Rivalries Don’t Make Friends

AJ x MC

@perfectlysunny02 i finally did it.

(Before anyone says it- I know AJ plays field hockey. My bestie verified it for me- but I wanted to expand the available choices so she plays ice hockey here.)

AJ knew the trouble of falling for a member of the rival team.

It was not something you should do, a betrayal against the loyalty of your own team if the rivalry between the teams was strong enough.

But there’s a flaw in the design of things like rivalries.

They only work when you can see the other person’s face.

The team had convinced her to go out after a match, just a simple night at the pub after a match as they tossed back a few pints. AJ wasn’t a heavyweight when it came to drinking, but she knew her limits and danced right along them, even as she actually danced along the floor with her teammates. Tai had just finished spinning under his arm when she collided with another body clustered with friends, “Whoa- I’m so sorry!” AJ giggled sheepishly, Tai falling back with the team to watch the scene unfold, “I should know better than to get on the dance floor after a few pints. My feet never cooperate.”

The absolutely gorgeous babe in front her smirked, hands holding AJ’s arms from catching her in the stumble, “Didn’t think anything could knock away your stability- not with the way you move on the ice.”

AJ blinked, surprised even as more giggles escaped, “Are you a Manchester Thunder fan?” Something about the woman’s face was tickling a memory in her hazy mind, like she was familiar.

“You could say I’m more of a Liverpool Blaze fan, myself.”

AJ gasped, “Rooting for the enemy??”

The girl chuckled, shaking her head, “But I am a fan of yours, Jones.”

AJ felt her cheeks flush. Sure, she knew she had fans, but most were men who just liked the sport or the type of women you’d see body checking a stranger over some petty argument. She had never met a fan so… effervescent. So beautiful. “You seem to have me at a disadvantage.” AJ offered instead, watching as amusement danced in her gaze.

“Sunna.” The girl grinned, “My name is Sunna. How bout you let take you for a dance to make up for running into me?” Sunna winked, “I doubt the big man is your boyfriend, I’ve heard it’s bad luck to date within your team.” Hearing a snort, AJ could see one of the women from her group just behind her nudging the couple next to her. Ordinarily she’d wonder what that meant, why she nudged them when she mentioned dating teammates- but AJ was distracted. Sunna’s hands were warm on hers, and the shimmering colors in her hazel eyes had AJ’s tipsy mind locked in a trance. So she let herself be led into a dance, “Yeah, there’s a couple on my team that actually split, but Levi and Lucy are too competitive to let it stop them,” she offered offhandedly, spinning and twirling and holding Sunna as the hours creeped on, before suddenly Tai was making his way over.

“AJ, we’re glad you’re having a good time and all, but Gary is itching to get home before he hurls up his pints and we got practice tomorrow.”

The blonde felt a wave of disappointment, but Sunna gave her a smile, “I hope you’ll let me get your number first. I go back without it, Angie and Miles will never stop prattling on about it.”

So that night, AJ left with her number, and a date on the books. Levi and Lucy wouldn’t stop teasing her about it, jokingly poking fun at how much she would blush any time a text came in. And their teasing got worse as the days went on and more dates were ticked off. A drink, a dinner, a movie, eventually they scheduled for date number five after AJ’s next game. She couldn’t wait, no relationship had ever felt so right. Sunna understood her passion, mirrored her energy- she didn’t believe in soulmates, but if they existed then Sunna was hers.

Sunna had never cared for rivalries, none of her teammates did. Sure, they played their hardest in every game because they could get competitive, but the idea of one specific team being their target to beat in a season never made sense. She had a regularly ongoing competition with Oliver and Talia at practice, they took shots at her goal and she had to block. If they made the shot more times than she saved the block then she had to buy them a pint, and if she blocked more than they made they had to buy one for her. Angie and Jake would laugh at them as they practiced themselves. The other players would often complain to Tom, but even as the owner of the team he let them do as they pleased no matter how much it agitated their coach, Graham didn’t appreciate it but he could admit they were efficient when the time came. But Liverpool Blaze wasn’t known for being just efficient. They were ruthless on the ice. During games it was like they were different people. On the ice none of them batted an eye at bloodshed, their enforcers were brutal and their defense was impossible to get passed. Off the ice Jake was sweet and off writing bad poetry or making sure the team ate well, Oliver could often be found playing with his cat or looking at books from his grandmother in Malaysian culture. Talia was pulling pranks that no one could avoid being the target of, Angie would be making snarky comments and helping Talia. Sunna was never what someone expected when her uniform came off- gone was the laser focus that never let anything stray by her, no grace as she moved. Her teammates called her a bubbly fountain of terrible humor, much like her brother Bruno.

