face claims : Emmy Rossum (Fiona Gallagher) & young! Jospeh Perrino ( Lorenzo carcaterra : sleepers)
Ponyboy Curtis ::
"i've seen Maria around, she scares me a bit actually, one times she was yelling at some guy working in a corner store cause .. uh i think i heard her say he was staring somewhere to long and too low.. and i'm guessing that ain't' too good if u put the piece together. Another time i saw her hauling Hugo down the road by his hair and man she looked pissed.. like Dallas when some soc thinks they own the place. i haven't actually met Hugo, so i cant say much i just see him around town hes a normal kid like me a think? hangs with his own friends and i've heard Steve talking about him being around the DX so i'm guessing he helps out working there?"

Hugo was currently working at the DX under a car while music played from a radio near by. He poked his tongue out with focusing on the metal he was trying to repair. “Stupid .. shit” he muttered as he couldnt unscrew a tight bolt. He heard someone walk in the DX but didn’t mind it knowing Steve or soda would handle it.
-@morettisiblings
He heard Soda greet the potential customer, and the two talked for a while. Steve eventually joined in, and after a while he heard footsteps enter the garage.
“MORETTI!” Steve called from the entrance. “You’ve got a customer.”
Steve pulled Hugo’s rolling cart he’d been laying on with his foot, looking down at him. “Me and Soda are busy, so you’re on own with this one. Think you can handle it?”
The other boy with Steve was a boy around their age, with light brown hair that almost looked blonde and brown eyes. He smiled down at Hugo, friendly and genuine, and something about his smile made his stomach twist.. Not good.
Hugo hit his head as Steve pulled him out from under the car "fuck, jeez Steve!" He snapped his hand holding the head where he hit it before he looked up from where he still sat on rolling cart.
Hugo froze for a second seeming the young grease but quickly snapped out of it. "Yeah man, what's ur you need?" Hug asked simply.
he stood and grabbed a rag wiping the grease off his hands although it didn't do much. "You wanna buy a car part?" He shrugged while grabbing the tool box he was using before and putting it on the bench. He finally turned leaning on the car in the works and facing the greaser looking at him longer than he ment to.
The boy shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned against a tool box. “I was wondering if you could tune up my car a bit? I’ve got a race coming up, and I just wanna make sure I’m not gonna have any problems.”
Hugo cleared his throat and nodded “yeah, yeah is it uh parked outside?” He questioned as they both walked out the garage door to the car. “Sweet ride” Hugo smiled as I looked at the car “so u just want me to check the engine and tires?.. I can check the brakes to” he nodded already lifting up the hood.
He leaned against the side of the car. “Yeah, I just don’t want it to give out on me in the middle of the race.”
After a moment of silence, the boy seemed to realize something. “Aw damn, what’s wrong with me? I never even told you my name!” He extended a hand for Hugo to shake. “I’m Griffin. Griffin Conroy.” He gave a slight shrug. “Most people just call me Griff, though.”
Hugo raised his brows but after a second he shook the boys hand. “Hugo Moretti” he nodded before turning back to the car and checking the engine “shoulda known you was griffin..” Hugo laughed slightly “Steve and soda always talk about drag races and you were mentioned” he nodded as he continued working on the car.
“how old are ya?” Hugo asked simply making conversation.
”same” he nodded as he closed the hood of the car and started testing the tires and how much air was in them. “Yeah except their pissed you alway beat them” he laughed standing back up from where he was kneeling. “Ur all good” he nodded to the car.
Griff chuckled again. “Well, you can tell them they aren’t so bad themselves. I’ve actually worked up quite the sweat trying to keep up.” While it was well known that Griff was one of the best drag racers in Tulsa, he still had reputation for being shockingly modest. It was easy to understand his popularity.
”yeah sure” Hugo said in an amused tone knowing griffin beat them easy. “They’re good but not that good” he smirked while fiddling with the St Mary necklace around his neck. “I ain’t seen you round town much?” Hugo questioned “or maybe I’m just blind, thought I guess it’s the first time we are meeting?” He shrugged.
“Oh I live on the East side. I just don’t really hang out in town a lot. All my friends live on the same street.” What he left out was that he lived in one of the non-white parts of Tulsa with his mother, where all of the ethnic families lived. It was just easier hanging out with the other Mexican kids in town than it was to feel like he was walking on eggshells around everyone else.
”fair enough” Hugo nodded while closing uo the tool box he used and picked it up. “Uh.. yer’ car is fine, brakes are good” he stated while testing a tire one last time. “Don’t doubt you will win, from what I’m hearin ya real good” he nodded to the car.
“come by again if you need somethin’” he shrugged while starting to walk back inside. But he had a twisting feeling in his stomach when they both made eye contact while talking.
”hm?” He turned back around with his brows raised as he watched griffin walk towards him. His thumbs hooks in his jeans, watching another car drive into the DX but soda was already on it. “Yea, man?” He asked waiting to see what he has to say.
“Would you wanna come tonight? To the race, I mean.” Griff asked, his hands shoved into his pockets. “They’re usually pretty fun, and it’d be nice knowing I’ve got another fan in the crowd.”
Hugo paused for a second before nodding “yeah sure, I’ll bring soda and Steve down .. their still fixing their car so I don’t think their racin’” he shrugged “see you later man” he gave a simple smile, he was definetly exited.
Griff’s smile widened. “Sweet, I’ll see you there!” He watched Hugo walk away and when he was out of earshot he pumped his fist once. “Yes!!” He whispered.
Hugo was standing on a street corner just outside of town with his arms crossed while Steve and soda argued beside him. Hugo was chewing a piece of gum while looking around for griffin. “Yo weres griffin?” Hugo muttered to soda. “I dunno.. chill man he’s probably checking his car over or something, lover boy” Steve butted in before soda could answer.
“I don’t like griffin?” Hugo snapped a little too quickly as he shifted on the spot. “Alright jeez man..” Steve laughed before getting distracted.
Griff was standing over by his car, adjusting the mirrors, and he straightened himself up when he was done to give it a once-over. He looked over and noticed Hugo, smiling at him widely. He jogged over to the trio. “Hey, you made it!”
”hey” Hugo smiled back as Steve and soda turned to him as well. “Course we came?” Hugo shrugged like it was stupod to think they wouldn’t. “Yer’ gonna win it man” he nodded while shifting on the spot.
“Thanks a lot, man, I hope I do.” He looked at Soda and Steve. “Really wish you giys were doing this, though. Racing’s no fun without you two.
Soda sighed, thumbs in his jean pockets. “Believe me, we wish so too. Then this dummy went and wrecked the car.” He said, pointing a thumb in Steve’s direction, who gave him a sideways glare and an overdramatic huff. “Oh, shut your trap, Soda. Not my fault that jackass swerved right into me at the end of the lap.”
Griff laughed. “Well, I can’t wait for you guys to get back on the streets. Everyone else is too easy to beat.”
Soda smiled. “Believe me, Conroy, we can’t either. Now get over to your car and give em hell.”
“I sure will!” He looked at Hugo. “Wish me luck.” He smiled again and rushed over to his car.
”yeah man, good luck” Hugo smiled back as he pointed finger guns at griffin. “He’s gonna smash them aint he” Hugo stated to soda who stood next to him.
“Yeah he’ll be done 10 minutes before everyone” soda joked while leaving to grab a drink before the race start.
Hugo watched Griff interact with the other racers. He was so energetic and genuine with everything he did. The way he smiled at people like he was truly glad to see them, the way he laughed like a joke somebody made was actually funny. He was a rare kind of person to come across.
The announcer called all the racers to the starting line and Griff looked up and climbed into his car, starting the engine and pulling up with the other cars.
Hugo watched him with a small smile, he couldn’t help but have a tight feeling in his chest when he saw griffin but he pushed that feeling away. As he watxhed griffin hop in his car Hugo had a way of excitement and nerves run through his body.
what if he crashes?, what if he doesn’t win?, but as he over heard other people talk; they were saying how good griffin was and he instantly knew hew was gonna win the race with ease.
The announcer called for racers to start their engines, and Griffin revved the engine of his car, taking deep breaths as he gripped the wheel. “You’ve got this. Don’t think so hard about it.” He muttered to himself.
The countdown started, and the audience waited with bated breath for the race to start.
Steve and soda were already hollering the loudest, as well as putting bets on that he would win. “Whoop go griff” soda yelled, not ling after Steve hollered “Beat their fuckin asses man!” With a huge grin. Hugo cheered as well “you got this man!” He smiled while everyone around them was cheering for someone.
Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.
“don’t get shot before u come back” she smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She wasn’t going to say ‘I miss you or I love you’ yet, she wasn’t that kind of person. “What’s do u want for dinner the night u get home?” She asked simply. Hugo walked through the house someone retailing behind which was just Dez, she gave them a nod and wave as she kept talking. Truth was she missed tanner a lot but no way she would ever admit that.
-@morettisiblings (for tanner ofc)
from the other end of the line i was packing up my stuff. i come home tomorrow, meaning that i had to pack up my current stuff from my bunk. i would have my house to myself for a bit, being that my friend was still needed, he had a different job than i did, something that required him to stay a lot longer at once.
