Abed knew he wasn't the best at dealing with his emotions, often turning to his favourite sitcoms and movies for help. Especially when it came to romance. He hadn't had as much experience with it as he would've liked, so when he realised he started liking you in a romantic way, he quickly became panicked. You were part of the study group, meaning if he started liking you it could potentially ruin the dynamic of the friendship. But when Annie told him you felt the same way about him, he knew exactly what to do. Except he didn't. It wasn't working the way he had planned. He'd been reenacting an age old trope; person a makes person b so jealous that they eventually confess their feelings for person a. He started off small, making sure you'd see him catching glances at some random student in the cafeteria, and zoning out as if he'd been thinking about someone else. That was half true. To make it realistic, he'd always think about you when he pretended to zone out. When someone - normally Annie, who Abed told all about his plan - would catch him staring at someone and begin to tease him about it, he noticed how quiet you would get, how you wouldn't engage in any other conversations and would even leave because you were 'late for something else'. He didn't like it. The last thing he wanted was to know he made you upset. But no one in the movies ever stopped their plan halfway. As much as he wanted to, he didn't stop his plan.

He suspected that his plan was working when you started doing the same thing he did and made him jealous. It was either that, or his plan had backfired and you thought he didn't like you so you moved on. Either way, he still felt insanely jealous of whoever you began to like- whether they were real or not. He needed you to confess to him soon. Very soon. Being so jealous as well as not being sure if he had any reason to be jealous was driving him insane, he couldn't even focus on studying. Not that much studying was happening though.

"Abed, is everything ok?" he barely even registered the question, and was not able to recognize who's voice that was.

"What?" he mumbled back, his mind still elsewhere as he spoke with the group.

"We asked if you were ok." Annie began speaking, "You seem kind of out of it today."

Troy nodded, "Yeah, you and Y/N." Abed's head perked up at the sound of your name, suddenly giving Troy his full attention, "Neither of you have laughed at anything I've said today." he said, looking quite sad.

Abed looked over to where you were sitting, the two of you meeting eyes. You looked at each other for a moment, before announcing to the group you had to leave, not knowing that Abed was following behind you. You stood in one of the more secluded halls, startled when you saw Abed next to you.

"Shit, you scared me." 

"Sorry," he said, making less eye contact than usual, "I wanted to tell you something."

You nodded, signalling for him to go on.

"I like you, Y/N." he was quick with his confession, after hiding his feelings for long he wanted to get straight to the point, "I know you like someone else, but I need you to know how I felt." as he spoke, the situation became more and more real to him. No matter how cliche the plot between the two of you was, it wasn't a cheesy rom-com movie. It was real life. And in real life, there wasn't a guaranteed requited love story. There was a chance you could reject Abed's feelings, and his friendship with you would be ruined. "I'm sorry if this makes things awkward between us," he said, a frown taking place on his lips, "You're one of my closest friends, but I couldn't keep this from you, that wouldn't be fair to you."

You watched and listened to his confession intently, seeing how genuine his expression and words were. He wasn't playing a character, or just reenacting a scene - no matter how much his confession sounded like it was taken straight out of a rom-com - it was real.

"Abed," you began, "There's no other person. I made that up." you explained, though a part of you figured that he guessed that already, "I only acted like I liked someone else because I thought you liked someone else."

He couldn't help the smile forming on his lips, "I made that up too,"

His smile was contagious, as you quickly felt your lips turning upwards into a smile as you laughed softly, "You should start making romance movies."

"I have no interest in doing that. I could but I don't think I'd find it very enjoyable." he paused, "But I appreciate the sentiment."

"Speaking of movies, would you wanna see a movie with me sometime?"

"I would like that. We can look at session times together when we're finished studying. We should also get back to the library."

You nodded, unable to stop the smile growing on your lips as you asked, "Do you wanna hold hands when we walk back or...?"

He smiled softly and held out his hand for you to hold, "I would like that."

"Cool." you took his hand.

"Cool cool cool."

