The door opened.

“Hi, Mrs. Lynch!” Naomi beamed.

“Oh, hey guys! Are you here for Declan?” Mrs. Lynch widened the door to let Naomi in, followed by Bennett and Jordan. 

“Yeah, we’re going to stuff ourselves at the new pizza place, so don’t be too surprised if Declan comes back looking like a Christmas ornament.’ Jordan said.

Mrs. Lynch laughed. “Well he’s just down that corridor in the very last room. Delilah should be there too, I’m sure she’d appreciate seeing you guys.”

Bennett gave her a small smile and a nod. “Thank you, Mrs. Lynch.”

Naomi started down the hallway while the other two took their time walking behind her. 

Naomi heard Jordan start talking from behind her. “Mrs. Lynch is so much cooler than Declan. We should just replace him with her for the gang, eh Bennett?” 

Naomi halted when she reached the room. She could hear someone playing guitar and singing inside, but she couldn’t see who it was due to the door being closed. She wondered if she should listen in or interrupt. It sounded beautiful.

“I don’t think that’d be fair towards Mrs. Lynch, you know, seeing that she’d end up having to deal with you and all,” Bennett said as they caught up to her.

“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean-”

Naomi whipped her head around, wearing a glare Declan would be proud of. 

“Be. Quiet.” She whispered threateningly. Jordan audibly gulped while Bennett took a step back. She turned and rested her hand on the door handle. “I think Declans singing to Delilah in there, so let’s be quiet.” She pushed the door slightly open to get a view.

And there was Declan, sitting cross-legged on the floor, his back facing the doorway. In front of him sat Delilah, laughing as she fiddled with some toys. Declan was strumming a guitar in his lap while singing ‘Hey There, Delilah’ to his sister.

‘Oh, it’s what you do to me...

Oh, it’s what you do to me...

What you do to me,’

Delilah stared up at him with wide eyes, then pointed at the guitar.

“Gee-ah.” She said confidently.

Declan smiled and continued.

‘Hey there, Delilah

I know times are gettin' hard

But just believe me, girl

Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar-’

“Gee-ah!” Delilah exclaimed while waving her toy around, causing Declan to chuckle as he sang.

‘We'll have it good..

We'll have the life we knew we would.

My word is good,’

Before he could continue, Delilah began to babble, trying to sing like her brother. Declan kept strumming his guitar but stopped singing, allowing her to have her solo verse. No matter how inharmonious it may have been, Declan grinned as if it were the most beautiful thing he’d ever heard. And to him, it probably was.

After she was finished, without missing a beat, Declan leaned back and closed his eyes and belted, mimicking an overly passionate singer. His voice resonated throughout the room, giving Naomi chills.

‘Ohh, its what you do to me..

Oh, its what you do to me’

Declan faced her, then dramatically threw his head back again, causing Delilah to giggle.

‘Oh, its what you do to me..

Oh, its what you do to me-’

Suddenly Jordan coughed. Loudly, right in Naomis ear. It caused her to jump and bump into the door with a thud.

Declan froze and turned around, startled.

“what the- are you guys crying?”

As if on cue, a tear rolled down Naomis face. She turned around to see Bennett clear his throat and look away to admire the door frame while Jordan swiped at his nose with his sleeve multiple times, trying to be discreet.

“N-no-”

“Yeah.”

Declan shrugged. “I do tend to have that effect. My mom reacted the same way,”

Jordan thrust a hand out and shushed Declan. “Dont ruin the moment with your grating speaking voice.”

“Jordan, do you realize that ‘the moment’ was ruined the second you coughed so loud the neighbours could hear us?” Bennett deadpanned.

Jordan turned to him, mouth agape. “Uh, do you realize that your face is stupid?’

Declan cringed. “That was lame, Jordan. even for you.”

“I know,” Jordan said as he dropped his head.

Declan put his guitar aside and picked up Delilah. “I’m ready to go, so if you guys want to say hi to Delilah, we can do that before we leave.”

The Three Musketeers (TGGBB) 

So i finally drew these boys (men). Bennett, Jordan, and Declan. 

If you didn’t know, they’re from “The Good Girl’s Bad Boys” by RubixCube89201. It’s a story about bullying and friendship i found on wattpad.

