[shenanigans-and-imagines]

Ooohhhh yes. Sleeping with Logyn

Who snores?

They both do, but Sigyn’s is significantly more quiet, almost like a low purr and Loki thinks it’s adorable.  Sigyn denies it, but he knows the truth.

If both do, who snores the loudest?

See above.

Do they share a bed or sleep separately?

Share a bed.  Even when they’re going through a rough time, Loki has to do something really really bad to be banned to the couch.  After over a thousand years together, it’s a hard habit to break.

If they sleep together, do they cozy up together or lay far apart?

9/10 they cozy up.  They switch between big spoon and little spoon and positions, but it’s inevitable that they get close. 

The only time they don’t is if they’ve had a really bad fight and one of them actually puts up a small shield between them.

Who talks in their sleep?

Sigyn, but like her snoring it’s fairly quiet and just a string of indistinguishable murmurs.  Loki does have his fun though and tries to have full on conversations with her and in the morning is like, “you don’t remember? Dear, we discussed it last night”

What do they wear to bed?

Loki wears sleep pants and not much else; he doesn’t strike me as a pajama guy

Sigyn wears some kind of nightgown, usually shift, but there are occasions she brings out the silk

Are either of your muses insomniacs?

Loki usually has a harder time sleeping than Sigyn.  When they first start regularly sharing a bed, Sigyn did try to stay up with him to help him sleep, but it soon became clear her efforts were all for naught.  Loki did appreciate the gesture though.  Even when he can’t sleep he doesn’t leave the bed, content to simply lay beside his wife with a book or simply letting his mind wander.

Can sleeping pills be found by the bedside?

That would be a negative, just because Loki doesn't really sleep doesn’t mean he’s going to acknowledge it as a problem.

Do they wrap their limbs around each other or just lay side by side?

Whether they’re wound tight our spread out, somebody’s limb is on somebody else’s.  It could just be Loki’s hand on her stomach or her arm across his chest, but some way they’re still touching.

Who wakes up with bed hair?

They both do, but Loki’s is much easier to calm down with just some water and a comb.  Sigyn’s is an entire process.  Loki found her nest of curls utterly hilarious the first time they shared a bed together.

Who wakes up first?

Loki.  Like I said, the man doesn’t sleep that much and the early morning is a nice quiet time for him.  Granted, Sigyn is a morning person too, she just takes a little longer to get moving.

Who prepares breakfast in bed for the other?

Sigyn. 

Loki can’t cook.  I’m laying out right here.  He can’t even fry himself bacon.  Sigyn at least knows how to work a stove.

What is their favourite sleeping position?

Loki loves waking up with Sigyn half laying on top of him with their legs tangled togehter.  He can’t move and he’s completely okay with that.

Sigyn honestly loves it when she’s curled up in a blanket with Loki curled around her.  She feels a little bad for stealing the blankets, but there’s no denying how warm and secure she feels.

Who hogs the sheets?

Sigyn.  She’s like being warm and Loki doesn’t get cold. It works out.

Do they set an alarm each night?

Sigyn does, but Loki is usually up before the alarm goes off and turns it off before she gets the chance.  He’ll just wake her up when the time comes.

Can a television be found in their bedroom?

If they lived on Earth? Yes.  Though admittedly they don’t use it that often.  Couch is TV time, bed is reading and falling asleep time.

Who has nightmares?

Loki.  He’s always had them.  Sigyn is usually able to help calm him down, but she can’t be there all the time.

Who has ridiculous dreams?

Sigyn.  One of the ways she helps calm him down is distracting him by describing her own dreams.  She can usually pull at least a chuckle out of him and allowing him to relax back into the sheets.

Who sprawls out and takes up most of the bed?

Loki.  Sigyn curls into sheets while Loki spreads out his whole body.

Who makes the bed?

They switch off, usually helping each other because of the size of the bed.

What time is bed time?

Late into the evening.  Midnight is about average for them.

Any routines/rituals before bed?

