Robbe is weirdly excited as he pulls Sander with him towards the park the broerrrs usually hang out at. He texted them earlier today if they wanted to meet and surprisingly all of them immediately agreed.
This time it's Sander who keeps his eyes on the buildings around them, watches the spray paintings on the walls - probably different ones than the ones he is used to see in the same places, and seems to be slightly confused by all of this.
Two times he actually stops dead in his tracks and when Robbe asks him what's up he explains that in his Antwerp he sprayed those walls.
The mural is missing as well, something Robbe registers before he even sees his friends sitting on the bench right in front of the schelde.
"Heey, man!"
"Robbe!"
While greeting them with their handshakes he explains.
"That's Sander, I thought I'd bring him today."
And just as expected the guys get really exited, maybe even a bit too exited. Moyo jumps in an upright position to hug him while mumbling something about Jack Frost, Jens greets him with a bro fist and Aaron, immediately starts rambling something about how great it is to finally meet him and how cool he is. Not weird at all.
"I thought you didn't want us to meet him?"
Jens jokes while moving on the bench so there's enough space for Robbe and Sander.
"I might have changed my mind. But don't ruin it!"
They sit down on the bench, Sander on the rest while Robbe places himself between his legs.
Moyo eyes them from the side.
"So that's the type of couple you are?"
First Robbe wants to protest but Moyo is right, they are that kind of couple that uses every possible chance to be close to each other. Maybe it's also because they don't have each other for long but Robbe can't possibly imagine that it could be different once they're together for longer. He can see them as two old men still sitting as close together as possible.
As if to affirm Robbes thoughts Sander leans downwards and leaves a kiss on Robbes head. That should be answer enough for the broerrrs so Robbe only grins.
"Looks like it"
Jens makes kissing noises to annoy them but other than that they fall back to their usual talk, Moyo talks about some upcoming party at the flatshare and promptly invites Sander who grins wide and nods.
"Sounds good"
Just the idea to introduce Sander to all of his Friends makes Robbe weirdly happy. Even though he just now notices he never told anyone besides the broerrs and Milan about him. Looks like he has time to do that now.
"You definitely have to come!"
Aaron shouts excitedly.
"Then you could meet Amber!
Robbe is only able to smile at his friends giddiness, but then Aaron already has the next question.
"You guys need to help me again. Or rather Robbe and Sander - as you're the only ones who are successful in this entire relationship thing"
He ignores Jens and Moyos protests and just carries on.
"So since we are together for one week on Monday I wanted to make her a little present, but I'm not sure what. I thought I'd bring her chocolates?"
A present for an one week anniversary? Sounds like something only Aaron would do. But still, oddly charming.
"Better not chocolates, I don't think she'd like that."
Robbe quickly intervenes, he vaguely remembers Amber declining food in various situations.
"Have you tried painting a mural?"
It's a joke, at least Robbe hopes it is, but the broerrs still look so confused at Sanders comment that he quickly talks about something else.
"I think she likes fashion stuff. Maybe jewelry, or something personal like spending time with her."
"Do you know her favorite flower?"
When all of the broerrrs turn confused towards Sander he chuckles.
"What? I had a girlfriend before!"
"Wait, so are you bi like Jens?"
Moyo asks, luckily Robbe can tell that he just genuinely wants to know.
"Pan"
When he gets no answer to that he already opens his mouth to explain but before he can start talking Aaron interrupts him.
"Wait, I know what that means - I did some research!"
Aaron starts trying to retell his Wikipedia research but he seems to get it pretty wrong - luckily Sander is there to correct him, all of them laughing together about how excited Aaron is every time he gets something right.
And Sander actually is a great help when it comes to presents - he helps Aaron brainstorm his ideas. Robbe is almost afraid Aaron is going to swoon if he gets any more attention from him.
They joke a little afterwards, Sander gets asked all kinds of questions from all of the broerrrs. The questions range from what attracted him in Robbe, to what he answers with an almost embarrassingly long monologue, to what his favorite video game is and if he does any sports.
He blends in surprisingly well, gets along with Robbes friends as if they had known each other for ages.
There is probably nothing that could make him happier than that - Sander as a part of the broerrrs, of his closest friends.
not zeke sounding all confused about "jamie" not having said anything about his abduction like he didn't tell everyone last season that he's never told his parents his uncle abducted him
What commonalities of the genre have you incorporated into your story, and how have you changed them to suit your original vision?
Hmm... well originally I wanted my story to be like a corny Hallmark romance story. However, since the beginning of the story I’ve had the idea to add some more thrilling / suspenseful things into the plot. Whether they stay as thrilling / exciting as I’m (dreading) I will have to write, we shall see. But, the story is far less mushy than it started out as. Right now I’m really trying to figure out how to incorporate all the tones together to make the story flow well and not sound like I’m jumping from thing to thing.
