Sassiest TSC lines

See wit, candor and spoilers below. Jean is a sassy one and so is Neil

“Of course it’d be you, you tedious malcontent.” (Jean to Neil)

“You are only here now because you are an abominable cockroach,” (Jean to Neil)

With ten seconds left on the clock, Jean thought maybe he’d apologize to Nathaniel for calling the Foxes worthless trash bags.

“Let them all burn. I hope none of them survive.” (Jean to his roommates about the ravens )

“I assumed the Trojans were idiots,” Jean said. “Now I think you are all insane.” ​

“You’re a good man, Jean Moreau.” ​“

A ridiculous sentiment,” he said. (Jean to Cat)

“I made Jean try my ghost pepper sauce, is all. I knew the French were dramatic children but damn, this guy takes the cake. My theory that the Ravens think salt and pepper are exotic spices is starting to hold water.” (Cat to Jeremy)

“The Trojan obsession with fun has not gotten any easier to tolerate,” Jean said. ​“You could just say ‘no’,” Jeremy said dryly.

“Permission to break his face, Coach?” Jean asked. ​“Denied,” White said.

“Neil Josten,” one said as they both presented their badges. “We’d like a word with you.” ​“Tedious,” Neil said. “I’m trying to eat.”

A black SUV with tinted windows and government plates was parked at the curb out front. Neil, being the person he was, pointed at the fire hydrant adjacent to its front bumper and said, “That’s illegal, just so you know.”

Neil asked in French, “Chances of them understanding French?” ​“None. They’re American,” Jean said.

“Jean’s French,” Neil said. “He brings out violence in people every time he opens his mouth.”

“You’re one to accuse others of intolerable attitudes,” Browning said, and Neil only shrugged indifference.

Finished watching Dead Boy Detectives. Here are my honest thoughts.

-If you're going into it expecting another Good Omens, stop. Our protagonists are all minors. Teenagers. They cuss, they have total dirty mouths and sexual humor, but they are not eternal beings pretending to be middle aged men. They're ghosts. Dead Boys, if you will. Also this might be a stretch, but I'm assuming from the slightly less good CGI that the budget for this series was a LOT less than what it was for GO

-Edwin is kind of a dick in the first episode. But it's okay. Because character growth is swag.

-REALISTIC CHARACTER GROWTH!!! I liked Edwin a LOT more during the second episode BECAUSE of the character growth. And honestly? It's completely natural that bro is more than a little prickly after only being able to trust one guy for an extremely long time. Fair enough my guy. Carry on.

- this show kinda has Nimona vibes. If that makes sense. Witty humor, somewhat sexual dialogue, funny moments during serious times, though geared towards a younger audience. If you like those kinds of things, you will like this, I'm sure of it.

- In the early episodes, the pacing/character relationships feel a little off??? I'm not sure if that was because I was expecting another Good Omens or what. But after 2-3 episodes, the dust quickly settled and we got into the actual storyline. Which was extremely appreciated✨

-these villains are FUCKED up. I'm telling you. They are HORRIFIC. Had me squirming and cringing through their intense scenes. And gosh. That was a TRIP.

-TY TENANT PLAYS THE MAIN GUY EDWIN!!!! And he plays him WELL. I did not realize this going in to the show and thought his face was VERY familiar. Only after I looked it up did I realize why. He's our sassy son of Job. (EDIT: turns out Ty plays the Doom Patrol version. Not the one on Netflix. My bad! They do look pretty similar though, so ykw. Great casting. Also my point still stands. This guy is a pretty fuckin awesome actor. 10/10)

-Cat King is such a wild card holy SHIT.

-Charles is cute as fuck. His backstory HURTS. But also. I love the way his ears look. Like in the pictures that I saw of him they were of when the Cat King impersonated him so I was like oh chill. So he's got pointed ears bc feline but NOPE. He's just like that!! And honestly? Slay. I fuckin love it.

-oh did I mention tragic backstories???? Yeah we got those :D for everyone :D

-Niko is the best and I love her. Also I love how the letters on her desk are written in Japanese. That is a VERY nice touch of character building.