“its alright, i dont plan on being anywhere near a gun other than my own for a bit, even then i dont get to bring it back with me.”
i was packing up my stuff when i suddenly came across a photo of both Maria and i. one that i had kept nicer. i quickly put it into my pocket, making sure it was safe and close to me before saying, “im fine with whatever you make darlin’, doesnt have to be anything special, im just happy to have actual food that isnt some prepackaged bullshit like they give us here. we can go to my place if you wanna get away from your brother or whatever, i’ll have the place to myself for a few more months since my friend is still on base. we could do whatever ya want…” i decided to be more teasing towards the end, something i really only did if i was comfortable with someone. i was definitely comfortable with Maria, though i dont wanna say that just yet… it might freak her out
”yeah alright” she smiled as she moved around the kitchen as far as she could to were the phone wouldn’t fly off the wall. She lit a cigarette while she kept talking. “Call me when u get home so I know when to come over” she nodded while snapping at Hugo as well as talking, “HEY! U got grease on ur pants go change em!” She snapped before turning back to the phone.
“god I need to get away from him ..” she agreed to what tanner said. “Maybe we can do something fun” she teased back while looking through the kitchen cupboard. “I’ll bring over uh… either paster or soup” she muttered.
”you’ll be the first person i call” i said, grabbing the last few things to put in my bag as i laid down on my bunk.
“you sound like you could use that break. dont worry we’ll do somethin to get your mind off it… and either of those options sounds nice. its been a bit since i’ve seen you or had your cooking… i should be back around 8 tomorrow morning, i gotta unpack a few things, but you can come over whenever you want.”
”alright” she mumbled while walking back to the phone receiver “I’ll see tomorrow morning then” she smiled as she talked, “bye babe” she stated simply before putting the phone down.
*time skip the next day 9:30 am Maria arriving at tanners place like normal*
at around 9:30 i heard a knock on my door, light but commanding. i quickly stopped putting my stuff away and went to go grab the door. i opened it to see the only person i was patiently expecting, Maria, and good God did she look even more gorgeous than i remembered. this is what the military does to a person, your significant other always shocks you with how good they look when you come back from a mission.
a large smirk grew on my face as i pulled her closer to me, placing a gentle kiss on her lips almost as if saying “i made it home alive” or a gentle reminder that i came back in one piece.
“i know youre gonna hate me for sayin it but i missed ya darlin. base is real borin when i cant see you.”
”yeah well don’t get to love struck lover boy” she teased before kissing him back again one had trailing to his hair. Once they pulled away she looked over his face for a second then pulled away. “I made pasta, just Mac and cheese” she shrugged and walked inside the home she knew well.
“So, do you need help un packing?” She asked while already picking up a few things lying around. She adjusted her singlet and started moving around. She always found some way to keep busy or moving. She glanced at him, seeing tanner standing there watching her. He was handsome, and his skin had tanned to a darker shade. She hadn’t noticed his hair had looked like he only had a shower not long ago. She was lucky he treated her right.
“what?” She smiled slightly to see him looking at her with that look he always wore when he got back home.
”nothin darlin. just a hell of a lot better to be back here with you than in my bunk surrounded by a bunch of disgusting horny ass men talking bout ladies in some rude ass ways. you shoulda seen some of them fights i got into with guys in my bunk…” i went to the fridge and grabbed to beers, offering one to her before popping the lid off both bottles, even if she didnt drink it, i would.
“mac and cheese is more than fine by the way… and yeah i could use some help un packing. got a hell of a lotta stuff i gotta put away from while i was gone. shouldnt take too long though most of it is just clothes that gotta be hung up. had to wash em all before i left just in case they had anything on them.”
”alright” she nodded while taking the beer and having a sip. “All guys are assholes anyways, the ones who talk dirty” she shrugged while cleaning up around the living room. “Except you, ya aint so bad” she raised her brows as she looked at him.
“I make amazing Mac and cheese so ya better like it” she jokes while pushing her hair from her face as she moved around the house, taking a look at a few photos Tanner had up.
”well i would hope im one of the good ones if you deal with me.” i laughed slightly, more of a playful scoff. “im sure i would like anythin ya make.”
while cleaning up the kitchen and living room a bit i saw Maria looking around at some photos, some of the two of us, a few i took with some friends at base, and very few scattered around of my little brother and sister, “ya like the pictures? i took most of em myself…”
”they could be better” she joked before turning to face him again. “Nah.. they’re real good Tanner” she nodded “u got my good side” Maria nodded her head to a photo with both of them then one of just her. She slowly walked back over to him, fixing his hair slightly.
“your not so bad” he smiled and pecked his jaw “I mean Hugo loves you, so that’s a win” she straightened up the Dog Tags around his neck, the ones he always gave her when he was back home but borrowed them when he had to leave for a while.
”well i mean it shouldn’t be hard, every side’s your good side. despite what you may think, you’re a real catch… im lucky i got ya”
i hummed lightly as she kissed my jaw, realizing how much i missed the feeling in those three months. “well i’m glad your brother likes me, it’s probably working better for my case since i’m gone a lot.” as she straightened up my dog tags i took a moment to really take it all in. the feeling of safety in the chaos, the feeling of home, the fact that i had a gorgeous girl i could call my own right in front of my eyes.
“you wanna wear my dog tags again? i really only have to wear them when im out at base and all our when they need me on the field… in case anything happens yknow… identification.” i said slightly sadly. it wasn’t uncommon that i would think about them. the way we only get those necklaces to tell people who we are, not while we’re living… but if we’re dead. if you die on the field and have your dog tags they put it between your two front teeth and kick it in… it makes sure it stays. that way when they have enough time to collect the bodies they can read your number and match it with your name, being you home to your family and make the dreaded visits. i’ve had to do one too many of those procedures, even the first one was too much in my opinion.
”yeah, but ya’ never gonna need em anyways” she mumbled while pulling the necklace over his head and sliding it over her own and fucking it under her singlet. “You know that baseball you gave him, he still has it” she smiled while tracing the tattoos on his upper arm.
“I’ll go heat up the food” she smiled running her hand across his torso before she wakes into the kitchen, putting the macaroni into the microwave and started getting plates ready while humming an Beatles song to herself.
”well we better knock on wood and pray to God i don’t… im tryna make it back home to ya” i said as i lightly played with the bottom of her shirt. “well im glad, someone back in texas gave it to me but i had no use for it, figured he would like it a whole lot more”
i walked into the kitchen carrying both our bottles of beer and setting them at the small table, as well as getting us both a glass of water. “so, what did ya do while i was gone all that time, update me on everything, i wanna hear it all… including that song your humming”
((paus. my auto correct made it ‘fucking’ it was supposed to say tucking.. damn bro))
“Hm.. worked odd jobs” she shrugged while serving up the plates .. “uh.. smokes 500 packs? And got a few more records .. stole some shit like normal. Got money in time before the water cut off” she stated mindlessly while putting the now full plates on the bench.
“I also found out that Hugo is gay now?” Shes scrunched her brows while sitting down and taking a sip of her beer, “that was a lot to get through but I till love him” she muttered while stiring her food. “ might have missed you sometimes..” she smirked while tucking her hair behind her ears as she ate the food.
“well it sounds like you had your hands full … at least the water didn’t get shut off. if you ever need to borrow any money or anything while i’m away, you know where i keep it, i’ll go to someone at base and make a few rigged bets and get it back so it’s no big deal…”
“i mean as long as the kid is happy” i shrugged, “and i’m glad to hear you missed me too, at least i know it wasn’t one sided” i said while getting a fork full of the macaroni and eating it. it was better than anything i had in those three months, something that actually resembled and tasted like food. “the macaroni’s real good”
she didn’t say much just smiled while looking at her food as she kept eating. “Thanks” she replied while glancing at him. He was handsome, she loved him a whole lot even if she didn’t say it out loud but she definetly showed it. “I’m fine I don’t need no money” Maria nodded while chewing her food, she never took money she always worked for it.
“what’s about you? I ain’t heard much of your heroic war story’s yet? Save some people’s lives?” She joked while twirling her fork in her hand. “Show any guys my picture” she smiled smugly obviously joking.
”well if you ever do, give me a call and tell me how much, i promise ill make it all back… it could be like you were the one taking advantage of those asshole guys idioticness… they deserve it anyways” i said while scarfing down some more of the food
“mhm well most of it is training and shit. getting us ready in case. there’s some things i can’t say yet, but there uh might be a war coming up… so, they’ve been training us for that… running extra drills, making sure we’re in perfect shape, stuff like that. we had a few small missions, nothing too exciting, more just get in get our type stuff… some spying but that’s not really my job, it’s more of what my friend is doing for now, that’s why he’s not back for a while… gotta keep an eye on the whole situation. just… make sure you’re ready, try to stock up some stuff if you can, make sure yall have some place safe you can go if anything happens. i heard the Curtis’ have a storm shelter, might wanna see if Hugo can help yall out with getting acquainted with them in case.” i said, lightly messing with my fork. i was overly stressed with the situation. there was a possibility of us going to war with Vietnam and if we did, i would be one of the first ones thrown out there.
“oh yeah. definitely showed it to everyone there” i laughed jokingly
((i saw a headcanon that the Curtis’ were the only ones nearby that had a storm shelter and whenever theres a storm they all run there, i really liked it and i figured it could apply to if theres war too… i tried to add in time accurate stuff but in this household we do not draft the gang like Steve and Soda to go die in war because SE Hinton was only saying that as an acting method))
”sounds pretty tuff.. but I’m sure nothing will happen” she gave him a look trying to make him feel better. “And if it did, even though it wouldn’t. I would write you every day” she nodded almost reassuring herself as she finished up her food. “I’ll try with the whole bunker thing but Hugo hasn’t talked to me as much lately”
“you done?” She asked changing the conversation as she stood up and took tanners now empty plate and walked to the sink starting to wash up. Maria quietly started washing the dishes, hearing the radio turn on as Tanner came up behind her.
