pairings. louis partridge x fem!reader
summary. reader never would have thought about getting high until she seems to have lost all her morals in one night with a boy she had never met before.

warnings. swearing, underage drinking and smoking
ricky rocks. YALL PLEASEEE bare with me. you can probably tell this is an older story because of the format, but just disregard the first half, i know itâs the lower end of my writing. it kinda gets better đŹ (edit: this story is so mid, iâm just trying to clear my drafts)
the room danced with colors, so many colors and shades you seemed to have never seen before. unfamiliar with their cause and purpose, unsure why you couldnât touch them; it frightened you with the way they moved around, the way they twirled around your head like little ballerinas.
you swallowed, dropping your head back against the grungy brown couch sat in the corner of one of the back rooms of connorâs house, a boy you found yourself calling on day after day for the past two months for fun, and by fun you meant sex.
but tonight, you hadnât seen the boy for what you could count as hours. there were other things on his mind rather than a high off their ass you. other pretty girls with less clothing on their bodies and longer hair that was paid more attention to than your own.
you couldnât care less at that point in time as you felt so deep in a haze, nothing could pull your attention. nothing, until the seat next to you sunk in from the pressure of bodyweight and another high body, seeing the same things you were seeing, feeling the same things you were feeling.Â
he just had it more under control.Â
âyou going to stare at the ceiling all day, love?â
you rolled your head to meet the eyes of a crazed blonde with matching brown eyes. delight swirled in his irises while he looked at you with also dazed eyes, almost ceased shut from swelling of the high. you looked amazed right back at him despite sober you would have been disturbed, never seeing a person so out of their mind.
âwho are you?â you stared at him, shocked.Â
âyour new boyfriend,â he wiggled his eyebrows, jumping and readjusting himself up against you, his arm now slinging up and over you shoulders. a new kind of energy swelling through his chest, âi say we go on a date.â
he stared in front of him focused full hearty, as if visualizing something at that moment. you squinted, looking to where he was looking as if trying to see what he was seeing, but not enough weed could put you on his level.Â
âi say, we leave right now, get some pie, maybe some coke. whatever you like sweetheart, iâll give it to ya.â âI think your sweetheart wants some space, jake,â your eyes looked from the boy who sat next to you, jake, to the boy who now stood before the two of you, an unimpressed look on his face. his arm reached out to jake, practically yanking him from your side. âalright pal, letâs go for a walk.â
you watched jake stumble into him, âbut louis, sheâs pretty.â
louis glanced back over his shoulder as he begun to pull jake away from the couch and toward the door, now really coming to your attention. his eyes raked you up and down before smirking a little bit, nodding to himself, âsure man, she is.âÂ
he begun to walk away with jake wrapped around his shoulder before you got up fast almost tripping over your feet, not wanting them to go, âwait, i want a pie.âÂ
he looked back at you and your disoriented self. your shoulders were slung low, making you smaller than you actually were. your hair was all staticky, hanging above your head like a crown, and your eyes;Â dilated and filled with innocence.
he smirked, looking you up one more time before nodding you over, cuing you to follow after him, his arm still holding jake to his toes.
the boyâs car was blue. louisâ car was blue. it was one of those old, nice, restored cars that must have been worth thousands. the interior had light brown leather seating that made noise every time you shifted and readjusted yourself due to the old springs lying beneath. it made you giggle as you sat next to him in the front seat, jake lying in the back due to him not being just high, but rather cross faded. louis had apparently found him completely plastered out of his mind once he had first arrived at the party, leading him to hand jake a blunt to finalize his out-this-world experience. it wasnât smart, but it kept louis entertained to say the least.
louis had glanced at you multiple times as he drove through the silent streets. he seemed eager or maybe even a little irritated as he watched you bounce around, lacking the ability to sit still as your eyes darted everywhere, from street lights to stop signs to anything thatâd fully occupied your vision.
