OMGGGGGGGG

YOU ARE MY QUEEN

I AM JUST SAYING

THOUGH FUUUUUUUU HOW DO YOU WRITE SO FAST

BUT ANYWAY I LOVE YOU

omgggggggg you cannot expect coherence right? right, okay.

so much excellence packed into so small a space. the way Rafa's tattoo is sort of about how he doesn't want Thiago to leave him and Thiago just gets that instinctively even though he doesn't really realize it.

no one else is more important to him than Rafa is, and if Rafa ever asked him to stay anywhere, he would.

I may be crying a little at the sheer perfection here.

and then the crack about getting a back tattoo of Jona's face so he won't be jealous! and "Quit trying to take advantage of me." and just, this visual image of Rafa and Thiago all snuggled up in Thiago's bed and Rafa stealing the covers. PERFECTION. I love this, and you. <333

i squinted and it was lovely

okay, all of this was just, yeah. Their shoulders and hips touch.
brb swooning, bring smelling salts

"Jona's gonna be so pissed," he says, and he doesn't even have to explain it. Rafa laughs.

"My next tattoo will be an entire back piece, then," he says, "of just his face."

i want to read all the words of jona, thiago, rafa being bros in any fashion. which brings me to something that i feel like i always say, but seriously, your dialogue. thank you for having believable male words.

!!! :)

omg, their little threesome of bros is so fantastic, i hear you. like, i didn't know anything about them until i filled that one prompt, and like, how did i not? how did i not. they are fantastic.

thank you for reading and commenting, boo :)

i don't have a good comment here because this is too great for words, but i just read it literally 5 times, so there's that. i loved that they thought about jona right in the middle. and the line about thiago knowing rafa's face anywhere. all of it, really, so perfect!

[luxover]

in my heart of hearts, thiago, rafa, and jona are like the three musketeers only hotter, richer, and more adorable, so ofc they thought of jona, haha

i've read this about three times so far and i love it just as much every time. i just love how sibling-like they are here. that sounds strange to say because they are siblings, but i feel like you just nailed their relationship, how intimate yet bro-y they are, if that makes any sense at all. basically, this is perfect.

[luxover]

ahhhhh thaaaaank you!!! i feel like my favorite part about them is that they are siblings, so i really want that to, like, shine through or whatever, because no one knows you in the same way that a sibling does, you know? especially someone close in age, that's been there almost the whole time.

anyways.
