thats all! now lets begin with something that will totally ruin your mood >:)

haha jk im not doing that this time

no, not just yet (;

"Welp. That's a way to start a birthday." I chuckled to myself. I knew my birthday would definitely not be the best day, so this wasn't a huge surprise.

In fact, I usually expected the worse on birthdays. It seemed as though, getting your hopes up for just a day made it end up not being a good 24 hours.

That's besides the point, because we needed to get out car back on the road.

"So... are we going to call someone?" I blurted, as nobody did anything.

"Uh.. yeah. Me and Niki are gonna go try to push the car. You guys can stay in there if you want." Wilbur spoke, opening his door.

The car was filled with silence once they left the car. so I was sat surrounded by my thoughts.

Yesterday, I said that I didn't have a crush. And it's true, I really didn't. But if I would have a crush on someone, and I'm saying hypothetically, who would it be?

Well, I know it would definitely not be Corin.

Tubbo seems nice, though.

Oh my god, I never met Tubbo.

I guess it's too late now. We were kind of on a run to who-knows-where, and we can't stop now.

That's besides the point. I wouldn't have a crush on Tubbo most likely, he wasn't quite my type.

When was the last time I even had a crush?

Lord, it'd have to be back in 4th grade..

"Hey," Nephie spoke, making me jump. "I'm going to go help them. They seem to uh- be struggling a bit."

"Oh, alright then." I smiled. Wasn't I planning on sleeping a while ago?

I looked around for any pillows, but all I saw were suitcases. Wait, they packed stuff?

"Hey, Tommy?" I whispered, turning to look at him.

"Mhm?" He hummed back, slightly opening his eyes.

"Oh- sorry, did I wake you? I didn't mean to-"

"No, it's okay. I couldn't sleep anyway." He smiled tiredly.

"Ah, alright then..." I nodded to myself. "Do you know where we are going?"

"No, I'm sorry. This must be all sudden and everything, I was just told to pack and sh*t after I told Wilbur about the call."

"It's fine." I yawned. My head felt lighter now that I was really tired, and I just really wished I had a pillow or something soft to lay my head on. "You're very quiet when you're tired. Has anybody told you that?" I mumbled.

"Really?" He laughed softly. "I mean, usually I'm getting ready to sleep when I'm tired, so I'm not around anybody."

"So..." I started. "no?"

"Nope." He breathed.

a/u; well yes i hope he's breathing-

"Hey, you good?" He furrowed his brows at me, noticing I was looking around the car.

"Yeah. Do you have a pillow or blanket or- something, I don't know."

His eyes widened a bit when he realized what I was doing then. "I- uh, no. Sorry. You can uh..." He wondered off and never finished his sentence.

"What?"

"You can use my- uh- my shoulder?" He stuttered, looking at me to see how I reacted.

"If you're fine with it, and it won't bother you, I'd be fine with that." I gave a slight grin.

He smiled. "Yeah, okay."

I moved closer to him, and layed my head softly on his shoulder, then closed my eyes.

His breathing was right up close to my ear, and I could hear his heart beat.

Which was going abnormally fast.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay with this? I don't want to make you uncomfortable..." He assured.

"Yeah, I'm alright with it Tom."

"Okay, just making sure." His heart started to slow down. "You know I'll always be here for you, right?"

My stomach filled with a nervous sensation, or what most people call butterflies. That was random.

But cute.

I mean-

Cute as in like a very nice friendly thing.

I think.

No, Juniper. What do you mean 'you think'?

My lord, chill out.

"Me too, Tom. Me too..." I drifted off as I finished.
