Delta Landscaping | Chapter 7: FriDate Night Lights
Tumblr media
Series Summary: In this AU, the boys of Delta Force start a new business post-Colombia. 
Series Masterlist | AO3 Link for Chapter 7
Rating: Explicit (18+) 
Word Count: 9
Chapter Summary: I don’t want to spoil too much here, but we follow a few of the characters leading up and through a Friday night.
Chapter Warning: Swearing. Period talk. Reminder, I don’t have a beta for this, so any mistakes are all mine.
A/N: I know a few of you have asked about Frankie, so he gets a little scene here as we start to set up his storyline. (I’ve left some hints as to where he’s going). More notes from me at the end.
Please enjoy the latest episode of As The Mule Falls...
“So I think I’m going to ask Aria out for tomorrow night,” Connor said as he finished his latest set of squats. 
Benny, who was spotting him, grabbed the boy by the shoulders and shook him excitedly, “Hell yeah man! How’re you planning on doing it?”
“I was going to text her later…I don’t know, it seemed easy for Will to ask Katie out that way…” he trailed off as he went underneath the bar again, taking a deep breath.
Benny smirked, waiting for Connor to finish. “Ok, sounds good, where are you going to go then? Gonna do that food truck idea you had?” 
“Yeah. There’s just one problem,” he rubbed the back of his neck as Benny took his spot under the bar to do a set.
“What’s that?” 
“I, uh, I can’t drive.”
“Can’t your mom drive you?” Benny puffed out between squats, drawing the attention of a few women, and men, working out nearby.
“I don’t know…isn’t it kinda lame to have my mom drive me on a date?”
“Sounds like you don’t have another option. You guys gonna ride your bikes there?” Benny kept one arm dangling on the bar catching his breath, pulling up his shirt to wipe the sweat off of his brow. “Wait, Aria's older than you, can’t she drive?”
Connor rolled his eyes, “No…she said she doesn’t want to learn…driving scares her…”
“You trying to ask me to drive you?” Benny smirked as Connor looked at him sheepishly. “Actually, wait, her parents may not be cool with some random guy driving their daughter,” he laughed. “What if your mom drives but I’ll tag along and she and I go do our own thing? We won’t bother you, but that way you all can still go and have fun."
“You’d do that?” Connor’s eyes lit up.
“What? Hang out with your mom? I think there’re worse things I could be asked to do on a Friday night. Plus, we gotta get you out on a date bud!” He brought the boy in for a half hug, messing with his hair. 
“Ok, sweet.”
__________________________
“Hey Mom,” Connor walked through the door, dropping his gym bag in the laundry room.
“Hey bud, did you have a good time at the gym? Benny’s not beating you up too much, right?” Megan called to him from her office as she typed away.
“Nah, it’s all good. Hey, um, are you doing anything tomorrow night?” He walked into her office, sitting on the loveseat tucked in the corner of the room.
“Hmm…nope no plans, ‘specially since Katie will be occupied. Mel, David, and Ty are all going to a bar that gets too rowdy for me. I was probably going to go to Lulu’s if anything.”
“How do you feel about food trucks?”
“Aww, buddy. You trying to do something fun with your mom?”
“Uh, well,” he ran his hand over his face, “I was actually thinking of asking Aria out.” He dropped his eyes to the floor, fidgeting a bit with his hands.
Megan stopped typing and turned in her chair to face him trying to hide her smile. “You like her, huh?” Connor nodded. “Do you think she’ll say yes?”
“I hope so. But before I ask, I want to figure something out.”
“What’s that?”
“So…I don’t really have a way of getting there.”
“Oh, I can drive you, if her parents are cool with it.”
“Well, actually I was talking it over with Benny and he suggested maybe he could go with you, keep you company.”
Megan straightened up in her chair slightly, her brows furrowed. “Benny suggested that?”
“Yeah. Is that ok?”
“Sure,” she smiled. “It will beat being there alone, that's for sure. I promise we’ll try to not cramp your style.”
“What does that mean?”
"What does what mean?"
"Cramp my style?"
"Oh buddy, you don’t mean to but sometimes you make me feel so old," Megan shook her head laughing. 
__________________
Megan: Sounds like we have a date on Friday?
Benny: I know you’ve been wanting to ask me out for a while, figured I’d have to be the one to make the move.
Megan: Omg. 🙄 Hilarious.
Megan: Ok, but seriously…how are we doing to do this?
Benny: What do you mean? 
Megan: I want to give Con and Ari some space, but I also want to keep an eye on them.
Benny: Well, that’s my specialty. I’m pretty good at being stealthy. 😉
Benny: Can you send me a link to the place we’re going? Gotta do some recon.
Megan: linkMegan: Ooo so we get to go on a mission?! Do I need to bring anything? Binoculars? Should I wear camo?
Benny: Slow down mama bear, I’ll handle it. 
_______________________
“What are you smiling at?” Will looked over to Benny, who was sprawled out on the couch, smirking at the phone.
“Just doing some wingman shit,” he glanced up from his phone.
“Connor?”
“Yea, he asked out Aria. Looks like you aren’t the only one with a date tomorrow night.”
“Oh nice, good for him. Where’re they going? Please tell me you didn’t share any of your ‘going to the movies’ stories with him.”
“You’re one to fucking talk!” Benny laughed. “No, they’re going to this food truck thing that she’s apparently been dying to go to. Megan and I are taking them.”
“Oooh,” Will slapped his brother’s legs so he could move them to sit down. “You and Megan? I know you have a thing for moms, but you think that’s a good idea?”
Benny furrowed his brows, “No man, it’s not like that. She’s cool. I see her more like a sister than anything else.”
“Ok, well maybe she can be a wingwoman for you then. We gotta get you back out there man!”
“I’m ok.” Benny sat up, his mouth twitched as he kept his eyes on his phone. 
“Whatever you say. I just know that your dick is probably getting tired of your hand.”
“Fuck off. Think of your own dick and stop worrying about mine.” Benny rolled his eyes, grabbed his laptop, and headed to his room.
_______________________
“You have plans for tomorrow night?” Santiago poured himself and Frankie a glass of whiskey and sat on the couch to watch a soccer game.
“Well, no, I usually just wait for you to drag me to something. Who is she and what’s her friend like?” Frankie rolled his eyes as he grabbed the glass.
“No, no it’s not like that. Melissa,” Frankie side-eyed him, “and David and Ty are all going out.”
“I don’t know man, I’m kinda tired from this week. I was maybe going to see what Lulu was up to.”
“Why don’t you ever wanna do anything fun?” Santiago playfully shoves Frankie. 
“I do like to have fun, I just…got a lot on my mind is all.”
“It’s coming up on a year, right?”
“Yeah, about two weeks away.” Frankie swirls the ice in his glass. 
“I’m proud of you hermano. I know it hasn’t been easy.”
“Thanks,” Frankie gave a half smile before slapping Pope on the shoulder. “You helped me, so thank you.”
