favorite girl to see
words: 700
warnings: implied sex, cart girl!reader, soft!rafe, fluffy
“hey boys.” you grin as you greet them all, but your eye is on one boy in particular.
“there's my favorite girl to see.” rafe smiles, quickly putting his putter back in his golf bag.
you roll your eyes despite your cheeks blushing. “you just like me because i bring you drinks.”
“nope.” rafe shakes his head, walking closer to you as you stay sat in the cart, worried your knees would buckle if you tried to stand up with his full attention on you. “otherwise id say that to all the cart girls.”
“mmm, and you don't?” you raise your eyebrows.
“absolutely not.” rafe scoffs like it's a ridiculous notion.
“what'll it be for you today?” you ask rafe, standing carefully and rounding the golf cart to the drinks area, opening up the cooler, expecting to grab him a high noon or white claw like usual.
“just a water, actually.” rafe turns to look at his friend he's golfing with. you don't even glance away from rafes perfectly chiseled features. “anything for you top?”
“im good.”
“one water it is.” you dig out a bottle from the melting ice, taking a towel and drying off the sides so you don't have a wet drink to rafe.
“so kind.” he coos, reaching into his wallet.
“rafe-” you sigh, already knowing what is coming as he pulls out a hundred dollar bill.
“nope.” rafe says, stuffing the bill into your hand. “take it. a tip for my favorite girl to see.”
“the water is like five bucks, this is a ridiculous tip.” you state, always trying to argue against the way rafe tips you, knowing you'll end up conceding and taking it.
“well, if it makes you feel better about it, there is something else you can do for me.”
“hm?” you question as rafe pulls out his phone, taps a few buttons, and then hands it to you.
“put your number in.”
-- 6 months later --
you look around the golf course, having taken a later shift instead of the early one you're used to. you're getting out on the green much later than normal, trying to spot your regulars, one in particular.
you put your cart into drive the moment you see him, skipping by any other groups who may be trying to buy something. you'll loop back later to get their orders, but your sole focus is on one man.
“rafe.” you hop out your cart, giving a quick look around before jumping into his open arms, knowing while employee member relationships are technically against the rules, rafe could pull a few strings if anyone ever tattled on you.
“my girl.” rafes smile is infectious, especially as his hands drop down to squeeze your ass over your skirt, pulling your hips right up against his. “you're here late.”
“let's just say someone kept me up late last night.” you giggle, pressing a kiss to rafes lips, knowing he's the reason you had to switch shifts this morning.
rafe deepens the kiss, one hand coming to the back of your neck to keep you close as his mouth covers yours, lips and tongue gliding against each other.
“babe-” you sigh, pulling away.
“yeah, i know.” rafe steps away, knowing you only allow so much pda when you're at work.
it's one of the reasons rafe tried to convince you to quit many times, insisting you didn't need to work now that you had him, but you like picking up a few hours every week.
“what can i get you?” you ask, taking his hand in yours and tugging him towards the cart.
“another kiss.” rafe smiles. you roll your eyes and press a quick peck to his lips.
“and to drink?”
“gatorade, i guess.” rafe shrugs. “im also kinda tired from last night.”
you don't miss the wink that he gives you as you fish out his drink.
rafe grabs his wallet from his back pocket as you let out a groan, knowing what is to come, his tipping habits not changing one bit despite being together.
“what?” rafe says, handing you the large bill, knowing he'll take you shopping later to spend it. “i want to make sure you give better service to me than any of these old bastards.”
“speaking of service-” you get on your tiptoes and whisper into rafes ear. “meet me in the employee break room in 30?”

bikini bottom, danny wagner
summary : you live on the coastline of south carolina. danny comes to visit you for a week.
word count : 4.1k+
warnings : fluff, a lot of allusions to sex, language, nicknames
there might be a hidden marinara sauce recipe of mine in here as well 😏
enjoy ❤️
Danny had lived about 9 hours away from where you lived. He lived in Nashville while you lived on Edisto Beach, South Carolina.Whenever you had seen him, it was in Nashville.
Danny had made plans to come visit you at your house while he was on a break from tour. He had called you and asked if he could come visit you for a week. You missed your boyfriend, obviously you said yes.
Danny was going to be arriving at Colleton Airport at around 6:30 tonight. You changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned the bathroom, mopped, dusted, vacuumed, even cleaned out the fridge. You made room in your closet and drawers for him. You left spots on the bathroom shelves for him. You made your house homey.
You had taken a nap and woke up around 5PM. You said bye to Zoey, your Cane Corso and made your way to the airport. When you got to the airport, he had already landed and was waiting for you to arrive.
You pulled up and went inside to get him. You saw him sitting down and you went over to him and said, “Hi Danny,” and sat on his lap.
“Hi bumblebee, missed you” he said and hugged you as best he could.
“Sorry I'm late, I took a nap and I got caught in traffic.” you said to him.
“That's alright, just glad I get to see my best girl, want me to get you a coffee for the road?” he asked you. You said, “I can get my own coffee, D. I'll get you one, I was late.” You walked over to the Dunkin inside the airport and ordered. You grabbed your card and went to pay, but his card was already in the card terminal. You hit him on the chest and handed him a 20. He refused and told you to keep the money.
You got your coffee and went back to your car. He was surprised at the fact that you drove an SUV. “I wouldn't of taken you for a Bronco girl, but I dig it.” he said, as he put his bags into your trunk. You got in the driver's seat and he sat back and relaxed. Mac DeMarco’s “Ode to Viceroy'' was playing on your stereo. South Carolinian sunsets were the best, so you rolled down all the windows and opened the sunroof.
He took a video of the sunset as you drove and panned the camera over towards you. You smiled into the camera and scrunched your nose. You were stopped at a red light as you looked over to him and asked, “Are you hungry, McConkeys is still open.”
He nodded but asked if he could drop everything off first. You said yes and told him to get ready. He asked, “What do I need to get ready for?”
“Zoey.” you said.
“Who’s Zoey?” he questioned
“My Cane Corso. She's a little lover. She won't leave you alone.” you told him.
He laughed and said he wouldn't mind. You drove to your home and told him, “There's a golf course in my complex, you can rent clubs.”
He looked over at you in awe, grabbing your hand and kissing it. You pulled up to your condo and turned the car off. You opened the trunk and helped him grab his stuff.
“I'm going to change into a bathing suit with some shorts. I wanna show you the beach. I have towels in my car.” you informed him. You two walked up the stairs and heard Zoey barking. You opened the door and told him, “This is Zoey. She can either be your best friend, or your worst enemy.” He laughed and pet her head. He went into the guest bedroom and said, “I'm assuming this is where I'm staying?”
You chuckled and grabbed his shirt, “Nuh uh, you're staying with me.” He giggled and followed you to your room.
You took his suitcase and put it on the bed for him. You went into your closet and grabbed your bathing suit. You closed the closet door and let him get changed in the bedroom. You changed and put your shorts on. You asked if he was done, and he said yes. You walked out of the closet and he looked at you with stars in his eyes.
“You look great,” he said. “It's just a bathing suit and shorts, I've looked better.” you told him and laughed.
“Not to me,” he said and kissed you. You were in a SKIMS cut out monokini and jean shorts. He had on yellow trunks and you grabbed his hand and went to McConkeys.
“So, what’s McConkeys?” he asked you.
“It's called McConkey's Jungle Shack. It's a tropical themed restaurant, it's very tiny, so we might have to sit outside. They have seafood, burgers, hotdogs, I'm sure you'll find something to eat.” you told him
You drove there and the parking lot was mostly empty. You two grabbed an outdoor table and were served.
“Can I get a Yuengling with shrimp and chips, please?” Danny said to your waitress, who was eyeing him way too much for your liking. She looked over at you and you said, “I'll take a sweet tea with chicken tenders, teriyaki, with ranch, thank you.” and grabbed Danny's hand.
She looked at your hands together, sighed, and walked away. You got your food shortly and you two ate together, enjoying the sunset.
