1.2 The Other is Contemplative... and Forgetful

☀☀☀

1.2

He had been careful not to mark her. Not a single substantial love bite. But he was there, on her skin. He had to have been.

She was checking herself in her mirror at home after a shower. Thankfully her parents hadn't been home to see the state she was in.

Finn had tried to neaten her up a bit, fixed her hair, dug around his backseat for a scarf to cover the fading teeth marks and bright red patches. It was for naught, though, because she came home to a note saying her mom had suddenly been called into work.

She reviewed what had happened in her head.

So, Environment Club was having a bake sale. In two days. So the group stayed after school to make treats.

She forgot her bus money, and couldn't walk home because of the snow and it was an hour long bus ride in good weather.

Upon hearing her predicament, instead of giving her money, like a normal friend, Finn had offered her a ride. She was near where he was dropping off their mutual friend anyway.

So three people in the car. One leaves. Two left.

Two have banter. One’s a horny piece of shit. The other… goes along with it? Why did she go along with it?

To prove herself. To get some experience. She was 17. She wanted to have some stupid highschool tales to tell. She didn't, before… what just happened.

One returns the favour, and it's possibly the best thing the other’s experienced in a while. And One… was really good to her. But he’s good to everyone. Usually. Despite being kind of annoying. And loudmouthed. And blunt. And suspiciously pretty.

Gosh, she didn't even know him that well! They had like, one class together. Last year. And are both in Environment Club. But it's not like you can catch any diseases from putting a pair of clean fingers in your mouth. So it doesn't matter… right?

She looked at her desk, where the striped, blue and bronze scarf was folded neatly.

It was the only thing that was neat in her entire room.

She also noticed the cat on said scarf. She wanted to be annoyed, but she honestly didn't blame Mumford. It was soft, and smelled nice. Kinda like, wood smoke? It was comforting.

She considered her charging phone beside them.

“I should probably give him gas money, shouldn't I, Mumford?”

Nautari: Thanks for the ride!!! I got home in like 1/2 the time I usually do

Nautari: AlsoDoYouHaveAnAllergyToCats

Gotta work her way up to the topic of money.

She picks up the big fat tabby, squishes him until he squeaks, and sets him on her bed. Being a cat, he ungracefully wobbles away, obviously offended.

“Yeah, yeah. I buy you a cat bed and that's where you decide to sleep? That's your own fault, Mister.”

She completely forgot that allergies were a thing for a second there. She’d have to wash it, now. Jeez.

Her stomach growled. Leaving her phone upstairs, she went downstairs to get a snack.

She was in the mood for tea, toast, and…

Honey.

She felt her face flush at the thought.

Honey could make even soap taste sweet.

Like 10 minutes later, she realizes she forgot her phone upstairs.

She missed six texts, all from the same person.

StarKing: np and no I don't

StarKing: your parents ?!?!?

StarKing: scarf?!

StarKing: sorry I was at a red light when I sent that

Nautari: I'm literally such a dumbass I forgot like ALL of that

Nautari: Long division? Tf is tht

StarKing: listen ik I'm the tutor but Mood

She figures that’s a good end to a conversation and let it be. She continues enjoying her honey coated toast.

At this point, any mention of money had been forgotten.

Her phone buzzes again, though.

StarKing: hey did you get something to eat

StarKing: i’m low-key starving since we baked all those brownies and couldn't have. any. of them

Nautari: Yea actually I'm eating rn !! Having toast and tea

Thank you for reading this far in !!! 💕💗💓 It means a lot. I don't plan on putting that many A/Ns in ,, but who knows.

I'd like to remind you that comments are always welcome !!!

And I wanna know, since I wrote the segments in pairs for the most part, if you'd prefer getting shorter chapters like this? Or the double chapter sort of like the first part? I can do either !!!

(Chapters when in double will be less than 3 500 words, and in single will be 800+ I think,, depends on the goal of the scene and how clearly I can depict it.)

💘💛💚💙💜 Just let me know!

Also, I may bite but you should still talk to me lololol ,, you've read abt my fucking hand fixation and love of hickies so ? ???? ?? ???