There wasn’t much that needed to be said between these two, they had been through the trenches not only in battle but in life as well. Even though they didn’t always acknowledge it, neither would have made it if not for the other’s support along the way.
“So Melissa…what’s going on there?”
Santiago got up to refill their drinks, not saying anything until he sat back down again. “Nothing.”
“Nothing. Ok.” Frankie scoffed before taking another sip.
“Look, she needs a friend.”
“I think she has a lot of friends, a whole damn neighborhood full of them.”
“Yeah, but all of those people are friends with Danny too. She can’t really be honest with them.”
“And she can be honest with you?”
“I’m a neutral third party.”
“Neutral?” Frankie chuckled, taking off his hat to inspect it. 
"What are you doing?"
“Just wanted to check to see if my hat said ‘I’m a fucking idiot’ on it.” Frankie rolled his eyes as he ran his fingers through his curls and put the hat back on his head.
Santiago paused for a moment, trying to pick his words carefully.
“Ok look,” he sighed. “She’s having cold feet about getting married. And before you say anything, she brought this up…she has no one to talk to about this stuff. Everyone on that damn street is friends with the guy, so someone is bound to slip and say something to him. And her family? They’ve been pressuring the two of them to get married and have kids for years now, they aren’t going to want to hear that she's having second thoughts and wants to slow down.”
“Which is it?” Frankie cuts in.
“What?”
“Is she having second thoughts about whether or not she wants to be with Danny or does she just wish everyone would slow down?”
“I-”
“Because it makes a big difference, Pope. She know about Sofia?”
“No.”
“You gonna tell her at some point?”
“If it comes up, sure.”
Frankie nods and rolls his eyes. “Ok, hermano.”
“Well since apparently you can’t trust me to be around her by myself, wanna come with me Saturday? She wants some stuff done to the backyard and I said I’d go take a look…was gonna ask Benny but he and Will are going to be at Katie’s. You have a good eye for stuff like that, though.”
“So I’m your last choice, cool, I see how it is,” he smirks, barely able to get it out with a straight face. “Yeah, I’ll go with you. Sounds like a plan.”
___________________________
“Ugh, I don’t know, is this too much? Like I’m trying too hard?” Katie propped her phone on her dresser and twirled in front of it to show Megan her outfit. 
“I mean, you’re going to be doing some walking I’d imagine, so the stilettos probably aren’t going to be the most comfortable. What kind of sundress options do you have?”
“Uh, one sec lemme grab some. What are you wearing?” Katie called from her closet.
“Jeans and a cute top I guess. I don’t know, figured my yoga pants and oversized tee aren’t the right move.”
“Especially when you got a hot younger guy with you,” Katie returned with a few dresses in her hands. 
“Benny is hot, but c’mon, he’s like a little brother. He’s got too much energy for me,” she laughed. “Case in point, he’s apparently going to have this whole thing set up like we’re going on a mission.”
“Haha. Will told me that he’s “cased” the whole place via satellite and knows where the two of you can “post up” so you can see what the kids are up to,” Katie laughed while doing finger quotes.
“It’s cute. I really appreciate how he and the boys have taken Connor in…it’s really sweet. Oh hey, wait, show me that one again.”
Katie held up a midi dress that had a green print with white and pink flowers on it, giving it a retro vibe. It had a sweetheart neck with tie straps. “This one?”
“Yes, is that new?”
“Yeah, I bought it a few weeks ago on a whim at that consignment shop in South Tampa. I don’t know, it seems kinda fancy, no?”
“Can you just shut up and put it on? I want to see!”
Katie quickly strips out of her loungewear and slips the dress on. It hugs her curves in just the right places and shows off just enough cleavage to be flirty without showing everything.
“That’s the one. Will is going to lose his mind when he sees you in that.”
Katie blushed a little as she swished the bottom of her dress around, admiring herself in the full-length mirror she hastily attached to the back of her bathroom door. 
“Ok, so we have a winner. And for my hair…I’m thinking of putting it up. It’s so damn hot out, my curls would fall in a second with the humidity.”
“Yeah, I think that works. Oh shit, Connor just jumped out of the shower, so I’m gonna get ready. Please send me a photo of the final look…please!”
“I will…have fun and tell Connor I wish him luck. And please try and give that boy some space!”
____________________________
“You’re wearing that?” Benny looked up from the notebook he was doodling in to see his brother in the kitchen wearing dark wash jeans and a black button-up shirt tucked into his jeans. 
“What do you mean? This looks nice, doesn’t it?”
“You’re gonna be sweating your balls off. Doesn’t that place have a bunch of places to walk around and shit?”
Will contemplated what his brother said, annoyed that he did make a good point. He turned on his heels and went back down the hallway to his bedroom, emerging a few moments later with a white henley-style shirt. He left a couple of the top buttons unbuttoned. He also switched to a pair of lighter-wash jeans and brown boots. “This better?”
“Hell yeah, you don’t look like such a nerd.”
Will rolled his eyes, “didn’t realize you were the fashion police there, Ace?”
Benny frowned at the use of his call sign. The guys only used it these days when they wanted to get under his skin. He sat silent for a moment, doodling in his notebook.
“I’m sorry I called you that Ben,” Will sat down across from him. “What time are you headed over to Megan’s?” He said, eager to change the subject.
“Oh shit, I need to go,” Benny got up quickly, grabbing his wallet and phone from the kitchen counter. “And don’t forget, we have to go to Katie’s house in the morning so if you’re there just shoot me a text so we don’t traumatize the kid. I know how you like your morning sex.”
And with that Benny left to head down the street to Megan’s house, leaving Will to pace around. He was early, too early to head to Katie’s. They agreed to meet at 7:30, so he did some quick calculations in his mind, realizing he could run down the street to Publix and still be back with plenty of time to spare. He went to grab his wallet when something fell from it. 
“Fuckin Benny,” he sighed and then chuckled.
His younger brother had left him a condom in his wallet with a sticker that said “You can do it” affixed to the wrapper.
________________________
Benny rang the doorbell and instantly heard Bucky barking.
“Oh stop it, you know Benny. He gives you treats, remember?” Megan scolded the dog as she opened the door.
And then, almost on cue, Benny fished out a couple of treats from his pocket which made Bucky’s little paws tippy tap onto the tile. 
“You spoil him, y’know that?” Megan rolled her eyes and laughed. "Oh look, you wore sleeves. I feel so honored I get formal Benny for tonight!"
“It's not spoiling…I just don't want him nipping at my heels. And thanks, I thought I'd dress up for you,” he winked.
Benny was dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a black T-shirt, the sleeves fitting snugly around his biceps. He left his trusty hat at home, slightly annoyed that his hair kept getting in his eyes.
“He’s a herding dog, they do that sometimes. He’s trying to keep you in line,” she teased, opening the door further for Benny to walk in. 
“Where’s the man of the hour? We’re going to be late.”
