Complications(Adopted by Brendon Urie)

25. "Sick..."

We both got hungry as neither of us ate at recess, so we decided that we'd go to Macca's(McDonalds for you American scum) to appease our appetites. On the way there I started thinking about what had happened earlier and decided to question Loch about it.
"What was that stuff earlier all about?" I asked and he smiled while shaking his head.
"Nick is the player of the school, he's known for doing the do with just about anyone if they ask." He chuckled before continuing. "He hooked up with Will's girlfriend on the weekend and he's pissed about it."
"Oh..." I giggled. "Now I'm thinking I should've been against Nick."
"Nah, he only does hook ups without any strings attached, so if someone asks usually he'll give them what they want, it's mainly the people who hook up with him's fault." I nodded and understood what he's saying. "Last night he said that he wanted to date or fuck you but I beat him up because I had just told him that I'm with you." He laughed and I laughed awkwardly, scratching my neck. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable..." He gave me a guilty look.
"No it's fine, I've just never been told that someone wants me in that way." I looked at my feet.
"Really?" He raised an eyebrow.
"No, I've never been catcalled, harassed, or told that." I blushed slightly.
"So have you ever done anything?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I furrowed my brows again.
"Have you done anything while being in a relationship?" I immediately realised what he meant and blushed slightly.
"Well I've only been in two, one was with my ex-boyfriend in Australia," I looked back down at the ground, I was still a bit betrayed by how Ash broke up with me, I didn't really have any feelings for him but was hurt nonetheless. "And you know the other one..." I bit my lip and he rubbed his hand up and down my back. "The furthest I went was with my ex from Australia, which was making out, but we only did it a couple times..."

"Oh... So you're a..." He went off into his thoughts and I blushed deeply, embarrassed at my 'chastity'. "That's cute." He smiled, which caused me to blush even harder. "You know there's nothing wrong about it." He raised an eyebrow and I rolled my eyes.
"Sure." I mumbled and he stopped walking, making me stop. I looked up at him quizzically and he started talking.
"I'm not going to take advantage of you, I'm not dating you because you're famous," Something strange flashed through his eyes when he said 'famous', but I chose not to acknowledge it. "I'm dating you because I like you, I like everything about you." He placed both of his hands on my shoulders and I nodded. "The fact that you've never had am 'intimate' relationship before doesn't change the feelings that I have towards you, it makes you different from most other people I know." He smiled warmly and I looked down, biting my lip again.

I couldn't think of what to reply to him with, so I attempted to hug him. When I wrapped my arms around him I caught him off-guard, he stiffened before relaxing and wrapping his arms tightly around me. I laid my head on his chest and took a deep breath in, smelling his deodorant.
'Damn Annie you need to steal one of his shirts or something.' Was the first thing that went through my head and I had a small giggle at that, Loch gave me a weird look but I ignored it.

When we came apart we walked the rest of the way to the McDonalds in a comfortable silence, it wasn't awkward, but neither of us initiated a conversation so we stayed quiet. When we got there we ordered our food on the touchscreen panels then paid at the register(idk if the touchscreen panels at Macca's are a thing in America, can I get an American to tell me if they do?).
"So on Friday night do you want to do anything before going to the concert?" Loch asked and I thought for a moment.
"It would be cool if I could meet your family, I could probably just say I'm Danielle's friend." I shrugged and he shifted uncomfortably on his feet.
"Maybe, but the only other person we're living with is Dad, so, um, yeah." He smiled awkwardly and I nodded understandably. "But I'm going to have to tell him about you anyways, and it's going to be the same with your parents."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." I opened my mouth to say something but our order was called so he quickly went to grab our food before returning to me. "I don't think Sarah and Brendon will have a problem with you, it'll probably be Luke, he's so overprotective of me." I laughed softly as we started walking to the back of the 'restaurant'.
"Do you really think he'll be overprotective towards me?" He bit his lip nervously and I let out a small laugh at him.
"He might be sceptical, but he should be okay with you," I smiled before continuing. "But if he's a dick I'll just get him to go away, or threaten him..." I snickered, remembering the photo he accidentally sent to me before I went on tour.
"What's so funny?" He asked and stopped at a table.
"Nothing..." I bit my lip and sat down opposite him before resting my crutches on the seat next to me.
"It doesn't seem like it." He raised an eyebrow.
"I made a best friend promise that I can't break."
"Oh, that's okay." He smiled warmly and I did the same.

