I just had the weirdest nightmare, it was August the duck and uncle roger doing a late night show.. thing? They were sitting around a table and watching a video of someone making a beef Wellington, and they were absolutely tearing everything apart. The person was doing a pretty good job, but they acted like it was the worst cooking they’d ever seen. So a full 10 min of them tearing this anonymous person a new a-hole go by and there laughing their asses off.
Now I know what you’re thinking “that doesn’t sound like a nightmare?”
Well, just then, a voice from off camera tells someone to come into the room and.. HOLY SH*T it’s Gordon Ramsay!!! And he is PISSED. Turns out he had cooked the beef Wellington and was listening to everything they said. And well, let’s just say sh*t hit the fan REAL fast. Gordon turned into an eldritch beast, he had dozens of tentacles that all ended in huge knives. August the duck ended up decapitated and spit roasted over a fire and uncle Roger got chopped into a hundred pieces and deep fried like Tonkatsu. Then he turned back into a human, thanked everyone for watching and invited the set crew up on stage to enjoy the roasted duck and “long pig” Tonkatsu. But the crew refused to join him. It got real quiet, then people started running and screaming as he started to transform again. The camera went black and I woke up.
This is my first tumbler post and I don’t really know how everything works yet, so decided to share this goofy dream I had. If you’re seeing this, hope you found it as funny as I did.
No more late night Hell’s Kitchen watching for this guy. lol

Kinktober Day 23
Zapp & Sensation Play
There wasn't anything really entertaining on TV, and Zapp had watched every movie in the apartment at least three times over. So this was shaping up to be a very boring evening, since he had promised to wait for you to come back before going out.
Zapp jumped from a light slumber when you dropped the box on the ground. His head whipping around to see what fell.
"What the f&^k is this?" His feet didn't even hit the floor before you opened the box, "The f^&k is all this sh^t?"
"A box full of past regrets." You sighed, "Remember how I told you about the stuff I stashed at a friend's place?"
Zapp nodded; not taking his eyes off the contents of the box, taking in how many colorful things and different pieces of... clothing?
"Well, this is that box. Er, one of three, I got two more in the car but the boxes are kinda big. Tricky to balance and sh^t."
"Yeah, yeah." Zapp had pulled the box closer absently, "I gotcha."
"You're not gonna help with them, are you?"
His head popped up, met with a slightly annoyed look from you, "Uh, yeah... no. I'll help. Just, why is this a box of regret?"
"Don't you have a box of regret?" You stopped in the door way, "A bunch of stuff that had meaning from past relationships?"
"Naw, I don't keep up with sentimental cr%p." He shrugged, "But all that looked like normal clothes? So why not just get rid of it if you're just gonna stash it to forget?"
"Uh... this is stuff I use in the bedroom, hence why I have such strong feelings towards it." You grabbed the last of the boxes, "And why I said regret."
One eyebrow raised into the silver bangs, "Well then, why don't we just take care of that?"
"You don't even know what all is in these boxes..."
"Eh, that's a risk I'm willing to take." Zapp shrugged and started digging in the boxes by himself, "But I get to pick all the things we use tonight."
You sighed, not really having a choice in the matter. Zapp was always stubborn about all things that happened in the bedroom. But he had a small pile of the weirdest assortment of clothes, mostly gloves and scarves.
Though to your surprise, the gloves could fit on Zapp. With him wearing the pure leather and wanting you to wear the silky ones. Other than that, Zapp was the same as ever.
His hands sliding all over you, even with the leather gloves. It just, felt a little rougher. Yet with your hands slipping much faster against him, Zapp was moaning at an embarrassing rate. Wanting to take you so much faster than he ever had before... and that was saying something.
But you were having a bit too much fun with this, knowing you had Zapp in a position he wasn't too familiar with. Getting you in the mood quickly just to torment you, hundred percent his favorite thing. Having you beg him to take you all night long was such a power trip for him. But being on the receiving end of that treatment was so frustrating for the poor silver haired man.
You slipped one hand below the belt line, softly whispering in his ear.
"You wanted this, didn't you?" Zapp shuddered, not sure how he was going to deal with this, "To feel something a little different against your skin?"
"F&&&&^k yeah sexy." Zapp groaned, "Just hurry up and let me have you already..."
"Shhhhhh, you wanted this, remember?"
The strained moan that followed as you stroked the length of his dick was all too telling. For all his complaining, Zapp did enjoy how this felt. But you pulled a velvet scarf over, carefully rubbing it against Zapp's chest. Keeping the piece in place with your own chest, slowly grinding your body; both to tease Zapp with the feeling of your chest clad in velvet and to draw out several low grunts and moans.
"F%%%%%^k!" Zapp was getting impatient again, "[Name]! You gotta lemme take you now!!"
Before you could answer, or tease him any more, Zapp had you pinned down to the bed. This night might just be getting started, but Zapp was done with the fore playing.

Day 012: Letter.
Featuring Steve Harrington and kind of(?) Max Mayfield.
Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Billy Hargrove, Eddie Munson, Erica Sinclair and El Hopper mentioned.
864 words. Kind of spoilers, and I'm not proud of this one. I had to power through to finish this one.
He eyes the manilla envelope on the table, and he presses his fist against his mouth, his lips pressed together tight. She isn’t dead. Not yet. She told us that those letters are only for after she’s dead. “A failsafe,” she said. He turns away from it. Maybe if I look away from it my desire to read it will dissipate and the letter will disappear with it. He stands, and bites at his nails. I need to hear her voice, even if it’s just text. I need to hear her snark, just one more time... He groans, and snatches the letter off of the table, and rips the envelope. She’ll forgive me. He decides, unfolding the notebook paper that served as her note. “There's something I need to get off my chest. If you are reading this, I guess I died.” She writes, and he feels a tremble go through his hand. “Which sucks.” She continues, “I had so much I wanted to do. You may be wondering why I wrote you a letter, Steve. Truth be told, I don’t know. It just felt like, right, I guess? So here’s the letter. Steve, we met in the weirdest sequence of events ever. 
“We were in a fu¢king junkyard at dusk, of all things, searching for a lizard that came from a different dimension! At the time, I thought it was an elaborate prank on Dustin and Lucas’ part. The whole ‘do you accept the risk?’ bullsh!t and the weird dimensional lizard thing. It seemed like things boys back in California would do to make fun of me. But then me and Lucas ran into you and Dustin on those train tracks, and you really took me off guard. An older kid? Indulging kids in their fantasy role playing? Impossible. Then we started fortifying that bus, and you had that bat and the meat, it felt like too much effort for a prank. So, I admit I thought you guys were just insane. You called me “Random Girl,” and acted like you knew everything, with the way you fought those demo-dogs with that bat with the rusty nails embedded in it. Of course, I told myself you were just there fighting like rabid bears or something like that. But despite that, when I saw that demo-dog open its face and roar at me from its perch above the school bus, you pushed me out of the way, and protected me. You didn’t know anything about me, nor had reason to care about me. Hell, you barely knew Dustin and Lucas at the time, and yet you helped us with Dart and the other demo-dogs!
“Then when we were all at the Byers’ house, and Billy came looking for me, you didn’t hesitate for a single second. I never properly thanked you for that. You just decided you were going to be a protector, and that was it. I had always wanted a brother, and when Mom remarried to Neil, I thought it would be Billy, but he was an @sshole and never cared about me. But watching you, I think I figured out what a brother should be. My true big brother.” Steve chokes up, and a tear leaks out. Max thinks of me as a big brother... “And if you even think about telling anyone I said that, I’ll come back from the grave and dig myself out, drag myself to your big, dumb house and kill you myself. Also, if you read this before I die, you’re also dead. Now that that is cleared up, I need you to know that this isn’t your fault. I’m sure you did everything you could to save me. And I know you won’t listen and will still blame yourself, but please at least take comfort in the fact that I don’t blame you for this. But you know, if I look back, despite dying at fifteen, it was worth it. The risk Lucas spoke of, when he told me, was worth it.” Steve sniffs, a hint of a smile on his face as he reads her letter. Why did it have to be you? He wonders, rubbing his eyes.
“I don’t regret it because I met you guys and you made all the sh!tty things in my life disappear into the background. When I got to Indiana, I thought I was gonna hate it here. And I did, I missed my skate park, my friends, and especially my dad. But now I have you, and the boys, and El. I hope you find someone who can make you even half as happy as you made me.” That line stabs Steve right through his heart, like the spears Lucas and Erica made Eddie and Dustin. He grabs his chest, and he chokes out a sob. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU? He asks again, collapsing to his knees, and clutching his skull. “I love you, Steve. You were there for me when all else left me. Please take care of Lucas, El and Dustin. They will need you now more than ever. And allow yourself to mourn me. Love, your baby sister, Max.”

Can you make the characters reacting to MC just... Swearing with alternative swear words because they feel guilty actually swearing? like, instead of F***, they say duck. And instead of sh**, they say sheep or shoot. And etc. Headcanons pls :3 Thx
I struggled a bit with this so it's pretty short, still hope you like it!
