Groggily you look out the window, halfway asleep due to the lack of rest from the previous night. You were FaceTiming Tommy again. Your talks always seemed to go on and on, never talking about anything in particular. Tommy was your best friend, and naturally everything came easy with him.

Outside was enveloped in a cloudy mist, the perfect weather! Reluctantly you changed into your school uniform and slid on one of your many oversized sweatshirts. Heading downstairs you saw your cat Dax, he purred and let you scratch his head before returning to his former state of sleep.

Your mom was in the kitchen with breakfast, she didn't greet you as you came in but that was just your way of loving each other. You didn't need words, her eyes said good morning and you smiled back at her. You quite enjoyed the serenity of a quiet misty morning in the late fall. After eating your breakfast you said a quick thanks to your mom and headed upstairs to get your backpack, and other things. With 5 minutes to kill you head to Twitter, Tommy posted a picture captioned, "Just killed a woman's sleep schedule, feelin good!! POG" the picture was our call last night, going until almost 4 am. Smiling at the thought of your best friend, you commented, " who's to say I don't already stay up that late gremlin child" and put away your phone after Tommy tweeting almost instantly about you calling him a child. Something about you being the same age. You chuckled to yourself and headed to the front door.

You saw his place a few houses down and you started smiling. Happy to be back to what was like your second home.

Your mom had already brought your things for the road trip over earlier in the day so you could just go straight there.

A familiar smell of vanilla and lilac drifted into your lungs as you stepped inside. You had always loved the smell of his home, it was... cozy. Plus it reminded you of your favorite person in the world. I bet you can guess who that is.

After making some small talk with his mom, you walked up the burgundy staircase to his room, and walked in to see him setting up his stream and posting a tweet about him going live.

"Need any help?" You asked knowing he knew more about streaming than you ever would.

" ha, you just have to sit there and look pretty," he joked, pressing the go live button. A timer appeared on his screen counting down the time until his face cam turned on and he started the real stream.

You chuckled at him and flopped down on the bed, just out of sight of the camera. It's not that you didn't like being on his stream, you were all the time. But it was that you wanted his viewers to see the person that they came there to see. Which was Tommy!

He ran downstairs a second later and brought up two cokes, he handed you one of them. For whatever reason he was obsessed with them and drank them everyday. Talk about poor health. But it was okay, after all coke was one of your favorite drinks in the whole world, second only to root beer of course.

A second later you saw the camera switch on and heard the infamous, "SUP CHAT!"

45 minutes later

Tommy was now playing Among Us with some of the others, talking to his chat periodically. You had never bothered to learn how to play, but today you were trying to focus and learn the controls. After a few minutes you noticed you had drifted pretty close to Tommy and decided to just lay your head on the back of his chair.

"If you want me to teach you you can just ask you know" Tommy said grinning.

"Oh, haha, yeah. I've never actually played before" you said shrugging."

After he finished that game got up and motioned for you to sit in his chair. You sat down and he pulled up a chair right next to you. Telling you a few of the controls. As the game started the word impostor, in red letters flashed across the screen. Your eyes widened as you realized you had only ever seen tommy play as crew mate.

He leaned in closer as if to get ready to play. You hesitantly started on the controls and walked around faking some tasks. In electrical you saw Wilbur and tried to click the kill button, only to vent directly in front of him. You let out a small gasp, and Tommy wrapped his fingers around yours and clicked the keyboard for you. Venting to medbay and killing Wilbur right before he could hit the emergency button. Then running away to navigation.

The game proceeded and Tommy never let go of your hands. Even when you were comfortable with how to do it. And to be honest, you didn't really mind.

The game ended and a sign that said victory popped across the screen. You smiled and hugged Tommy for a quick second before pulling away and letting him play again.

You could tell will was yelling through the headphones, but you couldn't tell what he was saying. Figuring it was probably better that way you plopped back on the bed and stayed there until he finished up the stream.

As he was about to end he pulled you over to say goodbye to his stream. The chat was filled with simps and awes.

"GUYS! What did I say about awwing in my chat? That's right, I said not to. Plus you can't even say awe, she is my best friend."

We said our final goodbyes as he raided another streamer and turned off his pc.

He sighed after jumping onto the bed next to you. His voice immediately changed from his loud streaming voice, to his regular soft voice. You two lay there and watch his small fan whir around on the ceiling. Talking about the coming days, and what all you had packed. It was nice to have a friend as good as Tommy, he listened even when you had something stupid to say, and never cut you off if you had a thought.

After a few minutes of silence, he suggested you watch a movie. He ran downstairs and brought up a few choices. All of them being horror movies. He knew you got scared easily but insisted on watching them anyways.

At random he chose a movie and started playing it. The two of you got under his covers and started watching the screen closely. Within 15 minutes you were already scared, but trying not to show it. It was dead silent and you could sense a jump scare coming. Even though you predicted it coming you jumped really high, your face draining all color. Tommy laughed at you, but as soon as he realized you were seriously terrified he pulled you into a close hug.

"Hey, hey. Look at me." He said, looking into your scared eyes, "I've got you, Y/n, I promise nothing will ever hurt you as long as I have something to say about it." And he pulled you in closer.

Towards the end of the movie you got really scared, and hid your face in his chest. He pulled you in and softly played with your hair. Sending a wave of butterflies all throughout your body. That was something that best friends did right? They comforted each other when they were scared. Even if it wasn't you didn't care. All you thought of in that moment was Tommy. And that was all you thought about until you drifted into a deep slumber, still snuggled into his chest.

You woke up to Tommy's phone alarm going off. And reached to turn it off. Today was the day and you were so excited to get going. Tommy wasn't yet awake. You slightly pushed away from him trying to escape his hold, he woke up and clutched you closer to his body. "You can't leave yet. I'll miss you too much" he mumbled in his morning voice.

You never noticed it a whole lot but man was Tommy cute when he was tired.

Eventually you both got up and got ready. You put on a graphic tshirt and some ripped jeans, while he put on his classic shirt, a sweatshirt, and a pair of sweatpants.

After you ate a small breakfast, you looked outside to see wilbur drive up in a large white van. If you didn't know who he was, it would totally seem like he was going to kidnap you.

You ran downstairs with Tommy and threw your things into the trunk greeting Wilbur and the others.

Everyone was ecstatic as you started to drive to your first stop. Will was in the front seat along with Niki. Dream, Sapnap, and George were on the next row. Then it was you, tubbo, and Tommy in the backseat. They forced you to be in the middle because you were a girl. It didn't really matter though because you were sitting by your two favorite people.

After checking to make sure everyone's seat belts were buckled Wilbur shouted, "First stop, THE BEACH!" followed by a thunderous amount of cheers and applause

A/n this one was long sorry guys :)
