and I won't deny that I don't mind

Summary:

A month or so after Tay and Kruz get together Toast is a little more than fed up with them, but that's not the most important thing when there's trivia night at the bar coming up!

Notes:

ok so this was mostly written like a year ago but it's been burning a hole in my brain knowing how much I wrote for it (and the love I had for this little world) so I cleaned it up a little and cut out most of the bits that never got to go anywhere and hopefully it works as a messy and silly sequel fic.

the title is from this can't be love by whales talk (as is the series title and the og fic).

shubble & toast

toast: shubleeee shubleeee

shubble: I do not mind the extra e's but please take the time to add that second b in there

toast: woag. u are in my phone spelt like that. i cant believe i have never known how u spelt ur name

shubble: are you kidding me?

toast: nonono. holy shit. I must have never written u a birthday card either. or I guess u haven't noticed i spelt it wrong before. wow. I really gotta be a better friend. oof

shubble: ah, well, its okay. just, keep the spelling in mind i guess

toast: no shubble !! its important that u stand up for urself and what I did is awful and unforgivable

shubble: so you want me to be mad at u?

toast: hmmm. well this conversation is already going considerably worse than I thought it would and I haven't even gotten to the reason yet

shubble: well ok. why don't we just start over then. take 2?

toast: yes ok deal

toast: hello shubble and my good friend who i value greatly

shubble: hello toast, what can I do for you?

toast: I was wondering if u have any advice for a poor soul who is now living with a gross romantic couple

shubble: lmao

toast: and you mock me? I reach out to you in my vulnerable state and you mock me ?

shubble: settle down toast

toast: give me a sec…

toast: ok settled

shubble: u are the one who didn't know my name a second ago right? so like do you really have a leg to stand on?

toast: shubble (note: name spelt correctly) this is an entirely new take of the conversation, how dare u bring up my past failures like that

shubble: my sincerest apologies. You may now return to asking me for advice

toast: i will do. shubble my dearest friend, i say it again, how have u handled living with ur roommates for so long? tay and krusty have been dating barely a month and i just cannot take it anymore

shubble: are they that really that coupley of a couple? i wouldn't have expected that of them tbh

toast: tay is literally always sitting kruz's lap

toast: do u need literally any other examples ?

shubble: rofl. ok that i can see. tbh my advice is to let them have their honeymoon period and go hang out with friends. they will settle down, trust me. its just that exciting new relationship buzz

toast: eugh shubble that advice is sooo boring

shubble: oh im so sorry, maybe you should try to break them up then? 

toast: there we go! something more exciting

shubble: rofl

shubble: as long as you're joking toast

shubble: toast? you are kidding right?

 

 

tay & chilled

tay: are u free for lunch on wednesday

chilled: no hello? no how are you? not even a question mark at the end of that sentence?

tay: dont be a cunt

tay: are u free or what

tay: ?

chilled: hello tay. good to hear from you

tay: i gave u the damn question mark

tay: when did you become all about small talk anthony? 

chilled: maybe I am just trying to hold us to a higher standard

tay: lmao why

chilled: …thats a good question

tay: hey now. dont be rude

chilled: you are the most impossible person to please in the world

tay: tell that to ur mom

chilled: wow kruz really has been rubbing off on you huh

tay: stfu

tay: so lunch?

chilled: lmao. sure yeah I'm down

tay: as long as u dont only get broccoli this time

chilled: you and your big head are not one to talk about picky eating

tay: yeah but when I do it its cool 

chilled: and for me?

tay: i think u know the answer anthony

chilled: jesus christ. ok fine. just to end this conversation I’ll agree to no broccoli (this time)

tay: god, you're so easy

 

 

doug funnie fan club ( tay, ze, shadow, slack, catz, g, d20, legion )

ze: ok guys huddle up, are we ready for thursday?

g: what?

