Chapter Text
After picking up some slushies—you got blue raspberry and Rodrick got cherry—at a gas station with your friend on a late afternoon, Rodrick Heffley. Or.. whatever the fuck you two are, its confusing—you two kissed, cuddled, hell even said 'I love you' yet between the both of you, you still call each other friends. You decided to stay at his house for a bit, upon arrival, Susan his mother was in the kitchen cooking for dinner, Greg was splayed on the living room floor as his fingers pressed and clicked against the controller. Rodrick kicked off his shoes near the door, you greeted his mom a small 'Hello' before doing the same as you followed him to the living room, sitting down beside him.
Rodrick rambled about his band, something about.. a new song? You weren't really listening but anyways, you knew you loved this loser.. Just zoning out, admiring his face—but then you got snapped out of your gaze as Greg spoke out to Rodrick, making him shut up. He asked with a eyebrow raised as he paused the game on the screen. "You got slushies?" Greg inquired, "Yeah dumbass, why?" Rodrick replied with a scoff and a slight eyebrow raised. "I thought you hated grape? Something about it being a mistake in society.." The kid rolled his eyes at his sharp reply before skeptically asking due to the purple stain on his lips and tongue. He eyed Rodrick then turned his eyes to you before looking back at Rodrick.
"What? Of course I didn't get grape. Y/n got blue raspberry and I got cherry, stop being a nosy twerp-" His voice trailed down as he realized what he just exposed and your cheeks heated up a bit as your eyes widened slightly. Greg said with a shocked expression— "Wait so you too.." He cut himself before he could speak because he didn't expect his loser of a brother to kiss someone, let alone someone as cool as you. He thought.
You chuckled nervously, Rodrick was trying to play it off also cause his mother was just in the room beside. She wouldn't let him live it down. You could see Rodricks cheeks redden a bit and you just got even more flustered seeing him like that. You stammered, trying to find a excuse.
"No- We just drank from each others cups-" You mentally facepalmed, it would still be the same thing but a indirect kiss. Rodrick to tried to find a excuse, you would't be surprised if he came up with something incredibly stupid as hell instead.
"I- uhh.. I ate a purple onion for a dare-" Rodrick blurted out with a stutter and you face palmed, muttering under your breath as you shook your head. Though, you couldn't help but a smile tugged at your lips. You looked over at Rodrick, he was smiling lopsidedly at you with pink on his cheeks. "Greg.. Just don't be a little bitch and don't snitch please?" You said in a quieter tone as you rolled your eyes before leaning in to tell Greg.
"What do I get in return?" Greg said as he eyed Rodrick before looking at you. What a shithead, blackmail? Seriously? Where did he learn this?.. Probably from Rodrick honestly. You thought.
"5 bucks?..." You said with a awkward smile and a shrug, chuckling nervously. Rodrick on the other hand, was just worried about his moms teasing, knowing her, she would probably tell everyone she knows that her 'little' son is dating someone! You cared a lot too since your dad was strict with dating, specially if he finds out you're dating someone like Rodrick.
"Not good enough," Greg said with his eyes narrowing, pushing for more. "Fine, 20 bucks?" You said with another eye roll before Greg could speak up about his opinion, Rodrick spoke up, finally. Fuck wait—this idiot is gonna say something dumb..
"We aren't giving you anything you nosy little shit." Rodrick said in a quieter tone, hoping his mother wont heard the argument happening in the room beside her.
"I'm telling mom you swore at me and you kissed someone!" He said as he ran off, dropping the controller on the carpet and running to the kitchen. You gasped and Rodrick immediately chased after him, you followed them but just stayed by the arch entrance of the kitchen, peeping by the wall as you watched Greg and Rodrick talk and yell over each other as they tried speaking to their mom.