-hot butcher lady with throat tattoo

All in all. A truly delightful series and I genuinely hope it gets another season because I NEED to know what happens next. My little sister LOVED it and the ending had us all staring open mouthed at the TV screen in shock.

This 15yo girl is literally ranting my ear off, having adventures with the Dead Boys in her dreams and chatting with me about it, searching up fanfics and drawing fanart, the whole shabang. And it is DIFFICULT for this girl to get into shows like this. So honestly? This is perfect. Thank you, Neil. For giving us a whole other banger.

That being said. If anybody else has some younger siblings that are around 15-17 and are looking for shows to binge watch together, this is the perfect one. I'm telling you, you will NOT regret it (except maybe emotionally)

Thoroughly recommend.

I’m rereading PJO because the new series is coming out on Disney + and I wanted to refresh my memory and I was thinking about Percy earlier and how this kid has so much nerve, like the audacity this kid has, dueling a GOD, the god of war no less. And the way he can almost never keep his mouth shut. Always making silent remarks, making enemies out of being you do not want to make enemies out of. Like, wtf? Idk if this is bravery or stupidity? Probably a bit of both, and that got me thinking, you know who this loudmouth, sassy, sarcastic little shit reminds me of???

Guess.

Neil Fucking Josten.

Oh my gods.

Like.

I remember when I first read aftg, I thought, “huh this Neil kid reminds me of someone” and I could never figure out who, now I know, it’s PERCY JACKSON

They are the SAME character in a different font.

The sassiness? The sarcasm? The nerve? The impulsiveness? The recklessness? The bravery? The stupidity? The quick thinking? The inability to keep their mouth shut? The undying personal loyalty??? To the point it’s a fault????

Even the inner monologues are similar.

No wonder I’m so attached to both of them.

Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts

Thank you, and goodnight

[aftg-stuff-lol]

Jean Moreau is a sassy bitch

Spoiler quotes under the cut

Still, he had to wonder what could possibly cause so much irrevocable brain damage. Something in the water this far south, perhaps? Maybe carbon monoxide poisoning at the Foxhole Court.

That man is years overdue for a highspeed, head-on collision.

"Not surprised the Foxes need a shrink."

"Jean Moreau?" Jeremy asked. "Jeremy Knox." Jean immediately hung up on him.

"Of course it'd be you, you tedious malcontent."

"Small talk is a pointless indulgence."

"A comedy for the ages," Jean said. "I am laughing on the inside."

"We only had so much space to work with around here," Jeremy said with a helpless shrug. "It's not about size, anyway." "Defensive," Jean said.

"You're a good man, Jean Moreau." "A ridiculous sentiment," he said.

Neil's bonus: "Jean's French, he brings out violence in people every time he opens his mouth"

Dead Poets Society showing affection to their friends (hugs, gifts)

Inspired by @forrestpoet ❤️ I LOVE YOUR BLOG AND YOU'RE SO KIND!!!! Under the cut 😋

Charlie's love language is gift giving, idc.

He would love spoiling his friends/partner so much

Like if you go shopping with Charlie and like "ohhhhh I'm kind of hungry but I probably shouldn't spend anymore money-" "It's okay just get the whole menu it's on me"

THANK YOU CHARLIE 😋😋

Okay.... How would they hug....

I feel like if Neil is playfully hugging his friends or something like that he squeezes them so tightly

If you need a gentle hug just let him know and he's got ya

Todd wouldn't like being touched, but his hugs would be very gentle. If someone needed a hug, he would think about giving them one, but would probably prefer to just pat them on the back or something like that

coming from a fellow human that doesn't like to be touched a whole lot

I've said this once before and I'll say it again, Pitts and Knox would give the best hugs ever, and they would be glad to give anyone a hug whenever they needed it

If a stranger went up to Knox holding out their arms for a hug, Knox would not hesitate to embrace them

Pitts is casually very physically affectionate with his friends

SO is Knox

I can see Pitts + Knox getting along well for this reason

Pitts/Knox casually putting his arm around any and all of his friends shoulders

IDK they're both just tall guys who are dorks

one chance please

ANYWAY...

Okay, let's talk GIFTS....

Neil gets his friends something for Christmas every year, no matter what, even if he's only known a friend for a very short amount of time.

