[DRP] The Photobooth [OPEN]

"But if I warn you then you won't make any funny noises. Oh, well," Jordan said, and sighed melodramatically. It was a joke, anyway; he knew how much Horace didn't like to be touched unexpectedly, and he tried to respect that. Avoiding a shock was secondary.

"A whole latte love," Jordan laughed. "We can go with that. Does this thing have a button, or is it automatic?"

"Maybe.. one day you can," he said, feeling disheartened by it. He hated feeling broken and the fact that something so long ago still effected him. And if Horace continued thinking about it, Jordan's arm would start to feel impossibly heavy and constraining instead of warm and kind of nice. He knew Jordan was joking, but that didn't stop him from feeling kind of sad about it all.

He forced himself to re-focus on their baby and patted the bag mock-affectionately. "Uhhhh, I didn't think of that." Horace looked up for a button. "If it was automatic, I think we'd have heard it go off, right?" Horace began to stab his finger at random buttons. One had to work.

"Maybe it's triggered by goofy faces," Jordan suggested, and crossed his eyes at the camera, grinning. "Smile, Lottie!"

Horace glanced at Jordan and laughed. "Your face is going to get stuck like that!" But he still followed Jordan's lead and stuck his tongue out in the general direction of the camera.

Then put it back in because he wanted to speak. "After, we should go... drink Lottie. That sounds awful."

"That's what Mom said, but it hasn't happened yet." Jordan uncrossed his eyes and slid a glance over at Horace, contemplative.

He laughed. "It does, but I can make it worse - we gotta grind it up and soak it in boiling water first."

"Maybe it did stick and you just used to be handsomer!" Horace gasped, then grinned. "Also, I truly believe that is cannibalism at it's finest. I can't wait to eat our child, Jordan." And if that wasn't a weird thing to say, he must not have the correct definition of 'weird'. Horace laid his head on Jordan's shoulder and looked up at him, properly adoringly.

"You're probably about eighty percent coffee." He turned to look at the small display screen inside. "C'mon, let's head out. Might be broken, or at least, it's gotta be done."

Jordan snickered helplessly. "Does eat or drink sound worse in this context?" he asked, but he turned his head a little to complete the pose, meeting Horace's eyes with a sappily sweet look.

"Eighty percent might be low," he allowed. He let his arm slide off Horace's shoulders. "Let's see if there's any photos in the thing."

Aleksy had loitered by the shopping cart return while Finn checked out, Laika safely retrieved from dog parking. Finn bounded over, reusable tote bags full of groceries in slung over his shoulders.

"Ready to go?" he asked, and then scanned the wall of machines - water refill, Redbox, hey, where'd the Coinstar go?

"Hey," said Finn. "Was that photobooth always there?"

My Treat

Cass had no idea what was going through his mind. "Yes with you. Or do you not want to get a picture with a pretty thing like me?" she asked teasingly as she climbed into the booth.

Which was when she noticed even more oddity to it.

"There's no buttons in here."

It's Destiny

One smooch later and they'd gotten their picture, but it looked like it was taken earlier when Jamie had been fumbling for controls and Shiloh had snuck in a smooch of his own. "Oh my gosh," he said, immediately smitten. "This is such a cute picture." The longer he looked at it, though, the more it stood out as cute, but also pretty damn unusual.

"What the heck is this hand? And the teddy grahams..." Magic. Of course. Jamie supposed he didn't mind too much, though. The photo was still cute. "Weird... but I guess this is a sign we should get some extra teddy grahams." They were here to shop, after all, and even though the booth had been a fun distraction, it was time to get back to the mission.

"C'mon, Shiloh," Jamie said with a small, affectionate laugh, "Let's get going."

"No," said Aleksy, not looking up from his phone. "That was a coinstar. It's now not a coinstar. What about it?"

"Oh," said Finn, feeling a bit saner - he was never sure what was and wasn't normal for the new universe he'd woken up in.

"Do you want to take Laika and go take a picture?" he asked, realizing it was probably meant for passport photos - but he doubted they'd get in any trouble.

"Sure," said Aleksy. "C'mere, girl." It was wholly unnecessary to call his dog over. She was gamboling about his feet. He gathered her up and joined Finn by the photobooth. "Beefcake boyfriends first," he said to Finn.
