“Okay but like... how direct is too direct? I don’t wanna scare him off or anything. Plus it’d be weird if I got rejected and it made our friendship awkward,” she hummed, her attention on him completely. It was clear to her that Quentin clearly wasn’t catching onto the fact that she meant him. Leave it to Quen to be completely dense when it came to romance.
“Will you at least be my shoulder to cry on if I get rejected? You gotta promise!”
“Ah, sorry, was that a little sudden?” she mumbled, glancing over at Quentin, “I wouldn’t usually ask but it’s been a while. My mom used to do it for me and. . . I guess it’s been a while.”
The ginger doesn’t usually talk about her family, trying her best to keep focused on the here-and-now. It’s a bit of a defense mechanism so that she won’t get sad or worried. Meg isn’t really sure why she’d even mentioned it tonight. Perhaps it was the fact that it was so late and she was tired or maybe a small part of her felt the need to explain the request. After all, she rarely took her hair out of its braids and when she did, the athlete had always been adamant that only the girls could help her brush her hair out before tying it right back up.
She was just going to blame it on the sleep deprivation, nothing else. That was the only reason she’d asked. Even so, she said, “You don’t have to. I’m sure you must be tired. I didn’t wake you up, did I?”

Awe, it so wasn’t fair that he was being this cute. If he kept it up, Meg was really going to have to hold back the urge to give him a quick kiss. Instead, she simply focused on downing Quentin’s drink for him. She didn’t really like cider but finishing off the alcohol for him was better than giving it back. He’d clearly had enough.
“You’re definitely ‘drink’, Snuggle Bug. Just chill out a little and let your body try to burn some of that alcohol off.”
make me feel <3 (idk if i already sent you one but here ya go anyway)
Make Me Feel // s t i l l a c c e p t i n g !22. your muse finds a box of nice letters addressed to them written by my muse
He hadn’t really intended to find the box. In fact, Quentin had just sort of stumbled upon it while cleaning up around Meg’s house. She’d gone out to get groceries to make dinner so he’d thought he could at least tidy the place up as a small ‘thank you’. After all, the ginger was constantly inviting him over and making food. The few times he’d shown up unannounced, she hadn’t complained either.
It’d been midway through cleaning up around the desk in Meg’s bedroom that he’d knocked the box over. Quentin hadn’t expected to see a slew of letters fall out of the dingy shoebox, staring down at the folded notes spread out all over the wooden floor. With a sigh, he knelt down to start picking them up. Picking up the first one, he was surprised to see his name written plain as day on the back of the letter. However, as his eyes took in the pile of papers on the floor before him, Quentin realized they were all addressed to him.
The insomniac hesitated for a moment, unsure of just what to do. Gathering all the letters back into the shoebox, he kept it close and stood back up. Sitting down at Meg’s desk, he put the box back in its spot before grabbing a random one. Staring down at it, he nibbled on his lip as he absentmindedly fiddled with the corner of the page. While Quentin usually wouldn’t invade the athlete’s privacy like this, he was too curious about the contents of the letters. If they were all addressed to him, why had she never given him any?
Well, if they were all meant for him, that meant it technically wasn’t snooping around… Mind made up, he flipped the letter open and began to read.
Quentin’s face began to burn as he re-read the letter, clearly surprised by what he’d just read. Folding the letter back up, he didn’t think twice before he grabbed another. Again and again, he kept looking through these notes as if it was simply impossible for them to be real. He knew that handwriting though, knew it was Meg’s. It was the same shitty half-cursive writing she used when making grocery lists.
Staring down at all the open letters in front of him, he found himself unsure of just what to do. His cheeks were red, flattered by all the kind things Meg had said about him in her letters. Slowly folding them all back up, he put them back into the box before closing it completely. Heading out of her room, he headed downstairs only to watch as the athlete nudged open the front door with her foot. She had grocery bags hanging off of both arms and in her hands, clearly trying to make it all in one trip. Glancing up to see Quentin on the stairs, she grinned and chirped, “I’m back! Does chicken stir-fry for dinner sound good?”
