Gateway Drug | Part Sixty-Eight
A/N: Okay, firstly I cannot apologize enough for the delay. I'm sorry for not posting when I planned on, I have no idea how I feel about this chapter, it's all over the place and I've honestly thought of erasing it and starting back over but that'd take even longer and I don't want to make you guys wait any more. I'm sorry for falling through on my assurance I'd post by Friday.
Timeline in case anyone is wondering, this chapter starts around the 18th of September (flashback is last couple days in July) and ends at the end of September.
I hope you guys like it, perfectly understandable if y'all don't and I will be trying harder next time. Thank you🖤
P.S.--I haven't forgotten about the "D" Viv gets tattooed on her, it's being mentioned in the next chapter.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE TAGGED
Tumblr media
I'm taking another bite of eggs, before an issue of Playboy is plopped down in front of me, into my food. 
I was expecting the cover to hit stands sooner, rather than later. We went back on tour the first of September, and the issue wasn't out until September 16, a couple days after getting back on tour from a separate break that took place a week and a half after our first break at the end of July did.
I'm on the cover, naked, and I hesitantly run my eyes up Doc's body to his eyes, giving an uneasy smile, knowing I'm in trouble. 
I swallow my food and he glares at me. 
Within ten minutes, he's got all of us back into another meeting. 
"Playboy?!" He's pacing the floor, throwing his hands up. "Y-You…" he trails off, the vein popping out on his forehead. 
I look around and notice everybody--Ross, Fred, Tommy, Vince, Mick, Rich--has got a copy of it, flipping through, including Nikki, and I feel my face heat up, slowly sliding down in my seat. 
"...Playboy!" Doc gets out again, before he starts laughing. 
"Was a staff meeting really necessary for this?" I ask him. 
"I mean, it could be worse." Fred tries to take up for me as my question is ignored. 
"Yeah, she could've went behind our backs and shot a porno." Vince adds, glancing at me. "...or did you do that, too?" 
Apparently I don't deny that quick enough because Doc is looking at me with an even more severe look. 
"Did you?!" He asks. 
"No?!" I argue, starting to get pissed. "I posed for Playboy, what's the big deal?" 
Doc starts laughing again. 
"What's the big deal? What's the big deal? What's the bi--what's the big deal?!" He pulls at his hair. "I am about to have a heart attack. I am about to have a heart attack. You--" he lets out a loud yell of frustration and we all look at each other. "--Are you trying to kill me, Viv?! 'Cause I feel like you are!"
"From a photography perspective, they're quite beautiful photos." Ross says positively.
"Yes, I for one want to express my gratitude and admiration for Saint Viv's--well, Dirty Stripper Viv's--contribution to the livelihood of many a jerking offs." Vince states. "Also would like to note," he looks at a particular picture of me before adding, "I've only imagined her doing this position but now that it's here on paper, I'd like her to demonstrate--slowly, in detail--exactly how she twisted hersel--"
"--Dude, shut up!" Tommy snaps, his hands over his eyes, his head back, and Vince grins at me, making me roll my eyes. 
It kind of scares me how quiet Nikki is as he calmly thumbs through his. 
"Okay." Doc takes a deep breath. "When did this happen?" He asks me.
"I got an offer in the mail, and took them up on it, and when we were in Chicago I went by their studio." I explain. "I still don't know what the big deal is. I thought it was the idea for rockstars and Playboy models to be together." 
Doc looks at me with flared nostrils before flipping through his magazine.
"Whose is this?" He asks, turning the magazine around to show me, his finger on Duff's bass. 
I just look at him, not knowing what to say. 
"I know what every bass of Nikki's looks like and it's got too many personalized ticks on it for it to be a random prop they tossed at you." He adds. 
The room is quiet for a moment.
"It's Duff's." Nikki says and Doc raises his brows. 
"The fuck is that?" He questions me. 
"Guns N' Roses bassist." Nikki informs him, his tone neutral.
I'm afraid to look at him, knowing it's gonna break my heart. 
"The band that you've been in my ear about bringing on the tour?"
Nikki let's out a confirming sigh and Doc looks at me. 
