I Need These Two To Be My Parents-

Peter, Mike, and Micky on the set of the Monkees - Sometime during 1966

Peter: Davy look! I got a box of crayons that has 100 colors inside!

Davy: color me impressed

Peter: *digging through box in distress* I don’t have that one!

What if—

Steve Harrington has an audio processing disorder and that's why he was staring at Eddie's lips in the Upside Down? Like, he certainly doesn't mind staring, because they're attractive lips. But also, it wasn't initially due to infatuation or flirting.

And then, when everything is over, him and Eddie hang out a lot. And Eddie notices that Steve still stares at his lips—like a good 99% of the time. So he just leans in and kisses Steve.

And Steve like blue screens, essentially. Like that's his moment of realization? It's not like he wasn't aware of his feelings for Eddie, but he didn't realize how badly he wanted them to kiss. But now that it's happened, he has even more of a reason to keep staring at Eddie's lips. (Even though it definitely doesn't help that he stops listening and processing whatever Eddie's saying, because he just wants to kiss so bad. So Steve has to kiss Eddie every once in a while to shut him up and then ask for him to start over. And Eddie isn't bothered by this, just rolls his eyes and fakes annoyance.)

(This is brought to you by the fact that I stare at everybody's lips and yeah, sometimes I want a kiss. But also, what the fuck are you saying? I have to know.)

Edit: I reblogged already, but there's a little drabble now, if you're interested! The link can be found here!

Davy: Let me make myself clear, I don’t like you.

Peter: Okay, then get off my lap.

Davy: …No.

Paperbacks should be $1 and hardcovers should be $2

Posting a TikTok edit here… Davy Jones from the Monkees and Dance the Night by Dua Lipa. I will not be taking questions on my mental state at this time.

Give me view pls 🙏

Peter: The secret to life is to always use more spinach and less rice than you think you’ll need.

Micky: The second secret to life is that fresh air, warm sun, and a cup of tea will make your problems small enough to start handling.

Davy: The third secret to life is that violence sometimes really is the answer.

“I actually adore David Jones. We don’t have a lot in common — it’s really amazing. [Micky] and I have a great deal in common and we’re pals, but I don’t have the same depth of feeling for him as I do Davy.”

“I kind of fell in love with Davy Jones.”

“My heart connection is biggest with Davy. Davy is capable of as much heart as anyone I’ve ever met. I kind of had a crush on Davy for a while.”

“Davy actually kinda got my heart.”

“I love and respect each of these guys in their own way, although the real joys that I shared with Davy were special. [. . .] He was the one member in the group that I had the strongest human connection with.”

“What I don’t often say is that I loved David the most.”

Peter: *chasing Davy around the pad, hitting him over the head with a newspaper* Stop. Putting. My. Guitar. Picks. In. Your. Mouth!
