            non-sexual intimacy .         |             (  accepting. )

                                           they were MARRIED.               what?

         how did they even GET here?   how did a simple pact that every single kid makes with their closest friend actually turn out to be something they’d DO? there wasn’t ever really a part of her that thought it would turn into anything , even if david was someone she knew she could trust with her heart.  and yet - here they were , in her apartment , almost a week after they said i do.

         a HONEYMOON was out of the question - at least for now.  david had CAMP CAMPBELL coming up in just a few days  (  a camp wedding wouldn’t have been the BEST idea , but it was still warm and beautiful outside for them to hold a ceremony   )  and the time to rest up was NOW.   especially considering he would be going back with a RING on his finger ,  and the kids would freak out once they noticed.  that’s how she found herself absentmindedly running her fingers through his hair ,  his head resting in her lap as he slept.  it wasn’t on  PURPOSE , and she would make sure to wake him up so he could get back home , but it felt … nice , to have him there.  

           as her eyes travelled down to glance at him , she couldn’t help the soft smile.

       donut had that SOMETHING.  whenever you were around him , it felt like all of the worries in the world just floated away as if they never existed.  he brought this sense of HAPPINESS into people’s lives  +  it seemed like he didn’t even realize it. the thought of LOSING HIM , even in hypothetical , made her heart stop beating.  even with his joking grin , she couldn’t help but give him a soft smile.

         it had only been a MONTH since nino had come to visit ,   meaning it had been a month since their relationship went from platonic pen pals to teenage romance across an ocean.  not that she was complaining, it just… didn’t feel RIGHT without him there.  but talk of their someday would have to be enough to tide the both of them over.   at least it brought out her genuine smile.

            she stopped DEAD in her tracks.  the heat of his hand on hers that was once unbearable cooled into a warmth that spread through her veins.  amélie didn’t WANT this.  she didn’t want the pounding of her heart to echo into the city ,  or any other cliché.   all she wanted was to go to support group and then go HOME.  but nino quincampoix had to have a different idea than her.

           he was the closest thing she had to an … acquaintance.  she kept her distance , not wanting to accept the fact she was feeling something ENTIRELY NEW.  something she was taught she could never feel.  amélie had done a good job too;   the most they ever saw each other was during support group.  this went on for MONTHS.   and he just had to change everything, asking her why she never spoke in support group.  being invisible is safe.   she TRIED to avoid him continuing the topic further.  god , she TRIED.   but his hand touched hers and he said that and her entire body felt like it was on FIRE , but … it still felt safe.

                                                   then the beat passed.

        it was as EVERY SATURDAY was for them;   it somehow became a bit of a tradition ever since he had shown back up into her life on a saturday morning.  coffee + a muffin for both of them , and just a moment to relax and talk , especially if they hadn’t seen much of each other that week  (  not likely , considering they were still making up for LOST TIME  ).  and this day seemed to hold no break in their routine schedule , having spent at least fifteen minutes in the café already. 

        however , the simplicity of the morning soon went another direction as wash’s phone went off ,  signaling something WORK related that needed to be taken care of right then.   an apology spilled from his mouth which amélie quickly deflected ,  knowing he couldn’t HELP the fact.  she remained in her seat as he gathered his things , and with a quick promise to see her later , he was supposed to just walk out the door.  but when his lips pressed against her cheek in a hurry , her entire face FLUSHED.  quickly swiveling around in her chair ( attempting to be discreet and failing miserably ) ,  she watched as he walked out of the café without a second glance back. 

       she couldn’t PLACE it.  her heart rate skyrocketed ,  pounding as if it was going to BURST.   she couldn’t feel the tips of her ears ,  and the spot where his lips touched tingled in a way that she hadn’t felt before.  palms instantly sweaty with wide eyes to match her red face , she searched for a reason as to WHY it affected her that much. and then -      it hit her.

‘     no ,   you’re NOT.     ‘

amélie poulain did not have friends.  she was taught that she would be forever alone in this world ,  no matter how HARD she tried to reach the shore.  not even ten years old + she believed that she would never make any connections with other people. this made moving to an entirely different country after her mother’s death was surprisingly EASY.  when you don’t have any friends to say goodbye to , it means you have no ties.  she decided to make a PROMISE to herself: to keep to the walls + refuse to make ties with other people so she could move BACK without any guilt.  but some small kid with a rock and roll dream came along and changed the game.

it just so happened that the world had a different plan for her than she did.

dewey finn was a lot of things: talented, blunt, sarcastic, funny.  but if there was anything that he wasn’t? it was a loser.  to hear him have to say it OUT LOUD made her heart ache in a way she wasn’t used to;  all she wanted was to make sure he never felt like he was less than when in reality, he was so much more than them all. yeah, maybe she didn’t have friends.  but she had a BEST FRIEND , who needs to know that he isn’t what others say he is.  and like a train ,  an old mantra she used to tell herself hit her.

          it wasn’t normal for for amélie to feel so NERVOUS somewhere that felt so similar to HOME ,   but it was her first day that , thankfully , was coming to a close.   the diner’s crowd had died down enough for her to take her time cleaning up the counter , finding a steady rhythm to calm her heart rate.   out of the corner of her eye , she spotted one of jenna’s MASTER creations , a pie that could really put all to shame.   the corner of her lips turned up at the sight.    ‘   you are really talented, jenna.    ‘   the words were soft spoken , almost as if she didn’t want her to hear them at all.
