#I'm not gonna tag this with cheerscoops since there's no actual cheerscoops in this bit even if that ship is a big part of the story

Feels Like This was the other was one of the two fics that tied for first in this tag game poll I recently did. It starts out as hellcheer and is going to end up being cheerscoops with the potential of eventually being hellcheerscoops if I can make it work. Here's the 23 sentence snippet I needed to write plus a couple extra sentences so I could finish the thought again lol. Enjoy!

Eddie lit the cigarette that was perched between his lips and tossed his lighter onto the nightstand before leaning back against the plush silk of his pillows. As he took a long drag, Chrissy curled up against him, the blankets slung low across their hips. He offered the cigarette to her, but she shook her head in response. Instead, she started tracing patterns into his skin with the hand that had been splayed against his bare chest.

“What’s on your mind?” he asked her. “You’re usually never this quiet after.”

“I had a meeting with the label earlier,” she told him. “Right before you texted me. I think they’re finally going to send me on tour.”

Eddie set his cigarette in the ashtray on his nightstand and rolled over to pin Chrissy to the mattress. “That’s amazing! Why didn’t you lead with that? Then it could have been celebratory sex instead of a booty call!”

“Don’t call it a booty call,” Chrissy said through her laughter. “I think whatever this is is a little more than that. Anyway, I didn’t say anything about it because I don’t know if I’m actually going to do it or not.”

“But you’ve been talking about this for as long as I’ve known you. That’s the dream. Your very own tour with your name up in lights. Why wouldn’t you do it?”

“Because it’s not my very own tour. I’d only be the opening act, and the offer comes with a catch.”

She pushed Eddie to roll off of her and sighed as she stared up at the ceiling.

“They want me to help write The Babysitters’ next album. You know how protective I am over my words. I broke up with Jason because he couldn’t stand that I was keeping my songs to myself instead of using them to further his career. I don’t know if I can physically force myself into a situation like that again.”