Lucifer:
"Do you have the report for Diavolo finished?"
your eyes widened in realization that the deadline was today and you didn't even notice how you 'cursed'
Lucifer just stares at you amused
he will most definitely tease you with it, watch him occasionally use your alternative swear words as well just to fluster you
at one point he will ask you as to why you're using these words as he is curious about your cute habit
will indulge you in ignoring your habit without commenting on it, but he probably will smile whenever you do it
he will absolutely threaten anyone who dares to make fun of you for this...no one is allowed to make fun of you except him
Mammon:
this boy is so confused when you out of nowhere just scream "duck", because you hit your toe at the table leg
like where? he doesn't see a duck?!
you have to explain to him that you just don't like to curse
Mammon probably won't understand why, but will instead 'translate' every time you do it
"Don't worry guys, there isn't an actual duck here...they just curse weird..."
let's be honest though, as weird as he finds it, he will probably start doing it too, it happens subconsciously, because he spends so much time around you
Leviathan:
this co-op game was so not yours, you constantly failed and felt so bad Levi was still trying his best to teach you
you got so frustrated that you let out a string of 'swear words'
that time the game over screen showed, because Levi didn't even try to play, he just stared at you
when you explain what just happened, he instantly gets it
"That's so cute!!! It fits you better than real curse words anyway!"
he'll get so weirdly invested in this, like he'll ask you to repeat the words, because he thinks you look so adorable when you 'curse'
Satan:
you had just accidentally spoiled the ending of a book to Satan and panicked, a 'swear word' slipped you
you expected Satan to be so mad at you, but instead he is really calm and looks at you as if you're the most interesting thing he ever saw
"Could you repeat that? Did you mispronounce it, because I'm sure given the situation you meant to say-"
you explain your little problem of feeling guilty and he thoughtfully nods along
this man is sweet in the weirdest way, he will try to come up with new words for you to curse with so you have more options to choose from
will tease you with it every time you say one though
Asmodeus:
you knock over the nail polish bottle Asmo is currently using and quietly 'curse' while you try to fix the mess and clean up the spilled colour
you won't be able to clean much though, because Asmo traps you in a hug, squeezing your frame while he tells you how cute that was
he won't even ask why you do it, he just accepts it as a part of your personality
"Oh sheep! Lucifer please I didn't mean to have you in the background of my latest Devilgram post really!"
he will use them now too, thinks it fits his beautiful appearance more than using foul swear words
he will hug, coo or pat your head every time you 'swear', it's just too much cuteness coming from you
Beelzebub:
you mumble one while you spill some food, which Beel instantly cleans up for you
he won't even notice it the first time, only later when it happens again and someone else points it out he as well will notice
"Oh you don't like to swear? That's alright, just use whatever you're comfortable with"
sweet boy melting your heart with his never-ending support
he won't say anything more to you 'cursing' but he will have this small smile of understanding
he will go feral if someone makes fun of you though, good luck holding him back
Belphegor:
this brat will laugh so hard, when you yell "duck" while running to RAD, because the both of you overslept
"You're such a weirdo! Just say the actual curse word, it's easy! Repeat after me: fuc-"
he gets stopped by your hand on his mouth and an angry glare
will chuckle but let it slip....for now
will say the actual curse word out loud every time you 'curse'
if it really bothers you, he will stop, but you can't take away his laughing fits, it's just way too amusing to him
Diavolo:
"Is this a human thing? Only you? That's fine, it makes you just even more special!"
you let one accidentally slip, while having tea with him and he changes the topic to curse words for the rest of the day
He is honestly interested in your reasons for feeling guilty, as he never thought of it like that, but will accept it no matter what you choose to answer or not answer in case you want to keep the reasoning to himself
when he is around you, he will make sure curse words are less used, he himself uses them rarely already, as such words aren't exactly eloquent to use as a prince, even as one of hell
he tries to stay serious when you 'curse', but sometimes he can't stop himself from chuckling
he is as well one of the 'make-new-curse-words-up'-squad, a) because he wants help you and has lots of fun trying to be creative and b) because he wants to be able to use 'swear' in front of Barbatos without him noticing (he will catch on though and scold Dia)
Barbatos:
his expressions stays the same, you aren't even sure if he noticed
is he being polite and pretends he didn't notice? Did he already know of your habit? Maybe he actually didn't notice?
whatever it is, you're conversation just keeps going as if nothing has happened
"Shoot..."
yes, Barb just whispered 'shoot' after realizing how late it already was
Barb himself has an image to uphold as a butler, but sometimes curse words aren't avoidable, so he learned to use harmless words as alternatives
he didn't react, because he simply saw it as normal
Solomon:
"Seriously? You're an exchange student in hell, having pacts with seven of the most powerful demons, but use 'sheep' istead of sh*t?"
he is more than amused, and will smirk at you every time
he will also point every 'curse' you say out, like are you sure this is the right word?
he will try to get you to curse and sees it as a game, but will stop and apologize if it makes you angry or uncomfortable
will sometimes use these words as well, but he'll emphasize the word dramatically and look you in the eyes while saying it, just to try and get a reaction from you
he doesn't really care which words you use, he'll be amused either way
Simeon:
he is actually a bit relieved, now he doesn't have to worry about you using curse words in front of his child Luke
"My little lamb use whatever words you want, the most important thing is you're comfortable with it"
prays the demons or Solomon don't rub off their bad influence on you
supports you fully, but wishes you wouldn't have to use alternatives neither
Simeon does not curse! He is an angel!...sometimes he is the very strict author Christopher Peugeot though...and that one can get stressed and might whisper a small curse word
he'll try to learn from you for those rare occasions and use your alternative 'swears'
Luke:
he probably won't get it at first, but with the way Simeon visibly tenses and relaxes after the words left your mouth, he gets curious
you explain that you feel guilty for cursing and therefore use similar sounding yet harmless words
"Well, obviously cursing isn't good! But if you only use these words..it should be okay?"
will startle Barb so hard when he yells 'duck' next time he messes up in their baking session
he will have a serious conversation with Barb, and Simeon...and probably Michael...and you will get scolded as well for teaching an angel to use these words in that way...even though you didn't mean for him to start using them
just be more careful around Luke, and he will try hard to never swear again

The Seven playing DnD
Percy:
He’s everyone's favourite because he always brings loads of snacks courtesy of his mom. He is able to make up the dumbest sh*t ever like just the weirdest most creative character ideas. Some I’ve heard are druids who are allergic to nature, clerics who worship themselves, Percy would do stuff like that. His random, absolutely crazy ideas just derail the whole campaign. Whenever he asks to do something Annabeth is suspicious because there’s always more to it. He plays any class.
Annabeth:
Annabeth can’t decide whether she loves or hates Percy because his ideas result in the most hilarious situations but goddammit Annabeth planned out this whole campaign thoroughly and Percy please just go with the campaign. Like I said before she comes up with the best stories, the best plots, drawings and everything. it’s always fun when it’s with her. When she does play DnD she’s a spellcaster. Everyone makes fun of her for being the only character without a tragic backstory
Leo:
So he could be an artificer (idk much about DnD but like any class that builds sh*t). Whenever he wants to build something he goes into a really complicated explanation of how and everyone has to be like Leo it’s literally DnD it’s not that deep. But it’s always fun with him because he has such creative ideas for weapons.
OR he chooses to be a barbarian to be intimidating beat the sh*t out of everyone because he can’t irl cause he’s short and he comes up with inventions from the things surrounding the party to get them out of situation and Annabeth is like dude you’re a f*cking barbarian you’re not that smart
Piper:
She absolutely loves doing roleplaying, it’s her thing and she’s scarily good at it because her voice is really powerful because of the charmspeak and stuff. She could literally go back and forth with Annabeth for so long just. Also random thought but Piper cosplaying would be absolutely amazing cosplayer. She would be the best cosplayer. A lot of people follow her for her cosplaying. She would be a rogue whenever the party has to bullsh*t their way out of the situation they look to her and she’s like yeah i got this. But then sometimes she rolls low for deception and everyone's like oh no.
Jason:
He’s that player who actually wants to be the cleric. That’s all I have to say. Also long backstories
Hazel: Just wants to get to know everyone, the NPCs, animals, e v e r y o n e. She’s the player that just adopts every NPC she comes across and by the time they get to the BBEG she has her own army because Annabeth cannot for the life of her convince her not the befriend everyone like Hazel manages to get crazy high rolls whenever it comes to that and the rest of the seven help her because it’s funny.
Annabeth: HAZEL IT’S A SQUIRREL
Hazel: I DON’T CARE I WANNA KEEP IT
She gets really attached to the NPCs like she loves them, maybe even more than the other party members which leads to Hazel picking them over her party members multiple times leaving them to fend for themselves sometimes. P.S don’t mess with her NPCs. Just don’t. Since she’s good at art she also creates figurines and helps Annabeth out with drawing some stuff as long as it doesn’t spoil the campaign. She’s a paladin or druid
Frank:
He played Mythomagic so he loves DnD he’s memorized all his stats and he’s scarily good at keeping track of them, has amazing character ideas, has played DnD for a long, long, long time. He absolutely lives for combat, like that’s his thing and he’s amazing when it comes to it, I think he’d be a spellcaster. He gets really into it when they need to figure something out he debates for a long time, overthinks everything. especially during an attack and everyone’s like let’s just charge lol and he’s like NO when need a 50 STEP PLAN on how we’re gonna do this. It’s fun to watch. Directs all his anger about his life into DnD vents about it through DnD.
Also totally random thought but could you imagine Tyche kids playing DnD since Tyche’s the goddess of luck? They literally would roll nat 20s all the time and it would be hilarious

i saw someone on twitter say that they are gonna make lady loki loki's love interest and now i am shaking with anger (not really but yeah) do you think there is a possibility of that to happen? like i will fucking leave this fandom if mcu really does that
[opening scene of the show]
narrator: ms and mr loki are a happy couple,
[they hold hands and frolick through a field]
narrator: just two lokis, hanging out 5 ft apart, because they're not [BEEP]
[the couple is shown in snippets watching a movie, sharing a milkshake, going on a drive]
narrator: leave them alone.
[ominous notes of music start playing]
[screen fades to black]
a female voice: [muffled] Wakey wakey! Rise and shine!
[something moves in the darkness]
[the sound of a clock ticking, getting faster]
a female voice: wake up now :) you're late! better get up and at it!
[a male groan, "ms minutes? what time is it?"]
female voice, Ms Minutes: past time you check in for work! would be terribly off-schedule to have to mark today as an unexplained absence! :)
Mobius: right, right, i'll get there.
[a yawn]
Mobius: that was the weirdest f*cking dream, and the last time i leave an assignment till the last moment.
[a light clicks on, revealing Mobius in a nondescript room with mostly white furniture. the lamps and choice other items are a shade of orange. he rubs an eye, stretches. reaches for a glass of what appears to be water on his bedside]
Mobius: [eyes a speaker and camera on the ceiling] what's on the agenda for today, anyways?
[proceeds to take a sip]
Ms Minutes: Loki
Mobius: [spits out water, soaking the front of his shirt] already? You didn't return my report on the Grant Rogers' violations yet...
Ms Minutes: Just Loki! :)
Mobius: wait, like, the person??? we're arresting him?
Ms Minutes: Keep up, Sugar! You're still running late!
Mobius: [rushing, dragging the blanket as he dashes for a white compartment in the wall, where a beige-brown uniform hangs] i'm going! i'm going! sh*t, I'm not missing this--
[screen fades from a white wall to dark green, the Loki series logo shifts, dark letters float in the background.]

