Falling For The Enemy [Memeulous Fanfic]

Chapter 8: He'll Come Around Eventually

It wasn't long after Fraser and James arrived that Gee showed up.

She pulled me into a hug and was really sweet. We instantly hit it off. We talked about her Twitch streams, my plan for after uni, and her job editing for my brother.

"He pulls the dumbest shite on me too," she giggled. "One time he made me sit and read out facts about him on one of my Twitch streams. All so that he can gain more subscribers than that poor kid Morgan's mum."

"I remember that," I exclaimed. "Got a bit of an unhealthy obsession with that woman, he has."

"Oi," Will shouted from the kitchen where he was seemingly eating all the snacks he'd lain out earlier. "I'm not obsessed with her. She tarnished my name. Can't have that, can we?"

I rolled my eyes and turned back to Gee. "He dragged me into that video too. Had me send him a picture of me holding a blank sheet of paper. Photoshopped the damn thing to where I was holding a 'sub to willne' sign. Hated it. We've got to support Big Jill somehow."

Gee laughed and Will walked up beside us. "Bloodlines be damned," he said quietly. "Take the piss like that again and I'll put you on the street."

He pulled Gee to the lounge to talk to Mia, so I made my way to James and Fraser. They were talking about some friend of theirs, but stopped as I approached.

"Mar," James greeted pulling me into the proper hug he'd not been able to give me earlier. "I see your fear of talking to the big man has dissipated."

I cracked a smile and shook my head. "James, you're a giant teddy. Anyone who's afraid of you is a mong."

Both boys bust out laughing, and it took them quite a while to calm down.

"Mary Lenney has jokes," Fraser shouted, lifting my arm into the air. "All hail the banter king."

Mia spoke up from the couch, giggling the entire time. "May your reign be endless." I bowed to my audience and spotted George in the corner smiling.

"Will, Mar might be my new favourite Lenney sibling. I'm stealing her. She will be my new sister." James joked but wrapped his arms around my stomach and picked me up. He began to carry me over his shoulder towards the door. All the while I squealed and lightly hit his back with my fists.

"Put me sister down you knobhead," Will dismissed James.

James set me down and nearly laughed his head off.

"You know what James. I am afraid of you."

I was talking to Fraser about what direction we wanted the MCU to take after the events of Endgame, when two arms wrapped around me. James was in my peripheral talking to George and Alex so I had no clue who was grabbing me. I jumped and spun around to see my favorite ginger in front of me.

"Stephen," I said and rushed him in a hug. He held me close and laughed. "To be honest, I thought you'd abandoned the party to film or edit."

He flashed me his gorgeous smile. "And miss my favourite girl? Would I even dare?" God his green eyes made me melt. "Besides," he says, lowering his voice. "Will over there told me he'd stop threatening my life if I keep trying to chat you up. Didn't think I could pass on an offer like that."

I laughed and fell back into his arms. He's perfect. Younger Mar would be so proud of me right now. He smelled of citrus and I smiled.

"Stephen, mate," Will called from the couch. "C'mere lad. Who's is the bird with you?"

I rolled my eyes and turn to face the couch. Will's eyes widen in surprise. "What a shame you don't recognize me. You must be a bit pissed."

Will frowns and assesses the drink in his hand. "This is only drink number 7 like," he slurred as Stephen and I sat on the couch next to him and Mia. Stephen rested his arm across my shoulder and Will didn't even react. He must've been serious about being okay with Stephen and I flirting.
