Yeah. It’s me

I’m not a superstar, just some kid out of a little town. And yeah, I’m a mutant

But they’ll know who I am soon enough, once I let them. After all… I’m who I want to be, not who they want

I’m sixteen and about as sweet as saltwater lemonade, and I have a mild obsession with glam rock. So sweet sugar and spice, let me make a statement for y’all

You call me Ziggy, but I’m not made of stardust

I’m made of sound and blinding lights

Rules

- no nsfw

- no homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism, sexism, antisemitism, Zionism, etc etc

- stand with Palestine, Ukraine, Congo and Sudan

Mod - @over-bi-the-wayside

the kindest, most non-aggressive person you know is about to crash out over generative ai.

-lukaaaaaaaas

that-mutant-rocker

Does this require knowing kind and non aggressive people because everyone I know is one or the other

lukas-bianca-and-s

hm... i dunno. in my personal experience (s) its both, but it might be that non-aggressive bit thats more important.

-lukaaaaaaaas

that-mutant-rocker

I don’t know many people

And my situationship is… well she’s kind but not nice and very much not non-aggressive

It’s a mess. I love it. She’s perfect

im going to buy big leather boots with my next paycheck. and then! presents for all my friends.

-lukaaaaaaaas

that-mutant-rocker

Big leather boots are the ultimate confidence boost I will never let anyone lie about that

lukas-bianca-and-s

my boss says i need some confidence, so maybe i can write it off as a company expense.

that-mutant-rocker

I wish you luck, but the irs is scary… might be worth a discount attempt, though!

the-real-tayari

Tayari gets a call late in the evening, and it’s Ziggy’s number. After a moment, the voicemail pops up

[you have: one voicemail]

[voicemail from: Ziggy🧡]

“Hey, tay? It’s me. Anyways, I’m playing a last minute gig in Albany and left a ticket for you up front if you happen to be nearby, I’ll probably stay for a day or something…

Anyways, text me if you can come?”

@that-mutant-rocker

Tayari rubs the sleep out of her eyes, processing the message she just heard. Albany? That's like seven hours away from where she is. How is she-? Oh shit. She needs to get there fast.

She sends a text back to Ziggy in a hurry.

"Hey starlight, I'll see if i can make it, I'm kind of far from home lately. When is the show?"

Oh she really hopes she says in more than seven hours or Tayari is screwed.

that-mutant-rocker

Like, twelve hours? It starts really late, like, eleven- I’m driving there right now actually

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed to herself in relief.

"I'll see if i can catch a ride in time. Don't drive and text my love"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, not needing to hide it.

Don’t worry, I’m pumping gas, that’s why I left a voicemail earlier

the-real-tayari

"Good girl"

I mean, come on, you couldnt expect Tayari not to take advantage of the situation.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy rolls her eyes as a flush rises

And now I’m blushing, meanie

the-real-tayari

Tayari laughs to herself.

"Tell me you don't like it doll <3"

that-mutant-rocker

You know I can’t lie to you-

Ziggy groans softly as she chuckles

the-real-tayari

"See you at the show, gotta start packing and finding a ride. Either way I might not make it. Love you <3"

that-mutant-rocker

It’s okay, I hope you do! Back to the road now, I can’t wait to see if you make it!

Ziggy grinned, slipping back into the car.

An hour before the show, she was pacing the green room mindlessly

the-real-tayari

It had taken Tayari a hell lot more time to get there than she expected. She thought she'd have some time to find someplace to sleep and a nice dinner before the show, but she realised she did not, indeed, have the time to when she got to the place of the gig.

Still, she tried. She shouldnt have. But she did. It was tradition, by now, to invite Ziggy for a bite to a dinner after the show, she couldn't seem like she didn't know what she was doing, or walk around with her stuff. But she made it, with barely twenty minutes to spare.

"Hey stardust" Tayari feigned nonchalance, breathless, but still with that even voice of theirs. "Made it in time?" They tried to taunt, leaning against the door.

that-mutant-rocker

The way Ziggy lit up when she saw them made up for all of it, in seconds. She could’ve squealed, with the at she jumped up to hug Tayari

“Tay!” She exclaimed, grinning softly. “You made it- oh, you know I would’ve bought you a train ticket if you told me where you needed to get here from?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, yeah, but i don't need ya money lovely" tayari scrunched their nose in that 'I won't ever ask for help unless im dying or someone else is because I'm hyperindependant' way. "I made it on my own, see?" They argued gently.

"You nervous or good?" She joked, trying to be playful.

that-mutant-rocker

“It’s not money, it’s a train ticket,” Ziggy argues insistently. “And I know, but you look exhausted and it was a whole thing to get here and I could solve that easily”

She laughed, smiling. “Somehow, I’m still always nervous, just a bit. But always excited”

the-real-tayari

"Honey," Tayari takes her by the shoulders, holding her at arms length so they can look in her eyes. "I'm fine. I can handle myself. Plus, what's the fun in being a nomad if I can't find my way on my own?" They tried to joke.

