#future reader

He sighs and closes the book with half lidded eyes, that book was his go to distraction from work, stress, or anything really. he became so absorbed in this character that he registered he'd taken too much of a fondness to her.  

Some would perceive this as absurd, but he would do anything to meet this girl, he fancied her more than he loved Elizabeth that's for sure. He would sacrifice anything to see that girl, he would happily kill his cousin for her to even be real and his fiancé in Elizabeth’s place. 

The bluenette rested his head on his hand as he tapped his quill on his paper, he was doodling on the back of a pointless document that was going to be thrown soon enough, he drew the best he could of her soft features, hair, eyes, smile, body shape while he was softly smiling at his drawing, his eyes snapped up to in front of his desk as a weird noise could be heard, almost like the swirling of water as a black and white rift started to manifest in his room, it became large enough to fit a human through and he stood up at attention, alarmed, believing this to be the work of an arch angel. 

Just as he was about to utter his contracted demons name, 

"Sebas-!" 

A girl fell through and landed with a hard thud on the wooden floor, her body lay still on the cold ground as the earl looked bewildered at the girl who just appeared in his study. Once she was through, the rift in the air; the swirling of black and white snapped shut. Gone for however long. 

The boy quickly shoved the book into his desk draw that had a lock on it, putting the key in his pocket alarmingly fast. he walked hastily to the girl on the floor who upon further inspection was unconscious, she was very pretty; now that he was looking at her, he blushed and stared a bit at the girl on the floor who looked to be in pain, even unconscious. 

As he leaned closer to her, he took a knee to observe her better, she looked familiar, but he knows he's never met her. her features look like something he's heard of before, (your hair colour) hair, (your face shape) face, (your fashion sense) style of clothes, but no... that would be absurd.... 

The boy was confused, so confused in fact that he didn't notice the girls scrunching face and flickering eyes start to open. 

You jumped up in surprise, shoving the boy staring at you so he was far away, he fell flat on his arse and yelped, you scurried away backwards from him, your first instinct was to get the fuck away from anyone near you. 

The boy was just as surprised as you looked panicked, your eyes were darting in all directions, trying to gather where you were, you slowly gained your senses as you now looked at the boy in front of you who was still sat on his arse but staring at you in panic and confusion. 

This was obviously some sort of study or something in your eyes, it reminded you of black butler, specifically Ciel's study, and look! There's even a Ciel to go with the room! 

wait a god damn minute... that's Ciel fucking Phantomhive.... Am I dreaming? what da fuqu??? 

You sat up so you were no longer leaning backwards and tilted your head to the side as you looked at Ciel, showing you were confused. There was pink dusting his cheeks as he looked away and coughed into his hand. hmm... 

The boy stood quickly and looked down at you menacingly as if to say he's the one in charge. what a power trip amirite?  

"Who the hell are you? Why on earth are you in my manor." He asked calmly, but the hint of a threat as well as curiosity was hidden in his tone, he stares at you with a squinted eye while slowly making the connections to his favourite character, you did come through that weird portal, could it be? 

You stuttered as you looked up, wondering how in the fucking hell your sat before THE Ciel Phantomhive, the earl and the cutie patootie of your favourite show. You're a simp for his entire being, you were attempting to shift just to see him in person, did it work? No, this is too real. This must be real life.. 

You took a deep breath as you looked him in his eyes- well...eye and stated your name, modestly of course. 

"Y/n, Y/n L/n. Now who in the devilled fucking eggs are you?!" You raised your voice at the end, you started to get up off your knees and stood up, you were leaned back but definitely taller than the boy. 

Ciel's eyes widened at your name however he quickly glares at you, it adds up. Your name, eyes, hair, body, attitude...is it? 

He wanted to clear this up, to make sure for definite, he walked back around to his desk and asked you to sit down by gesturing to the chair opposite his. He was pacing back and forth. 

To you, this felt like an investigation of sorts, like he was the detective, and you were a case for him to crack wide open. Well, you wouldn't be opposed ;) AHEM.  

You sat there slumped, leaning your head back as you let it roll, regret hit you like a freight train as when your head rolled, you hit the wooden back of the chair and your head shot up, you rubbed the back of your head to sooth it. Stupid funking chair... 

"Your name...your body type...your hair, your eyes even.... The book said you were (your height) tall..." the boy mumbled as he paced a little bit. 

You stopped shit talking the chair as slowly raised your head to him, now it was your turn to squint. See? It's not just the pirate that can do it. 

