Birthday Girl

Summary: The thing you hated most was people forgetting things, especially important things, and your brothers knew that, so they'd thought it'd make a good excuse to throw a surprise party.

Relationship: Platonic

Characters: Luigi & Mario

Warnings: angst??, fluff, surprises, fem reader

You wake up that morning in pure excitement. You could barely sleep the night before.

Your mom would always make you a nice breakfast and greet you with a, "There's my birthday girl!" It was by far your favorite day of the year.

Today seemed to be a bit off, though, that morning when you walked into the kitchen. You got the usual hellos and good mornings, not even your mom said anything special.

You didn't question it, though. You'd hate to be the one that ruins the vibe, but if you were being honest, you felt like you were going to cry.

You excused yourself from the table so you could start getting ready for school, it felt like you were overreacting but the thought of people changing the way things have been for years and forgetting such thinh hurt alot.

"I mean, it's weird, right? You guys don't think I'm overreacting?" You discussed with your friends that morning in your free period.

"I personally think it's sketchy, your family weirdly goes all out for birthdays."

"Yeah, your party last year was insane. Don't regret a thing, though." Your other friend chimed in, taking a swig of he coffee.

"My mom didn't even say anything."

Your friends sent you a blank stare, "You're joking."

You shook your head, "Nope, Mario and Luigi even took off work for these couple of days. They didn't say anything either."

"There's got to be something going on."

That was followed by you shrugging. At this point, you accept anything, even if it was just you going out that afternoon with your friends.

If your family did remember later on, you could pull a petty reality show moment on them or something.

After school ended that day, the three of you went out to go thrifting, then went to the local cupcake bakery. It was probably the only amount of cake you were going to get today.

Your friends sang you happy birthday, and then you all went to Party City to play around in kids' costumes and party supplies.

"You think mom and dad will let you guys stay over?"

"Yeah, I'd just have to call my parents."

"Same."

The three of you begin to make your way towards your apartment building, you had to admit that you were dreading to face your family again after them forgetting your birthday, but you hoped it was just a one time thing.

Your friends had their arms latched around yours with you walking in the middle. You could tell they were trying their best to bring your mood back up.

Truth was that they hated seeing you so bummed out, the day before you couldn't stop talking about how excited you were and wondering what breakfast you would get or cake design.

They wanted you to have the best birthday you could, forgetful family aside.

You all walk up to the door of your apartment, and one of your friends open the door for you guys with their free hand.

"Surprise!"

You let go of your friends' grasp, hands going straight to your mouth. Your mom comes up to you first, wrapping you in a warm hug,

"I thought you all forgot." You mutter out to her. "Oh, Tesoro, we're your family. We'd never do that to you." She planted a kiss on your forehead.

You felt tears threatening to spill out. You turned around to your friends to distract yourself from this, "We're you guys in on this?"

"A little," one of them said in a wincing tone, "We were bribed to distract you." The other laughed out.

Your brothers jumped up from behind you. Once you met them face to face, they were welcomed with a slap, "Jerks!"

"Ow!" Luigi let out, rubbing the spot where you hit, "Would you have rather us really forget?" Mario asked you with a diva like look on his face.

You crossed your arms and rolled your eyes along with it, "No."

"That's what I thought."

"Can we have cake now?" Your friend asked, you glanced over to your mom, "It's fine with me."

Later that night, you and your friends were cooped up in your room, organizing gifts your family had gotten you.

"Y/N?"

You hummed in reply,

"Can I be your sister-in-law?"

"Ew, what?"

"Oh my god, I think Mario is a catch." Your friend chimed in, adding a vintage tone to her voice as she put her hand to her forehead.

"Good because I think Luigi is the sweetest and a total dreamboat." The other said in the same vintage tone.

I LOVE WRITING SIBLING FANFICS ♡♡♡

You stuffed your face in your pillow, "My new birthday wish is for you guys not to marry my brothers."

[s-creations]

The anon that had asked for Waluigi protecting Luigi made me think of another one. 🤒 Waluigi taking care of Luigi (Wether it be mental or physical or if Luigi is just really sick and Mario isn't around), it just felt fitting especially with the scene in your fic with Waluigi giving Luigi food. If you're not busy of course.

I love your fics, they are so well written hope to read more from you soon!

🤒 Needing to be looked after

((Hope this matching the story you were looking for!))

It felt weird. 

Mario not being there. 

The house felt so much smaller with his twin gone. 

Even with Wario and Waluigi visiting everyday. 

It wasn’t the same. 

They were always together. 

Why couldn’t he go with Mario? 

Had he done something wrong?

He probably did. 

Why couldn’t he just-

The barrage of negative thoughts came to a halt when Luigi heard his stomach grumble. Dull blue eyes turned towards the hall clock. 

Oh…guess it was lunch time. 

Where had the morning gone?

He really didn’t want to move. 

He wasn’t that hungry anyway. 

That was a lie, but he didn’t really care.

He thought he was doing better, guess not. 

Why won’t his brain just shut up-

A gentle thump sounded before him. Luigi blinks in confusion as he’s pulled from the fog, realizing he’d been moved to the kitchen table. When had he moved? When had a plate of food been made? Who’s made it? 

“You didn’t eat this morning, did you.”

Luigi turned away from the warm pile of delicious looking food and up to Waluigi. Who was standing over him with arms crossed. He didn’t look angry, just…upset.

“...No… I didn’t.” Luigi answered. He knew it wouldn’t do any good to argue the point.

“Well, eat then.”

“...I’m not hungry.”

“Yes you are, don’t lie.” 

“Fine, I don’t want to eat.” 

Waluigi let out a slow sigh before sitting next to Luigi. “You’ve done nothing wrong.”

“Then why wasn’t I asked to go?”

“Do you really want to go to a diplomatic meeting? Those things are boring. Trust me, you’re not missing much.”

“Mario and I are a team.”

“The four of us are a team, but Wario and I stay behind as well.”

“But-”

“Stop,” Waluigi reached over to gently poke Luigi’s forehead, “Stop, stop, stop. You’re hungry and not thinking straight. Eat something and we’ll talk afterwards. Also, Wario will be stopping by soon. He has a new show that he swears you’re going to like.”

Luigi slowly picked up his food and asked, “...Do you think I will?”

“Who knows. I personally think his taste is terrible.” 

The younger offered a small smile before digging in.

He forgot how good Waluigi’s cooking was.

Do You Love the Color of the Sky

(pls don’t scroll it’s not that post)

Masterpost- Previous- Next

Summary: Not being able to see green must suck, but Patton pitied his soulmate more for being stuck with him.

Content Warning: Swearing, Food

Day 26 Queerplatonic Intruality, background Logince-  You can't see shades of your soulmate's eye color until you meet and look into each other's eyes for the first time.

Do you love the color of the sky?

Patton scrolled through the ridiculously long post and sighed. He liked most of them but the shades of blue always looked so dull. A lot of people reposted this particular picture set because it was the easiest way to tell what color eyes your soulmate has. Which led to a lot of bored scrolling.

If not for the lack of blue in his life, Patton would have assumed he didn't have a soulmate. It just didn't make sense to him as a concept. He loved all his friends and cared about the people he met in his day to day life, he didn’t feel like anything was particularly missing.

Other than the color blue, that is. He stared at his own green eyes and chuckled sadly. His poor soulmate had never seen summer leaves or blades of grass, probably never liked Luigi as a character, hated driving, and wouldn't recognize Patton's pride flags. Patton had learned about the aromantic spectrum and a lot of his feelings had clicked into place. Romance just wasn't his thing and he was happy. He did worry about disappointing his blue-eyed soulmate. How awful to be tied with someone who won't love you romantically.

Patton's best friend since middle school had managed to find his brown-eyed soulmate at a local cafe. Logan didn't say much but Patton could tell he was ecstatic under the calm exterior. And from the sound of it, Roman was quite the romantic which flustered Logan. Patton was happy for them, really.

"You know, Pat, I could try to set you up on a blind date," Patton looked up at Roman with confusion.

"Oh no, they're blind?" Patton couldn't imagine not being able to see at all.

"Why would you suggest that, Roman. His eyes are only green," Logan interjected from the kitchen where he was preparing dinner for his soulmate and friend. Roman had been the one who insisted on inviting Patton and this idea was probably the reason why.

"No, they aren't blind. A blind date is when you go on a date with someone you haven't met before. I could set everything up! I've got the perfect man in mind-" Roman started rambling excitedly.

"Don't tell me it's your brother," Logan scolded.

"It's my brother, but that's not the point!"

"Don't you think you've put Remus through enough humiliation?" Logan turned, shaking a wooden spoon at Roman menacingly.

"I mean, I doubt he's my soulmate and I'll probably disappoint him, but I'll meet your brother if he's okay with it," Patton fiddled with the napkin holder, trying to diffuse the argument by agreeing. What did he have to lose?

"Fantastic! I'll call him right now!" Roman jumped up from the table, phone in hand.

"Roman! Dinner's almost done, just leave it alone!" Logan called with an exasperated sigh, "sorry, Patton. He does this to everyone."

"It's fine, Lo. A low-pressure date might be nice?" Patton shrugged.

Roman had the whole date set up before dinner was even done. He decided the two would meet for a picnic at the local park that weekend. Patton didn’t even have to say a word and it was all planned out. Logan shook his head but gave his soulmate a small smile.

The day of the picnic arrived. Roman had done everything to get this set up for the two, excited at the possible connection for his brother and new friend. Patton just rolled with it, bringing a small cake he'd made to share.

He found the picnic and spotted Roman talking with a man who looked oddly similar and dissimilar to him at the same time. Patton figured they must be brothers and hesitated several yards away.

The man couldn't look any more different from Patton if he tried. His hair was dyed and Patton thought he spotted the glint of a piercing on his lip just under a trim mustache.  For some reason, he'd decided on a black and green mini skirt and fishnet stockings with a ripped My Chemical Romance shirt. It certainly contrasted with Patton's sky grey polo, grey cardigan, and khaki slacks.

Patton took a few deep breaths to try and remember that this wasn't likely to work and was mostly to humor Roman. He'd be nice to Remus. Maybe meet him again at a Christmas party where they both laugh at Roman's poor matchmaking. End of story.

Roman spotted him and waved Patton over, more excited than a puppy brought home from a shelter.

"Patton! Let me introduce you to Remus," Roman grabbed his wrist to yank him the rest of the way over, "I think you guys are really going to hit it off!"

Remus stared at the ground, looking embarrassed. Patton felt really bad as Roman must put him through this all the time. He offered a hand and a warm smile which he took but Remus wouldn't meet his eyes. He was fine with that.

"Alright, I'll leave you two alone to start building chemistry. Good luck!" with that Roman turned and left and Remus let out an exasperated sigh before sitting down on the blanket.

"You don't have to stay. I know he probably paid you or something," Remus muttered at Patton.

"No, I agreed to try, no bribes. I'm sorry if I'm embarrassing you," Patton smiled sadly, kneeling down on the other side of the blanket.

"It's not you, Patton. It's him. He's obsessed with finding my soulmate ever since I told him…" Remus got very quiet, picking at one of the threads of his sock.

Patton urged him to continue, "you told him what?"

"That I'm ace. No one is ever gonna be happy with me so why try?" Remus picked up a rock and threw it hard, "he doesn't believe me and thinks I'm just giving up. I wish he'd just fucking listen to me!"

"Oh, is that all? Gosh, I'm sorry, Remus. I totally get it though! Have you asked him to stop putting you in uncomfortable situations?" Patton was so relieved he forgot that Remus wouldn't know why.

"Don't you think I've tried?? And yet here you are, probably telling yourself you can change me because all anyone would need to do is get in my pants- skirt- whatever and I'll change my tune! Right?" Remus glared at Patton who looked away quickly.

"N-no… I mean I actually get it. I'm aro and I hear a lot of similar stuff from people who don't get it," Patton explained himself softly.

Remus hit his forehead and flopped down onto his back, staring up at the sky, "oh! Oh, of course... I'm sorry for assuming, Patton."

"It's okay. Let's just enjoy this lunch and what I assume is a beautiful day," Patton laid down and stared at the sky, "is it cloudy today or is the sky actually blue?"

"Oh, it's a brilliant blue today, Pattycake. Have you never seen the blue sky?" Remus asked in amazement.

Patton chuckled, "nope, never seen it. My 'soulmate'-" he used finger quotes "-has blue eyes."

"Oh, well it's about the color of your shirt today," Remus grinned, "so I guess you know the difference between leaves and clouds, huh?"

"Green is a beautiful color," Patton smiled, "I hope someday you get to see it with someone who appreciates you for who you are, Remus."

"Thanks, Patton."

They both laid there in silence for a few minutes before Remus broke it, "so what do you think of horror movies?"

"Too scary to watch alone, but I'll watch with a friend," Patton smiled, "opinion on Bob Ross?"

"A treasure, but I wish he drew fewer happy trees and more sad ones," Remus grinned. They continued bouncing questions off of each other, a few starting heated debates as they ate the picnic and just talked.

It was wonderfully non-romantic. Patton felt understood for the first time in a long while.

Remus became more and more animated as their conversation drifted from movies and games to tattoos (Patton showed him a Spongebob tattoo on his ankle much to Remus' surprise) and careers. Patton was shocked to discover that Remus worked in daycare most days, something he would have never guessed from his attire.

"You like working with kids?" Patton asked cheerfully.

"I get to give them back to their parents at the end of the day and sleep like a rock," Remus laughed and took a bite of cake, "let me guess, you're a baker?"

"Not quite, I help run my parents' Mom and Pop diner and they stick me on dessert duty way too often," Patton happily patted his stomach, "I bet chasing all those kids burns about as many calories as I can bake in a day."

Remus snorted, "maybe I should stop by and find out some time."

"Yeah! I make the best cheesecake- if I'm being humble," Patton laughed.

"I love cheesecake! Can we go now?" Remus sat bolt upright with a large grin on his face.

"Don't we have to clean all this up or wait for Roman?" Patton asked, happy but a little nervous to make Logan’s soulmate upset with him.

"Oh come on!"

"I can always just make you one," Patton replied carefully.

"That would imply seeing you again," Remus smirked at him.

"You seemed to like the idea," Patton smiled hopefully, picking at the grass.

"I love that idea. You're so easy to hang out with, Pat. You really do get it, and I'm sure we could have lots of fun together," Patton looked up, tears in his eyes. He took off his glasses and wiped them with the sleeve of his cardigan before meeting Remus' gaze with a smile.

Something in the back of his head clicked. He watched as Remus blinked in confusion and started looking around wildly. Patton felt just as confused until he noticed the sky.

He fell back down on the blanket and stared up at the brilliant depths of blue in the cloudless sky. He could almost feel how far it stretched into the void of space and was utterly in awe, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes and down his ears. It was magnificent.

Patton lay there crying until his view was blocked by two navy blue eyes, sparkling with joy and streaming tears as well. Patton smiled and opened his arms for a hug which Remus gladly fell into.

Roman came back and found them in each other’s arms, laying on the blanket and talking about everything they couldn't tell anyone else before. Patton made sure later to tell him off for how he'd treated Remus but also thanked him for setting up the date.

They weren't dating. It was something different, but they were happy. And Patton really did love the color of the sky.

Tuesday, 4:37 pm

Matteo: *arrives at the lake on his bike together with David* *in the basket in the back he has a blanket and two jackets, in case it gets cooler later* *hears Abdi shouting when he sees him: "Luigi, we agreed on 4 o’clock! What is wrong with you?"* *laughs slightly and shrugs as he gets off his bike* *sees that everyone is actually already here* Had things to do... *shrugs one shoulder* *sees how Abdi grins and shakes his head and hears Carlos says: "And these things don’t have a name beginning with D?"* *laughs and shakes his head vehemently as he drops his bike on the grass* Never! *Abdi points to Hanna and Jonas, who are lying one blanket away and kiss: "They got back together yesterday and were on time!"* *rolls his eyes* You know it doesn't have the slightest effect on me if you call me out for it every time, right? I'm not going to be on time. *grabs the blanket that fell out of the bike’s basket and spreads it out next to the others' blankets*

David: *comes with Matteo to the lake and it is a little bit uncomfortable that they are late again - but together with Matteo he just forgot the time and could not get up earlier either* *but then realizes that Matteo knows how to deal with the complaints of Carlos and Abdi and grins slightly* *also gets off his bike and greets everyone as he puts his bike next to Matteo's* *then hears Abdi talking to him as Matteo spreads the blanket: "Hey, David, Brudi, can't you have some good influence there?"* *shrugs and grins slightly* I can try, but I can't promise anything... maybe his influence is rubbing off on me too... *plops down on the blanket* *then sees Kiki and Sam coming towards him from the lake and hears Kiki: "Oh, look - the gentlemen Florenzi and Schreibner have finally joined us..."* *hears her getting interrupted by Sam: "Wow, guys, the water is already totally warm! We're definitely gonna have to inaugurate lake season!"* *raises his hand to greet Kiki and Sam and looks up at Matteo, who's still standing* *smiles and pats his hand on the place next to him*

Matteo: *shakes his head laughing at Abdi's words to David* I'm difficult to train... *then grins broadly at David's answer* Exactly! *shakes his head again when Kiki joins in* Maybe you can write us a plan, Mrs. Machwitz. *then plops himself next to David on the blanket and leans his head immediately against his shoulder* *shakes his head at Sam's words* I'm doing just fine right here. *sees Sam shaking his head: "Whoa, Matteo, swimming is not exhausting. The water does the work for you."*

David: *immediately puts his arm around Matteo's shoulder as he leans his head against him and smiles slightly* *nods when Matteo says he's lying here quite comfortably and mumbles* I agree... *then sees Amira planting herself on the blanket next to them and saying to Sam, "Yo, chill out - you got the whole night to go into the lake," and then looking at him and Matteo: "Hey!"* *grins and greets her* *sees her grinning as well and hears her sighing: "Guys, we've finished school! How cool is that!? I still can't really believe it!"* *laughs softly and says* I haven't really realized it yet... probably will take me a few more days to realize! No more school! *stretches out his legs and faces the sun* *sees Amira smiling: "Exactly! Now go enjoy the summer before the serious stuff starts."* *hears her laughing and joins in* *sees how the others now also sit down on the blankets and Hanna and Jonas stop making out and turn towards them* *sees Jonas grinning at Matteo and him: "Oh, you’re here, too?!"* *grins again* Yeah, for quite a while! Congratulations on the reunion, by the way.* *sees Jonas and Hanna smiling and hears Hanna murmuring a quiet "thank you"*

Matteo: *grins at Amira and nods* Yeah... thanks again... without you I would have never made it in bio! *sees how she smiles and dismisses him* *laughs and shakes his head* No, the seriousness can stay where it is. *laughs at Jonas’ greeting* *was about to say exactly the same thing as David* Yeah, congratulations, it was about time! *sees them both grinning and then looking at each other happily* *is really happy for them* *is happy that he really is only happy and no longer has this subliminal jealousy* *looks up at David and thinks that he's hit the jackpot anyway* *then sees Amira getting angsty and says "I want to move... anybody wants to play badminton?"*

David: *notices that Matteo looks up to him and gives him a quick but tender kiss on the forehead and briefly runs a hand through his hair* *then hears Amira and looks at her expectantly: "Did you bring any rackets?!"* *sees her grinning and nodding and takes his arm off Matteo's shoulder* I'd like to... *looks briefly at Matteo, because on the one hand he would also have liked to continue sitting with him, but on the other hand he really has an urge to move* *sees Amira getting up and hears her say, "Yeah, perfect, I'll get the rackets!"* *leans over to Matteo again and kisses him on the mouth* See you later. *grins and then gets up* *jogs after Amira and takes one of the rackets* *hears Carlos shouting "Hey, I wouldn't do that, Amira. If David is as good at badminton as he is at ping-pong, you don't stand a chance against him!"* *looks at Carlos, grins and shrugs* Maybe you are just that bad... have you ever played ping-pong against Amira? Maybe she'd win there too ... *hears Amira laughing: "Yeah, right! "For sure."* *also laughs softly and moves away from Amira* *waits for her serve and sees out of the corner of his eyes that some of his friends have turned to watch their game*

Matteo: *shakes his head when David asks Amira if she brought rackets* *already suspects what is about to happen, namely that he will lose his extremely comfortable pillow* *pulls a face when David looks at him* *but then gets kissed and is reconciled a little bit and lets him go* *rolls over on his stomach so he can watch them* *laughs out loud at David's answer to Carlos* That's how it is! *sees relatively quickly that David is very superior to Amira* *also sees that he makes it as easy as possible for her but also that in the beginning she still hardly gets a ball* *hears Carlos laughing and yelling, "Come on, Amira, make an effort and take him down!"* *just laughs and shakes his head* I'm sorry, Amira, but you really don't have what it takes... *sees Amira glaring at him and shrugs his shoulders laughingly* You can't be the best at everything...

