The room was filled with soft music, the smell of freshly applied perfume and dim, cozy lighting. The two of you were getting ready to head out with the rest of your friends to a party. Or, well, at least you were. Ethan was sat on your bed playing a mobile game, since all he really had to do was get dressed. Sometimes you envied him for not having to put in a lot of effort to look good, but then again, you did like the entire process of getting ready to go out.
You rummaged around your makeup bag, somehow not being able to find your favorite lip gloss, before you remembered you’d let Tara borrow it. You decide to look for something else, until your fingers came across a lipstick you hadn’t touched in forever. It was a gorgeous dark red, and you vividly remember begging your mom to get it for you when you were just a teenager. The memory brought a smile to your lips as the pads of your fingers touched the luxurious packaging.
You looked back into the mirror and took off the cap, twisting the lipstick up and gently applying it to your lips. The texture was smooth, creamy, the color resembling a deep, almost blood-like shade of scarlet red. It worked so well with your skin tone and your features, you wondered why you hadn’t touched it in so long.
You ran it across your bottom lip, twisting the lipstick back down again and putting it away before you rubbed your lips together, releasing with an audible ‘pop’. You admired yourself in the mirror, before a pair of familiar hands distracted you.
Ethan hummed softly, hands finding their place on your hips as he pressed a gentle kiss to your neck. “Hmm… You almost done? I’m getting lonely just sitting on your bed…”
You turn around to face him, hands sneaking up his chest and settling on his shoulders as your back bumped against the sink. “You’re so impatient…”
He leaned his head down to rest his forehead against yours, thumbs gently running circles over your hips. “Can you blame me?” He leaned further down to press a soft kiss to your lips. “Hm… You look so pretty…” He smiled against your lips. Funny he was saying that right when he had his eyes closed to kiss you.
You returned the kiss, body relaxing under his touch. Of course he always thought you looked gorgeous, often sneaking glances at you even if you two weren’t talking, and complimenting you any chance he’d get. But seeing you all dolled up like this, it truly brought something out in him. And when you’d put on that fancy perfume, he’d always be all over you by the end of the night.
You pulled away and held his face, eyes widening just a little at the slight red stain on his lips. Now you remembered why you didn’t wear this lipstick that much again, it was not transfer proof whatsoever. But that just gave you an idea...
You smiled gently and placed another kiss on the corner of his mouth. A perfect kiss mark adorned his face, and he had no idea. “Hm... We have some time before we have to head out, right?”
“Wh... Oh, uh, yeah... I think so.” He always got so into kissing you, he sounded a little out of it afterwards. “Why?”
“No reason in particular, just wanna spend some alone time with my boyfriend.” You grinned, having to hold back a giggle at the sight of your lips marked onto his skin. You took his hand and guided him back to the bed, getting on his lap when he sat down, straddling his hips. Your dress hiked up just enough to expose your thighs, those gorgeous thighs he could never get enough of. Even now, his hands gravitated towards them, settling gently on the soft flesh.
You leaned in again, one hand sliding into his curly hair, gently scratching his scalp as you peppered gentle kisses over his cheek, before moving onto his jaw. “You’re so pretty...” You mumbled against his skin. You felt Ethan’s hands grip your thighs just a little harder, his hips shifting slightly at your words. He was so easily influenced by you, like your presence alone excited him.
You dipped down to his neck, his breath getting caught in his throat when you kissed the sensitive skin below his jaw. His hands started moving back and forth, softly rubbing, almost massaging your thighs.
“My pretty boy...” He could practically hear the smile on your lips when you whispered into his ear, shivering when you nipped at his earbud. The kisses on his neck got more intense, and he responded well to them, making sweet noises as reward for your efforts. He spoke your name softly, almost as a warning, as if to say “if we keep going, I’m going to have a problem”.
You pulled away, looking at him and feeling satisfied with the masterpiece you’d created on his face. He was a little flustered, pink cheeks decorated with deep red marks of your affection. Your lipstick was perfectly intact, but anyone else looking at him would quickly realize what you two had been up to before.
You were rudely interrupted by a loud notification on your phone, startling you both.
[chad]: r u guys coming or are u too busy fucking?
[mindy]: please don’t be fucking rn
[chad]: they’re def fucking
[tara]: U GUYSSS just get down here already it’s cold :’(((
You smiled at the screen and texted back a quick “omw!” before tossing your phone to the side.
