𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒛 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒔/𝒐

⇒ listen to fairy by dvwn

sangyeon

“babe”

sangyeon really doesn’t strike me as a person who would have a lot of nicknames for his s/o, but when he does,, wHeW boY does he use it a lot. he probably uses “babe” more than your actual name. the nickname is more on the basic side, but he still loves using it and finds it very endearing.

jacob

“angel”

hhhhhh, where do i even start? this boy is literally the purest. he calls you angel way more than your actual name. he loves this nickname so much because it fits your relationship perfectly. whenever he looks at you all he can think about is how pure and beautiful you are. no matter how you look or what you’re wearing, he still looks at you as if you’re the most gorgeous person he’s ever laid his eyes on.

younghoon

“sweet pea”

this cutie!! the love you two have is like straight from a kdrama. he’s so in love with you it’s not even funny! he loves calling you “sweet pea” because it sounds cute and cliché and he loves the sweet smile you give him whenever he does. he uses that nickname quite often but he doesn’t really use it in front of the members cuz he knows they’ll make fun of him sjkfrkd

hyunjae

“prince(ss)”

ugh,, where do i even begin? this boy is so in love with you. he adores everything you do. he loves that you’re his. his princess. he loves how happy you make him feel 24/7. whenever you’re not giving him enough attention, he’ll whine and cling to you but when he calls you “princess”, you’re all his.

juyeon

“doll”

ok so. tbh, you take one look at this boy and all valid thoughts are out the window. but eSpeCiALlY when he calls you “doll.” the affect this name has on you is unbelievable. and he knows it. he uses this nickname when he wants your attention or needs a favour from you. “hey doll, can you please make some tea?” you’re at his service whenever he uses it.

kevin

“my star”

ITS YOUR MOONLIGHT BOY KEVIN!! no but seriously he honestly uses this name a lot with you because he’s your moon boy. he even called you “my star” or “star girl” when you were just friends because of how much he loved it. he loves the idea of your nicknames for each other being connected and he would even want to introduce you as “his star” but he knows he can’t sjhjsd

chanhee

“jelly bean”

this nickname also came from the time where you and the boys were playing bean boozled. and as you were putting the jelly bean in your mouth you immediately gagged and spit it out. what you thought was coconut flavor was actually spoiled milk. as soon as you spit it out chanhee busted out laughing and he’s called you “jellybean” ever since.

changmin

“sunshine”

you’re his ray of sunshine. periodt. whenever he’s feeling stressed or tired he knows he can always count on you do be there for him to cheer him up. even if you’re not good with comforting words; when he sees your smile, all his all his worries seem to shrink. you often catch him staring at you with the biggest smile on his face when you talk about something you’re passionate about because of the way your whole face beams.

haknyeon

“butterfly”

this nickname is in reference to a date when he took you to a botanical garden and a butterfly landed right on your nose. you let out a little shriek but you didn’t want to scare it so you stood completely still. he quickly whipped out his phone to snap a pic before you scrunched your nose and it flew away. he has that pic as his wallpaper on his phone and constantly calls you “butterfly” reminding him of the moment he fell in love with you.

sunwoo

“precious”

this boy absolutely adores you. and that’s that. he constantly asking himself why he deserves you. he adores you so much and sometimes he doesn’t even think you’re real. even when he’s writing his songs and needs his space, he always knows that you’re a phone call away. you’re always catching him staring at you whether its from across the room or right it his arms. you’re the love of his life.

eric

“peaches”

WHEW,, THIS BOY. he’s absolutely obsessed with calling you “peaches”. your contact in his phone is “my 🍑”. he got the name from how squishy your cheeks are and how every time you get shy from something he says, you smile and your cheeks puff out and turn a light pink. this is also lowkey a reference to your ass but we’ll pretend i didn’t say that.

Pairings: Chris Evans / Charlotte Mackenzie (O/C)

Summary: Saying no leads Charlotte to a friendship she has never imagined.

A/N: I’m trying to force myself to write. Maybe this will light a fire under my ass.... Or my muse’s. She’s a bit flakey.

