(with parrishczerny)
- noah asks to stop so he can pee 500 times. ronan’s ‘YOU CAN’T PEE YOU’RE DEAD’ gets increasingly more furious
- gansey drives until he literally can’t drive anymore and blue finally convinces him to give ronan the keys. ronan has never felt closer to her
- gansey and adam fall asleep together while ronan and blue continue to bond. duets may be involved.
- gansey and adam are SO CAREFUL not to let ronan bring music, but while they’re sleeping noah pops his head up between the seats and says ‘hey, remember that tape? you know. the special tape. just for this trip.’ and everyone else wakes up pissed to the murder squash song blasting
- ronan suggests they get a room at every single creepy motel they pass
- they agree to the first one but after the cockroach incident they’re never listening to ronan again (blue can’t look gansey in the eye for houRS afterward without laughing. adam waits for the perfect moments to make jokes about it. gansey doesn’t sleep after noah says ‘goodnight, don’t let the cockroaches bite’)
- everyone takes turns getting the snacks. gansey buys enough for fifteen people, all name brand. adam sticks to the cheap stuff. noah gets all candy. blue tries to sneak in something healthy. ronan comes back with two bags of energy drinks and nothing else.
- blue wants to take pictures of everything
- “Does it look like i’m holding it?” “you look like an idiot standing in the middle of a field.”
- the car breaks down at least once and adam rolls up his sleeves to fix it. ronan has to walk it off. noah follows him, sadly muttering about ‘poor adam, he was sweating so much, getting so dirty’ the whole time
- gansey says something stupid and blue gets out and starts walking, with him driving slowly beside her as she goes off on him, the others sinking low in their seats to avoid getting in her line of fire until noah gets out and walks with her and tells gansey they’ll meet them at the next rest stop
- by the time they meet up blue is laughing with noah and gansey has an apology written up
- ronan also suggests they pick up every murder-ey looking hitchhiker they pass
- backseat cuddling. ronan in the middle. blue on one side. adam on the other. noah: “GANSEY. YOUR PHONE. GET THE PHONE. THE PHONEEEE”
- (noah pretends to sleep sometimes just to get in on the backseat cuddlefests)
- the car breaks down again and noah/ronan/adam walk to the nearest town while blue and gansey sit on the hood of the car holding hands and looking at the stars
- “SHHHH BLUE IS SLEEPING” is uttered at least four different times.
