Obsessing Over Ej Just Staring At Gina And Admiring That Fact That She's Right In Front Of Him After

obsessing over ej just staring at gina and admiring that fact that she's right in front of him after her adorable little snort in 2x08.

THEY'RE ADORABLE

the power that ej and gina playing troy and gabriella would have held….we could not have handled it

portwell finale kiss? yes, i want it. but you know what i really want? s3 camp!portwell constantly holding each other, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, soft kisses/hugs goodnight, gina on ej’s shoulders playing chicken, run-and-jump hugs, piggyback rides. give me all the fluffy, cutesy shenanigans possible bc these two deserve it.

don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love the possibility of a something there comparison to summer nights from grease. but i also love the idea of making it sorta like everyday from hsm2.

picture this: an open stage. seb on the piano. gina gets pushed to center stage similarly to kourtney in 1x08 and is asked to sing a song from the show in order to test the microphone system/for another reason because maybe ash and ricky are busy brainstorming ideas. she sings the first verse of something there.

suddenly, she hears another voice singing the beast's part. ej walks onto the stage from the other side, microphone in hand. he goes to gina and they stand inches apart. they stare into each others eyes, ej takes her hand, and as gina begins to sing new, and a bit alarming... the lights go down and they are the only people visible. like during nini's audition in 1x01 or lily's solo during belle in 2x02, the camera spins around showing them from all different angles.

suddenly the lights turn back on and everyone on the stage is in absolute shock, their mouths open.

EJ asking Gina out for risotto is SUCH a fanfic move and I L O V E it. Also the not that I know of line? Like the writers went above and beyond with the parallels, tropes and references for portwell. And no one can convince me that it's not for a reason.

risotto night

i'm not sure if they will actually show the portwell date happening in the show, but if they did, here's how i think it should go:

location: fancy italian restaurant (because i don't think salt lake slices has risotto lmao)

ash helps gina get ready and she looks absolutely gorgeous. as she finishes up, the doorbell rings. ash runs to get the door. it's ej all dressed up. she starts squealing with happiness and motions for him to come in and sit down. she tells him how happy she is for both of them and warns him not to hurt her. just then, gina comes into the room. ej's face lights up and he stands to go to her. he tells her how beautiful she looks and hugs her. gina smiles fondly, ash standing behind them looking like a proud mother with a daughter. she jokingly tells them to be home by 11. they go out to ej's car.

at the restaurant, they sit in a corner by the window. the lights are dim and the walls are covered with vines and exposed brick to add to the ambiance. they order 2 bowls of risotto.

as they wait for their food, gina and ej reminisce all of their little moments together and gina expresses once again how grateful she is to have him. ej responds by saying that having her in his life makes him so much happier than he could've ever imagined.

as they leave the restaurant and drive back to ash's house, they talk about what a magical night this was and gush over the food. as gina is about to head out of the car, she says something along the lines of:

i'm still in shock that you remembered risotto night at north high and gives him a soft kiss on the cheek.

with a smile, ej says: you know i would never miss risotto night

now picture this, but with the something there instrumental playing in the background. boom.