((I think thats cool, bro I was so sad when I found out soda gor drafted in canon, and the fact he died like he could have at least survived. I feel like with Maria and Tanner, Maria would die if there was a war like she was trying to help Hugo or something while Tanner is serving. But that’s canon too cause it’s too sad to make it apart of the rp))
”thats all we can hope for. never know what anyone’s gonna do but we can hope it doesnt get bad.” i said as i finished up
“why hasnt he been talkin to you as much? is it cause of his whole coming out thing or somethin? i feel like he shouldnt be upset about that…”
“yeah, thank you darlin, it was real good” i said as i stood up, going to turn on some music and wrapping my arms around her from behind, slowly swaying back and forth, trailing small kisses every now and then as she was washing up the plates.
((i lwk panicked so much when i saw that Rob Lowe had told her Soda died in Vietnam but i later saw the twitter post from her where she was explaining that she only told him that as an acting method to get more genuine reactions from him of living in the moment i guess and that he never actually died in the war and i choose to believe that one as like the facts instead of him dying because i dont think i could deal with that honestly. i can only hope that for Maria and Hugo too, that they can either go to the Curtis’ or Dez hears about it somehow and decided hes gonna build a fucking bomb shelter underground or some shit and tells them to come over quickly when he starts hearing about it because he’s a fucking nerd))
”hm I dunno..” she muttered “he’s at that age” she joked slightly while leaning into his touch, hearing the ronettes playing in the background. She continued washing the finishes until she finished, dried off her hands and turned to face Tanner. She wrapped her arms arm his neck as they swayed “I’m just glad ur back..” she whispered while kissing his temple.
((real though, love soda so much Him and Dallas are my favourite and we love Dez to yay. Sorry if my words don’t sound right or its a bit shorter I’m getting tired lol))
”mhm he’ll be a full on man soon… just at that awkward in between. you ever need me to talk some sense into him i can give him the same speech we get at base if you want.”
when she finished up and turned around everything felt right again. just spending time dancing in the kitchen. it was easier than training thats for sure. it felt more like actual life than what they knocked into us. “im glad to be back too, i dont plant on going anywhere for a bit.”
((its okay dont worry, you got this, stay strong on your all-nighter journey🫡))
”you just un packs anyways .. I would be a hassle” she mumbled into his shoulder as the song continued to play. “Remind me of the first time we met again” she asked simply, Maria wasn’t a soft person but when she was tired she could be sometimes. Her hand trailed into the back of his head as Elvis filled the kitchen.
((gotta lock in broski I’ll stay online so I don’t go to sleep and I can just write longer responses cause I rather long reponses rps better than short))
”well, this kid, i dunno his name, i think he’s friends with your brother. he came up to me at bucks one day after i had gotten back from a mission. sat down right next to me and was talkin about some ‘i have a proposition’ bullshit. started telling me about ya, and you seemed interesting. he said he’d give me your number, so he did. i called ya the next day, explained what happened to ya and asked if i could meet ya at the diner. you agreed and by God was i happy. we talked for a few hours, got to know eachother a bit more, and agreed to meet again. started goin out together more and here we are today.” i said, gently rubbing my thumbs in circles on her hips
”what can I say? I’m a charmer” she smiled as we both bumped into the kitchen counter while swaying. “Dez picked pretty well” Maria wish med jokingly while her hand moved to cover his.
“besides? No one in the god for Salem town is as cool as we are.. I mean your a soldier and I’m a grumpy chic who works odd jobs round town” she shrugged while laughing “perfect match”
”well that i cant argue with, im just glad the kid could convince me in my drunken state, i got someone to come home to now, which is nice” i grinned at her
“yeah, we beat all them by a long shot. wouldnt change anything about us if i could. i love havin this “grumpy chic who works odd jobs” as my girlfriend and i would sure hope ya love havin a marine as a boyfriend… both get all sorts of perks”
she laughed before leaning up to kiss him. Both arms loosely hooking around his neck as she smiled into the kiss before turn in her head to deepen it.
There was no lying that he was a good kisser, and they both got carried away easily. But they both stayed there deep in a kiss. They didn’t always need words.
Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.
“don’t get shot before u come back” she smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She wasn’t going to say ‘I miss you or I love you’ yet, she wasn’t that kind of person. “What’s do u want for dinner the night u get home?” She asked simply. Hugo walked through the house someone retailing behind which was just Dez, she gave them a nod and wave as she kept talking. Truth was she missed tanner a lot but no way she would ever admit that.
-@morettisiblings (for tanner ofc)
from the other end of the line i was packing up my stuff. i come home tomorrow, meaning that i had to pack up my current stuff from my bunk. i would have my house to myself for a bit, being that my friend was still needed, he had a different job than i did, something that required him to stay a lot longer at once.
“its alright, i dont plan on being anywhere near a gun other than my own for a bit, even then i dont get to bring it back with me.”
i was packing up my stuff when i suddenly came across a photo of both Maria and i. one that i had kept nicer. i quickly put it into my pocket, making sure it was safe and close to me before saying, “im fine with whatever you make darlin’, doesnt have to be anything special, im just happy to have actual food that isnt some prepackaged bullshit like they give us here. we can go to my place if you wanna get away from your brother or whatever, i’ll have the place to myself for a few more months since my friend is still on base. we could do whatever ya want…” i decided to be more teasing towards the end, something i really only did if i was comfortable with someone. i was definitely comfortable with Maria, though i dont wanna say that just yet… it might freak her out
”yeah alright” she smiled as she moved around the kitchen as far as she could to were the phone wouldn’t fly off the wall. She lit a cigarette while she kept talking. “Call me when u get home so I know when to come over” she nodded while snapping at Hugo as well as talking, “HEY! U got grease on ur pants go change em!” She snapped before turning back to the phone.
“god I need to get away from him ..” she agreed to what tanner said. “Maybe we can do something fun” she teased back while looking through the kitchen cupboard. “I’ll bring over uh… either paster or soup” she muttered.
”you’ll be the first person i call” i said, grabbing the last few things to put in my bag as i laid down on my bunk.
“you sound like you could use that break. dont worry we’ll do somethin to get your mind off it… and either of those options sounds nice. its been a bit since i’ve seen you or had your cooking… i should be back around 8 tomorrow morning, i gotta unpack a few things, but you can come over whenever you want.”
”alright” she mumbled while walking back to the phone receiver “I’ll see tomorrow morning then” she smiled as she talked, “bye babe” she stated simply before putting the phone down.
*time skip the next day 9:30 am Maria arriving at tanners place like normal*
at around 9:30 i heard a knock on my door, light but commanding. i quickly stopped putting my stuff away and went to go grab the door. i opened it to see the only person i was patiently expecting, Maria, and good God did she look even more gorgeous than i remembered. this is what the military does to a person, your significant other always shocks you with how good they look when you come back from a mission.
a large smirk grew on my face as i pulled her closer to me, placing a gentle kiss on her lips almost as if saying “i made it home alive” or a gentle reminder that i came back in one piece.
“i know youre gonna hate me for sayin it but i missed ya darlin. base is real borin when i cant see you.”
”yeah well don’t get to love struck lover boy” she teased before kissing him back again one had trailing to his hair. Once they pulled away she looked over his face for a second then pulled away. “I made pasta, just Mac and cheese” she shrugged and walked inside the home she knew well.
“So, do you need help un packing?” She asked while already picking up a few things lying around. She adjusted her singlet and started moving around. She always found some way to keep busy or moving. She glanced at him, seeing tanner standing there watching her. He was handsome, and his skin had tanned to a darker shade. She hadn’t noticed his hair had looked like he only had a shower not long ago. She was lucky he treated her right.
“what?” She smiled slightly to see him looking at her with that look he always wore when he got back home.
”nothin darlin. just a hell of a lot better to be back here with you than in my bunk surrounded by a bunch of disgusting horny ass men talking bout ladies in some rude ass ways. you shoulda seen some of them fights i got into with guys in my bunk…” i went to the fridge and grabbed to beers, offering one to her before popping the lid off both bottles, even if she didnt drink it, i would.
“mac and cheese is more than fine by the way… and yeah i could use some help un packing. got a hell of a lotta stuff i gotta put away from while i was gone. shouldnt take too long though most of it is just clothes that gotta be hung up. had to wash em all before i left just in case they had anything on them.”
”alright” she nodded while taking the beer and having a sip. “All guys are assholes anyways, the ones who talk dirty” she shrugged while cleaning up around the living room. “Except you, ya aint so bad” she raised her brows as she looked at him.
“I make amazing Mac and cheese so ya better like it” she jokes while pushing her hair from her face as she moved around the house, taking a look at a few photos Tanner had up.
”well i would hope im one of the good ones if you deal with me.” i laughed slightly, more of a playful scoff. “im sure i would like anythin ya make.”
while cleaning up the kitchen and living room a bit i saw Maria looking around at some photos, some of the two of us, a few i took with some friends at base, and very few scattered around of my little brother and sister, “ya like the pictures? i took most of em myself…”
”they could be better” she joked before turning to face him again. “Nah.. they’re real good Tanner” she nodded “u got my good side” Maria nodded her head to a photo with both of them then one of just her. She slowly walked back over to him, fixing his hair slightly.
“your not so bad” he smiled and pecked his jaw “I mean Hugo loves you, so that’s a win” she straightened up the Dog Tags around his neck, the ones he always gave her when he was back home but borrowed them when he had to leave for a while.
