Relationship with SuperM
Tumblr media
➣ BAEKHYUN ☾ baekaria
before being thrown into a supergroup together, aria and baekhyun hadn’t really spoken 
they’d seen each other around the building, and aria was an avid supporter of exo so of course she knew who he was but she wasn’t expecting him to know who she was 
so when aria walked into the practice room and was greeted by baekhyun waving her over and calling her name
sue her if she was a little stunned 
their relationship was a little stilted at the beginning
between the age gap, and baekhyun not having a girl member in a group before, it took a few weeks for the two of them to figure out their dynamic and where they fit around each other 
eventually though
they settled into a pretty comfortable situation
baekhyun tries to put her at ease as much as possible 
there is 8 years in the difference, but you’d swear that its less than half 
although he’s playful and generous with the teasing like he is to other members 
he’s careful to avoid certain topics when it comes to aria, just out of respect for her and not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable
this came to fruition after kai unknowingly made a small comment on how aria “must have been hungry”, considering how fast she was eating
baekhyun knew he didn’t mean anything by it, but he watched aria slowly put down her chopsticks and reach for the bottle of water beside her instead
he didn’t see her eat for the rest of the evening
did kai get in trouble? no but he did get hit lightly over the head
when aria does something cool - like a spin or a trick - baekhyun is the first to say “that’s my child. i raised her, look how well i taught her” 
ten: “heY-”
tldr: although they’re not the closest, aria’s slowly grown more comfortable around him, and he’s looking out for her all the time 
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.
200829 Knowing Brothers: when baekhyun brought up the members of superm all showering together to get closer quickly, heechul quickly pounced on aria - the girl slowly moving to put her head in her hands. 
“and where was aria during all of this? don’t tell me you brought her to?”
baekhyun: “well of course we did-” 
aria: “NO I STAYED OUTSIDE HE’S A LIAR DON’T LISTEN TO HIM!”
*cue baekhyun laughing his ass off*
Tumblr media
➣ TAEMIN ☾ arimin
aria thought she was going to die
there was absolutely no plausible reason that she should be in a group with The Taemin
he was highkey the reason why she had even accepted her position in sm at the very beginning of her training
this man convinced a fifteen year old to give up the sport she’d been doing her entire life 
his impact  (*¯ ³¯*)♡
please stand by while aria tosses herself off a bridge
she was So Formal at the beginning
he honestly was the member she took the longest time to warm up to - because she had idolized him for so long
will still refer to him as taemin-ssi occasionally, but now its less a formality and more of a tease
this boy was shook when he found out how young aria was - mark and lucas he can deal with because at least they’re 1999, but aria....
“2000??? 2000?” 
he said :O
despite their rocky start, they’re quite comfortable around each other, especially after spending a few nights rooming together over the tour
does aria still look for his validation in a lot of her work? yes, but she’s more open about asking for it now then she would have been 
taemin definitely doesn’t have a favourite kid and it’s definitely not aria no why would you think that
aria really out here collecting parents like pokémon 
gotta catch em all~
he looks out for her a lot during their schedules, mainly because he knows what its like to be the youngest in a group and how it can feel a little like you don’t really have a place there
so he always makes sure to include her where possible 
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.
sitting in a circle in a waiting room while mark toy-ed around with the guitar in his lap, aria sat curled in the corner, humming lightly to herself as taemin sang softly along with mark playing “view”.
quietly, she began to sing soft backing harmonies along with taemin, her eyes still attached to her phone in her hands.
when she felt the device being tugged out of her hands and her being pulled upright by another hand on her arm, she looked up to see taemin smiling brightly, still singing 
cue the impromptu concert of a lifetime: with god tier vocals
Tumblr media
➣ KAI ☾ kairia
so, they met
and kai just kinda went: mine.
and that was that really 
its like a puppy refusing to give up its favourite chew toy 
“nooo but its my turn to room with aria :(”
never really did the whole awkward, getting to know each other phase? 
not that aria had any real say in it
but jongin point blank refused to engage in small talk with her
so they ended up spending their nights on the superm tour talking about stuff ranging from why the sky is blue to why aria stopped ice skating
she started crying and he did not handle it well, bless him
although he’s super chill and fun to be around
he’s also the only non-nct member that seriously scolds her 
when he found her in a practice room lying on the ground (she was Resting, thank you very much) at three in the morning, he dragged her out without a word and brought her back to her dorms in silence 
aria knew he was mad at her, but she thought it was because he had to borderline carry her four blocks down to the nct dorms 
“no you idiot, im angry because you thought that instead of coming to one of us for help with the bits you’re struggling with, you figured hey. let’s pass out instead.” 