David: *notices quite fast that Amira can't play very well and therefore tries to play easy balls, because he thinks it's cool that she still wants to play* *hears the remarks of the others and is a bit afraid that Amira will lose interest if they continue like this* *is then relieved when Amira while picking up the ball again just responds: "Hey, David had advanced PE. You'd probably all lose against him too!"* *smiles at her and waits for her serve* *shrugs and says* It's not always about winning or losing... *sees her nodding and then serving him a pretty bad serve* *has to struggle to get it, but is happy that Amira gets his ball as well and they actually manage to play the ball back and forth a few times*

Matteo: *applauds as they play the ball a few times back and forth* *then sees Carlos rolling up beside him, also on his stomach, and offering him a pack of cookies* *immediately takes one* Thanks! *hears him say: "You’re welcome. So tell me, how turned on are you by watching him do sports? It looks pretty hot, huh? *rolls his eyes* Dude, it's getting a little creepy how much this interests you... Do you have something to tell me? *Carlos looks at him all surprised and says, "What?"* *laughs slightly* Well, that you’re into David, for example? *hears everyone cheering and looks quickly to see that Amira has played a good ball* *applauds again*

David: *doesn't notice much of what the others are doing but concentrates on their game and is happy that Amira seems to be getting the hang of it* *then actually doesn’t get a pass from her and has to laugh when he hears all the applause* *grins to Amira* You’re getting there... *sees her tilting her head back and forth and then hears her laughing: "You know I can tell you're not trying very hard, right?"* *looks at her indignantly, but then laughs* But even if I put more effort into it I'd still have a lot of trouble getting the last ball... *looks briefly at the blankets and sees that Carlos has laid down next to Matteo* *smiles at Matteo as their eyes meet* *then bends down to pick up the ball and looks at Amira to see if she is ready before he passes the ball to her* *at some point hears Kiki, who has approached them, saying: "Don't you have two more rackets, so that we can play a double? I feel like moving a bit…”*

Matteo: *hears Carlos laughing as he asks, "So what, you got nothing to worry about, Brudi."* *nudges him lightly in the side* I know... *then looks back at David and Amira* *sees how David looks over and smiles back automatically* *hears Carlos laughing again: "Absolutely nothing to worry about. What does he see in you again?"* *this time he elbows him in the side a little harder* Shut up. *then hears Kiki's suggestion and grins at Carlos* I bet you're about to be asked to join, get ready... *sees Amira running to her bag and grabbing two more rackets, and Kiki turning towards the blanket, "Well, who else is up for it?"* *skillfully looks somewhere else*

David: *looks excitedly to the others at Kiki's question and grins slightly as Matteo looks somewhere else* *then Kiki hears again: "Oh come on guys! Carlos!"* *has to grin when he sees Carlos pulling a face and shaking his head* *then watches Jonas getting up and hears him say: "I'll join in - I don't want our Carlito here to overexert himself!"* *sees how Kiki looks at Jonas gratefully and at Carlos punishing, and he hears Carlos shouting: "Hey babe, I'll play a solo with you later! I promise!"* *slightly grins again and sees Jonas accepting the racket and asking: "Boys against girls or mixed doubles?"* *shrugs and suggests* Mixed doubles? *has no idea how good Kiki and Jonas are and how it would be the most fairly distributed* *sees Kiki joining him on his side and calling to Jonas and Amira: "We can always switch later..."* *then waits for Amira to serve*

Matteo: *observes the team distribution and is very glad that he was spared of joining* *takes another cookie and grins at Carlos* Now we can cheer for the same team! *then sees Kiki playing back Amira's serve and Jonas playing a hard ball which David catches but Jonas then can't reach* *hears Carlos yelling "Well done babe" and smiles* Yeah, doing great, babe! *sees David's horrified look and just laughs*

David: *thinks Kiki's first hit is not so bad and is happy that they switched to doubles* *then grins when Jonas can't get his ball back, and at Carlos’ yelling* *but then hears Matteo yelling as well and can't help but look at him in horror for a moment* *but then he has to laugh and exchanges a glance with Kiki, who also grins slightly* *shakes his head and says slightly embarrassed* Usually we are not the type for pet names... *Kiki hears laughing: "Yeah, no, of course!"* *then hears Jonas: "Hey, guys, stop chatting and concentrate on the game! It continues!"* *actually concentrates again and plays for quite a while* *even if Kiki and he are a little bit superior to Jonas and Amira, the game is a little more balanced in doubles than in singles* *hears Amira saying at some point: "Well... enough sports for today! I am exhausted! Does anyone else want to?!"* *stops with the racket in her hand and looks around* *hears Kiki saying: "They are all too lazy... and I think I feel more like a swim now!" and Jonas: "Cool, swimming! I'm joining! - Hey Hanna? Let’s go swimming?"* *realises that badminton is over, and gives the racket back to Amira* *goes back to the blankets and in the meantime sees that most of the friends are actually getting ready to go swimming* *drops down between Carlos and Matteo and grins slightly when he hears both of them groaning slightly* *hears Carlos: "Well, I think I won't be able to avoid swimming, since I already chickened out of badminton. What about you guys?"* *shakes his head and says* Not now. I need a break.

Matteo: *sees how the badminton group is dissolving and is already looking forward to getting David back* *hears that the next plan is swimming and immediately thinks that he and David are probably not joining* *hopes David won't mind too much* *groans as David lets himself fall between them* *also shakes his head* No, no, I'll stay here. *sees Carlos grinning and nodding: "Of course... you just want some privacy!"* *shrugs one shoulder* Maybe... *then sees everyone running towards the lake* *hears Jonas shouting at them: "You watch over our stuff, right?"* *just shows him a thumbs up and sees him joining the others* *turns on his side and looks at David* *tries to see if he's okay* *then asks quietly* All good?

David: *hears that Matteo doesn't want to go swimming either and is happy to spend some time alone with him, but doesn't want him to give up swimming because of him* *also turns to the side as everyone disappears towards the lake and is now a few centimetres away from Matteo, facing him* *smiles slightly when being asked if everything is alright and nods* All good! *then examines him and says quietly* You really don't have to give up swimming because of me... Surely you want to go in the water too...

Matteo: *shakes his head and frowns* Uh-uh! *puts his arm around David’s waist* I'm lazy... I'd rather lay here with you... *looks at him and smiles* It’s pretty relaxed, isn't it? I mean, without Carlos' stupid comments...

David: *has to smile slightly at Matteo's Uh-uh and automatically moves a little closer to him as he puts his arm around his hip* *grins at Matteo’s mention that he's lazy and nods knowingly* *then laughs softly* Yeah... pretty relaxed... *smiles and raises his hand to stroke his cheek* *just looks at him and realizes that he still has heart palpitations when they look at each other like that* *bends over a little at some point and kisses him briefly* *then mumbles* But you're not giving up swimming this whole summer because of me, are you?

Matteo: *smiles into the kiss* *wants to kiss him again immediately* *but lets it be when he hears him* *shakes its head* No, but I am really lazy... and going in the water with Abdi and Carlos is really exhausting... *grins slightly and brushes a strand of hair from his forehead* Besides, I always prefer to be where you are... *smilingly shrugs one shoulder and gives him a kiss*

David: *grins slightly when he says that it is exhausting to be in the water with Carlos and Abdi and nods with raised eyebrows* *then stops grinning and smiles as he strokes a strand of hair from his forehead and smiles even more at his next words* *mumbles another* Ditto... *before he is kissed* *kisses him a little longer this time and meanwhile wraps his arm around him and pulls him closer* *nudges his nose against Matteo's as they release the kiss and looks at him with a smile* *hears the others raving and shouting in the water and says softly to Matteo* A little bit of peace and being alone with you is actually not that bad... *then sighs briefly and shifts a little bit away from him again to be able to look at him better* *seems thoughtful for a moment as he realizes that this could actually be the first summer in years where he might miss swimming if they meet more often at the lake now* *consoles himself with the thought that his mastectomy will be done by the next summer and hopefully he will be able to go into the water without any problems or dysphoria*

Matteo: *smiles slightly at David's "Ditto"* *then enjoys the kiss and is only too happy to be drawn closer* *grumbles slightly as David releases the kiss* *but nods with a smile at his words* I think so, too... *then looks a little worried as he sighs* *tilts his head slightly when David becomes thoughtful* *waits if he says something and nudges him slightly when he doesn't* Hey... what's going on? Is it because of the swimming? *thinks for a moment how he can help him* *what he could say or suggest* We could go swimming sometime... maybe in the evening... when nobody is around anymore?

David: *is torn out of his thoughts when Matteo nudges him* *feels a little bit caught, but then smiles a bit, because Matteo knows what it is all about* *shrugs slightly at his question and considers how he can best explain to Matteo what is going on inside him* *then smiles again at his proposal and thinks about it* *sighs a second time and then says* I never really missed swimming... because the possibility did not offer itself to me... so when people I knew went to the lake, I never even went, because it wasn't so important to me... *chews briefly on his lower lip and continues* ... but now... just now for the first time since I was little I really felt like going into the water again... it was a strange feeling... *shakes his head and says* Next year it will be easier... when I have the mastectomy behind me... and until then... *is struggling with himself but then says* Yeah, maybe we can actually go sometime in the evening... *knows that this will be hard for him to overcome, but just the idea of being in the water with Matteo, touching him in the water, splashing around and swimming with him is probably worth every effort* *then looks at him again and says seriously* And I really don't want you to give anything up because of me, okay? So if you want to go swimming with your friends, then please do so! Next year I'll be joining during the daytime too...

Matteo: *listens to him very carefully* *was just about to say that they don't have to go to the lake, but lets him finish first* *nods slightly when he says that it will be easier next year* *sighs slightly and then searches for words* *looks at him lovingly and then starts talking* You know, it's no big sacrifice on my part, okay? And you don't have to feel guilty or anything... I really do what I want to do... and that's to be where you are. It's easy. *gently runs his hand, which is resting on David's back with his arm over his hip, up and down* And if you want to go swimming, we can do that... in the evening, with a t-shirt... or we can find something to bind, which you can also wear in the water.... *keeps caressing his back and looks at him lovingly* But if it's all too much or you feel uncomfortable, we'll continue with footbaths and do it all next year, ok?

David: *looks at him a bit skeptical at first when Matteo says that this is not a big sacrifice for him, but then sees his loving look and hears his words and knows in that moment that he means it exactly that way* *feels a little lump in his throat and is slightly overwhelmed at first when Matteo says that he wants to be where he is* *is quite touched and asks himself what he did to deserve Matteo* *thinks that he has never known anyone who has shown so much consideration for him without having the feeling of putting themselves behind* *swallows the lump, smiles and nods* *says quietly and with a slightly husky voice* Okay... *puts his hand back to Matteo's cheek and looks at him lovingly* Thank you... for being the way you are... *listens to him further and laughs softly when he mentions the footbaths* At 33 degrees footbaths don't really do anything... you know that... *then sighs again and decides* No, let's do that... going swimming in the evening... the two of us... alone. *grins slightly and brushes the hair out of his forehead*

Matteo: *notices that David has to swallow* *smiles slightly at his okay* *shakes his head slightly and then tilts it* I practiced for a long time... *then grins slightly* Well, they have helped a little bit.... *then nods* Okay, let's do it. *then leans slightly against his hand and bends over to give him a short kiss* *then says very quietly with a mischievous smile* You're sure going to look hot in the water....

David: *has to think about their first footbath briefly and that the 33 degrees have at least ensured that he can now show himself to Matteo on hot nights and during sex without the binder which is already a relief* *would probably wear a shirt while swimming in the lake, because you never know who is there at night* *smiles when Matteo gives him a kiss and grumbles in protest when he breaks it* *then turns a little red at his words and laughs embarrassed* Well, I don't know... *looks at him and gently strokes his hand over the shirt on his chest* *mumbles* You, on the other hand... *smiles slightly and shrugs* *says a little uncertainty* We could take a shower together... just for practice... in case we should have the flat to ourselves sometime in this life... *laughs quietly, because the probability is quite low - at least in the flatshare*

Matteo: *laughs slightly when David says that he would look rather hot* *is not very good with compliments yet and laughs it off a little* Sure, I always look hot... *then wiggles his eyebrows a little bit when David suggests showering* I'd love to... *then laughs* So never.... *bends down again to kiss him* *deepens the kiss relatively quickly and draws him closer*

David: *smiles slightly when Matteo laughs about the compliment and nods in agreement* Sure... *actually finds him hot, but mostly just beautiful* *laughs with Matto when he says that the showering will never happen and shrugs* *then wiggles his eyebrows slightly and tilts his head* Or... when Laura is at work... *grins again and is then kissed* *sighs softly into the kiss and lets himself be pulled closer* *then gently pushes Matteo on his back so that he can lie more comfortably as he deepens the kiss and bends over him* *runs his hand through his hair and continues kissing him* *enjoys the closeness and has heart palpitations at the thought of how much Matteo means to him and how lucky he is to have him at his side* *then suddenly he hears Jonas' voice: "Well - enough togetherness for you! The pack returns to the shore!"* *grumbles quietly and slowly releases the kiss* *then gets splashed with water and hears Sam laughing: "A little refreshment for you?!* *turns his head with a grin and sees that she has shaken her hair out over them* *puts his head on Matteo's shoulder and makes himself comfortable* *now also sees Kiki and hears her say: "The water is wonderful! Next time you have to come in with us!"* *only nods slightly and doesn't say anything - he doesn't have to either, because now all the others join in and talk at once* *puts his arm around Matteo - is not yet ready to really let go of him*

Matteo: *wraps one arm around David's neck and puts the other hand on his cheek after he laid down on him* *moves his hips a little, just to have a little more contact with him* *grumbles immediately when he hears a voice that does not fit into this picture* *looks accusingly at both Sam and Jonas* *wraps his arm around David when he lies on his shoulder* *just nods when Kiki says they should come next time* *wonders why neither of them is smart enough to think that this is not possible for David yet* *then sees Hanna appearing in his field of vision and how she puts her arms around Jonas' stomach from behind* *hears her whisper and sees both of them move back to their blanket* *then sees Carlos and Abdi showing up and hears Abdi say: "Hey you two slackers, we want to play Flunkyball, are you in?*

David: *looks up at Abdi and Carlos as they appear in front of them and frowns at their question* *has heard of Flunkyball before and knows that it has something to do with beer, but has never played it himself* *shrugs his shoulders slightly and looks back and forth between the two boys and Matteo* If someone explains the rules to me... I've never played this before! *hears Carlos laugh, "Dude, how have you never played this before?!"* *and Abdi: "Oh man, then it's about time! Let's go."* *grumbles slightly because he has to get away from Matteo, but straightens up while Carlos says: "I'll get beer and a ball" and Abdi explains: "It's very easy - it's almost self-explanatory!* *laughs a bit insecurely, because he still doesn't know how the game actually works and says* O-kay...

Matteo: *gets up together with David* *explains the game briefly to David and ends with* ....it is actually just drinking lots of beer very fast.... *then looks at him slightly worried* Do you really want to play? *hears Abdi laughing: "Why shouldn't he? It's about drinking beer, who doesn't like that?"* *ignores Abdi and continues to look at David* You really don't have to....

David: *nods gratefully as Matteo explains the rules to him and then takes a look at the clock to see that it is now just before seven* *then sees Matteo's worried look, smiles slightly and shrugs his shoulders* *ignores Abdi as well and gives Matteo a short kiss, because he thinks it's sweet that he is worried* *then says to Abdi and Matteo* I'll play along for a beer or two... it's still early... I don't want to be drunk at eight already... *hears Abdi laughing: "Well, you are hardly drunk from one or two beers at eight..."* *looks at Matteo again and says quieter* It's all right, don't worry! *knows his limits and does not intend to get drunk so early* *then stands up and extends his hand to Matteo to help him up* *then hears Carlos calling: "Ey, Brudis! Everything is set up! Are you coming!?"*

Matteo: *nods slowly as David says he will join in* *says softly* Okay... but if it gets too much, you'll let me know, right? *then gets up when Carlos calls and goes over there with David* *sees Carlos laughing and pointing at David: "You're on my team... no couples teams at Flunkyball!* *laughs slightly and shakes his head* *goes with Abdi to one side and grabs the ball* *sees how the rest of the group turns to watch them* Okay, here we go, ready? *sees everyone nodding and throws the ball* *hits bottles and grabs his beer at the same time as Abdi to drink while the others are setting the bottles back up* *hears Carlos shout "Done!" and puts down his only half full beer* *gets ready to run when he sees that David will throw next* *starts running just as the ball just leaves his hands* *sets up the bottles again together with Abdi as fast as they can and hears Abdi yelling "Done!”* *hears Carlos asking David as he goes back, "That's all you drank? Didn't anyone ever teach you to drink properly?"* *gets slightly angry and turns around when they get back on their side* *waits for David's answer before he decides if he's going to throw anything at Carlos' head*

David: *grins slightly when Carlos says that there are no couples teams and joins him* *then helps Carlos setting up the bottles and wonders how this can work quickly when you are drunk, but then thinks that this is probably the challenge of the game* *then throws the ball himself and hits several bottles* *grabs his beer, drinks and puts it down again when Abdi calls "Done"* *looks at his and Carlos' beer at Carlos' words to him and realizes that Carlos actually drank almost twice as much as him.* *grins slightly insecure and shrugs his shoulders* Hey... first game! I'm still practicing... *then hears Carlos again: "Hey, we have to play this more often... then the booze will run by itself at some point..."* *grins again and then watches how Abdi throws the ball* *gets immediately ready to run and sets up the bottles again with Carlos* *is a little bit faster this time setting the bottles back up and then shouts loudly: "Done!"*

Matteo: *raises his eyebrows, when David says he is still practicing* *is about to say something, when Abdi throws the ball* *curses quietly and then grabs his bottle* *the bottle is almost empty when David calls done* *burps quite loudly and hears the rest of the group applauding* *hears Jonas laugh: "Luigi is always the first to burp!"* *laughs* Because I can! *then hears Carlos: "Okay, concentration now, we have to try really hard, David, or Luigi will be done soon!"*

David: *grins, when Matteo burps so loudly and the rest of the group applauds* *then looks at Carlos at his words to him, grins slightly and says sarcastically* How nice that you don't put me under any pressure... *but gets ready to reach for the bottle when Carlos starts to throw* *but then sees that Carlos doesn't hit the bottles in the middle at all and hears him howling loudly* *has no idea what happens now and looks around questioningly* Um... and what happens now? *hears Abdi and Matteo cheering and Abdi laughing: "Now it's our turn and I guess we'll win the first round!"* *looks at Carlos and shrugs his shoulders* *is a little bit glad that he is not to fault that they will probably lose this round* *hears Carlos murmuring "Sorry, man..."

Matteo: *was about to shout "leave him alone" when Carlos already throws and misses* *laughs very loud* Oh, oh, now I am under pressure.... *runs to get the ball and runs back to Abdi* *hears Jonas cheering him on and grins* *throws the ball, hits and 5 seconds later yells at the same time as Abdi: "Done!* *hears Carlos saying: "Sorry, man... honestly... but we will get them in the second round, okay?"* *but then sees Jonas and Hanna getting up and Jonas announces: "We want to join in!"* *hears Carlos immediately shouting: "Jonas joins us!"* *sees how Hanna gives him the middle finger as she goes over to them* Ha, Carlos has obviously never seen you drink before... let's go!

David: *runs off with Carlos to put the bottles back up, but does not succeed before Abdi and Matteo call "done"* *shakes his head when Carlos apologizes and says slightly grinning* Well, let's see... and how does it work now? Do we keep our beer or does everyone get a new one? *hears Carlos explain: "Nah, we keep ours... in the end we count up who has the most empty bottles..."* *nods as a sign that he has understood and thinks that this is not so bad* *then grins to Jonas, who has joined them and brought a full bottle of beer* *takes the ball and looks questioningly at Jonas and Carlos* Ready? *sees both of them nodding and throws the ball at the bottles* *hits several again and reaches for his beer* *this time drinks already bigger sips than in the first round, while he sees out of the corner of his eye how Abdi, Hanna and Matteo put the bottles back up* *hears the three of them and Carlos shouting "Done!" at the same time and grins as Carlos triumphantly holds up his empty bottle and gets a new beer from the crate*

Matteo: *just laughs, when Carlos looks so happy* Wow, congratulations! *sees how Carlos shakes his head* *grabs the ball and hands it to Hanna* Finish them off! *sees Hanna grinning and gets ready to drink* *Hanna throws the ball and knocks over some bottles* *drinks, but this time not as long, because Jonas is there and quickly shouts "done!"* *then hears Jonas saying: "Let's bet on something... the team that wins in the end... um... " then hears Carlos finishing: "... is not allowed to talk to the other team for the rest of the day, unless they are addressed...". *Hanna, Jonas, Matteo and David all shake their heads at the same time and the rest laughs*

David: *runs, when Hanna throws the ball and helps to set up the bottles* *has to laugh quietly when he sees how routinely Jonas proceeds and tries hard not to get in his way* *hears Carlos suggestion and shakes his head immediately* *grins when he sees that Jonas, Hanna and Matteo also shake their heads* *hears Hanna's suggestion: "The team that loses, owes the other team a back massage!* *laughs and nods* I could get behind that... *then hears Abdi saying: "Dude no, I am not giving Calos a massage!"* *and Carlos: "How nice of you to assume that you will lose!"* *then hears Jonas: "I like back massages!"* *sees Jonas grabbing the ball and when everyone is ready, throwing it* *grabs his beer as the bottles fall and realizes that there is not so much left in it* *drinks in big sips and finally calls out grinning* Done! *sees Carlos grinning as well and hears him say: "Nice, Brudi!"* *returns his high five and takes a new beer out of the crate* *already feels the alcohol a little bit, but thinks that one more is still okay*

Matteo: *kicks Abdi when he says that he doesn't wants to massage Carlos* We will win! *sees how Abdi shakes his head: "I don't want Carlos giving me a massage either, Diggi!"* *shrugs his shoulders and grins slightly* Who would you prefer? *sees how Abdi grins and hears him say "David"* *knows that he only said this to annoy him and wants to reply just when Jonas is ready* *runs to the bottles, but can't finish setting them up because David is done* *grabs the ball and waits for David to get a new beer from the crate* *when he sees how slowly David walks back, he calls over* We want to continue today, Mr. Schreibner!

David: *gives Matteo the middle finger and grins as he rushes him* *goes back to his position extra slowly and sees that Abdi has the ball now* *plays a few more rounds with the five, but notices that he is already a little tipsy from the second beer* *is in the mood to get a little drunk today, but doesn't want to be really drunk at eight o'clock either, but rather wants to stretch it out a little over the evening* *now empties his second beer (has only two gulps left anyway) after Jonas has thrown the ball and calls out* Done! *grins as Carlos cheers, but then says* I'm out for now... *hears Carlos: "Hey, you can't do that now! I feel like you're just getting warmed up..."* *just shakes his head and laughs* As I said: I don't want to be drunk at eight already... I am just not used to anything! *sees how Carlos looks at him seriously: "We definitely have to change that!* *then hears Jonas shouting in the direction of the others: "Will one of you fill in for David?"*

Matteo: *sees and hears that David quits and smiles at him briefly* *is tempted to quit as well when Sam stands up: "I'm in!"* *waits until Sam has gotten herself a beer and is in position* *sees from the corner of his eye how Kiki got up to sit next to David and pities him for a moment* *but then it is his turn to throw and concentrates back on the game* *does not hear Kiki asking David: "And? Everything good? Drunk already?"*

David: *high-fives with Sam as she takes his place and sits back down on their blanket - facing the game, so he can watch* *thinks briefly whether he should take out his sketchbook and draw a little, because the others seem to be absorbed in the conversation when Kiki suddenly sits down next to him* *laughs softly at her question* A little buzzed... but yes, everything is fine! And you? *sees her waving a bottle of champagne in her hand: "Ditto buzzed, but yes, I'm fine! And what do you think about our lake spot? Or had Matteo shown it to you before?"* *shakes his head and says* No, this is my first time here. It is really nice here - not so overcrowded! *hears Kiki laughing: "Wait until summer break! You can hardly walk here anymore and in the water it is also super full! How is that actually for you? Must be really uncomfortable to go into the water, or is that no problem for you?!" *looks at Kiki slightly shocked when she gets so personal and stammers* Um... *then thankfully hears Kiki realize her mistake: "Oh, sorry, was that too personal? Must be the champagne..."* *hears her giggle and nods* *then grins slightly and says* Yep - too personal... *then wants to distract from the topic and asks* And what have you planned? After the summer? To study?

