𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐒: fluff, friends with romantic tension, garroth being a smooth mf, like smooth af, you both need to make out already there’s so much tension
𝐂𝐖: none, unless you’re like, allergic to oranges or something
𝐀/𝐍: garroth’s hottest era, i want to kiss him on the lips. also i definitely got sidetracked and wrote this instead of other fics in my queue but we’re gonna ignore that ok guys?
𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓
despite having different majors, you managed to catch a class this year with garroth. while high school friendships usually fade with time, you’re glad that yours and garroth’s didn’t. you two weren’t able to talk and hang out every day like when you were teenagers, but every week you both decided on a time and day in the library to study and work together.
tonight was one of those nights, as the two of you sat across from each other in pleasant silence. it was one of the things you admired about garroth—his ability to be mature and quiet without feeling awkward, unlike other extroverts like him, was commendable.
you tapped on your phone screen, the glass cold from the lack of use over the past hour. your lock screen lights up to reveal the numbers 11:11, and you lean forward, turning it around to show garroth.
“make a wish.”
his lips curl up in amusement as a light huff of air leaves his nose. he leans back in his chair, raising his arms and lacing his hands together behind his head as his eyes close in thought. brown and blonde eyelashes flutter against his cheekbones as he seemingly puts serious consideration into his wish, before he nods and opens his eyes again.
“that seemed like an important wish.” your inquire, voice still hushed.
his eyes narrow as he leans towards you with his elbows on the table, and for a moment your attention is drawn to the small freckle that lies right on the lower lid of his right eye.
“maybe it was,” he whispers back, his voice a deep husk that would’ve physically rattled you had you been any closer. “but i can’t tell you, or it won’t come true.”
“i know that.” you roll your eyes, hoping your cheeks weren’t as red as they felt.
garroth lets out another amused huff of air, this time his lips widening to reveal the perfect set of teeth beneath them. his hands rose up for his chin to rest on, as he tilts his head at you. the dim library lights reflect against his pupils, casting a certain shine that almost made his expression seem softer than usual.
“did you make a wish?”
your eyes widen for a split moment when you realize you had been too busy staring at him to make a wish of your own. the empty twist and growl you feel in your stomach gives you a smooth recovery to your slip-up.
“yeah, i wished for a snack. i’m starving.”
“oh no,” he gasps in faux despair, “now you’ll starve for the rest of the night because you told me.”
“or i’m just too lazy to walk to the vending machine.”
“luckily you have me.” he chuckles.
your eyebrows pinch together as he leans over, reaching in his bag to pull out a cutie orange.
“my saving grace.” you dramatically bow to him, clasping your hands like a devoted peasant to a generous king.
when you reach out to grab the fruit, however, he pulls it away and leans back in his chair. your lower lip juts out.
“what?”
“do your work,” he whispers, before turning his attention to removing the peel. “i’ll do it.”
you blink at him in confusion, before your eyes trail down to his hands. he ignores your dumbfoundedness, instead carefully beginning to dig his fingers into the peel, avoiding spraying any of the juice onto the table. his nails were short and well-manicured, and you couldn’t help but trail your eyes up to the veins and tendons pulling against his skin as he restrained from using his full strength. and as he begins meticulously removing the extra white strands from each slice he pauses, leaning his head down to catch your gaze.
“surely this isn’t more interesting than getting your work done?” cerulean twinkled against the lights as he gazed up at you through his lashes.
blood rose to your cheeks as your eyes dart back down to your textbook, biting on your lip as you twirl your pencil in your hand.
“i was just thinking,” you mumble.
a deep chuckle leaves garroth’s lips and his head dips into his hand, poorly hiding his amusement with your embarrassment.
“cute.”
his hand comes into your view, presenting the neatly peeled orange right below your nose. his hands practically engulfed yours in size as you scooped the snack from his hands, admiring the perfectly stripped slices.
“…thank you.”
