Here Lies the Abyss

Evan Snow "How do you cry with inanimate eyes?You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired..."

It was definitely one of the dumbest purchases Angelo had ever made. While out shopping, he’d, for some strange reason, thrown it in his basket, and now he was sitting on a bench alone with a cupid’s bow and arrow. Being in a better mood than he normally was, in his mind it was pretty damn hilarious to wait until someone walked past before aiming and shooting the arrow at them. Hiding the arrow behind his back, he raised an eyebrow when they looked over, trying to look the face of innocence. “Hey. What’s up?”

Evan wasn’t paying that much attention to his surroundings so when he felt something hit him he almost yelped, looking around before grabbing the heart shaped arrow off the ground and looking around for who could have shot him. His eyes almost immediately locked on Angelo. “Are you actively trying to kill me now? I thought we were making some huge strides towards brotherhood and then you ambush me. It hurts, Angie, it really does.”

“Yeah but at least they can use it as an excuse to get business and watch it. I-I get that it might not be a big deal to most people. I guess dates just kinda get my hopes up. I can get… Attached, I guess. Don’t really want to do that if you’re engaged…”

“That’s true. And they probably still make money on the sale of drinks and things. But hey, a free lunch is a free lunch. It’s not like we’re getting married? I’m pretty sure he has a boyfriend actually. So I mean who knows really. He can’t even come for free tacos on Valentine’s Day, I don’t know if I want to marry him anyway. Tsk tsk.”

“I don’t see why, either. Long as you’re happy ‘n not hurtin’ anyone else, it all sounds good,” But the world as a whole had never been so simple, so tolerant. Especially not the patch of life Charlie had passed down to himself, no, it was filled with any and everything but tolerance or acceptance when it came to those aspects of himself. Though he wasn’t uncomfortable with the topic, becoming flustered by the comment came all too easy, cheeks rising to a rosey pink and his eyes widened for a brief moment. “Oh, you– Oh wait, you’re probably jokin’, right? Gee-whiz…” He rubbed at the back of his neck, teeth sinking into the flesh of his lip. “So at least more n’ ten? Huh. Guess you’re pretty experienced then,” Which certainly wasn’t a bad thing by any means; quite the opposite, actually. “Well, maybe after we get those tacos, y'can let me know if my uh… technique needs some improvement?”

“My thoughts exactly. We’re both very happy but can also make other people very happy while we’re at it. Best of all possible worlds,” he mused, happy that someone else could see it the way he did. Besides, neither he nor Levi had ever actually taken the engagement all that seriously. The blush made a smirk quirk to his lips as he shrugged. “Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. I guess you’ll just have to find out,” he teased, grinning at the other and even going so far as to wink at him. “Plenty more than ten. I would say experienced is a good word for it.” He raised an eyebrow but quickly chuckled. “Deal. And if you ever decide you could use more practice, I’m usually available.”

“Maybe they just won’t be getting anything for Valentine’s and this is their way of getting… Something? A date, sure. Woah… Engaged… I-I’m sorry, I don’t know if I can really go on a date if you have a fiancee…”

“If you want to watch couples make out with each other on Valentine’s Day you can go pretty much anywhere I would have thought. Oh, relax. It’s really not a big deal. We like to give each other the freedom to do whatever the other wants... and he’s on a date with another guy so why not?”

“Why not? It’s fun. Besides, it usually only takes around a minute of you talking for you to give me a reason so I might as well stay constantly rude. It’s less effort.” She wasn’t sure that made any sense but she was going to go with it anyway as she always did. “You can do whatever you like, I would just rather avoid having anything to do with the holiday. I mean… they’re okay. They wouldn’t be my first choice of free food. I have bad taste in everything, why are you surprised?” The thing with Amalia was that she was completely fine to initiate any insults towards herself but whenever anyone else did it, she got offended very quickly. “We don’t talk about that” she quickly dismissed. “You’re joking right now… surely. You didn’t actually get engaged and tell everyone that you’re getting married… for a joke?” 

“You realize I’ve literally done nothing in this whole conversation other than offer you a way to get free tacos and then been perfectly okay with the fact that you’re not down, right? I know you like making me seem like the bad guy and I usually don’t mind playing the part but honestly... I’ve done nothing.” He just rolled his eyes, shaking his head. “Fair enough. I’d rather have free pizza than free tacos but I’m not about to turn down free tacos. I’m ashamed, I never said I was surprised.” He just laughed, not caring whether his words were taken as insult or not. “Maybe you don’t, but you can’t decide what I do and don’t say to you unfortunately for you.” Raising an eyebrow he just shrugged his shoulders again, even lifting up his arms before clapping them back to his sides. “I mean I might actually marry him if it came to that. He’s cute. But it’s not like we ever really made a good case of it being a serious thing, did we? I’m wearing a twenty-five cent plastic ring he bought outside a grocery store. That didn’t tip you off? For the record he did ask me to marry him and I did say yes so technically we are engaged, that was never a lie.”

