddie asks softly, and his his voice sounds strained, like something's got him worked up too.

Steve can't respond, not with his voice, so he just sort of nods, doesn't look at Eddie, but can feel the weight of Eddie's stare.

"What is it about me that you don't wanna stick around for?" He asks quietly, but there's a solid quality to his tone, like this is a question he's resolved to ask many times, and finally got his nerve up.

Steve doesn't respond for a long time, as pieces slowly move into place. Eddie has always seemed so unaffected, even congratulating Steve when things got serious with someone else. But if he looked closely at Eddie's reactions now, in retrospect, with the way he asked his quiet question, it clicks.

Eddie never liked any of Steve's partners, always gave Steve an out of he needed it, was always a little petty about Steve's ex's after a breakup. The thought that maybe, for all these years, a decade now, they'd been wasting their time keep things casual was just...well it was fucking hilarious. Terrible and heartbreaking, sure. But it kick started ridiculous sounding giggles.

Giggles quickly snowballed into full hysterical laughter. He glanced at Eddie who looked hurt, which was absurd. Steve's laughter became unhinged, and he had to pull off the road. Eddie didn't look hurt anymore when he looked back, he looked furious, and he was wiping his cheeks. Steve hadn't seen tears, but the idea that Eddie was crying over him did nothing to quell the laughter.

The moment the car stopped Eddie threw the door open, and climbed out. Grabbing his duffle from the back seat. He managed to stomp a good distance away before Steve could get himself together enough to chase after him. He was still giggling when he caught up enough to grab the strap of Eddie's bag. He pulled it back hard enough to knock Eddie off balance, and had to reach out to steady him.

"Eddie please," he paused to laugh and catch his breath as Eddie struggled to pull out of his grip. "Please, baby, give me a minute."

Eddie froze at that. They didn't use pet names like that. Nothing so relationship-y. It was enough to make Eddie wait for him. Steve didn't let go though, terrified Eddie might run off without a proper explanation.

He didn't know how to explain it, the years of longing, the way he'd wanted to ask the same question so many times, how he ached for him. He certainly didn't know how to explain his reaction.

"I don't know why it made me laugh like that." He started once he had his breathing under control. "Some stupid pop song-" and he was laughing again because this was stupid. He threw his hands up in frustration, immediately grabbing onto Eddie again when his hands came back down.

"some stupid pop song had me on the brink of tears, because my stupid, broken heart-" more laughter, and Steve was getting really tired of this. "Aches for you, when you've, I guess-" laughter, "been feeling the same way. God Eddie how stupid are we?"

And with that the giggles were gone, his insides had gone suddenly still, and he felt the loss of the time they could have had.

"how long?" Eddie asked, quiet again, he was never this quite. When Steve looked at him now his face was hard to read, tears still brimming in his eyes, but the anger and hurt were gone.

"since the boat house probably, at least since the hospital, for sure. When you woke up and you were cuffed to the bed. The first thing you said was some joke about being flattered they thought you were that dangerous. I knew for sure then, but I think it started in the boat house." Steve flushed, his face hot and pink.

"God, no, that's ..we can't have been feeling the same way so long. Stevie, what have we been doing?" Tears were falling, both men crying on the side of the road, and Eddie was holding onto Steve now too.

"Didn't think you'd want me for real. Didn't think anyone-" Steve coughed around the lump in his throat. "Tried to move on, so many times. Never could, it always came back to you."

And Eddie was suddenly in his arms, weeping, getting tight words out between sobs. "Never. Anything. Compare. No one. Even close. Just you. My Stevie."

"Didn't catch all that sweetheart. You'll have to tell me the rest later." Steve whispered into his ear, and Eddie melted in his arms, nodding emphatically into Steve's shoulder.

The time they waisted sat heavy on Steve's shoulders, but he had Eddie now. Eventually they would joke about it, about pining after each other for a decade before getting thier shit together, but it was gonna hurt for a while still.

Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)

[issysfantasyworldsblog]

I can't help but believe Soap is a fan of the Backstreet Boys or boy groups in general. Their music is how he expresses his love for you.

---

Initially, you were unaware of it when you first started dating. Whenever you become angry and give him the silent treatment, he tends to say, “Quit playing games with my heart“, in his distinct Scottish accent. You give him a puzzled look as if he has gone mad.

You were a huge fan of boy bands during your teenage years, even screaming when the Backstreet Boys appeared on TV. However, you were unaware that your boyfriend referenced them.

