My G.U.I.D.E

• Dandy Headband Thingy •

"You almost kissed her?"

"Yeah... But the fucking fire alarm went off and the moment was ruined. And when we came back, she didn't say anything about it. I guess that's good? But she just got ready for bed, we laid down and fell asleep. But here's the thing, she cuddled with me. She. Cuddled. With. Me."

"Attends une minute. You sleep in the same bed with her?" Lafayette looked at me with confusion.

"Well- yeah..."

"And you're excited she cuddled with you? You're you and you seem like the type who... agit trop collant."

"Who what? Come on, Frenchy, you gotta speak English I don't understand what you're saying."

"Nothing. Nothing. But I really don't understand why you're so excited about her actions."

"I keep my distance in case she ever feels uncomfortable. She's sort of changed me for the better?"

There was a pause, then Lafayette smiled at me, nodding.

"I see."

"That's it? Jesus, French, what am I gonna do? I tell you my near death experience with her and all you say is 'I see'?"

"BJ, you're already dead." Laf pointed out, smirking. I paused shrugging at his words. "But oui, oui, you're right. What exactly do you have to do to be seen? You'd be able to take her on a date somewhere nice. It would seem like she's there alone because no one can see you. I don't understand how this whole death thing works. But anyway, whatever it is, get her to do it. I have to go to class, so I'll see you around. Good luck, mon ami."

"Gross."

Laf paused and looked at me with a questioning expression.

"That means 'my friend'." He laughed, then got up and grabbed his bag.

"Well how do you say 'my love'?"

"Mon amour."

"Okay... Bye Frenchy."

"See you, America."

"What?"

"Nothing. Au revoir."

He left me standing in the garden. I looked around and saw the different types of flowers. I saw some yellow ones that (Y/N) said were called dandy... Dandy something. She also taught me how to braid them into a little headband thingy. So I decided to make one for her.

It came out surprisingly well and didn't fall apart. Through my excitement, I decided to give the headband thingy to her after her class.

"Mon armor? Amor. Ar-mor. I think it's ar-mor." I shrugged, walking out of the garden, holding the headband thingy in my hands delicately. I didn't want to break it accidentally or drop it.

When I saw (Y/N), I immediately walked up to her, smiling. She saw me and smiled back and immediately I knew my hair would've been a light pink at the ends.

Your POV:

I walked out the door into the warm air. I felt hungry, tired and I'm pretty sure I just forgot all I learned in class.

I looked around and considered calling BJ when I saw him coming towards me. He was holding something in his hands, holding it out like he was carrying something fragile.

He had the biggest smile on his face when he saw me and I swear it was the most adorable thing ever. I smiled back at him and his hair turned a light pink. I still didn't understand why his hair did this, but it still made me giggle.

"Hey, BJ. What do you have there?"

"For you, mon- mon ar-mor!" He placed a flower crown on my head. It was made of dandelions and for his first flower crown he made without my assistance, he did pretty good.

"You mean mon amour?" I giggled, and he blushed.

"Uh... Yeah..." He snapped his fingers and a mirror appeared beside him. I looked into it, seeing the crown on my head. I stared at my reflection, a small frown on my face. The yellow crown seemed to compliment my eyes, making me seem more feminine and even... Beautiful..?

"What's wrong?" BJ asked me, a concerned expression on his face.

"Nothing... I just. I look..."

"Beautiful." I looked at him immediately. He smiled softly, causing me to blush and smile back. "You look beautiful, (Y/N). Don't ever doubt that."

I smiled and hugged him tightly. I immediately realized that if people were around - which thankfully they're not - it would appear as if I was hugging thin air.

"Thank you, BJ. You did a pretty good job braiding it."

"Because I had the best teacher. Take that as a huge compliment, because I hate school."

"You're at a school."

"Yeah, well I like this school."

I laughed a little, then looked around at the empty field.

"What do you wanna do?" I asked him, he was watching a couple pigeons eat some fries that were spilled onto the pavement.

"Anything you wanna do." I thought for a minute, before shrugging.

"Wanna go watch a movie?" He nodded and we began walking to my dorm. I had the urge to hold his hand as we walked, but I didn't wanna confuse him or make him comfortable, so I kept my hands in my pocket.

We talked about random things until we got to my dorm. We both decided on a movie, so I put it into the DVD player on my laptop and we sat down to watch the movie.

Halfway into the movie - which was the Nightmare Before Christmas - I fell asleep, leaving a curious BJ to finish the movie.

BJ's POV

Halloween town seems like a pretty cool place. I'd like to go there. Jack would have some competition for the leader of this town if I went there. I'm a great leader.

(Y/N) fell asleep during Making Christmas, so I let her sleep. She had her head on my shoulder. I felt a bit nervous, but she was comfortable and so was I. I moved her hair out of her face, smiling at her sleeping face.

When the movie was over, I closed the small light box thingy, placing it on her desk. I moved her to lay down on the bed so she could sleep better. I turned the lights off and laid down beside her. After a few minutes of contemplation, I decided to cuddle with her again, wrapping my arm around her shoulders as she laid her head on my chest. I sighed contently, then fell asleep
