johnn: probably

johnn: one time it happened to me and I was so floored I got lightheaded and fell backwards down a flight of stairs

---

macaroni fUCK: are you gonna tell me why you're so scared of alex's signifs now

jmadzzz: I just

jmadzzz: you've Seen Them I don't know how you don't get it

jmadzzz: alex's signifs are Ethereal, like he is, and they're gorgeous and so good to him and they set Such high standards

jmadzzz: and they're on some weird unattainable level of half human half Divine Entity that I cannot reach and never would be able to reach even if I tried just because I'm not that Kind of person

jmadzzz: and alex!! is on that level and you're on that level and it's incredibly intimidating because I can't Get There and it's !!!!

jmadzzz: terrifying,,,,bc you're both so amazing and for some reason, even though you could have Anyone you wanted, you chose me and you Continue to do that despite the fact that I know I could never live up to what you deserve and idk I guess I'm just worried

jmadzzz: like!! alex's signifs are amazing, and I'm worried that one day he'll wake up someday and realize that I'm not That great, because let's face it I'm not, and then he'll break up with me and then it'll be awkward and ruin your relationship with him and you'll hate me for the rest of our lives and then you'll Leave me and I don't want to lose either of you bc I love you both so much and I just

jmadzzz: please stop crying why are you crying

jmadzzz: thomas??

macaroni fUCK: I

macaroni fUCK: I get the fact that alex's signifs are Deities and that trying to live up to the standard they set is kind of scary but like,,,,,we don't have to

macaroni fUCK: they're Amazing people, and we're A Glorious Mess, but alex loves us anyway, and we love him back,,,,and that's?? enough?? for me??

macaroni fUCK: also!! you are literally one of the most beautiful people on the planet and you're so cute and sweet and you're like the universe inside of one human being that Radiates light and comfort like What are you talking about ""not that Kind of person"" you are the Kindest person how dare you undermine yourself like this

Chapter Text

little lion: I love thomas so much??

little lion: oh I though this was in a different chat but w/e

little lion: like it's five in the morning but that's Okay and I just looked at my phone and it's april 22??? which means it's been six months since I started dating you??? like that's so!! stellar!! I love you so much!!

little lion: for starters you're just so beautiful

little lion: like when you smile and your lips just start to Slowly curl up like they're fighting it but then all of your teeth show and it's so bright and lovely and your cheekbones are !! even more prominent when you smile and I love it so much!! fuck!!

little lion: and then you start LaUGHING and it's like the world has been crACKED OPEN and light is pouring into the world and into my Very heart and soul and it's like music to my ears it's so bubbly and light and the way your shoulders shake and your hands come up over your heart and how it Builds from the golden Sunshine laugh to where your face is red and you're making no sound other than that high pitched whistling sound and your eyes are watering and it's so fuNNY but you HATE when you do it bc you think it's hideous but it's fucking adorable holy sh i t

little lion: and when you speak!! and your accent is like the smooth slow drawl like the feeling of crushed velvet on your skin and it feels like you're being put under a trance and I can't Get Into it bc I won't have the energy to properly Handle the situation but!! it's like long pieces of parchment that Curl at the edges and the way your voice sounds like your handwriting bc it's fluid and fancy and how you Talk in cursive Don't question me this is a fact

little lion: I Love hearing you speak, as long as you stop to kiss me

jmadzzz: a l e x he's going to die when he reads this

little lion: I'm just at his mouth I haven't even gotten started

little lion: also why are you awake

jmadzzz: me and thomas both have it set so that when you text us our phones do a really loud beeping noise to wake us up

jmadzzz: thomas currently has his phone on do not disturb bc his siblings won't stop texting him and his phone starts glitching when he goes in the chat so he can't Leave or put just that chat on do not disturb

little lion: I

little lion: first: why the text tone for me

little lion: second: why are his SIblings awake

jmadzzz: bc you text us in the middle of the night a lot and we like talking to you bc we love you

jmadzzz: second of all they took a trip to england and he doesn't like being with them, let alone in another country, so he opted out

little lion: oh it's ten in the morning there

jmadzzz: yeah

little lion: okay!! I love you too btw that's so sweet

little lion: I'm going to continue though

jmadzzz: go ahead sorry I'm getting up to go shopping soon

little lion: I still don't know why you do that

jmadzzz: it's fun for me

little lion: I

little lion: anyway back to my Overwhelming love for thomas

little lion: Speaking of kissing

little lion: you kiss me like you're physically putting your heart in my hands and it feels like a hit to the chest in a Good way and your lips are always so soft bc you're fuckin weird and rub that High Concentration lip moisturizer into your lips that tastes so Strongly of synthetic mint it gives me a buzz but that just might be the fact that you put more dedication into kissing than some people put into their careers

