[ID: Eleven screencaps from Taskmaster. The studio screen shows a pair of shoes. The shoes contain a photo and a small speaker, and are standing on two flat fish. Andy Zaltzman says, "Obviously a shoe has a sole, but the soles of the shoes are Dover soles... there's a speaker in the lower of the two shoes. It's programmed to play only soul music, the likes of James Brown and Aretha Franklin, Bananarama. There's a picture of the sun in Spain, or sol, uh, as it's also known..." Greg Davies interrupts, "I'm sorry, d...d...?" Andy, who's wearing a dramatic orange velvet robe, says, "I've not finished yet, Greg. But also, harnessing the power of the occult as a wizard, I also fixed into the shoes the soul of your late great-great-great uncle Brian." End ID.]

Teenage Dirtbag - Eddie Munson
A/N: well, this keeps on working so far 😂😂😂 here's Eddie's story! and then is full Marauders, James, then Remus, and then Sirius! I hope you guys like it!
Request - lunamadhatter99 asked: I do have a request, my friend! I'm so happy requests are open😍 Anyway: Henderson!Reader x either Steve or Eddie (whoever works better for you), where the reader is very quiet, not necessarily shy, but still. She's targeted by the jocks too because she's the "loser" sister, you know, and maybe one day, one of their pranks went too far and she's very upset about it (maybe is the process a special possession of hers). Every time she gets bullied, Steve/Eddie helps her comfort her, especially because she doesn't want to tell his little brother, who thinks she is friends with them... does it make sense? I don't know, I'm sorry 😂👋
Warnings: mentions of sex; Billy being an asshole (also, this is kinda between s3 and 4 and Billy didn't die so Jason and Andy are his dumb friends I hope this makes sense) reader is kind of mean to Dustin (not really, she's just grumpy and a loner instead of shy, kind of like Kat in 10TIHAY)
Disclaimer: I don’t own Stranger Things :) gif isn’t mine :D
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Teenage Dirtbag
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
“DUSTIN! Hurry up! Steve is gonna be here any second! We’re gonna be late!” you smashed your hand against the bathroom door, yelling for your brother to get ready. You had been feeling anxious all day. Something inside you told you that today might not be a good day and, as much as you tried not to, you took it out on Dustin.
“I’m coming! Geez, calm down!”
You rolled your eyes and walked over to the kitchen to finish your coffee and wash the dishes but you tripped over a bag full of garbage.
“Ugh! Dustin!” you yelled as he walked over to you.
“What? What did I do now?”
“The trash is your chore” you complained, grabbing the bag and handing it to him. “When I say take out the trash, I mean outside of the house. To the trashcan!”
“Maybe you can show me for next time” he laughed.
“Maybe I can give your Nintendo to goodwill” you smirked back, erasing the smirk off his face.
“Fine, sorry” he said, grabbing the bag and going outside.
“Let’s go!” you said as soon as you heard Steve’s car parking on your driveway.
“Wait, where’s lunch?”
“Oh, shit!” you said, grabbing some of the money you left near the door in case Dustin needed to order food. “Here” you said, grabbing $10 for yourself and giving Dustin $5.
“Why do you get $10 and I get $5?” Dustin complained.
“Take out the freaking trash!” you replied, mocking his exact same tone.
“Good morning, Hendersons!” Steve smiled as you got in the front and Dustin got in the back.
“Thanks for the ride, Steve” you said. “Robin still out of town?” you asked, confused to not see her there already.
“Yeah, she’s coming back next week-”
“Why are we even going this early? School doesn’t start for another hour!” Dustin asked on the ride to school. “And why do you always ride shotgun?”
“Because I’m Steve’s favorite Henderson” you smirked. “And Steve has an early shift, so I wasn’t going to make him wait for us” you explained. “Plus, I have to get together with Nancy for something about the school paper” you informed him.
“Well, I could have taken my bike-”
“Just say thank you, Dustin!”
“Thank you” he said, rolling his eyes a little.
“Hey, aren’t those your old friends?” Dustin asked as Steve drove into the parking lot. You looked to where he was pointing to see the basketball players hanging outside the school with some of the cheerleaders.
“No” both you and Steve replied at the same time.
“Are you sure?” Dustin asked, confused. He recognized some of them, although he had noticed you never talked to them anymore.
“I’m sure” you said, rolling your eyes. “Just… stay away from them, okay?”
“Okay” he said, unconvinced. “Um, are we having movie night?” he asked Steve.
“Yeah, my house” he nodded.
“Cool. I think we’re going to Mike’s after school, so I’ll see you there” he told them.
“Okay” you nodded. Dustin started opening his door but you stopped him. “Dusty” you said, making him look confused at you. You rarely called him that anymore. “Nothing… I’ll see you at Steve’s” you told him and he nodded before he got out.
You saw him make his way over to Mike, Will, Lucas, Max, and El and you heard him complain about you and all of them saying how you used to be fun and happy all the time. You let out a sigh of frustration, throwing your head back on the chair.
“You know, you could just… tell him” Steve shrugged.
“I’m good” you told him.
“Dustin’s just worried about you” he insisted. “And to be honest, so am I-”
“Harrington, I know my brother’s your best friend now-”
“That’s not true” he glared at you.
“But you were my friend first and you promised we wouldn’t discuss this with Dustin” you told him.
“I’m just… a little confused, okay? Why did you all of the sudden stop hanging out with them like, what, a year ago?”
“You did too!” you argued.
“Well, yeah, because they’re assholes-”
“Exactly” you told him.
“But, now you’re here alone, because I graduated, I just don’t want you to be alone-”
“I’m fine on my own” you shrugged. “Plus… Eddie’s my friend-”
“Oh, right… Munson. That’s another thing. I know something happened last Halloween, okay? You mysteriously stop hanging out with all of our friends, you started wearing darker clothes, darker makeup and you start hanging around with Eddie, the freak, Munson-”
“I told you to stop calling him that” you glared at him.
“Which you also hide from Dustin-”
“Well, I just don’t want him to think that the only reason he and his friends are in Hellfire is because I asked Eddie to look after them-”
“But you did-”
“Steve, it is too early in the morning to have this discussion” you said, rubbing your temple.
“Fine… I’ll drop it” he said. “For now” he added, making you glare at him a little. “You working today?”
“No, it’s my day off” you informed him.
“Cool, want me to pick you up after work?”
“You sure it’s not too much trouble?”
“Nah, you’re my favorite Henderson after all” he smirked.
“I knew it!” you said, kissing his cheek before you opened the door. “See you later, Stevie” you said.
“Have a good day, kid” he waved at you.
He noticed you walking close to the group of jocks and they yelled something at you but you simply flipped them off and kept walking. Steve felt a bit uneasy about it but decided he would ask you about it when he picked you up. Sooner or later, you had to talk to him.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
“Hey, princess” you felt a small smile, trying to contain the butterflies you felt in your stomach when you heard that voice. You turned around to see Eddie smiling at you.
“Munson, I thought you were standing me up today” you said as he sat at your usual table in the woods, past the bleachers.
“Wouldn’t dream of it, love” he said, sitting in front of you. “What do you got for me today?”
“I forgot to make lunch, so I had to grab something from the vending machine” you said, putting your cigarette out. “So, pretzels, or Reeses Pieces?”
“You just… happened to pick my two favorite things?” he smirked. “If I didn’t know any better, Henderson, I would think you like me” he mocked you.
“Uh-huh, is that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? And two cokes?” your sked, looking at his bag.
“Grape jelly. Your favorite” he winked at you.
“Huh, if I didn’t know any better, Munson, I would think you like me” you returned the smirk.
“Wanna split it?” he asked and you nodded as you split the three things between the two of you. “So, what are you working on?” he asked, about to grab your sketchbook.
“Nothing!” you quickly said, putting it away before he could get it.
“Oh, that doesn’t sound suspicious at all” he mocked you. “Come on, show me!”
“It’s just… a work in progress” you told him. “It’s not finished yet” you insisted.
“Fine, be all mysterious” he chuckled. “Hey, did you get new colored pencils?” he asked, grabbing one of them.
“Oh, um… y-yeah” you said nervously. “There was a discount at the store where I work and-”
“Really?” he raised his eyebrow at you. “Or were your old ones… broken?”
“Um… there may have been an… incident-”
“Who?” he asked, his tone turning angry.
“It doesn’t matter, Eddie-”
“Yes, it does! Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because I don’t want you to get into a fight and not graduate with me this year” you told him, making him laugh just barely. “Look, it’s fine. I really did get a discount and…” you said, looking through your bag. “I got markers too” you smiled brightly at him. “Look!”
You stood from your place and sat down on the table with your feet on the bench next to Eddie. You grabbed his hand and placed it on your knee, which was not an uncommon thing for you to do whenever you drew something on him but he felt his cheeks blushing. You quickly drew a small doodle of the Hellfire symbol using different colors and you smiled when you were done, showing it to him. Eddie rarely get to see that smile on you and he loved it when it happened.
“Holy shit!” he smiled, looking down at his hand. It looked cooler than the one in his shirt.
“Do you like it?” you asked, bashfully.
“I love it, princess! This is amazing!” he said, looking back at you. “You’re amazing” he smiled.
“Um, thanks” you said, looking down at his hand and feeling your cheeks burn. You could not ignore the butterflies in your stomach any longer. You grabbed his hand and stroked your thumb against your new drawing. “Uh, a-actually, what I didn’t want to show you is um… kind of… a surprise…” you admitted, not facing him.
You saw Eddie’s hand untangle from yours and make its way up to your chin, lifting your head gently and making you look into his beautiful, chocolate-brown eyes.
“A surprise?” he asked, smiling brightly. You simply nodded, unable to form any words by the way he was looking at you. “What is it?”
“If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise!” you chuckled. “I just want to finish it before I show it to you” you told him.
“Okay, fine” he said, as his hand suddenly found its way back to yours and you started playing with his rings. “But… you promise you’ll show it to me when it’s done?”
“I promise. I mean, it’s kind of… for you” you told him.
“Really?” he asked, and you nodded.
“Yeah, it’s kind of… a thank you” you admitted. “For everything” you added. “Even for my brother and his friends. Thanks for letting them in Hellfire” you told him. “I know they're a bit weird but… I love them and I'm happy they found someone like you” you said.
“My pleasure, princess” he told you. “They’re cool kids” he chuckled. “Especially Dustin” he added. “Although he keeps asking me why I always have different doodles all over me” he chuckled.
“Yeah, he’s pretty smart” you laughed too. “I don’t think it’ll be long before he realizes about us” you said, without really thinking. “I m-mean uh-”
“Us?” Eddie smirked. “And exactly what would he realize?” he asked, getting up and towering a little over you, placing his hands on both your sides. “That we’re friends?” he asked, with the same smirk still plastered on his face.
“Y-yeah, I guess” you said innocently.
“Would he mind?”
“Um- I don’t think so, I just… don’t want him to think that you’re only his friend b-because of me” you explained.
“Oh, he wouldn’t think that” he assured you, as he gently brushed your hair away from your face. “And… what if he thinks there’s something else between us?”
“Is there?” you asked, as you felt him getting closer. And then the bell rang. The stupid bell rang. “Fuck!”
“Ignore that” he pleaded.
“No! We have a Math test” you said, pushing him away and gathering all of your things. “I told you, Eddie, you’re graduating this year, with me. Let’s go!” you threatened him.
“You’re killing me, sweetheart” he said, as you pulled him with you but he was stronger and he pulled you back. “To be continued?” he smirked.
For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, you smiled. It was a different smile, one that you didn’t think you had in you anymore and you could see Eddie noticed it. You leaned in and kissed his cheek.
“To be continued, Munson” you said, before you started pulling him towards the school despite his protests.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
You were waiting in the parking lot for Steve. As much as you wanted, you were not able to be with Eddie alone the rest of the day. You were hoping to catch him at the end but, as a surprise to no one, he got detention, so here you were.
“Well, if it isn’t my lucky day?”
You cursed under your breath, silently begging for Steve’s car to appear any moment now. But no such luck.
“Hargrove” you sighed. “Oh, if it isn’t Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum” you smirked at Jason and Andy, standing with Billy.
“Fancy meeting you here, babe” Billy smirked at you.
“Can’t say the same” you said, trying to walk away but he stepped in front of you. “What do you want, Hargrove?”
“See, I have a question for you” he said. “Andy here, says he saw you coming out of those woods with Eddie fucking Munson” he said, getting closer to you and making you take a step back. “Is that true?”
“I fail to see how that’s any of your business, really” you glared at him.
“Well, for starters, I think Munson can do better” he said, making Andy and Jason laugh.
“Lovely” you rolled your eyes, trying to walk away again but they blocked your way.
“Aw, did I strike a nerve there? Do you have a crush on Munson?” he mocked you.
“Just, leave me alone, Billy-” you said, trying to leave but, you felt your sketchbook being taken from you.
“Oh, what is this?” Jason asked, opening the sketchbook. “Do you write your love letters to that freak here?” he laughed.
“Give that back!” you said, trying to get it back from him.
“Oh, it’s even better than that!” he said, showing your sketches to Billy and Andy who started laughing.
“Give me that!” you said as he tossed it to Billy.
“Looks like you’re a bit obsessed with him, babe” he said, looking at your drawings. “I’m guessing you wouldn’t want anything to happen to this, would you?” he said, tearing a few pages apart.
“Billy, give it back!” you yelled, but he pushed you back, making you fall to the ground, your hands aching when they hit the pavement.
“Whoops, clumsy me” he said, tossing your sketchbook on a nearby water puddle.
“Stop it!” you said, getting up and trying to get to it but Andy pushed you away.
“HEY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?”
“You want something, freak?” Jason yelled, smirking.
“Oh, speak of the devil” Billy smirked as Eddie approached all of you.
“Get the fuck away from her” he said, making his way over to Billy.
“Why don’t you keep walking and mind your business, freak?”
