Sunday Snippet

(From chapter 2 of 'it just ain't proper'. Posting for accountability reasons - this chapter ran away from me but I'm determined to get it finished before the end of the month!)

“So, how did you meet Theo?”

Wille glances up as if shocked by the question, licking the grease from his fingers, and Simon wants to kick himself.  He’s got this wrong again, hasn’t he?  You’re probably not supposed to ask about the boyfriend of the guy you’re fucking.

He wishes there was someone he could talk to about what the etiquette is here.  Or some kind of instruction manual. ‘How to navigate someone else’s open relationship when you’re the person on the outside of it For Dummies’.

But Wille is smiling at him pleasantly enough after the initial surprise, answering the question with a shrug.  “I know this might sound terrible, but…I don’t really remember?  His friend group got tangled up with mine at some point I think, early on in my first year, and I kept seeing him around at parties and that.  We got chatting, I guess, then one night we hooked up when we were both drunk.  Sort of rubbed along together ever since.”  He grins.  “So to speak.”

It's not the most romantic story Simon has ever heard.  Almost disappointing, really, though he’s not sure why.  It’s not like he knows Wille very well, maybe he’s just not a romantic guy.  It feels like an oddly dismissive way to talk about what is, presumably, a long-term, loving relationship though.  They’d seemed so fond of each other.

Still, none of his business.

Wille’s still talking, apparently oblivious to Simon’s churning thoughts, telling him how he’s mostly drifted away from his own original friend group and towards Theo’s circle now.

“I’d never had that before,” he says quietly, throwing the crust of his final slice onto the table and turning to face Simon, head propped up on one elbow.  “Like being part of a crowd where everyone was…queer, I guess.  If I can say that.”

“Why shouldn’t you?”

There’s a beat before he replies, smile faded now and a trace of sadness in his eyes.  “Not sure I’ve earned the right.”

In retrospect: it was a good idea to attempt to anneal the rivets for my chainmail so they weren't a blend of soft and hard. However, I probably should have remembered that they were oiled, and when you put fire on oil, it burns off.

you know that lyrics from Violet, "go on take everything take everything I want you to" imagine kitty and beth having a night cap together at home post band practice not unlike the time they first met and beth brought kitty home, maybe they're both a bit drunk, tipsy, they're sitting on the settee, probably closes than they used to, their thighs touching each other. they're laughing at something, probably over something their bandmates did during the practice or after practice at jess' pub holly being flustered when a woman flirting with her. "hol's so easy, her face!" kitty lets out a laugh when recalling.

"you do love flirting with her," said beth, smiling into her glass when she takes a sip.

"aw babe, are you jealous? I flirt with you all the time." kitty wiggles her eyebrows, which gets a small laugh out of beth.

"you flirt with everyone, except maybe yvonne." beth frowns. "or was it?"

"was it what?" kitty finishes her drink in one gulp. she puts the empty glass on the coffee table then leans back, one hand resting behind beth, on the back of the settee.

beth turns slightly to look at kitty. "flirting. with yvonne. though you looked like you were going to bite each other's head off."

"maybe." kitty grins. "both can be truth."

beth rolls her eyes but she can't stop the corners of her mouth quirking up.

beth turns her head back to front. they sit in silent for a while. then kitty starts humming the melody of Violet, the song that sang by kitty like a siren that had lured beth into a pub. they did practise the song just now, beth asked if kitty was willing to add this song as one of their covers for the next gig. kitty hesitated, considering the circumstances that drove her to belting her heart out with that song. but it also got her beth. and with beth looking at her like that, with such expectations, kitty didn't want to disappoint her.

and it's a good decision. it felt different, singing that song with her bandmates, with beth. definitely felt better than last time.

maybe it's the drinks, maybe it's the adrenaline after having a good practice, whatever it is, it shifts something between them.

it also makes kitty feel bolder. the humming changes into singing the lyrics, like she is whispering a secret. she slowly tucks a stray hair behind beth's ear, then runs her hand on the shoulder and all the way down beth's back. kitty can feels beth's breathing changes under her palm.

"might last a day, ay, mine is forever, mm-mmmm-mm-mmmm" kitty hums instead of her usual belting out that last bit. "when they get what they want and they never want it again" she sings in a slow beat, her hand goes back to touching the end of beth's hair.

her hand touches the skin of the neck. beth puts down her drink before turning around to face kitty. beth's thigh pressing into kitty's more. her hands still gently smoothing the hair near the nape of beth's neck.

"go on take everything, take everything I want you to" almost sounds like a plea, kitty looks into beth's blue blue eyes when she sings it, until those blue blue eyes flicker down staring at kitty's lips.

"go on take everything, take everything I dare you t-"

and beth crashes her lips on kitty's, it feels pretty violent but in a good way. kitty wants it again, doesn't mind if it gets more violent, as long as she gets to feel beth weight on her, all soft and urgent.

kitty wants it to last forever.

They should put an exercise where they test the misfits on how they will be like if they all start living together

At first its chaos then it'll probably be calm and now they lowkey dont want to leave the house and just wanna start living together.

One of the punishments they have if they dont do their chores is being part of kuromu's evidol life (crossdressing) and they have to send their photos to their families afterward (well except jazz or smth where they all collectively dont like the family of one of Theirs).

The girls lowkey rule the house solely because the boys are still boys and dont really want to bother the girls when theyre enjoying the lives and also iruma is still King(unknowingly or unknowingly).

Also they have a hallway and areas dedicated to their photos like a museum, with the music festival performance being one of the main highlights as well as their first photo in getting the Royal One.(ngl they hunted down all class photos while also ensuring Soi is inside and decorating their place with them)

Though they technically should not be getting extra help since this is a test, its not as serious as the harvest festival so they have a chef at the very least to help with Iruma's monstrous apetite. But thats it(although they all start pitching in on cooking and slowly the chef start appearing less and less during the test, though he comes back after the test is over because iruma just....alot of food is needed lmao)

They have an anti-amy kirio poster where he is On SightTM. Iruma disagrees but they rlly dont like this creepy dude. And somehow they started to (accidentally) have more knowledge or data on the Six Fingers then anyone else (not that they know. They were just keeping track of Kirio and whoever is may be with because they might go after iruma). And when Iruma gets kidnapped at one point and they all disappear to find him, the adults have no choice but to raid their house to look for possible info. We get a tour of their Misfits Museum, their trophy room, a portrait they all had gotten done together, a portrait with them in their EviDol EraTM and of course, stumbling upon their special room dedicated to keeping track of Kirio (and the Six Fingers in relation). They were actually being led by Ameri, one of the few that visits them as regularly as possible because of Iruma and her Girl Friends.
