Gabriella sharpay congratulatory shares grandchildren hug please

happy birthday babe!

Sharpay doesn’t like vulnerability.

She doesn’t like feeling weak or fragile,and she doesn’t like the harsh truth that all her confidence and strength arejust a façade that she likes to keep up.

Most of all, she doesn’t like showing hervulnerable side to others, as it feels like she’s giving them something to holdover her. Therefore, she hides her vulnerability, hides her weaknesses.

Of course, there’s exceptions – she’s notafraid to show her weaknesses to her husband, and she knows that showingvulnerability, in a strange way, is her way of connecting with her daughter,and once upon a time, she let façade fall for a certain Wildcat too.

However, she has never let down her guardin front of Gabriella Montez. After her momentary lapse of judgement where shehas shown her vulnerable side to Troy Bolton, she vowed that she would neverlet it happen again in front of any Wildcat, especially not Gabriella Montez.

She can’t let Gabriella know that she’sweak.

However, as she paces around the waitingroom in the hospital, Sharpay feels her guard coming down. Nerves are ragingthrough her body and as she feels a pair of dark brown eyes follow her, sheknows that she’s going to break.

How, she doesn’t know. It could go eitherway. She could either start screaming bloody murder or she could start crying.

She knows neither are desirable options.

“Babe, please sit down,” a male voicespeaks up, concerned and slightly vexed.

Her golden brown eyes lighting up with afurious fire, Sharpay turns to glare at her husband, her fists clenching as heraises a blonde eyebrow in a challenge.

“No.”

With that curt answer, she continues topace, trying to regulate her breathing as panic starts to overcome her evenmore.

“Sharpay…” Peyton tries again and Sharpayfeels the fury beneath her skin aching for a release, but before she can yellat him, she’s interrupted.

“Let her be,” a female voice suddenly pipesup, Sharpay narrowing her eyes as they meet the brown ones that have been thebane of her existence for the majority of her life.

There’s an understanding warmth in hereyes, as Gabriella Montez – no, Bolton– smiles kindly and shrugs, Sharpay feeling slightly envious of how okay she seems.

“We’re all nervous, right?”

That’s what breaks Sharpay.

“I’m not nervous!” she yells, beforeflushing slightly as every single pair of eyes in the waiting room turns toher. Out of the corner of her eye, she can see how startled Troy is and how Peyton looks like he’s ready to jump in to contain her.

She takes a deep breath, before taking amenacing stride to stand in front of Gabriella.

“I’m not nervous,” she repeats, her voicedown to a menacing hiss. “I’m just angry at your son. Because of him, mydaughter is in unbearable pain. Do you remember childbirth? Because I do, andit’s a nightmare. And don’t get me started on the fact that I have to sharegrandchildren with you. So, no, I’mnot nervous. I’m furious.”

Part of Sharpay hopes that Gabriella jumpsup and starts her usual rant about how there’s two people involved in makingbabies, and how Sharpay will have to deal with them sharing grandchildren.Anything to feel a sense of normalcy.

However, Gabriella doesn’t say anything.She just continues to smile warmly and Sharpay grunts before starting to pacein silence again.

She won’t break.

She continues like that for what feels likean eternity, before suddenly a familiar figure appears in the hallway.

Her dark eyes, similar to his mother’s, areexhausted, but there’s a lazy, happy smile on his face, which widens as Peyton,Gabriella and Troy all jump up in anticipation.

“Congratulations, grandparents.”

With a sob, Gabriella jumps to hug Anthonytightly, and Troy quickly follows, wrapping his arms around his wife and son astears swim in his eyes.

Sharpay feels Peyton grip her shouldertightly and she can’t help the smile from blossoming on her face as he grinsdown at her.

As soon as Troy and Gabriella let go ofAnthony, Peyton gives him a congratulatory hug, too, and Sharpay follows withan awkward one – she’ll never get used to Anthony Bolton being her son-in-law, and he’ll never not be scared of her.

As she lets go of Anthony and really takes in the unbridled happinessin the new father’s eyes, her own eyes go misty.

She’s a grandmother.

She barely registers as Troy and Peytonshare a tight hug, too, and she doesn’t hear anything that Anthony tells afrantic Gabriella about the babies’ weight and about how Sabrina and the twinsare doing.

All she can register is how happy she is.

She doesn’t realize that she’s crying tearsof joy until she feels a soft hand wraps around her shoulder and she looks downat an equally emotional Gabriella.

When she promised herself that she wouldnever break in front of Gabriella Montez, she didn’t think she’d ever become agrandmother together with her.

So, she just smiles weakly and wraps herarms around Gabriella’s shoulder as they embrace. It’s slightly awkward, butit’s weirdly comforting and soft and warm.

