Your tartan shirt (st Gareth x reader)

Keep it down lovebirds

"Hey guys-? It's getting late." James said
I sat up from my sleeping bag and looked at him
"Scared of the dark?" I said, raising an eyebrow
"No! Im just thinking with this killer guy out there. I mean- we are literally in a garage." He responded
"I thought we established that its not Eddie?" Gareth spoke up
To which James threw a ball at the wall and caught it when it bounced back.
"Thats the problem. If its not Eddie then its someone we don't know." He said nervously

I look at Gareth, puzzled. And shrugged my shoulders.
"I doubt one person would attempt to jump 4 people." I say
James just sighed "i guess."

I flopped back down and faced Gareth on my side.
"I think Jeff is already asleep.." i say cheekily
Gareth raised an eyebrow and smiled
"Wanna draw on his face?" He whispered
A mischievous smile crept on my face
"Totally."
We grabbed a black marker (a washable one we're not that mean come on)
And took turns doodling on Jeff's face.
"No! i was gonna draw a moustache!!" Gareth whined
"Too bad i beat you too it." I replied

We snuck back to our beds giggling like children,
"I feel kinda mean.." i say laughing
"Its fine, he can wash it off." Gareth replied
We lay in our beds in silence for a moment
"Can you lovebirds keep it down." James said across the room
I instantly sat up, red faced and looked down at Gareth who was staring at James wide eyed.
"What? Im trying to sleep." He said

I was a little lost for words i have to say but just laughed it off nervously, i mean.. its hard to not be nervous.. especially as Gareth is damn cute.. its not like I'm crushing on him tho, I've known him for like a day..

"You alright Y/n??" I snapped back when i saw Gareth looking at me with a puzzled expression.
"Look if you HATE the idea of going out with me that much.." he said with a playful smile.
"No! I woul- i mean you are- uhh.." the red pigmentation only worsened as i spoke.
"Im gonna go to sleep now."
I concluded, leaving James and Gareth laughing together.
God now he's totally gonna think i like him..
although, would he really be wrong?

——
The morning sun shone through the windows of the garage, waking me slightly, i sighed and sat up in my bed.
Suddenly I remembered how Gareth and i drew on Jeff's face the night before, this brought a cheeky smile to my face, I looked at my reflection in the small, old mirror opposite me on the garage wall, then down at a snoozing Gareth.
I was the first one up. Great. I checked my watch. 5:30. Double great.
I lay back down and started silently tossing the tennis ball lying on the floor.

It felt like an eternity, although was probably only half an hour, but finally i heard movement over in Jeff's bag. I smiled once again and went to gently wake Gareth.
"Garethh.." i whispered urgently
"Gareth, Jeff is up." I say patting his back.

"Nyeahhh...." He mumbled, finally sitting up. His hair was a complete mess,
"You need to brush your hair dude." I said jokingly ruffling it with my hand.
He smirked
"So do you." He said ruffling mine in return, we both laughed.
But stopped when he saw Jeff.
"Shit.. I forgot we did that.." he said with a smile creeping on his face

"Yep now we watch and wait."
