vld youtuber AU (klance, part 5)

(I apologize if the tense changes all over the place, I’m writing this as a sort of stream-of-consciousness thing because I care more about getting the idea out than writing something that’s grammatically perfect. I’ll probably clean this up and make it an actual fic once it’s all done. Thanks for reading!! :D)

part one | part two | part three | part four

There is a definite shift in Keith’s demeanor after Lance’s last visit.

They play Overwatch a few times a week, and while Keith goes into stern-leader-battle-mode when the game is going, between matches he’s loose, candid. He laughs at Lance’s jokes and makes casual conversation about his job, the garage, tells funny stories about Kosmo. Lance tells Keith stories about the customers he has at the cafe. It’s nice to hear a softness in Keith’s voice that Lance hadn’t heard before.

Keith shows up in nearly all of Lance’s Overwatch videos, even if his mic isn’t recorded. They sort of fall into a rhythm, meeting online every Tuesday and Thursday night to search for servers.

“Y’know,” Keith says one night while they’re in queue. “I wouldn’t have figured you for a sniper type.”

“Eh?” Lance is in his Widowmaker menu at that moment, flipping between two skins to see which one he likes more. “What d’you mean?”

“I don’t mean it in a bad way,” Keith clarifies, and it sounds like he’s smiling. “You just seem like more of a Mercy or a support or something. You’re really…” he pauses. “Generous. Always helping people. Then you get in here and you turn into a cold blooded assassin.”

Lance laughs. “I’ve always played a sniper, though. Gotta have balance somewhere, yeah?”

“Yeah.”

They text a lot. It’s all small stuff, like pet photos or memes (which Keith doesn’t understand 90% of the time and Lance finds that kind of adorable). But it’s nice. Occasionally they’ll both have an early shift, and Lance will text Keith photos of the ancient espresso grinder, captioned “this thing wants me dead” surrounded with skull emojis. Keith’s sense of humor, Lance learns, is dry as cracker juice. He gets a photo of a broken rubber floor mat with the question, “what sound does a floor mat make when it splits right before a fitness class?” Before Lance can answer, he gets another photo of the same mat, this time with Keith’s middle finger pointing soundly at it. “That sound,” says the caption. Lance laughs so hard that his boss yells at him for being on his phone during a shift.

August comes to an end, and Pidge prepares for her final term. Lance helps by assisting in an apartment clean out, getting rid of literal clutter to ease Pidge’s impending mental clutter. Lance tries not to think about how this might be their last few months in this apartment together. He’s really enjoyed living with Pidge - he wasn’t exaggerating when he said she was like a sister. Pidge is an extension of his family, ever since they met at space camp all those years ago. She’d been a tiny, fluffy, indomitable ball of pure snark and Lance loved her immediately. Since then, they’d stuck together, seeing each other through some of the hardest times. Lance had cheered his lungs out when Pidge was handed her high school diploma, and in a few months, he’d see her walk across another stage in a cap and gown to receive her bachelor’s degree in Robotic Engineering.

It made him a little misty-eyed to think about it.

Pidge is playing Stardew Valley one afternoon (how the hell did she manage to make such an insanely profitable farm before the end of year one?) when she casually brings up one of Lance’s favorite fall events.

“You gonna go to the Founder’s Fair this year?”

Lance doesn’t even look up from his phone. “Uh, is the Pope catholic?”

“Good.” On the screen, Pidge’s character gives a bouquet to Penny. Dating everyone but marrying no one: the Pidge method. “Hunk is coming in for it.”

“Sweet.”

The Harborville Founder’s Fair was the highlight of every autumn. Right as the summer was fading away and the air was showing a hint of a chill, Oceanside Park would explode into three days of carnival rides, food trucks, fireworks, and everything in between. It was also the best time of year to surf - they didn’t get much in the way of waves here, but there would always be just enough in late September to rent a board. Lance had put in his time off request a month ago, buttering up his boss with the ‘this might be my last September in Harborville’ sob story. Which was sort of true, even if he wasn’t quite ready to face that reality yet.

Lance felt like he was getting closer to Keith. He wasn’t entirely sure if that was the case, but if nothing else, Keith seemed to finally be relaxing around him. There were one or two times when Lance could almost swear Keith was flirting, but he quickly shoved the thought aside. Nope, don’t go there. That’s assuming things. Assuming is dangerous.

The fair is in a week and to make up for missing work on what will be one of the busiest weekends of the year, Lance is working at the cafe nearly every day. He has more steam burns on his hands and wrists from making lattes than ever, and he thinks if he hears the word “pumpkin spice” one more time he might lose it. He hasn’t played Overwatch all week, too tired from extra shifts to do anything other than zone out to Netflix when he gets home.

He’s got two hours left in his Thursday morning shift, then he’s free for the whole weekend. He can practically taste the funnel cakes now - and the Rancho Alegre food truck, the only decent source of Cuban food in the entire state, will be there. God, he’s going to eat until he can’t move.

The morning rush has come and gone and the afternoon crowd isn’t here yet, so Lance is cleaning up the mess of coffee grounds and cinnamon around his work station when the bell on the cafe door sounds. He doesn’t look up as his coworker/supervisor Romelle greets whoever walks through, too preoccupied with wondering how the hell almond milk ended up underneath the grinder.

“Hello,” says the customer and Lance totally knows that voice. He stops wiping sour milk and looks up.

It’s Shiro. And right behind him is Allura and - oh shit. It’s Keith. He’s here, he’s here in the cafe and Lance had no idea he was coming and he probably looks like shit, overworked with bags under his eyes and his face breaking out from stress and he didn’t even shampoo his hair this morning because he was running late --

But then Keith smiles at him and wow. His hair is down and he’s wearing this black and red leather jacket and it should be illegal to look that good. Especially when Lance is such a mess.

“Hi,” Lance says, hating how his voice cracks. “What are you guys doing in town?”

Shiro is pulling out his wallet with his left hand. “We came for the fair. It was always one of my favorite things about going to school here.”

“Oh,” Lance squeaks.

They’re here for the fair. Lance might get to spend time at the fair with Keith. He forces himself to focus on the present before a dozen fantasies of ferris wheel rides and sharing cotton candy can take over his brain.

They all order drinks and Lance claims them before Romelle can even finish ringing them up. Shiro gets a hazelnut americano, Allura orders a tuxedo mocha, and Keith shyly asks for a latte. Lance can tell he doesn’t go to coffee shops often and makes the drinks carefully. He can’t embellish Shiro’s americano, but he uses chocolate sauce and extra foam to draw a bow tie in Allura’s mug. For Keith’s latte, he sends a prayer to the coffee gods to grant him latte art prowess. It works, and Lance is rounding out rings of coffee and foam, pulling through to form a perfect heart.

He slides the mug across the counter to Keith, who’s eyebrow shoot into his hair. He breaths a little “wow” and blushes, taking the mug and smiling. He’s wearing fingerless leather gloves. Lance’s heart flip-flops in his chest.

The three of them find a table near the window and sit, chatting and drinking their coffee. They’re too far away for Lance to hear what they’re saying, and even if he could, he’s on the clock, and the lunchtime regulars are starting to trickle in.

Would it be gauche to text his evening shift coworker and bribe him to come in early so Lance can leave?

Lance thinks Romelle can tell he’s pouting by the way she sides up to him.

“Hey,” she whispers. “Is that the guy?”

He follows her gaze and sees that it lands firmly on the table where Keith is sitting with Shiro and Allura. Keith looks up at Lance, and smiles a little before turning back to his brother.

“Yeah,” Lance whispers back, feeling his face heat up. “The one with the long hair.”

Romelle lets out a low whistle. “Quite the catch,” she says, waggling her eyebrows. “What about the girl they’re with?”

