everett watched his brother gather up his things and honestly right then he was thinking that all sounded fucking nuts but hey , who was he to stand in the way of disaster ? sometimes he couldn’t help but stand back and spectate the car crash that was ashers life whether it was ending up raising his ex and best friends baby , being totally oblivious to people interested in him or being in the centre of insane drama . he was a bit jealous . “ fuck . well i guess the only way to come through at a time like this is to fly the fuck over there . love a bestie you can rely on , “ he leaned on the door frame , “ buuuut have you considered that she might still yell at you if you fly to texas ? isn’t her other boyfriend that fucked mia already out there ? “ he knew who lafayette was , it was just funnier to say it like that . 

while he might not have always been thinking things entirely through, he wasn’t an insensitive person. on one hand he understood the question but on the other in his mind it was as simple as the fact that noah had said yes. asher took things literally, even if he might not have been an ever present force then when he said things he meant them and he would always come through in the end. he actually took a moment to turn over everetts words, “i don’t know but it doesn’t really matter. she can yell at me if it makes her feel better,” he shrugs it off, the thought not concerning him in general. the mention of lafayette takes him back to the previous encounter. “dunno. maybe. but me and him can get along,” just like he got along with everyone... it was a narrow view of the situation lacking greater understanding even if he had felt empathetic and hurt by the way the other had seen himself previously. wasn’t all that laid to rest? “we can both be in one place together. at the end of the day we’re probably going to exist in each others lives for a long time. i don’t get why it’d be a problem. i like laff and it’s good if he’s there for noah.”

sliding on his jacket as he zipped up his holdall, “well, she was really mad at me... i think... because i didn’t notice that she left when we were building that big school. so i said i could go to texas and i guess now i’m going to go to texas because actions speak louder than words, right?” he looked at his brother, “i definitely want to go,” so why did it seem like a recipe for disaster?

             ❝  do  you  always  need  people  to  spell  shit  out  for  you?  ❞  words  are  spoken  without  malice  (  surprisingly  ),  mainly  curious  if  that’s  how  she  should  bother  communicating  with  him  moving  forward  to  save  her  any  irritation.  ❝  most  catch  my  drift  when  i  say  stuff  like  that.  ❞  though  that’s  not  entirely  accurate.  truthfully,  naomi  didn’t  speak  much  to  others  if  there  was  nothing  for  her  to  gain  and  when  there  was,  it’s  usually  something  of  a  game.  given  the  other’s  obvious  naivety,  she  knows  she  should  clarify  what  he  might  be  able  to  expect  on  their  field  trip,  but  she’s  curious  of  his  reaction.  ❝  well,  thank  you  for  not  making  me  enjoy  it  by  myself.  ❞  a  wave  of  her  hand,  ❝  but  i  been  on  my  own  a  long  time,  i  don’t  need  you  reading  my  maps  or  being  my  guide.  i’ll  make  sure  we  make  it  there  and  back  safely.  ❞  maybe.  sometimes,  getting  lost  adds  to  the  trill.

his brain was sometimes the equivalent of little cartoon birds flying around in circles except way less dizzying. he laughs at the question mainly because the way it’s phrased but he actually gives it some consideration, “well, i have been told that i can be kinda slow... sometimes i don’t get what people are talking about,” he muses without any negativity attached, no hurt feelings or upset. asher was well equipped to deal with the ways he sometimes lacked and there were odd occasions when he understood better what was going on around him. he didn’t have a lot of smarts but he did have some common sense. “you’ve been on your own a long time?” he didn’t really get what the context of the comment was but happily mulling along, “that’s it. you can make sure i don’t get lost. my supervisor for the day. i promise i won’t be too annoying. if i am then you can yell at me. i’m an amazing target for yelling,” he assures. he sure did get shouted at a lot by pretty much every woman he’d had the opportunity to meet on this trip.

zzekii​:

“it’s quite the unique place,” zeki agreed, nodding. though, he was biased. he’d been taught his whole life to love his homeland, though they didn’t reside there anymore. “that’s a great question. if you’re lucky, maybe, but i’ve never asked.”

