dont be suspicious

*slight smut at the end*

once you got back to kunslers, you spent some quality time with bernie. it was very difficult not to tell her about tom, but you wanted to respect toms rules.

you and bernadine sat on the bed playing cards, when jerry burst through the door. "guys guys, kunsler got invited to go to this fancy restaurant, and is able to bring us!" he squealed. you and bernadine made eye contact then looked back at jerry. "jer, we aren't defendants." bernie giggled. jerry's face dropped and he put his hands on his hips. "i'll be right back." he said, turning around and running out the door.

he came back a few minutes later with a big smile. "guys guys! good news, if you act like your dating one of us, you can come!" jerry squealed. you and bernie groaned. "cmon get ready buttheads." jerry laughed before spinning around and closing the door behind him.

"wait- did he say fancy restaurant." you gasped. your friend looked at you with sad eyes. she nodded and sighed. you groaned and flew back onto the bed. she laughed and tugged you back up. "it's okay, i'll lend you something." she comforted. you nodded and followed her to her dresser.

you wore a dark green slip on dress and black wedges. you curled your hair and let it fall over your shoulders, and put on a normal amount of makeup. bernadine wore a cream colored cocktail dress. she straightened her hair and also put on a normal amount of makeup, but with red lipstick. once you were both ready, you took a deep breath and creeped out the door.

you turned the corner and all eyes were on you. you crossed your arms over your chest in embarrassment and looked around nervously. "i know i know, we're hot shit. now stop staring." bernie bragged, earning a stifled giggle from you.

you looked at all the boys, scattered around the living room. abbie wore a white collared shirt and black slacks. not too fancy, but also not very "abbie". jerry wore a pink collared shirt and black pants. he had a bright pink rose pinned to his brest, and wore a manbun. your uncle and leonard had normal grey suits on, as well as dave. lee wore a nice grey sweater with a blue plaid under it. john wore a blue collared shirt. rennie wore a white buttoned up and black suit jacket. and then there was tom. he had on his grey slacks and suit jacket, white collared shirt underneath. he topped it off with a slim black tie. he left his hair messy. he was leaned up against the wall with his hands in his pockets, looking at you. he was looking you up and down and smirking.

once you noticed, your face turned red and you started to fidget with your fingers. you peeked up at him, to which he laughed at. you giggled silently and looked back at you feet. he made you nervous, fuck.

"alright so dine, you'll be my dame. and y/n, uh choose someone i dunno." abbie laughed. bernadine blushed and walked up to abbie, holding his hand. you didn't know if they we're together, but you hoped that they were.

you stood awkwardly and bit the inside of your cheek. your eyes scanned over everyone until they got to tom. tom gave you a sweet smile, but as much as you wanted to, you couldn't pick him. that would be too suspicious.

you trilled your lips and looked around the room. "alright your taking too long, date tom for the night." abbie snickered. your eyes shot to tom. tom was looking at abbie with a "really?" look. he looked back to you and pursed his lips. you did the same. you had to act like you didn't want to do this. but god you did.

"w-what? no, no that's not accurate. tom would never in his life date somebody like y/n. it's unrealistic." rennie chimed in. you turned to him and cocked an eyebrow. "what's that supposed to mean?" you hissed. that was a bitchy little remark of him to make.

"yeah rennie! what's that supposed to mean?" bernie questioned. rennie put his hands up in surrender. you scoffed and rolled your eyes. "ok whatever." you groaned, walking over to tom. you leaned on the wall next to him and rolled your eyes. tom looked over at you, away from everyone else, and winked. you stifled a laugh.
