As long as they're laughing

You know what they say about guys with a big sense of humor?

“Oh why thank you for that helpful tip kind stranger,” Amber teased, actually feeling herself relax more now that he was there. Now she could definitely get drunk and still feel safe.”Good day actually, productive day. Do you ever feel like you have a day where you use..all of your brain cells? That’s how I feel. We made some really great stuff, set up some dates for the summer oh and get this, Casper is pregnant again so Alejandro is about to have a second kid which, I guess we should toast to?” Amber shrugged before reaching out to press her hand to Tim’s cheek. “And if it was a bad day, you being here would have made it better either way. How was yours?”

"For you? Anytime, stuck up rockstar." He leaned in and gave her a kiss hello, "Sorry I'm a little late, I stopped by the apartment to shower before meeting you." Tim moved his head from side to side considering, "Sort of. I have days where it feel like my whole body is wiped, brain included. I bet it's awesome, I'm not worried. No way 2 kids...shit yeah sure we can toast to that." He waved to try to get the bartender's attention, but they were busy with someone else and Tim was still pretty shy so he didn't have a problem waiting, "It was good. I was on it at the gym today, and before that I was teaching Baby how to skate. He's uh...not good yet." He chuckled, getting comfortable on the stool, "So you want to get wasted tonight? That's your vibe. Please do, I'll make sure you eat good food and get to fall asleep in our very comfortable bed."

“I know this is going to sound like peak stuck up rockstar problems but I really wish I could sit at a bar without some dude coming up to me to talk about guitars. Inevitably, they always try to school me and I always have to exit. I haven’t been able to maintain a good buzz in ages.” Amber complained out loud before ordering her next drink, her brain tapped out after a day in the studio with the boys and the flurry of the oncoming summer festivals. “Is it not a person’s god given right to get completely fucked up every once in a while?”

**

"Well I have crazy awesome news for you, I don't know anything about guitars. Okay that's a lie, let me explain to you that you can remember the strings with 'Elvis Aaron Died God Bless Elvis', EADGBE." Tim took a seat in the stool next to Amber and smirked then his features morphed into something more sincere as he pushed the hair out of her face, "Bad day?"

Leo rolled his eyes and tried not to give Ray the satisfaction of getting a laugh on that one but he had to admit that for a moment he was transported back to them being younger and it made it easier to realize that they were all a lot closer to 30 than 20 these days. “The man does not miss a beat but is this not the cutest dude you’ve ever seen?” Leo picked up the puppy in his arms and moved closer to Ray with a grin. “Also I would definitely deliver the baby news one on one. I’m letting that be yours and Day’s lane right now. It’s inevitable that your mini me will be walking around here soon enough.:”

**

"You are the cutest dude I've ever seen but he is a close second." Ray scratched the top of the dog's head, cooing at the animal for a while then looked up at Leo with a puzzled expression and leaned in, "Did Day tell you?" He could only hold a serious face for a few moments longer, "Kidding, but I had you going there." He took the puppy carefully into his own arms, "What made you want a puppy?"

[yourluckyray]

l-jackson​:

“I’ve gathered you all here to introduce you to a very important addition to our lives and to fully take on my identity as a father.” Leo took a dramatic breath before he went to his room and came out with a pitbull puppy trotting behind him. “ Everyone, this is Drake.” @haileyvb / @day-farell / @yourluckyray​ / @colettemendez​

**

"Oh shit oh shit he had a baby on me." Ray said, leaning over to Day in anticipation of who the hell Leo was going to bring out of his room. When he saw it was a dog, he let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, he just gave Colette a makeover." Ray clapped to get the puppy's attention, "Big improvement honestly but why change her name to Drake?"

[yourluckyray]

haileyvb​:

“Because it’s not like you’ll do that without the category.” she rolled her eyes at him, smiling. “I’m staying well away from the both of you as soon as I see a pair of glasses being pulled out.”

“Yeah, but something shiny gives me an excuse to really go the extra mile, you know?” He shook his head, “Pssh, where’s the fun in that? It’s like you didn’t come here to have a good time, Hales.” 

[yourluckyray]

colettemendez​:

“Oh come on now, that doesn’t quite sound like the Ray-loser I know.” Colette let him know, as she poked at his butt chin as he went to poke at the tip of her cone bra. “I thought you left Rosewood to go be a part of a major comedy tour. Well, comedy is putting it kindly. It’s more like making noise that you assume make people laugh when really we’re just laughing at that mug.”

"I can always count on you to give me that little extra push can’t I?” Ray turned his back on her then turned right back around while dramatically putting on a pair of shades that had been hanging off of his shirt, “Ah, Colette, I didn’t realize it was you underneath all of that. Had I known you were coming I would have left. And you want to talk about mugs? Oh hun, yours is so busted a sniper wouldn’t take you out.” 

