oh sprace was my og ship and god I love em to BITS*sidenote, love your blog!-ok ok-canon era, right-race and spot first saw each other at the rally-spot kinda eyed him down like oh he cute ok ok-race was just GUSHING over the guy-“specs, specs, omg omg he’s looking at me”-“davedavedAVE omg he’s so handsome”-but they don’t talk to each other until later that night in the cellar-(think of it as in between verses in once and for all, while Kath and Jack are talking)-race walks up to him and tries to be all seductive and flirty-spot accidentally knicks himself on the press and race is immediately concerned but spot assures it’s okay-“no, it’s fine, it’s just a little bit'a blood”-they make and hold eye contact and spot is head over heels for those blue eyes-it’s quiet and it feels like everyone else disappeared-“im spot conlon”-“i know”-(the song starts up again it would work so well)-the next time they saw each other was in the morning-jack announced they won and newsies square went crazy-papers were thrown, everyone was hugging each other-race went,,,,a little overboard-he saw spot and his heart leapt-he ran to the leader of Brooklyn and wrapped his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist and kissed him. In Front Of Everyone. -(thank god no one actually saw, they were hidden in the crowd)-spot stumbled backwards and carried race with ease, and he found himself melting into the kiss-it was great in the moment but god spot was hella confused when they pulled away-race stammered, obviously really fuckin embarrassed, and struggled to explain himself-but spot found himself wanting more-he carried the boy away from the crowd, much to race's confusion, and hid in an alleyway to continue making out-after that, they saw each other everyday-race would sneak out of the lodging house at night and play cards with spot and sometimes with other brooklyn newsies, but he preferred it being him and spot alone on a roof-of course, spot would get too caught up in race's lips and they'd drop the game all together-one night, spot seemed slightly distant-race was very concerned and kept bugging spot, poking at him and kissing his cheek and stealing his hat until spot just burst, all his worries coming out at once-"I-I love ya, okay?! I love ya and I'm scared to love ya, 'cause what if you don't really love me back?! what if this is all just fun n games for you and im takin this too seriously?!"-race was silent until his eyes fluttered half closed and he climbed in his lap-"god, I love you"-let's just say spot got v e r y lucky that night*bonus-davey catches on to race's sneaking out-race ended up passing out after spot and him did their ✨thing✨-and he woke up early enough that he may make it back to the lodging house before the others woke up-oh he was so Wrong-he sprinted to the door of the lodging house, coming face to face with a very unhappy mama newsie-"so, little birdie told me you snuck out last night. and the night before that. and the night before that. etc."-race tried squeezing past davey but mama newsie ain't done-"what were ya thinking?! you could've gotten hurt, I was super worried, race!"-"i wouldn't have gotten hurt, spot would've protected me!"-"..............spot?"-oops-"s,, ,,spot conlon,,,you're sneakin out to meet spot conlon?"-davey was left in total shock and race slowly sneaked inside the lodging house, patting davey on the back and whispering, "yep."