The check was brought to you and you quickly grabbed it out of his reach. You put a 50 down and told her to keep the change.
The beach was walking distance away from the shack, so you grabbed his hand and led him to the sand. You could hear the waves crashing against the shore.
You took your shoes off and held them in your hand. You let go of his hand and ran towards the edge of the water. He followed you to the edge and wrapped his arms around your neck from behind, embracing you.
“I know I just got here, but I don't want to leave.” he whispered to you.
You checked your phone and it was 8:30PM, the beach was closing in 30 minutes. “We should get back to the car, it closes in 30 minutes.” you told him.
He sighed and let go of you. You two turned around and made your way back to the car.
When you two arrived back at your home, you couldn't even make it to the door before his hands were roaming your body. You tried unlocking the door as best you could with his eager hands all over you.
You shut and locked the front door before being carried away to your bedroom.
“God, I missed you.” he said as you got off of him. You two laid together, in silence. You asked him what he wanted to do within the week he was gonna be there. He said tomorrow, he would go play golf.
You woke up the next morning and turned to his side, no Danny. You got up and put clothes on and went out to the living room. You saw a piece of paper sitting on the counter when you went to the kitchen.
Went to go play golf, don't miss me too much. - D
You smiled and grabbed your phone, asking him if he wanted lunch when he came home. You went to the grocery store and got some sandwich stuff to make for lunch. You came home and heard the shower running. You set everything out to make him a sandwich.
When he came out to the living room you asked him what he wanted on his sandwich. “I got turkey, ham, chicken, salami, american cheese, and cheddar. I also got a tomato, lettuce and some olives.” you asked him.’
“Ew, you like olives?” he asked you.
“I fucking love olives, green, black, spanish, I am an avid olive lover.” you told him.
“Olives are gross, but I'll let you enjoy your olives.” he informed you.
You laughed and he told you, “I can make my own sandwich, love.” You shook your head and said, “No, you're my guest, I'm making it for you. Tell me what you want on it.”
He got up from the kitchen table and came up behind you. He turned you around to face him and wrapped his arms around your waist. “As of right now, all I want is you.” he said and lifted you up onto the counter. He placed one of his hands on the side of your neck and placed his other on your thigh. He kissed your neck until the butterknife on the counter slid onto the floor.
He pulled away and laughed. “I don't want to stop,” he said and put his mouth back on your collarbone. You reluctantly pushed him away, “What do you want on your sandwich, D?”
“Can you put turkey with cheese, mayo, and some tomato on it for me?” He asked you. You nodded and told him to sit down. You got him a six pack of Yuengling and poured one out for him. You made his sandwich and served it to him with some cheetos.
He said thank you as you sat down next to him. “What do you want for dinner? I can go back out to the store if you want to rest.” You asked him. Zoey came over to you and you picked her up as he spoke. “You're Italian, make marinara.” he said. “I do have my Mom’s recipe. What kind of macaroni do you like? I have stuff to make meatballs too.” you told him. He perked up and said, “I like Rigatoni. Can I help you?”
You nodded, grabbed your extra large saucepot and told him to finish eating. You grabbed all of your tomato products along with an onion, garlic, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, fresh parsley, fresh sage, a few bay leaves and most importantly, fresh basil. You got the ground beef and pork out of the fridge to make meatballs. You got the bread crumbs, sugar, half and half, italian seasoning, and an egg.
You told him how to make the meatballs and left him to do so. You added a little oil to the pot and added your whole, peeled onion and your entire head of garlic, smashed. Once those had some nice color, you added in your San Marzano whole tomatoes and squished them, along with a can of tomato puree and a can of tomato paste. You added the fresh herbs and the sugar into your sauce.
You helped Danny cook the meatballs and once they were done, you added them to the pot. You cleaned the dishes you dirtied and sat on the couch with Danny and Zoey. “What do you want to do?” you asked him. “I have puzzles, board games?” you told him.
“I can think of a few things.” he said and pulled you on top of him.
When you woke up, you heard the shower running. You got out of your comfy bed and put a shirt and shorts on. You went to stir the sauce, not wanting it to stick. You checked the time and started boiling water.
You added the macaroni and waited on the couch for Danny. He came out with his hair wet and asked if you could help him with something. You nodded, got up and followed him to the bathroom. He asked if you could put his hair product in for him.
You helped him do his hair and he grabbed onto your waist and rested his head on your chest. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders and he pulled away to pick you up. You wrapped your legs around his waist and he carried you out to the kitchen.
You two shared kisses as the macaroni was cooking. “I don't ever want to leave.” he said as he pulled away from you. “Then don't, you can stay here with me.” you told him and smiled. “I wish it was that easy, love.” he said as you pulled him back into your arms. You heard Zoey barking outside the window, at another dog who walked by. “Zoey Elizabeth, stop. That dog is not doing anything to you.” you told her. She stopped and walked over to you and jumped up onto Danny's leg. “Do you want me to take her out?” he asked you. You said, “If you want to. Her leash is over there.” You pointed to her leash and he walked over to the front door. “Come on, Zoey girl.” he said to her as she walked down the hallway to go outside.
You smiled at the sweet gesture and heard the timer go off for the macaroni. You strained the water and put the macaroni back into the pot. You brought it over to the stove and added some sauce and meatballs to it. You grabbed the romano and ricotta cheese and brought it over to your table. He came back in and hung the leash up. “Can I give her a treat?” he asked you. You nodded and got him a treat.
He gave it to Zoey and she walked away with it. You told him to sit at the table as you got him a drink. “Are you gonna let me do anything?” He asked you. You shook your head no and said, “Nope, you're my guest.” He sighed and let you serve him. You put his drink on the table in front of him and he rubbed your lower back and rubbed your ass. “Hello Waitress.” he said to you. You laughed and sat down in front of him.
You two finished up dinner and you grabbed ingredients to make a cake. You had asked Josie what his favorite cake was and she said, “Funfetti, white icing.”
You told him to go sit on the couch and to never come into the kitchen. You made his cake and frosted it for him. You told him to close his eyes as you walked him into the kitchen so he could see what you made for him.
“Open!”
“Baby, is that a cake? Do you ever get tired of being in this kitchen?”
“No, come on, slice it.”
“Should I make a wish?”
“Cut the fucking thing already, Danny.”
He cut into the cake and you grabbed two plates for you two. You sat down at the kitchen table together, savoring the time you two had.
Once you both finished, you cleaned up your mess and told him to sit on the couch. He picked Zoey up on the couch with him. You looked at him from the kitchen and asked, “Do you want to play a game or anything? I have Monopoly, Clue, Cards Against Humanity, you can look in the tv cabinet, they're all under there.”
He stood up and went over to the cabinet. He grabbed a puzzle and said, “How about a puzzle?” You nodded and got yourself some water. He opened the box and laid out all the pieces on the table.
About 50 pieces in, he swiped the puzzle off the table and said, “Screw the puzzle,” and picked you up.
You woke up at around 8AM and saw Danny asleep next to you. He had his back turned to you, so you moved his hair off his bare back and gave him a light kiss. He stirred awake and turned to you. He pulled you closer to him by your waist and said, “Did I hurt you last night?” You shook your head no and kissed him. He pulled you on top of him and played with the hem of your shorts.
“We should probably get ready,” he said in your ear. You chose a black hoodie and black leggings.
You and Danny were driving up to Charleston to go to the Aquarium. They opened up at 9 AM, but it would probably take about an hour to drive there. You two got dressed and headed for Charleston.
You stopped at a local breakfast restaurant and ate there. Before you left, Danny offered to drive. You let him drive the rest of the way and sat in the passenger seat, quiet. He asked if you were alright and you said, “Fine, I'm just tired.” He put his hand on your thigh and listened to the music you were playing.
When you got there, you found a place to park and got out of the car. You pulled the tickets up on your phone and showed admissions. They let you in and Danny said, “I'll be paying you back for those tickets.”
