Okay but why is the only thing I cant picture after reading The New Beginning is how excited Paul would be to teach the other boys (who are interested) or his s/o how to roller skate?? I feel like he would be so happy to show/teach someone one of his hobbies and how cute it would be especially if whoever he's teaching has awful balance and he has to sorta hold onto them to help them stop from falling. But another part of me thinks he would definitely find it amusing trying to watch them figure out how to roller skate lolol *also I loved the little series you had for him ā¤ *
I didnāt mean to go off like this but anon you made me THINK.Ā
Also thank you so so so much, I loved writing those headcanons so much and Iām glad you loved them too! If you have any other interesting thoughtĀ about the boys/my headcanons I would absolutely love to hear them!Ā

Youāre 100% right anon. While I only really mentioned that the boys never joined that doesnāt mean Paul didnāt want them to. He definitely has bought stolen a pair of skates for all the boys and his s/o when he discovered how wonderful skate disco was.Ā
Dwayne was the second best (the first being Paul) thanks to his skills with skateboarding, he actually kinda it more on itās own since he didnāt enjoy dancing that much. So he usually would just join Paul in some nighttime skating at the skate park after the club closes early. He liked the mobility that wasnāt provided by skateboarding the most but didnāt really break the skates out much because he didnāt like going without Paul. His skates were leopard print, you can not change my mind, he keeps them on top of his board just in case he does feel like going out with Paul after heās done at the club.
Marko was indifferent about it, his balance wasnāt great but it wasnāt horrible either. Marko isnāt a bad dancer either, he learned quite a lot from Daisy and his mom, he had moves, but that paired with some skates? He was falling on his ass 70% of the time. Heās quick to lose balance after getting a little too into the music. The main main reason why he determined disco wasnāt his thing was because Marko needed some space, like bad. If not heās knocking people over by accident (or on purpose), hitting people in the face, kicking people. After the numerous complaints sent his way and the amount of times he nearly got both Paul and himself kicked out he decided he should probably keep his moves at concerts and in the cave, afterall he didnāt want to ruin Paulās fun because he couldnāt contain himself. His skates are hot pink with a white stripe that goes up the side.
David was the least happy when Paul suggested he learn how to roller skate, the scowl on his face was permanently etched into his face the entire time he had them on. He was about as graceful as a newborn deer when it came to skating, therefore he hated it. Plus Paul had picked him out a sparkly pair of purple skates and he hated them, he specifically told Paul he wanted the green ones but nooo they didnāt have any! ridiculous. He did at least try to learn though, especially after all heād done to Paul he kinda owed him. So he sucked it up and let Paul teach him how to balance in the painful ugly skates strapped to his feet. After countless faceplants and glares sent towards Paul who was doubled over on the floor laughing, David was finally able to balance. Paul had cheered and excitedly told the others that David finally did it,Ā āmy boyās all grown upā heād say before wiping away a fake tear. After that David tucked the skates deep into his old chest and never looked at them again.Ā
Paul was the most gentle with his s/o though, I mean theyāre a fragile human they could fall and break their ankle or something. So he was extra cautious, hold their hand and guiding them across the dance floor of the same club he went to every night in the 70s. He had actually become friends with the owner who was- conveniently enough- a vampire too. So Paul was allowed inside when the place closed. He would have a big goofy smile on his face the whole time, his yellow skates looking so out of place amongst his punk outfit, it was cute. He would give them actually helpful pointers on how to go faster, how to stop, how to slow down if youāre going too fast, all that jazz. And of course he showed off a little, his years of practice had 100% payed off in his favor, even going as far as doing a flip and sticking the landing perfectly. His s/o would watch in amazement as he leaned back so far his hair dragged on the ground but he was still gliding beautifully across the floor. His partner wasnāt spared of his teasing or laughing though donāt get me wrong, if they fell on their ass he was already laughing, asking if they were okay before laughing again. He felt lucky having someone who interested in his hobbies and wanted to try them out.Ā
Speaking of hobbies, he 100% taught the other boys and his s/o (except for Marko bc he already knows) about astrology. I know I sadly didnāt touch much on it in the story, but heās a sucker for the astrology and has even considered learning about witchcraft just out of curiosity, and because he knew Daisy practiced. Heās a naturally curious person, he loves learning new things and doing new things. So if his s/o does anything cool, collects things, practices anything, plays an instrument he is hooked. Oh this is your hobby? No, our hobby.Ā
