¨she nodded leaning back into him.

"Awesome, 'cause watch, I have it all figured out!" he told her enthusiastically, again reaching into his pocket for a few more things, including a slightly deformed tealight, a lighter and a deck of cards that honestly shouldn't have fit as well as it did. He laid it all out the the side and wrapped his arms around her for a minute, just enjoying being in her presence. "I know it isn't exactly super romantic, but I thought it could be fun," he confessed.

she reached up kissing his cheek. ¨it´s perfect¨.

Zeke grinned and turned to repeat the action, then removed an arm to try and light the candle. He got it eventually, and even though it didn't really provide much light, it was still pretty. He figured they could probably see enough with just the streetlight, but it was the thought that counted. Or so he told himself, though he still worried things weren't enough. That's when he remembered that he had some leftover candy, and so he offered a few Starburst to Rae.

she popped a few candies in her mouth then layed down putting her head in zeke´s lap.

He laughed softly and combed through her hair with his fingers, his head resting against the wall as he stared out the open door. It was quiet for a moment, and then his voice interrupted the comfortable silence. "What do you think would happen? If they found out about us?"

¨They´d probally hate us they hate each other were supposed to hate each other¨ she said.

He hummed. "I think you're probably right…" he trailed off, back to studying Rae's face. He couldn't imagine ever hating her as he pretended to in front of the bands. "Who will be my Montague now, to this broken Capulet? How, how, how if not for you?" he sung quietly to her, the lyric randomly entering his thoughts. "Weird," he said after a moment. "I don't actually remember what song that's from." Zeke gave a sheepish smile, shrugging when she looked at him.

¨she closed her eyes. ¨Toy soilders¨ she said simply/

He stared blankly, then it seemed to click. "Right," he responded quietly. "I dunno, I kinda relate to it a bit. But see? This is why you complete me. I doubt I'd even remember the names of my own songs if I didn't sing them every day." His tone wasn't serious, but there was an element of honesty in his voice that was easy to detect. Instead of giving her the chance to remark on it, he stretched a little and asked, "So, do you know how to play war?"

she nodded sitting up getting on her knees she kissed Zeke.

This time there was nothing stopping him from leaning into it, gently pressing her closer with a hand on the small of her back. When he broke away, his breathing was a little heavier, but he smiled and peered at her through his bangs. "Not quite what I meant, but it works," he said breathlessly.

she smiled up at him moving her platnium blonde hair from her face.

He kissed her again, this time a brief peck on her forehead, and patted the ground besides him, already reaching for the deck of cards. "You don't happen to know how to shuffle?" he wondered aloud. "'Cause I kinda suck at it."

she looked at her phone ¨crap crap crap¨ she said.

He paused mid reach, putting a steadying hand on Rae's shoulder instead. "What is it?" he asked, making no effort to hide the concern in his voice.

"We have that party tonight"" she said.

"Crap, you're right! Damn it," he sighed, running his fingers through his blue fringe in annoyance. "Any chance we could cancel?" he asked without hope.

she shooke her head "no".

He made a long, drawn out hnnn, then nodded. "Alright," he conceded. "Guess it's time to go back to 'hating' each other?" he asked, making air quotes and trying for a smile.

she nodded and kissed his cheek "I''ll see you later"" she said and ran out heading to her apartment to get dressed and headed towards the party.

He sat brooding for a moment, but seemed to shake it off and did the same, though not before snuffing out the tealight.

(yeah)\
Rae walked into the party as Rory hugged her "where have you been"
"out" was all she said.

A few minutes later Zeke was stepping through the front door. Immediately he was swamped by his bandmates, minus Sam who was probably elsewhere socializing or getting drunk. "Yo Zeke, where you been?" Ian demanded, launching into a discussion about how he'd been slayed earlier while playing Halo with Sam , all because Zeke hadn't been there. "Er, yeah, sorry. I was passed out at home," he lied, rubbing his neck. His eyes landed on Rae, but he quickly looked away to avoid arousing suspicion.

Rae saw Zeke and smiled shyly before looking away.

He tried to keep his eyes off her—he really did. Every move she made was stunning though, and he had to forcibly turn his head away from her to keep their eyes from meeting again. Donnie shouting his name right into his ear startled him back into reality, and he winced dramatically while shoving him away, laughing at the betrayed look on his face. "What?" Donnie glared at him, though there wasn't any real heat behind it. "I've been calling your name for like three minutes," he answered, rolling his eyes. "Is there someone here you like or something?" Zeke coughed slightly, trying to recover from the surprise that came with the accusation. "N-No, not really." "Whatever man," was Donnie's unbelieving response, but he didn't push it. "Let's go get something to drink," Ian cut in, dragging Zeke by his wrist to the kitchen. He managed to give Rae a quick thumbs up at her appearance before disappearing around the corner.

she laughed quietly as she disappeared in the crowd dancing along with the musci

"Nooo," Zeke complained as Ian shoved a can of beer in his face. "Just one, Zeke. You can't be straightedge forever, you know," his friend commented. "Actually, I can," he started to protest, but ended up rolling his eyes and motioning for Ian to hand him a second one. He walked back to the doorway and caught Donnie's eye, then raised his voice to say, "Heads up!" as he tossed it to him. Donnie grabbed it at the last second, already popping the tab and taking a swig before Zeke even looked at his. "What a catch, Donnie!" another voice shouted, and Zeke groaned exaggeratedly. "Well, there's Sam, back at it again with the Fall Out Boy references," he mumbled to himself, taking a sip and watching Rae from the doorway with a what did I get myself into look.

she smiled at her friends before leaving to go to the back private room.
