finneas watched as june hurriedly packed up her bag, trying to shove her unnecessarily large water bottle into the tote bag and failing miserably. finn muttered something under his breath to oliver, who rolled his eyes.

"what on earth are you in such a hurry for?"

june glanced over at him and shrugged, "uh, ílios probably misses me."

oliver scoffed, "juniper, that's bullshit and you know it. i'll feed ílios for you if you need me to, but don't lie to your friends. don't get into that habit."

june shrunk back into herself, avoiding ollie's eyes, although she knew he was right. "yeah, sorry."

ollie glanced at her and shrugged, "don't apologise to me. apologise to your best friend."

june felt like she was eleven years old again, her parents scolding her for things she wasn't even aware she'd done as oliver and her younger sister got let off without even a word. she was always the problem child, so it was easiest to blame her.

she sighed, "sorry, fin."

"nah you're all good, i knew you were going to bil's when i asked anyway."

june rolled her eyes, "of course you did."

"brotherly instincts paired with best friend instincts are unstoppable, sorry."

june chuckled, briefly checking her phone to see a text from billie that was sent a few minutes ago.

billie

when are you coming over?
[12:58pm]

i'm about to leave right now
[1:07pm]

june looked up from her phone to find oliver and finneas staring at her, and she awkwardly looked back at them until finneas spoke. "take it from me that you two need to hurry up and get together."

june felt her cheeks heat up, "no, we're just friends." friends.

"oh, don't start on that 'just friends' shit. you want me to call up delilah and ask for her opinion on the two of you?"

june grimaced at her brother's words, "don't you dare."

ollie opened his mouth to speak again and she instantly got up, walking towards the door, "absolutely not, you two don't get to interrogate me about this again. goodbye!"

she waved her hand over her shoulder, checking to see that finneas had turned away and changing it to a middle finger when it was only her brother watching her leave.

"fuck you juniper!"

billie

billie had absolutely no clue what demon had possessed her to ask june to come over again, but she had just said she was on her way and billie had no idea what to do.

she sat down, back resting against the wall as shark watched her from his seat across the room.

she sighed.

would they talk it out? solve the problem? have healthy communication for once?

no, of course they wouldn't. billie knew far too well that they would look into each other's eyes for a second and then fuck without actually talking about anything. and then billie would wake up and june would be gone, and she'd be left feeling even worse than she had before she'd texted june.

fuck.

what made billie keep asking june to come back? nevermind that, what convinced june to keep running back? billie knew that if she were june, she would slap billie in the face and leave.
