ON SET | FACK

TWENTY SEVEN

RECAP:
"i loved it!" jack cheered, resulting in bows from sophia and jeremy. "and, i love you guys." 

"ew, so sappy grazer!" sophia ran over to him, pinching his cheeks.

"but we love you too." chosen nudged sophia out of the way, kissing jack's cheek lightly.

chosen and sophia fought to give jack their affection, pushing each other out of the way, but eventually finn just wrapped his arms around jack and the others soon followed, crowding around him for a group hug.

as they broke the hug up, jack noticed wyatt and jaeden had made their way over in the middle of the chaos. wyatt was smiling, his and jaedens hands lightly touching each other as they stood side by side.

as jack made eye contact with jaeden, the corners of his mouth turned up into a toothy grin, scrunching up his face.

jack winked at the boy, his heart beating a million miles per hour. and not just from the coffee; but from his favourite people. his losers club.

"that was so fun!" jack exclaimed as the group of seven finally got home from their first day of filming. they had all done amazing; they knew it by the way andy and barbara had given them all big hugs and kisses on the cheek, beaming as the pair exclaimed about how happy they were to have their losers back. the seven worked so hard at their jobs, and never failed to impress their directors. finn couldn't help but smile at jack's enthusiasm, wanting to squeeze him tightly and kiss him all over.

"i'm so tired." wyatt fell back onto the couch, closing his eyes. jaeden quickly snuggled in next to him, the two cramming onto the couch. they didn't care, however; as long as they were together.

the scenes they had shot weren't too hard to film, and they didn't film too many scenes. however, it wasn't much different from shooting the first two movies, much to everyone's relief. they were worried it would be a million times harder, but, it was natural being with each other and the directors they had grown to love. the plot was quite cool too; it mainly revolved around the teenagers, well, being teenagers after pennywise. all the love affairs, all the fears each character had, was put on blast. everyone was really bringing their characters personality to light. finn's wardrobe for richie was probably the best, jack had decided. he was to wear things like band tees and even ripped jeans, but also still stuck to some outfits similar to the original movie. andy had instructed jack and finn to have a 'flirty, fun nature,' as eddie and richie, which jack didn't mind, and finn obviously didn't mind either. it was easy for them to do.

"mhm, i definitely think it's bedtime." sophia yawned, getting a glass of water then heading to the bathroom to brush her teeth, as the others started getting ready for bed. finn and jack were the last ones to retreat to their room, leaving wyatt and jaeden to themselves.

"i guess they're okay now?" finn said quietly, slipping out of his outfit for the day and getting into pjs. jack tried not to blush as he threw on one of finn's hoodies and his own baggy shorts.

"jaeden told me they kissed."

"you're kidding!" finn exclaimed in response, hopping into the boys' bed and motioning for him to come over to him. jack made his way into the bed and let finn wrap him up in his arms, quickly throwing the blanket over top of both of them. "why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"i totally forgot. today was so busy." jack reassured the other boy. "i'm so sleepy."

finn couldn't help but smile and jack cuddled into him, their body heat starting to warm each other up. he felt jack kiss his jawline and he grinned, shaking his head. "what was that for?"

"oh, i don't know." jack said gleefully. "just for being you. we have to practice chemistry, mr. wolfhard."

"speaking of, guess what scene we're filming tomorrow?"

"hm?"

"the scene where eddie falls off his bike. our first on camera kiss scene." finn remarked, starting to play with jack's hair. jack simply kissed finn's jaw again, then his cheek, feeling his own cheeks heat up as he watched the pale boy turn a crimson colour in the pale moonlight.

"we better start practicing." jack shrugged nonchalantly, quickly propping himself up a bit and pressing his lips against finn's, feeling finn giggle against his lips. jack started to smile, deepening the kiss, taken by surprise as finn lightly parted his lips, grazing jack's bottom lip with his tongue. the two kissed each other for a few moments, barely stopping to properly catch their breath, gently touching each other wherever they could, craving each other's touch. eventually jack pulled away, beaming at the other boy. his lips tingled as he pressed his fingers to them.

"i'm so lucky to have you." finn said gently. "you're so special. what we have is so special. i can't imagine being this close with anyone else, ever."

jack repositioned himself so he could kiss finn's nose ever so softly, and started lightly fluttered his eyelashes against finn's cheeks.

"i think i love you," jack murmured, his words barely audible. "i know i love you. you're always on my mind. never far off. all i think about it wanting to spend every day like this, with you, for as long as humanly possible."

"then that's what we'll do, bubs." finn replied, as if it was the most obvious solution in the world. he let jack lay his head on his chest and wrap his legs around him, finn almost doing the same and intertwining his fingers in jack's curly mop of hair. they lay there, limbs twined like a tree with one too many branches, each branch holding a different story than the other, but nonetheless, in the same universe. in the same world. in the same place.

that's how the two young boys felt with each other. different backgrounds, different stories, yet so many little things in common, and so many little things that differentiated them. and that's what was so perfect. that's what worked so well. and neither boy could ever see that being ruined. no tornado, no earthquake, no storm could ruin the love they held in each other's hearts for each other.

"i love you too," finn added, his voice tender and hoarse, yet full of fulfillment, finally able to say those words properly.

jack felt a small smile start to form as he closed his eyes slowly, letting the words hang in the air for a moment, soaking them into his skin, into his mind, letting himself absorb finn wolfhard to the fullest.

"save that for on set."
