Lover- [Tom Holland×Reader]

30- 18th birthday

Y/n's P.O.V

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as it hit 12 a.m, my parents burst into my room with a cake, singing happy birthday. I put down the book I was reading and grinned at them.
I was finally 18.

"Happy birthday, darling." Dad kissed my forehead and mum gave me a hug.
"Thanks you guys." I chuckled.
"I can't believe my baby's already 18!" Mum started to tear up.
Dad and I awed and  pulled her in for a hug.
"Oh wait Sof's facetiming me." 
I looked at my phone and accepted the call. 
"Okay come over in 10 minutes." she said without greeting me or even wishing 'happy birthday'.
"Um, okay." I replied with a confused look on my face.

I rang the doorbell after 10 minutes. No one opened it. I rang it once more. Nothing.
I went around the house to the back door and knocked.
What the fuck was going on?
I opened the door after 7 minutes of knocking and waiting.

The room was pitch black for a split second before the lights were turned on to reveal the house, beautifully decorated with fairy lights and streamers and balloons. A huge smile broke across my face as I stood there, awestruck.

"Wh-What's going on?" I chuckled.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" everyone yelled making me laugh.
"Oh my gosh, thanks you guys. Th-This is perfect!" 

The room filled with lively chatter and laughs. It was now 1 a.m in the morning and the 'party' had just started. Harry was blasting music and taking pictures, Sam was helping Nikki with the food and Paddy was cracking hilarious jokes, or at least trying. My parents came in after a few moments. 
"Ah you two dressed up while I just showed up in my pajamas. No wonder it took you so long." I scoffed dramatically.
"Oh cut the drama Y/n." Harry teased me. I shot a glance at him but he replied by sticking his tongue out.
"Meet me outside in 2." Sofia whispered.
I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions. Two minutes later both of us were ambling along the backyard.
"So?" I asked.
"So.." Sofia started, looking down at the grass which appeared to be very interesting at that moment, "I want to smoke a cigarette." 
I, at once looked at her in a very curious manner. I'm pretty sure my face was saying, 'Are you fucking kidding me?'

"I bought a pack and I wanted my first smoke to be with you." she said.
"Oh, I see." I raised both of my eyebrows. "Well I'm down. Let's do it." I chuckled.

The weather in London was getting hotter but nights were always freezing. The midnight sky became a sweet embrace of starry black. The frost air sent shivers down our spines, our hands and feet felt like ice. Smoking would probably give the heat that we'd been longing for. 

Sofia took out two sticks from the packet and put it back inside her jacket's pocket. She then took out a lighter from the other pocket and lit the first stick.
"I see you've come prepared." I said, impressively.
"Of course." she laughed.

"Ready?" she held her stick in between her middle and index finger.
"I guess so." I hesitantly replied as she handed me the other one.

The toxic stick had a slow creeping stench. We glanced at each other one last time before pressing one end to our lips and inhaling the noxious air. Within moments its chemicals invaded everything we were. I felt like I was high on cocaine even though I had no idea what it felt like. I experienced this immense sense of pleasure mixed with the burn that was taking over my esophagus and wind pipe and now reaching my lungs. Sofia and I coughed almost at the same time. That one puff exposed me to feelings I didn't even know existed. We smoked a bit more, feeling that same sensation followed by a few coughs and then the release of the sweet smoke into the cold air. Eventually, the coughing stopped after a few puffs but the burning did not. In fact, each time it hit harder than ever making us want to take in some more of that toxin rich air. We smoked in silence, feeling closer than ever as 'Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby' by Cigarettes After Sex played in the background.

After staying up all night, partying, I woke up from a 2-hour nap at 4 p.m in Tom's room. He was seated at his desk, going through his e-mails. 
I walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Look who's awake!" he exclaimed. 
"It's not my fault Nikki planned such an amazing party last night."
"Hey, it was my idea. Party all night with the fam, take a nap and spend the rest of the day with me." he softly kissed me as I straddled him.
"So what have you planned to make this day more amazing than it already is, Thomas?" I smirked.
"I was thinking we could stay back home, have a movie marathon, cuddle and eat ice-cream." he said.
"No wonder you're my soulmate, Thomas." I shook my head.
"What's with calling me 'Thomas'?"
"I think it's cute, just like you." I leaned in and pecked his lips. 
"You are such a flirt."
"And you're in LOVE with this flirt." I rolled my eyes.
Tom chuckled and shook his head.

"Let's watch....HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!" I exclaimed.
"Okay, darling. Calm down." Tom said as he scrolled through the movies, looking for the 'High School Musical' trilogy.
We were in his room and he'd made it super cozy by bringing more pillows, some blankets, a shit ton of snacks and scented candles.
"Alright, here we go." Tom pressed play and leaned back.
As the movie started, I got closer to him. We had some left over pizza from the party in the morning and two big buckets of ice cream. 
I made through only 1 movie and then dozed off, my head on Tom's chest. Obviously I slept over in his room and neither of our parents seemed too bothered about it.

And just like that my 18th birthday was spent in the best possible way, all thanks to my family and of course, Tom.
