Okay, here's number 2! Well, number 1 if you don't count mine. LOL Well, I'll just let you know that this one shot/drabble takes place in modern day times! NOT 1899! Alex Torres was created for the Snyder High RPG, which takes place in the present time! So yeah, it was VERY difficult to change Alex to an 1899 character so I just left her the way she was because Sage decided to let me know that Dave Sheinkopf (the guy who played Morris Delancey) was on Design on a Dime and held up a paint can lid that had the color on it and sang, "I heard it through the grapevine". LOL So yeah, that's what inspired this one. Thank you Sagey! I hope you enjoy it!
Okay, I'm working on the others as the inspiration from reading their profiles! I'm working faster than I had thought! LOL I have started another one, but I'm stuck right now on it. Ugh! I hate it when that happens! Maybe the idea will hit me again after I get home from work tomorrow or something! I'm almost done with it! I just don't know how to word it! Ugh!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the musical Newsies.
I love the musical and that's why I'm a fic writer for this genre. I do
NOT own Morris Delancey, Oscar Delancey, or anyone else in this
collection of fics...only myself, the character Hair, and the character Jason Reed. So yeah...
Alex Torres belongs to Sage.
Morris Delancey was dragging his feet as he walked into his last period of the day: Psychology. Sitting down in his assigned seat and laying his head on his desk, a folded piece of paper hit him in the back of the head.
"Hey!" Morris snapped his head around and faced Jason Reed, a boy he didn't like too much.
Read it, he mouthed to him and then smirked as he pulled his psychology book up to hide his face.
Morris bent over to pick up the folded piece of paper that fell to the floor after it had hit him in the head, and casually opened it. Alex Torres likes you. Morris quickly wrote, Yeah, sure, under the already written statement Folding it back up, he quickly turned in his chair and flung it at Jason.
Jason gave a smirking Morris a glare while he fumbled to unfold the note that was just sent over to him. With a shake of his head, Jason wrote a quick reply and refolded the paper as he tossed it to a waiting Morris.
I'm serious. I dare you to ask her. Don't ask me for any more favors, though, was what Jason had written on the paper. Morris sent a glare over to Jason and just turned back around in his seat when the teacher finally called for the class to settle down.
As Morris listened to the teacher explain the topic for the day, Kleptomania, he found his gaze wandering over to the quarter profile of Alex Torres. He quickly snapped his attention back to the teacher. After the assignment was given, Morris situated himself in his seat.
Despite his occasional glances towards Alex, Morris quickly did the given assignment and began watching the clock when the last five minutes of the class started to tick away.
Four minutes...You've got to be kidding me! Time has to go faster than this!
Three minutes...Come on! My grandmother moves faster than you!
Two minutes...Okay, now Uncle Wease moves faster than this! You can't get much worse than that!
One minute...One more minute! Come on!
Thirty seconds...Morris practically had his butt out of the seat of the chair.
Fifteen seconds...He quickly gathered his book and notebook in his arms. Then slipped his pen in his pants pocket.
Ten seconds...Come on! For the love of-- Morris thought to himself. He didn't just want the school day to end but he was curious as to whether or not Alex Torres actually liked him.
Five...four...three...two...one...RING! Morris shot out of his chair and made a beeline for Alex Torres, who was gathering her things.
"Let me ask you something," Morris asked, but it sounded more like a command.
"Excuse me?" Alex replied, looking up at a straight-faced Morris.
"Do you like me?" he asked faster than he had planned for it to come out.
Alex blushed and turned back to her things. "What are you talking about?"
"Exactly what I asked," Morris replied with a grin forming on his lips as he already began to know the answer.
"Okay, so I do," she confessed.
Morris' grin shined at Alex. "I can't believe it!" He laughed to himself.
"How did you find out anyway?" she asked more willing to kill whoever told him than she was curious as to why he was seemingly excited.
"I heard it through the grapevine," Morris began to sing. "Not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey yeah."