[yourluckyray]

colettemendez​:

Colette poked Ray from behind, with one of tits of her cone bra as she’d heard ever bit of what he’d just said. The look on her face said it all. If he had something to say, then it was time to say such things. “Go on, since you have so much to say.” She let him know. It’d been quite some time since they’d had one of these spats and she was more than ready for it.

“I’m not saying anything unless you either A) really get me ticked.” He poked the tip of one cone, “or B) I’m guaranteed a trophy for ripping you a good one.” He said while he poked the other. 

[yourluckyray]

This has been great and all but what I need to know is if there’s a reading category because all I need is one look at Colette and I’m taking home the gold.

“Did you really think you were going to be getting anything else than the Ducktales intro?” Day stopped Ray, tilting her head. He must have thought she didn’t know the man she was planning on marrying. “No, no. How could I ever forget that moment?” Day could see Ray’s face when she popped the question then and there. She never knew Ray to ever be speechless, but in that moment… she got him. “Of course. How could we not be? We’re making a life together, Raymundo.” She told him, with a kiss to his cheek. “That you definitely are.” She smiled brightly. “Speaking of, we so have to put down a date soon.”

“Oooh baby, you treat me so fine.” Ray cooed, and if someone ever tried to downplay how epic Day proposing to him had been then he would have to become a fighting man on that day. They walked up to the small snowcone place and Ray checked out the menu, always getting something different everytime he came to the place since they were always, “Okay, let’s narrow it down bit by bit. We can agree that it’s gonna be sometime next year, right? So what about season? I don’t really have a preference.” 

[yourluckyray]

day-farell‌:

“I’m making a mental note of that.” Day said, tapping at her temple. “Expect us swimming in orange peanut butter M&M’s by the time this play opens.” She said with a laugh. “Yeah, I hear that’s the trick to a great life in this business of ours.” Day really loved hearing that Ray was staying with her, she wouldn’t tell him this but my god, she’d missed him. “Oh, let us not forget.” She said, holding up their hands as they swung to show off those rings. “We’re getting married. Ray and Day are getting married.” Day sang playfully. “And then we’re investing in property and then we’re making babies.”

“It has to be like the duck tales intro but with M&Ms or we don’t have enough. Forget when you got down on one knee and asked me to be your hubby? I’m never gonna forget that. It was a cultural reset.” He laughed, “So in your wildest dreams about us we’re investing in property? I am marrying the right woman.”

“Yup, an acting advisor.” Day said with a bat of her eyelashes. As Ray spoke, she found herself blushing. While, she’d learned to accept compliments and take charge of the fact that yes, she was really talented… compliments from her beloved would never fail to make her blush. “Right? I’m so going to ask for a swivel chair. Oh and a beret and a megaphone.” Day added onto her list, laughing between every ridiculous request. “Nope, not yet. But I will be meeting with Jarrah this week, so wish me luck.” She told Ray with a bright smile. “How about you? Will you be staying in Rosewood for a bit?” 

“And peanut butter M&M’s but only the orange ones. Baby, I wish you all of the luck in the world.” He smiled back while he kissed the back of Day’s hand. “Oh yes, I will. Gotta balance career and family, right? The pendulum is swinging towards family right now. Any gigs I don’t won’t be farther than Chicago and I just plan on working on new material and helping out with wedding planning.”

“Shut up—” Day said with a playful slap to his arm, rolling her eyes. He was such a fool. But she knew very well that he was her fool. At this point, she trusted Ray far too much to even let that comment phase her. It was funny to even think that she’d once been scared that Ray would stop loving her, because just being with him in that moment… doing nothing really, she could see just how much he cared for her. “Oh right, such a tool.” Day pointed at herself. “I do actually. So Tallulah called me a couple of days ago, apparently Jarrah is in charge of this year’s musical production and he wants me to be his acting advisor. So between auditions, I’ll be doing that.” She said, excited to give back to this new generation of budding actors. “So basically, I get to live out my ‘The Voice’ fantasy.” Day said, he knew how much she adored herself some ‘The Voice’.

“An acting advisor. Well the guy’s smart,  you’ve got to give him that. If I wanted to be advised about acting I’m going straight to you. I’m gonna have to insist you have a swivel chair that you can swivel often.” Ray swung their hands together as they walked, not in any real rush, just enjoying each other’s company. “Do you know what the production is yet?”

