Now that Mora followed you…
(In the best way possible.)
At first, it was just a one-time thing.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
The first time you forgot he followed you was honestly your biggest mistake.
You were mid–“get ready with me,” phone propped up, music blasting in the background while you half did your makeup and half talked nonsense.
“Okay wait—this eyeliner is either gonna look really good or imma look emo”
“Mi Mayor Anhelo” started playing.
Slowly lowered your brush.
Stared at yourself in the mirror.
You dropped everything dramatically, turning toward the camera like you’d just been betrayed.
You clutched your chest, fake crying, fully screaming the lyrics off-key, running around your room like your life depended on it.
At one point you literally fell onto your bed, face down, still yelling.
Went back to finishing getting ready
gil_morita liked your story
Your eyes went wide, your jaw dropping as you stared at the notification like it personally attacked you.
You grabbed your phone so fast you almost dropped it.
Immediately calling your friends.
“YOU DID NOT JUST POST THAT IN FRONT OF HIM—”
“I FORGOT HE FOLLOWED ME!”
You hung up just to screenshot it.
Straight to your close friends story:
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
You’d post something stupid—he’d like it.
A random goofy pic? Like.
You ranting about anime at 2AM? Like.
A random pic of your food? Like.
At first, you told yourself it didn’t mean anything.
But then it kept happening.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
You did stop reposting the edits though.
Not because you didn’t like them.
He could actually see them.
And the thought of him watching those dramatic slow-motion edits of you saying his name…
the internet noticed everything.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
First, it was the follow.
Then people started connecting dots.
“She stopped reposting edits after he followed her…”
“WAIT HE LIKES ALL HER STORIES”
“AND SHE LIKES HIS POSTS BACK???”
People analyzing timestamps like detectives.
And the biggest question?
✧₊⁺When were you two going to meet?✧₊⁺
You didn’t have an answer
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
“You got invited to film with Quen Blackwell.”
“For her YouTube channel. ‘Feeding Starving Celebrities.’”
“I know,” your manager said. “They want you for a cooking video.”
You didn’t even hesitate.
“They also mentioned a surprise.”
“…what kind of surprise?”
You should’ve been suspicious.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
you walked onto set, trying to act normal.
You practically tackled her in a hug.
“I’m such a big fan, I love your videos, I’ve been watching you for YEARS—”
Quen laughed, hugging you back.
“Girl, YOU’RE the celebrity here.”
She pulled back, smiling.
“I have a very special surprise for you later.”
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
The camera started rolling.
“Heeelloooo internet, I’m Quen Blackwell—”
“And today,” she continued dramatically,
“we have the most famous, most chaotic, most alpha sigma female on the internet—”
You didn’t even let her finish.
And posed like nothing happened.
“Heeellooo citizens of the internet,” you said, out of breath but committed,
“it is I—your most beloved actress.”
Quen grabbed your hands and you both started jumping.
“I’m actually such a fan of Quen, I’m so excited, I might cry—”
“You better not cry in my kitchen.”
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
You cracked an egg wrong and got shell everywhere.
You tried to flip something and almost launched it across the room.
Quen had to physically grab your wrist.
"Calm down babygirl Im here to help"
At one point, you just started eating ingredients straight from the bowl.
“Stop eating the raw batter!”
"You're going to get sick"
“Plus its for emotional support!”
Music was blasting in the background
and that was the real problem.
Because the second a good song came on
You were already climbing onto the counter.
And instead of pulling you down—
Quen climbed up with you.
Now both of you were on the counter.
“THIS IS A BAD IDEA—” she yelled.
“Then why are you up here?!” you laughed.
“Because I support bad decisions!”
You started dancing first
and Quen immediately joined in, matching your energy.
She grabbed your shoulders, both of you jumping in sync now.
right there on the counter.
You popped back up like it was nothing.
and immediately grabbed onto you.
You were both laughing so hard you could barely stand straight.
Holding onto each other for balance.
Completely forgetting you were supposed to be cooking.
You both jumped down at the same time.
“Because you started it!”
You grabbed the spatula, trying to save whatever was left.