"So this kid's gonna bring this bass to play on tour, and everybody's gonna recognize it when they flip through your little stunt here," he waves the magazine, "and it's all gonna come together and they're gonna realize a few days after Vanity allegedly dropped a bombshell about her and Nikki supposedly having an affair--which is said to be bullshit--his wife comes out humping another man's fuckin' bass." He tells me and I roll my eyes. "You roll your eyes all you want. Vanity fucking fried all of us, and then you decided to toss us into the fucking fire. Not that I expect anything different from a goddamn Sixx at this point. You both know how to make shit worse than it already is." 
"I highly doubt they'll notice, Doc." Tommy cuts in again. 
"You stay out of this." Doc snaps at him. 
Another beat of silence goes by.
"Nikki? Your thoughts? You're her fucking husband. You helped kickstart this snowball of shit that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. What's your fucking opinion on her doing this? Am I gonna have to worry about you bending another girl over on stage and going to town in retaliation or what?" Doc sarcastically throws out there. "I mean nothing will fucking surprise my anymore. I just need to know what I need to prepare to clean up next." 
My heart pounds as I look at Nikki, liner smudged, tired eyes, glancing at me as he lets out a defeated sigh. 
"She's a grown woman, Doc." He surprisingly says and I widen my eyes in shock, as everyone else looks worried that Nikki's not screaming at me for it right now. 
Not yet, at least.
"That's it?" Doc asks him, raising his brows. "She didn't say a word about it, didn't give a warning, a heads up, nothing, and she comes out like this and you have absolutely nothing to fucking say?" 
Nikki just shrugs. 
"She just does whatever the hell she wants to do. Doesn't matter how I'd feel before, why does it matter what I feel like, now? Like I said, she's grown. Whatever she wants to do, she can do." He finishes, standing up to leave. 
"Nikki, are you fucking me right now?!" Doc complains as Nikki heads to the door. "You flip your shit over tiny stuff but your own wife does this without even telling you about it and you just brush it off?!"
"Just because she calls me 'daddy' doesn't mean I can act like her fucking father, Doc." Nikki sternly says and my face heats up. "We're not even together so why the fuck would I care what she does or who she does it with?" 
His bark was "I don't give a fuck" and "she can do whatever she wants", but a couple months later his bite was "you aren't worth a fucking thing which is why you had to get naked in a magazine to get validation in the first place" then proceeded to bare his teeth down further into my heart by adding, "just another pussy to unload in and get on to the next attention-humping slut." 
The next thing I knew, Duff was knocking him to the ground and the two of them started ripping into each other like dogs.
Once the meeting is over, after another hour of going back and forth, feeling like I was going to vomit from impending guilt, I'm getting back to my room and making a beeline for the toilet. 
I take a deep breath once I'm done, wiping the few tears from my cheeks. 
I don't feel bad for posing…the entire meeting it took everything not to confess that me posing naked with Duff's bass should be the least of their worries, compared to what other activities  I've gotten up to with him the last time the band had a couple days off and we went back to L.A. 
The sound of my room phone ringing pulls me out of my head
“Hello?” I answer.
“H-Hey.” I hear Tansy’s voice on the other end and I perk up.
“Hey, Tans, how’re you feeling?” I ask her, nervously.
“Good, um…” She lets out a soft sigh. “...I relapsed.”
I close my eyes for a moment, exactly like I did last week, and the week before, and the week before, and so on.
After Sparkie did his damage, Tansy promised to swear the bastard off. But within two weeks of her incident, she was back with him, only because her babysitters--Slash and Steven--left her unattended and she ran off to find him.
They’d find her, threaten Sparkler, bring her back home and the second they turned around long enough, she was gone again. 
Nikki had ordered them that she wasn't supposed to be around Sparkie because he had "accidentally" taken it too far while they were messing around…
Skylar squeals as tickle at her stomach, shampoo sticking her blonde hair straight up while Sharise runs a wash cloth over Sky's back.
When she's done, she's wringing the water out of it. 
"Sky, we gotta wash the shampoo out of your hair." I tell her.
"Nuh." She protests, shaking her head. 
"Skylar, we gotta get the shampoo out so we can get conditioner in your hair and get the tangles out."
