36. things you said but didn’t mean
[Noor excuses herself to another room when Britt calls her. After some time, a nosy Engel listens in from another room.
Britt: I've never heard of you making a friend so fast. Even we gave each other the evil eye for a day or two first.
Noor: (chuckles) Well, I just, think she's nice, and cool, in a very not cool way. I don't get bored of her-
Britt: But isn't this like the third time you've blown him off for her? I mean, you know exactly what this reminds me of....
Noor: I don't, and I don't think you -
Britt: Robbe and Sander. You remember how shitty we felt? How they'd spend more time together and less with us? And look what happened there?
Noor: Yes, I know. I still can't stand Old Town Road. I thought you were fine with all of that now.
Britt: I AM! I'm just not okay with you making someone feel how we did. Noor, are you and Engel more than friends? Are you into her? Are you a cheater now?
Noor: .... No, I only like Engel as a friend. Besides, she's the last girl I'd hook up with, she's so straight she may actually repel homosexuality. I'm really into this guy too....just him. No one else.
[Engel fidgets with her bracelet, eager for the water clouding her vision to stop. One deep breath, then another, and another. And then, smile as wide as you can, and you'll believe it too.]
Engel: I'm not jealous of you!
Noor: Oh?
Engel: Im jealous of him. Because I like you. Because you're super cool and....because you're so fucking pretty and i like girls. Because I'm a lesbian.
Noor: ....
Engel: Why do I feel like I did that wrong?
Noor: Not wrong, but very wordy. Very very wordy.
Noor: And charming. Oddly. Check your phone later, I'll call you...
[Noor squeezes Engel's hand]
Noor: (whispering) Because I like you too.

12. things you said when you thought i was asleep
[Engel and Noor sit on a couch together, a bowl of snacks between them and the sounds of a horror film plays in the background]
Noor: I was surprised when you said you’d be down with horror movies, I expected you to be into more like-
Engel: Disney princesses and sing alongs?
Noor: Yeah, actually. So when you said you were I was like, do we go with gore? or supernatural stuff, revenge flicks, so i just picked a few of each.
Engel: Hmm, yeah, well all good choices...
[Engel places the bowl on the table in front of them and as she does, a jump scare sends her falling back towards the couch. The two share a look before bursting out laughing]
Noor: No, it’s great. You’re so brave, you could fight off all the zombies, don’t even worry about it.
[Noor gives Engel a side huge, Engel rests her head on Noor’s shoulder. Seizing a chance to not have to watch more carnage, she closes her eyes. Trying to focus more of the sound of Noor’s breaths and heartbeats than the film.]
Noor (whispering): Are you asleep?.......Engel.....?
[Engel waits just a tad longer, wanted to soak up the affection as long as she can]
Noor (whispering): You’re way scarier than this film....liking you is scary.....
[Engel was shocked, and likely would’ve gasped had she not been pretending to be asleep. But then she felt a soft kiss on her foreheard, and decided to keep this dream going.]
I made a alternative musician Noor x indie singer Engel edit a while ago and I can't stop thinking about how cute that would be. They could be 'rivals' and have to date in secret for a while. And Noor gets protective over Engel when they're around her punk friends and Engel's friends don't like Noor because of her reputation.
I love that!!!
I like to think about Engel calling Liv for music advice, or they duet and Liv’s like...I dont know who this is about, but you’re in love with her.
Britt notices that Noor’s spotify playlist has more love songs than usual and tries to coyly figure out what’s going on.
they end up booked at the same venues and Noor pretends to be annoyed but in reality she set it up to see Engel
the barely coded lyrics, maybe their sounds even start to mesh a little from spending so much time together.