“Allura?” Lance thinks. “I don’t know her very well, but she’s nice.”

“She single?”

Lance rolls his eyes and starts on the next drink. “No idea, you should ask her.”

It’s slower today and Lance is thankful for it. With Keith in the room, he can’t focus on anything - it’s a miracle he doesn’t catastrophically screw up the drinks he’s making. There’s a break in customers and Romelle comes over to Lance where he loading a portafilter with espresso and waves her phone.

“I’ll make you a deal,” she says, and he does not like that voice. That’s her Supervisor Voice. “I’ll call Ryan in an hour early if you get me Cute Girl’s number.”

Lance puts the tamp down. “Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

He looks over at the table where Keith is sitting. They’ve all finished their drinks and will probably be leaving soon.

“Romelle,” Lance states. “You are an evil super villain and I love you. Consider that number yours.”

Fifteen minutes later, Ryan Kinkade is walking in and he doesn’t look particularly thrilled about it. Lance takes off his apron and motions at the jar of cash by the register.

“Ryan, you’re a lifesaver and my tips are yours. Thank you!” Lance clocks out before anyone can argue and walks over to where Keith and Co are sitting. He’s very much aware of how he probably reeks of coffee and looks like garbage but does his best to smile anyway.

“My shift is over, did you guys have any plans?”

Shiro smiles and stands. “I think we were going to head to our Air B&B and check in, actually. We could use a breather after that drive. We can meet up for dinner later, if you want.”

Inwardly, Lance lets out a sigh of relief because this means he’ll have time to take a shower and make himself presentable. “That sounds good! Any place you want to go?”

Shiro shrugs. “Is Vinnie’s still open?”

Lance lights up. “Oh yeah, still as good as ever, too! Want to meet there at, uh - “ He checks his phone, it’s barely 3pm. “Around five? We should beat most of the dinner rush that way.”

They all nod and the plans are made. They walk outside together and Lance watches the three of them get into a very nice Chrysler sedan - maybe Allura’s, given how she goes for the driver’s seat. Once they’re gone, Lance heads for his car and books it home. He immediately washes and exfoliates his face, then applies an anti-inflammatory mask and works at cleaning up the apartment. It was already fairly clean since Hunk will be crashing on the pull-out sofa bed for the weekend, and he has no idea of Keith will ever even see this place, but Lance doesn’t want to take any risks.

He shoots Pidge a text to tell her about their plans in case she wants to join. Hunk isn’t due until tomorrow morning.

Apartment clean(er) and his face mask dry and itchy, Lance hops in the shower and scrubs himself sore. Keith is here and will be spending the weekend here and Lance is equal parts ecstatic and terrified. He meticulously goes through his whole grooming routine, moisturizes, swabs, trims his eyebrows, even files his nails. He checks his reflection once he’s done and thankfully his face is less red, the stress acne barely noticeable.

There’s still about 45 minutes until he needs to be at Vinnie’s so Lance takes his time picking out clothes. He settles for a low cut tank top that shows off his collarbones and a beige button down over it with the sleeves rolled up, finishing it off with a pendant necklace and grey skinny jeans. He examines himself in the mirror and frowns a little. Does it look too much like date clothes?

He doesn’t have time to change because then his phone pings and it’s Shiro, saying they’re heading to Vinnie’s a little early. Lance all but throws himself out the door.

Vinnie’s is starting to get crowded, Lance can already see the line forming when he parks. He spots Shiro and Allura easily, their white hair making them stand out. They’d managed to claim a patio table - no small feat - and were chatting happily.

Lance joins them and it’s amazing how welcome he feels in this group, the way Shiro half-pulls a chair out for Lance. Keith is sitting to his right, his jacket draped over the back of his chair, the black t-shirt he wore stretching nicely over his chest. And if he didn’t know any better, Lance could swear he saw Keith’s eyes sweep down his neck and linger.

They ate and laughed and ate more, drinking fancy gourmet sodas. They make loose plans for the weekend - beach tomorrow, then the fair on Saturday, and maybe brunch before they leave on Sunday. Lance educates Keith in the ways of the garlic knot, the most sacred food item on earth. And when Keith shrugs and says they’re “alright,” Lance feigns offense, gasping and clutching his chest.

Pidge joins them later, looking utterly spent from a long day of classes. Lance gives up his seat so she can collapse into it. He kneels beside the table instead, passing Pidge the last of their pizza and appetizers. Keith gives him a look, then scoots over to one side of his chair, patting the other with his hand.

Lance short circuits, looking from the empty side of the chair to Keith’s face several times.

Keith rolls his eyes. “Get up here. That,” he points to where Lance is kneeling, “Is super bad for your knees.”

“Oh?” Lance slides into place, and it’s sort of uncomfortable with half of his ass hanging off the chair, but he can feel heat pouring off Keith’s body with how close he is. “You care much about my knees?”

Keith goes super red. “I’m a physical trainer,” He said, suddenly very interested in his soda. “It’s my job to care. Doing stuff like that will ruin them.”

“Right.”

Lance glances over at Pidge, who had a garlic knot halfway to her mouth and giving Lance the most predatory grin. He glares at her to shut down whatever evil plans she might be formulating.

They finally finish the food and decide to stop taking up a table, bussing it themselves to save the staff some work. Instead of a bar, they decide to head over to Lance and Pidge’s apartment to chill - half because Pidge isn’t 21 yet and wouldn’t be able to join them at most of the bars in town, and half because Vinnie’s was so loud that they’re all craving some quiet.

Lance is so thankful that his past self had the sense to clean a little more. They all sprawl out over the living room, Lance going to pull a chair from the kitchen to sit on so the guests can have the nice couch and Pidge can curl up in the easy chair. Lance offers up the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and everyone takes one; Allura seems to be examining hers with great interest, like she’s never had one before.

Shiro talks a lot, mostly about what Harborville was like when he and Matt were in college. About their first apartment that should probably have been condemned, the dogs he’d walk between classes for extra cash. Eventually Lance’s cats come out of hiding to investigate, and Keith goes starry-eyed at Batou’s big green eyes and plush grey coat.

Pidge falls asleep in her chair just after nine. Everyone takes a second to coo at how cute she is before Lance bends down to scoop her up.

“Lemme put sleeping beauty here to bed. If she stays there she’ll be sore and cranky when she wakes up.”

He takes Pidge to her room and sets her on her bed, then wrestles her sneakers off her feet, setting her glasses on the bedside table and draping a sheet over her. When he goes back into the living room and sits in the chair he’d removed Pidge from, Allura gives him a fond look.

“You’re very sweet to her.”

Lance shrugs. “She’s pretty much family. Also, I have to do that all the time. I’ve found her face down on her homework out here more times than I want to count.”

They talk for another two hours. Lance feels a little lonely with Keith sitting on the side of the couch furthest from him, but then again, if he was closer, Lance isn’t sure his brain would work. Allura yawns wide.

“I think it’s time we turned in,” she states. “I’d like to get some rest before the weekend starts.”

Shiro agrees. Lance ends up seeing them off in the parking lot, waving as they drive away.

Hunk arrives just after 10am the next morning, armed with bags of groceries to pack a picnic for the beach. He puts Lance and Pidge on an assembly line in the kitchen, making pork sandwiches, vegetable rolls, hummus wraps, crab and radish tartines, potato salad, and chocolate-dipped clementine slices. He’d picked up a package of Lance’s favorite lemon cream cookies and Lance could almost kiss him for it.

With their precious picnic food carefully packed in an ice chest along with plenty of drinks, Lance shot a group text to Keith, Shiro, and Allura to ask if they were ready for the beach. He got confirmation quickly, and they agreed to hit the north shore near the lighthouse, where the sand was rougher but the tourists tended to be a little thinner.

