This was not great and Lena knew it. Her emotions had been running high but more than anything she needed to talk to both of her brothers about what she was feeling-- especially when it came to everything that had happened since she had gotten home. She’d come prepared though, a bottle of vodka in her hand as Lena knocked on Leo’s door. “Hey. Uh-- please tell me you have no life tonight and are willing to hang out with your dear ol’ sis?”
after their day at the pool , ariel had tried her best to avoid this . clearing her head was far too difficult after the possible realization that she might actually have feelings for her best friend . they’d been friends for ages –– since they were children . and it took her moving back home after years away to get this idea in her head ? and the worst part was that it wasn’t just a faint idea caused by a flirty comment or two . no . there was nothing different about the way they acted in the pool a few weeks ago to the way they acted in the pool when they were fifteen . that was the problem . nothing had really changed . ❛ it’s obvious . ❜ she tried to fill the empty and seemingly uncomfortable air with a comment . the movie had only been on for twenty minutes and laying in her childhood bed with ben was not something new –– but every bit of it felt different . ❛ this made jennifer gardener’s career . ❜
it wasn’t unusual for jack to get into fights . throughout high school she had been suspended multiple times & spent most weekends in detention for such behavior . one would have thought she may have grown out of it by now , but considering she was currently sporting a very quickly bruising swollen eye , & a split lip , one would be very wrong . she’s snuck herself inside , managing to avoid their mother downstairs & found herself leaned against her brothers bedroom door . ‘ ben ? -- can you help me with something ? ’ her voice is quiet as bruised knuckles meet the wooden door a few times , her forehead pressed against the doorframe as she waited . | @goldblcd
“ okay, so, here’s a concept --- ” palms are raised out flat in front of him like he’s about to literally paint a picture in the other male’s mind. “ the year ? right fuckin’ now. time travel has finally been invented --- NAY ! --- discovered. consequences aside, what’s the first thing you do ? rapid fire --- go. ” needless to say, shea’s stoned, hood pulled up ominously as the two sit on the side of the road in front of his mother’s house. quite a careless location to smoke weed, but being caring versus careful were two very different things.
WHO JOKINGLY MOVES IN FOR THE KISS WHEN SOMEONE ASKS IF THEY’RE A COUPLE.
leo, but marian would play along until one of them ( usually marian ) chickens out.
WHO HAS TO BUST OR BAIL THE OTHER OUT OF JAIL.
both would probably have to bust each other out of jail at some point.
WHO GIVES THE OTHER ADVICE / COMFORT ABOUT DATING ISSUES.
ha, as if these two would ever have the emotional vulnerability to go to each other to talk about their dating issues. marian has given unsolicited advice, but she’s pretty much given up on doing so considering leo never listens.
WHO SHAMELESSLY CHEATS AT GAMES BY REACHING OVER TO COVER THE OTHER’S EYES.
both do. leo doesn’t even need to since marian is terrible at video games, but they’re both overly - competitive and would do anything to win.
WHO IMMEDIATELY CALLS DIBS ON THE TOP BUNK.
marian would, with the argument that she’s shorter and least likely to hit her head on the ceiling.
WHO STARTS AND WHO WINS THE PILLOW FIGHTS.
both have had their fair share of starting pillow fights, but leo almost always wins them.
WHO SAYS “ YOUR PANTS WOULD LOOK BETTER ON THEIR FLOOR ” TO THE OTHER’S POTENTIAL CRUSH.
leo definitely does this more to embarrass marian. she tried to say it once as payback, but it didn’t work.
OLIVER & ARTHUR
WHO STEALS FRENCH FRIES OFF THE OTHER’S PLATE.
oliver does. always. even when he has his own plate of fries. arthur calls him out but he still does it anyway.
WHO JOKINGLY MOVES IN FOR THE KISS WHEN SOMEONE ASKS IF THEY’RE A COUPLE.
oliver would, even make jokes about it if he feels like it.
WHO HAS TO BUST OR BAIL THE OTHER OUT OF JAIL.
arthur would have to bail oliver out of jail, and it’s definitely happened more than once during their teen years.
WHO GIVES THE OTHER ADVICE / COMFORT ABOUT DATING ISSUES.
oliver is . . . garbage at relationships, so he goes to arthur when it comes to his dating issues, considering he’s one of the very few people he trusts who’ve been in a serious relationship.
WHO SHAMELESSLY CHEATS AT GAMES BY REACHING OVER TO COVER THE OTHER’S EYES.
arthur would. oliver gets excessively cocky when he wins games ( which is basically all the time ) and getting distracted is the only thing that makes him lose.
WHO IMMEDIATELY CALLS DIBS ON THE TOP BUNK.
oliver, ‘cause he’s a five year - old in a thirty - eight year - old’s body.
WHO STARTS AND WHO WINS THE PILLOW FIGHTS.
oliver starts them, and will literally not stop until he wins.
WHO SAYS “ YOUR PANTS WOULD LOOK BETTER ON THEIR FLOOR ” TO THE OTHER’S POTENTIAL CRUSH.
both have said it at some point, but arthur has definitely said it more times.
‘ ah , ben . arguably the best sibling next to me – sorry , nate ! – we may not be as close as we were when we were younger but i’d still consider him one of my best friends even if the feeling isn’t mutual . he’s a good big brother , he helps me fix things when i fuck up & helps fix me up when i get fucked up . i don’t think he knows how much i appreciate him & i’d rather keep it that way . we don’t want him to know how soft i am . ’
"I need to talk to someone right now and I need you to not tell Mum or Dad what is said until i know it was the right thing to do. Promise?” Paige spoke quickly as soon as she saw her brother. She knew that her parents weren’t in their own home at the time and so she was safe to speak freely to her brother and really get some advice or at least listen to the judgement she would get before it came from her parents. “I just deferred my next semester of school. Like fifteen minutes ago.”
