I’ve said this before but I love the council. Not like the point of their characters and descent into corruption but their backstory. Call me crazy but the new renegades book being a prologue would be sooo dope cuz wdym a group of teenagers assembled an army against literally the whole world and then won. That’s some aura right there.
i want the sequel series to 1. Have nova & simon moments cuz og trilogy was severely LACKING 2. maggie & hugh pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease it's similar to nova & hugh BUT HITS DIFFERENT IT HITS DIFFERENT ITS DIFFERENT ENOUGH THAT IT'D BE SUCH GOOD ANGST POTENTIAL it's been implied that
Maggie has TALKED to hugh before, cuz she got orders from the council, but him FINDING OUT this KID has been the infant that he previously thought was murdered because of them, and ALSO went unidentified because of HIS blunder, this kid who's KNOWN this for YEARS!!!!!!!! It's differennnttttttttttttttttttttttt
It's been forever since I read Renegades last but I can't stop thinking about how Max was in the quarantine at headquarters and people just. Didn't know why. Bc it was "top secret information." So people just knew Simon and Hugh were his dads. And he was just. There.
Imagine you go into work and your boss's son is in a cage and no one can tell you why. Like huh

Also morning breath? She doesn't exist here.
Lying there for the past 5 minutes was a very awake Hugh. Simon was on his phone, Hugh spooning him from behind feigning his sleep to not have to get up.
Because him getting up ment Simon getting up. Then they would both have to go to work where they would be separated all day.
On his birthday.
You're supposed to get everything you want on your birthday, right?
I just want to lie here with him.
Hugh felt Simon reach over to put his phone on the nightstand beside him, then settled back into Hugh’s embrace. On instinct Hugh tightened his hold, nuzzling his face into Simon's hair.
There was a slight chuckle from his husband, who turned over in his arms to face him.
Damn, he was found out.
“Here I was thinking you slept in.” Hugh opened his eyes to a smiling Simon. Best image to ‘wake up’ too. Simon then leaned down and kissed Hugh, “Happy Birthday, Hon,” He whispered into his mouth before deeping their kiss.
When they finally pulled apart Hugh groaned in frustration, “I really don’t want to work today.” He pulled his pillow over his face, like ‘hiding’ himself would do anything.
Simon laughed again, “Aren't you the one who said you didn’t wan’t your birthday to be different from any other day. Aside from a cake.”
“I was asked in front of important judgy people. I wanted to seem like a mature adult.” Hugh said, muffled.
That earned a snort from Simon.
Hugh tossed the pillow aside, “What? I can be mature.”
“I didn’t say you couldn’t,” Simon replied, biting his lip to suppress a smile.
Hugh rolled his eyes, “It's my birthday! You're not supposed to bully me. Where's my unconditional love?”
“You said you don't want your birthday to-” Simon started again, but was cut off hrom Hugh sitting up and hitting him with the pillow from before, knocking him over.
“I admit my dumb mistake.” Hugh sighed, “I want today to be all about me-”
“Like it usually isn’t?” Simon cut him off, rolling his eyes, going back into a sitting position.
“Shush, no bullying.”
“I literally just got attacked and abused-”
“ANYWAY! I don’t want to work today.” Hugh flopped back on his back, “Stay with me?”
Simon rolled his eyes again, “We can’t-”
“Baby please!”
“Because I planned a nice day for you.” Simon finished sitting on top of his husband.
Hugh blinked in confusion and Simon leaned down to give him another kiss, “You think I don't know my own husband. Like I wouldnt clear out today for you and our family to do something nice for your birthday? Which I know you like to celebrate.”
Hugh opened his mouth to say something, but Simon beat him to it, “I know, I know! I'm amazing! I love me too. Now get up.”
Simon climbed off of Hugh lap and walked to the bathroom. Hugh watched him with awe the whole time, a smile unable to leave his lips.
When Simon came back out, he shot Hugh a look that finally got him out of bed, “So what exactly are we doing today?” Hugh asked his husband, who was holding up a shirt to himself, looking in the mirror.
“Brunch with Kasumi, Evander and Tamaya. Lunch with Adrian and Max at H.Q and Dinner, me and you.” He tossed the shirt aside, not liking it and grabbed another one, “If you're ok with that?”
Hugh pulled Simon into a hug from behind, “That's perfect, My love.” Simon wiggled his hips in Hugh hold, “And anything and everything in between is all up to you,” Simon hummed.
Hugh met Simon's eyes in the mirror, both mischievous and excited.
“Anything and everything?” Hugh said, leaning down to kiss Simon’s neck.
“That's what I said…”
“...something sweet?…so delicious…” Hugh murmured into his neck.
“Whatever you want,” Simon huffed.
Hugh straightened himself and spun Simon around, “So I can have some of the cake right now, for breakfast?”
Simon blinked up at him, “Huh?”
“I want cake. What were you thinking?” Hugh grinned, he may regret this later, but it was his birthday. He was allowed to play around.
Simon lightly hit Hugh’s chest, “I hate you,” he groaned.
Hugh laughed, kissing the top of Simon’s head, “Unconditional love today, remember?”
