Her stomach growled on the way home from the daycare, spotting the diner and deciding to pick up something to take home. She hoped they had small portions, knowing there would be some regret at the end of this. Frannie went up to the counter, taking a seat and spotting a familiar face. “Hey, Juliette! I didn’t know you worked here.”

@julietterussx

Seeing the girl, she looked all too familiar, before she placed the face with the girl in the bathroom whom she proceeded to get wasted with after their bonding. It was a surprise to say the least, and she quickly found a smile after adding, “I just started here actually. I needed something...stable in my life—so...here I am. It’s nice to see you again!”

His thumbs ran over her knuckles, a large grin plastered on his face that didn’t seem to be leaving anytime soon. “Good thing I have a job that I’m decently good at. And you look like you’re doing well at yours too!” Anthony couldn’t be happier for the both of them. Not only from making it this far, but for getting parts of their lives together. “Certainly, not I. We’re defying all odds by making it this far, not that I’m complaining in the slightest.” He chuckled, tilting his head. “It’s us, I can’t be surprised anymore. But, I am happy I get to have this weird date with you and celebrate today.” He looked around the diner, “let’s hope it stays this slow too that way you can sit with me for most of it. Or I’m going to end up ordering a ton of food just so you have to come to the table.”

“That’s really good!” She started excitedly. With the way they both were, sometimes it left her mind boggled in how they both had come so far. Perhaps it was sheer dumb luck, but she would take it where she could. “I don’t think I could ever complain about it. Sometimes I just feel like...I’m the luckiest girl alive. You make me...feel alive.” Juliette uttered, easily giving into the emotions at play. “It’s us, but also it’s this town we’re in, all the situations life has thrown at us...everything. And now—you and me, in a diner, having a real date.” Or as real as one would get for them it seemed. “As long as you leave a good tip at the end of the night, I’ll happily wait on you my entire shift.”

He chuckled, looking down at the suit. Anthony didn’t think anything of it, only wanting to see her as soon as he could. “I didn’t want to waste anymore of this day not being with you if I didn’t have too.” He held the flowers out to her, almost forgetting them once she sat down with him. “My hot date is you, hopefully. I know you’re working and I’ll try not to distract you. But by the time you get off, Valentine’s Day will be over and I don’t want to miss our first one. So, I will order somethings and sit here, and you can join me when you’re able too.”

As she took the flowers, Jules let her smile blossom. “Thank you.” She graciously added as she looked over the bouquet, before setting them aside to grab at his hands from across the table. “I would love to be your hot date, and I can’t legally kick you out as long as you’re a paying customer.” There was a soft chuckle and a sly wink she gave back. “Our first Valentine’s Day together, who would have guess we would have made it this long?” After a pause she glanced around, glad that at least for now it was slow right before the big dinner rush. “This might be the weirdest date I’ve gone on, but I’m so glad that you’re here.”

Work might have gotten in the way to make any concrete plans, but Anthony wasn’t going to let it get in the way of seeing her. On his way to the diner, he picked up flowers, the last bit he was able to find on short notice. He walked into the diner in his suit from work, sitting in the section she seemed to be working in. Sliding into the booth he perked up when he saw her, a large grin spread across his face. “Hello, beautiful. Fancy seeing you here.”

@julietterussx

There was a way to distract her from everything that seemed to be going on lately, and that was to throw herself into a new job. Waitressing certainly wasn’t the best, but with the holiday bringing in the fair share of people, she couldn’t complain much with some simple glances and a classic uniform that helped serve looks, Juliette found perks in the position. And, once she spotted Anthony slide into his own booth, she couldn’t help but take a break to see him. “You’re the one who looks fancy in here, with your suit and attitude. Got a hot date tonight or something?”

“No? I’m happy they made me introduce myself to you. Although, I think eventually I would’ve sucked it up and spoke to you anyways.” Somehow, he couldn’t imagine what town would have been like without her. It felt big admitting that to himself, even if he wouldn’t admit it to her right now. His hands rested on her thighs, “I’m not sure about matching crazies, but you sure are being fiesty tonight.” The alcohol could be to blame with the amount he figured she drank. “You’re like a baby dragon, fiery and cute.” His own consumption of alcohol left him rambling without really knowing what he was saying, her kisses only distracting him more. The hands on her thighs slide higher, slipping under the dress she wore. 