“Jeez, you’re almost as bad as Will,” Katie smirked as Benny gave a faux shocked look. “I said almost. Will’s probably been ready to go to Katie’s since before you left right? And they don’t even leave for at least another half hour.”
“Maybe. Maybe not," Benny teased. "I could tell he's nervous."
"Well, if it's any consolation she is too. She tried on a ton of outfits. I haven't seen her this giddy over a date in a long time, maybe ever."
"I'm sure she’ll look beautiful. I saved Will so he doesn't look like too much of a dork," he smiled.
"You guys ready to go?" Connor came from down the hallway. He was dressed in black shorts, a white and black striped polo shirt, and some Vans.
"Aw look at yo-" 
"Mom, don't start. You aren't going to make it weird are you?"
"Nope that's why I'm here, we're going to keep it cool right Meg?" Benny wrapped an arm around Megan's shoulder.
"Yeah, I'll be fine C. I just can't believe you're going out on your first date!"
Connor groaned. "I'm starting to regret this…"
"It's all good man, you'll be fine. Let's just see how it goes when we pick Aria up. I'll find some story to entertain your mom with, so there won't be any awkward silences," Benny smiled as he ushered Megan and Connor outside and into her SUV.
________________________
Will's calculations were correct and he was back with an arrangement of flowers with about 10 minutes to spare. Rather than go back home, he drove to Katie's driveway and waited in his car.
"I should wait another five minutes, right?" Will asked himself in the mirror, hyping himself up.
He was nervous. He had gone on dates here or there, usually helping be a wingman to Santiago whenever Frankie or Benny didn't want to fill in. And it also didn't help that he really liked Katie. He felt comfortable around her like he had known her forever.
With one big exhale, he gathered the flowers and walked to her door.

Katie got an alert from her Ring camera when Will parked in her driveway. She got instant butterflies, excited about the prospect of spending some time alone with him. 
She busied herself with packing her purse, waiting for him to knock on the door. After a few minutes, she checked the Ring camera again and saw he was still in his Jeep.
"What are you doing, Will?"
She then saw the Jeep door swing open as he got out.
"Fuck, he looks so hot. Ok, get it together." She gave herself a little pep talk in the hallway mirror.
_________________________
Will knocked on the door and waited a few moments before he heard the door unlock and swing open. He was a bit dumbstruck when he saw Katie. She looked beautiful in a dress that showed off her curves. Her hair was gathered at the top of her head, exposing her neck which he wanted to instantly nuzzle. His mouth went dry but he knew he had to say something. 
He cleared his throat, "H-hi, you look absolutely beautiful. I feel really underdressed now, I knew I shouldn't have changed…"
"You look great, Will," Katie cut him off.
"Thanks," he blushed. "Uh, these are for you."
"You got me flowers?" Her face softened as she took the bouquet of assorted flowers from his hands. "I honestly can't remember the last time a man got me flowers, thank you."
"Well, my mom would be very disappointed in me if I showed up empty-handed, especially when there’s a pretty girl involved," Will chuckled.
Her face got hot. "Here, come in, let me put these in water before we go."
“You know, they last longer if you put them in some Sprite”
“Wait, really?”
“Yeah, it's kind of weird, but it works.”
She scampered over to the kitchen and grabbed a vase from underneath her kitchen sink. They made small talk as Katie cut off the stems and arranged the flowers. Will couldn't help but notice that she hadn't stopped smiling.
"There. All set. Thank you, this was really sweet."
Will moved over to where she was and leaned one arm on the kitchen island while he looked Katie up and down, licking his bottom lip.
"I'm glad you liked them."
Katie and Will's eyes locked onto one another and he stepped forward, a hand coming to her waist.
"I really like this dress, by the way."
"Thanks," Katie closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You don't look too bad yourself."
"Oh no?" He smiled as he leaned in to kiss her, his other hand cupping her face.
Will started off slowly, but when Katie's nails scratched his scalp he felt emboldened and walked her back towards the kitchen counter. He started trailing kisses along her jaw and then to her neck, his eyes slightly rolling back in his head as he breathed in the vanilla and rose scent of her perfume.
"W-Will, you keep going like this and we aren't going to make it to dinner," Katie let out with a shaky breath.
"I don't see the problem with that," he smirked as he moved along her collarbone.
Katie pulled his head back, "All in due time soldier. The faster we leave the faster we can come back," she winked.
"Deal," he smiled, giving her one more kiss before he stepped aside so she could walk in front of him. "Let's go."

"Hola Lulu, you here?" Frankie called as he walked through the door, the smell of Lucille's amazing cooking hitting his nose as he stepped across the threshold.
"Si mijo!" She called from the kitchen.
He walked around the corner just as she was taking the last of her empanadas out of the oil to lay on a paper towel-lined plate. "You know, you should keep your door locked. Especially at night, don't know who will come walking in," he smirked as he leaned against her counter. 
"Ay Francisco, que gracioso," she laughed as he came in to kiss her on the cheek. "Just you tonight?"
"Yeah, Will has his date with Katie and then Benny and Megan drove Connor and Aria somewhere." 
"Y Santiago?"
He shook his head, "He went with Melisa, David, and Ty out.”
She side-eyed him, thinking about asking his opinion on Santiago and Melissa, but she refrained when she saw the rush of sadness that washed over his face. He shook it away and smiled, sitting down at the table as she brought over a plate of food.
"This looks amazing, Lulu. You spoil me, you know that?" He winked.
"I'm happy to do it, Francisco. You keep an old lady company," she smiled and patted him on the arm as she went to box up some of the food into containers for Frankie to take to the guys. "Dime, you don't have a girl to take out on a Friday night?"
"No, ha it's uh…it's been a while for me on that front," he shook his head, taking a bite.
"Eres guapo. And you are a nice young man. I’m sure you have some interested ladies."
"I…uh, I’m not really focused on that right now. I guess I wanted to get myself together a bit before I do that again." His mouth twitched as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I actually wanted to talk to you about something. Have I told you that I have these um…meetings I go to every week?"
"You've mentioned them. For work, right?"
"Uh, kind of," he rubbed one hand up and down his thigh.
Lucille sensed his nerves and came over to sit next to him, holding his hand. "Dime, my cielo. Que te pasa?"
"I. I don't want you to think differently of me," he looked down but a squeeze from Lucille's hand gave him the courage to meet her eyes. "I am…I've been…clean for almost a year,” he sighed. “I fell into some bad stuff and I couldn't shut my brain off so I turned to…drugs…to help me. But it didn't help me, it just made everything worse. I was a really shitty friend, brother, uncle for a long time. And my girl, well, I thought she was my girl," he rolled his eyes, "she messed things up for me too. Anyway, we did one last…trip…the guys and me, and when I came back I decided to change things. Going to the meetings was a big first step for me and I've been trying to repair everything I broke since then."
