Flirting, Fighting and Faking Your Way Through College Pt.2

A/N: Yes, I know I’m a dirty fucking liar but like I got inspired so fuck you. This is actually trash though so a third part will still come out on the set date 💜

Summary: Roman gets a taste of his own medicine and Virgil gets desperate for help. Oh and we meet some new friends.

Story Text:

It was a Thursday morning on campus and, even if none of them knew it yet, it was going to be one hell of a day. Roman Prince woke up early that morning and put on running clothes, might as well make the most of the cool weather, he thought. So, decked out in nothing but sweatpants, joggers and a iPhone armband he left his room and ran out into the dark of the day. What he did not expect was to run right into one Virgil Salem on his way back to the dorm. Literally...right into. “Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry, I- wait, panic at the everywhere, is that you?!” He said in shock. Virgil groaned in pain. “Yes it is Princey, but it won’t be for long if you don’t get the fuck off me!” The aforementioned Princey turned as red as his trackpants and basically jumped off the emo. “Wow Roman, real charming of you,” Virgil said hauling himself up.

“Sorry,” he said, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah well-“ the short man cut himself off, flushing an adorable pink colour. At least, adorable to Roman, Virgil cursed himself in this moment for the blush. “W-where is your shirt?” He stuttered and Ro grinned, a stupid, smug, shit-eating grin, and leaned in close. “Why stormcloud? It bother you?” Virgil, slowly dying of gay panic, shuddered under the gaze before composing himself. Roman was gonna pay for that. “ ‘course not Roro, I just thought you might be cold,” he said innocently, slowly leaning into the other man’s space “You know it’s a lot warmer in my room,” and with that, their faces barely an inch apart, Virgil leaned in and booped his nose, turning on his heel and walking off into the early morning light. Roman Prince however, stood, perfectly in place and redder than a tomato for a good 30 seconds. Then he ran up to his room and took a cold shower.

By the time Wednesday came, Roman actually had the upper hand in this battle of theirs. Virgil was frustrated and so were his other dormmates, for a different reason though. “Virgil Raine Terrance Salem, you are a gay mess and the world can see it,” Dee said matter-o-factly, coming out of his room to the sight of V and Remy talking in hushed tones. Virgil shot him a glare at the use of his full name, while Remy simply laughed and chucked the obnoxious man a bottle of cold brew. “Hun as true as that is, we’re in the middle of fixing that. Not that you can talk snake face,” Dee ran a hand over the snake scales tattooed on the left side of his face before smirking. “You love it,”

“Unfortunately yes, I do. Now shoo bitch, there’s Roman tea and gurl I am not missing it for your shit,” Remy laughed, waving a hand dismissively. Dee gave the gossipy man a peck on the cheek before heading for the door. “Byebye Remington,”

“Uggh, bye babes,” And the door clicked shut.

Virgil coughed “um, hello, earth to bitchface, hello, Remy, anybody home?”

“Oh yeah, that’s right hun we were talking about Roman, that’s right,” Remy said tearing his eyes away from the doorway.

“Yeah. We were. Help,”

“Look you want my advice, do what you’re doing but slowly turn up the heat. Be the one to initiate it, show the bitch who’s boss, then he’ll have to date you or at least he’ll really wanna fuck you. Either way, win-win I say,”

“REMY,” V basically screamed, throwing an empty Starbucks cup at his head.

“Or, here’s a thought, you could just ask him out,” said a voice from the hall.

Virgil fell off his stool. “AAAHH! Oh my GOODNESS! EMILE! For god’s sake, man!”

“Oops, didn’t mean to spook ya kiddo. A little birdie told me you had it bad for our resident prince,”

Remy, who’d finally stopped laughing, wiped a tear from his eye and turned to face the senior. “Your little brother really tells you everything doesn’t he, babes?”

Emile shook his head with a chuckle and helped Virgil up. “Patton only tells me what I need to know,”

Virgil glared at the two. “Neither of you are helping,”

“Hey!” Emile said, feigning offense. “What’s wrong with my approach?”

Virgil simply gestured to himself and raised a skeptical eyebrow.

“Fine, ignore the double Psychiatry major, I have an optional lecture I could go to now anyway,”

Virgil sighed. “Emile, I’m sorry please stay! I need help!”

“Bitch, what am I? An incredibly attractive and talented RUG?”

“A drama queen Remy, that’s what,”

summer 2019 anime sum-up

lmao i realized i never did this and posted the fall season b4 this.... oops

kimetsu no yaiba: tbh started out kinda meh. and now it’s turned into one of the new big shounens. i was not expecting that. nearing the end got rly good and i was rly looking forward to more episodes! tanjiro gets cooler and cooler! animation is rly nice (thanks ufotable) and the way tanjiro’s water is animated. like. aesthetic asf. it’s so good. i love black-haired emo dude and zenitsu (my spirit animal) and ofc nezuko she is adorable im c r y. side note: the hashira? i think they’re called? some of the ugliest fkn characters i’ve seen in ages like flame boy? stone boy? i HATE them. and the gem dude too like man get a new tattoo artist on god.... he needs it.,,,,,,and inosuke is so pretty it’s unfair

dr stone: ok man dr stone rly went off. tbh. i’ve always been a whore for chemistry since reading the flavia de luce series (btw, i want more books of) and watching this just tickles my noodle brain in a good way... who needs prozac when i get a shitton of serotonin from watching senku dick around....  (btw what is going on with what’s his face and the girl. yuzuriha????? i can’t remember. i love senku don’t get me wrong but i need their perspective too... bc i hate lion dude... so much.... dick....) again i will repeat that i am a whore for chemistry so i get oFF on this. backgrounds are amazing/ animation so nice n clean (most o the time lmao). i thought i would hate the black n white haired trickster boi and ms yellow ponytail and suika but no! dr stone is such a good show that they are now great, loveable characters. also i am senku and chrome’s whore so jfc. man, i love the explanations of all the chemistry shabang, but some things i think would be better if explained! like senku doing physical labour at the beginning- ex. making all those pots and building that shit by hisself. i know he weak af. yes he smart but like. construction? difficult. pottery? even for me the artist . difficult. and that shed of his was filled to the brim. HOW. anyways, i love this so much i am crying constantly

just realized i didnt need to write about dr stone. oh well. 

