monaboyd_monthMorning, everyone! Today's my day at the helm, and there will be fic later, but! While work is keeping me from barraging you with my usual sort of spam, I wasn't going to let an opportunity like this one pass by without a little bit of nonsense. So, what do you say we ...
… spend the day with Billy and Dominic?
SAY GOOD MORNING, OTP. And oh, what a morning it is.
Well into his first coffee, Billy's making his way around town looking for more.
At the same time, a certain someone else isn't sure it's morning at all, and even if it is, fuck that noise omg; there's no reason to be up before noon.
Undeterred, one of our heroes finds his second cup and is warmly welcomed by others wanting his attention.
Meanwhile, Captain Irritablepants has moved from room service breakfast to something a little better for him, working hard to ignore the stares and mindless chatter of … anyone else in the world, frankly.
But eventually he recovers and joins his best mate, and the world moves properly on its axis again. At least as long as the coffee keeps coming.
Properly nourished, the OTP checks its schedule and discovers it's TIME FOR SOME REFRESHING WASTES OF NO MONEY AND SEVERAL HOURS.
There's wandering around catching free swag, and then there's making an art form of it. It takes time and talent to do this, and these two have both in spades.
If they can stick it in their eyes, ears, nose, or mouth, it's probably up for grabs. Sticking things in other places is a subject for another time.
Billy has either far too many extended relatives or far too much storage space, and he's not telling which.
He's also not sharing the free food, for which Dominic has every intention of punishing him with a thousand-yard pout of GIMME.
I was going to make some ridiculous joke or pull some pun out of nowhere here, but really the point is OMG HOW DOES ONE LOOK SO HOT WHILE SHOPPING HOW. Especially when one is this guy. The answer can be found in my pants. And probably his, too.
Sometimes one needs to do the shopping with one's brother instead of one's BFF. You know, to make sure everything purchased is tasteful. For relative degrees of tasteful, anyway; I mean, these two are brothers with, em, similar styles on occasion. o.o
Just kidding, Matt. You're fantastic, call me, kiss kiss.
And just when you think maybe they really can't manage tasteful in the same room together, they suddenly do. What a complete delight these photos were, even the ones in which they were mugging or vamping. Oh, OTP. You're delightful. And hot. Did I mention that bit?
ALSO, FABULOUS. *hip bump*
NOT QUITE AS FABULOUS, BUT B+ FOR EFFORT. *hairflip*
This is an entirely acceptable free swag attack in my book; it's canon that Billy has never met a pair of sunglasses he didn't love or couldn't lose, so the more he gets stashed away, the better. And if he could run around picking them up while wearing this shirt all the time, that would be great, thanks. *clap clap*
When it comes to free swag, the many choices can make a man a little bit off his head.
Looooook at them, all gorgeous and happy and primed and ready to make off with everything not nailed down. I'm so proud. *hand to breast*
WHAT IS YOUR FACE I DON'T EVEN, BOYD. :D In other news, having seen this picture of Billy, the other members of Beecake are still pissing themselves laughing occasionally even these months later.
Sometimes one just can't be judgy, so whatever you want to do with that, it's fine by me, Dominic. Provided you don't give it to Billy, because then we will have to have Words.
Please see above re: sunglasses. Though that doesn't excuse you, Dominic. I'm prepared to forgive you, though, because I'm just that nice. <3
And now we break for lunch. It's important to keep fed and watered in these busy times.
Luckily, these guys have lots of practice nom nomming their way through life. :D
Sometimes the occasion calls for a stand-up mini meal, during which one BFF bitches while the other stuffs his face with anything carbohydrate-related he can reach until the cameras come out and it's time to make a break for the next event of the day.
The whole family would soon come to regret introducing Dominic to funnel cake, but for the moment his enthusiasm was amusing.
Did your heart pop out of your chest when these pictures came out? Oh, good, it wasn't just me.
In truth, Dominic's become such an expert at multitasking nosh-style, he's schooled Billy on it, too. To everyone's amusement, and to the accompanying dulcet tones of my dolphin noises.
Mind you, all that deliciousness can make a man sleepy, and being a good friend, Dominic finds just the right place for Billy to conk out for a bit and nap the fried fish away a bit before it's time for MORE HIJINKS.
Even the laziest men on the planet have moments of Sportitude every so often, and Billy and Dominic can play the athlete when they want to. Or at least until they injure themselves or others, or dinner's ready.
Wax on, wax off, everybody. It's time to hit the waves with the besties.
I usually spam photos of Dominic being silly and foofy while he plays footie, but I love this picture, too, and love even more his determination to muck around and play his beautiful game no matter where he is in the world. It's lovely.
And then there's the man who will try almost anything once (as long as it doesn't involve heights, and even then things are negotiable) and look like a fuzzy toy doing it. I've said before that I'm really glad they had a girl there who knew what she was doing, sharing with them how to do it, but from the looks on all their ridiculous faces it would seem that all of them, and Billy especially, would just throw themselves down snowy hills for the merry hell of it. N'awww.
Not that it's all about loud and wild and crazy. Sometimes one can get in touch with nature more intimately and gently, with the help of a little birdie friend to sit so sweetly on one's shoulder.
