Their band's name and rep has grown over the past two years, causing them to finally get signed. As for you, you finally opened your very own salon at the age of 20, with your two best friends Mikasa and Sasha. You three have been working for years, building a good client base and doing people's hair, nails, and waxes from your shared house.

    You couldn't wish for a better life. You and the people you held closest to you are successful. Lord Knows, you all deserve it. Since today would be the last day you would all be together for a while, you all decided to spend the day together.

    "When we made the plans to spend the day together, I didn't think we would spend it in this shop." Eren groaned as he sloppily swept the floor of your shop. Connie and Jean were carrying in boxes, as Armin was helping you, Sasha, and Mikasa put up decorations in the lobby.

    "Eren it's only 10 in the morning, we'll be done soon," Mikasa replies while organizing all of her nail polishes onto little clear shelves behind her stations.

     "We are getting something to eat after this though, right ?" Sasha chimes in as you came back to the front of the store to take a box from Connie's hand.

    "Yes ma'am," you respond.

    "Do you guys have bricks in here ? Why are the boxes so heavy ?" Jean asks.

    "Well Jean maybe if you didn't carry four boxes at a time to impress Mikasa, you wouldn't be struggling right now," Connie laughs. Jean begins to blush as Mikasa turns her head to look at him.

    "Says you. You're the one who made us meet (y/n) at her house way earlier than we needed to, so you could impress her." Connie nudges Jean in the side, almost causing him to drop the boxes in his hand. You give the back of Connie's head a small slap.

    "Stop fucking around before we have to buy new equipment," you turn to face Jean, "I'll take these two to my station Jean, thank you." You take two boxes out of Jean's hand and begin to walk over to where you would soon be doing hair.

♪ 4 p.m.

    You all finished up with setting up the salon. Everyone was already tired and you guys were barely through your day together. You and Connie had spent most of the time cleaning and decorating your stations.

    "Alright we riding out in five seconds. If you not in the van, you gettin' left !" you slightly screamed as you and Mikasa exited the shop together. After saying this, you hear footsteps rushing behind you. Everyone filed out of the shop and you took your key and locked up.

    You then unlock the doors to your van, that was decorated like the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. Everyone piled in, leaving you and Connie to be in the front seat. The front seat, like the rest of the car, for the most part was normal. Only thing that was unique about your van's interior were the LED lights attached to the ceiling and the pink fuzzy dice that hung from your mirror.

    " I think Imma miss this thing the most," Armin says, grazing his hand along the door. Your group had so many memories in this van. Like the times you would have your smoke sessions, your road trips, or that one time when Mikasa threw up all over Jean's lap because she was drunk and car sick. Good times.

    "Yeah. One last road trip you guys," you pause trying to find a way to make this a not so sad moment. "Anyways who want aux." You put your keys into the ignition, take your car out of park, and head to a gas station to pick up some snacks and energy drinks for the trip. As usual Sasha went crazy with the snacks and you went crazy with the energy drinks. Everyone had got what they wanted and piled back into the car.

    "(y/n) do you still have those blankets in here ?" Eren asks.

    "Yeah check behind your seat and pass me one while you're at it." Eren reaches behind him and pulls four fluffy blankets from the back of your car. He hands one to you, one to Mikasa, who was sitting next to Jean, and one to Sasha, making sure to keep one for himself. You put the blanket on you and Connie's lap and began to set your GPS to Panama Beach.

Starting Two Hour Route To The Nearest Beach: In 500 feet...

♪   

    The first half of the drive was its usual routine. Everyone talked, laughed, ate, played car games, and you guys even took a little break to pee on the side of the road. Eventually everyone fell asleep except for you, Connie, and Armin, who was indulged in one of his books.

    "You're lookin' pretty tired. You know you can go to sleep right ?" You turned your eyes to face Connie, who was staring at the sun's golden hour.

    His attention turned to you. "Nah I'm good. I like staying up with you." The car went silent until Connie spoke once more. "So, this is the last time I'll be able to ride shot gun for a while."

    Without taking your eyes off the road, you softly push Connie's shoulder. "Nigga don't start that mess now."

    "What do you mean ?"

    "You're about to go and travel the world, doing what you love most. You should not be here getting sappy with me, when the first big adventure of your life is about to start."

    The more you said this, you realized you were just trying to convince yourself that this is the best for him. And it was, you wanted him to live the dreams he would always talk about. But as selfish as it sounded, you wished you didn't have to say goodbye.

    The way you cared for Connie was different then the way you cared for the rest of your friends. It was safe to say you had a crush on him ever since you all met, but you never told him solely because you knew that you two having a relationship beyond friendship could potentially delay your careers.

    "Yeah, I guess you're right." Connie stretches his whole body. His arms stretched wide and his left hand nearly slapped you in your face.

    You smacked his arm. "CONNIE ! Do you want me to crash this van ?!"

