spromeo but romeo does theatre (duh) and red roses are his favorite flower (also duh) so specs brings them to him every time for his opening night and naturally everyone thinks they're dating.

one time after a show, when romeo's getting out of costume one of his castmates walks in the dressing room all like "wow guys i can't believe that went so good you were all great blahblablah also romeo your boyfriend's waiting for you he's got your dumbass flowers that you'll keep in the dressing room for the entire run of the show ever if they're dead and leaving petals all over our shit" and romeo realizes huh wait we are dating!!!! i need to let specs know that we're dating!!!!!!

[general-mahamatra]

SPROMEO SPROMEO SPROMEO SPROMEO SP-

they're quiet

not in a bad way because romeo OBVIOUSLY isnt shy

but they just! don't talk about their relationship!

they're openly gay

like they'll kiss or hug in public

but their conversation is never a topic with other people

and people respect that

but these two! both of them like physical touch, but specs actually leans more towards gift giving

specs LOVES to shower romeo with small gifts

a blanket

a shirt

maybe he bought lunch that day

brought romeo some starbucks

he’d blow his money on ANYTHING for romeo

and romeo loves it

and admittedly, he does take advantage of it sometimes but its more to get small things like a candy bar

because romeo REFUSES to let specs buy him big stuff

even for his birthday or holidays hes just like. NO.

NO BIG STUFF.

NO MORE THAN $50

(specs doesnt listen to that)

but romeo

this man

oh this little little lad

he SMOTHERS specs in little kisses on the cheeks and hugs and just CLINGS to him like a koala 

and its ADORABLE

they love each other so much

just,, BLESS them

All I Wanna Do (Is Get With You)

snaps and hoho were in love, that was a well known fact around brooklyn that spread halfway 'cross new york at this point. after their stubbornness to get together, they haven't gotten off each other.

the brooklyn newsies thought their constant mutual pining was a lot....

snaps bugged hotshot so much sometimes that he sent him to manhattan to rant to his brother buttons instead. buttons pretended to listen just to make him happy.

hoho would annoy spot to the point they would just get up and walk away.

all of them were tired of them then and thought "this will stop when they get together".

no, they just got ten times worse.

"get off of each other already, you two jus' got back from sellin' with each other for hours!" bart whined as he entered the common room of the brooklyn lodging house.

snaps was sat on hoho's lap and they were happily distracted with tangling their fingers through each other's hair and battling with their tongues.

"get a room!" myron laughed from across the room.

snaps groaned, leaning his head back just enough to get an upside-down view of the full room.

"not like we are interrupting you guys or anything! leave us alone...!" he pouted. spot flicked his forehead as they walked by.

"spot acts like they're not all up on elmer five times a week," hoho chuckled, tossing his arms across the top of the couch cushions.

"shut it!" spot threatened, pulling out their pocket knife. but, they were clearly blushing.

"come on hoho we don't need them," snaps crawled off of his boyfriend and pulled him off the couch.

"don't get too crazy," kenny chuckled. this earned him a dirty look from snaps as they were walking out.

they waltzed out the room and went up the stairs to the upmost room where barely any of the newsies slept. so they would definitely be alone. no kenny, myron, bart, hotshot, or bart to make some uptight comment.

hoho pulled snaps in by his waist, snaps immediately snaking his arms around the boys neck. he hovered his lips over hoho's, his hot breath softly grazing over hoho's mouth. when hoho began leaning in for a kiss, snaps spun out of his grasp.

hoho immediately pursed his lips, pouting. snaps had an all too familiar, smug smirk plastered on his face.

"snappy.....!" hoho drew out, whining.

"aw," snaps pretended to empathize, "does hoho want a kiss...?"

"yes, i do!"

"hmmm...okay fine. only because you're cute," snaps giggled and danced back into hoho's arms.

"lovely," hoho whispered.

they both leaned in for the kiss when two fingers were placed on hoho's lips. hoho blinked his eyes open, unamused. his frown was the exact opposite of snaps' mischievous grin.

"i despise you," he muttered against his boyfriend's fingers.

"you love me!" snaps snickered.

"no, i don't."

"awh...come on baby i'm just playing!" he removed his fingers and leaned in for the kiss. this time hoho dodged it. snaps' jaw dropped.

"wow." he deadpanned and began walking away. hoho couldn't keep up the act like his boyfriend could. sometimes he wondered how he did that for so long.

he grabbed snaps' arm and twirled him around then dipped him. "hi angel," he smiled down at him.

"hello." snaps tried his best not to smile back at that irresistible beam that came from the other boy.

"what's wrong?"

"i wanted a kiss," he huffed.

"then get one!"

"nope, you obviously don't want one," he couldn't help the growing smile that appeared in his face.

hoho brought them upright, their lips together but they weren't kissing.

"oh? i dont?" he murmured against his lips.

"maybe."