Chapter 1

Charlie stood in line with her boyfriend Sam as they waited for their photo-op with Chris Evans. They were second to last in line for the last day of the Comic Con they were at. From the excited giggles of the people in front of them, Chris was posing and having some fun.

Sam was clearly excited. He was Marvel obsessed and had spent more money than any sane person should to get photo-ops with every Marvel cast member. Charlie was just along for the ride. It had been a point of contention with Sam that she refused to dress up with him this weekend. She wasn’t a big movie or TV lover outside of old school Disney stuff and she didn’t get into all the hype of celebrity gossip. She was a book lover and you could usually find her curled up with a book in some corner.

She looked over at Sam, dressed as the Winter Solider and bouncing on the balls of his feet. They had been dating a little over six months and this was the first time she had joined him at one of these things. She wasn’t a fan of crowds and it had been absolute hell for her. The whole weekend she had been regretting saying yes.

“Ok, you guys are next.” The attendant said, leading them into the makeshift photo studio. She was grinning from ear to ear like a creepy Cheshire cat.

Sam rushed in first and started gushing at Chris about how excited he was and how much he loved him as Captain America. Charlie patiently waited for him to finish and then shook Chris’ hand when he extended it to her. “It’s nice to meet you.” She said politely.

“I really like your shirt.” Chris said.

She looked down at her blue Little Mermaid T-shirt she was wearing with skinny jeans and black Converse sneakers. “Thanks. It’s one of my favorites.”

“Mine too!”

“So, what are we doing today?” The photographer asked.

“How about this?” Sam asked. Charlie and Chris both turned to look and Sam was down on one knee with a ring held up at Charlie.

“What the actual fuck?” Charlie gasped.

“Charlotte Grace Mackenzie, will you please marry me?”

“Are you crazy? No!”

“Charlie….”

“Get up!”

“I love you.”

“Oh my god!” Charlie turned and stormed out of the photobooth, leaving Chris and Sam to stare after her.

Charlie sat in the hallway of her hotel next to the door of her hotel room a little while later staring straight ahead at the horrible wallpaper in front of her. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. Sam had rushed after her and the two of them had fought about what he had done. He had then left her standing there. When she had finally calmed down, she had gone after him only to find that he had actually taken the car and left her there.

Luckily, they were only three miles from their hotel and she had no problem walking that. She had busted out her cell phone and turned on her GPS to make her way back. When she had gotten there, Sam had left her a note on the door. She looked at the note again, completely flabbergasted that he was such an asshole.

Find your own way home.

They had travelled from Omaha, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois for this Comic Con in his car. She was desperately trying to hold herself together and not panic, but she could feel it working hard to burst down her carefully placed walls. It was why she had curled up in a tight little ball on the floor and hadn’t gone down to see if she could get a key made for her so she could get into the room. If she spoke to anyone, she was sure she would start bawling her eyes out.

“Is everything ok?” A voice said to her left. She looked up to see Chris Evans standing there and he clearly recognized her. “Oh! Hey!”

“Fuck me.” Charlie sighed as the tears started to leak out. This was so not what she needed. She had completely forgotten that Sam had chosen this hotel because it was where some of the celebrities were supposedly staying. Fuck him for being correct.

Chris shifted his weight and glanced around. “Are you ok?”

“Nope.”

“Are you lost?”

“Nope.”

“Can I offer you any help?”

Charlie closed her eyes tightly. “How about a rewind on the last couple of hours of my life?”

Chris chuckled. “Sorry. That’s a little out of my wheelhouse.”

“Mine too.”

“Seriously, are you ok?”

“Not in the slightest.” Chris sat down next to her on the floor. “He fucking left me here. I have absolutely no way of getting home now.” Charlie wiped angrily at her wet cheeks.

“Where’s home?” “Omaha, Nebraska.”

“Shit, that’s a bit of a hike.”

“Little bit.” Charlie shoved her messy, curly, dark copper hair back from her face as the dam cracked further. “Fuck! What the fuck am I going to do now? I can’t even get into the hotel room because that asshat had the key!”

