"You make me so fucking livid! I hate you! You walk up to me with your ugly piercings and greasy hair and nasty clothes... do you even care about your reputation?" "Just shut up and kiss me. You're less annoying when you're not talking." Tyler Joseph's only goal in high school was to become student body president. After all, his only goal in life was to become President of the United States and the first step to getting there was being elected student body president of his puny public high school that he didn't even want to be at. Everything after that would be a breeze. His next five years were planned out and everything would go according to those plans as long as nobody fucked it up for him. Josh Dun was only in high school to graduate, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try and have fun while he was there. From skateboarding in the halls to vandalizing teacher bathrooms to receiving (and giving) head in the various janitor's closets. And the one thing he thought was the most fun? Getting on star student Tyler Joseph's nerves... ©nicosniners

"Did you know me? Have you seen me on your TV? They're still looking." -Nicole Dollanganger (Have You Seen Me?) ***Trigger warnings for abuse, kidnapping, blood, gore, violence, brutality, and probably a lot more.***

"This is how it often goes, sold into captivity so long ago. This is how it often goes. God knows I would know." -Mothers (Lockjaw) As awful as it sounded, Josh's favourite letters were the ones that came from people who, for some reason, thought he'd want to be their boyfriend. That didn't make any sense to him. You'd have to be embarrassingly lonely to write love letters to someone who was slated to serve 76 years in prison. The sentiment was nice though.

"Pressure to go strike out on your own Pressure to learn from being alone Pressure to not leave it for too long Before you find another heart where you belong." -Julia Jacklin (Pressure to Party) This book is an au of my other stories, Lividity and Creek Blues. The characters are exactly the same, except they've been to therapy and have a bit more stability in their home lives. It can be read as a stand-alone fic too!