Parking is a bitch but they find a spot, then wait by the trunk for Keith and Co to arrive. About ten minutes later Lance sees Allura’s Chrysler pull in to a spot. They walk over to meet them and Lance is practically bouncing, because 1) he gets to go to the beach, 2) he gets to go surfing with Hunk, 3) he gets to spend time with new friends, and 4) Keith is here. Everyone is in shorts and light shirts, Allura has this big floppy sun hat that is absolutely precious on her, and Keith’s face is shiny with sunscreen. Lance bets that fair skin of his will still be red by the end of the day.

They find a spot that’s decently clear and set up. Hunk, Keith, and Lance tackle the portable canopy that will hopefully keep them all from becoming completely sunburned while Allura and Pidge set out the sand blanket and arrange their stuff to keep the wind from blowing it away. Once they’re settled, the ice chest is opened and sodas and juice are passed around. The wind is strong today but not enough to be a problem for their canopy, and the waves are large and plentiful. Lance eyes the surfboard rental shack a quarter mile down the beach.

Once they’ve had enough of snacking and chatting, Lance gives Hunk fingerguns and they almost take off down the beach together, making a beeline for the surfboards. Rolo is working it as usual and after some searching they find the perfect boards and duck into the changing tent to get into their springsuits. Lance has the white and blue suit up over his hips and was about to pull it the rest of the way on when he remembers that Keith is sitting out there. Ever since Lance learned he was a Crossfit trainer, he’d started running and working out again. He wasn’t in as good a shape as he was when he’d been swimming competitively, but thanks to months of regular exercise, he at least sort of looked the part again. And maybe he wanted to show off a little. So Lance left the top of his springsuit open and hanging from his hips as they went back to the group with their boards.

“Showoff,” Hunk accused while they were still out of earshot of everyone else.

Lance subtly flexed his chest. “So? I worked hard for this.”

When they got back to the canopy, Lance did his best to act nonchalant as he set his board aside and started pulling his springsuit up over his chest. Keith was definitely looking at him. Mission accomplished.

His flirty nature satisfied, it was time to surf. Lance missed this so much, the first step into the ocean water was like heaven. He and Hunk paddled out until the water was smooth, then sat on their boards and waited. They didn’t have to wait long, Hunk caught the first good wave that came their way, riding it out and away. Lance caught the next one, and it was a crazy high. It just felt so good, cutting through the water with his board, turning, riding through tunnels of blue-green. The waves tossed him, wrecked him, dragged his body against the sand below. But every time, Lance would surface, shake it off, and paddle out for another go.

His legs finally started to shake, so Lance hauled his board back to the shore. Hunk was already sitting under the canopy again, changed out of his springsuit and sipping on a juice box.

“I was gonna give you ten more minutes before I dragged you out of the water,” Hunk said.

Lance didn’t reply, chest heaving as he caught his breath. His board hits the sand and he all but collapses onto the sand sheet, his ears ringing.

A water bottle appeared in his periphery. Lance looked up enough to trace the hand that held it back to Keith, who was wearing this cute little smile. Lance smiled back and took the bottle, downing half of it in one gulp.

Pidge starts pulling out food and Lance blindly eats whatever is handed to him, too exhausted to care what it is. It’s all delicious but with how many calories he burned surfing, he could probably be eating stale saltines and they’d taste like a delicacy. He leans back on the sand sheet and basks in the post-surf euphoria.

Lance notices everyone starting to get up. Allura is holding several frisbees with a gleam in her eye, and most of the group is rising to join her. Keith stands and, after fiddling with the collar of his shirt for a second, reaches back and pulls it over his head, letting it drop to the ground.

Lance is instantly awake because holy shit. Keith is ripped. He’s all tight skin and perfect muscles and - oh.

He’d been wrong when he’d assumed Keith’s tattoo was a wolf. It’s actually a lion, roaring fiercely, emblazoned in dark red ink over his left hip.

Keith takes a hair tie off his wrist and uses it to pull his hair up high on the back of his head. He shoots Lance a loaded glance before walking out into the sun to join everyone else for a game of frisbee tag. Lance memorizes the muscles of his back as he goes.

“Good god, you’re so loud.”

Lance sits up and turns to see Pidge, sitting in the center of the sand sheet in her shorts and green rash guard, with her phone in one hand and a cookie in the other.

“I didn’t say anything!” Lance protests. Pidge just cocks an eyebrow at him.

“Not with words, anyway.”

Lance frowns, then dares to look back out at his friends, finding Keith and tracking his movements across the beach.

They empty the ice chest of food and drink and, after several more hours of beach fun, they decide to pack it in and head out. Lance is going to remember this day for the rest of his life - the image of Keith glistening wet as he walked out of the ocean had finally taught Lance the meaning of the phrase “looks good enough to eat.”

Lance is so, so tired. Surfing wore him out but he still played a round of beach volleyball after that, and then swam some more. He’s going to be so sore tomorrow. He drives himself, Hunk, and Pidge back to their apartments to shower and change before they head over to the Air B&B where Shiro, Keith, and Allura are staying. Lance decides on a regular shirt and his favorite jeans, only bothering to put a single layer of moisturizer on his face.

The Air B&B turns out to be a whole house, with a yard and a little deck where they all gather around faded patio furniture as Shiro hands out beers. He gives Pidge a look as she takes one for herself.

“What?” She says as she twists off the top of the bottle. “I’m gonna be 21 in a few months, I’m in safe company, and I’m not driving.”

Shiro just sighs and sits down.

They talk and laugh for hours. Pidge only has one beer before switching to sweet tea, and Lance is a little relieved. He has no idea what drunk Pidge would be like and he’d rather not find out this weekend - he would be cash money that she’d be ornery as hell. Hunk orders some delivery from their favorite noodle place when Lance isn’t paying attention. Keith looks happy as a kid on Christmas with a giant bowl of pho in front of him, and Lance learns that Vietnamese food is his favorite.

They move inside once the sun goes down to keep from bothering the neighbors. Lance settles into a corner of the faded couch, and is too tired to panic when Keith sits next to him. Hunk launches into a story about his last term at school when he almost blew the breaker for the entire engineering building and Lance tries to pay attention, but he’s worn out and Keith is radiating heat like a furnace. Combine that with his full stomach and a couple of beers and he’s so, so sleepy.

Someone is calling his name and Lance inhales sharply, eyes fluttering open. It was Hunk, who’s smiling at him from across the coffee table. Lance is leaning on something warm and solid. He rubs his eyes and looks up.

He was leaning on Keith.

Lance’s eyes bug out but Keith just looks down at him with this tiny smile and a blush on his cheeks. Lance suddenly feels like the room is a million degrees as he carefully sits up.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to pass out.”

Keith laughs softly. “It’s fine.”

They all start to wrap up their stories and conversations. Lance doesn’t know what time it is but it feels late, and since they want to hit the fair tomorrow, they should all get some sleep. Hunk offers to drive home and Lance hands him the keys as Keith, Shiro, and Allura wave goodbye from the front porch.

He almost falls asleep again in the ten minutes it takes Hunk to drive them back to their apartment. Lance helps set up the pull-out sofa, then goes to brush his teeth. He’s practically nodding off at the bathroom sink when Pidge comes up to him and pulls out her phone.

“Thought you should see this,” she says, holding it up.

On the screen is a photo of Keith, and, with his head resting on Keith’s shoulder dead asleep, Lance. Keith is looking down at him and definitely blushing.

The toothbrush stills in Lance’s mouth as he swipes the phone from Pidge’s hand, using his thumbs to pull and zoom. Keith was smiling.

“Please send this to me immediately,” Lance tells her, words muffled from the toothbrush still hanging from between his teeth.

He’s in bed setting his alarm when he gets the text from Pidge with the photo attached. And if Lance hugs a pillow and kicks his feet a little at the sight, who could blame him?