âhave you ever been high before?â he asked, stopped at a stop light with red lights shading upon both your faces.
ânope,â your eyes wandered across the ceiling of his car. you ran your fingers along the soft carpeted interiorâstrange, but very stimulating and softâmaking you feel all fuzzy inside of satisfaction. âlouis, i love you car.â
he chuckles lowly, directing his eyes back to the road, âa lot of people do,â his lips were turned upwards into a slight smirk. it made the fuzzy feeling in your stomach turn warm as there was something very satisfying about just the way he looked. âweâre here.â
your eyes flick to the front of you where your visions bursts with neon lights beaming from the large âdinerâ sign pinned against the small vintage looking building. you're quick to slip out of the car to the euphoric sight.
ây/n!"
you stopped in your tracks at the sound of your name, glancing over your shoulder where your eyes immediately find a group of boys congregating together with one single boy appointed to attention to you.Â
louis.Â
"hold on. give me a minute, guys," you watch louis from five feet away, brush his friends off despite the yearning looks of amusement on all of their faces, looking between the both of you. heâs far from bothered or just doesnât notice; brushing them off before meeting you to where you stood.
it was a wednesday after school. the sweet sound of louisâ voice and sight of his captivating face was the last thing you thought youâd come across. it mustâve been a mutual feeling with the way he looked you up and down, all winded looking.Â
"you're a hard person to find."
"you've been looking for me?"
"of course," he has a cigarette in his mouth.
"I almost didn't think you were real."
"of course i'm real, sweetheart," he grins harder at you. "that fucked up, were you?"
you snort. if not being able to remember half of what took place that night counted for being fucked up, you took the trophy.
"well, alright. i'll take that as you had a pretty good night."
"one of the best."
âgood,â he grins, âthatâs a rare occasion for girls like you.â
âgirls like me?â you scoff, arching a brow. his sentence could easily be something taken for offence, but the lighthearted tone to his voice only proved he was looking to mess with you.Â
âyes,â he laughs with you. âusually drinking is the only thing youâd catch a teenage girl doing for non-sober purposes.âÂ
you nod, agreeing, because he wasnât wrong, âiâve had a fair amount of experience with alcohol and let me just say, iâll be steering clear of that for a while.âÂ
âah,â he tips forward on his feet in amusement. âi couldâve guessed youâre a wild one with your liquor, y/l/n. make some questionable choices.âÂ
you feel your face heat up in thought, âi wonât say youâre wrong.âÂ
louis lets out a small huff of laughter, before pausing all movement. he stares at you for a moment with narrow brows, as if trying his best to read you, âyou ever wanna smoke with me, just let me know, alright?â he patted your back before suddenly walking past and away from you. your back was to him now but you could hear pat pat pat of his feet in the grass.
you frown, your eyes finding the cracks of the sidewalk as you think of how brief and unusual that was. you feel a large hole in your chest of unfulfillment.Â
âlouis, wait,â you shifted around rather quickly as a reality hit you, but you didnât make any moves to chase after him. he turned as well as if waiting for it. âyou uh, you didnât tell connor i was with you guys, did you?â
yikes.
thatâs not what he wanted to hear.Â
louis pinched the bud of his cigarette, nodding to himself, thinking contently to his answer before exhaling, a thick cloud of white swirling out into the air before your eyes. you feel dazed, still high from the days before, filled with such naĂŻve joy and lost thoughts of things you couldnât remember now.
he threw his cigarette on the ground, eyes meeting yours again, only they were hard now and filled with no light heartedness like all times before. and his voice wasnât soft or full of amusement either but dry as he stared you dead in the eyes, âwhy, he your boyfriend?â
your teeth sunk into your bottom lip, your eyes not meeting his for a while until after you thought about your answer. and it was an easy answer, no, but it was never something youâd ever consider a question.Â
âno, no heâs not.â
âyou sure about that?â
ânot my type,â you smile slightly, examining louisâ pale cheekbones and facial features, the cold of the weather turning his complexion slowly red. your eyes drag to reach his red chapped lips.
him, he was your type.Â
âenough of your type for you to fuck him,â he gave you a pointed look as if he had caught you in the act of something, and almost immediately your cheeks burned, like you were caught for something you knew you shouldnât have been doing.Â
you didn't understand why or how he knew. louis was someone you didn't know at all and what you and connor did was something you didn't tell anyone.
