Math? I Thought You Said Meth? (Krashlyn x Reader)

AN: I got a request of Krashlyn x Reader and this is my pretty lame attempt to get something out in these very dire, boring times. I hope you dig it! It has a bit of swearing and maybe a bit of like childhood trauma? family issues?

I walk down to the hotel lobby, feet dragging, shirt on inside out, skin pallid and dark circles very prominent. I’m still in my sleep shirt, no makeup, and my glasses, which almost never happens. My hair is an absolute mess, and Ashlyn ruffles it as I join her and Ali.

“Kid, you look like trash, no offense, very cute trash, but still,”

I groan and pull her towards the desk.

“Yeah, yeah, I know, I was up late,”

If by ‘up late’ I meant I haven’t slept in over 42 hours because I’ve been studying in every extra second I have, then yeah, I was up late. I turn to the receptionist, smiling lightly.

“So, I really really need to find the closest coffee shop. It can be a hole in the wall, it can have bad coffee, I just need something,”

The woman smiles at me and pulls out her phone.

“Okay, well, good news, there’s a Starbucks a little bit down the road to the right, walking distance,”

We thank her and grab Ali and Sonnett, who’s just made it downstairs.

“Dude, who’d you get in a fight with, I haven’t seen eye bags that dark since your bar fiasco with that one guy’s girlfriend!”

I chuckle.

“How was I supposed to know they came together?”

We make quick work of getting to the shop, talking and laughing along the way. We all walk in and I make a beeline for the counter, the rest of our small group taking a seat, having given me their orders. I order everyone else’s before taking a deep breath.

“Okay, I need to know, like legally, how much espresso you can put in a cup. Like, can you do a tiny bit of coffee, and the rest espresso?”

After discussing concerns and worries, which includes me telling the dude that I’ll pay whatever the price is, I’ve secured my 2 tablespoons coffee to the rest of the largest size cup espresso concoction. I walk back to the table, distributing the drinks to their respective owners.

“So, y/n, what’d you get, something you’d recommend?”

I cackle and shoot Ali finger guns.

“Absolutely not. This is a cup full of espresso shots with like a minuscule amount of coffee… it’s bitter and embodies my parents… would not recommend,”

She gasps and turns to Ash, gesturing towards me and groaning.

“No, no, no, remember last camp? We discussed, she’s your kid before 12, and it’s 11:49 so thats on you, babe. Also, y/n, really kid? Kind of impressed, kind of in awe, kind of worried,”

I just shrug, take the lid of my cup, and test the temperature. Seeing that it’s cool, or at least a little bit, I start to chug it, finishing half the cup before I start to listen to the other’s conversation. 

“So, y/n, how’s the math you were talking about yesterday going?”

I spit out my mouthful of drink on the table, lightly coughing.

“What?? I don’t do meth, man, look I know I’m kinda out of it today. I’ve been up for the past 2 days studying for my calculus exam I have next week, not doing drugs,”

Everyone looks at me as I burst into tears.

“Hey, hey, we were talking about math, not meth, we know you don’t do drugs, also we will be talking about the all nighter, but, I think we should finish our drinks, get ready for the beach day we have planned, and you can sleep there, just relax, sound good?”

I let out a sniffle and wrap my arms around my waist.

“Yeah, maybe I do need some sleep, sorry,”

I drag my hand over my face and pick up my cup, taking a sip. Ali wraps her arm around my shoulder and I lean my head on her shoulder, leaning my weight onto her and closing my eyes. I must doze off because I wake up to Ashlyn picking me up. I shake my head and rub my eyes.

“Ah, fuck, went and woke the kid up,”

I curl up further and lean my head into her body, quickly falling back asleep. I get woken up by Ali and Ash aggressively shushing the team, who are all gathered in my room.

“I told y’all to shhhhhh, and now she’s awake! Man, this is why we have to run so much, y’all don’t listen,”

  I tap Ash’s shoulder, giving her a hug as she sets me down.

“Well, looks like beach time is still on, so I’m going to change into beach wear, and then get another coffee, and then we can leave,”

They all nod and I get into my suitcase, grabbing my swim trunks and bikini top. I quickly change, grabbing my hair cream and going to find Ash.

“Moooom, I need help with the hair, and since Pinoe is going to pick up the caffeine, I need you,”

She quickly grabs some cream and creates a look that Pinoe, crowd favorite for her hair, will be proud of. I check it in the mirror quickly before turning to her and hugging her.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,”

She chuckles and wraps an arm around me.

“Yeah, yeah, can’t have any kid of mine walking around with wack hair,”

I squeal and turn to Ali, giving her a huge hug as well.

“Wait, I love y’all, like a lot, thank you for helping me adjust and for dealing with me, okay, that’s all, thanks for coming to my TedTalk,”

Pinoe chooses that moment to walk in with the coffee. I prance up to her, kiss her cheek, and walk off to find Rose, Mal, and the rest of the youngins.

“Thanks boss! I expect a volleyball match partner later, yeah?”

She nods and I sprint towards Sonny, making sure to not spill my coffee.

“Y/N, no running babe! Knowing you, you’ll fall and scald yourself or something,”

I wave my hand at Ali and smirk. I catch up to Sonny and lean up against her.

“Man oh man, I’m going to snooze at the beach, mark my words,”

She looks at me and smiles.

“Well, at least you’ll actually get sleep.. Look, I know school is a lot, by itself, I can’t even imagine what it’s like while your playing on this team, but you have to take care of yourself man, cause I know Ash and Kriegs are this close to making you room with Carlos,”

My eyes widen as she puts her fingers almost together. I nod and bow.

“Yeah, I just really want to do well, you know? I mean, birth parents didn’t end up going to secondary schooling, the fosters were more focused on taking care of us in the care minimum than encouraging us kids, and I just want to be better,”

I start to tear up and Lindsey and Em both pull me into a hug.

“Okay, I know it doesn’t feel like it, but kid, you’re insane! I mean, I didn’t go to college, so you’re already passing me up. And, you’re trying for premed things, on top of playing for the national team? Anyone would love to be doing as well as you’re doing, and even if you’re parents aren’t proud, or aren’t around, we are, and we’re so fucking proud, and I’m defintely getting yelled at later for saying fuck in front of you,”

I laugh and give her a quick squeeze, wiping at my eyes and chuckling. I separate myself from them, and cup my hands around my mouth.

 “I’m definitely getting smoked for this, but I fucking love you all! You all treat me like a kid, and while that sometimes gets old, I’m so thankful that I have people in my life that care enough! Also, Mom and Mom, please don’t room me with Carlos! Carl, I love you, but you’re scary and I think you might kill me at any given moment, love you though,”

Everyone looks at me and I flash some dimples in hopes of not getting in trouble for swearing.

         “Okay, we’re going to let the fuck slide, but don’t get ideas, kid. Also, it’s very nice to know that Carlos is a valid threat, also, we love you too, just, stop chugging weird amounts of caffeine, please. And to conclude, you forgot to tie your swim trunks, I see that tattoo, who signed off? You’re 17, you need a signed consent form, kid…”

I grimace and run to the van, hoping they’ll cool off by the time we need to leave. 

 We’re all at the beach, Megan, Ali, and I all tanning while Kelly, Emily, Rose and Mal all play soccer tennis, Ash and Alex out surfing. 

 “You really thought they said meth, Y/N? Really? You’re like the best kid ever, why would you ever do meth?”

I grin and laugh and turn my face towards the sun, deciding to just enjoy my off day and to look forward to the future, together, with my team.
