Sounds like a hell of a night to me. Better than listening to your roommate talk about how shitty it is to be a big frat boy with no sex life. It’s truly something that could be made into a mini web series. #FratBoyProbz

I needed a night to stay in. Pro-tip, watching movies drunk makes them so much better. Your roommate sounds like a tool, to be honest. From the mouth of a former Sorority girl, the want to get laid. The worst of the worst frat boys don’t get laid. I’d probably watch that, though. Should start making that your snap story. Can just upload it at the end of the day. Instant vlogger.

“Yeah? Sounds better than just stuffing my face with actual pasta,” Dustin said with a small smile to follow after. “Though, conning is harsh, how dare you feed her things that are good for her. Like, you fucking monster,” Dustin teased as he took a bite of his 4x4 burger. After he finished chewing and such and began to explain himself, he kept an eye on Macy to see how she’d react, he figured it wasn’t something that she’d been expecting the two of them to talk about - Dustin never thought it’d be a conversation that the two of them would have to have either, but here they were. When she just said ‘okay’, Dustin thought that that was it. Shrugging his shoulders some, Dustin said, “I mean, it’s better than drinking myself to liver failure and making a bigger idiot of myself in the media, right?” he asked and then shifted a little in his seat, arms crossing over his broad chest. “I just… I know that I want me and you to work and I want us to last forever, but that’s only gonna happen if I can actually give you everything I can without being some big lush, ya know? And I mean, what kind of role model would I be to Julia if she saw me stumbling around everywhere and slurring words and all that? I don’t want her to think of me like that.”

“You can probably get away with it, Mr. Athlete. Before a big fight. Isn’t carb loading a thing? Maybe that was the swim team. I cancelled my gym membership, I don’t know.”Macy nodded before taking a bite of her burger.“I know, I know. Special spot in hell for making her eat her veggies. Though I swear to God it actually tastes good.” She smiled, putting her hands up in mock defense. Macy turned her chair, so she was entirely facing her boyfriend after she finished talking. This was still processing- but Dustin wanting to go get help meant it was a good thing. Getting help before he hit an all time low. “Fuck the media, they’re gonna find some way to make you and everyone else they pin into these tiny holes look like asses. But that liver thing can’t happen. Because you owe me a long happy life together. With tons of kids and a whole zoo.  You have to be healthy for that.” She nodded, but the fear was starting to sink in. Basil was popping up, all his promises that he’d get better, go to rehab, come back clean.  That couldn’t be Dustin. He was so much more to her. “You’re absolutely right. You are. Because this-” she gestured between the two of them. “-this is forever. And she’s so young. She won’t remember her father. She’ll remember you. And she deserves to remember you for the amazing person you are. If you’re gonna be here, then you’ve got to be here. So you’ve got to get help. You’re right.I just-what does get help mean right now?”

“Well, next round of late night food I’ll go to like, Whole Foods and get a shit ton of vegan friendly ice cream. Because that’s definitely the healthier option, right?” Dustin asked with a little grin on his face before popping a fry into his mouth. “I mean that definitely sounds like a super great plan to me,” Dustin said and chuckled a little bit afterwards. Dustin smiled as he felt Macy’s lips on his own and after she took her seat and mentioned liking the surprises, Dustin cleared his throat and said, “Well, there’s another surprise to this,” he said and sighed softly. “I uh,” Dustin sat back and tried to think about how to bring this up. It was a lot harder admitting there was a problem and that he had one, he didn’t expect saying ‘I’m an alcoholic’ would be like pulling teeth from his mouth. “So… over this past month I’ve been in real bad shape. Especially with my drinking, I uh… there’s no real easy way to say it except to just say it. But I’m an alcoholic, and, with everything going on with Jagger, and half-siblings, and my fucking dad it’s only gotten a lot worse. And there’s been things in the tabloids and all that, and I just- I gotta get some help, Mace,” Dustin breathed out. “Or it’s just gonna end bad.”

