they took me in the night.

ryan gallagher, sixteen years old. an air cadet, so yeah, i plan on flying fighter jets one day. also, don't mess with my family - a broken nose and a few missing teeth is what we consider a lucky escape.

I’m really bored so I’m stalking male models online. Just so you know, jake cooper, jacob young, callum wilson and jed texas went bowling yesterday

[r-gallagher]

luca had drifted off into sleep on the couch, even though it was only 10am, he had been out all night. he was not pleased to be rudely awakened by the banging and yelling coming from the other side of the door. ‘whoever that is better have a damn good reason for waking me up,’ he thought as he reluctantly got off the couch. 

whoever it was on the other side of that door did not sound happy at all. “all right all right, quit yelling.” he opened the door slowly, rubbing at his eyes a bit. he couldn’t help but smirk when he saw ryan standing on his door step - wait was that a bat? he narrowed his eyes, looking the boy up and down and trying not to give anything away. how could he know that it was luca who had done it? unless… he had gotten it wrong, and someone had seen him… and now… well.

he straightened up a little, placing as sweet a smile he could on his face. he wondered if ryan would actually use the bat, and hoped that he wouldn’t, since he didn’t have anything on him to protect himself, and leaving the door to grab something would probably look suspicious. maybe he could do his best to play he was innocent? though that probably wouldn’t work… luca and innocent weren’t two words that were put together a lot.  

“Gallagher, what a surprise, never expected to see you on my doorstep, may i help you with anything?” he asked, tilting his head to the side, looking the other boy up and down before fixing his eyes to his.

he didn't have to wait long, thankfully, for the door to open. and there stood luca milkovich, looking as if he'd just woken up, some strands of his hair sticking up at an odd angle, and ryan resisted the urge to laugh that almost evaporated all of his previous rage. but, for obvious reasons, he couldn't, as he was here on very serious business, so he scrounged up his face as best as he could into an angry expression.

"yeah, shithead, you can help me by cleaning the eggs that you threw off the side of our house," ryan said, advancing a step closer while staring luca straight in the eye. the other boy was certainly taller by a few inches, but ryan hoped that his sheer fury would help on the imposing side. "yeah, that's right, i saw you running away. you're not that fast, you know." he bounced the bat lightly several times in his hand to help emphasize his point. "gonna come quietly, or am i gonna have my friend Pine here knock some sense into your head?"

i don’t know whether to be amused by your so-called logic or cry over how cruel you are to me. i thought we were bffs man. best. friends. forever. :C

hey, that doesn’t say a lot about me. i’m just .. you don’t even know what happened, okay. >:T she was doing that thing with the .. burying her face into her hands and the .. sniffling. and the whole .. /waves hands into the air.) shut up ok. :C I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. it doesn’t usually WORK. oh my fuck /punches him halfheartedly.) shut up. stay hidden in the bushes. wear a, uh, trenchcoat and one of those inspector gadget hats. then you’ll look like a real perv. ………… /I: face.) you’re oh-so~ funny.

it’s actually everything BUT. because i’m dragging you with me. if i’m in this, you’ve gotta at least go halfway. thanks. love you too. ;D .. hi. /awk.) no, he’s just hanging around until i get home safely, you know — /dofjshkgfdgd like falls on ryan because he didn’t expect him to go that fast.) 

we are bffs, man. that is, until you die on me. so basically the point is: don't die on me, okay?

yes, it does. /just raises his eyebrow while max is talking. sure, okay. sure it doesn't work all the time. tell that to my face next time i squeeze a favour out of you that way. 8) /snickers as he's being punched. oh my god, you totally liiiiike her. what, is her squirrely brand of violence attractive to you? maybe it's the creepy, bug-like eyes? /wow now ryan's just being an asshole sorry. xD ew, why would i want to do that. looking like a real perv's your job. ha, that's right, i am funny, so you better remember that, okay?

it's actually EVERYTHING. since when was that ever a rule, asshole? yeah, yeah, now i'm starting to take the declaration of love back. /to aurelio, heatedly: like i fucking wanted a tux, you a -- /gets cut off by a stray max getting thrown on him. /can't breathe so heavy lol. jesus, max, you need to cut down on the fries man. gerrof me before you crush me to death. 

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

/claps hands.) 

so let me get this straight. you’re gonna raise me from the dead just to kill me and make me dead again. .__. great logic there. ryan gallagher, smartest boy on the planet. :3

I DON’T KNOW WHY I AGREED TO THIS. she was sniffling and crying and being all cute and shit and then i just fell into her trap. :/ it was hard ok. okay, i’ll let you borrow my binoculars if she doesn’t let you in. and if you see me being stabbed by high heels, then you come in pronto and get me the hell outta there. i’m .. /snicker.) sure she won’t do it again. as long as you keep your mouth shut. it can do magic, okay. i’ll clean your room for you if you want. with my magic stick. 

this is not funny. he’s supposed to be here. i’m not waiting here all night — oh shit i think that’s him. /stares back and is like oh.) … don’t leave me alone with him./that’s whispered to ryan.) /slowly gets into the car.) 

