billy keeps glancing over lucy gray’s shoulder and laughing like a mischievous little boy, feeling as though they were in first grade again, pulling innocent pranks on their classmates and teachers. “yeah, i wouldn’t be surprised in if it affected everything. your hair, skin, overall health. like you said, this is the thing that causes cancer, right? so what’s hair loss compared to that?” growing serious for a moment, he frowns and feels bad for people who don’t have a lucy gray to educate them on the subject or who are purposely ignorant. he’s so focused on picking the right kind of paper cups that he doesn’t realize he’s being recorded, pale blue eyes studying the labels as though they were the most fascinating things he’d ever seen. the plain red ones? the blue ones? something fun for a kiddie party? black ones with big yellow bat signal? “which ones?” he asks, looking completely lost and helpless as he straightens up and shows all the options to lucy gray. “lucy gray? babe? cups.” he tries to bring her attention to his dilemma, wondering what she’s doing and why she’s smiling at her phone. definitely not texting billy taupe, that he’s sure of and the thought puts him at ease. “mhm, you always get a special pass. childhood bestie privileges.” he’d like to disagree and remind her that she tends to lecture him quite a lot and not just about his health, but decides against it. “remember that scene from princess protection program?” he doesn’t even realize that he’s just admitted to not only watching the movie when it first came out, but actually paying attention to it. “the one where demi’s teaching selena how to walk like a princess? and she’s balancing a stack of books on her head? that’s you now, balancing plates.” he catches a glimpse of her warm chocolate eyes and can’t help but blush, growing sheepish again. is she really looking at him? 

watching him type the words as he tells her to, noting how nice their groupchat name was….motherfuckers. her eyes moved back on his message and lucy gray began to laugh after she read it, “go bald…” she was filled with amusement. “well, the sad thing is it probably does contribute to unhealthy hair too.” another laugh, it wasn’t even funny but the way he had worded it and sent the picture of himself was killing her for some reason. while she’s uploading the pictures from today, her eyes move on the jolly ranchers he must’ve put in here when she wasn’t looking. the only reason she gives them a pass is because he adds more organic things which causes her to smirk before going back to her phone. while he’s shopping and occasionally pushing the cart, she’s secretly recording him and then posting to her story, “my mom took me grocery shopping” as the tiny caption she added on top of the video. containing her laughter so he wouldn’t know anything. “i get a special pass? well, good. cause i only lecture when i care for your health.” it only ever comes from a good place. “yeah, you are,” agreeing softly, bambi eyes filled with dreamy warmth and love as she rests her elbow on the cart and cheek rests against her fist while she’s admiring him even when he’s putting plates on her head. “we might as well have cups.”