“you’re very welcome.” he smiles, calmly watching as you pop an orange slice in your mouth with a satisfied hum.
“don’t you have a snack for yourself?”
his eyebrow raises. “no. i just gave you it.”
you stop mid-chew, staring at him with round eyes.
“i’m not hungry.” he cuts you off before you can protest, waving his hand before leaning back in his chair and lolling his head back, staring at the white ceiling above you.
only a brief moment passes before his attention lands on you again.
“what are you doing this weekend?” he bites on his lip.
you blink, caught off guard by his sudden question. “um, nothing.”
“wanna go do something?”
“hm? like, just us?”
he nods, a small smile appearing as he continues to worry his bottom lip between his teeth. “we haven’t actually hung out in a while. you, know, without school as an excuse.”
“…yeah, i guess we haven’t,” you trail off, distracted by the expectant glimmer in his eyes. “what do you want to do?”
he freezes, eyes drifting off to the right in thought.
“um… i haven’t thought about it,” he quietly giggles, the noise incredibly…cute considering who it was coming from. “but something fun. whatever you wanna do.”
“okay.”
“okay?”
“yeah, i have something to look forward to now.”
“yeah, ok cool,” he clears his throat, and for a moment you think you see his ears turn red. “are you done with your work for the night?”
you sigh, popping another orange slice in your mouth.
“yup. my brain is fried for the night.”
the two of you back up your things, slinging on your backpack and walking side by side back to the elevator in comfortable silence once again. the library is practically empty at this point, leaving only a few stragglers in the silent building.
“i’ll walk you back.” he says, as the elevator doors close.
“you don’t have to.”
“and yet i do every time.”
you sigh in response, having nothing to refute him with. he had insisted on walking you back anytime you were together and it got dark outside. one time there was a party that you two didn’t even technically go together to, and when you decided to leave early he went out of his way to leave with you to make sure you got home safely.
you’re deep in thought when you look down at your hands to realize you only had one slice left, and you hold it up to your taller blonde friend with an expectant face.
“want the last one?”
“always so sweet,” he tilts his head down at you, smiling warmly before purposefully brushing his shoulder into yours. “no thank you. it’s yours.”
you still insist, lifting the piece up higher to his face. “it’s a tribute as my thanks.”
"your thanks?"
he chuckles as you begin to impatiently wave the fruit near his lips, before leaning down with his torso and taking the slice with his teeth straight from your fingers. despite his previous refusal he still hums in delight as he munches on the citrusy treat. one of his fingers raises to your chin and lightly nudges your head up, thumb brushing your jawline in a fond act of affection.
“thank you, silly girl.”

Aaron is such a controversial character within the Aphmau community. The community itself isn't as controversial other than the existence of Aaron Lycan. (And the ships ig)
I've never watched MCD because 3 eps in and I found it too boring to continue. So I'm only covering MyStreet and PDH. (And additionally FCU)
I can see the development of this character throughout the whole series but it's just- executed in a bad way. And also the fact his character only consists of : ultima, fuck my parents, and omg aphmau.
I think over the course of MyStreet season 5 we get to see more of the relationship between Aaron and his family(especially Melissa) and I enjoyed watching the change in their bond, but other than his family issues and his love for aphmau, I don't really see much of him as a character. It's like his personality is just.. Daddy issues and my girlfriend.
PDH was.. something. It was enemies to lovers but make the female protag have multiple other guys swooning over her which honestly have more chemistry than the male protag. The whole FC and Shu thing is cute and all- but just seems like a bit of a stretch like a 2018 wattpad fanfic.
FCU, again, was just us seeing more of Aaron's daddy issues(I don't think his mom played a role in this) and his absolute obsession over Aphmau.
I can't help but see a lot of potential for Aaron as a character, and I wished we could've seen more to him rather than what we have on screen.
Either way, I am still biased over Aaron simply because Jason's voice acting is superb in the MyStreet series.