danmachi 2: wtf yo. haruhime is so pretty but not a fan of her personality! bell still cute af and still don’t rly like aiz! animation good as always, and my god i shit myself whenever the argonaut theme starts up bc that is ? one of the best pieces of non-sawano hiroyuki pieces i’ve ever heard? addicted to it. and the opening! love the dynamics, the brief ‘rain’ scenes like when mikoto slashes the raindrops and just her motion basically? as an animator that is what i aspire to accomplish because i just love that. tiny little scene. 

arifureta: this would have been so much better had they dragged out mc’s op-ifying process! made him suffer more! i explained this briefly in my ‘first thoughts’ post for this season, but story-wise and pacing-wise his power-up could have been so much more deserved and gratifying. think shield hero- loser suffers, gets angry, slowly builds up power in an epic payoff! would have been so epic too. and also if they’d made his gained powers less.... crazy nerfed. again: HE SHOULD HAVE SUFFERED MORE AND THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER SHOW. harem thoughts: yue- meh. sucky char honestly. shea- my fav girl, she is a great character don’t judge- sexy and love her personality and love her character design and love how much fanservice she gets lol. panty flash ftw. dragon girl- discount darkness honestly , tho nice design. and mermaid girl- yuck, annoying,  DO NOT like the ‘papa’ trope! (ahem sao.) it’s gross. also just fuck mc’s classmates honestly- paladin dude sucks ass, healer girl OOF that last episode ruined her, samurai girl is ok i guess. hate ai-sensei too like shut UPP annoying ass HOEEEEE (postscript: opening=very epic too)

kanata no astra: plot twist? check. trillion well-done plot twists? check. this was done very well. i am so happy. all those plot twists and turns would usually suck in any regular anime- but this was written with GODLIKE ability. thank you, lerche. legit, this was such an enjoyable ride, i eagerly awaited each new ep! typically i hate space-related stuff but like! survival stuff gets my goat.... like this was good- (tho maybe more technical-stuff in the survival theme would make it so cooler) what shocked me the most: (spoilers alert) didn’t end up hating quitterie or funi. (tho the puppet made me want to strangle smth) luca’s gender had rly confused me but i’d decided on him being a boy- so basically that reveal left me like WHOA. i died. did luca rly have to show emo boy their tity tho... kanata losing his arm gave me the yeeeks, charce being the traitor was made sO WELL into a surprise even tho i’d kinda already suspected him<- like that was just fucking amazing writing there. gj. and ares the princess! ok man! shocked! AND also the whole clone thing, just fucked me right up. up the ass. like there are probably more plot twist layers in this than a fkn ogre has.... anyway shrek aside, yun?’s character arc was very pleasing, i think that was done very well! and the ending made me UwU like BRO? goals tbh. yeah this is a hidden gem and is just so good, so well-written overall. 

cop craft: didn’t have high expectations. i am now,,, quite,,, shocked &,,, blown away. sweetheart this is a good fucking show. so why @ livechart.me DOES IT HAVE 7.40 STARS WHEN FKN ARIFURETA HAS 7.72. can someone explain this to me? i’m outraged. LIVID.  matoba and tilarna were amazing characters btw! loved their dynamic! briefly i thought it might get romantic! nope, it didn’t, so it’s all good. actions scenes were epic, tilarna’s design and outfits were so much nicer than i thought they’d be like. she is so cute. and the op- man, if that is not such a bopper vibe then idk what is. i could watch it forever. it deserves so much more than what it’s got rn.

naka no hito genome: (serious question: is this considered some sort of isekai?) genome gave me btooom vibes honestly but like- this is SO much better than btooom and most game/trap/ kinda shows. fkn BOP of an op, especially the sequence at the end with short clips of each character in action (nutt). paka-san was a good boy and he deserves irl merch. i fell in LOve with all the characters (bubble boy= hot, akatsuki= ok meh actually kinda boring, karin= hot and i want her to punch me, ruromori= beautiful 12/10 would let her stalk me, sleepy eyes boy= baby + dazai vibes and hot af, twin boy= also hot, onigasaki= hot and love him so much, and loli girl= her light grenades got annoying but nice char design) anyways yeah more of this would be epic. i wanna see sakura and her twin reunite, and how they get out basically! also animation quality was very good which is surprising considering it’s a silver link anime.

kono yo no hate de koi wo utau shoujo yu-no: i include the whole title bc this is a good anime. (also livechart.me why 7.27 stars i will fuck you up) only meh part of this is the return to earth from dela granto bc that was like a culture shock and honestly at that point i’d forgotten a lot about what had happened on earth and didn’t care as much. btw, f ayumi and f the other brown-haired oneesan. mio and kanna ftw. obvs i didn’t understand the sayless x takuya thing like dumbass horny teenager . why u gotta creampie the worst girl. u have mio. bruh. (tho mio x ‘oyabi!’ boy is a great ship) also, takuya’s mom? keiko-san? idk if you’ve noticed but that’s literally my name so yeah just glad to finally have some keiko representation. altogether goodass anime. the time travel/ rezero esque reset thing almost got me but this was done well. so no problems. both ops very good. first song was bae, second also bae (just realized it’s by konomi suzuki, one of my waifu idols, so yea nice) and ed2 also so pretty! also yu-no’s design was rly pretty, the outfit colours, and her pigtails rly suited her :)

granbelm: sorry this is the last one lol this was a long ass post! other than the fact i dont rly like mecha this was good.... action, CHARACTER designs aesthetic asf, honestly rly pretty ok. i liked the cast, very diverse and more depth than most shows of this ilk. op was nicely choreographed- especially the part where the girls’ faces are contorted by their gems, showing their magical girl side. nicely done. mangetsu didn’t end up being that bad a char, and honestly? suigetsu is best girl and deserved better. and the ending too- like, bro, that made me kinda sad. some off points: anna’s mom was a little unrealistic as a mom like woman- please learn to control your child, and, white-haired girl’s sister should have played a bigger part, based on how her parts in the opening were emphasized! (quick note- blue girl, love her, great bad guy, when she dumped anna made me so happy honestly, she is beautiful, and i couldn’t actually decide who i wanted to win between her and suigetsu....)

hope u enjoyed this bad review. pls share ur opinions w/ me on some of of these more controversial shows. thank.

