:feat~ albedo, kaeya, zhongli, childe, ayato, thoma, alhaitham, kaveh x gn!reader:

⤷ we have a large crowd today here folks !! ⤷ cw: fluff because i don't know what to do in life !!

ᴛᴀɢʟɪꜱᴛ (open!) : @manager-of-the-pudding-bank, @iamdedinside, @ilyuu, @achlysis, @swivy123, @solxima, @poweredbyghostadventures, @haliyamori

"...That... That was your first kiss?"

As ALBEDO pulls away, gaze hazy as the slightest red blazes across his face, his voice comes out as more of a whisper. He touches two gloved fingers to his lips, letting them linger there, before glancing up at you, a mix of confusion in his flushed expression.

"Ah, how peculiar... how could that be?" It's as if he's in a trance. He surely hasn't felt these emotions before, and everything seems all too... new. Like he's been submerged headfirst into a world that he never knew existed.

But your touch was warm, and with you, he'd be okay with anything.

"'Bedo, what do you mean by that?" You tilt your head, still feeling the remaining sensations of his lips against yours.

Suddenly, the male seems to grow even more bashful - a side to him that most never came close to seeing... after all, as the renowned Chief Alchemist would surely never be caught like this. Flushed cheeks, hitched breathing... yes, never.

Things just seemed to change for you, whether he liked it or not.

"Well..." He starts off louder than intended, and his voice grows softer almost instantly. "I just thought you were quite popular in Mondstadt, so..." His words grow even fainter as he ducks his gaze. "I thought you'd have experience with past lovers."

You almost laugh at the notion, shaking your head as you smile at the male. "Nono, 'Bedo. This was my first, with you."

Those last two words almost seem to make the male melt as his expression grows affectionate.

"Yes, dearest. You were my first, and you will be my only." ♥

"Ohoh, your first kiss?"

You can tell from the lilt in KAEYA's smooth voice that you've caught his interest. His hands are still behind your head, hopelessly entangled within your hair, since he'd been kissing none other than you so affectionately only seconds before. "Then, just now…" A smirk makes its way upon his lips. "I was your first, hm?"

When you meekly nod in response, he draws in a shallow breath, seeming to revel at the idea. You can see the twinkle that's found its way into his eyes as he stares at you with something different in his expression.

The silence is finally broken as he speaks again. "Dove, I couldn't-" He takes a moment to pause, swallowing. "I didn't think that..." For once, the man seems speechless, completely, utterly, speechless.

So he opts to the one thing he does know, leaning forward as he moves his lips to yours. And once he starts, he doesn't stop, relentlessly stealing your breath away.

It takes him quite a while to pull away, and when he does, his face is flushed, neat hair disheveled. "Fuck." And even though he's a mess right now, all his gaze is fixated on you.

"As your first, I'm special to you, right?"

His words come to sort of a surprise, was he still lingering on what you had admitted minutes ago? But all the same, you nod your head, smiling at the male. "Of course, Kae."

The use of his nickname nearly sends his head spiraling, but he manages to stay composed - as composed as he needed, anyhow.

He takes your hands in his, his skin slightly cool to the touch as he clasps both of them over his chest with an air of satisfaction.

"And just because I'm your first, don't think I'll be leaving you for anything." ♥

"Have you never engaged in such romances before?"

The way ZHONGLI speaks to you sounds like he's quite confused - and you'd be correct. He is, because how could it be that someone as lovely and flawless as you have never had a lover?

It didn't make sense, even for someone with a millennia of life's experiences.

Still, upon your confession, a part of him has been stirred. Could it be that you were waiting for your true lover to appear, so that you would be able to dedicate yourself to them with all of you? It was a traditional way of thinking, no doubt, but Zhongli was, and is, a traditional man.

Your first kiss... was all his?

The thought of such... a luxury sends the man's head into a flurry. Was it true? Of course it was, you would never lie to him - yet still a part of him held doubt, not because you might not be telling the truth, but because was someone as imperfect as him really to be the one to share such an intimate moment with you? As the very first?

Even as a god, Zhongli, or Morax, has his fair share of regrets - situations he could've changed, loved ones he could have saved.

Ah, but with the way he's feeling now, the way his heart thumps, the way his lips still hold the lingering feeling of you, and the way his face can only burn...

"It is my honor, love. Not to worry, we will most certainly have more opportunities to do the same in the future." ♥

"Wait, wait, wait. Are you being serious?"

It's almost laughable the way CHILDE instantly seems to brighten. You're pressed into his body, yet his grip on you only tightens, as if he's afraid to let go. When he speaks again, excitement in his tone only growing, there's also something else in his voice that you can't exactly interpret. "Then, your first kiss was with me??"

He believes you, but he wants to hear the words again, just to affirm himself. To hear them come from your very lips, for you to admit such a thing... his features grow more joyful by the second.

"Yes." You tilt your head to the side, rather quizzically. You aren't able to comprehend why he's so thrilled, but happy all the same. The way Childe smiles, not like the fake facade he wears like a mask, but his true smile. The one that forces his lips into a grin, the one that almost seems to make his deep eyes sparkle.

Maybe you were imagining things, yet still, his smile meant all that much.

The male makes a sound that's in between a gasp and a laugh, his boyish tone filtering into his voice unknowingly. Quickly, softly, so subtle you don't realize it at first, you find that his arms have found their way around your waist, hugging you closer to his frame.

To be in his arms, all of it. It feels perfect.

There's the sensation of something - Childe's fingers under your chin as he tilts it up, staring into your eyes with an unimaginable adoration under his.

"That may have been only your first kiss, but don't think you'll last a day without receiving another one from me!" ♥

"Know that if you are telling lies, you will be punished for desecration."

However, it's easy to tell from AYATO's jesting tone that he's merely joking - from the upturned corners of his lips to the way his eyes seem to glimmer, all of these signs are small hints you've learned to memorize in order to read his usual hindered expression.

After all, commissioner Kamisato Ayato is expected to wear such masks, and that is what he does.

"Ah, perhaps you'll confess to your crime if I do this?" His smooth voice brushes past your ear as he leans into you, whispering just shy of your face. Then, he bridges the mere centimeters between the two of you, meeting his lips against yours for the second time that night. He was warm, yet his touch was cool - all of it, the rush of emotion and expression, sent your heart aflutter with every second that passed.

As he moves away, a serene smile graces his lips upon seeing your flushed expression, while on the other hand, he merely seemed unfazed. "Ahah, so it was true."

