i really like the idea that their relationship is so centered around dance and music <33

explanation and original pose under the cut:

only kathy and don are able to be out and open with their relationship, with cosmo having to remain hidden, which is symbolised by the sunlight; only kathy and don are highlighted by the sun, here the metophorical spotlight, while cosmo can only enjoy fame through music credits at the end of films. this, however, does not diminish his role in the relationship, with all members meeting at his elbow, in the middle. this notably is cast in complete shadow, covered entirely by cosmo himself, whose anonymity is also somewhat of a protection for this relationship

Prompt: Ring

The first thing Cosmo did when he got into his car was yank his bowtie loose and let out the breath he’d been holding all evening.

Don and Kathy had left about fifteen minutes ago.  Everyone thought they were headed to the airport, but they weren’t.  They were headed home, just the two of them, no doubt gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes and whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears.

Cosmo turned over the engine and pulled away from the curb.  Watching the two people he loved most get married to each other had been the most exhausting thing Cosmo had ever done.  He’d have given anything to be up there at that altar, pledging his undying love.  Instead, he’d been next to the altar, playing the role of best man, plastering a smile on his face and pretending that everything was wonderful and perfect.

The worst part was the questions after about when it was going to be his turn.

Cosmo drove into the driveway and turned off the engine.  He took a moment to collect himself before making his way to the house.

“It’s about time you got here!” Don said as he walked inside, still dressed in his tuxedo.  Next to him, Kathy was still in her gown, her veil lain over the table.

Cosmo flashed a grin.  “And here I thought I was about to get in trouble because I didn’t stay back at the reception long enough.”

“The wedding planner will make sure that everyone gets home and no one steals any linens,” Kathy said with a dismissive wave of her hand.

Cosmo gasped.  “And to think, just yesterday you were saying that I was the only one who could possibly prevent our esteemed guests from pilfering the napkins!”

Kathy gave him a kiss on the cheek.  “That’s before I realized how much I’d miss you!”

Cosmo slapped a hand to his cheek and shied away bashfully.

“Besides, we’ve got a present for you!” Don said.

“For me?” Cosmo said.  “When did it become fashionable for the bride and groom to give gifts to their wedding guests?”

“You know you were more than a guest.”

“So you’ve been telling me,” Cosmo said. 

“How was the wedding, anyway?” Kathy asked anxiously.

“It was wonderful,” Cosmo said.  “The bride was gorgeous, the groom was handsome, the reverend didn’t forget any words, and the cake was superb.”  He grinned.  “And the best man’s speech was the best I’ve ever heard.”

“I don’t know.  I think I’ve heard better,” said Don, teasing.

Cosmo held himself straighter and deepened his voice.  “‘Dignity.  Always dignity,” he said, quoting the aforementioned speech, and Don and Kathy broke into laughter.  

“Where is this present of mine, anyhow?” Cosmo asked.

Kathy looked to Don, and Don fetched a small paper shopping bag that was sitting on the side table next to the couch.

Cosmo took the bag and pulled out a small blue velvet box.  The sort of box that rings came in.  Cosmo glanced up and saw that Kathy had brought her hands together under her chin in anticipation.

And the ring that Don had given her at the ceremony was gone.

Cosmo opened the ring box and found...well, a ring.

A beautiful signet ring, engraved with a set of comedy and tragedy masks underneath branches made of music notes.  The beveled edge was studded with small rubies and sapphires, and etched inside were the words, “Don ♡ Cosmo ♡ Kathy.”

Cosmo opened his mouth, but no words came out.  So he tried again, and still no words came out.  Finally, he was able to squeak out, “Gee, you shouldn’t have.”

Don fished something out of his pocket and held it up in the light.  “We got a matched set,” he said.  He held out his hand.  “May I?”

Cosmo held the ring out to Don, still opening and closing his mouth like a fish.  Don slipped it onto Cosmo’s pinky, and Cosmo nearly swooned, so he did, just like he had the first time Kathy had kissed him, throwing his head in his hands and nearly falling to the floor until Don put a strong hand on his shoulder to steady him.  

“We figured that, even if the law doesn’t recognize the three of us as married, that doesn’t mean we can’t,” Don said.

Cosmo looked at his ring, and then at Don's ring, and then at Kathy's empty hand.  "What about you?”

Kathy smiled and held up a smaller, daintier version of the same ring.  “I have one, too.”

Cosmo theatrically held out his hand and asked, “May I?”

Kathy laughed and offered her hand, and Cosmo kissed it, slid the ring on her pinky, and kissed it again, and this time, he didn’t stop.

“Oh, now, come on, Cos.  That’s enough,” Don protested.  He pushed the two of them onto the couch, plopping himself right between them.

Cosmo admired his ring.  “But won’t people notice that they match?”

“We can always say it’s the family crest,” Don said.

“And we wouldn’t even be fibbing,” Kathy said.

The trio settled into each other, laughing, all happy to be embarking on the rest of their lives together.

Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds) Mauve chiffon dress.. Singin’ In The Rain (1952).. Costume by Walter Plunkett..

[imsoglitter]

Reasons more people should be talking about Singin’ in the Rain...

-It has one of the best meetcutes ever. Can you really beat ‘i jumped into her car to avoid rabid fans, then after we fought, she ended up jumping out of a cake at a party i was attending’? I didn’t think so.

It stars Debbie Reynolds, the mother of one Carrie Fisher

There’s tons of slapstick, which is something you don’t see in a lot of modern movies

Cosmo Brown!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

The sets and costumes are absolutely gorgeous! I mean look at these!

Not to mention the choreography makes for some great draw the squad/otp memes, as shown by this post by the fabulous @sol-draws

There’s some great music to put you in a happy mood. No angst here! I know we all like to wallow, from time to time, but you gotta love a nice feel good movie

It’s just really good guys. Please watch it!