"you're surprised?"
"yes."
"why do you care what he knows, let alone fuck him?" he doesn't say anything more on how he knows like you hoped he would. "if he's not your type?"
you bite into your bottom lip, wincing because you didn't know the answer to it, "I don't."
"but you do," he slightly smiles but it's only out of annoyance as his voice catches up to cut you off on your lie. "I think you do, y/n. and you just don't want him to know we kissed."
"your mouth tastes like cherry."
"so does yours."
fuck.
"no, louis..." you wince, immediately regretting stopping him. "that's not what I meant. he doesn't mean anything to me."
he scoffs, "funny."
he doesn't believe you. not even close.
"you know he has label on you."
"a what?" you frown immediately, taking a step forward out of instinct.
âiâm a fool to think youâd ever stop liking him,â he holds his face, running his fingers along the sharp lines of his jawbone as he thinks about his idiotic hope thatâd you so fastly fall for him as you did with connor. âfoolish to think youâd drop him over one night.â
youâre even more confused now, âit was one night, louis.â
âyou act like there isnât the possibility that iâve known you even before that night, y/n,â he has a smile that comes on his face but it isnât something genuine. itâs annoyed. âyour jerkoff of a boyfriend isnât as secretive about you as you think.â
âheâs not my boyfriend.â
he scoffs, âyou keep saying that.â
âbecause itâs true.â
âdo you know what he says about you?â
âobviously not, louis,â four steps forward, four steps closer. âyou keep speaking of âlabelsâ and whatever, but why donât you just say it. what does he say about me that is so crazy?â
he didnât expect the sudden brief and assertiveness you pull with your movement and words. it knocks him into a slight revelation as all he can do is stare at you and breathing, memorizing this side of you.Â
âdid he say i was a whore?â that was the only possible thing that you could think of at that moment that could be so bad. âhe tell you i was a slut?â
itâs silent. you watch him think and the way he unintentionally avoids your hard stare with the thought process.
âask him yourself.â
**
âhas anyone ever told you you have pretty eyes.â
you feel your face burn upon the comment. everything in your body felt as if was about to burst upon the simple company of louis. even though it had to of been hours since connorâs house, and the diner, and even dropping jake off at his own home, you still felt out of your mind in the best way possible. all of your sense were still high, but your vision was fuzzy and you felt lag in your movement.
how were you still high?
âyou have,â you felt yourself giggle, to which he smiles with a tip of his head, watching you.
âcute,â his fingers rubbed against his mouth in thought before reaching to you. you felt yourself inhale sharply at his sudden movement and hold your breath once they reached their destination; raking through your hair. âhow does he do that to you?â
âwhat?â
ânothing,â he shook his head, still twisting his fingers through soft strands of your hair. you feel yourself relax, watching him and the way he seemed so focused on just you. âyouâre just very pretty, y/n.â
you feel your eyes slightly widen, but his face doesnât shift at all. heâs calm, while you feel your entire body burst once more into heat. youâre itching to move, you canât just sit still in that burning warmth beneath his stare. you feel yourself move, leaning forward on your knees so your lips meet louisâ.