[podcast intro music]

[Soft jazz music]

Chet Sebastian [Mellow] So then Charlie Parker pulled his gun, but, hey, that’s jazz, right? This has been Chet Sebastian’s Jazz corner. Thanks for listening, and stay cool, cats.

[Rock intro music]

Sammy Good evening, I’m Sammy Stevens and you’re listening to King Falls AM. That’s 660 on the radio dial. This is my first show. Hell, its my first day in King Falls! so let’s talk about it, shall we?

[CENSOR BEEP]

Sammy And I think we just set our first record on the show, ladies and gents. Getting bleeped in the first thirty seconds.

Ben Language. We’re family friendly.

Sammy It’s 2 AM, Ben. *small laugh* I mean, I think we can probably give hell a pass.

[BEEP]

Sammy Okay, new rule: if it’s part of Carlin Seven[1] or derivatives of: bleep away. Other than that, let’s cool the censor jets, Ben. Uh, for all you listening out there, I’d love to introduce you to our producer, Benjamin Arnold.

Ben That’s okay.

Sammy We’re live, Benny.

Ben It’s Ben. And I-I just- I don’t wanna, ruin the, journalistic integrity o—

Sammy Of this show? We’re an AM late night talk show.

Ben As I was saying: I don’t want to ruin the journalistic integrity of myself, Sammy.

Sammy Oh, it’s besmirched. It's solidly besmirched. So, why don't you just, uh, make use of that mic, and pull it up, and have at it?

Ben *sighs* [bleep]

Sammy *laughs* Alright, you’re here with Sammy and Ben. Not Benjamin, not Benny, but Ben. Uh, he’s my producer, our journalist-with-integrity, and uh, professional censorist.

Ben *laughs* Oh, man.

Sammy As I was saying kids, it’s my first day on the job here, my first day in town, and I’d love to open up the phone lines to you, our lovely King Falls listeners, and talk about this beautiful little place.

Ben [proudly] It is nice, isn’t it?

Sammy h- Nice doesn’t even begin to describe it. I mean, the little shops, the scenery. It's literally a mountain Mayberry.[2]

Ben Oh, you have no idea! We’ve been voted best small town in America six years straight by the King Falls Chamber of Commerce.

Sammy … The town voted the town, Best Small- Town in America?

Ben Oh yeah! There was a ribbon presentation, a parade down Main Street. Six years running.

Sammy I’m not sure that’s the way it works, Ben.

Ben Couldn’t imagine being anywhere else in the world.

Sammy Alright, now, wait a second. You were talking to me right before the show started, and it’s your dream job to be one of the great journalists of all time. “Cronkite. Brokaw. Ben Arnold.”

Ben That’s the dream! That-that’s the goal.

Sammy But you can’t imagine being anywhere else.

Ben [awkwardly] Well! Let’s be fair. There’s-There’s the King Falls Gazette, there’s- King Falls AM, of course. Even those clowns over at Channel 13. If you knew King Falls, you’d know that everything you ever need to talk about, is right here.

Sammy Huh. Well, you know, maybe you’ve got a point. I mean, worst case scenario, you’re gonna have a great perspective on the ribbon cutting ceremonies.

Ben [excitedly] Actually, I’ve had a great perspective for the past three years! And last year? I got a seat next to Mayor Grisham. *pleased huff* I could see that velvety blue ribbon being cut.

Sammy Alright, alright. Riveting stuff, Ben. But you know what, before we open up the phone lines tonight, to uh, talk to you folks for the first time, I’d like to take one hot minute and just send a special shout out to a new friend of the show, Deputy Troy, uh, Craiger, Kroger?

Ben [disdainfully] Kreighauser.

Sammy That’s the one! Now, Deputy Troy could’ve dropped an elbow on me with the long arm of the law when he pulled me over this evening.

Ben He pulled you over?! *chuckles* Wow. I thought his car was just decoration. What the heck did you do that he pulled you over?

Sammy Yeah, okay. It was the weirdest thing. So, I’m running late, and I can’t miss the first show, right? So I’m gunning it. Over the mountain, through the woods, no time for grandma, and uh, you know, maybe I’m just not used to the winding roads up here, but I get-I get a little lost and my phone zoinks out and I got no GPS, I got no Apple Maps (not that anybody’s using it) and—

Ben Don’t tell me- Sweetzer Forest?

Sammy That is exactly where! How-How did you know that?

Ben Oh, it gets everybody! The listeners know that. Legend has it, there’s an apparition of an old general that changes the directions on the signs so he doesn’t lead his troops into one of the bloodiest massacres in King Falls history.

Sammy Cool story, bro, but, there wasn’t a sign.

Ben That’s a new one! Thinking on his toes. I like it!

Sammy The ghost?

Ben Whoa! They prefer apparition. Like, when you call a dwarf a midget, and it’s not cool?

Sammy Okay. So you’re telling me that instead of just getting lost up in the hills, a ghost—

Ben Apparition.

Sammy *chuckles* An apparition, was screwing with me?

Ben That's one hundred percent what I’m saying. It gets everybody.

Sammy … Right.

Ben You don’t believe me? They don't have apparitions in the Big City, Sammy?

Sammy Not that I’m aware of, no.

Ben *scoffs* Let’s go to the phones. King Falls, our new pal, Sammy, doesn’t believe in the Sweetzer Forest apparition. 424-279-3858.

Sammy Okay now. I’m not saying I—

Ben [cutting him off] Phone lines are already blowing up! Uh, let’s see, I don't know, oh-uh, line six! Deputy Troy.

Sammy Deputy Troooy!

Deputy Troy [laughing] Y'all should’ve seen it. General Abilene got him good.

Sammy General Abilene? He has a name now?

Ben You never read about Abilene’s last stand? What are they teaching you Big City kids? [making a point] Well, why’d you pull him over, Troy?

Sammy Okay, obviously , I was going a little too fast for my own good—

Deputy Troy I sure didn’t see no speedin’, Benny.

Ben [flatly] It’s Ben.

Deputy Troy Sammy looked like a dog chasin’ its tail for for damn near twenty minutes! Guy was just goin’ in circles. Looked like he was lappin’ the field in the King Falls 500!

Ben Sound familiar, Sammy?

Sammy Circles? No. I mean, I took a left here, and a right there. It couldn’t have been more than a minute or two before Deputy Troy threw up the ol’ red and blues.

Deputy Troy Try twenty minutes. If I hadn’t’a intervened, it’s a fact we’d all be listening to ol’ Chet blow that horn for another couple hours. You gotta watch out for the general! He’s sneakier than a honey badger in a bee hive!

Ben See?

Deputy Troy Ah hell, [low siren in bg] I think I just saw one of the William’s boys just ding-dong-ditch ol’ Ms. Baker. [faint tire squeal] I gotta go boys. [quietly in bg] Ah, son of a b[bleep]! That little mother[bleep]!

Sammy Well, on that note boys and girls, [click] we’re gonna pay some bills and keep the lights on in our little cabin we call a radio station. Ben and I will be right back after a message from our sponsors.

[Car horn, tire squeal, sound of car crashing]

Announcer voice Uh-oh! Have you recently been in an automobile accident!? Are you tender over a fender-bender?

High-pitched voice Owwwiee!

Announcer Don’t let the insurance company fool you into just unscuffin’ and buffin’! Let Rosenburg, Rothchild and Dirk get you the settlement that you deserve!

Caveman voice DIRK GET YOU MONEY

Woman [singing jauntily] ♫Iiif you got your car smashed by some jerk, call Rosenburg Rothchild aaand-♫

Caveman DERRRRRK!

Finn All the twinkle-twinkle lights, pretty-as-a-picture. You know!

Line 2 [shouting] Shotgun Sammyyy!

