Summer had always been a time Belly, Steven and I had looked forward to. Sure Christmas and Easter were beautiful and memorable, but there was something about spending our summer at Cousins Beach. We'd been doing it ever since we can remember. For a whole three months, the Conklins and the Fishers did everything together. It was like while the rest of our year was shit, summer was always there to turn it around. We watched fireworks together, surfed, barbequed, and pulled all-nighters out in the backyard in tents pretending we were far away from our parents in some other country when in reality they were only a few feet away drinking wine and talking. We spent every waking hour together for those three months. And now that we’re all older, we party together.

After Belly and I turned sixteen we started seeing the boys in a different light. It was like they were the same boys we’ve known all our lives but somehow different. 

Steven would make fun of us for what seemed like years on the car ride to Cousins whenever he heard us giggling and whispering about how Belly and Jeremiah were destined to be since he posted a reel with her favourite song (he can't even remember her favourite colour for the life of him). But whenever she’d ask me about Conrad I’d shake my head and blush trying to convince her I didn’t like him like that.

Conrad was…complicated. He was gorgeous and tall and perfect and way out of my league. Hell, he probably saw me as a sister to him and nothing more. I had seen him go through girls year after next and had slowly started to lose hope of there being an ‘us’ anyway.

My thoughts get interrupted by yet another loud sigh by Steven. I swear if I don't end up strangling him by the time we get there…

“I’m boredddd”, Steven sighs.

“Steven that's your tenth consecutive ‘I’m bored’  in a row, can’t you think of anything else to say?” Belly all but yells at him.

He lets out another sigh before I wack the side of his head from the backseat.

“Hey!” he yells out trying to get me back from the passenger seat while Belly laughs and starts recording the moment on her phone.

“Alright, kids can we dial down on the domestic abuse, please? I’d like to go at least a few hours before having to swallow another paracetamol from your headaches.”, Mom says obviously getting fed up with us.

Instead of arguing back I try and shut Steven up by asking him questions.

“So Stevie,” I start, giggling as he annoyingly groans at the nickname Belly, Taylor and I made up for him, “what are you…most excited for this summer?” I ask making up the question off the top of my head.

Steven thinks for a minute before answering, “Surfing for sure.” He nods.

“Drinking wine with Susannah.”, says Mom smiling at the thought of her best friend.

“Fourth of July.”, says Belly.

“You sure you’re not most excited to see Jere?” I nudge her with my elbow as she squeals and looks away.

“What about you honey, what are you most excited for?” Mom asks, looking at me through her rearview mirror.

“The bonfire.” I say, smiling.

I’ve always loved the bonfire. Everything about it, it's always such a vibe. The kegs, the fire, the songs, the smores. It's always been my favourite part of the summer.

Until this summer, when I brought my boyfriend to Cousins.

“You guys ready for the bonfire, should we go down?” Conrad asks as he enters the living room. I look up at him from my position with Belly on the couch. God, I’d forgotten how pretty he was.

Conrad comes behind the couch and wraps his arms around my neck giving me a slight hug before pulling away, “I missed you.” he says looking down at me.

Before I can reply Steven speaks up, “Aw Connie, no worries man I’m here now,” he says smiling enthusiastically as he pulls Conrad towards the door by his shoulders while everyone laughs at his misunderstanding.

Conrad looks at me expectantly and takes out a small box from his pocket.

“Let's go, man,” Steven says to Conrad before pulling on him again, “I wanna show you this really cool trick I learned the other day…” He drones on as Conrad’s eyebrows furrow and he looks back at me, “Aren’t you coming?” he asks pointing at me questioningly.

I give him a sad smile before responding, “I’ll join you guys later, I’m gonna wait here for Dean he should be here soon.”

Just when I thought they couldn’t, Conrad’s eyebrows furrowed deeper.

“Who’s Dean?”

“Oh didn’t we tell you?,” Belly responds, “Y/n has a boyfriend.”

Conrad and Jeremiah’s faces were a sight to see. Eyes wide, mouths agape and eyebrows straight up, staring at me as if I had told them I got my eyeballs tattooed.

