McPriceley Oneshots

Wishes

Connor's POV

I swirl my fingers in the lake, enjoying the time I was able to spend by myself. I love my fellow elders, but honestly some of time their unrelenting cheeriness can be suffocating. Except for Elder Price, who can be less cheery than the others. It's odd... and confusing... and intriguing.

I check my watch for the time, thinking I should probably head back to the hut soon. 11:11. Make a wish, I think childishly. I squeeze my eyelids shut carefully, before concentrating my focus. I wish... I... I wish.... I wish for Elder Price to notice me, in, like, a gay way. I cringe at my own thoughts, but figure it's too late to take it back. Welp, it's not like it'll come true. It's a simple wish from a childish game.

I stand and dust off my slacks. Back to the hut, I guess. Maybe to cheer myself up I can attempt to steal one of Elder Thomas' poptarts.

~~~*Time skip brought by just general mcpriceley fluff*~~~

"Elder McKinley!" Elder Church calls from the kitchen as soon as I close the front door behind me. 

I poke my head inside, greeted with the sight of him and Elder Poptarts' sharing a box of the latter's namesake. So much for stealing one. Elder Church must be close to Elder Poptarts to earn such an honor. "What's up?"

"The sky," Elder Church replied dryly, and Elder Poptarts hit his shoulder. "I meant, do you have any jobs to do today?"

"Nope!" I say, trying to implant more bounce into my voice. "I sent Elder Zelder and Elder Davis out to the market, and the others should be out checking on baptisms! Is it just you two here?"

"No, I think I saw Elder Price head into his room," Elder Poptarts muses. "But who knows! Have fun on your day off!"

"Thanks!" I say, smiling widely. "I'll see you guys later!" I head up the stairs with vigor, eager to relax in my empty room with a book.

"Have you seen Elder Cun-" Elder Price pushes open his door with force, and cuts off halfway as he realizes it's me. "Oh, sorry. I thought you were Elder Thomas."

"It's alright," I squeak, blushing like a beet. "Um. I haven't seen Elder Cunningham lately, if that's what you were wondering."

"Thanks," Elder Price mumbles, dropping his head. Is that- I can almost swear that there's a blush creeping across his cheeks as well.

"Are you blushing?" I ask. Y'know, like a hypocrite.

"N-no," Elder Price says, closing his door behind him quickly. 

If I had been anyone else, my brain would have screamed GAYYYYYYYYYY. And yet, all I can register is that he's acting different. Elder Price, the suave and cool Super Mormon was not the creature I just spoke to. That was Elder Price, Mormon Disaster.

I like that Elder Price.

I close my door behind me, and sigh. A part of my brain couldn't help but wonder, dare to hope that maybe my simple joke of a wish at the lake had some sort of effect. But now, that's ridiculous. 

"Stupid, Connor, stupid," I murmur, hitting my head with my hand before flopping on my bed. Crushes were exhausting, and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. 

My eyelids grow heavy practically immediately, and before I drift into a nap, I feel myself reword my wish. I wish Elder Price loved me too.

Little did I know, the clock had just struck 1:11.

~~~*Time skip brought by my laziness in general*~~~

I stood and stretched, touching my toes before standing upright and rocking back and forth on my feet. Okay. I needed to get a hold of myself. I've been in love with Elder Price since he got here, but two childish wishes in one day was over the top. I needed to get a hold on myself. 

I push open my door and walk downstairs, yawning from the remnants of my nap. I slept for hours, I think, seeing the clock reach 6:30.

"Hello?" I call out to the empty kitchen. 

"In here!" Someone calls from the living room. I poke my head in, greeted with the sight of Elder Price watching Moana on our little TV. "Oh, hi," Elder Price says, pausing the movie.

"Hey," I mumble. "Where is everyone?"

"They went to some party at Nabulungi's. I was going to tell you, but you were out cold. So it's just us for the night."

Well fuc-

"I made some mac and cheese," Elder Price says, bringing a bowl from the table next to him. "This is yours."

"Thanks," I say, gingerly taking the bowl and sitting next to him on the couch (but not that close just enough to not be gay weird). 

I watch the movie with Elder Price, glancing over at him a few times to just take him in. He's so enthralled with the Disney magic he's nowhere close to noticing my weird stalkery staring. 

He's so beautiful. Just... ergh.

The movie wraps up, and Elder Price shuts it off. He stands and offers me a hand, which I gladly take. 

"Thank you for the dinner, Elder Price," I say stiffly, hoping my hand isn't too sweaty. He's still holding it...

"Kevin," he says softly.

"Excuse me?"

"My name's Kevin. You can call me it."

"A-alright," I say, pretty sure my brain is going to explode from 1. the absolute adorableness of the name Kevin to suit this new adorable bean of an Elder Price, and 2. the fact that he hASN'T LET GO OF MY HAND. "Please, call me Connor."

"Connor McKinley," Elder P- Kevin says smoothly, some of his old persona slipping in. "Lovely."

"U-uh huh. Yep. Sure." I stutter. Shut up shut up shut up

Kevin laces his fingers through mine, and my eyes widen GAY ALERT THIS FEELS VERY HOMOSEXUAL

"I have to say something," Kevin says quietly. I look at him as his eyes turn down to our intertwined hands. 

"Y-yeah?"

"I'm in love with you," Kevin whispers, and I blanch. He sees the shock in my eyes, and he recoils quickly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't-"

"NONONONONO!" I scream, grabbing his hand again as his eyes widen. "ME GAY TOO!" I clear my throat. "Sorry, I mean... I'm in love with you too."

His collected self breaks into a grin. "Really?"

"Really." I smile as well, bigger than I ever have. His eyes close, and I lean my head forwards. Slowly... slowly... Our lips touch, and I wrap my arms around his neck. His encircle my waist and I fall against him. 

As he leads me upstairs to cuddle, I have a feeling the hell dreams may not be as bad tonight.