But as much as they gave their all, rivalries weren’t an interest. They played because they loved the sport, winning was a bonus. Every member of the team and staff knew that-

Which is why Tom looking as anxious as he did at the locker room as they dressed was out of the ordinary.

Sunna nodded her head to him, dropping the braid she’d been securing and raising an eyebrow as her teammates all watched curiously, “What’s going on, Tommy boy?”

“Nothing.” He said quickly, far too quickly for it to be the truth.

Sunna scoffed a laugh, crossing her arms as she eyed him critically, “You look like you did that time you strapped on skates and Jakey checked you into the glass.”

Tom’s already pale face lost even more color at the mention, hand instinctively shooting up to rub at the shoulder that had taken the brunt of that impact, “Just a… friendly wager. With the owner of the Manchester Thunder.”

“Hamish?” Talia cackled, “You hate that guy! You always say- what is it?”

“That he’s the you that grew up with freedom?” Angie offered, Talia snapping her fingers at the phrase.

Tom gaped, sputtering in response, “I don’t hate him! He’s just rather- he can be chaotic!”

“Weird to bet on the championship,” Oliver offered with a wry grin, “That’s the biggest choking day for players.” Tom squeaked in response.

“What did you bet him exactly?” Jake questioned curiously.

“That we’d be the winner, obviously.”

“Okay…” Oliver nodded, “But what did you actually bet him?”

Tom sighed, adjusting his neck tie- the same tie he wore to every game, “He bet his watch against my tie.”

Sunna snorted, not caring to cover her face as she laughed, “I’m sorry- that watch that you said cost more than my flat? Against your tie? Why your tie?”

“It’s my lucky tie.” He pouted, staring at the monstrosity of color. It had been paired with his actual present as a joke gift- chosen by his players during the holidays one season, Sunna was actually the one that presented the gift to him. It was a mesh of plaid and swirls, nearly every color in the rainbow crammed into it, and it matched almost nothing he wore- but Tom had always cared for it more than anything else he wore, because they had taken the time to get it for him.

Sunna sighed, a smile playing at her lips, “Suppose we need to win then. Gotta save your special tie, don’t we?”

The rest of the team laughed to themselves as they moved about dressing into their pads and jerseys, putting on their gloves and helmets. Tom may have been an odd man to decide to buy an ice hockey team after the life he grew up with, but they were endeared with him all the same.

It didn’t occur to Sunna until her skates hit the ice, face guard firmly in place and helmet strapped and tightened, she was damn near at her place on the goal line before she realized whose team Hamish owned.

Angie howled with laughter when Talia looked Sunna’s way before the ref dropped the puck, “You better not go easy just because your little crush, Kaminski!”

Sunna smirked, whipping her glove off long enough to flip her the bird before the game commenced.

And both teams gave the entire match their all, the only opponents in the league that could keep up with each other. Angie would score, and then a player would manage to slip the puck past Sunna, until the final seconds sat on the clock. Talia had gotten Liverpool up by one as the last ten seconds slowly ticked down, and Sunna recognized the player racing her way.

The words left her lips, puck knocked safely away just as the buzzer rang out, “Thought you had a slicker slap shot than that, Jones.” AJ’s head snapped over as the crowd screamed, Sunna pulling her helmet off to let her braid fall over her shoulder. She was trying to joke, engage in the banter she had grown accustomed to on their dates, but the blonde’s face clouded in anger.

“What?? You’re that Kaminski!?”

Sunna blinked, unaware of the tension that was clearly piled up on AJ’s shoulder, “Uh, well, yeah- is it that important?”