“See, they made you—like we’re supposed to be together or something.” Jules let it out, the fated destinies seeming too coincidental to be accidental. Still, as she pushed further up, it didn’t take long for her thoughts to be subverted to something else. Grinning back down at him as she relaxed on top, she added, “If I’m your baby dragon, then you’re my teddy bear...no—you’re my little panda bear, because you have this whole dual thing about you. And you’re super cuddly.” She chuckled back, before leaning down to kiss him once again, drunk rambling right back at him, not sure if she would even remember this part of their night. It didn’t take long for her hands to start working at his pants though to help him slide out of them despite his distraction.

“Unless we get some sort of surgery, I don’t think our faces are going to change much. But, we’re not them like you said. The major difference alone is that we’re two very different people from them.” A light chuckle escaped him, the reasoning behind it coming from a place most likely deemed unconventional. “I watch a lot of television. I’d say it’s gotten me pretty far with some things. It must be a good thing we both like each other very much. We can deal with each other’s antics.” An eyebrow raised as his head lifted slightly, getting a better look at her as she got up. “You don’t ha–” Anthony abruptly stopped, her new position giving away where he hoped this might lead, even if it hadn’t been his intention in the first place. “If you take off mine, does that mean I can take off yours? It only seems fair.”

“Do you ever feel forced to be with me though? Because of them and how we look like them?” She might have been plastered, but her conversation with Ben seemed at the forefront of her mind, even as she sat on top of Anthony. “I’ll have to show you how to work youtube sometime if you’re into learning specific things. And I think it’s more of us matching each other’s crazies. You always meet me exactly where I need you to.” Glancing down at him, her hands slowly lifted his shirt, unbuttoning it as she went along, before she began trailing kissed up his chest towards his neck. “I want to do this. And I want you.” She nodded slowly as she lifted her head to meet his gaze with a slim smirk.

“I don’t think they’d let us live that way. We might look like their parents, but that doesn’t mean they’d take care of us like them. Plus, Hooky here has to go outside for potty breaks. I might be a slob sometimes, we can’t go that far.” A standard somehow existed, even if the thought of laying in bed with her appealed to him in the basic sense of the term. “I watch a lot of movies. I’ve learned a thing or two. It’s because I’m persuasive, right? That’s why you’re in my bed.” He joked, rolling on his back. “These clothes are uncomfortable but I’m too lazy to get up.”

“I don’t think I’d want to live like that, as awful as the rest of the world may be. It’s still nice to just get up, you know? Plus, I don’t want to look like their parents anymore. We’re not them, and it just makes everything weirder. Don’t worry, we’ll still take out this cute little guy whenever he needs it.” She said, letting a hand rub behind the pup’s ear momentarily. “You have made a lot of progress, I will say. Very philosophical. And maybe a little persuasive. But I also think that’s because I like you very much too.” She looked over at him, gaining an idea. “Let me help you out of them then.” She pushed herself up to sit up, before crawling and letting a leg settle on both sides of his waist. “It’s the least I can do after you’ve done nothing but give me what I wanted tonight.”

Hooky laid next to him, one hand drunkenly petting at the small dog. He closed his eyes for a moment, shaking his head. “No we don’t. We’d make the rules, we wouldn’t have to do anything.” Anthony knew it wouldn’t work like she said, eventually needing to get up for food or other necessities. His eyes opened again, memorizing her features as he wanted to remember this moment in the morning. Ant’s free arm reached out, pulling her towards him. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?” He smiled, kissing her lightly. “I wasn’t worried. You were the only person I wanted to be with too, but we needed that time apart for us to enjoy this one even more.”

“We could become true slobs. Have Ben and Russ bring us food, and just live bedridden for the rest of our miserable lives.” It sounded awful, but as she laid there next to him, thinking about the ridiculous nature, she realized that it wouldn’t be so bad if it was next to him for the rest of her days. As she inched forward, scooting herself along with his pull, she only smiled back to him. “For someone so naive, you sure say a lot of really smart things sometimes.” She kissed back easily and falling harder and harder. “I guess it was worth it seeing that I’m in your bed now.”

A smile spread across his face, easily agreeing with her request. “I can make both of those things happen. Although, we have to make it to the house first.” He chuckled, leading her in the direction of the exit. After his talk with the guy at the bar, all he wanted was to spend the rest of the night with her alone with Hooky. The walk home felt like nothing, timing passing rather quickly with their stumbles and his giddiness of finding everything hilarious. His bed never looked more comfortable, removing his jacket and shoes before laying face down on it, the dog excitedly barking having him reach over the side to bring him onto the bed. “Can we just not leave this bed forever?” He mumbled into the sheets, finally rolling over to look at her.