"You'll do just fine, you always do, I believe in you" they kissed her forehead, moving their hands up to her cheeks.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed softly at that, looking softly into their eyes. “Okay, okay. Tell you what, my grandfather is selling this old van my mom coasted around in her twenties and into my childhood, it’s mine but I don’t use it. Let me rent it to you, like a rent to own situation baby. We’ll make a real contract, I’ll ask a lawyer friend, and you pay me here and there and it’ll be easier to do the nomad thing. Please? And trust me, I’ve been trying to get someone do do something like this anyways. It’s not new but it’s steady and the engine has been fixed up”

The musician sighed, leaning into it, her eyes fluttering shut. “You sleeping somewhere tonight?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed heavily, but gave in in the end. "Fine, if ya insist you little shit" they grumnled affectionately.

"I had a motel room, but it doesn't matter much" they shrugged

that-mutant-rocker

“Yay!” Ziggy grinned, kissing their cheek. “And I do… plus, I want it going to someone I trust with it, she’s my first home”

“Had- well, I forgot to offer earlier… I get a hotel with this gig, it’s a nice room too. Free breakfast and that stuff, I’m getting better contracts these days..” she blushes, shy to ask for what she’s getting at. “I was just gonna offer to share, if you’re interested… more time with you and stuff..”

the-real-tayari

"Oh" Tayari smiled, or well, their version of a smile. "Sure, if you wanna have all my things in a tiny hotel room" they joked. "But let me take you out for dinner then?"

that-mutant-rocker

“Trust me, it’s actually a very decent size, I was very surprised,” Ziggy laughed. “The hotel gave me a free upgrade from my travel points”

She smiled, nodding. “Always, you know I can’t say no very well”

the-real-tayari

"Great, then go before you're too late to your own show." They patted her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy stretched, then kissed the corner of their mouth. She pulled the sparkling mask down, settling loosely into her stage persona.

“See you on the flip side, darling”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched the show from the curtains, cheering Ziggy on and vibing to the music. When the show was done, they waited around as she nodded with a few fans and then left her to the diner.

"You were stunning up there stardust, amazing" they praised, wrapping a strong arm around her shoulders and tugging her in.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, leaning in comfortably and snuggling against their side. “Thank you, lovely… I appreciate that,” she nodded, stretching. “Once I get some glitter off my face, how about that dinner?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, deal" they pulled back to give her some space to cool off and get comfortable.

that-mutant-rocker

A few minutes later, Ziggy returned, changed into a comfortable pair of sweats and a band tshirt, her face somewhat less glittery. “Shall we?”

the-real-tayari

"We shall" Tayari offered their arm, to lead the way.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy easily allowed it. She loved performing, it gave her life and a sense of purpose. But putting her all into shows and as a lot- and it was easy to let her partner take the lead instead of having to plan further

the-real-tayari

Tayari led her to a small family owned diner, a twenty four seven, retro vibed diner. They greeted the owner like they knew her personally (they'd spent a few minutes getting to know her so they could come here and impress Ziggy), and chose the nicer booth.

"Pick anything, my treat superstar" they joked evenly.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy smiled easily, slipping into the same side of the booth. Ever since the evening at her dock, she’d become more comfortable touching and making physical contact with time, happily snuggling into Tayari’s side when they sat down.

“Mmm… chicken and waffles, it’s easy for a reason”

the-real-tayari

"Great, I'll just have a side of fries. I'll go order at the... bar thingie, I'll be back" they got up and went to ask for something at the register, keeping it quiet so Ziggy didnt hear

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy yawned, working casually on editing her content from the concert, intently focused

the-real-tayari

Tayari came back with the food, her order and some fries and a sandwich for them, and a small cupcake with a candle. "Happy... uhm... concert? I dunno, i just wanted to celebrate you a bit, ya came from far," Tayari admitted.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy lit up, eyes sparkling. “You didn’t have to- thank you, you’re so sweet!” She grinned, hugging Tayari tightly. “I love it, you always find the best little things, eh?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari hugged her back awkwardly, they weren't very touchy. "Yeah, yeah" they patted her back. "Blow it out before it fills the cupcake with wax"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy pulled back apologetically, then blew it out happily. “Okay, okay, I’ll make a wish”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched, then gently put some cream on her nose. "I wanted to face smash you but that'd be mean"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy giggled. “This is an acceptable level, thanks for holding back”

the-real-tayari

In a bold move, they kissed the cream off her nose.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed, blushing. “Thank you for the help”

the-real-tayari

"I'm not done" they murmured over her lips.

that-mutant-rocker

Her breath caught, and her hand found a place to rest on their chest. “Is that so?”

the-real-tayari

"You have some here too," they hummed softly, looking down at where Ziggy had found the hard plane of their binder.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy blushed, cocking her head playfully. “Is that so?” She didn’t comment, just enjoying the proximity

the-real-tayari

Like that, Tayari connected their lips gently, briefly, just enough to make it a kiss before pulling back. "Yes, you did" they grinned proudly, sitting back down.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy froze, entirely pleased but suddenly shy, pressing closer and stumbling a little on her way back to her seat, entirely speechless

the-real-tayari

"Eat, or it'll get cold" Tayari gave her a shit eating grin, nibbling on a fry.