Pretend bennets cooking isnt much of a secret for a minute thx

i make way too much bennett stuff someone stop me

Bennett has an Instagram but its not the kind u think it is

Its a cooking/food instagram

He posts pictures of the food he makes

The cover picture is the actual food, then in the slides after it he posts random pictures of the making process

And he sticks to that style of posting religiously

Posts a couple times per month, only when he thinks his dish is good enough

All of his pictures are perfectly shot and focused and everything

The making process usually consists of pictures of his used bowls stacked in the sink, his knives scattered on the counter, his food sizzling in his pan/being stirred, food sitting in the oven, or his chopped vegetables waiting to be cooked

But unlike his food, his captions are BLAND

Theyre just

(Insert a sentence about his cooking, usually the name of the dish and his opinion on how it turned out)

(Insert recipe under the first sentence)

(Insert hashtags)

Example:

“Made penne pasta from scratch today. I think I’ll add less salt next time. (Insert recepie) (insert hashtags)”

“I helped my family chef make this ratatouille, and I got to practice my slicing skills. (Insert recipe) (insert hashtags)”

He manually types out all his recipes btw

He tried finding recipes that he could copy and paste but he couldnt find ones that were concise and accurate enough so he decided to just type them out himself

Naomi genuinely apreciates his cooking acc and comments things like “that looks so good!” And “bennett youve gotta make me that one day” yk like a normal follower of a cooking account

Then theres declan and jordan

Under bennetts ratatouille post declan commented just to troll jordan: “@ jordan Hey isnt ratatouille the name of that rat?”

Jordan replied with a “HIS NAME IS REMY YOU BUFFOON” and they had a war in his comment section

Bennett neither acknowledged nor deleted it

Jordan likes to troll bennett by commenting things like “go back to the kitchen and make me a sandwich” or “bennett this is a very serious question i need to know if youve ever eaten cheerios please respond i am very worried”

Bennett ignores jordans comments

Declan either comments stuff like “🤌🤌🤌 spaghetti pepperoni” or genuinely praises his cooking theres no in-between

Jordan declan and naomi are always replying to eachother in his comment section

Bennetts response to most of his compliments in the comments is “thank you.” after he likes the comment

“Great work!”

“Thank you.” *likes comment*

“So cool! I wish i could cook that well!”

“Thank you.” *likes comment*

He has around 1k followers

Gets around 600 likes on average

50% are actual foodies and chefs who like his food

30% are people who find him hot and spam his comments with stuff about his looks (which he sees but doesnt acknowledge because he doesnt know what to say)

One time he decided for his making process he would post a picture of himself with some chopped onions

Ever since then he’s been flooded with thirst comments

The other 20% are his friends or other connections hes made

He only properly responds to comments with constructive criticism or detailed feedback

Commenter who actually cares about his cooking: “oh wow i really like the way you (insert professional cooking terminology). Although the plating was slightly messy to me, i think it still came out really great. Good job!”

To which bennett responds with something like “I do agree, i could have plated it a little better because i rushed to finish, but ill make sure not to do that next time. Thank you for the feedback.” *likes and pins comment*

His bio says

Bennett R. Frazier

Aspiring chef

Feedback appreciated

He/him

This ended up being way longer than i intended oop

“Im gonna miss you guys so much.” Naomi managed out. “I can't be alone again." Tears streamed down her face. This was the last time she would see her best friends, her family.

Jordan wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his side. He was staring at the floor, completely silent, but she could feel him shaking. Declan stood close on her other side and let her rest her head on his shoulder. He was sniffling, but covered it up by coughing and turning his head away. He didnt stop himself from grasping her hand.

This day was inevitable. Naomi knew they would eventually have to go their own ways. She had been preparing herself multiple weeks in advance and everything.

So why was this so hard?

She knew why, obviously. She wouldn’t find a friendship like theirs again. In the span of a year they’d all been through so much together. They found eachother on a stroke of luck, one she hadn’t experienced in 11 years. Was she just supposed to leave it behind, the way everyone had left her? The way the guys were about to do the same?

Naomi drew in a shuddering breath. “You guys saved me.” She whispered.

Her three true friends, the people who saw her, defended her, saved her, loved her. They saw her for who she truly was and stayed, unlike most of the people in her life. How did they manage to see any worth in her at all?

