Third Time’s NOT the Charm

The first time she’d been too young. They’d been too young. He’d just gotten accepted to medical school and she’d been barely half way through her junior year of college. They had no business getting married and Priya had told him so. She would never forget the look of defeat on his face for as long as she lived. He’d stayed on Del and Desmond’s couch that night, then moved back into his dad’s place. Two weeks later he’d knocked on their apartment door and apologized. She’d broken his heart and shattered his dreams and Nate was the one apologizing? Priya didn’t understand it but she didn’t question it. After all she’d missed him. That time she’d known she was right to tell him ‘no.’ The first time that she had no regrets about.

A Very Special Day

“Priya! You came!” Delia squealed with delight, jumping down from her seat on the bar, ankles somehow remaining unbroken as she dashed toward the door.

I created this because my best friend and I are taking a trip to London! We hope to come back to the states fully British.

I had to cut it up into individual images because of tumblr’s compression… If you really need to view this as one whole image, you can do so here.

Wait what Is a Ramble? … I have never heard someone use that before, we always call it waffles. 

this is cute but what. i have never heard ‘dosh,’ ‘radge’ or ‘cozzy’…what

British people are so adorable.

Developing the Picture

Nathan hung his head. Another ear? Why was it always her ears? It wasn’t like it was a bad ear but he probably had about thirty odd pictures of the thing scattered around the darkroom. Nate could probably pick out Priya’s small-unattached earlobes out of a lineup; he’d seen them so many times.

If he were honest with himself, Nate could probably identify every individual feature of Priya’s heart-shaped face. After all, pictures of her lined the clotheslines of his darkroom. Not in a creepy way though! All he wanted was just one picture of his friend’s face but no. Priya would dodge, swerve and once even punched him in the jaw, all to prevent him from taking a picture. It was bloody ridiculous. Did she not realize how much film cost these days?

So that girl with the dreadlocks, the one that tried to kill me a few weeks back for messing with her project? She…kind of wants to murder me again. Apparently when I was cleaning up the art room the other day I dumped out what looked like a bowl full of water for cleaning paintbrushes but was actually a statement on existential nihilism.

sablerecords:

Mamihlapinatapei, noun: the look between two people in which each loves the other but is too afraid to make the first move.

She is sitting on the counter, kicking her legs absently and watching you. She looks even smaller in here, feet dangling so far off the floor it’s hard to believe how she got up there, and the dark threatens to swallow her; she fights against it with the slightest twist of her lips.

Nate: "Eventually I'm going to find my iPod, y'know. This whole fancy stereo has an adapter and I have the cable and everything, I've just lost all the music."
Priya: "I'm sure Rocco and Franc could hook you up. Though, if you asked Franc you'd have to go through a few rounds of arguing with him that MP3s are not in fact the devil."
Nate: "We've actually already done that before. Several times. And we've had quite a few arguments about The Beatles because the man is obviously a demon who doesn't like them."
Priya: "Robot actually. Or at least that's the prevailing theory."
Nate: "EVEN ROBOTS LIKE THE BEATLES. The only explanation is that he's an agent of chaos come to sow seeds of discontent and desperation here on earth!"
Priya: "He's not that bad. Once you get past the whole Beatles thing . ."
Nate: "He's a perfectly fine dude, once you look past the fact that he has no soul. I'll easily admit this."
Priya: "Well he's technically a redhead so .. . ."
Nate: "Franc's a ginger?!"
Priya: "Yep, well according to his . . . Georgie, he is anyway. Francincense refuses to admit to anything."
Nate: "This explains everything."
Somehow, Priya always managed to shut him up; he never knew how to respond. But she always seemed to listen when he did have something to say. And she thought he was cute. That was definitely progress.

How does each half of the ship fit in which their other half’s friend group? If they share a friend group, what is the group’s opinion of the ship?

Delia on Nate and Priya: “NOW KISS!”

Nate: Nate rolled his eyes, the smallest of playful smiles tugging at his lips. "I think you're mad, did you know that?"
Priya: She nudged him again. "You're no better."
Nate: He grinned wolfishly at her then. "I think I'm a little better."
Priya: Priya rolled her eyes. "I"m not the one in the crazy suspenders."
Nate: He picked up his head, still grinning, looking her full in the face again. "I'm not the one covered in thirty neon-colored plasters."
Priya: "BAND-AIDS and there's only twelve!"
Nate: He sighed and then shrugged his shoulders under her hand, turning to look at her again with a smile on his face. "No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I didn't mean to worry you. I'm sorry. I'm fine."
Priya: "No, you're not. People only ever say 'I'm fine' when they actually feel like punching someone."
Day #23 - Carols

“A little help here?” Priya asked, as she maneuvered into their apartment carrying a large bag of groceries. No one answered her cries for help as she walked towards the kitchen. She soon saw why. Or rather she heard.

Nate was singing Christmas carols again. She instantly shot a look of sympathy to her son, who was covering his ears in the corner. Priya loved her husband, despite the fact that she rarely admitted it aloud. However, the man could not sing to save his life. She sat the grocery bags on the kitchen table before walking towards the counter where she promptly turned off Nate’s radio.

He turned around instantly. “Where’d the music g- Priya!”

Why are you so uncomfortable being my friend?” He dropped his bag in the grass and crossed his arms, looking down at her. “I mean, yeah, I like you, but we kind of moved past that and I’m okay with that. But you can’t seem to stomach even being my friend. That’s really what hurts me.