“Is it-“ The cheering crowd could almost overpower her shouting voice if they hadn’t still been so close, AJ’s face was red with rage, “You don’t think it’s important to know you play against me?? Have you just been dating me to get tips to use against us!?”

Sunna’s teammates had been cheering, heading her way to celebrate when they caught wind of AJ’s angry yells. The brunette girl reached out, some mix of confusion and regret in her face, but the blonde slapped her hands away, “AJ-“

“No!” She snapped, “Dating rivals is the forbidden rule! Right up there with a teammate’s ex!” She sped away off the ice before Sunna could respond.

Angie raced over with Jake, but Sunna just shook her head, giving them a glassy eyed smile, “Guess we saved Tommy’s tie, huh?”

“Sun,” Jake started, but she shrugged him off.

“It’s fine, I’m fine,” she laughed with no humor, “Rivalries- they always gotta ruin the great love stories, huh?”

AJ felt like an idiot for not connecting the dots sooner- of course it had to be that Kaminski, what were the chances there was another that understood the intricacies of the sport she’d loved for so long? Levi and Lucy wouldn’t stop giving her shit, making practices in the following days feel like they dragging on even longer. Hamish had always joked with their coach that AJ needed to burn off extra energy, even after practice, but now she just felt tired. Tai was growing more and more worried about her, and Gary was starting to pick it up, too. She didn’t have any excuses to tell them to stop their worry, because truth was she knew it was her fault. Rivalries are supposed to go two ways, but Liverpool had never cared. When the teams would have their tit for tat prank wars, the Blaze only ever responded. They never instigated.

When she had joined the team the feud was at a full blown scale, and she could remember how excited Hamish got when Liverpool was bought by Tom- only to be let down when he made trades. Tom let go of veteran players in Liverpool to trade and draft, until the team was the unstoppable force on the ice they are now. Sunna and Angie and Talia and Jake and Oliver were all recruits he had brought the team. But the new team didn’t care to keep it going, no matter what Manchester did.

So why did AJ let it be such a big deal to her?

Why did Manchester care so much more about this imaginary feud than Liverpool did?

The simple answer was that she didn’t know.

The complicated one involved the mistake she had clearly made.

AJ spent hours, memorizing every piece of information about every member of Sunna’s team. She had never looked into them before, only ever catching their faces on fan posters and things, so she hadn’t made the connection until Sunna had pulled her helmet off at the game. But now the more she learned, the more she realized how wrong she had been. Oliver worked with nursing homes on his time off- Jake offered free meals to the homeless. Angie was a volunteer paramedic with the fire department- Talia wrote music reviews for bands that were just trying to get their start, helping a lot of them get their big break with her name attached to praise about their demos.

And don’t even get AJ started on Sunna. Animal shelters, soup kitchens with Jake, running grief support groups, a professional stand up comedian for a brother. She couldn’t find a single thing she didn’t like.

And she had fucked it up.

Stumbling upon the team at another pub hadn’t been in her plan, but she couldn’t have raced to the table any faster without mowing people down.

But Angie cut in as soon as she opened her mouth, “Sorry, mate. This table is reserved for Liverpool Blaze players, ya know, since you need to be told specifically.”

Ouch, but she deserved that. The one she recognized as Talia shot up from where she’d been making heart eyes at Oliver, eyes narrowing with a blaze when she recognized her, “Oh, the damage in the rink wasn’t enough?”

“Come on, guys,” Oliver intervened, “You know Sunna wouldn’t want you giving her grief over it.”

“Just because Sunna is a pushover when she cares about someone doesn’t mean we are.” Angie shot back.

Oliver putting up his hands in surrender before he looked at AJ, “She’s not here. Probably with Jake again.”

AJ felt her mind swirl with what that could mean, knowing that any of the possibilities were her own fault, “Has she… has she talked about me? At all?”

“Ha,” Talia scoffed, “Wouldn’t shut up about you before. Now she barely says a word. Only Bruno and Jake can get her mouth moving.”

Again, the possibilities swirled at the word choice, but AJ had focus, “I- I need to talk to her. I wanted to apologize- I can’t mess this up again.”

