“It was the sweetness of your skin, it was the hope of all we might have been, that fills me with the hope to wish impossible things” Rae sings along with Robert Smiths haunting voice dancing around the kitchen bare footed in a white vest top and one of Finn’s boxers. Needing a break from working on her article about the latest indie bands of the London scene for her music blog she decided to bake over doing the laundry, not exactly one of her favorite chores to do. She preheats the oven to the temperature needed than starts to gather all the ingredients and baking pans for making chocolate strawberry cupcakes.

“That was To Wish Impossible Things by the Cure and before that it was She Bangs the Drums by the Smiths. Up next I’ve got Elastica, Arctic Monkeys, Paramore and more indie songs form the 70’s, 80’s,90’s and now on No Crap FM Radio,” A smile played across Rae’s lips at Finn’s voice coming over the radio as she mixed her wet ingredients into her dry. After portioning out the batter in the pans and popping those in the oven Rae went to work making her chocolate icing. Once it was done she took a moment to check on the cupcakes before starting in on the cleaning and swaying her hips to the music playing in the background.“Well folks that will do it for us. This is Finn Nelson saying to be continued till next time.”

Rae dries her hands after washing the last dish than goes over to the radio turning it off not really caring for the next DJ coming on after Finn and headed for the record player to put on a Bowie album. She starts to smell the cupcakes wafting into the lounge from the kitchen. Rae checks on them pulling the pan out after checking for doneness, satisfied they were she headed back to her laptop. Some time went by when she heard keys rattling in the door and Finn walking in humming a tune whilst putting his things on the hall table of their modest London flat.

“Hey love! I’m home,” Finn sucks in his bottom lip as he watches Rae get up from the desk where her laptop rests. He can’t help but let his eyes glide up and down her curvy figure moving languidly over to him. “Have ya been baking?” Rae kissed his cheek in welcome before heading into the kitchen with Finn following after.

“Yeah I needed a break from the article I’m working on and decide on making my famous chocolate strawberry cupcakes.” Rae glanced at Finn as she started in on icing the now cooled baked goods.

“Mhmm, my favorite kind.” Finn walked behind Rae putting his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him and resting his chin on her shoulder giving her a kiss on her neck. Rae giggled putting down the iced cupcake and intertwined her arms and hands with Finn’s over her stomach leaning into him. He gave her a squeeze proud of how far she had come in her self acceptance remembering a time when Rae would tense up at just the slightest brush of her stomach; now she craves to be touched all over by him.      

“I know that’s why I made them. You had a good show tonight by the way; ya definitely played some of my favorites.”

“I know I was thinking about ya when I played ‘em.” Finn smirked before kissing the crook of her neck making Rae take a breathy sigh. Finn turns Rae around putting her arms around his neck, Rae naturally resting her head on his shoulder, than wraps his arms around her and starts dancing with her as Bowie gently sings in the background.

“Ya know as much as I love this Finnly, its not getting these cupcakes iced.” Rae kissed Finn on the cheek before she removed his arms from around her giving his hands a genital squeeze than turning back to what she had been doing.

“Oi! I was having fun, now!” Finn put on a mock look of hurt than huffed out a laugh giving Rae a peck on the cheek, Rae playfully nudged him on the hip. “I’ll go put on tea. Any requests?”  

“I’ve been having a craving for spaghetti and your homemade garlic bread.”

“As you wish girl.” Finn turned on the electric kettle for tea and started in on making their meal. Forty minutes latter they were sitting at the small well warn table by the small window of their kitchen, the cupcakes all iced and enjoying their meal. They talked about their day, argued over a few songs and made plans for the weekend. After they were finished, dishes were gathered up and put in the sink.

“That was one of your best meals, Finn,” Rae gave an appreciative look to him as she washed one of the plates, Finn gave her a crooked smile whilst rinsing and drying one of the cooking pots and putting it in the dish rack to dry. “Although I bet you’re ready for dessert. You have been eyeing them all evening” Rae nodded her head over to the plate of cupcakes  

“Why thank you m’dear. And actually I wasn’t eyeing them all evening,” Rae raised her right eyebrow scrunching her lips to the side not believing him. “’cause you see I’m in the mood for a different kind of dessert.” Finn purposefully let his eyes wander over Rae’s body with a lust filled grin on his face; Rae felt heat on her cheeks and a shiver run down her back.

“Oh really? And what would that be?” Rae bit her bottom lip knowing how much it turned Finn on; he stepped closer into her personal space leaning his head ever closer till his mouth was close to Rae’s ear. His hot breath made breathing suddenly very difficult.

“You should know already,” Finn teasingly nibbled on her earlobe making Rae squirm in a delicious way and flutter her eyes closed. “You. Girl,” With that Rae starts to unbuckle Finn’s belt and working her way to undo his jeans as a pleasured sigh left her lips from his kisses on her neck. Finn raised his arms in the air to let Rae pull his t-shirt off him leaving him half naked and the shirt on the ground. He instantly cupped her face and captures her bottom lip between his own, Rae moans letting her lips open in invitation for Finn to deepen their kiss. Rae pushes his loosened jeans down around his hips and arse till they fall down around his ankles, Finn without breaking their kiss steps out of them. Soon Rae finds herself pushed up against the counter with Finn tilting his hips into her, she feels his want for her as she runs her hands up his muscular back with Finn letting out an appreciative groan. Soon Rae finds her vest top on the floor and Finn’s boxers she wore being pulled off her by him. “Have I ever told you how fucking sexy you look in me boxers.” Finn asks in-between kissing down her neck, collarbone, and finally to the top of her left breast.

“Um once or …Mmmmm yesss…uh twice.” Rae found it hard to answer as Finn kissed and sucked on her nipple whilst his thumb brushed across her hardened nipple of her other breast. Rae slides her hands down his back and under the elastic of his boxers digging in her fingers into his arsecheeks pulling him closer to her, something that drives Finn wild, before pulling them down leaving them both naked. Suddenly in one fell swoop Finn slid his hands down the sides of Rae’s waist, hips ,and finally around to the back of her arsecheeks and lifted her up on the counter, his strength as ever always surprising her, Rae couldn’t help rub her hands over his very strong muscular arms. She felt herself getting wetter with the anticipation of thing to come. Finn was back to kissing her plump lips his hands lazily roaming over her curvaceous body, one hand along the way bumped the bowl that the rest of the chocolate icing lay in. Finn broke the kiss with Rae looking at him in confusion at why he stopped hoping that she didn’t do something wrong. He grabbed the glass bowl and dipped his finger in the icing with a smirk on his face as he starts smearing it on Rae spelling out a word.      

“FINNN! What are ya doin’?” Rae giggled as Finn continued to spell BEAUTIFUL with the icing across Rae’s ample chest causing her to gasp when Finn brushed her nipple along the way. He looked into Rae’s eyes with a mix of mischief and lust in them whilst licking some of the chocolate off his finger making Rae lick her bottom lip.

“What does it look like, I’m icing me dessert of course,” Finn winked before stealing a kiss. “My little Cupcake.” Rae scrunched up nose shaking her head in disapproval.

“Oh that was so bad. Please don’t ever call me that again.” Finn nodded in agreement as he rubbed at the back of his neck a grimaced look on his face.  

“Yeah it felt wrong the moment it left my lips.” Finn huffed out a laugh shaking his head at himself. Rae smiled and leaned forward close to his lips as her finger slowly ran down his well muscled and defined chest to his fine hairs on his lower stomach.

“I didn’t tell ya to stop. I want to see where this goes,” Rae leaned close to his ear making Finn hitch his breath as her lips grazed the lobe of his ear. “Although I have a pretty good idea.” She whispered making the tiny hairs on the back of his neck stand up, Finn could never get enough of how his girl did his head in, in the most amazing ways. The corner of his mouth curled up and his bushy eyebrows rose as he dipped his finger into the leftover icing and continued to write SEXY on her stomach causing her to giggle when he touched a particularly ticklish spot. He wrote STRONG on one of her thighs and BRILLIANT on the other than slid the bowl to the side before pushing some of her hair behind her ear, cupping her face and heatedly kissed her. He moved down her neck as Rae let out breathy moans and raked her fingers through his hair, Finn kissed along her collarbone till he reached the icing on her chest and with opened mouth kisses started to lick it off her skin. Rae groaned as one hand slid down to his bicep digging her fingers into his flesh as he continued to kiss his way along her chest. He took a few moments to lavish kisses on her breasts before moving his way to kissing her stomach making a little smile appear on Rae’s lips as she watched Finn worship every inch of her. Rae leaned back on her hands as Finn worked on kissing and licking her thighs taking his sweet time, she squirmed in frustration of him so close to where she wanted him to be.

Finn finally kneels in front of Rae as she moves her thighs apart wider for him. Finn looks at her lustily before moving closer and licked up from her entrance to her clit making Rae moan and hitch her breath at the feel of his tongue swirling around her harden nub. “Mmmm yesss Finn right there. Yess…OH GOD YES,” She screams out as Finn starts to suck on her clit and slips two fingers in her very wet entrance. He curls his fingers hitting that spot inside her that made her scream out louder, both of them very thankful for the thick wall of their flat. Finn speeds up than slows his pace wanting to prolong her pleasure and savor her taste that had a mix of her essence and chocolate. “Oh Finn…Finn…I’m sooo close.” Rae couldn’t hold back any longer as she grabbed at the back of Finn’s head pulling him closer to her core and squeezed her thighs together around his head, Finn loving the feeling of her engulfing him. Heat radiated from her core and washed over her as she came undone; Finn kept licking up her juices till Rae pushes him away not being able to take anymore.  He gets up and cups the back of her head with his hand as his free arm embraces Rae pulling her closer to him. Rae surprises him when she closes the gap between them and hungrily kisses him, enjoying her taste on his lips, and wraps her legs around his waist feeling his hardness rub against her very sensitive clit making her groan into their kiss.

Finn lifts her off the counter and carries her to the settee in the lounge and lowers her down on top than rest between her thighs. Finn lifts his head to look at Rae lovingly while playing with her hair as Rae lazily runs her fingers up and down his back.

“Have I told you I love ya today?” Finn said before kissing her neck making Rae lean her back as far as she could to let Finn have more of her neck to kiss.

“No not yet.” Rae moaned out as she moved her hips rubbing herself against Finn’s arousal trying to relive the throbbing want of her core.

“Well I better remedy that,” Finn gave her a soft kiss than looked into her eyes. “I love you Rae.”

“I Love you too Finn. Now shut up and fuck me.” Rae bit her lower lip in a lustful way as Finn reached under her right thigh and pulled it up so her leg was resting on his shoulder.

“As you wish, girl.” Finn than pushed himself deeply into Rae’s warm and very wet entrance making them both gasp at being connected so completely. He starts thrusting slowly as Rae kisses Finn’s neck and digging her finger into his back making him groan out in pleasure. Rae tells him to move faster as she moves her hips to meet every thrust, Finn speeds up feeling himself getting closer. Sweat forms on their bodies as they move faster, Rae starts clenching around Finn feeling herself also getting closer. Soon they find their rhythm that will bring them both to their orgasms.

“Oh Finn I’m coming, I’m coming” Rae screamed as Finn sped up faster.

“Me too Rae” Finn grunted out. Soon they were both screaming out as they both came spectacularly together. After catching their breath Finn gently and slowly guided Rae’s leg off his shoulder and back to his waist.

“That were amazing Finn,” Rae ran her fingers through his hair with a smile on her face enjoying the feel of him on top of her not wanting this moment to end. “Well if this is what’s going to happen every time I make my cupcakes I need to make them more often.” Finn huffed out a laugh as Rae giggled along with him.

“Oh you can count on that,” Finn smirked as he tenderly stroked her cheek. “Now I’m in the mood for cupcakes”

“Well you know where to find them.” Rae replied cheekily before giving Finn a warm smile. He kissed her again quickly before slowing getting up a bit shakily and helped Rae up off the settee. They walked in the kitchen and Finn grabbed a cupcake licking at the icing giving Rae a wink causing her to feel a little heat on her cheeks remembering his use of the icing earlier.

“I’m surprised ya not tired of the icing after getting your fill of it” Rae moved closer to Finn and wrapped her arms around him in a lovingly embrace.

“Nope I love your icing its so fucking good…and fun to play with.” Finn gave her a goofy grin as he finished off his cupcake.

“Oi! Cheeky,” Rae shook her head whilst trying not to laugh but didn’t quite succeed. “I need to go take a shower I’m a bit sticky, I wonder why.” Rae rolled her eyes playfully before starting to make her way to the shower.

“Ya want company?” Finn raised one of his bushy eyebrows in question as Rae looked over her shoulder giving him a once over with a flirty smile on her face.

“What do you think?” Rae nodded in the direction of the bathroom. “Come on.” with that they both made their way to the shower where they made love again slowly before heading to bed and talking into the night about their weekend plans. It was about three in the morning when they drifted off into a contented sleep. It would be six weeks later they would find out that their love created something even more special than cupcakes.

My Mad Fat Diary Fanfic - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Jonjo’s Washing Machine

Another party! After the last, Archie isn't sure how to act around Barney. And yet, he can't stay away. This can only mean one thing, right?

Thank you and enjoy! x

Somehow Chop had managed to persuade everyone to go to another party, this included Jonjo, whose parents semi-detached had been infiltrated by a bunch of wasted, Stamford teenagers who didn’t and outright couldn’t go home.

