general open post. Leave a prompt ( picture, text, opener, anything-- ) or a blank comment and I'll get back to you! here'ssomeprompts if you want. also my muselist. how lazy am i that i just copy and pasted this from adrien's open post
[ nope. nope. his expression brightens up a tad at that, until—
—he scrunches his nose somewhat, trying to make his best impression of a face that is Totally In Pain except he can't quite do that when his smile won't settle down.
hmm. fake cough. fake cough. ]
I don't think so. I'm definitely still feeling the... whatever I have. [ ... ] Achoo.
That's what I thought. [ atta boy. that does make him chuckle as he starts the car. ] Though you shouldn't flatter me, Adrien. You know we can't make a habit out of this.
[ it's a disappointing thought for both of them - with both of their schedules and gabriel's looming presence, taking time out of their days for leisure can be difficult. "best" big brother or not, he's still bound by his own duties and responsibilities.
but his tone doesn't make it sound like too dire of a situation, switching gears back to positivity. ]
...But that doesn't mean we can't have our cheat days, of course.
[ more reasons steven is the best, honestly. he can be a good role model and Responsible without making adrien feel guilty or overwhelmed. and he sees the reason, of course; he's more than aware of abiding by the schedule... especially when he's already kind of stretching it by being chat noir sometimes.
and also running off to watch movies with plagg but that's... no one needs to know about that.
either way, adrien just feels like steven gets things, and it helps. he can't quite imagine getting through things quite as well without him. ]
I know, I know. Just this once. It's a special occasion, since you're back. [ sheepishly, as he leans back a little. but then he jumps slightly, as if his seat suddenly caught fire.
really he's just remembering something. that is: ] ... I forgot to say welcome home!
And due to it being a special occasion, I'll let you choose where we go. Paris is at our fingertips, little brother.
[ as long as it's rated TV-G of course, THIS IS CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING. his little jump has him quirking a curious eyebrow, but his smile remains steadfast. ]
[ man, lame. who wants to go somewhere tv-g? adrien's smile grows at the fact he gets to pick, however, and the wheels in his head are obviously turning as he runs through places in his mind.
... ah— ]
Disneyland.
[ PINNACLE OF MATURITY. but look. disneyland paris. it's a cheat day. it's there.
and he's never gone. plus he just wants to put mickey mouse ears on steven let's be real here. ]
[ somehow he wasn't expecting that, mostly due to the fact that he's never been either holy shit. his life when he was adrien's age was fairly similar to how adrien's is right now, which meant that he was the guinea pig for gabriel's No Fun Allowed policy.
being an adult now means he has a lot more flexibility, but he's far past the age where going to disneyland is a priority. but if his little brother wants to go... well, maybe he can enjoy himself, too. his tone isn't in mockery, but in genuine, amused surprise. ]
All right, then - to Disneyland. [ and away they go! ] Should we bring dad a souvenir?
[ pfffft. okay, the sound that escapes adrien there probably isn't agreste approved, considering it's something like a laugh that he had to hold back. father wearing mickey mouse ears too... would be nice, but the probability is beyond zero.
he coughs a little, disguising that noise. he didn't expect steven to judge him for his probably-ten-year-old tastes, but the approval of the plan is nice anyway, and gets the excitement bubbling up like he is ten years old. ]
If we do, you guys can match. [ playing along with that joke, as he brings both hands up to his head to mimic the mickey mouse look. ] Both of you, with ears... You are gonna wear the ears, right?
[ his adorable little bro... as long as he's smiling an happy, steven wouldn't ever dare to judge him. even if he's in his teens, adrien deserves to have some time be a kid. their dad doesn't seem to think so (and that's a big reason why steven finds himself arguing with him behind closed doors), so he'll take any opportunity he can to give adrien a respite from the burden of the family name.
he finds himself chuckling at both the mickey mouse ear visualization and adrien's own choked laughter. ]
[ it obviously wasn't a question that he was going to wear them, because adrien is a dork and probably gets Too Into Things.
he pretends to think about it anyway, as if this deal is life-changing and if he gives the wrong answer, his entire life comes tumbling down. but it isn't difficult at all—steven gives him these chances, adrien is always always grateful for them, and he lives them through to the fullest.
if he goes to disneyland and doesn't wear the ears, he's not getting the full experience. ]
Deal. [ tapping a finger idly against his chin. ] But I call the Mickey Mouse ones.
[ they'll take adorable selfies and steven will make it his phone background because that's what siblings do when they want to embarrass each other. ]
Fair enough. I'll make it work.