Angie glared at her, “We’ll pass along the message.”

Oliver rolled his eyes, understanding of their anger but annoyed they were ignoring Sunna’s wishes to be civil, “You don’t even have a clue, do you?”

“A-about what?” AJ felt a deep pang of worry that he was about to confirm her worst scenario thoughts.

But he just shook his head with a sigh, “The way she would look at you. I mean, even just a picture of you. She’ll prang on about how moony Talia and I get- but when she looks at you… did you ever feel the way she did?”

AJ wanted to cry.

She had always thought her dates were the problem, that they were the reason a second date never happened. But Sunna had unlocked something of her that she threw away.

Her dates weren’t the problem. She was.

Racing through stoplights, AJ sped to Sunna’s flat- remembering it from their dinner date. Fist slamming into the wood, she was absolutely not prepared for a shirtless man to answer.

“Oh, hello, AJ.”

She blinked, eyes readjusting and focusing on his face. Jake. She felt her shoulders slump, “Hi, uh, sorry for interrupting your date. I’ll just-“

“Date?” He quirked a brow, confusion painting on his face in heavy strokes as he pulled on the shirt he held in his hands that didn’t quite fit him right, “My girlfriend is at temple, what do you-“ His eyes widened, recognition finally flitted through his irises, “Oh! Oh, you want to speak to Sunna? Uh, come in, come in.”

Jake grabbed her hand, pulling her over the threshold before she could stop him, and another male voice caught her attention immediately, “Sunny, mate, these are my best jokes. Something’s gotta make you laugh eventually.”

“Not really,” Sunna’s voice drifted over from the living room, “I’m sorry. I know you guys are trying, I’m just…”

“Bummed? Heartbroken? Too lost in love to cheer up even though your hilarious brother came all the way here?”

“You literally live down the hall, you prat.”

“Semantics.”

“You should shut up. Running your mouth already distracted you enough to spill oil on Jake’s shirt.”

Jake cleared his throat, watching their heads swivel his direction before their eyes landed on AJ, “Sunna has a visitor.”

Bruno narrowed his eyes, but stayed silent as the blonde tentatively waved, “Hi… I wanted to say sorry. I never should’ve blown up on you like that. I spent… a lot of time on our dates talking up the rivalry- why would you want to tell me after that? I didn’t make it easy for you- and- and I don’t actually care, ya know? I don’t care what team you play for because you still play and you love it and you understand why I love it and-“

Sunna clamped a hand over AJ’s mouth, the blonde had been rapidly talking and hadn’t even noticed her approach, but Sunna kept her hand in place, “I’m going to let go, and I need you to tell me the broiler plate reason of why you’re here, okay? I don’t want to get my hopes up.”

Slowly and gently, Sunna peeled her hand from her face, and as soon as it was cleared AJ spoke again, “I want you to give me another chance.” Sunna’s hand finally dropped all the way to her side, vaguely aware that her best mate was forcing her brother out into the hall as her mouth fell open and hope sparkled in her eyes. AJ took hold of her hands, “Please. Give me another chance, I promise I won’t mess this up again.”…”I promise I’ll try not to mess this up again.”

Sunna laughed, how could it have only been a week since AJ heard that sound and yet it still felt like she was coming home to hear it now? “Another chance, then.”

(A few months later, at the banquet to start the following season, AJ and Sunna arrived together. And by the end of the night, Hamish had finally agreed to trade Levi and Lucy away to Jasper- the bottom team in the league- after Lucy had targeted Sunna for ‘accidental collisions’ throughout the night after Levi had tried flirting with her. AJ couldn’t figure out why Lucy was annoyed, Sunna wasn’t her girlfriend, but at least they’d be gone.)

BOAT PARTY: IT CAN BE GOOD? PART 3

So, part 3 huh. Wow this is definitely longer than I thought. I think I'm just gonna continue this up until the point of when you choose between Lily or Aj because WOWSERS. ANYWAYS, check out the previous and following parts out below, or continue reading for more!

So we're gonna start off with the scene you get right as Episode 3 begins.