Archie wasn’t particularly looking forward to another party where he could make a fool of himself, the last time had been quite enough for him, but Chloe had managed to badger long enough, using the excuse that they needed to look after each other as the only single ones in the gang. Archie supposed she was right, even though Chloe seemed to enjoy being single for once. Or at least that’s how Archie saw it, and after the chat they had after the party at Chop’s, Archie felt closer to Chloe and that they understood each other. But there was no way he was babysitting her or any of the gang.

It wasn’t a massive party, could have only been around 20 people there which made sense as all of the rooms were so small and there seemed to be no room to breathe. To be completely honest, it wasn’t really a party at all. Jonjo had refused to buy more than 2 crates of beer, which had mostly been consumed by himself before anyone even arrived. At some point during the night, Archie lost sight of most of the gang but found company with Lizard and Little Al in one of the bedrooms who showered him with drunk compliments. His plan to avoid Barney didn’t work out either, no sooner had the rest of the gang come out of hiding, had Barney stumbled into the unoccupied space next to Archie. Archie’s undesired awkwardness seemed to creep in as soon as Barney crashed down next to him, bumping his shoulder. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want to talk to Barney. He’d just say something stupid. He always did. The two spent the next half an hour not speaking, just listening to one of Chop’s exaggerated stories until it was clear neither of them could stand the awkwardness between them.

“Look at us, fourth time we’ve been in ‘ta same room? Makes me think ‘ya actually wanna spend time with me!” Barney chuckled, trying to ease the tension. This was becoming a regular occurrence whenever he spoke to Archie, which was something he didn’t particularly enjoy. He never thought Archie to be much a nervous guy, and it was becoming increasingly clear something was wrong.

“Chop’s a pretty good persuader. That’s all I’ll say, alright?”

“Yeah, yeah. Likely story, Arch.”

“It’s like he wants us to die of alcohol poisoning. I don’t get how he can get through it all!”

“Mate, ‘e’s a trooper – you’re just weak!”

The two were sitting almost arm to arm at this point, their skin brushing against each other. Archie could feel the slight bicep of Barney’s arm and had to move his right hand over his crotch. Barney played some football with the lads and when Archie worked at the leisure center he often saw Barney coming out of the swimming pool changing rooms. Not that he was looking or anything. He didn’t do that anymore. Barney didn’t notice though, he was still laughing at something Chop had just said and reached over to Archie, whispering delicately into his ear. The warmth of Barney’s breath on Archie was almost too much for him, he gave Barney a small smile indicating that yes, he was listening and not thinking about how lovely his face was and how nice his breath felt on his skin and what a lovely tone of voice he had.

“Mate, do ‘ya wanna head outside? Bit cramped in ‘ere, init?” Before Archie could resist, Barney pulled him out of the room and headed to the front door. Archie glanced back at the rest of the gang, to see Rae giving him a little smirk and nudging Finn.

Once the two had reached outside, Barney offered Archie a cigarette to which Archie shook his head. He only really took cigarettes from Finn and even that was a rarity.

“Ah, forgot ‘ya didn’t smoke. Shame. Need a new smoking buddy. Little Al’s giving up, apparently. Says his missus don’t like it. How he managed to get a bird, and a nice one at that, is a complete mystery.” Barney took his first drag and puffed the smoke into the air, watching it float away. As he did this, Archie leaned his back onto the brick wall, carefully studying the other boy’s movements and enjoying it.

“Guy like you, I’m surprised Anna hasn’t pounced yet.” This was true but came out more harshly than Archie expected. Barney was a good-looking guy, even people who didn’t have a massive crush and were becoming increasingly obsessed with him and his face could see that. Anna was only mentioned to create a buffer, she was a nice girl.

“Oh, look at you – didn’t know you could be such a judgey git!”

“Not judging, just saying. You know, she tried to kiss me last year.” This was also true. Quite a few girls wanted to kiss Archie, and quite a few girls were disappointed at his recent announcement. Archie could always get the girls, but he never could put up with them for more than a week. This was something that quite a few of the lads had become aware of, Barney included. Though no one ever said anything, it was like an unspoken agreement, one that Chop wasn’t included in for being completely clueless in that regard.

“Ha, bet ‘ya loved that!” Barney immediately regretted that comment, unsure on whether it was too forward again. “Sorry, Arch. Didn’t mean-“

“It’s fine.” Archie shrugged it off, not really knowing why Barney was apologising, and took Barney’s cigarette from his lips, placing it on his own – quite daring for Archie. He took a small drag, trying to resist a coughing fit, and handed back the cigarette, trying to look as sexy as possible but ultimately failing. Archie had never been sexy, no matter what Rae said. Barney was smirking as Archie did this, this boy never failed to surprise him. Super cool one minute, the next like a scared little mouse. Barney still couldn’t quite work him out, like a puzzle he wanted to solve. Something he had to crack. He wanted to crack it. Him. Crack him.

Once again, the two 18-year-olds were sitting in proximity, a little too close for Archie’s liking. Well, it wasn’t that he didn’t like it but how he didn’t want to react too obviously. Barney shifted closer to Archie, stubbing out the cigarette next to him, making sure his arms crossed over his legs. Archie, trying not to be the most awkward he had ever been in his life, pulled off his glasses and wiped them with his t-shirt, ridding of the invisible mark.

“You should wear your glasses less, suits ‘ya,” Archie raised his eyebrows at this – was this Barney’s attempt at a compliment? Why couldn’t he just say what he meant? Why was everything so complicated? “Not that the glasses don’t…‘ya, know? But... it’s a good look, I suppose.”

“Cheers, I’ll keep that in mind.” The sarcasm in Archie’s voice was clear and he placed his glasses back onto the rim of his nose, slightly wonky, not intentionally. As if routine, Barney positioned the glasses in the right position, his fingers brushing against Archie’s cheeks as he did this. This time it was Barney’s time to blush, it was obvious in the dim light coming from inside. Archie couldn’t help but try to suppress the smile forming, but this didn’t work.

“You know, not surprised Anna tried to kiss ‘ya. It ‘appens a lot with you, ‘asn’t it? Can’t keep ‘em all away.”

“Something like that.”

Archie tried to meet Barney’s gaze, his eyes flickering between his pink lips and back to those lovely, blue eyes. He was a sucker for bright, blue eyes. He was also a sucker for most of Barney’s features. Barney was smiling, obviously noticing Archie’s predicament. To look or not to look? Archie knew that the moment was going to slip away. Soon enough someone, most likely Chop looking for Izzy, would burst out and ruin it. Archie would have to grow some balls and just do it. Third time lucky, eh? Yes, third time lucky. Archie tries to position himself, without making it too obvious to the brown-haired boy beside him. Barney eyes focused on his feet, conscious that Archie was staring at him. Archie tried to get his attention, coughing slightly but that wasn’t enough, Barney’s eyes were fixated on his shoelaces.

“Barney?” Just as Barney clocked his head up, level with Archie, their lips met. This is the one, that kiss that matters. Barney’s soft lips felt like heaven on Archie’s, it’s as if they are supposed to touch, supposed to connect. It only lasted a few seconds, but Archie could feel the warmth and pleasure growing inside him. Archie felt the happiest he’s been in a long time, that was until he realised that Barney has stopped kissing him back and quickly pulled away. Archie knew it was a mistake as soon as their lips parted. Barney face said it all, he wasn’t very good at hiding his emotions but like most boys his age, he was extremely good at not saying anything about how he was feeling. Archie waited a few seconds before scrambling away from those baby blue eyes as quickly as he could. This was Archie’s problem. He always liked the ones he couldn’t have. Those guys that always seemed so friendly, so hands-on but as soon as Archie gave anything back, he’d realise that’s not what they wanted. Of course Barney didn’t like Archie. Of course he liked girls. That first time, it was only a game, and it wasn’t a proper kiss. The second time, they were wasted. The third time … well Archie had been quite pushy he supposed. Barney was only friendly and yes, he was a very flirty person. He flirted with everyone. Archie wasn’t special, he was just stupid. He’d gone and ruined a great friendship. Archie seemed to ruin everything.

“Arch… listen, mate. I think-“ Barney started but Archie couldn’t bear to hear anymore. The embarrassment. The stupidity. The shame.

“Look, Barney-“ Archie couldn’t take it, making sure to avoid Barney’s eyes. He could feel his cheeks slowly heating up and even in the dim light he was sure Barney would notice. Barney wouldn’t stop looking directly at Archie, trying to catch his eye and assess the situation. How to play it? Not harshly, no, never harshly with Archie. It’s not that he’s delicate, well, a little, no, he just needs you to be kind. Kindness is what Archie needs. But Barney doesn’t know if he can give him that.

“You’re a great mate Archie, but like … ya can’t do that, alright? Can’t just …” What can’t Archie do? Kiss Barney so tenderly, so warmly? Give Barney one of those looks that makes him feel… different? No, Archie can’t just force this all on Barney when he doesn’t even know what he wants. When he doesn’t want to think about it.

“Yep. Yes. You’re right. Just … misread … Rae needs me, so…”

“Arch!” Archie had half expected Barney to come rushing after him. But for what? An explanation? To confess his undying love? To laugh at him? But Barney seemed to stay put or at least he didn’t try to come and find Archie. Actually, Archie didn’t see him for the rest of the night but that might have something to do with him trying to avoid anyone who wasn’t the gang. Archie stayed wedged in-between Finn and Rae for the rest of the party, much annoyance to Finn who had planned to actually spend some quality time alone with his girlfriend but got lumbered with Archie getting drunker and more dependable throughout the night until he finally fell asleep next to Jonjo’s washing machine.

*

The next time Archie and Barney saw each other, it was just as uncomfortable as Archie had imagined. Back at college, he had managed to avoid most people. ‘Stay under the radar’. That was what he’d told Rae during her first week of college last year and now he was taking his own advice. For once. Unfortunately, this plan only stretched so far, and Archie had to force himself to go into the common room to get Amy Whittle’s spare copy of ‘The Great Conquerors’. He almost managed to escape when Barney cornered him next to the radio, looking extremely flustered. “Archie, can we, urm, chat, quick?”

“I’ve gotta get to History, Mr Pen…” Archie tried to manoeuvre out of Barney’s reach, but the taller lad strategically placed his arm across the wall, blocking Archie’s way. “Look, mate. You’re great, super, yeah so great. I just… I’m not like you. ‘lright? I mean kissing a few times, it don’t mean nothing, right?” He said this in a harsh whisper, something Archie hadn’t experienced until now. Of course, most guys wouldn’t appreciate their newly-openly gay friend kissing them and going around moping about it. And Archie hadn’t expected Barney to run into his arms. But what had he expected, really? Of course there was going to be not-so-happy feelings coming from Barney.

“Yeah, sorry. I..I’ve just been a bit.. you know?” Archie didn’t even know what he’d been. Lonely, yes. But it wasn’t just that. It was a bunch of things. Everything was suddenly becoming too much. “Yeah, I know, mate. But still… gotta be careful. Some guys couldn’t take it as well as me. I’m pretty chill.”

“Yeah, well, just a kiss.” And Archie becoming increasingly obsessed with this boy.

“Yeah, exactly. Or two, eh? I’m glad we cleared that up, mate.” Barney’s hard slap on Archie’s shoulder made him jump and he could have sworn Barney held quite a firm grip onto Archie longer than needed. As if he was lingering. Waiting for something.

“Or three. Three.” Archie watched Barney walk away, he kept his eyes on him until he walked out of the common room and the bell rang.

Ya know. I haven’t done this for a while 💁🏻‍♀️

Here’s something, don’t ask me when it is. Or how it started. Long time no see MMFD fandom ✌🏼

P.s I know I’ve got other works not completed. I got bored easily, didn’t feel my fan fic writing was exciting enough. This shit is hard, but every now and then I come back and have a snoop xoxo

Title: One Shot Wonder

(Insert) - this has nothing to do with the main story line, only the main characters.

Rae POV:

Fucking rain again. One day, I just needed one day of sunshine in this shitbox of a town. But, of course, Stamford new how to kick me up the rear when going gets tough. Why I chose to stay here was beyond me, I would rather be living it up in a city somewhere on the other side of the country. Actually, fuck this continent, take me somewhere else. Anywhere else.. Well, right now anyway.

Yeah, I’ve had a bad day. The day Oasis release their reunion album - on vinyl only! Is the day my car decides to shit itself, and the clouds open up and piss all over my already bad day. So now here I am trudging through the puddles that have collectively grouped together, (I swear just for me), just to get my copy before it’s sold out. Stamford is a small town, Jono told me Thursday that they were only getting a limited amount of copies and that he had lots of interest in them already. I ain’t missing out. Even if that means being cold, shitty, and wet like rag doll. I’m getting my hands on a copy.

If only you had taken finn up on his offer the other day.

My subconscious snaps. Or really I should say my inner bitch. I imagine her as a tall, thin blonde, with banging legs and a great rack. All the things I’m not. But hey, she does look great cracking the whip and lighting a fire up my ass when I over think shit.