that-mutant-rocker

“You, or the cupcake?” Ziggy quipped, finally recovering

the-real-tayari

"The chicken and waffles you ordered, idiot" Tayari taunted, growing mean out of shyness.

that-mutant-rocker

“Yeah, right,” Ziggy blushed, starting to eat, a little self conscious

the-real-tayari

Tayari softened, recognising she was a bit mean. "You did well today, stardust. Really well. You deserve this shit"

that-mutant-rocker

“Thanks… it’s not the best performance I’ve given though, my voice cracked a few times…” it was clear again why she was even more excited than she often got then, when Tayari had appeared with the treat. She was already internally going after herself

the-real-tayari

"Oh shut up" they rolled their eyes. "You. Did. Well. Get that in your head or I will"

that-mutant-rocker

“Now I’m tempted to let you,” Ziggy laughed softly

the-real-tayari

"Yeah? You want me to knock some sense into you? Let me find a bat" they joked, stuffing another fry into their mouth.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy snorted, swallowing before rolling her eyes. “Alright, alright. I was… decent.”

the-real-tayari

"Great" Tayari argued, flicking hwr forehead

that-mutant-rocker

She laughed. After the meal was finished and check paid, they made their way towards the hotel. “We’re pretty high up, be warned”

"I'll see if i can catch a ride in time. Don't drive and text my love"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, not needing to hide it.

Don’t worry, I’m pumping gas, that’s why I left a voicemail earlier

the-real-tayari

"Good girl"

I mean, come on, you couldnt expect Tayari not to take advantage of the situation.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy rolls her eyes as a flush rises

And now I’m blushing, meanie

the-real-tayari

Tayari laughs to herself.

"Tell me you don't like it doll <3"

that-mutant-rocker

You know I can’t lie to you-

Ziggy groans softly as she chuckles

the-real-tayari

"See you at the show, gotta start packing and finding a ride. Either way I might not make it. Love you <3"

that-mutant-rocker

It’s okay, I hope you do! Back to the road now, I can’t wait to see if you make it!

Ziggy grinned, slipping back into the car.

An hour before the show, she was pacing the green room mindlessly

the-real-tayari

It had taken Tayari a hell lot more time to get there than she expected. She thought she'd have some time to find someplace to sleep and a nice dinner before the show, but she realised she did not, indeed, have the time to when she got to the place of the gig.

Still, she tried. She shouldnt have. But she did. It was tradition, by now, to invite Ziggy for a bite to a dinner after the show, she couldn't seem like she didn't know what she was doing, or walk around with her stuff. But she made it, with barely twenty minutes to spare.

"Hey stardust" Tayari feigned nonchalance, breathless, but still with that even voice of theirs. "Made it in time?" They tried to taunt, leaning against the door.

that-mutant-rocker

The way Ziggy lit up when she saw them made up for all of it, in seconds. She could’ve squealed, with the at she jumped up to hug Tayari

“Tay!” She exclaimed, grinning softly. “You made it- oh, you know I would’ve bought you a train ticket if you told me where you needed to get here from?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, yeah, but i don't need ya money lovely" tayari scrunched their nose in that 'I won't ever ask for help unless im dying or someone else is because I'm hyperindependant' way. "I made it on my own, see?" They argued gently.

"You nervous or good?" She joked, trying to be playful.

that-mutant-rocker

“It’s not money, it’s a train ticket,” Ziggy argues insistently. “And I know, but you look exhausted and it was a whole thing to get here and I could solve that easily”

She laughed, smiling. “Somehow, I’m still always nervous, just a bit. But always excited”

the-real-tayari

"Honey," Tayari takes her by the shoulders, holding her at arms length so they can look in her eyes. "I'm fine. I can handle myself. Plus, what's the fun in being a nomad if I can't find my way on my own?" They tried to joke.

"You'll do just fine, you always do, I believe in you" they kissed her forehead, moving their hands up to her cheeks.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed softly at that, looking softly into their eyes. “Okay, okay. Tell you what, my grandfather is selling this old van my mom coasted around in her twenties and into my childhood, it’s mine but I don’t use it. Let me rent it to you, like a rent to own situation baby. We’ll make a real contract, I’ll ask a lawyer friend, and you pay me here and there and it’ll be easier to do the nomad thing. Please? And trust me, I’ve been trying to get someone do do something like this anyways. It’s not new but it’s steady and the engine has been fixed up”

The musician sighed, leaning into it, her eyes fluttering shut. “You sleeping somewhere tonight?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed heavily, but gave in in the end. "Fine, if ya insist you little shit" they grumnled affectionately.

