“Excuse me!” Beau squeaked as he attempted to push through the busy crowd of the Lockwood party. He was currently riding out an intense acid trip, hence why he momentarily thought he was merely picturing a rather coked out frat boy yelling at someone he recognized. “You took my fucking blow, I know it! You know how much that cost me?!” Beau could hear them from the other side of the party, already redirecting his frantic pushing to come to the rescue of the familiar face, cutting in with a quick, “Woah, woah!” Stepping between the two as soon as the frat boy raised his fist threateningly, Beau gave them a reassuring smile, hands held in front of him in surrender to show he meant no harm, “I’m sure this was all a mix up - no need for any unnecessary fighting! Right?” he asked, looking at the person he was currently stood in front of like a human meat shield with an insistent smile, hoping they would just follow his lead and remain calm.

“Whooaaa.” Bekket said, holding up his hands in defense and trying to back up slightly; a universal sign for surrender, even if his lips were curled and his expression read “annoyed and unimpressed.” 

 “Whatever you’re missing, I didn’t take it.” He insisted, frowning still, though he felt an immediate wave of relief when Beau stepped in to try to break up the fight. Despite his, er, spunk, Bekket knew damn well he couldn’t take... A vast majority of people who existed in a fight, and probably not this guy.

“yours is good then, if it’s easier, and i’ve been cooped up in my own place for long enough,” levi nodded, waiting for him to give the driver the address before leaning back in his seat, working through everything he’d said. “you do look like you get pissed off easily, honestly, i’m kind of impressed i haven’t made you angry yet because i have a tendency to bring that out in people,” levi said with a chuckle. “sorry, that wasn’t the thing to pick up from all you said i guess. it all sounds like a lot of work, like, super interesting but… so much to do. i’m not even sure what exactly activism entails like, you go to parades and protests and stuff?”

“And if we go to my place, I can beat your ass in Smash Bros!” He cheered, grinning widely as he buckled up, leaning back in his seat. “I’m glad I give off that vibe. But yeah. It’s a lot sometimes, but, like... I enjoy it? I dunno, I like feeling like I’m helping and making a difference and having a place to, like, channel all my rage with the world. So I volunteer a lot, and I do a lot of, like, education and outreach programs? I go to a ton of parades and protests and sometimes I help organize them. I dunno-- I guess you end up wearing a ton of hats? I also, just, like, lowkey have a complex, so it’s nice to have something to justify it with.” He laughed.

levipark:

“okay, you can make me a list of bounce-backy activities and i’ll try to stick to those,” levi laughed. “well, i’m kind of curious about this activist side of yours, you made it sound wild, how did you get into it?” he asked, leading them outside the hospital and into the car at last. “are we going back to mine or yours? or do you just wanna be dropped off at yours because i’d get it if you wanted to go back to sleep,” he said, hesitatingly.

“I’ll pen it up immediately.” He assured, smiling a tiny bit. “I dunno. I mean. I have two dads, so I was always really involved in the, like, queer rights and gay marriage thing since I was pretty young, especially when I came out. I went to a lot of marches and meetings and fundraisers and stuff. But like. I dunno, my reasoning is always that the universe literally stacked the deck in the favor of me being involved in activism. Like. I’m literally a queer disabled person of color, so almost everything I’ve been involved in has started off being something really personal to me and then it just grew from there. Plus I get pissed off really easily so it’s a good outlet.” He added, grinning a bit. “I mostly do a lot of queer activism and disability rights and stuff like that, but I’ve gotten really involved in, like, Black Lives Matter stuff and anti-Trump stuff, too.” He shrugged. “No, I’m fine. We can go wherever you want unless you wanna get rid of me, which is fine too because I bet you’re tired.” He paused slightly. “... That being said, I know my place is allergen-free, so maybe that would be an easier location...”

levipark:

“that’s like, the furthest thing from an easy question,” levi laughed, taken aback slightly. “i’m fine, there’s no spiral here, it’s just… a rough patch,” he shrugged, figuring he might as well give him an honest answer. “you know, it happens. i had a couple bad things happen and i’m bouncing back, but it takes a bit. thanks for asking though, i mean, not that it’s great knowing it looks like i need help, but it’s nice knowing someone cares,” he chuckled.

