(warning: character death should also probably warn for, errr, wtf-ery?!)
---------
Stand Up Straight
Right from the very beginning, Mike is always too something for Paul.
Too young Too east coast Too eager Too hidden inside his own shadows
Too… Too…
Too smart.
The night of their first fuck, Mike’s been at Graceland a couple of months. Enough time for a nickname to have stuck but not enough that the dishes aren’t still his sole responsibility.
The house has emptied out, a rare and echoing kind of silence split only by the sound of them.
Mike and Paul Levi and Briggs
They drink beer and order pizza, and when the television is switched to live coverage of a football game being played on the other side of the country, Paul rolls his eyes at the growing pile of stereotypes they’ve managed to cover.
Mike’s shit-eating grin is as casual as the shrug that accompanies it.
Paul shakes his head in reply as he swallows; a long, slow pull at the neck of his beer. Dares himself not to blink.

OH MY WHAT DID YOU DO.
you know i only prompt paul/mike and graceland usually because i want to prompt it but i actually NEVER think someone's going to fill it and THEN YOU CAME AND YOU DID THIS WHY WOULD YOU, THO.
my heart my poor poor heart
the way you break down the lines and write these boys and briggs who thinks he should be so much wiser than he ends up, getting involved in this thing with mike he knows will end up shitty and he still does it even when he thinks he knows better, and mike, baby mike with his shit eating grin, when briggs fucks mike, mike fucks him right back.

When I came here to post, I saw that you'd only minutes before replied to Streussal, telling her to write it, and so I had a moment of, DON'T POST THIS (which was also brought on by the fact that it's something I've never written before).
But then I thought, eff it, it's written now, just post the damn thing. So I did.
I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT. EVEN THOUGH YOU HATE ME NOW! LOL. And, more to the point, I'M SO FREAKING GLAD IT SEEMS TO HAVE MADE SENSE!! Because it was a close run thing there for a while, haha!! Basically, though, your reply tells me that what I wanted to say is what I said so, PHEW!
Thank you, thank you!
As for Graceland itself, I have such an odd relationship with this stupid stupid show!! It's basically the best piece of crack I've encountered in FOREVER and I LOVE IT SO! And I'm so glad that you prompted it because I was in desperate need of inspiration and it was seriously the only fandom from all the prompts on your ficathon that I'm into! LIFE IS HARD, YO!

oh thank god that me telling streussal to write it didn't stop you from posting this because it was GORGEOUS and i'm always okay with multiple prompt fills, tho it happens rarely.
now i shall run off to prompt more graceland so you can write and also tell me what to prompt and i'll do it or prompt things you like, do things, love things, etc, etc. ♥
