A/N: Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles.

(Penny pov, first person)

I decided that I wanted to go out for lunch and to take my obnoxious and attractive neighbor with me. Today he was wearing a light blue hoodie with jeans and was texting somebody for a second before sending it and putting his phone away.

Maybe he was on Tik Tok and was typing a comment? Who could really tell for sure without looking. I decided to just ignore it. I  was slightly startled from my thoughts to hear my phone ding softly and I pulled it out just as Tommy puts his away. 

I smile slightly and feel a flutter of excitement in my chest when I see a few texts from The Child. Wait, is it possible to like two guys at once..? I guess only the future could tell.

Deciding to look at the texts later, I get into my car while Tommy gets into the passenger seat and we fight over the AUX cord for a little while before I eventually win and we drive away while Heat waves is playing.

After getting our food, I decide to have a bit of a competition with Tommy, as we were both very competitive. "Whoever runs from here to the car first, gets to pick something out at Target for under ten bucks and the loser has to pay for it. Deal?" I challenged. Tommy nodded. 

Three...

Two...

one...

Go! I shouted and we both ran as fast as we could to the car and, even though I was much shorter than him, I somehow managed to beat him. "Noooo how did you win you fast motherfucker!?" Tommy whined while getting into the passenger seat while I started the car.

We hadn't pulled out of the parking lot yet.

"I'm just better than you, bitch boy." I teased. He grinned and scoffed. "Yeah, I guess you're faster than me, but I'm better at getting women." "That's because I'm straight, idiot." I hit him lightly in the back of the head and he suddenly grabbed my hand and tugged me closer to him.

He cupped my cheek, still holding my other hand and I felt him coming closer and closed my eyes when-

There was a knocking at the window which, luckily, was tinted, otherwise, we would have been put in the awkward position of WilburSoot catching his two friends about to make out. I waited a second, willing my face to turn back to its original color and for my heart to stop racing before I rolled my window down.

"Hello Mr.Sootwilbur, what do you need?" I teased. "Why have you two just been sitting in the parking lot with your car running for the past ten minutes? I saw you guys at (whatever restaurant you were eating at) and was gonna ho up to you but you were gone when I could get the chance and then I got confused when I saw your car was still here." Wilbur explained. 

I'm pretty sure my face turned red when he asked his question, but I put my hood up, feigning cold before he could notice. I noticed Tommy had been unusually quiet during this whole predicament, and I turned to see him peacefully sleeping. I guess all his late-night streams must have finally caught up with him.

Without even realizing it, I had began smiling softly as I looked at the pretty boy, how his hair was fluffed up in his face and his peaceful smile. I wanted to wrap a blanket around him and hug him bit I couldn't. I turned back to Wilbur finally, and he flashes me a knowing smile. 

"I'll talk to you guys later, no?" He said before turning and walking back to his own car. I  took one last glance at the tranquil boy in the seat next to me before taking off my winter coat and laying it over him like a blanket and smiling widely when he instantly hugged it and smiled. Then, I put the car in neutral and drove off.