Engel’s friends fearing that Noor won’t be a stable support for her. Noor’s friends fearing that Engel absorbing so much of Noor’s time won’t be a good influence.
covers of ALL OF THE GAY SONGS
ok hear me out I’ve been writing stuff down for a noor x engel university au,,, and like noor works at the campus radio with a lot of pretentious music ppl and Engel wants to make a podcast about feminist topics but since she’s inexperienced the people who run the station kind of scoff at her except noor is like no this is a good idea and helps her get it started and figure out the equipment and everything and engel is like maybe u don’t suck & then noor asks engel on a concert date
yess!!!!!! i love this!
imagine them recommending podcasts + songs to each other that gradually get more and more personal /romantic or like, at the concert!
i feel like engel would be the type to be like ‘I brought snacks and wore comfy shoes’ and noor is like ‘i brought a flask and wore my gayest outfit’
maybe there’s like a mosh pit/rowdy group that almost bumps into engel and noor grabs her to move her out of the way but doesn’t let go and engel just kind of sinks into it
send us your beewens headcanons/aus and we’ll reply with our own!
The second prompt for the anon :)
15. Things you said with too many miles between us
"I miss you"
"Yeah, me too"
Even Noors voice sounds far away, a little distorted through the speakers of the phone.
"What did you guys do today?"
Engel starts telling about their day, today the four girls finally reached the sea in their roadtrip. They listened to Jannas music whike driving and built up their letarge group trend as soon as they reached the camping area.
Engel looked forward to this trip for months but now she can't help but to feel a little melancholic. Mostly because she really misses Noor.
"Can't you just come over?"
Noor laughs warmly.
"You know I can't. Also your friends probably would get annoyed if you bring your girlfriend everytime you hang out with them."
"They wouldn't. They love you."
Her melancholy must be easily heard in Engels voice as Noor speaks up again.
"Come on, dumbass. You are amazing and incredibly strong. You'll get along for two weeks without me, it will be over in no time. And I promise we'll hang out all the time once you're back."
"hmm"
"Heck, I'd even plan a cute date if you want that. But for now your friends deserve some Engel as well."
Somehow this already makes Engel feel better.
"Thank you"
And she's right. Engel is strong. And this entire trip is probably going to be fun.
Noor just chuckles and starts telling her something about a project she's doing.
Until Engel hears the girls coming back, Livs voice calling for her to come to the beach with them.
"Hey, I have to leave"
"Hm. Have fun with the girls."
"No worries. And don't forget planning that date!"
Noor laughs warmly.
"You know I can't. Also your friends probably would get annoyed if you bring your girlfriend everytime you hang out with them."
"They wouldn't. They love you."
Her melancholy must be easily heard in Engels voice as Noor speaks up again.
"Come on, dumbass. You are amazing and incredibly strong. You'll get along for two weeks without me, it will be over in no time. And I promise we'll hang out all the time once you're back."
"hmm"
"Heck, I'd even plan a cute date if you want that. But for now your friends deserve some Engel as well."
Somehow this already makes Engel feel better.
"Thank you"
And she's right. Engel is strong. And this entire trip is probably going to be fun.
14 or 15 for that number thingy! 😊
Thank youu 😊 Desicions are hard so I did both. Here's the first one:
14. Things you said after you kissed me
Engel keeps her eyes closed a moment too long, still in disbelief this just happened, that Noor just kissed her. That she simply pulled Engel towards her and closed the remaining space with her lips.
She can still feel Noors breath on her lips, her warmth, how close they stand.
"You can open your eyes now"
It's barely a whisper but it still makes Engels heart beat a little faster.
"Okay"
Even now, that Engel can directly stare into Noors beautiful dark brown eyes, can see how her lips curl up in a soft smile, how her eyes twinkle, none of them steps back. They are still so incredibly close.
"I've waited ages to do that" Noor whispers, her breath caressing Engels lips.
When Engel remains quiet she starts speaking again.
"Because I really like you, if that wasn't obvious."
Engel feels a smile forming on her lips.
"Me too"
She doesn't specify if she too waited ages to kiss Noor or if she really likes her but Noor seems to understand. She nods lightly, her soft smile unchanged.
Again there is a pause, just a beat of silence while the two girls look at each other.
Then Noors smile gets wider.
"Does that mean we can do that again?"
Engel laughs quietly while gripping Noors collar to pull her in for another kiss.