You laughed and said, “The fuck you are,” and continued walking in front of him. Sadly, they had the river otter enclosure closed due to renovations, so you couldn't see them. The two of you walked around the aquarium together, saddened that he had to leave the next day.
Around 1, you heard Danny’s stomach rumbling next to you. “Hungry?” you asked him. He nodded and you led the both of you to the cafe that was in the aquarium.
You had gone to the bathroom while Danny ordered your food. When you came back out, you saw a few girls looking at him. When you walked back out, they paid no attention to the fact that you were there with him.
When you had finished eating, the same group of girls looked you up and down and scoffed. As you were leaving the cafe, you reached your hand around and grabbed Danny’s ass. “What was that for?!” he exclaimed. “Group of girls were staring at you, and had to show them you were taken,” you explained to him. “I love it when you're jealous.” he said and grabbed your chin as you walked out.
When you and Danny got home, you played Monopoly and took a nap. When you woke up, Danny was still asleep beside you. You decided not to wake him up and went to make dinner.
You left him a note and went to the store down the street. You grabbed everything to make your beef and broccoli. You got home and started cooking everything. You left the bedroom door open and let Zoey up on the bed to lay with Danny. You could tell Zoey liked him, she cuddled next to him as he slept.
You sat down next to him on the bed and moved his bangs out of his face. “Danny? Honey, it's dinner time.” you quietly to him.
He stirred awake and put his hand on your arm. “Why didn't you wake me, I would’ve helped you.”
You shook your head and said, “You need sleep, Danny” He rubbed your arm and sat up. “I have something I need to take care of, in the bathroom. That low cut shirt is doing something to me.” he said. You laughed, got up, and tended to dinner. You could hear him moaning in the bathroom. You also saw Zoey, head lifted up, ears perked up at the sound of him.
Once dinner was done, you made him a plate and called for him. “Danny! Once you're done thinking about me in the bathroom, dinner’s ready!” You heard him yell out a thank you as you sat down with the drinks in your hands. He walked out of your room, fully dressed. He sat down and thanked you for dinner.
Usually, Zoey ate the same time you did. You made her dinner and fed it to her out of her slow feeder. She drank water and went to sit on the couch.
You finished up dinner and he offered to clean the dinner dishes. “You have done more than enough while I've been here, sit.” he said, firmly. “Okay, I'll go take a shower.” you said to him. “No! Not without me. Sit on the couch.”
You did exactly what he said and sat on the couch, waiting for him. “We never finished our puzzle last night, Mister.” you said to him.
He finished the dishes and walked over to where you were. He stuck his hand out and said, “Come on, now we can shower.”
You grabbed his hand and he pulled you off the couch. He picked you up and you wrapped your legs around his waist. You laughed as he ran to the bathroom.
He put you on the bathroom counter and took your shirt off for you. “I like that bra. Send me pictures of you wearing it next time.” he said to you. He unclipped your bra and pulled you off the counter to pull your leggings down. He got onto his knees and kissed down your body. Once he got to the waistband, he put his hands on your hips and looked up at you as he kissed your stomach. Luckily, you had your phone right next to you on the counter. You pulled up the camera and quickly snapped a picture of him, brown eyes looking at you from below, hands on your hips. You grabbed one of his hands and pulled him up so he could stand on his feet. You ripped his shirt off and viciously made out with him. He leaned forward and put his hand on the mirror behind you as you two made out.
You put your legs around his waist as he lifted you up off the counter and bent down to turn the shower on. He stepped into the shower, you still around him. You kissed his neck as he said, “We both need to shower, come on. I know you don't want to but we have to.” You reluctantly got off of him and continued with your shower.
Danny had gotten out first as you continued with your shower. You got out and got dressed. You heard Danny in the living room on his phone.
“How do I tell her that I'm going on a six month world tour and won't be able to see her for that long? Sam, she's gonna be heartbroken. We see each other at least once every month.” Danny said. You had been introduced to his bandmates a long time ago, so you knew who he was talking to.
“I'm not going to be an asshole and not tell her, Sam! That would kill me and her! I need to tell her, I just don't know how. Should I do it at the airport tomorrow when she drops me off? Should I do it tonight before bed?” he asked Sam.
“I'll do it tonight. Do you think she'll be mad at me? I hope she doesn't get mad at me. I just love her so much. I don't want to hurt her.” he said. You came out of your room and said, “Danny, it would've never hurt me. You have a job. A reputation. It wouldn't of made me mad in the slightest.”
He whipped his head towards you and said, “How much did you hear?”
“All of it.” you told him.
“I didn't want to keep it from you, you're a part of my life too. Jita and Dana want to make a Greta girlfriends group chat, and they want you in it, I sent Jita your number. They said they will share tour dates. We are going to Greenville next month, I know you're from there. We can get you a pass, so you can come to the show.” he said to you.
You sat right next to him on the couch and said, “I'd want nothing more than that.” He grabbed your face and kissed you. “Let's go to bed, yeah?” he asked you. You nodded and got up and walked towards your room. “Your ass looks great in those pants, babe.” he said, behind you.
He laid down in the bed and you crawled on top of him, your favorite place to sleep. “What time is your flight tomorrow?” you asked him. “9.” he said. You started crying and he kissed your forehead. “Don't cry, bumblebee. I'm gonna come back soon. I promise. We can facetime every night.” he said and rubbed your back. You looked at him and he pulled you up closer to his face. You wrapped your arms around his neck and kissed him.
When you woke up, you saw Danny packing all of his stuff up. “Hi,” you said to him, very unenthusiastic. He turned around and walked over to your side of the bed. “I know, I don't want to leave either,” he said and hugged you.
He pulled away and continued packing. You left the house around 6:30, so he wouldn't be late. You two ate breakfast at the same dunkin you went to when he first got there. You finished your breakfast sandwiches and sat with him near the terminal.
He turned to you and whispered in your ear, “Quickie in the bathroom?”

Who: Knightley, Mo Reyes, Kirby Where: Eagan and Mo's house Summary: When you're so desperate for relationship advice you go to Knightley and Kirby. Also Kirby gets first aid on their foot. Neat.
TW: foot injury
Knightley helped Kirby onto the couch, while Mo put a towel on the coffee table. Bringing Kirby's foot up he set it down on the towel once they'd pushed the table closer. "Alright so our lovely patient here has agreed to volunteer for you to get more training," Knightley began, "We're just doing some cleanup today, and making sure there's no signs of infection. Also working on your bedside manner." Glancing at Kirby he raised a brow, "How's the pain been? That tea Zarina gave you helping to keep it manageable?" As much as he liked Mo he wasn't about to bring attention to what kind of medications they had at the Commune.
Moving in with Eagan had helped Mo out in multiple ways. He got to see his favorite person and he had a more private setting to work with Knightley. The nursing home had him busy all the time and the Commune had them both waiting on approval for him to be allowed in. As he watched Knightley unwrap Kirby's foot he winced, "Shit man it really did go straight through." At the look Knightley shot at him, he cleared his throat, "I mean, it looks red and bruised, but I don't see any infection. So you're healing good?" The last part is more of a question as he glances at Knightley to get a nod of confirmation.
Knightley asked Kirby to do this and of course they agreed, with the agreement being to help them get the hell over there so they didn't have to walk the entire way. that would've been annoying and kind of painful. they chuckled at Mo and the wince, "pain's been fine. long as i'm not on it for a long time then the tea keeps the pain down to a minimum." they said putting their hands behind their head. "and yes, yes it did. can't tell you how weird it felt feeling it go in then immediately go out."
Knightley had to resist the urge to sigh when Mo cursed, he knew he had decent care for the residents, but he had a habit of letting his thoughts slip through on occasion. Setting the first aid kit next to their foot, he pulled out a pair of gloves for himself and Mo, sliding his own on as they did. "We don't always have things to help with pain, keeping people talking is a good distraction," Knightley explained as motioned for Mo to take Kirby's foot so he could guide him through cleaning it. "You tell Teddy yet, or you actually go with the stubbing your toe lie?" he asked, giving them a curious look.
