–YOU AND ME AT CHRISTMAS.
"so tom" jesse piped up, shoving his step-sister out of the way so he could get closer to the blonde. "what's dream like?"stevie just snickered and shook her head at the boy, tightening her grip on walter's leash, as they walked around the streets looking at christmas lights. jem straggled behind them pushing cass in a stroller, catching up with an old friend from school whom she invited.
"oh he's great, like truly one of the nicest guys i've ever met" tommy couldn't help but smile—the admiration he had for clay was immeasurable.
"i like his manhunts a lot, and he just seems very cool" jesse admitted sheepishly, "everyone at my school makes fun of him though"
"fu—screw what they think! their opinions don't mean jack shi—uh—they don't matter, basically—and in a years time you won't even remember the things they all say" tommy tried his best to censor himself whilst talking to the 11 year old.
"yeah, thanks" he nodded to himself. "can i take betty?"
"sure" the blonde chuckled, handing him the dog's leash.
"that was very sweet" stevie commended the boy beside her as jesse ran ahead—letting betty sniff around mailboxes and garbage bins.
"oh you know me, it was nothing" he played fake humble swatting the air over dramatically. "by the way, i've been meaning to ask you something"
"mm?" she looked up from the floor to see him already staring over at her.
"you remember toby? i mentioned him that time we talked on instagram awhile ago" he rambled nervously.
"yeah—tubbo underscore" she teased.
"yeah! so uh—every year he has this christmas eve eve party and—"
"—a what now?" she furrowed her eyebrows.
"a christmas eve eve party"
"that's stupid" she poked fun, nudging him softly as they walking through the snow.
"shut up" he nudged her back, walking closer towards her to keep that physical contact. "but um—basically he lives in bognor regis, but we all usually go down for a few days and i was wondering if you wanted to come?"
stevie bit her cheek to stop herself from smiling too hard. "i'd really like that, actually"
"yeah, a lot of the youtube boys'll be there—and so will freddie and eryn and a few friends from like college and stuff"
"that sounds really nice" she nodded. "thank you"
"no problem, everyone's gonna love you—and i hope you love everyone too"
"i think i will, i'd quite like to meet all your friends" she nodded to herself. "but you have to do all the convincing when it comes to my mother"
"please, she loves me, let's be honest i'm her favourite child" he teased, "we'll be on a train to bognor in no time, just you wait"
"you're an idiot" steph playfully rolled her eyes.
"yeah yeah, it's totally normal to be jealous—i get it" he firmly put his arm around her, pulling her closer into him as he snickered.
they stayed like that for a few seconds, until jesse turned around and saw them, pretending to gag.
"get a room!" he yelled, causing them both to jerk away from one another, awkwardly smiling apologetically.
they continue to wander around the streets close to their homes. as stevie stared in awe at the pretty lights on that same famous street that went all out every year, tommy stared, but in awe of her.