His quiet laugh does wonders to your heart, regardless of the situation. Soon, you feel something else - the graze of his gloved hand, one finger running across your chin as he stares at you, gaze unwavering.

"You chose me, and I'll make sure you don't regret it." ♥

"Y-Your first kiss... with me... ah-"

And just like that, you've turned THOMA into even more of a stuttering, blushing mess than he was merely moments before he had pulled away from his first kiss with you. You can tell he's overwhelmed, by the way he grasps at your arm for support, almost like he's going to tip and fall over if he doesn't. His skin is warm to the touch, but it's always been that way.

When he finally manages to steady himself and speak, his voice is faint, barely reaching your ears. "Me, of all people...? You... You're truly too kind..."

And you can tell, from the way he gazes at you after he speaks those words, that he truly means it.

"Thoma, what do you mean by that? Of course I'd choose you, if not, who else?" You beam at him, smiling, and you can see the male perk up, almost like a puppy of sorts.

It was endearing, the way he adored you so innocently.

Ah, but he'd always been like this. Loyal, someone who'd always put you first, who valued your life over his own. You swear you can see his forest eyes glistening, threatening to tear up. "Love, what did I ever do to deserve you?"

"I love you, Thoma, and it's as simple as that."

And just like that, you've managed to capture his heart once more, a heart that you had already taken. He finds his place in your arms, leaning his head against your body with a smile, his own warmth merging with yours. He doesn't need to answer, doesn't need to say a word. The way his eyes sparkle with such unbridled infatuation is enough to confirm it.

"I love you, and that will never change." ♥

"I expected as much."

"...What?" ALHAITHAM's answer is one that's caught you off guard, despite all the other surprising occurrences that had happened that night, mainly how his lips had met yours. While it was over in the span of seconds, that moment seemed to have stretched out for an eternity.

Ah, but then you glance up, and something in your mind clicks. Maybe it's about the way he's gazing at you with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, or the way his multicolored eyes glimmer. He's amused, and it's you who is the entertainment.

So you repeat your question. "What do you mean by that, Haitham?" You hadn't meant to sound so accusing, but it slips into your tone - the confusion, and perhaps the slightest shred of annoyance.

"Hm, should I leave it up to you to interpret?"

"..."

"Honestly, all I meant was that you seemed to be someone... inexperienced."

"...Elaborate?"

"Must I say more? You're a terrible kisser, that's what." A playful smile, graces his lips for the briefest moment. "But it's not a problem, hardly one at all. In fact, I enjoyed it." The male being so upfront about his feelings was a strange sight to behold.

"Hm, should I show you what a proper kiss looks like then?" And just like that, without waiting for an answer, he leans forward, hands roaming, one behind your chin and one behind your head, tilting you forward as his face meets yours, warmth spreading across your body like wildfire. Sudden, yes, but not unwelcome by any means.

You almost feel disheartened when he pulls away, breaths labored as he smirks. "Not much better, however..."

"I'm sure we'll have many more opportunities in the future." ♥

"...Darling, you have to stop me from falling in love with you all over again."

And KAVEH wouldn't be wrong - he's desperate. Because archons, every part of you, every small aspect of your being just sends him more and more deep into this hole he's dug for himself. Every time you laugh, he can hear his heart rate picking up, his face growing red. It's obvious when he's in love, both to him, and to the people around him.

He was already so hopelessly enraptured with you, yet every day, he could only feel himself grow more and more infatuated. It was something impossible to control, and perhaps that was why he chased it so much - the feeling of loving you.

You can only laugh at his words. "Aw Kaveh, that's too bad, isn't it?"

"Quite terrible indeed." Now he's laughing too, and not the quiet kind - the kind where he's nearly doubled over, one hand on your shoulders as he practically beams. "Now come on," he cups one hand around your cheek, smiling with a certain light in his eyes. "We can't just kiss once and call it a day, can we?"

"No Kaveh, we can't."

The warmth he feels with you is unlike anything else. Incomparable, perfect.

"You make it too easy to love you, darling." ♥

genshin men + random drabbles

18+. MDNI. forgive me for being this down bad. i am very sick and i wanted to write without a certain theme.

ft. venti, kaeya, dainsleif, zhongli, heizou

warnings: oral sex (f. receiving), mean kaeya :(, creampie, cockwarming, pussy slapping, spit, desk sex

☆ VENTI

venti is bubbly as ever as he goes down on you, eyes lidded as his kisses lead down your stomach, peppering along your bare thighs, lips finally landing on your cunt after what feels like an eternity. his kisses meet your clit before he begins to suck at your sensitive bud, grinning slightly against your drooling cunt as he listens to your frequent moans—music to his ears, truly.

venti's lips trail down, his tongue acquainting itself with your folds. it's in no time that he's completely drunk off of your taste, any rhythm he had to the motion of his tongue being entirely lost. his mouth is spastic, similar to everything else he does. venti mutters something against your soaked cunt, but there's no way to possible understand him.

all you can understand at this point is how good his mouth feels, how his mouth collecting your juices guides you closer to your orgasm. your thighs wrap firm around his head as each lewd swipe of his tongue coaxes you further towards your climax, until it all finally lets loose—your back arches as you cum on venti's tongue. he sees it as his reward—as he laps up every little drop, only coming away from your cunt once he's done so—his reward for pleasing you like a good boyfriend should.

☆ KAEYA

"just the tip," kaeya tells you. those three sugar-coated words are the catalyst to make you bend over the bed for him, allowing kaeya to tug your panties down and push the tip of his cock into your cunt. you grip the sheets, a soft moan coming from your lips. "kae, you said..." you stammer, interrupted by a throaty chuckle. "that is just the tip, princess."

"buuuut..." he trails off, watching you writhe under him with a grin as he pushes his hips forward, inching more of his cock into you. "how could i resist?" he muses with faux sincerity. not that you can complain, instantly clenching around him as he begins to fuck into you. kaeya's hands take a firm grip of your hips as his hips stroke, his thick cock stretching you out so perfectly, molding your gummy walls around it like he did every single time.

"went from 'just the tip' to letting me finish inside, right?" kaeya teases as he fucks you, your back arched and eyes squeezing shut as his cock drags along your walls. all you can do is mewl out a weak 'yes' as you cum on his cock, arms giving out as your upper body falls to the mattress, giving kaeya the leverage to fuck you as he pleases, only stopping when he's pumped your cunt full of his warm seed.