he’s so affectionate with her
you know how lucas and kai have Intense Brothers Energy
well aria has that, little sister vibe that makes kai want to wrap her in a blanket and carry her everywhere
she’d hate that, if he tried that she’d scream (he did try that, this is coming from past experience)
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.
kai chucking aria like a cannon ball into the pool during the filming of mtopia when she refused his hugs.
“oppa, oppa no im sorry ill give you all the hugs you want, oppa, JONGIN-OPPA NO NO NO NO -”
*sploosh*
Tumblr media
➣ TAEYONG ☾ ariyong
taeyong took one look at aria the first time she showed up for group practice and immediately adopted her (not literally but he would if he could)
eomma meets highly protective brother meets life coach type beat?
so so soft for her its sickening 
says he doesn’t have favourites and will then spend an hour cooking for aria because she’s been in the studio the whole day and he knows she hasn’t eaten yet
when aria was given a duet to do for the sm stages, she had to pick another member to do it with and her first choice was taeyong 
she always has said that taeyong is one of the pillars keeping her upright and sane - without him she wasn’t sure if she would have been able to complete her training 
because of all the schedules they share together, if aria isn’t rooming with mark then she’s definitely rooming with taeyong
whenever she does his makeup (more often than you’d think) she point blank refuses to cover his scar, even when he asks her to do so
“please? i don’t like it.” “*gasp* how dare you.”
sleepy aria! snuggling into taeyong’s shoulder when a schedule ran late!
he gets uncomfy when the stylists put her in too revealing clothes, and has spoken to them on numerous occasions about dressing her in age-appropriate attire, no matter how “sexy” the concept might be
he keeps little bags of sugar-dusted strawberry sweets in his bag incase she forgets to eat and feels faint after the last time (they used to be blueberry flavoured but he heard donghyuck throwing out any and all “blueberry-contaminated” food one evening)
taeyong doesn’t tolerate hate towards aria, especially in person, so he always makes sure to sit down the line from her so that he can see when people skip her intentionally 
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 
taeyong had just been awarded the single bedroom on the last night of the mtopia series, and was staring off into the corner looking rather uncomfortable. aria, who was meant to be rooming with baekhyun, looked over and saw his mouth curled downwards slightly. 
“baekhyun-oppa, is it ok if i room with taeyongie-oppa tonight? i ran out of my tablets, and he has some in his bag..”
baekhyun looked down at her with a small smile and agreed, while the edited captions on the video appeared with the words, “a cute maknae asking to room with a younger member..”
Tumblr media
➣ TEN ☾ tenaria
Whipped™
so so gone for her its upsetting actually
yangyang and aria share the position of his baby
except aria willingly accepts the title while yangyang would rather fling himself from a rooftop
ten’s instagram is half his cats, half miyazu aria
he posts her dancing practice on his story a lot, with a variety of captions ranging from “thats my baby  ♡( ◡‿◡ )” to “yah that’s not right…(눈_눈)”
such an enabler for her bad ideas
aria wants to go shopping at 4am? ten agrees, now they’re sitting by han river eating ice cream
pls he’s gonna get her in so much trouble one day
when they walk together, ten likes to take her hand and put it in his pocket
its under the pretense of not wanting her to get lost
he just wants to hold her hand
yes he has lost her in a shopping mall, and NO it wasn’t his fault
ten always complains that they never have schedules together and he misses his baby
“we have superm-” “I NEVER SEE YOUUUU (ノಥ益ಥ)ノ”
if they’re in the same room ten is either watching her out of the corner of his eye, or is actually wrapped around her like a boa constrictor
hugs n kithes all around
only he is allowed make fun of her mistakes in dancing
anyone else gets deaded. he will fight for her honor how dare you insult his baby
sm give these ttwo a dancing duo video pls
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.
the first and only time aria and ten had a duet was during their last concert on superm’s first world tour. during the second half of ten’s solo performance, aria emerged from the left side of the stage, coming to join him in the centre stage. no one had ever seen aria as serious as she was then, both herself and ten becoming completely different people in the moment. midway through, aria spun with her back to ten and leaped backwards into the air - eyes closed - completely trusting ten to be where she needed him to be to catch her.
