CHEEKS I BEG U

me? talk about steven meeks and charlie dalton??? the biggest power couple of all time????? never

-consider: a certain mr. charles dalton realizes about halfway through eighth grade that the ginger boy in his science class who raises his hand way too much is the love of his life

-yes, he may be 13 and yes, he may have sworn that after abigail wharton broke his heart in the third grade he would never love again

-however, this does not stop him from decidedly telling neil that they need to make meeks a part of the study group, because “this is the most important thing i may ever do, neil, c’mon, please”

-the whole issue with steven being a boy is half repressed, and half ignored as irrelevant, because really, doesn’t that just mean that charlie won’t have to deal with all that dumb girl stuff like clothes and makeup and hair??

-(charlie’s fascination with all three of those things ironically manifests mere months later but anyways)

-neil goes along because charlie is his best friend and even though he’s not sure where the sudden fascination’s come from, steven seems nice and conveniently fills most of the knowledge gaps that the rest of the group hasn’t been able to

-the first time the boy in his class invites him to study, steven’s a bit startled, if only because the kid- charlie, is that his name?- is the last person he would expect to be part of a study group

-charlie’s been scolded and carted off to detention for his mouth and his inability to keep still so many times that steven has to actively think about the last time he made it a whole class without being hauled to the front of the room or out the door

-but he meets him in the common room at six o’clock anyways, and within ten minutes it’s like he’s been best friend with the boys at the table for his entire life

-(it helps that charlie’s sitting next to him, cracking jokes and slinging an arm around him and occasionally reaching over to adjust his glasses or ruffle his hair)

-(he’s never been the touchiest but for some reason he doesn’t mind this dark-haired ball of energy making so much casual contact)

-meanwhile, charlie’s losing his mind and hoping steven doesn’t notice because since when do things go this well for him

-he’s shooting “can you believe this” glances at neil every thirty seconds and knox is starting to take notice that charlie’s practically vibrating with nervous energy

-and even after an entire semester’s worth of study groups, charlie’s no less attentive to steven than he was the first time

-he thankfully has a genuine reason (charlie is far from academic and meeks by some miracle is patient enough to help him with every one of the many frustrations he has with his assignments), and so the energy is funneled into a more subtle channel, but he still spends 90% of each meeting with his eyes and attention directed fully at meeks

-for his part, meeks realizes that he gets more attention than the others, but it’s not until charlie’s hands start folding over his under the table, or his eyes meet his own every time he glances up from a textbook, that he loses the assumption that it’s purely out of academic motive

-in their freshman year, he tentatively suggests that he and charlie have a one-on-one tutoring session that weekend- they spend four hours in an empty classroom, talking about everything except the assignment they’d agreed to work on 

-by the time todd arrives at welton, they’ve been holding “tutoring sessions” for more weekends than either of them can count

-when he sees neil watching todd in keating’s class, charlie knows exactly what he’s thinking- steven had put that exact same expression on charlie’s face years ago

Anything cheeks 💖💖💖

you’re a hero have a modern high school au thing- ok so i could write this about all the boys but we’re just gonna focus on charlie and meeks - so our boy mr dalton is DEFINITELY a soccer kid™ - it’s the one thing his parents forced him into that he remotely likes and he’s made it his life goal to commit so hard that his parents are constantly suffering because of it- the look of horror on his mom’s face when he walks around the house in mud-caked cleats would be enough to keep him playing forever but ANYWAYS- he’s the #1 Flirt (knox would have that title, but a) he can’t flirt and b) he never tries with anyone but chris) and he takes full advantage of the title- because let’s face it the boy knows he’s hot and he’s not going to let anyone else forget it either- making people swoon is his #1 pastime but it means very little to him past short-term validation and gratification- despite all this though everybody knows charlie isn’t hooking up with anyone but his boyfriend because he and steven have been together since they were paired up in freshman bio- charlie was full-on heart eyes head over heels from the start - as much as meeks won’t admit it he was the exact same way- (the one time he admits this to charlie he has to throw a pen at him because the response was “i knew it….. nobody can resist the Dalton Charm”)- they’re the couple that talks shit about each other to their faces and then gushes about one another to everyone else- meeks to charlie: “you’re an idiot”  meeks to literally anyone else: “he’s so talented and kind and hardworking and-”- they also have this tradition of meeks baking something the day of charlie’s soccer games- sometimes it’s really lavish and over the top (ex: the three-tier cake meeks made when the team made state finals) but a good amount of the time it’s just stuff like banana bread or blueberry muffins or cake from a box- charlie swears up and down that the banana bread specifically guarantees a win anytime meeks makes it- charlie also swears that he plays better if meeks wears his varsity jacket on game days- he’s gotten more than a couple talkings-to from captains and coaches for not wearing his jacket with the rest of the team but he refuses to change it no matter how much he’s “disrespecting team spirit”- meeks isn’t the only one supporting his bf though because anytime he wins any sort of academic honor or any time he’s got a huge assignment due charlie is right there cheering him on - the amount of meltdowns charlie has talked him down from is too high a number to keep track of and meeks is sure he’s never had a better study partner than charlie even if they’re on totally different levels academically- also, consider: the two of them drunk at some house party dancing dirtier than anyone else there because neither of them have any inhibition whatsoever when they’ve got alcohol in their systems and they both work way too hard to not party just as hard