Like with Finn, a gorgeous man barking up the wrong tree. Well, I think he’s barking up my tree. He’s sweet, and broody. A total god from his head to his toes. He’s asked to do things with me, and go places but I shut down completely when I’m around him. My intelligent brain turns to complete moosh, and I blush like a bloody beetroot. All red and clammy, total suttering mess. And still he call me girl, and the odd ‘love’.

I shake my head. I’m over thinking once again, he’s just being polite. I must just keep him entertained, I mean my mouth has a mind of its own. Yap, yap, yap. When I’m not stuttering. He smiles, laughs, and gives feed back. Comfortable... Just friends. Yeah, that’s it. Friends.

I stepped over another puddle, only to side step into another. Nice going Rae, you’ll look like a wet noodle by the time you arrive at the record store. Scare all the customers away, then I can get my hands on that sweet, sweet candy. I was another 5 blocks away atleast, down Lane drive until I reach Sturt Avenue, which of course leads to Main Street. Which oldly enough hosts 80% of the shops around this cramped town. It was only just before 8am, close enough to their open time to make me panic and pick up speed.

I didn’t hear them at first. I was to focused on getting to the shop to register what was happening around me. When I felt the pull on my arm did I then realise someone was trying to get my attention, in a very informal way. I stopped, and moved way from the touch immediately. “Calm down darl. Didn’t you here me calling ya name?” Of course my day just had to get worse.

Liam was there looking a little bit disheveled but otherwise clean. He had become a lot more rounder around the middle since I had seen him last. His face aged beyond his years, it had been nearly 10 years since I hooked up with him in freshman year at a college in Leeds. It was not pleasant and I was very drunk. I blame Chloe, and Izzy, and chop, and Archie for that night. They practical poured the liquor down my throat all night, my 18th birthday. I was the baby of the group, even though I didn’t look like it. I started when I was only 17, high grades in high school allowed me to graduate early.

Chloe, also a freshman, or aka the queen of the gang. Blonde, skinny, wealthy and an absolutely sweetheart. She looks like she drags her fingernails down a chalkboard for a living, and trust me she has her moods. But she has been my best friend for 10 years. Izzy, a bubbly little petite ginger and also a freshman. Chop, who was a senior was a typical textbook “clown”, and had a wickedly dirty mouth. I think my then virginal ears use to bleed back then. Archie, my beautiful boy. Gay and as sexy as hell, in a I’m in love with a nerd sort of way. My crush on him lasted 2 weeks when we first met. Until he drunkenly let it slip on our ‘first date’ I just laughed and popped the top button on my jeans there was no need for me to remain uncomfortable anymore. Then there was finn, who arrived at our school in his senior year, when I was a junior. He was hot, broody and a total jock. Not that he acted that way. No he was an old soul.

Izzy and Chop got married 2 years ago, stayed in Leeds and started a family. One baby, a adorable peach fuzzy little boy named Timmy. Chloe married a screenwriter named johnathon 5 years ago, they both moved to London together straight after university. They are a beautiful couple, who would rather share dogs and careers, than a baby. Archie is dating a handsome man by the name of Eric, nearly coming up a year. Currently traveling Europe, destination Italy. I got a postcard the other day. Finn and I decided to both move back to Stamford after university, I more so for my mum who was still of a bitter old women since my dad walked out, and lonely non the less. Finn graduated with a business degree, and I majored in English literature. He opened a small mechanic shop, east of Main Street. He even went back to school to earn his trade as an auto technician so he could do most of the work himself. And I, I brought the old book shop, and on the side I do some free lancing writing for different publishers. We both sit quite pretty these days.

“Jesus Rae, you looking a bit wet there love. Didn’t know you would be that happy to see me” Liam tried to joke. Failing miserably, but not noticing I couldn’t give a fuck because he was to obsorbed in himself and what he said. I had known Liam since I was 5, but only by name and face, not until university that is. And ever since then whenever he sees me he will always, always try to get my attention. I didn’t see him very often, but he was hard to shake off.

“Is there something you needed Liam? I’m kind of in a rush and...” I was cut of mid sentence by obnoxious snort from liam. His whole demeanour changed. He became tight and Ridget, his jaw squared and now he was sporting a pretty pissed off scowl. Wow, that’s different.

“Ya always have some excuse don’t cha Rae. I’m only trying to be nice to ya, but your always mugging me off, making me look like a twit” he spat with distain, I stepped back further until I didn’t care that I was standing directly in a puddle. I just wanted distance. But that didn’t work. I was suddenly pushed up against an old bus stop, scared and fucking mad.

“Liam get off me! I will scream if you do not let me go right now!” I sounded panicked but that was only because I was petrified. This had never happened to me, willingly or otherwise.

“Oh shut up you dumb whore. Ya should I should of just taken ya that night. Yan were so ready for me” he breathed in my face and That’s when I smelt the beer on his breath, and notice how bloodshot is eyes truely were. He was drunk, the bastard is out of his fucking mind and drunk

“I will scream if you do not let me go. I will defend myself, so fuck off” I tugged my left hand out of his grip, which he had pinned against the glass. I then through my left elbow directly into his face. The momentum of the elbow dazed Liam and he went stumbling back as he clutched his jaw in pain. I was now successful free from his hold. I kicked him straight in the dick and watched the big guy fall. Acting like a total pansy, crying and swearing, and that made me happy. I kicked him again, this time in the stomach - just for good measure.

“You think it’s O-fucking-Kay to grab me or anyone else like that you dirty Bastard!” Kick! “I’ve had a fucking, shit morning and now here you are to make it even worse” kick! “You ever come near me or if you even think about me or communicating with me in any way again I will chop your dick off and feed it to you” kick! I backed up a bit more when Liam started to pull himself off the ground, slowly but surely. So, maybe I wasn’t being as rough with him as I though I was.

Running seemed cowardly, but even with my epic fit just moments ago it didn’t get anyone’s attention, I didn’t want to be alone with this maniac. Run.

“Oh no you fucking don’t” crunch! I spun around just in time to see Liam practically melt to the ground, and Finn shaking his fist. Finn! Where did he come from? “Rae! Rae, are you alright? Are you hurt?” He was panting slightly, and once again my brain turned to moosh. “Are you in shock?” I shook my head, and he relaxed slightly.

“Finn- uh, where- where were you?” I stuttered. “I always go for a run before I’m off to the shop, this is my route, I just happened to be coming around the corner to see you kicking the shit out of him” he pointed to Liam’s unconscious body “I thought you’d be alright but when you tried to get away, he tried to grab you again. So I did the only thing I could think of” he blushed, he actually fucking blushed.

“Thanks. I-I, thank you” I was glad that the rain had decided to let up at that point. Whilst I looked like a drowned rat, he on the other hand looked amazing. Slightly pink cheeks from the run, a beanie firmly in place of his head. His waterproof rain jacket look shinny from the water droplets, and mine started to squelch every time I moved -perfect.

“That’s alright. Where were you off to? In the rain” he looked puzzled, well until I explained to him what has happened throughout my crap-sastic morning.

“I would of done the same thing, maybe if it was blur” he cheekily replied. “Look I live honestly 3 houses down” he pointed to a lovely red brick house “I know you said you didn’t need a ride, but do you really want to walk the rest of the way after what just happened?” He questioned and I evaluated in my head whether it was a good idea or not.

Liam let out a small grown and I practically leaped off the ground and moved further away from his body. I was scared, I didn’t want to take the chance of this happening again. “I’ll take up your offer thank you” I nodded and smiled.

“Finally!” He murmured.

“Wha- what do you mean finally?”

“Are you really that oblivious, Rae?” I nodded. “I’ve had a crush on you for the last 6 years, and in those 6 years I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to do something with you, or offer for me to take you somewhere, and you always turn me down. In a Rae kind of way” I shrugged it off, but I could tell that I really hurt him. I had a small inkling that he was interesting but in all fairness, I never in a million years thought it was true. I just thought he was being polite.

“I’m sorry” I murmured.

“Me too. I should of just told you how I felt, I was a coward.”

We walked side by side over to his house, leaving Liam still laying on the pavement where he belonged. Today has been a total unexpected shock.

“Do you wanna go out with me? Do you want to, like, do something today or tonight? With me. Of course, like as a date?” Oh, he was nervous and It was so cute to see.

“Yes I would. I’m a bit wet though, and don’t you have work?”

“I’m the boss, I choose my own times. Plus Barry is already working, I’m sure he will do fine by himself. I’ll give him a ring when I get inside. And I’m also sure we can swing by your house after the record shop so you can get into some dry clothes. I’d offer to go by your house first if I didn’t know you better, but I knew you’d never go for it after you see the time.”

8:13am FUCK!!

I marched fast over to the passenger door and waited what felt like a whole year for Finn up run inside and get his keys, opting to stay in his running gear. We jumped in the car and he started the ignition.

“Ready girl?” He turned to look at me. I swear he meant more then just ‘are you ready to go to the shop’, no this felt more personal, special even. I smiled because yes I was ready.

“Of course. Lead the way and I’ll follow”

They lived happily ever after - together!

Thinking out loud

This is something silly i wrote in 20 mins and i just want to share with you guys. I cant tag anyone because im on my phone. Enjoy and sorry for any mistakes. She was drunk. She had reached the level of drunkenness where she started thinking about love and how she thought she would never ever find someone to love who would love her back. At this point in her life she has had zero relationships, a few friendly fumbles here and there and she slept with one guy. He was nice but emotionally unavailable so nothing to love there. She doesn’t regret sleeping with him, it felt nice to be wanted in the moment. When she figured out that those fleeting sexy moments were all she was getting from him she decided to end whatever they were doing. So here she is, drunk and sad and horny. Horny for love. Late at night, stuck on a party boat. Yes. A fucking party boat. There is no way off unless she swims back to shore and there is no way in hell she’ll do that. “Don’t wanna freeze me damn tits off” she chuckles out loud, to no one in particular. She has lost her friends but she doesn’t care. They probably aren’t even looking for her because everyone is too busy kissing their boyfriends. She hates being the single one of the group sometimes. It’s very unfair how they ditch her all the time. Fuck them, she thinks and starts to walk back to the party deck. She hears they are now playing romantic songs and the temptation rises to jump off the boat. In all of her drunkenness she listens closely to the lyrics and of course, she starts crying. Fuck you Ed Sheeran. It’s the song about loving each other until they’re 70. Fuck why am I so emotional, she thinks. Probably period hormones raging through her. "Hey, are you alright?” A young handsome man approaches her and gently puts his hand on her shoulder. Sniffing she shakes her head. "What’s wrong? Can I help you? I’m Finn, what’s your name?” he looks worried and Rae can’t help but notice his warm brown eyes. "I’m Rae, and it’s this fucking song” she gestures to the dance floor. "Oh” he relaxes but doesn’t take his hand away from her “yeah the song is pretty awful. Fuck whoever sings this”. Rae widens her eyes “No! The song is beautiful, that’s the problem. I’m sad I’ll never get a love like that.” Finn looks confused but nods. “Um, okay sorry. But I don’t think you should be sad, I’m sure you’ll find someone”. Rae just looks down and shakes her head. Finn isn’t sure why the sadness of this pretty girl is affecting him but he can’t help it and next thing he knows he is offering to dance with her. She takes a minute to think about it but then accepts. The song is ending in about 2 minutes but for those minutes Rae enjoys the feeling of slow dancing. She looks at Finn, the kind stranger who is helping this drunk sad girl and smiles warmly at him. "Thank you” she whispers in his ear and then leaves a kiss on his cheek. He kisses her back, closer to the edge of her mouth and Rae’s horniness creeps out of its cave. She holds him closer, to test the waters and he doesn’t move away. Oh well, she thinks and kisses him full on the mouth. He quickly takes control of the kiss by grabbing her face and guiding her. What started out as a gentle kiss is slowly transforming into a passionate make out session, groping included. But Finn being the gentleman he is stops the kiss before it gets even more heated. "What’s wrong?” she asks, her voice dripping in sex. He swallows and reminds himself she is drunk and sad and he is better than that. "Look Rae, you seem like a very cool girl and I want to continue this,” he gestures between them, “but maybe some other time? Let’s dance some more alright?” He can see the disappointment in her eyes but she agrees. "To be continued?” she asks seductively. He nods vigorously and winks. "To. Be. Continued."

When Your Real Life Becomes Fic-Like

* Note: I wrote this the day it happened and saved it as a note on my phone, hence the tense.*

I’m currently in London, and just LOST MY MIND. (No, I did not meet Nico or any other sweet faced, hot bodied, sex voiced famous.)

I was on the bus (242, towards Aldgate, top deck); it was packed so the boy and I had to sit separately. The man sitting beside me got off, but before the boy could join me, another passenger got on and took the seat. She was (and be mindful I’m terrible at guessing age) maybe late 20s or early 30s? Glasses, brown hair, septum piercing, eyes on her phone the way people do.

I was looking out the window, not paying her any attention until I felt her giggling next to me. I looked over and she had this cheeky little grin as she kept scrolling, like one would get when they get a good text from someone they like. I thought “aw cute” and went back to minding my business. A few minutes later though, she’s not giggling anymore. She’s sniffling. From the corner of my eye I see her wiping away a tear. I was sort of having an internal panic about whether to awkwardly offer her a tissue, or awkwardly ignore it, (I, personally, would like the latter) but then...she was smiling again. Big. And I couldn’t help it, I looked at her screen. My stupid, curious, human instinct was to be a creeper. And, WOW, was it the last thing I expected.

