curt-hodgkiss:
“I haven’t gotten tired yet,” Curtis said with a shrug and a hiccup. Then he grinned. “I’m not vanilla. Can’t I be strawberry? I bet I can handle it, whatever you’ve got.”
“Mm, that’s sweet. Hope you stay that way,” River raised an eyebrow before finishing their (very illegal) drink and standing up, “Mmkay, Mr. World Pop Star.”
River brushed past him and towards the sort of empty dance floor, starting to groove their hips a little bit. “Show me what you got.”
porter-delaney:
I love how you actually know these people and I’m like, Oh yeah, I like that one song. How dyou find your new music, River?
“Hey man, you just gotta put yourself out there and the connections come back,” River said with a giggle, “I just met him at like, a party or something. Mm... that’s a good question. I dunno. The internet. I watch music review youtube channels and listen to as much shit as I can get my hands on. Some of it isn’t great, and some of it is. Just about being open to everything, I guess.”
@upupriver: literally o'shea jackson jr FUCK ME it's been like 2 weeks and i'm not over u this is the longest i've ever loved someone
kyungwonpls:
Kyung-won chuckled, sheepishly. “Yeah, I guess I am very lucky.” Cheese-ball though they were, they’d meant it.
“I- I know you do. I didn’t have time to learn the whole thing, and I’m not really good enough anyway to learn the whole thing,” they licked their lips, placing the instrument in front of River, “but I’ll teach you. Xenia’s probably a better teacher than me though.” They smiled at them, warm and affectionate, reaching for what was left of their pizza. “If you want more, you know you’re welcome to it.”
River smiles, “Well, hey. It sounded great so far to me. I’m sure to be really pro you gotta have like, two mallets or whatever in each hand. Maybe we’ll get there one day.”
River stood up and nodded. “Hell yeah I want more,” they said, practically skipping into the kitchen, “Honestly the only time I eat well is when you make something.”
damienwhitman:
“Check out these killer dance moves.”
River snorts. “Damien you’re such a nerd. You have the like, hot jock thing going for you but you’re really a nerd,” River giggled.
vesperdubois:
I found my cat, and I’m gonna get a bottle of champagne to celebrate. By myself. Unless, you want some too…
“Motherfucker I am always down for champagne,” River says with a wide grin, “Also, your cat’s not gonna like... hiss at me or anything, right?”
cammiejacks:
“Really? So was that a wrong description then? Are you usually unreasonable and I just haven’t seen it yet?” She teased, while also being really curious. “KimCam? And I sincerely hope not.”
“Oh yeah, there are some stories. I say one of the scariest things on earth is a drunk frat boy with a silver spoon up his ass. They rarely have any sense of when they’ve crossed a line or they do and just don’t care. Either way, something bad usually happens.”
“I can be pretty unreasonable, yeah,” River admitted with a laugh, “Mostly about the shit I can afford to buy versus what I can’t. And shit like travelling.”
“Yeah, KimCam. Cam, like Cammie. I dunno, it sounds cute.”
River nods. “I believe it. Fuck. No thanks to that business. Usually those types tend to steer clear of me, except when they feel like picking on someone. Honestly the worst people on earth. I’m so sorry to hear that, shit...”
jinsuntbh:
“Why the hell are you judging me so harshly? I make one mistake and I can’t redeem myself? Damn,” he frowned and looked around. “I knew them much longer than you fucking did.” he shook his head and then shrugged. “The library? Fine. I’ll do that.”
“One mistake that hurt someone really badly,” River said, devoid of sympathy, “Don’t like toxic people. But if you think you can redeem yourself, go ahead and try.”
They frowned at Jin-sun’s words, challenged by them.
“You might know them longer but you don’t know them like I do,” River spat back--though honestly, they weren’t sure how true that was. They liked to think they knew what they were talking about, “And I’ve never hurt Kyung-won either so that should stand for something.”
River shakes their head. “You better not start anything.”
curt-hodgkiss:
“I do hear that a lot,” Curtis nodded absently and then he leaned over against the bar for stability. “Why not? I bet I could totally handle your dancing. Please. I’m a grown up.”
“You must get tired of it,” River said with a little smirk.
“A grown up. Mmhm. I dunno. I’m not the most vanilla when it comes to dancing, just so you know. I just want you to know what you’re getting into.”
gdiciaran:
He wrinkled his nose. “Not about the money. It’s about the art.”
“I know I’m not at that level yet,” he admitted, “but,” he leaned closer, “I’m working on it.”
Ciaran’s gaze roamed down then back up River’s body. “You’ll let me know when you decide, eh?”
“That’s a sweet thing to say. And a naive one,” River huffed, amused.
River raised a quizzical brow, finishing off their cigarette. “We’ll see if you get there,” they said with a flirtatious smirk.
