arsoneil!

WIP Wednesday (9/27) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU

Neil is about to go out for a bite when his pocket vibrates. He freezes solid at the sensation against his leg. His phone never rings. He… He doesn’t have any friends and his mother is long dead. Who in the world would possibly text this number?

It must be spam. Or a telemarketer. Right? Neil nods. Yeah. It has to be. That or Agent Browning needing some sort of information that Neil’s already spoon fed him four fucking times— he hates that dick. Neil rolls his eyes, then pulls his phone out and flips it open to find something totally unexpected. A message from a number he doesn’t recognize.

??? Why do you do it? — Mr. Firefighter

Neil stares at the message for a good minute. What the hell? Oh fuck. The fire people are messaging him?! Neil pushes back the curtain and looks out into the motel parking lot. It’s basically deserted, as usual. Neil hasn’t seen anyone new in the two weeks he’s been in Columbia. Two weeks… Has it been that long already?

Neil counts the days up on his fingers. It has. Shit. He should’ve gone by now. He should’ve left after that ghost of a restaurant called his name, asked him to burn it down. It really was asking for it, Neil recalls. A couple of its windows were busted out and the sign was so faded he couldn’t make out the words. He shakes his head. He’s got to go. He…

Wait. There isn’t anyone outside waiting to arrest him. How odd.

Neil looks at the message again and considers the question. Then, with slightly clumsy fingers he types a response.

i just saw someone say that "the vast majority of the userbase is complaining" about tumblr's recent layout change. i see this a lot after a change: people complaining about it (sometimes without saying what about it is bad, making it sound like either it's self-evident (it usually is not) or just that it's bad because it's change and change is always bad) and saying that everyone else is complaining about it too. i don't know how to tell you this but a) you don't follow every user on tumblr so how can you possibly know what "everyone" or "the majority of users" thinks about anything and b) ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL VERY STRONGLY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT!! people who are not bothered are not spending time posting about how unbothered they are! please look up "selection bias" and stop making me read this nonsense with my own eyeballs.

#i don't get what's so bad abt this change bc it doesn't bother me & no one is explaining it! the most i've seen is it's 'like twitter'#which people don't like i guess bc this might imply that tumblr could be taking more cues from twitter than just the layout?#which is also fallacious reasoning #some changes i do hate. like for instance the change that made it so i can no longer click to the version that someone rbed from #which breaks the prev tag culture :(#but some changes are whatever! and some changes are good even!!#it's fine if it takes time to get used to something being different of course but it seems like the reaction on here can be so extreme #so fast. 'bombard the app with 1-star reviews!!!!' how about you give it a couple weeks and maybe you'll calm down.#i think there's a sense of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' but it is broke though! tumblr is unsustainable and they gotta do stuff to make #the site more attractive and easier to use for new users. they can do that without losing what makes tumblr tumblr #the layout is not what makes tumblr tumblr! the functionality is. and sometimes that does change for the worse #and i get having complaints about that. but not really about moving the location of some buttons #anyway i haven't said anything before because i don't have strong feelings about this UX change but i DO have strong feelings about #the vague yet very forceful complaints about the UX change that i keep seeing lol #tumblr #fallacies #anyway don't get distracted by my tags. this post is not really about me not understanding what's so bad about this specific change #it's about people who hate a change assuming that everyone agrees with them because they're only seeing the reactions from #a biased subset of the userbase #(by biased i don't mean the users are biased. i mean the sample is biased...it's highly likely to include people who feel strongly #and unlikely to include people who are neutral or feel less strongly)

jon’s got his hands up in surrender. he’s overwhelmed, jay can tell. he’s gotten better at handling the press, but sometimes, even for the most experienced, it can get overwhelming. he’s in the center of a crowd, floating a foot off the ground. he’s been trying to find a way out for the last five minutes, but it’s proven difficult to excuse himself. both fans and reporters are trying to get the closest. jay’s a few steps away.

“superman!” he calls out. he has jon’s attention in that same breath, and everyone else follows close. it’s a surprise to everyone around who the voice belongs to.

it’s been years. far too long since the last time they’ve seen each other in person. jay’s gone back to his natural hair color since then, and he’s gone to wearing more neutral colors while working. jon himself has let his curls loose as superman. they nearly cover his eyes, but not enough that jay doesn’t notice it: the confusion when he first spots jay changing into recognition.

a few other reporters seem to pick up on his identity as well. a few questions get thrown at him about him presence in metropolis.