You stared daggars at him as your voice was heard softly and wearily in the quietness of the room. 

"I am (your height) tall... how did you guess that so accurately...?" You were wondering if it could be possible that he either was THAT good at estimating height or if you could also be a story in this world, just as he is in yours... 

"SECONDLY! I asked you who you are!" You pointed at the boy while glaring at his confused face. 

"My name is Earl Ciel Phantomhive, the owner of the Funtom company and the owner of this estate. Now... do you perhaps have a brother? And what's his name. As well as your closest friend's name...this will confirm you suspicions of you..." 

Jesus, he talks in essay paragraphs... 

"Um... I do have a brother and his name is (brothers name or made up name) I don't know how that's relevant, but my best friend is called (best friends name)... Am I... Fictional in this place? This is just a hunch, please don't treat me as if I'm insane!" You started to panic as you shouldn't have spoken of your theory aloud. 

"You're actually completely correct...if you come from the future, the 21st century maybe, then you must be her..." He pulls out the previous key from his pocket and unlocked the draw, reaching for the book he treats as if it were sacred. He hesitantly hands it to you; you quickly skim through the pages. The silence nipping and gnawing at his swirling thought if your reaction... 

Safe to say he was shooketh when you slowly started to smile and that graduated into a soft giggle, it was adorable, much more adorable than the book described it as... The description paled in comparison to your real characteristics...They only caught a glimpse of your true beauty. 

"Hehe...little earl, your going to laugh at this...you’re actually a fictional character in my world too! Hahaha! The show nor the manga did your looks justice! Your even cuter in person!" 

The boy looked at you shocked and flustered, still attempting to register the preposterous idea that maybe, just maybe you felt the same as he felt for your character.  

You were hunched over, your shoulders bouncing up and down as you tried, TRIED to keep your giggling quiet, reaching into your trouser pocket, you pulled out your phone and went to your gallery, you have hundreds of photos of the boy in question, you pulled one up and placed your phone on the table, spinning it so he could see it the correct way and pushed in towards him. 

You rested your head on the desk and hit the wood with your fist, your laughing now silent wheezing, holy shit, you never thought you would ever be described in such a formal way, sounded straight outta a mix of twilight and a horrible history's combination. It was fucking hilarious, "thus the pleasing complexion of her face luring in the devil himself to her chambers" WHAT THE FUCK?! HAHAHAHA!  

As you were on the brink of tears, the blue eyes boy in question looked at your phone in wonder as he listened to your melodic voice ring through his ears; oh how he wish he could hear that laugh more often, looking at the photo of him that looked drawn, very commendable art work, as he picks up your phone in curiosity, his fingers accidentally swiped to the left, which showed the photo on the next page, it was one of Ciel being flustered and embarrassed with the words cutie, my boy, dearest and my husband surrounding it with little pink and blue hearts scattered around it, safe to say, Ciel got the answer to his previous question, you liked him too...he realised that dragging his finger across the screen changed the photo, he marvelled at the technology advancement but he had focused on finding out how in love and enamoured you were with him as he was with you. Art that seemed like they were done by you because of the written words (Y/n) Phantomhive written in your handwriting on a photo, and another with writing saying (Y/n) + Ciel... 

"Hmm so I was correct...(Y/n) you really shouldn't have handed me this." He held the phone to you, and it was a drawn photo of you and Ciel lost in each other's eyes, you didn't say you were a bad artist, but you were rather embarrassed about being caught. 

"I- I'm so sorry Ciel! I mean earl! That uh, that's not meant to be seen by you... Oh god that's embarrassing!"  

The earl stood up and walked around his desk once again, this time he pulled your chair back a bit and leaned down to be face to face with you, he slowly reached for your hand and placed your phone in it, smirking at your pink face. 

"Alright, don't act so smug! I saw the hearts around my name in the book! And those little drawings of me on your paperwork!" You said with your own cheeky grin.  

He blushed and looked away, leaning away from your face, 

"Well now we know we both like each other maybe a bit too much..." 

"But that makes it feel like we've known each other more than just this meeting, doesn't it darling..?" You say with a soft voice as you reached for Ciel's cheek, stroking it softly as he gazes into your eyes, pink dusting his cheeks as he seemed lost in them. 