A silence fell between them as Frankie fidgeted in his seat, he didn’t intend to say all of that but it just flowed out of him. He was nervous about how Lucille would react knowing more about him. It wasn’t something that he offered up freely to people, given the reactions he had received in the past. On top of that, Lucille reminded him so much of his late mother and he felt ashamed at what she would think if she saw how low he had gotten. It was bad enough that his sister had to bear witness to some of it.
Lucille's eyes raked over the man sitting before her. She could see the fear and shame oozing out of him as his shoulders hunched in. He looked like a little boy who was afraid to get punished. 
"Mijo," she grabbed one of his large hands with both of hers, rubbing circles with her thumb. "You said it's been almost a year?" 
He nodded. "Yeah, in a couple of weeks, it will be 365 days."
"That's amazing, I'm so proud of you Francisco," she smiled as he looked up at her, tears welling in his eyes. "That is the hardest work we can do, the work we have to do on ourselves. You are a good man. I know I've only known you for a little while but I can tell you have a good heart, you care about your friends, and you are a hard worker."
Frankie let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding in. "You aren't going to kick me out?"
"What?! No! Why would I do that?"
"I've done some bad things, some of it I still can't…I'm still working through it."
"I can only imagine the things you boys have seen and have had to do," she cupped his cheek. "But you can't let that define you, okay?"
"I sometimes think about what my mom would say if she saw me…saw what I turned into."
"She would love you, no matter what. And she would be so proud of how strong of a man you are to admit that you needed help." She wiped a tear that fell from his eyes and moved to hug him.
They stayed in their embrace for a few moments as Frankie cried. Lucille didn't say anything, knowing that he had probably been needing this for a while. She just rubbed his back and told him how proud she was of him.
“I was never blessed to have a child, but if I had a son, I would have hoped he’d be like you Francisco.”
He pulled back, rubbing the heels of both of his hands in his eyes. “Sorry, Lulu, I didn’t mean to come over here and be a mess, I don’t even know where this all came from.”
“Don’t apologize, mi vida. I’m so happy you felt safe to share,” she smiled. “You said you are a brother…do you have a sister or a brother?”
“A sister, Valeria. She’s younger than me but she’s the good one, unafraid to be herself” he chuckled. “She’s got a great job and two kids. And her wife is amazing too.”
“That sounds great! When’s the last time you saw her?”
Frankie let out a long sigh, leaning back in the chair. “In person? Psh, Leia was around six months, not last Christmas, but the Christmas before. So like over a year and a half, I guess. I couldn’t make it to her first birthday because I was too messed up. I missed the flight.” The sadness washed over him again.
“Do you speak to her? Your sister.”
“Oh yeah, I’ve been talking with her more regularly, it’s been nice. The kids are getting so big.”
“How old are they?”
“Well, Leia is about to turn two in…” he checked his phone. “Wow, next week. Hold on, let me put a reminder to buy her a gift tomorrow,” he laughed. “And Antonio is five.”
“Where do they live?”
“In Dallas. We grew up outside of Houston, actually down the street from Benny and Will, funny enough,” he chuckled. “She moved around for college and grad school but they eventually went up there because of Alyssa’s job.”
“Why don’t you go visit them?”
He furrowed his brow, “What? No, I couldn’t do that. It’s too last minute.”
“Do you know that?”
“N-no, I guess not.”
“Why don’t you call and ask?”
Frankie brought his hands to rest in his lap fidgeting with a hangnail on his thumb. After a few moments, he cleared his throat. “Do you mind if I do it here? You know, in case it doesn’t go well?”
“Por supresto, but I don’t think you have anything to be nervous about.” Lucille rubbed his arm, giving him an encouraging smile.
Frankie pulled out his phone and looked at it for a moment, “here it goes.”
_________________________
“Alright, you two have fun. We’ll meet you back here at 9. But text if you need anything.”
“Ok, mom.”
“And have your phone on you in case we need to call you.”
“Yes, mom.”
“And if you try and contact me and don’t hear back then call Benny, okay?”
“I think they got it there Mama Bear,” Benny laughed, cutting off Megan’s rambling. “Y’all have fun. And don’t do anything I would do,” he winked at Connor.
“Thanks for driving us, Mrs. Shay!” Aria smiled, waiting for Connor to lead them away.
“You can call me Megan, sweetheart.”
“Love you, mom. See ya Benny.”
Benny put his arm around Megan’s shoulder and forced her to turn around. “Let them walk away, we’ll keep an eye on them,” he winked. 
Megan tried to put her nerves aside, curious to see what Benny had up his sleeve.
“So what’s the play?”
“Well, I scouted it out and there’s a spot I think is going to work out well. We just need to pick something up first….ah there he is! What’s up, Jax?”
“Ben, good to see you, man.” The man gave Benny a handshake and a half hug.
“Jax, this is my friend Megan. The one I was telling you about.”
“Ah, the protective mom. Nice to meet you,” he extended his hand to shake Megan’s hand.
She shook his hand and looked between the two men. “Sooo…what’s going on?”
“Well, I knew if I carried a bag Connor would notice, so I got Jax here to get some of my supplies together. He's an old buddy of mine. You and I, my dear, are doing a stakeout!” Benny grinned from ear to ear.
Jax brought out a backpack and he and Benny started unpacking. There were a couple of binoculars, a couple of power banks to charge their phones, and some snacks. 
“Oh my gosh Benny, you are ridiculous,” Megan laughed. “This is great…and really sweet.”
“I knew you would be a nervous goddamn wreck, so this way we can keep an eye on the kids. Hey, maybe you’ll loosen up enough that we can go grab a drink or something.”
“Deal,” she chuckled, grabbing the binoculars from him. 
“Thanks, Jax, I’ll leave this in the drop zone when we’re done. I Venmo’d you already, so you should be good to go.”
“Sounds good, brother. I’ll see you around. Have a good night, ma’am.”
Megan waved as Jax walked away, seemingly disappearing into the crowd.
“Ok, c’mere. The spot I’m thinking of is up here.”
Benny led the way, finding a small hill perched between a couple of trees. He scanned the food truck park and within seconds the smile on his face grew. “Gotcha! See over there at 11 o’clock?” He pointed to their left, lifting up Megan’s binoculars. 
She scrunched her face, confused as to what Benny was referring to. She skeptically brought the binoculars to her eyes, “I don’t know what you’re looking at…oh shit, is that them?”
“Mhmm.”
“How’d you do that?”
“Lotta practice, I guess,” he shrugged.
Through the binoculars, Megan saw Connor and Aria in line for one of the food trucks. They seemed a little nervous, exchanging looks and nervous laughter. 
“Oh shit, I didn’t remind him to pay. Do you think he’s going to? He should, right? It’s a date. Oh man, my little boy is out on a date.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. We may need to get that drink sooner than I thought,” Benny laughed. “Just watch, the kid’s got it.”
