@zerocel And I Are Right And You Cant Tell Us Otherwise

@zerocel and i are right and you can’t tell us otherwise

this is a little dark but 🤷‍♂️

imagine cal carving andre’s initials onto his hip. he’d show andre the next time they hang out, telling the dark haired boy that it’s only fair he does the same. cal sits back and watches andre’s face contort with pain as he makes a big red CG on his hip. when andre’s done, cal immediately bombards him with compliments. andre begins to associate the pain with cal being proud of him. he would do whatever he had to, go through however much pain, to make cal happy.

every summer cal’s family goes camping (literally shown in the movie) but sometimes andre comes along. one time he and cal snuck off to the lake at night and swam together. they laid on the dock for a while, swatting away bugs and dodging any of them that got too close. the last time they jumped in the water, they found each other before coming back up. they held onto each other and came to the surface in each other’s embrace.

their legs kicked together, keeping them above water, but neither of them minded. any bruises they got on their shins would be worth it. the cold water meant nothing as their bodies were fire and their touch was fuel.

as the sun rose, painting the sky in warm hues, andre and cal got out of the water. their way back to their tent was fueled with laughter when one of the boys tripped and hisses when they stepped on rocks. their tired muscles and minds were absolutely worth it; that night would stay in their minds forever.

op disabled reblogs so whatever my ask game now.

Cal and Andre: Twin Flames.

A look into the use of fire in Zero Day.

Fire is a very important symbol within Zero Day, especially towards the end. Two major points that involve fire are the burning of Cal and Andre’s belongings and the burning of their crosses. While these scenes utilize the same symbol, they are exponentially different.

The scene in which Cal and Andre burn their belongings a couple days before Zero Day represents a melting of two souls into one, a merging of two people who are about to secure their places in history together. The boys stand next to each other, acknowledging that they will no longer be known as Cal or Andre but instead as Cal and Andre. This fire is a symbol of birth, of the creation of a new idea and being.

The scene in which Cal and Andre’s crosses are burned are represents a separation, a divorce of sorts. The monuments that constitute the boys’ lives are yards apart from one another. Instead of dying together on the floor of the school, blood and brains mixing together, someone else has taken their deaths, even if figuratively, into their own hands. This fire is a symbol of death, of the destruction of something great and dangerous.