He makes sure to put a lot of thoughts into gifts too, like he gets something very specific to that person.

For example, he probably gets Charlie something really silly (probably has to do with an inside joke between the two of them) or perhaps something for his saxophone

the silly one was a bright pink beret

Charlie also gets all of his friends something, but goes out of his way to ask them what they want.... A little something like this:

Charlie casually walks into Todd + Neil's room while only Todd is in there, just hanging out, lounging on his bed, and Charlie acts like he's about to drop the bomb on him. He sighs as he enters the room, and Todd's eyes dart up towards Charlie, and away from his book. Charlie pulls out Todd's desk chair and sits in it backwards, resting his arms on the back of the chair, looking down.

"Toddy..." he starts, Todd looking at him like 'what'd I do.'

"Yes?" Todd says, ever so softly. Charlie looks up at him, mouth forming a line.

"I have to ask you a very serious question."

"Well, alright," Todd looks him up and down like 'wtf where is this going.' (I live for sassy Todd)

"What.... What do you want for Christmas?"

"Is that seriously it?" Todd sets his book down slightly aggressively for Todd.

LMAOOO I dunno, Charlie is so dramatic I love him.

Charlie then proceeds to get whatever his friends ask for. He loves loves gift giving and seeing his friends open gifts from him.

Okay, debatable, but I can see Todd loving to give his friends handmade gifts :)

Todd made Neil a sweater (he learned to knit! yes he cursed at the needles and yarn 3/4 of the time but! Sweater! for Neil!!)

Todd: "Okay so I know it's not much but I didn't have much time but i stayed up til 3 am last night working on it because I had a last minute idea but I hope you really like it and if you don't I totally get it but-"

Neil: "HUSH.... I love it so much I'm gonna wear it everyday of my life even when it's 90 degrees out in the summer I'm gonna wear it and love it so much. mwah."

Meeks is SO creative with his gift giving.... by this I mean he puts so much into how he wraps his gifts or packages them, that the poets don't even want to open their presents when Meeks gifts any of them something (Christmas, birthdays, etc)

Like on Charlie's birthday, Charlie legit just stared at how elaborately he wrapped his present for a solid ten minutes.

Everyone questions it to themselves, "When does Meeks have time to learn how to wrap gifts so well between Welton and everything else....."

Guess we'll never know!

OKAY CAMERON LET'S TALK ABOUT CAMERON!!

A pretty good gift giver, but he overthinks it a lot

"Will Pitts like this or this? His hair is kind of like mine... should I get him a brush like mine? No no no... He'll think I'm telling him to take better care of his hair, that's mean..... Okay! I'll get him a new tie! No.... He'll think I'm telling him to dress better" and what not

OKAY KNOX LET'S TALK ABOUT MR. OVERSTREET 🤭

What a romantic little guy, he would do so good at gifts, but especially the cards he writes with gifts. His notes to his friends are so so sweet

Charlie called him a corndog for writing such a sappy note with his Christmas gift

Charlie ALSO reads that note almost every night for about two months after Christmas.

Because around two months after Christmas is Valentine's day, and of course Knox wrote Charlie a card on Valentine's day, along with all his other friends. He loves making/writing cards.

Pitts gets A LOT of gag gifts, but makes sure to also get something that his friends would actually like

He definitely got Cameron a pair of earplugs with a note attached that went something like "Anybody bring a pair of earplugs? Well, now you can have your own for Poetrusic part 2!" But he also got Cameron like a nice new pen or something, he got a laugh and a nice pen, not a bad day!

Overall, I think that the poets would all be very gift-y

I can see Neil always giving the sweetest gifts, because he secretly pays a lot of attention to everyone.

No minors and No men

For @whore4abby <3

CW: Grinding, thigh riding, marking, soft and very loving sex

Title: Tender Loving

"My love?" You tug on Abby's sleeve, nuzzling your face into her hoodie.

"What's wrong baby?" She pets your hair, scratching softly at your scalp.

"Not sure." She puts her book down, scoots onto her back, then holds you curled up on her chest. Your legs tangle with hers as you spread out on her. Your arms rest at her sides as she wraps you up tight, peppering kisses to your hair.

