[Real Life]
SAME DAY
Addilyn and I entered the restaurant with smiles on our faces. This was one of our favorite restaurants to go to that didn't serve way overpriced fancy crap. Our reservations were for 7, but they seated us early in our usual spot; close enough to the front where we could see the door, but far enough away to where fans couldn't see us from outside.
When we had first been seated I texted Brendon to let him know that we were here already and to get his drink order, so that those could be started. I told the staff member at the door that another person would be joining us, and to show him where we were seated when he arrived.
Right after the drinks had been delivered, Brendon comes walking to our table and sits down beside me.
"Hey Cam," he said, awkwardly waving to me as Addi was in the restroom. This guy could do shows in front of hundreds of people, but couldn't say hi to his girlfriend without being awkward?
"Hey Bren, how was your day today?"
"Pretty good actually. Especially because I got to see you," he said, leaning over and kissed me quickly. I handed him a menu and he took it and started to read it. "How was your day"
"Meh. I love having days off, but I don't know what to do with myself. I usually spend it with Addi."
"Well next time you're bored on your day off, call me and we'll do something," he said, taking his eyes off the menu briefly.
"I will do that, thanks Bren," I told him right as Addi came back.
"Sorry that took so long. I swear someone in there died- oh hey Brendon. When did you get here?"
"Just a few minutes ago actually," he said, closing the menu and setting it down on the table.
"Well- well that's great. Hope the traffic wasn't too bad," she said at an attempt to make small talk.
"No, not too bad," he replied, taking a sip of his drink. It was awkwardly silent until our waiter came to take our orders.
"Hello, my name is Declan and I'll be your server today. What can I get for you guys today?" Brendon and I ordered, leaving Addi to be last, as she was sitting there, staring at him.
"And I'll have an order of your hot with a side of your number please," she said, unblinking. After all, she is an actress.
I watched as his face got bright red. I put my face into my hands and I heard Brendon chuckle besides me. She placed her actual order and he left, probably trying to get as far away from us as possible. I decided against asking her what the hell that was, and just continued to hide my face. Brendon started laughing more and I couldn't help but shake my head.
Once we were done having our second-hand embarrassment, Addi spoke up.
"So Brendon, I have some questions for you," she started. His face immediately drained of color, and she smiled. "Don't be worried, this will only decide if you are worthy enough to date my best friend. Nothing to be worried about."

As soon as she said this, I kicked her under the table. She winced and looked at me before laughing. "Just kidding! But answer truthfully, as nobody likes a liar," she told him, taking any joking tones out of her voice. "First question, when will the next Panic! album be out?"
I had to have known that she would ask that. Before I could kick her again, he started speaking.
"There is no concrete release date, but expect it sometime next year," he told her, placing his hand on my leg.
"Great, next question. Do you plan on using her for anything? Fans, money, sex?"
"Addilyn!" I yelled, kicking her again.
"No, it's fine Cam. I can answer it," he says, turning to face her again. "That isn't, and never will be my intention with Cam. We both have large amounts of followers, but I would never try and use her for that. I can promise you that."
"Oh, look! Here's our food! Let's forget this topic," I say, trying to change the subject. It was true of course, our food had arrived. Declan wasn't delivering it, so I can only assume that she chased him off.
"Oh my god, I can see why you guys like this place so much!" Brendon said, his mouth full of food. Addi sent him a look before speaking.
"Now is that anyway to behave in front of your girlfriend?"
"No. I'm sorry babe," he said before taking another bite of his weird sandwich. Addi and I had just gotten our usual pastas. As soon as he said this, she started choking on her food for a second before she got over it and drank some of her fancy-ass drink. "What?"
"It's nothing Bren. She just never learned how to fucking eat," I responded, giving her a look. He seemed to believe it and went back to eating.
Since he eats pretty fast, he was finished before Addi and I were even halfway finished. As soon as he was done, he put his hand back on my leg and started talking about random things.
"What one thing would you like to be buried with?" He asked and I almost choked on my food because of how random it was.
"What the actual fuck Brendon?" Addi says, dropping her fork.
"What? I mean it's a valid question, what if you died tomorrow? I would want to know what to bury you with," he said, holding up his hands in defense.
"Definitely a weird question, but not as weird as some of the stuff we say at 3 am," I say and shoot a look towards Addi. She tries not to laugh before speaking.
"'Don't step on my muffin!' 'I'm not going to step on your muffin!'" She whispers before laughing. I did too while Brendon gave us confused looks.
"So a few years ago I was drunk and she was at my house. It was three in the morning, and I was lying on my kitchen floor eating a muffin. She walked past me, and that conversation happened, but the muffin was on my stomach, so she wouldn't have stepped on it," I explained to him. He started laughing and put his head down.