I like this scene, and I also dislike it. And those first two screenshots are why I dislike it. I don't really like people comparing or being like "oh I'm better because of x y and z" since it comes across as a little egotistical. I don't really know how I'd fix this, but maybe it'd go a little bit like:

AJ: "It's almost a bit... I don't know, it's surreal to think of someone letting you go."

Gabe: "Would you?"

AJ: "Absolutely not. I'd wanna stay and talk, even if we're a little angry. I'd never let you go."

Basically, it's the same thing, but worded in a way that doesn't make it seem like she's making Lily to be this bad person and she's much better. It's more just answering a question asked after stating something normal.

And then this next scene is the positive. I like how she's opening up to us.

Not like Bonnie who thinks she has a chance with S7 MC despite the fact that I've given her fifty shades of no.

Because there's actually something there. Chemistry. Now this is why I think the route has to be done in a way where the person you end up with isn't the one you wanted, and instead you go after "the one" during the boat party.

Because I headcannon this to be AJ and Gabe still liking each other after AJ walked when Lily stole Gabe at the end. Just like with the other LI's if you get stolen. It makes more sense this way. Of course, they were hit by the post casa amnesia that a lot of people in the game suffer (cough cough, season 2) but realistically this would be, well, realistic.

Though rather than saying "do you think something could happen between us?" I'd rather say "Do you think we could have something again? Just like the villa?"

That would be better for the whole idea I have.

Finally, the scene ends with this option. I only chose the middle one and not the top because in the game timeline, these two have supposedly never been together.

But if it knew that we had, then I'd be picking the top one, and the text would be more like-

AJ: "Do you think we could have something again? Just like the villa?"

Gabe: "I'd want that. The feelings I had for you in the villa didn't exactly go once you left. They've been... Lingering."

This whole scene ends with AJ going back into her Cabin, and Gabe saying how she hasn't felt these butterflies for a while. Which all in all is super cute, and you can just feel the romance.

These parts are getting shorter as they go, but I'm mainly trying to show you the scene and explain why it's good. Don't worry, there's probably gonna be a full recap at the end. I just wanna breakdown each part with the new LI first, and then put it all together.

Anyways, if you wanna see the next part, go back to the top!

It's not homophobic being mad that youre making Bobby gay when he's not

Bruhhhhh. I'm not gonna get into any more disk horse (TM) after answering this.

Bobby has no canonical sexuality. Bobby has no canonical sexuality.

Bobby has no canonical sexuality.

In canon, he has sex with MC and Lottie and is flirtatious towards Noah, but at no point did the writers make him say "I am straight/bi/gay/queer".

That's the case with nearly every other islander (excluding Marisol, Angie, Tai, and AJ). We have a pretty good idea that some characters are bi because we see them dating both men and women (Arjun, Elijah, Ciaran, Talia, Cora) but they don't specify their identities in canon. So while you shouldn't discount their same-sex attraction or see it as unfortunate for your cishet MC, you also can't say "they are canonically bi" when they could be pan, queer, gay, etc. And you cannot state that any character is by default straight, because that's homophobic and also just not true in canon.

Any fan claiming that the 'canon' sexualities of a character is x y or z is wrong, because we simply don't know that. Hell, I would even say that if a S2 writer came forward and was like "we wrote Bobby as gay but in denial" I would say it doesn't actually matter, because he's a static character in media that is not ongoing. If it's not in canon explicitly, it's up for interpretation, and that means no one is the authority on it.

All of that is to say that it's NONSENSE to get defensive, send anons, or fight over anyone's interpretation of a character's sexuality because It Does Not Affect You. Write your fics where Bobby is straight and solely in love with your MC. Play your game denying that he's interested in Noah. It doesn't matter. People's headcanons are no more or less valid than yours, and they don't inhibit your ability to enjoy a character.

But what does matter is that:

It's homophobic to insist that people can't interpret a character as gay or that a character being LGBTQ+ 'makes the character worse' or 'ruins them'

It's biphobic to be upset that a character you want to date might also be attracted to other genders. I don't even know how to explain how fucked up it is that people think that.

It's just bully behavior to go to someone with an interpretation you don't like and send them anons/make demands about how they interpret characters.

