#sopian is my goals

[[Lilah]]

Honestly so much relationship drama has happened that at the end of the night I'm glad I'm single.

I can't say it's going great for Jess and her boyfriend, who's been glaring at Kieran and I for the whole party.

Kieran: r u staying over l8r

Me: ??

Kieran: 😴sleepover

Me: oh, the 2 of us?

Kieran: Rian and Sophia r staying 2

Me: ok but what bout Jess

Kieran: oh I'm sure she'll bring chez back w her

Me: eww gross, they'd be staying in my room

Me: tbh better than her staying w us 🖐🏻

Late at night, or should I say morning, everyone has left and the four of us are crawling into sleeping bags in Kieran's living room after shoving aside Oasis cans and J2O bottles and persuading Chez and Jess to shove off home.

I feel slightly uncomfortable wedged between Rian and Kieran but Kieran's texting and Rian is cuddling up to Sophia. The two of them make me smile, they are absolutely adorable.

Kieran: are they kissing?

I stifle a laugh

Me: let me check

Me: ok they need to get a room asap

Kieran: #sopian

Me: #riaphia

Kieran: probs the worst ship name ever but otp much

Me: tbh #sopian is my goals

Me: ooh what's the wifi password

Kieran: ummmmm it's.. Kucy4eva

Me: #kucy4eva get it trending on Twitter pls

I can't help but burst into laughter at the password. Kieran and Lucy forever? Seriously?

I enter the password and open up an online chat.

You have added Riannnnnn Ki1122 and Soph_xx to this chat

Chat name changed to '#sopian'

Rian: worst ship name ever

Sophia: Oh wow. That is literally the worst.

I burrow into my sleeping bag and somehow manage to fall asleep.

I wake up in total darkness at about 2:30am halfway down my sleeping bag with my phone vibrating in my ear. I let out a sigh before switching it on.

Kieran: r u awake

I turn towards him to ask why he doesn't just wake me but the sleeping bag is empty.

Me: no I'm fast asleep. Where r u

Kieran: ahh sorry if I woke u

Kieran: by the pool

Me: I can't sleep

Me: can I sit with u

My breath hitches as I press send. Was that too suggestive? I had only been typing what I felt.

Kieran: yh if u want

I make my way through the patio doors and walk to the bottom of the garden where the pool is lit up and I see Kieran sitting alone,

"Hey"

I smile back shyly before taking a seat by his side. "Can't sleep?"

"Bad dreams" Kieran's reply surprises me. He doesn't seem like one to admit to his feelings.

"What about?" I ask, feeling untactfully curious.

"Abandonment. I'm in a room full of people and slowly they fade away, one by one until I'm alone"

We sit in silence for a while and I feel the time slip away so I change the subject.

"When I was younger I used to make a wish at 3am" I blurt out.

Kieran grins at me, holding up his watch. "Better make a wish then"

He holds my gaze and as a church bell chimes in the distance I do the unthinkable.

I kiss Kieran Jones.

A/N: FINALLY #LIERAN HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO WRITE THIS SCENE.
Anywayyys #sopian is an awful ship name and #riaphia is x10 worse. If you have a better ship name drop it in the comments ;)
Also give me your opinion on whether #lieran should become official or if it should stay a secret.
ALSO DONT KILL ME FOR THE UNORIGINAL SURNAMES such as Lilah Lewis, Kieran Jones, Milly Greene, Jess James and Mrs frickin' Henderson
Love you guys and I know I'm not getting as many reads as usual but I love your support :)
