ok I am obsessed with your Capulet story and I saw this anon have this concept and I had to write a small thing for it bc!!!!!
****
Carl, a drink in his hand, had watched you as you danced with a guy – Derek, he thinks the guy’s name is – and he doesn’t miss the pang of jealousy when he sees Derek dip you. You then begin to do a little dance with Enid as well.
He doesn’t have time to dwell on that though, as you make your way over to him, a smile on your face.
“Grimes! You made it!” You grab his drink and down the small amount of liquor that had been in the glass.
Normally, he would protest but it was a celebration. And normally, he wouldn’t drink any alcohol, especially after what happened last time, but again, it was a celebration. The end of the savior war. After a few months of hard work getting Alexandra and the Saviors to work together after everything, Alexandra had decided to put together a small event to show that the two rival places were now working together.
“Uh, yeah.”
Before he can say anything else, you grab his glass again, this time, putting it on the table next to you, grab his hand, and practically drag Carl out onto the dance floor. You place your arms around his neck but he remains stiff, his arms at his sides. He didn’t know where to put his arms because, of course, before he,or you, or every other now teenager here, never got to have an awkward middle school dance or homecoming or prom or whatever. And while you two had grown a tad bit closer to each other since everything, there was still some awkwardness between the two of you, though you didn’t show it. Ever since the kiss and seeing you hurt from an asshole shooting your ear, he had deuced rather quickly he liked you. As in. Liked you, romantically. And to his surprise, when it slipped out in front of Rick, he was supportive, telling him it would be good as it would give both you and Carl good things to think about. As in, what the future holds.
“You stole my drink,” he says.
You scuff half-heartly before grabbing his hands and placing them on your waists and then put back your arms over his shoulders. “Don’t be so stiff, Grimes.”
“I’m. . .not.”
“You are.”
You barely knew each other but it seems you knew just how to get him to open up and can read him like a book. He can say the same about himself and you. He had even allowed you to cut his hair a little prior to this.
To his awkward horror, a slow song begins and instead of backing away like he expects, you pull him closer and place your chin onto his shoulder. Carl cannot help noticing the scent of lilacs and lavender soap on you. And when you lift up your head to look at him, he finally realizes that the shirt you have on – a burgundy henley shirt – is his. This when he is glad it’s dark out with only candles and fairy lights around him because it covers up his blushing.
“Every guy in this room is staring at you,” he says.
You smirk. “How do you know they’re not staring at you, Grimes?”
“They’re not.”
“Maybe they are.” You shrug. “Maybe they’re jealous.”
“. . .I'm not a threat.”
You sigh softly. “Oh, Carl, they should be terrified of you.”
Somehow, Carl was blushing even worse. You hardly ever called him by his name, only calling him Grimes or when you wanted to get him all worked up, cyclops. You stopped calling him that, though, after a while.
And for the hundredth time he had known you, he was once again surprised by you. This time? The surprise was you, leaning in and giving him a kiss on his lips. Not the quick one both of you had before, but a sincere one. It was soft and for one moment, he could imagine himself at a normal prom.
