“yo, you look kinda familiar!” never mind the fact that he’d damn near bowled her right the fuck over on the sidewalk; beau could swear he’s seen her face before. hands settle at her shoulders to steady her despite the fact that her face looks a little like she wants to stab him -- he can’t tell if that’s for running into her in the first place or if it’s because he’s touching her now. “you from around here?” and... that sounded like a pick-up line. he swears it isn’t.

SING TO ME INSTEAD / @webscoded

beau rubs at the back of his neck, trying to ignore the odd twist in his stomach at her words. she sounds too sincere given that she’s said the same words before in jest; she’s being honest here instead of fucking with him.

which, instead, just fucks him up more.

LET’S GET INTIMATE / @webscoded

the door to his apartment is unlocked when he gets home. he has a brief moment of panic – he hasn’t had someone in his home in what feels like forever – before he remembers that there’s only one person who knows where he keeps the spare. that fact, combined with the fact that his door’s still on its hinges, no sign of having been kicked in?

beau relaxes before he steps through the door.

and nearly drops his fucking keys at the sight of dani. it’s not that she’s there that’s the surprise – she’d figured out where his spare key was pretty fast, and he hadn’t bothered to move it. it’s what she’s wearing. that’s his shirt and he knows it, and he’s pretty sure that the sweats hanging low on her hips are his, too.

“yo, uh, i feel like i missed somethin’ here,” he says slowly, snorting out an ugly laugh when she spins around in surprise. “you spill shit all over your clothes or somethin’?” god, he hopes there wasn’t anything embarrassing out in the open when she went digging for clothes to wear.

shut up, i just wanted to be comfy.

I LOVE YOU, BITCH / @webscoded

he gets the serious impression that she’s joking, and that he’s supposed to know it. there’s no fucking way that’s a serious pick-up line, is there? beau realizes he’s been staring at her – gaping at her, really, all open-mouthed and startled – for an uncomfortably long time at this point. look, he just doesn’t want to say yes, or even just fucking go for it, and find out that she was kidding.

he’s pretty fucking sure that he’s not ready for that level of embarrassment today.

UP S.CHITT’S CREEK / @webscoded

“well, that’s just fucking rude–” 

beau is grinning as he speaks, though, so clearly he isn’t all that torn up about it. sometimes, the look of confused – or even irritated – amusement that crosses somebody’s face any time he says something fucking dumb that he tells himself he shouldn’t? it kinda makes it worth it, to be honest. 

plus, dani’s kinda cute when she looks like she can’t decide if she wants to laugh at him or punch him, so apparently that’s something he’s into. he’s learning so much about himself today.

he’s pretty sure that he should not do that, that he should hold her back instead. the thing is that he may not have known dani long, he’s still not fucking dumb enough to try to stop the unstoppable force that she is when she’s pissed off.

he kinda likes his face the way it is, thanks.

UNTIL DAWN STARTERS / @webscoded

he wouldn’t say that he’s a glass half empty kind of motherfucker, really; he just likes to think he’s being realistic. glass half empty? ha. he pulls a face, eyes sliding to the side like he’s expecting to find himself staring into a camera.

BEAST BOY DIALOGUE / @webscoded

"gee, beau, i sure am glad you don’t have a life,” he says in a too-high parody of her voice, schooling his expression into one of exaggerated irritation. he’s not bothered, really -- he’s amused more than anything. besides, it’s fucking nice to get out of the house for something other than work or grocery shopping.

adulthood fucking sucks; fuck anybody who says otherwise.
