#black & gumpa

[apathetic-tortoise]

Black: You were spying on us?

White: I mean... I tailed you. Just like Gumpa taught me when we trained together

Black: *Glares at Gumpa*

Gumpa: I teach every kid I meet how to do crime. Crime is fun

Some more Black - Not Me

[bunnakit]

do you ever think about the way Gumpa forces all the boys together as a family as a direct antithesis of Black and White's parents forcing them apart??? (':

[hurlumerlu]

I find it quite simple

a little Not Me fic about Gumpa and Black (sort of) bonding over being older siblings :

It was an evening like many others. Yok and Gram had already left, Sean with one of them, or both of them, or off to one of Namo’s haunts, leaving Gumpa to clean the table like a dissatisfied housewife. Except this time, Black was still here.

"These fuckers, I swear," he said, contemplating the wasteland of dirty plates and empty bottles, unlit cigarette already firmly in mouth. "This is how you can tell they’re all only children."

Gumpa almost pointed out that Black generally didn’t stick around to help either, but decided against it : the kid talking about anything else than their next move was a rare enough occurrence. Better not nip it in the bud.

"I don’t know about that," he mused instead. "My younger brother has three siblings and I don’t think he’s picked up after himself even once in his life."

"That’s what elder siblings are for."

"Ha ! Good thing my sisters didn’t see it that way. I would have gone mad, always taking care of a four-people mess all by myself."

"Aren’t you taking care of a five-people mess right now ?"

"You’re helping me, aren’t you ?"

Black snorted. They’d brought the dishes to the courtyard and set out to clean them. "So, you’re the eldest of four ?"

"Two sisters, one brother. You ?"

"Eldest too, by an hour. He took his sweet time."

"A twin ?"

"You think ?"

"Okay, smartass." He flicked water at him. Black rolled his eyes, but said nothing. The heat of the day had lessened, and the night air was companionably warm – the silence too.

It remained that way until they were back inside, cigarette smoked, dishes stored, table wiped, and Gumpa took two beers from the fridge.

"About what we do," asked Black. "Do your siblings know ?"

Gumpa opened his bottle and swallowed a mouthfull. It gave him some time. "No. No one does. A few years ago, my sister – the oldest – was arrested for helping women get illegal abortions." He tensed despite himself, bracing for the usual comments and questions, but Black didn’t talk. He just kept looking at him with the aggressive focus typically reserved for their plans. "As you can guess, this was a pretty hard time for the family. Harder for her, of course, she’s not done building herself back up, but – if I can save my parents some worries over another child… I have to try, at least."

"But you didn’t tel your sister either. The oldest, I mean."

"Nah." He couldn’t help but smile.  "She’d try to help."

To his surprise, Black was smiling too, and raised his beer in an I���ll-drink-to-that gesture. It seemed as good a time as any to pry.

"And your brother, does he know ?"

The smile vanished like it’d never been there.

"We were separated," Black said, after a long enough moment that Gumpa had wondered if the conversation was over. "When our parents divorced.  Father took one, Mom the other. I tried to write, but I assume they intercepted my letters – don’t ask me why, I won’t answer. And don’t tell me that’s fucked up because I already know."

What was there to reply to that ? Gumpa took another beer and held it out. Black nodded curtly.

"I don’t want him anywhere near all that anyway. He’s not like me, he’s..." He gave a vague handwave, leaving it for Gumpa to figure out. Softer. Fragile. Better, maybe, as in worth more. "It’s ugly here, and it’s only gonna get worse."

There they were.

"Things getting worse, is that why you didn’t leave tonight ?"

"Nothing gets past you."

"Come on, Black."

"My roommate, my – the guy I’m crashing at, I told you about him."

"Todd."

"Hmm. He’s more crooked than I believed, I think. Or exactly as much, but I’m only facing it now."

"Black..."

"I don’t need comfort. I don’t need your input at all. I’ll deal with him if I have to, and that’s the end of it. Understood ?"

"Normally I’d tell you off for bossing me around under my roof, but you get a pass this time. Understood, I won’t meddle."

"Thanks."

"Don’t make me regret it."

"Oh, piss off."

The impulse came, unexpected : to ruffle the younger man’s hair, give him an embarassing hug. He didn’t indulge. They weren’t brothers.