“Holy shit,” Charlie’s surprise was hilariously obvious, arms crossed over his chest as he nodded in thought. Growing up, the idea of an open relationship, let alone the idea of being with a guy had been so… foreign. “That sounds pretty wild - in a good way! Like, no jealousy, no heart ache an’ all that shit. So, it’s kissin’ and havin’ sex with other people that’s on the table? I-If ya’ don’t mind me askin’, that is,” He shuffled a bit awkwardly, offering the taller male a gentle, apologetic shrug, “I’m not really that uh, learned on stuff like this. I could probably count off the people I actually kissed on one hand,” 

The outburst had Evan raising an eyebrow a little taken aback before he just shrugged with a laugh. “I don’t see why people are so uptight about it. We have fun and we’re good together but that doesn’t mean we only ever just want each other. It’s on the table, the bed, the couch... anywhere’s fair game really,” he joked, nodding his head. “Why? Are you interested?” he asked, fluttering his eyelashes teasingly at the other guy for a moment. “Wait, wait really? Well everyone has to start somewhere... but I can’t even count the number of people I’ve kissed in this town on... both my hands and maybe even with the help of my toes, and I’m not even from around here. It’s just kissing, that’s not a big deal.”

“Sounds a little strange, yes. Also it doesn’t really make much sense but uh… Sure. That sounds quite nice actually. What’s the ring though, if you don’t mind my asking?”

“Who knows what tacos and kissing really have to do with each other... other than that they’re both just very great. I’m not complaining. In that case, great, it’s a date! Oh, my fiance made other plans. For the record we always had an open relationship so it’s not a big deal.”

“I don’t need a justified reason to yell at you” she decided, lifting her chin slightly. As he went on, Amalia opened her mouth to counter his argument but she quickly realised he was right - she had been the one to reveal that she didn’t have plans which was something she could have avoided if she’d stopped to think. “Oh, whatever. It’s a stupid holiday anyway. And, no, I am not in. Of course I’m not. I’m not even that into tacos and I’m certainly not into the idea of kissing you… so, no” she scolded, glad that she’d quickly stopped herself before adding saying ‘kissing you again’. Her angry expression soon turned to confusion at Evan’s response, her eyes narrowing in on him. “What do you mean ‘sure it is’? You’re just going to agree that your relationship is a joke?”

“Oi, don’t be rude for no reason. If you’re going to be rude, that’s fine but at least have a reason for it,” he said with a shake of his head. When she didn’t deny his words, Evan just chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. “I never said it wasn’t but so are most of them. Doesn’t mean I can’t take advantage of the stupidity. Not that into tacos? The fuck? That whole statement is just a cacophony of bad taste, I’m so ashamed. And it’s not like you haven’t done it before so what’s the harm?” He raised an eyebrow as he looked at her questioningly. “I mean... sure it is. Why wouldn’t I agree? When have you ever known me to do something that wasn’t a joke? What’s your point?”

Text || Marshy

Phoebe: If I read the text before I could even wake up, I totally would have woken up sooo fast! I don't care if that didn't make sense, you get it!

Phoebe: Evan, where am I gonna get pizza this late at night?

Phoebe: Can you make sure to save a nice place for me, too? I could probably bribe him with a nice haircut or something. Surely even the devil wants to look nice every now and then.

Phoebe: I can snuggle but I STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GET PIZZA FROM!!

Evan: Uh huh, sure. I think I've learned just how important my life is to you. I'll just crawl back under here and die.

Evan: Hmmm... I'll think about it. I might put in a good word with the Big S himself if you're nice to me. We'll have to see.

Evan: The pizza place on the corner across from the library is open until three. RUN RUN RUN!!!

A package is sat in front of Evan’s door, with this, this, and a note:

You have always totally NAIL-ed it as my best friend! I just wanted to show my love and appreciation for you and my friendship with you on this super great day. Despite the fact that we are spending all of it together, and that’s really gift enough for you, isn’t it? It should be. This is just a bonus gift because I’m so nice. I hope you have a great day (with me)!

- Phoebe

“He already has plans on Valentine’s Day? That don’t include his fiance?” Phoebe raised an eyebrow, wondering what sort of plans anyone could have without their significant other. She decided not to overthink it, instead focusing on the ring slipping off of Evan’s finger, letting out a breath in almost relief before flashing a gaze of innocence when she realized. “So I don’t eat anything but dessert? That doesn’t sound totally healthy,” she pointed out, “and I wasn’t even thinking that way! For once. Now I am… but it’s Valentine’s Day! If you ever wanted to do anything like that, you’d have to put it in a much…. less gross sounding way, anyway!”

“Yes? Rude of him, isn’t it? Not that I didn’t know he was off banging some other guy... or guys, but still. Tut tut.” Evan’s tone was likely far too casual for the topics he was discussing, easily brushing away the idea that Levi had other things to do and not seeming broken up about it. “Hey, I’m sure there are all kinds of free things to be had for a kiss on Valentine’s you know. Tacos, desserts, pancakes... the world is our oyster. Besides who complains about eating dessert?” He raised an eyebrow at her. “Sure you weren’t. I believe you. What a dirty mind you have. ... oh come on, that would have been the perfect line if it was intentional. They don’t get any more perfect than that.”