This complete random stranger that happened to sit next to me on a bus in a country I’m visiting, WAS READING MY FAN FICTION‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨

I probably inhaled all the oxygen on the bus with a not-so-subtle gasp of sheer shock while my eyes got big and panicky and my face very red, which the boy and I have affectionately dubbed the “danger face”. He saw me and immediately knew something was amiss but I just shook my head then tried to stop every muscle in my body from moving because, well, SHE 👏🏼 WAS 👏🏼 READING 👏🏼 MY 👏🏼 FUCKING 👏🏼 WRITING 👏🏼!!!!!!!!

She switched seats shortly after that, maybe because she recognized me , or - more likely - just thought I was a weird tourist who was making her uncomfortable. But still, that was simultaneously the most amazing, flattering, uncomfortable moment of my life. She laughed, and smiled, and teared. My stupid words did that! And even though I get so much support on here (and AO3), seeing a person sat right next to me enjoying this thing I wrote as a hobby??? I mean, come on!

Thank you, stranger. You made my day. ♥️

A Rave story

A Rave Story part 2

A Rave Story part 3

A Rave Story part 4

A Rave Story Part 5

A Rave Story Part 6

A Rave Story Part 7

A Rave Story part 8

He fucked up it was the only explanation there could be well maybe he was being too hard on himself maybe Rae didn’t want anything more serious, maybe she just wanted something casual but why open up the way she did. No it had to have been something he did for Rae not to leave a number to call her by. He was still berating himself for not getting it sooner. Finn groaned for the umpteenth time that week, He got to the pub on a busy Friday night to meet Archie and Chop for the first time in days, he had just finish a very busy week. He found them sitting at their usual table in the corner surrounded by band posters. He went to the bar to order a fosters, he walked to the table with his drink a few minutes latter and sat next to Archie.

“Hey mate ya look exhausted” Archie stated seeing the bruises under Finns eyes and the weariness in them as Finn gave him a grumpy look.

“You would be two if ya had to work your two hour show, help with innovatory, and then go to ya da’s right after work to help go though twenty some odd years of junk for a yard sale for tomorrow” Finn huffed than took a long gulp of his beer. Both Archie and Chop gave him sympathetic looks and taking sips of their drinks.

“Well that explains why ya haven’t been to the pub this week. So why is Gary havin’ a yard sale?” Chop asked than took a drink of his snakebite.

“Ah he’s selling the house, it’s too big just for him and wants to move in with his girlfriend Rose. Frankly I think its about time.” Finn huffed out a laugh before taking a drink of his beer. Finn was happy that his dad was downsizing to a smaller place it was just too big for one person and glad he would be with Rose Finn really liked her and was glad his dad found some happiness with someone.

“So what happened with Rae when ya left the party Saturday?” Chop’s interest was peeked with this bit of news as he turned his attention to Finn knowing that Rae was the girl he shagged from the rave nearly two weeks before.

“We went to me flat because she wanted her knickers back then listened to music talked a bit-”

“So did she let ya touch her lady bits again?” Chop asked whilst wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, Finn sneered at him in annoyance whilst Archie slapped him upside of the head shaking his head. “What I was just curious!” Chop complained while sulking at Archie before tuning to Finn.

“We were intimate if ya must know and no I’m not giving ya details Chop. Anyway I woke up, she’s gone, no number but I found the kickers she wore that night and the red ones gone” Finn shook his head still running the night in his head trying to see where he went wrong or where he got his signals crossed but came up blank again.

“Well did ya find time to talk to her at Town Records?” Archie asked before taking a sip of his drink as Finn shook his head.

“She’s on holiday in Tunisia this week according to the quick chat I had with Rob at the party”

“Hay maybe she left her knickers there on purpose to have an excuse to stop by when she comes back. Did Rob tell ya when that would be?” Chop offered as an explanation trying to be helpful. Finn shrugged than shook his head.

“Sometime late tonight or tomorrow but I would figure she still would leave a number so we could call each other to talk makes plans or sommat when she got back” Finn gulped down the rest of his fosters leaning back in his chair.

“Do ya know when she had to leave?” Finn looked at Archie with furrowed brows thinking.

“I know it was Sunday but not the time she needed to leave by, Why?”

“Well maybe ya kept her up too late that night and she woke up seeing she was running or was late and didn’t have time to give ya her number” Archie suggested as the voice of reason.

“Well I hope that was it because I really like her and I feel we made a connection. I just hate to think that my relationship is over before it began because I may have fucked it up” Finn put his face in his hands in defeat, Archie put his hand on Finns back in comfort.

“Finn don’t think that ok, ya didn’t fuck up”

“I could have Izzy invite Rae to the rave tomorrow night and ya can talk to her then if she’s not too tired that is”

“I’m not in the mood to go to another rave after this week I think I want to catch up on sleep but thanks” Finn sighed. “I’ll just have to wait until Monday to see her and talk, that is if she even wants to” Finn chew his lower lip worriedly as Archie and Chop hoped it would work out with Rae to them she seemed cool and a perfect match for Finn music wise anyways. They spent time talking about what Archie and Chop have been up to during the week which was mostly Chop hanging out with Izzy and Archie with Rob, drinking more rounds of beer as the night wore on. Finn made it home in the early hours of the morning wishing it was Monday but fearing it, dreading the possibility of rejection.

*************************

Rae woke up the next morning after getting only five hours sleep, she got in late the night before from the airport. She turned to grab her mobile phone looking for the umpteenth time that week for messages form Finn and seeing nothing. She closed her eyes and groaned yet again and wondering if she had scared him off, it had to be the only explanation. Her phoned buzzed suddenly making her drop it on the floor.

“Fuck” Rae growled as she leaned over the edge of the bed to retrieve it from where it landed. She answered it when she saw it was Chloe. “Hello” Rae said still a bit groggy.

“Hey Rae I was wondering if ya wanted to stop by the chippy to get something to eat and talk. I want to know all about ya trip and the party Saturday” Chloe said as Izzy was taking in the background asking what shoes she should wear for the rave tonight. “Oh those defiantly Iz, sorry about that Rae um do ya want to come?” Rae wanted to say no but her stomached growled and she needed to get up anyways.

“Yeah just give me an hour and I’ll be by, ok” Rae said as she was getting some underwear out and walked to the bathroom.

“Ok babes see ya then” Rae hung up and took a quick shower that woke her up a bit more, she dried off before putting on her black lacy bra and matching knickers and walked back to her room to decide on what to wear. Once dressed she made her way to the chippy.

“Hiya Chloe, where’s Izzy?” Rae sat down opposite Chloe looking around the almost empty chippy.

“Oh she couldn’t make it had to run an errand for her mum last minute” Chloe said looking bummed before taking a bite of the food she ordered.

“Oh” Rae said with saddens in her tone she had really missed her friends over the week and wanted to spend time with them. “I’ll go order something and tell ya what happened at the party last Saturday. Chloe nodded as Rae went to order from Deloris, she sat back down with her order soon after and started into her tale of what happened.    

“So ya left ya knickers behind again!” Chloe shook her head as Rae had told her what happened at the party and at Finns flat latter that night.

“Yep but I did get me other ones back” Rae huffed as she rolled her eyes shaking her head at herself before taking a bite out of her chip than a sip of her coke.

“This is becoming a habit Rae”

“Tell me about it Chloe, why hasn’t he called? I had to have scared him away with opening up to fast, I should have kept me mouth shut” Rae scrunched up her face in regret as Chloe looked at her with anger in her eyes for Finn. “My relationship is over before it began”

“Ya know what Rae Fuck him” Chloe said curtly.

“I did Chloe twice” Rae quipped rolling her eyes as Chloe shook her head.

“That’s not what I meant Rae I mean write him off if you sharing a small part of ya past scares this dickhead off so easily than he’s not worth it and its better to know now than latter” Rae gave her friend a small smile apprenticing her best mates words and attempt to cheer her up.

“I know but god Chlo I felt we connected but apparently I read too much into it, I really like him” Rae pushed the rest of her food aside not feeling as hungry as she was earlier. Chloe reached across and took hold of Rae’s hand.

“Rae why don’t ya come with Izzy and I to this rave and confront this dickhead he should be there, Chop and Archie will. And when ya tell him off for shaggin’ and dashin’ ya you can have a good time with me and we can try to pull some fit blokes. What d’ya say?” Chloe looked hopefully at her as Rae’s face fell.

“First Chloe I did the dashing not him and I can’t, have to baby-sit jazz today with dad and mum working” Chloe looked crestfallen.

“I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to do it, I know where he lives” Rae smirked and determined to find out why Finn didn’t call her. Chloe told Rae to tell her all about it when she did, the next hour was spent talking about the wedding she went too and Karim’s family before Rae and Chloe said their goodbyes and Rae headed to her mum and dads for the evening. She wished she could just stop time and not have to face the next day and the possibility of rejection.

*************************** Now where is a fairy godmother and godfather (no not that kind from the movie) when you need one to help these two dickheads get to the ball um I mean rave and talk. *looks up while whistling and twiddles thumbs*  

look no evil cackle i can be nice

My Mad Fat Diary Fanfic - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Aftermath

it's the aftermath of the party - Archie had the best night but now he's questioning himself. and that's never a good sign.

I actually quite like this chapter! Enjoy x

Also posted on ao3; https://archiveofourown.org/works/20154688/chapters/88625431

Barney took hold of Archie’s head with his hands, just as he did during spin the bottle. He started to slowly drag his fingers through Archie’s hair, until he reached the top of his neck, caressing it slowly with his thumb… pushed his oval, pink lips onto Archie’s…

Archie played that moment in his head from the minute he and Barney drifted asleep next to each other in the bath until Izzy shook him to help clean up the flat. When Archie finally released himself from his slumber in Chop’s bath, he noticed that the space where Barney sat was empty. Once he walked into the landing, where the gang minus Chop who was still star fished along with Mark on his bedroom floor and Chloe who was refusing to help because she thought she was dying, were trying to sort the complete destruction that had happened last night, he realised he’s gone. Left him. Alone. In the bath. Just as he thought he would.

Archie dragged his legs and body over towards Rae, who was clearly in a huff for some reason or other. The most likely culprit was Finn, although Archie was still confused about why. He hadn’t managed to get anything out of Finn, most likely because he didn’t know himself. And he hadn’t spoken to Rae much last night.

“Where’s Finn?” Archie asked as he started picking up some ping pong balls covered in snakebite. He tried his best not to get covered in the old drink but failed.

“Don’t know. Don’t care, ‘lright? ‘es been fuckin’ pissing meh off, ‘specially last night.” Rae grabbed the two balls Archie had so far collected and threw them in her dustbin bag.

“Something happen?” Rae shook her head but had a sad look in her eye. Archie knew this look only too well. Of course something had happened, between Finn and Rae at least. But Archie couldn’t tell whose fault it was.

“Rae…” Archie moved towards Rae, placing his hand on her wrist, trying to give some comfort to her. She yanked it away, hard but gave him a sympathetic smile to apologise. She knew Archie was only trying to help, he never wanted to pry but Rae just didn’t want to get into that now.

“What about you, eh? Where’d ‘ya get off ‘ta last night? Hm?” Rae was extremely skilled at changing the subject, especially with Archie. But why wouldn’t she be curious? Archie and Barney disappeared together, and Rae didn’t see them again until this morning. This wasn’t the first time either. And Archie seemed pretty happy with himself this morning, he was the only one apart from Izzy, who was always that happy, looking like he’d won the lottery. “I’m waiting, Arch.”

“You know Rae, I honesty can’t remember. Think I fell asleep in the bath.” Archie tried to avoid Rae’s suspecting eyes, pulling his glasses off to clean them with his t-shirt. Both of them knew something special had happened. But Archie hoped only he knew exactly. It must have been obvious to everyone that Archie didn’t come back into the party for the rest of the night after he disappeared. It also must have been obvious that Barney never reappeared like Martin and Alice did.

“And Barne’?”

“Might have been there. But he left. I think. I swear Martin and Alice were there at some point too.”

“He’s outside, having a smoke.” Rae motioned towards the door, a small smirk appearing on her face. She didn’t look at Archie, not wanting to embarrass him too much. But she knew what was going on, of course she did. She wasn’t an idiot. She could tell.

“Martin?” Archie asked innocently, although he was sure Rae wouldn’t fall for it.

“Barne’!”

“Oh, right… I might just go see how he is. Was pretty rough last night.”

“Hm. You go do that, Arch!”

Almost sprinting down the stairs, Archie could see the shape of Barney through the gap of the front door which had been left open. Barney was perched against a lamppost and was smoking. He looked knackered, but that didn’t stop Archie from thinking he had never seen a man more beautiful than Barney in that moment. The sunlight caught her dark hair in just the right way, and he looked almost poetic the way the cigarette was being held. God, Archie fancied him. Preparing himself, Archie moved his glasses back into the right position and brushed down his t-shirt, ridding of any crumbs from last night.

“You alright mate?” Archie gave Barney a little wave as he walked closer. He made sure to not walk tpp quickly, not wanting to show how eager he was. Budging up next to Barney, leaving a little gap between the two, Archie made sure to make eye contact with the boy beside him.

