❛ 𝐒𝐎… 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 𝐖𝐄’𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖? ❜ God, she missed the gang. Not that Ned wasn’t fun; far from it! He was actually really… funny, and easy to talk to. But she missed Velma’s heavy breathing, and Scooby’s wet dog smell when it rained, Shaggy’s constant complaining and Fred… well, that was a can of HEARTACHE she didn’t want to open because of worms… or whatever the saying was.
Ever since the gang had split up, she’d attempted to branch out. Hence, how she’d met Bess, and her friends. Sharing a sorority had made them sisters, and sisters inherited friends… or something like that. And now she was FAKE-DATING one of her sororisister’s buddies as a favor. Bess’ best friend’s ex, to be exact. WEIRD didn’t begin to cover this…
❛ Well, I hope we can get lucky. ❜ Winking, she embarked up the long path of stairs up towards the cluster of manors. ❛ You brought a flashlight, right? ❜

“well, i mean... YEAH. that’s what people who are dating do, right?” ned replies with a tentative laugh. he’d been second guessing himself all week about this -- maybe he should have picked someone else to help him get through this. daphne was nice, and funny, and really pretty, and --- well, his point being that maybe he would just screw up their somewhat still new friendship beyond repair by asking her to do this. maybe it was just too much to ask. he’s about to offer to just drive her back home when she speaks again, joking with a wink that gets his cheeks a little flushed. he barely even hears her question. “oh! erm...” he clears his throat and pulls out his phone. “sorry, i’m not usually equipped for these kinds of things -- that’s more of joe’s thing. BUT i do carry my phone, always fully charged, and technology has come a long way.” ned turns on the flashlight option and smiles proudly. “PLUS, i have a portable charger. but, um... what exactly are we doing again?” daphne only agreed to ‘go out’ if she picked the destination, but not much had been discussed after that. she just gave him directions and he followed, thinking it was just gonna be a mall, or an event... he was not exactly expecting a bunch of creepy looking houses.
if he’s not the last name she would’ve expected to see on her screen , he must be close. she hasn’t expected a text , let alone a phone call , since the last time they talked. she hopes he doesn’t notice , doesn’t comment , on the second longer of silence than necessary on her end. ❛ always. are you okay ? ❜ bad question is a belated message in her head. her instinct is almost always to account for danger , but the only thing wreaking havoc in their lives lately seems to be nancy herself. ❛ i didn’t expect to hear from you … anytime soon. ❜

god, he shouldn’t have called her. he shouldn’t have, but his fingers dialed her number subconsciously before he could really acknowledge it. he didn’t expect her to pick up, because, be honest, the odds have always been a thousand to one when it came to that. so when she actually answered, ned just blabbered the first thing that came to mind. he didn’t even want to talk, per se, just... hear her voice. it’s kind of ground shattering to have someone in your life for so long and then suddenly.... not. “yeah, i’m good. well, physically. nothing to worry about there.” he regretted this. a lot. oh god. “yeah, i.... honestly, i don’t even know why i called. i guess it’s a habit i haven’t been able to QUIT yet. are you... are you good?”
@wistcrias said: “ if you wanna yell at me, go right ahead. “
“i don’t wanna yell, nancy,” ned says, his tone defeated. his food is mostly gone and cold now, and he doesn’t really wanna do this in public. not that it would be such a big deal, since she took so long to get there that they were pretty much the only two left at the restaurant; except for the older couple over by the window seemingly celebrating their first night off from their kids, by his voyeuristic guess. “i’m just tired of having this conversation.” he’s memorized her voicemail message at this point, and he’s so tired of the sad looks from the waiters as they refill his water seven times while he waits like a LOSER for his girlfriend --- on a night they agreed to months ago. usually he puts up a front and takes it, because he does get it. he has taught himself to get get it. but there’s only so much someone can take sometimes. “should we just go home?”
@wistcrias said: “ I couldn’t think of a better person to be judging other people with. ”
he throws his sister a smile followed by a slight bump of their shoulders. “yeah, well, i’m legally obligated to. it’s in the small print of our SIBLING CONTRACT,” ned teases before taking a sip of his drink. “who next?”
okay it’s final. ned is a cancer sun, virgo moon, and libra rising.
receipts below :)
Cancer Sun Virgo Moon lovers crave domestic life and to nurture. Their main purpose in life is to take care of others. They hate seeing people in pain. They also think a lot of the worst that could happen. When they’ll be smothering with their partner, they are most likely terrified of losing him or her.
They show their love to their partner by criticizing and expressing their wish to make the relationship better. Ruled by Mercury, they have a need for communication. Their downside emerges when they become nagging and too worried. The concern that they’re not good enough can paralyze them.
If you’re a Libra rising, those who come into contact with you likely think of you as pleasant, sweet, and charming — whether or not that’s what’s going on below the surface. Since Libra is an air sign, you are social, enjoy being around others, and collaborating on projects.
If your moon is in Virgo, you’re probably diligent about exercising and eating right to achieve optimal wellness.
They are very generous and kind in this respect, and this surrounds them with a lot of friends in life. They remain really supportive at times, even if they may not be able to find a solution to a given issue.
He’s the type of guy who attracts women to him with no effort. His magnetic charm and professional success are really what women will mostly look for. Unfortunately, he’s still plagued by the image of the ideal woman, the epitome of what he could ever ask for in a partner, perfection in other words.
At home, he’s the one doing the dishes, cleaning the house, dusting the carpets, cooking for loved ones, and rearranging the furniture to better fit their taste.
Nancy! Hey. It’s me, Ned… Nickerson. Uh, this is like the 200th time I’ve left you a message without a response. So if you’re trying to tell me something, I do not know what it is because you won’t call me back.
@sleuthings said: “ Get back on this sofa and spoon me this instant. ”
“someone’s needy and bossy today,” he replies with an infatuated smirk. bess and joe left the apartment precisely three seconds ago, so it makes sense that his secret boyfriend instantly wants his attention. but ned would never pass up a chance to tease frank -- even in a newly romantic dynamic. “you sure you don’t wanna wait a bit more? they could have forgotten something and need to come back for it. we could get caught.”
@dangeress said: "how long do you think we'll have to do this for?"
“i mean, hopefully not too long,” ned answers, trying not to show his disappointment at the question. surely, daphne didn’t mean it like that, but he still couldn’t help but be stinged a little bit. “i promise to let you free as soon as i can, but we’ll have to be careful. if we don’t 100% convince them that it was an amicable break up, they’ll probably just try to set me up with BUMBLE girls again, and i am not ready for that.”
@flabberworried said: “ your mom called! your parents have invited us out to lunch. ”
“wait --- they did what? god, this is why you have to stop picking up my phone whenever i leave it in the living room, joe.” with a sigh, he properly arrives at their apartment, putting his coat and shoes away and taking his usual seat beside his roommate on their sofa. “at least it’s free food, since they’ll probably insist to pay. and i guess i could finally eat something other than pizza or chinese takeout.” ned just has to say things out loud in order to work through them. stay with him here. “alright, fine. but you need to promise not to embarrass me.”
