Lip shifted as he felt something softly brush against his face, the smell of lavender, smoke and plastic filling his nose as he turn his head, leaning into the caress, opening his eyes and entirely not surprised to see her here.

For the past 8 months, after meeting her when she first moved in next door to live with her brother, he and Ian was deemed her two new best friends.

He guess that being one of her self proclaimed new best friend entitled random pop ups at his house. any time she decided to come see them, it was always in the morning, she, waking him up in the morning, which turned to him waking Ian up in the morning, then her staying for breakfast and then walking with them to school and then seeing her whenever Kev and V came over for dinner or to hang out and then the next day comes and the cycle started all over again.

It eventually turned into her coming over to their house after school instead of going straight to hers, staying even after Kev and V left, sometimes till it's late and Fiona will make him walk her home even though she lives next door.

The Gallagher's and him was so use to her that Lip would feel off if he didn't wake up to seeing her red dyed hair when he squint his eyes in the morning, feel off if she wasn't touching his face softly, the one thing that didn't set him off in the morning. The Gallagher's would feel weird and think something was off when they don't see her at the table, sitting on Lip's lap, claiming there was no more seats and that she had to sit on Lip seeing how it was the only available seat and then Carl will yell that he was available as Liam mumbled, Ian softly laughing into his food and Debbie smiling behind her coffee cup, Fiona shaking her head as she moved around in the kitchen.

She called it, Pulling a Pavlov.

For as long as he can remember, she was always there. Right next to him as she woke him up to let him know she was there and that no matter what, that he wasn't starting his day until she was the first one he saw when he woke up in the morning.

He always gave her a strange look, calling her a nut case before throwing his pillow at Ian, waking him up so he can deal with her as he turned back to sleep.

Now a days, he gotten so use to her, he just wrap his arms around her, and pull her over him, so that she lay against the wall, her legs hanging over his hip, her feet dangling over the edge of his makeshift bunk bed, not really thinking as he grabbed a pillow and tossed in the direction of where Ian is at, pulling the covers over them, when Ian darted up out of his sleep when the pillow hit him in the face, he glanced over towards Lip and saw black boots hanging over the side and bed.

He groan loudly, Lip grunted and she giggled.

Ian turned around and went back to sleep as Lip settled turning to lay against the croak of her neck, inhaling deeply before drifting off to sleep to get the last hour or so in. 9 times out of 10, she drifted off right with him.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Welcome to my very first story on Fanfiction, I usually use Quotev, where all my other stories are mainly are but I decided to use Fanfiction for this story because of the mature context.

Shameless is full of nudity and adult themes and sex and what not and that's something I think quotev wouldn't allow on their site, I'm not willing to risk it so I decided to post it here.

I'm not sure if I'm doing any smut, it depends… And if you couldn't tell this is a Lip/ OC fanfiction.

**side note**

Have you guys ever seen that Tumblr post about this girl who gave her crush his favorite candy whenever they saw each other, and he got so use to it that whenever he saw her, he always expected her to have his favorite candy and he was always so excited when she did have but he never knew why.

Yeah its called pull a Pavlov, the girl basically conditioned her crush to associate with her because of a candy he liked and that's sorta what my OC was doing with the Gallagher family.

Even though she wasn't bringing them their favorite food or anything but she sort of inserted herself into their life and made them get use to it, I guess now that I think about it, it wasn't really pulling a Pavlov.

Oops