"Nuh." She states, looking at us like we're crazy. 
"Don't be a diva like daddy." Sharise tell her, raising her brows. 
"Da-da?" 
"Da-da's golfing." She replies.
Skylar looks between us. 
"Nuh." She argues. "Beebee." She points at me. 
Sharise looks at me and hands me the little plastic cup she uses to rinse Sky's hair. 
"I'm gonna grab a towel from the couch." Sharise tells me. "Let Veevee rinse your hair." 
Skylar's cooperative, letting me get the shampoo from her hair and letting me put conditioner in and rinsing it out. 
When we're done, Sharise is picking Skylar up from the bath and wrapping her in her towel. 
The phone starts ringing and I dry hands off and stand up. 
"I'll get it." I assure Sharise.
"Alright, it could be Vince. He said he'd call before he headed home."
"Okay."
I go to the living room and pick the phone up.
"Hello?"
"I'm coming by to pick you up." It's Nikki, and I furrow my brows and look at the time. 
"What're you doing up before two o'clock?" 
"I got a call from a hospital in Malibu. Tansy's in surgery right now."
My blood runs cold and I can't get my thoughts together. 
"Just be ready when I get there." He adds. "I'm leaving the house, now."
"O-Okay." 
He hangs up and I head to Skylar's room where Sharise is helping her pick out some clothes. 
"That was Nikki." I inform her and she looks at me. "Tansy's at the hospital in the middle of a surgery."
"Oh my God, is she okay?" 
"I don't know."
"Is she having more heart problems or--"
"--I have no idea, Sharise. Nikki didn't explain."
Despite her body being pumped full of varying drugs, none of them caused her to be sent to the ER. Something else entirely, did though.
"She's more susceptible to complications during surgery due to her previous heart problems and her drug use. She did decide to sign a DNR--"
"--I'm sorry, what's been signed?" Nikki raises his brows at the nurse. 
"A do-not resuscitate order. Meaning if she were to code, we can not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation." 
"So you just fucking let her die?!" 
"Nikki, they had to explain to her what it meant, and she still agreed--" I'm cut short.
“--You know how much fucking heroin she fucking shoots on a daily basis?! I'm not even sure she could fucking see to sign her God damn in the first place, let alone comprehend you motherfuckers selling her death!" Nikki barks and the nurse sighs.
“Nikki, she’ll be fine.” I try to tell him.
"Fuck that!" He screams, fear in his eyes.
"Nikki, that's only if something goes wrong, alright? So far everything is going okay." I try to reassure him, my eyes drifting to her nurse. "Right?"
The surgery itself was going smoothly. One thing Tansy didn't tell us, however, was one of her kidneys was shot from her drug and alcohol abuse, and she asked her doctor to go ahead and take the thing out.
"She's in good hands." Is all the nurse says, before adding, "she should be out in a couple more hours." 
She walks away and Nikki shakes his head and lets out a heavy breath. 
"It'll be okay." I say to him.
“You gonna fucking pray about it or something?” He sneers at me.
“Yes.”
“Right, imaginary friends solve all of the world’s problems.”
“There’s nothing wrong with me doing something that brings me some peace.” I argue.
“You’ve been praying for me for the past six years. Feel any fucking peace, yet?” He snaps.
Believe it or not, no. I hadn’t felt any fucking peace.
It doesn’t take Tansy much longer to get out of surgery, and Nikki and I are horrified when her doctor explains what exactly he was repairing, being that the nurse wouldn’t tell us.
“Like...a shooter sized bottle--”
“--Pint.” He says to us and Nikki and I look at eachother.
“They tried to fit a pint sized bottle of Jack into her…?” I trail off.
“Well, they made it fit, it just didn’t stay intact.” He replies.
“The bottle of her vagina?” I question.
“I had to stitch up her vaginal wall extensively, and made sure to remove every piece of glass, including micrograins. Her left fallopian tube would have been compromised if the piece of glass that completely punctured through her vaginal wall, would have moved 0.004mm, which is about the thickness of a single strand of hair.” He states. “She’s very lucky her uterus or ovaries weren’t compromised. That wouldn’t have been as easy of a fix.”
