Just Friends // Pierre Gasly

The Last Night

Jules: Okay, are you ready?
Y/n: I think so...
Jules: Why are you so nervous?
Y/n: What if they don't like me? I mean I'm a stranger to them that's just about to show up in their friend's life. I live with you and they've never even seen me before. Plus, I'm only 18 and what if they think that I'm stupidly young to do such a move or-
Jules: -Y/n! You're rambling
Y/n: Sorry. I'm just really nervous.
Jules: They will love you. Lorenzo, the oldest, will keep a steady conversation. He'll keep it calm. Charles, he's pretty much going to take you in immediately as family. You'll see, nobody cares like he does. Then there's Arthur, well he's just going to make you laugh and be very sweet. They're just guys, they won't judge you.
Y/n: Okay... okay I'm ready.
Jules: Besides, they've heard so much about you I wouldn't exactly call you a stranger...
Y/n: Aw do you talk about me Julesie?
Jules: I do. Now let's go.

Jules knocked on the door and they were greeted with a warm smile.

Charles: You must be Y/n! Please come in...

****
Charles: No ways you were that nervous to meet us
Y/n: I was!
Lorenzo: You really thought we'd judge you?
Arthur: I mean I did...
Y/n: What?!
Arthur: I'm kidding! You were amazing from the second you walked in. There was nothing to not like.
Y/n: Aw thanks.
Charles: So Jules really explained each of us to you...
Y/n: He did. You all meant so much to him. I'm glad I got to keep you guys around.
Arthur: Oh please! We kept you around, not the other way around.
Y/n: Haha sure. I forced you to. You had no choice, you just didn't know it.
Lorenzo: I mean you did just announce you were gonna move in with Charles.
Charles: That's very true
Y/n: I didn't hear complaints
Arthur: We just didn't tell them to you
Y/n: Meanies! Well I'm leaving pretty much in two days so you'll be free
Charles: Aw Y/n, we're just teasing you. We love having you around.

He placed his arm around her shoulders and gave a small squeeze in attempt to hug while seated.

Y/n: I love you guys... I'm so glad Jules introduced us.

They all smiled at each other before Arthur looked at Charles.

Charles: Um Y/n...
Y/n: Yeah?
Charles: Pierre wanted you to have something. He wants you to have it before the wedding but because of your arrangement he's asked me to give you this.

He took out the small rectangular box and handed it to Y/n.

Y/n: I- thank you.

She opened it and saw the necklace.

Y/n: It's beautiful!
Charles: Let me-

He held it up to the light for her to see it. Y/n looked closely in confusion and in a moment she got teary eyed.

Y/n: I can't believe it. This is the most precious thing ever.
Charles: He told me to tell you why... you said you always thought Jules would be with you on your wedding day. Well now he can...
Y/n: I told myself I wouldn't cry tonight

Charles wiped a stray tear away for Y/n and she smiled gently.
The evening carried on and once they paid the bill they took a walk down to the nearest beach. Arthur and Charles walked ahead of Y/n and Lorenzo.

Lorenzo: You okay? You're very quite
Y/n: This is it I guess...
Lorenzo: What do you mean?
Y/n: I'm getting married tomorrow, moving away. What's going to happen to these sibling outings?
Lorenzo: They'll be less frequent but will still happen. They will also become regular face time calls. You have so much to look forward to.
Y/n: You're right. Let's catch up to the others?
Lorenzo: Hang on. I know this is probably what Charles would say to you but I am your older brother and I have to say this too. Pierre is a good man but if he ever hurts you or you ever need anything, you call me okay? I am always going to be here for you.
Y/n: You're right, that was very Charles like of you Lo. But thank you so much. I won't forget that.

Arthur: Come on guys! You're behind!
Y/n: Didn't realize it was a race!

They laughed as they caught up to them. The four of them walked alongside each other and Y/n had never felt so completed. Every nerve she had in the past about the upcoming days and weeks was gone.

They stayed there for another short while before deciding it was getting late and went home.
Y/n went into her room and looked around at the boxes. For room she'd be waking up in on her wedding day, it wasn't a very homey looking. Just then she heard a knock.

Y/n: Yeah?
Charles: Can I come in?
Y/n: Of course
Charles: Comfortable?
Y/n: Not really... all the boxes make it more a storage unit than bedroom.
Charles: Well good thing we're swapping rooms tonight.
Y/n: What?
Charles: You cannot wake up to this on your special day. My room is much more room-like for you.
Y/n: You're the best Charles!

She got up, grabbing her pillow and went off to Charles' room. As she lay in bed that night she couldn't help but smile. She was so excited to start her future tomorrow. She couldn't wait to see Pierre either. With every bone in her body she wanted to call him and tell him about her mom, thank him for the necklace and say goodnight for the last time before they became husband and wife. Though it saddened her that she couldn't do this, a bigger part of her couldn't wait that she'd never have to go to bed without Pierre by her side again...
