Toby placed an airpod in each ear getting ready to binge listen to Luke Combs. While he was doing so, he noticed that Holly was active on the app, and thought it would be a good idea to have a quick look at what she was listening to. "Romashki again? Really, Holly?" He thought to himself, letting out a slight chuckle before getting back to his own music. 

Around 20 minutes later, Toby elected to turn off his music and instead opted for the visual option. He dragged his feet over to his king single bed and plopped himself down. He reached for his xbox controller, and he opened youtube. For some reason that was unknown to man, Toby really enjoyed watching music videos to the songs he liked. Seriously, if anyone were to ever go through his search history, they would literally just find a bunch of country music videos.     

Whist he was indulging in some ocular activities, he wavered to send Holly a text. 

T:"What's with the russian song you're always listening to? I swear to god you had an unhealthy obsession with it."

Holly took a while to respond to him.

H: "LMFAO not you literally stalking my spotify 😭"

Toby smiled at his phone. For some reason, when Holly teased him, he felt a wave on fuzziness just envelop him. 

H: "FYI, the "unhealthy obsession" I have is a song my mother sung me as a child. A lullaby if you will. Every time I listen to it, it brings me back to my childhood."

T: "Oh cool lol"

Unsure of how to continue the conversation, he locked his phone and went back to watching his little yeehaw music videos.

Holly scrolled through the conversation once again, confused as to what just happened. She tried not to think too much of it, and turned back to the blonde haired boy who was sitting on her bed. "So.." Holly started, looking through Henry's report cards. "Your main problem area seems to be hass and and english." Henry's eyes shifted around the room in embarrassment. Holly took note of this and reassured him. "The fact that you aren't a genius in these things is nothing to be ashamed of!" She encouraged, softly brushing her hand across his. "That's what I'm here for. To help you." Henry looked down, slightly blushing. 

Holly grabbed books out of her bag, and turned to the page that contained what they needed. She started to read the paragraphs aloud, looking up at Henry every now and then to make sure he was following along. Henry feigned a confused face, making up an excuse for Holly to sit next to him. She shuffled closer to him until they were sitting across from each other. She started to explain the whole subject again, but Henry's eyes refused to leave hers. Holly didn't think too much of it - Henry often zoned out when he was in class, so why would this be any different? -, so he simply just snapped her fingers a few times and waved her hands in front of his face. "Earth to Henry!!" 

Henry snapped out of his trance, and attempted to focus on the working material, however it only worked for a few minutes. He seemed fidgety, so Holly tried to comfort him by intertwining her hand with his, just like Henry did to her the other day. This helped his concentration, not by much but still, progress is progress. 

Henry didn't know what it was, but he just couldn't stop thinking about her. 

He removed his hand from hers, and moved it to her face. He sat there for a moment, looking into her deep, ocean like blue eyes. "You're so fucking beautiful." He whispered, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. Holly blushed, looking up at him, meeting his gaze. He couldn't stop staring at her lips. He didn't know which to focus on, her lips or her eyes. They were both so pretty. Eventually he just ended up altering between the two. He pulled Holly close, picking her up and placing her on his lap. They stared at each other admirably for a few seconds before his lips met hers. Holly's hands wrapped around his neck, and his hands trailed up and down her back. Henry wanted to stay in this moment forever. he didn't want anything to change.

Holly's hands waved in front of his face yet again. "Hey!! Pay attention or you aren't going to pass the test!" She nagged. Henry came back to reality, looking around him. Holly was nowhere near his lap. His lips weren't actually on hers. Holly noticed something was wrong. "Are you okay?!" She worried, putting down the textbook. "I'm sorry if I'm being too hard on you." He looked up at her with puppy dog eyes, feigning a smile. "Yeah." His voice cracked. "I'm fine."