Kiki: *nods at his question* Yes, study.... preferably psychology, but I still have to compare the different universities, you know? Range of courses, quality of life, professors, stuff like that. *then looks over at him* And you? Are you staying in Berlin? *then hears rejoicing and sees how Matteo is happy because he has emptied his bottle* Or do you make that dependent on Matteo? I find it difficult, don't you? On the one hand, I want to be where Carlos is, of course, but on the other hand I don't want to be one of those people who bases their whole future on their boyfriend. What do you think about that? How do you do that? *looks at him questioningly, without the slightest sense that she might be talking too much* *takes another sip of her champagne*

David: *nods at her plan and just mumbles* Cool... *draws up his legs as he hears her next question and looks briefly over at the flunky ball players before turning to Kiki again* *just wanted to answer, when she already continues* *has to suppress a grin and waits when she is finished, to see if she is really finished or if something else is coming* *then answers hesitantly* I don't think it's a bad thing if you think about your partner to a certain extent... I mean, with psychology that's possible, isn't it? You can study it almost anywhere... *looks over to Matteo and automatically has to smile* *then turns to Kiki again and says with a shrug* Matteo doesn't know exactly what he wants to do... If I get a place to study somewhere farther away, he wants to come along... but if he finds something here that he enjoys, then I'll make sure that I accept a place to study nearby - preferably in Berlin of course...

Kiki: *looks at him and tilts her head slightly* That's cute. You guys. Together. *looks at Matteo and then back at David* You know, it's really nice to see him like this. He was always kind of grumpy, quiet, stoned before. And now, thanks to you, he's much more open and all. *doesn't even realize how insulting she actually is and just continues* I was a bit surprised when he suddenly got together with Sara. I mean, she is somehow... different. And he never seemed particularly enthusiastic either. Well... *laughs slightly* ...now we know why. I am really happy for you, that you made it and I am fully supporting you!

David: *laughs softly when Kiki calls him and Matteo cute* *has heard this several times already and feels honored that people see them that way, but in the end it's all about how Matteo and he see and feel as a couple* *also looks at Matteo, who is slightly staggering as he rushes forward to put the bottles back up and smiles slightly* *asks himself briefly what Matteo is like when he is really drunk and somehow he gets the desire for another beer* *but then listens to Kiki again and automatically nods when she says that it's nice to see him like this* *then frowns at her next words, shakes his head and looks at her again* *interrupts her* I don't think it's just because of me that he's like that. Everybody sometimes has a bad phase... maybe he wasn't well because of other things... or you just always experienced his grumpy days... *thinks that Kiki probably doesn't know Matteo too well and that it's none of her business, so he doesn't add anything to it* *then hears about the thing with Sara and that Kiki assumes that she knows why Matteo never seemed very enthusiastic and is annoyed because he has the feeling that Kiki doesn't know anything about Matteo, but thinks she knows him* *doesn't really know what to say about it, because he doesn't wants to argue with Kiki at their first real conversation and mumbles* This is nice... *when she says that she is supporting them* *the whole thing doesn’t leaves his mind and says at some point* Maybe you just don't know Matteo that well... *does not look at her, but back at Matteo*

Kiki: *frowns slightly when David says that she only noticed the grumpy days* *has seen Matteo almost every day at school* *smiles when he says it is nice and takes another sip from the bottle of champagne* *is then quite surprised when he says something afterwards and looks at him shocked* *but since he does not look at her, she has to speak up* What do you mean? Of course I know him... we have been going to the same school for 6 years. So sure, you know him differently, but sorry, not that long either, right? *raises her eyebrows slightly* *doesn't like to be told that she is sees something wrong*

David: *looks at Kiki again when she contradicts him and sighs softly because she does not understand what he means* *nods to her words* Yeah, I don't know him that long... I didn't say I knew him better than you did. Different, yes! *frowns briefly and searches for words before hesitantly saying* The only thing I wanted to say is that maybe there are reasons for everything... reasons that he was or is quiet and stoned, reasons why you felt he is not very enthusiastic about his relationship with Sara - and I don't mean the fact that he might be gay, but rather the question why he was with Sara anyway... and I probably haven’t erased these reasons or causes just with my mere existence... maybe there is more to it than you might think at first sight... or do you know the reasons for all the things you just criticized about him? *says it all quite calmly and not in an aggressive way, but very clearly*

Kiki: *looks at him quite surprised* *does not quite understand what he wants to tell her* *because no matter the reason Matteo was better since he met David* *tilts her head slightly when he asks her a question* Okay, maybe I don't know the causes. But I still don't understand why my statement was wrong because of that. Or don't you /want/ to be the reason that he is better? *frowns*

Matteo: *has emptied his fourth bottle of beer and already feels the alcohol pretty well* *uses the break and looks over to the blanket* *sees that Kiki and David are still talking* *also sees that David is talking quite determinedly* *decides to save him* Guys, I'm out! *throws the ball to Hanna and walks slowly over to the blanket* *sees that David noticed him coming and grins slightly* *then stops in front of the blanket and looks at Kiki, who is sitting very close to David* Scoot over.

David: *can almost see Kiki thinking and somehow has little hope that she can follow what he said* *shakes his head at her question* I don't want to be the reason that he gets better - if I don't know if this really eliminates the causes. I want to be the reason that he is doing well now, yes... *sees her confused look, sighs once and thinks about how he can explain it to her better* *but then sees that Matteo is coming towards them and is quite happy to see him and to be saved* *smiles at him broadly and moves a little to the side so that he has space to sit* *sees that Kiki is doing the same thing, although she was apparently still not really satisfied with his answer and would probably have asked again if Matteo hadn't shown up* *but prefers to talk to Matteo and asks with a grin* So, did you win? Or just had enough alcohol?

Matteo: *notices very well that their conversation ended abruptly when he came* *but that's what he wanted to happen* *drops on the blanket, when both of them make some space* Enough alcohol... but I think we were in the lead... *shrugs and then puts his head against David's shoulder* *then sees Kiki smiling slightly and getting up* I'm going back to Amira. *nods with a grin* Do that... *waits until she is out of earshot and then moves his head away from his shoulder to look at David* Was it very bad?

David: *grins at Matteo's statement and says* You think!? *laughs softly and immediately puts his arm around him as he leans his head against his shoulder* *briefly hides his face in Matteo's hair and enjoys having him close again* *just nods as Kiki gets up and is somehow relieved that she is gone* *doesn't really like talking about personal matters with people he hardly knows, but found her opinion too wrong for him to hold back* *grumbles a lot when Matteo pulls his head away again and looks at him angrily in a playful way* It was very bad that you removed your head! *but then grins and grabs his hand instead* *shrugs his shoulders to Kiki and says* It took me a bit of a run-up to get in, but I think I did quite well...

Matteo: *laughs slightly at his answer and reaches for his other hand too* *then nods slightly when he answers* You shouldn't take Kiki so seriously... she always takes herself too seriously. *tilts his head slightly and looks at him* You can tell her if she says something that is out of place. *grimaces and asks* Did she ask stupid questions?

David: *smiles happily as Matteo grabs his other hand as well and intertwines their fingers together and adjusts his position so that they don't have to twist as much* *shrugs his shoulders on the subject and continues to listen to him* *then nods and says* I did... well, not so directly, but I told her that she should maybe just rethink some statements. And... *ponders briefly before continuing* ... of course, when it comes to unimportant things, then it is perhaps really better not to take her too seriously, but when it comes to important things, it makes more sense to do it and perhaps to make her rethink... *laughs and shakes his head* Although I don't know if that just really helped... *slightly tilts his head and thinks about Kiki's questions* Um... no. *shakes his head and grins a little* Her statements were rather stupid!

Matteo: *listens to him* *but already notices that the alcohol makes everything a little slower for him* *laughs loudly when he says that her statements were stupid* That sounds like Kiki.... and I am very proud of you for telling her your opinion... most people don't dare to do that in the first round.... *bends over and gives him a clumsy kiss* *then it comes back to him that he said that her statements were stupid* Did she offend you? Should I go and hit her? Or would you prefer Carlos? I think I could take him. *grins slightly*

David: *grins when Matteo says he is proud of him and shrugs his shoulders* *thinks that there was simply no other way and that his opinion automatically came out of him because he didn't want her to have a stupid opinion of Matteo* *returns his kiss and tastes the beer and wants another one too* *looks for the crate when he hears Matteo's questions* *shakes his head immediately when he asks if Kiki has insulted him and laughs at his following questions* No violence, Mr. Florenzi! *then shakes his head again* No, she didn't offend /me/... everything's fine! *then releases their hands and says* I'm going to get another beer? You want one? Or do you want to take a break? *gets up*

Matteo: *only laughs when he says no violence and shrugs his shoulders* *but then slightly raises his eyebrows* Oh, yeah? So me, or what? *is now a little bit interested in what Kiki had to say* *is a bit perplexed when David suddenly gets up* Um... yeah, sure, why not? *then sees him run off to the crate, shrugs his shoulders and leans on his elbows so that he is at least halfway lying down, but can still watch*

David: *slightly shakes his head when Matteo asks* *does not really want to repeat what Kiki said and is therefore very happy that he can go to get beer now* *goes to the crate and takes out two beers* *already opens them at the crate, because there is an opener lying around and goes back to the blanket with them* *sits next to Matteo cross-legged, smiles and hands him a beer* *then looks briefly at the flunky ball people and grins slightly before asking* How long does the game actually last? Until someone falls over or until they run out of beer?

Matteo: *sits up again when David comes back* *takes the beer and clinks it against David's bottle before he takes a sip* *then laughs at his question* Both, I think.... *then looks over and sees that everyone is still able to play* I'd say they're going to do three more rounds... though Carlos might only do one more... *then looks at David and smiles* *thinks how nice it is that he is here - that he was accepted by his friends as he is, that they not only accepted David immediately and without hesitation, but also supported him* *thinks that he is quite the lucky guy* *somehow feels incredibly good and carefree, probably also thanks to the alcohol* *just leans over and gives David a gentle kiss* *whispers a quiet "thanks" before leaning back*

David: *also takes a sip after toasting with Matteo* *laughs at Matteo's prediction and sees Carlos actually tumble at that moment* *laughs again and then watches the next round of flunkyball with a grin* *drinks a sip of beer every now and then and feels quite comfortable... with the great weather, the Abi in his pocket, out in the fresh air, surrounded by Matteo's friends and of course Matteo* *is quite lost in thought when Matteo suddenly leans over to him and kisses him* *smiles slightly into the kiss and then hears his "thanks"* *looks at him in wonder, but smiles and picks a little embarrassed at the label of his beer bottle* *asks quietly* What did I do? *thinks about it, but can't really think of a reason why Matteo should thank him - except maybe for the beer, but then the thanks would come a little late*

Matteo: *just smiles and shrugs with one shoulder* Just... for being there... *is a little embarrassed and quickly takes another sip and presses his lips slightly together* For me not being alone... and for putting up with Kiki's stupid statements and for being so great that all my friends think you're absolutely awesome and that.... *grins slightly* That you're so good-looking that I can look at you all the time... *laughs slightly and looks away* Okay, maybe I drank too much beer.

David: *smiles at Matteo's words and turns slightly red* *does not find it particularly difficult to be there* *then hears that there is more to come and feels that his heart beats a little faster with all the beautiful words* *is quite touched, but also embarrassed and asks himself briefly what he has done to deserve all this, how he deserves Matteo and this feeling of happiness, which until recently he did not even know he could feel at all* *just looks at Matteo until he looks away and says that he has drunk too much beer* *grins slightly at this statement, but then quickly gets serious again* *puts his hand to Matteo's cheek and gently turns his head so that he looks at him again* *searches for words as he drowns in Matteo's eyes* *shakes his head at some point, smiling, and says quietly* You can't say all these great things and then blame it on the beer... *feels just so much love for Matteo and is looking for words that come close to his* *but still needs a bit more time*

Matteo: *relaxes immediately when he feels David's hand and looks at him* *smiles slightly* Sorry... *wraps one arm around David's neck and pulls him a little closer* *grins slightly* How was it again with making out in front of our friends, yes or no?

David: *hears Matteo's "sorry" and smiles slightly* *lets himself be pulled closer and also moves a little closer to him* *then grins at his question and tilts his head slightly* *pretends to think* Hmmm... generally rather yes... if you don't blame it on too much beer afterwards... *looks at him expectantly* *then grins slightly again and casesses Matteo a little in the neck* *says slightly provocative, but smiling* Maybe you also would have said those great things without too much beer? Can I delete the "too much beer" sentence from my mind? *leans his forehead against Matteo's and knows that he will kiss him anyway, no matter what answer he gets*

Matteo: *grins at his answer* *shakes its head immediately* I won't.... *lets out a pleased sound when David caresses his neck* *nods again* Of course... I was just... embarrassed... *smiles slightly when he feels David's forehead and closes his eyes* *speaks softly* I always have a lot of great thoughts in my head.... how well you can kiss for example... *then close the last centimeters between their lips and kisses him*

David: *nods satisfied at Matteo's answer and then smiles slightly when he says he was just embarrassed* *whispers* You don't need to... *also closes his eyes when he feels that Matteo is relaxing and slowly comes closer and closer* *rubs his nose against his when he hears his next words and mumbles shortly before their kiss* We should share our great thoughts much more often.... I also have a few... *but then feels Matteo's lips on his and sighs softly into the kiss* *caresses his neck and his hair and makes sure that Matteo can't move a centimeter back *then wraps his other arm around him and wants to pull him closer, but realizes that this is not really possible while sitting* *places his hand on Matteo's cheek instead and gently brushes over it as he deepens the kiss*

Matteo: *can mumble "do it" before he kisses him* *forgets a bit where they are and who is there* *buries his hand in David's hair as he deepens the kiss* *actually manages to make out with him for a while until he gets a package of cookies thrown at his head and Carlos yells "Get a room!"* *immediately hears Jonas saying "Let them have some fun"* *grumbles slightly and mumbles to David* We could ignore this....

David: *enjoys the proximity to Matteo and somehow perceives the others as just a background noise, which at some point he can block out completely* *then grumbles in protest, as Matteo slightly pulls away from the kiss, sees a package of cookies out of the corner of his eyes that was probably thrown at Matteo, hears Carlos and Jonas and finally Matteo and then grins slightly* *gives Matteo a short kiss on the mouth and mumbles softly* How long do you think we can keep this up? Ignoring that... *kiss him again briefly* *hears Abdi: " Yeah, great, now my cookies are lying there with them and if I want them back, I have to interrupt the kissing..."*

Matteo: *grins* Let's find out... *gives him another kiss* *hears Abdi and grins again* *whispers* Now it gets interesting.... *hears someone who he can't identify right now say: "Let them be, so newly in love"* *laughs slightly and gives David another kiss* *but then looks where the package of cookies is, takes it and throws it towards Abdi* *sees him grinning: "Thanks, Brudi!"*

David: *has to grin as well, when Matteo thinks they should find out and kisses him again* *but has to admit that the mood is somehow gone with all the murmuring around them and sighs softly as Matteo pulls away a little after the next kiss to give Abdi his cookies* *leans back a bit and looks around the group with slightly reddened cheeks * *notices that Carlos actually seems to be quite drunk and tries to discuss something with Kiki, that Abdi happily eats his cookies and tries to offer some to Sam, that Hanna is halfway in Jonas' lap and smiling at him, that Mia and Alex are talking in the distance and Amira lets her eyes wander over the group as well* *smiles briefly as their eyes meet and then looks quite happily at Matteo again* *shrugs his shoulders and says* We have at least tried... the ignoring... *grins minimally and then turns away from Matteo, only to make himself comfortable with his head on his lap immediately afterwards* *reaches for his beer and takes a rather big sip, because he is quite thirsty*

Matteo: *grabs his beer again and takes a sip* *smiles as David lies down with his head on his lap* *immediately starts to play with his hair with his free hand* *just looks calmly around the area* *then sees Hanna and Jonas get up and Hanna sitting down with Amira and Jonas coming over to them* *hears Jonas saying: "Na, sweethearts, everything good with you?"* *grins when he sits down on the blanket next to them, and nods* Yes, everything is quite good and with you?

David: *smiles when Matteo starts to play with his hair and slightly leans into his hand* *lies otherwise quite relaxed* *briefly thinks about sitting up when Jonas joins them, but then remains lying down and just moves his legs a little to the side so that Jonas can sit more comfortably* *nods approvingly at Matteo's words and takes another sip* *hears Jonas: "Flunkyball was one round too many... I'm still recovering a bit.* *grins and says* It was perhaps also still a little bit early to chug so many beers in one go... *hears Jonas laughing desperately: " And you tell me that now! Why didn't you say that at the beginning of the game!"* *grins again and shrugs his shoulders* Sorry... next time then... *takes another sip*

Matteo: *laughs during the conversation* Flunkyball is almost always deadly... Beer is not made to chug it down that quickly... you need a strong stomach... *takes another sip of beer and shrugs* But it's also fun... and you have quite the tolerance, dude... *Jonas hears laughing: "Well, that's right... and Hanna's place is not so far from here either..."* *grins then* Ah yes... right... tell me... how did you actually convince her? Because of the super planned-out date?

David: *grins when Jonas says that Hanna's place is not that far away and is glad that he is not too drunk, because they have to cycle home* *looks up at Matteo and at first can’t see anything because due to the movement, Matteo has pushed some of the hair he had been playing with over his eyes* *but realizes it quickly and tenderly brushes them off his face* *smiles when he finally sees him and doesn't think that Matteo is so drunk that he couldn't make it on his bike* *then looks back at Jonas and drinks a little more beer while he reports: "Oh, it wasn't that well planned. Hanna just made it pretty easy for me. We went for a meal and then just went for a walk... where we used to go to in the past... at some point I dared to take her hand and somehow it was clear”* *sees him shrugging his shoulders and looking over to Hanna with love and has to smile* *then says again quietly* It's nice if it was that simple... *reaches with his free hand into his hair and grabs Matteo's hand* *intertwines their fingers and places them on his chest*

Matteo: *smilingly pushes David's hair out of his face again as he suddenly moves* *then listens to Jonas* That sounds good... I'm really happy for you, man. *really hopes that the two of them will make it now* *smiles down to David as he takes his hand* *briefly misses to play with his hair but then simply paints some figures with his thumb on the back of David's hand* *sees Jonas smiling at him and nods back* *is also pleased that they are both so happy* *hears Jonas say: "Now it's really going to start, Luigi, no more school... but we'll cancel the Cuba thing, right?" *laughs slightly and nods* Yeah... we'll think of something else...

David: *closes his eyes briefly and relaxed, when the two of them remain silent for a while and has to smile, when Jonas says that it's really starting now* *this does not only refer to "no more school", but also to Matteo and himself, that now, when the biggest problems are solved, they finally have some time for themselves* *has already enjoyed the last few days and is looking forward to the rest of the summer and what lies ahead* *then hears something about Cuba and asks with closed eyes* Cuba? *hears Jonas explain: "Yes, Luigi and I actually wanted to go to Cuba after graduating..."* *hears him laughing and continuing to speak: "But on the one hand neither of us are apparently the greatest planners... and on the other hand...“* *opens his eyes as Jonas remains silent for a moment and sees that he looks over to Hanna again with love, before he continues speaking: "On the other hand, things sometimes turn out differently than you think.* *nods slowly and thinks to himself that Jonas surely doesn't want to part from Hanna again for the time being to go on vacation with Matteo and is actually quite happy that the two of them want to cancel it, because he would also think it's pretty stupid to have to part from Matteo again now - even if only for a short time.* *nevertheless asks interested* And why Cuba?

Matteo: *grins slightly when Jonas says that things sometimes turn out differently* Yep... Girls with red hair.... *hears as Jonas adds: "Boys with beanies...." *grins and nods* Exactly... *then laughs slightly at David's question* I don't know, actually... that was somehow always the plan... I think since Jonas' Che Guevara phase in the 8th grade...

David: *smiles when Jonas and Matteo mention Hanna and him and lightly squeezes Matteo's hand* *then mumbles grinning and embarrassed* Well, then Hanna and I must feel honored that you are throwing your plans overboard because of us... *hears Jonas laughing: "Exactly! And it also has nothing to do with our laziness to organize things....".* *shakes his head again with a grin* Of course not... *drinks another sip of beer and then listens to Matteo's explanation about Cuba* *laughs softly and looks at Jonas* Che Guevara? That suits you... *then looks up to Matteo, wiggles his eyebrows slightly and asks* And what phase did you have in eighth grade?

Matteo: *presses his lips together at David's question, because in the 8th grade he has just started to have a crush on Jonas* *but thinks that he also just wanted to get away* *shrugs with one shoulder* The well-known phase... just get away.... *swallows slightly and drinks another sip of beer* ... pretty much anywhere, but Cuba sounded pretty cool... *feels Jonas nudge him slightly: "We'll manage some kind of vacation this summer!”* *laughs and nods* Of course!

David: *nods when Matteo says he just wanted to get away, smiles and briefly squeezes his hand* *then turns his head away from him again to prevent a stiff neck* *laughs softly during the exchange between Jonas and Matteo* Oh yes... and who organizes it? Since you both are so good at organizing? *at that moment hears Carlos and Abdi loudly slurring something and grins* Ah yeeees... Carlos and Abdi of course... *laughs again quietly and then moves back into a sitting position so that he can keep an eye on Jonas and Matteo and not have to turn his head back and forth all the time* *pulls his legs close and wraps his arms around them and has to let go off Matteo's hand* *but nudges him slightly with his foot as compensation*

Matteo: *squeezes his hand back* *puts his beer away so that he has one hand free to play with David's hair again* *then grins at him very widely when he asks who is organizing the trip* *hears Jonas saying: "Well, Brudi number 5 of course!"* *laughs slightly* *complains with a quiet "ey" when he sits up and he can't play with his hair anymore* *slightly tilts his head when he nudges his foot and nudges back* *grabs his beer again and holds it out for a toast towards David with raised eyebrows* *then hears Jonas laughing* What? *sees Jonas shaking his head: " You guys are already really good at this.... this couple communication without talking..."*

David: *laughs and looks at Jonas with mock horror at his words* Moi?!? *shakes his head and laughs again* Nah, sorry! Not this year yet... I am too new in your Brudi group and don't know you enough. Otherwise I organize something and there are a lot of complaints and you kick me out again... *sees Jonas grinning at first, but then shaking his head a little more seriously: "You won't get rid of us so easily now!"* *looks apologetically to Matteo at his "ey", but smiles when he nudges him back with his foot* *clinks  his beer against his and sticks out his tongue with a slight grin on his face* *looks at Jonas as he laughs, hears his explanation and grins in Matteo's direction* *shrugs, smiles, stretches his legs out again and points invitingly with his head to his lap* *is a little curious if Matteo gets that he can lie down now if he wants to and if Jonas is right that they have the couple communication down after not even four weeks* *On the other hand wouldn't mind if it weren't like that, because he really enjoys that Matteo and he take so much time to talk*

Matteo: *grins when David says he will be kicked out again* *just wanted to say something against it, when Jonas already does and just nods* *also grins at Jonas comment and looks at David* *sees how he stretches his legs out and already puts his beer down before David nods his head* *lies down and puts his head on David's lap* *closes his eyes and relaxes* *then says very relaxed* You can talk... I'm out...