Danger Days - Chapter seventeen: “Falling into pieces”
Tumblr media
Word count: 7,8K
Summary: Joey talks with Matthew for the first time ever since breaking up. Gerard opens up with Mikey about his true feelings for Joey.
Warnings: Cursing, angst, mention of sexual assault.
A/N: Do you think Matthew is gonna be excited to be a dad?
Masterlist
Chapter one | Chapter two | Chapter three | Chapter four | Chapter five | Chapter six | Chapter seven | Chapter eight | Chapter nine | Chapter ten | Chapter eleven | Chapter twelve | Chapter thirteen | Chapter fourteen | Chapter fifteen | Chapter sixteen | Chapter seventeen | Chapter eighteen | Chapter nineteen | Chapter twenty | Chapter twenty one | Chapter twenty-two | Chapter twenty-three | Chapter twenty-four |
--
Matthew kept asking his mom what time it was. He had been doing the same ever since he woke up around ten in the morning. He was anxious. His whole body hurt; he was suffering from several wounds, but still, what hurt him the most was not being able to talk to his girl.
- "Hey"- Paget whispered as she walked into the room with two cups of coffee- "Hello Marilyn, I brought you this."
- "Thank you, honey"- the two women hugged for a second, then the actress walked to her friend.
- "How do you feel?"
- "Like I was in a car crash, literally"- he answered and smiled- "I'm ok. My knee is still in place, which is amazing. I thought I was going to return to the crutches for another six months."
- "You are very lucky, your car is smashed... I can't believe you don't have a scratch."
- "I have many, many bruises, doesn't that count?"- Matthew whispered, still in pain.
- "I think it does"- his friend joked- "I got you these"- Paget opened a bag and put on the bed all the stuffed animals the young man had made- "I took all the stuff from your car, I had the feeling you might need these."
- "Thank you"- he softly smiled and looked at the handmade toys.
- "Everybody says hi"- Paget tried to take Matthew away from any sad thoughts he had- "Do you know when you will be discharged?"
- "No, the doctor said a couple more days."
- "Again, a car crash."
- "Yeah..."- Matthew smiled at his friend, and she smiled back- "Thank you for being here."
- "That's what friends do... hey, can I get you something to eat?"
- "I'm ok."
- "I'm not coming until tomorrow, so I'm gonna go get you some candy for later"- Paget turned around and left the room for a few minutes.
- "What time is it, mom?"
- "It's noon, baby"- she answered and walked to him, kissing his forehead- "Try to sleep a little more, I'll wake you up when she calls, ok?"- he nodded and closed his eyes. He really couldn't wait anymore.
Gerard looked at Joey warming up at the other side of the room, her eyes closed, her headphones on. He sighed, thinking she wasn't in love with him. She had never been. Not like he was, at least. She wasn't going to be his. Not without a fight. Could he win a battle against Matthew? He was a cheater, but Gerard was married. That made him a cheater too.
- "Hey!"- Mikey's hand smacking his arm took him from his thoughts- "Why are you staring at her?"
- "I was just... thinking about... nothing, I guess."
- "I'm starting to think maybe Frank is right"- and Gerard turned to his younger brother pretending to be insulted.
- "Don't be stupid."
- "Then stop drooling. You are not fooling anyone!"
- "Come on, kids! It's showtime!"- Jeffrey walked in clapping his hands- "Joey! You too!"- he yelled, and the girl took out her headphones.
- "What?"
- "Show, now! Come on!"
- "Sorry"- the girl smiled and sprinted over the band. Frank's arms locked around her as he stood in the hallway next to the stage and kissed her shoulder upon her Megadeth t-shirt.
- "Take care"- and the drummer rolled her eyes.
- "I'm gonna be sitting moving my arms. I don't see the danger."
- "I'm just saying"- she smiled, and she leaned to kiss his cheek.
- "You make it so hard to hate you, Jersey."
- "That's what my wife always says."
- "I love your wife so fucking much."
- "I love her too"- he chuckled- "Have you ever noticed our conversations always end up being weird?"- and she smiled.
- "That's 'cos you are so fucking weird, Frank"
Joey couldn't help but laugh in deep joy for a second. She loved her job and her bandmates. She was finally where she always wanted to get as a drummer. Her personal life was a mess, though. Was that the price to pay to be successful? Getting a shitty love life and a whole mess in your head?
- "I finally get what happened with Andy, in Devil Wears Prada... I hated that fucking movie, but shit, I feel just like her now."
The kids at that show were on fire, which helped the weary band perform better. It was getting harder and harder to keep on playing after all those months of touring. They all needed to get a few days off to sleep and do nothing. Traveling was exhausting. Joey had never thought about that until this leg of the tour.
- "Danke Germany!"- Gerard yelled, and the crowd yelled right away. Mikey turned his back to the kids and looked at Joey smiling. She looked happy when they were on stage. That's why he always kept an eye on her when they were performing.
- "Give me all your fucking money!"- Gerard shouted, announcing the next song- Well, are you ready, Ray?
- "Yeah!"
- "How about you, Frank?"- and Iero made the weirdest noises on the mic
- "How about you, Joey?"- and the girl widened her eyes smiling as Gerard stood in front of the drum, reaching out the mic to her.
- "Yeah!"- and Gerard grinned.
- "How about you, Mikey?"
- "Fucking ready!"
- "I think I'm alright! One, two, three, four!!"
It felt for a minute like she wasn't the supporting drummer but one of the band. And it felt incredible.
The hospital was busy. Nurses and doctors walked outside in the hallways. Matthew was trying to concentrate on anything, but he couldn't take his eyes off his phone. They had brought him lunch already, but he wasn't hungry- and Paget had left him an obscene amount of candy- so he left the tray untouched. He only had the jelly. And only because his mother forced him.
He was weary though, he felt hurt, physically beaten. He was taking it like a champ 'cos he didn't want to scare his mom, but in reality, he was shocked. He had never realized how short life could be. He had never had any kind of experience like this before, and this one showed him one thing: the important things in life are the simplest. The ones you take for granted.
- "What do I love the most in life? My family, watching my nephews grow up, my mom... Yami, my Yami's smile, her voice... everything about her"- Matthew's eyes were stuck in his cellphone's screen as he thought about everything that had happened in the last days- "If there is one thing I need every day for the rest of my life is having her next to me. I'm not gonna let her go, no matter what".
If he could travel in time and slap himself, he would. He would also kick himself in the nuts and never go to that party at all. But he couldn't. And he had to live with it. Somehow.
Joey yelled goodnight to her friends and ran out of the van to her room before anyone could say anything to her. On the ride back to the hotel, they had all been briefed about the next day. They were leaving at seven in the morning. They had to meet in the lobby. They had press and a radio interview in Copenhagen at one. And Joey had the chance to stay at the hotel and rest. Everybody told her to do so. And she didn't argue with that, she wanted to rest, and most of all, she didn't want to be at any interview or close to Gerard.
- "Goodnight, kids!"- she yelled and waved as she ran to the elevator. Gerard looked at her with a sorry glance, and his brother caught it right away.
- "Are you ok?"- Mikey asked and raised an eyebrow.
- "What? Yeah, I'm just tired"- the Way brothers looked at each other, both of them knowing the oldest was lying.
- "Sure... just don't let your exhaustion get in the way"- Mikey stated and walked away.
- "Wait, what the fuck?"- Gerard asked, making the, most likely, wrong decision to follow his younger brother.
- "Come on, Gerard! Stop denying it! You have a crush on her"- and Gerard groaned, exhausted from the same conversation. Mainly because he was running out of excuses to prove people wrong.
- "So do you! So does everybody! 'Cos you are all telling me the same shit over and over again when I don't!"- the brothers got into the elevator on their own and continued arguing.
- "I fucking know you! And I can't believe I didn't see it before! You are fucking drooling all the time! You look like a fucking teenager!"
- "Oh! shut up!"- Gerard frowned and crossed his arms on his chest- "I don't have a crush on her. I am a happily married man! Just because you have been obsessed with her ever since you met her doesn't mean so am I!" They stayed in silence for a couple of minutes until the door opened on their floor, and both stepped out of the elevator.
- "Have you tried to get anything with her?"- Mikey asked and followed his brother to his room.
- "I don't wanna talk about this"- Gerard simply answered.
- "Which means yes."
- "No, I haven't 'cos I don't like her! I have no feelings for her!"- stains of red  hair dye were on Gerard's neck as he scratched it, tired of the conversation, and at the same time tired of denying the truth. One part of him wanted to tell his brother, to have someone to finally open up.
- "I don't want you to hurt her, Gerard."
- "Thank you for being concerned about her the most, instead of your brother"- Gerard snorted and opened his door, followed by his brother. He took out his shoes and laid on his bed like a dead man.
- "I care about her, and if you have feelings for her, you are fucked up!"
And suddenly, it was just too much for Gerard.
- "I know"- the singer whispered, and his brother's chest tightened at those words- "Do you think I want this? It's fucking agony! She stays as far away from me as possible, and she rejected me when I told her how I feel"- Gerard chuckled at his words- "Can you believe that? It's high school all over again! She keeps pushing me away each time I try to get closer to her, ever since the beginning."
Mikey widened his eyes, listening to his brother's confession, as he stood in front of him in shock.
- "You told her you like her?"
- "Yeah"- Gerard whispered and sighed, defeated. It was useless to deny the truth anymore- "I told her I loved her from day one."
- "Did you try to... kiss her?"
- "I succeeded, actually. After months of longing and thinking about it, I kissed her...."
- "What did she do?"- Mikey was whispering, not believing a word. Had Joey kissed his brother?
- "She stopped, told me to get away from her... and when I tried again, and she kissed me back. I thought, "Shit Gerard, you nailed it, she likes you too!" but then she called me Matthew"- Gerard's voice shook, and his brother looked at him, nearly shocked. Was he going to cry? Was he that affected by the drummer?
- "When did you..."
- "After the show in Valencia."
- "You sick bastard! She was drunk!!"- the youngest Way nearly yelled and kept walking across the room, brushing his hands against his face and making a serious effort not to hit his brother- "What the fuck Gerard?! She was intoxicated, and you tried to kiss her?"
- "I didn't try. I told you I succeeded! It was so good, it felt so fucking right"- the singer made a pause and wiped off the few tears that fell from his eyes.
- "I can't believe it! You abused her when she was drunk!" - but Gerard ignored the accusation and continued talking.
- "She wasn't drunk the first time, by the way"- and Mikey frowned.