“Not gonna lie to ‘ya Arch, I feel like utter shit. I might be dying. I dunno what ‘appened, if I’m ‘onest.” Barney placed the cigarette down on the garden wall, only for a second, and rubbed his face with his hands. Barney did feel awful, and he couldn’t remember much either. This wasn’t anything different, Barney spent most nights drinking these days. And when did drink, he drank hard. There was rarely a time that Barney remembered much when he drank. But that morning something was off. Had something happened? Barney felt this strange twinge when he spoke to Archie. There was something but he couldn’t quite figure it out.

Trying to pluck up the courage to talk about what had happened, Archie could only muster a simple question. “Do you remember anything? At all?”

“Nah, just … I think Martin gave me his pants,” He started to rummage in his back pocket and pulled out a red pair of boxers, cheekily waving them in Archie’s face to which Archie smacked him away. “But the whole night’s a blur, what about you?”

“Same. I’m the same. I remember a bit, but … yeah. Was good though. Gonna go clean. Need to clean up.”

“I’m hiding from Izzy, she can be right scary when she wants to be, ‘ya know.”

“Not gonna help?”

“Tiding’s not really my thing, mate. I’ll leave ‘ya too it. Say bye to Chop for me.” And with that Barney had stubbed his cigarette and scarpered, leaving Archie alone outside with Martin’s dirty red pants.

Well, that went well. Annoyed with himself for not even trying to mention anything that happened last night, Archie slowly dragged himself back up the stairs to Chop’s landing. Rae was still huffing about, picking up random cider and beer cans, ignoring everyone else in the room. Archie could just about see Finn hiding out in the kitchen, smoking probably not his first cigarette of the day. Chop had now joined him, lighting his own cigarette and looking almost dead. They were deep in conversation, clearly not wanting to be disturbed. Archie imagined Rae was topic of the conversation, but Archie had never seen Chop quite like this. He was clearly very hungover, but he almost looked upset. Archie had never seen Chop get this upset over Rae. Only one person had gotten him like this before. But weren’t Izzy and Chop OK now? Maybe not.

Archie thought best not to disturb them and made his way over to Chloe, who was perched on the arm of Chop’s ratty sofa. She had her eyes closed, and was swaying slightly, maybe trying to make herself not feel the worst she’s ever felt. Archie wasn’t sure the swaying was going to help though. Chloe forced herself to open her eyes before Archie was standing right in front of her, clearly, she could hear his footsteps. She took a deep breath before focusing up at the boy in front of her and tried to give him a smile, but it didn’t seem to appear.

“You don’t have a ciggie do ‘ya, Archie? I’m desperate for something that’ll make me feel like I’m actually human.” Chloe sighed, slipping down onto the chair dramatically.

Archie shook his head and joined her, not being able to get comfortable. Archie was there when Chop had bought this sofa. He’d decided to buy it off this dodgy guy he’d met in the pub one time. It absolutely stank when he and Finn helped Chop bring it to his flat. None of the girls had offered, but, honestly, Archie couldn’t blame them. It was quite possibly the most disgusting piece of furniture Archie had ever lain eyes on. It was proper rank, but Chop was happy so who were they to judge? Chop had that certain quality about him. He was easily pleased.

“Sorry, Chlo. I actually look after me body.” Archie wasn’t the biggest smoking, that was true, he never actually bought cigarettes himself. He didn’t particularly like smoking, he just did it for some reason. He could never really pull it off, not like Finn.

“Oh, piss off.” Chloe laughed, playfully bumping Archie’s shoulder slightly. “Did ‘ya have a good night though? Look kinda down.” Archie didn’t think it was that obvious, really. Okay, maybe it was obvious. It wasn’t that he hadn’t enjoyed it, because of course he had. It was the best night he’d had in ages. The happiest he felt in months. He’d woken up actually positive. Things were looking up. Going his way. And within not even a minute with Barney, had Archie realized that it wasn’t what he thought. It was a mistake. Something Barney hadn’t acknowledged, something he didn’t even remember. It may not have been a bad night, but Archie felt pretty bad right now.

“Yeah, yeah. Was great. Yeah.” Avoiding Chloe’s gaze and finding a small spot at the back of his neck to scratch, Archie knew he hadn’t sounded very convincing. What else could he say? He wasn’t even sure how he felt now. Yesterday, last night, it was still confusing but a good kind. But now? It seemed all fucked. What if Barney had remembered but didn’t want to mention it? What if he was too embarrassed? Too scared?

“Me neither. Jonjo tried it on with meh. Prick.” Chloe fell back against the sofa as she whispered the word ‘prick’, scrunching her nose up a little. Archie wasn’t surprised Chloe was fed up with some of the lads' bullshit. They could be cruel. They could also be dickheads.

“Somehow I’m not surprised.” Jonjo wasn’t an arsehole, but he was a horny 18-year-old lad who never seemed to get anywhere with girls. Archie wasn’t surprised about that.

“He’s not a prick, actually. He’s alright. But … I’m…” Chloe gave Archie a shrug, and he immediately knew what she meant and was trying to say. Sometimes people needed time, more than you would think. But that was OK. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

“I get it. I respect it too.”

“It’s not even that I’m not ready and I want to. I don’t. I like everything how it is. Being single isn’t that bad, ‘ya know.” In that moment it sounded like Chloe was trying to convince herself that more than anything, but maybe that was a good thing. It took time to believe in something. It didn’t just happen, people needed time to change.

“I never thought I’d hear you say that.” Archie blurted that out, he hadn’t meant for it to come across like that. It sounded almost…hurtful. He quickly turned to face Chloe, to see what the damage was. But she just shrugged her shoulders. She wasn’t hurt, or at least she was just very good at not showing it.

“Well, there ‘ya go. Some Chloe Gemmell rare advice for you Arch. It’s alright being on your own sometimes.”

“But if you’re lonely?”

“We can be lonely together. Everything’s better with two. Are you lonely Archie?”

“N-no, nah. I’m fine. Know how it is sometimes.” Archie gave Chloe a small smile and bumped her elbow ever so slightly with his. Archie did know what it was like. Sometimes it felt like he was the only person in the world or at least the only person who knew how it felt. It was hard, sometimes.

“Yeah. I do.” Chloe nodded, clearly in her own thoughts now. She quickly snapped out of it and turned around, searching the room. Her eyes locked onto her best friend, who was currently becoming more aggravated with the pile of rubbish circling her. “I better go help Rae, you comin’?”

Archie nodded but let Chloe leave him for a minute. Maybe Archie was lonely. Maybe he was very lonely. But he wasn’t alone, if that made any sense. He had people, friends, his family. They were all there for him and would support him no matter what. But that didn’t change anything; it didn’t change how he felt. Sometimes Archie wished it would, he wished it would just go away. He sometimes didn’t understand why he felt like this. His life wasn’t that hard, was it? Compared to others, Archie’s life was a dream. But that didn’t stop him feeling how he did. Feeling so lonely.

Archie didn’t want to wallow in any more self-pity. He moved his eyes around to room, watching his friends tidy up the mess they’d made last night. He eyes kept going until they found Izzy. She was alone at the back of the room, clearly wanting to avoid anyone. Something wasn’t quite right. Archie couldn’t think of a time when Izzy wasn’t wearing that cute, little smile, trying to make everyone happy. The first time they’d met Izzy, Archie was the one who warmed to her first. It was that infectious smile. She was clearly quite nervous, some of the lads could be quite intimidating. But after being introduced to Archie, it didn’t seem to faze her anyone.

Archie started to walk over to Izzy, not wanting to disturb her but to check up on her. She was in her own world, focusing on the stains in the carpet, scrubbing them relentlessly. She was scrubbing so much that she didn’t hear Archie’s steps and didn’t notice him until his dirty converse were right in front of her.

“Sorry Iz, I was just-��Izzy looked up at Archie, a sombre look on her face. Her eyes were almost tearful, had she been crying?

“You alright, Archie? Has something happened?” That was short. Izzy rarely spoke to anyone like that. She never seemed to be in a mood or have the hump. Something definitely happened last night.

“No, I’m fine. Do I honestly look that upset?”

“Only a little. But I get it. It wasn’t the best night, was it?”

“No, it wasn’t.” Izzy stopped scrubbing and sat up against the wall. She clearly wasn’t happy. Archie motioned to sit next to her, taking to sponge from her hand and laying it between the two. “Rae and Finn argued for most of the night. Even more, after you disappeared. Chloe was sick about 6 times. And I can’t even talk to Chop right now. I thought this party was supposed to get everyone back together. How has it made it worse?” She sighed, shaking her head.

“I don’t know. I don’t know.” Archie shook his head. He hadn’t released everyone has had such a shit night. It made him feel slightly better about the Barney situation. At least he wasn’t the only one.

“Sorry, I’m being a right melt. You sure, you’re okay?” Izzy pulled a concerned face and reached out for Archie’s arm, squeezing it slightly. Izzy was very good at reading people; she could always tell when something was wrong. That’s one of the things Archie loved about her. But right now, that quality was more of a curse than a blessing.

“I am now I’m with you. You always cheer me up.”

“I don’t feel much like cheering anyone up, but I’ll make an exception for you.” “I’m honoured.” Archie smirked and with that, Izzy picked up the sponge and moved to the kitchen. Archie wondered if she and Chop would have a talk. He hoped so. Archie thought back to that night. He thought about everything that had happened up until he saw Barney in the bathroom.

Barney took hold of Archie’s head with his hands, just as he did during that spin-the-bottle game. He started to slowly drag his fingers through Archie’s hair, until he reached the top of his neck, caressing it slowly with his thumb… pushed his oval, pink lips onto Archie’s…

Barney didn’t remember any of it. One of the best moments Archie’s had for a long time. And it’s like it never happened.

Rae POV:

"Finn?"

"Give me your hand, I promise I won't let you fall" he spoke softly.

The blindfold restricted my view but I followed the melody of his voice until my hand grabbed his. My grip tightened as we shuffled forward, slowly but surely we made it to what seemed like an elevator. Since the blindfold was placed over my eyes the moment we got into the car, I still had no idea where we were, and what building we were in - but by the sound of it we were still in the city.

Finn's hand stayed firmly in mine, but his other hand wondered over my shoulder, up my neck, until finally he was cupping my cheek. I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face, unknown as to if his smile was just a pronounced as mine.

"I have loved you from the moment I met you. Your laugh, your... smile-" Finn moved his finger over my bottom lip making my smile grow even wider, "-You are everything to me. And I've tried living without you once, but everyday I constantly had to battle with myself not to go around there and beg you to take me back."

"Finn-"

"No, no. Please just let me say something first" he interrupted. We were still on our journey up in the elevator, my stomach was in knots but I was unsure if it was caused by the elevator or Finn.

"Without you, I wouldn't have my children. Without you, I would never of known what true love was. Without you, my life would of been a whole lot different."

"Shit" I whispered, but in all honestly it sounded more like a choked sob. Using my free hand, I ducked my fingers under the blindfold and wiping away the build up of tears.

Finn laughed, "I'm not me without you..." the bell tinged and the doors opened. A gust of wind hit my body suddenly and I shivered, in that moment I was glad that I still had my coat on.

We walked together slowly in a straight line, until coming to a holt some seconds later. Much to my dismay Finn let go of my hand.

"Take your blindfold off babe" he whispered in my ear causing a small fright.

I pulled it over my head and opened my eyes to a beautiful sight. Thousands of fairy lights scattered the roof top, twinkling against the Manhattan night life. Finn stood in front of me a smile dazzled his face as he took in my reaction.

"This is amazing" I breathed, wiping away another fallen tear.

"I would do anything to make you happy again."

Finn fell to one knee and looked up to me. My heart started to beat incredibly fast, my palms started to sweat. I didn't think he would do this so soon in our relationship.

"I told myself if i was going to do this again, I was going to do this right" he grabbed my left hand, "I know you better then you know yourself. I know that you feel hesitant about rushing our relationship, and you may feel that this step in our relationship is coming towards you too fast. But, in a perfect world we would still be married. I know I hurt you with stupid words, but I promise you I'll spent the rest of our lives together making it up to you. I promise that I will do everything in my power to make you happy. I love you Rachel, I love you so much that I will never give up trying until you say yes to me. So, with that all said and done. Will you Rachel Earl please do me the honour of being my wife, again?"

My heart ached with my decision, everything now fell on my shoulders. Do I void every doubt I have about saying yes and just do it, just jump head first and never look back. Or do I turn down the man I love because of my insecurities and the independence I've only just gotten a hold of?

I loved Finn with all my heart; I always have, even over the two years we spent apart. Right now looking a Finn waiting for my answer I knew I didn't have long to figure it out. I just hoped I was making the right decision.

"I like waffles most Sundays, unless I'm on a one day diet. My washing done on Wednesday, and my towels folded a particular way. I never want us to go to bed mad at each other, or without a kiss goodnight. I expect a foot rub at least once a month, plus I like the idea of you learning to pain my toenails." I rambled on whilst stroking his face with my free hand.

"I want us to do something at least once a week as a family, no matter what our work schedules are like. And I need to make a promise to you..."

I had realised it didn't matter what kind of routine I had orchestrated for myself Finn would always have a place; as the kids dad, and the love of my life.