“Alright, we should head out. The others are getting cold waiting for us downstairs.” You pressed a final kiss to his cheek before getting off his lap. Ethan’s hands remained in place for a moment, ghosting over where your thighs had just been, not fully registering your words yet.
“Right! Right, we should uh... Yeah.” He adjusted himself a little and grabbed his jacket as you put on your heels.
You were already downstairs, waiting with the rest as you were trying to defend your case of not having sex with your boyfriend right before you were going out.
“Right, what else would have been taking you two so long?” Anika rolls her eyes and teasingly bumps her hip against yours.
“I’m telling you, I seriously couldn’t find my phone!” You giggled.
“Alright, alright, let’s just hope he hurries up so we can actually go.” Mindy said, hands rubbing her own arms to keep herself warm a bit. “I love your lipstick by the way, I’ve never seen you wear it before.”
You smile at her compliment, and right as you wanted to respond, the sound of the front door opening interrupted you. Everyone turned to look at Ethan walking outside, a smile on his face as he waved.
“Hi! Sorry it took so long, I seriously couldn’t find my keys.” His smile faded a bit when he noticed everyone was staring at him. You felt your own cheeks heat up at the sight of his kiss marked face. In the heat of the moment, you’d completely forgotten to tell him to take it off, and now your alibi for what you were up to earlier was totally ruined.
“Are... You guys okay? Do I have something on my face?” Ethan questioned, oblivious as usual. Chad broke out in laughter at those words, and the rest followed soon after as you brought your hands up to cover your embarrassed face.
“Oh, man! You guys suck at lying!” Chad says between fits of laughter.
Ethan opens the camera on his phone and his eyes widen at the sight. “S-Shit, I didn’t realize your lipstick rubbed off on me like that.”
Tara and Anika had already snapped multiple pictures of Ethan’s face, so there was no way either of you were ever going to live this one down.
“Alright, alright, very funny, haha.” You try to interrupt. “You might wanna go wash that off babe.” You look at Ethan, and he nods with a bit of a nervous smile.
“I don’t know girl, I think it’s a look!” Tara comments, and they all laugh again.
You rolled your eyes, but secretly, you agreed.
That picture Anika took of Ethan became your lock screen soon after.

cw: this is cheesy 😷, simp jack and one sided feelings
“my dream girl is y/n she’s perfect.” jack said to the women who was hosting the interview, you and the host laughed a little and you nudged him playfully. “your turn. who’s your dream man?” jack turned to you and smiled he eagerly awaited your answer. “jack champion.” you winked looking directly at the camera, he knew you said that for fan service but that didn’t stop his heart from pounding so hard.
in almost every interview you flirt and tease him and yeah maybe it was for the fans but he couldn’t help but imagine what it’d be like to kiss you. he’s kissed you many times before but that was for the show surrounded by cameras, he wanted to kiss you for real. “my manger thinks it’d be good if i posted a tiktok and you were in the background- so fans will talk.” he’s automatically snapped out of his daydreams when he hears your voice. “yeah,cool.” he nodded. “did you see that we were trending yesterday?” you show him your phone screen and his face lights up when he sees the hollywood fix report that you two are supposedly dating. “well we do look really good together.” he drags out the word really. “we are definitely getting another season.”
a couple of months past and promotion for the show ended but that didn’t stop the fans from shipping you two and making edits. he couldn’t stop thinking of you, he couldn’t even escape you in his dreams. after a long talk he had with himself in the shower he was finally ready to confess his feeling, he hyped himself up for hours before he sent you a text.
jack jack: can we talk? I need to get something off my chest and i really need to talk to you.
jack jack: just promise you won’t look at me differently.
you: yes ofc why don’t you come over?? im home alone so im all yours ❤️
he got there thirty minutes later in his sweatpants and he still looked handsome, you welcomed him in. “i missed you.” you hug him and he hugs you back tighter than usual. he felt like putty in your hands. “i missed you. you look- great.” he pulled away. you and jack walk over to your couch and he sits down. “how are you? do you want something to drink or to eat? you know im always looking for an excuse to cook for you.” you grinned placing your hand on his. “no im good i just want to tell you something before i chicken out.” his eyes softened. “im all ears jack.”
you reassured him by patting his head a habit he knew you picked up from childhood and by the looks of your lipstick choice it would seem you have somewhere to be….. god he was feeling creepy and a slightly pathetic. “ever since we did that chemistry read i was drawn to you, at first i thought it was just admiration but it’s l- it’s love.” he looked deep into your eyes and you didn’t really get what he was trying to say. “oh jack cmon you know i love you.” you just smiled blissfully unaware he was confessing his undying love for you. “your not getting- i’m in love with you… romantically.” your smiled faded.
