when a crushing and helpless bruce yamada seeks aid from an unaware and breezy y/n, he suggests they fake date in order to make his crush jealous. what could go wrong? they were friendly, and y/n was beautiful. bruce’s plan is fool proof. at least that’s what he thinks.

a/n: for the sake of the story, everyone is the same age (16-17) and in junior year of high school, except gwen, who is a freshman. and the grabber doesn't exist because i said so.

❦

"um, can we talk?"

you stood there, mouth opening and closing multiple times. about a million thoughts ran through your head, each making you more nervous. your mouth felt dry, your hands felt clammy, and your cheeks were burning.

"y/n?" bruce's soft voice called, snapping you out of your trance. "you okay?"

"yeah, yeah, i'm okay, i just, um," you stumbled, raising your embarrassment level from one to ten, "yeah, let's talk."

bruce let out a sigh of relief, swaying side to side as he waited for you to step out. "wanna go to the library? or we can go to the old playground, if you want."

you two decided on the playground, seeing as the weather was perfect for it. your hair billowed with the wind, and bruce tried not to stare at your rosy cheeks.

you sat down on one of the rusty swings, kicking a few rocks as you did so. bruce took a seat on the one next to yours, watching as the birds flew around, their wings spread out beautifully.

it was a bit odd, sitting there with bruce, neither of you saying a single word, but also rather comforting. it had been a while since the two of you were in one another's company like this, and you had to admit that you missed it.

"so, i talked to clara." bruce spoke up, looking over at you.

your heart sped up, and you found yourself praying for the worst. "oh, you did? what did she say?"

bruce fixed his posture, straightening up. "well, she didn't have a crush on me."

"she didn't?" your face scrunched in confusion. "but then, who did she have a crush on— oh." bruce snickered at this, covering his mouth with his hand. "me? clara liked me?"

"yes, she did." bruce smiled comfortingly.

"me? really?" you grinned lightly, making bruce a little nervous.

"oh, do you like girls too?" he asked. "because if you do, that's totally okay, and i won't tell anyone if you don't want me to."

"no, bruce, it's okay, i don't— well, it's not that." you interrupted, placing your hand on his forearm. "i actually have to talk to you about something."

"wait, let me go first." bruce cut in urgently. "i've wanted to tell you this for a while now, actually, but i always stopped myself because i was too scared, but y'know, i'm not scared anymore, so, yeah!"

you blinked multiple times, hoping he could see that you were beyond confused.

"right, sorry." he said, running his hand across his face in exasperation. "okay. here goes, y/n." you placed your chin in your hand, letting bruce know that you were intrigued. "i like you. like, really, like you, like, it's almost embarrassing how much i like you, and it really killed me when you ended the plan and left, because i was gonna tell you right then and there, but, yeah."

your jaw dropped, and you were frozen in your seat. your mouth couldn't form any sort of sounds, even though all you wanted to do in that moment was throw your arms around him and tell him the feeling is mutual.

in reaction to your silence— and expression— bruce's shoulders fell, and he began to stand up. "but i totally understand that you don't feel the same way, and that's okay, we can stay friends—"

"what? i don't want to be friends!" you exclaimed, kicking another rock.

bruce stood up, beginning to walk away. "well, that's real nice. you could've just said 'no thanks' or something."

"no!" you said, grabbing his hand quickly. "what i mean is, i like you too. the feeling is mutual, or whatever— look, the point is, i really like you, bruce. in the most embarrassing way possible, i like you. so, no, i don't want to be 'just friends' anymore."

bruce grinned, taking a step towards you. "you mean it? you're not just saying this out of pity, are you?"

"bruce!" you chuckled, slapping his arm gently.

his smile widened, and he picked you up in his arms tightly, spinning you around happily. "after we started the whole fake-dating plan it was like i never even liked clara. i like you. like, really like you."

"well, why didn't you just tell me that?" you said.

"i didn't want to ruin this. i really love hanging out with you, and i didn't want to lose you." bruce smiled sheepishly.

"aw, that's so corny." you teased.

"yeah, i guess you're right." bruce shrugged. "well, do you wanna be my girlfriend? for real this time?"

"well, duh!" you grinned, wrapping your arms around him. "vance is gonna be thrilled to hear this, y'know?"

"was that sarcastic or serious?" bruce asked— genuinely curious.

"serious, for the most part." you said. "he's been listening to me talk about this for a while now, so, i might owe him a couple of pinball games and slushies."

"sucks to be you, then." bruce teased, earning an elbow to the rib from you. "fine, i'll help out." he placed his hands on your shoulders, turning you slightly to face him. "can i kiss you for real this time?"

you nodded, eyes fluttering closed as bruce leaned in slowly. somehow, it felt both the same and different than the kiss you shared at donna's birthday party. your lips moved in sync with his, sending a wave of electricity down your spine.

the two of you pulled apart shortly after, resting your foreheads together. bruce was as giddy as a little kid on christmas, and you were beyond happy. everything was perfect, and now all you had left to do was explain everything to your families.

your parents were beyond confused as you and bruce explained everything. wyatt and allie couldn't have cared less about the explanation, but allie was thrilled to have her puzzle buddy back.

mr. and mrs. yamada's expressions were blank when you and bruce sat down and talked to them. amy was chewing gum with the most judgmental look on her face. nonetheless, they all understood.

you took the liberty of explaining to vance, finney, and robin, who all cheered for you supportively. finney and robin did a happy dance while vance brought you in for a hug— something almost as rare as a shooting star.

going back to school on monday was somewhat exciting for you and bruce. over the weekend, word had spread that the two of you had gotten back together. (you all figured it would be best not to explain the fake-dating situation to anyone else.)

you walked in with griffin— who made it a habit in his year of sixth grade to walk along with you to stay close. once he walked off with his friends, you made your way to your locker, where bruce was waiting.

"hey, you!" he called, grinning widely. one of his hands held the chunky english textbook, and the other was held out for you to hold, which you did, of course.

"you're awfully giddy today." you pointed out, making his smile grow even more.

"it's not fake anymore, y/n/n." he whispered, leaning closer to you. "this isn't fake anymore, of course i'm giddy."

the rest of the day went by exactly like this, with you and bruce by one another's side whenever possible, and vance rolling his eyes at every cute thing you did.

during lunch, you spotted donna and clara eating together at the old picnic tables. you noticed the hand-holding, but chose not to say anything as it would be rude.

when you caught donna's eye, she grinned widely, all but confirming your suspicion. you were happy that donna and clara were together, they both deserved to be happy.

later that day, you went over to donna's house, where she spilled the beans about her and clara. "yes, we're dating, but we don't want to tell anyone yet! you know how rude people can be, and besides, we've only been dating for a couple of days, it's still new." she gushed, her cheeks a tinge of pink.

lucas wouldn't stop teasing bruce all day, saying 'i told you so' every five seconds. at one point, vance told him to 'shut up about it, already,' which ended the playful banter.

"hey, y/n," bruce turned to you in physics class, "will you give me the answer to number nine? please?"

you raised an eyebrow at him, only receiving pleading eyes in return. "fine, but, just this once, okay?"

We don't see much of Donna (since the story primarily takes place in the Grabber’s basement) but do you have any headcanons for her?

YES I DO

She’s definitely a converse girlie. She’s got every colour possible and she likes to mix and match them sometimes (Her fav is her red converse tho)

She’s kind of a Crystal girl. She definitely carries black obsidian with her everywhere she goes

Her fav subject is English. She likes writing and putting words onto paper is easier than saying them aloud

She presses flowers and keeps them all in a notebook

I just know she likes astrology. Her and Finney info dump abt Astronomy and astrology to each other

She likes bugs. Not enough to have them as pets but enough to help them out instead of killing them when she finds them in her house. Sometimes she even leaves them there to do their own thing

Girlie has anxiety

She plays acoustic guitar. She finds it comforting

Her and Gwen talk shit about the boys together

She likes Fleetwood mac

I kinda wish we saw more of Donna she was so sweet

I like to think that by touching the phone, the ghost boys lost their chance at eternal rest, so they were left wandering the earth. So Robin stays by Finney's side just like he told him on the last call.

Robin when Finney started dating Donna:

Headcanon of everyone's reaction to Drakky? (Let's just assume that everyone's friends already)

I am the worst responder every because this has been in my inbox for a month and a half, I'm so sorry.

This is a reference to my TBP Character Head Canons which mentions Vance having a pet snake.

Bruce is a little nervous, but wants to impress Vance and picks Drakky up like it's no big deal.

He has the warmest hands of the group and Drakky very much likes to fall asleep in them.

(Vance is definitely impressed.)

Billy will hesitantly pet his back and oooh over how silky his scales are.

He tries to offer Drakky bits of the meat from his sandwich and tries to not be offended when Drakky turns away

Robin thought he'd be more like the snakes from Sssssss (1973) and is a little bummed out to see he's docile

Like Bruce though, Robin picks Drakky up to impress someone and he grins when Finn looks at him in awe

Finney will only hold Drakky if Robin places him in his hands and stands close

He doesn't sneeze when holding Drakky, which is a win for allergy-ridden Finney

Griffin is way too excited to watch Drakky eat a mouse and begs Vance to let him watch

Will bring small bugs and drop them in the cage when no one is looking in the hopes that Drakky will eat them

Gwen catches on and sneaks in with Griffin to watch him react to the spider she drops in

She has no problem holding Drakky and goes on to ask her dad for a snake

Donna was the one who helped Vance set up the cage. She helped him understand the importance of temperature and light and proper bedding.

She considers herself to be an aunt to him and accompanies Vance to the pet store to ensure he buys the right bulbs and water dishes when they need to be replaced.

Donna is not interested in holding Drakky, but she waves and blows kisses whenever she leaves.

Finney: I've been up since three in the morning Donna: You know, they say that when you're awake at that time that someone is thinking about you! Finney: Who would be thinking about me at three in the morning? Robin, sweating in the background: ......

This scene

But with

[f1inl3ey]

Finney: *has a crush on Donna canonly*

The fandom: Finney don't cheat on Robin

As a fandom we should just make finney in love with both Donna and robin

[beehindblueeyes]

It irks me sometimes with the way folks write the boys being/sounding more mature than they should be, especially when it comes to shipping stuff. I feel like, at the ages they are, the romantic stuff would be more cute and awkward and not as "romantic" as it would be with young adults. idk

No I definitely get what you mean. I think it’s because the fandom is predominantly teen/preteen girls? (From what I’ve seen from instagram, some here etc - not that I know 100%) Not that they aren’t kids too but there’s a need to sound more mature in a sense and a — misunderstanding of how boys are. Kids or teens. We’ve joked around it before but true “has never been around a middle school boy behavior”.

I can get wanting to seem mature for story telling purposes but I 100% agree. With kids that young it’s awkward and more importantly- usually puppy love. Where it’s really strong then barely anything? Sort of a mess of hormones and “oh this is what we do when people like eachother!”

I’ve talked about it briefly but finney and Donna are a fucking fantastic example of “romance” at that age. A awkward and really powerful crush that makes you act weird that results in “dating” , holding hands and a peck on the cheek etc . (I talked before but it “gets in the way of gay” so a lot of the —usually female— fans hate her for a dumb , very 2014, reason)

At Robin’s funeral.

Finney after wanting a moment alone at the coffin: Oh, honey…

Finney: Think death will get you out of this relationship?

Donna: What are you doing?

Finney, trying to climb into the coffin: “TIL DEATH DO US PART” MY ASS.
