	Tatum/Open

Tatum had been at the party for hours, against her own better judgment of the situation. After the debacle at Valentines dance, she had considered swearing off social interaction entirely. If you didn't go outside, people couldn't mock you or kiss your girlfriend.

But her birthday was coming up, and she knew Frankie would never miss a party, and so here she was. She had been doing a pretty good job of getting destroyed and forgetting how bad she didn't want to be there. By the time she finished the first half of her schnapps, she was done caring. Her hat was backwards on her head, and she had a half-smoked but currently unlit joint hanging from her lips. Making her way through the crowd, she eventually found the smokers on the back porch area.

Lighting up, she turned unceremoniously to the person unfortunate enough to be standing closest to her. "No one asked me to show them my tits tonight. Am I ugly or what?" she asked, taking a thoughtful drag. "Maybe it's the hat."

Apple was far beyond wasted. He had just been taking a hit when he heard Tatum's voice and choked a bit on the smoke. "Whaaat?" he coughed, trying to play it cool. Once he got his coughing under control he smirked at his friend. "Tatum, we are surrounded by a sea of assholes," he said throwing his arm around her shoulders. "And any one of us assholes would be lucky to see your boobies," he giggled at the word boobies.

"The hat is cute," he said playfully tapping the top of her head.

"You really like it?" she quickly asked of the hat, hastily adjusting it on her head a little. It had been a last minute decision, easier than doing her hair like other girls had clearly chosen to do. She took another hit, holding it extra long before exhaling to the sky. "Thanks man."

She moved over closer to the side of the house, leaning back on it. "Nobody wants to see my tits though for real, they're like.. little tiny teeny boobies. Do you know like, I don't even have to wear a bra most of the time. How fucked up is that? I'm like a little boy," she mused, shaking her head and lifting the schnapps to have another gulp. "Fuck it."

"I do," he said sweetly to his friend, following her to the side of the house. He leaned against the wall near her and pouted. "You are beauuuuuuuuutiful," Apple said before taking another hit. "I'm not fucking with you Tate, if you weren't a lesbian I would totally go on dates with you! Sometimes less is more."

"Here," he undid his tie a little and pulled it over his head. "I will give you my tie for a flash," he offered. "I'm not a perv, I promise," he grinned.

Tatum held smoke in her cheeks, staring blankly at him as he began to loosen up the tie. When it was offered to her, she reached out to take it cautiously, exhaling in a puff and laughing a little bit. "Are you serious?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"There are some things you can't unsee."

"I'm so serious!" he giggled. "I'll go first," he lifted his own shirt above his head and laughed. "Your boobies are gonna be waaaaaaay better than mine."

"Holy shit," Tatum laughed, giving him a playful little shove. She almost dropped her joint, but quickly recovered, bringing it back to her lips. "Okay, okay, but don't even laugh at me," she warned, inhaling on what was left before tossing the roach onto the deck and stepping it out with the toe of her sneaker.

"Bra is ugly by the way," she joked, reaching down and grabbing the bottom of her tee. "Seriously, don't laugh!" she warned a second time, laughing herself as soon as she said it. God, she needed more schnapps.

Apple laughed and took a few stumbley steps. "Scouts honor and shit," he said holding up three fingers. He thought that was the scout's symbol, right?

"I won't laugh," he said putting his hand over his heart. "Did you see mine? Do you need to see 'em again? I got nothin' to work with!" he joked.

"You say that like I got anything to work with," Tatum shot back, grinning at him through a small cloud of smoke that seemed to hang around them. She glanced over her shoulder, there were only a couple of other people out there, and at least one seemed passed out. It was now or never.

Pulling her shirt up quickly, the red-head squinted her eyes shut, grinning from behind the yanked up tee. "Bet you thought I wouldn't even do it," she teased, laughing loudly.

He really hadn't expected her to flash him and grinned out of shock. "What are you talking about? You have great boobies!"