“oh jack.” you exhale and his face dropped this wasn’t the reaction he was expecting. “i just couldn’t move on without telling you how i felt.” he watched your face have a mixed expression he thought he knew all your expressions. “i really appreciate you telling me because your a sweet boy and if you would’ve told me months ago- i think i would’ve kissed you.” you frown. he felt his heart break open into a million pieces. “i- im sorry.” he gets off the couch and bolts for the door trying not to let you see him cry. “jack don’t go.” you watched his dash away.
great. now filming for season 2 is gonna be awkward as hell. “fuck” you wanted to scream.
can u make some headcanons of what jack (champion) would be like in a relationship? thank u so much ml 🫶🫶
thx you for your request ❤️ i hope you like my headcannons <33
my jack champion headcanons:
jacks the one to make the first move (he asked you out.)
he’s the type of boyfriend to follow you around target with puppy eyes (he’s pushing the cart and he’ll be holding the bags on the way out)
makes it his life mission to get your family to like him.
if you had a strict mom he’d be able to convince her to stretch your curfew. “cmon we’ll be back at 12:30” after a while she gives in and agrees. “bring her back in one piece.”
doesn’t matter if you have a dad that’s into football or soccer he’ll watch the game with him. at the end of the game your dad will already be asking him when he’s going to come back.
so yeah it’s safe to say your parents love him and if you had siblings they’d love him to
I think he’s really clingy like he’ll always be hugging you or holding your hand
his love language is psychical touch and quality time. (he wants to be around you 24/7)
but he also knows when to leave you be
he’d bring you up any chance he gets “oh my girlfriend-“
posts you on his tiktok and instagram all the time. he’ll always include a cheesy caption
when u try change in front of him he’ll close his eyes like the gentleman he is (even if he’s seen you undress countless times before)
you and jack are trinity’s parents (to the unknown eye you three look like a little family)
learns to cook your favorite foods and desserts. “oh yeah i just made you a little something.” he’s nonchalantly abt it to.
he’s definitely a marvel fan and something tells me he was on team cap (even tho his favorite hero spiderman was on team ironman)
he lets you win in super smash bros (he totally isn’t bad at the game )
jack is non confrontational but he won’t tolerate disrespect towards you “don’t talk about my girlfriend.” he’ll get all up in someone’s face.
super protective but he also knew that he was getting with a bad bitch so you can wear whatever you want. “i know how to fight.” he flexes.
he sends you thirst traps when he’s at the gym
the worst person to go shopping with because he’ll pull a “i think you look good in them all.”
gets you a gift for every milestone.
valentine’s day is super important to him and he goes all out (gets your fav flowers, chocolates, stuffed animals and clothes.)
but his favorite holiday is probably halloween
you two will be brainstorming couple costumes months before october
i think he’s nerdy so his first pick would be anakin and padme from star wars
but he’ll be whatever you tell him to be
not to get nsfw but he’s definitely not afraid to go down on you (if you aren’t ready to get intimate he doesn’t pressure you )
his red flag is that he’s a scorpio and sometimes will test your devotion to him
you and butter (his cat) take up 99% of his camera roll
after you hit the one year mark he’s already in love and you are to
eventually you will get an apartment together
touch tank by quinnie coded
this is random but he’s a “the batman 2022” enjoyer and his fav villian is def two-face

jack champion x fem! reader basically pure soft content 🥺 HINT OF SUGGESTIVENESS BUT ITS NOT BADDD
jack was your first boyfriend so relationships were all new to you, you didn’t know how to tell him you loved him or even if you should tell him because it had only been five months since you two started dating and he hasn’t said it either. jack was an absolute sweetheart, he got along well with your family and he never rushed you to do anything you didn’t want to do so how could you not love him? if true love existed you wanted so badly for jack champion to be yours.
when you told him that you had never kissed anyone before you expected him to laugh or assume you were joking but his reaction is one of the reasons why you fell in love with him. “hey that’s ok. i can teach you. let’s start off easy-” he smiled and kissed your cheek so softly it felt like his lips tickled your cheek. “now can i kiss you right here.. you can say no.” his thumb brushed your top and bottom lip. “yes. please.” you nodded frantically and he chuckled and planted a chaste kiss on your lips.
