He takes the faux knife within his hand, now taking a step back. It wasn't exactly two feet of space but it was better than before. At least now he was hardly hovering as much. ❛ Watch, ‘cause I'm not showing you again. ❜ He definitely would, as many times as it took to ensure his movie would look good. There's a sigh before his demonstration begins again.
she wanted this to be perfect and she knew richie did too. quinn felt bad that he had to show her so many times, but it wasn’t a huge deal. they weren’t crunched for time and there was no producer breathing down their necks. it was a real movie, but it wasn’t a real movie. she shot her brother a look as he continued to hover. “just show me, okay?” she planned to get it on the next try just to spite him. quinn picked up the knife and handed it to him, handle side first like it was real. “and give me like two feet of space, dude.”

There's a vague shrug of his shoulders, now moving along to admire his own collection. This whole thing was a labor of love, each piece meticulously organized and staged to present in the best possible way. Surely it showed when one looked at everything. ❛ A few articles of clothing, some limited release merchandise from when the movies came out. Nothing too major in the grand scheme of things but, I think having it would really elevate everything. ❜ He will lightly drag his fingers across the edge of one of the glass cases, peering in at the contents inside. How could Hughie not see how wonderful this all was?
❛ I might end up moving a few things around, reorganizing the layout. It's still a big work in progress, always has been. I've been working on this with Wayne since we were young. ❜
Obviously Richie has mistaken Hughie's shock and horror for shock and awe. Hughie's relieved in a way because it gives him time to scramble his thoughts together because what the actual fuck. How could he not see how insane this was? Richie had always been a little too invested in the Stab franchise and Hughie had never brought up how uncomfortable it made him with the movies being based off of real life murders; but he hadn't thought that he was this obsessed.
A good start?! How far was Richie planning on taking this?! The collection was already insanely huge, so big he had to rent a fucking cinema just to hold it. Hughie's collection of supe stuff had fit in his room. Richie had to go into real estate for his. "What... stuff is missing?" Hughie asked slowly, not entirely sure he actually wanted the answer.

❛ Don't trust me or something? ❜ It's said playfully, not an ounce of malice within his tone. Personally, he'd rather not spend a majority of his evening trying to dig out pieces of flooring from the other's knee. That sounded like something much better suited for someone with more patience. Besides, he had better things to do. ❛ So, everything else go well tonight then? ❜
“if quinn’s home, i’ll ask her.” quinn would probably be a little bit more gentle, plus she had locker room drama to catch her sister up on. “yeah sure,” not driving aimlessly sounded like a good idea. she held her palm out for his phone, and when she got it, she started to type in the password.“i remember it,” charlie assured him with a laugh. it wasn’t hard to remember. actually, she was pretty sure she could have guessed it if she was just one of his friends. of course his password was stab related.

“I’d rather choose to fall in love and be hurt…"
"There’s always sadness in our lives. It’s that sad feeling that keeps us going."
"Believe in yourself and nothing can stop you."
"It’s not nice to pick on people weaker than you."
"No matter how much you change, please don’t forget the people who care for you."
"Thinking isn’t going to get us anywhere."
"I don’t need love right now. I have friends with the same purpose as me."
"If a soldier’s pride means hurting one another, I don’t want it."
"Never doubt your worst nightmare."
"Don’t forget me. I just want you to know you’re in my heart."
"But our brains are all the same. We are the same people."
"You cry for me?"
"I’ll just warn you now, I don’t know how to use a computer."
"Please stop talking about math when I’m eating."
"Tell me how to win this!"
"Why does morning come every day?!"
"This is no time for crying!"
"You saved my life though, so you must have some kind of heart."
"Very impressive, you didn’t land a single punch."
"Looks like you’ve learned your lesson!"
"I know it was you who prevented me from getting hurt, and I want to thank you."
"I need to keep it a secret just a little bit longer."
"Even in a dream, you’re just too good to be true."
"That’s so sweet I’m getting cavities!"
"Whenever you feel lost or anxious, I will always be there for you."
"A flower, no matter how beautiful, withers over time."
"I’ll punish you in high heels!"
"I’m not going to put my dreams on hold for you."
"Oh, please just let me sleep in peace!"
"We have to work together and fight so we don’t repeat the tragedy of the past again!"
"Are all former rock stars as loony as you?"
"Sometimes reality really stinks."
"Being a cute superhero and a student is exhausting."
"Oh, I wish I could be a cat."

