let's be scared together

DO NOT FORGET THIS DATE, DO YOU HATE FALSETTOS? I DONT CARE. DO YOU LOVE FALSETTOS? GOOD! WATCH IT WATCHHHHHH IT ON PBS. IF YOU CONSUME BOOTLEGS AND SUCH IT IS DOUBLELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO WATCH THESE THINGS AND SEE THESE THINGS WHEN IN YOUR CONTROL AND WITHIN YOUR FUNDS. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WENT TO GO SEE FALSETTOS 4 TIMES. BECAUSE 40$ WAS STILL CHEAPER THEN SEEING IT ON BROADWAY. 

My parents waited to have me and my

sister - my dad was 43 when my mother

had me, and my mom was 38. They

purposefully waited until they had had

their adventures in life so that we wouldn’t

represent the end of their freedom.

When Marvin opens his palm to reveal the circle of gold, Whizzer laughs.

Which - okay. That’s a little…discouraging, to say the least.

“What is that?” Whizzer demands, looking endlessly amused, “Marv, Sweetie, you know I’m not knocked up, right? We don’t need a shotgun wedding.”

“It’s a promise ring.” Marvin explains, his voice growing curt at the flippant mockery on his boyfriend’s face, “I thought it would be - you know, romantic.”

Whizzer doesn’t even seem to get the significance of this whole ordeal as he just grabs from Marvin’s hand and places it on his finger, all the while snorting, “A promise ring? What are you promising then - not to throttle me when I burn the macaroni and cheese?”

No, it’s my endless love and devotion to you.

“If you don’t want it, then give it back,” Marvin says, his voice way sharper than intended, “It’s not a big deal.”

He reaches for the ring but Whizzer recoils back, the amusement slipping from his face.

“Fuck off. You already promised your love for me.” Whizzer says, strangely defensive all of a sudden, though there’s feigned humor in his serious voice as if he’s still trying to play it down, “There’s no take-backs for that shit.”

Marvin rolls his eyes, “Whizzer, you don’t have to pretend for me - “ But then he catches sight of the way that Whizzer is twisting the band around his finge as he silently marvels at the way that the fluorescent lighting catches the gold and makes it glow.

Marvin cuts himself off abruptly.

“Thanks, Marvin.” Whizzer says after a pause, his voice strangled with sincerity and awkwardness, “Really.”