And sure enough, when it was their turn to order, Connor put his hand on Aria’s back letting her go in front of him. After she placed her order, he did and pulled out his phone, tapping it on the terminal. Aria smiled and grabbed his hand as they waited for their food to be called.
Megan pulled the binoculars from her eyes and looked to Benny who winked at her, “Told ya. He’s a natural.”
“How did he? How’s he so smooth? Did you?”
Benny shrugged. “He asked questions and I just told him what I would do. But I told him to do whatever felt right.”
“Benjamin Miller you are going to make me cry,” she playfully slapped his arm. “This was really sweet Benny, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Now, we can stay here and monitor them. But I figured if you saw them, it would ease your mind. Let them have fun!”
___________________________
The food truck park had a beer garden with TVs playing a baseball game, so Megan and Benny found a table and nursed a beer. 
“Ok, so tell me. Why are all of you guys single?” Megan asked as she took a sip. 
“Ha, well I don’t know. It’s just kinda happened. I think this is the longest we’ve ever gone where all of us are single, now that I think of it. Although, of all of us, Pope is the only one that has somewhat of a consistent dating life. That guy could flirt with a wet paper bag and probably get it pregnant,” he laughed. 
“He does seem like quite the flirt,” she laughed.
“Sure is. He’s dragged all of us out on a double date at least once in the past year.”
“And nothing’s worked out?”
“Nah, although if I’m honest, it wasn’t something I was interested in. I had a really bad breakup a few years ago, and then did some shit I wasn’t too proud of in the fallout. I guess after we all retired, I just wanted some time.”
“Nothing wrong with that. Can I ask what happened? With your ex?”
“Um…I’ll say this. She didn’t treat me the best and I was too in love, well, I thought it was love. I was blind to a lot of it. And it took damn near an intervention for me to see it,” he sipped on his beer. “That was a hell of a night. There I was thinking we were going to read Fish the riot act for all the shit he was pulling and turns out Pope and Will turned the tables and I got a wake-up call too.”
“Oh shit.”
“Yea. In the moment I was so fucking pissed, but now that it’s been almost a year I can see things more clearly. Pope and Will…and Frankie, although at that time he was as shit of a friend as I was, they love me and wanted the best. They could see how…destructive I was being and they pulled me out.”
Megan reached out to pat Benny’s shoulder. “That’s nice that you have them. We’re happy to have you too,” she smiled.
“Thanks. You know, we’ve moved around a lot but I feel like we can finally maybe make roots somewhere ya know?” 
“Yeah. That’s awesome,” she smirked.
“What’s so funny?”
“Well, now that Katie is off the market I have no one to be a wingwoman for. Looks like you’re my next victim.”
Benny groaned, “Oh jeez. You sure you don’t wanna go spy on Connor again?”
___________________________
The conversation between Katie and Will flowed naturally on their drive. Will was thankful for the kiss before they left, it helped to relax him.
“So are you gonna tell me where we’re going?”
Will quickly glanced over to Katie, “You don’t like surprises?”
She smirked looking out the window trying to see if she could guess where they were going based on the streets. “I do, but I still want to know.”
“We’re almost there.”
Will smiled to himself as he kept navigating to their destination. It had been a while since he had gone on a date, so he asked Santiago for some ideas. He also texted Megan to vet some of the places, the last thing he wanted to do was take her somewhere she had a bad experience on another date.
He finally landed on an idea that was named one of Tampa’s best date night spots. It was located right on the Hillsborough River with vendors for food and drinks along with a marketplace. 
“So, I think we’re in Tampa Heights…ooo are we, no never mind,” she shook her head.
“What?” Will smirked, raising an eyebrow. He was amused that she was close to catching on to where they were going and she seemed excited about it.
She smiled and kept her gaze out of the window as Will turned onto Market Street. “Oh my gosh, we are going there aren’t we?”
Before them was a large former industrial facility that had been restored, keeping its historical charm with some modern touches. There was a rooftop bar and vendors scattered throughout. 
“Oh my gosh, I’ve read about this place and saw it on Instagram! It looks even more beautiful in person! Did you know that this used to be a maintenance barn for TECO streetcars and trolleys? They completely renovated it a few years ago but they kept some of the original features like exposed brick, skylights, windows, and even some of the hardwood floors are supposed to be from the original place. How’d you know?”
Will parked the car and turned to look at her, “I had a feeling. Seemed like a place you might like. I knew you liked design, but I didn’t realize how much, so that’s a bonus.”
She leaned over and kissed him, gently cupping his face. “Thank you, this is awesome.”
“We haven’t even left the car yet, how low were your expectations?”
She rolled her eyes, “Oh stop it. C’mon, let’s go!”
They hit up the food stalls first, looking up and down the vendors to see what they wanted. There were a ton of choices from pizza to sushi and everything in between. Katie liked that they could each get something they wanted.
“One of these spots ok? They have a restaurant upstairs if you would rather do that.” 
“No, this is great! Why don’t we grab some bites here and then maybe have a drink upstairs?”
“I like the plan, I also like that you aren’t trying to run for the hills,” Will said as he pulled her in for a quick kiss.
“Don’t be silly, I don’t wanna leave. You haven’t paid for my dinner yet,” she winked and laughed as Will kissed her again.
Katie finally settled on a couple of sushi rolls which looked like works of art, while Will opted for some empanadas.
“Lucille is going to kill you if she knows you ate someone else’s empanadas,” Katie laughed.
“Well, it can be our little secret,” he winked. 
They enjoyed their meal, sampling another couple of vendors before venturing to a little shop to see what the local artisans had on display. Katie’s eyes lit up looking at all of the art and home decor. She dragged Will from one corner of the store to the other as she admired all of the pieces. She reached a wall full of clocks, looking each one over. 
“Do any of these stand out?” Will asked as he stood next to her, observing both her and the clocks in front of him.
“Hmm...a few. Just trying to decide which room I'd put one of these in.” She crossed her arms in front of her, tapping her index finger to her lips, causing Will’s breath to hitch as he itched to kiss her again.
Her eyes fell on a very simple, minimalistic clock. It was round, gray, and bare; no numbers appeared on the clock face. The hour and minute hands were very simple silver bars. She could feel Will’s eyes on her, no doubt probably judging her. “What?”
“Nothing. I just wouldn’t have pegged that one for you. But I like it,” he smiled.
“You do? You don’t think it’s too simple?”
He shook his head. “No, I think simple can be nice sometimes.”
“I think it can go in my bedroom maybe, or office.”
“Well, let me get it for you,” he looked over, knocking his shoulder against hers.
“What? I can’t let you do that, Will.”
“But I want to. Please?”
She smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him. “Thank you.”
Once Will paid, he took the bag in one hand and gave Katie his other arm as they headed upstairs for a drink. After their first cocktail, the pair moved a bit closer together, Katie not so conspicuously touching Will’s arm whenever she threw her head back in laughter. Will found his hand gravitating to rest on Katie’s thigh, rubbing circles with his thumb. 
