AN: A sad little Jamesber drabble to kick off my return. Thank you for submitting a request! And apologies for it being what four years late?

How many times had they lived through this exact scene? Was it four, five times? How many times had his embrace left her shivering stead of warming her as it once did? Too many times for it to still affect her like this.

Amber watched as James walked solemnly throughout the apartment, collecting the things that were technically his but had made the place theirs. He didn’t even spare a glance in her direction.

It always ended up like this, they always ended up like this. Two strangers with too much history between them living under the same roof. It was exhausting, to say the least. She was tired of it, tired of him walking in and out of her when he felt like it. There were too many hellos and far too many good-byes for her to be okay with it.

Thank you so much for the support and I’m sorry this response comes so late!! But!!! As of right now I don’t have a master list but I’l definitely add that to my list of things to do. But for now if you want to look through my fics you can always read them here. Thank you for your support I hope this helps while I get the master list up!

Amber couldn’t wait to dig into the strawberry patbingsu she had just bought. She’d been craving some the whole week, and now that it was Friday she had decided to reward herself with the frozen treat. As soon as the waiter set the large bowl in front of her, her mouth started to water. But it looked so pretty and delicious she knew he had to share it on Instagram so that all of her friends and fans could be jealous.

Quickly pulling out her phone she prepared to snap the picture only to see someone stab the ice cream a couple of times, mixing the ingredients together and effectively making it lose its attractiveness. Her jaw dropped before she quickly jerked her face up to see the grinning face of the culprit.

“You’re supposed to mix it up” the other replied and let himself sit across from her. Without waiting for her to respond he shoved a large amount of ice cream into his mouth. Amber finally snapped out of her shock and glared at the other.

“Hey!” she protested.

“Oh yeah never said hi huh?”

Amber felt her jaw drop once more, really? He was going to play stupid? How could he just ruin her next post, ruin her mood and steal her ice cream?! Oh no she wasn’t going to put up with that, just who did Scott think he was? She was about to protest again but Scott lifted a hand up to silence her.

“Relax, you’re supposed to share these you know. I mean you don’t wanna get fat right?”

Clenching her jaw and her fist, Amber glared at him for a bit before finally speaking through her teeth. “Fuck. You.”   

Instantly a bright grin took over the other’s features, and he leaned forward so that he was closer to her before giving her a playful wink.

“It’s too cold!”

“Stop being such a baby, that’s why we have gloves.”

“You have gloves! I don’t!”

A deep sigh escaped Amber as she watched Eric flail his armsaround the cold winter air. Around them the trees were filled with heaps ofcrisp white snow that glittered when the sunlight them at the right angle.Wordlessly she slipped off a glove and tossed them toward him, effectivelyhitting him with it right in the face. “Here, we are building a snowman todayso let’s get to it.” She replied a grin slowly forming on her face.

He blinked slowly as the glove slipped from his face beforestumbling a bit to catch it before slipping it on. “One hand? How is that goingto work?” Stuffing her gloveless hand into her pocket she grinned happily athim before proudly proclaiming “Team work, of course. You use one hand, I’lluse the other.” “You do realize that will take forever right?” he repliedimitating her movements and slipping his hand into his coat pocket.  “Youdo realize it’s your fault right?” she replied dropping to her knees to startmolding a large snow ball.

Finally he let out a defeated sigh before dropping downbeside her, moving to help her with his gloved hand. “So how big are we goingto make this?” he asked as he shoveled the snow around them so she could addthem to the growing sphere. “We’re going to make the biggest snow man ever.”

After hours of pushing around snow balls Amber grinned restingher hands on her hips while she stared up at the snow man that towered a good 3feet above their heads. “Great…we’re done…” she heard Eric pant out next toher. “Not yet.” Amber muttered out clearly enjoying how everything was workingout.  “Oh great…”

“Give me a boost yeah?” she asked happily, causing him togape at her getting ready to reject the idea, but instantly decided against it.And after a few moments of struggling Amber was sitting on Eric’s shoulderswhile he wobbled around the snow doing his best to get her close enough to thesnowman without falling on it.