- "You kissed her more than once!"
- "Yeah, that day you left me alone with her... it was so sweet, so tender..."
- "She was fucking depressed, crying, and affected by her boyfriend!! Gerard! What the fuck is your problem!! It's the sickest shit I've ever heard you do!"
- "Don't you think I feel like the shit too? I know I fucked it up! I just couldn't help it! I love her! I can't stand the fact she is suffering for an asshole who cheated on her! I need to fix her! I needed to..."- but Mikey didn't let him finish.
- "You are married. You don't have the moral to judge Gubler for cheating!"
- "I know"
- "And you love her? You are married! Don't you love Lynz anymore?"
- "I love her so much, Mikey! That's what's killing me too! 'Cos I love both of them! I wanna be with both! I need to have them both!"
- "Dude... that shit is sick!"- Mikey was shaken.
- "I know! That's the worst part. I know what I feel is wrong! I can't love Joey. I can't mess things with her 'cos she works with us and is fantastic as our drummer. But at the same time, it's like she is a magnet I can't keep away from! Like she is my earth, and I'm her moon, orbiting around her!"
Gerard sat down and started crying.
- "I don't know what's wrong with me! From day fucking one! I looked at her, and I knew she was going to be the end of me! And I've been dealing with this all along..."
Mikey had no idea what to do. He was in shock. Sure, he knew Gerard was weird around Joey, but he never thought it would be this bad. He always thought he didn't like her. And it turned out to be the complete opposite.
- "Until this morning, I was sure she was going to leave, not only for her stupid boyfriend but because of what happened..."
- "That's why she had been giving you the cold shoulder"- Mikey whispered, thinking out loud.
- "And I deserve it, I guess. I kissed her and told her I loved her... what the fuck is my problem?"
- "I don't know, but you really fucked it up"- Mikey nodded in silence at his statement and finally sat next to Gerard. His older brother brushed his hands against his face and wiped off the tears.
- "I feel I love her, you know? Like... a fucking piece of my heart I never knew was missing just appeared, and I need to keep her close, no matter what, 'cos if I don't, I'm gonna die."
- "Well, you are gonna have to learn to let that part go, 'cos there is no way, and I mean it, no way she is ever going to be with you."
Mikey was brutally honest, in part 'cos he was mad at Gerard, but mostly because he knew it was the truth. Joey wasn't in love with him. And even if she was, she would never let him leave his wife for her.
- "I know... and yet, I can't stop trying"- Gerard made a pause- "I hated you so bad for being so close to her... you are all so fucking close to her."
- "I always thought it was weird you were so distant."
- "I didn't know how to act around her. She smiles, and I have no fucking clue what to say."
- "You are fucked."
- "Yeah"- the two of them made a long pause.
- "You are gonna have to get rid of your feelings, Gerard."
- "I know... any clue how?"
- "No..."
- "And knowing right now she is talking to him, that shit kills me"- Mikey sighed. That was killing him too. But he didn't say a word.
The computer was on the bed. Joey sat in front of it, FaceTime was open, but she still couldn't find the guts to press "call." She just stared at the screen and sighed. She wanted to know about him, she was worried about his health after the accident. But she didn't know how to deal with it. With the whole "you broke my heart" part of the conversation.
- "Ok, let's do this. And you are not talking about any feeling, just about his health. It's gonna be a short call."
And not thinking about it again, she started the video call.
- "Hello baby!"- Marilyn's face filled the screen, and Joey's body shook with fear, anxiety, and excitement.
- "Hi! How are you?"
- "Great! How was the show?"
- "It was amazing! The kids were nuts today!"- and Joey yawned- "But I am dead, sorry. I just showered and put on my pajamas."
- "That's ok..."- there was a silence, Joey knew what was gonna happen, and she decided to treat it like a band-aid
- "And how's Matthew?"- she just ripped it off, pretending it didn't hurt
- "He is right here. He has been waiting for your call all day."
- "Mom!"- he whined, embarrassed. Joey had to bite her lips not to smile as she heard his voice somewhere near the phone. She felt her body shaking at that sound.
- "I'm gonna let you two kids talk. I'll be outside, bye honey!"
- "Bye Marilyn!"
Joey waved at the screen and noticed all the movements when the phone left the woman's hand. Two seconds later, Matthew's face filled the screen, and her heart stopped. He was bruised. He looked severely hurt. And yet, he had a massive smile on her lips as soon as he saw her.
His heart started beating so fast on his chest as soon as he laid eyes on her, he was sure one of the machines around him was going to start beeping. Neither of them said a word for a moment. They just stared.
- "FaceTiming him was a mistake. A normal call would have been so much better,"- Joey thought and took a deep breath before saying- "Hey, how do you feel?"
- "Good... I'm good. It looks worse than it is, maybe 'cos I get bruised a lot... 'cos I'm so white and... I'm a peach"- Matthew started rambling.
- "What happened?"- Joey stopped his rambling 'cos she knew he could go for hours.
- "A truck missed a red light and hit my car, but I'm ok, really... not even a broken bone."
- "What about your knee?"
- "It's still in place."
- "Now that's a miracle!"- Joey chuckled and regretted it right away, she was melting, and hearing Matthew's laughter like a cascade of joy didn't help either. Her heart kept racing, and her palms were sweating.
- "Yeah! I thought I was gonna have to spend another year in those crutches."
- "It's a good thing they are still in your closet."
- "A part of me knew I was stupid enough to injure myself again"- the actor smiled and shrugged. However, that movement hurt, and he involuntarily winced in pain.
- "Are you ok?"
- "Yeah, I just... forgot that hurts"- Joey nodded and looked at him. She wanted to end that call before she would burst into tears, which was about to happen any second now.
He was the father of her child. They were having a baby together, and he had no idea. All the thoughts spinning around her head were too much. It scared her to think about how everything was going to be when it came to the moment to talk about it, and she was sure that the moment wasn't that one.
- "Well, you should rest. I just wanted to know if you were ok, and..."- the girl started saying, but Matthew stopped her.
- "Wait, no... don't hang up yet"- his voice was a plea, and desperation came from each word he spoke, even his eyes looked at her with sadness and longing- "Please talk to me."
- "We are talking. You are clearly in pain. Maybe you should rest."
- "Please, don't go. I needed to talk to you for so long."
- "No, Matthew."
- "I need you to listen. I need you to forgive me."
- "No, Matthew, I'm tired; I don't wanna do this, not now, not ever. I just called to know if you were ok. I can see you are not half as bad as I imagined, which makes me happy. But I don't wanna talk about us."
- "Fine, that's ok, we don't have to talk about us, let's talk about anything else."
- "Matthew"- Joey knew just talking to him about the weather was a threat. Why? 'Cos he was charming, and she loved him. She didn't want to forgive him, and seeing his face wasn't helping in keeping that resolution.
- "Please, tell me, how was your day?"- she sighed and looked away, locking her eyes in her nails- "How was the show?"
- "It was good"
- "When do you leave for Denmark?"
- "Tomorrow at seven."
- "It should be a long drive from Hamburg"- Matthew was honestly desperate to make conversation, and the subject made it obvious.
- "Jeffrey said four hours, time I plan to spend sleeping."
- "Are you doing any more press with the band?"- at that minute, anything that came through Gubler's head that could help him keep her in line was a good subject.
- "I hope not, at least not tomorrow"- Joey kept staring at her nails, avoiding his eyes. Matthew couldn't stop staring at her, sitting on her bed, in pajama, obviously exhausted but still talking to him. That was a good sign, right?
- "You looked gorgeous at the Valencia show"- he sort of whispered and saw her cheeks turning red of embarrassment- "I told you that was a great outfit."
- "Yeah... I remember"- she sighed and looked at him, raising an eyebrow- "So, did you actually watch it? I thought you would be working at the time."
- "I stopped everything and forced them to watch you play"- Joey chuckled at those words, and Matthew felt he was a tiny baby step closer to win her back- "I wasn't going to miss it. It was my chance to see you live, and you kicked ass." The girl felt the blush in her cheeks as she looked at her fingers again, playing with them on the blanket of the bed.
- "Thanks..."- Matthew stayed quiet for a moment, just looking at her.
- "You look so beautiful tonight"- but she raised her eyes and frowned
- "Don't"
- "Sorry"- he whispered and sighed- "So... Paget came to see me today"- that was the only thing that came to his mind
- "How is she?"
- "Good, she bought me so many candies I'm gonna have a sugar rush until Halloween"- and he chuckled.
- "I'm jealous. Mikey took away all my candy today."
- "Why?"- the boy frowned.
- "He said I can't have that much sugar"- and Joey bit her tongue. She couldn't eat that much sugar being pregnant. She was pregnant with Matthew's baby.
- "What is he? The sugar police?"- and the girl slightly smiled.
- "Yeah, I guess he is."
- "How is he?"
- "He hates you."
- "I guess everybody hates me, I hate me... mom hates me."
- "I surely doubt it."
- "Believe me, she does."
- "Anyway, we are not talking about that..."
- "Are we ever going to talk about that?"- and Joey knew the answer to that - "Yes, I guess we will... we have to talk, "But not about what you are thinking, cheater."
- "Good, great, yeah, awesome, we have to talk, I need to..."- but Joey stopped him again.
- "Not now, not today. When I come back to Los Angeles, we can meet, have a coffee and talk about it." Matthew nodded. He didn't have another choice but to agree with her terms. He wanted to talk to her, and he had to go along with her flow to win her back. Not along with his desires.
- "Do you want me to pick you from the airport?"
- "No thanks, I can take a cab."
- "You are gonna bring a million bags..."
- "I can handle it, don't worry"- her voice was so serious. Matthew knew he shouldn't insist.
- "Ok... how's your mom and dad?"
- "They are ok. They miss me."
- "I miss you too, so fucking much."
- "Ok, gonna hung up now."
- "I'm sorry, I just.... needed to see you."
- "And you saw me, and I wanted to know if you are ok, and now I know you are, so... I guess we are both..."- but no word came from Joey's lips for a second. She just zoned out, looking at Matthew- "I guess I should go, I have to get up real early, and I'm tired."
- "Of course, I don't wanna keep you up."
- "I'll call you when I get to Los Angeles."
- "Yes, please, let me know you are ok."
- "Do you know when you'll be discharged?"
- "In two days."
- "Good"- she nodded and bit her lips- "Ok, so, talk to you in a few days."