"Talk to me. What's going on in that cute little head of yours?" She gently taps on your temples.

"Dunno. Keep talking to me?"

"Of course angel." She kisses the crown of your head. "I think you're so cute, and pretty, and kind, and sassy." Abby rubs her hand down your back to your butt. She gives it a squeeze before moving up to your back again. "My brain is empty, here." She picks up her book again, reading out loud where she left off.

Your eyes get droopy as she reads, but instead of feeling sleepy you're relaxed. Your breathing syncs with hers as one hand travels your spine, your head, and back to your butt every now and again.

After a few chapters she starts to shift around. When you slip between her legs you tease her with a silly thrust she giggles at, the sound bringing a smile to your face. "You're too shy for that. When you top you get all giggly and blushy and have me take over again."

"I was just playing around." You grin at her, tracing patterns on her abs under her hoodie.

"Why don't you turn on the stereo for me real fast?" She pats your thigh, scooting back to sit upright on the bed. "And make sure the Bluetooth is on?" You skip to the stereo sitting across the room on top of the dresser. You check it's plugged in before pressing buttons. "Ah! Holy shit!" You crank the volume to zero after you're jump scared by the radio. You turn on the Bluetooth before getting back into bed. "Come here my love." Abby guides you to sit on her lap, turning on a soft lofi radio you found together. Warmth creeps into your face as you realize it's a tender one meant for sex and relaxing.

"Abby?" You nod to her phone. "Why this one?"

"It's as soft as you are." She kisses your forehead, your nose, then finally your lips. It's a slow, deep kiss without tongue.

Her teeth nip your lips and you smile into her mouth. The gesture tickles more than anything. She cups your face, pulling away. Your lips chase her but she only laughs breathlessly. "Why did you stop?"

"Would you like to go further?" Her hands tug at the waistband of the boxers you stole.

"No strap. Just you." You lift yourself so she can pull them off of you. You tug at her boxers too.

"Ok darling. You look so cute in just my old band tee." She settles you on her thigh.

"You look cute in anything," you give her puppy dog eyes. Her smile is so gentle you feel yourself melt. All you can think about is staying like this, frozen for the rest of time. And then her pinky finger bumps your clit, and you're shocked back to reality with a buck of your hips.

"Where did you go just now?" Her hand cups your face, her thumb rubbing the apple of your cheek.

"Our future." She hugs you close, her sweater paws rubbing up and down your back as she kisses your neck slow and tender.

"You're so precious," she whispers, taking your lips.

Shuffling in her lap, you accidentally knock your knee into her slit. Her breath hitches. You pull away to apologize but instead, her hand pushes you on her thigh, guiding your movements.

You follow obediently. Your knee keeps a steady pressure where she needs it and it's enough for her to feel good. Your rocking brings soft breaths and small gasp from your throat as you bury your face in her neck, hugging her around the shoulders. You leave soothing scratches, nothing heavy enough to mark but enough to sooth as her nails leave moons in your hips. You don't mind though. It feels amazing.

You flex your foot so your knee can slowly grind on her and press her clit. Her breathing gets harder and little noises escape her lips as she flexes her thigh to your pace. Your noises begin to match hers as you sync up, bodies moving as one.

"My love?" You whisper, your voice hitching.

"Yes my darling?" Her voice isn't fairing much better.

"Kiss me?" She does. As you feel your thighs shake and wetness pool out of you, she pushes her tongue into your mouth. You moan and suck on it. Her release follows yours by not very long, her hand pushing at your knee when she's done.

"Let's get cleaned up, and I'll take you out for dinner. Wear a pretty dress for me?" She leaves a gentle squeeze on your butt.

"As long as you wear one of your nice suits. Not a wedding or funeral one, but one of the ones you have hanging for important occasions." You give her the best pleading look.

"Of course baby," you kiss her one last time before making your way to the bathroom.

Me: i don't get why everyone fancasts marcus from deadly class as neil, he only looks rugged and has a cool scar, nothing else

Me one minute into the first episode: ohhh okay he's soooo neil-coded. He's quiet but his big mouth gets him in trouble, he stands up to bullies in a way that is always close to getting him killed, he's sassy, he's socially inept...

