I LOVE YOU ALL (More information about that after the one-shot I don't wanna get between you and the ship). Prompt: 90's AU (tell me if I screwed up lol I wish I was a nineties child) They're grunge-ish and hippie-ish I guess? I dunno. I'm terribly sorry if it's a little short.


He watched the way her loose black dress twirled around her body as she spun, the stars abiding the nearly dark sky. Her hands were held over her head, the golden locks straight and framing her face underneath the flower crown. Nirvana played in the background, the lyrics I'm so ugly, but that's okay 'cause so are you fading into the background. Josh grew enthralled with her, the sapphires in her eyes coming to meet his catching him off-guard occasionally. He didn't usually sit with them, but one of his friends had started meeting up with his girl.

Josh loved the time it was, the time to be freely grunge and wild and reckless - The 90's. TV's will ruin the country, he figured and opted to be out of it. It was a pitiful feeling he got when he remembered it was going to end soon, probably, but there was no time to dwell on that with her moving towards him. She was just in front of him, the wonderful woman when someone called out. "Maya! The deep voice didn't stop her from smiling like the Devil's angel and leaning down onto him, a sedate kiss pressed to his lips. Cherry, he thought in the haze of surprise and pleasure, She tastes like cherry.

Josh refused not to see her, despite the knowing smile on her lips at the sight of him and the way she acted as if nothing had happened. It was endlessly and startingly reckless how she teased his mind, thoughts of her peeking into his subconscious. He'd talked to her a few times after that, heard her talk many, and seen her act more often.

It had been a particularly dark day when she had marched up to him, pointing and firm. "You!" There was no ACDC in the background, no dances or songs to sing, no cheers or smiling faces. "Did you punch Daniel? Did you do it?" He couldn't decide if she was angry or not, her voice nothing but demanding. He could have laughed, her small frame when compared to his; But she honestly scared him like this, so fierce. He stuttered a little bit and had to ignore the sneers from around, but one sharp glance from Maya and they stopped. "Uh, n-no-no-why?" He didn't know who Daniel was, let alone punch him. Was he the temperamental boy always storming from and to the group around them?

Releasing a sigh and looking both relieved and disappointed, Maya sat next to him on the bench. "Bummer. I wish someone would knock him back on his rocker, but I guess he would've come back and put you on a spike." He watched her, confused.

Leaning back, she smiled at him. "Sorry for causing a scene, but my brother likes to complain to me about bullshit. You know my name already?" Josh nodded. "Good. You're going to need it. There's this concert I'm going to - Nirvana, you know them, right?"

Josh snorted, "Duh."

Maya gave him a laugh, eyes sparkling. "How about instead of watching me you come with me? I mean, how long can a guy go before he's tired of dreaming? I'll see you here, next weekend, then?"

"You don't even know my name," Josh smirked at her, this mysterious girl. "It's -"

"Josh. Matthews." She breathed in slightly, but as a guy who'd been so into her on so little, he caught it. "I know. So, ten? And that's at night after your curfew, pretty boy. I know you like to follow the rules." Maya grinned at him when he nodded, before spinning off to her friends.


"That was amazing! Curt Kobain is amazing!" Maya gushed as they walked down the alleyway, pulling him forward. She walked backward and held onto his hands, "Hey! You should find your -" she looked him up and down, "Actually I'm coming over to wherever you hang. There's a place I hang and you can't look like a boy scout to get in." Maya was determined to know Josh better than anyone he knew - her actual words - implied she would be involved in half of his hours. Josh didn't seem to want anything less because they were already inseparable.

"Really? A boy scout? Is that all I am to you emos?"

"How dare you! I am a grunge!" Maya broke out laughing, her jacker slipping just down her shoulders. "And you are a boy scout, Joshy."

"Says the girl with a stray ferret as a pet," he pulled her closer.

She scoffed, "Who wouldn't that ferret? He's adorable." Her arms gathered around his neck, and looking at him through her eyelashes after he noticed the glance at his lips, she asked him something crucial. "So am I going to have to make the first move again or you gonna do something?" She slowly inched closer to him, whispering like the mischievous woman she was. "I'm right here, so close, so in reach -"

Josh didn't let her finish her teasing, pulling her closer by her hips and taking her by surprise. His lips had caught her's and she embraced it, clutching him. Pullin back, he didn't let her think to do anything before moving against the building. He pecked kisses onto her neck from her jawline, listening to every breath she made. When he knew she was making no effort to take control of the situation he stopped, grinning at her. "Boy scouts do that to girls like you a lot, in alleys at concerts like this?"

"Probably," she breathed out. "So your gonna have to make a little more effort than that, boy scout," and so they continued. That night, the next week, even the next month and only they knew how much longer.
