The Rejection Pact

Aine.

*Onix's POV*

"No Onix, I'm genuinely scared for this weekend." Ethan sighed as we're walking around town.

It's currently Wednesday night, and Ethan and I are on the hunt for a birthday present for Rhiannon since her party is Saturday, and he's freaking out because guess who is planning.

Low, Fray, and Cobi.

"They plan fun parties." I nodded.

"Every single time they plan something, someone ends up high." He nodded.

I just looked at him. "So do we."

"Not the point." He shook his head. "Just, I'm worried OK. Cyrus made us promise that if he ends up high again we have to keep him away from Low. And by no means is Frazier allowed to come home with me."

"She is your girlfriend, you're supposed to sleep with her." I rolled my eyes.

"Not until I can control my penis."

"Dude, you getting there so fast is not a bad thing. It just means she's good in bed." I nodded.

"Oh I'm fully aware. And that's not the problem. I can last when I'm on top, but not when she is."

"OK, so she's good at riding. You are the only person who would complain about that."

"Let me break this down for you." He clapped his hands. "I am cumming when we have sex. She is not. She is fucking me and that is not OK. Now enough about this. I have to go to this party because Rhi is my sister."

"And you need to help me find her a present." I pointed at him.

"Because you need to make up for the shitty one last year."

"OK." I held my hands up. "I gave her a donut. She likes donuts."

"It was a donut from the gas station Onix." He nodded. "And you crushed it with a football."

I pursed my lips. "Yeah, I need to make up for last year." I nodded.

We walked for a little while until we walked in front of a little shop.

"What about here?" I pointed at the doors.

He looked up at the sign. "Everrealm Eclectics." He scrunched his face. "Is it new?" He looked at me.

"It must be, I haven't seen it." I shook my head.

"Well, Rhiannon likes this kind of stuff, so." He walked over and opened the door.

And as soon as we walked in, the smell of cloves and lilac flooded my nose.

"Wow." Ethan looked around.

"I have no clue what any of this is." I shook my head.

This place with filled to the top with books, plants, crystals, and shit.

Pretty much a Rhiannon Pike paradise.

"Oh. There's someone up at the counter." Ethan grabbed my shirt. "Maybe she can help."

Whoever it is, her hair is like, pitch blonde.

Or at least I thought until we got up to the counter and the sunlight hit, and this hair, it's damn near opal.

"Hello." Ethan smiled.

The girl lifted her head, and I swear to god, I have never seen anyone look like her.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

She smiled and I swear I almost went blind.

"Hello." She lightly let out.
