Gvardrail - Fear Less

dj takes the wine from her, taking a sip. he doesn't really like wine that much, admittedly, but he's not about to refuse something maya's offering him. he takes a second sip for good measure before handing it back to her with a chuckle, "i would love to see ya officiate. i feel like you'd have a really good opening monologue. or sermon? i guess it isn't a sermon if you're not a priest or something." his cheeks redden a bit and he shrugs, "y'know what i mean anyway." he feels like he's usually a little more charming than this, or, at least, a little smoother. he's trying to reign in the nervous energy, especially now that he's standing so close, he's afraid it's oozing off of him, affecting the vibe. "really nice, huh? what's that look like? getting you refills every half hour? carrying your shoes when your feet start to hurt?" he teases, recovering his 'cool' just a little, he thinks. "dom told you i was voted 'most helpful' in our frat, right?" dj jokes. his superlative had actually been 'best at keg stands,' but that was a skill better suited for the bachelor party a few weeks back. "you're barely gonna believe what a good personal assistant i can be." for maya, anyway. for anyone else? the effort wouldn't be quite as strong, that's for sure.

HIS SMILE . it makes her entire brain feel like it's restarting for a second . she remembers the very first time he smiled at her - dj was always one of dom's only friends that would actually say hi to her , ask her how her day was . it made her flustered then , and she's trying not to show it ( HE ) still has that effect on her . maya lets out an easy laugh , noting the way he glances her over . self-consciously , she pushes some of her blow-dried curls over her shoulder . she'd be lying if she said she hadn't purposely tried to look a little bit nicer for tonight . the dress code was ' casual smart ' and maya spent hours poring over what that could mean before settling on a tight turtleneck and matching black skirt . maya's smile brightens more , eyes falling to his mouth for a second , just as her back gently falls to the wall behind her . DJ IS CLOSE . maya can smell his expensive cologne . she busies herself by taking another sip of wine , before offering some to dj . " that's what i've been saying . i should be the one marrying them or something equally as important . " maya laughs , cheeks colouring . " just a bridesmaid , though . " dom's fiancee , lucy , picked her best friend for maid of honour which maya cannot truly be remotely mad at . " responsibility , huh ? they gave it to the right guy . " she teases . " if you're really nice to me tonight , i may be convinced to help you with some of that uber responsibility , you know . . "

someone let me play a cute young nanny working for a single dad who is just in over his head, and she loves the kids, and they love her, but she’s taking online classes to eventually become a teacher which means she’d have to leave them, and the kids hate that idea so they beg their dad to marry her, not fully understanding what that means. give me an age gap that makes them both think they can’t have the other, even though they both do. pleasseeee
