@Onyx_Raptor ((And what a weird coincidence that today of all days I logged into this account again... happy “birthday” 👍🏻🥳))

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day to the best person I know, @Onyx_Raptor. There is no way I deserve you or your love. You are so much better than I could possibly hope to ever be...

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor Oh maaaaaan, you’re still into GH? Soon you’ll start watching Greys Anatomy, and who knows what will come after that?!
{Tommy is so close to laughing and it shows in the wide grin on his face. He’ll never understand how he could have been so lucky to have met you.}

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

{Tommy comes home late at night, finding @Onyx_Raptor asleep on the couch, the TV still running. A soft smile curls around his lips and as quietly as he can, he switches off the TV. Next he carefully lifts his partner into his arms, not exactly easy as due to being a meta he is

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor —stop himself from grinning.}
About your taste in TV. Seriously? A soap opera?

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor —ultimately pulls back. His hand moves from the back of your head to your cheek, cupping it gently while his thumb softly moves in a caressing manner.}
We need to talk.
{Tommy goes quiet, a very serious look on his face. But he can only maintain it for so long before he can’t—

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor —disarming. And he can feel some of his usual cockiness return.}
Well, it was more of a selfish act. There’s not really enough space on the couch for two.

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor {Your response makes Tommy chuckle softly, his feeling of guilt slowly fading. He cannot think of anybody in his life who would simply be happy to see him after such a long absence. Everybody else would be somewhat angry. Or at least upset. But your happy smile is completely—

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor —their bedroom window, confirming the new day is just beginning. Tommy groans a little, his body demanding more sleep as he also begins to stir. But everything is forgotten as he feels your cheek against his. His eyes flutter open and he is met with your gaze.}
Um... hey there...

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor {Even though Tommy couldn’t be happier to be sleeping next to you, he never really fell into a deep sleep. So when you stir as you wake up, he is also pulled back to the here and now. He notices it’s not quite full daylight, so it must be before 6am. Birds can be heard outside—

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor {Tommy feels a pang of guilt as you react to his presence, clearly seeking being close. He drapes an arm over you, and nuzzles against your neck, eventually drifting off to sleep.}

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor {Tommy places a gentle kiss onto the tip of your nose as you lean into the touch of his hands.}
Just as you are in my life...

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor {Tommy chuckles as he places his hands on your face to return the kiss.}
If anyone can do it, it’s you. Nobody else has the experience and knowledge.

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor {One of Tommy’s eyebrows goes up as he cannot hide a turned on smirk.}
I’m all yours. Of course all in the interest of art.

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

Woah...! Wait...! That’s from our little getaway holiday. I definitely did not notice you sneaking that picture. Well done!

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

@Onyx_Raptor ((You have nothing to worry about, you’re one of the best RPers I know!))

[Tommy Merlyn @Tommy__Merlyn]

—Surely I must be missing something as I’ve noticed this turn into a seemingly more and more popular thing over many months now. Can someone please enlighten me?))

((I truly would like to understand what the appeal is to “reply” to others by quoting their tweets, rather than hitting the good, old actual “reply” button. I’m really struggling to understand this cos all I see is a blown up TL with convos in quotes I have no interest in.—
