coffee break

darlingboyadam:

“Hmm? Oh, I’m fine, sweetheart,” the Darling replied sweetly, waving off the man’s concerns. “Nice contacts, by the way,” he added almost as an afterthought, tapping his own pair of eyes.

Desmond smiled brightly, relieved to hear that Adam was fine, “Oh, good.” His expression went from happy to confused as Adam complimented him on his contacts, "I’m not wearing contacts?“ He chuckled at the thought, "My eyes are just really this color. My sisters’ eyes are green, but I ended up with blue.”

coffee break

“Way. Too. Fucking. Cold.” Adam’s pained hiss was lost in the chiming of the coffee shop’s bell that loudly announced his entrance and so he repeated himself for good measure, as he stomped the snow from his boots and scanned the shop’s occupants, an eager glint evident in his gaze.

Desmond’s head practically spun off his neck as he turned to see who had caused such a scene behind him. Oh, Adam Darling. He knew him mostly from their youth, remembering that Adam had taken ballet while Des had focused on other forms of dance instead. Also, he was pretty sure that Adam’s brother had been hanging around his sister recently. “Are you okay, dude?“ Desmond asked, eyeing the man for any visible injures from the cold.

“But bananas are always a good decision. I like everything else, but man we are not connecting on flavors today”

"In Jell-o, man? No, come on! That's just nonsense. The only thing that’s worse is putting vegetables in. I love salads, but I don't want to eat broccoli in my dessert. I know, right? I hope we don't have to throw a picnic soon.”

“Oh, well if it’ll be your own fault I can live with that,” George grinned, laughing a little bit. They stopped cold at the question and shrugged, blushing a little bit. “It’s a bit of both, really. And thank you, I’d really like to avoid elbowing him if we ever end up dancing.”

"I've been working at the community center since I was a kid" Des informed them with a wink, "We have this." He grinned at their confession, "Unless you're planning to do the Funky Chicken, I think we're good."

Gus + Des: He’s real!

[dancingdesmond-blog]

the-myth-of-gus:

“Stick figure apple?” Gus frowned, trying to picture exactly what that’d look like before giving up and shrugging. He let the fella go on, smiling when the question of food came up. “Got some jerky in there in case I get hungry. You asking because your fall made you hungry?” Gus attempted a joke. “I never worry ‘bout bears. There’s a lot less to fear with them then there is with most people, I find.” Letting out a laugh, imagining someone being attacked by squirrels over some mixed seeds and nuts. “Even though I’ve done some sewing I’m hoping I never have to find out which one’s simpler. Most I’ve ever had to is bind up something like you’re doing right now.”

"Yeah," Des started drawing what a stick figure apple would like into the air, "it's kind of like this..." a couple of air dots, a rounded line on each side, "and this." He scrunched his face at the man's offer, "I'm not really a jerky kind of guy." Des laughed at his attempt of a joke, adding one of his own on top of it, "Not unless I slipped on a banana peel." Rolling his shoulders, he had to disagree with the guy, “I think I'd still rather take my chances with people. I've complained about Winnie the Pooh not wearing pants too many times. Bears don't trust me.” Des nodded, "Right? I’d hate for you to have to test it out."

‘’Oh no, no! God, why does this always happen to me? Please tell me that you’re just joking.’’

[dancingdesmond-blog]

"Normally I’d say yes, but..." Desmond admitted, somewhat reluctantly, "I'm not right now." Even though he had told her truth, he still felt like he had given her the wrong answer. 

[the-backbeat-of-george-blog]

“I just hope none of your broken bones are a result of me.” They had to laugh too, knowing that their dancing skills were badly in need of help. “Sure, ask away,” they nodded, hoping it wasn’t about how they’d gone for so long without learning how to dance.

[dancingdesmond-blog]

"Knowing me, it’ll be my own damn fault.” Des pulled back, removing his hand from their shoulder, "Stop me if this is too personal, but are you learning to dance for yourself? Or is this about someone else?” he asked, right eyebrow arching curiously, “I'm not judging either way, but if it's for someone else then I'm going to have to make sure that you don’t accidentally elbow them.”

Text: Alligator + Des

Des: I have two questions.

Des: 1. Do you think Bec would let us have a beanbag couch?

Des: 2. Would you be willing to help me move it in?

[joanxfaolan-deactivated20170718]

‘’Excuse me, I’m looking for my pati… my friend. He has blond hair and green eyes. Plus, has a small scar on his left cheek. I think I even have his picture in my notebook. I really need to find him and I will appreciate any help.’’

"I think I saw him heading down to the liquor store? I mean, he could have been getting a tattoo, or going to the smoke shop, but I can't read minds."

“I went home cause I ran out of detergent and my little brother is already psyched about Halloween. Did I like lose a month of my life? I didn’t even  realize it was October. God, I gotta stop working so much”

[dancingdesmond-blog]

"Who isn't psyched for Halloween? It's been Halloween since September. I'm trying to narrow down my costume ideas. What's your brother going as?"

[im-elegantly-wasted-blog]

“ I don’t know, man. I think were gonna have to just agree to disagree. Jell-o? Jell-O is aces. Comes in different flavors and is like super fun to eat too, you can’t go wrong. I like the fruit. Depends what kind though”

[dancingdesmond-blog]

."It's refreshing as hell. I don't really like when it has bananas, though. Has a weird texture. Oranges, grapefruit, pears... that's where it's at."

[the-backbeat-of-george-blog]

They gave him a curious look before smiling, giving a small shrug. “Its actually been a long time since I broken a bone. Not since I was little probably.” The way Des approached them seemed cautious, maybe freaking slightly for his own safety. “Immediately, I suppose. If you think it’s really that dire of a situation.”

[dancingdesmond-blog]

"I've broken a couple in the last few years." He looked down at his fingers, having broken his thumb most recently, "Nothing major as of lately, but the years young." Sort of. "Yeah, definitely dire." He teased, patting them on the shoulder as he laughed. "Can I ask you a question first, though? “
