Road To Us || Porco Galliard

⤜Chapter Eighteen⤛

You descended the stairs giddily, loving the outfit the boys had gotten you. Your eyes landed on them all waiting for you on the couch. They all wore short sleeved button ups, looking well dressed for once and you smiled upon realising that Porco's shirt was the same colour as your dress.
"Good to see it fits." Colt smiled at you and grinned back.
"Thanks you guys! I love it! You guys look really good too." You said, a small blush on your cheeks.

When everyone was getting ready to leave, his eyes never strayed from your figure. Every movement you made, he couldn't tear his eyes away.

"Porco stop staring like a creep." He told himself as you did a little twirl on your way to the car. He was blushing heavily, and he held a hand to his face to try and hide it.

"Stop staring brother." Marcel materialised out of nowhere and sing into his ear. Porco jumped, startled and embarrassed that he had been caught. Marcel sniggered and patted him on the back. Porco emitted a low growl and turned his head away. You were in the car already, waving for them to hurry up. Reiner and Colt were in the back and Marcel hurried to join him, forcing his brother to sit next to you.

He felt his eyes on you as he buckled up his seatbelt. One one hand, his heart was thrilled to have your attention on him, on the other hand his mind was overthinking.

What if she knows? Am I being obvious? Wait you don't even like her. What if she can read minds? No no stop!

He slapped himself gently, causing you to scold him lightly before caressing his face. This only made it worse. His face burst into flames, causing the boys in the back to break into a sputtering laughter. You panicked, looking around for some water or something while asking,
"Are you okay?!" Over and over.

"Aah!" Reiner stretched as he got out of the car. Colt rolled his eyes.
"It was a twenty minute drive, stop being dramatic." You skipped over to them after locking the car.
You pointed down the street, excitement bubbling through you.
"Let's walk down here. We can do a loop and do the shops on the other side and then find somewhere to eat. Sound good?" You said. Everyone nodded and followed you as you skipped along.

"That's the epitome of maturity." Porco muttered. His face contradicted his harsh words as a small smile graced his lips. He walked a little further behind with his brother as you walked with Colt and Reiner. You stopped in front of a store and stared at a dress for a moment, murmuring to yourself.

"Say (N/n), how do you feel about Porco?" Colt asked as you admired the dress before slowly moving on to the next store.
"Pock? I think he's great. I don't get why you were all making a big fuss about him coming." You reply.
"He's not usually like this." Reiner said under his breath, causing Colt to laugh lightly. You tilted your head to the side, puzzled.
"What do you mean by that?" You ask. Reiner chuckled and patted you on the head.
"Don't worry you'll know soon enough." You turned to look at him, an unamused expression on your face. Colt sighed.
"Would you be interested in him?" He asked. You stopped and narrowed your eyes at him.
"You mean romantically, don't you?" You questioned, a small sparkle in your eye. Colt and Reiner nodded causing you to smile.

"I don't think so." You said. The two boys groaned. "No, no wait it's not that, it's just that I barely know him and I wanna solidify our friendship a bit more. Then I can decide if I like him like that or not." You flapped your arms around as you desperately tried to explain.
Colt laughed. "Well, what do you think about him? Like actually." You blush slightly, causing Reiner to nudge Colt excitedly.

"He's really sweet and kind. I've heard he kinda can act bitter and cold, but I don't really see it that much. He's pretty cute too." You whisper the last bit and Colt whoops Reiner hit him gently, as a signal to calm the hell down.
"Sorry, sorry. I was just excited. But woah (N/n)~ that sounds like a little crush you got there!"
"N-no! I just think he's cool! I haven't known him for long enough." Reiner nodded.
"You've heard about that scientist that made two people fall in love in like 94 minutes, right?" Marcel chimed in randomly. You jumped at the sound of his voice, turning around with a blush to see Porco looking the other way, a small dusting of pink on his face as well. You let Marcel talk to Colt and Reiner so you could fall back a bit and walk with Porco. He noticed you struggling a bit and changed his pace slightly to allow you to keep up. You smiled at him, Colt's voice nagging you in the back of your head.

"Shut up. Shut up, shut up please." You whisper out loud to yourself. Porco looked at you with narrowed eyes.
"You okay there weirdo?" He asked. You pouted and looked away.
"Sorry." You say. He ruffled your hair with a slight chuckle.

"As long as you're okay." 

"Huh?!" You exclaimed upon hearing his whisper. His eyes widened and he instantly became flustered that you had heard his affectionate words.

No one had bought anything, just choosing to make fun of what some people thought fashion was. It was really nice to be out with friends and laugh and joke around with one another. It was around about 6:30pm when your stomach rumbled loudly for everyone to hear. You looked a little bit embarrassed and smiled sheepishly.

"Well, I guess it's time to go eat." Reiner said, starting to walk towards the restaurants. Everyone followed.
"Thank god! My feet are starting to hurt." Colt complained, to which Marcel rubbed his back comfortingly.

You had all decided on an Italian restaurant, getting in line to be seated.
"Hey (Y/n), we're gonna go to the bathroom. Be right back." Marcel tugged on your arm and whispered before walking away with Colt and Reiner.

"Do guys usually go to the bathroom in groups?" You ask no one in particular. Porco besides you snorted slightly and shook his head.
"They're just being weird. They could be planning something." He said. You laughed and moved forward in line with him.

"Hi! Table for two?" The waitress asked. You smiled and shook your head.
"We have three more people coming." You reply. She nodded and smiled.
"Right this way." She gestured for you and Porco to follow her.
"The whole matching outfits is very cute. I don't think my boyfriend would ever do that with me," she sighed as she let you to a table. Puzzled, you looked and Porco who was thinking the same thing before it visibly clicked for the both of you.
"You two are such a cute couple." She continued, stopping at a six person table. You smiled, a little uncomfortable and Porco did the same before sliding into the chair opposite you. "Here are some menus. Would you like some water to start with?" She asked.
"Water please." Porco almost growled, seemingly flustered and fed up with her chatty attitude. You apologised to her, and asked politely. When she left and retuned with the water, telling you to let her know when you were ready to order you sighed.

"Porco you need to be more polite to others." You scolded. He sighed and muttered a small apology to which you smiled. "Good."