They just smile at each other as they letgo of each other, and don’t say another word as Gabriella goes to hug Peytonand Sharpay steps into Troy’s arms.

They don’t speak of their hug or Sharpay’stears again, a mutual understanding between them that there’s still too muchawkwardness.

But, later, as they sit opposite eachother, each with a tiny baby girl in their arms, they share another smile andSharpay finds that she doesn’t care that she broke in front of Gabriella.

Maybe she’ll regret it down the line. It’shighly likely that she will, really.

But right now, she’s too happy to care.

Troypay, totally platonic

“Is that a smile I see?”

There may have indeed been a small smileplaying on Sharpay’s lips, but it immediately falls as she turns to her side toglare at the person standing beside her, his blue eyes dancing with mirth andamusement.

“No,” she says curtly, before turning backto what she was staring at.

Her beautiful daughter, her baby girl,dressed in white, a veil on her head and a radiant smile on her face as shedances with her new husband.

Sharpay can’t believe it. It seems likejust yesterday that she was holding that tiny bundle of pink in her arms,wondering if she’d ever make a good mother, and Sharpay vividly remembers that curseddecision she made to bring her baby girl back to Albuquerque after she had amental breakdown.

That move was the best thing that Sharpayhas done for Sabrina in many ways, as Sabrina found true happiness at East Highand she found love, and Sharpay should be ecstatic for her daughter. She reallyshould be.

However, there’s still a problem. Sabrinafound love with the son of Sharpay’s mortal enemies. Sabrina has now married aBolton.

Now Sharpay is going to share grandchildrenwith Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez. She now shares family with them. As much as Troy and Gabriella have tried to burythe hatchet with her, Sharpay still can’t fathom the thought.

Therefore, while today should be one of thebest days of her life, being her daughter’s wedding, Sharpay is not in the bestmood. So Troy Bolton doesn’t need to be grinning at her like that, teasing her aboutsmiling inadvertently.

Troy and his wife and his son are thereason why she can’t enjoy her daughter’s wedding.

“I know you hate us, but you’re allowed tofeel happy for your daughter, Sharpay,” Troy says to her, and Sharpay sighs asshe continues to look at the happy newlyweds.

“I don’t hate you.”

Troy lets out a sound of disbelief and shelooks up at him again, shrugging casually as he raises his eyebrow at her. “Ireally don’t.”

“Your first reaction to their engagement wasto threaten to kill my son and letting him die a slow and painful death.”

“I congratulated them first,” Sharpay says,rolling her eyes, but feeling a small smile threaten to break out on her faceagain as she remembers everyone’s curious mixture of amusement and horror asshe detailed horrid ways to murder Anthony. “But I still don’t hate you. Gabriella,yes, but you, no. I’ve always liked you. I just didn’t like that you were in myway.”

Then, she lets out a humourless chuckle. “Youknow, I once wanted to marry you. I have no idea what I saw in you, though,besides popularity. I like you as a person, but you’re still so… you. Nooffense.”

“Hard not to take offense,” he comments,frowning for a second, before smiling that innocent, lopsided smile of his thatalways makes her roll her eyes with a strange fondness.

“You remember when you told me that we weremeant to sing together when I was working at Lava Springs?”

Furrowing her eyebrows, she nods. “Vaguely,yes.”

“That felt like a marriage proposal to me.I was literally imagining you in a wedding dress,” he says, before chucklingand shaking his head. “Can you imagine how horrible that would have been? Us,married?”

“Atrocious,” Sharpay agrees.

Troy continues to smile as he suddenlywraps his arm around her shoulder and points to Anthony and Sabrina. “We were aterrible match. They aren’t. They’re great for each other. Don’t you want thatfor your daughter? Someone who is good for her?”

With a wistful smile, she replies, “Ofcourse. I mean, I still don’t like him, but he’s a lot like you, so I guess hecan’t be that bad.”

“And she’s a lot like you, which means sheknows what she wants. And what she wants is clearly to be happy with him.”

“Stop being so preachy, Bolton,” Sharpayreplies, and both of them roll their eyes and laugh as they continue to watchtheir children.

Troy’s arm feels nice and comforting aroundher, and she can’t help but let her arms circle around his waist as they cuddlefor a small moment.

“I am happy for her,” she says as she laysher head on his shoulder, before sighing. “It’s just still a lot to take in.”

“Well, if it makes you feel any better, Ipromise to be a good grandfather to our grandchildren,” Troy replies cheekily, andbefore she can punch him like she so desperately wants to, he lets her go andquickly walks off in the direction of his wife.

“Stop ruining my life, Bolton!” Sharpayyells after him, and she rolls her eyes as Gabriella looks at her in alarm whileshe grabs onto Troy’s arm.