    Connie laughs, "Sorry damn. We've just been in this car for so damn long."

    "Well we're five minutes away. You'll be okay."

   ♪ 

    "Alright babies, we're here," you say in a sing song voice. The car was still silent. You turn around and everyone (except Armin) was still fast asleep. You turn up the trap song that was playing on the car's speakers, to its loudest volume. This made everybody jolt awake. That is, everyone except Mikasa, who's head still rested on Jean's lap.

    You suck your teeth. "Mmcht. Jean tap her awake for me." Jean softly tapped Mikasa on the top of her head. She woke right up.

"We're here already ?" Eren says looking out the window, still trying to get his eyes to adjust.

"No obviously, she woke us all up for shits and giggles. Are you that dumb Jaeger?" Jean turned his head to face Eren, which caused Eren's face to scrunch up.

"Shut up you horse faced bitch." Eren snaps. Jean raises up out of his seat and tries to grab Eren from the back seat but Mikasa, with tired eyes, simply places her hand, delicately, on Jean's shoulder. Jean nearly melted at her touch. He quickly flipped off Eren and sat back in his seat.

"There's this food truck that has Spanish food right near the beach. It's like a five minute walk," you say, as everybody begins to unfasten their seatbelts and step out of the car. Once everyone was out, you walked to the trunk of your car, opened it, and grabbed a big picnic blanket, your smoking kit, and your speaker and place it all in a bag. Then, you all began to walk towards where the GPS was directing you to go. After a few wrong turns, that turned the five minute walk to a twenty minute walk, you guys arrived at the food truck.

"Hola, cómo puedo ayudarlos ?" the cashier asked

You weren't expecting them to only speak spanish but this wasn't a problem for you. You turned around to face your friends and asked them what they wanted. After they told you, you ordered their food and what you wanted. Shortly after, you all split the cost and waited on the side of the truck for your food.

"Since when did you learn how to speak Spanish ?" Armin questioned.

"One of my hair clients is a Dominican woman and she likes to speak Spanish instead of english. So, she taught me a little some some and I learned the rest on my own." You felt a pair of eyes staring at you. You turn and lock eyes with Connie, who stood staring at you with a smirk on his face. "What ?" you ask as your lips curve into a smile that revealed your straight, pearly whites.

"Nothing. You should start speaking Spanish more though, I like it." You roll your eyes playfully in response.

After a few more minutes of waiting, your food was ready. You sent the boys to get the food and drinks, while you, Mikasa, and Sasha waited. There were plenty of picnic tables to sit at outside of the food truck but you all had your hearts set on eating on the beach.

"So (y/n).." Mikasa and Sasha begin to slide closer to you.

"Yes my dears," you responded.

"Are you finally going to tell Connie how you feel ?" Mikasa asked you, leaning her head on your shoulder. Sasha cuffed both of her arms onto your arm, on the opposite side of where Mikasa was. They both batted their eyelashes, looking up at you, silently teasing you.

"No and I don't plan on it anytime soon. Move up off me." You waved your hands, shooing them away. The boys made their ways back to you. Connie was holding two bags worth of food, Armin was holding one bag, and Eren and Jean were holding your drinks in their hands. You all begin to walk on the beach, that neighbored where you guys were.

You guys decided that you wanted to sit close to the shoreline, but far enough so that water doesn't soak your blanket. You, Mikasa, and Sasha laid the blanket on the moist sand so that the boys had somewhere to put the food. You then connected to your speaker and played some 90s r&b that fit the moment.

As soon as everyone was situated, you all got your food from the bags and began to dig in. You had ordered birria tacos with a side of rice and beans. The savory aroma filled your nostrils. It was intoxicating. You picked up the taco and dipped it into the birria sauce that they gave to you in a styrofoam container. As soon as you took the first bite, a plethora of flavors filled your body and warmed you right up. "This shit bussin," you say with food in your mouth, slightly throwing your head back.

You look over at Sasha who was going absolutely feral on her food. She ordered the same thing you did but the way she ate it was different from how you were. That girl really loved food. Instead of dipping the taco into the sauce, she poured the sauce directly on top, drenching the taco, with it running down her fingers. In no time flat, she guzzled down all the tacos and began to lick her fingers and part of her arm.

"Damn Sasha is it that good?" Eren's faced turned with an expression of slight disgust. All Sasha did was nod as she continued to lick the sauce.

Eventually, you all finished your meals. "Yo let's spark up." You pull out your smoking kit and take out a baggie of weed, rolling papers, a grinder, and a lighter. You begin to crush up the weed nuggets until they became green flakes. Then one by one, you rolled everyone their own personal joint and passed them around. You then passed your lighter in a circle allowing everyone to light their joint. Before they take a hit, you stop them. "Okay before we smoke, here' s a toast to our dreams coming true. Love you niggas to death." You hold up your blunt in which everyone follows you by holding up their blunt to meet yours, pretty much doing an alternative 'cheers'. You all say cheers and take the first hit of your spliffs.