[ they're models - they make things work for a living. it's that kind of small talk that they make throughout the 46 minute drive (i google maps'd it, that's really how long the drive is), but once they're getting closer to the park gates, he remembers something. ]
Check the trunk before we park. I brought you back a souvenier or two. [ it's more than two. ]
[ steven probably will make it work. curse these agreste genes and their ridiculously photogenic consequences!! how is adrien supposed to have a funny picture of steven in minnie mouse ears for blackmail if he rocks the bow anyway???
nah, there wasn't going to be any blackmail, but he'll !!! over the phone background stuff anyway.
much like he's !!!ing over the mention of souvenirs. then he settles, somewhat, and: ]
... Did you go overboard again?
[ it's a question with a slight undertone of excitement. steven always brings back Good Things, but...
... sometimes steven is very giving. and sometimes adrien is amazed at how many slam dunks his brother can manage in the gift-giving department. ]
[ the bow can be debonair as hell, okay. he's looking forward to seeing how it looks on both of them, but for now he's humming. ]
Define "overboard".
[ he didn't go crazy, promise! but there's plenty of stuff inside of the bags he'll find there - snacks, some shounen jump volumes, a figma or two of some ultimate mecha strike iii characters, weiss schwartz cards of whatever popular anime he likes... the works. he might not be into that nerdy stuff himself, but he pays enough attention to know what his brother's real interests are. ]
[ his slow, playful response. but okay, he'll check, and—
—insert the fangirl gasp, as his weeb self is sparkling. it's like christmas. except christmas is probably just as shitty as his birthday when steven isn't around so smh. ]
All of this's... Wait, is that—
[ excuse him as he struggles and tries to bring one of those figma boxes up close, okay, he wants to sparkle with it right here.
gosh, it is what he thought it was. it's the cat mecha. he's got the box with #hismain outstretched and held upwards like he's link and he's just opened a treasure chest, every single nerd-gene and kid-gene and i-love-steven-gene in his body on overdrive. ]
[ yet another tally for the awesome older brother counter? yes please. he probably shouldn't be enabling his teenage brother's inevitably awful weeaboo phase - next thing you know, he'll be running around the streets of paris in cosplay...
OH WAIT
but he doesn't know that, so it's all good. he'll get out of the car to really admire his reaction, his smile soft and pleased. ]
I had to do a little research to get the right one, but I'm glad I was on the mark.
[ fuck man, he doesn't know shit about robots. thank god google exists. ]
[ "dear brother, i have a confession... i got really into my animes, and now i am living one. please get me a sword. preferably a zanpakuto. kisame from naruto's is also acceptable. if you cannot do that, kirito from sword art online. thank you. -love adrien"
except no not today. adrien's still on the nerd high. ]
I'm really wondering what you put into Google.
[ the thought of steven researching this kind of stuff is just really funny...
but okay, adrien's putting the figma carefully back before going through the bags with his tongue peeking out of the side of his mouth. he's super focused on this stuff. the weeaboo treasure trove, and then disneyland... today was great.
also all these snacks.... ]
It's gonna be hard not to eat these all at once...
[ please no sao you're better than that adrien please ]
And you'll keep wondering.
[ no peeking into his phone's recent search history, you hear? "anime video game robots" and variations of the like are not what he wants people to be talking about.
with the car parked, he'll lean on the open trunk as he watches him rummage through the bags. come to think of it, he's a little hungry... so he'll swipe a matcha kit kat from the bag. he'll share, of course. ]
You're not little anymore - I take no responsibility for your inevitable sickness if you don't pace yourself.
but aw man, no details about steven's weird search history, huh... fortunately he's not marinette so he's not a dirty phone stealer, and therefore his shame is safe, but... oh well. he'll offer steven an amused smile at both that comment and the kit kat swiping, at least.
adrien's usually good at controlling himself without the fact he now has an endless-pit-for-a-stomach companion, so snack disaster is not happening in the near future.
... maybe. he stops his searching, satisfied, crossing his arms behind his back. ]
It looks like I have help, so I think I'll avoid the stomach-ache.
[ steven you snack thief. also plagg. ]
But, um... All of this's great, Steven. No... more than great. [ !! ] Thank you so much!
[ you can get bakuzan or something cooler just no anime that involves two years of semen glopping into people he won't have any of it
but he'll eat his share with a smile, offering the other half to adrien. he knows he's done well - if he can keep it up, it'll be a day well spent with his little brother happy. ]
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. [ but all of that swag will stay in the trunk, for now. once adrien is done looking, he'll shut it and lock up. ] Now... let's see what this park has in store for us.
