The Best Friend (1/3)

[rsadelle]

I know you mentioned girl!Seguin with a harem of hot women, but I kind of wanted girl!Seguin in a romcom instead. Also, I decided to call her Taylor. This got long, so if you prefer, you can read it at AO3.

Taylor gets dumped while they're on a road trip. By text. The night before they have a day off that she was going to use to strip for him over Skype.

Marshy and Looch and Ference buy her drinks, enough that she's pretty drunk and ranting and glad they're in the hotel bar instead of somewhere it'll take longer to get back to her room from, and it all sucks. Sucks."And I can't even have ice cream," she whines. (She know she's whining, and she doesn't care, because she got dumped and it sucks.) "The trainers would kill me if I got it myself, and Tyler would order it for me and just have it sent to my room, but they have a game and he doesn't even know yet, and why does this always happen

The doorman hands her a package when she gets home two days later, and she manages not to drop it on the way into her apartment. There's an envelope on top, so she opens that first and pulls out a flat card with a note in the strong, dark strokes of Tyler's handwriting.Don't eat them all at once.

No matter how many assholes dump you, you'll always be my wife.

XOXO
Tyler
Taylor tears open the paper around the box. He sent her chocolates, only a small box, but the really good kind. She eats one of them standing there at the kitchen counter, and then she snaps a picture of the box with that one empty space and sends it to him with, Thanks. You're the best. xoxoMarshy shows up at her door after practice the next day, and she lets him in even though she spends a minute thinking about ignoring him

The really shitty thing is that she wakes up hungover, but she wasn't so drunk that she doesn't remember calling Tyler, so she also has to wake up remembering that he hung up on her.

Taylor mopes around the house, goes to practice and puts up with the guys making fun of her hangover, and doesn't really start feeling better until after she takes a nap. She lies in bed for a while after she wakes up, thinking about it. Tyler is her best friend, he's hot enough that she would totally hit that, and she knows they can live together. She tries it out in her head, thinking about dating him and fucking him and living with him and marrying him so she would really be his wife. It's really good, like she could do that.

But he hung up on her, and if this really is her romcom ending, that probably means she has to do something that will get him back and/or show him she's serious. But that's never what happens. In all the movies (and they're not stupid, no matter what Marshy says), it's always the guy who makes the big gesture at the end. And

Taylor doesn't really come up with a plan, so on Sunday morning all she has to take with her is an overnight bag and the pair of skates and stick she throws in the trunk just in case. She does snap a picture of the note that came with the chocolates, where she's moved it from her counter to the fridge, just in case that's helpful
