Accidentally In Love || Ben/Cooper

“Rum is always good,” he agreed, watching the other man carefully. He was vibrant in a way that Ben had only seen in one other person, Charlie’s mother. Fun seemed to run in his blood, and he couldn’t help but be captivated. His question pulled Ben out of his thoughts, “No- no, he’s with Sam he’ll be okay. I can’t be the lame dad that breaks up his sleepover.”  

Cooper smiled mischievously at him, sitting up a little taller to look in the rearview mirror of the Uber car and arrange his hair a little.  “Who says you have break up the sleepover?  We can go to his pal’s house and lurk outside the windows!”

Thanks to @ethanlockeffxiv‘s player, we’ve settled on the man above who is Scott’s face claim. :D

Accidentally In Love || Ben/Cooper

12/3

“Yeah, I was barely eighteen,” he chuckled a little, but it was hard to hide the hint of sadness in his eyes. He wouldn’t trade his son for the world, but the fact that he hadn’t really gotten a chance to experience his twenties was more relevant than it’d ever been. “Of course I’ve been to a bar,” he said, breaking the quiet moment, “Just not in the last year or so.”

Cooper wasn’t sure what to do with the bit of melancholy he saw in Ben’s eyes, so he ignored it for the time being.  His blue eyes twinkled. “Well not much has changed, except drinks seem to be organic and have local stuff in them more and more now...very awesome.  And there are more rum drinks, yum.”  After a brief silence Ben’s fatherhood seemed to loom in Cooper’s head.  He’d dated more than one single parent, after all.  “Are you going to worry all night about your kiddo?  Do you want to go back?”

Accidentally In Love || Ben/Cooper

[postmoderncooper]

postmodernben:

“I’ve actually never been to a gay bar,” he chuckled a bit, “I was underage when Charlie was born and I haven’t really had the time since.” Ben was a bit overwhelmed at the sound of Cooper’s plotting, shaking his head a bit, “Maybe we should just play it by ear.” 

Cooper looked at him with a gentle smile few saw as he connected to the slight...trepidation?  Shyness?  Whatever it was, it moved Cooper to pat Ben’s arm as they rode toward the bar.  He reacted slightly to the muscle tone he felt under his hand, much more impressive than he might have imagined under the jacket of this soft spoken guy.  “Sure, sure, we can play it by ear...”  His brow furrowed as he considered Ben for longer.  “I didn’t realize how young you were when you had Charlie... have you been to any straight bars?” he asked with a teasing look.

[postmoderncooper]

postmodernben:

“You’re the one who-” he broke off when he realized Cooper was joking, shaking his head in disappointment with himself. He pulled on his own jacket as they walked out of the apartment, his eyes trailing over Cooper. He couldn’t help but check the other man out as he caught up with him, though he probably shouldn’t be, “Where are we going, again?” 

“The Abbey,” Cooper said briskly, as they got into the Uber at the curb.  “Y ou ready?  When’s the last time you did this?  I haven’t been to a gay bar in probably 5 years, except to meet Sebastian and my brother here and there.”  His head turned sharply towards Ben and the blue eyes danced.  “Ooh!  Maybe we should do some planning…should we come up with signals to escape, fake identities and such?  I can pretend to be your older brother or your boyfriend if you get cornered!”

Accidentally In Love || Ben/Cooper

Ben groaned and let his head rest against the back of the couch. This was the first night out he’d had in- god knows how long, probably since high school, and he was spending half of it waiting for Cooper to get ready, “I’m sure you look hot in whatever, at this rate we’ll be the only two left at the club that haven’t paired off yet.” 

[postmoderncooper]

Cooper strutted into the living room, wearing a stylish hat, a pair of exhorbitantly expensive  jeans, and an equally pricey t-shirt and vest.  "You could do a lot worse than to be left with me, Benjamin," he said playfully.  He grabbed his leather jacket and headed to the door.  "Come on now!  Hurry up!  Poor Charlie, having to put up with your glacial pace! Tsk, tsk, tsk!" he added, looking over his shoulder with an impish smile.

Make sense.

Funny?  Maybe I know someone from the sitcom tha films next to us.  Someone who will challenge you?  Scratch that, actors are too dumb to do that.

If you want to settle down with someone, we probably need to get you someone older, then.  Some 30something rich divorcee’ who ended up with their kids because their wife/husband was horrible.  You’d have a Brady Bunch situation with that, like Hunter Clarington, does that sound palatable?

My type?  I was going to go to the Abbey and try and figure that out.  I haven’t been with a guy in ages, so I don’t know.  Good looking. Good thing gay and bis are less likely me to judge for that.  I come from beautiful family, I have an aesthetic, so sue me.

Someone who appreciates me.  That might sound bad too, but I spent too long with someone who didn’t, and I’m done with power plays.  

And yeah, someone to settle down with.  I’m not gettin any younger.   So now that we’re on the same page, let’s pick a night, and let’s go get some.

Sounds like a plan.

“Because I’m too much of a pushover when it comes to you and we’ve never had to come up with compromises for Halloween,” Sebastian replied fondly.    “Jesse gave me the idea.” He leaned down to kiss Blaine on the ear and bury his face in the curls a bit.  After a moment he pulled away though.  “Wait, how are we going to get a Disney costume that meets your standards on  Halloween Day?”

