blaze of desire // billie eilish fanfiction

twenty-two : met someone?

delilah

clauida had just called to confirm that elle and i are coming billie's welcome home gathering. we confirmed and i decided to call billie immediately after. "hey!"

"hey stranger." i said. "what are you doing?"

"packing my shit, raymond is here to help as well." she told me.

"hey raymond!" i could tell i was on speaker.

"hey billie's blaze." he replied.

"you two can not meet." billie emphasized on the not.

"shut it." i giggled. "i honestly just want to see honey, put a name to a voice."

"wait she talked to honey?" raymond was confused.

"honey decided to answer blaze's call and— yeah." billie explained.

"oh yeah, she loves answering calls like that." he didn't seem surprised. "we're working on that."

"at what time do you make it home?" i asked.

"this bozo is leaving tonight on a red eye while i leave after tomorrow and arrive at four pm or something." she replied.

"i'm sure this bozo missed his girlfriend and that's why. he knows what's up." i told her.

"thank you delilah!"

"what are you trying to say? that i need to make my flight sooner?" her voice had a hint of playfulness.

"no what im saying is what raymond said, in his head." i shrugged.

"no but seriously when can i see you when im back?" she asked me.

"get back here then make plans, you could die in a plane crash." i told her.

"god damn! are you pulling strings to get rid of me now?"

"that did sound straight out of a horror movie." raymond agreed.

"well maybe i meant for it to be like that, i thought you loved everything horror." i replied.

"up until recently she used to sleep in maggie's arms cause she was scared of the monsters under her bed." raymond told me.

"i really want to kill him for spilling my secrets but he's right." she let out time framed nervous laughters.

"then i apologize. i assure you the plane you're getting on is perfectly safe.... to my knowledge."

"okay, you're responsible for my mother and my father when i'm gone cause finneas and clauida will be too devastated. make sure raymond doesn't find sex as a coping mechanism and become an addict with honey cause i could totally see that."

"what the fuck?!" raymond yelled.

"or you'd become a theater maniac!" she exclaimed. "or both!"

"do you see what i have to endure every day? and you blame me for flying sooner than she is? i'm trying to run away from her." he told me.