Mo took the gloves pulling them on as he carefully picked up Kirby's foot following Knightley's instructions and taking note of the damage as well as how to treat it. His eyes glanced up at Kirby giving a low whistle, "Yea bet it felt weird, worse thing I've gotten hit with a golf club by my nephew when he was like 6. Was trying to take it from him and he knocked a tooth out." At the mention of Teddy he gets back to work before asking, "You and Teddy are dating right? Or is he like trying to date the cop?"
Kirby was watching the both of them, it was a little weird if they had to admit but it was a feeling they’d get over quickly the more they talked and got comfortable with Mo around. “oh yeah i told him, there was no way i was getting away with lying when my foot looks like that.” they said, gesturing to it. “this isn’t even the worst i’ve had, i used to work at a bar for five years so you can imagine some of the shit that went down there.” At the mention of Teddy trying to date the cop, Kirby chuckled and shook their head some. “Yeah him and i are dating, we have an open relationship though so he knows I don't care if he flirts with other people and he doesn’t care if i do it too.”
Knightley chuckled, "Please tell me you didn't actually show him your foot, isn't he squeamish with blood?" He vaguely recalls either Kirby or Teddy mentioning it to him at some point. While he'd been fairly satisfied with the patch up job he'd done, it still wasn't great to look at while it healed. Some injuries tended to look worse before they finally started looking better again. He's keeping an eye on Mo while also watching Kirby for any signs that the pain has worsened, as much as he can stay neutral it is harder to treat friends he's learned.
Mo was going slower than he liked but he wanted to make sure he did a good job, he didn't want to be the reason Kirby's foot fell off or something. "You work at the post office right? Bar life not for you anymore then?" It's hard to imagine what a bar outside Huntsville was like, he'd been stuck here before he'd been legally old enough to drink. "Never been anywhere but here, use to the daytime drinking," he admitted shrugging. At their explanation he nods in understanding, "Oh ok, so like same shit Knightley and Z got going on," he says, feeling their cheek heat up slightly when he recalls how he'd found out about their situation. "Honestly being open sounds pretty good, mean sex is cool, but I uh…only one person dating feels like it makes sense for me." Ok he needs to shut up, he's being way too personal, "Teddy helped my sister with her kid a couple times, good guy. Y'all known each other long?"
“oh god no, i did offer just to tease him and i swear he went ghostly white at just the thought of seeing it.” the talking was enough of a distraction for Kirby that they couldn’t even really tell that Mo was working on their foot. other than a tiny wince that happened every so often and could only really tell if you were looking at their face. Kirby nodded, “I do but i guess i chose this cause it felt like easy rations.” Kirby admitted then smiled. “yeah actually, a lot like them. Knightley telling me about him and z was actually the reason I brought it up to teddy. I just felt more comfortable with it like this and he was willing to give it a shot, it’s been working so far i think.” they shrugged. it was working out for them this way and Kirby was grateful for that. “since i got here basically so around three years almost. I have no interest in dating anyone else if I'm honest. I just like having the opportunity to have sex whenever since we don’t live together.”
"I should teach you what to check for in case of concussions," Knightley deadpanned, but there was a grin threatening to form on his face. He was trying to keep his composure but he could clearly picture Kirby antagonizing Teddy with his foot. The mental image managed to get a chuckle out of him. "Honestly you keep that up and he will hit his head on something when he faints," he quipped. Glancing at Mo as he worked he raised a brow at his questions, his eyes drifting around the house they were at. While them moving in together wasn't strange, they also hadn't mentioned any other changes which did have him curious.
Mo hummed in thought as he started rewrapping Kirby's foot. He vaguely knows the details with Knightley and Z, coworkers to relationship from what they understand. Kirby's situation seemed closer to his own, "So friends to dating then? The good old romcoms tropes?" He jokes trying to keep it under wraps how much he wants to ask more questions. They also seemed to have been right, or Kirby had a high pain tolerance, either way talking had made the patch up job easier. "Y'all planning on living together eventually? That one dude who fought with Teddy left right?" Maybe he should have told Eagan before moving in together, he thought to himself.
“oh please i tease him but he knows i won’t actually show him no matter how much he asks and if i ever do his ass will be firmly planted on the couch anyway.” Kirby laughed knowing there was no way they could help teddy to his feet in the case he did actually faint so any teasing was done while they were sitting down. “yeah something like that, he was my best friend before we started dating. well, one of them and he still is so.” they shrugged and rolled their eyes at the mention of Toni even though it wasn’t by name it was obvious who Mo was asking about. “his ass left yeah, good riddance in my opinion.” Kirby crossed their arms over their chest and slouched down a bit, biting the inside of their cheek irritated again about how all that went down. “but i don’t know, maybe. I like living at the commune but i also like having the privacy with him over at his place. I'd say later down the road when we’re together for longer I might change my mind on him moving in or me moving out but I like how things are right now.”
"Smart, if he passed out forward probably full on crush you," Knightley quipped. He adjusted the bandages around Kirby's foot, showing Mo how to properly tighten it without causing too much discomfort. At the mention of Toni he let Mo finish up, glancing at Kirby. After the faire his personal opinion of Toni wasn't high, preferring to limit his contact with the man to work only. His brow furrowed at the look on Kirby's face, "He did actually leave you alone like he said he was going to, right?" He asked, wondering if he'd missed something.
Mo glanced between the two as he started repacking up the first aid kit. Taking his gloves off he plopped down on the other end of the couch. He knew Toni and Teddy got into a fight or something, "Toni was trash talking you at the faire right?" He shook his head, the both guys were friends with Celia, he was hoping they were at least civil when around her. "He's friends with my sister, but he hasn't been around much. Figured it was cause Commune kept him busy or whatever."
“nope.” Kirby said quickly. “he tried to apologize but shit was said long story short i told him to shove the apology up his ass. i don’t really want to get into everything he said.” especially because they knew they weren’t innocent in it either and said stuff they shouldn’t, they were more anxious than anything at others starting to think they were a bad person because of it all. “he was yeah, some petty shit he had with teddy I'm pretty sure about your sister i guess. i don’t remember all of it but it was once again Toni trying to act like some big fucking macho man from what i gathered and do remember.”
Knightley stared, feeling his jaw clench, "Well least he said it to your face this time, I'll give him that," he grumbled. Getting off the floor he opted for the arm chair near the couch. "Glad things with Teddy are going well at least, bit of a rough start there for a minute," he said grimacing at how that day at the Ren faire had gone.
Mo felt like he'd stepped into something, but wasn't completely sure whether it was interesting or just awkward. His brow furrowed at the mention of Celia being one of the reasons, "She's got enough shit on her plate, least they've kept her out of it." As long as they both kept it that way he wouldn't have to get involved. "So is it weird now for you guys? Going from just friends to dating?" Figures they should fully change the topic. Reaching into his jacket pocket he pulls out a tin case. "Don't have tea for pain, but got weed. Or could see what we got at the bar if you rather that," Mo offered figuring he owed Kirby for letting him be their practice patient.
“said it to my face where everyone else at the commune could hear if they wanted to.” Kirby mumbled mostly to themselves and ran a hand through their hair before sitting up again. they only nodded at the mention of keeping Celia out of it, as far as they knew it was going to stay that way anyway. “not really, we act the same as we did when we were just friends now we’ve just got a label on it instead.” Kirby shrugged and looked at their foot then back at mo. “honestly pains manageable right now but I'm not gonna say no to free weed.” they said with a grin.
"Should have left his nose stay broken," Knightley grumbled to himself. He was good at keeping his emotions under control, but Toni had managed to annoy him enough with his interactions with Kirby. Glancing at Mo he raised a brow at how interested they were in Kirby and Teddy's relationship. "So how's living with Eagan? Didn't even tell me you were planning on that."
