Summary! - Roan and reader meet up in a café (by coincidence) after being high school sweethearts and realising that the feelings never left.

Notes- second person, but you’re following reader! Reader is a person of colour and ‘reader’ is used instead of a name. MIGHT BE CONTINUED ‼️‼️

A/N Haiii!1!1!1!! Anyways I love love love Roan and her music, so imma write a one shot for her, I’ll probably do more tho!

It was another boring, bland day: it was nearly half-past ten as you rushed through the busy city; almost struggling to get to get to your beloved cafe! It was a cat café, around 10 minutes walking distance from your apartment block, quite convenient as the city wasn’t really that big, still, it was the biggest for a local distance. It was nice, people from all walks of life were based here, though it was, sadly, common for racism to happen. After all, you did live in the traditional, part of the States: the south, a hotspot for racism towards people of colour. Still, it has gradually been changing throughout your life; In your childhood acts of racism were common, expected. Whereas now, it was unexpected, but you had gotten used to it, even if you believed that you shouldn’t have to.

Anywho, with a huff, you made it through the stampedes of the city to your beloved café, going to sit in your signature spot. It had gotten to a point where balls of fluff were already waiting on the soft, silky pillows for you. Though, once you ordered, someone else had sat there, disrupting your routine which had been carefully curated over the years, being perfected day by day. You were about to ask them to move, that was before you realised it was an old friend of yours. Chay-Chay. Otherwise known as Chappell Roan, well, that was what the books said or how she said it: the ‘Eugh… the no lifers’.

Chappell could feel the soft-worn leather couches fall slightly, and so a quick look made her realise that her old crush was sitting next to her, though, she knew that the feelings never left. A slight warmth spread across her face as she took a small sip of the milky boba she had sitting on her table.

“Hi…”

She took a small shaky breath before continuing, thinking through what she was going to say next.

“Where were you???”

A small giggle escaped your lips, the redness becoming more prominent by each second, as if she was a ticking time bomb.

“I never left, Chay-Chay, where were you?”

The tension was thick, the both of you could feel it, it felt like someone was looming above the two of you. Though, even that felt like an understatement; to be fair, it didn’t even feel that bad, it was more pleasant than uncomfortable. Pressuring is what it was, like you needed to make a move, now. Not soon, now.

“Touché, I’ve… I’ve been around. I made it you know. I really did.”

She sounded relieved, she had always said that she’d become an independent artist, and most importantly, make it. After all, what else could she have done, it was all she had her heart set on.

And so, the two of you got carried away, talking all about yourselves, and all of your experiences after high school, from the very lows to the very highs. It was clear to anyone who even looked your way that there was some things unsaid that the both of you would benefit from if they actually were said. Love is blind, that would the best way to describe the two of you at the moment as neither could notice the underlying love in the conversation at the moment. The sky started darkening, and you had come to realise that your whole day had dispersed into this singular conversation with the stunning woman in front of you.

“_____ that’s my number.”

“Ah! Thanks, do you wanna hang out some time soon then?”

“I’ll pay for the food, though, don’t worry ‘bout it.”

“…After all, I started this conversation up, didn’t i? And to answer your query, yes, gladly, Chay-Chay.”

You gave Chappell a quick wink before leaving, leaving her alone, just how you met her earlier.

You can see where I got lazy 😭 wtf I’ll probably continue this BUT no promises, love y’all ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜
