rowley jefferson and greg heffley are pretty much two peads in a pod. wherever greg goes, rowley will follow. normally that wouldn't bother rodrick much, he rarely even spends time with greg, much less rowley, he's too focused on löded diper. so when his parents suddenly announce that they are going to a "relaxing" getaway and they agreed for greg and rodrick to stay at the jeffersons house, greg was thrilled, rowley always stays at his house but he never stayed at rowleys but rodrick was not happy at all.
rodricks and gregs parents were all set to go, they had put all their suitcases and stuff in their trunk, they all said their goodbyes when rodrick asked, "do i have to stay at the jeffersons too? i-i'm 17! i can handle myself". rodricks dad sighed, "yes rodrick, you have to stay there too, don't worry, rowley has an older sibling so you don't have to watch over greg and rowley all by yourself!" his dad tried to make light of the situation but from the looks he got.... it was clear it didn't work, "yeah okay, let's go" his mom said before waving them goodbye.
greg and rodrick are walking to rowleys house with their bag slung over their shoulders, greg clearly being more excited, "rowley has an older sibling tho... maybe you two will get along" greg said, obviously trying to tease rodrick, unfortunately rodrick didn't give a fuck. he has seen both of rowleys mom and dad, he can't imagine rowleys older sibling would be diffrent.
after a while they finally arrived, "you knock." greg simply said, rodrick rolled his eyes "yeah right, rowleys your friend dimwit" greg sighed and knocked on the jeffersons household door, after a few moments rowley opened the door and invited greg in... and of course rodrick. rowley and greg wasted no time and immidietly ran to rowleys room to do... kid stuff? well, rodrick didn't care, he just needs to make sure they don't die right?
rodrick walked around the jefferson household, there were a lot of pictures, drawings... it looked like a perfect house... for a kid. a kid like rowley. it was too clean, too motivational, too- "you're gregs brother right?" rodrick turned around to see you. "damn..." he muttered to himself, "i- i'm rodrick- rodrick heffley! drummer of lö- löded diper!" oh god why is he stuttering?! he's totally embarrassing himself in front of a hotty. "i'm y/n" "y/n! yeah, hi. uhh- you must be rowleys..." he tried to think of something while pointing finger guns at you... for some reason, you can't be rowleys older sibling, you look nothing like him! "i'm rowleys older sibling" rodricks eyes went wide for a moment before he managed to control his facial expression, can't let a hoty know he's a loser- okay well he isn't but... we all know he kind of is. "rowleys... older sibling?" he still can't believe it, how can someone like rowley have an older sibling like... you? "well... we should talk about older sibling stuff... r-right?" rodrick was desperately trying to find a topic so you two can talk, but unfortunately that's the best he could think of. "uhm... sure? lets sit" you invited him to sit on the couch and rodrick seemed to be fighting with himself on whether he should sit closer to you or not. "y-you know i never seen you before..." rodrick spoke up first, "i've never seen you either" you countered. yes you're little brothers are best friends, but your dad quite dislikes the heffley family, saying that it's a bad influence to rowley, that's probably why you two never seen eachother.
after some more awkward conversations, rowley came downstairs, "i'm hungry..." rowley said, with greg appearing behind him. "think mom left some lasagna, can you please help check the fridge, rowley?" you asked and rowley obliged. rodrick and greg seemed... surprise? you and rowley weren't constantly fighting like them, rodrick smirked a bit to greg, clearly a lightbolb turning on, but when he looked back at you to say something sarcastic, the words got caught in his throat.
rowley didn't only check if the lasagna was there but also heated it up in the microwave, "oh? thanks rowley" you told him as he walked to greg to invite him to the dining room, unfortunately you didn't trust him much yet with those things so you excused yourself, when you walked to the kitchen you saw how he set the microwave timer to 20 minutes. you looked back at rowley and sighned, you changed the timer to an apropiate time.
you walked back to rodrick who was still sitting on the couch and invited him to sit in the dining room, he reluctantly obliged, but when he arrived there, he was a bit confused on where he should sit, 2 more seat options left, maybe it was obvious, maybe he was supposed to sit near greg because well... you would prefer to sit near rowley right? but what if you didn't actually want to sit near rowley? what if you purposely try to avoid rowley because he's an annoying duffus? maybe- "why haven't you taken a seat yet?" he heard your voice, "well- uhm- i was..." they all waited for him to continue but he decided it's best to just sit beside greg, you laughed a little.
after a few minutes the microwave timer went off and you pulled out the lasagna from the microwave and set it on the dining table with rowley helping you set the table. you excused yourself for a while to go to the bathroom, and when you came back, the lasagna was almost gone with a tiny piece left for you. you sat beside rowley, confused. "wheres the rest...?" you asked obviously and the heffleys just looked at you with awkward grins. "y-you can have some of mine!" rowley slices his piece in half to offer it to you, "no- you can have mine, it's okay" rodrick interjected and sliced his piece too, rowley was about to say something before rodrick shut him up, "it's okay, really!" rodrick was about to slide his piece to your plate but- "i'm fine, don't worry, don't worry. this piece is enough for me" you told them as you took the last piece of lasagna.
a few hours later, it was bedtime for greg and rowley... well it's also supposed to be bedtime for you two but you guys are old enough to not follow bedtime hours, that's for kids right? it was sort of easy convincing the two peas in a pod to sleep... or well go to rowleys bedroom. they promised they'll immediately sleep but it was obvious they were still playing, you just didn't wanna interrupt your brother and his best friend.
you went back to the living room to see rodrick just... being there? since he went into the jefferson household he didn't really know what to do, his initial thought about pranking his little brother and his best friend was ruined because he needed to get the best first impression from you. "you can sleep in the guest room by the way" you told him while pointing to the direction of the guest room, "the couch isn't really comfortable" you joked a bit, trying to make him less... tense. "oh- yeah. yeah i-i'm- i'm gonna go there. yeah. uh. bye?" rodrick tried to act cool and it was backfiring, but at least it made you laugh... yeah maybe he would rather have you laughing with him than at him but this is a start, right? you gave him a simple wave as he walked to the guest room. when he opened the door and saw that soft bed he threw himself on it. "did i make a fool of myself?" he muttered to himself and scoffed, "nah" he convinced himself and immediately fell asleep.
i tried to avoid making it a romance cause well... i'm bad at writing those, sorry ya'll
