Ok B U T— the guys aggressively singing Hamilton after Julie showed it to them.
They’ll be just doing nothing and one of them (probably Luke) screams “YO YO YO YO YO, WHAT TIME IS IT?!” and the other two go “SHOWTIME” and proceed to perform the entire musical.
the fact that people can hear them when they sing.... The whole neighborhood would be like “Who’s performing the ENTIRE MUSICAL at 3AM??????”
YESssss

Flustering Each Other (a JatP fanfic)
A/N: Before we begin I'd like to shout out this post by @spacecatlady which first inspired my fic.
Word count: 1661
Pairing: Luke x Reggie
As the band performs their gig, Reggie is lost in the music and the boy in front of him. He's in his own world, jamming with this mesmerizing- ow!
His mouth barrels into the mic and it hits a few of his teeth. He just keeps playing like nothing happened. Luke's voice quivers on the notes as he tries to suppress laughter.
When Alex's drum solo comes, Luke lowers his microphone and keeps his hand on top it. He then uses his other hand to cup Reggie's jaw. His thumb uncovers the teeth and he inspects them.
"I'm fine," Reggie mumbles.
"Thought so," Luke says, "just needed to see if I need to update the description in our song."
This is met with an indignant scoff from Reggie. Though when Luke retracts his hand he wants to bring it back to him. Maybe his mouth does need to be checked. But Luke's hands go to his guitar. Reggie follows suit like he's supposed to. He may miss a few notes in his daze, but who will notice?
Luke. Partly because of how close he's standing, and his extensive musical knowledge. He's also the last person Reggie wants to catch it since he will never let him live this down. Ever.
The song ends and the three boys proof backstage. "Great show! We rocked it! Whoo!" Luke exclaims. Him and Alex high five. Reggie leans back and admires his excited puppy face.
"Reggie's face was sacrificed in the process," Alex quips, "but it's not like there was much to sacrifice anyway."
Reggie pouts at him. "That hurts more than my accident."
"So it hurts then?" Luke asks him, stepping closer.
His heart speeds and his brain slows. He can only stutter in response. "Nah, it...it's a-okay! I-"
"Here, I've got just the thing to help with that." Luke presses a gentle peck to Reggie face, right where he was hit. Luke winks at him and walks away.
As the boy thumbs through his song book, Reggie can't help but stare. He subtly touches where Luke kissed him. An idea hits him, and it won't be the last thing to.
"Alex," he whispers, "hit me." He points to the mic and his lips.
"Why would I do that?"
"For me saying something stupid."
"...You're right."
Alex whacks him on the mouth with his microphone.
"Ow!"
Luke looks up, bemused. "Why'd you do that for?"
"He said something stupid." Alex explains.
"What'd he say?"
"He told me to hit him in the face with a microphone." Alex informs him.
Reggie glares at the traitor.
Suddenly, a hand turns his head and a pair of lips are on his. He melts into the kiss.
Luke pulls away, but his hand lingers on the nape of Reggie's neck. "Better?" he asks.
"Much..." Reggie breathes.
"Get a room!" Alex shouts, cupping his hands into a megaphone around his mouth.
"Next time you're with Willie..." Luke tells him.
"We will show you no mercy." Reggie finishes.
As if summoned, Willie strolls into backstage. "Hey, great show. I especially liked that drum solo." He smiles at Alex. "Best part of the set."
"Did ya hear that, Luke?"
"Why yes I did, Reg. The drums were his favorite."
"Why do you reckon that is?"
"Your childish taunts don't work on me." Alex says, but immediately takes Willie and disappears. Willie waves goodbye and Reggie waves back.
Luke drapes his arm around Reggie's shoulders and pulls him into his side. "Wanna go bug Julie?"
Reggie smiles at him. "Always."
After they've had their fun they poof back to the studio. "I'm gonna go change my shirt." Luke says. He pulls off his shirt and rifles through his clothes.
Reggie watches him. There's been some changes lately. Not that him gazing at shirtless Luke is one of them. Looking back, whenever he'd change his shirt in front of him Reggie would look at him. And if he got interrupted or distracted, he'd immediately return his eyes back to Luke. Maybe he should have realized some things sooner. Hey, you know what they say, hindsight is twenty-twenty!
Reggie fidgets with the pink, purple, and blue bracelet Julie and Flynn made him. He's happy how things have evolved.
Luke replaces his tank top with a sleeveless tee. Some things never change. "Reggie..." Luke waves his hand in front of his face. "Reggie!" he calls.
"Hm, yes, what?" he shakes his head.
Luke smirks at him. "When you keep getting distracted like this, it's no wonder you got hit in the face."
Reggie pouts. "I hate you."
"Sure you do."
"I hate you more than you hate wearing shirts with sleeves."
"Don't we all hate when I do that?" Luke flexes his arms.
"Uh, I...you-" Reggie gulps, "we should watch Star Wars!" he flops onto the couch and grabs Julie's laptop.
Luke decides to have mercy. "Yeah, let's do it." He sits right next to him. "The originals?"
"Actually, let's watch the ones that have came out since we died." Reggie tells him. "I think I'm ready." His fingers tap the keys.