- "Yes... well... would it be ok if I called you sometime?"- she didn't know what to say- "Or text you, or something... just to make sure you are alright."
- "I'm alright."
- "I still get worried about you... traveling and all"- she looked at him, there was so much sorrow in his eyes, in his words.
- "You can text me if you want"- and a sigh of relief left his lips.
- "Thanks... now go to sleep."
- "Yeah, I will."
- "I love you"- he said, knowing those words might upset her, but he wasn't able to keep them in his chest any longer- "And I swear I'm gonna do whatever it takes to show you how sorry I am for fucking things up."
- "Bye, Matthew. Take care and say hello to your mom from me"- Joey ignored his last words and watched him for a few more seconds.
- "Talk to you later"- he murmured, fighting the tears that kept coming to his eyes
- "Bye"- Joey hung up and shut down the computer. In less than a second, she started crying, her heartbreaking and beating filled with love at the same time. Seeing him, hearing him. It was all too much.
- "How can I stop fucking loving you?! How on earth can you stop loving someone?!"
And as odd as it might be, Gerard was asking himself the very same question a few rooms away from her.
::: Denmark, March 15th, 2011 :::
Ray's arm felt numb underneath Joey's neck. But he didn't want to move it and wake her up. They were at the back of the bus, probably an hour away from Copenhagen. The girl had slept most of the trip after puking breakfast. The two of them had spent the whole journey there, with Mikey, mostly sleeping. They were all exhausted.
- "Hey guys!"- until Frank walked in and woke Mikey and Joey up- "Sorry, I didn't know you were sleeping"- he stood at the door with a sorry glance- "I wanted to ask you if you wanted to do the setlist now, 'cos we have been playing the same one for the last three shows, and it would be nice to make a few changes"- Ray nodded as Joey sat down, yawning.
- "Are we there yet?"
- "Not yet, Bug"- Ray smiled and moved his arm, feeling numbness and tingling- "Do you feel ok?"
- "Yeah, I'm hungry."
- "Here"- Mikey quickly grabbed a bag and gave her a cereal bar- "I got you healthy snacks when we stopped a while ago"- and he smiled, showing her a paper bag- "We've got everything you need to keep my nephew growing healthy."
- "Thanks"- she whispered, feeling awkward still just talking about her pregnancy like a common thing. She still didn't (or couldn't) believe she was pregnant.
- "So, setlist"- Frank sat next to his friends and started writing. They were halfway there when Iero turned to Joey and smiled- "Bug, pick a song"- and she frowned.
- "Why?"
- "We've been shitty friends. We never ask you what you wanna play."
- "That's 'cos I... you know, that's not my job, you are the band, you choose your songs."
- "And I choose you, like a Pokemon"- Frank grinned- "What would you like to play?"- Joey scratched her eyes and yawned again.
- "Vampires."
- "Done!"- and Frank wrote it down- "What else?"- the girl thought about it for a second
- "House of Wolves"- Ray smiled.
- "Loving your choices."
- "Thank you"- Joey finished her cereal bar and smiled- "Thank you, Mikey."
- "You are welcome, Bug"- a hum on the girl's phone caught her attention. It was a text from Matthew.
- "Hope you are having a nice trip"- and her heart raced, her cheek blushed, and her friends frowned.
- "Are you two in better terms?"- Ray asked, knowing neither Mikey nor Frank was going to ask without insulting Matthew.
- "Let's say I'm wrapping my mind around the fact I have to tell him he will be a father. I talked to him about his health, and that was it... nothing about us."
- "But he is texting you"- Mikey pointed out the obvious.
- "Yeah... but we are not back together. And I don't want to forgive him, so I'm ok"- the all nodded- "I just know I'm gonna have to deal with the whole baby thing with him, and I don't know if I wanna be mad at him the whole time"- they all nodded again- "I don't know what I'm doing"- she whispered.
- "If you want, we can say it's my baby"- Frank said with an honest smile- "I give them my last name. Matthew won't have a reason to be close to you, and everything will be awesome"- Joey chuckled at the idea.
- "You are so funny, Iero."
- "I wasn't joking. I can convince Jamia to go through the whole thing."
- "Shut up!"- Joey punched softly Frank's arm and smiled.
- "She wants to talk to you, by the way. Jamia"- the guitarist said and kept writing down in his notebook, avoiding making eye contact with the girl, just in case she would get upset.
- "That's cool."
- "I mean about your baby, in case you need any help... if you want to ask her things... she is there"- Frank finally looked at Joey and bit his lips- "I'm sorry I told her about that"- he made a pause, and Joey shook her head.
- "It's ok. I love Jamia... and I'm sure I'm gonna text her with a million questions in the next nine months, so... thanks"- the girl smiled and messed with Frank's hair. The four of them stayed quiet. Mikey was stuck at his book, Frank looked at the setlist and Ray at their schedule for the day.
- "Where's Gerard?"- Toro asked and looked around. Joey turned to the window, Mikey's eyes stuck at her. He was dying to talk to her about what had happened with his brother. He wanted to know her side of the story.
- "He is at his bunk"- Frank simply replied- "He has been there since we got into the bus."
- "Good, stay away from her,"- Mikey thought and went back to his book. Maybe his brother was doing the right thing for once.
It was three in the morning, and Matthew woke up for the hundredth time that night. It was hard to sleep at the hospital. There were many noises all night long, and nurses that came to put an eye on him. Just two more days, and he could go home. That idea made him happy. Six more days and Joey was going to be back in Los Angeles. The hum of his phone took him from his thoughts, and a smile lodged on his lips immediately.
- "Already in Denmark"- Joey had answered his earlier message.
- "How was the trip?"- he quickly typed and waited, staring at the screen. Joey looked at her phone and held her breath. She was lying on her bed, knowing she wasn't going to get any sleep. The tv was on, the sound in the background of her room made her feel a little less alone.
- "I slept most of the way"- she simply replied and closed her eyes. She felt like a schoolgirl talking with her crush. Decided to avoid her phone, the girl surfed channels for a while. But an incoming text took her complete attention. She wanted to read it so badly, but she didn't want to want to read it. If that made any sense at all.
- "I'm jealous. I can't sleep in this hospital,"- Matthew wrote and sighed. He looked around his room and his eyes laid on the stuffed animals still on the couch by his bed. The ones he had made for her. He just hoped she would like them.
- "Hospitals sucks,"- Matthew chuckled. He could almost listen to her voice saying that as he read it.
- "Food is the worst. I've been living on Paget's candies,"- but that message, Joey didn't reply. He waited for at least ten minutes, but no answer appeared on the screen. He closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't want to push things too fast, but at the same time, he couldn't help it, he needed to talk to her for hours, like before.
Joey was curled in bed, surfing channels, her phone hidden underneath a pillow. She knew talking to Gubler was a bad idea 'cos she loved him. So instead, she hid her phone from her and glued her eyes to the screen. Bad luck for her, "The Aquatic Life with Steve Zissou" was on. It was like life wasn't helping her at all. Matthew was everywhere. Including the movie she watched.
- "I should go get something to eat,"- she typed, giving up at the temptation. Gubler opened his eyes. It took the girl over half an hour to reply.
- "With the guys?"- he wrote quickly
- "No, I'm alone today, they are doing their band shit"- she sat on the bed and put on her shoes- "Talk to you later"- and finished the conversation.
- "Take care,"- Matthew answered quickly. He smiled and closed his eyes, sighing- "Baby steps, Gubler. Baby steps."
- "What the fuck are you doing, asshole?!"- Joey slapped herself mentally- "Stop giving him hopes. You are not getting back together."
Mikey wasn't himself that day. He wasn't mentally there at any of the interviews. His brother was in love with Joey. The thought of Gerard trying to kiss her was hunting him. It was sick. And when she was drunk, when she was sad. He even felt guilty for leaving her with him. Like he was responsible for his mistake.
- "And why the fuck didn't she tell me?! This is huge?! Doesn't she trust me? Isn't this important? I thought we were brother and sister! This is something you share with your brother!"
- "Mikey?"- Frank moved his hand in front of the bassist's face and frowned- "Are you here?"
- "Sorry, I spaced out... what is it?"
- "The interview is over; we can go"- Mikey looked around. He was the only one still sitting at the radio studio.
- "Right."
- "Are you ok?"
- "Yeah."
- "You are quiet."
- "I don't usually talk a lot in interviews."
- "Touché"- Iero chuckled and tapped on his friend's back- "Tired?"
- "Weary"
- "Just a few more days, hang in there"- Mikey nodded and walked with his friend. Gerard looked at him and raised an eyebrow. He didn't reply, not even with a gesture. Mikey just continued walking. He knew what he had to do. He just found it weird.
- "Hey"- he whispered, making sure his brother wasn't going to overhear his conversation and held his cellphone close- "Are you feeling good?"
- "Yeah"- Joey rolled in bed and sighed- "I already had lunch half hour ago, and it's still in my stomach, so I guess I'm awesome"- Mikey smiled.
- "Were you sleeping?"
- "No, just rolling in bed and coloring mandalas from time to time, watching tv."
- "We are going to the hotel now."
- "Great! Are you gonna nap?"
- "I wanted to hang out with you."
- "Great! Bring candies."
- "I'll bring healthy snacks for my nephew"- Joey sighed at those words. She wasn't ready to start talking about her baby.
- "A tiny little Snicker, for Christ Sakes. For your niece."
- "I'll think about it."
Joey watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, trying to wrap her head around the fact she was going to have a baby. Sure, she always thought about it, but not at twenty-six. Yes, she wanted to have a baby with Matthew, but not under those circumstances.
- "I guess I'll have to make the best of it"- she sighed, rubbing her belly sweetly- "You are gonna have Halloween every day, I swear"- Joey whispered- "I'm gonna make sure you've got everything I never had. Your dad is gonna go nuts when we tell him... I still don't know what kind of nuts, but I guess we'll have to figure it out."
She made a pause, thinking about Matthew telling her he wanted to fill their house with babies. Maybe he was going to be excited after all. Maybe.
- "Your uncle Mikey is gonna spoil you, that I am sure about"- the knock on the door took Joey from her conversation with her belly. Mikey stood at the other side, smiling and holding a fun size Snicker bag.
- "I'm going to give you one every day. That's gonna be your only candy, ok?"
