"And then Satan said: let there be bitches!" You declared while throwing your hands in the air. Lip glanced at you with a grin growing on his face as he laughed. Mostly because your statement was pretty accurate. Taking another swing of beer, you focused your attention back on the program that was playing before you. Commercial break was over.

Carl grabbed onto the frame of the couch and hopped back into his spot next to you, resting his arm around your shoulders. "What'd I miss?"

"Y/n's beautiful story of how bitches came to be" Fiona explained while stifling a laugh.

You bowed, "I try, I try."

Ian plopped back into his seat with a gigantic bag of cheetos and passed some around for everyone to take. You were currently squished between Carl and Lip, now Ian came and made matters worse but it wasn't too bad since Carl doesn't take much room. You grabbed a handful of cheetos and passed the bag to Lip while leaning your arm on his thigh for extra comfort since everyone's position on the couch was like the leaning tower of pisa.

"Ow, your friggin elbow." You scolded Carl while pressing deeper onto Lip, who grunted before pushing you and letting it ricochet off of everyone else on the couch.

Ian blinked deeply, "do you mind?" He scoffed while shoving Carl back onto you.

"Stop pushing!" Carl wailed as he kicked Ian's ankle.

Fiona chimed in, "Everyone shut up!"

"Carl started it!" You argued which made Carl playfully and gently slap the side of your head. He dodged your hit and poked you in the stomach with a grin on his face.

Within seconds, the once calm couch became a big pushing and shoving mess with everyone screaming and Fiona trying to get everyone to calm down. Carl pushed you onto Lip in which you got up and tried tugging him down to the floor. Fiona tried pulling you away from Carl by wrapping her arms around your waist and grabbing you back but to no prevail. The noise cut out when there was a knock at the door and as so, everything went still and silent.

Debbie stood up from her seat with Franny strapped to her stomach, and opened the door only to be practically jostled out the way. In entered one angry looking Luther.

You stood back and returned to your beer and placed yourself back on the couch to watch the situation like yesterday's program.

Carl grinned, "What's up, Luther?"

"What's up is you gave my daughter gonorrhea you little shit stain."

At the mention of the word gonorrhea, you spit out the mouthful of beer that had been currently held in your mouth but was now all over the bag of cheetos lying in the middle of the coffee table. Carl was long gone by now and practically everyone remained quiet to hear everything going on up stairs. Taking another swing, you swallow and stood up in unison with everyone at the sound of crashing happening up stairs. You ran up the stairs and did the other Gallaghers which you assumed were all spread out because only Ian and Debbie followed you from the front.

"Holy shit.." you said aloud while running your hand through your hair. Too much had happened to process. And Carl? Giving another person Gonerea? Never. It just didn't click or make sense.

You waited outside the back of the house next door for Carl to come out, opening a pack of cigarettes and lighting one. As soon as he ran out, breathless, you motioned for him to walk with you. "We need to talk."

Carl held the door open for with his back leaning against it, letting you walk first and then slowly trailing after. "What'd you wanna talk about?"

You passed the cigarette to him, "How'd you give someone gonorrhea?"

"I didn't even know I had it... do I?" He sighed clueless-ly while shaking his head and exhaling a puff of smoke. Passing the cigarette back to you in which you inhaled sharply and exhaled. "Should I get tested?"

You tilted your head at him with a look you usually gave towards his airhead comments. "I would only guess?"

After a few moments of awkward silence, you rested your elbows against the concrete divider that kept anything from falling out, and wiggled your foot around in your pointed flats. "I was kinda hoping you didn't get far with her."

"Why?" He tilted his head and for once he wasn't smirking- he truly didn't know. That look. The one true look of his that showed even the slightest bit of innocence. It was breath taking and truly gorgeous; even for a moment.

"Oh, I don't know..." you awkwardly shrugged while pushing yourself off the wall and walking towards the middle of the building rooftop. Crossing your hand over your chest after making it to the center, you turned to face him. "Because I like you?"

He glanced down for a moment, trying to find any signs from the past that pointed to this moment. "Wait.. when?"

You groaned loudly while slouching down into the air, "how could you not have noticed? Your just.."

Trailing off when he gave you a look that urged you to continue, you rolled your eyes and finished. "You."

"Oh..." he awkwardly said while looking away from you and started to regret confessing this way but there was nothing you could do. Carl was something you'd been reaching after for years and now a girl he didn't know for long grabbed all his attention.

"You don't have to respond but... yea." You sighed and walk all the way to the other side of the rooftop and leaned against the concrete once more.

Carl rested his elbows against the banister from behind him and hoisted himself up to sit. "Stuff, huh?"

You nodded. "Yea. Stuff."

Idek, honestly. These things just come to me as I right I don't even plan. It literally just is what it turns out to be.

Anyway, don't forget to vote ;3