“Feed me vegan ice cream and I’m kicking you out of bed for a month.” She rolled her eyes, unwrapping her food. “Let’s just go with a salad or something every now and then. Or you could start coming to dinners with me and Julia. I make pasta out of vegetables now, because I have to con my child into eating healthy.” Macy laughed at that, taking a bite of a fry. “Doesn’t it? I’m missing out on the key experience of being in debt for the rest of my life, it’s not fair.” She raised her eyebrows when Dustin cleared his throat, turning more to look at him. Just as quickly her eyebrows furrowed as he tried to find what it was he wanted to say.  Tried not to panic, because it wasn’t going to be the million things racing through her head right now, and whatever she came up with was going to be a lot worse than what Dustin said when he did say it.  Only then he did, and she was a little floored. Sure, she knew Dustin liked to drink, and had drank a little too much a few times, ended up on trashy news sites that ended up in her mentions on twitter. But she wouldn’t have ever guessed alcoholic. “Okay.” Was all she managed to get out for a minute, while she actually thought of a response. “This is good then, right? I mean isn’t the first step admitting you have a problem. So now, you get some help. Save your life early. It’s good that you want this, right?”

Dustin parked his car in his usual spot and made his way up the stairs with the bags of food in hand, he was nervous to tell Macy about this and nervous to tell her that he’d be leaving her again. But truthfully, he had no reason to be - he was sure that she’d understand and that she wouldn’t be too mad at him. He could only hope anyway. Seeing Macy at the door with his tee shirt on, Dustin smiled softly. “Don’t you look hot,” he said and then leaned in to peck her cheek. “I brought food, I didn’t know if you’ve had something or not. But I didn’t wanna be rude and just eat in front of you,” he said and as he normally did when he brought food made his way to the dining table and had a seat. Where he began the usual taking out food and laying it out on the table, though he looked back seeing Grey’s Anatomy on the television and grinned some. “You planning on making your next career move as a big doctor?” he asked and looked back to his girlfriend. 

“I always look hot. Even when I was all swollen with a baby in me I was still hot. But thank you.” She teased, wrapping her arms around Dustin for a quick hug, smiling when she saw the In-N-Out bag. “I mean I did but I’ll eat some anyways, can’t say no to In-N-Out. But we really have to expand our late night meals from this, Taco Bell and Chinese. This can’t be healthy babe.” Macy made her way to the living room, grabbing the remote to switch the TV off while she and Dustin ate, then turning when she heard his comment. “You guessed it. Not just because the whole cast is hot, but I decided since I skipped the debt of college the first time around I might as well spend another decade in school with tons of loans to cut gross people open.” She laughed, making her way over to the table and moving her chair just a little closer to his, leaning down and stealing a kiss before taking her seat. “Surprises like this are exactly why I love you, by the way.”

Julia had just gone to bed, and Macy was watching Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix- a guilty pleasure if she had one. Going back to being an assistant producer left her with more time than she knew what to do with- though with how well the album was selling that might be changing and soon.  But for now, if she wasn’t with Dustin, or one of her friends, her nights usually consisted of a glass of wine and Netflix until she was tired enough to force herself into bed.  But besides that things really did seem alright. Her life was finally together and sure it was work but she wouldn’t trade it for the world.  Macy jumped a little when she heard the buzzer ring, pausing for a second before getting it, to see if the noise had woken Julia up. When she was in the clear she made her way to the buzzer and answered, smiling when she heard Dustin’s voice.  The man made everything better. “Hey babe.” She buzzed him in, just quickly letting her hair down, but didn’t bother to change out of the shirt of his she was wearing as a nightgown. She probably had enough to fill a drawer now. Though most of the she looked indecent in, with the sleeves cut out. Macy opened her front door after a few minutes, not waiting for him to knock, happy to be surprised with a visit.

For the past month things had been incredibly crazy for Dustin, with finding out he had a half-brother and half-sister out there, to fighting constantly with his dad, to his best friend losing most of his memory all over again it was all so hectic and chaotic and Dustin didn’t know how to handle it all. With his half-siblings, it just seemed like another thing he had to compete with to prove that he was a good son. Fighting with his dad was a daily thing, his dad constantly calling and begging for money because well, he was going broke thanks to a harsh divorce and that led to Dustin telling him no and his dad told him what a failure he was because of it. Then with Jagger, it was just too much for him to handle. He hated that the man could hardly remember anything and while he knew that the other couldn’t help it, Dustin was just overwhelmed. Which led to huge amounts of drinking, and with that came many of nights lately of the man getting blackout drunk and being in public when it happened, which led to people finding him in the worst states of his drinking self. It was embarrassing, really, and Dustin knew that he had to change before he could really move forward with his life. He needed to stop relying so much on the alcohol to ease whatever pain he was feeling, or to drown out any horrible thoughts he had. He had to step up and be a man and handle the issue at hand. 

