Rule #32: Enjoy the little things

ll Sixth ll Muggleborn ll Forever part of Gangreen Gang My name is Grubber. I'm a pretty chill type of guy as long as you don't mess with me or my fellow gang members, especially Ace and Arturo. You can normally catch me in detention or wandering around. Whatever I'm doing it's probably nothing good, just a little warning for ya.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

Yeah I would. I think its a little overdue, don’t you?

[butcher-with-a-bat]

*As he’s stepping closing to Grubber, taking him up in his embrace* In that case, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. *Grins as he tucks a hand under Grubber’s chin, guiding their lips to each other once again for a long awaited snog.*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Smiles against his beloveds lips and happily returns the kiss. His lips moved in time with Butch, just like they always seemed fo do when they kissed. He reached out and pulled Butch towards him. Causing him to stumble back into a wall and letting out a small, soft grunt*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Was expecting something else but his lips return the passionate kiss, leaving him breathless when Butch pulled away* Why the hell would I ever..*closes the apace between them and kisses Butch passionately again* do that? *Can only look into his eyes at the moment because Grubber officially wants their pants off* Was that my welcome back kiss?

[butcher-with-a-bat]

No, that was an I missed you kiss. *Flashes a smile* Do you want a welcome back kiss?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

Yeah I would. I think its a little overdue, don't you?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

What else did you and Artie say to me before you said goodbye, Ace? *he asked with an unamused face*

[ace-of-snakes]

Snake distracted me, though, and Arturo forgot to remind me, and he also lost the cars keys, so you know I’ve been looking for those. And Billy! I think Billy ate them so. *Bites his bottom lip and looks away* 

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Shakes his head* Snake distracted you, Ace. That's the only truth you told me that damn excuse. Thanks anyway, yeah? *keeps his arms crossed and half waits for Ace to walk away, half waits for him to actually apologize*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Feels his words stab him like knives* Excuse me?

[butcher-with-a-bat]

*Closes the space between him and Grubber as he passionately kisses him. Steps back to where he was* I don’t know how long muggles celebrate Christmas and New Years, *shrugs again* I thought you could’ve been just avoiding the castle.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Was expecting something else but his lips return the passionate kiss, leaving him breathless when Butch pulled away* Why the hell would I ever..*closes the apace between them and kisses Butch passionately again* do that? *Can only look into his eyes at the moment because Grubber officially wants their pants off* Was that my welcome back kiss?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Frowns* Since, when, Ace? *Crosses his arms, tapping his foot on the floor*

[ace-of-snakes]

*Casually* Says Arturo and I said goodbye to you before the holidays…

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

What else did you and Artie say to me before you said goodbye, Ace? *he asked with an unamused face*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

You act as if I did it on purpose, Butch.

[butcher-with-a-bat]

*Shrugs* How am I supposed to know if you did or not?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Feels his words stab him like knives* Excuse me?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[ace-of-snakes]

Oh hey! You’re back!

I haven’t seen you since …Oh.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Frowns* Since, when, Ace? *Crosses his arms, tapping his foot on the floor*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[butcher-with-a-bat]

Funny, I was just thinking that it was such bullshit I haven’t seen you in 2014 yet.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

You act as if I did it on purpose, Butch.

[coolest-puffer-boomer]

While in the Qudditch Changing rooms...

*Taking his shirt off before he heard a sound* Hello?

[butcher-with-a-bat]

*Finds Boomer in the Hufflepuff section* Huh, thought I heard someone. *Nods in Boomer’s direction* Coming or going?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...This is such bullshit.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Just looks straight at Ace as he speaks* I fucking miss you, Ace. I miss everything about you. I miss how we could finish each other’s sentences, and how we could strike fear in many first and second years just by walking down a corridor. I miss you laughing at my lame…

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Sighs sadly* I do think that about Butch. I..*softly now* love him, Ace. *Looks down at the ground as the words slowly sink in* I love him. I really fucking love him. *Looks up at him* And I love you. You both have my heart, Ace. Just…in different ways. You’re my best friend, mate, everything. You’re the one who I will go down with no matter what. You’re the one I know I don’t have to worry about hurting me. When things get bad I’m going to run to you, because you hold so much of me that..it really is scary. I didn’t mean to hurt you, Ace. I never meant for you to be angry or hurt. I just…I just gave into my happiness for once and maybe…maybe if I had done that sooner…*lowers his voice* Maybe it wouldn’t be Butch who I’d be with right now.

