“Hey, if we don’t find someone by midnight…you and me…maybe?” - “Ask me properly and I might consider it.” for Writer's Choice!

Luke was having a hard time wrapping his head around it. It was odd enough that they’d all received invites to Carrie Wilson’s New Year’s eve party. The fact that they were actually attending said party was plain bizarre.

“Should we even be here?” Reggie asked from behind him as they navigated through the throng of teenagers. 

Luke whirled around to better face the dark haired boy, “this was your idea.”

“Yeah,” Reggie admitted as his pale eyes darted around the Wilson’s house. “But that was when I thought Julie and Flynn, and anyone else was going to show up too.”

Luke scowled, as Reggie bit at his lower lip eyes still scanning the room. He’d been hanging out with both girls more and more over the past few months. Luke’s scowl melted into a smirk as he elbowed Reggie’s ribs, “hoping to kiss someone special tonight?”

“No,” Reggie squeaked, with the lighting it was hard to tell for sure but Luke was willing to bet good money Reggie’s face was close to matching his flannel in color. HIs face scrunched up as he scratched the back of his head, “I don’t know, maybe.”

“That’s awesome man.” Luke's smile grew as he wrapped an arm around Reggie’s shoulder’s. “Who were you thinking of asking?”

Reggie hesitated, fingers fiddling with each other and his rings as he shrugged, “Don’t know, not like it’ll matter if they don’t show up.”

Something under Luke’s sternum twisted uncomfortably seeing Reggie downhearted like that. Things were always better when his friends were happy, “Hey, if you’re dead set on kissing someone, and if we don’t find someone by midnight…you and me…maybe?”

Luke trailed off, uncertain even where he was trying to go with his sentence. It had started off reassurance, maybe a teasing joke. Except the longer he took to ask, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized, he hoped Reggie would say yes and kiss him. 

He swallowed hard around the desert that had formed in the back of his throat. Reggie blinked at him owlishly, tilting his head as if thinking something through. This was worse than when he looked sad. 

Just as Luke was about to hurriedly throw out he was joking, Reggie smirked and clapped a hand to Luke’s shoulder, “ask me properly and I might consider it.” 

With a wink, Reggie disappeared into the crowd again, leaving behind a gobsmacked Luke. Luke’s entire world had just been violently flipped on its head. 

Reggie just said he might kiss him. But a minute ago he was definitely talking about kissing someone else, right? Right?

Luke quickly gathered himself and his thoughts to try and find Reggie again. It didn’t take long, and evidently while Luke had been frozen Reggie had found Julie and Flynn. The three of them wrapped up in a tight hug. 

Or rather Reggie had Flynn and Julie wrapped in a tight hug as they all giggled excitedly, and now Luke was even more confused. 

The question plagued him all night. Through all the dancing, talking, and joking he found himself analyzing every interaction. But there didn’t seem to be any one person who Reggie seemed to prefer or act flirtier with, or more flustered around. 

It was after they briefly ran into and caught up with Willie and Alex that Luke’s brain apparently had enough. Before he even realized what was happening he was blurting out, “Reggie, who do you want to kiss?”

The four of them froze, he hadn’t meant to say it out loud, and he didn’t blame Julie and Flynn for glaring at him the way they were. 

“Honestly,” Reggie’s voice brought all of their focus back to him. While he fiddled with his fingers like he was nervous, he slowly, purposefully met each of their gazes in turn. “If you were ok with it I’d really like to kiss all of you?”

“Oh.” Julie and Flynn both said, which was honestly more than Luke could figure out to say. Even the melodies inside his head all paused. 

“Is that weird?” Reggie asked, as he began to shrink into himself.

“No.” Luke, Julie and Flynn all rushed to say at the same time. Julie was the quickest when it came to wrapping the boy up in another hug. Then Luke’s mind was rendered silent once again as she spoke, “sometimes I think I’d like to kiss all of you, too.”

Luke had thought about kissing Julie plenty of times before, he just thought she was more interested in Flynn or Reggie. And while it was newer he for sure wanted to kiss Reggie too. He bounced on his toes, a new smile splitting his face as he watched the two of them hug and smile at each other. 

