With the A/C blasting and car started, Tommy tugged at the seatbelt behind him and pulled it across his torso to buckle himself in. He listened to her as she rambled a bit, trying to keep himself calm and level-headed for her. It wasn’t to hard, though. The timbre of her voice was grounding to him.

Tommy let out a soft, breathy laugh at her comment on his car, putting the vehicle in reverse to pull out of the parking lot.

“Gets me from point A to point B,” he nodded.

Though the station was a bit further than he thought it should have been, for convenience sake, it wasn’t a difficult decision for Tommy to want to help her out.

“Yeah, I don’t mind,” he nodded, smiling at her enthusiasm.

Tommy pulled his keys from his pocket and gestured to a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix a few cars away from hers. It used to be a bright red, but since it had been passed down a time or two, the bright paint had dulled significantly.

“As long as you’re ready, let’s go,” Tommy suggested. He began to walk towards his car and motioned for Joyce to follow.

“Bummer,” Tommy shrugged, crossing his arms as he eyed the car. It didn’t seem to him that Joyce would be able to make it to her movie. Too bad the gas stations are all too far away, he thought.

“Oh, wait!” He blurted. “I could run you to a gas station, if you want?”

Tommy lingered behind in the food order line, somewhat looking over the menu but mostly peering out the window at Joyce. Of course, he couldn’t just leave her hanging when he saw her car having troubles.

“Oh my,” he muttered.

Tommy had rushed back out the door of the Dairy Queen to meet Joyce at her car.

“Has it ever done this before?”

@joycethejoyspirit:

“Sorry you caught me on the way out, but I really have to go. I’m late for a movie.” Joyce struggled with pulling the bobby pins out of her hair as she removed her uniform hat. “They’ve opened up the drive-in and I definitely don’t mind seeing Knives Out a third time.”

“Oh, okay,” Tommy replied, how excited smile now distorted into an expression of disappointment.

He had just walked into the Dairy Queen, hoping to see his favorite worker before he went home to get some studying done. Tommy was glad to see her when he walked in, but her rushing out made him almost sad.

His face lit up at her excitement. He rarely had anyone outside of his theater classes show interest in plays or dramas.

“Harvey,” Tommy said, his mouth postured in a soft smile. “It’s fairly well-known.”

He turned back to her at the sound of her beckoning, a look of surprise across his eyes.

“Oh,” Tommy chuckled. “It’s nothing,” he shrugged. “Just my script from a show I’m in for theater.”

“Yeah, uh...” Tommy shifted his gaze to the floor and rubbed the back of his neck.

“I guess I probably shouldn’t be in here, maybe.” He laughed softly as he slowly looked around the restaurant. “I’ll just, uh... I’ll go now,” Tommy nodded as he stepped back around the front counter and pointed to the door.

He exhaled audibly as he relaxed. Ethan was so thankful that he had someone like Lilly that he could be totally transparent with.

Suddenly he sat back up, wiping his eyes with the hem of his shirt sleeve. “We should do something,” he said. “I don’t want to just sit here and wallow in self-pity.”

Tommy had slid behind the counter in just enough time to hold onto Joyce’s arms as he watched her nearly slip.

“Oh, yeah,” he stammered, quickly taking his arms off of her and stepping back carefully enough to miss the spill on the floor.

His cheeks were flushed, but he couldn’t let that stop him from helping her. He grabbed a couple of napkins and tossed them over the spill. It wouldn’t do much, but it was all he knew to do quickly.

Ethan allowed himself to melt into Lilly’s arms, inhaling and exhaling softly as a single tear fell from his eye. He closed his eyes and laid his head on her shoulder, his breath caressing the loose hairs strewn across her neck. Even if this would be their last show together, he knew he still had her.

“Thank you,” he whispered softly, but a quiet sniffle pierced the serenity of the moment.

Hi dere :3

It’s been a hot minute, yeah? Of course, quarantine is bringing me back to tumblr for a bit of writing, so I’m doing a few updates to my blog to get the ball rolling.

If we previously had an active thread together, I am starting fresh, so my tracker will be totally clear. If you wanna write with me again, shoot me a message and let’s get plotting!

Ethan sighed. He was still so upset with the decision to cancel the show. Of course, no one could have predicted this is how things would turn out when school was temporarily suspended.

Nevertheless, he stayed strong for Lilly because he knew how important each show was to her. He wiped away a tear as it fell down her cheek, his hand lingering on her face. He didn’t know what he could say to her to make her feel better, knowing he couldn’t even come to terms with it himself.

Tommy furrowed his brow at the sudden ruckus from inside. He craned his neck to get a better look just as the girl inside, now covered in ice cream, squealed.

A gasp escaped him as he quickly unbuckled and opened his car door to shuffle between it and the window. He ran around to the front of the restaurant and, ignoring the “drive-thru only” signs, threw open the door to get inside.

“Are you alright?” He yelled to her, his breath lost from his sudden, unexpected burst of activity.
