DEAD POETS X GN!READER || Insanely stupid things the poets did with you
a/n: For funsies! This is a gn!reader fic + platonic, and a modern AU.
❀ TW // some actually dangerous stuff mentioned. ik y'all aren't stupid but please don't recreate the really really dangerous stuff here I am not liable for ur actions #NOLAWSUITSPLEASE 😭😭😭... I trust u
NEIL PERRY
-"YOU operate the fly machine 🤭..." "No YOU operate the fly machine 😊🤭..." Giggles, giggles, NOBODY KNEW HOW TO OPERATE THE FLY MACHINE ON THE STAGE PROPERLY
-You guys didn't know how to even work the thing. Just did a bunch of bullcrap to see where y'all will go next. Can u tell I have also never operated a fly machine before
-You went first and Neil tried his absolute best to properly strap u onto the harness like how he saw the stage crew did it before on him, and it was a success! No pain
-You lowkey sort of dropped Neil to the ground like, just for fun. Just to see his reaction yk
-He wasn't mad at all (he was peeved but didn't show it) but he DID get a tiny bruise. Yes you did have to pay him reparations for it by buying him a CRAP ton of mint chocolate chip ice cream (yes that's his favorite flavor. Headcannon OVER)
TODD ANDERSON
-You and him water the flowers 😊🌷 bake cookie 🍪 hug 🫂 run from a storm of mice in an abandoned building
-??? It wasn't even night it was like, the afternoon after classes and y'all met up just to hang. Somehow you guys decided that the sidequests were getting so boring that u wanna spice up life a little and go down to the building down Welton literally NOBODY goes to or has lived in for 30 or so years.
-You two found it so interesting until you realized why nobody went there. It was so desolate that it became a breeding ground for mice. This was discovered a little too late when you tried prodding a door on the side of the building open just for a swarm of mice to fly out at y'all.
-Todd tried to be brave and hold the rats back so you could run fast enough to get away from it. However, though you ran first, Todd ran faster and did not trip over his shoe laces.
KNOX OVERSTREET
-MY BOY A CLIMBER 😍 Up a DANG roof for no reason 😍
-It was for a sweet enough reason. He just wanted a better view of the birds. Birdwatcher Knox yes. Then y'all illegally climbed up someones roof 😍
-He followed NO internet trends this is pure, original stupidity. He couldn't climb up his own house because his parents were currently repainting it. Yes the whole thing. And you two knew that this particular neighbor was out on vacation. You already know Knox has a penchant for being a little impulsive.
-That particular night, he told you that y'all would finally be able to see a crested caracara. He's never seen that bird before, and since they fly high, it'd be hard to observe them on regular ground. He looked SO excited... How could you not say yes?
-Little did you two know, that neighbor's house also had someone watching over it during their vacation. When u and Knox were on the roof, the lady yelled for you guys to get off.
-#LAWPRACTICE because Knox's parents want him to be a lawyer anyways. #LAWSUIT
CHARLIE DALTON
-First one to kiss Headmaster Nolan gets 2 dollars
-#LOL did you guys like that joke I hope u guys liked that joke... It made me laugh at least... No?... That's okay too... I'm sorry...
-He probably said ^ to you once
-I feel like he'd do the freaking devious lick bullcrap. I don't know he just strikes me as someone to do that
-He wouldn't steal toilets but he'd definitely wrang you in to help him prank Nolan by vandalizing something in his office. Maybe his favorite mug or his drawers using markers he got from his mysterious stash of items. Probably drew and wrote some interesting things.
-He promised to take the fall if u two were caught but bro why would u agree to help him in the first place 😭. But such as the telephone incident, his vow of loyalty is likely the truth.
STEVEN MEEKS
-I know this guy goes on Reddit. I just know he does. I asked him and he told me
-ASMR building a high-voltage tesla coil (instructions from Reddit),
-This was honestly a task he had originally planned to do with Pittsie but Pitts was busy at the time and u were with him so he was happy to do it with you.
-When you asked Meeks why he wanted to build it, he answered, "I just wanted to see if the Redditor was accurate." Interesting how he's done this before.
-Look at you two. Bonding over wires and high-voltage... Agh I never liked circuits. But somehow, with Meeks, it's pretty interesting. Probably because that is not the proper way to make a high-power Tesla Coil
GERARD PITTS
-(This guy is such a sweetheart it was genuinely so hard to think of something 😭)
-Do ghosts exist? Maybe. Because you and Pitts almost peed ur pants ghost hunting. But get this. U were ghost hunting in Meeks' room while Meeks was sleeping
-Pitts told u that after 12am in his dorm, he'd hear some creaking noises coming from under his bed. Yes the only likely explanation is ghosts.
-You set up all this bullcrap. You set up this small beep-pod (it apparently beeps when a ghost comes near it) and......IT BEEPED.......
-But that wasn't the scariest part. You guys also bought a big UV flashlight to see if a ghost would be visible through it and you two just saw pee on the dorm carpet
RICHARD CAMERON
-Okay. Imagine. The year is... Whatever year you're reading this in. And you force Cameron to do the freaking Cinnamon Challenge
-How does this happen? It's all hazy now, but you're already preparing a dangerous amount of cinnamon to shove into his mouth.
-3. 2. 1. Dust flies everywhere but your mouths. He's coughing, you're all coughing, dang maybe even I'm coughing, and this is TERRIBLE footage for the YouTube video.
-BAD news y'all the camera wasn't recording. You prepare the next tablespoon. Cameron runs to the other room. It's The Shining for him.
-When u post the video (to Cameron's dismay) Charlie will definitely use it to taunt him. It's only a matter of time until u beat Charlie up ❤️
