The runaway graceland au tbh??
I cant believe u made me remember this Hell
runaway au (van may remember this);
- mike is terrible when it comes to navigation. so bad. so very fucking bad. briggs tries to shove a map at his face and he doesn’t even try to help out when theyre driving, he just either naps or listens to music or reads a book from one of the few thrift stores they go to when they actually are in a town
- briggs never had any bullets in the gun. the one bullet that was in the gun was already used but he never thought of refilling it or even having an extra magazine on hand. it was purely for that one time, that gun. you know what happens to the gun in the end.
- you know now about this part of the au but one time they were in a town for a couple days because briggs bronco broke and it needed to be fix so they stayed in a motel and went to a fair in town and there was some animals under a tent and they were like all baby animals like goats and bunnies and chicks and ducklings and mike was like just sitting in the pen of bunnies and chicks and ducklings just curling up with them. briggs stared at a goat for like five minutes straight and they probably had some weird fuckin connection. he likes the goats though straight up he stood and pet their heads and let them nibble on his hand
- mike had a phone at one point but he lost it in one of the motels. whenever his parents finally tracked it down and found it in that motel, his parents understood why he wasn’t answering them anymore
- in the evenings when briggs is too tired to drive to a motel, they pull off the road into the desert and they both climb into the back of the truck with some blankets and their jackets and watch the stars. briggs usually never sleeps despite needing it for driving, but he wants to make sure mike is okay and wont get scared.
