Leonardo DiCaprio, is that you? Is this the serious case of Benjamin Button but Leo style?
——The all too common and over generous DiCaprio comparison, albeit very cleverly played this time around. A compliment he never fully understood because the resemblance was zero to none in his opinion, but then again everyone was their own worst critic. However, he played along anyway just for the heck of it. ❝ Dangit, you discovered my secret. Only eighteen more years to win an Oscar before I die in my crib.❞ Lips pursed tightly together to suppress a grin while his eyes gingerly examined the stranger’s choice of wardrobe. ❝—Is there a convention in town or something?❞ Which would be impossible because he had a full list of every upcoming comic-con within a one-hundred mile radius posted up on his wall. ❝ I uh- are you supposed to be Deathstroke? Because you kinda sorta got the colors wrong-❞ Along with quite a few other details. ❝-but you know what, super impressive work anyway!❞

—— It was his favorite jacket- scratch that, the only jacket he owned at the moment, anyone who knew him well enough could tell you that. A black and white varsity with a huge Star Wars Rebel Alliance emblem smack in the middle of his back, and a much smaller one on the left side of his chest to accompany. While the latter was busy fidgeting Vernon was far too occupied worrying about what could possibly be wrong with this amazingly expensive piece of clothing to notice his awkward mannerisms. ❝ Are you not a fan of the light side of the force? Here, I can fix that- ❞ In a few swift movements the jacket came off, was flipped inside-out to reveal a contrasting black and grey, this time with Imperial Insignia before being slipped over his shoulders once again. ❝ See, reversible! For the days when I feel like unleashing my inner Sith. ❞

{ ⚡ } — While Nathan calls himself a collector, Grey calls him for what he is; a nerd. That however does not deter his excitement when he finds a 1979 original, issue #4 of the Avengers/Justice league cross over. He makes a noise of excitement, fingers caressing the cover, “I can’t believe I found this gem.”
—— When issue number twenty-six of Superman/Wonder Woman ( the current object of his obsession ) hit the shelves that very morning you better believe Vernon was pressed up against the glass doors at least twenty minutes prior to the comic shop even opening. And now here he was, so engrossed and savoring each and every page with utmost concentration that the sudden outbursts of ❛ You go Superman ❜ or ❛ Get ‘em Diana! ❜ was enough to scare the pants off any poor soul who happened to pass by. Enthusiastic squeals weren’t alien to him- as someone who made every animalistic sound possible when he himself came across something that greatly piqued his interest, it was a tendency you just got used to in the world of comic geeks. It wasn’t until he caught a glimpse a very distinct cover- one burned into his memory crisp and clear like a photograph did he finally tear his chestnut orbs away from the book in front of him, locking on an analyzing from a distance as if he possessed cybernetic optics: Issue #4 1979 Avengers/Justice League, mint condition.
He was clear across the room in the blink of an eye, and unabashedly found himself hovering all in the personal space of this unfortunate soul. ❝ Oh. My. God. ❞ he breathed heavily, intensely ( borderline hyperventilating ) over the latter’s shoulder. Up close and in person, it was the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. ❝ You need to get a plastic cover for that, like...five minutes ago. In fact, where can we get the ark of the covenant? Just to hold it in until you get home. ❞
oh wow
someone: what’s ur favorite movie? me: Five Time Academy Award™ Nominated Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015) (dir.) JJ Abrams
TO MY DARLING VERNON, a very very VERY happy birthday to you! you're the cutest munchkin i know, the coolest nerd i've been lucky enough to meet, and definitely the most talented illustrator around!! i can't believe how old you're getting now (can i call you my little baby?)! anyway- be prepared, i plan on stopping by later to give you another heart attack (& by that i mean give you an awesome present) because you're the cutest when you're surprised! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
‘cutest munchkin’
'little baby’
His face immediately scrunches up in response. Junsu almost reminded him of one of those aunts you only saw on holidays and other special occasions…but way cooler, definitely, and someone he’d much rather spend the big eighteen with ( though he’d never admit it out loud). Plus, he knew he could count on him not to gift the notorious ugly sweater. Eventually his contorted features softened and an amused laugh broke through. ❝I’m officially an adult, so we’re gonna have to break you of that habit. But you really don’t have to do anything, I just appreciate you even saying something, so thank you. On the other hand……….your surprises are always spot on so- bring it! ❞
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NERD <3
chae has been secretly planning something for someone’s very special day today. chae actually cut class ( with the permission of her parents, of course. ) so she can quickly make her way to vernon’s house. his mom lets her in without hesitation. from there, she prepares her surprise in vernon’s room. it’s been an hour and a half. she looks at the clock and she knows that vernon will be home any moment. once she hears his front door close, she remains hidden in his bedroom with the lights off. her lesser lip is taken in between her teeth in excitement as she hears him approach his room. she see’s vernon enter but she doesn’t yell the usual ’surprise’ like anyone does. she’s dressed in the star wars t-shirt that she bought with vernon on the night of the force awakens premiere and a birthday hat. instead, she lets him see her standing in the middle of his room, balloons flooded everywhere and with a small sized, star wars customized cake sitting on his desk. ( along side some gifts from herself. ) the girl takes her chance to run up to him, entangling him in a warm bear hug. “ happy birthday, nerd! ” she pokes his cheek and pulls away to make a heart with her arms before handing him a birthday hat. “ today is your day and since you are my best friend in the whole wide universe, i thought i should surprise you ! i hope you like it ! ” a toothy-grin displays itself on her face.
—— Something was off. Everyday after school him and Chae always walked home together. But today she’d been MIA since lunch without so much as a warning or even returning at least one of his twenty texts- especially when one contained an invitation to half off games night at the arcade. And that’s when anxiety kicked in full force- chilling at their favorite hang out spots was something his best friend would never pass up.
He made a mental note to pop by her house after dropping off his belongings at his own. After hastily clearing it with his mom he darted up stairs, opened his bedroom door and...........was immediately submerged in a sea of balloons, with Chae’s head bobbing up in down in the swarm. But instead of praising the clearly well planned out surprise he gave her arm a light pinch the minute he felt her embrace around him. ❝ I thought you were dead or something. At least give me a heads up that you’re alive and kicking next time, god! ❞ Although his tone was playful he was being completely serious, however seeing her there alright and in good shape was enough to pacify him. “Is that a star wars cake?!” he finally noted, carrying himself towards his desk for closer inspection. ❝ How can I even eat this? If I could, I’d stick it in one of my display cases and keep it forever. Did I ever mention you’re the absolute best? Yep, you better believe it. ❞
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANSOL VERNON CHWE ☼ 1998.02.18~2016.02.18
—— scrawled across the back of the card was a handwritten note that read: ❛ i know you might not believe me, but you’re special kid! and super cool! i don’t have many nerdy friends, but you’ve helped me realize… the nerdier the better! thanks for being our circus’ artist! happy valentine’s day, you cooool cat. ❜
“Can’t say I’ve ever gotten a valentine with the sender’s picture on it.” Totally a Junsu thing to do. “But hey, there’s a first time for everything, and I’ll admit that I cracked a smile. Also- I see I can always count on you for a confidence boost, so thanks for that! Thanks for everything, actually!”
“We made you a warrior. You made yourself a hero.”

