Meeting and Dating Buddy Revell

(This gif came out kinda alright considering it was made by me)(requested by @oh777 )

(My inner love for dissecting characters came out so if you’d like to see my ideas of why buddy is the way he is you can find them at the bottom of this post.)

- You, of course, meet Buddy at school. You’d had all morning to hear about the new psycho student before you actually got your eyes on the him. Because of that your first actual meeting was...kind of disappointing. Well no not disappointing just anticlimactic.

- It was just after first period, you were heading to your locker to get some stuff for your next class when you saw him. He was standing in front of your locker looking at the little slip of paper the main office gives you that has your combo printed on it. You debated just going to class unprepared instead of talking to him but you decided against it and walked up to him.

“Hi,” you greeted awkwardly. “Sorry but you’re standing in front of my locker...”

- He looked down at you and your heart stopped beating for a second. That is until he shuffled to the side with a low ‘sorry’ before he began trying to open what must have been his locker. Jerry had seen the entire thing right before he tried to verbally convince Buddy to let him off the hook.

- After your next class he begged you to try and help him survive. He wanted you to try and distract him after school so that he could have more time to plan what he was going to do. You hesitantly agreed but didn’t promise him anything.

- You stress over what you’re going to do all day, how are you going to distract a guy hellbent on killing your friend? You aren’t sure but by the end of the day you have to think fast. Your legs are jelly and you’re gulping as you walk towards him but you just focus on how he didn’t kill you this morning and how that’s probably a good sign.

“Hi, Buddy is it? I’m y/n I didn’t get to introduce myself earlier,” he didn’t answer just kept moving stuff around his locker. “So...uh, how was your first day?

“Fine.” He responded after an awkward silence.

“Good, good! Do you have a favorite class yet? Well I guess it’s probably too early to tell, huh? I-”

“Listen girly I know what you’re trying to do.” You stiffened like a deer in the headlights. He looked at you for a long moment. “Why don’t you tell me something, hmm? Why would you stick your neck out for that kid?”

“Because... that’s what Jerry would do for me.” You shrug. He looks away and goes silent for a minute

“I’ve got a kid to kill.” He says and shuts his locker. You trail after him quickly, wide eyed and silent as he walks out into the parking lot.

- Jerry didn’t seem nearly as nervous as you thought he would be which you took as a good sign. So the fight happens, Buddy is defeated and the crowd begins to clear out until it’s only really you left in the parking lot with a few unconscious bodies. You hear Buddy let out a groan so you hesitantly creep over and stand above him.

- He opens his eyes and they focus on you for a long minute as he tries to get his bearings. Finally he sits up and pushes himself to his feet, remaining silent as he stumbles to his car.

“I really don’t think you should be driving right now!” You can hear him let out a sort of low chuckle before he turns to you.

“Yeah? How else am I gonna get home?”

“Well... I can drive you...if you want?” He doesn’t say anything for a long time, you’re just about to leave until he throws you his keys and climbs into his passenger seats.

- You hop into the drivers seat and push the key into the ignition while he pulls down his mirror and rubs at the blood under his nose. He tells you what street he lives on and you start your drive towards his house. For the most part you’re silent until you decide to shoot your shot at the weirdly handsome new to the school psycho.

“Do you uh want some lunch or something?”

“-Fuck it; sure why not.”

- Before you know it you’re sitting in a booth with him at a pizza place not too far from school. You don’t talk for a good few minutes until he finally speaks.

“How does a girl like you wind up hanging around a kid like ...Jerry.” You quirk a brow in confusion. “I mean you’re nice and pretty and all that. Why would you hang around a wimp like him. How do you even become friend with a guy like that.”

- You start to talk about how you got to know Jerry and told him a few stories of things that had happened during your friendship with the boy. You were definitely less uncomfortable around him by the time the two of you had finished eating. When you’re walking out of the pizza place he convinces you that he’s fine to drive and you hesitantly give him your address so that he can drive you home.

- Once you pull up in front of your house, you thank him and start to get out until he grabs your wrist. You quickly turn to face him and he asks if he can “drive you home tomorrow”. You know exactly what he means by it and agree with a smile.

- The next day at school, Jerry tells you all about how Buddy gave him back the money and how he thinks he respects him now. You smile but neglect to inform him or anyone else that you’re going to be going on a date with the guy later that day.

