you ever think about how gerome and fake pep are the only two guys who really only ever knew the tower as their home? i do
lots of fp text in this one so full un-ciphered script is going under cut below. [mostly just a bunch of headcanon nonsense about his whole Situation in the tower :p] [there is also a second bonus after because i am insufferable] anyway,
bonus:
hey! it's a series! fake peppino world tour: [noise] [noisette] [peppino] [gustavo] [gerome] <-u are here [noisette again]
gerome: i say there monstrosity! do you know the times?
fp: …?
gerome: haha! just an old joke, lad.
gerome: but seriously, i never saw you around the tower much. what's your deal?
fp: ...
fp: 👈 ??
gerome: yes you! you never struck me as just some hired goon like the rest.
fp: i… i don't really know.
gerome: oh come now, you needn't be modest.
fp: i'm not! i-
[fp takes a seat]
fp: they…. didn't tell me much. the…the lab. you know it?
gerome: i'd pass though, now and again.
fp: i was there for awhile, with lots of other copies
gerome: oh, you knew the other clones? what were they like?
fp: nutritious.
gerome: ah.
fp: they-the tall one- moved me to….「bruno's」 later.
gerome: tall one… you mean pizzahead?
fp: uh….right.「pizzahead」 …started changing it. kept changing it. i think i was waiting for something. waiting… to open? but he told me to keep-stay in there. to guard it. was there…longer than the labs but we never got to finish…. but i think we were close. But then「pep-
pep: woah. never seen him this chatty
gerome: just have to ask the right questions, i suppose
pep: I mean, sure but-- wait, you can understand him???
gerome: it's only natural, after all, he is at least in part- part of the tower; made from its power and resources, and so connected with my brother...and to some extent, myself. his speech resonates with the old echoes through its chambers, and while i may not be as omniscient, it has no secrets that would fully elude me.
pep: ...uh. ok, sure. what's he saying?
fp: ..!
fp: XXX!
gerome: ah…. seems he's a bit embarrassed.
pep: aw. er…look, it may not be my business, but whatever happened in the tower is behind us now, yeah? i know i sure try to forget it too
fp: 😬
fp: ...😓👍
[fp turns back to gerome]
fp: ............i wasn’t done
gerome: he wasn't done.
fp: yeah. then 「peppino」 came through. you probably know. hard to miss him.
gerome: heh, I'll say.
fp: We fought, I stayed…. didn't know anything else until 「pizzahead」grabbed me. fighting more on the roof...
fp: You know the rest? you ran out with us...
gerome: mhm
fp: And… now we’re here.
gerome: now we’re here…
fp: ...that's all i had. so..... i still don't really know. sorry...
gerome: ah, don't be. that's just how it goes, i guess. not much that can be done now...
gerome: i suppose we both left some things behind in that tower. i certainly know it can be daunting to leave the fold of familiarity.
gerome: but, for what it's worth...i think it’s for the better things worked out for us as they did.
fp: yeah…
bonus! 2!!

Going to turn this into a fic at some point but: Steve starts getting weird leading up to his first anniversary with Eddie. He's distant one moment, then all over Eddie even more than usual the next. It takes Eddie a little while to notice and then, when he does, and he looks at the calendar, the dots start connecting. It's been nearly a year since they got together and Steve is acting weird. That can’t be good. He asks Dustin and Robin and some of the others if they've noticed Steve being weird lately, but no one has. It's just with Eddie.
The only conclusion Eddie can come to is that Steve is having second thoughts about them and if he is then...Steve can tell him himself, damn it!
Only, Eddie doesn't want to ask because he's not sure he wants to know. But then not knowing is worse. So, he asks. But he doesn't ask Steve because he's not that brave. He talks to Robin. He tells her what's been happening and how their anniversary is coming up and it takes Robin a minute to make the connection but then she says, "You know that he and Nance broke up just before they officially got to a year," and then the dots really connect. For real this time. And Eddie feels like kind of an asshole for thinking...
He thanks Robin and he doesn't say anything to Steve but he's extra affectionate, trying to reassure Steve without saying anything as their anniversary draws closer. He’s not sure it works but Steve seems a little more at ease.
And when the clock ticks over to one minute past midnight on their anniversary, Eddie wakes Steve up. Steve is grumpy at first, and then worried that something's wrong, until Eddie says, "Happy anniversary."
Steve squints. "Huh?"
"It's officially one year since we got together." Eddie smiles softly. "We made it."
Steve smiles back and says, "You couldn't have told me in the morning?" even as he reaches for Eddie.
“Couldn’t wait,” Eddie says and kisses Steve and holds him tight.
And Eddie does the same thing every year for many many years to come.

Does anyone else ever talk to another queer person like what if we loved each other what if we knew everything about one another what if we were each other’s most important person what if i loved you more than anyone else what if our paths never cross again after this and i’m left with this incomprehensible sense of loss over a stranger