Bet On Me

Reggie x Reader

A/N: This is my first ever fic and I hope you all like it!! Requests for all other Riverdale characters are open!! (This is my first fic because Reggie is bae)

Word Count: 3369

Warnings: Swearing, slight angst, violence, heavy make-out session (is that even a warning?)

Summary: Reggie is dared to date Y/N, the sweet and popular untouched cheerleader. He does so, although not expecting to fall for her in the process.

School had started again, and with that so had the gossiping and the backstabbing. Summer had changed everyone. No, it wasn’t just the mysterious death of Jason Blossom, but it was also the puberty that managed to hit someone different every year. But then again, some people stayed the same; just like Chuck Clayton.

“God she’s so hot, why does she have to be such a fucking feminist?”

Chuck was the kind of guy who didn’t care about his actions or his words. I learned that through experience. So when he started to talk like that, I only liked to see who his next prey would be. My eyes followed his only to land on Y/F/N Y/S/N. She was the type of girl that everyone wanted to date. She wasn’t only kind, but also beautiful. Puberty hadn’t changed her apart from giving her the glorious body that she now owned.

“Just because she’s a feminist doesn’t mean that she won’t date anyone Chuck.” He looked at me with a frown, which was soon replaced by a challenging grin.

“Oh yeah? Then why don’t you go and give that theory a try Reggie? I bet you won’t even manage to score one date.” I smirked, accepting the challenge straight away.

“And I bet that I can last two whole months with her.”

“Alright Mantle, loser owes the winner one hundred bucks and lunch for a month.” Oh there was no way I was passing this up. Besides, who couldn’t resist Mantle The Magnificent?

“Deal.”

Reggie had to admit, he had never been so scared to ask out a girl. And as he got a good look at her from across the hall he finally realised what the whole fuss was about. Y/N wasn’t just some hot girl, no, she was way more than that. She was intelligent and excelled at every class, as well as managing to be a part of the drama club so that she could pursue her dream of being an actress. But it didn’t finish there, oh no, she was also a cheerleader, the co-leader if you will, which gave her the undeniable status of Cheryl Blossoms best friend.

And seriously where did Chuck get off on calling her hot? Y/N wasn’t hot, she was a goddess. A goddess that fell from the heavens into this shitty earth and into this even shittier town. Everyone knew that she had the charisma and the talent to get what she wanted but that was really it. And that’s when it dawned on Reggie that no one actually knew her. Not really. She was a mystery to everyone, and yet everyone acted like they knew her.

But none of that mattered. No, he had made a bet and of course, Reggie Mantle never backs down from a bet. Especially since it’s just asking some girl out.

Mustering up the last bit of courage he made his way to the Y/H/C haired girl who was putting away some books in her locker. He cleared his throat, getting her attention quickly. Her Y/E/C eyes looking up quizzically through her lashes - which he thought was the cutest thing ever - only for her whole head to tilt up to properly look at the tall male.

“Hey Y/N.” I smirked at her, whilst also leaning against the lockers beside me.

“Umm hi Reggie? What do you want?”

“I was wondering if you would like to come to Pop’s with me after school? You know to talk and stuff?”

“Right. And since when do you want to hang out with me Mantle?” And there it was. The sass that rivalled Jughead’s oh so well.

“Can’t a guy just ask a girl out with no ulterior motives?” I sighed, great so this wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought it was going to be.

“Oh sure he can! Just not someone like you.” She fluttered her eyes at me sarcastically and grinned. I scowled, this was definitely not how this conversation was going to end.

“And what’s that supposed to mean?”

“That you’re the biggest playboy in this town, right after Chuck of course, and that I will not go out with you, ever.” Ouch. Well she’s got a point.

“Look I know I don’t have the best of reputations but I really really like you. I like the way you always tuck you hair behind your ear because it’s always falling out of place, and I like the way you smile when you’re reading something you like and you think no one’s looking. Hell, I even like the way you always bite your lip during a football game because you’re worried that we won’t win. Please, just one date so I can prove it to you. If you don’t like it then I’ll leave you alone and won’t ask you out ever again.” By the time I finished my speech (which, by the way, I don’t know where I pulled from) Y/N was as red as her best friends favourite lipstick, her mouth slightly parted trying to form words.

“O-Okay. But just one date alright?” She quickly looked down when her eyes met mine and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling at her shyness.

“Great! I’ll come and pick you up at 6:00pm at your house, okay?”

“Y-Yeah, I-I mean whatever.” And with that she quickly ran away leaving me with a satisfied smirk on my face.

Like I said, easy.

Y/N knew it was a bad idea when she agreed to go out on a date with Reggie Mantle. He was just a whole load of trouble and she didn’t need that. And if she were to be truthful it wasn’t even her fault. It was Reggie’s. Him and his stupid words and his stupid smile and his stupid perfection. She couldn’t lie and say she wasn’t interested because she was. She had had a crush on Reggie since she could remember and that silly crush then turned into more until he then developed into the hotness he is now and she just couldn’t call it a crush anymore. But she knew what Reggie had turned into, she saw it everyday when girls cried and he laughed with his friends. And that’s why she decided she couldn’t try and pursue her feelings. Reggie Mantle was bad news, so she had to keep her feelings for him a secret.

