Heyo everyone! Guess who found some motivation to write! It was me. So I’m posting these headcannons first because they were pretty easy to knock out, but to those other 2 people who requested fics, they’re on their way. This has given me some motivation and I’m super sorry for the long wait. Anyway, here are some headcannons!
Request: Can you do a race x Albert fic or some headcannons pls??
Warning(s): Violence mention
So Race and Albert are pretty good friends
But they both kinda like each other though don’t tell each other
So they’re both stewing with these feelings
And don’t quite know what to do with said feelings
They’re both in love with their best friend
And both come to their conclusion that avoiding each other is the best plan
But the thing is
With them separated one of them ends up walking alone with their thoughts
It’s probably Albert
But he actually isn’t alone
He comes across the Delancey’s
Who are ALWAYS looking for a fight with the Newsies
And Albert, too lost in thought runs into them
He’s startled a bit which gives the Delancey’s an advantage
So they beat him up
While this happens back at the lodging house Race notices Albert is late
Not like he cared or anything
But he kinda did
So as soon as Albert manages to stumble through the doorway Race jumps out of his seat
He runs over and helps Albert
Albert tries to lighten the situation by making a joke of his bruises and cuts and such
But Race isn’t having it
He goes off on Albert
“Why were ya walkin alone?
Why didn’t ya come back right after?
Did’ja have a run in with the Delancey’s?” And the like
Race sounds accusatory but he really was just super worried
But Albert doesn’t realize that
Albert thinks Race blames him for the situation
And oh god does that hurt
He shouts at Race
“What do you care?
It seems clearly to be my fault!
How about ya just leave me alone?!”
And the thought of leaving Albert alone in the state he’s in breaks Race’s heart
He could never
But then Race is shouting back, unable to keep it down any more
He shouts “It’s because I love ya, ya nitwit!”
And then there’s silence
“What?”
“I said I love ya, ya nitwit.”
And Albert doesn’t say anything, processing the information
And Race gets the wrong idea and starts to leave
“Actually Albert, I uhh, look I gotta, I gotta go and-”
“Race wait!”
“Albert please-”
Albert grabs Race’s arm before he can leave to make sure he can hear what Albert has to say
“I love you too.”
“What?”
“I said I love you too, ya nitwit.”
And Race turns around and Albert lets go off his arm
“You have no idea how happy that makes me.”
“I think I have an idea.”
Race pecks Albert’s nose and Albert gets the biggest smile
