Brandon licks his teeth and walks towards you at a tauntingly slow pace. Your breathing is out of control, not to mention your heart!
"Hey, Bran-Brandon," you stutter and clear your throat. "What's, um- What's happening?" You chuckle awkwardly.
"Now, what's an innocent little thing like you doing in a store like this," he smirks.
"Shut up," you whisper, checking to make sure no one else was there. "You can't say shit!"
"Shit," his smirk grows.
"You know what I mean!" You hiss. "Please," you beg. "Brandon, this has to stay a secret."
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, y/n. But I'll keep your dirty little secret," he whispers in your ear.
You rush to the register and check out your items, practically running out of the store when you notice Arny's back coming towards you with Brandon smirking in front of him.
You accidentally bump into a wall, or human, and look up to see Will.
"Hey, sorry. I'll watch where I'm going next time," you say and clear your throat.
You walk away quickly and hide in an empty hallway.
He'll think I'm a freak. He was in there too... But still... You think to yourself. And he was there. Of all people.
You can't help but cry, feeling absolutely overwhelmed. Your breath is short as you choke out a sob.
Why am I crying? Why do I care? What is wrong with me?!
"What do you mean? Where is she?" You hear his voice.
You quickly wipe your face and compose yourself. You need to stop doing this public, you think to yourself.
"Hey, Will said you were over here. Is everything okay?" Arny asks.
"Yep," you lie with a smile. "What'd you buy?"
"Uh, just some stuff," Arny says with a light blush.
You giggle and pull him along to a book store where you both split off. He sticks to a manga section whereas you head into the novels.
"Why is he so fond of you?" You hear someone ask behind you.
"Who's fond of who?" You turn to face Danny.
"Don't play dumb. Arny is absolutely infatuated with you, but you're just like every other girl. When you break his heart, I'll be the first to break yours," Danny warns.
"I won't hurt him, Danny. He's my friend," you say feeling your heart cringe at that last word.
You haven't known him long, but you want more from him. You can see a future with him. Something promising.
"We'll see," Danny says walking away.
When you leave the mall, you think you're heading home until you pull up to a bar.
"Um, I'm only 19. Are they going to let me in?" You ask.
"I'm friends with the owner. Relax," Brandon says slumping his arm over your shoulders.
"Okay..."

"I'm fine!" You push Arny away as you climb onto the mechanical bull. "This shit's gonna be easy peasy!" You slur out.
This was new to the bar, and they only have it on Saturdays. Unfortunately, the guys brought you out on the one night you probably should have stayed home reading or probably masturbating with your new toys. However, this is where you landed. In a bar. About to ride a bull. WHY?!
"WHOOP!" You yell out as you thrash around until you're thrown off. You giggle as Arny and Brandon rush over to check on you. "I wanna go again!"
"You're such a lightweight," Arny shakes his head.
"You're such a cutie; maybe that's why I like you so much," you hiccup and pull him in for a kiss.
He's caught off guard but pulls away, wanting you to be sober when you confess these things.
"You've had enough for one night," Arny sighs.
"Don't you like me?" You pout. "I'm smart and funny and very kind. I like you a lot."
"I do, and you are, love. I just want you to remember what I decide when I confess," he smiles and kisses your temple.
"I want tequila," you frown. "Uh-oh. You're spinning," you giggle. "Goodnight."
"Holy fuck," Arny curses as he catches you. "Precious princess."
He kisses your forehead and lifts you into his arms, carrying you to the car.
"How far do you plan to let this go on?" Danny asks on the ride home.
"Don't start, Danny. Please," Arny says as he stops to drop off Will and Brandon.
"He's right, Arny. What if she's just using you? She probably just wants you for clout or something!" Will defends Danny.
"She doesn't even have social media," Brandon rolls his eyes. "I searched her up on everything."
"Someone needs to move," you grumble drunkenly.
Brandon rushes out of the car and holds your hair back as you throw up.
"Tanks, bub. Boop," you giggle, tapping Brandon's nose before passing out again.
"She's gonna hurt you, Arny. Then we'll have to hurt her," Danny sighs after a quiet ride. "Just be careful."
Arny kicks his door shut as he carries you into his apartment. His friends' concerns were swirling in his head.
He changes you into a large shirt of his and throws your clothes into the laundry.
"What are your intentions, love?" Arny asks your sleeping figure, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. "You give me feelings that terrify me."
