ugh another disclaimer. lola is made up :)
also a lot of dialogue in this. please bare with me i promise there is less as the fanfic goes on.






the party was in full swing when ivory arrived. she was late, obviously, even though she only lived opposite. but ivory being ivory she never intends on being late, it just sort of happens.

she walked through the door, immediately spotting arthur in the kitchen and walking over. "hey." she says to him, giving him a slight hug.

"hey ivy, you want a drink?" he asks as she sits down on one of the bar stools, next to someone she didn't know.

"vodka cranberry please waiter!" she smiles at him which causes him to laugh. she smiles even more at his laugh, finding it somewhat refreshing to be found funny. not that she has an ego.

as she watches arthur, she feels a hand on the small of her back. she looks up to see the reason she came to this party in the first place. harry.

"harold!" she says, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him the biggest hug ever.

"hey ivory!" she says back, returning the hug but soon pulling away. "how have you been?" he asks politely.

"good, very good how are you mr wroetoshaw?" she chuckles which causes him to roll her eyes.

"good, uhm, this is my girlfriend lola." he introduces as ivory turns to the girls and smiles.

lola was about 2 inches smaller than ivory with blonde hair and blue eyes. almost the opposite of ivory, to which she has brown hair and green eyes.

"it's lovely to meet you." she hugs lola, which is returned more reserved however but ivory thinks nothing of it.

"can i just say i really enjoy your videos." lola says which causes ivory to smile even wider if that's possible.

"thank you so much, we should make one together, go shopping or something!" she suggests which lola immediately nods to being in one of her famous vlogs.

"that would be fun." lola laughs slightly as ivoyr hears a glass being placed behind her.

"one vodka cranberry!" arthur almost announces, making ivory laugh.

"we're going to go say hi to people." harry says and walks off as ivory turns back to arthur.

"why thank you kind sir." ivory jokes as arthur walks round the side and sits next to her on a bar stool. "you enjoying tonight?" she asks as she takes a sip of her drink.

"not really no." he admits looking round at the swarm of people. "not really my scene."

"what is your scene?" she asks the boy in front of her, leaning her arm on the counter.

"a museum, specifically the natural history museum!" he replies enthusiastically, taking a sip of his own drink. "it's quieter and a lot more interesting."

"you saying i'm not interesting?" she joked as he just flips her off.

"you know what i mean!"

"that's fair though, although i do prefer the science museum round the corner. i love looking at all the old planes from the raf and whatnot." she smiles at him, finding his love for museums quite attractive.

"yeah but you have the dinosaur exhibit in the natural history museum, and the room with all the animals. i'm a big animal lover you see." he takes a sip of his drink, fully immersed in the conversation.

"so i'm guessing you like history?" she asks him to which he nods at.

"yeah i do, it goes hand in hand with law which i have a degree in." he replies casually, trying not to boast about the fact.

ivory secretly loved the fact that loved history. she herself loves history, having taken it for a-level and it's nice to find someone with a common interest for once.

"oh cool, so if i get sued you'll help me?" she half jokes but he laughs extremely loud at it.

"of course i will." he winks which causes her to look down and blush slightly. "you're a qualified midwife yeah?"

"yep so i'll help you if you and your partner decide to have a child." she smiles at him which he returns.

arthur didn't have a partner, of course he didn't. the sheer idea of talking to women freaked him out so he didn't know why he found speaking to ivory so natural.

"no partner, but i'll keep that in mind if i do get one." he hints at the fact that he's single, which doesn't go unnoticed by ivory.

"we should go to the museums sometime." she says, trying to imply she means a date but with arthur being arthur that goes straight over his head.

"yeah, we could do both natural history and science in a day." he smiles at her as she nods at him.

"that would be good, wanna go somewhere quieter to talk?" she asks him as he nods.

they walk into arthur's bedroom and sit on his bed, their backs against the wall.

"so arthur, where are you from?" she turns to the boy who is already looking at her.

"jersey, chris and i grew up together." he smiles as her smile drops slightly, which worries arthur.

"fuck off how have we not met before?" she asks taking another sip of her drink, becoming slightly tipsy due to the fact she had quite a few pre drinks.

"you're from jersey too?" his face lights up.

"not originally, i'm from london but moved to jersey when i was 14 then moved to mottingham at 18 so i was only there four years." she tells him and he nods, a little confused on how they had never met before.

"how have we never met before?" he asks rhetorically, not expecting an answer.

"because i avoided you, no i'm joking probably because i'm the year below at school assuming you're the same school year as chris." she smiles at him, her politeness slowly dropping as she got more comfortable... and more drunk.

"ah ok, so you're 27?"

"nope only 26, i've got a late august birthday making me so young." she wipes away fake tears which just causes arthur to laugh.

"you're funny ives." he says to her which causes her to perk up at the nickname. nobody ever calls her ives.

"i wish we met in jersey arth, we're so alike." she smiles which causes him to perk up at the nickname. nobody calls him arth.

"me too."