“Come on.” Chris stood back up and held his hand out to her.

“What?”

“You can use my room to breakdown in and then we can call down to the front desk about that key.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“I know I don’t, but I am. Come on.” Chris reached down again and grabbed her hand this time. She allowed him to lift her to her feet and then lead her down the hallway. He opened the door to his suite and Charlie promptly started sobbing.

“I’m sorry.” She wiped at her tears aggressively again with shaking hands as Chris ushered her to the couch and sat down. “This is so embarrassing.”

“Please don’t be embarrassed. Your boyfriend should be the embarrassed one.”

“Ex-boyfriend!” She dropped her face in her hands and shook her head. “I’m not even sure what it is I’m crying about. That fuckwad sure doesn’t deserve my tears.” Chris walked over to the minibar and grabbed two beers. He popped the tops on them and offered her one. “Thank you.”

“Gotta say, I’ve seen a few proposals at those things, but never a reaction like that.”

Charlie looked over and Chris was grinning hopefully at her. It actually made her laugh. “What is my life right now?”

“What do you mean?”

“My entire quiet little world has been on the precipice of exploding, I just got abandoned in an unfamiliar city by the guy I was seeing, and I’m sitting here being comforted by a celebrity who doesn’t even know my name.”

“Right now, I’m not a celebrity. Right now, I’m a good Samaritan who stumbled across a person in need. It would make my mom proud. Well, except that I haven’t properly introduced myself.” Charlie snorted as he held his hand out to her. “I’m Chris.”

“Clearly.”

“And you are….” He wiggled his hand at her and she relented, shaking it.

“Charlotte. Everyone calls me Charlie, though.”

“Pretty. So, Charlie, your life is about to explode? How so?”

“You’re really asking? Like, you really wanna know?”

“I really wanna know.”

She started picking at the label on her beer bottle. “I’m leaving everything I’ve ever known behind and moving to the East Coast in a month. I think that’s why Sam pulled that shit today. He doesn’t want me to leave.”

“Where are you moving to?”

“Boston.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I accepted a job at Little Brown up there.”

“What’s that?”

“A publishing company. It’s been my dream to become a book editor and I’ve been working towards that goal for the last four years. I finally found a company that’s willing to give me a shot at it, but it’s in Boston.”

“That’s pretty awesome.”

“I didn’t even want to come to this thing with him, but I figured I would give him one last good weekend before I broke up with him.”

“You weren’t even going to attempt a long-distance thing?”

“When do those ever work out?”

“I don’t know. I’m a hopeless romantic, though.”

“I’m not.” Charlie set her beer down. “I need to get into my room. See if he left my things or destroyed them. Knowing my luck, he’s set everything on fire.”

“I don’t think he did that. The fire alarms haven’t gone off.”

“Good point.” She pointed at the phone on the desk. “May I?”

“Of course.”

Charlie walked over and picked up the phone, dialing the front desk. “Hi, my name is Charlotte Mackenzie. I got locked out and I need a key to get in.”

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but I don’t see you registered in our system.”

“No. My boyfriend…. Ex-boyfriend made the reservation. It’s under his name. Sam Cooke. Room 828.”

“Mr. Cooke checked out.”

“What?”

“Mr. Cooke checked out a little while ago.”

“But my things are in that room.”

“I’m so sorry about that. Mr. Cooke didn’t mention that there was anything left in the room. We can send a maintenance man up to let you in to get your things.”

“I kind of need a place to stay tonight.”

“We’re completely booked up, but you’re more than welcome to rent that room for yourself.”

“Ok. Yeah. I can do that, I guess. How much is it?”

“For tonight, the room would be $238 plus tax.”

Charlie choked on air and started hacking. Chris came over and patted her on the back, taking the phone from her. “Hi, this is Eric Prince in suite…. Yeah. Look, can you just put that room on my bill? I’m certain. I would appreciate that. Thank you.” He hung up and offered Charlie a bottle of water.

Once her breathing was back to normal, she shot a confused look at Chris. “Eric Prince?”