“superman, can you tell us where the criminals are being taken?” jay asks, ignoring the shouting beside him. jon opens his mouth, then closes it. the man next to jay murmurs something jay doesn’t catch. instead, he continues. “there have been rumors recently about many criminals being apprehended by your fellow heroes that have gone missing. the public is beginning to suspect that the heroes have something to do with it. is there anything you can say to that?”

the crowd around him is silent for a moment.

criminals that have been locked up recently by any notable heroes have begun disappearing from their cells. most of the cells have been found with struggles of a fight, and traces of whichever hero had arrested that criminal. a few heroes have been taken in for questioning, and although they’ve all gone home innocent, people are not having it. there have been protests and riots against heroes all over the world since the second time.

it’s one thing for any other reporter to try to question jon on this topic. it’s another thing when it’s his ex questioning him. especially when superman has just been held for interrogation two days ago for supposedly kidnapping an inmate.

the crowd turns back to jon.

“we are looking into the situation. we will find whoever is kidnapping the inmates and justice will be served,” jon answers him. he looks bothered but jay can’t tell if it’s with him or the topic.

“can you confirm or deny if any of the heroes are actually guilty and are being let go due to their reputations?” jay presses. he takes a step forward.

“none of our—“

“what are you doing to try to prevent these kidnappings? how far along are you into the investigation? are the kidnappers simply taking inmates or how long will it be before innocent people begin to disappear?” jay can tell that the questioning is irritating jon, who’s doing an awful job at hiding it.

“we are taking this investigation very seriously. as we speak, there are people on the case, attempting to track down the people responsible. trust me, we are doing everything we can,” jon says firmly.

“have you considered that maybe what you’re doing isn’t enough? sure, they’re criminals but they should be in their cells, not wherever they’re being taken. god knows what’s happening to them now. how many more have to be taken before the people responsible are apprehended?”

that seems to do it. jon forces a smile, then. “sorry but i have to go. maybe we can continue this another time.”

they won’t. but it’s not like he can really say that. jay doesn’t have time to say anything because as soon as he’s done speaking, jon is up, up, and away. the crowd begins to disperse soon after, and jay is left frowning, staring up at the streak of red and blue that jon left behind.

——

technically, jay is in vacation. sure, he hunted down jon yesterday to try and get some answers for his story, but he is on vacation. he’s not in metropolis to get closure from jon, nor is he here for work. he’s here to visit the aerie and wink.

but neither of them are on vacation, which means jay is left to find ways to entertain himself. yesterday had been entertaining enough, and if he could, he’d do it again today. but he doesn’t think jon would listen if he tried.

maybe trying to interrogate jon the way he did wasn’t the best way to be seeing him again for the first time in years.

instead, jay spends his morning at the park. he walks along the path for a few laps until he decides to sit down at one of the benches near the playground. there aren’t many people around, just a few exercising and some others with kids not old enough to be in school yet.

he tries not to, but jay can’t help the way his eyes follow a mother with two kids. one is an infant that she’s pushing gently on the swing, and the other is running around the playground, showing off to his mother. it’s a nice scene, but it leaves jay feeling…well, almost like he’s missed out on something.

jay’s never quite liked the idea of marriage or having a family. sure, when he was younger, he used to dream of marrying whoever his crush was at the time. but as he grew older, especially after bendix, marriage had stopped sounding appealing. kids were never something he felt like he needed in his life. he never imagined kids whenever he thought about his future. but being with jon, loving him and planning for the years to come, well. those things always seemed a bit more appealing with jon in the picture.

but not everything lasts forever.

he still remembers how bitter he had felt those last few days together. how unhappy he had been and how he had begun to pack up his things before he and jon had even broken up. that within hours of officially breaking up, jay was already on his way to gamorra. he had believed there was no going back, then. he remembers how awful it felt to fold up the suit, leaving it on their— jon’s bed with the ring on top. he remembers how damian had texted him at least twice a week to check up on him until jay had asked him to stop. it was hard, ultimately, to try and leave behind the life he had in metropolis. especially when their break up had gone public. there are only so many months superman can go without being seen with his boyfriend before people start asking questions.

jay doesn’t know how long he’s lost in thought for until he feels a sudden rush of wind. he shakes off the thoughts, and looks around. beside him, jon sits on the bench in his suit. it’s a nice shade of blue, now.

