@newsiestober2023 Day 7: Rain
I'm incredibly late to the party, but I was so inspired by @the-woild-is-y-erster 's Jack/Davey art that I had to write a teensy little something for it!
*****
It's not that Jack can't afford an umbrella for himself.
He's saved enough over the years to splurge on something nice like that if he wanted, and New York is close enough to the coast for something like that to be considered a necessity. Especially when you work outdoors.
Jack Kelly can damn well afford an umbrella if he needs one. What he can't afford is one for himself, and one for Crutchie, and one for Racer, and one for--well, everyone else. So if he has to sell out in the rain for a couple of days a year with only his hat for shelter, so be it. But he'll be damned if he's going to be the only newsie to make it out of this downpour dry while everyone else gets soaked to the bone.
Rain or shine, papes have to be sold. Jack tucks the last remaining copies of The World into his bag and hunches over it for good measure. People hardly want to buy the paper when it's not soaked in rain water.
If he's not watching where he's running, it's certainly not his fault. When he bumps into a solid form and his bag goes flying right into a puddle, Jack's initial reaction is anger.
"Dammit!" He cries, wiping rain from his face and chastising the stranger he's run into. "Look what you've gone and done! That's half a day's pay right th--Davey?"
"Jack!"
Davey's face is ecstatic, despite the gloomy weather and their combined clumsiness. Jack is less than prepared for the way Davey reels him in beneath his umbrella for a bone crushing hug, he nearly loses his grip on the concrete.
His chin hooks over Davey's shoulder, and the shelter of the canopy above them offers Jack short reprieve from the heavy raindrops on his back. If there's a shiver that runs down Jack's spine, it has nothing to do with anything he might feel for Davey, but--Christ, he hadn't even realized he'd been freezing until he felt Davey's warmth.
Jack's never believed in magic, but this makes him want to.
"Crap!" Davey cries, reaching down to pick up the soaked copies of the news. "Your papes. I'm so sorry, Jack. I'll get yours for you when I go selling for the Friday evening edition."
Davey pulls away and the absence of his body heat drags Jack back down to planet earth, where summer is over, and Davey's been back at school the last few weeks. Where Jack only sees Davey on Friday nights and Sundays.
"Don't worry about it," Jack finally manages. It's impressive to even himself that he sounds as composed as he does. "How's school been?" Jack asks the question, but isn't sure he really wants to know all the great times Davey's probably having without him. All the new friends he's making.
But he's not ready to say goodbye yet, either.
Davey shrugs nonchalantly. "Same old tired thing. Boring. I'm headed there now, actually. It's hard to go back to, you know. After doing something that matters."
"School matters."
"Yeah, sorry. Guess I should be grateful and all."
"You should stop sayin' sorry so much."
"Oh, uh, sor--" Davey exhales a laugh of relief. "I hate when you do that."
Jack grins. "I'll keep doin' it, and one day, you actually won't say it, and all will be right with the world."
A comfortable silence settles between them, the kind Jack's come to more than just appreciate, but long for. He knows the natural progression from here is to say goodbye. No matter how he dreads it.
"I uh. Guess you'd better get goin', huh? Wouldn't want you to be late."
"No. Guess not." Davey must realize he's staring, because he clears his throat in that way he does when he's feeling awkward and scans the ground around them. "Did you drop your umbrella, or--"
"Don't have one," Jack replies easily.
"Don't hav--in this weather? Jack!" Davey scolds. "Take it," he orders, firmly pressing his umbrella into Jack's unsuspecting hand.
Jack scoffs. "I ain't taking this. You're gonna get your school clothes all wet!"
"Ma'll wash and dry them."
"I don't know when I'll get a chance to give it back--"
"Jack." Davey grasps Jack's other free hand, staring him down compassionately. From afar it must almost look like they're locked in some sort of dance. "Shut up and take the damn umbrella."
If Jack didn't know any better, he'd say they are. Stuck, in this back and forth of almost flirting and near misses and entirely too many emotional exchanges between them than is appropriate for two young men.
Except Jack does know better.
Davey is miles smarter than anyone he's ever met. He's dedicated, and passionate, and while Jack's the one with the reputation for being a sweet-talker, it's Davey who's got a knack for persuasion.
Davey is going places.
Jack will be stuck in some sort of storm forever.
"Okay," Jack finally says in quiet resignation. He doesn't miss the twitch in Davey's brow--the slightest confusion at Jack's surrender--as Jack grips the smooth wooden handle.
"Bye, Jack."
"Bye, Dave."
Watching Davey walk away is just something Jack will have to get used to, and he decides to start right then. He might never hold Davey as close as he did a few moments ago ever again, but at least he has shelter from the rain.