The LITG fandom on tumblr has been through this, like I said, THREE separate times since 2019. It's insane to me that people a) are biphobic/homophobic enough for this to keep happening b) don't have critical thinking skills to just let it go and disengage with content they don't enjoy c) are obsessed with Bobby enough where the controversies are ALWAYS about that little man.

#and also just? there is so much textual evidence to support bobby being bi #and it literally doesn't affect your MC if he is like he'll still date you #litg #i haven't made a post yet but im basically just posting all my drafts and leaving #because the tumblr fandom has become super noxious recently and also I'm Done With Fusebox and LITG #i straight up cannot engage with the same arguments that were happening in 2019 i refuse

The pages in this category are redirects from names that are unsuitable for inclusion in a printed version of Wikipedia. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R unprintworthy}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects.

See also the complete list of redirect templates and the redirect style guide.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.

These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.

These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

"Unprintworthy" redirects are redirect pages on Wikipedia that aid online navigation, but would have little or no value as pointers to target articles in a hard-copy book. The name of a redirect may be unprintworthy for a number of reasons, including being nearly identical to the name of the target page, containing typographical errors, or not being encyclopaedic. Redirects are not unprintworthy just because the name may be offensive to some, unless the name is also not encyclopaedic.

Previous Thoughts Go Bi Bi Bi

Lily x MC

Cigarette pursed in her lips, Frankie looked up at the neon streaming around the street as she patted down her pockets for a light. It was a fun night- or it was supposed to be. Why couldn’t she shake this lead feeling in her gut?

“Got you, babes,” Frankie turned to the light instinctively, letting it burn a cherry into the end of her smoke before she pulled back to fully see her best mate.

“Thanks,” she responded gruffer than she really needed to be. Sure, Lily was here to celebrate a proper birthday for Frankie, but that didn’t give her the right to be annoyed her best mate was flirting with some bird at the bar.

Lily pursed her lips, looking her over- Frankie had always been jealous of how pretty she was even when she made faces. “You been off all night. You sure you’re okay?”

“Surprised you noticed.” Frankie huffed, maybe she’d already drank too many pints, she wasn’t usually so short with her.

Lily’s eyebrows raised, hand popping onto her hip as she jutted it out, “Excuse me? What’s that supposed to mean?”

Frankie rolled her eyes, taking a long puff, “Means you’ve been pretty distracted tonight.”

Lily looked confused by Frankie’s tone, but so was Frankie. She never reacted like this with Lily, no matter what. Sure, she didn’t always like the people she dated, and she could usually tell with a glance someone wasn’t the right fit- but that was just being a good friend! Frankie was supposed to think that no one would be good enough for her best mate, supposed to think those posers didn’t deserve her time. She was supposed to think that her best mate was a sunflower in a field of dandelions. Wasn’t she? Sure, maybe there were people she didn’t give much of a chance, but they would never appreciate Lily the way she did and they would never love her like she would and-

Suddenly the lead feeling in her gut had a name.

Frankie stomped her smoke out, forcing a laugh, “You know, I think you’re right. Something… something has me feeling funny. I should get home.”

“It’s late, let me walk you-“

“No, no,” Frankie waved her off, glancing inside to where the rest of their mates were still dancing and drinking, “You stay. Have a good time.”

Frankie fled before Lily could stop her.

The rest of that weekend, she didn’t answer the texts she knew were piling up, didn’t answer when they phoned her and she let it ring and ring. Avoidance wasn’t the answer, she knew that, but she couldn’t come up with a different solution.

How do you tell someone that you just realized you’ve been in love with them?

How do you tell everyone you know that you aren’t straight like you and everyone else thought?

Fishing her phone out from the cocoon of blankets she’d buried herself in, Frankie called the only person she could think of.

Twenty minutes, her flat door was being thrown open, a far too energetic blonde bouncing her way in, “Just an FYI, Lils is very upset that she wasn’t allowed to tag along.” AJ kicked her shoes off, hurtling down the hall and into bed with her, “Wanna tell me what’s going on?”

