Life Is Beautiful » Lil Peep ✔

~~part 21~~

As soon as everyone left and everything was picked up, Ivy and Gustav could leave but the boy had to **cough cough wanted to cough cough** change. He ran into his room and threw on a long white shirt, a half pink, half black hoodie to match his hair, ripped pink jeans with suspenders attached to drag the ground, and black Air Jordans.

Gus walked out of his room, kissed his mother on the head, and grabbed Ivy so they could leave the house in Liza's Traverse. They drove into town and parked on the street, walking a few blocks to reach Panera Bread. The boy and girl walked in and stood in line behind a group of girls to order. "So what do you normally get here, Gus?"

"Just macaroni and cheese. It's good and don't judge me because I'm a child." Ivy just shook her head with a chuckle.

"I would never do such a thing."

The girls ahead finished ordering and turned, one looking at Gustav. "OMG, that's Lil Peep!" The male teenager's eyes got wide. They know who I am?

He smiled. "Uh, how can I help you, ladies?"

"We're all really big fans. Could we get a picture with you?" Gustav nodded and one girl handed Ivy their phone for a picture.

"3...2...1." She took the picture and handed the blue-haired girl her phone back. They waved as they went to sit down. Ivy and Gustav ordered quickly and went to get their drinks.

"Do you like Pomegranate?" Ivy just shrugged and filled her cup with Sprite. "'Cause this Pomegranate and ginger tea is the bomb with like two packets of Splenda."

They sat at the two-person table--away from the fangirls--in front of the fake fire. They each pulled out their phone but Gustav spoke first again. "What's one thing you could drink by the gallon that's not a drink?"

"Uh... does it have to be something like ranch or something or can it be like soup?"

"Either. Any."

"Uh... I guess A1 Steak sauce. What about you?" She looked up from her phone into the boy's brown eyes.

"1000% Chick-fil-A's Avacado Lime Ranch. It's literally the best thing I've ever eaten and will have eaten by the time I die." Ivy nodded.

"Never had it, but now that you say that, it sounds good."

"Oh, it is." There was silence between the two friends until Gustav said, "Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds," in a cracky voice. Ivy looked at him with a chuckle.

"You're so weird. But I love you." He smiled a weird toothy grin.

"Why thank you, little lady." Ivy laughed again. "But really, I love you too, Vy. And that's one thing that I've said that wasn't a joke."

"What?"

"That wasn't a joke, I really do love you. Get it? 'Cause pretty much everything I say is a joke... so uh... ya' know?"

"Sure, Gus... I know." They both cringed but laughed.

The pink-and-black-haired boy threw away his and Ivy's trash where they could leave. Ivy told Gus to stop at Walgreen's where she could get his presents so that's what he did. He parked at the side of the building and they got out. As they walked in, Ivy told the boy to look around and try to stay away from her since it was a surprise of what she was getting him for his birthday.

He saluted her--her laughing then saluting back and saying, "At ease, soldier."

The teenager wandered around like a child or lost puppy, wondering what the black-haired girl was getting him. Ooo, I hope it's chocolate... *gasp* what if it is?! Now I want chocolate. Maybe I should check and see if that's where she is. What if it is and she gets sad that I figured her out? Oopsies. Imma go buy myself some chocolate, even if she is there.

Gustav walked to the candy aisle and didn't see Ivy so he proceeded on buy chocolate but with precaution. He grabbed a Snickers bar, Dove chocolate, Twizzlers, a pack of Mint M&Ms, Peanut butter M&Ms, Pretzel M&Ms (since he remembered Ivy said those were her favorite), regular M&Ms, a dark chocolate Kit Kat, and three Crunch bars. He felt sufficient with the amount of candy until he saw Tropical Starbursts next to a Whatchama-call-it. He gasped and threw two packs of each into his arms as well.

He wondered where Ivy had ended up. 

Then again, he could just go stalking around for her but that would've been unfair to her.

So he just checked out and waited for her outside. He threw his chocolate/candy into his mother's vehicle and lit a cigarette while he stood against the building. As he finished it, he saw Ivy walking out with a pink and yellow Peep plushie. Gustav gasped and dropped his cigarette butt on to the ground.

"Happy Birthday, Peepers!" She held them up where he could grab them.

"I love them! Thank you!" He hugged her, Ivy hugging back. He let her go. "Take a pic and post it. Send it to me too so I can post about the best friend I've ever had."

She laughed at his excitement. He was just like a child on Christmas morning when everything on his list was left in the living room or under the tree.

"You wanna spend the night?" Gus asked and shut the garage door as he walked into the door of his home.

"Uh."

"Oh, sorry, that sounded awkward. Do you wanna stay up all night with me? Wait that still sounds weird." Ivy laughed at his face of consentration. "Well... whatever. Do you though?"

"I'd love to but I need clothes for school tomorrow."

"You can wear those pants, or you can borrow a pair of my sweats, and you can use one of my hoodies and it'll probably be one you can keep unless we have another fight then in that case I give you the okay to burn it." He smiled at Ivy's little snicker. "But I can set you up with clothes."

"Did you get your candy out from the car?" She looked at him. Gustav looked around and realized he didn't and didn't even get out the plush Peeps.

"I'll be right back... again."