Quen dramatically fanned the air.
“This is why we can’t have nice things!”
“This is why you trust the process!”
Still completely off track.
Everything was going perfectly.
Which should’ve been your warning.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
A few minutes in, Quen suddenly clapped her hands.
“Okay,” she said, turning toward the camera with a grin that immediately made you suspicious.
“That face. I don’t like that face.”
“I told you guys I had a surprise.”
You sighed, shaking your head, still stirring.
“…if this is something embarrassing—”
“It’s not embarrassing,” she cut in, way too quickly.
You looked at the camera.
“People have been talking a lot,” Quen continued.
“Shipping you with people—”
“But especially with one person…”
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
Then let out a small laugh.
You shook your head, turning back to the counter.
you heard a voice behind you.
Just standing there like it was normal.
Like this wasn’t insane timing.
You stared at him for half a second
then let out a breathy laugh, covering your face briefly.
But you were already smiling.
He walked closer, a little stiff, a small smile on his face.
You dropped your hand, meeting his eyes.
“Hola,” you answered, more grounded this time.
Quen was losing it behind you.
“I’m actually witnessing history—”
“Quen, you did me so dirty,” you said automatically, not even looking at her.
Mora laughed quietly at that.
You stepped a little bit further away, trying to give him space
“¿Sí eras tú el que veía mis historias o era un impostor?” you asked, teasing.
“Sí era yo,” he said. “No me escondo.”
You let out a small “mhm,” pretending to think.
There was no weird pause this time.
He glanced at you, then opened his arms slightly.
You stepped in and hugged him like it was normal.
Like you weren’t meeting for the first time in front of a camera.
You pulled back, still smiling.
“Pensé que ibas a ser más serio.”
Quen clutched the counter.
“Quen, your gonna be hearing from me very soon” you said, grabbing a spoon again like nothing just happened.
Mora looked at the mess in front of you.
“…¿esto hicieron ustedes?”
“Íbamos bien,” you defended.
“Okay, entonces ayúdame en vez de criticar.”
He stepped next to you without hesitation.
“La verdad está bien, pero yo mando ahora.”
Standing next to you but not too close, helping, teasing, bumping shoulders with you like it was nothing.
Just looked like some cringy teenage flirting
You kept talking to him in Spanish without even thinking about it.
At one point, you handed him something without looking.
Your hands brushed for a second.
You moved it away quickly.
Quen turned to the camera, fully serious now.
“I just want everyone to know—this is better than I imagined.”
Mora glanced at you, small smile still there.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
After all the chaos, the dancing, almost burning the food, and Quen laughing so hard she had to sit down—
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
“Okay, we’re done!” someone called out.
Quen clapped, still smiling.
“That was actually my favorite episode.”
“You say that every time,” you laughed.
The crew started packing up.
Quen got pulled away by someone on her team.
“Wait, I’ll be back,” she said quickly.
“You better,” you warned.
“No promises,” she teased, walking off.
it was just you and Mora.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.˚. ✦.˳·˖✶
You leaned back lightly against the counter, exhaling.
“…ok,” you muttered to yourself, then looked at him.
“Aún se siente raro,” you admitted, shaking your head.
You glanced at him again.
“Perdón por todo el caos,” you said, half laughing.
“Así eres, ¿no?” he replied.
You smiled a little more, relaxing.
You tapped your fingers lightly against the counter.
“…no sabía que ibas a venir,” you said.
“Yo tampoco sabía mucho,” he answered.
“Solo que era sorpresa.”
“Quen casi me mata del susto.”
You nudged his arm lightly.
“¿Siempre ves mis historias?” you asked, a little teasing.
"Pues la verdad cuando puedo.”
“¿Y tú? ¿Siempre haces esos videos?”
You both laughed quietly.
You shifted your weight, looking at him again.
“…me cayó bien conocerte,” you said, more genuine now.
“Bueno,” you said after a second,
“la próxima sí cocino algo bien.”
“Eso espero,” he said, amused.
Someone from the crew called your name.
You took a small step back.
You smiled once more before walking off
feeling lighter than before.