“I-“ Frankie felt tears prick at her eyes, unsure why they appeared. It wasn’t like AJ wouldn’t accept her, she had just come out as a lesbian for crying out loud! But still the words got stuck.

AJ’s overly excited demeanor shifted, sincerity taking over, “Whoa, hey, babe, you okay?”

Frankie nodded, choking on her sobs, “I- I’m just- I’m in love with Lily.” She squeezed her eyes shut, that wasn’t the announcement she was trying to make! Finally she forced it out, “I think I’m bisexual.”

“Oh,” AJ blinked, “Okay. Wow. Um. Well, thank you. For trusting me. I’m proud of you.”

Frankie rolled her eyes, tossing a pillow at the blonde that her stupid athlete reflexes let her catch, “I know you don’t actually care. I need you to tell me what I should do.”

AJ pursed her lips, concentrating, “I can’t tell you what to do.” She answered honestly, “No one can tell you what’s the right or wrong thing to do here. You need to decide that for yourself. I will say- no one belongs in the closet. But if you feel safer in there, I’ll guard the door for you. And I can tell you Lily would take it… more than fine.”

Frankie cracked a small smile, “Since when did you become so wise?”

AJ snickered, throwing the pillow back at her, “Leave it, you scrub!” Frankie caught it, letting her smile fade as she picked at the threads on it, “Do you wanna talk it out?”

She shook her head… but then she nodded.

Facing Lily was an entirely different beast than coming out to AJ. They always joked that she was the spitting image of Scarlett Johansson, and if she was then Frankie was more like Emma Stone. She was pretty, funny, sure- but no one stopped an stared the way they did for Lily.

Frankie had always noticed, somewhere in the back of her mind, but as she watched Lily walk into the coffee shoppe to meet her today, she finally fully registered how much it actually was. Every man in the shoppe eyed her with a mix of awe and lust, the women with a sense of envy or interest. Her own gaze couldn’t be torn away as she watched the smile bloom across her lips when she caught sight of her, “Frankie!” She hurried over, gingerly taking the paper cup she was offered to take a sip, “You got my favorite.”

Her smile was soft, Frankie couldn’t understand how it was directed at her. Lily had been her best mate for as long as she could remember having one, Frankie had learned all of her likes and dislikes, her goals, but especially her expressions. This was a look that Lily often reserved for when she…

No, Frankie had to be reading her wrong, right? There was no way Lily could-

“You gonna tell me what’s running through your head or am I gonna have to guess like when we were in secondary?”

“Just thinking about… love.” She settled on.

Lily snorted, amused glimmer in her gaze, her attention focused solely on Frankie like she didn’t even notice the scattered stares she was still receiving, “Any particular reason or just as a general concept?”

“A very particular reason, yeah,” she laughed nervously, fingertips fiddling with the lid of her cup, “I- uh, well I guess I wanted to do this here so you wouldn’t feel compelled to stay or need to tell me to leave at your flat.”

Lily’s brow furrowed, “I’d never make you leave.”

Frankie gave her an anxious smile, “Keep that in mind, yeah?” She watched her nod, worry still swimming in her eyes, before Frankie allowed herself a deep breath, “Best to just rip off the plaster, right? I- uh, I have feelings for you.”

Lily’s face went through a range of emotions Frankie recognized- confusion, understanding, shock, before landing on tentative joy, “Really?”

Frankie shrugged, glancing up at the ceiling, “I don’t know how or when. But I spent all weekend talking AJ’s ear off over it. I know it’s real.”

Lily hopped to her feet- maybe Frankie had read her wrong. This was where she said they couldn’t be friends anymore. Where she said Frankie betrayed their friendship. Where-

“Come on.”

Frankie blinked, seeing Lily’s hand dangling in the air toward her, a bright smile on her face, “What?”

Lily giggled, “As ordinary of a destination as it is, I refuse to let our first date be a coffee shoppe. Come on!”

Frankie always knew Lily was her best mate.

But sprinting through England streets as they dodged pedestrians in a weirdly unspoken game of tag as they tried various food carts for a first date?

Well, now she thought maybe they were meant to be, too.

And to think she wouldn’t have it if she continued to believe she was straight.