Troy, however, doesn’t seem to share thatwariness, for he just winks at Sharpay, which makes her roll her eyes again.

Yeah, she might like him. But he’s stillTroy Bolton. But she guesses she’ll have to learn to live with him. And she hasa feeling that won’t be as bad as she thinks it will be.

Trelsi, congratulatory hug

send me a pairing and a cuddling prompt

This is the best night of her life so far.

She can’t think of any time in her lifethat she’s been happier than she is right now, standing in the middle of afancy after party in New York to celebrate the opening night of her new musical.

Her musical. She wrote a Broadway musical.She made it.

Honestly, if she wasn’t surrounded by herpeers and her co-workers, she would probably burst into tears at any second.She has worked so hard for this, she has endured so many hardships, but it’sall been so worth it to be here tonight.

When she was sixteen, feeling all alone andworthless, she never could have dreamed that this is where she would end up.Yet here she stands, proud and accomplished.

She’s just so happy. She can’t get anyhappier than this.

“Kels!”

Or maybe she can. A grin blossoms on herface as she feels a thrill of excitement run through her while turning aroundto greet the person who called her name.

“Hoopsman!”

Troy Bolton is here. Troy Bolton, who livesin California, on the other side of the country, made it the entire way here tocome see her on her big night.

Of course, she had sent the invitation toall her friends from East High, but it was mostly as a courtesy. She hadn’texpected any of them besides Ryan to show up – they all have busy lives indifferent parts of the country and that’s okay – but it’s such an immensedelight to see her old friend stand before her with such pride shining in hiseyes.

“I can’t believe you made it!” sheexclaims, sounding more surprised than she intends to, and Troy sends her anincredulous look in return.

“Of course I made it!” Troy exclaims. “It’snot every day that your best friend’s musical is opening on Broadway.”

Kelsi feels a thrill run through her. Bestfriend. Of course she knows she doesn’t match up to Chad – just like Troy doesn’tmatch up to Ryan for her –, but that doesn’t mean that him calling her his bestfriend is any less meaningful.

Just as much as her sixteen-year-old selfcouldn’t imagine herself on Broadway, she also wouldn’t have been able toimagine being such close friends with Troy Bolton.

He has helped her through so many of herhardships in high school, and she has stood by his side through his, and she’sso glad that their bond has remained solid through college and the longdistance between them.

“Well, was it worth the flight fromCalifornia?” she asks playfully, but she can’t stop a hint of insecurity seepingin.

It still feels so unreal, that this is herlife now, that she’s good enough to be here. Part of her still feels like somemistake has been made, that she’s not worthy.

Troy Bolton, however, has always made herfeel worthy. Therefore, a mere warm smile on his lips completely erases herinsecurities and doubts.

“It was more than worth it,” he says,before wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tightly. She feels herselfrelax into his embrace, snuggling into him for a second with a deep sigh,before letting go.

“Congratulations, playmaker. I’m so proudof you,” Troy says earnestly, his eyes shining with pride and affection, andKelsi feels herself blush under his gaze, the butterflies in her stomach aremnant of a crush that she buried a long time ago.

“Thank you,” she mutters with a bashfulgrin, and Troy returns it, before turning to watch the crowd, his hand still onher shoulder.

“They’re all proud of you, too,” he says ashe squeezes her shoulder and Kelsi can’t stop grinning as she watches the crowd,too, all of these people who are here for her, and she nods.

“I still can’t believe that I made it,” shesays softly, looking up as she feels Troy’s eyes shift to her, his smile stillsoft and sweet.

“I never doubted that you would.”

Kelsi smiles up at him, so many words ofgratitude and appreciation swimming through her mind, but before she can utterany of them, one of the actors approaches Kelsi to talk to her, and with afinal squeeze of her shoulder, Troy has left her side.

But, as she celebrates with her peers andher colleagues, she never loses sight of Troy, standing in the shadows withthat proud grin remaining on his face.

She hopes that her responding smilesappropriately communicate how much she truly loves him. She hopes that he knowshow much she appreciates him and his friendship.

She hopes that he knows how happy she isthat he’s by her side.

#this is not my best i feel #and it's probably riddled with spelling errors #but i gave myself feelings so THANKS ELLIE #troy x kelsi #benignbitch19 #ask

Top 3 looks of Gabriella and Sharpay (separately don’t be lazy!!!)

So… I could probably do a top 10, if not more, for both of them, so choosing this has been Hell™. I’ve decided to cheat and just choose a top fave from each of the HSM movies and leave it at that, because otherwise, I just cannot do it, lmao. There’s no rhyme or reason behind it, really, so I’m just going to name them without any further explanation, lol.

Gabriella

1. Her dress from the Can I Have This Dance scene.2. Her dress from the You Are The Music in Me scene.3. Her outfit from the Breaking Free scene.

