✿ for a confession from my muse to yours

Although their relationship is definitely back on track now, AJ’s confession is that sometimes she feels like she won’t be enough to make Bryce stay -- that he’ll get itchy feet and want to move on from California, especially when he says that he doesn’t feel like he has much of a support system here. AJ doesn’t doubt that Bryce loves her but based on the things that he’s said in their recent arguments, there is definitely a part of her that’s scared that it won’t be enough.

♡ for a drabble about what made my muse realize they’re in love with yours

AJ was self-aware enough to know that she was falling for Bryce but she spent a lot of time steadfastly ignoring that as it was honestly rather terrifying for her -- between her own attachment and rejection issues and Bryce’s, she had been fully aware that the situation could end up breaking her heart. Despite knowing this, she felt powerless to do anything to protect herself against possible heartbreak because there was nothing that she wanted more than seeing Bryce, talking to Bryce, being around him... he had quickly become the person that she most liked seeing. 

The moment that she realised that she loved him wasn’t some huge thing; it was a night that Bryce probably didn’t even really remember. It was a Tuesday and she was supposed to have gone to his place for dinner and a movie but had been called into work at the theatre at the last minute. She hadn’t wanted to take the extra shift as she would much rather be with Bryce but she really needed the money; and as always, Bryce was incredibly understanding of the fact that she needed a rain check. 

By the time she finished work, she was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to go home, fall into bed and sleep for at least 12 hours. There had been more than one rude customer that shift, her uniform was stained with a combination of the popcorn butter and nacho cheese (courtesy of a clumsy trainee staff member, with AJ knowing that cleaning the stains would be a small nightmare), and her feet were actually aching. She hadn’t asked Bryce to come and pick her up but she walked outside and there he was, sitting in his truck, the heat already on. He had even grabbed her a burrito and had somehow sweettalked the staff at Cuchillos into putting a frozen margarita into one of their takeaway coffee cups. The thoughtfulness and the sweet gesture had nearly made her cry and in that moment, she knew that she was a goner: she was head over heels in love with Bryce Cortez, even if it did take her a while longer to actually verbalise it.