Ciel gulps and takes a deep breath and let's it go, "you have no idea how much I am infatuated with you (Y/n), you always plagued my thoughts however I welcomed them...I would have sacrificed anything to see you in person and my desire came true...I'm not sure if I'm dreaming anymore, maybe Sebastian will wake me in a bit, I don't know..." he says as he's still lost in your eyes, his eyes flickering to your lips as he is face to face with you, you grab his waist and pull him so he's pinning you to the chair and standing over you, his eyes half lidded as he feels as though he can finally achieve his dream of kissing his crush, fictional or not, she's sat right here...right Infront of him...he'd be an absolute idiot if he didn't make the most of this opportunity, you must be thinking the same thing if you both discovered each other in those stories at the same time, you've loved each other for months, years even but you never met. He read that story years ago and he’s still hooked onto you. 

You held Ciel by the waist as your other hand stroked his cheek, he leaned into your hand making your heart melt at his affection. Both of you were in love with one another, that was obvious, the elephant in the room had been addressed, it was a thing of who was going to make the first move. Ciel couldn't get any redder as his long-time crush was drowning him in affection and he never wanted it to end. 

You slowly sat up straighter to move your face closer to his, your breath softly mingling with his as his eyes flickered from your own eyes to your delicious looking lips, he wanted to kiss you desperately but he was still unsure, you face got even closer, lips ghostly brushing against each other's, sparks flew between the contact as you could no longer wait, you used your hand on his cheek to finally make the full connection. 

Both of you melted as the kiss was full of love, not lust. The kiss being innocent as you both bathed in the feeling of each other's lips against one another, you sighed into the kiss as you push him even closer to your face to savour the moment, his lips feeling like clouds as you reach heaven, his taste being of earl grey with vanilla sponge, his scent overtaking your mind, driving you crazy with the gently fruity scent of his favourite tea and sugar, an addicting scent.  

Your heart was pounding in your chest and so was his, he was so flustered as this was his first kiss, he was unsure what to do but simply said, he was enjoying every second of it. his face felt as though it was set ablaze, his hands leaving the chair he was leaning on and entangled themselves in your hair and the side of your neck as he felt pure love. 

Both of you pulled away softly, eyes opening to look at each other with love filled gazes, you undid his eyepatch, he freaked out and stuttered telling you not to until you said, 

"Ciel, there is nothing I don't know about you, in the least creepy way possible. I know about your contract, I believe both of your eyes are beautiful, I could stare at them for hours and not get bored..." you chuckled breathily as you were still trying to regain yourself. 

He calmed at your words and let the eyepatch fall from his face as his eye slowly fluttered open with his soft eye lashes framing the purple iris that stole your breath away, you strained up a bit to kiss his eye as he closed it, you lips made contact with his eye lid and the boy became a stuttery mess, cute... 

He stayed flustered so you grabbed the back of his head again and smashed his lips against yours, he let out a surprised noise, but melted into the kiss again, this time more confident. he had on hand leaning on the chair, one entangled back in your hair and he placed his knee between your legs to keep his balance.  

The boy lets out a Shakey breath as you kiss him albeit a little bit more passionately this time, you kept ending the kisses quickly only just to start kissing him again and again, he was loving it, it was addicting to him. 

You both pull away with flushed faces and panting as you both regain your composure.  

"Ahem...I guess we should establish some sort of relationship from this, shouldn't we?" the flustered boy asks, he gets off from practically being on top of you, leaning against his desk as you stutter out an answer. Cute... 

"O-of course! Only if you want too though... I'm not sure how I got here and how long I'll be staying however..." 

Suddenly an all too familiar voice cuts in. 

"That would be both of your doing, the divine beings themselves accidentally separated two soulmates into different dimensions, this is their apology." Sebastian says in his well know smug voice. he is very punchable you know. 

Ciel shouts at his demon butler to get out while his face gets redder at the thought of his pet demon teasing him for this later. You chuckled at the boy you love’s embarrassment, the demon doing the same thing however, he very quickly bowed to you mentioning how it was a pleasure to meet you and is pleasantly awaiting your stay at the manor. Noice.  

The earl sighs and shakes his head as the butler walks out, he turned to you and asked, 

“So, my lady, do you wish to stay in the phantomhive manor with me? If you're my soulmate, I will happily explain to Elizabeth that I have found something that makes me smile and I'm sure she will understand.” Ciel says to you with a soft smile, with affectionate eyes draping over you. 

“Of course! I would be more than happy! - I mean- Ahem... If that's alright with you?” 

“It most certainly is my dear, my life feels as though it might actually improve for the better, I thank you angel.” 