"I had a motel room, but it doesn't matter much" they shrugged

that-mutant-rocker

“Yay!” Ziggy grinned, kissing their cheek. “And I do… plus, I want it going to someone I trust with it, she’s my first home”

“Had- well, I forgot to offer earlier… I get a hotel with this gig, it’s a nice room too. Free breakfast and that stuff, I’m getting better contracts these days..” she blushes, shy to ask for what she’s getting at. “I was just gonna offer to share, if you’re interested… more time with you and stuff..”

the-real-tayari

"Oh" Tayari smiled, or well, their version of a smile. "Sure, if you wanna have all my things in a tiny hotel room" they joked. "But let me take you out for dinner then?"

that-mutant-rocker

“Trust me, it’s actually a very decent size, I was very surprised,” Ziggy laughed. “The hotel gave me a free upgrade from my travel points”

She smiled, nodding. “Always, you know I can’t say no very well”

the-real-tayari

"Great, then go before you're too late to your own show." They patted her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy stretched, then kissed the corner of their mouth. She pulled the sparkling mask down, settling loosely into her stage persona.

“See you on the flip side, darling”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched the show from the curtains, cheering Ziggy on and vibing to the music. When the show was done, they waited around as she nodded with a few fans and then left her to the diner.

"You were stunning up there stardust, amazing" they praised, wrapping a strong arm around her shoulders and tugging her in.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, leaning in comfortably and snuggling against their side. “Thank you, lovely… I appreciate that,” she nodded, stretching. “Once I get some glitter off my face, how about that dinner?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, deal" they pulled back to give her some space to cool off and get comfortable.

that-mutant-rocker

A few minutes later, Ziggy returned, changed into a comfortable pair of sweats and a band tshirt, her face somewhat less glittery. “Shall we?”

the-real-tayari

"We shall" Tayari offered their arm, to lead the way.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy easily allowed it. She loved performing, it gave her life and a sense of purpose. But putting her all into shows and as a lot- and it was easy to let her partner take the lead instead of having to plan further

the-real-tayari

Tayari led her to a small family owned diner, a twenty four seven, retro vibed diner. They greeted the owner like they knew her personally (they'd spent a few minutes getting to know her so they could come here and impress Ziggy), and chose the nicer booth.

"Pick anything, my treat superstar" they joked evenly.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy smiled easily, slipping into the same side of the booth. Ever since the evening at her dock, she’d become more comfortable touching and making physical contact with time, happily snuggling into Tayari’s side when they sat down.

“Mmm… chicken and waffles, it’s easy for a reason”

the-real-tayari

"Great, I'll just have a side of fries. I'll go order at the... bar thingie, I'll be back" they got up and went to ask for something at the register, keeping it quiet so Ziggy didnt hear

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy yawned, working casually on editing her content from the concert, intently focused

the-real-tayari

Tayari came back with the food, her order and some fries and a sandwich for them, and a small cupcake with a candle. "Happy... uhm... concert? I dunno, i just wanted to celebrate you a bit, ya came from far," Tayari admitted.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy lit up, eyes sparkling. “You didn’t have to- thank you, you’re so sweet!” She grinned, hugging Tayari tightly. “I love it, you always find the best little things, eh?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari hugged her back awkwardly, they weren't very touchy. "Yeah, yeah" they patted her back. "Blow it out before it fills the cupcake with wax"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy pulled back apologetically, then blew it out happily. “Okay, okay, I’ll make a wish”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched, then gently put some cream on her nose. "I wanted to face smash you but that'd be mean"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy giggled. “This is an acceptable level, thanks for holding back”

the-real-tayari

In a bold move, they kissed the cream off her nose.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed, blushing. “Thank you for the help”

the-real-tayari

"I'm not done" they murmured over her lips.

that-mutant-rocker

Her breath caught, and her hand found a place to rest on their chest. “Is that so?”

the-real-tayari

"You have some here too," they hummed softly, looking down at where Ziggy had found the hard plane of their binder.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy blushed, cocking her head playfully. “Is that so?” She didn’t comment, just enjoying the proximity

the-real-tayari

Like that, Tayari connected their lips gently, briefly, just enough to make it a kiss before pulling back. "Yes, you did" they grinned proudly, sitting back down.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy froze, entirely pleased but suddenly shy, pressing closer and stumbling a little on her way back to her seat, entirely speechless

the-real-tayari

"Eat, or it'll get cold" Tayari gave her a shit eating grin, nibbling on a fry.

that-mutant-rocker

“You, or the cupcake?” Ziggy quipped, finally recovering

the-real-tayari

"The chicken and waffles you ordered, idiot" Tayari taunted, growing mean out of shyness.

that-mutant-rocker

“Yeah, right,” Ziggy blushed, starting to eat, a little self conscious

the-real-tayari

Tayari softened, recognising she was a bit mean. "You did well today, stardust. Really well. You deserve this shit"

that-mutant-rocker

“Thanks… it’s not the best performance I’ve given though, my voice cracked a few times…” it was clear again why she was even more excited than she often got then, when Tayari had appeared with the treat. She was already internally going after herself

the-real-tayari

"Oh shut up" they rolled their eyes. "You. Did. Well. Get that in your head or I will"

that-mutant-rocker

“Now I’m tempted to let you,” Ziggy laughed softly

Jul 9

the-real-tayari

Tayari gets a call late in the evening, and it’s Ziggy’s number. After a moment, the voicemail pops up

[you have: one voicemail]

[voicemail from: Ziggy🧡]

“Hey, tay? It’s me. Anyways, I’m playing a last minute gig in Albany and left a ticket for you up front if you happen to be nearby, I’ll probably stay for a day or something…

Anyways, text me if you can come?”

