#so you could have the case and phone seperate easily without actually taking off the rubber part from your phone

[tinyorangepotato]

I'm so sick of my new phone. The hotspot keeps turning on automatically and it turns off my wifi (which make sense) but also my fucking data too so I just will be using my phone and it'll say "mmm no internet :)" and I gotta turn off the hotspot then on the data again.

I've tried all I could think of the fix it. Hell I turned on data saver and it will not let me click and turn on my hotspot while the savers on. Yet the hotspot doesn't care. I'll see the icon pop up in the top right and then no internet so I gotta turn off the saver then off the hotspot then data back in. That's not how it supposed to work.

Went into the store I got it and he reset my network settings and it did nothing. And this only happens it seems when I'm using my phone. If it's just sleeping and everything it doesn't turn on.

Its very frustrating and I guess I'll have to go back and put in a claim ticket or some shit. Idk what could even be causing it.

(A/n: this might be a little biased since I’m in love with this man & I’m basing the relationship parts of this on my mc/myself so hope y’all don’t mind 😬)

IG info/bio: @/lucas.koh | 93.1k followers | for business inquires please visit: kohptr.com

LUCAS KOH —

27 (28) years old

From Oxford, England

Father is Korean & a car salesman at a Nissan dealership, he’s a strict/serious man who has high morals but beyond that he can actually be a softie in rare moments (+ that’s who Lucas gets his height from 🤤)

Mother is actually Chinese but lived in Korea studying abroad and eventually became a successful chiropractor (s/o to doctor mondragon on YouTube who I watch to help me sleep some nights and wish I could see! Lol) with her own practice. She’s a firecracker, intelligent, and quick to say what’s on her mind and doesn’t care if you like what she’s got to say. Most patients like that about her, she’s honest and her family is used to her ways but in the same way it’s more loving than offensive? (Smol woman but will remind you when she’s cracking your body she’s got enough power in her)

Either he’s a only child or he comes from a family of all boys with two younger brothers (they’re all in their 20’s) or he has one younger brother and one younger sister idk you decide

I’m feeling like he’s a Sagittarius? Carefree in the terms of he wasn’t viewing finally getting with MC when she’s dating someone else as cheating. Mans was READY to risk it all for me okay and I was down for it but ofc I had to react realistically and NOT “cheat.” *sigh* one part of me was debating ‘are we really dating tho bobby? We’re on reality tv. We’re not gonna die without each other if we hang out in seperate rooms’ *cough* Nope. but I’m a woman about her loyalty

He’s definitely adventurous. I don’t see him as the type to want to stay home all the time even tho his work definitely keeps him busy/exhausted. He’s down for road trips 💯

Occupation? Physicotherapist. His mother inspired him to get into the field and watching sports + the way players got their injuries always intrigued him? So to provide the best plan to have someone heal was something he loved to do plus being hands on while teaching/helping was a passion for him + I feel like he would also use a massaging technique instead of the usual exercise part of it

Now as someone who suffered a ACL & Mensicus tear & is STILL dealing with this BS pain years later, I would be so thankful to have him around! I feel like he’d have a optimistic attitude towards his patients and that’s what people need not someone that’s insensitive (like my surgeon/PT’s I had)

He models from time to time, when he was first approached about it he was upfront about not wanting to do it. It was much different than getting your picture taken for the office. That’s usually quick, the whole modeling process felt longer but somehow he was talked into it by his brother who’s a photographer and his mother. “Do you think you’re ugly? ‘Cause I’m not and you’re a part of me, so therefore there’s no such thing. Just look at your cheekbones, your jawline! I gave you those. The only good thing your father gave you was height.” Which filled the house with snickers while Lucas’ father just rolled his eyes and continued reading his newspaper for breakfast

Has a motorcycle and some luxurious car—not a Tesla those are basic now 🤷🏽‍♀️

Loves his motorcycle so much he’s got a tat of it on his right bicep

He has two available parking spaces in his parking garage at his penthouse but keeps his bike away in a storage unit due to a neighbor scratching it after his girlfriend broke up with him? Saying she was off to date Lucas? But that wasn’t true at all. He barely knew the girl, they didn’t live on the same floor. People were crazy but if you push him his temper might come out