Tumblr media
➣ LUCAS ☾ arihei
besties
please they’re so cute together - tol child next to tini child she barely comes up to his chest :(
bear hugs
he just swamps her in his arms, and when he doesn’t feel like being bent over he picks her up
complains that she’s too heavy but then immediately after will throw her around like a softball
someone tell this man to be careful with her she’s not a barbie doll
singular braincell energy
don’t get it wrong, they’re both super smart
so it’s just - being smort together, but then nearly dying because neither of them remembered that you couldn’t eat raw cookie dough when there are eggs in it
she adores how he’s so confident in the things that he does - like convincing the entire nct fandom that he was fluent in english? king behaviour
so aria looks up to him (literally) but also because she wants to have that confidence some day
lucas says they’re not close and then aria pouts and he takes it all back
nczennies made a 14 minute compilation titled “lucas melting like a popsicle in australia for aria”
and literally what the title tells you, this man goes :(( when he sees her
lucas was actually the person to convince her to go ahead with the [redacted] proposal - and reminded her that it was too good an opportunity to pass up just because she felt like she was outgrowing the boys
he’s so proud of her
and she’s so proud of him
they’re so proud of each other and it makes nczennies want to cry because they never are seen together
sm stop separating the platonic soulmates first markhyuck and now arihei smh
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.
during a photoshoot, aria was standing off to the side of the boys, dressed in white suit to contrast the boys’ black ones. the photographer was calling out to her to get her to move closer, but she couldn’t hear him from so far away, and so lucas (who was on the end) just walked over to her, gripped her by the biceps and lifted her vertically and to the left a little bit. 
“luc-LUCAS?”
“you had to move :)”
Tumblr media
➣ MARK ☾ mari
½ of the best friend crew
honestly at the beginning, mark and aria weren’t very close, having only really seen each other in passing or with johnny
but after being dropped into training together the two quickly became fast friends, and now they’re borderline inseparable
you thought you knew pain? watch aria’s reaction to mark’s graduation from dream :)
mark’s the reason why aria felt confident enough to pitch some of her lyric ideas to the team, after staying up until 4am to help her make some edits so she was as confident as possible
kinda just, rests his head on her shoulder? and wraps his arms around her waist when he’s tired
mari being confused in foreigner: ???
aria said once in a vlive that she finds mark really comforting to be around - when she feels stressed or worried about something she’ll go to mark’s room and just sit on his bed for a while
aria is so close with his parents - “ahh, how’s my favourite child” “i’m doing great mom.” “no not you, how’s aria?” “wh-hu-MOM?”
you’d swear sometimes mark is younger than her, considering the pout he puts on and how much he whines when they’re not on the same team together for promotions
mark big protecc boi but also little small cuddly boi
they’re so soft for each other ( ╥ω╥ )
in one of the fancams for mark’s solo stage during superm, someone zoomed into aria singing along with him in the wings and dancing to herself with the Proudest Smile™
he’s! so! proud! of! her! constantly! she could be walking and he’d be like “omg get it”
when aria refuses to get up and make herself food (this happens way too often, she just gets into the groove of her work and doesn’t want to move) mark gets her to by threatening to do it himself
consistently caught by czennies just standing behind her and holding her hand in crowded areas - airports, waiting rooms, etc.
FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.
mark and aria were standing off to one side as the mc explained the rules of the game they were about to be playing. mark looked totally confused, and elbowed aria in her side before looking down and mouthing “what?” to her. aria opened her mouth, before closing it and looking down at the ground, muttering to herself, “결합… 結合….. le chéile…. le… le.. oh oh - combined! we have to put them together, markie.”
and thus, a new confusion meme was born

Myrtle Beach || DJ & Parker
TAGGING: @notpeterxparker @itsdjjones
DATE: weekend 5/1 - 6/4
PLACE: Myrtle Beach, North Carolina
NOTES: Parker finds out about her sister and DJ spends the day distracting her from real life.