I now understood the pain I put Finn through when I left him without talking to him first. It looked like I never trusted him, even though I truely did and I think that's why it hurt so much. I would never of believed that Finn was cheating on me without proof, they just obviously knew my weakness and took advantage of a situation. Finn was never at fault, and I punished him for two years. No wonder why he was so bitter towards me. His attacks where out of sheer anger, hurt and frustration. I wish I could turn back time, to the day this all started.

But here he was, down on one knee begging me to remarry him - the one who ripped his heart to threads. I could see the honesty in his eyes when he promised to make me happy til the day I die, I knew he would succeed. How could I possibly turn down his proposal because we are doing this faster then the average person?

"... I promise that I will come to you before jumping to conclusions no matter what... I promise I will never leave you again like that again. I want to make you happy as well Finn, and if me becoming your wife again will do that, then I think you should hurry up and slide that pretty rock on my finger."

"What?"

"You heard me.. Yes! Yes I'll marry you!"

His hand reached into his jacket pocket, and out he pulls a red velvet run box, but still he doesn't open it quite yet.

"Are you sure Rae?"

"Of course I'm sure. Why wouldn't I be?" I scoffed playfully.

"To be honest I thought you would of been a harder nut to crack" he jokes back, "I thought I'd have to ask you at least a few times first before you would finally give in to my charms".

He flicked the box open and pulled out a stunning oval cut diamond ring, the band itself was also a halo of diamonds. Grabbing my hand again he slid the ring onto my finger and stood to kiss me.

His lips were soft against mine, which where no doubt wet by the amount of tears I had been shedding. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer without breaking the moment.

We stayed there for another fifteen minutes until the cold wind got the better of us. Once we were in the elevator again I realised we were on the roof of Finn's office building. A place I remember always begging Finn to take me when he wasn't busy, but we never got the chance - until now.

We went down to Finn's floor and towards his overly lavish office. I couldn't help but notice the vacant desk where Olivia use to be seated. Finn must of noticed my curiosity because he pulled us to a stop.

"I'm never going to let that happen I promise".

I smiled, "I know but your going to need another personal assistant someday. Archie has told me about the mess you've been through since she was fired".

"Yes I know. But don't worry about that now, we have some celebrating to do" I laughed as he pulled me into his office and slammed the door.

The furniture looked new, which surprised me because the desk he use to have belonged to his grandfather. I never thought in a million years he would ever get rid of it.

I ran my fingers across his brand new plush chair before testing out the comfort, whilst Finn rummaged through the cabinet again the wall.

"I've got enough scotch to sink a battle ship".

I sighed dramatically, "oh well that will just have to do won't it Mr. Nelson".

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with a good top shelf scotch!" Finn pouted grabbing two glasses and proceeded to pour us a drink.

"To the future" Finn toasted.

"To an incredible future..." We clinked our glasses together, then downed the auburn liquid.

Rae & Finn’s Infinite Playlist - Pt.1

Hey! 

This is the first part of my Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist/MMFD Crossover. I just couldn’t not write this, the film had Rae & Finn written all over it. 

There will be three parts to the story in total. I think.

If you haven’t seen the film go and watch it! It’s awesome with an amazing soundtrack too! 

I hope you enjoy it! 

@mmfdfanfic

Finn was laid on his bed in his room, his mobile above his face while he typed in the number he had memorised months before. He had deleted it 3 weeks previously to try and resist temptation. So far it hadn’t worked. He called her almost daily. He pressed the green button and placed the phone to his ear. It rang several times before the message began. Finn rolled his eyes and sighed as he listened to her voice. It was the voice he had been craving for weeks and these were the only two sentences he had heard come from it. 

"Hey, this is Stacey. Leave a message after the beep." Beeeep. Finn took a deep breath and began speaking.

"Hey Stace. It's Finn. How are you?" He turned to look at the clock on his bedside table. 16:48 flashed back at him. He turned away, back to the ceiling again. “It's about five in the afternoon. You're probably just finishing your lecture. I stayed home today. Took a personal day. I had some creative projects I wanted to finish up before the weekend. Nothing to do with you ... or anything." Finn stood up from the bed and wandered over to the mirror on the wall and picked at one of the edges of the poster next to it. "I'm sorry I missed you. I was hoping to get to speak to you as we haven't talked in a while." He paused and took a deep breath again, now picking at the blu-tak underneath the left bottom corner. "You know, I think the last time we spoke we both said some things neither of us meant. You know, like when you broke up with me ... on my birthday. Also, that mix CD that I sent was the last one." Finn turns towards the laptop on his desk as it spit's out a newly burned disc. "More or less." He turns back to the blu-tak and continues to pick, furrowing his brows at the annoying piece of stickiness. "Anyway, give me a call sometime. I'm great. I hope your great too. Have a great weekend, do something fun. Call me though, when you get the chance. All right. Bye." Finn takes the phone of his ear and presses to hang up. 

"Message has been deleted. To re-record your message, press one."

"Fuck." Finn looks up from his phone to the poster and re-presses the corner down into the blu-tak. He turns away from David Bowie's judging eyes and sit's back on the bed with his head in hands.

-

"Chloe! Open up!" Rae yelled, banging on the door to Chloe’s room. She stood outside in the hall, drumming her fingers on the door, ready to leave for tonight evening of adventure. She had just heard the best news on the radio and needed to plan the night with Chloe ASAP. She had heard the news as she was getting ready and had decided on her favourite Stone Roses tee, her skinny dark jeans and red Dr. Martins. 

Chloe appears behind the wooden door in a little black dress, her hair half straightened. She smiled at Rae and turned back towards her room.

"Hey babes. What's up?" She leaves the door open for Rae to follow in behind her, walks back to the mirror in front of her desk and carries on with her hair. Rae wanders in and notices Stacey is sat on the bed in the corner, trashy magazine in hand. Rae turns to close the door and let's out a small sigh. She was hoping it would be just Chloe here. Stacey looked up at Rae and smirked at the sour face she was sporting. 

"I was just leaving anyway." Stacey threw the magazine down on the bed and stood up pulling her skirt down the two centimetres it would move. "Oh Rae, I was just telling Chlo about Finn. He made me another mix CD. Look at the ridiculous cover art." Her girly laugh made Rae shiver in disgust. She threw the CD in Chloe's bin under the desk and strutted, in a way only Stacey could, towards the door. "Poor guy." She opened the door and slammed it behind her.Chloe's eyes moved from the door to Rae's face as she stared down at the bin with longing and then picked out the CD after a moment.

"What are you doing?"

"He makes the best mixes in the world. Look at this cover art!" Chloe turned and looked at Rae with amusement. Rae stares at the sleeve in awe and opens the case carefully. "Stacey does not know what she gave up." She read the inside and scoffed. "'Road to Closure Volume 12'? Poor bastard."

"You are so in love with this guy. It's ridiculous."

"I've never even met him. I'm just gunna put this on my iPod." Rae throws Chloe a sarcastic smirk, closes the case and places it on the desk while Chloe turns back to the mirror.

"Anyway, what was so urgent you needed to hammer on my door the way you did?" 

Rae plonks onto the bed, excitement shaking through her. "Oh my God Chlo!! Oasis are playing a secret gig in London TONIGHT! So, we are gunna go and find it and watch OASIS!" 

"Awesome. So where are they playing?"

"Chloe! It's a SECRET gig. No one knows yet. There will be clue's and eventually someone will know and we will find out. We will find them, I promise. I heard it on the radio earlier. We can start at the Electric Ballroom and go from there."

"Wicked. I'm up for it. Who are Oasis again?" She turns her head as she asks and Rae has to physically stop herself from rolling her eyes at her. Rae gets her phone out from her pocket and starts playing "Wonderwall". "Oh yeah! I know this one."

"Thought you might." Rae mumbles under her breath as she stops the song and looks at their Twitter feed again. No more news yet. "Right, one condition though." Chloe nods her head at Rae, giving eye contact through the mirror. Rae stares at her, trying to drum in her how important this is. ”Your not allowed to get drunk and leave me alone. Got it?" Chloe smirks at Rae in the mirror.

"Since when have I ever done that?" She smiles at her and Rae raises her eyebrows back. "Okay, I promise." Rae jumps up off the bed and hugs Chloe from behind with a huge smile on her face. 

"Come on then. Hurry up and get ready and we'll head off." Rae sits back on the bed, picks up a magazine and starts to flick through it. Chloe slyly takes another sip of vodka and then carries on with her hair. 

-

Finn is staring at the ceiling, The Queen is Dead playing quietly, for the tenth time today, when Archie and Chop barge into his room, looking expectantly at him. He turns towards them, not even slightly bothered about them seeing him in the three-day-old boxers and t-shirt. "What?"

"Come one, Finny." Archie wines at him. 

"I'm not going." He sits up slightly and stares at them both. 

"What do you mean your not going?"

"I'm taking a mental health day."

"We have a gig, Finn. This is a big night for us."

"This is the first night with our new name." Chop butts in. "We are the Jerk Offs, and I've found us a drummer."

"Who?" Chop pulls out a toy drummer kit from behind his back with a big, toothy smile on his face. Finn sighs and looks between Archie and Chop.

"That's a children's toy. Who's gunna use that?"

"You." They both say at the same time.

Finn gets up from the bed and starts shuffling them towards the open door. "Great. Thank's for coming round guys."

"Finny." Archie stops Finn and looks at him seriously, the smiles from a moment ago gone. "We love you, okay. But you've been depressed for a month and it's not okay. So ..." A smile slowly starts to form at the corner of his mouth again. "We are gunna play this gig and then find you someone better." 

"It's not that easy. You guys don't know what it's like to be straight. It's awful." Finn looks pleading at Archie and Chop as the player clicks from the CD to the radio as it finishes. 

"This is Radio One. We have a surprise announcement now for all Oasis fan's out there. For the first time, since the last time, Oasis is playing a secret gig in Central London TONIGHT! The show is rumored to go on after hours so keep an eye and ear out for signs."

Archie looks back to Finn as the radio presenter carries on talking about Oasis' gig history, with excitement in his eyes. He grabs hold of Finn's shoulders and shakes them. "Oasis Finn! You can say no to Oasis!"

Finn looks into Archie and Chop’s pleading eyes and slowly nods his head. "Fine, all right. I'll go. Just let me have a shower and put some clothes on." They both quickly hug him and run out the open door towards the stairs. "And I'm taking my own car!" Finn shouts behind them. There was no way he was going in their shitty van.

-

Rae and Chloe stroll into the Electric Ballroom in Camden as the lead singer on stage announces that "They are the Jerk Offs!" to a round of small applause and boos. They begin playing as Rae and Chloe wander over to the bar.

"Two snakebites and four shots of sambucca please." Chloe winks at the barman as he walks away and Rae turns to her with anger burning in her eyes. 

"Chlo! You promised you wouldn't get drunk."

"And, I'm not. This is just a few to get me started and then that's it. Anyway the other snakebite is for you. My treat." She smiled sweetly at Rae while Rae rolled her eyes and mumbled a thanks to her. The barman finished their drinks and eyed Chloe while she downed her sambuccas and screamed "wooooooo!" behind Rae. Rae turned back to see Chloe downing the rest of her snakebite and then stumbling towards the loos. Rae took a sip of hers and stayed stood at the bar listening to the racket coming from the stage.

-

Finn, Archie and Chop finished their first song by Chop pulling his shirt off and screaming at the top of his lungs. But the drum machine didn't stop. "Finnnnn, turn the drum off." Archie came running over to Finn as the crowd began to boo and shout abuse at them. 

"I don't know how this works, Arch. There's no off button." Finally Finn and Archie managed to get the machine to shut up while Chop stood behind them downing a pint of water, not taking notice of any of it. 

Quickly, Finn and Archie ran from the stage dragging Chop behind them. They headed towards the bar and ordered three pints to drown their sorrows. 

-

"Rae, you dirty little slut." Chloe whispered in her ear from behind. Rae was staring, head titled to the side, as the three lads ran the off stage towards the bar. She turned towards Chloe with a shocked look on her face.

"What?!"

"You are practically blowing him with your eyes." Chloe giggled at Rae. She took her drink from her and had a quick sip of the pint, then handed it back. "I am not." Rae protested. "And anyway, you cannot 'do' anybody with your eyes, Chlo."

"Well, you can." Chloe shot back. "But whatever. Oh look, he's coming this way." The bassist with dark hair, bushy eyebrows and a check shirt tied around his waist walked between the girls towards the toilets while Rae mumbled apologies at him for being in the way. "Smooth." Chloe quipped and then giggled and the sarcastic look Rae threw her. 

"Whatever Chlo. Your drunk."

"Your drunk." Chloe giggled as she fell into someone behind her.

"Sorry." Rae apologised to the guy behind Chloe, while Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you cut the cord "Mum"? She giggled again and Rae turned back towards the bar to see the cute guy was stood there again. Behind her she could hear Chloe flirting with the guy she had just fallen into and then saw her stumble off into the corner with him. Rae rolled her eyes again and focused back on the bassist as the new band set up.

-

Finn leaned against the bar, pint in hand and eyed up the new guys setting up. They had a drummer. Stupid fucking drum kit. Finn took another sip of his beer as Chop tapped him on the shoulder with a toothy grin plastered on his face. At least he had his shirt back on now. "Hey Finn. Ask this girl what her name is for me?"