He shrugged sheepishly. “Prince Eric…. From The Little Mermaid.”

“Oh.” Charlie blinked for a minute. “Did you just pay for my hotel room?”

“I did, yeah. Was that not ok?”

“I mean…. It’s your money, you can do whatever with it, but you don’t even know me.”

“I’m not someone who can just sit here and listen to someone in distress. If I can help, I’m going to help.” There was a knock on the door and Chris went over to answer it. Charlie stayed seated on the couch, sipping at her water. When he came back, he presented her with a key card. “Your room key.”

“Oh. Thank you.” Charlie took it. “I can’t thank you enough for this.”

“It’s no problem. Let me know if you need any more help or someone to hang out with.”

Charlie laughed. “Yeah, like Mr. Big-Shot Needs-A-Fake-Moniker has no one better to hang out with.”

He frowned slightly. “Actually, I don’t have anyone to hang out with. I ditched my team for a quiet night in. Being around all those people all day long…. I need a recharge.”

She nodded. “I understand that. I’m more of an introvert with some extroverted tendencies. When I’ve reached my limit on people, I just need to stay in and hide. Especially if there’s a crowd.”

“Same.” He shifted from one foot to the other. “Would you like to hang out with me, Charlie? We can recharge our batteries, maybe order a pizza, rent a movie….”

“If you’re sure, then ok. I just want to run and make sure he didn’t destroy my stuff.”

“That makes sense.” Chris followed her down the hallway to her room. When she opened the door, she let out an angry groan while he let out a shocked whistle. Her suitcase had been hurled across the room and it’s contents were scattered everywhere. In the bathroom, he had squirted out all of her toothpaste, broken her toothbrush in half, destroyed most of her makeup, ripped the rows of bristles out of her hairbrush, and dumped her expensive curly hair products down the drain.

“No, no, no, no!” Charlie ran over to the suitcase and lifted it up. Her laptop made sounds like little metal pieces were moving around inside. “Fuck!”

“Shit! He actually broke your laptop?”

“What the hell is wrong with that guy?” Charlie started crying again as she held her broken laptop.

“A broken heart is one thing, but this….”

“He can’t have a broken heart. We weren’t together that long!”

“Wait, how long were you two together?”

“Six months. Today was the first time he even said he loved me.”

“Had you said it to him?”

“No!” She looked over at him. “What are you doing?” Chris had started to move around the room and picking her clothes up off the floor.

“Helping.” He started to fold the shirt in his hands.

“You really don’t need to do that.”

“I know I don’t. You really don’t need to be so difficult.”

She sighed. “I’m sorry. This is just a really fucked up situation and I’m not even sure which emotion it is I’m feeling. And I really don’t mean to take it out on you. Thank you for helping me. It’s very kind of you.”

“You’re welcome.”

They worked together to collect her belongings and pile them on the bed. Once they finished, the two of them tackled the bathroom. Chris took pictures of everything and sent them to his assistant with instructions to purchase them and bring them to his room. Charlie stopped when she got to a beautifully ornate compact mirror. It was antique silver with filigree designs carved into it and little jewels set to resemble a starry night sky. A few of the jewels were missing and the glass inside had been broken. She clutched the compact and started to sob.

“Hey….” Chris gently pulled her into a hug.

“This was my mom’s. My dad gave it to her as a wedding present when they got married.”

“It’s beautiful.”

“They died when I was eleven.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“I can’t believe he broke this. He knew it was one of the few things of hers I have left.”

After Charlie had cried herself out, Chris helped her finish cleaning the bathroom and they went back to his room. She curled up on the couch and he sat down on the opposite end. They were quiet for a long moment before he finally broke the silence. “I don’t normally do this.”

“What?”

“Invite strange women to hang out with me.”

“I never said you did.”

“I know, but…. I don’t want you to think that I’m trying to get in your pants or anything.”

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why don’t you want me to think that?”

“I don’t want you to get the wrong impression of me.”

“What do you think my impression of you is?”

“I’m not sure. You’re not like most women I’ve met.”