“You know, I gotta say, even for you, it’s pretty low, three guys against one girl” he smirked, erasing Billy’s.
“You really think it’s worth it? Standing up for that slut-?”
Before Billy could go on, Eddie quickly punched him in the face.
“Eddie!”
“You’re dead, freak!” Jason said, punching Eddie back while Billy got up, laughing.
“Looks, like you got some fire in you, Munson!” he yelled before he punched him too.
“Eddie!” you yelled, trying to get to him but Andy stopped you. “Stop it!”
“You having fun, Munson?” Billy smirked as he landed punches on Eddie before he grabbed him by his jacket. “No one tells me what to do!” he said before he pushed him to the ground again. He then threw himself at Eddie and started landing punch after punch, like a madman. The last time you had seen Billy like this was when he fought Steve and it shook you to your core.
“STOP IT! BILLY, STOP!”
“You really think you traded up, babe?” he smirked, looking at you. “He’s even worse than Harrington!”
“STOP IT, PLEASE!” you said, as tears started welling up in your eyes.
“Aw, you gonna cry, princess?” he said, mocking Eddie’s voice with the last word.
As if your prayers were finally answered, a car reeled in front of you, almost hitting Jason.
“What the fuck, Harrington?” he asked as Steve got out of the car.
“What the fuck is going on here?”
“Come join the party, Harrington” Billy smirked at him, finally letting go of Eddie. “Ready for round two?”
“Yeah, let me just get my friend here” Steve smirked, grabbing his bat out.
“Dude, what the fuck?” Andy said, letting go of you, and slowly walking away with Jason. You quickly ran over to Eddie, pushing Billy aside.
“Ready to go, Hargrove?” Steve said, walking closer to him as he and the other two stepped away.
“You know what? She’s not even fucking worth it” Billy said, throwing one last glare at you. “Let’s just go” he told Jason and Andy as they walked away.
“Eddie! Oh my God, Eddie! Can you hear me?”
“Do I have a concussion or did King Steve Harrington just save my ass?”
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
“Ouch!”
“Sorry, I’m sorry” you apologized, taking the cotton ball away.
You were now in Steve’s kitchen, cleaning Eddie up. You carefully pulled his hair up in a messy bun with your scrunchie so you could see him better. You placed your hand softly on his cheek and your heart broke seeing a big purple bruise printed on his left eye. He looked at you with his huge, deep brown puppy eyes and you had to take a deep breath to not lose it right there because you knew he needed you.
“You okay?” Eddie asked, worriedly.
“M-me? You’re asking if I’m okay? Eddie, Billy and Jason just beat the shit out of you, and you’re asking if I’m okay?”
“First of all, I’d like to think that I handled that with dignity. Secondly, you fell to the ground and that idiot Andy was hurting you” he said, grabbing your hand and tracing his thumb gently on the bruises forming in your arms where Andy grabbed you.
“I’m really sorry, Eddie” you said, coming out in a whisper and tracing your thumb against the now fading drawing you made earlier on his hand. A small tear fell down your cheek and Eddie quickly wiped it away before he cupped your cheek.
“Princess, you have nothing to be sorry for” he assured you.
“Yes, I do! You wouldn’t have gotten hurt if it wasn’t for me” you insisted.
“Hey” he said, pulling you closer to him. “I would do it all over again, love” he smiled at you.
“Hey, man” Steve said, coming into the kitchen and making you and Eddie jump apart. “Uh, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I got some clean clothes for you” he said offering Eddie a shirt and some sweatpants.
“Thanks, man” Eddie smiled, grabbing the clothes from him. “I’m uh- gonna go change and I’ll get out of your way-”
“We’re having movie night” Steve blurted out of the sudden. “We’re ordering pizza and Dustin, Mike, and the rest are coming over. If you’d like to stay” he offered.
“Oh, I wouldn’t want to intrude, man-”
“You’re not intruding. It’s the least I can do after you got hit for me” you told him.
“You keep bruising my ego, Henderson” he smirked at you. “What are we watching?” Eddie asked, interested.
“Gremlins” you told him.
“Seriously?” he asked, raising his eyebrow at Steve.
“Don’t look at me, man. It was her turn to choose the movie!” he said pointing at you.
“Shut up, you two. Gremlins is an awesome movie!”
“Isn’t that what you call your brother and his friends?” Eddie laughed. “I didn’t know that was your favorite movie, princess” he said. “Well, how can I say no to that masterpiece and pizza, I really can’t” he said, leaving the kitchen.
“So…” Steve started.
“So?”
“Are we going to talk about what happened today or are we just going to pretend nothing happened?”
“What do you want me to say?”
“Well, you can choose between telling me why your sketchbook has smudgy drawings of Eddie” he said, opening your wet, torn, destroyed sketchbook. “Or why Hargrove and his friends were beating the shit out of him in the parking lot” he added.
“Steve, I don’t want to talk about it-”
“Well, tough. Look, we’ve been friends for a very long time now. I told you why I stopped talking to Tommy and Carol and all of our friends but you never told me why you did and somehow Munson knows!” he argued. “I get that you don’t tell Dustin everything because you want to protect him but what is so horrible that you couldn’t tell me?”
“You don’t want to know-”
“Yes, I do! You’re my best friend! You can tell me anything!”
“You’re gonna hate me!”
“What? No! I swear, okay? Nothing you say will make me hate you! We’ve been through enough shit that you should know that already-”
“I slept with Billy!” you blurted out.
“W-what?” Steve asked, hoping he hadn’t heard you right.
“What?” another voice asked, from another side of the kitchen. Dustin.
“Oh, you have to be fucking kidding me!” you said, feeling like you were going to throw up. “What are you doing here?”
“We all just got here, I was looking for you” he said, walking closer to you and Steve. “You slept with Billy Hargrove, what the fuck is wrong with you?”
“Dustin!” Steve warned.
“You know what? I don’t want to deal with this right now” you said, grabbing your damped sketchbook and walking out of the house to Steve’s backyard. Dustin was about to follow you but Steve stopped him.
“Look, I get that you’re upset but you’re not going out there if you’re only going to upset your sister more. She had a hard day-”
“Well, how would I know that, Steve? She doesn’t talk to me!”
“What’s with all the yelling?” Eddie said, coming back into the kitchen.
“Eddie? What are you doing here?” Dustin asked confused. “What the fuck happened to you?”
“Uh- I am…” he looked at Steve, unsure as to what to say.
“Okay, what the fuck is going on? And what are you two and my sister hiding from me?”
“We’re not hiding anything from you. You need to calm down and we can go sort this out, okay?”
“Fine” Dustin said, unconvinced.
“You promise you won’t snap at her like you just did” Steve glared at him a little.
“Okay” he sighed, rolling his eyes. The three of them walked outside to find you sitting on one of Steve’s pool chairs. Steve and Eddie sat next to you and Dustin sat on the edge of the one you were sitting in. “Uh, hey” he said, nervously. “Um-” he continued when both Steve and Eddie glared at him. “I’m sorry I snapped at you earlier” he muttered.
“It’s fine, Dusty” you said, sitting up and hugging your legs to you.
“Look, Dustin and I are just worried about you” Steve continued. “We don’t want to push you or anything, we just… want to know what’s going on with you” he added. You looked up at Eddie and he softly nodded at you. He really wanted to hold your hand but he figured Dustin might freak out about it too.
“Um…” you took a deep breath. “Look, I know that… I’ve kind of been pulling away” you started. “And I’m sorry, it’s just…” you sighed. “It was a stupid mistake and I didn’t want either one of you to hate me” you admitted.
“What- uh, when?” Dustin stuttered. “Um, no, y-you go” he said.
“It just happened once” you informed them.
“At… last year’s Halloween party?” Steve guessed and you nodded.
“Look, I was… really drunk and, dad had just left and… mom was kind of a mess and… I don’t know, I guess I was too” you said, sadly.
“Wait, I was there that night, why didn’t you tell me anything?” Steve asked, confused.
“You had your own shit going on” you reminded him. “With Nancy” you added. “So, after you left I got drunker and… then I don’t know, Billy was just there and… it happened” you sighed. “And after I felt so awful” you told them. “When I came down I ran into Eddie and he saw I was upset” you explained. “He drove me home and… he stayed with me and he made sure I was okay” you smiled. “That’s how we became friends-”
“You two are friends?” Dustin asked. “I knew I recognized your doodles” he said, looking at the metalhead.
“Sorry I didn’t tell you” you told Dustin. “I just… didn’t want to get into the whole thing and… it’s not really the conversation you have with your little brother” you admitted.
“I get that but… we used to talk about everything” Dustin said, sadly. “We were always kind of a team and for the past year it just felt like… you hated me” he said.
“Dusty” you said, sitting closer to him and hugging him. “I could never hate you” you assured him. “I am so sorry I pushed you away, I was just… so embarrassed about what happened and, I kind of wanted to forget the whole thing and I guess that in the midst of it all I just… ended up pushing everyone away” you explained.
“So, what happened today?” Dustin asked, confused.
“Well, I was waiting for Steve to pick me up and Billy and his friends just started being idiots” you told him. “Eddie saw and tried to help me” you continued. “And then Steve got there with his bat and they went away” you told him.
“So, that’s why you tell me to stay away from them? I mean, I always knew Billy was a dick but… all of your friends?”
“Well, yeah. I told Billy that if he ever said a word about what happened to anyone, I’d tell everyone he cried like a bitch and he had a small dick” you said, making the three of them laugh a little. “And then, either I just stopped talking to them or they would stop talking to me and… it wasn’t just Billy, you know? You were right” you said, looking at Steve. “They were all just… assholes” you admitted.
“I could have told you that a long time ago” Eddie chuckled.
“You okay?” Dustin asked you.
“Yeah” you smiled. “I’m sorry… about… everything” you told him. “Both of you” you said, looking at Steve.
“Don’t worry” Dustin smiled at you. “I love you dumb-dumb” he said, putting his fist so you would bump it.
“Love you too, dumb-dumb” you smiled back and bumped his fist. “No more lies” you promised and he nodded, smiling.
“It’s fine” Steve said, getting up and kissing your head. “C’mon little Henderson, let’s go set everything up” Steve said, patting Dustin on his back.
“Wait, why do I have to go?” he complained, still getting up.
“Just be nice to your sister, man, she’s been through a lot” Steve complained.
“What about me? I have been through a lot too!” he said, dramatically as they went inside, leaving you and Eddie alone.
“Hey” you smiled back at Eddie.
“Hi, princess” he said, moving over to take Dustin’s place in front of you. “How are you feeling?”
“Not so bad” you sighed. “I still would have preferred not to discuss my sex life with my little brother but… it is what it is” you chuckled.
“Sorry about your sketchbook, love” he said, looking at it on the floor.
“It’s okay” you sighed, going through the damped pages. “It just… might take me a little longer to finish your surprise now” you said, sadly.
“Wait, is that… is that me?” he asked, feeling his heart flutter.
“It… was supposed to be” you told him. “I mean, your D&D character” you muttered. “I… wanted to um… I was trying to get it right and I thought you m-might like it-”
“It’s perfect, princess” he smiled at you.
“It’s ruined, Eddie” you chuckled.
“Well, then I guess I need to get you another sketchbook, love” he said, grabbing it from you.
“You don’t have to get me one, Eddie” you smiled as he scootched closer to you.
“Jesus, Henderson would you just let me do something nice for you” he smiled, cupping your cheek with his hand.
“You do nothing but nice things for me, Munson” you smiled.
“What can I say? You bring out the best in me, sweetheart” he smiled back.
“Well, in that case, maybe you can do one more nice thing for me” you said, pulling him by his shirt, well, Steve’s shirt and he pulled you gently, brushing his thumb against your cheek.
“Gladly, princess” he said, smiling before he finally connected his lips with yours. He felt you smiling against his lips as you started deepening the kiss before you were rudely interrupted.
“Hey guys, pizza’s here- what the fuck?” you jumped apart when you heard Dustin’s voice again, with Lucas, Will, and Max standing next to him, trying not to laugh. “You two are together? I thought there were no more lies!”
“Would you believe me that this literally just happened, Henderson?”
The End

Tiny little wolfstar piece to try and get over my writers block.
"Moony..." Sirius started, stopping in front of Remus, who was sitting in James' back garden, book in one hand. At the sound of Sirius' voice, he glanced up, warm smile already in place. Sirius smiled back, dropping down next to him on the grass. "I, uh..." Anxiety waved over him, then. "I have something to tell you. Well, show you."
Remus' smile faded, like he could feel Sirius' nerves radiating off him. He probably could, Remus was the only one who would do that.
"What's going on, is everything okay?"
"Well, I- just... promise me you won't be angry." Remus laughed lightly, reaching out to grab Sirius' hand and squeezing it once.
"Oh God, what have you done?" He asked easily.
"It's... a long story."
A hint of a frown started to appear, then. Sirius knew he just needed to get on with it, but he was nervous! He honestly had no clue how Remus would react, but he had a feeling that Remus was started to overblow the situation in his head.
"Sirius-?"
"Not that it's bad! Well, I don't think it's bad, but I guess- you might think it's... I don't know."
"Love, you're rambling." Remus said gently, somehow calm through his panic. "Just tell me. Surely it can't be that bad, I mean... you haven't killed anyone, have you-?"
"I got a tattoo." Sirius said in a rush, eyes fixing on their joined hands. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Remus freeze. He was right, though. Just getting it out helped him get his head together, think. "Last week, when I went to visit Andy. Turns out she can do them, so I got one."
Remus nodded, encouraging Sirius to tear his eyes away from their joined hands and up to Remus' face. So far, so good, Remus had shot him a reassuring smile.
"If it makes you happy, then I'm happy." He answered with a shrug. Warmth shot through Sirius, but it wasn't over, he needed to know the rest.
"Let me just- I'll show you, hold on." Sirius added, pulling his hand from Remus' and lifting his sleeve. He flipped his right forearm and showed Remus the tattoo, watching in bated breath as Remus' eyes widened.