ze: I know for a fact that you know what I'm talking about

catz: actually i am pretty sure g is not on the team

ze: g and also legion are our reserves 

catz: do the reserves really need to be there/know whats going on. like i'm pretty sure no one is going to pull out this close to it

tay: thats what she said

ze: jesus christ you're a child

tay: a child that is going to win you this tournament

ze: god if you're our ringer we are more screwed than I thought

legion: bro i dont think ur using the right sports terms

tay: well you're not even gonna be there so stfu

ze: thanks for the backup tay. but its all good. i think i'm mostly using them right and that's good enough for me

ze: plus as we were just saying. legion is going to be there. as a reserve

slack: who is this mysterious "we" you seem to speak of

legion: i was just trying to help out dude

ze: and that is appreciated legion

tay: its not

ze: well differing opinions i guess

ze: but what isn't appreciated is the non-answer on whether ur going to be there

ze: because you and g are vital members to the team 

slack: well not /that/ vital

catz: carter why are u even a part of this conversation

tay: oooh zinger !

cats: i didn't mean it to sound that mean sry slack

slack: honestly u should all be sucking up to me. the only reason i'm not on this team is bc I'm literally working at the establishment that night

tay: you aren't going to be quizzing us. thats all speedy

slack: I think tay that u have forgotten that to even compete in trivia the bouncer has to also not kick you out

tay: kruz is higher up than u. if u kick me out i will get xe to fire you

slack: me and kev have already agreed that if one of us gets fired we both walk. theres no way kruz would let both of us go

catz: oh god what a terrible plan. i cant have two housemates without incomes. tay please dont do this to me

tay: ok but only for u

ze: anyways !! back on track. I would feel so much better if could hear (see) confirmation from the horses mouths re coming to trivia

shadow: g is going.

ze: hmm closer to the mouth but still a bit off. perhaps I would call that from the donkey’s mouth

shadow: we flipped a coin to see who would have to be on the team. g is going to be there to take over if its too lame.

d20: also speedy will literally kill any of us if we dont at least show up for a bit

legion: yeah i'll try my best but maybe don't rely too heavily on that fact

ze: i guess that is as good as I’m gonna get

ze: team autism break

tay: excuse you. our team name is the group chat name

ze: when did we decide on that?

tay: kruz asked if we had a team name so i said it was that

catz: look a conversation would have been nice but ill be honest i think that tay's one is a better plan. for u know in public spaces and such

ze: fine fine. but I'm making it known when we're there that i am not a doug funnie fan

slack: dude what did doug ever do to you

 

 

pokemon go to the tbd ( moo, speedy, pete, sidearms, d4, wildcat, dyl, ty, nogla, terroriser, puffer, eli )

moo: that motherfucker

wildcat: what did nogla do this time?

moo: he spilt orange juice on My computer and didn't tell me

puffer: dont u have a really expensive pc?

moo:

puffer: i'll take that as a yes

ty: not to sound insensitive but u do know that this is a chat primarily for pokemon go discussions yeah ?

dyl: well you sure failed at not sounding insensitive

ty: stfu meat cradle

dyl: remember the conversation we had about that not being a pet name that is good at all

ty: I thought we agreed it was good for special occasions

dyl: hmmm. i think we came out of that situation with very different conclusions - plus in what world would this count as a special occasion ?

puffer: jesus christ. now I miss the fkn boyfriend drama

moo: u calling nogla my boyfriend is probably the worse thing u have ever done

wildcat: also the funniest

puffer: is it not a true fact ?

