The cast reading Rames/Elippo Fanfiction
ššššidc what u write about i just want some elippo angst !! cause i love being in pain!
The first time Elia and Filippo break up, itās about ten months into their.. whatever. The whatever is because Filippo absolutely refuses to label what they have as a relationship or a friendship or even a hookup-manship. Elia exists solely as his⦠well as Elia. And heās content with the whatever it is, as it stands. No rules, no exclusivity, nothing to add weight to the idea of permanence, of ownership. Heās perfectly content to ride out their intense connection for as long as they can as is.
Elia thought he was fine with that for a long time. He was delighted that he could have Filippo whenever he wanted, but also felt no pressure to refrain from experimenting, to see and flirt and kiss pretty girls and pretty boys whenever he wanted. It also didnāt hurt that often he and Filippo were in it together, pointing out pretty young things for the other to seduce. A sort of modern romantic game.
But then the weeks and months pass, and Elia is now spending more time in Filippoās bed than his own. His phone is now full of silly pictures of Filippo and texts to Filippo and texts about Filippo and well-
Elia is tired of this nebulous thing.Ā
Itās easy to him. He wants Filippo and he hasnāt wanted anyone else for a long time. (To be quite honest, he doesnāt think that heās ever really wanted anyone else since meeting him.)
So he begins to broach the topic of a real, real relationship. First as a joke when theyāre both drunk off their asses and climbing each other on the bed (ājust think, this could be yours and only yours⦠what do you say?ā) The next time is over a random text conversation (āI was thinking we could do like a couples vacation with Martinico?ā)Ā
Finally, Elia brings out the big guns. He dresses nicely and cooks a good dinner with all of Filippoās favorite things (things he knows because believe it or not, he knows almost everything about Filippo and he knows Filippo knows all of this about him too). He opens wine and lets is breathe and greets a wary Filippo with a kiss when he walks through the door.
It takes almost every ounce of courage in Elia to do it. To air all of his wants and dreams and hopes for them as a couple on the table. To look intimidating, strong Filippo in the eye and know that he might be costing himself the greatest relationship heās ever had. But he does it because he knows that they could be so much more than they are. The same, but stronger. Better.Ā
So he lays it all out.Ā
And Filippo remains silent. Wine glass clenched in his hands, coffee-brown eyes averted. When he finally does speak, his voice is hoarse and simple,Ā āI canāt⦠I canāt do this. We work just how we are. Donāt complicate things. Please, Elia. Just leave it alone.ā
Elia thinks he can hear his heart actually break. He wonders if Filippo can hear it too.Ā
But the thing is, he loves Filippo more than he ever thought he could love anyone, but he also knows that he canāt do this anymore. He canāt bask in this relationship, immerse himself in this love, if Filippo already had one foot out the door.
So Elia sniffs, and gently gets up from the table and walks out the door.Ā
Jens still isnāt exactly sure how he went from flirting with the hot girl at the bar to waking up next to a guy who is admittedly very pretty in his own right. Heās not sure what heās supposed to do next, what this even means about his sexuality, or if he should even try to explain it.
Literally my sister and I in a nutshell
Filippo: Vegetable oil is made from vegetables, coconut oil is made from coconut, so baby oil-
Eleonora: Canāt we just have a nice family dinner for once?
If you ever catch me randomly laughing at nothing, it's because I remembered that comic panel where Tim is like "my girlfriend is pregnant" and Dick just falls off the fucking roof.
Quokkabbit were so cute I couldn't help it
āaemond is evil hypocritical and insane in the bookā what if completely and utterly abandoning the cause he dedicated his entire life towards the second an evil witch milf walked into the room was the realest thing anyone in that family has ever done