David: *laughs softly when Matteo reacts immediately and hears Jonas laughing too: "Dude.... you’re the worst!”* *immediately shakes his head in protest and glares at Jonas angrily* We are not! *immediately buries his hands in Matteo's hair, when he lies down and strokes it off his forehead before he begins to tenderly run his hands through it* *grins when Matteo says he is out and looks at Jonas expectantly * We can talk... let's go... *sees Jonas grinning: "Yes, well... David, tell me: What's sex like with Matteo?* *laughs softly and shakes his head* No comment! *takes another sip of beer*

Matteo: *relaxes immediately and even more when David plays with his hair* *therefore only casts a skeptical glance at Jonas' question* *hears Jonas laughing and says: "no comment is never a good sign. I am really sorry, Luigi!"* *mumbles something incomprehensible and shrugs his shoulder* You should ask yourself why you are so interested in this, my friend...

David: *shakes his head in protest at Jonas' suspicion and shrugs his shoulders with a grin.* No comment means no comment! Maybe I just don't want to make you jealous... *turns slightly red, but continues to grin and now moves his hand over the hairline behind Matteo's ear and onto his neck* *then laughs softly at Matteo's comment and says to Matteo* Maybe he needs some tips from us... *Jonas hears laughter: "Dude, that's enough! I'm leaving..."* *sees how he actually gets up and is about to say that he should stay after all, when he sees that Hanna is now back on Jonas' and her blanket and looks over at them* *grins again slightly* Oh, and of course your departure has nothing to do with the fact that your girlfriend has finished her conversation and is waiting for you?!

Matteo: *laughs slightly at David's answer and nods* That's right... *then nods very slowly and solemnly* Oh yes... of course that could be it.... *laughs louder when Jonas gets up and leaves* *makes a loud "Ha" sound when David sees through Jonas and only laughs when Jonas laughingly leaves them* *then looks up to David and grins* If Carlos and Abdi ever ask you if you are a cathetus or a hypotenuse, run

David: *looks at Jonas with a grin and then looks down at Matteo, who is also looking at him right now* *raises both eyebrows questioningly at his words* Do I want to know what this is all about or should I just take your advice and run?! *laughs softly and brushes Matteo's hair halfway behind his ears* *then sighs softly, because he realizes again what a nice evening it was/is having graduated, being with Matteo and his friends and being here at the lake - and smiles at Matteo* *has to think again about Jonas' couple communication thing and wonders if Matteo can read in his eyes how happy he is right now* *then feels a bit cheesy and turns his eyes away from Matteo and drinks another sip of beer*

Matteo: *shakes his head with a grin and then nods to the second part of his question* I could explain it to you... but believe me, running away is the better option..... *smiles back at David when he smiles* *turns his head slightly and kisses his stomach* *then has to giggle because it's kind of silly* *looks up again and sees that David is drinking* *closes his eyes again and simply enjoys*

David: *feels Matteo kissing his stomach while he is drinking and smiles into the bottleneck* *then looks at Matteo after he has finished drinking and sees that he is relaxed and lying in his lap with his eyes closed* *smiles and starts brushing through his hair again* *looks at him for quite a while and then lets his eyes wander over the others and over the lake, only to always return to Matteo again* *sees Mia and Alex standing next to them and hears Mia quietly pointing at Matteo and asking: "Is he asleep?"* *shrugs his shoulders and smiles before he answers quietly* I don't think so... *then hears Mia again: "We wanted to leave now - Alex is here with the car. Do you want a ride?"* *is about to say no, because they are here with the bikes and Matteo didn't seem so drunk that he couldn't ride his bike anymore when he hears Kiki calling from a few meters away: "Hey, Mia, can you give us a ride after all? I don't know how else to get Carlos home - he is so drunk!"* *grins slightly and looks at Mia, who is looking between them and Kiki and Carlos a bit helpless* We are here by bike anyway. You can take these two with you... *sees Mia looking at them for a moment, as if she wanted to check if Carlos or Matteo were more drunk, but finally nods and turns away with a "Drive safely!"*

Matteo: *hears Mia, but thinks that David will take care of it* *has absolutely no desire to open his eyes* *hears what it is all about and thinks that they can still ride their bikes* *decides to only say something if David sees it differently* *smiles slightly, when this is not the case* *waits until he hears Alex, Mia, Carlos and Kiki leaving* *then slowly opens his eyes and looks up to David* We'll stay a little longer, right? *smiles slightly* I am not drunk enough yet.

David: *watches the four of them leave the lake and disappear into the darkness and then looks down to Matteo again* *notices that he has opened his eyes and smiles* *nods at his question* I don't mind... *is not really tired yet* *then grins at his next statement and lightly pokes him in the cheek* Does this mean that we can only go home when we are drunk enough? *laughs softly* Then maybe I shouldn't have left the ride so carelessly to others after all...

Matteo: *grins when he is being poked* *then shakes his head* Only me... you don't have to get drunk... *laughs and shakes his head* I can ride a bike perfectly, no matter how drunk... *straightens up a bit and looks where Jonas is* *then calls* Ey Jonas, how well can I ride my bike drunk? *hears Jonas laughing and shouting: "Not worse than sober! Shall we have a drink, Luigi?"* *calls back* Or two... come over! *then sees Jonas grab a bottle and come to their blanket together with Hanna* *gets up and slides next to David to make room for the two*

David: *tilts his head slightly and looks at Matteo grinningly and slightly provocative* But maybe I want to get drunk... you only graduate once after all... *then laughs softly when Jonas confirms that Matteo can ride his bike drunk* *sighs softly as Matteo straightens up and he has to take his hand out of his hair, but also moves a little to the side to make room for Jonas and Hanna* *sees how Hanna and Jonas sit down and looks a little skeptical at the bottle in Jonas' hands* What is it? *sees Jonas grinning and holding the bottle out to him: "No cheap booze... just taste it!"* *accepts the bottle and takes a sip* *grimaces slightly because he first has to get used to drinking something other than beer again, but then he drinks another sip and finds that it doesn't taste toooo bad* *passes the bottle to Matteo and then sees Jonas' expectant look: "And?!"* *grins and shrugs his shoulders* It takes some getting used to, I'd say... *feels how he now gets very warm in his stomach and hears Jonas again: "But not bad, right?"* *laughs softly and says* Not /yet/...

Matteo: *slightly tilts his head and looks at David* Alright... I won't say anything.... *watches David taking a sip* *looks at Jonas scrutinizingly* What is it? *but only sees Jonas grinning* *then takes the bottle from David and takes a sip* Whoa, dude, did you mix that yourself? *shakes his head slightly but takes another sip before he passes the bottle on to Hanna* *sees how Hanna takes a big sip and gives the bottle back to Jonas* *Jonas drinks and then says: "And now a drinking game... everyone takes a sip for their Abi grade, for example 3 sips for 1.2, but 6 for 3.3..."* *laughs* Do you want to get me drunk? *Jonas grins: "Maybe" and hands the bottle back to David*

David: *looks at Jonas expectantly as he wants to play a drinking game* *then laughs at Matteo's comment and is given the bottle* *grins and looks questioningly into the round* So all sips at once?! *hears Jonas and Hanna laughing: "Yeah, sure - where else would the fun be?!* *laughs softly and says* And then you guess, or what? And then I'm too drunk afterwards to count and guess with you... *laughs again and lifts the bottle* Okay, well... *drinks the first two sips and finds out that it still goes quite well, the third one is a bit harder for him, because he feels exactly how the alcohol runs down his throat* *still manages all five sips, passes the bottle to Matteo and shakes himself* *notices now how the warm tingling also reaches his legs and thinks that he should probably stop now* *hears Jonas guessing, "1.4?"* *raises his eyebrows and shakes his head* You seriously think I am that good!? *realizes that he is slurring a bit*

Matteo: *watches David drink with some concern* *but promised not to say anything and therefore keeps his mouth shut* *then takes the bottle, but lets the others guess* *hears Hanna laughing: "Well, then 2.3"* *sees how David nods* *then takes two large sips and three small* *Jonas hears: " Also 5? Also 2.3?"* *shakes his head* Nah, was too lazy.... *hands the bottle to Hanna and leans his head against David's shoulder, while Hanna guesses: "Well then 3.2...". *sees how Hanna starts drinking and stops counting after 4* *says a little sluggish* Shit, I wasn't paying attention....

David: *does not count when Matteo, because he knows what he has anyway and lets the others guess* *but then tries to concentrate on Hanna and is almost thrown off when Matteo butts in between* *puts his hand on his knee and squeezes it lightly to make him shut upand finally says* Eight? *sees Hanna nodding and just starts to guess* Okay... so 1.7, 2.6 or 3.5... *Jonas hears laughing: "There speaks the advanced math..."* *ignores him and thinks* *has not the slightest idea how good Hanna is in school and therefore simply guesses* 2,6? *sees Hanna nodding and then hears that she also slurs her words when she says: "That was mean... but better than 2.8 or something...

Matteo: *looks at Hanna with admiration* You have got 2.6? That's great... congratulations.... *looks like he has to think hard to decide if congratulations were the right thing to say, but then decides that they were and nods* *then sees Jonas drinking twice and booes* No wonder you came up with this game... 2.0, really? *hears Jonas laughing: "We can play another drinking game.... one where you can get me drunk"* Yeeees... which one? *has absolutely no idea*

David: *gapes at him when Jonas drinks only twice* Wow! Congratulations! *sees Jonas bowing clumsily and laughs - doesn't know why - probably because of the alcohol* *then hears the idea of doing another drinking game and groans* *slurs slightly* Oh no, I'm taking a break... I'm really not used to anything... *closes his eyes for a moment and realizes that everything is spinning slightly* *quickly opens them again* *then hears Hanna giggling: "I'm up for “Never have I ever..." I know a few things how we can get Jonas to drink... I've never stolen a bike!"* *sees Jonas looking at Hanna with amusement and grabbing the bottle: "Ha ha ..."* *laughs again and looks at Jonas questioningly* Did you really?! "hears Jonas, who also slurs a bit: "I was drunk and lazy and it was just standing in the front yard... but I didn't keep it, I left it for the next one..."*

Matteo: *puts his arm around David when he sees that he is already feeling the booze* *grins at Hanna's suggestion* Good idea! *laughs at Jonas explanation* How generous... *sees Jonas grinning: "Careful, my friend, now it's my turn.... Never have I ever... cheated on an Abi exam"* *groans slightly and takes the bottle from Jonas and takes a sip* *sees Hanna making big eyes: " Did you really? Wow.... brave and stupid." *laughs* Yes, Spanish.... did not help much... I met him here... *pats David's cheek somewhat awkwardly* ...in the hallway and then I couldn't remember anything from the cheat sheet anyway. *hears Hanna awwing and Jonas laughing: "Good excuse... it's your turn..." I can’t think of anything... I'll give my turn to David...

David: *lets himself fall against Matteo when he puts his arm around him, but then realizes that he is actually sitting too far away for it to be comfortable, and awkwardly moves closer* *frowns as Matteo drinks at the next round, straightens up again and looks at him in horror* Fuck, did you really!? *then hears his next words and looks at him in a mock angry way with narrowed eyes* Are you trying to make me feel guilty!? *can remember that day... shortly after their almost-kiss* *then has to laugh at Hanna's "awww", sighs and leans against Matteo again* *then hears that it is his turn and thinks* *finally says* Never have I ever... *grins slightly* Never have I ever swum in this lake before...

Matteo: *grins at David somewhat mischievously* What? No, never! It's not your fault that I let myself be distracted by you.... *gives him a slightly awkward kiss on the head, because that's the easiest to get at* *shakes his head when he hears his sentence* *hear Jonas and Hanna laughing* He wants to get us all drunk.... *takes a sip and then passes the bottle on* *Jonas grins after drinking and says: "I can do that too ... I have never kissed a boy.* *shakes his head wildly and then announces indignantly* That is homophobic! *sees how Hanna laughs and shakes her head: "I have to drink too."* *then looks a little sheepish* Oh, okay... *sighs a little and reaches for the bottle*

David: *grins contentedly as everyone drinks, but then hears Jonas' words and groans.* *sees how Matteo passes the bottle to Hanna, she drinks and then passes it to him* *straightens up a little and takes a tiny sip* *then hears Hanna: "May I? I still have something ..."* *laughs and nods* *sees how Hanna is about to start talking but then hears Abdi's voice and is a bit confused before he notices that Abdi, Sam and Amira have appeared next to them: "Duuude... you're drinking here without me!"* *then hears Amira: "Which is good, because you've had enough, my friend!"* *hears Sam giggling and Abdi just makes a horrified "But..." before he is interrupted by Amira: "We're leaving now. Are you coming with or are you staying?"* *feels just too slow to answer and too slow to decide, so he leans against Matteo and wraps his arms around his stomach* *tries to close the eyes again, but opens them again immediately because everything is spinning* *hears Jonas and Hanna discussing remotely whether they will leave or not and waits for Matteo to make a decision for both of them*

Matteo: *is a bit confused and quite overwhelmed* *had just concentrated on Hanna who then, however, did not talk* *only lazily lifts his hand in goodbye as Amira, Sam and Abdi say goodbye* *looks from David to Hanna and Jonas and back again to David* *slurs slightly* Wanna hear what Hanna had.... or d’you wanna go home?

David: *hears Matteo's question and just shakes his head* *prefers not to move at all* *hears Jonas: "Okay, Hanna will do hers and then we'll go as well... we're on foot and it takes us forever to get home..."* *is about to remark that he and Matteo are by bike, but then thinks that Jonas might have meant everyone else* *Amira hears sighing: "Yes, okay, Hanna, hurry up... we really want to go..."* *hears Hanna giggling and then saying: "I've never broken a guitar before!"* *sees how Jonas rolls his eyes and grabs the bottle and drinks* *hears Hanna laughing and grinning, but doesn't ask for details* *hears Amira: "Yes, very funny! Can we go now?!"* *somehow still doesn't know if he and Matteo will go with them, but just stays in his arms and waits to see if he moves or not*

Matteo: *rolls his eyes slightly at Hanna's sentence* *mumbles* Wasn't worth it.... *then waves widely and says a little too loud* Byeeee, walk carefully! *then bumps his head against David and mumbles* I do not want to move yet.... *wraps both arms around David and moves even closer to him* Let's stay a little longer, okay?

David: *hears how Matteo says goodbye to the others and lifts his hand sluggishly to say goodbye* *smiles, when Matteo says that he does not want to move yet and nods* *then feels Matteo even closer to him and nods again at his question* *then straightens up a bit to check if the others are gone and can't see them in the dark anymore* *leans his head back against Matteo's shoulder and lets himself fall backwards into a lying position* *finds it much more comfortable than sitting* *mumbles into Matteo's shoulder* I'm drunk... *takes a deep breath and adds* ... and you smell good!

Matteo: *lets out a pleasant sigh when they lie down* *leaves one arm around David's shoulders and puts the other over his hip* *laughs softly at David's words* I'm drunk too... never seen you drunk before... are you any different? *grins a little* Ah, compliments... that's nice... you smell good too by the way... *kisses his head and buries his nose in David's hair*

David: *notes that Matteo is also drunk and thinks that he is probably too lazy to get up as well* *shakes his head slightly when he asks if he is any different when drunk and mumbles* I'm always me... and you get compliments even when I'm not drunk... *smiles when Matteo says that he smells good too and kisses his chest* *sighs quietly and thinks to himself that he can easily add a few compliments on top of it, while he is already at it* *straightens up a little and turns so that he lies half on Matteo's chest and can look at him* *brushes a strand of hair from his face, smiles and then says* I like your hair... *looks him in the eyes, feels slight palpitations of the heart and quietly adds* ... and I love your eyes! *feels somehow less drunk just now, when all other senses have disappeared, when he only focuses on Matteo*

Matteo: *smiles slightly and nods* True.... *grumbles a bit as David turns around* *but then smiles, because he can see him better now* *rolls his eyes slightly as he compliments his hair* *is then embarrassed and probably a little red at his second compliment* *mumbles quietly* Stop.... *lifts  his hand and brushes over David's cheek* ... you are making me feel embarrassed... *looks at him and once again can't believe that David is really here with him, together with him and with everything that goes with it* I, uh... *clears his throat a little* I think you're the best... the best thing that ever happened to me...

David: *grins slightly when Matteo tells him to stop and just wants to continue when he feels Matteo's hand on his cheek and is slightly distracted by it* *looks at him, then hears his words and at first just grins, but then he feels his heart beating faster during Matteo's next sentence, stops grinning and can't believe that Matteo feels this way* *has to swallow because he is quite touched and they are so damn lucky to have found each other and that they feel the same* *bends down slowly and kisses him briefly and gently* *then says quietly* /You/ are the best thing that has ever happened to /me/... *really means that and does not want to imagine how his life would look like without Matteo* *kisses him again and then mumbles* ... you have to stay with me forever... *thinks that it sounds pretty cheesy and pathetic and is sure that he would never have said it if he were sober, because he doesn't really want to seem pathetic and dependent and weak, but basically it's exactly what he wants: to have Matteo in his life forever*

Matteo: *closes his eyes briefly when he is kissed* *then looks at him and hears what he says* *can feel his heart beating and swallows slightly* *is somehow not used to feeling so loved and wanted and safe* *is kissed again and actually wants to deepen the kiss* *but then hears his murmuring and feels how everything in him becomes soft like butter* *hopes that he has no tears in his eyes* *but then it doesn't matter and he pulls back slightly to be able to look at David* *swallows slightly and then says* As long as you want me... *then kisses him again and wraps his arm tighter around him*

David: *finds it difficult to look back at Matteo after the words are out, but manages to do so and quietly breathes out the air he only now realizes he had been holding when he hears his answer* *feels relieved and loved, wanted and like he belongs* *is kissed before he can respond and presses himself closer to Matteo when he feels his arm around him* *murmurs his answer to Matteo into the kiss* I want you forever... *then closes his eyes and continues kissing him* *notices that due to the alcohol and the proximity to Matteo everything still seems to spin around, he gets a little dizzy and that closing his eyes is not really a good idea* *opens them slightly and finally interrupts the kiss* *runs his hand through Matteo's hair and finally lets his head sink back onto Matteo's chest* *mumbles a little whiningly* I'm still drunk. *hopes a little bit that he will feel a little better later when he moves on the way home*

Matteo: *hears his words and is quite happy that they keep kissing and that he can concentrate on that and not on the stupid thought that David will find something sooner or later that he doesn't like about him or that makes him difficult or too much effort* *breathes in deeply as David releases the kiss* *looks at him and smiles slightly* *runs his hand over David's back* *then laughs slightly* Me too... want to go to bed? Shall we make our way home?

David: *grins slightly when Matteo says that he is drunk too* *mumbles* Bed sounds tempting... beaming would be nice now... *sighs softly and then sits up* Yes... let’s go home... but maybe we should push our bikes for a little first? *laughs quietly and looks at Matteo, who has also sat up* *gently runs his hand over his cheek once and looks him in the eyes before he gets up* *stumbles slightly and takes a deep breath until he has the feeling that he is standing reasonably safe* *takes a deep breath and realizes that he has been wearing the binder for too long again and grimaces slightly* *then bends down to the blanket and pulls at one end* Come on! Get up! Bed!

Matteo: *nods his head slightly* *sits up with David* Pushing for a while sounds good... *smiles when D runs a hand over his cheek and was about to lean forward to kiss him again when David gets up* *grumbles slightly* *but then looks at him a little worried* All good? *then gets up as David urges* Yes yes, I'm already coming..... *sees David folding the blanket and picks up his bike so he can put it into the basket* *holds on to the handles and is quite happy that they did not come on foot* *then starts walking with David, David's bike is on his left, Matteo's bike on his right, so they can walk side by side* *then announces* I'm hungry.

David: *shrugs his shoulders when Matteo asks if everything is okay and folds the blanket before he answers* I want to get rid of the binder... *laughs softly and a little desperate* Drunk and wearing a binder is not as cool as I just realized... *puts the blanket in Matteo's basket and then takes his bike and starts walking with Matteo* *is also glad that he has the handles to hold on to, but also that they move a little, because even if he feels the binder even more, he still has the feeling that the buzz is slightly reduced by the movement* *laughs softly when Matteo says he is hungry* No! You?! You're never hungry! *looks at him lovingly from the side and says* If I could cook better, I'd cook you something later... but I can offer to make you a sandwich when we get home...

Matteo: *hears that the binder is bothering and grimaces* We can ride our bikes, then we are home faster... *then shakes his head* Nah, that's just even more exhausting... *looks around a bit* We have jackets with us, loose jackets, you can take it off and my jacket over it? *sees David only smiling and shaking his head* *takes a deep breath* *then laughs slightly and shrugs* Yeah, okay... but even more hungry than usually.... *smiles at his proposal* If I can still do it, I'll put some pasta in the water... I'm up for something hot.... but otherwise a sandwich sounds good....

David: *smiles at Matteo's suggestions and thinks it's really sweet that he thinks like that, but he would still feel uncomfortable if they were to leave the small forest area and see people on the streets of Berlin* *then laughs quietly when he says that he wants to make pasta and says* Well, throwing pasta into hot water is something I can do as well... we motivate each other and I make the pasta and you make some quick sauce? *leaves the small forest area with him and stops* *looks a little bit indecisively to the bike and then to Matteo* *grins slightly* We could try to ride our bikes... slowly... *manages, without staggering, to swing his leg over the saddle* *then looks at Matteo questioningly* Are we sleeping at your place or mine? *smiles slightly again, because for him it is somehow still something special that they don't spend the nights apart*

Matteo: *laughs and then nods* Yeah, you pasta, me sauce... sounds good. *stops when David stops* *looks at him just as indecisively* *then grins* We can try.... *is also getting ready to ride off* *then shrugs his shoulders at his question* Your place? It's a little closer, isn't it?