[ace-of-snakes]

*Hand drops from Grubber’s as his head hangs* Maybe, but… *looks up* its better late than never, yeah? You deserve to be happy Grubber, I’ve been trying to tell you that for a while. If Butch makes you see that finally, than I shouldn’t be in the way of that. I’m sorry, I’m… I’m not hurt, Grubber. I just needed to adjust, and I have. You’re one of my best friends Grubber, and your happiness isn’t supposed to hurt me.

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

Then, why does it? *reaches out to take Ace’s hand*

[ace-of-snakes]

*Without thinking, his hand wrapped around Grubber’s* I don’t know, all I know is that… it doesn’t matter, anymore. Because I can see how happy you are, and that takes all the hurt away. *Minutely smiles*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Squeezes his hand, gently* It will always matter to me, Ace. *Sighs softly* I just..*sighs again because he doesn’t know what he wants to say*

[ace-of-snakes]

What? I mean, I’m still just happy that we’re talking again. *squeezes his hand a bit firmer as his smile grows*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Returns the smile and squeeze* Me too. I've really missed you. *Clears his throat* How have things been? I, um, I got you a gift....if you want it, I mean.

[brickbyfuckinbrick]

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

Really? I think red suits you perfectly, actually. *Softly replies* Nah, it wouldn’t. Believe it or not..I like having you in my life, Brick. Sure I pretty much owe all my detentions till this summer thanks to you and I may or may not have gotten into serious trouble a...

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Laughs softly* I said red looks good on you, Brick. I'm complimenting you. *Returns the warm smile* I know what its like not wanting people to walk all over you, still though, they do it anyway. I guess that's why I'm not a prefect and you are, huh? Heh. *Takes a drag of his smoke and exhales slowly* Why don't you try not coming off as a dick? Or is that against some weird rule of yours or whatever?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Just looks straight at Ace as he speaks* I fucking miss you, Ace. I miss everything about you. I miss how we could finish each other’s sentences, and how we could strike fear in many first and second years just by walking down a corridor. I miss you laughing at my lame…

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Casually places his can on the ground and taps his chin* I know of one, but…I don’t know how I feel about you snogging him. I might get jealous.

[butcher-with-a-bat]

Not letting me get properly snogged, that’s a little selfish, don’t you think? *A smile plays on his lips*

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*reaches out and pulls Butch closer to him* I'm a selfish bastard when it comes to you. *Lets his hand slip down to grope Butch* Is that okay?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Just looks straight at Ace as he speaks* I fucking miss you, Ace. I miss everything about you. I miss how we could finish each other’s sentences, and how we could strike fear in many first and second years just by walking down a corridor. I miss you laughing at my lame…

*Just looks straight at Ace as he speaks* I fucking miss you, Ace. I miss everything about you. I miss how we could finish each other’s sentences, and how we could strike fear in many first and second years just by walking down a corridor. I miss you laughing at my lame...

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

...

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*After a while of working on his own wall he turned to look over at Ace’s. Instantly his arm fell to his side and his body turned completely towards Ace’s direction* Ace?

[ace-of-snakes]

*Freezes for a moment before turning around* Yeah?

[pfft-grubber-pfft]

*Just looks straight at Ace as he speaks* I fucking miss you, Ace. I miss everything about you. I miss how we could finish each other's sentences, and how we could strike fear in many first and second years just by walking down a corridor. I miss you laughing at my lame jokes. I miss seeing your sleepy face in the mornings next to me. I miss tagging with you. I miss being the one you came to when you wanted to talk about anything and vise versa. *As Grubber was talking though he was stepping closer to Ace and pretty soon he was just inches away from him* But most of all, I miss being able to call you friend. My anything. Its not the same without you, Ace. I can't stay sober if you aren't in my life. I can't fucking sleep without you. My bed is a frozen ice box without you. *Cups his face and rests their foreheads together* I'm so sorry, Ace. I'm so sorry for fucking everything up. I'm so, so, so fucking sorry for hurting you. But I can't pretend anymore. I need you in my life. I need you more than anyone, Ace. I'd do anything, /anything/ to make things okay between us again. Just please...*holds him a bit closer* please don't walk away from me.
