Time Flies | Louise x Rudy | Bob's burgers

10- A Serious Conversation

"Hell yeah! Thanks Louise" he says grabbing my wrist

I feel something come up in my stomach and everything feels safer when he grabs me, I can feel myself getting flushed so I cover my face by drinking some purple Gatorade.

Shit shit shit what's wrong with me why do I feel this way, Louise whatever you do, do NOT let your guard down. He's just painting your nails.

I feel the cold of the polish hit my skin

"Hey! You said you would be careful" I say looking down at the blue around my index fingers nail

"Actually I never explicitly said that!" He says smiling

I take a deep breath and accept the fact my fingers will look like half a Smurf

Rudy's POV

I got a message from Louise asking to hang out while I was shopping for my sister, she's letting me choose where we hang out so I decided on our spot.

And so we didn't get hungry I decided I was gonna buy some of her favorite snacks from when she was younger, lunchables pizza and purple Gatorade

After I bought everything I have about 10 minutes to get louise so I drove home to give my sister everything she wanted

"Guess who's back!" I say cheerfully as I walk through the door

Ruby comes from around the corner snatching the bags

"Woah woah slow down not everything is for you, I'm going to hang out with a friend so I got somethings for her, oh also could I borrow the nail polish you wanted? I'll bring it back, plus it's my money so technically it's mine"

"Ooooooo is it Louise?" She says in a playful joking way

"Maybe it is that's none of your business" I reply back feeling a little flushed

"You can borrow it, but you better give it back, have fun with your girlfriendddd"

I head out the door and drive over to Louise's place, after I get her I give her the AUX cord and she plays some of the wildest music I've ever heard

The only song we could actually finish before getting there, was a fun song even when the guy began screaming about his arms legs gut and face

Her music taste made me question other things I don't know about her, like her favorite color, was I actually her favorite person, her favorite snacks now

Once we get to our spot I see her face light up, I grab our bags and we begin heading up to the roof of the now run down store

-----------------------------------

I'm almost done painting her first hand with the blue nail polish, before I accidentally say something I don't mean to

"Louise, I'm worried about you"

Now see this sounds sincere but with Louise if you tell her this she spirals, she thinks you are judging her and she gets super defensive

"Don't say that." She says back with a serious tone

Fuck. Might as well finish what I started

"I know you don't like when people say that but you and I need to have a serious conversation"

"Ugh what is it with people and wanting to talk all the freaking time! I'm fine ok? There's nothing to talk about or to be worried about" she says sounding frustrated

"Louise. Please."

She glances at me I can see her trying to stay strong but she caves

"Fine. What are you worried about and what do we need to talk about"

See I know she has a soft spot for me, shes nicer to me than anyone else, so I can use it if I really need to get my way

"I'm worried about your substance problem" I say with a heavy sigh trying to focus on her nails

"Rudy Rudy Rudy buddy there's nothing to be worried about, I don't remember much about that phone call, but I remember saying that I'll only drink when you drink, plus I'm in college, my parents are letting me not be at work as often as I should because they know college should be a time to have fun and try things"

"I know Louise, but I'm just scared for you"

"There's nothing to be scared about!" I can see her getting more agitated

"Louise I just need you to promise me you'll be safe and whenever you are drunk please call me, I'll come get you or watch you"

"Fine what's the other thing you wanted to talk about"

"Before I left, how did you feel about me?" I say with a small shake in my voice. I know Louise doesn't like talking about feelings at all she hides them and ignores them, but I really needed to know.

She takes a deep breath stands up and whisper shouts

"I don't know what you think I felt but I can assure you it's wrong! Louise Belcher doesn't need feelings, god I knew I should've just stayed home today!

She climbs down quickly and I see her marching off down the street probably heading home

I rub my temples in aggravation, slowly climbing down the roof

Fine if she doesn't want to talk about it then I don't want to, I'll just leave her space until she calms down, wait for her to come to me.
