the flashbabes of february

Who: Flashstep & YOU!
What: Multiple Prompts: The boys talk about recent developments and continue with their lives since the hauntings.
When: February
Where: Multiple Locations
Warnings: None!

Although the boys made it through the most recent series of unfortunate events at Pride Records mostly unscathed, they're still dealing with the aftereffects just like everyone else. The return to life as they know it is swift thanks to Mr. Patil, but they still have time to get up to a whole new set of shenanigans...

[Some time on February 7th, Maxxie sends out a mass text to all the guys. It's when he knows they're all at home, and none of them have an excuse not to show up. The text reads as such:]

team meeting in the kitchen right now. very important!

[Any responses asking for more clarification just earn some angry emoticons and reinforcement that it is happening right now. He also doesn't say anything until everyone's assembled, rebuffing complaints with "this'll only take a minute." Once everyone's together, he starts.]

Alright, so I have an announcement, and I'm telling you all at once because I don't want to say it over and over again.

[He takes a deep breath.]

I have a boyfriend now. And he's gonna be coming by here and hanging out with me and you have to be nice to him. You can't be weird. And you can't tell anyone. We're not going public with it yet, so no tweets and no telling your friends about it either.

[And then he's done. And it's a bit awkward.] Well, that's it. You can all go back to your rooms now.

02-08-55. 3:15AM. FLASHSTEP PENTHOUSE. [ for Jamie ]

At this point, it doesn't strike Sora as unusual at all when Jamie can't sleep and seeks him out to do something in the middle of the night. Sometimes Sora just pulls him into his own bed with him instead because Jamie can only go so long without sleep. But then other times Sora can't sleep either. It's been easier this past month, but the feelings he gets from Pride higher ups is still unsettling enough to make him restless some nights.

In the wee hours of this morning, they'd decided to watch some sci-fi series on the television instead of sleeping, something with robots. Sora actually doesn't get too far into it, sitting close up and comfortable against Jamie's side with a blanket thrown over their laps, before he falls asleep with his head on the other boy's shoulder.

ALL WEEK. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE. [ open to all ]

Doodling has been a hobby of Sora's from the start, though ever since he'd gotten called into Lesedi's office he seems to be far more secretive about what he's doodling. And he stops whenever there's a Pride presence other than his friends around. Previously it was just pencil and pen or whatever, but it seems he's gotten colored pencils involved now. His artwork still isn't anything to write home about, definitely deserving the label of "doodle" more than anything. But he's not drawing to show others, he's drawing for himself.

Mostly this happens in the Flashstep penthouse, and most often when he's in his room or away from their manager's eyes. When there is a Pride presence around other than close friends, his doodles seem to stick to inconspicuous landscapes. A beach. Some jungle. Underwater scenes. A city. The doodles he's more secretive about appear to be vague outlines of people: someone with white hair, green eyes; someone with red hair, blue eyes; two people with blonde hair, one short and one long, both with blue eyes. There are also keys of all assorted shapes and sizes, sometimes dark creatures with yellow eyes. And, possibly most odd of all: a clothed duck and dog that appears to walk on two legs. Occasionally, some sort of wand is drawn with the duck, and a shield with the dog.

[band mates are free to see any of the above drawings if they come into his room, but anyone else will only ever see the scenery drawings, which really could be anywhere or mean anything. he's very careful about this.]

02-12-55. 10:11AM. FLASHSTEP PENTHOUSE. [ for band mates ]

It's a breakfast gathering like any other, and Sora's chewing thoughtfully on a piece of bacon from his plate piled with food when he asks a question directed to anyone in the nearby vicinity: "Do you think Mr. Patil would let us have a pet?"

[I'm okay with making the time/date more fuzzy on any of these if needed. And as always prose or action spam style tags are both cool, I'll follow your lead. Other than that, hit me with something else if you wanna?]

[GOOD MORNING FLASHSTEP. Terry still... Feels really weird about this, and it's his first time spending the night at Maxxie's. In the morning he sneaks out of Maxxie's room to use the bathroom and get some coffee, less for Maxxie's sake then out of fear he'll bump into someone.]

[Throughout the day though, he relaxes significantly. Possibly through being almost constantly glued to Maxxie's side doing such fun couples activities like: eating breakfast, checking his messages while Maxxie naps on him on the couch, MarioKart, AND MORE! Or if you wanna corner Terry on his own at times that aren't 6am, that can be arranged too.]

[Please see your local Terry to book an appointment for harassment and/or general conversation.]

It's mid-morning and B is yelling.

Granted, this isn't a totally unprecedented situation. B yells sometimes, it's just how he is. This time, though, the yelling is less enthusiastic or angry than it is alarmed, edging toward panicking.

Anyone who searches out the source will find him hurriedly leaving the bathroom, the hood of his sweater pulled up over his head and then partway down over his face. He... may actually bump into whoever comes looking for him, stumbling back immediately with a startled sound.

"--SHIT. Uh. Hey."

[When Sora wakes up, it's far before and without the use of his phone alarm. A few things instantly enter his mind: there's a Jamie here beside him, it's Valentine's Day, and it's early enough that there's no rush for anything. He'd already doled out his gifts the night before, the ones for the fellow occupants of the Flashnest having been tied to their individual door knobs, and his plans don't really start until this afternoon.

He turns over to half-lay on his bed mate, bringing an arm around Jamie's waist. He'd shown up to his room in the middle of the night again wanting to do something since he couldn't sleep, but Sora had made him lay down with him and talk instead. About nothing, pretty much, random things, ponderings, which seemed to be their favorite topic and they could go on forever. Sora had eventually drifted off to sleep and he assumes Jamie had too, hopefully for long enough that he'd actually gotten some good rest.

While still smiling, he places a quick kiss on Jamie's lips, short and sweet but with any luck still enough to get Jamie's attention if he's close at all to waking already. And if that doesn't do it, some gentle poking of his cheek might. It also upgrades Sora's smile to a grin.]

Hey. Happy Valentine's Day.
