MHA #13 - Tuesday Morning

Cutter and Connor had another check in with Becker that morning so they were up early as usual, they were finishing up their breakfast , at the moment they blissfully unaware that there was anything out of the ordinary happening that day, even though Cutter did find himself humming a fair a bit, but he didn’t think anything unusual about that.

“You know I was thinking that maybe later I could try working on the keyboard?” he suggested.

[for the boyfriend but can be open!]

Connor nodded as he stood and took their plates to the kitchen to wash them up. He too found himself with a bit more energy than normal for that early in the morning as a certain song seemed to be stuck in his head as he found himself humming a bit as he took care of the dishes.

"That would be great Nick. I think we could definitely get some time in after the call from Becker!"
anomaly_research_nerd: (geeky grins)

Connor looked over at Cutter when he started to sing. It wasn't something he usually did, even when it was just them, so it definitely caught his attention. A smile spread over his face and Connor opened his mouth to say something about how nice a surprise that was only to find himself singing right back at Cutter...


You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile


He sort of blinked for a moment. "Ok that was....definitely different..." he said, though there was in fact a big smile on his face all the same.
anomaly_research_nerd: (goofy smile)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
"It..might be... probably is..." Connor said hesitantly. "Not that it's a bad thing really and..."

Then Connor found himself singing again, there in the kitchen with Cutter...


Don't know how I live without you
'Cause everytime that I get around you,
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile...


"Well at least it's the truth?" he said with a small somewhat shy grin, the smile definitely still plastered on his face.
anomaly_research_nerd: (cute face)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Connor nodded with a grin. Maybe if he didn't try and say anything he wouldn't end up singing? Was that how this worked? Who knew. It was Fandom, there was no telling. Connor reached a hand out to pull Cutter over to the sink with him.

As he started washing the dishes it was like couldn't hold it back

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure


Yes this was going to be an interesting chec in ..

"You know the answer is yes, Nick" Connor said with a grin as he handed him a plate to dry. "At least they are good songs?"

Aaaaaand then there it was again, bubbling up and out as if there was nothing he could do to stop it.


Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing


The island was choosing appropriate songs at least. Maybe a little too on the nose but.. it could be worse...

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Connor couldnt keep the smile off his face as they worked on the dishes. The singing was odd but nice in a way... he was definitely noticing a trend with the theme and type of songs that seemed to be coming to their minds now for some reason.

It took some effort but Connor managed to get the dishes washed and helped Cutter dry them. It was then he turned around and pulled Cutter close and gave him a soft kiss. Maybe if they were kissing they wouldn't be singing as much?

It was a good attempt but as soon as the kiss ended...


I don't wanna miss one smile
And I don't wanna miss one kiss
And I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
And I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
anomaly_research_nerd: (cool smirk)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
It was definitely a case of 'once more with feeling' because barely a moment passed from when Cutter had stopped that Connor found his own musical confession spilling out with another song:

I wanna be that guy, I wanna kiss your eyes
I wanna drink that smile, I wanna feel like I'm
Like my soul's on fire, I wanna stay up all day and all night
Yeah, you got me singin' like...


Well, he was definitely singing, so the song was at least being truthful about that... among other things...
anomaly_research_nerd: (Happy boi)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
So the island was definitely doing a thing. And it looked like it was going to be an all-day thing and not just a one off fluke. He smiled as he still held Cutter close and nodded or the couch.

"Should at least attempt to get ready for Becker's call?" he said, half expecting himself to start singing everything he wanted to say- musical style.

It was going to be an interesting call with Becker for sure. Maybe he should send him a text before and give him a heads up that the island was up to its shenanigans again?
anomaly_research_nerd: (cute face)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
"We might... the way the morning has started" Connor said as he started towards the couch and sat down, pulling out his phone to text Becker. "Better safe than sorry in case..."

Connor paused, feeling something almost click in his brain a little and the next thing he knew he was singing again...


Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're close up, give me the shivers
Oh baby, you wanna dance 'til the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back


Yup! Fairly good chance they would be singing at least at some point during the check in with Becker!
anomaly_research_nerd: (Default)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Connor nodded as he set off the text message to Becker. He found himself humming as he did, trying hard not to break into song, at least until the text was sent. As soon as it was off to Becker, despite biting his lip to see if he could resist it, Connor found himself once again singing words that seemed all too familiar and close to his heart lately....