And that’s just what he was doing. But he needed to talk to Macy beforehand - and that alone was going to be the hardest thing he’d have to do. Dustin hadn’t told anyone about this problem, refused to let anyone think that anything was ever wrong with him and that was a toxic thing to do but it was just how he coped. Dustin was going to make some big changes in his life and some very necessary changes. He took it upon himself to make this visit a surprise, he’d taken it upon himself to grab some In-N-Out for the two of them, figuring since it was a little late Julia might be sleeping. After grabbing food, Dustin made his way to Macy’s apartment and buzzed the buzzer. “Hey, it’s me,” he called out.

dustinmontgomery:

Dustin had definitely needed this night with his girlfriend, not just because of what she was doing to him, not because it was almost obvious where this was going. But just having the woman there with him, just being in her presence it was enough send Dustin soaring through the roof, he considered himself the luckiest man in the world to have gotten another chance with Macy, a chance that he wanted to make last forever. She was absolutely everything to him, and so was Julia Blake - without the two of them, there was no telling how bad off Dustin would be, or where he’d be. Macy tended to keep him grounded, kept a steady head on his shoulders - mind the drinking - and he didn’t want to be without that. Without the balance they had for one another. Laughing a little as she rolled against him, Dustin said, “You’re just a little limp noodle, you’re gonna go down.” As if he were really going to let himself win this time, Macy deserved the little victory here and there, didn’t she? And they both knew he could take her down in a second, but he didn’t want to. He liked when Macy took control of the situation here and there, and made it a point to show Dustin that she wasn’t going to be playing around with him whilst she was making it obvious she was the one in charge. The light sucking on his neck had Dustin slowly turning into putty in Macy’s hands - he hated how easily he could give into her, but she was just so good at making him do it. When she pulled away and said that she didn’t want to get him in trouble, Dustin sighed softly, and spoke in a tone as if he were truly upset about this decision of her’s, “God, I know. I’m such a buzzkill but I gotta be good, ya know? Don’t wanna get my car taken away ‘cause that means not seeing you. And she already thinks you’re the devil,” Dustin said jokingly. He hardly even spoke to his mother, not enough to even mention that Macy was his girlfriend and well, he wanted to keep it that way. If she could just toss him out, then she didn’t deserve to know the good things happening in his life, did she?

“Did you just call me a limp noodle?” She laughed at that, resting her forehead on his skin to actually laugh at it. “That how you trash talk in the ring?”  Macy had never known somebody that could make her laugh just as easily as Dustin could.In any situation. Sometimes there wasn’t anything really funny going on. Made her feel like she was back in middle school, just being with Dustin could leave her biting back laughter because she couldn’t keep in how happy she was. And in reality it was far from perfect- their schedules left them having to take whatever time they could get, and her anxiety was racking up as fast as she could push it away, but it was perfect. This life wasn’t one she’d trade for anything. And with every passing day she was so glad she’d lived, that she hadn’t missed out on this.  “Your mom can join the club babe.” Half a joke. Was pretty sure a queer single mother was half her congregation’s worst nightmare. And she was fairly obvious about the disdain she held for Dustin’s parents, how they treated him, made her furious in all honesty. How they couldn’t see the man she had underneath him, how great he was, made him feel like he wasn’t, it made her blood boil. Macy smiled, pressing a kiss to his neck, sliding one hand from where she had Dustin’s pinned to run down his side and back up his chest. “Besides, if she takes your car away, I’ll come break you out middle of the night. Can run away and just stay with me, babe” Macy pulled up from his neck to kiss him again.

Fight Night || Macy and Dustin

@heymonroe: But you can push the seat up. Imagine not being able to actually fit in a car because your legs are too long

@itsnotmacy: I mean I really can't, so I think you've made your point babe.

@itsnotmacy: I think it's collective karma for every tall person that uses their short friend's head as an armrest.

elliotbanks:

Five dogs is still five dogs in my books, quite a pack you’ve got but great names! I’m guessing they all play well with others or having five and a young child would be tricky. 

I don’t know, I mean now I’ve had good sex and all, I know I do like it but I just don’t seem to have the desire or drive other people seem too? I dunno. Maybe there’s something wrong with me somehow. 

But yeah, and closet frat boys are too much work and angst for me. I know everyone comes out at their own pace but I need to be out, not hiding because someone else is in the closet still, you know? 

Exactly, I mean if I wanted to focus on the bad I’m an orphan who can barely remember his bio parents or bio siblings BUT I’m also a really lucky guy with the family I do have. If I let myself relive the car crash and what it cost, I’d lost my life in bitterness and shit easy but why do that? I survived for a reason better than that, surely. 