“How so?” “Well for starters, you ask a lot of questions.” Charlie chuckled. “You’re also like this open book that I can’t read.”

“That’s the most interesting thing anyone has ever said about me. What does that mean?”

“I…. Ok, so you drop these seemingly big clues about your life. You were incredibly vulnerable when you told me that your parents died and you’ve cried in front of me while I get the feeling that you don’t do that in front of people very often if you can help it, but none of those clues lead me any closer to being able to figure you out.”

“Do you want to figure me out?”

“I kind of do.” “Why?”

Chris smirked. “I like to read.”

Charlie and Chris sat on the couch with a half-empty pizza box between them. A pay-per-view movie was playing on the TV, but they weren’t paying attention to it. The two of them had been talking for hours. He found it a welcome relief that she didn’t care about him being a celebrity and that she didn’t know anything about him. It felt great to actually get to know someone.

“I’m really impressed.” Chris said as he looked at the pictures on her phone. “You made out like a bandit on this.”

“I just hope there aren’t any crazy issues I’ll have to fix.” Charlie was showing him the house she had bought sight-unseen at an auction. It was a two story Colonial house in Concord.

“You realize we’re practically neighbors?”

“Are we?”

“Yeah. I just bought a house about two miles away from here.”

“That’s weird.”

“Are you sure you’re not stalking me?”

She laughed. “Trust me, I don’t give two shits about your celebrity status. Unless you wrote a book. Then watch out.”

Chris handed her back her phone. “The commute to Boston might be crazy.”

Charlie shrugged. “I don’t mind. There’s a train station and all the research I’ve done says it’s about an hour commute.”

“It is. You’re going to love Concord.”

“Where did you say you grew up again?” “Sudbury.”

“Gotcha.”

“So, Mac, what made you want to uproot your life like this?”

Charlie laughed at the nickname he’d chosen. She usually hated it when people tried to call her that, but for some reason Chris made it sound endearing. “You really want to open that can of worms?”

“I really do.”

“Ok.” She took a deep breath. “So, you know mom and dad died in a car accident when I was eleven. What you don’t know is that my twin sister was in the car with them.”

“Oh shit!”

“Yeah. I went from having a full family to being alone.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“My aunt took me in and raised me. Aunt Millie…. She was living with her second husband in Omaha when she got the call that her brother and sister-in-law had died. She flew out to Maine and stayed with me. My parents had just written their wills and hadn’t gotten a chance to tell her that they’d named her guardian of their kids.” “I bet that was a big shock.”

“For everyone. My mom’s parents thought that they should get custody of me, but aunt Millie wanted to honor my parents’ wishes. She ended up fighting them in court and the judge ruled in her favor. When the school year ended, we moved to her house in Omaha. About a year later, she found out her husband was cheating on her and plotting to take my inheritance.”

“Holy shit.”

“Yeah. It was a pretty significant amount. My mom’s family was pretty well off. She had a trust fund which became mine when she died and my parents had really good life insurance. My grandparents added the money to that trust fund that they intended to put into mine and Max’s trust funds…. Max was my twin. Her name was Maxine.”

“I couldn’t even imagine losing all of that.”

“How many siblings do you have?”

“Three. One older sister, Carly; my younger brother, Scott; and my youngest sister, Shanna.”

“That’s a lot of siblings.”

“Yeah.” Chris took a sip of his beer. “So, back to you. I didn’t need to pay for your room, did I?” Chris smirked at her to let her know he was joking.

“You really didn’t. I just…. I don’t really like to touch that money. After what happened with aunt Millie’s second husband and then her third and fourth husbands…. I figured money ruined people’s lives.”

“What happened with her husbands?”

“They basically used her to try to get to that money. After what happened with her second husband, my grandparents made it very hard for her to touch my inheritance. I didn’t even have access to it until I graduated college. By then, I had learned the value of a dollar by watching aunt Millie work her ass off to keep me clothed, fed, a roof over my head, and in good schools. I had part time jobs throughout high school and college to help her. I used scholarships and grants and a couple of student loans to pay for my college education. I’ve only used that money for three things.”

