starter for @notbit !


time is hard to keep track of now, but louis isn’t blind to the changes of both himself and the friends around him. he’s started growing facial hair, started losing the baby fat in his cheeks—at least to some degree—and he’s got little patches of hair in places he hadn’t remembered them being before. he’s just thankful to whichever of his parents’ genes that prevented him from having breakouts.
and despite his own body’s questionable changes, he supposes it could be worse. he thinks about willy and the way the boy’s voice cracks over the tiniest things and the plethora of acne that plagues his skin. ah, the joys of puberty… still, louis has other things on his mind besides his friends’ changes. well… most of them, anyway…
his eyes flit over to the girl—or woman—beside him, taking in the slope of her nose from her profile view as they walk. clementine. if anything, she’s aged the most gracefully out of all of them. and louis acknowledges that he is entirely biased, but he doesn’t care. anyone with half a brain could see the beauty clem’s become—not that she wasn’t already beautiful, but, in louis’ opinion, she’d only managed to grow even more beautiful with time.
he’s reminded of the quote from mulan that had never managed to leave his mind even after all these years: the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all. and he’ll be damned if it doesn’t fit clem to a T. he wonders if he should mention it to her; wonders if it would make her blush. it’s an entertaining thought.
instead, he carries on about one thing or another—anything to fill the silence between them—and he notices that she’s been quiet, which isn’t anything unusual, but, knowing her as well as he’s grown to, he can tell when it’s an unusual amount of quiet.
“ penny for your thoughts ? ” he asks after a brief pause, brow risen. he knows they need to focus—keep their eyes peeled for anything they could bring back to the school—but checking in with each other while they do it wouldn’t hurt anything.

are you messing with me ? is this some kind of fucked up joke ? 'cause I checked yesterday... and that's not where I left your coat...
carys doesn’t know tara, not really. and yet, the word vomit simply cannot cease. she doesn’t really have anyone to talk to aside from a few people on the internet that she really doesn’t know. tara just so happens to be one of the poor, unfortunate souls that she happened to stumble into in real life; said soul who just so happened to be kind enough to initiate small talk with her.
carys, in her colorful striped sweater with a bow around her ponytail deceived many people into thinking that she was, indeed, normal—well, the folks who weren’t typically from around there, or the ones who didn’t really know of her, at least. she’d never seen tara before, but tara was nice—nicer than most of the people carys engaged with. she’d probably thought the small talk would start and end with a good book recommendation, but it had snowballed into carys oversharing and telling tara all about how at least when she was at work, she didn’t have her mother breathing down her neck—most times, anyway. it certainly didn’t stop her mother from trying to call or text at times, much to carys’ chagrin on the days where she forgets to mute her phone.
“ you should feel my heartbeat every time i hear my phone, ” she explains, maybe a little too animatedly, hand moving to her chest. “ i mean, i love my mom, really, but she just—she can be a bit much… ” it takes a few beats before carys realizes that she, too, happens to be ‘a bit much’; like mother, like daughter, she supposes.
embarrassment flutters across her features before she’s giving tara a way out of their, admittedly, mostly one-sided conversation.
“ but, uh—i’m sorry, i—i don’t mean to hold you up ! ”

to say that he and mitch have a bit of a…tumultuous relationship is an understatement. they have their ups and downs and ons and offs, but somehow ( probably from weakness on both of their ends ), they always wind up right back where they left off. they can never seem to truly leave each other alone. louis would be amiss to deny that he’s enamored by mitch’s freckles and minty green eyes—eyes so intense that they make every hair on louis’ body stand on end when mitch gazes into his eyes. it’s those same intensely green eyes that make louis weak in the knees and could get him to do just about anything. it’s a fault of his, and he knows it, but when put in that situation, it’s hard for louis to deny mitch anything.
so, when mitch comes crawling back after their last big fight, louis tries to turn him away—he does good at first, but eventually, mitch has him worn down, and he caves. he can practically see the eye rolls of their friends when they find out that they are, indeed, back together.
“ i should just tell you to leave, ” louis sighs, hands gripping at mitch’s broad shoulders as he gazes up at him. “ 'cause i know exactly where it leads, but i watch us go 'round and 'round each time… ”
it truly is, entirely, a fault of louis’ that he’ll always take mitch back and he knows it.