Parker didn't leave her spot on the couch when she found out about there being another Fabray and she couldn't process it. The trip had been great so far, so she didnt want this to put a damper on the mood for DJ. So she sat there, played with PJ and clicked through the channels, but she couldnt help think about the person she was talking to about fighting and wasn't for sure if she was her sister or not. She let out a breath when PJ brought back his toy and started to play tug-of-war with him.
DJ hated seeing Parker so down. He knew it was a confusing situation for her and he couldn't imagine that happened to him. He was in the kitchen of the hotel room making some coffee while Parker sat on the couch. It was a lazy day today before they went out, figuring Parker needed to relax a bit before they did anything else. He brought two cups of coffee with him to the couch and sat down next to her, handing her a cup. "You wanna talk about it?" He asked. DJ didn't push but he wanted to make sure she was okay.
Parker nodded as she dropped the toy and gotten more comfortable before she grabbed the coffee from him. "Thank you and I'm just, so confused and I don't know what to think besides why didnt my mom tell me when she reconnected to me?" She asked before she took a sip carefully and placed it onto the table. "Like, yeah would've been shocked but at least I wouldn't be this confused and I don't know what to do. Do I cry? Or do I just be content with the fact I have another sister."
DJ shrugged. "I don't know." DJ paused for a minute trying to figure out what to say. "It's ideal the way you found out but it's better than being in the dark forever. You're family just expanded and maybe you just have to be open to it, and not dwell on the how you found out you know?" He took a sip of coffee. "I dont think you have to be content with anything. You can cry you can be angry, your feelings are valid whatever they may be. It's gonna take time to be okay about it all I'm sure."
Parker rubbed the corner of her eye as he spoke, nodded as she leaned against the wall and knew that he was right. "Yeah, that's true." She chewed on her lower lip as she thought about what was going to happen now and how the dynamic was going to change. "Its going to be a while until I am fine again and not be shock about it." She looked at him. "That's pretty much it, Im shock but not to the point that Im angry about the fact that I have another sister, but Im angry at the fact that I had found out that way."
DJ "And that's okay" DJ nodded understanding when she spoke. He opened his arms for her and pulled her in close. "I know babe" he said softly and kissed the top of her head. "You'll be okay and everything will work out fine, I just know it." DJ held her in his arms in silence for a long while. He just wanted to be here for her no matter what.
Parker wrapped her arms around him as she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes when she felt him kiss her head. "Thank you babe." She whispered as she relaxed his hold. She felt PJ rest her head on her leg, that made her glanced down and smiled at the puppy.
DJ finally broke the silence. "I know you think you ruined the vacation but you didn't" he said. "Honestly it's probably the best time to find out because know we just have a load of fun things to do to distract you" DJ patted PJ on the belly. "It's that right girl?" She perked up and barked, jumping down from the couch. DJ laughed and shook his head. "She's so hyper all the time. How can you not love that face?" He smiled.
Parker glanced up at him, nodded slightly. "That's true." She agreed and ran a hand over PJ's head, smiled when she barked and nodded as she watched their dog. "She is, I love it and I have no idea, though Im glad that I don't have to find out. Im glad that we found a pet friendly hotel. I couldnt stand leaving her back home, alone."
DJ smiled. "Me too. I mean we just got her. I would not trust the guys to take care of her" he laughed. DJ looked down at Parker and smiled slightly. He licked his lips and looked away. "So what are we doing today?" he asked, wanting to change the subject for her and get her mind off her sister. Anything else but what was going on back home. This was vacation. It was supposed to wisp you away from your problems.
Parker laughed when she heard him. "Exactly." She replied before she glanced back up at him and glanced down at his lips before she glanced away. "Well, I say we should check out the board walk and if we don't find anything there, then make our adventure?" She suggested. She was looking forward to forget about her problem until they get back.
DJ nodded. "Sounds about right. Epic Adventures of Parker and DJ." he chuckled and smiled. "We could have our own tv show. We'd be so entertaining" He nudged her playfully. "So you know I'm gonna make you ride that ferris wheel right?" He gasped excitedly. "We should do it at night so the boardwalk looks really cool and lit up. I bet its beautiful"
Parker smiled as he spoke and nodded with a giggle. "We would be, yeah." She agreed and sat up with a grin on her face. "Can we? That way I can take a bunch of pictures and enjoy it with you even more? Im sure its beautiful."