David: *nods when Matteo suggests that they are going to his place, gets on his bike and slowly starts pedaling* *actually staggers a lot in the beginning, but soon finds the right speed for his drunken state and realizes that the longer they ride, the better it gets* *is nevertheless glad that there is not too much traffic in the area at this time of day and looks at Matteo a few times to check if cycling works for him* *then finally stops in front of his house, gets off his bike, staggers only minimally and locks his bike at the construction-site fence* *grins to Matteo* Sooo... I'm sober again... *laughs softly and shakes his head* Well... more sober... *looks for his keys and, when he finds them, wraps an arm around Matteo's hip and pulls him towards him* *kisses him on the cheek and on the temple and on the corner of the mouth and mumbles* ... and I am in withdrawal....

Matteo: *actually has less problems than David on the bike* *observes him somewhat worried* *is therefore happy when once made it to David's apartment safely* *locks his bike next to David's* *laughs when David says he is sober and shakes his head* *grins as he is pulled closer and wraps his arm around David's shoulders* *smiles as he is kissed and even more at David's words* *wraps his second arm around him and automatically steps in front of him* *looks at him somewhat amused* Oh, yeah? Withdrawal? Contact withdrawal?

David: *smiles at first as Matteo wraps his arms around him, but then frowns when as he looks amused* *but nods seriously at his questions and confirms* Physical contact withdrawal! *then laughs softly and feels his binder constricting his airflow again while taking a breath* That was almost half an hour! *takes a step backwards towards the front door together with Matteo and tries to feel for the keyhole with the key*

Matteo: *laughs and gives him a short kiss* *laughs even more as David tries to unlock the door without looking* This is even difficult when sober.... *takes one arm off Matteo and keeps only one around his shoulders* *turns them around so that David can unlock the door easily* *kisses his cheek when he got the door open and goes up the stairs with him* *but then pulls him close again* *then hears how hard he breathes and doesn't kiss him* *smiles slightly instead and lets go of him* Hurry up and unlock the door so that you can get rid of the thing....

David: *laughs softly as Matteo turns them around so that he can get to the keyhole better and just lets everything happen to him* *somehow makes it up the stairs, but somehow finds it quite exhausting at the moment and doesn't know whether it is because of the binder or the alcohol* *is embraced by Matteo at the top of the stairs and smiles* *wants to kiss him when Matteo lets go of him* *grumbles, but then hears why Matteo has let go of him and nods* *unlocks the door and lets Matteo go in first* *closes the door behind them and points towards the kitchen and says quietly* See what you can find... *then grins slightly and adds* But shhhhh! My sister! *hears Laura's voice amusedly calling from her room: "I already heard you in the hallway - don't be quiet on my account!"* *laughs quietly again and opens the bathroom door* *presses a quick kiss on Matteo’s mouth and mumbles* I’ll be right back...

Matteo: *nods as David points to the kitchen* *then laughs at his addition* *whispers* Oh... not this sentence... suddenly I get hungry for completely different things.... *laughs when he hears Laura* *quickly kisses David back and then goes to knock on Laura's door* *speaks through the door* We're having the munchies and we're making pasta... you want some?

David: *takes off his shirt and binder in the bathroom while listening to Matteo and Laura through the closed door* *hears Laura answer: "No thanks!" and then after a short pause: "Munchies? David should not drink so much!"* *moans and shouts through the two closed doors* I didn't... *puts his shirt back on and opens the door* *adds to Laura* Besides, you only graduate once in your life... so you may drink a little something to toast and so on... *hears Laura murmuring something and then hears louder: "As long as it was just a little bit..."* *groans quietly and shouts back* That's what I said. *hears her again: "Well then go ahead and celebrate..."* *is now somehow a little annoyed and sighs before he pushes Matteo, who has heard everything, to the kitchen* *grumbles when they arrive there*

Matteo: *nods when he hears her say no* Okay.... *but then hears her addition and wants to say that he only meant himself to protect David, when David already interferes* *keeps his mouth shut and lets the siblings do their thing* *but can already see that David is quite annoyed* *lets himself be pushed into the kitchen by him* Hey.... *stands in front of him and looks at him gently* She only means well... but I also understand that it is annoying... that we are annoying....

David: *looks at Matteo when he stands in front of him and snorts softly when he says that Laura only means well* *knows this, but does not want to hear it now* *keeps listening to him and then shakes his head* *mumbles* You're not annoying... you didn't say anything today... *is really grateful to him for this* *knows himself that he should not overdo it, but at least wants to have the feeling now and *but hears Matteo's stomach growling, grins and breaks away from him*then to be completely normal and to be able to do exactly what everyone else does* *puts his hands loosely on Matteo's hips and puts his head on his shoulder* *slowly relaxes a bit and now enjoys that the constricted feeling on his upper body has disappeared* Let's cook... before you starve...

Matteo: *slightly tilts his head* But I won't be able to stop completely... *immediately wraps his arms around him when he leans against him* *whispers quietly* You can always tell us to shut up... this is /your/ life.... *hears his stomach growling and thinks that this is great timing* *then laughs slightly* Okay, let's cook.... *slowly pulls away from him him and goes to the fridge to see if there is tomato paste that he can turn into sauce*

David: *nods slightly when Matteo says that he can't stop completely* *mumbles* You don't have to... *laughs softly when he says that he can tell him to shut up* *thinks that in general it's good that Laura and Matteo worry about him and that they care, but Matteo is right when he says that it's /his/ life* *sighs* At least you could see today that there was a good reason for an exception. *goes to the kitchen cupboard when Matteo detached himself from him and takes out a pack of pasta* *sees that Matteo is standing at the fridge and asks him* Can you get out a bottle of water? I'm thirsty... you too? *then gets a pot from the shelf and fills it with hot water before he puts it on the stove and turns the stove on* *puts some salt into the water and then gets two glasses from the cupboard*

Matteo: *picks out a few things for the sauce and puts them on the counter* *takes the bottle of water from the fridge and places it on the counter* Yes, me too.... *20 minutes later they sit at the kitchen table and eat their pasta with the sauce, which has turned out really good* *looks up, when Laura comes in and gets a bottle from the fridge* *looks from her to David, who ignores her, and back again* There's some left... are you sure you don't want some?

David: *only notices while eating that he himself was quite hungry and how good it feels to eat something now* *looks up only briefly when Laura comes in, but then ignores her and continues eating* *hears her answer to Matteo's question: "Looks really good, but thanks, I had enough for dinner..."* *does not hear her leaving the kitchen and after a few seconds starts peeping in her direction* *she sees her standing at the fridge , but then taking a determined step towards him* *is hugged by her from behind and gets a kiss on the forehead* *hears her mumbling: "Sorry about earlier. I know that you can actually take care of yourself! Happy graduation!"* *feels how she is loosening the hug and now looks up and sees her ruffle Matteo's hair, smiles and says: "And congratulations to you too!"* *has to smile and mumbles now as well* Thank you! *then meets Laura's gaze and holds it for a while* *sees that everything is okay between them and smiles a bit more before he puts another bite of pasta in his mouth* *sees Laura leaning against the refrigerator and hears her ask quietly: "And you celebrated together?"* *nods and tells her* Yes - at the lake - together with Matteo's friends...

Matteo: *sees how Laura hesitates and hopes that this is a good sign* *then grins happily as she embraces David* *then laughs, when she also ruffles his hair* Thank you... *puts another fork full of pasta in his mouth and therefore cannot answer immediately* *but then swallows quickly* Together with /our/ friends.... *sees how Laura smiles and nods* *hears her saying: "That sounds good....".* *grins at her* Yes it does....

David: *grins slightly as Matteo corrects him* Okay... with /our/ friends... *thinks that it still feels a bit like they are more Matteo's friends after all, but that it's getting better with time* *is really grateful and happy that each of them has accepted him without any problems* *scrapes the last bit of sauce from his plate, when Laura finally says: "I'm going to bed now... and listen to music over the headphones, if you want to celebrate some more..."* *hears Laura laughing and turns red* *says horrified* These are things a sister should not worry about... *sees how Laura tilts her head and says mischievously: "I don't think anything... although, yes, one thing: How about I invite you for a pizza tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? To celebrate you graduating? Think it over and let me know! Good night!"* *sees her disappear, pushes the plate away and looks at Matteo* It’s a scary thought that my sister imagines what we are doing in my room... Let's go to your place!

Matteo: *laughs at Laura's statement* *has no problem with that, but she is also not his sister* *smiles at the invitation and then looks at David* *laughs louder at David's statement* Wow, that was the hottest way to ask me for sex I can imagine.... *then tilts his head slightly and grins* And if we go to my place now, she thinks we are doing this because we want to play cards? *knows that's mean, but can't resist teasing him*

David: *huffs at Matteo's first statement and laughs quietly and desperately at his next words* *raises his eyebrows and asks* Maybe!? *but then groans and gets up to clean up the plates* Okay, we'll stay here... *puts the plates in the sink and thinks that this has to be enough for today and that they can clean up the rest of the kitchen tomorrow* *leans against the sink and looks at Matteo* *grins slightly* I have a deck of cards somewhere... *wiggles his eyebrows and points with his head towards his room*

Matteo: *nods strongly when he says, they stay here* Good.... *would not have liked to have to go out again* *then watches him tidy up and empties his glass* *then looks at David who leans against the sink* *laughs slightly and tilts his head* Sexy.... *gets up and goes over to him* *grabs his hand and pulls him towards him* Well then, let's see your cards... *then pulls him with him into David's room*

Mini Fanfic #427: Joker and Queen Play Some Mario Party (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)

Ren: Makoto, you sure you wanna play Mario Party for our date today?

Makoto: (Smiles Softly) I don't see why not. Plus, it has been a while since we actually play one together.

Ren: True. But you do know that this game can and will get hectic down the road, right?

Makoto: Eh. I'm sure it won't go too crazy this time.

First Turn....

Computer playing as Wario obtained a Star hiding inside the Hidden Block on screen.

Ren/Makoto: WHAT?!!!

Makoto: Are you serious right now?!

Ren: (Shook his head Slowly) He didn't miss, Makoto. He did not miss....

Makoto: B-But....this is the first turn of the game....

Ren: Yep. Told you this is gonna get hectic.

Makoto: (Facepalms while Sighing)

Three Turns Later....

Toad starts going up in and down on his Pirate Ship Costume on Screen.

Makoto: (Drops the Controller and Slowly Place Two of her Hands all over her face)

Ren: (Snickering) What's wrong?

Makoto: Ren.....I don't think I could ever see Toad the same way again....

Ren: Why? Cuz he's humping the air in his Pirate Ship suit?

Makoto: ('Groans')

Ren: (Burst out Laughing at Makoto's Dispense) Aha man...This is great. Seeing you squirm like that...I just can't...(Continues Laughing)

Two Turns Later......

Makoto, playing as Yoshi, was able to beat someone's record on Mecha Marathon on screen. The number of yards was approximately Thirty Nine.

Announcer: NEW RECORD!!!

Ren: (Eyes Widened) Jesus Christ, Makoto.....

Makoto: (Giggles Softly) Are you impressed?

Ren: Understatement of the decade....Were you always this good on these Button Mashing Minigames or is this has something to do with your Aikido training?

Makoto: Well.....I guess you could say that my recent training is involved in some way. But truth be told.... I'm actually kind of skillful in these types of games. Even when I was younger.

Ren: Really now?

Makoto: (Simply Nodded) Mmhmm. (Giggles Softly) I can't remember how many times I was able to out best my sister in Mecha Marathon alone during those days. I even tried beating my own record once.

Ren: (Chuckles Lightly) Keep this up and I might as well call you "The Button Mashing Queen" for now on.

Makoto: (The Button Mashing Queen huh?....) (Begins to Smirk while Flipping the side of her hair Elegantly) Why, Ren, while I am oh so flattered by the lovely nickname, maybe try saving the flattery after I beat in Mario Party....(Boops on Ren's Nose) 'Kay?~

Ren: (Shrugged) Whatever you say.....(Gives Makoto a Surprise Kiss on the Cheek) My Queen~ (Goes Back to his Spot)

Makoto: (Immediately Starts Blushing and Then Begins to Turning Away from her Now Chuckling Boyfriend) H-Honestly....

Three Turns Later....

Makoto uses a Golden Mushroom to get a 7.....

Ren: Seven....

.....Then another 7.....

Ren: Seven......!

Makoto: Oh...my.....

......And one more 7 on screen.

Makoto: (Smiles Excitedly) I got a Complete Match!

Ren: (Gives Makoto a Thumbs up) Nice. I'm pretty sure they'll give you Twenty Coins or-

Toad said he'll give Makoto 50 coins on screen.

Ren/Makoto: FIFTY?!!!

Ren: For real?!

Makoto: How is that even- (Starts to Come to a Realization) Ohhhh.....I get it now....

Ren: (Turns to Makoto) What?

Makoto: Okay. So I rolled three Sevens, right?

Ren: Yeah.....

Makoto: ....And the number seven is technically a lucky number. So that means......

Ren: Having three Sevens is an automatic Jackpot....Damn.... Can't believe I forgot that fact. (Shrugged) Guess we all know who's the Coin Star gonna be.

Makoto: (Smiles Brightly and Confidently) Yes. Yes we do. And who knows, maybe this board will go in my favor.

Two Turn Later......

Makoto: What do you mean you want Boo to steal my star?!

Ren: (Shrugged while having Mario, the character he's playing as, Stand in front of Boo on Screen) Sorry, 'hon. But let's be honest, the moment you got that Jackpot, instantly makes you a huge threat.

Makoto: (Eyes Widened in Disbelief) T-This is ridiculous! Why couldn't you steal from Luigi?! O-Or from Wario?!

Ren: They're not nearly as a threat as you are. Plus, you're already in the lead of getting the Coin Star soooo........

Makoto: That's doesn't mean you have to steal my Well Deserved Star!

Ren: Ah c'mon, Makoto. I'm sure you'll be able to get another one.... probably.

Makoto: Ren, I swear to your Goddess Mother....If you even think about picking Yoshi's name in the box, so help me, I-

Ren picks Yoshi's name on the box, having Boo steal Makoto's Star on screen.

Makoto: No!

Ren: (Shrugged While Chuckling) Welcome to the world of Mario Party, My Queen. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Makoto: (Slowly Turns to Ren with a Glare in her Eyes) Mark my words, Amimiya....One of these turns....(Pokes on Ren's Cheek) I. Will. Get. You. Back. For. This!......(Pauses at Poking Ren's Cheek for a minute) This..... isn't bothering you in the slightest, is it?

Ren: Nope. It's more adorable if anything....(Smirks at Makoto) Just like you are right now~

Makoto: (Blushes while Pouting at Ren) I am not cute!!

Two Turns Later.........

Toad starts going up in and down on his Pirate Ship Costume on Screen.....again.

Ren: You know this might be his daily workout routine, right?

Makoto: (Slowly Turns to Ren Eyes Widened in Disbelief) Why are you trying to ruin Toad for me?!

Ren: Cuz.......... Reasons.

Makoto: You're just doing this to mess with me, are you?

Ren: (Shrugged with a Smirk on his Face) Pretty much, yeah.

Makoto: (Facepalms while Sighing) Figures....

Two Turns Later.......

Ren and Makoto was able to win a 2 vs. 2 Minigame together on screen.

Makoto: (Smirks Victoriously at the Screen) This is what happens when you underestimate The Queen and Joker.....

Ren: (Smirks at the Screen as well) ...... Should've consider yourselves losers when you had the chance.

The couple gives each other Hi Fives as they continue playing the game.

One Turn Later......

Makoto: (Gives Ren a somewhat Evil Smirk on her face once Yoshi is in front of Boo on screen)

Ren: Uhhhh....Why are you staring at me like that.

Makoto: (Chooses The "Steal Star" Option and Scrolls down to Mario's name)

Ren: (Starts Getting Scared Now) H-Hold on now! D-Don't you think we need to talk about this first? I mean....(Chuckles Awkwardly) Why would you want to steal a Star from someone like me?

Makoto: Oh gee....I don't know where to start~ How about the time you STOLE a Star from me a few turns ago.

Ren: Okay. I admit....That was a pretty dick move on my part....

Makoto: Ya think?

Ren: Yes. B-But c'mon! You were a threat then. I had to do something to slow you down. Can't we just let bygones be bygones?

Makoto: .................No. (Was About to-)

Ren: Wait!! Y-You shouldn't steal from me!

Makoto: (Raised an Eyebrow at Ren) And why not?

Ren: It's... it's because I Love You!

Makoto: .....................What?

Ren: Yeah! Uh...You heard me! I love you very very much, Makoto Niijima! All day, Everyday! I mean.... Don't you love me too?

Makoto: (Sighs as she Place her Controller down on her lap and Gently Grab Ren's hand) Ren Amimiya, you of all people should know that I love you more than you or anyone else in this world, will ever know. You mean everything to me, remember?

Ren: (Smiles Softly into Makoto's Eyes) How could I? You mean the world to me too.

Makoto: I know........ However....

Ren: (Eyes Widened once He Noticed Something Sinister in his Girlfriend's Voice) !!!

Makoto: It's just like what Pitto said to everyone of us here, Ren......(Evil Smirk Forms on her Face) "Everything Goes in Mario Party."

Ren: Wait, NO-

And just like that, Makoto bring Ren's hand down onto the "A" Button on Makoto's Controller, causing Boo to steal his Star instantly on screen.

*You Got Star Fanfare Plays*

Ren: Well.......I guess you say I deserve that one, huh?

Makoto: Pretty much. But......

Ren: Hm?

Makoto: (Gently Squeezes Ren's Hand while Blushing a Little) I really do mean it when I said I love you.

Ren: (Begins to Smile Sincerely before Giving Makoto a Kiss on the Forehead) Never doubted you for a second, My Queen~ (Starts Blushing Too) I just hope that you didn't doubt me either. Cause...I really meant it when I said I love you too, you know?

Makoto: (Happily Gives Ren a Loving and Relaxing Hug) I know. And I never doubted you or those words either. Not even once.

Once Ren hugs Makoto close to him, the couple stayed like this for a couple of minutes, when suddenly.....

Ren: Hey, Makoto?

Makoto: (Snuggling into Ren's Embrace) Hm?

Ren: (Pause the Game) Instead of just finishing the rest of the game....How about we watch a movie insted?

Makoto: (Smiles Softly) Yeah. I'd like that very much.

Later that Evening......

Futuba: (Look Through the Window to see Ren and Makoto Snuggling with one another Under a Blanket) Ugh... Look at them... Acting like a bunch of Lovey-Dovey teenagers...

Dark Pit: (Rolled his Eyes) Tell me about it. They might as well give every other couple in this mansion a run for their money at this point....

Pit: (Carrying Some Shopping Bags with him) I dunno, you guys....(Smiles Brightly) I think pretty cute together.

Futuba: Too cute if you ask me.... Honestly, it's stuff like this makes me glad that I don't have a Love Interest.

Dark Pit: Wait. Don't you have a crush on that Yusuke guy or something?

Futuba: (Immediately Starts Blushing) W-WHAT?! I-I don't have crush on Inari!!

Dark Pit: (Raised an Eyebrow) Really? Then how come you keep calling him that whenever you see him?

Pit: Yeah. Why do you call him them?

Futuba: (Blush Starts Getting Darker) N-No reason!! I-I always call him that!! It's nothing special or anything! Honest!! (Squeezes Her Cup of Drink so hard that it Breaks)

Dark Pit: Whatever. (Opens the Door to get inside)

The luckiest (Ashton Imagine) - Request

You can ask for a request here 

So thanks to @laserbeamsky for her lovely request. It’s my first Ashton stuff and I’m kinda proud of it - I wouldn’t have written it if it wasn’t a request, I always write about Luke idk why, so thanks for taking me out of my comfort zone. I hope you really enjoy it! 

(Sorry in advance for any typos or grammar mistakes, I wrote it while I was on the bus and although I already revised, it may contain some of them)

Warnings: none

You step out of the car and look at Ashton nervously. He smiles and put his hand in the small of your back, guiding you towards the front door of the house. “Everything’s gonna be fine, Y/N” he says, kissing your temple and then he rings the doorbell. You take a deep breath while you hear some movement behind the door. It suddenly opens and a pretty girl appears, smile on her face.

“Hey Ash, finally,” she says and gives your boyfriend a quick hug. She turns to you and smiles even wider. “Y/N, right?” she asks and you nod smiling and she hugs you too. “I’m Crystal, I was dying to meet you.” she exclaims and almost drags you to inside the house. “They’re in the backyard, you know the way” she turns to Ashton and he takes your hand, taking you with him through the living room to the big glass doors outside. Some music plays from an unknown source and you can hear someone laughing loudly. When you step outside, you find three boys, bottle of beer in hand, laughing over some goofy comment.

“C'mon, you’ve started without us?” Ashton asks them and the boys came and greeted him. “Guys, this is Y/N” he introduces you, almost proudly and you smile shyly.

“The famous Y/N” one of the blond boys says and approaches you to hug you quickly. “I’m Luke, and these are Michael and Calum” he says and the other two follow and give you the same welcome.

“Don’t let them fool you, I’m the only decent one in this group” Michael says and you giggle.

“Yeah, sure” Calum says, “I don’t even know how you have a girlfriend” he exclaims and handles you a cold beer that you gladly accept. “First one’s on the house” he smiles at you. “C'mon, have a sit”

You sit in one of the chairs and the conversation flow easily among you. Once you realise, a couple of hours have passed and any of you have noticed about it. The boys are an infinite source of funny stuff, from anecdotes from the tours to dad jokes. You also collaborate with some of your own anecdotes and surprise them with some goofy things they don’t even know about Ashton, things that make him blush like they’ve never seen before. During all this time, your boyfriend has watched how you leave your shyness behind and make yourself a place in the group, like it wasn’t the first time they meet you. Beer after beer, he’s sure that you’ll fit perfectly with all of them, with their stupid things and lazy evenings like that one.

“One you’re not even a little drunk?” Luke asks you while putting down his own empty bottle, red cheeks flushing. “How many beers have you already had?”

“I don’t know… Four? Maybe five?” You answer and a laugh escapes your mouth at the frowning boy in front of you.

“She’s such a hard rock, I tell you” Ashton adds. He takes advantage of one moment you get up from your chair to sit you in his lap. “She’d beat all of us in a shot competition without blinking.”