But secrets just don’t stay hidden when your best friend is Cheryl Blossom. So when she ran to her after getting asked out by Reggie, obviously the first thing she would say is: “Oh you are going to look hot as hell tonight!” And that is how she ended up missing her cheerleading practise. Just to look hot for Reggie Mantle.

“And done! Honey you are going to literally break Reggie. Oh he has never seen and will never see someone as hot as you. You are going to kick ass tonight Y/N, I know it.” Cheryl stood behind me proud, with her hands on her hips lightly nodding at my appearance. I looked in the mirror, assessing myself. I was wearing a short red skater skirt with a white fitting tank top under it. I had a simple velvet black choker that matched my velvet high heels. And to set everything I was wearing only one coat of black mascara with winged eyeliner and bright red lipstick.

“Cheryl you do realise we didn’t have to cancel practise today just for this, right?”

“Well duh, but you needed time to calm down because your star-crossed lover finally asked you out and because I’m a great best friend I will do anything in my power to make you comfortable.”

“You’re absolutely crazy Cher-” I got interrupted by the distinct sound of my doorbell ringing.

“He’s here! Oh and right on time. Dedicated? Check. Come on Y/N go and rock his world.” I gulped, realising that I was seriously not ready for this date.

Cheryl pushed me toward the stairs giving me her thumbs up. I sighed and walked down the stairs mentally preparing myself for what was waiting for me on the other side of the door.

“Hey-” Reggie didn’t finish his sentence as he looked at me up and down. His cheeks started to redden as he finally looked at me in the eyes. “Wow - I mean you look great Y/N.”

“Thanks, you don’t look so bad yourself. Oh and are those for me?” I gestured to the set of roses he was holding in his left hand, whilst looking at his attire. He was wearing black trousers with a white shirt that accented his muscles in all the right places, finishing it off with a red bomber jacket. I tried not to squeal at the fact that we were matching and held my hand out to take the flowers from him.

“Oh yeah. I didn’t know what your favourite flowers were so I just got the best looking ones.” I giggled at his facial expression while I went and put the flowers in a pot.

“Well thank you. My favourite flowers are violets, but roses come in a close second.” I smiled up at him once I finished placing the roses in a crystal vase my mum left at the back of our cupboard. “You ready to go?” He nodded.

“You know, for a girl that doesn’t want to go on a date you seem pretty happy about it.” My eyes widened as he slowly started to smirk at me.

“W-Well you asked me to give you a chance and I did. Even if I didn’t want to it doesn’t mean I can’t try and have fun.” I stuttered, mentally slapping myself for lying so badly.

“Whatever you say Princess. Now come on, I’m going to give you the best night of your life.” I took his hand as we headed to Pop’s smiling the whole way.

“Y/N! Hey, Y/N! Have you seen my jacket anywhere? Y/N?” Reggie called out as he walked down the stairs in his house to the kitchen looking for his letterman jacket. Looking inside for his girlfriend of two-months and a half, he grinned finally finding what he was looking for.

He chuckled in a deep town as he leaned on the door frame and looked at the said Y/H/C making breakfast in his jacket.

Just his jacket on.

“Y/N, I’ve been looking for that jacket you know.”

“Oops sorry.” She giggled as she put a plate of eggs and bacon on the table. “I didn’t hear you.”

Smirking at his girlfriend, he made his way towards her to wrap his arms arms around her waist and kiss her gently on the lips. “I gotta go Princess.”

“Already? But I just made breakfast. And this is the last day we have together before your parents come home.” She frowned as she placed her hands around his neck.

“I know but I have extra football practise today and being the new quarterback I can’t miss anything. Besides, my parents are probably going to leave again anyway.”

“Come on Reggie… Stay a little longer, please? At least have some breakfast before you go.” She whined making him chuckle and shake his head in disapproval. “Y/N, Y/N, Y/N… I’ve turned you into a bad girl haven’t I?” He asked making her giggle and shake her head. “No, Reggie, good girls are bad girls that just haven’t been caught yet.”

He quirked his eyebrow up at her, his in-famous smirk appearing on his face as Y/N him the plate of eggs and bacon.

“You’re crazy.”

“You love it.”

“You were great Reggie! I think you’re the best quarterback that we’ve ever had.” Y/N said as she hugged her boyfriend tightly.

“Trust me I know. There hasn’t been even one game we’ve lost since coach made me the new quarterback. And besides with a girlfriend who’s the best cheerleader how could I fail?” Reggie returned Y/N’s hug by picking her up and spinning her around, putting her down just so he could take off his helmet and kiss her softly.

After they both got changed in the changing rooms they met up outside ready to leave to go to the after party which was being thrown by none other than Cheryl Blossom.

“Y/N wait. I have something for you.” The said girl turned around curiously only to be met with a small blue box in front of her. Her eyes widened when Reggie opened it, as it revealed a necklace with a small infinity sign. She gasped as she saw the two engravings of her and Reggie’s initials. “Oh my God, Reggie it’s beautiful. But why?”

“I want you to always have me there with you. To know that I’ll support you through everything all the time. Think of it as a good luck charm.” Reggie grinned at Y/N as he turned her around and put it on her neck, gently kissing her neck before letting her hair fall back down.

“I love you Y/N.”

“And I love you, Reggie.” She said while putting her hands around his neck and kissing him. In a matter of seconds they started to kiss quicker, with more passion. Reggie bit Y/N’s lip, asking her for permission to enter. Y/N eagerly consenting by opening her mouth to let his tongue start exploring her mouth. She met his in the middle, their tongues fighting over dominance which Reggie soon won. Reggie brought her closer to him as he kissed her harder, grabbing her ass in the process. Y/N instead moved her hands up into his hair grabbing it and pulling it, making Reggie moan into her mouth. But before things could escalate anymore they were interrupted by a loud car beep. They both pulled apart quickly, Reggie groaning at the people who sat in the car.

“When you guys are done having sex in front of the school gates we’d like to go to Cheryl’s party.” It was none other than Chuck and Moose smirking at them both. “Come on, get in the car.” They both sighed, finally letting go of each other to walk up to the car. Reggie took the front passenger seat whereas Y/N sat next to Moose in the back. As Chuck finally started driving, he smirked at Reggie starting a conversation.