- "Thank you!!"- Joey walked in, jumping in excitement, making her friend chuckle. He was slightly mad at her, but still, he couldn't be mean to her- "How was work?"
- "Boring, I think I fell asleep during most of the interviews"- the girl chuckled and sat indian style on her bed- "I can see you are watching kids movies already"- the bassist raised an eyebrow staring at the screen.
- "I happen to love this movie... I'm a Halloween kind of girl."
- "Yeah, I know"- Mikey stood in front of Joey, chewing a Snicker.
- "Aren't you going to sit down and watch this masterpiece with me?"
- "I need to talk to you about something first."
- "Shoot"- but Way didn't know how to start that conversation. He thought about it the whole morning, but he still had no clue. So instead, he mumbled some unintelligible words- "What is it?"
- "I just..."
- "Is it because I've been wearing a lot of your hoodies? I'm sorry, the ones I brought are Matthew's, and I don't feel like wearing his clothes."
- "No Bug, it's not that."
- "'Cos I'm wearing Frank's too... which is pretty weird 'cos he is my size..."
- "No, Joey. It's not about that."
- "Then why are you so serious?"
- "'Cos you never told me you kissed my brother"- and Joey's face fell.
- "Did he tell you?"
- "Clearly... what the fuck?"
- "I don't know!!"
- "Why didn't you tell me?!"
- "'Cos if I never told anyone, I could pretend it never happened! And I wish that never happened!"
- "What the fuck was that about?!"
- "I don't know, I felt like the shit, he kissed me, I didn't stop him right away..."
- "Do you like him?"
- "No!"
- "Do you love him?"- Mikey was serious about his questions- "'Cos he is sure he loves you."
- "I don't love him, Mikey. We both know there is only one shitty person I love"- Joey laid back on the bed and covered her face with her hands.
- "Do you think I'm proud? I should have never done that! and I definitely shouldn't have let him get to the point he got"- Mikey frowned.
- "What?"
- "So he didn't tell you he wanted to fuck?"- the girl simply replied- "When I was drunk... we kissed, at a certain point we made out, but I wasn't very conscious of what he was doing... I just... in my intoxication... I thought he was Matthew."
- "What the fuck?"- Way wide opened his eyes and turned to his friend in shock.
- "Yeah, it was sick..."- she whispered, embarrassed.
- "Joey, that's abuse!"
- "What? no!"- the girl gasped.
- "Joey, my brother tried to abuse you"- Mikey yelled- "You were drunk!"
- "Yeah, but..."
- "You were nearly unconscious, and he tried to make out with you?"
- "No! No! I mean, a part of me knew what I was doing. I just... didn't know who I was doing it with."
Honestly, that didn't sound like an excellent explanation of the facts. Joey was in denial of how bad things had gotten with Gerard.
- "Bug, that's not right! He knew exactly what he was doing, and he shouldn't have done that to you if you were drunk!"- Mikey's words resonated in Joey's head.
- "He didn't try to rape me. I mean, he stopped when I realized he wasn't Matthew... and honestly, I'm not trying to defend him, but I was pretty disgusted by my actions right away!"
Joey stood up and looked at her friend right in the eyes. At that moment, she decided the best she could do was take the pushy scene from the story, when Gerard didn't want to let her go. It was better to forget that moment and pretended it never really happened.
- "The first time he kissed me, I thought making out with your brother was the perfect revenge against Matthew, mostly 'cos he was always saying Gerard had a thing for me"- the girl sighed and pouted at her friend- "Who was ever going to think he was right?"- Mikey wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of your head- "I just didn't know that one kiss made him think we could do it again when I was drunk."
- "Please don't do stupid shit like this again"- she nodded
- "Your shirt stinks"- she joked, making her best to stop the serious conversation 'cos she couldn't stand arguing with Mikey, and less talking about that subject.
- "Sorry, I ran out of clean clothing 'cos I've got a friend who keeps wearing everything I own"- he chuckled, and Joey smiled, letting him go slowly to go back to the bag of candies- "I said just one a day."
- "Can I get an extra one today? Please?"
- "No, you are grounded, 'cos you did something incredibly stupid"- they stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, until Mikey smiled- "Fine, but only today"- she girl smiled and landed a kiss on Mikey's cheek.
- "Thank you. Besides, Ray is the only one who can ground me around here."
- "Right"- Joey chewed her Snicker and laid back in bed, tapping the spot next to her- "There's still one more thing."
- "Oh shit! I don't want to have more serious conversations. We've had enough of those already."
- "He claims to love you"- Mikey just said, and Joey closed her eyes, wincing.
- "I know! And I find it as stupid as false! We've barely talked this whole time! He has no idea who I am, what I like, or anything! He is just talking with his cock!"
- "And what are you gonna do about it?"
- "Stay as far from him as possible"- Mikey laid next to Joey and held her hand- "Do you think the others suspect anything?"
- "Frank, for sure. He has been arguing about it for days now."
- "Shit!"
- "But hey, hey, don't worry"- Mikey tapped on Joey's hand- "It's gonna be ok."
- "Bróðir"- the girl made a pause and never unglued her eyes from the screen- "I'm gonna have to leave."
- "No!"- his voice sounded serious and certain- "You don't have to!"
- "I'm nothing but trouble! This tour is more a soap opera than a job at this point! Breaking up with Matthew and having all of you taking care of me, now I'm pregnant, your brother claims to love me." Joey turned to Mikey and cut him a shy smile. - "Face it, if you had hired a male drummer, you would have had a quiet tour. Nothing to worry about, not all this fucking drama to deal with."
- "If we had hired anyone else, I would have had a miserable tour"- Mikey simply replied and messed with Joey's hair as the two of them returned to watch the movie- "So stop saying nonsenses."
- "I'm so sorry..."
- "Knock it off"
- "And I don't want you to be mad at your brother."
- "I'm not mad"- Joey raised an eyebrow and looked at Mikey- "Fine, I hate him right now, 'cos he has been acting like a fucking crazy jerk, and honestly, he nearly abused you, Joey!"
- "Don't hate him... let's pretend none of that weird shit ever happened, which is what I'm planning to do."
- "Fine"
- "And don't get all weird."
- "Fine"- Mikey sounded a little annoyed.
- "And don't make a fuzz if I stay away from him."
- "I'll support you, I'll even stay away from him myself."
- "Don't. He is fucked up. Maybe if he opened up with you, it's because he needs company or someone to help him overcome this... madness."
Mikey turned to Joey again and sighed. He disagreed with her, and he was planning to stay away from his brother and keep him away from Joey as well.
- "And how was your talk with Matthew?"- Joey's heart raced just by hearing his name- "The red cheeks are giving you away."
- "It was... ok, I guess."
- "And now you are texting"- she sighed and huffed.
- "I'm gonna have a baby with him, Mikey. It's hard."
- "And you love him."
- "Not the point... and that's all I'm saying about that subject."
- "Ok"- Mikey wrapped an arm around Joey's neck, and she rested her head on him- "Let's watch the movie before we have to leave for the arena."
Mikey wasn't mad at Joey. He was scared she might consider leaving the band. He loved having her there. She was honestly his anxiety shield, and he couldn't deal with that tour without her. Not at the moment. He was alone. He felt alone, and she was the one with him always. Ray had Christa, Frank had Jamia, Gerard had Lynz (and it was now obvious: he also had a stalking problem).
Mikey had Joey. At least when they were on the road. Hiding in their friendship and brotherhood was the only way he could handle loneliness. Or to avoid it.

you think you could write an Elu fic where both of 'em are together, but just doing their own thing in the room, but then Eliott starts getting impatient and being a little sh*t (maybe Lucas is watching a movie and a bit too focused on it for Eliott's liking 😉) and starts to try and get his attention, sort of like how Nico was being a little sh*t to Marti in that one scene??
------
Two hours sitting on his bed, looking at a screen it’s not on the list of Lucas’ favorites. It’s too much time to do nothing, but he doesn’t have a choice, he needs to watch this movie to write about it for his class. He even kicked Eliott out of bed or none of them would be able to concentrate on their homework. 
It’s not easy to concentrate on anything else when he can see his good looking, hot, soft, sexy boyfriend staring at him so Eliott had to lie down on the floor to do his work. From where Lucas was sitting against the headboard he couldn’t see Eliott, but he can almost feel that his boyfriend is having way too much fun with this. Whenever he hears the slightest noise, he looks around, picturing Eliott on his stomach, probably planning something that isn’t involved with his homework. 
Lucas turned all his notifications off on his phone, but he’s constantly holding it, checking if he got any new message every few minutes. He can hear Eliott moving against the rug they bought a few months ago. Just to make sure, Lucas checks his phone again and he has a new message. 
He tries not to laugh or Eliott will rush back to his side as soon as he hears it, but he can’t help but smile when he unlocks his phone, opening the message. 
To Lucas: I miss you.
“Shhh, finish your work. I’m almost done with this stupid movie.” Lucas whispers, looking at the end of his bed, regretting asking Eliott to stay out of his sight. If only he could see the messy hair and the kind eyes, maybe he could push through. 
A very long and important scene happens and when it’s done, Lucas checks his phone again. Another new message received two minutes ago. He opens it and it’s a photo of him, but the angle is very weird, from the right side of his bed, it’s clear that Lucas was completely focused on the movie. 
He doesn’t say anything this time, checking how much time until the movie is done. Twenty-five minutes, probably with credits. So maybe twenty minutes if he’s lucky. Lucas is almost free. He rearranges his pillows, slouching a little more under the covers. At least the outside world looks miserable with all the rain and the grey sky and the ridiculously low temperatures. Lucas hates winter, but he loves snow, so he’s anxiously waiting for the first one of the year.
Somehow, the next ten minutes go by very quickly and Lucas forgets about his phone, hiding his hands underneath the comforter to keep it warm. The movie is coming to an end, but suddenly he’s hit by a soft and warm fabric falling on his lap, covering his computer. He holds it up and smiles. It’s Eliott’s shirt. 
“Ten more minutes and I’m free, I promise.” Lucas pulls the shirt closer, hugging it, smelling it and finding some comfort in how warm it is. 
“No! I’m done waiting.” Eliott gets up from the floor and Lucas can’t help but look. Eliott shirtless should be something to be put in a museum. Lucas knows every lean muscle of his long torso, he kissed every inch of that skin more times than he can remember. Lucas loves Eliott’s chest tattoo, he loves how Eliott is so hot without ever working out, he loves the V that only ends up inside his pants. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing in Eliott that Lucas doesn’t love and finds it sexy. His hair is messier than usual. 
