hi hi, love neighbours 🥺 it hasn’t been mentioned (I don’t think) so I’m wondering- how did Vi come up with the nickname ‘angel face’?
SERIES: NEIGHBOURS
Vi had your name listed as ‘egghead’ before ‘angel face’ in her phone. You saw it one day and tried to get her to change it because- “I do not have an egg head, I have- have the face of an angel,” you splutter and Vi can’t stop laughing because she didn’t mean ‘egghead’ literally but because of the constant abundance of eggs in your fridge. But then one day, you’re sitting just a little too close to Vi and the sun is shining through her window and casting a warm glow over you and she’s staring, she knows she’s staring but, she can’t help it as she commits every bit of you to memory; the flutter of your eyelashes, curve of your cheekbones, slope of your nose, shape of your lips and Vi’s heartbeat begins to stutter in her chest and she thinks- maybe you are heaven sent. She calls you angel for the first time that night and it feels really intimate and a little too serious so, she plays it off and switches it up to angel face - “your words not mine,” she’d say to you - to put out whatever spark was about to ignite; to chase away that warm feeling in her chest every time she looks at you. Reminding herself that the two of you are friends. Only friends. And maybe she shouldn’t change your name in her phone but, her fingers seem to move on their own because how can she not change your name to ‘angel face’ when she’s sure that the fluttering feeling of wings that she gets in her stomach every time she looks at you, surely belongs to angels.