"Oh my god. You-"
Sirius turned to the static tattoo on his arm, a small, silhouetted wolf and dog, sat side by side, leaning against one another.
"Hold on, there's more." With that, he ran his fingertips gently over the two, watching as they sprung to life, the wolf chasing the dog up his arm and out of sight. After a few moments, they ran back down, before dropping to a stroll, walking together.
"Sirius..." Remus trailed off, shock laced through his voice, as Sirius let his eyes travel back to him. Sirius didn't expect there to be tears in his eyes. "You- why would you...?"
"Oh, fuck, Moony, I'm sorry. I didn't- I can- I didn't mean to upset you." Sirius exhaled quickly, running an anxious hand through his hair.
"That's permanent. It's on you forever. It's permanent, Padfoot." Remus breathed, stunned, eyes darting over Sirius' face.
"...I know." Sirius answered, a little perplexed.
"You- you got it put on your skin permanently." He said again, and Sirius was really confused, at this point.
"Yeah, I did."
"That's us. You got us tattooed. You and me." Sirius nodded.
"Are you okay?" Sirius asked, concerned.
Finally, after what seemed like years, Remus' eyes settled on Sirius'.
"...why?" Remus asked softly, eyes searching.
"...because I wanted to." Sirius said first, trying to find the words for a more substantial answer. "Because it's us. I love you, I wanted it to be there forever. For everyone to see, but only us to know, I guess." He finished calmly, with a shrug.
Remus blinked, clearly taken aback by the response, before finally, finally leaning in and kissing him.
"I love it." Remus murmured against Sirius lips. All of the tension finally dropped from his body, dropping his head onto Remus' shoulder as Remus, arm found its way around Sirius' waist.
"Oh, thank fuck." He said with a relieved sigh, drawing a laugh out of Remus. "Don't do that! You had me bloody terrified!"
"Sorry, love."
"No, don't be, I'm glad you like it." And then, "I was thinking we could get matching ones, next." He added with a sharp eyebrow raise and a grin.

LETTERMAN
020; yes, and
previous chapter | next chapter | masterlist
summary: the one where ej and andy realise that there may be some romantic feelings between them that hadn't been there before, or had they? the new year test this revelation
wordcount: 1.4k
Andy scoffed as she leaned over Carlos' shoulder along with the rest of the group, watching the North High advertisement for Beauty and The Beast on his phone.
"Thats the bitch Lily from out auditions," Andy said, shaking her head at the screen.
"You mean perfect pitch, looks like an actual disney princess, mean girl Lily," Ashlyn said, pacing back and forth.
Miss Jenn walked, in looking at them, "Thank you for coming so quickly on a Saturday, but it seems we are missing a village idiot and a teapot," she said, narrowing her eyes.
"They said on the group chat they couldn't get anyone to cover their shifts at the pizza place," Seb explained.
Miss Jenn looked confused, everyone knowing that they had two separate group chats, one with the students and one with Miss Jenn as well.
"I meant the group chat with me, Andy and EJ," Seb said and Miss Jenn just went along with it.
"Back to the matter at hand," Miss Jenn said, "I can tell you've all seen the video,"
It was nerve wracking to know that East High had such a high production quality compared to theirs.
Everyone nodded, "Its incredible, even I have no notes, I can't believe they stole our show," Carlos exclaimed.
"Miss Jenn, how are we supposed to beat North High at the Menkies if they're churning out this a second after changing their musical?" Ashlyn asked and everyone started to freak out.
Miss Jenn clapped her hands, everyone going silent as they waited for her to provide a solution.
"Wildcats, North High is clearly focusing on bells and whistles. All we need is to get back to basics," she said, explaining that they were going to spend the rest of the weekend doing an active intensive.
"I'm gonna have to cancel the table for tonight," EJ whispered into Andys ear. She nodded. It was their first date tonight and for the third time, it had been cancelled.
Andy just wanted this perfect first date with him, one where they could sit around and just chat and she didn't care if that was in a Carrabba's or a random parking lot.
She reached down, squeezing his hand and feeling him squeeze back.
"Don't forget, we have something North High doesn't have, a brand new original song for the beast and the rose," Miss Jenn explained, Nini was now playing the rose.
They all did some weird warm up exercises, Nini leaving to go and write the song.
They performed loads of weird exercises and finally it was time to practice some improv.
"Ashlyn will start us off, Gina agree with what she says and then carry on, lets get a suggestion for the location" Miss Jenn said.
"The louvre?" EJ suggested, Miss Jenn loving the idea. He smiled, reaching down and grabbing Andys hand.
"I thought this was meant to be a secret relationship?" She whispered to him and he smiled, squeezing her hand.
"Nobody will notice," he promised, the two going back to watching Ashlyn and Gina's improv.
She shook her head, a giddy smile on her face as she felt his hand in hers.
Gina didn't seem connected to the piece and Ashlyn got frustrated, leaving the scene as they finished the improv.
She called Carlos and Seb to the front and they performed some improv.
After a long and incredibly tiring day, Andy and EJ walked outside, her uncle waving from his car.
"Andy!" He exclaimed and she looked at her boyfriend confused before walking over with EJ behind her.
"Hey James, whats up?" She asked, not understanding why her uncle was sitting in his car in the parking lot with flowers and a picnic basket.
"Sophie told me that Viv told her that you told her that you and EJ are dating so I brought you a first date picnic basket," he said, freezing when he saw her confused face, "But if you don't want it-"
Andy cut him off, she just froze because she felt so grateful, "No! It's great," she said before turning to EJ, "I'm up to it if you are,"
He smiled at her, walking over and helping rake the picnic basket out of the car, "Course I am Andy," he said, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"You watch those hands mister," James said with a smile, "Your mum and dad went on a similar first date, back in high school,"
Andy smiled half heartedly at the sentiment, thanking her uncle before walking to the park with EJ.
The two sat there, eating food and just talking about school and the play and everything - it was absolutely perfect.
There was something nice and simple about it just being the two of them with no fuss..
"Do you wish your dad was here, to see all this?" EJ asked randomly and when he saw Andy freeze up, his eyes went wide with panic, "Sorry! God, I shouldn't have brought that up,"
Andy chuckled, "It's fine EJ, I can talk about my dad without bursting into tears," she took a deep breath, "Of course I do, but I try not to linger on the thought,"
For a while, it was silent, both teenagers just looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
EJ leaned in, placing a hand on her cheek, "Your dad would be so proud of you, I know I am," he said and she just blushed.
It was always going to be a slightly tough conversation but she was a grown up and could handle it.
"That means a lot Eej," she said, leaning in closer so that their noses were touching.
"I'm gonna kiss you now," he whispered and she smiled as his lips pressed up against hers in a sweet kiss.
When they pulled apart, he rested his forehead against hers, his hand going to tuck a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
"You're perfect," he whispered and she smorted at his cheesiness.
He started laughing as well when he heard her snort, her hands going up to clasp her mouth. They both broke out into laughs, the two teenagers lost in each other completely.
There was something easy about being around EJ. She never had to worry about doing something dumb.
When they finished, there was a tiny, many make out session on the blanket that Andy had to cut short.
"My uncle will be pissed if I'm late home," she said, a sad tone to her voice.
She didn't want the date to end and neither did he.
They took a slow walk through the suburbs, under the blossoming flowers of the trees and the blue skies.
It seemed like the perfect day, his hand in hers as he held her close, the picnic basket in the other hand.
She looked up at him, his eyes shining in the light. She let out a small chuckle, unable to fathom how she had managed to find someone like him.
"What?" He asked, stopping at the start of their street, looking down at her.
As EJ looked at her, he couldn't understand why someone as amazing as her would ever choose someone like him.
He brushed a piece of her away from her face, tucking it behind her ear. He watched a blush spread across her cheeks at the action.
"Just wondering how I got this lucky," Andy stated.
He smiled, that perfect smile that had made her fall for him in the first place and she knew he was the perfect boy for her.
"Well I don't know how I got this lucky, so i guess we're both in shock," he stated.
She hummed in response before looking behind her at their houses next to each other.
"Pretty good first date if you ask me," Andy said and he nodded.
He squeezed her hand as he walked her over to her door.
"Yeah, and plenty more to come. I'll pick you up Sunday, I'll surprise you with a great second date," he said, sticking his pinky finger out as they reached their houses, stopping.
"Deal," she said, pulling him in for a quick kiss before walking away, opening her door and taking one last look at EJ.
He waved at her and she smiled before closing the door, a giddy grin stuck on her face.
Vivian was standing there and looked at her little sisters elated expression and she knew there would be no boy that could compare to EJ Caswell after this.

You are given free tickets (including plane/train/bus/whatever tickets as needed) to go see one comedian anywhere in the world. It's the only live show you can see for the rest of the year. Who do you go see?
Yesterday I finished listening to the audiobook of The Holy Vible, written by John Robins and Elis James, and the final chapter was Z for Zappa, where John Robins talked for a while about how much he loves Frank Zappa for a while. At the end of the chapter, Elis James jumped in and they had this exchange:
Elis: He was hugely prolific and varied, so I would like to pin John down to the three Zappa albums he would take with him to a desert island. John: Oh, all right, then. Roxy & Elsewhere, Waka/Jawaka, Bongo Fury, Zoot Allures, Burnt Weeny Sandwich. Läther. Elis: That's six. John: It'll be ten if you're not careful.
That made me laugh because it's exactly how I answer questions like that; I'm a big fan of loopholes and copouts (though I usually make at least a cursory effort to find a loophole to justify my copout, which is why John made me laugh by just not bothering with that), and I do not like being pinned down to anything.
Okay, what are the parametres? Do I have to have to see whatever they're touring right now, or can the magic of this hypothetical have them right a new show, or could I pick something from their back catalogue? Would I get to the pick the genre of the hypothetical new show? Do they have to be performing at all this year in real life, or does the magic of the hypothetical situation solve that too?
Obviously the first thought is Kitson, but I have heard his current show before. It's a very good show, and specifically one where I think it's more fun if you're in the room and physically experiencing it, so that would be great. But also, it's a show I've heard before (a bunch of times, if I'm honest), and it seems a shame to use a literally magic opportunity on one I've already heard. Kitson, if in this instance he's got a new show (or is just doing one of his mostly improv WIP nights, and it's one of the ones where he's really on form).
If we can magically have them write a new show, Alice Fraser comes to mind, but she's specifically said she's not doing one this year. I've seen all her previous hours, and as much as I love her stuff, I can't use this opportunity on an hour that's already been filmed, or is likely to be filmed.
Which brings me to Andy Zaltzman, who has self-promotion skills that never cease to amaze me. He's doing at least one WIP this spring that I haven't heard him mention anywhere. On yesterday's Ask Andy episode for Bugle subscribers, he got asked what football players he'd compare himself to, mentioned someone from Salford, and because that had come up, happened to mention in passing that Salford is not on the list of the places he's going on his stand-up tour in November. This tour is not listed on his website or anywhere else that I could find with a Google. A show that I haven't heard before (and is unlikely to get filmed) is going to exist this year anyway, so I wouldn't need the magic hypothetical to create it. That's a strong candidate. Main drawback is most of the material in it would probably appear on The Bugle - I desperately want to see it but could I use magic for something that could be cobbled together from podcast episodes?
And then I also wonder if I can use this to magically make John Oliver do stand-up again. This wouldn't need to push the boundaries of reality all that far, because he did a stand-up tour last year. If I could make him do more performances of that, but this time not with Seth Myers (Seth Myers is probably fine any everything, I'm just not into him), and in Kitson-sized rooms. I'd use it for that in a heartbeat.
Josie Long is starting a new show, so there's another realistic one. The main copout loophole I like to use is just doing a bunch of honourable mentions/I could do this one, so I can get away with actually giving multiple answers.
Could I make Danielle Ward come back even though she's retired from live performances? Bit of a left-field choice, but it would be a solid use of whatever magic is in the hypothetical situation, getting someone whose stuff I loved (on Do the Right Thing, but also the one stand-up hour she filmed was very good) to come out of retirement. Would feel like I really used that magic well, rather than seeing a show I've already seen.
The answer's Nish Kumar, though. I didn't actually need to write the rest of this post, because the answer's Nish Kumar (I liked the idea of ending this post on an uncaveated statement like that, but sorry, I need to add: unless I could get a new show, even just a new unstructured WIP - or a back catalogue show of my choice - out of Kitson - actually the answer might just be Kitson, I mean I've heard Nish's current show too so having heard it before doesn't disqualify people, my answer is Kitson or Kumar, you've pinned me down to two, I'm not going to one, it'll be ten if you're not careful).

BIG TIME CONCERT - part one, chapter fourteen
The boys had finally made their first music video and it was difficult, but Andi thought it turned out really great in the end. The Puerto Rican girl was currently in the recording studio. She was the only one in there and she decided to play the grand piano that was in there. She wrote a song for herself a few days ago and wanted to try it out and see if it was good. She has a keyboard at home she used, but sometimes if you play it on a grand piano it sounds better.
Out in the hallway, Kendall was following Carlos, James, and Logan to Gustavo's office, but stopped when he heard a noise coming from the recording studio. It sounded like someone playing piano, it sounded beautiful. He wandered off from his friends to go find out who was playing the piano.
Andi continued to play the piano, unaware of Kendall entering the room. Her eyes were closed as she concentrated on playing the piano. Kendall smiles as he watches her play. He thinks the song she's playing is beautiful and he doesn't want to interrupt her. He had no idea she could play piano, he had recently just found out she could sing like an angel, now she can play the piano. She was so talented, she never failed to amaze him.
He stood there, mesmerized as she continued to play. She had yet to notice him as she was so focused on playing. The song was a slow, beautiful melody. Her fingers danced across the keys as she played, her expression soft and serene.
Finally, the song came to an end and she opened her eyes. She was startled to see Kendall standing there, his expression full of awe. She blushed, suddenly feeling embarrassed that he had heard her playing.