☆ DAINSLEIF

dain is buried balls deep inside of you, and yet the both of you are so incredibly needy. with his hips stalled, the blond watches your body contort and squirm, eyes silently begging, pleading for him to do anything. unfortunately for you, dainsleif has far too much restraint—so his hips don't move, not one bit.

he gives you a few seconds of mercy as you cockwarm him, letting you needily grind your hips against his, but your fun is soon brought to a screeching halt as dain grabs your hips in his firm hands, holding you in place and drawing an exaggerated moan from your lips. "that's it...nice and still, love."

his face is stoic, the light dust of pink over his cheeks being the only tell, the only tell that he's just as desperate as you are. dain's cock twitches with need inside you, his occasional growns deepening as he tightens his already harsh grip on your hips. he leans in, close, expression burning in arousal. "i need to take you...right now."

☆ ZHONGLI

zhongli simply can't help himself. he can't help himself, not when your cunt is so pretty on display for him, dripping wet and looking like a goddamn masterpiece in his eyes. his fingers run along your folds, pointer and index pushing past your entrance, before pulling out. he admires your slick on his fingers through half-lidded eyes.

his digits part your folds, his gentle touches making you even wetter, even more aroused and desperate for zhongli to do something. instead, he spits on your soaked cunt, causing your walls to clench around nothing. "so gorgeous.." his silky voice groans as he spits again.

his hand ghosts over your weeping pussy, before lightly coming down on it, slapping your cunt with a partially cupped hand a few times... never too harsh, just enough to create a light jolt of satisfaction. by now, zhongli's eyes are wide with wonder and arousal as he continues to toy with your poor cunt.. maybe if you're lucky, he'll realize just how badly his cock aches with need and put it to use.

☆ HEIZOU

heizou is entirely in control as he bends you over his desk, hands running over the curves of your ass. he flips your skirt up with ease, fingers curling under the hem of your panties and pulling them down in one fell swoop. "i can't believe it took me this long to bend you over my desk," heizou remarks as you hear the jangling of his belt, and are soon met with his tip against the entrance of your cunt.

you grip the edge of his desk as he pushes into you, not stopping until he bottoms out with a low groan. he wastes no time in burying his hips against yours, hands firm on your ass, fingertips digging into your soft flesh. "so wet 'n tight f'me," heizou praises, his breath heavy against your neck as he fucks into you with vigor.

your cunt is sucking him in so well, so well that he has to place a palm on the desk to stabilize himself as he thrusts back and forth, your sopping wet cunt inviting his thick cock in with each rut of his hips. fuck, he can't hold back—neither can you.. it's without warning that you cum on heizou's cock, squeezing tight on his length which causes him to release deep inside of you, painting your gummy walls with his hot seed.

Okay here's my controversial Kae/luc opinion (censored so this post doesn't clog up the actual tag).

Like, I do not care what people ship. Sometimes I find ships gross and I will instantly block with a "blurgh ew" but I'm not the type to write out long posts about which pairings are/aren't acceptable, and I don't message people to complain about which fictional characters they wanna see kiss. This stands for Kae/luc also.

But I find it near inconceivable that the argument for Ragbros doesn't centre more on the fact that, at least in my opinion, Diluc and Kaeya have a way more interesting relationship if you take it from a familial perspective.

Ofc yes whoo gay men - but in fandom specifically, there is genuinely the situation where platonic relationships are under-explored, especially outside of parent-child dynamics. Diluc abd Kaeya, meanwhile, foster this instinct in Ragbros folks to write 100k fics about them reconciling, or draw dozens of pages of comics of what their childhood was like.

And I think taking a romantic lens to all that is genuinely pretty diminutive to what's already there. Kaeya's trauma is specifically about his family & abandonment & finding belonging, and his bond with Diluc symbolises where he's at on that journey. Like, if Kaeya can return to being family with someone who is so completely his opposite (from appearance to demeanour to background) then it conveys his place and security in himself. In contrast you have Diluc, where the Point™ is that he lost his whole family in a day. Kaeya is not special because they're secretly in love - he's important because he's Diluc's last chance at a family, if only he were willing to make the first step.

And then you have all the layers of siblings in Mondstadt, which they also fit into. Like Jean & Barbara and Albedo & Klee - you have biological sisters torn apart through family conflict (divorce) and adoptive siblings kept together in the absence of their parents. There's so much there and so much of it is left behind when you take a romantic perspective on Diluc & Kaeya.

Hello i dont know if your taking request right now but if you are then i have a request for bucky if you do request on him maybe like headcanons of what you think he would do to keep you entertained at the stark tower just a thought no pressure to get this done sending love and remember to be safe. Thank you for your time.

Stark Tower Blues

Bucky Barnes x Little!Reader (They/Them Pronouns Used)

Warnings - Talks of eating, talks of naps, fluff, protective, sweet, and thoughtful Bucky

Notes - I made this into headcannons because that made more sense to me, but if anyone wants a fic based on one specific headcannon let me know? Also, this is so short, I apologize!

SFW - Please keep all interactions with this post, and this blog, SFW.

. ☾ . ☆ . ☽ . ☆ . ☾ . ☆ . ☽ . ☆ . ☾ . ☆ . ☽.

☆ When Bucky is on a mission and you're on your own (with supervision by another team member who stayed behind) he's got full days planed. Your meals are in the fridge premade, you have activities in bins that are scattered around his living quarters and other common areas. He keeps you busy with drawing, colouring, trips to the outside playground, movie nights, and new toys, so busy you don't have time to really miss him.

☆ When he is there he's got you stuck to his hip, your colouring in a chair in his office, playing with toys by his side when he's in meetings, and he begrudgingly bought you an Ipad so you can watch movies with headphones when you get tired of playing by his side.

☆ He always brings a blanket and a stuffed animal in his backpack whenever the two of you leave the tower on official business. He's put you down for a nap in the back of a car, on a random office couch, at Sam's house, really anywhere, he's always ready for a post meltdown nap.

☆ Bucky keeps your favorite snacks on every floor of the tower, Tony doesn't know it, but Bucky has hidden snacks quite literally everywhere. It helps for when you're hungry and he doesn't have time to rush up four or five floors to get you something to eat.

☆ He was one of the loudest voices when it came to getting an outdoor playground set up in/at the tower. It's in a room with a bunch of windows and fake grass with air circulated from outside no matter the season, so it's both an indoor and outdoor playground. He wanted you to have a place to run around and something to jump and climb on that was still protected and secure.

