summer vibin’ - pt 2

another summer inspired drabble! inspired by an actual taco truck that sits across from a tattoo place and a fireworks tent in my neighborhood. also this song. this time ft clucky, crucy, and jojo

“I think I should get another tattoo.”

Lucky rolls her eyes, and decides to ignore her husband’s comment. She plucks a jalapeno out of the remainder of the nacho supreme, and pops it into her mouth. Clyde eyes the tattoo and piercing parlor just across from them, then glances to Lucky. “I’m thinking Godzilla.” He says and rubs a hand over his strong chest. “Right here.”

“I can guarantee ya I wouldn’t make love to ya ever again.” Lucky replies easily. 

Clyde pouts, but then quickly whistles. “Jojo! Not too far!” He calls out. The three-year old perks up at her father’s voice. Dropping the stick in her hand, she darts back for her parents. Clyde grins, easily lifting her up onto the picnic table. 

“Where’s Aunt Lucy and Unca Craig?” She asks, her voice is squeaky and eager. July 4th was only three days away, and her aunt and uncle were visiting for the weekend. Uncle Craig had made a special promise to pick fireworks with her. Big ones.

“They’ll be here soon, baby-star.” Lucky says, pushing the plate of nachos aside. Jojo sighs dramatically and drops her head on Clyde’s shoulder. She looks over almost longingly to the giant tent not to far off. Banners declaring ‘real fireworks!’ and ‘buy three, get one free!’ hung on the sides.

“Do you want another taco?” Clyde asks, motioning to the food truck called ‘Taco Amigo’ sat parked across the road. Jojo thinks for a moment, but pauses at the sight of a car coming to a stop and two very familiar figures climbing out.

“Aunt Lucy! Unca Craig!” Jojo calls out happily. She jumps off the bench, and takes off.

Lucy smiles widely, kneeling down with arms wide open. Jojo zooms by, jumping into Craig’s arms instead. 

“That’s bull crap” Lucy huffs, standing. Lucky stands, wrapping her arms around Lucy in a long and tight hug.

“Ugh, Charms. My insiiides.” Lucy complains, returning the hug just as tightly. 

Lucky laughs. “I can’t help it, I missed ya.” She says. Clyde and Craig share their own mini reunion with a few quick punches and a ‘your mom’ joke, followed by another punch. Lucy sighs, steering her friend toward the fireworks tent. 

“I missed you too, Charms. Is this still South Park?” She asks, looking around, squinting her eyes a bit. It was one of those rare days, where not a single cloud loomed in the distance and over the mountains. The sun shone freely, and warmed the air.

“I mean, there’s a taco food truck set up close to a fireworks stand and tattoo parlor.” Lucky responds with a shrug. 

Inside the tent, Jojo is pointing the the largest displays of fireworks, tugging on both her dad’s and Craig’s shirts, giving her best puppy eyes to them. Lucy picks up a few packs of sparklers. “Remember when the guys had the bright idea to make fake IDs to buy fireworks?” She asks.

“Yep.” Lucky nods. “Then nearly set fire to the forest at Stark’s.” She adds. 

Lucy laughs. “That was a fun Fourth of July.” She says. “I’m just glad we learned damage control.”

“Somewhat.” Lucky sighs, seeing Clyde cave in and buy the enormous bundle. Craig giving Jojo a sly high-five. “We just gotta keep a fire extinguisher on hand. Maybe two.”

Lucy nods in agreement. “Three, just to be safe.”

my part of a trade with @skittlecanons!! it involves crucy and clucky and secret relationships, and those are my three fave things. i hope it’s alright and you enjoy, bby!

A fro-yo shop wasn't the ideal place for a romantic date, which made it the perfect spot. At least that was the thought.

"Oh, shit." Lucy whispers, ducking her head down, hoping in vain that the large plastic pink fro-yo cup would disguise her. "Clyde and Lucky are here. Craig, don't just sit there. You're drawing attention!"

"You're the one drawing attention." Craig points out dryly. "I'm just sitting here. Like a normal person, enjoying ice cream's ugly cousin."

Lucy eyes her him for a moment, before sitting up, keeping her shoulders slouched slightly. "Asshole."

"Mmhm."

While it was no secret to them that they were dating, it was a secret to everyone else. It just wasn't something they wanted spread around, at least not yet. People had a way of twisting the most simple things like a fresh and new relationship into something ridiculous, just to satisfy their gossip line. It was better, for now, just to keep it under wraps...even from friends.

It gnawed at Lucy's gut.

Across the shop, Clyde's line of gaze fell on Craig and Lucy. His eyes widening for a moment, before he spun around to Lucky, blocking her away.

"Lucks, don't look now. But Craig and Lucy, they're here too." He whispers, two tones below shouting. Lucky peeks around her boyfriend's broad frame and winces. 

The same guilt that gnawed at Lucy, had the same bite on Lucky. 

She had yet to tell Lucy, or anyone that she and Clyde were a couple with the same concern for the twisted gossip they could face.

"Just act normal, Sugar. Ya know casual." Lucky says much more quietly.

"Besides, frozen yogurt is a treat everyone likes."

"I don't like it." Clyde points out, filling his cup with chocolate pieces and other candy toppers. Lucky blows out a huff and shakes her head.

"Act casual." She repeats.

When Clyde and Lucky finish paying for their treats, Lucy can't help but wave them over. It's almost like a reflex. Craig mumbles something like 'way to not draw attention, Luce', and she only replies by batting the toe of her sneaker to his shin.

"Charms! Clydester!" Lucy calls, ignoring the roll of Craig's eyes. "Didn't take you for a fro-yo man." 

"I'm not." Clyde insists, showing his cup of candy. Lucky smiles, dropping into the seat next to Lucy. 

"I thought it'd be a nice way to congratulate him on getting a B in History and this is the thanks I get. Anyway what brings y'all around here?" Lucky asks, swirling her fro-yo around. Craig fishes out his phone, wordlessly typing against the screen. 

"Uhh." Lucy begins. Hoping a believable reason would come to her. Clyde's phone buzzes against the table top. "Just...pff, celebrating the past games we both had. I know we got our asses handed to us, that's beside the point." Lucy finally answers.

"Dude, AS IF." Clyde suddenly bellows. His voice carries impressively through the small fro-yo shop, and if it hadn't been for Stacey Q's Two of Hearts playing on the radio, an odd sort of silence would've fell over the place.

Craig lifts a brow, almost challenging at Clyde. Only after the color returns to Lucky's face- a bright red blush, she speaks up "Ya alright there, Clyde?"

"He-" Clyde starts but stops himself, clearing his throat. "Yeah. I'm alright."  His thumbs fumble quickly over the keyboard of his phone, his mouth silently forming the word 'fucker'

Craig's phone vibrates, followed by a very quiet snort.

Lucy and Lucky both knew what was coming. Most likely a trip to the 24 hour clinic. While they had their relationships under wraps- something they hoped to finally share sooner or later. It was no secret the way Craig and Clyde challenged one another. In the most ridiculous things possible. Both Craig and Clyde declared its what drew the girls to them. 

Well, at least they like to think so.