little lion: tbh I love kissing you so much like when your hands, which are fucking Huge btw, hold the sides of my face and I get to run my hands through your hair and you hold on to me like you'll physically leave this plant of existence if you're not Stuck to me which I am moRE THAN FOR LIKE Y E S

little lion: also I love your hair so much?? like how it bounces when you walk or do that fucking thing where you bounce from leg to leg that I used to Hate bc you were always so smug about it with your Long Legs and your fucking smirk but now it's like You are the Cutest person alive and I'm so lucky that I get to love you

little lion: and how your hair Always Smells like coconuts like Same bc I steal laf's shampoo constantly but like yours is so sweet and nice and Soft with your curls like tree branches winding beautifully out like you're made of Nature, forged by sunlight and everything good in the world like summer breezes and your eyes that shine like amber and precious stones

little lion: I'm quoting my own poetry at this point but I'm not wrong

jmadzzz: poetry??

little lion: I have a 300+ piece Collection of disgusting love poems about my signifs I wear Many hats james

jmadzzz: would you ever let me read any??

little lion: No

jmadzzz: fair enough

jmadzzz: that's understandable

jmadzzz: I love you

little lion: and then the day after that you always come into work and you're slumped over and you look So Sad and I love you so much and then we sit on my office doing Nothing when we should be,,,,yknow,,,,,working,,,,,but I just hug you until you're Okay and you're so warm and cute and you do not Fit on the couch in my office bc you're so Tall I love it so much

jmadzzz: oh dear

little lion: you're so!! fucking cute!! you're like the human version of when you have a really big Crush on someone, and then they smile and your heart does the flippy thing four million times over bc holy shit!!! and you smile back like an Idiot bc they're so infectiously beautiful

little lion: I remember the first time I ever actually made you smile tbh

little lion: and I almost had a heart attack

jmadzzz: d a r l i n g

little lion: it was like a fuckign diVINE INTERVENTION and I had been ABSOLVED FROM MY SINS AND THE WORLD CRACKED OPEN AND  T H E N  ID BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE HEAVEN ON EARTH THAT IT IS YOUR LA UGH

little lion: your laugh!! is like a summer thunderstorm set to music the way it rumbles in your chest and becomes a symphony of Beauty and everything warm in the world and how your shoulders shake and you get the little wrinkles on the sides of your eyes and Your hands come up to your stomach and it's just so Breathtaking to watch you laugh sometimes I Can't even laugh with you bc I'm so Taken by it

little lion: and sometimes when you laugh and I Don't and you notice and then we just kind of stare at each other for a moment and then you!!! kiss me!!! and it's So Gentle with your hands on my back and it feels like the Good kind of burn and like watercolor paint bleeding into too thin paper and like candle wax melting and falling on dark wooden tables and everything is!! melting together into the most magnificent mix of emotions and feelings

little lion: like the first sip of hot chocolate that fogs up my glasses but that's Okay or like silk sheets and drinking those plastic shot glasses that come with Really Good cough syrup

little lion: the grape stuff that's like Top Level Shit

jmadzzz: I'm going into cardiac arrest in the erotic fiction section of this bookstore

macaroni fUCK: why are you in the erotic fiction section

jmadzzz: hush

little lion: and when you speak!! with your accent!! that you don't even let show at work bc you think people ""won't take you seriously"" as if your accent isn't Perfect like tf??? you're So Important??? every aspect of you is Important and your accent is so fucking Nice it's fucking Revolutionary!!! and sometimes I don't even appreCIATE IT AS MUCH AS I SHOULD

little lion: LIKE THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD IT AND I WAS LIKE ITS!! SO CUTE!! BUT I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING AS OPPOSED TO THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD YOU SAY ""BUTTER BREAD"" AND I FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR

little lion: you're so fuckign cute!! the way your cheeks get all bright when you smile and how the part in your hair Somehow entertains Trendiness but also demonstrates how Exasperated you are @everything all the time and I love it so much

little lion: but at the same time?? you use shampoo that has no smell??? which I don't get At All bc your hair smells like Honey and Pure Love but bc your shampoo has No!! Smell!! that means it's just natural?? whihc makes no!! sense!! but then again you're literally Made of Honey and Pure Love,,,,,

little lion: fuck
