connie springer x black reader
after you got off work, you went home to get ready. you didn't care about dressing up too much so you styled your soft locs and put on a simple outfit before leaving to pick up sasha.

once you pulled up to the location, a pit formed in your stomach. it was so many people doing things you weren't used to seeing in real life and you wanted to turn around as soon as you stepped foot inside. sasha noticed your unease and lead you to a table with people she knew because there wasn't anyone else here that you knew but her. but sasha did try to introduce everyone to you, you just didn't care.
"i like your outfit." the girl with black hair introduced as mikasa complimented.
"thanks." it was kinda awkward now so you wanted to be somewhere by yourself. the only problem was that you didn't feel comfortable going anywhere else but your car. "sash i'm gonna sit in the car for a few minutes."
"you're leaving? already?"
"no. i'll be back." you pushed through the crowds before finally getting inside your car. you sighed and rested your head on the steering wheel and just sat in that position for a while before someone knocked on your window, nearly scaring you out of your skin.
you looked up to see connie signaling you to roll down the window. you sighed even harder.
"the fuck do you want?"
"what are you doing here? your bitch ass brother finally let you out the house?" you rolled your eyes and continued doing what you were doing.
"hey.. you okay?" you nodded. "can i sit with you?" you unlocked the car door to let him inside but locked them back and rolled up the window when he got in.
"you're loud." connie's scent of weed mixed with cologne messed with your nose and the lilac scented air freshener in your car.
"my bad. so, you wanna tell me what's wrong?"
"i'm not a party person."
"so.." you could see his side eye. "why you come?"
"i wanted to try something different."
connie nodded. "i get that.. you smoke?" you shook your head. "drink?" you shook your head again, which made connie roll his eyes. "yeah we need to go somewhere else."
"we?" you raised a brow.
"yeah, i know a place. you driving or me?"
"ain't this my car? you're not driving lola, i just got her back."
"i'm tryna help you out, help you relax. c'mon." you and connie got out the car so he could get in the driver's seat. "see? wasn't that hard."
"what about sasha? she's gonna think i left her."
"no she's not. as long as your back whenever she's ready to go, she doesn't care." you shrugged and connie began driving. you didn't know if it was a good idea to be with him yet but you'd know if you popped up naked in a ditch somewhere.
"where we going?" he shushed you.
"a surprise." you didn't wanna say anything else so you just let him drive. within an hour or so, connie pulled up to a secluded area that looked over a lake and the moon sat right above it. it was beautiful but of course you wouldn't gas him up by telling him that.
"pretty, right?" you nodded as he cut the car off.
"only the best for your hoes right?" connie laughed.
"hoes? i don't take them up here. i come up here to clear my head."
"why did you take me then?"
"because i just thought you'd need it." you nodded and looked back up at the moon. "wanna get out?" connie asked as he was unbuckling his seatbelt.
"for what?"
"it looks better from out there." you unbuckled your seatbelt too and got out the car with connie and he was right, it looked way better outside the car. the two of you leaned against the hood of your car.
"i have a question," connie started. "do you like.. not like me or something?"
"oh why you say that?" you said in a sarcastic tone.
"because every time i try to talk to you, you act weird and every time i come over, you're always in your room."
"you're just jean's friend so i don't really see the need for me to say anything to you. you're not my friend."
"i can be your friend, we can be friends."
"i can't be friends with you, you're elderly." connie looked offended but you laughed in his face as a response.
"elderly? i'm literally only 22."
"right right.." from then on out, you and connie started asking each other questions just to get to know each other more. you found out that connie wasn't all that bad and he was actually really funny and more emotional than you thought.
"i like your outfit."

"thanks, i.. dress kinda weird so people don't say that often. i like yours."
"thank you. you ever thought about being a fashion designer, or a model?" it was as if you could see connie's eyes light up brighter than the moon in front of you.
"hell yeah, i just never had motivation to do it so i never pursued it. i thought i was only ever good for selling or working at amazon. but they both pay the bills, one is just a lil more risky than the other. my family said that modeling wouldn't do that for me."
"you should try it one day." you suggest while he turns to you.
"aww you think i'm pretty?" he smiled with all his teeth, which made you wonder if they were even real.
"maybe.." you shrugged and looked down at your feet. connie grazed a finger under your chin and held it up so he could see your face. just when you were about to make some stupid decisions, sasha was calling.