Interest Check!!
I have a fic idea for Newsiestober involving:
- Prompts of Transformation, Gift of Magic, Ghost, Blood, Bite, and Full Moon
- Spot/Race and Finch/Albert
- Finch POV
- Hurt/Comfort
- Modern AU with fantasy/supernatural (maybe kinda horror in a sense?) themes
The themes is where I’m most hesitant. I don’t really see many fantasy or supernatural AUs/settings here in the Newsies fandom, so I don’t know how well it would be received. Hence, the interest check :)
Feel free to share your thoughts beyond the poll! It’ll help me figure out my decision and make any changes to my approach.
*Let me know you picked this one and I will happily tell you more about the story’s premise!

Newsiestober 2: Newsbians
Prompt: Apples
Summery: Sarah teaches Katherine how to make carmel apples
TW: None
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Carmel apples or candy apples?" Sarah read from the list of fall themed questions.
"I've never had a carmel apple" Katherine admitted. Sarah's eyes widened.
"You've never had a carmel apple?" Sarah clarified.
"Never"
"Come with me, we're gonna make some together!" Katherine blushed as Sarah grabbed her hand to pull her along.
~~~
"My hands are all sticky," Katherine complained. Sarah laughed.
"That's what happens when you make carmel apples"
"Well, I don't like it," Katherine huffed. Sarah kissed her cheek.
"But you look so cute doing it"
Katherine blushed and stopped complaining.
~~~
When the apples were done, Sarah offered a slice to Katherine. She was shocked when Katherine shoved the whole slice in her mouth. Sarah loved that Karherine didn't feel like she had to be ladylike around her.
"This is amazing! Definitely carmel," Katherine said. Sarah laughed.
The two spent the rest or the night cuddling on the couch watching fall movies.

@newsiestober2023 Day 1 - Midnight
I've literally never written a fic before, but decided to do some short things for newsiestober this year! much love to my beta/editors
Jack didn't sleep well on the best of nights, so when the bright light of the full moon found his face, it was inevitable it would wake him up.  He wearily blinked the sleep out of his eyes, groaning as he stretched.
"You're up early."
Jack was startled- but given he had just woken up, he lacked the thinking power required to fully react or comprehend the statement.  "Wh- You're one to.... what?" Exhaustion was present in his tone- his voice slowed and a little deeper than was usual. 
Crutchie laughed. "I said-"
"Yeah, yeah, I got what you said.. What are you doing up?" Jack shoed his friend off with one hand,  using the other to push himself up into a sitting position.
Crutchie, opposite Jack on the other side of the 'penthouse' (It was just a rooftop fire escape, but Jack always liked to call it the former), looked over at the sleepier boy before he allowed his gaze to return to the night sky. "I dunno, just thinking." 
"'Bout what?"
"Just about that dream you told me about. About Santa Fe."  He shrugged.  "Jack, do you really believe we're gonna get out of here? Is it really gonna get better?"  Crutchie asked suddenly.
Jack sighed with a half-smile, scooting over towards him with his sketchbook in hand. "Sure we are.. Hey, you ain't been crying, have you?" He questioned, unsure if it was tears on the boy’s face or just lighting that gave him the allusion. 
The shorter boy sniffed, wiping his face. "Nah, I just.. Did you see the moon? It's full. It's probably around midnight right now.." He changed the subject, looking over to Jack who was now leafing through his sketchbook carefully. He passed the open book over to Crutchie, on which there was a crude 5 minute sketch of Santa Fe. 
"Look- See the horse at the bottom? And the two people with it? That's us. We're gonna catch a train to Santa Fe- We'll get ourselves a horse; find some work on a ranch. We'll get our own place like that; far away from here." Jack said, pointing to the different parts of the drawing as he spoke. 
Crutchie smiled a little. "You sure?
 "I'm sure. We're gonna get out of here, I swear it. We're family, and I'm not going to let you down." Jack promised, pulling Crutchie close into a side hug which the latter accepted gratefully. 
Jack wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not. They might make it, or they might not. But they could hope. They might have just been two working kids in New York- but they had each other to lean against until they made it out.
