Finn sat on the porch of the Delta house, a cup of coffee in hand. He wasn’t sure if he was quite awake yet. The sun was up, and he’d heard stirring from his brothers, likely trying to get the house in order… but he still felt groggy and like he was half stuck in a dream-like state. He went to take a sip of his coffee, only to realize he hadn’t even put sugar in it yet. “Well, that’s a bummer,” he mumbled to himself, staring down at the cup with disappointment. “This’ll be nasty.”

“dude, check this out!” silas loudly slid into the seat beside lucas, not noticing the grimaces from the other students in the library as he settled in. he pointed to the screen of his ipad, grinning widely at the grades he’d pulled up onto it. “do you see that? i got a fucking b plus! b plus! my mom and dad are gonna be so happy, dude.” clearly ignoring the other…. not so impressive grades in front of him, he pulled a mini champagne bottle out of his bag and wiggled it between his fingers. “come on, let’s go celebrate!” @boydsfm​

      it felt like lately, valerie hadn’t even had the time to breathe, let alone make sure she received good marks in her legal essay that was due in a week, she needed the motivation and maybe if someone was with her while she worked on it, she’d keep herself accountable. “thanks,” she smiled, sitting down and setting herself up with her legal textbook and laptop, a little notebook open at the next blank page. “legal essay, on corporate law, a lot of boring stuff really,” she rolled her eyes dramatically, “what about you?”

miriam: i feel awful saying it, but... yeah. at least one.

miriam: omg i need pictures.

miriam: everyone has a type. i'm sure someone found him sexy.

lucas: absolutely not.

lucas: wow. we're. immediately stopping this conversation

finn: are you telling me that Big Peanut can't afford some cartoonists on their payroll?

finn: good point. we have to ask about Big Honey, too, honey.

lucas: i'm sure they do. someone has to design the packaging

lucas: i'm pretty sure there are bigger issues with big honey than the bear stuff

miriam: she's ok on her best days. but she does send money on the reg.

miriam: ugh, ew. why are people like that?

miriam: and there's definitely something wrong about being a sexy children's tv character isn't there

lucas: well at least she has one redeeming quality

lucas: i dunno man. to be fair i did forget to shave for like five days in a row. i had a creepy stache going

finn: do elephants actually like peanuts, or is the big peanut industry just lying to us?

lucas: well i don't think it was like... big peanut

lucas: it's just cartoons, right?

miriam: in a shocking turn of events, my mother actually offered to get me a subscription. it was the first time she talked to me in a month.

miriam: i can totally see that omfg

miriam: halloween costumes?

lucas: i'd say you were lucky, but... your mom doesn't sound that great

lucas: WELL

emma lifted her belongings off the bench to make room for lucas to sit if he wanted to by placing them on her lap, it was only a few sketching pencils and colours anyways – yet held back from asking him to do so. “early riser myself but it definitely helps that i didn’t wake up with a hangover, just an urge to draw some new designs for class.” she responded, lifting her sketchpad to reveal a blank page. “…more like waiting for some inspiration, thought watching hungover college students stumble home might encourage some drawings – maybe you’ll be my next muse?” emma joked, studying from his unkempt hair to his baggy sweatpants. 

emma could only imagine her professors eyes bulging from their heads if her next portfolio that she handed in was based on ‘ hungover students ‘. however she was stumped for ideas lately and maybe this idea was better than none. emma could imagine herself hours from now watching popular fashion show reruns for anything at all. there was barely any time at all to get ideas prepared for class, yet she was here with none. the miracle she would need now to ace the next workload would want to arrive anytime soon to submit it in time. 

it took lucas a few seconds to realize that emma had, in fact, made room for him on the bench. he stared at it idly for a few seconds more, before blinking with realization and moving towards the spot. “thanks.” he smiled to himself, “god, i wish that were me. i always thought you didn’t really get hangovers at nineteen, but apparently my body just wants me to go fuck myself.” he eyed her sheet, before looking back up at her from behind his sunglasses. “oh, and what a muse i will make.” 

lucas: i HAVE seen that movie but like. years ago.

lucas: all i remember is that there was a guy named carface in it. or a dog, rather.

lucas: why do you mention it ??????

miriam: its on disney+ and its adorable and oliver is just a cute little cat and i love him so much ok?????????

miriam: also ....... francis is my all time fave

lucas: oh right disney+

lucas: everyone keeps talking about that and i'm wondering why everyone seems to have forgotten about like. 123movies.

