Song: Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches

Characters: Akira and Garvin. The rest of GRAIN mentioned.

Context: Just Akira and Garvin being idiots together, probably earlier on in the polyship's relationship. They're just silly little guys who love each other and don't know how to express it, lol

-

Akira, about Garvin, still struggling to admit to really having romantic emotions toward him but also starting to embrace it, realizing that they don't have to lose the friendship to start a relationship, also just kind of complementing Garvin for being himself: "You're a part time lover and a full time friend, the monkey on your back is the latest trend! I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you."

Garvin, more open to the idea of the relationship being romantic, even though he doesn't have a good concept of what that looks in a healthy way, mostly focusing on the sexual because of his experience: "I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train, I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side. I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you..."

Akira, casually poking fun at both themself and Garvin, knowing offense won't be taken, becoming more comfortable in the new relationship: "Here is the church and here is the steeple, we sure are cute for two ugly people! I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you!"

Garvin, confused on why Akira's sticking around, even on a bad day: "The pebbles wouldn't forgive me, the trees wouldn't forgive me so why do you forgive me?... I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you..."

Akira, mostly just expressing how comfortable they are around Garvin: "I will find my niche in your car with my MP3, DVD, rumple-packed guitar. I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you!"

Garvin, smirking when Akira agrees to going on a heist with him: "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start! Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart! I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you!"

Garvin, during one of their hang-out sessions, listening to Akira talk happily, occasionally throwing in a joke or two of his own: "You are always trying to keep it real, I'm in love with how you feel, I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you..."

Akira, admitting to the arguments with Revan, but also stating that they're refusing to be on anyone else's side but Garvin's, trusting him more than the others at the moment: "We both have shiny happy fits of rage, you want more fans, I want more stage, I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you..."

Garvin, casually admitting to loving Akira... in the most indirect way possible, well-aware that Akira will pick up on it even if no one else does: "Don Quixote was a steel driving man, my name is Garvin, I'm your biggest fan. I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you!"

Akira, grinning in and responding in their own, equally confusing way, also knowing Garvin will understand even if no one else does: "Squinched up your face and did a dance, you spin around until you can't. I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you!"

Garvin and Akira, just being idiots in love, caring for each other in the most confusing ways they can manage: "But you!"

Akira and Garvin: *Confused when everyone thinks they're dating*

Also Akira and Garvin: *Do this shit*

*The squad playing A Million Dollars, But... and it's Nico's turn*

Nico, reading off cards: "Okay, a million dollars, but when you walk up a staircase everyone in the vicinity turns and stares at you."

Nico, flipping their hair playfully: "Ha, that happens to me all the time :)"

Akira, smirking: "So you want the eyes on you?"

Briar, nodding in agreement: "Right? My thought is kind of like 'Oh,' Like, if I'm walking up a staircase, I want to be seen."

Nico, smiling: "People are like 'Oh, it's the princess!'"

Briar, grinning in approval: "Exactly!"

Ingall: "But- You just climbed to the top of the stairs- You're like, you know... Not presentable, necassarily."

Akira, confused: "Wait, how are you not presentable?"

Briar, even more confused: "You can't walk up stairs?!"

Ingall, slightly embarrassed: "You guys don't get a little tired?"

*Everyone laughs

Ingall, trying to play it off: "Just a little bit?"

Garvin, snickering: "Damn."

Nico, reading the next card and grimacing: "Oh my god, I hate this one! A million dollars, but when you walk up the stairs your genitals pulsate!"

Aries, slightly grossed out: "Ohhhh!"

Briar, almost offended: "Pulsate?!"

Akira, smirking: "Okay, but like, in a good way!"

Briar, catching on: "Oh. Like 'thump, thump, thump, thump.'"

Akira, nodding: "Like a little... Just a little vibration!"

Garvin, grinning and making eye-contact with Akira: "They just get a little of that boom-boom pow!"

*Everyone cracks up*

-

*The squad playing Blind (so, going in without any idea what the other person your doing a bit with is going to do or wear) Try Not To Laugh, it's Nico's turn in the seat and Garvin and Akira's turn to do a bit*

Akira, walking out in a plain yellow shirt: "Hey there! Welcome to Raising Canes, what can I get you today?"

Garvin, who's dressed in a chicken costume, in a serious voice: "Uh... My daughter."

*Everyone in the room loses it, including Nico*

Nico, in absolute shock: "Oh- My god-"

Akira, acting panicked: "Uh- That's not- that's not on the... that's not a combo on the menu, sir!" *Acts like they're pressing a button* "Security-"

Garvin, still acting serious, shaking his head: "It's not connected. I want you to go back there, and I want you to find the tendies that were my daughter."

Nico, laughing but mildly terrified: "Oh my god!"

Akira, pretending to look horrified: "I'm going to need a minute."

Nico, snickering: "Oh, she's in a lotta tendies-"

*Everyone loses it*
