❝ stanky ass leg ❞
( real life + social media )

✶ IRL!

"matt, maybe if you stopped driving at the speed of a fucking tortoise, WE COULD GET OUT OF HERE."

"ruben, the only reason you're judging my driving right now is because i actually follow the laws. STOP YELLING."

"EXCUSE ME? i—"

destiny let's out a sigh as she leans back in her seat, the screaming in the car having not died down since they picked ruben up. destiny and ruben have taken the middle seats while adora, nick, and nate sit in the far back seats. chris has taken his usual place in passenger, of course.

see, they're currently stuck in this full as hell mcdonald's parking lot because they had the excellent idea of getting food only to realize no one brought their wallet.

the energy in the car is high and destiny feels like she's going to lose her mind. needing something to focus on, she leans forward to reach for the aux cord chris isn't grateful for having. it's connected to his phone but the same song is going on to play for the third time, making destiny's ears bleed.

she looks over to him to see what's occupying his time and resists a roll of her eyes when she sees him on snapchat, or better yet, all the girls on his recents. he's literally scrolling through deciding which to answer to, making destiny side eye him even though he's not looking at her.

he's literally like any other teenage guy, this whole thing would be so much easier if she could just get the ick. it's like chris has some sort of ick repellent though, because in all the years destiny has spent loving him, he's never done anything bad enough to scare her away.

she sighs and finally just reaches forward, yanking on the aux cord and snatching it from him with no warning. his head instantly snaps around and he looks to her in offense. "des, the fuck?"

"chris, my ears are going to bleed if i have to listen to wicked games one more time," she tells him blankly, ignoring the way he rolls his eyes and turning on her phone to pull up her own spotify.

"i thought you liked the weeknd," he says with a huff, catching her attention again.

she pauses, looking up to him. "i do..." she says first, giving him a skeptical look before continuing on. "but not when you let the same song play repeatedly."

"whatever," he sighs, blowing air from his lips and looking back to his phone. "i've got more important things to worry about."

her face scrunches up and she looks back to her phone screen. "ew."

she thinks the conversation is finished when she plays congratulations by mac miller and sets her phone down on the console, but chris turns his phone off and snaps his head around at her yet again. "ew?" he repeats, giving her a narrow of his eyes that makes her sigh deeply. "there's no shame in the game, des."

"do you even hear yourself right now?" she gives him a blank look. "calling it the game is crazy."

he shrugs. "seems like there's some shame in your game."

"my game?" she repeats questionably, giving him a 'what the fuck' look. "chris, why are you speaking in riddles..."

chris chuckles, not being able to help it anymore. he shakes his head amusedly for a moment before sighing, "i mean," he pauses for a second. "you can't shame me for having hoes when you have hoes yourself, dumbass."

"woaaaah," her eyes instantly widen as she takes offense. "yes, i can." she crosses her arms over her chest. "at least i don't make it my entire personality," she huffs.

"oh, what was that, des?" he raises his eyebrows at her, sitting up more in his seat so he can turn his body to face her more. "it is not my entire personality."

"alright sure," she agrees sarcastically. "like you're not literally the exact definition of hot and stupi—"

"yeah, des? hot and stupid?" he interrupts her as a smirk begins to grow on his face. her eyebrows furrow for a moment before she realizes her word choice and suddenly, her cheeks feel a little hot. "so you think i'm hot?" he accuses her, which only makes his smirk grow because hello? he literally already knows the answer to that. "oh wait," he then adds on, giving her a knowing tilt of his head that makes her want to die right then and there.

she slowly presses her lips together, narrowing her eyes at his smug expression. she reaches her for phone on the console and unplugs it from the aux cord, his eyebrows raising at her as she just leans back to her seat. "you can have aux back."

"mhm," he hums, not bothering to hide his amusement. he looks back at her as she sits back in her seat and gives her a lopsided grin that unfortunately melts her insides. "thanks dessy."

fighting her flustered state, she raises her middle finger to him. all he responds with is a roll of his eyes before turning around in his seat and taking back the aux cord.

she looks out her window, trying to focus on something other than chris, when she feels a new pair of eyes on her. she turns her head curiously and widens her eyes when she finds ruben giving her a side eye. she hadn't realized he and matt had stopped their bickering. she clears her throat.

when ruben goes on to begin squinting at her, she sighs deeply. "what?" she snaps, lowering her voice and leaning over to him.

"you still want him," he accuses.

"i....." destiny trails off before sighing. "and what about it?" she no longer denies. ruben instantly gapes at her and she cringes at his shocked stare. "leave me alone! it's a process."

"you make me sick," he tells her with a shake of his head, causing her to roll her eyes. "i hope you're feeling the disappointment of a father from me right now."

"not even close, rube," she clicks her tongue, leaning back to her original seat. "thanks though."

ruben just sighs exasperatedly, slouching back in his seat and crossing his arms over his chest. "guys i'm so hungry," he complains loudly, making everyone groan. "can't we go to a gas station or something?"

