Liv was glad that he didn’t mention the band anymore either or else she probably couldn’t have held back any mean comment much longer, and quickly focused back on what she had actually come for. And hearing him agreeing to what she had in mind, she flashed him a wide smile. “You are the best! We should start writing as soon as possible!”, she stated, simply presuming that he’d have the time for that. “My manager would probably find out anyones address if I told him to, so you better not disappoint me or there’ll be no use in hiding”, she eventually added with another grin.

Ewan grinned, at the other before placing his glass in the dishwasher. “Sure, I’m up for writing soon” he nodded, “I’ve had a lot of muse lately.” Smiling fondly at the other, he was glad to be having new directions. It was always nice to be able to work on different stuff. “That’s pretty scary, but I guess I’m not really hiding so that’s fine.”

“I didn’t know that,” Matt admitted honestly. It ended up being that latter part of the sentence that caught most of his attention, but as soon as he said it Ewan backtracked and Matt realized he probably didn’t want to talk about it. Laying a hand on his friend’s knee, the blonde attempted to smile at him, “If you ever want to talk about it, I promise I will not find it boring.” But, they didn’t have to and Matt was leaving that as an option. “Yes there are, but people don’t care.”

Ewan shrugged, “I guess a lot of people don’t know much about me.” He knew that was the care, and even when people tried to get him to open it - he just simply didn’t. The only reason some of the comment came out then was simply because he was high. He wasn’t even just slightly high, he was higher than he had been in a long time. He warmly smiled when he felt the hand on his knee, before chuckling slightly. “It’s cool, don’t worry” nodding, a big grin on his face “Everything is fine.”

Rusty shook his head, his smile faltering. “You don’t need to say things like that, Ewan. But I appreciate you trying.” He turned to catch his friend’s eye again, smile firmly back in place. “You drifted?” He asked curiously, wondering whether there had been a reason for them all to distance themselves from each other. “I don’t think we will, actually…” He admitted, at the mention of Ivy. His voice was soft and sad, but it was very clear he had resigned himself to his fate. If she wanted to reach out, that would always be an option. But he didn’t plan on changing anytime soon. “I let her down… she doesn’t want to be near me and- and she’s probably right to stay away. I guess it just isn’t… healthy anymore.” He shrugged, trying to be casual. “It’s okay. I’m okay…” 

“I don’t need to say anything, I agree” Ewan shrugged. “These are the things you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgements that are true and make for peace” he started rambling. Ewan was always coming out with quotes, random facts or stuff like that. He quietly mumbled afterwards “Zachariah 8:16.” Ewan wasn’t even religious, he would consider himself to be more agnostic. But years of church camp, and having to go to church three days a week and even conversion therapy made him able to recite a lot of the bible. But then again, Ewan had always been able to absorb information. He always aced exams, because of this. Especially History because quotes and dates were his things. His Father always said Music was a waste for him, but it was his passion. “Sorry, what i mean by that is just I think if you think something positive about somebody else you should share it. Makes the world a better place, ya know” he smiled, his finger still lingering on the others arm. “Not drifted as such, more just needed space” he admitted, “Working on music with Liv as well, so different paths.”He understood addiction, not personally - but at the same time he understood why people steered clear of each other “I see. Well, who knows what the future will bring.”

“Oh…okay so maybe it wouldn’t have been your thing, but i thought it was pretty cool. I wish I had won though, because then maybe my parents would have let me move to New York earlier to try and be in musicals. I guess it all worked out for the best though in the end.” The blonde shrugged with a grin, shrugging off her pensive thinking as rapidly as it had arrived. “He’s not? I’m really sorry…did he…” she was about to ask him more about his father when he mentioned not wanting to talk about it, stopping in her tracks, and nodding. “Okay, we can talk about anything else you want. Wait, you know In a Crowed of Thousands? How do you know it!? I love that song I think it might be one of my favourites from the show actually. It is a moment when Anastasia knows he’s seen her all along…it’s so sweet…I think it’s the time she decides she loves him.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you truly deserved to win my lady” he playfully joked, chuckling slightly “Well everything happens for a reason you know.” “Maybe if you came earlier you would have never gotten your big break” he suggested, “I’m glad you did though.” He ignored the little comment about his own Father. “Yeah, of courses i know that song. Really good. I was really into the history behind the musical when I was a teenager, so when they made a musical I had to check it out.” Ewan secretly was a big fan of love, he had just never really experienced it. Growing up sure, his Mother loved him but most of the love in his family was warped with greed.

