Write On Me Universe

A/N: Hi yes I was planning to write an actual chapter but that didn't happen so I'm updating this instead. Also, switching it up and posting all of the headcanons Drunk_Breadstick and I were tossing back and forth. Some of these go along with previous ones or are like alternate versions of what could happen. Parts of actual conversation might be in here but I'm gonna try to really make sure they don't, but I'm sure some will.

Enjoy!

How about birthdays? Like all the girls celebrate their birthdays with dinner and a few presents. But when it's Lauren's first birthday with them and they go all out. And they are all having fun, except Lauren because she wanted to have a small dinner. But she doesn't say anything because she loves the other girls and they are having fun and she doesn't want to ruin it. But then one of the girls (Ally or Normani) notice that Lauren isn't having fun and when asked about it, Lauren tells them she doesn't like parties. Camila and Dinah just kick everyone out. They finish the birthday off by cuddling with Lauren and watch movies and cake.

Because it's Lauren's first birthday with them, and just like everything else they kind of go a little overboard with it. But Lauren, that precious smol bean, never says how uncomfortable it makes her because the other girls are super happy that they think they did an awesome job (they did, but Lauren's just so introverted and all the people and noise is making her feel overwhelmed and it's too much) and Ally, because she knows Lauren's body language and what she's like when she's overwhelmed, pulls her aside to their bedroom (the one spot that's off limits to guests) and she just holds Lauren until she's calmed down and finds out what's wrong, then Ally goes and tells the others, who kick everyone out. Lauren apologizes profusely for ruining her own birthday party, but they reassure her that she didn't ruin anything and there's lots of cuddling and movies and cake being consumed (honestly the cake should have lasted like a week but it's gone in the span of about five movies). Lauren's next birthday they just have family come over and they go out to eat and come back and have a quiet night in.

And maybe the other three girls take "Lauren" lessons and try to learn her body language so they know when Lauren needs something because the girl never says anything about, as cute as it is it's slightly annoying because they try to reassure her but she's always "it's okay." And it's not annoying as in annoying, but they want to make sure she's okay and it's annoying because they themselves feel bad for not knowing. Especially since they would have known Lauren for almost a year. But they don't want to push her so they try to learn what she says when she says nothing.

Camila picks up on it pretty quickly because, as much as she likes going out to clubs/parties/etc, she really likes staying and having quiet nights, too. It takes Dinah a while, but eventually she gets the hang of Lauren's body language and emotions, too. Surprisingly, it's actually Normani that struggles the most. But once she gets the hang of reading Lauren's emotions, she's a master and can actually pinpoint when being at a club is getting to be too much for Lauren before any of the others, sometimes even before Lauren realizes it herself. Lauren is actually surprised they're going to that much trouble to make her comfortable, and so she tries her best to be more outgoing and not get so overwhelmed when they go out, but they always tell her it's okay, they don't mind going home early. After a while they finally relent and agree to only two of them going home with Lauren, and they switch off who goes and who stays (Lauren wants them to have fun, and they all know the two that stay will always come home, and they always use Uber/Lyft so there's no risk of them drunk driving). They all appreciate Lauren's efforts to try and be more outgoing, but they know it's not in her nature, and they're always quick to assure her that they're not ever upset with her when she's had enough and needs to leave.

She even gets trashed in hopes to have fun, or make it seem to be having fun. But the second any of the girls (Dinah) sees how wasted the girl is, they take her home and take care of her. Lauren tells them how she wishes she was more outgoing. How their fifth should have been someone else. She tells them she wishes she was different. Then they all sit down and talk and make that rule where two of them go home with Lauren. And Ally wants to be the one to always go home, but they make her stay because she likes being out and Normani, Camila and Dinah know it will make Lauren feel bad.
