brielle's pov ;

i awoke to an unfamiliar room, before i realized that it was ranboo's house. i changed into a separate outfit i'd packed in my duffel bag and made my way down the stairs, hearing the sizzling of bacon in the kitchen. i saw ranboo's mom cooking a nice breakfast as he and kai sat at the table waiting. their faces lit up when they saw me.

"hey brielle!" kai exclaimed, waving at me. ranboo did a small hand movement that looked like a half-hearted wave.

"good morning hon, want some bacon? it just finished cooking!" ranboo's mom offered, holding an already made plate out to me—how could i say no?

"of course. i do have to get to work soon, though," i reached out for the plate and took it from her hands.

she furrowed her brow, "you have a job? do you need a ride or can you drive?"

"oh... i usually just walk..." i muttered as i sat at the table. ranboo and kai got their food from their mom.

"seriously? absolutely not. mark, honey, please drive brielle to work." his mom requested, still facing the stove.

he glanced up from his food, "oh, uh, yeah sure..."

and there i was, in ranboo's car, driving to work.

"y'know, you're really pretty. what's with the mask?" i asked ranboo, turning my face to him as he drove.

"uh..." ranboo tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "oh just...not sure."

i raised an eyebrow, "would it happen to have something to do with your streaming thing?"

he stopped and stayed silent for a moment, "i—oh, were you briecheese? that makes a lot of sense. why didn't you mention it?"

"dunno, i just didn't feel like it. anyways, does this mean i get to watch your streams without feeling weird now?" i exclaimed, turning to ranboo.

he nodded hesitantly before changing the topic completely, "oh look, we're here! we can stop talking about this now."

i laughed and opened the car door, stepping out and entering the building, which'd already been opened by madi a few minutes prior.

"yo mads!" i waved at her and continued to the back of the building, where i pulled on an apron and went out to the front. i stationed myself in front of the register and picked at my nails until i heard the bell on the door ring, in walking ranboo and harper.

they gave me their orders and i entered them into the system, giving them to madi. she made them and got the drinks out to my two friends, and the rest of my day went as per usual.

when i left the store, ranboo in tow, we drove to his house and i instantly flopped back onto my bed.

"hey, i'm gonna stream so like... keep that in mind i guess..." ranboo said through my cracked door.