━━ Before she could even agree his hand found hers, digits curling tightly around her much smaller ones and immediately tugging her petite frame closer towards him. It was the only solution he could think of on the spot before either one of them got separated and carried off by the horde. Sure they had their phones to get in contact if they did end up getting lost, but this was definitely the easier and stress free approach. ❝ Who knew a sunday night would be so packed. Don’t people have school or work- ❞ Brows furrowed as the seemingly never ending shoulder bumping continued, until finally he dragged her off to a niche just to take a breather. ❝ Like jeez, all I want to do is play whack-a-mole and win a Spider-Man plush. Is that too much to ask for? ❞
chae.
chae lifts a brow, swiftly pulling out a purple lightsaber as soon as he goes for the red one. she enjoys star wars, so much, that she typed “how to fight with a lightsaber” in the google bar and watched a ten minute tutorial last weekend. hopefully that video will help her now. ❛ i will never join you – ❜ her tone now a serious cute one as she steps forward to clash the purple against the red. ❛ i’d rather die. ❜ chae pushes her lightssaber against his, in attempt to push him back. chae was never really a physically strong girl.
With gritted teeth he pretends to struggle, purposely over exaggerating his movements once the latter’s blade comes in contact with his own. Vernon was known to be the type who delved a little too much into a role- effortlessly reenacting his favorite fictional characters to a tee ( practicing Bruce Wayne and Obi-Wan Kenobi voices was essentially his singing in the shower. ) ❝ Impressive. Most impressive. ❞ he quoted in a polished Vader voice. ❝ Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me. ❞

Your writing seems boring and predictable because
You wrote it
You’ve read it like eight million times.
A person who has never read it before does not have this problem.
Great encouragement for writers
Pass it on
━━While he without a doubt enjoyed his job and all the perks that accompanied- no normal functioning teenager was exactly fond of committing time to repetitive activity, especially on the weekend, and especially when a Dark Knight marathon was coming on tv in less than an hour. So, the moment Vernon’s shift ended he clocked out and bolted, fully determined to make it home for at least the first few minutes of the film. If he kept up a brisk pace he’d catch the next bus right on schedule and-- was that a batmobile? He stumbled over his own feet and right through the double doors, nearly falling face flat before rather ungracefully regaining his balance on the nearby railing. Any other day he would’ve fled in humiliation, but the slip up went completely ignored as his gaze remained fixed on the most iconic vehicles in comic book history, parked right out front of his job, as if it were purposely meant for him-
‘ hansol vernon chwe! ‘
He was caught in a daze, so unable to wrap his mind around the scene that it belatedly registered that it was his named being called- yet still, all the poor kid managed to utter in notably pure bewilderment was ❝ --who? ❞ and that’s when he snapped out of it, once again taking hold on the reigns of reality as his usual rational self kicked in full gear. Dozens of questions flooded to mind, on top of the fact that regardless of how undeniably amazing this was and all- ultimately this guy had to be one of the biggest creeps he’s met if he thought he’d just jump in and ride off into the sunset. ❝ My mom taught me never to get in a car with strangers...even if belongs to the greatest superhero of all time. ❞ Although his tone was for the most part static, refusing pained him way more than he actually let on. ❝ Usually when someone wants to commission me they y’know....email? Or call? Not pull up in front of where i work in......where did you even get a batmobile? ❞