DJ "We can do anything you want Parks" He squeezed her once more before standing up, PJ following him as he walked to the kitchen to put away his cup. "I'm ready to go when you are. We can walk the boardwalk and shop at the little places there, grab something to eat maybe?" He suggested. DJ walked to the table by their bed. They had opted for a one bed room because it was cheaper and well they had slept in the same bed many times before so it wasn't that crazy. It probably would have been more weird if they got two beds. He slipped on his watch and stuck his wallet in his front pocket, getting ready to go.
Parker smiled when he squeezed her again and stood up as well. She drank her coffee as she headed into the kitchen, swallowed it and glanced over at her. "I am ready to go and sounds like the perfect plan." She made sure that PJ had enough water along with food and glanced at him. "Hey, do you think we should take PJ with us or should we leave her here?" She leaned against the counter as she looked at him and scratched her cheek.
DJ paused for a moment and looked from Parker to their dog. "We can take her out to the beach tonight when we come back so she's not stuck in here all day. I kinda wanna just be us though. She's a handful." As he speaks PJ sits there starring up at the two of them wagging her tail. She really settled in quickly with them for sure, thank goodness.
Parker nodded as she agreed. "Sounds good and okay. She is." She replied as she bent down and petted the dog. "We'll take you with us later, I promise." She talked to her and kissed her head before she stood up then slipped on her shoes as she slipped on her purse. "Are you ready then?"
DJ "Yup, I'm ready. Let's go." After making their way outside and to the boardwalk they stepped in time hand in hand and DJ's stomach as already growling. "Okay food and then shopping?" he suggested as he looked around for a place to eat. Spotting a pancake place he paused and looked at Parker with his eyebrows raised. "I mean...come on. We have to go there right?" He asked with his shoulders raised and head tilted to one said. "Come on Parks, we can get pancakes as tall as you" He teased her.
Parker glanced where he was talking about, nodded in agreement and laughed when she heard him. "Then, what are we waiting for, hm? Let's go." She replied as she started to led him towards the place and glanced back at him before she glanced back ahead. "I want to see you eat pancakes that are tall as me."
DJ When Parker glanced back at him he smiled in her direction. He couldn't help but stare for a moment. For some reason since she had moved in, he noticed her more. Noticed her body language and the little things that he never paid much attention to before. He snapped out of it when she spoke and he smiled wider, catching up to her and poking her sides. "I could if I wanted to...I might explode though" he laughed. "Even if you are a shorty" He smirked and opened his mouth, walking backwards in front of her for a moment as if he was daring her to chase after him after that remark.
Parker let out a laugh when he poked her sides. "Aw, Im sure you won't explode." She replied with a pout and raised an eyebrow when she heard that remark. "Oh really?" She watched him walking backwards with his mouth open and started to chase after him before she slowed down. "Its not my fault that you're a giant."
DJ turned around and ran a bit and slowed down as she caught up. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her in close. "Yeah but then who would cuddle with you as good as I do if I wasn't this tall?" He asked his eyebrow raised. DJ didn't like thinking about Parker with other people. It wasn't that he was jealous. He knew she could do whatever she wanted. But somehow she felt like his. No one knew her like he did. Who could appreciate her more than him? They walked into the pancake diner and was seated by the hostess. The diner was set up like the 50's with red and white booths and black and white checkered floors. There was even a jukebox on the other side of the room.
Parker couldn't but help grin when he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. "That's true, and I don't think I would cuddle anyone who wasn't you." She replied as she wrapped her arms around him and looked at him. She knew that they weren't dating, but whenever she thought about him being with someone else,it made her feel uneasy. She wasn't possessive, but she felt like he was hers. He knew her like she knew him, better than anyone. She was grateful for him and wanted to make sure he felt appreciated. "This is cute." She took in the restaurant, smiled a bit when she noticed the jukebox. "I wonder if the jukebox still works."
DJ turned around in his seat when she wondered about the jukebox. He moved back to his position, facing her in the booth. "You should go try it. I wonder what music they have on it. Probably old stuff huh?" He nodded for her to go look as he looked at the menu. "What do you want to drink?" he asked, just in case she wasn't back at the table when their waiter came around.
Parker pulled out her coin purse and nodded. "Probably, any artist you would like to hear?" She asked as she stood up and placed her purse on her seat. She hummed a bit. "Iced Tea with a lemon." She answered before she kissed his cheek.
