*has acoustic version of "True Colors" on repeat*

I can't even go on until I've said this:
LOOK AT THE PRETTY HAIR OMG.
It's all flippy at the ends and the bangs are not retarded like usual and you add in the cheezer grin and I cannot.stop.staring. Also, Van has a crooked tooth like Gale and it makes me happy.

Okay, Luke getting his fanboy on? SO CUTE. I would bet money Van was thinking of every fan encounter he's ever had, heh. Makes me sad to think Luke got this cool newspaper assignment to interview Cyndi Lauper and then couldn't even squee about it to Noah. Life hard for a single gay reporter boy. :(
N: Let's step into your office--MY office.
C: My office, your office, it's all good.
N: Our office!
Something tells me that wasn't in the script. They both saved the scene and kept it going, hee. Then Cyndi calls him Luciano and I thought Luke was gonna have a stroke. CYNDI SAW INTO HIS SOUL DON'T YOU SEE. Well, his eyes anyway. The way he says that line MADE ME SNICKER SO HARD. Oh, Luke, you sweet, sweet cheeseball.
L: And I guess there are gay people everywhere and I guess I'm proof of that.
C: ...yeeeah! Ya gotta boyfriend, ya gotta story? :D
CYNDI!!! ♥ HER REACTION WAS SO PERFECT. That whole *pause as she realizes Luke just came out to her* then all :D :D :D with him.

This is the back of Tony's head. Tony is like Brian Light; all the yummy whoreyness, but only .0001% the commitment. Y'know, I'm realizing I have no real opinion on Tony either way, hmn. Other than him having good taste OBVIOUSLY, since his pants are hot for Noah.
T: Hey, Noah, right?
N: Yeah, how'd you know? Duh, the name tag, right.
AHAHAHAHAHA. *squishes Noah* Also, I miss just!Noah scenes like these. Hopefully he'll have his own storyline pretty soonish.

Go, No-ah! Go, No-ah! The dancing didn't traumatize me, pbbt. I mean, he was on the beat at least, but then, it makes sense to me that Noah wouldn't be a dance machine. Of course, I'm the girl who thinks Brian can dance adlfaj.

N: You wanna get outta here?
T: OKAYYEAH!!!!!
Noah looks so angry saying it in the cap alkla. He really wasn't in the scene, though. Just freaking out a bit. Y'know, I'm not even sure Noah knew this was a quasi date alkfa. Tony, on the other hand, is so thinking, "Ride me, big boy, rrrwowrrr."

Snuggling! *takes a moment to daydream I'm Cyndi* The serenade thingie coulda been so v. cheesy and, well, okay, IT WAS cheesy, but, man, it was really GREAT cheesy. AND L/N HAVE THEIR OWN SONG NOW!
I'm still bummed Justin never got to have a heart-to-heart like this with Cyndi about him and Brian. But an exploding club kinda divides your attention like that, y'know.

Emo!Noah, you're killing me. :(( The camera panning to him during the "you can call me up, because you know I'll be there" lyrics, after Luke had said pretty much exactly that the last time they'd talked... ow, my heart. He was just so *need my Luke*.

Cyndi hits that high note like a pro. Band guy does not seem as impressed as Luke and I. :P

The cuteness. ♥

N: We need to talk.
Ree: OMGYESYESYESFINALLY!
Also, that is the first time they've touched in forever. Or, y'know, days. Whatever. Seems like forever to me.

N: The only one I want to be with is you.
L: What made you change your mind?
N: You were right all along, Luke. We do belong together. I'm sorry things got so messed up. But all I want is this.
AND THEN THERE WAS NECK GRABBING AND KISSAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE SMACKAGE OF LIPS I KID YOU NOT. Noah going in for the kill there reminded me of their first kiss, where Noah just swooped in. Usually Luke is the grabber, but this ep, Noah did the grabbing--twice! Also, that is one serious cowlick, Van. ♥

This is pre-kiss, but I love this cap so much. The anticipation on Luke's face, that whole *I've missed this* on this face. ♥ And later Luke said, "...I'd like you to meet the love of my life, Noah Mayer." LOVE OF HIS LIFE PEOPLE! Not that we didn't already know this, but still made me giddy. ;D

L: I can't believe that this is happening!
N: What, that you met Cyndi Lauper?
ALKFDJAL. Noah, you dork.
HAPPY BOYS! Even cuter cos Cyndi's all "HI!" off-screen and it makes Van laugh adlfja. AND OMG. Right before this, Luke led Noah up to Cyndi who's signing autographs and just starts talking to her. YOU KNOW IN RL THE FANGIRLS AND BOYS WOULD'VE BEEN ALL "NO CUTS BITCH!"