Mo took out his lighter after popping open the tin. Alcohol was still his main choice, but hanging with Val had him stocking up. Taking a slow drag, he leaned over to hand the joint and lighter to Kirby. He held the smoke before blowing it out, "What label do you have?" Glancing at Knightley he felt his cheeks flush as they shrugged, "It's fine and it just kind of happened. I was bitching about them stealing the sheets and then she's asking me if I want my own room here. So I have one now."
Kirby took the lighter and joint from Mo to take their own hit now, taking a long and what they felt like a much needed drag from it. they handed it back over to him and slouched back on the couch again, stretching a bit as they exhaled the smoke and shrugged. “boyfriends, i told him i don’t care if he refers to me as his boyfriend or partner but that’s essentially it. he’s my boyfriend and I'm his.” they hadn’t talked a whole lot about their relationship with anyone yet so it was taking some getting used to. “so you bitched about some sheets and now you live here huh? iiiiinteresting.” Kirby teased with a grin and glanced at Knightley.
When Mo held the joint and lighter to him, Knightley shook his head receiving a shrug back as the younger man took another hit. One of them should probably stay sober he mused, before glancing at Kirby, feeling a genuine smile on his face at how happy they seemed with Teddy. There was a small part of him that still felt guilty for how things had played out, but seeing them doing well was making it fade over time. Catching the look, his smile slid into a smirk as he glanced at Mo, "And here I thought you falling asleep on them at the faire was a one time thing," he quipped, "Complaining about sheet stealing, the two of you sound so domestic."
Mo had been in the middle of inhaling when he saw the grin on Kirby's face, pulling it away from his mouth he coughed awkwardly, hitting his chest with his first. Practically shoving the joint and lighter back at Kirby, "And here I was actually starting to like you," he grumbled feeling his face heat up even more. Glancing at Knightley they glared at him, "Shut the fuck up, we're not domestic. We're…" trailing off they shrugged mildly frustrated, "Fuck if I know, but it ain't domestic, you're domestic. Both of you are, with your romcom ass relationships."
Kirby grabbed the joint with a laugh and shrugged a bit, taking another big puff from it themselves. “don’t lie, you still like me. who else is gonna give you experience on bandaging someone up?” they looked over at Knightley as if to confirm that this does in fact happen a lot. “hey at least we can admit that we’re domestic. that why you kept asking me all those questions? cause you wanna be domestic with them hmmm?”
Knightley gave a serious nod, "Exactly Kirby is the perfect patient," he said before the grin broke through as he chuckled. Glancing at Kirby he shook his head, "We're going to give Teddy a heart attack." Turning back to Mo he raised a brow at the romcom comment, part of him wanted to argue but then again after the faire incident it had felt like some dramatic romance novel.
Mo was glaring at his lap, his cheeks felt like they were on fire as he shot Kirby another look. "If you weren't my patient and my guest I'd tackle you off this couch," he grumbled though there wasn't any heat behind his words. Squirming on his end of the couch he pressed his hands against his eyes, "Man I don't fucking know, they've been my best friend for like 8 years. They don't do relationships at least I don't think she does. And all my shits just been casual for like ever now, so how the fuck do I even bring it up."
"thank you." Kirby grinned back at Knightley and shook their head. "probably but he knows i don't get hurt on purpose, he signed up to be with my accident prone ass it's fine." they chuckled and was going to hand the joint back to Mo but was trying not to laugh at how red his face had gotten. "damn, you could cook an egg off your cheeks right now. oh you are so down bad for this person huh?" they laughed finally and threw a pillow towards him. "do it you won't, I still got three more working limbs." though they both knew if Mo even tried, Knightley would only have to shoot either of them a look and they'd stop. "I can tell you what not to do, aka, don't try and use your best friend to make her jealous cause it will back fire in your face. probably."
"He did sign up for that, well least you're still under warranty for me to patch you up," Knightley quipped, "Or could go with our local tomato over here." He probably should cut the younger man some slack, but he was also having too much watching him get increasingly flustered over all this. At the mention of what not to do, he held back a groan leaning his head back against the chair. While he'd been thinking about those events he'd been avoiding voicing them. "Agreed, do not do that. It will end awkwardly for all involved. As well as cause anxiety all around." Did he and Zarina decide to go public partly based on those events? Yes. Would he have rather had them come to that conclusion from literally anything else? Also yes.
Mo grunted when the pillow hit the side of his head, grabbing it he'd been tempted to say fuck it to proper bedside manner and whack Kirby anyway when he actually listened to what the two were saying. Glancing between them he set the pillow in his lap as his brow furrowed, "Wait aren't you two best friends or whatever?" Turning to look at Kirby he stared before a smirk formed on his face, "Dude did you seriously try and use Knightley to make him jealous? The romcom thing was suppose to be a joke, but holy shit." Glancing between them again he laughed and shook his head, "Using a doctor to make the small town guy jealous, damn dude that really is right out of a shitty romance novel."
“if i went with the local tomato then you’d be the one upset, don’t lie. i made that promise for a reason remember?” Kirby raised their eyebrow at Knightley only to start laughing again and shook their head. Mo's jokes mixed with Knightley's comment made their own cheeks go red but this time more from embarrassment of the entire situation, it wasn’t their proudest moment of ideas. they slumped into the couch more and crossed their arms again, pouting slightly. “shut up. it worked didn’t it?” not in the way any of them were hoping. “plus I said don’t do that, as in it backfired on me massively because I love teddy but he ended up thinking i was dating Knightley and not interested in him when it was the other way around and it was just one big awkward mess when we could’ve just talked and been honest with each other instead.” then again Kirby was the last person to willingly talk about their feelings with anyone.
"He's practically my protégé now, it be like going to the smaller version of me," Knightley quipped, "Though he's still on probation so I'm overseeing." If he was honest he'd still prefer to treat Kirby himself, but it was practical to know someone else could do it if needed. It was his turn for his face to flush, running a hand through his hair, having to explain things to Teddy had been an odd experience but least he had taken the hint. "You know talking about how it worked out might be sending mix signals, even if you two are in love now," he said giving them an amused smile.
Mo reached over to snatch the joint and lighter back, "I'm not that much shorter than you asshole," he grumbled. Taking a slow drag he managed one wobbly smoke circle. "So don't make them jealous, but if I did it could work out," they said shaking their head, "He's right I'm getting mixed signals." Grinning at Kirby they tossed the pillow back at them, "What are you pouting about, you're in loooove," he said stretching the word out obnoxiously, "Who knew you were such a marshmallow?"
Kirby hadn’t realized what they said and used the pillow to hide their face instead. “shut uuuuuuup,” they groaned out but it was muffled. they looked up now only to give Knightley a glare before moving it to Mo, deciding to throw the pillow back at him since he was the closest. except this time they aimed for his head and got up from the couch. “you know what? screw you guys I'm going back to the commune.” Kirby became to hobble their way towards the door since they still couldn’t put pressure on that foot yet and resorted to hopping.
Knightley felt a grin form, chuckling to himself as he watched the two go back and forth at each other. Getting up when Kirby did, it barely took a few steps to scoop them up in his arms. Opting instead to set them in the arm chair before taking their spot on the couch. "If you really wanna head back we can, but the hopping is just gonna ruin all the clean up we did," he still had an amused grin on his face as he looked at them. Glancing at Mo he raised a brow, "As funny as this is, Kirby isn't wrong about communicating. Eagan isn't unreasonable, unhinged maybe but you've been friends this long."
Mo grunted when the pillow hit him in the face, having been in the middle of another drag. Coughing he cleared his throat as he laughed, "Dude was that a South Park reference?" At Knightley's comment, he fiddled with the joint setting it back into the tin, stuffing both items in his pocket. "Yea we've been friends a while, which is why I don't wanna fuck things up. I just started living here, don't wanna make it weird, you know?"
