"I haven't watched GMM in a while, maybe I should catch up. I'll start with today's episode"

[randl-on]

"Two random tall bastards" is the funniest way I've heard Rhett and Link described in a while. And it's true.

You’re No Guttenberg Part 5 - 4500 words or so

Read the Prologue here along with story notes. Part 1 is here Part 2 is here Part 3 is here   Part 4 is here

**

Rhett officially has 6 weeks until things go to hell, aka when school starts. He has no job lined up after the summer. He has no apartment lined up after the summer. He has no plans for who’s going to watch Charlie while he and Link are in class. Most nights, he lies awake in bed exhausted but unable to close his eyes, mind endlessly running through scenarios where he ends up living in a van or roaming around the desert trying to form a commune. He’s pretty sure he’s developing a twitch in his right eyelid.

You’re No Guttenberg Part 4 - 4000 words

(aka randl are two dumbasses in college trying to raise a baby together)

**

It’s possible that Rhett has been avoiding dealing with the world outside of their apartment a little bit. It hasn’t been hard to do. Between both jobs and the baby, he mostly only has enough energy to go to work, come home, spend a little time with Charlie, and pass out in his bed.

But on Sundays he gives Link a reprieve from all babysitting duties and usually ventures out to run a few errands. That includes grocery shopping, because he learned a long time ago that sending Link to buy food just ended badly for everyone when Link came home with no bread (“I swear I spent half an hour looking for the aisle!”), rubbery generic cheese (“They wanted $4 for the store brand!”), and jalapeno flavored ketchup (“I might have got a little distracted.”).

He’s standing in the cereal aisle debating if four boxes is too many when someone taps him on the shoulder.

**

The first night they spend a good 6 hours attempting to assemble and cram in all the baby’s things alongside their own in the apartment.

It’s a 3 bedroom: Rhett with his own room, Tim in another, and Greg and Link sharing the third because Greg, who sleeps like the dead, is never bothered by Link’s nighttime mumbling and occasional wandering around, and Rhett had jumped on the opportunity to finally have room for a big enough bed that half his body wouldn’t dangle off the end.

The only problem being now that means trying to squeeze a crib in next to a queen size mattress. They make it work, but just barely. It’s Link’s old one and Rhett makes an impassioned argument that Link should be the one to put it together since he previously slept in it and all, but Link doesn’t take the bait. Instead, he chooses to stand nearby holding the baby and giving Rhett instructions on everything he’s doing wrong.

Link answers on the second ring like he’s been sitting two feet away from the phone waiting for it to light up, and if Rhett had to guess he’d say that’s not far from the truth.

“Hello?”

“It’s me.”

Link lets out a whoosh of air. “Rhett! What’s going on? I got back from the library this afternoon and Greg said you’d gone home. I tried to call, man.”

“Yeah. Listen, Link. A lot’s happened. I don’t really know where to start.”

Link’s answering silence is loud. He and Link have never had trouble talking about anything.

two times rhett told someone they were husbands (cont.) part 1 where rhett gets hit on is here but you don’t need to read it for this one 2000 words or so of rhett being definitely not jealous at all

“Well, I’m here. Are you gonna finally tell me what the plan is?” Rhett asks, trying to sound more irritated than he really is.

Link, not fooled, shoots him a grin from where he’s kneeling in the corner of the living room making one more last minute adjustment to a camera.

It’s only been two weeks since they’ve even been allowed to be in the same room, so Rhett’s still finding it a little hard to stay annoyed at the guy, even if he did hijack Rhett’s trip to the grocery store by calling and insisting that Rhett head straight over to the creative house because he had an idea for a vlog. That was a first. They didn’t really do spontaneous vlogs. Then Link refused to tell him what the vlog was about, because it was a surprise. Rhett felt like he was two steps behind and trying to catch up and Rhett hated being two steps behind in anything.
