Chapter Text
Recently you got back into contact with one of your best high school friends, ██████, or as you liked to call them; Facty. You two had been texting for a while now and they even offered for you to hang out with them!
Though the problem was… They had lived back in your guys' hometown, which was quite far away from where you lived now for just a simple reunion, so they asked if you’d like to stay over for a few nights.
Uh, hell YEAH?? Sometimes you miss the absolute fun times you and Facty used to have when you guys were close, specifically when they had invited you over to their house. Being able to relive those moments again was everything you could want.
And just like that you were packing your suitcase with random shit 2 days after that conversation, you were livid with joy at the idea that you’d spend time with them again… So much so you mindlessly started to pack clothes that were a bit… too forward without even realising.
Eh, this’ll bite you back later, not my problem. No? Not a fan of the fourth wall breaks? Okay I'll stop.
—————————
You had pulled the handbrake, highlighting that you had made it to your destination. This was it, you had got to finally see one of your best friends after 3 years. You crossed the straps of your purse around your hips, making sure it didn't look stupid and hopped out of the car.
Feeling that carpark air that smelt like an average garage hit your nostrils like crazy, making the atmosphere of your body more greasy–NEVERMIND THAT! You have a factemeister to reunite with !
You grabbed your suitcase out of the trunk, and focused on the main goal: getting to Facty’s right apartment. They had told you the number, buuuut….. You were never good with remembering that kind of stuff, plus you couldn’t check your phone currently, your hands are full! It's whatever, it was like… 81? 83? You were competent enough to get there.
Passing by every single door, you knocked on what you hoped was the right door, and thankfully it was… Seeing those recognisable blonde strands of hair and rosy, puffy cheeks was the hit of dopamine you needed.
“_____! You actually made it!! Ahahah, how’s my greatest companion since secondary education doing?!”
“FACTY! Oh my goodness it's so good to see you– AHH!! You’re looking amazing these days!”
The two of you sputtered and squealed at the same time whilst seeing each other for the first time in forever, both apologising and copying each other’s speech accidentally before exploding into a laughing fit.
“HAHAHHAA!!– Ooohhhh, I haven’t had that much of a holler since… hey, whaddya know? Since we last hung out!”
“Huhuhuu, really? Huh I guessed you reeeallyy missed me then didn't cha ya nerd?”
You teasingly nudged Facty’s shoulder as you carried your suitcase inside, Facty closing the door behind you with a chuckle before pushing your shoulder gently back in response.
“This is a nice place, Fact… You renting or something?”
“Ohh, nah. I’m sharing a bill with two other guys, they’re actually some good friends of mine! We do adventures together to pay for this apartment!”
“Mmm… Wait– wait what? Adventures to pay for this joint?? Does that mean it comes with the job or something…??”
“Nooo, no silly!” Facty chirped in a sing-songy tone as they poked your cheek before walking to the sink. “Me and the gang, gangasinmeandtheotherguyshere, record videos of us going on educational adventures! It's a pretty sick way to inform others, don't you think?”
It all clicked to you as you remembered why you even gave the nickname Facty to them in the first place, this guy LOVED learning about new facts and telling others about their interesting new knowledge. It was always super cute and innocent to you, you were always willing to listen to Facty ramble on about something you’d forget tomorrow, it was just the way they spoke in such a gentle, genuine tone.
You could tell Facty actually put effort into understanding what they told someone, no matter what it was. They were always enthusiastic to learn more and pursue whatever it was. That part of them, god it made your heart flutter and tighten from pressure.
“Huhuu, well that does make more sense now.. This occupation was like MADE for you.”
“Ahh, enough about me… How have you been since we last met? Still pursuing–”
You immediately pushed your finger against Facty’s lips in a comedic way, your foreheads almost touching from how close you suddenly got to them.
“Short answer, no. Never again.”
As you moved away and returned back to your normal manner, Facty was left a little stunned from the sudden contact, their cheeks a more deep dark pink than usual. They shook their head and tried to resume back to their optimistic manner.
Clearing their throat, they perked back up behind you with something to say.
“Sooooooo.. Do you wanna explore the new cafes here? There’s a bunch of stuff you haven't seen since you left!”
“OH! Oh yeah!! I remember I was gonna ask you that! I’m so down for that, you wanna go now?”
With an enthusiastic, shaky nod of their head, you both left the apartment and conversed the whole way there about old times, new experiences and just basically anything they were able to think of!
—————————
Walking side by side again with Facty had you all fluttery and soft inside, it wasn't a bad feeling of course, in fact you missed this specific, comforting sense. It was like sleeping before you wake up, being conscious yet asleep in a comfortable bed, hugging a soft pillow with the smell of contentment in your freshly washed blankets..