They finished a couple of rounds of drinks and decided to head down to the river for a walk. On the way, Katie reached for Will’s hand, resting her other hand on his bicep so she could curl into him. His chest puffed out a bit, proud that she was on his arm as he observed men walk by and check Katie out. For her part, Katie noticed all of the eyes that trailed after Will.
“This has been an awesome night, thank you,” Katie stopped and looked at Will who was bathed in moonlight. “It’s the best first date I’ve been on in…well, a long time, I’ll put it that way.”
“Good, I’m glad,” Will smiled as he leaned in, grabbing the back of her neck to kiss her. It wasn’t until someone walked by and whistled that they remembered they were in public. 
“We should probably head out huh?” Katie managed with a breathy tone. 
“Yeah, that’s probably a good call.”
__________________________
Megan and Benny returned to the rendezvous point a few minutes early, Megan looking around trying to spot Connor and Aria.
“They’ll be here. Jesus, can you calm down!”
“I can’t help it. I feel like I did really well, all things considered.”
Benny threw his head back to laugh while rolling his eyes, “You went a whole hour. Congratulations. Ow!” Megan playfully slapped him on the arm.
“Hey, mom!”
Megan turned around to see Connor and Aria holding hands. “Oh my gosh, look at-”
“Y’all have fun?” Benny interrupted.
“Y-yea, it was a lot of fun,” Aria said looking up at Connor, who blushed.
“Sweet, I want to hear all about it on the drive home.” Benny smiled.
______________________________
Will kept his hand on Katie’s thigh as they talked on the ride home. They both wondered how the Connor and Aria date night went, knowing they would get full debriefs from a best friend and brother who were equally as excited to hear about their evening, whenever it ended.
As they got closer to Torrey Hills, they got a little quieter. Will wondered how to end the date, although if he had his way he'd still be there in the morning. Katie fidgeted with her hands, looking out the window. She had prepared herself for whenever the night may hold, opting for her favorite pair of silky underwear she hoped Will would like. It had been a while since she had sex with anyone, the furthest she’d gone in recent months was some fingering and a blow job here or there.
She shifted a bit in her seat, feeling a bit of pressure in her lower abdomen. 
Fuck. This better not be happening.
“Everything ok?” Will asked, looking over at her when he stopped at a red light.
“Y-yeah, sorry,” she gave a tight smile. “Just daydreaming.”
“Ah, okay,” he turned his gaze back to the road, giving her thigh a slight squeeze.
Once Will turned down Mule Fall Court, Katie’s blood pressure started to spike. She didn’t want to give Will any false impression before she could confirm what she thought was happening to her body. 
He parked in her driveway and kept the Jeep running. “I…uh, I had a great night, Katie.”
“I did too,” she leaned over the center console and pressed her lips to his. His hand gently rested on her neck. As she pulled away, she slightly sucked on his bottom lip. “D-do you want to come in for a drink?” 
Will rubbed his bottom lip with his thumb and gave her an up-and-down, “Yeah, I’d like that.”
He took her hand as she led him up her sidewalk to her porch and front door. As she reached for her keys in her purse, Will pressed soft kisses to the back of her neck as his hands moved to her waist. Katie giggles as she struggles to concentrate on opening her door. 
She finally successfully opened the door, after struggling to get the key into the lock a few times thanks to Will. She turned to close the door and he met her, grabbing her face to bring her in for a kiss as he kicked the door closed. Getting caught up in everything, Katie started to thread her hands underneath his shirt, feeling his taut back muscles. His hands move up her dress to the zipper.
“W-wait,” Katie pulled back. 
Will pressed his forehead to hers, “Sorry, I didn’t mea-”
“No, no it’s ok. I…uh…I just need to use the bathroom,” she chuckled. “I’m so fucking lame.”
“Oh. Well yeah, go ahead. I can, uh, I can wait for you here.” He motioned to her couch.
“Ugh sorry, stupid bladder,” Katie whined. “I’ll be right back.” She gave him a quick peck before she rushed down the hallway to her bedroom. 
Will sat down on the couch, trying to not get his hopes up. He wondered if maybe this was a ploy for her to change into something else, the thought of which made his dick twitch. 
She probably actually has to use the bathroom. He chastised himself. 
He felt his phone buzz.
Benny: Just made it home. I see you aren’t here so hope it’s going well. I won’t wait up 😉
“Fuckin Benny,” Will shook his head.
______________________
Katie rushed through the door of her bathroom quickly pulling down her underwear as she sat down to pee. She almost instantly felt a cramp. 
You have got to be fucking kidding me. 
When she wiped she saw what she had been dreading - blood. 
It would be my goddamn luck to be about to hook up with a hot guy and I get my period. Fuuuuck.
She froze a bit unsure what to do before ducking into her walk-in closet, closing the door, and pulling out her phone.
C’mon, pick up.
“I’m kind of mad you’re calling me this early in the night,” Megan said as she picked up the phone.
“Meg, fuck, you aren’t going to fucking believe this,” Katie whispered. “I got my period.”
“Oh shit. Where are you?”
“I’m in my closet, I told him I had to go to the bathroom. I started feeling crampy on the way home and I didn’t want him doing anything before I confirmed. Ugh, this sucks.”
“Ok, ok, hmmm. Let’s think about this. First of all, Will is super sweet so he’s totally going to understand. Do you want him to leave? Need me to fake an emergency or something?”
“No, no you don’t need to do that. I mean, I don’t know how he feels about this kind of stuff. But I’m definitely not trying to do anything tonight.”
“Katie. The man is almost 40, he lived with a woman before. I think he knows what a period is. Just tell him, I know he’ll understand.”
“Ugh, I can’t believe this is happening. It wasn’t supposed to come for another few days.”
“There’s a joke there somewhere, but I know you’re stressed so I won’t say it.”
“I can’t fucking stand you,” Katie laughed as Megan cracked up on the other end of the phone. “Ugh, I've been gone for a while, so let me go out there. Poor guy is probably thinking I snuck out of a window or something.”
“Well, good luck, not that you need it. The guy is totally into you. I’m sure he’s down to cuddle or grab a boob or something.”
“Bye!” Katie hung up the phone, popped in a tampon and scampered back out to the living room where Will was sitting with his eyes closed, legs wide as he rested his head on the back of the couch.
“Psst. Did you fall asleep on me?” Katie whispered.
Will squinted an eye open and smirked. “I would never fall asleep on you.”
Katie laughed as she came over to Will, standing between his legs with her hands on his shoulders as his hands trailed up her legs and under her dress. “So…I have some bad news.”
“What’s that?” He scrunched his face, bringing his hands back to rest on his thighs.
“I…uh…” Katie sat down next to him. “Shit this is going to sound presumptuous…but, um, I wasn’t sure if you were trying to…ugh.” She brought her head into her hands.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Did I do something to make you uncomfortab-”
“I’m on my period.” Katie blurted out, cutting WIll off. 
