R5 Imagines

Ross and Azrielle

Azrielle's POV

I hummed to myself as I washed my hands at the kitchen sink. After drying them, I picked up the chopping knife and began to finely mince some garlic. I heard the door swing open followed by a "Yo! I'm here!"

I laughed and wiped my hands off. "Hi Ross."

"I brought the pie crust, the barbecue sauce, potatoes, apples, and the candy."

"Thanks-wait candy wasn't on the list."

"It was on the list in my head."

"Oh." I laughed. "I see."

"So what can I help you with?" He said placing bags of groceries to the table. 

"Umm…hang on. Lemme think."

"Okay. I'll be eating some of these Starbursts while you think." He grinned excitedly. 

I chuckled. Today, my parents were hosting a huge party and I had gladly agreed to cook for them. I was also extremely glad when they said I was gonna get paid. 

Eventually, I thought of something Ross could do while I finished preparing the pasta sauce. 

"Hey, I thought of something you could do." I said.

"Ooh." He accidentally dropped the bag of candy. "What can I do to help?" I giggled at his eagerness.

"I think there's like twenty taters in that bag. Could you peel half of the potatoes and put them on boil?"

"Sure thing." He replied.

I turned on some music and we worked at the kitchen island. 

"I don't get why we need driver's ed." Ross randomly started. "Driving is just like Mario Kart except slower and you can't throw blue shells at people."

I looked over at Ross in amusement and fright. "Please never drive." I told him.

"Too late."

"I know but luckily, I've never had to be in a car with you yet so….yeah…."

Ross pretended to be offended and put his hand to his chest. "Ouch. I am hurt."

I snickered and turned around to grab some cans of crushed tomatoes.

Of course, our pantry shelves were filled but the tomatoes were way at the top and I couldn't reach without things toppling on me. 

"Ross, can you help me?"

"Sure. Can't reach?" He smirked. 

"Yeah."

With ease, he reached his arm up and grabbed a couple cans. He turned to me and just stared blankly at me.

I heard him ask me a question or something but I had zoned out. I may or may not have been staring at his arms and his face and basically his general self. Why hadn't I noticed how attractive he was? All these years. Goodness gracious.

Ross waved a hand in front my face.

"Earth to Azrielle. Hello….Ri?"

I was startled back into reality. "Oh yeah…what?"

"Is that all you need?"

"Is what all I need?"

"The cans of tomatoes."

"Oh. Right." I looked at all four cans. "Yep. Thanks."

I listened and continued cooking as Ross rambling and gushed over fighter planes and ATV engines. It was adorable.

"Isn't that so freaking cool?!?!" was the only thing he said that made sense.

"Way cool." I said hoping he thought I was listening. 

"Ouch." He hissed. 

"Aww. Are you okay?" I said walking over to where he was standing. 

"I cut my finger." He pouted. 

"Lemme see." I examined his finger. 

"I gotta clean it out so it doesn't get infected, okay?"

"Okay." He sighed.

I cleaned out the cut and put a bright pink bandaid on his finger. 

"Thank you." He said admiring his index finger. 

"You're welcome."

Ross was now stirring the batter for some pancakes. He had insisted on making pancakes for our lunch so he was in the middle of making them. 

I looked into the pot where the potatoes were boiling. He put all the potatoes in the pot and only peeled them halfway. I laughed so hard, I cried. 

"Wait what's so funny?" He asked.

"Ross. When I said 'half the potatoes', I meant like half the bag. Not half of the actual potato."

"Ohhhhhhhh. That makes sense."

"Oh Ross, you make me laugh."

"Good. I like your laugh so it makes me happy." He said sitting on the countertop. 

"Hey. Can I tell you something crazy?" He asked.

"Sure but if it's about aerodynamics, you're gonna have to go really slowly because I don't quite understand that subject."

He laughed. "Nope. It's not about aerodynamics. I just wanted to tell you that  even though we're best friends and we're known each other since we were little brats, I didn't realize I was in love with you until a few weeks ago and also, you smell really good and have beautiful eyes."

I giggled and blushed at his randomness. "Aww. Ross. I feel the same way…and you smell nice and have nice eyes too."

Ross hopped off the counter and pulled me into a kiss. 

"You're so cute, I wanna throw rainbows and clouds at you." He blurted. Sometimes I didn't understand that kid.

"Thanks. You're cute too." 

Ross chuckled, taking my hands in his. "I can't imagine my life without you; and I have a very active imagination, so I should totally be able to do it. But I can't."
