[12/14/21]

finals week go brrrrr

anyway here's a chapter where nothing goes wrong at all :)

-

"Y/n as much as I enjoy eating takeout, I feel like you have an alternative motive," Tommy remarks the following Wednesday. "You never willingly buy me food unless you do,"

"I've willingly bought you food before," Y/n objects.

"Only when I say I'll pay you back,"

He rolls his eyes before sitting down at the dining room table. But when he reaches for the bag of food in front of him, Y/n smacks his hand away.

"Ow!"

"Wilbur's gonna be here in a second, we're waiting for him," She scolds.

"Why's he coming?"

"Because he's our friend and we can invite him over for dinner from time-to-time,"

"He's a liability if he's causing me to starve to death," Tommy reaches for the bag again. Y/n grabs it and moves it to the counter, out of his reach. "Hey! Y/nnnnnnn-"

A knock at the door cuts him off. She's about to go get it, but the boy runs to the door to do it before her.

"Wilbur's here!" He announces loudly.

My neighbors probably hate me from all his yelling...

Y/n smiles at Wilbur, ignoring Tommy when he grabs the bag of takeout away from her to bring to the table.

"I almost thought you weren't going to show up," She whispers to him.

"I almost didn't," Wilbur replies, chuckling softly. "But this is important,"

"What's important?" Tommy asks, overhearing their hushed voices. "Why are you both acting weird?"

The other two exchange glances before Y/n takes a seat at the table across from him. Wilbur, obviously feeling tense, lingers awkwardly where he is nearby.

"Tommy, there's something important that you need to know," She begins, looking over her shoulder at Wilbur for approval. He just smiles a little when they momentarily lock eyes. "Uh...Wilbur and I are...dating..."

Tommy just stares at her for a while, then moves his gaze to Wilbur.

"What...?" He finally murmurs.

"We're dating," Wilbur repeats, smiling a little.

"But I thought you said you weren't," Tommy responds.

"Because we wanted to see if it would work first," Y/n explains. "And it has been working,"

"How long have you been hiding this?"

"A couple weeks," She shoots Wilbur a nervous glance, but finds that he was avoiding eye contact with both of his friends.

"Why do you guys have to date each other though?!" Tommy stands up as his voice becomes increasingly angry. "I thought you were fine being friends!"

"Tommy what's the matter with you?" Y/n asks.

"No! What's the matter with you? Both of you!" He shouts.

"Tommy-" Wilbur tries to finally speak up, but by then Tommy is already walking out of the room. He goes into the office and slams the door shut.

Y/n lets out a heavy sigh and runs her hands through her hair. She looks back at Wilbur again, who seems to have the same concerned expression on his face.
