The Corroded Coffin guys could always count on Eddie to write hardcore songs full of angst, songs that could make anyone feel something. It’s what made them such a hit to the drunks at The Hideout. After everything that happened over Spring Break, allegedly or otherwise, they expected to bear witness to the angstiest songs they could imagine. They thought they would hear tunes wrought with betrayal, heartache, pain, and anger.
Imagine their surprise when they came back to practice to a bunch of love songs.
Gareth could only stare at Eddie blankly while he demonstrated the new song on his guitar. He didn’t know what the hell he was hearing. Grant was glaring at the Warlock like the soft notes had personally offended him. Jeff was nodding along sagely to the beat of the music, always an ally to Eddie even when he was confused at the situation.
And Steve Harrington, the newest addition to join band practice, was sat in a metal folding chair looking at Eddie like he hung the stars. He’d never been serenaded before and the fact that it was Eddie doing it? It only made Steve love him even more.
the thing i'm postulating about why dick liked nix so much, as if we actually need a reason beyond "he just did" or "ours isn't to reason why" is simply that nix gave dick companionship and accepted him and just like...stuck with him. the thing i think is truly at the heart of dick winters is that he was lonely but didn't know how to express it or didn't exactly always realize he was lonely. the fact that nix, a true libra, a true lush, a true cosmopolitan, looked at this much simpler pennsylvanian who didn't drink and wasn't the best at socializing and just went :) is a testament to the chemistry of the two. and i also think nix drove the friendship early on because already in 1943 lew is gifting him that (frankly nuts of him to do this) knife with their initials engraved onto it and i think maybe dick doesn't admit to feeling extremely close to him until 1944 because he's guarded? he's suspicious? he's maybe even himself confused at their pairing? but nix is always around, beyond dick's left shoulder, without dick even realizing it at first. and then after normandy he's just like. ohhh i adore you we are (boy)best friends. everything you do is endlessly charming (look not to paint over what a real pain in the ass he could be, but you cannot look me in the eye and tell me he wasn't charming), you are so dedicated to the job. nix accepted dick where he was and in turn i think it's a part of the reason dick accepts nix as an alcoholic who is extremely self-destructive at times. of course years later when all the other vets are like i have no idea why dick liked nixon so much dick couldn't be like....well he cured me of my loneliness, he was always there, he made me feel accepted, we've cultivated a decades long capital-R Romantic friendship and yes I will deliver his eulogy because masculinity. :) :) :) anyways

Pairing: Dewdrop/Copia
Featuring: Semi-public blow jobs. Possessive caretaker Dew. Dew using oral sex as a caretaking method. You know, as you do. Rough oral sex. Boot fucking (don't look so surprised). A little hair pulling as a treat. Feelings if you squint. Dew's a good boy for his Papa (and no one else).
Word Count: 2.4k
Dew wants to turn around, bare his fangs. Tell this idiot to get the fuck out. That none of this conversation—all about ticket sales and headcounts—has to happen right now. His Papa is tired. Needs to be taken care of. Dew’s thinking about ripping the man’s throat out. Eating him alive. Anything to get this to stop and get Copia’s dick in his mouth faster.
Dew wonders if the guy will get the hint if he takes Copia’s dick out and swallows it.
Dew leans back in. Tries a gentler approach. Unable to keep his mouth off of the rapidly hardening cock in front of him. Dew mouths at it. Fits it between his lips. Drags his teeth over Copia’s zipper until Copia makes a noise that makes Dew’s own cock throb in his pants.
Copia puts his hand on the back of Dew’s mask and holds him in place. Hips rocking up against Dew’s mouth like he couldn’t care less that they have an audience.
what gets me is how fall out boy is always always remembering and paying tribute to their roots. how they're always making references to past songs and videos and have been doing that for the entirety of their career. how those references never feel self inflating but instead are always injected with this air of gratefulness and reverence. for their fans and for each other and for the music that brings them all together. they've always been hyperaware of their place in the industry and so they never take any of it for granted and. it's like every night on stage is a thank you and a promise. like, it's been the four of them for twenty years. they've ended all their shows with the same song for twenty years. and it's like, never trust a band that wouldn't bleed for you. it's like, fall out boy forever and ever and ever
