"Claire." Evan's voice rang from behind her, eliciting an eye roll.

"I'm not in the mood to debate you right now, Evan," Claire grumbled, slamming her books onto the desk before taking a seat. "I just wanna ask you something." His voice was softer than usual, making Claire stop violently turning the pages of her textbook to turn to him.

"What?" She asked curiously. "I was uh," He rubbed the back of his neck, "I was wondering if you'd wanna go...out with me?" Evan winced under her confused gaze. "You? Out with me?" Claire felt butterflies in her stomach.

She never thought Evan was bad looking, he was far from it anyway, she just hated whenever they debated about her favorite band. "Yeah, why not?" "You've always wanted to argue with me. Should I not be surprised?"

He laughed softly, looking embarrassed. "Would it be stupid if I said I was just doing it so we could talk?" She raised an eyebrow. "So you really don't hate Fortydust?" "I did...not anymore though. Their ep with Brockhampton showed me what I was missing," Then he smiled even brighter, "And Loverboy was amazing."

"You...really like them?" Her mouth was open in shock. "Yeah," He laughed, "And I'm hoping you're a Brockhampton fan now too." "Why's that?"

He reached into his backpack, pulling out two slips. "I got us tickets to the Loverboy tour. Featuring Brockhampton." "Oh my god." She covered her mouth in surprise. "You don't have to come at all, I just thought if we were gonna go out, it should be something fun."

"How'd you pay for these?" She asked breathlessly. "I've been saving up for them with the job I've been working. I mean, I was gonna go to the concert anyway but-"

"I have to pay you back." Claire reached into the front pocket of her bag but Evan shook his head. "Do you wanna come?" "Yeah of course." She blushed brilliantly and he laughed. "Then come. Don't worry about the money. I want us to go together." His cheeks suddenly turned redder than hers and Claire grinned.

"Thank you," She reached over softly to kiss his cheek, making him blush harder, "I'm excited to go together."

"Dude, you didn't get a ticket for me?" Milo asked and they both laughed. "We can try to get you one." "Nah I'm just messing with you," Milo smirked, "I already got myself one. I'd never miss out on a chance to see the greatest collectives in history."

*Months Later*

"He's so cute I wanna squeeze him." Kenny smiled, snapping a picture of Joba and Harley's new dog that they had just gotten together.

But now there they were, at the BH house to celebrate Trinity's birthday all together. She had wanted an outdoor party with backyard food and loud music beside all of her closest friends.

"What kind of dog is Clover?" Kenny asked, taking another picture. "A Border Collie." She was multicolored with black, brown, and white fur and filled with tons of energy.

Harley and Kenny awed as Clover rolled over. "You're a good girl, aren't you?" Kenny cooed in a baby voice, pursing her lips at the dog. "She's really good and the cutest dog I've ever seen." Joba's voice came up behind Harley as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Hey, Russy." She smiled before kissing him softly. "Hi, Zoey." She smiled softly onto his lips. "Aaaand that's my cue." Kenny smiled, making them laugh before chasing Clover away.

Joba and Harley had been living together in his old apartment with Clover but every now and then they'd spend a day in their old houses with the rest of their bands. She hadn't seen him since yesterday because Harley wanted to spend the day with Trinity for her birthday.

"I missed you." He whispered into her ear and she shivered. "It's been a day, lovely." "I know, but ever since we've been living together it's getting hard for me to spend a moment alone." Joba traced her bare hipbone lighty.

"I can't blame you." Harley closed her eyes, leaning back against his chest as Joba continued running his cool hands against her waist. "You think we can go home together tonight." Home. Harley smiled at that.

"Yeah I'm sure. Trinity will be done with everyone by twelve." Joba chuckled and his deep laugh washed over her, making her smile even wider. "Are you sure?" "Positive," Harley turned around to wrap her arms around his neck, planting a quick kiss on his lips, "Love you." "Love you too." Joba wrapped his arms around her waist once more as they swayed to the music together.

Dancing was one of their favorite things to do ever since they'd danced at the beach and then again at the Loverboy party. There was nothing like being wrapped up in Joba's arms while he sang softly to her.

"I'm so cheesy now." Harley snorted and Joba raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?" "You have me thinking about how much I love dancing with you and romantic shit. I don't know if I can take myself anymore."

"Oh come on, you're a romantic at heart and you know it." "Shut up, don't say that." She stepped on his foot lightly and he pretended to be in pain. "You know you love romance. If you didn't, you wouldn't be with me." "If you keep this up I'm not coming home tonight." "And you also know that's a lie." "It is." She sighed dramatically before smiling at him, making Joba grin back.

"Do you wanna finish that song we've been working on, later?" "Oh my god I almost forgot about the idea I had," She gasped and then smirked, "But I'll tell you later." "Please tell me now." He whined, making Harley shake her head.

"I want to see the look on your face when we combine what you have so far with my new idea." "Fine. I know it'll be worth it." Harley clicked her tongue, curling a lock of his hair between her fingers as they continued to sway.

"You have so much confidence in me, Joba." "You've never proven otherwise." He shrugged and she giggled. "Come here." They kissed softly before Kevin spoke from across the yard saying, "You guys would win the award for most pda." Harley flipped him off.

"Just think," She smirked, looking over at him, "You get to see all of this pda because of how much of an asshole you were."

"Just think," Kevin smirked back, "I don't regret it."
