dead poets preferences

❤︎︎ when they realised they liked you ❤︎︎

charlie:

❥ you were covering a pretty difficult topic in your tutoring session and charlie, no matter how much you helped him, just couldn't get it
❥ this would usually put him in a bad mood, meaning he'd be more argumentative than usual
❥ but it was like he'd just switched, dropping his usual attitude and just laying his head on the desk in defeat
❥ "come on lazy, how are you gonna pass trig if you can't even do this?"
❥ "guess i just won't pass then."
❥ you immediately knew something was wrong. the charlie you knew would come back with some quick-witted response and insult your teaching ability, but this charlie just gave up
❥ instead of pushing him, you took a seat and rested a hand on his shoulder. "we can skip this part for now, it's okay. i didn't get it my first time either." you smiled as he lifted up his head, turning to the next page in his textbook, hiding his own smile with his hand :)

knox:

❥ "if i can't be with chris, i think i'll just kill myself."
❥ that was enough. this was the 4th time he'd brought her up today and you were sick of it
❥ "jesus, knox. you just have no idea, do you?"
❥ obviously he was confused by your statement, but he was even more confused when you stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind you
❥ as you left, he became increasingly worried. he didn't want to upset you, and he especially didn't want you to leave
❥ he didn't want to lose you
❥ realising his feelings, he had rushed out of the room and went to find you to make sure you knew exactly how he felt about you

meeks:

❥ you were watching a movie on meeks' bed, you on your stomach while he sat next to you
❥ he was absentmindedly running his hand up and down the back of your thigh, something he'd done for years. when he was focused on something, it seemed his mind was more focused on being close to you
❥ you turned your head, looking over your shoulder at him
❥ his attention immediately went to you
❥ you didn't say anything, just smiled. his hand stopped just above the back of your knee as he asked if you were okay
❥ "no, keep going,"
❥ he thought his face must've gone bright red and when he continued, he made sure to be as gentle as he could

neil:

❥ when you told him that you had had a crush on him too, that was that
❥ he'd been away from you and now that he had you back, he wasn't gonna lose you again
❥ obviously the feeling was mutual
❥ he had laid in bed that night, trying to remember as much of your time in elementary together as he could
❥ he realised how many of your signs he had ignored
❥ always wanting to hang out, picking him for partner projects, laughing at all of his dumb jokes, putting up with his bad days
❥ he looked over at your sleeping figure across the room and just smiled to himself <3
