The Gravitas Never Fails


"I don't believe it. I'm having a slumber party."

"Don't be ridiculous, Jon. This is not a slumber party."

"Sure it is. You're sleeping at my house, we've made popcorn, and we're curled up in front of the TV talking about the boys we like. We might as well just start doing each other's hair and get it over with."

"Fine," huffed Stephen. "Call it what you want. But it's a very manly slumber party. Now shut up, he's back!"

Jon shut up.

On the screen, Brian said various Important Things in a Serious Newsy Voice. Stephen let out a dreamy sigh.

(Jon still felt a little ridiculous for the flutters that voice induced in his chest cavity, but at least he wasn't the only one.)

The next time NBC cut to commercial, Stephen said, "So, as long as this is a manly slumber party, you want to build a pillow fort?"

Jon grinned. "Sure. Why not."

(Besides, judging by the gleam in Stephen's eyes, the couch was already as good as dismantled.)

"So, as long as this is a manly slumber party, you want to build a pillow fort?"

If I was in Jon's place, Stephen would have to build the fort without me. I would be thoroughly occupied with the task of trying to pick myself up from the floor while laughing hysterically.

*insert obligatory swooning over Brian*

I second the love of the pillow fort line...and pillow forts in general. They're even more fun now than they were when we were younger! http://xkcd.com/219/

Oh, xkcd. Once again, you speak to my soul.

:D

*also swoons over Brian*

I simply adore this. So cute. :D

And they hung a "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" sign at the front.

I miss pillow/blanket forts! Even though I accidentally tore the couch that one time...

[ptahrrific]

They totally did :D

But it was worth it, yes?

::shivers at the thought of Jon brushing and running his fingers through Stephen's hair:: What? I have a sensitive scalp? shut up.

Right, back to swooning over adorableness ^_^ Manly slumber party FTW! Does Stephen have footie pajamas with a trapdoor? Does Jon need curlers to get that gorgeous wave just so? Does BriWi show up outside in a leather jacket to seranade them? (suddenly this has turned into the slumber party from Grease in my head)

Stephen in footie pajamas = wonderful.

And, oh man, I know Jon's hair is naturally wavy, but the idea of the man in curlers is hilarious.
