never in his life did he expect her to say something so silly and wild . sure , he disliked chelsea as much as anyone , but to sympathize with jimmy .. “ gemma .. my flabber is so fuckin' gasted right now … you’re better than that … jimmy ? ‘ i’m - only - gonna - pick - chelsea - because - she - says - she - looks - like - megan - fox ’ jimmy ? c'mon , he’s a walking cliché ! ” wes wasn’t blaming jimmy for being shallow — everyone was sometimes , in their opinion , at least to a degree — but he could blame jimmy for being boring . it’s so boring that he broke the rules and asked about her appearance . it’s so boring that he based his choice very clearly on the fact that he thought he’d be marrying megan fox’s doppelganger . it’s so fucking boring that he became a giant tool the second he realized that chelsea wasn’t the embodiment of all his heterosexual fantasies . “ i’ve been threatened into consuming maybe half a box of liquid iv , so i’ve got my bases covered . ” pun wholly , completely , one - hundred - percent obviously intended . “ is it … supposed to be just agave ? did someone fuck up the recipe once and they all just decided that it was better that way ? ”
"oh i have no doubt you could," she giggled when he flexed a little for emphasis. gemma didn't expect to have this conversation about reality dating tv shows with wes. but she would indulge with whoever would listen to her rants on the topic. "yes, oh my god. justice for ad. that's my girl, i loved her so much. i know way too many clay's." she scoffed. didn't every girl know at least one guy who acted similarly. "and i never would've thought i'd feel bad for jimmy at the start but by the end i was rooting for him, 'cause damn... chelsea was annoying as hell after the pods." she could go on and on, having plenty of thoughts and opinions on this season. but that was for another time. "alright, deal. just promise you'll drink water somewhere in between all those shots." gemma could already just imagine how the night would end. even though she fully planned to have fun as well, she'd still keep an eye out and try to make sure wes was okay. she got herself a couple tequila shots and tossed them back with ease. "did you know, like all of the most popular tequilas aren't a hundred percent agave and that's why the hangovers so fucking horrible?" she recalled the fact she'd heard in a tiktok of a mexican tour guide.

“ the world’s not ready , ro , ” he insisted , draping an arm around her shoulders . “ and are you saying you’re not honored to be my one singular call from the slammer ? ” now , he definitely gets more than the one phone call , considering how often he’s a … guest at his local precinct , but that was beside the point . he closes his eyes in mock despair , shaking their head and pressing a hand to his chest . “ you wound me . and here i was thinking you loved my silly little ‘ please bail me out ’ phone calls . maybe i need a new agent . ” with a mournful sigh , he dropped his arm , knocking back their second shot of the evening , hardly wincing at the burn it sent down his throat . at least she wasn’t trying to stop him — not that she’d ever been able to , but the attempt was always appreciated ( mostly because he found her constant futile attempts entirely too endearing ) . crooked smirk spreading across their lips at her narrowed eyes and outstretched pinky finger , he hooked his own with hers in a promise . “ you’ve got it , boss . wouldn’t wanna face the wrath of ro , now would i ? ”
she raised her glass up to him , a ghost of a fond smile made the corners of her lips twitch . “ to another year of wes lee . may it be better than the last ... may the world give you more achievements – safer ones , by the way . because i don't think i could survive another ‘ i think someone tried to mug me ’ call at 4am . ” her lips tipped upward fully , a wide grin spread across her lips finally . “ happy birthday , wes . ” rio tipped her head back , draining the rest of her champagne . HERE WE GO , she thought to herself while she reached out for another glass . did she like the idea of twenty - seven shots of top shelf vodka being poured down his throat ? well , it didn't thrill her that they'd potentially end up plastered all over social media come 3am . but it was his birthday , and it was HER JOB to make sure he made it back to his place in one piece . “ promise me one thing though ... liquid iv before bed and another when you wake up tomorrow . promise , ” rio held her pinky out to him , eyebrows raised and expectant . “ or else . ” did she have an idea to what the threat would be ? of course not . especially not with the amount of champagne she'd had to drink already .

