a quarter and a kiss

asimplechordI'm gonna go watch the TiVo'd Olympics before I say much about tonight's show, but I have to tell you guys three things.
1. Ian + glasses + guitar = OT3
2. MrIris turned to me as The Cab were setting up and said, "They have to be gay. They're too pretty not to be." And then later, "There must be flaming orgies on their bus. Look at them."
NO LIE. He doesn't even know about Cab bandslash (although he *does* know about my slash proclivities, generally). Should I introduce him to GSF? Y/N?
3. Bob Morris, please to be shaving that thing off your face. It's acceptable on JWalk, marginally so on Spencer Smith or Bob Bryar. Please get rid of it.

I got your text, and I think that's an awesome idea. But amnesia fic first, yes? (yes, I know this is a pot/kettle situation)

Date: 2008-08-13 11:45 am (UTC)Brendon in the shower, filled with cautious glee and the knowledge that Spencer is asleep in his bed, naked.
After, Brendon is surprised to find Spencer is dressed, sitting on the edge of the bed and turning Brendon’s cell over and over in his hands.
“We weren’t fucking.”
Brendon stops and stares, shakes his head. He’s not sure if Spencer’s got his memory back or if last night didn’t live up to Spencer’s false memories or what exactly is going on.
“So we never, before last night?”
Again, Brendon shakes his head, feeling like he’s missing a huge, important piece of the conversation, wishing Spencer would look at him.
“Was it because of Haley?”

Date: 2008-08-13 01:20 pm (UTC)So he remembers Haley now? Is B's phone impt? OH, did Haley call B? Or did he just see her name in the contacts? We get to hear B talk about UST or unacknowledged crushes? ?????
:DD
i still don't have a Brendon icon! I totally fail...
Date: 2008-08-14 01:30 am (UTC)Spencer shrugs, shakes his head. “She called, while you were in the shower. Something about her parents’ anniversary gift? I probably shouldn’t have answered it, but it was kind of instinctual, you know? She asked how I am, and about my dogs. And I think she was crying. Or I made her cry, maybe? I just… I don’t want to cause problems for you, with her. I didn’t know. I mean, I’ve met Keltie, and I talked to Jon’s Cassie, but no one ever said you… I just didn’t think of it, I guess, since I keep seeing us together, but if there’s Haley…”
“Spence, wait.” Brendon sits down beside Spencer and covers Spencer’s hands with his own to stop the fidgeting. “Haley’s not mine. She’s yours. Or, she was.”
“Since when do I date girls?”
Brendon has to laugh at that, because it’s Spencer and as far as Brendon knows, he’s always dated girls. He pulls his hand away and runs it over his face, trying to figure out what to say. “When did you not date girls?” he finally asks.
“Uh. I never really dated anyone, I guess. At least, before all this. I went to a few dances with the girl that lived next door to us, Lily, and we made out a few times. But I made out with Ryan too, so. I guess I just hadn’t made up my mind yet.”
Brendon has to fight the urge to call Jon and demand his fifty bucks – he so called that. But making out with Ryan Ross isn’t the point. The point is Spencer doesn’t remember Haley, doesn’t remember the woman he’s loved for years, and Brendon isn’t sure what to say.
“You didn’t answer my question.” Spencer’s voice is deceptively soft and he’s pointedly not looking at Brendon.
“What question?”
“Was it because of Haley?”
“Spencer…” Brendon slides to the floor in front of Spencer, waits for Spencer to look at him before he continues, “You’re one of my best friends, and I love you. You know that, right? I fucking love you. And Haley made you happy. You two made each other happy. There was never… god. I wouldn’t have messed with that, couldn’t have taken that chance.”
“And if there hadn’t been Haley? Would you have taken that chance?”
Brendon sighs, wants to look away but he’s stuck watching Spencer watch him. “I think I’ve been in love with you since before I came to terms with liking boys more than girls. And I’m a little in love with Ryan and Jon, too, but it’s not the same. Definitely nowhere near the same. And you’re hot, so fucking hot, and if it were about sex then I would’ve taken the chance and not thought twice, Haley or no. But you’re more than that. You’re the one that lets me steal the blankets on cold nights on the bus. You let me take the first shower even though it’s rightfully yours on hotel nights, and you never complain when I wake you up too early and make you watch cartoons with me. When I got sick last year, you spend three days here cleaning up after me and acting like a mother-hen, and when we’re on the road you always share the care packages your mom sends. You sing Disney songs to me when I can’t sleep.”
“I never did that,” Spencer interrupts quickly.
Brendon laughs. “You could have! You don’t remember!”
“No, I’m pretty certain I never sang you to sleep. Other way around, maybe.”
Brendon laughs again, then turns serious. “Fuck, Spencer, you are so much more than a chance and I would never risk losing you, not when I’m content with what you already give me.”

Date: 2008-08-13 06:53 am (UTC)I have known a couple of guys who have shaved their beards after having them for long spells and it invariably looks very odd. I wonder how bizarre Spencer will look like if he eventually gets rid of his.