It’s cool, I was only playing anyway. I wasn’t hurt or anything :) Most people assume I’m like 23/24 anyway, not a teen still. 

Alright, that’s fair. Just gotta argue that it’s not five 24/7, so it’s better. But yeah, them and Meg and Sindy we’ve got a little zoo going.  They get along. Bilbo doesn’t like Dustin a whole lot though, my bed isn’t big enough for the two of them.

You could be demi, or gray. None of this shit is black and white babe.  But fuck that something’s wrong with you shit, that’s bullshit and you should know that much.  Nothing’s wrong with you. 

No, I definitely get that. When you’re ready to be out I don’t think you can mess with closeted people anymore, cause the last thing that anyone should do is be shoved back in. Like respect if they’re not ready, but know you deserve better. 

Not to be THAT Christian but I think that means God has a really damn important plan for you, babe. Glad you’re living in the present. 

Can use that to your advantage, flirt just enough with the right bartenders and they’ll probably forget to card you.

Blake: I'm definitely getting this on camera because I need to see the sheer amazement on his face when he sees just how punny this is. Zombie kinda reminded me of ex, like dead, so ya know.

Blake: But explaining it makes it seem less funny o forget I even said that

Blake: I fucking know, okay? I KNOW. I just hoped that she'd at least be a bit more graceful and not have gotten this clumsy gene of mine but that poor girl, it's like she got all of the wild traits of me and all the good genes from our surrogate. She's gonna be a handful

Blake: I'm just glad she finally let them put a cast on her, like, she kicked the fucking doctor because he was touching her arm, not that I can blame her bc I almost did the same when I broke my thumb that one time.

Blake: SH. Don't take his side on this! But yeah, he is pretty cute for wanting it to be PERFECT, but honestly anything he could have done would have made it perfect just 'cause it's Killian y'know?

Blake: I blame Nicholas Sparks tbh. It's kind of disgusting though, because Killian is literally the same way - we could have our own fucking love story I swear

Blake: Ugh, me too. Are you and Dusty boy taking JB together? Or is this a mommy and daughter kinda deal. Also wtf are you dressing up as?

Macy: Just maybe don't explain the punchline while you're down on one knee, it'll still be pretty punny.

Macy: You can't hope for her not to have gotten genes of yours because then it's gonna turn around and be the exact ones she's got. She's /gonna/ be a handful?

Macy: Broken bones fucking suck, at least hopefully she's gonna be too young to remember how much the shit hurts after a while.

Macy: Are there sides? I'm just on side y'all being happy I'm not taking anybodys side. Also, gross.

Macy: I swear to god I could send a summary of the shit you two have gone through to a ghostwriter and have the next summer romcom in a month, honestly. I should, could probably make bank from it.

Macy: All of those are very good questions I should probably have the answers to by now but instead I'm dealing with Julia deciding that she HATES Ariel now.

Blake: then I might recruit you to help me because this has to be PERFECT or he'll never let me live it down

Blake: lol no, Evie wants to be a mummy because in the words of Evie she's already one with her little cast. I still can't believe that little girl broke her arm, but I can. She's so stubborn I can't

Blake: I KNOW RIGHT I KNOW

Blake: It took me 10 minutes to come up with an idea where it had taken Killian like months, who's the real romantic here?

Blake: Honestly, so am I. I'm so pumped up about Halloween, and it's not even because I get to dress up but bc I'll have Evie and Killian there with me like, that's enough for me right there. But also candy bc I'm not a monster

Macy: Okay but I want this on a hidden camera as payment.

Macy: I don't know why you're acting like this is a surprise, she's your child after all. But that Mummy bit is fucking adorable, making the best of her cast at least.

Macy: At least Evie can decide what she's gonna be

Macy: I think that goes to the man who kept putting it off for so long because making your family official again being perfect meant so much to him, tbh babe

Macy: But honestly I think this shit just comes to you like the romantics are in your blood or something

Macy: Family and candy are really the only two important things in the world anyways, so I can't even blame you. Really though babe I'm so glad you've got them back and you're all together and grossly cute again.

Blake: Okay, maybe not lame but IT'D BE EXPECTED YOU KNOW

Blake: Look, I have been watching zombie make up tutorials for like nearly a week now, I think I might have this whole thing down.

