skoosiepants | wherein I reprise Colt and Minnie, because they're just too damn precious (Reply)

SERIOUSLY. I AM TOO INVESTED IN THESE IMAGINARY KIDS' LIVES. AND YES MARTY'S MOM IS KELTIE. THEY ARE BIG DORKS TOGETHER BUT THAT'S FOR ANOTHER SCENE.

With a name like Marty Wright, Jamie figures this kid has to be ten kinds of a dork. Not that Jamie minds. He’s used to his Uncle Brendon and that entire Walker-Urie tribe, and Kit and Lissa may be in a hugely successful band, but that doesn’t make them any less prone to the lameness of their fathers. It’s really endearing, Jamie thinks. He’s pretty sure he’ll get along fine with Uncle Ryan’s new stepson.

The problem, though, as Jamie sees it, is that Marty looks a hell of a lot like his mother, and his mother is a gorgeous, long-legged blonde. He’ll get the snot beaten out of him if he’s not careful. Jamie sighs. Seriously, he’s going to have his hands full keeping his brother David out of trouble this year, and now he'll have to keep an eye on Marty, too.

“Holy crap,” Minnie says, leaning heavily into Jamie’s side.

“I know.” Jamie rubs a hand over his forehead.

“I’m all a-flutter.”

Jamie gives her a look. “Who actually says that?”

“Well,” Minnie flails her hands around, “just look at him. I mean. He’s going to get eaten.”

Jamie stifles a laugh. Min DeLeon’s like a tiny, curly-haired poodle, with just as much manic energy as her dad. Plus, she tends to exaggerate. Marty’ll probably be fine. Maybe. Once Jamie got a few things straight with everyone.

“Whoa,” Colt says, skidding to a stop next to Jamie and dropping his book bag. “That dude’s not a chick, right?”

“Shut the fuck up, Colligan,” Jamie says, punching him in the shoulder. Colt’s harmless, but he’s generally an ass.
