Horrorfest [friend's POV] (lemon + fluff)

iwannafingread request

A/N: just so you're aware ahead of time, this story is about the friend, best friend, & other friend from the first Horrorfest story. The friend from the original Horrorfest story is going to be called Y/N here, and best friend & other friend are still themselves. Y/N from the previous story will be called (friend) here.

Y/N POV:

(Other friend) parks the car in the parking lot, turning the car off.

"Alright, we're here. Just please don't get too drunk, okay? I'm gonna have to be the one to deal with your drunk asses at the end of the night, and I don't want to do that."

(Best friend) & I hastily agree, opening our doors and practically jumping out of the car. We break into a near run until we end up at the food section of the festival. We smile excitedly to one another, taking in everything with wide, eager eyes.

"We're finally here, (best friend)."

"I know! I love it."

(Best friend) bands his arms around me in a tight hug, pulling me close. I catch a whiff of his comforting scent, smiling against his shoulder. He tightens his grip around me, smiling against my hair.

After a little bit, (best friend) backs away from the hug and looks at me with the same smile as before, his arms still around me. My heart flutters as I return the smile, our eyes locking for a good few seconds. I find myself unable to look away, quickly getting distracted by the man before me.

Before I can fully process what I'm doing, I start steadily inching toward (best friend). His breath briefly catches before he does the same as me, the world around us starting to fade. My heart races, my eyes now transfixed on his lips. His hand tentatively begin reaching for my cheeks, until...

"Boo."

(Best friend) and I quickly back away from one another, our eyes wide as (friend)'s crush comes over to where (friend), (other friend), (best friend), & I are. My focus quickly shifts to (friend) when I see the flustered look on his face. Everyone outside of (friend) and (friend)'s crush looks at one another with a knowing grin.

"Hey, (friend's crush). I didn't know you were gonna be here."

"Yeah, I came. I thought it would be a lot of fun. I didn't know you liked horror stuff, too, (friend)."

"I do, actually. I came for the same reason."

What?

Out of the corner of my eyes, I notice (best friend) turning to (friend) with a confused look on his face.

"Wait, didn't you–?"

Before (best friend) can continue, I cover his mouth with his hand to silence him. I silently gesture for (friend) to continue. (Friend) turns back to (friend's crush), going back to their conversation.

I turn to (best friend) and (other friend), silently beckoning them closer to me and putting some space between us and (friend) & (friend's crush). I move closer to (best friend) and (other friend), speaking in a hushed tone.

"Let's allow the lovebirds to hang out. What do you say we all get some food and watch the band for a bit?"

The other two smile at me and nod enthusiastically, making my heart skip a beat. I nod back, practically dragging both of them toward the food stands.

~*time skip*~

(Best friend), (other friend), & I walk away from the amphitheater, laughing and hanging onto each other with large grins. I notice (friend) & (friend's crush) sitting at one of the picnic tables together and I guide the other two toward the table, eager to move onto the final event before the end of the night.
