Airports make me sooo fucking horny bro. Send asks?

la i know we're texting about this as we speak but also: GIVE ME SOME XARRY THOUGHTS. TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS 'GET LAIDOVER' AS YOU SO ELOQUENTLY PUT IT

listen, first of all i gotta marvel at the logistics of this. i see two possibilities here:

1. harry, who was a multi-millionaire before he even finished being a dirtbag teenager, has never once booked his own travel, and has only the vaguest idea about North American geography/airline hubs. cancun and pennsylvania are on the same continent, right? so in his mind it makes perfect sense to get dicked down in philly en route to london. pity the full stop functionary who got the task of booking that itinerary.

2. the second alternative, and my favorite, is that ace manager jeff knows exactly what harry needs. he knows that harry’s going to be lit up from a successful video shoot and he’s got to blow off some steam somehow or he’s going to be impossible for whatever they’ve got to do back in london. jeff books flights accordingly and calls xander: “layover’s from six to eleven, pick us up at departures and make a dinner reservation somewhere.” jeff ain’t no amateur, he knows that’s all he’s gotta say.

xander does exactly what you would expect a douchebag lax bro in his 30s to do: he makes a reservation at his country club. (once you hit 30 it’s not your dad’s country club anymore, it’s yours.) (P.S. also it appears that we may be talking about the purported oldest country club in the USA, can you imagine anything more insufferable?) xander doesn’t even consider the dress code because he’s never been out of country club dress code a single day of his life, dude looks like he was born with boat shoes and a collared shirt.

soooo, it’s a little awkward when harry flops into the front seat of his BMW and after the obligatory fistbump-turned-into-bro-hug xander realizes harry’s basically made of 90 percent bare tanned leg. this is not going to fly in the main dining room, maybe he can talk the bartender into seating them in a corner somewhere they’re not likely to be spotted by the membership committee?

they valet the car at the club. which is a little disappointing to harry, since he was completely up for blowing xander in the backseat before dinner. however he does recognize that it would have been a little awkward to let jeff out at the door and make him wait for them at the bar. it’s much easier to sit down and order a cheeseburger (country club food is exactly right for harry, it’s safe and predictable) and search for his straw with his tongue until xander finally gets up from the table and harry knows it’s going to be less than five minutes until he’s up against the wall in the country club powder room, cheek pressed against the pink and green floral wallpaper, white shorts on the floor, jeff outside guarding the door.

Hey yeah so I'm pausing the countdown posts for a couple of days. I'm out of town (currently laidover in Denver) and I didn't bring my computer with me and, like a dumbass, I didn't think to make a queue. I'll pick up with the countdown on Tuesday when I get back. Sorry~

cameron’s insta live stories — the xarry get-laidover — jeff’s west coast daddy issues — the bike rental story, possibly delivered at .5x speed for maximum effect — a tantalizingly niche fact about some minor associate of the azoffs or member of harry’s crew, to be stored away in your magpie’s nest of oddly specific minor character knowledge

omg. i feel KNOWN. this is like when i saw that tumblr post that described INTJ as “darwin heart of stone quote” or the first time i read the description for enneagram 5, and felt my soul laid bare. each of these is devastating in its specificity. .5x speed!!!!!