louis smiles against the pressure of your lips against his--he almost forgets to kiss you back because of it.Â
almost.Â
his hands rack up and down the front of your body, lightly pressing into the hold he had around your rib cage, as if willing to crush you beneath his grasp as long as that meant you wouldnât leave. this contact isnât enough even for you. you want to feel him all over and the heavy hands holding your body isnât enough.Â
youâre on his lap now, one of your hands holding the top of his shoulder while the other claps his cheek. louis feels as if his own body is about to burst beneath you... this is all he has wanted, for a while, and now that heâs got it, he feels itâll destroy him. youâre ignorant to his feelings, but you feel just as feverish with your heart thump-thumping within your chest, as if speaking to his.Â
âyour mouth tastes like cherry,â your chest is heaving up and down as you pull away, your wide stare boring into his own eyes with something of delirium.Â
heâs smiling wide, tipping his head back against his seat to see your face better, âso does yours.âÂ
now you smile, âi like you louis.â
he almost groans, rolling his head side to side at the sound of those precious words, âyouâre killing me,â he pulls the sentence straight out of his mouth like it was sarcastic, but he meant it, âsay it again,â he wanted it.Â
âi like you,â you repeat, this time his hand is on your cheek. âplease kiss me.âÂ
oh, jeez.Â
he stares, breathless, âokay.âÂ
***
it was a week after your fallout with louis and you couldnât think about anything other than that. you felt a sudden emptiness and need for something that you barely even had; louis.Â
every little micro interaction you had with him ran through your mind like a record, over and over till you felt you were going to throw yourself off a cliff. and it wasnât just the connor comment--which was something you really, really couldnât stop thinking about--but the seemingly quick liking he had taken to you.Â
it had caught you off guard, but the more you thought about it, the more curious you became as to the whole thing; which was what led you here; connorâs house, on a friday night where he was once again throwing.Â
âwhat have you been saying about me?â you stood in front of him, connor, your vision narrowed as you stared at him, examining him as if his whole existence was strange.Â
âwhat?â his confusion was genuine as this question was rather abrupt and you made no attempt to make introductions.Â
âyou know louis partridge?âÂ
connor looks between you and the people he currently stood with, confusion still reeking his features, âyes..?â
âwhat have you been telling him about me?â
âyou want to talk about this somewhere else?âÂ
âi want a straight answer,â you feel his hand wrap around your bicep, pulling you away from his crowd without an answer from you.Â
âwhich i can give you if you werenât so vague... why are you talking to partridge?âÂ
âyou got a problem?â
the two of you are stopped in front of a boy; jake.Â
âno, man, i think weâre good,â connor pays him no mind, side stepping him fast with you still in grip, continuing to interrogate you. you ignore connor, watching jake the whole way youâre being pulled while he watches you. you feel as if the boy isnât real, like he was someone you had made up when you were high, but there he was, staring just as shocked, but equally skeptical as you were pulled further and further from him.Â
âare you listening to me, y/n?â
âwhat?âÂ
âi asked you what you were on about?â youâre now in an empty corner, secluded away from the rest of the party. âhavenât seen you in days and youâre on a tangent about a boy you barely know, whatâs going on?â
you finally focus on him, barely processing the words he was putting in your ears, but you didnât have to in order to hear the fake sympathy and concern.Â
âhow do you know louis?â
he shurgs, âsee him every time i throw. gotta get to know my usuals.âÂ
âyeah, and how well have you gotten to know him?â
he shakes his head, feeling attacked, âwhy?â
âbecause i think itâs my right to know what youâve been saying about me to him and whoever else,â the seal of your calmness breaks as you extend an arm out, ready to scold him for anything he was about to say.Â
his expression drops in return, knowing any attempt to make you calm and make the situation subtle was out of his hands. connor knew you well enough to know you were too far into your frustration to calm you down.Â
âwhatâre you talking about?â
but that didnât mean he had to comply.Â
âyour new choice in men is obviously not working out for you. even they know iâm the best youâll ever have.âÂ
âwhat?â your head drops forward, taken aback at the sudden escalation connor had taken to his approach in words. âwhat the fuck are you on about?âÂ
