“remember when we said we were gonna work on that song.” nico says as he tries to throw a banana peel right in front of zito’s chosen mario kart character. “but beating you at mario kart is obviously also very important.”

nico still couldn’t quite believe he was in a band again. there was a specific kind of adrenaline rush that he got from playing with other people, friends specifically. it was yet another rush entirely to play with his band and have charlie watching from the sidelines as they practised. charlie had never really seen him with his old band, which was a weird feeling. there would always be this entire part of his life that happened away from her, when the rest of it was so intertwined with his. but he only had himself to blame for that, of course. with the adrenaline still rushing through his veins as they finish up band practise, nico put his bass down to make his way over to charlie, throwing one arm around her shoulders to pull her into him, as he used to do back when they were kids. as he has done so many times in the past few months. but just as he’s about to kiss her, as he usually does, he suddenly changes directions, his lips landing on her forehead instead. perfectly platonic, right, he thinks, glancing at the rest of his band over his shoulder. because that’s still what they are, to the rest of the world, just friends. far be it from him to put charlie in an uncomfortable position by ruining that perfectly platonic friendship now by kissing her. “so how terrible were we?”

Fawn only lifted their hand to Nico is silent agreement as he spoke, as if a silent ‘See? I knew it.’ Things might get a little crowded with two animals in the house… Plus, they’d never owned a pet before in the first place and things could easily get out of their control, “Of course they come in black,” Fawn replied, as if they were talking about a piece of clothing,” Either that, or there’s always fur-safe dye. I was kinda thinking something small and quiet though… Like a little bulldog or frenchie. Maybe a mutt,” The book lover sighed deeply and rested their chin in their hands, “I think our house should just scream ‘Emo Kids circa 2012′ all the time.”

“if i would dye my dog’s fur, i would dye it blue, not black. and then i’d dye my own hair blue too, so we’d match.” nico reasoned. he’d dyed his hair blue a couple of times before, it was his favorite color and he thought it would be pretty cool to match with your pet like that. “something small is probably better. i don’t think we’d be able to handle a big dog in this apartment.” nico looked around their home, thinking of the havoc a big dog running around could cause. “i like mutts, it’s like... like no one is going to have the same dog as you because it’s a totally unique combination. we should go look at what they have at the shelter maybe.”

                 a little squeak escaped charlie’s smiling lips as she was pulled down on her bed with nico, and rolled on her back the moment she was down. she scrunched her nose when she felt him kiss it, and a big swarm of butterflies ruptured in her stomach because of how softly adorable that was. even after all this time, even when they pretended like there was nothing going on between them, when they acted like they were just friends who had fun sometimes… it still felt like nothing changed at all between them. she kissed him back, and it was like they were together again. like there wasn’t a wall that reminded her that they were just two friends once again. “it’s okay. we’ve got the whole day, anyway.” she smiled widely at him. charlie really couldn’t help it anymore. she kissed him once more. “you know, i could be sleeping more right now. if it wasn’t for you waking me up for a parade that we aren’t gonna go to anymore.” she joked. 

nico laughed, burying his face in the crook of charlie’s neck. “i really planned to get to the parade early. it’s tradition!” he argued. “i can’t help getting distracted.” he followed his words by placing a kiss just below her jaw. “and like you said...” he lifted his head, leaning on one elbow to hover above charlie while he carefully brushed some loose strands of hair out of her face, “we have the whole day. we can celebrate pride whenever we want.” nico was beaming down on her with a soft smile, and for a moment he simply forgot that they weren’t together anymore. he guessed this was his own fault, thinking he could hook up and still also be just friends. like he didn’t feel the same way about charlie now as he’d done since he was a teenager. but as per usual, he pushed all of those feelings down and carried on the conversation like normal. “technically we’re celebrating pride right now. this is very gay of us.”

“I may regret asking this… So don’t go getting any ideas in your head,” It was late evening and Fawn was simply exhausted as they plopped down on the couch. And yet, as business was slow as hell at the bookstore that day, they’d had the opportunity to think to themself quite a bit, for many, many hours. “What would you say to getting a dog? Or a little kitty?” After all, with two neat freaks in the apartment, surely it wouldn’t be too hard to take care of…

@ofcampbell

nico’s head snapped up from where he was watching tv, looking at fawn instead trying to decipher what they were about to say by the look on their face, which he wasn’t succeeding at in the slightest. his face broke into a bright smile when they finally spoke again. “well there’s bora’s cat of course but i’ve always wanted a dog. i’ve been told i have golden retriever energy but... emo. black golden retrievers don’t exist right?” he wondered out loud. this late at night, his thoughts were usually a bit scattered, especially since it was his night off and he had been dozing on the couch. “not sure what bora would think, though it’s two against one, so... besides who doesn’t love dogs?”

do you get worried if you and charlie got back together, it would go wrong again somehow in the long run?

'nah because now i'm not a dumbass or a coward.'

[ofcampbell]

do you believe in soulmates?

'i think soulmates is something you create, rather than some sort of destiny of fate. sometimes you just meet people you really click with, but then you still have to put in effort to make things work.'

his duality should be illegal 😤

hana let out a snort of laughter, nodding her agreement as her eyes quickly surveyed the crowds of loud college students.   “i celebrated finals being over with a nap,”   she commented, shaking her head.   “ugh, definitely keep that hug to yourself. the sentiment is enough for me.”   smirking slightly, she leant her elbows on the bar, resting her head in her hands.   “the pasta might be a little cold now, but it should still taste good.”

“ah, my type of celebration.” nico said, although he’d been dragged to his fair share of frat parties back when he went to college. he liked parties fine, but he was always the first one to go home out of his friends. “smart choice...” he glanced down at the wet beer stain on his shirt. “cold pasta is fine with me. tonight has been crazy and i forgot to bring my own food. i thought i’d be able to slip out and get some... guess not.” he shot a meaningful look toward the crowd before looking back at hana. “did you come all the way over here just to bring me pasta?”

                  charlie put the hot mug down and let him pull her closer to him with a little smile on her face. her arms naturally went around his neck, and she tilted her head as if she was thinking. “maybe.” she grinned down at nico, and moved a piece of long hair away from his eyes. “i just think it’s a little too early to be going to the parade. it can wait…”

“mmh...” he said, as if considering what charlie had just said. “maybe you’re right.” his arms slid around her waist. “it is really early isn’t it. and it’s not as we haven’t seen the parade before... we wouldn’t be missing that much.” with that, he let himself fall back onto the bed, pulling charlie down with him while laughing. he placed a kiss on the tip of her nose, before actually dipping his head down to properly kiss her. “i’m not sure if we’re ever going to make it to the parade to be honest.”