You stand up and walk over to Ciel who was leaning on the desk, cornering against it, you wrapped your arms around him and nuzzled into his chest, showing him your gratitude. The earl smiled as his heart fluttered in his chest, being flustered by the affection. He wrapped his arms around your waist, hugging you back. 

“Hey, Ciel?” 

“Yes, my dear?” 

“I love you...” 

“I love you too my sweet angel” 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS ACTUAL PILE OF SHIT  

🕱🕱🕱

You felt cold. It was like being underwater in the ocean, except you could breathe. You opened your eyes, seeing a bright light coming towards you. You blinked a few times to get used to the brightness.

You looked around, seeing that you were surrounded in a world that was unlike any you had ever seen. Everything was dark and gross, unlike the bright light up ahead. You got up off the ground, cringing as you brushed off your jeans. This place had a terrible smell and what looked like spores were in the air. Good thing you were wearing your mask.

You looked up, seeing the hole you fell into was way too high to try and get back out. So you decided the best idea was to go towards the light. You walked forward, picking up the pace, but you still felt uneasy. What was going on in this world? Why did you end up here? Why did you have to jump in that hole?

You looked around, searching for another person. There didn't seem to be anyone around, yet you felt like someone was watching from the darkness of this different world. 

You reached the light, eyes widening as you saw a wall. There was a rip in the wall, where the light was coming from. Hesitantly, you reached forward, pushing your hand through. The ripe opened and weird sticky webs stuck to your hand making you wince.

But you had to get out.

You pulled your hand out, looking at the webbing. "Ew…" You spoke in disgust, scratching at your skin.

You looked up, looking at the wall, the rip in it expanding. You could hear faint noises. People. You couldn’t hear what they were saying. It was all in whispers. 

"Hello?" you called out, reaching back towards the rip in the wall.

You heard nothing back. You hated spiderwebs. Yet, these things didn't look like them exactly. You sighed, closed your eyes, and counted to five, before you pushed through. 

You stumbled out and into the bright light. Catching your breath, you opened your eyes. You were in these woods. The trees were large, their branches reaching out, creating a canopy over your head. The grass was green, and it seemed as if there was a stream running right next to you. There was moss covering the ground, and the flowers that grew here were beautiful.

But... Where were you?

🕱🕱🕱

You decided to follow the stream. Knowing it'll either lead to a lake or something. You couldn't hear people anymore. Only the sound of birds chirping and the soft breeze through the trees.

You followed the stream until you heard talking. Voices. You sped up, pushing past bushes and moving past trees. In the clearing, was a school. You stopped. None of this looked familiar. 

You decided to ask for help. As you walked towards the school, you tried to get as many of the stupid webs out of your hair and off of your arms. You noticed off the bat what all the people were wearing. Blast from that past, your grandfather called it. Big curly hair, neon colors, and denim jackets. This looked like it was straight from the 80s. 

You looked around to see if any of these high schoolers could help you, finding a girl, with her hair in a ponytail. She wore a pink blouse, and a skirt that was knee length. She also had a brown suede jacket that she carried on her shoulder. You took a deep breath. Somehow, this seemed harder than bursting through a wall of gross webs. Darn, social anxiety. You walked over, gaining her attention.

"Excuse me, miss?" You asked, stopping in front of the young woman.

The teen looked up, her face looking puzzled as she stared at you. You feel so awkward.

"What?" She asked, blowing a pink bubblegum bubble.

"I was wondering if you could tell me where I am?" You asked again.

She rolled her eyes. "This is the high school." She spoke confusedly.

You nodded. "I know. I mean, where am I town wise?" You asked, tilting your head.

The girl just stared at you weirdly before answering. "Hawkins, Indiana... Duh."

You were about to ask her again but she just scoffed and walked off. You bit your lip, subconsciously playing with your hair as you thought.

"Hawkins..?" You muttered to yourself. 

You've never heard of a town named Hawkins. But then again... You did just go down into a hole and into a weird dark creepy area to get here.

You sighed, looking around. You felt out of place. You weren't wearing the same thing everyone else was. You probably even looked like a mess with webs in your hair still. You felt so... Weird.

🕱🕱🕱 

Dustin walked out with Lucas and Mike, automatically spying on the girl who looked lost. 

"Hey, she looks lost... Doesn't she?" Dustin asked his friends who looked at the girl as well.

Lucas shrugged. "Maybe a new student?"