he smirks, pushing the red solo cup he had up to his lips, glancing around before looking back down to you, âwhy else do you think he lied to you about whatever it is youâre asking?â
âi canât believe this,â you pinch the bridge of your nose, âpull yourself out of that goddamn lie before you make yourself look even more like a fool. what have you been saying about me?â
âi find it best you donât lie about this one, mate. you have an audience of witnesses,â thereâs a hand on your back and a voice intervening.Â
the two of you focus to louis who suddenly stands behind you, daring connor to push it. the boy looks confounded looking between you, louis, and the crowd of boys behind him. he doesnât know what to do within the corner he had backed himself into.Â
âwhatever, this is my own fucking party. i donât need to do shit,â he shoves past all of you. you all watch him storm away, not looking back, leaving you all to yourselves in the dust.Â
âletâs talk,â louis says immediately the moment you look up to him, nodding off in a random direction.Â
you slowly nod, following him.Â
âi didnât think youâd actually ask him.âÂ
a laugh gets caught in the back of your throat, shaking your head at the ignorance as he opens the passenger door to his car for you, âyeah?â
âyeah,â he slides into his own side of the car. âbut then again, what would i know about you?â
âa lot, apparently. more than i would guess,â you lean your head against the palm of your hand, staring at him carefully. âyou gonna tell me what he said now?â
louis looks hesitant, not even looking at you anymore as he thinks on how to answer. he doesnât want to answer, itâs that simple, but he owes it to you to give you something sense he was the one who told you in the first place.Â
âwhen i met connor, he talked about you a lot. a lot for someone i barely saw. it was like every party he had something new to say or nothing new at all. as long as it was you he was talking about,â he smiles to himself, thinking of all the bragging and praising he had put into you, all for connor to just... âyou were like a prize to him, y/n--until you werenât. he called you easy, but you were his. he said he could walk you like a dog because he was the only guy you thought of.âÂ
you feel rage and annoyance fume in the base of your chest as he speaks. he can see it form in your eyes, take over any look of calmness or subtlety from before. you make a move to push yourself back and out the door but louis is quick to grab your arm, pulling you right back to him, only closer.Â
âhold on there, cowgirl,â your almost in his lap. âyouâre better than that.â
âam i?â youâre squirming, almost pulling from the grasp his grasp if it werenât for how warm he made you feel.
âyeah,â heâs smiling at you. âwhy waste any more of your time with him anyways when you could just be here with me?â
you couldnât help but fall victim to the pulling sensation on your lips to smile at him. you feel that fuzzy feeling creep up into your stomach at his stare like the first time you were both alone in his car and suddenly all your anger at connor melts away.
âonly if you offer me cherry pie.â

pairings. harry bingham x fem!reader
about. reader gets scolded by her friend only for harry to defend her

warnings. swearing
from ricky's mailbox to yours. I don't expect anything from this, I just wanted to post because I miss this damn show
west ham was always ordinarily boring and filled to the brim with people who had their pockets filled with more than enough money to know what to do with.
your life was a repetitive process and ran on a schedule that really never changed unless you chose to eat breakfast for once in your life, which you never really did--or take your mom up on the offer to go on walksâwhich you also really never did.
the day you got off that bus and found no parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or even siblings was a day you couldnât help but sigh in relief with finding a loss of obligations and responsibilities. you felt a lift from your shoulders and a greatness fill your chest as you finally let go and fell from your schedule.
but it wasnât funny and you were no longer having any fun the moment you discovered your situation was permanent and a forest had overgrown all roads and tracks out of this new found nightmare of yours.
âyou think god's trying to teach us a lesson?â you looked up from your book seeing your friend maddie who had her lips pressed into a thin line, still trying to figure out this whole predicament.
even as this was a nightmare and you werenât used to change, you found yourself leaning away from getting caught up in caring so much or getting too emotional about it. you figured you could be in worse situations and at least you were still alive.
