compass 🧭 let's just go back to before are you not an actor?
kleptomaniac 🥷 no fr
psycho 🔫 i mean, she talks to me like i'm just someone she works with
i didn't do it ⬆️ you have a point, but she talks to everyone like that, even jd
nerd 🧑🏾🏫 i can't believe i'm about to help you get with sage but you've been pining over her for a month and it's getting sad now
when she's in her 'director mode' she's not going to act like how she is with us off-set
this is a massive deal for her and she doesn't want to mess it up
psycho 🔫 oh, that makes sense
nerd 🧑🏾🏫

kleptomaniac 🥷 you're a idiot drew
nerd 🧑🏾🏫 at the end of the day i can't stop you, but if you rlly like her and want something to happen, do it quick bc sage gets bitches and now she's single someone will go for her
i didn't do it ⬆️ in conclusion, drew put your big boy pants on and ask her out on a date already message liked by kleptomaniac 🥷 and compass 🧭

real life
the obx boys were at rudy and jd's apartment, watching a basketball game. drew was in the kitchen by himself standing against the counter nursing his only beer for the night as they were filming the next day. it had been one week since the group had encouraged drew to ask out sage but every time he was about to approach her on set he'd get too anxious and couldn't do it.
he was also worried that jd wouldn't be happy if he asked out his cousin, after all, every time sage was brought up jd would immediately shut it down except for last week's conversation. regardless, he wanted to make sure jd was on board, seeing as though the two cousins were very close.
jd walked into the kitchen, giving a nod to drew as he opened the fridge getting another drink.
"hey, can we talk?"
"yea sure, what about?" jd closed the fridge and walked around the island to stand next to him
"i wanted to get your go ahead to ask out sage, i feel like you aren't on board."
"i mean this isn't the 1950s, you don't need my permission but sure man, i appreciate you coming to me. i'm alright with the idea of you two now. just be patient with her, treat her right and we'll be fine."
"also don't talk about stuff you do with her, it's gross to hear." jd laughed
drew let out a breath "okay, good i was worried you'd be mad at me."
jd took a swig of his drink "i was annoyed at first, my friend liking my cousin, but then it just became pointless, also sage is stubborn, if she wants something there's nothing that will stop her, i mean look at her, now she's directing our show."
he took a breath before continuing "if you tell anyone this i'll deny it, but i like the idea of you and sage, so you have my blessing." he made air bunnies at blessing
"thanks man, i think i'm gonna do it now"
jd raised his eyebrows "boys, drew's actually gonna ask sage out on a date soon"
rudy jumped up from his seat and stumbled into the kitchen, the rest of the boys following him and congratulated drew, slapping him on the back
"so when are you gonna do it?" austin asked
drew ran his hand down his face "maybe now? i need to rip the band aid off before i start overthinking."
chase went on his phone "ok she literally just posted something on her story so dm her whilst she's still active"
drew ran to the couch where his phone currently was, rudy close behind and rushed to open instagram, clicking on her story
he turned his head to look at the boys, all lightly buzzed mixed with a look of excitement, like puppies. "what should i say?" he started to panic
"be direct and short, that way you're being completely transparent with what you want, girls love that." chase said
"yeah you know all about that wouldn't you mr relationship expert" jd pointed out and the boys stifled their laughter
chase blushed and punched jd in the arm "this isn't about me and mads, this is about drew and sage and getting them together finally." jd winced whilst rubbing his arm and punched chase back
"so true, ok in this situation i think simplicity is key" austin added, directing the conversation back to the matter at hand
"what about 'would you like to come over tomorrow at around 6?' "
chase scrunched his face "i don't know man, it seems like you aren't too sure of it, pass me your phone for a sec"
drew reluctantly gave chase his phone, he wanted the message to be perfect, so he could get the girl he's loved ever since that one night in 2017. chase handed the phone back revealing a very short and brief message
my house, tomorrow at 6pm (i'm taking you out)
"that's good, direct, you've made your intentions clear." austin nodded his head, satisfied with the text, the rest of the boys were nodding as well, happy with it
"ok, i've sent it" drew got up and started pacing, leaving his phone on the couch on vibrate
buzz buzz
the tall boy ran to his phone almost falling over his feet
new message from sagefranklin
it's a date
he started grinning like a cheshire cat, flipping his phone so the other boys could see it. austin popped a bottle of champagne, letting it spray rudy who had his mouth open trying to drink it, chase and jd had their arms around each other's shoulders jumping up and down happy that 'operation sew' was almost completed.
author's note:
ok finally, now there's gonna be a lot more of sage and drew together maybe someone else as well