@that-mutant-rocker

Tayari rubs the sleep out of her eyes, processing the message she just heard. Albany? That's like seven hours away from where she is. How is she-? Oh shit. She needs to get there fast.

She sends a text back to Ziggy in a hurry.

"Hey starlight, I'll see if i can make it, I'm kind of far from home lately. When is the show?"

Oh she really hopes she says in more than seven hours or Tayari is screwed.

that-mutant-rocker

Like, twelve hours? It starts really late, like, eleven- I’m driving there right now actually

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed to herself in relief.

"I'll see if i can catch a ride in time. Don't drive and text my love"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, not needing to hide it.

Don’t worry, I’m pumping gas, that’s why I left a voicemail earlier

Tayari came back with the food, her order and some fries and a sandwich for them, and a small cupcake with a candle. "Happy... uhm... concert? I dunno, i just wanted to celebrate you a bit, ya came from far," Tayari admitted.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy lit up, eyes sparkling. “You didn’t have to- thank you, you’re so sweet!” She grinned, hugging Tayari tightly. “I love it, you always find the best little things, eh?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari hugged her back awkwardly, they weren't very touchy. "Yeah, yeah" they patted her back. "Blow it out before it fills the cupcake with wax"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy pulled back apologetically, then blew it out happily. “Okay, okay, I’ll make a wish”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched, then gently put some cream on her nose. "I wanted to face smash you but that'd be mean"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy giggled. “This is an acceptable level, thanks for holding back”

the-real-tayari

In a bold move, they kissed the cream off her nose.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed, blushing. “Thank you for the help”

the-real-tayari

"I'm not done" they murmured over her lips.

that-mutant-rocker

Her breath caught, and her hand found a place to rest on their chest. “Is that so?”

the-real-tayari

"You have some here too," they hummed softly, looking down at where Ziggy had found the hard plane of their binder.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy blushed, cocking her head playfully. “Is that so?” She didn’t comment, just enjoying the proximity

the-real-tayari

Like that, Tayari connected their lips gently, briefly, just enough to make it a kiss before pulling back. "Yes, you did" they grinned proudly, sitting back down.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy froze, entirely pleased but suddenly shy, pressing closer and stumbling a little on her way back to her seat, entirely speechless

the-real-tayari

"Eat, or it'll get cold" Tayari gave her a shit eating grin, nibbling on a fry.

that-mutant-rocker

“You, or the cupcake?” Ziggy quipped, finally recovering

the-real-tayari

"The chicken and waffles you ordered, idiot" Tayari taunted, growing mean out of shyness.

that-mutant-rocker

“Yeah, right,” Ziggy blushed, starting to eat, a little self conscious

Jul 9

the-real-tayari

Tayari gets a call late in the evening, and it’s Ziggy’s number. After a moment, the voicemail pops up

[you have: one voicemail]

[voicemail from: Ziggy🧡]

“Hey, tay? It’s me. Anyways, I’m playing a last minute gig in Albany and left a ticket for you up front if you happen to be nearby, I’ll probably stay for a day or something…

Anyways, text me if you can come?”

@that-mutant-rocker

Tayari rubs the sleep out of her eyes, processing the message she just heard. Albany? That's like seven hours away from where she is. How is she-? Oh shit. She needs to get there fast.

She sends a text back to Ziggy in a hurry.

"Hey starlight, I'll see if i can make it, I'm kind of far from home lately. When is the show?"

Oh she really hopes she says in more than seven hours or Tayari is screwed.

that-mutant-rocker

Like, twelve hours? It starts really late, like, eleven- I’m driving there right now actually

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed to herself in relief.

"I'll see if i can catch a ride in time. Don't drive and text my love"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, not needing to hide it.

Don’t worry, I’m pumping gas, that’s why I left a voicemail earlier

the-real-tayari

"Good girl"

I mean, come on, you couldnt expect Tayari not to take advantage of the situation.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy rolls her eyes as a flush rises

And now I’m blushing, meanie

the-real-tayari

Tayari laughs to herself.

"Tell me you don't like it doll <3"

that-mutant-rocker

You know I can’t lie to you-

Ziggy groans softly as she chuckles

the-real-tayari

"See you at the show, gotta start packing and finding a ride. Either way I might not make it. Love you <3"

that-mutant-rocker

It’s okay, I hope you do! Back to the road now, I can’t wait to see if you make it!

Ziggy grinned, slipping back into the car.

An hour before the show, she was pacing the green room mindlessly

the-real-tayari

It had taken Tayari a hell lot more time to get there than she expected. She thought she'd have some time to find someplace to sleep and a nice dinner before the show, but she realised she did not, indeed, have the time to when she got to the place of the gig.

Still, she tried. She shouldnt have. But she did. It was tradition, by now, to invite Ziggy for a bite to a dinner after the show, she couldn't seem like she didn't know what she was doing, or walk around with her stuff. But she made it, with barely twenty minutes to spare.

