tommy slater x y/n | fearstreet 1978

not a date

I walk over to Tommy after talking to Ziggy about asking him to hang out tonight and i'm fucking scared cuz what am i supposed to say?? do i act casual or make it seem like a date? what should we even do?? what the fuc- okay we are approaching Tommy just act cool

y/n: hey Tommy
Tommy: hey
y/n: so i wanted to know if you wanted to hang out later tonight....
Tommy: oh uh, yeah sure! what time?
y/n: oh like 7
Tommy: why 7
y/n: i don't know
Tommy: okay well what are we gonna do
y/n: i mean we can really do whatever-
Tommy: great, meet at the lake at 10
(he walks away)
y/n: (boy what the hell-)
Ziggy; what happened?
y/n: he asked me to go to the lake at 10
Ziggy: NO don't go. do not. go.
y/n: why
Ziggy; that's like the one place at camp that's so obviously used to sex. he's gonna try snd sleep with you
y/n: first of all, that's disgusting (i wouldn't mind tbh) second of all, that's not what this is
Ziggy: mhm sure, we'll go do something before

I walk away and just start getting semi ready and practice what i am gonna say so i at least feel slightly prepared, i put on Tommy's flannel which i took earlier that day, black jean shorts, and a t-shirt with my bathing suit underneath and head towards the lake

y/n: slater are you here yet? (i wait for a response but i don't hear anything yet)
Tommy: hey there y/l/n
y/n: (i hit his arm) jesus what the hell Tommy?? where did you even come from
Tommy: i was right over here but i wanted to scare you
y/n: you're an asshole.
Tommy: mhm, are you gonna change cuz i'm going in
y/n: yeah yeah yeah give me a second

i start taking my clothes off but very awkwardly cuz this is an awkward situation and i look over and tommy is taking his shirt off and i'm trying not to turn red or just drop dead. if he knows i find him attractive he will torture me with this knowledge til the day i die

Tommy: are you done changing?
y/n: yeah
Tommy: okay so- (mouth kinda drops for a second but he immediately catches himself and looks back up at your face) so uh do you want to go in?
y/n: yeah you go first tho, i don't trust you
Tommy; that's so mean
y/n: mhm just go in (i  push him a little bit and he falls in)

(Tommy falls in and i'm laughing now because i didn't know that small push would make him fall in)

Tommy: I WASNT READY
y/n: that's just sad
Tommy: oh yeah?

Tommy climbs out and grabs me and now i'm yelling for him to let go cuz i should probably say i'm not a great swimmer + the lake freaks me out but before i can say or do anything he throws me in

y/n: THOMAS SLATER IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU

right as i'm threatening Tommy he jumps in and comes back up and just stares at me

Tommy: i cant believe you are 16
y/n: why?
Tommy: you seem too mature
y/n: oh yeah and you're an old man
Tommy: dude i'm only 17
y/n: okay
Tommy: and you're 16 and still in freshman math
y/n: shut up (i push him a little buts he's holding onto my arms and pulls me back really close to him)
Tommy: you're eyes are really pretty
y/n: (what the fuck shit gtg!) thanks

We just stare at each other for a little longer, i counted how long in the back of my head because i was nervous and needed to distract myself as much as possible, 27 seconds. i should stop being so thorough but my anxiety won't let me. i'm staring into his eyes and i'm genuinely scared for what's about to happen, i tell people i've nearly had sex out of fear that they'd think i'm a prude but to be honest i haven't even had my first kiss.

Tommy: um we should probably go right?
y/n: oh uh yeah.... i mean i guess we could always go to your cabin or something
Tommy: uh yeah just maybe go back to yours first to change so you're warm
y/n: oh uh yeah... i'll meet you back at yours in like 10 minutes

I get out and run back to my cabin and change thinking jesus fucking christ that was intense