his devotion and dedication to you was apparent to anyone who knew you guys, he posted you on his instagram and tiktok. he’d show you off at all his movie premieres and events. you were his lock screen and his home screen, he even told you his phone password even though you told him you didn’t need it. “i know you don’t need it but i insist babe.”
you both were left alone in his house with nothing to do so you two took advantage of the opportunity. “finally i get you all to myself.” he took your hand and lead you to his bed. “you sure you got the house to yourself?” you took off your jacket. “yes, until tomorrow.” he nodded, you smiled plopping down on his bed. “perfect.” he chuckled and joined you on his bed. after a while of watching netflix and playing video games things started to get a little hot and heavy. he was hovering above you just kissing you the kiss was so passionate. “you’re gorgeous.”
you deepened the kiss fully intending to take things further but suddenly you felt a pang of nervousness, you softly pushed his chest. “did i hurt you?” he was still catching his breath, you shook your head and sat up. “I want to say something.” you smiled, cheeks still flushed. today was the day you were determined to tell him, life was too short to be scared of rejection. “jack..i love you.” you blurted out and his eyes widened but inside he was jumping for joy. “i love you too.” he was smiling like the dork he was.
he gave you a tight hug and kissed the top of your head, he loved you back… that’s all you needed to know before fully giving yourself to him. “im ready.” you confidently said. “are you sure?” he held your hand and kissed the top of them. “yes I am.” you pushed jack down on the bed. “this is different.” he smirked and you laughed taking off your shirt.
J CHAMPION FOR WHITE BOY OF THE YEAR 2023 🏹❤️ @liyahsocorro u wanted to be tagged so now this is dt you!!! hope u enjoy also plz don’t mind if it’s mad corny 😭 I NEED MORE JACK CONTENT SO IF U WRITE FOR HIM TAG ME!!!
🍂: you are tired of jack treating you like a friend so you send him a signal (well many of them.) but he doesn’t seem to understand.
“you look really good today jack.” you smiled and fluttered your eyelashes, his eyes left his phone screen and he glanced at you with his adorable smile. “thanks buddy.” he playfully punched your arm and your smile faded… buddy? really. telling him he looked good was a little on the nose so you decided to go for an even bolder compliment. “your hair looks sexy like that.” you moved closer to him and he chuckled. “really? your dress is pretty.” his eyes scanned your body and you were jumping for joy inside. “thanks” you felt your cheeks heat up, no way in hell he was just looking at the design on your dress
you purposely wore this dress let’s just say it enhanced one of your best features. his phone rang and he groaned, must be a business call?.“shit uh i gotta go, ill see you on set.” he kissed your forehead before leaving you all alone on the couch. as soon as you heard the click of the door shutting you screamed inside of your pillow. “really y/n his hair looks sexy god im so stupid” you sigh. “or maybe he’s stupid for not seeing that im basically throwing myself at him, or maybe he doesn’t care.”
that whole situation happened four months ago and since then you’ve been trying even harder to get jack to notice your very obvious feelings, it’s not like you were cassie from euphoria level obsessed with him but you’d be lying if you said you didn’t change up some hairstyles or outfits to ones you knew he liked. you asked jenna if she knew that you liked jack and she laughed in your face. “duh! the whole cast knows” she tried to cheer you up and said that jack was just painfully oblivious and she even suggested just telling him that you liked him straight up. “if he doesn’t notice my signals by wrap then i’ll confess.”
so you tried a different approach you flirted with him everyday and he would just smile and respond back with a “thank you.” or “no y/n you’re too kind.” you began to think he wasn’t interested so you backed off until jenna whispered to you during lunch that he definitely has the hots for you and she knew for a fact he would stare at you. that made you feel a little better but if he liked you why didn’t he say anything. “jack how’s it look?” you twirled around in your new dress that you were going to wear for an interview soon. “you slay that dress.” he high fived you, you were sick of this buddy buddy / friend treatment.
it was the final day of filming and jack still didn’t do anything so you decided you’d just tell him, i mean if jenna was right then he likes you back and even if he didn’t you weren’t going to press him anymore. you walked to jack’s trailer and knocked. when he answered he was in his sweatpants and a shirt. “y/n happy wrap day.” his voice made you wanna melt. “thanks uh can we talk… it’s important.” his face twisted into a worried look so he nodded and let you in. you both sat on his little couch and shared a glance, his eyes looked so deeply into yours. “what’s up?” he chuckled. “jack champion. i like you and before you say anything if you don’t feel the same way i get it and it’s ok.” as soon as those words left your mouth his smile got wider. “are you serious?”