He looked from side to side, confused. “Ohhhhkay. And what’s the problem?”
“I…uh, well, I wasn’t sure if you wanted…I…”
“Hey! It’s ok,” he rubbed her back. “Are you feeling ok?”
She shook her head, “No, I'm starting to feel some cramps.”
“D-do you want me to leave? Or go get you something?”
“No, I…do you want to leave?”
“N-no. Whatever you want. I’m cool to just chill.”
“Really? You aren’t mad?”
“Mad? No. I just want to hang out with you…I mean, obviously I want to do more, but I can wait.” 
They looked eyes and Katie was overcome and pressed her lips to Will’s. “You are so fucking sweet you know that?" Will blushed. “You ok if we watch a movie?”
“Yeah, that’s fine with me.”
“Ok cool, I’m going to throw some sweats on. Just put on whatever, I don’t care,” she handed him the remote and walked to her room to change.
When she came back she saw Will rummaging through her freezer, finding a pint of ice cream, and moving to get a couple of spoons. Katie smiled to herself at how at ease Will looked in her space.
“Ah, there you are. This ok?” He held up the ice cream and spoons. “Wasn’t sure if you were an ice cream girl or a chocolate girl.”
“Ice cream is fine, Will, thank you,” She smiled as she sat on the couch, curling up in a blanket. 
Will sat in the corner of her couch and Katie scooched over to cuddle into his chest. He wrapped one arm around her, rubbing up and down her shoulder. She held the pint for both of them to eat as they watched a superhero movie. Frankly, Katie wasn’t able to concentrate on the screen, she was giddy over what was happening in real life. Will taking care of her, giving her a shoulder to rest on as they enjoyed a quiet night at home. She made a mental note to repay him when she felt a little better.
Katie’s eyes started to get heavy and Will heard her slightly snoring. She looked so sweet when she was sleeping. He felt bad waking her up, but he couldn’t let her sleep on the couch. 
“Hey, Katie,” he whispered, caressing the side of her face. 
She leaned into his touch, “Hmm? Shit, did I fall asleep?”
“Yeah, sweetheart you did. Here let’s get you to bed ok?”
“Can you come with me?”
“W-what?”
“Can you stay?”
Will felt his face get warm, “Y-you want me to?” Katie gave a sleep nod. “Ok, yeah. Um, here let me lock up and clean this stuff up and I’ll meet you okay?”
“‘Kay,” Katie got up and stretched before trudging down the hallway.
Will made quick work of checking all of the doors and windows and rinsed their spoons in the sink before heading to Katie’s room.
When he walked in, she was slipping into bed under the covers. 
“Um, i-is, is it ok if I get out these?” He motioned to his jeans.
“Yea, however you’re comfortable, Will,” she said half asleep already.
A/N: Hope you liked seeing a few different storylines take more shape. I know some of you may have questions about Santi’s night. The chapter was getting long and frankly nothing of consequence happened with him anyway, Melissa and the boys go out and have a fun night. I may do a little deleted scene sometime because writing David makes me laugh. Also, I know some have shipped Benny and Megan. I don’t want to play spoiler, but they are just friends. But don’t worry, romance is in both of their futures.
Will got down to his boxer briefs, leaving his jeans, shirt, and socks on the floor near the bed. He got into the bed facing Katie, who had her back to him. Once he was fully under the covers, Katie shuffled back towards him. Their bodies fit together like two puzzle pieces as he draped an arm around her waist, pulling her close. She could feel his breath which lulled her to sleep. Will took a deep breath and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Next Chapter
Let me know if you want to be on the tag list moving forward!! Apologies if I accidentally left you off, I do it all manually and may have missed someone … just let me know!

Queen bee (part 1?)
New member
Yandere! Letter bee reverse x chubby!fem! Reader ( in this part mainly Yandere! Dr. Thunderland jr.)
Warning : somnophilla, non con , unwanted touching, forced affection, unhealthy attraction
Author's note: my mood is very bad today.... By this post I want to divert my attention somewhere else. Plz no hate comments I'm already not in mood. Thanx for reading.
__________________________________________
Tumblr media
You came in the organisation like a fresh wind. Every one liked you very much . From children to adults. Your kindness was one thing that attracted them first . The way you talk to them and others but what drew them to you the most was your fluffiness.
And by fluffiness it meant your body. The most of the people in the beehive were lean and thin except Connor ofcourse. But you were more beautiful because of you heart . You were very curvy which made you very shy when someone as handsome as Largo came to ask you if you will accept the place he offers you to stay in exchange of working for him.
You were just trying to help a poor kid as you took that kid to a near by hotel . You feed the kid and then bought her some breads too for later then came inside to eat you own meal. You paid Sarah a generous tip while asking if there is any place here to stay.
Largo was looking at you from the start . He was at Sarah's place to drink some coffee. Sitting by the window side he was quite surprised , when he saw a old familiar face offering a begger her coat. He sat still when you brought the kid inside and feed him . You looked as if you were a noble but unlike them who would have been disgusted by the touch of a beggar you picked the kid up in your arms entering the cafe. Feed her and buying her more buns for later.
He was so mesmerized by your voice and smile that he forgot to breath . And then when you sweetly asked Sarah if she know about a place to stay near by he was shocked. That's where he entered the little chat you were having.
He introduced himself as the director of Beehive and asked about you. According to you you were a traveller who came here for medicine research purpose , Not knowing where to stay . You were a famous doctor from your place.
Like a gentle man he offered you one of the room in the Beehive in exchange of being their second doctor. You happily obliged apologizing to him about being a problem to them. Both of them , Sarah and Largo were smitten by you personality.
And they almost died because of your cuteness when Hunt came out from the kitchen and bartending area . And you suddenly hugged his one of the large arms leaving a very red and flustered Hunt. You later when noticed the three looking at you , you hurriedly let his hand go and started to apologise continuously with a red face. Saying that he looked so cute because of his hight just like a big teddy bear....
They all laughed at your cuteness and you came to the headquarters with Largo. And so here you were sitting with Niche on your lap braiding her hair while talking to the other children. And then suddenly you heard a rough voice.
"She is the one who you brought as my assistant??? She doesn't looks like she knows anything about medicine other than eating...."
Before Largo could have opened his mouth or a very angry Aria could have said something they all heard your soft but hard voice.
" Now that was rude for someone who needs an assistant...... I'm not here as your assistant but as an individual second doctor . Try to be less rude because I don't think you will be able to find someone with that attitude of yours and never judge a book by it's cover maybe ; you don't know it ...but I am someone with more knowledge than you doctor ......"
"Dr. Thunderland jr. .....thats my name my lady..."
"Y/n l/n. nice to meet you Dr. Thunderland hope you will work on your rude behaviour of yours ^^.
With that you took your suitcase in your arms and left for your room.