Amber happily takes Tara’s hand within her grasp, leading her along and away from the school. ❛ God, you’re such a goody two shoes, you know that? I can practically feel the fear radiating off of you. ❜
“alright, alright!” she hissed. she didn’t skip class often. she was good, with a nearly perfect attendance record in the classes where teachers actually took attendance. she followed close behind amber, reaching out to take her hand and allowed herself to be lead.

❛ You don’t have to be a dick, you know. Someone has to look out for her, so it may as well be me. It’s not like anyone else cares this much about her safety as I do. I do what I have to in order to keep her safe. ❜
❝ Oh yeah SURE — ❞ He says in the most fake, unimpressed way ever. ❝ TOTALLY just looking out for her. Nothing DEEPLY UN-FUCKING-NORMAL about literally anything you've done EVER in relationship to Tara. Super normal GAL PAL SHIT. TEXTBOOK. ❞

A smile etches into her features now, ❛ Great, now c’mon, we’re cutting class. ❜
"I am not a pussy. Ugh.. fine, I am going to do this with you."

There's a shrug of her shoulders now. ❛ And yet you’re telling me. Maybe we're both avoiding Mindy's suspect rules. Making yourself the bait is a stupid idea though. Who says this maniac even wants to kill you? Maybe he has a set plan of people to kill or something. ❜
Wesley can handle a fight. It's the everything else he's worried about — because he's never really been one for research, and he doesn't have the same shared history with this town that everyone else seems to hold — so where does that leave him? As glorified, last-minute bait?
"I know," he says. "But I can be pretty stubborn. I'll figure something out... but if everyone’s a suspect, shouldn’t I be keeping my plans to myself?"

His smile cannot help but widen at his brother’s response, a bit of laughter coming forth. ❛ Shit, okay, I like the honesty. Most people would’ve said they’re doing great just to save face so, it’s a nice change of pace. ❜ “It's... been a crazy few months.” That didn't sound good. ❛ Do you want to… talk about it? Figure that’s part of catching up, right? ❜ Then the question is turned around on him, asking about how he’s doing. There's a mirrored shrug of his shoulders now. ❛ I’ve been okay, for the most part. Staying busy with work and personal projects, nothing too interesting. ❜
Right, Hughie wouldn’t know what his personal projects were. They may be family but it was like talking to a stranger. He’d have to explain further if he wanted to make any sense. ❛ I make, uh, fan films and other short films. It takes up a lot of my time, to be honest. If I’m not working, that’s usually what I’m doing. Writing scripts, buying supplies, actually filming and then editing. I’m not doing it entirely alone, Ethan and Quinn help from time to time. But, they're still in school so I can't take up all their free time. ❜ A pause, realization hitting. Shit, that was another thing to explain.
It was so early in the conversation, should he really be dropping this bombshell already? ❛ That’s, uh… That’s another thing we have to talk about. Ethan and Quinn, I mean. ❜
They disentangle from each other and Hughie takes in the sight of his twin once again, the t-shirt and button up combo that they had both adopted, completely independently of each other. Does Richie wear that combo as incessantly as Hughie does? Or is it just a coincidence that on today of all days they've donned the same style of dress? Richie's smiling and Hughie can't help but return it, because this feels so good, so right. Like this was how it should have been all along.
Hughie follows Richie's lead, taking the seat opposite him. Richie falters but it doesn't feel awkward. It's more a question of where to begin. They have over two decades of life to catch up on and neither were prepared for such a monumental conversation.
Hughie laughs as well, though it comes out louder and harder than it should. He isn't necessarily nervous, more high strung. The emotions are running high, making him more awkward than usual.
"Uh... No?" He gives an awkward gin, alongside a shrug. He really has no idea how to explain that he's managed to stumble into an anti-supe vigilante group after A-Train accidentally murdered his girlfriend. "It's... been a crazy few months.. Um, but, what about you? Are you doing okay?"