”well i mean it shouldn’t be hard, every side’s your good side. despite what you may think, you’re a real catch… im lucky i got ya”
i hummed lightly as she kissed my jaw, realizing how much i missed the feeling in those three months. “well i’m glad your brother likes me, it’s probably working better for my case since i’m gone a lot.” as she straightened up my dog tags i took a moment to really take it all in. the feeling of safety in the chaos, the feeling of home, the fact that i had a gorgeous girl i could call my own right in front of my eyes.
“you wanna wear my dog tags again? i really only have to wear them when im out at base and all our when they need me on the field… in case anything happens yknow… identification.” i said slightly sadly. it wasn’t uncommon that i would think about them. the way we only get those necklaces to tell people who we are, not while we’re living… but if we’re dead. if you die on the field and have your dog tags they put it between your two front teeth and kick it in… it makes sure it stays. that way when they have enough time to collect the bodies they can read your number and match it with your name, being you home to your family and make the dreaded visits. i’ve had to do one too many of those procedures, even the first one was too much in my opinion.
”yeah, but ya’ never gonna need em anyways” she mumbled while pulling the necklace over his head and sliding it over her own and fucking it under her singlet. “You know that baseball you gave him, he still has it” she smiled while tracing the tattoos on his upper arm.
“I’ll go heat up the food” she smiled running her hand across his torso before she wakes into the kitchen, putting the macaroni into the microwave and started getting plates ready while humming an Beatles song to herself.
”well we better knock on wood and pray to God i don’t… im tryna make it back home to ya” i said as i lightly played with the bottom of her shirt. “well im glad, someone back in texas gave it to me but i had no use for it, figured he would like it a whole lot more”
i walked into the kitchen carrying both our bottles of beer and setting them at the small table, as well as getting us both a glass of water. “so, what did ya do while i was gone all that time, update me on everything, i wanna hear it all… including that song your humming”
((paus. my auto correct made it ‘fucking’ it was supposed to say tucking.. damn bro))
“Hm.. worked odd jobs” she shrugged while serving up the plates .. “uh.. smokes 500 packs? And got a few more records .. stole some shit like normal. Got money in time before the water cut off” she stated mindlessly while putting the now full plates on the bench.
“I also found out that Hugo is gay now?” Shes scrunched her brows while sitting down and taking a sip of her beer, “that was a lot to get through but I till love him” she muttered while stiring her food. “ might have missed you sometimes..” she smirked while tucking her hair behind her ears as she ate the food.
“well it sounds like you had your hands full … at least the water didn’t get shut off. if you ever need to borrow any money or anything while i’m away, you know where i keep it, i’ll go to someone at base and make a few rigged bets and get it back so it’s no big deal…”
“i mean as long as the kid is happy” i shrugged, “and i’m glad to hear you missed me too, at least i know it wasn’t one sided” i said while getting a fork full of the macaroni and eating it. it was better than anything i had in those three months, something that actually resembled and tasted like food. “the macaroni’s real good”
she didn’t say much just smiled while looking at her food as she kept eating. “Thanks” she replied while glancing at him. He was handsome, she loved him a whole lot even if she didn’t say it out loud but she definetly showed it. “I’m fine I don’t need no money” Maria nodded while chewing her food, she never took money she always worked for it.
“what’s about you? I ain’t heard much of your heroic war story’s yet? Save some people’s lives?” She joked while twirling her fork in her hand. “Show any guys my picture” she smiled smugly obviously joking.
”well if you ever do, give me a call and tell me how much, i promise ill make it all back… it could be like you were the one taking advantage of those asshole guys idioticness… they deserve it anyways” i said while scarfing down some more of the food
“mhm well most of it is training and shit. getting us ready in case. there’s some things i can’t say yet, but there uh might be a war coming up… so, they’ve been training us for that… running extra drills, making sure we’re in perfect shape, stuff like that. we had a few small missions, nothing too exciting, more just get in get our type stuff… some spying but that’s not really my job, it’s more of what my friend is doing for now, that’s why he’s not back for a while… gotta keep an eye on the whole situation. just… make sure you’re ready, try to stock up some stuff if you can, make sure yall have some place safe you can go if anything happens. i heard the Curtis’ have a storm shelter, might wanna see if Hugo can help yall out with getting acquainted with them in case.” i said, lightly messing with my fork. i was overly stressed with the situation. there was a possibility of us going to war with Vietnam and if we did, i would be one of the first ones thrown out there.
“oh yeah. definitely showed it to everyone there” i laughed jokingly
((i saw a headcanon that the Curtis’ were the only ones nearby that had a storm shelter and whenever theres a storm they all run there, i really liked it and i figured it could apply to if theres war too… i tried to add in time accurate stuff but in this household we do not draft the gang like Steve and Soda to go die in war because SE Hinton was only saying that as an acting method))
”sounds pretty tuff.. but I’m sure nothing will happen” she gave him a look trying to make him feel better. “And if it did, even though it wouldn’t. I would write you every day” she nodded almost reassuring herself as she finished up her food. “I’ll try with the whole bunker thing but Hugo hasn’t talked to me as much lately”
“you done?” She asked changing the conversation as she stood up and took tanners now empty plate and walked to the sink starting to wash up. Maria quietly started washing the dishes, hearing the radio turn on as Tanner came up behind her.
((I think thats cool, bro I was so sad when I found out soda gor drafted in canon, and the fact he died like he could have at least survived. I feel like with Maria and Tanner, Maria would die if there was a war like she was trying to help Hugo or something while Tanner is serving. But that’s canon too cause it’s too sad to make it apart of the rp))
”thats all we can hope for. never know what anyone’s gonna do but we can hope it doesnt get bad.” i said as i finished up
“why hasnt he been talkin to you as much? is it cause of his whole coming out thing or somethin? i feel like he shouldnt be upset about that…”
“yeah, thank you darlin, it was real good” i said as i stood up, going to turn on some music and wrapping my arms around her from behind, slowly swaying back and forth, trailing small kisses every now and then as she was washing up the plates.
((i lwk panicked so much when i saw that Rob Lowe had told her Soda died in Vietnam but i later saw the twitter post from her where she was explaining that she only told him that as an acting method to get more genuine reactions from him of living in the moment i guess and that he never actually died in the war and i choose to believe that one as like the facts instead of him dying because i dont think i could deal with that honestly. i can only hope that for Maria and Hugo too, that they can either go to the Curtis’ or Dez hears about it somehow and decided hes gonna build a fucking bomb shelter underground or some shit and tells them to come over quickly when he starts hearing about it because he’s a fucking nerd))
”hm I dunno..” she muttered “he’s at that age” she joked slightly while leaning into his touch, hearing the ronettes playing in the background. She continued washing the finishes until she finished, dried off her hands and turned to face Tanner. She wrapped her arms arm his neck as they swayed “I’m just glad ur back..” she whispered while kissing his temple.
((real though, love soda so much Him and Dallas are my favourite and we love Dez to yay. Sorry if my words don’t sound right or its a bit shorter I’m getting tired lol))
”mhm he’ll be a full on man soon… just at that awkward in between. you ever need me to talk some sense into him i can give him the same speech we get at base if you want.”
when she finished up and turned around everything felt right again. just spending time dancing in the kitchen. it was easier than training thats for sure. it felt more like actual life than what they knocked into us. “im glad to be back too, i dont plant on going anywhere for a bit.”
((its okay dont worry, you got this, stay strong on your all-nighter journey🫡))
”you just un packs anyways .. I would be a hassle” she mumbled into his shoulder as the song continued to play. “Remind me of the first time we met again” she asked simply, Maria wasn’t a soft person but when she was tired she could be sometimes. Her hand trailed into the back of his head as Elvis filled the kitchen.
((gotta lock in broski I’ll stay online so I don’t go to sleep and I can just write longer responses cause I rather long reponses rps better than short))
”well, this kid, i dunno his name, i think he’s friends with your brother. he came up to me at bucks one day after i had gotten back from a mission. sat down right next to me and was talkin about some ‘i have a proposition’ bullshit. started telling me about ya, and you seemed interesting. he said he’d give me your number, so he did. i called ya the next day, explained what happened to ya and asked if i could meet ya at the diner. you agreed and by God was i happy. we talked for a few hours, got to know eachother a bit more, and agreed to meet again. started goin out together more and here we are today.” i said, gently rubbing my thumbs in circles on her hips
”what can I say? I’m a charmer” she smiled as we both bumped into the kitchen counter while swaying. “Dez picked pretty well” Maria wish med jokingly while her hand moved to cover his.
“besides? No one in the god for Salem town is as cool as we are.. I mean your a soldier and I’m a grumpy chic who works odd jobs round town” she shrugged while laughing “perfect match”
Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.

I would be a hassle” she mumbled into his shoulder as the song continued to play. “Remind me of the first time we met again” she asked simply, Maria wasn’t a soft person but when she was tired she could be sometimes. Her hand trailed into the back of his head as Elvis filled the kitchen.

Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.
“don’t get shot before u come back” she smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She wasn’t going to say ‘I miss you or I love you’ yet, she wasn’t that kind of person. “What’s do u want for dinner the night u get home?” She asked simply. Hugo walked through the house someone retailing behind which was just Dez, she gave them a nod and wave as she kept talking. Truth was she missed tanner a lot but no way she would ever admit that.
-@morettisiblings (for tanner ofc)
from the other end of the line i was packing up my stuff. i come home tomorrow, meaning that i had to pack up my current stuff from my bunk. i would have my house to myself for a bit, being that my friend was still needed, he had a different job than i did, something that required him to stay a lot longer at once.