☆ He began movie nights with the whole team. Mr antisocial himself gets everyone together once every two weeks to watch whatever movie your heart desires. He takes you out to buy snacks and pick out a DVD at the local movie rental store and he lets you set up the living room seating, blankets, and pillows in whatever way you want.

Was Kaeya and Diluc’s whole Confrontation before or after he left the Knights? Bc if it took place AFTER…

It wouldn’t have been fire from Diluc’s Vision that hurt Kaeya, now would it?

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//Bc according to the manhwa; Luc left his Vision as his resignation #//And allogenes without their Visons can’t use their respective elements #//So then #//It would have been the DELUSION’s fire that hurt Kae. Not DILUC’s #//Idk; good concept; I’m pretty sure Kae’s Vision story contradicts it tho #//But then it WOULD make sense why Luc was so quick to draw his blade and fight him over his truth #//Instead of hearing him out and trusting him; considering how close they were said to have been #//‘like twins’ they were said to be #//I do like this idea ngl #//WAIT WAIT #//THAT WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN WHY KAE WAS SO QUICK TO BLAME LUC FOR COLLEI’S FIRE CRIMES #//BC HE RECOGNIZED THE DELUSION’S FIRE #//I don’t think he actually SAW Crepus use it #//So either he could be operating on what he read in Luc’s discarded account of the incident #//Or he somehow SAW the flames firsthand to suspect Luc of all people FIRST #//Bc when he threw the accusations; Luc didn’t have his Vision back yet; so WHY accuse him of a fire crime otherwise #//Idk maybe I’m thinking too hard abt nothing lmao #//But it’s still a good plot bunny!#//Prolly also would make sense why Kae still wants to stick around him and not hold a grudge over the Confrontation either #//Bc Luc wouldn’t have been in his right mind; having the Delusion on him. the thing could have seriously messed with his emotional state #hc; kaeya #hc; diluc #//Canon between my muses on here; can vary for respective counterparts

ice skating ft. childe, ayaka & amber

cws: dating: childe & ayaka, est. relationship: amber, fluff, mild cursing, implied fem bodied reader for ayaka and amber, wc for each: 1.7k, 3.3k, 1.5k

mlist | based on headcanons

childe

if you had told your past self that you're going on a date with the infamous sweetheart, ajax, you would be thinking you were going crazy. maybe even a tad delusional. but here you are sitting down on one of the wooden benches as childe helped you lace up your skates. "name, is this too uncomfortable?" he scooted back letting you wiggle your foot.

"no, it's as snug as a bug!" you replied, watching him have a sigh of relief. "okay, let me lace up the other one. is it too tight or is it okay like this one?" he pointed at the already-laced shoe.

"it's fine! are we able to be on the ice now?" you asked. ajax looked at the rink, walked to the ice and pretended to pull out a detective magnifying glass, before confirming a 'yes'. he likes to call himself the ice inspector because he was considered the best of doing so. or at least that's what his parents had told him. when he was little.

you guys were finally on the ice. unlike the girl in blue skating on the ice like she was born to and dancing so gracefully, you were like bambi. childe was teaching you to push on the other sides like a zig zag and as you were attempting just that. you lost your balance and fell on the ice. it hurts like hell but hey at least you have ice under you. "that was not as 'easy' as you made it sound, ajax." you huffed out, dramatically crossing your arms.

childe tried not to laugh as he took off his scarf and wrapped around you, you were snug again. "don't be so butthurt. it's easier for me because i grew up with it. take my hand and i'll guide you through it, okay?" he offered his hand to you, and you took it just before you two ended up interwinted on the ice. childe couldn't just help but laugh just a little bit and you joined in too.

"let's skate for real this time."

"agreed."

---

ayaka

you giggled with glee when you called your friends for a debriefing session as soon as possible. it was morning at the cat's tail with kaeya and nilou. "guys, i have a date with THE kamisato ayaka." you said, sipping your coffee. nilou gasped as kaeya rolled his eyes,

"did you really or did you have another dream again?"

"NO. it's for real this time, kae! kamisato and i. on an ice-skating date. this afternoom." you replied smugly. of course, it gets oddly silent whenever you say something big to your friends which only means one thing. they are second guessing you.... again.

nilou quirked a brow, "ice skating?" you hummed in confirmation, "yes, lulu, ice skating!" she stirred her hot chocolate with a stick as kaeya sipped his orange juice loudly, drawing your attention to him, "name, do you even know how to ice skate? last time we ice skated together, you hit the crevice of the rink, fell to your face and cried."

"in my defense, i was four when that happened. annnd yes, i do know how." nilou and kaeya shared a knowing look together before looking at you. "okay, i don't! but i kinda sort of lied to ayaka and said i do have experience with it..."

"oh my god." kaeya said with desperation as nilou pinched her nose bridge. "what if i ball it and she would never know."

nilou replied, "miss kamisato is really talented in that field, name. she would definitely know."

"for real?"

"yes."

it was noon, you still don't know how to skate, and you don't know how to tell ayaka that you were lying to her. thank god, the rink was inside a building instead of being outside. in a corner you saw a ginger offering his hand to his date, giggling, and you pray to have a moment like that with ayaka. across from that couple was ayaka, dressed in baby blues and whites, skating gracefully like a princess. you glanced at her in awe, she is so pretty. the word 'pretty' couldn't describe ayaka as her beauty can be like the fresh snow or something. you aren't really a person with good words but gosh, ayaka is so pretty.

you called out her name as she was twirlling on the ice, she stopped with a clean finished, specks of ice flew off her white ice skates. she saw you and smiled, skating her way near the rink, "hello, name, are you ready?"

"not quite, um, can you help me with my shoes?" you asked as she nodded. "it would be my pleasure." she opened the gate and walked with you to one of the benches stationed outside of the rink. you opened your bag and realized, you forgot kaeya's your shoes! ayaka noticed you looked lost while looking in your bag, "did you not bring your own shoes, or did you forget since you had have skated before?"

shit, you forgot you lied that you were the better ice skater than kaeya even though it was the opposite. "um, i forgot, i haven't skated in a while and my skates were pretty old and tarnished-" you started to whisper, "-because kaeya keeps stealing it."

she chuckled, "really?"