- After school Buddy waits by your lockers and let’s you gather your things before the two of you walk to his car. He takes you to the movie theater where the two of you share a large popcorn and different boxed candy. You spend a lot of time glancing over at each other rather than watching the movie.

- Once the movies over the two of you sit in his car and talk about the cheesy parts of the film while you finish some of the candy you hadn’t eaten before. You realize just how much you’re beginning to like him as you watch him smile and shake his head while mentioning a particularly stupid scene.

- He drives you home and parks in front of your house; rubbing his hands across his jeans as he leans back in his seat. You give each other a long look before you slowly lean in and kiss him soft and quick. Once you pull away you quickly hop out of the car and give him a smile, telling him you’ll see him tomorrow. After you’ve disappeared inside your house he touches his lips; staring at your door before he shakes his head with a smile and drives off.

- You finally tell your friends about you and him, the next day. They think you’re crazy for even talking with the guy let alone going out with him. You assure them that he’s actually pretty nice but they don’t believe you. You can’t bring yourself to care.

- It’s not long before the whole school knows about the two of you. Some people will avoid you, others will try to get you to explain why you’re doing this to yourself but you just ignore them. You’re happy with Buddy and that’s all that matters.

- He always walks you to class.

- He usually walks with his arm around your shoulders during the school day. Everyone tends to move out of your way as you walk down the hall.

- You do make him seem a little less evil. It’s hard to maintain the reputation of a brutal killer when a girl half your size is tugging you around by your hand.

- Getting driven to and from school every day.

- Going places with nice views to just hang out in his car and talk to each other.

- Sitting with him when he smokes.

- Sitting with him in the library during lunch.

- You start off with soft kisses and that’s all you really do at the start of your relationship, up until he just can’t take it anymore and ambushes you with a full on heated makeout session.

- As much as he doesn’t like being touched by anyone he doesn’t particularly mind when it’s you doing the touching. He trusts and likes you, and that makes all the difference in the world.

- After a while he starts to really enjoy physical contact, well, as long as it’s with you. You’re the exception.

- He isn’t really sure how to respond to just innocent affection. He likes it...in a weird way, it makes him a kinda flustered and sometimes a little uncomfortable but it’s kind of nice at the same time?

- Brushing his hair out of his face.

- Sitting in his lap.

- Laying your head on his shoulder while he reads.

- Piggyback rides

- He could honestly lift you up with one hand if he wanted. It’s like you weigh nothing to him at all.

- He always wants to be seen with you; he’s proud that you’re his.

- Constantly says how you’re too good for him. He’s only partly joking.

- He doesn’t really like talking about his time in continuation or at his other schools so you have a kind of murky collection of different moments but not a full story.

- Learning why he doesn’t like being touched and supporting him, promising to help him in any way he needs.

- You’re admittedly extremely in love. He likes when you tell him, over time he’ll mutter it back to you.

- He loves hearing you ramble on about something you’re passionate about.

- He doesn’t really have any reason to be jealous since no one ever really dares to even talk to you knowing that you guys are dating.

- He still intimidates any guy who seems to be trying to get too friendly.

- Hes very protective even though no one would ever think about hurting you.

- Wearing his leather jacket.

- He lets you look at his brass knuckles when you spot them in his room one day.

- If you pester him about it he’ll “teach” you how to fight. The quotations are there because he never really takes it seriously, it’s alright though because neither are you.

- Watching wrestling with him at his house.

- Tossing a football to each other every now and again.

- He gives you his old jersey to sleep in.

- If you want to spoon then he’s always the big spoon because there’s just no other way that shits going to logically happen. You usually cuddle with either him as the big spoon or with you snuggled into his side with his arm wrapped around you.

- Sharks are his favorite animal so if you were to ever get him anything shark related he would be elated.

- He’s actually really smart. He doesn’t mind helping you study or do homework.

- You have to stand on your tippy toes to kiss him; he finds this adorable.

- He’s in awe when you wear his clothes. They’re huge on you and you think you look a little stupid in them but it doesn’t change how amazing he thinks you look.

- He just thinks you’re so beautiful. Even if he doesn’t tell you a lot, he’s constantly thinking it.

- Forcing him to make amends with Jerry. He does apologize but they don’t exactly become friends, they just kind of tolerate each other.

- I feel like Buddy would find Jerry and rant to him or silently hang out with him whenever you two were fighting. All Jerry would be able to do is just sit there like he was in the twilight zone or something.

- Double dates with Jerry and his girlfriend.