"Hey stardust" Tayari feigned nonchalance, breathless, but still with that even voice of theirs. "Made it in time?" They tried to taunt, leaning against the door.

that-mutant-rocker

The way Ziggy lit up when she saw them made up for all of it, in seconds. She could’ve squealed, with the at she jumped up to hug Tayari

“Tay!” She exclaimed, grinning softly. “You made it- oh, you know I would’ve bought you a train ticket if you told me where you needed to get here from?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, yeah, but i don't need ya money lovely" tayari scrunched their nose in that 'I won't ever ask for help unless im dying or someone else is because I'm hyperindependant' way. "I made it on my own, see?" They argued gently.

"You nervous or good?" She joked, trying to be playful.

that-mutant-rocker

“It’s not money, it’s a train ticket,” Ziggy argues insistently. “And I know, but you look exhausted and it was a whole thing to get here and I could solve that easily”

She laughed, smiling. “Somehow, I’m still always nervous, just a bit. But always excited”

the-real-tayari

"Honey," Tayari takes her by the shoulders, holding her at arms length so they can look in her eyes. "I'm fine. I can handle myself. Plus, what's the fun in being a nomad if I can't find my way on my own?" They tried to joke.

"You'll do just fine, you always do, I believe in you" they kissed her forehead, moving their hands up to her cheeks.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed softly at that, looking softly into their eyes. “Okay, okay. Tell you what, my grandfather is selling this old van my mom coasted around in her twenties and into my childhood, it’s mine but I don’t use it. Let me rent it to you, like a rent to own situation baby. We’ll make a real contract, I’ll ask a lawyer friend, and you pay me here and there and it’ll be easier to do the nomad thing. Please? And trust me, I’ve been trying to get someone do do something like this anyways. It’s not new but it’s steady and the engine has been fixed up”

The musician sighed, leaning into it, her eyes fluttering shut. “You sleeping somewhere tonight?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed heavily, but gave in in the end. "Fine, if ya insist you little shit" they grumnled affectionately.

"I had a motel room, but it doesn't matter much" they shrugged

that-mutant-rocker

“Yay!” Ziggy grinned, kissing their cheek. “And I do… plus, I want it going to someone I trust with it, she’s my first home”

“Had- well, I forgot to offer earlier… I get a hotel with this gig, it’s a nice room too. Free breakfast and that stuff, I’m getting better contracts these days..” she blushes, shy to ask for what she’s getting at. “I was just gonna offer to share, if you’re interested… more time with you and stuff..”

the-real-tayari

"Oh" Tayari smiled, or well, their version of a smile. "Sure, if you wanna have all my things in a tiny hotel room" they joked. "But let me take you out for dinner then?"

that-mutant-rocker

“Trust me, it’s actually a very decent size, I was very surprised,” Ziggy laughed. “The hotel gave me a free upgrade from my travel points”

She smiled, nodding. “Always, you know I can’t say no very well”

the-real-tayari

"Great, then go before you're too late to your own show." They patted her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy stretched, then kissed the corner of their mouth. She pulled the sparkling mask down, settling loosely into her stage persona.

“See you on the flip side, darling”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched the show from the curtains, cheering Ziggy on and vibing to the music. When the show was done, they waited around as she nodded with a few fans and then left her to the diner.

"You were stunning up there stardust, amazing" they praised, wrapping a strong arm around her shoulders and tugging her in.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, leaning in comfortably and snuggling against their side. “Thank you, lovely… I appreciate that,” she nodded, stretching. “Once I get some glitter off my face, how about that dinner?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, deal" they pulled back to give her some space to cool off and get comfortable.

that-mutant-rocker

A few minutes later, Ziggy returned, changed into a comfortable pair of sweats and a band tshirt, her face somewhat less glittery. “Shall we?”

the-real-tayari

"We shall" Tayari offered their arm, to lead the way.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy easily allowed it. She loved performing, it gave her life and a sense of purpose. But putting her all into shows and as a lot- and it was easy to let her partner take the lead instead of having to plan further

the-real-tayari

Tayari led her to a small family owned diner, a twenty four seven, retro vibed diner. They greeted the owner like they knew her personally (they'd spent a few minutes getting to know her so they could come here and impress Ziggy), and chose the nicer booth.

"Pick anything, my treat superstar" they joked evenly.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy smiled easily, slipping into the same side of the booth. Ever since the evening at her dock, she’d become more comfortable touching and making physical contact with time, happily snuggling into Tayari’s side when they sat down.

“Mmm… chicken and waffles, it’s easy for a reason”

the-real-tayari

"Great, I'll just have a side of fries. I'll go order at the... bar thingie, I'll be back" they got up and went to ask for something at the register, keeping it quiet so Ziggy didnt hear

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy yawned, working casually on editing her content from the concert, intently focused

the-real-tayari

Tayari came back with the food, her order and some fries and a sandwich for them, and a small cupcake with a candle. "Happy... uhm... concert? I dunno, i just wanted to celebrate you a bit, ya came from far," Tayari admitted.

