Tae nodded and then grinned, an idea occurring to him. "So I've been doing this thing where I've been helping people around town with stuff they need done--liked I helped Tiana with cabinets and I've helped fix a couple sinks and stuff, so if your mom ever needs help around the house or you need help helping her, you guys should call me. I'm trying to hone my skills so I can build my house, you know? Gotta start somewhere to achieve the dream."
Tae hoped Finn would call. He liked Finn's mom and he really was enjoying hanging out with his friend. He wanted to make it a more regular occurrence.
"Oh w-wow look at you go." Finn felt proud of his friend. It was amazing that Tae was doing all these nice things for other people. He didn't know if his mom needed anything around the house, but if she did he knew he'd ask Tae. Because Tae was a great friend and it was amazing he was doing these types of things. "Of course. Of course. I do-don't know if she needs anything but I'll be sure to ask her when I see her next."
Finn smiled at Tae. "If I ever get my-my own place someday too, I'd definitely ask you to fix it all up too." Not that he knew what he'd be doing after his dorm experience. But next school year he did want to live in an apartment or a house or something instead. It sounded nicer.

"Jingles, yes," said Nemo automatically, already feeling some of his tension released.
He should have talked to Finn so much sooner! His friend was bound to make him feel better... or at least, less guilty about everything?
"Everyone's so mad. And like, I get it. Or I get some of it, but at the same time, it kinda feels like everyone I know has turned against the town completely and I hate that. They're like 'Oh, the humans have always been terrible to us!' And I don't...think that's true?"
Finn hummed, leaning against Nemo a little, wanting to offer himself as a comfort in whatever way he could. "I do-do-don't think that's true either," Finn replied softly. He could understand the anger somewhat, and he knew all the stuff with Eboshi had been bad... but before that he didn't think there were years of bad for fairies. Or at least...he hoped not. He didn't want the town he'd grown up to be so harmful to anyone.
"I mean I'm no fairy b-b-b-but... I feel like overall there's b-b-been mostly respect until all that mess with Eboshi and stuff. B-B-But it's easy for people to get angry and twist things. I'm so-sorry." Finn squeezed Nemo's arm lightly.
bffs .... duh
Well duh. They're... there are no words. They are. They must. They're soulmates. Wanna be fucked up by something? Watch this fan edit and think of their soulmate-hood. dsfdfs. Instead of a OTP sort of thing i say OTS. One True Soulmate for me to be eternally emotionally damaged by.

Tae could remember feeling like nothing would ever get better when he was in secondary. He knew he wasn't much older now--just a few years--but those few years really had made a huge difference. Things didn't feel quite so big all the time and it was a lot easier to accept that things could always get better.
"Yeah," he said, kicking at a loose pebble on the path. "They really are so much better. Some things are the same, obviously, like my hyung not really wanting to be my friend like I kind of hoped he might, but he trusts me more, I think. So does my eomma. I know I'm pretty far out from making anyone really proud or anything, but it doesn't feel so far off these days."
Tae looked up at Finn. "How are things with your family? Are they glad you're back?"
Secondary really was a temporary torment for them wasn't it? It was nice to know that they could both move past the roughness of that. Finn always hoped for better things for himself and his friends. He tilted his head, considering his friend for a minute. "Aww I'm sure you're ma-making them p-proud. You've come so far already."
Finn was already beyond proud of Tae to see him how he was now. "Mmm y-yeah I think so. I've b-b-been going to mom's a lot when I don't have too much school stuff to do. And every other w-w-weekend I visit my dad in NTO. They seem p-pretty happy." It was still strange sometimes, visiting different places to see them, but he was growing more used to that.

Yeah. Nemo knew he could.
This was just probably gonna be a bit... random. To be honest, Nemo rarely ranted about politics or that sort of thing to Finn. When he was with Finn, he was calm and happy. The outside world rarely got in.
But this issue was hanging over Nemo like a dark rain cloud that just wouldn't clear.
"It's-- you know, the whole fairy crown stuff?" Nemo sighed. "It's really throwing the entire Hollow off."
"Ohhh." Finn had heard about the fairy crown plenty. He didn't think it was his place to have much of an opinion about it. He wasn't a fairy. Though it all seemed very intense to Finn. To steal a crown that was given to the town...and then it disappeared or something. That was pretty crazy.
"I guess p-people have some strong op-p-pinions about it all huh?" Finn asked softly. He had seen some of the twitter stuff, but he knew better than to put himself into that chaos. "Is it really overwhelming?"
⚠ Shang, please?