he was like an golden retriever. “ive sent you so many signals but you never really picked up on them.” you held his hand and he shook his head saying that he didn’t remember you sending him any flirty signals, you told him each and every time you sent him such a signal and he gasped. “ohh this whole time i thought you were just super sweet.” he laughed and apologized for being oblivious to your feelings. “i like you to and i think this should’ve been the signal you used.” he leaned in to kiss you and you kissed back fireworks blew up in your mind as the kiss deepened and became more passionate.
you two pulled away for air and you giggled. “i like that signal- i have an even better one to show you.” you whispered softly in his ear and his eyes widened. “y-yeah?” he suddenly felt nervous.”i should probably lock it then?” he asked and you nodded.

comment if you’d like to be added to the tag list for further ethan landry related content!
Ethan had his hands in his pockets as he made his way across campus, the sunlight making him squint a little to see properly. It was a beautiful day, the weather had been treating the residents of New York surprisingly well these past few days. He made use of that by taking the long way around to class.
Yeah, that was the reason.
Totally not because he was hoping to catch a glimpse of the cool girl he’d sometimes see skating across campus. Not at all.
He still remembers the first time he saw you. It was one of the first econ classes of the year, and his ears picked up the faint sound of wheels rolling over concrete behind him. He didn’t think much of it at first, but a voice calling out “watch your left!” properly caught his attention. He turned his head slightly, and was soon passed by you just nearly missing him as you zoomed by at a speed most would call dangerous.
The scent of your perfume caught his nose, and it genuinely had not left his mind ever since. He’d stared at you as you rode up to the building’s entrance and hopped off the board, catching it with ease. He thought about it so often, the way you seemed to so effortlessly glide along the concrete, your stylish clothes, your voice. Love at first sight might have been pushing it, but a crush? Without a doubt.
He’d watch you during the boring parts of lectures, noticing you drumming your fingers against your desk. Upon further inspection, also noticing you always had at least one airpod in. It made him wonder what kind of music someone like you would be into, probably something cool and indie he’d never heard of.
In reality, the soundtrack of the Shrek movie game blasted through your left ear. Maybe a tad less sophisticated than he was expecting, but a banger nonetheless.
His heart nearly skipped a beat when his eyes caught the familiar sight of you skating past the fountain. Instead of going further, you circled around it once, before doing a trick off the side of it. Ethan’s eyes widened and he refrained from applauding to make himself known, but man did he think that was cool. In reality, it wasn’t that hard, at least not to you. You’d been doing this for years, and you had the scars to prove it.
You both went to class like usual, him sneaking fleeting glances at you. You looked so pretty, lost in thought. Though he doubted those thoughts were about class, you tended to busy yourself with basically anything besides paying attention. He swore he’d seen you watch the Bee Movie during a lecture before...
You quickly rose to your legs after the lecture was announced to be over, grabbing your board by the edge and getting ready to head out, swinging your backpack over your shoulder. You went on your merry way to your favorite spot near the campus, a small abandoned skatepark, head nodding along with the beat of your music. You smoothly manoeuvred across campus and through a couple of streets, hopping off when you finally reached it. No one else was there, and honestly, you preferred it that way. There was no one in the way when you practiced, it was your secret little safe haven.
“H-Hey!” A semi-familiar voice called out behind you, seemingly slightly out of breath.
Great, up until now, it was your secret little safe haven.
You turned around, a confused expression plastered across your face when you made eye contact with Ethan. You remembered him, the boy from econ class who would sometimes stare at you during lectures. You were certain he didn’t know you knew, but honestly, it’s not like you minded.
“...Yeah?” You pulled off your headphones, letting them hang around your neck.
“I’m uh, I’m... I’m Ethan.” He struggled getting his words out, still catching his breath. Okay, so maybe he ran after you to see where you went, because he really wanted to ask you something. And maybe you didn’t hear him over your music before. So maybe...
“Did you follow me?” You questioned, stepping closer and taking your board under your arm.
Maybe he followed you. Ethan’s face grew flushed at the question, though in reality, that’s kind of exactly what he did. “N-No!” He put up his hands, trying really hard not to make himself sound like a creep. “Well... Yeah, but... I tried to ask you something, and you didn’t hear me, and I never get a chance to talk to you, so...”
