#PISSING MYSELF LAUGHIN RN

~♥ PRIVACY PLEASE ♥~

[Okay, hi, hello. It’s been about two weeks since the children have seen each other last, and, obviously, it’s been a dang sad two weeks, but since I’m such a lazy procrastinator, I never managed to write a post where Maddox was telling his fIANCEE that he would be coming through town, so here we are. 

Maddox has come through town, bringing along all his lovely band folks with him, and all that good stuff, even though he’s already informed them that, yet again, they better stay out of his business while he’s with his lady, because he’s got more important things to worry about than some speakERS that needed moving around. That more important thing is his FIANCEE. And, yes, that is how he keeps addressing her to everyone in the band scene. Lucy, my FIANCEE. My FIANCEE is coming around, guys. Ah, look. Here comes my FIANCEE. 

Everyone hates to hear him talk even more now. 

Love my idiot son. 

But, here we go. Yes, Maddox is in town, and Lucy’s on top of the world, because two weeks felt like an eternity, and their ‘hello’ was about ten times longer than their ‘goodbye’, much to Corey’s discontent, but, as Maddox told her, her ‘opinion doesn’t matter. bye.’. 

So,  the children have been out-and-about, and they’ve had a great time, catching up, laughin’, smoochin’, probably more than smoochin’. Who am I to say what they’ve gotten up to? I am no one. 

But they’re at the venue, now, and I’m guessing that Stove and Sage are coming to whatever show is happening tonight (Sage is coming with a frown, because she doesn’t want to engage with the show hooligans, but she’s gonna be S U P P O R T I V E.), but it’s only still slightly early, so they aren’t there yet. There have been people milling around, trying to get things ready, etc. etc., and people could easily slip by without anyone else noticing, though, so no one could be too sure that Stage wasn’t already here, and they’d just gotten lost in a sea of roadies. 

Maddox and Lucy weren’t paying that much attention anyway. Nope. They figured Stage would text one of them once they arrived, so they were huddled in a corner together, probably doing some canoodling of some sort. Why aren’t they canoodling backstage? Well, that’s a good question. One that I won’t answer. Sorry to tell you. 

I’m here to tell you, that they’ve been canoodling long enough that the doors are open now, and Maddox should definitely be backstage at this point, as per what he was instructed by Corey, but he only half-heard her because of the canoodling that was going on. 

buT, again, very close to time for this thing to start, so Lucy figures, hey, I need to go to the bathroom or something before curTAIN, sO--. She’s just gonna get up from Canoodle Corner without even trying to tell Maddox where she’s going, tbh.]

Hey-- where are you going?? [Confused at this fact of just getting up without saying anything. Don’t play him like that, Luce.]

The bathroom??

Oh. [He gets up from Canoodle Corner too.] I’ll go with you~~.

No you won’t, crazy. You’ve gotta get backstage.

I still have time. [:C]

Corey’s gonna end up murdering you, me, or both of us if you keep neglecting your duties~. 

I’ll fight her. 

[A sigh.] So clingy~~~.

I’m not clinging nearly as much as I could be.

I’m so sorry I have to miss that. 

You won’t have to if I sneak to the bathroom with you~.

Trying to stop you from doing what you want to do is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube, so just come on. [She’s rolling her eyes in a totally loving way at her dumb future husband.]

Scooooore.

[Off they go to the bathroom, or, they’re trying their best to wade through all the people, but they do finally make it out into the outer area where there’s the entrance to the bathrooms, and the crowd out here had started to thin out, for sho, but there were still a few people around. 

And, right before the kiddos could get into the the bathroom door, there is a calling of Lucy’s name. Just Lucy’s name, and that was rather weird because the only people that would know Lucy here weren’t here yet, that she knew of, and the voice sounded like neither Stove, nor Sage. 

Both she and (an annoyed) Maddox turn around, and oh buddy, you’ll never guess who it is. Because Lucy’s eyes have definitely gone wide.]

Hayden?!

Hayden??

[Okay, so Hayden’s been approaching, and he’s in front of them, and he’s looking weary af, but he’s looking.] I know-- I should probably... explain why I’m back here...

A better question is why are you here here?

[It’s safe to mention Maddox is probably shaking over there next to Lucy. A nice hard shake. Like he’s holding back, you might say.] It’s about my... brother that I told you about. [A look to Maddox.] And I figured I should... probably clear some things up.

I’ll fucking say.

[Lucy’d never heard him sound that pISSED at one individual before. Not even herself the last time that she was at his show, ya feel?] Maddox--. [It’s like a warn of ‘not here, please’.]

No, I mean, he’s right, Lucy. I-I kissed you, so--... [Lucy can feel Maddox tense beside her oh dear.] I just thought she was such a great girl, I-- couldn’t help myself.

You knew she had a boyfriend, you little shit. [There is no gif in existence to show how pissed he is, so just use your imagination.]

I did know. And I didn’t care, because I, you know, kinda liked her, but then I--...

OH. Didn’t care? Of course you didn’t care. Holy shit. I cannot listen to you for one more second. [HERE WE GO.]

MADDOX. STOP. [Lucy has to interject because there are STILL PEOPLE OUT HERE.]

