Love but without faults

(How they met)

*3 years ago*
MARIYAH POV -
I was scrolling on Instagram when a message popped up from one of my mutuals that I have never talked to before. I pressed on the message since I had nothing better to do.

From that day on me and Nic texted a lot just to talk about random things. When my tour was going to be in his country I messaged him and told him that I'd take him up on the offer to stay at his apartment. He told me that only two other people stayed with him Nils Kussel and Benji Krol. I both followed them on Instagram awhile ago and they followed me back but we have never talked before.

I arrived at the Berlin airport around 6pm at night Benji and Nic were coming to come pick me up. I was really excited to meet them since they seemed really nice. The person I was most exited to meet was Nic since we were online best friends but have never met him irl. I was also nervous that Benji and Nils weren't gonna like me. When I got off the plane I texted Nic so he would know I was here he told me that both of them were already waiting for me at the bag checking. As I got near the bag checking I saw them Nic ran up to me and hugged me. I hugged him back. "Oh my gosh your shorter then I thought" he said to me while he let me go. "Wow is see how it is." I laughed as I went to go hug Benji who had ran behind Nic trying to keep up. "It's so nice to finally meet you." He said to me. "Oh my gosh same I've been dying to meet you." We let go of each other and he grabbed my bag while I grabbed my suitcase. "I can carry that for you if you want." Nic says. "No it's okay I got it" I replied. We walked to the car as I told them about my flight here. When we got to the car Benji opened the trunk and we put my bag and suitcase there and we got in the car. "I'm hungryyy" benji says. "Sameeeee we should get some McDonolds. Do you guys have McDonolds here?" "Yeah obviously" Nic replies in a sassy tone. I put my hands up in defeat. We go to McDonolds and put in our orders Benji orders something for Nils. "Why didn't Nils come?" I ask them. "He just didn't want to I guess and he was getting your room ready" Benji says. "Oh ok".
