Chapter 4 - Embarassing Nostalgia

[10/6/21]

I finally watched squid game and I mean it's okay I guess...

but 67 do be looking pretty fine tho >-> just saying

-

Y/n smiles at the sight and sound of the ocean waves. Even though it was raining outside of the bus top she's sitting under, everything felt calm to her

She's snapped out of her thoughts, however, when her bus finally shows up. Y/n quickly drags her head back out of the clouds and gets on. Once seated, she puts her headphones in before letting her thoughts drift again.

As she's sitting there, she gets a text from Wilbur.

    > Wilbur: where are you I'm lonely :(

    > Y/n: I'm almost there clingybur dw

    > Wilbur: I'm not clingy, Tommy's the clingy one

    > Y/n: hmmm are you sure about that? >->

    > Wilbur: yes

    > Y/n: I'll be there in 5 minutes

Y/n gets off the bus a little while later. She finds the address Wilbur had sent her and finds him waiting outside the restaurant under an umbrella. She runs up beside him to stand under the umbrella as well.

"Where's your umbrella?" Wilbur scolds her lightly. "Or raincoat?"

"I didn't think it would rain this much!" She replies, laughing a little. "But I like the rain anyway, so I'm fine,"

He smiles in amusement. "Well, shall we?"

Y/n nods and follows him inside. They get seated at a window-side table shortly after.

"I sort of hoped that the rain would let up so we could sit outside," Wilbur admits.

"But nature is gross, who wants to be out there?" She replies with a smirk.

"Very true," He chuckles. "So, what do you do for fun? Hobbies?"

"Well, Tommy got me into Minecraft a while back, so I play that when I have free time," Y/n remarks. "Otherwise I draw every once and a while...What about you?"

"Well I like making music," Wilbur says. "But that and streaming is pretty much all I do,"

"It's more exciting than what I do,"

"Tommy said you edit videos for a living,"

"Yep. I do freelance work usually, sometimes I take an extra job like as a waitress or something if I need more money," Y/n tells him.

"Are you taking editing jobs right now...?" He asks tentatively with a smile.

"Perhaps I am," She replies teasingly. "Why? Does the world-famous Wilbur Soot need a video made?"

"Just maybe," Wilbur shrugs. "But anyway, this is lunch, not business. You have a cat, don't you?"

They talk for a while. He tells her more about Brighton and about himself in general, and she tells him about herself and the U.S..

It was easy to talk to him. Before Y/n knows it, 2 hours have passed just from their conversations.

"Do you want to go see a movie maybe?" Wilbur asks as they walk out of the restaurant. He opens up his umbrella to protect them both from the rain. "There's a cinema nearby we can go to,"
