Parler Tout Bas—Chapter One

Rated G
Author's Note: I relented to an anon and accepted Julieresa prompts in addition to the Juliandy prompts I'm doing. As with that fic, feel free to send me prompts with this ship! I'll take platonic or romantic, and even family fluff if you like the headcanon that they're cousins. However, for this ship, I'm only taking sfw prompts.
Disclaimer: I don't own Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja or its characters.
Prompt: Julieresa [the prompt wasn't specific so I wrote this one using my headcanon that they're cousins] (tumblr)
If you have any CC, please share and I'll listen. Please read, review, and enjoy! Finished 08-28-15
Get-togethers were rare in their family, but not completely unheard of. Julian didn't particularly like them–his family didn't even try to understand him, and he made no attempts to help them. After all, they didn't care about him. In fact, if his parents weren't the wealthiest people there, they'd probably openly mock him. There was really only one person there who'd always been kind to him, and she wasn't even speaking to him. He was all alone in an unfamiliar house, pretending he didn't want to be literally anywhere but there, wishing the day could just be over…
"Julian?" He jumped at the unexpected voice, turning around to find his cousin, looking just as uncomfortable as he felt. "I think the clock must be going backwards, huh? It feels like this party has been going on forever…"
"I thought you weren't speaking to me?" he blurted out, almost wincing at how terrible that sounded. But Theresa only smiled, albeit a little awkwardly.
"I'm still pretty mad that you told the whole cafeteria my secret, but you're still my family. Family I like even! And…" Her smile turned genuine. "You're my friend, Julian. I miss hanging out with you."
Julian might have cried if it wouldn't have ruined his makeup.
"I've missed you too…"
The rest of the party still dragged, but with Theresa at his side, Julian didn't mind as much anymore.
