You Me, A Place To Be

The first thing Peter notices when he gets inside the car is that it smells like roses, Y/N turns on the bluetooth for herself immediately the first song is One More Love Song by Mac DeMarco. Peter is happy when Y/N doesn't skip it. Éliot was there in the car, sitting up front so Y/N sat in the back with Peter

As Willow pulls the car to the road, Peter doesn't try not to look at Y/N. It's funny, actually, but after the conversation with Soap - monologue, really, since she's still a cat -, he feels a little less anxious, a little more relaxed. It's like he's come to terms that this might be going at a faster pace than he expected, but this is Y/N, so he doesn't think this could've gone any other way. And Peter is okay with it, really - if Y/N's cat didn't judge him, why should she?

It's quiet as they ride, just the sound of the next song playing - it's K. by Cigarettes After Sex. Y/N doesn't look at him as much as Peter does, instead she is going through her notebook that she writes songs in.

He wants to reach out for her hand, but both Y/N hands are busy, holding a pen and holding the notebook, so he doesn't. Instead, he closes his eyes, laying his head back on the headrest.

It's about ten minutes into the drive that he notices Y/N bouncing her leg, and fidgeting with her pen. "You okay?" He finally speaks up but his voice is a whisper.

She nods, "Just playing a new song today, so I'm a bit nervous." She shrugs.

"You'll do great." And that's when he finally reaches for her hand and grabs it, holding it tight causing Y/N to blush.

Then Willow finally speaks, but it's in French, "Éliot." He looks at her, "Je suis entré dans la cuisine de Y/N et ceux-ci étaient sur le point de baiser. Je suis traumatisée."

At whatever she said, Éliot turns to look at Y/N, "Vous en obtenez enfin? Je suis fier." He reaches for her left hand, - the one that isn't holding Peters -, and he kisses it causing Peter to clench his jaw and shift in his seat from jealousy.

"Ah fais attention Peter devient jaloux facilement." Y/N giggles and Peter folds his arms, letting go of Y/N's hand.

"Lets tell Peter what you all are saying, please." He frowns.

Y/N hits his shoulder, "Willow says that she is traumatised from what she saw in the kitchen. Éliot said I'm finally getting some, and I said careful Peter gets jealous easily." She grabs my hand, "Now, everyone shush because I need to practice in my head. Bit nervous cos P is here."

"You don't need to be." Peter rubs his thumb across her hand.

The ride to the bar takes about fifteen minutes. It's just when they're all standing outside the car that Peter notices that Y/N doesn't have her acoustic guitar with her.

He turns to look at her, before they even make their way inside. "Where's your guitar?" He asks Y/N, eyebrows furrowed.

"Théo has it, but he dropped it off here." She answers, "Borrowed it so he could work on a melody for my song. But he's already texted saying it's here."

Peter nods. "Oh, okay."

Y/N reaches out for his hand and says, "Come on" It isn't really crowded by the time they get inside 17Roses, but Y/N tells him that since it's a Friday, people tend to go to the bar a little later than they would on the weekdays.
