Devotion [TommyInnit x Oc] ✔️

Chapter 8

"Tommy, you have to tell my brother. And maybe my dad." Riley finally brought up the conversation, and Tommy jolted in his seat, on call with Tubbo and Ranboo, planning vlogs. "I do? Why don't we-" "No, we've put it off long enough Toms. That, and I miss my brother." Tommy groaned and motioned for her to text him and continued planning. Riley texted her brother asking if they could visit. "Done and delivered." She kissed Tommy's cheek and sat on the floor, smiling. "Oh, I forgot that Ranboo and Toby don't know." Tommy laughed mockingly and refused to tell them.

"Aw come on Tommy!" Toby whined, slamming his desk jokingly. "Seriously you can't just have a whole conversation ab–" "oh my God your dating Reals." Ranboo burst out, putting the pieces together. Tommy groaned whereas Reals cheered. "Told you he'd figure it out first! Ha bitch, hand it over!" "Wh-WHAT?" Toby exclaimed, noticing Reals thought he was dumb. "No offence Tubbo, but Ranboo has more relationship uhh experience." Tommy chuckled and stretched, remembering Ranboo was in a relationship. "How is Lucky?" "Oh he's good, currently drawing on my arm actually. Say hi love." It was quiet for a moment before Lucky's voice came through. "uh- Oh hey Tommy." Their voice got quieter and a bit muffled. "Who was I saying hi to? Re- Oh, yo Reals."

"Tommy!" Riley didn't know if he was streaming so she yelled through his door. What? She didn't have his notifications on at the moment. "What Reals?" So he is streaming. "We have that thing!" She clicked on his live for a moment and as it loaded, he stared at the monitor in fear. "Oh shit, oh! OH SHIT!" He quickly said bye to his chat and ended the stream. She cleared her tabs and grabbed the Jeep keys. Luckily the parents were okay with them taking the Jeep whenever they wanted. If they didn't want them taking the Jeep there would be a note on the keys saying 'Not today'. "I'll wait in the car!" Riley called out as she bounced out the front door, waving goodbye to Carrie and Kyle. They never officially told the parents, but it was pretty noticeable.

"I really don't want to do this." Tommy sighed before getting in the passenger seat, watching Riley reverse and head towards her brother's flat. "Yeah, I know. He's understanding Toms. You're a good guy, not a dick. He won't mind us dating." The much needed ego boost made Tommy smile as he played Sex Sells through the speakers. "Banger song." Tommy says while smirking, bopping his head to it. "I'd bop my head as well but I'd crash." Riley joked, scaring Tommy. "Dear god."

"Arlo!" Riley cheered as her brother opened the door. She hugged him tightly and he kissed her forehead. "I missed you Riles-" his voice faltered as he saw Tommy. "Hey Tommy, what's up?" Tommy slightly stiffened until he remembered what they were here for. "I have to talk to you Arlo." Arlo's expression became neutral as he led the two inside, gesturing for Riley to make herself comfortable while the two talked.

"I'm raiding your snacks." Riley announced and walked into the kitchen, grabbing an apple. "Not too many! My roommate might freak." Riley laughed and walked back into the living room. Thick tension. She sat next to Tommy and reassuringly held his hand. Tommy swallowed and took a deep breath. "You didn't get her knocked up did you?" Arlo asked as Tommy went to speak. "WHAT? NO!" Arlo breathed a sigh of relief and ran his hand down his face. "Sorry, continue."

"I'm dating Riley, I know I should've asked you for permission, but I couldn't wait any longer. She's amazing and I really like her, so.. yeah." Arlo raised his eyebrow for a moment before breaking into a smile. "Thank God he isn't a douche!" Arlo clapped Tommy on the back and nodded. "I appreciate you telling me. How long?" Neither of them had been keeping track of the days. At least that's what the other thought. "A week, exactly 9 days, 13 hours, and 48 minutes." Tommy stated proudly, and Riley looked at him with awe. "What the fuck I didn't even know what day today was."

Arlo invited them to stay for dinner, but Riley turned him down. "Another time, Carrie is making dinner tonight and I love her dinners." Arlo chuckled and hugged his sister again, ruffling her hair. "Alright, see you kid." Tommy smiled and Arlo gave him a hand shake and also ruffled his hair. "Get outta here punks, you've got dinner to eat." The couple laughed and walked back to their car. The moment the doors closed, Tommy exhaled loudly. "Holy shit I was so scared for a while. Thank you god." Riley rolled her eyes and went to reverse, but Tommy stopped her. "I want to drive home."

He put his hand on Riley's seat and reversed, Riley simping as he did that. "What's up?" Tommy asked as Riley turned red, looking away from him. "What? Nothing. Why would you assume something was up?" Tommy chuckled and held her hand, pulling the wheel away from home. "What the hell, I want your mom's dinner!" "She already knows I'm taking you on a dinner date so she didn't make a lot." Riley looked down at her clothes and back to Tommy. "Wh- How fancy? What's the dress code?" Tommy stops for a moment before shrugging. "Obviously we can't do fancy seeing as neither of us are dressed fancy."

They ended up at a Taco Bell. "I love tacos and shit, but like.. your moms cooking." Tommy scoffed and looked at the menu, as did Riley. "I know, it's amazing. But, we can eat fast food for once." Riley nodded thoughtfully and pointed at what she wanted. Tommy squinted and sighed. "I can't fucking tell what your pointing at-" "Dorito tacos." She said plainly and smiled at him, melting his heart. "Okay 2 dorito tacos, nacho or ranch?" She stared in amazement, not knowing there were 2 different flavours. "Um! Ranch." Tommy chuckled softly and ordered their food, sitting at one of the tables waiting.

"You're so cute." Tommy said as they sat down, flustering Riley at the nonchalant way he said it. "W-What?" She smiled, flustered and blew him a kiss. She pulled up her mask subconsciously, and Tommy subtly sighed at the notion. "Wait in the car while I get our food?" Tommy asked as their order was called. "Okay, be quick I'm hungry." She practically skipped out of the building and climbed into the Jeep, waiting patiently.

"You're an idiot." Tommy sighed and kissed her hand, parking in the same parking lot they had their first date on. "I'm glad you've noticed!" The two laughed and ate their food, Tommy occasionally cracking a joke. "I want to meet Wilbur-" Riley started but stopped as Tommy stared at her. "What?" She asked nervously, worried he didn't want her to meet Wilbur. "Y-You want to meet Wil?" Tommy asked, awestruck. "Um, obviously! He's important to you and vice versa, I want to make a good impression." She scoffed playfully, crumbling up her wrapper and tossing it in the bag. "That's so adorable, Riles! Oh my God. I can schedule something if you want?" She nodded.