Blake: but ofc I'm gonna send you pics first so you can help me look less like a fool

Blake: I also want to do it before Halloween though, 'cause this is the first one Evie is gonna have both of her dads you know? And I want all of the attention to be on her and about us celebrating this sugar fest as a fam

Blake: I could maybe say that I need his opinion on it or something idk.

Blake: ALL I KNOW IS I'LL BE ENGAGED BY LIKE THIS WEEK DAMMIT

Macy: Expected I'll give you.

Macy: Youtube tutorials are fucking liars babe, make ths shit look easy and then somehow you end up looking less like a gory Sally and more like someone splashed the joker's makeup off.

Macy: Not that I speak from experience or anything but I will definitely help before you set everything in motion.

Macy: No I definitely get that babe, plus the poor girl just broke her arm, let the day be about getting all sugared up and the three of you being hella cute.

Macy: Are you also doing Evie up all zombie like? Because then you can probably get him out there on the premise of his opinions before a little photoshoot for IG

Macy: ITS ABOUT TIME

Macy: Though really I'm just excited to see your family be all official again

Well the foster system is a lottery so, yeah, I totally consider myself a winner in that regard.  Five? How do that now pull you over? I’m totally picturing you with five, like, huge huskeys. The kind where you could but on roller skates and have them pull you around!! 

TBH I’m not generally someone who hooks up a lot anyway. I mean, Piper suggested I look into this thing called asexuality and I dunno but maybe it’s me.  Sides, most frat guys are too in the closet to sleep with a guy anyway.  Totally fair. Why not celebrate the good in your life? Better to appreciate it than take it for granted, right?  I feel like I should apologise the my age right now 

Okay, not really five, but five. Three are mine, two are Dustin’s. So when it’s five it’s like a whole family walk, Julia will even take Simba’s leash, so I don’t have like, leashes tied around my waist and all.  And most of them are still small, so it’s manageable. Like Romeo and Bilbo are huge, but Simba is a Yorkie and Roxie and Bronx are puppies still so I don’t gotta break out the roller skates just yet. 

If it is more power to you. There’s tons of shit you could be babe, took me a hell of a time before I actually landed on pansexual. I’d look into everything if I were you. Unless you don’t like labels, but I think it’s just nice to be able to just say ‘I’m pan and proud, fuck off if you’ve got an issue’ That is true. Sorority girls not so much,  can just pass it off as “experimenting”.

Fucking exactly. And it’s not like life is exactly a bed of roses, when it comes down to it I’m still a single mom working full time and I’m gonna savor every last bit of the good times. 

No,I’m sorry babe. I just fucking hate thinking about age generally because I spent a lot of time being someone I regret. I fucking sound like my therapist. But honestly enjoy being a kid while you can, do dumb shit, be just reckless enough, all that.

Blake: OKAY I NEED YOU TO TELL ME IF THIS IS A GREAT IDEA OR NOT OK?

Blake: So Killian can't figure out how the hell to propose to me, so he told me to just do it. So... I AM.

Blake: And my original idea was to just go to this little spot he found for the two of us, you know just to get away from the city and stuff but that's so lame

Blake: SO HALLOWEEN THEME SINCE HALLOWEEN IS SO CLOSE RIGHT

Blake: I'm going as a zombie husband, and I'm going to have Evie bring out the ring and when he's like 'wtf is this' HE'LL TURN AROUND AND I'LL BE THERE ON ONE KNEE JUST WAITING TO ASK

Blake: So, dumb or no?

Macy: Depends on how good the zombie makeup is, if it's a shit job it might ruin the whole thing

Macy: But really that sounds pretty damn great babe

Macy: Also you and I have very different definitions of lame if going to a spot he found just for you two to be you is lame cause that shit sounds romantic as hell

Macy: I feel like this is a very fitting idea for you tbh

Halloween is still awesome, I mean now you get all the candy you want while your kid goes out and does the work, how great is that? I can’t tell you here, I’ll have to text you about it but it has something to do with our failed plan before.

That is true, but the week after is better because all the candy is discounted and I can stock the hell up. But I mean celebration wise. The year i got pregnant was the last time I real did anything for halloween that wasn’t pretend my daughter is a dress up doll.Oh! Definitely agreeing to keep quiet, just send a text my way babe.

@heymonroe: I feel really offended, honestly. Cars should be all height friendly, not just for short people

@itsnotmacy: To be fair, cars aren't short people friendly either, I can barely reach the gas pedal

@itsnotmacy: Just not gonna ever suffer head trauma hopping in one.