“A--A bottle?” I’m stll stuck on them fitting a fucking bottle into her, my face twisted in horror as my stomach drops and my skin crawls.
He holds up a small container and rattles it around, the sound of glass swishing around making me cringe.
“Jesus fucking christ.” Nikki lets out.
“I’m going to tell her when she wakes, but please reiterate after me, that the next time she and her partner wish to add some heat to their sex life, maybe try not to be so blatantly reckless.” He suggests and Nikki and I nod, still speechless.
In a couple more hours, Nikki and I’s ears perk when she groans a little, our eyes shifting to look at her in her hospital bed.
Her bright blue eyes blink open, her brows furrowed in confusion, and it seems everything slowly falls into place for her.
“Tans?” Nikki says and she looks straight at him, just blinking.
“Where’s Sparkie?” She asks and we look at each other.
“We haven’t seen him.” I explain.
“Oh.” She quietly mumbles, closing her eyes again for a moment.
“Tansy, what the hell happened?” Nikki starts, a sharp tone in his voice.
She looks at me, carefully, before speaking.
“We were just trying to spice things up.” She says softly.
“With a fucking Jack Daniel’s bottle that clearly wouldn’t naturally fit inside of you?” He lets out.
She doesn’t say a word back, I almost think she doesn’t hear him, until she says:
“I’m not fighting right now.”
“Let’s just let her rest, okay?” I suggest. “She’s exhausted and she doesn’t need to be stressed out right now.”
Nikki sighs, but keeps his mouth shut.
After a few more minutes, I’m wanting a snack.
“You have any cash?”
He looks at me and I give him my best smile, making him exhale softly, digging in his back pocket for his wallet.
“How much?” He asks, clearing his throat.
“Like, a couple bucks.” I shrug and he hands it to me. “Thank you.”
I go to the vending machines past the waiting area, to see Sparkie sitting by the window, eating his food, and I glare at him as I walk by.
He doesn’t see me, unfortunately, and I just keep going to the Pepsi Cola machine calling my name.
I want to go curse him out, but Tansy doesn’t need the stress, and being they were both high as a kite, I can’t solely put the blame on him and only him.
She should have just left him years ago. All he’s been is trouble that she doesn’t need.
I get my Pepsi and a pack of M&Ms, walking around a little to stretch my legs since I’ve been sitting for hours.
I let out a heavy breath when I remember I’m nearly out of Nardil, being I flushed a majority of my bottle down the toilet in an angry effort.
I’ll make sure to call in some more before we leave for the next leg of the tour.
As I start on my way back to the room, I’m interrupted by the sight of Nikki and Sparkie standing face to face in the waiting room, and I drop my Pepsi and food when Nikki slams Sparkie’s head into the wall without a single word beforehand.
“Sir!” The receptionist yells, standing up as I go to them as fast as I can to get Nikki off of him as he grabs his shirt and punches the shitfire out of Sparkie, one of his teeth crumbling to the floor.
“I’m gonna fucking kill you!” He promises as he punches him two more times, not taking a breath in between with no signs of stopping his assault until Sparkie’s brain is bursting from his skull, but I’m managing to get Nikki off of him, making him drop Sparkie to the floor, his nose and mouth busted up as security comes in.
We were escorted out, and when we got home I called Steven and informed him what happened to Tansy, leaving out what actually happened because I didn’t need anyone else possibly being sued for trying to kill Sparkie, and he went to keep an eye on her.
“Anyone else you want to beat the shit out of while we’re home?” I snap as we get to the car.   “First Vanity, now Sparkie--”
"--What, you wanna go back in there and coddle him the way you did Vanity?" He hisses and I roll my jaw. 
"You know exactly why I 'coddled' her."
"Oh, right, because men aren't suppose to hit women so I'm an evil bastard for knocking the shit out of her even though she was punching and hitting at me."
"I've punched and hit at you and you've never--"
"--She came into our house, attacked me, and punched you, too, Vivian! I had a reason to bust her face up a little bit!"
"I can handle shit myself, Nikki, there was no need for you to hit her like that!" 