"Kendall!" She said nervously, standing up. "What are you doing here?" She smiled shyly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
Kendall grins at her. "I heard someone playing the piano and I had to come see who it was. I didn't know you could play like that, Andi. That was amazing." He walked closer to her, a smile still on his face.
"Thanks," Andi said, her cheeks still flushed. "I wrote that song myself. It's not finished yet, though. I'm still working on it." She wasn't sure why she was telling him this, but something about his presence made her feel at ease, almost as if she could tell him anything. She didn't know why, but she felt comfortable around him, as if they had known each other for years instead of a few months.
"Really?" Kendall asks, his eyes widening as he looked impressed. He stops walking until he stood in front of her. "That's incredible, Andi. You're really talented. You never fail to amaze me." He reached out and gently took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Andi's heart skipped a beat at his touch, and she felt a warmth spread through her chest.
"Thank you, Kendall," She said softly, meeting his gaze. "That means a lot coming from you." She couldn't help but feel a rush of affection towards him. He always knew how to make her feel special, even with just a few simple words.
Kendall smiles softly at her, his eyes shining with warmth. "Anytime, Andi. You're one of a kind." He pauses before adding, "Maybe when you're done with the song, you could show it to me. I'd love to hear the rest of it."
Andi's smile grows, her cheeks turning a darker shade of pink. "I'd like that," She said quietly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "It would be an honor to share my music with you." She meant every word. She didn't let just anyone hear her music, but something about Kendall made her feel safe, like she could trust him with anything.
Kendall grins back at her, his expression full of warmth and sincerity. "Well, I should probably get going. Me and the guys are here to see if we can get our demos can be put in stores."
"I'll go with you." She offered, her cheeks warming up.
Kendall grins and gives her hand a squeeze. "I'd like that. I have a feeling I'm gonna need the support."
Andi smiles, her heart fluttering. "You've got my support, Kendall. I'm always here for you."
They both left the recording studio, still holding hands as they headed towards Gustavo's office. Their hearts felt lighter, knowing they had each other's support. Though when they got to the studio, they let go of their hands reluctantly. They both immediately missed the warmth and comfort that came from holding hands. But they knew it was for the best. Still, they couldn't help but steal glances at each other, their hearts filled with warmth and affection.
"Well?" The boys asked in anticipation as Kendall and Andi entered the office.
Kelly picks up a box full of their demos. She sets the box on the desk and Gustavo gets out one of the demos, showing it to Andi and the boys. "Schpingo."
Andi and the boys look at the demo excitedly. Andi had to admit the demo looked really good. She would buy it if it was in stores. "And people can buy this...In stores?" Kendall questioned hopefully and in disbelief. He still couldn't believe they made it this far.
Kelly points at them. "Not yet."
The smiles on Andi's and the boy's faces fell at hearing that. Gustavo stands up, going over to a white screen on the wall. "The record company will not release it until they announce your Big Time...." He pulls up the white screen, revealing a map of where Big Time Rush would tour. "Tour!"
Andi and the boys immediately grow excited again. Andi kind of figured that the band would eventually have a tour because she couldn't believe that it seemed like it was so close. "And your first concert is in two weeks." Gustavo said to the boys.
Andi steps to the side, looking at the boys weirdly when they start daydreaming about their concert. "Should I tell them that preparing for a concert will be the hardest thing they've ever done and that it's not in Times Square?" Gustavo asked, glancing at Andi and Kelly.
Kelly chuckles lightly. "Oh, let them have their fantasy." She looks at the boys with a smile. "They look so happy."
"Fine." Gustavo sighs and crosses his arms. "I'll give them another minute. Then I'll burst their bubble."
****
They were now in the recording studio where a stage was set up so the boys could get a real experience during practice. Andi stood on the stage next to Gustavo and Kelly. There were even manakins on stage to be the band.
"The concert stage, where you will need intense focus." Gustavo said to the boys.
"Incredible stamina." Kelly added.
"And," Andi chimes in, stepping to the side along with Gustavo and Kelly to reveal Mr. X. Mr. X looks at the boys, putting his arms in an 'x' position. "Expert knowledge of every inch."
"Why are we wearing dog cones?" Kendall asked, pointing to the dog cone he had on, looking annoyed.
"Because during your concert, you got to...Look at your fans," He sings the last part and then talks again as he points at his feet. "Not your feet!" Mr. X jumps off the stage, moving to stand in front of the boys. "And to avoid extreme injury, you have to know without thinking and see without looking."
A few moments later and the boys are on stage now while Andi, Gustavo, Kelly, and Mr. X are standing on the floor next to a stereo. "What if we have an itch?" Logan questioned.
Gustavo points at him. "Don't!"
"Places." Mr. X tells the boys and the boys did as they were told. "Focus. Begin."
It started off good until when Kendall and James go to walk to the opposite side of the stage, they bumped into each other. When each of them spin, Carlos and Logan end up knocking the drum set over and Andi cringes at the fall and the loud crash.
Kendall and James manage to get Carlos and Logan up while Mr. X turns off the music. He looks at Andi, Gustavo, and Kelly, shrugging his shoulders. "They lasted longer than I expected." He looks back at the boys. "Again!"
Mr. X turns the music on again and once again Kendall and James bump into each other when they try walking to the opposite side of the stage. Andi facepalmed when Carlos and Logan crash into the drum set again after the spin. She had a feeling this would take a long time.
****
There were three more days until the first dress rehearsal and so far the boys had made a lot of improvement but they still had a long way to go. Andi was proud of how much progress they were making, but she was also nervous. The concert was coming up quickly and they had a lot of work to do. She just hoped that they would be able to pull it off.
Training continues for the next few days and Andi had to admit the boys were getting a lot better at being on stage. There were a lot of bumps along the road, but they eventually got to the point where they didn't need to wear dog cones on stage. Dak Zevon had helped the boys prepare for their first concert since he had more experience than them. And Andi couldn't believe it, but she thought the boys were so close to being able to be ready to be on stage.
Now it was the day of their dress rehearsal. Andi thought that it went great. Whenever the crazy fan tried jumping on one of the boys they ducked and when Gustavo shined the bright spotlight on them they didn't faze at all.
Andi joins everyone on cheering when the boys were done preforming. Griffin claps as well, smiling at the boys. "Bravo! Bravo! Watching you boys go from nobodies to somebodies has been more thrilling than hunting humans which is why it hurts me to say the album, the tour, and this concert...Are cancelled."
Everyone looks at him with wide eyes and all speak at the same time. "What?"
"What?" Griffin repeats. He shakes his head and turns to Andi, Gustavo, and Kelly. "I mean yeah. Big Time Rush is dead."
Andi felt her heart drop and she didn't know what to say or think. This couldn't be happening. After everything they went through, how hard they worked, how much effort and time was put into preparing for the concert, this couldn't be the end. She looked over at the boys and her heart ached for them. She could see the sadness and disappointment in their eyes. This was supposed to be their big break, their moment of glory. And now it was gone, just like that.
The boys get off the stage, standing in front of the crowd along with Andi, Gustavo, and Kelly. The boys, Andi, Camille, Gustavo, and Kelly all ask him in a loud tone, "What do you mean Big Time Rush is dead?"
"Accounting has just released their risk and feasibility report on Big Time Rush and they decided it's too risky and not feasible." Griffin explained.
The female member of the marketing team steps forward, holding a children's book in her hand. "We're shifting our strategy to children's books on tape. No tour is required. They have a higher profit margin and are super cheap to make."
"Which is why tomorrow Gustavo will be producing 'Can You Foo?'." Griffin said, gesturing to the book the female marketing team member shows the them. "As read by actor-environmentalist Ed Begley Jr."
"But, Griffin," James speaks up. "This is our someday."
"Close. It's your last day. Sorry fellas," Griffin apologizes. "I like you; I do, but as we say in business..."
"That's business." Griffin said at the same time the female marketing team member says that.
"You can't do this!" Gustavo shouts. "W-We've been working our butts off! Our concert is in one week."
"Don't worry." Griffin assures them. "That's why I'm giving all of you...Fruit Baskets."
"Fruit Baskets?" Andi scoffs, speaking up for the first time since she heard the news. She knew she should've bit her tongue and kept her mouth shut, but she couldn't help herself. She was frustrated and upset and disappointed. "That's all you have to say to us? That you're sorry, but all you can give us are Fruit Baskets?" She shakes her head, crossing her arms over her chest. "These boys worked so hard and now it's all for nothing. What a great business man you are, Griffin." She snapped at him and she turned to walk away. She had no more words to say to him. She just wanted to go home and drown her sorrows. She was frustrated and angry and sad.
She stormed down the hallway, tears stinging her eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening. All of their hard work had gone to waste, just like that. It wasn't fair. The boys deserved better than this. She knew how much the concert meant to them and to have it taken away was just cruel.
"Andi, wait!" She heard Kendall call after her and she stops, taking a deep breath.
"Kendall, please, not right now." She said, trying to keep her voice steady. She was feeling a mix of emotions and she just wanted to go home and be alone.
"Andi, please." Kendall said pleadingly, stopping in front of her. He could see the tears in her eyes and he hated seeing her like this. He understood why she was upset, but he couldn't just let her walk away without saying something. "I can't let you leave without making sure you're okay."
"Yeah, perfectly fine. Why wouldn't I be?" She said sarcastically, wiping away a stray tear that escaped her eye. She didn't mean to sound rude or anything, she didn't want to take her anger out on Kendall, but she couldn't help it. She was so frustrated and angry and she felt helpless. She hated it. "I mean, our hard work was just thrown out the window and all Griffin has to say is that he's sorry and give us Fruit Baskets and think that will solve everything. And now apparently Big Time Rush is dead which means you guys might have to go back and I don't want that to happen and...I'm rambling. I'm sorry. I just need to go home and be alone. If you'll excuse me, I've gotta go." She turned and began to quickly walk down the hallway, sniffling and wiping her tears away. She couldn't stand there any longer. She just wanted to go home.
Kendall watched her go, his heart aching for her. He couldn't believe what happened either, but he couldn't let her walk away like this. Not when she was hurting so much. He hated seeing her like this. He knew he had to do something. He quickly went after her, trying to get her attention as they made it to the lobby of the building. "Andi, wait!"
"Leave me alone." She mumbled, continuing to walk in the direction to the Palm Woods. She felt overwhelmed with emotions and she just wanted to be alone with her thoughts.
Kendall didn't listen to her plea to be left alone. He couldn't just let her go like this. Not when she was clearly hurting. He caught up to her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to stop and turn to look at him. "Andi, please," he said softly, his green eyes filled with concern. "I know this is tough, but you don't have to go through it alone. We're all in this together, remember?"
Andi sniffled, feeling a fresh wave of tears threatening to spill over. She didn't want to burden Kendall with her problems, but she couldn't deny the comfort she felt from his presence. "Kendall, please, just...Please leave me alone." She begged, her voice cracking.
"No." He said firmly, shaking his head. He wasn't going to let her push him away. Not when she was hurting so much. He cared about her and he wanted to be there for her. "Andi, please, talk to me. You don't have to go through this alone."
"I'm not going through anything." She said, her tone coming out harsher than she intended. She immediately felt bad and took a deep breath, letting out a shaky sigh. "Kendall, please, just let me be. I appreciate the gesture, but I really need to be alone right now."
"No." He repeats, his expression softening. "I'm not going to let you shut me out. You're clearly hurting and I'm not going to let you deal with that on your own. So, please, talk to me." He pleaded, his tone gentle and reassuring. He could see the turmoil in Andi's eyes, the pain and frustration bubbling beneath the surface, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer in silence.
Andi looked at Kendall, her heart aching at the concern in his eyes. She knew he meant well, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to open up about everything just yet. She felt so overwhelmed and lost, and she didn't know where to begin. "Kendall, I...I don't know what to say." She admits, her voice breaking. "I'm so angry and frustrated and disappointed, and I feel like I'm about to burst. And I'm scared, Kendall. I don't want you guys to leave, but I know it's a possibility, and I don't know if I can handle that. I don't know what to do. It's all just...too much." She finally broke down, her tears spilling over as she let out a choked sob. She felt Kendall's arms wrap around her, holding her close as she cried, and she buried her face in his shoulder, seeking comfort from his embrace. She was embarrassed by her outburst, but she was too overwhelmed to care. She just needed someone to hold onto, and Kendall was there for her, steady and unwavering.
She never had many friends growing up, but Kendall and his friends made her feel like she had a family. A place where she belonged. And the thought of losing that, losing them, was too much to bear. She clung to Kendall, his presence grounding her as she cried, her tears soaking into his shirt. Andi didn't know how long they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, but it was enough for her to calm down and find her voice again.
"I'm sorry." She whispers, her voice muffled against Kendall's shoulder. "This is embarrassing, and you shouldn't have to deal with this."
"Hey, it's okay." Kendall reassures her, his voice soft and soothing. "You're not bothering me. I'm glad you opened up to me. I want to be here for you, Andi. "I care about you, and I hate seeing you hurting like this. We're a team, Andi, and we're in this together. Whatever happens, we'll face it together. You're not alone." He pulls back slightly to look into her eyes, his gaze filled with sincerity and warmth. "And just so you know, you're not the only one feeling scared and frustrated. We're all in this together, and we'll figure it out. Together."
James rolls his eyes playfully, but Andi can see the hint of sadness in them. "Nice try, Andi, but I'm not falling for it." He tries to shut the door, but Andi quickly sticks her foot in the doorway, preventing him from closing it.Andi sniffles, feeling a sense of comfort wash over her at Kendall's words. She nods, grateful for his support and understanding. "Thank you, Kendall," She says, her voice steadier now. "I appreciate that. I'm not good at letting people in, but I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're all here." She can't help but smile, despite the uncertainty of the situation. She feels a sense of warmth and gratitude towards Kendall, knowing that she has someone she can rely on during this difficult time. She knows that whatever happens, they'll face it together as a team.
