it's friday, i'm in love

aka. three times fabian has a breakdown about getting his kisses in (or not)-----This sucks. All the teen rom coms Fig watches lied, there isn’t anything fun or cool about being in love- not in love- with your best friend. It’s just uncomfortable and weird and has the potential to ruin everything. The worry crawls under his skin and sits there like static, buzzing to life any time Riz smiles at him or pokes him in the ribs or frowns in Fabian’s direction like he’s thinking too hard. Things that used to happen without a second thought every day, and now Fabian can’t help but do a double take, or jump a little when they happen. Which then makes Riz do his little there’s-a-puzzle-to-solve-here frown at Fabian; and what if he thinks Fabian’s acting weird because he likes the Ball? So then Fabian acts more freaked out and Riz pays more attention and- it’s all just some horrifying positive feedback loop of weird unspoken feelings that makes Fabian feel like he’s perpetually falling down a set of stairs.
