I feel like a needy, self-absorbed jackass, but, come on, you know?”
I’m always disappointed in myself whenever I let Will talk me into watching Star Wars. But it’s not like I ignore my boyfriend whenever I’m playing a game. “Aren’t you really into video games and stuff?” she asks, completely ignoring his input. “I mean, I guess we all have our vices,” she says after a minute. He leans away from her when she reaches out to ruffle his hair. “You’ll be my favorite in-law, Nico,” she says. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” I don’t even know why this is a big deal. My siblings think I’m insane, but they’re the ones over there acting like idiots, aren’t they?” He leans back against Apollo’s table with a sigh. Apparently there’s some kind of convention going on.
“Now you understand it,” Kayla says one day, as they watch Will and seemingly half the fucking camp line up for May 4th, which Nico hadn’t even registered to be important. He lets Will quote the characters as they say the lines, he sits and says nothing when Will celebrates their accomplishments and mourns their losses, even though he’s seen these movies far more than Nico has. Plus, the whole love-triangle turned incest thing is seriously fucked up.īut, Will loves these movies for some reason, as does much of the world-obviously, since they keep making more content-so Nico sits through the marathons. She's pretty enough, he supposes, but doesn’t hold his interest in the least. If they are, they’re covered in baggy clothes because god forbid the gay men have eye-candy in the ‘70s. He now knows the most famous quotes of the films far more accurately than he ever cared to. He has more than reached his quota for how long he can stand to see the same base-rate fight scenes, boring light tricks, and tacky screenplay. In the days leading up to May 4th, Nico has watched the Star Wars movies probably five times now- each.