"It's called 'equal rights'! All you women want is to be seen equally and shit! You fucking punch me like you're a man, I'm gonna fucking punch you back, like you're a fucking man! Don't hit me like you've got bigger balls than I do and then scream and cry and whine and plead 'frail, innocent, victimized, dainty, woman' when you get treated equally!" 
"I don't do that!" 
"No, but you sure as hell were all about feeding the cracked out beast when she fucking did!" 
"That's it. I'm walking home." 
"Walking home? We're forty minutes away from L.A., Viv." 
"I'll hitch a ride! I'd rather be in a car with a sketchy stranger than be trapped with you for the next hour!"
"You've been trapped with me the past four years!" He barks. 
"Not for much longer, thank God!" I bite out and his face slowly falls. "I didn't mean it like that."
"Pretty sure going our separate ways is just inevitable for us at this point, Viv, so it's fine." He brushes it off and my heart hurts at the thought. "And I'm sorry for going after Sparkie in public. But I'm not apologizing for defending Tansy. I'm not ever gonna be sorry for defending any of my friends."
“What happened, Nikki?” I ask him. “What the hell made you go after him like that? You were fine when I left.”
He lets out a breath, his nostrils flaring, his knuckles gripping tightly to the wheel as he closes his eyes and forces himself to calm down, before saying:
“Nothing. I just really thought about it and it got to me.”
I didn’t find out what happened until Tansy told me months down the road, and nobody else knows that’s actually what happened.
If Stevie and Slash knew what really occurred to put Tansy in that shape to begin with, they would’ve killed Sparkie the second Tansy first went back and "relapsed" on him.
"Tansy, he hurt you." I remind her. "And I know it was an accident but it doesn't matter. He could've seriously messed you up more than he did."
"I know, but I love him, Viv." She argues. 
"Tansy--"
"--Nikki shot you. And you're still with him." 
"Because Nikki was high out of his mind and didn't realize he actually was shooting at me. He thought I was someone after him." 
"Sparkie was fucked up and didn't know he was hurting me."
"Who the hell shoves a pint-sized glass bottle up their cunt to begin with, Tansy?" I raise my voice, getting aggravated with her.
"I'm gonna go." She tells me, calmly, after a moment of being quiet. "And I saw your Playboy issue--Steven got it. You look very beautiful." She genuinely says and I let out a defeated breath.
"Thanks."
"I'll talk to you later, Viv, okay?"
"Got it."
"I love you, bye."
"I love you, too, bye-bye." 
I hang up and fall back on the bed, groaning loudly in frustration. 
"How the hell can someone be as passively suicidal as she is?" I let out.
I'd find out soon enough.
In the last ten days of September, "Girls, Girls, Girls" is certified double-platinum, a $5000 lawsuit is filed against the band after a mother had apparently suffered "severe hearing dysfunction and mental anguish" at a recent concert. 
I wish I could sew these bastards for hearing dysfunction and mental anguish because God himself sure as shit knows I've had my fair share of it due to them, too.
By the end of the month, Nikki has Doc convinced to bring Guns N Roses on tour for the south leg, starting at the end of October…and I don't know how to feel about it. 
"Are you not excited about it?" Fred asks me after Doc leaves his hotel room after coming in to tell me the news. "Thought they were your buddies." He adds and I look at him from where I'm eating a fry from the fast food bag that he'd gone and got for us.
"They are." I confirm, nodding. "I'm excited." 
"...You just acted like Doc told you we were going to a funeral." He chuckles, sipping his drink and I lick my lips a little. 
"No, it's great, I'm just a little stressed out." I shrug. "But I'm fine." 
"Viv, what's going on?" He's not buying it and Iet out a soft breath, nervously picking the skin from the instead of my cheek with my teeth. 
"There's just a slight complication." I tell him and he raises his brows. 
"I'm all ears." He offers and I exhale, shaking my head a little, before opting for a way to confess my sins to him without him knowing I'm the one that needs forgiveness. 
"Well, you know how Sparkie and Tansy have been together for a long time?"
"Yeah." He nods. 