“So Y/N, I didn’t take you for a girl that dated jocks.” Reggie shot Chuck a threatening look, but Chuck continued talking.

“What do you mean?”

“Well you must know about our reputation and well our bets right?”

“Of course I do. I don’t get what this has to do with my relationship with Reggie.”

“Well you guys have been dating for three months now, I would’ve thought you would’ve left him by now. You know since you passed the two month mark.” Y/N looked at Chuck quizzically, not understanding where he was coming from.

“Chuck, shut up.” Reggie growled out, not ready for this conversation by any means.

“No Chuck, continue. What do you mean?”

“Well me and Reggie bet that he could only date you for two months but obviously he did way more than that. Tell me, did he also take your oh so precious virginity?” Y/N’s eyes widened, tears prickling her eyes as she looked at Reggie for any sign of what Chuck had just said of being a lie, all while she held the necklace that Reggie had just given to her. As she saw Reggie’s head down, not looking at her she scoffed trying to hold back tears.

“Stop the car Chuck.”

“Aw out so soon? But we haven’t even gotten to the party babe.”

“I said, stop the car Chuck.”

“Okay okay. Just calm down alright?” Chuck slowly came to a stop, letting Y/N get out of the car. The moment she was out she slammed the door. Making Chuck cringe but not say anything as he could tell her mood wasn’t one to mess with.

“Goddammit - Y/N wait!!” But she didn’t stop. She just kept walking away. Reggie turned around, scowling at Chuck.

“What?”

“Are you fucking serious now Chuck? Couldn’t you keep your mouth shut just for once in your goddamn life? I was going to fucking tell her in my own time!” Reggie was practically fuming, his hands balled into fists, struggling to not punch his so called best friend in the face.

“Dude, calm down. All I did was tell her the truth, not my fault she couldn’t take it. Besides, you’ve had your fun with her now, what do you care about her?”

“Didn’t it occur to you that maybe there was a reason I hadn’t broken up with her yet? Maybe that I actually liked her?”

“Ok Reg, listen. I get that you maybe are pissed that now you don’t have anyone hot to fuck anymore but it’s cool! I’ll find you someone real quick. And look on the bright side, you even won the bet.” With that Reggie punched him square in the face, Chuck’s face hitting the window of the car creating a crack in the window as well as blood flowing out of his nose. “Dude, what the fuck?!”

“I don’t want your fucking money. I loved her, Chuck.” And with that he got out of the car, running after Y/N in the night.

“Y/N? Y/N wait!” Reggie ran after the girl finally catching up to her.

“What do you want? You won your bet and proved Chuck wrong, just like you wanted. I’m no use to you now.”

“No it’s not like that! I mean it is but-”

“Oh just shut up Reggie. Listen to yourself, you can’t even lie.”

“I’m not here to lie, Y/N. I want to tell you the truth. So please, just listen to me.” As he said it he grabbed her arm, finally turning her towards him only to look down at her tear stained cheeks. His eyes widened pain flashing across them. She never responded so he continued to talk.

“That’s what it was, a bet, in the beginning. I had only approached you because of it. And that’s all it was supposed to be. But-but then I started to get to know you, and I wanted to keep learning more about you. Until I found myself thinking about you constantly and I just couldn’t get you out my head. Y/N it started off as a lie but I really did fall for you. And I’m sorry - God I am so sorry - for it to have started out like that but I am in love with you and my feelings won’t change. It’s not a lie. Not anymore. So please forgive me Y/N, I can’t live without you, I just can’t.” By the time he had finished pouring out his feelings to her he had his hands around her cheeks, his thumbs gently cleaning away the tears that were falling down like a waterfall.

“Fuck I hate you so much Reggie.” His eyes widened, slowly dropping his arms next to him, looking defeated.

“I hate how I actually fell for your stupid act and I hate how much of a dick you are. I hate how I’ve liked you for so long and actually believed that you were a good guy after all. I hate how even now I want to forgive you and I hate it how I still want to be with you. And what I hate most of all is that I still fucking love you.” She choked as she sobbed, her hand gripping his shirt tightly. Reggie held her tightly though, hands around her waist as he waited for her to let everything out.

“Reggie?”

“Yeah?”

“Forever, right?”

“Forever.”

Fallen Star!Ze AU Chapter 6

Woah, an update. Weird.

<<<Previous Chapter

Where It All Began>>>

----

Dinner had gone surprisingly well- mostly.

 Ze was still trying to get used to the food and, when noting that there was some chunky feeling between his teeth he had asked what it was, not exactly delighted by the flavor. Smarty answered that it was beef and after explaining where it came from, Ze was taken aback. He shook his head and spit it out. Explaining that he couldn’t eat what used to be life, he attempted to sit calmly while the others prepared him a less meaty dinner.

The young Star had tried to pick up the spoon and fork but ended up melting it in his hands. Somehow the chair and the rest of the table weren’t burning, most likely due to his special and literally out-of-this-world clothing. With his hands hovering over the table, he lit up red in embarrassment and apologized for the dribbling utensils now dripping over the surface. When he tried to feed himself the green leaves, they had burst into flames and the others quickly brought it outside to expel the fire along with Ze who had left a scorch mark at the table.

Chilled was in charge of trying to feed him, tossing bits of lettuce into his mouth from a few inches away, hoping that his fingers wouldn’t burn when they got close to his lips. He was full of relief when the food didn’t catch on fire; however, he’d miss now and then, apologizing for each time he’d hit him elsewhere, the others mocking him for his failure to toss it in.

 “Well I’m sorry I don’t know how to feed a child!”

 Chilled’s outburst had everyone laughing, even a small giggle escaping Ze as he stood around with leaves covering his shoulder and hair and messily scattering by his feet. By the time the plate had emptied and Ze was feeling satisfied with the content of his dinner, everyone had placed their dishes into the sink and headed off to relax or record late into the night.