“That is cool too! Have you ever been there?” Matt genuinely did think it was cool though the tone of his voice slightly suggested otherwise, he couldn’t help that. “Yes, it really is and it is sad that people miss so much of that because they are only thinking about the weed, but even that is good for us so nobody cares too much.” Not to mention it would be a bit hypocritical of him to say anything bad about weed. “Yes, but I think some people aren’t meant to do that.”

“I went there once y’know” Ewan shrugged, “With my mum when we were like eight. I think she was trying to make up her mind whether to leave my Father or not. She didn’t.” Before realising he had spilled some personal things about his own life, “But that’s a boring story.” Quickly stirring the conversation elsewhere. “Yeah, that is annoying - there are so many beautiful places in that part of Europe. A lot more than just weed.”

Laughing Oakley shook her head, lifting one shoulder up in a small shrug. “I didn’t win it, a boy who did magic won it…he was quite good, he kept pulling more and more scarves out of his sleeve. Even when you thought he was done…nope, he kept going. I thought it was pretty cool.” There was no disappointment in her voice because this was years ago. Plus she had genuinely found it really impressive. “You’d didn’t like spending time with your dad?” Oakley loved her parents, even despite all they had inadvertently put her through she didn’t think they were to blame, sending her to that rehab had been done out of the goodness of their heart, right? So there was no really to be upset with them, or to think they didn’t love her just as much as anyone else’s parents. The change of topic almost gave the blonde whiplash, not that she commented on it, just widened her pretty blue eyes a little before turning her attention to telling him about work. “Anastasia is so much fun, I have this cool crown at the end when I’m finally a princess again, and I get to sing some of my favourite songs in the world so…I actually really love it. I miss all my friends from Heathers though, like your sister, it’s weird not seeing them everyday, you know?”

“I’ve never really been a fan of magic” Ewan admitted, “Like sure I love it in the movies and stuff. But I’m all about reality, like all these magicians on those talent shows just kinda bore me.” Shrugging, he was slightly high - not that it was obvious, especially for somebody as oblivious as Oakley. “But I get why people like it, I wish I did.” “No, my Dad is a not very nice guy” shrugging, “But that’s boring, lets not talk about that.” Always trying to steer the conversation away from his own personal problems. “That’s so cool. In a crowd of Thousands is such a good song and the history behind it is amazing. Heathers is good, but it’s always good to try new things.”

“The Netherlands, I’m Dutch.” Usually, Matt would just say one or the other, but he had discovered that The Netherlands meant nothing to people, and neither did saying he was Dutch, so both gave him a better shot. Not that Ewan needed both, at this point he either knew or didn’t and it wasn’t all that important either way. “Meh, happiness is not anything if the people around you are sad,” or so he believed, “The right people…you know, the people that are worth your time and are good. You shouldn’t be running around for the people that hurt you.” He was referring to Rusty in this case, though he should have been considering Jason. Matt just didn’t like to think about Jason. 

“Oh, no way” Ewan replied, “My mum is from Norway. So I’m like half Norwegian.” “But the Netherlands is beautiful, so many pretty landscapes. Even some cool windmills, and so rich in history and culture.” Ewan knew a lot of unnecessary information, but he enjoyed that he could talk about most things. “I guess, but still. I think people should care about their own happiness more. But matter of opinion I guess.”

Rusty laughed unable to help himself. He knew he was being unfair, he technically did need to talk to Ewan about Matt. But it was all so complicated, he wasn’t ready to discuss things until he was sure of where they both stood. It was too confusing, it hurt too much. “I disappoint everyone.” He said quietly, a smile still tugging at his lips despite the honesty behind his admission. “You’re not in the band?” He immediately felt guilty for not being aware of the change in line-up but was it really so surprising given the way Theo and Ivy both currently felt about him? “Ivy… isn’t exactly speaking to me right now, I didn’t know.”

