VAUGHN TO GARETH ABOUT YULIAN 😂:

Y'ALL, I HAVE A PLAYLIST FOR VAUGHN YULIAN. OBVIOUSLYYYYY I'M NOT OBSESSED WITH THEMM 😌. Who would think that 😭.

(Anyone have any other songs that they js associate with V and Yulian??)

Yulian: I'm not you're problem

Vaughn : Be my problem

AT THIS POINT, IMMA START A PETITION FOR VAUGHN TO BE A BIKER. Bro I can imagine scenes with him as a biker scattered in HTV.

LIKE FOR EXAMPLEEE, YULIAN AND VAUGHN GOING OUT ON A NIGHT DRIVE OR SMTHG, AND YULIAN TEASING THE HELL OUT OF VAUGHN. Like I can so see Yulian "accidentally" put his hands near Vaughn's dick or like "accidentally" let his hands wander into Vaughn's shirt while Vaughn tries so hard not to crash his fucking bike 😂.

OR, LIKE MAYBE A SCENE AT THE END OF HTV, Where Yulian is just like, so sick of Vaughn's ass always denying that he might have feelings for Yulian and THIS IS NOT JUST PHYCIAL. That he breaks up with Vaughn AND LIKE, PULLS A LANDON IN JERLAN FANFICS AND SETS FIRE TO VAUGHN'S BIKE 😭.

Vaughn: Well damn you're so petty

Yulian: You misspelled pretty

Vaughn: You're right

Gareth: I know.

Gareth: About what?

Vaughn: ...

Vaughn: I think I'm in love with Yulian

Vaughn: Any thoughts?

Gareth: And prayers

Nikolai: You're going to NEED them.

Y'ALL, I have this weird headcannon that Vaughn wears a lot of rings. Like one on every finger, minimum. Yulian acts like there stupid at the start, but then he starts getting weirdly attached to them?? LIKE WHENEVER'S HE'S ANXIOUS, HE JUST LIKE STARTS TRACING PATTERNS ON THEM. Or if he’s pulling Vaughn somewhere, he doesn’t grab his hand, he grabs a ring. AND LIKE SOON, IT'S NOT EVEN A HABIT ANYMORE, ITS A REFLEX.

THENN, THEY HAVE THIS STUPID BREAKUP THAT THEY PROBABLY WILL HAVE IN THE MIDDLE-END OF THE BOOK- and Vaughn starts acting weird about the rings. He like stops wearing them. Keeps one of them in his pocket. Maybe holds onto them when he thinks no one’s watching. And if someone does ask, he’s like “It’s just a habit” BUT LIKE, SIR, BE SERIOUS, we all know it’s because of Yulian. He won’t say it, obviously, because he’s emotionally constipated, but those rings used to be just accessories. Now they feel like ghosts of Yulian.

Guys, you don't get how much I want a "Who did this to you" scene in HTV. Like I want Yulian coming back to the island limping or with bruises or something because of his shitty abusive father, AND VAUGHN COMPLETELY LOSING IT, LIKE HE DOESN'T CARE THAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO HATE YULIAN, YULIAN'S HIS AND ONLY HE GETS TO HURT HIM 😌.

Bonus points if Yulian's trying to deflect the situation so hard 😭, like with humor or something, maybe with a "Awww, you care about me, Mishka?", AND VAUGHN HAVING NONE OF IT.

"Fell first, fell harder"

FELL FIRST, EXCEPT IT'S YULIAN BEING OBSESSED WITH VAUGHN EVER SINCE HE WAS A KID. It’s him being nine years old and watching Vaughn with wide eyes like he hung the fucking stars. IT'S YULIAN STEALING VAUGHN'S HOODIE WHEN THE MOROZOV'S CAME OVER TO CHICAGO FOR SOME KINDA MAFIA SHIT. It’s him secretly replaying security footage just to catch a glimpse of Vaughn again like a psycho. It’s him smirking like an idiot every time he sends Vaughn one of his boxing videos, knowing he’s annoying the shit out of him, but also knowing it means Vaughn is watching, EVEN IF IT'S WITH DISGUIST, EVEN IF IT'S WITH HATRED.

It’s Yulian starting fights with the Heathens just to make sure his name stays in their mouths long enough to reach Vaughn. It’s him sleeping with Vaughn’s long-time girlfriend because he knows that’s the only way Vaughn will finally, finally snap and see him. IT'S YULIAN LAUGHING LIKE A MANIAC AT THE HEATHENS INITATION WHEN VAUGHN WAS CHOKING HIM WITH HIS CHAIN BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE FINALLY WON. It’s him tracing Vaughn’s rings absentmindedly because they ground him. IT'S HIM CARVING VAUGHN'S INITIALS INTO HIS DESK LIKE AN ONSESSED LOVESTRUCK IDIOT. It’s Yulian knowing he fell first, and not caring—because he always knew Vaughn would fall eventually.

FELL HARDER, EXPECT IT'S VAUGHN MOVING TO A WHOLE OTHER UNIVERSITY IN ANOTHER ASS COUNTRY BECAUSE OF YULIAN, even though Yulian was the reason why he didn't go there in the first place It’s him lying through his teeth about “better programs” when really he just couldn’t fucking stay away anymore. IT'S HIM PHYCIALLY LOSING IT EVERY TIME HE SEES YULIAN TOUCH SOMEONE FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS. It’s him going radio silent whenever Yulian’s name is mentioned, just so he doesn’t lose it in front of everyone. IT'S HIM MEMORIZING YULIAN'S STUPID COMPLICATED COFFEE ORDER AND BUYING IT FOR HIM EVERY DAMN DAY ONCE THEY START HOOKING UP. It’s him swearing that everything is just for revenge, and then letting Yulian climb into his bed at 2 AM like nothing happened.

IT'S VAUGHN COUNTING YULIAN'S FRECKLES WHEN HE'S ASLEEP. It’s him pocketing the little dumb drawing Yulian did of him on a napkin and never throwing it away. IT'S HIM LISTENING TO YULIAN'S DRUNKEN VOICEMAILS ON REPEAT BECAUSE HE MISSES YULIAN'S VOICE. It’s him going absolutely fucking feral when Yulian goes missing and dragging half the city into hell trying to find him. IT'S VAUGHN NOT SNOWING WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT KNOWING FOR A FACT THAT IT'S TOO LATE NOW, because Vaughn fell harder. So much harder.

I can't wait a year 😭😭, I need them biblically.
