sorry for the delay

fivels pov:
once we get to the restaurant briggete takes off their coat and puts it on the back of the chair and are left wearing a blue hoodie and black cargo pants, as i'm sitting there i look into briggetes eyes while they're talking about something but i got lost in their eyes to quickly and didn't hear anything they were saying, as they talked my mind raced why did they never make a move, why don't i make a move, why haven't i broken up with my boyfriend when i know that i have a stranger connection to briggete, sure andrew was nice and he treats me good but nobody is briggete, they make my whole day better with a giggle

"hey, everything ok" briggete says interrupting my thoughts

"oh yeah, i'm so sorry, just a lot on my mind" i say hoping she hears the sincerity in my voice

"no, no, no" briggete says quickly "i was just making sure you were ok, you don't have to apologize. do you wanna talk about it"

"no it's alright, it'd be hard to explain" i say hoping they don't  catch on that it's about them, they reach their hand across the table and rest it on mine, the butterfly's in my stomach flutter, "ok, just know i'm always here" they say with a soft smile, i smile back and open my mouth to reply when the waiter comes up to the table, he asks briggete what they want first and they pull their hand away to grab the menu, my hand tingles at the now absence of her hand, wishing for that connection back, we both order and soon the food comes out, it's a casual lunch, after i insist on paying briggete throws their coat back on, we walk back out into the cold and i instantly regret not bringing a coat as me and briggete walk back to their apartment i have a slight shiver, briggete looks at me with concern in their eyes and takes off their coat and nods to tell me to put it on
"i can't take your coat, you're gonna get cold" i say

"i'll be fine, please i don't want you to get hypothermia" briggete says worried, i slip their coat on and instant wave of warmth and comfort, i gain the confidence and grab their hand, i interlock my fingers with theirs and they squeeze my hand a little to let me know they like it, i look over at them and their cheeks are flushed red, but not from the cold

we arrive at their apartment and i'm not ready to say goodbye yet and i don't think they are either

"hey, do you wanna watch this new movie with me, i rented it this morning but haven't watched it yet" they say with a slight smile

"i would love to" i say smiling back, both of us now both blushing, they go to their room and grab a blanket, they sit on the couch and turn on the tv, they look at me and put the cushion next to them, i walk over trying not to look to excited, i sit next to them but a little far away, they look at me and grin

"i don't bite" they say and i melt, i scoot in so close if i moved one more inch i'd be inside of them, i put my head on their shoulder and they wrap their arm around me, we watch the movie but i'm distracted and just looking at them, they're so beautiful but also so handsome, they have such beautiful eyes

briggetes pov:
as we watch the movie, i feel fivels eyes lingering on my face, i want to look at her too, but maybe she wasnt looking at me for the reasons i'd be looking at her, after a while i don't feel her eyes so i look down at her and her eyes are closed, she fell asleep, i tap her shoulder, she slowly opens her eyes

" hey you fell asleep, do you need to get home" i say, instead of a response she pulls me to be almost fully laying down and lays on me her head on my chest and her arms tangled around me, she nuzzles her head on me and is asleep again, i wrap my arms around her and fall asleep

i'm woken up by the sound of a phone i see fivels phone on the floor, she has a bunch of missed texts from andrew, briggete reads the missed texts

Andrew :)
hey, where are you
i thought we had a date tonight

so you're just gonna ghost me
lemme guess you're with briggete

by this point don't bother coming home tonight

you're a bitch fivel

briggete fumes, she was gone once and she gets called a bitch she can do so much better, she still isn't awake so i decide to just go back to sleep, i wake up to the smell of coffee, i look into the kitchen and there's fivel making a cup of coffee, she turns around to get a cup when she sees me

"hey sleepyhead" she says and gives me a huge smile, then her smile fades " by the way i'm sorry for last night i was so tired" she says sounding guilty

"no need to apologize, i was super tired too" i say reassuring her, she smiles at me then her phone starts to ring, she looks at the screen and rolls her eyes, she picks up the phone

"what do you want"
"you ever gonna text me back"
"i just woke up, i fell asleep at brig's place"
"oh so you missed our date to be with your 'friend' ", fivel gets a panicked look and signals that she's gonna finish the call in the hallway, i nod.