“why must you be so fucking tall, this is unfair.” Kirby complained as Knightley scooped them and moved them to the chair instead. “I'm calling height disadvantage, if you were closer to my height I would’ve made it so much farther.” still they decided to get comfortable in the chair, sitting sideways on it and throwing their feet over the side to look at the both of them. “what? I've never actually seen south park before so I'm gonna go with no.” Kirby chuckled. they didn’t know Eagan or at least we’ll enough to have a judgement on how they were as a person but he figured if Knightley got along with her then they were probably cool. “you two sleep in the same bed sometimes despite you having your own room yeah? dude i doubt you’d be able to make it weird while that’s happening and worst case if it does get weird you can always just move out again.”
"Genetics, maybe I just stretched growing up a lot more than you or drank enough milk," Knightley deadpanned. Cocking his head to the side, he shrugged, a grin slipping back on his face, "Maybe you would have won at archery if I was closer to your height."
Mo felt his face flush at the reminder of how his nights went now. "I mean Yea I guess, we switch between rooms. Or I'll still crash at my sister's." Considering his social circle was less than a handful of people, talking about feelings was new and he's wasn't sure how he liked it. He flinched at the moving out comment which probably should have been a sign. "Feelings suck dude, I'm signing up to be a duck. Just toss myself into a pond."
“well whoever the fuck my parents are must’ve drew the short end of the stick, literally, cause if i was taller i’d be unstoppable.” Kirby glared at Knightley once again, remembering how they’d lost at archery by a single stupid point. “smothering you with a pillow is looking real good right now.” then they flipped him the bird before looking back at mo. “why would you wanna be the game warden?” Kirby teased knowing that they might be the only one who actually got that joke. “but yeah, they do suck. you just gotta deal with them sometimes or you can bottle them up for the rest of your life until you eventually explode. your choice.” they said casually with a grin.
Knightley chuckled, "Well least you can reach my face when I'm sitting." He raised a brow at Kirby's joke and shook his head, "That was terrible even for you." Cocking his head to the side he glanced between the two, "Huh, that was genuine advice, I'm impressed," turning back to Mo he shrugged, "They're not wrong it's your call. But considering how miserable you look might want to do something about it."
Mo was snickering watching the two, enjoying them bickering instead of talking. Least until Kirby's focus was back on him. Leaning his head back it was their turn to shrug. "Yea I'll think about it," he grumbled, "I'm getting way less sober, I'm making popcorn and putting a movie so y'all quit nagging me."

What is the rating of AMVETS?
AMVETS, or American Veterans, is a well-respected nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of veterans across the United States. Ratings for such organizations often come from independent evaluators who assess their financial health and impact. AMVETS has consistently received positive reviews for its commitment to transparency and effective use of funds.
One notable rating source is Charity Navigator, which evaluates nonprofits on various criteria including accountability and integrity. AMVETS typically scores high in these areas, reflecting its dedication to both ethical practices and service delivery. This level of scrutiny ensures that donors can trust their contributions are making a real difference.
Additionally, organizations like Guidestar offer insights into AMVETS’ operations by providing information about its missions and finances. Many donors look for these ratings before giving because they want reassurance that their support will lead to tangible benefits for veterans.
The overall reputation of AMVETS as a reliable charity contributes significantly to its ability to attract donations. When potential donors see these favorable ratings, they feel more inclined to contribute resources towards supporting veterans' programs and initiatives.
AMVETS Pickup Schedule
AMVETS makes donating easy with its convenient pickup schedule. Donors can arrange for a pickup right from their homes, saving time and effort. This service is especially beneficial for individuals who may not have the means to transport items themselves.
To schedule a pickup, donors can visit the AMVETS website or call their local chapter. The process is straightforward; you’ll provide your address and details about the items you wish to donate. After that, AMVETS will confirm a date and time for collection.
The pickups typically occur during weekdays, but some locations may offer weekend options as well. It’s important to check availability in your area since schedules might vary across different states or regions.
When preparing for pickup, ensure your donations are packed securely and accessible on the day of collection. By following these simple steps, you can support veterans while making it easy for yourself to give back through AMVET donations.
Tax Benefits for Donors
Making amvet donations can be both a generous act and a smart financial decision. Donating to AMVETS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving veterans, often qualifies for tax deductions. This means that you may be able to reduce your taxable income by the value of the items you donate.
To claim this deduction, it's important to keep detailed records of your donations. You should document the items donated along with their fair market values. Having receipts or acknowledgment letters from AMVETS can also help substantiate your claims when filing taxes.
It's beneficial to note that not all donations are treated equally under tax laws. Generally, clothing and household goods in good condition are eligible for deductions, while other types of contributions may have different rules. Always consult IRS guidelines or a tax professional for specific advice tailored to your situation.
By contributing items you no longer need while potentially lowering your tax bill, you make an impact on both personal finances and the lives of veterans needing support—an excellent way to give back without compromising financial health.
Impact of Donations on Veterans' Lives
Donations to AMVETS play a crucial role in transforming the lives of veterans. Each contribution, whether big or small, directly supports programs designed for their well-being. These initiatives often include job training, mental health resources, and educational scholarships that help veterans reintegrate into civilian life.
Many veterans face challenges after serving our country. They may struggle with transitioning back to daily routines and finding stable employment. By donating goods or funds to AMVETS, supporters provide vital assistance that can lead to sustainable careers and improved quality of life.
Additionally, donations aid in providing essential services such as housing support and medical care. Accessing these resources allows veterans to focus on healing rather than worrying about basic needs. This kind of security is invaluable for those who have sacrificed so much.
Moreover, the camaraderie fostered by donation-driven community events helps combat feelings of isolation among veterans. Engaging with fellow service members creates a strong network where they can share experiences and support each other’s journeys toward recovery. Such connections are fundamental in enhancing overall well-being.
Conclusion
When considering amvet donations, it’s clear that your contributions can have a profound impact on the lives of veterans and their families.

How to Maintain a Black Car: Tips for Showroom Shine
Why Black Cars Require Special Care
Black cars are stunning, but they demand a higher level of maintenance. The color black absorbs light, making scratches, swirl marks, and dust more visible. Therefore, a proper care routine is essential to preserve its deep, glossy finish.
1. Regular Washing is a Must
Frequent washing is crucial for maintaining a black car. Dust, dirt, and contaminants are more visible on black paint, and if left unchecked, they can damage the clear coat and paint underneath. Here’s how to do it right:
Use Two Buckets: One for soapy water and one for rinsing your sponge or microfiber cloth. This prevents dirt from being reintroduced to the car’s surface.
Opt for Microfiber Cloths: Microfiber is gentler on the paint and less likely to cause scratches compared to regular sponges.
Dry Thoroughly: After washing, use a clean, soft microfiber towel to dry the car. Avoid air drying as it can leave water spots.
2. Invest in High-Quality Car Wax
Waxing is essential for protecting the paint and maintaining that showroom shine. A good wax creates a protective barrier that shields the paint from UV rays, bird droppings, and other contaminants.
Choose the Right Wax: For black cars, opt for a wax that enhances the depth and gloss of the paint. Carnauba wax is a popular choice for its superior shine and protection.
Wax Regularly: Aim to wax your car every three months. This keeps the paint protected and looking its best.
3. Use Paint Sealant for Long-Lasting Shine
While wax provides a good layer of protection, a paint sealant offers a more durable solution. Paint sealants can last up to six months and provide a glossy finish similar to that of a wax.
Application Tips: Apply the sealant in a shaded area to prevent it from drying too quickly. Use a clean, soft applicator pad and follow the product’s instructions.
4. Keep It Covered
Whenever possible, park your car in a covered area or use a car cover. This protects it from environmental elements like sun, rain, and bird droppings that can mar the paint.
5. Professional Detailing
Regular professional detailing is one of the best investments you can make for your black car. At Detailing Devils, our expert technicians use advanced techniques and high-quality products to keep your car looking immaculate.