Typical stuff; get dressed for bed, brush teeth, Sigyn has some stuff she puts in her hair to keep in manageable, Loki teases her about it and they go to bed

Who’s the grumpiest when they wake up?

They switch off depending on the night they’ve had.

I mean JK isn't wrong. He's doing it because he's in his feelings, but honestly even if I was besties with Yoongi I would probably have doubts about how this could end because Yoongi is a whore and nothing is wrong with that, but never seeing a man settle with anyone would make it hard to see if he would do it this time 🤷🏾‍♀️.

Also (I know, I know the story wouldn't be as dramatic and wouldn't be as long if not for all this) YN could have talked to him after the first misstep. I feel like if either of their dumbasses (YN and JK) would have sat to have an actual conversation JK wouldn't be as fucking unbearable. Especially since she wanted to go back to being the best of friends, why not fully sit down and get things out in the open to properly move forward.

ooohhhh okay wait i love this i love talking about this okay lemme put it under the cut bc this is long--

so jk technically wouldnt be wrong if he wasnt talking about yoonyn. thats the big thing there -- yoongi has already shown that hes a no strings attached guy with no guilt about just hooking up and moving on. and pretty much everyone he hooks up with knows this about him so its not like theyre expecting anything of him

the issue is that it IS yn. so not only would yoongi never do that to her bc shes special, yn KNOWS he would never do that to her. their friendship is like,,, the platonic soulmates thing, right. they always know what the other persons thinking and where their hearts are at, all the time. so even though yoongi is Big Dumb and didnt talk to her about the fake dating thing, yn was never really mad about it bc she knows what yoongi had been trying to do -- that he'd wanted to help. yoongi never once really has thought of the arrangement in a selfish way -- even when hes being gross and saying stuff like we should makeout and have practice sessions and fake complaining about not being able to touch her, hes genuinely not making any of it about him if that makes sense? hes kind of innocently gross LOL he sees it the same way she sees it. its like a fun inside joke for them and they wanna do it right

tbh yns also not at the point where shes even thinking 'how could this end well for me if yoongis never settled' bc she isnt aware of her feelings at all and neither is yoongi, this is all still just an act for them. but even when they do get there, yoongis never gonna show any signs of NOT committing to yn bc shes literally the only person in the world that COULD make him commit. he lowkey already is awefwe

also yn definitely could have better explained things to jk but even with what she did say in those first convos between them, its kind of clear that jk wouldnt have listened. i mean, he didnt listen when she said no and she said no like 50 times. and she dated this guy for 2 years so its kinda like she already knows hes not gonna hear what shes saying and that its a waste of her time

and thats why theyre so messy!!!

#this was a long respnsesgaegege sorryyyyy #i really like talking about their dynamics its a lot of fun #the takeaway i guess is that even when yoongis doubting himself yn never once doubts him so theres no real tension between them #bc yns gonna set it straight and make it clear that theyre okay!! #and jk #itll take him a long time and hes gonna say some more terrible shit bc hes terrible and gross but eventually he'll figure his life out #also also i feel like this might read as defensive but its not!! i know these babes have flaws #which is why i like talking about the stuff thats underlying in their relationships

My Reaction to “Gotham” S4E21

Screw that ending.  In its entirety.

AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post (even though about 20% of this post is horrified screaming)

“Dig me up!”  *starts singing “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham!*

DIG ME UP/ BEFORE YOU GO-GO/DON’T LEAVE ME LAYING THERE LIKE A HOBO

Pretty much the latter half of Gotham 4B is dedicated to dragging the ever loving crap out of Jerome

*cups hands around mouth*  JIM AIN’T DEAD!

Lucius!

“Last time we [the other officers] followed you [Harvey], the Pyg slaughtered us.”  I haven’t reached Professor Pyg yet in my reactions but C’MON!

Thank you, Harper!

“...he’s outside and he’s not alone.”  Oooooohhhhh...

THAT OUTFIT THOUGH!

“JEREMIAH!  JEREMIAH!”  Dude even has a back-up choir!