"Even if we do happen to have to leave, we'll stay in touch. I promise." Kendall vows, his expression earnest and sincere. "But don't worry about that, not right now. Let's just spend some time together, okay? We can watch a movie or something, just to take our minds off of everything."
Andi nods, smiling softly at Kendall. She appreciates his efforts to cheer her up, and she's grateful for his presence and support. She knows that, even if the worst happens and the boys have to move back to Minnesota, she'll always have him and the others in her life. And that thought alone is enough to give her hope and strength. "Yeah, that sounds good," She says, her smile widening. "Thank you, Kendall, for everything." She leaned forward to kiss his cheek.
"You're welcome." Kendall whispered, smiling softly. He was relieved to see her smile and felt his heart skip a beat when she kissed his cheek. He felt his face grow warm, and he cleared his throat, trying to compose himself. "So, um, shall we go back to the Palm Woods?"
"Sure." Andi nodded, her smile widening. Despite everything that had happened, she was grateful for the support and friendship she had found in Kendall and the others. She knew that, whatever the future held, they would face it together.As they made their way back to the Palm Woods, the two shared a look, smiling at each other. They may not have been sure what the future held, but they knew that they would always have each other. And that was enough for them.
****
Andi had to admit she felt better after her conversation with Kendall. She was still hurt and frustrated, but she knew that Kendall and the boys would be there for her, no matter what. And sadly the boys did have to go move back to Minnesota and now Andi was at the boy's apartment to say her goodbyes. Her heart felt heavy as she reached the apartment and knocked.
"Hi, Mrs. Knight. I just wanted to come say goodbye." She greets once Jennifer opens the door for her, her eyes growing wide when she notices all of the boxes in the apartment. "Why are there so many boxes?"
"Katie ordered a lot of merchandise she was going to sell." Jennifer replies with a sigh. "And now she's upset that she can't." She steps to the side, sending Andi a smile. "Come in."
Andi nods in understanding as she walks inside. "Makes sense." She looks at Jennifer with a small smile. "Don't think I'm not gonna miss you too 'cause I am." Andi pulled the woman into a hug.
"I'll miss you too, hun." Jennifer said softly, returning the hug.
ennifer smiles and hugs her back. "I'm gonna miss you too, Andi."
After their hug Andi walks further into the apartment as Jennifer closes the door. Glancing around the place, she furrows her eyebrows when she notices something. "Where's Katie and James?"
"They're hiding 'cause they don't wanna leave." Carlos replied.
Andi sympathetically smiles. "Yeah, I don't blame them.' She walks over to Carlos and pulls him into a hug. "Gonna miss you and that stupid helmet of yours."
Carlos chuckles and hugs her back. "I'm gonna miss you too."
"James, get out here now so I can hug you!" Andi yelled after she pulled away from Carlos.
James opens the door of the bathroom and peeks out. "Not gonna happen 'cause this isn't real and we're not really going back to Minnesota."
Andi points at him, walking over to him with a determined expression on her face. "I'm gonna get you to hug me whether you like it or not."
James rolls his eyes playfully, but Andi can see the hint of sadness in them. "Nice try, Andi, but I'm not falling for it." He tried to shut the door, but Andi quickly sticked her foot in the doorway, preventing him from closing it.
"Hug me." She demanded, not moving an inch. She knew James was hurting and she wanted to comfort him. Plus she wasn't leaving without a hug from him.
Andi's persistence paid off as James finally relented, pulling her closer and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, feeling the warmth of his presence and the weight of the impending goodbye. James hugged her back, his grip firm yet tender, conveying all the emotions he couldn't put into words.
"I'm not gonna miss you 'cause we're not leaving." He grumbled, although Andi could hear the pain in his voice.
"Well I'm gonna miss you." She replied, hugging him tighter. She knew he was putting up a front, but she also knew that he was hurting. She was going to miss him, and all of the boys, so much. They had become her best friends and family, and she was going to miss spending time with them and laughing at their crazy antics. She was going to miss the late-night phone calls and the early morning coffee runs, the inside jokes and the silly nicknames, the hugs and the laughter, and most of all, the memories they had made together.
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss you too." James finally admitted quietly, his voice thick with emotion.
Andi's heart ached at the sound of his voice, and she could feel her own tears threatening to fall. "You better text me or call me every day. No excuses." She said, trying to lighten the mood.
"I will. I promise." He mumbled, his voice muffled against her shoulder.
"Good." She sighs, taking in a shaky breath. She hated goodbyes, and this one was especially hard. She pulls away, giving him a watery smile. "We'll keep in touch. Promise."
"Yeah, we will." James smiled, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.
She also managed to get Katie out of her little fort of boxes she made to hug her. Before she left she made sure to stop by the pool where Jennifer told her Kendall and Logan were at saying goodbye to Jo and Camille.
"I'm gonna miss you both so much." Andi said with a sad smile. She didn't want them to leave, but she knew she had to say goodbye. She hugged Logan tightly, feeling his arms wrap around her in return.
"We're gonna miss you too." Logan whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
"You both better call or text." She mumbled as she hugged him tighter.
"Obviously." Logan muttered, causing Andi to chuckle.
After she hugged Logan, Andi turns to Kendall, her heart aching at the thought of saying goodbye to him. "I can't believe you're leaving." She said quietly, her voice breaking. She felt Kendall pull her into a tight embrace, and she clung to him, trying to memorize the feel of his arms around her and the scent of his cologne. She buried her face in his shoulder, letting her tears fall freely as she held onto him, knowing that this would be the last time they'd be together like this. She could feel his arms tightening around her, as if he was trying to convey all the words he couldn't say, and she clung to him, not wanting to let go.
"I don't want you to leave." She mumbled, her voice muffled against his chest.
"I don't want to leave either." Kendall whispers, his arms still wrapped tightly around her. "But we'll still be in touch, I promise. And whenever you need me, I'll be here for you, no matter where I am."
Andi pulls away, wiping her tears as she looks up at Kendall. "Promise?"
"Promise." He replies, his green eyes filled with sincerity and affection. He holds out his pinky finger, and Andi can't help but smile as she interlocks her own with his. It was a silly gesture, but it meant everything to her. "Pinky swear." He said, a sad smile gracing his features.
Andi's smile widens as she feels Kendall's finger intertwine with hers. She knew that he was serious about keeping in touch and being there for her, and it meant the world to her. She could feel her heart swell with love and affection for him, and she couldn't help but think about how lucky she was to have him in her life.
"Thank you, Kendall. For everything." She whispered, her voice filled with emotion.
"Anytime, Andi." He whispered back, his green eyes shining with unspoken words.
They continued to hug each other, neither one wanting to let go. But eventually, Andi knew she had to. She couldn't bear to watch her boys leave, but she knew that they had to. She gave Kendall one final hug, trying to memorize the feel of his strong arms wrapped around her, before reluctantly letting go. She was going to miss all the boys, but Kendall was special. He became her best friend and more. She would never forget the times they spent together, and she knew that a part of her would always be with him. As she watched him walk away, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and loss. She knew that things would never be the same again, but she also knew that they would always have a connection. And even though they were apart, Andi knew that Kendall would always be there for her, no matter what.
****
It's been three days since Jennifer, Katie, and the boys haven't been in L.A. and things weren't the same without them. Andi knew it was silly but she was already missing them, and she was dreading the empty feeling in her stomach when she woke up the next morning. She missed having breakfast with Kendall, or hanging out at the Palm Woods with James and Carlos. She even missed the way Logan would constantly ramble on about some new medical discovery. She missed listening to Carlos' crazy ideas and seeing James' obsessing over his hair and clothes. She missed playing hockey with the boys and watching movies with Kendall. Spending time with them made her feel happy and alive, and now that they were gone, she felt like a part of her was missing.
"Get out of bed." Andi groaned at hearing her mom's voice. She knew her mom was right, she couldn't lay in bed all day, but she didn't feel like doing anything. Kelly walked into her daughter's room and walks over to the window, pulling back the curtain and letting the light in her dark room. Andi groaned again, pulling the covers over her head.
"What's the point, mom?" She sighs, her voice muffled by the blanket. "They're gone. I have nothing to look forward to." She dramatically sighed, causing her mother to chuckle.
Kelly walks over to her daughter's bed and sits down. "You have so much to look forward to, hun. You have the rest of your life ahead of you."
"It's nothing without them." She mumbled, her voice filled with sadness.
Kelly smiles sadly, understanding her daughter's pain. She missed the boys and Jennifer and Katie as well, but she knew that they would keep in touch and that she and Andi would see them again. "They're not gone, hun. We'll see them again, and we'll talk to them. They're only a phone call or a text message away."
Andi peeks her head out from under the blanket, her gaze meeting her mom's. "It's not the same." She huffs, frowning at her mom. "And just when I was starting to like him too." She mumbled, burying her face back into the pillow.
"Kendall?" Kelly asked, already knowing the answer. She could see the way Andi and Kendall interacted, and she knew that they had a connection.
"Yeah." Andi's muffled voice replies. "I really like him, and now he's gone. He was the first boy I had a crush on. And now he's gone."
"Oh, sweetheart." Kelly cooed, feeling sympathetic towards her daughter. She could hear the sadness and hurt in her voice, and she knew that she was taking the boys' departure pretty hard. The past three days her daughter had been moping around the apartment, barely eating or talking. Andi was usually a very upbeat and positive person, but the boys' departure had taken a toll on her. She wasn't even writing songs or playing piano. She was just laying in bed, not wanting to do anything.
"It'll be okay, Andi." She reassures her daughter, reaching over and rubbing her back soothingly. "You'll see, things will work out."
Andi lifts her head and looks at her mom, a defeated look on her face. "How do you know that?"
"Because I know you. And I know that you're stronger than you think. You can get through anything, and I'm here for you, no matter what. I love you, sweetie." Kelly said, smiling softly at her daughter.
"I love you too, mom." Andi replied, returning her mom's smile. Despite the emptiness she felt, she was grateful for her mom and her support. She knew that her mom was right, and that she could get through anything. But still, she missed the boys and Jennifer and Katie, and she couldn't help but wonder when they would see each other again.
****
The next day Andi was doing slightly better though, of course, still upset about the boys moving away. She was sitting at her desk in her room, her notebook open as she worked on writing the rest of her song she had started.
"Andi, pack a bag, we're going to Minnesota." Her mom suddenly said, walking into her room.
Andi looks up with wide eyes, a shocked expression on her face. "Are you serious?" She asked, her voice filled with disbelief, sitting up straighter while excitement began to build up in her.
Kelly nods, a wide smile on her face. "Very. Gustav and I have a plan to get the band back together," She goes to her daughter's closet, pulling out her suitcase. "So pack a bag, get ready, and get excited 'cause we're leaving in two hours."
"Yes!" Andi shouted, jumping up from her seat. She was beyond ecstatic. She couldn't believe that she was going to see the boys and Jennifer and Katie again. She eagerly packed her bag, making sure to pack enough clothes for the trip. She was so excited she couldn't even sit still, her nerves and excitement getting the best of her. She couldn't wait to see the boys and tell them the good news. After she was finished packing, Andi helped her mom finish packing their bags, and the two of them met up with Gustavo to head to Minnesota.
****
To say that Kendall was surprised to see Gustavo, Kelly, and Andi at his door later that day was an understatement. Andi watched with surprise and concern at seeing the boy faint back onto a stack of boxes behind him, knocking a few of them down.
"Is he okay?" She asks, her eyebrows furrowing in concern. She was worried about the boy, and she hoped he was alright. After Jennifer came over to let them in, she quickly went over to Kendall to check on him. "Kendall, are you okay?" She questioned, kneeling beside him and gently shaking him.
Kendall's eyes slowly opened, and he blinked a few times, his vision clearing. He first sees a concerned Andi hovering over him, but the angle the light is hitting her at causes her hair to shine like a golden halo around her. He feels his breath catch in his throat and his heart skip a beat as he stares up at her, completely captivated by her beauty. "Andi?" He croaked, his voice hoarse.
Andi nods, a soft smile gracing her lips. "Yeah, it's me. Are you okay?" She inquires, her voice laced with concern. "That fall looked a little painful." She added, her eyes roaming over his body, checking for any injuries.
Kendall shakes his head, still in disbelief. "Yeah, I'm fine." He sits up slowly, rubbing the back of his head. "I can't believe you're here."
Andi is surprised when suddenly he lunges forward, hugging her tightly. "Oof." She grunts as she stumbles back slightly, but hugs him back. "Missed you too." She mumbled, burying her face into his shoulder, breathing in his familiar scent. She had missed him, and now that they were reunited, she didn't want to let go.
Kendall smiles, pulling her closer. He had missed her, and he was glad to see her again. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Andi heard someone clear their throat behind her, reminding her why she was there. Reluctantly, she pulled away, giving Kendall a sheepish grin.
"Sorry, but we need to talk. Gustavo and my mom have a plan to get you guys back in the studio and on tour." She told him.
Kendall's eyes widen, and his mouth drops open. He couldn't believe it. Was he dreaming? If he was, he didn't want to wake up. "You really are an angel." He mumbled under his breath.
"What was that?" Andi asked, not quite hearing what Kendall said.
"I, um, just said you're awesome. Yeah, that's it." Kendall lied, not wanting to embarrass himself by telling her he thought she was an angel. He blushed and got up, offering a hand to her. Andi smiled and took it, and Kendall helped her up, his hand lingering on hers for a moment longer before he reluctantly pulled away.
"Thanks." She said, a shy smile on her lips. Soon Kendall was sat on the couch with his mom, Logan, and Carlos as she stood by her mom and Gustavo.
"I'm putting the band back together." Gustavo said, holding a cup of tea as he sat in front of Carlos, Kendall, Logan, and Kendall's and Katie's mom.
Kelly points at them with a grin on her face. "And we're doing the concert."