[bingsucks]

im really tired so probably none if this is canon compliant but hhh Community characters and what pets they would have

Jeff: A big dog, maybe a rottweiler or any kind of mastiff. defo will use the dog to win women over emotionally. he considered buying it clothes so they could match (double the women points) but he thinks that's corny, so he just got the dog a raincoat and called it a day. for the name i'm thinking something too human sounding like "Hank" or "Brenda"

Britta: we already knows she has one-eyed cats, but why not some three-legged dogs? a lil bird missing a wing?? she's gotta name them super stereotypical names like "mittens" "beef soup" "fartshitter the squeakquel " you get the gist

Abed: betta fish. he doesn't trust himself to take of something bigger and frankly likes how quiet fish (not the filters. fuck the filters are so loud) are. they're (almost) all named after movie characters, and even though they're basically indistinguishable Abed always knows which is which. there are actually two named nemo, one after the Disney character and one after Point Nemo which is the furthest place from land on earth.

Annie: Annie seems like the type to get a ferret on a whim because they're cute (after doing extensive research of course to make sure she has enough space and the means to take care of it), and then continue to love the little guy after it fucks over her sleep schedule and makes her room smell like rotting shit. she also likes to hold the top in one hand and the bottom in the other and then wiggle it around (but not often because she doesn't wanna hurt it)

Troy: the exact opposite of Jeff, only small dogs like a dachshund or a yorkie. he likes to pick it up and put it under his arm or in a bag like rich people do in movies just for funsies. not for transport or anything, that would be cruel, but just for little bits and such. whenever the dog stops to sniff something or hears something in the distance, Troy always goes out of his way to investigate too because he wants the dog to feel important. for a name i'm thinking more movie references, maybe a name. imagine "yeah this is my dog Indiana jones, and my other dog Paul". also he HAS to match with the dog, he has a bunch of harnesses with different colors on em just to match

Shirley: so many hamsters. so many. there is a graveyeard in her back yard full of small animal carcasses in boxes because her kids have no idea how to take care of something. at one point, after buying like 50 hamsters, she just got them one of those mice people buy to feed their snakes and it lived for two years. she never gets to name the things because they're her kid's animals, but she frequently has to stop them from naming them "fart" and "butthole"

Hickey: firm animal hater. he definitely has some sob story about how when he was a child he had to kill his dog, and that dog was his only friend or something and now has a deep-seated distrust of all animals because they all will hurt him. so sad for you cry about it, ration man

Frankie: I don't think she would ever commit to having an animal because having to deal with the Dean is like having a dog anyway but she always dreams about having a cat one day. a little orange one that's lazy that she can talk to and pretend it talks back just for funsies... yes she does want Garfield, okay? are you happy? she dreams about having Garfield. she doesn't even like Garfield and god knows she hates Jon Arbuckle with every fiber in her being but god dammit, she wants a Garf.

Pierce: friends with a dog breeder. treats dogs the way the Kardashians do except n o o n e thinks its cute when he does it

The Dean: honestly I don't think we should allow this man within 50 feet of a Dalmatian. no pets

Chang: befriended the mice and bugs that live in the walls. has a cat named "shit"

Secret Girlfriend

Requested? [Yes/No] @nickmxller

Pairing: Abed Nadir x Reader

Fandom: Community

Word Count: 1005

Warnings: a few kisses, one hell, but other than those there are none.

You watch as the infamous study group (mostly the girls) squeal and cheer after finding out there was someone who had a crush on Abed. The corners of your mouth drive upwards as you watch them with happiness. You feel bad for them because you knew that girl, and she doesn't like Abed at all, actually. She likes his lookalike (which is really crazy that we have doppelgangers).

Actually, you wouldn't mind at all if someone had a crush on Abed. Who could blame them? He was nice, cute, sweet. He's the perfect guy! You should know, you were dating him. You know that, and so does he. And he made sure that you were his.

You're now in lunch, waiting to be served food. It was okay if you prefer hair to be in your meatballs. After you had your poisonous food, you were about to head outside to eat, when a hand yanks you in a classroom with no person in it besides you and who you found out to be Abed.