Finn looked down at the little woman glaring up at him. She had long ginger hair tied up in bunches with glitter on her cheeks. She had a bright pink top on with the word 'vagitarian' sparkling in glitter in the dull lights. Finn looked at Chop, raised his eyebrows at him and then looked back down at the girl. He huffed a sigh and turned to speak to her. "What's your name?"

"Anything you want it to be." She quipped back with a proud look on her face.

"She's creepy." Finn said to Chop, while the girl looked up at Chop with adoring eyes.

"She's harmless. I’m taking her under my wing."

"And she's gunna help us find Oasis?"

"What's your problem, mate?" Chop looked at Finn with concerned eyes. He was never normally this arsey.

"She's here." Finn took another sip of his drink and faced towards the crowd again. "I told her, not to come to the shows anymore." 

Chop grabbed hold of Finn's arm and shook him until he faced him again. "Don't you even think of going over there, Finny."

"I need to say hi, at least. She came all this way to see me. It would just be rude to ignore her."

"Do not give into temptation. She's not worth it." Finn turned away and looked into the crowd again trying to catch a glimpse of Stacey. 

-

"Rae!"

Rae turned away from the lad at the bar and around to see Stacey. She flicked her blonde hair over her shoulder and smirked at Rae. There was some poor lad trailing behind like a lost puppy. "Alone again? Chloe's found company by the looks of it." She looked over Stacey shoulder to where Chloe was curled around some guy while eating his face. Typical. 

"Hey Stacey. Been looking for you everywhere." She said dryly. Rae turned her head towards the bar again before looking back at Stacey, a decision forming in her mind. "And, I'm not alone. I came here with my someone, actually." 

"Who?" 

"My ... boyfriend." Rae turned and pointed to the guy at the bar she had been staring at since he had come off stage.

"Him?" Stacey asked skeptically.

"Yeah."

"You should be getting back to him then." Stacey replied, amusement evident in her voice.

"Yeah. I'm gunna go see him then." Rae turned away from Stacey and headed towards the bar taking deep breaths as she went. "Shit." She mumbled to herself. "Fuck it." When she reached the bassist, she squeezed herself between him and his friend without looking at either of their faces. She could now feel a few sets of eyes boring into her and when she looked up into his, she saw the only set that weren’t alarmed. They were warm and kind. A deep, dark shade of brown to match his hair that drew her in so much, she couldn’t look away. He had a small, amused smile playing at the corner of his lips. He opened his mouth to speak but Rae interrupted before he could even begin. "I know this is gunna sound weird and I'm a total stranger but will you be my boyfriend for five minutes?" He was still staring, his eyes changing, questions forming behind them. His mouth was slightly agape when she mumbled. "Okay, just be cool. Be cool. Just go with it okay?" She placed her hand on the back of his neck and bought her mouth against his softly. His eyes stayed open with shock for a second but he caved as soon as he felt how soft and warm they felt against his. He closed his eyes and kissed her back, taking her lead and keeping it small and sweet. 

Within seconds they were interrupted by the clicking of heels and a high pitched voice.

"Finn .. Rae, how do guys, like, know each other?" They broke apart as she finished and stared into each others eyes, electricity flitting between them as they took each other in. The shock and awe of what just happened evident on both their faces. In that quick kiss, a connection had been formed and as Rae turned away from Finn towards Stacey’s questioning stare, he couldn’t help but stay completely focused on the extraordinary girl in front of him. Rae’s mind was working overtime to come up with an explanation, hoping the beautiful man, who’s eyes she could still feel boring into her, would go along with whatever she came up with.

"We go to the same ... dentist. Dr. Man .. O'Manowitz." Finn nodded slowly as she spoke, still in awe of what had just happened. Stacey huffed and stormed off towards the exit. As the clicking of her heels started to fade out, Finn came out of his trance and looked longingly after his ex. 

"Hey! Did you get my mixes?" Finn called after her.

"Mixes?" Rae's face went from confusion to recognition. Her eyes opened wide and her mouth hung open. "Wait. Are you Stacey's Finn?"

"She told you about me? How do you know her?"

"Oh, god." Rae turned away from Finn and started back through the crowd towards Chloe.

Rae found her curled up in the same corner with the same guy. "Do you think I'm pretty?" She fluttered her eyes at him while Rae rolled hers. She grabbed Chloe's hand and dragged her to her feet. 

"Oh god, Chlo. We have to leave now. I just snogged Stacey's sloppy seconds." 

"And that's bad why?"

"It's bad because this ..." She pointed down at herself. "Is never gunna compete with perfect little that."

Chloe fell down and started laughing at herself. Rae looked down at her and sighed. The night was over anyway. If it wasn’t ruined by the amazing kiss with the guy still hung up on his ex, it is now as Chloe was pissed as a fart. "Come one, Chlo. Let's get you home. It's only 9 o'clock, jeez." She grabbed Chloe by the arms and put one over her shoulder as she led her towards the exit. 

When they got outside, Rae started off towards the tube station but Chloe fell down again and was then sick all over the pavement next her. "Rae! I don't feel well." She pouted her lips like a child and looked up at the judgmental face Rae was giving her.

"Fuck sake, Chlo. You promised not to drink." She went to pick her up again when Finn came running over, Archie, Chop and the Glitter Girl dawdling along behind. 

"Let me give you a hand."

"Nah, it's fine she's always like this. I'll grab a taxi or something."

"I can give you a lift, if you like. My car's just there." He pointed towards an old yellow Mini parked across the road with a dent in the back. "I can't let you struggle with her on your own." Rae looked between the car and Chloe, staring at the sky, a puddle of her own sick next to her. She couldn't be arsed with messing around with her. She just wanted to see Oasis and this had turned into a nightmare.

"Fine. Thank you." She added kindly. Finn bent over and lifted Chloe up over his shoulder in a fireman's lift and started across the road. Rae followed with his mates just behind her. While Finn was placing Chloe in the back seat she stopped him and grabbed Rae's hand. 

"Are you mad at me?"

"No, Chloe." 

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

The familiar sound of stilettos reached Rae's ears as Stacey began to speak, without acknowledging anyone else. "Hey Finn. Look, I need you."

"What?"

"Can we get a ride?" She pointed to that poor lad still trailing along behind her and gave Finn her most dazzling, manipulative smile.

"We? Is that? You ... and this fellow here?” Finn stuttered.

"Well ..."

"Sorry Stacey, the cars full." Rae butted between them. She moved Finn out the way and pushed Chloe's legs into the back of the car. 

Chloe pointed at Stacey and began mumbling at her. "You didn't say hi to be earlier are you mad at me?"

"I think you should probably take drunkzilla here back to her room now don't you? And I was just talking to Finn actually ..."

"You know what Stacey? There's no room for you. Not tonight." She looked up at Finn. "Come on." 

Finn turned back to Rae, helping Chloe to put her seat belt on. "That's cool. It's a small car anyway." Stacey stormed off down the road, her heels clicking behind her. 

Finn opened the drivers side and sat in fiddling around with the ignition, muttering obscenities, while Rae stood against the back door where Chloe was now passed out. Archie, Chop and Glitter Girl were sat on the bonnet talking quietly between themselves.

"I told you they look cute together." Archie whispered.

"Okay, here’s the plan. I'm gunna go give Finny a pep talk. Arch, you clean up the girl." Chop whispered to them both. Jumping off the bonnet and walking round to the drivers side next to Finn. "Having some trouble? Stalled again?"

"Hey Chopper."

"Lady friend." Rae looked taken aback but nodded. Chop pointed towards the van in front of Finn's Mini, where Archie was just climbing in the side. "Archie could use your assistance in the van, if you please." She stood up and wandered towards the big brown van, hesitantly. 

"In the van?" She questioned.

"Yes. That large vehicle right there. Thank you." Finn didn't even look up just carried on muttering. Rae walked over to the side of the van where the sliding door was open. She peered her head in and Archie beckoned her in. She closed the door behind her as he threw a bra at her. 

"Try this." He mumbled, going through a large black bag of clothes.

"What?"

"Let's just say we're not the biggest fans of his ex. And we have decided your to be his salvation. Besides, we saw you two making out, and we think you're the one. We just gotta get you out of that sports bra." He nodded towards her chest and carried on rummaging through the bag. Rae had her mouth open in a small gape.

"This isn't a sports bra."

"Come on. Were all ladies here." Archie replied with a small smirk. Rae looked down at her boobs, hidden and squished, underneath the The Stone Roses top she had on and tugging at the corners lifted it above her head.

-

"Are you seriously talking about Stacey right now?" Chop sat in the passenger seat staring with shock at the side of Finn's face while he continued to mumble and chew the corner of his thumb. 

"I think I might be able to get some answers out of this girl."

"Seriously Finn, do not talk to this girl about Stacey. I mean it." Chop pitied Finn. He didn't understand how he could be so hung up on a girl who was such a bitch to him. He needed this. A good night with a great girl. “Look, we'll take the drunk mess home, you and Rae go find the gig, text us when you do and we'll meet you there. What could possibly go wrong?"

Finn looked up at Chop, who had a beaming smile on his face. He nudged his shoulder and Finn reluctantly nodded. “Okay."

-

"Oh, it's much better than the uni-boob." Archie winked at Rae and she grinned back, while jiggling her boobs into the slightly too-small bra. She had to admit though, her boobs did look much perkier. She looked away from her chest to Archie as the smile fell off her face and a look of reluctance replaced it.

"This isn't gunna work, Arch. He's hung up on Stacey." Rae sighed. She looked down at her hands, fiddling with the hem of her tee. 

Archie put his hand under her chin and made her look into his eyes. Rae also needed a pep talk it seemed. "You look gorgeous.” He emphasised the last word with a glowing smile. “And let me tell you something: Finn is definitely worth the under-wire. He just needs a little push that's all." He kept smiled at her but could see her brain working to find another excuse. They were perfect for each other how could she not see that?

"Shit. Look, I gotta get Chlo hom-"

"We'll do it." Rae looked at Archie like he was mad, raising her eyebrows with an amused grin on her face. "We. Will. Do. It. Go find Oasis. Go."

-

Rae jumped out of the van to find Finn trying to pry the door open to get Chloe out. She had locked herself in the car and was now fast asleep against the window, dribble forming at the side of her mouth, threatening to spill down her chin. Rae wandered over and bent down at the window. "Hey Chlo.” She murmured. “Just like we practiced remember. You just need to push it up a little ..."

"Shhhh." She closed her mouth, her finger on her lips as her eyes fluttered open and then closed again. “You just need to be quiet.”

"Chloe."

"Raeeee. Please don't be mad at me." Chloe wined. Her eyes fluttered open to stare at Rae looking down at her through the window. She sat up a little and started to push the inside lock. A small crowd was forming, laughing at the drunk mess and the girl who was trying to reason with her. 

"I'm not mad, okay. Just like we practiced. Up a little more. Yeah!" The door catch opened and Finn wrenched the door open before she had a chance to lock it again. "Everyone, move along. Nothing to see here." Rae called out towards the gathered people and they began to disperse. Chop bent down to hoist Chloe over his shoulder.

"Come on. There we go." Chop had Chloe over his shoulder and he stood and wondered towards the van. Archie was there with the door wide open ready for them, the Glitter Girl jumping off the bonnet and climbing in the side. "I got her."

"If you touch one hair on her head, I will kill all of you!" Rae called after them.

"Rae! I'm being carried! You look so-" Chop turned as she said it and banged Chloe's head against the side of the van. He looked over at Rae with an apologetic look on his face as he laid her down on the shrug carpet in the back of the van carefully. 

"She'll be okay. She'll be fine." Finn murmured next to Rae as he lightly patted her arm. She turned to Finn as he finished speaking and he immediately stared down at her chest. Compared to earlier they were practically poking him in the eye.

Rae noticed and smirked. She tapped him on the arm. "Eye's up here, you." She turned towards the little yellow Mini and climbed in the passenger seat, waiting for Finn to get in next to her. The van had already taken off in the direction of Rae and Chloe's halls. Finn sat down in the drivers seat, flashed a smile at Rae and fiddled with the Mini again until the engine turned over. They looked at each other, eyes alight for the night ahead. 

"So, where to now?"

Spiderwebs and Ghostbusters

Hiya Everyone!  Sorry, this is a bit of a trick and a treat.  Trick because I asked what everyone would want and well, everyone said Runaways but I wanted to post this before Halloween was over.  Also it’s a treat because it’s just fluff. Tags at the end.

End of September

Finn was walking out of his flat as he heard the building manager walking up giving an explanation of some of the rules the tenants need to abide by.  He knew the flat that was right across his had been available for quite some time.  But, he was on the last floor of the building, 6 flights up, the building had no lift and it was as hot as hell in the summer season.  He was the only one willing enough to live like that, or so he thought.

 He basically had figured he had the floor to himself and he liked it that way.  He was able to play his tunes just that much louder, well except for when Mr. Chen from the flat below him would bang on the floor as a warning for him to turn it down.  

 Finn had turned his back to lock his door when he heard the manager, “This would be your flat.  First and last months plus move in costs are all included at the price we discussed.”  

 Finn turned around to see the manager opening the door with a decent looking young girl behind him. She was pretty, but obviously so, one of those “girl next door” looks going for her.

 “It would be me and my best mate Ray, moving in.”  Finn heard her say as he nodded to the two of them and made to descend on the stairs.