[Rats are not invited to the dance] "Oh, bummer, i just had my asshole freshly douched :("

[Find a thousand dicks and suck on them] "So many? 🤨"

[Phone call for you] "But I don't know anyone 🤔"

[You ever hear of the red string?] "I've heard of red strings... 🤨 I- I've seen clothing 😌" That's literally a conversation he could have with Nicky

get to know a simmer

I was tagged by the awesome @igotsnothing. Thanks for thinking of me 💛

show your wallpaper: I answered a similar question HERE

last song you listened to: I'm currently listening to Exit Music (For A Film) by Radiohead.

currently reading: The Script book for Good Omens season 1 (some of Neil's directions/commentaries are hilarious)

last movie: Um, let's me check my Listography, 'cause I don't remember... OK, it was "Les 12 Travaux d'Astérix" (the 19th of March!)

last show: Good Omens (I'm preparing for next month ^^)

craving: something good to eat, but I can't pinpoint what, my mouth refuses to tell me (I think it's something sugary - but not too much -, with a soft texture, and probably cold)(yes, I feel in my mouth what food I wanna eat, so what?)

what are you wearing right now: panties and a Veronica Mars t-shirt (I'm in bed, it's 1:30AM)

how tall are you: 162 cm, I think.

piercings: I used to have my ears pierced (twice each) but I can't wear earrings any more because of hyper-sensibility, so they kinda aren't any more?

tattoos: plenty of small pick'n'poke all over my body, and a rather bigger one representing Grumpy from Disney's Snow White (also a stick'n'poke) on my thigh. All done by me.

glasses/contacts: Glasses, though I rarely wear them.

last thing you ate: Fake Feta cheese (it's not Feta if it's cow milk).

favourite colour: Red (though I have a rather big soft spot for yellow, if it wasn't obvious with the amount I use in my themes/pics + my more used emoji being the yellow heart ^^)

current obsession: Wolfgang Munch, Malcolm Landgraab, and my sweet baby OC, Alfie Dubois.

any pets: not for a few years, now.

favourite fictional character: The King of Self-Loathing, Emotional Constipation, and Denial: Dean Winchester. Because, I also have very low self-esteem (and a guilt complex that could fill a small moon), can't talk about emotions to save my life, and "Denial" might as well be my middle name.

But really, give me any (male, for some reason) character that hates himself and hides his self-hatred and low (if not non-existent) self-esteem behind a sassy and buffoon-y façade, and I'll fall in love with them (I'm looking at you Stiles Stilinski, Klaus Hargreeves, Nathan Young, Garrus Vakarian, the Master - OK, that one is not exclusively male -, Gwaine, or Spike). I guess, I also am a sassy buffon who hide their self-loathing behind a façade.

last place you traveled: Do you think I have money to travel? I'm an unemployed disable person, I don't travel. But, I went to see my grandma who lives about 800 km away (which is a rather long distance for France, OK? It totally count) last October.

Tagging: anyone who wants to do this!

In addition to looking after him and teaching high school malcontents, Hadley hopes to channel her recent L.A. heartbreak into a play about the last moment of a woman’s innocence. But she seeks inspiration.

Enter Trey Harding, a young, handsome reporter who covers sports at the high school. Trey reminds Hadley of her L.A. ex and is the perfect spark to fire up her imagination. The fact that Trey is an aspiring rock star and she has L.A. record biz connections makes the alliance perfect. She dangles promises of music biz glory while watching his moves. 

But the surprising twist that transpires when the two of them go to Hollywood is not something Hadley prepared for.

Excerpt:

There was a knock on the door as Hadley sat down with a bowl of chocolate-chip ice cream. She glanced at the clock: 8 p.m. Sunday night. She’d shot the whole weekend, mostly grading papers and sleeping the day before.

“My God,” she said aloud, remembering Trey’s promise to make good on a date. How could he possibly show up after she’d been so deliberately elusive? She had forgotten the resiliency of some guys.

“Who is it?” she trilled, bouncing a mound of the frozen dessert on her tongue. She cleared her throat and repeated the question, all the while picking up the detritus from the weekend—the pizza box, the ice cream container, the National Enquirer.