“Nam! Closer!” She huffed out as she just missed wrapping athin blanket around the snowman’s neck. “Fine!” he grunted back, but the snowsuddenly gave out underneath him making her crash against the snowman. Luckilyfor them the snowman was sturdy enough for her to stay clinging to it withoutit shaking. Eric however hadn’t been as lucky as he has slipped and fallen facefirst into the snow.

Pushing himself off the floor he groaned and rubbed the snowoff his face. “Man…” He was just getting up when he heard a soft yell, anddidn’t have time to react when he was being pushed back into the snow, thistime on his back.

Opening her eyes Amber met Eric’s wide open ones onlycentimeters away from hers. Suddenly Amber burst out laughing instinctivelyburying her face into his neck as uncontrollable laughter spread through her.Her laughter must have been infectious because soon Eric was laughing just asmuch as she was his arms loosely wrapping around her waist. In between laughsshe spoke “You should have seen your face!!!” Replying through laughs as wellhe spoke “My face?! You should have seen yours!” After a few more moments theirlaughing slowly died down. 

“Thanks for coming with me Eric.”

“Any time Am.”

Finally rolling off him Amber stayed laying down beside him,looking up at the towering snowman in front of them, before rolling onto herside to grin at him.

“Wanna make another one?”

“Uh, yeah, no. How about we go get some hot chocolate instead?”

Hello everyone! I am the new admin, you can just call me Admin Stitch. I will be helping Admin TJ around here as much as I can. I just posted the first of, hopefully, many drabbles to come!

I will work hard along side Admin TJ to bring you all many wonderful Anyber Scenarios. Please watch over me :)

A/N: Hello New Admin Stitch here! I will introduce myself on a different post, but I hope this was close to what you wanted anon.

“Amberplease you need to help me! You are my best friend and you are a girl. Who elseam I supposed to ask? Come on what would it cost you?”

Rolling hereyes, Amber watched Henry unamused. This was supposed to be a fun day with herbest friend getting some boba and just goofing off. Of course she was justasking for too much. She should have known he was going to do this again, notthat the first twenty times she said no made a difference, “Seriously Henry?Have we not gone through this already? I don’t have any advice for you. Just dowhatever you want. You are the one that likes this girl, so shouldn’t youfigure it out?”

The puppydog eyes are put for display as Henry leans in closer to her with his bottomlip putted out, “Please, I don’t want to mess this up with her. She deservesthe best and if I just do it you know I am just going to mess it up. How aboutit, hu? Will you help your poor ol’ friend catch the woman of his dreams?”

Looking atthe boba swirling at the bottom of her milk tea, Amber takes a sip hoping thatshe could simply choke on one of the gummy black balls. She wasn’t so lucky.Running a hand through her hair she refuses to look at him anymore for she knewif she looked into his eyes one more time she would give in, she was weak whenit concerned Henry.

“Come onlittle dove, please”

Wide eyedshe looks up at Henry surprised by the nickname and the warm honey eyes staringback at her. The only person that called her that was Luna and that began justabout a month ago when she found out about the little crush she had for Henry.Something about being innocent and adorable when it pertained to Henry.

Shakingslightly in her seat she chuckles nervously and stands up taking her boba withher, “Yeah I’ll text you later. I have to go.” Making a dash for the door shemakes her escape not being able to believe that she was going to be the sourcefor Henry to get some girl. She really was doomed.

After a weekof Henry’s constant begging for the list she had promised, she finally caved andgave him the last piece of her heart. Handing it over with a few ideas andsure-fire ways to win any girls’ heart.  Then, nothing. Not another word from him, justradio silence.

“Should haveseen that coming, huh?” Amber shook her head pulling her hat off and messing withher hair. Sighing she threw herself down on the couch. Closing her eyes shestill muttered words of encouragement to both herself and to the lucky girlthat Henry had been courting. Despite her broken heart, she was still hisfriend.  It must have been going reallywell if he didn’t even have the time to respond to her text messages.