Nemo and Finn were having a quiet Friday night at the dorms, Nemo all snuggled up with Finn and Pannie. Was he supposed to be 'studying??' Sure! But he couldn't study. His brain was still whirling and this was the first quiet moment he'd had with Finn since getting back to Paris.
"Hey-- could I ask your opinion about something?"
Finn was enjoying their nice cozy time in the dorm, especially after the lovely time they'd had in Paris. It was good to just be together, and he was leaning his head a little against Nemo's shoulder. "Hmm? O-Oh. Of course. You c-can ask me anything you want."

Robbie honestly couldn't fathom what Finn was talking about. He was the most considerate roommate in the world, probably, always asking Robbie how he was doing and just being super sweet and gentle. It struck Robbie then, not for the first time but certainly the clearest it had ever been, that he was extremely lucky to have a roommate like Finn. Oftentimes he was so swept up in his own world, he didn't always appreciate the things he should.
"Nah," Robbie said. "You're a great roommate. Probably one of the best," he added, grinning at Finn.
It was funny really to think about how in Secondary Finn had thought Robbie was a rather intimidating person. Now that he knew him better, and now that they were roommates, he thought that past him was rather silly for the fears that he'd had. Robbie was really kind. Ad while Finn had had another roommate before, Finn was so happy to have Robbie now. He felt like they understood each other much better than his last roommate.
"W-Well that w-works out for me b-b-because you're the best roommate I've ever had." Finn admitted with a soft smile. Edric had been...nice, but he and Finn definitely had different opinions on some things. Robbie was an appreciator of the arts too. They seemed to understand each other.

Bruce nodded thoughtfully, intent on showing the new people that he was listening and cared about what they said. Even if the ordeal with Gabriella had made him nervous, he wanted to make Finn and Maddy feel welcome.
(Of course, Finn wasn't entirely new, but it was his first time at this group. And Bruce knew he was shy by nature).
"Thanks, everyone. So I wanted to ask first if anyone had something they wanted to bring up."
"Well, I think we should address the elephant in the room, right?" Aquata said bluntly.
"The elephant..." Bruce looked around. Some human expressions still threw him.
"Gabriella," Aquata continued.
"Ah," Bruce said, though he still didn't really understand what this had to do with elephants. "Yes, er, what did you want to share?"
"I mean, first, I think we should just make sure we're all on the same page about safety," Aquata continued. "We obviously have to be really careful about what we put in writing."
“I think we should go back to being word of mouth only,” said Alana. “That way we can at least verify who we’re talking to.”
She felt a sour feeling in the back of her mouth. She’d been very optimistic about the idea when it was first suggested. Gil had been the one with an overabundance of caution, which she’d been a little annoyed with at the time. But now… well, he’d been right, hadn’t he?
“I do believe it’s more important now than ever to do more proactive outreach,” said Gil.
“Oh, like you did with me?” asked the new girl. “I mean, well, I guess I just blurted it out, but —”
“You blurted it out?!” Alana snapped her gaze, raising both eyebrows.
“No! I mean, not like that. We were the only ones in the store.”
“She was just surprised,” said Gil. “Like she said… she wasn’t expecting to find us. I’m glad she did though. Between the six of us, we could come up with a good way to let people know in person, without being too overt.”
Ah they were starting right in about the Gabriella situation. Finn supposed it made sense. It was what had stressed him out the most about coming to this meeting in the first place. The idea of them all grouping together, especially when one of them had been exposed.
It made him uneasy, and he did think... word of mouth might be smart. But then, if they did encounter someone like this girl who just blurted it out in the open... that seemed dangerous too. Finn worried at his lip. "W-Word of mouth is probably better," Finn agreed softly. "Do w-w-we need something like a code word or...I guess that's kind of silly." Especially since new people wouldn't really know the code word or anything like that.
Finn ran a hand through his hair and debated over what else they could do to make things better. "Also may-maybe if w-we do meet someone new like us w-we... w-we can let each other know and maybe each vet them and discuss b-b-before they come to one of these? Or if w-we're ready to add them right away." He suggested softly. "That w-w-way none of us are surprised at our next meeting either."