Honourable mentions that almost made the cut: the pink dress from the scene on the golf course, her dress from Just Wanna Be With You and her red dress from the We’re All In This Together scene.

Sharpay

1. Her silver dress from the talent show.2. That white top/pink skirt combination she wears in her first scenes in HSM3.3. The pink combination she wears when we first meet her in HSM1.

Honourable mentions that almost made the cut: the blue dress from Bop to the Top, the white swimsuit/pink cardigan combination from Fabulous, and her green dress from the spring musicale.

#there's so many other choices i could go for too though #like... SO MANY #maybe i should just do a few gifsets or something #benignbitch19 #ask

Can we have some Troy birthday headcannons? (Also for the other Wildcats if you feel up to it)

Troy, Gabriella and Sharpay all have one thing in common: they grow up with big birthday parties, but grow to hate these big shenanigans when they’re older.

Troy actually never likes the big parties that he feels he has to throw because he’s the cool kid; he’d much rather just spend the day with his family and his closest friends.

Gabriella’s birthday always seems to coincide with the annual Montez family reunion when she's younger. She suspects Maria is behind this, because she doesn’t want her daughter to feel alone on her birthday. Gabriella appreciates that, but she loves simple birthdays more - a date night with Troy or a girls night with Taylor and Kelsi, that kind of thing. However, she does love throwing big parties for her friends’ birthdays.

The Evans twins always throw big birthday bashes when they’re younger and Sharpay loves them, but after she turns 30, she refuses to acknowledge her birthday is even happening.

Troy is also very aware of the reality of time and ageing. He gets an existential crisis pretty much every birthday starting with his 25th. One time, Gabriella thinks of deliberately ignoring his birthday so he doesn’t have to suffer the crisis, but she knows that would backfire and would make him doubt her love for him.

As an adult, Ryan loves throwing elegant dinner parties for his birthday. He tries to throw it for both him and Sharpay, but Sharpay prefers getting drunk and making bad decisions in her 20s. However, she gets roped into participating in the dinner parties after her 20s, even though she refuses to acknowledge that it’s her birthday party, too. (It gets very awkward when Troy and Gabriella show up to Ryan’s 32nd birthday dinner and bring a gift for both twins.)

Chad celebrates his birthday according to the 3 B’s: basketball, beer and bros.

Taylor is not into birthdays at all (never has been), but when she becomes a mum, she does organize educational birthday parties for her kiddos, taking them to the museum and such.

Kelsi is used to spending her birthday with just her parents when she’s young, but after the events of HSM1, she finds Troy and Gabriella on her doorstep on her birthday and she can barely hold back the tears.

Zeke always bakes personalized cakes for his friends for their birthdays, so when he turns 30, Troy, Chad and Jason decide to return the favour. It’s (obviously) a disaster and it messes up everyone’s stomaches really badly. Chad tries to put the blame on Gabriella for lending them her and Troy’s kitchen and not warning them about the damn salmonella risks.

In spirit of the 'ask me anything' meme, who's your favourite HSM family? The Bolton, Evans, Montez, or Danforth family, and why?

I took a long time to answer this (which you’ve reminded me of multiple times…), but it’s definitely the Boltons. And I have no good reason other than that I just… love them? The Evans family is highly entertaining as well, though.

ask me to choose between two hsm-related things.

#also i would have loved to see more of lucille bolton #she seems really awesome #benignbitch19 #ask

Trelsi at graduation had Gabriella never moved to east high

The first and only time Kelsi speaks toTroy Bolton is at graduation, when he bumps into her and the way he looks andsmiles at her kindly when he murmurs an apology just sets something off within her.

“Congratulations!” she calls after him ashe walks away in the opposite direction and slight mortification overcomes heras the words tumble from her mouth, because he’s Troy Bolton and people likehim never acknowledge her existence, except that’s exactly what he’s doingright now.

“You too, Kelsi,” he replies softly andwhile Kelsi knows that the broad grin he offers her and the fact that he knowsher name and the general what ifswill make her wonder for years to come, she merely smiles and nods at him andthat’s the end of it and it’s strangely enough.

give me a pairing and an au setting and i will write you a three-sentence fic.

For @benignbitch19 - happy birthday, darling!!! I hope you like this little fic of the first gen responding to Anthony and Sabrina’s budding romance. Sorry for any possible errors; I’ve proofread it, but I feel like I have missed stuff regardless.

Troy finds out the moment Sabrina first walks into his classroom.

After he gets over the shock that Sharpay Evans’ daughter is now his student and the discomfort that the look in her eyes, which resembles her mother’s fiery, menacing stare a little bit too much, instils in him, he can’t help but notice his son’s response to the new student.