Owns a leather jacket that he paid a lot for

Believes in “treat yo self” if it means in quality when shopping and has no issue being a big spender but he knows how to manage it well (his father told him all about how his own father dealt with bankruptcy)

Since he’s often at the office the whole day, he’s usually a night owl. He loves night drives and night dining. That’s usually when he finds the best places to eat

There’s this one pho spot that he loves and it’s his go to spot when he wants something quick on the way home

Cannot sleep with his entire body covered in covers, either his arms/shoulders have to be out or his legs, which would be a issue for me/mc since I sleep with the covers over my entire body...yes even in hot weather with the AC cranked up😂

He also makes great kimchi fried rice & loves Italian food

Will wine and dine. I believe it. I envision it! He loves going out on dates with his significant other (If he’s single and not with me, I think he’d try out speed dating)

Will dress to impress, will buy you a new fit he wants to see you/us/mc in especially if it’s your anniversary

Loves taking bubble bath’s with infused oils or flower petals with significant other

He’s the type that takes long showers & it brings him a true sense of freedom. He’s never able to take a quick shower, he gets lost in his ideas of what to do next in this world & it’s limitless

If he’s in for the day, which usually doesn’t last long—he’s either in sweats or in a robe all day

Only drives his bike on the weekend or if he’s going out of town but if he’s going on a trip for a couple of days with MC & if she’s got a bit of anxiety like me? He’ll stick to his car to make them comfortable

I feel like he enjoys the winter season. Maybe if it’s a slushy rainy winter more than a blizzards/snowy season. He loves bundling up, much to people’s surprise. He’s more than just his good looks and body love island fans!!!

Doesn’t post much on his socials. If you need to see what he’s about then you should do so in person or already know who he is. The internet can’t tell you much, in his opinion

Keeps himself in good health, I mean duh what kind of PT would he be 😉 goes on night jogs with reflector clothes on & occasionally morning jogs & at home workouts

Probably will date someone younger than him. Not by much, I don’t think he can take immaturity well. (That maybe how he views it) The most is 4 years younger than him

Henrik is his best bud from the show. They hang out all the time, crash at each other’s places, and vacation together all the time. They will be each other’s future best men forsure

Doesn’t go out of his way to talk to the rest of the guys from the show but if he happens to browse his feed and sees something he wants to comment on then he’ll carry a conversation of course

Far as the girls? He talks to Hannah & Priya from time to time. He also follows Hope and they like each other’s posts but not much communication is there either?

Either has a mint or black phone case, probably a Samsung galaxy user

Likes pistachio frozen yogurt but he’s lactose & doesn’t want to believe it :(

Smokes cigars when he’s out with his boys

Has a tight knit group of friends, majority of them are from the medical field since they all went to uni together + most of them are also married so the pressure is so on

*He’s the oldest out of his sibs so according to his parents he’s expected to be married first yet his baby sis is engaged and she’s 23*

wants a family...eventually. Probably will happen in his early thirties? The max for children is 2 for him. He knows they can be a HANDFUL due to his own friends who have kids + he’s a godfather and he’s babysat before so he knows how it goes!

enjoys his freedom as stated which further proves he’s a sag lol

Enjoys going to saunas to cleanse his pores/ get rid of toxins. It’s the easiest way for him to do so even tho his brother clowns him for it

His love language is deff physical touch. He loves hugs and resting his chin on top of your head, forehead to forehead, his nose pressed in between the space of your neck and shoulder, gentle squeezes, sitting next to each other with your legs touching, cuddling, sleeping on top of you or you on him, etc

He loves kissing. It’s automatic for him and it can also easily rile him up

Has strong opinions & will show them but will feel like he’s being attacked if it brings on a confrontation/argument

Will forgive and forget

Plays strategy board games

Makes his own natural healing creams & gives samples to his patients depending on their needs

His fav colors are: blue, white, & grey

Will grow a bit of facial hair in the cooler months if it’ll make mc happy (I’m a sucker for facial hair but hate it on myself lmao) but if he dislikes the feeling on his face he will shave and finds he likes a shaven face better, the facial hair makes him look a bit older—which is okay but that’s just his preference