Luke wraps his arm around him. "Okay, if you're sure." he says warily.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Reggie says with a determined nod. He finds the movies.
"That's cool," Luke says "how'd you learn to do this stuff?"
"I've picked up a few things from watching Ray." Reggie explains. He presses play and they snuggle in closer.
When they get to The Force Awakens, Luke takes Reggie's hand and gives a gentle squeeze. "It's this one, isn't it?" Reggie states. "Where he..." he trails off. Luke just plants a kiss on his knuckles.
When that scene starts, Luke's eyes drift to Reggie. His eyes are glued to the screen, even when tears build in them. As the tears spill, Luke squeezes his hand three times. His free hand strokes Reggie's arm soothingly. He stares at his face and fights his own tears at the sight. He loses that fight. He holds him tight, still stroking him comfortingly.
They spend the rest of the night watching the movies. When the last one finishes, sunlight is coming through the window. "That was fun. Thanks for watching them with me." Reggie says.
Luke smiles at him. "Of course."
"We should watch them with Alex at some point- hey, where is Alex?" Reggie questions.
"Maybe he's still with Willie?"
"Maybe. I'm gonna ask Julie if she's seen him, be right back." Reggie poofs out.
He appears outside her bedroom and knocks on the door. Boundaries and stuff. "Come in." Julie says. Reggie phases through the door. Sitting on the bed are Julie, Flynn, and the man himself: Alex.
"Is another one of the guys here?" Flynn asks.
"Yeah, it's Reggie." Julie tells her.
"Hi, Reggie!" Flynn says, waving in his general direction.
"Hi, Flynn!" he waves back.
"He says hi." Julie tells her. "What's up?" she asks him.
"I was gonna ask if you've seen Alex, but I got my answer."
"Yeah, when I came home I saw you and Luke and decided not to interrupt." Alex explains.
"Then we invited him to join our sleepover." Julie adds.
"Cool," he sits on the bed, "whatcha doing?"
"I was about to do Flynn's makeup. She just did mine." Julie tells him. She's wearing glittery eyeshadow and matching nail polish.
"Ooh, sparkly." Then Reggie notices Alex's nails, painted a light pink. Alex quickly tucks his them into his pockets.
"Can I see?" Reggie asks softly, pointing towards his hands. Alex slowly brings them out. Reggie holds one up and looks at it.
"The girls, uh, practiced on me." he explains.
"Could've fooled me," Reggie says, "doesn't look like they needed practice." He looks up at Alex. "These look awesome." The corner of Alex's mouth subtly lifts up.
Julie is now doing Flynn's makeup and whispering something to her. Reggie looks through the makeup stuff piled in the middle of the bed. The eyeliner reminds him of all those cool guys that would wear it. They looked like such rock stars, though he's never worn it.
"Wanna try it?" Julie asks, picking up the black eyeliner. He realizes that he was staring at it, and she's talking to him.
"Ooh, you would look so good in eyeliner! Ya know, when people can see you." Flynn tells him.
"Uh, okay. Sure." Reggie agrees. Julie starts to put it on him. Flynn goes on about how good it'll go with his aesthetic and Alex gives him an encouraging smile.
Julie sets the makeup down and tousles Reggie's hair. "Done, you look great!"
"Thanks, Jul-"
There's a knock on the door. "Come in." Julie says.
"Hey, guys." Luke's voice greets. "Reggie seems to have gotten so distracted talking to you that he forgot he was supposed to be right back." he teases.
"It's Luke, isn't it? I wish I could see his reaction." Flynn says.
"Reaction to what?" Luke questions. Reggie gets up and turns to face him.
Luke's mouth is suddenly agape. Then he takes in a sharp breath. Reggie is getting worried-
"You look hot." Luke blurts. He clears his throat. "It- it looks good."
"Getting major deja vu vibes, but with Luke getting flustered this time." Alex says. "Though to be fair, I think he was last time too. He even did that gasp thing then."
"Wait, what other time?" Julie questions.
"What are you guys talking about?" Flynn grabs Julie and starts shaking her. "Fill me in!"
"Oh god, not again." Julie mutters. She holds Flynn still. "We will. But first, let's do a song so Reggie's new look is visible to you!" They all rush to the garage. Luke can't keep his eyes off Reggie the whole song. When they finish Flynn gives a standing ovation. She compliments Reggie and teases Luke. They all gather on the pull out and reminisce. Any flustered objections from Luke and Reggie to the validity of statements are ignored.
This is the first time anyone has been inspired to write a fic by one of my posts and I am honored! It's so good!
Today’s aesthetic: keeping the same tab open in your browser for three solid weeks because you’re definitely going to get around to reading and/or acting on whatever’s in it any minute now.
This is a personal attack.
idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com
Ground control to major tom…
So long space cowboy
do you ever just crave domesticity? to coming home to a partner, meld into them like you do your bed after a long day, soak your mind in the serenity of theirs like a warm bath to soothe the knots in your body, wrap yourself in their warmth and just fucking sigh from pure comfort
Like, I actually get to do this?? I've been married over two years and it's amazing???
But like, I also I didn't find my husband until I was at a point that I had given up on happiness and I just want you people out there to know that there is no expiration date on finding your person.