- You’re the talk of the school. There’s so many rumors going around about you.

- Helping him work off his anger ;)

- He thinks everyone’s trying to start something or try something with him. You have to convince him that they don’t mean anything by what they say.

- Patching him up after fights when you can’t stop him.

- Hes really nervous when meeting your parents. They don’t approve of him until they meet him and realize he’s actually kind of sweet especially to you.

- The future will happen when it happens. He just wants to enjoy the fact that for now you’re utterly and completely his.

{ Alright so here’s the thing; Buddy is a really complex character that I just cannot perfectly understand. Here’s a little bit of what I’ve picked up and decided is a plausible explanation for why he is the way he is~

Buddy seems like the victim of abuse, most likely by his father since every time he’s reacted violently to being touched the victim was a guy. Another reason behind my thinking is that he looks scared and uncomfortable rather than embarrassed when Jerry does land a punch on him; it looked a lot like he had a flashback. So in my opinion it’s a case of serious same sex touch aversion caused by some traumatic experience in his life.

That’s why I think he’d be alright with you touching him because it seems a lot like it’s just male physical contact that really gets to him. }

Alright so I started this blog for fun, but also so I could start a series. I’ve been writing stories (loosely) based on @taylorswift songs for a bit and I figured, why not share them? As reputation is my favourite album, I’ll start with my story based off of Ready For It. Hope you enjoy!!

———————————————————————

Knew he was a killer the first time that I saw him. It wasn’t hard to deduce, not when he had pinned me up against a wall in the back of an alley, a polished knife digging into my neck. All I could see was the murder in his eyes. My brain had scrambled, desperately trying to figure out where I had gone wrong. I had been oh so careful, making sure to never leave a trace. I hadn’t taken my gloves off since my arrival in this forsaken city. I always made sure that the hair dye job was holding up, that my blonde roots were not showing through the mousy brown. I had not worn my size of shoes, ensuring that no one would be able to trace any footprints back to me. And now there was a knife digging into my skin, and hot breath against my cheek. What had I forgotten?

“What’s your name?”, the brute demands. I blink slowly. He was clearly poorly trained. Any good assassin, any Carrythian assassin knew to confirm your mark’s identity before cornering them. Killing was so much easier when there was no talking involved. At least, that’s what I had been told.

“Elle. What’s yours, baby?”, I ask, letting a sensuous smile curve my lips upward. I’ll use any distraction, anything to get me out of this situation.

“I am not an idiot. I know that’s not your name, just as you know exactly why I’m here.” He says roughly. The knife hasn’t shifted, hasn’t stopped digging in just hard enough to keep me still, but not hard enough to draw blood. He may be one of the king’s assassins, but it does seem as though he has a slight clue of what he’s doing. How unusual.

“If you know my name, why didn’t you just say so? And stop wasting my time with your bullshit posturing. According to you, we both know why we’re here after all, isn’t that right?” I wrack my brains, trying to figure out what makes him stand out, why I feel like I know him… “Joe?”

I see the name hit its target, right as I feel a faint line of fire burn across my neck. Blood pools beneath the knife, and a single droplet rolls down my neck. Joe is staring at my neck in surprise, as though he hadn’t planned on cutting my neck. When he starts to speak, he almost sounds a bit sorry. It doesn’t last long.

“I- Alright. Elle, or should I say Elizabeth,” he winks, gloating in the fact that he knows who I am, “The king isn’t too pleased that you took his jewels. All of them, in fact. He wants them back, or you dead. I think you know where I fit into this equation, seeing as you seem to have some idea of who I am. And what I do.”

Joe, this kingdom’s most deadly assassin, looks at me grimly.

“So I either return them, or die, is that right?”

“Yes.”

“But what if,” I say, “I don’t have them? What then?”

A rat rummages through the garbage behind Joe. Neither of us pay it any attention. His focus is centered solely on me. He looks at me quizzically, his brown eyes scanning my face, looking for any hint of deception, any sign that he was being tricked. I let no emotion show on my pale face.

“You’re lying,” He says, somewhat desperately. I shrug.

“That’s for you to decide. But you seem to have a lot riding on this? Is the ickle bickle king giving you a hard time? Making threats?” I ask.

His hand slackens, in either surprise or fear, but I don’t waste a second of it. In three quick moves, I am out of his grasp with him pinned to the wall in my place. As it should be.

