MONEY

𝔭𝔦𝔫𝔨 𝔣𝔩𝔬𝔶𝔡

"I'm just sayin', Ana, if you could take your clothes off with one little magical nose twitch, I wouldn't think twice before going for you."

"Kelso, man, shut up!"

I laugh. "You don't think twice about doing anything, Mike."

He lifts me up off of the ground. "Yeah, exactly."

I squeak. "Put me down, you asshole."

Steven rolls his eyes. "C'mon, man, let her go. And stop touching her ass!"

"I'm taller and stronger than you, Hyde! I won't forfeit!" Kelso jeers.

He sets me down after a swift punch to the arm. "Ow!"

I open the door to the Formans' basement, where Eric counts money, alone on the couch.

"What are you doing?" I query.

"Nothing," he shrugs. "Just counting my secret-"

"Not secret," I correct.

He spares me a glance. "Yeah, my not secret CandyLand stash. I'm getting something special for Donna."

"Aw, that's so sweet," I coo after taking my seat on Steven's (very comfortable) lap. "I'm sure she'll love it."

"Oh, are you getting firecrackers?" Kelso guesses hopefully.

Eric gives him a look. "No, I'm not getting firecrackers for Donna."

"No, no, 'cause if it's something that blows up, I'll go halfsies." When he doesn't answer, Kelso stands to grab a pop.

"It's a promise ring."

I freeze. A promise ring? I don't have a very good experience with those.

Steven leaves a small kiss on my shoulder, probably knowing that I won't like the idea.

"'Cause, you know, Donna and I have been fighting a lot lately," Eric explains.

"Eric, don't give her a ring just because your relationship isn't in a good spot right now," I warn. "It's just going to make you feel trapped and shit because you can't get out of that unhappy spot right now."

"Look, Ana-"

"I mean, that's a really serious thing to ask. For her to be with you for the rest of your lives, I mean-"

"Stop!" he interrupts. "I'm not going to chicken out. Just because it fucked everything up with you and James doesn't mean it's going to be the same for us. Plus, me and Donna actually love each other."
