"Days like no others." • Gareth Emerson x Fem!Reader

•Ch. 6•

•Y/N'S POV
I woke up and felt a hand on my stomach, soon to realize that it was Gareth's.

I slept in for a few more minutes, then all of a sudden i felt Gareth waking up,

"morning" i say turning to look at him. He looked at me with a blank face and buried his head in
my chest (don't be weird), "It's too early to be up." He said while hugging me.

"it's not that early, plus we don't need to do anything, we can just stay in bed" i replied, playing with his soft curls.

Gareth unburied his head from my chest and looked at the pillow beside me, not wanting to look directly at my eyes.

"Y/n?" Gareth let out interrupting the awkward silence. "yeah?" i reply, 'did i do something wrong?' i worried.

"Are we still just friends?" Gareth asked with embarrassment in his voice.

Panic. I was certainly not expecting this. What do i say? i obviously like him. Is this too soon? i don't think so. I should probably say something.

"are we?" i replied quietly.

"Y/n L/n would you like to be my girlfriend?" Gareth spoke looking at me in the eyes.

"i think so, Emerson." i reply with a warm smile.

For the rest of the morning we simply stayed in bed, watching films and talking to each other. To be honest, i still hadn't processed what had happened.

"Gareth you could've waited til afternoon to confess to me!" i groaned playfully, not wanting him to think i was actually mad. "Hmm yeah no, i couldn't wait" He let out while hugging me. "Friends don't do stuff like this do they?" he smiled and kissed me.

"slow down on the kisses lover boy" i said while
giving him one more peck on the lips and getting up, i had to call home and tell mom i didn't kidnapped or something like that.

After explaining to Gareth that i had to call home, he pointed over to the nearest phone and a few seconds later i was calling home. Mom picked up the phone and we started talking for a while.

Lots of bye's later, i hung up. My mom was okay with me staying over i just didn't want to make her worry.

•Gareth's POV
I waited for y/n to get back, not long after she walked into my room.

"Wanna go out?" i asked staring at y/n as she sat down. "God i thought you'd never ask!" she replied with a sarcastic tone.

"You know what i mean," i let out. "To the mall? to the park? tooo theee.. i don't know i'm just bored" I said while laying my head on her chest.

"hmm, sure..i just don't have any 'going out clothes' you know?" she said and i smiled. "i've got some stuff that could fit you" i replied and got up with no hesitation.

"baggy or fit?" i asked standing in front of her, "any, surprise me?" she said and laughed.

I went over to my closet and looked for stuff, i ended up finding sweat pants and a flannel, they went well with the top she was wearing.

"here ya go." i said and handed over the clothes to her. "let's see if these fit" she said and walked over to my bathroom.

I decided to change while she was in the bathroom, a few minutes later she came out and i stared at her while smiling, my clothes fit her pretty well, she looked good in them.

•Y/N'S POV
I walked out of Gareth's bathroom, the clothes he gave me surprisingly fit me.

I noticed Gareth staring at me, "what?" i asked and smiled.

"you look pretty" he said and smiled back at me, "so do you" i replied and put out my hand for him to grab.

"we go now!" i said said as he grabbed my hand, "i guess we go get food?" he replied and i requested a nearby breakfast place. Once we agreed, we left his place and instead of driving we decided to walk.

The walk to the breakfast place was pretty short, we spoke about anything for most of the time.

"So, volleyball?" Gareth spoke out, i played volleyball for two years but then stopped due to how much i was getting injured.

"Oh yeah that, it was pretty good! i'm y/h so it was okay most of the time" i said while turning to look at him, "wait how'd you know i played volleyball?" i questioned while smiling.

"you think i only started liking you this year?" Gareth laughed, "well i'm sorry! you never told me nor talked to me" i said and nudged him.

We continued talking about middle school and our first high school years.

A few minutes later we arrived to the breakfast place, you could smell the pancake batter and the freshly made bacon once you walked in, i looked over at Gareth and smiled.

'today will be a good day' i thought to myself as i walked inside.
