no one's pov
cami was awake watching something on her ipad and madi was asleep, sprawled across the table.
eliza was nervous and you could tell, she was biting her nails, couldn't focus on the screen in front of her, stammering when someone was talking to her and her leg was bouncing. but of course, cami was too engrossed in the screen infront of her to even realise.
chris had turned around to talk to her a couple of times, taking note of her behaviour.
"hey liz, you okay?" he asked and eliza just nodded, "it's okay to be scared? y'know?" he says trying to comfort her and she just nods her head.
Just then chris stands up and moves nick and walks to eliza's row and shakes cami, "hey cami mind if i sit here for a bit?" he asks and she just nods, putting up her tray table and picking up her ipad then walking infront to the next row and sits down in the middle.
"you okay?" chris asks putting his hand on top of hers, "i guess" are some of the only words she can force out, "it's just how i get in the middle of flights, i tried reading but i couldn't stop my brain from travelling to what bad things can happen on a plane" she says quickly, choking back the lump in her throat.
chris looks at her with a soft smile and grasps her hand which makes eliza smile, "wanna play a game?" he asks and eliza nods her head, "what game?" she replies and chris looks to think.
"what about 8 ball? ill pay my coins so we can play offline" he offers and eliza nods, "whose starting?" she asks and chris just looks at her.
"you, of course, you be player 1 i'll be player 2" he says in a duh tone and eliza just rolls her eyes playfully and takes the phone, breaking the triangle and scoring not one, but two striped balls.
she smiles and punches the air smiling and chris looks at her, "no way, your cheating" he says and eliza looks up at him as she's slouched in her seat, "don't hate me just because i'm better" she shrugs and takes her turn and pots another striped ball, so chris is solids and eliza is striped.
She takes her turn, again, and doesn't pot anything so she passes the phone to chris, who pots a solid ball so he has a second turn but he misses so he passes the phone to eliza and so on.
eliza ended up winning and they started watching sing, a film they had loved watching together, laughing at the funny part with her head on his shoulder
when the film ended, he went to say something to eliza who was now asleep on his shoulder. he smiled to himself and closed his eyes and put his head back.
5 HOURS LATER
the direct flight was around 11 hours so they had about another 4 hours left, eliza woke up and was shocked. to be frank, she fell asleep on the plane.
she lifted her head and looked at who was asleep next to her and she smiled when she saw it was chris, who was asleep on the chair next to her.
his hair fell perfectly on his face, he was slightly smiling, he looked beautiful. but of course eliza would never admit that, she didn't even like him anyways, she just was at her happiest when he was around him.
eliza got out her airpods and started listening to her playlist an around 50 minutes later chris woke up, she looked too her left and he was rubbing his eyes and then looked at her. blinking adjusting to the reading light that was on.
eliza smiled at chris, "thank you, chris. thank you for everything" and he just smiled back at her nodding his head, "anytime, lizzy. i love you"
"i love you too" eliza says and chris's stomach flutters, he only felt this around eliza and he just thought it was because he was closest with her.
