when in rome - college gf! + frat!rafe - p1/4

plot: Rose has convinced Ward to force Rafe to go back to college. canon divergent from early sesaon 2. The Camerons are still in Outer Banks. Rafe has killed Peterkin but Ward hasn't faked his death. Rafe and Nat (his frat "brother" 's ex) have become friends. Their friendship hits a rough patch right when they're both about to go on a group vacation all together.

A/N: i've written these SMAUs a little out of order up until now sorry for that. This series of flashbacks will set out how they got together. i'll then post a chronological masterlist and maybe fill in the blanks. CW: oral (male r. ) menitoned. only text conversations.

There’s a pack of feral children that roam the complex I live in. It’s genuinely fucking annoying, they stand unmoving in the face of cars, harass my cats in the sliding glass door, get into our patio bins, and wreak general havoc. Also snoop on my betrothed and I making out, over which I’m the saltiest.

But one aspect of summertime is all the little chalk drawings they leave everywhere. As this is not any of the aforementioned acts of mischief I thoroughly approve of chalk time.

Each day my betrothed and I would sally forth on what they called, “our government mandated walk” and stroll through a gallery of chalk creations.

I think we noticed about the same time as we walked through the complex to the road that amidst the rainbows and nuclear families there was a disturbing repeated phrase.

“Not a lie.”

Over and over, not a lie, not a lie; in various colors and sizes, the same phrase. It looked like a pastel cult. Or like someone trying to escape Aperture Science.

All summer the rains would wash the concrete clean and each new wave of chalk would be accompanied by a new peal of “not a lie”s. We speculated wildly for months over the “not a lie” phrase. What wasn’t a lie? Why weren’t parents concerned about this bizarre obsessive repetition?

Then one day, coming home from our walk, we heard a parent call, “Natalie!”

Simultaneously our eyes widened and we whipped our heads toward each other to say in rapt tones, “Not a lie!”

We still like to creepily whisper “not a lie” in discordant tones like cult followers, but it’s funny knowing it’s just a kids name.

Fine then, we'll create our own "saving the sweethearts" scenarios if the games won't let us do it!

Nattie (Natalie) belongs to @stankychee~ Peter belongs to me.