L: Like, can you believe it? How long have we waited for this moment and it's finally here. And this might be a first, but no one's staying at the farm tonight. I want you to come home with me.
Ree: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
N: I'm, I'm sorry, Luke. We, we can't.
Ree: WHAT.
L: Why not? I just said that no one's staying at the farm tonight.
N: Well, that's... that's not the problem.
Ree: THE.
L: Then what is? Don't you want to be with me?
N: More than anything. I do. It's just... I can't. It's late. I have to go.
Ree: HELL.
L: Go where?
N: I enlisted. In the Army.

Luke and I had this same WTF reaction. :| The Army just makes no sense. And yet I understand Noah's decision. My brain hurts, y'all. :(

Look how hard he's trying to get Luke to understand. :( Of course, this little Army news sure does add a whole nother layer to his *need my Luke* emo earlier. There Luke is and Noah's imagining leaving for the Army without Luke knowing just how much he was loved, etc. Not to mention Luke finding someone else while he was gone. Not that I think that would've happened as quickly as Noah's thinking, but still.
L: Do you really think it's the right thing? Cos your father was always trying to pressure you to join and you were always like 'That's the last thing I'd want to do'.
N: Yeah, well, I changed my mind.
L: Noah...
The way Luke says Noah's name there got me. :(
L: ...this doesn't make any sense. If you're trying to make your father proud of you after the fact--
N: Maybe I'm trying to make myself feel proud.
L: No. No, you're not. This is about your father. And, Noah, I'm sorry, he's dead. You don't have to keep proving yourself to him.
N: 'kay, it's not like that. I can see more clearly now. Growing up the way I did, around the military my whole life, I understand why it was an appealing life for my father. And I understand why it could be a good thing for me, too. I mean, it answers a lot of questions. I'm feeling pretty lost and confused right now and I would like to be in a place where was, I don't know, a clear set of rules. Where I knew what was expected of me and where I felt secure.
L: Why can't you feel that way with me?
Ree: *broken*
I heart Luke for trying to talk sense into Noah. At the same time, if I were Noah, I'd be annoyed at Luke for constantly telling me what I feel.

L: ...and honestly, I don't think you're cut out for the Army.
N: *snort* You know, Sergeant Davis, my recruiter, thinks I'd make a fine soldier.
L: Oh, yeah? Did you tell Officer Davis that you're gay?
ALDFKAJSDLKJ SNARKY!LUKE'S FACE. And I know he's grasping onto anything at this point, but I simultaneously want to smack the back of Noah's head and hug him for believing a recruiter. Even if the recruiter is right. Hi, I'm Ree. I'm all conflicted. :\

L: Noah, please, this is a really really really big decision. Can't you give it some more time? Think about it a little?
N: Too late, okay. I already signed the preliminary papers. I'm heading out to the processing station in Chicago tomorrow.
L: I can't believe this. We can finally be together, after everything we've been through, after all the crap we were dealt. And you're leaving me.
N: I'm sorry, Luke. I have to. Just, just try and understand.
L: *breathy/whimpered* No...
L/N: *desperate kiss with neck holding and everything*
R: *broken into a million pieces*
Also, why did Noah have to leave rightthatsecond? I've watched old romantic war movies, dammit, and that was the PERFECT set-up for a super-romantic evening together. *grumps*

*sniff* Luke grabbing onto Noah's head to keep him there and Noah having to pull Luke's hand away. OMG. SO SAD/SWEET. :( One day their kisses even might be open-mouthed. Notice the American flag in the background of the Army ep, heh.

So, hey, turns out had Noah come back to the farm to hump like gay bunnies with Luke, it woulda just been awwwkward. Holden was home. Of course, he was.

L: How can I let Noah do this to himself?
H: There's one simple answer to that: You can't.
HOLDEN TOLD LUKE TO GO AFTER HIS MAN. \:D/ Or G.I. Noah, as I'm going to be calling him now, heh. If nothing else, maybe we'll get some uniform scenes. *prays* And, yeah, I get why Luke was ticked off about being in the dark, but, um, they weren't together when Noah made this decision. Also, I kept expecting Holden to acknowledge that Luke called Noah his "boyfriend" again, heh. No more "break"! :D

Just 'cos he's so freakin'...

...adorable!

His "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" face aldfkja.
