Armando's POV: --- A janitor. I have to be a janitor for the next days until we find Y/N's stalker. As much as I want to figure out who's behind all of this, I wish Rita would've chosen a more better-smelling disguise.

Last night I had to sleep over at Dorn's until Mike got protection around his house. Sleeping over at Dorn's was like a nightmare induced fever dream.

We had weenies in taco shells for lunch. Watched all of his favorite movies. Weenies in taco shells for dinner. And then went to bed. When I woke up we had weenies in taco shells for breakfast and watched some morning show.

A man can only take too many weenies in taco shells.

Over all, never want to do it again. I got into my disguise and had Dorn place cameras underneath it so he's be able to watch my every move. Marcus and Mike already told me that they're in their positions and ready for me to come in. ——— Y/N's POV: I walked into the school with my water bottle in my left hand and my backpack snugged over my shoulder. I shoot a look over at Mike who was in an unrecognizable disguise in the exact position he told me that he'd be in.

"We got this Y/N!," Arthur says to me making me move my eyes right back to his. "You already know we ace every single project we have," He tells me with a slight squint in his eyes.

"You're completely right. Mrs. Beline sucks though, remember when she made us write two essays on the importance of punctuation just because we forgot a comma in our presentation?", I remind him.

"Now that was just weird of her," Arthur begins.

"Tell me about it," I say back, half listening to him as he rants about the newest Star Wars light saber he got. I slyly look around trying to find Armando in his disguise. I missed him last night and barely got any sleep without him by me. Wow, I'm whipped.

"Sooooo, you weren't at the "night in the park" show? The astronomers showed us a constellation and everything," Arthur tells me.

"Oh... uhm I'm sorry Arthur. I forgot, slipped my mind," I explain. Did it sleep my mind? Yes. Did I purposely let it slip my mind? Also yes. I looked around for Mel now, my best friend.

"It's whatever. You're busy with your dad and stuff. That whole entire "most wanted" sitch was crazy," Arthur begins. "I don't know what's more stupider how long the chase was or how he was harboring a good for nothing fugitive," Arthur continues with a loud laugh.

I stop dead in my tracks as we find our seats in the classroom. "A good for nothing fugitive" I repeated in my head. Did I hear him correctly?

"What did you say?" I ask Arthur again.

"No shade thrown towards your dad and stuff. But come on, such a low blow on his behalf," Arthur continues while scratching at the long scar drawn on his arm.

"How about you stop talking," I say to him rudely.

"Come on Y/N, you know I didn't mean it that way," Arthur says back.

"How'd you mean it then?," I ask. Arthur continues to stay quiet, scratching at his scar again.

"Where'd you get that scar from again?" I ask. I notice Arthur's eyes widen a few, he looks down at the scar and back at me almost ever so quickly.

"You know how I dog sit for my parents golden retriever. He sometimes gets excited and just... you know jumps on me. They forgot to cut his nails down," Arthur responds back stuttering.

Lame excuse but whatever. I nod my head while listening admiring the deep scar. On the exact same arm as my stalker.

"Might wanna get that checked, does your dog have all oh his shots?," I pester.

"My parent's dog," Arthur corrects.

"My question still stands," I state.

"Yeah, I think he does. But not the point, let's finish up our project," Arthur ends, swiftly changing the subject. He pulls out his laptop and adjusts his glasses. I notice a small chip on the frame. ——— Armando's POV:

I run a hand over my face listening to the two old heads argue from "if my dad treated Marcus's sister well" to now "who ate the last cupcake?" Spoiler, it was me. The weenies in taco shells were driving me nuts.

I walk over to the nearest trash can out of their peripheral view and take off my disguise except for the hat. Everything else goes into the trash can. I run into the nearest elevator hitting the 5th floor listening to the quiet elevator music playing.

Being a free man is rewarding but I still have to lay low. The elevator door dings and opens up snapping me out of my thoughts. I turn off my camera and walk outside into a hallway.

"Where to next," I say to myself. I rub my hands on my jeans while looking around. What's the fastest route to a perfect view of Y/N?

"WHERE IS ARMANDO?" I hear who I think is Dorn's voice yell into the mic. I run and climb up a ladder breaking the vent that lays on top of the ceiling.

Moving ever so quickly while they discuss where I could be, I successfully climb into the vent, closing it behind me and crawling through the dust and spiderwebs. I gotta get somewhere.

"He was just with us!," Mike (my dad) says. "Fuck!," He yells out.

"See! This is all your fault. You don't know how to keep track of your women or your kids," Marcus begins. "I'm surprised Armando don't got a twin brother already," He continues.

"I'm a married man Marcus, I've given up that life," Mike banters back. The men yell back and forth until Kelly cuts them both off.

"WOULD YOU GUYS JUST FIND HIM ALREADY?," She yells.

"He ditched his camera, damn it!," Dorn says.

I turn the volume more down and quickly maneuver my way throughout the vent. I peer through each one I come across to only find empty classrooms or bathrooms. I sit back against the tight walls and think for a moment.

"She has biology first," I say out loud to myself remembering how I memorized Y/N's entire school schedule. "Biology in room....," I think while running a free hand through my hair.