I also really like the military-style outfit that the other followers have on

This natural lighting on Bullock and the other officers looks pretty nice, I gotta say

Can we talk about this wide shot of Bullock and the other officers vs. Jeremiah and his followers?  ‘Cause that is a thing of beauty.

“Don’t compare me to that short-sighted psychopath.”  #DraggingJeromeValeska2k18

For some reason, Jeremiah sounds like a mix between Hannibal Lector [Anthony Hopkins] and Andrew Scott’s Jim Moriarty (except if he were American)

*Jeremiah pulls out another dead man’s switch*  Oh crap...

*The clock tower goes down*  OHHHHHH!

Here’s my question:  where did Jeremiah get his outfits?

“Looks aren’t everything,” my ass...

What the crap did they [Penguin and Butch] do to Jongleur?

“If it isn't little Penguin. Oh, and Butch's corpse.“  Pfftt....

“The man responsible for the recent fireworks is Jeremiah Valeska.  Twin brother of our old associate.“  HOW DO YOU [Oswald] KNOW?!?

“[Tabitha] Don’t look at me [Barbara] like that.”  Pfftt...

Bruce!

“I'm [Harvey] so sick of that freaking family [the Valeskas]...“  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

“[Bruce] Be with Alfred.  Be safe.  It's what Jim would want.“  Yes, please!

“Alfred, where have you been?”  “No, not Alfred.”  Shit.

When did Jeremiah take the time to dye his hair in between this episode and the last one?

Ecco probably did it.  We know she did.

“But I meant what I [Jeremiah] said.  You're my best friend, and today I'm gonna prove it to you [Bruce].“  Screw this noise!

Wait, you can turn off the dead man’s switch?

“Tell the police and I'll know. Just like I [Jeremiah] know that's where you [Bruce] are right now.“  Wait, how does he know?  Is there a spy inside the precinct?

HERCULES MULLIGAN

*cups hands around mouth*  I TOLD Y’ALL HE [Jim] AIN’T DEAD!

Lee!

*Jim rips out the IV in his arm*  Why do people keep doing that in Hollywood stuff?  Seriously.

That is the most graceful collapse back onto the bed that I’ve ever seen, Jim.

“I'm [Selina] gonna be here whenever you [Bruce] need me.”  Aaaawww....

“He [Jeremiah] wants something out of me [Bruce].”  “Like what, to be your best friend?“  Actually, yes... for some reason...

I don’t like thisss... not one bittt....

*Bruce is shown footage of Alfred getting beat up*  AAAAAAHHHHH!!!

“If this is what you [Lee] want, I will do it.  For you.”  Oh my gosh, Ed is so unbelievably stupid!

“Do it for us.”  They better not, they better not-

*Lee and Ed kiss*  Eeuughh!

Whoa...

Is that blood... on the mirror above the captain’s office?

Please tell me it’s silly string.

AN:  It’s spray paint.

“The bombs are connected by a nervous system. The core relay is the brain. We find that, we destroy that-”   “We can stop the bombs from going off.”  Where’s the core relay?

That transition overhead shot of Gotham is so obviously New York City.

OOOHHHH THAT’S A NICE SHOT....

“I envy you.”  You do not.  Shut the hell up.

“Call our friend.  Tell him to kill the butler.  He's no longer necessary.“  You better not!

“And is that my dear Jongleur with my core relay in his hand and a grenade taped to his mouth?”  Hooooooo....

Oh my gosh, that hat take-off though!

This is gonna go south real fast.

Look at Jeremiah sitting in the chair all proper and dandy!

“I see.  I play the villain, you get away scot-free and rich.  I get you the money, you give me back my core relay.“  Oh my god, Oswald, you dead.

*Jeremiah rolls his eyes whenever Barbara speaks*  HAHAHAHA!

“I'm nothing if not sane.  And reasonable.  Two things my brother never valued.  Which is why I'll be successful where he failed.  Well, that and being vastly more intelligent.“  *hisses in panic*

#DraggingJeromeValeska2k18

“We're not just gonna hand this thing over and let him destroy Gotham, are we?”   “Of course not.  Once we get the money, we kill Jeremiah and his people, give the core relay to the police, split the $50 million, and are hailed as the heroes of Gotham!”  WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS OUT LOUD?!?  WHY?!?

EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM IS DEAD

*Jeremiah pulls out a bazooka*  OOHHHHH

“Are you [Jeremiah] OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?”  Yes.

“What's insane about having a backup plan?  Something Jongleur never knew about.“  True!

Oh my gosh, Jeremiah running up the stairs!  Speedy Gonzalez!

“I imagine you're wondering, why is Jeremiah doing this?“  I bet you’re wondering I brought you here today...

“My brother once said, "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy.“  Oh my God...

*screams when Alfred is shown being tortured*

Oh my God...

Craaaaap!

*gasps when Alfred gets doused in laughing gas*

*weakly*  Noo....

“I'm only helping you because I'm with Lee now.”  “Fine.  Whatever.” Hahaha!

“Ed, Jeremiah Valeska is threatening to destroy half the city.  You really think I care if you've deluded yourself into thinking you and Lee are a couple?“  YES!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU JIM!  YESSSS!!

“She's with me in every way.”  Punch him.  Now.

“And you, Jim, are ten times the killer that I ever was.”  Ed, shut the heck up.

*slaps desk with every other word*  Can we please get back to the discussion at hand please thank you!

Is that Gotham?

“Jeremiah lived his entire life in a maze.  Now he's trying to remake the city into the place he feels most safe.“  Man...

“It’s [the solution to the maze] actually rather elegant.”  Shoot, Jeremiah’s more like the Riddler than the actual Riddler in this show!

Punch him [Ed].  Now!

*Jim knocks out Ed with one punch*  YESSSSSS!  THANK YOU!

*claps with each word*  Jim Gordon, MVP.

“Get the core relay, he [Oswald] says!  Have the upper hand, he says!“  Heehee!

“That means we can disrupt them by disarming the first bomb in the sequence.  It's like removing one light from a string of Christmas lights.“  So where’s the first one?

*Jim and Harvey reunite with a hug*  YAY!

You’d think Jeremiah would keep his plans more well hidden...

*Scarecrow sneaks up behind Selina*  OOOOOOHHHHHHH

IS THAT A SCYTHE?!?!?

Scarecrow’s literally just standing there, literally not moving, just holding his scythe.  It’s for the aesthetic.

*Scarecrow swings his scythe at Selina*  WHOA!

Bruce!  Get out of there!

AAAAAAHHHHHH I’M NOT LIKING THIS EPISODE AT ALL!

Fear toxin!  It’s fear toxin!  Bruce, you’re hallucinating this!

*screams when Fake Alfred gives himself a Glasgow smile*

I’m not likin’ this episode!

*gasps when Fake Alfred goes after Bruce*

I’m actually shaking...

No, no, Bruce, this is fake!

*Selina finds a hostage in a closet*  That has to be the real Alfred!

Who’s Bruce fighting then?

*screams when Fake Alfred gets shot and falls over the balcony*

“Alfred...”  Hug.  Please.  Hug.

[The generator bomb] Looks like a building...

Why and how did Jeremiah dye his hair?  I like it though.

Vertigo shot....

“This is a message to the followers of Jeremiah Valeska.  Jeremiah claims to have killed me [Jim].  Well, bad news, I'm alive.“  Haha!

“So, just know you're worshipping a fraud. A pale imitation of Jerome.“  Whoooo...

Go Jim!

You [Harvey] better not be doing “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe” on a bomb...

Aaaand he did.

*jumps when Jeremiah silences the cultists*

[Jeremiah smiles]  *softly*  Oh my God that’s awesome... oh my God...

*Jeremiah purges the cultists*  OOOHHHHHH

Here’s my question:  where’s Ecco?

“Perhaps the outcome was not what we had hoped, - but it was worth the risk.“  Oswald, shut up.  Let everybody enjoy their booze.

*Butch decides not to join Oswald*  Thank you!

Is that an old church?

“Think think think think think think...”  Haha!

