#he's such a dweeb and i love them already xoxo

“Nah, saying it doesn’t feel good. I’ll just think it.” He allowed a moment of silence so that he could shift his body closer to her, sliding his arm around his best friend and pulling her into his side. Cassía had been one of his core people from a young age and seeing this repeated cycle of her being treated like this by guys was exhausting. Sure, Parker was known to be a player, but it sure as hell wasn’t in his being to treat anyone like that. Sometimes it felt like she gravitated to people who didn’t appreciate everything she was and was blind to those who did. “Don’t get it twisted, Cas…the ice cream is for me. I’ve got emotions too, you know.” He gave her shoulder a little nudge and started into the ice cream before handing her his spoon. “I’d like to say I’d fight them, but my fighting days ended in high school. Suspensions really build character and I’m a changed man. Naturally, I would egg their houses, but you would have to drive. Or we can just go on a tour of town and you can hang out of the sunroof with a carton of eggs. I’m not opposed to either option.” His heart sank when he heard her last words, and he immediately moved to face her, his hand dropping to take hold of hers.

“What’d I say about talking like that? We’re not fuckin’ doing it, that’s what. You might not have the best ass in this room, but you’ve got the best personality in this room. You’re fucking incredible, Cassía. We’re not letting some dumb ass guy let you think otherwise.” Pausing, he used his thumbs to gently wipe her tear-stained cheeks. “Now say it with me or I’m going to have to make you eat four spoonfuls of ice cream. ‘I’m Cassía Dos Santos Silva and I’m fucking incredible’.”

     "You can say it, I deserve it." When it came to dating, Cassía was often treated as a piece of meat rather than someone with a heart. She was someone that got her hopes up fairly easily, and maybe that was due to appreciating the promise of a person. Growth was a big deal to her, as it had shaped her own life so much. It was what she wanted in a partner but most seemed to lose interest either after they tried and failed to get into her pants or actually managed to. Parker had been solid at her side since they were kids. Her mother used to always ask why she didn't date that cute neighbor boy, and her response had always been that they were too good of friends. "You know I'm only going to eat two spoonfuls." A gesture toward his old habit of bringing along ice cream. Cassía was into keeping her figure tight. For herself and because she liked to look good. "What would you do to put them in their place? It's not like it's going to change anything, Park. I'm still nothing more than a pretty face with a great ass."

So... uh... *shuffles feet, smiles innocently* If you haven't already gotten this request, Gracie... I need some Chril. Badly.

I’ve been waiting for you.

Who said “I love you” firstExpressed the sentiment: Chris. (Drunkenly, and immediately followed by a not-very-skillful attempt to backtrack.) Said the words: Phil. (The morning after Chris confessed he inexplicably wanted to kiss Phil, when they fell asleep in a heap on Chris’ couch after making out for hours like a pair of teenagers.)

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone backgroundBoth of them have pictures of the two of them together as their PADD wallpapers, the romantic little dweebs.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirrorThey both do, though they’re somewhat different. Phil’s are more sonnet-esque romantic (“You are my favorite reason for breathing, Christopher”) while Chris’ are…less conventional (“We need more toothpaste. Also, what’s the name of that 22nd century band you like? Love you xoxo”)

Who buys the other cheesy giftsChris. He’s so damn well-traveled, and on every planet he seems to see another little doodad that makes him think of Phil. Phil keeps every goddamn one.

Who initiated the first kissPhil. To shut Chris up.

Who kisses the other awake in the morningWhoever’s up first. Phil typically has to be up earlier than Chris, but Chris has the naturally earlier internal clock.

Who starts tickle fightsChris. He’s fucking merciless.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the showerPhil’s a little blushy and shy about it, asking if Chris has a towel. When Chris says he’s already got one, Phil pouts - well, there goes my excuse for coming in there. Chris sticks his head out from the shower curtain and says since when do you need an excuse?

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunchPhil. Chris is a workaholic with an annoying tendency to forget that he is a mere mortal who must eat. He never bitches about a working lunch, but he’ll absolutely give Chris hell if he doesn’t clean his plate.

Who was nervous and shy on the first dateOh, god, both of them, completely. Phil from a this is finally happening don’t fuck it up for yourself point; Chris from a how will this be different from dating a woman bad case of nerves point; both of them from a this is my best friend I need to do this right point. They figured out pretty quickly, though, that the nice thing about dating your best friend is that your relationship is already so well-established that your dates are much like your other hanging-out get-togethers, just with nicer clothes and better food and a more fun end to the evening.

Who kills/takes out the spidersAs previously discussed, Phil. Phil is the designated creepy-crawly manager in the Pike-Boyce household, without exception.

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunkChris. It is, in fact, how they got together in the first place, with Chris drunkenly (maudlinly) bemoaning why the hell he had the sudden urge to kiss Phil, of all godforsaken people. Phil just blinked at him for a few minutes while Chris dug himself a hole, then attempted to cover his ass. Then Phil told him to shut up and kissed him.HELLO, I LOVE CHRISTOPHER PIKE AND PHILIP BOYCE SO MUCH, THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.
