in my blood

It’s a mixture of both at the moment. 

Fresh starts are a really good thing.. I think once the unknown part of it all passes, you’ll know you did the right thing.

I may or may not have just walked out and quit my job. 

Is this a heck yes moment or an oh no moment? I don’t know how to appropriately react right now.

“That is what my girlfriend keeps trying to tell me, I’m apparently just hell bent on not listening. It just feels like it should be done by now y’know?”

“It will be, but just.. Patience. Good things come when you take your time.”

“It feels like this script is never gonna get finished I swear, I don’t know how many more sleepless nights I can do either.”

“You’re more likely to finish it at a better time if you do get some good rest. I had to learn the hard way myself that running on fumes actually makes you take about twice as long on a project.”

Harley: First day back from spring break? check.

eva grinned widely as he came into her view, her cheeks soon turning a light shade of pink, “that sounds amazing, i can’t wait,” she agreed, turning around to shut the basement door, making sure it was closed properly before she turned back around to him, reaching her free arm up to wrap around his neck, her toes pointing so she was able to even reach that high. she hugged him rather tightly for a moment, pulling away just as he did, “brat? i am no brat, harley,” she shot back, her eyes narrowing. she tried to keep her straight face for as long as possible, though she ended up in a fit of giggled just after, “i missed you too, though,” eva walked further into the basement, kicking her shoes off, lining them up near the stairs. spending the night before her birthday with harley was just perfect in her mind, the absolute perfect way to spend any kind of day was with him. she turned her body back around, glancing to him yet again, “what’d you get?” she questioned, peering over to the snacks.

being home meant eva had pretty much all the time in the world. she had absolutely no work to do here, other than keeping up on her social media, and staying organized and prepared for her next jobs. her and harley had been trying extremely hard to organize a night for them to watch their favorite movies, something they had done when they were much younger, but stopped doing because of how busy they’d grown. finally, they had landed on the perfect night for him, where his parents wouldn’t be around, and he wasn’t busy with his work, it was amazing, and eva was far more than just excited for it.

hurrying to get herself ready, eva threw on a pair of biker shorts, and a sweatshirt that was very clearly too big for her. she tossed her hair up into a tight ponytail, brushing her bangs forward. though she wasn’t dressed in much, she still looked beyond presentable with the addition of a few swipes of mascara to her eyelashes. she drove over to harley’s rather quickly, parking her car in his driveway, knowing no one would mind. she grabbed the six pack of beer sitting on her passenger seat and made her way inside, knocking on the door just before walking in, “i brought the fun stuff,” she called, giggling softly, “are we ready for the night of movies?”

Harley looked up from where he’d just placed down the popcorn and pizzas, having gotten them from the actual front door about four minutes prior to her arrival. “Hey, Ev!” He greeted, entire expression lighting up at the sight of her. “Definitely. I’ve got all our favorites in the queue, plus a few new ones if that’s what you’re in the mood for.” 

He wasn’t lost on the fact that the next day was her birthday, as well, having hid her present under his actual bed to give to her sometime after it hit midnight. Things had worked out beautifully, and he was selfishly excited that he was the one she’d chosen to spend this time with especially over the damn boyfriend. He definitely wasn’t Harley’s favorite person in the world. 

With his schedule being hectic lately, Harley was relieved that he was finally free on a Friday night. He and Eva had been trying to find a day for movie night and it had finally come, with both his parents actually gone ( which didn’t really matter, but it made him feel a bit more adult in the situation ). In an attempt to both keep him at home and give him some privacy they’d redone the basement a few years ago, making it his own private exit/entrance and adding a bathroom and kitchenette. It wasn’t quite what he’d wanted as far as independence, but it had been enough to keep him at home for now. 

