Chapter One

Cath knew it was going to be difficult. After Professor Piper pushed her and pushed her to a breaking point where she had to say yes. But she didn't know it was going to be this difficult.

"I can't do this, I don't even know where to begin." Cath said to Levi, as they both sat at Cath's desk, crouched over her computer.

"Yes you can Cather. Just start with the basics." He said. Levi doesn't know a thing about writing, she thought. She didn't mean it though. Sighing, she started writing. She looked across the room, hoping to find him.

"That's a good start." Levi commented, already excited about Cath's work. "You just need a backstory."

"It's more than that. I need to bond with my characters somehow. It's not as easy as you would think."

"Why don't you just write about yourself?"

"My life is boring."

"You can talk about your undying love for protein bars." Levi said, a wicked grin on his face.

"Hey! Protein bars are a good source of protein!"

"I wonder why." Reagan greeted as she walked into the dorm room. "Ah. This dorm is nicer than our old one." She said to Cath.

"So, did you unpack in your room?" Levi asked, eyebrows raised.

"Are you really asking me that? You know I don't want to be here again."

"It will be fun! Another year of college for both of us." Levi said, a drop of sarcasm in his voice.

"You decided to do a creative writing class." Cath said. She didn't want to be the reason he applied for college again.

"I know. I'm happy I am. I can finally write with you." He said.

"You lovebirds have fun in your new dorm, I'm going to a frat party. Levi, you up for it?" Reagan asked, hoping he would say yes. Ever since Cath and him really got together, he hasn't went to a party with her for forever.

"I think I'm going to stay in and help Cather here right her fictional story that was due last school year." He said, glaring at Cath. She sunk into her chair, afraid to say anything back. It's not her fault that she was in a writing slump. Simon and Baz were her children-they still are. She just wanted to expand her horizon. After the eighth book came out, and Cath finished Carry On, she's been trying to write more stories of Simon and Baz. It seemed like the Simon Snow fandom was gone, though. She kept on getting less and less views, until MagiCath was only getting 100 views per week on her latest updates.

Levi and Reagan were devastated. After reading all of the Simon Snow books, and reading Cath's fanfiction, they hoped people would still be talking. What's worse about getting into a fandom, is getting into a fandom nobody wants to talk about. That's Cath's worst nightmare.

"Okay. So she wants to find him in the room. Why?" Levi asked, trying to coach her.

"I don't know."

"Come on Cather, you have to have something in you."

"She was trying to find her dad?"

"Good! Although I'm surprised you didn't go the cliche way. Oh, wait, nevermind. You only write the gay cliche way."

"My boyfriend will not be a homophobe."

"I'm not! I'm just saying, you could write one story where it's girlxboy."

"Maybe I will." Cath said in an argumentative tone. She clicked away on the keyboard, writing all of her emotions out. Levi stared in wonder the whole time. At the end of the first chapter, Cath looked up to him, questioning if she did alright.

"How do you type so fast?" Levi said, fascination in his voice. Cath face-palmed.

"I'm talking about the story, dummy. Did you read any of it?"

"How was I supposed to? You wrote a page a minute, not to mention you wrote thirty pages."

"Fine. I'll send it to you and have you read it during your lunch hour."

"What if Reagan needs me then?"

"Too bad. You have to learn how to read by yourself now. For long periods of time." Levi pouted his lips, hoping she would take back what she said. He liked her voice when she read to him, and he didn't want that to change. He loved the way she portrayed the characters. Especially Simon, Baz, and Agatha.

"I'm tired." Cath yawned, stretching her arms out. "I think it's time to hit the bed." Levi was a little upset, but he didn't show it.

"Okay Cather. I love you." He said, softly kissing her. She kissed back.

"Goodnight." She said, sliding into her own bed. Levi turned the lights off, setting his alarm.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" He asked, pouting his bottom lip out. Cath sighed.

"Fine. One time thing. You know that's my weakness." She said, though a smile was on her mouth the whole time.

"I love you, MagiLevi." She said as he pulled her close, kissing her cheek.