The relief that came with being able to kick off her heels came as she dragged herself across Anthony’s place, losing a few inches to the shoes, but maintaining her stance before stumbling into the bed at his side. Laying on her side to look back at him, she whispered, “I’d like that, though eventually we’re gonna have to get up, you know that, right?” She was tired, but she also wanted to stay awake so long as she could with him. “I do like you. That was never a question. And...when I was drinking after I told you I needed space, you were the only person I wanted to be with.”

“Oh, of course! We’ll have to exchange numbers so I can send it. Plus if we have a way to get a hold of each other, we can hang out again.” Frannie never believed in having some sort of cap on her friends list, hoping the other felt the same. “You’re going to learn very quickly, I could never turn down any form of drinks. Typically goes rather well depending on the level  of alcohol I’ve already consumed.”

“Of course!” Juliette was happy to have found someone to help her make herself feel okay about her decisions, and seeing as she was ready to make similar decisions, it seemed like she was on board. “Well, what are we waiting for! There’s this special drink around here, and you’ll get drunk in no time flat. Trust me.”

Elwynn hung up and went to the event and waited for juliette after getting a drink and saying a few hellos. He sighed and sat own at a table as he kept an eye on everyone, not trusting anyone else.

It hadn’t been long into the celebration when Juliette arrived, trying to maintain herself cordially, but once her eyes spotted Elwynn across the room, a smile appeared. It had been a while since she had seen him, so to try and sneak up behind him left her chuckling as she approached. “You still got a dance left in you?” She asked back, holding a hand out.

“The grass is only greener if you actually reach the other side. We might have to live with them, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep striving for perfection, right?” The same thinking she tried to get away with since perfection couldn’t be reached without some sort of consequence. A smile came across her face, “It’s the small things that count.” Frannie placed her phone in her handbag, fully turning towards the other. “I’m Frannie.”

“Perfection, right.” She said, the word repeating in her head as though it was some obtainable reality, something that she needed to strive for, despite not eve sure what her idea of the word meant. “I’m Juliette, and you’re going to have to text that pic to me. It was too cute.” She stated with an easier smile, before adding, “And...do you want to go get a shot with me or something. It’s the least I can do. You’ve kind of turned my whole night around.”

“Auto-pilot can always be turned off. Maybe we just need to find something out of the ordinary for you to do that doesn’t feel…routine?” He suggested, only wanting to make whatever was bothering her a little bit better. Anthony nodded, “Okay, I can give you your space. As long as if you promise me to have a bit of fun. Later we can meet up again if you’re up for it.” He stood up, giving her a peck on the cheek before walking away to get himself another drink.

One turned into three, leaving him properly drunk and ready to spend the rest of the night at home. He stumbled around trying to find Jules, spotting her and throwing an arm around her shoulders as he reached her. “I know I said if you were up for it but…do you wanna get out of here? I think I’ve drank all the drinks I can.”

Maybe that’s exactly what she needed. Something so out of the ordinary to help her snap back into a real person. That’s what worked for Ben and Russell when they didn’t have their humanities on, and she felt pretty useless lately with her emotions, so it was as good a plan as any. She nodded back to him, letting herself get her breather she needed, and finding a new friend while she was at it, easily falling into a blackout bender, doing shots of tequila before she even began to wonder where Anthony was. At the sudden lunge of an arm around her frame, she looked to him and chuckled for what seemed like a solid minute before finally seizing up and letting herself practically lean into him. “I wanna go home.” She drunkenly murmured out in a soft voice. “I wanna go home with you and I wanna wake up with you.”

The phone was in front of her again, posting the picture on her Instagram without any hesitation. Frannie held her tongue, wanting to comment on the fact this is far from what she wanted to do on most days. This body practically forced on her repeatedly unless she wanted to go back to the confining walls of another rehab. “I appreciate that,” she stated a little solemnly, the phone vibrating in her hand causing her to push back the thoughts she’d done so well with hiding. A grin came upon her face as she looked at it, “Well, Jules, looks like you have a fan club already. If you needed anymore reassurance.”

“We just have to...live with our bodies, right? And the grass is always greener on the other side.” She teased, though fully aware that she felt self-conscious in her own skin these days. At Frannie’s next words however, Juliette expressed a slightly impressed look before fully smiling. “That is reassuring.” Maybe what she was doing wasn’t all that bay anyways. At least, not in her mind. Plus, if people liked it, how could she not continue. “It feels good.”