"No, Naomi." Said Bennett. Naomis teary eyes flicked up to him standing in front of them, his hands relaxed in his pockets and his posture upright and confident as always. He stared right at her, showing no signs of emotion. But when he spoke again, he wore a faint smile and his voice cracked.

this is made from what we learned in chapter 24 of tggbb 2. spoiler alert!

based on what we know about bennetts past we can assume that 'suffocating’ naomi is the last thing he would want to do

he would always want her to feel free with him, the way he feels around her

because based on what we see in chapter 24, bennett is himself around naomi, he really shines

and he wants her to shine too

and he never wants to come in the way of her independence

in the first few stages of the relationship he might take that too far

he might try to avoid being overly clingy or expectant of her 

but to naomi it feels like hes being more distant than when they were friends

and its confusing as hell to her 

my boys never been in a relationship hes awkward leave him alone he just doesnt want to mess it up by crossing a line

Bc theyre just kids. no matter how fast they had to grow up, theyre gonna have moments where they have no idea what the fuck it is that theyre doing

and naomi ends up thinking hes ashamed to be next to her, and shes hurt because she thought bennett would be the one person in her life who wasnt embarrassed to be around her

after some confrontations bennett starts to loosen up

and naomi learns that bennett has his ways of showing he cares

they may be unconventional but they make her the happiest girl in the world

linking pinkies

random eye contact from across the room and looking away either blushing or trying not to laugh

bennett buying naomi whatever he finds that vaguely reminds him of her 

“here”

“a texas-shaped magnet?”

“i came across it at the store and it reminded me of you because of that one time last year when you said (insert something naomi said about texas)”

“i dont even remember that”

Naomi having boxes full of the stuff Bennett buys for her just because it reminded him of her

She told him to stop but he just smirked, kissed her on the cheek and walked away

HIS DELICATE PECKS ON HER CHEEK + FOREHEAD

HER PULLING HIM DOWN BY THE COLLAR OF HIS SHIRT TO KISS HIM ON THE LIPS

having the most impeccable memory and remembering the smallest and randomest things about each other

and every time one of them remembers something small the other one’s heart swells

comfortable silences 

they have the best communication skills

Even if they try to hide how they're feeling the other will always know

*one of them being in a bad mood but trying not to show it*

* the other one noticing and setting down a bowl of ice cream in front of them*

“Talk to me whenever youre ready, okay?”

#naomiandbennettknowall

naomi loving when bennett gets into his zone and cant stop talking about the things hes passionate about 

bennett getting embarrassed about it but naomi telling him how happy it makes her and he almost considers talking more

almost.

 naomi rants when shes passionate about something too and when bennett listens to her he never wants it to end

she lovess watching him cool

One time naomi was so tired she was on the verge of passing out so bennett sat her down and told her he would make something for her

So shes watching him in the kitchen as he rolls up his sleeves and unbuttons the top of his shirt and naomi finds it so hot she nearly faints

Another time bennett was sitting in front of her watching her study

A couple strands of hair fall onto her face but she just blows them out of her face and tucks them behind her ear

She looks up at catches him staring, so she gives him a small smile and goes back to work

And bennetts heart just goes 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

staying on the phone with each other even when they have nothing to say

he only openly laughs when theyre in private and naomi doesnt mind. if anything it feels like he saves his laughs just for her and she loves that they have things that only belong to them and no one else

She thinks has a beautiful laugh

late night conversations 

both of them sprawled out on the couch

Her head in his lap, her leg thrown over the head of the couch. Both of them just on their phones or reading a book

they admire each other

 they would drop everything to listen each other speak and theyd pay more attention to each others words than they would in class

Not much pda

naomi and bennett have passion for eachother, they just dont need to flaunt to know what they have

they absolutely will flaunt if they want to (especially when jealous hehe)

but thats the thing, they can do whatever the hell they want and no one can stop them

🟢 3M when jealous/protective

disclaimer: im not a dancer in any way. all i did was spend an hour looking up different styles of dance and their requirements. if i happen to be wrong on anything blease correct me!

naomi-  contemporary 

- its such an emotional style of dance, i can see her releasing her bottled up emotions through this style of dance and if you watched naomi dance you would cry. hard. and you wouldnt even realize because you’d be so captivated. i think the floornomi stans would be happy with this style

heres a gif of how i imagined naomi dancing at first:  

bennett- figure skating

because,,, bennett,, cool? ice???? i thought it was funny okay but also  figure skating is so technical and strict but still so freeing, i feel like this style helps bennett release his pressure of being the leader all the time while also being in control, if that makes sense?  its so elegant and graceful, which i think is perfect for bennett. No one knows he's a figure skater and it will stay that way. It's his personal form of escape and it wouldn't mean as much to him if it didn't feel like it was his and no one else's

