“I don’t know what you’re talking about, ‘Con Air’ is a fantastic movie.” Brendon told Aleks, they’d been arguing about what to watch, and Brendon was insistent on the 90’s action film.
“It’s a Nick Cage movie, Brendon.” Aleks replied.
“What’s wrong with Nick Cage!” Came his boyfriend’s protest, Aleks sighed and rolled his eyes.
“Allow me to demonstrate,” He cleared his throat loudly, “AAAAGH! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEEEEEEEEEEEES!” He cried dramatically, Brendon frowned.
“Okay, I’ll give you that one.” He said, “But what about The Sorcerer's Apprentice?”
“...Do you mean to tell me that you honestly thought his acting was good in that?” Aleks deadpanned.
“Do you mean to tell me you didn’t?” Brendon challenged, Aleks nodded.
“Yes, I do, actually.” He answered, Brendon shook his head in disappointment.
“And here I thought we had something…”
“Oh my-”
“No, no, it’s fine, it’s just… I gotta say what’s on my mind.”
“Oh my god, no-” Brendon shushed Vicky.
“Something about us doesn't seem right these days, life just… keeps getting in the way.”
“Please, stop.” Aleks whined.
“Whenever we try, somehow the plan Is always-”
“Brendon.”
“-Rearranged. It's so hard to say, but I've gotta do what's best for me,” Brendon took Aleks’ hands dramatically in his own, “You'll be okay…”
“Brendon, I’m warning-”
“I've got to move on and be who I am!” He sang, jumping up on his bed, he grabbed a comb and began to use it as a microphone. “I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand!” The door burst open as Kelli and Preston came back from getting snacks.
“We might find our place in this world someday!” Kelli added, jumping onto the bed with him, Aleks put his head in his hands as Vicky pretended to cry.
“But at least for now-!” Brendon sang, pausing dramatically, Kelli took his hand as they finished their impromptu duet, “I’ve gotta go my own way.”
“Are you two done now?” Aleks asked, Kelli and Brendon looked to each other, then nodded and sat down. Preston, who was still standing in the doorway, blinked a few times in confusion before speaking.
“What… what just happened?” He asked, Jackie gave him a pat on the shoulder.
“High School Musical, that’s what just happened.” She told him, he blinked a few more times before shaking his head, deciding it wasn’t worth it, and sitting on the floor next to Vicky.
“So, what movie are we watching first?” Preston asked.
“Brendon wants to watch Con Air, and Vicky and I want to watch the new Ghostbusters.” Jackie told him.
“Oh, I haven’t seen that yet!” Kelli exclaimed, Vicky smiled.
“Then this would be an excellent chance to do so, wouldn’t it?” She suggested, “Preston, what do you want to watch?” Preston looked between Kelli and Vicky and Brendon knew he’d lost. Of course Vicky would know Preston would pick what Kelli wanted, he thought.