"really."

after ayaka helped you lace up your shoes, it was time to shine. but also known as, time to ball and hope ayaka doesn't notice. however, little did you know that ayaka already knew you didn't skate. especially when kaeya was one of her ice-skating buddies in the club. it didn't matter though since she was finally able to have a date with you despite your obliviousness to her advances.

amber

when amber said, "i know a place.", you didn't expect her to bring you into an excluded place in dragonspine that wasn't overran by abyss mages and other mobs. it was cold for sure, and you weren't sure how amber wasn't cold in her mini skirt. the evergreen trees were reaching for the skies and there was even a rock shaped like hearts. amber picked it up and said, this is us. you laughed and agreed.

once you guys ended up at the right place, a frozen over pond about 2 times bigger than the ponds you had seen in mondstadt. she pulled you into a hug and then told you a disclaimer, "by the way, babe, there is a teensy minor chance the lake might crack so if it is, i'll sacrifice my life for you. but seriously if it does crack, yell my name and we'll go the cat cafe and get coffee instead."

you exhaled a laugh, "okay, amber."

"awesome! now since that's said and done, let's party! but first, we need to have safety." she pulled out of her tote bag, knee pads, a helmet, another helmet, leg warmers and most importantly, pocket hand warmers. "wait, you know how to skate right? not in a kamisato ayaka or eula lawrence way but in a way where it's average but not too little like klee."

"yes, i promise you that i'm experienced in this."

"okay! we don't need the helmet then, i'll wear mine because it's baron bunny inspired, see?" she showed off the red helment with bunny ears. you nodded to gesture "yes, i do see it."

you and your girlfriend went off to skate and thankfully, no cracks in sight. it became a yearly tradition to go this specific place together.

summary: in which Aubrey and Charles find themselves feelings things they shouldn’t and wanting more than what they already have

warning: pure fluff, use of alcohol.

word count: 5.6K (it’s a longie)

——

His hands were shaking from excitement with only the thought of finally seen her again, he could finally hug her and have her in his arms after what it seem like an alarmingly long two weeks without her.

He had left a week before Bahrain to Maranello so he could check out the car and to talk strategies, familiarize himself with new workers, and also to blow off some steam before the craziness of the start of the season, and then he had flown straight to Bahrain for the race, a race where he had taken P1 and had been very pleased with the results.

And even though he had won and it had been a very productive two weeks there hadn’t been a moment where he didn’t think about her, and how much he missed her and wished she was there with him.

Because yes, there was FaceTime and texts and instagram and some weird app that she made him download where they send drawings and pictures to each other but all of that wasn’t enough he wanted to be with her, to be able to hug her and for her to the first person that he celebrates his win with.

But she was still in college, on her last year, thankfully, she was set to graduate with honors at the end of the year, and maybe then he would take her with him to the races all around the world because that’s where he wanted her to be, with him, always, not like she isn’t now but still.

I mean she did promise to go to Australia with him to be his “lucky charm” and time couldn’t past fast enough.

Right now he was standing with his back pressed against his Ferrari patiently waiting for the clock to hit 2:35pm, the time of finish of Aubrey’s last class and since he couldn’t really wait till later to see her he had drove directly from the airport to her college where he was now waiting for her outside of the very fancy Université internationale de Monaco where she studied.

He was set to see her later that day since he was supposed to land almost at nightfall, for a dinner she had promised him for his win,

he had denied saying it wasn’t that big of a deal and that it was only the first race of the season but she had insisted and since he could never denied her he had no choice but to agree.

But since he wanted to surprise her he decided to leave Bahrain as quick as he was allowed to, skipping the after parties and taking the jet so he could arrive at Monaco earlier than planned to pick her up and surprise her.

He had missed her too much to wait till nightfall to see her.

Yes he was terribly jet lagged but it was all going to be worth it the moment he’ll be able to held her in his arms again.

Everyone had joked about it during the off-season, saying how it was going to be hell for the both of them when the season started again and Charles would be back to his constant traveling back and forth around the globe, considering the fact that during the break they barely left each other’s side, anywhere Aubrey went Charles would follow, the f1 driver constantly driving her and picking her up at her college and even though she stated that she was perfectly able to drive her car he knew she loved it since she never really protested.

And by the end of the break Aubrey was living with him with more of her clothes at his apartment than hers with the excuse that his place was closer to her college than hers and that it was easier for the both of them that way.

It was a vile lie but they truly didn’t care.

And if this two weeks apart had taught them anything was that everyone was right and that they were truly miserable without the other.

But now he was back and yes he did had to leave to Saudi Arabia soon but he still had some time with her and that was enough for the monegasque that stood anxiously waiting to see her again.

(…)

All she wanted to do was to see him, and all she had thought about since her statistics class started was him.

To say she was miserable without him was the understatement of the year.

For the past two weeks she had barely put her phone down, always texting him and calling him on FaceTime whenever one of them had time off, her from college and him from his press conferences and obligations as a f1 driver.

She knew it was going to be difficult once he was set to leave, but it never occurred to her that it was going to be this unbearable, all she had done for the past two weeks since he left was missing him.

It was kinda strange, I mean this wasn’t the first time Charles had left to race, but this was definitely the time where she was struggling the most, she even found herself sobbing after dropping him off at the airport, and then some more in her apartment while she cried watching all the pictures that she had on her folder with the driver, something that hadn’t really happened before, but she had just tried to convince herself that it was because of the fact that they had spent way more time together in the last break than usual.

And there was also the fact that with covid ending she didn’t have as much freedom with college, since online classes had ended she was back to going to college at least four days a week, making it way more difficult for her to accompany the driver in his travels around the globe.

Or at least those were the reasons she repeated herself in an attempt to convince herself that what was happening to her was just a girl missing her best friend and nothing else.

Right?

The clock hit 2:40pm and suddenly her class had finished and thank god it had because all those numbers were boring her to death.

Well not like she was actually trying to focus but still.

When the professor said his goodbyes and left the classroom she shook her head getting herself out of her Charles induced trance while standing up from her desk and freeing her hair out of the ponytail that she was sure was giving her a headache.

She replayed in her head all the things she had to do before seeing the driver, since she had lied to him a little about how they were going to celebrate his win.

She had borrowed her parents vacations place and invited some of their mutual friends to throw him a small party, including some of the formula 1 drivers such as Daniel, Max, Lando, and obviously Pierre and Carlos and all their respective girlfriends.

She was very excited, she loved to throw parties for her friends, especially for Charles, and around the small country everyone knew about Aubrey Berkshire and her legendary parties.

Of course today wasn’t going to be a way too over the top event since they were only going to be at her parents house with a lot of booze but still.

