Louie was ready for a change. A great change. A change that would make life more fun in his opinion. And his opinion was really the only one that mattered in this scenario. Louie was going to get a nipple piercing. It was one of those half baked ideas that turned into a real idea that turned into something Louie really really wanted. And with that in mind, of course he’d dragged all of his friends to the piercing shop in order to get it. 

Admittedly once he stepped into the place he found himself hesitating, eyeing the chairs for tattooing and the different rows of metal that people used for ears and belly buttons and other stuff. Wow. “Shit this is a lot of stuff. I mean I knew but man one of these things is going to be on my nipple. What do you think...hmm. One of these loopy ones?” 

Louie glanced over at Finn, who was studying the different options for lip piercing while he’d been getting progressively more nervous. “W-W-What?” Finn glanced at Louie and then forced himself to draw away from the lip stuff. “Hmm...the b-b-barb-bell might b-b-be b-b-better to st-start with. S-S-So you d-d-don’t accidentally hurt yourself.”

The boy hummed, glancing around for Nemo or Tae. “I need extra opinions. Chop chop, my nipples can’t wait forever.”

Finn was going to learn taekwondo. He was going to learn how to defend himself. Probably. He was pretty sure he was more likely to make Tae laugh at his feeble attempts, but at least he would get to know his friend more. He hoped so. Finn wanted so much to be able to connect better with him.

He had spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out just what people wore for this sort of thing anyway. He didn’t really do these type of exercise things. He swam but that was kind of it. Still, he ended up with some black sweats he didn’t even know he still had, a regular black shirt, and one of his many headbands. He didn’t get to use them that much (they didn’t always work with his visual aesthetic of the day) but now he did. So he’d have to thank Tae for that.

Finn found himself in the park, bouncing a little with nervous energy until he caught sight of Tae and smiled. “H-Hi Tae! Look I’m re-ready for s-s-some uh...” he wasn’t going to try to say taekwondo again. It just frustrated him so he did what he vaguely thought was a karate chop of some kind and grinned. “W-W-Where d-d-do we s-s-start? P-P-P-Punchy things? K-K-K-Kicking?”

Snow Day | Taekwonduck

@moon-yeongtae

It had been a long time since Louie and Tae had properly hung out just the two of them. Mostly because of all the stupid drama before and during summer. It was nice to be past it, but their hang outs hadn’t quite been the same.

But today that was going to change.

Louie and Tae were going sledding. it was going to be awesome. Louie had got out the big sled that he and his brothers had shared for years, dragging it out in front of his place to wait for Tae. Louie was as bundled up as possible: his thickest green winter jacket and some green snowpants making him look more poofy than a boy. But it would all be worth it.

At least it would once he convinced Tae to drag the sled up the hill for them both. “Taeeeeeee!” He called out as he caught sight of him coming up. “About time you got here.”

Louie was glad that Tae’s family didn’t hate him yet. A part of him was pretty sure it was only a matter of time, but for now they didn’t and that meant coming over to hang with Tae. A much needed break from letting Louie stew in his thoughts.

But since Louie did want to try to make less adults hate him, he hadn’t come over unprepared. He’d...well he’d made a sort of sad looking cake. All by himself, but admittedly the frosting was droopy, and the cake was a misshapen disaster. But maybe this would mean they would at least be endeared enough to not take too much notice of his flaws. 

And they said Louie couldn’t strategize. He could strategize. It just might not be the genius moves that a smarter person might come up with like Huey. He made his way up to the door, wiggling so that his rather atrocious green monstrosity didn’t fall when he knocked a few times. Once he did, he stepped back, fidgeting nervously until the door opened. “Heeeeeeeey. Who likes cake? I know I do.”

Tell me your troubles and doubts | Lunch Squad

Ah detention. A place that felt more like home than home did for Louie these days. This time Louie didn’t bother with any art materials. He figured Finn might bring some, and anyway he was going to try to block them all out and sleep. It had been hard to sleep at home lately. Not that it mattered. Here he was, settling into his usual desk with a slouch and ignoring Finn saying hi as he meekly shuffled into the room. He didn’t have the energy to be friendly.

