locked,
[ And so Charlie Jo’s stormed off, and to give you some context. The setting: Rivera household. Yes, it's time to bend Miguel's Party-- or the broger’s woes at least.
And Charlie's just seent Male!Merry with Male!Teagan.
And in case you didn't know, he's pissed. Upset. Don't bother Cj. Don't because you're going to get your head ripped off, or a cigarette butt thrown at you--LIT EVEN, or maybe even a punch to the face.
If only this would have been said to the girl twin, because, the sliding door which leads to the outside pool area, is being opened.
And she's being met with a clump of dirt in her hair.
Yes, Charlie, like the five-year-old we will know him to be has thrown a clump of dirt at Bo's face, and it's caught in her hair.
So there is a shooting death glare at Charlie Jo with a cigarette in his hand and a fresh new cup of booze in the other and even if he looks as though she could light the pool on fire with her eyes, Bo approaches with a slap to the back of his head. And he's quick to rub it, once Bo's sitting safely beside him.]
The fuck do you want?
[ A hand is run through her curls in attempt to rid her strands of air of dirt.] To be a friend–talk to you about the stuff I think is going on. Finally. After that display, actually, I’m positively certain I know what’s going on.
[ A puff of smoke in the air.] Then do fucking tell.
Something happened between you and my brother. You kissed, or slept together, or told each how you felt, or maybe it was just another big fight, but you two are different. Everyone sees it.
What gives you that fucked up notion?
You two haven’t hung out in weeks. You didn’t hang out with him at his show, and when you did it was like for a second. And I get it, you had birthday present to tend to, but you've never ditched him like that. [ A pause.] You’ve been moody, and productive which is something I’ve never known you to do. And this whole celibacy cleanse you’ve been about… And even if my k e t t l e twin isn’t the best in my eyes, why the fuck are you mad, Pot?
So since something’s going on between you and Hanson, that means something’s got to be going on between me and him, right? Is that your conclusion? Projection at its finest.
[ And so she holds her hand out for that cigarette because share with her goddamnit.] Nothing’s going on with me and Hanson. And if there is I don't know anything about it. Last I checked he hates my guts--enough to drag me out of the coffee shop pretty much by my hair.
Then why's he asking about you in every fucking conversation? He was staring at you all night. He has something of yours that he wants to give back. He seems very adamant about it. It’s annoying. And he’s been weird when you and Ronnie are in the same room.
[ So there’s a silence, and now Bo is 100% certain he should speak with Hanson about things because she’s been completely oblivious about this REAL TALK.] You’re exaggerating. I haven’t spoken to Hanson in days. Well except for just now, and it was about you. And I don't count that as having ~something~ other than a best fucking friend in common. And I’ve only been avoiding him because like I said he hates me. Your turn. Honesty time. [ But lbr her heart is flutterin at the thought aw, hanson love ME.]
[ So a sigh, and a groan, and a moan, and if you think female Charlie Jo is bad with words, take that and times it by two because Male!Cj is worse duh.]
We only kissed. Or rather, I kissed him, while he sat like a blue-eyed stone-fox in the headlights. Then we argued because of it. Then I told him how I felt but I had to take it back because I guess we both came to the conclusion that I’m not meant for ~dating, especially not your twin.
Harsh, but it’s true. Neither of us is meant for that.
[ And Cj's frustration shows with his hands in his face, but pull them away and woah, nelly, that’s callousness.]
How are two people meant to stay together for the rest of their lives?
Well, for one, I think you’re supposed to stay out of closets with other guys, but other than that I’d say don’t come to me with dating advice. [ There is a puff of smoke, and she hands the stick back to Charlie.] But, if both of our parents did it. It’s not too illogical, right?
I can’t see myself doing it. Sure, HE is the only person I’d ever want to see myself doing that with, but–
So try. There's no harm in it. We can both try. If you think Hanson's interested I’d give it a shot. And fuck, even with the fuckery that's happened in there, I'd say pretty confidently that my brother is always interested. [A very nonchalant shrug to hide her iNTEREST IN DOING SO.] And if we fail, then so what. We’ll have each other to bitch to about it.
What the fuck do you mean try? Carrot top’s dating your cousin.
For now. What’s your excuse? Brother dear isn’t dating anyone, yet. But I’m not sure if tomorrow that’ll change.
He doesn’t deserve me. He doesn’t deserve someone who isn’t willing to try. –someone who doesn’t understand the concept. It’s fucking useless, and it’s why He’s– [An eye roll, and a thROUGH GRITTED TEETH.] making out with someone else.
Yeah, well Hanson was doing the same, if not more with my slutty ass cousin. So my life sucks more than yours.
