Claire x Engel!!

Beach

fyi: One of the lines is a reference to insanity Claire. I also tried making the character's personalities and actions less like mines. I also added less cuss words than usual because its just straight up corny. There's also some random error with an image I'm trying to load with Claire in it but its okay, I guess. Anyways enjoy!

Vroom, vroom, the car went. Claire sat in the back, staring out the window. "Mom, why are you driving me here?" Claire asked, turning her head over. "I could've just used my bike" Claire gets cut off by Xister. "Well Claire, here's a monthly reminder! When you were 11 your bike broke" She said, Claire rolled her eyes. "It's just a bit rusty!" She exclaimed. "Claire, it broke down into 80 pieces 1 year ago when you tried going to the library- Anyways, we're here." Xister said. Claire got out with her beach towel and sunglasses. Xister turned her head around before Claire could walk away. "Do you have sunscreen?" She asked. "Yes. You watched me put it on, "she said. "Oh- Do you have your towel?" She wondered, Claire turned her head around, shaking the towel in front of her before walking away. "Fuck you too!! I should've swallowed 15 years ago." Xister said before driving off.

Claire walked towards the sand, sighing, she's probably wondering how her life got to this point. First, she started getting bullied, then she got almost killed by her teachers, and then she somehow survived ∆lice?! She decided not to get too hung on it. As she walked closer to the sand she saw her friends and Engel. She smiled, she likes hanging out with them, they were like her little handful of happiness. She started to run towards them, waving her hands swiftly in the air. "Hey!!" She exclaimed. Abbie covered his face, looking the other way "Oh god..." He said. Engel slapped him on the back. "Engel! That hur-" Abbie fell over in pain, Bubble just watched. Claire finally reached them, panting. "Where's Lana?" She asked. Engel turned his head to her, he let out a loud gasp. "MY WIFE!" He ran up and hugged her. "We're not even married-" She got cut off by him squeezing her tightly and kissing her forehead. Abbie cringed a bit but his attention got quickly shifted to Lana walking over with a pitcher of lemonade. "Abbie, what's going on?" She asked. Abbie took his head out from the sand, looking up. "Engel slapped me," He said. Lana rolled her eyes, she was getting annoyed by them both already! "Engel, did you slap him?" Lana asked in an irritated tone. "No" He responded, squeezing Claire even tighter. "Send help," Claire murmured. Bubble got a stick and wrote on the sand. The message said "Lets go swim" Engel suddenly dropped Claire. She fell onto the sand, coughing some up. "Oh crap- Are you okay?" Engel kneeled over to her. Claire spoke up, her voice was scratchy and dry. "Yeah I'm fine...go enjoy swimming." She sat up, coughing out sand at the same time. "No- I can stay with you-" He offered but was quickly cut off. "No, go enjoy!" She said with a forced smile, Engel had a concerned expression "O-okay, tell me if you need anything." He walked away, slightly concerned. 

Claire silently watched her friends have fun in the water, she sighed. She drank some of the lemonade Lana had brung to try to stop the heat. Her ears perked up when she heard someone walking up to her...she looked up to see it was ∆lice?! She stumbled back a bit. "∆lice?! What are you doing here?!" She was shaking in fear. She almost got killed by this girl! ∆lice cleared her throat before speaking. "Bubble invited me." ∆lice sat down next to Claire. "What's wrong with you? You look like shit." ∆lice said. Claire crawled away a bit just for ∆lice to pull her back. "It's quite rude to move away from a conversation. So are you gonna answer my question-" Tendrils started forming from ∆lice's back "-or do I need to force it out of you?" Claire violently shook her head. She wasn't looking forward to ∆lice ripping her apart like a rabid dog. She took a deep breath before calming down a bit. "It's Engel...." She confessed, looking at Engel who was currently floating in the water. ∆lice's eyes widened. She expected it to be about stress or an invalid answer. "...Engel....?" ∆lice asked. Claire looked at ∆lice in the eyes. "I-I...." She sighed. "You have a crush?" ∆lice asked with a serious expression. Claire nodded. "He's shown interest in me...with the nicknames and the physical touch-" A dark blush spread across her face as she fiddled with her hair. "It's just that, we're like awkward best-friends. We make flirty comments as jokes but they just feel....too weird. He cares about me so much and-" ∆lice cut her off, swatting Claire's hand away from her own hair. "Ask him out." She stated. "W-what...?" Claire asked, a bit stunned. "Ask him out." ∆lice repeated. "If you love him so much. Ask. Him. Out" ∆lice pulled her by her swimsuit. "Okay! Okay!" Claire exclaimed. "Good! Now I have better things to do than breathe the same pathetic used-up air as you." ∆lice got up and walked away. Claire sat there, confused. She was thinking deeply. "Why was ∆lice here? Why did ∆lice want me to confess so badly...should I...?" Claire sighed, she'll think about it later. She watched the others swim with a slight smile. She'll just enjoy the moment until the end of it.