When he stops putting gel in his hair/styling his hair in a quiff hairstyle it shocks fans with mc commenting on one of his pics, “you’re welcome x”

Likes going to the Hard Rock Cafe on causal weekends

also likes getting freaky in public, down for whatever 🤪

He’s a traveler so if he leaves the UK, I’m seeing him land in Toronto, Canada first and falling in love with it. I feel he would vibe well with the culture there, might even consider getting a vacation home in that location

Celeb crushes? Anne Hathaway, Beyoncé, Lupita Nyong'o, Anna Diop, Imaan Hammam, Jodie Comer, Megan Fox, Shay Mitchell, & Cassie Ventura Fine

Oh Lucas. I feel like we have similar tastes? Somewhat. He probably listens to more rock than I do? Maybe 80s rock moreso? & He listens to: WALK THE MOON, Allen Stone (his fav) , Emily king, Gavin Turek, Melanie Fiona, THEY., DPR live, & Sik-k

Anthem = Young the Giant, “Something to believe in”

[wordsdrippinginink]

@myladyday who requested marcoace high school sweethearts that reunite when they're like 40, because of the new pictures. Which ended up, after discussion as a Bones au (kind of)

“Why is Luffy asking me to convince you to go to your high school reunion,” Marco asks as he steps into Ace’s office, stepping immediately to the right, catching sight of the rubber band in Ace’s hands right before it went flying. He doesn’t laugh when Luffy whines, but he considers it. “I was just curious.”

Ace snorts as he turns back to his computer, “I haven’t gone back home in years, my parents were hoping if Luffy convinced me to go the reunion that I would come home for a few days. Not that they don’t come to visit me, but they’re retired now and they don’t like coming to D.C.”

“And they think Luffy can convince you?”

“Luffy’s my favorite cousin, I’ve been doing what he’s wanted since the day he was born. He’s the reason I was a pirate for Halloween until I was thirteen and decided to be a vampire because those were cool. Please say that you have a case so I can tell them work is keeping me?”

“No case sorry, just came to ask you if you wanted to have lunch.”

“Lunch sounds good,” Ace sighs, like he had actually been hoping for a case instead, saving his notes and locking his computer. “You would think that being a Forensic Anthropologist would leave me with less paperwork, but I swear I have more than I could have imagined when I decided this was what I wanted to do with my life,” he pauses over the cowboy hat before shoving it onto his head and grabbing the leather jacket over the back of his chair.

“I swear you dress like you’ve forgotten how old you are,” Marco says letting Ace lead the way out of his office, ignoring the gesture towards his tie..

“I’m forty, not dead Marco. So, the diner?” Ace asks waving to the rest of the people in the room.

Marco hums, “If you want. Honestly I just wanted to have lunch together, I could care less what we actually eat. Unless it’s that taco place that murdered us both three weeks ago. I put my foot down, we are never going back.”

“I called in the health inspector, they were closed down four days ago. And they weren’t even real tacos, culturally-”

“I love you, but if you give me one more cultural lesson on tacos, I will leave you here without lunch.”

“Fine, food now dumbass.”

Marco smiles, watching as Ace relaxed, no longer as tense as he had been when Marco had arrived. A smile playing across his face as he shoved his hands into his pockets and walked faster, heading right for the diner and smiling at the woman behind the counter before stealing their usual table. The one in the back corner that wasn’t easily visible from the windows.

“So why don’t you want to go home?” Marco asks, taking his seat.

Ace sighs, pushing his hat from his head, scrubbing a hand through his hair, “I don’t like seeing everyone from back then. I wasn’t the best student back in the day, not that I was dumb but you know how dumb high schoolers are.”

“I too was once in high school,” Marco agrees, resting his chin on his palm. “Did they not expect you to get this far?”

“A couple used to joke that I would be using my dad’s name to go places in life. Those ones weren’t my friends but it stuck with me, I use my mom’s maiden name academically. If I go back, I have to either correct everyone or deal with them using my dad’s name. And if I go back alone?”

Marco snorts, “That bad?”