Dustin shook his head in thought. "Maybe, we should help her."

Mike rolled his eyes, "She'll be fine. Let's just go to class."

Dustin ignored Mike, quickly walking over to the lost young woman.

"Hey, are you lost?" He asked, walking over to her.

She turned to him, a confused expression on her face. "Yes. I am." She said, looking around. "I don't recognize this school. Or this town."

Dustin was about to reply when he saw the young woman pull out a weird flat device. Tapping at it.

"And I can't seem to get any signals."

Dustin furrowed his eyebrows. He's never seen anything like that. Mike and Lucas also watched, eyeing the device in her hand.

"Um... What is that?" Dustin asked, taking a step forward.

The girl looked at him, startled. "What?"

Dustin swallowed, holding his hands out to show he was harmless. "What's that in your hands?"

The woman looked at the device and went back to Dustin. "My phone."

Dustin's eyebrows shot up, "Huh?"

Mike sputtered a laugh, "That's not a phone."

The woman furrowed her own eyebrows, "Um, yeah. It is..."

It was silent for a moment.

"What year is it?" She finally asked quietly. 

Dustin raised an eyebrow, "Oh, um... It's '86'."

The woman cleared her throat. "1986?"

Dustin nodded, "Yeah..?"

The woman shook her head, "No, no, no, no, no. I'm in the past..."

Dustin blinked, "Dude?"

"What?" Lucas asked, Mike following.

"What do you mean?" Dustin asked and the young woman ran a hand through her slightly messed up hair. 

"I don't know! I was just minding my own business, heading home from work, and found this weird hole. Decided to jump into it cause why the hecky-doo not!? And then I was in this dark gross place and found this rip in the wall and went through and got weird webs on me. Then I was suddenly in a forest and found this school. And now, I am finding out that this is the year 1986 and I am so gonna get in trouble when I get home."

Dustin's eyes widened, "Was this dark place cold and gave you the feeling that someone was watching you, and had weird growing fleshy things?"

You turned to the young teen, nodding, "Yes! It did."

Dustin looked at his friends, "Guys, do you think she came from the Upside Down?"

Both Mike and Lucas shook their heads. "What?"

Dustin looked back at the girl. "What year is it for you?"

"2022." You told him, looking around.

Dustin looked at his friends again. "Guys, we should explain to her."

Mike and Lucas nodded, though hesitantly.

Dustin turned back to you, "I'm Dustin, what's your name?"

"Y/N L/N."

🕱🕱🕱

"So... What you're telling me is that there is another dimension called the "Upside Down" and that was where I was? And that for years now this towns has had weird creatures terrorize it and people had died and stuff like that? And! That you have a friend named El that has supernatural powers?" You asked, leaning on the picnic table bench.

Dustin, Lucas, and Mike nodded. "Yep."

"I must be dreaming…” You mumbled before speaking again. “But, how would that dimension get to my time?"

Dustin shrugged, "I have no clue."

"How can I get back?" You asked, crossing your arms.

Dustin looked at his friends for help. They both looked defeated. "I don't know."

You sighed, biting your lip. You raised a hand to your mouth, fidgeting with your hair. "Oh my God, I'm getting fired. What if I can't get back? My family... Oh, goodness." You began to cry.

Dustin immediately stood up, rushing to you. He awkwardly rubbed your back, trying to comfort you.

"It'll be okay," He whispered to you.

You sniffled, just closing your eyes as Lucas and Mike watched awkwardly.

You wiped away some of your tears with the back of your hands. You felt so embarrassed.

After a few minutes, you managed to pull yourself together. "Thanks guys. For helping me out." You smiled weakly.

You then widened your eyes, "Oh, I haven't asked your names."

Lucas gave a wave, "I'm Lucas."

"And I'm Mike." The teen with the black hair spoke.

You let out a sigh and tried to calm down. Pulling out your Strawberry sanitizer you poured a bit in your hands, cleaning them.

"What's that?" Lucas asked and you looked up.

"This is my sanitizer. It’s scented strawberry."

"Oooh, could I try some?" Dustin asked from beside you and you nodded, pouring a bit in his hands.

Dustin followed what you had previously done before cupping his hands to his face and breathing in fiercely. His eyes lit up, "Wow! That smells good!"

Lucas laughed, "What's it like?"

Dustin inhaled again. "It smells sweet and fruity."

Mike chuckled and both he and Lucas stuck out their hands.

"So, the future has scented sanitizer? What even is it?" Lucas asked.