"Abed?" You asked, "Are you okay?" He was pretty hard to read sometimes, but you can tell he was a little on edge.

He stays still for a moment before looking at you. "I want you to meet the study group."

You stand still after wondering how a simple sentence can rattle you up easily. "W-What?" You stammer.

"I know you wanted to keep a secret because you're afraid you won't be liked much, but I can't keep on leading the group on with the fact that someone that I don't even know likes me, and I want to let them know I have someone I love." There was a lot of emotion in his little speech that it made you speechless, but guilty. 'Did I really let him lead his friends on because of my own fears?'

"You... love me?" You asked, happy when he nodded. You still felt that little rock in your best called guilt.

"Abed..." you embrace him tightly, nuzzling your head in his chest, "I'm sorry that I made you lie to your friends about us. If you want me to meet them, then I will.”

"Cool," he says, a grin plastered on his face, "Cool cool cool."

"Cool," you replied while grabbing his hands before placing your lips on his for a couple of seconds. You pull back, your hands intertwined. "And I love you too."

--

As you fiddle with your fingers and bounce your legs, you wait for the study group to finally show. Abed wanted you to be like those people where they spin in a chair with a pet saying "I've been expecting you...", but after reminding him that there are no spinning chairs in the study room, you planned to just sit on the couch, waiting to be introduced.

You can hear the group talking down the hallway and you feel like your going to explode with enthusiasm and anxiety.

The first person to notice was Shirley. She looked quickly at the couches and turned away before having to do a double-take to see if Jesus was testing her. "Um..." she said with uncertainty, which caused the group to look at you, except Abed, who wasn't there with them.

"Who the hell are you?" Pierce points, as Jeff smack him on the head.

"Sorry, but we don't want another person in our Spanish project," Britta rudely stated, assuming you wanted to be in a project you already finished.

"Oh! Uh- I don't want to be in your group," you waved them off and they send you a look of confusion. Everyone wants to be in the group. You stand up when you see Abed. "I'm actually waiting for him."

When he sees you, his eye light up, and he strolls over to you and gives you a peck on the cheek. You feel your cheeks heat up tremendously. The group's gaze when from you to Abed once or twice before their eyes widen.

Jeff, the least who cares but the most confused, slowly asks, "So, you and Abed are..."

You perk up. "Together, yes." Realizing you didn't even say your name, you step towards them with a hand raised in front of them. "I'm Y/N. I know all of your names- mostly because Abed tells me a lot about you guys."

Your eyes met Troy, Abed's close friend. You would hear so many things about him, and your glad that Abed has made a good friend. Since he is the least flabbergasted, he takes your hand and shakes it firmly. You smile at him. "It's nice to meet you, Y/N, forgive them, they didn't think Abed could get a girlfriend."

Annie hits him on the arm. "Troy!" she scolds, "We didn't think that! We're just... surprised, that's all."

Britta agrees, "We didn't know that he had a secret girlfriend! Can you blame us?"

"Oh, no, I don't blame you," you consoled them and switched your gaze to Abed, "We wanted to keep it a secret for a while, but we talked and I decided that I should meet you guys. From what I heard, you guys are pretty cool, so I definitely want to get to know you guys better" You explained, and they seemed to relax. Abed slips his hand in yours and you smile at him. Annie and Shirley 'aww' at the gesture.

"Well, now that we got this settled," you yanked your Spanish book out of your bag and beamed at them, "I already finished my project, so if you guys want help." Cheers and 'thank goodness''s came out of everyone's mouth as they grab another chair and place you with them, talking about other things instead of the project.

Abed watches you smile with his friends, the ones he never thought he would have. He never thought he could score someone as great as you, or as good friends like them, but he's thankful for this moment that was given to him.

Community Re-Watch Season 1: Pilot and Spanish 101

Community Re-Watch:  Season 1

Pilot

I'm going to try to do something a little bit different here. Rather than re-hash the plot, I figured I'd pull up some interesting tidbits from the commentaries. So, away we go!