No, I-I deserved that.

[Maddox honestly has him by the shirt rn.] See? He knows he had it coming. So tell me why I shouldn’t push his shit in??

Because he’s sixteen, and I don’t want you getting fucking arrested. That’s why!

Honestly, Luce, it’d be fucking worth it.

DON’T SAY THAT.

Look, just-- let me explain things first, and then you can beat my ass, okay?

I’ll hold you to that. [Has he let go of his shirt? Nope.]

Lucy already knows this part-- I was in town because I’d never met my dad, but I found out that he had another kid-- a son-- someone who lived in this town. I came here to try to find him, but I couldn’t. I went to his address, and all I found there was some grumpy-ass lady. So, I went home after I kissed Lucy. [Maddox’s grip gets tighter on him, tbh, because he doesn’t even like to hear that sentence uttered.] But what I found out... that same night was that... my brother was out of town then. He was out of town... with his band.

[I don’t think Maddox has quite grasped what he’s saying, mainly because he’s too busy steaming from the ears to actually listen with them. Tbh, he’s just waiting for Horchata to finish so that he can make good on beating his ass. 

However, Lucy was listening. And Lucy’s definitely grasped what he’s saying. Her jaw is almost to the floor.] Oh my god...

Lucy never mentioned your name when she talked about you... Not until after...  And when she said your name was Maddox...

Are you... saying... Maddox is the brother you’ve been trying to find? 

... Yeah.

Bullshit. You’re just trying to save your own ass.

[To Lucy.] You never told me his last name, right? You just called him Maddox. [Lucy nods. He turns back to Maddox.] Your name is Maddox Bravo. You’re nineteen years old, you were born on May 22nd, your mother’s name is Kelly, and you have no siblings-- other than me.

[Maddox is EVER SO SLIGHTLY SHOOK, but this news does not make him any less murderous.] What? And this is just supposed to be some happy family reunion??? I’m just supposed to drop the fact that you kissed my fucking girlfriend because you’re my brother??? Don’t you think that bit of information makes it a hundred times fucking worse???

If I had known she was your girlfriend, I would’ve never done it in the first place, alright? She said her boyfriend’s name was Maddox, and I bolted. I’m not a fucking bad guy, okay? I just-- I wouldn’t go around kissing my brother’s girlfriend.

... Why the hell did you come here?

To meet you? To talk?

What did you think would happen? That we’d become best friends, and start having family dinner together every weekend??

No, I expected you to beat the shit out of me. 

Hey, maybe we are related, since you’ve read my fucking mind. [He’s shook the kid just a little bit, and suddenly, fiancee’s got her hands on his shoulders.]

Maddox, don’t.

Like hell ‘don’t’, Lucy.

I’m sorry for kissing your girlfriend. I would never even try again. The only reason I even came back was to clear the air. And to let you know the truth.

Well, I don’t give a shit about the truth, so...

You know it now whether you give a shit or not.

[Maybe Lucy’s actually succeeded in pulling this steaming boy away just a bit. Maybe she’s gotten his hands off Horchata, and she’s trying to get him backstage before Maddox can do anything else, but honestly, Lucy, Maddox is like a foot taller than you, and he can swerve outta your grip as easily as anything, SO.]

And that’s for coming here and reminding me that your stupid ass shit actually happened!

MADDOX. That was SO fucking unnecessary. [Her hands are back on him immediately, tbh. They’re right on his shoulders.]

I. Don’t. Care. 

[Alas, in the distance, someone’s manager has finally caught up.] BravO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? SHOWTIME’S IN LIKE FIVE MINUTES. GET YOUR ASS BACKSTAGE.

[His jaw is clenched tight, and he shakes Lucy’s hands off his shoulders, and there’s one final look to that cinnamon-y half-brother of his.] Just... stay the fuck away from me and Lucy. [And off he goes to follow his lovely manager.]

[And there is Cinnamon Rice standing there, probably wiping blood away, I’d bet, and Lucy’s just looking at him like ‘sweet fuCK’.]

Don’t look at me like that.

Why the hell would you try to casually introduce yourself as his brother??

Just a crazy guy, I guess~. [Saaaar~casm~.]

You should’ve just left it alone. 

If you knew you had a sibling-- something you’ve kinda wanted your whole life, wouldn’t you take a chance at it?

I’d recommend listening to him. I’d rather not have to bail him out of jail for assault. 

... Of all the girls I have to run into at the mall... it has to be his fucking girlfriend.

[Lucy doesn’t know how to respond to that. She’s not even sure how this situation makes her feEL, because YIKES, how Maddox had just walked away from here. OH BOY.

But, luckily, she doesn’t have to respond, because there’s the familiar voices she’d been waiting for, calling her out. Hi, Stage.]

Luce, there you are. You would not believe the traffic. We got here just in time. Are you ready to go inside? 

Uh, yeah. Let’s go.

[There’s a look of confusion from Stove, and don’t think Maddox didn’t bring the Horchata situation to him when he found out about it, so maybe he’s raising an eyebrow, but in they go, and showtime. Yay. Okay. That’s it for now.]