"how long are you going to be able to keep up the act this time, sweetheart?" he was still talking right against snaps' resistant lips.

snaps let out a small, irritated noise that signaled hoho's victory. snaps' arms were back around his boyfriends neck and found his way into his already messy hair.

one of hoho's hands were resting on the small of snaps' back and the other was gently cupping his cheek.

snaps gave up his act and smashed their lips together, unable to resist any longer.

hoho smiled into the kiss. he didn't think snaps realized he did it so often that hoho had found a way to defeat him. nonetheless, it was adorable. and he loved him for it.

grew up in a really abusive household. alcoholic father and mother left when he was 10. his mother was the only thing he felt safe with until she left without even a goodbye. since then he kept to himself and endured whatever his father did to him without fighting back. he would never speak and didn’t trust a single soul in fear of being left for no reason. that gave him really bad abandonment issues.his father quit his job and that sent snaps out to be a newsie at 11. he set off to brooklyn unlike his brother who went to manhattan. he was immediately taken in by spot and his gang and was welcomed as one of their own. he was too afraid to really talk to anyone but others understood and tired their best to communicate with him. on his first day on the job is where he saw hoho. he was too afraid to talk to him for like a month but something about him drew him in. hoho finally approached him and was the first one to actually make him talk. he started opening up and befriending all of the newsies and felt safe for the first time in years. he and hoho never parted ways and would always be found with each other no matter what. they were inseparable. hoho was the first person snaps was able to tell his past to. snaps has really high functioning adhd and short term memory loss. hes not that much shorter than hoho but looks taller than he is due to his long legs. he is extremely insecure about everything inside and out. he tried to hide himself and always assumes the worst. this effects his every day life. sometimes he’d get really scared of hoho just for the fact that negative thoughts plague his mind (like things like “does he even like me” “he is just pretending” “it’s out of pity” exc) but hoho always knew how to handle these outbursts and always calmed him down. he knew when snaps would get uncomfortable or his mind was running and snaps appreciated hoho for always being there. but on his good days, snaps was huge with teasing and was kind of a pain in the ass. he always had a come back for everything and was the definition of sass.

when it came to coming to terms with his feelings for hoho, he would always be in denial or would doubt that hoho would ever like him the same. they always hung out with each other and cuddled but snaps still would believe it’s platonic because of the insecurity barrier. he never thought he was good enough for anyone or anything. hoho helped distract him from those thoughts most of the time though. but, even after hoho and snaps confessed their feelings, snaps still doubted it was real and ran away from all of it thinking it would fix everything. when he realized that he was only hurting them worse instead of fixing it, the two finally got together. the teasing got worse on snaps end. constantly asking for kisses then rejecting it. he’d either put his hand between their lips, lean in then immediately pretend to be disinterested, or just hover over hoho’s lips and not kiss him. it drove hoho crazy so he would do the same sometimes. snaps would get angry when this happened but it was all for jokes. hoho knew exactly how to get snaps to stop acting.

snaps was pretty smart. he was on top of his class until his father forced him out of school to make money. his eye sight was always pretty bad and used his first earnings as a newsie to buy cheap glasses. this resulted in days of not eating. hoho would split his food with snaps when this happened.

snaps reconnected with his brother, buttons, when he was 15 and they immediately got along really well after the separation. they both helped each other when they need it and tried to see each other three times a week to update each other on everything they possibly could.

snaps was thrown into the refuge once when he was 13. he wasn’t as scared as the other newsies, already having the trauma of damaging abuse. he cited every night he was there, wishing to be back at the lodge with hoho or hotshot or someone else. when he was let out he had a really bad limp after what he endured but was able to recover after a few weeks. after that he managed to become distant from everyone again and wouldn’t even let hoho touch him. but hoho was patient and understanding and helped snaps through this. eventually they got on even better terms with each other than before.

snaps had a tendency to get really attached to things like people animals or objects. once he got attached to a baby bird that fell out of its nest and would not let it go no matter how many times spot told him to take it back to where he found it. he snuck it into bed with him and it was like that until the bird was actually big enough to be noticeable. he cried the whole time he had to let it go but hoho was there to comfort him.

but usually snaps was always there to make the other newsies smile and laugh because of his snarky remarks or jokes that came off a little too harsh. but he felt at home with the brooklyn boys and it was so much better than being stuck in a small apartment with his father.

he loves artists like khai dreams and clairo and all types of indie music. he wrote his own songs and poetry but never told anyone. his soft spot was typically hidden unless it was hoho. though, sometimes he couldn’t even do that with hoho just purely out of fear of seeming weak and worthless (that his father constantly reminded him about). he’d feel really bad after hurting someone’s feelings but never really learned how to say sorry so hed try to get them something special. usually he made little flower crowns for people he cared about. but he managed to form things that weren’t flowers into crowns, like plastic babies or spoons or worn in a string exc. he loved drawing (his favorite is chalk) and was amazing at music theory. he played all types of instruments at a professional level. his favorites to play were the piano and violin. he’d compose songs for his friends and play them for them. he hates reading though. all the letters got jumbled up and it was hard to focus for more than ten minutes. so he typically avoided reading because it stressed him out.