"You get my tie and all my beads!" he said handing them all over. "It's like secret great boobies because everyone else here has their heads up their own asses," he grinned.

"It has to be secret! Don't like, tell Frankie or something. It's just Mardi Gras, it ain't no thing," she replied, hauling her shirt back down and adjusting it slightly, getting comfy once again. She took the beads and ducked under them, before getting to adjusting the tie around her neck. "Well earned riches," she commented, twisting some beads around her finger.

"I feel less left out now, dude. Thanks," she added, lifting a hand up to give him a fist bump.

	Tatum/Apple

He put his finger to his lips and grinned. "Mums the word Tate," he giggled. "Everyone flashes on Mardi Gras, I flash on Mardi Gras!" Although he probably should have checked with his girlfriend if that was okay first. Still... it made his friend feel more included, he didn't like seeing his friends feel bad about themselves. Janis would understand... he hoped.

Apple fist bumped her with a big grin. "That were well earned," he agreed. "I'm glad I could be of service," he gave a little bow. "I'm honored. Wait... so am I the only guy who's seen your lady pillows?"

"Go big or go home," Tatum agreed, nodding sagely. She lifted the schnapps bottle up, taking a long chug before lowering it. "And I ain't fucking ready to go home. I didn't even wanna come here, but it's not bad if I just stay away from everybody. I'm pretty chilled right now," she murmured, grinning at the fist bump.

When he asked about lady pillows though, she burst into laughter, tipping her head back against the side of the house and lowering her hat over her eyes. "Yes! How many dudes did you think I go and like just, show my junk to?"

She paused a moment before going on. "Actually, I think you're the second, technically. I think I showed one of my brother's friends once when we were like.. thirteen. But it was for a gram. And are those really boobs? Thirteen year old boobs? I'm almost seventeen and they still aren't really boobies."

	Tatum/Apple

"These things are always a little weird," he shrugged. "To be honest I usually just get high as fuck and stay on the outside of it all."

Apple laughed. "I'm not sayin you go around flashing your lady goods," he said putting his hands up in the air in surrender.

"They're real boobs, they're... proportional," he said finding the right word. "Perky!" he giggled. "But thirteen year old boobies, that's not the real thing, not quite."

	From: porcelinaofvast	Date: March 11th, 2011 03:13 am (UTC)		(Link)
	Tatum/Apple

Tatum laughed, shaking her head at him. "Perky, I like that one. I like a good pair of perky boobs," she replied, giving that sagely nod again. "Big boobs aren't all they're cracked up to be. Even the fake ones are kind of weird looking.. chicks with small boobs are usually pretty cute."

Sliding down into a sitting position, still against the side of the house, she held the schnapps bottle between her knees. "Would you think I was a fucking loser if I told you I never really even like, touched boobs until a couple months ago? Like, real boobs."

	Tatum/Apple

"Me too," he grinned taking another hit. "I can't imagine having big boobies," he said after letting out a puff of smoke. "Like... wouldn't they just get in the way?" he asked with that little smirk growing bigger.

Apple slid down the wall next to her and took a seat, pulling his flask out of his pocket. He took a swig and sighed. "I would not think you're a loser at all. I didn't touch anyone's boobs until this past summer and it wasn't even like under the shirt," he admitted. "Chick said I was too high so she broke up with me before I had the chance," he laughed and took another swig from his flask. For as chill a kid as Apple was, he hadn't been comfortable telling anyone else about his sexuality. "Jan's different though, she's so fuckin cute," he giggled.

"Hey! Would you think I was a fucking loser if I told you I used to make out with a guy?" he grinned.

"Don't forget the back problems! It's like, a legit thing. Women with huge boobs always have bad backs, it's science," Tatum added, nodding. "Plus totally in the way. Or I guess they'd be in the way. It makes sense, right?"