She was the daughter of two of the most influential people of Monaco, her father owning half of the city of Montecarlo and her mother being the most famous interior designer of the whole Europe and Asia.

Everyone knew who her family was, and who she was.

Sometimes it bother her, sometimes it didn’t but Charles always used to say to her that at least she didn’t had a bunch of paparazzi and crazy fans that needed to know how and why they breathed.

She smiled as the driver once again entered her mind, a flutter in her stomach as the anticipation to see him became bigger and bigger.

What she didn’t knew was that he was right outside, waiting for her and her only.

(…)

When he saw her getting out of the big college building he thought the excitement was way too much to fill his body.

She had her AirPods on as always and she was wearing a hoodie that he could recognize everywhere because it was his, her long blonde hair was resting on her shoulders and she a bright smile adorned her face as she said her goodbyes to her friends.

She looked beautiful.

And so he picked up his phone from his pocket, as he stared at her who was walking with her eyes blindly on her phone as she seem to be texting somebody with an even bigger smiled than before, and he would be lying if he said he didn’t wish that whoever she was texting to was him.

And as if a fairy godmother had heard him the phone buzzed on his hand showing three texts from the blonde.

Bree <3💘

Just got out of class

14:48

Tonight can’t come fast enough I can’t wait to see you

14:48

Also smooth operator is playing on my phone rn, tell Carlos I miss him

14:49

He smiled like a dork at his phone as he watched her type from the distance completely immerse in their conversation, and so he replied with something he knew would get her attention out of the small screen.

And so he started tying.

Charles 🏎️🖤

Is that the hoodie that you said you totally did not have?

14:59

As soon as the text marked read on his phone her eyes shifted from her phone her head lifting and starting to look around everywhere and when they finally lock eyes after two excruciating weeks Charles felt that his heart was going to come out his chest considering it was beating faster than the f1 car he drove for a living.

And suddenly in a split of a second she was running towards her and he was too, pushing past all the bunch of students that were constantly in and out of the building.

“Charles!” She called excitement filling her voice, her long blonde hair sparking in between the crowd.

And then he felt herself crashing against him her arms wrapping around his neck at same his arms find their way around her waist, and as he breathed her characteristic coco beach smell in her hair and his face found the crook of her neck he felt like a weight was lifted off his shoulders and like he could finally breath like he should again.

Bree felt like she was finally where she was supposed to be, she felt safe, at home even.

And that scared the crap out of her.

But at the same time both felt like all the wait and texts and calls were worth it because they were on each other’s arms, and Charles at least didn’t plan on letting her go anytime soon.

“I missed you so much” she mumbled against him burying her face on his chest while he left small kisses on her shoulder.

He hug her even more tightly when he felt her sobbing against him, he continued to take her beach like scent as it invaded his nostrils remembering how back in Bahrain when he found himself missing that beachy scent that it was constantly imprinted on all of his clothes, he never ever thought he would find himself missing someone’s smell but he could never get enough from Aubrey.

“I missed you too” he mumbled back with his face back deep in her neck making her giggle at the ticklish feeling of his breath and beard against it.

He held her close as he lifted her feet off the ground, wanting to have her as close as humanly possible as she chuckled keeping her wrapped tightly around his neck.

“I thought you arrived later today.” she questioned as he put her down, gently brushing her fingers agains his cheeks and the back hair of his neck, him still smiling against her.

“I skipped Bahrains celebrations to see you earlier, I kinda missed you too much to wait till tonight” he admitted as they both separated, him taking her bag out of her grasp so he could carry it for her.

“Yeah well, I’ve missed you way too much too, and I have constant FaceTime calls and my college friends to prove it” she joked as he placed his hand on her back guiding her to his Ferrari.

“Believe me when I tell you that all the other drivers on the grid asked about you and told me to bring you to the next races with me, even some reporters asked about you on the weekend I think they like you more than me”

“Yeah well I am indeed amazing” she praised herself as Charles laughed opening the car door for her.

“Yeah yeah whatever”

“That’s why you love me so very much” she added making him roll his eyes as he got in the car himself, when he closed the door behind him Aubrey smiled at him and leaned in pressing a soft kiss on his cheek.

“Congrats on your first win of the season” she whispered softly as Charles smiled and started the car to the girl’s place placing his hand on her thigh.

“Thanks mon ange, I have so much to tell you”

“Ouh, do tell”

(…)

When they arrived at Aubrey’s place, they decided they would order takeout and watch TV as they catch up on their two weeks they were apart, Charles telling her everything about the race and the race weekend, and the awesome food they served at the hotel and she told him about her million exams and how her car was just out the mechanics and how she planned to drive him to dinner today on her brand updated Mercedes.

“Yeah that’s not gonna happen” he stated taking a sushi roll into his mouth as his best friend look at him with an offended expression.

“Why not?!” She asked slapping his shoulder.

“Because I can’t be seen in a Mercedes, we’ve had this conversation a million times before, I’m so getting you a Ferrari for your birthday”

“Like I could ever drive that monstrosity of a car”

“They are better, you know”

“Says the one that drives them for a living”

They both laughed as they filled themselves with all the Japanese food they could put in their stomachs, then they decided they would watch some trashy reality TV show on the girls room, but what they didn’t count was the exhaustion the pair shared, making them fall asleep in the first 15 minutes of the episode, Charles because he was terribly jet lagged and Aubrey because college had her exhausted and she could barely catch any sleep during her week of finals.

So they slept in, Charles wrapping his arms around Aubrey’s waist while she laid peacefully in his chest with her face buried in his neck with their legs intertwined with each other, Aubrey fell asleep first of course giving into Charles hands softly brushing her hair and his sweet tells whispering to her that if she wanted to sleep she should and then Charles followed not long after joining his Bree with soft snores.

Hours passed quickly with the reality show playing on the back not one of them being bothered by it.

But after 5 hours in, both sound sleep cuddled with each other Aubrey’s phone started to rang loudly waking them both.

“Mmm, what’s that sound?” Charles mumbled as he rubbed his eyes with his free hand whilst pressing Aubrey against him with the arm that was wrapped around her making her groan as a response from the annoying ring of the phone.

“I think it’s my phone” she replied softly as she palm the bed looking for her phone with her eyes still half closed.

“Why do you have your phone in sound in the first place?” He asked covering his face with one of her pillows as she freed herself out of his grasp to pick up the urgent caller who just wouldn’t give up.

When the phone screen phone lit up directly to her face showing the name of Pierre Gasly confusion showered her face as she answered.