a dps skater au

because @frvdweasley and i were discussing and now i can’t stop thinking about it (most of these are direct copy/pasted from our conversation)

- so consider: todd anderson, quiet aspiring journalist, sent to get a story on a group of local competitive skateboarding celebrities

- neil is the golden boy because he's been on the skate scene since he was a kid and anyways who couldn't love that face

- charlie does the stupid risky tricks because he thinks he looks cooler with a bloody nose or busted lip anyway

- meeks fixes boards and makes sure they're as smooth as possible and turn on a dime (he’s also a good skater in his own right just not anything super extreme)

- knox is lowkey a bit of a groupie but it's chill because he can skate decently and does it mostly for the culture of it all

- pitts is That Guy who "retired" real young because he kicked ass but got tired of asshole dudes at competitions and now he just does it for kicks and to hang out with his boys

- (he also brings snacks and is more than willing to beat up the shit-talking dudes because they’re stupid and also he’s taken enough of their garbage for everyone)

- chris noel is the one girl on the team and she smokes pretty much everyone in every event she enters

- keating runs the local skate shop that the boys practically live at, he gives them competition advice and tells them stories from when he used to skate (also gives them first crack at the best new gear but it’s on the dl because he needs other business besides a bunch of broke teenage boys)

- they call themselves the dead poets bc "it's poetry on wheels.....also the way dalton fuckin does it is bound to get someone killed"

- charlie before every time he skates: "i’m here for a good time not a long time"

- knox is always like "he looks so good with helmet hair....don't you guys think he looks good with helmet hair??"

- (the object of the ‘he’ is irrelevant seeing as he’ll say it about pretty much every single one of the boys...it’s also a ‘she’ that applies to chris just as often)

- however he gets Frustrated if his own hair isn’t fixed in 3.5 seconds

- pitts has to teach him how to skate bc the first time he tried it (all the while bragging about how good he was) he toppled over two seconds in

- pitts also teaches little kids because he prefers passing on the knowledge to fighting for celebrity and trophies

- meeks is the one out of all of them that can take a hell of a lot of cuts and bruises

- good thing too because when he wipes out he wipes out hard

- he gets shit from all the boys about it: “hey meeks what was that you said about that board being unflippable since you fixed it???” “shut the FUCK UP neil perry i swear to GOD”

- the man has the grace of a baby bird and it’s especially bad when he’s not on a board 

- like he can actually skate but the minute he tries to use his own two legs on the ground instead of wheels it all falls apart

- when todd tries out skating for the first time he falls flat on his face

- he’d only done it because neil had told him he wasn’t getting an interview from any of them unless he tried to skate himself

- (of course neil had only said that because he thought todd was cute and he wanted him to stick around a little longer)

- todd stands up shaky and wiping at his eyes and neil rushes over immediately because it’s an excuse to get closer to him

- charlie gets jealous because it’s one of HIS boys and now dumb blond magazine guy is coming and stealing him

- when meeks sees charlie being Extra he pulls him aside like “you’re being a baby shut up we all know you’re jealous” 

- charlie thankfully listens otherwise he might’ve gone and tried to pull some stupid trick to show off

- also: neil walking todd around on a skateboard, pulling him in slow circles by holding his hands while todd stands on the board

- saying things like “see this isn’t so bad” and “you’re not gonna fall again i promise”

While you're at it, you should probably look up the Wikipedia page for the Inedia diet.

I had to make sure that that wasn't already a stupid breed of dog.