..You wondered how Facty would feel if you were hugging them, probably a little hard to position at first, but comfortable in the end, they’d obviously smell the same, with their– that natural pheromones that were so fucking addictive to inhale, that Dove shampoo mixed in with a dollar tree clearance conditioner that makes the most nicest smell somehow, their plush thighs crossed around your… your… legs! Yes, your legs… but, the thought of Facty’s clothed dick pulsating slightly around your ass—
“____?? HEY!! ____!!”
“HAH?!?!! HUH WA HUH???”
“D–.. Did you not hear me? We’re here.. You okay?..”
“I’m.. I think I’m fine, I just got lost in my thoughts that’s all..”
“...Okay, just let me know if you aren’t feeling well, we can go back if you’re not up for it.”
Facty opened the door for you and you awkwardly shuffled in, embarrassed and confused at what just happened within your head.
..You mentally noted to get a medical appointment regarding this when you’re back home.
“You know.. I actually visited this place a while back when it opened with my pals!”
You hummed in interest whilst avoiding eye contact, sliding into the other side of the booth very inconveniently. You bounced and shuffled your butt further into the seat instead of simply walking to where you wanted to sit.
You didn’t particularly notice, but Facty watched in complete silence with their eyes focused specifically on you and you only, breath hitching at your movements.
They cleared their throat and tried to continue on about their previous statement.
“Uh.. Uh yeah..! Yeah, the pastries at this place were quite marvellous in my opinion, I think you’d like it..”
“Mmm.. I mean, it did smell pretty good when we walked in.”
“..Yeah.”
The sudden awkwardness that struck you two was bad, both of you were conflicted at what their mind was thinking, both embarrassed at the thought you had conjured up of each other.. It was quite ironic really, going from optimistic and energetic after reuniting to quiet and tense.
———————
Both of you had ended up in a local park, sitting on a bench with your leftover desserts. You quietly stared off into the distance, glaring at nothing in general. However, Facty was exchanging quick glances at you every second they could, waiting for the perfect moment to be able to speak to you again. They had longed to hear your voice again, after all, this was why you guys were even reunited.. Was it not?..
…
“You know Facty…”
The broken silence caused them to perk up like a golden retriever, paying their attention only on you as if you were light to a moth. They scooted slightly closer, ants stopping the distance between your guys’ thighs.
“I think my biggest regret was leaving town.. That whole career thing that fucking prick offered me was the worst years of my life.. God.. I’m so fucking stupid.. If only I wasn’t so blinded by daydreaming..”
Facty softened at your words, glancing away for a second as they felt solemn for you. They fiddled with their fingers whilst slightly backing away, taking in the depth of how badly your past experiences affected you, they too were devastated when you had moved away for something that.. was quite out of character for you. However, they never wanted to antagonize your decisions or make out something bad about you, that was the last thing they’d ever want. Facty always wanted to be someone that was supportive and there for you.
“.. You’re– You’re far from stupid..”
“Hah... Thanks Fact.. But even you know that’s a lie, don’t you?.. No common person would blindly commit to something as dumb as that..”
“No… No, no NO ____! I’d never tell you something that was false.”
They lunged forward at you, your faces’ millimeters apart from touching whilst they held your hand with both of theirs, covering your smaller palms with their calloused large ones.
“Never _____… Even when my body was trembling and paralyzed with the agonizing feeling of pins and needles stabbing deeply into it nonstop after you told me your final decisions about leaving, my mind never even once crossed the idea that you were wrong for doing this, that you were stupid, or that you were just ANOTHER PERSON IN MY LIFE..! YOU… YOU WERE EVERYTHING TO ME!–”
Facty immediately slapped their hands onto their mouth, eyes bloodshot open with fear at what they just admitted, their cheeks burned with fire as they became as pink as a peach and their ears started to heat up. They had pushed themself as far as they could from you on the bench whilst you were left distraught.
Your eyes were also wide with shock, mouth open in the slightest at the sudden interaction, your hand was still up in the air as if Facty was still holding it, your body hadn’t computed that they were far apart from you, the feeling of their hands was just like that comfort of home and peace you adored so much..
“Fa… Facty?..”
You murmured as if that was the last word left on the Earth.
“..............”
A minute passed by with complete silence, Facty avoiding complete eye contact with you as you tried to get a response. You reached your hand out to touch their shoulder, when all of sudden–
“I THINK…– We.. w-we should get home..!! Yup..! Ahha! Nevermind all of that nonsense I–I uhm spouted… Mhm!!.. Let… Let’s just get outta here, it’s uh– getting late anyway..! AHHAHA!..”
Standing up out of nowhere, Facty started to power walk away as you confusingly followed, trying to figure out what had just happened for them to act out like this. Your chest tightened from the realisation at why Facty started to act all avoidant and awkward, blaming yourself for acting like that earlier. You insulted yourself constantly inside your head as your mind made new depressing ideas and scenarios on why everything had gone downhill.
Fuck.. maybe this is just a dream, maybe everything will get better after you sleep it off, I’m sure its fine.