“Even Cal?” Luke questions and you laugh again while Ashton nods effusively.

“Not in a mood for shots today but any other day? I’m ready to win a competition” Calum looks at you like challenging you and you respond to him the same way.

“Challenge accepted, Hood” you reply, and then he offers you a fist pump and the two of you end laughing.

“Oh c'mon!” Michael huffed, “You cannot be this perfect. Not even Crystal is” he says and his girlfriend hits his shoulder, pretending to be offended. “I’m serious, is there anything you can’t do? What about videogames?”

“Well…”, you start “I’m not that bad, actually”

“Y/N, you are officially challenged to beat me in a videogame” he solemnly says and he enters into the house. Still wondering if he’s being serious, the group moves to the living room, where Michael is looking through his collection of games. You know that you are going to lose. Playing against him? Ashton already told you how good he is. You take a sit on the sofa and wait for the blond to pick a game. When he finally shows it to you all, you throw your hands in the air, joyful, and Ashton laughs.

“What’s so funny?” Luke asks confused. “It’s only Mario Kart”

“That’s the funny thing” your boyfriend looks at Michael still with a smile on his face. “Be prepare to die, mate”

Only four of you play the game, Luke and Ashton prefer watching it from the outside. You choose playing with Luigi and the game starts. You stay in second place for the 2 first laps, not far from Michael, who’s winning. He tries to sabotage you by throwing all types of traps, but just towards the end of the third and final lap, you’re able to throw him a weapon which makes him go out of the road, making him curse. You cannot help jump from the sofa when the little man on the green jumpsuit crosses the finish line, crowning you as the winner. Michael looks at you while the rest congratulate you.

“I guess that was a fair competition” he says, offering you his hand, which you gladly shake.

“That’s my girl” Ashton appears from behind you and turns your body, so he can pull you in a quick kiss. The boys holler around you but far from being embarrassed, you enjoy it and smile on your boyfriend’s lips.

“So…” Luke speaks, “she’s funny, a beer champion, a Mario Kart goddess, she’s not blonde…” he emphasises and the rest of them laughs at some kind of joke you don’t get. “You better take care of her, man” he says to Ashton.

“I know” he responds, putting his hands on your waits and putting a light kiss on your hair.

//

You wake up the next morning with the lightest headache, the light coming through the curtains making you scrunch your eyes and close them again. Then you realise about the soft touch on your shoulder. Ashton continues drawing little circles on your skin while you start to adapt to the clarity of the room.

“Good morning” he mumbles and leaves a sweet peck on the same place he was touching a second before. “We forgot to close the curtains last night” he says with a raspy tone and you put you arm over your eyes, shielding them from the light.

“Oh really?” you joke and giggle. He puts his head on your chest and you start to play with his hair, feeling how relaxing it is for him. “Don’t fall asleep again” your warn him, continuing touching his messy bed hair while he hums softly in response. You move one of your hands to the bedside table and reach for your phone, curious to see what time it is. It is probably late, as the night before you arrived later than expected after hanging with the boys. You smile at the good memories but soon you frown your eyebrows. Your phone screen shows you hundreds of notifications, lots of new people following you and liking all your tweets and photos on Instagram.

You get up and Ashton does with you while you rest your back on the headboard. He return back to the pillow, sleepy, as you continue watching how your social media has gone crazy. When you find the reason of all the chaos, after a minute, you cannot do other thing than opening your eyes in surprise.

“Wow” you’re able to say, watching the screen.

“What?” Ashton asks sleepily from his place by your side.

“And you ask what?” you exclaim, nearly shoving your phone in your boyfriend’s face.

He opens his eyes for a second and looks at the screen to close them again. “Oh, that” he says and a smirk spreads on his face.

You watch his smile and kiss him on the forehead, returning your attention to the phone. You remember the moment in which the photo was taken, late last night, still at Michael’s. In the photo, you’re on Ashton’s lap, your head in his shoulder, cuddled in his embrace while you were almost falling sleep, and he was placing a kiss on top of your head. You remember Luke saying how cheesy you were and how he was taking a photo so he had proof of it. It was a beautiful picture, to be honest, but you didn’t expect the man beside to be uploading it to Instagram. Not at least as the first photo of you two as a couple.

You read the caption and your heart skips a beat, a silly smile appearing on your lips.

“So… are we officially official now?” you inquire. He drags you down to the mattress and pulls you in a hug. “Wow, that’s a really big step, Irwin.”

“It’s not like I needed to confirm anything but… I guess I just wanted the world to know how much you mean to me” he says and you hug him more.

I “I love you, Ash” you murmur.

He turns his body and hovers yours. “Really?” You nod and he captures your lips in his for a moment. “Well,” he whispers, stating his way down your neck, “let me show you how much I love you then.”

I want a thousand nights like tonight, but only if she sleeps in my arms each one of them. Feeling the luckiest man in the world.

New Mario Movie: Plot Prediction (Part 4)

Oh, yes. This is still going.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Mario and the Toads wait a few days before putting their escape plan into action.

Not just because Mario needs a few days to recoup, not just because they want a few days of Best Behavior to lure Bowser into complacency,

But because the path he’ll need to take through the pipes is pretty treacherous.

Peach’s Castle’s water supply is fed by the moat, which is itself fed by a stream from a private lake.

The plan is for Mario to swim through the maze of pipes unto the lake and out.

None of the Toads have ever attempted this because they can't swim very well. 

They have no legs.

Look at these poor freaks.

It’ll be pretty dark. There are some tanks where it’ll be shallow enough to breathe but not many. 

Mario can’t afford to make a wrong turn.

Training Montage!

They spend the next several days alternating between keeping Mario in shape and pretending to be doing nothing whenever one of the Koopa Troop happens by.

Toadsworth goes over the map of the sewer system over and over again.

Meanwhile...

Luigi is also busy.

Still working on a hydroelectric generator that will work on the van.

You can tell the poor man is scared out of his wits.

He’s constantly looking over his shoulder, jumping at small sounds,

Any second expecting the people keeping his brother hostage to show up at the door. 

He works long into the night

Because sleeping isn’t happening.

Keeping his hands busy so as not to go mad.

The whole time, begging to he knows not who:

Please work. Please work.

The night of the escape, Mario can’t sleep either.

“Mario, you should get some rest.”

Can’t. His heart’s too loud. It’s keeping him up.

Finally, after several agonizing hours of not falling asleep, Toadbert nudges him awake.

It’s time.

They manage to slink past the night patrol and reach the sewer area, where Mario shuts off the water.

They can only afford to keep the water off for a minute. If one of Bowser’s minions notices the water isn’t working, this trip won’t last very long. 

They slide one of the pipes out of the way, and Mario climbs inside with one of those headlights on.

Very fashionable.

Mario is nervous as they roll the pipe back into place behind him.

“Remember, Master Mario,

“Stay the course.”

“We’ll keep the water off as long as possible.”

Mario climbs in. All is dark.

Hope you kids aren’t claustrophobic.

Too soon, a Koopa approaches the kitchen sink for a glass of water. 

The knob squeaks and nada comes out of the faucet.

“Hey, what gives?”

The Toads see that someone in the kitchen is trying to get some water and reluctantly turn it on.

Water flows past Mario’s knees. Before long, he’s swimming. 

The Koopa finally gets his glass of water.

He takes a drink and smacks his lips, frowning.

Tastes kind of... mannish? 

He walks away, muttering about tap water. So far, everything’s good.

Mario keeps pace, managing to pop up for air in the tanks where several pipes branch off.

Everything is going swimmingly (Hee!) until Mario notices a bleached white something skirting out of site at the end of an elbow pipe.

Okay, you’re all alone, there’s nowhere to run, and there’s something in the pipe with you.

Don’t freak out.

Mario can’t afford to go back or even slow down. 

He has no choice but to follow the thing he saw.

He reaches another tank before he’s grabbed.

The thing, as you might have guessed already, is a Blooper.

“Imma squid if you haven’t noticed!”

The Blooper grabs Mario and drags him to the bottom of the tank, trying to drown him. 

Those tentacles are everywhere, binding his legs and covering his mouth. Mario can barely move.

And the Blooper’s eyes are just fixed on him, watching him squirm.

Out of desperation, Mario bites down hard on the tentacle covering his mouth.

The Blooper squeals and lets go, while also releasing a cloud of ink. 

Not good.

The ink spreads to each corner of the tank. Mario’s headlight can’t break through. All around him is inky black.

Which way is out? Which way is up?

Mario frantically flails through the water, encountering wall after wall.

Agonizing, Mario kicks against the side of the tank. The Toads hear the echo.

“Is that Mario?”

“I think he’s stuck!”

“What do we do?”

The Toads are petrified. They know they might be listening to Mario drowning.

Water is stored in the tank when it’s shut off, so shutting off the water again won’t save Mario.

So, they opt for the opposite solution.

Toads stationed all throughout the castle proceed to turn on every source of water they can find.

Sinks are twisted full blast, bathtubs are filled, fountains do not so much spit water as they do vomit it.

Toadsworth flips a lever, and sprinklers spray all over the castle grounds. 

The excessive demand drains the tank. Mario is deposited onto his knees at the bottom, coughing.

The Blooper flails, beached.

However, all that water is making a lot of noise. It sounds like a waterfall is pounding through the castle.

Kamek pulls the sleeping mask over his forehead.

“What is that sound?”

Before long, the water runs black. Kamek sees the sprinkler spraying the window panes with inky black rain.

“What the devil is going on?”

The Toads are caught red handed, staring at Kamek with broken-off handles in their hands.

One of the bathrooms is completely flooded. Toads are standing up to their waists in inky water.

“What do you twerps think you’re doing?”

Suddenly, Kamek’s eyes narrow. 

“Where’s that plumber?”

“That plumber” is rising to his feet in the tank, looking rapidly from one pipe to another.

There are many pipes leading out of this particular tank, each one gushing water as the tank attempts to refill.

Mario takes a moment to reorient himself, remember his place.

He spots a hole higher up and decides that must be the one.

He jumps up to it, using the Blooper as a springboard. 

He braces himself against the flow and powers inside.

Meanwhile, Kamek is giving a very violent, spur-of-the-moment interrogation.

“I said, WHERE IS HE?”

The Toads are terrified, stammering, “I don’t know! Have you seen him?”

“Nope, not me!”

They’re scared out of their wits, but none of them will give him up.

Kamek is beyond furious.

“You little, scheming ingrates!”

Kamek gives orders to search the castle top to bottom until they find Mario.

But, Mario isn’t in the castle.

Mario finally swims out of the pipe at the base of the castle moat, dodging Cheep Cheeps on his way to the surface. 

He clambers onto the bank, exhausted.

The lights are all on in the castle above him.

He doesn’t have more than a moment to himself before he hears somebody shout. 

“Over here! I see a light!”

Cazzo! Mario forgot about his headlight, blaring into the night like a landing signal. Right here! 

Mario throws the light off his head without turning it off and ducks back into the moat. 

The person who shouted, a Paratroopa, sees the light discarded on the ground and the ripple in the moat. 

“Guys! I think he’s in the moat!”

The Paratroops retreats into his shell and dives in after him.

The shell, spinning through the water, is soon joined by several others. Mario turns to see several hard, fast turtle shells coming right at him. 

He manages to dive below one, but a second slams into him. It’s like being grazed by a torpedo.

Reeling, Mario nonetheless manages to grab onto a third as it spins below him. 

The Koopa spins onto the bank, dragging Mario behind him. 

Mario kicks away the Koopa shell. It spins away, its owner yelling helplessly.

On land, Mario doesn’t have to worry about Koopa barreling at him from all directions.

But that doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods yet.

Mario hears a distant barking. It’s a sound every gamer recognizes. 

He turns to see Richard, the Chain Chomp. A Walker Guy is holding the end of his chain.

Now, for those of you who have never played Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, a Walker Guy walking a Chain Chomp is less like a man walking a dog and more like a kid failing the rodeo.

The Walker Guy is thrown around, yanked off his feet, and dragged, facedown, through the dirt as the Chain Chomp merrily launches itself at its target.

That’s basically the deal here, too. The Walker Guy is being whipped too and fro like he’s on the pain end of a skating chain. 

Richard is barreling right towards Mario. The ground rumbles with every bounce. 

Mario sprints, relying on pure adrenaline.

But, Richard is faster. The outline of the Chain Chomp soon dwarfs Mario, those white teeth glinting in the starlight...

At the last second, Mario rolls to the side, out of the way. Richard barrels past him.

The chain snakes past before the Walker Guy passes into view. Mario throws himself at him and holds him tight.

“Hey! What do you think you’re-?”

The Walker Guy doesn’t finish. A shadow is looming over them. The Walker Guy and Mario look up to see Richard snarling down at the pair of them. His target is right in front of him. It doesn’t matter that his keeper is in the way. Chain Chomps are opportunistic like that.

The Walker Guy frantically kicks at Mario. “Get off! Get away!” 

Mario waits until Richard has lunged to get off, but at that point, it’s too late for the Chain Chomp to change its trajectory. The Walker Guy is buried under two tons of metal and mouth.

He’s twitching slightly as Richard rolls off him. The end of the chain has been thrown loose by the impact. Mario grabs it.

Maybe that wasn’t the best idea.

Richard spins frantically after Mario, but the end of his chain always whips just out of his reach, like a dog chasing his tail.

Mario hangs on for dear life. 

The g-force is killer.

Finally, Richard gives up and bounds away from the castle, worked up and directionless, dragging Mario behind him. 

The Walker Guy watches, stunned, as Mario, and his charge, disappear into the distance.

One thought escapes the mouth behind his mask:

“I am so fired.”

Kamek is livid.

He has all the Toads lined up in front of him in the throne room. The entire castle staff.

“How long have you been planning this?” 

Everyone is looking at the floor.

“TELL ME!”

No one moves a muscle. Kamek throws the Toadsworth’s map of the sewer system on the floor in front of them.

“Did you really think we’d never find out about this? 

“Did you think you could just do WHATEVER YOU WANT?

“Lord Bowser has been soft on you up until now, but if he were awake-!”

“If I were awake what?”

Kamek jumps his entire height. Bowser is not yet fully awake, but Kamek is terrified. Despite his threats, he was kind of hoping he could have all this resolved before Bowser found out.

“Kamek, what’s going on?”

He finally notices the Toads. Many of them are still soaking wet.

“Geez, don’t these things know how to clean up after themselves?

“Why are they all here?

“And who said you could sit in the throne?”

Kamek stammers.

“Well, uh, you see, sir, the thing is, um...”

But Toadette is the one whose voice rings clear. “Mario escaped!”

Bowser looks. Toadette glares up at him, defiant.

Bowser blinks, utterly confused. “Mario? My plumber?”

Toadette nods. “That’s right. He’s gone! And you’ll never find him!”

Bowser doesn’t take long to switch from incredulity to white-hot rage.

“YOU LET MY PLUMBER ESCAPE!? What were you, asleep!?”

The other minions present cower. Kamek manages to stammer out a nervous, “Well, technically yes, and so were you...”

“This is UNBELIEVABLE. What kind of wizard can’t even catch one little plumber?”

Bowser is terrifying. The size, the power, the glistening sharpness of those scales,

And yet, there’s something heartening about seeing him so enraged. 

It’s undeniable proof of their success.

This is why Toadsworth and Toadette smile, though they know that things will only get harder from here.

Bowser sees Toadette smirking and grabs her. 

“So, you think he’s home free, huh? You got lucky once! Don’t forget that!”

He tosses her to the ground and gives orders.

Station patrols at every train station and road to the Metro Kingdom. 

He’s confident they’ll find Mario, for he knows to whom he’ll return.

And speaking of which,

Perhaps it’s time they finally paid a visit to the other Mario brother...

To be continued...

[adventuresofapsychoticfangirl]

So, What Have I Been Up To?

So, let me update myself (and you) on what’s going on inside my head. This is as of August 21, 2021.

I’m most attached to One Piece right now. I’m putting a trigger warning in for people who hate Mary Sues. I sound like one. Just pretend it’s not real! I’d cringe if it wasn’t me. But this is my alternate reality.

Trigger Warning for Fans: Not following the canon, Mary Sue-like circumstances, I’m dating a canon character, sex

Spoiler Warnings: One Piece,

No matter how many times I double and triple-check, Ace is alive. And he is in love with me. Gosh, this isn’t going to be good venting because I’m gonna be constantly apologizing for my ridiculously, literally unbelievable, yet enviable situation. I literally poked his forehead and it burns my finger. So he’s not going away. Apparently, he shares his powers with Sabo, who I know exists.

Anyway, I’ve (humbly?) rejected Ace in favor of Mihawk. I’m not good enough for Ace anyway. Mihawk’s already told me to disregard the canon. We’re dating. He’s very sweet to me. I don’t deserve him, but he absolutely hates when I say that, so I’ll try to let up in my posts.

Somehow, Mihawk lets me be a Straw Hat. This is where the walls slowly begin to reappear. Would he actually let me? But then again, would he date me? People keep telling me how pretty I am. It makes me feel like a Mary Sue because that’s what would happen in a fanfiction about a Mary Sue. But I have low self-esteem, which is one thing a Mary Sue will never have.

I picked a fight with Kaido and lost. But it was a decent fight. No one can kill me because (soulbond logic?). They can only knock me out and make me feel, “the pain of death”. No, I’m not caught up with the whole manga. It gives me anxiety to update the character/story database that’s in this system. Ace would be a great example of that. But I’m used to him in the headspace.

I used to be a part of CP9, but they turned heel on me after several months of “friendship”. Very annoying. Kinda heartbreaking. I should have seen it coming. They’re heartless assassins. Luffy wants to be my friend and replace CP9. But I’ll probably make a post about it.

In Marvel, Dr. Strange noticed I have a lot of sexual energy. It’s kind of a superpower. I can arouse pretty much any Average Joe with just energy. It takes a little more skill to arouse stronger people. I call it Finesse. There are other sexual things I can do, but for the sake of this blog, I won’t mention the other things I can do. More Mary Sues stuff, amirite?

Now, why is Dr. Strange around? Well, I’m a part of an (esteemed?) organization called, “The Inter-Dimensional Collective of Heroes”. During my spiritual journey, I happened to save a group of people from a spiritual racketeer. This was all in the spirit world. New Age spirituality is weird. I “downloaded” a message via automatic writing. I was inducted in 2021 after a headmate nominated me. Other members include Kirby (whom I’m friends with), Mario & Luigi, Link, and a host of video game and anime characters, along with people I don’t know, and people from other non-fiction universes. My story is apparently well known. I’ll share it later.

I have a real-world therapist (whom I won’t name), but I also have a therapist from the IDCH. His name is Dr. Enis Kabera, and his story is very interesting. He helped a villain from his world through his psychological issues to avoid the destruction of the entire land! He’s very good at what he does. He has therapeutic powers! Like he has magical powers that have a therapeutic effect on people! I heard the Head of New Inductees (Victor Mazim) call me one of his most difficult cases. Yay (sarcasm). I’ve got a lot of trauma, and it affects the way I act in the background when I’m not in front.

Also, I was in this weird spiritual hospital. They say my diagnosis was a lack of love. They’ve had me on a spiritual IV drip for a few days now. It dispenses love. Mihawk is very supportive of me. The doctors only let me see people who are giving me love. Weird, I haven’t seen any of my headmates. I hate that they keep being displaced due to my illness. But that’s a story for later.

Oh, shoot, I almost forgot to mention, I have two kids. They’re metaphysical kids that each have their own stories. I’m afraid to have kids in the real world because of the way that America’s health system treats black women (and trans people). Perhaps I’ll ask the metaphysical Facebook group I’m in for advice. There are stories of the souls of children visiting their mothers, but that’s before birth. I’m not pregnant, and my boyfriend is a soulbond. My internal family is so…atypical.

Anyway, that’s all for this update!

[classicdaisycalico]

You know the fave™️™️™️ mario OTP for the ask meme 😎

WHO SAID “I LOVE YOU” FIRST:Oh, definitely Daisy WHO WOULD HAVE THE OTHER’S PICTURE AS THEIR PHONE BACKGROUND:Omg Luigi that’s so obvious. Because Daisy is so far away most of the time he usually has a picture of her on his home screen AND his lockscreen because he loves her so much WHO LEAVES NOTES WRITTEN IN FOG ON THE BATHROOM MIRROR:Daisy! She loves leaving motivational notes for Luigi when she thinks he’s having a bad day. And of course he loves them to bits WHO BUYS THE OTHER CHEESY GIFTS: Both like buying cheesy gifts for each other. Either they send the other their cheesy gifts when they’re far away or they give them the gifts to their faces whenever they’re both in the same place. It’s adorable WHO INITIATED THE FIRST KISS:I’m gonna go with Daisy on this one. I think she just got really excited one day and then she just kinda kissed him on impulse. Of course, she pulled away because wow, she forgot to ask if he was okay with it. Butttttt that was also when he decided to kiss her back lol. So that’s the story of their first kiss.WHO KISSES THE OTHER AWAKE IN THE MORNING:Both of them do! It’s actually kinda cute; they’ll probably just give each other lil pecks on the cheek or nose or forehead and occasionally on the lips. But like I said. It’s adorable. Fight me.WHO STARTS TICKLE FIGHTS:Surprise! It’s actually Luigi! It’s the one thing he’s confident with when it comes to messing with his princess. He’ll probably tickle her in the rib cage because it’s one of her weak spots. Plus, he thinks it’s adorable when she laughs.*Aaaand SKIP*WHO SURPRISES THE OTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AT WORK WITH LUNCH:Both of them. Daisy would absolutely adore all the effort that Luigi put into making the food (because wow, Italians sure know their shit when it comes to food). Of course, Luigi would love Daisy’s food to bits, too. I think Daisy’s got some culinary prowess too, kinda like how Peach has, but not because of the stereotypical feminine values that Peach seems to be attached to. I think it’s more that Daisy doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty with a lot of things, and cooking/baking happens to be one of them.WHO WAS NERVOUS AND SHY ON THE FIRST DATE:Oh, definitely Luigi. Dude’s got a lot of confidence issues, and the fact that he, a working-class plumber, was on a date with an obviously wealthy princess, probably had him all worked up. Thankfully, nothing went wrong, because Daisy must have understood how nervous he was, poor thing.WHO KILLS/TAKES OUT THE SPIDERS:Both of them take out the spiders but never kill them.WHO LOUDLY PROCLAIMS THEIR LOVE WHEN THEY’RE DRUNK:Neither of them seem like the type to get completely shit-faced. But personally, I really don’t think Daisy needs anything to aid her in letting the world know that she loves her handsome man in green. (She uses those exact words, too. And Luigi is blushing like crazy the entire time but at least he’s confident that his princess will always love him.)