Chilled had taken the chance to wash the dishes and seclude himself for the rest of the evening, but Ze, not knowing what to do, had also stuck around.

 “Sorry,” the young Star began, “about um, ruining dinner.”

“You didn’t ruin anything,” Chilled replied, looking over his shoulder at the celestial being beside him leaning on the counter. “It was kinda funny. I think we just need to help you learn to control your…fire power thing.”

Ze shrugged and rubbed his thighs, pulling up a chair to plop down in with a quiet groan.

“You alright,” Chilled inquired, scrubbing the last of the plates in the sink.

“I suppose. I’m still getting used to the gravity of Earth. We have less gravity where I come from.”

Chilled hummed quietly and nodded, wondering what would happen if he played around with the soap suds with Ze. He quickly rinsed his hands of any dirt and grabbed a handful of bubbles to blow onto the Star.

Ze reacted fast in surprise, the bubbles disappearing before they even landed on his skin. Chilled laughed at this and shook his head, clearing his throat. He turned on the faucet to start rinsing the dishes and, when he looked back to see if his friend was still there, noticed that Ze had disappeared from the chair. When the Italian looked around, he had in fact disappeared from the kitchen without a trace. Sighing, he finished up the rest of his nightly chore and headed outside to clear his head.

 “Two days – well, three, I guess - and Ze’s already learned most of the country locations than I ever could. Maybe stars really are all knowing? But then he’d already know things…” Chilled rubbed is arms and looked up at the sky. “Stars, huh? What do you guys know? I mean I still can’t believe this is even real. Man falls from sky undamaged – this is like a ‘Superman’ film or some shit. I still wonder a lot about him. Given, we’ve gotten more than we bargained for, and learned a lot in two days – erm, three, oops. I’m still unable to comprehend all of it.” He sighed and slowed his pace of talking, looking around. “I do wonder,” he started, roaming eyes spotting a faint glow coming from across the backyard. “…how he’s feeling. Since he’s so…quiet about his personal life…”

 Chilled could make out Ze’s figure from the soft glow around him and noticed that he had his head pointed up, lips sealed tight. Quietly, he headed over and took slower and slower steps as he approached. “Um…Ze?” His voice was quiet and he bit his lower lip, waiting for a response. When a few awkward seconds of silence passed, he opened his mouth to speak again but Ze instead looked at him, eyes a dull glowing green. “You alright, buddy?”

“Hmm….I don’t know. I just want to go back home, you know? Ma famille me manque (I miss my family).”

Chilled nodded and patted his own arms as he looked up then back at Ze. “I have no idea what you said at the end there.”

“Hm? Ma famille me manque? I miss my family,” he translated and Chilled’s lips turned into an “o” of understanding. “I hate looking up from here, too. You can’t see anything – there’s this weird cover that blocks out the rest of my view and only sometimes I’m able to look past it.

“Oh, yeah, that’s the pollution and clouds. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, there’s no real way to completely clear of it.” He fell silent for a moment before continuing. “Do you guys uh….you and your family always live together?”

“Do you ever see the constellations split apart?” Ze’s lips twitched into a small smile before looking back up at the sky.

“Touché.” Chilled smiled then quickly frowned. “Oh…that means you don’t know what it’s like living away from your family then, huh?”

“Well, I know what it’s like losing family. Red Stars don’t have that much longer to live. They kind of just…disintegrate and leave their children out to form on their own, and a new family is made…kinda.”

“But you’re all still living together and stuff?”

“Yeah.”

 Chilled pursed his lips and suddenly shivered as a gust made its way across his neck. He wasn’t even sure why he hadn’t brought a jacket out with him in the cold winter’s air. Ze watched him shiver and blinked curiously.

“Why is it that you shake and tremble like that? Are you afraid of something?”

“Af-afraid? No,” Chilled managed to chatter between his teeth. “I-I’m just c-c-cold, is all.”

“Cold? What is that?”

“W-well it’s…I d-don’t really know ho-how to explain it,” he answered. “I-it’s the reason wh-why we use blankets and w-wear clothes and hud-huddle together when we walk-walk outside.”

Ze looked at him with a few slow blinks and nodded, eyes drifting back to the night sky. “I don’t think we ever feel cold…whatever that means. I think I understand. It’s like when you call me hot, I think? But opposite?”

 Chilled nodded and squeezed his hands around his arms, trying to keep warm. When he shut his eyes and squeezed himself tight, he suddenly felt a wave of heat surround him and he pressed into the source of it. His eyes shot open in shock to see how close Ze was holding him.

“Th-thanks,” Chilled mumbled, smiling down at the young Star who had his arms wrapped around his waist, body pressed as much against him as he could.

“If I’m what you call hot, which is the opposite of this cold, then I can keep you…warm?”

 Chilled nodded and stared down at him, studying the white flecks in his hair. “It’s like dandruff,” he commented, changing the topic. “But it’s…a part of you…” He paused and contemplated. “So, you really are a star, then? Like, you’re actually from up in space with zero gravity and stuff?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I thought you guys would be bigger, to be honest. Like…giant.”

“Well, we look big to you, I guess? I mean we all emit such a bright light but being here on Earth has somehow limited my use of power.”

“Please don’t start shining super bright like the Sun. We’d all go blind and never be able to see again.”

“Oh, Sun, he’s a funny one. I do enjoy his company.” Ze’s face lit up in a warm yellow glow, his teeth now showing in his smile. He actually seemed particularly happy, and Chilled couldn’t help but smile back.

“Hey, Ze?”

“Hm?”

“I want to…I want to learn more about you and your family.”

“Oh? Sure! I could tell you all about my mom and my dad and my sister and our dog and our-“

“Erh, uh, I mean inside the house. Let’s get ready for bed and then you can tell me all about it.”

“Okay! I’ve never had anyone ask before. This is fun!”

 Chilled smiled as he walked inside with Ze. On their way to the bedroom, Chilled removed himself from Ze’s hold and placed a hand on his shoulder, making sure the young Star was facing him when he spoke.