I grin wickedly, relishing every second of it. Joe, or whatever his true name was, is notorious for being unstoppable, unbeatable. And yet here he is, completely at my mercy. I lean in.

“I’ll make you a deal,” I whisper into his ear, “You don’t tell the king you found me, and I don’t kill you right here. He needs you, right?”

Joe flinched slightly.

“Or does he?” I wonder aloud. “Well, either way, I don’t care. Just nod your head, agree to my terms, and we both end up happy, hmm?”

Joe swallows, his Adam’s apple bobbing against the knife. He seems unable to meet my eyes, keeping them firmly trained on the dusty cobblestones beneath us instead. I lift his chin, waiting until he meets my stare. It takes a while, but finally his brown eyes meet my blue ones and all I can see is fear. I would stay to ponder the mystery of the king’s assassin, his strange mood swings that have him shifting between extremes, but I have a ship to catch.

“I asked if you agree, Joe. And I have better places to be, so if you could hurry this lovely little encounter up, that would be lovely.” I watch Joe, as these words hit him.

“It’s Richard, actually.” Is all he ends up saying.

“Proud of you. Didn’t ask. You already know my name’s Elizabeth, but you won’t be needing your name if you don’t make your mind up in the next three seconds,” I snap. Does this imbecile not know that people have places to be?

This finally seems to get through to Richard, and a fog lifts from his eyes.

“I’m coming.”

“Like hell you are.”

“No, I- I need to come. I can’t stay here, or he’ll kill me.” Richard mutters. I pull the knife back slightly. Twelve bells toll in the distance. Shit. I have to go. I look at Richard, at how his face has lost its deadly aggression and now holds only infinite sadness and a tinge of fear.

“Fine. Fine, you can come. Just hurry the hell up.” I snarl, turning and sheathing my knife. I take off at a dead sprint without seeing if Richard is following. If he truly was in that much danger, he would have no other choice.

Seconds later, I hear the sound of footsteps echoing behind me and I know that Richard is truly following me to the ship.

Soon enough, we arrive at the docks and I race to The Queen of the East, Richard right behind me. I bolt up the gangplank and whip around, pulling a knife out of its sheath in one smooth motion.

Richard’s hands fly up. Unfortunately for him, the knife struck him in the heart a second before he had the chance to grab any of the weapons that I’m sure are covering his body. His eyes go wide and he chokes, hands scrabbling at his throat uselessly. Richard’s body falls to the ground.

I walk over cautiously, just in case, but by the time I arrive at his side I see that my trepidation was useless. Richard is as dead as a doornail and half as useful too.

I squat down, thighs straining against my dark leathers, and start rolling the corpse towards the gang plank. With one mighty shove, Richard tumbles down, down onto the dock.

I nod to the captain, a dark haired pirate that I freed from prison years ago, and head down to the trove.

That night I fall asleep between piles and piles of gems. Everywhere I look there is treasure, a vast amount that I still can not seem to wrap my head around. Gold, silver, rubies, sapphires, diamonds, all forming hundreds of thousands of the kingdom’s priceless artefacts. My priceless artefacts. I let a soft smile slip onto my face, reveling in the luxury of it all. I may not have married a prince or run away with a pauper, but I know I found the love for me.

EARLY YEARS;

Ethan Wood was born and raised to do one thing and one thing only: play soccer. Being the middle child of legendary University of North Carolina starting forward Olivier Wood and renowned athleisure wear designer Daphne Wood, there was only one path for this budding young soccer prodigy. And it was to follow in daddy’s footsteps donning the prestigious Carolina blue and white of his father’s alma mater. 

His childhood was pleasant, raised on his family’s estate in the coveted Eight and filled with family getaways and father/son trips to UNC/Wake Forest rivalry matches. Matches that he hoped to one day play in. Young Ethan was a natural talent and he picked up the game rather quickly, spending every free moment practicing in the yard or scribbling down strategies. He wanted nothing more than to make his father proud and carry on his legacy. 

HIGH SCHOOL;

Ethan was sent to one of the finest private schools on the island that money could buy. Of course, he wasn’t there for his grades and what he lacked in brains, his skills on the field made up for. He made varsity soccer his freshman year and then went on to become captain during his senior year, reveling in all the perks that came with being a star athlete: parties, hookups, popularity. As Ethan’s athletic abilities along with his ego continued to grow, so did his competitive edge, arrogance, and hot temper which is known for getting him into trouble on and off the pitch. He’s no stranger to an alcohol induced bawl and struggles to keep his temper under control. 