♪

Soon enough you were all pretty high. You all laid on the blanket, looking up at the stars that began to appear in the transitioning night sky. Sasha was in a food coma, Jean and Eren were arguing wether or not which constellation was which, and Mikasa and Armin were closer to the water seeing which night time marine creatures would come to the surface. As you were watching the waves, that glowed in the moonlight, softly crash onto the shore, you feel Connie tap your shoulder. You let of a soft mhm in response. You feel his body next to you begin to get up. He steps in front of you and holds out his hands. "Let's take a walk real quick."

You put each hand into each of his hands and he pulls you up off of the, now sandy, blanket. When you get up, he lets go and begins to walk forward, along the shoreline. Connie kept his hands that were filled with tattoos and rings, in his pockets . The only sound that surrounded you guys were the waves meeting the shore and the music from your speaker, that was slowly fading with every step. Suddenly Connie stops, which causes you to pause next to him.

"Everything okay, Con ?" you ask.

"Yeah. Just wanted to get some alone time with you while I still can." Connie steps closer to the water ,making his feet touch the water and sits down in the wet sand, feeling the bottom half of his body slowly getting wet.

"Stop talking like that." You sit down next to him.

"Like what ?"

"Like we're never going to see each other again. You might be gone for a while but it's all good. Everything will be the way you left it when you come back."

(Play the song now👩🏽‍💻)

"I'm going to be all over the world soon and what if we stop talking after a while (y/n). I like talking to you, like a lot."

You lean your head on top of Connie's shoulder and hold his arm. "Then you just have to make sure you remember me. Don't be acting like you don't know anybody. I expect a song wrote about me and to be invited to every award show," you joked. Connie let out a small laugh.

He let a moment of silence pass before he talked again. "Okay so if I give you a song, you have to name a haircut after me."

"Deal. You'll miss me revealing it during the grand opening though."

"Girl, Facetime is still a thing. But seriously though (y/n). I could never forget about you even if I tried."

"I'm just that great huh?"

"Yeah, you are." You and Connie sat there for what felt like an eternity under the stars. You begin to shiver slightly as you realize how wet your clothes got underneath you.

"Damn I'm all wet," you say.

Connie straightens his posture and looks over at you with a devilish grin beginning to grow on your face. "Oh , I bet I can make you even more wet."

You furrowed your eyebrows at him. Before you get to ask him what he meant, he scooped you up and carried you bridal style. He began to run into the cold water, going deeper and deeper in. "CONNIE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU. IT'S COLD," you scream in between laughs.

"SORRY WHAT I CAN'T HEAR YOU."

"CONNIE I'M BEING DEAD ASS PUT ME ON THE SHORE RIGHT NOW."

Connie rolled his eyes and threw you over his shoulders. "Fine, you big baby." He not only carries you to shore but he carries you all the way back to the blanket where all of your friends were. "Alright guys, it's about that time to hit the road." Connie kept you over his shoulders as you all begin to walk back to your van.

"What the hell happened to you guys," Eren asked carrying the sand filled blanket and an unconscious Sasha in his arms.

"Connie tried to drown me."

You all reached the car. Connie opened the van door and placed your soaking wet body in the passenger seat. As everyone else began to fill the car, he walked over to the driver's side. You crossed your arms and looked at him as he sat in the driver's seat, entering the keys into the car. "What do you think you're doing ?"

"What does it look like I'm driving the van. Fuck it's cold," he hisses and begins to shiver in his seat, as he starts to drive off.

You could admit it was freezing and the last thing you needed was either of you getting sick. You begin to slip off your green tube dress leaving you in your sports bra and underwear. Luckily, you were covered by the blanket. You turn to Connie, "Take your shirt and your pants off, you don't need to get sick."

"I think you just want to see me naked but I will." Connie quickly pulls over on the side of the road and strips out of his wet clothes. He puts them on the floor next to your feet. Connie goes back on the road and continues to drive his sleeping passengers home.

Before drifting off to sleep, you notice that Connie looked as if he was clenching his body to keep himself warm. You let out a small sigh and scoot your body next to him, covering his lower half with some of your blanket. You then laid your head onto his lap and drifted to sleep.

♪

You and the rest of the girls were fast asleep by the time Connie reached your house. He wrapped you up in your blanket and carried you into the house, followed by Armin, who was now carrying Sasha, Jean, who was holding Mikasa, and Eren.

They laid you guys down on the couch and covered you three with throw blankets that you kept in your living room. When you were placed down, your eyes fluttered open.

"Connie ?"

"Listen, (y/n) I have to go now okay ? I'll text you in the morning when we get on the bus. Imma miss you kid."

Tears slowly swelled up in the corners of your eyes. You pulled him in for one more hug.
"I'll miss you more, Connie."