Ace nods, smiling politely at the waitress and giving his order, “I had a boyfriend in high school and everyone thought that we would get married or something one day. He graduated two years before me and the distance and life caused us to break up. We were friendly about it, we still cared about each other, but,” he shrugs. “We were kids. They always ask if they should try and find him for me, like it’s a bad rom-com.”

“Instead of a good rom-com?”

“I love you and I know you’re a smart man, but shut your mouth before I gag you.”

“Kinky,”

Ace rolls his eyes and Marco hides a grin, “Won’t be if I go through with it. Which is the other reason I don’t want to go, the one person I would want to come with me-”

“When is it?”

“Three weeks,” Ace answers spinning his coffee cup in his hands.

Marco hums, “Might be able to get some time off, just to escort you to your reunion. Of course, I would expect to be compensated for it.”

“Compensated, huh? I don’t know, it’s only three days. Maybe I should just say that I’m not coming.”

“Well, I seem to remember my boyfriend asking me to do something for him and I said I wanted to think about it.”

“We aren’t having sex in my parents house. I haven’t done that since high school and it’s even more awkward now than it was back then, if only because they will know and you have that stupid grin.”

Marco laughs, “You have the stupid grin, but I suppose if you don’t want to have sex at your parents house, I can respect that. We’re adults, we’re not going to start fucking like teenagers.”

“Does the FBI let you walk around talking like that or is it just me that gets to hear you like this?”

“I’m not censoring myself.”

“Honestly, I think my mom swears worse than you. I should warn you,” Ace sighs. “I should warn you that dad is pretty famous in politics and mom owns a company.”

“No wonder they thought you would use his name,” Marco taps Ace’s hand, just brushing their fingers together. “I’m dating you for you, not because of your family. And I even listen to all those rants about bone fragments and the kinds of glue that you can and can’t use on them. I think if I was here for your parents, who I don’t even know yet, then I wouldn’t have listened to those.”

“Sap.”

Marco keeps his mouth shut as they drive, but he wants to say something. Has since they reached the limits of the town, because this is his hometown. There’s two high schools and barely enough students to fill both of them, but he remembers both of them well enough or least the versions of them from when he was there, since he had gone to one and his ex had gone to the other.

“Has it changed since the last time you were here?” Marco asks because it has since his last visit almost eight years ago.

Ace hums as he waits for the light to turn green, sunglasses sliding down his nose, “The pet shop is new. I came through five years ago to visit mom and it wasn’t there.”

“Huh,” Marco can agree, but Ace’s driving again and Marco isn’t really sure how to bring up anything as Ace moves towards a house that Marco had known quite well a very long time ago. “This is your parent’s place?”

“It’s obnoxious, I know,” Ace agrees pulling up into the driveway. “I told them my boyfriend was coming, but I don’t know if they set up seperate rooms. Dad use to think it was funny when I attended this more regularly.”

“I’m sure I can deal with it.”

Ace winces as he steps out, “Dad’s friend is over too. He lives down the street, but he and dad like to go golfing. Also,” Ace pauses pulling both their bags out the back seat. “My ex’s dad.”

“You dated the son of your dad’s best friend,” Marco says slowly because if he’s not wrong, he’s not sure if he wants to be wrong, he’s accidently started dating his high school boyfriend, for the second time, and that’s his dad inside there with Roger Gol. The same Roger Gol that had scared him horribly when he had arrived to take his ex out on their first date. “Takes some guts.”

“He wasn’t known for being a coward,” Ace agrees taking a deep breath. “Ready?”

Marco nods, even though he’s sure he left his sanity back in Ace’s D.C. apartment, following him to the front door and trying to remind himself to breathe. The front hall is empty, Marco is thankful for that, and Ace avoids the loud discussion in the living room, heading for the staircase instead.

“I don’t think anything in here has changed since high school,” Ace says pushing open his bedroom door and dropping his bag and collapsing on his bed.

“Yeah,” Marco agrees because it does look like his last memory of it. “Ace, I… I might need to tell you something.”

“I’m breaking up with you if you got a text from work and want to go back,” Ace warns him. “Unless we’re both needed, in which case we can sneak back out the house and never tell my parents we got here.”