“And uh, you know…all of us here actually moved away from our families. It’s what we do when we’re adults. But, you know, we’ve made our own family, kind of. We’re not related, but we live together and we’ve bonded for so long…we could be like your n…um, Earth family!” Chilled’s lips turned into a smile and Ze stared up at him, his own gently parted.

“My…Earth family?” Chilled nodded and Ze continued to stare at him for a while longer. Chilled never really took the time to stare into Ze’s eyes, and the more he stared the more he realized he could see stars and galaxies swimming in the green space. “I’d love it!”

Ze’s voice broke his trance and he blinked a few times, realizing their faces were inches away and he stood back up straight, cheeks feeling warm. “I’m glad,” the Italian replied, and he hugged the Star before he got changed into his pajamas.

 ---

 They’d gone to sleep by 2am the next day after Ze chatted his ear off and Chilled had started to doze, unable to keep up with all the information. Most of the nights ended up like this, with Ze telling Chilled more and more, having to repeat a lot of the information as Chilled tried to retain it, asking questions and repeating answers to have them clarified or make sure he was hearing properly. As the days wore on, they soon turned to weeks, then months, and quickly they were halfway through the year.

 And yet, it was only now that GaLm and Tom were able to help Ze control his powers - somehow. There was less burning of objects that he came into touch with, but it also came with having to separate his emotions from his core, and it was the toughest part for Ze to do. In time he’d managed to not let one affect the other, and he could react without exploding into flames, although there were some instances that really sparked a fuse.

In these six months, Ze had also packed in learning history of the world and all the different countries, learning about different cultures and mastering their languages, learning about all the different maths and sciences, and somehow retaining all this knowledge without missing a mark. He’d hit all the bullseyes, but it was the astronomy that really kept him entertained.

 During this time, Chilled was reminded of a game that he’d had on his computer but didn’t really explore. It hadn’t always entertained him, but he had a feeling that Ze would enjoy the hell out of it.

 “What’s this?” Ze asked, pointing at the loading screen with interest. “Universe…Sandbox? What is a sandbox?”

“Uh, it’s literally just a box full…well, it’s like there’s this wooden fencing in the ground shaped like a square and people fill it with sand and…that’s a sandbox.”

“So the universe is a box full of sand?” Ze, confused about this topic, furrowed his brows. “The universe is not full of sand and it is not a box.”

“No, no, it’s called Universe Sandbox because you’re able to create anything here. Like, with sandboxes we used our imagination to build things. So in this game, you’re able to get creative with the universe! Uh, to the extent of human knowledge, that is.”

 Ze suddenly gasped as he stared at the screen, his eyes a bright green in joy and excitement. “Look! That’s Earth!”

“That is Earth indeed.”

“And my friend Sun! Oh, you guys give him too much credit to look that nice. Hm…all these other planets, I’ve seen them before. But they didn’t interest me as much. Earth just had so much more…life to it!”

 Chilled explained to Ze how the game worked with all its features and clicking around to explore different options: time, speed, weather, life habitation, and more. When Sirius had popped up on the screen, Ze had clapped his hands in excitement. “Hey, that’s my friend’s family! Sirius and his parents and siblings! I like hanging around them!” When he studied the placement of the several stars in the constellation and furrowed his brows, tapping on the screen. “Except for this part. I don’t know what that part is doing there when it’s supposed to be over here. And this part of Sirius is actually more this way than how it’s positioned right now. You humans need to get better eyes.”

“Ah, no need to be a hothead,” Chilled joked, gently nudging him on the shoulder. “There’s not much we can really do. I mean you’ve read about our technology, we can barely travel out there without so much use of energy and materials and everything has a cost.”

“Your costs are dumb. Whatever that green paper is, to me it’s useless. You should come visit! It’d be really fun to have you over!”

“If only…”

“Seriously! I’d bring you there myself! If only I knew how I could leave Earth.”

 Chilled’s lips pursed and he nodded. That was still the mission they had, but he was enjoying his company so much he didn’t want him to leave. He didn’t mention that part, and instead pointed back to the screen. “Hey, that’s Aries over here isn’t it?”

“Hm?” Ze looked over and clicked around until they had reached the constellation. “That is indeed! That’s me! And there’s my sister and my dad and our dog and my grandma and my grandpa.” He grinned and zoomed in. “Oh! And these are all my cousins and aunts and uncles and everyone from my great grandparents! Pretty cool huh?” He giggled when he got closer to look at one of the stars. “And that’s me! Hey! I look awesome! Je suis assez sexy non? (I look pretty sexy, right?)”

Chilled blinked at Ze and smiled a little, tapping the chair. “And I still don’t understand French.”

“ I said ‘I look pretty hot, right?’,” Ze lied, joking with Chilled. “Wouldn’t you agree?”

“Uh, yeah, yeah, of course, yep, super attractive, amazing, beautiful, handsome, I mean…” Chilled waved his hands around and smiled, laughing awkwardly and blowing air out of his cheeks. “Like, really hot, mhm…one hundred percent agree.”

“Hm? I mean my temperature? Like, I’m really hot?” Ze pointed to the scale of numbers on the side about the star that was attached onto Aries and Chilled’s face never felt equally as warm.

“RIGHT! Of course, yep, that’s what you meant, I totally got that. Pfssh, I knew that, I was just, uh, making sure that you…knew?” He pursed his lips and waved his hand at him. “Like, like…I-I totally, totally knew that.” He nodded and looked away for a moment, chuckling again.

Ze stared at him and burst into a small fit of laughter. “You humans are adorable. I was teasing you, Chilly Willy. I actually said I look sexy, but of course I’m vraiment attirant (super attractive).”

Chilled covered his face and groaned loudly, unable to keep himself from smiling. “Okay, okay, you got me. But really, in all honesty, Ze, you’d totally like be able to hook up with someone. I mean, look at you, you’re really attractive. I won’t even deny it. I mean your hair is adorable and your beard is cooler than mine and like you’ve got superpowers…I’m sure any girl would hook up with you in a second.”

