Elusive Dreaming

Minor Inconvenience- The Yard

Warning:Trauma, Hollywood Kid, Swearing, Adoption

The Yard x Gender Neutral Reader

As you sat in Ludwig Aghren’s attic with a microphone and a few lawn chairs covering the fake grass. Talking about random things with the boys, as a young kid compared to them.” This week we have someone replacing Aiden because he was apparently to busy.” Ludwig introduces “Hey!” You say as the camera pans to you. “Before I introduce myself I would like to mention the fact that QT was ready to adopt me the moment I walked through the door.” You said laughing “Damn Lud this kid is about to steal yo girl.” Nick laughed leaning forward in his seat.

“You wouldn't last a week here kiddo.” Slime challenge “Oh shut it grandpa.” You restored back a smile appeared on his face. “Yes, young grasshopper.” Slime spoke as everyone chuckled.

“What the fuck- kid your cool.” Nick says “I don’t know ask Ludwig’s mom.” You joke about getting a bit more comfortable in your seat. “Damn, I like this kid.” Nick replies.

“Segwaying into our next topic. How is it working with celebrities all day?” Silme asked “Um, it’s okay but I have been doing it since I was about eight or nine.” you say  “Wait- really” Ludwig stopped

“Yes, I started for Disney and Nickelodeon now I work with both with the occasional Netflix and CW. Sometimes I work with other companies dumping on the movie or show.” You say looking at the rest of the adults who are flabbergasted . “What shows may I ask?” Nick asked “ None that you would of had growing up.” You bluntly reply

“Anyways when I was younger I worked on quite a few shows” you continued “Is it okay for you to say what you are working on now?” Ludwig asked they all seemed integrated by your work history. “I currently work on Shazam two, Lucifer,and a few others I can’t say.” You respond to the best of your ability. “So what is it you exactly do?” Nick pipes in “I am a movement coordinator. Basically the movements superheroes do as well as the dancing I help with and stunt work.” You explain “So what does this entail exactly?” Ludwig asks

“A Lot of movement is physically taxing but I have been doin it for so long. They never tell you what you are working on. Unless you get lucky you get told the basics. For example I get thrown in a room and all I am told is superhero, female, sometimes a power.” You say “Can you go deeper? because this is quite interesting.” Nick says

“Absolutely! Since I was little they put me in a room and I used to be the double or a dummy. However, now I help with movement. Recently I was in  a room with Jack Dylan Grazer and Asher Angel working on Shazam. They play kids but also superheroes.

Therefore, I asked Asher to pretend he was teleporting which isn’t an ability he has but it can help with learning to fly. So he spreads his feet apart and holds onto his sides squeezing his hands into fists and jumps ever so slightly. Which can be sussed when he flies or moves as a character.” You continue “As interesting as this is we have a sponsor which is Better Help because sometimes existing is exhausting.” Ludwig cuts

“Now onto the rest of the podcast.” Slime cuts back. “As we reach the halfway mark of this podcast we must know how does it feel to be the youngest person to ever be on this podcast?” Ludwig asks “Pretty okay other than the fact you all have been refraining because of me this entire podcast.” You honestly answer. “What does that mean?” Nick asks

“Not to much cursing, or sexual jokes unless from me, not once have any of you mentioned Ludwig’s dogs. See that is the good thing about working on something that has previous episodes or a previous movie. You can do your research beforehand.” You say “You are in fact a minor therefore, I do not know if we can say anything.” Slime says “It’s fine I don;t think this week's guardian will care.” You mention “What do you do for fun?” Ludwig asks “Other than Ludwigs mom, not much I like to create things.

I brought cookies for QT.” You respond “Am I getting close enough to george’s record yet Ludwig?” You ask “Not yet but I will call my mother soon enough. “Fine by me.” You remark “Next up we have the ever so important topic love interests. Do you have any other than Lud’s mom?” Silme says

“As a teenager I feel love is hopeless, therefore I did not before I could ever get a patrener all my friends did. Their breakups were enough to make me not want to until maybe college.” You resonated with the fact that you had been through enough breakups without ever having a partner.

“That actually makes sense and is very mature.” Nick said “Other than my random quick crushes on random celebires I decided I would rather find love with someone else after I have found it in myself.” You say “Kids these days man.” Ludwig replied “You just aged all of you by saying that.” You responded and the heartfelt moment was gone.

“Kids these days,” Ludwig sarcastically remarked, sighing as he put his head in his hands dramatically. “Aye yo- I can still steal your girlfriend tonight buddy.” You respond jokingly “To be fair Lud QT does love them.” Slime said, feeding into the bite. “I mean she did say she wanted to adopt them today.” Nick piped in pushing Ludwig’s buttons. “Really you two are feeding into this shit to.” Ludwig exagrates “I’m sorry don’t mean to tag team you''Dad".” You remark sarcastically, “That’s just a weird kid.” Ludwig says and he was correct. “As we wrap up this episode of the yard, how would you like to rate this experience?: Nick asks

“It’s fine I guess I mean ya’ll are cool and I would personally like to thank Ludwig’s Mom and QT Cinderella.” You say and with that the video ends. “Good job kiddo.” Slime says patting you on the back awkwardly as he leaves the attic.

“Do you think they'll like me?” You ask Ludwig privately after everyone leaves. “Yes I am sure they will. And if they don't have tough luck because you are a part of this family now. If you don’t want to do anymore videos or recordings of any kind you don’t have to.” Ludwig reassures you going in for a hug and you stiffen up “Still not a hugger, that is okay.” Ludwig says “By the way when you called me dad back there were you for real?” Ludwig asks you to pick up the last microphone.

“ Of Course I did, dad, now I’m going to go help mom make cookies for the truck.” You reply “Okay kid-” Ludwig says “If you can sneak a cookie or two, I know dad.” You finish heading downstairs.

A/N: I kinda want to play more with this narritve and go into the backstory a bit more. So if you all like it I will.