DJ "Surprise me" he smiled and nodded at her response. He smiled to himself as she kissed his cheek and walked off. He turned slightly to watch her walk behind her and he he felt his heart swell a little. "iced tea with lemon" he said to himself. The waitress came and ordered they drinks, DJ getting a favorite of his, chocolate milk. Especially good with pancakes. He looked at the menu as he waited for Parker to come back to the table.
Parker nodded as she walked towards the jukebox and did a small fist bump when she noticed that it still works. She selected Tutti Frutti by Little Richard after she placed her quarters in and started to dance a bit as she headed towards back to DJ. She placed her coin purse back into her bag, sat down and glanced down at the menu.
DJ smiled as he recognized the song she chose. "So lots of oldies yeah?" he asked as she sat back down. "I never understood this song though. I mean what does Tutti Frutti mean because a flavor of jelly beans?" he laughed. "Love it though. Also now I really just want jelly beans." He frowned and shook his head. "I think I'm gonna get the endless pancakes because why not right?" He set his menu down. "What about you?"
Parker smiled when she heard him. "Yeah, which Im happy because usually they fill them up with newer music." She replied and looked at him as he spoke before she nodded. "I have no idea, all I know is that I had a shirt when I was little with Tutti Frutti saying on it." She brushed some of her hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "Same and I have jelly beans back at the room." She chewed on her cheek. "I think Im going to go with two eggs, bacon, pancakes and hash browns." She answered as she placed her menu on top of his.
DJ "You would have a shirt that says that" he laughed. "I feel like you'd <i>still</i> have a shirt that says tutti frutti." DJ smiled at her as she moved her pink hair out of her face. Parker was more wild than DJ. At least the DJ he was now. He was much more rebellious his high school days. "Sounds good to me" They order and not long after their food was there. DJ kept asking for short stacks of pancakes and after his third round he was way too full to even finish. "I'm pretty sure I didn't even eat pancakes as tall as Pajamas, much less you" he laughed. When they got the check he pulled out his wallet insisting that he paid.
Parker laughed. "What can I say? I like Little Richard and you do? I guess I have to go and find it when we get home." She had been wanting to tell him that she had been thinking about dying her hair back to blonde, but with having another Fabray running around, it would be a good idea to keep the pink hair. "Great." She finished her food, feeling full and laughed a bit when she heard him. "You almost did." She started to pull out her wallet but then placed it back into her bag as she heard Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers, from another film she had loved when she was little. She started to hum along with the lyrics.
DJ glanced at her and smiled to himself as he put some cash on the table. "Come on, lets go explore the rest of this place." he smiled. DJ stood up and took her hand as they left the diner. He was stuffed and quite tired as they left but the hotness of the sun beating down on them made it feel nice and he was ready for the rest of the day with her. "I told Emilia I'd bring her back a present but I have no idea what to get her. I was thinking like sand or seashells from the beach. Is that too boring though?" He asked her.
Parker rested her head on his shoulder as she fell asleep and lifted her head off of his shoulder as he spoke. She felt a small stung when she heard her friend's name, knowing that they were friends before they were. "I feel like, maybe sand and seashells?" She replied as she looked at him. She hummed a bit as she looked at everyone's looks, not caring about it since she was used to getting them. "That way, its both and the seashells can decorate the sand a bit."
DJ "Wow I totally didn't think about that, you're so smart!" he said sarcastically, but mostly just teasing her. "I bet we can find something like that in one of these shops." he smiled down at her. "That one has clothes, you wanna go in there?" he asked pointing to a shop as their walking slowed a bit.
Parker "Thats why you keep me around." She replied to his sarcasm and nodded as she agreed. She glanced in there, glanced up at him. "Yeah, matter as well right?"
DJ followed her into the store and he was overwhelmed by the smell of vintage clothing. He followed Parker around the store letting her shop as much as she wanted. Honestly he just wanted to distract her, hoping that this was helping, being out and doing fun things.
Parker glanced at the clothes as she pursed her lips a bit and grabbed a few shirts, knowing that they would fit. She grabbed a pair of sunglasses, looked at herself in them and glanced over at DJ. She was thankful for him,actually beyond thankful for him and knew that things were slightly different now. She couldnt put her finger on it, but she figured it wasn't something big.
