Chapter 9: Epilogue

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Laurie sat across from Yuwen in a bright red Dairy Queen booth, tapping her spoon against her Blizzard.

“So, this is where you take all your boyfriends?” he teased, raising an eyebrow, "or just the ones you write songs about?"

Laurie nearly choked on a laugh, turning bright red. “Oh my God—who told you?”

“Roch,” he said instantly.

Laurie groaned, head in her hands, making a mental note to scold her bestie later. “Unbelievable.”

He just grinned, all confidence. “I liked it, by the way. The song.”

Laurie looked up and rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t hide her smile. “Yeah, yeah.”

A comfortable silence stretched between them, the hum of the shop filling the space.

"You know, I asked you here in like, 7th grade. Do you even remember?"

Now it was Yuwen's turn to go bright red. "Of course- I took your bag that day, too."

Laurie smirked, "At least Taylor taught you how not to be a terrible boyfriend. I was just so embarrassed I asked you in front of everyone."

Yuwen nudged her foot under the table. “For what it’s worth, I had no clue what you were actually saying. Roch chewed me out like crazy, my head was in the clouds.”

Laurie leaned back, smiling. “And now?”

He smirked. “Now I know better.”

She sighed dramatically. “Guess that means you should give me a bite of your Blizzard, as payback for the emotional turmoil. And my bag.”

Without hesitation, Yuwen slid his cup toward her.

Laurie took the spoon, grinning. “See? Finally making good choices.”

Yeah. This felt right.

Notes:

Hi yall, Liv here! Had to write about my goat Laurie. Never been more represented in media lowkey. And ofc, I fell victim to Laurie/Yuwen because again, she was me in middle school and I always picked the Yuwen type.

This high school au is my baby and I am super proud! Think of it as a season two? Very mild, no real drama- just watching our fav softball player turned singer/songwriter thrive! I have the whole thing written so I'm gonna go ahead and publish it at once :)

This is pretty heavy on the Laurie/Yuwen moments, but I think yall might enjoy it even if you don't ship them! If you guys like this, I'd be super excited to explore a different dynamic/AU/scenario with any of the Pickles.

As always, I welcome feedback as a new-ish writer.
