I came back up the hallway to find Liam sitting at the dining room table with his back to me. I rolled my eyes as I figured I knew what he was doing.

He was on his computer. That was definitely for sure. But what he was doing on it...my mind went straight to Twitter.

What else did he ever do?

"Blue." He said not turning to face me as I walked behind him towards the kitchen. "C'mere a minute."

"What?" I asked curiously as went and stood behind him and draped my arms around his neck.

"Read this for us please." He pointed at the screen. "Make sure my spelling's good and that."

"Okay."

I began reading it. It was an email to some news agency discussing the film and whether or not there was any more hope for an Oasis reunion. I supposed people had reason to believe there was given the release of the movie but still.

Our Kid's the reason why it won't happen.

"Does it sound alright?" He asked as I continued reading to myself.

"Yeah." I assured him. "You just need to clean it up a bit. You need a period here." I added it in. "And this 'i' needs to be capitalized. You can expand a bit here. This isn't Twitter. You're not limited in an email."

"Right." He continued typing a few more sentences. "Should I send it?"

"Yeah. If you're ready to."

He clicked his mouse and off it went. He got quiet again, returning to a different Internet browser.

I got my own laptop out and brought up Facebook and Wikipedia. Odd combo, I know, but I guess that's just how I rolled.

And of course, Word for writing.

"What's fanfiction?" Liam asked looking up from his computer and at me.

"A type of fiction where the writers use already created characters or real life people in their own stories. You should see the Oasis stuff."

His ears perked up at that. "What the fuck d'they write about us?"

"Mostly love triangles between you, Noel, and a girl. The girl can never decide which one of you she wants to be with."

"Me." He argued. "No contest there."

I rolled my eyes. "Then they take it a step further sometimes and come up with stories where you and Noel are in love with each other."

"You what?!"

"It's your own fault!" I pointed out. "With all the pictures of you kissing each other and stuff. And then what you said at Earls Court-"

"Fuck off!" He barked.

I waved my hand dismissively at him.

He pursed his lips at me.

"Hey! You asked."

"It's fuckin' bollocks, that. People shouldn't be usin' me name without fuckin' askin'!"

"Oh you know you like it!" I teased.

Author's Note:

Happy NaNoWriMo! I've had the draft for this set up since August and wrote it in about a half an hour today! I know I left out a lot of potential details. I thought about referencing people's stories but didn't want to leave anyone out. I also wrote this on my phone so that added to missing details but I just wanted to get it done so I can hopefully write something else tonight. I might go back and rework this one. We'll see what happens. Hope everyone enjoys this wonderful month! Thanks again for reading!
