"After a beat, he looked up at Billy with big brown eyes. Billy blinked at him and grimaced. The kid must've noticed because he shrunk back behind Jane."
Evan and Barty had went on a friendly vacation to the mountains. They had plans to return to visit their friends today for the holiday season. Had is the key word, as overnight snow piled high up their door and ice froze their locks. The two men aren’t going anywhere, it seems.
Evan is pacing holes into the floor. “There’s no cell service out here, Barty, what if Reg thinks that we forgot about him? What if he thinks that we hate him?”
“We’ve known Regulus since we came out the womb, I doubt he’ll think either of those things.” Barty says from the couch. “Please take a seat and relax. Shouldn’t we enjoy this?”
But Evan is already talking again. “Okay, sure, we’ve known him for ages, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that—“ In one swift movement, Barty crosses the room and rests a hand on Evan’s cheek.
“May I?” Barty asks, and Evan simply nods, so Barty takes it upon himself to close the gap.
When they pull apart, Barty smirks. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to kiss your stupid face, Rosie.”
“Leave it to you to insult me right after our first kiss together.”
“Mm, technically it’s not our first kiss if you count our kiss in spin the bottle back in fifth year.” He harshly nips at Evan’s neck.
Evan groans and tugs on Barty’s hair. “You’re right, we should enjoy this time alone.”
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TO MY COMFORT SHOW!! I found out DTMG in a magazine i was reading when i was bored. I was around 8 so i didnt know how to watch the show other than searching it on youtube, and low in behold, it was there!! From that day on, ive been rewatching the show like crazzzy until i eventually fell outta the grind. Then, somewhere in October, I remembered about it and checked it out again! I have much more context and knowhow of the show in general, and its nostalgia to me by this point. So happy anniversary, DTMG!!!