"Oh my god that's actually hilarious," he said, still laughing.
"It is even funnier when you know that just seconds before she was calling my ex's parents pot farmers," she said, still laughing so it was barely heard.
"In my define did bring brownies to a party and labeled them as 'Pot Brownies'!"
"That is definitely something I would do," he said laughing.
Right around this time Declan came back bringing the checks. We decided that we would all pay for our own meals to prevent any arguments. He handed us all our tickets and left.
"Hell yeah!" Addi somewhat yelled, holding up her check. We both gave her questioning looks and she showed us that he had actually given her his number. Both Brendon and I gave her high fives and put money down to cover the costs.
We left the restaurant together as a group and Addi said that she would go get my car and meet us back here to give Brendon and I a minute alone. We had to be careful what we did as we were back outside.
"Thanks for inviting me. I had a great time learning all that random stuff about you," he told me, wrapping his arms around me from behind. He had the hood on his jacket up over his head, which was turned towards my face.
"No problem. I hope I'll get to learn more about your weird past as well."
"Of course babe. Just let me know the time and place and I'll be there," he said, adding a wink. "I was also thinking that maybe I could take you to my house and we can watch a movie? I promise you that I am not just doing that to do stuff with you, that's not at all what I was planning."
"Yeah sure, why not? I'll call Addi really quick and just tell her to take my car," I said and separated myself from him and called her. She told me that she would just go to my house and 'make herself at home', meaning she would just eat all my food.
Brendon led me to his car and opened the door for me once again. Once I was in, he went around and got in and started to drive. I tried to memorize the way so I could come back again if I was invited.
Soon enough we pulled up at this beautiful white house and he turned the car off.
"Welcome to Casa de Urie," he said, before getting out of the car. I followed suit and followed him to the front door. He unlocked it and we went inside, turning the lights on as he went. "Sorry it may be a little messy, I really didn't expect anyone coming over."
I looked around and it was literally spotless. I had no clue how he could say it was messy.
"It's spotless in here, how is it messy?"
"I guess it's not that messy. Do you want anything to drink?"
"Anything you choose would be great, thanks Brendon," I tell him and he nods before going to the kitchen. I sit down on the couch while I wait. He soon comes back with two bottles of beer.
"I hope this is alright, it's the only brand I have,"he tells me, holding out the bottle for me. I nod before taking a drink.
Soon, we had picked out a movie to watch and sat together watching it.
About halfway through the movie, me being the idiot I am, I spilled beer down my white shirt.
"Ah fuck!" I yelled, looking down at it and sitting up.
"What?" Brendon asks, looking concerned as to why I just yelled 'fuck'.
"I spilled beer on my shirt," I say trying to get some of it out with my jeans, which wasn't working, and I wasn't sure on why I thought it would.
"Do you want to borrow one of mine? It's better than sitting there with beer on your shirt," he offered.
"Yeah, thanks Bren," I responded. He said something and left to go upstairs and get me a shirt. I started looking around from my spot and saw various awards around. Standing up, I went to the one closest to me and looked at it. It was his 2014 Alternative Press Best Vocalist award, which was really impressive, considering how many people were nominated.
When he came back downstairs with a black tshirt in his hand, I was still looking at the awards.
"Here you go," he said, holding it out to me. "It'll probably be big on you, but it was the smallest I could find. The bathroom is over there."
"Thank you Bren," I replied, taking the shirt from his outstretched hand.
"No problem Cam."
I found the bathroom and changed quickly, also putting my hair up into a messy bun. I left the bathroom and put my shirt with my purse and jacket before joining him back in the living room and continuing the movie.
Brendon's POV
Once the movie was over, I turned towards Camari to see how she had liked it, only to find that she had actually fallen asleep. I gently picked her up and carried her to my bed before setting her down again. Leaning over to kiss her forehead, I whispered 'good night' to her and went back downstairs.
I felt really bad going through her purse to find her phone, but I wanted to let Addilyn know that she had fallen asleep so she didn't think the worst had happened. Luckily I found her phone quickly and even found that that didn't have a password on it.
Hey Addilyn, it's Brendon. I just wanted to let you know that Cam fell asleep during the movie and I don't want to wake her. She's asleep in my room and I'll be in a spare room. I'll bring her home in the morning.
Thanks for letting me know! See you guys in the morning.
I found a charger that would work with her phone and plugged it in. It was challenging as she had a Samsung, but I had an Apple. I found one though and plugged her phone into it.
Since nobody ever stayed at my house, none of the spare beds had sheets on them. I found a set of sheets and blankets and set to work on making my bed in a different room before falling asleep.

Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place. Witness his exploits. Watch him build his kingdom, receive a rare class, and overcome trial upon trial. This story is about a man trying to redeem his past errors, constantly striving for better, overcoming immense pain and loss. Our character will improve, learn, become better than yesterday, and strive for more power. All the while working his way up the food chain in this brutal and unforgiving new world. *Disclaimer:* - The protagonist starts weak and a little naive, but I guarantee he will become quite capable over time. There will be no sudden power gains. The protagonist will have to work hard for what he gets. - This story is not about a loner, he'll have a few companions, and they will not be useless. - Some romance will be explored but not take away from the story. The main character will not be dense. Absolutely no harem will happen, but there might be a few love interests, no more than 3. - I will try my best to not follow cliches and stay as original as possible. - This story is my first ever, whether online or in real life. Thus, I might have grammatical errors here and there. The story might have a few plot holes and other such minute mistakes, as well. But I guarantee to try my best. Please give me feedback so that I can deliver a better story and learn to write better.