“you’ve never asked that and you’ve been here more than once? dude, that is so disappointing. that’s like a freaking crime,” he joked, a wide smile still on his face. sometimes asher was truly in a world of his own but at least it was a good one. “what’s your favourite snack? that you can get here obviously. don’t say something they don’t have because then i’ll start wanting it and have to cry when i can’t have it.”

xramonax​:

ramona let out a laugh, clapping her hands together very lightly at the younger male. “fantastic. your hard work has clearly been paying off,” they responded, clasping their hands together tightly. “oh, that’s okay. i was just asking a question about plants, but it’s nothing i can’t look up later. your tricks are entertaining, anyways.”

“you really think so?” he was practically beaming, impressed with himself and ready to find everett to beg him to take a video to send back home. he wasn’t a rude person though and listening to ramona, he still grinned brightly trying to figure out what they had been talking about. plants. he actually knew a little about plants although he wasn’t sure what the question had been. “i like plants. especially cacti... although i did only find out that man eating cow plants don’t actually exist a few months ago. it was a life changing moment.”

NOAH: you'd do that?

ASHER: yeah

gertayes​:

“Or maybe everything is shit and you’re just delusional,” she pointed out. She wasn’t trying to be a Debbie Downer, it was simply where her head went over ‘non-stop amazing-ness’. Her entire mood changed at his question. Gertie didn’t mind confrontation, sometimes she craved it, but this was a whole different kind of confrontation. The kind she sucked at. “My– what?” She practically choked on air, exhaling a sound mixed between a nervous laugh and a cough. She must’ve been a little more transparent than she’d thought if Asher was catching on. “I don’t get crushes,” she stated as if doing so could will it into existence. “Why do you ask?”

“eh,” like water off a ducks back, the comment about delusional doesn’t really get taken into consideration with him as he continues looking at her. the reaction doesn’t really shock him and luckily for gertie, despite being sensitive, he had nothing going on in terms of his ego so he wasn’t overthinking her response. “oh,” he said, an entertained look on his face because although he might have been a little dumb most of the time, he could tell something different was going on. “you don’t get crushes? not ever,” he asks, prompting even further, clearly finding the whole thing funny. “i’ve had like a hundred crushes. i can’t believe you’ve never even had one,” he raised an eyebrow, tapping his elbow as he stepped a little closer, “are you telling lies to me? that’s pretty mean you know, gertie, i’m a bit gullible.”

noah 💌 the annoying andrews

NOAH: you miss me but you didn't even know i was gone :/ oddly enough that makes me very sad

NOAH: what's the point in coming back to be best friends for a few more months? eventually we're going to leave for the summer and you're going to disappear again

NOAH: kinda wish we'd just let it drop already

NOAH: but i should probably dash have fun in turkey

ASHER: ok

ASHER: i understand

[typing]

ASHER: do u want me to come to texas?

[ashdrews]

naomifm​:

             finally,  something  she  can  potentially  agree  with.  ❝  never  been,  but  hawaii  does  sound  pretty  bomb.  ❞  naomi  leans  closer  to  showcase  her  interest,  a  mischievous  glint  behind  her  hazel  hues,  ❝  did  you  get  into  any  trouble  while  you  were  there?  i’ve  heard  both  the  scenery  and  the  people  are  gorgeous.  ❞  plus,  there  was  that  thing  they  said  about  people  who  can  dance  —  yeah,  hawaii  is  definitely  on  her  list  of  places  she  hopes  to  visit.  laughter  bubbles  from  her  throat  at  his  questions  and  she’s  about  to  say  no  when  she  realizes  that  may  not  be  quite  right.  ❝  actually,  they  usually  do,  now  that  i  think  about  it.  red  ones,  to  be  specific,  hence  the  name.  would  you  be  interested  in  taggin’  along  when  i  go  check  it  out?  i  promise  it’ll  be  fun.  ❞