“Well now, if ya’ think about it they’re still supportin’ the love - I’ve never loved anything more than free tacos,” His lips quirked into a wry smile, “And gettin’ to kiss a pretty nice lookin’ fella doesn’t hurt at all either. Can’t say I’ve done that in quite a while,” His features seemed to twist in confusion and concern at once, head tilting with a perked brow, “Now, that does change things up a little. I’m not one for kissin’ someone who’s already spoken for, written on paper or not. Not sayin’ I wouldn’t be happy to but, well, I guess it’s really none'a my business what’s got you wantin’ to kiss other people even with a fiance… Y'all havin’ a spat?”

“Free tacos are pretty amazing. A very close second to free pizza I have to say. Really though, I’ll take what I can get.” The answer had Evan grinning, nodding his head. “Much better. Flattery gets you everywhere, including invited out for tacos.” Evan’s response was just to wave his hand dismissively at the concern, shaking his head. “It’s not that big of a deal. He’s off sleeping with someone else half the time so it’s not like a kiss will do much. We’re in a very open relationship. Nah, are you kidding, we never fight. That’s the trick. Let the other person kiss whoever they want whenever and there’s no reason to fight over anything.”

“Huh. Gotta admit, that’s one helluva promotion for Valentine’s. But if it means free tacos, I’m game for just about anythin’. Kinda curious ‘bout that ring though - doesn’t really matter to me if ya’ where it or not, whatever makes you feel comfortable, dude,”

“I know right? I guess they’re trying to be very supportive of love but really all it says to me is that I get very easy free tacos. You get free tacos and a chance to kiss me, tell me that’s not an amazingly good deal. Oh, it’s no big deal. Just a fiance who apparently has more important things to do than help get free tacos on Valentines Day. I should probably take this off occasionally anyway... I think it might be starting to turn my finger green.”

amaliasummers:

“That’s perverted and completely pointless. What the fuck do tacos have to do with valentines day, anyway?” she grumbled, looking and sounding far more annoyed than she should have been. “Definitely not. It’s actually extremely rude of you to just assume I don’t already have plans. And your ring is a joke” she spat out quickly, feeling a strange but very strong sense of annoyance over Evan’s engagement all of a sudden. There was something telling her it was all to do with that strange dream she’d had but she couldn’t quite figure it out. 

“Hey, don’t yell at me, it wasn’t my idea. I’m just banking on taking advantage of the promotion they’ve decided on because tacos and kissing? Two of my favorite things.” Evan just smirked at her with a shrug of his shoulders. “Oh come on, I’m assuming nothing I’m just asking. All you had to do is say ‘no I’ve got plans, fuck off’ but the fact that you didn’t makes me believe that you really don’t have anything better to do. So... you in?” He rolled his eyes. “Sure it is but I don’t see what that has to do with anything.”

ohphoebe:

Phoebe loved love, but she never actually celebrated Valentine’s Day with someone else. She had always been happy to equally spread out her friendly love to all of her friends equally, not caring much about it otherwise. So, she was definitely taken back by Evan’s suggestion, though there was a certain pleasure in seeing him pull the ring off. “You don’t have plans with Levi?” She looked a little too pleased by that, most likely, but she tried to keep an even expression. “Do we also get dessert? Because I don’t like tacos that aren’t Evan specials, but find somewhere that offers free dessert and I’m totally in.”

“I’m pretty sure he said he had plans already which... so rude honestly. He wants to marry me but won’t even support my free taco dreams?” Evan made a face, shaking his head at the idea and not paying attention to her expression as he worked the ring off of his finger. He didn’t think he’d taken it off since Levi put it there so it took a little bit of effort. “Okay, new plan. We go get the free tacos and you let me eat yours and then we can find a place with free dessert,” he suggested, nodding his head enthusiastically before pausing. “And when I say you let me eat your taco for once I meant that without any double meaning or innuendo. Mind out of the gutter Marshy.”

Glancing up from her phone, her drink straw between her lips, Maya made a face. “Free tacos for a kiss? How many tacos per kiss? That’s the most important part,” she went on, before freezing up at his question. She glanced down as he pulled the ring off, not having realized the piece of… plastic until now. “Are you married?” That seemed pretty odd to her, though she had never known Evan too well to begin with. “Why don’t you just go with your… spouse?”

“At least one? Probably two since I doubt they expect you to share a taco. But it didn’t specify so I say it’s the perfect chance to take advantage of the holiday,” he declared happily, nodding his head. The question immediately made Evan scoff as though he hadn’t heard anything so silly in his life. “Married? Me? Please. A very pretty boy did propose to me but he apparently made plans without me on Valentine’s Day. So rude, I know.”

[gdievansnow-blog]

“The local taco place put out a promotion of free tacos for couples willing to kiss in front of them. Does that sound a bit weird and voyeuristic to anyone else? ... but also free tacos. So I think the point I’m trying to make here is: you and me, free taco date on Valentine’s Day. You in? I’ll even take this ring off if that helps. Free taco beats plastic ring any day.”
