i can't love you in the dark

imagining a scene where fez is trying to push lexi away and he confides in rue about it. and then rue is all, “i’ve known lexi for 14 years and she’s stuck by me even when i treated her like shit. lexi isn’t gonna give up on you that easy”

God I can’t stop thinking about that scene of Fez hunched over the sink, just totally overwhelmed by everything happening. Like Faye and Ash had the benefit of knowing SOMETHING was up. But for Fez this was supposed to be Lexi’s night. Like I truly believe in my heart that he was planning to admit his feelings for her, I think the suit and the flowers and the note were because he was finally going to make moves to have something in his life just for him. like he encouraged her to reach for her dreams, and I think that she showed him that it’s okay to reach for something that he wants just because he wants it. So he’s tied up in that, he’s thinking for once about teenage concerns like looking handsome to his crush and whether she’ll say yes. And then he is suddenly, brutally dragged back into his real world. And his #1 concern has ALWAYS been for Ash so there’s no question what he’s got to do, but GOD he’s leaned over the sink with the whole world on his shoulders once again, and you KNOW he’s feeling the weight of everything he’s about to lose, all that hope, that window of time where he was allowed to just be a kid for once……
