Sweet As Honey

~Chapter 22~

      "So you guys are only here until Sunday?" Wren says watching as Alena runs around.

     "Yup. We still have school Monday." You say putting an arm around her playfully.

     "Are you sure you aren't going home sooner so you can stream with Tubbo?" Wren sends a sinister smirk your way.

     "Hey, leave her alone." Peter gently shoves Wren. "She is finally putting herself out there."

     "Stop, I am not!" You say in a rather defensive manner.

     "Uh huh, that's why you're blushing." Peter pushes you.

     "I am not... blushing!" You can feel yourself get more red.

     "Yeah! Come on, she's cosplaying a tomato. Not blushing." Wren laughs and rolls her eyes.

     "Leave me aloooooone! We are just friends." You try to push away from them but Peter grabs your wrist and Wren grabs your shirt.

     "But you want more and so does he. You both just need to admit it, it's adorable how you two blush whenever you speak." Wren coos.

     "Stop, nothing there. We're just bros." You push Peter's hand off.

     "Yeah sure, two bros who ignore their other friends to talk to each other all day." Wren pushes Peter.

      "You are starting to sound like Eren. I thought you two didn't talk much." While it's true Eren and Peter have never seen eye to eye... on anything, the two put their issues aside whenever the cameras came on. Just for the audience.

     "Aye! It's a fine jab. I guess I've been spending more time with Tubbo than you in the past week. I'll make sure you are invited to the next collab I do with him alright?" Both nod. "Good then, let's move on"

     Peter and Wren begin to throw ideas around for next week's Friday Friends Chat as you watch Alena. The little one climbing up and down the jungle gym. You chuckle watching her throw herself down the slide screaming. While you don't like children, there were a few that were alright. She was one of them. Watching her approach the monkey bars you see frustration grow on her face as she sees she isn't anywhere near tall enough to even reach the first bar. Instinctually you get up and walk over to her to go help.

     "Y/n? Where are you going?" Peter calls after you.

     You don't answer him and keep heading over to Alena. "Hello little one, need help?"

      "No! I can... reach it!" She extends her body reaching as far as she can and it's still out of her reach... by quite a bit. Swiftly lifting her up to the first bar you wait and see that she has grasped it. Still holding her you wait for her to move, just to make sure she won't fall.

     "Don't think of me, I'm not here." The stubborn look on her face melts away as she reaches for the next bar with one hand. She grabs it and swings her other arm over, she does the same with the next bar, and the next. You hold her and walk with each bar she grabs. As you reach the last one she fully lets go of the bars.

     "YAY! We did it!" She throws her arms up very excitedly.

     Laughing you raise her higher in the air, still holding her.

     "AAAWWWW!!!" You look over at Wren, who has just screamed. In her hand you see she has used your camera to record you. You laugh awkwardly.

      "I thought you didn't like kids?" Peter yells over smugly.

     Crap, you've been caught red handed. You look at Alena and she looks at you. She just shrugs and starts to fuss around, trying to get out of your arms.

      "Yeah yeah, whatever. You caught me." You put her down, she instantly runs off towards the swings. "I like Alena. She's a good kid."

     "You also like Gavin. Another kid." You grimace at Peter. "Just admit you like kids."

     "Never! They are loud and I don't like them. Some are just okay. Anything six and over." You shout as Wren and Peter just laugh.

      "Well we have it on tape! No escaping it!" Wren playfully pushes you. "Come on, let's bring Alena back home. I'm sure my mom will be very happy to see you two!"

      "She will, she made Peter and I promise we would go visit her before we head back."

      "Good! She loves you guys, cause you make me happy!" Wren holds Alena's hand and starts walking.

      "AWW! That's cute." You reach out to hold Peter's hand and he just looks at you blankly.

      "I'm not a child Y/N, I can walk by myself.' He says while looking at you and bumps into a tree. With a deep sigh he reaches his hand to you. "I didn't help myself there. So here, hold my hand, because apparently I do need it."

     You take his hand, laughing. Wren laugh's just because he got hurt. This is definitely going to be a very fun few days. You are very happy to be in the moment here, with your two best friends. You push the thoughts of leaving from your mind and ignore everything around you but them. Including the buzzing of your phone.