Into the car...
On the backseat in the moonlit dark
Wrap me up between your legs and arms
Ooh, I can't get enough...
You know you could tear me apart
Put me back together and take my heart
I never thought that I could love this hard
Ooh, I can't get enough...


Oh it was going to be a very interesting check in with Becker to be sure. Hopefully, Becker handled his first real experience with Fandom insanity well enough.
anomaly_research_nerd: (plotting and scheming)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Connor found himself listening to Cutter with a grin as he heard him sing. And as Cutter stopped for a bit, Connor found another song bubbling up inside and coming out....


When the stars began to fall right out of the sky
And the seas were rising up, I had one thing in mind
It was you, it was you, it was you
It was you, it was you, it was you
When the road began to crumble in front of my eyes
There was only one person I wanted to find
It was you, it was you, it was you
It was you, it was you, it was you
Darling, hey-hey....
The precious moments that we shared
That slow time down inside my head
I wish I'd found this clarity
While I still had you close to me
That I was stuck inside my shell
Until the the ground began to sway
I realized what mattered most that day


Becker really needed to call soon, Connor was pretty sure the singing was getting more and more frequent as time went on.

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-23 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Connor picked up the phone and nodded. "Text just came in, said he's getting ready to call..." Connor took a deep breath and tried to resist the urge to start singing again. Myabe it he concentrated really hard he could ignore it....

Just then the phone started to ring and with a feeling mixed with relief and nervousness Connor reached out to accept the call.

"H-Hey Becker" he said, half expecting to break into song at any moment."

"Hey there you two... got your tex?" Becker said, a mix of confusion and amusement in his voice. "Is this one of those island things you've talked about so much?"
anomaly_research_nerd: (phone call)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
There was silence on the end of the line for a moment and then the found of Becker chuckling could be heard.

"Ok so you guys really weren't just pulling my leg with that text then?" Becker said. "Ok yeah that ummmm that is a new one for me. It's not like contagious through the phone lines, is it? I don't have to worry about suddenly singing "You Are so Beautiful to Me" at Sarah am I?"
anomaly_research_nerd: (hummm)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Connor thought he had been doing pretty good, maybe just maybe, the worst was over.... but then he opened his mouth to poke at Becker for the Sarah comment but instead out came another song ...


We've got the right to choose, and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be, just
Don't pick on our destiny, 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore...


"S-Sorry about that Becker" Connor said with a sigh. So much for that thought about it being done!
anomaly_research_nerd: (Default)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
"So before this gets more awkward than it already is...." Too late for that Connor! "We're here at the flat and haven't left today at all other than to do a couple of loads of laundry downstairs..." and Connor closed his mouth as he started humming another bit of the song. Maybe if he just kept his mouth closed?
anomaly_research_nerd: (phone call)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Im sure there will be more...." Connor said trying to get what he wanted to say out between breaths. "But I'd rather keep that to ourselves...while we have some dignity left..."

Connor gave Cutter a lopsided gin and then looked down at the ankle monitor waiting for the lights to flash like usual.
anomaly_research_nerd: (cute face)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, Connor's luck was giving out and as he gave a sigh of relief as his monitor's lights started to flash he found himself starting to sing again... and to his utter embarrassment just then he was singing to CUtter, whatever ilsand shenanigans going on totally not caring that Becker was still on the phone listing.


I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me


Connor groaned. Could he just curl up in the corner and pretend like he wasn't there just then?
anomaly_research_nerd: (hummm)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"So I think we are done with the check in then riht?" Connor said trying to get the call done before he embarrassed himself anymore in front of Becker... as it was he was going to be paying off Becker for years to not let this get out to the rest of the team. "Was good talking to ya Becker..." and Connor bit his lip, visibly trying to bite back the urge to start singing again.
anomaly_research_nerd: (Default)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Becker was failing miserably at his attempts to hide the chuckling. "Goodbye to you both" he said, the grin on his face obvious even over the phone. "Take care and maybe let any other calls go to voicemail today huh?" he added with a chuckle.

"Yeah.... Will do" Connor said dryly though there was a smirk on his face as he hung up, already starting to sing...


