written by nat!
maple syrup, the backseat lovers
❝ your purple sweater's sitting in my room.
i tried to wear it, but i knew that it
would smell like you. ❞
* 𓈒 𓂅ﾟ WHICH...
JULES BARDOT and MATT
STURNIOLO met at the beginning of
high school and have been best friends
ever since. swearing that nothing, not
even themselves, could come between
their friendship. it was an unspoken
oath that had been put in place between
them.
ALTERNATIVELY, IT WAS rather
odd that neither one of them had ever
looked at anyone else in the last six years.
no boyfriend, no girlfriend, no crushes.
that is until now, after some rando waltzed
into their lives,bringing distraction to matt
and jules otherwise peaceful friendship.
one thing leads to another, and it's like
their unspoken rule was mangled and
then rotted.
JULES SWEARS SHE kept that oath,
and so does matt. but if that's the case,
why did they fall apart?

nat's notes !
01. this is a work of fiction, meaning that idk these people personally, so im not gonna get all their personalities 100% correct 100% of the time!
02. this fic contains the following trigger warnings including vulgar language, anxiety, drinking (by mc like once.), and anything i'm missing will be addressed at the beginning of each chapter.
03. i was listening to matts playlist (as one does) and maple syrup comes on and im listening to the lyrics and WHY do they all perfectly fit here...?? anyways jules and matt are also VERY DWLLRS coded :D
04. disclaimer that the fcs used in this fic are just face claims. this isn't how i see any of these people, nor do i wish to do anything other than simply use them as a face claim :) that being said if anyone in this fic says they're uncomfortable with it, i will with no hesitation take it down.
05. thank you for reading up til here!! i love you and hope you enjoy the fic!! 🫶