OMG THIS WAS SO CUTE THANK YOUUUUUUUUU~~~~

5 Years of Wrecking, Week 4, Day 6

5 Years of Wrecking

Week 4 (Nov. 19 - Nov. 25): Core Four Week

Friday: Fanworks

I meant to post this one yesterday, but I didn’t have time to finish it with all the Thanksgiving busyness going on. So here’s some Thanksgiving busyness featuring the Core Four! 

Tamora glanced at the pot of boiling water on the stovetop. "Your pasta's almost done, shortstack. Looks different this time."

"Luigi showed me a new recipe for stuffed shells last week! I wanted to give it a try," he responded excitedly.

She raised an eyebrow. "How're you gonna eat those? They're mostly cheese, aren't they?" she replied in between shoving handfuls of stuffing into the turkey.

He smiled and held up a plate containing two piles of filling -- one with yellowish bits, and one a creamy white. Both smelled delicious. "I'm trying eggplant for half of the batch. Should be interesting!"

Working off of the counter behind them, Ralph whistled to himself as he rhythmically pounded away on his super-sized bowl full of cooked potatoes, stopping occasionally to crush a clove of garlic into the mix. The scent was so pleasant that he didn't even mind how the mixture clung to his fingers. He was glad to be hosting the Thanksgiving prep work; it was nice to have family in the house on a busy holiday morning. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Vanellope sitting under the kitchen table, sampling one of the pies Mary had supplied.

"Kid, cut that out. We're not gonna have enough pies left over for Hero's Duty if you keep eating them."

She leaned her head back against a chair leg, exasperated. "I'm only having one, sheesh,” she pouted, licking the cherry filling off her fingers.

"Hey Sarge, can you make sure she doesn't get to any more of the pies?" He held up his hands to demonstrate that they were covered in warm potato-and-garlic paste.

"I'd love to, but I'm elbow deep in the ass-end of a bird, in case you haven't noticed."

He groaned in response. "Felix, can you put the pies somewhere Vanellope can't reach?"

The racer took the opportunity to retreat outside and eat her pie in peace. Felix saw her leaving but looked the other way. He'd had a hankering for pie all day and really didn't blame Vanellope for snatching one, since they had plenty.

He drained the pasta through a colander over the sink. "Did you say something, brother?"

"Never mind. She made a break for it," Ralph shrugged.

"Anyway, how're the potatoes coming, Wreck-It? It looks like we're gonna have enough to feed the whole arcade."

"Heh, well, that's sorta the plan. Anything we don't get to is gonna go to the Nicelanders' spread. They're hosting East Niceland this year so I'll bring over the extra mashed potatoes when we all go drop by later."

Tamora finished stuffing the turkey and opened the oven door. "Good thing we're doing this at your place. Our stovetop couldn't fit a bowl that size."

"We can make everything at once with this much elbow room!" Felix added, scooping the filling into the shells on a pan.

"Yeah, I've even got enough room in there to keep the leftovers warm until we're all done and ready to go. Speakin' of which, let me throw these on top." Ralph set his bowl on the stove, covering it with a lid. "There! Wouldn't be the same without the old Ham Hands touch."

Felix slapped a hand over his forehead. "That reminds me, I knew I forgot something! I left our sauce at home. I'll be right back." He pulled off his apron and headed out.

---

"Ah, there we go." Felix closed his front door, can of tomato sauce in hand. He was just about to head off when he saw Vanellope approaching from the lake. As she came closer, he noticed that she was holding the empty tin from the pie she'd enjoyed earlier.

"Vanny, what were you doing all the way out there?"

"I couldn't finish all that pie, so I brought the rest down to the lake and fed it to the ducks! They liked it so much, they wanna be friends!" She gestured to the ducks at a distance behind her.

For a few seconds, the waterfowl continued plodding along at a calm pace, following the lingering scent of the pie. However, upon catching sight of Felix, the ducks began angrily beating their wings and quacking frantically. Before he could react, the handyman found himself covered in an aggressive mob of noise and feathers.

"H-hey! What's the big idea? What'd he do?" Vanellope waved the tin around in an attempt to scare off the ducks.

"They--ow!--aren't awfully fond of me--ouch!--for some reason! I think they're --aah!--programmed to attack me on sight! Felix struggled to be heard over the deafening quacks and stinging bites.

His screams and the swinging pie tin did nothing to discourage the winged tormentors, and every time he flailed an arm in their direction, it seemed like five more ducks would flock to it. He clutched the can of sauce to his chest, desperate to keep the ducks away from it. Within minutes, the handyman resembled a frightened heap of feathery anguish.

“What makes them go away?!”

“They don’t leave--yeow!--until they’re good and ready!”

Suddenly, three gunshots rang out above their heads and the ducks released Felix, milling around in confusion. Ralph and Tamora came running through the opening, the latter waving her arms and yelling threateningly. 

“HEY! Leave him alone! It’s not too late to cook your giblets too!”

With the same frenzy of wingbeats and quacks, the flock of ducks scattered in every direction, not wanting to take their chances with the furious woman and her giant friend.

"Beady-eyed little nuisances...Here you go." Tamora retrieved Felix's hat, which had fallen off during the rather one-sided fight, and brushed the dust off her husband, doting on him a bit. "You hurt?"

Groaning, Felix slowly pulled himself to his feet, with Tamora’s help.

"Thank you, puddin'." He took the hat and replaced it on his head. "I'm--ah!--okay. A little sore, but nothing the ol' hammer can't fix." He winced at the bruises on his arms. "Luckily they didn't get to the sauce."

“Hoo boy, brother, that was ugly. Glad you’re in one piece,” the wrecker sighed, relieved, running a hand through his hair.

“I’m sorry Felix! I thought maybe the pie’d calm them down!” The tiny president glitched with concern.

Ralph scooped her up in one hand. "Vanellope, I told you those ducks are unpredictable," he scolded.

"You didn’t tell me they hated Hammertime so much!"

"Well, at least we can mark 'front lawn brawl' on the Thanksgiving Bingo this year,” Tamora deadpanned, and pushed Felix’s hat down over his face, making him blush. “C’mon, let’s finish the dinner prep already.”

“And Vanny?” Felix righted his hat and turned to the child, still seated in Ralph’s hand.

“Yeah?”

“Let’s both hold off on the pie for now.”

Copypastas You don’t have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off. And while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the baby’s soft cartilage head into something a little more modern. It might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but let’s see where the dog is going with this. somebody once trolled me, successfully rickroll’d me im not the sharpest n00b in the thread… just took another one of my signature “dust baths” it’s like a regular bath only i roll around in a bunch of dust and sand and start screaming when it gets in my mouth and eyes. anyway don’t trust the government Oh, purple-moustached clever Waluigi.

According to the science side, “The average skeleton fights in war for 31 days” very factoid, much statistical error. The average skeleton fights in war for 0 days.

You’ll never see the last meme of 2014 the way Garcia Lopez de Cardenas saw it, but that’s none of my business. Anyway, here’s Wonderwall. [Muffled Flappy Bird Music Plays in the Distance] neopets is honestly a horrifying and disturbing look into the faults of late capitalism and the unfettered exploitation inevitable in unregulated economic systems like first you have the ridiculous inflation rate caused by the ease of which you can generate new neopoints. it’s like the post-WWI germany thing—if you keep printing money, it loses its value. similarly, as people play games, play habitarium, use the stock market, (basically any way of earning neopoints that doesn’t involve rsing from the NPC shops) they’re not actually exchanging currency cyclically like economies rely on—they’re just making it out of thin air. 10,000 neopoints today was 1,000 neopoints a few years ago. even avatar items that have been around for a while have soared from 300k to 3 mil. inflation is further worsened by a few things. one is that there are very few neopoint sinks (only notable examples are the main shops, wishing well, paid dailies, and slots) and only ONE that works even remotely efficiently. they had the save the wheels neopoint sink a few years ago to try to combat the problem, which only fucked things up worse. in order to incite people to sink their neopoints, they offered prizes to people who donated a lot. but the prizes themselves, both during the event and after, just encouraged people to generate more neopoints to donate and get prizes. it’s also awful because kids don’t play neopets anymore. in a capitalist system there’s always relative poverty, but the poor are disappearing. do you want to play a game where anything worth doing costs more than you could ever dream of earning? how is an 8 year old going to learn how to restock draik eggs? poverty in neopia is earning, like, 33k a day, and richness is incomprehensibly huge. we’re talking billions, trillions. wealth disparity is huge with no regulatory system helping out the lowest tier, and the rich get richer with bigger interest, bigger stocks, and more wiggle room with auction sniping the supply/demand is so integral to everything you do, buy, or take part in. you have things like codestones that generally stay constant (in the 3-7k range, with some inflating 20-40% around war time when people are training more because hello demand!) and things like junk items that you think could NEVER inflate because the supply is so high suddenly inflating 1,000,000% or more in a day due to a site event. and the staff actually have NO IDEA how to fix it. save the wheels? fucked up. portal plot? hilarious. there are rules against hoarding items just to raise the price, but how do you control that? bread costs less than rotten tomato salads. if you earn 16k a day (about average if you’re casual) it would take you 59 years to save up for a dark faerie wand. hell will eventually be sucked into the vortex of neopets.com and we will all despair and i will be richer than all of you In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion was a highly accomplished Cypriot sculptor. Though skilled at imitating the human form, and well acquainted with it's subtleties, he became disgusted by it when he witnessed the Propoetides prostituting themselves. These women were punished by Venus for their lack of worship with a coarseness of skin and a crudeness of nature, and were then forced into prostitution. Seeing this, Pygmalion the sculptor was repelled and could no longer appreciate women. Seemingly alone, Pygmalion sought to create for himself a perfect, pure, unsullied companion. He used his particular skills to this end: he created a statue bride. What you are about to watch is a mysterious video. It's origin is attributed variously, and almost certainly spuriously, to various abstract artists or surrealists. The truth is that what we are seeing, and what we perceive to be strange and disturbing, is actually beauty to it's creator. Perhaps what we are viewing is the work of a modern Pygmalion. To him, her toneless voice, the paleness of her skin and the comparative vibrancy of her lips may indeed be the very embodiment of a perfect woman... Consider the mind-scape of the creator. In whose mind does this appear beautiful? In whose mind is this pure, near worshipful? Are we missing out on his perspective? Who are we to be afraid or to judge them? He may well love her fully, perhaps more fully than any of us could ever hope to be loved. In the mind of her creator, she is a near goddess; the perfect representation, not just of femininity, but the peak of human potential. A perfectly satisfactory being. How does that kind of unconditional love feel? Well, how does she feel? Fantastic. The "Swing Daddy" of the piano, Artie Antlers was one of the early cabaret characters at Pizza Time Theatre. Artie sang with a deep soulful voice, and his style of music ranged from boogie-woogie, to swing, to early Rock and Roll. He often referred to himself as "moose-ical" and also played up the moose theme by making quotes such as "this Moose is loose". Artie was used in the early 1980s, and was the final culmination of the characters of Elkton John and Glen Camel who were mentioned in the original 1977 PTT Program but never put into production. He was originally announced in 19793, and debuted during the first half of 1980. He originally appeared at three of the earliest Pizza Time Theatre locaions - San Jose (Kooser), Concord, and Sacramento, replacing Dolli Dimples in the Cabaret (then known as the Piano Bar Lounge). Artie Antlers was voiced by Jim Cunningham, a jazz artist whose band "The High Time Octet" had been written up in national papers. Jim was hired by the ad agency of Foote, Cone & Belding and flown from Denton, TX to do the recording at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco. The piano player on the tracks was a man who played for the Pointer Sisters, and the entire recording session happpened over the course of only four days. Artie dressed in a flashy blue tux, and originally had a black nose which was later removed. Mechanically, Artie was identical to Dolli Dimples (minus the breast movement) – the duo can be seen together at the factory here. Shortly after his introduction, Artie required a retrofit for his antlers which were originally made of wood and broke easily. A styrofoam version was created that was more durable and did not break from the characters movements. During the very early 1980s, Artie was used widely on PTT merchandise, appearing in print on items such as calendars and annual reports. He was also featured on items such as the “Chuck E. Cheese Cube” and other redemption items. Despite his prominent exposure and usage, Artie was never given a second showtape - in 1982 when Dolli Dimples was renewed for a second tape, a new character was introduced named B.B. Bubbles instead of new material for Artie. Aspects of Artie Antlers were used in ideas for new retrofits, such as a Davy Crockett style retrofit for Artie, and a lumberjack character retrofit for The King, however neither materialized past the concept art stage. sweetie, you are literally so out of line it’s fucking unbelievable. i could drag you so hard right now but i know you’ll just end up crying. i’ve roasted you before and you know it. chances are you’ll just say i bullied you because you’re gay and have different skin. talk shit get hit, you don’t wanna mess with me kiddo; i’ve got a black belt. i know threats are fucked up but that’s all i’ve been receiving all day, probably from her royal hoodrat olive and all of her nasty friends. but you can gang up on me and make fun of me for being goth all you want. i’ve been hurt a lot. my first boyfriend cheated on me, my dad screams if i forget to do my chores, and there are some days i don’t even want to get out of bed in the mornings. i’m a jaded teenage girl. i’ve been through shit that you wouldn’t even dream of. you think your life is hard? try asking the cutest guy in your grade out in the middle of the cafeteria only to find out he has a fucking girlfriend. you don’t know my life or my story so keep my name out of your nasty mouth. life is a battlefield and it looks like i’ve already won. i’m a jaded teenage girl👸. i’ve been through shit💩that you wouldn’t even dream☁️🌜 of. you think💭 your life is hard?😁😣👿 try asking💬❓ the cutest😙😻 guy👱in your grade👦👱👧👩👸👲 out in the middle of the cafeteria🍔🍟🍕 only to find out😨 he has a fucking girlfriend👫💏💔. you don’t👎 know my life or my story📖📚 so keep my name👸 out of your nasty mouth👅💩. life is a battlefield💣🔫🔪 and it looks👀 like i’ve already won👌 👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 good shit go౦ԁ sHit👌 thats ✔ some good👌👌shit right👌👌th 👌 ere👌👌👌 right✔there ✔✔if i do ƽaү so my selｆ 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ💯 👌👌 👌НO0ОଠＯOOＯOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌Good shit I AM GAY!

SpongeBob knocks on it. Every time he does it closes. He opens it himself. Patrick is cleaning frantically. He featherdusts SpongeBob] Patrick: NEED...FURNITURE! [makes a lamp post model out of the sand; he then makes a sand drawer, television, stool, and a couch. The whole time he is still frantically mumbling] SpongeBob: Patrick, what's with the home improvement? [Patrick barks like a dog and continues to clean]Hey, Patrick! Patrick: Oooooooh, sweep sweep!! SpongeBob: Patrick, I came over to see if you wanted to go jellyfishing. But I can see you're busy having an episode. Patrick: [Stops cleaning. his face turns mad] You know something, SpongeBob? It's just all fun and games for you. Nothing really matters. [imitates SpongeBob] "Oh, let's go jellyfishing! We don't have any work to do! Life is just a big bowl of fancy assorted cashews, and nobody has anything to dust or to clean or to wipe! Or fabricate!!!" SpongeBob: But, Patrick, the only thing I've ever seen you clean is your plate. Patrick: [Patrick snaps out of being angry and starts crying] I don't know what to do, SpongeBob. You gotta to help me! SpongeBob: [gasps] Patrick! You forgot how to eat again! Come on, we'll get the funnel. Patrick: No, it's not that, SpongeBob; it's worse. SpongeBob: Darn, I like the funnel. Well, what is it, then? Patrick: Look! [Takes out a rolled-up piece of paper from his belly button] SpongeBob: Hey, a note! [A sixteenth note is shown] Patrick: Yeah, but turn it over, there's a letter! [The letter B is shown] SpongeBob: You're right! Patrick: And, I got this message from my parents! [Hands out a smaller letter] SpongeBob: Your parents? [Reads the note out loud] "Dear Patrick, your mom and I are coming out tomorrow for Starfish Day. Please try to remember, but don't try too hard, or you'll hurt yourself like last time. Love, Daddy". Patrick: SpongeBob, my parents think I'm dumber than a sack of diapers. SpongeBob: No, they don't, Patrick. Parents just like to push your buttons. Like this! [pushes Patrick's nipples and his eyes elongate]Nauuugh! Patrick: [Laughing] That always cheers me up. [His eyes go back to normal] But not today. SpongeBob: Patrick, if your parents think you're dumb, then they must not know what dumb really is. Patrick: But don't they watch television? SpongeBob: That's what I'm saying, Pat! If your parents got to meet a real dummy, they'd realize what a genius you really are! Patrick: But don't geniuses live in a lamp? And besides, we don't know any dumb people. SpongeBob: Don't worry, Patrick! I'll be the dummy! When your parents see how dumb I act, they'll think you're the smartest guy ever! Patrick: Math is power! [Bubble transition to the next day. Patrick is in front of his mirror] Patrick: A, B, C, D, E, F, G... [Doorbell rings] Oh! H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O...! Janet: Should I get the bullhorn again, Marty? Patrick: W, X, Y and Z! [Marty doesn't realize the door has been opened and knocks on Patrick's head] Hi Mom, Hi Dad. Marty: Son! You recognized us this time! Patrick: Why wouldn't I recognize my own parents? Marty: You never were a bright one. [Patrick groans. Marty laughs] Well, aren't you gonna show us inside? Janet: He probably forgot where it is. Patrick: Well I know where it... Marty: Oh, let me lead the way so we don't get lost. [Patrick, Marty and Janet hold hands] Huh? Hold hands now! [Inside the house] Ok, we're almost there! Let go on three. One...two...three! [Marty and Janet let go of Patrick's hands on three] Janet: Good job! Marty and Janet: Pats for Patrick! [Both laugh as Patrick looks annoyed] Patrick: I'll go get the beverages. [Patrick leaves, then comes back with a tray with three drinks on it] Marty: Wow, son! You put the drinks in something this time! Ah, son, you must've been working all night to put these together for us. Janet and Marty: We love you! [Both kiss Patrick as he looks even more annoyed and groans] Patrick: [Doorbell rings] Hooray, the idiot's here! I mean, I'll get it! [Outside, SpongeBob is putting on his karate helmet] SpongeBob: Protective helmet, check. Gary: Meow. SpongeBob: I'm supposed to look stupid, Gary! Gary: Meow? [Goes back to SpongeBob's house] SpongeBob: What could go wrong? [Patrick's rock opens] Patrick: What a surprise! SpongeBob: Hi. Patrick: Mom, Dad, meet my neighbor, SpongeBob! SpongeBob: Hi. Marty: Hello there! Janet: How do you do? SpongeBob: Hi. [Walks to Patrick's parents] Marty: Put 'er there. [SpongeBob puts a doll on his hand] Doll: Mama! Mama! Patrick: He means "shake". [SpongeBob shakes his entire body]No, SpongeBob, no! Shake hands! [SpongeBob shakes both his hands]No, SpongeBob! Grab my dad's hand. [Puts both his hands and his left leg on Marty's hand] Grab it with only one hand! [Puts his left leg and hand down] Good boy! Now move your arm up and down! [He moves his shoulder up and down. Patrick giggles] Janet: So, SpongeBob. Do you live nearby? SpongeBob: Hi. Patrick: No, SpongeBob. Show them your house! [SpongeBob pulls up his pants and reveals a blouse]No, not your blouse! Your house! [SpongeBob screams and runs over to his house. He runs into the shell and gets stuck] Janet: He lives in a fruit? Marty: That's unhealthy. Patrick: [Giggling] Hey, SpongeBob! You wanna stay for dinner? [SpongeBob babbles like an idiot. Later, Patrick, Marty and Janet are watching television while eating TV dinners] Marty: Does he always do that after he eats? Patrick: Only on Wednesday. [Pan over to SpongeBob pushing his nose to reveal his underwear. When he lets go, his pants pull up by themselves. This is repeated a few times. SpongeBob makes an alarm sound after that. Patrick giggles] Marty: [Starts giggling with Patrick]Uh, Patrick, I think your friend might be broken. Patrick: Yeah. And it would take more than some masking tape to fix that guy. [SpongeBob balances on his nose while making a fire truck siren sound. Makes other various sounds] Marty: Whoa! Is he gonna be okay? Patrick: Oh, that's nothing. [Dolphin chirping] You should see him in the morning prancing around yelling "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm rea!" [Rooster crows] He drives all the neighbors crazy! [Horn] Why, just the other day, our neighbor Squidward was--- [SpongeBob jumps backwards over Patrick, Janet and Marty while making an elephant trumpet sound, then he crashes on the floor]. ---was really no help for him. [SpongeBob makes imprints of himself on the walls while making horn sounds] I mean, look at the way he's dressed. Only somebody with holes drilled in their head would wear that stuff! And how about his shape! I mean, I've heard of barrel-chested, but never box-chested! [Janet, Marty and Patrick laugh. SpongeBob frowns]Hey, SpongeBob do you have any mascara I could borrow? [Makes his eyebrows sound like elastic rubber bands] Marty: [Chuckles] The boy wears make-up? Janet: What a card! [Everyone laughs, except SpongeBob, who's now very annoyed] SpongeBob: [Confused] Hey, Patrick! Patrick! Patrick: Aw, he said my name. Marty: Wow, how'd you train him to do that? [SpongeBob is mad. He bites Patrick's finger] Patrick: Ow! He bit me! SpongeBob: Patrick, meet me in the kitchen! Patrick: Oh, I guess the dummy wants to have a private conversation. [Janet and Marty laugh] A dumb one! [They laugh again, as SpongeBob and Patrick enter the kitchen] So, what's on your mind? Oh, wait, I already know the answer. Nothing! [Patrick laughs very hard] See, that's funny. 'Cause your dumb! SpongeBob: Patrick, could you let up on the insults just a little bit? Patrick: Oh, were those too complicated for you? I'll try dumbing them down a bit. SpongeBob: Patrick, I get the feeling that you think I really am dumb! [glances at Patrick's t-shirt, "I'M WITH THE DUMMY" with an arrow pointing towards SpongeBob] Patrick: That's just what I'd expect you to say. Dumb people are always blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. [Patrick drools] SpongeBob: I'm only pretending to be dumb! It was our plan, remember! Patrick: Oh, SpongeBob, if only you could see how stupid you sound right now, with your talk of imaginary plans. Tell you what. You've caught me at a good mood. I'll humor you. Go on, go out there and act "smart" for everyone. SpongeBob: Ok, I will! [Takes off his helmet] Patrick: [Puts on helmet] And don't worry, I'll keep this warm for ya! SpongeBob: [In front of Janet and Marty, clears throat] I have a confession to make. I lied about being stupid. I just acted like a fool so you would appreciate Patrick a little bit more. I know how to talk, and eat, and do laundry. I even separate the darks from the lights. So what do you say we start over and try again? Hi! My name is SpongeBob SquarePants. And I am not a dummy. Marty: [laughs] Amazing! Three minutes in the kitchen and our son has taught him to talk in complete sentences. Oh, good work, son! Patrick: It wasn't easy, dad. SpongeBob: [sputtering] But... but, but, but, but, but, but... Janet: It looks like it's time for your next lesson, young man! SpongeBob: Now, listen to me! I'm not dumb! I have a brain! See, here's a picture of it! [He shows them a small picture of his brain] Patrick: That must be actual size. [All laugh] SpongeBob: No! It's normal size and fully functional, watch. [Writes on Patrick's chalkboard] 2 plus 2 equals 4. Marty: Hoho, son! You taught him math too! SpongeBob:Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Marty: And you taught him to sing! [SpongeBob is blabbering and sputtering] Oh, now he's short-circuiting! You must have taught him a little too much. [SpongeBob imagines them all laughing hard. Marty and Janet look at each other and laugh; then they all do the can-can. He imagines the three popping out of SpongeBob's pores. SpongeBob is inside Janet, who is laughing, inside Marty, who is also laughing, inside Patrick, who is also laughing, inside his eye. SpongeBob screams and runs through the wall outside, running all the way back home] Marty: You know, son, I've always known that when it comes to brightness, well, you're about a three-watt. But this guy! He's a wet match in a dark cave. He makes phone operators seem smart! [clears his throat] But more importantly, son, he's shown me what a sharp, quick-witted boy you've become. [Hugs him] Ha! I feel like I'm really meeting you for the first time. Isn't that right, Janet? Janet: You bet, Marty! Patrick: [His eyes widen] Janet? Marty? Who are you people?! Janet: Marty! I'm scared! [Doorbell rings, then the rock opens up. Squidward, Herb and Margie are outside his rock] Squidward: Excuse me. Does this lovely couple belong to you? They've been standing outside my house saying "Where's Patrick?" all day! It's driving me nuts! Patrick: Mom! Dad! Herb: Wow, son! You actually recognized us this time. Margie: And you remembered to get dressed today! [Patrick, Herb and Margie laugh] Marty: Oh, that's right, honey. We don't have a son. Janet: Oh yeah! [Both walk away. Patrick and his parents laugh as their rock closes over them] 👀👀👍👍👍👀👀 nice 👌👌stuff 👀👀👀 ✔️thats some ™™™ nice 👨🏻 stuff 👨🏻👨🏻 ® (cool ) 👌👌👌👌👌 niiiiiiiiiii👌ce 👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌 stuff that is some nice ✔️ass✔️stuff👀 ya got there ✔️ congrats 🎉 on the nice👍👍👍STUFF👍👍👌✔️👀✔️👀 👍👍 👀✔️™ nice 👌 shut the FUCK up 👎👀👎👀👎👀👎👀👎👀 bull SHIT bülł sHit 👎 thats 🚫 some bull shit👎👎 right👎👎th 👎ere👎👎👎right🚫there 🚫🚫if i do say so my self❌ i say so❌ thats fucking horrible right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ fucking ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) UGHHHHH❌ 👎👎 👎B0ОଠＯOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👎👎👎 👎 ❌ 👎 👀 👀 👀 👎👎BAD SHIT DO IT, just DO IT!

Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere Guy Fieri shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” Guy was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, Guy Fieri and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.

Amen Ave Nex Alea; War is the way of Man; Man is the means of war; the Murder/k/ube allows us war; our worship is our readiness. Saluto Nex Alea. You know who/what is “on fleek?” Jesus. My Savior. My Love. My Ultimate Hero. Jesus is on fleek. The Catholic Church is on fleek. It is on point. It points us to our True North – Heaven – Jesus. Our Blessed Mother is on fleek. She is on point. Her ultimate job is to bring us to her Son – Our Savior – Our Love – Our Ultimate Hero. Thinking of the slang, “on fleek,” I started to think about as a working Catholic wife and mom, what things are on fleek in my life. I came up with a top 5: 1. Father. Son. Holy Spirit. They are on fleek. 2. My Family. So extremely grateful to be the wife and mom in my family. Straight up on point. 3. My job. Even with some of the difficulties I have balancing it with being a momma, I am extremely GRATEFUL to the Lord that He has entrusted me with this responsibility. Definitely leading to my holiness – so, yes, on fleek. 4. The faith community to which we belong. First, the Catholic faith in general – 2000 years old. So on fleek. Then, the particular parish we belong to – St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Brusly, Louisiana. It’s a small little Cajun town right outside of Baton Rouge. The people are real, filled with love, and completely community centered. On Fleek. 5. The Saints. Those who have gone before us, filled with the Holy Spirit, the faith, and an incredibly awesome love of Christ and His precepts. They are like my “on fleek” gang of intercessors! On point, on point, on point. Мы начинаем наше космическое путешествие в те времена, когда трава была зеленее и музыка прекраснее, когда еще не было плохой музыки, дабы вернуть давно утерянную формулу хорошей музыки. Рассекая пространство и время, мы слышим звуки божественной музыки, в которой каждая нота находится на своем месте. Кажется нечто подобное испытывают люди когда слушают альбомы Sigur Ros, некое блаженное чувтсво. Это состояние невозможно описать, трудно уловить и легко потерять, но удивительно, на всем протяжении нашего путешествия оно все усиливается и усиливается. В окне иллюминатора пролетают все самые значимые музыкальные и исторические вехи в истории. Важна уже не конечная точка прибытия, а само путешествие, потому что стремление - вот самое главное в нашей жизни, достигнув определенной точки нам обязательно захочется продолжить путешествие дальше. Честно говоря я уже не знаю где мы находимся, достигли мы того самого места? И где это место? Скорее всего мы улетели намного дальше, за пределы пространства времени. Неужели мы так и не нашли формулы? неужели все напрасно? Наше путешествие - вот та самая формула, точнее одна из ее композиций, собранная из обрывков воспоминаний. Вычислить ее невозможно, но нам крупно повезло и мы стали редкими счастливчиками которым открылась одна из идеальных музыкальных композиций. Сможем ли мы когда-нибудь повторить это путешествие… возможно не с��оро, но когда-нибудь обязательно, а пока нужно вернуться на землю и передать человечеству данные собранные нашими датчиками. Мы не настолько умны чтобы из полученных данных вычислить формулу, но зато у нас появилась одна из композиций сгенерированных этой идеальной формулой. Так правильно, ведь если бы человечество обладало “ключем” ни к чему хорошему это не привело бы. My baby he don't talk sweet, He ain't got much to say But he loves me loves me loves me, I know that he loves me anyway And maybe he don't dress fine, But I don't really mind 'Cause every time he pulls me near, I just want to cheer Let's hear it for the boy Let's give the boy a hand Let's hear it for my baby, You know you gotta understand Oh, maybe he's no Romeo, But he's my lovin' one man show Whoa whoa whoa whoa Let's hear it for the boy My baby may not be rich, He's watchin' every dime But he loves me loves me loves me, We always have a real good time And maybe he sings off key, But that's alright by me, yeah 'Cause what he does he does so well, Makes me wanna yell Let's hear it for the boy Oh, let's give the boy a hand Let's hear it for my baby, You know you gotta understand Oh, maybe he's no Romeo, But he's my lovin' one man show Whoa whoa whoa whoa Let's hear it for the boy 'Cause every time he pulls me near, I just want to cheer Let's hear it for the boy Oh, let's give the boy a hand Let's hear it for my baby, You know you gotta understand Oh, maybe he's no Romeo, But he's my lovin' one man show Whoa whoa whoa whoa Let's hear it for the boy Let's hear it for my man (Let's hear it for my babe) Let's hear it my man (Let's hear it for the boy) (Let's hear it for my babe) (Let's hear it for the boy) Let's hear it for my man (Let's hear it for my babe) (Let's hear it for the boy) Pull yourself together (Let's hear it for my babe) (Let's hear it for the boy) Whoa let's hear it for my boy (Let's hear it for my babe) Let's hear it for my man (Let's hear it for the boy) (Let's hear it for my babe) Let's it for my man There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the bible like a preacher Full of ecstacy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar In all affairs of state he was the man to please But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze For the queen he was no wheeler dealer Though she'd heard the things he'd done She believed he was a holy healer Who would heal her son RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on [Spoken:] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power became known to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder. "This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please" No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame "Come to visit us" they kept demanding And he really came RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen They put some poison into his wine RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine He drank it all and he said "I feel fine" RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen They didn't quit, they wanted his head RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine And so they shot him till he was dead [Spoken:] Oh, those Russians... I had this friend who used to brag to us all the time that he could catch his cum in his mouth without fail every time he masturbated. He actually wrote down how many times he successfully did it. 327. I’ll never forget that number. And every day at school, he would talk about this. It was always during lunch my sophomore year of high school, too..so it was extremely unnecessary. He used to always try to demonstrate his techniques with packets of mayonnaise but we’d always threaten to move tables so he’d stop. He was really one of those people who needed attention constantly. Aside from those times at lunch, he was a completely normal dude. Like…even after class we’d ask him about that stuff and be like “dude, what was with that cum stuff at lunch,” and he’d always look at us like we were crazy and say “what the hell are you talking about?” I’ll never forget that classmate. His great personality will always be remember but his perplexing obsession with catching his own ejaculate in his mouth will live on forever at my previous high school. He was a one of a kind guy. His name was Norman Reedus. Don't u ever ever fucken send me any thing like this again. U r so ignored. U will be so sorry one day. But u don't even know it yet. That pride of yours u think u know everything but u know shit. Your have really pissed me off. One day u will say. Wow Mom was right but it will be to late for u then. Fucken no all. I will not help u with ur hair or anything else so done ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to throw u out off my property. You r the most disrespectful little bitch I know. Don't ever disrespect my 'Lord' to me again. U and Chris will be able to talk to each other in Hell. Hey nightcore-ers. This is Mod Angel. Recently I have gone through a complete change of lifestyle and want to be referred to Mod Priscilla Valkyrie the Fallen Angel. Anyways, I’ve decided that nightcore isn’t enough so I will also be posting breakcore and dubstep remixes that sound nightcorey Yep. This right here is probably one of the best things I've ever heard. Honestly, it is. Every song i listen to now in my waking moments is nightcore remixes, full albums especially but its hard to find mixes for them all so sometimes i speed things up myself, I admit, because I just really like it so much better when its sped up 3000x. I usually do it in my offtime and it also helps me be more creative and inventive in my musical style as an artist. It really adds something different to the music and makes it so much better. So yeah. That's my two cents as a proud nightcore listener/artist

So….it’s been a bit of a month, hasn’t it? Between work, and making sure that both Older and Younger Son do their school work while sitting on the couch, coming up with interesting things to have for dinner based on how picky everyone is, and a general feeling of panic around every corner, I’m exhausted. Friday I found myself teaching violin. Have I ever played violin? Nope – I played the flute, the fife, and the piano – all equally bad. But times being what they are, we do what we need to do.

And what I need to do right now is see if Hayden Christensen is an actor who just needs a better script and a better director to turn in a good performance, or if he is just a plank of wood with blue eyes. I found this gem on Prime, and just realized it’s an hour and 41 minutes – that’s quite long – but I’m determined to push on. I sat through Revenge of the Sith a few days ago and the forehead acting was seriously painful, but not as bad as the dialogue. We are, instead, going to watch Little Italy, which is basically Romeo & Juliet with pizza. (There WAS a Hallmark version of this a while ago, but this one isn’t it.  If anyone cares, THIS was it)  AND I’m watching this while Older Son is practicing his trumpet.

HC in Revenge of the Sith – you can see the beginning of the forehead acting right here!

This movie also stars Emma Roberts and Alyssa Milano, and is set in, you guessed it, Little Italy, which honestly really doesn’t look like the Little Italy I know about in Manhattan. There’s a joint narration of both our lead actors, while they have a “we were kids” background. Their fathers were best friends running the “best” pizza joint in the neighborhood. Alyssa Milano is Emma Roberts’ mom, and Danny Aiello is Hayden’s grandfather.Emma’s family has the sauce, and Hayden’s family has the sauce. Emma’s character is named Nicky, and Hayden’s is named – um, not sure yet. Anyway, it’s idyllic, and they are up for “Best Pizza” at the San Gennaro festival (which seems to be the only Italian festival in NYC).

Flash Forward to LONDON – Nicky works as a chef under Jane Seymour – who is described as a prettier, scarier, Gordon Ramsey. Nicky has a chance to win a job at a Mayfair Fast Casual restaurant, but in order to do so, she has to go home, and redo her visa. And Jane Seymour drops a bomb – she has to go back to CANADA – so this whole Little Italy takes place in Toronto? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

Hayden’s character is named Leo – and he stayed home in FREAKING CANADA, and we find out that the two families have fought since the flashback – and now there are 2 pizza places next to each other, and they are feuding, feuding, feuding. Leo is telling his dad they have to modernize, and it’s like he told his Italian dad to put English cheddar on the pizza.  Both pizza joints have Indian co-workers, whom you KNOW will get together at the end. So far, HC is … okay. He’s very loose in the role, which is nice after being so uptight as future Darth Vadar, but he’s not setting the world on fire – that being said, this is a movie about a pizzeria. Do you really want that to be set on fire? True story, in my hometown, the owners of the “posh” Italian restaurant that was next store to the only pizzeria in town blew up their restaurant in the 80s for the insurance money, thereby robbing a small NJ town of pizza for almost a year.

Nicky comes home from London in a big hat. They head to the bar where Leo works. Their eyes meet and music starts, but you know they’re gonna hate flirt till they kiss. And after 2 shots, Leo challenges Nicky to a soccer match. Nicky has two very thirsty female friends who are mildly inappropriate for a movie what both Older and Younger Son have decided to watch with me. But now they’re playing soccer in the rain, and doing shot when either of them miss. It’s in slow motion, and there are a lot of spectators who don’t seem to mind to be watching in the rain until there’s thunder, which is good, because Leo goes in for the kiss, and then Nicky passes out.

I cry foul that the first male butt we see in this movie is Leo’s pal Luigi, a large Chinese guy who acts Italian. Nicky wakes up in Leo’s bed, and thinks she had sex with Leo, but no, Leo was a gentleman.

Both mothers hide wine in the hanging baskets of fake gerber daisies that separate the two pizzerias.

Nicky hasn’t told her family she’s only home for a visit, and not to stay. Her family immediately makes her eat pizza. And Nicky’s family did something to the pizza at Leo’s place – marijuana looks like oregano after all. And Leo is getting seriously sexually assaulted by the cops who came to break up the pot party.

Jesus is everyone in this movie hot for each other? Andrea Martin, Nicky’s grandmother, is in love with Danny Aiello, and they just met each other in a confessional at a Catholic church.

Nicky shows up at Leo’s house, just as Lisa, a flight attendant and Leo’s sometime girlfriend. Nicky gets jealous of Lisa, which, seriously girl, you’ve been gone for five years. But even though Lisa is probably naked already in Leo’s apartment, Leo still asks her out for dinner the next night.

At Luigi’s bar, both fathers meet up to insult each other and hate boast about their children. It is SO bad and so dumb. Cut to the old people, who cannot meet up in a confessional anymore, are now sitting in a Starbucks freaking out over a caramel macchiatto.

Cut to Nicky’s parents’ backyard where they are grilling. Alyssa Milano comes in saying she almost forgot the nice cannolis. Dad gives her a kiss and then says, here, take the gum (apparently she’s got bad breath) leave the cannolis. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. I wonder HOW long it took the writers of this to put that in there. And Alyssa Milano’s character has just invited some kind of sleezy Italian stereotype to keep Nicky back in Canada. Ew, stereotype just sniffed her shoe.

She’s at Leo’s house, and he’s making her dinner – yes, it’s pizza – that she just put FIGS on top of. WHAT? He lives in a dive apartment that has a pizza oven. They are flirt pizza baking. I’ve been really comfort baking these past few weeks – today I made a lemon drizzle cake and a loaf of Italian bread. But apparently this pizza is good, even with freaking figs on it.

Andrea Martin is back at church in front of a very jankety statue of Our Lady. And Danny Aiello is totally proposing to her right in front of the statue, and even though Andrea Martin looks at him with heart eyes, she says no.

Leo has a rooftop garden that is populated with lamps.

He has a desire to open an organic pizzeria. Seems weird. Now they are dancing across from each other and I do not get it, but they are so in love with each other, you guys, it’s amazing that it’s taken this long for Nicky to say “I should go.”

Poor Andrea Martin, squeezing tomatoes and pining for Danny Aiello. Danny Aiello is giving love advice to Leo, while Leo cooks his revolting fig pizza. And Danny Aiello just said “You can take the girl out of Little Italy, but you can’t take Little Italy out of the girl.” WRITERS – I’m staring at you disapprovingly over the tops of my glasses right now.

Everyone freaks out over figs on pizza, and yet Hawaiian pizza is totally being made fun of.

Andrea Martin is back at the Starbucks and she’s had like 8 caramel macchiattos. She’s trying to drown her sorrows in coffee, and Danny Aiello shows up and seems to be quoting John Lennon or something to get back in her good graces, by stating that he wants a home for the two of them where they can watch The Bachelor in bed together. Regardless of how dumb that sounds – because the true test of marriage is watching Dateline and then finding out what happened at the end because your husband stayed up to watch it while you dozed off – they love each other and get engaged.

Leo climbs a ladder to deliver pizza to Nicky in her bedroom. It’s a heart shaped pizza. Next day, they both jump on a vespa and go riding through the San Gennaro festival, eating gelato and exploding eggplant with firecrackers. They also rode through a fire hydrant and now they are back in Leo’s apartment all “I gotta get out of these wet clothes” and now we’re in for a sex montage because ha, this is NOT your friendly Hallmark movie, it’s on Prime. 

Oh, wait, it’s not a montage, it’s a fade to black, and then fade in on Andrea Martin and Danny Aiello. That’s not upsetting.

Jane Seymour FaceTimes in the afterglow, reminding Nicky that she needs to do her job, and asking her if she’s been “shagging” and if there is a penis more pressing than her restaurant in Mayfair, and quite honestly, that’s funny.

Leo doesn’t know she isn’t back to stay, and she casts it up to him that he’s had a lot of girlfriends in the past five years, and she’s now going HARD into The Sad Times. Let’s see what Leo does in his own Sad Times, because I really hope we don’t get a return of forehead acting.

Old people arrange a family dinner at “Korma Sutra – a Sensual Italian Restaurant” (with a bunch of Indian carvings on the wall) where both the Montagues and Capulets sit down for a curry and they announce that Andrea Martin and Danny Aiello are seeing each other. And the tired feuding old men get freaked out, and it comes down to letting the “Best Pizza” contest in the San Gennaro festival decide who has the Best Pizza, and whoever doesn’t have the best pizza has to leave. But because tired feuding old men aren’t allowed in the contest anymore, they have to have Leo and Nicky enter instead. And Nicky says, “I’m a chef, I don’t do pizza.”

Because that’s not insulting to her entire family. But then it gets more insulting and Nicky is way more into The Sad Times.

Leo confronts his best friend Luigi about the fact that he’s really Chinese, because Luigi is his Sassy Friend who tells Leo that he’s in love with Nicky – and then we find out that Luigi is gay, so he’s extra Sassy.

This movie is taking way too long.

Pizza Competition Time. round One – they have 10 minutes to make pizza. Leo is making proccioto and melon pizza, and who knows what Chef Nicky made. But of course, they both make it to the finals, where they have to make a Pizza Margharita.  Nicky is rolling the pizza dough with a pin. I feel like that’s wrong.

The winner is Leo, because of course it is, and because we know that Nicky switched the sauces underneath the table. And then Leo makes a statement about the whole thing, but Nicky misses it because she already took a taxi to the airport. But Leo hightails it to the airport in a Vespa (which he leaves at the front entrance of the airport in clear violation of all those 9-11 rules).

But Nicky keeps getting stuck in the metal detector – just in time for Leo to make a heartfelt declaration to her from the steps overlooking the security line.

AWWWW Gay Luigi just had a meet cute with the gay Security Guard! Sassy Friends DO find love! We also discover the source of the feud (and it’s dumb) and then everyone realizes they’re being supremely dumb, and then the Angry Security Lady takes back control from these weirdos and starts moving people through the line again.

Everyone is happy and in love, and flash forward to a new restaurant owned by Leo and Nicky – it’s the wedding reception of Andrea Martin and Danny Aiello, and Gay Luigi caught the bouquet. Jane Seymour shows up and loves the pizza and wants to franchise, and the Indian sous chefs get to dance with each other, and everyone loves each other and east dessert pizza. The end.

Ok. I’ve seen this movie before in the Hallmark version, and although that one was probably filmed in Canada, it did pretend to be the US. Looking at all this pizza, now I want pizza, but we’re having lemon pepper chicken with angel hair pasta tonight. I wonder how good Canadian pizza actually is – I’m spoiled by living in NJ, where the best pizza in the US is (shut up Chicago, that is NOT pizza).

Did we answer the question : Is Hayden Christensen a good actor or not? – I think so. I think he’s … not bad. He needs a lot more help than he was EVER given in the Star Wars Prequels, and it helps when he’s not saying corny-ass dialogue like “I can overthrow the chancellor.” There was very little forehead acting in this, although a lot of forehead wrinkling, making me believe he’s a lot older than he was playing as Leo. If you’re looking for a good performance of his, go see Shattered Glass.

Was this movie good? Meh. But since we’re stuck in the house, what else are we going to do – especially now that allergy season is here on top of everything else. It was a nice diversion while my bread is baking and keeps me from wondering why my Lemon Drizzle cake didn’t rise that much – unless it’s supposed to be half the size of the loaf pan? Anyway, doesn’t matter. We’ll eat it later. And besides, that’s not the point. The point is, I watched Little Italy, just so you don’t have to.

  Solving the question, did Hayden Christensen deserve the abuse Star Wars generated? All that, plus pizza, Alyssa Milano, Danny Aiello, and Canada. I watched Little Italy, Just So You Don't Have To. So....it's been a bit of a month, hasn't it? Between work, and making sure that both Older and Younger Son do their school work while sitting on the couch, coming up with interesting things to have for dinner based on how picky everyone is, and a general feeling of panic around every corner, I'm exhausted.