All my life, I've been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long, I dream of the day
When it comes around and it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Then I'm done, done, on to the next one
Done, done and I'm on to the next one
Done, done and I'm on to the next one

anomaly_research_nerd: (Happy boi)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh look there was a flush on Connor's cheeks going even deeper red if that was possible as he smiled at Cutter, finding himself singing again too ...


There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good
To finally feel the way I do
… Now I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing
The only thing I wanna do, mmhmm
… I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you


At least it was better singing to Cutter without an audience. And with a broad grin, Connor reached out and pulled Cutter close as he stood from the couch as wrapped his arms around him as he sang. If they were going to be stuck singing to each other all day they might as well enjoy it right?

So much better.... didnt matter that he was standing there in the living room in his boxers and shirt. All that mattered was he was standing there with the man he loved. As he smiled and pulled Cutter closer, arms wrapping around his waist as he held him, Connor kept singing, a broad grin on his face as he did...


Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do
… I used to run in circles goin' no where fast
I'd take a one step forward and a two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line
Even if I wanted to
… I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

It was very nice just getting to be together like this. And hearing the words that he and Nick were singing to each other and knowing how honest and real they were- even if it was the island making them say them at last- Connor smiled and pulled Cutter close and kissed him. There was no singing if they were kissing but that was just a secondary perk as all Connor wanted to do was enjoy being with Cutter just then.
anomaly_research_nerd: (kisses)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
After all the very lovey-dovey singing and all it was since to just be together like this. and Connor was definitely taking the time to enjoy every bit of it.

But eventually breathing once again became a thing and he reluctantly broke the kiss. He looked at Cutter for a moment then as if on cue the singing started again as he smiled at Nick...


Sweet little words made for silence not talk
Young heart for love not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world


Connor smiled as he stood and tugged Cutter along with him pulling him closer as he started moving towards the keyboard as he kept singing.

Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn...
anomaly_research_nerd: (Happy boi)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
Connor smiled as he watched Cutter sit down and start to play. He stood behind him a broad smile on his face as he heard the music, a thrill building in him that almost made tears come to his eyes realizing that Cutter was actually playing again. Connor leaned in closer as he started singing more of the song.


First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour's never a wasted one
The violin, the poet's hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
Oh now....
anomaly_research_nerd: (Happy boi)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Connor felt a lump start to form in his chest as he heard Cutter start to sing along as he continued to play. He leaned in close and wrapped his arms around Cutter, careful not to disturb him as he played as he continued to sing along with him.


Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn...


Connor nuzzled the side of Cutter's neck as he continued to play, losing himself in the music and how wonderful it was to be with his boyfriend, the man he loved, like this.
anomaly_research_nerd: (kiss smiles)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Connor kept his arms around Cutter, listening to him play even as the singing stopped. He gently kissed the side of his neck. "I love you Nick" he whispered softly, feeling his own eyes start to brim with tears, "so very much."
anomaly_research_nerd: (kisses)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
With the playing stopped, Connor sat down on the bench next to Cutter and pulled him close. "I love you more than anyone... or anything Nick" he said softly as he leaned closer and kissed him softly, tenderly, lovingly, arms wrapping around him in an almost protective hug. He knew what a big thing this was for Cutter, playing again, and right then and there Connor knew he would never let Helen take that away from Cutter again.
anomaly_research_nerd: (kisses)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I will always be here for you Nick and I will always love you. I want to be with you and no one else" Connor said as he felt tears of his own roll down his cheeks. "Thank you for letting me be here with you for letting me be a part of this with you" he said as he reached up and brushed away some of the tears and then kissed Cutter again.
anomaly_research_nerd: (kiss smiles)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Then we will keep doing it. We will keep playing and singing... together. As much as we want" he said with a grin as he leaned over and kissed Cutter's forehead. "I love you, Nick. And I will always be here for you."
anomaly_research_nerd: (Happy boi)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Connor smiled. All he wanted was right there and all he ever needed was Cutter there with him. "How about he head somewhere a little more comfortable" he asked with a wink.
anomaly_research_nerd: (flirty grin)

[personal profile] anomaly_research_nerd 2024-01-24 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Connor smiled and pulled Cutter along towards the bedroom. He couldn't think of a better way to end the day and he took Cutter's hand and kissed it softly as they disappeared into the bedroom.