 (i was gonna do ballet for bennett bc its just as technical and graceful but it felt a little restricting for him because i feel like in a life where hes only seen as the leader or personal wallet or the therapist/advice friend who knows everything he would want to let go from the pressure as a figure skater,)

When hes destressing he doesnt do the extravagant tricks or anything, he just skates and skates in circles, going around his rink (what, did you think he WOULDNT have a personal ice rink?) because the general skating makes him feel like hes running away from his stress. Sometimes he uses ice skating as a way for him to focus on whats on his mind without distractions. Other times he skates to escape. Either way, ice skating is how he releases stress and pressure

jordan- hip hop/funk  

- i mean, come on. look at jordan.  look at this style of dance. now look me in the eyes and tell me it isnt perfect i dare you. its  so versatile, he could show so much of himself through it. plus his stage presence would be SO FUCKING FIRE YOU CANT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF HIM AND HE KNOWS IT

declan- breakdance  

- declan would 100% show off his cool breakdancing tricks and act all innocent about it. (i.e. random backflips) its a pretty difficult style but he would be a natural at it. its the perfect combination of energy, passion and control, just like decca (also a b s)

they come across a pair of salsa dancers dancing on the sidewalk with a boom box playing music next to them

The dancers were encouraging passerbys to join

Why? Idk lol just go with it

I know nothing about salsa by the way so don’t come for me

Jordan giving Naomi his puppy eyes

Naomi being used to it and saying no and trying to walk the other direction but Jordan grabs her hand and pulls her back

She turns to look at him, her hand stretched and held by his, Aladdin style

“Do you trust me?”

Normally Naomi would say no and leave him in the dust but in that moment

She notices a ray of light had just passed through the leaves of a tree behind them and struck his face, highlighting the little gold flecks in his eyes and the tiny freckles running across his cheeks

She sighs and agrees to dance

“She said yes everyone!”

“Shut up”

They join the dancers who have now convinced several other couples to dance with them

Jordan, still holding naomis hand, raises it and delicately places another hand on her waist

Naomi, not knowing what to do with her other hand, puts it on his shoulder

Awkward eye contact but jordan practically has a wagging tail

Jordan starts making careful steps to allow Naomi to follow while he eyes the main couple to analyze what they’re doing

He’s wearing a shit-eating grin btw

He didn’t think he would actually convince her, neither did he know why naomi decided to go with him but he won’t question it

When he thinks he’s got the hang of it he looks back at Naomi to find her concentrating on his steps to make sure she doesn’t mess up

“Eyes up here, pervert”

She punches his arm

“Sorry”

Naomi was worried about embarrassing herself but she isnt anymore

she sees his confidence and she feels it rubbing off on her

And its a familiar feeling because she always feels a special kind of confidence when shes around jordan, its a type of confidence she could never find within herself before

A minute or 2 later Jordan leans in and whispers, “fall back”

The hairs on the back of her neck stand up because his face is so close to hers

She hesitates as first because she thinks that he might let her fall and make fun of her but decided to screw it because that would be pretty funny

She falls back, letting a leg lift up

He wraps an arm around her waist to keep her steady as he leans over her

His other is clasping hers

He’s not grinning anymore, he’s concentrating hard on holding her so that she doesn’t fall.

He would never let her fall

He’s watching his arm, partly to hold her and partly to avoid looking her in the eyes because he would get distracted and drop her instantly

Naomis staring at him though, in awe of how careful he is

She’s also staring at him because Serious Jordan is Hot but she won’t admit that

she has another one of those moments

This time she notices how perfectly his hair falls over his eyes and bounces around

He pulls her back up and they continue dancing, his smile reforming

They’re not actually salsa dancing by the way they’re just moving around to the beat and holding each other, occasionally spinning and laughing

People walking by can’t help but notice the chemistry between them

A crowd forms around the couples, but most people have their eyes on Jordan and Naomi

Jordan’s staring at her, his grin softening to an adoring smile as he takes in her face

Her hearts still pounding from the way he held her

Right when she relaxes she sees the way Jordan’s looking at her, as if she were the only person in the world

In that moment to jordan, she was

Because jordan admires everything about naomi and whatever he thinks he lacks, he sees it in her

And it all shows on his face as he looks at her

’dammit’ she thinks, her heart racing again

But now she’s looking at him the way he’s looking at her and she doesnt realize it

Neither of them can seem to look away so now they’re just gazing at each other

And theyre kind of just lost in eachothers eyes

The other couples notice and sigh dreamily

“Ah, young love”
