Shades Of A 106
Naked Anwar is so determined to woo Chris he’s forgotten that he’s naked. But that doesn’t matter because a JD Flashback has covered his dignity.
It’s surprisingly hard to find a list of classic wooing techniques online without wanting to punch yourself in the face after reading the advice.
I have the same hair as Past JD! XD
Groovy.
great line! “i grew up on 90’s romantic comedies, i’ve been preparing for this my whole life!” it’s so sweet and comedic of itself..that you can joyously look forward to the epic disaster this may create :) thank you tab!
Long walks on the beach, picnics, handmade cards/love notes, a mailbox full of tictacs (see Juno), a day at the museum. It’s not that complicated.
Btw, I reread all of the early stories and I found what I think is lacking in later Shades of A. Anwar’s voice. Early stories had a very definite point of view. Mark’s take was very distinct from Steve’s and you could feel their personalities. Shades of A started with Anwar voice overs, but now it’s more of an omniscient story and I don’t feel his voice as much. Which makes me think we might never get a Chris POV. It makes me sad.
I’m glad growing up with 90s romantic comedies actually taught me something. Anwar’s determination cheered up my morning.
Chris has pink socks!! I don’t know why I’m surprised.
I NOTICED THEM TOO AND AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THEM FOR SOME REASON
I’ll take your present if Anwar doesn’t want it, Past JD. (Wait, what? *hides in corner*)
Well, this is tense.
FEAR THE CLENCHED FIST OF DETERMINED WOO!!! :-D
Right? I see suddenly Michael Bay style wooing, gifts flying toward Chris and exploding. And Anwar says, “I totally wooed your brains out.”
If I could thumbs up your comment I totally would give it all my thumbs!!
In your course of looking for wooing stuff online, have you found anything actually good? I’d love to be wooed but my boyfriend has absolutely no idea how to, and I’m having a hard time explaining it to him.
These flashbacks always make me feel sad…I suppose because I anticipate Anwar feeling sad about them (or during them). I feel like naked but trying to make things more right with Chris is a really bad time to remember something (potentially sad/hurtful) with JD. Not that he can control it of course…it just seems really inconvenient and potentially depressing. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong though…
Maybe it’ll give him some perspective on the past-bad? Like, he’s actually being asked about what HE likes, not just presented with what he apparently SHOULD like and feeling trapped into feigning gratitude and/or like a freak for not being happy over whatever past-JD got him (is it a blowjob? Bet it’s a blowjob). Suddenly being shown that he in fact is allowed to have a preference and to have his own preferences taken into account could make him see he wasn’t the bad guy for not being able to enjoy what was thrust upon him previously.
This is wonderful. That’s all I have to say.
JD, love
*love your hair!!! :D
