A/N: So this here, not my usual I know, but it's for my forum Project Insanity, and since it's a little weird to RP with myself I decided to write up all my little head cannons for Marley and my OC Beauden, since I had a dream and now I ship them… so I decided it needs to happen and this is the least weird way so enjoy :D

(PS. His face claim is Beauden Barrett the New Zealand Rugby Player for the All Blacks, he's just kinda my favourite All Black and he's super talented and yeah, again enjoy :D)

"Hey um Beauden," Marley lightly taps the taller guy on the shoulder.
Turning around he smiles at Marley, "Yeah?"
"Could you service table five for me please?" she clasps her hands together.
He turns to look at the table, "Are they bothering you or something?" Beauden asks cautiously.
"Oh no, nothing like that," Marley shakes her head, "I just know them, and they're pretty much here to watch me fail, so I'd really appreciate…"
"No worries, I'll take table five," he nods, smiling at her again, taking the notepad and pen from her apron, "I'll need this though yeah?" he holds it up with a chuckle as he walks off to the table.

During her break Marley stood leaning against one of the kitchen's benches, she was well out of their way as she scrolled through her phone, occasionally looking up to look out the serving window.
"Still there," she mumbles to herself for what must be the hundredth time, rolling her eyes she turns back to her phone.
"They just asked for the check."
She jumped as she heard the voice behind her.
"You know in case you were wondering, and they did ask again if you were here."
"What'd you say?" Marley raises an eyebrow.
"I'll get your bill," he chuckles.
Marley chuckles, "Nice, they're gonna completely explode with questions tomorrow," she shakes her head slightly.

Pushing the door open Marley steps out into the cold, she stops, still holding the door open. It was yet another night she'd chickened out and rushed, not waiting even though his shift finished at the same time as hers.
She'd been advised to just ask, get it over with, but the thing is, what if he said no, or worse just laughed at her. She shook her head the thought, and took another step forward before taking a deep breath and turned around, slamming right into something. Taking an involuntary step back she almost slips, almost being the word because Beauden grabs her arms quickly yanking her forward.
"You okay there?" he raises an eyebrow as he tries to hold back his brewing laughter.
"I'm good thanks, loosing circulation, but good," Marley nods quickly, as he lets go of her arms.
"Sorry," he chuckles slightly.
"It's fine, was, I didn't mind," she shrugs, folding her arms across her chest.
Beauden smiles, looking around them a little.
"So," Marley starts slowly.
"Do you need a ride home?"
"Actually yeah that would be great," Marley nods, smiling at him.
"Sure it's just down the road a little."
"Cool," Marley nods as they start to walk.
"It's really cold here."
"I presume it doesn't get like this where you're from then? Cause this isn't our coldest, it snows here you know," she chuckles.
"I've heard, but where I'm from, aka New Zealand it's summer right now, but even in winter I can normally wear shorts throughout it."
"Wow, no negatives then?" Marley raises an eyebrow.
"Nope it doesn't get that low, it doesn't snow in the North Island, only the South."
"I guess that's kinda like the different states, except they're named better," Marley jokes, "I mean North and South, that's not very imaginative," she chuckles.
"No well there's Stewart Island too, right down the bottom."
"Oh wow, we managed to name all our 50 states properly."
"That's because there's 50, we have three islands, North, South and Stewart are perfectly fine," Beauden chuckles.
"Sure, whatever you say," Marley laughs, patting him lightly on the back. Opening the door to his car as he unlocks it. "Have you been to all the islands?"
"I just got to wait for it to warm up a bit," he says gesturing to the car as he gets in. "Not Stewart Island, I've visited the South Island and I lived in the North Island," he explains. How many states have you visited?"
"Okay. Not many," Marley shrugs. "California, Illinois, Michigan and I'm from Indiana, and I may have crossed the border of Kentucky once, but I'm not sure."
"I take it you don't go to the beach often then?" Beauden raises an eyebrow, cause I know there's not one near here."
"No, I've only been to the beach twice, once in Michigan and once when we were in LA for Nationals," she shrugs.
"Wow, in New Zealand, you're pretty much a half hour from a beach at all times, not always a good one, but still, better than twice in your life."
"Yeah, twice and once on a plane, that was the most terrifying thing ever."
"You don't like flying then?"
"Heights, can't stand them, I mean I still don't know why I chose to go to Six Flags for my birthday."
"Six Flags is?"
"A theme park," Marley answers quickly.
"Oh right, I totally knew that," Beauden chuckles, before starting up the car. "Do you mind road spotting?"
"Road what?" Marley frowns.
"Just I only got my licence converted a few weeks ago, and Fliss road spots for me," Beauden tries to explain.
"I'm not sure what you want me to do," she turns to face him again.
"Make sure I drive on the right side of the road please."
"Ohh, right, does it really make that much of a difference, like I mean obviously you have to cause otherwise you'll crash, but I mean is it really so different?"
"It actually is, I have problems with corners, I go to go to the left, but I'm meant to stay on the right."
"Can you not just copy what the other cars do?" she chuckles.
"Well not if there's no one in front of me."
"Oh well duh," Marley smiles a little looking down. "Hey…"
"Yea…" he starts at the same she does, gesturing for her to go first.
"Um," Marley briefly pauses, thinking it over once again. "Would you like to go to a party? It's on New Year's Eve, I mean it's totally cool if you'd rather hang out with your cousin, or do whatever, I just thought I'd ask, it could be fun, like I don't even like parties normally myself, but I thought I'd ask," she rambles.
Beauden chuckles a little through her mini-rant. "I'd love to go," he turns to smile at her.

A/N: And so that's just a small start, just so you get to know Beauden a little (cause I'm presuming you know Marls, lol :) But yeah I have a bunch of little Head-cannons for these two, and I'm totally open to suggestions from you guys, and I hope you like what I've started here :)
