Summary
She can hear Beth’s smile through the crackle of static; Beth must be going through the rough part of the Corridor where the service is spotty. “Alright, see you soon! I just gotta stop at home and then I’ll be on my way. Love ya to death!”
Beth hangs up before Jay can respond. Probably for the best; she never knows what to say when Beth tells her that. She never knows how to answer without betraying the emotion that quivers in her chest, viscous and sweet like molasses and so, so raw where it intersects with the knowledge that no one, not even her best friend Beth, will ever love her as the woman she so desperately wants to be.

Summary
“I’m not gay,” says Joel quietly, like he’s questioning himself. Or Bdubs is reading too much into it, that’s a possibility as well.
Bdubs suppresses the laughter that threatens to bubble in his chest. “You're not gay,” he repeats, unable to mask his disbelief. “I got news for ya, buddy, straight guys don't look at me like that.”
An affronted noise echoes in the darkness. “Look at you like what?”
“Like they want to spread me out on their bedsheets and devour me like a three-course meal,” Bdubs answers, amused.

I hope you know that I will not speak at your funeral. I will, however, use your life insurance to cater, and we will have spinach ravioli while we laugh at the way you brought about your own demise.

Summary
It’s a nice hotel room, certainly. Joel glances into the bathroom, which is pretty spacious for a hotel room, but freezes when Bdubs calls back to him. “Joel? We have a problem.”
Joel hesitantly steps out of the bathroom, his suitcase rolling along behind him, and he stops when he sees the bed.
Bed. Singular. Only one.
“Blummin’ heck—”

Summary
“I like beating Bdubs up.”
Bdubs turns back to him, some of the gleam returning to his gaze. “Yeah, well I’m gonna hand you your lunch! I’m gonna shake you down for your pocket change! I’m gonna– I’m gonna—”
“Are you gonna come up with a better threat?” Joel goads. He just needs to keep Bdubs’ attention on him. Everyone else can focus on Etho, as they probably should be considering it’s his birthday, but Bdubs… Bdubs should always be looking at Joel.
[Maybe he’s too young yet to name the warm feeling that grows in his chest when he looks at Bdubs. To give voice to the ugly, caustic part of him that hates the way Bdubs looks at Etho, and thinks about Etho, and talks about Etho– all the time, Etho this, Etho that. He chews on it like sunflower seeds, trying to swallow the bitterness with his cherry soda. He’s too young. But soon.]

Summary
Bdubs swallows. “You know how he likes horses?”
Joel’s eyes narrow. “No,” he says sharply, and Bdubs knows he’s not answering the question. He’s answering what Bdubs isn’t saying.
“Please, Joel?” Bdubs requests. “He’ll hate it so much. It’ll be so funny.”
“I am not coming to one of your blummin’ horse shows,” Joel says stoutly. “You couldn’t pay me.”

And darling, I was never prepared for a whirlwind romance. But I held you while I had you, when you were all I needed.