Anthony watches the scene before him with curiosity that morphs into confusion as his father starts fumbling through his words embarrassedly as the girl stares him down.

Troy, in turn, can’t help but notice the way Anthony is fixating on Sabrina as she moves to take the seat right next to him. Anthony stays quiet as Sabrina snaps at Brad Danforth when he points out that she’s in his seat. He smiles at her affably as her eyes land on him.

Troy knows that glint in his son’s eyes; it’s a spark that reveals an attraction and curiosity that he recognizes from a long forgone past, from a New Year’s Eve nearly thirty years ago when he had been forced to participate in karaoke and had been immediately captivated by the gorgeous girl with the pretty voice he had been partnered with.

It’s a look of love at first sight, and on the chance that it’s not that serious, Anthony is definitely interested and while this should worry Troy, he tries not to let it bother him, because he doesn’t know this girl and he remembers how much it broke his heart when Jack didn’t approve of Gabriella.

That doesn’t stop him from narrowing his eyes as Sabrina rolls her eyes at Anthony’s smile and turns away from him.

However, he also notices that Sabrina keeps sneaking glances and smiling coyly at Anthony while Troy rattles off the morning announcements.

And something tells him that this obviously mutual crush is not going to dissipate any time soon.

Gabriella finds out because she senses that something has changed in both her children after the arrival of Sabrina.

Anthony has been particularly perky recently, always in a peculiarly good mood. He’s brought her more bouquets of flowers than she can count and she’s caught him singing in the shower a few times too many.

Meanwhile, Isabela has been quiet and desolate, isolating herself from her family and Gabriella’s quite certain she’s heard Isabela screaming in her room on more than one occasion.

Gabriella suspects Anthony is in love. She suspects Isabela is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She doesn’t realize that both these changes in her children’s behaviour – one that makes her want to squeal with excitement and one that fills her stomach with dread and concern – are due to the same person and situation until Troy casually mentions Sharpay’s daughter who has causing him headaches all semester during dinner one evening.

From the corner of her eye, Gabriella sees Troy gaze at Anthony sharply, but what really perks her interest is that Anthony and Isabela both respond to Troy’s comment.

Anthony’s face completely lights up and he grins widely yet awkwardly under his father’s gaze, while Isabela slumps in her chair, sulking.

It doesn’t take long for Gabriella to put two and two together with regard to Anthony; he has a crush on Sabrina.

Isabela’s reaction is more difficult to figure out. She suspects that Sabrina might be harassing Isabela and the thought brings back terrible memories of the rivalry she had had with Sabrina’s mother.

However, she also notices the soft blush that settles on her daughter’s face, matching the blush on her brother’s face and while she is still wary of Sabrina due to Troy’s stories and the fact that she’s Sharpay Evans’ daughter, Gabriella can’t help but smile.

Her children both have feelings for the same girl.

Then the tragedy of it all settles in and her smile turns sad as she grabs both Anthony and Isabela’s hands and squeezes tightly.

She just hopes it won’t lead to too much heartbreak.

Sharpay and Peyton find out the first time they meet Anthony.

Anthony and Sabrina aren’t dating yet, but both Sharpay and Peyton are more than suspicious when they find a boy residing in Sabrina’s room.

To be fair, it’s broad daylight and they’re genuinely doing homework, but Sharpay is more shocked by who it is.

The minute she walks in, Anthony gets up from his position on the floor by Sabrina’s bed, sticking his hand out and nervously introducing himself as he scratches his neck.

He’s the spitting image of both his parents, Sharpay thinks, seeing that same goofiness in his smile that had drawn her to his father, the object of her former affections, while his eyes are innocent and sickeningly sweet like his mother’s.

Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez’s son is in her daughter’s room. Her daughter is friends with her former rivals’ son.

It’s the way that Sabrina is leering at Anthony, not unlike the way she herself used to leer at Troy, that raises her suspicions that they may be more than friends.

She should be happy that her daughter is showing emotion, she knows that, but Sharpay is bitterly angry that she’s showing that emotion towards him of all people.

So, her body trembles with rage and her face turns red as she opens her mouth to scream at Anthony Bolton to get out of her home, but it’s Peyton’s comforting hand on her shoulder that calms her down enough to ask Anthony to leave nicely.

Sabrina springs up from her bed defensively as she exclaims that nothing is going on between her and Anthony and Peyton almost believes her, until she sees Anthony’s hand land on her shoulder and Sabrina relax, the gesture perfectly mirroring Peyton’s own way of calming down Sharpay.

Peyton knows the stories about Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, but he can’t help but feel a rush of relief at seeing his daughter express emotion, so he just smiles and apologizes for Sharpay as he shakes Anthony’s hand, before the boy grabs his things and rushes out of the house, Sharpay watching his every movement with a menacing glare.

Sharpay hopes that she’ll never have to see Anthony Bolton again.

Peyton hopes that Anthony will return as soon as possible.

Ryan and Kelsi find out through Rory.

Rory mentions it in passing during dinner one day and Ryan almost chokes on his drink, Ben quickly patting his husband’s back to avoid any Sabrina-related deaths, while Kelsi’s eyes widen in horror.

Then, they share an amused yet pained look as they realize what an utter disaster this is going to be and after dinner, they make a pact to talk to both parties to stop this from reaching levels of catastrophe. To gauge the situation and to provide any necessary advice.

They expect their advice to be about ending the relationship, but it’s not.

Ryan talks to Sabrina first. When he brings it up, less subtly than he hopes, she launches into a tantrum that makes him wince with the recollection of far too many memories of his sister subjecting him to similar tirades.

If it were his sister, he’d probably roll eyes and make a few snarky comments, but now he sits through it and smiles and holds his niece’s hand until she’s finished.

She turns to him and tells him, shakily, that she really likes Anthony and Ryan feels something tug at his heart, for he doesn’t often see her so vulnerable.

He tells her that Anthony’s a great guy and that he’s sure they’ll make a great couple and that she won’t screw it up.

He’s known Anthony for years, so he knows the first part is true, but he’s not quite sure whether he believes the second part.

He hopes he’s right, though.

After Ryan tells Kelsi what happened with Sabrina, Kelsi invites Anthony over for a nice cup of tea to catch up and discuss the recent developments of the East High drama department – she already knows all of that through Troy, though, but Anthony doesn’t need to know that.

When she mentions Sabrina, he goes bright red and when she probes a little further, he spills his whole heart out to her. He tells her about how much he likes Sabrina and how much it scares him and she finds it adorable, the whole situation bringing up fond memories for Kelsi of watching the early days of Troy and Gabriella’s relationship.

She hugs him at the end and tells him to go for it, that he has nothing to fear – she doesn’t tell him that she knows about Sabrina’s feelings through Ryan – and that she’d be a fool if she rejected him.

He laughs and tells her he’s not sure that’s true, but he promises her that he’ll go for it.

Ryan and Kelsi share a small victory dance when they find out that Anthony and Sabrina are dating.

Chad and Taylor find out through Troy and Gabriella.

When Troy and Gabriella first bring it up on their bimonthly double date, Chad bursts into a fit of hysterical laughter as he claims it’s bullshit, while Taylor goes off on a tangent about how Sabrina is probably not good enough for Anthony and how she already has to deal with Sabrina as Brad and Paige’s new best friend and she can’t handle her as Anthony’s girlfriend, too.

However, Chad does start to notice that Anthony and Sabrina’s energy in gym class is… odd. He notices small, lingering touches, flirty teasing, blushes.

After a week of watching them carefully, he reluctantly admits to Troy that he was right and after that, he resolves to make the most of it by constantly teasing Anthony about it and making his godson’s life a living hell.

Taylor doesn’t get it until she sees Anthony and Sabrina interact at the Bolton’s annual end-of-summer barbeque, to which Sabrina and her parents are invited this year in a new attempt of Gabriella’s to bury the hatchet.

Taylor takes great pleasure in Sharpay’s bitter scowl that doesn’t leave her face all through the night, but she also takes pleasure in seeing how Sabrina snuggles into Anthony’s side hesitantly and how he stares at her like she’s hung the moon.

It embarrasses Taylor as she realizes she’s given Sabrina the same treatment she gave Troy back in the day, her distrust born out of unfounded prejudice.

She vows to be more considerate of Sabrina from now on and to tell Anthony later that she’s truly happy for him.

She also vows to stop her husband from making more unsubtle innuendos towards the lovebirds and to stop him from drinking too much and doing something embarrassing in general.

She secretly enjoys the innuendos, though, and the next time she locks eyes with Anthony, she winks and wiggles her eyebrows at him, laughing as she watches him squirm.

Ryan and Sharpay (platonic, obviously) "He's dead"

(send me a prompt!)

12. “He’s dead.”

It’s strange to be back in his childhoodhome, in his childhood room.

Pursing his lips, Ryan nods as he glancesaround the room. Nothing has changed since he left for New York all these yearsago, yet everything has.

A certain heaviness hangs in the air, butas he looks around at the room he used to dance around in, he feels a littleinkling of how happy and carefree he had felt during the countless days he hadspent here. It doesn’t compare to the freedom he has experienced since he left,but it still leaves a smile on his face.

The smile, however, disappears as henotices a framed picture on the nightstand. He briefly wonders how that isstill here in Albuquerque. It’s one of his favourite pictures, taken during atrip to Paris the Evans family had taken when he and Sharpay were twelve. Of course it hadbeen a poor make-up gift for their parents’ constant absence, but Ryan lovedevery second of it.