COLLEGE;

It’s no secret that in the OBX money talks and Mr. Wood had deep pockets. A library donation and a legacy later, Ethan finally realized his dream and secured a spot on his beloved UNC soccer team. His temper being the reason for the trouble in the first place. It didn’t take long for him to become the frat star worthy of his reputation. Sure, he had to overcome those pesky freshman years, team hazing, and locker room banter, even spending the half a season on the bench for his hot headed temper. Nonetheless, he managed to make a name for himself even if slightly tarnished.

SEASON 1; 

Fresh off his college graduation, Ethan returned to the Outer Banks with his sights set on playing professional soccer in the upcoming season. Before entering the real world in the fall, he joined the show for one last hurrah and boy did he get what he signed up for. The summer was filled with all sorts of shenanigans, parties, booze, and hook-ups. 

Ethan rounded out the first season of OBX rather unscathed, save for a secret hook-up and an unlikely friendship that he formed with a pogue. He gained some notoriety from the show and it was a perfect launch for his new life in the public eye.  

SEASON 2; 

Ethan started footy training in the fall after the reality show ended, and he played for Inter Miami FC, a team owned by David Beckham himself. He took up residence in Miami for the soccer season and traveled the country with his team becoming the soccer star he always wanted to be. His rookie season was one for the books, and if you thought his ego couldn’t get any bigger, check again. 

In his off time, Ethan maintained his growing popularity by making appearances at all the Miami hot spots and keeping up a rather impressive social media presence, constantly posting his fitness routines and workouts in addition to his nights out. This earned him a reputation off the pitch, and his name managed to find its way into the local papers and magazines. He did his best to keep in touch with his friends from the show despite his busy schedule, and even visited the OBX whenever he could. 

With his first professional soccer season in the books, Ethan returned to the reality show for another summer, much to his PR team’s dismay who was working to clean up with reputation, not add to it. It was another summer filled with partying, booze, and messing around. A well deserved celebration after a triumphant soccer season. Ethan grew closer with his housemates and even started forming stronger connections with some of them as family, friends, or more. 

POST SEASON 2;

High off another successful season of Outer Banks, Ethan went back to Miami with a newfound air of confidence about him and an extra pep in his step. He worked and trained twice as hard, determined to play even better than last year. He managed to  keep up his scoring average and earned ‘man of the match’ in several games. Ethan spent less time in the OBX, but instead invited his buddies to come matches and come visit whenever he got the chance. He loved to preform and there was something about having the cast around that made him play even better. 

With only a handful of games left, Ethan suffered an injury that cut his season short. He tore his MCL and spent the months leading up to the summer recovering and going to physical therapy in Miami. His PR team advised him against returning to the show to focus on getting in shape for the upcoming season, but Ethan couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend the summer in Australia with his crew. 

POGUES VS KOOKS;

Ethan got into his fair share of Pogues vs Kooks scuffles back in high school. Nights filled with stupid boyish banter, booze, and blows. He likes to think he’s above all the rivalry now— playing pro ball and all—  but sometimes he still struggles to truly let go of the past and be the bigger person. He’s an athlete though and though, and rivalries are all just a part of the game.

HEADCANONS;

Despite the ever present confident air about him, Ethan is super generous especially when it comes to nights out and tipping. He is always happy to pick up the tab and doll out rounds of shots for him and his buddies at no charge. As selfish as he can be sometimes, he loves it when his friends are having a good time and is a firm believer in the more the merrier.

To help him keep his tempter on and off the pitch under control, Ethan got into boxing/mma and incorporates it into his workouts whenever he can. He can be found either going to a gym to practice his upper cuts or on beach working on them on his own. He does it mostly for fun, but every now and again finds himself having to throw down. 

For the most part, Ethan can’t really cook, but on the off chance he’s not sneaking out after a one night stand, he makes a killer breakfast, usually in his boxers.

He has secret love for astronomy and mythology particularly hero myths and the stories behind the constellations. Growing up, he always found them fascinating and was the only one of his brothers who would actually sit and listen to his grandfather babble on about them. Those were some of his most cherished memories, and he often celebrates his goals by blowing a kiss to the heavens to dedicate them the ol’ man. 

Moana is his absolute favorite Disney movie, and he will never say no to watching it. He also thinks Maui is the shit and knows all of the words to “You’re Welcome” by heart. Beware, he will actually belt it out if asked.