“Just girls? What about the males? Do same looking humans not get together? I know many Stars in my community who are all over the place. Some even have multiple partners. But here, no?”

“What? Oh! Uh, I mean, we have that here, too-“

“What about Smarty and GaLm? Do they keep it secret because it is not allowed?” Ze stared up at Chilled’s look of surprise and suddenly covered his mouth. “Oh no, was I not supposed to say that? Was it a secret? Are you going to hurt them?”

“N-no! No! I uh, I just didn’t know they were serious. I always joked with them about being together…uh…but, no, it’s not bad. There’s just a lot of people who don’t…think it’s a good thing. I mean, I think it’s fine! Like, it’s perfectly cool with me. I’m just surprised. I guess I was oblivious, haha!” Chilled rubbed the back of his neck and grinned at Ze who grinned back at him and looked back at the program before scooting over on the chair and patting the space beside him. “Sit with me! I wanna show you more about what you humans got all silly!”

Chilled nodded and laughed, joining him on the chair with a more than welcomed smile, his hands gently resting in between his legs while they shared the chair. Ze had, after a while, wrapped his arm around Chilled and held onto his shoulder while he pointed and clicked around, and at first the Italian had noted the not-so-hover-hand hand of Ze’s. He couldn’t get his mind off of it, but throughout their fooling around on the game, he’d started to relax into his hold and sit comfortably shoulder to shoulder with him. Even though he couldn’t completely comprehend everything he was saying, he loved watching how excited and bright Ze would glow when he talked about space and all his friends and family.

After hours of sitting around on the computer, Chilled hadn’t even realized that dinner had already come right up to their faces. It was late at night, almost 9pm, and his stomach grumbled hungrily. Ze giggled at the noise and poked at his stomach, teasing him. Chilled grinned and poked him back, Ze squealing from the sudden jolt of nerves that caused him to giggle. “Ah, what was that?! Do you have powers you humans are holding back from me?!”

“What? No…I don’t…are you ticklish, Ze?” Chilled’s lips curled into a smile and Ze furrowed his brows, unsure if he should smile or not from Chilled’s facial reaction.

“I don’t…know what that means?” Ze stared, waiting for Chilled to explain what it meant just as he usually did for him. He yelped when Chilled’s hands started to roam his sides and his neck and behind his ear and he started curling into a ball. Fear and happiness started to mush together and he was glowing a bright white and red, trying to push Chilled away and leaving scorched hand marks on his shirt. “A-ah! I’m sorry!” Ze apologized in between giggles and heavy breathing, looking up at Chilled from his curled up spot on the floor.

Chilled, kneeling beside him, laughed and scratched the back of his neck before reaching a hand out to help Ze sit up. “That’s what being ticklish is. When I roam my hands all over you like that and you start laughing, it’s called tickling! Some people don’t like it but I didn’t really know how to explain it to you. And don’t worry about my shirt, I’ve got like a million if these just sitting in my closet.”

“Hm, are you ticklish?” Ze asked curiously and Chilled threw up his hands.

“Uh, I kind of am. But, please don’t!” He smiled nervously and Ze didn’t attempt, instead nodding.

“Okay! I won’t.” The young Star smiled and looked back at the game still running on the computer and the corner of his lips started to drop a little. Chilled noticed and scooted closer to him, rubbing his back.

“You okay, buddy?”

“Yeah…I guess. I still miss my family. Looking at that game you showed me just…mmm…talking about them made me happy, but it also made me sad. I could be missing out on so much right now, I don’t even know if they still miss me, you know?”

“I’m sure they do, Ze. I know what you mean, though. Sometimes I miss seeing some family.” He smiled. “But I’ll totally also be sad if I left the ones I live with now. Is there any way you can contact them at all?”

“Well, there is this thing I can do…but it’s kinda hard and I have to really focus. I’ve tried it now and then when you guys would be sleeping, but it never worked.”

“Oh! Well, why don’t I bring you outside after dinner and maybe we can try to work together?”

“Really?” Ze’s eyes lit up and the green in his eyes had never been brighter.

“Yeah, of course!” Chilled smiled and hugged him. “Let’s do it later tonight.”

 Ze cheered and hugged him back tightly. “Uh, can you do that…that tickle thing again?” he asked Chilled as he pulled back from the hug. “I want to…laugh again.”

“Um, sure?”

 The Italian looked at Ze, his odd request making him smile, and he started it up again, watching as Ze curled up once more on the ground. The Star had light and bits of sparkles coming from his eyes, slowly wafting to the floor and he begged Chilled to stop as his cheeks spread wide in a grin, wiping the dust from his eyes that had appeared and he hugged Chilled again in a form of defeat.

 Smarty came into the room after a few knocks and smiled at the two sitting on the floor. “Hey, lovebirds, dinner’s ready.”

“Sure,” Chilled replied and nodded to him. “We’ll be there in a sec.”

“Alright!”

 As soon as Smarty left the room, Ze looked up at Chilled and tapped his shoulder. “What is a lovebird? Why does Smarty call us that?”

“Ah, he’s just teasing us. It’s a joke about two people who are in love.”

“Ah, yes, we are still of platonic love, right?”

“Of course.” Chilled smiled, but that bitter taste returned to his tongue and his fingers curled around Ze’s shoulder. “Of course.” He nodded and helped Ze stand up, trying to fight the weird feeling in his stomach as they walked out together side by side.

 ---

 South from the house, almost several states over in a vacant spot of a forest…

 A tall, lanky man and some friends are hiking through the forest for a night trip while they camp. Something large and red is falling from the sky, following the meteor shower of the evening. Unsure but curious, they go to check it out.

 A man emerges from the large crater in the forest and the group of campers comes to a halt, asking if the man is okay.

 Two red, glowing eyes come from the mist and later, the campers are announced as missing.

 “Où est le prince? (Where is the Prince?)”