“Okay, you don't have to be that surprised…ouch.” I wince.

Conrad and Jeremiah straighten up and Jeremiah looks at me and smiles before saying, “No, no that’s…uhm that’s great Y/n.” He looks at Conrad halfway through his sentence as Conrad looks down at his feet and puts the box he was holding, in his pocket before turning to Steven and talking to him about setting the keg up for the bonfire and walking out the door without sparing a glance to me.

“That was weird.” I say to Belly as she leans in to give me a hug,

“Totally. What’s his deal?” she responds.

“Beats me.” I shrug before yelling “Have fun! Use protection!” out behind her and Jeremiah before Belly turns her head around and flips me off which just makes me and Jeremiah laugh harder.

I sigh and turn the tv on. With Mom, Susanna and everyone going out, I was the only one left to wait for Dean. I wonder how long he’ll be, I can’t wait to go to the bonfire. Luckily I got a text from him just as I decided on watching Gilmore Girls.

'hey, i'll be there in five :)'

whew that’s part one done! here’s part two!!

1999, part two

What year will the Theodore Nott series be in I want to rewatch the movies to get in the mood for it ykyk😋🙏

hiiii omg ok so it'll start from the sixth year and then we'll probaby go on till end of seventh from there but for now i'd rewatch half blood prince if i were you😋😋

Hihi! I’m super excited for 1999 (and any other works you throw into the tumblrverse!) I’m excited to see where the story goes! 🖤

oh my gosh thank you so much, that means a lot! :)) i’m already writing part two for 1999 hopefully it’ll be better than the first part i have a few ideas🤭🤭🤭

No bc normally I’m so scared to like verbalize my thought process when reading stuffs bc my brain just goes brrrrr and fixates on the weirdest shit I feel like 😂😂 but I decided fuck it I’m just gonna unleash my thoughts and takes and hopefully bring some laughter. But I’ll be sure to keep up my long ass comments as long as you want them ☺️

But no I love the pacing, it’s not too fast but it’s also not the slowest burn ever. You’re doing amazing with it honestly 🖤🖤🖤

I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next chapter even if it takes a while, no rush at all I’m just excited to read and also socialize over it honestly. And idk what a gcse is (google says it’s a big test?) but good luck at school!! 🖤

thank you i love you so much omg🫶🏽🫶🏽

gcses are my 13th reason why no joke🤡🤡

but i’ll try write multiple chapters this weekend so i can just post them as the week goes on or i’ll just write a rly long one i’m not sure yet

but pls give me more requests or anything for other fics (can be conrad again i’ll never get tired of him🤭🤭) !!!

Okay bestie I just finished part two of 1999?! I love?!!

Okay so, Dean? Can eat shit wth, if some dude made out with my best friend I’d drag him outta that jeep and go off! Only would have been better if Conrad had beat Dean up, we love a protective king 😤😂

Also I adore drunk Steven? I need more of I’m in my life, he’s a goober.

And Conrad going from comforting to kissing? I’m so glad she (I? What’s the proper terminology for reader inserts? 💀) backed away bc first of all, Dean just cheated and the relationship is over and Connie thinks now is a good time to kiss and confess??? I hate men 😂😂 Oh and I too love Conrad’s hair, I just wanna run my fingers through it 🥺🖤

Okay but I think my favorite lines are “I pull away from him as fast as I can and make distance between us. Physical distance. Since he has the emotional distance covered I might as well take over and finish it with physical.” Like yes yes perfect phenomenal I love. That’s how I feel like I would have to be with Mr. Emotionally Constipated 😂

Ahhh I just love it all so much!! Are we going to get more back story on why Thérèse apparently hates our guts? (Also how do you pronounce her name bc I’m pretty sure what I’m saying in my head is wrong lol) And are we going to learn more about whatever our history with Conrad is? Honestly I’m loving the angst rn and just everything in general and I’m sorry for making an essay and all that 😂 I hope you’re having a good day though 🖤🖤

STOP IM GONNA CRY ILYSM IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!!

real deans a rat but a dean and conrad interaction might come sooner than you think🤭🤭
