Just a cute little Ferome one-shot I wrote when I was watching Buzzfeed videos (how I got inspiration for this from them I will never know). A little unrequited Fabina. I hope you enjoy.
Nina frowned at the paper in front of her. She was in London hoping to interview a street artist for the online magazine she worked for, the only problem was she had no idea where she was supposed to meet him.
"Oh excuse me" she called out grabbing the arm of a man with dark hair as he walked past.
"Can I help you" he smiled in return.
"Fabian" Nina gasped.
"Um yeah, how. Oh wow Nina" he smiled again, this time more awkwardly "what are you doing back in England?"
"I work for an online magazine, I'm here to do an interview of a street artist" she replied, and couldn't help but feel slightly proud of herself and the fact she finally got the chance to say that to Fabian.
"What have you been up to?"
"Oh um, I'm a creative director for a video company, I was actually on my way to meet up with my, um, a friend and a bunch of people from the office."
"A friend huh" Nina smirked. She felt sad that Fabian was in a relationship, but that was okay, not everything lasted forever.
"Actually um, actually it's my husband."
"What, um" Nina stuttered. Did Fabian just say he was married to another man? She glanced down at his left hand. Sure enough there was an elegant silver band wrapped around his ring finger.
"Yeah about halfway through the last year at school we started going out and well you can guess the rest" he laughed awkwardly.
"Wow well belated congratulations to you and…who?"
"Right um" he spotted someone behind Nina and brightened up "Jerome!"
Their old house mate approached them with a smile, slightly strained when he directed it at Nina.
"Long time no see" he greeted. Nina smiled in return.
"Just catching Nina up on what she's missed" Fabian informed him.
"Definitely been some changes since you were last here" Jerome nodded.
"So I've been told" Nina nodded "I don't suppose you have anything dramatic that I should know about."
"Nothing Fabian wouldn't have told you" he replied which elicited a laughed out of the said brunet. Nina frowned before catching a glinting reflection as Jerome tightened his coat. An elegant silver band wrapped around his ring finger a perfect match to Fabian's.
"Yes. He did dance around the name of his partner" she prompted.
"Oh really" Jerome said raising an eyebrow slightly.
"You know I hate doing that kind of stuff without you here" Fabian sighed leaning against Jerome's side.
"I'm beginning to wonder how you even function without me around" Jerome teased. Fabian pulled a face.
"We better get going" he directed to Nina "we need to get there before Andrew does."
They bid each other goodbye. Nina watched as Fabian and Jerome continued on their way with one arm each wrapped around the others waist. Not only was her still remaining crush on Fabian just useless baggage but she never did get directions to find that street artist. Not that it really mattered anymore. Were there any serious repercussions for breaking up a marriage.
I have no idea who Andrew is. I literally just picked a name and was like yeah that can be one of their colleagues. I hope you enjoyed.
I'm thinking about doing a mulit-chapter Ferome fic where they are still at the school and Nina come's back and tries to slot back in where she was but Fabian is secretly dating Jerome or at least something along those lines. If you want me to post that just let me know. Cos if no one want's to read it I probably won't upload it. At least not in it's entirety. :P
