“Bittle thinks I forgot his birthday.” X
listen,,,, derek nurse takes a photography class SPECIFICALLY so he can make dex the subject of his series of photos and have him pose however nursey wants him
“nursey why do i have to put these flowers in my hair”
“u don’t want me to fail do you?”
“ok but is it necessary for me to take my shirt off?”
“srsly do you want my gpa to drop? bc i won’t be able to play if i fail this class”
meanwhile nursey has an 110% in the class and could literally not turn in the next 10 assignments and still manage a B in the class
I don’t want to be a jerk, hopping on this pure post and running wild, but think about the end-of-semester art show, where all the best projects from the various art classes are on display and the entire community is invited to see… and of course smh shows up, because that’s what they do… and maybe Dex isn’t prepared to see himself through the lens of Nursey’s camera.
Derek Malik Nursey has been saving the joke ‘Poindorkster’ for months and is waiting for the perfect time to use it
Whiskey says it first. Quietly during a post-kegster clean up and everyone thinks it’s the funniest shit. Dex even laughs. Derek Malik Nurse struggles to not explode but he can’t because he’s CHILL.
my three states of being
im glad we’ve established that whiskey is Fucking Gay,
waddabout whiskey getting a crush on dex… with his soft hair and freckles and secret shy smile that he tries to hide but is actually adorable……..
dex having not one but TWO chill assholes to deal with RIP poindexterbut Whiskey isn’t shy about what he wants and let’s Dex know by giving him a look over and a wink and resumes his chill
RIP IN FUCKING PIECES. nursey not so subtlely fumes from where he’s sitting next to dex, scoots closer. dex is already red and flustered, looks over at nursey, who is now Very Close and Looking at him. looks away, even MORE red and flustered.
whiskey and nursey passive aggressively flirting with dex around each other, except whiskey is cool about it while nursey clumsily stumbles over his words, and his feet, and dex’s feet honestly how is he an ncaa athlete.but let’s not forget that nursey is the clumsy one! except now he’s doing this shit on purpose. always bumping into whiskey and spilling things on him and always going “oops” with the most outrageous deadpan look on his face and meanwhile whiskey just tries to outchill him with breakfast/lunch/dinner dripping from his hair
oh fuck i didnt even think about nursey spilling stuff on whiskey lmao thank u.
geez these boys needa calm down, i dont wanna assume anything about the taddies positions but i dont think whiskey and nursey will be on the ice together enough to Have Problems there. but bitty or r&h will probably confront them about why theyre so salty anyway. team bond and such.
nursey avoids the question, then decides he has a uhh paper to finish. whiskey straight up starts on how nursey needs to chill, he’s not dex’s fucking keeper.
and thats when they realize……. that whiskey and nursey are Fighting over a Boy…… like fucking high school students…. r&h dont know whether to laugh or do the Captainly thing and have a stern talk about maturity and communication. so they do both. at the same time.
gospel around his fingers
Dex slams the door shut and presses against the wood, leaning his head back and sucking in a deep breath. He stares blindly up at the ceiling and–
“Nurse, I dare you to kiss the prettiest person in the room. Not counting me.” Lardo pretends to flip a lock of hair over her shoulder. “We all know I’d smoke you bitches,” she adds, grinning. Her teeth flash in the low lighting, and she knocks back the last of her drink as the gather group lets out joking boos.
They all “ooh” at Nursey as he raises a challenging eyebrow and smirks at Lardo. He makes a show of looking around the room, leering slightly at the other players of spin the bottle – Holster, Dex, Tango, Ollie, Wicks, and a few members of the volleyball and soccer teams. Bitty is grinning from his spot on the floor next to Lardo and Dex, watching as Nursey catches the eye of each person.
“Dex!” The memory is abruptly interrupted as Chowder’s voice comes from beyond the door. “Come on, man!” Dex tries to straighten up, but his legs refuse to work. He sinks down to the floor, back still pressed against the door, trying to suck in deep breaths of air. He drops his head between his knees, squeezing his eyes shut and–
How do you think Nursey finds out that Dex isn’t straight, and just how unchill is he about this discovery?
OK I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENED SO I’M JUST
GONNA PICK MY FAVE AT THE MOMENT
i really love the idea that when cool, calm, collected whiskey joins the group nursery is like hell yeah this is my boy. we will Chill™. but also he can help me piss off dex
because dex is cute when he’s mad and his face goes all redbecause dex is the worst and needs to learn how to Chill. but then when nursery tries to find whiskey he finds him with. dex. and they’re both just. Chilling™. they’re sitting outside under a tree doing homework together and talking softly and sharing laughs and nursery finally loses his (carefully constructed) chill