Dr. Thunderland stood there for a few minutes but then returned to his own lab. Whole night he was not able to sleep. The way you cut him off. The way you were not flustered he was taken aback. Whenever he tried to take rest and close his eyes your plump red lips came to his mind .
The most juicy and forbidden fruits he have ever seen in his whole life . He wants to take just one bite. He stood up to sit in his rooms balcony . And then he noticed you in your balcony. Your nightwear's shoulders dangling from left side and then cloth fitting your form so nicely.
Your plump body looking so beautiful in the starlight. He wants to touch it . Wants to dig his fingers in that soft goodness of your hips and waist . His head into the crook of your neck. All the while you mewl his name with your plump and love bitten lips . He wanted to throw the shawl you were using to hide your beautiful chest .
His air castle shattered when you called his name softly. He looked at you . And suddenly apologized. Thrice.... You started laughing..... He was looking at you laughing as if you were the most beautiful thing he had seen. You said
" i was just asking if you are also not able to sleep sir.... Why did you apologised??"
"For being rude to you ...sorry my intention was not to hurt you...."
"It's ok I didn't took that to heart . It's getting late *yawn* good night doctor... Have sweet dreams."
With that you left....he hated it....he wanted you to stay some more.....well that's not an issue.... And thats how now he was in your room through your balcony. You should have locked the door... But you left it open for air.
He slide his gloves fingers from your exposed ankle to the under of your night dress giving your hips a hard squeeze only to hear a small squeek. Fuck........... He took his cock out and started to jack off .
He caressed you face with his unoccupied hand . He pressed you lower lip with his thumb only for it to slide inside your mouth unintentionally;making him cum instantly. His cum spraying on your sleeping form . He hurriedly left your room after he wipe off the cum he was able to.
Fuck......you are going to be death for him..... He jumped to his rooms balcony. Setting his clothes,unaware of the stare of the director of the organisation, who didn't liked it even a bit.
If you like this, then buy me a ko-fi!!

anne is aria coded fjdjjdjdkdkdkdkkdkf
yeah the “difference is not bad, it’s just not the same” really hit it for me cause aria’s gonna have a speech exactly about that
like kelly put it, never judge a book by its cover may partly be a draco malfoy centric love story but primiarly it’s just me looking at the house system in hp and going “i can fix it”

Help Me Understand
Austin wants answers to his questions about love whether or not Aria's ready face her own answers.
Tumblr media
For @mimeticpolyalloy1000
Heavy footfalls, the forceful opening of a door, and the sudden blinding flash of artificial light after steady nighttime darkness bring Aria out of her sleepy time.
“Aria I need to ask you something,” Austin says formally announcing his presence only to be met with a sleepy and annoyed groan.
"Austin, not that I'm mad but why are you in my room at 3 in the morning?" At her response, he turns to look at the digital clock on her bedside, long enough to register the blinking numbers.
“... Should I come back later?” Aria sits up in bed making sure her pajamas, consisting of a thin tank and comfy pajama bottoms, covered everything. Not that she thinks Austin would give it much notice.
"No no, if I don't answer your question you'll just pace up and down the place keeping me up anyway." She says motioning him to sit down, expecting him to sit near the foot of the bed only to fluster when he sits down only a foot or two away from her. She clears her throat, composing herself before continuing “So what did you want to ask me?”
“I need you to explain what it means to love someone.” Less of a question, more like a demand said in the same factoid way of speech he has when intaking information.
"... Huh,” she uttered, wondering if it was too late to send him away. “Listen, love can mean different things to different people so I can't guarantee that it'll be the same to other people," Aria tells him, not very keen on having this conversation at all.
"Well, what does it mean to you?" Austin’s counter-question gave Aria pause, she had to turn away from him as she really thought about it. She had put the need to prepare for this moment on the backburner, both to keep a level head in the midst of the battle for the future and because she didn’t actually know how to describe love.
To Aria, love was once a cozy woodside cabin with a grandmother who smelled like lilac and taught her how to make paper flowers. Or an apartment with her mom who would bring home her favorite food from the diner she worked at. And her aunt Ginger who once had a bright smile and a contagious laugh, reserved for moments like when she tried to teach Aria how to use makeup to comically bad results. Nowadays, love came in the form of a mother who could be as cold and strict as gunmetal and just as unrelenting. Love also came in the form of her little brother with impish smiles and big hazel eyes that always betrayed his thoughts and emotions in a way only she was ever around to read. Her brother, who she was tasked to guard from the first moment her mother felt him kick and who she seriously vowed to protect when he first held her finger in his little baby fists.
“I think love means to care about someone enough to put their happiness and well-being over your own. Because when you see them smile and hear them laugh, you want nothing more than to make sure that they can keep it no matter what it takes…even if the means hurt you in the process.” When she was done talking she turned back to Austin, in time to see his gaze shift from her to just over her shoulder, Aria could tell he wasn't looking at anything in particular and was taking a moment to analyze her response both the intended verbal answer and the unintentional physical reaction she had to the question. It unnerved her how well Austin could read her and it’s with those same nerves that she asks her next question.
"Austin,” at the sound of Aria’s voice Austin focused his eyes back on hers, “we've been around each other for a few weeks now so why did you wait so long to ask."
"I needed time to process. I needed to know if these new… feelings would correspond with your explanation." He explains, simple words ladened with not so simple meanings.
"And?" Austin gave an uncharacteristic and unsure shrug. A very human gesture of cluelessness, too human for either’s comfort. "... What do you know, Austin?" Aria's voice seemed to startle her for a second as if she hadn't meant to say it out loud before she schooled her features back down to a neutral farce. She knew she had just asked a dangerous question but she needed to know his answer, for her own sake.
Austin shifted closer to Aria on the bed to the point he could faintly hear her heart beating at a quickened pace. He made sure to keep eye contact with her as he gave his answer.
"I know that I look for you when you're not around. I know that when you are, I can’t bring myself to be far from you. I know I've memorized everything from your appearance to your speech pattern. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to hear more of your voice. Doesn't stop me from wanting to… see more of you." His eyes flick down for the briefest moment and Aria's tank top suddenly felt way too heavy and way too thick.
“I know all these wants confuse and alarm me in a way I hadn’t been able to describe.” There was a ‘till now’ that went unsaid, but both knew it was insinuated.
“And most of all,” he says as he leans in even closer till their faces were inches apart, “I want to know what you know, Aria.” He says as his eyes roam her face searching for something Aria’s not sure she wants him finding. Apparently, he doesn't find it and he lets a small, almost sad, smile fall upon his lips.
“But I know that’s not gonna happen anytime soon,” he said as he leaned back still holding Aria’s attention captive, “So, for now, I’ll leave you to rest. Goodnight Aria.” And as swiftly as he entered, he left, turning off the lights and closing the door behind him. The only evidence that he had been there was the ragged breath Aria let out, after unconsciously holding it in. Despite Austin’s words and the early hour she knew she definitely wasn’t getting any more sleep tonight.