“have you been to black river in the middle of august, with no ac?” she shot back, rolling her eyes at what she deemed an insufficient answer. “that’s pure heat, and i survived that. and if that’s the case, how does the metal holder part not melt while you’re using it? or, like, your hands?” kitty snorted, jabbing a finger in the air. “suspension of disbelief just means ‘we’re too lazy to develop a real reason for this, so pretend it doesn’t matter’, lucas. stay woke.” she giggled at his next movie recommendation, pretending to note it down on her phone. “wait, isn’t the guy with the jaw in that? okay, i’m…” but she paused as lucas’ demeanor changed, and when she heard the reason, kitty struggled to keep her face neutral. “oh, yeah? i heard you were tutoring him and, god, he needs it,” she said, coughing out a forced laugh. “so, what, uh, what did you guys talk about?”

          angus’  eyes  snap  up  the  moment  lucas  speaks ,  brows  lifting .  “ might ?? ”  they  had  fallen  into  a comfortable  silence ,  the  blond  far  too  wrapped  up  in  his  zoology  to  notice  the  other  had  stopped  writing .  studying  at  the  diner  was  far  superior  to  anywhere  else .  the  male  had  wasted  the  day  away ,  hungover  and    especially  once  it  hit  any  later  than  11pm  –  that’s  really  the  earliest  you  ever  wanted  to  end  up  there  actually .  angus  brings  his  arm  up ,  resting  his  elbow  onto  the  table  top  and  propping  his  chin  in  the  palm  of  his  hand .  “ you  definitely  need  the  pie .  and  so  do  i .  i  need  a  coffee  too . ”  he  wastes  no  time ,  catching  the  attention  of  the  waiter ,  ordering  up  some  pie  and  coffee .  his  concentration  was  officially  broken  though ,  pie  now  on  the  brain .  “ i  forgot  how  crazy  those  parties  get …  hope  you  had  some  fun  at  least ?? ”

miriam: have you ever seen the movie oliver and company?

miriam: i frickin love that movie

miriam: i just needed you to know

lucas: i HAVE seen that movie but like. years ago.

lucas: all i remember is that there was a guy named carface in it. or a dog, rather.

val: oh no :(

val: i didn't see you either!!! i hope so too, i think i had a good time???

val: i do remember arguing w someone but for the life of me i can't recall who...

val: oh god :/ kitty held my hair while i vomited... twice

lucas: yeah i... think i had a good time too ?

lucas: i'm pretty sure i had a conversation about jessica rabbit with silas idk why

lucas: oh god that's... awkward honestly

“wait, okay, wait. go over this with me again,” kitty sighed, her head hanging off the end of lucas’ bed and fingers furiously flashing over the phone keyboard. “can we go back to the light swords? because light isn’t, like, hard. or sharp, or whatever. how are you supposed to use it as a weapon?” she rolled over onto her front and propped her chin up against one hand, frowning like this was a matter of serious importance. “and i swear, people in the one i watched just weren’t asphyxiating enough for me. like, it’s space. there’s no fucking oxygen! i know it was, like, the 80s or whatever, but how did they miss that?” she shook her head, fluffing her hair and waving a dismissive hand in lucas’ direction. “but whatever, i watched it. now i get to pick a movie for you to watch.” ( @boydsfm· )

elliot & lucas - closed starter

it had been a few days since the blacklight party and elliot had barely seen lucas and he wanted to make sure he was okay. the boy had been studying and visiting drina so he felt like he was barely at the house the last few days but he grabbed his phone, shut his bedroom room and headed to lucas’ room. he knocked on the door and waited for him to answer. he had no idea if he was here but he hoped that he was. @boydsfm·