Moo: christ yeah it is but right now sie is my worst enemey

dyl: a bit of a sliding scale thing I get it

nogla: well ofc u would meat cradle

moo: and now This is when you show up

wildcat: never say nogla is one to miss out on comedic timing – despite it being bad for personal relationships

terroriser: you could even say that makes it all the more appealing

 

 

chilled & ze

chilled: flash

ze: thunder

ze: whats up babe?

chilled: krusty has roped me into trivia

ze: wow you are so fucking easy to convince

chilled: u cant act even a little surprised?

ze: I could but I just didnt want to

chilled: not even for me :’(

ze: okay okay. Wow !! I cant believe kruz could sway u like that, how did xe do it?

chilled: now thats more like it

chilled: and how xe did it…. Well that will be a mystery for the ages

ze: just texted her. she promised to have speedy throw a yugioh question in there

chilled: shucks. the secret is out

chilled: wait did u even have to bribe her for that information??

ze: no xe was very willing to give it to me

chilled: hmmm. That will definitely have to be brought up sooner with her sooner rather than later

ze: what team are u on btw?

chilled: you know what,, I don’t even know

ze: god, you’re such a mess

chilled: and despite that you still love me

ze: more like I love you because of it

chilled: you big sap

ze: not bigger than you

chilled: that cannot be proven in any court of law

toast: hey watch it! I was defending u like two seconds ago

eli: lmao

toast: no loyalty here I tell u

smitty: no way! the team that was cobbled together last minute has no loyalty to each other. thats crazy

marcel: and especially now that the reason we were put together has finished

smitty: unless u were thinking we go pro?

marcel: lol

toast: well we definitely could

chilled: I very much agree!

marcel: ofc thats when chilled joins the convo

chilled: good morning to u too marcel

marcel: it feels crazy to have to say this again. But its three fucking pm

chilled: well im taking those niceties back

marcel: well good bc they dont even apply

eli: ok I think thats enough of that

trevor: so brunch? Tomorrow maybe ?

smitty: thanks for the back up

chilled: I can do brunch. Can ze come?

toast: no! ze was not on the winning team now was he?

chilled: …. no he was not

toast: so no. ze is not invited to brunch

eli: no one is allergic to cats right ?

eli: bc if not catz works at a cat cafe that is a pretty nice time

chilled: how poetic

smitty: its really not. That fucker is lucky ve had money saved up bc ve looked away from way too many opportunity for the fucking “opportunity” of working at a cat cafe

chilled: looks like it worked out though

smitty: I would like to murder you with my bear fists

marcel: just ignore chilled. you know hy likes to fuck with people

trevor: seems like this brunch is going to be a blast! :)

 

 

kruz & tay

kruz: have u noticed that toast has been acting really nice for the last couple of days. Some might even call it considerate

tay: oh yeah haha

kruz: when I say that wasn’t the reaction I was expecting I mean it

tay: i was going to tell u but I just found the whole thing too funny to disturb

kruz: ??

tay: so remember like a couple of weeks ago when they were being pissy about literally everything and threatening to move out for no reason

kruz: kinda

tay: well apparently that was their attempt to ‘threaten the foundation of our relationship’

kruz: lmfao wat

tay: at least thats how chilled explained it to me. either of them could have come up with that phrase tbh

kruz: two of our most dramatic friends for sure

tay: and thats saying something

kruz: wait hold up a sec tho. chilled was in on this too? and also what exactly was this?

tay: nah chilled heard from shubble that they were attempting to break us up.

tay: and then I got an update from hym that hy got from shub that toast was now happy for us and trying to earn our forgiveness

kruz: I cant even comprehend how stupid all of that is

tay: oh so fucking stupid

tay: but also very funny

kruz: hey sry about this but gotta get off my phone. wildcat is giving me a death stare

tay: oh I didnt realise u were with him right this second lol. I thought the two of u were meeting up later

kruz: well to do what we’re doing then it is very necessary for us to meet earlier

tay: thats a good point. I guess I just thought xe would find a person and you would just show up lol

kruz: the last time I gave him free reign to choose a threesome buddy xe showed up with nogla

tay: please tell me you have hooked up with nogla. Thats so fucking funny

kruz: god no. we made out for like ten minutes but both him and I kept cracking up. we are the opposite of attracted to each other

tay: which u would think tyler would know

kruz: oh xe sooo knew. xe had the biggest shit eating grin when I got there

tay: lmao

kruz: ok ok goodbye for real. See u tomorrow babe

tay: byeee. have funn !!