"Gumpa ?"

"Yes ?"

"Can I stay here tonight ? I’ll sleep on the couch, and I’ll be gone first thing in the morning."

You can stay as long as you need, he wanted to say, but he wasn’t sure it would be well received.

"Sean might not even come back tonight. You could sleep in his bed."

"I’d rather gouge my eyes out," replied Black quite genially, and they went back to their drink.

"I met your brother the other day."

Black, of course, doesn’t answer.

"Kid just showed up at your uni, all dressed like you and ready to poke his nose into everything. He’s in over his head, and scared shitless, but he holds on for your sake. You should be proud."

Gumpa sighs. He can’t stay long – it was a bad idea, coming here, but he had to.

"I don’t know who told him about you. And I don’t know how to convince him to trust us. But I’ll look after him, you have my word. I’m trying to make him stay at the garage. Let’s hope he’s less of a loner than you."

He rises. There is nothing more to say, nothing more to do. No point in ruminating his failures. He still looks back before he lets the curtain drop.

"If he does take me up on the offer," he says. "I’ll make him room with Sean. With any luck, that’ll piss you off enough fo you to wake up."

DAD

"people in my generation never won. all i can do is encourage the new generation to fight along." HES SUCH A DAD HE'S THE DADDEST DAD

I LOVE HIM SO FREAKING MUCH

H E L L Y E A H

mmmmmm *slam poetry clicking sounds*

his knowing smile

THEY ARE BROTHERS

I LOVE THEM

GERSHKDGBHJVD DONT MIND ME LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY OVER THE FACT THAT THEIR NAMES ARE BLACK AND WHITE AND THEYRE WEARING BLACK AND WHITE

ITS JUST SO FUNNY TO ME

i also can barely fathom the fact that they are both gun atthaphan. theyre both such drastically different people. at this point they dont even look the same, and yet theyre literally played by the same person

he's such a phenomenal actor

okay, its still funny to me that Black is wearing black and White is wearing white. but what's really lovely and interesting is how they have elements of each other in their clothes.

Black has that little patch on the back of his jacket, the stitching around the jacket.

and on White, you can find Black in his jeans, his shoes, and the shadows of his clothes

OKAY, 12 MINUTES AND 47 SECONDS AND THEN THE SERIES IS OVER

HELP

[three-milkz]

I don't understand why no one talks about the fact that Black preferred being handcuffed to Sean, because he didn't want him to go looking for his little brother.😭

And Black literally questions why Gumpa made White work. I mean, White is small and he doesn't have to make a lot of effort.

[fanfictionroxs]

Please BL Gods please just let them become a happy family of three.

[blshowseditsandmemes]

White: wait black how did you wake up from the coma so quickly I checked on you the day before and you looked terrible

* black looks at him*

White: I don’t know my heart rate just came up to a high rate on its own, we’re you running that night

*Sean smirks as white chokes on some water*

Sean: you don’t wanna know what we were doing

*Black sits up and looks at them grossed out*

Black: White tell me he’s lying, I did not wake up because you guys had sex

White: I uhh gotta go

*white walks away as black is very grossed out and seans just smirking*

[apathetic-tortoise]

Gumpa: That's it, you're grounded! Gram, no adventures for you! Sean, no fighting for you! Yok, no stealing for you! And Black... oh my god, is there anything that you love?

Black: Revenge

Gumpa: No vengeance for you

Black: I was going to say "I'll get you for this," but I guess that's off the table

[pigeonriot]

sth sth gumpas "black is not afraid to die" seans "what changed u, was it the moment u almost died" blacks "those who dont fear death have never been there, ive been there and i dont want it to happen"

[imma-bunni]

I'm totally normal about the hand on neck thing Gumpa does in this fic by @manaji-throne (Black is totally normal about it too..)

[bunnakit]

it low key drives me insane that everyone in the gang has a tattoo EXCEPT Sean and i have no idea if that's coincidental or intentional (and if the latter what the reasoning would be)

[k-white]

I get people going a bit crazy over Papang aka Gumpa from Not Me being in MLC, but people... we also got Blacks and Whites dad here as well! Wens stepdad is palyed by the same actor who played B and W one!

[manaji-throne]

Tiny, tiny sneak-peak because I managed to make some progress for once 🥲