"She's really good friends with Axl, too, and her and Sparkie have been having some problems and might even break up so Tansy's been anxious and panicking a little, and, well…" I think for a moment. "...over this past break, Tansy slept with Axl." I say and his brows raise. "Who's the singer for Guns, and they've kinda been having a weird relationship situation thing happening ever since, but she's still with Sparkie, and being that she and Sparkie are along for the tour, Axl's gonna be around and she doesn't want Sparkie to find out what's been happening." 
"Why won't Tansy just break things off with Sparkie?"
"She doesn't want to hurt him."
"He's a piece of shit to her, are you kidding me? I'd tell that motherfucker he could go blow his fucking brains out over it." He scoffs, chewing his burger and I feel my heart sink, apparently he reads the look on my face. "Sorry, I forget women are wired a different way than guys are." He apologizes, swallowing his food before saying:
"Does Axl make her happier, you think?" 
"Sparkie's just exhausting her at this point. I think she really loves him, she's just tired of fighting and she hasn't had any peace in years, you know? She's just really tired. But when she's with Axl, she feels like everything isn't falling apart. She's at peace." 
"I think she's gotta tell Sparkie they just aren't working anymore. And be honest about how she feels instead of trying to brush over it and find ways to escape from it. I've seen her do some questionable shit, and I know it's because she's in pain and just doesn't want to deal with what's hurting her. I think this fling she's got with this dude is another way of crying for a way out, but she feels like she's too trapped to actually leave Sparkie." He explains. 
I nod slowly, tearing up a little. 
"I'm just worried about it, is all."
"Don't be." He shakes his head. "Just tell her what I just told you, and maybe she'll be done with Sparkie before Guns comes on a month from now." 
I take a deep breath and close my eyes for a moment.
"I doubt it." I say so quietly he doesn't even hear it.
I felt like I'd gotten a little bit of my guilt off my chest--aside from the fact that I was leaving out a minor detail:
"Sparkie" = Nikki, "Tansy" = Vivian, and, "Axl" = Duff.

Stardust [2] | Chris Beck
Pairing: Chris Beck x reader
Summary: Beck and Y/n still don't know about each other's feelings and what happens if Mark, Beth and Martinez place their bets?
Words: 1.3k-ish
A/n: so there's gonna be a third part!! I hope you like this and have a nice day! Well it's 10:40 PM here but whatever lmao.
Tumblr media
"I bet 60 bucks Beck and Y/l/n won't get together before one month" Martinez said.
"Y/n is like my little sister, I bet they'll get together in a week" Watney smirked.
"Okay, it's on th-" he didn't even finish his sentence, interrupted by a laughing sound.
Beck and Y/l/n entered the gym where Watney and Martinez were "working out".
they stood there watching as their two colleagues stopped their little chat now staring at them holding their laugh.
"What were you two talking about?" Y/n said grabbing a bottle of water from a little table. Then she turned around waiting for a response.
"Oh well we were talking uhm about-" Mark started looking around, searching for something credible as an excuse, when he spotted Lewis' mp3
"we were just talking about how bad Lewis' music is, like come on! Who still listens to disco music these days?" He managed to mumble out.
Y/n laughed and that caused Martinez and Watney to sigh in relief while on the other hand Beck didn't believe a single word that escaped their mouth.
He walked close to Y/n, enough to whisper something into her ear "they're lying, you know that right?" Y/n nodded but shrugged it off.
"Who cares, let them think they're good liars" she said lowering her voice but still letting the other two hear what she was saying.
"We are good liars. Really good liars actually!" Martinez yelled playfully as Johansen also came in the room, looking around confusedly.
"Are you guys having fun working out in here?" She asked making her way to Y/n and Beck.
Y/n laughed "yeah Beth, sure" she said before making her way back to her lab, followed by a laughing doctor.
"You made a bet. Didn't you?" Johansen asked sipping water from a bottle.
"Maybe we did" Mark shrugged and grabbed a towel from the table where were all the bottles of water.
"or maybe not" Martinez copied his friend's previous actions chuckling innocently.
"What's the bet about?" Beth asked.
"Watney thinks Beck and Y/l/n will start dating in less than a week, while I'm sure it'll take at least one month" Martinez explained.
Beth nodded "I have to agree with Martinez on this one, little Stardust and Doc are just too oblivious right now but I bet they'llmake it in two weeks" she said.
