You’d be the one next to my penguin form then

The little yapper



Alex:

I do yap that is true



George:

It’s one of my favourite things, when you yap at me about your day



Alex:

Awww, georgie



george:

And lando can be the little baby one



Alex:

I do feel oddly maternal towards lando sometimes

He’s just so odd sometimes that i want to wrap him in a blanket and smother him



George:

Someone had to keep him from dying when we were younger

He’s always been the think later, do now type



Alex:

I wouldnt have changed any of that for the world though

I love you both to bits, i truly do

I don’t know where i’d be without you, genuinely

I’d be so sad and lost



George:

Aww don’t get all sappy on me alex

Especially not at an aquarium, looking at penguins

But i feel the same lex, i truly do

Even if i have an odd way of showing it



Alex:

Its the Christmas spirit, Georgie!!

It makes me vulnerable



George:

You can say that again

Listen lex, i’m very sorry if i’ve been reading these past few weeks wrong but i-

 

Lando:

MISTLETOE!!



Alex:

Lando, what the fuck??



Charles:

Haha

George:

Ah, shit



Daniel:

Well thems the rules

Alex:

Are you sure about this Georgie?

We can tell them to piss off



George:

Ive never been sure about anything

But i think i should take a page out of lando’s book for this one

 

Photo.png

(George and Alex, kissing. Lando’s on his tiptoes, holding the mistletoe above their heads and grinning. Charles and Max are in the background clapping and grinning, and Oscar is just staring at Lando, while Logan gives him a knowing look)



Daniel:

I’m going to faint

This is so cute



Carlos:

I’ll catch you, dont worry



Alex:

Seriously, Lando??



Lando:

You guys were being all sappy!!

I had to do something

And don’t hate on me, you don’t seem that mad about it



Alex:

I'm not even surprised actually

You couldn’t have done it any sooner, could you??



Lando:

My brain works in mysterious ways



George: (whispering to alex)

Can we talk later, lex?

I want to know if what im feeling is just me



Alex:

Ofcourse

When we get home?



George:

I’d love that



Alex:

For now, let’s enjoy the chaos



George:

And find a way to get lando back



Alex:

Oh absolutely

I love him to bits but that was uncalled for



George:

We did kind of need it though



Alex:

Hush

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊



Lewis:

Everyone, before we start,

I want to express my gratitude to Yuki, for letting us all have food here today

So, to yuki!

 

(various ‘to yuki!’ and ‘thank you yuki!’)



Yuki:

LETS EATT!!!

 



Liam:

Bro, this tastes so good

I’d actually sell my left kidney to taste yuki’s food for the first time again



Isack:

I feel my soul leaving my body

This tastes so good



Logan:

Oscar, try this sushi

It tastes just like that one place we went to in florida



Oscar:

Holy shit it does!!

That place was so good, bro



Carlos:

Lando.

What are you eating



Lando: (muffled)

Spring rolls…?



Carlos:

How many?



Lando:

1… 2… (im too lazy to write every number)

17!!



Carlos:

Mate.

That is not healthy



Lando:

There's vegetables in these!!



Carlos:

Lando, try this sushi

See? It has no fish in it!



lando:

ITS NEAR A FISH



George:

Remember last year when Lando nearly punched a chippy owner because his chips were too close to the fish fryer??



Oscar:

Oh my god yes

I forgot about that



Carlos:

Lando, just try it

You need to mature



Lando:

I dont wanna mature

I’m perfectly happy where i am



Carlos:

Lando

You are almost 22 years old. You need to try!



Lando:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Carlos:

YES. IT’S TIME, LANDO. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO EAT SUSHI!

 

 

Lando:

AFTER VISITING THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY?!!?

who, by the way looked at me VERY SUSPICIOUSLY



Daniel:

Carlos, stop fighting a losing game

Lando’s too stubborn



Carlos:

I guess you’re right

I’ll find a way

One day



Lando:

Uhoh



₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊



Isack:

I LOST THE MISTLETOE

NOOOOOOOOOO



Liam:

Mate, who were you going to use it on??



Isack:

Franco and jack

Isack:

I think i left it in our apartment

Next to my charger



Liam:

Awww

There’s always next year, eh?



Isack:

Yes!!

I will start to scheme for then



₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊



Logan:

Dammit



Franco:

Logan:

I was ready to pull the damn twig out

Why did Charles have to join that convo at that time and stand inbetween them!!



Franco:

Oh well

Atleast we had one successful mistletoe



Logan:

Haha yeah

I’ll save it for next time

Or for the new years party



Franco:
