#dyn; tell me that you love me even if it's fake ( chloe&rachel )

[etinarcaediaego]

@tornarts​ liked for a starter!

Chloe half-jogged, half-speed walked up to Rachel in an attempt to actually catch up to her while appearing aloof. Whether it worked was wholly up for debate. Rachel had been in one of her moods, which seemed more and more frequent as of late, but Chloe hoped lulling her into a casual conversation might ease the tension. 

“Hey, stranger.” Chloe curved her lips in what she hoped was an aloof, relaxed grin, but even she could feel the tightness of the force in her expression. “Thought you took off for good this time. Can I at least get a play-by-play of your latest adventure?”

What do you guys think?

@demonseul​ asked,  “  you want to tell me something—  i can see it.  so you might as well speak.  ”

Chloe sucked in a breath, first to give herself time to talk, and secondly to try and calm the immediate spark of irritation that ignites in her chest in response to Rachel’s tone. She lets out the breath more aggressively than necessary, palming the back of her neck. 

“Oookay, Rach, can we not—” She grit her teeth, knowing if she asked not to fight, exactly where it would lead. “I’m just not feeling the whole Vortex scene tonight. I just thought we could just chill. Smoke, drink... Whatever. But if you wanna go, that’s fine, I can find other people.”

@inthiskingdom​ (s.c.)

chloe wasn’t sure at first what had jarred her from her sleep, before her still-heavy gaze finds rachel climbing through the window. her first instinct is to excited to see her, it’s been days since chloe could get so much as a text back, but the anger and accusations start to boil off any initial joy she’d felt. giving a sleepy half-smile, chloe lifts the hand not supporting her head in a wave.

“long time no see. thought you died.” sitting up with a huff, chloe asks, “what’s on the agenda today? or is it a ‘getting high and losing our minds’ kind of day?”

Your Rachel + My Chloe

Most of the acquaintances Chloe has, she met through Rachel dragging her to parties

Chloe says “I love you” to Rachel literally any time they’re parting ways for the day/night, hanging up the phone, w/e. 

Chloe wanted a matching star tattoo with Rachel’s, but Rachel talked her out of it because it was bad luck.

Will stay up all night talking or texting about conspiracy theories

Any time Rachel needs a good story for a party, Chloe hypes up the “battle scar” on her arm with various crazy stories of how it got there.

Applies to Both

Rachel took Chloe’s virginity and you can pry that from my cold, dead hands.

Chloe is Rachel’s model for any photography project.

Chloe jokingly proposes with anything she can find that fits (twine, wire, string, a ring pop) to the point that it’s a running gag between them for Chloe to drop to one knee and propose and Rachel tries to respond as dramatically as she physically can

By 2013 Rachel is basically living in Chloe’s room with her whenever she needs somewhere to sleep, and uses her dorm as her place to go when she needs to be alone.

Whether it’s in Rachel’s car or Chloe’s, Rachel controls the radio

Your Chloe + My Rachel

Running joke of “Nice Rachel/Chloe we’re having, huh?” 

More than once talked about hitchhiking down to California, decided not to because serial killers

Rachel has a habit of braiding Chloe’s hair when she’s bored or stoned. 

Whenever she wants to disappear for a while (to see Frank or Mark or Whatever) Rachel leaves a lil note on Chloe’s window sill reassuring her she’ll come back.

Rachel likes to bring Chloe to parties because she likes to watch how Chloe interacts with people that aren’t her

“Do you want to feel them? They’re kicking up a storm, right now.” — rachel, @ chloe !

Chloe’s eyes shift from the TV to Rachel’s belly, and then to Rachel’s face. They try to mask their immediate eagerness to feel the baby kick, and try to quell the abrupt parental feeling that rises in them. Biologically, it’s not even their kid. But it’s hard to remember that, when they were holding Rachel’s hair back during morning sickness, taking her to doctors appointments, and helping set up the nursery little by little. They feel like a family. And Rachel’s expression tells Chloe she already knows that, and it’s pointless to deny it. Scooting over, Chloe teases, “Uh, duh!”

Putting their hand carefully on Rachel’s round belly, as if she might break if Chloe’s not gentle enough, they immediately grin as the baby kicks, hard. “Damn, little dude’s a tough fucker. Oh, don’t give me that look, it’s not like it will know what I’m saying.”

“I’m pregnant..” — rachel, @ chloe ! lmao.

YOU’RE WHAT? ( accepting! )

Chloe snorts, rolling her eyes. Rachel is a shit prankster, even if she is a great actress. There’s no fucking way. They sit up, shoving her shoulder. But getting a better look at her face, Chloe’s blood runs cold, and they move to face Rachel. For a minute, they’re speechless. A thousand questions race through their mind, their emotions leapfrogging between furious betrayal and concern. Sputtering, Chloe grabs her shoulders, eyebrows furrowing. Studying Rachel for a minute, they finally let go, leaning back with a scoff. Silence falls, and after a beat, Chloe leans forward.

“I have no fucking idea what to think, and I have so many questions.” Chloe’s eyes squeeze shut, and they sigh deeply. “But you are my best fucking friend, and I’m here for you. No matter what.”

“I’m seeing someone else..” — rachel, @ chloe again !

YOU’RE WHAT? ( accepting! )

Chloe’s jaw tightens, but otherwise they just stare ahead, taking a long drag off their cigarette. How could they be so fucking stupid? Rachel was… Well, Rachel. Gorgeous, charismatic, sexy. Chloe never should have bought her bullshit about Chloe being her number one. Or maybe they were, but with a long line of people after them. They can’t tell which would be worse: being on a list with a dozen others, or not being on the list at all. Their thoughts spiral, picking apart every time Rachel had said they mattered to her. Every time the two had been affectionate. Every word to each other. After what feels like an eternity, they grind  something out in monotone.

“Who?” It’s simple, spoken dully. Blue eyes flick upward, finally, to Rachel’s face, and they repeat it, spitting it with more rage. “Who the fuck is  it, Rachel?”

❝ i feel like i can’t tell you anything. ❞ / for chloe

things that are hard to hear. ( accepting! )

Rachel’s words flood Chloe with so many emotions it’s hard to discern just one, besides validation. All the months of Rachel pulling away, being absent, or being sketchy as hell when she could be bothered to hang out suddenly wasn’t just Chloe being paranoid or clingy. Rachel really was hiding shit from her. The silence swells between them, and Chloe’s positive Rachel is just waiting for her to blow up in face. But they’d done that so many times over the last few months, only to have Rachel calm her and sweep things under the rug, that Chloe doesn’t bother.

Looking over at Rachel, their expression hard to read, Chloe deadpans,

“How much were you ever really telling me, anyway, Rach?”

@modelepunk​ asked “you can’t believe a word she says — rachel, @ chloe !”

Where do you think she is right now, Chloe? Give you a hint— Not wherever she told you she is. Victoria’s words rattle around in Chloe’s brain, but infinitely more nerve-wracking is the sinking feeling in her stomach that says Victoria’s right. More and more often, it’s gotten difficult to brush off Rachel’s excuses or no-shows. 

Chloe knows, though, if she gets protective or territorial (like she fights against being any time anyone looks at Rachel), it’ll just cause a fight and push Rachel away faster. However long they have left before Rachel ditches her for good, Chloe wants to spend it blissfully ignorant and in denial about the expiration date of their friendship before she gets cast aside. Heaving a smoke-billowing sigh, Chloe flicks ash from her cigarette and hitches the sides of her mouth up into a smile. 

“Oh, c’mon, dude.” Chloe laughs, more of a half-effort chuckle. “Like I’d ever take the bait from any of those Vortex dicks.”

“I want to know why you’re hurt.” — rachel, @ chloe !

🌺 ( accepting! )

“No you don’t.” In the dim bar, seemingly only lit by cheesy neon Budweiser signs and mismatched wall sconces, Chloe’s eyes flick from Rachel’s face to the biker looking guy behind her, watching all of this. He’s way too old for her, easily in his thirties or forties. The way he’s looking at her, still, makes Chloe’s skin crawl. Sure, pulling Rachel away mid-liplock and yelling at her had been an overreaction. But they’d come together. It was supposed to be… Something. For them. Not for Rachel to play jailbait with random creeps. And being called out on being hurt by it was even more embarrassing. “Forget it, Rach. If this is how you wanna spend your night, with this prick, that’s your business.”

“Don’t–Don’t get mad at me,” Chloe laughs lightly, awkwardly, and thumbs the edge of their nose, looking away. There’s no way Rachel won’t be offended. But after the short, intense friendship they’ve had, Chloe owes her honesty. “Do you think that’s possible? To… Not want to impress everyone you meet, I mean?”

Chloe grinned, feeling incredibly proud of herself. It wasn’t that bad, was it, implying that Sean Prescott and Principal Wells spent nights after the school closed up hooking up? Or, as Chloe had put it for extra ick-factor, making love? Okay, yes, it was bad. But Rachel had definitely said worse.

“Not compared to you.” Chloe covers their eyes, as if trying to shut out the memory as she mutters, “Step-ladder.”