"It cleans your hands. Gets rid of 99.99% of germs."

Lucas shook his head. "Well, it does smell nice. Are there other scents?"

You nodded your head, "There are so many! There is coconut, watermelon, sugar cookies, and even ones that smell like a summer's breeze."

"Wow, oh, what's the future like? Are there flying cars?" Dustin asked and you laughed.

"No, not really."

"What other things do you have?" Mike asked.

"Well, we have flat screen TVs, phones, hoverboards that don't really hover, they are like skateboards but only two wheels. We also have robots that can do surgery, and Google. I don't want to spoil too much. You'll all get there someday."

The three boys looked at you in awe.

"We also have virtual reality. Which is this headset you put on over your eyes and you feel like you're in another world." 

"Wow, that sounds cool." Mike spoke, but Dustin quickly interrupted.

"What's music like?"

You nodded, "We have such singers as Billie Eilish and Harry Styles. Don't get me started on him, he's a dreamboat. But, Duran Duran, Blondie, Tears For Fears, and some other 80s bands are still touring."

Dustin nodded, "Okay, but is future music good?"

You looked off in thought before answering, "I personally like 80s music more but... Oh, wait. I could show you!"

"You can show us!?" Dustin asked and you nodded, grabbing your iPod from your bag.

"This is an iPod. Where you can call people, text; which is like sending a letter but faster, and searching the internet. But I mostly use it for games and music." You spoke as the three teens watched in awe.

You then went to your downloaded music, pressing the 80s and clicking on "Footloose."

The song began to play and nodded your head to the tune. The teens smiled and looked at the device in awe.

"Wow, that's amazing!" 

You nodded, pausing the song. 

"Do you want to hear some from the future?" The teens nodded.

"I'll do one song per decade, I don't want to ruin all the fun."

You then put on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana from the 90s, "Umbrella" by Rihanna, "Shape Of You" by Ed Sheeran, "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish, and "As It Was" by Harry Styles.

You turned off the music, looking at the teen expectedly. "So? Which did you like best?"

"I liked the umbrella one." Dustin spoke.

"I liked the Nirvana one. They sound cool." Mike spoke and Lucas nodded.

"I also liked the Ed Sheeran guy, but the 80s are the best."

You smiled, "Alright, I'll play more from the 80s!"

You then played "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", softly as you talked with the teens about the future and your life in it.

"You losers are not bothering her too much, eh?" A voice called out and the four of you looked up, seeing a guy around your age with long curly hair, mullet style, wearing a denim and leather jacket.

Definitely punk rock vibes.

And… He was kind of cute.

Mike and Lucas flinched, but Dustin waved. "Hey, Eddie."

The guy crossed his arms, "Hey, so who is this lovely lady?" He asked, looking back at you.

You stared at the man in shock. "Uh... I uh..."

Dustin stepped forward, "She's Y/N."

Eddie's eyebrows went up, "A friend of yours?"

"Just recently. Yes." Lucas spoke.

"You new around here?" This... Eddie asked and you shrugged.

You looked back to the boys and they subtly shook their heads. You awkwardly looked back to Eddie, smiling nervously.

"I'm new in town. Who might you be?"

The guy walked over and brought out his hand, you placed your hand in his expectating a good shake but were caught by surprise when Eddie leaned down and pressed a kiss on the back of your hand.

"My name is Eddie, but you can call me Eddie." He spoke as he smirked.

You blushed, smiling softly. "Nice to meet you, Eddie." You mumbled.

"So, tell me, babe... Do you always smell like strawberries?" He asked and your eyes widened.

"Um, not all the time."

He nodded, "You like strawberries?" He asked and you nodded.

"I do."

Eddie grinned. "Then I'll keep you."

Dustin rolled his eyes, somewhat glaring at Eddie.

"Eddie, you can't just flirt with her."

"Why not?" He questioned.

"Because she's my... Cousin!" Dustin slightly struggled.

Eddie tilted his head, "Cousin?"

Dustin sighed, "Yeah, my cousin."

Eddie put his hands in the pockets of his black ripped jeans.

"I don't see how that could stop me." He shrugged.

The bell rang in the school, for lunch. Eddie gestured to the picnic table.

"Well, I have a very important meeting, I'm going to have to kick you all out of here."

Dustin rolled his eyes, grabbing your arm and pulling your way. You turned back to look at Eddie who was already looking at you. He winked.

And strangely enough… You felt butterflies.