~baby, baby, baby oooh~

Henry’spersonal ringtone rings across the room making her heart beat in double time.Taking a deep breath she closes her eyes for a second trying to control herracing heart. Relax Amber. It is just himthanking you and to tell you how well your suggestions worked on his newgirlfriend. Groaning slightly at her own thought process she finally opensthe text message, but all it reads is an address and the words {see you therein twenty}.

Notcompletely understanding what was going on she looks up the address, mostly outof curiosity, just to find out it’s a local park. Fighting an internal battlewith herself, she runs a hand through her hair, wondering if she should in factgo and meet him. Staring at her phone she sits there hoping that an answer willcome to her. Growling she stands up and goes into her room changing intosomething that was not sweatpants.

Deemingherself ready she grabs her wallet, keys, and cellphone locking the door to herhome and heading to the park. Dragging her feet the entire way she keeps seeingthat beautiful girl with long hair and the perfect Coca-Cola bottle bodywaiting on Henrys’ arm. Her face shifting to every girl Henry had ever said washot or sexy in front of her.

“Amber!”

Searchingfor the source of the person calling her name, she sees Henry waving his armsover his head with a bright smile. Chuckling at his antics she shakes her headmaking her way over to him. “Hey,” Amber smiles softly at the other keeping herhands in her pockets.

“Hey I’mglad you came. So you ready?” Raising her eyebrows at his questions, “Ready? Forwhat?” Hoping that her nightmare was not about to come true and that he wasgoing to introduce his girlfriend to her she finds herself under Henry’s armwith her hair being ruffled after pulling her cap off, “Aigoo! Always thejokester now aren’t we? Come on I want to get some cotton candy!”

Pushing himaway, Amber growls under her breath taking her hat back from his grasp, “Whatare you talking about? Are you crazy?” Slipping her hat back on, she raises aneyebrow at him waiting for a response.

Henry simplyslips an arm around her shoulder and pulls her along with him “The carnival isthis way. Did you already forget about our date?” Her eyes widen at his words, date? Trying to think back as to whenshe had agreed to go on a date with him, not that she was complaining, shecomes up blank. Maybe he was confused, right?

As the nightprogressed she began to relax more, for no one had come to join them. Thepretty girl with the long hair and Coca-Cola bottle body never appeared. Andthis date she was on was not so bad.

Smiling toherself she hadn’t even realized Henry had left her side. Walking around lostin her thoughts she is stopped when her friend Luna comes out of nowhere handingher a bouquet of flowers, “Hu, Luna? What are you doing her? What is this for?”

Without aword Luna just laughs before waving and taking off into the crowd. Scrunchingher nose up in confusion she laughs, “Isn’t she acting weird Henry?” Lookingover she finally realizes that he is not beside her. Calling for him she looksaround only she can’t seem to find him. Growling under her breath she begins tolook for a way out pissed to just have been left alone without a word withflowers in hand. As she is passing by the cotton candy stand her phone goes off.Seeing Luna’s name she answers it immediately, “Hey Luna. Where are you? Henryfrickin ditched me, so I’m by myself at this stupid carnival. Also what is upwith the flowers?”

A chuckle isher response, “Read the note Amber” and the resounding click.

“Wah? Note?What note? Yah Luna!” Frustrated she looks around trying to find a note,digging through her pockets wondering if she put something inside them, thereis still nothing to be found. Growing more and more frustrated with thesituation she finally gets a proper look at the flowers that Luna had handedher. Seeing a folded paper nestled between the flowers she takes it opening itup to find a list with things to do.

1.    Eat cotton candy

2.    Play the water shooting game

3.    Ride the Ferris Wheel

Must be done in this exact order.

-Your Secret Admirer

Confusedeven more she shakes her head and stuffs the paper in her back pocket. What wasexactly going on? With a sigh she swallows her pride and walks over to thecotton candy vendor. Moving to pay for the cotton candy shaped heart the man behindthe cart shakes his head telling her it has already been taken care of.

Must be the person from the note. With a shrug she begins to munch onthe cotton candy as she moves on to the water shooting game, thankfully therewas only one. Walking over she sits down placing the flowers and cotton candytogether. Smiling awkwardly at the girl behind the counter.