“ ‘Tis I, Old Dog Trey,” he yelled through the door. “Ever faithful. We have a meeting, remember?”

She used her fingers to comb her hair and moaned when the mirror reflected a wan, puffy face staring back at her.

“I never confirmed any meeting,” she said through the door. She hurried to straighten the cushions on the couch. “I’ll take a rain check.” Her heart was doing double time.

“C’mon. Please open the door. It’s getting chilly out here.” His voice was deeper than usual.

She brushed the lint off her sweatshirt and zipped up her jeans before opening the door.

Trey was twirling the end of a white stick in his mouth. With a loud slurping sound, he pulled from his mouth a bright red lollipop before sticking out his tongue, which now matched the color of his shirt.  

“Fire your secretary,” he said, tapping his watch. “May I come in?”

She let him in, the shame of her unkempt apartment equaled only by the shame of her own disheveled appearance.

He stood close to her. “I have to say, you are much more attractive without all that make-up.” He talked with the lollipop stuck in his cheek. “Definitely younger.”

It was an approach she remembered from her time with Derek. First you surprise them, then compliment them when they’re at their most vulnerable. She made a mental note.

He walked toward the nearest chair, sat down, but quickly jumped up again, fishing in his pockets. “Where are my manners? Here.” He extended a lollipop, grape flavor, her favorite.

“No thanks.” It wasn’t even on the level of the apple Neil had given her on the first day of school. Besides, what was with men and their semiotics anyway? Perhaps it beat communicating with words. And how in the world would he have known grape was her favorite flavor? Was she that transparent? Was there a grape “type” as opposed to an orange or cherry type? The grape type would be moody and dark. The orange type would be young, perky, sassy. The cherry type? Passionate, desirable. Like him.

Lollipops aside, he was lusciousness itself, the blood-red shirt adding to his angel-faced carnality. His skin glowed, no doubt from a day spent in the autumn sun with a frisky faun.

What if Neil decided to study law or something in that field to help kids in situations like his, but with a little bit of a sassy mouth

Kid: Help my mom and I are running away from my dad because he wants to sell me.

Neil: To the moriyamas? Do they want to sell you to become an exy machine? Is your dad the butcher? I think not

Kid: I-

Neil: I'm kidding, come. I have the paperwork done already.

Iconic Neil Josten Moments

Light glinted off a bright yellow racquet as the stranger took a swing, and Neil was going too fast to stop. Wood slammed into his gut hard enough to crush his lungs into his spine.

“This is my reassured face.”

“I could just not go.”

“So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone.”

“Some of the strongest people I’ve known are women.”

“I don’t drink.”

I’ll dress up as a college student.”

“I trusted you more than I was scared of him. So trust me now if you can.”

He did the next best thing and dragged one of Andrew’s hands under the hem. He pressed Andrew’s palm to the ugly scarring across his abdomen.

“Do girls need kid-glove treatment? I thought they were tougher than that.”

“I would love to see you try. You think I’m afraid of your knife? I’m the Butcher’s son.”

Neil held up his free hand showed Riko his steady fingers. “I’m shaking with fear.”

Somehow he made it close enough again to grab Riko’s sleeve. “You even fucking think about touching him — “

“Who is your king, Nathaniel?” / Neil spat in his face.

“I’ve never had friends before. I don’t know how this works. I’m trying, but it’s going to take time.”

“Oh,” Neil said. “You mean this.” He peeled the bandage off his face and let the reporters get a good look at his tattoo.

“I don’t know how to talk to people about the important things.”

Neil had been doing one stupid thing after another all year long and this had turned into the best year of his life.

“And I am nothing,” Neil prompted. When Andrew gestured confirmation, Neil said, “And as you’ve always said, you want nothing.”

“Whatever,” Nathaniel said. “I’m going to nap.”

“Everything I needed, you already gave me. You let me stay.”

“Your neck fetish is not attractive.” / “You like it,” Neil said, unapologetic. “I like that you like it.”

“I’d ask you how it feels, but I guess you’ve always known what it’s like to be second, you worthless piece of shit.”

This was everything he wanted, everything he needed, and Neil was never letting go.