WANTED CONNECTIONS;

let’s make ‘em jealous; There’s no denying that Ethan and this person have chemistry. They are super flirty and all over each other, but in reality it’s all a rouse. They aren’t really into one another and are merely using each other to stir up some drama, cause a scene, and make the ones that really do catch their eyes jealous.  [OPEN]

the role model; Ethan didn’t really have many positive role models to look up to growing up, mainly just his father and his toxic masculinity. This person helps Ethan balance all that out and helps him deal with all those pesky emotions he was taught to keep suppressed inside in order to “be a man.” This person also keeps him in check and isn’t afraid to give him a much needed smack to the upside of the head when necessary. [OPEN]

the rival; To say Ethan is competitive is the understatement of the century, and he and this person have a rivalry for the ages. The two don’t like each other and this person never fails to get under Ethan’s skin. It could have even started back in school and carried over to now. Perhaps the reason Ethan had some trouble getting into UNC for soccer? Bonus points if they have to put all their differences aside and work together at some point for a common goal. [OPEN]

the hook-ups; Ethan really isn’t the type to stick around after a hook-up and is usually out before the sun comes up, never wanting to get attached. If anyone wants to give him a much deserved slap upside the head or just wants to keep things casual and flirty, let me know! [OPEN]

the real bros; for those looking for a second muse, Ethan has two brothers xD. Julian and Damian (names can totally change! I just headcannon them all ending in -an) He has one older brother who rejected the athlete/UNC/kook life leaving Ethan with the pressure to fill daddy’s soccer boots. They had a fall out and their relationship is shaky at best. Ethan also has a baby bro who he is definitely closer with. They get on rather typically through harmless banter and school boy shenanigans. He also has an innate protectiveness over him because he is older. [OPEN]

Totally open to anything and everything, so feel free to shoot me a message!! Also if you read all that WOW. You are the real MVP.

I Edited and added some informations ^^ since I wrote it.

I have to talk a bit more about the ‘eyewitness’s french adaptation. I’m crazy about it. Usually I’m not into french version but this one is the exception.

I love how they portrayed Yann ( who is Phillip in eyewitness US version )

He is a bit different than Phillip US version ( I love both portrayals by the way. So here in France, he is called Yann. His mother is a junkie too, But his foster parents are composed of his uncle. An uncle who wasn’t there for him and his mother most of his life... + his wife, Hélène, who is a gendarme. (It’s a military police type.)  His uncle is a dogs breeder by the way.

The dogs are so cute and fluffly and of course Yann has a lovely relashionship with one ^^

Let’s back to Yann. His character is awesome. Like Phillip he kisses Lucas ( Lukas in USA version ). First unlike Lukas, Lucas is surprised but doesn’t reject him. They are best friends since Yann came to his fosters parents ‘s house and you can see Lucas is into Yann before the first kiss. They don’t ignore each other at school either. But Yann has a bad reputation and he is not liked. He is judged as  a violent type of guy.

He did push violently a guy who talked bad about Lucas. The whole fight was filmed by cellphone and when Lucas found about it , he was pissed. Because he doesn’t need a shiny armor savior and he doesn’t want to be labelled as a weirdo like his friend.

It’s where i love Yann’s portrayal, he is matured ( like phillip ) but clearly he is bossy, fierce and delivers punchlines that cuts deep when he wants. He is still a lonely kid and an hurt kid who goes through too much for his young age. But damn, when he needs to be, he doesn’t let people off of the hook that easily. 

He is more patient with Lucas of course but sometimes you can see, he clearly wants to struggle him lol in cute way. He is clearly dumbfound by Lucas ‘s logic most of the time . ^^  

Oh a major change is there was someone who took pictures of them in that cabin ( so a third witness ) who wants money from Lucas to keep his mouth shut. Lucas is in a panic mode, when Yann is more eager to find who that person is and doesn’t want to pay the anonymous person.

There this scene where Lucas stole 2000 euros (2444 dollars  from his father and he told it to Yann after Yann asked abruptly (not even an Hi! to begin with, just where did you get that money ?” , Lucas was all proud and smiling because of what he succeed to do and Yann is pissed and said with a bossy voice and a very I’m not joking look in his eye :

“And this make you laugh “ so bossy that Lucas stops smiling immediately. You don’t mess up with a dead serious Yann. And most of the time, Lucas prefered to stop talking and go back to his home than deal with Yann than to escalade the fight ( and Yann  is always right even if he doesn’t have the solutions to their problems ). And Yann is trying hard to respect Lucas ‘s wish to not pressure him. 