shut up, that is great logic, okay. that is anger logic talking right there. as if, if you die on me, i will be so angry i'll raise you from the dead and deny you a second chance at life, that's how angry i'll be. so. there.

oh geez, you mean the trap of her being a girl? wait, she was being what?? oh my god, if a girl can get you to agree to shit with a little sniffling and crying you're in for a world of hurt and disappointment, mate. /shakes head. /snorts. i bet something was hard. /DON'T LOOK AT ME MAX SET HIMSELF UP. but okay, okay. wow i'm gonna look like such a pervert, sneaking on you guys with binoculars. fine, mouth shut around the devil. i can do that. and...fine. do clean my room then. with your "magic stick." /snickers max set himself up again okay.

/still laughing so much. yes it is, it is hilarious -- /sees the car approach. ...what do you mean don't leave you alone? wait what the f -- why am i getting kidnapped too??? /sighs. FINE. but only because i fucking love you, okay. /gets in too omg.

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

i was really trying to imply something there. i’m so happy you caught on. ;D

okay good. not HOPEFULLY. i’ll be coming out from this. and when i do, we’ll be drinking more booze to celebrate my .. survival.

she said she was going to teach me. is it bad that i’m nervous. because i am. for my own neck. and my feet. tell me about it. RYAN WHAT DID I SIGN UP FOR. i just sign up for all the wrong things. clearly. ………. stan puts his wand to shame. but i don’t care what he does with his wand. i care about what happens to my wand because it’s mine. you. take care of it or i will haunt you until the day you die.

do you think this is a laughing matter, mr gallagher ???? 

yeah, well. you suck. /wow gr8 comeback ryan

yes. good. you better be, or i'll drag you back from the dead myself and then kill you for leaving me alone. and the more booze, the better. 8)

oh god oh god oh GOD the devil said she was going to teach you??? and you thought it was a good idea to spend extended amounts of time with her why??? okay, shit, calm the fuck down, okay. if i can't come to this party, i can at least come to these...dancing lessons, to chaperone, okay. you'll be fine. and hopefully she won't give me a bloody nose again. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SIGNED UP FOR, OKAY, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT MYSELF. ughhh, fine, i'll take care of your stick...thing. that happens to be able to do magic. supposedly.

oh my god, do i ever. your kidnapper stood you up. the guy who was supposed to kidnap you was so disinterested in the job that he stood you up. how does this not sound funny to you??

[xsweetstuffz]

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

ew no bro schedules are gay. 

oh wait.

alright, how about after this tux business and before i go to that ball ‘cause i’m gonna need something before i dive into hell. 

i don’t know how to dance and you damn well know i don’t know shit about rich people parties. :( i’m worried too, man. about everything. how do we even sneak you in? frankie might knock you out again and i don’t want you swallowing your teeth. alright, say things get really bad, i’ll text you and scram. can we at least pretend i’m going to survive this and come out in one piece? ;DD … i am not letting you have my wand. ever. you put it to shame.

thanks.

no, my kidnapping is being held off.

DAMN IT RYAN I’M BEING STOOD UP

ugh

are you trying to imply something, huh.

deal. deal. we can also celebrate your brave entry into enemy territory and what will hopefully not be your last normal night on earth.

well...i'm thinkin' you better learn soon, because shit. oh god, i don't want that happening either. :c christ, that girl's like a wolverine in a mini-skirt and cherry lip gloss. fine, fine, deal. and okay... it's just one party, it shouldn't be so terribly life-threatening. hey, i'm putting it to very creative uses, okay. it's better than what stan does with his, anyway -- pretty sure he just sticks it under his chair to make it more level.

you got stood up at your own kidnapping? /snort

/snort

/snort

/just keeps on snorting

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

none of us were. we’re too damn poor. ‘sides, we got some of our own. i mean, i’ve got the booze. you’ve got .. junk food, i guess. good enough. the corrupt cop, hah. ah well, i had my own shit to worry about. i wasn’t about to do other people’s homework, even if it got paid for it. /that’s scabior’s job pls.)

you know i don’t usually get myself involved in these kinds of things, but who knows what’ll happen to me if i back out now. you got your nose broken. i might get thrown off a 30-story building or something. shut up. i’ll be standing near the wall most of the time. /likely STORY.) so what if i whored myself out a little? /nudgenudge.) what worldly belongings? you can have my wand … if you know how to use it. 8)

aurelio. the big one. thanks, man. i owe you if you can actually find me one.

crap i’m being kidnapped

hm, true that. yeah, booze and junk food, that's gotta be the life, woohoo. yo, when are we actually hanging out so we can drink this booze and eat this junk food? am i gonna have to write a "bro schedule"? please don't make me do that, that's...well, gay. yeah, guess so, that sounds like it would've been a drag. i don't know how stan does it all the time. /lol, rookwood'll say. ;D

jesus. true. do you even know how to dance, though? do you even know how to act at these fancy rich people parties? how do i sneak in and act as your bodyguard? look, i don't want to sound like, well, emma, but i'm getting really fucking worried that this might turn out kind of badly. oh, ew. please do not even ask that question and then touch me ever, ever again. just ew. i dunno, all your savings? your comics? and sure, i'll put your wand to good use...to unclog the toilet whenever luke takes an unusually large dump again. 8)

oh, the scary one. yeah, yeah, i'll see what i can do.

wait, you're being what? are you joking? you're joking, right? 

holy shit, are you actually being kidnapped and what do i do??