DJ looked at her and smiled as she tried on the sunglasses. "Cute" he said, trying to be a good shopping buddy when really he wasnt. Not when it came to clothes for girls. Now suit and tie, DJ would be all about that. He loved dressing up fancy. "What did you pick out?" he asked wanting her to show him the shirts she grabbed.
Parker smiled before she took off the sunglasses. "Well," She started to say as she placed the sunglasses onto the counter top. "One of them is a band tee," She showed him before she grabbed the other one. "This one I figured it's nice enough that I can wear to an interview and this one." She glanced at the next one, liked the design of it and showed it to him. "I can wear with anything really but there's a dress that I have my eye on. So, I'll go and get that then we can leave."
DJ nodded. "You're not gonna try any of these on?" he asked. DJ looked through the shirts again that her took from her to hold. I mean honestly who wouldn't think these two were a couple. For all intense and purposes they were. DJ thought about that for a moment when the store clerk eyed the two of them and gave DJ a thumbs up. He frowned. What it would be like to actually date Parker, to kiss her and more. He swallowed and shook away the thought.
Parker nodded. "Yeah, I can." She replied as he looked through the shirts again and took them from her. "I'll make sure to do a fashion runway for you." She smiled as she walked towards the dress, grabbed it and glanced back at DJ. She couldn't but think if they decided to date, it wouldn't change anything except for kissing and more. She licked her lips as she headed towards him, took the shirts from him and followed one of the store clerks to the changing room.
DJ watched her walk towards the changing room and he moved to lean against the counter, loosing his balance a bit as he did and tripping over himself. He looked around and composed himself quickly. DJ walked towards the changing room to sit down and wait for her. What was going on with him? This was Parker he was thinking about!
Parker glanced over her shoulder and gave him a smile before she glanced ahead. She thanked the store clerk once she reached a dressing room, closed it and locked it behind her. She slipped off her shirt, grimaced a bit at her bra, knowing that it was the same bra she didnt have an issue with it until now. She furrowed her eyebrows before she slipped on the shirt and let out a breath. She was being ridiculous, yet she couldnt help but think of DJ in that way. "Alright, shirt number one."
DJ looked up as Parker walked out. "I like it!" he said. "But you know I'm gonna say that about ever shirt you come out in right?" he asked her and laughed a bit. DJ looked her up and down and then quickly looked away. "Okay next one!" he smiled at her finally.
Parker nodded with a small laugh. "I know, but still. I like your opinion." She replied and grinned before she turned back around. She slipped off the shirt and grabbed the next one, slipped it on and walked out. "Shirt number two and go."
DJ smiled again as she came out with a different shirt on. "Gorgeous" he said without thinking. But it was true. She was gorgeous and she looked good in anything. He wiped his hands on his shorts as she went to try on the last one. "Did you pick out that dress already?" he asked her from the other side of the dressing room door.
Parker grinned and knew she was blushing. "Thank you handsome." She replied and headed back into the dressing room. "I did, yeah." She tossed the shirt she was wearing off to the side and took off her shorts before she slipped on the dress. She unlocked the door, headed out after she adjusted it and looked at him. "So?"
DJ watched her walk out and it was like it was in slow motion. He didn't say anything for a while and wasn't even smiling. He raised his eyebrows. "Damn" was all he could say, which was a big deal because DJ rarely ever cursed. "You definitely need to buy that. If you don't I'm buying it for you" he said smiling. "You look amazing."
Parker couldnt but help grin before she ducked her head and rubbed the back of her neck. "You think so?" She asked and glanced down at the dress, nodded as she trusted his word. "Thank you."
DJ "I know so" He smiled. "Now lets go buy these things and find some other places to go" he said as he stood and waited for her. DJ went back to the counter and he spun around a carousel of keychains as Parker got dressed.
Parker nodded before she turned around and headed back into the dressing room. She changed back into her clothes, grabbed the clothes she wanted, grabbed her bag and headed to the counter. She smiled when she saw him standing there, placed the clothes onto the counter along with her new sunglasses and pulled out her wallet. She pulled the exact amount, handed it to the cashier, thanked them and looked at him before she slipped on her sunglasses. "Are you ready?"
DJ put his hand out for her to hold. "I was born ready." He laughed. DJ took her hand as they left the store and walked back onto the boardwalk. "I'm really glad we went on this trip." He said looking down at her. "Totally better than being stuck In that apartment but it's been fun with you there. I'm glad you moved in." He said wrapping an arm around her.