“jon?” jay manages before jon leans forward.

“can we go someplace private to talk?” jon asks. he’s staring down at jay, mouth in a straight line. he’s not exactly frowning right now, but it’s very close.

“sure,” he says. he’s glances over to the playground, but the mother and her kids haven’t noticed jon yet, and no one else is close enough to say something.

he watches jon stand up, and he holds his hand out to jay. when jay takes it, jon pulls him up. there’s barely enough time for him to register the moment after because soon enough, jon’s letting him down on top of the daily planet’s globe. it’s nostalgic.

jay finds his balance, only needing to hold onto jon for a second before he’s fine on his own. it’s weird, though, to be standing someplace he shouldn’t be. it’s been too long and he doesn’t quite remember the last time he was up high like this. he turns to face jon, who hasn’t taken his eyes off jay.

“you had something to talk about?” he asks, shoving his hands into his jeans’ front pockets.

“what was that yesterday?” jon asks. there isn’t much of a bite to his words. if anything, he sounds hurt. “we break up and don’t see each other for years, and then you suddenly show up in metropolis, accusing me of kidnapping inmates?”

jay scoffs. “accusing you? i wasn’t accusing anyone. i was just doing my job. something is going on and the people need answers.”

“you humiliated me!”

“that wasn’t the first time someone’s done that to you and it’s definitely not going to be the last. get over yourself. i didn’t come to metropolis to point fingers, i’m not here for you at all. but i saw the chance to get the story and i took it.”

“why else would you be here?”

“i’m visiting the aerie and wink,” jay says. he pushes his glasses up. “you do realize that i lived in metropolis for years before we met, right? i have other friends here.”

jon doesn’t say anything to that, he simply sighs. he crosses his arms over his chest, fingers tapping against his biceps. and jay tries not to stare, but jon’s got a bit more muscle to him, and he can’t help the way his face heats up thinking about it.

“well…” jon starts. he lets his arms fall back down to his sides, and looks out to the city. “it’s…it’s good to see you. you look great.”

jay smiles. he thought if he was ever going to run into jon again, that it would be awkward and he wouldn’t know what to say. but the arguing had been like an ice breaker. the awkwardness didn’t last long and standing here, seeing jon worked up was hilarious. to stay the least. it feels nice.

“thank you,” jay says plainly. he knows he should say the same, but he doesn’t. mostly because he knew that the way jon would look at him, expecting the compliment to be returned would be funny. and it is, when jon huffs and goes to cross his arms again. but jay stops him. he grabs jon’s arms and wraps them around his waist before wrapping his own around jon’s shoulders. he lays his head on jon’s shoulder, looking out to the city as he says, “you’re not so bad yourself, superman.”

#i’m too lazy to go and fix it so it has uppercase letters #posting this before i have second thoughts #this is post canon. they break up bc things go south in their relationship. not bad but they’re unhappy #anyway i believe in jayjon lovers to exes to lovers pipeline #jayjon #jay nakamura #jon kent #superman #soke #dc #supertruth #pink kryptonite #txt

uh i just had a scary moment lol

i saw a post from you that said "Is it just me or is tumblr broken?"

and i was gonna like/reblog, like one does and tumblr wouldnt let me

so i reloaded the page, and tumblr gave me a 404

so i reloaded again and everything was back to normal

but now that post is gone for me

Oh yeah.. oops ;-;

Tooblr wasnt opening for me, so i tried posting, not expecting it to work, but then everything fixed so I deleted it

Sorry about the confusion lol ;-;

I love how this site can fix itself by breaking a little bit differently. Its the virtual equivalent of "hit it til it works"

#rambles #asks #my bad lol...#when tooblr breaks on my i always try to post cuz it usually fixes it

Overall 9.8/10

Okay that's it I did the whole album. I will do the other bonus(???) Tracks later cause Jesus christ there is a lot of them. But thanks for reading my shit opinions on @taylorswift and the new album.