as if to further prove her point , wes released a huff and exaggeratedly rolled their eyes at her . “ i’m offended you don’t expect it from me at this point . it’s literally a stepping stone of my personality , ” he said haughtily , chin tilted with all the airs and graces that certainly were not warranted , given what he’d just said . “ no , no , it’s fine … ” it wasn’t fine and their wince as she relaxed her grip proved it . “ usually i don’t mind , but not if it gets in the way of me absolutely destroying some tacos . ” as they spoke and the truck was within a couple of yards ( for 2am , the line of drunk people waiting to order wasn’t as heinous as it could've been ) , the smell properly had his mouth watering . “ personally , i’d put it at the absolute fuckin’ bottom of the list , considering that avocado tastes like puree’d salad . ” sighing dramatically in relief , wes made a show of massaging their lower back as if carrying her had been some huge burden ( and obviously it wasn’t — it never was — but it’d be just another reason for her to call them strange if he didn’t make some kind of joke at her expense ) . with a knowing shake of their head , he made sure to order enough for himself and then also for her sticky fingers , finally sitting unceremoniously in the chair across from hers . “ mmm , i’ll probably stay for a bit and sneak out once you’ve knocked out , ” he smiled innocently at her , brows raised in a decidedly not - so - innocent manner . “ cat can take care of himself ... but that also means he has full reign over my apartment . i think it’s in the best interest of all of my furniture that i don’t leave him unsupervised overnight . ” sweet smile slipping into something more lecherous , he sucked his teeth and shrugged , leaning back in his chair . “ who do you think i’ll be texting on the subway ? apparently he’s in town for his bachelor’s and he oh , so bravely asked if i would be his hall pass . and honestly , what kind of monster would i be if i didn’t indulge him ? think of it as charity ; i’ll probably be the last satisfying fuck of his life . ”
" has anyone ever told you how fucking dramatic you are ? " she teases , the slight strain in his voice an audible clue that her hand placement could use some readjusting . " whoops , sorry , " she mutters , loosening her grip to give wes some room to breathe . " whatever , i kinda want a burrito anyways 'cause that way i can just dip the burrito in the guac and it's less of a mess , " and she's completely unwilling to get even a drop of food on such a cute top . " i said you were a freak who doesn't like avocados , i didn't say you were a freak because you don't like avocados . . . that's just one bullet point on the long list of reasons of why you're fucking strange , " she says , with love . it's surprising how fast wes has managed to walk them both down the block , the sizzling of veggies and meat on the grill like music to her ears as she hops off of his back , unconsciously using his shoulder to catch her balance . it takes everything in her to not order one of everything on the menu , eventually settling for a chicken burrito with a side of chips and guac ⸻ the perfect combination of drunk munchies in her humble opinion . she's quick to take a seat at one of the foldable tables in the truck's vicinity , receipt clutched in her hand as she patiently awaits for her number to be called over the loudspeaker . " are you staying over at mine tonight ? i could call an uber to come pick us up after we eat unless you need to go home and take care of cat or something ⸻ i'm honestly shocked you didn't ditch me for that guy that was giving you sex eyes for , like , half the time we were in there . . . he seemed like your type , no ? "

“ nana , ” they said , reaching across the table to put both hands on her cheeks , looking seriously into her eyes . “ it’s very important to me that you know how genius you are . ” nanami as one of the hex girls ? genuinely one of the best ideas she’s ever had . “ tell me you’re being jennifer hale and then tell me you’re gonna make this part of your personality forever . ” was he making it nearly impossible for her to reply ? maybe ( definitely ) . he slowly sat back down , finger pointing seriously in her direction so she kept their words in mind even as he migrated back to their earlier topic . “ are you doubting my love for my bestest bestie on the planet ? i’m appalled ! ” genuinely , he didn’t think he’d ever said the word appalled in their life , but he’d heard rio say it a few weeks ago and this seemed the perfect opportunity . “ i can already hear my dad’s anti - scoob campaign .. nana , we have to do this . ”
" well, you've got a point there. scooby's pretty iconic in his own right, especially since that's the reason i've decided to be one of the hex girls for halloween this year. " yes, nami may be thinking six months ahead, but she has to be prepared. " there's one in malaysia? that mouse is everywhere! " nanami huffs in frustration, taking a sip of her third bottomless mimosa. maybe that has to do with why she's thinking so intently about a hypothetical amusement park. " there are! i just think that guy was jealous i got there first! " nami has only ever been to said park a handful of times, and even if sponsored, she doesn't know if she'd want to go again. her head tilts, eyes sparkling as she looks at wes. " aw, you'd do that for me? " nami can't help teasing them, a grin spreading on her features. " no, i don't think so... and honestly, there's just as many people obsessed with halloween as there are obsessed with disney. i think this is a brilliant idea. "