Ewan bit hard on his lip at his next comment. Sure, he was always the person that listened to others comments - but it still hurt to hear people he cared about hurting that way. Most people in his life seemed to hurt, even if he did consider a lot of them to be self destructive. “You don’t” he muttered, “You don’t give yourself enough credit”. Lightly stroking the others arm, a small smile placed on his lips. “No” he murmured, “We all kinda drifted. But we’ll be back together soon.” Hearing about Ivy and Rusty no longer talking made Ewan frown a little, but he was used to things like this. After all Ewan didn’t care as much about others opinions, and preferred to form his own opinions on people. “I’m sure you guys will be fine soon enough” Ewan shrugged.

Hearing what he said about the band being family, Liv fought back the urge to roll her eyes once again. She had never really understood what he liked about them but if she wanted him to make music with her as well, it probably was the wrong time to mention that again. “That is great to hear!”, she said instead, glad that she didn’t scare him off with what she was planning to do. “And I can definitely use all of your musical skills for the records but I was actually hoping you could help me with a song or two as well..”, she added, shrugging a little as she gave him another smile, “I mean you being listed as a co writer of songs on my new album wouldn’t be too bad for you either, right..?!”

He hated comments like the one he had just made, but it was true. He didn’t really have a family, so they were the closest thing to one. He knew the others feelings towards them, and sure it boosted his ego - but at the same time, he enjoyed having both the band and Liv in his life. “Fantastic” Ewan grinned, bowing jokingly “I am at your service.” “Yeah, that’d be pretty sweet. How did you find where I’m living? Should I be worried?”

When he finally handed her the drink, Liv immediately took a sip. Even though she’d never admit it, she actually was a little nervous, not knowing if trying something new really was the best idea. But then again, she just wanted to stay true to herself and knew that she was good at what she was doing. “Awesome!”, a wide smile on her face, the blonde still couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyebrows when he mentioned joining that other band again. “You know you could do better than that, right?!”, she stated, not wanting to admit that they actually weren’t that bad. Especially when Ewan would be a part of the group again. “Thought about something a little calmer, more honest. Singer/songwriter, a little country even maybe.. definitely less pop”, she finally tried to explain what she had in mind.

Ewan drank his drink in a few sips, he was dehydrated and that was his favourite drink. Well second favourite after Iced Tea, but even so that drink went down just as smoothly as an Iced Tea. Ewan chuckled at the others comments. She was always dubious of the band, and was constantly telling Ewan he could do better. Ewan didn’t agree, as sure of himself as he was - he loved the band. “Even if I could do better, which I don’t think I could. I love them. They’re my family” he shrugged, as he swirled his glass around. He could never sit still, always having to do something. “Oooo country” raising his eyebrows, “I actually kinda dig country. I can definitely help you there.” “I’m best at drums, but you do realise I’m a man of many talents. Musical instruments wise, that is. Thanks to Daddy trying to buy his love - I had a whole room full of them, and a place to practice and everything.”

Have you seen (EWAN ERIKSEN) around New York? They look a lot like (NICK ROBINSON) but i don’t think they’ve even realized it! Some people say they are (COMPASSIONATE AND WILLING) and (JEALOUS AND PETTY) but all we know for sure is they are (TWENTY-FIVE), (CISMALE, BISEXUAL) and work as a (DRUMMER). I guess only time will tell but for now we’ll just call them the (INTERLOPER). They were born on (14/02/94) and they think that the quote that most describes them is (‘HEY, YOU NEVER TOLD ME NOT TO TELL ANYBODY’)

-Part of the band with Ivy and Theo (Although he is currently not a member, but he basically is)

-Grew up in a very catholic household (Although there was a lot of hypocrisy with his Father’s religion. He was very selective with what he believed). 

Spent most of his summers in Church Camp growing up. Although it was at Church Camp he realised he was bisexual (With a preference for guys).

His mother died when he was 14, and the summer after he was sent to conversion therapy. 

When he turned 18 he blackmailed his Dad into giving him half of the company (Which is worth a lot of money). 

He’s awful at keeping secrets, and is a people person. Always finding out the latest gossip.

Is a walking encyclopaedia. Seems to know weird facts about everything, and is constantly learning new things e.g. languages.

“We both deserve better than that!”, Liv agreed. And as she really believed in that, it had been quite some time since she had actually let someone into her life. Except for a few one night stands that is. “You know I never say no to a drink!”, she agreed with a grin, even though most people would probably say it was too early for that. But then again she wasn’t like most people. “That’s why I was hoping you’d be on board!”, the blonde grinned, happy that he really seemed to think of it as a good idea. “Just thought it’s about time to grow up a little. Music wise I mean..”, she explained with a shrug, not really sure if she was trying to convince him or herself though.