“its alright, i dont plan on being anywhere near a gun other than my own for a bit, even then i dont get to bring it back with me.”
i was packing up my stuff when i suddenly came across a photo of both Maria and i. one that i had kept nicer. i quickly put it into my pocket, making sure it was safe and close to me before saying, “im fine with whatever you make darlin’, doesnt have to be anything special, im just happy to have actual food that isnt some prepackaged bullshit like they give us here. we can go to my place if you wanna get away from your brother or whatever, i’ll have the place to myself for a few more months since my friend is still on base. we could do whatever ya want…” i decided to be more teasing towards the end, something i really only did if i was comfortable with someone. i was definitely comfortable with Maria, though i dont wanna say that just yet… it might freak her out
”yeah alright” she smiled as she moved around the kitchen as far as she could to were the phone wouldn’t fly off the wall. She lit a cigarette while she kept talking. “Call me when u get home so I know when to come over” she nodded while snapping at Hugo as well as talking, “HEY! U got grease on ur pants go change em!” She snapped before turning back to the phone.
“god I need to get away from him ..” she agreed to what tanner said. “Maybe we can do something fun” she teased back while looking through the kitchen cupboard. “I’ll bring over uh… either paster or soup” she muttered.
”you’ll be the first person i call” i said, grabbing the last few things to put in my bag as i laid down on my bunk.
“you sound like you could use that break. dont worry we’ll do somethin to get your mind off it… and either of those options sounds nice. its been a bit since i’ve seen you or had your cooking… i should be back around 8 tomorrow morning, i gotta unpack a few things, but you can come over whenever you want.”
”alright” she mumbled while walking back to the phone receiver “I’ll see tomorrow morning then” she smiled as she talked, “bye babe” she stated simply before putting the phone down.
*time skip the next day 9:30 am Maria arriving at tanners place like normal*
at around 9:30 i heard a knock on my door, light but commanding. i quickly stopped putting my stuff away and went to go grab the door. i opened it to see the only person i was patiently expecting, Maria, and good God did she look even more gorgeous than i remembered. this is what the military does to a person, your significant other always shocks you with how good they look when you come back from a mission.
a large smirk grew on my face as i pulled her closer to me, placing a gentle kiss on her lips almost as if saying “i made it home alive” or a gentle reminder that i came back in one piece.
“i know youre gonna hate me for sayin it but i missed ya darlin. base is real borin when i cant see you.”
”yeah well don’t get to love struck lover boy” she teased before kissing him back again one had trailing to his hair. Once they pulled away she looked over his face for a second then pulled away. “I made pasta, just Mac and cheese” she shrugged and walked inside the home she knew well.
“So, do you need help un packing?” She asked while already picking up a few things lying around. She adjusted her singlet and started moving around. She always found some way to keep busy or moving. She glanced at him, seeing tanner standing there watching her. He was handsome, and his skin had tanned to a darker shade. She hadn’t noticed his hair had looked like he only had a shower not long ago. She was lucky he treated her right.
“what?” She smiled slightly to see him looking at her with that look he always wore when he got back home.
”nothin darlin. just a hell of a lot better to be back here with you than in my bunk surrounded by a bunch of disgusting horny ass men talking bout ladies in some rude ass ways. you shoulda seen some of them fights i got into with guys in my bunk…” i went to the fridge and grabbed to beers, offering one to her before popping the lid off both bottles, even if she didnt drink it, i would.
“mac and cheese is more than fine by the way… and yeah i could use some help un packing. got a hell of a lotta stuff i gotta put away from while i was gone. shouldnt take too long though most of it is just clothes that gotta be hung up. had to wash em all before i left just in case they had anything on them.”
”alright” she nodded while taking the beer and having a sip. “All guys are assholes anyways, the ones who talk dirty” she shrugged while cleaning up around the living room. “Except you, ya aint so bad” she raised her brows as she looked at him.
“I make amazing Mac and cheese so ya better like it” she jokes while pushing her hair from her face as she moved around the house, taking a look at a few photos Tanner had up.
”well i would hope im one of the good ones if you deal with me.” i laughed slightly, more of a playful scoff. “im sure i would like anythin ya make.”
while cleaning up the kitchen and living room a bit i saw Maria looking around at some photos, some of the two of us, a few i took with some friends at base, and very few scattered around of my little brother and sister, “ya like the pictures? i took most of em myself…”
”they could be better” she joked before turning to face him again. “Nah.. they’re real good Tanner” she nodded “u got my good side” Maria nodded her head to a photo with both of them then one of just her. She slowly walked back over to him, fixing his hair slightly.
“your not so bad” he smiled and pecked his jaw “I mean Hugo loves you, so that’s a win” she straightened up the Dog Tags around his neck, the ones he always gave her when he was back home but borrowed them when he had to leave for a while.
”well i mean it shouldn’t be hard, every side’s your good side. despite what you may think, you’re a real catch… im lucky i got ya”
i hummed lightly as she kissed my jaw, realizing how much i missed the feeling in those three months. “well i’m glad your brother likes me, it’s probably working better for my case since i’m gone a lot.” as she straightened up my dog tags i took a moment to really take it all in. the feeling of safety in the chaos, the feeling of home, the fact that i had a gorgeous girl i could call my own right in front of my eyes.
“you wanna wear my dog tags again? i really only have to wear them when im out at base and all our when they need me on the field… in case anything happens yknow… identification.” i said slightly sadly. it wasn’t uncommon that i would think about them. the way we only get those necklaces to tell people who we are, not while we’re living… but if we’re dead. if you die on the field and have your dog tags they put it between your two front teeth and kick it in… it makes sure it stays. that way when they have enough time to collect the bodies they can read your number and match it with your name, being you home to your family and make the dreaded visits. i’ve had to do one too many of those procedures, even the first one was too much in my opinion.
”yeah, but ya’ never gonna need em anyways” she mumbled while pulling the necklace over his head and sliding it over her own and fucking it under her singlet. “You know that baseball you gave him, he still has it” she smiled while tracing the tattoos on his upper arm.
“I’ll go heat up the food” she smiled running her hand across his torso before she wakes into the kitchen, putting the macaroni into the microwave and started getting plates ready while humming an Beatles song to herself.
”well we better knock on wood and pray to God i don’t… im tryna make it back home to ya” i said as i lightly played with the bottom of her shirt. “well im glad, someone back in texas gave it to me but i had no use for it, figured he would like it a whole lot more”
i walked into the kitchen carrying both our bottles of beer and setting them at the small table, as well as getting us both a glass of water. “so, what did ya do while i was gone all that time, update me on everything, i wanna hear it all… including that song your humming”
((paus. my auto correct made it ‘fucking’ it was supposed to say tucking.. damn bro))
“Hm.. worked odd jobs” she shrugged while serving up the plates .. “uh.. smokes 500 packs? And got a few more records .. stole some shit like normal. Got money in time before the water cut off” she stated mindlessly while putting the now full plates on the bench.
“I also found out that Hugo is gay now?” Shes scrunched her brows while sitting down and taking a sip of her beer, “that was a lot to get through but I till love him” she muttered while stiring her food. “ might have missed you sometimes..” she smirked while tucking her hair behind her ears as she ate the food.
“well it sounds like you had your hands full … at least the water didn’t get shut off. if you ever need to borrow any money or anything while i’m away, you know where i keep it, i’ll go to someone at base and make a few rigged bets and get it back so it’s no big deal…”
“i mean as long as the kid is happy” i shrugged, “and i’m glad to hear you missed me too, at least i know it wasn’t one sided” i said while getting a fork full of the macaroni and eating it. it was better than anything i had in those three months, something that actually resembled and tasted like food. “the macaroni’s real good”
she didn’t say much just smiled while looking at her food as she kept eating. “Thanks” she replied while glancing at him. He was handsome, she loved him a whole lot even if she didn’t say it out loud but she definetly showed it. “I’m fine I don’t need no money” Maria nodded while chewing her food, she never took money she always worked for it.
“what’s about you? I ain’t heard much of your heroic war story’s yet? Save some people’s lives?” She joked while twirling her fork in her hand. “Show any guys my picture” she smiled smugly obviously joking.
”well if you ever do, give me a call and tell me how much, i promise ill make it all back… it could be like you were the one taking advantage of those asshole guys idioticness… they deserve it anyways” i said while scarfing down some more of the food
“mhm well most of it is training and shit. getting us ready in case. there’s some things i can’t say yet, but there uh might be a war coming up… so, they’ve been training us for that… running extra drills, making sure we’re in perfect shape, stuff like that. we had a few small missions, nothing too exciting, more just get in get our type stuff… some spying but that’s not really my job, it’s more of what my friend is doing for now, that’s why he’s not back for a while… gotta keep an eye on the whole situation. just… make sure you’re ready, try to stock up some stuff if you can, make sure yall have some place safe you can go if anything happens. i heard the Curtis’ have a storm shelter, might wanna see if Hugo can help yall out with getting acquainted with them in case.” i said, lightly messing with my fork. i was overly stressed with the situation. there was a possibility of us going to war with Vietnam and if we did, i would be one of the first ones thrown out there.