“ well , depends on what kinda places you mean . ” there were honestly too many to count even within the surrounding five blocks , let alone all of new york . “ i mean , i can list five bars off the top of my head , but that’s not helpful if you’re not looking to drink . ” considering her question , they pursed their lips in thought . “ but who cares if you only go downtown ? if what you like is there , then fuck everyone else’s opinions , y’know ? ”

don’t laugh . don’t fucking laugh . his conscience , unfortunately , did not stop them from laughing , the mental image of the other person’s face when she said that to them just too good . “ dead mice , huh ? ” he ran a hand over his face in an attempt at controlling himself . “ listen , um , maybe don’t compare them to snake food next time … ”

“ i think , ” they began , blinking at beau with a blank look on his face . “ that you put maybe a little more thought into it than i did … ” truthfully , he hadn’t gotten to the ride concept part of the fantasy , stuck wholly on the big - picture idea itself . if they’re being generous to himself , then he knew he wanted to include the whole ceremony with the monster story and the hologram thing and ... that's pretty much it . “ the only snack i can think of to have would be those scooby ice creams you get from the guy in the truck , you know ? with the bubblegum eyeballs . ”
" imagine the rides ... the entertainment ... the food and drinks ? " with his elbow resting on the table , beau drew a hand up to rest under his chin – a DREAMY haze glazing over his eyes . " to this day , i think about how there would be a little ride where it's like their souls traveling back to their body . the twists and turns on that ride ... " a small amount of disappointment burrowed itself into his stomach , a slight frown tugging at the corners of his lips . " it's a damn shame . we could have had it all. "

feigning shock , they widened their eyes , pressing a hand over his chest as if she’d wounded him . “ married ? now i’m scared . i was thinking more like long term , long distance , low commitment , casual soulmate, you know ? ” their smile only grew the more she spoke , both amused and endeared at her enthusiasm for this hypothetical theme park they just had to create , now . “ if we got sarah michelle gellar and freddie prince jr , i think i’d probably lose my fuckin’ marbles , actually . ” furrowing their brows in confusion , he tilted his head in question at her last suggestion . “ is cyber chase .. spooky ? like , at all ? ” from the title , it didn’t sound like it , but he could easily be wrong ..
like yejin's brain was mildly functioning, but for that reason she was in completely agreement that this might be the best idea yet. she leans forward, "wes, i'd never be scared of that. i swear if this idea actually gets made into something. we should probably get married. and even like in comparison to marvel and all the licensing, it should probably be cheaper to make and i just know that cast would easily be down for a reprisal. and! we could keep using scooby doo on everything because he's a literal animated dog. and! other parks or rides could be about any of the monsters of the weeks, or my favorite animated movie cyber chase."

“ and i could’a survived more if they tried ! ” he lifted an arm and half - heartedly flexed , brows raised as if to say ‘ see how big and tough i am ? ’ deflating again with a silly grin , he absently swirled the tequila around in his shot glass as she spoke , nodding along in agreement . “ you’re literally so right . if there’s one thing i took away from this season , it’s that ad deserves the absolute fucking world and then some . ” if wes was anything , it was impractical . did he know that yelling at the screen would do nothing but get him a noise complaint from his neighbors ? of course , but that didn’t stop them from vocalizing his outrage at clay leaving her at the altar . now , he himself wasn’t the poster child for healthy relationships , but it was human decency not to abandon someone on a day they’ve clearly been looking forward to for a long time . “ how about you drink however many you’re comfortable with and i’ll match you times two ? ” terrible , horrible , no good , very bad idea .. but his grin just widened .
"congrats and happy birthday! only two failed muggings is pretty good." gemma was unsure if all that was supposed to be funny or depressing. but instead chose to give credit to the fact that it was meant to be celebration for a birthday. "don't even get me started on love is blind. but amy and johnny were seriously the only healthy couple. i'm so glad they worked out and still are goin' strong." she grinned and shook her head. of course, birthday shots were a given when out celebrating. "i'll do a couple shots with ya, but uh... i dunno if there's a way to do all twenty-seven and not feel like absolute shit tomorrow."