“Oh! Is ittime? Are you Amber?” Confused as to how the girl knows her she nods inaffirmation, “Yeah I am, um how do you know me?” The young girl just shakes herhead and gestures to the water gun, “No reason please go ahead and play. Thegame has already been paid for”

All the moreconfused by the situation she sighs and shoots at the target hoping to get outof there. This was getting ridiculous. Why was she even following the stupidnote anyways? And where had Henry run off to? Angry at the possibility that hehad left her to see his new girlfriend she glares at the target and issurprised when the bell dings announcing her win.

“Here youare! You are one lucky girl Amber” With a wink the young girl hands her a giantstuffed bear with a note attached to its chest. Taking the bear she looks atthe girl, “What do you mean? Shouldn’t the prize be a lot smaller? I don’t knowlike a beany baby or something.”

The younggirl shrugs with a giggle as she moves on to help the next round of people.Amber looks at the bear once more and reads the small note: I’ll see you by the Ferris Wheel.

Looks likeher secret admirer struck once more. Struggling to carry everything with hershe puts the cotton candy in between the flowers and the flowers in one hand asshe wraps both arms around the giant bear. Happy when she finally arrives atthe Ferris Wheel she hears someone chuckle before lifting the bear away from her,“Sorry I guess I didn’t calculate how much I was giving you”

As the bearis being set down she sees Henry behind it, “Henry? What the hell?” Hitting himwith a glare she crosses her arms with difficulty since the flowers are stillin her hand, “Idiot, where did you run off to?”

Henry doesnothing more, but smile and rub the sore spot on his arm where Amber had hithim. Shaking his head he gestures to the Ferris Wheel, “Come on, this is thebest part.” Taking her arm he pulls her onto the bench for the Ferris Wheel,“Yah! You didn’t answer my question!”

Once moreHenry does nothing more, but chuckle while putting an arm around her shoulders,“All will be answered in due time. Just trust me”

Looking awayfrom him as he pulls her closer to him she looks out into the distance holdingonto the flowers for some form of support. After getting off the ride shequickly moves away from his arms breathing in some fresh air. Anything to justcall her raising heart. Stop it Amber!

Beratingherself she finally turns around to face Henry and tell him goodbye knowingthat she can’t be around him much longer without her feelings being put ondisplay for the whole world to see, but instead she finds Henry much closerthan anticipated. Taking a step back, Henry wraps an arm around her waist andsmiles softly, “Did you finally figure it out? I did what you told me to do”

There it wasthe moment she was dreading. Pulling away from his arms she tries to keep astraight face and hide the fact that she is shaking, “Oh did you? She said yesI’m guessing cause why wouldn’t she right? Well I’m happy for you Henry, but Ireally need to go. I-I have things to do, so I’ll see you later.”

Taking offacross the carnival and towards the exit she can hear Henry calling after her.Shaking her head she runs even faster just trying to get away from thisnightmare. Although she knew this was coming she just did not want to face thereality of the situation.

“Amberstop!” Henry finally catches up to her and he pulls her to a stop and turningher to face him, “I did what you told me to do to you! I like you Amber!”

Wide eyedshe looks at Henry and shakes her head trying once more to get out of his armswith little success, “Stop it Henry, don’t play with me. I don’t know who toldyou or if you found out about my crush on you, but this is sick. Just let me goand get back to your new girlfriend that you were too busy to text me thisentire week for.”

“Amber!”still struggling to get away from him Amber is surprised when Henry’s lips arepressed against her own. Slowly relaxing under his lips, she kisses him backfor what felt like an eternity. As they pull back from each other Henry smilessoftly at Amber kissing her forehead, “Now who is the idiot? Don’t you rememberwhat you told me? Be their friend. Get them their favorite flowers and candy ifyou can. Surprise her with something she would never expect. End the night withsomething sweet and calm”

Slowly itall starts to make sense to her. Everything that had happened today. Theflowers, the cotton candy, the giant teddy, and even the Ferris Wheel. Lookingat Henry as he continues to hold her face in his hands, “Oh”.