Marco sighs, unlocking his phone and flipping through his pictures to the last one he had of his dad and the newest Stefan, “This is my pops.”

“Marco, what,” Ace goes quiet and Marco thinks that he’s actually looking at his phone because Marco can’t look at him. “Jesus fucking Christ, seriously Marco? You didn’t mention this before now?”

“I didn’t think it was important Ace, at least until we pulled into my home town and up to my ex boyfriend’s house.”

Ace makes a quiet sound before dropping his head down onto his pillow, “I’m gonna fucking die. I’m gonna die and I’m blaming you.”

“You always did blame me.”

“We don’t get to joke about this yet. There is no joking about this because I am not happy with you at all. Oh god, your dad is downstairs.”

Marco nods, “Thank you for not stopping downstairs, I did not want to do this with our parents in the room. It would probably be as bad as the time we got caught in the pool.”

“Dad redid the whole pool after we broke up, because he said I needed it to be ‘untainted’. Really I think he needed to know I had never had sex in the pool before he could use it again.”

“That is exactly something your dad would do,” Marco drops his bag and kicks off his shoes. “Scoot over or I will lay on you.” Ace wiggles to the side, face still buried into a pillow. “Thanks.”

Ace breathes out slowly, “I do not want to tell my parents we started dating again without realizing who the other was. Mom will think it’s hilarious and dad will complain about how he thought I had had finally stopped making his friendship with Mr. Newgate harder.”

“Pops will laugh himself sick and then tell my siblings, who will spread it through town before we even get the chance to go to your reunion.”

“Think we can hide up here until he goes home? Unless your dad shows off pictures of you, mom and dad might not realize for awhile,” Ace shifts to look at Marco. “We’re in our forties, who talks about what they did in high school at our age?”

Marco snorts, “Most people, Ace. Or they mention their hometown.”

“Shut up, you didn’t mention your dad either, Mr. Trust Fund kid.”

“Don’t point fingers, we both know you have one too,” Marco stops. “Do you think Luffy knew?”

Ace blinks slowly, “Jesus Fuck, if he knew. He better not have known, I will murder him if he did,” but he shifts and pulls out his phone to call Luffy, ignoring the text from his mother asking if he would be home in time for lunch. The phone rings almost too loud in the room.

“Ace, I thought you were gonna go home?” Luffy sounds tired. “Did you back out?”

“Luffy, do you remember my boyfriend from high school?” Ace demands.

There’s a long moment of silence, “I know he and Marco have the same name?” Luffy says slowly. “But I could look him up for you? Did he show up in town? I thought Mr. Mustache said his oldest never came to visit him anymore.”

“No it’s fine, thanks Luffy. I just couldn’t remember his name,” Ace answers and Marco drops his head back down because at least Luffy didn’t know before they had. “Why are you tired?”

“Because I let Coby convince the lab to go clubbing. I’m too old to be clubbing, Ace. I’m hungover and tired. I’m so glad to not have work today,” Luffy groans. “I have to go, my boyfriend’s brought back breakfast and medication and I need to go cry on him.”

“Go cry on him,” Ace laughs. “Thanks Luffy.”

Marco waits until Ace’s hung up before, “I’m so glad he didn’t know.”

“He encouraged me to date you, you’re glad? I’m glad. Do you know how funny he’s going to find this? He’ll think it’s better than when Coby realized that Robin was married to the professor of engineering from the college that we’re connected to.”

“Footsteps,” Marco hisses, throwing an arm over his face because he can’t.

Ace groans and Marco can hear him hiding his face in his pillow again as the door slams open and Roger, that’s Roger’s voice, shouts at them for not coming in to say hello.

“At least you are wearing clothes,” Roger ends his rant. “You should both come down for lunch, your mother made enough because you didn’t answer her text. And Ed’s staying over.”

Marco lifts his arm enough to glance over at Ace, who’s shoulders are shaking, “We going?”

“I’m going to murder you when we get home,” Ace hisses under his breath before smirking. “Yeah, Marco said he wanted to see his dad while we were here anyway.”