“Who are you?  What do you want?”  “I [Ra’s]had a vision.  Of Gotham in flames.”  *gasps*

OOHHHH MY GODDD.... OH my God, I was right!

I freaking called it [Jeremiah and Ra’s meeting]!  I freaking called it!  Jeremiah and Ra’s are gonna cause No Man’s Land...

“Because, my boy-”  Mah boy... not a good sign!  Not a good thing!

“-this is about Bruce Wayne.”  Of course it is!  It’s always about Bruce!

Drink all the booze!

It’d be cool if we see Bludhaven next season.

Oh I like that lighting... it’s so good!  Jim in yellow and Lee in blue...

“But whatever happens after I walk out that door, I care about you.  And I always will.“  Aawww...

Oh man, this is sad.  Man...

Freaking Ed... get the heck out!

Get frozen in ice again!

*The precinct applauds Harvey*  Yaaayy!  Yay, recognition for Harvey!  This is stuff I like this show!  Yaaay!

Happy ending?  In a “Gotham” episode?  It’s probably less likely than I think!

[Bruce and Alfred] Hug!  Please!  Hug!

*Alfred leaves*  Dang it.

“Thank you again.  I don't know what would have happened if you weren't there.”  Aaawww...

Oh oh oh are they are they-

*Bruce and Selina kiss*  OOOHHHHHH!!!  Yes!

“Jeremiah said all it takes is one bad day to drive a person insane. I wonder if my parents dying made me [Bruce] a little insane.“  Mmmm....

*gasps when Jeremiah strolls in*

*Jeremiah shoots Selina*  OOOHHHHHHHH!! NO! NOOOO!!!

*Alfred tackles Jeremiah to the ground and beats the crap out of him*  YES YES YES YES THANK YOU!

NOOOO!!  No, no, she’s alive!

*Credits start playing*  Screw this entire show.  I’m done.

Just A Little Ditty

Pairing: Kadam

Prompt two of Kadam week 2017

Just a Little Ditty

Adam knew Kurt was a mechanic. He knew Kurt was certified and could legally work in his dad’s shop…or any others if he so chose, with a little bit of effort put into getting legalities right or something or other. He knew Kurt was going to spend the first half of summer working at Burt’s garage.  It would involve tires and grease and dirt and sweat and Kurt threatened Adam’s life if he dared take photo proof back to the Apples.

Kurt had left for Lima and his job a week before Adam was able to leave New York.  Kurt talked his dad into letting Adam stay in one of the extra rooms at the house and getting a fixer car for Adam to drive while in Lima, since he was getting Kurt one as well.  Burt had picked up Adam from the airport in Columbus and the chat on the way to Lima was full of the usual ‘you hurt my kid’ threats, but Adam hadn’t minded. He just was really looking forward to see Kurt after it all and reminding himself why it was worth it.

Adam knew Kurt was a mechanic. It just hadn’t really sunk in what that meant.

Burt drove Adam directly to the garage. He’d promised Kurt that Kurt could have the rest of the day off to get Adam settled in and show him around if Kurt worked until Adam arrived, so they hadn’t stopped anywhere on the way to Lima. Adam had been quite hungry and eager to collect Kurt and head off to the house to drop his bags off and maybe even just eat there.

However the sight of Kurt that met Adam at the garage made him reconsider his hurry.

Burt directed Adam to the doorway beside one of the large garage doors.  Adam opened it to see a most incredible sight.

The first thing he noticed was the cherry red old car…something from the 50s he thought. He knew it was one of those that people drooled over, but he had no clue what it was called.  It had the hood up.

The next thing Adam noticed was Kurt. He was bent over and had his top half shoved under the hood of the car.

Time had been very good to Kurt, if the worn out coveralls the other man was wearing were any indication.  Now, Adam was aware his love was fit.  His favorite time of day was when Kurt practiced Yoga. Lovely abs, trim waist, muscled thighs, calves and arms, sculpted hind end, string shoulders and an absolute magnificent back were his morning meditation.  It was just that the coveralls seemed to highlight Kurt’s best attributes.  The coveralls were light blue and had the garage logo on the back. They were tight over his shoulders and through his back.  They fit nicely over the seat area…they fit very nicely over the seat.

