Places (A Thomas Brodie-Sangster Fanfiction)

On the Tour

Natalia's POV

"Thomas?"

"Yes, Natalia?"

"Why do you always stare at me, and blush when I catch you?"

"Um... because you are not like any other girl, or guy, I've met before."

"Thanks?"

"Yes, that was a compliment." We laugh. "Almost there."

I look up and see Big Ben. It's amazing.

"Ready?"

"Of course." He parks and we get out. "It's beautiful."

"It is." I see him glance at me as he says it.

Nah.

I take a picture. "It's, kind of cold." I rub my arms in slight emphasis.

"Here." He takes off his jacket and puts it around my shoulders.

"Oh, Thomas I don't need-"

"No, you are going to wear it. I'm fine and I don't want you to get a cold before you start a brand new school."

"Uh, okay."

"Would you like to ride the London Eye?"

I swallow. "Um, sure." I don't like heights. Fariswheels are the worst. Oh well, I mean, I'm wearing his jacket. The least I could do is ride a fariswheel with him.

I follow Thomas and get in line. My palms get sweaty so I wipe them on my pants.

"Are you okay Natalia?"

"Uh, yeah. Just peachy." I smile for emphasis. "Oh, we're next."

Thomas goes up and pays the guy. He opens the door and locks it shut once we're in. I sit on one side with Thomas in front of me. The wheel turns as people get on. At one point we stop at the top.

"Oh my God!"

"What is it?!"

"I... I'm scared of heights. Really, scared."

"Oh, I'm not too fond of them either. Come here." I slowly stand up from my side and quickly sit down on Thomas' side.

I epically fail and land in his lap.

Shart.

"Um... sorry."

He laughs. "It's fine." I crawl out of his lap and next to him. I look out the window.

"Oh God!" I jump and hang on Thomas. "That's high up."

"Jumpy." He giggles. Yes, giggles. He snuggles into me. What the hell? I slowly pull slightly away. He gets the idea.

With a flash of hurt in his eyes, he pulls away.

"It may be high up, but isn't it beautiful?"

I look out the glass once again. It is beautiful, you can see all of London. "It is. Can it get any colder? I'm already wearing your jacket."

"I think it can. Don't jinx it." We laugh.

"Thomas?"

"Yes?"

"I am still scared! How come we haven't moved from the top?"

"I don't know." He looks down and his face turns white. "It doesn't matter. Just don't look down." He sounds flustered.

"That tone worries me, but I have no problem not looking down."

Thomas' POV

When I looked down, there were multiple people working on the thing that turns the wheel.

Natalia scoots closer to me. Hm. I yawn and put my arm around her.

"Again?" She laughs. "Why?"

Klunk.

"Um... you said you were cold?"

She gives me an accusing look. "Whatever you say."

No, the reason I do it is because she's beautiful and unique. She's-

Stop it Thomas, you can't feel that way!

She leans her head on my shoulder.

Yes!

I lean my head on hers. I feel her tense, then relax.

"Did anybody ever tell you that you're beautiful, Natalia?"

"Only my family. And to this day I think they were just being nice."

"I assure you they weren't. Because you are."

She pulls away quickly and gives me a funny look. But she shrugs it off.

I slowly start to lean in and her eyes get wide.

Then the fariswheel turns and I fall off the seat.

"Bloody hell!" Natalia laughs. Hey, at least I was saved from rejection. I blush.

"Saved by the bell."

"But it's not a-"

"I know, Thomas, its an expression."

All the seat things are filled so the wheel slowly turns without stopping.

Once again I lean in. Natalia starts to lean in. Then at the last moment she turns and I kiss her cheek. Both of us blush.

"Meanie."

"Thomas, use your big boy voice."

"Big boy voice my arse. Can we pretend... that... never happened?"

"Sure thing. But it is staying up here," she taps her head "for a very long time. Maybe even forever."

For some reason that makes my heart soar. (Soar, not sore) Forever? This year will be wonderful.

Only a year.

"Natalia, how old are you?"

"Sixteen, I'm turning seventeen in November. I started somewhat early."

"Oh."

She couldn't move here. Stop thinking like that Thomas!