Parker took his hand with a smile and nodded with a laugh. "This is true." She agreed. She glanced up at him with a smile, nodded once more. "I am too." She looked up at him before she put her face in his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his torso as she leaned against him. "It is, and I mean. Where would you have endless pancakes in a 50's diner? I am too, really. I love it there and I love the fact that I get to see you in the morning."
DJ "me too." DJ really did love seeing her all the time. He knew that even when they got older they'd still be like this. Maybe it was inevitable that they'd end up together. Dj tried not to read into it too much. "So what else you wanna do?" He asked, arm wrapped around her as they walked. He looked around the boardwalk of things they could do.
Parker glanced around, knowing that she didn't mind whatever they had done. "Well, we can always see if we can make a reservation at a nice restaurant for tonight when we come back?" She suggested as she looked up at him. "Then, we can always go shopping for you if you need to? Or whatever you want to do."
DJ "yeah I need to get presents." He said. "That sounds fun. As soon as it gets dark we'll do down to the Ferris wheel." He smiled at her. They spent the rest of the day shopping and exploring the boardwalk and by the time it got dark Dj was pooped. "I feel like I might need a nap." He laughed. "Were still gonna take pajamas to the beach too yeah? I can wear these cool new trunks I got." He said referring to the swim trunks he bought earlier in the day.
Parker "Of course we are and they're pretty awesome trunks, I have to admit." Parker said with a smile and stretched a bit. "So do you want to take a nap before we head to the beach?" She was a bit tired and wouldnt mind a nap. Since it meant cuddling with DJ, which she had been always looking forward to. "And I know for sure Pajamas wouldnt mind napping with us."
DJ "yeah let's do that." They made their way back to their hotel room and immediately DJ tossed his shirt and fell onto the bed. "I don't think I'm ever gonna move from this spot" he chuckled and patted the bed for pajamas even though it was much too high for the little puppy to jump up. She was very excited to see the two of them when they got back to the room.
Parker slipped off her shoes along with her sunglasses and laughed. "I don't think we're going to get up." She helped pajamas onto the bed and laid down next to them. She petted the dog, kissed the dog and let out a sigh once she relaxed against the bed.
DJ laid with her on the bed in silence and he turned on his side, petting Pajamas in between them. "I wish my bed was as comfy as this one." He nodded. "But then I'd never be productive at all." He laughed. DJ looked at her and smiled. She was so beautiful if he really was honest with himself. How he never hit on her or anything was beyond him. She was too good for him. At least that's what dj thought.
Parker nodded as she agreed and propped her head up with her hand. "Me too, and nope." She laughed and smiled when she looked at him. She never hit on him, sure she flirted with him but knew that he deserved better than someone who strips for a living. Especially after turning his life around.
DJ opened his mouth to speak but then stopped. He rolled over on his back with his hands behind his head. "Can I ask you something?" He asked hoping he wasn't crossing a boundary with her. Dj turned his head to look at her.
Parker raised an eyebrow when he opened up his mouth and closed then rolled over onto his back. "Of course." She answered as she looked at him. "What's on your mind?"
DJ looked back at her. "You think it's weird sometimes when people think we're together?" He asked. "I mean, that guy at the shop practically wanted to give me a high five because he thought we were together." He said. "I mean we've always just been friends but we've always been more than that you know. Best friends." He looked at her not really sure what he was wanting to say.
Parker listened to him, nodded as he spoke and thought to word her words. "I don't think its weird, I mean we do act like a couple and do couple things but its been natural for us to do so." She started to say as she laid onto her side and tucked her arm underneath her head to act like a pillow as she looked at him. "Do you think its weird sometimes?"
DJ looked at her. "I've never really thought much about it." He said. "You're my best friend and I want to be with you always." He took her hand in his. "I just think it's weird that other people thing it's weird... I don't know. No one knows us like we do right?" He smiled. "Would it be so bad if we did end up together?"
Parker interlaced their fingers together mindlessly and nodded. "Right and people close to us doesn't think about it when it comes us." She smiled and shook her head. "I don't see anything bad about ending up with you."
DJ smiled at her. After being in silence for a long time his eyes closed and he fell fast asleep. He ended up pulling her into his arms as they napped.