Or maybe he just didn’t have the energy to be stuck in the same room with his friends right now. He didn’t want to look at Nemo and see the damage he had done to his face. He didn’t want to see Tae and know that he had probably really fucked up their friendship. He didn’t want to deal with any of it. So he rested his forehead on the pillow he’d brought and closed his eyes, hoping the others wouldn’t talk to him.

---

Finn on the other hand drifted in nervously, shrinking in on himself a little as Louie ignored him and settled for a desk a small distance away from Louie. This was strange. Strange and uncomfortable and he didn’t know what to do with himself. Until Nemo and Tae drifted in and a relieved smile spread across his face.

“Oh h-h-hi g-guys. It’s good to s-s-see you again. May-Maybe not here b-b-but...” he shrugged his shoulders, ducking his head a little sheepishly. “it c-c-could b-b-be worse?” he suggested, not able to settle right with the awkward feeling after what happened.

Louie was tired of sitting with other people. Well, the thing was this...he didn’t have anything against Mei and her squad of nerds (featuring his big brother Huey) and all. But he just didn’t feel like he fit right there. This sucked. 

It had taken him a few days to come to the conclusion that he wanted to sit with his friends again. And it took him more time to figure out whether or not that was actually a good idea. The signs said...maybe a bad one. But what was Louie supposed to do? Well he’d been debating over it for days.

After all, Louie couldn’t just go back like nothing had ever happened. So he’d texted Finn off and on until he finally agreed to meet with him before lunch started so he’d have his back up. Which was how he ended up hand in hand with Finn, trying very hard not to pull out the paper bag he had in his backpack and covering his face with it. 

As nice as it would be to hide his face for all eternity, he would probably stand out more to others with it on. So here he was, with Finn sitting down in his usual spot, and Louie taking the spot immediately next to him and breaking tradition of Nemo sitting there. This was fine. Louie was fine. Louie took out his lunch carefully, squeezing Finn’s hand a little tighter as he did so and made himself busy, not looking up from his food. This would be fine. This would be fine right?

A limitless me | Lunch Squad

@justkeepdancing-nemo @moon-yeongtae

It was official. It was happening. Louie was bringing his boyfriend, yeah his boyfriend Mark over to the table he shared with his friends for lunch. There had been a brief conversation about maybe going to hang with the band squad first (until Louie had just sort of pouted at Mark and added a little ‘Mark pleeeeease’ and soon enough they both settled on his table). Louie didn’t think that was all that sly, but he was really eager for his friends to meet him.

And okay, Nemo had met him sure, but it was a different situation than being on the way to drunk at a party. Mark and Louie had been hanging out (or had a couple dates really) and it had been fun. A lot of cuddling and a little bit of kissing and it was super nice. Warm. It gave Louie this really good feeling like maybe he was someone that deserved to be liked like this. Every time Mark traced over his cheekbones or fiddled with his hair made Louie die a little more inside. 

Louie hadn’t forgotten about those pesky feelings he had for Tae. It didn’t leave just like that after all, but he was getting better at ignoring them. He was pretty sure anyway. Lunch would just have to be the ultimate test. The test to see if he could move on and just enjoy the time he was having with Mark. He was pretty sure he could. In any case, he had waited for band to get out and immediately reached for Mark’s hand, yanking him away from the group and ignoring Johnny’s “Yo Mark! Louie!” There would be time for band niceties later. He’d sit with all of them next lunch probably. For now? It was Louie time.

“Okay so first of all don’t be weirded out if Tae’s weird...that’s just who he is. And Finn’s quiet because he’s like this shy kid and all that...he wouldn’t hurt a fly. And then of course you know Nemo sorta right?” At the least the two had met, so Louie wasn’t going to go into it too much. He led the way over to the usual table, spotting his friends already all settling down with their own lunches. Ah this was gonna be great. Louie took his usual spot and then gestured for Mark to sit with him. “Hey Finn, mind scooting over a little?” The boy quickly shook his head and scooted down to make room for Mark. “Oh hey guys. This is Mark. My boyfriend,” he added quickly, and admittedly a little smugly, a smile spreading across his face as he glanced over at him.