"I'd love to do both of those things," Tae said, grinning big and bright, and as much as he sort of kept to himself most days, he found he really meant it. Yeah, he told Finn he'd dealt with his shit, and he really had done a lot of growing up recently, but a lot of it was just that he wasn't forced to be around stupid people as much. His job didn't really put him into contact with too many people, and when he wasn't working he just kind of dove into his hobbies or spent time around people he loved. It was hard to get angry while doing things he wanted to do.
This was something he wanted to do.
Walking with Finn was so soothing. The boy just walked along, looking at the trees and the flowers and making small talk, and it made Tae want to look at the trees and the flowers too, something he never really stopped to do. "I should really get outside more," Tae said, laughing. "Like, I get outside, but not just to walk, you know? It's nice."
A smile lit up Finn's face. He was so glad that he and Tae could spend time together. He'd thought about Tae a lot too when he'd been in Paris. But he still felt more awkward about reaching out to him the same way he did with Nemo during their time apart. It was silly really, because now that they were walking together it felt good and fun and nice.
Finn hummed. "You sh-should! Don't let w-w-work keep you from enjoying the b-b-beauty of the w-world all the time." Finn knew this was also a little bit the pot calling the kettle black because, while he did go outside and take pictures when he could, Finn was also double majoring and working at Whos It's when he could. He was a busy person lately. "This might b-be a little weird to say... but It's really nice to see you hap-p-py. Or at least... you seem a lot happier now." Finn ran a hand through his hair. "I know things used to be so crazy, so I guess it just ma-makes sense. And everything...everything really is better after secondary huh?"

Nemo preened. Perfect. Well, he didn't know about that, but he did know it felt good-- good for him, but even better if Finny had liked it. Nemo could kiss Finn in that soft and patient way forever and feel all fluttered up from wing tip to wing tip. He didn't necessarily even need more than that.
But he wondered if there would be more. If they'd try all different kinds of kisses, each with their own color, and texture, and feeling.
For now though, he was giddy with this one. He squeezed Finn's hand again and leaned in to peck his cheek.
"Yeah, I feel the same way," he affirmed. "You have such soft lips, Finny. I love kissing you."
Finn's face felt warm, especially his cheeks and his ears, but it was a good sort of warm. He liked the feeling. He liked how it felt to try these things with Nemo. "Your lips...they're really soft too," he mumbled, gripping onto Nemo's hand as a good support, lifting their hands and pressing a soft kiss to the back of Nemo's hand also.
It was nice to be able to show his love and affection for Nemo in this way too. It felt like an extension of all the good feelings he had for his closest friend and soulmate. "C-Can I..." he trailed off after a moment, scooting in close again, their faces not too far apart. "C-Can I kiss you again?" He asked. "Just a little b-b-bit more?" It was funny, really. Finn had never thought about kissing much before. He had never really thought about what it would be like to want to kiss more than once even. Or to feel like once or twice just wasn't enough to express the depth of a feeling.
Finn found that he felt that way now. He had gone a year without Nemo and it had been painful. Now it felt like a part of him ached even being so close to him. Like he needed more and more time to make up for the time they hadn't seen each other. "You're the most b-b-beautiful p-p-person in the whole w-w-world Nemo," Finn told him softly. "Inside and out. I know it."

In secondary, he and Finn had been friends, yes, but Finn had always been so painfully shy around people that weren't Nemo, that it was a little hard to get to know him. It always sort of felt like Finn was his friend because they were both close to the same person, and there wasn't anything wrong with that, but this moment felt like something just for them and Tae was kind of surprised to realize how happy he was about that.
Finn was sweet and kind and cute and Tae knew he was a good friend, too, just from watching him with Nemo. It made him immeasurably happy to think that maybe Finn would be his friend like that too. "Yeah?" he asked, his eyes lighting up. "I'd love to!" And because he would be forever ashamed of the way he used to act sometimes in secondary, Tae looked at Finn and cleared his throat. "Um I also like, want to apologize if I ever scared you or made you uncomfortable in secondary. I was like, super angry all the time and I've kind of dealt with it and realized I was an angsty asshole, so yeah. I just wanted to make sure you knew I try not to be like that anymore."
Tae said he'd love to!
That little nagging thought that sounded a lot like one of the Ashleys saying he wouldn't really want to dissipated as quickly as it had managed to pop up with his words. It was nice that they could take this time now, just the two of them. Without any of the drama from secondary in the way for either of them.
Finn blinked, surprised for a moment before he reached out for Tae's hand and gently squeezed it. "You d-d-don't need to apologize to m-me. I always knew some-something had to b-b-be bothering you and..." he ran a hand through his hair. "You know I was b-b-bullied back then so I was easily intimidated b-b-by every-everyone." Finn had never held Tae's temper against him really.
Yeah, there were some times he was a little scared, but Finn had been so scared of the whole world, that he couldn't exactly pin that on Tae's behavior entirely. "I knew if Nemo re-re-really cared about you, then you had to b-b-be a great p-p-person to know." And though Finn had been too scared to really try independently before, he wasn't now. "I'm not as b-b-big of a chicken any-anymore either so..." he smiled at Tae. "We c-c-can start fresh kind of?" He offered, pausing to grab Pannie and leash him again.
"If you w-w-want w-we can hang out at my mom's p-place once I drop P-P-Pannie off. Or we-we could g-go get something to eat?"