he liked that they could agree on that, or at least on something, not that it would have deterred him from making conversation if not. “trouble?” well, he’d certainly been in his fair share of trouble mainly inadvertently over the weeks that he’d been in hawaii but none of it had been serious or really involved any dire consequences besides being yelled at by other people. things back then had been complicated and yet more simple, he’d felt like he had more of a grip on his own existence in a sense but now here he was and he was starting afresh, trying to figure out a new spot in the student body. “red ones?” he liked red, how could he refuse such an offer? “bet!” he jumped up immediately to follow wherever she was going in the hopes of his mission being completed. “i’ll totally hang out with you and go searching,” he was already imagining how good it’d be when they found them. “but i’m just warning you, i can’t read maps and my phone always dies so i can’t be the navigation man. i can’t be trusted.”

[ashdrews]

mclxnie​:

“it is a long name,” mel agreed with a laugh and a nod, “but don’t worry, i won’t make you say it. i’ll handle all that.” they’d been listening to a few duolingo lessons and videos on the plane to get used to the turkish language - how to pronounce things right and all that. she knew her attempts would be rusty but at least she had some idea what was the semi-correct way to say things. laughing a bit harder, mel gave him a look as they tucked the paper into their bag and grabbed the bag they’d left on the couch. “a hobby or a necessity to live?” they teased. “look at you! alright, let’s go. the palace waits for no one.”

“can’t it be both?” he asked with a lingering grin as he bounded in the direction they were headed in. it was simple really when it came to asher, if you were a person in his life then he’d follow you anywhere without question. he didn’t really even need to know where he was going because as long as it was with mel then he knew that things would be just great like always. even with the huge amount of time that he had spent out of the loop, he still thought of his friendships the same way. for asher, things never really changed and he still turned up with the same joy in his heart for those he cared about (occasionally even those he barely knew). “you know, it’s so good to get time to hang out again. it reminds me of being on the ss. things were so different then but sometimes i miss it,” that was the honest truth. even if things had been chaotic, he often still missed the strange and funny memories that he had made and the people he had met like troy and duckie who had added something extra to his life.

gertayes​:

Gertie felt… off. Homesick, but not for home. Lonely, but she didn’t want to be around anyone. All in all, she wished she could’ve just stayed in Uganda, distracted by the physical labor enough to ignore everything that weighed heavy on her mind; the hollowness, the stress, the realization she didn’t actually want to be a lawyer and was just wasting more of her life away on something that would never happen. She should appreciate their new temporary home after the lack of running water, but she kind of wanted to hop on a plane back to Africa. “Don’t you say that about everything?” She asked, walking in behind Asher, gym bag draped over her shoulder.

whatever gertie had been putting out there for the past few weeks or longer, asher hadn’t been picking up. despite that upon seeing her responding to him, “maybe everything is amazing. non-stop amazing-ness,” he was cheery about it, a grin on his face. he wasn’t the smartest guy in the world but he also knew that he was an optimist, that he saw the best in things until it was impossible to do so or his emotions became too overwhelming to see past. swinging around to stand in front of her holding the strap of his satchel (which was filled with textbooks about rock types), “hey, just wondering... am i your crush now?” he asked rather pointedly, a completely dumb and not very expectant look on his face.

noah 💌 the annoying andrews

NOAH: YOU'RE IN TURKEY?!

NOAH: aw man now i gotta message cecilya and ask her how it's going, i wonder if she's met any turkish people that could be her long lost family, we could be having a whole scavanger hunt rn

NOAH: i dunno if i AM coming back. sometimes i think i should bc i really DO want to finish my degree on the other hand i can do that anywhere and it doesn't have to be there so i dont know

bubbles pop up and disappear like a hundred times before finally just disappearing all together

NOAH: [ unsent ] sometimes i think its probably just better to stay home and let everyone move one without me

ASHER: yeah!

ASHER: [typing and stopping]
