the history of us [drake x camille] [part one: fourth of july]
Thank you so much to @fromthedeskofpaisleybleakmore for talking me through how Americans celebrate 4th July (y’all are crazy fun). I want to celebrate 4th July now.
The start is the teaser I posted a few days ago, but if you keep reading, you’ll read more new content :)

Drake woke up bleary eyed and aching all over. Groaning, he shifted his body so he was now sat up and he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He could feel the pain in his head and the room was moving. His mouth was dry.
He found that he was on the sofa which meant he must have fallen asleep in the living room last night. The curtains were shut but he could hear the sound of rain hammering the ground outside.
Drake heard the sound of heels echoing along the hallway before stopping at the door to the living room. Slowly lifting his head, he squinted at the doorway and could see Camille standing at the threshold with her arms crossed.
‘You’re awake,’ she greeted him. Her voice was remote, cut off from him. Drake ran a hand through his hair and cleared his throat. ‘Yeah. I need water.’
He blinked at the bluntness of her voice. As his eyes adjusted, he took her in; she was wearing a purple coat, her black fedora hat and her black suede thigh high boots, which he knew she lovingly called her ‘power boots’ whenever she needed a confidence boost.
Why did she need a confidence boost?
‘Are you going out?’ he asked her, his voice croaking. Camille stared at him, her jaw set.
‘Do you seriously not remember last night?’ she asked in disbelief.
Drake frowned. ‘No.. what happened?’
Her eyes narrowed. ‘You are fucking unbelievable.’