“yeah - that would be a really good idea, maybe he’ll let us use a room in his studio, or something, for the other people,” he added, trying his best to unscramble his thoughts, his hand moving to run through his tangled curls, “i can - do pretty much anything too, guitar, drums, piano, uh - we can even do a production one, or songwriting, or something like that, - it could be cool,” flynn pulled off of his uncle after a moment, retreating back to his original position, thankful that attention wasn’t drawn to his action, as it generally was. the teen let out a sharp breath, not realizing what he had done by offhandedly mentioning he wasn’t planning to release anything anymore, “i - mean, i just don’t want to, i guess. i’m fine with just producing for alexa, and i’ve been writing for her a little bit too. i think i’d - rather just do that,” he mumbled, it was clear something wasn’t being said, and although he hated to have to lie, the real reason was one he couldn’t talk about. 

“He’s pretty awesome, I think he will.” Harley agreed, taking note of the things that Flynn could help with. They were similar in more ways than most would think, even doing similar types of songwriting. When Flynn pulled back he kept his calm demeanor, listening to explanation curiously. “You don’t just have a dream for years and decide you don’t want to... What’s really going on? Not that Alexa’s not amazing, and that I think you shouldn’t produce and write with her, I just don’t want you to feel like you have to make a choice between your own career and helping someone else’s.” 

there was no hiding that flynn wasn’t one for being touched unannounced, but there were very few people who were the exceptions to that, harley being one of them. he glanced up to his uncle, a small smile playing on his lips, something that was, again, rather strange for the boy given the events of the past two weeks, but he was excited for this, excited to hopefully do something good, “well, yeah, of course. i’m sure i can talk to a couple of people, see if they’d be interested, i can ask alexa, and maybe chanel, if we add some kind of dance portion into it, seeing as dance is obviously closely related to music,” he went off, his ideas getting rather jumbled in his head, “i’m not doing my own stuff anymore - but - i’m gonna still be producing for alexa, so i’ll have more time for this. - of course, i - i will. i promise.” flynn paused as his uncle spoke, deciding not to respond verbally, but to wrap his arms around harley instead, giving him a tight hug. 

“Dance portion definitely! I might talk to Uncle Mike too, see if he’d donate a small number of classes per month for those that can’t afford to take dance otherwise. But god, yes. I think can all come together perfectly.” He paused, concerned at the fact Flynn said he wasn’t going to do his own music anymore. What the hell? Oh no, he wouldn’t stand for that. However, before he could open his mouth again his nephew was hugging him, and he was genuinely surprised. He usually had to be the one who did the hugging and for Flynn to do it? He understood how big of a deal it was. However, he wasn’t going to outwardly make it one. “Why aren’t you doing your own music?” He asked, voice very soft. “Flynn, you’re too talented to not keep on after your passion. What happened that made you decide not to?”

“I was amazing on the record. I was the Kenny G of the recorder lessons… I just didn’t have the perfect hair like my boy Kenny.”

“As talented as I’m sure you are.. I’ve never heard anyone be able to make a recorder sound good. I’m sorry to burst your Kenny G bubble.”

“well i’m home now! i’m their favorite child, i swear,” she teased, her body still leaning into him, though she pulled herself away in surprise at his laugh, “come on, har! you have to have some kind of lady, don’t you? a hot school mom or smth, hmm?” she pushed further, poking her finger into his stomach softly. she blushed softly at his following words, turning her head quickly as to try and avoid him seeing, “well - that’s -” she tried, giggling softly, “you’re sweet, hummel - luckily enough for you, i have all the free time in the world now, most of which is reserved for you. what a coincidence, huh?” 

“The fact that I can’t even deny that is ridiculous.” He quipped back, knowing it wasn’t far from the truth. They loved her. When she pulled back he raised an eyebrow, and gestured helplessly. “God no! I barely survive parent-teacher conferences without tripping over something.” Her next reaction had his heart thumping quickly, and his posture straightened immediately. “I’m.. I’m happy for that, Evs. I missed the movie nights, even your weird obsession with throwing makeup on me.”