The sleeves were rolled up till they were short, and stretched over Kurt’s bicep.  The muscles in Kurt’s arms bunched and relaxed as Kurt did whatever he was doing to the car.  The pant legs were also rolled up, cuffed at almost the height on Kurt’s calf they they’d rolled their pants to go calm hunting that one time with the Apples. Kurt had on dirty red canvas shoes and white crew socks.  A red baseball cap was backwards on top his head.  

Adam’s eyes were drawn right back to Kurt’s rear end.  It was bouncing as he sang.  Kurt had a red neckerchief tucked in a back pocket that swayed with the motion.

Adam leaned against the door frame and just watched and listened, an amused smile on his face.  He flicked open his phone and started to record.

“…where the creek turns back by the old stump road, I’m going take you to a special place that nobody knows...baby get ready. Ooohhhh.”

The bounce turned into a sway and bop and the rest of Kurt’s body got more into the dance as he hit the chorus.   His feet tapped and did tiny little motions, like they were ghosting steps to a well known dance.

“You and me going fishin’ in the dark. Lying on our backs and counting the stars where the cool grass grows. Down by the river in the full moonlight, we’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night, just movin’ slow. Staying the whole night through, feels so good to be here with you.”

Adam nearly drew Kurt’s attention as he started the second verse.  Kurt’s voice took on a twang and drawl that he’d never admit to but that Adam found pretty adorable.  Kurt was now bopping his head to the song as well as he sang.  Burt appeared on the other side of the garage, having come in through the front and stopped at the office momentarily.  Adam held up his finger in a ‘shhhh’ sign.  

Burt smiled and nodded, watching Adam film Kurt’s performance. Adam thought there just might be some sort of approval in Burt’s smile and nod…he’d just not certain at what.

As soon as Kurt had finished the song, but before he started anything else Burt called out to him.

“Kurt,” Burt yelled. “You done with that tune up yet?”

“Just fiddling now.  It’ll be ready when the owner gets here. Wait! Dad!” Kurt backed out from under the hood quickly, looking towards his dad’s voice. It gave Adam the time to tuck his phone away.  “Where’s Adam?”

Burt laughed.

“Over here, love.” Adam said. Kurt turned his way.  Bits of hair were sticking up from under the cap and there was a smudge on Kurt’s chin.  

Kurt ripped off a pair of gloves and tossed them onto the little cart near the car.  “You’re here,” was almost a whisper before Kurt shouted it again. “You’re here!”

Adam caught his love up in his arms as Kurt ran his way, twirling him around. “Did you expect me to get lost?” Adam asked.

Kurt snorted. “No, but I worried you might think better and stay in New York where things are insane in a good way. I still don’t know what you expect to do here in Lima for several weeks.”

Adam nuzzled his face in Kurt’s neck. “I plan to spend it with you, of course.  Maybe be taught to change a tire or tune a belt or something.”

Kurt laughed. “Or something.”

“Besides, I’ve a screenplay to work on. Professor Tanner said he wanted to see my senior project expanded.  These next few weeks will be perfect.”

“Really?” Kurt jumped again. “Do you think that means he might have someone who could be interested in putting it on?”

“Well..” Adam said slowly. “The last two students he told to expand their projects, and who actually did so, ended up with their plays in off-Broadway theaters.  Both for at least year long runs.  This could be huge, Kurt.”

Kurt squealed and hugged Adam again.

‘Come on,” Kurt said.  “I’ll introduce you to the guys and then we can head out.  Did you stop at the house?  If not, I’ll change at home…maybe shower first.  I’ll fix you something to eat there to tide you over before we find someplace to eat out.  Not too much because we will have dinner at home tonight with Dad and Carole. It’ll be great. Carole is making dinner, not me.  We might be eating drilled burgers. I don’t know, she didn’t say, but she’s as good at grilling as dad and she…”

“Son,” Burt interrupted Kurt. “Are you going to let the boy answer?”