We opened the bag and took out our food, both of us got some loaded fries(I swear to god if America doesn't have these I'm never moving there even if I get into Harvard which probably won't happen eskedee) and a Frozen Coke Spider each. As we ate had a small conversation about nothing in particular and it was nice, not talking about anything relevant to us or stuff that we had to stress about. When we finished eating I checked my phone and realised it was already 12:30.
"Urgh what are we going to do for three hours?" I sighed and rested my head on the table.
"I have no clue..." He mimicked me, laying his head on the table too. "We could go to the cinema."
"We'll probably get caught out of school..." I bit my lip and moved my head so I could look at him. "We could go to one of our houses?"
"Dad's definitely home today, so unless if your parents are home then we'll need to do something else..."
"It depends if they are, but if they are home we can just go to Luke's, his band's out of town right now and I have a key to get in."
"Okay, that sounds good." We both stood up and I checked my phone to see if Brendon or Sarah were live-streaming, which they weren't, so I checked their main and private Snapchats and Instagram accounts and they hadn't put anything on their stories either.

We decided to take the bus to my place, which only took about ten minutes. We got off at the closest stop and I lead the way to my house, praying that Sarah and Brendon weren't home as I didn't want to walk to Luke's. I checked my Snapchat and saw that their private accounts weren't home on the map, but both were in the middle of the city so even if they were to come home Loch would have more than enough time to leave.
"Woah, I didn't know that they both had private Snapchats..." Loch looked over my shoulder at my phone.
"Yeah, actually most of the guys have private accounts, even I do." I shrugged.
"Could I have yours?" He asked and I complied, putting my username into his Snapchat, then adding myself. "Also, why aren't you using your crutches properly?" He looked at the crutches that I was holding in my left hand, using them more as a walking stick than actual crutches as my leg wasn't hurting that much anymore.
"I can't be bothered to actually use them properly because my armpits hurt like shit." Loch nodded as we stopped when we reached an intersection, a car stopped in front of us so we walked around it to the other side of the road. I adjusted my glasses slightly and I saw my house up the street.

"My house is just up there." I pointed so he could see.
"Sick." He nodded and smiled.
"As frick." I turned my head to him and he cracked up laughing.
"What the hell?!" He shook his head.
"I have no clue what it is either." I bit my lip to hold back my laughter. "I just started doing it because one of my friends did it to me so I did it to him, now I just do it to everyone."
"I think I'll start doing it too." He raised an eyebrow.
"Sick as frick will be our always." I giggled slightly.
"Always..." He chuckled.
"Sick..."
"As frick..."

A/N:
Legit the ending was me trying to make fun of romantic films lmao
So I was on leadership camp on Wednesday and Thursday and during the time there on the Thursday my house leadership team(there was 13 people in my house on the camp including the 2 teachers) had to do this thing called 'Triple H', where we had to share a hero, hardship, and a highlight of our lives. We were at this nice seaside town so my team sat on the beach in the shade, it was so nice that day and we could all get a good view of the ocean so it was a super chill time for us to reveal our deepest secrets lol. I took this as an opportunity to come out to my leadership team so I did, I almost cried but I'm proud that I came out in front of a big group of people for the first time in my life. One of the teachers is my french teacher so if I want to come out to my french class I can so yayyy

I have my exams right now too so I've been busy and stressed so sorry about not updating in forever

Bai
~yeeeee
