Tayvis One-Shots

first date

Taylor:
Okay, so I'm not great at this whole "first date" thing... 🙈 Any idea what you want to do tonight?

Travis:
Haha, well, you're definitely not alone. First date jitters are real. Uh, maybe we keep it simple? Like, dinner somewhere cute?

Taylor:
Simple sounds good. But also... I'm stressing a little over what to wear. What if I'm too overdressed or not dressed enough? 😅

Travis:
Honestly, you could wear anything and still look incredible. Just be yourself, Taylor. That's all I want. But if you want me to help you pick, I'm here for that too! 😂

Taylor:
You're sweet. I think I've got something, but... you know when you just have to ask someone, "Is this okay?" 🤦‍♀️

Travis:
I'm sure whatever you pick will be perfect. I'm a little nervous too, you know... I'm hoping I don't make a fool of myself. 😬

Taylor:
Oh no, you won't! I'm sure I'll be the one doing that. 😂

Travis:
No chance. I'll be just as nervous as you, promise. 😅

Taylor:
Okay, well... just make sure you don't show up in a hoodie, okay? I'm just saying... 😂

Travis:
Deal. No hoodie, I swear. You've got my word.

Taylor:
Good. 😜

Travis:
I'm looking forward to it, though. Honestly, I can't wait to see you. 😊

Taylor:
Same. I'm excited... but also nervous! 😅

Travis:
It's gonna be great. See you soon. ❤️

Taylor's POV - Later that night

I stand in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. Okay, Taylor, you've got this. My hands are a little shaky as I adjust my outfit, simple, but still classy. It's one of those moments where I want to look just right, but I'm still unsure. My heart is doing this weird little flip-flop thing as I grab my phone to check the time.

I scroll through the messages between Travis and me, feeling the butterflies settle in my stomach. This isn't just a date. This is our first date. The idea of being with him, in that way, makes me both excited and ridiculously nervous. I've dated before, of course, but something about this feels different—something in the way we've connected already.

When I get his text, my heart skips.

Travis:
"On my way... you ready?"

I take a deep breath, typing back quickly.
Taylor:
"Almost. Just... a little nervous. But I think I'm ready now. 😅"

A few minutes later, there's a knock at my door. My heart jumps in my chest, and I can barely keep the smile off my face. I grab my jacket, give myself one last glance in the mirror, and head out the door.

When I open it, there he is, Travis, standing on the other side, looking nervous in the most adorable way. He's wearing a nice shirt, and it's clear he made an effort.

"Hey," he says, his voice a little shaky. "Wow. You look... wow."

I feel my cheeks heat up. "Thanks. You look... really good. I mean, you look great. I wasn't sure what to expect, but you're definitely looking amazing."

He laughs softly, rubbing the back of his neck, clearly just as nervous as I am. "I was worried you might think I'm underdressed or something. I mean, I was debating whether to wear a jacket or not, but-"