Mayapuri: Conveniently located, our Mayapuri studio offers top-notch detailing services to keep your car in pristine condition.
Lajpat Nagar: Our Lajpat Nagar location provides expert care and attention to detail, ensuring your car always looks its best.
Vasant Kunj: For those in South Delhi, our Vasant Kunj studio offers comprehensive detailing services tailored to your car’s needs.
Golf Link Delhi: Serving the areas near India Gate, Khan Market, and Pandara Park, our Golf Link studio is easily accessible for all your car care needs.
6. Use Detailing Spray Between Washes
For maintaining that just-washed look, use a detailing spray between washes. These sprays help remove light dust and fingerprints while enhancing the car’s gloss.
Quick Touch-Ups: Keep a bottle of detailing spray and a microfiber cloth in your car for quick touch-ups. This is especially useful after a short drive or when you’re heading to an event.
7. Avoid Automated Car Washes
Automated car washes, especially those with brushes, can cause scratches and swirl marks on your car’s paint. It’s best to stick to hand washes or use touchless car washes if necessary.
8. Pay Attention to the Wheels and Tires
Clean wheels and tires enhance the overall appearance of your black car. Use a dedicated wheel cleaner and tire shine to keep them looking new. This not only improves aesthetics but also prevents brake dust from damaging the wheels.
9. Interior Matters Too
Don’t neglect the interior. A clean, well-maintained interior complements the exterior shine. Regularly vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and condition leather seats if applicable.
10. Stay Consistent
Consistency is key to maintaining a black car. Establish a regular cleaning and maintenance routine. The more consistent you are, the easier it will be to keep your car looking its best.
Conclusion
Maintaining a black car requires dedication, but the results are undeniably worth it. By following these tips and leveraging the expertise of Detailing Devils, you can ensure your black car remains the epitome of elegance and sophistication. Whether you’re in Mayapuri, Lajpat Nagar, Vasant Kunj, or Golf Link Delhi, our detailing studios are here to help you achieve that perfect showroom shine. Visit us today and experience the ultimate in car care.

Truly the worst thing he did as president. Some of his lawyers and followesr still call him President! He isn't and should not be! I don't even want to refer to him as A former president! He cheated on all his wives. Melonia, I believe, married him for money. She hated being the First Lady and purposly did a horrible job at it! Doesn't live in the same house as Trump. She is rarely seen with him! Melonia hates him! Loves their son Barron and she will do everything she can to make sure Baron is not screwed over by Trump! Trump is a cult leader of his followers and supporters! I have family members who adore Trump! It makes me sick! Trump tried to flush documents down White House toilets! He says he is 6 ' 3 and weighs only 215! He's more like 315! He is a slob! Cheats at gokf, every time he p!ays! Tried to cheat as golf the time he played Tiger Woods! Tiger caught him! Created space force and I have no idea what they do or if this is a real thing ! Rarely wire A mask during the pandemic. Hated wearing be mask because bit messed up his orange make up! Said he would get rid of Obama care! It never happened and he said his plan would be bigger and better! I'm still waiting! Wears adult diapers. Can't control his bowels because if his drug use in the 1980s! There is videos of the stinky guy farting and you can see people like Mike Pence, have that face of someone smelling A fart! With the border, Trump said he built A whole wall and nobody could get through or over it in truth Trump built only 50 miles of the wall and most of it was replacing old parts of the wall. Trump had used cheap martial. Less then a year the wall was falling apart ! In some parts the walk was rotting away! Some spots were cut through, multiple tines, even after being fixed! The material was cheap and a person could buy cheap tools to get through the fence! Oh brother! Trumpnhad more illegal immigrants cross the border then any modern president in history! Same with drugs! Trump has no idea that drugs come from all over the world! Not all gets in the country! Thanks to border patrol and drug agents at airports. For example! Not all drugs come from Mexico! Same with illegal immigrants! There are some who try to get in the States, by trying to use illegal papers! Those people are sent back to their country, right away! Agents go through so much stuff and do find lots of illegal drugs! Don't forget, there are a lot of people who make illegal drugs in drug houses! Trump banned Muslims from entering the United States! He doesn't believe in global warming! He told California people to rake their forests, after he refused to send money to California after terrible fires! Went to Puerto Rico after a hurricane and threw people paper towels! Puerto Rico suffered badly after a hurricane and suffered more because Trump refuse to send them aid money! He took a sharper to a map directing a hurricane towards Alabama when it wasn't going that way! Scaring the crap out of Alabama residents! Trump loved to say when a hurricane was going to happen, he would be the wetest Hurricane we'd ever seen! Said he never heard the word caravan until one was heading to the States from Central and Southern America! Then he said their was criminals and terrorists in the middle of the caravan! Totaly untrue! Said he would never have a company leave the USA to go to another country! Bull! Said that companies were coming back to the USA after he did the Chinese tariff deal! Not! Hates wind bines because a wind farm was built near one of his golf courses and lowered the property value! Unbelievable! It makes me sick knowing, there are people can't take off the blinders to see the truth will vote for Trump for President! For me it's Biden all the way!

Golf Glove Mastery: A Pro Guide to Cleaning and Storage
Golf, a sport of precision and finesse, relies on the synergy between the golfer and their gear. Amidst the clubs, tees, and balls, the unassuming golf glove silently plays a vital role in a golfer's performance. Beyond its primary function of providing grip, a well-maintained golf glove contributes to comfort and control during each swing. This guide delves into the art of mastering golf glove care, focusing on the crucial first step—learning how to clean your golf gloves like a pro. Whether you're a seasoned player or a weekend enthusiast, adopting these simple techniques can noticeably impact your game.
How to Clean Golf Gloves:
While cleaning golf gloves may seem trivial, it significantly influences their durability and performance. Here's a professional approach to cleaning your golf gloves:
1. Gather Your Supplies: Begin by assembling the essentials for cleaning – mild soap or dishwashing liquid, a soft cloth or sponge, and access to lukewarm water. Having these supplies ready streamlines the cleaning process.
2. Remove Excess Dirt: Before immersing your golf gloves, delicately brush off loose dirt or debris using a soft brush or your hands. This preliminary step prevents abrasive particles from causing damage during the cleaning process.
3. Create a Soapy Mixture: Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild soap or dishwashing liquid. Mix the soap thoroughly into the water, creating a gentle, soapy solution to effectively clean your gloves.
4. Spot Test: Prior to cleaning the entire glove, conduct a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area. This ensures that the soap won't lead to discoloration or damage to the material.
5. Clean the Gloves: Dip the soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently clean the entire surface of the golf gloves. Pay extra attention to areas with visible stains or dirt buildup, using a light touch to avoid damaging the delicate leather or synthetic material.
6. Rinse Thoroughly: Once cleaned, thoroughly rinse the gloves under lukewarm running water. Ensure complete removal of any soap residue to prevent potential skin irritation during future use.
7. Remove Excess Water: Gently press out excess water from the gloves without wringing or twisting them. Utilize a clean, dry towel to blot the gloves and absorb any additional moisture.
8. Air Dry Properly: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Steer clear of direct sunlight and heat sources, as excessive heat can harm the glove material.
By meticulously following these steps, you can clean your golf gloves with precision, preserving their quality and extending their lifespan.
Steps for Expertly Cleaning Golf Gloves:
Cleaning your golf gloves requires attention to detail, significantly influencing their longevity and overall performance. Follow this systematic guide for a meticulous cleaning process:
Gathering Supplies: Ensure you have the essentials – mild soap, a soft brush, and lukewarm water. Having these items ready streamlines the cleaning process for efficient glove care.
Removing Excess Dirt: Start by gently brushing off loose dirt or debris from your golf gloves. This initial step prevents potential damage during the cleaning process, preserving the gloves' integrity.
Creating a Soapy Mixture: Formulate a gentle, soapy solution by mixing mild soap into lukewarm water. This solution becomes the key element in effectively cleaning your gloves.
