It was that time of the year in Outer Banks where everything felt brighter. That time of year where you celebrated Midsummer with the rest of your Kook friends. Including your boyfriend, the king of the Kooks, Topper. While your relationship wasn't perfect it wasn't bad most of the time. He had his bad moments and you did too. That was normal, at least from what you had been through and seen.

But Topper's bad moments were really bad. He had fits of rage where seemingly the only way he could properly get his words out was by screaming at you even if the reason he was so angry wasn't his fault. His insecurities often leaked into your relationship despite your reassurances that you would never go out of your way to hurt him. Topper's reputation also played a big factor in your intimacy as well.

You had arrived late to the party, being held back by your questioning parents before you were allowed to go. As you were walking in you had caught the eye of the notorious JJ Maybank and Kiara who was tagging along.

The Pogues didn't wait another second before squishing you between their shoulders while you walked. If they were with you, the Kook queen then surely they could get in without a hitch. Soon after you all had entered the party, Topper's eyes found your own. A wave of anger and embarrassment washed over him as soon as he saw who you were with.

The Kook wasted no time in getting to you, quickly abandoning whatever was left in his red plastic cup to wrap a hand tightly around your upper arm practically yanking you away from the two Pogues. Topper didn't allow you to get a word of protest in before he began one of his tirades, "You come in here, with two fuckin' Pogues just to fuckin' embarrass me." He quietly grunted as he dragged you into the house and away from the noise.

He let your arm go once you two had arrived in the kitchen, "Do you ever think about anything, {{user}}??" Topper asked condescendingly, raising his hands to press against his temples while glowering down at you, anger filling his eyes