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

mr john fancypants was murdered four years ago, so if you wanna get me another contact, that’d be greatly appreciated. stan would. sadly, i don’t have the luxury of rich friends even when i was at hogwarts. I: ; 

hey. /playful shove.) i’m serious this time. it really is a favour and nothing more or i really did sign an awful deal with the devil. you know. i d e a s. ryan gallagher ideas. whatever ideas that dirty little mind of yours can think of. /holds hands up defensively!) technically, it is not a DATE. it is .. just a ball that i have to show up at. IN MY DEFENSE, she .. i .. … i’ve got nothing. i roped myself into hell, but i might get paid for it so. you know. /attempts to shrug it off ; shoves hands into pockets meekly.) i’m alright, i’M ALRIGHT. just .. if i don’t show up next week, start by looking at the bottom of the river.

… i’m serious about the tux though. you gotta help me out if you can because asking her brother is my last resort.

seriously?? damn, and i wasn't invited to his funeral? i probably missed out on some good booze and some damn good finger food. heh, maybe you should've done homework for kids like stan did. or been the "corrupt cop" of hogwarts. 

fiiine. man, you really are serious about it. /innocent look. i really don't know what you're talking about, max. i would never, ever get any kinds of ideas like that. OH, OKAY. totally not a date then, if you're taking her to a freaking ball. you might get paid for it? did you -- /snorts. did you just prostitute yourself out to a princess of a big-time mafia family? /laughs and pats max's back sympathetically. jeeeeesus. fine, i'll keep an eye out for ya, as long as you promise to leave me all your worldly belongings when you die.

oh god, which brother? and fine, fine, i'll see what i can do, okay?

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

seriously? you couldn’t mug a child if you tried. and good luck panhandling for like, a year. do you know how expensive tuxes are?

yeah, no kidding, i mean — wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up, back up. a girl? /eyebrow raise; SMIRK. you sly bastard, you weren’t going to tell me about this before? what’s her name, huh? do i know her?

[maxi-lion]

don’t remind me. /groans.) give me a name of a very rich friend. do we have any of those? …… maybe my dad has one. ;~;

…………………… /scratches neck with an anxious smile.) hah. uh yeah, it’s more of a favour than anything. don’t you be getting any ideas, ryan gallagher. i only just signed myself up for this. …… O_____O NO. >__>;; maybe. it may or may not be the same girl who socked you in the face a few years ago.

[r-gallagher]

yeah, let me just rifle through all the rich contacts i've gathered over the years. why you start with mr. john fancypants, at the top of the pile? /omg ryan your snark will be the death of me. /sighs and shrugs. i dunno...i can ask stan if he knows a guy. apparently he's actually built up a pretty substantial list of contacts.

oh. okay. sure, "favours." i've heard that one before. /SNORTS. hm, what kind of ideas, maximillion yang? what kind of ideas? what's with that look, anyway? /frown. hey, i never got socked in th -- wait a fucking second. do you mean frankie foresi? you're going on a date, in a tux, with frankie fucking foresi, devilwoman incarnate?? /grabs his shoulders and shakes him. have you lost your fucking mind? did she drug you? dear god, she's drugged you, hasn't she. quick, someone call a pharmacologist, please, for the love of god.

[r-gallagher]

[r-gallagher]

yeah, maybe if you like, mugged a rich man on the other side of london. /omg so helpful ryan.

/crosses arms. c’mon, are we keeping secrets from each other now? did luca dare you to prance around town in one day or else he’ll cut your ears off? /smirk.

[maxi-lion]

.. not a bad idea, actually. /sighs.) alright, maybe i can panhandle and do some stupid shit and .. earn some money or something. 

/shruggie.) well .. no. it’s difficult to explain. if i pranced around with a tux in this town, i’ll be mugged then shot and then left at the bottom of a river not even ten minutes in. it’sjustigottadosomethingforthisgirl. 

[r-gallagher]

seriously? you couldn't mug a child if you tried. and good luck panhandling for like, a year. do you know how expensive tuxes are?

yeah, no kidding, i mean -- wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up, back up. a girl? /eyebrow raise; SMIRK. you sly bastard, you weren't going to tell me about this before? what's her name, huh? do i know her?

[r-gallagher]

yeah, i’ll just dig it out from under my personal chauffeur and diamond-studded pony.

no, dumbass, does it look like i own a tux?

what do you need a tux for anyway?

[maxi-lion]

touche. i don’t know anyone with a tux. do you know where i can BORROW one? 

… nothing. I: let’s just say my life depends on it or something.

[r-gallagher]