“What?” She asked clearly annoyed and still very much sleep.

“Well hello to you too missy” Pierre responded as he laughed at her hostile attitude. “Where the hell are you? I didn’t know which booze you wanted so I ordered all of them”

“What are you talking about Pierre?” She mumbled scratching her eyes and leaving her place beside Charles from the bed.

“What do you mean what am I talking about cherié? You’re supposed to bring the champion boy over here in about an hour and a half to the party at your parents house, or have you forgotten?”

And then suddenly it hit her, Charles and her had fallen asleep, and they were going to be late for the party that she had organized for him.

“Oh fuck”

“Well that doesn’t sound good” Pierre said while he listened to her cursing.

“Charles and I fell asleep you just woke me up” she admitted as she walk up back to the bedroom with Charles.

Pierre burst out in laughter in the other side of the line as she rolled her eyes, she climbed to the bed beside Charles while he kept on rambling half asleep wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her back into the bed with him.

“Charlie wake up bébé” she whispered softly in his ear as he groan and pressed her against him, making her stomach flutter and her cheeks redden.

“Bébé? Oh guys please tell me you finally did it” Pierre exclaim excitedly from the phone that continued to be pressed against her ear.

“Goodbye Pierre, will be there” she said as she hung up, Charles still pressing her against him with his face buried deep in her hair.

“Charlie please wake up, we need to get ready or will lose or reservation” she pleaded petting his hair and whispering softly against his ear trying to wake him up.

“Fuck the reservation, I want to stay here, with you Bree” he mumbled against her as she tried and failed to push him away.

“Charles it was really hard to get this reservation, please, I want to celebrate your win since I didn’t get to un Bahrain” she begged once again as Charles kept on refusing, groaning and complaining.

“You really want this?” He asked, because yes he was tired but he did wanted to celebrated with her, and she had been gushing about that place for months so it didn’t feel right to ruin that for her.

And since he didn’t had the chance to celebrated leaving so early from Bahrain it would feel nice to celebrated the third win of his career with the person he wanted to the most.

But at the same time Aubrey’s bed felt incredibly comfortable.

“Yes Charlie please” she asked again with her fingertips massaging his scalp in an attempt to convince him.

And like he said before, he could never denied her. “Fine”

“Yes! Okay cherié I’m going to shower there’s a ton of your clothes in the third drawer and in one of the hangers there’s that dressed shirt I stole from you that day we crashed that wedding” she said as she pushed him again finally freeing herself since he soften his grasp to run to the bathroom.

“Yes ma’am”

“Okay you’ll need to hurry, get dressed or use the other bathroom if you wanna shower, love you!” She shouted as she slammed her bathroom door shut leaving him in the bed.

Charles groaned loudly as he made himself get out of the comfortable bed.

He sure hoped that dinner would be good.

(…)

He had been ready for about ten minutes, he got into that shirt Aubrey told him to and then some pants he found.

Aubrey on the other hand was struggling.

“Should I do a ponytail?” She shouted from the bathroom with a curly iron on one of her hands her head showing just barely through the door.

“I really do love your hair down, didn’t you say we were going to be late mon ange?” He reminded her softly.

“Yes, yes I’m ready, sorry” she said still in the bathroom, Charles hearing all the rumbling and noise all of her make up and stuff did as she kept moving around it.

She finally came out a couple of minutes later and Charles felt his jaw drop and mouth get dry.

“Do I look alright?” She ask innocently as she came out of the room with a white mini dress that hugged her figure almost perfectly.

He had gifted her that dress a few weeks back when they travelled together to the Amalfi coast before the season started.

She looked just so pretty.

He always had thought that Aubrey was one of the most beautiful girls he’d ever looked at but that sight of her in that dress made him feel like the room felt hotter and his pants were tighter at the same time it made his heart almost beat out of his chest. And yes it was kinda overwhelming that her just wearing a dress made him feel that way, but he didn’t really mind.

Because it was Bree, always his Bree.

“You look stunning Bree” he complimented as he walk towards her, her cheeks tinting red.

“You think?” She asked as she placed her hands on both of his shoulders as she rubbed them softly trying to get rid of the wrinkles in the white dress shirt.

“I know it, you’re the most beautiful human being I’ve ever seen” he said truthfully because he believed it making her laugh nervously.

“Well thank you cherié, you look very handsome yourself” she said grabbing her purse and then intertwining his hand with his to leave the apartment.

“Oh by the way we need to stop by my parents beach house to grab a few things they ask and I had forgotten” she reminded him while she locked the door behind her and threw him the car keys.

“What? We are so not going in your Mercedes!” He protested while she ignored him making her way to the elevator.

“C’mon cherié will be late and Pierre will have both of our heads” she hushed him pulling his arm as he rolled his eyes entering the elevator knowing he couldn’t win that fight even if he wanted to.

“I hate you”

“No you don’t”

“You’re right I don’t”

(…)

“Remind me again, why are we here?” Charles asked as he parked the Mercedes G 500 on the parking lot of the beach house of the Berkshire family, Aubrey on the passenger seat playing with the rings on his fingers, making him smiled at her.

“We need to get some stuff my parents ask me to get the other day, I didn’t get them because I forgot and now my mom is driving me nuts about some silver tableware that I obviously don’t have” she explained as they both undid their seatbelts and got of the car, Aubrey quickly found her place besides Charles as he wrapped her arm around her shoulders her intertwining theirhands, Charles following into the big mansion with no complaints while nodding.

He smiled as he recalled all the summers he had spent in that very same house when Aubrey and him were younger, he remembered how they would sneak out at earlier hours in the morning to watch the sunrise, how Aubrey would always find herself in his room when thunderstorms made themselves present and how both of them would stay awake till morning watching movies and talking about the most stupidest things, their friend Pierre Gasly sometimes joining them in their terrible schemes.

“Remember that time I took you to cut your hair and your mom almost killed us both?” He asked her making her laugh.

“Oh believe me, if my dad hadn’t been there she would’ve murdered us in cold blood” they both burst out in laughter remembering the look on Aubrey’s mom face when the girl arrived with a buzz cut at age 14, the poor woman almost passing out at the sight of her sweet daughter looking like a boy.

“Okay you wait in the living room while I go look for the stupid silverware tableware” she mumbled while she opened the big white doors of the house, Charles smiled as he separated from her to seat in the living room couch to wait for her.