[sidras-tak]

Sorry SORRY I’m just thinking about the motel scene on this here night in September………… Andrew going feral and I mean that almost literally he doesn’t even trust ABBY to touch Neil at this moment….. still handcuffed to wymack but nothings going to stop him from getting to Neil. Kevin’s still got bruises from where Andrew tried to kill him (Andrew. Andrew tried to kill Kevin. Kevin who Andrew made a deal with to protect. Just a reminder that Andrew broke his own promise to keep Kevin safe when Neil was unsafe. Yes I am unwell about it). The face touches. The German conversation. The fuckin FBI guys who were at their wits end with this fuckin sassy-mouthed son of a murderer already and then his fuckin secret BOYFRIEND got thrown in the mix and they’re basically professing their love for each other with tender face touches and insults on the dirty ass motel room carpet……while one of them is STILL handcuffed to a grown man. Alison the richest motherfucker in the room got a major bet payout and everyone acts like that’s normal for some reason. Aarons trying not to barf from repressed homophobia, nickys brain is rebooting from learning Andrew isn’t straight, and Andrew tags along on neil’s extremely top-secret interrogation like an emotional support monster simply because if they don’t let him he will 100% do a murder and if they arrest him for doing a murder, their #1 source of information will clam up and they’ll have endured a full day of neil’s smart mouth and whatever 5-seasons-deep-that’s-what-you-missed-on-glee-ass motel room drama for NOTHING

Leaving Hawkins

“Billy, I can't close this one.” You whine, pushing your baggage and trying to pull the zipper.

“Do you really need all that?” He asks, gesturing at your two huge pieces of baggage, and the one you can't close, a bit smaller.

“Yes. These are my clothes and stuff. We're moving out, I'll need all of it.” Batting your eyelashes, you take Billy's hand. “Just help me close it, please?”

He rolls his eyes dramatically before working on your stuff. And there's a small pile of clothes that won't let it close. “I'll rip the zipper if I push it further.” As he speaks, he takes off what's on the way and the thing closes down easily.

“What am I going to do?”

“I have a bag you can use. But we'll have to drive back to my place before hitting the road.”

“Hitting the road...” You mutter, sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Something wrong?”

“No, I just... Can't believe it.” Looking down at your hands, you sigh. “I was expecting this moment for so long and now is actually happening. I'm going to college. We're both going to college. Together. And this is–”

“Amazing.” He finishes off for you, sitting by your side. “(Y/N), I... I've heard from some people that I'd never be anyone. That I'd have a miserable life and I swear I didn't care. I was fine with it but now it's different. Now I have you and I want to give you the whole world.”

“You already do.” Tracing the outline of his jaw, you stare into his blue eyes. “And the future that waits for us will be great. You'll be an amazing Marine Biologist...” As you speak, you move to sit on his lap, arms around his neck. “...And I'll be an awesome Architect. And our kids will know their parents are soulmates, meant to be together.”

“Pretty girl, you couldn't be more right.” And he claims your lips on a kiss, fast and needy, that has to be cut off way too soon because of the footsteps coming towards the bedroom.

“Kids, it's getting late.” She says, and before she can come in, you stand up. “I don't mean to kick you out but the road to California is long and you have a certain time to reach the hotels you'll be sleeping in and–” She stops talking suddenly, swallowing hard. “Baby, I'm gonna miss you.” She pulls you into a hug, way too tight. “Call me from the hotels and the moment you set foot in California, hear me? I'll visit you as soon as I get my days off.“

“Alright, mom.” Giggling, you pull away. “We're ready to go. We'll have to stop at Billy's to get another bag but that's it. I'm officially leaving Hawkins.”

“Dear God, I thought this day would never come.” She mutters but helps you with the baggage anyway.

At the sidewalk, she hugs you and Billy once again, holding you for way too long. But you don't blame her. One day, it'll be you saying goodbye to your kids, and you know you'll feel the same.

“Hargrove, take care of her.” She says, finally letting you go. “Make sure she's eating well, and watch out for her allergies and–”

“Mom, Billy will take care of me just fine. And I'll take care of him as well.” You assure her, giving her one last kiss on the cheek before getting inside the car.

And then, Billy starts driving.

It's not like your leaving Hawkins yet, but you are leaving your house and your mother.