"Yes!" Katie suddenly appeared from behind the couch, wearing a Big Time Rush t-shirt and hat. Andi jumped, startled with her sudden appearance, but she smiled at her enthusiasm. She was so cute.
"What do you say, guys?" Gustavo asks. "You want to come back to L.A. and take one more shot at the big time?" He questioned in a hopeful tone.
Andi, Gustavo, and Kelly look at them with hopeful expressions. Kendall shares a look with Carlos and Logan before looking back at Gustavo. "No."
Andi frowns, feeling her heart drop. "Wait, what? Why?" She asked, a confused and disappointed expression on her face. She didn't understand.
Andi jumps a bit, glancing at Gustavo when he breaks the tea cup he held. Kendall points at Gustavo. "Gustavo, we're tired of being pushed around."
"We're gonna be a band. We're not gonna be a band. What you want. What Griffin doesn't want." Kendall points at himself. "I want a hockey scholarship."
Gustavo looks at Andi and Kelly with a panicked expression. "I want to be a doctor." Logan spoke.
Andi looks at Carlos weirdly, just then realizing he's wearing some sort of superhero costume. "And I want to make the world a safer place." Carlos said, putting his hands on his hips.
Kendall looks at Gustavo and shakes his head. "You didn't even say goodbye."
"I'm not good at goodbyes!" Gustavo shouts, startling the others. Kelly hits the back of his head causing the hat he wore to move forward a bit. Gustavo fixes his hat and sighs. "But I believe in you. And you've taught me things, other things that...I'm not good at, like friendship and loyalty...And family. Can I-Can I stop now?" Gustavo asked, glancing at Andi and Kelly pleadingly.
"Why stop now when you're so good at this stuff?" Andi chuckled, amused at Gustavo's awkwardness. She smiled sweetly at Gustavo when he narrowed his eyes at her and turned his attention back to the boys.
"If we go back, our album will be released, right?" Carlos questioned.
Gustavo stands up. "Once people will see your concert, everything else will fall into place. I'm almost positive."
While sighing, Kendall stands up. "So you want us to pack up everything, again, for a concert that may or may not launch our album."
Carlos and Logan stand up, crossing their arms. "So, we got a deal?" Gustavo nervously smiled.
A sigh of relief escapes Andi's lips when Carlos, Kendall, and Logan reply with, "Yep."
****
They're finally back in L.A., but sadly without James. They went to talk with James' dad to see where he is before they left Minnesota, and were sad to find out that he is now working with Hawk Records.
"We are back!" Carlos excitedly exclaimed.
"Now, all we have to do is find James, tell him the band's back together, and...." Kendall's voice trailed off as he, Carlos, and Logan realized that the place is empty.
"Oh my gosh, the studio's been robbed!" Logan exclaimed while the three of them panicked.
Carlos gasps. "Looks like this is a job for..." He opens his button up shirt to reveal his superhero costume underneath. "El Hombre Del Flaming Space Rock Man."
"That's an awful superhero name." Andi commented, her face scrunching up in distaste.
Kendall and Logan nods in agreement. Kendall mimics the sound of a buzzer while Logan points at Carlos. "Need a better name."
"The studio wasn't robbed." Kelly explained as Carlos buttoned his shirt back up.
"Yeah," Andi sighs. "Gustavo had to sell literally everything to buy Big Time Rush back from Griffin."
"Including my mansion." Gustavo cried out and sobbed into Kelly's shoulder. Kelly sighed handing him a handkerchief, and he blew his nose.
"Don't worry, Gustavo." Kendall assures him. "We won't let you down."
"And you can stay at the Palm Woods with us." Mrs. Knight offered.
"Yeah," Gustavo stops crying as he looks at each of them. "There's no money for the Palm Woods."
Carlos, Kendall, and Logan look at him with wide eyes. Katie furrows her eyebrows. "Then where are we staying?"

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me semi-liveblogging
I'm about 2/3 through and I don't really feel like anything they're showing us is any big revelation? Like I pretty much understand the whole murder mystery part, that's not really confusing to me at all. Granted, I don't know what all the theorizing around Twin Peaks is about because I've deliberately avoided it for fear of spoilers, but it's not about that, is it? I actually got a couple episodes into season 3 before realizing FWWM was supposed to come first, and so far I haven't seen anything that's like "yeah you definitely have to see this first" except for like the fact that they recast Donna, and maybe the whole ring thing. But I haven't finished it yet, so I'll reserve judgement. Just preserving this here in case my thoughts don't change.
What I *don't* get is the weird shit like the white horse popping up. I get the White/Black Lodge and being stuck in limbo for 25 years while Bob is out and the doppelgangers and all that, just not the... additional, unexplained imagery. But at the same time, I don't feel like I need to understand it? It kind of feels weird to be weird, like the girl dancing at the beginning of the movie and what all the various things "meant."
Okay yeah I finished it and it's certainly interesting to see more detail especially about the Bob "curse" thing, but I'm not sure it was necessary. And I guess the angel means Laura's soul found peace? Maybe? And that did explain that the dwarf/giant is the one-armed man's arm...? Though I would have been fine with them just being some otherworldly entity. I'm not sure how them being his arm adds anything. But I can totally understand if this is the response to the audience being like "WHAT HAPPENED THOUGH??" especially since this is pre-internet era where people couldn't really put their heads together to figure stuff out on the scale that we can these days.
Also I didn't liveblog cuz I just binged it over a couple days but my GOSH season 2 dragged on in the middle and I am SO tired of James. And Donna did orchid boy dirty and Lucy is bae and when Andy got all that tape stuck all over his hands that was me for real.
So there, now I'm caught up with liveblogging.

ohh, that's too bad about your computer not being able to play dreamlight valley! i have heard that the game is supposed to have a mobile version, but i'm not sure if it's been released yet or not, so that could be something to look into. also, i can totally see that about tarzan wanting to dive right in and learn about everything around him. i'm sure that if jane were there with him she'd also be really excited to show him new things and help him with anything he didn't understand. oof, yeah, i didn't wanna be too harsh about wish in case you were still really looking forward to the movie, but i admit that my mixed feelings about it are more on the negative side. i like a couple of the songs, but they're riddled with strange and poorly written lyrics (for example, "i'm a star, watch out world here i are" or "i let you live here for free and i don't even charge rent") and some of them sound so generic that i just feel like i've already heard them before. after seeing the concept art and hearing about some of the ideas that didn't make it in, i ended up feeling like the movie had a lot of missed potential. it's a shame, especially since this was disney's 100th anniversary film. there is one other tarzan reference besides the shoutout in the credits, though, so definitely look out for that when you watch it! that's true about mark mancina, i see a lot of praise for tarzan's soundtrack that's specifically about phil collins, but mark created such a good score to go with his work. i'm really glad he got to work on moana as well. ooh i see, that does all sound pretty interesting! i love to read as well and pretty much always have a long list of things i'd like to read, and never enough time for all of them LOL. but i'll definitely have to add the tarzan novels to that list and try to check them out someday. are there any other tarzan movies you enjoy besides disney's version? -🌟
I looked, and is is available through Apple Arcade… but same problem, don't have a compatible device, lol. Not into computers/phones/etc enough to try and keep up with the latest. Would rather stretch my devices as long as I can and save the money for my collection. Oh well, maybe someday I'll play it. Would be so awesome to see more of Jane helping Tarzan learn new things though!
I agree with you on the lyrics, some of them are so bad!! I remember hearing those lines for the first time and feeling embarrassed for them. They sound like they're from a cheap bootleg ripoff, not from the most prestigious animation company in the world. They should be ashamed of themselves, they used to have incredible song lyrics.
That's awesome there's one other Tarzan reference though!! A very good reason to give it a watch!
Mark's score for Tarzan and Brother Bear are so beautiful. As soon as I saw he was doing Moana I knew I was going to love it!
Ah, the pain of never having enough time to read… and it always seems that when you do, you can't find anything to read! I'm currently halfway through the Asian Saga by James Clavell. I've read those books so many times I've lost count. I was about a third of the way through Shogun when I found out that there's a new FX series based on the book that's going to be on Disney+ at the end of February! Although I've finished reading Shogun since, I'm trying to finish reading the other 5 books before the series starts… I don't think I'm going to make it, lol.
I hope you enjoy the Tarzan novels if you get to read them!!
I haven't seen many other Tarzan movies, but I did really enjoy Greystoke with Christopher Lambert and Andie MacDowell. Of the ones I've seen it feels the closet to the books. And it has an unexpected connection to the Disney version… Andie MacDowell's voice was dubbed by Glenn Close, so it's like seeing Jane and hearing Kala!
Growing up I watched the Tarzan tv series starring Wolf Larson and Lydie Denier, which was my first introduction to Tarzan. It takes place in more modern times, and Jane was French in it. I watched it again a few years ago, and it was definitely not as good as I remember it being. But as a kid I found it thrilling, used to stay up until 3 am every Saturday to watch it!

my usual tuesday kinda day
oh wow, look who's here. me again. venting, thinking i'm going to have some reflective introspection moment only to get back and let myself fall deeper into the hole i dig myself. exactly. i know what i'm doing. and i can't even blame my home or my family. because i'm given space and time and all the warm comfort i needed. it's all me. i could blame my habit or some kind of mental illness but i'm not diagnosed and at this point that's just me trying to pick at something to blame.
i wrote a lot about how i'm so flawed and complain about myself and my life a lot. but there's not enough guilt. maybe i felt guilty when i wrote it, but all of it gone when i slept. the morning always fresh, though a bit clueless with all the options of what kind of distraction i'm going to sink deep into.
i've tried books. i don't read books, but if it's a distraction, i can dedicate weeks switching books. i've tried manga. andi i liked mangas, all the tropes and all the pretty art of works that i mostly read pirated because... i'm not exactly working and i don't know if i could afford subscription prices. i should work and let myself face the reality of how hard it is to make money but here i am. talking big and doing nothing. what else have i tried. oh. i've tried games, too. rhythm games, genshin and later on honkai. they're fun and immersive. i've tried netflix, movies or shows in general. and since i'm a marathon kind of guy, what else is there to do than to binge watch most of the series i found interesting?
i've tried lots but not anything productively. well, i tried doing doodling and sketching random things as a hobby. couldn't commit. what else? huh... i don't remember most of it. look at that. i haven't tried much. i didn't do things to improve myself. and no matter how long of a paragraphs i could write about how i really wanted to improve. i don't know if myself would commit to it. that's how much i don't believe in what i could do. 'coz it's so easy for me to bail. to ditch. to leave. to run away. to postpone. to be still. stagnant.
i'm such a hypocrite. fuck myself, am i right. fuck it all. but i can't afford to fuck it all life like that. because... because i spent time pursuing academics... and... and... it's just... i should be more desperate to run past the finishing line. but instead it's more of a whatever-ish kind of vibes from myself. it's so. weird.
it's easy to imagine how liberating doing such an fuck it all moves in life. i can't do fuck it all for a final year project of college because else how can't i graduate?! i can't do fuck it all for post-graduation plans because how else can i get a job? i can't do fuck it all for even coming out and saying i'm gay because i don't have a job and also i don't want to like be apart of my family and be estranged for it. i can't do fuck it all for shaving my head because i'm too much of a coward to make it like a symbolic kind of acts to make a fresh things to start my life with, and for me to just think of it like leaving my burden away with the hair being shed and cut. i can't do fuck it all because maybe i don't want to fuck life itself. i have hopes. but fuck me for not holding onto that strong enough to push myself forward. to force me to walk and do stuff. fuck it all. i said. fuck it...
what even i'm saying. i had this outline in my head about how i want to start the post of vent. so basically. i watched two seasons of the white lotus and it's such a good show. tense. funny. s1 definitely funnier than s2. it's so unhinged it's good. and ahem theo james. yes. um. what? no. i mean, i love series with ensemble cast. and the way it all lead up into the chaos that is the finale? *chef kiss* methinks.
okay, what else. ok prelude done. uh... then i was going to link it with why i was watching the white lotus in the first place. yes, yes. i was thinking of a show that is similiar to nine perfect strangers. and this one shows up right there. better, tbh. so... yep. and why was i watching nine perfect strangers in the first place? well, i was looking for bobby cannavale's other works since i liked his character in the station agent, joe. i think. i wrote a post about it. thinking it's going to be my. like. last movie before i face the world and my problems that i hid under my bed. and look am i here! you know what, why was i watching that in the first place? well, because i was watching kembang api on netflix, and was downright UNDERWHELMED by it. like. really. zero chemistry whatsoever. I'M NOT HATING ON LOCAL MOVIES!! i was intrigued by this movie and the premise. time loop? yea i'm a time loop trope enthusiast. ensemble cast? (i mean it's like 4, but still they're strangers) ok yea i like that too. and yea whatever. why was i watching this movie in the first place? becasue i was tired reading books.
and why was i reading books in the first place. exactly. distraction. fuck me.
ugh. i could talk about it for hours!!!! i should talk about it, actually. but like. with real people. not a void. but i like the void too.
currently? i'm thinking of what kind of lines i'm going to write? am i leaning into the oh i'm so scared of myself and the future or, would it be more into the well i don't think i cared anymore or stuff like that. but then i ended up thinking about what am i going to write? how do i want to be perceived when someone reads this like duh this is a venting blog no one is supposed to read this.
whatever...
how can i practice self-compassion when i'm so ignorant to my own responsibility? when i basically ditched myself? when i... i let myself be in this kind of situation again and again. there's no solution to a problem that i am not willing to work to solve. am i not willing? i'd like to think i am but i don't know how. no, scratch that. i am too ignorant to be willing. i don't know anymore.
maybe it's my hungry stomach writing. whatever... ugh... i'm reminded on the monthly reflection thing and the monthly spotify playlist too. see how commited i am to it whole? ahh....