“ i don’t know what to tell you , ” wes lifted their shoulder in a half - shrug , shaking his head in grudging acceptance — they’d , unfortunately , gotten so hooked on the show that just seeing some of the people on his fyp had elicited a bout of ( arguably unwarranted ) burning annoyance . “ getting married definitely isn’t on my 2024 bingo card , but i’m also not fuckin’ around proposing to someone when i’m clearly not ready , either . i’ll be wishing nothing but bad things on clay … seven years of bad luck and all that . ” with a startled laugh , wes rolls their eyes good - naturedly , unable to help but wince at the idea — him ? as the bachelor ? it was laughable , at best . “ oh , it'd be no contest , babe . all the others shouldn't even bother showing up if you're gonna be my potential soulmate . ” impressed , wes considered logan’s suggestion , weighing their options — did he really want to wake up with the fattest hangover of their life ? no , obviously not . “ i think you might be on to something , ” he agrees with a grin , raising his shot to clink the glass against logan’s at the other's exclamation . “ bottoms up ! ”
logan's head tilts at wes' list of things he's survived : one of these things is NOT like the others . " i didn't know a couple from a reality tv show getting married was life threatening , man . besides , who gives a fuck about love is blind ? we need to be talking about the couples from LOVE ISLAND . now that's a show . maybe for your next birthday , you could be the bachelor ... and i'd be first in line to sign up . " he shoots wes a playful little kiss , shortly followed by a bout of laughter . " 27 shots is gonna end with you on your ass — you should split 'em . get random people to celebrate with you and take a shot — that way , you're really only having 13 ... and a half . " logan would normally be fully supportive of such shenanigans , but he's not sure he really wants to be hauling wes DEADWEIGHT out of here later tonight . " — here , we'll start it off . " waves the bartender over , orders two shots of ice cold , top shelf tequila , and thrusts the shot glass into wes' hands immediately upon arrival . " happy birthday , wes ! "

“ oh , like eleven or something ? i haven’t really been keeping count , ” he offered with a shrug , pursing their lips as they tried to remember the exact number . “ i’m on craigslist and fiver , actually . i put my name on the listing or whatever it's called , but half the time they don’t believe it’s actually me ‘til i get there .. which is way more fun ; nearly sent an eight year old ringbearer into cardiac arrest he was so excited . ”

“ i think i’ve achieved the impossible , ” wes said with a grin , arms spread to either side of him in a vague gesture of accomplishment . “ i managed to survive two failed muggings , the worst flu i’ve ever had in my life and only one of the couples getting married on love is blind , all to end up here ... on the anniversary of my birth ... again … ” it was honestly a feat , at this point , having been fully convinced he’d likely be pushing daisies before his twenty - fifth birthday . “ to celebrate , i’m thinking birthday shots … — nothing says ‘ LIFE ’ like enough vodka to kill a man . how many do you think i can get through before i’m really in danger ? i’ve got twenty - seven to get through , but if i space them out , i’m sure i’ll be fine . ”

“ god , i wish , ” they said with a frown , shaking their head in defeat . “ i can’t even get siri to stop calling me bitch face after aria changed it . what’s worse , it’s the british guy , so it’s like i’m being bullied by dumbledore every time i wanna ask a question . ” with a sigh , they offer a sympathetic pat to the shoulder . “ might be time for both of us to call geek squad or whoever is in charge of that stuff these days . ”
“ dude , you any good with tech ? i’m trying to get this smart home thing working , and all i’m managing to do is freak out my dog . pretty sure he thinks i’ve given him a new name . like , i say ‘ alexa ’ and he comes running , tail wagging a mile a minute , with his favorite squeaky toy . ” // @frivclous