Ben [eagerly] You gotta see this! That truck driver wasn’t kidding! The whole place is lit up like- Christmas! or- something. Uh- Is anyone else out there seeing this? Look, the phone lines are on fire, man.

Sammy Uh, Line 1, you’re on the air.

Line 1 Hey guys, yeah, I’m- I’m, uh- I’m seein’ it the same as you are.

Sammy Well, now, who are we talking to?

Line 1 Oh, sorry, uh, Tim. Tim Jensen. I’m heading home from work out on Route 72? And I’m-I’m looking at the lights.

Ben That looks like the direction they’re coming from.

Tim Yeah, there’s no doubt about that. They’re-they’re right on top of the old mill down off- Clower Street. It looks like- you’re looking into like, three different suns.

Sammy Three?

Tim Yeah, these, uh- rainbow- lights? I-I don’t know what you’d call ‘em. They’re coming from these three triangle-shaped thingies.

Ben UFOs?

Tim Hey- Hey. I did not say the “U” word. I said Triangle. Shaped… Thingies.

Sammy [glibly] You know, a technical term.

Ben W-w-what’re the triangles doing, Tim?

[eerie sci-fi bg music]

Tim They’re just hovering! I’d say maybe two or- or three stories up off the ground? [getting slightly nervous] They’ve moved on past the mill now.

Sammy Wh-wh- Can you describe—

[deep, ominous, pulsing whir enters music]

Tim Wai-wait. Hold on a second, they’re- they’re moving closer to the road I think.

Sammy Alright, you are our eyes, Tim. Tell us what you see.

Tim [absently worried] The hell is that thing doing?

Sammy Be careful out there, Tim.

Tim It just turned the other direction, and-and- and crossed the road. Couple hundred yards ahead- I-I’m gonna slow down.

[whirring stops]

Sammy Describe, if you can—

Tim It just stopped! [music stops] Right above the road!

Ben Stopped? W-what’re-

[whir]

Tim The lights just changed direction again! It’s definitely heading this way!

Sammy Turn around, Tim.

[slow, building whir]

Tim Oh hell, th- they’re coming fast! Guys!

Ben Get out of there, Tim!

Sammy Ben, call Deputy Troy. [deep whir growing in volume] Stay safe out there Tim!

Tim Ah sh[bleep] They’re-they’re right above me! I-I can’t see! [whir is louder than voices] The lights! NO! [loud building buzz/zoom, like a racecar accelerating] NO! NOO! *SCREAMING*

[silence]

[dial tone]

Sammy Tim? Hello, Tim? Can- Tim?

Ben [solemnly] Line’s dead, Sammy.

Sammy *heavy sigh* O-okay, uh folks, we’re just gonna take a quick break here. Uh, we’ll be right back to take more of some of your King Falls favorites.

Ben I-I’ve got Troy here.

[quietly in background: Sammy: Troy, hey are you listening to this? Ben, can you try to dial line one back, please?]

Patty is digging in a old bag and pulls out a old coloring book.

“Remember this Jude “patty says holding up a Disney coloring book.

“ you probably already know this but Jude was a very stressed out little boy. When I cooked he would color just like Justice even as a teenager.” Patty says as she puts the coloring book in front of Jude .Jude has never told anyone but he has coloring apps on his phone and iPad that he uses when he’s by himself. Some play games on the bedroom Jude colors.

“Share your crayon baby girl”Patty says

Patty kisses the top of Justice’s head and then comes closes to doing the same with Jude. She stop herself. Markus comes in dancing his way to a sad Patty.

“It’s our song” Markus say.

George Benson Moody mood is on. Markus pulls Patty to him and they start to sway to the music.

Jude was too busy watching his mother to color at the moment or to even eat .Jude is at a lost he has so many feeling at the moment that he was bursting at the seams. He didn’t t know what to do.

Noah had a feeling that he was needed so he take a seat next to Jude.

“ hey my Dane are you ok?” Noah whispers.

Jude couldn’t talk so he shook his head no.

Noah can see the tears in jude ‘s eyes.

The song end and Patty stops dancing.

“ Jude I worked all day making your favorite please tell me your not too Californian to eat my cooking.”Patty says without really looking at what’s going on.

“Want to talk to your mom alone?” Noah quietly

“ Jude are you crying” Justice says loudly

Jude quickly wipes his face and shakes his head no.

Patty appeared like she’s a ghost right next to jude .

“Jude? Baby are you ok?”

“ I’m not good at all of this.”Jude says

“ I know it’s ok it’s a lot to take in . Can I hug you or you want to go talk about it some place private?”

“ please”

“ to what baby?” patty asked

Jude lets go of Noah’s hand and hugs his mom for the first in 8 years.

Patty looses it and bust out in tears Marcus takes Justice out of the room in the middle of her asking questions.

Noah was about to get up when jude grabs his hand.

“ please Noah”jude says

“I’m not going anywhere “

Patty and Noah both rub Jude’s back and head.

“ can I talk to you both ?”

“ of course . The battery are still dead it’s just me your mr.”

“ promise “jude said

“ promise I swear on my mothers grave”noah says.

“ let’s go to the guest room.” Patty says as she leads her son and new son in law to the guest room down the hall.

Jude notices multiple boxes of things that belong to him as a child.

“ I’m not good at any of this. I’m not good at being happy I’m not good at being loved I’m not good at anything but work.”

“ I will be forever sorry for the roll I played in all of this Jude. I’m so sorry”patty saids

Noah sits on the bed. Then Patty does too.Jude stayed standing in what looks like a quest room /junk room.

“ you know how you said that there is so much I hold on to”Jude says to Noah

“Yeah because you do”noah say

“ well I have this sudden need to tell you both everything.”Jude says

“You do?”Noah asked

“Yeah” Jude says quietly

“ I’m all ears baby whatever you want to tell me I’m here”Patty says

Jude started off by telling them why he came to LA. In the first place. Then he told them about how Oscar treated him.

“ Noah you know how I said I would do anything to have a seat at the table?”

“ yeah “

“ Oscar had me to drop off a package one night and the next thing I knew it a former devilgirl was killed. Oscar told me to never tell anyone about it.”Jude say

“ Jude you don’t know what that was about” patty says before noah could say anything.

“ Yeah Jude you don’t.” Noah says

“ if I didn’t go that day and dropped off what ever it was that devilgirl could still be alive”jude says

“Jude you can’t think like that. You know better now you were desperate to be accepted by your father you had no friend or anyone. You know that you were wrong now and you’re not going to do anything like it now. Right?”noah says

“ but Noah “jude said

“ no jude you don’t know what it was about it could have been Oscar paying off a city official or a referee or hell maybe a hooker.”Patty says

Jude sighs and finally sits down.

Patty hears the timer go off.

“Marcus go ahead and eat we will eat after we finish talking.”patty says at the cracked door.

After that he told them about the coke and how he got hit by Pete.Noah couldn’t help but to just shake his head at Jude’s antics.

Jude didn’t seem to notice.

Then Jude stop for a second to take a deep breath before he started to talk about bring zero to La. this is what noah was most interested in.

Jude told them how they meet after practice in Ohio.

“ if you don’t mind me asking was there a spark from the beginning?”Noah asked

“ he was attractive but I’m around a lot of men that look like him so I didn’t think anything about it until he started to flirt with me. He was always touching me and standing so close to me.i was confused by all of it until the scandal happened.He was upset and I just went for it then i freaked out.”

“You made the first move?”noah say I total shock

“ I was different back then noah”Jude said

“Apparently “Noah says

Jude continues his story of everything that happened between zero and himself.