He loses himself in memories of the EiffelTower and croissants until he hears the clicking of heels in the hallway. Whenthe sound stops, he places the picture back on the nightstand and turns aroundto find his sister standing in front of him.

They just stare at each other for a minute,quietly communicating their concern for one another in a way only they canwhile Peyton and Ben’s faint voices downstairs fill the silence.

“Hi,” Ryan simply says after a while andSharpay just nods in acknowledgement and averts her eyes, her gaze falling onthe same picture he was holding before.

She takes a step towards the nightstand,taking the picture in her hands and staring at it thoughtfully.

“Huh.”

Ryan notices the quiver of her lips as shesets the frame down and drops down on the bed dramatically. He can’t count thetimes she has done that, because of her own trouble or because she knewsomething was up with him. It almost makes him smile, but he refrains, for heknows why she’s doing it and he knows that this problem is bigger than anythingthey’ve ever faced.

Sharpay sniffs and folds her hands in herlap as she stares up at him desperately.

“He’s dead.”

Her voice is barely above a whisper, butthe emotion in it makes a lump form in his throat and it’s not until then thathe notices how distraught she looks, her skin pale and her eyes blood-shot andadorned with mascara streaks. The last time he’s seen her like this was beforethe Midsummer Talent Show the summer between junior and senior year and whilehe mainly has fond memories of that summer, other memories from that same time now hurt more than ever.

As he sits down next to her and fiddles with his hands helplessly,he thinks that he must look just as distraught.

“Yeah.”

They both stare at the picture for aminute, before Sharpay lets out a frustrated sigh.

“I don’t know how to feel, Ryan,” sheadmits, slightly desperately, “I just don’t. I mean, he was our father, but hewas also kind of–”

“Crappy?” Ryan finishes and Sharpayscrunches up her nose and nods.

“To say the least,” she affirms bitterly asshe stares down at the bracelet adorning her left wrist. Ryan knows shereceived it for their twenty-first birthday, the same birthday he got thewatch that is on his own wrist.

“I mean, this sounds rich coming from me,but affection can’t be bought,” she states, “If being a mother has taught meanything, it’s that.”

Ryan laughs as he shoots Sharpay an amusedlook and nudges her with his elbow, “Wow, that does sound rich coming fromyou.”

Sharpay rolls her eyes and punches hisshoulder with a weak giggle. She smiles sadly as her eyes meet Ryan’s, “I wishthings would be different.”

Ryan stays silent as he contemplates herwords. It’s true, he thinks. There are so many things that their parents didwrong and there are so many things to make up for, but if they had more time,he has no doubts that they had been able to fix things. But now there is notime left and there’s nothing he can do to make everything okay.

Sharpay breaks the silence by sighingagain, “I’m going to miss him, though.”

A tear rolls down her face and Ryan feelshis own lip tremble as he takes her hand in his and squeezes it comfortingly.She smiles through the tears, which are now flowing freely, accompanied byloud, dramatic sobs, and squeezes back.

“Oh, Ryan,” she sobs as Ryan starts crying,too, and she throws her arms around him, holding him tightly as she bawlsagainst his shoulder.

It feels like an eternity before they’veboth regained their composure and are sitting upright again, Sharpay’s headstill leaning against Ryan’s shoulder and their hands still intertwined as theystare off into space, the same way they always used to do when they felt lonelyand sad and just needed each other.

“I miss this,” Sharpay says quietly andRyan squeezes her hand to indicate that he feels the same. The air in the roomstill feels heavy, but with his sister by his side, he doesn’t feel as weigheddown anymore.

Until the silence is disrupted by ahigh-pitched scream that is most likely Sabrina’s coming from downstairs.

“We should probably go downstairs,” Ryanstates and Sharpay groans and snuggles further into his shoulder.

“I don’t want to,” she says stubbornly,“Can’t we just stay here forever and pretend everything’s okay?”

“Hey, hey,” Ryan says as he grabs her faceand makes her lock eyes with him, “It will be okay. It may take time, but itwill.”

He doesn’t know whether he believes whathe’s saying, but they seem to have convinced Sharpay. She sighs and rolls hereyes, but nods regardless before they stand up. However, when Ryan starts tomove, he doesn’t hear the clicking of her heels.

“Ry?”

He hears her voice, small andvulnerable, behind him and as he turns around, she flies into his arms and embraces him tightly.

“I love you,” she murmurs into his neck,her voice breaking, and he squeezes a little tighter.

“I love you, too, sis,” he says and hefeels her smile before she lets go with a sigh and ruffles his hair affectionatelybefore making her way out of the room.

