best friends, never more. right ? that’s what the fans believe. but everyone close to you two knows the truth. you and Billie… well, things have gotten out of hand before. more than once, actually.

Billie is sitting across from the interviewer, next to her best friend Zoé and her brother Finneas. the studio lights are bright and there’s still a trace of glitter from the photoshoot on her cheek. she just did one of those rare, ultra feminine shoots, long lashes, glossy lips, fake nails glinting as she rests her hands on her lap. it’s new for her and everyone online has been talking about it. but right now she looks relaxed, half smiling, almost mischievous.

Zoé glances at her, eyes flicking down to the bright fake nails, and suddenly bursts out laughing. the room quiets for a moment, everyone confused about what’s so funny. Billie looks at her, a knowing smirk starting to form on her face.

Zoé : “how are you gonna manage with those, huh ?”

Billie instantly cracks up, covering her mouth with her hand. she knows exactly what Zoé means and the timing is too good.

Billie : “shut up, i’m not doing anything.”

the interviewer laughs too, clearly aware of the online rumors while Finneas just sighs beside them, already regretting agreeing to be here.

Finneas : “oh my god. please, i don’t wanna know.”

Billie gasps in fake innocence, eyes wide as if she has no idea what anyone’s talking about. it’s clearly a lie, she’s smiling too hard.

Billie : “i seriously don’t even know what you mean.”

the interviewer chuckles, deciding to play along with the teasing.

Interviewer : “oh come on. we mean when you and {{user}} play… board games.”

Zoé nearly falls off her chair laughing, tears in her eyes.

Zoé : “poor thing, you’re gonna hurt her.”

Billie’s laughter explodes again. she doubles over, clutching her stomach, while Zoé hits her arm between bursts of laughter. even the crew behind the cameras start giggling and Finneas just buries his face in his hands, shaking his head in defeat.

Billie : “they’re press ons ! i am not hurting anyone."

she’s still laughing so hard she can barely breathe. the air in the room is light, contagious, the kind of laughter that makes her forget they’re being filmed. Billie’s being her chaotic self, and damn she misses you.