“ We were each other’s only family .He was my only friend besides Lionel. We looked out for each other he never betray me. I could tell him anything and it would never go anywhere. Life was crazy when he came out but life was good. Coming home to someone was great. He would help me with investors.He would give me great pep talks but he was far from perfect. He never called me his boyfriend. He didn’t cuddle much and holidays and birthday were all a no go with him.he would never tell me what’s really going on in his head. Hell he never even told me his birthday I don’t think anyone knows his birthday.” Jude says

“ wow he doesn’t seem very funny or nice baby” patty says

“ he was different mom that’s the only way to describe him. Being with Noah honestly makes me happy he didn’t accept my proposal “

“You proposed to him jude! No no no what were you thinking” patty says

“ I thought he was the right one for me”

“ So you were still in the mindset that no one should love you completely and you would settle for someone that tolerated you to a point.”noah says quietly

Jude looks at him and thinks hard about what was just said to him.

“ I never thought about it but you might be right. “Jude says

Noah gets up and sits next to jude and wraps his arms around him .

“ I want everything he didn’t want with you I want to throw you birthday get togethers and have family Christmas and I have to get you the most cheesy Valentine’s Day gifts. I want to tell everyone you are my husband when they meet you .I will hold your hand until my palm is sweaty.”noah say with a sweet smile on his face.

“ your hands are always sweaty”jude says

“ I can’t help that I’m hot.”noah says

“ yes you are “ patty say

“ mom”Jude says

“ I can’t help you have great taste in good looking men”patty say

“ thank patty” noah says

Jude smiles and tells them about the proposal. Jude had ever Hetero traditionally item for a cozy at home proposal.

“ That sounded really nice Jude “ noah says

“I bet the ring was beautiful “patty says

“ Lionel said it was”jude says with a sigh

“ I like yours better though”jude say to noah

Noah looks down at his rings. It was one step away from being too blingy for him it was prefect.

“ I love them jude” Noah says

“ can I see “ patty says

Noah hands his mother in law his fist to show off the rings.

“ oh there one more “noah say

“ don’t show her that one” jude whines

“Why not?”

“It’s cheap and silly” Jude says

“ its sweet romantic and totally a mess “noah say

“ ok I really need to see it “ patty says

Noah shows his other hand.

“ My great Dane just had to mark what’s his “ noah say then kisses jude cheek.

“Jude Jeremiah Kinkade really? You sure did earn your pet name. You practically peed on the man.”patty says as she shakes her head

Voltron season 8 was GREAT

Yeah, you heard me, the season was great. Of course there was somes default there and there but honestly ? It’s not THAT bad.

As usual, music background were beautiful. Can’t wait to relistened to them)

I’m glad that Matt’s death wasn’t happen. And that Chip is just a robot with Matt’s glasses, not Matt’s soul in the robot like th theory (even though I greet this marvelous theory)

The super wink at the original voltron series and Pidge cosplayed as her was so surprising and amazing !! (Also, Pidge with pigtails guys !!) I loved seeing Iverson, Veronica and the others atlas crew training and talking, especially about animals ! <3

Coran Coran the gorgeous man

The “DAY 47″ episode was soo amazing ! I laughed so hard through the episode ! It so good to see a day from a camera perspective and to learn more about Kinkade ! Rizavi was really funny ! She killed me when she lol ! Bae Bae is such a good dog omg (plus, it’s a female !!) ! Colleen loved and cultivated PLANTS !! <3

The carnaval episode was really fun too ! I loved it ! Poor Hunk and Keith, Shiro the hero, Coran and his Yalmore screechs ahah wtf, Pidge going to his dad for moneys and Colleen start to negociate with her to doing family photo so funny !, and the holt family picture with Matt girlfriend being the part of the family ahh <3

Olkarion’s episode was HEARTBREAKING.

I loved when they didn’t forget the creature that Krolia and Keith let it escaped at the end of season 5 !

SLAV AND SAM’S SOCKS lmao ! Plus the “THE WEIRD WRITING THAT YOU CALLED NUMBERS” ahah

SPACE LEBSIANS (aka, Zethrid and Ezor) !! This episode was sooo damn good !

The whole Honevra setting-up for the battles, her flashbacks, the way she deeply wanted to be a family again, her battle with the Paladins... all of this were glorious, horrific/terrific and touching.

ASTRAL PLANE !! Original Paladins interacts with Team Voltron was so damn good ! I didn’t expected too much about that but woaw ! I was so welcomed !

VOICE ACTING (IN FRENCH FOR ME) WAS SO MARVELOUS !! Keith’s french voice while he talked motivation speech was beautiful ! And I totally got chills when Shiro firmly vocal his “FINE” to respond at Zethrid and she went for help them.

Same for the final Voltron at the end, I was like “What the -, they freaking fusioned ?!” That’s so badass !! Plus, all the reality flashing in their minds whilde Honerva cut the tie of other universe...! I think I spotted Arus right before Shiro’s showing but I’m not sure.

ALSO I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THE WINK AT GURREN LAGANN WITH THE DRILL ARM ??

BALMERAS AND BALMERANS !!! SHAY SAVED THE DAY Y’ALL !

About A//urance scenes, I appreciate what we got, their moments were really sweet but I can’t stop thinking that they could did better. Maybe to made the things a little less faster ? Because even if A//urance was canon, it still bugged me that things happened faster in romantic way at the first date, that Allura kept cutting Lance off several times when he was trying to talk to her to make her understand his concern about situations (or maybe it was because she had the creatures rift inside her who corrupted her senses ?), and that freaking tragic end about them relationship.

(I don’t know, guys, I don’t know how to feels about them. I’m maybe a little biased ‘cause I’m a Plance shipper and of course, I’m sad that my ship didn’t become canon, but as the episodes passed and they focused the relationship between Allura and Lance, it when the Alfor’s praise happen that I became resigned. At first, I started to believe that Plance still had a chance, but no. And even if they became canonical at the end, I don’t think I would have been satisfied if things will be rushed. I prefer way more like they ended in open way. But hey, we still have fanfiction and fanart to keep watering your plance, gardeners !

Also, to the Lance’s defense about his relationship with Allura, you see that as season of Voltron passes, Lance’s feelings were constantaly here, grow-up in a deep and serious love. In regard to watchers’s point of view, if A//urance doesn’t happen, peoples probably will be like “WTF, he loved her since day one, it’s not make sense to develop his feelings to reach to nothing at the end”, you know ?)

The Allura’s departure at the end was so sad, nearly moved at tears when Hunk started to cry !

Also, Altean!Lance dang it ! I cleary didn’t expected to that but wow I kinda like it ! And to be honest with you guys, I don’t think Lance actually became altean. I think he just has the marks for aesthetic. Even if I don’t really understand how ?? Like, did Allura give a little bit of her powers or something to him ?? and what’s the point about it ? Maybe to remind him that he has greatness inside him like a altean ?

About the time skip, when I saw Keith talking about his speechs at the Kral Zera, I totally freaking out ‘cause I thought he’ll be emperor but nah. xD

About the ending ; guess the leaks were real after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ? lol Nah but seriously, I’m pretty satisating about the ending. It show that everyone kept doing what they love. If another ship in team voltron was showed, it coulded by even worst about fans reactions. With this ending, fans can still imagine things happened between their favorite ship. I still can’t believe that these damn leaks were real omg.

Oh, also ; I was the only one to not recognize Matt with his haircut ?? I was like "who the heck is that nerd guy ??" and after that, I noticed the scar lol.

They changed Chip’s name into “Andro” in french OTL (but maybe to going with the pun “android” ? I don’t know)

I REWATCHED THE EXTRA SCENE AT THE END AND JUST NOTICED THE LIONS WERE GOING AT AN ALLURA’S SHAPED NEBULA I’M DEAD Y’ALL !! Ahhh I want to cry now !!

About negative things, I’m a little bit sad that we didn’t get to see :

- Lance using his altean broadsword.