Whenever Eliott is concentrated on a task or a movie that they’re watching or anything. If he’s concentrated he’s playing or with Lucas’ hair or with his own. 
Eliott doesn’t know how to dance and when he tries it, it’s the weirdest moves, but somehow he can still make it sexy and cute and Lucas is mesmerized, watching how his body moves. He’s laughing at his own stupid dance and Lucas notices that he’s smiling wide too, watching as Eliott quietly comes closer to the bed, crawling with Lucas in between his legs and arms until Eliott is right on top of him. 
Lucas slips until he’s lying down under Eliott and he wiggles his eyebrows. 
“You’ll watch this movie later.” 
“But then I’ll have to start all over again...” Lucas bites his lip and Eliott smiles all the way to his eyes. Lucas moves the comforter and puts it around Eliott so there’s nothing in between them except their underwear. 
“No, you said ten minutes! That’s all I’ll give you.” Eliott kisses his entire face and Lucas puts both arms around his neck, giving him all the space he wants.

Virgil: you wouldn’t understand
(Yes, I was Virgil in that last one, I think they thought it was in a different language and that’s why they wouldn’t understand)
This was funny to write, maybe I’ll do it again

The Winners And Losers From The 2020 Emmy Nominations
The 2020 Emmy nominations rolled out today, and boy, were they something. Right away, Rhea Seehorn fans grew furious that she was somehow left on the side of the road again, and it’s very strange to not see Larry David receive more nods for being a lovable curmudgeon on HBO, but perhaps he’s topped out with a lifetime total of 27 Emmy nominations and 2 wins. We could also talk about numbers mattering, which is good news on the HBO front, with Watchmen and Succession scoring 26 and 18 nominations, respectively, and Disney+ scooping up 15 nods for The Mandalorian, although sorry, Baby Yoda, you are somehow not eligible for acting awards.
That’s not as satisfying, though, as talking about the real winners and losers, which is a fine tradition here. Please do not consider this to be a complete list of wronged-and-righted parties (for example, I cannot even begin to understand why Desus and Mero got the shaft, which shouldn’t have happened), but let’s get this ball rolling, shall we?
When it comes to Ozark, I kind-of get why people don’t want to give this show a shot at first. The bizarre insistence upon a blue filter goes a long way, for example, or the fact that it arguably fine-tunes the Walt-Jesse dynamic from Breaking Bad — yes, that might grind some gears. Yet all of those concerns don’t matter once you surrender to the setting and watch Jason Bateman lose his sh*t in consistently captivating ways. The acting nominations here were all well deserved, as was the Outstanding Drama series nod, especially with that cliffhanger. I do look forward to one day seeing Julia Garner win her 15th Emmy in, like, 2045, but let’s also shout out Dead To Me. That little Netflix series also been recognized once again despite (probably) being intended as a trash-comfort watch. Yet it works surprisingly well to stir up a wide range of emotions and affirm humanity in the process. Also, recognition for Linda Cardellini will never get old. Now she can forget that Capone came out this year. h96 tv box
Let’s make one thing clear: Reese is doing just fine. In fact, she’s likely doing wonderful. However, her prestige TV turns have gone unrewarded for this year’s ceremony. Whereas Jennifer Aniston received a nod for Apple TV’s The Morning Show, Reese didn’t walk away with the same honor for her performance as an unruly spitfire of a co-host. Her Hulu and HBO roles, in Little Fires Everywhere and Big Little Lies, also went unrecognized. I can only guess that there simply wasn’t enough room for all the BLL ladies, and although her ruffling of Adam Scott was convincing enough, neither she nor Nicole Kidman could beat out Laura Dern and Meryl Streep’s  extremely unhinged  turns on the show. Still, Reese will not walk away from 2020 empty-handed. Quibi  paid her $6 million to narrate a wildlife series, and you gotta respect that hustle.
Yes, I did suggest that numbers don’t matter, but c’mon. Not only did The Mandalorian receive 15 nods, but Watchmen scored 26. The best part about Damon Lindelof’s show gathering so many decorations, though, is that no one even asked for a Watchmen TV series to be made. Alan Moore’s graphic novel was always considered to be unfilmable (and Zack Snyder made the case there), but Lindelof did it anyway. He recontextualized the whole story against the backdrop of a long-buried U.S. atrocity and hid Doctor Manhattan in the body of a Black man. He put the damn squid in there, included Jeremy Irons’ fart face, made Regina King walk on water (or not), and inserted a Lube Man. Watchmen could win no Emmys at all, and it’d still be the winner for all those things.
This one is a puzzler. The Emmys nominated Bob Odenkirk in 2019, 2017, 2016, and 2015, but he somehow came up short this year for his lead role in AMC’s Breaking Bad spinoff that landed on the top of our best shows of the year (so far) list. Even if one considers that his category was stacked — and let’s be honest here, it wasn’t airtight because Steve Carell‘s The Morning Show role felt more like a supporting role than a lead — it’s hard to ignore how the Emmy’s almost entirely shut out the Saul actors. And really, how does one justify continuing to leave Rhea Seehorn on the side of the road with an arc like the one she had this season? With  those finger guns… and everything? It just doesn’t make sense, but I guess at least Gus Fring is getting his due. h96 max tv box
Zendaya could become the  youngest winner of the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award for her turn in the provocative Euphoria. The drug-fueled series about teens isn’t an easy watch by any stretch, but it’s a relevant one, and Zendaya’s finally receiving the dramatic material that her talents deserve. On the Ramy side of things, it’s nice to see more affirmation that this is the best show that  you’re not currently watching. It’s a little disheartening to not see the show’s actresses gain recognition while their characters are finally coming to the forefront, but it’s hard to argue with the possibility of creator Ramy Youssef adding an Emmy to his Globe win for this dramedy about Muslim-Americans. Also, Mahershala Ali getting a nod for his Hot Sheikh means that at least something’s right in our current universe (after that Green Book mess).
Young women challenging institutions are where it’s at this year. Even though Watchmen will (and should) walk away with the Outstanding Limited Series category, I’m thrilled to see two insurgent-feeling shows, Unbelievable and Unorthodox, make the shortlist. Kaitlyn Dever should have also been nominated in the acting department for her turn as a rape survivor who was treated like a criminal, due to being an “imperfect victim,” but the show as a whole deserved the nod that it received for being taking such a feminist approach to crime-drama storytelling. And I’m pumped to see Unorthodox‘s Shira Hass pop up with an Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Series nod (she’s up against Regina King and Cate Blanchett), as well as seeing recognition for the  stunning miniseries’ exploration of a young woman’s flight from Hasidic Judaism. android tv box
Pacino’s first regular TV role in Amazon Prime’s Hunters was a highly anticipated one, but sadly, the show (despite plenty of enticing ingredients like Jordan Peele producing and, you know, the killing of Nazis),  didn’t hit the mark. Honestly, yeah, it was messy, and Pacino’s accent work managed to be one of the weirdest parts of a very weird show. It’s not worth too many words to rehash what happened there, for it’s enough to say that Pacino’s already won two TV-movie Emmys for You Don’t Know Jack and Angels In America. He’s also notched an Oscar win (in 1993 for Scent of a Woman) and eight Oscar nominations (including in 2020 for The Irishman). He doesn’t necessarily need to win at TV shows, too!

Smokey brand Movie Reviews: Welcome to Equestria
I watched Horse Girl and it was one of the weirdest films i have ever seen. To be honest, i don’t really know how to approach this review because it really isn’t like any practical film i have ever watched. It is kind of it’s own thing and, while i dig that, i cant really look at it like i would look at a regular movie. Watching this thing gave me the same feeling i had watching Under the Skin and that thing is incomprehensible. F*cking brilliant but absolutely boggling. I’m going to try and articulate my impressions of this “movie” to the best of my abilities. There probably won’t be much because, you know, the boggling, but I'm definitely going to try.
The Wat
Alison Brie is excellent as the lead, Sarah. She carries this film with her performance. Horse Girl would not work is Brie was not as vulnerable and human as she was in this thing. Watching her spiral for a good portion of this film, not knowing if what she is experience is real or is she’s having literal psychotic episodes was difficult to watch. You feel for her in so many ways because it’s very apparent that Sarah needs help and no one really knows how to make that happen. There is a very real sadness that underlies her Sarah’s entire experience during these events. It’s quiet an cruel. It is true pleasure watching Brie deliver such a nuanced and emotional performance. Sarah is easily one of Brie’s best.
The editing this thing is something else. It’s not spastic or crazy but there is a subtle mania to it all that hits you in ways you don’t expect. It’s very methodical, very calculation, and it jars you. The way this thing is cut throws you off an you never really recover. This movie keeps you off balance and just rushes toward the end on this slope. It’s quite unnerving
The score goes a long way to keep that imbalance. It’s never jarring or intense. Everything is upbeat and artificial. Artificial is a great way to describe it. The music behind these scenes feels like someone smiling on the outside but sobbing on the inside, if that makes sense. That’s how i fell hearing this music. It’s very conflicting because you know there is something really wrong but nothing shows you that. Nothing hits your ear with that. But you still know. It’s off.
I really liked the visual representation of the dreams Sarah was having. They were very sterile, very mechanical. The starkness contrasted certain, other, aspect perfectly driving home the unearthly nature of the entire experience. Those scenes felt very much like Under the Skin.
Jeff Baena has crafted one of the weirdest, most unorthodox, cinematic experiences i have witnessed. I have seen a lot of films and this one is easily one of the weirder ones. I can’t say that it’s good direction or bad, it’s more unique than anything.
Baena also wrote the screenplay with Brie, which probably explains why this flick meshed so well. These two have had their fingerprints on every step of this film’s construction.
The supporting cast in this feels necessary but underused. I would have liked to see more of Debby Ryan and Dylan Gelula. I think we should have expanded those roles a little bit. I;m not mad about what we did get, Debby Ryan is fast becoming one of my favorite actresses, but i feel like she might have bee a little under utilized.
The narrative brought to screen is  the fever dream of a conspiracy nut and it captures that feeling perfectly. I have an idea of what i watched but I'm not really sure. I don’t know if this is a metaphor for something extremely personal or if it’s a literal situation or if it’s all in Sarah’s head. There is evidence in this thing to go any which way and, while that is usually frowned upon, i rather dig it. Ambiguity in cinema, when done right, is fantastic and i think Horse Girls does it right.