"Y'all underestimate Y/n, she's clever" Mark said, finally starting to really work out as the others just shook their heads.
He convinced himself they'd get together before a week and it had to happen.
Six days had slowly passed by on the Hermes, but with no improvement from Beck and Y/n's relationship. Mark was already giving up, maybe Johansen was right, they were too oblivious.
But he did have a plan, and he even defined it "the best plan a man has ever had in a while" it consisted in getting the pair in embarrassing situations like *cough cough* Beck shirtless *cough cough*.
The plan'd started in the right way. Beck was having a shower and Y/n was, as always in her lab examining Mars rocks.
He'd hidden Beck's towel in his bunk so Chris had to ask for it.
"Hey Mark, I know you took my towel, can you please give it back?"
"I'm sorry man I have to work on uhm... stuff" he lied.
"Can you ask Martinez?" He yelled from the little bathroom.
"Sorry man they're all in the gym" Watney said with an evil smirk as his plan was working.
"Come on is there anyone free right now? I can't just walk out naked" Beck huffed in exasperation.
"Y/n is free" Mark yelled.
"I- uhm... fine call her".
Mark made his way to her lab, looking around to make sure no one knew about what he was doing, because he didn't really think it was in the rules, but he knew it was the right thing to do right now.
He knocked on her door and she answered with a "Watney if you're gonna just bother me don't come in!"
He laughed "I was just gonna ask you if you could go grab a towel for Beck, he's in the shower and we're all busy at the moment"
Y/n huffed "I'm busy too you know?"
"But... can you just do it? Thanks" Watney said from the other side of the door.
"Fine, but you owe me a favor" she opened the door revealing Mark, smiling creepily.
"Stop with that face you're scaring me" Y/n said with a hint of disgust.
Mark laughed "Will do Stardust" he said earning a glare from the woman.
Y/n walked away reluctantly, you know, when you have a little (huge) crush on someone you tend to be extremly embarrassed, especially when he is naked in the bathroom waiting for a towel.
She grabbed one from a shelf in the bunks room and made her way to the most embarrassing moment of her life.
She knocked to let Chris know she was there.
"Can you pass me the towel from the doorway?" He asked shyly.
"S-sure" she stuttered opening the door just a little, revealing only Chris' head, wich was good.
He grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his waist opening the door fully.
"Thank you Stardust, you're my saviour" he said getting out.
Y/n couldn't help but stare at his toned body. He always wore oversized NASA hoodies and also if she knew for sure he was a muscular man, now she was completely stunned.
"What are you looking at Y/n?" Chris asked laughing.
Y/n blushed deeply as she shifted her attention somewhere else "you look so good"
"Do you really think that?" He asked confusedly, she'd never expressed anything like that to him before.
"I said it out loud didn't I?" She asked, more to herself than to him.
"Yup" he said popping the "p".
"Now if you excuse me I have to get dressed" he laughed.
"But you look so good shirtless" she said under her breath.
"What?" He stopped
"Oh shit- nothing, see you later and please, put something on before you drive me crazy" she said, quickly walking away.
She lied in her bunk still blushing.
All she could think about was Beck. She hoped with all her heart he hadn't understood what she had said because in that case she'd be fucked up.
He was handsome.
All the images from before came back in her mind, the drops falling from his hair to his chest and then down to his abdomen, his blue eyes sparkling under the bright light, she couldn't just get him off her mind.
"Did something happen Y/l/n?" Mark said suddenly walking in.,
Y/n released the breath she didn't know she was holding and shook her head."Nope, not at all" she chuckled.
"Come on Y/n, you mean you didn't even kiss? I mean, your crush, was shirtless in front of you!" He huffed, facepalming.
"I know you hid his towel, I know you too well Watney" Y/n laughed.
"I'm sorry, this is my best talent" he smiled.
"Is ruining friendship considerated a talent?" She smiled back while he just shrugged his shoulders.
"You don't appreciate my work hun"
He was fucked up. He didn't win and that meant he wasn't the first man to win a bet in space and mostly, his best friend was an oblivious, fucked up bitch.
