This is so them, from Joe drawing goatees on centerfolds to Billy spitting in his coffee. And I love the idea of Billy working at a truck stop! Hee. Great job, as always, Linden!

Thank you so much, aka!

These stories were written in a frenzy (because work's been crazy, lately) and I'm so happy to hear that I maybe got something right, anyhow :)

Oh yeah! You fucking get them! I draw hearts over this, hearts with holes cut in them.

Aw, that's a really cool image ♥ Thank you so much!

A thousand times gah! This is funny and hot and so very, very them. Their voices are perfect.

Joe makes sure to look Billy in the eye while he lifts the cup to his lips and takes a drink, anyway. He smiles through his teeth.

♥ I'm grossed out and thrilled in tandem.

Yay! Thank you! I was kind of aiming for disgusting and endearing at the same time *g*

Man, this is perfect! They're such... wankers. Gross and nasty and in love. I love it, thank you!

I'm glad you liked it! I really loved the prompt - the story's a plotless little thing, but I had fun thinking up this scenario *g*

Okay, that's kind of gross. Gross and in character.

Hmm, why is Joe calling his parents Mr and Mrs Mulgrew instead of mom and dad? I'm probably missing something...

Gross and in character.

That's a fact :D I was really grossed out by Joe and Billy (and Pipe and John) spitting on each other in the movie when I first saw it.

And the reason I had Joe call his parents Mr. and Mrs. maybe got lost in the separation and shortening of what was originally going to be a longer story, where I was going to put more emphasis on Joe feeling alienated and distanced from parents that I imagined as being kind of timid and drab.

Okay, I get it. For a moment there, I was going "wait, he's not adopted, is he?"