Kurt blushed.

“It’s fine.  My luggage is in your dad’s car.”

“We’ll get it out and you can choose your junker.  Dad has three for you to choose from for the next few weeks.  They don’t’ look great but they’ll run fine for as long as we need them.  The one I picked I know could even get us out and off to places like the lakes or ball games or races or whatever you’d like to see while here. Oh, and maybe we could find an amusement park or something, we’re too early for the fairs but I promise I will not let you be bored the whole summer. I’ve worked extra hour last week and earned a few extra days off. It will be great, and of course there is TV and I’ve got tons of movies and we can hit the theater sometimes, they even have cheap showings everyday.”

The other men in the office like area they’d walked into chuckled as Kurt talked without pausing again, even after Burt had said something.  

“But tonight,” Kurt continued, ignoring the others. “We’ll stay home and everyone can get to know each other.  I know Carole wanted to hear more about the apples and maybe we can sing a bit of a few of the mash-ups for her. We can probably drag out a board game or two as well.  I just hope you don’t get too bored here.”

“Will I get to hear more of those delightful fishin’ type songs?” Adam asked.

Kurt turned cherry red. One of the older men burst into laughter.

“We’ll have to get him to do Elvira for you. It’s a trip!”  The man wearing the blue jean overalls instead of a coverall exclaimed. “And you’ll have to stop by every day to see what the day brings from the songbirds mouth.”

Kurt rolled his eyes.  “Ages upon ages ago they made me a game.  They roll dice as soon as I enter the garage and the one with the highest roll gets to pick songs all day. Even my dad plays, he likes singers like Mellencamp.”

Adam chuckled. “You always did seem to know almost everything the Apples could dig up, even though Rachel constantly dismissed your vocal catalog as solely Broadway show tunes and maybe some Beatles.”

“Rachel wouldn’t know a varied repertoire if it bit her bum.” Kurt said with an eye roll.

“True.  However I am not going to be the one to try to convince the great Rachel Berry of that.  I love having working eardrums.” Adam said. “I can’t wait to hear more here in the shop.”

“This one’s a keeper, champ. Last one was very…rude…about Kurt’s working songs.”

“Last one was rude about Kurt’s working here, plain and simple.”

“Yes, well…this one is a much better model.” Kurt said. “More reliable and trustworthy, too.  Cassius is the one with the grey hair and he’s partial to song choices like the Everly Brothers and John Denver, Hank has the biker boots on and likes old time rock and roll and people like Springsteen and Bon Jovi and Lou is the one obsessed with Elvira.  Robbie is the younger one at the cash register taking Mrs. Roses’ payment. He requests whatever floats into his head.  I’ve sung Sesame Street songs for Robbie…and heavy metal…and Irish pubs songs. We’ve had other workers here with as varied tastes as Mexican Pop to Spirituals and Dixie Tunes.  Hi, Mrs. Rose.”

“Oh, Kurt dear!  Spin around lovely.”  The little white haired lady twirled her finger to Kurt and he complied, rolling his eyes. “Oh My! New York is very good to you isn’t?”

Adam tilted his head and laughed, which brought the old ladies attention to him.

“Oh, and look at what you dragged home this time around.  He’s a nice catch there, dearie.”  Mrs. Rose said, coming over to pat Kurt’s cheek before heading out with Burt, who helped her into her car.

“So what do you sing when it is your choice to pick?” Adam asked.

“What makes you think I ever get a choice?”

Adam laughed.  “Darling, you might play their game but I know you are the one truly in charge.  You play because it is good for you and you enjoy it.  I am sure they all know it as well.”

Kurt smiled and tilted his head towards Adam, conceding the point. “Fine.  My go to mechanic work songs are Disney. Old, new…whatever.  I just sing Disney while I work on cars if it is up to me.”

Adam’s belly laugh filled the room. “I do adore you.”

Kurt snorted. “I should hope so. Are you ready to head out? Are you sure you won’t be bored for the next few weeks?”

“Never.  In fact my love, I think I’m going to be just fine here.” Adam said.