Aubrey quickly made her way into the kitchen, leaving Charles in his own in the immense living room she took off her heels in an attempt to not let him notice that she wasn’t going to the kitchen dropping the white Jimmy Choo’s in the hallway floor, she had texted Pierre on their way there asking the French man to hide in the backyard with all the other invites and apparently they had done a good job because if she hadn’t organize that party by herself she probably wouldn’t have know that all of that people was hidden in silence of the backyard by the pool.

Charles buried himself in the comfort of the couch of the living room, knowing that it was probably a million dollar couch considering who Aubrey’s parents were and started checking his tiktok waiting for his best friend to go to the restaurant.

Meanwhile at the backyard Pierre and Aubrey and all their other friends may their way into the mansion, champagne bottles in each of their hands, Charles having no idea of what was about to happen.

And suddenly in the split of a second bottles were burst open and the driver was bathe in champagne.

“Surprise!” Everyone shouted at the now swamped Charles as he laughed making his dimples show and eyes shrink, Aubrey’s heart skipping a beat at the sight of seeing her best friend being so happy.

Pierre who was beside quickly placed his hand behind her back as he pushed her towards him, and Charles didn’t even hesitate to wrap the blond girl in a tight champagne soaked hug as everyone continued to bathe the driver and now her in the expensive drink.

“Thank you so much Bree, I love you” he thanked her face buried in her hair as her fingers caressed through the back of his neck brushing his hair softly, and as Charles thanked her and she kissed his shoulder, the monegasque knew he meant every word that he whispered in the comfort of their hug, that even when they were surrounded by a bunch of people clapping at the sight of them, it was just them like it always had been, he knew he loved her like he had never loved anyone before as she whispered like a sacred promise how much she loved him too, he hoped she meant it the same way he did.

“Okay lovebirds, let’s get this party fucking started!” Pierre Gasly shouted and everyone cheered back, the pair finally separating as the French man approached them with a bottle of champagne in each hand.

“Bree, mon amour, I think you should do the honors of pouring the very first sip of alcohol into the mouth of the guy this is all about” both drivers nodded while Pierre handed to her the bottle of Champagne, Aubrey chuckled softly while Charles gave her a small grin as he opened his mouth those bright green eyes staring at her expectantly and almost daring.

So Aubrey stood on her tip toes and found some kind of balance when Charles placed both his hands at the sides of her waist to give her support as she placed her hand on Charles jaw to keep him still feeling him gulp under her touch she leaned on to Charles ear to whisper.

“Congratulations cherié”

And with that she poured the entire champagne bottle into Charles’ face, Pierre bursting out in laughter while she pushed Charles off of her rapidly escaping the racing driver.

“Making a run for it doll!” Pierre screamed at the girl while handing a bottle of champagne to the honor guest that went right behind her with the bubbly drink in hand.

“No Charles! Please!” She begged as she tried and failed to push the backyard door open.

“You’re so dead Bree” And that was the last thing that Pierre was able to hear as the girl got sprayed while screaming with Charles laughing.

(…)

They were all drunk.

Aubrey and Pierre had a competition on who could do more tequila shots and saying it had ended poorly was an understatement considering that Pierre was currently puking behind some bushes and Aubrey and Charles were sitting in the edge of the big pool, Aubrey resting her head on Charles shoulder as she whispered silently to him how everything was spinning.

Charles arm was placed around her, as they supported each other and try to keep their balance in their conjoined drunkness and Lando behind them was in control of the music asking to be called “DJ Norris”.

All of their other friends apart from the drivers were there, Aubrey’s best friend from preschool Bianca had sneak off into the mansion with her boyfriend Luke that was one of Charles’ best mates.

Aubrey was carelessly playing with Charles hand and his rings like she was in the car when the very recognizable beat of a song started playing making the girl shriek in excitement Charles rolling his eyes knowing what was about to come.

Lover by Taylor Swift started playing.

“Oh my god! Charles we need to dance get up” she said as she rapidly pull her feet up from the pool, Charles carefully placing his arms around her for support and in a shielding way in case she lost her balance.

“I don’t really feel like dancing mon amour, plus you’re as drunk as one can get” he said to her when she was finally safely standing beside him pulling his arm so he would dance with her.

“C’mon cherié, we are on our roaring 20s tossing pennies in the pool, we can dance it off, dance with me pleaseeee” she pouted knowing he wouldn’t say no to her.

“Did you just quoted a Taylor Swift song while asking me to dance a Taylor Swift song?” He asked in disbelief half smiling up at her.

“Yes because this is her world and we’re just living in it, now get up before I make you” she threatened still pulling his arm, Charles resigning finally getting up from the side of the pool.

She jumped excitingly to then drag him away from the pool to be nearer the music as her arms wrapped his shoulders and his hands found her waist.

Charles couldn’t help but stared at her, her cheeks tinted lightly with red, her hair completely wet from the pool and the small remaining trail of champagne smell that still followed her, her giving him a weak smile and in that silence of a moment with a cheesy Taylor Swift song playing in the back he couldn’t help but think she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Can I go where you go?

And as Charles stared at Aubrey like she was the only girl he could ever dare to look at, while she smiled at him like he was the only boy in the whole world.

He wanted to kiss her.

And she wanted to kiss him too.

Can we always be this close?

And in that intimacy of a drunken dance, they realized that maybe her parents, his mom and siblings, the other drivers, their friends and basically everyone were right when suggesting that maybe their were meant to be just best fiends.

And so Charles leaned towards her and their breaths suddenly mixed and everything was perfect as their lips almost touched.

Almost.

“WE’RE ENGAGED!” Suddenly Bianca, Aubrey’s best friend shouted running out of the house with the biggest smile ever seen, as she shook her left hand with excitement.

“WHAT?” Aubrey throwing a little jump back from Charles as they both snapped from their trance and away from the other, Aubrey completely separating from the driver to meet her friend, that wrapped her arms into her to then show her the big rock that now adorned her ring finger.

Everyone cheered as Luke her boyfriend joined the pair of best friends who were crying happy tears, Aubrey hugging her tightly.

All the people around them now started to celebrate not only Charles but now the newly engaged couple and as Charles congratulated his friend, his eyes connected with Aubrey’s as an unnamed tension kept surrounding the both of them.

What they didn’t know was the things weren’t always as easy as they looked at, and that Charles’ uncharged phone had a bunch of texts that would complicate the pair of best friends a little too much.

——

A/N: I literally want what they have, Aubrey and Charles supremacy, hope you liked it!