Commentary by Dan Harmon, Joel McHale, and the Russo Brothers

Jim Rash was cast the day before his first scene. They were half-way through filming the pilot at the time.

There was a minor argument about Jeff's costuming in the pilot. Some thought he looked like a bum, others thought he looked hip. The "hip" side won, at least for the pilot. It was also the last time Jeff wore sweatpants in an episode, so...maybe they didn't win after all?

Costuming in the pilot was done by Wes Anderson's costumer. She only did the pilot, though.

John Oliver hates doing retakes because it would require doing the same thing twice.

Chevy actually had people on set in stitches doing his regular Chevy-schtick in the cafeteria.

They spent a lot of time on the pilot. They did multiple takes of most of the scenes because they weren't sure who the characters were or the tone they wanted to strike.

Abed is the character who's "the most excited about the pilot" because he's never had "a family" of people he could interact with normally. So, according to Dan, Abed is somewhat playing "dumb" for the pilot and the first few episodes until more of his real personality could emerge.

There was a period of four or five months between shooting the pilot and filming the second episode.

The pilot was shot on location at the abandoned headquarters of collapsed bank WAMU (interior shots) and L.A. City College (exterior shots).

Annie was originally supposed be a combination "Tracy Flick" and girls Dan went to high school with. They also costumed her as "Elizabeth Hasselback" (conservative woman who dresses to show off her sexuality). Chevy was costumed as Bob Evans. Jeff was costumed as David Beckham. Duncan was costumed as Dr. Who.

Annie was really the antagonist of the pilot. She's the one who shows up uninvited, she's the one most likely to sniff out that Jeff is lying, she's the most aggressive member of the group in questioning Jeff, and she's the one who's the most "crazy" emotionally.

Alison Brie was the last member of the Greendale 7 to be cast. No one in the cast had met her until the first day they began shooting the pilot.

Annie is the reason why Jeff has to remain on guard throughout the pilot. She was supposed to be "the cop" and "the buzzkill" of the group. However, "the actor took over the character" (which Dan seems happy about) and they switched tracks for Annie and made her this archetype of the young woman who's blossoming and finding herself.

Abed's breakfast club speech (Bender's monolog) was an idea Dan had on the set, so Danny Pudi had to learn it on the set. The basically did this by streaming the scene on their iPhones and had Danny watch it until he learned it.

NBC suits expressed concern that Jeff was "too unlikeable" during filming of the pilot.

The last scene that was shot before the episode wrapped is the scene between Jeff and Britta (after he gets "the answers to all exams" from Duncan) where he confesses to Britta that he lied and he only did it because he wanted to go out on a date with her, and Britta promises (with fingers crossed behind her back) to go out to dinner with Jeff if he stops everyone in the study room from trying to kill each other.

Dan says that Jeff's "shark week" monologue is his "finest hour."

According to Dan, Jeff's saving grace is that he doesn't hate or really judge anyone. The bad news? It's because Jeff's too self-involved to hate anyone or get overly invested in other people's life choices.

Joel jokes that Jeff's sole motivation is to get laid. Dan says that's why Jeff can, on command, sincerely say he likes the "Elizabeth Hasselback girl" and say she's a hero, because it suits his purposes.

They admit that Britta had "no character development" in the pilot because she's got to "shoulder the story" by being Jeff's motivation for being in the study room. Meanwhile, all the other characters in the study group can actually show bits and pieces of their characters right off the bat. In short, Dan fully admits that Britta's a cipher and they had no clue what her motivation was or even if Britta realized that Jeff was a con artist from the get-go.

The Russos state that around episode six or seven, the actors wind up "taking over the set" because that's the point where they know their own characters better than anyone else, including the writers.

The Russos state the exciting thing about shooting a pilot is that you don't know what's going to happen or how it's all going to shake out. About 80% of the battle is in casting, because that's ultimately what dictates the direction the show will go in.