“I’d rather not kiss Patterson, if that’s all right.” Flynn snarked out of nowhere, and Luke was torn between feeling offended at her tone and relieved by her words. Flynn was great and he did care about her, but it was clear what he felt was purely platonic. 

“So,” Reggie said, smiling over the top of Julie’s head, “do we have to wait for midnight, or can I kiss you now?”

There was some laughing as Julie popped on her toes to exchange a kiss with Reggie. It was one of the prettier sights Luke had ever seen, and he could hardly wait when he’d be able to kiss either of them.

Warm and Hazy Dreams

Alright guys, I’m feeling, how shall I put this, normal. That’s not a good thing for me tbh. To me, normal is just, not a good state to be in. So, to take my mind off this, I’ve FINALLY written the poly-ship fluff I said I’d write earlier. I was gonna write some really angsty stuff, but I figured that’d make me spiral even more, and it’s not worth it, no matter how good the fic would’ve been. I don’t want tonight to be one of those nights where I don’t even cry myself to sleep because there’s no sleep involved and all I do is cry. Also the most voted ship is Julie/Luke/Reggie so her ya go!!! Thx to all those who voted, I tagged y’all. This fic was actually inspired by a dream I had a few weeks ago, but with character changes, and portrayed to show it as romantic affection instead of platonic. Yall, i literally have a whole ass story in my head to explain the ACTUAL dream so if you want that just let me know. Anyways, here ya go!!!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Julie didn’t know where she was. She didn’t remember much about anything either. But, she knew she felt sleepy. Was someone talking? Was that, laughter?

It didn’t matter, all she wanted to do was close her eyes, and snuggle closer to this warmth. What was so warm? Whatever it was, it was comforting. It felt familiar. It felt safe.

She heard someone say her name, and she opened her eyes a crack. It was so hazy. She couldn’t make anything out. There was this light, as if it were early morning. It cast everything in a gray luminance.

Julie closed her eyes again. And she burrowed deeper into whatever was blanketing her in this feeling of safety. She felt so protected, and surrounded by love. 

She could comprehend the feeling of an arm wrapping around her. She could recognize that her head was laying on someone’s shoulder, and it was burried in the crook of their neck.

It all felt so relaxing. She was calm. Her breath’s were even, and she felt more carefree than she’s felt in a long time. She was just aware enough to catch the soft and quiet laughter of those around her.

“She sure is tired today, huh?”

Julie wasn’t sure who said it, but she knew they were talking about her. And in all honesty? She couldn’t care less. She was too engrossed in the warmth eminetting from the things next to her.

And she stayed like that, she wasn’t sure for how long. But eventually, she woke up enough to realize she was leaning on Luke’s shoulder, and that Reggie’s arm was wrapped around her.

Suddenly, reality seemed to shift, and she found herself laying down instead of sitting up.

But the warmth was still the same. It was safe and protecting and comforting and filled with love. Julie layed there for another moment, soaking it all in. The feeling of being wrapped in this absolutely blissful warmth.

Finally, she slowly opened her eyes. Everything was still blury, but she could make out the rays of early morning sunlight pouring out the window. And she could feel the two still asleep boys peacfully snoring on either side of her.

‘Luke and Reggie’ she thought. She shifted ever so slightly, but before she could move further, Reggie cuddled closer to her, pulling her into an even tighter embrace.

Luke’s brows furrowed, and he gently tugged Julie closer to him. This elicited a tug of war between to two sleeping boys. Julie could hardly contain her giggles.

Eventually, the three settled into a position where julie was tightly sandwitched between the two boys, with absolutely no hope of escape. Not that she would ever want to leave the little bubble of warmth the three seemed to have created.

‘How weird, I didn’t know you could fall asleep in a dream. But then again, it’s hard not to relax when I’m with these two’

And with that final thought, Julie was lulled back into a peaceful sleep, her breath even with Reggie’s heartbeat, her head burried in Luke’s chest.

If she seemed to have a bounce in her step that day, no one questioned it. No one seemed to mind that she kept spacing out, where her face breaking into a wide grin.

And Julie herself didn’t regret a thing. She felt a surge of joy whenever she thought about her dream. It emerged in her heart and bloomed until it reached every single part of her, from the top of her head to the tips of her fingers and toes.

Oh how thankful she was for warm and hazy dreams.