Perform a Spot Test: Before immersing the entire glove in the soapy water, conduct a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area. This precaution ensures that the soap won't cause discoloration or damage to the material. If the spot test proves successful, proceed to the subsequent step.
Methodically Clean the Gloves: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently clean the entire surface of the golf gloves. Pay particular attention to areas with visible stains or dirt buildup, using a light touch to preserve the delicate leather or synthetic material of the gloves.
Thorough Rinse: Once the gloves are cleaned, thoroughly rinse them under lukewarm running water. Guarantee the complete removal of any soap residue to prevent potential skin irritation during future rounds of golf.
Remove Excess Moisture: Gently press out the excess water from the gloves without resorting to wringing or twisting. Employ a clean, dry towel to blot the gloves and absorb any additional moisture, expediting the drying process.
Allow Natural Air Drying: Facilitate the drying process by allowing the gloves to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or utilizing heat sources like hairdryers, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the glove material.
By adhering to these thorough steps, you can expertly clean your golf gloves, ensuring they maintain their quality and enjoy an extended lifespan.
Pro Tips for Proper Storage of Clean Golf Gloves:
Having successfully cleaned your golf gloves, the next critical aspect of maintenance is proper storage. Here are expert tips to ensure your clean golf gloves remain in prime condition:
1. Allow Complete Drying: Ensure your golf gloves are entirely dry before storing them. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew development, affecting both appearance and functionality.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store your golf gloves away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material deterioration over time.
3. Use a Glove Shaper: Invest in glove shapers or inserts, especially for leather gloves. These aids help maintain the glove's shape, preventing misshaping or wrinkling.
4. Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Choose a cool, dry storage spot for your golf gloves. Excessive heat or humidity can compromise material integrity, leading to premature wear.
5. Avoid Compression: Do not stack or compress your golf gloves during storage. Keeping them in their natural shape preserves flexibility and fit.
Mastering the art of golf glove care involves not only cleaning your gloves effectively but also storing them properly to ensure they remain in top condition. By following the steps for cleaning golf gloves like a pro and implementing tips for proper storage, you'll enhance the longevity and performance of your golf gloves, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your game on the golf course.

6:00 AM, Monty Golf
FNaF:SB Hub, < prev, next >
I'm so sad that Shattered Monty doesn't get a real boss fight in the game. I know technically it's because his boss fight happens before you decommission him, but both Chica and Roxy got super awesome boss fights while destroyed and they just left Monty on the floor of the stage. Anyway, I've rectified that somewhat by giving Monty a chance to chase Ranboo out of Monty Golf while destroyed <3 Enjoy my non-canon addition to the 6:00 AM chapter! Rewrite of the Afton ending next week, and then it's Charlie’s turn ((: So sorry this was late!!

--
Climbing down the stage scaffolding to reach the floor of Monty Golf was even worse than Ranboo expected.
The metal shook and threatened to cave with every step down, wobbling in his still slightly slick grip as he hoped and prayed he wouldn't fall and end up like Monty. A heavy sigh of relief escaped him as he made it down, eager to finally have both feet on the solid stage at the bottom—even though he was right next to Monty’s completely mangled body.
“That fall really did some serious damage…”
Ranboo let his comment trail off into awkward silence as he noticed that Monty’s body had been split clean in half, with his legs mostly destroyed and the exposed wires sparking. His casing was practically nonexistent, the plastic shattered and sunglasses long gone, jaw hanging slack at an awkward angle.
“Sorry, Monty.” Ranboo apologized, kneeling down beside his head and opting to carefully remove his specialized claws for Freddy instead of just walking away. As soon as he was done he stood, tucking them in his hoodie pocket and turning to leave the course before pausing and adding, “Well… sort of.”
Ranboo paused again as he stepped off the stage, glancing around the golf course only to realize he had absolutely no idea how to get out.
“Well… that's not good.”
The upbeat music of the mini golf course was faint, an uncanny underscoring as one of the animatronic gators hiding in the water jumped out and hissed before retreating back into the water. Ranboo awkwardly picked his way over the green of one hole of the course, trying to find a way up to the second floor to get a better look around. He froze in place as there was suddenly a loud whirring from behind him, followed by a loud thump directly behind him.
“Where’re you goin’?” Monty’s words were garbled but understandable enough, followed by a deep screeching growl that had Ranboo straightening up with a sharp spike of fear.
“OH GOD THINGS JUST GOT WORSE!!” He yelled before taking off as fast as he could, running past a food station and jumping over golf course greenery in a hurried attempt to put any distance between himself and what was left of Monty. A glance back over his shoulder saw Monty’s top half stumbling awkwardly on his hands, cables and busted casing dragging along the ground as he crawled forward. “I SHOULD’VE KNOWN BETTER!!”
The next glance back over his shoulder was just in time to see Monty brace his mangled body on his arms and launch himself forward in a jump, Ranboo's eyes blowing wide as he dodged out of the way and aimed his run for a nearby hallway to try and get out of sight.
“WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE?!” He yelled—mostly rhetorically—as he passed through a misty doorway and into the hallway he was eyeing. “Not that I haven't already learned how messed up it is, but this is something else.”
Glancing around, he quickly spotted the bathroom doors and threw himself inside, hearing Monty yelling from outside, “You're in trouble now!”
“I’m always in trouble, apparently.” Ranboo mumbled under his breath, back pressed to the wall between the two bathroom doors in an empty spot beside a paper towel dispenser. “And man oh man do I wish I wasn’t.”
Listening to Monty growl and yell from the other side of the door was awful, Ranboo trying to catch his breath while waiting for a moment he could sprint out and hopefully figure out a way back to the main area of the Pizzaplex. The layout of the course was not very helpful, him having run past holes 14, 16, and 13 in no particular order—or one that he was too busy running for his life to pay attention to.
Monty’s noises eventually faded somewhat, Ranboo pushing the door open and peeking out, relishing in the momentary relief as Monty wasn't immediately visible. He then snuck out of the bathroom and down the hall back into the main golf course, wishing that the water and music weren't so loud so that he could hear Monty’s normally thundering footsteps.
Though technically now they weren't footsteps.
Whoops.
Stumbling over more mini golf holes, Ranboo finally spotted a set of escalators that led to the second floor, internally cheering as he glanced around to make sure it was safe and ran over to them. He stepped onto the one that was heading up, clearing the first few steps in one stride before—
“Game over, kid!” Monty cheered as his jump landed him directly behind Ranboo on the escalator stairs, the latter turning around just in time to see Monty reach one clawless hand out and grab for his uninjured leg.
“AHHH!!”
Ranboo shook his leg as hard as he could as Monty latched on, both hands desperately grabbing the moving railing of the escalator as he tried to get Monty to let go. What was left of the animatronic banged against the slow moving steps and glass sides as Ranboo tried to get him off, eventually forcing Monty to let go with a particularly hard kick into the edge of the stair behind him—sending him tumbling down to the bottom in a destroyed heap.
“I think I actually just peed my pants. Like I feel like there is actual pee in my pants right now.”
Running up the rest of the escalator before Monty could recover, he hit the landing without stopping as he spotted what looked to be an elevator that led out of the game area.
Quickly jogging over and slamming the call button repeatedly, the car arrived quickly and Ranboo got in, hitting the button to go up a little harder than necessary and slumping to the floor in relief as the doors closed and Monty was nowhere to be seen. “Whew… Finally out.”
By the time the elevator doors opened again Ranboo’s adrenaline was fading, him stumbling exhaustedly out of the car and looking around to see if Freddy was waiting for him like he said he would be.
The friendly animatronic was sitting on a bench nearby and clearly waiting for him, Ranboo running over as fast as he could—dodging a patrolling security bot on the way.
“Hey… Freddy…” Ranboo greeted as he approached the bench, panting heavily with a slightly crazed smile from the exhaustion and slowly returning pain. “Want some new claws?”
Freddy stared at him in a concerned disappointment, letting out a slow sigh and shaking his head instead of replying.
