10 Reasons Why You Should Be Writing David/Gregg Right Now: A (Mostly Visual) Manifesto
You guys. I can't. I have no idea how I missed most of this. To the people who have been sending messages via carrier pigeon only to have their missives fall on deaf ears: y'all are pilgrims. Honestly, I knew in the back of my head that David Henrie was besties with Mason from WoWP and there was real potential for sexy times there, but I see now that I had no idea. But here we are all the same. I've gathered from my previous post that there are perhaps a dozen of you out there intrigued by this pairing. Exciting!!
A Note: This is by no means an exhaustive study of the ways and means of Messers David Henrie and Gregg Sulkin. I see it more as a call to build something beautiful together. There's basically no fic, which is really too bad, because I'm a sucker for the first-time best friends trope, and this pairing is exhibit A for that.
Also, I actually don't even know how they met. (Someone go grab their Harriet the Spy notebook and figure that out!!) I'm assuming it was on set or perhaps at some industry event soon after Gregg got his Wizards role. But they certainly hit it off pretty well, since they were in Cabo posing for pictures behind a backdrop of fireworks by New Years Eve 2009.
So. Brief biographical information. Let's pretend I didn't cut & paste this from Wikipedia, yes?
David Henrie (21 years old) was born in Mission Viejo, California, the son of Linda (née Finocchiaro) and Jim Henrie, and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. He is the brother of actor Lorenzo Henrie. Henrie was raised as a Roman Catholic and, according to his website, comes from a "large, loud, Italian family". Henrie is an avid hockey fan and went to school at Cheyenne Traditional School.
Gregg Sulkin (18 years old) is an English actor. He made his film debut in the 2006 British release Sixty Six, and subsequently became known for appearing in the Disney comedy series As the Bell Rings and Wizards of Waverly Place. In 2010, he starred in the television movie Avalon High. Sulkin was born in London. Like his character in Sixty Six, he is Jewish. He attended Highgate School in North London.

"We have some scary breaking news to report! Gregg Sulkin from Wizards of Waverly Place
had to be rushed to the hospital yesterday-straight from the set-because his appendix burst during shooting.
According to our on-set source, Gregg was rushed to a nearby hospital to undergo emergency surgery.
His co-star David Henrie was by his side the whole time, and we hear that Gregg is now doing ok.