A few minutes later, Ziggy returned, changed into a comfortable pair of sweats and a band tshirt, her face somewhat less glittery. “Shall we?”

the-real-tayari

"We shall" Tayari offered their arm, to lead the way.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy easily allowed it. She loved performing, it gave her life and a sense of purpose. But putting her all into shows and as a lot- and it was easy to let her partner take the lead instead of having to plan further

the-real-tayari

Tayari led her to a small family owned diner, a twenty four seven, retro vibed diner. They greeted the owner like they knew her personally (they'd spent a few minutes getting to know her so they could come here and impress Ziggy), and chose the nicer booth.

"Pick anything, my treat superstar" they joked evenly.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy smiled easily, slipping into the same side of the booth. Ever since the evening at her dock, she’d become more comfortable touching and making physical contact with time, happily snuggling into Tayari’s side when they sat down.

“Mmm… chicken and waffles, it’s easy for a reason”

the-real-tayari

"Great, I'll just have a side of fries. I'll go order at the... bar thingie, I'll be back" they got up and went to ask for something at the register, keeping it quiet so Ziggy didnt hear

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy yawned, working casually on editing her content from the concert, intently focused

the-real-tayari

Tayari came back with the food, her order and some fries and a sandwich for them, and a small cupcake with a candle. "Happy... uhm... concert? I dunno, i just wanted to celebrate you a bit, ya came from far," Tayari admitted.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy lit up, eyes sparkling. “You didn’t have to- thank you, you’re so sweet!” She grinned, hugging Tayari tightly. “I love it, you always find the best little things, eh?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari hugged her back awkwardly, they weren't very touchy. "Yeah, yeah" they patted her back. "Blow it out before it fills the cupcake with wax"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy pulled back apologetically, then blew it out happily. “Okay, okay, I’ll make a wish”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched, then gently put some cream on her nose. "I wanted to face smash you but that'd be mean"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy giggled. “This is an acceptable level, thanks for holding back”

the-real-tayari

In a bold move, they kissed the cream off her nose.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed, blushing. “Thank you for the help”

the-real-tayari

"I'm not done" they murmured over her lips.

that-mutant-rocker

Her breath caught, and her hand found a place to rest on their chest. “Is that so?”

the-real-tayari

"You have some here too," they hummed softly, looking down at where Ziggy had found the hard plane of their binder.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy blushed, cocking her head playfully. “Is that so?” She didn’t comment, just enjoying the proximity

Jul 9

the-real-tayari

Tayari gets a call late in the evening, and it’s Ziggy’s number. After a moment, the voicemail pops up

[you have: one voicemail]

[voicemail from: Ziggy🧡]

“Hey, tay? It’s me. Anyways, I’m playing a last minute gig in Albany and left a ticket for you up front if you happen to be nearby, I’ll probably stay for a day or something…

Anyways, text me if you can come?”

@that-mutant-rocker

Tayari rubs the sleep out of her eyes, processing the message she just heard. Albany? That's like seven hours away from where she is. How is she-? Oh shit. She needs to get there fast.

She sends a text back to Ziggy in a hurry.

"Hey starlight, I'll see if i can make it, I'm kind of far from home lately. When is the show?"

Oh she really hopes she says in more than seven hours or Tayari is screwed.

that-mutant-rocker

Like, twelve hours? It starts really late, like, eleven- I’m driving there right now actually

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed to herself in relief.

"I'll see if i can catch a ride in time. Don't drive and text my love"

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, not needing to hide it.

Don’t worry, I’m pumping gas, that’s why I left a voicemail earlier

the-real-tayari

"Good girl"

I mean, come on, you couldnt expect Tayari not to take advantage of the situation.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy rolls her eyes as a flush rises

And now I’m blushing, meanie

the-real-tayari

Tayari laughs to herself.

"Tell me you don't like it doll <3"

that-mutant-rocker

You know I can’t lie to you-

Ziggy groans softly as she chuckles

the-real-tayari

"See you at the show, gotta start packing and finding a ride. Either way I might not make it. Love you <3"

that-mutant-rocker

It’s okay, I hope you do! Back to the road now, I can’t wait to see if you make it!

Ziggy grinned, slipping back into the car.

An hour before the show, she was pacing the green room mindlessly

the-real-tayari

It had taken Tayari a hell lot more time to get there than she expected. She thought she'd have some time to find someplace to sleep and a nice dinner before the show, but she realised she did not, indeed, have the time to when she got to the place of the gig.

Still, she tried. She shouldnt have. But she did. It was tradition, by now, to invite Ziggy for a bite to a dinner after the show, she couldn't seem like she didn't know what she was doing, or walk around with her stuff. But she made it, with barely twenty minutes to spare.

"Hey stardust" Tayari feigned nonchalance, breathless, but still with that even voice of theirs. "Made it in time?" They tried to taunt, leaning against the door.

that-mutant-rocker

The way Ziggy lit up when she saw them made up for all of it, in seconds. She could’ve squealed, with the at she jumped up to hug Tayari

“Tay!” She exclaimed, grinning softly. “You made it- oh, you know I would’ve bought you a train ticket if you told me where you needed to get here from?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, yeah, but i don't need ya money lovely" tayari scrunched their nose in that 'I won't ever ask for help unless im dying or someone else is because I'm hyperindependant' way. "I made it on my own, see?" They argued gently.