The Verdict
I couldn't really review this flick in my usual manner. It doesn’t read like a movie. It reads like a fever dream, like someone absolutely losing their sh*t. In that regard, it’s absolutely excellent. However, that mania is going to turn off a lot of people. I adore this flick. It has a really strong performance from Alison Brie and a surprisingly complimentary supporting cast. The direction is on point and the way certain shots are edited is pure brilliance. there is an eeriness in the simplicity of this film as it tells it’s complicated story. You have to engage in this movie to get the full extent of the narrative and most people won’t do that. most people will just look at this thing and just dismiss it as pretentious nonsense. This movie is so much better than that. It’s so much more than that. Horse Girl is an excellent film for people who enjoy film. You can’t cheat this thing, though. If you do, you’ll probably hate it.

otherwise enjoy the fic. takes place four months after the second fic. lets begin!
_____________
“beryl i can’t concentrate with the clapping.” rutile mumbled as they stared at the red head currently clapping, whilst quietly was enough to make noise for the student. “i can’t help iiit it’s my present your opening!!!”
“i don’t wanna tear the paper.”
“why? when were you this insistant in not ripping paper?”
“since ruti cried over ripping dia’s.” padpa interjected as rutile blushed lightly, gaining giggles from the others sitting around them. “i-it was just...very pretty that’s all!!”
“not like i minded.” dia tried to comfort as ruti looked back at them. “and i wasn’t crying i had an eyelash stuck!” padpa raised a brow. “in both eyes?”
“save the snark for your funeral.” they mumbled as they slowly took the wrapping off, using their enlarged stomach as a bit of a table for the light box to sit on. using their pocket knife they opened it revealing multiple tiny outfits.
“man it’s like a pinata.” yellow joked as rutile and padpa looked em over. “like em!? i couldn’t decide on what would be good so i went with all of em!!!” red stated excitedly as the array of rainbow colored outfits were examined by the two.
“yeah their real cute.” padpa stated as ruti nodded, looking away lightly gaining the red head’s attention. “do you have an eyelash in both eyes again ruti~?”
“sh-shut!”
------------------
as the two waved their goodbye’s to the babyshower party rutile took their seat on their dorm room bed with a sigh. “exhausted parent to be?~” they glared at yellow as they started taking down the streamers. “well sitting around with the size of a watermelon inside you IS exhausting.”
“daaawww hey now be nice to my kid.” padpa retorted to the brunette as they laid their head lightly on their stomach. “you just like this because my stomach’s now become your new pillow.”
“well YEAH your thighs are outta business for now.” padpa replied, gaining a light smack of a card from the other. “don’t you have a dorm to go back to?”
“you sure?” they asked, lifting the card lightly. “mean, it’s getting close so-”
“i’m sure if anything happens you’ll be notified alright?” rutile stated giving a light pet to padpa. “heh alright alright, i guess so.” lifting their head they grabbed the spare party favor and hat from rutile’s desk giving it a blow. “godparent yellow take care of these two alright?”
“ai ai!!”
“oh god no don’t put our child in their care.”
“so meeeaaan rutiiiile!!!”
================
walking down the unfamiliar beach padpa looked to the sky. no birds, kites, no nothing. just beetles passing by. walking to the shore they looked outward. nothing but waves pushing forward and back, till they noticed something shiny a little bit ahead of them. within a dozen steps they crouched down seeing something bright and orange red nestled in the sand. petting it lightly it was some sort of...crystal? what was it? they were never good with this stuff. ruby? a beryl? the cream colored stripes looked familiar. like-
“cairnel-”
“PADPA WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!”
padpa screamed as they felt the assault of a pillow getting smacked in their face and falling over to the other side of their bed. “geez your such a deep sleeper c’mon!!” looking up they could see through the nightlight of their window a distressed yellow holding a pillow and panting.
“this is the mos-” they watched as the blonde rushed to their side and gripped their wrist to quickly walk with them out of their room. “-t weirdest way to wa-HEY HEY what’s the rush?!”
“RUTI IS THE RUSH!!!” and just at that they let go as both started sprinting. “i TRIED calling you and then ruti just threw pillows at me to go get you you sloth!!”
“well that explains the pillow but still!!!”
as both rushed through the hall of slowly waking up students coming out of their dorms. slamming the door open padpa looked to the now disheveled sitting up lightly rutile panting and curling up a bit with a nervous zircon sitting closeby with their phone in hand.
“a-ambulance says they’ll be here-” they stuttered as yellow patted em lightly. “good zirc good good ya can go back to bed now.” yellow quickly ushered the younger out, closing the door as rutile gave a gutteral growl, causing the red head to rush to their side.
“and you said it’d be fine for me to go to my dorm huh-” they started only to get interrupted with a firm squeeze of their hand giving a hiss. “shut.” rutile growled as they panted lightly.
“okay so, hot water right?” yellow asked as they rushed to the shared bathroom. “and towels right ruti???”
“that’s...the basics yes!” they exclaimed as they squeezed padpa’s hand again. “geez where did the strength come from!?” padpa asked as rutile gave a hum. “gee, probably AFTER six or so weeks!?”
“okay okay smarty pants.”
“how’re you this calm??” padpa shrugged. “honestly? i’m still half awake maybe that’s why?”
“god, i wish i was in your shoes.” rutile hissed as yellow came back with a salad sized bowl of water and towel over their shoulder. “same man.” as they replied the sound of ambulance alarms blaring caused the three to sigh in relief while the hallway was soon filled with shouts and talk and running from the noise.
___________________
opening their eyes padpa stretched and yawned as they sat up in the hospital chair. looking around they could see people coming and going the hall, yellow sleeping in their chair aswell and looking to the light of the delivery room still being on. geez how long has it been? the smell of scrambled eggs passing by on a plate signaled breakfast time they guessed.
staring at the light padpa sighed lightly as their now more concience mind ran through all that happened. waking up by a pillow, nearly having their hand broken during the ride here. these nine months flashed as fast as what happened just some hours ago.
the light went out. padpa nudged yellow till they cracked their eyes open. “think ruti’s done.” padpa told them as yellow yawned and a doctor coming out. “is the fath-”
“yeah i’m here.” padpa raised their hand passing by the doctor. “r-right-” they heard and walking into the room. already they could see the little bundled blanket in ruti’s arms, those golden orbs looking to them a bit bloodshot from crying and hair a disheveled mess with a similarly disheveled smile at them.
they felt things colliding inside of them, like a roof that just got too tired of holding up all the attic stuff as padpa fell to their knees, holding their mouth as they laid their head on the floor. their ears muffled out concerned questions and statements as they hiccuped tears to fall on the floor from the re-assuring back pets of yellow’s.
it felt like forever for their mind to get out of this clutter of brainspace. this was real, this wasn’t a dream, they really were here, the kid was theirs, ruti was theirs, their in college, their parents, their PARENTS!
slowly getting up they could hear and feel yellow holding their arm to steady them as they walked to the bed. almost as if they knew their body would give in they flopped on the bed close to ruti’s waist, arms laying on it to help steady themself.
“...p-padpa?”
“sorry. tired. processing.”
“...ah, okay.” they felt those delicate hands pet their soft hair, nuzzling to it lightly. as they heard the muffled conversation between them and yellow one thing padpa could hear clearly was the sound of small light sleeping and an occasional noise of breathing. as if it was their gasoline padpa moved to gain enough strength to lean up a bit and look to the bundle in rutile’s arms.
so small, so squishy looking. petting their cheek the little one’s eyes opened staring at padpa with an eyecolor lighter then their own. they smiled lightly. “you...got your troublemaker side from me huh?”
“i can concur.” rutile stated as padpa chuckled lightly. “speaking of though, what’s a name good for a troublemaker?” rutile asked as padpa hummed. “didn’t we have that talk?”
“yes but you knocked out halfway through it.”
“eheh, yeaaah. hmmm.” they hummed, the familiar imagery of the beach and shiny gem flashing through them. “...uhm..what’s that one gem thingy called? cairn-something?” they asked, getting confused stares.
“we’re not naming them after cairngorm.” rutile stated as yellow giggled. “eheh yeah no i mean, like, cairneel-neel uhm-”
“nelian? cairnelian?” yellow asked as padpa clicked their tongue. “that!” they replied, causing the baby to make some rather unimpressed whimpers. “s-sorry eheh but yeah. how’s that ruti?”
as rutile rocked the little one lightly they smirked and nodded. “i think, you listen better when sleeping.” padpa tilted their head as rutile giggled. “i like it yes.” the bushy red head smiled at that. “alright. welcome little cairnelian hehe.”
.........................
“hmmmm,” rutile hummed as they tapped their pencil on their notebook. the sound of light snoring coming from the red head laying on their side.
“no luck?” they looked to see yellow smiling at them. “more lack there of with sleeping beauty here.” they grumbled lightly tapping their pencil eraser onto the others head gaining a snore as yellow chuckled.
“well doesn’t help so many of the ideas are boring.” rutile huffed as yellow sat next to them. “c’mon ya gotta have something cool! like uh, maybe like a gem?”
“gem? ...yellow we’re not hippies.” rutile pouted as yellow giggled. “ey i’m just saying. something like cairnelian might work right?” rutile looked to their sleeping partner as they gave a nudge to yellow. “maybe but i wanna keep other options open.”
“kaaaay. well, if ya want any ideas i’m the best godparent at it!” they stated as they popped their earbuds into their ears. once distracted rutile sighed. “cairnelian huh?” they mumbled, looking to padpa again. their pencil quickly scratched onto the paper the name and moved to give them a pet on the head. “wonder what you’d think of the name cairnelian huh?”

What was the weirdest text you’ve ever woken up to?
I think mine was the one from my classmate I woke up to this morning. It contained, I sh*t thee not,
lyrics of Rasputin altered as to represent the events of an old Russian sci-fi book both I and my classmate like: The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin.
Here are the lyrics. Please confirm these are not my fever dream.
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was smart and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with mistrust and with fear But for science he was a very needed figure He liked to play with science like a child Full of interest and fire But he also was a kind of person Who liked to watch you die
Garin the engineer Inventor of the ray of death Of just two mirrors and a strong light source Garin the engineer He is just the smartest here And let us hope it doesn't get worse