“oh yeah. definitely showed it to everyone there” i laughed jokingly
((i saw a headcanon that the Curtis’ were the only ones nearby that had a storm shelter and whenever theres a storm they all run there, i really liked it and i figured it could apply to if theres war too… i tried to add in time accurate stuff but in this household we do not draft the gang like Steve and Soda to go die in war because SE Hinton was only saying that as an acting method))
”sounds pretty tuff.. but I’m sure nothing will happen” she gave him a look trying to make him feel better. “And if it did, even though it wouldn’t. I would write you every day” she nodded almost reassuring herself as she finished up her food. “I’ll try with the whole bunker thing but Hugo hasn’t talked to me as much lately”
“you done?” She asked changing the conversation as she stood up and took tanners now empty plate and walked to the sink starting to wash up. Maria quietly started washing the dishes, hearing the radio turn on as Tanner came up behind her.
((I think thats cool, bro I was so sad when I found out soda gor drafted in canon, and the fact he died like he could have at least survived. I feel like with Maria and Tanner, Maria would die if there was a war like she was trying to help Hugo or something while Tanner is serving. But that’s canon too cause it’s too sad to make it apart of the rp))
”thats all we can hope for. never know what anyone’s gonna do but we can hope it doesnt get bad.” i said as i finished up
“why hasnt he been talkin to you as much? is it cause of his whole coming out thing or somethin? i feel like he shouldnt be upset about that…”
“yeah, thank you darlin, it was real good” i said as i stood up, going to turn on some music and wrapping my arms around her from behind, slowly swaying back and forth, trailing small kisses every now and then as she was washing up the plates.
((i lwk panicked so much when i saw that Rob Lowe had told her Soda died in Vietnam but i later saw the twitter post from her where she was explaining that she only told him that as an acting method to get more genuine reactions from him of living in the moment i guess and that he never actually died in the war and i choose to believe that one as like the facts instead of him dying because i dont think i could deal with that honestly. i can only hope that for Maria and Hugo too, that they can either go to the Curtis’ or Dez hears about it somehow and decided hes gonna build a fucking bomb shelter underground or some shit and tells them to come over quickly when he starts hearing about it because he’s a fucking nerd))
”hm I dunno..” she muttered “he’s at that age” she joked slightly while leaning into his touch, hearing the ronettes playing in the background. She continued washing the finishes until she finished, dried off her hands and turned to face Tanner. She wrapped her arms arm his neck as they swayed “I’m just glad ur back..” she whispered while kissing his temple.
((real though, love soda so much Him and Dallas are my favourite and we love Dez to yay. Sorry if my words don’t sound right or its a bit shorter I’m getting tired lol))

Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.
“don’t get shot before u come back” she smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She wasn’t going to say ‘I miss you or I love you’ yet, she wasn’t that kind of person. “What’s do u want for dinner the night u get home?” She asked simply. Hugo walked through the house someone retailing behind which was just Dez, she gave them a nod and wave as she kept talking. Truth was she missed tanner a lot but no way she would ever admit that.
-@morettisiblings (for tanner ofc)
from the other end of the line i was packing up my stuff. i come home tomorrow, meaning that i had to pack up my current stuff from my bunk. i would have my house to myself for a bit, being that my friend was still needed, he had a different job than i did, something that required him to stay a lot longer at once.
“its alright, i dont plan on being anywhere near a gun other than my own for a bit, even then i dont get to bring it back with me.”
i was packing up my stuff when i suddenly came across a photo of both Maria and i. one that i had kept nicer. i quickly put it into my pocket, making sure it was safe and close to me before saying, “im fine with whatever you make darlin’, doesnt have to be anything special, im just happy to have actual food that isnt some prepackaged bullshit like they give us here. we can go to my place if you wanna get away from your brother or whatever, i’ll have the place to myself for a few more months since my friend is still on base. we could do whatever ya want…” i decided to be more teasing towards the end, something i really only did if i was comfortable with someone. i was definitely comfortable with Maria, though i dont wanna say that just yet… it might freak her out
”yeah alright” she smiled as she moved around the kitchen as far as she could to were the phone wouldn’t fly off the wall. She lit a cigarette while she kept talking. “Call me when u get home so I know when to come over” she nodded while snapping at Hugo as well as talking, “HEY! U got grease on ur pants go change em!” She snapped before turning back to the phone.
“god I need to get away from him ..” she agreed to what tanner said. “Maybe we can do something fun” she teased back while looking through the kitchen cupboard. “I’ll bring over uh… either paster or soup” she muttered.
”you’ll be the first person i call” i said, grabbing the last few things to put in my bag as i laid down on my bunk.
“you sound like you could use that break. dont worry we’ll do somethin to get your mind off it… and either of those options sounds nice. its been a bit since i’ve seen you or had your cooking… i should be back around 8 tomorrow morning, i gotta unpack a few things, but you can come over whenever you want.”
”alright” she mumbled while walking back to the phone receiver “I’ll see tomorrow morning then” she smiled as she talked, “bye babe” she stated simply before putting the phone down.

a large smirk grew on my face as i pulled her closer to me, placing a gentle kiss on her lips almost as if saying “i made it home alive” or a gentle reminder that i came back in one piece.
“i know youre gonna hate me for sayin it but i missed ya darlin. base is real borin when i cant see you.”
”yeah well don’t get to love struck lover boy” she teased before kissing him back again one had trailing to his hair. Once they pulled away she looked over his face for a second then pulled away. “I made pasta, just Mac and cheese” she shrugged and walked inside the home she knew well.
“So, do you need help un packing?” She asked while already picking up a few things lying around. She adjusted her singlet and started moving around. She always found some way to keep busy or moving. She glanced at him, seeing tanner standing there watching her. He was handsome, and his skin had tanned to a darker shade. She hadn’t noticed his hair had looked like he only had a shower not long ago. She was lucky he treated her right.
“what?” She smiled slightly to see him looking at her with that look he always wore when he got back home.
”nothin darlin. just a hell of a lot better to be back here with you than in my bunk surrounded by a bunch of disgusting horny ass men talking bout ladies in some rude ass ways. you shoulda seen some of them fights i got into with guys in my bunk…” i went to the fridge and grabbed to beers, offering one to her before popping the lid off both bottles, even if she didnt drink it, i would.
“mac and cheese is more than fine by the way… and yeah i could use some help un packing. got a hell of a lotta stuff i gotta put away from while i was gone. shouldnt take too long though most of it is just clothes that gotta be hung up. had to wash em all before i left just in case they had anything on them.”
”alright” she nodded while taking the beer and having a sip. “All guys are assholes anyways, the ones who talk dirty” she shrugged while cleaning up around the living room. “Except you, ya aint so bad” she raised her brows as she looked at him.
“I make amazing Mac and cheese so ya better like it” she jokes while pushing her hair from her face as she moved around the house, taking a look at a few photos Tanner had up.
”well i would hope im one of the good ones if you deal with me.” i laughed slightly, more of a playful scoff. “im sure i would like anythin ya make.”
while cleaning up the kitchen and living room a bit i saw Maria looking around at some photos, some of the two of us, a few i took with some friends at base, and very few scattered around of my little brother and sister, “ya like the pictures? i took most of em myself…”
”they could be better” she joked before turning to face him again. “Nah.. they’re real good Tanner” she nodded “u got my good side” Maria nodded her head to a photo with both of them then one of just her. She slowly walked back over to him, fixing his hair slightly.
“your not so bad” he smiled and pecked his jaw “I mean Hugo loves you, so that’s a win” she straightened up the Dog Tags around his neck, the ones he always gave her when he was back home but borrowed them when he had to leave for a while.
”well i mean it shouldn’t be hard, every side’s your good side. despite what you may think, you’re a real catch… im lucky i got ya”
i hummed lightly as she kissed my jaw, realizing how much i missed the feeling in those three months. “well i’m glad your brother likes me, it’s probably working better for my case since i’m gone a lot.” as she straightened up my dog tags i took a moment to really take it all in. the feeling of safety in the chaos, the feeling of home, the fact that i had a gorgeous girl i could call my own right in front of my eyes.
“you wanna wear my dog tags again? i really only have to wear them when im out at base and all our when they need me on the field… in case anything happens yknow… identification.” i said slightly sadly. it wasn’t uncommon that i would think about them. the way we only get those necklaces to tell people who we are, not while we’re living… but if we’re dead. if you die on the field and have your dog tags they put it between your two front teeth and kick it in… it makes sure it stays. that way when they have enough time to collect the bodies they can read your number and match it with your name, being you home to your family and make the dreaded visits. i’ve had to do one too many of those procedures, even the first one was too much in my opinion.
”yeah, but ya’ never gonna need em anyways” she mumbled while pulling the necklace over his head and sliding it over her own and fucking it under her singlet. “You know that baseball you gave him, he still has it” she smiled while tracing the tattoos on his upper arm.
“I’ll go heat up the food” she smiled running her hand across his torso before she wakes into the kitchen, putting the macaroni into the microwave and started getting plates ready while humming an Beatles song to herself.
”well we better knock on wood and pray to God i don’t… im tryna make it back home to ya” i said as i lightly played with the bottom of her shirt. “well im glad, someone back in texas gave it to me but i had no use for it, figured he would like it a whole lot more”
i walked into the kitchen carrying both our bottles of beer and setting them at the small table, as well as getting us both a glass of water. “so, what did ya do while i was gone all that time, update me on everything, i wanna hear it all… including that song your humming”
((paus. my auto correct made it ‘fucking’ it was supposed to say tucking.. damn bro))
“Hm.. worked odd jobs” she shrugged while serving up the plates .. “uh.. smokes 500 packs? And got a few more records .. stole some shit like normal. Got money in time before the water cut off” she stated mindlessly while putting the now full plates on the bench.
“I also found out that Hugo is gay now?” Shes scrunched her brows while sitting down and taking a sip of her beer, “that was a lot to get through but I till love him” she muttered while stiring her food. “ might have missed you sometimes..” she smirked while tucking her hair behind her ears as she ate the food.
