- Aubrey listens to emo music but doesn't know what MCR is cannon.

- y/p = your pronouns 

Aubrey's pov

Going to school every day is kind of shitty. I mean, listening to some old hag talk about whatever for like an hour is boring. But when you fall asleep or try to leave because y/p won't let you go to the bathroom you get detention.

and that's where I was now. Sitting on the bleachers in my gym, again, listening to another old guy lecture me and a few other kids who probably either talked back to a teacher, made a joke, or fell asleep in class. I noisily chewed my gum, trying to tick off the detention teacher. I already knew this guy, and the only way to break him was to chew something really fucking loud.

"grumble OKAY okay... I'm going to go take a break and you guys are going to sit here in silence... got it?" he said, trying to get out of the gym before the noise got to his head. The gym doors slammed closed and everyone was actually silent for once. A few kids turned y/p heads to look at someone y/p might've known to snicker at his annoyance. I looked around at everyone's faces in the echoey room we were in. Just a few detention regulars and then I spotted someone interesting. Y/p were sitting in the back, totally in y/n own world, and really tired-looking.

"Cool." I thought to myself "y/p seem like someone who could speed up time around here" I grinned and stood up, making my way over to y/p. Everyone else was already talking amongst y/pselves except for y/p. I had honestly never seen y/p in my entire life.

I sat next to y/p on the bleachers, but y/p still seemed to not notice me. "are y/p sleeping with y/p eyes open or something?" I thought, looking y/p up and down. I waved a hand in front of y/p face, but y/p seemed to not have a reaction. I nudged y/p a bit. "Hello? anyone in there?" As I finished my sentence, I saw y/p basically come back from the dead. y/p shook y/p head and turned y/p eyes to me. Y/p had a confused look on Y/p face and took out y/p earbuds.

"Uhm... can I help you?" y/p said with semi-confidence.

"yeah, just wanted someone to talk to... if that's cool with you i mean" i chuckled a bit. Ew. what's wrong with me, I sound nervous. Y/p nodded y/p head and paused whatever y/p had been listening to, and turned y/p body to face me.

"...so?"

"oh! uh... right, I'm Aubrey and you are?"

"Y/n..." y/p said, not making eye contact. Y/p fiddled with y/p jacket as y/p spoke. I shot y/p a quick grin before asking y/p how y/p got into detention.

"It's stupid but I fell asleep. The stupid part is that it was for like a minute, ask anyone, it's not like I was out the whole class and missing notes or anything I have them all down and stuff." y/p swung y/p backpack in front of y/p and dug through the bag, before pulling out a nice-looking notebook that was decorated with stickers and had a note on it saying the class name. "see? I'm telling you..." y/p stuck the page up to my face "all down, every last thing that was written or drawn onto the board, interpreted by me of course" I laughed a bit, looking at the small doodles and personal notes on the sides of the pages that didn't have writing scribbled onto them.

"I don't get why they would put you in this hell hole then"

"me neither, honestly, my (parents/guardian) sure aren't gonna be happy about this one," y/p said, rubbing the back of y/p neck. "So why are you here?"

"Got caught taking a break in the bathroom." I sighed. "All I needed was out of that class but once I get caught not pissing in the bathroom I'm suddenly banned from going during that class and I get detention" I slumped over, exaggerating my "pain" of being here. We both laughed and looked up into each other's eyes. I had just kind of realized how pretty y/p are. I smiled a genuine smile not anything like a smirk or grin, just a smile.

"Random off-topic question, but do you happen to listen to music at all?" y/p asked.

I scrunched up my face and asked "is that even a question? yes, of course, I do" y/p laughed a bit and asked me what type of music I listen to. "I think it's classified as emo you know? I really like hearing guitar in songs like it's so cool, but really anything loud is cool to me" y/p nodded y/p head a bit.

"so what do you like MCR or something?"

"MCR? the fuck are you talking about"

"My chemical romance? ever heard of them?"

"what? no" y/p dramatically gasped and slapped y/p hand onto y/p chest.

"You like loud emo music but you have zero clue as to who they even are???" I shook my head slowly. "Jesus Christ... here." y/p gave me an earbud. "put it in" I felt my cheeks heat up and I took the earbud and put it into my ear. I looked down at the ground, avoiding any looks from y/p. I didn't want y/p to see me like this... ewwwwwww. I looked at y/p out of the corner of my eye and saw y/p smiling as y/p pushed a few buttons. "you ready for this?" I nodded. "if it's too loud just let me know and I'll turn it down" I looked up at y/p as the song started to play. It was definitely my type of music. Loud with guitar. I saw the look in y/p eyes as the song continued to play. y/p tapped y/p fingers to the beat and looked at me with anticipation. I could tell that y/p were hoping that I was going to like it. I smiled at y/p and nodded my head along with the song.

We talked and listened to music for the entirety of detention and before we knew it, it was time to go. I gave y/p my phone number and house address and y/p gave me y/ps and we said our goodbyes.

I walked down the sidewalk leading down to the road my house was on. After detention, I decided to spend the rest of my afternoon staying at the park with my friends. I made the turn and ran up to the mailbox to check if we had any mail. I grabbed the few papers that were inside, before seeing something stuffed in the very back of the box. I reached my arm in and pulled out a neatly wrapped square present with a pink bow on it as well as a letter tapped to it with my name written in neat cursive. I ran inside and threw the other pieces of mail onto the floor, not really caring where they ended up. I climbed the latter up into my room in the attic, kicked the shoes off my feet, and jumped onto my bed. I hesitated, before grabbing the letter that was attached.

Hi Aubrey!

I know, a bit early for a gift seeing that we just met like a couple of hours ago depending on when you open this). But I saw that you really liked the songs I showed you so I thought you would like this!

Can't wait to see you again :)

- Y/n

I smiled reading the letter and felt my cheeks heat up a bit. It was then that I caught myself smiling for the thousandth time at something y/p said or did. I kind of embraced the feeling of it. The subtle butterflies in my stomach. I scrunched my face up and shook off the feeling. I gazed back down at the present before me. The neat white wrapping paper was decorated with y/p little doodles. It made me laugh. I carefully peeled off the tape, in hopes of saving the doodle-filled wrapping paper. After a good five minutes of slowly peeling off all the bits of tape, I unfolded the paper. Turns out, y/p had gotten me an MCR cd. The cd case had a little drawing of us with earbuds in. I literally can't count how many times I've smiled today, but yes, I did it again.

Snaping y/p out of an awake sleeping session was probably the best thing I've ever done.
