❛ what the fuck? ❜

"Oh my god, you're so fucking stupid," mikayla teases through a sigh, laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling. she holds the phone to her ear with a grin tugging at her lips while occasionally petting the dog sleeping soundly next to her.

          chris scoffs from the other side of the phone and mikayla can practically feel him shaking his head at her words. "no, you," chris retorts like a little kid, making mikayla giggle at his reply.

          see, it's been kind of hard for mikayla and chris to maintain their relationship when she's in boston with her final year of high school weighing on her shoulders and the triplets are in la for college. they refuse to let the distance get the better of them so as a resort, they call regularly whether it's facetime or a normal call—what they're doing right now. mikayla hates how she can only see his face through a phone screen, but it's better than nothing.

          she's currently in her new home, an apartment building, while nate's at a college in boston. unfortunately for them, mason had to move to new york for his college of choice, leaving the friend group feeling oddly empty. however, he seems to be having a great time in the consistent videos and photos he sends to the groupchat that is always active. they're all glad that they don't let the distance ruin the bond that they've had for years and they hope it'll continue to stay like that.

          mikayla turns to lay on her side, glancing over at the framed photo of herself and chris on her bedside table. they're at their special spot, her arms around him as well as multiple kiss marks caused by red lipstick all over his face. a ghost of a smile appears on her face as she recalls the happy memories they shared before he moved away.

          the triplets still film youtube videos together since they're living in la together, in fact, they recently reached one million subscribers and they have plans to create a podcast in the future if their career continues to thrive. they visit boston when they can, whether it's during their time off from college or for their youtube videos to see their family and friends.

          miks would be lying if she was to say that she doesn't prefer when chris used to live in boston. it's natural but she's extremely proud that his future is going great with the lacrosse scholarship he was offered.

          "—wait, i gotta go i'll call you later?" chris asks, snapping mikayla from her train of thought. the words that leave his mouth makes her frown slightly but she's understanding that chris is extremely busy with everything so she says her goodbyes before chris ends the call.

          now mikayla feels empty; she's trying to not be one of those long distance girlfriends who seem to have their whole life revolve around their boyfriend, but she misses him immensely. she can't help it, most likely because it's winter and they've been doing the phone call thing for months.

          moments later mikayla hears a couple knocks on her front door and she knows it's nate coming back from college. she appreciates how understanding he's been since the beginning of her relationship with chris even if he makes stupid comments randomly.

          a loud huff escapes her lips before she's walking to the front door of her apartment. mikayla's hand reaches for the handle, twisting it slightly and opening the door. her head that was once dropped is now looking up and mikayla's jaw drops once she realizes who's in front of her.

          "chris..?" mikayla trails off, the shock of seeing his face in real life for the first time in months taking over. she immediately jumps to him, tightly enveloping in a warm embrace. "oh my god, what the fuck?" she repeatedly mumbles into his chest as he wraps his arms around her.

          chris chuckles, resting his chin on the top of mikayla's head. "someone missed me," he jokes, resulting in miks pulling away and nudging his shoulder. he stands in front of her, his hair slightly shorter than the last time she's seen him. chris is wearing a ucla hoodie with gray sweatpants to match as well as his white airforces. he looks good, as if he's glowing and miks smiles at the sight of him.

          she feels those familiar butterflies fluttering around her stomach while her heartbeat rapidly speeds up. mikayla knows that christmas is around the corner but chris had fully convinced her that he wasn't able to fly back to boston for the holiday. however, miks is slowly realizing that he just lied to surprise her.

          "how did i not know you were coming?" miks questions, tilting her head at him; this is the last thing she expected to see. "i mean, we were literally on a call..." her mouth hangs open slightly.

          chris shrugs, holding onto the strap of his gym bag probably filled with his lacrosse gear. "why'd you think i called you later than usual," the words leave his mouth in a tone that seems like mikayla should've been expecting seeing him at her front door. "where's owen?" chris asks with a grin, referring to the golden retriever dog that mikayla now has.

          during their summer break, the one thing mikayla's wanted since she was a child was a dog and that's exactly what she got. on a random saturday, the two of them went to a shelter and mikayla quickly fell in love with the first dog she saw. he's a puppy and she gave chris the opportunity to name him, hence chris naming the dog after himself. chris also refers to owen as 'their son', which mikayla finds amusing.

          "sleeping on my bed," miks replies before stepping out of the way so chris can enter her house. he takes a couple steps in and miks closes the door behind him as he sets his gym bag on the floor.

          now mikayla has the strong feeling of comfort as well as a sense of security that she's been craving since chris moved to la. she hums as the two of them walk to her kitchen island. chris takes a seat on the stool and mikayla quickly rushes to the freezer after buying something that she knows chris likes.

          "so how's school been going?" miks asks chris as she crouches slightly to open the freezer and take out a tub of vanilla ice cream since she knows how much chris loves that flavor. "like with lacrosse, parties—you know, shit like that," she adds on, placing the tub on the marble kitchen counter, then taking out two spoons from the cabinet.

          chris groans loudly, burying his head in his hands. mikayla turns around, the ice cream in one hand and spoons in the other, curious as to why chris doesn't seem too unenthusiastic at the mention on school, "fuck is up with you?"

         "let's not talk about school," his tone is stern as miks takes a seat next to him. "forget school, i just wanna talk about you, how's everything with your parents?" chris refers to the random day her parents showed up again, lacking any remorse after their last interaction with nathan and miks.

          "shitty," mikayla blankly mutters as she opens the tub of ice cream. "anyways, i missed you so much. maria misses matt—like she won't stop talking about him," she chuckles quietly at the remembrance of maria's consistent moaning at the lack of matt. "matt, matt, matt, matt," miks uses her hand to gesture talking actions.

          chris understandably nods his head, shoveling his spoon into the vanilla ice cream. "matt's here too, downstairs with nick," he warmly smiles as a grin grows on mikayla's face. "i wanted to surprise you before we go to maria's house."

          "oh my god can we please go out, all of us," mikayla pleads, still slightly upset that mason can't join them. she will forever miss hearing his stupid jokes that light up the whole room. "i miss hearing matt and his road rage whenever someone's car is too close to his."

          "of course we're going out," chris scoffs, his hand falling to mikayla's thigh. his touch sends shivers down her spine, missing this. missing him.

          mikayla leans forward towards him, their faces only inches apart. "i missed you," mikayla whispers against his lips as her hand reaches for chris' jaw, her thumb rubbing against his freckle littered cheek.

          "how much?" chris challenges, a smirk tugging at his lips. he tilts his head slightly as mikayla finally closes the distance between them, matching each other's speed in perfect harmony.

          mikayla melts against his touch as her hands find their way to his brunette waves and the side of his neck while the moment they're sharing is blissful and means so much to both of them. chris is kissing her softly, not trying to rush this moment that only brings them back to their first kiss. mikayla's heartbeat quickly speeds up while they continue to kiss.

          she can't find the amount of words that can perfectly describe how much this boy means to her, not matter how much she actually tries. chris is so important to mikayla, more than he'll ever know and she hates that but at the same time she loves it. it just shows herself that she's never loved a boy the same way that she loves chris. every moment shared between them is special to her and she'll treasure all of them to the day she dies. they're perfect and they're meant to be, nothing will change that.

          no matter how many obstacles they go through, nothing will change her strong feelings towards chris.

          she loves him, she'll love him forever because there's just something so special about christopher owen sturniolo.
