We Were Too Young For This

The price of fame

Gemini and Fourth never came to get dinner that night, and the others didn't bother them figuring to give them some time alone because the thought Fourth was upset. Which was true initially until he wasn't upset anyone and was basically devouring Gemini whole. The next morning, they woke up early, even before Satang, Ford, and Mark, their group's early risers. Gemini was making them coffee while Fourth clung to him.

"Get ready, losers. we are going shopping." That was how Ford greeted them, with way too much enthusiasm than warranted for 7 am in the morning.

"What?" Fourth asked, his arms still wrapped around Gemini's waist.

"It's Regina George from Mean Girls." Gemini replied.

"I love how you get me." Ford said, grinning at him.

"I still have no clue what you are talking about." Fourth said, unwrapping himself from Gemini.

"OMG, Fourth! It's an early 2000s teen comedy cult classic. How do you not even know that?" Ford asked, affronted like Fourth had committed the biggest crime known to man.

"Sorry?" Fourth said, looking confused.

"Fourth mostly watches action, thriller and K-dramas." Gemini supplied.

"Ugh, fine, I'll forgive you. Fotfot this time. But I was serious though, we are going shopping. So get ready." Ford said.

"It's Sunday morning. Why the hell are we going shopping?" Fourth asked, cradling the cup of coffee Gemini handed to him.

"Because we need to shoot content for our next YouTube video, and you need to revamp your clothes. I know you were down yesterday because of all the pressure of being the fashion icon in Chinzhilla, but I, as your fairy fashion godmother, will rescue you." Ford replied.

"Fairy fashion god mother." Fourth repeated.

"Yes, fabulous and killing it since birth. Now go get ready." Ford said, 'You too, mister." Ford said, pointing to him.

"Me? Why am I being dragged into this? I am not the group's appointed fashion icon." Gemini asked.

"Because someone needs to carry our shopping bags." Ford replied.

"Fine, but can we finish our coffee first? I kind of need people juice if we are gonna go shopping." Fourth said.

"Of course. I need to go do my skin routine and shower anyway. Be ready by 8, 8:30 the latest." Ford said, and he was off again.

"So... Mean Girls, huh?" Fourth said with a teasing smirk.

"Ford made me watch it." Gemini replied.

"I am sure he did." Fourth said, "Did he also make you watch all of the Barbie movies, too?" Fourth teased, and Gemini kept quiet.

Ford had actually made him watch all 43 Barbie movies, and he loved them. The Barbie:the princess and the pauper being Gemini's favourite.

"No! He did, didn't he? Which one was your favourite?" Fourth asked, laughing.

"They are a cult classic." Gemini said in response.

"Sure they are. Now tell me which one was your favourite." Fourth said, still laughing.

"Shut up!" Gemini whined.

"Make me." Fourth replied.

Which was a dangerous statement to make considering where they were in their relationship at the moment. They weren't boyfriends or anything, but they've unlocked another stage on their relationship, a stage where Gemini can shut Fourth up with his lips without any hesitation, and he knew it would be well received.