"You nervous or good?" She joked, trying to be playful.

that-mutant-rocker

“It’s not money, it’s a train ticket,” Ziggy argues insistently. “And I know, but you look exhausted and it was a whole thing to get here and I could solve that easily”

She laughed, smiling. “Somehow, I’m still always nervous, just a bit. But always excited”

the-real-tayari

"Honey," Tayari takes her by the shoulders, holding her at arms length so they can look in her eyes. "I'm fine. I can handle myself. Plus, what's the fun in being a nomad if I can't find my way on my own?" They tried to joke.

"You'll do just fine, you always do, I believe in you" they kissed her forehead, moving their hands up to her cheeks.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy laughed softly at that, looking softly into their eyes. “Okay, okay. Tell you what, my grandfather is selling this old van my mom coasted around in her twenties and into my childhood, it’s mine but I don’t use it. Let me rent it to you, like a rent to own situation baby. We’ll make a real contract, I’ll ask a lawyer friend, and you pay me here and there and it’ll be easier to do the nomad thing. Please? And trust me, I’ve been trying to get someone do do something like this anyways. It’s not new but it’s steady and the engine has been fixed up”

The musician sighed, leaning into it, her eyes fluttering shut. “You sleeping somewhere tonight?”

the-real-tayari

Tayari sighed heavily, but gave in in the end. "Fine, if ya insist you little shit" they grumnled affectionately.

"I had a motel room, but it doesn't matter much" they shrugged

that-mutant-rocker

“Yay!” Ziggy grinned, kissing their cheek. “And I do… plus, I want it going to someone I trust with it, she’s my first home”

“Had- well, I forgot to offer earlier… I get a hotel with this gig, it’s a nice room too. Free breakfast and that stuff, I’m getting better contracts these days..” she blushes, shy to ask for what she’s getting at. “I was just gonna offer to share, if you’re interested… more time with you and stuff..”

the-real-tayari

"Oh" Tayari smiled, or well, their version of a smile. "Sure, if you wanna have all my things in a tiny hotel room" they joked. "But let me take you out for dinner then?"

that-mutant-rocker

“Trust me, it’s actually a very decent size, I was very surprised,” Ziggy laughed. “The hotel gave me a free upgrade from my travel points”

She smiled, nodding. “Always, you know I can’t say no very well”

the-real-tayari

"Great, then go before you're too late to your own show." They patted her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy stretched, then kissed the corner of their mouth. She pulled the sparkling mask down, settling loosely into her stage persona.

“See you on the flip side, darling”

the-real-tayari

Tayari watched the show from the curtains, cheering Ziggy on and vibing to the music. When the show was done, they waited around as she nodded with a few fans and then left her to the diner.

"You were stunning up there stardust, amazing" they praised, wrapping a strong arm around her shoulders and tugging her in.

that-mutant-rocker

Ziggy grinned, leaning in comfortably and snuggling against their side. “Thank you, lovely… I appreciate that,” she nodded, stretching. “Once I get some glitter off my face, how about that dinner?”

the-real-tayari

"Yeah, deal" they pulled back to give her some space to cool off and get comfortable.

that-mutant-rocker

A few minutes later, Ziggy returned, changed into a comfortable pair of sweats and a band tshirt, her face somewhat less glittery. “Shall we?”

Tayari led her to a small family owned diner, a twenty four seven, retro vibed diner. They greeted the owner like they knew her personally (they'd spent a few minutes getting to know her so they could come here and impress Ziggy), and chose the nicer booth.

"Pick anything, my treat superstar" they joked evenly.

Ziggy smiled easily, slipping into the same side of the booth. Ever since the evening at her dock, she’d become more comfortable touching and making physical contact with time, happily snuggling into Tayari’s side when they sat down.

“Mmm… chicken and waffles, it’s easy for a reason”

"Great, I'll just have a side of fries. I'll go order at the... bar thingie, I'll be back" they got up and went to ask for something at the register, keeping it quiet so Ziggy didnt hear

Ziggy yawned, working casually on editing her content from the concert, intently focused

Tayari came back with the food, her order and some fries and a sandwich for them, and a small cupcake with a candle. "Happy... uhm... concert? I dunno, i just wanted to celebrate you a bit, ya came from far," Tayari admitted.

Ziggy lit up, eyes sparkling. “You didn’t have to- thank you, you’re so sweet!” She grinned, hugging Tayari tightly. “I love it, you always find the best little things, eh?”

Tayari hugged her back awkwardly, they weren't very touchy. "Yeah, yeah" they patted her back. "Blow it out before it fills the cupcake with wax"

Ziggy pulled back apologetically, then blew it out happily. “Okay, okay, I’ll make a wish”

Tayari watched, then gently put some cream on her nose. "I wanted to face smash you but that'd be mean"

Ziggy giggled. “This is an acceptable level, thanks for holding back”
