Write On Me Universe

broken hearts & late night dinners

A/N: Based off one of the headcanons from the first couple of chapters. Important to note that this is a couple of weeks after the five meet, and DNAC don't want Lauren to just jump into their relationship right away. The soulmate isn't necessarily romantic (though in this case it does end up that way, obviously). They want her to go on dates with others first, since Lauren hasn't been in many relationships and they don't want her missing out on possible other relationships. Also, just a reminder since it's been a while, Lauren is the youngest of the five in this universe.

Read and enjoy!

Lauren knocked on the door of the house, waiting for one of the others to open it.

"Hey, Lauren," Normani greeted as she opened the door, grinning at the smaller girl. "You know you can just come in, right?"

"But it's not my house. I can't just walk in."

"Yeah you can, Ralph," Dinah stated as the two entered the kitchen. "You're over here almost every day of the week."

"Is that a problem?" Lauren asked worriedly.

Dinah shook her head. "No, of course it's not," she assured. "You're over here all the time, you can just come in. You don't need to knock."

Lauren took a seat on one of the stools under the island, letting out a small sigh of relief. "Okay, fine. Where are Ally and Camz?"

"At the store getting the things we need to make pizza and cookies," Normani answered, opening the fridge. "Want anything to drink?"

"Soda, please," Lauren answered. "Is that something you guys do every week? Because this isn't the first time I've been over and you guys were making pizza."

"Ally loves to bake, and pizza is easy enough no disasters will happen," Dinah explained, sitting next to Lauren.

Normani looked at the blonde incredulously. "Are you forgetting the time you and Camila got into a food fight and Ally banned you two from the kitchen for a month?"

Dinah sighed and muttered, "How could I forget when it took three hours to clean the kitchen."

Lauren gaped at the taller girl in disbelief. "What the fuck did you do?"

"There was so much pizza sauce everywhere," Dinah answered vaguely. "I'm surprised Ally still lets us make pizza after that."

"You and Camila will not be helping tonight," Ally stated as she walked in with grocery bags, the younger brunette following with the rest. "Hi, Lauren. How are you?" she asked, setting the bags on the counter.

"I'm okay. You're banning them from the kitchen?" the green eyed girl asked.

"Just from helping. I don't need them ruining the kitchen again," the oldest girl stated, glaring at the two in question.

Lauren nodded, and moved to help unpack the groceries. "So, you know how you guys insisted I go out on a date before we do anything about our bond?"

Dinah looked at the girl with a smirk. "Do you have a date this weekend?"

Lauren blushed and shifted on her feet. "Well, this girl from the library asked me out. We're going to dinner on Friday."

"What are you going to wear?" Normani questioned excitedly. "I really hope you're planning on wearing something other than jeans and a hoodie."

"What's wrong with that?" Lauren asked, giving the older girl a slight pout.

The dark skinned girl rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Lauren, you have to dress to impress, come on. Friday afternoon, you're coming over here and Dinah and I are helping you get ready."