Line cut from the pilot when Jeff "diagnoses" Abed as having Aspergers is actually a line Britta says to Abed:  "He's not qualified to make that diagnosis." Heh.

Dan fought to get Joel McHale cast as Jeff. Dan managed to win NBC over by showing them the closing scene on the steps outside the library.

The pilot was an homage to John Hughes movies.

Spanish 101

Commentary by Dan Harmon, Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Joe Russo

Joe says the second episode after the pilot is generally more interesting, in large part because a pilot is "the prototype" and kind of formless while everyone figures out what they're doing. The second episode is where you really try to figure out who you are going forward.

Joel seems a little relieved that he doesn't ever have to wear sweatpants again.

Joel, Dan, and Joe had explain to Chevy what a DVD commentary is and why they're doing it.

Speculation that they're big in Thailand because "Alison is big there."

Dan's really proud of Jeff's soda cup. The art department mocked it up as "Yummy Tummy Stop 'n Go."

Joe loves the steady cam shot around the table as Jeff strolls in and greets each member of the study group, but admits that as the season wore on they got less and less ambitious about using them.

Chevy points out that Joel's got a zit on his left cheek for this episode.

The Fortuneteller still has the original title card for Chevy, which is a cartoon woman with big boobs. NBC made them change it after it was broadcast.

The scene immediately after the opening credits had to be reshot because the original take was "too serious" and Britta was upset in a way that was more reminiscent of ER characters on their way to surgery, rather than the opening scene of a sitcom.

Joel remarks that the good thing about acting with Chevy is that he gets to act with someone who is his own height.

Chang's introductory speech took 45 minutes to shoot because they wanted to let him loose and not miss anything. It took them four days to edit the scene. They decided that it probably wasn't the best way to go about things.

Everyone except Chevy was recording the commentary in L.A. Chevy was recording from New York via live feed and was 57 seconds behind everyone else.

First appearance of Starburns. The reason why they asked Dino to do it is because they felt they couldn't ask an actor to sit in make-up for hours to create the star-shaped sideburns. Eventually, Dino just grew in his sideburns and shaved them into star shapes.

Joel had to shave his stomach with an electric razor blade for this episode. The scene where Abed and Jeff switch shirts, in which Jeff winds up wearing a shirt much too small for him, pretty much showed all this hair peeking up over his belt buckle and across his stomach. So costuming handed him the razor with the comment, "You need to take care of something."

Big revelation for Pierce's character is in this episode:  Pierce is sterile, but characterizes it as having super sperm.

The scene where Jeff and Pierce are in the study room working on their Spanish project was shot at the end of a 13-hour day.

The "scotch" used in this episode was actually ice tea.

Exterior shots in this episode were shot at L.A. City College.

The writing on the chalk board behind Chevy is courtesy of both Dan and Chevy.

Pierce's character is meant to be an artistic type whose reach exceeds his grasp, and he covers it up by being pomous and being venomous. Dan admits that Pierce is his way of making fun of himself.

Jeff is meant to be a shallow, selfish asshole that you wind up rooting for despite yourself.

The tapes over everyone's mouth in the candlelight vigil scene had to be digitally colored to be darker.

Joel's favorite lines are the "you had bad breath" exchange between Abed and Troy.

The candelight vigil scene was still being shot at 2 a.m. (and they weren't done filming yet).

There is supposed to be a core of darkness to Pierce's character that they bob in and out of. Chevy notes that Pierce is neither a Griswald or a Fletch. He's his own person. Chevy states that Pierce is full of himself.

The idea to use the Amy Mann song came from a Channel 101 video. Dan made sure to ask permission from the person who did it from Channel 101. It was also a way to get around them actually presenting the horribly offensive Spanish Play.

It was Joe's idea to pull Alison into Pierce's and Jeff's Spanish Play as Pocahontas Chevy got mad at Joel for putting his put in Alison's face during that scene. Chevy informed him that Joel was "going to far" by doing that.

The triumph of the episode is that Jeff is willing to do something incredibly stupid.
