Pietro, thank you so much!

-

These look fantastic! I haven't read either of them yet- I'm going to start with Bronski over the weekend.

-

My whole bed is covered in glitter, btw. And my hands. If anyone asks, I'm just going to tell them that I'm America made flesh and on my birthday, I sweat/bleed red white and blue.

-

Card's on my wall, too. [attatched picture of his wall, a glittery hand, palm out, next to the tacked up card.]

No if anyone asks just start singing that song from Grease 2 "Let's Do It For Our Country". Anyone who doesn't understand is WRONG.

I haven't read them yet either. Seems like bad form to read a book you got for someone else before they do? IDEK. They seemed interesting though, from reviews!

[om_patriot]

Ha, I actually don't understand. I'll search for it on Google tonight.
-
I wouldn't read a book that I got someone as a gift first either. What if you accidentally cracked the spine or bent the cover? But feel free to borrow- I got two for Bigs as well, one by one of the soldiers show in The Pacific, if you've seen it, and one about queer soldiers in WW2.
-
It looks like you all have my number.
-
Also, I don't know what happened or where this came from, but at one point tonight, I nearly kissed Tony.
-
I don't know what happened, but there were fireworks and he just. Does incredibly nice things like it's nothing and you can't tell me it's just because money doesn't mean the same thing to him as it does non-billionaires, and I just. I don't know.
-
I don't even know.

[om_quicksilver]

Oooh can I borrow those ones too? WHEN YOU'RE DONE I MEAN. Obviously >.>

Also yeah okay I mean. I am sort of surprised about Tony but also not because come on you were super stressed about how he'd react to you.

Also also fireworks like of course Steve Rogers wanted to kiss someone because fireworks oh god.

Anyhow never fear there will be other opportunities go for it next time okay bb? :DDDDDDD

[om_patriot]

I don't even know if I should. Or if I even really want to or if it was just the moment. But I've wanted to before.
-
It wasn't just the fireworks, but that display? He did that. For me. Because I told him in passing this story about how when I was a kid, I would pretend the fireworks were all for me because it was my birthday.
-
And just. Without a second thought, he goes and fulfills some stupid childhood dream as if it's nothing, as if anyone would do it.
-
He's can just be so damn thoughtful and kind sometimes, you want to shake him, or kiss him. or both. And you know he only does it for the sake of doing it, because he shakes off any thanks. I think he's honestly surprised when people thank him for these things.
-
I don't want to screw things up, though, and I don't even know if I'm dating Lucrezia or what's going on there.
-
I'm sorry, I'm sending you so many texts so quickly.

[om_quicksilver]

1. Look I know you like Lucrezia but don't sweat that okay.

2. Just kiss him okay. Tony fucking needs to be kissed. And you're right and he's amazing and I tried to hate him for being rich but that shit makes it impossible so I feel you,

3. Maybe also shake him a little because Tony also needs to be shaken.

4. But those fireworks were awesome and that's super romantic even if he doesn't realize/admit it? IDEK maybe not but come on.

5. No such thing as 'too quickly' Steve this is me here.

6. Also really I mean it about Grease 2. >.>

7. Did I mention he needs kissed? He does. Hard.

[om_quicksilver]

Uh also DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage sustained from watching scenes from Grease 2. >.>

[om_patriot]

That's foreboding.
-
And of course, you can borrow any you'd like. :)
