So... I originally had another chapter to post, but I didn't like it so now it's this.
Sorry for the late update! I've just been really lazy... :-/

Maya was on the small couch with a bowl of popcorn on her lap and a blanket haphazardly covering her bottom half as she binge watched the popular show Once Upon A Time. Apparently, the new season was coming in a few days, and Maya refused to watch any new season without watching the ones before. So she lied on the couch, mindlessly stuffing popcorn into her mouth. And occasionally yelling things like "I'm glad you died!" and "You're a horrible person, but I love you Regina! I'm glad you become somewhat good!".
All the while, Lucas was in his room with the door open, hearing Maya munch popcorn and yell. He laughed to himself and stayed on his phone and laptop playing video games. After hearing Maya yell something more out of the ordinary than usual, he decided to go out and ask her about it.
"What, Huckleberry?" Maya asked without looking away from the screen.
"What are you watching? I can hear you yelling from my room," Lucas sat in front of the couch. Maya grabbed the remote to pause the T.V. and sat up with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not sure you would like it... It doesn't have any high noon gun fights or line dancing," she teased.
"Har har. just give me a little summary so I don't think you're more crazy than I already think you are."
"Short version or long version?"
"Doesn't matter," Lucas shrugged.
"I'm giving you short version so I can go back to watching," Maya proceeded to tell Lucas the basics of Once Upon A Time. From Season 1 to half of season 5.
It took Maya a good 10-15 minutes, trying to squeeze every important detail so she could continue watching.
"Wow... Sounds cool," Lucas sat up.
"Wanna watch the rest of this episode with me? I only have like five more episodes to watch since I've watching all yesterday and today," Maya tried sounding nonchalant.
"Sure," Lucas shrugged before Maya patted the area next to her for him to sit. She covered his bottom half with some of the blanket and put the bowl of popcorn in between them.
Maya had to admit, she was seconds away from falling asleep, but she didn't want to miss any second of the remaining episodes. She could tell Lucas was actually enjoying himself and she kinda wanted to keep him watching so they would have something to bond over. But as the last episode started, Maya's head started to wobble and eventually landed on a unnoticing Lucas' shoulder.
After the last episode finished, Lucas was actually kind of sad. He had only had a short summary and the last five episodes of the shows, and he was already attached to it.
"That was a really good show, Maya. Thanks...?" Lucas looked down at his shoulder to find Maya peacefully sleeping away. He didn't want to wake her but at the same time, he didn't know what to do. "Maya?"
She mumbled something along the lines of 'Take me to Storybrooke.' and her head landed in Lucas' lap. Lucas chuckled to himself, moved the bowl of popcorn to his other side, and took the blanket off him and Maya.
"Hey, Shortstack," Lucas cooed while carefully he sat up, not wanting to wake Maya up.
A soft grunt was her response.
"C'mon," was all Lucas said before he scooped Maya up bridal style and carried her into her room. He gingerly set Maya down on her bed and leaned down to kiss Maya's forehead. "Night, Maya."
Maya was a master at acting. Hiding secrets, faking emotions, etc. And Maya always woke up when she heard someone talking to her while she was sleeping.
So when Lucas thought was Maya was sleeping, she woke up and pretended to sleep to see what he would do. To say the least, she was very surprised to be picked up and set on her bed. Maya thought he would just leave her on the couch without a word. And she got a kiss on the forehead? Shock of a lifetime for her.
But it's not like she was complaining. As much as Maya tried to deny it, she had some feelings for Lucas. But come on. Who wouldn't!
But even though she had feelings for him, it didn't mean he had feelings for her. So she kept it for herself. She really didn't want mess up any more relationships. Even though she couldn't help but smile after Lucas left her room.
Too bad it could never happen.
As a peace offering for not updating for so goddamn long, I have already started on the next chapter! Friends again? ^-^ It'll hopefully be up tomorrow...
Love,
