GO YOUR OWN WAY , CALL IT ANOTHER LONELY DAY.

rot with me.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

scoffing at the question. wasn't it obvious he'd never played a sport in his life?

" walking to and from class is just about the amount of exercise i get. "

[#𝟐𝟗 ∗ 𝒃̲̲͟𝑒𝑛 @icebreakcr]

" hockey. " he answers plainly, sinking deeper into the water, a more relaxed expression taking over his visage.

" you? "

hiding under the covers ... why the / fuck / did the reader walk into his room unannounced? ( he's naked )

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

rolling a joint.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

getting comfortable , subtly observing the other. tall , muscular , good looking. he nodded at the statement. " what sport do you play? "

[#𝟐𝟗 ∗ 𝒃̲̲͟𝑒𝑛 @icebreakcr]

" wrapping up my day. " he hums out with a simple nod. " hitting the jacuzzi after practice feels just so right. "

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

jumping back at the sudden reaction. cheeks flushing ... was this not normal?

" it's fine. that's good that he's letting you do a retake. "

[𝔾𝕒𝕓𝕖 @PrettyBoyCity]

Gabe looks surprised to find him without a shirt.

“Oh-!”

He clears his throat, then recomposes himself.

“Anyway,” he hangs up the phone.

“Sorry for being so… antsy.”

Already his back is stiffening back up to its usual rigidity.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

@fieryrockstar why does she even want him up this early ...

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

NOT a morning person.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

gazing over at him , a small smirk forming on his features. " what's up , man? "

[#𝟐𝟗 ∗ 𝒃̲̲͟𝑒𝑛 @icebreakcr]

watching the other closely as he dips in, arms slung over the edge of the jacuzzi, eyes scanning his silhouette.

sliding in.

" barely still means its there. "

“ you barely even taste the raspberry. “

he's grumpy... didn't get his way.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

" ew .... raspberry? " nose scrunching at the thought.

[𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 @fieryrockstar]

looking up at him , taking a hold of the flour putting it on the counter.

“ it was white chocolate and raspberry cookies. “

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

sexually frustrated ... he's been jerking it all night and it just won't go down.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

" coming. " lifting himself from bed , he opened the door for him.

[𝔾𝕒𝕓𝕖 @PrettyBoyCity]

“Oh- uh, I’m here.” He finally says, knocking on the door softly.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

he told him softly. not one to judge others for what they did in their free time. he didn't ask much about his meetups.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

in his own world , thinking to himself as the other observed him. joey had a kind soul. partnered with his fiery attitude , it was hard to see the sensitivity in him unless you listened to his music.

" yea. even before bed or 'sum. " ( + )

[𝔾𝕒𝕓𝕖 @PrettyBoyCity]

Gabe watches him strum, looking at his fingers with an eye for detail. Admiring their callouses. Marks of dedication.

“Perhaps. I guess it couldn’t hurt. I do have some problems that a creative outlet would help with.” He considers. “If I have time between classes, studying, +

quiet , letting gabe ramble about how he could retake the test. smiling softly.

[𝔾𝕒𝕓𝕖 @PrettyBoyCity]

Gabe’s smile can be heard in his tone as he thanks Joe for letting him come over and begins recapping.

It ends up working out great, where he’s outside Joseph’s dorm right as he finishes the story.

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

nodding. " thank you. you'll be the first to hear it. "

humming as he strung a few chords. " you should try song writing. it helps with stuff. "

[𝔾𝕒𝕓𝕖 @PrettyBoyCity]

Gabe nods, not looking at the book without permission.

“That’s interesting.” He smiles. “I’ve thought about that sort of thing before. It’ll be a fascinating insight to you once I get to hear the completed song.” He nods, conceptualizing

rough , filled with sleep still. " i'm happy for you. "

" you're all good. i was just nappin'. my roommates out which is rad. you can come over whenever. tell me about what happened. "

[𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the 𝑻𝑶𝑷 .ᐟ @T0UGHINQ]

out cold when the second phone call came in , groaning and rolling over in bed. now stripped to his shorts and socks. he answered the phone , laying his head on his pillow. arm cradling it.

" that's good man. " he spoke. voice ( + )

[𝔾𝕒𝕓𝕖 @PrettyBoyCity]

An hour goes by. Then another.

But eventually, finally, Gabe calls Joseph again.

“It worked!” He said, again speaking just as fast. “It worked. I get a redo.” He sniffles. Gabe had *cried??* over a C?? A little insane, but if it works it works.

“Can I come over-“ he starts, +