Tatum leaned forward onto her pulled up knees, grinning lazily as she listened to Apple speak. "I definitely wouldn't think you were a fucking loser if you told me that. Who cares? Was it good? I always kind of figured dudes would be really awkward at kissing. Girls are so soft and like.. I dunno. You know what I mean, right?" she asked, turning to look at him with drunken seriousness.

"Girls are just like, girly."

"Oh my god, I'm getting sympathy back pains just thinking about it," he joked putting his hand behind his back. "Can you imagine running with those things?"

"It was alright, I mean... I'm kind of a cuddle slut so that was nice but you're right, the kissing wasn't my favorite," he admitted. "Girls are a lot sweeter," he grinned. "Girly and soft and cute," he giggled.

	Tatum/Apple

Apple nodded. "Right? We should totally like... throw a big bash for your birthday," he giggled. "And you're right, you won't have to worry about a damn thing your dad says," he shrugged. "Though my mom would like... love if I just did yoga all day," he laughed. "The benefits of my mom owning a yoga studio," he sighed happily.

"Right? I think you're the coolest chick Tate," he said holding his flask up like a cheers and then took a long drink. "You don't have boy titties," he giggled. "I'm glad you're happy with you because you should be," he grinned over at her. "You are amazeballssssssss," he giggled.

"I have to go home with Sera on my birthday," Tatum sighed. "Well, part of my birthday. We're just going to Floo home for dinner and stuff, I guess.. but after that, I want to have an actual birthday. We should all get together and smoke a huge fucking bat, man! I'll take one of my brother's pipes too, he's got the coolest shit.. I don't know how he even keeps it all hidden from dad all year long. It's like magic, and yet he's the squib," she joked, laughing a little.

She lifted her schnapps when he lifted his flask, taking another long chug before letting out a small burp. Her stomach was starting to feel a little queasy but to hell with that. "I guess I'm pretty cool," she agreed jokingly, grinning as she fished round in her pocket for a minute before pulling out her cigarette case. Inside, she pulled out another joint and lifted it to her lips, lighting up quickly. "Cool as fuck."

"Ah yeah, that's what I'm talkin about," he nodded with a big grin on his lips. In his opinion there was nothing better than a stoner birthday bash. "Maybe your brother has like just a touch of magic... just in the form of hiding the good shit," he smirked. "Even my brother has been caught with the stuff before," he laughed. "And he is a wizard, albeit, not a very smart one."

"Nice belch!" Apple congratulated her with a sloppily attempted high five which sent him into another giggle fit. "You're cool as fuck and I'm bad at high fives."

"Wouldn't surprise me, that sneaky bastard," Tatum replied, nodding sagely as she puffed away on the joint. She just hoped she didn't get the munchies; she didn't think she could handle a full stomach right then, plus she had no idea where the junk food got hidden away in this place. "Classy as fuck, right?" she agreed, laughing as their high five barely made it.

"Dude," she replied, expression serious before cracking into a grin. "High five. Get it? It's a high five, and we can't even do that!"

	Tatum/Apple

Apple tried to pull himself together long enough to listen to Tatum when she got that serious look on her face, his eyes grew wide and the little grin turned into full beam. He giggled even more, slipping further down the wall. "High five," he repeated. "You would think of all the people at this school we would be the best at that!"

He put his fingers to his lips, trying to quite himself down but it didn't help. "Don't tell any of the others," he giggled. "But you're my favorite."

"Right? I mean, like other than Charlie, we should probably be the highest fivers in school," Tatum agreed. "It's the only thing I'm really good at. What does that say about me, like.. in real life?"

Pausing, the redhead bit her lip slightly. "Is this real life?"

"Maybe there's like... a metaphysical difference between high fiving and high fiving. Maybe... we're really good at high fiving but not normal fiving," he giggled.

He looked at her with his big dopey eyes and pouted. "I don't know Tate," he held his hand out in front of him and wiggled it. "It looks like real life, smells like real life..."