"what a great idea, ruben!" nick says brightly, leaning forward in his seat and giving ruben an enthusiastic smile that makes him raise his eyebrows. after a beat of silence, the smile instantly drops and he yells, "WE HAVE NO MONEY."

destiny begins chuckling at nicks anger as ruben scoffs in offense, raising his voice as well because well... he's himself. "WELL, I FORGOT!" he yells back. "THERE'S NO NEED TO YELL?"

"YOU'RE YELLING RIGHT NOW?"

"BECAUSE YOU STARTED—"

"GUYS." an even louder voice manages to cut both of them off, a calming silence spreading over the car that makes matt, who was the person who yelled, sigh of relief. he doesn't say anything as he finally just gives up on exiting this ridiculously packed parking lot and parks in one of the empty places left. he slowly turns around in his seat and exhales a large breath. "everyone calm down. we'll order pizza after we get out of this fucking mcdonald's. everything is fine."

everyone simultaneously nods their heads, grateful for matt being a sane person in this situation. nick though, nick claps his hands together. "actually matt, everything is not fine," he tells him pointedly. "i need to piss."

"wait because me too..." adora speaks up as well, causing matt to groan loudly. "like actually."

"guys you realize with how packed the parking lot is, it means that the inside is going to be even worse, right?" he asks them with a blank look.

adora rolls her eyes. "we can not help our bladder, matt," she says flatly.

"yeah, MATT," nick agrees pointedly, glaring at his brother.

"okay whatever," he sighs deeply, not fighting this anymore. he turns around in his seat fully and looks around. "who all is going inside?"

when every single person in the car raises their hand, matt nearly takes the car out of park and crashes it. "i hate you all."

"field trip!" chris cheers all girlishly, making destiny giggle.

everyone begins making their way out of the car but since destiny knows it always takes everyone in the back forever to climb out, she unbuckles her seatbelt and opens her door but stays in her seat. when chris and matt get out, they both come over to destiny's open door so she turns to face them. ruben comes walking over to them after a moment too. "i'm feeling so silly right now guys," he tells them with a grin on his face.

matt rolls his eyes. "you're always feeling silly, ruben."

unlike matt, destiny grins amusedly at rubens mood. she pulls her phone out and looks to him. "do the stanky leg right now, you won't," she challenges him.

matt and chris both share a look and while matt just shakes his head, chris chuckles. "oh girl don't try me," ruben takes offense in her not believing him and... begins doing the stanky leg.

"YEAHHH," destiny cheers with a giggle, holding the button down on snapchat to record him as he does so. chris covers his mouth with his hand.

"des, you are wayyy too excited about some stanky ass leg," chris tells her with a chuckle.

"chris, i literally—"

"why is ruben..."

"oh..." ruben slowly removes his hand from his leg and clears his throat as he now notices nick, adora, and nate approaching them. destiny tries not to piss herself with laughter but as soon as she makes eye contact with chris and finds him doing the same, the two slap their hands over their mouths and look away. "hey guys..."

"why were you just getting jiggy with no shame..." nate asks the boy questionably, amusement clearly written all over his face as he comes to stand next to a laughing chris.

"and in a mcdonald's parking lot..." nick adds on with a shake of his head. "i am actually so genuinely concerned about your well-being, ruben."

"stop." he covers his face in his hands and destiny just chuckles to herself. she finally climbs out of her seat and shuts the door behind her, resting her hands on her hips once she's stood. ruben uncovers his face and crosses his arms. "okay enough, let's just go in."

"say less," adora exclaims, grinning and turning on her heels to begin heading right across the parking lot.

nate though, and the rest of their friend group that isn't blind, spots the car coming through the parking lot and quickly yanks adora back with the hood on the back of her jacket to stand with them. adora looks to him in surprise until a car quickly comes driving by them and her eyes widen. "yeah," he says, looking over at her with a sigh. "try not to kill yourself maybe?"

"that was literally the cars fault, not mine!" she tells him pointedly even though everyone here knows the truth. nate just rolls his eyes.

"maybe let's be mature adults and look both ways before crossing the road!" nick suggests, clapping his hands together as he walks over to see if any cars are coming.

"mature adults is crazy," matt murmurs under his breath. he is just so done with today already.

"enough, matt. it's time to cross the road!" nick exclaims, calling the group over with the wave of his hand. the group all follow behind him and begin crossing the road to get to the building like ducklings.

"so does everyone just need to piss or..." chris speaks up questionably as they walk.

"no... i just thought it'd be fun?" destiny answers him, slightly unsure but just going with it.

"same," chris looks at her and grins. "we're always on the same page, des."

"mhm," she hums, ignoring the sinking feeling in her heart as she's beginning to think she's going to be stuck pining over him forever.

she adjusts the necklace resting in between her collarbones—a nervous habit. she really needs to move on, she thinks...
