a/n: the idea of musician hange is eating my brain. i have several ideas for this to be a non-chronological series :) lemme know if you want more
Hange frowns, with a cigarette dangling from their lips. Smoke puffs out of their mouth, and they attempt to blow it out behind them, avoiding the poisonous smoke to reach you.
Their eyebrows knit together in clear confusion, chocolate colored eyes looking at you as if you’re insane, behind thick oval glasses.
“The fuck are you doin’?” Despite the crude words, there’s no real bite behind their bark.
The bass guitar you are holding — that belongs to Zöe, mind you — is jet black, save for the silver star details on the neck of the instrument. You run your fingertips on the metal chords, laughing at the way they approach you, shortly taking the bass from your lap.
If it were anyone else pulling this show for them, Hange would have their head by now — you both know that.
The soft spot they have for you isn’t as hidden as they think.
“What, I thought the whole point of sleeping with a musician was the perks that come with it.”
Sleeping, right. Although there isn’t a right word or expression to define what is going on between the two of you for the last couple of months, Hange doubts that sleeping together is enough to define the countless meals shared together, meeting each other’s friends and even going on impromptu road trips.
Your flirty smile doesn’t fool them for a second. Hange places the bass guitar on the wall behind them, right where it was before.
The sight of the devil on their bed — you, with messy hair and playful gaze, wearing nothing but their Deftones t-shirt — makes their stomach flip. Despite the whole thing being casual, this feels weirdly domestic.
Hange needs another cigarette.
The nickname earns a mixed response from you: enraged at first, playful next.
“You act as if eight years is like a century.” You remind them of your not so big age gap, however you feel the weight of your lack of experience on your shoulders. “Makes you sound ancient.”
Their stomach flips again, but this time the corner of their mouth twists in a wicked smile.
“Yeah, yeah.” Their gaze falls upon your lips for a few seconds, before realizing why they went into the room at all. “Breakfast is ready.”