Of course the story is more of less the same ( Oh lucas ‘s mother overheared Yann and Lucas talking about being gay and how Lucas kissed Yann ). Yeah Lucas’s mother is still alive in this version . He has still his father too ( who is not really happy about his son friendship with the “bad boy “ from town ).

Yann is so great.  when Lucas is mad at him for telling about the gun and rejects his offer to talk to him in private in front of his friends ;And his friends are all ready to film a fight between them and put more fire . Yann looks straight to Lucas, bossy voice , fierce eyes and say to Lucas

“No problem I can talk here. I don’t care” Then turn his head to the annoying  lucas’s friend and say menacing “ you, shut the fuck up “ and of course he does shup up. Lucas immediately agrees to talk in private with Yann and also tell his friend to let them be. 

the scene when Hélène and His uncle send him to talk to a psychiatrist is so well done, how he does nothing to help . Mostly saying “ I ‘ll pass “ to the doctor’s questions and even add “ god, you are annoying me, I’ll pass “ and then in the car, Hélène says , she thinks Lucas and him can still be friend and he continues to say “ I’ll pass” 

Another major change is that when everybody abandon Yann ( Helène and his uncle , Yann has this masterpiece line when he said to the social worker, that if he was a dog, he ‘ll be left in the breeder’s barn with the unwanted and unsold dogs ) and of course Lucas kissed a girl at a party .(Lucas has no girlfriend in this version ). Yann  really had enough, got drunk and even drunk like hell , he is still pissed at how Lucas dealed with the blackmailrs’ guy and the revelation about it ( he was lucas’s dad employee, a year ago , lucas found out this guy used his dad ‘s cabin to hide some packages ( he didn’t know it was drugs from the gangs ) and since his dad’s employée told him to shut up and gave him some canabis time to time in exchange for the silence he never said anything ). So yeah, even in despair, ,all drunk, Yann is still really pissed about that;  it ‘s cute.( by the way, the blackmail guy died in a shooting later )

He refused to answer Helene ‘s calls and Lucas ‘s calls ( Who feels like shit for being so shitty at Yann ) and he is walking inside a railroad, and then train is coming right behind him , give the sound alert for the boy and major change is , that he is closing his eyes and fall . We don’t know if he collapsed from his drunken state or deliberately tried to suicide. I rewatched the scene and i think he did try to suicide.

miracle he endsup only with his head hurt a bit because of the impact of the rocky ground and the train was too large to cut him in pieces when it passed over his body. So he ended up safe.

Next day, a worried Lucas learns that Yann almost died and wants to leave, he goes straight to bring the gun to Helene

Next eps and finals episodes next week 

oh by the way, the killer did see clearly Yann’s face (only Yann’s ) and Yann and Lucas did see clearly the killer ‘s face too. There was this intense scene, when the killer was waiting in frontp of their school to see if the young boy was there. And Lucas saw him and goes straight to alert Yann they have to find a way to escape by another way than the school’s front door.

they tried to avoid hanging up in town, because they know the killer is outhere searching for them. 

Lucas who is looking to Yann in next eps teaser, I can’t wait to watch it.

About Lucas, he is really most of the time in panic mode, in the closet, in denial , really hurt that Yann betrayed him, wants to hurt him back on the same level he is hurting but still unable to hate him. He almost cried when Helene told him ,Yann was missing. But since he was drunk and very good at lying he manages not too.

even hurt , you can still see he cares about Yann more than he wants.  You see he is missing being with Lucas, but he can bring himself to forgive him until of course he found out about the train, the news that he wants to leave and probably understand, that Yann wasn’t as strong than he thought and that Yann also needed Lucas to be there for him like Yann was for him. 

When they barely talked and Yann told Lucas , he cares about him ( twice ). You can see he doesn’t want to hear it because Yann ‘s feeling for him touched him so strongly and it’s too complicated for him to handle the emotions.

the pair is so well balanced. Because Lucas can be rough and commanding but Yann is an iron fist in a velvet glove. He doesn’t back up. They both have their own fragility. Lucas can only be be himself with Yann and Yann is more carefree with Lucas ( until the murders at least ). 

What i also loves is that they were fighting about what to tell , what not to, they felt comfortable fighting with each other. Really they are an item.