UPDATE! Been a few weeks, so here we go. I've ventured into non-BL dramas for a little bit. I finished Vincenzo on Netflix and OH MY GOD!! It was amazing. Highly recommend! I also watched True Beauty on Viki. Super cute and angsty! And everyone was right, both men were swoonworthy. I even read through the entire webtoon to see how it would have ended if there was a second season.
Ok, back to BL. I watched My Tooth Your Love and it was adorable. The couple, Andy and Yujin, were so good together. Fully enjoyed, but I could not stop seeing Sam Lin whenever I looked at Yujin. I just couldn't help it and I'm ok with it.
Between Us came to an end and well....it was a bit underwhelming, but not why you'd think. The story didn't really fall into the normal tropes in BL, in my opinion. It was a straight up love story. There it a normal drama. People complain when queer stories are not told like "straight" ones and then people are complaining when this one was. You can't please everyone. I was underwhelmed because there were too many couples. There were 5 couples. FIVE! And with only 12 episodes, there was not enough time. As cute of couple as BeePrince were, it just didn't seem to fit. They could have been cut out and their time could have been given to the others. At least with DeanPharm and PruekManow they had time UWMA, but WanTul didn't get enough time. You have to grumpy and sassy would have been so fun to watch.
I watched Lovely Writer and man! I was so much. It was too much. I understand that it was supposed to be a commentary on the BL industry, much like War of Y was last year, but they crammed too many tropes into one show, into one storyline. You name the trope it was in there. Grumpy/sunshine, fan culture, lying/deception, hidden agenda, childhood friends, only one bed, hidden relationship, love triangle, soul mates, closeted parent etc. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it was so much. I kept waiting for another one to pop up. I will say one thing, KaoUp have got kissing down! Damn! I was impressed!
UPDATE!!! Ok, its been a while since I’ve posted and I have not stopped watching. Bed Friends was not what I was expecting. I thought it was gonna be sexy, which it was, and fluffy, which it was. What I was not expecting was the trauma that they wrote into it. Uffda! I loved the chemistry between Net and James, they really are adorable. I wasn’t big fan of Yim’s character, his voice grated a bit, but I love Tutor and him together, so I’m excited to see their show next.
I finally watched Roommates of Poongduck 304 and fell in love with Ji Woong and Seo Bin. Their chemistry was really sweet and Ji Woong was so good. The angst was just the right amount and I wish they had left in the finale kiss as is, but what can you do.
Be Loved in House : I Do was a little on the cringe side, only because of the initial set-up. No one can date or get married if they work at the workshop. Little weird, but the last two episodes make up for it. Aaron plays shy and bumbling really well in episode 12 and Hank plays heartbroken to the hilt. I will be watching my favorite bits of that one again.
As toxic as it may be, the only reason I watched History 4: Close to You was because of Michael An who plays Hsing Ssu. I just think he is beautiful. His storyline involving his step-brother...eek. I was never a fan of the step-brothers trope and I am probably not going to be, but I didn't mind this one. The other couple was just chaos. They do fight well, but a one-week anniversary, blech. I don't like that in any kind of story.
I watched a few Japan BL’s; Jack O’ Frost, The End of the World With You, and Beautiful Man 1 and 2. No lightness is these, aside from a few comedic moments. These are your more grown-up BL’s. I do like that episodes were short so I can watch them in one day. The relationships were a bit more uneven, not toxic per se, but one was definitely subservient to the other. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed them, but….. I will say that Beautiful Man was beautiful, pardon the pun. I managed to watch both seasons in one sitting.
I am only periodically checking in with Chains of Heart and Love Syndrome III, one is just confusing and the other is really toxic, but I want to see what happens. NanMac intrigues me. I know it shouldn't. Sue me. Plus the actor who plays Mac is so beautiful!
The Korean’s BL’s this year are gonna get their own post because reasons!
Recommendations are still welcome!!
Anyone? Really?
Really?!
Why did no one tell me that watching KinnPorsche was like a gateway drug? I never watched a BL series before and now I have subscribed to three streaming services exclusively showing Asian dramas. Not to mention the two dozen or so new accounts I’m following on Instagram!
I’ve watched KinnPorsche, all of TharnType, I’m caught up on Unforgotten Night, and I just started CutiePie. And my watchlist just keeps getting longer!
A little warning would have been nice, it’s all in sayin’, because I have no chill.
UPDATE! Cutie Pie was better than I thought it would be. Don’t Say No was a hot mess….that I watched in one day. And the angst in Love Mechanics is killing me. Like I said…NO CHILL!
UPDATE UPDATE! Bad Buddy was so good. Not enough kissing…but that says more about me than the show 😁. Old Fashioned Cupcake was so sweet and realistic. Loved it.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! On my God…Love Mechanics. Oh my GOD! Loved it on so many different levels. YinWar…such a great couple. I love them both…equally…and completely. And JimmySea in Vice Versa are gonna break my heart, I just know it. Sea Tawinan is A-Dor-Able!
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! Watched Why R U and phew…ZeeSaint. I need a drink after that. Jumped right into Love by Chance season 1, because Saint is adorable, and some parts were pretty cringy, but I am in LOVE with Perth. I want to watch everything he’s done. I am also full-on obsessed with Love in the Air! I get upset when the episode is over. Hopefully this feeling lasts.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! I had to stop and restart Love by Chance 2. I hated that they essentially retconned TinCan and started over. I thought they left it a great place at the end of Season 1. Probably didn’t have enough material to start from there for the second season and tried to stretch it out. Oh well, I really only watched it for Perth anyway. Love him so much! Tum and Tar’s relationship still makes me feel icky. They did it better in TharnType a little, but here it was worse. I’m just gonna float in AePete for a little while before I find another ship to ruin me. Hoping for a third season, I need Ae and Pete back together on screen.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! Well, I was introduced to OffGun with Not Me. The story was really good, I watched almost the whole thing just today, and I liked the development of the relationships. I only have one gripe to make. The only full-on declaration of love (i.e I love you) came from a couple that had like four scenes and never fully were together on screen. REALLY?! Don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of pretty words that meant love, but an actual “I Love You” came from a guy with a crush.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! Ok, this week I watched Theory of Love with OffGun. I loved it! I love really angsty stories anyway and this checked all the boxes. Story was well done, none of the characters were super annoying; all round good one. Unforgotten Night….ugh! I just can’t. After the tenth time Kamol called Kim his lover, I was tapped out. The story was mess and acting was not good. I love trashy as much as the next person, but I couldn’t do it. I will say that KhomBaiboon was adorable and I was hoping for more of them. It seemed like everyone was just uncomfortable in their roles. And I am the only one who is loving ViceVersa? It’s a slow burn, but I love everything about it. Plus it brought Perth back! My heart flipped when he came on screen. I ADORE HIM! And Love in the Air is NOT disappointing. It kills me to wait a week for an episode. Boss and Noeul are killing it and I have a feeling that Peat and Fort are going to as well. I can’t wait until they are all interacting!!! And I may have watched “the scene” a few times by now. I can’t help myself.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! I wasn’t going to update until the weekend, but I just watched all of Semantic Error and y’all! To all the people that recommended this one…THANK YOU!!!! It was so so so good! I loved it from start to finish! I need more of them! I was talking to the TV it was that good. I think I haven’t done that since first season of Ted Lasso. It gave me the same feelings of Lasso, like a warm hug! I’m going to bed now with a light heart.
WEEKLY UPDATE!!! This week I watched Star in My Mind and Star in Your Heart. I had been seeing clips KluenDao popping up my YouTube suggestions and I looked right up my alley. I have always been a sucker for mutual pining and jealous bouts. Not to mention the main protagonist being lusted after by at least four different people at one point. What? It’s a guilty pleasure. JoongDunk were good and they have great chemistry. Some of the dialogue was little cringy, but I am poor barometer for that. I think The Notebook is terrible, mainly because of the dialogue. And honestly the only reason I watched the sequel was to see how it ended. It was a little boring, sorry. Also, I knew the twist in Vice Versa was gonna happen. I knew they were gonna be separated, but that does not mean I was not heartbroken when it happened.
UPDATE! It has been a while since I last updated, so here we go. Vice Versa ended and I loved it. It was completely different and beautiful to watch. I agree with a lot of others, I wanted some of Tess and Tun living in other world, but JimmySea were so lovely. And I can not wait to see what else Sea does.
I watched SOTUS and SOTUS S as recommended by a commenter. I really liked it and SingtoKrist were a great couple, I have crushes on both now in varying degrees. Not a fan of bullies so it was hard to sit through the first few episodes. The push and pull between Kongpob and Arthit was a great enemies to lovers. I mostly watched the second season because there was angst coming and I am an angst whore. It was bit boring, but they were good.
Love in the Air ended and I loved the whole thing. FortPeat were amazing in their half of the season. Sky’s love letter was realistic and not over the top lovey, which is a huge pet peeve for me. Peat played his PTSD so well. It was played really well into the story and was believable. I may have also bought the presale on the special episode and preordered the box set. Never done either before, hopefully everything works out. 😬
I am LOVING Between Us and WinTeam/BounPrem are amazing. I had seen them on in passing for awhile but I hadn’t really watched them, but DAMN! I also watched Until We Meet Again to see the other half of Between Us and I have some feelings. It was a great story, angsty and bittersweet and uplifting…but Dean is a dick! I know it is an unpopular opinion, but I can’t help it. Ohm is graet actor and very beautiful, but….he was always pushing Pharm to do things when he wasn’t ready for, whether it be meeting In’s sister or learning about their shared past. I don’t know. He was really selfish in my opinion. Also what was up with Sin’s wig? How can they make someone as gorgeous as Ja creepy looking with that wig. And poor Fluke! That poor kid probably used buckets of Visine and the reason he was so small was because he was very dehydrated. Also their family trees were really hard to keep track of. I’m still not sure who is and isn’t related to who. The world is not that small. How did I not know that all of my favorite BL actors were in one show? But it was a fun surprise each time another favorite popped up.
UPDATE!! Not sure if anyone still reading this to this point, but I’m gonna keep adding to it. I watched Cherry Blossoms After Winter and I liked it. It was a little on light on the intimacy, but it was sweet. I just really wanted more kisses, I can’t help it. I really liked Taesung and Haebom’s relationship. Sucker for protective boyfriends. It did feel a little rushed at the end, but worth the watch.
Finally watched We Best Love 1 & 2 after seeing people raving about it. It checked all my boxes; hidden/secret crush, bickering, really sweet relationship, little bit of jealousy, break up then make up, and great kisses. Definitely worth the time. The secondary couples were kind of glossed over, but SamYu make up for it. Loved it. EDIT! A quick addition to my We Best Love watch. If you can watch the Special Edition version, DO IT! Shots linger a little longer, some scenes are longer, and some things are explained a little better. If you thought Sam broke your heart before, ohhh just wait.
Keep the recommendations coming! :)

2022 Top Films/Series/Books/Comics
I watched and read heaps of stuff last year, so if you need some recommendations, I've chosen my absolute favourites and compiled them in a list.
Enjoy!
Films:
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
This would have to be one of the best films of the year (and of all time). With an amazing cast and a strong theme, this film will reassure you that even if you don't matter to the multiverse, you matter so much to the ones you love.
Ngeri Ngeri Sedap (2022)
A heartwarming Indonesian film about how traditions mean very little without the love of your family. With tight structuring and a cohesive narrative, the ending is incredibly satisfying as it brings everything (and everyone) together.
Darklands (2022)
An incredible Australian micro-budget thriller that has you hooked throughout. This film really deserves more attention as it has a gripping story, great action and terrifying moments.
All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)
I could write a whole essay on this film. Everything about it is masterful and the growing weight of the inevitable makes this film so heartbreaking yet tremendous.
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
A funny yet sad film about two friends having a row. It may not seem like much from the synopsis, but there is so much to enjoy, from the humorous dialogue, to the quaint Irish village setting, and to the incredible cast.
Series
Peacemaker S01 (2022-)
With so many mediocre superhero shows being released last year, this really outshined them all. A fun yet compelling series, James Gunn knows how to make you love a character you didn't know or care about before watching.
Derry Girls S03 (2018-2022)
The final season offered a perfect ending to this iconic series. I'm going to miss these girls (and the wee English fella) so definitely one to keep on my rewatch list.
1899 S01 (2022-)
This show immediately draws you in with horror and tension bubbling below the surface. The unfolding mystery reaches a satisfying conclusion, but alas Netflix has cancelled it so the cliffhanger is left unresolved.
Bee and Puppycat S01 (2022-)
As a fan of the original webseries, this adaptation/reboot is wonderful. The show is quirky and colourful, offering a respite from all the edgy and crude adult animated shows.
Andor S01 (2022-)
Even if you don't like Star Wars, you can enjoy this for what it is. An incredible sci-fi thriller series, with great writing and a powerful message. The series succeeds because it makes everything feel personal without getting lost in aesthetics or nostalgia-bait.
Books
Beauty is a Wound (2002) by Eka Kurniawan
An incredible magical realism novel written by Indonesian writer Eka Kurniawan (I read the English version translated by Annie Tucker). It is gritty yet whimsical as it blends history with fairytales.
The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes (2021) by Zoë Playdon
A great overview of Transgender history in the UK while also focusing on this one significant case involving a Scottish lord. Once you learn the history, you can understand why there is so much paranoia around transpeople in the UK.
Fireside Coast (2022) by Claire McKenna
The final installment in the Monstrous Heart trilogy, this novel offers a great ending to this gothic series. With the fleshed out setting, deeply-flawed characters, and gruesome nautical gothic details, I was engrossed from the beginning.
Deathless (2011) by Catherynne M. Valente
This was on my TBR for a while and I'm glad I finally read it. A wonderful retelling of the Koschei tale, that blends Russian history and fairytales. I was still thinking about the ending weeks after I had finished it.
Project Hail Mary (2021) by Andy Weir
This novel made me laugh and cry, which is the best experience I can have honestly. A great story with high yet personal stakes for the main character.