“Alright, if you say so, man.” He sighed. “Just, like, no more ER visits, okay? That’s a very spirally thing to do. Not a very bounce-backy thing to do. Let’s stick with bounce-backy activities from now on. Just an idea.” He suggested. “But, you know. Anyway. You can ask me questions now if you want?”

levipark:

“don’t worry, i just did that, and i’m pretty sure i can find the exit,” he said, nodding to his phone as he closed the app. reaching out to touch his elbow, partly so it’d be easier to follow him but also because he was feeling slightly clingy, levi started walking out of the place. “so, i asked a lot of questions, i can let you have one more before i ask all the rest of mine. make it easy though.”

“Alright, cool. I trust you.” He hummed, smiling a tiny bit and getting to his feet and allowing Levi to begin to guide him through the hospital. “Uhhh. I dunno if this is gonna b an easy question, but, like, are you okay, dude? It feels like you’ve been spiraling a little lately, like, no offense, but-- Like, do you need help?”

bvclark:

“I’ll narrate the whole thing next to you if I have to but I’ll definitely look into it if it ends up good enough for festivals.” She meant it, too. “I’ve discovered recently that most people can agree to some extent that white film boys deserve to be slapped at some point or three in their lives.”

He scoffed softly at that, raising a brow. “Thanks.” He hummed, seeming amused. “But I bet it’ll be awesome. Also, people who disagree with that sentiment are not to be trusted.”

fvkanya:

“drowning isn’t so bad.” the girl responded as if it was a perfectly normal thing to say. “as long as someone’s there to help you before you pass out.” anya groaned at his suggestion. “I’ve had enough water. and enough sitting.”

“Yes, it is. Drowning sucks. And we’re not doing it.” He scoffed. “And you don’t have someone to help you before you pass out, anyway. So we should sit down. I wanna sit down. Sit down with me.”

“thanks, i hadn’t thought of just not being dumb, that’s a good solution,” levi said, uncharacteristically bitter for a second, but then he finally found popcorn at the bottom of the bag and his mood shifted drastically. “ah, finally. dex makes me hungrier than adderall, it’s a mystery – i should do research and get it published. sorry, we can leave now, i think? i wasn’t really paying attention to the nurse.”

“A lot of people don’t, you’d be surprised.” He hummed, smiling a little as he teased. I hope you like your popcorn unbuttered, Levi. “I guess I’m not that surprised? But fuck it, we can leave. Do you want me to call up a Lyft?” He questioned, raising a brow as he got back up, taking out his cane. “Also, I have no idea where we are so you gotta navigate us outta here, okay?”

seeing bekket make his way to him made levi feel kinda bad for having dragged him out of his house just because of something silly like this. reaching out to grab his backpack, he tapped on the chair next to him loud enough so he’d hear, waiting for him to sit down. “wow, you drive a hard bargain,” he said with a short laugh. “i didn’t do anything, i just… miscalculated some pills and sort of fainted. okay, no sort of, just literally fainted in a hallway, it wasn’t so bad.”

“Ah. Sounds like you fucked up, then, bud.” He hummed, plopping down in the seat, allowing the other to go through his bag of allergen-free snacks. Yum. “In the future, do me a favor and don’t be dumb, okay? ERs suck.”

@homoerostic: what are you guys' opinions on open relationships? spill the t

@bktlist: nothing wrong with it as long as everyone is aware of the situation and consents. sometimes thats what works best for people.

“That’s what I’m hoping for. If they see it’s not another one of those, maybe they’ll submit.” She nodded, rolling her eyes for emphasis, “The Universe has given me a big responsibility but forgot to give me the patience for it, honestly. Still not sure how I haven’t clocked a one yet.” 

He shrugged. “I wish you the best of luck. I’ll come to the screening. If it’s accessible.” He added the last part under his breath. “I feel like I relate to that statement very deeply.”