âi donât think itâs that deep,â you mumbled carelessly, flipping the page to your book, not sparing another glance to her till she stands up with a huff and grumble, clenching and unclenching her fists while exiting harryâs living room.
but then she felt herself flipping around, facing you and your slightly confused expression, âwhatâs your problem?â
you frowned a little deeper as she stood before you with her poised posture, seeming more angered than you had ever seen her, âwhat?-â you shared a look with harry who seemed just as lost as you did before she cut you off.
âbecause ever since we discovered weâre trapped here it seems like you couldnât give a damn and itâs really pissing me off,â she exhaled roughly with her chest puffing in and out with air, like she had been waiting a long time to say this. âyouâre not here for anyone and i havenât heard you cry once either, y/n.â
âyou want me.. you want me to cry?â you raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback.
âyes, y/n, because iâm really close to thinking youâre a sociopath-â
âwoah, woah, woah, maddieâ harry shook his head with his lips deeply curved downwards, âshut up.â
âdonât tell me to âshut upâ harry.â
âdonât be a cunt, maddie,â he scoffs, looking at her as if she were a fool. his stare is harsh and she even slowly begins to feel like one with how hard and taunting his eyes are.
if harry had a skill in something, it'd be his way of looking down on people and making them feel his disgust and repulsion toward them. harry had to be one of the most arrogant people you had met, but at least his arrogance came in handy in situations where you needed defense.
"whatever, harry," she rolls her eyes at him, trying to push off the sickening feeling he pushed on to her. "you two deserve each other, especially if you're both enjoying this little vacation we were gifted."
harry sits in the grey chair maddie previously sat in, "you okay?"
"yeah, I'm good."
âyou sure?â
you look up to him, finally meeting his dialed in expression that was genuine and curious to your well being.
strange.
it was things like this that gave you somewhat joy that you no longer had a schedule, that kept you from hating your new reality.
west ham turning upside down revealed a lot about your fellow classmates and even best friendâs character, as seen seconds ago. you couldnât decipher whether or not you found joy in the fact of that, but right now, with harry sitting across from you and close to reach out to you, was something you knew you enjoyed.
before, in your tight knit schedule, harry didnât fit in it. he was only a family friend you saw at birthdays and conjoined vacations since the beginning of your memory, but nothing more.
âyeah, iâm sure,â you pressed your lips into a thin line.
âi donât think she understands people handle grief differently,â he looks sympathetic but drops any attempt to move closer with a reach of comfort upon realization that you were really fine.
âyou think iâm in grief?â
he pauses, doesnât look at you for a minute with silence as he narrows his eyebrows before looking up to meet your eyes, âi mean, arenât we all?â
arenât we all?
jesus, maybe you were a sociopath.
âi-uh-â
ây/n,â he stops you, shaking his hand. âwhen-when my father died, i didnât think it was real. all these people came up to me, your parents, all would walk up, apologize, offer their condolences, but i never really understood. what was the big deal?âjust a death, right?â
he offers an awkward smile with a glance through his eyelashes, before looking back to his carpet, âthing was, i didnât realize that that death, was my fathers deathâi mean i did, my body didnât. i was in denial.â
silence. you both think about his words.
the way he spoke was really smart--it surprised you that it was him that they were coming from. not only did you start to enjoy his company, but his words...
âi shouldnât have-â
âno,â you cut him from his potential regret in sharing. you knew that took a lot from him. âmaybe you're right⊠or maybe maddie is. maybe i really am a sociopath.â
"y/n, that's an insane thing to say," he shakes his head, still looking down, but now at his hands as he begins to rub them together. "everyone handles grief differently," he repeats, "especially something like this; especially something that feels nowhere near real."
you stare at harry, blinking, while he stares back at you with a thin-lipped smile. you felt your chest tighten to an extreme as you continued to watch, thinking about his words that tumble around in your head. you somehow couldn't grasp it; the reassurance. but rather... you were more hung up on the matter that it was him saying such kind words to you.
everyone knew harry was the biggest asshole in west ham and he had no shame in it. everyone would call you a liar is you ever exposed the conversation; harry didn't have a nice bone in his body, so how was it that he had just created one of the nicest convos you had ever had with anyone?
your chest pulls into a ball even more. you feel like you can't breathe.
what was happening to you?
you hadn't felt a pang of sadness till now.