Comics
Monstress (2015-)
I started the series a couple of years ago and have loved it ever since. With a stunning art style, high stakes, majority female cast of characters, and eldritch horrors, what more could you want?
Talgard (2019-)
Vol.2 was released last year and proved to be just as worthwhile as the first. These short comics made by Australian writers and artists offer humour, fantasy and a moral at the end of it all.
Retelling the Hobbit (2020-)
A beautiful little webcomic that captures the whimsical world of Tolkien's The Hobbit. It was love at first sight with this one.
Witchy (2014-)
Another webcomic (now published traditionally) that offers a unique world where magic is just a gift someone can exploit. The story is gripping and the characters each have their own struggles to overcome.
The Wizard of Cedel (2022-)
A webcomic that I accidentally stumbled across but immediately loved. The art style is charming and the characters loveable. I can't wait to see how the story develops.

THE FILL IN MASTERLIST
MAIN MASTERLIST
Moodboard by @bucksdolll
"Toby seems to be warming up to the temporary pretty well." One of the Moms whispered to yours. "Bucky? He's a sweetheart. Isn't he, dear?"
You looked away from where Bucky was being swarmed by the younger kids and a couple of their older sisters you'd went to high school with; your mom giving you a sweet smile. "A big softie."
"He's great with Toby, and is sweet on a little miss someone." She grinned, poking your side as you got two bottles of water from the cooler. "Well, aren't you lucky." One of the other mom's chided. "Extremely."
"Go save him, poor boy looks like he's ready to combust." Your mom sighed, fixing a few things on the table that held cake and various types of snacks.
Turning on your heels, you went to where he was stood letting Toby babble on about his arm. "Can I borrow you for a sec?"
Bucky gave a bright smile and nodded, letting you guide him to the open back door. "I think he's have a good time showing off his super cool babysitter." You teased, handing him some extra drinks for the cooler. "Does he ever run out of energy?"
Shaking your head, you looked over the way the dark blue t-shirt clung to his skin, the dips of his muscular torso visible even through the wet fabric. "You're not gonna take that off are ya." You said, tugging the hem.
He pressed his lips into a thin line and shook his head. "Nothing wrong with being a little modest, Buck." You smiled, noticing how he chewed on the inside of his cheek. "Don't wanna, uh, scare a bunch of kids."
"Or have their dads chasing you down because, the wives are gawking at you." You said, scrunching your nose up at him. He breathed a laugh and shook his head again, leaning down to peck a simple kiss to your lips. "Yeah. I don't think that's gonna happen."
After presents were opened and cake was ate, you and Bucky hid away in the kitchen again for a few moments away from the crowd of kids and parents. "You look beautiful, sunshine." He said, adjusting the thin strap of your dress. "Don't look too bad yourself, Buck."
Your fingers wrapped around the cool metal of his dog tags, tugging them so he'd lean down; his lips ghosting across yours when he turned his head to the opening back door.
"James! There you are." Your mom breathed, pulling the door shut behind her. "Mallory just extended her vacation for another 3 weeks. Please, tell me you're available?" She clasped her hands together and gave him pleading eyes.
"Yeah, of course." Bucky smiled, nodding his head. "Great, perfect. A few of Toby's friends are staying, so I hope they don't bother you too much." She said, looking to you.
"I'm sure Bucky wouldn't mind staying to help, right?" You looked up at him, patting his chest lightly. His eyebrows raised and he nodded, swallowing thickly. "I'll stay."
"Miranda, I've been looking for you." Darlene, one of the most judgemental moms, said, Toby and her son following in behind her. "I've been meaning to ask you- where's Matthew? Shouldn't he be here instead of-" She stopped when she saw Bucky, still standing very close to you.
"He had work." Your mom said with a forced smile. "No wonder it didn't work out, that's all he thinks about." Darlene said clicking her tongue. "Now, you're stuck having to pay a babysitter who-"
"Yeah, I'm gonna stop you right there. Toby, go play outside." Bucky looked down at your hard expression, putting his hand on Toby's shoulder to walk with him into the backyard. "That's not an appropriate thing to talk about at a kid's birthday party. He is eleven, he doesn't need to know why his dad didn't show up."
"It's just- this new babysitter of yours is so-"
"Sweet? Shy, handsome, good with kids? If none of those are what you are about to say, then don't say it." She looked at you dumbfounded, glancing at your mom. "You're not gonna let her talk like this are you?"
Your mom shrugged, leaning against the kitchen counter. "She's grown. I don't dictate what she says. Besides, she's right."
"Unbelievable."
As the families dispersed, going home once the sun started to set, your mom looking exhausted as she cleaned the kitchen. "I've got it, go on to bed. You've had your stress fill for the day."
She gave you a soft thank you before shuffling away to the hallway, Bucky walking in from the chaos filled living room. "Make it out alive?" You teased, picking up the trash that littered the counter. "Barely. Need help?"
His hand rested on the small of your back, pink tinting his cheeks. "You could move the couch for me? Put this to use." You teased, fingertips running up the dark metal of his left arm before wrapping around his wrist.
You finished cleaning the kitchen and went to check on the state of the living room; Bucky laying out the blankets and pillows on the floor for the kids.
"Can we watch Nightmare on Elm Street?" Toby asked, looking up at you with hopeful eyes as you picked up the remote. "No, it's too scary for you." You said, clicking through the movie selections. "Please?"
Bucky chuckled when you rolled your eyes and nodded. "One scream out of any of you and I'm switching it to lullabies."
It didn't take long.
Not even 30 minutes into the movie you were switching it to Toy Story, ignoring the protests that sounded from them.
Another 30 minutes and they were all passed out, sprawled out on the blankets and snoring as you tugged Bucky with you to the kitchen.
"Knew that was gonna happen." You said, breathing a laugh and lifting yourself onto the counter.
Bucky moved to stand in front of you, your knees parting on instinct to let him stand between them. "Steve said he'll have your car done in a couple days. Want me to take you back to your apartment tomorrow? So, you don't have to take the train."
Nodding, you wrapped your arms around his neck loosely; pulling his lips to yours. You all but melted completely in his touch, cool, smooth metal on your right thigh a beautiful contrast to the warm skin on your left.
"I'm so fucking lucky..." He muttered against your lips before pressing his tongue against yours.
"Ew, stop eating my sisters face." You breathed a laugh at Toby's tired voice, looking over your shoulder at him. "Whst are you doing up?" You teased, turning slightly to see him better. "You know I don't like to admit when you're right..."
You were getting restless. Wanting more every time you'd get near Bucky; more of the sweetness of his kiss and gentle, adoring touches.
But hwahented things taken slow. Which you fully understood; and with the group of kids in the front room, it wasn't going to go far anyways.
"Scared?" He nodded softly and you slid off of the counter. "Calm that down and come watch some tv." You smiled at Bucky, gesturing to the strain against his athletic shorts.
Bucky's face burned as he watched you usher Toby back into the living room, staying back for a moment before following.
"Don't you dare tell anyone about this." Toby said, pointing a finger at Bucky that made him look to where you were holding the boy's hand from your spot, laid on the loveseat. "You're about as threatening as the neighbors ankle biter." Bucky retorted, sitting in the recliner.
You had turned some random TV show on, suddenly becoming extra quiet within an hour.
Bucky glanced from the screen to see you sleeping peacefully, Toby's hand barely hanging onto yours as Bucky stepped over one of the kids to grab the blanket from the back of the loveseat.
Gently laying it over you, he leaned down to press a kiss to your cheek; biting back a smile when you subconsciously tilted your head to follow his lips.
There's always tomorrow.

OKAY SO I FINISHED THE GOLDFINCH (spoilers btw) AND I HAD TO REST A BIT BEFORE I RAMBLED BUT OMG I LOVED IT SO MUCH.
First of all, his mom. Loved her, mourned her. When she was in the museum and she was like “it’s crazy but I think I could spend the rest of my life staring at the same 5 paintings, I can’t think of a better way to go insane.” That���s not an exact quote but like SO TRUE.
Then Welty in the museum and Pippa and omg like him just casually being like my mom loved this painting and this guy wants me to take it? Hell yeah I’ll do it. But also, yeah I’d do it too.
Him staying at Andy’s? HIS DAD SHOWING UP??? Oh my lord when he met Hobie and started learning about antiques, I love them and also that later Boris calls him Potter and Hobie’s name is James? I was like, yeah that’s his real dad. But the fact that his dad showed up with Xandra and he’d been cheating on Theo’s mom? Outrageous.
Then BORIS. Do those two have severe issues? Yeah. Did I love their relationship with all of my heart? Also yeah. Like when Theo is leaving to go back to NY and they KISS and then they like both know that he isn’t saying the thing he really wants to say which is I love you? WHAT?!?! SO GOOD. Like I love Boris and Theo’s relationship and then how Pippa sort of plays into it. I mean like especially when Boris shows up in NY later and Theo just immediately trusts him. Like he does basically everything Boris asks of him without question. It’s adorable. Honestly I feel like Pippa was more of a left over of his mother and his love for her was obv not normal (hopefully that’s a generally accepted opinion).
But yeah then him almost marrying Kitsey? Also him charging so much extra on antiques? I’m not gonna lie I’d do the same thing. But then Amsterdam???? MURDER??? BORIS STOLE THE PAINTING?????
Omg and then the end. The last few pages made me cry and then I sat down and wrote a draft of my college application essay about the lines “we can’t choose our hearts. We don’t get to choose the people we are.” I’m not even kidding. Also I’m pretty sure you said that AHB was inspired a bit by this book and I could tell when reading The Goldfinch, in a good way obviously. I’m not even joking I feel like you’re writing reminds me of Donna Tartts. Anyway I’m never going to stop thinking about this book <3 I love you for recommending it
❗️The Goldfinch and Art Heist Spoilers Below!!!❗️
ohmygosh ahhh!! (i'm sorry this took me so long to get to, I had to wait until I was on my computer so I could TYPE hahaha)
Theo's mom is so amazing :,) I love her too :,)))
WELTY IN THE MUSEUM (reg's death in ahb! is HEAVILY inspired by Welty's death scene) and poor theo is so so naive in those moments too when he knows that Welty's not breathing but then he tries to be quiet as he's leaving anyway "just in case he was asleep" :(((((((
DUDE AND THEN WHEN HE GOES TO FREAKING ANDY'S UR LIKE,,, MAYBE HE'LL BE OKAY-ISH and I can talk abt andy 5ever how he always was afraid of water and hated sailing and he died in a boating ACCIDENT LIKE WHAT ?? ALSO THEO WANTING TO BE ADOPTED BY THEM ALSO ALSO when theo was as good and as polite as humanly possible bc he didn't want to inconvenience the barbours and then when he meets Mr. Barbour back in nyc after vegas and he's like "no free hand-outs" I SOBBED I LITERALLY SOBBED SO HARD
HOBIE BEING THEO'S FATHER FIGURE YEAH YOU ARE SO SO RIGHT AND HE'S SO SWEET AND KIND AND JUST A LITTLE RESTORER :,))) PLEASE
okay yeah!!!! the fact that his dad showed up w Xandra and they took his mom's stuff :,((( please i hate them, i hate them so much it breaks my heart
THEN BORIS AND OKAY THE WAY THAT THEY ARE IN LOVE! but like theo has internalized homophobia to the MAX and the way he's jealous of Boris' girlfriend like soooOOooo jealous and they looked out for each other !
Pippa!! Pippa is the morphine lollipop for theo. just enough of his past life, just enough of his mother to dull the pain for a little while but it's never enough!! and it's unhealthy!!!!! (yeah theo is like obsessed w her in a not healthy way :( it wasn't love)
KITSEY WAS THE WORST DECISION EVER! BECAUSE WDYM UR GONNA MARRY THE GIRL WHO WAS LIKE A LITTLE SISTER TO YOU ??? TO MAKE MRS. BARBOUR HAPPY? YEAHH,,,YEAHHHH ALSO THE EARRINGS HIS MOMS EARRINGS THAT HE WANTED HER TO WEAR I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT 5EVER TOO(also so many people like kitsey but i cANNOT stand her. at all.)
and then AND THEN theo charging so much for antiques and when he tells hobie finally and goes to the kitchen to get water and he's like "that's what my father always did" and when his mom was like "you sound just like your father" right before she died and when theo was like "i hated looking just like my father" SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALLLLLLL
AND THEN AMSTERDAM!!! AMSTERDAM AND MURDER!! AND THEO AND BORIS AND HIM IN HIS SICK PANICKED STATE W NO PASSPORT SITS IN MY BONES AND MAKES THEM FEEL SO HEAVY AND WATERLOGGED THE AMSTERDAM PART OF TGF IS ONE OF THE BEST (and people say they didn't like it and that it dragged on which HURTS but yk)
when i found out boris stole the fucking painting,,,my heart like plummeted in my chest,,,,,like that's why he didn't go w theo to nyc,,,that's why he got involved w all these people,,, to get theo's painting back and THE WAY THEO JUST FORGIVES HIM?? THEY'RE IN LOVE IDC IDC
ALSO POPCHYK AHH I LOVE THAT DOG THE MOST!!!!!
OKAY AND THEN WHEN THEO IS FREAKING WRITING THOSE LETTERS TO EVERYONE IN AMSTERDAM AND COMPARES HIMSELF TO THE FREAKING PUPPY HIM AND HIS MOM FOUND AND COULDN'T SAVE AND HIS MOM ALWAYS CALLED HIM "PUPPY" LITERALLY CRYING AND THROWING UP AGAIN
ahb! was inspired in part by the goldfinch and the fact that you even said my writing was remotely close to donna tartt's make me TEAR UP YOU HAVE NO IDEA I WILL THINK ABT THIS COMPLIMENT FOR THE REST OF MY LITTLE LIFE
IM SO SO SO GLAD YOU LIKED THE GOLDFINCH!!!! AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING UR THOUGHTS WITH ME!! <33333 AHHH (so sorry for the extremely over enthused ramblings on my part!! <333 )