“well it sounds like you had your hands full … at least the water didn’t get shut off. if you ever need to borrow any money or anything while i’m away, you know where i keep it, i’ll go to someone at base and make a few rigged bets and get it back so it’s no big deal…”
“i mean as long as the kid is happy” i shrugged, “and i’m glad to hear you missed me too, at least i know it wasn’t one sided” i said while getting a fork full of the macaroni and eating it. it was better than anything i had in those three months, something that actually resembled and tasted like food. “the macaroni’s real good”
she didn’t say much just smiled while looking at her food as she kept eating. “Thanks” she replied while glancing at him. He was handsome, she loved him a whole lot even if she didn’t say it out loud but she definetly showed it. “I’m fine I don’t need no money” Maria nodded while chewing her food, she never took money she always worked for it.
“what’s about you? I ain’t heard much of your heroic war story’s yet? Save some people’s lives?” She joked while twirling her fork in her hand. “Show any guys my picture” she smiled smugly obviously joking.
”well if you ever do, give me a call and tell me how much, i promise ill make it all back… it could be like you were the one taking advantage of those asshole guys idioticness… they deserve it anyways” i said while scarfing down some more of the food
“mhm well most of it is training and shit. getting us ready in case. there’s some things i can’t say yet, but there uh might be a war coming up… so, they’ve been training us for that… running extra drills, making sure we’re in perfect shape, stuff like that. we had a few small missions, nothing too exciting, more just get in get our type stuff… some spying but that’s not really my job, it’s more of what my friend is doing for now, that’s why he’s not back for a while… gotta keep an eye on the whole situation. just… make sure you’re ready, try to stock up some stuff if you can, make sure yall have some place safe you can go if anything happens. i heard the Curtis’ have a storm shelter, might wanna see if Hugo can help yall out with getting acquainted with them in case.” i said, lightly messing with my fork. i was overly stressed with the situation. there was a possibility of us going to war with Vietnam and if we did, i would be one of the first ones thrown out there.
“oh yeah. definitely showed it to everyone there” i laughed jokingly
((i saw a headcanon that the Curtis’ were the only ones nearby that had a storm shelter and whenever theres a storm they all run there, i really liked it and i figured it could apply to if theres war too… i tried to add in time accurate stuff but in this household we do not draft the gang like Steve and Soda to go die in war because SE Hinton was only saying that as an acting method))
Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.
“don’t get shot before u come back” she smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She wasn’t going to say ‘I miss you or I love you’ yet, she wasn’t that kind of person. “What’s do u want for dinner the night u get home?” She asked simply. Hugo walked through the house someone retailing behind which was just Dez, she gave them a nod and wave as she kept talking. Truth was she missed tanner a lot but no way she would ever admit that.
-@morettisiblings (for tanner ofc)
from the other end of the line i was packing up my stuff. i come home tomorrow, meaning that i had to pack up my current stuff from my bunk. i would have my house to myself for a bit, being that my friend was still needed, he had a different job than i did, something that required him to stay a lot longer at once.
“its alright, i dont plan on being anywhere near a gun other than my own for a bit, even then i dont get to bring it back with me.”
i was packing up my stuff when i suddenly came across a photo of both Maria and i. one that i had kept nicer. i quickly put it into my pocket, making sure it was safe and close to me before saying, “im fine with whatever you make darlin’, doesnt have to be anything special, im just happy to have actual food that isnt some prepackaged bullshit like they give us here. we can go to my place if you wanna get away from your brother or whatever, i’ll have the place to myself for a few more months since my friend is still on base. we could do whatever ya want…” i decided to be more teasing towards the end, something i really only did if i was comfortable with someone. i was definitely comfortable with Maria, though i dont wanna say that just yet… it might freak her out
”yeah alright” she smiled as she moved around the kitchen as far as she could to were the phone wouldn’t fly off the wall. She lit a cigarette while she kept talking. “Call me when u get home so I know when to come over” she nodded while snapping at Hugo as well as talking, “HEY! U got grease on ur pants go change em!” She snapped before turning back to the phone.
“god I need to get away from him ..” she agreed to what tanner said. “Maybe we can do something fun” she teased back while looking through the kitchen cupboard. “I’ll bring over uh… either paster or soup” she muttered.
”you’ll be the first person i call” i said, grabbing the last few things to put in my bag as i laid down on my bunk.
“you sound like you could use that break. dont worry we’ll do somethin to get your mind off it… and either of those options sounds nice. its been a bit since i’ve seen you or had your cooking… i should be back around 8 tomorrow morning, i gotta unpack a few things, but you can come over whenever you want.”
”alright” she mumbled while walking back to the phone receiver “I’ll see tomorrow morning then” she smiled as she talked, “bye babe” she stated simply before putting the phone down.

“you sound like you could use that break. dont worry we’ll do somethin to get your mind off it… and either of those options sounds nice. its been a bit since i’ve seen you or had your cooking… i should be back around 8 tomorrow morning, i gotta unpack a few things, but you can come over whenever you want.”
”alright” she mumbled while walking back to the phone receiver “I’ll see tomorrow morning then” she smiled as she talked, “bye babe” she stated simply before putting the phone down.
*time skip the next day 9:30 am Maria arriving at tanners place like normal*
at around 9:30 i heard a knock on my door, light but commanding. i quickly stopped putting my stuff away and went to go grab the door. i opened it to see the only person i was patiently expecting, Maria, and good God did she look even more gorgeous than i remembered. this is what the military does to a person, your significant other always shocks you with how good they look when you come back from a mission.
a large smirk grew on my face as i pulled her closer to me, placing a gentle kiss on her lips almost as if saying “i made it home alive” or a gentle reminder that i came back in one piece.
“i know youre gonna hate me for sayin it but i missed ya darlin. base is real borin when i cant see you.”
”yeah well don’t get to love struck lover boy” she teased before kissing him back again one had trailing to his hair. Once they pulled away she looked over his face for a second then pulled away. “I made pasta, just Mac and cheese” she shrugged and walked inside the home she knew well.
“So, do you need help un packing?” She asked while already picking up a few things lying around. She adjusted her singlet and started moving around. She always found some way to keep busy or moving. She glanced at him, seeing tanner standing there watching her. He was handsome, and his skin had tanned to a darker shade. She hadn’t noticed his hair had looked like he only had a shower not long ago. She was lucky he treated her right.
“what?” She smiled slightly to see him looking at her with that look he always wore when he got back home.
”nothin darlin. just a hell of a lot better to be back here with you than in my bunk surrounded by a bunch of disgusting horny ass men talking bout ladies in some rude ass ways. you shoulda seen some of them fights i got into with guys in my bunk…” i went to the fridge and grabbed to beers, offering one to her before popping the lid off both bottles, even if she didnt drink it, i would.
“mac and cheese is more than fine by the way… and yeah i could use some help un packing. got a hell of a lotta stuff i gotta put away from while i was gone. shouldnt take too long though most of it is just clothes that gotta be hung up. had to wash em all before i left just in case they had anything on them.”
”alright” she nodded while taking the beer and having a sip. “All guys are assholes anyways, the ones who talk dirty” she shrugged while cleaning up around the living room. “Except you, ya aint so bad” she raised her brows as she looked at him.
“I make amazing Mac and cheese so ya better like it” she jokes while pushing her hair from her face as she moved around the house, taking a look at a few photos Tanner had up.
”well i would hope im one of the good ones if you deal with me.” i laughed slightly, more of a playful scoff. “im sure i would like anythin ya make.”
while cleaning up the kitchen and living room a bit i saw Maria looking around at some photos, some of the two of us, a few i took with some friends at base, and very few scattered around of my little brother and sister, “ya like the pictures? i took most of em myself…”
”they could be better” she joked before turning to face him again. “Nah.. they’re real good Tanner” she nodded “u got my good side” Maria nodded her head to a photo with both of them then one of just her. She slowly walked back over to him, fixing his hair slightly.
“your not so bad” he smiled and pecked his jaw “I mean Hugo loves you, so that’s a win” she straightened up the Dog Tags around his neck, the ones he always gave her when he was back home but borrowed them when he had to leave for a while.
”well i mean it shouldn’t be hard, every side’s your good side. despite what you may think, you’re a real catch… im lucky i got ya”
i hummed lightly as she kissed my jaw, realizing how much i missed the feeling in those three months. “well i’m glad your brother likes me, it’s probably working better for my case since i’m gone a lot.” as she straightened up my dog tags i took a moment to really take it all in. the feeling of safety in the chaos, the feeling of home, the fact that i had a gorgeous girl i could call my own right in front of my eyes.
“you wanna wear my dog tags again? i really only have to wear them when im out at base and all our when they need me on the field… in case anything happens yknow… identification.” i said slightly sadly. it wasn’t uncommon that i would think about them. the way we only get those necklaces to tell people who we are, not while we’re living… but if we’re dead. if you die on the field and have your dog tags they put it between your two front teeth and kick it in… it makes sure it stays. that way when they have enough time to collect the bodies they can read your number and match it with your name, being you home to your family and make the dreaded visits. i’ve had to do one too many of those procedures, even the first one was too much in my opinion.
”yeah, but ya’ never gonna need em anyways” she mumbled while pulling the necklace over his head and sliding it over her own and fucking it under her singlet. “You know that baseball you gave him, he still has it” she smiled while tracing the tattoos on his upper arm.
