#i'm just. obsessed w the way they are so inverse of each other

[loving-jack-kelly]

here's the thing. jack is a gentle person who was forced into being tough and strong and fierce by circumstance. his hands are calloused and his knuckles are bruised when he picks flowers to display in the window by his bed and when he wipes away tears from a younger boy and when he braids the hair of a little girl who can't do it herself. and davey is a fierce, angry person who has learned to be gentle and quiet and pleasant by circumstance. he isn't used to being in a fist fight but when he stops trying to be otherwise, his words are sharp and pointed and direct even when he's offering comfort and kindness and wit. jack has never had the chance to just be gentle without fighting for it. davey has never allowed himself to exist without a filter.

#newsies #jack kelly #davey jacobs #i'm just. obsessed w the way they are so inverse of each other #how davey has had the fight stamped out of him by the pressure to be a perfect son perfect brother upstanding and respectable #and how jack has had the fight stamped into him by a world that refuses to give him a break and eats the people who stop trying alive #and then they meet. they meet and it's like oh this is who I could be and also who I could never be and what if we meet in the middle #what if jack gets to be gentle with davey in a simple quiet way #and what if davey can be sharp and direct and angry with jack and feel loved for it not despite it #what if? what do they do then? #love it. #javid

I have an idea- and it won't go away

So.

Huxley x Xaiver X Hudson X Listener/reader

Idk how I came up with this..

Hello! Thanks for the request! I'm sorry it took a little bit, but here ya go :)

I decided to use the Freelancer as the listener character, mostly because it makes the most sense. Also I’m playing with time a little bit. Inversion never happens! Everyone is fine and happy and alive. Why? Because I'm the god of the page, and I don't like being sad.

CW: none

Honestly? I love this

So Huxley and Xavier obviously met through the team and at practice during Huxley’s first year.

I’m pretty sure Xavier is a year above him, so he could have helped show Huxley the ropes/give him any pointers and stuff like that

They get together after their first season playing together

They’re cute together

They don’t have very many planned dates, but Huxley will of course take Xavier on hikes when they have the weekend off

But they don’t really need to plan many dates, because so much of their schedule lines up between classes and team practice

They do have little gym dates tho

They work out together and then get smoothies

I love them

Also!! Captain and vice Captain? As boyfriends???

I’m obsessed.

Huxley and the FL meet the same way they normally do

The two of them are quick to become friends, and as they get closer, the FL starts to develop a little crush

But when Hux mentions he has a boyfriend, they just do their best to accept it and be happy for him

But he ends up inviting the FL to the team’s summer barbecue that Xavier hosts

The FL is a little nervous, especially because Huxley keeps talking about how excited he is to introduce them to Xavier

“It will be so cool to have two of my favorite people in one spot, you know?’

They mingle for little bit before someone in the crowd catches Huxley’s eye and he calls them over

The FL can’t help but feel a little jealous as they watch him light up and wave one arm above his head

But they become a little distracted when they see who Hux is waving at

He’s hot (ironic)

They both are

Once they man was close enough, Hux moved to greet him

All Huxley said was ‘Kiss?’, and when the other man nodded, Huxley kissed his cheek before turned back to the FL to introduce him

They have a similar conversation to the one they have in Xavier’s first video, and they tell each other how highly Huxley talks about them

They all hit it off, and a couple months later, they talk it through and decide to try dating

It’s going really well, and about half a year later, the E&E games tryout start

Huxley and Xavier know they wanna try out, but the FL is slightly hesitant

But they (as well as Lasko, Damien, and Gavin) help encourage them to at least try

So they all sign up to tryout

That’s where they all meet Hudson

He has to spend most of his time up in the booth, so he doesn’t get to interact with the competitors very often

But he does have a great view of the arena between the view from his box and the tester feed on the cameras.

He gets to see all of the tryouts, which is where he catches sight of Huxley, Xavier, and the Freelancer

There’s no denying they’re all extremely attractive, and not to mention powerful

He had to refrain himself several times from mentioning how hot they all look while he’s practicing their introductions during the tryouts

But when they have a break in between groups to reset the field, he decides to walk down to the competitors area

No reason of course, he just wanted to stretch his legs

He walks around for a little bit, but when he doesn’t see any of them he thinks he missed his window

But just before he heads back to his booth, he spots them

All of them actually

The three of them are standing together laughing at something

Hudson isn’t sure if it’s good luck or bad luck that all of them are standing together, but he decides to go for it and introduce himself anyway

They’re all very friendly (and even cuter up close)

They were just about to leave to get lunch, and they invite Hudson to come with them

And the rest is history.

Set up is over, now into same random relationship head canons

I fully believe that both Hudson and Xavier like to sing in the shower, so expect to hear them from down the hall

Especially Hudson if he isn’t paying attention, he can get a little loud on accident (get your head out of the gutter)

But that also means he cheers the loudest at his boyfriend’s games

Huxley and Xavier don’t mind, but the people sitting around Hudson and the FL certainly do

Eventually the school offers to let him announce after they receive so many complaints

He’s usually a very fair announcer, but he will occasionally talk about Huxley or Xavier for slightly too long

He’ll sneak the FL into the booth with him when he can so they don’t have to sit by themself in the stands

Plus they bring him snacks from the concession stand

After each game the four of them go out for dinner together, usually at a small diner that’s on the way back to the apartment

Idk I just really like the mental image of all of them sitting in an old fashioned diner booth drinking milkshakes

Just like how Hudson and the FL show up to Huxley and Xavier’s games, everyone will also go visit Hudson while he’s DJ-ing

He is technically working, so they can’t socialize with him as much, but they will come up to say hi and bring him water and snacks from the bar

He appreciates it, and he makes sure to put a couple of his partners’ favorite songs into the mix

And if the FL has anything, you bet the boys are showing up to cheer them on however they can

Xavier is the best cook of the couple

Huxley is pretty good when it comes to grilling food, but he’s never been the best at actual cooking, and Hudson probably used to eat a lot of microwave food and ramen

So Xavier cooks, Huxley grills, the FL bakes, and Hudson is in charge of taste testing

It’s a solid system

I’m not sure what I imagine Hudson to look like, but Huxley and Xavier both have a fair bit of muscle on them, which means two things

Good hugs. And good cuddles

None of the boys are morning people, so lazy mornings are an often occurrence

Except of course when there’s an early morning practice, but other than that they don’t want to leave the bed before 10am

Huxley has tried to drag the whole group on a hike, but finding a tent that was big enough for all of them was a little troubling

They all promise to take turns caring the tent, but Hux or Xavier always somehow end up with it

But it’s a great way for them all to take a break when their schedules line up

Huxley gets them all matching camel backs to take with them on these hikes, and the FL labels all of them, putting each person’s name with a little heart next to it

Also just imagine the drive up

Hudson likes to make playlists, so he’ll make one every time he knows they’ll be in the car for a while

(the four of them have a family plan on Spotify, so Hudson can keep an eye on what everyone is listening to lately, so he makes sure his playlists are always up to date)

He takes his job very seriously

Hux and Xavier usually sit in the front, mostly because it’s a lot more comfortable than trying to squeeze in the backseat

But Hudson will usually be leaning up over the center console so he can play with the radio or the bluetooth

Idk why, but I don’t imagine him as the best driver, so he usually stays in the backseat

The FL isn’t a bad driver, but they really only drive if the other two are tired

Okay but picture this; they’re driving back home after a weekend trip, and the FL and Hudson fall asleep in the back seat, each of them leaning against the other, so Huxley and Xavier carry the other to up to bed, and they all fall asleep in each other’s arms