Or, you know, one that could EAT YOUR FACE. o.o
Bend it like … well, like you, Dom. *chinhands*
MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS. Oh my god. I'll be over here rolling around in the joy this little picture gives me. TINY TINY DUCKLINGS. And the big duck quacking away behind them. :D
All the stress of a typical day can make a man cranky, and that's why our heroes make a cute habit of walking it out, yo, before they can pump some iron, burn some energy, and then smish against each other in lovely exhaustion. Wait, I used my inside voice for that last bit, never mind.
He rarely seems happier than when he's around water, amirite? It's adorable. I'm so pleased he put this up a thousand years ago for us to see, because even though it's such a small thing, it's a little gift, a little open door to something that clearly thrills him to bits. <3
Brave little boaters! I suppose it would be impolite to wonder why Christine is the only person who doesn't at all look like she's about to lose her last three meals. OH, BOYS.
*presented without comment*
OKAY, THAT'S A LIE. Oh my goodness, Dominic, look at you. :D The next shot was no doubt him being taken down and thumped into the size of a crouton, but this one's pretty adorbs, too.
Billy meanwhile stays on the sidelines, kthx. On the sidelines and in appropriate apparel. o.o
You knew this was coming. I cannot say enough about this picture, but because I have already said SO VERY MUCH, I'll just repeat the most important bit to me: you can go anywhere you want in your head with this shot, but odds are good you'll come back to that tension behind Elijah and in front of Astin, that thread of it leading hotly from Billy to the chill of Dominic working so hard to not acknowledge it. It's *amazing* on every level, from basic photograph of awesome to Inspiration Galore.
Even before he went ziplining or whatever the hell Jack Osbourne convinced him might be amusing to do, Billy had the helmet on; no doubt he was only protecting himself from all that rambling above.
Sometimes it's just safe to watch professional athletes do their thing, while the professional drinkers and eaters get about doing theirs. <3
And speaking of eating, isn't it time for another nibble?
By now Dominic's usually up for some more caffeine, though he'll take whatever you've got handy.
The worst possible dinner Billy could get his hands on would be a liquid one, which is why Dominic clearly dared him to do so right before he felt the ambush coming. The choice of berries in the slushie mix wasn't part of the dare, but might as well have been.
No. It's too much. I just can't. *wavyhands* You get down with your sushi, Dominic. You just get down. WHILE I CONTINUE TO DIE SLOWLY FROM LAUGHTER TEN YEARS ON.
The laughter was soon to stop after Billy discovered Elijah had left something unspeakable and brown in the sink under the dinner dishes.
Billy would have his revenge, even if took nine espressos and Dominic's best moves later to accompish it.
Man cannot live on foodstuffs alone, however; sometimes man wants a night out on the town, and who are we stop him? Them. Whatever.
First comes the all-important primping. The nails need to be in good shape before they can dig nicely into flesh later. I did the inside voice thing again, didn't I.
BILLY SUPPORTS WHERE THIS IS GOING AND IS ALREADY DISROBING IN ANTICIPATION.
He's just going to have to cool his jets, however, because now is the time for some more vamping, thanks, and Dominic's gonna get us started on that.
Billy is only as impressed with this ideas as he has to be. Especially because he looks amazing and he knows it. *chinhands*
Sometimes you need to take advantage of everyone's dressed-up schedules and throw down with a party. EVERYBODY SUPPORTS THIS.
Other times the party's a little bit less well-dressed, and showing a little of the roughened edges of the hours still to come. Please see exhibit A over there, smoking up like he needs the extra push in any direction, mmm.
Filthy habit, that one, and yet. AND YET. *steeplefingers*
ANYWAY. Date night! Making it count in the middle there is Captain Greedypants, happy to paw everything and everyone he can, to Billy's resigned amusement, Elijah's giggly approval, and MY COMPLETE DELIGHT.
Speaking of delight. Some evenings have no choice but to end with a song or six, delivered by a voice wrecked and healed over and over again in the same tune. This is a truly gorgeous picture of a truly gorgeous man. No joke to tell, no pun to make, only a wonder to behold.
DOMINIC'S HAD ENOUGH OF THAT PURPLE PROSE, THOUGH, OKAY, SO NOW LET'S TEAR THIS SHIT UP.
To a point, anyway. He knows these things are sometimes best left to the semi-pros.
The evening starts to wind down nicely, almost as quickly and easily as does Billy. Dominic would like to say that just between you and him, advantage will be taken.
Just as soon as he gets this last bottle and makes a few quick phone calls.
Meanwhile, Billy's found his second wind and is ready to do some damage in a big way. Just between you and him, advantage has already been taken.
Not that anyone's losing this game, though. Epic eyefuck staredown for the ultimate and overwhelming win. <33333
Of course, one's gotta get somewhere nice and private and preferably fluffy before anybody's taking anything, much less advantage.
Dominic waits both the rest of the crowd and Billy out, SO READY OMG for shenanigans or even, you know, at this point a nap or something, unaware that Billy's wandered off and gotten lost, ending up in the wrong hotel room.
DAMMIT BILLY I GIVE YOU ONE THING TO DO.
Once he'd yanked Billy back to the right place again, Dominic attempted to get creative with a map to make sure Billy always found his way home, but things got … messy somehow. For some reason. No one knows for sure.
Luckily, there would always be a new day to try again, and better, and even more luckily, Billy's up with the dawn and ready for it.
He probably shouldn't hold his breath waiting for it to begin, though. <3
… spend the day with Billy and Dominic?
SAY GOOD MORNING, OTP. And oh, what a morning it is.
