🏒 ˚ ﹕ㅤㅤ there was a quiet contentment in being seen, both the good and the bad, especially by someone whose bravado he’d always admired. so maybe barbie and ken, sharpay and ryan, wonder twins separated at birth, and whatever else senseless rumor and moniker people had given them didn’t feel too far from the truth anymore, especially with how easily they’d managed to work together and find common ground. both of them seemed comfortable with what they wanted to present, and neither of them wanted to sabotage themselves with some sad attempt at emotional vulnerability, so he was certain they couldn’t possibly think of a better combination of songs. " you’re right. people think too much about what would be impressive that they end up losing themselves, ” he nodded, though he wasn’t completely absolved from that same sin every now and then, too much of a pleaser sometimes.
but it didn’t even matter that cecelia was also right when she said he had a penchant for interrogating his instincts, because it was her own confidence and validation that neutralized any doubts in him. “ well, right on then, ” sydney responded to her agreeing with the mashup of material girl and good ol’ fashioned lover boy, flashing an overjoyed grin that mirrored hers, basking in her reaction, unsure if he had actually ever seen her this way before. if anything, it only fueled his own excitement knowing that he’d done something to inspire her creative vision, to actually make her look forward to their performance than treat it like something to get over with. “ i’m not even sure if kelmeckis wants us to treat this assigment like a competition, but safe to say, i think we’ve got this in the bag. ”
but song choice was also only half the work, still had the tasks of arrangements, choreography, costumes, props, rehearsals, and everything that would put them above the rest. thankfully, neither of them were people who had any intentions of being ill-prepared. sydney’s smile remained as the cogs and gears of his mind were visibly turning, already blocking portions of his calendar to dedicate to this. “ we can work on the arrangement now, ” sydney said as he took his phone back to quickly lookup sheet music for their songs, then he opened his schedule, enthusiasm still burning despite how others might find these tasks mind-numbingly dull.
“ and then we can divide and conquer the rest. i’ll book us the choir room and find another rehearsal space just in case, and you can come up with choreography for the meantime. ” then, a photo sent to cecelia with all the open slots in his meticulously organized color-coded calendar that they could use for practice, and the next suggestion. “ then we can raid the costume archives in hummel house… or go shopping. ” lips curled into something more playful, the latter choice spoken as if some kind temptation that a material girl couldn’t refuse. “ my treat. ”