- Pidge’s and Lance’s eyes glow individual moment with their lions.

- Lance’s character developpment arc that involving his insecurity (even if all small moments were spreaded throughts all seasons) and not having him focused ONLY to Allura

- More Pallura bonding (I was too hopeful for that unfortunately).

- More Rebels.

- Keith and James talk or apologizes to each other about their battle in the past

As I say at first, sure Voltron has his flaws, but I’ll repeat it ; VOLTRON SEASON 8 WAS GREAT

“ her unofficial name is Jaxquelyn with a x not a c but Jax for short my in-laws approves but noah was on the fence before the accident .

“ x why the x and not a c?”

“ Noah and I started our vacation in jacksonville the airport code is J-a-x. Noah’s mother’s name was jacquelyn. I felt like it was a no brained”

“ I get that. I like it. I’ll replace the Roman signs with jax’s place. What do you think?”

“ I’m blown away Derek thank you I was just going to hid out in my office for the few couple of seasons.”

“ the king and princess of la need to be see!” Derek say with a smile

Jude smiles. They are almost half way to the nicu now.

“ so how’s pax?” Jude asks

“ I’m surprised he’s doing so well . I don’t think it has completely hit him that jamie is gone.”

“ I really don’t need him to do anything stupid right now.”

“ I agree.”derek says

“ do you mind checking up on him for me.”

“ not a problem. I can handle this for you”

“ thanks I already have a grief counselor coming to speak to team and the devilgirls.”

“ ok do I need to contact the team for you? “

“ no I’ll send a message to Kyle and I’ll take care of the players. Thank you for the offer but I have everything under control at the moment “

They are entering the nicu. Jude flash his nicu wrists band to the nurses and Derek shows his Id and signs with Jude

“ you want to hold her?”

“ no I just like to see her”

“Ok”

Jude goes through the process to see the baby with Derek by his side.Jude and Derek walk into the nursery together. Jude nods to the nurses on duty. Jude hasn’t meet this nurse yet the nurse looks up from her paper work and smiles.

Derek looks around trying to find the baby before jude points her out.

“So...?””Derek say

“She is ...”jude looks around the nursery looking for the baby. There are more babies in the nursery today then last night. For a second jude gets nervous thinking something has happened to Jax .

“ where’s my daughter?”jude says quitely

The nurse looks ups up again.

“Mr Medeiros Kinkade right?

“ yes . She was right there when I last saw her.”jude say in a low yet frantic voice.

Jude points to where a little boy is now at.

Derek touches Jude’s shoulder when he finds the preemie he was looking for.

“ she’s right over there “ Derek says

Jude turns and see his little devil about 7 feet away from where she was.

“ I’m sorry I should have catch you at the door . We had to move a few babies around . I’m Tina by the way.”The nurse says looking at jude then looks to Derek.

The nurse walks over.

“ is this the mister?i was told that her other father hasn’t gotten his wrists band yet.”

“ no no” jude and Derek say looking at each other . Derek takes a step away from jude .

“ no No I like the ladies.. I’m nothing like his husband” Derek says with a chuckle.

The nurse smile and checks Derek out again.

“ don’t let him fool you he and my husband have a few things in common “

“ like what beside being tall and male”

“ I’m sure he’s just as handsome.” The early 30something nurse says

“ you both have that tall dark handsome and a being a baller but my husband is absolutelyfreakenlotly funnier then you are derek” jude says with a goofy smile.

Derek wasn’t exactly use to jude calling him handsome.

“I guess players are your thing. Who did he use to play for?”

“ He was a North Carolina tarhill player.”

“Wow I had no idea.”

“ yeah he got hurt his senior year”

“ you think he could have gone pro if he didn’t get hurt.”

“ I don’t know but he said he wasn’t being scouted .”

“Ok I guess I have something to talk to him about now. Now if you can get him to stop thinking I’m juicing then we are all good.”

“ you know why he ask for right?”

“ no no clue “Derek says

They watch as the nurse opens the incubator

“ he’s been trying to bulk up and can’t seem to do it. He wants to know your secret.”jude doesn’t want to tell derek why he wants to bulk up. Their sex life isnt none of his business .jude thinks to himself.

“ oh well I guess I’ll have to take him to the gym with me.”

Jude takes a seat in the rolling chair.

“ he would like that’s”

The nurse lays the sleeping baby on Jude’s bare chest.

“ thank you”

“ not a problem “the nurse smiles.

“ wow would you look at her.” Derek says as he’s leans over Jude’s shoulder.

“ yeah she’s something else. I’m looking forward to noah meeting her in person.”

“That’s going to be a while isn’t it ?”

“ yes it will be” jude say with a frown

Derek has the urge to talk about the baby Asha aborted. So instead of blurting out that he lost a child Derek says this.

“ do you remember coming out to me .”

Jude stops rocking the chair and I thinks

“ we never spoke about it.”

“ but we did “

“ when?”jude ask

“You were drunk off your ass in the back of the limo after we were finished partying one night this was when zero just came to town.”

“Oh was it that time I throw up on you?”

“ yes that’s it”

“ and you kept my secrets even when you stopped talking to me

“ yeah you were irrelevant to me why waste my time doing that”

“ you could have done it just to hurt me?”

Derek shrugs

“ devilnation is a screwed up family but we are still a family”Derek says

Jude nods.Jax starts to move a little.

“ oh someone wants to say hi to their uncle Derek “

Derek kneels down to see the baby’s face.

“ oh wow she has Jamie’s pretty eyes and those lips!” Derek say.

Oh no theses lips are from my husband’s Jude thinks to himself.

“ I havent seen her eyes yet. She’s always has them closed “ jude says

“ I wonder if they will change colors.”derek says

“ I don’t know .”

“ I really liked her eyes. They were beautiful “Derek says

Jude and Derek spend the next half hour with the baby. Jude has finally talked Derek into holding her.

“ she’s so small “ Derek say

“ yeah she is” jude says as he leans in trying to see his daughters eyes.

Jude frowns

“ some reason she refuses to open her eyes when I’m looking at her.”

“ I guess she’s too busy growing right now to look at her pops”Derek says

In Noah’s room there’s a knock on the door.

Noah wakes with a wince.He can heard the rookie lovebirds outside his door playful bickering at each other.

“ come in”

Ritter is first to come through the door. He’s wearing fitted dark blue jean and a vintage Pac-Man shirt. He’s holding flowers and a ballon. Johnson walks in next he has baggy black jeans on and a black muscle shirt with a thick gold chain with a pendant with the number 10 on it. Johnson is holding a bag with a stork on it.

“ did we wake you?”

“ just a little”

“ see I told you we should have waited until tomorrow.”Johnson says

“ sorry” Ritter say

“ we brought you flowers”Johnson sayn

“Ah did jude send them?”noah ask

Johnson and Ritter look at each other and then to noah who looks confused.

“ ah no there from us”Ritter says

“ oh thank you. I don’t think I have ever gotten flowers from anyone I wasn’t in a relationship with. Wait we aren’t...”

Ritter and Johnson both cringe.

“ it’s not that you’re not hot but you’re so not my type” Johnson says as he puts his hands in his pockets.

“ I’m flattered but banging our big boss’s husband is a serious no no even if your hot as fuck and totally my type.”Ritter winks and smiles at noah.

Interesting ritters the top noah thinks too himself. Noah pictures a ankle biting dog trying to screw a Great Dane . Man he needs the laugh but he couldnt laugh without hurting himself. Noah grimaces from trying to not to laugh to himself.

Johnson give Ritter a dirty look and crosses his arms.

“Wait your both gay and players?”