“Because it throws everything out of whack. Emotions get all weird, people suddenly don’t know how to behave. It’s astronomical chaos, my love.” Day told the love of her life. “That, I have no clue. But you now know we have a month to prepare ourselves for what’s coming and really, the best way to prepare is just to accept and to do better.” She said to him, knowing she would do her part to be every bit as loving towards him then as she was now. Day playfully rolled her eyes, knowing that wasn’t the case. But he seemed to be in good spirits, so she assumed that today’s meeting that been really great for him. So, she simply kissed his cheek. A small action to let him know she was proud he’d even said that much. That and she really missed kissing him. “Oh, I’m definitely okay with that.” Day nodded, she loved that snow cone place. It’d been a staple for them, whenever the weather in Rosewood turned from frozen tundra to the Sahara. “What?” She asked him, raising an eyebrow before he’d pulled her in for a kiss. One of those good ol’ romantic comedy kisses. She knew she was a sucker for a good kiss and this was definitely that and then some. “I missed that.” She mumbled against his lips, pulling back ever so lightly to just look him in the face. Just the sight of him made her so happy. She kissed the tip of his nose before kissing him once again. “What were we just talking about again?” Day asked with a laugh.

Ray didn’t buy the whole astrology thing, but he got a kick how much Day got out of it at least. “And an age of Aquarius to you too.” He appreciated that she never pried, and even small kisses on the cheek were enough to shake up butterflies in his stomach. He gave Day a kiss worthy of double price at the movies, “You and me both...all those groupies just don’t compare.” He joked, and stuck his tongue out, the both of them knowing Ray went straight from his gigs to hotel rooms where he immediately face timed her, “I don’t know, something about mercury being a tool.” He resumed their walking and hand holding, “You’ve got anything coming up soon?”

“None that I’d like to meet.” Day said, holding her hands up comedically to make him laugh some. His hand grabbed a hold of hers, their fingers intertwining with his. Her head found itself on his shoulder, placing a quick little kiss on it before laying her head back down. “Very insightful, actually.” Day let him know, as she was a firm believer in the ‘scopes. “That it is not. But it does happen on June 17th,” Day grimaced, more than prepared to take on whatever bad juju came around. Not that she’d let it affect her, or her home. “So, how was the meeting?” She asked, picking her head up to look him in the face. “Great? Amazing? Spectacular? I assume.”

“Why is it so bad for Mercury to be in retrograde anyway? Why does Mercury have to be such a dick about it?” Ray was happy to stroll, schedules weren’t something that came effortlessly; he could follow them and had on tour, but he would rather not, so he felt lighter not having any real plans. “Oh yeah, those meetings are always a riot.” Because of the second ‘A’, Ray was never one to give a whole lot of details, and there maybe would always be a small sense of apprehension on his part where he didn’t want to dwell on that aspect of his life be it embarrassment or a small fear that it would be too much for Day; both things he realized were ridiculous and yet it was still a reality for him. We should go to that little snow cone place, their frozen lemonades and limeades are the best. “Hey, hold on a second.” He told her while stopping their walking stride, and then pulled her into a kiss for no real reason other than the fact that he wanted to and could now that he was home.

Day was so happy to finally have Ray back in Rosewood. Yes, she’d been beyond happy to see that his comedy career was taking off. But she missed him. After so many years of sleeping with someone by your side, to not have them there… it took some getting use to. Luckily, his sister had been the perfection companion and now, they’d both gotten Ray back in their lives. In having Ray back, she decided to go on all his mundane meetings. It was just a them thing. Today, they would spend the day together, regardless of what they had to do. So while he had his meeting, Day entertained herself reading entertainment news and reading horoscopes. But he’d soon stepped out, a bright smile finding itself on her face. “Oh, I definitely need one.” Day nodded, biting down on her lower lip. “Okay, but only if it’s frozen. I would kill for a frozen cherry limeade right now.”

“Okay, but what psychopath is out here drinking non-frozen cherry limeades? It’s the whole thing, babe?” He told Day as he took the blonde’s hand and swung it. He told her that she didn’t have to wait on him when he went to the meetings, but she insisted and he secretly loved it if he was being honest, like she was his prize on the other side, a reminder of one of the big reasons he stayed sober. How are the horoscopes? Is mercury in retrograde?”

A career in comedy where bookings were plentiful were a blessing no doubt, but it was also hard, especially when it came to travelling and trying to plan a wedding, not to mention taking care of his sister. He’d been bouncing from city to city to city for what seemed like forever, but Ray was finally back and would be for a while, confident he wouldn’t be doing any gigs farther than the Chicago area until after the honeymoon. Maintaining his sobriety was also something that made touring even more difficult, so one of the first things he’d done was head to a meeting to re-acclimate himself. After the meeting, Ray was in pretty good spirits as he came out of the building and stepped on to the street, “Phew, I don’t know about you, but I need a drink.” He chuckled, “I’m thinking cherry limeade would hit the spot.”