 Finn made it to the bottom floor looking outside; the autumn colors have definitely come and changed the colors of the leaves on the tree outside his building.  Change was definitely coming.

  ++++++++

October 29th

 It’s been a month since the two people had moved in across from Finn.  He’s never seen that guy Ray, but he has seen the other girl in passing, she’s introduced herself, as Chloe and she seemed nice enough.  When he is going out, she is coming in, with different men all the time.  He doesn’t pass any judgment.  It wasn’t long ago when he wasn’t guilty himself of bringing nameless girls back to his. He’s moved on from that now, surprisingly.  No one has caught his attention in some time.  Sure sex was always good, sometimes great but the last few times it was if something was missing, a spark.  He had boiled it down to stress.

 He was making his way home, far earlier then usual.  They had moved him from the late night slot to the morning at the station.  He knew this was more exposure but it caused some severe lack of sleep, since his body had regulated itself to not tire until early morning hours and wake in the late afternoon.

 As he made his way up the familiar stairs, he heard the Dire Straits being blasted.  He started to panic, had he left his stereo on?  Great, he was definitely going to hear it from Mr. Chen now.  But he was sure he shut it off and he was almost positive he had been listening to Bowie before he left.

 As he came up to his level head down, he walked into a fake spider web that had been hanging.  Finn grunted in frustration as he brushed it off turned around and started to rip it down.

 “Oh my god, I am so sorry.” Finn heard from behind him.  “Oh no, they came down.”  Finn turned back to the flats to the voice.

 He stood still; the woman in front of him was utterly stunning.  

 “Hey, did you tear them down?”  She asked as her eyes were glued to his hand full of the fake webbing.  She stared at him waiting for an answer but his eyes were too busy taking her in.  She was down right beautiful, long legs, amazing curves, a chest only others can dream of, pouty lips and big expressive eyes.  “Seriously, are you deaf? Or are you too busy staring at my chest?”

 Finn snapped his eyes back to hers quickly.  “Sorry, just, wasn’t expectin’ webs on the stairway.”  Finn reached out his hand to give her back the web.

 “Are you? You’re the one who lives across from me and Chloe?”  She threw her thumb behind her towards his door.

 “So, you’re my other new neighbor?”  He returned her question with another.  She squinted her eyes in a playful way.

 “Look, I am sorry about the web but Chlo had mentioned that you’re rarely home and we’re having a bit of a Halloween soiree so she asked me to decorate.”  She shrugged.  

 “It’s alright Rae.” She pulled her head back a bit.

 “How do you know my name?” She asked nervously.

 “Oh, um, the landlord.” He lied and didn’t want to admit he was eaves dropping on Chloe when they had first moved in.

 “Right.” She laughed awkwardly.  “So, you’re?”

 “Finn, nice to meet you.” Finn outstretched his hand and she shook it shyly.

 “So a party? That’s a first here.”  Finn laughed.

 “Is it?  Really?  You’ve never?”  

“Parties? Nah, don’t want the mess plus, normally I work Halloween night.  Don’t even know what to do with myself this year, my best mate moved a bits away, probably just a boring night in.”  

 “Well, tell you what, if you don’t mind a bit more decorations and promise not to tear them down, you’re more then welcome to you know, pop in or something.  I mean, it’s just going to be a few mates but it should be fun.”  Rae offered with a bit of a smile.

 “Yeah, alright.”  Finn jumped on the chance.  Obviously he wants to spend a bit more time with this beauty, secondly, he’s been itching for some real interaction that didn’t involve anyone from work.

 “So, Saturday, it supposedly starts at 8 but Chloe’s not expecting anyone until 9.”  

 “Yeah, definitely see you then, Rae.” He emphasized her name with a wide toothy smile as he walked towards his flat.  He had unlocked the door and was about to walk in when he heard his name.

 “Finn?”  She turned towards him.  He turned around and looked at her.

 “It’s strictly costume, no costume, no entry.”  She folded her arms across her chest.  

 He smiled and nodded. “There’s always a catch ain’t there?”

 She laughed heartedly. “See you Saturday Finn.  Goodnight.”

  “Night.”  He winked at her and closed the door.

 ++++++

Halloween Night

 He wouldn’t be lying if he had put off on the costume ideas. It was nearing 6 in the evening by the time he had gotten off of work.  He at first was thinking of not going but he had purposely left his door open yesterday hoping he’d get a glimpse of Rae to have another chat so he knew subconsciously he would go no matter what just to have some more small banter with her.

 So, he found himself in the local shop, looking over the minimal Halloween costume items they had left. He grabbed what he could and knew it was going to be extremely scarce but what he got would work and make a decent enough costume.  

 After going back to his and not so subtly seeing if Rae was around but no luck.  He was sure however that she was inside because he heard Shed Seven being blared from her flat.  Once he was inside he realized how exhausted he was and took a bit of a nap and woke up to shower and get ready.  By the time he had finished it was half past 9.

 He made his way over to Rae and Chloe’s flat, hesitant to knock at first but took a deep breath and knocked.

 Chloe had opened the door; she was dressed as a risqué devil.  “Finn! You made it.”  She smiled at him.

 Finn nodded, “Hi.”

 “Come in!  Rae told me she invited you.”  Chloe pulled on his arm.  She looked him up and down pursing her lips together.  “Right, well, nice costume?”

 Finn looked down and shrugged, “It’s last minute and I know it looks like bollocks.”  Finn tugged on his sleeve bringing it down.

 “Well, it’s, something. Anyway, Rae should be back out here in a bit so make your self-comfortable.  Drinks and food is over there, help yourself.”  With that she drunkenly stumbled her way to a group of people sitting on the settee.  

 Finn walked over and grabbed himself a beer, opening it and took a swig.   He looked around and saw their flat was almost as identical to his but way more feminine.  When he looked over to the hallway, he saw a shorter man being followed by Rae.  

 Rae stopped the man before he made it back to the room and helped him fix his tie.  He was obviously dressed like Mr. Bean.

 “Thanks Rae.”  He heard him say and they shared a hug.

 “No problem Danny.” Rae was talking to him for a bit. Of course she wasn’t single,  Fin thought, someone as beautiful as her was bound to be in a relationship.  If Finn walked out now maybe he would save himself a bit of humiliation.

  He saw Rae turn towards him seeing Finn staring at her.  

 She smiled brightly at him, saw her excuse herself and made her way over to him.  She looked amazing; she was dressed in khaki shorts, a khaki button up adorned with black boots and the well-known logo with the ghost crossed out on her sleeve.

 “A Ghostbuster eh?” Finn teased as he took another drink.

 “Yeah, looks like we might be matching, are you supposed to be a?” Rae looked him up and down, he had a white button up on with black paints and he had obviously painted his face just a tint of white with black circles around his eyes.  

 “A ghost.”  He shuffled on his feet.

 He heard Rae giggle, “Well look at that.”

 “People will think you and I are the couple and not you and,” Finn motioned towards Danny who was now talking to the people on the settee along with Chloe.

 “Danny?  We’re not together, he’s just my mate.”  Rae laughed as she brushed past Finn to get a beer. Finn perked up a bit, glad he hadn’t made a quick evacuation.  

 “Nice.”  Finn stated.

 “Me being single is, nice?” Rae asked.

 “So why a Ghostbuster?” Finn made to change the subject quickly.

 “Are you serious? It’s just a solid film with a great story and even better comedy, plus Bill Murray.  How can you not like it?”  

 “True that.  We’ve got quite a bit in common, don’t we?”  Finn leaned onto the counter.

 Rae joining him, “How would you know?  Are you stalking me?”  

 “No no, just observant. Murray, movies, costumes, music.” Finn rattled off.

 “How do you know our music is so similar?”  

 “Well I’m assuming you are the one blasting the Happy Monday’s as I made it to work today.”  He shrugged.

 “It could have been Chloe.” As she said that they both looked over and saw Chloe standing up with another girl stumbling a bit singing a pop song.  “Or not.” Rae laughed.

 Finn smiled biting his lip.

 “So we do have a bit in common but I am sure my music knowledge is far more superior then yours.” She teased.

 “That, I doubt.”  Finn nudged her.

 “Tell you what, seeing as majority of these people are Chloe’s mates, why don’t we grab a few beers and I can show you just how extensive my knowledge is.”  Rae pushed off the counter and grabbed a few beers then made it down the hall  she had just come from.  Finn followed suit.

 Finn followed Rae into her room where he saw the standard bed, dresser and desk.  But adorning one wall were crates stacked up on each other full of vinyls.

 “Wow.”  Finn put the beers he carried down on the desk and made his way over to the selection.

 “Impressive, eh?”

 Finn nodded then shrugged trying to hide his reaction, “A bit.”

 “Oh right.”  Rae mocked.

 Finn and Rae spent several hours in her room listening and talking getting to know each other.  They found out they really had a lot in common, much to Finn’s delight.  They had talked extensively about music, movies, their upbringings, both finding out they came from Stamford, and how they ended up in the bigger city of London.

 Rae looked over at the time, “Fuck, it’s 4 in the morning!” She said as she got up from the floor where her and Finn had surrounded them with records.

 “Shit, that happened fast.” Finn got up, helping Rae clean up all the records.  

 When they walked out they saw a few of the people who were at the party passed out on the floor, chairs and settee.

 Finn whispered, “Must have been a hell of a night.”  Rae looked around and laughed but put her finger to her lips to silence both her and Finn.  She nodded and pointed towards the door.

 They walked out into the hallway between the two flats.

 “Tonight was by far one of the best nights I’ve had thus far since moving here.”  Rae admitted.

 Finn smiled, “Me too and I’ve lived here a lot longer.”  They looked at each other and laughed.

 “So?”

 “So.”

 “Goodnight?”  Rae squished her face.

 “Goodnight.”  Finn outstretched his arms for a hug and Rae went into them happily.  Rae let go and went to go back in her flat.

 “Hey Rae.”  She turned around.

 “Would you like to maybe go out sometime?”  Finn rubbed the back of his neck as he bit his lip and looked down.

 “Trick or treat?”  Rae asked.

 “What?”

 “Trick.  Or.  Treat?” She repeated annunciating every word.

 “Treat?”  He said unsure.

 He saw Rae take a few steps towards him as he looked up.  Rae smiled at him widely and grabbed his face softly with her hands, connecting their lips in a sweet, light but lingering kiss.

 “Ok.”  She whispered as her lips rubbed his as she talked.

 “Finn?”  

 “Yeah?”

 “Happy Halloween.” Rae let go of his face and walked back to her and Chloe’s flat.  She had her bottom lip between her teeth as she closed the door slowly as Finn watched in amazement.

  The End.

i-dream-of-emus asked me to do this one so I obliged! Sorry for the layout of this - on my iPhone! Remember, if you want to prompt me something just send it to my inbox. - "Women" "Oh," came a deep foreign accent down the hallway. Finn sat gingerly at the edge of the couch, waiting for Rae to come down from her bedroom. Karim appeared round the corner into the living room and the pair stared at each other awkwardly for a moment. "Women," Karim finally broke the silence and Finn let an amused smile onto his lips. "What is it they say?" Finn pondered. "You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em." Karim looked at Finn perplexed, cocked eyebrow and wrinkled forehead. "You English have funny sayings." He muttered before heading into the kitchen. Finn's eyebrows furrowed together. He'd spent so long trying to impress Karim and the one time he managed to get onto a conversation he ACTUALLY knew something about, he blew it. Karim came back into the living room, two beers in his right hand, passing one to Finn he pressed a finger against his lips. "Ssh, I did not give you beer." He mumbled to Finn. "I am over eighteen y'know." Finn replied in an equally hushed voice. "Yes I know, but Linda... She think drinking is bad for Rae and we must be what do you call... Good troll models?" Finn tried not to let the smirk appear on his face, Rae had been incredibly proud of her step-father's determination to learn better English and had scolded her friends several times whenever they had laughed about something that had come out of Karim's mouth wrong. "Yeah something like that." Finn drank quickly in an attempt to hide his grin. The two succumbed into silence again, something was clearly troubling Karim but Finn didn't know how to talk to him about it. "Women," Karim said again after another few moments in silence. This time, Finn was prepared. "Everything alright?" "It's Linda," Karim said with a wave of his hand towards the bedroom above them, "She think she fat. But I think she beautiful, so I tell her that she beautiful but then she tells me I do not know what I am talking about. How do I not know what I am talking about? She is mother of my two children. She make me laugh all time. She good in bed..." His voice trailed off and a blush rose in his cheeks. Finn gritted his teeth having heard more than he bargained for about his girlfriend's mother. "Erm, I-," Finn cleared his throat quickly before speaking out again, "- I think I know what yer talkin' about mate. Rae is the same really about herself. She got it into her head that she don't deserve me but actually - it's me that don't deserve her. She's funny, strong, independent, beautiful, clever..." His voice trailed off, avoiding the use of 'fuckin' amazing in bed' in the presence of her overprotective step-father. "Yes!" Karim shrieked with glee, "they are beautiful women and I wish that they could see themselves with our eyes." "I'll cheers to that!" Finn replied, leaning forward with his beer to clink it with Karim's. Karim raised an eyebrow again, looking perplexed and Finn's bottle raised mid-air. Slowly, Finn retracted his bottle and went back to drinking it. "You English do strange things sometimes." Karim said before the two succumbed back into silence.
