One of the great things about Newsies is that there's a lot of room to build with the characters; while a few are very well developed in canon, plenty of others have only hints of personality that leave authors open to play and develop. Blink and Mush (the boys flirting in my icon) fall into the later category: while they're almost always floating around in the background of the movie, they have only a handful of lines between them. Yet they're among the "main six" characters in fandom.
This piece demonstrates why. It's a lovely, quiet piece that does a lot with Mush's POV and the way he views the world -- and especially the way he views Blink, and the relationship between them.