“Absolutely” he loudly exclaimed, before them both a drink. He was just talking soft, but then deciding to mix things up and pour them both an alcohol drink. Just Vodka, lime and soda nothing too hard. Ewan hated the constraints of time, he just liked doing what he wanted and whenever he wanted. If he woke up and wanted a Lasagna for breakfast, you can bet his ass he would have one. Placing both of the drinks on the side, he went up to the counter and yawned before nodding. “Of course, I’m on board. Currently bandless. Don’t get me wrong, I will be in the band in the next few weeks but I love having different projects” he nodded, “So tell me more about the type of music you want to do.” Although, the band had a particular style - Ewan, the privileged kid he was growing up had many tutors learning different styles of music.

“Iced coffee is the best kind of coffee and if you do not agree I will feel personally attacked.” she teased, “Teddy always calls me out for wanting Iced Coffee, he used to tell me baristas would think it was weird that I wanted it in the middle of the winter, and oh fucking well…” giggled crossing her legs on the couch. “It is 7:30pm but you know its fine, not like I’ve got anywhere to be tomorrow…” licking her bottom lip, mostly due to nerves - no clue as to why.

Ivy shrugged “People do weird things,  I know that much… I mean.. Teddy.. He’s perfect he doesn’t have any weird things, not that i think anyway” humming, wondering if that’s how Ewen really felt.  “Do you like anyone at the moment..?”

Soon she was blushing, of course they were loud before, they were doing it on a tourbus. But now, she hoped that they could at least, be … slightly less.. obnoxious.  

“Feed you .. Ugh.. You sound like the plant from that weird musical movie…” laughing before sighing “I bumped into Tessa a couple days ago…. She still hates me..”

“It could be a fucking blizzard outside and I’d still say Iced Coffee is the right option” he chuckled, “I get ya there.” Ewan loved the drink, although he personally preferred Iced Tea. “Gotta have something to keep the heart beating” chuckling, as he took another long sip.

“He certainly has weird things, and you know it” he chuckled, before letting out a small yawn. “Do I like anybody at the moment?” he loudly exclaimed, “Is our current political climate stable. That’s a strong no.” He tried his best to not turn everything into a joke, but it was just the easy option for him.

“Little Shop of Horrors. How dare you belittle it to some plant from that weird musical movie” he joked with the other, “And the plant is called Audry ||.”  “She’ll come around, hopefully” he reassured the other, “and if not. Just remember how lucky you are to have me in your life.”

At some point, Matt lost the will and strength to keep holding his hand in front of his face and he let it fall back onto his chest. Per usual, the chaotic gay that he is, Matt was unable to sit properly, so he was on his back on the ground, with his knees bent over the edge of the couch. It was awkward because of the sheer length of his legs, but considering how high he was, he couldn’t give less of a shit. Everything was comfortable if you were only fleetingly aware of where you were. “I wish I could bring some shit from home because that stuff is the best,” he mumbled. “At least I am making somebody happy, that counts for many things.” Especially when he struggled with the ability to make himself happy. Though, Matt was pretty sure that everybody struggled with that at some point. “Just not always the right people, you know?”

Ewan was able to handle things a lot easier than most. Like sure, he felt high - but he knew his limits. Something, he knew that most people did not. Something Ewan took to his advantage on many occasions. Ewan was still rubbing his face, and was just chuckling at the other. “Where are you from again?” Ewan asked, before laying back on the sofa his arm drooping to the side. Ewan frowned slightly at the next comment, but he was definitely here for the other to open up. “Well your happiness should come first Matt” he told the other, “But, sure. You make a lot of people happy. What do you mean right people?”

“Only a six hm..?! You can keep him then!”, Liv teased before focusing again on why she was actually here. And when she heard what he said about not only being a pretty good but an exceptional drummer, she definitely knew why she had come to him. It was exactly the attitude that she needed if she wanted this to work. “Whatever you’re saying..”, she replied with a grin. It wasn’t that often, that anyone wanted less than she was willing to pay them, actually it hadn’t happened before, but it was definitely better than the other way round. “You’re actually the first one to call it pretty cool though.. everyone else pretty much said I’m crazy for wanting to try something different. I need to ‘look out for my brand’, you know..?!”, rolling her eyes, Liv knew that it didn’t show on her face, but it had actually hurt her that apparently no one really believed that she could be more than just some teenage idol in sparkly dresses.