“So you followed me.” You became slightly amused at him struggling to explain himself, suppressing a chuckle to spare him from further embarrassment.
“No I swear I--” He caught the slight smirk on your face, realizing you weren’t mad. “I’m sorry, I just...” He gestured to your skateboard. “I always see you skating by, and I think it’s so cool, and I would kill to know how to do that.” He gathered his thoughts and put his hands together. “Would you be so kind as to forgive me for following you, and please teach me some tricks?”
You looked him up and down, bringing up a hand to rest at the back of your neck, scratching slightly at the skin there. “Ah, fuck it.” You chuckled slightly, and his heart warmed at the sound. Your voice was so pretty, there was something so special about it. You held out a hand, and Ethan reached out to shake it as you introduced yourself. He already knew your name, but in fear of sounding like even more of a creep, he kept that to himself.
“Come on,” You gestured for him to come closer, setting down the board and hopping on it. You showed him the basics of a good stance, and his eyes watched your beat up sneakers balance on the wood as you explained yourself. “Got it?”
His head snapped up and he looked into your eyes. “Y-Yeah! Totally!”
You laughed softly, getting off the board. “You didn’t hear shit of what I said, did you?” You took a step back. “Get on, show me how you think you should do it, and we’ll adjust from there.”
“Okay, yeah... I can do that.” He carefully put a single foot onto the deck, and it instantly moved to the side, almost making him fall to the ground.
You reached out and he grabbed onto your arms, yelping when he nearly lost his balance. He put a second foot on, and his hands slid down to meet yours, gripping tightly out of fear for nearly eating concrete again.
“You got it, see? You’re standing!” You tried to be cool about holding his hands, but inside your mind, thoughts of all kinds were running rampant. Ethan was cute, really cute, and here he was, putting his faith in your hands. Literally.
“Yeah... Yeah! I am!” He got a bit too confident and shifted his weight, to which the board responded by moving again. You both got startled and you readjusted your grip on him, before you caught each other’s eyes again. Laughter broke from the both of you, unabashed giggles erupting as you both realized just how silly this was. This whole situation was pretty humorous, but watching him stand on the board like Bambi on ice was something else.
“Okay, okay...” You swallowed, catching your breath after your laughing fit. “I promise I’m not laughing at you, this is just... You’re kinda shit at this.” You giggled again.
He would have been offended if he didn’t know it was true. “I know, shit, I’m surprised I’m still standing.”
“You and me both. Alright, let’s move.” You gently started walking to the side, hands not letting go. The wheels rolled along the hard concrete as he followed along your side, eyes fixated more on you than the board. “There we go!”
He chuckled out of pure surprise that he was still on the deck, and partly to cover up the awkwardness he felt about you having to explain things so simply for him. He looked down at the board, imagining if he was doing it all on his own.
He was so good at imagining it, that he hadn’t even noticed you’d already let go of his hands, and he was now balancing himself as the board moved. It was only when it halted a bit after that he realized he was doing it by himself. He giggled adorably, arms raising up in a victory pose. You gave him a thumbs up in response, standing a few meters away from him now.
His confidence got the best of him as he gently put his foot down to push himself to your direction, forgetting everything he’d just learned and losing his balance right in front of you. He took you down with him as you both tumbled to the ground, limbs entangling when he landed on top of you.
“S-Shit! Ah, I’m so sorry! Oh my god, are you okay--” He spoke in a panicked tone, before he looked up at your face. You were grinning, clearly suppressing laughter. He let out a nervous chuckle, and that resulted in you bursting out in giggles once more. The two of you shared a good minute of pure, wholesome laughter, not even realizing you were so close together. Nothing else really mattered in that moment, all you could do was laugh.
“Aw, man...” You wiped away a tear from laughing so hard. “Kinda glad you followed me now, Landry. Haven’t had this much fun in ages.” Your heart fluttered at your own words. You couldn’t believe you were being so sappy, but you were genuinely having a blast, even if it involved falling horribly.
You looked down at your knee and noticed a scrape, hissing slightly through your teeth when you reached your hand out to touch it. “Shit, uh... Do you have a band-aid?”
He looked at the wound and then back at your face. “I, uh... I have some back at my dorm.”
You smiled, a bit of a mischievous glint in your eyes.
“Alright, lead the way.”