"Fuck," I say to myself.

"I think I've found a location," Kelly says after moments of silence. I hop up from against the wall and quickly crawl through the vents.

"Room.... 328? No.... Room," I say to myself still moving quicker and quicker. "Room..." I continue.

"Where is Armando?" Mike whispers yells making me snap out of my trance.

"I don't know! He was just right here!" Marcus yells back but louder.

"Wait! Maybe he's in the bathroom?" Dorn suggests.

"Yet he ditched all of his clothes?" Mike counters while looking into the nearest trash can residing all of my disguise.

"Maybe he's... I don't know! showering...?" Dorn suggests again. Mike and Marcus share an annoyed glance dedicated to Dorn.

"Dorn, whenever you open your mouth you never fail to amaze me with your awful ideas," Marcus tells him. "Your parents should be proud," Marcus continues sarcastically.

"Look I'm trying! Babe tell them I'm trying," Dorn yells defensively.

"I seriously can't do this right now Dorn" Kelly says, equally as annoyed as the men. "Armando's location is saying that he's high up and I have no clue what that means," She says out loud.

"High up?," Marcus and Mike question while looking up towards the nearest vent.

Armando continues his path through the vents until he hears a teacher welcome their class with the loud slam of a book. ——— Y/N's POV:

"Hello class! Welcome to Biology 101 everyone. Today is not a very strict schedule, we will just be presenting and then reviewing our peer critiques plus grades will be released. Before we begin any questions?" Mrs. Beline asks us.

The classroom answers with an in sync mutter of no's. Mrs. Beline gives us a forced smile and announces the first presentation.

My phone suddenly dings once the first group begins their boring monologue. I look over at Arthur who just finished downloading our presentation to the USB port. I look down at my phone and pull up the message.

(pretend the date says Jan 6th!!! 😭 ) —————————— Y/N's POV:

"What?," I say to myself.

"What's up?," Arthur asks, pulling him from the sight of his laptop.

"Nothing!," I answer quickly. Arthur gives me a soft weird look and goes back to his laptop. I slowly raise my head up towards the vent above my head and see the hinges moving. "What is he up to?" I whisper to myself.

"Got a location!," Kelly says in Armando's ear piece.

"What are you doing?," I mouth to Armando who has just successfully managed to open the vent.

"You," He says with a smirk.

"Bathroom. Now!," I mouth. He gives me a sly wink and closes up the vent. I look over to Arthur who is putting his laptop away and taking out his notebooks. I swiftly raise my hand and am called on.

"Yes, Ms. Burnett?" Mrs. Beline says.

"May I use the restroom please?," I ask her making sure it's in the sweetest manners.

"Yes, you may. Please be quick and remember what your passing periods should be used for," Mrs. Beline answers with another fake smile and eye roll.

"Bitch," I say under my breath. "Of course!," I say louder and head for the door with my phone in hand. I open the door and head to the nearest family bathroom.

"Hey," Armando says.

"How did you get to the bathroom so quickly?," I ask him confused after sharing a small kiss.

"I move quick hermosa," Armando answers.

"Armando you shouldn't be here, what happened to the game plan?," I ask. Instead of him answering me, he takes off his ear piece and puts it into my ear. I hear Kelly and Marcus going back and forth over where Armando is. "You ran off?," I yell louder than expected.

"You have no idea on how boring being a janitor is," Armando says. "Plus I missed you," He continues.

"I miss you too Mando but still," I say back.

"Then shouldn't be up for debate," Armando counters while looking around the spacious bathroom.

"Armando, I have presentations and you need to get back to figuring out who my mystery stalker is," I tell him.

"It's obviously your ex," He answers.

"We don't know that for a fact!," I say to him. He shakes his head disagreeing and leans against the bathroom door. "Plus... well... I don't know," I continue, shrugging off the fact that Arthur has the same scar that I gave my stalker.

"How did you sleep last night?," I ask, breaking the comfortable silence.

"Alright, Dorn was on the couch last night so I had the entire bed to myself. Still could barely sleep," Armando tells me. I slightly laugh at the thought of him moving Dorn out of his own room.

"Nightmares?" I ask.

"Yeah," He answers bluntly.

"They'll get better, I promise you," I remind him. "You're the strongest person I know," I continue while walking closer to his placement against the wall.

"Crazy how I don't get them when I'm with you," Armando starts. "Out of all of my months spent at prison and the first night I'm with you they magically stop," He ends.

"I just have that affect," I say cheekily to him as our bodies move nearer to each other.

"Trust me I know," He returns with the same energy. The glint in his eyes sparkle and our lips meet.

"I have class!!," I say but my lips never remove from his.

"You don't have just a little spare time for me?," He asks while picking me up and placing me onto the bathrooms sink.

"Maybe just a little," I say while reconnecting our lips.

His hands move down my body as the kiss deepens more roughly. "Fuck, I love you," Armando whispers through kisses.

"I love-," I start before I'm cut off by a loud banging at the door.

"Y/N!," Arthur yells.

"Uh oh," I say to Armando.

"Found him! Bathroom on floor level 5!" Dorn announces. ——— Let me know if you guys want a chapter solely based off of "Armando x Y/N's" text!!!