“I’ll go heat up the food” she smiled running her hand across his torso before she wakes into the kitchen, putting the macaroni into the microwave and started getting plates ready while humming an Beatles song to herself.
Maria was in the kitchen again standing by the phone as she had it held to her ear and twirled the cord mindlessly around her finger while talking to tanner. They had been dating officially for almost 3 months now, he had left for another military thing 4 weeks ago but would be back tomorrow.
“don’t get shot before u come back” she smiled even though he couldn’t see her. She wasn’t going to say ‘I miss you or I love you’ yet, she wasn’t that kind of person. “What’s do u want for dinner the night u get home?” She asked simply. Hugo walked through the house someone retailing behind which was just Dez, she gave them a nod and wave as she kept talking. Truth was she missed tanner a lot but no way she would ever admit that.
-@morettisiblings (for tanner ofc)
from the other end of the line i was packing up my stuff. i come home tomorrow, meaning that i had to pack up my current stuff from my bunk. i would have my house to myself for a bit, being that my friend was still needed, he had a different job than i did, something that required him to stay a lot longer at once.
“its alright, i dont plan on being anywhere near a gun other than my own for a bit, even then i dont get to bring it back with me.”
i was packing up my stuff when i suddenly came across a photo of both Maria and i. one that i had kept nicer. i quickly put it into my pocket, making sure it was safe and close to me before saying, “im fine with whatever you make darlin’, doesnt have to be anything special, im just happy to have actual food that isnt some prepackaged bullshit like they give us here. we can go to my place if you wanna get away from your brother or whatever, i’ll have the place to myself for a few more months since my friend is still on base. we could do whatever ya want…” i decided to be more teasing towards the end, something i really only did if i was comfortable with someone. i was definitely comfortable with Maria, though i dont wanna say that just yet… it might freak her out
”yeah alright” she smiled as she moved around the kitchen as far as she could to were the phone wouldn’t fly off the wall. She lit a cigarette while she kept talking. “Call me when u get home so I know when to come over” she nodded while snapping at Hugo as well as talking, “HEY! U got grease on ur pants go change em!” She snapped before turning back to the phone.
“god I need to get away from him ..” she agreed to what tanner said. “Maybe we can do something fun” she teased back while looking through the kitchen cupboard. “I’ll bring over uh… either paster or soup” she muttered.

Hugo was currently working at the DX under a car while music played from a radio near by. He poked his tongue out with focusing on the metal he was trying to repair. “Stupid .. shit” he muttered as he couldnt unscrew a tight bolt. He heard someone walk in the DX but didn’t mind it knowing Steve or soda would handle it.
-@morettisiblings
He heard Soda greet the potential customer, and the two talked for a while. Steve eventually joined in, and after a while he heard footsteps enter the garage.
“MORETTI!” Steve called from the entrance. “You’ve got a customer.”
Steve pulled Hugo’s rolling cart he’d been laying on with his foot, looking down at him. “Me and Soda are busy, so you’re on own with this one. Think you can handle it?”
The other boy with Steve was a boy around their age, with light brown hair that almost looked blonde and brown eyes. He smiled down at Hugo, friendly and genuine, and something about his smile made his stomach twist.. Not good.
Hugo hit his head as Steve pulled him out from under the car "fuck, jeez Steve!" He snapped his hand holding the head where he hit it before he looked up from where he still sat on rolling cart.
Hugo froze for a second seeming the young grease but quickly snapped out of it. "Yeah man, what's ur you need?" Hug asked simply.
he stood and grabbed a rag wiping the grease off his hands although it didn't do much. "You wanna buy a car part?" He shrugged while grabbing the tool box he was using before and putting it on the bench. He finally turned leaning on the car in the works and facing the greaser looking at him longer than he ment to.
The boy shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned against a tool box. “I was wondering if you could tune up my car a bit? I’ve got a race coming up, and I just wanna make sure I’m not gonna have any problems.”
Hugo cleared his throat and nodded “yeah, yeah is it uh parked outside?” He questioned as they both walked out the garage door to the car. “Sweet ride” Hugo smiled as I looked at the car “so u just want me to check the engine and tires?.. I can check the brakes to” he nodded already lifting up the hood.
He leaned against the side of the car. “Yeah, I just don’t want it to give out on me in the middle of the race.”
After a moment of silence, the boy seemed to realize something. “Aw damn, what’s wrong with me? I never even told you my name!” He extended a hand for Hugo to shake. “I’m Griffin. Griffin Conroy.” He gave a slight shrug. “Most people just call me Griff, though.”
Hugo raised his brows but after a second he shook the boys hand. “Hugo Moretti” he nodded before turning back to the car and checking the engine “shoulda known you was griffin..” Hugo laughed slightly “Steve and soda always talk about drag races and you were mentioned” he nodded as he continued working on the car.
“how old are ya?” Hugo asked simply making conversation.
”same” he nodded as he closed the hood of the car and started testing the tires and how much air was in them. “Yeah except their pissed you alway beat them” he laughed standing back up from where he was kneeling. “Ur all good” he nodded to the car.
Griff chuckled again. “Well, you can tell them they aren’t so bad themselves. I’ve actually worked up quite the sweat trying to keep up.” While it was well known that Griff was one of the best drag racers in Tulsa, he still had reputation for being shockingly modest. It was easy to understand his popularity.
”yeah sure” Hugo said in an amused tone knowing griffin beat them easy. “They’re good but not that good” he smirked while fiddling with the St Mary necklace around his neck. “I ain’t seen you round town much?” Hugo questioned “or maybe I’m just blind, thought I guess it’s the first time we are meeting?” He shrugged.
“Oh I live on the East side. I just don’t really hang out in town a lot. All my friends live on the same street.” What he left out was that he lived in one of the non-white parts of Tulsa with his mother, where all of the ethnic families lived. It was just easier hanging out with the other Mexican kids in town than it was to feel like he was walking on eggshells around everyone else.
”fair enough” Hugo nodded while closing uo the tool box he used and picked it up. “Uh.. yer’ car is fine, brakes are good” he stated while testing a tire one last time. “Don’t doubt you will win, from what I’m hearin ya real good” he nodded to the car.
“come by again if you need somethin’” he shrugged while starting to walk back inside. But he had a twisting feeling in his stomach when they both made eye contact while talking.
”hm?” He turned back around with his brows raised as he watched griffin walk towards him. His thumbs hooks in his jeans, watching another car drive into the DX but soda was already on it. “Yea, man?” He asked waiting to see what he has to say.
“Would you wanna come tonight? To the race, I mean.” Griff asked, his hands shoved into his pockets. “They’re usually pretty fun, and it’d be nice knowing I’ve got another fan in the crowd.”
Hugo paused for a second before nodding “yeah sure, I’ll bring soda and Steve down .. their still fixing their car so I don’t think their racin’” he shrugged “see you later man” he gave a simple smile, he was definetly exited.
Griff’s smile widened. “Sweet, I’ll see you there!” He watched Hugo walk away and when he was out of earshot he pumped his fist once. “Yes!!” He whispered.
Hugo was standing on a street corner just outside of town with his arms crossed while Steve and soda argued beside him. Hugo was chewing a piece of gum while looking around for griffin. “Yo weres griffin?” Hugo muttered to soda. “I dunno.. chill man he’s probably checking his car over or something, lover boy” Steve butted in before soda could answer.
“I don’t like griffin?” Hugo snapped a little too quickly as he shifted on the spot. “Alright jeez man..” Steve laughed before getting distracted.
Griff was standing over by his car, adjusting the mirrors, and he straightened himself up when he was done to give it a once-over. He looked over and noticed Hugo, smiling at him widely. He jogged over to the trio. “Hey, you made it!”
”hey” Hugo smiled back as Steve and soda turned to him as well. “Course we came?” Hugo shrugged like it was stupod to think they wouldn’t. “Yer’ gonna win it man” he nodded while shifting on the spot.
“Thanks a lot, man, I hope I do.” He looked at Soda and Steve. “Really wish you giys were doing this, though. Racing’s no fun without you two.
Soda sighed, thumbs in his jean pockets. “Believe me, we wish so too. Then this dummy went and wrecked the car.” He said, pointing a thumb in Steve’s direction, who gave him a sideways glare and an overdramatic huff. “Oh, shut your trap, Soda. Not my fault that jackass swerved right into me at the end of the lap.”
Griff laughed. “Well, I can’t wait for you guys to get back on the streets. Everyone else is too easy to beat.”
Soda smiled. “Believe me, Conroy, we can’t either. Now get over to your car and give em hell.”
“I sure will!” He looked at Hugo. “Wish me luck.” He smiled again and rushed over to his car.
”yeah man, good luck” Hugo smiled back as he pointed finger guns at griffin. “He’s gonna smash them aint he” Hugo stated to soda who stood next to him.
“Yeah he’ll be done 10 minutes before everyone” soda joked while leaving to grab a drink before the race start.
Hugo watched Griff interact with the other racers. He was so energetic and genuine with everything he did. The way he smiled at people like he was truly glad to see them, the way he laughed like a joke somebody made was actually funny. He was a rare kind of person to come across.
The announcer called all the racers to the starting line and Griff looked up and climbed into his car, starting the engine and pulling up with the other cars.
Hugo watched him with a small smile, he couldn’t help but have a tight feeling in his chest when he saw griffin but he pushed that feeling away. As he watxhed griffin hop in his car Hugo had a way of excitement and nerves run through his body.
what if he crashes?, what if he doesn’t win?, but as he over heard other people talk; they were saying how good griffin was and he instantly knew hew was gonna win the race with ease.