“I’ll be sure to. In the meantime, I’m open to suggestions.”
kyungwonpls:
“Oh,” they smoothed the shirt over their chest, pinching it there with their chin, “I think it’s going to fit perfectly. I’ll wear it tomorrow.” They hugged it again then folded it neatly and set it aside.
“Not unusual,” they agreed, “but practically perfect in every way.” Kyung-won could think of one way it could be even more perfect, but they were they’d been since their first shopping trip with River.
They blushed deeply, biting their lip and nodding. Taking the box, they opened it carefully, not a bit of tape or cardboard out of place, then placed the instrument carefully on their knees. They glanced at them, “heh, Xenia taught me this. I hope you like it.” Awkwardly, tentatively, they played the first few bars of St. Vincent’s “We Put a Pearl in the Ground.
“Awesome. Let’s hope so,” River said with a giggle.
“Cheesy. Cheese-ball. Y’know, some people might get sick of your cheesiness,” River said with a laugh, finidhing off their slice of pizza and laying on the floor, “You’re lucky I’m such a sucker, honestly.”
River tilted their head on the ground, angling it to see Kyung-won better as they opened up the glockenspiel, blinking softly as they started playing a song. River instantly recognized it--even though it was a glock and not a piano, it was hard not to.
“Hey,” they said softly after they finished, “I love that song. That was lovely. You gotta teach me, next.”
curt-hodgkiss:
He dances over to River, grinning. “Hey, I know you,” he has obviously had one too many, or at least almost one too many, and he chuckles. “Don’t you wanna dance? How come everyone is sitting? There is literally music playing right now.”
“I know you too, but that’s probably something you get all the time,” River smiled a little bit, watching Curtis still move to the music.
“I don’t know if you can handle my dancing right now,” they said with a smirk.
gdiciaran:
“I like hip hop just fine, but it’s not my department. It would if I ever worked with someone in hip hop, but now,” he shrugged, indifferent.
“Whoa, you better watch your mouth kid. Thou must not take the name of Nick Drake in vain, honorary member of the Twenty-Seven club, the Van Gogh of singer-songwriting.” He gave them a stern wag of the finger, then grinned.
He raised an eyebrow, suspiciously. “So that’s how it is? What do you want?”
“Mm. Maybe you’ll get lucky and Pharrell will sample you one day. Easiest way to make some money,” they said with a smirk.
“I was just saying, you’re not on that level. Trust me when I say I practically worship the guy,” River said with a smile.
River shrugged. “I dunno. Haven’t decided yet...”
jinsuntbh:
Jin-sun set his jaw, feeling that irritation that was always at the edge of his very being just starting to bubble out, but he had to control his anger. It never got him anywhere. So, he just shrugged, slipping his hands in his jean pockets. “I just have to say a couple words to them,” he said slowly. “I’m not looking for trouble.”
“Well, you should try the library or something I guess. Or come back later,” River said, looking Jin-sun over again. They weren’t sure what his intentions were, and their words weren’t all that promising. Kyung-won was a lot more naive than River and so River didn’t want them getting hurt.
“It better not be anything bad,” River said, tone still unimpressed.
kyungwonpls:
“Of course I won’t get annoyed! Why else would I get it if not for you to play?” They beamed, glowing bright with joy over River’s excitement. Xenia was going to be so happy when they found out how much they liked it.
“Huh? But the cupcakes-?” Kyung-won took the clothes, feeling the fabric between their fingers then holding them up. “Oh, River, these are beautiful! I love it!” They held the shirt to their chest, then hugged it, clearly touched. “These- I- I love them I’m going to wear these all the time.” That fact that River had thought of them while they were out and about meant as much as the clothes.
“I- there’s something else, actually. To go with the glockenspiel. it’s nothing big or anything, um, I just, um,” as they hedged, they smoothed the skirt over their lap, “I learned a piece of music for you.”
River smiled. “You’re nice...” they said in a gentle tone, looking down at their pizza.
They huffed a tiny amused sound. “You made pizza, I bring cupcakes. And we exchange gifts. Not unusual,” they said with a smile, watching as Kyung-won looked over the outfit they’d bought.
“I’m really glad you like ‘em. I hope they fit. If not, I can take them back, no problem...” Not like River could get a refund, but, y’know.
River shook their head happily when Kyung-won mentioned the piece of music. “You’re so fuckin’ cute,” they said with a laugh, “I’d love to hear it. You learned it on the glock?”
curt-hodgkiss:
“Up in the club like-”
River rests their chin in their palm, watching the pop star from the bar. “To think, millions of people swoon for you.”
porter-delaney:
Ohhh, hey, it’s you! I might’ve requested a song from you once or twice now that I think about it, actually. Does Aminals by Baths ring a bell?
River smiled. “Yep, it’s me. Night host of KCRW. Man, more people listen to that shit than I thought,” they laughed a little, and nod, “Hey, yeah. That’s a good track. I like you for suggesting it. Baths is a good dude. He lives in like, Culver City or somethin’. I tried getting him on the show but no one likes coming in at 1 in the morning.”
