Project V (Clementine X Male Reader Book 4)

Famous

Brooklyn: So, love. You keep dodging.

She sits down in the booth opposite you. You walked into a roadhouse. They say it's a roadhouse, but really it is not, only in name.

You: Dodging what?

Brooklyn: I asked if you were excited, Marina talked about being excited, and you're avoiding saying what you think.

The waiter walks over and gets your drink orders.

You: I am not.

Brooklyn: Liar.

You sigh and start fiddling with the fork sitting on the table in front of you.

You: Why do you always have to do this?

Brooklyn: Because you won't talk otherwise.

You: Fine. I don't know.

Brooklyn: Not good enough.

You: What do you mean not good enough? That's how I feel.

Brooklyn: Why?

You: I don't know...

She gives you a "really" look just as the waiter comes to drop off your drinks and get your food order.

Brooklyn: I don't get your whole obsession with, I don't know. You know, you just don't want to talk about it.

You: When I first heard about it, I was, well, you know. You were there.

Brooklyn: Mhm.

You: But now...

Brooklyn: You don't think it's real.

You: Yeah, kinda.

Brooklyn: The thought's been running through my head too.

She leans on the table.

Brooklyn: It's one of those things that you and I will never know. It's gonna happen, but is it really-

V: If I may interrupt.

You: V, we were in the middle of a conversation.

V: Yes, I am aware. You will want to see this.

An image appears next to the table. It floats there, and you assume only the two of you can see it. It's the news. The news of this world, that is. A picture of you and Brooklyn, hand-in-hand, waving at a crowd of people, sits just behind them to the right.

Anchor: -somewhere within Marinus.

The name of the city you're in is Marinus. Named after the community, of course.

Anchor: Eyewitness reports say that they appeared in the middle of a crowd of people. And as people noticed them, Brooklyn yelled for a mask. Suddenly, their faces shifted to this...

The picture shifts to show two completely random people. You must look like this right now.

Brooklyn: Well, fuck. Change our mask, V.

V: I can not.

Brooklyn: Why the hell not?

V: I am currently occupied with other things, as you very well know. You were just talking about it. It requires a lot of focus and energy. Plus, there are cameras everywhere. They will just find your new faces.

Brooklyn: Ugh, V! Why'd you have to tell everyone we were from another world?!

V: I adore you and think you deserve more attention.
