Rose was familiar with the concept of "cold feet", and even more familiar with her family's tendency to hide emotions, but she had not expected this.

Summary
He's there, again the kid with the thick rimmed glasses and the dorky teeth. He comes every Wednesday and only on Wednesday and he always sits in the same seat-- towards the back in the left corner, just out of the light from the stage.

Summary
Your name is Dave Strider and you are 26 years old.
You have just gotten engaged.
The problem being that you have just gotten engaged to your best male friend in a furious fit of stupidity, champagne, one-upmanship and a weird warm-glowy feeling that occasionally (or more than occasionally) rolls around in the pit of your stomach and makes you act like a moron. You have, over the past 13 years and much careful experimentation, dubbed this “The Egbert Effect”.
You would like to state, for the record, that you are definitely, completely and 100% NOT A HOMOSEXUAL.
As Bro carefully describes to you what, as the DJ, he’s going to play at the reception (almost entirely a medley of Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha), you carefully nurse a Rock Star and vodka like a 16 year old girl who just popped her cherry at prom and try to figure out what the fuck happened over the past decade or so to land you in this mess.

Summary
Your name is John Egbert and you hate going to school. In the past year alone, you’ve needed your glasses repaired four times and replaced twice. Your chest and stomach are covered in bruises that you haven’t told anyone about. Sometimes you limp, other times you can’t breathe. Once or twice you’ve come home with a black eye.
And you absolutely hate it.

Summary
You have to squint for a few moments before you can make out the foggy shape of Dave’s aviators.
JOHN: dave?
DAVE: jesus christ egbert you almost gave me a fuckin heart attack
JOHN: why- what are you doing here?He holds a thin black shape up to your face and it takes you a second to realize it’s a smartphone.
DAVE: you havent been online for 79 hours 45 minutes and 13 seconds
DAVE: you broke our streaks bro
DAVE: 974 days down the fuckin drain
DAVE: youre the most chronically online person i know and one day you just dropped off the face of the planet what gives
JOHN: i’m fine. or, i will be in a little bit. you don’t have to baby sit me.Dave shakes his head and places his hands on your shoulders. You melt a little into his touch—it feels like way too fucking long since you’ve had human contact.
DAVE: are you kidding
DAVE: john im not leaving now
DAVE: youre stuck with me for the time beingBookmarked by tabooTwofold