Blaine smiled softly, taking comfort in the attention before he drew back and gave Sebastian a sheepish smile. “I, uh. I may already have bought the costumes for us?” He let out a slightly nervous chuckle. “I figured if I couldn’t get you to change your mind, we could use them next year!” 

[sebastianandersmythe]

Sebastian broke into a hearty laugh and gave his husband a shove. “Next year, my ass, you little shit. You knew I was gonna cave…”

Not immediately, there is no set time. They just need to be willing to try. He’s a friendly kid, he warms up to people pretty quickly. 

I- I don’t really know. Funny, I guess. Someone who will challenge me. Someone who’s looking for something longterm, who’s ready to stop partying and settle down. Someone who will treat Charlie like their own. And what’s yours? I need to know how to wingman, too. 

Make sense.

Yeah, but like- me and my kid are a package deal. He comes first before everyone, so if someone can’t get along with him we’re not working out. It’s just that simple. 

It is annoying. One girl asked me to take a picture of her down, it didn’t take too much longer for that one to end. 

Good luck, man. Let me know if you find anyone for me. 

PRIVATE:BENCOOP

Yeah but how long do you give this “someone”?  Do they need to hit it off immediately?  Three playdates? Two? One?

You mean a picture of him?  Yeah, no.

Well what’s your type?  Maybe I need to wingman it for you.  I wouldn’t mind some company as I get out there.  Come to think of it, I don’t even know what “out there” is.  The Abbey?  It’s not like Blaine or Sebastian would know, smug married people that they are.

29 years ago today a I met a handsome man who decided it was his mission to turn my face into the shade of a tomato. Turns out he was the love of my life. Happy (sort of) anniversary, @sebastianandersmythe. #blessed #onceawarbler #alwaysawarbler

@sammmmmmmmmiam Hahaha I hated him so much when we first met him for the Jackson off, and worse after @hunterclaringtonesq came along.  Now I can’t imagine you two with anyone else.  Happy Warbleraversary!

@nickwarbler That was the first day we had ever seen anything resembling that smile on young Sebastian.  We knew then that he wasn’t as big of a douche as we feared.   Happy Anniversary!

@hunterclaringtonesq Ah yes, the reason we didn’t win Nationals. ;)  Btw Sammy I hated you right back.  Teenage boy rage.  But Bas and Blaine kept the war at bay…damn it, I would have become the next Justin Timberlake if not for your little When Harry Met Sally routine!  I coulda been a contender!

@tinaofnyc Congratulations to the two lovebirds I could not make up my mind about! Lmao I was like a ball of emotions - possessive of Blaine, suspicious of Seb, wanting so much for Blaine, crushing on Seb, scared of Seb, rationally trying to be a good friend, worried about Kurt, trying to calm Sam the hell down.  I wish I could tell 19 year old me to chill the heck out LOL.

@jxbouvierx congratulations

@maryevans You guys are so bloody adorable I might be a little sick.  But the good kind of sick.  Happy Anniversary, we love you guys.

@stephen​murphy Happy Anniversary.  Boys to Men...a match for a lifetime.  Young people today could learn from your story.  May I refer to you in my sermon on Sunday?

@robandrewdean Happy Anniversary, you two.  You beat the odds.

@cooperdevonanderson Congratulations

See, now that’s just ridiculous. No girls ever really warm up to my kid, and they get jealous when I talk about his mother. Besides, most twenty-four year olds still want to party every night, and I just don’t have time for that. And the guys are just- really desperate. I think I’ve given up for good, honestly.

It could be that some people just aren’t kid people, but they might get there.  I know I enjoy my niece and nephew (in limited doses) but other kids aren’t really my thing necessarily.  Maybe a few of the cool ones spawned from Blaine’s crowd, but that’s it.

The jealousy thing is ridiculous.  That’s just annoying.

I’m moving on to men.  It’s been awhile since I’ve been with one, so we shall see.

You and me both, my friend.

[postmoderncooper]

Seriously, it’s just not worth the effort anymore.  I’m not sure it ever was to begin with.  And the older I get, the worse the selection gets.  They are either desperate 30 or 40 somethings or gold-digging 20 somethings.  I found a dossier on my father and his estimated net worth on a girl’s desk last night.

I’m so over women.

What the hell happened? I didn’t even know you were seeing anyone.

PRIVATE POST FOR FRIENDS ONLY

Whatever, Cole I was kidding.  

Aw Chicken Coop what happened?  I thought your post was just a bit of your typical bitching.  Did someone break the heartbreaker’s heart?  If you say Melissa I’m going to put a tracking anklet on you, though.  We talked about you ever picking up the phone if she calls.

PRIVATE:SEBANDERBROS

I wasn’t seeing anyone, I was trying to, I wanted to find a wife on that dumb reality show that got cancelled before they even aired it.  After all that screening there wasn’t one woman who I would want to marry, and the whole process just made me really cynical about women - they’re all like Melissa, always playing power games, or they are so clingy, or they talk so much I want to blow my brains out.  It was all great for my craft, going through all that, but I’m exhausted.  I haven’t been with a guy since that Graham guy when I was working that cruise ship job, but I think it’s time.

It’s about time.  It’s only taken you what, 40 years to figure out that Team Dick is the way to go?

You’re so bad, Uncle Seb.   You shouldn’t be making it sound like a choice.

Shut up, Sebastian
