Summary
Devi narrows her eyes. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
He flops on the couch and picks up her remote. “Quarantining, David. You can read, right?”
“You’re not quarantining here, are you?"
“You are aware of what quarantine means, right? Like, the definition of the word?”
Devi picks up one of the pillows on the couch and whacks him firmly in the head with it. “Of course I know what it means, you idiot. Some of us have more than one brain cell.”
“Oh what, like two?” he quips, grinning up at her, smug.
or; devi's ok at one-night stands, she likes to think. but when quarantine orders come in, a one-night stand turns into a lot more than just that

Summary
“That's not how Latin works, and you know it, David. You're making my ears bleed.”
“Oh, like you do whenever you speak Mandarin?” she shoots back.
Ben laughs. “We both know I’m better than you at it.”
“You only got good at it to spite me.”
“That’s what a good friend does, David.”
She scoffs and rolls her eyes. “You’re the most annoying friend ever, Gross.”
Ben flashes a grin at her. “I’m still your best friend, though."
or; ben and devi grow up together, as academic rivals, best friends, and maybe, just maybe, something more

Summary
“Ben confessed his love for me in a big musical number!” Devi blurts out, grip tightening on her coffee cup and breathing heavily.
Eleanor nods. “Go on.”
“I mean, he didn’t exactly confess his love for me, he sang that he thinks he loves me and that’s a little bit different, right?” Her voice shakes, like a leaf in the breeze, a tree swaying in a hurricane. “And it’s terrible because I can’t stop thinking about it, El. The way he was smiling, the way his blue eyes just lit up, the way he took my hands and stared into my soul.”
or; an mri machine has fucked up devi's life considerably, and the scariest part of it? finding out her long-time nemesis has feelings for her. she's just hoping there's some guidebook on how to handle this (also known as: the zoey's extraordinary playlist fusion no one asked for but we wrote anyways)

Summary
He presses a hand between her shoulder blades, gripping her suffocatingly tight, so tight, she finds it hard to breathe, but Devi decides here and now she’d rather be here, in Ben’s arms, than anywhere else.
(it’s not the first time she’s chosen him over breathing. not the first time he has literally taken her breath away)
His hand moves from pressed between her shoulder blades to cradle her head, weaving through her hair, pressing her even closer to him, tucking her face securely into his neck.
In his arms, she feels safe, and secure, and protected, and pressed this close to him, she can feel the beat of his heart, steady, strong, sure, and in tandem with her own. She doesn’t want to let him go, doesn’t want him to let her go.
or; five times after malibu ben and devi almost kissed, and the one time they did

Summary
Ben leans back in his seat, crossing his arms. “Just spit out, David.”
“I need you to be my fake boyfriend!”
Ben’s eyes widen and his mouth falls agape. “What?” he breathes.
Devi steps closer to his desk. “Look, it’s not my first choice either, but believe me, it’s purely tactical. I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend until everyone stops gossiping about me, and about how I’m still hung up on Paxton.”
Ben frowns. “I’m sorry, let me get this straight. You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend… so people stop gossiping about you and Paxton?”
or; devi asks ben to be her fake boyfriend. it would be easy, except for the fact that he used to be her best friend, and now he's not