“ he must have hit the concrete pretty hard”Ritter says

“ you don’t remember us? Do you?”Johnson says

“ no am I suppose too?” Noah say

“ we are two of the newest devil’s”Ritter say proudly

“ oh really?”noah say

“ we are married too?”Johnson says

“ you are ?”noah says with real shock

“ yeah” Ritter say with a smile he was a little shock Johnson told noah so easily.

“ we came out to team last night.”Johnson say with a smile.

“ can I get a exclusive?”noah asked

“We are not ready to come out to the world yet”Johnson says

“He’s not but I am.” Ritter says

“ so I can’t say anything to anyone then” noah say.

“ you can tell jude but no one else outside of the devilnation “ Johnson say

“ I won’t I promise”noah says

“ so do you remember jude?” Ritter says upbrutely.

“ no I don’t”noah say. It hurt Noah’s heart to say it.

“ what! Are you serious ?! Jude must be devastated “Johnson says

“ so you don’t remember you guys were having a baby either.” Ritter say

Ritter looks upset at the thought of not remembering your own child.

Does Ritter want a child noah thinks to himself.

There’s a knock on the door.

Ritter opens it.

It’s a pizza delivery guy noah recognizes him from him and Jude’s favorite place.

“Pizza delivery for Noah. Hey noah I saw it on the new . I’m glad your going to be alright . Your one of my favorite customer.”The 20 something Asian guy says

“ I am?” Noah say

“ he doesn’t remember anything” Ritter say

“ oh bummer. The mister sent you your favorite “

The pizza delivery guy pulls out the pizza and sits it on Noah’s tray stand over his bed next to his water cup.

“ thank you.”noah says.

“ get better and sorry about the accident noah”

Johnson tips the guy before he leaves.

“ do you mind opening it for me. I’m having a little problem with my hand.noah says

“ yeah no problem “ Johnson says he leans over and opens the box.

“ That looks good”Johnson says

“ awww there a message and it’s shaped like a heart.”Ritter says

“ what does it say.”noah ask

“Please eat something noah .love jude.” Johnson says

“ now that’s a good husband” Ritter says

“That is goals I have to say”Johnson

“ I’m making a mental note” Ritter say with a smile.

Johnson leaves to get a get a paper towel for Noah.

Johnson puts one on Noah’s lap and one tucked into the top of the hospital gown.

“ why don’t you take a look at Noah’s arm” Johnson says to Ritter

“ I started physical therapy tomorrow “ noah says

“I am this close to having my degree in my sport physical therapy I graduate next year.” Ritter say.

Ritter takes a looks at Noah’s arm.

Outside of Noah’s room jude watches from a distance as his two players take care of his husband. A part of him is happy that the two men have befriended noah and the other part is jealous that noah is allowing them to help him. Jude stands in the hall watching the three men eat and talk.

In Noah’s room

Noah is tired but very much interesting in getting to know the rookies.

Johnson is sitting on the edge of Noah’s bed helping him to feed himself. Johnson takes Noah’s hand and holds Noah’s hand and almost acts like a glove. Johnson closes Noah’s hand around the pizza and then brings it to his mouth.

“Do you mind if I come back for your physical therapy tomorrow? I want to see what he has planned for you and maybe I can help.” Ritter say.

“ he’s really good he helped my cousin when she busted her ankle when running track and my dad when he fall off a ladder and hurt his back” “ sure why not come about around 2 tomorrow “ noah says

“ his family loves me” Ritter says

“ like a nother son not a son in law.”Johnson say

“ we are going to have to tell them one day” Johnson says

“ please eat I’m not going to be able to eat the whole things. Noah says

“ this isnt working very well. “ Johnson say

“ no it’s not”noah says

Johnson puts Noah’s hand down and just holds the pizza so noah can eat.

Johnson smile at noah.

“ you should really let jude help you.”

“ why I don’t know him.”

“ you don’t know me and I’m feeding you pizza “ Johnson says

“ that’s different “noah says

“How?”Ritter ask

“Well you guys are friends I guess. Imagine if you just meet each other and your piss is in a bag at the bottom of your bed and you can’t even feed yourself. How would you feel about that?”

“ I get it” Ritter says

“ is this a macho top mind sets thing”Johnson says

“I never said I was a top”noah say

“He can sniff a top out like a pig a truffle”

“ you two think just a like. You two have this idea this idea that you can’t be vulnerable with the ones that you love the most.”

“ he doesn’t even know jude”

“Your attracted to him right?

“ yes he’s hot who wouldn’t be attracted to him”

“ then why not get to know him? why not let him see you like this. This is the in sickness and in health.”

“ if I don’t remember my marriage then does it really apply to me?”

“ he has a point “ Ritter say

“ I swear you two have one brain”Johnson says

“ yet you still love me.”

“ I sometimes wonder why”

“ this have been funny but you two need to go. I’m am worn out and I’m about to fall asleep over here.”noah says while nodding off.

“ we have to go anyway we wanted to visit the baby” Ritter say

“ we brought her a little gift.” Johnson says

“I’m sure jude is mostly with her now “noah say with a yearn.

“ awsome .will you please think about giving him a chance to show you how good of a husband he can be. Please don’t throw away something good before it even really started man.” Johnson says before leaving.

Noah nods just before falling asleep.

Jude is now right outside the door .he ducks behind the plants near Noah’s room.

Ritters and Johnson walk walk out.

“ man I swear if you ever forget me I’m going to hurt you for real” Ritter say

“ I would have to have total memory lost if I ever forgot you .we have known each other’s since middle school.” Johnson says

“ true. That never happen in real life. I think we are good.”ritter says.

“ we need to get them back together.” Johnson say

“ right . We need a couple friends. They are they only one that would ever come close to understanding us”

Johnson nods his understanding.

With that they get on the elevator heading towards the nicu.

Jude steps in to Noah’s room. Noah looks asleep.jude takes the time to get rid of the pizza box and wipes off noah’s hand and face before leaving.He kisses noah goodbye and heads to the nicu.

Noah is so exhausted that he doesn’t even know jude was in the room.

At the nicu

Ritter and Johnson are at the front desk talking to the nurses by the time Jude arrives.

“ hey .”

“ hey boss” Ritter says with a smile

Johnson waves.

“ we want to check on you and the baby we just heard on the news.”

Jude smiles.

“ that is kind of you two to come by.”

“ here” Johnson says

Jude takes the bag.

“ thank you” jude looks in the bag.

He pulls out a devils throw.

“ it’s for when you have late nights at the hospital. There’s a little body suit in there for her too.

“ thank you so much it’s her first gift .”

“ she has to rep the colors seeing she is the princess of devilnation .” Johnson say

Jude smile’s at them both.

“ can we see her?” Ritter say

“We don’t want to hold her we just want to see her.” Johnson quickly says.

Jude looks to Ritter.

“ I’m fine with looking .” Ritter says

Jude walks them to the window and points to her.

“ There my tough little cookie.”

“ wow”Ritter says

“ she is small” Johnson says

“ yeah she’s right at 2 lb.”

“ less then a bag of flour”Ritter says

Jude watches the two younger men smile and point at his daughter

“We can do the dad thing in a few years.Johnson says

Ritter hufffs and shoves his hands in his pocket

“ hey who would look after the baby when we are on the road? We are young we have some time plus I like having you all to myself I don’t want to give that up yet babe.”

Ritter smiles and blushes a little.

“ Aww you like me you really like me”

Johnson rolls his eyes.

“ dumbass” Johnson says under his breath.

As Jude watches his players they remind of him of his relationship with Noah. Jude can’t help himself when he frowned and turned away. One of the nurses waved jude over.

Jude has seen her when he visited the first time today but never spoke to her before now.

“ hey are all her visitors as gorgeous as the last couple of ones.” The nurse says quitely

“ well probably “

“Score . We get eye candy for the next couple of month” she says with a smile. The other nurse seem excited by the conversation.