“Since when do you listen to the Backstreet Boys?“ You looked at him curiously with his phone in your hands. “Backstreet Boys best songs“ was the name of his playlist. As you were en route to see your parents, you suggested switching the music since his phone was connected to the radio.

Soap blushed slightly and focused on driving.

“Come on… tell me. “ 

“Ach, nae, ye'll just laugh at me an' think I'm a wee softie.“ Soap glanced in your direction, his voice barely above a whisper - a rare occurrence for the typically boisterous Scottish man. He was perspiring and overcome with shame, fearing your potential laughter.

You couldn't help but giggle at the sight of his blushing face. Despite being a soldier, you were well aware of his soft side. Whenever he returned home, he would immediately snuggle up to you, grateful to have you by his side. Despite his claims of being a devoted heavy metal enthusiast, every time he was asked to name three songs, he struggled to name one fucking song. 

“Sing with me, Johnny!“ When you played his playlist and sang loudly. His cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, but he couldn't resist joining in and singing with you.

Dear The Rebound

I'm being really quiet about poly because I'm trying to manifest it. But...

In the words of the Backstreet Boys...

Quit playing games with my heart

Quit playing games with my heart

Before you tear us apart

Quit playing games with my heart

I should have known from the start

You know you have got to stop

You are tearing us apart

Quit playing games with my heart

Quit playing games with my heart and just give them to me!

Bradley and Jake listening to music in the car and Jake swipes the aux chord and starts playing I Want You Back- Radio Cut. Bradley slams the brakes and is like “wtf is that?!” And Jake explains that growing up with 4 sisters he listened to a lot of boy bands, *NSYNC being the main one among the Seresin children and Bradley almost breaks up with him because “This is a Backstreet Boys household ONLY” (Carole played Quit Playing Games With My Heart all the time and she’s so real for that)

[astro-b-o-y-d]

'Mabel would like the Backstreet Boys' Obvious take, but which of their songs would be her favorite? I Want It That Way and As Long As You Love Me are pretty obvious choices. Maybe a Quit Playing Games (With My Heart) in there for good measure. She'd probably be ALL over Don't Go Breaking My Heart when they released it in 2018.

Honestly any of the songs with the word 'heart' in them would probably be up her alley, they have SO many. Sure, she'd throw on an Everybody (Backstreet's Back) when the situation called for it, but that's on her party mix. Casual listenings? She's all about those 'I love you, I'd never leave you, you're the only one for me' songs.

This is just one Nightcore from my YouTube Nightcore channel Ichigocchi Nightcore

I made all EDs of FGO Babylonia and more Fate series songs as Nightcore, too

You find nightcores in German, English and Japanese on my channel

Hi Petty, How do you feel about getting two Atoms who are green guys at the same timeee?! (One is a possible green of course👍🏻🥲)

First off, every time one of the characters says "Atom," I hear "Adam" but kinda like the Spanish version "Adán" and I just needed to let you know that. Do what you will with that information.

Next, I love the possibility of two Green Guys named Adán! By time we get rid of Korn and move onto another name. Also, Thailand is greatly lacking in Green Guys!

Green Guys were basically non-exist in Thai BLs up until this last year.

But even then, I had to squint to see it since Thailand plays funky games when it comes to Green Guys for some reason compared to all the other color-coded characters.

Korea and Japan like Green Guys (paired with Blue Boys), but if Thailand wants to give me more color diversity, I'm all for it. However, the issue is I have to be able to tell they are a Green Guy.

So I'm super happy that The Rebound's Atom is an obvious Green Guy.

Even his promo poster solidified that.

But My Love Mix-Up's Atom falls into that Thai trap of "What the Fuckery?" because even though the Japanese version of this story had the character's color emerge throughout the story, the character was never other colors. He was lacking color.

But in the Thai version, Atom has worn green.

He has worn red, which is a Thai favorite.

So he could be Christmas for all I know!

Once again, What the Fuckery, Thailand?!

It's like Wandee Goodday or a Mika song - "I've gone identity mad! I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky, I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like. Gotta be green."

GET 👏🏾IT 👏🏾TO 👏🏾GETH👏🏾 ER!

I want this Atom to be a Yellow/Orange Oddity, but if he is a Green Guy, can GMMTV make it obvious and stop being a Backstreet Boy aka "Quit Playing Games with My Heart"
