Under Cover of Strokeness

HAHAHAHA I’m dying inside rn. Ok so I was cleaning tables and I saw him and thought “oh FUCK. That can’t be HIM.” But then I saw cal and Juliet and I FUCKING KNEW. I went up and asked him if he was in the strokes and he said yeah and so I told him about the letters alexis_carapetis sent him, and he said they were on his desk and he was still working through reading them OMFG. I kinda made him take this Lou Reed pin I was wearing and he thought it was sad I was just giving it away but I was like “TAKE MY SHIT JULIAN”. He gave me a high five and a hug (he is like 7 feet tall and his hands are HUGE HA) also when he looks at people his eyes accidentally seduce them so he was all “thanks for the milkshake” and I was like “WOAH THERE BUCKAROO I AM SEVENTEEN”. Also when he ordered the milkshake he wanted it in a non-clear cup to hide it from cal, and when I gave it to him he said “Ahhh yes secret milkshakessss” he is such a DAD. anyway I was tearing up a bit watching him and cal and Juliet eat bc he would pet calls head and play with this toy car he had. UGH I AM SET FOR LIFE. I hope I wrote enough for you (lol this is like an essay) and I’m so glad you messaged me because I love anyone who loves the strokes and I am freaking out