“Well he was an 8, but then his performance in bed and his clinginess became a 6. A 6 who’s number I need to block” he chuckled. Ewan didn’t really sleep around as such, like his number wasn’t that high. “You can definitely do better” he jokingly bowed, “You only deserve the best. Heck, I even can do better.” Biting down on the mint in his mouth, he moved over to his countertop and invited the other to join him. “Would you like a drink?” he asked, before pouring himself a bottle of water. “It is pretty cool. I’m a strong believer in diversifying your product” Ewan nodded, “And with me? You’re set.” Chuckling, he wasn’t actually that full of himself.

Taking a quick look around his apartment, Liv was glad that the other wasn’t mad at her for losing contact. Most people would have been but she had had her reasons and he understood that. Something that wasn’t the case very often. “Ohh, too bad I didn’t come to see you yesterday then..”, the blonde replied with a smirk before sitting down on the couch. “I’m currently putting together a show and recoding a few new songs and I need a pretty good drummer for that..”, she immediately came to the point. She had always been someone who knew exactly what she wanted, so there was no use in beating about the bush. “I’m paying pretty good by the way…”, she added, glancing across the room once again.

Ewan stretched again, and then started to relax again. He wasn’t expecting company, but he would always welcome it. After all, he hadn’t seen Liv in ages so it’d be nice to find out what is happening with her life. “Yeah, although I’ve had better. So wouldn’t want you to think I was settling for a six out of ten” he chuckled, as he brushed his fingers through his fringe again. “Well if you’re looking for a pretty good drummer, i’m not sure where you’ll find one” he informed the other jokingly, “But if you’re looking for an exceptional drummer then I’m your guy.” “You know I don’t want your money, i’ll take a normal pay and donate the rest you were willing to some climate change charity or something” he shrugged, it was never about money with him. It was about the music. “So a new show, that’s pretty cool”

Ivy laughed, she knew what that was like. Except - she’d done the exact opposite of what her parents wanted in the end, something that her and Ewen had in common. “I trust you sweet, We both know how important it is to keep up appearances in a holier than thou family situation - we just choose to go against them most of the time…” trailing off and sipping her drink, he knew just how she liked her iced coffee, and she knew the boys had bought the syrups for her which she appreciated. 

“Mhm.. Sure.. Not even the slightest bit jealous? Didn’t you really like this one? Or was it the one before? I can never remember..” she was teasing again, but it was so easy - Ewen was like her brother, they all were - except for Theo of course. 

“Oh shush” she blushed and bit her lip “You’ve not heard anything because.. We’re totally respectful of you and the space.” that was a lie, they’d done it multiple times in the kitchen and the sofa, and realistically anywhere they could possibly do so because well. They missed each other.  “What do you want to know?”

Ewan knew deep down, that his Mother would have always accepted him. Sure, she would’ve probably never gone against her father - but even Ewan would have stripped somethings back to make it work. But when she passed, there was nothing holding him to his Father anymore. Heck, he even had his name changed to his Mothers maiden name. His mother was from Norway, and moved to the states many decades ago - and then had Ewan and the ‘Brown’ family was perfect to all those gazing from afar. He had changed his surname last year, and hadn’t really told that many people. It was only paperwork where it mattered really, his friends never had to see him sign his last name. “Exactly, and here we are sipping God’s Gift to mankind - Iced Coffee” he let out a warm grin.

“Sure, I liked him. I don’t know about really liked. I once caught him alphabetising my vinyls. Like get a hobby” shaking his head, “Anyway, I already had a weird order. But anyway, lets skip that talk. I hope he’s happy, and ready to have an affair with the pool boy when he’s raised two strapping young citizens here to serve God and our country.” Jokingly saluting, before rolling his eyes at himself - god, he did sound bitter.

“Yeah, sure I remember what you guys used to be like. Respect my ass” loudly chuckling, “Maybe I’m just going deaf with old age.” “I don’t know, just feed me with information - I need it. I’m starving” dramatically pretending to faint into his chair.
