"There ain't no me, if there ain't no you."

Pre-Snowcrow, where Zayne comes home after a 20-hour shift, when MC is eating breakfast and Sylus diner. At this point, he can barely see straight and is only half awake. As usual, he goes to say hello to them, which consists of a kiss for MC and a simple "good evening" for Sylus. However, his brain is fried and after kissing MC, when Sylus opens his mouth to say hello he's interrupted. Sylus is floored. Zayne kissed him. A quick peck on the mouth, but he kissed him.

"I'm exhausted, so I won't be eating with you this time. I'm showering and immediately going to bed. Have a good day," and Zayne immediately goes to the bedroom.

Zayne is sentimental and mindful of people's boundaries. He isn't the type to steal a kiss from someone to confess his feelings. It can't be a prank either because that's not his style. But it could be MC's idea, and he might have gone along with it. He's not really good at saying no to her. However, she looks as surprised as him but is smiling and seems delighted.

"Are you the one responsible for this?" "Nope! I wish I was tho!" "Is he even aware of what he did?" "Definitely not. It'll only register once he wakes up from his 10-hour nap" "This will be... interesting." Zayne's lips were soft. The warmth that had spread in Sylus' chest when they kissed had been radiant and the smell of his cologne, downright intoxicating. Sylus bites his lip instinctively at the memory, longing for more.

When Zayne finally wakes up from his nap, he is mortified. Sylus keeps joking about how unexpectedly brazen Zayne is and flirting with him like crazy. Zayne thinks Sylus is just messing with him, but he actually 100% means it. MC keeps bringing up how hilarious it is that Zayne somehow blindsided Sylus, the boss of Onychinus, with a kiss, out of all things.

Sylus tells everyone and their grandmothers at any given opportunity that Zayne is the one who made the first move. He's so smug about it. "Sylus, not everyone needs to know" "But it's only the truth" "Yes, but the cashier was just making small talk" "And?" "You're unbelievable".

sam: I promise I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, but I’d love to have my own life to do with as I please, seeing as I have been a grown adult for many years. is that crazy? here’s your laundry btw.

dean: so you hate me then. you want me to fucking kill myself. I am dirt to you and you hate me. take the keys, I won’t need them where I’m going

fandom: dean parenting momence 🥺 sam you ignorant slut you deserve to DIE BADLY in his stead 🥺

MC: It's sweet that you pick up Zayne from work when you can. Since he knows you're waiting for him, he's less likely to do overtime and overwork himself.
Sylus: It's part of the reason why I do it, yes. But I also go to his work to crush some dreams.
MC: Crush some dreams?
Sylus: Think about it, sweetie. Our beloved is not only a genius who won several awards in his field but he's also deeply attractive.
MC: Yes, and?
Sylus: And some people are bound to get ideas. So, I, his unbelievably rich and devastatingly handsome lover, show up at his work once a week. To let them know he's very much taken and there is no way they'll win against me.
MC, smiling: You're so evil.
Sylus: You love it. And it's for the best. I would hate if someone were to overstep his boundaries.
MC: I really do love it. So much so that I want in. Give me 5 minutes. I'm going to change into the new dress you got me.
Sylus: Perfect. I'll get my most expensive car ready.

Almond Blossoms, Vincent van Gogh 

Van Gogh enjoyed the most productive era of his career during his time in Southern France, referring to Arles as “the Japan of the South” due to its abundance of sunlight and flowering trees. He first arrived in March 1888, as the fruit trees began to blossom, and immediately began painting at an almost unprecedented rate: “I am up to my ears in work for the trees are in blossom and I want to paint a Provençal orchard of astonishing gaiety.” This particular work, Van Gogh’s most famous painting of almond blossoms, was created for another special reason: the birth of his nephew, the son of his brother Theo. It’s one of the rare Van Gogh paintings in which you can see hope, joy, and serenity – which makes it all the more special.

I think one of the best pieces of writing advice I ever got was to ask yourself constantly, 'What is the most interesting thing that can happen right now?' Whether you have writer's block or you feel like you're simply moving in a generic/uninspired direction with a project. Stop, and treat your story to a little chaos.
