when i first start shipping something: i need a heart wrenching fic that really captures the characters’ darkness along with an intriguing plot to keep me on my toes
after a while: awww yeah bagel au
Honestly the most important part of height difference OTPs: when the taller one lifts the shorter one’s chin so they can kiss them. Bonus points if it’s gentle and the shorter one wasn’t expecting it.
It’s even better when the shorter one comes up from behind the other while they’re seated and lifts the taller one’s chin up so they can kiss them.
came back from the dead just to reblog this addition. fucking slow clap. you’re right, IT IS BETTER.
1. “You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous love letter in your bag and your smile gets me through the week”
2. “I have been flirting with you since I met you but you think I’m just teasing and I don’t know how to make it clear that I actually mean what I say”
3. “I’m a musician and I play you all of the love songs I write to “get your opinion” on them but honestly I’m just serenading you and I thought that was obvious?!”
4. “You keep trying to set me up with other people so I think you aren’t interested in me but actually you’re just an idiot who thinks you’ll get over me faster if I’m dating someone else and HOLD UP I wanna date you.”
5. “You asked who I had a crush on and so I described you to a tee but apparently you’re the most oblivious person in the world because you just got kinda sad and nodded and HOW DO YOU NOT GET THIS.”
6. “I’ve been in love with you since sixth grade and it’s graduation day so I worked up the courage to tell you and now you’re staring at me blankly because you thought I hated you??? How did you think that- oh okay now we’re kissing we’ll talk about this later.”
7. “I compliment your outfit every time I see you and you think I’m just really into fashion but no I’m just in love with you.”
8. “So I gave you flowers on Valentine’s Day and you acted really flustered and confused so now I’m sitting here regretting all life decisions until you show up asking, “I mean thank you but aren’t you dating _____?” and oh my gosh u idiot ______ is my cousin.”
9. “Someone was being a jerk to you and I punched them in the face and now you’re yelling at me because you don’t understand why I felt the need to be so violent.”
10. “I thought this was a date so i tried to hold your hand and now you’re really confused and I’m trying to brush it off.”
We’ve all had that otp where one person falls in love way before the other. It starts with a lingering glance or two, then excessive worrying, maybe a little jealousy. You watch them get deeper and deeper while the other person has no idea and the whole time you’re just sitting there like you poor asshole
Imagine person A of your OTP being very upset about something and they start crying, and person B, the not very touchy-feely one of the relationship, has to awkwardly comfort them.
asahiis, I had to include your tags here because they are perfect:
hoarse “good morning”s whispered in the soft dawn light, hands clumsily finding each other through the haze of sleep
sprawled out on the couch together, marathoning so-bad-theyre-good sci-fi movies, flicking popcorn at each other to try to catch in their mouths at commercial breaks
dancing on hardwood floors in fuzzy socks, catching one another when they slide too far (the tall one stopping to argue- “you’re wearing my socks” “no i’m not” “they come up to your knees!” “… that proves nothing”)
curled under a shared blanket on the couch, watching scary movies far later than advisable, clinging tighter to one another at each jumpscare
cooking dinner together, stealing kisses as payment for anything and everything (”i need to get into that cabinet” “it’ll cost you~” / “hey can you pass the celery” “mmmmaybe”)
just moving along like everyone else
