they call me the most boring girl ever out in these streets

[applecrumb]

the clock is ticking in slow motion again. matilda finds herself working at scratch that after her shift has already ended. today is kinda bleh. first thing in the morning, she forgot her sketchbook at home ( tragedy ), but thankfully she didn’t forget her water-based markers ( salvation ). currently matilda doodles on her left arm, giving herself tiny tattoos as she mentally prays that no costumers bother her. still bleh, but a bit better. without much activity today, it’s easy for the artist to get lost inside her head, all her attention in detailing the drawings decorating her skin… but one thing about matilda, she can never have a moment of peace. it’s just her luck that today’s next shift is being covered by a certain someone who she is currently and always kind-of avoiding. her ears ring as his voice makes it way to the store. its coming from outside, and its only getting louder. shit, right! it’s monday and his shift is now. how did i forget that oh my god. like a mouse being chased by a broom, the girl quickly scurries away. now, hiding between aisles isn’t enough to escape all interaction, but at least she can pretend to be actually working, or- wait shit i actually have to stock this. matilda where is your mind today????? ignoring ozzy is not an easy task for the awkward worm, ( he has the ability to make her even more jumpy than usual ), but doing her boring job can be a good enough distraction. that lasts five minutes. the girl actually jumps when she hears ozzy’s voice behind her, oh no. he is too pretty. those blue eyes, they look particularly bright today, and when he smiles… god. he irritates her so fucking much.

here we go. is small talk reeeally necessary? can’t he just- wait. huh? the apology takes apple completely by surprise. does he really mean that? no, i don’t - oh right. matilda, it´s ozzy, he is joking more than likely. well... then i am screwed because i’m really not getting the joke at all. is it a weird sarcastic something? or… um. maybe he is just making fun of me. is that the joke? for the long seconds that matilda’s brain tries to decipher the situation, the girl silently stares. her hardware is in dire need of some updating,- “ um. sure, yeah… sorry, what is the punchline here? ”

who : @applecrumb where : scratch that records when : monday , when matilda's voluntary overtime from her morning shift has bled into ozzy's afternoon one

ozzy has a habit of speaking before he thinks , and with a few days to reflect on it , he has felt ... somewhat guilty about calling matilda back into the game of truth or dare when she was clearly trying to creep away during the party . he tends to forget that not everyone is as much of a party animal as himself , and that participating in ridiculousness is not part of everyone's modus operandi the way it is for him . this sudden bout of self awareness is what leads him to lean across the shelves to face matilda on the next aisle while she replenishes the stock , creating a buffer of lighthearted conversation before delivering a sheepish apology . " overtime , huh ?? your shift shoulda' ended a half hour ago . better make sure old man silvio pays you properly . don't let him conveniently ' forget ' , " he says , air quotes around the last word . " i wanted to say i'm sorry if you felt like i roped you into the game of truth or dare against your will , 'tilda . it was harmless fun but i'm just nervous that it made you uncomfortable ... " he rambles , wondering if his sincerity can ever be taken seriously when he's someone that's rarely ever not making a joke .

one minute matilda is quietly leaning against the wall; people-watching while her fingers lazily trace the outline of wooden planks behind her, and the next a surprised laugh escapes her lips as tate ( her very bestest friend in the whole wide world, according to a crayon-written letter made in pre-school ) tugs her towards the dance floor. “ we are dancing ? ” she mimics his words with loving amusement; “ tate i am not a dancer- ” with a smile the girl complains ( she has always been quite the shitty liar ), “ -and you know that! you know i´m so damn ungraceful that i´m not even... a "dan". ” oh such a stupid joke, knew it as soon she said it... but instead of the routine shame washing over her, matilda snorts ( which is an equally shameful thing to do ), and continues: “ you do realize that now you’ll have to commit to be, like… 200% good at dancing ? since i am in zeros. do you really want that responsibility ? ” oh, but with tate nothing could be shameful; not even a tiny-itty-bit embarrassing.

her dear friend shines, and around him, matilda feels lucky. a belief: that his light is so bright, it blinds. a cheesier belief: it even has the power to drown all her insecurities, at least for a moment. it’s like a force field, of sorts, or maybe like… like being sprayed by… pesticide! or, well, if they created a type of pesticide that made all the bugs smile and dance and have fun instead of… killing them. gosh it´s a good thing i´m not a poet. ( but the better analogy is much simpler. tate is the sun. )

𝙒𝙃𝙊  :  closed  for  @applecrumb  . 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏  :  event  001  —  in  celebration.

the  party  is  alive  (  and  a  little  sticky;  for  someone's  spilled  orange  soda  on  the  grimy  carpet  ),  the  pizza  is  almost  out,  and  the  smiths  are  crooning  about  charming  men  again.  tate's  in  a  good  mood  as  he  weaves  through  the  warm  haze  of  laughter  to  find  the  person  he's  been  looking  for  all  evening,  and  when  he  spots  her,  his  gentle  pace  breaks  out  into  an  unnecessary  jog  to  cross  the  rest  of  the  cramped  little  space.  "tilly!"  oh,  joy,  new  and  fresh,  voice  instilled  with  enough  warmth  to  make  a  stranger  think  he  hasn't  seen  his  best  friend  in  years  when  it's  really  only  been  a  few  hours  since  hearing  her  voice  last.  he  doesn't  bother  with  hellos—  why  greet  someone  you  never  intend  to  say  goodbye  to?—and  simply  reaches  for  her  hand,  already  halfway  tugging  her  toward  the  emptier  center  of  the  room.  "we're  dancing!"