“What were they?”

“To take aunt Millie to Europe before she died and to pay for that house in Boston.”

“Your aunt is dead?”

“She died about two years ago. Pancreatic cancer. That’s the third thing I used that money on. I paid for all of her medical bills.”

“I’m so sorry, Mac. That’s a lot to go through in only thirty-three years of life.”

Charlie shrugged. “It is, but what can I do about it?”

“When was the last time you’ve been to the East Coast?”

“I visited my grandma in Maine last year when she died.”

“Did you have a good relationship with your grandparents?”

“It was ok. They loved me in their own way. Mom was an only child and I was their only grandkid. They sent me money for my birthday and Christmas. I got Easter baskets from them, too, and I would go out for a week in the summer when I was younger because the court’s said I had to. Those weeks…. Makes me glad that I ended up with aunt Millie. My grandparents weren’t home very much. I hung out with their butler in the summers. When I turned 18, I stopped going. I let aunt Millie have the birthday and Christmas money after that.”

“Wow. You should write a book.”

“Why?”

“Because your life has been…. Eventful and I would even call it inspiring.”

“Maybe one day I will. For now, I prefer to give other people chances to get their voices heard.”

“Is that what appeals to you about being a book editor?”

“Yes. I’ve read some amazing books in my life and I used to wonder what it would be like to be the editor that gets the copy across their desk. To be the first person to read it outside of the author and their family and know that what I have is going to make a lot of other people happy. Not to mention the author. Plus, I’ve been known to be a stickler for grammar, so why not put that skill to use.”

Chris chuckled. “You haven’t corrected my grammar once.”

“You’re pretty eloquent, Evans, but I’ve been silently correcting you.”

That made him tip his head back and laugh loudly, his right hand slapping against his chest. It sucked Charlie in and they both laughed freely. After a few minutes, they finally calmed down and wiped their eyes. “I’m really glad I asked you to hang out with me, Mac.”

“I’m glad I said yes despite the shit circumstances. I really wanted to stay in by myself and hide from the world.”

“Why did you say yes, then?”

“You said the right thing.”

He grinned. “Good. I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.”

Please let me know if you want to be tagged in this story. The more people that want to read it, the better. I want my muse to feel the pressure!

Book List 2018

I’m a couple weeks behind on this, but here’s the list of books I read in 2018. I’ve broken it down by category, though this is pretty loose since, you know, genres bleed into one another and such.

Let me know what you think if you’ve read any of these books or have recommendations, and, as always, please feel free to send me malicious personal attacks if I say something you disagree with.

Worst of 2018

Every single book I read this past year had redemptive value. Even if it was total garbage, it still taught me some stuff (like how not to write a book). Even a bad book can be a good book if you let it be.

So, here’re a few books that didn’t quite hit the spot for me:

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit by Daniel Quinn

Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife by Mary Roach

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Ink Spots by Brian McDonald

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson

Best of 2018

It was genuinely difficult to choose my top books of 2018. What a literary year it has been for me. 2018 marks the most books I’ve read in a year, and I was lucky enough to come across some real game-changers. I finally read the Harry Potter series and, boy howdy, did it ever live up to the hype. What took me so long?? But this was, more than anything, the year of James Baldwin. He has made an indelible mark on me as a reader, a writer, and a human. What a year this has been! I hope to read a fraction as much beautiful, lovely, challenging, profound prose in 2019.

In no particular order, here are the books of 2018 that most moved me, shook me, rattled me, rolled me:

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky

Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom by bell hooks

The Pragmatic Turn by Richard J. Bernstein

Pragmatism and Feminism: Reweaving the Social Fabric by Charlene Haddock Seigfried

The Ethics of Ambiguity by Simone de Beauvoir

What Is Real?: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics by Adam Becker

Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space by Carl Sagan

The Soul of the Night: An Astronomical Pilgrimage by Chet Raymo

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay

Well, there you have it, folks. Here’s to many more good books in the years to come!

The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story. —Ursula K. Le Guin
