Shane randomly stopped walking after a while at the corner of a street making me run into his back.

Shane turned around and started laughing, making me laugh too. I looked up slightly and saw a bus stop sign.

"Where are we going?" I asked Shane pointing at the sign with my unoccupied hand.

"Oh you'll see" he said smiling at me.

I huffed and sat down on the bench that was next to us. I heard Shane slightly laugh and walk over to me.

I turned my head and saw him sit down next to me as we waited for the bus. The silence wasn't awkward silence, it seemed like we both didn't want to say anything , afraid of breaking the peaceful silence to make it awkward.

A bus pulled up to the bus stop and Shane got up first.

To my surprise, Shane took my hand and walked to the door of the bus with me.

I felt my face go beat red. I was just staring at our hands as he guided me to the bus.

We walked into the bus and he was still holding my hand, we got to an empty seat and sat down.

He pulled out his phone and headphones, plugged in the headphones and started doing something on his phone, he then smiled and grabbed the left headphone, giving it to me while he had the right one.

He started playing music from the headphones , I immediately knew it was foo fighters and I turned to smile at him but he had already been smiling at me as if he was wanting to see my reaction.

It might have took a full five minutes of lecturing myself, contemplating and building up courage, but I finally decided to let my head fall onto his shoulder.

I felt Shane's shoulders go stiff for a second but then relaxed and leaned his head on top of mine.

I closed my eyes and smiled listening to the music playing in my ear.

I felt the bus rock around so I opened my eyes and Shane moved his head up so I followed his actions and leaned up too.

The bus had gotten downtown, where was he taking me?

"Downtown?" I asked him looking around after we got off the bus.

"Yeah! I've never gone downtown yet and you always talk about how much you love the thrift store here so I thought it would be fun" he said smiling.

I was smiling at him, I was forgetting to say anything back to him because only thing that was crossing my mind was that he remembered. He remembered the small things that I talk about and that I like.

But I saw his face grow worried "is that okay?" He asked.

"Oh! Yeah sorry I forgot to respond" I said laughing.

He looked relived and said " follow me" with a big smile on his face as he took my hand again.

I laughed as he was running into a thrift store pulling me along. We started looking through some clothes and I found the weirdest sunglasses ever.

Shane was on the other side of the clothing rack so I put the glasses on and separated the clothes revealing myself in the glasses.

Shane started laughing "what is that?!" He said while still laughing making me start laughing along with him.

We heard someone clear their throat behind us and we stopped laughing to turn around.

There stood the owner of the store glaring at us. I heard Shane giggle from behind me and I turned around to see him trying so hard not to laugh.

This made me burst into laughter yet again and Shane following my actions and laughing too.

"Okay, out you teenagers" the owner said getting angry now so we walked out of the store laughing like little kids.

It was getting dark by now and the street had 5 seconds until we couldn't cross so Shane grabbed my hand and started sprinting across the street.( told you it would be a hint)

This made me laugh as we had gotten across the street just in time.

We both took a second to catch are breath which was hard to do because we were sprinting and laughing our asses off.

"RECORD STORE!" I said out of breath still, who can blame me? I love record stores.

He laughed as he started running again and pulling me into the store.

It was pure heaven.

Each box was a different BAND. Not just a genre like all the record places I go to.

I stood in the doorway just staring at the place, forgetting shane was standing right next to me still holding my hand.

I looked down at our hands and dragged him further in the store.

I started looking through all the records. They were things like classic rock, metal, heavy metal, jazz, and etc. I knew almost every band which made me want to buy them all but they're super expensive.

I ended up with five.

I knew I spent a lot of money just now. About 50 dollars on records. Shane tried to pay for me but got distracted over a shirt he saw, giving me a chance to pay for the records.

"Look at this shirt y/n!" He said holding up the  band shirt like a little kid. "That actually really cool" I said kind of laughing and going closer to the shirt.

"I'm gonna get it" he said excitedly. I laughed and said "okay" in response.

"Damnit! You bought the records"he said disappointed while pointing at the records the owner was now putting in a bag.

"Yup!" I said laughing, he laughed a bit too and started buying the two records and shirt he picked up.

We walked out of the record store and it was about 7:50 now.

"Do you have any place in mind?" Shane asked me.

I thought about places we could go to, there was a restaurant I knew but that's not really what we are doing right now.

But I remembered and thrift store that also sold plants.

"Oh I know!" I said grabbing Shane's hand and started to walk in the direction of the store.

SORRY FOR THE WAIT AGAIN! I went to a hotel out of town and my seven year old cousin was always trying to look at my phone soo, yeah!
