My TV tucks me in at night

“So that's the story then? You’re dating the gaffer? Who ever could have seen that coming?” “You know, you can’t be smug and blindsided,” Trent drawled. “But I do apologize for not letting you know before bloody Twitter.” “Twitter? I forget your advanced years. I found out on Instagram, my love.” 

Oh, everyone? Got it.

The last thing I wrote was incomplete and has a plot hole/consideration I didn't think of at the time or know how to address yet, BUT they were in formalwear so I feel like this was a sign.

The video in question, which I found because I googled James Lance because I wanted to see how his hair is these days/how handsome he still is:

omg I will be, I’m not sure when but soon. My schedule cleared up fairly dramatically this week

Completely putting aside how I hen written out this IS Ted’s voice (“see ya,” “watchin’,” “waitin’”)

“I’ve been watchin’ you for ages and I spend my time tryin’ not to feel it”

Okaaaaayyyyy

“We kept everything professional”

(Did you though)

Throw your jacket on the floor/whip it around your head, either/or.

Also him seeing Trent waiting for him down the hall? Aka “yes I’m picking up what you’ve been putting down and might actually be ready now to try”?

Okay this is right out Tedependent fic isn’t it?

Suit and necktie? Secret note? Ted seeing Trent as a potential addiction and Trent treating time with Ted as a secret mission AKA the excuses they tell themselves with Ted worrying about his Too Much Gene and Trent writing a book about “the team,” come on

Trent cleared his throat, deciding that honesty was probably the best policy. “But yes, I am hiding. From an old flame, as it were.”

Ted’s eyebrows shot up and he put his drink back on the bar.

“Trent Crimm! You been breaking hearts while I was away?”

“Less breaking hearts, more being cheated on by a raging narcissist who married his affair partner and brought him here, tonight."

Ted helps Trent with an ex situation.