Holding back the tears, your take Billy's hand. “The first day of the rest of our lives.” You mutter, looking at the houses passing by.

“It'll be wonderful.”

Nodding, you smile. “It sure will.”

Twenty minutes later your stopping by his house for the last time. But there's something you notice immediately. And so does Billy, as all his body gets tense.

Neil's car is here.

“Wait here, alright?” You quickly nod, but before he can leave the car, you pull him towards you, just to kiss him.

You've never met Neil. Billy doesn't want you anywhere near that devil of a man. And you're alright with it. As you watch him leaving the car and getting inside the house, you regret making him do that just to get you some stupid bag.

On the day Billy finally told you everything, about who his father really is and what he did, you saw your boyfriend cry for the first time. And on that night you held him, not giving a damn to what would happen if your mother caught him in your bedroom. He needed you.

>>>>>>>>>>>> And maybe he needs you< now.>

Taking a deep breath, you step out of the car, and when you reach the porch, you hear a yell. Your heart skips a beat as you run for the door, but on the moment you open it, Billy is already coming out, a black bag in his hand. He stops when he sees you, eyes going wide.

“B, are you alright?” You ask in a soft voice.

“I am, pretty girl. C'mon.” He walks out, taking your hand.

“So this is the plaything you're using this time.” The voice, harsh and loud, comes from inside the house. Both you and Billy stop, turning around. “Sweet little thing. Don't ruin her life as you did with yours.”

“I'll never understand what kind of sick pleasure you have on stepping on me!” Billy yells, moving forward, but not letting go of your hand. “There are a lot of things I should say to you but I just realized it doesn't matter. You don't matter.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> “You won't say anything because you know I'm right.” Neil laughs, eyeing you up and down as if you were nothing. Neil thinks everyone is nothing. < Because that's what he sees every time he looks in the mirror.>

>>>>>>>>>> “I won't say anything because it doesn't matter. Because <you> doesn't matter.” Billy says, squeezing your hand a little. Stepping closer, you lay your forehead on his shoulder, just so he knows you're here, with him. “There are much more important things in my life right now, and it finally made me see who you are and who I am. And I'm so much more than you.”

You can't believe the words coming off his mouth.

And you can't believe you have a part in it. In this change, in this strength.

“You're just a–”

“He's just an amazing man.” You decide to speak, locking eyes with Billy before looking at Neil. “Billy is everything, and you're nothing. Just a sad, mediocre man, who needs to make others feel bad just so you feel better about yourself.”

“I'm leaving now, father.” Billy spits the last word as if it was poison in his mouth. “And I don't want or need you in my life. In our lives.” And he starts walking again, and just before you turn around, you notice a bruise forming on Neil's face. “Hope I'll never see you again.”

A river of profanities leaves Neil's lips, in yells and curses. You keep an eye on Billy, checking if he wants to go back there. To kick him in the gut or something, but Billy is oddly... Peaceful. As he drives away. For good.

“...B.” You say in a low voice, reaching out a hand to touch the nape of his neck. “Are you alright?”

Sighing, he glances at you. “I am.” There isn't a hint of doubt in his voice. “Today I just... He started yelling and I started to feel like before but them... Then I thought about you. And it just clicked.” There are tears in your eyes, and you don't even try to hold them back. “You showed me how good life can be. And the man I want to be, for you. Because you deserve all the love world and I'll give it to you. Through studying, having a good job, and building a life together. Getting married and having kids. All of it. I want all of it... With you.”

“I love you.” You whisper, wiping some tears away. Luckily, he's forced to stop at the red light, and you get the chance to lean on him, kissing all over his face until your lips finally meet his. “I love you, B.”

“Love you too, pretty girl.” He replies, looking up at you on your awkward position, kinda on him, but not really. “I–” He's cut off by some idiot blasting the horns behind.

Rolling your eyes, you go back to your seat as Billy starts moving again. “Don't even bother, we'll have a lot of time to make out.”

“I'm counting on it.” With a wink and a sassy smirk, Billy makes you blush and smile again, as you both cross the sign that says ‘Leaving Hawkins’.

The road is long, and the next years will certainly be difficult. But as long as you're together, you can take it all.