And as he follows her downstairs, Ryan knowsthat he does believe in the words he uttered before. As long as he has hissister, everything will be okay.

#high school musical #ryan x sharpay #fanfiction #mine: fanfiction #mine #prompts #idk about this #i feel like i could have created conflict or something #but i just wanted them to be on each other's side through this you know?#also i thought about killing ryan but figured that would be too cruel lmao #benignbitch19 #ask

College and mid-twenties headcannons please

Most of these ended up being about the start of college, oops.

Troy initially really loves college, even though he does miss his parents and friends a lot. He makes new friends easily and he loves his classes and the theatre department (which he becomes a dedicated member of, which Gabriella and Kelsi are both very emotional about) and he feels freed from the pressure that was put on him during high school. However, when the basketball season starts, he starts feeling pressured again to the point where he almost quits the team. He doesn’t quit in the end, though, because he loves basketball too much, but he does realise that he doesn’t want to pursue sports after college.

Gabriella has already had an introduction to college life during the Freshman Honour’s Program, so she eases into college life relatively easily. However, she is still a huge mess, because she quickly starts to realise that she chose the wrong major, but she doesn’t want to admit that to anyone except Troy. It takes her getting a C on an exam (her first one ever, which upsets her a lot and amuses Troy to no end) for her to make the decision to switch majors.

Sharpay doesn’t go to college, but she does experience the social side of college (parties, etc.) through Peyton and although she acts like she’s above it, she loves it a lot.

Similarly to Troy, Ryan feels a lot of new freedom in college, being released from Sharpay’s shadow and feeling free to be himself. He makes a lot of new friends and excels at his classes, pretty much becoming a Juilliard golden boy.

Chad feels a little lost when he starts college, because he’s missing his friends and the security of high school a lot, but he also really loves the social activities and completely feels throws himself into those. However, he quickly realises that the course load is a lot heavier in college than it was in high school and that he has to put in effort into both college and life in general, so college helps him grow up and become more responsible.

Taylor fares extremely well in college, kicking ass in academics and doing lots of extracurricular activities and several internships to build her resume. Because of this, she doesn’t have much of a social life, but her roommate does drag her to parties sometimes and she likes them more than she’d like to admit.

Kelsi is overwhelmed by being alone in the immensity that is New York initially, but since she has Ryan to rely on and he helps her out of her comfort zone, she ends up really coming out of her shell and after some time, she can’t imagine being anywhere else than in New York.

Zeke gets very insecure about his cooking skills when he gets into culinary school, since everyone is so good. He’s severely underestimating himself, of course.

Jason decides to not go to college, because it’s just not for him, but he does tag along with Chad to college parties often.

Martha meets her husband quite early in college and ends up getting married before she graduates.

gabriella and sharpay, Troy and Kelsi, and Kelsi and Shapray

Gabriella/Sharpay - I want to say their big confrontation scene before GGMOW, but I love that scene more for Gabriella as a character rather than for the dynamic between her and Sharpay, so I’ll go for the hallway scene at the beginning of HSM2. I love how they’re trolling each other in that scene (especially Gabriella, who is so subtly bitchy and it just amuses me endlessly) and I also love that Sharpay apparently taught Gabriella vocal exercises. Also, most importantly, hand-holding!!! Out of context secret girlfriends!!!

Troy/Kelsi - This is actually a tie between the playmakers scene in HSM1 and their hug in HSM3, because I really can’t choose between those two scenes. I love the playmakers scene for so many reasons, the main one being that Troy, doesn’t know Kelsi at all at that point and still completely gets her and knows exactly how to encourage her and it’s his encouragement and kindness that sets Kelsi’s character development in motion. You can just see that it strikes something within her and I love the way she completely lights up when he calls her a playmaker. I actually like that analogy a lot as well, because both of them play such fundamental roles in the plot and in the gang and it’s nice to see that acknowledged, even if it’s implicitly. Also, it’s so cute how shell-shocked she is when he first talks to her. :’) On the other hand, I like the hug scene in HSM3, because Troy is so distraught and hopeless and Kelsi can cheer him up with just the comfort of her hug and I love that so much. I love them so much.

Kelsi/Sharpay - I’d have to go for the scene after the auditions in HSM1, because it really establishes their dynamic well and who they both are as characters (Sharpay being an alpha bitch and Kelsi being a shy nerd), and also because it’s pretty much their only major scene together, lol. However, I also have mixed feelings about that scene, because Sharpay is so completely out of line to Kelsi... But overall, it’s still a good scene. I also really love Kelsi standing up to Sharpay before Breaking Free, but similarly to the Gabpay confrontation, I like that scene more for Kelsi as an individual rather than for Kelsi and Sharpay’s dynamic.

send me a hsm pairing and i’ll give you my favourite scene of them
