Ficlet: Untitled (BSB)
You all suck. I said talk me out of it, not cheer me on. And what's come out of this? Now I have an appointment tomorrow at 14:30 to get my first tattoo. And I even paid for part of it already, so I can't back out. Meep. The parlor I wanted to go to at first doesn't do any tattoos anymore according to my research, so I had to bike to another one that was thankfully also close to me but up a small hill. I must have looked pretty dishevelled when I came in.
I wrote a little ficlet yesterday, inspired by a picture that turloughishere posted and by a discussion about how, judging by the picture, Kevin must be taking lessons in being cute from Nick. It's the first Backstreet fic(let) that I ever wrote, can you believe it?
"Looking cute is all about the details," Nick told him sternly. "See, I've got the cute hair and the cute eyebrows and the cute mouth. And you, you've got - You, um - Hey AJ! Gimme your hat for a second."
AJ shrugged and tugged off his woolly hat, flinging it at Nick, who caught it neatly and pulled it down over Kevin's head. "You've got this cute hat."
"Hey," AJ protested. "My hat is not cute!"
"On Kevin it is," Nick argued. "Right, Kev?"
"Hmpf," Kevin made and pulled the hat over his eyes.
"No no no," Nick peeled it back up. "Like that." Honestly, he didn't understand why Kevin was acting like this was physically painful or something. It wasn't as if Nick was offering his advice to everyone - the least thing Kevin could do was listen. He plucked a few strands of hair from under the hat and arranged them on Kevin's forehead. "There you go. Cute. Look, AJ, don't you just want to pinch his cheeks?"
"If your fingers come even near my cheeks, I'm gonna break them," Kevin growled.
"Hey, I'm just an innocent bystander." AJ called from the couch.
"Keviiin," Nick whined. "It won't work if you're all 'don't look at me or I'm gonna punch you'. C'mon, smile!"
Kevin opened his mouth obediently, but it was more like a pit bull showing teeth than a real smile.
"I'm giving up." Nick threw up his hands. He sat down beside AJ with an irritated huff, crossing his arms over his chest. "Ask me again if you actually, you know, want to participate."
Kevin sighed deeply, coming over and crouching down in front of Nick. "Hey," he said softly, then prodded Nick's arm when Nick didn't react. "You know what?" Nick grunted in answer. "You're cute when you're annoyed."
I need to calm my nerves and distract myself, so: I couldn't find the original text of the meme (is there even one?), but
If you want to know what happens after my stories, ask away. Or you tell me what happens and I'll correct you.
Stories can be found here; older ones also here (note to self: update!).