"you okay?"
you hate that question.
"yeah, i'm okay."
"you sure?" he's leaning towards you, his eyes prying.
you feel the pressure intensify, but this time around your eyes as if something had the need to be forced out.
fuck, not now.
"y/n, woah," he's quick to come closer to you, now kneeling before you with his hands on your face.
âi shouldnât be crying-â
he shushes you as he tries his best to clear your face from the salty tears that begin to run down your cheeks like a hill. he smiles lightly to your embarrassment while shaking his head, âcrying is fine.â
âi feel bad.â
âfor what?â
âharry, i donât even feel bad about them being gone,â you sniff, wiping your face from the wetness quickly. âi feel bad about you and your father and everything.â
âoh?â he seems caught off guard about this, taking a step back from your distraught stare. âwhy?â
you stare over at him with wide doe eyes, something that looks like fear for the matter of having to provide an explanation. you glance to the side, also leaning away from him, bracing yourself to answer. you feel even more choked up, like your throat had been clogged and stuffed with toilet paper--or whatever it was to help you not speak.
"my parents-" you sniff, wiping your nose with the back of your hand. "god, I hated my parents--so I'm not sorry that I'm not sad about something that is ultimately a blessing... but I am sorry that this has happened to you... all of you."
he stares. he feels as if he's about to explode.
"I'm sorry, harry--that you had to lose your father and your mother as fast as you did," you shake your head, "I'm sorry that you think that that's how I feel about my own parents."
why does he feel like this?
his hand is mid air, reaching to clasp his chest as if consoling his heart, but it doesn't goes as far to make contact.
he feels strange. he doesn't know how to cope with someone he has known for so long revealing what must have been the biggest burden on their shoulders, hidden in plain sight from him, as well as gushing about sympathy for him--he hates that.
as for the other thing; harry had known you since the beginning of time, he knew your parents since the beginning of time. you were both absorbed within the same lifestyle but the two of you were never anything more than acquaintances.
he found it strange that he could see your life so clearly like it was his own, but it seemed that was only the surface of a glass window that only you and your family allowed people to see.
"y/n, you're not a sociopath," he finally says, "sociopaths don't feel sympathy for other people. you're just in a difficult situation that no kid will understand because their parents are their heroes."
he pinches the bridge of his nose, finally looking up to you, "you also shouldn't feel bad for me."
you looked at him confused, urging him to explain.
"none of us are saints, y/n. somehow i think we all deserve this," he runs a hand down the front of his face. "you... you're just somehow better than the rest of us, this is a vacation god has granted you."
you stifle a laugh, shaking your head.
he smiles in return before dropping his face into a softer expression, reaching for your hand, "you good?"
"yeah, i'm good," you nod.
"good," he squeezes your hand. "enjoy heaven while you have it."
oh yuh, update. not much of my opinion changed tbh.
love the conrad angst within the last two episodes, but i feel like they were more entertaining than the whole season.
also steven listening to the diss was my fav scene.
omg, is it that boring? i havenât seen the new season yet but iâve seen a few clips and heard some people talking about it and such. damn, i love both fisher boys as i have two stories for the series. i heard tho that steven and taylor are a couple now, ig?
thereâs cute little moments within the season and some good angsty parts, but i feel it honestly gets no where and the season ending is just mid. last season was better. steven and taylor i think are so cute and the best part of the season.
i think it could just be a filler season type thing to just build up for next season. i also liked jeremiah better last season, this season i just canât stand him.
itâs all personal opinion though đŻđŻ anyways
EDIT: i also havenât watched the 7th episode yet, i thought #6 was the last episode đđ

OMGG UR FINALLY BACK đđđ
