Chapter Text
Flynn has a theory. A theory that she’s absolutely certain is true, no matter how much Julie objects.
The boys are definitely more than friends.
She’s been spending a lot more time with the band, now that she can see them whenever Julie is around. There’s been some epic sleepovers and pop culture catch up nights in the studio. Reggie has even been hanging with her and communicating through notes and songs. (Yeah, he was definitely her favorite).
“Listen, Julie! They are way too affectionate for three guys raised in the 80s and 90s. I’d buy it if they were actually our age because people are finally way more aware of toxic masculinity. I’m telling you, they’re dating.”
“If they’re dating why do Luke and I have such great chemistry? And why does Reggie hit on anything that moves?” Julie shoots back, pointing a finger at her best friend for emphasis.
They’re camped out on Julie’s bed, working on a group project for their history class.
“Psht, you’re just ignoring the obvious because you have a crush on Luke,” Flynn responds, dragging out the word crush in a singsong voice.
“Jules, I know queer when I see it. And them boys? Ain’t straight. They’re all over each other every second. Remember when we showed them Lilo and Stitch and they all started crying and hugging when Stitch was talking about his family? Or when we painted Alex’s nails and Reggie and Luke barged in an hour later demanding to match?”
“They’re just really close friends! All of them had kind of tough home lives.” Tapping her pencil against her chin, Julie gets a spark of inspiration. “How about this, if you get proof they’re dating, I’ll do your algebra homework for a month.”
“Hmm. Okay, okay, I’m liking what I hear. But what happens if, by some miracle, you prove they aren’t dating?”
Julie grins wickedly at her best friend, who immediately lets out a groan upon seeing the familiar expression. “You finally have to ask Kayla out!”
“Ugh, fine! But let the record show that I am only agreeing because I am absolutely certain I am right!”
Now all Flynn has to do is come up with a way to either get their ghost friends to admit it, or find evidence. This is going to be fun.
